text: I moved to Portland, Oregon in 1998 with a broken heart. My ex-boyfriend was a painter and I helped him with composition, but I had never done art on my own. So when I made it to Portland, I decided to buy some art supplies, get really good at painting, and kick his ass! Within a few years, I was showing all over the city and doing a lot of commercial work. I have shown all over the country, and can't believe that being an artist wasn't part of my life from the beginning. Now, I’m an artist though and though. I have carried that same passion over to interior design. As an interior designer, I create individual spaces that reflect my clients as well as the inner artist they don’t know that they have. My passion is to create spaces that grow and evolve, and not fall into trend. I find quality pieces, not pieces that lose life with time. Let’s create a forever space together, with an artistic influence that will make your neighbors envious.

No Harming (La Darara Wa La Dirara)40 Hadith, Imam An-Nawawi

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say, “What I have forbidden for you, avoid. What I have ordered you [to do], do as much of it as you can. For verily, it was only the excessive questioning and their disagreeing with their Prophets that destroyed [the nations] who were before you.” [Al-Bukhari] [Muslim]

On the authority of Tameem ibn Aus ad-Daree (may Allah be pleased with him):
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “The deen (religion) is naseehah (advice, sincerity).” We said “To whom?” He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said “To Allah, His Book, His Messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk.” [Muslim]

Lesson: Introduction to Art Criticism

### Section 1: What is Art Criticism?
Art criticism is the analysis and evaluation of art. It involves looking at artworks, understanding their meaning, and expressing opinions about them. Art criticism can be done by anyone, but it is usually done by trained professionals who study art history, theory, and practice.

### Section 2: How to Do Art Criticism
To do art criticism, you need to follow these steps:
1. Observe the artwork carefully and try to understand what it represents.
2. Analyze the artwork by looking at its composition, color, texture, and other visual elements.
3. Think about the context of the artwork, such as the artist's background, the time period in which it was created, and the cultural values it reflects.
4. Evaluate the artwork based on your observations and analysis.
5. Express your opinion about the artwork in a clear and concise manner.

### Section 3: Examples of Art Criticism
Here are some examples of art criticism:
1. "The Starry Night" by Vincent van Gogh is a beautiful painting that captures the beauty of the night sky. The use of vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes creates a sense of movement and energy that draws the viewer into the painting.
2. "Guernica" by Pablo Picasso is a powerful anti-war statement that uses distorted forms and bold colors to convey the horrors of war. The painting is a reminder of the devastation that war can cause and serves as a call to action for peace.
3. "The Persistence of Memory" by Salvador Dali is a surreal masterpiece that explores the concept of time and memory. The melting clocks and distorted forms create a dreamlike atmosphere that challenges the viewer's perception of reality.

### Conclusion:
Art criticism is an important tool for understanding and appreciating art. By analyzing and evaluating artworks, we can gain insights into the artists' intentions, cultural values, and historical contexts. Through art criticism, we can learn to appreciate the beauty and complexity of art and apply these skills to new problems.

Lesson: Introduction to Data Analysis

**Objective:** To introduce students to the basics of data analysis and its importance in making informed decisions.

**Glossary:**
- Data: Information collected for a specific purpose.
- Analysis: The process of breaking down data into meaningful insights.
- Insights: Discoveries or revelations derived from data analysis.

**Section 1: What is Data Analysis?**
Data analysis is the process of collecting, organizing, and interpreting data to gain insights and make informed decisions. It involves using statistical and computational methods to identify patterns, trends, and relationships within the data.

**Section 2: Why is Data Analysis Important?**
Data analysis is important because it helps us make informed decisions based on evidence rather than intuition or guesswork. By analyzing data, we can identify trends and patterns that would otherwise go unnoticed, leading to better decision-making and problem-solving.

**Section 3: How do you Analyze Data?**
To analyze data, you need to follow these steps:
1. Define your research question or objective.
2. Collect data relevant to your research question.
3. Clean and organize the data by removing outliers, duplicates, or irrelevant information.
4. Analyze the data using statistical and computational methods such as regression analysis, correlation analysis, or clustering.
5. Interpret the results and draw conclusions based on the insights gained.

**Section 4: Practical Examples**
Let's say you are a marketing manager trying to determine which advertising campaign was more effective in driving sales. You could use data analysis to compare the two campaigns by analyzing metrics such as click-through rates, conversion rates, and return on investment (ROI). By comparing these metrics, you can determine which campaign was more successful in achieving your goals.

**Section 5: Conclusion**
Data analysis is an essential tool for making informed decisions in today's data-driven world. By following the steps outlined above, you can gain valuable insights from your data and use those insights to improve your decision-making processes. Remember to always ask questions, challenge assumptions, and think critically about the data you are analyzing.


text: Wow, that didn't take long – maybe 24 hours. Years ago Radio Shack (Tandy Corp) sued Auto Shack (now Auto Zone) over the use of "Shack". If I remember correctly, Tandy successfully argued that the use of the word Shack by Auto Shack was causing confusion in the market – something along those lines. I don’t know about you, but when I think of i-anything, I think of Apple. Based on several years of Apple's using "i" in naming their products and promoting the company; looks to me like Cisco is trying to ride Apples wave. I wonder how this plays out for Apple – will the iPhone become the Apple Phone or will Apple fight this one out?. Update: Opps, according to USPTO looks like the trademark on the iphone was filed back in March of 1996. Here's Cisco's side.

Lesson: Trademark Law and its Importance in Business

Introduction:
Trademark law is an essential aspect of business that helps protect companies from unfair competition, misleading advertising, and dilution of their brand. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of trademark law, its importance in business, and how it can help protect a company's intellectual property.

Section 1: What is Trademark Law?

Trademark law is a branch of intellectual property law that governs the use of symbols, words, or phrases that distinguish the goods or services of one party from those of another. It helps protect companies from unauthorized use of their brand name, logo, or slogan by others.

Importance of Trademark Law:

1. Protection of Intellectual Property: Trademark law helps protect a company's intellectual property by preventing others from using similar symbols, words, or phrases that could confuse consumers or dilute the distinctiveness of the original brand.

2. Prevent Unfair Competition: Trademark law prevents competitors from using similar marks that might confuse customers into believing they are associated with the original brand.

3. Prevent Misleading Advertising: Trademark law ensures that companies do not use misleading advertising that would deceive customers into believing that their products or services are affiliated with a different brand.

Section 2: How does Trademark Law Work?

Trademark law works by granting exclusive rights to use a particular mark to the person or entity that first uses it in commerce. This means that if someone else tries to use a similar mark, they could be sued for trademark infringement.

To obtain a trademark, a company must file an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The USPTO will review the application and determine whether the mark is eligible for registration. Once registered, the trademark is valid for 10 years, and it can be renewed indefinitely as long as the company continues to use the mark in commerce.

Section 3: Real-World Examples

1. Coca-Cola: The Coca-Cola Company has been successful in protecting its trademark by suing companies that use similar colors or fonts in their packaging. One notable case was when the company sued a small bottler that used a similar red and white color scheme for its packaging.

2. Apple vs. Samsung: In 2012, Apple sued Samsung for patent infringement, trademark infringement, and unfair competition. The case resulted in a $1 billion fine for Samsung, which was later reduced to $548 million.

Conclusion:

Trademark law is an essential aspect of business that helps protect companies from unfair competition, misleading advertising, and dilution of their brand. By understanding the basics of trademark law and its importance in business, companies can better protect their intellectual property and ensure that their brand remains unique and distinct from others in the market.

Using irony and powerful communication, he built a universe of images that have entered the collective imagination.. This book conveys this great artist’s vision and graphic universe. Testa approached the work of creation with humour and a radical creative anarchy that freely appropriated stylistic features, signs and iconographic references before reassembling them in a deliberate departure from any historical systematic approach. He passed from John Cage to De Chirico, Duchamp and Malevic with the inventive seen only in great communicators and true creatives.. His campaigns and images have become icons of our times and this book illustrates the richness and profundity of his development process..

Q:

How to use a sass $ declaration in useEffect (jsx?)

I have different styles set in a _variables.scss file. like
$secondary: #ffc500;
$tertiary: #ffdd69;
$quartiary: #fffbed;

I want to use different body colors so I want to change the body background in different pages like so:
        document.body.style.backgroundColor = "red"  });

this works nicely but now i want to use for example $primary instead of 'red'
I just can't make it work. does anybody have an idea?

A:

You can use the sass :export keyword to pass variables from sass files to js files:
// colors.scss
$primary: #123456;
:export {
  primary: $primary;
}

// main.js
import colors from './colors.scss'

colors.primary; // '#123456'

As far as I know this is a non-standard keyword, it is handled by webpack + sass-loader, but not all sass transpilers.

Lesson: Introduction to Sass Variables and Use with JavaScript

### Overview
In this lesson, we will learn about Sass variables and how to use them in JavaScript. We will also explore practical examples of using Sass variables in different scenarios.

### Section 1: What are Sass Variables?
Sass variables are reusable values that can be used throughout your CSS codebase. They are defined using the `$` symbol followed by the variable name. For example, `$primary-color: #0077be;` defines a variable named `primary-color` with the value `#0077be`.

### Section 2: Using Sass Variables in JavaScript
To use Sass variables in JavaScript, you need to first export them using the `:export` keyword. This creates a JavaScript object containing your Sass variables. Here's an example:

```scss
:export {
  --primary-color: #0077be;
  --secondary-color: #ffc500;
}
```

```javascript
import colors from './styles.scss';

console.log(colors.primaryColor); // #0077be
console.log(colors.secondaryColor); // #ffc500
```

In this example, we export our Sass variables using `:export`, and then import them into our JavaScript code using the `import` keyword. We can access the variables using the `colors` object.

### Section 3: Practical Examples
Let's look at some practical examples of using Sass variables in different scenarios:

1. Changing the background color of different pages
In this case, we want to change the background color of different pages using JavaScript. We can use Sass variables to store the colors and then change them dynamically using JavaScript.

```scss
:export {
  --page-one-bg: #f5f5f5;
  --page-two-bg: #e7e7e7;
}
```

```javascript
import colors from './styles.scss';

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
  if (window.location.pathname === '/page-one') {
    document.body.style.background = colors.pageOneBg;
  } else {
    document.body.style.background = colors.pageTwoBg;
  }
});
```

2. Creating a color palette
We can use Sass variables to create a color palette and then use those colors throughout our codebase.

```scss
:export {
  --primary-color: #0077be;
  --secondary-color: #ffc500;
  --tertiary-color: #fffbed;
  --quartiary-color: #ffe4c4;
}
```

```javascript
import colors from './styles.scss';

console.log(colors.primaryColor); // #0077be
console.log(colors.secondaryColor); // #ffc500
console.log(colors.tertiaryColor); // #fffbed
console.log(colors.quartiaryColor); // #ffe4c4
```

### Glossary
- `:export`: A non-standard Sass keyword used to export variables to JavaScript.
- CSS preprocessor: A tool that extends CSS with features like variables, nested rules, and mixins. Sass is a popular CSS preprocessor.
- JavaScript: A programming language used to create interactive web applications.

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about Sass variables and how to use them in JavaScript. We explored practical examples of using Sass variables in different scenarios, such as changing the background color of different pages and creating a color palette. By mastering Sass variables and their usage in JavaScript, we can create more efficient and organized CSS codebases.

Groundwater evaluation tools, such as conductivity probes, are susceptible to damage when a user places them into an underwater bottom. Accurate measurements are not possible when the groundwater evaluation tools are damaged and measurements become inaccurate or when influenced by direct contact with particulate matter.
A groundwater evaluation tool is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,711,489. In this known procedure, separate probes, one measuring temperature and the other conductivity, are embedded into a waterbed. A separate sampling system is placed nearby to collect a groundwater sample. However, this bulk measurement system is affected when the sampling tools come into contact with particulate matter in the sediment water or groundwater. For example, the conductivity of the particulate matter will influence this measurement. In addition, when the probes are placed into a hardened underwater bottom such as bedrock, the probes can be severely damaged.
Thus, there is a need for a groundwater evaluation tool that can be placed into a waterbed where the underwater bottom comprises sediment or is hardened without becoming damaged. Additionally, a need exists for a groundwater evaluation tool that is not adversely affected by contact with particulate matter and that can make in situ measurements. Finally, a need exists to be able to accurately place groundwater evaluation tools into an underwater surface and take measurements at a precise location.

Upcoming VentureBeat Events

(Editor’s note:Jeff Bussgang is a General Partner at Flybridge Capital Partners. This column originally appeared on his blogSeeing Both Sides.)

There’s a historical anomaly in start-up compensation that I’m struggling with. Although I know this risks being an unpopular post with entrepreneurs, I confess that I no longer get why we have four year vesting schedules for stock option grants at start-ups.

Let me explain.

Vesting is known as the time period during which you unconditionally own the stock options that are issued to you by your company. Until you vest the stock options, you forfeit them if you were to leave the company. Typically, that time period is four years.

There is also generally a one year “cliff”, which means that you don’t vest for a year and then “catch up” by vesting 25 percent of the stock options on the one year anniversary. Subsequent vesting happens monthly or quarterly, depending on the stock option plan your company has put in place.

I was explaining to a friend the typical vesting at venture capital firms is 8-10 years. That is, if you leave a fund before 8-10 years from the start of the fund, you risk forfeiting some of your unvested profit interest in the fund, or carry. I explained to my friend that this vesting schedule made sense given venture capital funds take 8-10 years from managing initial investments through to exits.

Then I realized that vesting at start-ups should also logically match the time it takes from inception to exit. In looking at the data, it appears that the average time to exit in start-ups during the 1990s was 4-5 years, so the traditional 4 year vesting period made sense.

But since then, the average time to exit has crept up meaningfully from 4-5 years to 6-8 years. So shouldn’t vesting schedules reflect this reality? Shouldn’t the vesting schedule for stock options be 6 years?

Boards are finding that they have to reissue options every 3-4 years because once an employee is fully vested, they naturally come back to the table with their hand outstretched asking for more incentive options to stick around.

In fact, why can’t vesting schedules be flexible and simply a part of the overall compensation negotiation? A CEO would benefit from having the tools at their disposal to adjust vesting dates alongside share amounts and other compensation levers.

For example, in the very early days, you might have six year vesting on stock options – but after a few years, that date might be reduced to four or five, depending on the situation. Some form of accelerated vesting upon change of control (i.e., a sale) is often a part of the package for senior executives, so if a quick exit were navigated, there wouldn’t be a meaningful penalty.

So maybe you can explain it to me, but I just don’t get why our industry clings to a historical magic figure of four years. Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Lesson: Start-up Compensation and Vesting Schedules

Introduction:
Start-up companies often offer stock options as part of their employee compensation packages. These stock options give employees the right to buy shares in the company at a predetermined price, usually when the company goes public or is acquired. However, these stock options are not automatically awarded to employees; they must be earned through their work and contribution to the company. This is where vesting schedules come into play.

Vesting schedules are a common feature of start-up employee compensation plans. They determine how long an employee must stay with the company to earn their stock options. Typically, vesting schedules last for four years, with a one-year cliff, meaning that employees must stay with the company for at least one year before they can begin earning their stock options. After the cliff period, employees typically vest 1/48th of their options each month until the full amount has been vested after four years.

Why do start-ups use vesting schedules?

Vesting schedules serve two primary purposes for start-ups:

1. Retention: By offering stock options that take time to vest, start-ups hope to retain employees who might otherwise leave for other opportunities. If an employee quits before their stock options have vested, they forfeit them, which creates an incentive to stay with the company for the full vesting period.

2. Protection: Vesting schedules also protect start-ups from potential losses due to employee turnover. If an employee leaves before their stock options have vested, the company does not have to award them any options, reducing the potential cost of employee turnover.

Why are four-year vesting schedules problematic?

In this post, Jeff Bussgang argues that four-year vesting schedules may no longer make sense for start-ups. He believes that the current system was designed to address the challenges of the early days of start-up culture but may now be outdated. Here are some reasons he gives for why four-year vesting schedules may be problematic:

1. Longer employee lifespans: With the rise of experienced entrepreneurs and seasoned executives joining start-ups, employees are staying with companies for longer periods than in the past. Four-year vesting schedules may not be necessary for these employees since they are unlikely to leave before their options vest.

2. High valuations: In recent years, start-up valuations have soared, making it more likely that employees will see significant gains from their stock options. As a result, employees may be less motivated to stay with a company for four years if they can achieve similar gains in a shorter amount of time.

3. Competition: The start-up ecosystem is highly competitive, and employees have many options for where they can work. Four-year vesting schedules may deter talented employees who want more flexibility in their career choices.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, start-up compensation plans that include stock options and vesting schedules must be carefully considered to ensure that they align with the needs and goals of the company. While four-year vesting schedules may have made sense in the past, today's start-ups may need to reevaluate their approach to employee retention and compensation. By offering more flexible and attractive compensation packages, start-ups can attract and retain top talent, which is essential for achieving long-term success.
