Have you trademarked your brand name, personal name, slogan, logo, hashtag, color, website URL, social media handle, podcast name, sound etc. that identifies goods or services you USE or INTEND TO USE in commerce? This is that book you didn't know you needed. Here you will find 20 pages of original content, including the never-before-seen, IP Planner and Punch List¿¿; a collection of check sheets, brainstorming exercise forms, interactive puzzle pages, and record keeping logs for current and future IP applications. Key forms were duplicated for future use. If you made it here, you're probably looking in to what it means to file a trademark application. Well, you've come to the right place. This book was birthed from a lack of "local" legal resources. The bottom line is, you CAN DIY. The main goal here, is to help you be efficient, in doing so. This book will NOT teach law, provide legal advice, teach "business 101", how to create a business plan, NOR will it teach the type of business entity to set up. This book WILL however, be the "project manager", pointing users to the resources, designed by the USPTO that may assist in learning, as you plan and complete your IP application.The biggest fear is, "Can I really do this without a lawyer?" The answer is, "Yes, you can". IS THIS FOR EVERYONE? No, not at all! Read my disclaimer at the front of the book. Legal matters should be handled by a licensed legal professional, however, sometimes situations arise when this is not attainable. Hiring a lawyer could cost $1000 or more. Time, is also a factor in hiring a lawyer, as you may need something filed quickly. Yes, this is a tremendous undertaking, but if you have time to study and understand the USPTO filing procedures, this book will help lay out the "floor plan", to assist as you secure your IP. "Is all of this necessary?" You be the judge. Secure your IP today.

The author's offering here is a simple ode to recognize the often unspoken words. The words on these pages carry no advice, judgment, or expectation. They are as they are.

The CirclePoint Method describes a set of ten integrated mechanisms that enable educators to effectively and efficiently prevent and resolve bullying issues in schools. The mechanisms are designed to address bullying problems in ways that result in personal growth for the students involved and to account for what harmed students need in terms of healing and avoiding future bullying. The mechanisms are easy to implement, save educators significant time, and are designed to allow educators to resolve bullying issues while maintaining compliance with district-mandated policies. The unique mechanisms of the Method include: - Constructive Consequences: a direct replacement for punitive discipline, this mechanism is highly effective at stopping bullying with no risk of retaliation by the aggressor and saves administrators significant time by eliminating the need for lengthy investigations and parent meetings- Chain of Custody Awareness: provides an incentive for aggressors to change their behavior and ensures targets feel safe while allowing educators to focus only on the aggression that require monitoring- Classroom Strategies: describes ways that teachers can effect positive change and prevent bullying among their students, improving the learning environment- Education: a comprehensive education on bullying for educators to eliminate myths and misinformation and provide a clear explanation for the drivers of bullying behaviors and the harm caused to targets- Target Support: a five-step framework that all educators can learn for providing support to bullied students to help them heal, reverse the harm caused by the bullying, and empower them to deal more effectively with future aggression- Removal of Barriers to Reporting: concrete steps educators can take to eliminate the reasons why students don't report bullying so administrators will know about the bullying issues in their schoolsWhen applied with fidelity, the mechanisms allow educators to resolve bullying issues quickly and create a safe school environment. The Method results in outcomes that are satisfactory to all involved, including parents. Over time, the mechanisms should transform the school environment to make bullying less accepted by students. Additional related resources educate and empower parents and students, resulting in a whole school community working in partnership to ensure that all students have a positive educational experience.

A journey from illusion into a state of Oneness with God... This book is a powerful yet simple gateway for spiritual light to shine through, which allows the process of remembering who we really are to begin.We are not who we think we are, and we are so much more than we could ever imagine.Depicting an in-depth understanding of a person's spiritual journey from the world of illusion, darkness and false identification, this transmission will guide a soul to the sacred truth that can set them free.PRAISE FOR "AWAKEN TO THAT WHICH WE ARE""As people read the book they will be resurrecting energy that is necessary within themselves to transform."-Cecilia Ampon"Gil offers a way for people to step out of the box of old beliefs, in a gentle and honest way by taking them through his journey. His stories and allegories are painted with the patience of a wise spiritual teacher so a greater picture of understanding can be grasped by the student. And those who are ready, will."-Suzanne Taylor"These amazing revelations make the teachings relatable and possible for everyone."-Helen Delaney"It was like coming home to who I truly am. All the past guilt, sadness, and self-destructive thoughts were freed. Gil's thoughts and words help release the destructive chains of the ego to the beauty of truth."-Polly Campbell"We are living in a time when anyone can write about their spiritual experiences without judgment and persecution. In the past, one could be beheaded for making the claim that we are God. In my past study I've read many accounts of many such claimants who have been persecuted, and I feel what Gil is conveying is very much in alignment with what some of these greatest of Saints have also taught. I appreciate the parables and metaphors he uses and how he leaves the responsibility and choice to the individual as to how and when they pursue their path, while assuring them that if they are ready that every spiritual assistance they could ever need is at their disposal."-Shahiroz"There is no feeling here from Gilbert of pride in his yogic achievements but more the power of sitting quietly before God in a state of surrender and wonder. As a reader, that message is very inspirational and will help [people] to feel that this is a path with an enlightened outcome that is available to them. This is a very strong and impactful message that, put in Gil's simple and accessible wording and brought to life by his stories, makes the spiritual path look accessible and intriguing to potential seekers."-Kathleen McLaughlin

Once a child with such promise, Alice never dreamed that now, in 1969, she'd wind up stuck in Ebonton, a corrupt, culturally backward, former coal town that destroys dreams as brutally as the mantis-like coal breaker looming above her home. For an intelligent, unconventional woman of the shoot-for-the-moon 1960s, it's the worst possible fate. But two decades ago, she'd had no other choice but to pack up her devastating secrets and go on the run.For years, those secrets, intensified by a man bent on destroying her, have pushed Alice to the edge of sobriety-and sanity-and strained her relationship with her teenage son, Jade. Despite her quest to keep him safe, that omnipresent figure from Alice's past threatens to steal her son's future, and the cracks in her resolve are beginning to show.At 18, Jade dreams of escaping a stifling existence, avoiding the Vietnam draft, and finally getting answers from his mother about who he is. Except Alice is slowly losing her mind to whisky-fueled depression and a self-styled spirituality centered around an iconic Catholic statue.When Jade sets out to mine the answers for himself, while Alice plans vengeance against her nemesis, the blowback could cost them both everything.Set against the backdrop of the turbulent 1960s, Alice Was Not Her Name is a riveting tale of mystery, suspense, psychological intrigue, the torments of gender and racial oppression, and a quest to seek redemption against all odds. If today's America seems riven in two, Alice Was Not Her Name is a look back to a time when the seeds of the divide were sown.
