Essential Wordpress Plugins-7

Amplifyd from webdesigndublin.org

Even if you are completely ignorant about html, css, php or any other technical term you may associate with website creation WordPress renders all of this irrelevant. WordPress as a publishing platform allows anyone who can use a keyboard and a “what you see is what you get” editor to create a great website.

WordPress plugins

There is another compelling reason for the popularity of WordPress-Wordpress plugins. Plugins are simply pieces of script that you can install in one click to your website which will make your life even easier again with the promotion of your site.

There are plugins available for virtually every purpose ranging from the creation of contact forms, privacy policies, search engine optimisation, creation of site maps and so on.

Rights of Way in Ireland-Latest Changes to the Law

Amplifyd from businessandlegal.ie

A user as of right means use without interruption without force, without secrecy or without consent of the servient owner. This is important as it means if you are using the land with oral or written consent of the servient owner your claim to a right of way will fail. (See also houses for sale in Ireland and related property law articles)

rights-of-way1

Interruption of use

If use of the land is interrupted for a continuous period of one year will break the relevant user period and prevent the acquisition of the easement. However there is an exception to this in section 37(1) which provides that if the interruption occurs when the servient owner is incapable of managing his affairs because of a mental incapacity the running of the user period is suspended.

 

Note:

  • A servient owner is the owner of land subject to an easement;
  • Servient land is land subject to an easement;
  • Dominant land is the land benefited by an easement.

Community Trade Marks-The Benefits

Amplifyd from businessandlegal.ie

A CTM (Community Trade Mark) is effective across all 27 states of the European Union. However as it has unitary effect, that is recognised in all 27 states, if your trade mark registration application fails in one state then your application for a CTM will fail.

community-trade-mark

Benefit of a Community Trade Mark

The big benefit of the community trade mark procedure is that it allows

  • A single application for all 27 EU states and any new members
  • A single administrative centre
  • One language to be dealt with
  • Very cost effective compared to registering a national trade mark in a number of countries.

Should your application for a CTM fail you do have the option of applying to register in individual states but clearly this will require lawyers or agents in many different countries and other costs such as translation of documents, many administrative centres and files to deal with.

Maintaining your CTM

In order to maintain your community trade mark you will have to use it in at least one member state within 5 years of registration but using it in only one member state will allow you to maintain your CTM across the European community. (See also trade marks in Ireland)

Law Enforcement 10 Codes

Amplifyd from careersinlaw.org

They are a set of numbers, which are used to relay specific information to all members of a rescue team.

law-enforcement-10-codes

These codes are considered to be the brain child of Charles Hopper.  In the mid 1930s, radio communications had to be kept brief. At that time, Charles was the Communication’s Director for the Illinois State Police. He realized that by using codes, messages could be relayed in a concise and quick manner. Training included teaching radio operators to always begin a message with the same syllable. Hopper decided to use the ten as the first part of every message. This was a method of gaining the attention of the recipient and was not an actual part of the message. (Check out law school online and pursuing a career in law)
