Blonde Release Date: Everything About This Biographical Film!
By Aarya On Oct 23, 2022
In this article, we will discuss the topics like, "Blonde Release Date" and everything about this biographical film!
Blonde, a 2022 American biopic, was written and directed by Andrew Dominik. Based on Joyce Carol Oates' 2000 novel of the same name. In the film, Ana de Armas plays Marilyn Monroe. Adrien Brody, Bobby Cannavale, Xavier Samuel, and Julianne Nicholson star.
Black-and-white and varied sizes characterize the film. Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Tracey Landon, Brad Pitt, and Scott Robertson made the picture. After development in 2010, it began production in Los Angeles in August 2019. Production stopped in July 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of who performed the lead roles, how sexually explicit it was, and the fact that it was the first NC-17 movie to be put on a streaming site, the movie attracted a lot of controversy and attention.
The 79th Venice International Film Festival released Blonde on the date September 8, 2022. On September 16, 2022, a few U.S. theatres showed it before Netflix streamed it on September 28. The film received mixed reviews. Dominik's vivid depiction of Monroe's life was labeled exploitative and unethical, although de Armas's acting was lauded.
Gladys raised Norma Jeane Mortenson. Gladys receives a picture of her father on her seventh birthday in 1933. Hollywood Hills burn that night. Gladys takes Norma Jeane there, saying her father lives there, but the police send her home. When Norma Jeane questions her father, Gladys drowns her. Released. Miss Flynn tells Norma Jeane she'll be OK. Several days later, Gladys is hospitalised and Norma Jeane is orphaned.
Marilyn Monroe was Norma Jeane's 1940s pin-up. Calendars and magazines feature her. Mr. Z rapes her. (1951) auditions her for Nell. After crying, the casting director casts her. She begins a polyamorous relationship with Charles "Cass" Chaplin Jr. and Edward G. "Eddy" Robinson Jr. as her acting career expands. 1953 saw Niagara's Norma Jeane. Her agent advised her to minimise her time with Cass and Eddy after seeing them. She was outraged because Marilyn Monroe was a role.
Cass's child is Norma Jeane's joy. Because she believes the child will have mental health difficulties like Gladys, she aborts. Agrees Cass. She changes her mind on meeting day, too late. Also, she leaves Cass and Eddy after the abortion. She meets former baseball player Joe DiMaggio, who understands her ambition to leave Hollywood and become a real actress in New York. While filming Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, her father writes her. At the film's premiere, Norma Jeane seems unfamiliar. She denies. She returns to her hotel room because someone is waiting. Joe was mistaken for Jeane's father. She rejected his marriage proposal.
Cass and Eddy give Joe some nude publicity photos of Norma Jeane. This makes Joe so angry that he hits her and tells her she can't do The Seven Year Itch because it's against her morals. But she still does the famous publicity stunt with the white dress and films the movie.
Joe yells and hits her when she gets home intoxicated. Her divorce follows.
Norma Jeane auditions for Arthur Miller's 1955 Broadway drama Magda. She impresses everyone but Arthur during a run-through.
When she gives him a good character analysis, he starts to like her more. Norma Jeane marries Arthur and moves to Maine with him, where she lives a happy life and gets pregnant. But one day, as she walks along the beach with a plate of food, she trips and drops it. She was upset and went back to acting soon after.
While making Some Like It Hot, Norma Jeane gets even more out of control and crazy. She feels overwhelmed by the constant attention from the press, thinks she's becoming a joke, loses her temper often on set, especially with director Billy Wilder, and pulls away from Arthur. She starts taking pills to help her deal with her stress.
By 1962, she was abusing drugs and alcohol. The president meets drunk Norma Jeane at a motel. The president beats, rapes, and abducts her after she vomits in his bed. She wonders if this is "Marilyn Monroe." Before returning to LA, she dreams of another abortion. Eddy calls to tell her Cass died and left her something. Eddy mails it to her after convincing her to see it.
Cass kept the teddy tiger she found with them. In the box, he confirms writing Norma Jeane's father's letters. Norma Jeane overdoses on barbiturates and dies.
As she is dying, she sees a vision of her father greeting her in the afterlife.

Lyndon Dykes transfer latest: Stoke City interest, Rangers competition, surprise market value
Stoke City transfer news | The Potters have been linked with a summer move for the Livingston striker
Mark WakefieldFootball writer/blogger
TRANSFER LINK
Stoke City are being linked with a move for Livingston striker Lyndon Dykes.
The Scottish Sun reckons Stoke manager Michael O'Neill is interested in the 24 year old goalscorer.
The paper says Dykes has emerged as an alternative to Aberdeen's Sam Cosgrove, a player heavily linked with Stoke.
They say: "With the Dons vowing he (Cosgrove) won't be allowed to leave on the cheap, Aussie-born striker Dykes, who can play for Scotland as well as the Socceroos, presents a better value alternative."
The paper says Dykes is under contract for another two years but would still be a cheaper option than Cosgrove.
FRESH COMPETITION
Stoke City could face major competition if they pursue an interest in Livingston striker Lyndon Dykes.
Reports north of the border suggest Stoke are considering 24 year old Dykes who has scored 12 goals for the Scottish Premiership club in 33 games this season.
However, the Daily Mail reports that Glasgow giants Rangers are also keen on the 6ft 2in goalscorer.
The striker was born and grew up in Australia before moving to Scotland in 2016 to join Queen of the South. He joined Livingston in January 2019, but was loaned back to the Scottish Championship club for the rest of the season.
But what more do we know about the latets player linked with a move to the bet365 Stadium?
Name: Lyndon Dykes
Position: Striker
Nationality: Australia/Scotland
Clubs: The striker was born and grew up in Australia before moving to Scotland in 2016 to join Queen of the South. He joined Livingston in January 2019, but was loaned back to the Scottish Championship club for the rest of the season.
By the numbers: Dykes has played a total of 169 first-team games across his career for Queens of the South and Livingston, respectively.
During his time with Queen of the South, Dykes netted 23 goals in 136 appearances, which saw him earn a move to Livingston in 2019.
Since the transfer, Dykes has bagged 12 goals and registered 10 assists for his team mates in 33 appearances in all competitions.
So what is the current market value of the Dykes, and would Stoke be getting their moneys worth if they were to sign him?
According to Transfermarkt, Dykes is currently valued at just £428,000, which is significantly lower than the players currently at the bet365 Stadium.
Sam Vokes is valued at £2.16m, while youngster Tyrese Campbell is slightly higher with a £2.88m valuation.
Dykes' highest valuation was £540k, which was recorded in February, but that has since decreased by more than £100k, likely due to the recent suspension caused by the coronavirus.
Transfermarkt decreased the market value of all players following the suspension, with some players receiving a 20 per cent drop, while others had a 10 per cent decrease.

No Moose is Good Moose
Firefighters in Alaska got an unusual request for assistance one weekend from the Alaska Wildlife Troopers, but it wasn't your mundane cat-stuck-in-a-tree situation.
"They were looking for some help getting a moose out of a basement," said Capt. Josh Thompson with Central Emergency Services on the Kenai Peninsula. "I'm not kidding."
The moose, estimated to be a 1-year-old bull, had a misstep while eating breakfast one Sunday morning by a home in Soldotna, about 150 miles (240 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage.
"It looks like the moose had been trying to eat some vegetation by the window well of a basement window and fell into it, and then fell into the basement through the glass," Thompson said. That's where it was stuck, one floor below ground.
A biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game was able to tranquilize the moose, but the animal wasn't completely unconscious.
"He was still looking around and sitting there, dazed and confused — he just wasn't running around," Thompson said.
Once sedated, the next problem was getting the moose — which weighed at least 500 pounds — out of the house. Improvising a bit, responders grabbed a big transport tarp that's typically used as a stretcher for larger human patients. Once the moose was in position, it took six men to carry him through the house and back outside.
Photos of the morning rescue show the moose unfazed, simply looking ahead between the two men maneuvering the front of the tarp down a hallway, watching where they are going.
Thompson said the moose just hung out for a while after they got outside until a reversal agent for the tranquilizer kicked in. The biologist also treated minor lacerations on the back of the moose's legs from falling through the window, the Anchorage Daily News reported.
Once the sedative wore off, the moose apparently had his fill of human companionship and wanted to get back to the wild.
"He got up and took off," Thompson said.

House Of Fraser Plc Business Information, Profile, and History
1 Howick Place
London SW1P 1BH
We have laid the foundations for sustained long-term growth--through our programme of refurbishments, our plans for new stores, our continuing focus on international designer brands, and our ever-greater understanding of customers' needs.
History of House Of Fraser Plc
House of Fraser PLC bills itself as the United Kingdom's leading retailer of designer brands--the department store chain boasts nearly 2,000 of them, including a number of popular in-house brands featuring the company's own designs. House of Fraser operates 52 department stores throughout the United Kingdom under a variety of signages, including 15 House of Fraser and six Rackhams stores, but also including Army & Navy Stores, Arnotts, Barkers of Kensington, Binns, Cavendish House of Cheltenham, Dickins & Jones, Dingles, DH Evans, David Evans, Frasers, Hammonds, Howells, Jollys, Kendals, and Schofields. Many of these store names operate as a strictly local or regional business, and often represent a single store. Yet the company's past attempts at rebranding its stores under a common name has usually met with strong local resistance. House of Fraser's average store size stands at around 100,000 square feet, although its largest stores reach more than 300,000 square feet. The company sells a full range of home furnishings in most of its stores (its smaller stores have fewer departments), including furniture, appliances, housewares, and linens, but clothing--and especially women's clothing--makes up the bulk of its sales. The company has performed a turnaround in the new millennium, reorienting its image as an up-market, fashion house; the company also has been pursuing an ambitious refurbishing program as it revamps many of its aging stores. Meanwhile, House of Fraser has embarked on a new expansion drive at the beginning of the century, calling for the addition of five new stores by 2003--and acknowledging its interest in acquiring some of its smaller competitors.
Founding a Department Store Empire in the 19th Century
The House of Fraser started out as a small draper's shop in Glasgow, Scotland. In 1849, Hugh Fraser, who had completed his draper's apprenticeship, joined with partner James Arthur to open their own store, called Arthur & Fraser, in Glasgow's Buchanan Street. After Fraser died, his sons took over the business, changing the store's name to Fraser, Sons & Co. in 1873. Over the decades, the store began adding more items, then new departments, eventually becoming a full-fledged department store.
The future Lord Hugh Fraser, representing a new generation of Frasers, was born in 1903 and left school to join the family business. In 1941, Hugh Fraser was named chairman and managing director, which at the time still consisted of the single Buchanan Street store. Yet under its new chairman, the store--and the company--was to undergo substantial growth, and by the early 1960s was to become the preeminent department store group in the United Kingdom.
Fraser began adding new stores in the years following the war, and by 1948, the year the company went public, Fraser had already built up a chain of 15 stores. The following decade was to see still stronger growth, primarily through acquisitions.
In 1953, Fraser acquired the Binns chain of stores, a company that had started out with a single shop in Wearmouth in 1836. The Binns acquisition proved merely a prelude to a larger acquisition. In 1959, the House of Fraser, as the company had come to be called, acquired the Harrods department store chain. Harrods, like Fraser, had been founded in 1849. Originally a grocery centered in Knightsbridge--which at the time was located outside of the city of London--Harrods was to grow into the United Kingdom's most prestigious department store, with departments stretching out across more than 20 acres. Founder Henry Charles Harrod sold the business to his son, Charles Digby Harrod, in 1861, who sold the business to an investment group, which changed the store's status to that of limited liability company.
Harrods began expanding beyond its single store, acquiring other store chains, such as Dickins & Jones in 1814. That store had been established in 1790 on London's Oxford Street before moving to its Regent Street location in 1835. Harrods later went on to take over Rackhams, founded as a drapery shop in Birmingham in 1851 before expanding to become a small, regional chain of department stores. Another addition to the Harrods empire was the DH Evans stores, which had been founded in 1879 and which opened a London store in 1932.
The addition of Harrods transformed Fraser into a major force in British retailing. Although the company's department store chain now stretched out across most of the United Kingdom, the company's Harrods store remained what Lord Fraser called its "jewel in the crown." The House of Fraser grew as the British economy recovered from the devastation of World War II and entered a new phase of prosperity, with higher living standards, greater leisure time, and technological advancements stimulating a new spirit of consumerism. Meanwhile, Lord Fraser himself had expanded his personal interests, developing an empire of holdings that made him the most successful businessman in Scotland at the time. Fraser placed his holdings under the Scottish Universal Investments (SUITS) group, which also took a 30 percent stake in the House of Fraser department store chain.
Lord Fraser had been joined by his son, Hugh Fraser (later Sir Hugh Fraser), who had started with the business as a floor assistant at the age of 16 before taking over after his father's retirement in 1966. The company continued to expand, adding the Army & Navy store chain, which had originally been founded as a military cooperative in 1871 but opened to the general public in 1918 (due to the drastic drop in its membership following World War I). Other purchases followed, including the Cavendish House department store in Cheltenham and the Dingles stores.
Yet Sir Hugh Fraser took over the House of Fraser at a time when the British consumer was beginning to abandon the country's large-scale and often stuffy department stores in favor of smaller, trendier shops. The House of Fraser's' large stores and failing sales led to too much sales space and too large a stock burden. The collapse of the economic boom in the mid-1970s, the result of the Arab Oil Embargo of 1973, hit the company all the harder. The company continued to make acquisitions during the 1970s, building its chain to more than 90 stores; yet by the end of the decade, the chain had lost much of its luster.
Jewel in Whose Crown in the 1980s
Meanwhile, Sir Hugh Fraser's personal fortune was declining rapidly as a result of mounting gambling debts. During the 1970s, Fraser began selling off shares in SUITS. When the stock market learned of Fraser's actions, Fraser went ahead and sold off the rest of SUITS to then friend Roland "Tiny" Rowland, a German citizen born in India, who was behind the South African Lonrho conglomerate, but who remained a controversial figure in the British business community. Sir Fraser, who received £7 million from the sale, had agreed to the sale in part because he believed Rowland's promise that the purchase was to remain a simple investment.
Yet Rowland's real interest was quickly revealed to be the House of Fraser, specifically its Harrods department store. Fraser, who was ultimately dropped from the House of Fraser's board of directors, joined his company in resisting the South African raider. Rowland in turn launched what was described as a "guerilla war" against the company. Ultimately, however, Rowland was thwarted when the British Mergers and Monopolies commission blocked his attempt to gain full control of the House of Fraser.
In 1984, Rowland "parked" his 30 percent of House of Fraser with Egypt's Fayed brothers--or so he thought. In 1985, the Fayeds turned their back on Rowland and reached an agreement with the House of Fraser to acquire the rest of the company's shares. For this, the Fayeds paid £600 million. Rowland counterattacked, convincing friends in the British government to launch an investigation into the Fayeds (the investigation, the results of which were never published but later leaked, asserted that the Fayeds had misrepresented their wealth at the time of the House of Fraser purchase). Yet the sale stood and House of Fraser was taken off the public market.
Led by Mohamed Al Fayed (whose son Dodi was killed in the auto accident that also killed Princess Diana in 1997), House of Fraser began trimming its empire in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In 1988, the company sold off ten of its smaller department stores to the Sellar Morris Properties group for £6.5 million. Another group of medium-sized stores was sold off in 1989 in a £6 million management buyout. Not all of the company's actions during the period went toward trimming its ranks--the company acquired Schofields department store for £6.5 million at the end of 1988--yet the company, under Fayed's ownership, emerged as a trimmed down, modestly sized and, to many, rather dowdy department store group. By 1994, the company's chain of department stores had dwindled to only half its size in the 1980s. House of Fraser was lagging behind such competitors as Selfridges, Debenhams, and John Lewis in its sales-per-square-foot.
Pressed for cash, the Fayeds prepared to sell off House of Fraser in the early 1990s, keeping only the Harrods store as part of a growing collection of landmark London stores and hotels. A new managing director, Andrew Jennings, was appointed to lead the store group. Jennings conducted a review of the company's operations and then set out to revamp its image. Among the changes made were the abandonment of a number of departments, such as haberdashery, fabrics, and knitting, and a re-centering of the company's focus on fashion. The company also restructured its stores, separating them into three groups according to size in order to refocus its product offering. House of Fraser also began renovating a number of its stores, including the Frasers store in Glasgow, the Howells store in Cardiff, and the Dickins & Jones store in London, slated to become the company's new flagship store.
Rebirth of a Department Store Leader for the 21st Century
House of Fraser returned to the London stock exchange in 1994 and quickly ran into new economic troubles, seeing its profits slump into the mid-decade. In 1996, the company brought in a new chief executive, John Coleman, who promptly launched a new strategic review of the company. The result of that review called for a £50 million restructuring program, including the shutting down of a number of stores. The first three of these, including an Army & Navy store, a Binns department store, and the House of Fraser store in Sheffield, were closed in 1997, reducing the number of the company's stores to just 50.
House of Fraser now sought to restore its traditionally upmarket image and become recognized as a center for high-end designer fashions. Coupled with its new strategy, which saw the introduction of a vast range of designer labels, House of Fraser launched its own in-house brand featuring the company's own designs. Called Linea, the new label outperformed the company's expectations and helped to drive the company's growth through the end of the decade. The Linea range not only helped to increase the company's sales, quickly reaching more than 10 percent of the company's total fashion sales, but also gave it higher margins than its range of internationally known brand names. That label's success led the company to introduce two new in-house brands, Fraser and Platinum, in 1999.
By 1998, House of Fraser once again appeared to be in a strong position to grow. The company now began targeting fresh expansion through the addition of new stores. A first store was added in Northampton in 1997, while three more were slated to open by 1999. By the beginning of 1998, the company announced its intention to add 30 more stores in an expansion program that was estimated to reach a final cost of more than £300 million. Yet the company's expansion plans were hampered by a lack of financial muscle.
House of Fraser solved this problem in part by setting up a joint venture with British Land, called BL Fraser, which then purchased 15 of House of Fraser's store freeholds, which were then leased back to the department store group. The deal raised £171 million for House of Fraser and whet its appetite for a more aggressive growth strategy.
At the end of 1999, the company revealed that it had been carrying out secret talks to acquire smaller rival Allders, a group with 21 stores. The two sides could not agree on a price, however, and the deal fell through. Instead, House of Fraser pushed ahead with its new store openings, including a £20 million store to anchor the new Bluewater shopping mall near the "Chunnel" and sites in Sulliwell and Reading. In 2000, the company started the construction of a new store in London, to open on King William Street and to feature some 55,000 square feet of selling space. In that year, also, the company extended its Linea line of clothing fashions to include home furnishings, under the Linea Home name. The company launched the House of Fraser line of women's clothing, and a range of men's clothing, called The Collection. In addition, in 2000 House of Fraser discovered "Customer Relationship Management" and began to put into place a new program, including the rollout of a so-called "loyalty card" to attract and retain shoppers.
In September 2000, the company bought a store in Bristol from the Bentalls chain, paying £15.6 million. At the same time, House of Fraser announced plans to open three new stores in London, Norwich, and in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. The new stores were expected to open by 2004. By the beginning of 2001, however, the company already had added two new store sites to its list, at Croydon and Maidstone, and other negotiations were underway to develop three to four new store sites.
Despite the company's new commitment to organic growth--and despite its failure to acquire Allders--it had not ruled out other acquisitions. As Chief Executive John Coleman told the Guardian in March 2001: "Consolidation would still be a good thing. We are about as small as you can be [to operate efficiently] and there are lots of smaller players out there who cannot afford the investment in a systems and supply chain that we've put in over the last five years. There would be significant costs you could take out. We could support another 20 or 30 stores."
As it ended 2001, House of Fraser continued to book strong sales growth and expected to top easily the £847 million it had recorded in 2000. The company also continued its program of revamping its existing store park. In September the company unveiled a £30 million renovation of its flagship Rackhams store in Birmingham, which was to increase that store's selling space to more than 300,000 square feet and help it better to meet the coming competition with the redevelopment of the city's Bull Ring commercial district. In the years since its second public listing the company had succeeded in whipping itself back into fighting shape and planned to earn its self-proclaimed title as the United Kingdom's leading retailer of designer brands.

Related information about House
Such dwellings generally feature enclosing walls, a roof and one or more floors. This overall structure provides shelter against precipitation, wind, heat, cold and intruders. The word "house" may also apply to a building provided to shelter animals, especially within a zoo.
The house often provides a permanent residence for a family or for a similar social unit. People may leave their house most of the day for work and recreation, but typically return 'home", to their house, at least for sleeping.
A house generally has at least one entrance, usually in the form of a door or a portal - but some early houses, such as those at テ㌢talhテカyテシk, used roofs and ladders for access. and to refer to commercial premises: "printing house", "house advantage" in a casino, "house wine" in a restaurant or "house lights" over the audience in a theatre.
Humans have long treated and named favoured shrines or temples as a "house of God", and religious buildings have inherited the role as a "house of prayer".
Types of house
See: List of house types.
The developed world in general features three basic house types:
Single-family homes - detached and often standing on their own parcel of land
Semi-detached houses - attached to one or more houses
Terraced house (UK) or row house (USA) - attached to other houses, possibly in a row (separated by a party wall)
In the United Kingdom, 27% of the population lived in terraced houses and 32% in semi-detached houses, as of 2002. In the United States in 2000, 61.4% of people lived in detached houses and 5.6% in semi-detached houses, the rest in row-houses or apartments, except for 7% living in mobile homes.
People build "face houses" in one or more faces; though they occur most commonly as a fort or playhouse for children, this design sometimes serves as a house for adults.
Archaeologists have a particular interest in house shape: they see the transition over time from round huts to rectangular houses as a significant advance in optimising the use of space, and associate it with the growth of the idea of a personal area. When a house becomes a display-case for wealth and/or fashion and/or conspicuous consumption, we may speak of a "great house". The house of a monarch may come to house courtiers and officers as well as the royal family: this sort of house may become a palace. And in time the lord or monarch may wish to retreat to a more personal or simple space such as a villa, a hunting lodge or a dacha. Compare the popularity of the holiday house or cottage, also known as a crib.
In contrast to a relatively upper-class or modern trend to multiple houses, much of human history shows the importance of multi-purpose houses. Thus the house long served as the traditional place of work (the original cottage industry site or "in-house" small-scale manufacturing workshop) or of commerce (featuring, for example, a ground-floor "ship-front" shop or counter or office, with living-space above). In the West, with ready access to plumbing and a fairly high standard of living, each house will at least contain a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen (or kitchen area), and a living room. A typical "foursquare house" (as pictured) occurred commonly in the early history of the United States of America, with a staircase in the centre of the house, surrounded by four rooms, and connected to other sections of the house (including in more recent eras a garage).
Other parts of a house may include:
basement / cellar
hearth - often an important symbolic focus of family togetherness
recreation room / rumpus room
shrines to serve the religious functions associated with a family
See also: room.
Ideally, architects and/or builders of houses design rooms to meet the needs of the people who will live in the house. Compare the real-estate sales concept of "indoor-outdoor flow".
The square footage of a house in the United States reports the area of "living space", excluding the garage and other non-living spaces.
Modern house-construction techniques include light-frame construction (in areas with access to supplies of wood) and adobe or sometimes rammed-earth construction (in arid regions with scarce wood-resources). For example, a large fraction of American houses use wood, while most British and many European houses utilise stone or brick.
Some home designers have begun to collaborate with structural engineers who use computers and finite element analysis to design prefabricated steel-framed homes with known resistance to high wind-loads and seismic forces. They include:
Cannabrick construction
cordwood construction
straw-bale construction
Identifying houses
With the growth of dense settlement, humans designed ways of identifying houses and/or parcels of land. Familiar animal houses built by humans include bird houses, hen houses, and doghouses (kennels), while housed agricultural animals more often live in barns.
Forms of simple shelter include:
Tent (see also camp)
yaodong
Compare houseboat.
Houses and symbolism
Houses may express the circumstances or opinions of their builders or their inhabitants.
Houses of particular historical significance (former residences of the famous, for example, or even just very old houses) may gain a protected status in town planning as examples of built heritage and/or of streetscape values. Plaques may mark such structures.
A particularly apt example of a ?pataphysical variation on the house is Peter Olshavsky?s
House for the Dance of Death (www.mcgill.ca/files/architecture-theory/olshavsky.pdf)
The house occurs as an exceedingly rare charge in heraldry.

Q: Storing login token in react and typescript I have a typescript React app and I have a singleton DataStore.ts class that allows my React app to connect to my REST backend. The DataStore class handles everything having to do with the backend: login, logout, getting/setting/updating data etc. It uses MOBX for global state storage, ie any server data that I need to store is just assigned to @observable member variables in my DataStore class. When I login, my backend provides a token for subsequent API calls, and I store that token in the DataStore instance.
What problems are caused by just storing the token as a member variable in my DataStore object. It seems most people store the token in sessionStorage, but I'm not quite sure why this is better than storing it the way I'm storing it. Does my DataStore instance go away if someone refreshes the browser tab? Please explain.

The name Tripura has originated from "Tripura Sundari" - the presiding deity of the land which is famous as one of the 51 pethos of Hindu Pilgrims. Apart from this traditional view, it is also believed that originally the land was known as "Tuipra" meaning a land adjoining the water. It is a fact that in days of yore the boundaries of Tripura was extended up to the Bay of Bengal when its rulers held sway from Garo hills to Arakan. Tripura is the second smallest state in India. It was formally declared as Union Territory on November 1st, 1957 and was elevated to the status of a full-fledged state on January 21,1972. It is bounded on the north, west, south and south-east by Bangladesh whereas in the east it has a common boundary with Assam and Mizoram. It spans an area of about 10,492 km² and its population is over 3,191,168. The state capital is Agartala and the main languages spoken are Bengali and Kokborok. The cross-cultural ethnic diversity, ancient temples, vast tracts of natural beauty and rich tradition of handicrafts make Tripura represent rich cultural heritage of India.


You don't have to journey far from the dynamic city center for a serene desert escape.
Most luxury resorts in the emirate of Abu Dhabi are buried deep in the sandy Empty Quarter or in the region's remote outer islands, far from the heart of the the lively city. But the capital of the United Arab Emirates is becoming a destination in its own right thanks to its energetic art scene, classic cuisine, and proximity to nature.
The new 103-room Jumeirah Al Wathba (doubles from $299) will let you have the best of both city life and Arabian desert relaxation. Opening in October, the property offers traditional earthen villas, an offsite desert camp, and dune backdrops just a 30-minute drive from metropolitan Abu Dhabi.
Those traveling in the cooler high season can add on a few days at sister property Jumeirah Saadiyat Island (doubles from $407), opening in November on a secluded stretch of private white sand beach. It will be even closer to the city sites, with a full-service hammam, eight private villas, and uninterrupted views of the Gulf.
When you're ready to venture into town, start with an art tour. The Jean Nouvel-designed Louvre Abu Dhabi is the latest high-profile addition to this burgeoning cultural capital, but no visit would be complete without a tour of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre, a white marble behemoth that houses the largest hand-knotted carpet in the world. Head to the indie Warehouse 421 for rotating exhibitions and crafts classes or the Etihad Modern Art Gallery, which promotes up-and-coming UAE-based artists.
The industrial neighborhood around Mina Zayed port, where a fleet of traditional trading dhows still dock between trips to South Asia, is home to the city's best markets. Wake up early to visit the fish market when the boats come in; sidewalk vendors will grill up fresh catch like hammour, or Arabian grouper, on demand. Visit the carpet souk for rugs and majlis sets, or wander the plant souk and its alleys full of tropical flowers and terra cotta. The city's many outdoor offerings are a must for visitors in the cooler months.
If you're traveling between November and February, when the weather is cooler, get outside. Stroll along the waterfront Corniche, or visit Mangrove National Park, where kayaking tours of city's inner channel islands show off the biodiversity of this dense ecosystem; you'll spot herons, flamingoes, and even the occasional dolphin. For an evening walk, wander the date palm-lined paths of the city's new central green space, Umm Al Emarat Park.
After a day of exploring, you'll find that traditional Emirati foods — like lgeimat, the syrupy cardamom doughnuts — at Al Mrzab (entrées $12 - $35) hit the spot. The restaurant also has an extensive repertoire of Kuwaiti dishes such as murabyan, a shrimp and rice dish seasoned with turmeric and dried lime. At casual Jordanian-Lebanese cafeteria Bait el Khetyar (entrées $3 - $10), follow the regulars' lead and order the moutabbel, a smoky eggplant dip, with puffy, freshly-made pita bread. Other favorites like busy Ethiopian spot Bonna Annee (entrées $7 - $18) or the humbly delicious Russian Kitchen House Cafeteria (entrées $3 - $9) also provide a taste of the city's diverse immigrant populations.


As they say, "and a wake-up."
I drove down from Maxwell AFB, AL to Hurlburt Field, FL that same day. My first salute as an officer was actually from the Hurlburt gate guard.
Um, yeah, so this is where I finally ended up, after leaving my apartment in Boston on July 24th. That's 107 days, and over 8,300 miles! I guess that, technically, I was a nomad for nearly four months when you consider that I had no permanent address while at OTS. Imagine trying to pack everything into a 14 cu. ft. trunk and back seat that you thought you might need somewhere in the U.S. in the next 4 months.
And now for the next adventure!
Look out future, here I come.

St Mary In The Castle in Hastings may not have quite the intimacy of the Tabernacle's basement but with low lighting and candles on the tables the atmosphere was certainly conducive to an evening of Samba, Choro and Bossa Nova.
Marcio da Silva delights in challenging us, and we were soon immersed in the gentle melancholy of Tom Jobin's Corcovado, which at least seemed familiar, before plunging into the wider repertoire with its emotionally expressive immediacy.
Historically the Choro – which literally means Crying - gave birth to the Samba and at the end of the last century to the Bossa Nova.
We heard five examples of early Choro, including Brejeiro by Ernesto Nazare which was remarkably upbeat with its clarinet solo and drum accompaniment from Marcio himself.
The One Note Samba by Tom Jobim may have been familiar to all but Chico Buarque's Samba de Orly was equally pleasing. Jobim's Desafinado brought us a moving Bossa Nova and the evening was rounded of by a laid-back rendition of The Girl from Ipanema.
Marcio was joined on the platform by guitarist Ariel Gragnani, clarinettist Boyan Ivanov, percussionist Emmanuel McDonald and Owen Nicolau on bass – many of whom are familiar performers with Hastings Philharmonic.
Marcio sang all of the songs himself and attuned his normally operatic voice to the restrained, at times almost husky tones, which felt perfectly suited to the clubs for which these songs were written and the potential political message they hold beneath the more romantic surface.
The solo instrumental pieces allowed the individual players to show their sensitivity to the compositions, and also a genuine sense of enjoyment, which spilt over into the audience. Nobody got up to dance but I would not have been surprised if they had. Maybe next time? By Brian Hick.

Home News Movie News EXCLUSIVE: 'Captain Marvel/Layer Cake' Cinematographer Ben Davis Confirmed For Matthew Vaughn's 'Kingsman:...
EXCLUSIVE: 'Captain Marvel/Layer Cake' Cinematographer Ben Davis Confirmed For Matthew Vaughn's 'Kingsman: The Great Game'
It's expected that 20th Century Fox will be moving forward with Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman prequel Kingsman: The Great Game as production is expected to begin soon in the various locales in the United Kingdom as we have a key crew update to share.
HN Entertainment can exclusively reveal that cinematographer Ben Davis will be reuniting with director Matthew Vaughn for Kingsman: The Great Game. Ben Davis' credits include Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, Guardians of The Galaxy, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Dumbo, and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri.
Davis has previously worked with Matthew Vaughn on the films Layer Cake, Stardust, and Kick-Ass.
This would mean that Geroge Richmond, who shot Kingsman: The Secret Service and Kingsman: The Golden Circle won't be back for this specific installment, likely due to the production of Dexter Fletcher's Elton John film Rocketman. It's possible he could make a return for Kingsman 3.
The cast of Kingsman: The Great Game is reportedly set to include Ralph Fiennes and Harris Dickinson as the main leads. According to Collider, actors such as Daniel Bruhl, Charles Dance, and Rhys Ifans are also joining the film as well.
The Great Game is expected to explore the origins of the Kingsman during the era of The Great War aka WWI.
Kingsman 3 is still expected to happen but The Great Game goes into production first.
20th Century Fox has seemingly set the film's release date for November 8th, but it'll be interesting to see if Kingsman: The Great Game will be completed by then.

What Colors Are Bottlenose Dolphins?
By Naomi Millburn
i Medioimages/Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
Bottlenose dolphins are sturdy genus Tursiops marine mammals that are made up of three separate species. These species are the common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) and the Burrunan dolphin (Tursiops australis), the last which only came to light as a species in autumn 2011. The "bottlenose" part of their name is a tribute to their stumpy beaks.
Common Bottlenose Dolphin Coloration
Common bottlenose dolphins' physiques tend to be pale gray, deep gray, greenish-gray or black on the edges. Their contrasting stomach areas, however, are white. Their undersides often are slightly pink-tinged, as well. Aging specimens occasionally feature darker blotting on the edges and lower portions of their bodies.
Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin Coloration
Color-wise, Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins share a lot with their common bottlenose kin. The upper sides of their bodies are either deep gray or grayish-blue. Their limbs deepen in color when compared to the rest of their forms. Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins have grayish-white or yellowish-white stomachs with pink undertones. Also like common bottlenose dolphins, they frequently have dark speckling on their lower portions, but this usually depends on where they live and their specific stage in life.
Burrunan Dolphin Coloration
Burrunan dolphins are a new concept in the bottlenose dolphin world, although the notion of different types of dolphins in some Australian waters existed previously. They, like common bottlenose and Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins, have several different colors on their bodies. The multi-colored elements of Burrunan dolphins' bodies are white, medium gray and deep gray.
Countershading
The memorable color styling of bottlenose dolphins, as with numerous fellow cetaceans, is known as "countershading." Countershading serves handy camouflage purposes. The upper portions of bottlenose dolphins' bodies are darker, while the lower portions are markedly paler. Animals that look up to swimming bottlenose dolphins perceive their pale stomachs as intermixing with the lightness of the sky, while animals that look at them from higher perspectives may confuse their bodies with the rest of the deep blue aquatic scenery. This type of coloration assists in keeping bottlenose dolphins inconspicuous -- both to dangerous predator threats and the prey animals they target for their meals.
Countershading camouflage is in no way exclusive to the cetacean world, however. Not only do various types of fish have countershading, some varieties of birds do, as well.

Prospect Park to Host Experimental Opera For and About Trees
Kamala Sankaram's first public artwork, which is centered on trees, is called The Last Stand and will be installed in the park in September
by Anna Bradley-Smith August 12, 2021 August 23, 2021

An experimental opera for and about trees is coming to Prospect Park next month, offering audiences a chance to reflect on the life of trees and their own responsibilities towards them.
The Last Stand is a public sound installation from artist Kamala Sankaram, who said the project stemmed from the urgent need to address climate change and our roles in it.
"In the wake of this year's catastrophic heat, storms and floods, the immediacy of the climate emergency has only become clearer," she said.
"We can no longer hold ourselves separate from the world around us. Rather, to stave off the most devastating effects of climate change, we must recognize the interconnectedness of humankind with our delicate world and all the living beings that inhabit it."
She said it was her hope that by allowing people to try and step inside the perspective of a tree, "to experience its different intelligence and sense of time, we can rekindle this sense of connection."
Sankaram translates scientific literature, tree communication and historic environmental sounds into subsonic vibrations for multiple registers of tree and human sensation.
The narrative is accessed by the trees themselves through the ground, as well by humans, including deaf and hard of hearing visitors, through vibrational benches.
The Last Stand is inspired by Dr. Suzanne Simard's groundbreaking discoveries that trees communicate and share resources with each other and a vast array of forest life through complex underground fungal networks.
Sankaram's project was chosen from over 400 applications to Creative Time's 2021 Emerging Artist Open Call, which offers the opportunity for an artist to create their first major public artwork.
Located in the heart of Prospect Park, The Last Stand chronicles the lifespan of a 300 year old Northern Red Oak — the "Mother Tree" — from the years 1750 to 2050. The soundscape tells the story of the Mother Tree in Black Rock Forest, a nearly 4,000-acre diverse ecosystem in upstate New York with tree species tracing back 14,000 years.
Sankaram created field recordings of the environment to develop sounds for the installation, which will be experienced through rhythms, looped sounds, and the physical vibrations they generate, Creative Time explained in a press release.
Over the course of 10 hours, the opera spans the Mother Tree's life from acorn to its "last stand," the final burst of life-giving energy a tree gives to its vast forest life network before it dies.
Trees and visitors will experience sounds native to the natural environment, including animal and tree canopy noises, as well as sounds that mimic moments of life-altering tragedy, including invasions from non-native insects to human-induced threats such as excess rain, logging, and fire.
Lastly, the audience will be taken into the future with sounds that hint at the catastrophic effects of climate change, calling attention to the symbiotic and sometimes negative relationships within ecosystems.
Creative Time Executive Director Justine Ludwig said Sankaram's project drew from the work of groundbreaking thinkers from diverse fields and centered on the knowledge that can be gleaned from different species while dealing with the realities of the climate crisis.
The Last Stand will be on view from September 18 through October 10.

Things We've Noticed:🤔 Bringing Attention to the Many Different Virtues of the Feint.
By Tré Berry III🖋
One of the least talked about tactics in boxing on a grand scale outside of gyms is the use of the feint. The feint is one of the greatest tactics to use in freezing your opponent and putting them in a reactive stage, which makes them second guess their actions, also slowing down their reaction time by doing so…
It also forces your opponent to tense up, which is instrumental in sapping their overall stamina which shows big up time in the long haul of a contest. It also puts them in a compromising situation where their hands are tied in making a decision on whether to react to the feint, or stand their ground, with the boxer utilizing this tactic holding you at his mercy. If you don't react, they can either let the shots fly, or collect that data to use against you later, and if you do react, you force your opponent to do what it is that you want him to do, and at your desired pace and tempo.
While not used as much on a broad scope as it was used in earlier decades, it is still a very useful tool utilized by many at the top of the ranks today. The best at using various styles of feints is 🥇🥇🇺🇦Vasiliy Lomachenko.
There are seemingly endless components pieced together that make him the fighter he is, and the use of the feint is one of his more relied upon techniques that have frozen his opponents, and sapped them not just of their physical strength, but of their mental strength as well, as it takes a toll on both. He tends to use all of the variations spoken of above within his active aggression. There are often times where he'll halfway fire a punch not intended to land, way up and out so that he can change your eye level before he works a combination on the opposite side to the body and to the head. He also has the propensity to use his lead right hand in a fencing motion to hypnotize you, purposely keeping you on your back foot and forcing you to move with the motion of the lead hand so that he could set something up off of it.
Lomachenko typically uses his multitude of feints in the beginning of fights to get a gauge on what you were conditioned to do, how you move, what your escape routes are, how you pivot with your foot movement, and whether you are aware enough to react to the feints. From there he can form a snapshot picture in about a round or a round and a half where he ramps it up a couple of levels and begins to fit the pieces in to the puzzle that he has already secretly solved in his head.
Once he gets to that stage, that's where the level of mastery pours out with his shifty footwork, combination punching and punching angles come into full play. When all of those components are bridged together and operating at full bloom, combined with the constant use of the feints, it mentally exhausts and discourages his opponents who already by this point feel over-matched in the skill, boxing IQ, and athletic departments, which is why we've seen 6 opponents thus far in his 14 professional fights find ways to check out of their fights halfway through the action.
Another fighter today who is very proficient in using this technique is 🇬🇧Tyson Fury, which is very instrumental to his overall attack, bridging together constant feints and head movement in helping establish his jab, and ring generalship.
Other masters from previous time periods who perfected the use of the feint also are fighters such as 🥇🇺🇸Muhammad Ali, 🥇🇺🇸Sugar Ray Leonard, 🥇🇺🇸Joe Frazier, 🥉🇺🇸Floyd Mayweather Jr. and 🇵🇦Roberto Duran.
The beauty of this trait is that there are more than a double digit amount of ways to use it to set your opponent up. Ali was great at feinting with the jab to keep you worried about what's to follow next, and freezing his opponents footwork to force them to reset while he backpedaled and circled around on the outside, and using his rangy 1-2 upstairs to take advantage of his opponent who was almost always seemingly out of position due to his feints.
Ray Leonard was very much the same, though with added variety. While he utilized what Ali did, Ray would also feint the jab to the body often, then followed with the jab upstairs, feinting at all different angles to confuse his opponent, then using his speed to land multiple combinations on a momentary stationary target. Joe Frazier out of this bunch was the most unique in utilizing his feints to set up and bait boxers, constantly bobbing and weaving at a feverish pace, which already had opponents weary of what he wanted to spring up with, but also mixing in feints with both hands while doing so, then acting accordingly to how they reacted and landing the thunder.
Mayweather and Duran were master counter-punchers, who used it in different ways, and what they were able to do is find ways to use the feints to get their opponents to commit, then show them a perceived opening that isn't available to be exploited, baiting the opponent to try and counter them, but instead getting countered over their counter-punch, and winning the chess game by bridging those 2 different components together, mastering the cat and mouse approach.
Floyd in particular was great at keeping his right foot to the outside of his opponent, and feinting with the right cross, forcing the opposing fighter into one direction, then firing the lead left hook off of it, and did so repeatedly at a high success rate.
The feint should be one of the 4 most important pillars to teach in all gyms (along with footwork, the jab, and head movement), and it can make a boxers job a lot easier if utilized correctly. Using it throughout the course of a fight also keeps you alert both offensively and defensively, so naturally it should be a technique embedded into your arsenal.

The word 'omnibus' derives from the Latin 'omnis', meaning 'all'. More particularly, the Latin 'omnibus' is the plural dative or ablative case of the noun (grammar nerds are getting excited right now), and may therefore be translated as 'to, for, by, with or from everybody or everything'. Appropriately, therefore, omnibus is the origin of the same English word referring to a collected edition of multiple works, such as novels. And our modern word 'bus', describing a form of mass transit, is itself a contraction of the word 'omnibus', which was used back in the days when such things were still drawn by horses.
To put it bluntly, then, 'omnibus' is an old-fashioned word for a variety of old-fashioned things.
One of those things is a type of patent claim, intended to cover all forms of an invention disclosed in a patent application. The exact form of an omnibus claim varies, but typically goes something like 'a splendiferous widget substantially as described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings.' You can see how the patentee of such a claim is trying to hedge her bets, by including the word 'substantially'. What even does that mean? How 'substantial' is substantial enough? How is someone to know whether or not they are infringing such a claim, assuming that they have not copied one of the described embodiments exactly?
However, patents and applications that were subject to examination under the former provisions may still validly contain omnibus claims, and so they will continue to be relevant in Australia until at least 2033. It is therefore significant that a Full Bench of the Federal Court of Australia has recently had a rare opportunity to consider the scope of omnibus claims: GlaxoSmithKline Australia Pty Ltd v Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare (UK) Ltd  FCAFC 90 ('GSK').
The court's decision confirms that, in the majority of cases involving consistently-drafted patent specifications, an omnibus claim should be interpreted to have relatively narrow scope, being restricted by the essential features of the invention as described and defined elsewhere in the specification.
Omnibus – The Original Patent Claims!
To many people, omnibus claims may appear strange and somehow 'tricky'. However, they have a history as long as that of patent claims themselves. Surprisingly, the patent system got by perfectly well without claims of any kind for centuries. The idea that an inventor should be required to 'particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter' that she regards as being the invention (to adopt the US formulation of the requirement) is a relatively modern one.
I imagine that in the early days of patents, it was enough to roll up to the granting authorities with something that had self-evidently never previously existed. However, as the pace of technology accelerated, and it increasingly became the case that there was nothing entirely new under the sun, the onus increasingly fell on inventors to be clear about exactly what it was they contended was new and worthy of the protection of the law. This eventually led to the practice – and ultimately the legal requirement – of including specific clauses at the end of a patent specification to define the scope of protection asserted.
1. An electric lamp for giving light by incandescence, consisting of a filament of carbon of high resistance, made as described, and secured to metallic wires, as set forth.
4. The method herein described of securing the platium contact-wires to the carbon filament and carbonization of the whole in a closed chamber, substantially as set forth.
If omnibus claims were good enough for Thomas Edison, then they should be good enough for anyone, right? Well, obviously not. Most modern inventions are considerably more complex than a light globe, and it will often not be at all clear from the description in a lengthy patent specification just exactly what is meant to be protected and what is not. And without a reasonably precise definition of the invention, the important modern practice of examining applications in relation to novelty and inventive step would be all but impossible.
Thus, like the word 'omnibus' itself, omnibus claims are something of an anachronism. Their passing – when it finally happens with the expiry of the many patents that still include them – will not be greatly mourned.
Omnibus claims exist nowadays in a far richer context that in Edison's time. The law has evolved considerably over the past 150 years, both through decisions of the courts and via legislation, to place considerably more stringent requirements on the manner in which applicants describe and define their inventions. A good quality patent specification must now be clear and consistent in what it says is the invention for which protection is sought.
An omnibus claim thus no longer stands alone, as it did in Edison's day, leaving it largely up to the reader to determine from the overall document what it is that the patent covers, and that might be considered an infringement.
In particular, the modern patent specification will typically contain one or more claims in the more usual 'prescriptive' format, setting out the specific characteristics or combinations of elements that are said to constitute the 'essential' defining features of the invention. Under the usual practice in Australia (encouraged by numerous court decisions extending all the way up to the High Court) the description will contain consistory statements corresponding with at least the broadest claims, and the drafter of the specification will have (or, at least, should have) taken care to ensure that there is nothing else in the specification that is inconsistent with the scope of the invention as set out in the consistory statements and the claims.
Omnibus claims therefore no longer stand alone. They exist within the context of all of the other elements of the patent specification, including the complete set of claims considered as a whole. It should come a no surprise, therefore, that this context affects their scope.
A liquid dispensing apparatus comprising a bottle, a bottle neck liner and a flat-nosed syringe having a plunger and a barrel, the barrel terminating at its distal end in a generally flat face having a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the syringe barrel and being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the barrel, the bottle having a bottle neck in which is located the bottle neck liner having a cylindrical body sealingly engaged inside the bottle neck such that liquid cannot flow between the bottle neck liner and the bottle neck, the bottle neck liner comprising a sleeve comprising at its lower end an inward step located within the bottle neck, an aperture being defined inwardly of the inward step, wherein the cylindrical body and the sleeve are connected together with a web of material only at the upper end of the cylindrical body and of the sleeve, wherein the sleeve is formed with a flared portion at its upper end into which the distal end of the syringe barrel passes; wherein when the syringe barrel is inserted into the sleeve the inward step prevents the syringe barrel from protruding past the step and liquid cannot flow between the sleeve and the barrel, but can leave the bottle only via the aperture and thence the syringe.
In the original trial before a single judge of the Federal Court (Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare (UK) Ltd v GlaxoSmithKline Australia Pty Ltd (No 5)  FCA 486), one GSK product was found to infringe the omnibus claim, but not the other claims in the patent. That is, even though the judge concluded that the GSK product did not incorporate all of the elements recited in the above lengthy claim, the omnibus claim was not limited by those elements but 'extends to the substantial idea disclosed by the specification and shown in the drawings' (at ).
In our opinion, contrary to the conclusion of the primary judge, the use of the word "substantially" in [the omnibus claim] in the expression "substantially as described with reference to the drawings and/or examples" does not extend the definition of the invention to "the substantial idea" disclosed by the specification and shown in the drawings.
The word "substantially" provides no warrant for departing from what the specification itself mandates to be the essential features of the invention. A flat-nosed syringe dimensioned as described in the consistory statement is one of the essential features of the invention. Thus, whatever work the word "substantially" is to perform in [the omnibus claim], it cannot transform a feature made essential by the description of the invention into one that is now inessential. Put another way, an embodiment that does not possess the essential features of the invention as described, cannot be one that is "substantially as described". Thus, the word "substantially" in [the omnibus claim] does not do the work which the primary judge held that it did.
Personally, I have always thought that the preferable interpretation of an omnibus claim is one in which it is assumed to fall within the scope of its corresponding independent claim. Viewed this way, it is a relatively narrow claim defining one or more embodiments of the invention in which all of the elements of the main claim are present, with each taking a specific form as disclosed in one or more drawings and/or relevant passages in the description.
There are, indeed, hazards inherent in interpreting an omnibus claim in any other way. For example, an unconstrained interpretation may encompass combinations of elements that do not satisfy the promises made for the invention (i.e. lack utility), or that comprise a different invention, or that encompass some unexpected prior art (i.e. lack novelty or inventive step). While Reckitt Benckiser would doubtless have been happy with the judge who found its omnibus claim infringed by a product that did not fall within any other claim, it would have been less pleased had the more expansive interpretation resulted in the claim being found invalid!
It is true that the handful of legal authorities relating to omnibus claims (mostly fairly old English court decisions) are not entirely consistent on how they should be interpreted. It is also true that the Full Court has not entirely foreclosed the possibility that an omnibus claim might not fall wholly within the scope of the broadest corresponding independent claim in the patent, for example where there are additional 'inconsistent' consistory statements in a specification.
Overall, however, I consider that this decision provides greater certainty regarding the interpretation and scope of omnibus claims than was previously the case. Considering that we still have to live with them for another couple of decades, that can only be a good thing!
