Talk show icon and outspoken Trump supporter violently assaulted outside restaurant
The opposition and outright hatred of President Donald J. Trump by many on the Alt-Left has led to one violent incident after another since his election, and the latest to occur actually involved a talk radio giant who has been an avid, vocal supporter of the billionaire real estate mogul – Dr. Michael Savage.
As initially reported by San Francisco-area media blogger Rich Lieberman, Savage was confronted, verbally abused, and then physically assaulted by an unknown assailant last week at a Marin County restaurant as he attempted to leave the business.
Savage, who was dining with his dog "Teddy," finished his dinner at Servino Ristorante in Tiburon, Calif., which is north of San Fran (where Savage's flagship radio station, KSFO, is located), when the assailant walked up to him and called him by his legal surname, Weiner, in a mocking fashion.
At that, the assailant kicked Savage's poodle Teddy out of the way then grabbed the talk show icon and bestselling author, throwing him to the ground, as reported by an eyewitness who watched the assault along with several other patrons at the eatery.
While Savage was not seriously hurt and his dog is alright, he was shaken and bloodied by the incident.
"We're going to seek felony charges against the man and we're going to investigate this as a hate crime because of Michael's political views," Savage attorney Dan Horowitz told Lieberman after the attack. (RELATED: Alt-Left training the new Brown Shirts as they disguise Trump "protests" as "defending freedom.")
A Good Samaritan who attempted to intervene on Savage's behalf, reports noted, was also summarily clocked in the face.
In a statement to Lieberman, Savage said:
He said "Are you Michael Weeener"! I turned to him and said, 'Go away, I don't know who you are.'
I turned to leave and he pushed me and I fell down. He moved toward me to push me down and he shoved my 10 pound poodle out of the way to get to me. He has lied and said I pushed him. That is absurd. Both of my hands were holding onto things!
As noted by the American Thinker, the Alt-Left local media is reporting that "Savage claims" what happened, happened. The San Francisco Chronicle led with "Firebrand conservative radio host and adamant President Trump supporter," as though those two qualities were qualifiers for violence against him.
Ditto for the San Jose Mercury News, which headlined its story thusly: "Pro-Trump radio host Michael Savage claims he was assaulted outside Marin County restaurant."
Because, you know, hey – being pro-Trump in sunny, mild, tolerant California can get your clock cleaned – you ought to know better:
Michael Savage, the popular right-wing radio personality and fierce Donald Trump supporter, says he was assaulted by a man as he was leaving a Marin County restaurant Tuesday night.
Not conservative radio host, right-wing radio "personality." Fierce Trump supporter, not, 'a supporter of President Trump…'
And why mention his support of Trump in the first place? Are the reporters and editors of the paper tacitly admitting they don't support the president? Are they trying to say it's okay if a 'Trump supporter' gets attacked? Are they explaining away the assault because he's right-wing and somehow deserved it? (RELATED: Why are violent threats against our president suddenly okay?)
"The alleged assailant, whose name has not been released, should expect the panoply of weapons offered by hate crime statutes to be employed against him," wrote Thomas Lifson for American Thinker. "Any social media or other public postings expressing hate toward Savage, Trump, or conservatives in general can be used to establish hatred as a motivation for a physical assault."
That may even include so-called "mainstream media" 'reporting.'
But the larger picture here is that violence committed against anyone who supports Trump is not only being encouraged by the entertainment industry and others, it is being excused and celebrated. While far-Left journalists and reporters taint the coverage of said events, Democrats have been completely silent; not one has stepped up to condemn the attacks.

Marine Veteran Planking Champion Defeated By Chinese Super Cop
Not all heroes wear capes, and not all athletes play sports. Some of them, like retired U.S. Marine officer George...
By Adam Linehan | Published May 16, 2016 7:00 PM
Not all heroes wear capes, and not all athletes play sports. Some of them, like retired U.S. Marine officer George Hood just exercise very, very intensely. In 2015, Hood set the Guinness World Record for "planking," a competitive exercise that entails using one's forearms and toes to keep the legs and torso elevated several inches above the ground, straight like a wooden plank.
This year, on May 14, during an international competition in Beijing, Hood not only broke his record of five hours, 15 minutes, and 15 seconds. He shattered it. His time: 7:04:05 — an extraordinary feat considering that planking is generally regarded as one of the toughest exercises a person can perform, but not extraordinary enough to maintain his world champion status.
That distinction now belongs to a Chinese police officer named Mao Weidong, who beat Hood's time by nearly an hour, setting a new world record of 8:01:01. "He was up against the best," said a defeated Hood, his body dripping with sweat. "Tremendous respect here for this man. I mean that, truly." Meanwhile, Weidong, who seems to be something of a show off, celebrated his victory by knocking out seven extraneous pushups.

Correction: An earlier version of this article misspelled the name of an athlete. His name is George Hood, not George Wood.

If you think socialists are lazy, good-for-nothings who want things just because they are breathing, rather than working for them, Bernie Sanders would agree with you.
At least, if he believes in himself.
According to the new book We Are As Gods, by Kate Daloz, which tells the tale of the rise and fall of the Myrtle Hill Farm in northeast Vermont, Sanders was told to leave the commune in 1971 because he didn't work, instead "sitting around and talking" about politics.
Daloz lived in a geodesic dome residence with an outhouse called the Richard M. Nixon Memorial Hall that was in close proximity to the commune; her parents were close friends with the commune residents.
In summer 1971, Sanders, 30, was a member of the socialist Liberty Union Party and stayed at the commune while he was culling data on natural childbirth for the Liberty Union's publication, Movement. He despised traditional childrearing, where "infants were bottle fed on assembly line schedules designed by assembly line doctors in order to prepare them for assembly line society." He conversed with a woman who gave birth to a child, uncertain of which man in the commune was the father; the woman followed the birth of her child by by eating the afterbirth.


We Aussies live by the maxim: Bigger is Better!
Take the Roadie for instance: it only holds 15 litres of anything yet costs about the same as some much bigger fridges. So what makes the Roadie a smart buy?
For starters, it's perfect to position it between the front seats of many 4WDs and utes or in the cab of a truck, tractor or any other transportation mode where a regular cool drink should be within reach.
Secondly, don't let looks fool you: it's the smartest looking fridge that I know of, yet tough as guts on the outside and more importantly, on the inside.
It'll go where you are going and it still goes when you need to take a long break.
Meaning that it's built to probably outlast the vehicle you're driving in. Of course, I cannot make any claims about that but just looking at the simplicity and the durability of its components gives me that confidence.
The Roadie arrived in a big box with plenty of protection from the packaging. It comes with a tie down kit and a lead to plug into any 12 or 24V vehicle power outlet.
Of course it will just work. But reading 2 pages of helpful hints will give you the most out of the Roadie.
The finish on the outside is immaculate: a glossy black with lid accent in red, yellow or white. The lid can be opened either way (just like most big fridges) and closes magnetically. A couple of insulated cup holders complement a big rotating knob to set the temperature. Temp goes from -18⁰ to +10⁰.
This means you can use the Roadie also as a dedicated freezer. Quite handy if you have done your shopping trip and getting home takes a couple of hours. The ice cream won't melt and the meat won't spoil.
My half hour commute into town brings the temp inside the Roadie down from an ambient 20 degrees to minus 5. So it's very fast in getting down to business.
So we like the exterior but what about the stuff inside which makes the Roadie a worthy sibling of the original Bushman?
Here are some of the hidden features: they use the renowned Danfoss compressor, which, coupled with "wire-on-tube" condensers for maximum heat exchange, makes for a very efficient fridge. In any fridge you have to get rid quickly of excess heat through good ventilation and the Roadie has vents on 3 sides and is aided by a big fan as well.
All of this is packaged in a strong powder-coated, well-insulated steel construction.
You can put it anywhere where it will fit but the best place is where you can tie it down and still within easy reach. It's a heavy object (10 kg plus cans and bottles) so you don't want to see things flying when coming to an unexpected sudden stop! That's why the tie-down kit is important.
The two tie-down straps are fairly short (1m total strap length). It would have been more convenient if they were longer so that you can get to the tie down points available. You can always cut them to size if they were longer.
Most of the time once installed there's no reason to move the Roadie but there are occasions when carrying the Roadie is needed. If the fridge is empty there's no problem but carrying with a full content is not easy without proper handles. I can quickly make some straps to put my hands through to make carrying easier but a complimentary set of Bushman branded "handle" straps may be more professional... It's a great way to make an entrance to a picnic or BBQ! Everyone will want to know about your awesome "esky"!
For my Territory, the best place is either behind one of the front seats or in the very back of the vehicle if access while driving is not much of an issue on shopping trips for instance. The space between the front seats in my car is already spoken for and sometimes we carry passengers in the middle row as well so we could also have it tied down in the middle of that bench seat, which makes it a convenient centre console. The Roadie's size makes relocating it easy.
Talking about size: 15 litres is just the right capacity for its intended use but I like the form factor so much that I was wondering whether Bushman was considering having some bigger units along the same line.
The original Bushman fridge/freezer already starts at 35 and can be extended to 42, 45 or to 52 litres so strictly speaking, they already have the full range in these two products.
Well, I certainly agree with it being best in class for reasons we will further explore below but am hoping that the Roadie might become its own little product line after having been launched 2 years ago.
So what does the 15 litres capacity give you? Either 20 375ml cans or a mix of a 1.25L soft drink or wine bottle with other stuff you need to keep cool. It's enough for a day's work in the sun.
One of the things we were most interested in was how quickly the temperature would drop from ambient (and in a hot car that can quickly go very high!) to fridge or freezer temperatures.
Well, the Roadie did not disappoint. A half hour drive will get it to a useable state. If you put cold stuff in the unit this process will go faster of course or you can pre-cool the unit by switching your ignition to AUX. The draw is not very much but it's always better to have a second battery or a jump starter battery, certainly when you go camping.
The other thing we wanted to know is how accurate is the freezer setting. Will it go down to -18 as advertised?
We used a remote temp sensor to suss out both the speed of cooling and the lowest temp reached. These sensors are around 20 bucks on eBay and the one I have has two sensors and you can set alarms if the temp goes outside of the boundaries you set. Very handy.
The Roadie cools down quickly enough as we've already seen and the max temp we scored (without having anything in the fridge) was minus 14.9 degrees.
That's only 3⁰ off the claimed -18⁰. Close enough to be happy with.
it's sturdily built, yet elegant. It's pricey, yet cheap in the long run. It's small, yet big enough for the biggest truck. It's Aussie, yet with the best foreign components.
Chuck it in your truck or make it the centrepiece in your suburban SUV.
The Roadie is the best companion to keep your cool on hot, long road trips or equally long harvest days.
And it can be used to keep the ice cream from melting or the meat from spoiling on long shopping trips.
Is the Bushman Roadie 15L best of class?
We think so and give it a 9 out of 10 rating.
Next step: get a tape measure and see where in your cab you're gonna put this fella. Here are the dimensions: 535mm x 220 and 380mm high.
The perfect buddy for any Bushman fridge that accompanies you on your trips in the great Outback would be a portable, foldable solar panel that will keep electrons flowing when you're not driving.
Granted, the Roadie doesn't take much to keep its cool with an average Amp draw of less than 0.6A per hour.
So, the 200W panel that Bushman sells for $899 is probably overkill for keeping the Roadie happy, but since when is a small fridge the only thing that needs juicing up when you're camping?
I would suggest that 200W is just about the minimum to take to the Black Stump country and beyond.
The Bushman Solar Panel is extremely portable and comes in a 5 panel design with an attached pouch to carry all the leads with alligator clips and Anderson plugs, including a 5m long extension lead so that you can place the panels in the best possible spot. The closer to the sun the better, right? Just kidding! But you might be camping in the shade and a few metres from your van you'll have a sunlit spot, so this extension lead is a must have accessory.
The 200W panel comes with an advanced solar controller with LCD display so you always know what goes in and what the output is. With great efficiency even less than blazing sun-shiny days will give you enough energy to keep batteries fully charged.
And keeping your phones topped off in remote areas is always a priority. 2 USB ports on the controller will just do that.
Even without having a fridge on board a solar panel is a must have accessory for any lengthy trip.
the whole kit and caboodle weighs only 5.5kgs in a very portable format. Closed, the dimensions are 560mm x 440 x 40. Fully open the 440 stretches to 2200mm.

A Warm and Inviting Retirement Community in the Heart of Ravenna
Senior independent and assisted living
One look around the iconic Ida Culver House Ravenna, and there's a good chance you will see some familiar faces. Our retirement community includes many local residents who have a deep connection to the neighborhood's inspiring heritage. Our community's name carries forth the legacy of its pioneer, Ms. Ida Culver, who originally created a home for retired teachers. Today, Ida Culver House is home to residents of varied backgrounds and locales.
Set in the heart of Ravenna, residents enjoy the charming neighborhood's tree-lined streets and the lovely shops and cafés. Warmth and energy set the tone at Ida Culver House, where staff and residents feel like family. Life here is all about enjoying comfort and peace of mind in a quaint, well-established Seattle neighborhood.
Exciting news: reimagining Ida Culver House Ravenna
Our building was first built in 1949, and many of us know and love the charm of an older building with a legacy in the neighborhood. There are also a number of challenges associated with an aging building, and some of these challenges have become more profound as a result of the pandemic. We are exploring a range of possibilities to reimagine Ida Culver House Ravenna so that we can continue to be a place we can serve seniors for decades to come. Pending approvals, which we expect would occur by early 2023, we hope to begin a redevelopment project.
In the meantime, we are still welcoming new residents into the community. Some of our new residents view this as an opportunity to test out senior living or relocating to Seattle. Others are looking for a short-term respite stay or a temporary or longer term solution to a problematic living situation. We are offering robust transition resources for those residents who are still living with us when we get closer to construction. Also, residents will be given priority in the new building when it is complete. Learn more by contacting us today.
Serving Ravenna and beyond
Our senior living community proudly serves the residents of Ravenna, Laurelhurst, Wedgwood, University District, and more. We offer senior independent living and assisted living care.
To learn more about Ida Culver House Ravenna, please contact us at (206) 452-3188 or reach out to us online.

The Weaponized American Dream
Some people were born on third base
and go through life thinking
they hit a triple.
Barry Switzer
Not only was he born on third base, never held a bat, his dad owns the stadium and the team–the Meritocracy Mets! 😊
We all might know some trust fund babies. Or people who have been given everything their entire lives. I've been to weddings that are corporate mergers and worked with people who are amongst the most privileged humans on the planet. And every one of them has a story about their hero's journey of slaying the dragons, overcoming the odds and the work ethic it took to succeed. It is human nature for all of us to spin a story, an amazing self-congratulatory, self-preservation story about what "I did" to earn, and deserve "my success", no matter how much privilege we've enjoyed. And I have also worked and know those who have come from virtually nothing and suffered through real hardship to claw their way to the top. These are amazing stories that truly come from lived experiences that can inspire and give hope to others. We can fall in love with these stories, wonderful versions of the American Dream.
Stop Blaming COVID!
We have been in isolation, wearing masks, social distancing, vaccinations, zooming etc. For those of us not in denial, we realize most of this will not change. That we are forever changed by these experiences and that our future health and well-being depends on our adaptability not our non-sensical "return to normal" and our clinging to nostalgia.
Many of us are navigating this crazy world the best as we can. Yet many others are hiding beneath the sheets of "gratitude" and "privilege" of their COVID bed. Using the real uncertainty, anxiety, and health crises of this time as lame excuses for not moving forward with their lives.
Stop blaming COVID for your pre-COVID career co-morbidities– your laziness, your procrastination and deferral of the pursuit of a life that is true to yourself.
Ego: The Enemy of Empathy
For the Ego kills the ability to feel the pain of others. For this is the test of our own struggles. Do we feel in our hearts and our bodies what others are experiencing? Or do we rationalize it? That is the Ego doing it's dirty work, making the tragedies of the world explainable, justifiable and fixable. And therefore not MY problem. The further we remove ourselves from the ills of the world, because we can't let them interfere with our self-important pursuits, our true inner selves are submerged beneath our separateness from the world and each other. And our best self, our virtuous self, gets sedated and suppressed.
Back to whose normal?
Most of us are trying to avoid the phrase, "return to normal". Even newscasters, pundits, leaders of all types are making awkward statements about "a partial, a semblance, a return to some normalcy…."
Part of this recognizes the mountain ranges of reality that now exist between the valleys of our ignorance.
Our collective awakening, our shared despair, guilt and confusion make a return to "normal" impossible.
These powerful forces and circumstances have brought us to this moment, to this place, and we can never go back.

In NYC It's Transgender Heroes vs. Godly Protector of Orphans: Who Wins?
08.27.2019 | Commentary | Daily Surge |
Surge Summary: In New York City, an initiative to honor women who built that community has rejected Mother Cabrini, who cared for orphans, and settled on two transgender "women" who played an important role in that movement.
For more information: [email protected]
Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D., Founder and President of the Ruth Institute, said replacing a noted humanitarian and America's first canonized saint with a politically connected drag queen, "makes a mockery of the program's stated purpose. The city claimed it wanted to erect monuments honoring the women who built New York City. Instead, NY's First Lady is honoring men who say they are women."
New York City is planning to erect statues of women to address a perceived gender imbalance among the city's monuments. Political correctness has come to dominate the process.
The project is known as She Built NYC and is expected to cost $5 million. Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (popularly known as Mother Cabrini) "fit the stated description of the project perfectly," Morse observed.
Working in the 1880s, Mother Cabrini founded an upstate orphanage and a school for girls in the Washington Heights section of New York. Altogether, she started 67 institutions dedicated to helping the poor. When the city solicited nominations for the She Built NY project, Mother Cabrini was nominated more frequently than any other person.
The City's First Lady, Chirlane McCray, ignored the public's stated wishes and selected drag queens and LGBTQ activists, who adopted the names Sylvia Rivera and Marsha Johnson, in place of Mother Cabrini.
Dr. Morse explained: "Calling yourself 'transgendered' doesn't make you a woman if you have the DNA of a man. Adopting a woman's name and dressing like a woman won't work either. Gender is a matter of biology, not belief."
Morse continued: "Sexual Revolutionaries have found a new way to advance their agenda – publicly-funded monuments honoring individuals who represent gender confusion and whose chief achievement is political activism promoting their cause."
The Ruth Institute is a global non-profit organization equipping Christians to defend the family and build a civilization of love. On April 26-27, the Institute held a Summit for Survivors of Sexual Revolution http://www.ruthinstitute.org/upcoming-events/survivors-summit
Dr. Morse is the author of, "The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies Are Destroying Lives." https://thesexualstate.com/

NPO, Hybrid Radio and RadioDNS
Caroline Brindle - 4 February 2013
We're always really pleased to hear how our members and supporters are utilising RadioDNS technology and services. The Netherlands Public Broadcaster, NPO, joined as a member in January 2013 and we're delighted to have them on board.
Walter Huijten, Service Manager for Radio at NPO has written us a thoughtful and interesting blog below on how RadioDNS fits in to NPO's services and strategy for radio.
NPO Netherlands Public Broadcasting, have taken the step to formally join the RadioDNS community and activities. It automatically became a supporter by adopting the standards last year, but felt it needed to further start supporting this valuable initiative as a Public Service Broadcaster.
A little background. Whilst in the Netherlands DAB has had a lingering existence since 2004, NPO, together with private and commercial broadcasters have decided to step up the initiative and fully deploy DAB+ over the coming 5 years.
In the meanwhile Internet radio listening has developed strongly in the Netherlands with a 5-10% share. NPO has always been very active in this field and streams all its main channels and 15+ genre channels in resolutions from 32kb/s for mobile devices up to 192kb for fixed internet.
NPO have embraced the idea that radio is and will increasingly be hybrid. Therefore standards like those fostered by IMDA and RadioDNS have become extremely important. NPO particularly see the RadioDNS standard as the glue that binds all those distribution methods together and offer an integrated user experience. The listener should really only be interested in getting his preferred content in the easiest way, through whatever route it may reach him. In a world where Radio competes with all kinds of media offerings, it needs to be as easy, rich and intuitive as possible.
At last September's IBC in Amsterdam, NPO announced its adoption of the RadioDNS standards and featured a basic RadioVIS set-up. This was based on the "Visual Radio" content that is being offered by Radio 1, 2, 6 and 3FM for about 3 years now: http://www.3fm.nl/live However simply forwarding screenshots from a Visual Radio stream as a slide show to RadioVIS is probably not the most exiting use of that standard: it's a beginning.
We are now working on ways to have our integrated radio content management system publish interesting and rich information through RadioVIS and DAB slideshow.
RadioTAG is the other sub-standard we're very interested in, as it offers a means of interaction. For that reason we have asked a company that does a lot of our development in this field, PluxBox, to participate in the upcoming "Radio Hack" at EBU's Digital Radio Summit in Geneva. we're hoping they will come up with interesting and practical ideas for employing RadioTAG.
NPO is looking forward to working with all of you to advance the RadioDNS standards to something that really makes Hybrid Radio something "tangible" for our listeners.'

Movie Monday time! Stepping back to early 2007, here is a video from Brian Davis titled "LNE: LEGO Packbot." Nothing can seem to stop this robot; one of my favorite parts is the scene with the robot "swimming" across packing peanuts. You can watch the movie below, and Brian has posted a number of pictures of the robot on Brickshelf.
The official MINDSTORMS website has announced the winners of the "NXT NXT" building challenge: a contest involving creations that use two NXTs. Check out the winners and get some inspiration for your next robot! Employing the power of two NXTs is a great way to demonstrate the potential of the NXT set.
Starting July 28th, I'll be teaching a week-long robotics course for teenagers at Stanford University using LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT. The course, "Hands-On Robotics for Teens," is one of many technology courses being offered this summer by DMA (Digital Media Academy), a nationally-recognized organization that runs summer computer camps at campuses across the nation. I've written a course description and put together a five-day course outline, and DMA has posted the information to their website.
The entire course will be "NXT-based." We'll be using the educational version of the NXT set and also the Education Resource Set. And what's the highlight of the course? I think it will be the robotic sumo competition!
The course is for teenagers (ages 13-19), and if you're interested in signing up for the course (or have a teen who may be interested), you can find out more about registration at the DMA website.
I'm definitely excited. After all, what's a summer without a robotic sumo competition?
Previously, there was a "secret" NXT movie that could be accessed on the home page of the MINDSTORMS website by clicking an exclamation mark in a sentence. The hyper-linked exclamation mark seems to be gone now, and while the URL is still valid, the same movie and a few others featuring Alpha-Rex have appeared on the "movies" section of the MINDSTORMS website. Check these little movies out if you want to see an Alpha-Rex play ball, dance, and fight a fly (and win!).
More book news! I just reviewed Daniele Benedettelli's book Creating Cool MINDSTORMS NXT Robots and posted the review on Amazon.com. In summary, though, great job, Daniele! Below are two pictures I took of robot's from the book: NXT AT-ST and Omni-Biped.
Featuring updated instructions for the improved leJOS NXJ software, this accessible manual is the perfect guide to LEGO Mindstorms NXT, an incredible new kit for building and programming your own robots. Using Java, the most popular and easy-to-use programming language available, this manual helps engineers and amateurs alike design and build their own customized robots, programmed however they desire. Complete with a diverse set of projects, building tips, programming codes, complete 3D-rendered building instructions, and hundreds of illustrations, this useful handbook is the perfect complement to the LEGO NXT kit. The NXT intelligent brick's Bluetooth capabilities are introduced as well as the newest available parts, including the gyro and the RFID sensor.
I'm looking forward to the second edition, Brian!
There are numerous books that cover the NXT set, but many of them have different focuses: building, programming, custom sensors, etc. So if you're looking for some NXT books that would interest you, how do you know which ones to get or even what is available?
To address this problem, I've put together an Unofficial LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Book Repository that lists most of the published NXT books that I'm aware of. The repository—at www.booksnbots.com—includes a brief description of each book along with other basic information and links to Amazon.com.
Leave a comment here or email me if you have any suggestions for improvement on the repository or other comments. I'd love to hear what you think!
If you're a Java fan, you will be excited to hear that version 0.6 of leJOS NXJ was recently released. This release finally brings full Max OS X support as well as a number of other fixes and new features. You can download it here.
Looking for a contest that demands more complexity? Then the official MINDSTORMS NXT NXT Building Challenge is for you. In this contest, inventors are required to create an NXT robot that uses two NXTs that communicate with each other. That's why this is called the "NXT NXT" building challenge. You have until Monday, June 30 2008, to submit your creation to NXTLOG, where you will find the complete rules.
The recent 2008 FIRST LEGO League World Festival has brought a flurry of postings and pictures on the news section of the MINDSTORMS website. How many teams participated, you say? The April 21 post mentions, "Eighty one teams from around the world participated in the 10th FIRST LEGO League (FLL) World Festival this past weekend at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta." Below is just one of the pictures, which shows a winning robot that landed the "Green Man Group" first place in the Robot Performance Award.

Inland Sea
Curator: Adélaïde Blanc
"I work on the capacity of human beings to create systems that relate, modify or extract from nature, and thus I realize that, even when in contradiction with it, we are part of its changing cycle."
For his first solo exhibition in France, which opens as part of Nuit Blanche 2016, Rodrigo Braga (born in 1976 in Manaus, Brazil, lives in Rio de Janeiro) is occupying the ornamental pond on the esplanade between Palais de Tokyo and the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. In the midst of the capital, his monumental installation reveals tangible traces of the prehistoric sea that covered this territory some 45 million years ago. The relationships of communion and conflict between mankind and untamed nature lie at the heart of Rodrigo Braga's performances and installations. Since the early 2000s, his films and photographs have borne witness to the actions and interventions he has carried out, generally in the wilds. Invited to make use of the mineral landscape of the esplanade of Palais de Tokyo, Rodrigo Braga has created an enclaved sea, from which limestone rocks emerge. These sandy-coloured stones, with their familiar appearance, come from quarries used for the construction of a large number of buildings in Paris. Crisscrossed with concave and convex fossil markings, they bear witness to the teeming aquatic life that thrived in the basin of Paris, several million years ago.
"In often extreme bodily encounters, Rodrigo Braga confronts the vegetable and animal kingdoms, and thus explores the forces that unite or oppose mankind with nature. At Palais de Tokyo, he is staging the capital's geological history, and reminding us of the prehistoric and zoological origins of the stones that shelter us today. His installation uses the thickness of the stone to evoke the extent of the mineral time in which mankind exists."

Pippa Middleton has welcomed her first child with husband James Matthews.
The exciting news was revealed on Twitter by royal reporter Rebecca English, who announced the couple welcomed a little boy yesterday.
The world will eagerly be awaiting news of the baby's name, and if Pippa and her husband are to follow in the footsteps of the royals they may wait as long as a week to confirm either.
Just a few hours before the announcement, Pippa's husband was spotted carrying a £78 Cam Cam Copenhagen baby changing bag and a £37 Nobodinoz Loz Angeles weekend bag into the £7,500-a-night maternity unit.
The weekend bag is sure to contain the new mum's post-baby outfit as well as an adorable get up for new baby.
Kate's sister confirmed she was expecting her first child in June, in her column for Waitrose magazine, weeks after rumours that she was pregnant started.
She wrote at the time: 'I was lucky to pass the 12-week scan without suffering from morning sickness. This being my first pregnancy, I had so many questions I felt were still unanswered.
'I wanted to know things like — would I strain if I served in tennis? Are all strokes of swimming safe? Can I still do a normal yoga class if I avoided certain positions? Could I still work my abs?
She also recently took to her column to open up about her last month of pregnancy, revealing that changes to her body have left her feeling 'uncomfortable and achy'.
The happy news comes just days after it was confirmed that Meghan is expecting her first child with husband Prince Harry in spring 2019.
Congratulations to both Pippa and James!


The Southern Baptist Messianic Fellowship met in Nashville TN. for our annual meeting. We worshiped at Congregation Kol Dodi in Nashville on Erev Shabbat (Friday evening). The meetings were a wonderful time in Worship, fellowship and working the good work of Yeshua.
The teaching on the 18th was a blessing. Dr. Michael Rydelnik (Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, Illinois) gave us a view of the Messiah in the Tanach (Hebrew Bible). Dr. Bob Ryan (North American Mission Board, Strategic Focus City) gave a teaching about focusing on organized evangelism efforts. Our other speakers were: Ken Alpren, David Hecht, Bruce Mills and Jim Sibley (The Pasche Institute of Jewish Studies).

Emmanuel Macron: no longer Jupiter, but Vulcan
More Chinese applicants than Europeans to UK universities
by Joel Kotkin
Democrats and Republicans need new champions
Joe Biden and Donald Trump are undermining their parties' electoral prospects
For the love of God, go. Credit: Getty
These are strange times in American politics. Slowly but surely, the Democrats have been losing their historically working class and multi-racial base, with Hispanics in particular drifting Right. This shift was starkly evident in the recent New York Times/Siena poll which showed that, for the first time ever, Democrats had a larger share of support among white graduates than among non-white voters, achieving effective parity with Republicans over the Hispanic vote.
The shift has unsettled each party in less than attractive ways. The Democrats' growing reliance on college-educated affluent white people reflects the policies pursued by the Biden Administration, which is both inept and widely unpopular. Although there are the de rigeur calls to help the middle class, the President has identified himself with the issues that animate the activist element in the upper classes. These include aggressive climate change policies, near limitless abortion access, lax immigration controls (opposed by two-thirds of Americans) and the implementation of critical race theory in schools. Amid soaring inflation, working class voters have been worst affected, many of which include the increasingly influential Latino voter as well small business owners, whose confidence is at a near half-century low.
Yet the Republicans, as the late Rodney Dangerfield would put it, "are no bargain either." Despite a gain in support among Latino and ethnic minority voters in the 2020 election, Donald Trump is hurting the GOP brand. As his role in the Jan 6 chaos becomes increasingly apparently, it would be wise for the party to separate from its former leader before it's too late. In addition, the party's embrace in some states of total bans on abortion and laissez-faire gun policies, threatens its base in suburbia, especially among women.
Clearly, both parties need new champions. Two examples already stand out. For the Republicans recently elected Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin represents a tolerant and reasoned conservatism that has shown appeal in even affluent suburbs. Of course, not having a manic temperament like Trump's helps.
The Democrats, meanwhile, have a potential new role-model in Rep. Tim Ryan, now running for Senate in the pivotal state of Ohio. His campaign is focused on bread-and-butter issues that appeal to working-class voters, as well as an endorsement of Trump's China and trade policies. These positions may not appeal to the tech oligarchs linked to China, but they could help restore some of the party's base.
The fundamental reality is this: nearly two-thirds of Americans don't have a BA, much less a PhD from Harvard. In fact, college enrollment has dropped by 1.3 million over the past two years and professor's salaries are dropping. Demographically it's the working class, not college graduates, that is ascendant. In other words, the political future of America rests on the people who work in places like Home Depot, drive trucks, build houses, work as aides in nursing homes and hospitals. They are increasingly what Franklin Roosevelt called "the forgotten" but the winning party will be the one that remembers them. Whichever party captures this coalition, they will be the victor.
If DeSantis runs he will have my vote. He is one of the few politicians who dares speak up about all the nonsense going on.
Paul O
Wish we had a DeSantis in the UK. Alas, we are not blessed with any politicians with his courage and integrity.
Matt M
Reply to Paul O
I like the look of Kemi Badenoch. Seems to me to be cut from the same cloth as DeSantis.
Carlos Danger
I'm not sure Ron DeSantis, an elite lawyer-politician, can do deals like Donald Trump. The art of the deal isn't taught in law school, but learned through experience in the real world where one has skin in the game. Ron DeSantis has none of that kind of experience.
Donald Trump is a politician of a type never seen in my lifetime. Whether Ron DeSantis has anywhere near his talents remains to be seen.
Matt Hindman
Really Mr. Kotkin? Your suggestion for the Republicans is to go with another classic establishment neocon? Why do you think voters went with Trump in the first place? I guarantee you the party will immediately start losing the working class and minority support they have started to gather if they do such a thing. Have you met many American voters?
I hope Mr. Kotkin is right, and I agree it's time both Trump and Biden stepped away from politics. Whether they will do so (or can be forced to do so) is another question.
There is, indeed, a huge swathe of "forgotten" people in America, but the so-called "elites" seem to control the levers of power and certainly the media (both social and traditional). I will be very interested to see how blatantly big tech tries to control/censor the narrative in the run up to the US mid-terms.
The sad reality also seems to be that "the forgotten", that huge block of lower/middle class Americans, don't seem to turn out in large numbers to vote anymore. Maybe they've lost faith in the political process. But if they want to neuter the elites they'll have to go to the ballot box.
I'm cautiously optimistic about the mid-terms, but the pandemic taught us just how powerful the elite-driven establishment really is.
Brian Villanueva
The future of the GOP is a Wall Street banker turned Northeast governor who walked out of Bush Inc central casting? I'm pretty sure we've seen this show before. Ever heard of Mitt Romney?
Anyone who writes an article about working class GOP champions without mentioning JD Vance or Ron DeSantis clearly isn't interested in the actual working class.

Man Who Falsely Claimed to Receive the Purple Heart Award to Receive Financial Benefits is Sentenced to 21 Months in Federal Prison
DALLAS — A 35-year-old man, Brandon Ryan Blackstone, who admitted fraudulently representing the receipt of a military decoration for financial gain, has been sentenced by Chief U.S. District Judge Barbara M.G. Lynn to serve 21 months in federal prison, announced U.S. Attorney John Parker of the Northern District of Texas.
Blackstone pleaded guilty in September 2016 to a felony information charging one count of wire fraud and one count of fraudulent representation about the receipt of a military decoration for financial gain. Blackstone has been in custody since February 2017 for violations of his pretrial conditions.
"Falsely claiming military honors is disgraceful by itself," said U.S. Attorney Parker. "But to do so for financial gain is particularly despicable."
"Any fraudulent claim of military valor is disturbing and disrespectful to the brave men and women who earned their honors through courage and sacrifice. Brandon Blackstone's fraudulent claims, made repeatedly with the purpose of defrauding the government and obtaining personal enrichment, are not only especially egregious, but criminal. The FBI will not stand by in these situations," said FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge Eric K. Jackson. "We will investigate these cases to ensure justice is reached. We will do our part to uphold the integrity of the U.S. government and military institutions and to honor those courageous individuals who truly deserve their military honors."
"This conviction demonstrates the VA Office of Inspector General's unwavering commitment to protect the programs intended to assist veterans that have served this nation and rightfully earned their benefits," said Special Agent in Charge James Werner, VA Office of Inspector General.
According to plea documents, Blackstone served in the United States Marine Corps from 2004 until 2006. Between August 28, 2004, and September 30, 2004, Blackstone was deployed with the Marines to Iraq.
On July 28, 2006, Blackstone submitted an application for compensation and/or pension to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). In the application, the defendant falsely claimed to have sustained multiple physical blast injuries while deployed to Iraq, when his Humvee vehicle struck an anti-tank mine. When Blackstone was examined at the Dallas VA Medical Center in October 2006 he falsely claimed that he sustained multiple lacerations and physical injuries as a result of an explosion when his Humvee passed over an anti-tank mine which exploded. Also in October 2006, in support of his application for benefits, Blackstone submitted to the VA, two forged and falsified witness statements, purporting to be signed by Marines who witnessed the explosion.
In November 2006, the VA awarded Blackstone disability benefits in the form of monthly compensation payments.
In February 2012, the defendant submitted an online application to the Military Warrior Support Foundation (MWSF), to fraudulently obtain a residence. MWSF is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping injured veterans. Included in the benefits provided to combat wounded veterans, MWSF provides mortgage free residences to eligible veterans who were wounded during combat. In the application, Blackstone falsely claimed to have sustained blast injuries, resulting from an explosion, when his vehicle struck an anti-tank mine while on patrol. In the application, Blackstone also falsely claimed that, as a result of his injury, he was awarded the Purple Heart Medal. Because he held himself out to have been awarded the Purple Heart Medal, Blackstone received from MWSF, a mortgage free residence in Fort Worth, Texas in November 2012, and was scheduled to receive the title of the residence in November 2015.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Veteran Affairs, Office of Inspector General investigated the case. Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Dan Cole was in charge of the prosecution.

Paris Saint-Germain have completed the astonishing season-long loan move for Kylian Mbappe – with a binding option to sign the 18-year-old striker for €180 million (£166.4m) next summer on a four-year contract.
The French club are also considering bids for either Julian Draxler or Angel di Maria before the transfer window closes. There are offers from the United Kingdom for Draxler, thought to include a bid from Arsenal, but it remains to be seen whether they meet PSG's expected minimum asking price of €60m (£55.3m).
There is also strong interest in Spain for both players and so matters are complicated because that transfer market does not close until Friday. Ideally PSG would sell one of their star names to help raise money following the world-record €222m (£205m) deal to sign Neymar earlier in the window.
There will be intense scrutiny of PSG's finances and whether they have breached Uefa's Financial Fair Play rules. It was the desire to try and ensure they comply with FFP which has led them to construct the loan move for Mbappe, which has been agreed by Monaco because the French international would not agree a new contract with them and they feared his transfer value would decline. Mbappe, who is from Paris, had set his heart on moving to PSG.
"It is with great joy and pride that I join Paris Saint-Germain," said Mbappé, after signing his contract. "For any young person from the Paris region, it is a dream to wear the red and blue jersey and experience the unique atmosphere of the Parc des Princes.
"I really wanted to be a part of the club's project, which is one of the most ambitious in Europe. Alongside my new team-mates, I intend to continue my progression while helping the team achieve the very big objectives it has set itself."
PSG president Nasser Al_Khelaifi said: "It is with a lot of emotion and satisfaction that I welcome Kylian Mbappé to the Paris Saint-Germain family. It was essential for French football that we keep and help develop such a great talent in our championship.
"Among players of his age, he is without doubt the most promising in the world due to his immense technical, physical and mental qualities. Since his emergence at the highest level, he has earned an excellent reputation as a young talent who is very respectful, open, ambitious and already very mature.
"Under our colours, in the midst of truly great players, Kylian will continue his progression in a way that will also benefit the French national team in the months and years to come. With his arrival, more than ever, our supporters will have plenty to cheer about."

Doris Ospina has been working in Cleaning for about 15 years. For the first, 5 years, she was working as a cleaner for M&R Building Services Cleaning houses and offices. Because of this company went out of business, she decided to manage her own Cleaning Company in 2005,She partnered with Jhon Arias, his co-worker and Friend.

Her most recently and challenging work was creating a system for a Real State Company that has 6 buildings with more than 2,000 tenants. Her work consisted in providing post construction cleaning to each building and afterwards setting and providing janitorial service. These buildings needed a new cleaning system, so that these had rented offices that were divided by glass partitions, a few kitchens and restrooms for a lot of customers. Her company provided full service such as carpet, glass, restrooms, kitchen, tiling, office cleaning and porter service. It meant buildings need to look cleaned all time, 24/7 from top to bottom. In addition, she should have well trained employees as well as happy tenants. She achievedall of these in an efficient manner with her managerial skills. She says "Nobody gets a master for cleaning service but I think I got my own master doing this type of cleaning".

Innovation and adaptation to climate change in the heart of the desert
Esenaman site is located at a distance of 120 km from the cultural zone of Dashoguz region. Esenaman is one of the major watering spots of the Garagum livestock farm, which has a livestock of around 32,000 sheep and some 1,700 camels. There are two sardobs on the site (traditional reservoirs for storing water that are built on pastures in the desert zone of Turkmenistan). However, over time, due to the negative impact of the external environment, they fell into decay or completely collapsed.
"Years between 1995 and 1997 were very difficult for the livestock sector. Due to changes in climate, those years were very dry, there was almost no rainfall. The productive capacity of pastures decreased, most of the wells dried up were not able to provide residents and their herds with water. Almost 25% of sheep died from weight loss and disease. Currently, the situation has not improved except in 2019," says Saparmurat Mukhanov, a local specialist of Garagum livestock farm. "In 2019, there was a lot of rainfall, and on the contrary, there was a problem of water accumulation, since there were not enough functioning takyrs and sardobs to collect water. Most of them have not been repaired for a long time and therefore have failed over time."
Earlier, sardobs on the Esenaman site were used to collect rainwater and to water livestock. But with the destruction of the sardob and kak (catchment area), as well as the cessation of water collection, the shepherds stopped grazing their livestock in this area. The pastures were neglected and are no longer suitable for desert cattle breeding. As a result, flocks of sheep graze in nearby sites and villages, such as Aji Guyy, Kirk Guyy, Damla and do not change their location for a while, which leads to increased pressure on natural pastures and desertification of these territories.

"Livestock breeding is a strategic sector of the country's economy that ensures food security, and if timely measures to increase sustainability are not taken, then this can lead to a decrease in economic and social well-being of the region. Sustainability implies a balance between water availability, fodder reserves and regulation of livestock numbers," explains Ovezdurdy Jumadurdyev, UNDP / GEF project specialist.
The restoration of Esenaman site and the catchment area on it will allow sheep flocks to be moved 30-35 km inland to the sands and will provide an opportunity for pastures of the Adjy Guyy site (30 km from Esenaman) to recover within 3-4 years. In addition, the Esenaman feed supply will increase the number of sheep by 2-3 thousand heads.
For this reason, the UNDP / GEF project "Supporting climate resilient livelihoods in agricultural communities in drought-prone areas of Turkmenistan" (SCRL) and and the EU-funded "Central Asia Nexus Dialogue Project" implemented by the Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia (CAREC) in partnership with the International Union for Conservation of Nature and with the support of the Executive Committee of the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea (IFAS) joined forces to introduce innovative technologies to increase adaptive capacity at Esenaman.
In fall 2019, solar-powered pumping equipment was installed, and several measures were taken to restore sardob and kak.
1. Sardobs were reconstructed and fenced off that would prevent grazing animals from damaging the structure.
2. The use of solar energy is an environmentally friendly solution in desert conditions where access to electricity and power lines is limited. Energy is used to ensure the operation of pumps that pump water from sardobs for drinking livestock needs.
3. A scheme was also proposed for sustainable pasture turnover in Garagum livestock farm. These measures will help preserve the existing pastures and increase the productivity of livestock farming.
The next step is to restore the vegetation around Begish sardob by repairing two 250m³ sardobs and concreting 1 ha of takyr as part of the project's grant activity. "The implementation of these projects will contribute to the flooding of additional pasture areas, thereby reducing the burden of degraded pasture plots. Restored sardobs during the rainy seasons will be able to provide water for about 4 herds, this is more than 2,400 sheep. Shepherds with their families will be able to move to these territories and stay here for two seasons," explained Saparmurat Mukhanov, a local specialist at Garagum livestock farm.
It is planned to repair two existing houses for shepherds at their own expense on this site. At present, the territory of Begish sardob is landscaped, trees have been planted, drinking bowls for livestock have been built. It is planned to turn this site into an oasis in the future, so that not only local shepherds, but also the passers-by can use it to get some rest.
Therefore, UNDP/GEF project will ensure food security by increasing the number of livestock and the development of new pastures, this will save ecosystems and restore the vegetation cover of pastures, where livestock overgrazing is currently underway.

Nigerian media personality, Toke Makinwa, received unexpected negative reactions after she shared a photo of power couple, Jay Z and Beyonce from the 60th Annual Grammy Awards yesterday.
Nigerian, are known to never forget issues from the past andy they've proved it again, as they mercilessly trolled the OAP on twitter.
They had recalled the negative reports about her and the book she wrote about her failed marriage.


The "theme" of the First Reading, Psalm and Gospel today is "forgiveness of sins". We hear the touching Gospel story, of the "woman with a bad name in the town" coming to anoint Jesus' feet. Living inspired by the love of Jesus is the key to our discipleship – his crucifixion is the sign of his love, which is in itself the forgiveness of sins.

Wild Wise Sooke (WWS) was founded in conjunction with Transition Sooke and in partnership with the District of Sooke, the BC Conservation Officer Service and neighbourhood ambassadors. We are a volunteer run wildlife educational program working to promote coexistence between the Sooke community and our wild neighbours.
To reduce human-wildlife conflict in the community through public education.
Garbage: Garbage is the #1 attractant for bears… habituated garbage bears can become bold, unpredictable and potentially very dangerous. It is imperative to store garbage in secure location (like a closed garage) until the morning of collection to prevent habituation. This will keep the bears wild and the community safe! Please also freeze organic waste to reduce smell and only put out to the road the morning of collection.
Bird feeders: Many Sooke residents like seeing birds in their backyards. We recommend planting bird-friendly plants to provide a natural food source for birds as having bird feeders is not always beneficial to the birds- as this common feeding ground, feeders can lead to disease spread and ease of predation. They can also attract other animals as well such as rodents, raccoons and even bears.
Livestock: Predatory animals like bears and cougars may be attracted to your home if you have unsecured livestock. A properly maintained electric fence is a proven method of reducing conflict and loss of livestock. Message us for details!
BBQ: Clean after every use and store indoors when possible.
Fruit trees: Pick your fruit before it ripens and prevent windfall. If you have fruit trees that need picking or would like fruit for pies/baking, contact WWS to put you in contact.
Beehives: Attract wild animals, ensure your yard is protected by an electric fencing to keep out wildlife.
Compost: Avoid putting meat, cheese and other smelly foods in your compost. Aerate frequently to prevent odours from attracting wildlife.
Keep a clean yard and STASH YOUR TRASH!
For species-specific information, to request a sign or if you are interested in volunteering — contact us!

One of the many services we offer at Modernwash is the Facelift System.
This is a system that is custom designed and manufactured to fit your existing building. It consists of our signature exterior wall claddings, siding,panels, trims and bolt on elements to give your existing building an upgrade or Facelift if you please.
The photo above is a split image of a project that shows the possibilities of the FaceLift System.
Our good friend and client Aaron Vincelette had bought an existing metal building and wanted this site to harmonize and cross brand with the EcoWash Building that we made for him at his Vermont location. (see Ecowash for Photos in Recent Projects) We instructed Aaron to take dimensions (heights, widths, etc.) and reference photos and send to our design department. Upon receipt of this information our designers started layout drawings and working with the client to create the new Facelift Design.
This design consisted of our pre cut FCP Fiber Cement Panel System with Black Reveals, Custom 12mm Polycarbonate Awnings, as well as ACM Aluminum Composite Panels and Trims and our corrugated commercial WAVE panel cladding to transform the worn existing design into a bright new look!
Take a look at the existing photos and the corresponding panel installation photos to see how transformed the building is.
We created very strong surround elements over the overhead door openings as well as accent areas on the building to give it a very bold image.
The tower areas on the building were extended and given our WAVE panel treatment so that they would also be a a very visual part of the overall design.
Adding special zones such as these really do add a distinctive flair to an existing structure and help to convey this isn't just a remodel but a different building!
The combination of smooth FiberCement Panels with solid color against the use of the corrugated WAVE panels allows for the contrast between the two adding visual interest.
The WAVE Panel adds dimension. This is an economical panel and it can be used for either primary or secondary design areas. The WAVE panel comes in many colors to compliment any exterior design scheme.
The finished design is a repurposed exterior that harmonizes with the clients brand allowing for cross marketing of the two sites.
Our 12mm Polycarbonate Panels are a great addition to give an outdated awning some interest. If shade is needed then we can build many custom shade solutions that will look clean and modern.


Starting with the MongoDB Java API 3.1 a new GridFS API has been added. It is available under the com.mongodb.client.gridfs package.
This happens when your system is using the new GridFS API to access a file in the GridFS that was previously created with the old GridFS API. Also client tools such as MongoChef that allow you to manipulate a GridFS collection may internally be using the old GridFS API and could break your system that is using the new API.

• Deterring, removing or destroying the offending animal.
A building or area with wild life problems must be thoroughly inspected to determine the specific areas that are affected. Removing raccoons from a chimney for example requires a much different level of skill and knowledge than live trapping. Next, if possible it should be determined how the animals are gaining entry or access to the structure. This is done via a thorough visual inspection of all foundations, roof and chimney areas for possible structural defects that allow wild life access to the building. The list of factors that may provide long- term control such as sanitation and building repairs should be reviewed with the client at this time.
Wild animals will be drawn to those areas and structures that provide them with their needs for food, water and shelter. For example, garbage must always be placed inside heavy garbage cans with lids secured with shock cord or by a similar means to deny these animals access to the trash.
Nevertheless, most animals are opportunistic in establishing new nest locations, taking advantage of those buildings which allow animal's easy entry and bi-passing those tightly sealed structures that require excessive effort to gain entry.
These approaches can be accomplished via the use of different types of repellents, the use of live traps and where necessary and permitted.
Live trapping and removal services are probably the most common type of service performed by wild life damage professionals for infestations of tree squirrels, raccoons, skunks, opossums and woodchucks. Often, in fact, a wild animal needs removal from a building before any other steps can be implemented.

What Are Patents, Trademarks, Servicemarks, and Copyrights?
Some people confuse patents, copyrights, and trademarks.
Although there may be some similarities among these kinds of intellectual property protection, they are different and serve different purposes.
A patent for an invention is the grant of a property right to the inventor, issued by the Patent & Trademark Office (PTO). A patent for an invention is the grant of a property right to the inventor, issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Generally, the term of a new patent is 20 years from the date on which the application for the patent was filed in the United States or, in special cases, from the date an earlier related application was filed, subject to the payment of maintenance fees. U.S. patent grants are effective only within the United States, U.S. territories, and U.S. possessions. Under certain circumstances, patent term extensions or adjustments may be available. The right conferred by the patent grant is, in the language of the statute and of the grant itself, "the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling" the invention in the United States or "importing" the invention into the United States. What is granted is not the right to make, use, offer for sale, sell or import, but the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, selling or importing the invention. Once a patent is issued, the patentee must enforce the patent without aid of the USPTO.
The right conferred by the patent grant is, in the language of the statute and of the grant itself, "the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling" the invention in the United States or "importing" the invention into the United States. What is granted is not the right to make, use, offer for sale, sell or import, but the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, selling or importing the invention.
What Is a Trademark or Servicemark?
A trademark is a word, name, symbol or device which is used in trade with goods to indicate the source of the goods and to distinguish them from the goods of others. A servicemark is the same as a trademark except that it identifies and distinguishes the source of a service rather than a product. The terms "trademark" and "mark" are commonly used to refer to both trademarks and servicemarks.
Trademark rights may be used to prevent others from using a confusingly similar mark, but not to prevent others from making the same goods or from selling the same goods or services under a clearly different mark. Trademarks which are used in interstate or foreign commerce may be registered with the Patent and Trademark Office. The registration procedure for trademarks and general information concerning trademarks is described in a separate pamphlet entitled "Basic Facts about Trademarks".
What Is a Copyright?
Copyright is a form of protection provided to the authors of "original works of authorship" including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works, both published and unpublished. The 1976 Copyright Act generally gives the owner of copyright the exclusive right to reproduce the copyrighted work, to prepare derivative works, to distribute copies or phonorecords of the copyrighted work, to perform the copyrighted work publicly, or to display the copyrighted work publicly.
The copyright protects the form of expression rather than the subject matter of the writing. For example, a description of a machine could be copyrighted, but this would only prevent others from copying the description; it would not prevent others from writing a description of their own or from making and using the machine. Copyrights are registered by the Copyright Office of the Library of Congress.


I thought a mood board for my Jardin de Chinois wool and silk hand-knotted rug would be easy. I guess I was half right – there are so many beautiful products out there to choose from….the problem is that I have to whittle them down to a select few!
Wallpaper is a minefield….is that the right word?! I've pondered over the walls for our tiny front porch for what seems an excruciatingly long time – my excitement rises as I fall upon the perfect roll, then another comes along and I'm back to square one. It seems social media has given us the ultimate look book but with that power comes responsibility – one must develop a strong will to move on! Perhaps if I introduced a budget to my mood boards I would get them done a might quicker…..but that would be no fun!
Rather than go for the obvious beauty from De Gourney, I thought I would add a dash of sophisticated glamour to my scheme in the form of a geometric. I instinctively found myself drawn to a Chinoiserie Lattice design. This led me to F&B Enigma and Thibault too but in the end I plumped for the classic hexagon wallpaper by David Hicks. It's rather fabulous!
So easy to buy virtually! I can't help myself when it comes to lush colours in velvet, and that gold finger chair is absolutely gorgeous.
With soft, feminine edges on its curvaceous silhouette, this luxe respite pays homage to one of Vladimir Kagan's most iconic and sinuous designs. Featuring solid brass legs and ample room for seating, it's a natural place for conversations to flow as its unsurpassed visual energy enlivens your room. It comes in 4 delicious colours….kingfisher, charcoal and navy, along with this sumptuous green.
Oh my what a chair! Perched on a brass-finished base that offers a 360 degree view of your room, this feminine take on swivel seating is complete with button tufting and a plush, generous seat that easily complements your room's most modern pieces, lets hope this makes it to the UK, I have been on the search for the perfect pink velvet chair for some time now and this ticks all the boxes and more.
The 1920s antique floor lamp with flowers has been hand painted and holds a hand-dyed Chinoiserie Aviary silk lampshade. The lantern shaped shade is ombré dyed from orange to celadon to teal and has six panels with an abundance of birds and flowers of vintage hand embroidered appliqués with gold threads. The top of the lantern is covered with a rare antique Chinoiserie tulle from France and has ivory bird and leaf motifs. The shade has hand-beaded fringe in colorful matching tones. It lights up beautifully! A jewelled pull chain and six long tassels hang from the shade and complete the lamp.
These amazing lamps speak for themselves – how could one resist such beauty! I seriously recommend you check out her website – unsurprisingly, her clients include the rich and famous……as I said one can dream.
I love the eccentricity of this table, mixing up the chinoiserie of Jardin. This table possesses serious glamour and a beautiful side table is the perfect way to add radiance to your room.
How lovely are these, naturally you are most likely to require 2, either side of the mantle I think, I have never got round to proper grown up lighting but I think these with their aged gold ornate flourish would pick out the gold silk formJardin beautifully. The bulb bursts from the centre of opening leaves, bringing a warm burnish gold glow to your home.
