PLANNED PARENTHOOD FOUNDER BUSTED
Authors join black pastors in calling for Smithsonian to remove Margaret Sanger
Published: 10 hours ago
Margaret Sanger lobbying Congress, 1932
By Paul Bremmer
It may be uncomfortable for fans of Planned Parenthood, but it's true – Margaret Sanger, the legendary birth control activist, was a racial eugenicist who once spoke before the Ku Klux Klan.
The evidence is right there in her own memoir, according to Paul Kengor.
"These are the kind of great lengths to which liberals go to ignore the writings of their own icons," said Kengor, a professor and author of "Takedown: From Communists to Progressives, How the Left Has Sabotaged Family and Marriage." "Pages 366 and 367 of her memoirs, published by a top New York publishing house, she talks about her 1926 speech to the Silver Lake, New Jersey, women's chapter of the KKK. That's right – Margaret Sanger spoke to the KKK."
In an interview with WND, Kengor recounted Sanger's KKK experience as documented in her memoir.
"She describes the white hoods that come through, the flaming crosses that come through," Kengor recalled. "Then she gets up and speaks, and she spoke for so long and was such a hit that she didn't get finished until late at night. She also said a whole bunch of additional offers to speak were proffered by her enthusiastic audience, and she finished so late that she missed the train to go back to New York. She had to spend the night there.
"And people might wonder, why would the KKK invite Margaret Sanger? Because Margaret Sanger was a racial eugenicist. She spoke openly of race improvement."
This fact was not lost on a group of 10 black clergymen who now have sent a letter to the director of the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery requesting that a bust of Sanger be removed from the museum's "Struggle for Justice" exhibit.
"Ironically, Sanger's bust is featured in the NPG's 'Struggle for Justice' exhibit, alongside two of America's most celebrated and authentic champions of equal rights – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Rosa Parks," the pastors wrote. "If Sanger had her way, MLK and Rosa Parks would not have been born."
Neither would Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, a radio talk-show host, speaker, and WND columnist. Peterson said he agrees with the black pastors' demand to remove the Sanger bust.
"They should remove it because Margaret Sanger is presented as a civil-rights person, someone who was for the people and for freedom, and that wasn't the case at all," Peterson told WND in an interview. "Margaret Sanger believed in eugenics and she believed that black people were an underclass, they were having too many babies in the South and that they needed to be wiped out."
Peterson, author of the soon-to-be-released book "Antidote," charged Sanger's desire to control the black population led her to found the American Birth Control League, which later evolved into Planned Parenthood.
"She was a hardcore racist who hated black Americans, and unfortunately 70 percent of the Planned Parenthood abortion mills are in inner cities right now," Peterson noted. "[Sanger] was not about freedom for all people, and she wasn't a leader in the civil rights movement or an example for the civil rights movement."
Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue and a leading anti-abortion activist, also supports the removal of Sanger's likeness from the National Portrait Gallery.
"Her legacy has been one of disgusting racism and eugenics," Newman, author of "Abortion Free: Your Manual for Building a Pro-Life America One Community at a Time," said. "Most Americans do not understand that she was more closely associated with the ideology of the Nazis than a modern-day perspective of social justice. Reading through her writings and lectures one would easily find that she would be considered a despicable racist in today society."
Kengor certainly agrees, pointing out Sanger once used the phrase "Birth Control: To Create a Race of Thoroughbreds" as a masthead in an issue of her publication Birth Control Review. The professor also echoed Peterson's point that Planned Parenthood targets minority babies.
"Today her Planned Parenthood clinics abort a disproportionate number of unborn African-American babies," Kengor said. "And that's a hard fact for liberals to accept, and they refuse to accept, and they're right now yelling at their screen calling me names, but it's true. It's absolutely true. And it's horrible, it's disgusting, and it's downright evil."
"Evil" was the word Peterson also used to describe the Smithsonian Institution's decision to honor the racist Sanger alongside the likes of King and Parks, who fought for African-American rights. He also called it a "slap in the face" to all those who suffered and died for the freedom of black Americans.
Said Peterson: "I grew up in Alabama on a plantation down there under Jim Crow laws, and to see [Sanger] standing there alongside people like that as though she was part of the civil rights movement is really – it's evil. It's pretty evil."

Sec. Clinton Stands By Her Praise of Eugenicist Margaret Sanger
1:25 PM, APR 15, 2009 •
BY KEVIN VANCE
Last month, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accepted Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger Award, named after the founder of the American Birth Control League, which changed its name to Planned Parenthood in the 1940s.
In her remarks, Clinton singled out the namesake of the award for praise:
Now, I have to tell you that it was a great privilege when I was told that I would receive this award. I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision ... And when I think about what she did all those years ago in Brooklyn, taking on archetypes, taking on attitudes and accusations flowing from all directions, I am really in awe of her.
Clinton lamented that "Margaret Sanger's work here in the United States and certainly across our globe is not done."
Here at home, there are still too many women who are denied their rights because of income, because of opposition, because of attitudes that they harbor. But around the world, too many women are denied even the opportunity to know about how to plan and space their families. They're denied the power to do anything about the most intimate of decisions.
Mrs. Sanger, of course, wasn't the benevolent advocate for human rights that Clinton's remarks make her out to be. In fact, Sanger's "vision" for birth control seems to be united to a eugenic vision. In the October 1921 issue of The Birth Control Review, Sanger wrote that "the campaign for Birth Control is not merely of eugenic value, but is practically identical in ideal with the final aim of Eugenics."

Wharton Stories » Tackling Issues Beyond Business
Tackling Issues Beyond Business
In an expansion of Wharton's successful Tarnopol Lecture Series, Dean Erika James is meeting with business leaders to host candid conversations on the urgent, far-reaching issues challenging our world today — starting with the topic of race.
Dean Erika James' new ongoing discussion series "Beyond Business" is spotlighting the complex, pressing issues impacting organizations across the U.S.
In the first three lectures on LinkedIn Live — "Race & The Entrepreneur," "Race & The Selling of America," and "Race & Corporate Power" — Dean James is joining business leaders across sectors to discuss topics such as the impact of systematic racism on Black entrepreneurs, the evolving role of Black culture and activism in marketing, and the impact firms can deliver through diversity and philanthropic commitments.
We spoke with the dean ahead of the inaugural lecture to learn more about how the series came together, and the importance of addressing these issues before a national audience.
What was the thought process behind the name "Beyond Business"?
Whether one is in education, healthcare, government, or the arts, a fundamental understanding of business basics matters. Just like knowing which organizational structures will lead to efficiencies and effective outcomes and understanding how money flows in an organization is critical to business results, so too does a keen insight into the people and interpersonal dynamics that comprise an organization and its stakeholders. In our country, and in many societies around the world, race factors into how we engage with and respond to experiences and outcomes across all sectors.
As a business school, we have a responsibility to provide the tools that will allow future leaders the ability to listen, talk, and learn from the experiences of others when it comes to race and its impact.
Why is it important to talk about race right now?
I think our biggest issue around race is that we are still uncomfortable having a candid discussion about it without feeling fearful or offended. As a result, we generally avoid the topic altogether. Letting something fester, or assuming malintent from the silence, is dangerous and I think we see the implications of our inability to talk productively about race playing out in the increasing polarization of the country.
"What and whose expertise is engaged, and what voices are not being heard, matters."
What does Wharton bring to the table in this discussion?
Our faculty are grounded in using data in a way that informs meaningful and complex business and societal questions. Race can often be emotionally-laden, and Wharton can offer an evidenced-based and therefore dispassionate way of studying race in organizations and in translating that scholarship to the curriculum. As the country's largest business school, with reach from pre-college students to C-suite executives, we can inform and influence a broad group of students and other stakeholders.
Why a LinkedIn lecture series?
A lecture series is the best of all worlds. It allows us to leverage the expertise of our faculty not only for the benefit of Wharton students (both undergraduate and graduate) but to also engage with a national or even global audience. With a class, students can get so caught up in the academic aspects that they don't truly experience the discussion. We are fortunate to have incredible faculty at Wharton who teach classes on diversity, inclusive of race, but as with most popular classes we can't always meet the student demand.
Are you concerned about discussing such difficult topics in a public forum? What motivates you to push forward?
As a new leader of a very prominent and storied institution like Wharton, I know that I have entered a highly public situation. That I am also a "first" in this role means there will be even more scrutiny. So to talk openly about a topic like race, for which I don't fully understand the history within the School, and to be in a moment in time where there is considerable emotion around race, feels a little scary. Yet this is what it means to step into leadership — doing the hard things because you know it will make the organization better.
My goal is to identify the unique ways in which Wharton can advance the dialogue and address some of the complexities about race and diversity both in our school and in our scholarship. I'm comforted in knowing that I have supporters, colleagues, students and alumni who care about these issues and want and expect Wharton to lead in this effort.
How has your own research prepared you for this moment?
It's really uncanny that I would be appointed dean at this moment, in the midst of racial unrest and a growing awareness of inequity in this country as well as in the midst of the COVID crisis. My research from the time I left graduate school has focused on these two exact areas: diversity and crisis leadership.
When I was pursuing my PhD, I was eager to use my research to explain phenomena that I observed in organizations — mainly that women and minorities were promoted at a slower rate than white men. This line of research has allowed me to have a sensitivity for the more subtle ways in which inequity plays out in organizations. It's not always about blatant discrimination, but often more invisible structures and patterns that lead to different experiences. I have worked to foster environments, cultures, and systems that promote inclusion, equity, and positive work relationships. Unless everyone is able to fully participate and be valued at work, an organization can't truly be competitive — we run the risk of leaving talent on the table. My job at Wharton is to ensure we capitalize on all the talent that exists within our students, faculty, and staff.
"This is what it means to step into leadership — doing the hard things because you know it will make the organization better."
What and whose expertise is engaged, and what voices are not being heard, matters. My research on crisis leadership has shown that people's tendency during a crisis is to become more insular and limited in information gathering and sharing. I've tried to show that opening up to a more diverse array of information rather than relying solely on one source of input is likely to yield better outcomes in decision-making (e.g. engaging not only with legal counsel, but Human Resources, customer input, and Public Relations, etc.) Finally, leaders have a responsibility to learn from the crisis once it has been resolved. This is ultimately what helps organizations continue to thrive.
These are some of the lessons that I have been trying to heed from my research as I now lead Wharton through the pandemic. It is a difficult time for all of us and things have changed dramatically in ways that are disappointing, but I am supremely confident in the leadership that exists throughout Wharton and know that we will thrive in the midst of and throughout this crisis.

TBT – Jazz Musicians We've Loved
It's Just Around The Corner…The Next Season Of Game Of Thrones…But Who Is The Main Character?
Here's Why You Suck At Rock-Paper-Scissors
Published by Kirstin Wright at April 28, 2016
Kirstin Wright
This Saturday (4/30) is international jazz day. It's the one day of the year when the world comes together to honor one of the most complex musical styles. To get some inspiration on how you'll celebrate, let's take a look back at some of the most famous jazz musicians that we've lost over the years.
Louis Armstrong is who many people think of first when they hear jazz. Out of all of the jazz musicians who have played the trumpet, Armstrong is probably the most famous. With a career that spanned five decades, Armstrong entertained audiences around the world, not only with his trumpet, but with his scat singing as well. It's his distinctive, gravelly voice that truly transcends time, though. Whether you're watching a movie and hear "What a Wonderful World" or are sitting around the Christmas tree and "Baby, It's Cold Outside" comes on, you immediately know it's Louis Armstrong.
Another famous trumpeter, Miles Davis was one of the biggest innovators in the jazz scene during the 20th century. He, and the musical groups he was a member of, came up with things like bebop and cool jazz. Although Davis passed away in 1991, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 because he was such an influential person in the jazz community. He was a member of some of the first great jazz quintets and sextets. "King of Blue," however, is probably what Davis is best known for, as it is considered his great work.
Although her real name was Eleanora Fagan, Billie seemed to fit her style and personality way better. Holiday left her mark on jazz and pop music by changing what people thought they knew about tempo and phrasing. In fact, the way she sang in her songs was inspired by the way jazz musicians play. She rose from performing at clubs around Harlem, to selling out Carnegie Hall and signing contracts with major record labels like Columbia Records. Sadly, the final years of her life were filled with drug and alcohol abuse. Her voice was never quite the same after she struggled with these substances, but her legend will never be forgotten.
Although Dizzy was just a nickname, with the kind of melodies he played, there was no way people could call him a plain name like John Birks with a straight face. Names like Davis or Armstrong are who modern trumpeters oftentimes try to emulate because Dizzy's playing style was so complex. It's not every day that someone develops a style like that. Gillespie only sang occasionally in order to fully let his trumpet shine. Another way he influenced jazz was by promoting the Afro-Cuban music scene. By bringing Afro-Cuban rhythms into jazz, he created a sound all his own that further influenced future jazz musicians.
Out of all of the great jazz musicians we've lost, who is your favorite?

10mins Justice R.F. Nariman recuses from hearing Mallya's plea
Fair reporting demands appropriate words
FROM THE READERS' EDITOR Readers' Editor
A.S. Panneerselvan

Updated: June 30, 2019 22:58 IST
Why the media uses the term Dalit
Some issues tend to keep surfacing, no matter how many times you address them. On August 20, 2018, I wrote a column, "Why context matters", to explain why news reports use the term 'Dalit'. When the Information and Broadcasting (I&B) Ministry issued an absurd advisory to the media in 2018 on the use of the term Dalit, this newspaper carried an informed editorial, "What's in a name?" (September 6), which once again explained not only the rationale but also the ethical imperatives for using the term.
Yet, recently, a reader, Tarun Pal, wrote an angry letter to us asking why The Hindu, an English language newspaper, uses the term Dalit, a Hindi word, and not Scheduled Caste. Mr. Pal argued that if the idea is to describe the daily ordeals of a section of people, it would be prudent to name the specific community rather than use the general term Dalit. Another reader, Mahesh P. Padukone, wondered about the efficacy of using the term. He wrote: "Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal stating that 'Fifty two per cent of Dalit respondents feared their caste would be 'outed' and 67% said they faced discrimination at the workplace' in the U.S. is far-fetched because I seriously doubt an American even knows or cares about 'Brahmins', 'Dalits', 'Adivasis'... For them, it's an 'Indian' without the ramifications of caste."
This brings us back to the question, is the word Dalit used without any application of mind? Is it discriminatory? How did the change happen from Mahatma Gandhi's Harijan to Dalit? And where does the official term Scheduled Caste fit into this narrative?
Eminent economist and former chairman of the University Grants Commission, Sukhadeo Thorat, in his book, Dalits in India: Search for a Common Destiny, explained the significance of the term Dalit. He said that this term was invoked in a conscious manner in 1932 when B.R. Ambedkar worked out the Poona Pact with Congress leaders to secure reserved seats for the depressed classes to the provincial legislatures and the Central Legislature. Mr. Thorat argued that the term Scheduled Caste is a legally defined category, but that the media and academics can use other words to capture the context and problems faced by communities. He also made it clear that Dalit is a Marathi word, and means the oppressed and resourceless.
Scholars have also consistently argued that the term Scheduled Caste remains neutral, while the term Dalit provides the cultural and political context to the struggles of a people. In this newspaper, the academic Ananya Vajpeyi wrote an article, "A modern-day enlightenment" (April 17, 2014), explaining some of these contentious issues. She cited D.R. Nagaraj's influential essay, "Self-Purification v/s Self-Respect: On the Roots of the Dalit Movement" to make several points: "First, that it was Gandhi who initially grasped untouchability as a political problem (albeit his own concerns were spiritual and not material); second, that Gandhi and Ambedkar debated their divergent approaches to the problem of untouchability in a vigorous manner both before and after the Poona Pact of 1932; and third, that by the end of their long encounter with one another, Gandhi and Ambedkar had internalised one another's ideas." She examined how Nagaraj explained the difference between Harijan and Dalit as the "difference between the caste Hindu's struggle for self-purification and the outcaste's struggle for self-respect" because the "self" in the two situations is not the same.
Pregnant with meaning
History apart, the Press Council of India, the statutory body that regulates the print media, has ruled that there cannot be a ban on the use of the word Dalit in the media. When the I&B Ministry advisory, which was based on an order of the Bombay High Court, was issued, the regulatory body said: "Our reading of the Bombay High Court order is that it did not seek a ban on the word 'Dalit'. We deliberated on the order and have come to the conclusion that it is advisable not to issue directions/orders prohibiting the use of word Dalit."
This newspaper is alive to the fact that the term Dalit is "pregnant with meaning, reflecting the struggle of a community to reassert its identity and lay claim to the rights that were denied to them for centuries". Hence, it becomes the duty of the media to use it.

It's never too early to start teaching your kids good financial habits and the teen years are a great time to introduce them to the basics. Setting your teenager up with a bank account of their own is an important first step in building smart money management skills. While you could go with a traditional checking or savings there are plenty of banks that offer accounts specifically for middle and high school students. If you're shopping around for a teen bank account here are some tips for finding the right fit.
Related: Which Checking Account is Best for Me?
Not all banks offer accounts to teens and those that do may have specific guidelines regarding who can open an account. Some banks, for example, limit eligibility to teens over a certain age. Others may require one or both parents to act as co-signers on the account or be current bank customers if the teen is under age 18. This effectively serves as protection for the bank if your teen overdraws their account.
Beyond the legal rules, parents also need to consider the financial requirements for opening and maintaining a teen account. Depending on the bank, your teen may be able to set up a checking or savings account with as little as $1. You should also look at whether there are any ongoing balance requirements for the type of account you're planning to open.
Fees can easily eat up your teen's balance if they're not careful so it helps to know what kinds of things the bank may charge them for. While minors won't be charged overdraft fees, they could still get hit with minimum balance fees, check fees, debit card fees, statement fees and monthly maintenance fees. Ideally, you should look for a bank that charges as few fees as possible to help keep costs down.
If you're planning on getting your teen a debit or ATM card that's linked to your account you should make sure they're aware of what the cost is for using it. While they won't be charged a fee for making withdrawals at their bank, they could get hit with as much as $5 to $10 in fees for using a foreign ATM.
Many banks offer a variety of free services to their customers and you'll want to find out if any of these perks extend to teen accounts. Things like online bill pay, text alerts and mobile banking services can help make it easier for your child to keep up with their cash any time and anyplace.
Some banks also offer free financial education resources and budgeting tools for teens which can help them get prepared for managing their own money. While it may be more difficult to find, you should also check to see whether any banks in your area offer interest-bearing checking accounts for teens. The rate may be low but every penny counts and it can add up over time.
Some banks may offer special incentives just for teens to encourage them to practice good financial and educational habits. For example, certain banks feature a cash for grades program that rewards students for doing well in school. Your teen just has to show the bank a copy of their report card and the bonus money will be automatically deposited into their account.
If you have an older teen, you may want to look for a bank that specializes in offering car loans for young adults. These programs are designed to make it easier for teens with little or no credit history to qualify for a loan at a reasonable interest rate. Depending on the bank, your child may have to take a financial education course as part of the application process but it's a good opportunity for them to learn about the responsibility of borrowing money.
Choosing a bank account for your teen really isn't that different from finding an account for yourself. The most important things to keep in mind are what benefits it offers and what the potential costs are. Guiding your child through the process of setting up an account and teaching them how to use it can get them off to a solid financial start.

Google is turning Stranger Things characters into adorable augmented reality stickers
By Adi Robertson@thedextriarchy Oct 4, 2017, 1:23pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Google is turning Stranger Things characters into adorable augmented reality stickers
Google is adding augmented reality stickers for the Pixel, including official collections based on Stranger Things and Star Wars, among other franchises. The company says its Pixel 2 phones' cameras are specifically optimized and calibrated for high-quality augmented reality, and it showed this off at today's event with a variety of AR apps. One lets you watch League of Legends in augmented reality, and another lets you play with augmented reality Legos, similar to an app that already exists for Google's Daydream VR platform.
Exclusive first look at the Google Pixel 2 and 2 XL
In AR Stickers, character stickers can interact with each other — if you put Stranger Things heroine Eleven in a scene with her nemesis the Demogorgon, for example, she'll quickly vanquish it. You can record these little scenes and send them to friends, in addition to watching them in real time.
ARCore was announced in late August, and it's similar to Apple's ARKit: a software platform that makes it easier for developers to build their own augmented reality apps. A preview version is available on the Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, and Google intends to support 100 million Android devices at a later, official launch date.
For an exclusive look at all the new Google devices announced, check out our interview with CEO Sundar Pichai.

PATENT SUPPRESSION - No Longer 'Conspiracy Theory' - Addressing Several Legal Codes Designed to C_nsor New Inventions
Do you remember all the TV shows and entertainment that featured visions of a future with flying cars, casual space travel, and advanced energy technology? Programming like that was common during the 1980s and 90s, and in many ways, it's still around today. But what happened to that future? Why is it that these numerous developments were clearly in the minds of past visionaries, and yet virtually none of these advancements appear to have come to pass?
There may actually be a reason for this apparent gap between human imagination and technological development.
Some may assume that as of right now, we as a society are not yet capable of developing the space-aged technologies we envisioned when we were younger, but what if this weren't the case? What if a good portion of the advanced future we once looked forward to already existed, but that the general public simply wasn't allowed to see or experience it (aside from their smartphones, flat-screens, and voice-command technology, that is)?
According to numerous whistleblowers, this is our exact situation.
We have heard rumors and testimonies about how the United States Patent and Trademark Office has been compromised toward the interests of several super-wealthy mega-corporations. We may have further heard that Big Oil and Big Energy have brought the advancement of many technologies to a screeching halt and have prevented any new developments in energy or transportation from usurping their own economic dominance over the world. And unfortunately, this motivation of greed has converted the official patent process into a stop block of technological development.
This compromise has actually caused the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to forgo their regular duties and to, instead, work toward the profit margins of a few mega-corporations. It has also lead to numerous advanced, viable, and beneficial patents being denied and even blocked from ever reaching the public. These rumors seem to be logical concerns for the general public, but is there any evidence that supports these claims?
As it turns out, there very much is.
Dimensions of Disclosure 2019 – "Space Force and Official Disclosure of the USAF Secret Space Program" with Dr. Michael Salla
Throughout recent history, there have been numerous disclosures about many questionable actions the U.S. government has taken. These actions were even documented and kept in historical records. However, instead of admitting these criminal actions to the public and facing justice, the government officials responsible concealed and classified these records under the guise of protecting national security. (In reality, they were likely only protecting themselves from prison.)
Operations such as Operation Northwoods and projects such as MKULTRA included gross violations of human rights and yet no one was allowed to know about these atrocities until roughly 50 years later. According to documentation, the parties responsible for these crimes knew that what they were doing was extremely amoral, yet instead of ending these programs, they continued and eventually completed their respective projects. And to make certain that no one learned of their crimes, they used government classification to bury their deeds.
If these agencies could commit such crimes against humanity while documenting and admitting their own guilt and then use government processes to conceal their crimes, it is not difficult to imagine the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office using their influence to aid certain corporations in order to control various industries to their own advantage.
The true motives behind this type of corruption can be fairly complex. Therefore, further discussion is better left to another article. For now, here is Cornell University with the specific laws which have, in the past, allowed certain corporate interests to manipulate government processes for financial gain.

35 U.S. Code § 181.Secrecy of certain inventions and withholding of patent
Whenever publication or disclosure by the publication of an application or by the grant of a patent on an invention in which the Government has a property interest might, in the opinion of the head of the interested Government agency, be detrimental to the national security, the Commissioner of Patents upon being so notified shall order that the invention be kept secret and shall withhold the publication of the application or the grant of a patent therefor under the conditions set forth hereinafter.
Whenever the publication or disclosure of an invention by the publication of an application or by the granting of a patent, in which the Government does not have a property interest, might, in the opinion of the Commissioner of Patents, be detrimental to the national security, he shall make the application for patent in which such invention is disclosed available for inspection to the Atomic Energy Commission, the Secretary of Defense, and the chief officer of any other department or agency of the Government designated by the President as a defense agency of the United States.
Each individual to whom the application is disclosed shall sign a dated acknowledgment thereof, which acknowledgment shall be entered in the file of the application. If, in the opinion of the Atomic Energy Commission, the Secretary of a Defense Department, or the chief officer of another department or agency so designated, the publication or disclosure of the invention by the publication of an application or by the granting of a patent therefor would be detrimental to the national security, the Atomic Energy Commission, the Secretary of a Defense Department, or such other chief officer shall notify the Commissioner of Patents and the Commissioner of Patents shall order that the invention be kept secret and shall withhold the publication of the application or the grant of a patent for such period as the national interest requires, and notify the applicant thereof.
Upon proper showing by the head of the department or agency who caused the secrecy order to be issued that the examination of the application might jeopardize the national interest, the Commissioner of Patents shall thereupon maintain the application in a sealed condition and notify the applicant thereof. The owner of an application which has been placed under a secrecy order shall have a right to appeal from the order to the Secretary of Commerce under rules prescribed by him.
An invention shall not be ordered kept secret and the publication of the application or the grant of a patent withheld for a period of more than one year. The Commissioner of Patents shall renew the order at the end thereof, or at the end of any renewal period, for additional periods of one year upon notification by the head of the department or the chief officer of the agency who caused the order to be issued that an affirmative determination has been made that the national interest continues so to require.
An order in effect, or issued, during a time when the United States is at war, shall remain in effect for the duration of hostilities and one year following cessation of hostilities. An order in effect, or issued, during a national emergency declared by the President shall remain in effect for the duration of the national emergency and six months thereafter. The Commissioner of Patents may rescind any order upon notification by the heads of the departments and the chief officers of the agencies who caused the order to be issued that the publication or disclosure of the invention is no longer deemed detrimental to the national security.
35 U.S. Code § 182.Abandonment of invention for unauthorized disclosure
The invention disclosed in an application for patent subject to an order made pursuant to section 181 may be held abandoned upon its being established by the Commissioner of Patents that in violation of said order the invention has been published or disclosed or that an application for a patent therefor has been filed in a foreign country by the inventor, his successors, assigns, or legal representatives, or anyone in privity with him or them, without the consent of the Commissioner of Patents. The abandonment shall be held to have occurred as of the time of violation. The consent of the Commissioner of Patents shall not be given without the concurrence of the heads of the departments and the chief officers of the agencies who caused the order to be issued. A holding of abandonment shall constitute forfeiture by the applicant, his successors, assigns, or legal representatives, or anyone in privity with him or them, of all claims against the United States based upon such invention.
35 U.S. Code § 183.Right to compensation
An applicant, his successors, assigns, or legal representatives, whose patent is withheld as herein provided, shall have the right, beginning at the date the applicant is notified that, except for such order, his application is otherwise in condition for allowance, or February 1, 1952, whichever is later, and ending six years after a patent is issued thereon, to apply to the head of any department or agency who caused the order to be issued for compensation for the damage caused by the order of secrecy and/or for the use of the invention by the Government, resulting from his disclosure. The right to compensation for use shall begin on the date of the first use of the invention by the Government.
USAF DISCLOSURES - Recently Retired Air Force General Makes Astounding Claims about Hyper-Advanced Space Technology
The head of the department or agency is authorized, upon the presentation of a claim, to enter into an agreement with the applicant, his successors, assigns, or legal representatives, in full settlement for the damage and/or use. This settlement agreement shall be conclusive for all purposes notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary. If full settlement of the claim cannot be effected, the head of the department or agency may award and pay to such applicant, his successors, assigns, or legal representatives, a sum not exceeding 75 per centum of the sum which the head of the department or agency considers just compensation for the damage and/or use.
A claimant may bring suit against the United States in the United States Court of Federal Claims or in the District Court of the United States for the district in which such claimant is a resident for an amount which when added to the award shall constitute just compensation for the damage and/or use of the invention by the Government. The owner of any patent issued upon an application that was subject to a secrecy order issued pursuant to section 181, who did not apply for compensation as above provided, shall have the right, after the date of issuance of such patent, to bring suit in the United States Court of Federal Claims for just compensation for the damage caused by reason of the order of secrecy and/or use by the Government of the invention resulting from his disclosure.
The right to compensation for use shall begin on the date of the first use of the invention by the Government. In a suit under the provisions of this section the United States may avail itself of all defenses it may plead in an action under section 1498 of title 28. This section shall not confer a right of action on anyone or his successors, assigns, or legal representatives who, while in the full-time employment or service of the United States, discovered, invented, or developed the invention on which the claim is based.
35 U.S. Code § 184.Filing of application in foreign country
(a)Filing in Foreign Country.—
Except when authorized by a license obtained from the Commissioner of Patents a person shall not file or cause or authorize to be filed in any foreign country prior to six months after filing in the United States an application for patent or for the registration of a utility model, industrial design, or model in respect of an invention made in this country. A license shall not be granted with respect to an invention subject to an order issued by the Commissioner of Patents pursuant to section 181 without the concurrence of the head of the departments and the chief officers of the agencies who caused the order to be issued. The license may be granted retroactively where an application has been filed abroad through error and the application does not disclose an invention within the scope of section 181.
(b)Application.—
The term "application" when used in this chapter includes applications and any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto, or divisions thereof.
(c)Subsequent Modifications, Amendments, and Supplements.—
The scope of a license shall permit subsequent modifications, amendments, and supplements containing additional subject matter if the application upon which the request for the license is based is not, or was not, required to be made available for inspection under section 181 and if such modifications, amendments, and supplements do not change the general nature of the invention in a manner which would require such application to be made available for inspection under such section 181. In any case in which a license is not, or was not, required in order to file an application in any foreign country, such subsequent modifications, amendments, and supplements may be made, without a license, to the application filed in the foreign country if the United States application was not required to be made available for inspection under section 181 and if such modifications, amendments, and supplements do not, or did not, change the general nature of the invention in a manner which would require the United States application to have been made available for inspection under such section 181.
35 U.S. Code § 185.Patent barred for filing without license
Notwithstanding any other provisions of law any person, and his successors, assigns, or legal representatives, shall not receive a United States patent for an invention if that person, or his successors, assigns, or legal representatives shall, without procuring the license prescribed in section 184, have made, or consented to or assisted another's making, application in a foreign country for a patent or for the registration of a utility model, industrial design, or model in respect of the invention. A United States patent issued to such person, his successors, assigns, or legal representatives shall be invalid, unless the failure to procure such license was through error, and the patent does not disclose subject matter within the scope of section 181.
35 U.S. Code § 186.Penalty
Whoever, during the period or periods of time an invention has been ordered to be kept secret and the grant of a patent thereon withheld pursuant to section 181, shall, with knowledge of such order and without due authorization, willfully publish or disclose or authorize or cause to be published or disclosed the invention, or material information with respect thereto, or whoever willfully, in violation of the provisions of section 184, shall file or cause or authorize to be filed in any foreign country an application for patent or for the registration of a utility model, industrial design, or model in respect of any invention made in the United States, shall, upon conviction, be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned for not more than two years, or both.
35 U.S. Code § 187. Nonapplicability to certain persons
The prohibitions and penalties of this chapter shall not apply to any officer or agent of the United States acting within the scope of his authority, nor to any person acting upon his written instructions or permission.
35 U.S. Code § 188.Rules and regulations, delegation of power
The Atomic Energy Commission, the Secretary of a defense department, the chief officer of any other department or agency of the Government designated by the President as a defense agency of the United States, and the Secretary of Commerce, may separately issue rules and regulations to enable the respective department or agency to carry out the provisions of this chapter, and may delegate any power conferred by this chapter.

Strictly for the Birds: The La Conner Birding Showcase
Posted on : January 29, 2018 By Joel Askey
Classes and Workshops Community Events Photography Skagit Art Music Local Venues
We in the Skagit Valley are privy to one of the best environments in North America to experience wild birds. Besides the year-round residents such as bald eagles, owls, herons, and seabirds, regular visitors appear every winter: snow geese and trumpeter swans.
It's no secret that birdwatchers consider our area a mecca. So it's no surprise that on the weekend of January 27 and 28th, the town of La Conner hosted an event for birding enthusiasts: The La Conner Birding Showcase, held at Maple Hall. Being a rather devoted wildlife photographer myself, I grabbed my camera and notebook and hot-footed it over!
From 11 AM until 3 PM, the exhibit hall was ringed with booths featuring a variety of organizations and vendors. Those represented included the Skagit County Audubon Society, Pamela Headridge Photography, Skagit County Historical Museum, the Quilts and Fiber Arts Museum, the Northwest Swan Conservation Association, Wild Birds Unlimited, and videographer Bob Hamblin.
What caught my eye first was the fluttering of wings – two exhibitors from Airstrike Bird Control, Inc. were holding raptors on their gloved hands. The first handler, Sue Hanneman, was holding a Harris's hawk, a lovely reddish-brown bird native to the southwestern U.S. Airstrike offers "abatement services" – sort of a "rent-a-raptor" business. The hawks and humans team up to rid industrial areas of nuisance birds. The humans remove the nests, and the hawks provide a scary deterrent – problem solved!
Sue's associate, Caitlyn O'Neill, also an amateur falconer, stood nearby with two birds: a red-tailed hawk and a gyrfalcon/peregrine hybrid. Needless to say, seeing these animals up close is impressive. Caitlyn explained the licensing necessary to acquire, breed, and use the animals in a business setting, and the process of training them while still retaining their wild behaviors.
She scratched her hawk on its belly feathers which the bird seemed to like. Caitlyn informed me that if a raptor doesn't like what you're doing to it, the bird will grasp your finger or arm in its talons and squeeze, similar to the death grip it applies to a small rodent.
Caitlyn explained that the raptor population is susceptible to poisoning sometimes from lead shot used by hunters, and described that education is necessary to help combat this threat.
Next, I got a swan identification tip or two from Megan Kirkpatrick of the Northwest Swan Conservation Association. Although most migratory swans in our area are trumpeter swans, with the familiar honking sound, we also get visited by the tundra swan in smaller numbers. The tundra swan has a yellow marking around the base of the bill, and its vocalization has been compared to laughing children.
The photos by Pamela Headridge were in theme with the rest of the exhibit: great shots of snow geese and trumpeter swans in our farmlands and wetlands. Pamela also contributed artwork as part of the 2015 La Conner Daffodil Festival. She won that year's photo contest with a spectacular shot of snow geese in flight over a blooming field of daffodils.
By 3 PM, the hall was converted into a presentation space for a slide show by Paul Bannick, photographer and author. Paul discussed the diverse world of North American owls. Besides having many great images of owls to show, there was a soundtrack of their calls playing behind his talk. Paul clearly had the audience captivated as he discussed the intricate habitat needs of our native owl species. There was a large sold out crowd for Paul's talk. His presentations seemed to have many repeat attendees.
All in all, this was a great way to break up a cold windy winter afternoon, both educational, fun, and inspirational.

The data visualized here was compiled from Apartment List's monthly rent reports. See an interactive chart below. Kailan Manandic / data illustration
Eastside rental market could balance out with the region
Eastside rent medians increased by 2.8 in the past year, a decrease in growth from previous years.
by Kailan Manandic
Wednesday, May 8, 2019 8:30am
As the greater Seattle area continues a population boom the latest rent reports show developers have kept up with demand as overall rent growth begins to balance out.
Seattle proper experienced a 1 percent rent growth over the past year, lower than nearly all Eastside cities along with the state and national averages according to Apartment List, a national company that provides renters with market trends. The company compiles monthly reports on numerous cities throughout the country and sources its data to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey and combines that with its own listing to avoid sample biases that may skew toward luxury apartments.
The full methodology can be reviewed at https://www.apartmentlist.com/rentonomics/apartment-list-new-rent-methodology/. While the provided data covers most Eastside cities, the monthly reports excluded Issaquah and Snoqualmie.
"We're essentially the nation's fastest growing rental platform," said Chris Salviati, housing economist at apartment list. "Throughout Seattle is a slowdown [of rate increase] across the greater metro area, and we saw that start in 2018."
The Eastside as a whole maintains a growth rate of 2.8 percent between April 2018 and April 2019 — more than a percentage point above the Seattle rate at 1 percent, Washington rate at 1.7 percent and national rate at 1.5 percent. Mercer Island is a driving factor in the growth rate with the highest in the region, tripling most rates at 7.3 percent.
Overall, the Eastside's growth rates have been on the decline, along with the region since 2018. Salviati credits that to developers throughout the region who have kept up with demand as new workers flood Seattle's growing tech hub.
"We tend to think of this in a supply and demand framework," Salviati said. "Demand being people looking for housing — which is closely intertwined with the job market — and the supply side is how developers respond with the construction of new housing. What we see in the Seattle region is an appropriate response on the supply side."
Essentially, as new construction stays healthy in the region, along with the economy, the renting market will eventually balance out to a healthy 1 to 2 percent, according to Salviati. However, rental rates tend to fluctuate in cycles with macro-economic conditions and will likely change drastically with the next recession.
While this lowering rate is mostly good news for renters in the region — compared to previously seen 8- to 10-percent jumps in rent that could instantly price people out of their homes — rent medians are still increasing overall and supply has not caught up enough to significantly help the affordable housing crisis.
"The response [from developers] has tempered that increase we saw in 2015, 2016 and 2017, which is good news for renters," Salviati said. "The economy is really strong right now, Seattle will continue to be a place to thrive. But as the overall national economy at some point recedes, that's when you usually tend to see prices dip [with] weaker macro-economic conditions… But this is definitely a positive sign that [the rent rate] leveling out."
At the end of April, Mercer Island held the highest median rent on the Eastside with $2,050 for a one-bedroom apartment and $2,550 for a two-bedroom, increasing from March by 1.6 percent.
Second highest was Bellevue with a $1,900 one-bedroom median and a $2,370 two-bedroom median. That is up 0.4 percent from March.
Redmond came in at third highest, closing the month with medians of $1,820 for one bedroom and $2,270 for two bedrooms — up 1.7 percent from March.
On the north Eastside, Bothell and Kenmore took the fourth- and fifth-highest rent in April with a $1,780 one-bedroom and $2,220 two-bedroom median for the former and a $1,680 one-bedroom and $2,090 two-bedroom median for the latter. Bothell saw a 1.5 percent increase from March while Kenmore only increased by 0.5 percent.
Kirkland was close behind Kenmore, holding a 1.3 percent increase from March, ending April with a $1,670 median for one bedroom and equaling Kenmore's $2,090 median for two bedrooms.

Happy summer everyone! We have reached the end. My door now says "1 day left". It feels like forever ago that I made this door decoration. Truly, it feels like another lifetime. Or maybe I've aged over a year in three weeks.
At any rate, I'm going to take a break from blogging for a while to allow my brain and heart to finally process the loss of my sister; something I've yet had a chance to really do. It's easy to be in denial when you have a zillion things to do. But I just finished them. One more day of partying at Valley Fair, and it's "adios" to students and school for the summer.
Before I go, I did promise and update on the tetrahedron project. And here it is. We made it!!! Starting from the first Stage 2, created by my buddy Gus, which inspired a whole heap of students to want to jump on board. We read a good chunk of the book, we cut and folded and taped and glued and assembled... and covered the desks and carpet in sticky hot glue wads in the process. Oh well. It was FUN! And it looks amazing.
Here was the original, complete with themes from the book on each Stage 1 set of mini-tetrahedrons. It took a month of complete the book, figure out the concept, and buy a hot glue gun to construct, but it finally got done!
A cute little baby Stage 1 tetrahedron. We made lots and lots and lots of these.
Stage 2 tetrahedron. (4 to the 2nd power = 16 tetrahedrons) These required more patience and more hands and a much bigger mess of glue to clean up.
Viola! Stage 4 Tetrahedron! We rock.
Now let's be really cool and hang it inverted from the ceiling. And then pretend we're super strong and holding it up with one finger.
And then lay on the floor and look at it from underneath.
And then sign off for the summer, with the afternoon sun rays catching the faces just right to make it look like an optical illusion. So proud of my 7th graders. I will miss you this summer! Come back and visit!
To eliminate a lot of the mess, cutting and gluing stuff, in making tetrahedra, you might try folding them from circles, www.wholemovement.com Go to the How to Fold Circles page for instructions and other geometric forms from the same folded net pattern.


today, our experts teach you how to deal with people who make you headache of items such as: old shoes, old mattresses and so on.
you have a double or a heap old of are sorry donated to charity institutions of sneakers does? usually, Big companies like Nike will recycle it through its recycling agencies sell any shoes, you can get any shoes a Nike shop. These old shoes will be recycled into the company sports ground, such as basketball courts, tennis courts, playgrounds and so on. Now, they are built with these recycled shoes sports ground in New Orleans. So far, it has about 20 million pairs of athletic shoes in the world through such bodies were recovered.
in many places, mattresses cannot be recycled, can hardly be discarded, some charities such as Goodwill, often refuse to accept them. However, keep in mind that recovery there is a similar word is used. If your old mattress is also available, so you can in the Freecycle Network to find a "new home". This site is like a flea market, or that you don't want useless people, in the eyes of others may be a treasure, on the contrary, you can also find many good things.
do you know how to get rid of those bad back from the dry cleaners with wire hangers? some dry cleaners recycle and reuse them, some tailors will be happy to accept them. So, what about take back plastic bags from the dry cleaner? some dry cleaners recycle them, but you have a lot of other ways, but first, frequented by all the friends noticed the dry cleaning shop, dry shampoo is a suspected carcinogen, in some areas has been disabled. So try those also can provide a laundry shop, or washable washable, finally, best not to buy those that are labeled "dry clean only" clothes.
that seem like a stupid question, but do you know when a beer bottles embedded in the bottom lime got peanut butter or a jar do you? you can take these polluted waste to recycling centres and recycling center will be cleared of most of the pollutants. In contrast, paper recycling process is more difficult, and this is the reason why pizza boxes are hard to recycle. In General, the more clean your waste products, while using less energy.


Some random thoughts for a mid-summer day.
On Monday with the soft launch of NPR One, NPR and its Member Stations begin a brave experiment as an industry through the creation of a product that has been developed to, quite frankly, disrupt our existing business model that we have been comfortable with for decades.
For historical purposes, for the past fifteen years we've been discussing disruptions to our business model that began with satellite radio, internet streams and podcasts. However, the NPR One app, while not perfect, is the closest, and best, product developed to date that could redirect our audience away from our audio streams (both terrestrial and Internet) to an experience that is similar to our streams but brings with it opportunities and challenges that may change the station relationship with our audience and with NPR.
The promise made with NPR One is that NPR has developed a series of default station experiences within the app to ensure that end users get a genuine local station experience. That is a true statement.
However, the traditional business model where on-air pledge has been our primary vehicle for acquiring new donors to our organizations ends as our audience moves to experience content on the app. And that may not be a bad thing.
This app will provide us with user data that may be our next evolution in how we acquire new donors and deepen our relationship with existing donors to our organization.
The app will provide new opportunities for corporate sponsorships on a digital platform that may be enormously attractive to national and local underwriters.
So if you take those two things together, it looks like our traditional business model evolving to reflect the digital world that the rest of the media landscape has pretty much already evolved into in one way or another.
But, there's a lot of unanswered questions ahead for us as we wander down this experiment that officially begins on Monday.
And most of the questions that I have relate to our speed to adapt our organizations to meet this evolution of our business model.
There are content and workflow questions.
There are systems and staffing questions.
There are a huge number of strategic questions around marketing this product mainly focused on who the target audience is for NPR One?
My reason for this post is to not raise the flag of surrender or to play Chicken Little and say the sky begins falling on Monday.
What I would like to ask my colleagues across the system is to join me in a conversation here on the questions you are asking inside your organization to adapt to this evolution ahead of us.
And while the sky isn't falling on Monday, if we're not asking questions then we're in some deep trouble.

Fenologi (från grekiskans phainesthai, komma i dagen, bli synlig), botanisk och zoologisk term för läran om de periodiska företeelsernas uppträdande inom växt- och djurriket, dvs. hur naturen förändras över årstiderna

Fenologi handlar om årligt återkommande faser i naturen, såsom lövsprickning, blomning, fruktsättning, höstlövsfärger, lövfällning, djurs vintervila och reproduktion, flyttfåglarnas ankomst och avfärd etc. När man vill beskriva ett områdes växt- och djurvärld är tidpunkten för fenologiska faser samt startpunkten, slutpunkten och längden på den biologiska växtsäsongen viktiga faktorer. Fenologi, som vetenskaplig disciplin, undersöker sådana deskriptiva (beskrivande) observationer. Man försöker också förstå vilka faktorer (temperatur, dagslängd, markvattentillgång, närings/resurstillgång, ...) som styr fenologin samt vilka biotiska och abiotiska faktorer som förklarar evolutionen av växters, djurs och ekosystems fenologiska egenskaper. Fenologi, som tillämpad disciplin, har en lång tradition inom jord- och skogsbruk och tillämpas numera även inom hälsosektorn (ex. pollenkalendrar för allergiker) och miljövården (ex. långsiktiga förändringar av naturens kalender).

Svensk miljöövervakning
Sedan 2008 samlar Svenska fenologinätverket in data från hela Sverige via internetformulär för att kunna skapa nutida fenologiska observationsserier och därigenom följa biologiska effekter av klimatförändringar (Dahl m.fl. 2008, Bolmgren m.fl. 2010, Bolmgren m.fl. 2015). Baserad på dessa data publicerar den nationella och regionala miljöövervakningen en miljömålsindikator . Svenska fenologinätverket samlar även in standardiserade fågel- och bifenologiska observationer i samarbete med BirdLife Sverige respektive Sveriges Biodlares Riksförbund, samt genomför den årliga kampanjen "Vårkollen" med Svenska Botaniska Föreningen.

Svensk fenologihistoria
Linné anordnade en fenologisk observationsserie över lövsprickningen 1750-52, vilken publicerades i en avhandling som försvarades av Harald Barck
Vernatio arborum. Några längre tidsserier med fenologiobservationer är kända från 1700-talet (ex. Bjerkander 1776). I det allra första numret av Botaniska Notiser (Fries 1839) inleddes en kampanj för att få läsarna att skicka in rapporter om vårblommornas kalendarium. På 1840-talet utvecklades detta genom Kungliga Vetenskapsakademiens (KVA) försorg och observationerna anpassades till en europeisk standard (Quetelet 1843), men efter bara några år slocknade intresset. Några årssammanställningar över fågel- och växtobservationer publicerades av KVA under perioden 1846-1851 (se även Söderström 1869).

1873 initierade Uppsala Observatorium under ledning av meteorologiprofessorn Hugo Hildebrandsson ett landsomfattande fenologiskt nätverk (H. W. Arnell 1877, Hildebrandsson/Frängsmyr 2015). Ansvaret för nätverket togs över av Statens Meteorologisk-Hydrografiska Centralanstalt (dåvarande SMHI) 1882, och observationerna sammanställdes i tre regionala rapporter (Hampus Wilhelm Arnell 1923, K. Arnell, 1927, K. Arnell & S. Arnell 1930). Nätverket tappade i aktivitet under 1920-talet men enskilda observatörer fortsatte att skicka in årsrapporter fram till 1951. Svenska fenologinätverket har scannat in de observationsblanketter och digitaliserat fenologiinformationen från dessa blanketter, vilket totalt omfattar över 345 000 observationer av växter, djur och aktiviteter i jordbruket. En observationsserie (Arnell 1896, 1917) har publicerats tidigare och Arnell (1878), Hult (1881) respektive Carlheim-Gyllenskiöld (1879) har publicerat analyser och sammanställningar.

Cheyenne Regional Medical Center / News / Media / Carmen Grubbs: 'Forever Grateful to the Medical Team at Cheyenne Regional'
Carmen Grubbs: 'Forever Grateful to the Medical Team at Cheyenne Regional'
Radiation therapy patients get to ring a bell after they complete their treatments. "Patients feel a sense of accomplishment when they are done with treatments on this part of their journey," said Leonard Geringer, Cheyenne Regional's radiation therapy manager (not pictured). "We encourage family and friends to come and celebrate the bell-ringing day with the patient. It is a moving experience for everyone." Here, Carmen stands by the bell with several of the Cancer Center's radiation therapists: (from left) Nancy Chuhralya, (Carmen), Megan Walker and Millie Chavarria.
Carmen Grubbs was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer on July 6, 2017. "I remember that specific day because it was my grandmother's birthday," she said, "and because you never forget the day you are told you have cancer."
Carmen's treatment included three rounds of chemotherapy, 36 days of radiation therapy, a double mastectomy, a hysterectomy and breast reconstructive surgery at Cheyenne Regional Medical Center over a period of a year and a half. She is currently taking a daily pill, tamoxifin, and is receiving an infusion every six months to help prevent the cancer from recurring.
"I do not remember it being that difficult," Carmen said of the many procedures and treatments she had. "However, my husband, Kent, says there were some really tough days. I think your mind allows you to forget some of the hard times that you go through during this intense journey."
Carmen, who is naturally upbeat, was hesitant to talk about the struggles she's faced. More than anything, Carmen said she wants our community and region to know how much she appreciates and values the treatments and support she's received over the past two years.
Carmen's family runs a farm and feedlot near Hereford, Colorado. "Our agricultural community is very busy and active," she said, "but one of their biggest concerns is for everyone's well-being. The support Kent and I received was extraordinary. Family and friends showed us love and kindness by sending cards, leaving phone messages, providing meals and praying for us. In addition, many people sent devotional scriptures, which gave me strength during this time."
Carmen is also pleased with the support and care she received from her medical team: "The doctors were so kind. And it was a team effort all the way. It was wonderful how well the surgeons, the doctors and their staff cooperated and worked together."
As an example, Carmen said the mastectomies and initial breast reconstruction work were done during the same surgical session to help reduce the amount of time Carmen would need to spend in surgery and also in recovery and rehabilitation. Almost a year later, the final work on the breast reconstructions and the hysterectomy were also performed during the same surgery session.
Carmen's surgical team included Dr. Lisa Burton, a general and trauma surgeon with Consultants in Surgery; Dr. Philip Wagner, an obstetrician and gynecologist with Cheyenne Obstetrics and Gynecology; and Dr. Joseph Looby, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon with the Plastic, Reconstructive, Cosmetic & Hand Surgery clinic in Cheyenne.
Medical team became an extended family
Carmen first learned she had cancer when she was 44 years old. "You can't imagine that you will get cancer in your forties," she said. "Normally I don't even catch the common cold."
The breast cancer was detected after a routine mammogram at the Cheyenne Women's Imaging Pavilion. An ultrasound and a biopsy confirmed the diagnosis.
Carmen's primary care doctor, Dr. Philip Schiel, encouraged her to see Dr. Burton as soon as possible.
"As a new cancer patient, you can feel overwhelmed," she said. "The doctors, my nurse practitioner and their teams reassured me and my family. They also helped us understand what we were facing and the kinds of treatments that would be needed."
In addition to Dr. Burton, Dr. Looby and Dr. Wagner, Carmen's medical team included a hematologist/oncologist, Dr. Maristela Batezini and a radiation oncologist, Dr. Subashini Furman, both with the Cheyenne Regional Cancer Center. Carmen was also cared for by Kristen Begger, a nurse practitioner with the Cancer Center, and Amber Carroll, a Cheyenne Regional physical therapist.
"Amber provided me with the knowledge and guidance I needed to build my upper body strength and increase my arm mobility," Carmen said. "She showed me at-home exercises that will help me maintain that strength and flexibility for the rest of my life."
Carmen also expressed gratitude to the many nurses, therapists and other medical professionals who cared for her: "This medical team is so professional, and they know how to help when you have a question or concern. They take great care to address each person's individual needs."
Another positive, Carmen said, was how close she felt to the nurses and therapists who cared for her: "Every person on my medical team demonstrated expertise and compassion. I felt so close to all of them. They there were like my extended family."
Amber said that that this positive feeling is definitely mutual: "Carmen's attitude about her cancer journey has been such an inspiration."
"Carmen is the kind of person who makes everyone she comes in contact with feel better, even though she is the patient!" said Ellen Rossi (right), one of the registered nurses who cared for Carmen (left) during her cancer journey.
One of Carmen's nurses, Ellen Rossi, agreed: "Carmen is the kind of person who makes everyone she comes in contact with feel better, even though she is the patient! Her beaming smile hits you first off. Then her thankfulness and positive outlook leave you with a new perspective. You walk away feeling better for the time you've spent with her."
Amber said that from the caregiver perspective, Carmen was an easy patient to care for because of how proactive she was: "Any time Carmen noticed something wasn't right, she would call immediately. I was able to remotely problem-solve changes to her treatment plan to address worsening symptoms. By the time she would come to her next physical therapy appointment, she had fixed the issue."
'I've become a new person'
Today, just over two years since she was diagnosed, Carmen is feeling "super, super, super great," she said. "I feel so good now that it's hard to imagine that this journey with cancer took place."
Carmen is especially appreciative of small, daily blessings. "I will stand at the kitchen window and watch the sunrises and sunsets," she said. "Before I had cancer, I took these sights for granted. Since my treatment, I appreciate how beautiful they are. And I enjoy the birds singing, more than I ever did. In a way, it's like I've become a new person."
Above all, Carmen wants to express her gratitude for how the journey has turned out and for all the care and support she has received.
"God helped me be at peace with such a life-changing situation," she said. 'My family, friends and community lifted me up in prayer and stood by Kent and me the entire time."
"And I'll be forever grateful to the medical team at Cheyenne Regional," Carmen said. "The care they provided was phenomenal."

The AEMO Intervention Event and all associated directions are cancelled from 1630 hrs 17/04/2019.
AEMO considers the simultaneous trip of the following circuits is no longer reasonably possible. Accordingly its classification has reverted to a non-credible contingency event.
Refer AEMO Electricity Market Notice 68117.
The Moorabool -Tarrone 500 kV line in the Victoria (VIC) region was planned to be out of service from 0700 hrs to 1730 hrs on 18/04/2019.
This planned outage has been cancelled.
All constraint sets associated with this outage have been revoked.
AEMO considers the simultaneous trip of the following circuits to now be more likely and reasonably possible. Accordingly AEMO has reclassified it as a credible contingency event.
An AEMO Intervention Event occurred when AEMO issued a direction to maintain the power system in a secure operating state.
The AEMO Intervention Event commenced in the 1800 hrs dispatch interval and is forecast to apply until 1630 hrs 17/04/2019.
AEMO declares all dispatch intervals during the AEMO Intervention Event to be intervention price dispatch intervals.
The direction is expected to affect dispatch quantities for intervention pricing purposes from the 2135 hrs dispatch interval on 16/04/2019.
An unplanned outage of the Magill - Torrens Island 275 kV Line has occurred in the SA region at 0612 hrs.
The AEMO Intervention Event commenced in the 1800 hrs dispatch interval and is forecast to apply until 1100 hrs 17/04/2019.
In accordance with section 116 of the National Electricity Law, AEMO has issued a direction to a participant in the South Australia region.
The direction was necessary to maintain the power system in a secure operating state.
AEMO may issue or revoke additional directions in order to meet the current requirement, unless sufficient market response is provided.
A further market notice will be issued when all directions related to this requirement have been cancelled.
For the purposes of the National Electricity Rules this is a direction under clause 4.8.9(a).
The synchronous generating units expected to be synchronised in SA from 21:30 hrs 16/04/2019 to 11:00 hrs in Pre-dispatch published at 1700hrs 17/04/2019 are inadequate to maintain sufficient system strength in SA and hence a secure operating state.
AEMO currently estimates that, in the absence of sufficient market response by 18:00 hrs 16/04/2019, AEMO may need to intervene by issuing a direction requiring one or more SA synchronous generating unit(s) to operate or remain synchronised to maintain power system security in SA.
