Citibank (C), HSBC (HSBC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), RBS (RBS)and UBS (UBS) will collectively pay $1.4 billion to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and about £1.1 billion ($1.75 billion) to the U.K.'s Financial Conduct Authority. UBS will also make a payment in Switzerland.
The fines are the largest ever imposed by the British regulator, which said it will continue to investigate potential wrongdoing at Barclays (BCS).
In addition, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said Bank of America (BAC), Citibank and JPMorgan Chase will pay a combined $950 million in penalties.
Some $5 trillion is traded in the global currency market each day, much of it in London. Foreign exchange rates affect the price of imported goods, company earnings and many investments held by pension funds and others.
"The market only works if people have confidence that the process of setting these benchmarks is fair, not corrupted by manipulation by some of the biggest banks in the world," said Aitan Goelman, the CFTC's director of enforcement.
Regulators said traders used private online chatrooms to coordinate their buying and selling to shift currency prices in their favor, aiming to making a profit for their banks at the expense of clients.
The traders called themselves "the players", "the 3 musketeers" and the "the A-team." They would agree to take certain positions in order to manipulate the so-called 4 p.m. fix, a 60-second snapshot of afternoon trading in London that forms the basis of a widely-used benchmark.
The FCA said that the banks had failed to manage obvious risks, and that traders were allowed to behave unacceptably.
The Federal Reserve is also believed to be investigating banks' conduct in the currency market.
Speaking in a conference call with reporters, Goelman said the CFTC could have continued investigating but decided it had enough evidence to obtain a settlement.
"Settling now allowed us to conserve our resources, which you may have heard are scarce," he said. "I also think there's value to justice being dealt in a timely fashion."
He added that all of the banks cooperated with the investigation and that some have taken steps to ensure that the misconduct won't happen again.
British regulators said 36 banks that operate in the foreign exchange market, including the five fined Wednesday, will be required to participate in a program to change banking culture and ensure management take more responsibility.
A separate investigation into the actions of officials at the Bank of England found that no staffers were involved with alleged foreign exchange rigging. However, one official was found to have been aware of potential improper conduct, and failed to raise the issue.
The CFTC said that since June 2012, it has imposed penalties of more than $3.34 billion relating to the manipulation of global benchmarks.

It's 58 years since Wales last graced a major tournament, but Chris Coleman's men are keen to make up for lost time.
The Dragons certainly impressed in qualifying, beating Belgium – number two in the FIFA World Rankings – and conceding just four times, en route to an impressive 21 points from 10 games, to finish second in Group B.
With the magnificent Gareth Bale in their ranks, they also boast one of world football's finest talents. So, here are five reasons they could be one of the sides to watch at Euro 2016.
Belgium have only failed to score twice in their 15 games since the 2014 World Cup. The common denominator in those two games? Wales.
Bale may steal most of the headlines, but the Dragons' defence is equally as important to their success.
Marshalled by captain Ashley Williams, the Welsh rearguard functioned superbly in both a 3-5-2 and a 5-3-2 system. The side kept seven clean sheets during qualifying, with the likes of Neil Taylor and Chris Gunter providing good service to the Dragons' front men, from the wing.
Don't be surprised to see group stage opponents England, Russia and Slovakia struggle to break down one of the most solid defences in world football this summer.
As impressive as Wales' defence has been, there is no debate about who the side's star man is likely to be this summer.
Real Madrid broke the world transfer record to bring Bale to the Bernabeu in 2013, and the Cardiff-born winger has continued to develop his impressive footwork, superb set-pieces and knack for finishing in Spain.
That's been great news for Wales too, with the former Tottenham man netting seven times in qualification and producing a number of inspiring displays – most notably in the gritty comeback win over Andorra, where the winger's sensational free-kick ensured a 2-1 victory for the Dragons.
The myth believed by many football fans is that Gareth Bale is Wales' only attacking outlet of note, but the stats don't back that up.
David Cotterill and Hal Robson-Kanu both netted in the victory over Cyprus, while Aaron Ramsey's goals set the Dragons en route to victory over Israel and Andorra.
Similarly, five different players produced assists for those 11 goals which clinched qualification, including Ashley Richards' inch-perfect cross which set up Bale for that memorable winner in Cyprus last autumn.
Gorau Chwarae Cyd Chwarae. That's the motto of the Welsh national team, and it roughly translates as 'the best play is team play'. It's very apt for a side whose team spirit and resolve has been evident throughout qualifying.
At 1-0 down against minnows Andorra in the opening game, Gareth Bale grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck, aided by a resolute defence and superb service from Tottenham man Ben Davies, with the Dragons eventually claiming the three points.
And against Cyprus, Coleman's men held onto a narrow 2-1 lead despite having to play the final 43 minutes with 10 men following Andy King's dismissal. They may boast one of the world's finest players in Bale, but this is a team in every sense of the word – no superstar egos in sight.
The Dragons boss is the longest serving of any of his Group B counterparts, having taken the national post in January 2012. That means he's likely to have a better measure of his squad's strengths and weaknesses than the likes of Russia's Leonid Slutsky, who has only been in charge of the Euro 2008 semi-finalists since last August.
Coleman has abandoned the 4-5-1 formation which underpinned a disappointing set of results in World Cup 2014 qualifying.
Adopting the current 5-3-2 and 3-5-2 systems has enabled the former Fulham boss to build a side which is both defensively sound and – when the time calls for it – offers a significant attacking threat on the wings.
That versatility could prove an invaluable asset as the Dragons look to make their mark in France this summer.
It's 5/1 that Wales top Group B, with 8/13 for Coleman's men to qualify from the group.
Meanwhile, Dragons fans can back their team to reach the semi-finals at 16s while it's 80/1 that captain Williams will be lifting the trophy on July 10.

You need to know the facts. Your business depends on it.
Companies considering Microsoft Office 365 as their first step in moving applications to hosted solutions face similar inconsistencies, making it difficult to separate fact from fiction. For example, some businesses incorrectly believe Office 365 is simply a version of Office accessed by a browser.

Lack of sleep, juggling other needs, physical and emotional changes, and increased responsibility can affect anyone's well-being and require an adjustment period. However, if symptoms are more extreme, making it difficult to complete normal daily activities, or get worse over time, postpartum depression may be the cause.
If you are concerned about yourself, a friend, or family member, help is available. New Jersey has one of the most robust postpartum depression support systems in the country. We were the first state to require universal screening of mothers who recently delivered babies for postpartum depression, many support groups are available across New Jersey, and there is a dedicated state postpartum depression hotline, "Speak Up When You're Down," operating 24/7 at 1-800-328-3838.
What is Postpartum Depression and What Does It Look Like?
Postpartum depression is moderate to severe depression in a new mother. Most of the time, it occurs within the first three months of childbirth. A combination of stress, lifestyle factors, and hormonal changes after birth can cause this condition.
A resource used by clinicians to help identify postpartum depression, called the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, can be found online: https://www.helpguide.org/misc/edinburghscale.pdf. Though not a replacement for diagnosis by a professional, it's recommended that mothers who score 13 or above should seek immediate help and medical care.
If you suspect you or a loved one are suffering from postpartum depression, reach out for help right away. In addition to the New Jersey hotline, you can call the toll-free 24-hour hotline US Office of Women's Health – 1-800-994-9662.
Search for a support group near you. Many groups are located throughout the state, and meetings are conducted in both Spanish and English. You can find a list of support groups in New Jersey at the Postpartum Support International web site: http://www.postpartum.net/locations/new-jersey.
Ask for help with the baby from loved ones and friends.
Rest as much as you can. Learn how to sleep while the baby sleeps.
Don't hide your feelings, even though they might be shameful or frightening. Talk about them with your partner, family and friends, with other mothers, or join a support group.
Try to find time for yourself or visit friends and family, with or without the baby.
Go easy on yourself. Don't try to do too much or be perfect.
It's estimated that 1 in 7 new mothers develop postpartum depression, so you are not alone. Postpartum depression is both temporary and treatable. Symptoms do decrease and can go away completely with proper medical attention. Don't delay if you or someone you know may be suffering from this condition--seek help soon.

Q: C++ Function that returns function, errors C2440, C2100 in xmemory and xrefwrap I am getting errors like:
Error   24  error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'std::_List_const_iterator<_Mylist>' to 'AttrValue'   c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\xmemory  208
Error   25  error C2100: illegal indirection    c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\xrefwrap 49
Error   26  error C2296: '.*' : illegal, left operand has type 'AttrValue'  c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\xrefwrap 49
Error   37  error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'std::_List_const_iterator<_Mylist>' to 'AttrValue'   c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\xmemory  208
Error   38  error C2100: illegal indirection    c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\xrefwrap 49
Error   39  error C2296: '.*' : illegal, left operand has type 'AttrValue'  c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\xrefwrap 49

It doesn't point to my code so I dont exactly know whats wrong. But looking at MSDN docs, I was thinking the problems maybe caused by:
function<bool(AttrValue)> QueryEvaluatorPrivate::getClausePredicate(Relation clauseType, int preferedIndex) {
    switch (clauseType) {
    case UsesRelation:
        if (preferedIndex == 0)
            return &QueryEvaluatorPrivate::hasVarsUsed;
        return &QueryEvaluatorPrivate::hasStmtsUsing;
    case UsesPRelation:
        if (preferedIndex == 0)
            return &QueryEvaluatorPrivate::hasVarsUsedInProc;
        return &QueryEvaluatorPrivate::hasProcsUsing;
    }
}

hasVarsUsed and other has* functions are just functions that return a bool. Is there something wrong with this?
UPDATE
Following @Cameron's comment, in the output window is output. I think the offending line is output.insert(x) (last line):
    ...
    function<bool(AttrValue)> clausePredicate = getClausePredicate(cl.type, prefered);
    unordered_set<AttrValue> output;
    if (prefered == pos) {
        for (auto x = input.begin(); x != input.end(); ++x)
            if (clausePredicate(*x))
                output.insert(x);
    ...

But whats wrong with that? Maybe I am looking at the wrong place?
UPDATE 2
Fixed the 1st problem output.insert(x) should be output.insert(*x)... but I have
Error   6   error C2100: illegal indirection    c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\xrefwrap 49

I think the offending line is:
return &QueryEvaluatorPrivate::hasVarsUsed;

I am probably returning functions wrongly?
// function declaration
bool QueryEvaluatorPrivate::hasVarsUsed(StmtNum s)

A: x = input.begin() -> looks like x is some sort of iterator
Maybe you should do:
output.insert(*x)

instead of
output.insert(x)

A: It looks like you are trying to use a function with the wrong signature, maybe because StmtNum is a derived class of AttrValue? Here's an example to explain:
#include <functional>

struct A {};
struct B : A {};

void fa( A ) {}
void fb( B ) {}

int main()
{
  std::function<void(A)> f1( &fa ); // OK
  std::function<void(A)> f2( &fb ); // fails
}

In your code, I see function<bool(AttrValue)>, but the function is
bool QueryEvaluatorPrivate::hasVarsUsed(StmtNum s);

Also, this function has to be static as you can not simply mix free (or static) functions with member functions when passing around pointers to them.

'I Feel Like My Heart Has Stopped Beating:' Kids Open Up About The Frightening New Reality Of Regular Lockdown Drills
Filed Under: Kristine Johnson, Local TV
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Americans of all ages remember fire drills in school. Most people rarely took them seriously, but kids today face a very different reality.
Images from Columbine, Colorado in April of 1999 remain heart stopping, forever changing the notion that our children were safe in school.
The shootings and the massacres in the years since then, from Amish country to California, Sandy Hook to Parkland, have left us with a sad truth — for kids in school today, lockdown drills mean staying out of sight in darkened rooms and literally running for their lives.
Signs on display in school bathrooms may be terrifying, but it's just another part of their day-to-day lives.
CBS2 invited a group of students, ranging in age from nine to 12, to help us understand how they've learned to cope.
WEB EXTRA: Extended Look At CBS2's Sit-Down With Students
"I'm feeling like, I feel like my heart has stopped beating for a couple of minutes," Lilly said.
"Once I start and hear the word 'lockdown,' I immediately stop what I'm doing," Amelia said.
"If an intruder is near he might know there are kids in there and break the lock and get in," Jackson said.
It's the frightening reality kids face in school every day.
"The teachers lock he doors, they pull the blinds down, the kids go out of sight," Brynna said.
Ellie said when she's asked to rush into her classroom's closet, all can she think of is how squished she is.
"I don't think parents know what we're going through sometimes," Amelia said.
Their parents did, however, pay attention to their conversation with CBS2's Kristine Johnson. Lilly's mom said she heard some things she hadn't heard before.
Parents listened intently as their kids revealed how the current climate affects them on an emotional level, and stoically described the mechanics of the drills they're forced to rehearse.
"There's always that creeping suspicion of what if it's a real drill," Lilly said.
Brynna says she goes "to a point in the room where they can't see us."
"The lights are off and the kids are told to be silent," she said.
Her mom says she sounds as prepared as she should be.
"It sounds like the school does a good job," Brynna's mother said. "It makes me feel safe for her."
Dr. Kristin Carothers, psychologist with the Child Mind Institute, joined in on the discussion and spoke about the "conditioned fear response."
"Sometimes that response goes into overdrive and we think we're in danger and we're not in danger," she said. "That's anxiety, but what you're having is a good natural response."
Nine out of ten public schools have lockdown drills, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Like nuclear-era duck and cover exercises from the late 1950s and early 60s, the drills of this generation may employ different types of simulations but no one underestimates their importance.
Dr. Carothers tells the students it's completely normal to feel anxious during lockdown drills.
"You can try to think, we call it a 'coping thought,' that 'we're practicing this drill to keep me safe, my teachers are doing everything they can to keep me safe'," Carothers said. "If you can keep that in your mind as you're going through the drill it might help a little."
Overall, the kids were incredibly poised and articulate.
Although they spoke candidly of their fears, they also acknowledged that the lockdown drills have always been part of their school experience, and truly believe that their schools are doing everything they can to keep them safe.

The distillery, together with a tasting saloon, relies in historic buildings right on the primary road of Park Metropolis. Learn it before you eat it. This food social networking site that lets folks post and assessment food that they like is the actual deal!!


A new market study, titled "Geriatric Medicines Market [By Therapeutic Category (Analgesics, Antihypertensive, Statins, Antidiabetics, Proton Pump Inhibitor, Anticoagulant, Antipsychotic, and Antidepressant); By Therapeutic Conditions (Cardiovascular, Arthritis, Neurological, Cancer, Osteoporosis, and Respiratory); and by Regions (North America – U.S., Canada; Europe – Germany, UK, France, Italy, Russia; Asia-Pacific – China, India, Japan, Australia; Latin America – Brazil, Mexico; Middle East & Africa)]: Market size & Forecast, 2018 – 2026" has been featured on WiseGuyReports.
Geriatric medicines, also called geriatrics is a division of medicines associated with preventive, clinical, remedial, and social aspects of disease generally amongst people that are aged over 65 years or more. In response to the needs of an aging population, demand for geriatric medicines and appropriate cure has developed rapidly during last decades. The proper medical care for the geriatric patients across the range of ill health conditions includes co-morbid complications such as syncope, cerebral aging, and falls among others.
The Global Geriatric Medicines Market Size is anticipated to reach over USD 1,157.34 billion by 2026 according to a new research.
The global geriatric medicines market is majorly driven by the factor including a rise in geriatric populations. According to the Eurostat, the number of people aged 65 years and above is expected reach 141 million by 2050 globally. In addition, the high market growth is expected on account of the increasing occurrence of numerous target disorders in the geriatric population, the demographic modification, the rising trend in lifestyle-associated risk aspects, and the considerably developed access to economic medicine across the developing and emerging regions. Continuous R&D activities commenced by key players and pharmaceutical companies to provide to the patient demand is expected to gain the significant outcomes during the forecast period. Increasing occurrence of chronic ailments, refining healthcare organization in emerging economies, increasing acceptance of medical tourism, government initiatives as well as support to provide timely care, and increasing number of specialty clinics are some of the other factors driving of the geriatric medicines market. However, difficulties associated with drug compatibility, lack of patient involvement in clinical trials, and side effects associated with the medications are the factors hampering the market growth.
North America is estimated to dominate the global Geriatric Medicines Market. The existence of developed healthcare facilities, favorable reimbursement policies, and the easy availability of important as well as life-saving medicine has significantly enhanced the average life expectancy rates in North America. Moreover, the number of people that are over 65 to 70 years suffering several target ailments is increasing continually which is further anticipated to boost the geriatric medicines market during the forecast period.
Some major key players in global Geriatric Medicines Market include GlaxoSmithKline Plc, BoehringerIngelheim GmbH, Novartis AG, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Pfizer, Inc., Eli Lilly and Company, Abbott Laboratories Inc., AstraZeneca plc, Merck & Company Inc., and Sanofi S.A. among others.

Conditioning House wins Best Apartment Development in West Yorkshire award
Posted on 16th November 2018 18th November 2018 by Tristan
The £8.5 million redevelopment scheme from the Leeds-based developer Pristley Homes, which specialises in the regeneration of historic buildings, was named the Best Apartment Development in the Yorkshire region at the recent awards. The award was presented at ceremony at the Royal Lancaster hotel in London, attended by chief executive, Nathan Priestley, and team.
Mr Priestley said: "These awards reflect the incredibly talented, hard-working teams across our development, construction and estate agency divisions. To be recognised by such a prestigious awarding body is testament to the positive, lasting impact we're making on the region and beyond. "This year has been huge for the Priestley Group; our development pipeline surpasses £100million and we have a construction order book of more than £40million. With record turnovers expected for each of the companies in the group over the next three years, we're well on the way to building on our successes."
Work began last month on Conditioning House near Bradford city centre. The building has been standing empty for three decades and in May planning permission was received to redeveloped the historic building for residential and commercial use. The Cape Street building will be turned into a total of 133 one, two and three-bedroom apartments.
There will also be a residents' gym and cafe, as well as 1,350 square metres of managed office space for local businesses. An 18-month programme of work has begun and is being carried out by the developer's contracting arm, Priestley Construction. Construction will secure about 100 on-site jobs as well as supporting a further 500 jobs locally through suppliers. When planning permission was granted, Mr Priestley told the T&A: "Conditioning House has been empty for 30 years, so we're very happy our plans to transform it into a thriving community have been approved by the council.
"Once completed, we believe the development will be one of the best Bradford has to offer, providing high quality living spaces and extra amenities that raise the benchmark for urban living. "We can't wait to launch this development to market for locals and buy-to-let investors alike." Conditioning House was built by the council in 1902 as a wool testing centre through a special Act of Parliament in 1887.
Almost 70 per cent of all wool produced in the UK was brought there for testing prior to use. The Priestley Group has its headquarters in Leeds and the firm launched a London office in October 2018 to support major growth plans and developments in the pipeline of more than 700 homes across 20 major schemes.

This blog post was co-authored by Nicole Candelori and Justus Getty.
In a break from previous cases on the issue, the Federal Circuit in January issued an en banc decision holding that time-bar determinations in inter partes review (IPR) proceedings are appealable. Wi-Fi One, LLC vs. Broadcom Corporation Nos. 2015-1944, 2015-1945, 2015-1946, 2018 U.S. App. LEXIS 387 (Fed. Cir. Jan. 8, 2018). As a result, decisions of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("Board") finding claims of several Wi-Fi One, LLC ("Wi-Fi One") patents to be unpatentable were remanded to the Board for consideration of whether the petitioner, Broadcom Corporation ("Broadcom"), was time-barred from bringing the petitions.
Under 35 U.S.C. § 315(b), an IPR may not be instituted if a petition is filed more than one year after the petitioner, real party in interest, or privy of the petitioner is served with a complaint for patent infringement. In a 2015 decision, the Federal Circuit had held that a determination by the Board that a petitioner was time-barred was non-appealable. Achates Reference Publishing, Inc. v. Apple Inc., Achates Reference Publishing, Inc. v. Apple Inc., 803 F.3d 652, 658 (Fed. Cir. 2015). In that case, the Federal Circuit based its decision on the language of 35 U.S.C. § 314(d), which states that the Director's determination "whether to institute an inter partes review under this section shall be final and nonappealable."

A panel of judges at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("the Board") recently estopped a Petitioner from joining a petition for inter partes review under 35 U.S.C. § 315(e)(1). The panel's order denying institution and joinder is notable for its interpretation of the Federal Circuit's decision in Shaw Industries Group v. Automated Creel Systems, Inc. 817 F.3d 1293 (Fed. Cir. 2016). The panel's interpretation is markedly different from an earlier application of that case by Judge Robinson of the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.

In April, the USPTO released the results of a study on claim amendments in AIA proceedings. The study showed that of 118 Motions to Amend Claims filed at the PTAB, just six had been granted. The abysmal success rate of patent owners seeking to amend claims (just 5% by the PTO's own numbers) has been a source of strong criticism of the PTAB.
For patent owners searching for a successful amendment strategy, we've collected the allowed claim amendments from those six successful motions to amend at the PTAB, which are presented below: Continue reading Successful Motions to Amend Claims at the PTAB →

The typical IPR deposition is therefore an opportunity for an opposing party to cross examine the witness, and the PTAB has set the standard duration of cross examination at seven hours. 37 C.F.R. 42.53(c)(2) (further providing four hours for re-direct examination and two hours for re-cross examination).
The seven-hour cross examination rule does contemplate extending the duration of a deposition, as may be "stipulated by the parties or ordered by the Board." Id. Where each party retains an expert fact witness in an IPR, it can be mutually beneficial for the parties to stipulate to extended depositions. In one extreme case, the parties agreed to stipulated extensions such that the deposition of a single witness extended over a five-day period. Continue reading Extending Depositions in IPRs →
Federal Circuit to Review PTAB's Amendment Practice

Earlier this month the Federal Circuit granted en banc review of the PTAB's process for reviewing Motions to Amend Claims in AIA proceedings. In the case In re Aqua Products, the patent owner argues that it met the statutory requirements for making a claim amendment but the PTAB failed to enter the amendment based on a erroneous interpretation of the statute which results in additional, onerous requirements being levied on a patent owner.

Collateral Estoppel in an IPR
April 6, 2016 Generalcollateral estoppel, Estoppel, inter partes review, IPR, PTABJustus Getty
When a patent or patent family is subject to multiple validity challenges, a petitioner in an inter partes review may seek to assert collateral estoppel to preclude relitigation of issues decided in a previous proceeding. Collateral estoppel, which is also called issue preclusion, is appropriate where: "(1) the issue is identical to one decided in the first action; (2) the issue was actually litigated in the first action; (3) resolution of the issue was essential to a final judgment in the first action; and (4) [the party against whom issue preclusion is asserted] had a full and fair opportunity to litigate the issue in the first action." In re Freeman, 30 F.3d 1459, 1465 (Fed. Cir. 1994). Collateral estoppel is "premised on principles of fairness," which leaves considerable latitude to the PTAB in deciding whether to apply the doctrine. Continue reading Collateral Estoppel in an IPR →
PTAB's Two Precedential Opinions and Impact of Previous Proceeding on AIA Reviews
March 3, 2016 General315(b), 325, Bar date, Estoppel, inter partes review, IPR, precedent, PTABJason Luo, Ph.D.
The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) recently designated two opinions as precedential, which are two of the only three precedential opinions in America Invents Act (AIA) reviews up to today. The precedential status means that these opinions are binding precedents that the PTAB judges must follow in the future.
The first opinion, LG Electronics Inc. v. Mondis Tech Ltd. (IPR2015-00937, Sept. 17, 2015), is related to the one-year bar date for filing an inter partes review (IPR). Based on 35 U.S.C §315(b), an IPR is barred if it is filed more than one year after a petitioner is "served with a complaint alleging infringement of the patent" (emphasis added). The question is which complaint should be the basis for the one year deadline if several complaints are served. Continue reading PTAB's Two Precedential Opinions and Impact of Previous Proceeding on AIA Reviews →
Sharing their insights on post-issuance challenges to patents including inter partes review (IPR), covered business method review (CBM) and post-grant review (PGR) before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, Duane Morris patent attorneys draw from their extensive procedural, technical and litigation experience in this quickly moving, and highly contested, area.
Duane Morris has the highest IPR institution percentage of any of the nation's Top 15 most active petitioner law firms. (According to Patexia's analysis of cases over five years.)
Ranked the top firm representing petitioners before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). (According to Unified Patents' institutional success index in January 2018.)

How To Occupy Wall Street or Keep Wall Street Occupied!
The day the unions came to visit… a Wall Street Tycoon calls the protestors anarchists, and calls Mark Ledziana monkey. Mike Myers chimes in. Plus a discussion on the evolution of the message.
Four months after Occupy Wall Street grew into a nationwide phenomenon, America's Occupy activists plan to descend on Capitol Hill to "Occupy Congress" on Tuesday in what organizers hope could be the movement's largest gathering yet.
Occupy New Hampshire activist Mark Provost made national headlines Wednesday when he attended a town hall meeting hosted by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, and asked about his past comment that "corporations are people." Provost's question to Romney came Occupy New Hampshire is preparing for a series of events leading up to the state's Republican primary to highlight the disproportionate impact corporations and wealthy donors have on the political process.
To watch the complete daily, independent news hour, read the transcript, download the podcast, and for more Democracy Now! reports on the Citizens United ruling, the 2012 elections, and Occupy Wall Street.
Rarely do images put a topic in perspective as this video does.
With all the news about UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or Drones in the news, it was just a matter of time until these devices would be available to the general public. Perhaps one of the most innovate use of theses moderately priced over-the-counter drones is being utilized by the Occupy Movement.
Drones have been utilized by police in the past to monitor large crowds of protesters but this might be the first time a drone has been used by protesters to monitor the police. Tim Pool has modified a Parrot AR Drone to provide a live feed of Occupy Wall Street from above, offering an angle unique from all the other Occupy live feeds already providing footage of the protests across the globe.
The Parrot AR Drone is a fairly inexpensive quadracopter which can be piloted via a smartphone or iPad. Its built-in video camera and $300 price tag make it a pretty accessible tool for protesters, no matter what the cause.
According to The Guardian, Pool is attempting to make it so multiple people in a crowd can assume control of the drone, just in case the pilot gets busted by the police. He also hopes to create a 3G controller to allow people to pilot the drone remotely.
As the line between advanced surveillance drone and remote control toy blur, we can probably expect to see a lot more amateurs fiddling with drones like this in the future.
The overwhelming amount of video footage of the Occupy protests – including that of the UC Davis pepper spraying incident – has mainly been enabled by technology like YouTube and smartphone cameras, tools that protesters in past decades never had access to. Now we can start expecting wide, sky-high shots of the drama as well.

CHAPTER XXIX. Henri Farman and the Voisin Biplane
William J. Claxton
The coming of the motor engine made events move rapidly in the world of aviation. About the year 1906 people's attention was drawn to France, where Santos Dumont was carrying out the wonderful experiments which we have already described. Then came Henri Farman, who piloted the famous biplane built by the Voisin brothers in 1907; an aeroplane destined to bring world-wide renown to its clever constructors and its equally clever and daring pilot.
CHAPTER XLV. Accidents and their Cause
"Another airman killed!" "There'll soon be none of those flying fellows left!" "Far too risky a game!" "Ought to be stopped by law!"
A History of Aeronautics
E. Charles Vivian
by E. Charles Vivian
XIV. RHEIMS, AND AFTER
The foregoing brief - and necessarily incomplete - survey of the early British group of fliers has taken us far beyond some of the great events of the early days of successful flight, and it is necessary to go back to certain landmarks in the history of aviation, first of which is the great meeting at Rheims in 1909. Wilbur Wright had come to Europe, and, flying at Le Mans and Pau - it was on August 8th, 1908, that Wilbur Wright made the first of his ascents in Europe - had stimulated public interest in flying in France to a very great degree.
II. THE FIRST DIRIGIBLES
Having got off the earth, the very early balloonists set about the task of finding a means of navigating the air but, lacking steam or other accessory power to human muscle, they failed to solve the problem. Joseph Montgolfier speedily exploded the idea of propelling a balloon either by means of oars or sails, pointing out that even in a dead calm a speed of five miles an hour would be the limit achieved.
Proclamation published by the French Government on balloon ascents, 1783.
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC! PARIS, 27TH AUGUST, 1783.
On the Ascent of balloons or globes in the air. The one in question has been raised in Paris this day, 27th August, 1783, at 5 p.m., in the Champ de Mars.
A Discovery has been made, which the Government deems it right to make known, so that alarm be not occasioned to the people.
Although successful heavier-than-air flight is less than two decades old, and successful dirigible propulsion antedates it by a very short period, the mass of experiment and accomplishment renders any one-volume history of the subject a matter of selection. In addition to the restrictions imposed by space limits, the material for compilation is fragmentary, and, in many cases, scattered through periodical and other publications.
XV. THE CHANNEL CROSSING
It may be said that Louis Bleriot was responsible for the second great landmark in the history of successful flight. The day when the brothers Wright succeeded in accomplishing power-driven flight ranks as the first of these landmarks. Ader may or may not have left the ground, but the wreckage of his 'Avion' at the end of his experiment places his doubtful success in a different category from that of the brothers Wright and leaves them the first definite conquerors, just as Bleriot ranks as first definite conqueror of the English Channel by air.

What if Hollywood had a high school yearbook?
Written by Evan Blackwell, CJE
Here's a fun link that's been making the rounds throughout the web – just what would it look like if Hollywood had its own high school yearbook?
Part of it might look a little something like this.
At least one of those celebs was almost unrecognizable to me. Yes, I'm talking about you, Ryan Seacrest!

Sometimes an artist visibly grows into a gig and this certainly applied to Chastity Brown upon her return to the Kings Heath area of Birmingham. There had been a lengthy wait for a decent run of dates since the music of Chastity Brown took an upwards turn overseas on the back of her 2013 album release BACK-ROADS HIGHWAYS. Now we have had back-back tours in consecutive years and double visits to the West Midlands area on each occasion. Last year the tour was in a duo format with the Birmingham date hosted by the Hare and Hounds in a double bill presentation alongside Otis Gibbs. This year it was a case of popping across York Road and a more intimate evening without the duo partner or a co-headliner to share proceedings.
In light of this format and the absence of an opening artist, Chastity pitched up for a pair of sets armed only with a trusty acoustic guitar, a bucketful of songs and a voice anchored in the cradle of Midwest Americana. This is where the melting pot of country, blues, folk and soul bubbles away, quite frankly unaware of any genre classifications from outsiders .
Perhaps, it is the vocals of Chastity Brown that cast her adrift from the ruck of artists pitched to UK audiences as the next piece of Americana pie. This a voice protracting a cause and finding solace in the peace that music can provide. The gravelly inner feelings of her vocal chords transmit to a live audience with sumptuous ease and this experience enhances ten-fold when the atmosphere slips gently in a statuesque state of intimacy free of many filters.
Issues of ethnicity and sexuality hit the room early on, although put into perspective when compared to immediate threat of displacement and afflicted by declining health. Signature tracks 'Colorado' and 'Drive Slow' opened the set leaving minor wriggle room later for the likes of 'Wake Up' and a lauded attempt to extract 'When We Get There' from the barrels of her mind to fulfil a request.
On the new song front, a track believed to be titled 'Wonderment' had an introduction, this on a day where the new single 'Mad Love' was unveiled to folks, which may or may not have featured on the evening as frequently Chastity slipped into the zone of just falling into the next song after irreverent chat.
The second half took a more relaxed turn as Chastity felt the available chair was appropriate to raise the stakes of placidity. Momentarily, the notion of what happens on stage stays on stage prevailed as the cool Kitchen Garden vibes submerged a performer becoming increasingly at ease in an environment that was not quite expected at the outset.
The finale saw any remnants of electrification ditched, a phase that could have happened earlier. By now, the zone was perfectly transfixed and if on the off chance there were any Chastity Brown doubters present, their number would evaporate. This was an openhearted performance of the highest degree, rampant with an equal measure of confession and gratitude.
Whether you call it folk, soul, blues, singer-songwriter or whatever, this was just one woman from the Midwest, thousands of miles from home emptying her soul to a room full of strangers. No one will likely have an idea where Chastity Brown places her visit to the Kitchen Garden in the annals of a career, but this evening created an impressionable mark on those present.


Dave Devall, CTV meteorologist and a York Memorial Alumnus started his career in 1956 with his first job in broadcasting as an audio operator. Who would have guessed that fifty-two years later I would be joining him while he recollected his years at York Memorial.
Graduating in the year 1951, Dave Devall was never a kid who enjoyed learning. He admits to being a procrastinator, and recalls his academic experience at York Memorial as being "okay." Playing as a half back on the school's football team, Dave Devall remembers a few other activities in which he participated, including the boy's hockey team, Student Council and numerous clubs at school, but claims that his years could have been better if he was a bit more involved. Nevertheless, every time Dave Devall represented Memo, he felt a sense of pride wearing gold and red and being called a Mustang, a term born while Dave Devall attended York Memorial and still used today.
Despite his "okay" memories of high school, his eyes shine when he remembers Ms. Bennet, his English teacher who became an inspiration to him as the first teacher to introduce him to public speaking. A requirement of senior English class was oral composition, and while most students would rather do anything but make a speech, Dave discovered he loved to stand up and talk to people. He earned top marks in the school and went on to compete in regional and provincial competitions successfully. His trophy now proudly sits beside one of his father's on their home mantle, and Dave's career of "standing up and talking to people" is legendary.
Dave Devall grew up in the York Township Area, now currently known as the York South Weston Riding. His family was not rich, but they were not poor either. He had a part-time job at Loblaws and unbelievably earned the highest pay as a part time student making $1.65 at the time!
Dave Devall began his career in the Royal Canadian Air Force from York Memorial. He remembers clearly the day when a Flying Officer came and spoke to all the students on Career Day. With a total cost of $33,000 to train a pilot at the time (now approximately $1.5 million), Dave Devall joined the reserve. He became part of the 400, 411 and 2400 Squadrons in Downsview and got his Air Force papers there. Today Dave Devall still holds his pilot's license and just recently was named Honorary Colonel with 436 Transport Squadron in Trenton, a huge honour of which he is justifiably proud. Occasionally he can be seen forecasting the weather in full air force uniform when he has been working during the day.
As I sit beside Mr. Devall and listen to his past, I see his eyes light up and twinkle as he recalls his memories in the Air Force. These, he believes, were his finest moments where he was taught morals, rules, and most important, discipline. If you have ever watched the news when Dave Devall broadcasts, then you are probably familiar with his special skill of being able to write backwards with both hands. This was another thing that the Air Force taught him. Early in his career, he was the fellow responsible for transferring information as it arrived to the duty controller, so he had the job of writing the status of the various squadrons in another room. The transfer consisted of writing all the information on the glass wall that separated the two- so the gentleman doing the writing had to do it backwards so the officers could read it.
While in the Royal Canadian Air Force, Dave Devall also juggled his education at Ryerson University. He enjoyed every aspect of broadcasting and this is why he enrolled in the Radio and Television Course. While studying at Ryerson, Dave Devall started looking for a part-time job. It was Kent Thompson who offered him his first job in television and sent him to Peterborough where he auditioned. With his unique talents, and his good looking charm, (thanks to a couple of years of modeling), Dave Devall got a job and started that same Monday. Everything seemed to be going great. He landed his dream job, was able to balance work and school into a manageable schedule and was still able to D.J. the dances at Casa Loma every Saturday night.
While working in Peterborough, Dave Devall managed a schedule where he could study and write his exams at school. Traveling back and forth from school to work seemed like a good plan, but Ryerson did not approve, indicating it would set a bad example to other students. They asked him to quit his job and it was then that Dave Devall realized that broadcasting was his passion. He packed his belongings from Ryerson, and with only a couple months before he would finish the semester and graduate, he quit school. This was his biggest disappointment; not being able to finish an important thing he had set out to do.
When he auditioned for CTV, over 2,000 other people were auditioning for the same position. Dave Devall was not aware of this and with the security of having his job in Peterborough and not knowing how much competition he had, made it easier. In 1961 Dave Devall was asked to join CTV as a broadcaster. The rest is history.
Coming close to retirement, Dave Devall would like to slowly phase out of the business, but it is not going to be easy with his great love for broadcasting, and a strong relationship with all the six o'clock team. Dave Devall would like to start enjoying the fruits of his labour. He does not exactly know what he would like to do when he is retired, but small tasks such as gardening, planting, even building a workbench are things he looks forward to, and motivational speaking is in the planning stages. He believes the active and interesting mind must be exercised and tested, so he is not completely ready for retirement anytime soon.
Concluding the interview, I asked Dave Devall what advice he gives to students who would like to enter the industry. He encourages students to keep an open mind and pursue many dreams, since "life has a way of taking you along the path that it wants you to go, not necessarily the path you want to follow." Thanks Dave, and all the best.

?A fresh sensual and masculine blend with the spontaneity of an active lifestyle.? This complex fragrance opens with a burst of freshness pairing sparkling citrus notes to a sprinkling of green accords. The heart note blends a combination of pink-pepper notes into an exotic composition of cinnamon and cardamom. Oriental vibrations dominate the drydown thanks to the scents of precious woods and musk.


Time waits for no man. Right? But why? This question can be approached from a number of angles, from a religious one to a philosophical one to a scientific one. Le's leave the religion and philosophy parts aside. Why do we age? Do we have to?
Biological species have different lifespans, but as a rule, with a few exceptions, they all age. The noted exceptions include bristlecone pine, sturgeon and lobster. Of course, we could argue, and probably rightly, that they also age, except they do it at a very slow rate.
This theory argues that our lifespan is predetermined by a gene, the activation of which at a certain time causes our death. In other words, we carry in our bodies a time clock, which will cause our death. This theory does not have many proponents, but it recently received a partial support from several studies, which found gene(s) whose variations influence our lifespan, and even the time of day when we die.
This theory holds that DNA in our cells accumulates damage (such as single strand DNA breaks and others), which will eventually cause cell and consequently the organism death. Our cells certainly accumulate DNA damage over time and there are many studies that support this theory.
Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences as the ends of chromosomes. These sequences can not be fully replicated (at least in most instances) and thus they shorten during each cell cycle. The telomere shortening was thus proposed to be major cause of aging. This theory has a considerable scientific support. Some studies also showed that telomere shortening could be reversible and thus it could be a possible way to extend our lifespan.

Can 5G exposure alter the structure and function of hemoglobin, causing coronavirus patients to die from oxygen deprivation?
Monday, April 06, 2020 by: Mike Adams
Tags: 5g, badhealth, badpollution, blood, coronavirus, electropollution, heme group, hemoglobin, infections, outbreak, oxygen, oxygen deprivation, pandemic
(Natural News) Is 5G to partially blame for coronavirus deaths? Can 5G cause the blood that's circulating in your body to be unable to carry oxygen?
What's especially horrifying about the critical care of coronavirus patients is that they aren't suffering from "viral pneumonia," but rather from an inability to absorb or carry oxygen in the blood.
This has been confirmed by NYC ICU emergency physician Cameron Kyle-Sidell, who has released several videos detailing how coronavirus is not a kind of viral pneumonia. "We're treating the wrong disease," he says. And the ventilators are damaging the lungs of patients. He explains:
COVID-19 lung disease, as far as I can see, is not a pneumonia and should not be treated as one. Rather, it appears as if some kind of viral-induced disease most resembling high altitude sickness. Is it as if tens of thousands of my fellow New Yorkers are on a plane at 30,000 feet at the cabin pressure is slowly being let out. These patients are slowly being starved of oxygen.
Watch him explain how coronavirus patients are dying from oxygen starvation, not from a viral pneumonia lung infection:
What this emergency room physician makes clear is that coronavirus patients are dying from oxygen deprivation, not a classic scenario of viral pneumonia. The patients' lungs work fine, in other words, and the ventilators are actually damaging their lungs by forcing excessive pressure into them.
How does blood transport oxygen in the first place?
How, exactly, can all these patients be starved of oxygen when their lungs are technically working just fine? To understand one possible answer, you have to first understand how the blood carries oxygen. It's way more fascinating than you might have supposed.
When functioning normally, 1 molecule of hemoglobin binds with 4 molecules of oxygen, using iron (Fe2+), forming oxyhemoglobin. But this binding is only achieved because of something called "partial pressure" which means the concentration of oxygen in the lung tissues is higher than the concentration of oxygen on the hemoglobin molecule (roughly stated, this is simplified somewhat), so the oxygen "leaps" to the hemoglobin in order to equalize the partial pressures across the chasm.

But 5G radiation alters the porosity of cell membranes, allowing some molecules or ionic elements to move more easily across those members, displacing other molecules (or soluble gasses such as carbon dioxide) that might normally make that leap. For example, it is well documented that 5G radiation causes "Voltage Gated Ion Channels" (VGIC), specifically with calcium ions (VGCC), causing cellular toxicity due to too much calcium entering the cell walls and poisoning the cells.
The research on this was published in Environmental Research — here's the link — and reveals that 5G exposure not only alters cell permeability (porosity), but also releases peroxinitrites in the body. These are inflammation-producing molecules that ravage other healthy molecules circulating in the blood.
As described by Natural News:
A thorough review of the available published science on wireless (WiFi) and electromagnetic frequency (EMF) exposure has identified at least seven different ways that WiFi and EMF microwave pollution actively harms the human body.
Published in the journal Environmental Research, the peer-reviewed paper explains that exposure to WiFi signals, which are everywhere these days, can lead to: oxidative stress, sperm and testicular damage, neuropsychiatric effects including EEG (electroencephalogram) changes, apoptosis (programmed cell death), cellular DNA damage, endocrine changes, and calcium overload.
Note that coronavirus patients are already being observed with neuropsychiatric effects, testicular damage and oxidative stress, three of the symptoms of 5G exposure.
We just created this simple chart to point out the similarities between 5G exposure and coronavirus symptoms. Feel free to share everywhere, and link back to this article if possible:
Mass insanity due to psychiatric effects of cellular poisoning
We also know that 5G radiation and its effects on the cells of the body can lead to symptoms of insanity, hallucinations and even powerful personality changes. Interestingly, CNN's Chris Cuomo already described bouts of hallucinations as he was battling the coronavirus, living in a high-5G city (NYC). As I wrote on Natural News last December:
5G radiation causes "neuropsychiatric" effects through a mechanism described as ion potentiation poisoning of brain cells, according to research published in Environmental Research.
This results in behavioral changes and even personality changes among those who are routinely exposed, researchers found. In other words, 5G is a weapon system that doubles as a telecommunications infrastructure, but the real impact is to damage human brain function and destroy rationality, reason and civility, especially among those who live in high population cities where 5G towers are becoming ubiquitous. That's why you may have noticed increased insanity and widespread mental derangement in those areas.
Part of this effect may also be due to the production of peroxynitrites, which are generated in the body's cells upon exposure to the voltage emitted by 5G radiation, which is beamed at your body in a narrow cone of high-intensity energy. (5G antennae focus energy in a tight beam that follows you around.)
We are already observing the coronavirus causing psychiatric effects, including zombie-like violent, aggressive behavior such as deliberately spitting and coughing on people.
How 5G radiation exposure alters the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen
Getting back to the oxygen question, the answer to why 5G radiation exposure may alter the function of hemoglobin is found in understanding the protein structure of hemoglobin itself.
Hemoglobin relies on something called the "heme group" which is a complex molecule with iron (FE 2+) in its center. This is surrounded by something called a "porphyrin ring" which is a cluster of unique structures (made of oxygen, carbon and hydrogen) that has a special affinity for other oxygen atoms. The ability for oxygen to "leap" onto this molecule in the lungs depends entirely on the structure (which also implies the ionic charges) of these complex molecules.
One thing to note in all this is that without the presence of histidine, a special protein, this heme group would have higher affinity toward carbon monoxide than oxygen, meaning the entire heme group would be occupied by carbon monoxide, blocking the absorption of oxygen. Thus, the histidine presence is critical for allowing the heme group to bind with oxygen. If you mess with histidine, you end up forcing hemoglobin to carry CO instead of O2, effectively creating oxygen deprivation in the blood.
This heme group, by the way, has special affinity for carbon dioxide, which allows the same molecule to carry CO2 out of the body's cells and transport CO2 back to the lungs. Remember: The same hemoglobin molecule must carry both CO2 and O2 but at different times, and it must attract and then release those molecules at opposite times in order to rid the body of CO2 and nourish the body with O2. This is all accomplished with a delicate balance of proteins and protein folding.
The hemoglobin molecule itself is a miracle of nanotechnology. It transmorphs into two different structural states based on whether it's carrying oxygen or not. In what's called the "R-state," this molecule is like a magnet for oxygen. When four oxygen atoms are bound, it becomes a highly stable structure (and appears red). Technically, the binding of a single molecule of oxygen (O2) increases the affinity toward oxygen on the three other oxygen sites, making the hemoglobin "mop up" four oxygen molecules very quickly. When it lacks oxygen, it changes to a "T-state" and appears blue, which is why low-oxygen blood has a blue color.
The important thing to understand in all this is that any alteration of the delicate structure of hemoglobin will impair its ability to bind with oxygen.
Take a look at the hemoglobin molecule representation above, from APSUbiology.org, and note the heme groups which are positioned in four places across the molecule. The polypeptide chains are part of the transmorphing structure of the molecule that allows it to carry and release both CO2 and O2, depending on the partial pressures of the gasses at different locations in the body (lungs vs. other cells). Note carefully that any change in the structure of hemoglobin will cause it to stop functioning:
Increasing the permeability of the hemoglobin molecule — i.e. its affinity toward other soluble gasses such as carbon dioxide — will "occupy" the hemoglobin molecule with the wrong substances, making it unable to absorb oxygen because it is not presenting in its "R-state" by the time the heart pumps the blood back to the lungs.
Stated another way, anything that significantly alters the affinity of hemoglobin toward other soluble gasses (carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, or even ionic minerals in the blood) could "shut off" the ability of blood to carry oxygen by altering its atomic structure.
If you change the structure of the heme group, it no longer functions to transport oxygen. Because in the case of the heme group, the structure is the function. Perhaps this can only be appreciated by organic chemists, but this heme group is truly a miracle of nanotechnology.
Here's a diagram of how iron, histidine, the heme group and O2 oxygen molecules interact with hemoglobin, which alters its structure depending on the "oxygenated" vs. "deoxygenated" forms: (via Biology.Kenyon.edu)
Can 5G exposure alter the structure of hemoglobin by increasing its affinity toward other molecules which are not O2?
The real question in all this is best phrased as I have asked it above. I doubt that we are dealing with a phenomenon where 5G radiation exposures blocks the ability of hemoglobin to carry oxygen, but rather occupies the hemoglobin molecule with other elements that alter its structure and therefore its function, inhibiting its ability to bind with oxygen.
This is very likely happening all across the world wherever 5G is currently functioning, it's just that the coronavirus is now exacerbating the symptoms and conditions to the point where mass death is occurring.
In other words, the coronavirus pandemic would likely not be nearly as bad if 5G exposure / radiation pollution wasn't already compromising the structure and function of hemoglobin cells in the bodies of people who live in 5G cities.
This doesn't mean the coronavirus isn't real, of course; just that these two attacks on the human body have a synergistic effect of toxicity and mortality.
Conclusion: Humanity is committing suicide with 5G
While I strongly disagree with those who are claiming there's no such thing as a virus or that the coronavirus is a hoax, I do agree that the widespread deployment of 5G antennas is a kind of suicide pact for the world.
Just as the Romans built their aqueducts out of lead linings and thereby poisoned their own citizens, driving them insane with load poisoning, the modern world of Big Tech and telecommunications is mass poisoning humanity with electropollution.
Right now, a lot of people are talking about the book, "The Invisible Rainbow" by John Kaminski, who believes coronavirus is an "electrical disease" and that 5G alone is causing all the mass deaths, not the virus. He writes things like, "The flu is not contagious" and "the quarantine is all a terrible hoax."
Surely he is wrong on those claims, but he may not be wrong at all about the toxicity of electropollution and how 5G is actually a kind of "suicide system" that's destroying humanity.
This all deserves a tremendous amount of additional study, but because we live in a world where Big Tech controls all the narratives and censors all those who question the safety of 5G, it now seems impossible for humanity to extricate itself from this mass suicide mission that has already been unleashed.
And that doesn't even cover the topic of vaccines. What if Bill Gates' vaccines are being deliberately engineered to contain toxic substances that 5G exposure will push into the cells, causing widespread death from "binary" exposure and subsequent cell toxicity?
It sure would be a simple way for Bill Gates to achieve his global depopulation dreams, all while administering a global IQ test that finds out which people are stupid enough to line up and be injected with a euthanasia weapon system.

The Homeland Summertime Fair is a blend of old traditions and new ventures, but all Maliah Sumpter wanted to do was send Homeland Center Director of Admissions and Social Services Ashley Bryan into the dunk tank.
"Because the water is cold," she said. Maliah was among the dozens of children getting silly at the fair, Homeland's annual thanks to the community for providing the support that makes Homeland an integral part of Harrisburg life and history.
The 2018 fair featured all the old favorites -- dunk tank, bounce house, rummage sale, snow cones, French fries. Preliminary figures showed the fair raised more than $8,000 for the Homeland activities fund, which helps residents experience outings and entertainment.
Homeland's fair also spotlighted a first-of-its-kind partnership with the Dauphin County Library System. Additionally, the library is expanding services to residents, taking books and activities into Homeland and bringing residents to the local library for programs.
DCLS brought MARCO, its mobile exploration station, to the fair. MARCO blew bubbles that floated across the parking lot transformed into fairgrounds, while kids used their imaginations to build fun structures with Straws and Connectors kits.
More residents attended the fair this year than ever before thanks to planning by Homeland's activity staff that matched an employee with every resident who didn't have an outside family member or friend to accompany them.
Resident Betty Dumas took a try at dunking Harrisburg Police Chief Thomas Carter into the dunk tank. Her daughter, Donna Longnaker, said she loved the entire day.
Chief Carter, a longtime friend of Homeland, sat in the dunk tank to honor a pledge made when employees raised $5,000 for the activities fund. His appearance drew delighted staff and children. He also told two local television reporters about Homeland's commitment to the community and the employment opportunities it offers neighbors.
Homeland has been "vested here," he said. "They have been here since the Civil War days, and they plan on staying here. It's a great working opportunity for local residents, so they are giving back."
"You guys want to join me?" he asked the crowd as he emerged from the water.
"We get a chance to hang out with the residents," she said. "The kids like face painting. We just like coming here for the fun." Her student An-Nisa Ray-English, 5 years old, loved the heart she got painted on her face.
"I chose the heart, and the artist said, 'This is a nice heart for you,'" she exulted.
At the sun protection station, Homeland Hospice staffers Bethany Traxler and Eva Nicotera were distributing sunglasses and sunscreen.
"People can come out and see what Homeland does, not only for the residents but for the community," Traxler said.
At the rummage sale, run by the Homeland Board of Managers, shoppers perused housewares, collectibles, and $1 jewelry. Staffing the tables, Joyce Thomas said she followed in her mother-in-law's footsteps onto the Board of Managers.
Residents enjoying the fair included Elaine Golembiewski.
Her son, Steve Golembiewski, appreciated the care his mother receives.

JAYOPSIS.COM: Romans 8 and the "P WORD"
29 For those whom he foreknew (προέγνω) he also predestined (προώρισεν) to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30 And those whom he predestined (προώρισεν) he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.
Did you ever hear the old joke about the Baptist women who heard that the Presbyterian minister down the road was going to teach on predestination? They went that Sunday to hear him. When they returned the following Sunday, all of their friends wanted to hear about the message. Their reply was classic, "Well, the preaching wasn't so bad, but the Scripture verses were just awful!"
As someone who was raised Baptist, you can imagine my trained aversion to such horrible doctrines like 'predestination'. Even as I grew older, it seemed to go totally against my logical belief. Does this mean that God elects some for Hell?- never be! Doesn't this remove all motivation for evangelism and the Great Commission? Is there a free offer of the gospel?
Even my early years in Seminary were filled with push back and panic. As I studied the Scriptures, though, it became clear to me that not only was this doctrine of unconditional election Biblical, it was also logical and glorious.
A God who planned all of this before the foundation of the world is more powerful and glorious than the 'hand wringing bystander' who hopes it all goes OK.
The ordering of my salvation is more secure in His plan than it resting on my strength and faith.
I have done nothing to merit my salvation- it is a free gift.
Without God's merciful election, I would have no hope of turning to Him. He can offer all He wants to... I'm not taking. A dead man can't repent.
I have no boasting to do at all about my conversion- this glorious doctrine humbles me.
I am free in evangelism- it is not my prayer or my effort or successful technique- I have a privilege of sharing the gospel guilt free.
His plan is foolproof- I am secure.
His offer of the gospel stands... those who reject Him send themselves to Hell. He is letting them have their way. Hell is a prison locked from the inside.
God is not fair...AMEN- He is merciful.
I pray to Him because He alone can elect. If it is up to me, why pray?
I don't know who the elect are, so I eagerly seek out the lost- It hastens the return of Christ!
Still unconvinced? Try spending some time on the texts below. It jumps off the page in an unmistakable way... God planned, God executed, He chooses, He will lose not even one of those who is in that plan.
How awesome is your God? Can he do even that which seems to defy your natural thinking?
Hi there Jay, I ran across your blog while searching for Arminian resources. Let me take the liberty to answer these questions from the Arminian view. I hope you don't mind me jumping in uninvited.
"A God who planned all of this before the foundation of the world is more powerful and glorious than the 'hand wringing bystander' who hopes it all goes OK."
I see the opposite. A.W. Tozer wrote: "A God less than sovereign could not bestow moral freedom upon His creatures. He would be afraid to do so."
God is big enough and strong enough to handle giving a measure of freedom to his creatures. He is not too weak or afraid to manage a world where his creatures have some liberty. That was part of his design in the first place. Freedom might cause us to wring our hands, but it doesn't stress God in the least.
"Without God's merciful election, I would have no hope of turning to Him. He can offer all He wants to... I'm not taking. A dead man can't repent."
I agree with your first statement. Without God's merciful election (the elect are those who believe in Christ) we are all without hope. I disagree with the second statement, over the definition of the word "dead". Dead does not mean "unable to make a decision". Dead means "separated from God".
In the parable of the Prodigal son (Luke 15) The father states: "My son was dead, but now is alive!" The son was not a rotten corpse lying in a field, rather, he was he separated from his father. The biblical definition of death is "separation".
Further, the father did not go to the foreign land and effectually drag his son back into his house. He left the the decision whether or not to return up to his son.
When the son went back, this did not make him sovereign over the Father. One the contrary, he was at the mercy of the Father. The father owned the farm all along, without regard to the decisions that his son made. Thankfully for the son, he had a loving Father.
The parable provides an excellent Biblical illustration of the way God works. Simply put, God is calling the shots, but he lets us leave if we desire to (to our own detriment). He wants us all to come back. If we don't come back, he still owns the farm.
"I have no boasting to do at all about my conversion- this glorious doctrine humbles me."
Amen. We are saved by grace through faith. Salvation is not of ourselves, it is the gift of God. It is a gift offered to everyone, and given to everyone who receives it.
On the other hand, Calvinists teach that only a few are chosen, and the rest are arbitrarily damned by God. This teaching causes boasting and an elitist attitude. The Calvinist can rightfully claim that he has been given something that the reprobate can not possibly have.
"His offer of the gospel stands... those who reject Him send themselves to Hell. He is letting them have their way. Hell is a prison locked from the inside."
This sounds exactly like what an Arminian would say. To clarify further, God's offer of salvation is genuine. It is a bona fide offer, made without fraud or deceit. By definition, a genuine offer is one that can be accepted by those to whom it is offered.
"God is not fair...AMEN- He is merciful."
"I pray to Him because He alone can elect. If it is up to me, why pray?"
The Calvinist asks the Arminian why pray if he can make decisions. The Arminian asks the Calvinist why pray if the fate of everyone has already been predetermined. Perhaps we can simply both pray and trust that God will move. I pray because I believe God listens and responds to my prayers. As James says, the prayer of a righteous person avails much.
Thank you brother- I appreciate your comments. I suspect the divide won't narrow, but I will not let it get outside the family.
I'm so happy that someone actually read my blog- blessings and peace!

As many of you know, we are now the proud owners of our fourth rescued retired racing greyhound. We just love to watch these majestic animals sprint around our yard before settling in to a relaxed evening stretched out on the dog bed. Unbelievably, these large, long-legged dogs can manage to curl into areas that seem much too small.
Ready to curl around your finger is our new greyhound ring. This adjustable silver plated ring features the head of a greyhound on the top. At each end of the ring, are a pair of paws, making the ring seem to be the entire body of the dog.
The ring is adjustable and should fit most people. The highly polished metal is made from a zinc alloy that has been silver plated.


SCRIBBLES. There's joy in a fast scribble. It always leads to more scribbles. It starts to connect. It literally draws me into something. I begin to feel connected. Drawing is a form of meditation. The intense focus carries a sense of balance and wisdom. I never know what is going to emerge as I open the channels and let the marks reveal layers of subconscious imagery. It is surprising when I step out of the moment and view the work. It makes me smile.
