STANDING FOR TRUTH IN MEEKNESS AND FEAR
Every now and then I come across people and articles that are trying to discredit the avenue of belief that many of us have chosen. The umbrella term that is often used in this regard is "The Hebrew Roots Movement" (HRM). "Why I left the Hebrew Roots Movement" is the name of a book that was published recently. "The Hebrew Roots delusion" is a video that appears on YouTube. "Don't let anyone in the Hebrew Roots Movement deceive you", someone posted on Social Media and there is even a Facebook page called "Hebrew Roots Witchcraft"!
The criticisms that are brought against the HRM are often based upon hear-say and poor knowledge of what is really happening within these groups. But I have tried to keep an open mind, listening carefully to some of the objections against this so-called "movement" (As far as I know, no one ever started a movement like this and I, for one, have never joined a movement like this). But the point is: Not all of the objections against groups that are trying to restore the ancient roots of Biblical belief, are wrong. No doubt, some of the HRM or Torah-observant teachers are indeed deceiving their followers. In many of these groups the proper Biblical priorities have become lopsided and a number of favourite themes have been elevated (above others) in a manner that is NOT in accordance with the pattern of Scriptures. Groups that are aligning themselves with the HRM have not managed to safeguard themselves against internal strife and disunity and the universal tendency to make an issue of even the smallest point of difference. This tendency is very much alive within these groups and often causes individuals to break away from a group that had become their spiritual home for some time and join, or even start, a new group. In this regard, we have no other choice but to agree with the writer of the Book of Ecclesiastes: There is nothing new under the sun. This tendency is spoken of quite clearly in Scriptures and the apostle Peter (or Kefa), for example, prophesied that there shall arise false teachers, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying Y'shua as the Master and bringing swift destruction upon themselves – in the same way as, previously, there had always been false prophets among Yahweh's people (1 Pet 2:1).
There is a certain technique that is often used in the writings that are in opposition of what we believe. I have seen this over and over again and we need to take notice of this, in order to become grounded on a firm foundation, and be ready to give an answer to everyone asking questions concerning the expectation that is within us, with meekness and fear (1 Pet 3:15). The technique that I am referring to, is working like this and for the sake of the argument I am going to refer to the person who is using this technique as "the opponent": The opponent will identify a certain aspect of the HRM that is against the traditional beliefs of the church or against the beliefs of the majority of Christianity. Let's say the opponent chooses the aspect of Sabbath-keeping. The next step is to paint a picture of Sabbath-keepers that leans toward the absolute extreme and is almost a caricature of the true essense of the commandment and the principle. Instead of blaming a group for honouring the fourth commandment and keeping the Sabbath, the opponent will be blaming the group for making Sabbath-keeping into a condition for salvation. This is nothing less than a "technique", because the real issue is not addressed, only the caricature of the real issue. The real issue is: Did Yahweh delete the fourth commandment? Did Y'shua tell his followers not to keep the Sabbath, although He Himself kept the Sabbath? The caricature is that there are indeed people who are telling others that if they don't keep the Sabbath, they can never be saved. What these opponents want to achieve is to throw out the baby with the bath water and in this way they are hoping to bring the aspect of Sabbath-keeping in disrepute altogether.
There are opponents who claim that we are adopting the customs and traditions of Judaism. Although it is true that some groups are very much into the traditions of Judaism, this is once again a generalization and also a type of caricature. There are many groups, like ourselves, who are not into Judaism, at all. We do not have the same, broad definition of Torah, we do not put the oral tradition on the same level as Scriptures, we do not follow the man-made elements of the Jewish calendar, and we do not reject the Messianic claims with regards to Y'shua of Nazareth. In fact, we question some of the traditions of Judaism, in the same way as we are questioning some of the traditions of Christianity. Our aim is not to restore the principles of Judaism. Our aim is to restore the Biblical pattern of belief. Our aim is to grasp and to do the essense of Torah, to embrace the message of the Hebrew prophets, to acknowledge the fulfilment of the prophesies within the person of Y'shua and to conduct our lives according to his example and his message.
There are opponents who claim that we pretend to have superior knowledge of Scriptures and a kind of spirituality that is above all others. This is a very serious accusation that needs to be addressed. There are many clear warnings against pride and boasting in Scriptures, like "Before destruction comes pride, and before a fall a haughty spirit!" (Prov 16:18). All of us need to look into our own hearts and attitudes and repent, without delay, if this is true of us. But we should also understand that putting on the table the aspect of pride, is often a technique aimed at sidestepping the real issues at hand. Some of these opponents are trying to steer the attention away from themselves – simply because they cannot find proper Biblical support for what they are believing and what they do not want to let go. Let us be aware of this and be careful, on the one hand, never to approach people in an arrogant and self-righteous way, but on the other hand, to remain faithful and firm in our defense of the plain truth of Scriptures.
Some of our opponents are saying that we view the "New Testament" as being inferior to the "Old Testament". In this regard, we also need to check ourselves. Because the "New Testament" contains the earliest available writings about Y'shua, the promised Messiah of the "Old Testament", it should not be seen as inferior to the "Old Testament". It should rather be seen as a collection of writings that sheds invaluable light on the prophetic content of the "Old Testament" and as such, came into existence under the guidance of the Spirit of Yahweh. But let us be aware that this criticism may also be a technique whereby the real issue is being swept aside. The real danger is the exact opposite: by viewing "Old Testament" as being inferior to the "New Testament" – while we know that for the Messiah and his early followers the "Old Testament" (or the TaNaK) was the only Scriptures available. They didn't call it the "Old Testament" but for them these "scriptures" were "breathed out by Elohim and were profitable for teaching, for reproof, for setting straight, for instruction in righteousness, so that the man of Elohim might be fitted, equipped for every good work (2 Tim 3:16-17).
Seeing Y'shua just as a prominent historical person. While Scriptures leave no doubt that Y'shua of Natsaret was a historical person, in other words a human being who lived and walked on this earth some 2000 years ago, it also declares that this man, Y'shua, was unlike any other human being who had lived before him. He was given many special titles, like Son of Elohim, Son of Man, Lamb of Elohim, Word of Yah and Immanuel; his birth came about supernaturally; He did not yield before the temptation to sin; He performed many miracles and taught like no one before; He died and arose from the dead after three days; He ascended to heaven where He was exalted to a position at the right hand of Yahweh. The claim, however, that Y'shua is Yahweh, is not true and does not reflect what both Pre-messianic and Messianic Scriptures teach about Him. It also does not reflect what the Messiah said about (and thought of) Himself.
Saying that Shaul undermined the teachings of Y'shua. While some (groups or individuals) in the Hebrew Roots Movement may be claiming that Shaul undermined the teachings of Y'shua, a proper understanding of Scriptures will clearly reveal that this is not the case. Shaul called on other believers to become his followers – just as he was a follower of Messiah and everything that the Messiah had taught (1 Cor 11:1). He would never undermine or deviate from the teachings of Messiah. The flip side of the coin is that many in the christian tradition are of the opinion that Shaul's writings and sayings contained some kind of new revelation. They say Shaul's teachings were different because he had the perspective of "hindsight" with regards to a so-called "change", especially as far as the Torah is concerned, that came about after the death and resurrection of the Messiah. This prove to be a false claim and a subtle twist enforced upon the clear message or Scriptures – something that that the apostle Kepha (Peter) warned against clearly (2 Kepha 3:15- 17) and also something, up till this day, that has caused thousands of believers to stumble on a side track.

What Can Doctors Learn from Studying Las Vegas Shooter's Brain?
Written by Gillian Mohney — Updated on November 9, 2017
Stephen Paddock's brain is being studied at Stanford University. Researchers hope to determine if there is any damage or illness in the mass murderer's brain.
For weeks, investigators have pored over clues in the hopes of understanding why 64-year-old Stephen Paddock decided to open fire on thousands of concert goers in Las Vegas last month, killing 58 people.
But more than a month after the shooting, officials have given no indication that they know anything about Paddock's motive.
This month, as part of the autopsy, Stanford University researchers are investigating if there is any sign of brain damage or disease in Paddock's brain.
Damage or injury to certain areas of the brain can be associated with increased impulsiveness, lack of judgment, and other symptoms that can affect a person's actions.
"Multiple forensic analyses will be performed on Paddock, including a neuropathological examination of brain tissue at the Stanford University Department of Pathology, which is one of the County Coroner's contracted neuropathology laboratories," Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg said in a statement sent to Healthline.
How brain damage affects behavior
There are certain brain diseases or injuries that are associated with an increase in aggressive or even criminal tendencies, according to experts.
However, finding a simple answer to why a person would meticulously plan a mass shooting that killed dozens is likely impossible from a physical exam of brain tissue alone.
Dr. Hannes Vogel, director of neuropathology at Stanford University Medical Center, who will examine the tissue told The New York Times that it's unlikely the exam will result in a clear answer to why Paddock did what he did.
"I think everybody is pretty doubtful that we're going to come up with something," Vogel said. "The possibilities, neuropathologically, for explaining this kind of behavior are very few."
Dr. Ryan Darby, an assistant professor of neurology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, said investigators most likely will look for signs of a neurodegenerative disease or lesions on the brain.
They will also likely search for one form of disease caused by misfolded proteins called frontotemporal dementia.
"It's associated with crimes," Darby explained.
He said more than one-third of these patients are estimated to have committed a crime.
"But most of them are nonviolent," he noted.
He said that this disease, which is more common in people between the ages of 45 to 65, can lead people to commit "almost silly or reckless crime," including things like stealing something small such as a candy bar, trespassing, or indecent exposure.
"Violence has been reported in those patients, but it's usually rare," he said.
Darby explained that the areas of the brain affected by this disease influence "our behavior, our emotion, our decision-making, our personality."
Although Paddock has been reported to have died by suicide due to a gunshot wound to the head, Darby said researchers could still look for clues in the brain tissue.
He explained frontotemporal dementia is a diffuse enough disease that it likely would still be found in tissue.
Additionally, he said any tumor in the brain that affected Paddock's action would likely be large enough that it could be found in tissue.
However, "it does depend a little bit on where in the brain the bullet wound went through," Darby said. "If it went through and really damaged most of the frontal and temporal lobes, then it might be very difficult" to tell.
Other kinds of neurodegenerative disease include chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, which has been linked to a history of concussion or other trauma to the head. The condition, which has been found in numerous football players and other athletes posthumously, is associated with "impaired judgment, impulse control problems, and aggression."
However, Darby said that unless Paddock had a history of head trauma, it's unlikely he'd be diagnosed with CTE.
Researchers may also look for lesions to the brain caused from stroke or tumors that could impact specific areas that control personality aspects like impulsivity or aggression.
Can a brain tumor result in mass murder?
In one famous case, a mass murderer was found to have had a brain tumor, but it's still unclear if that had anything to do with his actions.
In 1966, Charles Whitman killed 14 people from the clock tower at the University of Texas in Austin.
Whitman, who had exhibited headaches and feelings of hostility prior to the shooting, wrote in a note that he wanted his body autopsied.
He was found to have a small brain tumor in his autopsy, according to reports.
A commission convened by the Texas governor to investigate the shooting determined that the virulent form of brain cancer called glioblastoma multiforme may have contributed to Whitman's ability to "control his actions and emotions" but that "the relationship between the brain tumor and his actions were unclear."
Vogel also told The New York Times he's unaware of brain tumors being linked to other mass killing.
"I don't think I ever heard in my own experience of someone on a homicidal rampage because they had a brain tumor," Vogel told The New York Times.
As investigators look for a clear reason for Paddock's actions, Darby said from what he's seen reported it's unlikely researchers will find anything that could be an explanation for Paddock's actions.
"I think that the most likely thing that will come out of this is that they won't find anything that's wrong," Darby said.
He explained that Paddock's methodical actions to prepare for the shooting in addition to his behavior with family and friends don't suggest a condition like frontotemporal dementia, where a person loses judgement and impulse control.
"For these other types of conditions, it's usually something where the symptoms are pretty apparent to family members and friends," he said of a patient's personality changes.
Darby said if investigators do find damage to the brain, even the areas that control judgement and emotion, it doesn't automatically explain why someone would want to commit something as violent as a mass shooting.
"There are so many things that go into our moral decision-making," he said.

Solar Kiln Drying Of Western Juniper Lumber
by Scott Leavengood, OSU Extension Service
from the Western Juniper Newsletter, Vol. 2, No. 2, Winter 1998.
Solar kilns are a low-cost technology used for drying wood. Solar kilns are essentially insulated boxes with plastic or glass panels on one side for collecting the sun's rays. The kilns can dry wood in less time and to a lower moisture content than is possible using air drying. In addition, solar kilns prevent the wood from becoming dirty or weathered as can happen during air drying and provide for some relief of drying stresses. The only energy costs involved are for the electric fans used to circulate the heated air within the kiln, and possibly to operate automatic vents.
Jim Reeb, Wood Products Extension Specialist for Oregon State University, designed and built a trailer-mounted solar kiln for research purposes (see image below). This kiln was delivered to Klamath Falls late in May of 1997 and has been tested on approximately 450 board feet of 5/4 western juniper.
The juniper lumber was sawn for a portable mill demonstration during OSU's Small-Scale Sawing and Drying Workshop held in Klamath Falls on June 10. The lumber was loaded into the kiln the morning after being sawn. Samples checked with a moisture meter revealed only that the material was green (above the upper limit of 30% on a hand-held moisture meter). After 6 days in the kiln, the wood had dried to about 20-25% moisture content. After 19 days in the kiln, the wood had dried to approximately 8-10%. Summer is undoubtedly the best time to dry wood in a solar kiln, but even so, 20 days to get from the log to a dried product is pretty good.
End and surface checking in the dried lumber was very minimal. However, warp (bow and crook) was very substantial. The top weight of green 6x6's was removed within 3 days of loading the kiln (some guy insisted on having the 6x6's for his raised bed garden!). Therefore it is possible that the warp could have been greatly reduced had there been adequate top weight throughout the drying cycle.
At publication time, we're readying the solar kiln to move to Connolly Wood Products in Bend, OR. If you'd like more information on solar kilns, please contact Jim Reeb, OSU Extension Service at (541) 737-4240.
Special Note: The article Processing Trees to Lumber for the Hobbyist and Small Business discusses solar kiln design and use and provides plans for building your own solar kiln.
Many thanks to Marc Kane at Reach Inc. in Klamath Falls for generously donating a space to park the solar kiln and electricity to power the fans. Thanks again Marc!

Derek Jeter says he hasn't spoken with Giancarlo Stanton, but will 'if there's a reason'
By Tim Healey
Miami Marlins CEO Derek Jeter discusses the need and ways to increase the team's revenue, plus the trade rumors swirling about the Marlins and Giancarlo Stanton. (Tim Healey)
ORLANDO — Derek Jeter, the Marlins' CEO, has not spoken to Giancarlo Stanton, the Marlins' franchise player, in the month and a half that he has been in charge of the organization, Jeter said Wednesday.
"If there's a reason to call, I'll call him," Jeter said outside the Waldorf Astoria luxury hotel, where he is attending MLB's quarterly owners' meetings for the first time as the Marlins' boss. "At this point, there's no reason to call him."
Stanton's future is among the top storylines of baseball's offseason, with the Marlins signaling to other teams — but not publicly — that they are looking to trade their NL MVP candidate/slugging right fielder as they reshape their roster under the new ownership group led by Jeter. Miami has reportedly engaged in preliminary Stanton trade talks with at least eight teams at this week's GM Meetings.
President of baseball operations Michael Hill, it's worth noting, has spoken to Stanton and said he has an idea of where Stanton would be willing to waive is no-trade clause to go. So it's "not like this radio silence" from the organization, Jeter said.
Jeter insisted that the Marlins aren't necessarily committed to moving Stanton.
"It's not like we sat down and said listen, we have to trade him," Jeter said. "We're exploring options, what opportunities are there. We're listening. Teams haven't only reached out about Stanton. They've reached out about a lot of our players, which says a lot about the players in our organization. We'll see.
"Giancarlo had a tremendous season. He has a full no-trade clause. I think a lot of this started when he came out and said expressed publicly he didn't want to be a part of rebuild. That's when rumors started floating around. I can't tell the future."
Jeter acknowledged that the Marlins need to turn things around financially, noting that while the club hasn't been to the playoffs since 2003 and hasn't had a winning season since 2009, the Marlins have also been losing money for years.
The Marlins' financial picture and the $295 million Stanton is owed over the next decade are linked.
"I think it's easy to point the finger at him because he makes the most money," Jeter said. "But it doesn't necessarily mean hat's a move that's going to be made.
"I understand the assumptions. I do. But we have not publicly come out and say we're going to trade any particular player."
Stanton isn't the only player the Marlins might trade. Jeter said "we listen on all of our players," while Hill noted some are more likely to be moved than others.
"I'm not going to name anyone specifically, because that's disrespectful to the particular players. But we're willing to listen," Jeter said. "The team hasn't won. We want to build a team that has an opportunity to win. So therefore yeah, we're going to explore all of our options.
"It's all hypothetical. Everything is complicated. I'm answering questions about hypotheticals. I'm trying to be very careful, because we have not said that we are trading [Stanton], so I'm answering questions about hypotheticals."

The DarkVishnya attacks used devices hidden on bank's networks.
Kaspersky Lab has released details of a series of cyberattacks against banks which used physical devices hidden within the banks own premises as a way into the network.
The security company said that three separate attacks, which it collectively refers to as DarkVishnya, may have stolen tens of millions of dollars from at least eight banks across Eastern Europe.
In each case, attackers appear to have gained access to either a main bank or a branch office, and connected a device to the network. The concealed device then created a connection to the network which could not be detected remotely.
To protect against this unusual approach to digital robbery, Kaspersky Lab advises financial institutions to pay particular attention to the monitoring of connected devices accessing the corporate network; use penetration testing services to find vulnerabilities on the network and fix them properly, and use specialized solutions which can detect all types of anomalies and suspicious activities at deep levels of the network.

The gripping, cinematic video features actor David Sakurai (who will be appearing in the upcoming Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald alongside Eddie Redmayne and Johnny Depp), at the mercy of Nina's weaponized arsenal that includes her talents as a former ballerina in Moscow's world-renowned Bolshoi Ballet.

PRESS HERE to purchase. Physical pre-orders are also available now through indiemerch and will include the CD bundled with exclusive t-shirt designs.

Raphael Soriano's Modern Austrian House in Silver Lake
By Adrian Glick Kudler Mar 22, 2013, 1:52pm PDT
It seems crazy, but according to the Pacific Coast Architecture Database, architect Raphael Soriano built his Spencer Austrian House for just $5,000, "which included built-in bookcases of mahogany, drawers and dressers." Austrian was a lawyer; Soriano built him this house on a hillside lot on the west side of the Silver Lake Reservoir in 1937. It comes with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a deck, a teak sink, and a reclaimed wood wall. The listing calls this a "redefined work," which sounds like it's not quite been preserved in amber. The house last sold in 2006 for $815,000 and is now asking $1.249 million.

The R-121 is a thoroughly modern ribbon microphone designed for today's studio and live environments, exhibiting a flat frequency response and well balanced, panoramic sound field. Its ability to withstand 135 dB SPL @ 30 Hz makes it ideal for applications that were previously considered off limits to ribbon microphones.
The R-121 was developed through relatively recent advancements in magnetics, materials and mechanical construction techniques. The ribbon element's smooth frequency response and phase linearity, coupled with sensitivity levels surpassing those of "classic" ribbons, make this microphone an ideal choice for digital recording. The R-121 delivers a consistent, natural acoustical performance with stunning realism. Widely used on electric guitars, brass instruments and drums, the R-121's figure-8 pattern also conveys superb ambiance and depth when used for room miking applications, orchestral and choral recordings.
The heart of the R-121 is its low mass, 2.5-micron, pure (99.99%) aluminum ribbon element. The R-121's unique, patented offset-ribbon transducer assembly incorporates rare earth Neodymium magnets in a specially designed flux-frame, which forms a powerful magnetic field while reducing unwanted stray magnetic radiation.
The R-121's offset-ribbon design positions the ribbon element towards the front of the microphone body, which allows for higher SPL handling on the front (logo) side and the option of a brighter response when recording lower SPL sound sources on the back side (3 feet and closer; phase reversed in this position).

Well worth the price tag, great display. Only issue is it came with a broken display port cable (casing was snapped) which also was DP1.1 so it only hit a max refresh rate of 120hz (the monitor is actually 144hz). I promptly received a replacement which brought the display back up to 144hz.

Q: SQL Query always returning 1 regardless of result I am creating a function in PHP to count the number of same emails in my SQL table, however the function is returning 1 regardless of result. Here is my PHP code:
$query = Query($conn, "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `users` AS total WHERE `email` = '$email");
return $query->fetch();

I have run the function in phpmyadmin and it returns the correct count but, in PHP it fails.
Note:
I have another function which is nearly same and it is working perfactly:
$query = Query($conn, "SELECT COUNT(*) as total
    FROM `passwords` WHERE `password` = '$pwd'");
return $query->fetch();

A: You need to use fetch_assoc(), not fetch(), and extract the total column from the result.
$query = Query($conn, "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `users` AS total WHERE `email` = '$email");
return $query->fetch_assoc()['total'];

Morrison Foerster Boosts Intellectual Property Capability in London with Team Hire Led by Partner Steven James
Team addition brings new contentious intellectual property capability in London; further strengthens firm's premier global IP offering following recent announcement of California-based litigation boutique Durie Tangri joining Morrison Foerster
London (November 28, 2022) – Morrison Foerster, a leading global law firm, is pleased to announce the addition of a four-strong Intellectual Property (IP) team led by Steven James, who joins as a partner in the Litigation Department, based in London. The team's arrival significantly bolsters Morrison Foerster's IP offering in the UK and Europe, adds new contentious IP capabilities in London, and further cements the firm's reputation as a global IP and patent powerhouse following the recent announcement of litigation boutique firm Durie Tangri joining Morrison Foerster effective January 1, 2023.
The team, which in addition to James includes of counsel Ruth Arkley and senior associate Hattie Chessher, joins from an international law firm, where James was lead partner for UK and European IP. They bring extensive contentious and non-contentious experience across the full spectrum of IP rights, including trade secrets, patents, trademarks, passing-off, copyright, designs, confidential information, and domain names. They also have broad experience in handling a wide range of disputes and commercial matters, and manage worldwide trademark, design and patent portfolios.
James has over 15 years of experience advising clients on complex contentious and non-contentious IP, technology, and commercial law mandates, with a focus on new technologies and innovation. He predominantly advises clients in the technology, financial services, life sciences, retail and luxury goods, food and beverage, and media sectors. He has a broad practice, from leading on trade secret, patent, passing off, copyright, and trademark disputes to counseling clients on the development of IP and branding strategies, and on approaches for licensing and the enforcement of IP rights. Further, James has experience advising on defamation, and on the IP, technology, and data protection aspects of a wide range of commercial, corporate, and M&A transactions. James has conducted matters before the UK Intellectual Property Office, the European Union Intellectual Property Office, the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court of England and Wales, the High Court and Court of Appeal of England and Wales, and the Court of Justice of the European Union.
"IP is a core strength of Morrison Foerster globally," said Paul Friedman, Morrison Foerster's Managing Partner for Europe. "Further strengthening and deepening our IP practice in London has long been a strategic priority, and we have been looking for the right, high-caliber team. Steven and the team will be terrific additions to the London office and our powerhouse global IP Litigation Group. Steven's experience and established client base strongly align with our sector focus across tech and life sciences, making him the perfect choice to lead our new London contentious IP practice."
"IP is one of the pillars of our firm," said Eric McCrath, Chair of Morrison Foerster. "Welcoming Steven and his team shortly after announcing our combination with Durie Tangri on the West Coast is another significant step in doubling down on our core IP capabilities and further evidence of our commitment to serving clients at the cutting-edge of technology and life sciences across the globe. We are thrilled to welcome them to MoFo."
Arkley joins the firm as of counsel, bringing over eight years of IP, technology, and commercial law experience, with a particular focus on innovative technologies and data protection. Chessher joins as an associate; she has over eight years of experience advising on IP and commercial law, including trademark, passing off and copyright disputes, trademark portfolio management and transactional matters.
"Morrison Foerster's renowned global IP Litigation practice and its dynamic, growing London office were major draws for me," said James. "The firm's incredible depth and quality of IP lawyers and litigators globally, combined with its best-in-class reputation across technology, life sciences, and other innovative industries, made it a compelling proposition for me and the team. We are excited to collaborate with colleagues across MoFo's global platform to advise clients on their most challenging matters and contribute to the growth of the firm's IP practice on the ground in London. It is a huge privilege to be here, and the team and I are thrilled to be given the opportunity to build out the IP group's capabilities in London at such an exciting time in the firm's history."
The addition of an IP team in London closely follows the announcement that Durie Tangri, a California-based litigation boutique with significant IP, complex civil litigation, and trial capabilities, will join Morrison Foerster effective January 1, 2023. Thirty-six Durie Tangri lawyers are anticipated to join the firm, including 12 partners. In 2019, Morrison Foerster opened an office in Boston, significantly strengthening its IP capabilities on the East Coast. Earlier this year, the firm opened an office in Austin with an initial focus on advising companies, including emerging growth companies, and investors in the technology, life sciences, and healthcare sectors, on IP litigation and transactional matters. As part of the opening, leading IP practitioners Brian C. Nash and Aaron G. Fountain joined the firm's IP Litigation Group.
Morrison Foerster lawyers have litigated more than 300 patent disputes in the most active district courts in the United States. Further, the firm's more than 115 patent attorneys and patent agent/scientific analysts offer clients around the world unrivaled industry and technical experience.
James holds undergraduate and master's degrees from University College London and a postgraduate Diploma in Intellectual Property Law from the University of Oxford. He is qualified to practice in England & Wales and is a Solicitor‑Advocate (Higher Courts Civil Proceedings).
