Peter has kindly written the article below on their family, working life, retirement and their experiences as clients of GFM Wealth Advisory since 2008. We greatly appreciate Peter's contribution to Trade Secrets.
Geraldine and I became clients of GFM in July 2008, the year before the Global Financial Crisis hit the Australian share market. This was an uncomfortable time and we are still grateful that we were so well supported then by the GFM team. Our hearts had sunk in February 2009 as the ASX fell by 54% and superannuation valuations dropped by a significant amount, but the GFM team reminded us about previous market corrections and the course of inevitable market recovery. Indeed, markets have since climbed back and most of our investments have done very well, but it was very nerve racking at the time. We remain grateful to the GFM team whose support enables us to be much more relaxed about our finances, as well as providing sensible advice and looking after all the compliance and paperwork involved in managing our SMSF.
I retired in 2010 at the age of 63 years, while Geraldine had retired three years earlier aged 60. Both of us worked in the Health sector, Geraldine as a part-time GP in Croydon. She also did most of the work in raising our three children while I had focused more on my job – being a typical adult male raised in the 1950s and 60s. We had migrated to Melbourne from Edinburgh in 1981 where we met while studying Medicine.
I had just completed specialist training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, and took up my first consultant post at the Royal Children's Hospital here. We came over to look at somewhere warmer than Scotland, and after a year here liked Australia so much that we stayed. Flying across the world with three children aged six years, four years and four months was quite an adventure, made more interesting by the fact that our arranged accommodation fell through just before we set off. However, friends helped us to survive that challenge and we now enjoy a quiet retirement in Canterbury. Our grown up children have left home to live their own lives and we have five lovely grand-children so far – three girls and two boys.
Work as a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist was always challenging. Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is the Cinderella of Health Services, not well-enough funded or supported by governments and often under-valued and poorly understood by other medical specialties. This is surprising when we know that 50% of all life-time mental disorders are first evident by the age of 14 years, so early intervention seems wise. Despite this, working with children, adolescents and their families was a great privilege as my clients taught me much about life, resilience and courage. In 1994, I left the Royal Children's Hospital to take on the role of Director of Travancore Child and Family Centre and enrolled in a health services management course at RMIT to learn how to manage a service properly and make my service as effective and efficient as possible. This role at Travancore led to a secondment to the Health Department to review the Victorian Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) System and write the policy directions for the Victorian Child and Adolescent Mental Health System.
In 2006, I was encouraged to return to the Royal Children's Hospital to be Director of Psychiatry and Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Melbourne. During this time I was pleased to increase service efficiency and service outputs there, but changes in the Hospital leadership meant that promises of increased research funding and support for a more integrated mental health service suddenly disappeared, so retirement seemed more attractive. Luckily, by then we had become clients of GFM on the advice of my accountant. The importance of being money-wise had only dawned on me when I was about 50 years old, at which time I decided to buy a few shares and subscribe to Ian Huntley's 'My Money Weekly' to better understand the 'stock market' and financial services. Through buying and selling a few stocks every year and following the market, I had accumulated a useful nest egg as well as acquiring useful financial knowledge. When I met with GFM, I was impressed by the confidence and experience of their team and took their advice to establish a SMSF with money transferred from my previous super fund, my own shares and an inheritance from Geraldine's parents.
Geraldine doesn't take an active interest in how our finances work, and is happy to leave me to attend review appointments and various educational seminars, but she does see the wisdom of the major joint decisions we've made over the years. She prefers to invest her time into activities like horse-riding, wrangling grand-children, walking, travelling, movies and learning Spanish and Mandarin. But, we are both delighted with the personal level of advice and support we have experienced at GFM, which has blended friendliness with professionalism. As someone who believes in the concept and practice of lifelong learning, goal-setting and outcome measurement, I have found a very good match with GFM. I'm very pleased to recommend GFM to anyone who wants to play an active, but not onerous part in running an SMSF, so they can focus most of their time on doing the things they always wanted to do in retirement.

Q: Why is my bitmap palette null? I have the following code:
  List<Color> colors = new List<Color>();
  colors.Add(Colors.Red);
  colors.Add(Colors.Yellow);

  BitmapPalette palette = new BitmapPalette(colors);

  var bitmap = new WriteableBitmap( (int)width,
                                    (int)height,
                                    96,
                                    96,
                                    PixelFormats.Bgr32,
                                    palette);

The proble is that bitmap.Palette property is null. Why? How can I fix this problem?
Edit:
I set the pixel fortam as PixelFormats.Indexed8, but I am unable to change the pixel value in order to set a specific index form my palette. For example:
        int column = ...;
        int row = ...;

        // Reserve the back buffer for updates.
        bitmap.Lock();

        unsafe
        {
            // Get a pointer to the back buffer.
            int pBackBuffer = (int)bitmap.BackBuffer;

            // Find the address of the pixel to draw.
            pBackBuffer += row * bitmap.BackBufferStride;
            pBackBuffer += column * 4;

            // Compute the pixel's color.
            int color_data = ???;

            // Assign the color data to the pixel.
            *((int*)pBackBuffer) = color_data;
        }

        // Specify the area of the bitmap that changed.
        bitmap.AddDirtyRect(new Int32Rect(column, row, 1, 1));

        // Release the back buffer and make it available for display.
        bitmap.Unlock();

What value have I to set to color_data in order to set the pixel color to the second palet color (that is, yellow in this case)?

Have you ever felt like a quiet girl is a noisy world? Do you often find yourself overwhelmed by everything going on around you? Are you one of those people who can't wait to get home after a long day and retreat to your privacy, phone off and all? If you are one of these people, you can probably relate to author Debbie Tung and her new book, Quiet Girl in a Noisy World: An Introvert's Story.
It warms my heart to see my children beam with excitement over a new book--especially my youngest son. It takes him a while to warm up to anything new. But seeing characters that look like him in his storybooks is what really makes the connection. This was the case for Eli's 1st Winter Carnival by Lisa Bowen and illustrated by Nina Vanessa Pontillas.
Eli's 1st Winter Carnival by Lisa Bowen takes readers on an adventure-filled day with Eli and his family for Winter Carnival. Through vibrant, beautifully illustrated images by Nina Vanessa Pontillas and easy-to-read storytelling by Lisa Bowen, readers can get in on the fun through the eyes of the youngest in the family.
When is the last time you read a book of poetry that literally shook you to your core? Reading Depression and Other Magic Tricks felt like I was reading Sabrina Benaim's personal journal. It was an intimate experience, as I've never read an author write with such raw and honest emotion about depression. And with every poem I read, I grew more and more intrigued to read the next straight away.
Everything in life feels a little bit better with some soundtrack music playing in the background. At least it feels that way for me. When I wake up in the morning, I want to put my music on. Before I get in the shower, I spend several minutes getting my shower playlist together. Even when I'm preparing food, reading books, or writing my blog posts, I absolutely must have some tunes playing ignorantly loud in the background. And it's been that way for as long as I can remember. Now when I worked in an office I shared with co-workers, I was respectful and wore headphones (most of the time). But now that I work from home and can play my music as loud as I want, I GO IN honey. Some songs just require a higher volume and frequency for optimal listening pleasure.

I confirmed it in Redmine 3.4.6.
Project search should select subprojects scope when the project has subprojects (#30923).
Merged r18005 from trunk to 4.0-stable (#30923).
Merged r18005 from trunk to 3.4-stable (#30923).
I tested the behavior on the current trunk. NARA-san, are you talking about the second behavior?
Redmine searches the current project and its subprojects when you enter search keywords to the box on the upper-right corner. It seems working as expected.
If you click the label "Search" on the left side of the box, the default scope is the current project only.
Maeda-San, Thank you for pointing out.
I was doing the operation of test-2.
Even in my own environment, test-1 has Subproject, and in test-2 it has only Project itself.
In issue9909, it seems that this difference is not mentioned at all.
There are two operation methods test1 and test2.
Was the fix that JPL committed effective only when you performed test-1 operation?
Thank you for clarifying. I think the scope drop-down which is shown by the second operation also should include subprojects, as you insist.
The operation of the search operation should be consistent.
Attach the patch with the fix and tests for this issue and also for #9909.
I think we can deliver this small change in 3.4.10.


After less than four hours of play, the first gold bracelet of the 2018 World Series of Poker Europe has been awarded to Tamir Segal from Israel. Segal beat 2,991 other hopefuls on the road to the first-place prize of €203,820 for winning Event #1: €550 COLOSSUS No-Limit Hold'em.
The guaranteed prize pool for the tournament was set at €1,000,000 but was surpassed during the penultimate flight and exceeded the expectations by achieving a prize pool of €1,435,412 in the end. More than half of the entries were collecting over the last two flights here at the King's Casino in rustic Rozvadov, Czech Republic.
This is the biggest cash ever for Segal and he was very happy to be able to take this back to the bank after defeating Wojciech Wyrebski heads up. The second-place prize of €125,966 is also the biggest ever for the Polish runner-up and he will also have been very satisfied with his deep run today.
After eight starting flights and a hectic paced Day 2, ten players made it through to the unofficial final table. Hannes Neurauter, Krasimir Yankov, and Bjorn Bouwmans were the most notable players on the feature table.
The final day of the COLOSSUS started just after 3 p.m. local time on the TV table which would be live streamed with a 30-minute delay. Hole cards wouldn't be shown until the final eight players had been reached. A mere twenty minutes into the day, Aksel Ayguen found a double-up through Dariusz Glinski when he shoved with pocket eights and was called by Glinksi with pocket aces. Ayguen rivered a straight to stay alive. Another fifteen minutes later, the official final table was reached when Nelio Gatta shoved his last 12 big blinds into the pocket fives of Segal and didn't get enough help from the board.
Flavio Decataldo was the next to double his short stack up with ace-king against Yankov's queen-ten just before the first official break of the day. Shortly after the restart of the tournament, which might have been the key hand of the tournament, Bouwmans had raised with ace-king and Segal shoved on him with ace-queen. Bouwmans tanked and then called to see the queen come on the turn and eliminate him in ninth place. The Dutchman finished in 24th place last year so has improved on that result, but was pretty disappointed to not have come even farther this time.
With the hole cards now being streamed too, the momentum seemed to turn too. Wojciech Wyrebski doubled through Neurauter with pocket aces against queens. Yankov was yanked away from the tournament when he ran his ace-jack into the ace-king of Wyrebski. Yankov ran deep earlier this year during the summer when he finished in 64th place in the Main Event on Day 6.
Then it was Flavio Decataldo's turn to double up when his ace-king held against the ace-jack of Glinski. Glinski himself then quadrupled up to just over seven big blinds with king-queen. But then the run of Decataldo was really over, his pocket kings couldn't crack the pocket aces of Segal. The Italian kilt-wearing Francesco Delfoco had just over a big blind when he called Segal's raise from the button. His ace-ten couldn't beat the deuces of Segal who even flopped a set to eliminate Delfoco in 6th place for €38,349.
A double up for Glinski and one for Ayguen later, Neurauter's shove with queen-five suited was called by Segal and Ayguen. The flop came seven-deuce-ten for Ayguen to shove too. Segal folded and Neurauter was behind against the pocket nines.
Neurauter turned a flush draw but got no further help. He picked up €50,971 plus €883 he won in one of the starting days of the tournament. Five minutes later, The day 1A chip leader, Glinksi, was gone when his ace-deuce were beaten by the ace-eight of Ayguen.
Ayguen was slowly losing chips to Segal when the final blow came when he ran his pocket jacks into the king-seven of Segal himself. Segal rivered the straight to eliminate Ayguen in third place to go heads up against the Day 2 chip leader, Wyrebski.
The chips when back and forth for about twenty minutes before Wyrebski raised with ace-queen and Segal shoved on him with king-ten. Wyrebski called but busted when the king came on the turn for Segal and Segal even improved to two pair on the river to win the tournament.

Video streaming was becoming more and more popular around the globe before the pandemic. But over the last few months of massive lock-downs it simply boomed. In this article, VP of Media & Entertainment practice, Max Kalmykov, explores the modern ecosystem of video streaming platforms – both big players and newbies in the industry.
By Max Kalmykov
Massive numbers of people remain isolated due to the global coronavirus outbreak. Although some reopening has begun, many countries in the world are still shut down. Movie theatres are closed, concert halls are empty, and sporting events are on hold. So, what can people do for entertainment during these challenging times?
Video streaming was already on the rise before the pandemic, but its growth has skyrocketed over the past few months. For many people, more time at home results in watching more movies, TV shows, and other video content. And this increased appetite for video entertainment has ramped up the electrified battle between streaming platforms to new heights of competition.
But who will come out on top in the video streaming wars? Will the big players reign supreme, or will new platforms become the primary sources for consuming streaming video content?

At the end of April, YouGov conducted a survey for Variety Intelligence Platform, in which it asked adults in the United States about their streaming platform activities. As you can see in the graph below, AT&T TV Now, Hulu with Live TV, and CBS All Access experienced dramatic subscriber gains during the early period of the pandemic.
Source: YouGov
For those who have used these platforms in the last 12 months, an impressive amount subscribed in April, at 27% for AT&T Now, 21% for Hulu with Live TV, and 18% for CBS All Access. But these numbers do not paint the entire picture of what has occurred during the pandemic.
The Big Players
Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime are considered the big players in the world of video streaming, while several newer industry entrants show great promise for success. However, during the pandemic, Netflix has proven to be the biggest winner of all.
In the first quarter of 2020, Netflix added an astounding 15.8 million subscribers, which was more than double the predicted amount. By illustrating an increase of more than 22% year-over-year, there is no question that the platform's success is far-reaching.
But why is Netflix coming out on top?
Perhaps the biggest advantage for Netflix is the platform's worldwide access, in addition to being the only video streaming option in some countries. By providing a growing quantity of original content offered in different languages and customized for each region, Netflix has secured a powerful position in the expanding world of video streaming.
Additionally, Netflix has thoughtfully curated an impressive content pipeline, leading a rising number of consumers to subscribe to the service. With its large library of original programming, Netflix will be able to survive through the production halt for a longer period than other streaming platforms. And the company is showing its resilience during the pandemic, continuing to run pitch sessions and operating writing rooms remotely. All of these factors contribute to the positive statements coming from analysts, who believe that Netflix's star will continue to rise.
Although data about Hulu's subscriber acquisitions during the quarantine are not available, the platform has certainly managed to stay strong during the pandemic. Unlike Netflix, Hulu is only available in the United States, but this did not prevent its programming from stirring up a buzz amongst viewers, with highly successful shows that include Normal People and the next season of the Golden Globe winner Remy.
Hulu's success can also be traced to the platform's ad-supported subscription option, providing a cheaper alternative that has gained popularity, with reports from the company stating that 70% of its 82 million viewers are subscribed to this lower-priced service. Another key to Hulu's popularity can be found in its viewer-friendly advertising methods, which generated approximately $1.5 billion in revenue in 2018.
What makes Amazon Prime successful? The primary advantage is the company's decision to provide a bundled offering, resulting in significant savings for consumers. By including free one-day shipping for the majority of Amazon products, Amazon Prime is an exceptionally valuable choice for users, especially during the pandemic, with many more people than usual requiring deliveries due to store closures and social distancing regulations.
Another massive advantage is Amazon's movie rental services. As theatres remain closed, many films have premiered on Amazon's online platform, generating significant revenue and cementing the importance of the company in the world of video streaming.

The New Faces
While the big players fight to stay on top of the lucrative video streaming industry, many new entrants are clamoring for their piece of the market. Although it is a high mountain to climb, the rapid growth of video streaming due to the continuing pandemic may allow these new players to secure a significant piece of the action.
With Disneyland closed, the company is banking on its streaming service to stay afloat.
In February, Disney Plus had reached 26.5 million subscribers. But in the months that followed, the platform's numbers almost doubled, reaching 54.5 million worldwide subscribers, and thereby rivaling Netflix and Amazon Prime for market share. Launching the service in India has further expanded the platform's reach, with 8 million new subscribers in the country already.
Considering the fact that Disney Plus first launched last November, its rise has been exceptionally rapid so far. And with the company's theme parks closed throughout the world, the success of its streaming platform is paramount for Disney's sustainability over the course of the pandemic.
Although the move was clearly fraught with risk, Quibi decided to go ahead with its April 6 launch date. In the first week, Quibi was downloaded more than 1.7 million times. The platform allows for a free 90-day trial period, which makes the true meaning of the download numbers less clear, as it is uncertain whether or not a significant percentage of free trial users will convert into paid subscribers.
Quibi focuses on «quick bite» content, always coming in at under 10 minutes long. So, while the company boasts that 80% of its customers who watch a program finish at the least the first episode, this stat is not overly impressive due to the extremely short length of Quibi's original programming. While the platform may find success in the coming period, its reach is currently hard to gauge. Reports about paid subscribers over the next few months will tell the true story, allowing us to see if the initial interest in Quibi translates to revenue and substantial growth.
Launched just over a month ago, HBO Max has generated some significant buzz. Although official viewer numbers are not available yet, app store intelligence company Sensor Tower says that HBO Max was downloaded by 87,000 people during its first day. This first-day download number is quite low in comparison to Disney Plus (4 million) and even Quibi (300,000), but this is at least in part because it is not a completely new service but rather an update for the existing HBO Now streaming app. Sensor Tower explains that users who updated their old HBO app are not included in the download numbers from the launch date. So, while the initial numbers are unimpressive, they do not tell the whole story, and it will be interesting to see what happens in the coming period.
NBCUniversal launched its own streaming platform on July 15. Called Peacock, the platform's advantage is its large catalog of content, including popular shows like The Office and Parks and Recreation. The company also anticipates great interest in a range of new original programs that will be available for streaming on the launch day, including a range of shows in a variety of genres, from dramas and comedies to sports and programs for kids.
Peacock will be available in three tiers. The free option will have limited programming, while an ad-supported version with complete programming will be available for free to existing Comcast customers and will be available for $5 per month to others. Lastly, the company will be offering its Peacock Premium service for $10 per month, featuring the platform's entire range of programming with no ads, plus the bonus of non-televised Premier League soccer games starting in August.

The coronavirus pandemic continues to be a challenging time for us all. Fortunately, video streaming services allow us to be entertained while remaining safe. And of all the sectors, video streaming is one of the few that is actually growing as a result of the global health situation. The COVID-19 outbreak has forced production to shut down in most cases, but video streaming companies are continuing to fight for market share while plotting out their next moves for once the pandemic has passed. Netflix is fortunate to have a large amount of original programming, but the company's content will eventually run out too. So, while the industry giants continue to dominate this lucrative sector, new entrants are showing their potential for success, and only time will unveil the true winners in the video streaming battle.

🔒 🔒 Delaware launches health care loan repayment program
Katie Tabeling May 19, 2022
DOVER — After years of workshopping among health care industry leaders, the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services has officially launched a loan repayment program for primary care doctors. […]
[caption id="attachment_216269" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Muhammad H. Tahir, MD treats a patient at Bayhealth Hospital, Sussex Campus. The Dover-based health care system is one of many thinking about how to recruit and retain doctors as they expand in Sussex County. | PHOTO COURTESY BAYHEALTH[/caption] DOVER — After years of workshopping among health care industry leaders, the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services has officially launched a loan repayment program for primary care doctors. The Health Care Provider Loan Repayment Program allows for doctors, nurse practitioners, midwives, and physical assistants to receive up to $50,000 per year in loan repayment. In exchange, the health care professional must work in Delaware for at least two years. For practitioners interested in working at one of Delaware's hospital systems, the facility must commit to provide a 50% match for the repayment. Health care systems looking to participate must accept Medicaid and Medicare. "We're really excited for Delaware and its hospital systems, because this program really will put us at the top of the map when it comes to attracting talent," said Wayne Smith, the president of the Delaware Healthcare Association, which represents the state's hospitals. "We can't thank our colleagues who worked to develop this program, as well as the legislative sponsors and the state for seeing it through. It is a new day for primary care practices in Delaware because of their work." Applications for the first cohort are open until June 1, and the DHSS plans on at least three cohorts, in a rolling six-week period. The program is funded with at least $2 million, between an allocation from state lawmakers and a one-time donation from the Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware. The program has enough funding for at least 20 providers, and the state has the option to award loan repayment each year that provider works in Delaware. As the program is designed, one provider could receive up to $200,000 in total loan repayment, if the state approves their annual application for a maximum of four years. Gov. John Carney has proposed another $1 million for the program in Fiscal Year 2023, demonstrating his commitment to see the program continue beyond the initial year. Back in 2020, the Delaware Healthcare Association and the Delaware Health Care Commission started searching for ways to recruit and retain health care providers. In 2018, there were 815 active primary care physicians in Delaware, according to a 2018 study commissioned by DHSS. Further findings show that Kent County physicians were 60% more likely to be active in the field five years from now, compared with 78% in Sussex County and 70% in New Castle County. Complicating matters further, Delaware is one of four states in the nation that does not have its own medical school, which further limits the talent pipeline. Rep. David Bentz (D-Christiana) sponsored House Bill 48 that created the Health Care Provider Loan Repayment Program, calling attention to the statewide doctor shortage and shoring up support to get it signed into law. "When it comes to health care, Delawareans deserve to be treated by highly trained professionals at medical facilities statewide," Bentz said in a statement. "With this law, we can work toward recruiting and retaining top primary care doctors." The Health Care Provider Loan Repayment Program makes Delaware one of the most competitive when it comes to loan repayment for medical providers. In comparison, 14 other states and Washington, D.C., offer similar programs for the future health care workforce — but Delaware is now among the few that offers a greater incentive to practice longer in the state. For example, Massachusetts offers $50,000 repaid for health care providers, based on a two-year contract. However, the award amount depends on the medicine practiced, as the program is open for dental and mental health professionals. Missouri offers up to $2,000 to nursing students who agree to work in a designated health care shortage area upon graduation. The average medical school debt is $201,490, according to a report from NerdWallet earlier this year. Nursing school debt ranges between $19,928 for an associate degree to $47,321 for a master's degree. "It's clear that we need to find ways to attract more primary care providers to practice in Delaware, and this state-sponsored program is a strategic way to do that," DHSS Secretary Molly Magarik said in a statement. "We are grateful to Gov. Carney and to the General Assembly for their support of [this program]." Delaware does have a partnership, called Delaware Institute of Medical Education and Research (DIMER), with the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson, where 120 slots are reserved for students from the First State. To encourage many of those students to return back to Delaware, the Health Care Provider Loan Repayment Program prioritized DIMER graduate applications. In the last few years, Delaware health care systems like Bayhealth have launched a residency program to attract new talent to their offices. TidalHealth, which has a Seaford hospital, is preparing to start its own internal medicine residency program, while Beebe Healthcare is preparing several areas of its own program after long running a nursing school. Beebe Healthcare President & CEO David Tam told the Delaware Business Times that in the past two years, the Sussex County health care system has hired nearly 100 providers and still is studying on what works best to bring the best professionals to Delaware. "We're seeing people that are excited to move to Sussex County and work for an independent nonprofit community health system, and with creation of the R. Randall Rollins Center for Medical Education, continuing education and family residency will take place right here in Sussex County," Tam said. "Beebe Healthcare is excited about the [loan repayment] program's start as it can be another incentive for doctors to come to rural areas like Sussex County. "

Talent or Hard Work: The Data The report says natural talent is an inborn gift for a particular activity and is essential to reach the top, but it tends to be wasted.
On the other hand, it says hard work can grow talent, allows for more success, and is even a form of natural talent itself..
Kevin DurantKevin Durant. "Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard". I live by this quote and it has helped me become who I am today.
Success isn't entirely dependent on how skillful or talented you are. You may not be very talented in a certain field, say in the field of art, it may not be a talent you were born with, but it doesn't mean you cannot be successful in that field.
If you have natural talent in a particular field, you will likely show better performance than other people who do not have the necessary talent for the activity. … In addition, children with natural talent can easily build up their self-confidence and become more prominent than other people when they reach adulthood.
Those who are naturally talented and are hard workers may be hard to come by, but often are the best at what they do. Without hard work, talent is virtually useless because most hardworking people can rise to the same level of greatness. Hard work will always reign superior to talent.
Which is more important talent or hard work pros and cons? … Hard work is essential in one's life and is more important than talent because it guarantees success and talent can"t exist without it. Hard work is really important; it guarantees success and therefore is essential in life. Talent can only get you so far.
Talent Is Superior than Hard Work Talented individuals find it easier to achieve better in life compared to those who aren't. Also, it can help them get a job because their innate talent can help them perform better and it will be very easy for them.
Yes, dedicated hard work is the key to success, and it beats natural talent (and genetic gifted abilities). All you need is to believe that you can improve . The idea of natural talent has no hard, scientific evidence. Even if it's real, it doesn't guarantee one's success in any particular area.
Most people think in order to succeed you need talent. And it's true that for most business and management and leadership success you do need at least some degree of talent. But there are ways you can succeed, and succeed greatly, even if you have zero talent: 1.
Hard work is the only key to achieving it; it teaches us discipline, dedication and determination. Hard work is definitely more important because it is only through hard work that we can achieve the goals of our life. Smart work, on the other hand, often leads to shortcuts and procrastination.
Everybody has talent. … The answer is yes everybody has at least one talent, and it is likely that everybody has more than one talent. However most of our talents are largely undiscovered. Whether or not somebody should work hard to get good at something or not is arguable, and can even be put down to preference.
Hard work is way more important than talent because hard work can get you place even a scholarship to a good college many people believe that talent is more official than hard work but it's really not because talent can only get you so far in life. Most of the time the application of hard work talent becomes futile.

At least 200 million girls and women alive today living in 31 countries have undergone FGM
Female genital mutilation (FGM) refers to "all procedures involving partial or total removal of the female external genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons."[1] FGM is a violation of girls' and women's human rights. While the exact number of girls and women worldwide who have undergone FGM remains unknown, at least 200 million girls and women have been cut in 31 countries with representative data on prevalence. However, the majority of girls and women in most countries with available data think FGM should end and there has been an overall decline in the prevalence of the practice over the last three decades, but not all countries have made progress and the pace of decline has been uneven.
The World Health Organization (WHO) classified FGM into four broad categories in 1995 and again in 2007:
Type I: Partial or total removal of the clitoris and/or the prepuce.
Type II: Partial or total removal of the clitoris and labia minora, with or without excision of the labia majora.
Type III: Narrowing of the vaginal orifice by cutting and bringing together the labia minora and/or the labia majora to create a type of seal, with or without excision of the clitoris. In most instances, the cut edges of the labia are stitched together, which is referred to as 'infibulation'.
Type IV: All other harmful procedures to the female genitalia for non-medical purposes, for example: pricking, piercing, incising, scraping and cauterization.
FGM is condemned by a number of international treaties and conventions, as well as by national legislation in many countries. Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for health and well-being," and this statement has been used to argue that FGM violates the right to health and bodily integrity. With FGM considered as a form of violence against women, the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women can be invoked. Similarly, defining it as a form of torture brings it under the rubric of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. Moreover, since FGM is regarded as a traditional practice prejudicial to the health of children and is, in most cases, performed on minors, it violates the Convention on the Rights of the Child. An interagency statement on FGM, issued by 10 UN organizations, was issued in 2008.
Available data from large-scale representative surveys show that the practice of FGM is highly concentrated in a swath of countries from the Atlantic coast to the Horn of Africa, in areas of the Middle East such as Iraq and Yemen and in some countries in Asia like Indonesia and the Maldives, with wide variations in prevalence. The practice is almost universal in Somalia, Guinea and Djibouti, with levels around 90 per cent, while it affects no more than 1 per cent of adolescent girls in Cameroon, the Maldives and Uganda.
However, FGM is a human rights issue that affects girls and women worldwide. Evidence suggests that FGM exists in places including Colombia[2], India[3], Malaysia[4], Oman[5], Saudi Arabia[6] and the United Arab Emirates[7], with large variations in terms of the type performed, circumstances surrounding the practice and size of the affected population groups. In these contexts, however, the available evidence comes from (sometimes outdated) small-scale studies or anecdotal accounts, and there are no representative data as yet on prevalence. The practice is also found in pockets of Europe and in Australia and North America which, for the last several decades, have been destinations for migrants from countries where the practice still occurs[8].
Prevailing attitudes
Girls' and women's attitudes about FGM also vary widely across countries. The highest levels of support can be found in Mali, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Somalia and Egypt where more than half of the female population thinks the practice should continue. However, the majority of girls and women think it should end in most countries with representative data on attitudes (23 out of 30).
Is the practice changing?
Overall, the practice of FGM has been declining over the last three decades. In the 31 countries with nationally representative prevalence data, around one in three girls aged 15 to 19 today have undergone the practice versus one in two 30 years ago. However, not all countries have made progress and the pace of decline has been uneven. Fast decline among girls aged 15 to 19 has occurred both in countries where the practice was once nearly universal, such as Egypt and Sierra Leone, as well as countries in which the practice was limited to subnational populations, such as Benin and the Maldives.

Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting: A statistical overview and exploration of the dynamics of change
Nationally representative data on FGM/C are mainly available from two sources: Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS). In some countries, data have been collected through other nationally representative household surveys.
A module on FGM/C was developed for the first time for the 1989–1990 DHS conducted in the northern part of what was then known as Sudan. After a few years, the module was modified and has been included in DHS for 23 countries to date. The first module on FGM/C was included in the 2000 MICS in the Central African Republic, Chad and Sudan. The third and fourth rounds of MICS (mainly conducted in 2005–2006 and in 2009─2011) generated updated FGM/C data from 16 countries, including 7 with no prior data (Djibouti, the Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Iraq, Sierra Leone, Somalia and Togo). Over the last 10 years, UNICEF and ICF International have worked closely to standardize survey questions on FGM/C used in DHS and MICS.
Main indicators
The first indicator for measuring FGM/C prevalence is the percentage of girls and women of reproductive age (15 to 49) who have experienced any form of the practice. This is derived from self-reports. Typically, girls and women are also asked about the type of FGM/C performed, at what age they were cut and by whom. Most surveys include additional questions related to women's – and in some cases men's – attitudes surrounding FGM/C. In most surveys, eligible respondents are all girls and women aged 15 to 49. Exceptions include Egypt (DHS in 1995, 2000, 2003 and 2005), Sudan (DHS 1989─1990) and Yemen (DHS 1997), where the sample of respondents includes only girls and women aged 15 to 49 who have ever been married.
The second indicator used to report on the practice measures the extent of cutting among daughters of girls and women of reproductive age (15 to 49). In surveys up to 1999, female respondents who had at least one living daughter were asked about their eldest daughter: whether she was cut, the age at which FGM/C was performed, the type of FGM/C carried out and the person who did it. If the eldest daughter was reportedly not cut, respondents were asked if they intended to have their daughter cut. Starting in 1999, rather than asking about the eldest daughter, DHS and MICS began asking respondents whether any of their daughters had undergone FGM/C and, if so, how many of their daughters had been cut. This was followed by questions about the procedure (type, age at cutting and practitioner) for the daughter most recently cut.
Survey data on the FGM/C status of only one daughter cannot be used to estimate the prevalence of FGM/C among girls under age 15. To address this limitation, MICS and DHS in 2010 introduced changes in the standard methodology used to collect information on FGM/C among daughters. The new module asks all girls and women aged 15 to 49 about the FGM/C status of all of their daughters under age 15. As a result, prevalence estimates can be obtained for girls aged 0 to 14. A key point to be kept in mind is that the prevalence data for girls aged 0 to 14 reflect their current, but not final, FGM/C status, since some girls who have not been cut may still be at risk of experiencing the practice once they reach the customary age. Therefore, the data on prevalence for girls under age 15 is actually an underestimation of the true extent of the practice. Since age at cutting varies among settings, the amount of underestimation also varies. This should be kept in mind when interpreting all FGM/C prevalence data for this age group. Prevalence data on girls aged 0 to 14 can be used to assess the impact of recent efforts to end FGM/C since this is the age group most recently cut or at imminent risk of being cut.
Interpreting the data
Data on FGM/C inform policymakers of critically important variables in an effort to better understand the practice and develop policies for its abandonment. That said, these data must be analysed in light of the extremely delicate and often sensitive nature of the topic.
Self-reported data on FGM/C need to be treated with caution for several reasons. First, women may be unwilling to disclose having undergone the procedure because of the sensitivity of the topic or the illegal status of the practice in their country. In addition, women may be unaware that they have been cut or of the extent of the cutting, particularly if FGM/C was performed at an early age.
Information on the FGM/C status of daughters is generally regarded as more reliable than women's self-reports, since any cutting would have occurred relatively recently and mothers presumably would have had some involvement in or knowledge of the event. However, even these data need to be interpreted with a degree of caution. Mothers may be reluctant to disclose the actual FGM/C status of their daughters for fear of repercussions, especially in countries where the practice has been the target of campaigns or legal measures to prohibit it.
With increased availability of nationally representative data on FGM/C, including repeat surveys in several countries, trends in the prevalence and attitudes towards the practice can be analysed. Despite this, considerable challenges arise when examining trends, particularly when establishing a connection between programmatic activities and changes in prevalence levels over time.
First, prevalence can be compared from surveys in the same country from two (or more) points in time. Second, a trend analysis can examine FGM/C prevalence at one point in time across five-year age cohorts for girls and women aged 15 to 49. Finally, current prevalence among girls and women aged 15 to 19 and 'adjusted' prevalence among girls aged 10 to 14 can be analysed. Several important factors should be considered when examining trends in the practice:
Variations in the number of years between consecutive surveys. This can range from 1 to up to 20, depending on the country.
The number of data points available for each country. Patterns of change are more evident when several surveys are available, as opposed to two data sources.
The retrospective periods involved (that is, time lags). For instance, in the case of a country where girls are cut before 1 year of age, most girls in the youngest cohort (15 to 19 years of age) are generally reporting on an event that took place 14 to 18 years previously. Any change that occurred after this period will therefore not be reflected in the data.
The magnitude of change. Change can be gauged by looking either at the absolute difference (change in percentage points) between estimates or at the percentage change between estimates. Conclusions should be drawn on the basis of both measures.
Survey design and implementation. This could include, for example, changes in sampling frames, questionnaire content and structure, and language used to refer to the practice.

NYPD Kicks Out Mom, Upset Child From Applebee's Over Vaccine Cards, Arrest Others
One protester: "As a black man I feel like I'm being pushed to the side and I don't count unless I jump through the hoops of what the government tells me to do, and they are demanding that they invade my body autonomy."
Posted by Mary Chastain Wednesday, December 29, 2021 at 02:00pm 44 Comments
NYPD has had quite a month thanks to NYC's stupid vaccine mandates. Bill de Blasio forced private businesses to require people, including children, to have the COVID vaccine.
On December 15, officers surrounded the mom and child while telling them they have to leave because they do not have vaccine cards.
A protest happened at the same time in the Applebee's. I do not know if the mom brought the child to the protest or it's just a coincidence. The police arrested four people and charged them with criminal trespass.
What a lovely new world we are living in when you go out for a meal and a squad of police barge in, persecute a little boy then demand to see everyone else's papers. This is the vax passport world so many are begging for. #NotAboutAVirus #NOVAXPASSPORTS pic.twitter.com/ZQFnybs4ly
— Cyn Clagar (@cynclagar) December 27, 2021
From The New York Post:
"Unless you have vaccination cards, you have to exit the restaurant," an officer could be heard saying in the video.
The child appears upset and covers his face as the officers attempt to defuse the situation.
Others in the restaurant heckle the NYPD officers as they ask the group to leave.
"Scaring a child. Traumatizing a child. Hope you feel good about yourself, NYPD," one protester yells.
An officer then addresses the entire group of protesters.
"If you leave voluntarily, you will not have charges pressed against you. Otherwise, you will be arrested for trespass. This will be your only warning," he says in the video.
A black man compared it to the Civil Rights Movement:
Another protestor, who is African American, likened the demonstrations to sit-ins carried out by Martin Luther King and other civil rights activists in the 1960s who were protesting lunch counter segregation.
"It's the same thing, it's segregation all over again," he said on a video posted online.
"As a black man I feel like I'm being pushed to the side and I don't count unless I jump through the hoops of what the government tells me to do, and they are demanding that they invade my body autonomy."
"This is not what America is about… we have had enough and we will stand up for our freedom before we lose it all."
On Monday, police arrested five people at a Burger King, including Mitchell Bosch. Other officers arrested him twice this month at protests against the mandate, including the Applebee's protest mentioned above.

Recall that we emptied jails since they were 'super-spreaders'. And the progressive DAs want to empty jails.
But I bet they'll make an exception for the folks arrested for not having a vax passport.

AF_Chief_Master_Sgt in reply to Andy. | December 30, 2021 at 8:01 am
Every step that the new NAZI enforcers take is the real thing, while slowly acclimating the populace to their Gestapo tactics.
The new NAZI brown shirts (BLM and Antifa) will join with the Gestapo (police), and enlist the COVID Karens to identify and report, so that the population will be cowed into submission.
The practice is to deploy the tactics in cities where they are most likely to be accepted, and to hone their skills. Then they will be ready to bring those tactics to larger towns and cities nationwide.
mbecker908 | December 29, 2021 at 3:56 pm
What a lovely new world we are living in when you go out for a meal and a squad of police barge in, persecute a little boy then demand to see everyone else's papers. This is the vax passport world so many are begging for.
Keep this in mind when you hear people talking about how their local police would never, ever, try to confiscate their guns. THE most dangerous place in every jurisdiction is standing between a cop and his pension. Police officers will follow the orders handed down by their political masters. If you're in the way, too bad.

However, "Where are their armbands?" doesn't compare to the holocaust. It compares to early 30s Germany. Which led to the holocaust.

If the management told these people to leave and they refused, and then the management called the police, then the police are doing the right thing. Trespassing is trespassing, whether it's BLM or these people. If the property owner doesn't want you there you have to leave.
But I don't see evidence of any of that. Did the management call the cops, or did they just show up? Did they first inform the people that they weren't allowed to be on the premises, or did they just barge in and arrest them? This information doesn't seem to be available, and it's crucial to understanding the story.
hrhdhd in reply to Milhouse. | December 30, 2021 at 1:32 am
From the story:
Milhouse in reply to hrhdhd. | December 30, 2021 at 8:45 am
That doesn't tell us anything at all about whether the restaurant management told them to leave, before calling the police. The police don't own the place, and have no authority to revoke the people's presumed license to be on property that is open to the public.
AF_Chief_Master_Sgt in reply to Milhouse. | December 30, 2021 at 7:52 am
Well, Milhouse. Here you are again ignoring the obvious. The obvious is that the restaurants are being forced to be the vaccine police, else they lose their license. They make themselves open to harassment from health department food inspectors, code inspectors, and a host of other administrative enforcers of the vaccine mandates.
So yes, they may or may not have asked the patrons to leave. But they more than likely called the police so that the restaurant managers didn't have to ask for the proof.
Same result. Businesses are being forced to be the enforcement arm of Democratic Party mandates. And the police are happy to oblige by harassing patrons over what is not a law but a pronouncement by dictators.
Resolution. A massive boycott of any business that supports the mandates. No need to show your vaccine card. Simply surround the restaurant with peaceful protestors (not the Portland, Baltimore, or Minneapolis style peaceful protesters). Force the enforcers to go out of business. Prevent the vaxxed from entering the business.
I worry that we are at the point where some Americans have decided to ally themselves with 1930s era brown shirts (BLM and Antifa) and with Gestapo style enforcers (Police in NY, and other Democratic Party run cities)
Milhouse in reply to AF_Chief_Master_Sgt. | December 30, 2021 at 8:50 am
None of that answers the question. When someone opens his property to the public, any person has a presumed license to enter and remain there unless he is specifically told to leave. Upon being told to leave he must do so as quickly as practicable, and if he doesn't then he is trespassing and the owner may use as much force as necessary to remove him, or may call the police who are required to use as much force as necessary to remove him. So the crucial question here is: Did the management ever tell these people to leave? If they did, then the police were doing the right thing; if not then they weren't, and all the criticism here is justified. But nothing in the story tells us what really happened.
fogflyer in reply to Milhouse. | December 31, 2021 at 11:47 am
Thanks Milhouse, I completely agree.
If the owners wanted them to leave, the police were not in the wrong.
In addition, I blame the mother for any of the child's "trauma," not the cops.
Stop using children for political tools in your protests! It is ugly when the left does it and no less unsightly when the right does it.
bedellrt in reply to AF_Chief_Master_Sgt. | December 30, 2021 at 9:23 am
This resolution may seem logical but is what they want. Get the populace to do their bidding.
Their bidding: crush the American economy, making us all dependent on them for EVERYTHING. Everything from the State and everything fir the State.
Their end game: COMMUNISM!!!
Better Resolution: Recalls and vote them out.
When their is unrest and division, they win. Unity should be our end game.
My thoughts on the mandates are they are measuring compliance and conditioning the weak minded to be compliant, with the intent of mandating only mail in ballots, this November. Version 2 of the 2020 elections is on the horizon.
Wake up or be disappointed again.

gospace | December 30, 2021 at 2:32 pm
There were no officers there trying to defuse the situation. Their very presence was a provoking escalation. To enforce an unconstitutional vaccine mandate edict. They were violating the oath to the Constitution that all officers take. And all government officials who issued the unconstitutional mandate. The proper response for police when called to enforce unconstitutional edicts should be"We don't care and neither should you."

PJM Capacity Auction Secures Record Amounts Of New Generation, Demand Response, Energy Efficiency
Auction Maintains Reliable Power Supplies for Consumers
PJM Interconnection
May 18, 2012, 04:51 ET
VALLEY FORGE, Pa., May 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- With an unprecedented amount of electric generation retiring within the next three years, PJM Interconnection's capacity market secured record amounts of new generation, demand resources and energy efficiency to keep the grid reliable.
PJM today announced the results of its capacity market, the annual Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) auction, for resources to meet power supply needs between June 1, 2015, and May 31, 2016. The RPM auction procured a record amount of new generation in one year, 4,900 megawatts (MW). In addition, capacity imported from west of PJM increased about 8 percent from last year to 4,335 MW.
The RPM establishes contracts with power producers who commit to make their facilities available to provide electricity for the PJM system for a year. Prices are established through competitive bidding. PJM's auction also includes demand response and energy efficiency providers.
This year, the auction procured 164,561 MW of capacity resources at a base price of $136 per MW. A megawatt is enough electricity to power 800 to 1,000 homes. PJM's all-time peak demand is 158,448 MW. Prices were higher in northern Ohio and the Mid-Atlantic region.
"PJM is effectively, efficiently and reliably handling a massive shift in generation from coal to natural gas," said Andy Ott, PJM senior vice president – Markets. "The RPM auction is addressing, in a quick and orderly manner, what could have been a prolonged and uncertain process to identify replacement resources. Simply put, RPM was put to the test and performed well."
Ott added, "Nevertheless, much work needs to be done, including transmission upgrades required by plant retirements in order to deliver power supplies to population centers."
In addition to new generation, most of it natural gas-fired, the capacity auction also procured 14,833 MW of demand response, a 5 percent increase over last year, and energy efficiency, a 12 percent increase. The amount of demand response was also a record for PJM, as well as for renewable generation. Solar increased to 56 MW of solar — a 22 percent increase over last year – and wind increased to 796 MW – a 15 percent increase.
"Capacity prices were higher than last year's because of retirements of existing coal-fired generation resulting largely from environmental regulations which go into effect in 2015," Ott said. "The retirements impacted northern Ohio to a larger extent than the rest of PJM for several reasons including inherent transmission restrictions, and the level of retirements in that area relative to the rest of PJM. Yesterday, PJM's board approved significant upgrades to address the transmission issues."
In northern Ohio served by FirstEnergy, the price will be $357 per megawatt.
The price of capacity in much of the Mid-Atlantic area will be $167 per megawatt. The area includes the regions served by Atlantic City Electric, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company, Delmarva Power, Jersey Central Power and Light Company (JCP&L), Metropolitan Edison Company (Met-Ed), PECO, Pennsylvania Electric Company (Penelec), Pepco, PPL Electric Utilities, Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) and Rockland Electric Company.
Ott noted that the 2015 capacity prices' overall effect on retail consumers' electricity rates is expected to be moderated by other factors. "Capacity is a fairly small component of the retail price of electricity, and the cost of capacity at the retail level tends to be averaged out over several years," Ott explained. "In addition, if natural gas prices remain low, that would tend to restrain retail electricity prices."
Concurrent with the capacity auction, PJM's planning process is ensuring that electric transmission improvements are built to deliver power where it is needed. Yesterday, the PJM Board approved $2 billion in electric transmission system upgrades to strengthen the transmission grid in response to the announced retirements of nearly 14,000 MW of coal-fired generation because of environmental regulations.
"The transparent way in which PJM's planning process identifies needed transmission upgrades is working in tandem with the capacity market results we are announcing today," said Terry Boston, president and chief executive officer. "Together, they are proving to be the best mechanisms for responding to the challenges of this unprecedented change in fuel mix and will help us keep the lights on."
Although the RPM auction procured sufficient resources to meet the projected demand, some generating units may need to remain available beyond their proposed retirement dates until transmission upgrades are completed. These units would be operated under "reliability must run" agreements.
PJM Interconnection, founded in 1927, ensures the reliability of the high-voltage electric power system serving 60 million people in all or parts of Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. PJM coordinates and directs the operation of the region's transmission grid, which includes 62,000 miles of transmission lines; administers a competitive wholesale electricity market; and plans regional transmission expansion improvements to maintain grid reliability and relieve congestion.

BNP leader Nick Griffin has attacked the media and the UK's "political elite", saying that voters had given their verdict on their "lies".
His comments came after the British National Party won two sets in the European Parliament. It is the first time the far-right group will have MEPs in Brussels.


The drug product here at issue is the "statin" having the brand name Crestor®. The active ingredient of Crestor® is rosuvastatin. In suit is United States Reissue Patent No. 37,314 ("the '314 patent"), which is a reissue of United States Patent No.5,260,440 ("the '440 patent"). The patentee is "Shionogi" and the exclusive licensee is "Astrazeneca" (collectively "Plaintiffs"). Several generic producers (Defendants) initiated a challenge to the '314 patent by filing an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) accompanied by a Paragraph IV certification. The Defendants argued that the '314 patent is invalid on the ground of obviousness and improper reissue, and that the patent is unenforceable for inequitable conduct in the USPTO. The district court ruled that the '314 patent is valid, enforceable, and infringed. All of the Defendants appeal the rulings of validity and enforceability.
The district court concluded that the Defendants did not demonstrate the required motivation for selecting Sandoz Compound 1b as a lead compound, or for making this specific sulfonyl change in the Compound 1b molecule. See Eli Lilly & Co. v. Zenith Goldline Pharms.,471 F.3d 1369, 1379 (Fed. Cir. 2006) (considering whether a prior art compound would have been chosen as a lead compound). We agree that "obvious to try" was negated by the general skepticism concerning pyrimidine-based statins, the fact that other pharmaceutical companies had abandoned this general structure, and the evidence that the prior art taught a preference not for hydrophilic substituents but for lipophilic substituents at the C2 position. See Takeda Chem.
Indus., Ltd. v. Alphapharm Pty., 492 F.3d 1350, 1357 (Fed.Cir. 2007) ("[I]n cases involving new chemical compounds, it remains necessary to identify some reason that would have led a chemist to modify a known compound in a particular manner to establish prima facie obviousness of a new claimed compound."). The district court correctly held that patent invalidity on the ground of obviousness had not been shown for the compound rosuvastatin. That ruling is affirmed.
Although the references were held by the PTO not to negate patentability of rosuvastatin, as affirmed ante, we do not disturb the district court's finding of materiality.
The district court found that the Defendants did not establish that either Ms. Kitamura or Mr. Shibata withheld the Sandoz and Bayer references with deceptive intent. Although deceptive intent may be inferred from circumstantial evidence, the inference "must not only be based on sufficient evidence and be reasonable in light of that evidence, but it must also be the single most reasonable inference able to be drawn from the evidence to meet the clear and convincing standard." Star Scientific, 537 F.3d at 1366; see also Therasense, 649 F.3d at 1290. We agree that clear and convincing evidence did not show that Ms. Kitamura and Mr. Shibata made a deliberate decision to withhold references from the PTO. The court in Therasense sought to impart objectivity to the law of inequitable conduct by requiring that "the accused infringer must prove that the patentee acted with the specific intent to deceive the PTO," 649 F.3d at 1290. Recognizing the complexity of patent prosecution, negligence—even gross negligence—is insufficient to establish deceptive intent. We affirm that unenforceability based on inequitable conduct was not established.
The Defendants also argued that the '314 patent was improperly reissued, arguing that the statutory reissue requirement of error without deceptive intent had not been met. The Defendants argued that (1) there was no error, and (2) there was deceptive intent. In view of the circumstances necessitating the reissue procedure in order to bring the uncited references before the examiner, it is not clear how the limitation of the claims to the compound of commercial interest suggests that the prior flawed procedures were based on deceptive intent. In sum, the district court correctly found that reissue was available, and that the scope of the reissue was in accordance with law.
The judgment of infringement against all of the Defendants is affirmed.

Q: Sorting dataframe by multiple changing values I have a DataFrame that is the result of a large SQL query. I am trying to sort the DataFrame into 2 separate DataFrames. NVI and Main. They are both a list of repairs to trucks. I need to sort it based on if there is a specific profile id which is 7055. Which will go into the NVI DataFrame
If that job is encountered I need to grab the values from the "RO" "Unit Number" and Repair Date column. I then need to take those values and search the DataFrame again and grab any rows that have a matching RO and Unit number or a matching Unit number and a Repair date that is equal to or earlier than the date value in the the row that the 7055 was found. Those rows then need to go into the NVI df. Any remaining rows that do not match will go into the Main df.
The only static value is the profile id of 7055. The RO Unit Number and Repair date will all be different.
class nvi_dict(dict):
    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        key = key.profile()
        super().__setitem__(key, value)
nvisort = pd.DataFrame()
def sort_nvi_dict(row, component):
    if row ['PROFILE_ID'] in cfg[component]['nvi']:
        nvi_ro = nvi_dict()
        nvi_ro ['RO'] = row ['RO']
        nvi_ro ['UnitNum'] = row ['VFUNIT']
        nvi_ro ['date']= row['REPAIR_DATE']
        nvisort = nvidf.apply(lambda x: sort_nvi_dict(x, 'nvi_ro'), axis=1, result_type='expand')

I thought about trying to use a class to create a temp dict object to store the values from RO, UnitNum and Date. Which I can then call on to iterate over the df again looking for matching values.
I am using a .yml file to store dictionaries. That I am using to further sort each of the NVI and Main df's after they have been sorted out. Because they will then need to each be sorted by truck manufacturer

A: From what i understand of your question, you want to divide a dataframe into 2 based on certain conditions?
df1 = df[<condition>]

condition can be - df[profile id] == 7055 and Allunits.contains(df[unit])

A: I think this might work, unable to test without the test data though...
df1 = nvisort[nvisort['profile_id'] = 7055]
df2 = pd.merge(nvisort,df1[['RO','Unit Number']],on=['RO','Unit number'],how='right')
df3 = pd.merge(nvisort,df1[['Unit Number','Repair Date']],on='Unit Number'],how='right')
df3 = df3[df3['Repair Date_x'] <= df3['Repair Date_y']]
df3 = df3.drop(columns='Repair Date_y']
df3 = df3.rename(columns={'Repair Date_x':'Repair Date'})

NVI = pd.concat([df1,df2,df3])
Main = pd.concat([NVI,nvisort]).drop_duplicates(keep=False)

I'm assuming that your original/starting dataframe here is the nvisort, and then we filter that just to get profile_id of 7055 and call that df1
Then we are going to get your two different pieces of criteria into df2 and df3.
df2 is just a filter on the original dataframe where RO and Unit Number match, so we can use pd.merge() to effectively get that filter.
df3 is a more complicated filter since it is the less than or equal, not the equal. So first we do the merge to filter on matching unit numbers, but we also bring over the Repair Date from both tables into df3, and these get appended _x and _y on the column names. So then we filter where the date on the _x is less than on _y and then clean it up.
Last, you get Main by finding everything from the original nvisort that is not in NVI. Since NVI is a subset of nvisort, you can just concat them and drop all duplicates, leaving only data that exists in one of the dataframes.

The former Conservative parliamentary secretary, who left the party after being denied the chance to run, was defeated Sunday by lawyer and long-time Liberal volunteer Marco Mendicino. Party officials initially said Mendicino garnered 1,127 votes to 792 for Adams, The Canadian Press reported, but updated numbers provided by Mendicino's campaign put him at 1,178 to Adams's 745.
Adams is declining interview requests, leaving many wondering what comes next for one of the party's most recognizable MPs.

Mayor Lightfoot Tells McDonald's CEO to 'Educate Himself' After He Warns of Rising Crime
By: Jason Walsh
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot shot back at McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski after he highlighted the rising crime in the city, telling him he needs to "educate himself."
"I think what would have been helpful is for the McDonald's CEO to educate himself before he spoke," the Chicago Democrat said.
In a recent speech at the Economic Club of Chicago luncheon, Kempczinski warned it was time to "face facts" and acknowledge that companies are leaving Chicago due to soaring crime.
"The fact is that there are fewer large companies headquartered in Chicago this year than last year," Kempczinski said.
Kempczinski added that the city's crime is affecting his company's ability to recruit top talent, and employees have been hesitant to return to work.
But Lightfoot also pointed to a letter from World Business Chicago President Michael Fassnacht that she says "lays out in exact detail all the good news, economic news, about what's happening in our city."
"I'm going to focus on those things and not the comments of CEO of McDonald's," Lightfoot said.
RELATED: Two-Thirds of San Francisco Residents Plan to Flee Due to Crime, Homelessness
Meanwhile, several high-profile companies have announced they are leaving Chicago, citing rising crime as a factor in the decision.
Chicago saw its deadliest year in a quarter-century in 2021 with 797 homicides, the most since 1996 – and 25 more than were recorded in 2020.
There were also 3,561 shooting incidents in 2021, with over 300 more recorded in 2020 and a staggering 1,415 more than in 2019.
Last month, Lightfoot claimed that Chicago has been investing in ways to prevent gun violence in the city, arguing it's playing a role in a downward trend in crime.
"We rank 3rd among 50 U.S. cities for violence prevention programs, services and policies," Lightfoot said.
"And this, to us, is a very big deal, we are grateful for the recognition."
There is still no evidence for Lightfoot's claims.

"We rank 3rd among 50 U.S. cities for violence prevention programs, services and policies," says Lori Lightweight. Probably ranked about last in these programs having any effect in actually reducing violence.
Ahh to be a liberal where you get points for effort and not results. No one cares, except those benefiting financially, about being 3rd in "violence prevention programs" if it is still too violent for people to be safe.

"And this, to us, is a very big deal, we are grateful for the recognition." A nice summary of precisely what is wrong. Admiral Ackbar and her city get recognition, a participation trophy, so they can pretend they are doing a great job and then lie to your face. Her citizens get headstones.
The consequences for measuring programs, services and policies are awards. The consequence for wasting time and money on creating spiffy programs, services and policies and then measuring and celebrating THEM instead of measuring their actual, reality based violence reduction RESULTS is misery and fear in a city where hundreds are murdered on the streets every year.
In the words of a splendid advertisement (The Scream) that Chicago local television refuses to air, "how bad does it have to get?"
That this little outburst by Mayor Ackbar is aimed at the CEO of MacDonald's offers a chance for an interesting comparison.
Imagine that five or six MacDonald's customers in Chicago were dying every weekend from food poisoning. Now imagine further that the response from the CEO was to create a plan to reduce the rate of poisoning and d***h. Imagine further that despite his plan, deaths continued. Now CAN you possibly imagine 1) that anyone would decide that his plan was great, deserving or recognition, ranking among the best anti-food-poisoning plans around? Or 2) that he would stand in the midst of poisoned customers and brag about what a great plan he has? Or 3) that he would keep his job?
People of low character only like for their "praised", not criticized (even constructively). The mayor needed to heed the CEO's speech; instead, she dismissed it.

I would like to point out that under Mayor Beetlejuice there has not been a single tidal wave hit Chicago. Nor have there been any elephant stampedes. (Not counting black Friday at the Walmarts). No Earthquakes or fires. It just shows you her policies are working by showing the country that Chicago is so bad, that even natural disasters stay away.
