NOTE 1 – GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $2,828,033 and a stockholder's deficiency of $45,567,536 and used $685,359 of cash in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
On May 16, 2011, the Company transferred, through a spin-off to its then wholly owned subsidiary, Worlds Online Inc. (currently called MariMed Inc.), the majority of its operations and related operational assets. The Company retained its patent portfolio which it intends to continue to increase and to more aggressively enforce against alleged infringers.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception and has had minimal revenues from operations. The Company will require substantial additional funds for development and enforcement of its patent portfolio. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the substantial additional capital resources to pursue its business plan or that any assumptions relating to its business plan will prove to be accurate. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient revenue or obtain sufficient financing which has had a material adverse effect on the Company, including requiring the Company to reduce operations. As the Company has focused its attention on increasing its patent portfolio and enforcing it, the Company has been operating at a reduced capacity, with only one employee and using consultants to perform any additional work that may be required.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid money market instruments, which have original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606. There was no impact in adopting ASC 606 as the Company has no revenue at this time. In the second quarter of 2011, the Company spun off its online businesses to MariMed Inc. The Company's sources of revenue after the spinoff was expected to be from sublicenses of the patented technology by Worlds Online and any revenue that may be generated from enforcing its patents. The Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense in the period incurred.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with section 360-10-15 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") for disclosures about Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Disclosure requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds its expected cash flows. If so, it is considered to be impaired and is written down to fair value, which is determined based on either discounted future cash flows or appraised values. The Company adopted the statement on inception. No impairments of these types of assets were recognized during 2020 and 2019.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance set forth in section 718-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.
The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB ASC. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
Notes Payable
The Company has $773,279 in short term notes outstanding at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. These are old notes payable for which the statute of limitations has passed and therefore the Company does not expect it will ever have to repay those notes.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports comprehensive income and its components following guidance set forth by section 220-10 of the FASB ASC which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to the Company during the period covered in the financial statements.
Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB ASC. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. As of June 30, 2021, there were 11,720,000 options and 4,380,000 warrants outstanding and as of June 30, 2020, there were 11,140,000 options and 4,380,000 warrants outstanding whose effect is dilutive but not included in diluted net loss per share for June 30, 2021 or for June 30, 2020.
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB ASC to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
During 2000 the Company was involved in a lawsuit relating to unpaid consulting services. In April, 2001 a judgment against the Company was rendered for approximately $205,000. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020 the Company recorded a reserve of $205,000 for this lawsuit, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets.
Risk and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the technology industries, including, but not limited to, litigation, development of new technological innovations and dependence on key personnel.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to unrecognized income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.
The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
• Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 - Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
• Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company's assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, other receivables, accounts payable & accrued expenses, due to related party, notes payable and notes payables, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company's convertible notes payable are measured at amortized cost.
Warrant and option expense was measured by using level 3 valuation.
Embedded Conversion Features
The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options" for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.
For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation for employees and directors in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation ("ASC 718") as issued by the FASB. ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation costs are measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and are recognized as an expense over the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The fair value of the Company's common stock options are estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility, dividend rate, risk free interest rate and the expected life. The Company expenses stock-based compensation by using the straight-line method. In accordance with ASC 718 and, excess tax benefits realized from the exercise of stock-based awards are classified as cash flows from operating activities. All excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-07.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases" Topic 842, which amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 840, Leases. The new standard increases transparency and comparability most significantly by requiring the recognition by lessees of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases longer than 12 months. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For lessees, leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective January 1, 2019. The Company is not a party to any leases and therefore is not showing any asset or liability related to leases in the current period or prior periods.
NOTE 3 - NOTES PAYABLE
Notes payable at June 30, 2021 consist of the following:
Unsecured note payable bearing 8% interest, entire balance of principal and unpaid interest due on demand $ 124,230
Unsecured note payable bearing 10% interest, entire balance of principal and unpaid interest due on demand $ 649,049
Total notes $ 773,279
2021 $ 773,279
2022 $ 0
The Company imputed interest of $37,810 on the notes during the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
NOTE 4 - EQUITY

Item 2. Management's Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
When used in this Form 10-Q and in other filings by the Company with the Commission, the words or phrases such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "hope", "may," "plan," "predict," "project," "will" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward looking statements, each of which speak only as of the date made. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company has no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes that may occur to general economic and business conditions resulting from changes in political, social and economic conditions (whether or not related to terrorism, war, pandemic, weather, environmental or other factors) in the jurisdictions in which we operate and changes to regulations that pertain to our operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and related notes which are included under Item 1.
We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements or risk factors to reflect future events or circumstances.
On May 16, 2011, we transferred, through a spin-off to our then wholly owned subsidiary, Worlds Online Inc. (currently named MariMed Inc.), the majority of our operations and related operational assets. We retained our patent portfolio which we intend to continue to increase and to more aggressively enforce against alleged infringers. We also entered into a License Agreement with MariMed Inc. to sublicense patented technologies, which agreement has since expired.
At present, the Company's business is the enforcement and expansion of its patent portfolio and its anticipated sources of revenue will be from any revenue that may be generated from enforcing its patents.
We generated no revenue during the quarter because we did not receive any court awards or settlements during the quarter.
We classify our expenses into two broad groups:
• Cost of revenues; and
• selling, general and administration.
We have had to limit our operations since mid-2001 due to a lack of liquidity. However, we were able to issue equity and convertible debt in the last few years and raise small amounts of capital from time to time that, prior to the spinoff, was used to enable us to begin upgrading our technology, develop new products and actively solicit additional business, and more recently to protect, increase and enforce our patent portfolio. Although we have been able to generate funds through our sale of shares of MariMed Inc., we continue to pursue additional sources of capital though we have no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, additional financing at this time and there can be no assurance that any such financing will become available. If we cannot raise additional capital, form an alliance of some nature with another entity, raise more funds through the sale of shares of MariMed Inc., or start to generate sufficient revenues, we may be unable to purchase additional patents or otherwise expand operations through acquisition or otherwise.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our net revenues for each of the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $0. All the operations were transferred over to Worlds Online Inc. in the spin off. The Company's sources of revenue are anticipated to be from enforcing our patents in litigation or otherwise. We still need to raise a sufficient amount of capital to provide the resources required that would enable us to expand our business.
Three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to three months ended June 30, 2020
Revenue is $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. All the operations were transferred over to Worlds Online Inc. in the spin off. The business up to the spin off continued to run in a severely diminished mode due to the lack of liquidity. Post spin off we still need to raise a sufficient amount of capital to provide the resources required that would enable us to expand our business.
Cost of revenues is $0 in the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Selling general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $323,239 from $242,898 to $566,137 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Increase is due to an increase in legal costs related to the patent infringement litigation cases.

As a result of the foregoing, we realized net income of $64,817 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a net loss of $419,314 for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to six months ended June 30, 2020
Revenue is $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. All the operations were transferred over to Worlds Online Inc. in the spin off. The business up to the spin off continued to run in a severely diminished mode due to the lack of liquidity. Post spin off we still need to raise a sufficient amount of capital to provide the resources required that would enable us to continue running the business.
Cost of revenues is $0 in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Selling general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $907,743 from $414,828 to $1,319,571 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The increase is due to an increase in legal costs related to the patent infringement litigation cases.
Salaries and related decreased by $3,171 to $104,065 from $107,236 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded an option expense of $109,874, equal to the increase in estimated fair value of the unvested options at June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $187,546 of option expense.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had interest expense of $37,810. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had interest expense of $37,837.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had income from the settlement of litigation in the amount of $315,000.
As a result of the foregoing, we realized a net loss of $393,040 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a net loss of $740,369 in the six months ended June 30, 2020.
At June 30, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents were $647,115. The Company raised funds by selling shares of stock that the Company retained in the spin off company MariMed Inc. during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company raised $864,926 from selling shares of MariMed Inc. common stock. The Company used $685,359 in cash to pay for operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
At June 30, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents were $1,038,759. The Company did not raise any funds or sell any shares of stock that the Company retained in the spin off company MariMed Inc. during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company used $525,007 in cash to pay for operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Our primary cash requirements have been used to fund the cost of operations and lawsuits, and patent enforcement, with additional funds having been used in connection with the exploration of new business lines.
We hope to raise additional funds to be used for further developing our portfolio of patents and to document our technology in order to enforce our patents where there is infringement. No assurances can be given that we will be able to raise any additional funds.
As of June 30, 2021, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2021.
During the quarter covered by this report there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
The Company has sought damages for patent infringement of the Company's patents in three proceedings. The first proceeding was filed by the Company against Activision Blizzard, Inc., Blizzard Entertainment, Inc., and Activision Publishing, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts in 2012. The Company also filed a complaint for patent infringement against Linden Research, Inc., d/b/a Linden Lab in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware in 2019, and filed a complaint for patent infringement against Microsoft Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas in September, 2020.
1. Company's Lawsuit Against Activision Entities
The Company's lawsuit against the Activision entities was filed in 2012, with U.S. District Judge Casper presiding over these proceedings. This lawsuit was stayed in 2015 pending the outcome of six Inter Partes Review ("IPR") petitions filed by Bungie, Inc. to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office's Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("PTAB"). Those IPR proceedings were finally concluded in Company's favor on January 14, 2020, with the majority of the challenged claims surviving Bungie's challenges. Returning to its District Court litigation, the Company asked that Judge Casper lift the stay and allow the Company to proceed in its lawsuit for patent infringement of the Company's patents against the Activision entities.
On April 17, 2020, Judge Casper issued an Order lifting the stay, and setting a pre-trial schedule with a final pretrial conference and trial to occur at a date to be determined after September 24, 2021. On May 5, 2020, Activision submitted a renewed motion for summary judgment of patent invalidity under 35 U.S.C. 101 motion, and claimed that the asserted patents are directed to patent-ineligible subject matter. Worlds opposed this motion on June 9, 2020, and a hearing was held on July 22, 2020 at 3:00 p.m. The parties proceeded with fact and expert discovery up to and including April 30, 2021. On April 30, 2021, Judge Casper granted Activision's summary judgment motion, entered an Order finding that all asserted patents were invalid as directed to patent-ineligible subject matter, and terminated the Company's lawsuit against the Activision Entities. The Company appealed this Order on May 28, 2021 to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, sitting in Washington, D.C. The Company's opening brief on this appeal was submitted on August 2, 2021.
2. Company's Lawsuit Against Linden Research, Inc. d/b/a Linden Lab
On September 20, 2019, the Company filed a lawsuit against Linden Research, Inc., d/b/a Linden Lab ("Linden") in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware for patent infringement of the Company's U.S. Patent No. 7,181,690. This case was assigned to U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika. On December 2, 2019, Linden answered the Complaint, denying that it has committed patent infringement. On January 8, 2020, the Court entered a Scheduling Order, setting deadlines for Fact Discovery and Contentions, Claim Construction, Expert Discovery, Summary Judgment, and Trial Phase. A claim construction hearing ("Markman" hearing) occurred on November 13, 2020. The scheduled trial date was set for January 31, 2022. On April 8, 2021, the Company and Linden jointly filed a stipulation to stay the Court's deadlines for 30 days pending completion of a settlement agreement between the parties, and the Court entered an order dismissing this lawsuit on May 17, 2021.
3. Company's Lawsuit Against Microsoft Corporation
On September 25, 2020, the Company filed a lawsuit against Microsoft Corporation ("Microsoft") in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas for patent infringement of the Company's U.S. Patent No. 8,082,501. This case was assigned to U.S. District Judge Alan D. Albright. On December 4, 2020, Microsoft filed Motion to Dismiss and Motion to Stay. On January 15, 2021, the Court entered a Scheduling Order, setting the Jury Selection and Jury Trial for March 14, 2022. The Company filed its Opening claim construction brief on April 9, 2021. Microsoft filed its Responsive claim construction brief on April 30, 2021. In view of the Order issued by Judge Casper in the Company's litigation against Activision on April 30, 2021, including the Company's intent to appeal that Order, the Company and Microsoft jointly asked that Judge Albright stay the lawsuit against Microsoft pending the Company's appeal of Judge Casper's Order. The parties' motion to stay pending appeal was filed on May 7, 2021, and the Court granted the motion on May 11, 2021.
We are not obligated to disclose our risk factors in this report, however, limited information regarding our risk factors appears in Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under the caption "Forward-Looking Statements" contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in "Item 1A. RISK FACTORS" of our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The above notwithstanding, we are mindful of the COVID-19 pandemic currently sweeping the world in general and in particular the United States. Inasmuch as our business model does not rely on sales of a product or services or consumer access thereto, we do not believe that we will be negatively impacted by the pandemic and the economic havoc it is currently wreaking on the economies of the United States and the world. Having said that, it is possible that if the pandemic continues for an extended period of time and/or recurs again in the future, it may cause delays in the prosecution of the Company's lawsuit.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 we did not raise any funds through the sale of equity securities.

HATHAWAY - The school board is looking to purchase an acre of land south of the school on Pine Island Highway here that would be used for possible expansion projects.
During a special meeting Thursday, the board authorized superintendent of schools Kirk Credeur to make a bid on the property. Money from the board's Dist. 8 contingency funds will be used for the purchase, which appraised at $115,000.
Assistant superintendent of schools John Hall said the property includes a family home.

Will Trump waste chance to build wall?
Building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border was Donald Trump's premier campaign promise, and he is running out of chances to keep it.
Trump has been president for nearly a year and a half, and has not yet won anywhere near the funding needed to build the wall along the 1,000 or so miles of border that he pledged to voters. Now, there have been two Republican immigration bills in the House, each calling for around $25 billion for the wall, and Trump has blown them both off, saying he'd rather try again after November's midterm elections.

We're excited to have Mary Hooper join us to share more about her latest novel POPPY, which won the Historical Association's award for best historical fiction for young adults.
Mary, what was your inspiration for writing POPPY?
Simply because World War I was a period of history I hadn't yet tackled, and its Centenary was coming up.
What scene was really hard for you to write?
Any scene where a casualty had some ghastly injury that Poppy had to tend to.
How long did you work on POPPY?
I did about six months of research and planning, and another six months of actual writing (which sometimes just consisted of looking at a blank screen and sighing a lot). When I'd finished writing POPPY, I began research for POPPY IN THE FIELD, in which Poppy goes to work at a hospital in France and makes friends with two American Red Cross nurses.
What do you hope readers will take away from POPPY?
The knowledge that times and circumstances may change, but feelings and emotions don't.
I was lucky enough to get into writing teen fiction way back in the days when there were hardly any teen books out there.
How many of your books never got published?
None! I've managed to find homes for all of them.
Set against the backdrop of World War I, this romantic novel is equal parts sweeping and heartbreaking.
England, 1914. Poppy is 15, beautiful, and clever, but society has already carved out her destiny. She will become a servant to the aristocratic de Vere family . . . and bury her feelings for their youngest son, Freddie. He could never marry a girl like her.
But the path for Poppy's life changes when it becomes clear that the war isn't going to end soon. England needs every able bodied person to serve in battle, which, for Poppy, means volunteering on the front lines as a Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse. As she experiences what people are capable of--the best of humanity and the worst--Poppy will discover how to be her own person.
This sweeping drama vividly blends swoon-worthy romance with the story of a girl looking for her place in a war-torn world is perfect fans of Elizabeth Wein and Ruta Sepetys.
Mary Hooper is a very popular writer for children and young adults. Her brilliant historical novels have a huge fan base, as do her contemporary novels for teenagers. At The Sign of the Sugared Plum was selected as part of the 2010 Booked Up scheme and Fallen Grace has been nominated for the Carnegie Medal 2011. Mary lives in Henley-on-Thames.
Have you had a chance to read POPPY yet? Do you find it difficult to write scenes with horrible injuries? How much time do you spend researching your books? Share your thoughts about the interview in the comments!


According to most online fence installation cost estimators, it costs around $2,000 to install a fence. Most homeowners usually opt for a six-foot privacy fence. Irrespective of the type of fence that you choose, fence installation should not cost you more than $2,500.
The maximum cost for a 6-foot privacy fence is $13 per linear foot while the minimum cost is $3 per linear foot.
Why is Fence Installation Necessary?
A fence facilitates privacy and security. It also enhances the visual appeal of your property. With a functional and elegant fence, a property will have a higher resale value.
How Long Should Fence Installation Take?
It depends on the size of the job. Most fence contractors usually take one to three days. Fence installation should not take more than a week. That is a sign of an over-extended contractor.
How Long Will a Fence Last?
The longevity of a fence depends on the material used. The most common wood fences are pine, cedar, and spruce. Cedar can last for up to 30 years while pine lasts for between 5-12 years. Spruce will not exceed 7 years.
Metal fences last the longest. There are three types of metal fences: aluminum, wrought iron, and chain link. Wrought iron and aluminum fences are strong and elegant. However, they cost more. The cheapest metal fence is chain-link. It is also long-lasting.
Longevity also depends on maintenance. A well-maintained fence will last long. Proper maintenance will also prevent over ninety percent of costly repairs.
A homeowner has to decide between a wood or metal fence. A wood fence is easy to install and is long lasting. Those looking for top-notch elegance need painted or stained wood fences. However, these require regular maintenance.
The most low maintenance fences are sturdy composites, PVC, and vinyl. The disadvantage of aluminum is its lightweight nature.
According to the American Fence Association (AFA), chain-link fences are secure and economical. All components of a chain-link fence are made of galvanized steel. Thus, they are rust free and require no maintenance. The AFA also recommends other types of fences such as cedar fence, which has a capability of lasting for more than two decades.

From Despair to Hope – Year 1
FUNDING STATUS
FUNDED!
Project Code: MMR-EDM-DTH-P01
This project follows on from two successful one-year projects to reach and restore female trafficking victims, specifically those trafficked for sexual exploitation and forced marriage. Entrust will support 50 girls: 25 per year – 15 trafficked and 10 at high-risk of being trafficked. The 15 rescued girls will also be supported with living costs (stipends) to reduce the risk of returning to trafficking for economic reasons. All girls will receive vocational and business training to gain income-generating skills to support themselves. Trauma counselling, art, music and dance therapy, self-esteem building as well as justice and education programs form part of their rehabilitation. Accommodation for the 15 live-in girls will provide a safe environment in which to recover and prepare to reintegrate into communities and find stable employment, thus restoring hope and dignity.
Why support this:
The red-light districts have become one of the primary trafficking hubs as young girls and women migrate to Yangon due to economic desperation. We like that the program takes 12 months to restore the girls as research shows that women who are returned too quickly to their families and communities without trauma counselling and support are at a high risk of being re-trafficked. We also value our partner's commitment to continually build the capacity of local staff.
$40,000 per year.
The Need:
Human trafficking is the third largest international crime industry (behind illegal drugs and arms trafficking), driven by a blend of social circumstances. These social, economic, political and environmental determinants shape how people live, grow and work, ultimately affecting people's vulnerability to exploitation. Profit-driven criminal groups thrive on unfavorable determinants like poverty, indebtedness, illness, conflict and joblessness – which is exactly where our partners are working.
Expected Life Change:
a supportive environment will foster healing from trauma
vocational training will provide an income stream to combat the economic pressures placed on girls and their families
women gain vocational and life skills, restoring dignity and building financial independence and a sense of community

Texans Could Carry Handguns Without A Permit Under Bill Headed To Gov. Greg Abbott's Desk
KUT 90.5 | By Sami Sparber | The Texas Tribune
Jordan Vonderhaar for The Texas Tribune
A man with a holstered handgun at the Texas Capitol on April 29.
A measure long sought by conservative activists allowing Texans to carry handguns without a license is on the cusp of becoming law after the Texas Senate on Monday approved a compromise on the bill, sending it to Gov. Greg Abbott.
Abbott has said he would sign the permitless carry proposal into law.
"We should have 'constitutional carry' in Texas," Abbott told North Texas radio host Rick Roberts in April.
Just before midnight on Sunday, the House approved the deal, hashed out behind closed doors, in an 82-62 vote. The Senate approved the deal Monday in a 17-13 vote.
"This is a simple restoration of Texans' constitutional right under the Second Amendment, a right of the people to keep and bear arms," the Senate sponsor, Sen. Charles Schwertner, R-Georgetown, said on the floor Monday. "I think it is a bill that is the strongest bill I've seen in my legislative career regarding the rights of our Second Amendment."
House Bill 1927 would nix the requirement for Texas residents to obtain a license to carry handguns if they're not prohibited by state or federal law from possessing a gun.
The compromise keeps intact a number of changes the Senate made to the House bill to assuage concerns from the law enforcement community, including striking a provision that would have barred officers from questioning someone based only on their possession of a handgun.
The deal also preserves a Senate amendment enhancing the criminal penalties for felons and family violence offenders caught carrying. Among other Senate changes that survived was a requirement that the Texas Department of Public Safety offer a free, online course on gun safety.
Proponents of what Republicans call "constitutional carry" argue that Texas should follow the lead of at least 20 other states with similar laws on the books. Meanwhile, gun control advocates are sounding the alarm about making it easier to carry firearms after repeated instances of gun violence — including 2019's massacres in El Paso and Midland-Odessa that left 30 people dead.
Under current state law, Texans must generally be licensed to carry handguns openly or concealed. Applicants must submit fingerprints, complete four to six hours of training and pass a written exam and a shooting proficiency test. Texas does not require a license to openly carry a rifle in public.
Some Democratic senators on Monday raised concerns that the bill would endanger Texans and put at risk the state's police officers.
"Are you aware there are a large number of families on both sides of the aisle who are literally afraid of your legislation?" asked state Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston.
Schwertner said "there is always a concern" surrounding legislation that deals with firearms and guns and that he "absolutely" thinks the bill will make Texas a safer place.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and other Republicans who were initially noncommittal about the bill were under immense political pressure this session from conservatives and gun rights advocates, who have long lobbied the Texas Legislature for permitless carry but historically struggled to win support. A solid majority of Texas voters don't think permitless carry should be allowed, according to the latest University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll.
Permitless carry saw a breakthrough in April when the House passed HB 1927. Patrick initially said the Senate did not have the votes for it, but he created a new committee, referred HB 1927 to it and got it to the floor, where it passed earlier this month. The Senate amendments initially alarmed some supporters of the proposal, with bill author Matt Schaefer, R-Tyler, saying he was "very concerned" they could lead to procedural issues in the lower chamber.
Some El Paso lawmakers have denounced the bill, noting this is the first legislative session since the deadly mass shootings in 2019.
"All [El Paso community members] wanted was something better. All they wanted was some accountability. Yet here we are," state Rep. Joe Moody, an El Paso Democrat, told colleagues on the floor Sunday. "When the doors were closed, I heard lots of promises. I haven't heard them since."

** I have tried with socket.io which is working fine.
** But criteria is 'net' package
Am I missing something ? Is it possible to work with callbacks here ? Please make me understand. Thanks

A: The data event handler in the net library doesn't have a callback function. e.g:
socket.on('data', function (chunk) {

});

If you want to catch the event for when all the data is consumed you can use:
socket.on('end', function () {

});

Your code would look like this:
var chunks = [];

socket.on('data', function (chunk) {
    chunks.push(data);
});

socket.on('end', function (chunk) {
    chunks = chunks.join('');
});

The green arrows are when he left and the blue arrows when he came home—though at the first and last blue arrows he first stayed with a friend for about a month. I have numbered each banc-and-forth with a number placed directly after the out. I did not even have space to include the number 2 because the back-and-forthing was so close together.
Leave number 7 was when I kicked him out because he was hiding the affair while simultaneously trying to live the life of a good and faithful spouse. This was the only leave which I initiated.
At the end I left until we had not lived in the same house full-time for a year—that period drops off the timeline.
…[we are]not living as married while the alienator is still in the background, but interacting as a family.
During leave 6 on the timeline I started out with No Contact. Now I probably never reached a true No Contact then or even later in the crisis. I retractecd it relatively quickly; here's my excuse—from a post during that time.
…why I now know the No-Contact boundary must change. …The No Contact when he's with the alienator boundary was as a personal protection for me, to prevent cake-eating and to show that the behaviour is inappropriate. But now Sweetheart is in a different phase and thus his motivations are different…they aren't cake-eating. …By keeping No Contact I would not be there for him, and I feel that it is now important for him to feel I am here…always.
His needs changed and so I changed to accommodate the situation. That is a valid explanation, but I was wrong; he was cake-eating. My mentor eventually told me I was making an excuse for contact. I will stand by pieces of it. This was not yet 18 months post Bomb Drop and though he felt reassured, I was still adding some of those reassurance stones to Pave the Way. This post was during the time he felt safe calling and talking to me and complaining about his family—he was Monstering to them instead of me. Was I being a codependent enabler or was I being the Safe Place? It could go either way, but given where I am today I will choose Safe Place. But I was still wrong whenever I tried to determine where he was in some MLC stage.
Are you using the same root excuse? Are you saying the situation has changed and using that as an excuse for friendlier contact or for removing boundaries, when the situation has not changed–you just wish it were changed?
I finally acknowledged that he was in a back-and-forthing pattern and the only person who would stop it was me. The next time he was ready to come back, I said he was not ready. That was 3 months after leaving and I held him off for an additional 3.
We were not ready. He wasn't ready and neither was I. When he did come back for the 6th time, he was ready…and yet he still failed. Why? I don't know. But thinking now I wonder if it had to do with me needing to learn boundary setting; I kept breaking the boundaries myself.
The Crazy time was the first 18 months. We all expect Crazy in the first months after Bomb Drop, but 12 months later he was still cycling and coming-and-going. I made a lot of excuses. Are you doing that too? Look at leave #6. If that's about where you are; you are likely misinterpreting a lot and yet if you are strong, your mistinterpretations are part of the process. They keep you Paving Reassurance when everyone thinks you just need to get real and face it that he's cake-eating and he is not close to reconciliation. Sometimes the excusese are valid and sometimes not. Sometimes they are both! How so? Because though they are valid, you are not yet ready. You both have to experience each side of many obstacles and that has not yet happened.
Those of you who are strong and detached know that. You know now is not the time for No Contact—whether it would work or not. Maybe you would both do well at it, but something would be missed; some challenge you still need to face and learn through would come back to haunt you.
I'll discuss more about the alieantor in the next post, but I want to be firm about infidelity in general. I did not allow Sweetheart to have an affair. I would never openly suggest an MLCer hook up with the alienator. I will acknowledge it will happen, but recommending it crosses the line to condoning. You need to make sure there is a firm line of understanding between what you approve and what you accept as reality. Acceptance does not mean Accept-able. Your MLCer does need to know that their behavior is not acceptable. MLCers get confused when we accept the process because they think it means their actions are acceptable. That is cake.
There are no free alienator passes. Sweetheart lived with the alienator and I did not hound him about it every day he was away; I did not lay new guilt each day; I did not accuse him of betraying me anew each day… It was not a multitude of adulterous sins; each extended period of living with her was one elongated adulterous sin. But that doesn't mean I was giving him a free pass. Eventually I held to the boundary of No Contact with me when living with her.
Up until the 6th return, his affair continued when he lived at home. It was not closeted and yet it was also not public. He had no permission from me to see her and so he did not tell me. I knew because I'm not stupid and he left obvious clues. But none were proof that would hold up in court. I didn't know that one time he was working late he was seeing her because many times he was really working late. I carried on with my life. Sometimes the adulterous lifestyle collided with my detachment. But though he sometimes taunted—usually passively by leaving clues—he did not discuss it openly with me. He did not tell me when he had been with her or that he was leaving to be with her—unless he was moving out.
No I was aware of the situation.
No, Accepting. I could not contol him and it was not my job to make his choices for him. We tried control-boundaries—changing phone numbers, switching cell phones—and they failed because I became the jailer.
I will continue this topic in the next post, reviewing specific areas for concern.
