Q: DOM querySelectorAll - element ID not starting with In an HTML document I have a large inline SVG object with groups bearing a variety of IDs (or none at all).  I want to find all groups other than those whose IDs start with the letter sequences l0pzlo, l1pzloand l2pzlo.  The task of finding just those IDs is easy
element.querySelectorAll("[id^=l0pzlo_],[id^=l1pzlo_],[id^=l2pzlo_]")

does the trick.  However, I cannot work out how to get only those elements whose IDs DO NOT start with any of the three prefixes given above.  I have attempted to use :notin a variety of different ways, e.g.
element.querySelectorAll(:not('[(id^=l0pzlo)]'))";

but nothing seems to be to the liking of the browser.  How can I do this?

A: I think it would be more useful to leave my own answer here rather than just delete the question
element.querySelectorAll('*:not([id^=l0pzlo]):not([id^=l1pzlo]):not([id^=l2pzlo])');

works.  Think of it as going about the task of filtering in a non-greedy way.  First you get absolutely everything and then progressively filter out what you don't need with a sequence of one or more :nots

With its 217 horsepower turbocharged, intercooled engine, the pristine Porsche 944 Turbo could race from 0-60 faster than you can read this sentence. Of course performance isn't everything; so the designers gave it perfect balance, silky handling, heated and powered leather seats and the kind of fuel efficiency that makes OPEC cry. If all of that has you dreaming gear head dreams, don't despair! The full-size Porsche is probably out of reach but this limited edition kit features a beautifully modeled 1/24 scale car with all the details.

Food was good, and the help there were attentive. Will come up to your table to refill water without you asking. Will go back again.
Jumping Jack is located in the corner of Orchard Central's B1. Unless you are familiar with the interchangeable alleys of Orchard Central and Orchard Gateway, chances are, you will take some time finding the place. As the restaurant remained fairly filled (on a Saturday evening), getting the staff's attention was easy. Food wise, we had the truffle fries, a main of sirloin steak and a main of fish & chips. The mains were disappointing. Portion size was normal but the steak and fish tasted awkward; did not taste like real fish/steak. For my company and I, we took comfort in the fries we ordered. In addition to the truffle fries, we requested for waffle fries and plain fries with our mains. Drinking water is chargeable at 30cents per glass; consolation is that the glass is re-fillable. Given the restaurant was not crowded and we had a corner seat, Jumping Jack can be a good place for a small group of friends to meet and chill over fries and some drinks.
Very cheap food in Orchard Central, tucked at the corner under Uniqlo. Quality is medium low (similar to Jack's place which is its sister coy), but is excellent value given its price and location.
Attentive service staff. Relaxed ambience. We enjoyed the mini tiramisu and the flaming spring chicken. The lobster bisque is tad salty. Water is chargeable but fortunately we had a promotinal meal that came with a glass of complimentary red wine.
Good svc, awesome food and most importantly reasonable n affordable price. Will definitely revisit with friends for lunch as it is near to our work place.
The food is value for money. Had the set meal promo where 1 side + 1 drink/dessert are complimentary with every main course ordered. However, the taste of the food is mediocre.
Cosy location but gets noisy with a large group seated nearby; definitely good for group gatherings. Food is hearty and comes in good portions. Service is attentive and friendly.

(Note the laxly schema valid generation means that the content permitted by xsd:ANY need not be valid.) Implementations should create these XML structures (EncryptedType elements and their descendants/content) in Normalization Form C [NFC].
CarriedKeyName is an optional element for associating a user readable name with the key value. This may then be used to reference the key using the ds:KeyName element within ds:KeyInfo. The same CarriedKeyName label, unlike an ID type, may occur multiple times within a single document. The value of the key must be the same in all EncryptedKey elements identified with the same CarriedKeyName label within a single XML document. Note that because whitespace is significant in the value of the ds:KeyName element, whitespace is also significant in the value of the CarriedKeyName element.
The ds:RetrievalMethod [XMLDSIG-CORE1] with a Type of 'http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#EncryptedKey' provides a way to express a link to an EncryptedKey element containing the key needed to decrypt the CipherData associated with an EncryptedData or EncryptedKey element. The ds:RetrievalMethod [XMLDSIG-CORE1] with a Type of 'http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#DerivedKey' provides a way to express a link to a DerivedKey element used to derive the key needed to decrypt the CipherData associated with an EncryptedData or EncryptedKey element. The ds:RetrievalMethod with one of these types is always a child of the ds:KeyInfo element and may appear multiple times. If there is more than one instance of a ds:RetrievalMethod in a ds:KeyInfo of this type, then the EncryptedKey objects referred to must contain the same key value, possibly encrypted in different ways or for different recipients.
ReferenceList is an element that contains pointers from a key value of an EncryptedKey or DerivedKey to items encrypted by that key value (EncryptedData or EncryptedKey elements).
If XML Encryption is used with an EXI stream [EXI], then Encryptors and Decryptors process content as for XML element or XML content processing, but taking into account EXI serialization. In particular, the encryptor will replace the XML element or XML fragment in question with an appropriately constructed EncryptedData element. The Decryptor will conversely replace the EncryptedData element with its cleartext XML element or XML fragment. Note that the XML document into which the EncryptedData element is embedded may be encoded using EXI and/or EXI may be used to encode the cleartext before encryption.
The following sections contain specifications for decrypting, replacing, and serializing XML content (i.e., Type 'element' or element 'content') using the [XPATH] data model. These sections are non-normative and optional to implementers of this specification, but they may be normatively referenced by and be required by other specifications that require a consistent processing for applications, such as [XMLENC-DECRYPT].
The Working Group may request transition to Candidate Recommendation with mandatory support for Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement marked as "at risk". If issues about deployment of this feature are raised during Candidate Recommendation, the group may elect to make this feature optional.
AES-GCM [SP800-38D] is an authenticated encryption mechanism. It is equivalent to doing these two operations in one step - HMAC signing followed by AES-CBC encryption.
where "|" is concatenation, "02" and "00" are fixed octets of the corresponding hexadecimal value, PS is a string of strong pseudo-random octets [RANDOM] at least eight octets long, containing no zero octets, and long enough that the value of the quantity being CRYPTed is one octet shorter than the RSA modulus, and "key" is the key being transported. The key is 192 bits for TRIPLEDES and 128, 192, or 256 bits for AES. Implementations must support this key transport algorithm for transporting 192-bit TRIPLEDES keys. Support of this algorithm for transporting other keys is optional. RSA-OAEP is recommended for the transport of AES keys.
When an encrypted envelope contains a signature, the signature does not necessarily protect the authenticity or integrity of the ciphertext [Davis].
See the [XMLENC-CORE1] Security Considerations section.

Q: Generating a list of days and passing it through Push.named I'm quite new to flutter and I'm currently working on this mini-project to help me better understand passing data through routes using push.named and the ModalRoute of method.
Project Description:

*

*I want to create a list of months and then a list of the days in that month when you tap on it. Ex: when I tap on January there must be a list of 31 days, February = 29 or 28 depending on whether it's a leap year or not.

*I have been able to generate the list of months but my problem is with the days.
Requirement: I used a class to generate the months of the year and I associated a number with each one like this:
List<Months> _monthoftheyear =[
    Months(month: "January",id: 1 ),
    Months(month: "February",id: 2),
    Months(month: "March",id: 3),
    Months(month: "April",id: 4),
    Months(month: "May",id: 5),
    Months(month: "June",id: 6),
    Months(month: "July",id: 7),
    Months(month: "August",id: 8),
    Months(month: "September",id: 9),
    Months(month: "October",id: 10),
    Months(month: "November",id: 11),
    Months(month: "December",id: 12),
];

What I want to do is use the id in a switch statement saying that for case 1,3,5 (months with 31 days) there should be a list of 31 days
switch (Months.id){
    case 1:
    case 3:
    case 5:
    return List.generate(31,(count) "Day $count")
}

but I'm trying to do this in my argument parameter in my Push.named and later extract it and generate it just like I did with the months it's not working.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction? My full code is below
MY CLASS
class Months {
    String month;
     int id;
      Months ({this.month, this.id});
}

     **FIRST PAGE**

class _HomeState extends State<Home> {
    List<Months> _monthoftheyear =[
        Months(month: "January",id: 1 ),
        Months(month: "February",id: 2),
        Months(month: "March",id: 3),
        Months(month: "April",id: 4),
        Months(month: "May",id: 5),
        Months(month: "June",id: 6),
        Months(month: "July",id: 7),
        Months(month: "August",id: 8),
        Months(month: "September",id: 9),
        Months(month: "October",id: 10),
        Months(month: "November",id: 11),
        Months(month: "December",id: 12),
    ];

    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return Scaffold(
      //Listview builder that returns the entirety of the months of the year in a list tile
      body: ListView.builder(
      itemCount: _monthoftheyear.length,
        itemBuilder: (context, index){
        return ListTile(
          title: Text(_monthoftheyear[index].month),
          onTap: (){

                 // the argument is that the id should be passed to the next page when the month is
            tapped on

               // THIS IS WHERE THE ISSUE IS. ALL I'M SEEING IS THE "ID" ITSELF AND NOT THE NUMBERS I WANT TO GENERATE. I'm NOT SURE OF WHAT TO DO SO PLEASE PARDON ME IF YOU GET OFFENDED IN ANYWAY

            Navigator.pushNamed(context, "/days",arguments: Months (id:_monthoftheyear[index].id));

       setState(() {
      switch (  _monthoftheyear[index].id){
      case 1:
      List.generate(31, (index) => index);
      print(_monthoftheyear[index].id);
      break;

       }
      });

          },
        );
        }
      ),

    );

THE DETAILS/EXTRACT ARGUMENT PAGE
class Days extends StatelessWidget {
    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        final Months _idinfo = ModalRoute.of(context).settings.arguments;

        return Scaffold(
            body:ListTile(
                title: Text(_idinfo.id.toString()),
            )
        );
    }
}

A: This code will generate DateTime values representing every day of a requested month.  No magic leap year calculations or anything!  You can run it in DartPad to check it out.
void main() {
  var year = 2024;
  var month = 2;
  var target = DateTime.utc(year, month);
  var monthBegin = DateTime.utc(target.year, target.month);
//   print(monthBegin);
  var nextMonthBegin = DateTime.utc(monthBegin.year, monthBegin.month + 1);
//   print(nextMonthBegin);
  for (var aDate = monthBegin;
      aDate.isBefore(nextMonthBegin);
      aDate = aDate.add(Duration(days: 1))) {
    print(aDate);
  }
}

I use UTC to avoid DST shifts.  Also, that "month + 1" works even for a month of 12... it just wraps back to next year first day of January.  Nice.

GOLD JEWELRY SALES RISE Gold jewelry sales totaled $6 billion in the first three quarters of 1995, up 5.9% from the same period of 1994, says the World Gold Council. At this pace, says the council, sales were poised to exceed the 1994 total sales volume of $11.3 billion. (The fourth quarter traditionally accounts for more than 40% of gold jewelry sales.) For the third quarter alone, gold jewelry sales rose 5.1% by value and 4.7% by units over the same period of 1994. It was the 16th consecutive quarter of sales increases, says the council. "Despite an overall sluggish retail environment, gold jewelry has been a strong performer," says Michael C. Barlerin, the council's chief executive officer. Who's selling: Sales were up in all retail channels in the first three quarters. Discount stores remained the fastest growing retail outlet, easily outpacing the category average with a 1

Carlos Dunlap Tried to Pull a George Costanza But Wasn't Devious Enough
By Brian Giuffra

If you ever wanted to learn how to get fired, George Costanza is a great character to emulate. The memorable sidekick from the hit sitcom Seinfeld, Costanza perfected the art of pissing employers off and getting canned, from pretending he was handicapped to having sex in his office with a member of the custodial staff.
However, when Costanza actually tried to get fired by the Yankees after he was offered a position with the Mets, he failed despite sullying Babe Ruth's jersey and destroying the Yankees World Series trophy. It appears Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap is trying to do the same thing with similar results.
Dunlap, who has voiced frustration with his role on the team and is the subject of trade rumors, posted a photo showcasing the Bengals' depth chart/defensive line rotation on social media this week along with the phrase "I don't have time for this."
On his Instagram, Bengals DE posted this which appears to have him listed as third-string DE on sub packages. Dunlap: "I don't have time for this." pic.twitter.com/aatmQW0GNU
— Ben Baby (@Ben_Baby) October 24, 2020
The release of confidential information like this coupled with a public airing of grievances would usually result in some further punishment. However, Dunlap didn't face any today as he was an active member of the Bengals 53-man roster. Shout out to Mike Garafolo for making me think of Costanza when he tweeted the news.
If #Bengals DE Carlos Dunlap was trying to pull a Costanza by posting the team's DL rotations yesterday, it didn't work. At least not today, anyway. He'll be active vs. the #Browns.
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) October 25, 2020
Despite his transgressions, the Bengals have little choice but to keep Dunlap active and playing if they hope to trade him. The former two-time Pro Bowler was demoted to third-string earlier this year, so if the Bengals want to get anything in return for him, teams will want to see recent game film to assess his trade value. If they don't find a partner, the Bengals will likely cut Dunlap, which would result in over $2 million in dead cap space.
It seems Dunlap is doing everything he can to force the Bengals' hand and gain new employment, but if he truly wants to get fired, he'll have to dig even deeper into George Costanza's bag of tricks.

The Gillett's most recent sports investment wasn't looking too great up until a little over a week ago, when Kasey Kahne started notching up victories.

Gillett's NASCAR investment paying off as Kahne takes second victory
May 26, 2008 — When George Gillett invests in something, it tends to become a winner.
It happened here, in Vail, when Gillett modernized the resort and added considerably to its international cache in the 1980s and 90s.
It happened in Montreal, when he bought the Habs and then, a year later, saw them end a playoff drought.
Up until May 16, however, Gillett's investment in Gillett Evernham Motorsports wasn't looking so good. His top driver in the NASCAR team, Kasey Kahne, hadn't marked a victory all year. Elliott Sadler hadn't finished in the top 10 since the Daytona 500, and Patrick Carpentier had yet to finish better than 28th.
Then Kahne notched a $1 million payday at the Sprint All-Star race May 17. Then Gillett and his family looked on as Tony Stewart, who was leading this past weekend's Coca-Cola 600 with three laps to go, blew a tire.
Kahne blew past Stewart for his second win in eight days, launching him to 12th in the 2008 standings and raising this season's earnings to $3,116,080.
Sadler is also doing well, having recently picked up two top 10s and raising his earnings to $1,693,120.
I'm not a huge NASCAR fan, but I keep an eye on what's going on with the Gillett's team. I have to say that, whether it's NASCAR or skiing or anything else, these kinds of results were only a matter of time for a Gillett family-owned enterprise.

The Hooten Hallers
Artist: Hooten Hallers
Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. The Hooten Hallers have been busting vans and playing blurry back room bars for a decade but on their self-titled album they come out swinging with new life and a healthy balance of freneticism and focus. Having toured for years as a garage-blues duo, the band has recently evolved to include baritone saxophone player Kellie Everett, who has had stints recording and gigging with the likes of Pokey Lafarge, J.D. Wilkes, The Legendary Shack Shakers and William Elliott Whitmore. Everett's background in jazz standards and music theory are spliced with the unhinged showmanship that have built the Hooten Hallers' rapidly growing national following to create an album that can be at times be wild, in your face, party music while still leaving space for a tender ballad with soul and classic country influence. This type of versatility has allowed The Hooten Hallers to expand their already varied audience. It's not uncommon to walk into one of their shows to see outlaw bikers dancing next to some college kids dancing next to an aging hippie or a couple of parents whose kids are at home with the babysitter. This album, recorded in a repurposed Masonic temple owned by Johnny Walker of the garage-blues band the Soledad Brothers, features contributions from Ryan Koenig (Pokey LaFarge, Jack Grelle) and was produced by Kristo Baricevic of Big Muddy Records.

Serpens ("the Serpent", Greek Ὄφις) is a constellation of the northern hemisphere. One of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, it remains one of the 88 modern constellations defined by the International Astronomical Union. It is unique among the modern constellations in being split into two non-contiguous parts, Serpens Caput (Serpent Head) to the west and Serpens Cauda (Serpent Tail) to the east. Between these two halves lies the constellation of Ophiuchus, the "Serpent-Bearer". In figurative representations, the body of the serpent is represented as passing behind Ophiuchus between Mu Serpentis in Serpens Caput and Nu Serpentis in Serpens Cauda.
The brightest star in Serpens is the red giant star Alpha Serpentis, or Unukalhai, in Serpens Caput, with an apparent magnitude of 2.63. Also located in Serpens Caput are the naked-eye globular cluster Messier 5 and the naked-eye variables R Serpentis and Tau4 Serpentis. Notable extragalactic objects include Seyfert's Sextet, one of the densest galaxy clusters known; Arp 220, the prototypical ultraluminous infrared galaxy; and Hoag's Object, the most famous of the very rare class of galaxies known as ring galaxies.
Part of the Milky Way's galactic plane passes through Serpens Cauda, which is therefore rich in galactic deep-sky objects, such as the Eagle Nebula (IC 4703) and its associated star cluster Messier 16. The nebula measures 70 light-years by 50 light-years and contains the Pillars of Creation, three dust clouds that became famous for the image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. Other striking objects include the Red Square Nebula, one of the few objects in astronomy to take on a square shape; and Westerhout 40, a massive nearby star-forming region consisting of a molecular cloud and an H II region.
Serpens held by Ophiuchus, as depicted in Urania's Mirror, a set of constellation cards published in London c. 1825. Above the tail of the serpent is the now-obsolete constellation Taurus Poniatovii while below it is Scutum
Hoag's Object, a galaxy in Serpens and a member of the very rare class known as ring galaxies.

Steam Cycles and History
|In Culture
|By Paul d'Orléans
While we think of History as immutable and as reliably solid as the configuration of hydrogen atoms, the 'truth' of our past is constantly shifting, as our individual or collective attitudes move from established belief sets to new paradigms, in which the interpretation of history, and indeed the very 'facts' of events, are seen in totally a new light, and our historic priorities are re-ordered. [For more on that, try Thomas Kuhn's 'The Structure of Scientific Revolutions]
Was the world's first motorcycle built in 1818? This lithograph claims so. Although it may be satirical, the apparatus is all in place. Read more here. [London Science Museum]
A paradigm shift in our view of motorcycle history is imminent, as alternatives to the internal combustion engine come to the forefront of technology, grow into general use, and are understood as the logical, even moral alternative to the vast political/economic/military structure hardened around the discovery, ownership, and distribution of fossil fuels. History may well view our current troubles in oil-producing lands the economic equivalent of the Crusades, with oil the motivating 'religion'; it is inconceivable to oil-hungry nations that unfriendly hands control the source… regime change and war are thus justified.
Sylvester H. Roper built his steam cycle in 1869 in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston: the machine is in the Smithsonian Museum [Smithsonian Air & Space Museum]
As electric and alternative energy vehicles -including motorcycles- come into general usage, the importance of their historic forbears is greatly magnified, and the first attempts at powered travel are seen in a new light. Thus it is with the Steam Cycle. Dismissed as a vestigial dead-end and thus irrelevant to the history of Motorcycling, the very first powered two-wheelers in history have not been give their proper place in the family tree. Indeed, my copy of the Oxford English Dictionary defines Motorcycle as having 'an internal combustion engine', which is simply ridiculous, given the great strides in electric motorcycling the past few years, and the TTXGP highlighting the viability of sporting battery power. Even Cycle World's esteemed technical writer Kevin Cameron has argued that only the internal combustion engine counts as the true root of modern motorcycling, as "History follows things that succeed, not things that fail" (a debatable claim on History – failure being relative, and often temporary), while LJK Setright preferred to use the term 'heat engines', which includes steam, but excludes electric motoring. Recent and online versions of the OED use 'two wheels and a motor, without pedals' – which excludes most motorcycles of the 1900s-10s, which HAD pedals!
Louis-Guillame Perraux's 1868 patent drawing laying out the concept of a steam velocipede. It's generally reckoned that he didn't actually build his steamer until 1871 [Archives INPI]
Using a more generous definition of Motorcycle: 'two wheels with a motor', the very first motorcycles (then called Steam Velocipedes) were built, it appears, in 1869 and 1871. Two steam-engine two-wheelers were built totally independently of one another: one in the USA by Sylvester H. Roper, the other in France by Louis-Guillame Perreaux. [3] The two machines were both built around contemporary-pattern 'bone shaker' chassis, although each machine appears to have used a purpose-built frame between the wheels to adapt the engine. The Perreaux used a Michaux bicycle chassis with the engine above the rear wheel, while the Roper used a forged iron frame, with the engine suspended beneath. These are the true forbears of every motorcycle, and each is a remarkable testament not only to the ingenuity of their inventors (these small, portable steam engines were among the very first of their kind), but as well, the impulse, as yet unnamed, to ride a motorcycle. They knew it was going to be good, and they were absolutely right. The thrill of fast downhill gliding on early velocipedes, sans motor, gave a novel thrill to riders then, as shown in this 1860s essay on the joys of bicycling, 'A Two-Wheeled Steed.'

While the 1871 Perreaux appears to be unique as a two-wheeler (he did, in 1884, build a 3-wheel version), Sylvester Roper went on to build another Steam Velocipede, developing and refining the concept, perfecting his portable steam engine, making changes to his chassis. His last design of 1895, was originally commissioned by the Pope Manufacturing Co., and used a modified 'Columbia' safety-bicycle frame, the old 'bone-shaker' bicycle design having been modernized with steel tubes and rubber tires – and wheels of equal size were far safer than the previous Ordinary bicycle. This last Roper Steam Velocipede survives, remarkably, in private hands.

The Perreaux appeared on the floor of the Guggenheim Museum for the seminal 'Art of the Motorcycle' exhibit, and was the first motorcycle confronting viewers as they entered. To the show's 300,000 visitors, this charming little vehicle was complete news. Kudos to the curators for bringing this machine to light, to New York, and to the public consciousness as the First Motorcycle. It's my understanding the Roper was also meant to occupy the entrance, but the Smithsonian wanted a very substantial cash bond ($1M) for the loan of what it rightly considers a priceless artifact of human history… thus the Perreaux stole the floor show, and now occupies a greater part of popular opinion as The First. Such is the whim of chance, altering History…again.

Now What?: Why can't I look on the lighter side of things?
I think I'm too literal.
My husband is good at joking and making light of things. I need to be more like that.
I think I've always been like that. It toughens me up which is helpful at times but at others, I come off harsh.
For example, it makes me a good person to turn to when your in your twenties and your friends are drunk out of their gourd and one falls ill and you need to go to the hospital and someone needs to be the representative that explain symptoms to the hospital staff.
It's bad when someone needs some empathetic response.
I think I have good empathy for the most part. I'm just not good at understanding how folks say they feel terrible and can't eat because they can't do anything for so and so. For me, yes you can feel for the person but why feel terrible? Does that help the situation? Does not sleeping or eating because of it make things better for said person? You can do something if you want to. You can pray.
Because I feel this way, when folks say to me, "I feel bad for so and so." I don't give the response that most folks want. If you are close to me and you say that, my automatic response is, "Do you think so and so wants you to feel bad for them?" They probably don't mean that literally but my response is literal. I need to hold my tongue. Why can't a be more empathetic in this situation?


Many physical issues arise from the emotional health of your spine. Since the spine literally supports your whole body, pain and imbalance in the spinal column often reflect feelings of lack of support and love. Medication merely masks symptoms it doesn't reach the true cause of the pain, buried emotions. We can clear away these unwanted, painful emotions by bringing them into the light of our consciousness and/or using the wonderful new energy therapies we now have at our finger tips. Use our free affirmations to identify and clear out those painful emotions!
"In a nutshell, the pain you're experiencing is your brain's response to unaddressed stress, anger or fear. When these kinds of emotions are suppressed, your brain redirects the emotional impulses to restrict blood flow to certain parts of your body, such as your back, neck or shoulder, thereby triggering pain.
The middle area of your back holds the balance in the centre of the body; therefore it is connected to decision-making. Resentment can also be found in the middle back. Pain in the mid-back is associated to deficiency in the stomach liver, gallbladder, adrenal glands, and reproductive organs. The saying "I bent over backwards to help" relates to the middle back.
With every breath I take, I am sending, love and gratitude to every single cell in my body!
Every part of me is getting the optimum benefit from this exercise!
With every breath I take, I am sending love, gratitude and healing to my middle back!
I release any guilt, I have stored in my back!

I release any doubt, I have stored in my back!
I release any confusion, I have stored in my back!
I release any indecision, I have stored in my back!
I clear any family issues, I have stored in my back!
I release any energy or emotion that doesn't belong to me!
I clear all the ways I want to "back out" of this!
I release any and all relationship issues I have stored in my back!

"…. no more pain! My mid back has been bothering me for three days. I put on the mid back meditation and when it was over…. no more pain! Seriously! Thank you so much!" Ms C.C.
"My back pain is gone. After suffering from upper back pain for the last 4 weeks I purchased the Full Back set of recordings. After listening to the Upper Back recording my back pain is gone, would recommend this set to anyone suffering from back problems. Thanks to Barbara and all her hard work in putting these recordings together, I would say well worth the effort". Kathy Russell.
"I felt about 60-70 percent better!! My goodness! I must say I have experienced great improvement already from your wonderful recordings! Your voice is so soothing, as is the music, and each time, I definitely reach what I call "zero point"== a VERY relaxed and deeply rejuvenating place! And I am happy to report that every time I get up afterward, there is definite improvement in the pain and stiffness in my back!! I must say that I was at quite a low point last night, after two weeks of attempting to help myself feel better, seeing energy healers here in Hout Bay, South Africa, and resting and praying, and doing my own brand of energy work (MAP, Reiki, visualizations), and STILL in pain — actually it had gotten much worse again. It was SUCH a gift to get the recordings and be able to listen to them last night (and twice today)! Sometimes you just need a little help from a friend, you know?
I slept so well, and this morning, I felt about 60-70 percent better!! I am also impressed with your deep insight into what can be held in our back– so many of the statements resonated so strongly with me! I could feel my root chakra opening and the energy moving powerfully as I released those many, many emotions and beliefs– and I will continue to do so.
Well, thank you again for all you BE and all you share! Please feel free to use any or all of the above in a testimonial in any way you choose!
"I can move without pain. Today suddenly I had back pain and I found you. Thank you again and again, my back is a bit better and I can move without pain". Warmest regards, Nalini.

Integrating Wikipedia into social networking websites like twitter, facebook and orkut etc.
Integration with social networking systems like twitter, facebook and orkut.
Editing and modifying content by orkut or facebook users using their orkut or facebook accounts.
A widget interface for wikipedia that intergrates with orkuts appication interface.
Page creation and content editing directly in twitter, orkut and facebook.
Creating a dataware house with user statistics and search heuristics with the help of facebook and orkut.
I had this idea as I signed up for wikipedia as a user to add pages and fight vandalism. I always wondered if the data here could be shared more effectively by interfacing with existing social networking groups like facebook orkut and twitter.
Allow users to integrate their wikipedia editing seamlessly into their other social media activities, advertising their contributions (and wikipedia editting) to their friends.
None that cannot be answered.
Zero. Its purely going to be based on the opensocial API system.

Respect Woman ,Shower some love, Let her feel Special…..not ignored!!
Like God, who is popularly referred to as a male, the word 'Ruler' too usually brings forth a masculine image in front of our eyes. This may be because of the male-dominated society in which we live.
Why do people still feel odd doing the household work & why is it presumed that washing & cooking extra are essentially a feminine activity? Why is it granted to every woman as a Traditional boon as if they were born for this only? Why do we still feel that laundry, is a woman's job?
Are we unfairly keeping half of our population away from their basic rights & shackles them up in this prejudice, just because of some biases that we carry?
We firmly believe that training is a must; so girls are trained to become future housewives (even the so-called career-minded women in our society will admit that they would want their daughters to first become good housewives and then good professionals).
While training the family always responses in them a lot of confidence, telling them that they are indeed capable of acquiring the necessary skills like washing & cooking.
I totally believed that we are compelled to pass on these faulty learnings on to the younger generation. From my childhood, I always saw my grandmother, my mom doing household work from cooking to washing as a compulsion.
Ahhhh…that's not the beginning & that's not the end. My life & I think every women life revolves around this issue 24*7. We've become blindfolded & it's become our mindset up that these works are women-oriented. Thanks to technology like washing machines made our life easier & puts it on a better note.
A housewife works to tend and maintain her family's home environment and care for and teach her children and provide support (food, clothing, home etc.) for her husband. She provides a supporting role for her family which complements the support role of her husband (providing income).
I firmly believe that it is very important to end this prejudice by giving housewives the right values at home itself.
Housewives are ever-willing to sacrifice for the family. they would do washing & cooking with a contented smile. They will certainly make formidable managers if they are given a chance to improve these inherent qualities in them. Where else could one find managerial talent in such abundance?
The best part of the story is that this 'institution' called the 'housewife' keeps on producing more of its kind without anyone egging them on. It is a natural source of managerial talent.
This prejudice can be overcome by decreasing some workload of housewives & members of family should share domestic responsibilities by making habit of doing personal work by themselves like eating, drinking my own, help in washing clothes by putting them in sun for drying and dividing many household tasks like this & give her time for relaxing & refreshing. Respect Woman, Shower some love …..Let her feel special ……not ignored!!!

Update: Hillary Backpedals in Pakistan
By Michael Crowley
So much for getting tough. No sooner had I finished praising her tough talk in Pakistan than she began walking it back.
Clinton carefully scaled back her comments from a day earlier suggesting that some Pakistani officials knew where al-Qaida's upper echelon has been hiding and have done little to target them.
When the U.S. gathers evidence that al-Qaida fugitives are hiding in Pakistan, Clinton said Friday during a Pakistani media interview, ''We feel like we have to go to the government of Pakistan and say, somewhere these people have to be hidden out.''
''We don't know where, and I have no information that they know where, but this is a big government. You know, it's a government on many levels. Somebody, somewhere in Pakistan must know where these people are. And we'd like to know because we view them as really at the core of the terrorist threat that threatens Pakistan, threatens Afghanistan, threatens us, threatens people all over the world,'' Clinton said.
And during an interview Friday on ABC's ''Good Morning America,'' Clinton demurred when asked if she thought Pakistan was harboring terrorists, saying: ''I don't think they are. ... But I think it would be a missed opportunity and a lack of recognition of the full extent of the threat, if they did not realize that any safe haven anywhere for terrorists threatens them, threatens us, and has to be addressed.''
A day earlier she was more explicit in her skepticism, telling a Pakistani journalist in Lahore: ''I find it hard to believe that nobody in your government knows where they are and couldn't get them if they really wanted to. Maybe that's the case. Maybe they're not gettable. I don't know.'
Hillary is beginning to compile a non-trivial list of off-message comments that cause trouble. On a trip to China she dismissed human rights as a factor in US-China relations--apparently not a scripted statement. She got ahead of the Obama White House on talk of a complete Israeli settlement freeze. And this summer she compared the North Koreans to "unruly teenagers" at a time when the administration was arranging a visit to Pyongyang by her husband to free American journalists held there. For a woman so famous for her message discipline, it's more than a little surprising.
I guess the question here is whether she got carried away in the moment yesterday, or whether a calculated effort to be firm played worse than expected and had to be dialed back.
Update: I now see that, while wrapping up a cover story yesterday, I missed that Jason made some pretty similar points well before I did. (Zengerle! He's always one step ahead....)

Just 'cause you're not up here doesn't mean you failed. To our winners, congrats! You have a week to notify me who gets your prize.


In 2011, Congress and then President Barack Obama enacted legislation revolutionizing the patent system in the United States. This legislation, known as the America Invents Act (AIA) transitioned the U.S. from a first to invent patent system to a first to file patent system. Along with such changes, the AIA modified ways to challenge the validity of issued patents outside of litigation by filing post-grant proceedings at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). Challenges before the PTAB include post grant review (PGR), inter partes review (IPR) and covered business method review (CBM; available only to patents directed to covered business methods).
PGR allows for a patent to be challenged on any ground of invalidity that could otherwise be asserted as a defense in patent litigation. For example, PGR allows a patent to be challenged under ⸹101 patentable subject matter, ⸹102 novelty, ⸹103 obviousness, and ⸹112 indefiniteness. While PGR allows for a broad scope of challengeable subject matter, such a challenge must be brought within nine months after a patent has been issued. PGR can be filed by a person who is not the patent owner and who has not previously filed a civil action challenging the validity of a claim of the patent. The challenger must provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that it is more likely than not that at least one claim is unpatentable. The basis of the challenge is not limited to patents and printed publications, but can allow for any form of prior art. A final decision made in a PGR is appealable to the Federal Circuit.
IPR proceedings are utilized to review the patentability of one or more claims in a patent based on ⸹102 and ⸹103 challenges, including novelty and obviousness. IPR is more limited in that only patents or printed publications may be utilized to demonstrate that at least one claim is unpatentable. IPR may not be filed until the later of nine months after a patent has been issued or after a PGR proceeding has terminated. IPR can be initiated by a person who is not the patent owner and has not previously filed a civil action challenging the validity of a claim of the patent. The PTAB may grant an IPR petition when there is a reasonable likelihood that the petitioner will prevail as to at least one challenged claim. A final decision made in an IPR is appealable to the Federal Circuit.
As of February 28th, 2019 the PTAB reported that 9,858 petitions for a post grant proceeding have been filed, with the 10,000th expected to be filed at some point in March or April of this year. Overwhelmingly, the majority of these post grant petitions have been for IPR, with 92% filed for IPR, 2% for PGR, and 6% for CBM.
Currently, approximately 60% of all petitions for post grant proceedings are initiated. Petitions may not be initiated if a challenger fails to meet the adequate burden of proof, if a petition is not timely, or if some sort of settlement occurs. When first enacted in 2013, 87% of all petitions for post grant proceedings were enacted. Now, that number hovers around 60% and is projected to reach 65% this year. Most likely this decrease is accounted for by the passage of time as judges and challengers create precedents and begin to apply this new area of law.
Specifically, institution rate by technology type differs among different industries. Electrical and mechanical technologies have the highest institution rate with 68% of post grant challenges filed in these fields initiated. Bio/pharma and chemical technologies have slightly lower rates, with 59% of those post grant challenges initiated in bio/pharma industry, and 63% initiated in chemical industry. These differences are most likely accounted for by the fact that a larger number of post grant challenges have been filed in the electrical and mechanical fields as opposed to bio/pharma and chemistry. Further, last year 12% of post grant petitions were settled prior to initiation, with that number expected to increase and reach 20% this year. In addition, last year 24% of post grant petitions were settled after initiation, with that number projected to reach 29% this year.
Initially pre-institution settlements occurred very infrequently, with only 9% of pre-instituted petitions settling. However those numbers have been trending upwards, with 20% expected to settle this year.
As the number of pre-instituted settlements rises, the number of post-instituted settlements have gradually decreased. When first enacted, post-institution settlements were occurring in 90% of initiated petitions, while this year that number is expected to only be at 29%.
As we approach the eve of the 10,000th petition soon to be filed, there are several key takeaways for patent holders looking to avoid potentially losing claims in their patent subjected to post grant challenges. First, knocking out potential challengers so that petitions are not initiated can be one such strategy. At a time when 40% of petitions for post grant challenges are not granted, being part of that 40% can be crucial. Working with patent counsel to demonstrate that a challenger has not established the required standard of proof necessary to initiate, can be one such way to do this. Also, working with patent counsel to create a settlement agreement can be another way to knock out challengers. Patent holders should also work with patent counsel to ensure that any drafted patents have a good probability of surviving post grant challenges. For example, having a well described specification that describes different embodiments of the invention can be paramount. Additionally, making sure that all terms in a patent are well defined while avoiding any vague terms can be of utmost importance.
Further, working with patent counsel to have an effective prosecution strategy can also help minimize risk of future challenges. For example, claims subject to a restriction requirement during prosecution will be much more likely to survive a post grant proceeding. In addition, retaining evidence during prosecution may be useful in subsequent post grant challenges. As post grant proceedings become commonplace in patent practice, working with patent council to build robust monetizable patents that minimize risk of future invalidation is key in ensuring success for many years to come.
