A patent is an intellectual residence proper that provides the holder, not an working appropriate, but a appropriate to prohibit the use how to patent a product by a third celebration of the patented invention, from a particular date and for a limited duration (usually twenty many years).
Some countries may possibly at the time of registration concern a "provisional patent" and may possibly grant a "grace time period" of 1 12 months which avoids the invalidity of the patent to an inventor who disclosed his invention ahead of filing a patent in a non-confidential basis with the advantage of enabling fast dissemination of technical data although reserving the industrial exploitation of the invention. Depending on the country, the first "inventor" or the first "filer" has priority to the patent.
The patent is legitimate only in a given territory. As a result, the patent stays nationwide. It is achievable to file a patent application for a particular nation (INPI for France, the USPTO for the U.S., JPO for Japan), or a group of nations (with the EPO for 38 European nations, filing a PCT application for the 142 signatories of the Treaty). Thus, a patent application could cover numerous nations.
In return, the invention should be disclosed to the public. In practice, patents are automatically published 18 months following the priority date, that is to say, right after the 1st filing, except in particular situations.
To be patentable, aside from the fact that it need to be an "invention", an invention need to also meet 3 important criteria.
1. It must be new, that is to say that nothing at all similar has ever been available to the public understanding, by any means whatsoever (written, oral, use. ), and anywhere. It also should not match the content of a patent that was filed but not but published.
2. It must have inventive stage, that is to say, it can not be apparent from the prior art.
3. It should have industrial application, that is to say, it can be used or produced in any variety of industry, such as agriculture (excluding functions of how to market a product art or crafts, for example).
When a company believes that its competitors are unlikely to discover one particular of its secrets and techniques throughout the time period of coverage of any patent, or that the business would not be able to detect infringement or enforce its rights, it can select not to file, which carries a chance and a advantage.
The threat: If a competitor finds the very same approach and obtains a patent on it, the organization might be prohibited to use his personal invention ( the French law and American law differ on this level, a single contemplating the evidence at the date of discovery, and the other at the date of publication). French law also consists of a so-called exception of "prior private possession" for a man or woman who can show that the alleged invention was indeed infringed presently in its possession prior to the filing date of the patent application. In this kind of case, operation would only be ready to carry on for that person on the French territory.
The advantage: If there is no patent, the method is not published and as a result the company can assume to proceed operation in concept indefinitely (However in practice, somebody will probably find the concept one day, but the duration of protection could finish up longer in complete). This technique of trade secret and consequently non- patenting is utilised in some cases by patent an invention the chemical industry.

The 80s were a special time. More innocent. We believed in Reaganomics. And we believed that you should dance like no one was watching, especially if you were a character in a movie where everyone was watching you.
Anybody who was a kid in the 80s is going to enjoy an embarrassing stroll down memory lane over the next four minutes of 80s movie magic.

It hurt when I walked. Even sometimes when I was standing, I could feel the pain in my back. I'm completely healed now, totally transformed, no pain. Now I can bend. I've got my miracle. —Crystal from Wolverhampton
When we were praying, Richard said, "Someone has been healed of a backache." I claimed it and believed that I'm healed and made whole. There's something different all around me. I can't really explain what it is. I think it's the presence of the Most High God. Yes, I got my miracle, and I'm not […]
I came in tonight with burning sensations on my shoulders. It had been going on for over a week. But right after prayer, I checked my shoulders and I couldn't feel any pains at all. The sensation has ceased completely. I got my miracle. —Diane from London
After brother Roberts prayed, I felt something going through my bones, then my back. I sat down without any pain and I felt bones moving around. The numbness in the legs is gone, and my lower back isn't hurting like it was. I got my miracle! —Terry from Wolverhampton

Basketball training workouts usually focus on speed and quickness, which makes sense since basketball is a game primarily of speed. But there is an endurance aspect to the game as well, and the 8-8-18 Conditioning Drill effectively develops endurance along with sport-specific quickness.
Basketball requires a very high level of physical fitness in many ways if players want to play to their potential. It's bad enough to lose to a team because they can shoot better, or rebound better, or pass better. But it's inexcusable to lose because we aren't in shape. Everyone can improve their fitness level, and this is something players should be doing on their own in the off-season (they can check out more complete, stand-alone training programs like the Speed, Agility and Quickness Program, a solid basketball training program for players interested in developing their speed and quickness pre-season and in-season).
I use the 8-8-18 Conditioning Drill at the beginning of pre-season practices to see who is in shape and to get players in better shape. More than just one simple training drill, this workout incorporates Horses along with two other stages, and all three parts of the workout are timed, so while endurance may be the major focus, the time element ensures that athletes are also pushing hard for speed.
The workout is divided into three stages:
Stage 1: Horses
8 Horses in 8 minutes
Rest: 3 minutes
Stage 2: Fartleks 8 Fartleks in 6 minutes
Rest: 3 minutes
Stage 3: Laps 18 Laps of the gym in 6 minutes
Horses are like two suicides run back to back
One Horse
That is one horse.
Players have 8 minutes to complete 8 horses - that's 1 horse per minute. Be sure they pace themselves appropriately
Players have 6 minutes to complete 8 fartleks - that's about 45 seconds for each fartlek. Be sure they pace themselves appropriately
Players have 6 minutes to complete 18 laps - that's 3 laps a minute, or 20 seconds per lap. Be sure they pace themselves appropriately
The entire workout will take close to half an hour to complete, and it will be exhausting for your players. I use it at the beginning of the season, often having a practice solely for this drill or in combination with basic skills drills - it's also a great early morning drill to get that conditioning in at the beginning of the day.
And don't be afraid to throw it in during the season either if you think conditioning may be lagging (maybe if you have had an extended period without practice, e.g., after winter exams) It's a great basketball training workout and an excellent way to get players in shape.
"It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it."
- John Wooden
I recommend The Jump Manual - an excellent workout that works!

Quick enough to do in a coffee break.
If your eyelashes need a pick-me-up – beyond an extra coat of mascara or heated eyelash curler – and you only have a lunch break in which to do it, look no further. Here are three ways to thicker lashes:
1. Lash extensions
Book an appointment for high-quality silk lash extensions. "For a natural look, lashes should only be one to two millimetres longer than the client's lashes with just lightweight thickness," says Debra Sloane, managing director of Love Those Lashes.
2. Prescription lash growth
Lumigan is an accidental discovery – it was originally used to treat glaucoma but doctors noticed remarkable lash growth as a side effect. While some doctors may be willing to prescribe it, we would still caution against use as it has been known to change iris colour. Probably best to hold off until clinical approval in Australia but good to know anyway.
3. Lash conditioners
The safer alternative to a prescription formula, lash conditioners can be bought over the counter. Try Talika Lipocils Expert Lash Enhancer, $59, which contains natural actives for extra lash strength. Twice daily applications over four weeks will do the trick.

Software-Defined Networking (SDN): Layers and Architecture Terminology
This RFC 7426 was published in
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) refers to a new approach for network programmability, that is, the capacity to initialize, control, change, and manage network behavior dynamically via open interfaces.
SDN emphasizes the role of software in running networks through the introduction of an abstraction for the data forwarding plane and, by doing so, separates it from the control plane.
This separation allows faster innovation cycles at both planes as experience has already shown.
However, there is increasing confusion as to what exactly SDN is, what the layer structure is in an SDN architecture, and how layers interface with each other.
This document, a product of the IRTF Software-Defined Networking Research Group (SDNRG), addresses these questions and provides a concise reference for the SDN research community based on relevant peer- reviewed literature, the RFC series, and relevant documents by other standards organizations.
RFC 7426 introduction
"Software-Defined Networking (SDN)" is a term of the programmable networks paradigm [PNSurvey99] [OF08].
In short, SDN refers to the ability of software applications to program individual network devices dynamically and therefore control the behavior of the network as a whole [NV09].
Boucadair and Jacquenet [RFC7149] point out that SDN is a set of techniques used to facilitate the design, delivery, and operation of network services in a deterministic, dynamic, and scalable manner.

CAN-2004-0109 kernel iso9660 buffer overflow
Last modified: 2013-03-06 00:56:42 EST
In Feburary, iDefense notified us of a flaw in the iso9660 filesystem

The Linux kernel performs no length checking on symbolic links stored

arbitrary length overflow in kernel memory.
In order to exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must be able to
mount a maliciously constructed filesystem (for example by being at
the machine in order to insert a cdrom)

Structural Repair in Florida
Do you have rotten beams, foundation cracks, water leaks and other foundation issues in your Florida home? These issues often lead to structural defects. One of the most common structural problem is wall rotation caused by expansive soils in the Florida area. Because of Florida's geological history, the surface soils that support structures consist of clay and loose sands. Areas of the home may settle and crack due to washed out footings. Over time, excess moisture can promote mold growth on wood, drywall and other surfaces. Regardless of what is causing your structural issues, they must be addressed before the problem gets worse. Let Foundation Pros of FL come to your rescue. We use the latest underpinning methods to stabilize, straighten and support walls.
Since most structural damage can go undetected for years, the best indicator is the roof. Check to see if the ridge is straight. If it sags, the load bearing walls may have shifted. Are the shingles missing? Are there loose nails? These issues may lead to water seepage, causing structural separation. Also, inspect the walls to see if they are vertical and straight.
Structural issues in the home may include:
- Sagging ceilings
- Sloping floors
- Walls bowing inward or outward
- Crack window panes
- Chimney separating from wall
- Wet insulation
- Loose knee braces
- Hard to open and close doors and windows
- Damaged electrical circuits or gas lines
Check to see if the structure meets with its foundation. If you notice any of these issues, contact our professionals right away. Structural repairs are not a DIY project because they require certain permits, warranties and expertise.
Structural Engineers in Florida
Our team of experienced structural engineers can inspect your foundation and recommend the best repair method for your structure. They are certified and licensed professionals that provide the following services:
- A complete, thorough inspection of the exterior and interior of your home to look for foundation issues
- Foundation elevation survey with measurements
- A drawing of the home floor plan with site information
- Written report with a recommended repair agenda
- Crawl space inspection
To repair your foundation, we offer the following underpinning methods: steel piers, helical piers, wall anchors, helical tieback anchors, helical seawall anchors, crawl space repair, and commercial stabilization.
If your home needs repairs, we use underpinning methods to strengthen and stabilize foundations which have been weakened by a variety of factors. A few reasons you should consider underpinning include:
- Strengthens weak foundations caused by decaying wooden piles under the foundation
- Allow homes and buildings to withstand pressure to prevent foundation movement
- Strengthen structures caused by changes in the soil properties
- Usage of the structure has changed
If you need structural repair in Florida, contact Foundation Professionals of Florida. We have the latest underpinning solutions to stabilize your foundation for many years to come.

Nano-X, Propeller & BreatheWell among winners at start-up pitch event Tech23
Over 400 delegates gathered to hear 23 innovators pitch their young business ventures to investors, advisors and research and development institutes at the seventh annual Tech23 event in Sydney last Tuesday.
Sydney-based medtech startup Nano-X picked up several prizes including the Tech 23 Innovation Excellence Award and the $15,000 CSIRO Breakthrough Innovation Award for its affordable radiotherapy machines that shifted system complexity from hardware to software.
The innovation aimed to address poor access to life-saving radiation therapy worldwide, including for rural Australian cancer patients who were less likely to survive than their city-dwelling counterparts, Nano-X managing director Dr Ilana Feain told delegates.
She said Nano-X was a paradigm shift that would deliver world-class cancer treatment at a fraction of the cost and with more accuracy than existing equipment.
Current state-of-the-art radiation therapy systems were designed to rotate 3,000 kilograms of equipment around a patient lying on table, making the complex engineering design accurate for advanced radiation therapy but incredibly expensive, she said.
"Why would you rotate 3,000 kilograms around a patient when you can achieve the same outcome by just rotating the patients? Nano-X simplifies radiation therapy by moving the complexity of the system from hardware to software. We do this by removing most of the moving parts and automating most of the rest," Dr Feain said.
She said they were seeking funding to move from research to the development phase and that the final product was expected to reach market in five to six years.
Other winners
The developers of the two other medical technologies showcased – BreatheWell and Pathobin – were also successful in winning awards to support the development of their products and organisations.
Breathe Well is a monitoring device using optical and infrared sensors that analysed breathing function and provided guidance instructions to patients undergoing movement-sensitive medical procedures, such as lung, breast and liver cancer radiations therapies.
Patients undergoing radiation therapies needed to keep still for 30 minutes during each procedure for 30 subsequent procedures, said Daniel Zafir, managing director of Breathe Well developers Respiratory Innovations.
"That is fine if you have a bone cancer in your leg and you need to keep still, but if you are a lung cancer patient or a breast cancer patient the only way you can keep still is if you hold your breath," Mr Zafir said.
Very ill patients could often only hold their breath for 10 to 15 seconds and had to be guided back into the correct position after each breath, which was commonly done verbally by clinicians residing in another room, he said.
Following two years of initial trials in 10 hospitals, Mr Zafir said a prototype of the device that automated the monitoring and guidance procedure was almost ready and they were now seeking investment and clinical partners to undertake clinical trials.
Pathobin was a tool designed by and for pathologists to digitise surgical specimens and microscope slides via a low-cost high-quality capture process that enabled advanced diagnosis and image analysis.
Supporting 'game-changing companies'
Tech23 founder Rachel Slattery said the event helped to increase the informal networks of these young companies by bringing together a high-calibre audience who could help them build their business for global impact through connections, advice and prizes.
"The sponsors, industry leaders, prize givers, Tech23 alumni and the audience are all so supportive of these young game-changing companies and go out of their way to connect with them and help them kick their companies out of our backyard," Ms Slattery said.

The winners of the Tech23 Innovation Excellence Award Nano-X and companies Breathewell and Propeller (also award-winning companies) are clients of ATP Innovations, Australia's leading business incubator.

The construction system of
prefabricated wooden RIKO houses offers you a series of advantages: construction is speedy and ecologically
impeccable, it can be executed in any season of the year, it enables exact time planning, and moving in is possible immediately upon
completion of the final works. As a
consequence, it will save you time, money and – not last – grey hair!
Throughout the year, large wooden panel elements are manufactured in production
facilities. Closed and dry rooms ensure constant and monitored climate conditions, regardless
of the season.
The RIKO construction system
does not require a drying phase – a substantial gain in time. Construction
works take four months in total and can also be executed
during winter.
Of course, the erection of a RIKO building is subject to a legally
valid building permit, a subsequent contract signature by both
parties, well-structured financing and the construction of an access
driveway to the building site. Once these requirements are fulfilled, you can
leave all other concerns to the experienced RIKO installers: we
will arrange the building site, manage the construction works and provide
We deliver each RIKO building
finished up to the agreed construction or completion phase: A completed building shell comprises the entire shell construction and includes doors and windows,
but without installations, floor finish and sanitary equipment. Partial turnkey includes
completed floors and rough finishing works, while full turnkey means
that your new home has been finished to the extent that you can move in
immediately upon delivery of the key.

Towel Radiator 945mm x 675mm Reviews
My wife and I are in the process of renovating our house and so far this has been my single favourite purchase. Easy to fit, look great and heats the room and towels really well. We also changed our plan after purchasing this and decided to fit a modern bathroom so we were worried this wouldn't fit in but still looks great.
Peter O'Connor
Having revamped the bathroom fully I wanted a radiator that could kick out some heat and act as a heated towel rail too. Saw this item at Plumbworld and it looked just what I wanted. Now all up and running and it is a lovely heater. It is good quality and I am very happy with it. Purchased the valves too, all looks great.
This is a really smart looking radiator and very effective. We are able to get 4 towels on it. Great in a traditional style bathroom or modern. Would really recommend it. The plumber is thinking of buying one for his bathroom, so thats always a good recommendation!
Mr Jeffrey Young
This towel rail looks great and is made to a high standard. The price is very competitive and it was easy to install and can be used on low and sealed pressurised systems. All in all a great product.
This radiator looks good and is easy to install. Gives off plenty of heat and the central section stays warm when ordinary radiators are cold. Good buy.
Stunning in looks, great quality and easy to install. Nice and warm, very effective in our 2.5 x 2.4m bathroom. Definitely recommended.
Terry Clothier
Only used once so far but we are very impressed with the heating capacity of this stylish radiator & towel rail.
John simpson

Türkiye's geo-political position makes it a natural communications bridge between Asia and Europe and a gateway for international sales and investments in the Telecommunications and IT sector in the Caspian region, Central Asia and CIS. Across the region, the telecommunications industry continues to experience a process of demonopolization and privatization. Telecommunication coverage is expanding and networks are being upgraded and digitalized. Satellite and mobile operations are also being developed whilst Internet and ISP use is growing as Türkiye's telecom sector prepares for EU accession.

Türk Telekom is the heart of communication
Türk Telekom International & Wholesale Senior Vice President Mehmet Toros informed the delegates about Türk Telekom company profile and visions: "Türk Telekom Group, the leading communication and convergence technology group in Turkey, provides integrated telecommunication services from PSTN and GSM to broadband Internet. As of March 31, 2011; Türk Telekom group companies have 15.8 million Fixed Access Lines, 6.7 million ADSL Connections and 11.8 million Mobile Subscribers. Group companies have a modern network infrastructure covering the whole country and offer a wide variety of services to residential and commercial customers all over Turkey. Apart from 81,4 % shares in Avea, one of the three GSM operators in Turkey, Türk Telekom owns 100% of wholesale data and capacity service provider company Pantel International AG and its subsidiaries, 99.9% of broadband provider TTNET, convergence technologies company Argela, IT solutions provider Innova, online education company Sebit A.Ş., online gaming company Sobee and call center company AssisTT.

The remaining 15% is publicly traded. Türk Telekom shares are listed in İstanbul Stock Exchange since May 2008.
Being the leader of the market with its capability to perceive customer expectations, its knowledge, and its entrepreneurial and competitive identity, Türk Telekom had witnessed one of the most important developments in its history when Oger Telecom had purchased 55% of Türk Telekom shares after its privatization in 2005. The broadcasting corporation called "Acquisition Monthly" on which the international investors keeping close tabs had awarded the privatization regarding the block sale of Turk Telekom as the "transaction of the year in developing markets" with respect to mergers and acquisitions. This union has also brought the company international standards in service mentality.

Connecting the World of the Golf
Mohammed Elagazy SVP International Relations, Business Development and Strategy informed us about GBI. He also talked about their vision, mission and benefits: "GBI's vision is to facilitate economic and social growth across the Gulf region. GBI's mission is to be the carrier's carrier of choice for wholesale telecommunications traffic around the Gulf and beyond. GBI will achieve this mission by investing in and operating a state-of-the-art fiber network offering carriers greater bandwidth, choice, resilience and value. Maintaining a market position as the carrier's carrier, GBI will seek to serve all carriers equally. GBI's cable system will play an integral part in raising the quality of the communications infrastructure around Gulf region and thereby facilitate social and economic growth.
GBI's network is one half of a very powerful partnership. We provide connectivity and when this is linked to IT, it changes the way people, enterprises and societies operate. This combination has been one of the main driving forces of globalization and enables companies to create a collaborative environment. GBI's infrastructure will play a key role in driving this change. Improved connectivity will increase the region's attractiveness to foreign investors. Governments around the world have realized the importance of high speed connectivity in attracting foreign investment and are taking steps to address this. The GBI network will position the region favorably when it comes to competing for inward investment.
It is not only business that will reap the benefits from the powerful partnership between IT and high speed connectivity. Consumers are also changing their habits, utilizing on-line information to be better informed, source products and services.
The GBI cable system will ensure that the Gulf has the right connectivity to be heard and is an active participant in global conversations.
GBI's Network will provide operators with several benefits. The most immediate benefit GBI will deliver is increased bandwidth which will address the significant forecasted increase in telecommunications traffic generated in and around the Gulf.GBI's investment will ensure that there is enough capacity for businesses and consumers alike as they increase their dependency on real time communications. Aligned with this increase in capacity will be our ability to offer greater levels of resilience to telecom operators. The core ring of the GBI network is designed to be self-healing, which means that traffic can be re-routed automatically to minimize any network outages. The GBI network will give telecom operators more choice of who to route their network traffic over. Choice creates more competition, which results in greater value. This will benefit not only the telecom operators, but also end customers. By investing in the latest technology and people, GBI will be able to offer superior service levels that have never been seen in the region before."

If you have a loved one who is a drug addict or alcoholic, you have probably asked yourself this question many times, and many more questions like it. Does your loved one have control over their actions? Should you excuse their substance use because they are suffering from a disease? What is the best way to help someone who is an addict?
These are the tough questions, the ones millions of family members across the country are wondering. The answers to these questions can help guide you through this messy and unfortunate situation you have found yourself in. The answers to these questions can help you do what is best for yourself and for your addicted loved one.
The bottom line is that addiction is a sickness that should be treated, and you need to find a rehab program that is right for your family member and can provide them with the skills and resources necessary to rebuild their life without their substance. California Highlands Addiction Rehab is here to help. We welcome your questions, and we will do our best to make your loved one's transition to rehab a seamless one. Contact us at (888) 969-8755 to learn more about addiction rehab.
Read more to learn about the disease of addiction and the treatment for it.
According to the American Medical Association and the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), addiction is a disease. ASAM explains that addiction is a "primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry. It is characterized by inability to consistently abstain, impairment in behavioral control, craving, diminished recognition of significant problems with one's behaviors and interpersonal relationships, and a dysfunctional emotional response. Like other chronic diseases, addiction often involves cycles of relapse and remission."
When we look at addiction as a disease, many things become clear to us. For example, just like many other diseases, addiction is the result of environmental and biological factors, as well as behavior factors. It causes a change in the functioning of the person's brain and their body. Like other diseases of the body (cancer, heart disease, diabetes), addiction is a progressive disease that can lead to serious health issues and even death. Addiction can be treated, and must be treated in order for the person to go on to lead a healthy, normal life.
The disease model helps explain an addict's actions, and it helps those of us who are in contact with addicts understand how best to interact with them. Addiction changes the person's brain. Most substances that are abused by addicts change the reward center in the brain. By releasing high levels of dopamine, drugs and alcohol suppress the body's ability to produce the chemicals on its own, leading them to depend on the substance for their feelings of pleasure and happiness. Over time, the person cannot function or be satisfied on their own, and must rely on drugs or alcohol for simple pleasure. This is why willpower is not enough for your loved one to stop using. The substance has taken control of their actions and their life.
Even though addiction is a disease, and some people are more prone to suffering with it than others, this does not mean that your loved one had no role in it or that you should excuse their actions. You definitely should not allow a person to continue in their addiction.
A mistake many people make is to enable their loved one, make excuses for them, pick up the slack for them, carry out their responsibilities, and turn a blind eye to their actions. This only helps the person remain in their addiction. Family members should set boundaries and stick to them when dealing with an addict. Don't call in sick to work for them, and don't make excuses as to why they couldn't make it to a family function. Don't take away the natural consequences of their actions, because this makes it easy for them to keep on using. Addiction is a disease, but there is treatment for it, and you as the family member should help your loved one get that treatment.
As difficult as it may be, and as much as your loved one might deny it, they need help for their addiction. Addiction does not just go away on its own. A good treatment program will help your loved one understand why they do what they do, why they have become addicted to their substance, and what to do about it.
There is always an underlying reason for addiction, oftentimes involving past conflict or trauma. When your loved one goes through rehab, they will dig deep into themselves to discover what has caused and contributed to their addiction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps individuals study their thought processes and reactions to certain events, and change those thought processes. Instead of your loved one believing he or she needs to use drugs or alcohol to deal with stress, to manage conflict, or to suppress painful memories, therapy helps them learn healthy ways to deal with these issues.
Your loved one isn't a bad person because of their addiction. True, they have made and continue to make bad choices, and they have certainly hurt you and other loved ones. But they need your love and support to help them see their need for treatment. Talk to your loved one about getting help, or enlist our intervention services to help you approach them. Once your family member enrolls in treatment, you can provide encouragement, participate in family therapy, and go to counseling yourself to ensure you are doing all you can to help your loved one succeed.

The AM-1 all weather speaker is the unsung hero of many an outdoor party. We decided to celebrate this wonderful little speaker by collaborating with NY's finest art suppliers KRINK and asking five visionary artists to handpaint a speaker.
Graffiti artist and KRINK founder Craig Costello, multimedia artist Tania Debono, illustrator Matt Sewell, typeface obsessive Ricardo Gonzalez and London graffiti legend Malarky have all received a speaker and created a unique piece of art.
London's finest record store, Rough Trade East, caught wind of this project and offered us their shop wall to display these customized speakers from the 1st July for a month.
We will create a giant colouring board behind the-wall mounted speakers and KRINK markers will be available to Rough Trade customers to add their mark to the exhibition throughout July.
