The lack of an accurate database of owners of issued patents can be troubling for the public. The absence of readily accessible patent ownership information can inject an unacceptable level of mystery and risk into patent clearances and chain-of-title searches. This is particularly true if the ownership interests in a patent become fragmented among several parties, including lien holders or other creditors.
Further support for an accurate patent ownership database comes from the "bona fide purchaser for value" rule incorporated into Section 261 of the Patent Act. This section confirms that an unrecorded patent assignment or grant is void as to a subsequent purchaser or mortgagee for value and without notice of the unrecorded assignment or grant. A voided assignment can, in turn, create undesirable liability on the part of an assignor to a patent acquirer.
But, good news. The U.S. Patent Office is presently seeking comment on several rules that would mandate the disclosure of any patent assignment. Specifically, the PTO is proposing to require that disclosure of the current assignee be made:
- At the time the patent application is filed,
- At the time of payment of the patent issue fee,
- Any time an assignment is made after the application filing date,
- Any time an assignment would cause the loss of entitlement to the small entity fee,
- In order to obtain a discount of maintenance fees.

What are local business listings?
Online marketing is an important key to growing your business, and there are a lot of options out there. Let's take a look at one of the easiest ways to reach and win more customers: local business listings. These types of listings are crucial for boosting your local search presence in search engines.
This video explains what local business listings are and how to use them to reach your customers.
If you have a brick-and-mortar business or a local service area, you'll want your business information on as many online directories, maps and review sites as possible. Google Business Profile, Google Maps, Yelp, Bing, Foursquare—these are just some of the many places you'll want your business to appear. And most are free!
Search engines pull information from these sites and display it under your web address for local search results. It's possible that, without any effort on your part, your business is already on some of them. But is it accurate? To know for sure, do a web search on your company's name and locale to see where it shows up.
Equally important is figuring out where you're not showing up. How? One quick way is to search for competitors in your area. You'll want to be sure you're on every site and app they are.
Wherever your business is listed, be sure to claim it. This process varies from site to site, but basically involves creating a business user account and then verifying you own the business. Claiming your business allows you to update and enhance your listing and respond to customer reviews. Some listing sites also provide you with valuable metrics, such as user views and customer leads.
Speaking of reviews, studies show the majority of consumers trust online reviews as much as they do word-of-mouth recommendations. Encourage your happy customers to share their experience on a review site. If you get negative reviews, use them as opportunities to reach out to dissatisfied customers and try to win back their business. Try to keep an open mind; if their point is valid, embrace it to make your business even better!

Three hundred days after Russia invaded Ukraine, the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has left his country for the first time since war began. He has traveled to shore up support from a key ally, the United States of America.
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: We understand in our bones that Ukraine's fight is part of something much bigger.
KELLY: President Biden met with Zelenskyy this afternoon at the White House. Both leaders spoke with reporters afterwards. Tonight, President Zelenskyy will address a joint meeting of Congress. NPR's White House correspondent Asma Khalid, diplomatic correspondent Michele Kelemen and Tim Mak in Ukraine are here to brief us. Asma, you kick us off. What was the main message we heard from these two leaders today at the White House?
ASMA KHALID, BYLINE: Well, I would say the main message was about showing solidarity in the face of Russia's attacks this winter. But it was also clearly about showing bipartisan support here at home for the ongoing war in Ukraine. In his remarks this afternoon, President Biden made it clear multiple times, in fact, that the United States will continue to aid Ukraine for as long as this war takes.
BIDEN: As we head into the new year, it's important for the American people and for the world to hear directly from you, Mr. President, about Ukraine's fight and the need to continue to stand together through 2023.
KHALID: And this message comes as some polls have shown that some Americans are questioning the large sums of money being sent to Ukraine with really no end to the war in sight right now.
KELLY: Tim, you are there in the thick of it. You're watching from Odesa, Ukraine. One of the big questions has been, what does Zelenskyy - on behalf of his people, but what does he see as a way to end the war? And he actually brought up this today, this notion of a, quote, "just peace." What did he say?
TIM MAK, BYLINE: Well, he was talking about what the conditions for a just peace might involve. And he said it would include the ability to maintain sovereignty and territorial integrity and freedom for his country. And these are things that could take some time to achieve. He spoke about how the longer this goes on, the more injustice occurs, the more people would be motivated by thoughts of revenge. And, you know, this really fits with the conversations I've had with Ukrainians over the past year.
When the war initially started, there were - there was a lot of hope that the war could end in a matter of months. But following revelations of atrocities in formerly Russian-held territories and the long-drawn-out violence that has taken place over the past 10 months, there are many, many more who think that Ukraine should not seek peace until it gets back all its territory, all the things that they think Ukraine deserves. And in a lot of my conversations in Ukraine this past week, I found myself talking with a number of people who thought this war could go on now for years.
KELLY: For years - well, that brings us to diplomacy. Michele, the U.S. is leading the allies, leading the coalition, supporting Ukraine. What was Biden's message about that role for America?
MICHELE KELEMEN, BYLINE: Well, President Biden and his administration have been careful throughout this war not to push Zelenskyy into offering concessions to Russia, and Biden was talking about that again today. They say that Russia has shown no signs that it's interested in peace. Even today in Moscow, Vladimir Putin was telling his top brass that he's going to give the army everything it needs with no financial limits to win. And - but President Biden points out that the war is taking a toll on Russia. He said Putin thought he could weaken NATO, but NATO is stronger. He said Putin thought he would win this war quickly. But now we're 300 days in, and the U.S. and its partners are still pouring in military equipment and aid into Ukraine, in part to help Zelenskyy - to put him in the best possible position if and when peace talks are possible.
KELLY: Speaking of pouring in aid, there were some specifics announced today, new aid that the U.S. is providing Ukraine. Do you have details, Michele?
KELEMEN: Yeah, another nearly $2 billion in military aid and it includes a new capability for the Ukrainians - that is a Patriot missile battery. President Zelenskyy said that's going to significantly strengthen Ukraine's air defenses, which is really key as Russia bombards critical infrastructure across the country. And he doesn't want just one. He said he wants more. The U.S. still needs to train Ukrainians on how to use the system, and Biden says that's going to take some time.
KELLY: OK. Let's turn to how the rest of today is going to unfold. Asma, Zelenskyy, as we mentioned, he's headed to Capitol Hill. He's going to address the U.S. Congress tonight. What are the stakes for him?
KHALID: Well, Congress is working this week to finalize a big spending bill that includes $45 billion of new aid money for Ukraine. You know, this comes on top of the billions that we've been discussing throughout this conversation. And I will say Zelenskyy was not shy about suggesting that his country will need even more military assistance. He did make a point, though, in his remarks earlier today saying that he believes aid will continue to flow to Ukraine, even in a new Congress where Republicans will control the House. You know, Mary Louise, though, the reality is that this bipartisan support has already begun to show cracks. The GOP leader in the House, Kevin McCarthy, has said his party will not write a blank check for Ukraine. And, you know, this is noteworthy because McCarthy is likely to become speaker of the House next month. But, you know, a personal plea from Zelenskyy could be seen as a way to shift the dynamics.
KELLY: It will be really interesting to see how his message goes down as we watch the faces of all the lawmakers gather tonight. Tim Mak, we'll give you last word since you were there in Ukraine. Just give us a little bit more of a picture of how Ukrainians might be taking in this moment with everything they are going through and watching for the first time, their president outside Ukraine - first time since February 24.
MAK: Yeah, well, they're following it very closely, but it's kind of worth keeping in mind what many Ukrainians are facing today. Many of them will not be able to watch Zelenskyy's speech to Congress even if they wanted to, and that's due to Russian strikes against electrical infrastructure all across the country. Millions of people in places like Kharkiv and Kyiv and in Odesa, where I am right now, they're without electricity and without internet connections, water and heat just as temperatures are hovering around the freezing point, and we get into this deepest part of winter. It's also worth noting what Zelenskyy's decision to travel outside of Ukraine says about his thinking regarding the stability of his government and the situation of his country at war. I mean, 10 months ago, his allies in the U.S. were urging him to leave Kyiv when the war began, and he insisted on staying. So his decision to leave...
KELLY: Right.
MAK: ...Tells us that he has some comfort in the stability of his government, and he's not as worried about Russian's capability to undermine him or the Ukrainian military in his absence.
KELLY: That we're in a different phase of this war. All right. NPR's Tim Mak in Odesa, NPR correspondents Michele Kelemen and Asma Khalid in Washington - we're all going to be listening tonight. And we will be bringing you special coverage of the Zelenskyy speech starting around 7:30 Eastern. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Sounds like a conversion. Full credit. :)
as 4million+ citizens of ANZ - actually do trust
Trust is a malleable quality just like morality such things are not set in stone. Just a reminder.
As for those other stones, I somehow managed to drive myself to an ER while in an agony similar to RB's. Not recommended. -
For anyone reading who are thinking that perhaps where Russell with this all, so might you and wouldn't early non-invasive treatment be better:

Anyone know how that works? Do they project from different direction to intersect on the stone or something?
And naturally, sick of reading it though you might be, I'm glad you've relief from the long and short-terms pain now Russell and all the best for your return to fighting fit.
Russell, my sympathies too. It is nearly 20 years since I experienced something similiar.
It is interesting how the pain can make one both unreasonable and irrational. As I lay on the living room floor, curled up in the only position that would bring a slight relief to the pain, our GPs nurse turned up with a syringe full of an antispasmodic. I took one look at the needle and groaned "No, not that". My wife and she looked at me as if I had lost my senses - which I had, of course, except for the one in the back. The nurse then said: "Well, it's up to you. It is either this or I can just get you a bottle of beer and a skipping rope".
Needles to say I took the syringe (ouch).All this talk of gall stones made me go and read the Wikipedia entry about them. The last sentence is intriguing:
Much as in the manner of diamond mines, slaughterhouses [in China] carefully scrutinize offal department workers for gallstone theft.
What happens to gall stones here?
No doubt partly down to those pollies investing hugely over the past decade in things that affect quality of the patient experience (and community-based primary services, promotion and prevention) - but which don't show up in the hospital throughput figures to which some weak thinkers reduce the whole health system.
I think is is a hugely important point.
Apart from patient satisfaction surveys (and I can't actually recall ever seeing one in the news), it's hard to neatly quantify those improvements. And yet the quality of the experience really helped me.
You can't get that picture if all you ever report is misadventures (and I like how transparent our system has become about those) and elective surgery waiting lists.
I may be slightly skeptical when you tell me the pain is 10/10 and you are sitting there resting comfortably. However, you won't be able to see my skepticism,
Firstly thank you Paul for choosing such a fine profession.I know how important your job is and if only on a subconscious level, you are not forgotten :)
I might just give you 1mg of morphine instead of 3mg... if I was wrong, you get another 3mg in 5 minutes time anyway.
heh at this point may I suggest that 3 is the magic number, but I will remember the 5 minute intervals, thank you again.
Re the non-rolling stones, I've had them for over 20 years but the first instance is always the most memorable. It was in Sydney and the nearest clinic open on a Saturday morning was in King's Cross. I had staggered in white-faced, shuddering with pain and bent over 90deg.The methadone kids kindly moved over and let me through first.
I think I was given a pethadine injection. I was legless after five minutes on my way to the pharmacy to get pain-killers and had to be assisted into a cab. The doctor apologised when I next saw her and said she had automatically given me the standard dosage for addicts who needed a bit extra to break through the pain barrier!
Last year, looking for something to do, I offered up a kidney for transplant. I was OK to do it medically but finally rejected when they found one kidney was smaller than the other. Who got the runt was an impossible decision for them to make.
But, and this is the important factor for this forum, all things being equal the recipient would have got the one kidney with it's residual stones the specialist said.
Bugger! Almost got rid of them.
well. there it is, my new. erm, 'tribute-oriented' alias
a dissolution of 'kidney stones'
into the above rearrangement! -
well. there it is, my new. erm, 'tribute-oriented' alias
a dissolution of 'kidney stones'
into the above rearrangement!You never cease to surprise, I'll say that much.
At this point, I would just like to point out that my recent bout of infirmity has ruled out my attendance at tonight's Box/Celebre revival, which I've been looking forward to for ages.
One of the Media7 Clubbing Team will be attending in my place, with the partner in crime of her choice.
Simon Grigg sounded so excited on the radio this morning.
PS: I'm calling a major Jacko moment in the course of the evening, and ageing hipsters going hog wild when it happens. Sob.
Repeating Sighs, Reggae his Pints, and Age Penis Rights are but three of the thrilling excitations that may be derived from the selection 'Ageing Hipsters'; and one cannot even think of letting the Rearrangement Servant loose on the likes of 'bout of infirmity' ( oh, way too much tofu there..) - left to me then to assert most simply that, the more we attend to language, the more of it there is to attend to...
and there is plenteous anthropology in that -
Last year, looking for something to do, I offered up a kidney for transplant.
There are various hobbies that require slightly less commitment y'know.
Glad you're on the mend, Russell. And aren't our public hospitals just the best when you need them the most? I have the greatest admiration for nurses, in particular. When Ian was diagnosed with leukemia 13 years ago, it was a very scary time - we were told he wouldn't live past the next five years and we had to make an instant decision as to whether we wanted children or not - but it was all made immeasurably better by good information, great care, and lots of compassion. From the very first time we stepped into the old Haematology ward at Auckland, we knew he would be looked after. We spent a year in and out of that ward, in and out of the daystay, and getting to know, intimately, the language, and blood count numbers, that surrounds leukemia. We watched a lot of people die -some in front of us. And we lost the innocence that having good health brings. I won't say it's been a bowl of cherries since - nobody who's ever had vast amounts of chemicals and radiation poured consistently into their bodies for that period of time ever lives a truly healthful life ever again. But. They saved his life, and for that, I, for one, will always be truly grateful.
And aren't our public hospitals just the best when you need them the most?
Yes, the thing is when you need them the most ,the staff seem very good at putting you on the top of the list, which makes me wonder about those who complain about being on a waiting list, but that is not to invite debate., I just absolutely agree with you Jackie . :)
that's called "triage" - and yes we need our medical professionals able to decide "this person can't wait" - I think the big problem with waiting lists is that for some people it means an infinite wait (for some small value of infinity that's too long) - really we need someone managing the other end of the list too - maybe simply a web page where I can check to see where I'm on the list and how it's progressing forward would be a start
Waiting lists are a good thing - if we didn't have waiting lists we'd have expensive people and machines sitting there available for us day and night - much more expensive - the lists allow us to smooth out the demand to keep the resources we have being used cost effectively - that works for lists just long enough to fill in the peeks and valleys of demand - anything else will just grow for ever ....
Thanks Russell - a very nice blog post.
Agree with you completely on the splendour of health professionals.
On questions about pain, it isn't so much the "how bad on a scale of 1 - 10" that baffles me but rather the "what type of pain are you feeling?" I don't know - the sore type?
On Tramadol: very pleasant. I can remember, just after my arthritis relapsed in the wake of aortic valve replacement surgery, lying in a pool of sun at my parents' place, immobilised but with the pain melting away as the Tramadol kicked in, thinking to myself, 'maybe a broken down body isn't so bad after all if it gives me a reason to keep taking this.' Too pleasant.
"I dont know - the sore type?"
Astute question Terence W - and one which should be given *much* more consideration.
I also have arthritis - so, that's the kind of dull grating continuous ache. Except for the sudden vicious inflammatory flare up.
Every so often (result of old accidents) my back goes out: arrrgfh! muscle spasms! That clenching totally rivet-you pain.
Before I reached menopause, I was endometriotic: this meant, every month, various parts of your body you really wouldnt expect to 'play up' - like your bowel & anus - swelled and hurt a lot. I am *sooo* glad I am post menopausal.
And then there's the good old side effects of having bad teeth & slightly wrongly developed jaw bones...that's just, meh? Backgound ache.
Dont get me onto the whip-sharp dagger attack on having something between your eyeball & your contact lens.
Humans? Love 'em! An infinite suite of pain!
I'm with TroyHoward on this one Russell. For a free thinker like you I am rather surprised.
What staggers me is how lightly your correspondents have tiptoed over the fact that you were seeing a quack. I think a good Doc would have found it before the quack realised his "treatment" wasn't working too well. Late summer seems a long time ago.
I too have suffered kidney stones as yes, it was pukingly painful! It took 5 minutes at the GP and I was straight down to A&E.
The pain akin I am assured, from someone who has experienced childbirth and a stone, as being pretty bloody equivalent. The morphine worked a treat.
Geez, what did it cost you for all those "My osteopath, Roydon, told me he shouldn't be treating me so often" visits?
Ross Mason- good osteopaths, like good muscular-skeletal manipulators- KNOW the workings of bodies: they literally handle manipulate & help bodies.
They are worth their (very modest) fees.**Side rant: some people - masseurs(of the benign healing kind), and more -er- different (rongoa-oriented) produce healing results.
I am totally irreligious:none of these comments supports any kind of religion.
Ross Mason - a quack is someone who takes your money and doesnt produce a benefit.
Most osteopaths stay in business because they produce benefits.
Your comments are really rather silly. -
I'm with TroyHoward on this one Russell. For a free thinker like you I am rather surprised.
What staggers me is how lightly your correspondents have tiptoed over the fact that you were seeing a quack
Gee Ross, do you think I haven't done the thinking on that? I've even talked about it in a presentation to a Skeptics conference. I can't resolve it on a theoretical level, but on a practical level, it works for me.
I've been getting my back treated on and off by osteopaths for about 20 years. The sort I go to generally do pretty practical stuff -- if a massuer or physio did the same things you probably wouldn't bat an eyelid. In general, it's helped me with the kind of strains and injuries people get when they work at computers (although I've suffered from back strains and injuries since high school). I did try physio, but it didn't help me. There really aren't all that many conventional options for resolving chronic back pain, so I'm grateful to have had some joy in doing so.
I think a good Doc would have found it before the quack realised his "treatment" wasn't working too well.
If anything, it was the reverse. The first person to suggest kidney stones was the osteo.
Geez, what did it cost you for all those "My osteopath, Roydon, told me he shouldn't be treating me so often" visits?
Less than it might have, given that ACC covers about a third of the cost if there's an accident involved. Private insurers cover it too.
And if the osteo had been the new age shyster you asssume he is, wouldn't he have kept on treating me, rather than nagging me to go to the doctor because he realised it wasn't simply a recurrent back strain?
No, Ross has convinced me. I'll urge my partner to stop using the exercises recommended by the quack who solved her OOS and go back to the physiotherapists and the doctors who took a lot of her money without improving anything. That's obviously the smart thing to do.
Actually OOS itself has been the cause of some controversy amongst the Skeptics.
Because the underlying mechanism of the distressing symptoms isn't properly understood, some Skeptics decided that it was therefore an hysterical affliction or a silly name for "cramp".
I had an email argument with Owen McShane, who was most insistent that my bout of it (which announced itself when my wrist suddenly went floppy while I was holding a cup of coffee over my keyboard) was indeed "cramp" (which does actually have a specific and quite different meaning in medicine).
Wiser heads held that it wasn't wise to dismiss a well-described phenomenon because its cause wasn't well understood.
O Giovanni, you disappoint me - despite all the opinion Ross has brought to the table, you're still going with - evidence??

Safety is at the core of everything we do and is one of our central guiding principles. We promote and foster a culture where people truly care about one another and where everyone shares in our goal of zero incidents.
Our COVID-19 response
In this difficult time, the safety of our employees and trade partners on our project sites is our most important priority. We have implemented strict protocols and standard operating procedures on jobsites and are following Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. On all our jobsites, we are fostering open dialogue and encouraging trade partners to communicate all safety concerns to their foremen so they can be immediately addressed.
We see with a 360-degree approach
Our proven method combines an emergency preparedness plan, protections for the public, trade partner training and safety, and jobsite cleanliness. These components are the building blocks of our strong safety culture.
We lead the way
Thinking about safety through a different lens starts at the top: our senior leaders invest time and resources in the most advanced technologies and equipment, but they also empower each employee to feel responsible for creating our safety culture.
We watch out for each other
We want every employee and trade partner to feel that they are part of a common good and cohesive team. We help our teams form stronger relationships with trade partners by emphasizing people and teamwork over processes and checklists.

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine, filiform needles through the skin at specific points on the body with the intention of manipulating Qi. The filiform needles are solid, as opposed to the hollow hypodermic needles most people are familiar with, and are usually made of stainless steel, but can also be gold or silver.
How does Qi flow through the body?
Acupuncture is based upon the jing luo channel network theory of the circulation of Qi. Although Qi permeates every part of the body, it tends to collect and travel along channels called "jing luo." These are the so-called "meridians" of acupuncture.
The jing luo channel system connects all aspects of the body together into one network of energetic communication.
Just as water flowing through a landscape tends to seek the path of least resistance, so Qi flows through the body. The flow of Qi follows the folds and creases of the body's landscape. It follows the divisions between muscles and the clefts between muscles and bones, collecting in the small hollows and depressions of the body to form pools of Qi.
These "pools of Qi" are places where Qi is concentrated and more accessible. They are the acupuncture points, where Qi can be accessed and manipulated through the use of finger pressure (acupressure), massage techniques (tui na; literally "pinch and pull"), dermal friction (gua sha), cupping, moxibustion (a form of heat therapy), and, of course, acupuncture.
How does the practitioner manipulate Qi?
The successful manipulation of Qi begins by contacting the Qi in the channel at one or more of the points being needled. This is called "obtaining the Qi" and is heralded by the arrival of the "Qi sensation."
The patient typically feels the Qi sensation locally around the needle site and then in adjacent areas, usually along the associated channel. It has been described as a dull, heavy, aching, or mildly electrical sensation that spreads in wave-like patterns. Most people do not find the Qi sensation to be painful or unpleasant, just unusual.
An experienced acupuncturist can usually feel the patient's Qi through the needle once it arrives at the site. Once the practitioner has obtained the Qi and successfully manipulated it, the needles are removed. The entire process can take anywhere between just a few minutes to over an hour, depending on the condition of the patient. Most acupuncture treatments last about twenty minutes.
Acupuncture video
Watch a video of an acupuncture treatment.
What should I expect after the treatment?
Most patients feel pleasantly relaxed and refreshed after an acupuncture treatment. Patients who were experiencing pain before the acupuncture session are often pleasantly surprised to find their discomfort greatly reduced after the treatment.
When is acupuncture used?
TCM practitioners use acupuncture to treat a wide range of conditions. Some of the conditions for which acupuncture is commonly used include:
- Pain
- Injury
- Trauma
- Repetitive strain conditions like tennis elbows and carpal tunnel syndrome
- Headache
- Rheumatoid and osteoarthritis
- Back pain and sciatica
- Fibromyalgia
- Dysmenorrhea and other gynecological conditions
- Asthma
- Post operative and chemotherapy nausea
- Stroke rehabilitation
- Patients undergoing recovery from addiction and substance abuse
What are the possible side effects of acupuncture?
Side effects are rare. Patients may occasionally experience slight bruising at the point of needle insertion.
"Needle Shock": a feeling of faintness, chilliness and perhaps slight nausea. Needle shock happens rarely, but when it does, it is most likely to happen in situations in which the patient is very nervous about the needles, is extremely exhausted or fatigued, or is experiencing low blood sugar from not having eaten for a long period of time before the acupuncture treatment.
Needle shock can be disquieting to the patient but is not considered harmful. Most states that regulate acupuncture require practitioners to provide informed consent forms outlining these possible side-effects.
When shouldn't acupuncture be used?
The use of acupuncture is not as prominent or may even be contraindicated in the treatment of:
✔ Infants and very young children
✔ Very weak or very elderly patients
✔ People with compromised immunity
✔ Patients suffering with certain bleeding disorders or severe blood loss
✔ Patients who are very weak, emaciated, who are suffering from low blood sugar, or who have collapsed due to fatigue and exhaustion
✔ Patients with significantly low blood pressure
✔ Patients who are suffering with extreme anxiety or who are very nervous about the needles
✔ Pregnancy: while acupuncture is generally considered safe for most women during pregnancy, there are certain acupuncture points that are forbidden during pregnancy. Pregnant women should talk with their OB-GYN doctor and their TCM practitioner about these restrictions and any other concerns regarding their pregnancy before undergoing an acupuncture treatment.

Whippets are a true sporting hound, bred for speed and are the fastest domesticated animal for their weight, capable of up to 56 kilometres per hour. Whilst Whippets look like miniature greyhounds, sleek and built for speed, it is unclear exactly which breeds were used to create the Whippet. It is however thought that Bedlington Terriers played an important role in the establishment of this breed.
The origins and popularity of the Whippet extend to the north of England where they were raced by working man and expected to earn their keep through winnings. Today the Whippet is predominantly a much-loved gentle pet for all age groups and lifestyles.
There are few dogs that are as clean and well-behaved in the house, or as easy to feed and maintain. The Whippet makes for a quiet, dignified, unobtrusive, yet highly decorative addition to any household. Blessed with a gentle and affectionate nature, the Whippet is anxious to please their owners and are easy to train. Whippets make truly wonderful companions and are ideal for all family types including the elderly and families with young children.
Average Lifespan
Approximately 14 years
Grooming and care
The Whippet is a low maintenance dog, with very little grooming required.
Although the Whippet looks somewhat delicate, they are in fact, an aero-dynamically constructed canine athlete, with a hardy constitution. They enjoy walking, running or playing regardless of the weather conditions outside. However, if left alone for long periods some Whippets will take to the garden to dig. An adequate exercise program consisting of at least 30 minutes of activity a day will keep them in top condition and away from those garden beds!
Health Concerns
For the latest research in breed-related problems in Whippets visit the University of Sydney's website.

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) / Wells Fargo Housing Market Index reported that home builder confidence rose by one point to a reading of 62 for September. This was the highest reading since November 2005, when the NAHB reported a reading of 68 for home builder confidence. Any reading above 50 indicates that more builders are confident about housing market conditions than those who are not.
NAHB notes that builder confidence has been growing at a moderate pace since July 2014; this is in line with economic conditions in general. Relatively low mortgage rates and stronger labor markets are helping would-be buyers with their decisions to buy homes now.
FOMC Statement and Fed Chair Press Conference: No Rate Hikes Yet
The minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve revealed that Fed policymakers have decided to wait on raising the target federal funds rate, which is currently set at 0.00 to 0.25 percent. While the FOMC statement indicated that policy makers acknowledge moderate progress in economic growth, a majority did not feel that the economy is ready to withstand a rate hike. When the Fed does raise rates, consumers can expect to see higher mortgage rates as well as increases in lending rates for credit cards and loans.
FOMC members said that housing markets were growing at a steady but moderate pace, but that inflation was lagging below the Fed's benchmark 2.00 percent level due to transitory effects of lower energy and import prices. The Fed expects that inflation will reach its 2.00 percent goal over the medium term and will not likely raise rates until FOMC members are confident that inflation will rise as expected.
FOMC members continued to assert that any decision to raise rates will be based on close review of domestic and global financial and economic trends and will not be based on meeting the Fed's dual mandate of achieving maximum employment and an inflation rate of 2.00 percent.
Committee members also said that economic conditions could continue to warrant keeping the target federal funds rate below normal levels for the longer term.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen gave a press conference after the FOMC statement concluded. She addressed questions about the Fed's decision not to raise rates and said that concerns over global developments contributed to Fed policy makers' decision not to raise rates. Ms. Yellen explained that a stronger U.S. dollar has caused deflationary pressures and increased competition for U.S. exports. The Fed isn't overly concerned about global conditions at present, but changing circumstances could change the Fed's likely intention to raise rates before year end.

We had an absolutely perfect day with our tour guide - Rogin Luo - who took us for a hike along The Great Wall! Didn't know what to expect and were thrilled to have him as our guide. Very imformative, knowledgable and fun! We go to experience a part of The Great Wall that was unrestored and see all its natural beauty. Got a long history lesson along the way! After the hike, we all went to lunch at a small place at the bottom of the hill. Located in a house, we ate lunch in the proprietors bedroom! What a hoot! Rogin is the Best of the Best! This tour company delivered for us and we are extremely grateful.

HighTech Garage Door - Garage Door Spring Services Chicago, IL - 773-790-4311
The springs in your garage door are the most vital part of the door opener mechanism. They are what support most of the weight of the door when it's being raised, so you don't have to personally exert any energy to push the door up yourself. A broken spring can cause your garage door to get stuck or prevent it from functioning properly (by making the other springs support more weight than they are designed for). Springs, because they come under so much pressure with such regularity, have to be inspected often and replaced when necessary to keep a garage door functioning properly.
It takes a lot of technical know-how to tune a string up to take the weight of your door. The spring itself, first of all, has to be capable of supporting that weight. Also, it has to be fitted properly. A spring can come loose and cause damage to your property or even be a safety hazard. We always recommend you call experts for inspecting or replacing broken springs. It's the safer and much more cost-effective solution in the long run. HighTech Garage Door has been replacing broken springs for several years for our customers in the Chicago, IL area. Don't hesitate to call us to take advantage of our 24/7 service and have your broken spring replaced in quick time.
Generally, there are two kinds of springs used in garage doors: torsion springs and extension springs. We replace and repair both kinds. We always use the best materials for our job and the best tools, too:
Torsion springs
Torsion springs are more reliable than extension springs, in general, but they are also more expensive. The torsion spring system involves an arrangement where the spring is wound against a shaft, which in turn provides energy to cables attached to the garage door. When a door is lower, these springs store energy. When the door has to be raised, the springs transfer stored energy to the cables, which in turn lift up the door.
Residential garage doors usually only have a single torsion spring attached to them. A commercial garage door, on the other hand, usually has a mechanism where several springs work in tandem together to help raise the door. This is because commercial garage doors, in general, tend to be of sturdier make and need to be used much more often than residential garage doors.
Extension springs
Extension springs are low-tech springs that provide energy to the door when the pressure exerted on either end is let up. In this system, there are no cables used and they provide energy directly to the door. This system is less safe than torsion spring systems, because if an extension spring snaps, there is nothing supporting the door anymore and it may immediately fall or get off – track. Extension springs should be checked much more often than torsion springs to make sure they are holding up under the strain.
HighTech Garage Door will both service and replace your garage door opening mechanism, if necessary, no matter the spring used. We have an experienced team that knows their job and years of experience working for our customers in Chicago, IL.

Report a problem with this listing
Business Startup Tony has for many years worked with non financial entrepreneurs starting their own businesses. He is very aware that new businesses need professional financial advice and guidance but are often worried about the costs. Tony will provide a lot of the initial advice in the first meeting, which costs nothing, and then the client can choose the services he requires. Tony can offer book-keeping and payroll services at very reasonable costs through his staff but still retaining the expertise of a fully qualified Chartered Accountant. Profit forecasts, cashflows and business plans can all be discussed with someone who knows what banks want to see.
Payroll and Book Keeping These is often the first services a business needs from an Accountant and Tony has staff that can offer this at a very reasonable cost. Tony can even offer weekly payroll at a price that most businesses can afford. We all use Sage Accounts and Payroll so if you want to do this yourself then we can assist with sourcing installing and even training you on the software. If you use our in house services then you can ring at any time to get up to date information or we can provide periodic reports that suit your requirements. What ever you need we can help and advise.
On-Line Accounting We also offer Sage One, the on-line accounting system, which is fully compatible with our own internal systems. Even if you use a different account system we can usually still help as we adapt to your needs rather than you having to change how you work to suit us.
Accounting System
As well as offering a Sage Book-keeping service or support for your own version of Sage we also have an on-line book-keeping system available which we support as well as having access to the authors support system.
If you would like a 60 day free trial of this system then go to www.tonybetley.aims.co.uk and register from the Accounting Systems page.
If you would like a demo of the system then please contact me and I will arrange for an online demo to be given to you.

As for Adler, I was much impressed by a personal experience. Once, in 1919, I reported to him a case which to me did not seem particularly Adlerian, but which he found no difficulty in analyzing in terms of his theory of inferiority feelings, Although he had not even seen the child. Slightly shocked, I asked him how he could be so sure. "Because of my thousandfold experience," he replied; whereupon I could not help saying: "And with this new case, I suppose, your experience has become thousand-and-one-fold."
What I had in mind was that his previous observations may not have been much sounder than this new one; that each in its turn had been interpreted in the light of "previous experience," and at the same time counted as additional confirmation. What, I asked myself, did it confirm? No more than that a case could be interpreted in the light of a theory. But this meant very little, I reflected, since every conceivable case could be interpreted in the light Adler's theory, or equally of Freud's. I may illustrate this by two very different examples of human behavior: that of a man who pushes a child into the water with the intention of drowning it; and that of a man who sacrifices his life in an attempt to save the child. Each of these two cases can be explained with equal ease in Freudian and Adlerian terms. According to Freud the first man suffered from repression (say, of some component of his Oedipus complex), while the second man had achieved sublimation. According to Adler the first man suffered from feelings of inferiority (producing perhaps the need to prove to himself that he dared to commit some crime), and so did the second man (whose need was to prove to himself that he dared to rescue the child). I could not think of any human behavior which could not be interpreted in terms of either theory. It was precisely this fact—that they always fitted, that they were always confirmed—which in the eyes of their admirers constituted the strongest argument in favor of these theories. It began to dawn on me that this apparent strength was in fact their weakness.

Popper on science as falsification
4 comments:
» Russell:
Popper may not have the entire truth about how science is separate from non-science…
I'm curious. What, in your mind, is the most prominent thing that's missing from Popper's account? - 20 April, 2012 19:12
- Russell Blackford said...
Well, one problem is that we all use hypothetico-deductive reasoning in everyday life. And it is used by scholars in the humanities who are not usually regarded as scientists.
I've written a few pieces here and there about what I think was new with the rise of science back in the 16th and (especially) 17th centuries, epitomised by the approach of Galileo. A greatly increased emphasis on hypothetico-deductive reasoning was certainly one of those things, and is doubtless a distinguishing feature. Others included the greater/more sophisticated use of mathematics, and the use of new instruments such as the telescope and the microscope to extend the human senses. All of these created synergies with each other.
But as you know, I think the sciences and humanities are continuous, with no clear dividing line between them. Also, Popper was not trying to demark science from the humanities, and he might even have thought it a false distinction, but from a kind of intuitive (if elaborate) pre-science which may sometimes have grains of truth but is in danger of being pseudo-science.
Still, the expression "non-science" is ambiguous, and I think it's worth keeping this in mind. - 20 April, 2012 20:43
"Others included the greater/more sophisticated use of mathematics"
I think it would be more precise to talk about the novel use of careful quantitative measurements as a basis on which to build and test a (mathematical) theory. I think this is a key feature distinguishing science from non-science, rather then simply the use of sophisticated mathematics. From Pythagorian mysticism to dubious financial wizardry, we see clearly that to have a precise mathematical model of something is not good enough -- one needs to base that model on measurements, and to keep it "minimal", so too speak: it should only serve to explain the raw data and predict more of it, not to make the theory look nicer (although somehow a correct and explanatory mathematical model tends indeed to be esthetically pleasing).
(I know Galileo is famous for saying that the Book of Nature appears to be written in the language of mathematics, but the Pythagorians believed the same yet were not considered as being scientific - unless one counts their achievements in pure maths and perhaps the harmonic law of vibrating strings, which might well be the first mathematical law of physics ever formulated.)
Just my 2c. - 21 April, 2012 18:31
