💀 Everything you ever wanted to know about post-death decomposition ("Body Farm"video) 💀
Curious about what kinds of physical changes happen post mortem? The video below will fill in many blanks. Of greater concern to you is likely how and when you'll shuffle off this mortal coil. Naturally, most of us prefer to "stage left" with as little pain and discomfort as possible, something medical science has make more certain than was true long ago. But die we must. The larger question is what lies afterwards – click to read. First, satisfy your curiosity about what becomes of your "earth suit" after death and then read what follows below.
So you know what's coming: You die and then face judgment. It is natural to think "Well, OK, I think my good deeds outweigh my bad so I am good to go, right?" Wrong. Ahem, dead wrong. The penalty for sin either must be paid by you or by someone qualified to pay it for you. The trick is there is only one individual who qualified to pay the penalty for your sins which he did. However, like a gift certificate purchased for you by a benefactor, you have to claim or redeem it and then follow the directions that come with it to preserve it. So how do you learn about this gift and how to claim it? The best way in my opinion is to hear from someone who has done it. In this vein, I heartily recommend you watch this video featuring scholar Dr. Michael Brown in which he shares how he went from hell bound to redeemed: https://askdrbrown.org/about/personal-testimony/
Following Messiah and living the faith authentically is countercultural & radical. One way to do so is in intentional community as a lay monk or nun (Married or single is OK)

Green cemeteries: An alternative to environmentally-unfriendly burials!
Most of us naturally resist thinking about our earthly demise and the "disposal" of our remains. We Baby Boomers likely tend to harbor hope that we will somehow cheat death — or at least put it off for 100 or more years. Whether you happen to live 100 years or more, one day you will "pay the piper" — that is, kick the bucket, buy the farm, cash in your chips, etc. For us American Indians death is simply a matter of changing worlds. We trust that the Great Spirit/HaShem/God is not a jack booted thug intent on consigning most people to some sort of eternal torment for missteps committed during a handful of years or decades but, rather, is intent on reconciling most of humankind to himself. You may disagree — which is something we American Indians respect — though I personally am hard-pressed to understand people who promote a theology which portrays God as a judge who (to be honest) differs little from those who populated the "People's Courts" in Nazi Germany. Be that as it may, I am here to place before you something more pragmatic — more "here & now" – namely how you will dispose of your mortal remains. Many will opt for being embalmed and buried in an airtight coffin that is sunk in a concrete jacket so as to minimize deterioration through time. This is a personal choice, though there are powerful arguments against this — if only because embalming fluid and such has a deleterious impact on the local environment. If you are open to an alternative — something "green" — consider having your mortal remains disposed of in a green cemetery (If it could be pulled off I'd argue for the establishment of burial platforms much like my Plains Indian ancestors and brothers utilized in various localities. There is something inherently appealing about raising a body up to meet the world above and beyond IMO):

Fascination with Dying & Death: Death as Participation (Which is Generally Adaptive)
Background: As you likely are aware, there has been a lot of research written up in newspapers and science periodicals and web pages that focuses on the nature of consciousness and the brain mechanisms that give rise to it. I do not want to delve into so weighty a topic as consciousness, but instead just want to draw your attention to mirror neurons and cortical-limbic (higher mental processes-emotions) connections. It is these that facilitate identification with others including experiencing their emotions be it anger, terror, joy, etc. as though we ourselves were experiencing these feelings. This makes explicable, in part, our love affair with certain novels, movies, documentaries, and life experiences. It also provides at least a partial explanation for why we are generally fascinated with injury, death and dying (Don't tell me you don't rubberneck at accident scenes or find some aspects of death and dying curiously compelling. I am not talking out morbid obsessions or pathological "enjoyment", but rather natural curiosity informed by a sense of identification with the dying or soon-to-die soul). It is these brain mechanisms which I'd like to posit as one of the main players in human fascination with death and dying; mechanisms which are also, I contend, adaptive in some respects.
Humbly Submitted for Your Consideration:
The individuality and social belonging and cohesiveness engendered by the neural mechanisms cited above, influenced and shaped by one's native home life and culture and such, lends us to be everything from loners to "the life of the party" (The boorish extrovert). This self-same set of neural modules – consciousness – also makes us aware of our own mortality and that of others. We find ourselves thus fearful of death – yet drawn to it. Sometimes the greater the fear experienced, the greater the curiosity about the process of dying and death. We want to both understand and by so doing disarm or at least lesson our fear and the resultant anxiety or unease it engenders in us. Or if nothing else desensitize ourselves to it, and by so doing surmount or transcend our fear or distress.
Given this, the historic and ongoing fascination people experience when it comes to death becomes explicable: It arises from a combination of curiosity and participation in the sufferings and death of others. We rehearse our own death, in short. When this participation – -this empathetic tie – with the dying is one tempered by sympathy and concern, we experience death as pain. When the dying is the object of our revulsion or dislike or even hatred, there may be an element of pleasure associated with his or her passing. These feelings also engage our sense of competitiveness – of wanting to survive – of being left standing while another or others have not been so fortunate. History shows that this is natural; that is, part of the human condition; a feature of our evolved brain.
If most or all empathy is lacking and death is inflicted or observed as sexually exciting or pleasurable in another sense, then the normal mechanisms have become pathologic. This is the world of the sociopathic killer – single strike or serial or what-have-you.
Of course, participating (neutrally, so-to-speak) in the dying process and death of a relative or historic personage can be adaptive and is so, I would argue. In short, it reduces death anxiety and by so doing frees us to better focus on living and thriving as we do so. Or if our circumstances are onerous, it can liberate us to carry on the good fight; to wage the good fight to hang on and survive to see a better day.
This little excursion into the "Shadowlands" is not comprehensive. I like to leave room for my readers to think and 'cuss & discuss' within themselves and others.
Here are some posted writings of mine that may inform your own cogitations on dying and death:

Our Incredible Shrinking Life & Influence: Staring into the Face of our own Mortality (Death & Dissolution)
In Heaven, the ancient sages tell us, neither deeds nor their doers are lost to time and its cruel machinations. But here in this world, most of us will fade from memory – and then history, be that history a professional accomplishment or award or merely an entry in the Social Security rolls. A few will endure far longer; those extraordinarily accomplished few, both good and evil. And even they will be diminished across time in most cases, starting out as a book and then gradually, inexorably being whittled down to a chapter, then a paragraph, and then an ever shrinking footnote.
Of course, we persevere because, well, there really is no choice but to move on in some fashion. And we hope, too that maybe somehow we will defy the odds and hang on longer and have a bigger impact than our deeds and feats so far suggest; that somehow we will have a more profound influence tomorrow than we did today. That maybe our existential misery and angst masks a genuinely "Wonderful Life" and, like George Bailey, some flesh and blood or other worldly version of Clarence Oddbody will pop into our lives and reveal how influential and thus important we truly have been… and are. Such are the fairy tales we carry into adulthood; the delusions and illusions we nurture because they keep us believing the improbable. And why not? These give us comfort, instill hope and make it possible to cope with a reality which spits in our face and mockingly dangles our insignificance before us; a reality that reminds us that with each passing day we are drawing ever closer to that day all hope of turning the tide will slip forever from our grasp, chased from this world by our last mortal breath.
Why do we rail so against insignificance and dissolution? Should we not embrace these, as opposed to denying them? Is denying them tantamount to saying we are both vital to the universe, maybe even its crowning achievement and centerpiece? But can we embrace the cold hard reality of our mortality and insignificance without sinking into a species of despair deeper and darker than any grave? Can we use such a conscious realization to some good end? But who, you ask, but the clinically depressed would want to embrace them until they have to, which for most of us is likely on our deathbed? Is not denial or disassociation in this instance good for us? Would not an open embrace of our mortal puniness lend us to pessimism and even cynicism? Is not optimistic hope healthful and its polar opposite detrimental to our best interests – body, mind and soul? Does not our survival instinct argue that we must press on – the future being a hoped for gap of sorts that runs ahead of us which we gladly fill in with "…I will do or be better….more dutiful, good, and thus significant….tomorrow"?!
It seems so natural to resist and even oppose that which casts us in a poor light or threatens our person, as this can diminish or even extinguish our existence…our unique physical presence in this world and in the social scheme of things. Did not Dylan Thomas wisely implore us to "Rage against the dying of the light"?
And here in America, endowed as we are by our Constitution with the "inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness", and fueled by unbridled competitiveness from boardroom to bedroom, we seem especially unwilling to do or say or even think that somehow, someway, someday…we will beat the odds and buy or bargain or scientifically negotiate our way around or beyond our own mortality and petty ego (And it is an ego that will not let death have the final word even – as tombstones and obituaries bear ample witness to).
But consider this hard, cold fact: Even for the few of us whose names will endure for as long as there are men and women to "tell the tale" ….both here on Earth and on any worlds we visit and eventually colonize…the physical Cosmos will one day wind down and die. Some envision our kind making an exodus into other universes or dimensions, …buying time and perpetuating ourselves over and over again as one universe dies and we escape to another….which is at present only informed speculation and wishful thinking. But should this actually prove to be the case, you can count on the "immortals" of history shrinking in significance as new names crowd out the old.
In light of this, what are we — stubborn, stupid or just plain foolish? Perhaps we are none of these. Maybe we are just inveterate gamblers, like cigarette smokers who plainly see that the odds of escaping disease or impairment are stacked against them, but who blithely smoke on, smug in their conviction that they will somehow win the biological lottery.
In the final analysis, what is wrong with us? Why can't we embrace reality and (Ahem) live with its message and implications? Are we incapable of doing so without sinking into a morass of hopelessness, from which the route of escape is drugs, booze, sex, superstition or pseudoscience – singly or in some combination? Why is our mortality and ultimate insignificance so terrifying? Will having everything we are and have achieved wiped out when our world dies – when the universe dies (if we manage to colonize far flung worlds) — mean that the whole cosmic play (as it were) is a colossal, meaningless, unmourned tragedy?
So why am I parading human mortality and our ever increasing insignificance with the passage of time before you? Surely only a curmudgeon or pathologically morbid soul would plunk himself and his readership down all in front of a mirror whose backdrop is, well…. basically a desert or cemetery!
It's enough to make you, well…….run into the arms of your own…or someone else's….faith tradition! But even we who believe in the Almighty have to wrestle with the issues of our mortality and insignificance – plus the added possibility that the tally of our words and deeds may leave us considerably diminished in stature compared to what we believe to be the case. Heaven must surely have a hierarchy of sorts, its own pecking order based on individual merit; which is to say, status as reward for acts of faith, charity, love, sacrifice and such while a man or woman was alive. And as such, there surely will be a class of post-mortem dwellers in God's realm who will be, well…less significant…less notable and respected and regarded… then most others (Insignificant, in short).
Well, with all due respect to Milton, better to be insignificant in Heaven than significant in Hell, yes?! But even so, eternally existent but insignificant is an odd form of comfort for believers on this side of the veil.
So we theists, it would seem, must wrestle with pretty much the same mortal issues as the agnostic or atheist, only they are not concerned about what lies beyond the grave…while we are. In terms of this life, it would seem the nonbeliever has a lighter load of baggage than the believer. Faith, it would seem, has its limitations and perchance cannot move every mountain – on this or the other side of life.
So where do we look for comfort or reassurance, if there is any to be had? Can we surmount or banish the specter of our own demise, and the fact the ripples we made on the human pond will likely diminish over time and then be lost for good? How do we get over the death of our oft trumpeted (but frankly overstated) individual and collective human uniqueness – as well as the distant demise awaiting our evolutionary womb (The Cosmos that birthed everything including us)?
The answer, as such, has always been there — plainly staring back at us.
There are many things the ancient philosophers and prophets got right, and much they got terribly wrong. In the Bible – the Hebrew Scriptures, that is – the Earth is depicted as a cube floating in water with a dome placed over it bearing holes through which the light of Heaven reaches people at night (Starlight). A global flood is suppose to have occurred ages ago, although there is no geologic evidence of it whatsoever and, had such a flood taken place in the timeframe and manner depicted, the thermal energy generated would have turned the entire body of water into a boiling cauldron that would have eradicated life both in and floating on it.
The litany of mistakes, contradictions and mythic elements in the Biblical scriptures is staggering and well documented. While fundamentalists do mental handsprings to reconcile that which cannot be reasonably reconciled, most believers realize that their Bible is not and never was meant to be a history or science book. It is primarily a means of communicating values and a code of conduct that in some respects is simply an endorsement of moral behavior and propensities longstanding in our species; a sense of what is right and wrong – the Torah within, if you will – that evolved in our primate ancestors, conferred survival advantages, and thus was preserved and elaborated in the hominid lines that lead to our branch of the primate evolutionary bush.
But these ancient texts also contain stories — myths in the sense of The Epic of Gilgamesh — that reveal profound insights into human nature. This isn't too surprising, given that these peoples had to grapple with the same life and death issues that resonate throughout human existence. But what is surprising, is that some of the insights contained in their myths and stories were not seized on and fully developed as the text was being hobbled together. Later, yes, others came along and extracted the more poignant insights and messages woven into the ancient text, spinning interpretations that have waxed and waned in popularity down through history. Some both saw and wrote about what I will shortly share, but it never quite seemed to reach the status of widespread consensus among believers (Among Jewish Rabbis and informed congregants, yes, but less so rank-and-file Christians and such) . But like a book or letter or set of keys sitting plainly in front of our faces which simply does not register, that which is "obvious" can readily be missed.
The odd thing is that the insight we seek is contained in the very first book of the Hebrew Scriptures. It is as though the keys we are looking for, have been hanging in the lock of the main door of our house all along.
The old saying "begin at beginning" is an apt one when it comes to ancient Biblical insight into the origins of our all too human propensity to seek to elevate and perpetuate ourselves. The mythic story of Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden tells the tale:
Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which HaShem G-d had made. And he said unto the woman: 'Yea, hath G-d said: Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'
2 And the woman said unto the serpent: 'Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat;
3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, G-d hath said: Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.'
4 And the serpent said unto the woman: 'Ye shall not surely die;
5 for G-d doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as G-d, knowing good and evil.'
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
Source for quote: Bereshit – Genesis 3 – Hebrew Scriptures
Many Christian theologians looked at this morality tale and pegged it as an act of both capitulation to temptation and an act of rebellion against the Almighty; an evil that stained humankind with an "original sin" that has undermined human nature ever since and from which men require redemption or salvation. This is not how the learned descendents of the men who wrote the Hebrew Scriptures including Genesis see it. And it is in their take on the Genesis story and the nature of humankind that points us to a proper perspective.
The Jewish Talmud is essentially a collection of rabbinic discussions pertaining to Jewish ethics, laws (instruction/revelation), customs, and history. It has two components: the Mishnah, the first written compendium of Judaism's Oral Law; and the Gemara, a discussion of the Mishnah and related Tannaitic writings that often ventures onto other subjects and expounds broadly on the Hebrew Scriptures (The Tanakh). The terms Talmud and Gemara are often used interchangeably. (Adopted from the Wikipedia entry for the Talmud)
In-a-word, the Talmud articulates a cogent view of our basic nature and relationship to God:
In Genesis 2:7, the Hebrew Scriptures Bible state that the Almighty formed (vayyitzer) humankind. The spelling of this word in Hebrew is unusual insofar as it uses two consecutive Yods instead of the one that is expected. Learned Rabbis and ages have inferred that these Yods stand for the word "yetzer," which translates to "impulse," with the existence of two Yods here indicating that humanity was formed with two impulses: A good impulse (the yetzer tov) and an "evil" impulse (the yetzer ra).
The yetzer tov is considered the moral conscience, the inner voice that reminds us what's right (internalized and native values) when confronted with something that is that is unlawful (forbidden).
The yetzer ra is difficult to nail down, because there are diverse ideas concerning its nature. It is not a desire to do evil in the way we think of it in the West, but instead is widely considered to be our selfish nature, the desire to satisfy personal needs with little or no regard for the moral consequences of fulfilling those desires.
The yetzer ra is not a bad thing, as the Talmud notes that without it people would not build homes, marry, have children or even carry out business affairs. But the yetzer ra can lead to wrongdoing when it is not controlled or offset/counterbalanced by the yetzer tov. For example, there is nothing inherently wrong with being hungry, but it can lead some folks to shoplift food or just grab morsels and eat as they are shopping in a grocery or convenience store. There is nothing inherently wrong with our libido or sexual desire, but if it leads a person to commit rape, adultery, incest or such then the yetzer ra has won out.
The yetzer ra is generally viewed as internal to a person, as opposed to being an external force acting on a person. The "the devil made me do it" thesis is not in line with the majority of thought in Judaism. Although some say that Satan (Adversary to what is lawful) and the yetzer ra are one and the same, most rabbis view Satan as merely a personification of our own selfish desires, rather an external force or being that acts on us from without.
Of course, people have the ability to choose which impulse to follow: The yetzer tov or the yetzer ra. That is the essence of the Jewish understanding of free will. The Talmud notes that all people are descended from Adam (i.e., a mythic representation of early humans that evolved in Africa), so no one can blame his own wicked conduct on his ancestry. To the contrary, we all have the ability to make choices (unless profoundly impaired mentally-psychologically), and we will all are accountable for the choices we make.
The foregoing six paragraphs are adapted from Judaism 101: Human Nature
And now, with your indulgence (O' Reader), I will expand on this:
Now, as indicated above the evil impulse is actually a good thing, so long as it doesn't get out of hand. In a way, the evil impulse is our survival instinct; the ancient wiring that helps us avoid a premature death due to starvation, predation, attack or such, while concomitantly compelling us to perpetuate ourselves (Both biologically and in terms of the words and deeds we leave behind).
In Eastern religious – and we must realize that Judaism came out of a Near East milieu and thus shares some features in common with religious traditions that arose and spread throughout the ancient world – evil is not always considered the polar opposite of good. It is part of what makes the whole function properly. If you've seen the yin-yang symbol, then you have an inkling of this holistic dance as-it-were.
Evil then only becomes a problem when it overshadows the good impulse (yetzer tov) or throws things out of balance. And what happens when the yetzer ra ("evil") eclipses the yetzer tov ("good")? Self takes center stage and begins trying to direct all the other players. This spirit of selfishness makes us….flee our mortality and resist insignificance.
Keep in mind that selfishness does not make on evil, but does so when it takes us far beyond preservation or survival into the domination, usurpation, marginalization, suppression or even extirpation of anything (thoughts included) or anyone that we perceive as a threat to our inflated Self.
In some respects, this strategy works – the evil become immortal in history and perpetually significant (influential) – but equally hated and despised (A poor trade-off in the hearts and minds of sane and reasonable peoples).
Psychology and not just the historic record also bears witness to what happens when one feeds the bulldog – which is to say, lets the yetzer ra dominate. Studies have shown that when a child is spoiled and his self-esteem is fed ad libitum, you'll wind up with a spoiled brat, a criminal, a narcissist or worse.
So we have fingered that aspect of ourselves that makes it almost impossible for us to embrace our mortality and accept death and dissolution. So how do we get and keep yetzer ra & yetzer tov in balance such that fear of death& dissolution does not get the upper hand? Here are few approaches I'd like you to consider:
- The Buddhists strive for Nirvana which the Wikipedia entry describes as "the perfect peace of the state of mind that is free from craving, anger and other afflictive states (kilesa). The subject is at peace with the world, has compassion for all and gives up obsessions and fixations." While probably a difficult road for many Westerners, there is much in Buddhism one can "dose adapt" to achieve a healthier frame-of-mind and outlook, i.e., as in living in the moment ("Timelessness") and putting your ego in the back as opposed to the front seat as you go about your daily affairs. Click to access an introduction to Buddhism
- Give yourself over to helping others less fortunate than you are. This is good for those you help and good for you in terms of shifting your focus from self to others and also letting your yetzer tov take the lead. You not only feel better about yourself, but for believers there is the prospect of post mortem recognition and acknowledgement (rewards) by the Almighty.
- There is a popular adage among many religionists which goes, "Let go and let God." In real world terms, it means to do all you can about a given situation then release it to God's keeping and have faith He will handle things in your best interest (albeit your best interests may involve pain, loss or such). Some might call this kind of surrender defeatist or fatalistic and it is in some extreme forms. However, when done with a heart that trusts, this release is adaptive and thus healthy.
- Stop seeing insignificance and dissolution as a negative. This seems to run contrary to our survival instinct and by no means I endorse embracing death or wishing for it, but rather putting it in perspective as a built-in feature of the natural order that paves the way for others (those who survive us) to hopefully experience at least some of the joys and growth-conductive experiences and challenges we have.
There are many others, but I'll leave it to you to explore and ascertain what's "out there" and what works best for you. The main thing is that you recognize that while self-preservation and resistance to death is natural (A primal drive – 3 Primal Drives) – the yetzer ra – it is important to engage in practices and thought patterns that bolster the yatzer tov.

NYCOMED US INC., PLAINTIFF,v.GLENMARK GENERICS LTD., ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Roanne L. Mann, United States Magistrate Judge
Plaintiff Nycomed U.S. Inc. ("Nycomed" or "plaintiff") commenced this civil action on December 12, 2008, alleging that defendants Glenmark Generics Ltd. and Glenmark Generics Inc., USA (collectively, "Glenmark" or "defendant") infringed Nycomed's patent for its Cutivate(r) Fluticasone Lotion 0.05%, U.S. Patent No. 7,300,669 ("'669 Patent"), by seeking approval to market a generic fluticasone lotion. See generally Complaint ("Compl."), ECF Docket Entry ("D.E.") #1. On January 12, 2009, Glenmark filed its answer to the complaint, denying liability and asserting four affirmative defenses. See generally Answer ("Ans."), D.E. #10. Glenmark also counterclaimed for declarations that (1) Glenmark's fluticasone lotion product does not infringe any of the claims of the '669 Patent; (2) the '669 Patent is invalid; (3) the '669 Patent is unenforceable on account of Nycomed's inequitable conduct before the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO"); and (4) this is an exceptional case, entitling Glenmark to attorney fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285. See id. (Counterclaims) ¶¶ 144-52. In a reply filed on February 17, 2009, Nycomed denied the allegations made in Glenmark's counterclaims. See generally Nycomed's Reply to Defendants' Counterclaims, D.E. #32. With Nycomed's consent, Glenmark amended its answer on July 24, 2009, to drop its affirmative defense of laches; Glenmark's counterclaims remained unchanged. See generally Amended Answer ("Am. Ans."), D.E. #108; Stipulation Regarding Motion and Defense, D.E. #104. Nycomed filed its reply to Glenmark's amended pleading on August 10, 2009. See Reply to Defendants' Amended Counterclaims ("8/10/09 Pl. Reply"), D.E. #123.
By letter dated September 18, 2009, plaintiff sought a pre-motion conference and leave to amend the complaint, in order to assert claims for bad faith, unclean hands, and exceptional case, based on Glenmark's submission of allegedly "false and misleading information" to the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and the "withholding of critical information from the Court and Nycomed." See Plaintiff's Motion to Amend/Correct/Supplement Complaint ("9/18/09 Pl. Mot.") at 1, D.E. #143; id. Ex. A ([Proposed] Amended Complaint ("Am. Compl.")) ¶¶ 69, 78-149. Nycomed supplemented its letter-motion by letter dated November 20, 2009. See Reply to Response to Motion ("11/20/09 Pl. Supp."), D.E. #195. Defendant opposes Nycomed's motion to amend as futile, arguing that Nycomed has failed to plead any cognizable causes of action with regard to any of the prospective additional claims. See Defendant's Response in Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion to Amend ("9/29/09 Def. Opp."), D.E. #169.
Not to be outdone, Glenmark wrote to the Court on November 13, 2009, seeking leave to file a Second Amended Answer, alleging a new theory of inequitable conduct before the PTO; specifically, Nycomed is alleged to have falsely told the PTO that Nycomed's Cutivate(r) lotion possessed unexpected and superior potency as compared with the prior art Cutivate(r) cream, despite the fact that the FDA had been told that there was no difference in potency between the cream and lotion. See Letter Motion for Leave to File Defendants' Second Amended Answer, Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaims ("11/13/09 Def. Mot.") at 1, D.E. #190; id. Ex. A (Defendants' [Proposed Second] Amended Answer ("Second Am. Ans.")). Predictably, Nycomed opposes the motion, arguing that it is "unduly belated" and that the new inequitable conduct claim "fails to meet the standards for pleading" such a claim "with particularity...." Response in Opposition to Letter Motion for Leave to File Defendants' Second Amended Answer ("11/18/09 Pl. Opp."), D.E. #194.
For the reasons that follow, Nycomed's motion to amend its complaint is granted in limited part, to allow Nycomed to include in its ad damnum clause an allegation of exceptional case and request for attorney fees; the Court recommends that Nycomed's motion to amend otherwise be denied. Glenmark's motion to amend its pleading is granted.*fn1
Pursuant to Rule 15 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, where, as here, a responsive pleading has already been filed, a party may amend its pleading "only with the opposing party's written consent or the court's leave[,]" which should be "freely" granted "when justice so requires." Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). Amendments are favored because they "tend to facilitate a proper decision on the merits." Sokolski v. Trans Union Corp., 178 F.R.D. 393, 396 (E.D.N.Y. 1998) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted); see also Monahan v. New York City Dep't of Corr., 214 F.3d 275, 283 (2d Cir. 2000) ("[M]ere technicalities should not prevent cases from being decided on the merits[.]") (citations omitted). Therefore, consistent with Rule 15's mandate, leave to amend should be granted "absent evidence of undue delay, bad faith or dilatory motive on the part of the movant, undue prejudice to the opposing party, or futility...." Id. at 283 (citing Foman v. Davis, 371 U.S. 178, 182 (1962)). Whether to grant leave to amend is a decision committed to the discretion of the district court. See Ruffolo v. Oppenheimer & Co., 987 F.2d 129, 131 (2d Cir. 1993) (per curiam) (quoting 3 JAMES WM. MOORE ET AL., MOORE'S FEDERAL PRACTICE ¶ 15.08[4], at 15-64 (2d ed. 1992)).
I. Nycomed's Motion to Amend
In addition to its original claims for direct infringement and inducement of infringement, Nycomed's proposed new pleading contains two new counts: one entitled "Bad Faith and Unclean Hands" (Count Three) and another entitled "Exceptional Case" (Count Four). See Am. Compl. at pp. 17, 31. Although not expressly included in its amended pleading or initial application to amend, Nycomed also purports to add allegations of willful infringement. Compare Transcript of Oral Argument on December 4, 2009 ("12/4/09 Tr.") at 4, and 11/20/09 Pl. Supp. at 5-7, with 9/18/09 Pl. Mot. & Ex. A thereto.
Glenmark opposes Nycomed's amendments, on the ground that each of the proposed claims is futile. See 9/29/09 Def. Opp. at 1, 3. Futility is one of the grounds on which leave to amend a pleading should be denied. See Monahan, 214 F.3d at 283 (citing Foman, 371 U.S. at 182). An amendment is futile where it "fails to state a claim under the principles employed by the Court when deciding on a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss." Magee v. Paul Revere Life Ins. Co., 172 F.R.D. 647, 650 (E.D.N.Y. 1997) (citations omitted); see also Champion Titanium Horseshoe, Inc. v. Wyman-Gordon Inv. Castings, Inc., 925 F.Supp. 188, 189 (S.D.N.Y. 1996) ("[L]eave to file an amended pleading... must be denied where the proposed pleading fails to state a claim.") (citing Azurite Corp. v. Amster & Co., 52 F.3d 15, 19 (2d Cir. 1995)).
As discussed below, this Court concludes that Nycomed has not stated valid claims under any of the three articulated theories.
A. Exceptional Case
Nycomed has conceded, as it must, that allegations regarding exceptional case do not give rise to a separate cause of action; rather, a party pleading "exceptional case" is simply noting its intention to move for attorney fees at the conclusion of the case, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 285.*fn2 See Eli Lilly & Co. v. Wockhardt Ltd., Cause No. 1:08-cv-1547-WTL-TAB, 2009 WL 3032349, at *2 (S.D. Ind. Sept. 18, 2009) ("While the parties refer to Lilly's exceptional case allegations as a 'claim,' the Court believes it is more appropriate to view it as an expression of Lilly's intention to file a § 285 motion following trial in the event it is the prevailing party."); 11/20/09 Pl. Supp. at 3 (citing Wockhardt, Nycomed concedes that its "exceptional case allegations are more appropriately viewed as an expression of Nycomed's intention to file a § 285 motion following trial in the event that it is the prevailing party"); 12/4/09 Tr. at 6 (Nycomed acknowledged, at oral argument, that it would be sufficient to include in the ad damnum clause a demand for fees under section 285).
Nycomed should be permitted to amend its complaint to include in its prayer for relief a demand for attorney fees under section 285, as Glenmark has done in each of its pleadings. See Ans. at p. 35; Am. Ans. at p. 35; Second Am. Ans. at p. 40. Nycomed's expression of intent to move for fees requires no further verbiage in the pleading. The Court is aware of no precedent that has defined an assertion of "exceptional case" as a separate cause of action.*fn3
Therefore, Nycomed should not be permitted to include a separate count based on exceptional case, or the allegations underlying that nonexistent cause of action.*fn4 As the Second Circuit has opined: "That the amendments would not serve any purpose is a valid ground to deny a motion for leave to amend." Kaster v. Modification Sys., Inc., 731 F.2d 1014, 1018 (2d Cir. 1984). If and when Nycomed prevails, it will have an opportunity to make the requisite showing to support its motion for fees.*fn5
B. Willful Infringement
1. Incorporation By Reference
Although Nycomed's proposed amended complaint and letter-motion of September 18th are silent on the issue of willful infringement, Nycomed alleges in its November 20th supplemental letter, and confirmed at oral argument, that it purports to assert a claim of willful infringement. See 11/20/09 Pl. Supp. at 5-7; 12/4/09 Tr. at 3. Unable to fathom the precise contours of Nycomed's willful infringement claim, the Court infers that it is based at least in part on what Nycomed characterizes as Glenmark's litigation misconduct. See 11/20/09 Pl. Supp. at 5 (citing Novartis Pharms. v. Teva Pharms., 2005 WL 3664014 (discussing plaintiff's "claim of willful infringement/litigation misconduct")). In order to read a willful infringement claim into its amended complaint, Nycomed relies on Rule 10(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,*fn6 and a single sentence in the proposed pleading, wherein Nycomed "incorporates the subject matter of its August 10, 2009 pleading entitled, 'Nycomed's Reply to Defendants' Amended Counterclaims,' as if fully set forth herein." Am. Compl. ¶ 69. See 11/20/09 Pl. Supp. at 5-6; 12/4/09 Tr. at 3-4.
Nycomed's incorporation-by-reference argument is unavailing. "Although there is no prescribed procedure for referring to incorporated matter, the references to prior allegations must be direct and explicit, in order to enable the responding party to ascertain the nature and extent of the incorporation." United States v. Int'l Longshoremen's Ass'n, 518 F.Supp.2d 422, 461 (E.D.N.Y. 2007) (quoting 5A WRIGHT & MILLER, FEDERAL PRACTICE & PROCEDURE: CIVIL 3d § 1326 (citing, inter alia, Arce v. Walker, 139 F.3d 329, 336 n.7 (2d Cir. 1998))). A Rule 10(c) adoption clause that does little more than make wholesale reference to the contents of a prior pleading exemplifies the kind of incorporation that fails to give the requisite "guidance to the responding party." Wolfe v. Charter Forest Behavioral Health Sys., Inc., 185 F.R.D. 225, 229 (W.D. La. 1999); accord Hinton v. Trans Union, LLC, 654 F.Supp.2d 440, 447-48 (E.D. Va. 2009); see Levitch v. Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc., 94 F.R.D. 292, 295 (S.D.N.Y. 1982).
Here, Nycomed purports to incorporate "the subject matter" of its August 10, 2009 Reply, by an adoption clause arbitrarily inserted at the end of its fact discussion, immediately preceding the declaration of its first claim for direct infringement. See Am. Compl. ¶ 69. Most of the averments in the incorporated pleading make no specific factual allegations, but instead include denials of allegations in defendant's counterclaims. See generally 8/10/09 Pl. Reply, D.E. #123. To be sure, some of these denials include language alluding to "evidence of Glenmark's willful infringement" in submitting its Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA") to the FDA. See 8/10/09 Pl. Reply ¶¶ 49, 50, 55-70, 72, 76-78, 82-93, 98-99, 101-02, 146, 148-50. Nevertheless, none of Nycomed's pleadings articulates a separate claim for willful infringement, and surely not one based on litigation misconduct. The wholesale incorporation of Nycomed's 8/10/09 Reply thus makes it impossible to ascertain precisely which previously asserted facts are being realleged and for what purpose.*fn7 Such an obfuscating "backdoor" approach to pleading should not be countenanced, notwithstanding Rule 10(c)'s broader objective "to encourage pleadings that are short and free of unneeded repetition." Wolfe, 185 F.R.D. at 230. Nycomed's proposed amended complaint does not contain a claim for willful infringement, and Nycomed should not be permitted to concoct one by incorporating its entire prior pleading.
2. Willful Infringement v. Exceptional Case
In any event, even if Nycomed had expressly pled a cause of action for willful infringement, this Court would recommend that it be disallowed. Nycomed concedes that such a claim would be "surplusage" in this case. See 12/4/09 Tr. at 6, 18. Moreover, it appears that Nycomed misapprehends the gist of a claim for willful infringement.
As the Federal Circuit has explained, "[t]he tort of willful infringement arises upon deliberate disregard for the property rights of the patentee" and, if proven, "may be accompanied by enhanced damages" under 35 U.S.C. § 284. Vulcan Eng'g Co. v. Fata Aluminium, Inc., 278 F.3d 1366, 1378 (Fed. Cir. 2002); see also Yarway Corp. v. Eur-Control USA, Inc., 775 F.2d 268, 277 (Fed. Cir. 1985). Here, however, the Hatch-Waxman Act -- which amends the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act ("FFDCA") and patent laws, and under which this patent infringement action was brought -- expressly precludes "damages or other monetary relief" for an act of infringement based on an ANDA filing or certification unless "there has been commercial manufacture, use, offer to sell, or sale within the United States or importation into the United States of an approved drug...." 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(4)(C).*fn8 As it is undisputed that Glenmark has not engaged in any of the aforementioned activities, Nycomed will not recover damages if it prevails, and there thus can be no damages to enhance under section 284 based on a finding of willfulness. See 12/4/09 Tr. at 5. Therefore, Nycomed's "claim" of willfulness is of no discernible legal import.
Furthermore, relying on Novartis Pharmaceuticals v. Teva Pharmaceuticals, 2005 WL 3664014,*fn9 Nycomed mistakenly equates "willful infringement" with "exceptional case" and assumes that litigation misconduct may support a finding of willful infringement. See 11/20/09 Pl. Supp. at 5. In fact, the Federal Circuit has made clear that those concepts are not interchangeable, and that litigation misconduct is entirely distinct from willful infringement. See Glaxo Group Ltd. v. Apotex, Inc., 376 F.3d 1339, 1350 (Fed. Cir. 2004) ("This court has recognized many types of misconduct that may create an exceptional case for purposes of awarding fees, including inequitable conduct before the PTO, litigation misconduct such as vexatious or unjustified litigation or frivolous filings, and willful infringement.") (emphasis added); accord Yamanouchi Pharm. Co. v. Danbury Pharmacal, Inc., 231 F.3d 1339, 1346-47 (Fed. Cir. 2000). In other words, willful infringement is but one of a number of bases on which a court may make an "exceptional case" finding and award fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285. See Yamanouchi, 231 F.3d at 1347 ("In assessing whether a case qualifies as exceptional, the district court must look at the totality of the circumstances.").
Contrary to the premise of Nycomed's theory of willful infringement, the Federal Circuit has expressly declined to equate willful infringement with filing an infringing (and even a baseless) ANDA, even when followed by litigation misconduct. In Glaxo Group, the Federal Circuit clarified its earlier opinion in Yamanouchi:
In Yamanouchi, the district court had found that the generic company's ANDA filing constituted willful infringement, but we did not adopt that rationale on appeal. Instead we cautioned that the trial court "need not have elevated the ANDA certification into a finding of willful infringement" and held that Danbury's entire conduct justified the award of attorney's fees.... Therefore, in Yamanouchi, we did not agree that the generic company had engaged in willful infringement, but rather determined that an award of attorney's fees was permitted because the generic had filed numerous baseless filings supporting its fruitless and meritless ...

Wayne Rooney will continue as England captain after manager Sam Allardyce made the 'easy' decision to retain his services.
Rooney, 30, has led his country for the past two years, but after taking over from Roy Hodgson following Euro 2016 Allardyce initially refused to confirm he would keep the armband.
Allardyce also declined to name a skipper in his first squad announcement on Sunday night, adding a minor element of intrigue, but the Manchester United forward always looked firm favourite.
'Wayne has been an excellent captain for England and the manner in which he has fulfilled the role made it an easy decision for me to ask him to continue,' said Allardyce, who informed the players of his decision after the start of a week-long get-together at St George's Park on Monday.

"Severe treatment of the elderly."
About: Royal Oldham Hospital Royal Oldham Hospital Oldham OL1 2JH
Posted by Chantel R
What could be improved
My grandmother was admitted to hospital after falling down the stairs. She has an existing mental health condition and was in a very poor state physically and mentally.
The hospital left her over the weekend in a poor mental state as they insisted that they could not access her mental health records therefore could not treat her. The suffering she has encountered this weekend has been disgraceful and inhumane. She has been left in an agitated state, she is not sleeping, eating or smoking (which is not like her!). It has been hard for the family to see her like this and I personally called the switchboard and spoke to the NHS management who said she would sort it on Saturday, yet nothing was done. Today we have had to phone up her community support team to go and see her in hospital to help her get the treatment she needs. Do hospitals not work weekends? Do they only treat what they can be bothered with? They should be ashamed by the way they have treated an old lady and left her to deteriorate mentally. Not to mention the suffering of her irrational thoughts tormenting her. I will be writing a letter to the Chief Executive. Its about time the ill treatment of our elderly stopped.

It works but study up on it first!
on 03/08/2014
I went to my doctor because I had a bad case of bacne (back acne) but it turned out to be some sort of bacterial infection...sorry, I can't recall its name. Its from excessive sweating and possibly supplements I take. I don't really have facial acne but I do have a minor case of rosacea as well so he prescribed Doxycyline for both. Within 5 days my back is almost 90% clear and the minor redness on my face is gone. I definitely feel like my skin looks alot tighter/smooth. For those complaining about being nauseous, vomiting, stomach aches etc. are you reading the label warnings? Make sure you are taking this on a full stomach during or immediately after meal or else you will feel sick. Also my label said do not consume dairy products within two hours of taking it. Hopefully my skin will stay this way once I'm off of it!
Changed the formula?
on 20/07/2014
I've used this product since 2006 and its worked just fine for cleaning my face and I've never had any problems with it. Until this year, it started causing red blotchy spots on my face. My forehead would breakout into rash like bumps and it would itch pretty badly. I never thought it would be the face wash as I've used it for years. Once I eliminated this from my regimen my face cleared up and the rash/redness went away. I'm not sure if my skin changed, the formula changed or the combination of this and BP is linked to the symptoms? - which is always possible. I've noticed others stating breakouts, rashes and redness from this as well in their reviews, so its just not me.

Romancing the Canoe
June 17, 2017 - September 10, 2017
From elegance and function to historical and symbolic significance, the canoe has been a fixture of Canadian identity for the entirety of our nation's history. Drawing from Glenbow's own collection, private lenders, the National Archives and other institutions, Romancing the Canoe explores how the elegant craft has been celebrated in Canadian art from the early 19th century to the 21st. Works range from early drawings of Europeans' first encounters with the canoe to the epic historical paintings of Francis Anne Hopkins, to surreal meditations on our national identity by contemporary artists such as Janice Tanton.

Karilynn Ming Ho: For the Left Hand Alone
June 17, 2017 - August 27, 2017
This work looks at the difficulty of understanding what is tangible or intangible in our technologically mediated presence. Using a range of references- personal experience, philosophy and pop culture, Ming Ho's work analyses the ways in which we can feel dislocated from "the real" in the modern, mediated world.

Book two in The Vigilante series.
A wanted man after the destruction of the Iron Butterfly Casino, Nox Boyet must flee the island of Manhattan - the only home he's ever known. Together with Cade, Sam, and the rest of their ragtag group, Nox must find a place to hide from the district police and the violent group of unknown drug dealers on his tail.
The solution - the Creel family farm in South Carolina.
But home isn't quite sweet for Cade, the prodigal son. As Cade struggles with his own secrets, shadows of the past threaten not only Nox's life but his relationship with his son, Sam.
Nox knows there will never be peace unless he finds the answers to all his questions - and the answers lie back on the island. Cade and the others must choose their paths - find safety or follow the Vigilante into the darkness of the city? The city where Nox will come face-to-face with the past.

Intriguing post-apocalyptic adventure!
4.5 Stars
Who Knows the Dark is an intriguing post-apocalyptic adventure. The narration is done perfectly. As with the first book, Jonathan Young really brings this story to life with his performance. I highly recommend this series to anyone looking for a strong action/suspense story with some romance.
This book is a bit slower paced than the first. The focus is on mystery and suspense as the characters work to puzzle their way through the complications of their forced exile. The pacing fits the story perfectly. It's highly engaging and really hard to put down.
My only complaint is I feel like the ending is a bit abrupt. In the first book the ending was perfect for me. There was a definite feeling of some kind of conclusion, even knowing there was more to come. I didn't get that feeling with this ending, and that was mildly disappointing.
This series has a romantic sub-plot, and there are a few explicit sex scenes. But I wouldn't recommend this to someone looking for a highly romantic or erotic story.
Overall, I loved this book! I'm emotionally connected to the characters, and the story has totally sucked me in. I can't wait for the next one!
*I received a free copy of this book to read for Inked Rainbow Reads in exchange for an honest review.*

In this paper, we numerically investigate all-optical bistable switching at low input intensity based on Fano resonances available in nonlinear slab waveguide gratings with narrow slits. Fano resonances with various quality factors (-factors) in the single- and double-layer slab waveguide gratings are designed and their characteristics are studied by the finite-difference time-domain method. Dependencies on wavelengths of operation, various switching intensities, contrast, and bandwidth of all-optical bistabilities are observed. Comparing nonlinear characteristics of single- and double-layer grating configurations, the latter provides more bistable efficiency with the low input intensities needed and high contrast with high -factors at certain operating wavelengths. Both grating configurations in this work provide interesting venues for highly efficient Fano resonance-based all-optical bistable switching devices.

LasX's sister company, LaserSharp® FlexPak Services, specializes in contract laser converting for the flexible packaging industry. FlexPak's qualified staff, state-of-the-art food-grade facility and commitment to quality and customer satisfaction deliver results that will exceed your packaging expectations. Using innovative LaserSharp® laser processing techniques, FlexPak offers controlled, precise and consistent laser scoring and perforating functions that deliver high quality products and rapid turnaround at affordable prices.
Unlike mechanical perforation methods which often puncture packaging materials and may compromise their integrity, laser perforating processes vaporize flexible films, creating clean, strong, and uniform holes. FlexPak's ability to control the output power of the laser also makes it possible to achieve blind perforations which facilitate the exchange of gases and vapors while maintaining a hermetic seal. These benefits make laser perforating a superior choice for perishable foods as well as microwavable and rapid-fill packaging.
