Clearwater Diabetic Coma Injuries
Significant changes in blood sugar level, as sometimes experienced by people with diabetes, can lead to unconsciousness. This state, a medical emergency, is known as a diabetic coma. Patients who are found quickly can be brought out of such a coma using blood-sugar-regulating medications and fluid replacement. Without prompt treatment, however, the patient may never fully recover.
If you or someone you love has experienced a diabetic coma, but were misdiagnosed or prevented from receiving treatment, you may be able to pursue damages for your unnecessary pain and suffering. To learn how we can help you, contact the compassionate Clearwater medical malpractice lawyers of Tragos, Sartes & Tragos, PLLC today at (727) 441-9030.
How Comas Occur
Diabetic comas are unsettlingly common: during their lifetimes, up to 15 percent of people with diabetes will experience at least one episode of diabetic coma. Many of these, especially for people with Type 1 diabetes, are due to sudden severe hypoglycemia. The onset of this type of coma is rapid, often occurring within half an hour of initial symptoms, or even in a matter of moments.
Important Factors
Certain factors increase the likelihood of a rapid drop in blood glucose: eating less than usual that day, exercising heavily without precautions, or drinking heavily. When symptoms of a blood sugar drop appear, many diabetics are able to prevent the onset of a hypoglycemic coma by eating carbohydrate-rich food. In some cases, however, unconsciousness comes too quickly for the patient to react.
In addition to hypoglycemic comas, a diabetic coma can also follow a period of diabetic ketoacidosis. This condition is caused by a lack of insulin in the body, leading to elevated blood sugar. This state is known as hyperglycemia, opposed to the low blood sugar of hypoglycemia. This excess blood sugar leads to dehydration and eventually unconsciousness. Before the invention of insulin therapy, it was usually fatal.

In a discussion of irony, characterization and plot, I can give only the briefest remarks since Answers on eNotes are limited to space and since our policy is to aid understanding of assignments but not to do student assignments.
Irony is rife throughout the novel. Both verbal irony (what is said has another figurative meaning) and situational irony (the situation is contrary to what is expected) occur in abundance. It is not wearying that there is so much irony, though, because it adds humor and helps characterize the first-person narrator: a first person narrator can directly describe themselves in only a limited and most often clumsy way, so techniques like irony develop characterization in an indirect manner. Ironically, Amis also uses irony to develop the setting (time and place), which is an unusual technique for establishing setting. An example of situational irony developing setting is:
Features include ... a removable troupee of rust on the hood, and adhesive key-scratches all over the paintwork. An English strategy: envy preemption.
The situation is that the narrator is admiring Aspery's new car moored out at his cottage. The irony is that the new car is decorated to look like an old heap of a rusted, scratched up wreck. This situational irony helps place the time as some future time after some hinted at change in the world makes life and prosperity more dangerous.
Since the first-person narrator has center stage for the exposition, the plot set-up comes directly from his comments, especially those relating to what he is doing or about to do. An instance of this comes at the end of the exposition where he segues from the frame to the interior story, the one he is in London to write. His comments tell not only, for example, that he has bartered with another writer for a writer's retreat in London, complete with A-to-B car, but that we are going to be reading along as he writes his "snappy little thriller":
I am ready to write. ... If London is the fly, where do I fit in? ... I'm the fly. ... Let's start with the bad guy. Yeah. Keith. Let's start with the murderer.
Once the narrator begins writing "Chapter 1," he employs a mode of characterization that is direct characterization in combination with indirect characterization. For example, he describes Keith directly in some points: e.g., he was a bad guy and he was "multiracial in outlook." Additionally, though, Keith is described indirectly through his relationships and encounters: "He had saving graces. ...strange-hued women had sweetened him somewhat." Most interestingly, Keith is characterized by juxtaposed contrast to what he is not: "Within those eyes [of "these worst guys"] a tiny unsmiling universe."

When the streaming apps Periscope and Meerkat went live earlier this year, a strange trend emerged. People started broadcasting the contents of their fridges.
Yes, their fridges. They�d stand in their kitchen and tour through their milk and odd leftovers. And when they weren�t peeking inside their fridge, their viewers would demand they do so, using hashtags like #showusyourfridge. (Even NASA astronaut Chris Hadfield felt the pressure during a livestream, when people in his audience typed, "Tell us about space fridges!")
Whenever a new tool comes along, high tech pundits write hyperoxygenated riffs on What It All Means. They�re fascinated by high-stakes money questions. So the questions about livestreaming were mostly about fame and profit. Will people use it to create new forms of celebrity stardom? Will they upend news-gathering or political campaigning? Will they pirate movies in real time?
Nope. They�ll use livestreaming in the same way every new technology is used—to do things that nobody expects. Things like #showusyourfridge.
The real significance of a new medium isn�t in how already-famous people use it or how businesses use it. It�s in the mundane uses. You�d think we�d have learned this lesson by now. When a new form of communication suddenly becomes cheap and easy, people don�t merely copy the stuff on TV and in Hollywood. They do new things. Weird things too, which violate previous ideas about aesthetics and utility.
For most of the 20th century, shooting and distributing video was so expensive that people used it mainly for profitable, high-stakes purposes: TV, movies, instructional video. When digital cameras and YouTube made it cheap, people began shooting things that previously would have seemed wasteful or silly: reaction shots, unboxing videos, extended cuts of puppies sleeping. The future of online video was never The Sopranos. It was Warhol�s Empire, eight hours of the Empire State Building.
Sure, livestreaming will create hit shows and celebrities that resemble those in traditional broadcasting. It already has. Twitch.tv, a site where you can broadcast yourself playing videogames live, has 1.5 million broadcasters, many of whom have audiences so big that they get sponsors and do it for a living.
But the other 99 percent—the long tail of users—are streaming to a tiny handful of people (a median of two, according to one study). Those tiny groups aren�t an economic powerhouse. They aren�t celebrities. They�re something more consequential: a cultural shift. They�re creating a new form of socializing, using Twitch to hang out and shoot the breeze, across state lines or even time zones, with videogames as the glue. Even the folks who made all this software didn�t see it coming. "It�s an emergent behavior," Twitch VP of marketing Matthew DiPietro says.
You can see similarly unexpected small-group behavior on Meerkat. "We had one woman teaching a workout, and as people typed questions she�d alter her workout," Meerkat community director Ryan Cooley says. "The people watching the show are basically cocreating it." Houston programmer Adam Wulf streamed himself for two weeks while coding an iPad game. On average, only 10 people were watching at any given time. But, Wulf says, knowing they were there improved his work. While "talking aloud" through a problem, he�d hit on a cool new solution, and the pressure to perform made him more decisive. "People were watching, so I wanted to get it done—I got better at cutting out features and paring it down," he says.
These are audiences so small that they redefine niche. It�s not something of interest to a small number of people—it�s an uncountable number of somethings of interest to an infinite number of people, mundane in the aggregate but individually compelling. Not one fridge—but all of them.

Don't miss out on the latest CyclingTips updates.
Already bored with your custom-painted Silca SuperPista Ultimate floor pump? Looking for something a little higher-tech now that you're fully educated on the potential marginal gains of dialing in your tire pressure? Well, good news: Enve has heeded your call.
The new Air Pressure Station is a wall-mounted electric pump, complete with a digital pressure display, automatic cutoff for up to three presets, claimed accuracy within 0.5psi, and ultra-clever NFC (near-field communication) wireless tags that you can apply to your favorite wheels (Enves, natch) so the device automatically knows what tires you're inflating. There's even a separate NFC tag that'll help direct your smartphone to Enve's latest tire pressure recommendations, as well as a handy "tubeless override function" that'll allow you to inflate tires past that preset point to help seat tubeless tires.
The unit comes complete with a 15ft coiled hose, a Hirame-like presta-only locking chuck, and a sturdy-looking plate for mounting the Air Pressure Station to the wall of your fully finished workshop.
What's not included, however, is the air compressor needed to actually increase tire pressure, nor the hoses required to connect the two together. As such, the Air Pressure Station seems like something that would super, super cool to have, but at US$750, the value proposition is a bit, uh, lacking.
In fairness to Enve, the company isn't exactly pitching this as a must-have item.
"It is a super cool thing to have on the wall, or in your Sprinter, or in the shop fit room/bike set-up area," said Enve VP of product and consumer experience Jake Pantone. "This is a tool for education and starting a conversation around having the right tire pressure at the retailer level, not something we expect everyone to run out and buy. At the consumer level, it's a luxury inflation item for the home workshop or your #vanlife. We just want people to start thinking about tire pressure differently, and to start taking it more seriously. Where these units will primarily land are bike shops, demo operations, and service courses."
That said, if you still feel like you need one of these at home, Enve won't say no.

This week, the "Masters in Business" podcast features Part 2 of an interview with Bill Gross, formerly of Pimco, now with Janus Capital; (See part 1 here.)
Gross sat down with me in the Bloomberg studios in New York for an extensive two-hour interview. In part II, we discuss the Allianz takeover of Pimco, why he is a tough boss to wrk for. He said he was fired by Pimco, and was blindsided by the coup.
We also talk QE and the Fed, what they did right and wrong, and what he wants to do at Janus. He also said quite a few surprising things about the Federal Reserve.

I saw Billy Graham once. It was in the 90's at the Georgia Dome. I don't remember the exact year.
Mr. Graham was conducting a Crusade in Atlanta and I attended on one of the nights her was there. By the time I arrived there were already tens of thousands of people in the stadium.
I don't remember the sermon, I'm sure it included a message of God's Love, Forgiveness and Redemption.
What I remember most about the day was the sea of humanity that had gathered. Black, white, straight, gay, saved, lost, sinners all, the stadium was filled with those who were there looking for something in their life to help them. Billy Graham provide that.
And when the altar call was issued, thousands upon thousands of people made their way to the front of the stage where Mr. Graham stood, inviting them to accept Jesus as their Savior. It was a beautiful moment that lasted for what seemed like an eternity, that moment in that stadium was one of the most powerful I have ever witnessed.
The sounds of a thousand member choir and the rich baritone of George Beverly Shea singing "Just As I Am" remains with me today.
Billy Graham has now died. He entered the gates of heaven and will now live in eternity at the hand of our Lord.
Without a doubt, when Mr. Graham passed, the first words he heard were "well done my good and faithful servant, well done."

While you may want to use clay in your garden, it's important to note that this resource is not ideal for growing plants. However, when it's your only option, there are steps you can take to improve the condition of your clay soil. Take a look below to find out how to turn clay into growing soil.
1. Get your soil tested.
- It's important to know what you're starting with, so make sure to get your soil tested right away. You can do this by simply purchasing a soil testing kit. Just follow the directions that are listed and then ship off that sample to the state lab. Once you do this, you'll get detailed information on what exactly you'll have to do to improve your soil.
2. Make the correct changes to your soil.
- Typically, the best way to improve your soil is by buying some kind of fertilizer. When you purchase a bag of it, you'll see that a ratio is listed on there telling you the relative amounts of NPK found it it. Of course, N stands for Nitrogen, while P represents phosphorus and K means potassium. If you're an organic gardener, we recommend sticking to organic fertilizer in your garden, in addition to compost.
3. Add secondary macronutrients to your soil.
- When you receive the results from your soil test, you may see that your clay soil is lacking in nutrients like calcium, sulfur and magnesium. If this is the case, you'll need to address the problem and make the necessary changes. For starters, to alter the level of sulfur in your soil, head to your local nursery. There, you'll be able to buy the tools needed to make this type of modification. As far as calcium goes, to increase the amount of this element in your soil just crush up some eggshells and scatter the pieces around your plants. Lastly, to improve the magnesium in your soil create a mixture that contains 1 tablespoon of Epsom salts and 1 quart of warm water. Blend these ingredients together well and then spray the concoction over your plants. In time, you'll see that this mixture will help your plants blossom faster than ever.

Jenn Thornhill Verma is a writer, artist and Newfoundlander descended from fishers, with a book about the disintegration of the Canadian cod fishery coming out this fall. She painted the cover illustration for Cod Collapse: The Rise and Fall of Newfoundland's Saltwater Cowboys.
Her works at Santini Gallery in Ottawa, where she is based, are reminiscent of where she grew up, the gallery says, her way of handling "the torment of a suffering east coast heart too far removed from the Atlantic Ocean."
The gallery identifies her works as "landscapes featuring outport and coastal communities in all their perfectly imperfect glory — clapboard saltbox houses, hand-made wooden dories and skiffs, crooked wharves and docks, fishing stages and sheds, stunted trees and, of course, rocks, lots of them." (If you're not familiar with Canadian geographic nicknames, Newfoundland is affectionately known as "The Rock.")
Jenn Thornhill Verma has a background in radio and works in the non-profit health sector. She holds a Master of Science in Medicine, a Bachelor of Journalism/Biology, and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Nonfiction. She has written about her fishing roots in such magazines as Maisonneuve, Downhome, Saltscapes, Newfoundland Quarterly, Explore and The Telegram (St. John's).

Tour Sant Pau's Art Nouveau Treasures
A full scripted multimedia tour in English, French, Spanish and Catalan has been created by Imagineear for the enclosure of the former Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, a world-famous UNESCO Heritage Site in Barcelona.
Purpose built as a hospital complex between 1902 and 1930, the series of Catalan Art Nouveau buildings on the site are of artistic and heritage importance. The hospital's origins date back to 1401, when six small mediaeval hospitals in the Raval area, the old town next to La Rambla were merged. The hospital moved to the new site in 1916 and continued to function until 2009, when it was closed for restoration, to reopen as a museum and cultural centre in 2014.
"Every building has its own self-contained history that provides a wealth of rich and immersive content for Imagineear to include in the tour creation," said Vasileios Karageorgos, Imagineear's Design Director, following his extensive site visit to Sant Pau. "The 20th Century Modernista design for the hospital was as much a social project for patients' holistic wellbeing as it was functional. The art and architecture include spectacular ceramics, and beauty and light was incorporated as givens."
"Our tour weaves in and out of these extraordinary buildings, into the outdoor space and even the tunnels in between, built to keep patients dry during transfers. Our MPti™ device screens perform exceptionally well in these circumstances, where visitors move from interiors into the clear Mediterranean sunlight."

Adam Neely tackled the concept of playing the "unperformable rhythm" in one of his videos. This rhythm is a quaver off-beat crotchet triplet figure that gets its difficulty from the fact that it does not reinforce any common pulse subdivisions and must be approached with a full knowledge of how the triplet interacts with the native beats and pulses of the bar. The effect of this "impossible" rhythm is somewhat strange and unique, which is what this piece, Diabolical Demands, is all about!
Diabolical Demands takes the difficulty of the off-beat triplets and takes it to the next level with all kinds of diabolical quartal harmonies and driving rhythms that make the piece build into an exciting and irresistible climax! If you want to perform something that is technically difficult and unique to the rest of your repertoire, this is definitely the piece for you! Have fun!

A question I received: What do you mean by saying that sex is the root of all our desires? What does Kabbalah have to say about everything that's going on today surrounding sex, like pornography, prostitution, and so on?
My Answer: In Soviet times, there was a popular slogan that stated, "There's no sex here!" It was meant to poke fun at people, because all pleasures are based on sex – that's how nature has made us.
The reason for this is that in the spiritual world, sex represents a union of opposite desires with a mutual intention of pleasing one another. It's when the soul receives for the sake of pleasing the Light, and the Light fulfills or pleases the soul. This union is called Zivug de Hakaa, an explosive union, where by means of an explosion the soul nullifies its egoistic use of egoism, and instead uses it to bestow or mate (Zivug). It does this to enable the birth of a new Partzuf – an act of fulfilling the Creator and uniting with Him. The way to tell whether an action is correct or not is to check whether a new Partzuf was born.
In relation to this, it's written that after the destruction of the Temple, Kabbalists were the only people who could still enjoy sex. Why? It's because they always develop greater desires as well as greater pleasures, but they do so in order to rise above them, that is, to receive for the sake of bestowal. There are many articles by different Kabbalists on this subject.
And I'll tell you one more thing: Even on the lowest spiritual degree, a person is fulfilled billions times more than by anything he can experience in this world…
2 Comments
dear Rav,
how can an kabbalist (or a person) recognise, that a new Parzuf is born and that an action was correct?
thank you for bringing "the real tradition" back for the goodness of the confused masses. Now… 1) being not familiar with hebrew vocabulary how would you explain the top question to a layman ?
2) What would be –"The way to tell whether an action is correct or not is to check whether a new Partzuf was born" -explained in practical terms familiar to anyone so we can use or practice ?
3) At the same time and very important if you can give me your oppinion about this… : I understand sex is the most powerfull energy a human has, and it has to be used wisely to advance spiritually ; if you are married, is correct to have sexual union (…erotic but not lustful) with your partener without reaching orgasm, in order to transmute that powerful energy for spiritual purpose and advancement ?
I thank you very much for your gidance.

Just like every jackass who dresses up as Captain Jack Sparrow for Halloween, we now have Johnny Depp to blame for the hundreds of copycats who'll inevitable be trying to "convert" lesbians now that Johnny Depp is engaged to his Rum Diary co-star Amber Heard. Regarding her possible lesbianism, Heard "came out" at a GLAAD event in 2010, when she was in a relationship with photographer Tasya Van Ree, though she later said that she didn't want to "be categorized as a lesbian." And now she's reportedly engaged to Johnny Depp. My takeaway from this is that you are not, nor will you ever be Johnny Depp.
Los Angeles (AFP) – Hollywood actor Johnny Depp and the actress Amber Heard are engaged to be married, People magazine reported.
"They couldn't be happier to be engaged and excited to share the rest of their lives together. Amber has really taken well to the kids and really enjoys spending time with them," the People report said, citing an unnamed source.
Representatives for Depp, 50, and Heard, 27, did not immediately confirm the report.
Depp, a veteran whose diverse career includes "Edward Scissorhands," and the recent "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, was previously in a 14-year relationship with French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis. They have two children and were not married, ending their relationship in 2012. [Yahoo]
With as many trinkets and baubles and accessories as Johnny Depp wears, he probably isn't a giant departure from dating a woman. Think of him as Nicotine gum for transitioning lesbians. Here he is with the chick from Four Non-Blondes, and they're wearing almost the same outfit:
Here's the deal, if you show up to an event, and the lead singer of Four Non-Blondes is there and you're wearing almost the same outfit, that's a clear sign that you should cut down on the accessories.

Aubergines (Solanum Melongena), also known as brinjal, or eggplant, are part of the nightshade family. While they are often called 'aubergine' as a result of the dark purple color of the most common varieties, they come in many other shapes and colours too. Aubergines can also be white, striped, or green!
They are typically cooked and treated as a vegetable despite their 'fruit' status and are used in many savory Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes.
How to Grow Aubergines
You can either grow your aubergines from seed or buy seedlings. If you are buying young seedlings from a garden center, do not be tempted by the ones with flowers on, as these will result in a lower yield at harvest. Choose compact and densely leaved starter plants for the best shot at a bountiful harvest.
If starting from seed, aubergines will need a warm base to germinate in. Germinate in damp paper in a warm environment, such as by a radiator or in an airing cupboard. Once shoots have appeared, transfer them into a propagator or into peat pots and place indoors on a hot and sunny windowsill. If you don't have somewhere that received enough warmth from the sun, you may need a heated propagator.
If you don't have a heated propagator but are in a cooler climate, consider growing aubergines in a greenhouse or a cold frame. If you don't have any of these available and want to plant them directly outside, it is vital to wait until the soil temperature is hot enough. You'll need the soil to reach somewhere in the range of 70-90 degrees Fahrenheit (21-32 degrees Celsius) before it is safe to put the plants in the soil. Cool temperatures will seriously damage young seedlings, so take a cautious approach as to when it is time to plant out into the garden.
Planting Your Aubergines
If growing outdoors, choose a raised bed or container and use black plastic as a covering on the soil you are using to help to heat it up. Consider covering young seedlings with glass or clear plastic to help trap heat and protect them from the elements until the sun is sufficiently and consistently hot enough to provide the conditions the plants need to thrive. This doesn't need to be expensive – for example, you can cut a 2L bottle in half and use each half to cover a seedling.
Always plant out your aubergines in full sun, in a warm spot where the soil temperature will build and retain heat and ensure the plants are well protected from strong winds. Fertilize the soil in your container or raised bed about a week in advance of planting to a depth of around six inches. Use organic material, such as manure or frass. Ideally, soil pH should be between 5.8 – 6.5 for best results and be of an easily drained, sandy base. Use liquid fertiliser and compost as needed to maintain high-quality soil.
If planting in raised beds, the young plants should be planted around 2.5 ft apart to give them sufficient room to grow, in rows that are between three and four feet apart.
Caring For Your Aubergine Plants
As soon as the aubergine plants are established and growing, train them up a stake, planted alongside them, to offer support, as they will collapse with the weight of the fruit without one. Once the plants are around 12″ tall, snip the tips from the main stem to help ensure clean, upright growth.
Once they are established, take care not to overwater, as they prefer dryer conditions than many plants. As they grow, they will produce a clutch of pale pink or white flowers. Shortly after pollination, the aubergine fruit will begin to appear, At this stage, water the plants more regularly to help ensure a good harvest. If you are living in dry conditions, water thoroughly once or twice a week, but give the soil time to dry out between waterings.
Consider mulching your aubergine plants to help retain moisture without soaking them. While they prefer a dryer soil, the leaves and fruits like high humidity, so either gently mist the leaves daily in the morning or evening. Alternatively, you could set out buckets of water between the plants to encourage more humid conditions.
Once the fruit has appeared, use a calcium nitrate fertiliser alongside the plants, but avoid applying it directly to the roots. Repeat the process after a fortnight to ensure maximum growth of your harvest. Towards the end of the growing season, start pinching new flowers off the plant to help focus growth on your existing fruits and to speed up the ripening process.
Aubergine plants can also be grown in pots, which, in a cooler climate, can help accelerate the necessary heat that is needed in the soil and maintain it in less consistent conditions. Choose a dark-coloured pot (it'll retain heat better), with a capacity of at least five gallons.
Harvesting Aubergines
Once the eggplants are ready to be harvested (around 70- 80 days after planting out and 100-120 days from germination), look for shiny, well-rounded fruit with plump, smooth skin. Fruit needs to be cut, rather than pulled off the plant. Cut close to the stem, leaving about an inch of growth.
Harvest at least once or twice a week, until all the fruits are gone.
While most people treat aubergine as an annual and simply dig over at the end of the growing season, if you live in a sunnier, drier climate, you may wish to try growing aubergines as a perennial. If so, cut the stalks right back, mulch the ground well, and ensure that they are covered over with gardeners' fleece or plastic if there is even the slightest risk of frost.
Storing and Using Your Aubergine
Once harvested, aubergines may be kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Depending on the variety, you can use aubergine for cooking a wide variety of dishes. One popular one is baba ganoush, an eggplant puree made with tahini and olive oil. This is a lovely dip for a sharing plate.
Additionally, the larger varieties work well simply washed, sliced, and grilled on the barbeque. They also form a key component in Greek moussaka or Italian eggplant parmigiana. Smaller varieties of aubergine may be cooked whole in curries, stews, and casseroles.
They may also be sliced and frozen, or preserved in herbed olive oil for a delicious and very Italian appetizer.
While some people believe that aubergine needs to be brined or covered with a layer of salt before cooking, to remove any residual acidity, others believe they are just as tasty without. Experiment for yourself and see which you prefer!
Aubergine Varieties
You might only find one or two different varieties in the supermarket, but once you start growing your own, you'll find you have many more options available to you. Some of the more popular aubergines that you may wish to add to your garden include:
- Globe – these are typical American eggplants. Popular varieties include: 'Black Beauty,' 'Black Magic,' 'Early Bird' and 'Purple Rain.'
- Graffiti – this is a Sicilian variant, characterized by a deep red and white haphazardly-striped skin.
- Japanese and Chinese – these look like purple zucchini in size and are perfect for stir-fries as they have flesh that is more tender and less dense than other aubergines. Look for 'Ichiban,' 'Pingtung Long' or 'Little Fingers' varieties.
- Indian – Also known as brinjal, these are a tiny variety, and are much rounder than typical eggplant. They taste much less sweet than their bigger counterparts.
- Thai – small and green, these have a very different texture to typical eggplant. These are denser in texture, making them good for holding their shape in slow cooking recipes. They can have a bitterness to them and we recommend removing the seeds.
- Italian – these are very similar in appearance to Globe eggplants, but grow smaller and have a sweeter-tasting flesh.
- White – These grow to about the same size as Italian aubergines, but as the name suggests, the skin and flesh of these is a pale, creamy white.
- Green Apple – as the name suggests, these are rounder than regular aubergines and have a more dense-textured flesh.
- Fairy Tale – these are tiny little tender aubergines, often striped in shades of pink, purple and white. These are best cooked and eaten whole.
- Rosa Bianca – another multicolored variety, plump, round and striped pink and white, these aubergines are very mild in taste.
Aubergine Pests
Aubergines are generally pretty resilient, but they may suffer from the following infestations or issues. Identify the problem and treat accordingly, organically, where possible.
- Colorado potato beetle
- Flea beetles
- Leafhoppers
- Tomato hornworms
- Lace bugs
- Red spider mite
- Whitefly
- Aphids
- Root knot nematodes
- Powdery mildew
If flowers form, but fruit does not follow, or fruit remains stunted in size, it is likely a result of too cold a temperature. Check soil temperature and the growing position, as a cold wind can chill even the sunniest spot.
Your Questions Answered
Is Growing Aubergines Difficult?
Aubergine growing isn't always easy, but the good news is that once they are established, they are relatively easy to care for. Just make sure you give the plants plenty of care and attention while they are young and choose a good spot because they are particular about their growing conditions.
How Long Does it Take to Grow Aubergines?
Your aubergine plant will take between 100-120 days to grow to maturity from seed, or around 70-90 days if grown from a young seedling. Aubergines are a warm-weather crop, and cannot be planted out until after the last frost has passed. They can be started from seed in pots indoors, around 8 weeks before the estimated end of the frosts for the year.
What Companion Plants Should I Put With My Aubergines?
Aubergine plants are great grown with other nightshades, such as peppers (capsicum), chilli or tomatoes, as they all prefer very similar conditions. Otherwise, they can be grown alongside spinach and potatoes to help reduce any potential pest issues.

Cycling clubs have a reputation as being competitive, unwelcoming and sometimes a bit scary – but that needn't be the case. Joining a club provides instant access to routes, riding skills and maintenance advice passed down from more experienced riders as well as a wide social network of people to eat cake with between rides.
With growing numbers of women getting in the saddle, thanks to initiatives like Breeze and Cycletta, a high proportion of cycling clubs now have specific women's rides as part of their schedules. For many women, this is enough, and female membership is on the rise. However, for a growing number of us the idea of joining a women's cycling club is far more inviting.
If you are about to head out on your first group ride, check out our quick guide to hand signals and calls.
Most women's cycling clubs follow a similar model to traditional unisex clubs – a Saturday or Sunday ride, with one or two weekly jaunts too. Like unisex clubs, structures, leanings and attitudes vary greatly – some groups put a focus on fun, social rides whilst others promote racing and host specific training events.
Though a women's only cycling club isn't for everyone – being a part of a female cycling network has its benefits.

I only got a couple of hundred words today because I'm desperately working on writing some training materials for a presentation on Monday. I'm taking a bit of extra effort on the materials because I hope to recycle them on my web site and with other clients, but it's proving an enormous time and energy drain. And the irony is that it's on using WordPress.
I have made a ton of notes for scenes I want to write and I've committed to being at the Itty-bitty Buzz coffeehouse from 9 – 11 a.m. on Sunday in case any of the other NaNoWriMo participants in the area want to meet. So I'm planning on making Sunday a NaNoWriMo catch-up marathon day. (Although, I think my husband would appreciate my getting to the litter boxes more often.)
I'm thinking I should have my character want to get back together with her significant other, but I'm not certain I want her to be that weak. On the other hand, I've seen far to many people, male and female, be strong in other areas of their life and incredibly stupid in their relationships. And this is definitely a character that craves consistency in her home life. People talk about characters taking over, but this one seems to be waiting to be told what to do.
Well, I'm too tired to write on either the technical material or the novel, so I'm curling up with Ngaio Marsh and tackling the keyboards early tomorrow. Brrr! There's going to be a hard frost tonight. I'm glad I made up a box in the shed for MaoMao (the neighbor's cat who sleeps in our shed and begs food from us — and yes, I have sucker written on my forehead).

British and American drug-busting authorities claim to have smashed one of the most bizarre money-laundering services ever operated for Colombian cocaine cartels: a circle of ultra-religious Hassidic Jews in New York.
The ring is said to be one of the biggest to be 'cleaning' profits amassed by the Colombian coke barons, with the strange twist that it is run by a group from the Jewish community that acts as moral and spiritual guardian of the Orthodox faith.
This is not the first time the Hassidim have been exposed as involved in the big-time drug trade. Last year, the trial ended of a circle run by Sean Erez, a Hassidic who oversaw a massive ecstasy smuggling operation, drawing recruits from the young Orthodox community.
In that case, the drug was smuggled in boxes worn either under traditional Hassidic hats or next to the heart, intended to contain prayer scrolls, or else packed into white athletic socks.
The latest case was unveiled in papers prepared by Manhattan district attorney James Comey, beginning with the arrival from Madrid of suspect Avraham Zaltzman at Heathrow Airport in April.
Zaltzman, under surveillance by the FBI, was stopped by British Customs agents after a tip-off, and found to have $460,000 concealed in his vest. He and another Hassidic orthodox, Aaron Bornstein, were arrested last week, but sources at the Manhattan District Attorney's office told The Observer that a ringleader is still being sought and that the case may go far wider and deeper than the $1.7 billion Zaltzman and Bornstein are accused of laundering.
A warrant is out for the arrest of a third man, Akiva Apter, who remains a fugitive and who sources say might prove to be one of the most important 'cleaners' of drug profits in America.
The money so far traced was laundered after a series of secret meetings between Zaltzman, Bornstein and two other men with leaders of the Colombian cartels, in midtown Manhattan, Miami and Madrid - the latter two being traditional ports of entry for Colombian cocaine into the US and Europe respectively.
According to the DA's papers, the suspects were brazen in their depositing of money: up to $500,000 would be banked in cash at a time. Zaltzman is said to have bragged on wiretaps that he could 'pick up money anywhere and wire it anywhere', according to an FBI affidavit.
To the outside world, Zaltzman is a part-time printer and Bornstein an interior designer in the strictly religious and observant orthodox community of Borough Park, Brooklyn. Zaltzman spends half his year in Israel.
But their pious working life was blown open when investigators recruited one of the ring, who spoke both Yiddish and Spanish, as an informant. The mole recorded hundreds of hours during more than 400 telephone conversations with his partners.
The mole often travelled to Miami, where he would organise the movement of money from drug sales back to Colombia through apparently legal channels.
At their arraignment last week, both men were supported by a small crowd of Hassidim in the public gallery. The audience declined to talk about their friends and co-religionists.
Zaltzman was jailed pending a bail hearing and asked the court for a prayer shawl and book while behind bars. Zaltzman and Bornstein have yet to file their pleas.
The ecstasy smuggling case last year, along with other Hassidic involvements in the drug trade, sent shock waves through the orthodox community, which this case will echo.
Erez, a Canadian-Israeli with US residence, recruited young Hassidim to smuggle what they were initially told were diamonds from Amsterdam. Hundreds of thousands of pills and grams of pure MDMA (the active ingredient in ecstasy) were brought in. Arrests of dealers from California to Houston were sourced back to the Hassidic ring. During any single week between 1998 and 1999, Erez had three couriers crossing the Atlantic between New York and the Netherlands.
Sometimes, the evidence had a tragicomic edge. Wiretaps showed smugglers reluctant to take flights on the Sabbath and one of Erez's agents was picked up in Montreal with a suitcase full of ecstasy because she had refused to take the bus to New York on a Saturday.

I've been to Hong Kong a grand total of four times, but this was the first time I went there with my high school barkada. What I loved about this particular trip was the pace—easy, breezy, cruisin'.
Because A, C and I have been to Hong Kong before, we didn't have to squeeze in all the usual touristy stuff into our itinerary. We were three girls on a mission: we were there to 1) eat, 2) drink, 3) shop, 4) conquer The Abyss (A and me), and 5) see pandas.
Unfortunately, the pandas were too busy sleeping to welcome us properly. But they were still so impossibly cute that it was worth the visit to Ocean Park, where I discovered that A and I were both adrenaline junkies. We both took on the very thrilling Hair Raiser, a roller coaster that suspended us high above the South China Sea, hurtled and looped us around with our legs in the air. It was a different way of "seeing" Hong Kong :D
The highlight of the day, however, was The Abyss, Ocean Park's 20-storey turbo drop that had me screaming like a hyena EVEN before the big drop:
We went on this ride TWICE. I almost chickened out the first time as I've never even dared to try the one in EK—a baby compared to this one. But since I listed down bungee jumping on my 30-before-30 list, I told myself this was a test run. I'm so glad I did it because the adrenaline high after the drop was just so F*CKING INCREDIBLE!!! It was like we were drugged…we were laughing like crazy—C probably thought we were hysterical—and even when the second time wasn't quite as nerve-wracking, we proceeded to scream as loud as the first round. Haha. I am so going back to Ocean Park for this.
It was a good thing we got the drinking part of our itinerary over and done with on our first night there when we met up with B and M at Lan Kwai Fong. We terrorized two places: a cool club called Eivissa (where it was raining men) and one of those sky deck places I forgot the name of because Eivissa's bartender kept dishing one round after another of complimentary shots, all on top of our Vodka Cranberries.
Somehow, one thing led to another, I reportedly had "abandonment" issues, and when I woke up, I found myself wondering how I ended up wearing this mask, which I don't remember who/where I got (or stole?) it from.
Ah, alcoholic bliss. Always the best when you're with your girlfriends. :D
The rest of the trip was a blur of sightseeing, hopping from one MTR train to another, shopping, more shopping, and—what I enjoyed the most—food crawling. I not once did not like any of the food we tried on our four-day stay in sin city—had my fill of steaming hot xiao long bao, noodle soup, egg tarts, fork-tender blackened prime rib (aaaahhh), Nha Trang's deliriously good Vietnamese treats…sigh. It was sheer food heaven.
Our last day was the highlight—we went to Mario Batali's restaurant, Lupa, where we had the best lunch ever.
Our Hong Kong trip ended with us walking around Central a wee bit tipsy as we decided to share one last bottle of really good white wine. Not bad for our first barkada trip out of the country! :)

To summarize the strategy of spiritual warfare on behalf of the dropout believer:
1. Note or observe the behavior or works (fruit) of the flesh (Gal 5:19-21) in the dropout believer.
2. Pray for discernment by the Holy Spirit to reveal the strongholds.
3. Bind the strongman (Matt 18:18).
4. Loose the power of the Holy Spirit.
Some comments on this strategy:
1. The works (fruit) of the flesh are the obvious, visible patterns in one's life—the anger, the resentment, the substance abuse and so on. They are the visible manifestations or "servants" of the spiritual strongholds that rule one's life.
Get Spirit-filled content delivered right to your inbox! Click here to subscribe to our newsletter.
2. Only God knows the heart of a man. We may see a pattern of anger in a person, and God reveals that it is due to the stronghold of pride. We may observe a pattern of anger in another person, and God shows a completely different stronghold—perhaps the spirit of antichrist (unbelief). It is important to recognize that only God can reveal the spiritual source of the problem.
3. Jesus' declaration of our authority to tread on serpents and scorpions (Luke 10:19) and bind and render inoperative demon spirits must become a reality to us. We do have authority over all the power of the enemy. We exercise this authority in prayer.
4. When darkness is bound and cast out in a person, it is important that the empty spiritual place it leaves is filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The story of the return of more demons to torment a person who is cleansed (Matt 12:43) is a pattern we must guard against. Our part in this is to ask that the corresponding spirit of the kingdom of God be released and to declare the truth of the Word concerning the dropout believer. For example, if a stronghold of pride is bound, then we ask for a spirit of humility and submission.
Action Tip: Continue the prayer process on behalf of the two or three people in your sphere of influence who are dropout believers whom the Lord has shown you to engage with.

We are open - safety is our top priority!
Teeth gradually accumulate stains over time. They can be caused by foods and beverages, smoking and even dental hygiene habits. Eventually, many people end up with a yellow or discolored smile that undermines their self-esteem. If this describes you, a teeth bleaching dentist can solve your problem with convenient, quick and affordable in-office teeth whitening.
Restoring Your Smile Through Professional Teeth Whitening
In-office dental whitening is also called chair-side whitening, teeth bleaching or power bleaching. The procedure is performed by your dentist under strictly controlled conditions to ensure both your safety and your comfort. A highly concentrated whitening gel is used to produce immediate and intense results. Teeth whitening works best if your stains are caused by external factors such as food or tobacco consumption. Discolored areas caused by tooth decay or prescription drugs won't respond to teeth whitening gels; neither will restoration materials such as veneers and crowns. Before your dentist performs a whitening treatment, he or she will carefully evaluate your teeth to determine the best course of action for restoring your smile.
At-Home Teeth Whitening Options
Teeth whitening at home allows you to restore your beaming smile in the privacy of your own space. Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth and create custom-fitted teeth whitening trays. You'll fill them with a professional-grade gel provided by your dentist and wear them for about one hour per day for two weeks. At-home teeth whitening can lighten your teeth by up to six shades. Call our office today to explore your options.
Teeth Whitening Cost Factors
Teeth bleaching cost may be different for each patient. The type of bleaching system used, the number of sessions required and the necessary alteration of restoration materials can all play a part. To determine the cost of your teeth whitening treatment, call us to schedule a consultation today.
Types of DIY Teeth Whitening Products
Several types of teeth whitening products are available over the counter including dental whitening trays, strips, toothpastes and brush-on gels. While they may provide limited results, professional treatment is more reliable and powerful. Supervision by your dentist ensures that you don't accidentally harm your teeth or gums or end up with unwanted surprises like an uneven or multicolored smile.
Steps of a Teeth Whitening Procedure
Before your teeth whitening treatment, your dentist will perform a careful examination, and clean your teeth to remove plaque if needed. He or she may also take photos of your teeth to document your progress. If you're having an in-office treatment, your dentist will insert a cheek retractor and apply a liquid protectant to your gums before applying the bleaching gel. Several coats of gel may be needed to achieve the best results. Some chairside systems also use a special light to intensify the effects of the bleach. If you're using an at-home system, your dentist will give you specific instructions to follow.
Our dentists want you to love your smile. We'll work with you to find the ideal whitening treatment for your lifestyle and budget. If you're ready to learn more about teeth whitening in East Peoria, contact us today.

Christian Renaud, Chief Architect of Networked Virtual Environments for the Cisco Technology Center will be launching a new virtual worlds tracking organization called the Metaverse Market Index (MMI) at Virtual Worlds Fall next week.
MMI will be established as a not-for-profit organization that will define and track metrics across multiple virtual worlds.
The problem is simple; there is little or no reliable and comparable data about user engagement and economic activity in virtual worlds, which makes it difficult for businesses to select the worlds in which they should invest their time and money.
MMI is founded by Nick Wilson of Metaversed.com and Robert Bloomfield of Cornell University, and will team with advisors and sponsors from industry and academia to construct a database of statistics on each platform's user activity, economy, and technology. MMI is hoping that their work will foster informed investment in online worlds, "while also allowing developers to identify opportunities for rapid convergence toward common technologies that will allow portability across platforms."
Data gathering will focus on three main areas: User Engagement will measure key indicators of how successfully businesses can reach customers and business partners, Economy will be a set of measures intended to capture economic activity in each world, and Technology will be focused on developing a list of key technological attributes of virtual worlds with an eye towards allowing developers to identify standards and interoperability opportunities.
MMI first step is to incorporate and work with advisors towards identifying key statistics. January 2008 will see tools development based on the initial key statistical areas, followed later by publication of the standards and data gathering.
It's an interesting setup, and an inclusive way of building a solid foundation of usable data for businesses currently dealing with/ in virtual worlds, of those looking to do so. The setup is not unlike the Motion Picture Association of America, in that the enabling body is virtual world and corporate agnostic and in theory will undertake its activities for the good of all involved. I'll be watching with interest the data they start publishing next year.

text: The Basilica of Kapama is located in the village of Zipari. It dates back to sometime between the two earthquakes of 469 and 554 AD that marked the island of Kos. It has three naves, an arch in the east and an ante nave in the west while the baptistery is situated in the centre of the southern side. The mosaic floors have mainly geometrical shapes which are sometimes surrounded by birds, fish and beetles.

The long-range lease deal to turn the TWA Flight Center at John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) into a hotel complex has been approved by the Port Authority's Board of Commissioners, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Thursday afternoon.
The project calls for a 75-year lease agreement with Flight Center Hotel LLC, a partnership of MCR Development and JetBlue Airways Corporation, to remake the TWA Flight Center and its nearly six-acre site into JFK's only on-airport hotel.
"This administration has committed to modernizing New York's airports for the 21st century by creating gateways worthy of New York City and ensuring travelers have the services they need,'' Cuomo said. "At the TWA Flight Center, we are able to meet those goals while also preserving its iconic design for passengers to enjoy for decades to come."
Astonishingly, JFK is one of the few U.S. airports that does not have an on-airport hotel. This $265 million project, which is expected to break ground in 2016, will create 3,700 jobs — including approximately 2,500 union construction and restoration jobs — and is expected to open for use in 2018.
This new hotel will include 505 hotel rooms, 40,000 square feet of meeting space, restaurants, a spa and a 10,000-square-foot observation deck. The complex will also feature two six-story hotel towers and a micro-grid energy management system, allowing the building to generate its own power.
The hotel complex will pay homage to the airport's golden jet age era by preserving the curving 1960's-era stark white concourse with plush-red lounge area, designed by legendary architect Eero Saarinen.
"We are proud to help advance Governor Cuomo's plan to modernize our region's aviation infrastructure by bringing the TWA Flight Center, the most storied symbol of the Jet Age, back to life," said Tyler Morse, MCR Development CEO. "Accessible to the general public as well as all airlines from all terminals, the 505-room hotel at the rehabilitated TWA Flight Center will be a tremendous amenity for the entire JFK International Airport. Thank you to Governor Cuomo and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for this incredible opportunity to celebrate and preserve Eero Saarinen's historic masterpiece while also creating 3,700 construction and permanent jobs and 40,000 square feet of desperately-needed onsite meeting space."

- Understanding the Purpose of Training
Training is a method of changing your dog's behavior. If used properly, your BigLeash Remote Trainer will you be able to train more effectively so you begin to shape your dog's behaviors and gain better control of your dog in and outside your home.
Your remote trainer can be used to train your dog in two ways:
- To respond appropriately to action commands such as "Come", "Sit", "Stay", "Heel" and "Down".
- To eliminate inappropriate behaviors such as chasing, jumping, digging and excessive barking.
- Understanding Your Dog's Response to the Training Signal
- Using Remote Trainers to send electronic signals (stimulation, vibration or audible tone) has been a safe and effective part of dog training for over forty years. All dogs respond differently when they feel or hear the signal. Some dogs may demonstrate little, if any, reaction, while others may yelp or jump back. If you dog 'yelps' when receiving an electronic stimulation, the training level is set too high.
- Set the training level just to the point of mild discomfort (like a quick tug on a leash) to get the dogs attention without creating anxiety. Anxiety will make it more difficult for him to learn.
- It is important to remember that your dog will not automatically understand what to do when he receives a training signal from the remote trainer. For training to be effective, you must understand how to use the remote trainer appropriately.
We recommend using the lowest effective correction level.
- Dog Personalities and Traits
- Keep in mind that dog personalities and traits differ among and within breeds.
- It is important to understand your dog's unique personality.
- A gregarious dog or a dog who is easily distracted may take longer to train. Understanding your dog will make the training easier for both of you!
- Creating The Right Environment
Attitude and consistency are important!
- Keep the training "light". Use lots of praise. Keep the dog's spirits high.
- Use high a happy voice for praise. Use a low, stern voice for negative commands. Use calm, soothing tones to keep eager, energetic dogs focused; and enthusiastic praise to keep quiet dogs engaged in the activity.
- In the early stages, limit the training session to 15-20 minutes. Include periods of free play and praise to keep your dog enthusiastic and happy.
- Consistency and Timing
Consistency is critical for successful training.
- Timing of the training signal is also critical. The signal must occur at the time of the behavior. If the behavior is not occurring when the training signal is sent, the dog will not associate the signal with the behavior.
If you want your dog to stop digging in the yard, the training signal must occur while the dog is digging, not later when you find the hole.
For more specific training suggestions, please refer to your **Owner's Guide.

Potential penalties include:
- Jail time
- Community services
- Fines
- Probation
- License suspension
- Mandatory ignition interlock device installed in your car
In Florida, driving with a BAC of .08% or more is grounds for a DUI charge. Depending on the situation, you could be charged with either a misdemeanor or a felony.

CAFC in WesternGeco: After Halo, the objective reasonableness of the accused infringer's positions can still be relevant for the district court to consider when exercising its discretion.
The CAFC on the Supreme Court in Halo:
But, the Court held, "[t]he principal problem with
Seagate's two-part test is that it requires a finding of
objective recklessness in every case before district courts
may award enhanced damages." Id. In particular, the
Court rejected Seagate's strict requirement that a patentee
prove the objective unreasonableness of an infringer's
defenses. Id.; see WBIP, LLC v. Kohler Co., No. 15-1038,
2016 WL 3902668, at *15 (Fed. Cir. July 19, 2016) (under
Halo, "[p]roof of an objectively reasonable litigationinspired
defense to infringement is no longer a defense to
willful infringement"). At the same time, Halo did not
disturb the substantive standard for the second prong of
Seagate, subjective willfulness. Rather, Halo emphasized
that subjective willfulness alone—i.e., proof that the
defendant acted despite a risk of infringement that was
"'either known or so obvious that it should have been
known to the accused infringer,'" Halo, 136 S. Ct. at 1930
(quoting Seagate, 497 F.3d at 1371)—can support an
award of enhanced damages. "The subjective willfulness
of a patent infringer, intentional or knowing, may warrant
enhanced damages, without regard to whether his
infringement was objectively reckless." Id. at 1933; see
also id. at 1930 (describing the second prong of Seagate as
an evaluation of the infringer's "subjective knowledge").
Additionally, the Court stressed throughout Halo
that, if willfulness is established, the question of enhanced
damages must be left to the district court's discretion.
So too, Halo stressed that "[a]wards of enhanced
damages . . . are not to be meted out in a typical infringement
case, but are instead designed as a 'punitive' or
'vindictive' sanction for egregious infringement behavior."
Id. at 1932. "[N]one of this is to say that enhanced damages
must follow a finding of egregious misconduct. As
with any exercise of discretion, courts should continue to
take into account the particular circumstances of each
case in deciding whether to award damages, and in what
amount. Section 284 permits district courts to exercise
their discretion in a manner free from the inelastic constraints
of the Seagate test." Id. at 1933–34. On remand
from the Supreme Court, our court recently reconsidered
enhanced damages in the case of Halo itself and, in returning
the issue to the district court, emphasized the
district court's discretion. Halo Elecs., Inc. v. Pulse Elecs.,
Inc., No. 13-1472, 2016 WL 4151239, at *10 (Fed. Cir.
Aug. 5, 2016).
After Halo, the objective reasonableness of the accused
infringer's positions can still be relevant for the
district court to consider when exercising its discretion.
Halo looked to Octane Fitness for the relevant standard.
Halo, quoting Octane Fitness, held that there is "'no
precise rule or formula'" to determine whether enhanced
damages should be awarded and that district courts
should generally "'exercise[] [their discretion] in light of
the considerations' underlying the grant of that discretion."
Halo, 136 S. Ct. at 1932 (quoting Octane Fitness,
134 S. Ct. at 1756). Octane Fitness in turn held that, in
determining whether to award attorney's fees under
§ 285, a district court should "consider[] the totality of the
circumstances." Octane Fitness, 134 S. Ct. at 1756. In
that connection Octane Fitness relied on "the comparable
context of the Copyright Act," id., noting that "[i]n Fogerty
v. Fantasy, Inc., for example, [the Court] explained that in
determining whether to award fees under a similar provision
in the Copyright Act, district courts could consider a
'nonexclusive' list of 'factors,' including 'frivolousness,
motivation, objective unreasonableness (both in the factual
and legal components of the case) and the need in particular
circumstances to advance considerations of compensation
and deterrence,'" id. at 1756 n.6 (emphasis added and
internal citation omitted). Thus, objective reasonableness
is one of the relevant factors.
As to the WesternGeco case:
Here, in granting ION's motion for JMOL of no willful
infringement, the district court found that WesternGeco
had not proved that ION's defenses to infringement were
objectively unreasonable and consequently concluded that
the first, objective prong of the Seagate test had not been
met. WesternGeco I, 953 F. Supp. 2d at 751. As Halo has
rejected the Seagate rule that a patentee's failure to
establish the objective recklessness of the defendant's
infringement precludes a finding of willfulness, we must
vacate the district court's determination of no willful
infringement by ION.
Judge Wallach dissented in part:
I join the majority's opinion to the extent it applies
the Supreme Court's decision in Halo on the issue of
enhanced damages for willful infringement under 35
U.S.C. § 284 (2012). See Halo Elecs. Inc. v. Pulse Elecs.,
Inc., 136 S. Ct. 1923 (2016). However, for the reasons
articulated in my original dissent, see WesternGeco L.L.C.
v. ION Geophysical Corp. (WesternGeco II), 791 F.3d 1340,
1354–64 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (Wallach, J., dissenting-in-part),
I dissent-in-part from today's panel opinion, which
reinstates our earlier opinion "in all other respects." Maj.
Op. at 2.
The majority misunderstands the import of its prior
holding, stating that my original dissent-in-part was from
the panel's "holding that WesternGeco was not entitled to
lost profits resulting from foreign uses of its patented
invention." Id. at 4. It is of course uncontroversial that
patentees are not entitled to lost profits resulting from
foreign uses of a patented invention. See Brown v.
Duchesne, 60 U.S. (19 How.) 183, 195–96 (1856) ("[T]he
use of [the invention] outside of the jurisdiction of the
United States is not an infringement of his rights, and he
has no claim to any compensation for the profit or
advantage the party may derive from it.").
Judge Wallach stated:
The key issue left unaddressed in the now-reinstated
opinion's analysis is: When a patent holder successfully
demonstrates both patent infringement under United
States law and foreign lost profits, what degree of
connection must exist between the two before the foreign
activity may be used to measure the plaintiff's damages?
Footnote 1 observes:
According to the majority, "the issue of lost profits
is not properly before [this court]," Maj. Op. at 5 n.1,
because "[t]he scope of the Supreme Court's [grant
certiorari, vacate, and remand ('GVR')] order was limited
to the second question [presented]," i.e., "'[w]hether the
Court should hold this Petition for Halo and Stryker
[Corp. v. Zimmer, Inc., 136 S. Ct. 356 (2015) (mem.)],'" Id.
(quoting Petition for Writ of Certiorari, WesternGeco LLC
v. ION Geophysical Corp., No. 2015-1085, 2016 WL
792196, at *1 (U.S. Feb. 26, 2016)). However, the
majority reads the Supreme Court's GVR Order too
narrowly. First, although the Supreme Court did not
grant certiorari on the question of foreign lost profits in
Halo, "a denial of certiorari has no precedential value."
Cty. of Sonoma v. Isbell, 439 U.S. 996, 996 (1978).
Second, the Order does not limit this court's review to a
specific issue or question presented, as many GVR orders
do. See, e.g., Herrmann v. Rogers, 358 U.S. 332, 332
(1959) (limiting the appellate court's review on remand to
a finite issue of Idaho property law).
Judge Wallach mentions creative lawyers:
In reinstating its earlier decision, the majority
expresses no concern for the consequences that may result
from that decision. Creative lawyers, for example, may
seek to insulate their clients from infringement liability
by structuring market transactions so as to distance the
infringer from the foreign activities, seeking to mirror the
present case in which ION sells the device in question "to
its customers, who perform surveys" on the high seas "on
behalf of oil companies." WesternGeco II, 791 F.3d at
1343. When done for liability-avoidance reasons, such a
change in form can increase costs without altering the
underlying economic substance of the transaction.
Of evidentiary standards, Judge Wallach wrote:
The importance of such complex factual issues to the
damages calculation explains why discretion is afforded to
district courts and juries in arriving at an appropriate
damages figure. See AstraZeneca AB v. Apotex Corp., 782
F.3d 1324, 1333 (Fed. Cir. 2015) ("The amount of damages
awarded to a patentee . . . is . . . reviewed for clear error,
while the methodology underlying the court's damages
computation is reviewed for abuse of discretion."
(emphases added)); Lucent Techs., Inc. v. Gateway, Inc.,
580 F.3d 1301, 1310 (Fed. Cir. 2009) ("We review the
jury's determination of the amount of damages, an issue
of fact, for substantial evidence." (emphasis added)). An
unduly rigid rule barring the district court from
considering foreign lost profits even when those lost
profits bear a sufficient relationship to domestic
infringement improperly cabins this discretion,
encourages market inefficiency, and threatens to deprive
plaintiffs of deserved compensation in appropriate cases.
Accordingly, I again respectfully dissent-in-part.

I Have Endometriosis Can I Get Pregnant?
Endometriosis is a condition that can cause serious damage to the lining of the uterus. Women with endometriosis have decreased fertility because the embryo often cannot implant itself in the lining of the uterus due to scar tissue and inflammation left behind by endometriosis. It is important to deal with endometriosis before attempting to conceive. If you have endometriosis and are trying to conceive, you can do many things naturally to help improve your situation. I would recommend learning more about the EndoWise Fertility Kit.
Do Fibroids Increase The Risk Of Miscarriage?
Fibroids can cause many issues during pregnancy depending on their type, location and size. Most doctors will recommend removing a large fibroids (over 5 cm) before getting pregnant. When a fibroid is large enough, it becomes vascularized and begins to draw blood away from the uterus to fuel its own growth.
This process takes blood away from a developing embryo, increasing the risk of losing the pregnancy. A small fibroid may not be a problem, but it can increase in size during pregnancy.
Make sure to talk to your doctor about your specific situation. Your doctor will be able to recommend the best course of action for your case.
If the fibroid should be removed, the Uterien Artery Embolization (UAE) procedure is used to cut off the blood supply to the fibroid causing it to shrink. This type of procedure is most likely recommended to women who want to get pregnant.
Can Fibroids Be Treated Naturally?
Yes, they can in most cases. Each woman is different, so talk to a health care practitioner that can help you. The cause of uterine fibroids is unknown. However, their growth has been linked to high estrogen levels.
Natural therapies like herbal remedies support the body in eliminating excess estrogen to help shrink fibroids and maintain a healthy uterine ling environment.
Other therapies include doing self-fertility massage with castor oil packs to help soften the tissues and stimulate normal blood flow within the uterus. You can find more information on these natural therapies for supporting a healthy uterus like, UterineWise Kit.
I Am Over 45, Can I Still Get Pregnant?
Most women over 45 have poor egg quality and may suffer from hormonal imbalance, called perimenopause. If you are over 45, you can still get pregnant, but it will be harder because you have less time available. If you are 45 and want to get pregnant, talk to your doctor about having fertility testing done up ASAP to know if you can conceive.
If you still have periods and are ovulating, you can improve the quality of your eggs and get pregnant naturally. The problem with advanced maternal age is that nobody knows when your body is naturally scheduled to go into menopause.
If you are scheduled by your genetic make-up to reach menopause at 50-52, you still have 5-7 years of fertility. If your mother went into menopause early, changes are that you will too. So you may have only a few years of fertility left.
If you are 40-45 and are still ovulating, my advice is to use Ovacue Fertility Monitor to increase your chances of conceiving. Ovacue is very accurate and easy to use.
It is ideal for every woman who wants to get pregnant fast, but especially for women over 40 because their changes of conception are less each month. In my opinion, Ovacue takes the guess work away from TTC and gives you piece of mind that you are doing all you can to conceive each month without wasting any time.
My Tubes Are Blocked, What Can I Do?
If you have blocked fallopian tubes, you may need IVF treatments, but before you go there, you can try to unblock your fallopian tubes naturally. Many women have had successful results using natural methods to unblock their fallopian tubes. Of course, each case is different and the cause of why your fallopian tubes are blocked can also change the outcome.
If your tubes are blocked due to fluid build-up, called hydrosalpinx, you have higher chances of unblocking them with natural means. If you have severe endometriosis and a lot of scar tissue causing blockage in your tubes, your chances of success are lower. My advice is not to give up and give natural health a try because it can really help.
Some women can unblocked their fallopian tubes naturally by using a variety of natural techniques like massage, acupuncture, herbal remedies, homeopathy, herbal tampons, enzymatic therapy and castor oil packs.
Blockage of the fallopian tubes prevents fertilization and puts you at higher risk of having a tubal or ectopic pregnancy.
If you know you have blocked fallopian tubes, do not try to conceive naturally until you know they are unblocked. Learn more about blocked fallopian tubes.
Can I Get Pregnant Naturally After Tubal Ligation?
No. In order to get pregnant after a tubal ligation surgery, you need to have a tubal ligation reversal surgery to allow conception.
Talk to your doctor about your chances of conceiving after this type of procedure.
I Have Poor Egg Quality, What Does This Mean?
It means that your eggs may not be healthy enough to be fertilized or to develop into a healthy embryo. Some remain smaller and do not mature. Egg quality generally begins to decline after 35, but poor egg quality is seen in younger women as well as in women close to menopause.
The quality of your eggs is determined by many factors, like your age, your level of toxicity, your genetic make-up, your nutrition and life style habits. For example smoking and drinking alcohol decreases egg quality. There are natural supplements that can support your body in making healthy eggs.
Learn more about the OveWise Kit. This kit will help improve your egg quality to get pregnant naturally or if you want to prepare for IVF treatments.
Does Vitex Work?
Vitex has many benefits for women who have hormonal issues, but it is not suited for all infertility cases. Vitex is often added to many fertility formulas, like FertileXX, as it helps support regular ovulation cycles.
If in doubt, ask your doctor about taking herbal remedies and never take Vitex if you are taking Clomid.
