Props, as I've stated before, can be a great addition to a speech.
If I were to take a coffee cup, and put it on a lectern, and say, "I'm going to speak about coffee today," your eyes would look at the cup, hear my words, and wait for the next verbiage.
But if I said, "Picture you favorite coffee cup," your mind starts working and making associations with all the coffee cups you have at home and work.
Maybe your favorite is the one your little child made in ceramics class; or maybe it's the one co-workers gave you last holiday season.
In either case, what I've done with this 'prop' is to personalize it.
Thatis powerful!

A very special attorney at our firm has a birthday this upcoming week. It's a good thing we won't be infringing on someone's intellectual property when we sing him "Happy Birthday to You." Over the course of the last few years, you may have heard about this unique fight-the birthday song we all know and love was wrought with litigation. You look like a monkey and you stole my intellectual property too?
"Happy Birthday to You" also known as "Happy Birthday" was written by Patty Hill, a kindergarten principal in Louisville, Kentucky. Her sister Mildred and she used the melody of "Good Morning to All" with their new lyrics. It is believed that these sisters (who sound drink sweet tea or lemonade on the porch and bake peach cobbler lovely) wrote the lyrics around 1893. The lyrics made made their first written appearance in 1912. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Birthday_to_You
"The brief recap is that although the music and lyrics to "Good Morning" have a clear copyrightable moment in 1893, the same music coupled with the "Happy Birthday" words does not. The lawsuit notes the appearance in print in the early 1900s in various sources of alternate words, but without being authorized specifically by the Hills—who ostensibly retained copyright to "Good Morning," not the Song Stories publisher—that doesn't necessarily diminish their claim." http://boingboing.net/2015/08/07/the-twisted-history-of-the-hap.html
In July 2015, a filmmaker making a film about the history of the song claimed to have proof that the song should be public domain (instead of the company Warner/Chappell who had been claiming ownership of the song). The filmmaker explained that in 1934 a new Irving Berlin musical on Broadway called As Thousands Cheer featured a birthday scene in which "the birthday song, without the "Good Morning" verse [was performed]. As TIME reported in 1934, while the case was still ongoing, the producer of As Thousands Cheer was sued for plagiarism, to the tune of $250 in payment per performance. Though Patty Hill said that she had "long ago resigned herself to the fact that her ditty had become common property of the nation," those who had paid to use the tune in the past—like Fox, which had used it in Baby Take a Bow, a Shirley Temple film released that same year—didn't feel so easygoing about it, and neither did Hill's family." http://time.com/3976577/happy-birthday-copyright-history/.
Because this is a blog, you get the condensed version. Long story short, in 1935 the Hills decided to officially register the copyright of the birthday specific lyrics and were successful doing so. Because the Irving musical was popular, the song spread. The challenging part regarding intellectual property is that the song even early on had various versions, piano and other instrument accompaniments, verse re-writes, verse additions, and so on.https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/feb/09/happy-birthday-song-lawsuit-warner-chappell-settlement.
After 80 years, the Happy Birthday song has been freed. Before this year, Warner/Chappell was earning $2 million a year by licensing the song mostly for commercial use (not charging restaurants or birthday party attendees). "On February 8, 2016, Warner/Chappell agreed to pay a settlement of $14 million to those who had licensed the song…on June 28, 2016, the final settlement was officially granted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Birthday_to_You
I'm sure you've never used the song for commercial use or planned on it. Regardless, now you know that while singing the song, you don't have to worry about an attorney or the ghost of Patty Hill lurking over your shoulder.
At Mohr IP Law we do patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Instead of receiving a scratchy sweater from Grandma, maybe you can ask her and your other loved ones for the gift of intellectual property protection-the gift that keeps on giving. If you're lucky our team will also sing you a song.
Condensed Timeline from: http://www.latimes.com/visuals/graphics/la-me-g-happy-birthdays-history-20150923-htmlstory.html
Louisville, Ky., sisters Mildred J. and Patty Smith Hill publish the song "Good Morning To All" and assign copyright to the publisher.
The producer of the Irving Berlin musical revue "As Thousands Cheer" sue for plagiarism when the song's melody is used in a scene. The lawsuit is eventually settled.
The Clayton F. Summy Co. files for the copyright.
Marilyn Monroe sings "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to President John F. Kennedy at a celebration of his 45th birthday.
The successor to the Summy Co., the Birch Tree Group, is purchased by Warner Music for $15 million, and through that acquires the rights to "Happy Birthday."
Los Angeles Judge George H. King rules that the Summy Co. never acquired a valid copyright to the song, and that the 1935 copyright covered only specific piano arrangements of the tune.

Glory Seed Devotional's, 2017: Anticipating and Experiencing Jehovah-Jireh…
Jesus, you are my safe place
"Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28, NLT)
Jesus, you are my source of strength!
- I am weak, but my faith in your strength is strong.
- I may wonder why I become weak or why difficulties happen but I'll never wonder about the depth of your love for me.
- I rejoice in my weaknesses because through them I've come to know you.
Jesus, you are my Lifeline!
- Without you I am but a body with a heartbeat, just a little higher than an animal.
- But with you I am a valued child of God.
- Because of you Satan is jealous and seeks to take me away from you.
- But I am not afraid because I know you are my Lifeline, my connection with God the Father.
Jesus, you are my eyes!
- I need to see with spiritual eyes because I need to see into the hearts of people to see their pain, to see their weaknesses.
- I need to see the path upon which I can walk that enables me to witness to them your love, your strength, and your compassion.
Jesus, you are my hands!
- I need to see life from the cross.
- I need to look at my hands and see that they are the hands of a servant giving his life so others may live.
- I need to look at my hands and feel your pain and in some small way become apart of the Father's eternal plan.
Jesus, I need your heart!
- I need your heart so that I may center every waking breath proclaiming your life, your breath, your death and resurrection to those whose hearts are of stone.
- I need your heart because it is the center of your compassion and the center where forgiveness flows freely.
Jesus, you are my Home!
- When it's raining and cold I can come in and get warmed and dried by the heat from your heart.
- When I am hungry I can enter your dining room and feast on the best heaven.
- When sin has done it dirty work and turned me filthy-dirty I can go in your laundry room and be cleansed by your sacrificial blood.
- When I am out of breath from struggling against overwhelming odds I can walk into your chapel and feel the gentle life-giving breath of the Holy Spirt.
Jesus, I am yours!
"Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord." **
Grace and PEACE,

Summer Creek notches second district win with defeat of Dobie
PASADENA – Bryan Bush started the 2018 season on Summer Creek's junior varsity football team.
After the sophomore quarterback spent two weeks on JV, Bulldogs head coach Kenny Harrison made the decision to bring Bush up to start District 22-6A play.
Bush answered the challenge from his head coach.
"It's fast out there," said Bush on the transition from junior varsity to varsity. "I have been working hard every single day and when I get out there I do my thing. We just wanted to move the ball and get it in the end zone."
Bush went 8 of 18 for 173 yards throwing two touchdowns as the Bulldogs won their second-straight district game Saturday by defeating Pasadena Dobie 38-13 at Pasadena Veterans Memorial Stadium.

"He's a tremendous player and hats off to that young man," said Harrison, who is in his first season with the Bulldogs. Last week he made his first start and now he's 2-0. We told our team to trust the process and that's what they have all done."
The Bulldogs (2-2, 2-0) outscored the Longhorns (2-1,0-1) 21-0 in the first quarter.
The right-handed signal caller Bush threw two touchdowns in the first quarter on 9-yard TD pass to Jamison Frazier and then a 63-yard touchdown Drevion Grant.
Grant and Frazier combined for six receptions for 121 yards and two touchdowns.
Bush used his feet to score on a 34-yard touchdown run for the last score of the quarter for the Bulldogs.
Bush finished the night with 17 carries for 100 yards scoring two touchdowns for the Bulldogs.
"Just getting around there and keep on knowing my line going to block I knew I was going to get it," Bush said.
The Bulldogs' defense forced six fumbles in the game and four in the first half to give Summer Creek a 24-0 lead after a 22-yard field goal by Raul Lejarza.
"We put a lot of emphasis in the run game and to line up correctly," said Harrison. "We told our guys If we line up correctly and rally to the football we would have a chance to get some turnovers. They trust the process and came out and executed. Whenever you can get six turners in a game you're going to have a chance to win a football game."
Dobie sophomore running back Darius Hale led the Longhorns rushing attack.
Hale 19 carries for 94 yards and scored a 17-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
Bush added his second rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter to give the Bulldogs a 31-7 in the fourth quarter.
Andre Holiday scored on a 4-yard touchdown run for the Bulldogs' last point of the game.
Summer Creek will have a bye next week and will resume district play on Oct. 5 against Pasadena High School at Memorial Stadium.
"It was huge to get this win to start district 2-0," Harrison said. "We played some quality opponents to start the season. We had some growing pains to start the season, but we're 2-0 in district and have to get back to working on getting better."

Hey guys!
I finally got my dream job and am working as a Personal Trainer in Edinburgh, and I am completely over the m o o n !
This has been my goal for the last year and a half, and it has taken time, money (that I still owe people) and a lot of hard work, but it has paid off and I got to start my first shift as a member of staff at PureGym Exchange Crescent in Edinburgh.
Shoutout to any Scottish readers on here, and if you want to, come down and say hi!
Here's a quick rundown of what being a PT entails:
So, to be a staff member at Pure Gym, there are 2 options:
- You can pay a set amount of money each month and that becomes your 'rent' in a sense that you can take your clients to that particular gym and use the facilities and equipment to carry out sessions
2. You can work 15 hours for free a week for them, taking classes, inductions etc, and that is counted as the 'rent' in a way.
Being completely lacking in any funds whatsoever to even think about being freelance right now, I decided the best thing to do would be to do the classes, which, to be honest, allows me to engage with more members and therefore hopefully gain new clients.
So, being the new kid on the block, I got given the shifts that other people don't like.
The early morning ones.
Which, for me, is actually the best shift, because sack having to work midway through the day, because that means having to motivate yourself to go to work earlier than need be to get other stuff done!
My alarm clock buzzed at 4:50am this morning, and I dragged my tired ass into the lounge and tried to wake myself up with a cup of tea. To be honest I shouldn't have been so tired, I went to bed reeeeaaaallllyyyy early to prepare my body for waking up when half my friends are only just falling asleep. I ate my rice cakes, made myself presentable for seeing other human beings, and walked to work.
That woke me up.
Scotland is not the warmest of places, so the deceivingly sunny weather brought with it an icy breeze which made my teeth chatter and my body shock itself to attention.
Tuesday mornings are jam-packed with classes. I'd barely gotten through an hour of my shift when I was thrown into three classes back-to-back. A circuits class, a spin class, and an abs class. Followed by 45 minutes break where I had to do some tidying, then a weight loss induction and a legs, bums and tums class.
It's a lot to do first thing on a Tuesday morning, but damn, the shift goes by quickly!
I had so much fun.
Taking classes is so motivational- not just for the members because it comes pretty naturally to me to bound around being positive and egging other people on, but it's incredible to see 30+ people turn up at 6:45 in the morning to get their asses kicked in the gym.
I was a little sneaky in the fact that Mr OneBigStressball is now training for a triathlon, which means he had me change his fitness program. I did it in such a way that his cycling day just happens to be on a Tuesday. The day I take spin class.
So he basically has no choice but to come to my class and give me emotional support. No matter how easy or difficult the class is, it's always nice to see a handsome (he just came and wrote that on here) familiar face amongst a group of people who hate me because I'm making them do sprint intervals on their bikes.
Cycle is also one of the only classes where you're really supposed to take part in the session as well as coach it, so I knew that even if I worked myself into exhaustion- cycling is not my favourite activity- then Mr OneBigStressball would be there to catch me should the sudden event of a swooning occur.
A lady booked in for a Weight Loss Induction, during which I was left to my own devices, and I've got to say, there may be a good chance she's going to sign up and be a temporary client to train with me for the month that she's going to be in the city before moving back to India.
Not bad for a first day!
Shifts are 5 hours long, so mine finished at 11am, after which I went home and had 'lunch.' It's weird getting up so early. By the time noon has come round you've had three meals already and still feel hungry!
Weekly team meetings are at 2pm on a Tuesday, so, I trotted back into the gym a little bit beforehand to float on the gym floor and interact with members.
I'm not going to lie. Getting up at 4:50 in the morning is not easygoing. But I did it!
I squeezed in a little workout of my own after the team meeting, and I went home feeling so elated that I'd completed a day in the job I've been after for so long. And this was a day without clients! I truly believe that if I had more clients, I'd be even more pleased with myself and feel even more productive than I did today… not to mention the fact my entire working day lasted 9 hours and it was still only the middle of the afternoon!
I know I usually post on Sundays, but I feel like I'm bursting with joy, and just wanted to share my day with you!
Enjoy the rest of your day wherever you are!

Summer of Soccer 2019
With three major international tournaments going on right now, soccer fans and...
NORTH CAROLINA — Most of America has had a chance to see the ESPN documentary "Black Magic". Somehow, some of them did not see it until it aired during June.
One such person recognized me at the library and wanted to discuss certain points of the presentation. It did not take long to understand that even though they seemed to have watched it in its entirety, they missed most of the points that it made.
It was like reading some of the early reviews six months ago. While everything was great, reviewers complained about how the presentation dragged and other opinions that had nothing to do with the real quality of the documentary.
This person failed to understand the parallel between basketball and civil rights. Basketball is a sport which has nothing to do with something as important as personal liberties.
Surely Dr. King did not march so that people could play basketball. Basketball is only a game. Well, basketball, like any other aspect of life, has everything to do with civil rights.
It is beyond me how people have watched the story of the secret game or the fact that there were NO BLACKS in the NBA during the first seasons. Looking back, it is hard to comprehend why the NBA had to be prompted to draft Black players.
What has to be understood is that the NBA today, with ninety percent of its players being Black is not the NBA which ended its 1950 season with no Black players or coaches.
At the same time, we have to consider that basketball directly reflected society. In the south, Blacks were excluded from everything that whites participated in.
Basketball was no exception. There were strict rules against mingling in any form. The punishments were harsh, especially for Blacks. That is why the Secret Game was so significant. None of the players for Duke's team were from the south.
Blacks were not allowed in most mainstream schools. There was a fear that southern schools would not play schools from areas with Blacks on their teams. It did not stop there.
Neither of the two governing bodies for college basketball would accept Black colleges. While they did not ban Black players, it was understood that schools with Black players would not play them when they met southern schools.
To put this in proper perspective, the University of North Carolina would not have recruited Michael Jordan when he was born in 1963. Earl Monroe entered Winston Salem State the same year.
While he went on to average 42 points per game as a senior and led Winston Salem to a national championship, he never appeared on their recruiting list. In essence, Michael would have had to go to Winston Salem or N.C. A&T to have gone to one of the best basketball programs in North Carolina during that era.
It goes deeper than that.
While the game that is most popular today is based on a style that prevailed in Black college gyms, none of the coaches who developed that style get credit for their innovations. As Coach Jobe stated, "When white teams ran the fast break, it was genius. When we did it years ago, they called it "jungle ball."
This pointed to one of the key subjects of the documentary. Blacks were deemed to be second class citizens in society. Basketball was no exception. We saw highly skilled players, John Chaney and Cleo Hill, ignored by northern schools. The same applied to Willis Reed and Bob Love. LSU ignored Reed, who is in the Hall of Fame because he was Black.
Finally, with the coming of integration, the schools that once rejected Blacks began to pursue the very people they once disdained. It was not just that they wanted to recruit Black players.
Once white fans began to hear about what was going on at Black colleges, they began to follow the excitement. As early as the late 1950s, white began to attend games to see Tennessee State play. Dick Barnett was averaging 30 points per game and the team was averaging nearly 100 points per game over a three year span.
A few years later, whites began following Winston Salem to watch Earl Monroe. He averaged 30 and 42 points per game over his junior and senior years. They were forced to move games to the coliseum to fit the crowds they were drawing.
After several Wake Forest games were moved to host Winston Salem State, members of the ACC began to take notice.When Monroe graduated in 1967, there were less than a dozen Blacks in the ACC.
That fall, there came a sprinkling of Black players on ACC campuses. There were no Blacks on the All ACC Team at the end of the 1968 season. By the end of the 1978 season, there were no whites.
This occurred because white schools began to pursue the Monroes and Reeds of coming eras in the form of Michael Jordan and David Thompson.
All of this came about due to some of the things that are overlooked when viewing "Black Magic". Several of the athletes talked about their participation in sit-ins and marches. "Big House" Gaines often said he never permitted his players to participate in marches.
In truth, he never gave them permission, but, he never punished those who did. He did warn them against such activities. This was especially true for the bigger players because he knew they would be targeted because of their size.
It can be said that "Black Magic" has opened the doors for discussion of issues that have been ignored in America. Race is still an issue in America. It is not going away. It has given us a starting point to begin to look at things that have plagued us as a nation long enough.
An even greater contribution to our society is the airing of the pain that exist among those who were deprived of opportunities to shine. I had told the Cleo Hill story numerous times.
Most people felt it was my way of glorifying a fellow Winston Salem State grad. It was great to have him tell his story to the nation. What happened to him happened to many others.
The pain on his face spoke volumes to those with an open mind. The same applied to John Chaney. They spoke for millions of Blacks who could not play basketball or any other sport.
They spoke for those who were denied education so they could gather cotton and other crops. They spoke for all of those people who were marginalized to become cheap labor for others to get rich.
"Black Magic" was about much more than basketball.
It was about the ills of American life.

Two mothers acknowledge that their sons contributed to the brutal murder of Derrion Albert, one in tears and offering condolences. Another mother who had not yet viewed the videotape stated that her son is not "a bad kid," and "he was protecting himself."
I semi-joke w/friends that I've given myself a curfew b/c the streets ain't safe, but when even the good kids can't attend school w/o the fear of an attack, why should they go, right? Here's an update on the tragedy. (more…)

All food is perfectly paired with a drop from Four Eggs Water's carefully collated wine list. Boasting a selection of organic, preservative-free varietals from Italian and local New South Wales wine makers, this list brings you the very best of both old and new world wines. Though what may really make you smile is that the good folk at Flour Eggs Water have made beers on tap a thing of the past, and instead will offer you a glass of house red or white, which they provide on tap – mama mia!
The thread of simplicity travels through not only the food and wine, but also to the restaurants' fit-out. Diners can gather around communal tables, perfect for sharing, overlooking the impressive open kitchen which is lined with homemade pasta hanging out to dry before it is expertly prepared for your dinner.
An easy dining option that is just as smart as it is simple, Flour Eggs Water has filled the hole for casual dining in Surry Hills. This is sure to be a go-to option for pasta fanatics near and far, eager to hoe into a bowl of deliciousness closely rivaling that of the most talented of Nonnas.

Forgetfulness is a problem for many people, but how many of us would leave behind an urn of pet ashes when moving out of a property?
New research, carried out by interiors specialist Hillarys, as part of ongoing research into the habits of Britons when it comes to property maintenance, has revealed some of the most unusual items discovered by landlords across Britain after tenants have moved out of their properties, with 89% of individuals polled stating that tenants 'always' leave something unwanted behind.
The results of the survey uncovered the objects or sights that landlords have discovered, including pet ashes, a collection of Betamax cassettes and a taxidermy beaver.
Among some of the other bizarre items left behind by tenants, there were 16 iPhone 4 boxes but no handsets, a collection of 'classic car' magazines hidden behind the toilet, a cupboard full of tinned food that expired in 1994, a windowsill containing more than 50 types of cactus plants, and a jewellery box full of human nail clippings.
Overall, the research found that the majority of tenants have left unsavoury items behind after moving out, with more than half of landlords claiming that tenants had left rooms with obvious damage, and 72% stating their properties had been left in an unhygienic or dirty state, leaving 59% of the 2,843 landlords polled with no alternative but to pay for a professional clean after their tenants had moved out.
Tara Hall, spokesperson for Hillarys, said: "People are always talking about how much money landlords must make from their tenants, but they forget about the headaches and trials some tenants will put their landlords through after leaving!"

After blowing a three-goal lead and losing Dwayne Roloson for the rest of the series, the Oilers look to be...oh what's the expression...fucked.
Here's another expression: sometimes it's better to be lucky to be good, and the Hurricanes have certainly been lucky. After beating maybe the best goalie in the league in Martin Brodeur, they took advantage of major injuries on Montreal and Buffalo (Saku Koivu, Tim Connolly and pretty much all of the Sabres' top defensemen) to move on. But let's not go so far to say it was a fluke: I recall everyone picking Carolina as the favourites to go all the way post-trade deadline, when thy picked up Mark Recchi and Doug Weight. This is a stacked offensive team, and they've beat three straight hot goalies. I'll be proud to wear their colours, and willing to withstand the boos, rotten fruit and office equipment thrown my way at work.
As for Dwayne Roloson, well...while I don't wish injury on anyone, he might have had this coming. He's been flopping around, diving and drawing penalties pretty much all postseason. Some would call them the actions of a wily veteran. I call it cheating. Perhaps Roloson will curl up with an old favourite whilst on the shelf: Peter and the Wolf. When I saw him sprawled on the ice, I wasn't immediately convinced he was legitimately hurt, and that speaks volumes about his character.
So it appears the Oilers magical run is over. They upset two Cup favourites in Detroit and San Jose, and got by another Cinderella team in the Ducks, but it looks like the Canes will be too much, especially now that they're forced to go with Conklin or Markannen (comically dubbed Conkkanen by Oilers fans). They'll be back, though...they've got a great mix of youth and veterans, and will learn a lot from this experience as a group.
In other possibly more important news, the World Cup starts this week, and is about the only thing that can push the Stanley Cup Finals to the background...(if the Jays make the World Series, then we'll talk).
The four-year buildup is over...and while many things have changed, one has stayed the same: Brazil is the clear favourite. They are just a ridiculously talented squad, and even the most blind fan of any other team has to acknowledge the Brazilians as the team to beat.
I'd like to say Italy has a chance...but frankly it'll be difficult enough for the Azzurri to get out of the group stage...and once there, Brazil likely awaits them, unless they can edge out the Czechs for first in Group E, which again is no easy task. I have the Czechs making it all the way to the finals to face Brazil (and losing).
An unlikely (but pretty cool) scenario would have the Italians finishing first and defeating Croatia in the round of 16, setting up a match versus Ukraine, pitting myself and all my Italian friends against the one Ukrainian in our group. Needless to say, serious smack-talk and various Seinfeld references will be flung around like so many pizzas and perogies.
Realistically though, Italy is out in the first knockout stage. I'm picking Holland and Mexico to join Brazil and the Czechs in the final four. As for upsets, look out for the Ivory Coast, the strongest African team in the tournament.
"The Beautiful Game" brings the world together like no other event, even the Olympics. So enjoy the World Cup, whoever you happen to be cheering for.

- Tags: patent, intellectual property, trade secret, pct application, copyright, trademark
- By: John W. Boger, Esq.
Management of a company's intellectual property (IP) is all about two things: controlling the innovation produced by the Research and Development (R&D) staff and transforming these ideas in valuable assets, and coordinating the R&D innovation output with the sales and marketing strategy of the company. A company's IP is unique in that it functions not only as an asset by protecting a product's market position and price, but also as insurance against competitive legal action and market penetration. The IP can also assist in developing strategic alliances or attracting a possible merger/acquisition candidate. Achieving efficient and comprehensive portfolio management can only occur if the business and R&D sides are integrated during the IP development and implementation stages. More specifically, a strategic approach to IP portfolio management must span from the time an idea is conceived in the lab to when the product is released into the marketplace. Accomplishing this task can only occur if procedures and processes are put in place and followed by all of the medical device manufacturer's departments.
In order to manage a portfolio of intangible assets, like IP, the person in charge needs to know what should be included in the collection. IP portfolios are inclusive of all four types of IP. Patents are typically the most prominent and valuable category of IP because of their limited 20-year monopoly status that enables the inventor or owner to exclude others from making, selling or suing the claimed invention. Trademarks are the next most prominent type of IP for a company. This asset covers a company's name, its slogans, product names and colors. For certain situations, trademarks may also extend to a company's domain names. Copyrights would also be included in an IP portfolio. These assets would include written materials (brochures, teaching manuals, surgical techniques), video productions, images and graphic designs. Finally, trade secrets round out what would be included in the portfolio. Trade secrets protect information that is critical to the success of the company and would be beneficial to a competitor operating in the same market as the company. Essentially, a trade secret is information that is more valuable if it remains a secret than if it was in the public domain.
When a company is developing a comprehensive management strategy for its IP, it needs to ask several questions.
Who is in charge of managing the portfolio?
The first question is obvious: who will be in charge? A medical device company needs to be careful that they don't fall into the trap of only putting a technical person in charge. Many are of the opinion that it is a mistake to leave IP decisions in the hands of engineers and patent attorneys, because these people are too technologically focused to the detriment of the commercial benefit of the technology. When this occurs, the portfolio ends up being too heavily weighted on flashy technology ideas that have little use to the company. The appropriate person or persons should be cross-pollinated among the technology, science and business sides. Further, the company must provide that person with enough clout within the organization to be able to implement and enforce the procedures and processes necessary to manage the IP portfolio.
What is the value of your IP?
The next question to be addressed is, what are my patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets worth? The answer can be very complicated, because the valuation process for each of these types is quite involved and sometimes very subjective. Typically, for patents, are two types of evaluation: quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative evaluation provides an estimated monetary value to the patent, while a qualitative evaluation identifies its strengths and weaknesses. When a quantitative evaluation is performed, one of the following methods is usually used.
The first is the cost method, which looks at the associated costs necessary to develop and patent a similar invention. Unfortunately, there is no direct correlation between the cost of invention development and future revenue from the patent. This method is usually used for accounting purposes.
The second method is the market method, which values patents by comparing market prices that have been garnered in a recent comparable IP transaction. This is a fairly straightforward process, but is only useful in an active market and when similar patents are being exchanged between the two parties. Access to actual pricing may also be difficult to achieve, because these transactions tend to be confidential.
The third, called the income method, measures potential income that can be derived from the patent. This is a rather simple process that requires calculating the present value of the patent based exclusively on anticipated income. The drawback to the income method is the reliance upon subjective market and consumer assumptions.

"But it's there. It's just sitting there, like some big dead end."
With this now famous line, Meg Ryan lamented her inevitable 40th birthday in a scene from When Harry Met Sally.
Forty is the literal fork in the road of aging.
If you are anything like me (weak and delusional) the denial path calls to you like the chocolate in your kid's Halloween stash. As a coping mechanism, I devised an aging system to ensure I never left my 20's.
When I turned 30, I was merely 20/10 which was much more palatable to my single, childless self. Hitting 40 meant I was 20/20 and 50 became a jaunty 20/30 and so on and so on until I succumb to the lure of dentures and Depends. Others take a different route and embrace this milestone birthday with optimism and joy; sure that the best is yet to come. I'm not confident I could be friends with any of these people what with wanting to constantly throat punch that unbridled enthusiasm and all. But no matter your outlook, there are some realities of the Big 4-0 that are universal:
1). The word "Ma'am" will be a dagger, slicing what is left of your pride into pieces.
2). Leaking pee will be neither unexpected nor optional. You will cross your legs whenever necessary like you're doing the Cha-Cha Slide at a wedding.
3). Trying to get carded will be your J-O-B every time you go out to buy liquor or enter a bar.
4). Not being able to locate your favorite tweezers is a Def Con situation. Chin hair cannot win. Period.
5). Speaking of period, yours will become fickle and difficult to predict. Like a toddler but with cramps.
6). Your skin will mock you. Your search history will include "wrinkles," "adult acne," "wrinkle cream for adult acne" and "hiding the effects of Botox from friends."
7). Doing shots is no longer an option. The reasons are complicated and all sciency, taking into account the effects of gravity on aging bodies and thin blood. You know, the same way astronauts are forbidden from chugging alcohol in space.
8). And if you do spend an evening drinking, be aware that alcohol in your 40's has a dog-like quality. Each drink affects your body like you had seven and it takes you at least seven times longer to recover.#hangovermath
9). A bucket list becomes priority one. But you hem and haw over the items that put you in harm's way–say jumping out of a plane—and end up settling for a road race that serves alcohol at the finish and new bangs.
10). Size matters! Font size that is. Near vision becomes a distant memory so you sacrifice all privacy as texts and emails become billboard-sized.
11). Like living in some creepy Sci-Fi movie, you will awake one day and discover that the skin on your hands has been removed and your mother's skin left in its place. This is irreversible and emotionally scarring.
12). And since we're talking about mom, beware the onset of BYM or Becoming Your Mother. You will shake your head at people in their 20's, obsess over the skin on your neck, forget why you walked into a room and require your children's help with any post-2k technology. BYM is a degenerative condition with no known cure.
13). Doctor's appointments will increase 200% as compared to previous decades, the results of which will occupy all conversation with girlfriends and strangers alike.
14). You will find yourself constantly asking, "Why is that music so loud? I mean it is loud right, or is it just me?" It is you. You and everyone else over 40.
15). Clothes with buttons and zippers have a short life expectancy.After only a few hours in non-elasticized clothing you will count down the minutes until you can free yourself of this fabric prison and go to your happy place in yoga pants and no bra.
And there you have it. But take heart ladies, forty may be over the hill but there are legions waiting to catch you when you land–wrinkled and confused—on the other side of youth.

Panoramas can be easily created in both Lightroom and Photoshop. The process in Lightroom is simpler and much more autonomous; providing access to a few easy-to-use tools ensuring great results. Unlike Photoshop; Lightroom does not require your images be in JPG format, meaning you can create a single RAW panorama file and then perform your usual post-processing tasks.
- Step 1 - Import Images
In Lightroom navigate to the Library tab and import the images you wish to stitch together.
- Step 2 - Photo Merge
- Step 3 - Preview
A new window will open and a preview will be generated, this can take a while depending on hardware and the number of images selected. Once the preview has been generated you may notice a white uneven border around your image, this is normal and will be covered in Step 5.
NOTE If your panorama does not stitch correctly, cancel the Photo Merge and run through your images making sure the horizon stays level and in roughly the same place on each image. If on one particular image it suddenly jumps, try removing it from your selection and starting the Photo Merge again.
- Step 4 - Panorama Type
Under Select a Projection on the right you have three options:
- Spherical - renders your panorama as if it was projected onto a sphere, ideal for multirow panoramas.
- Cylindrical - renders your panorama as if it was projected onto a cylinder, ideal for super wide panoramas as it avoids excessive distortion near the edges. It also keeps vertical lines straight.
- Perspective - renders your panorama as if it was projected onto a flat surface, ideal for medium wide panoramas as it keeps both vertical and horizontal lines straight.
- Step 5 - Auto Crop
As previously mentioned, you can probably see a white uneven border running around your panorama. This is caused by the camera shifting as you capture your images and is particularly noticeable when not using a tripod. This can be immediately remedied by ticking Auto Crop which will crop out the white border but will result in loosing a portion of your image. This can be mitigated by using Boundary Warp, see the next step.
- Step 6 - Boundary Warp
Adjusting the boundary warp slider will stretch the edges of your image to cover the white space around your panorama. This can be used in conjunction with Auto Crop to achieve a middle ground between loss of image through cropping and over-stretched corners.
To increase the Boundary Warp, drag the slider towards the right-hand side. The more it is increased the more aggressively the image is stretched.
TIP Make sure Auto Crop is un-checked so you can clearly see the effect boundary warp has.
- Step 7 - Merge
When your ready, click Merge in the bottom right corner. You will then be returned to the main Lightroom window, progress of the merge can be found in the top-left corner. Once complete, your panorama will appear alongside your image selection where you can make further adjustments in the Develop tab.

Men at Work
Driving along Bay Street near the corner of Little Bay Street (a short stroll from one of the best pubs in Port Melbourne), these men were hard at work, and after parking my car to take a few pics, I heard this young fella say, "Hey look, the lady's taking our photo". With that he hopped up on the truck, stuck out one leg and posing for me gave me a winning smile. Who said only ladies are vain?
(I've had to lighten it considerably so it may be a little blurry.)

Angénieux 9-57 mm 1.6-2.2
Carl Nenzen Loven posted a topic in Cine MarketplaceI know this is probably not the right time to sell this but since I sold my Eclair this have been collecting dust. She looks a bit worn, and front element has a little nick, but last footage I saw from this still looked great. This is a R16 lens. Also included is an adapter from RAF camera to use screw in 77mm filter. (I had an anamorphic adapter on the front element before) I looked online and tried to figure out the average price and saw a lot of different prices. So it's $450 OBO really. Buyer pays shipping.
Zeiss 28-80mm T/2.9 and 70-200mm T/2.9 CZ.2 Zooms
Mark Kenfield posted a topic in Cine MarketplaceGutted to have to do this, but the doctors have ordered a downsize (for my mangled spine) and I have to move back to a smaller camera and lighter weight primes. So I'm selling my Zeiss CZ.2 Full-Frame Cinema Zooms (in PL mounts): - Zeiss 28-80mm T/2.9 CZ.2 - Zeiss 70-200mm T/2.9 CZ.2 They're gorgeous pieces of glass in excellent condition. I fell in love with the way they render faces and skintones the first time I used them. The bokeh from the 18-blade apertures is gorgeous, they're terrifically sharp wide-open, and it's almost impossible to coax chromatic aberrations out of them. They've served me beautifully on S35mm sensors, but they'll also make particularly perfect companions for Monster, Alexa LF, Venice or the C700FF (where I think the focal range really shines), or on something like the FS7 with a PL-mount Speedbooster. The lenses are located in Melbourne, Australia, but happy to ship worldwide (PM me for a shipping quote) $13,900 USD each or $27,000 USD for the pair (+GST if sold in Australia). Each lens comes in its original box, with a laser-cut foam case insert. If you're buying the pair, I'll throw in the Pelican 1550 that houses them both. Cheers, Mark Kenfield

Best MFT Zoom for new BMPCC 4K?
Filippo Giani posted a topic in Lenses & Lens AccessoriesGood afternoon everyone, I have a run & gun gig coming up in the foreseeable future for which I'd like to give the new BMPCC 4K a shot (I don't technically own one yet, but hopefully will reasonably soon). Due to the job's specific nature, I will require an extremely lightweight and portable setup. I've done similar work in the past and always suffered from having to work with primes (both in terms of weight and overall practicality), so this time I decided I'd rather stick with a single zoom for the entirety of the shoot. On a full-frame camera I would probably just opt for the Sigma 18-35 f1.8, but being the new BM Pocket M4/3, I don't think that would give me enough range to handle a broad enough variety of situations. I've done a little bit of research for suitable options and found that quite a few people seem to be praising the Olympus 12-40 f2.8 M.Zuiko PRO as a good one for video. Has anyone here had any experience with it? Or would you know of any interesting alternative covering the same/similar range (24-80 equivalent)? I've also read that a few people appear to be very happy with C-mount vintage options, such as the Angenieux 12-120mm f2/2 (amazing range and constant aperture) but it weights a ton and the whole point is to retain flexibility while shooting. Also another set of issues that I've had with vintage Angenieux in the past has included very noticeable chromatic aberrations, heavy breathing and vignetting (all things that I would want to avoid for this project). However, if you're aware of any vintage lens that might fit the bill I'd be more than open to consider it. Please let me know if you have any recommendations for me, as I could gladly use some. Wish you all a lovely rest of your day and thank you for having taken the time Best, Filippo

Museum News Releases
Longmont Museum hosts Winter Olympics Film Series
WHAT: This season, the Longmont Museum's Views and Brews celebrates the global spirit of the 2018 games through their Winter Olympics Film Series. The Museum will screen three winter sports movies about working together in the face of overwhelming odds. The series runs Thursdays nights for three weeks, and each film boasts a specially paired signature cocktail.
February 1: Miracle, (2004) rated PG. Smooth out with a "Zamboni" cocktail and slip into the inspiring story of the 1980 U.S. hockey team. Miracle follows a ragtag group of college students as they square off against the legendary juggernaut from the Soviet Union at the Olympic Games. Despite long odds, Team USA carried the pride of a nation yearning for a distraction from world events. With the world watching the team rose to occasion, prompting broadcaster Al Michaels' now famous question to the millions viewing at home: "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!"
February 8: Cool Runnings, (1993) rated PG. Leave winter behind with a rum punch and the uplifting story of four Jamaicans who dream of competing in the Winter Olympics as bobsledders. Even though they've never seen snow, these men set out to qualify and gain glory as Olympians by enlisting the help of a disgraced former champion (John Candy).
February 15: Blades of Glory (2007) rated PG-13. Sip a "Flying Lotus" cocktail and dive into this comedy about rivalry on the ice. The world's best figure skaters – improvisational Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) and germophobic, precise Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) – break into a fight on the podium and are barred from the sport for life. Three years later, desire for a gold medal and a careful reading of the rules lead them to compete as skatings' first male-male pair. Can they overcome mutual dislike, limited time to prepare, their coach's secret past, and the dirty tricks of their opponents?
During Views & Brews, the Museum is open with extended evening hours (5 - 9 pm) to stroll through the galleries at no extra cost. Purchase tickets online at www.longmontmuseum.org, by calling 303-651-8374 or at the door.
WHEN: Thursday nights, Feb. 1 - 15
6 pm: Galleries, bar, and lounge
7:15 pm: Films
WHERE: The Longmont Museum, 400 Quail Rd. in Longmont, Colorado
COST: $8 adults, $5 students/seniors, Museum members free, children age 3 and under free
The Longmont Museum is a center for culture in Northern Colorado where people of all ages explore history, experience art, and discover new ideas through dynamic programs, exhibitions, and events. Learn more at www.longmontmuseum.org.

John Brown went to Kansas to fight and he didn't like it one bit that the antislavery leadership denied him his chance. No fool, he understood the double talk in the Wakarusa peace settlement. Charles Robinson and James Lane could say they conceded nothing, but the same language permitted others to argue that they had. This made them fundamentally duplicitous in Brown's mind and he regretted thereafter that he abandoned his plan to go draw some proslavery blood on his own. Redpath, writing with a few years' hindsight, add that the treaty and the Free State party's official line
only served to postpone the inevitable conflict then rapidly approaching, and to demoralize the spirit of the Free State party. It occasioned, he thought, the death of many Northern men, whom, encouraged by this compromising action, the marauders, on their return, murdered in cold blood or in desultory warfare.
Brown may have seen it that way at the time. We can look ahead and agree with him that murders and strife came, though connecting them with the Free State party's disinclination to hazard large-scale violence would take more doing. John Brown didn't go around eating bugs and raving like the cartoon madman of popular memory, but he also lacked any formal military experience -in his earlier life he paid fines rather than take part in the militia- and seems largely uninterested in the practicalities of battle. He knew he needed weapons and where to use them. When to strike or how seem not to have troubled Brown too much.
Redpath tells that Brown didn't care to hear the odds.
'What are five to one?' said he, 'When our men would be fighting for their wives, their children, their homes, and their liberties against a party, one half of whom were mercenary vagabonds, who enlisted for a mere frolic, lured on by the whiskey and the bacon, and a large portion of the others had gone under the compulsion of opinion and proscription, because they feared being denounced as abolitionists if they refused?'
Maybe. People with something to fight for may fight harder, but that doesn't ensure victory. It also neglects how many of those men Brown thought seduced by whiskey and bacon could claim just the same motives. If Kansas fell to freedom, then it may fatally undermine slavery in Missouri. In Southern thought, that would almost certainly lead to a genocidal race war. They, as white men, expected to win that fight in the end. They also knew that in such a war, their own homes and families might not survive to the end.
