Lipsticks are part of cosmetics many women use to improve on their outlook but may constitute a health hazard if varying concentration of heavy metals and pathogenic microorganisms are associated with their use. This study was carried out to investigate the concentration of heavy metals and bacterial load of associated microorganisms present in some lipstick samples. Ten lipstick samples from five different brands were purchased from Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria. Each sample was prepared for analysis using 12.5 mls of nitric acid, 1.00 ml of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and 2 ml of perchloric acid (HClO4) and digested electronically .The heavy metals analysis was carried out by Flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The microbial loads in each lipstick samples were determined using standard procedure. The results showed that Cobalt, Lead, Nickel, Copper and Cadmium were present in all the lipstick samples with concentrations of Cobalt ranges between 29.3 ppm to 10.8 ppm while that of Lead ranges between 56.4 ppm to 11.5 ppm and Nickel ranges between 57.7 ppm to 12.8 ppm only Copper and Cadmium being within WHO permissible limits. The samples were contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and the total aerobic bacteria counts for all samples were similar and were above WHO permissible limits. This study revealed that the use of some cosmetic product could expose the users to low concentration of toxic heavy metals and pathogenic microorganisms which constitute potential health risk.
Keywords: Lipsticks, heavy metals and pathogenic microorganisms.

A year ago, Patriots owner Robert Kraft sweetened the pot to keep offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels at the last minute, reeling him back in when it appeared he was going to be coaching the Colts.
But he's also smart enough to know teams will come calling again, perhaps teams with a stable enough organization to tempt McDaniels to leave this time.
"I care about winning Sunday. That's what really what I care about," Kraft told Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald. "Whatever happens . . . you know, we have good people. I'm actually flattered that people are after our people."
People have been for years, even though the track record of Bill Belichick assistants has been mixed at best.
But with offensive numbers popping and many people thinking that's the best path to follow to find a head coach, the law of supply and demand will likely work in McDaniels' favor (despite leaving the Colts at the altar and leaving the Broncos a bit of a mess).
He largely talked around interest from others, saying: "If that's in the cards for me, that's great. I've said that before. But again, I'm not worried about that right now."
Neither, it seems, is Kraft.


text: Additive manufacturing is growing apace in China … ALTHOUGH it is the weekend, a small factory in the Haidian district of Beijing is hard at work. Eight machines, the biggest the size of a delivery van, are busy making things. Yet the factory, owned by Beijing Longyuan Automated Fabrication System (known as AFS), appears almost deserted. This is because it is using additive-manufacturing machines, popularly known as three-dimensional (3D) printers, which run unattended day and night, seven days a week. … The printers require an occasional visit from a supervisor to top them up with the powdered materials they use as their "inks", or to remove a completed item, but apart from that they can be left on their own.

If you are interested in finding out how line boring machines work and how they are constructed, we've designed an infographic to help you understand the basics. This example explains shows the Mirage LB100 which can be used to bore diameters from 6" up to 36".
The Line Boring Machine is an essential piece of equipment for companies carrying out on-site machining services. Small machines are typically used for projects such as the refurbishment of hinges on construction vehicles. They are often in conjunction with a bore welder, which is used to add more material back to the hinge location before machining nback to the original specification.
Larger machines can be used with a variety of boring arm lengths on projects such as turbine casing refurbishment, and in the shipbuilding industry for stern tubes and rudder bores.
For a quick snapshot you can view the image below, but for a clearer and closer look we recommend you click here to download the illustration in Pdf format.
For full technical specifications of our machines we recommend you download a line boring machine buyers guide or visit the product web pages on our main website here.

A very good friend of mine is having surgery tomorrow. It's big, important surgery that will have lasting effects. If he's been aware that he was at risk and had recognised symptoms earlier he may not be in this position. What is the problem? My friend is only 41 and he has an enlarged prostate.
The surgery tomorrow takes out part of his prostate which has been blocking his urethra and cutting off the flow from the bladder. The only reason they found this was because it caused a life-threatening infection.
Looking back my friend had had trouble from this for years. We are all lead to believe that we only need to have our prostates checked over forty and I'm still yet to have a check at 44. I guess the message I have hear is to acknowledge symptoms. If you have trouble peeing, a low flow, pain or anything, get it checked regardless of your age.
One of the side effects of this surgery is that he may never ejaculate again. It's a heart breaking result but ongoing infections, a failing bladder and constant ill health is worse. The ideal solution is to recognise symptoms early and get it fixed. GO GET CHECKED!

From the Citizen:
The East African Legislative Assembly (Eala) on Tuesday called for enhanced efforts to end violence against women.
The regional parliament also urged national assemblies or parliaments of the East African Community (EAC) partner states to reinforce existing legislations on violence against women so as to put the menace to an end.
Its members suggested the setting up of parliamentary bodies charged with overseeing implementation of violence against women legislations to make them very effective.
They urged the EAC to build strong institutional frameworks which would act as a plan of action against gender violence.
In a motion read by Ms Safina Kwekwe Tsungu, an Eala member from Kenya, the legislators further urged EAC member countries to ensure that women get comprehensive and accessible health services and programmes.
They expressed deep concerns on the plight of women in refugee camps and those internally displaced by armed conflicts in their home countries, saying they were chief targets of organised violence.

We're all going on a Summer Holiday… an Employers' guide to Holiday EntitlementPosted on by Angela Rhodes
Holidays should be relaxing…for the employer as well as the employee. Here are some important tips to ensure your business doesn't suffer stress! All employees are entitled to receive paid annual leave. For Full-time workers this is a minimum of 5.6 weeks (28 days). Part-time workers are entitled pro-rata eg 22.4 days for an employee who works four days per week. To qualify for annual leave an employee needs to be classed as a worker. This means that if the individual is self-employed, they have no statutory right to paid annual leave. Here are some frequently asked questions: Public and bank holidays? There is no statutory right to paid leave on bank and public holidays, nor is there an automatic right to an enhanced pay rate for working on a bank holiday (what is paid is dependant upon the contract of employment). If you choose to give paid leave on a bank or public holidays, these days count towards the minimum holiday entitlement. However, if full time workers receive bank holidays then part-time workers are entitled pro rata, even if the bank holiday does not fall on their usual working day. There are eight permanent bank and public holidays in England and Wales (nine in Scotland and ten in Northern Ireland). Employees with casual or irregular working patterns? It is easiest to calculate their holiday entitlement from hours. They accrue holiday as 12.07% of the hours worked which is calculated by dividing the full-time entitlement ( 5.6 weeks) by the remaining time in the year (46.4 weeks). As a guide, remember holiday entitlement is just over seven minutes for each hour worked. What about term time workers? Employees who only work during school term-time will have different holiday arrangements depending on their contract of employment. As a term-time only worker works a reduced number of weeks during the year, they accrue a pro-rata entitlement to paid leave, much like a traditional part-time worker. What happens to holiday entitlement when an employee leaves? Employees must be paid for any accrued but untaken holiday entitlement when they leave a company. However, if the employee has taken more than they have accrued the employer only has the right to make a deduction for the additional days provided agreement has been sought with the employee beforehand or there is a contractual right to make such a deduction. When does annual leave begin? New employees accrue holiday leave from day 1 of their employment. The term 'holiday year' is used to describe the period in which employees are expected to take their annual leave, eg 1st January to 31st December. Starting a new job part-way through a leave year gains entitlement to leave in a proportion related to the number of months left in that leave year. Can employees opt out of taking holiday? Employees must take a minimum of 28 days during the leave year. If they have holiday entitlement over and above this amount, it is the employer's decision whether to allow holiday to be carried over to the following leave year. Employees cannot exchange any untaken statutory leave for payment. These questions illustrate why it is essential to make sure your contracts of employment are prepared specifically for your business. 'Off the shelf' documents are unlikely to give you the protection and assurances you need.

Healthy breakfast......
All the time.
There isn't a week that goes by that I don't cook something new, sometimes several times a week.
He will eat it all.
Except for this.
My breakfast.
I don't get it. What's not to like?
Put 1/4 C of Quick Oatmeal in a old pink bowl that you buy at an antique/gift shop.
Add 1 Tbsp of Milled Flaxseed and a smidgen of Cinnamon.
Add a few Nuts (I use walnuts, my fav) and 2 or 3 snipped Prunes. (You snip 'em yourself.)
Add a little more than 1/4 C of Lowfat Cottage Cheese and the same amount of Greek Yogurt.
Stir it up to make a big smoosh. Serve with a slice of Whole Wheat Toast (low cal) and a big mug of steaming Green Tea with Lemon.
Every morning.
What's not to like??
Addendum: Mr. DEDS and I both hate lamb. But that's it.

So you don't cook the oatmeal or add water? I think I'd like this - my lunch is similar but without the oatmeal and flax seed.

I am with Eva...No cottage cheese for me unless it is cooked and hidden in like a lasagna or something. The rest of it I would eat. We eat Smithfield Organi strawberry yogurt...1 cup with a whole banana cut up...plus 1/4 cup of a really good whole grain cereal that also has fruit and nuts in it mixed together. Delish!! I would like to add some flax seed to it. Where do you get it...the grocery store?

The racing team from Zingem continues to perform outstandingly well: the Vandenheede pigeons are often impossible to beat. Their level of performance has resulted in numerous provincial, zonal and national top prizes. Most of their opponents have had no answer to the Vandenheede supremacy.
Two weeks ago Team Vandenheede won the national first prize from Argenton I old birds with super class hen Fashion, and they achieved a great overall result as well. Many fanciers agreed this achievement would be hard to match. But the pigeons of Vandenheede wanted more. Last week they went on to win a 1st and 2nd club old birds and a 1st prize club yearlings from La Souterraine. The fanciers from Zingem have put in another brilliant performance indeed.
Impressive overall result from Limoges
During the race from Limoges no less than six racing birds arrived home within one minute (one old bird and five yearlings), and they all won a natioanl top result. Keep in mind this is by no means a sprint race; the pigeons had to cover almost 623km between Limoges and Zingem. The rest of the team followed in their slipstream. This is another world class performance that impressed many of their direct opponents:
Limoges 80 olds: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-9-11-15-16-17-19-22 (14/21) Prov. 1,797 olds: 7-16-19-21-28-46-62-79-97-… (preliminary top 100) Nat. 6,492 olds: 11-32-42-46-66-139-187-225-275-380-385-398-428-… (15/21) Limoges 212 YL: 1-2-3-4-5-6-8-9-10-12-13-14-15-16-18-19-21-21-26-27-28-… (31/59) Prov. 2,015 YL: 5-7-8-9-10-13-19-26-28-46-47-57-64-66-73-75-90-92-… (top 100) Nat. 6,946 YL: 11-14-15-16-17-25-38-62-74-118-119-150-169-171-196-198-231-234-… With 24 prizes per 10 overall and 28/59.
The first prize winner in the old birds race was the team's first nominated Tommeke. This long distance racing bird has won quite a few top prizes already:
- Tommeke BE13-4050283
2nd Nat. Gueret 11,894 p. '13 11th Nat. Limoges II 6,492 p. '16 (1st club 80 p.) 11th Zone A Limoges I 6,266 p. '15 25th Nat. Limoges I 15,009 p. '15 52nd Prov. Chateauroux (Gueret) 5,910 p.

Dam: Vapeur BE08-4095174
Winner of a 1st Nat. Bourges 22,499 YL in 2009.
The winning pigeon in the yearlings' race is BE15-4130233 (6th Nat. Limoges 6,946 p.), which has already won a 72nd Prov. Chateauroux (Gueret) 7,617 p. and a 291st Nat. 29,591 p. This is a racing bird with a promising future.
Top result from Argenton II
Earlier in the afternoon the team also claimed a first prize in the national race from Argenton II, both with the old birds and the yearlings. The pigeons arrived home in short succession again, and the result is an impressive overall performance:
Argenton 129 olds: 1-4-5-6-12-18-21-25-30 (9/10) Prov. 1,971 olds: 12-37-39-52-… (preliminary top 100) Zone 2,875 olds: 10-35-39-51-184-291-335-401-537 (9/10) Nat. 9,228 olds: 22-71-80-104-352-578-682-851-1211 (9/10) Argenton 226 yearlings: 1-5-6-7-8-9-10-14-25-31-32-33-42-50-… (22/29) Prov. 2,654 yearlings: 3-12-13-20-28-30-32-39-… Zone 3,794 yearlings: 4-15-17-23-34-36-38-47-181-268-270-273-… (22/29) Nat. 12,499 yearlings: 6-26-30-55-75-83-87-106-438-668-670-674-1044-… (25/29)
The winner in the old birds' race was the team's first nominated Hot Superke Freddy 1. This excellent racing hen is well on her way to winning an ace pigeon title later this season, since she is currently the fourth best old bird of Belgium over five national races. This is her palmares so far:
- Hot Superke Freddy 1 BE13-4050201
2nd Zone A2 Argenton I 4,983 p. '16 (behind loft mate Fashion) 6th Nat. Argenton I 13,629 p. '16 10th Zone A2 Argenton II 2,875 p. '16 (1st Club 129 p.) 22nd Nat. Argenton II 9,228 p. '16 158th Nat.

Blois 1,327 p. '14 62nd Nat. Gueret 9,815 p. '14 142nd Nat. Poitiers 14,094 p. '14
Sire: Super Champ BE07-4093015
8th Nat. Ace Pigeon Long Distance KBDB
An outstanding racing bird and winner of an 8th Argenton 4,526 p., 28th Nat. Cahors 7,347 p., 53rd Nat. Brive 17,456 p., 21st Gueret 4,798 p. and 31st Souillac 3,290 p. He is a son of Reginald BE05-4045295 (a grandson of stock breeder Frans 875/94) x Trimelore BE05-4045199 (granddaughter of first class breeder Jobo, Aline and Cleopatra).
Dam: Superke Freddy BE09-5110383
A direct late Pros Roosen from top breeder Topkweker Freddy BE94-4407032, who is also the sire of Den Dromer, Kastaar, Blauwe Prins, etc. Topkweker Freddy is a direct Vandenheede pigeon from Antigoon x 't Krijt. The dam of Superke Freddy is Dochter Super 36 BE08-5030472, and she comes from ten-time first prize winner Super 36 x a daughter of stock breeder Chateauroux of Pros Roosen.
The yearlings race was won by BE15-4130287 (6th Nat. Argenton II against 12,449 YL), which also won a 74th Prov. Chateauroux (Gueret) 7,617 YL and a 293rd Nat. against 29,591 pigeons earlier on.
Tough to beat
Freddy and Jacques are fanciers who compete in a high number of races, and often with a large number of pigeons. And they have every right to do so. They had basketed a total of 119 pigeons last weekend, but it takes more than that to be able to win 24 national top 100 prizes. It takes a top quality breed, excellent form and a talented group of pigeons to achieve such results. We think anyone can relate to that. Many fanciers need an entire season to win so many prizes. Keep in mind that team Vandenheede won the two old birds races from Argenton and Limoges with their first nominated. They also won a total of 77 prizes at national level (per 4), which is quite a stunning result. We highly doubt if anyone can do better than that.

The greatest way to fix damaging yelp testimonials that are hurting your company is to take away your Yelp listing from the Net totally. Organization will aid you full tasks and keep on best of items to be completed.
Undesirable news: Regrettably most of the time there is no way to take away a review straight from Yelp. When I say that leaders need to not be lost in the trenches, I'm speaking about how few enterprise executives ever get out of their personal self-image and develop as leaders. I am tempted to take a punt, but there is often that uncertainy in the back of my thoughts, what takes place if the company fails.

Every train crossing in the Town of Kenly was blocked for much of Sunday after a rail car became disabled.
The Kenly Fire Department was initially dispatched to check on the 128-car CSX freight train but found no injuries and nothing they could do.
For CSX workers it was a long hot day under the sun making repairs.
The train included a 6-axle "Whopper Hopper" car which was built in 1964 and at one time belonged to the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. It was making its last run on the way to the NC Transportation Museum in Spencer, NC when it came apart. When it broke the train lost air pressure and came to a controlled stop.
A large pin holding the coupler of the old rail car failed. CSX crews had to respond and fix the broken pin and coupler before the train could move. But that took several hours.
North and southbound trains, including Amtrak, were delayed. Kenly residents also had to take the long way home for much of Sunday until the giant "Whopper Hopper" car finally rolled on south. Photos by John Payne.

Northern Shadow PC
Northern Shadow is a cocktail of RPG and strategy, which allows you to freely explore the fantasy world from a first person perspective, as well as expand your own city-state, wage wars and establish trade and diplomatic relations with neighboring nations.
developer: Arda Gunes i Taner Tezel
Game mode: single player
game language: English
game release date for PC:
The official release date of the game for PC has not been announced yet.
Northern Shadow is a mix of the RPG and strategy game genres with a first-person view. The production has been developed by a small team of indie developers, led by the duet of Arda Gunes and Taner Tezel.
In the title we play the role of a ruler with a small nation at our side; our people recently lost a war, and now search for a new life, far away from their childhood homes. Our king, apart from governing his people, is also their greatest warrior, and often times draws a sword to solve the problems of his country with his own hands. The idea of combining RPG and strategy elements is not new; however, in most of the productions of this type one of the aspects is treated more seriously than the other. Northern Shadow is different - at its foundation the project is a cRPG, in which we explore the world from the first person perspective, complete quests and battle monsters using a slightly arcade skirmish system. The title also features a crafting mechanic, which allows us to gather resources and use them to create our own equipment.
The second aspect of the gameplay it town management. The game never really completely frees us from our responsibility to govern - we access various options by taking to our subordinates and giving them orders on special maps. We have to take care of resources and food, raise building and defensive structures and negotiate treaties and trade agreements with our neighbors. We are also in charge of the army, and it is up to us to recruit soldiers, give them the equipment they need and send them on missions or patrols.
At any point in time we can leave our city and set out on our own adventure. While our hero is absent, the town will be ruled by a deputy who will make decisions based on clues that we have previously given him. The entire world is a dynamic sandbox, where both the choices we make as a king and the actions we take as a hero, have major influence on the land.
Expectations: 9.2 / 10 calculated out of 70 players' votes.

Brazilian architect Carla Juaçaba has won the Architectural Review's (AR) Emerging Architecture award 2018
The founder of Rio de Janeiro-based practice Carla Juaçaba Studio was announced as the winner of the £10,000 prize at a ceremony held at the World Architecture Festival (WAF) in Amsterdam last night (29 November).
The judges, who included Spanish architect Ángela García de Paredes, Indian architect Gurjit Singh Matharoo and Ronald Rietveld of Dutch practice RAAAF, praised Juaçaba's 'tenacity and determination' in achieving her vision.
For the first time this year, entrants were asked to submit a portfolio of work rather than a single project, with Juaçaba entering her chapel for the Pavilion of the Holy See from this year's Venice Biennale and Casa Santa Teresa in Rio de Janiero.
Praising the continuity in Juaçaba's portfolio, which saw off competition from a 14-strong shortlist, Rietveld said: 'There is thread through all her work: the integration of structure, simplicity and balance.'
Speaking to the AJ in Amsterdam, Juaçaba described her win as 'very important', particularly as it was a difficult time to be working as an architect in Brazil, which she said was in 'terrible crisis'.
Carla juacaba from tiwtter
'Prizes are not only about the most beautiful projects but about communication,' she said. 'It's a bad time to be working in Brazil so I hope this international prize gives me new ways to work outside the country.'
Asked if Rio's dramatic topography had influenced her work, she said: 'I do think the chapel is very Brazilian, though I'm never sure exactly why. It's this relation of nature and contemplation of nature, and the continuity of the space that is very Brazilian.'
Japanese firm Yu Momoeda Architecture Office and Danish practice Johansen Skovsted Arkitekter were both highly commended in the awards, while Spanish outfit Aulets Arquitectes won the first-ever Peter Davey Award, named after the AR's former editor who died earlier this year.
The AR's Emerging Architecture awards celebrate the architectural stars of tomorrow from across the globe. Previous winners have included Shigeru Ban, Anna Heringer, Thomas Heatherwick, Jürgen Mayer H and Frida Escobedo.

In Blizzard Entertainment v. Lilith Games (Shanghai) Company, a federal court denied a motion for partial summary judgment for alleged copyright infringement involving some of the biggest names in the video game industry. The case — in which Blizzard Entertainment and Valve Software sued mobile game developers uCool and Lilith Games for allegedly infringing the copyrights in the "Defense of the Ancients" series of games (commonly known as "DotA") — demonstrates how important it is for would-be claimants to have their chain of title documents in order, lest they be "ganked" (snuck up on and defeated by an opponent) in the early stages of litigation.
There are also twists to the case: Much of the intellectual property identified in Blizzard's and Valve's complaint was based on content created by players, not by the game publishers themselves. Moreover, the relevant end-user license agreements (EULAs) did not assign the rights in those assets from the players back to the game publishers.
The lawsuit, therefore, raised an unusual question: Can game publishers sue for copyright infringement of crowdsourced content?
The Rise of DotA
The DotA games trace their origin to Blizzard's blockbuster hit, "Warcraft III" — the progenitor to the well-known massively multiplayer online game, "World of Warcraft." Warcraft III was a computer strategy game in which players controlled armies of different fantastical species aiming to dominate the fictional world of Azeroth. The game included an editing tool called the "World Editor" that enabled players to create new battle maps, settings, characters, storylines and gameplay rules. It allowed players to share these modifications with the rest of the online gaming community. Importantly, Warcraft III's EULA did not contain any provisions assigning the intellectual property rights of content created in the World Editor from the players back to Blizzard. It did prohibit players from using their creations for commercial purposes, however.
In 2002, a particularly ambitious player named "Eul" created a mod for Warcraft III called "Defense of the Ancients." The mod significantly altered the gameplay, rules, sequences and character roster of "Warcraft III," making DotA almost a new game. (As a mod, DotA required a copy of Warcraft III in order for players to play it.) Eul's mod placed a heavy emphasis on the special "hero" characters from Warcraft III in addition to including a number of new hero characters.
DotA was a huge hit in the Warcraft community, inspiring dozens of other spin-off mods created by avid fans. Building on one of these spinoffs, a different player known as "Guinsoo" released his own mod called "DotA Allstars." It included a series of new characters, spells and improvements, many of which were suggested by other players.
In 2004, Eul decided to retire from managing DotA and announced that "DotA is now open source," and that anyone who wished to release a new version of DotA may do so without his consent as long as they give him "a nod in the credits to [their] map." Soon after, Guinsoo also stepped down, leaving players "Icefrog" and "Neichus" to manage future DotA development. At this point, the game had attracted so many new fans that a forum dedicated to DotA was seeing over one million visitors every month, with a million page views every day.
Seizing on this popularity, Valve began development of its own standalone game, "DotA 2," based on DotA and DotA Allstars. Valve eventually hired Eul and Icefrog, who agreed to assign any rights they had in DotA and DotA Allstars over to Valve. Guinsoo was eventually hired by Riot Games (of "League of Legends" fame). Like Eul and Icefrog, Guinsoo assigned his rights to DotA Allstars to his new employer. Riot Games later assigned those rights to Blizzard.
After Blizzard and Valve Sue, uCool Moves to Dismiss
In September 2015, Blizzard and Valve jointly filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against California-based uCool and China-based Lilith Games. They asserted that uCool's "Heroes Charge" and Lilith's "DotA Legends" mobile games infringed on the copyrights in DotA and DotA 2. Blizzard's and Valve's amended complaint alleged various forms of infringement, but paid particular attention to the similarities between characters in the games at issue. uCool responded by moving for summary judgment against Valve, arguing that the company could not prove that it owned all of the copyrights in DotA and DotA Allstars that it needed in order to sue.
uCool's arguments focused on the DotA and DotA Allstars characters — specifically, whether Valve owned the copyrights to all of the characters it asserted against uCool and Lilith. The company contended that many of the characters allegedly copied from DotA and DotA Allstars never belonged to Eul, Guinsoo and Iceforg, but were instead created by other fans. uCool pointed to evidence that many of DotA and DotA Allstar's characters — including their appearance, abilities and backstories — were based on concepts and suggestions that fans submitted to Eul, Guinsoo and Icefrog. According to uCool, this meant the fans — not Eul, Guinsoo or Icefrog — owned the copyrights in many of the characters asserted in Valve's lawsuit. Under this theory, Valve would have needed to obtain separate assignments from each creator in order to assert the fan-created characters as part of its lawsuit.
uCool also argued that DotA and DotA Allstars were properly viewed as "collective works" — works that take others' copyrightable expression (e.g., the game characters) and combine them into a single package, like a newspaper or an encyclopedia. Under this characterization, Eul, Guinsoo and Icefrog only owned rights in the selection and arrangements of characters in DotA and DotA Allstars, respectively; they did not own the rights to the underlying characters. Again, this theory would have required Valve to obtain assignments from the characters' creators — something it did not have. The crowdsourced nature of the DotA and DotA Allstar's characters raised an important question: In assessing ownership, should a court's analysis focus on the individual characters, or the overall game? In denying uCool's motion for summary judgment, the court offered a clear answer: The focus is on the game as a whole.
Dismissal Denied
First, the court rejected uCool's argument that DotA and DotA Allstars were collective works. Referring to Section 101 of the Copyright Act, the court concluded that each version of DotA and DotA Allstars should be viewed as a unitary whole with "inseparable" and "interdependent parts." Even though characters are independently copyrightable, the court noted that the "[h]eroes do battle in teams on fictional battlefields — together. They do not stand alone in self-contained bubbles."
Second, the court rejected uCool's argument that individual fans had authored many of the characters featured in DotA and DotA Allstars, and later asserted as part of Blizzard's and Valve's lawsuit. Drawing on well-established Ninth Circuit precedent in the movie-making context, the court concluded that the "master minds" behind a work — the people who exercise creative control — are considered the work's "authors." It further noted that individual contributions, even if "extremely helpful" or separately copyrightable, do not transform the corresponding contributors into authors of the overall work.
Even if Eul, Guinsoo and Icefrog solicited and even incorporated fan feedback into DotA and DotA Allstars, the evidence showed that they ultimately decided which suggestions made it into the final games and which did not. Because they exercised creative control over the final product, Eul, Guinsoo and Icefrog were the games' authors. To interpret ownership any differently, the court concluded, would allow individual contributors to carve out ownership rights in their own contributions, rendering worthless copyright in movies, comic books and video games.
As a result of the court's decision, Valve did not need to obtain assignments from individual fan contributors. Eul's and Icefrog's assignments to Valve would be sufficient so long as they were valid — an issue that was left for the jury to decide.
Takeaways and Cautionary Tales
The court's denial of uCool's motion highlights the important but sometimes overlooked role that ownership plays in every copyright infringement lawsuit. Would-be claimants should make sure that their chain of title documents are in order to avoid a potentially devastating blow early in a litigation, especially in cases of crowdsourced, user-generated content where ownership is likely to be a contentious issue.
The case also offers a cautionary tale about the importance of EULAs. Recall that Blizzard or Valve might never have been put in this position if Warcraft III's EULA had assigned the rights in any player-created content in the World Editor back to Blizzard. It's unclear whether this was a conscious choice by Blizzard to give fans an ownership stake in the content they create — a trend we see with increasing regularity in current gaming communities. But the message remains the same: Game developers should regularly review their consumer-facing agreements to ensure they meet both the legal and business objectives of the company.
Meanwhile, the DotA dispute shows no signs of slowing down. As of this writing, Lilith has moved to dismiss Blizzard's and Valve's second amended complaint. A number of important aspects of the case remain unresolved, including whether Eul's decision to make DotA "open source" amounted to copyright abandonment — an issue that could severely limit the scope of the lawsuit — and the validity of the relevant assignments.
Although the future of this dispute remains uncertain, one thing is clear: The battle over DotA's Azeroth-inspired in-game assets will have a lasting impact on the copyright protections for crowdsourced content.

So What Was Glenn Lambdin Up To?

I understand there were flyers put inside each city councilmember's packet (their information on the next meeting's agenda items).Inviting them to attend this gathering.ReplyDelete
I know they had at least two of these meetings, and they were mostly people who owned historical homes in Sierra Madre.
Lots of people heard about the meeting, probably via flyers. I know a lady who attended one of the meetings, because she was interested in the subject.
I was also informed by an expert on the Brown Act, that this meeting in question was not a violation of the Brown Act.
So it is very strange that Glenn Lambdin would do this.
However, Glenn Lambdin is a very disturbed individual. He is mentally unbalanced and quite possibly dangerous, in my opinion.

I seem to recall he was.
Pasta, you are probably correct, Lambdin may be seriously disturbed.
I respect Joe Scalzo, however, Joe.....Glenn is hardly "brave". He is a coward who likes to bully women.
Several years ago, he wrote a post on a Marianne Williamson (well known spritual author and lecturer) website.
He had a weird obsession with Marrianne Williamson and posted "I would like to spew green vomit on your bed". Several people saw the blog, he wasn't on the council at the time.
He is one weird dude. How he ever got elected to public office is more of a mystery than the alledged Brown Act violation.

Here's What I Think and as such I feel you should all think just like me:ReplyDelete
1. If any of our City Council violated the Brown Act, then they are responsible for their actions. They are all well versed on that subject when they get elected. The Brown Act is there for a reason and no one is above the law.
2. If GL or anyone else secretly taped, then they should be responsible for those actions.
3. Church people should attend church and get right with their god and leave the rest of our little town the h e * * alone!!!!!
4. Instead church people have to sprawl all over my little city as if their god will only let them into the promised land per the amount of asphault they have laid down. That's not faith man.
5. I can disagree with your views GL, JM, JB, MM, DW, KZ and Sir Eric today and agree with you on something else tomorrow. It doesn't make me a bad person or you a bad person (though you can expect me to call you an idiot behind your back if you disagree with me because I am always right I am pretty sure).
6. I will probably like you all if we sat down and had coffee even if we disagree on this or that issue. I don't agree with everything I've ever read on Sir Eric's blog and I think he's a very sloppy fact checker -- lots of mistakes which is sad because I think you do a service with the blog and I'd like to be able to rely on it factually too.
7. That was a great squirrel picture!
8. That was quite a dramatic city council meeting!
9. This little town is a modern day Peyton Place!
10. Would any of you sit down with a dirt, or S Henderson (okay her, I might not have cofee with) or GL (hey it is kind of sweet how he puts himself out there telling all about losing his religion)? Would you help GL fix a flat? Just curious. What's the three worst things GL did as a mayor that's made you hate him for bringing this forward? Did he do anything good? I have no idea. YOu tell me.
11. So I would have coffee with you all, sometimes you're brilliant and sometimes you're idiots, I'm always right . . . What's the point of this ramble . . . a little less hate for our fellow SM neighbors when they disagree with us I suppose is the point. I'm guilty of it too, my blood's boiling over this Cong Church thing!

Yes, last council meeting was interesting. That meeting was a good example of the problems our little town has had to deal with. As far as Mr. Mosca being out of town, one can only guess that he is greasing the skids for his next job in politics, at our expense. Mr. Mosca doesn't have the nerve to run for council again, his defeat would be worse than TT's. With him deceiving so many of us during the election and all that he's put this town through both emotionally and financially, it will be fun to watch his future in politics. I know there are enough well connected people in town that will follow this career and notify the appropriate people at the right time. Picking a good politician starts at the city level, if the politician turns on their supporters at this level you know they will always let you down and can never be trusted. Regarding Lame Again, this person was real chummy with Little Joe, after the election. Fortunately, over the years, those in a position of authority know the concerns a lot of us have had regarding this person's reactions. Really liked the comments of Anonymous 11:16, I agreed with them on most items, very well put. Best regards to all.ReplyDelete

Glenn has "issues" with Zimmerman as a person and as Mayor. Said something stupid like "it happened on Kurt's watch" or some conspiracy theory hatched by the canyon dweller about Kurt.ReplyDelete
duh....didn't most of Glenn's city issues with Kurt actually preceded Kurt and most began when Glenn was on the council? Kurt is dealing with Glenn's, Dasterdly Bart Doyle mess.
At least Kurt isn't caving in to the rants of developers or star struck by developers or looking to make a "mark" on the downtown of the city.
Kurt seems level enough to follow the will of the citizens, which is a foreign concept to Glenn and those more enlightened than us common canyon folks.
If Joe is absolutely manical or completely self absorbed, he'll run again for City Council and be ousted. However, if Joe's campaign calls and ask me in a "survey" my thoughts, I'll say that I'm all for good ole Joe and then vote against him and laugh at his expense while voting.

Listen carefully to the debates.
Remember the councilmembers who kept their promises.
I'll watch the debates, I'll go to coffees and ask questions of the candidates, just like I did in the last election, when my top choice was now Mayor Pro-tem MacGillivray. She won all the debates, and honestly answered questions at her coffees. She has performed exceptional on the council, listens to the people and keeps her promises.
Whoever MaryAnn endorses will get my vote.
I might add these candidates will also win the election.

I can't wait for Jon Stewart to get a hold of Joe Mosca when he climbs his way to DC. Won't that be fun to watach. And, you know it will happen, just the way it did to Sarah.ReplyDelete
Well, before we all get our knickers in a twist, let's just hold on a minute. The Brown Act prohibits a meeting of a majority of a board (as defined by the statute, including City Council) to meet to hear, deliberate, discuss, etc. any action or item that is within the subject matter of the jurisdiction. So protection of historic buildings is certain within that element. However, does this tape, CD or whatever media Glenn Lambden chooses to call it, depict the three council members hearing, deliberating or discussing the subject matter. It sounds like it does not, if the description of the sequence of events is accurate. And of course, attendance at a public gathering is not a violation if the members of the body do not discuss the issue among themselves.ReplyDelete
And of course, turning this over to the City Attorney means absolutely nothing. The City Attorney is not some legal policeman for the City. She will not unilaterally review the tape, CD, video or whatever other media Glenn Lambden chooses to call it and report about whether it constitutes a violation of the Brown Act, nor will she report at a public meeting whether this is a Brown Act violation. The City Attorney is the City Council's attorney and will not just voluntarily run around enforcing the law according to what any given citizen thinks is important. So forget about the City Attorney coming back with one comment or another.
As far as getting an invitation to all City Council members, does everybody understand the term, Set Up?
And enough with the histrionics and drama at the City Council meetings. Give me a break.
- AnonymousMarch 14, 2009 at 7:18 AM
Set up? Perhaps. This needs to be found out.ReplyDelete
This type of treachery will discourage elected officials from attending anything.
What in the hell is going on?
If Glenn Lambdin thinks this will endear him to the community, he is delusional.
This is the guy who filed a bogus law suit against Kurt Zimmerman and Kevin Dunn for the wording on the ballot for Measure V. Despite Lambdin's claims of victory in that lawsuit, he is lying. I was in the courtroom that morning. Lambdin has a lot in common with Susan Henderson.....they both are liars.

Now this sounds like someone who knows him. Talks like a woman and says were in trouble. Only someone who really knows him would say that, maybe she is trying to warn us, maybe she knows how close he is to going postal, The question is, is she worried for him or us with what he will try to do. She might be literally trying to warn us to stop, after all, it does look like he's pulled all his hair out.
roia 12:57 has given some good information and has brought some calm to the whole performance for me, thank you. Anonymous 7:16 said,Lock your doors, don't touch the mailboxes, hide your cars and your women. Might be good advice, good thing is Glen practices hand to hand combat, he could even be an instructor. So what that mean is if he lays a hand on anyone he will be going to jail, that could be worse than washing down the side walk. Question, didn't GL have a son that accosted one of our senior citizens a few years ago, wonder why that never hit the paper? Did this act get a PD response I wonder. On a positive note, we are so lucky in this town, think about it, a family has kept the Worlds Largest Blossoming Plant alive and well for all the world to see, we all thank you so very much. A good day to all.

My work is a collection of narratives. Each one is the unfolding of the story of a person or thing. Several pieces are made up of objects that tell the story of their owners, giving clues to their lifestyles and experiences. I am interested in the story behind the things and people that I come across on a daily basis. For instance, what was housed in the drawers of the dresser I found in a thrift shop? Who drank from the milk bottle I now use as a vase? If I see a discarded toy on the street, I wonder what events led up to its abandonment. The way in which all of the represented objects and people are linked is left ambiguous, so that the viewer can create their own narrative. The more abstracted pieces are close-ups of objects. These pieces document the wearing away or fraying of something, telling many stories over several years, possibly portraying a wall that has been painted over many times, causing it to flake, or a shirt that has been worn to the point of disrepair.

Weekly random thoughts. Since I'm self-employed it's my version of water cooler talk: no one to talk to so it goes out to cyberspace.
If the floor was the ceiling and the ceiling was the floor I would be magic.
"God helps those that help themselves." um, hello.
How different is a groove thang from a groove thing?
Did they try playing hockey on water first?
If dogs and cats danced together would they hold each other or dance separately?
Men and women should switch places. That way we can play with boobs all day.
If an apple a day keeps the doctor away does a banana have any effect on a psychologist?
"'Vague, but exciting,' Berners-Lee's supervisor wrote on the cover of a proposal while greenlighting the project." That would be the World Wide Web. Now that's funny.
I want a robot to talk to customer service, then translate back to me.
From now on I'm getting my news from the toilet-it's always the same old sh*t.

Piccalilli Newsletter - Issue #6
Piccalilli Issue #6
Welcome to the 6th edition of Piccalilli!
This issue features Nintendo nostalgia, chameleons, hyper-realistic still life and 3D glasses. Let's get stuck in!
If you're enjoying reading this newsletter as much as I'm enjoying creating it, please share it with your pals. It'll be really appreciated if you do.
CSS Utility permalink
Create a responsive grid layout with no media queries, using CSS Grid
Embracing the flexible nature of the web gives us powerful, resilient front-ends—where instead of using specific sizes, we give elements sensible boundaries and let them auto-fill where possible. I embrace this mentality as much as possible and roll utilities out like this one for grid layouts.
Fancy permalink
Kota - Agency Site
⚠ Motion warning ⚠
A very bold design with a smart brush typeface. There's some great detail with the hover states and the mouse tracking that creates some tasteful depth of field.
The hamburger menu is very nice too, even though I'm not a fan of that design pattern in general.
CSS Starfox
⚠Motion warning ⚠
I found this and thought to myself: "this must have some JavaScript", but nope, it's all CSS.
Stunning work by Yusuke Nakaya.
Gwendolyn Weston's Site
This site proves that you can do a lot with not much CSS. I'm in awe of the layout, colour and typography.
You know it's good because the folks at YupGup made it.
Animation permalink
Colour Changing Chameleon
⚠ Motion warning ⚠
Cassie is at it again with this adorable animation that is powered by your web cam. The chameleon's colour changes based on what the most prominent colour of your current webcam frame is. The use of CSS Custom Properties to tie all the technology together is elegantly done, too.
Super, duper smart work.
Water cooler animation
⚠Motion warning ⚠
Very adorable animation by Kasper De Bruyne. The attention to detail is fantastic. I love the overall aesthetic, too.
CSS 3D Scan
⚠Motion warning ⚠
This is very clever indeed. Butter smooth animations, too. Fab again (twice in one issue) by Yusuke Nakaya.
Art permalink
Pure CSS Still Life - Water and Lemons
When I first saw this, I thought it was a photograph, but nope, it's a goddamn hyper-realistic CSS art piece.
Hats off to Ben for this amazing work.

Rangers go for home-and-home sweep of 'Canesby Dave Lozo
HURRICANES (10-23-7) at RANGERS (19-17-4)
Last 10 -- Carolina 3-5-2; New York 5-3-2
Season series -- This afternoon's game is the second half of a home-and-home series and the third meeting of the year between the teams. The Rangers have won the first two games -- both in Carolina -- by scores of 3-1 on Dec. 21 and 2-1 on Thursday.
Big story -- Carolina is by far the worst road team in the NHL, posting just two victories in 19 contests. On the flip side, the Rangers are just 8-10-2 at Madison Square Garden and have just one win in their last eight home games.
Team scope:
Hurricanes -- Thursday's loss to the Rangers was just the latest frustrating game this season for the Hurricanes, whose 27 points rank last in the League and are nine in back of the next-closest team in the overall standings. However, before Thursday's loss they earned a convincing 6-3 road victory against the Washington Capitals, one of the League's best teams.
"It's disappointing, especially coming off a big game in Washington," Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward said of Thursday's loss. "We had great puck pursuit in Washington and attacked Washington really well. We didn't have that jump for whatever reason."
Rangers -- They rebounded nicely with the win in Carolina after delivering an absolute stinker in a 6-0 loss at home to Philadelphia Flyers the previous night. Coach John Tortorella preached the importance of not letting that loss snowball into another losing streak.
"It's obvious we competed harder," he said after Thursday's win. "It was important not to lose two in a row, and I thought we answered well in all aspects of the game."
It was a nice bounce-back game for Brandon Dubinsky, who was a minus-4 against the Flyers, and Henrik Lundqvist, who allowed three goals in that game and was pulled after the first period. Dubinsky scored the winner in the third period against the Hurricanes while Lundqvist stopped 17 of 18 shots.
Who's hot -- For Carolina, Eric Staal has been red-hot in his last three games, contributing 2 goals and 6 assists over that span. … Even with that minus-4 performance against the Flyers, Dubinsky has been great lately for the Rangers. In his last five games, he has 4 goals and 2 assists and is still a plus-2.
Injury report -- Injuries have been a problem all year for the Hurricanes, who will be without left wing Erik Cole (upper body), defenseman Joe Corvo (leg), right wing Chad LaRose (lower body), left wing Sergei Samsonov (upper body) and right wing Scott Walker (upper body). … For the Rangers, second-leading scorer Vinny Prospal is out with a knee injury.
Stat pack -- Lundqvist has won four of his last five home starts against the Hurricanes, allowing only nine goals. ... Ward is 1-3-1 with a 2.54 GAA in six career road games against the Rangers. ... Carolina has lost five of six at MSG.
Puck drop -- To hear Hurricanes coach Paul Maurice tell it, he wasn't all that impressed with the Rangers' effort Thursday night in Raleigh. "I don't think the Rangers played a real tough game. There wasn't a lot of momentum to be had in the game either way. It was a slug from one end to the other."
When you're nine points out of 29th in the League, perhaps giving a team that just beat you bulletin-board material isn't the best idea.

SIDNEY —The Lehman Catholic High School Alumni Association has announced the school's 13th annual Lehman Hall of Fame Induction to be held on Saturday, Aug. 3, at the school.
Since beginning this tradition, the Hall of Fame committee has sought to honor not only alumni but outstanding faculty and supporters of Lehman Catholic. This year's inductees include one alumnus, one coach and two community leaders who have served the school in various capacities. The four distinguished individuals who will join the other 48 members of the Lehman Hall of Fame are Robert C. Arbogast (Piqua Catholic High School '43), Daniel U. Dunson, David M. McBride and Dennis W. Sollmann.
The Hall of Fame evening will begin with Mass at 5:15 p.m. in the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Chapel on campus. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres will be served at 6 p.m. with dinner to follow at 6:30 p.m. in The Pride Family Gymnasium.
The first inductee to the 2019 Hall of Fame is the late Robert C. Arbogast, Piqua Catholic High School class of 1943. Arbogast was nominated by two of his five children – Ann Arbogast and David Arbogast, both of Cincinnati. One child – Patricia – died young but the other four are graduates of Lehman Catholic (Ann '72, Steve '76, David '79, and Lynn '82).
Arbogast served as a staff sergeant in the European Theater during World War II. In 1950, he married Helen Ranson (who also graduated from Piqua Catholic in 1943) and the couple settled in their hometown of Piqua. Arbogast worked as an insurance salesman and adjuster, but was deeply involved in the community and St. Mary Church. In 1983, he was ordained as a deacon by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. He was also president of the St. Mary Parish Council and was active in the St. Vincent de Paul Society. He was a member of Knights of Columbus Council 3344 and served as chaplain and Grand Knight.
Arbogast was active in the Piqua Chamber of Commerce and served as chairman of the Piqua Area United Fund Campaign. He was instrumental in the consolidation of Piqua Catholic High School and Holy Angels High School to form Lehman in 1970, and served as president of the Lehman Board of Education. He passed away in 1996 at the age of 71.
"One of Dad's legacies is how well he connected with young people," said daughter Ann Arbogast. "He served as a role model for youth and inspired them to participate in the greater community and to faithfully commit to the Church."
The second inductee to the 2019 Hall of Fame is Daniel U. Dunson. Dunson was nominated by his daughter Megan Dunson Marshall (LCHS '89) and Shelley Nerderman VanSkiver (LCHS '86). Dunson graduated from Holy Angels Elementary but then moved to Peru, Illinois, for his high school years. He returned to Ohio to earn a Bachelor of Science in Accounting at the University of Dayton. He began his accounting career in Dayton, but relocated to Sidney to take over the family business. He owned and operated Dunson Auto Supply and Dunson Engine Rebuilders for over 30 years. He was president of the Ohio Automotive Wholesalers Association and served on the National Board of the Automotive Service Industry Association.
Dunson is a big supporter of Catholic education and he and his wife Marianne are the parents of six Lehman graduates, Mark '82, Molly '84, Katie '86, Megan '89, Matt '93, and Anne '93. A foster son, Hai Van Pham, graduated from LCHS in 1980, and the Dunsons also hosted two exchange students who graduated from Lehman.
Although they now live in Cincinnati, Dunson's past community involvement included the Shelby County United Way, Wilson Hospital Board, Wilson Hospital Foundation Board, YMCA Board, and the Chamber of Commerce. He was dedicated to Holy Angels Parish, serving as a Parish Council member, lector, Eucharistic Minister, retreat presenter, and minster to the homebound. Co-Chair of the first Lehman Catholic Capital Campaign, Dunson also was part of the Lehman Foundation Board and is considered an honorary member of the LCHS Class of 1954.
"My father is a giving and humble man with strong values for service to church, school and community," said nominator Megan Dunson Marshall. "Service and giving to others are at the core of who my father is sharing his time and treasure have always been his way of life. He believes in the enduring mission of Lehman and has significantly invested in it. His approach to life serves as a benchmark for school and community leadership."
The third inductee to the 2019 Hall of Fame is David McBride, former Lehman tennis and girls basketball coach. McBride was nominated by his daughter Kristy McBride Sherman (LCHS '90) and Matthew Smith (LCHS'87).
A graduate of the University of Dayton, McBride owned and operated several businesses as well as held positions at various companies throughout his working career. One business he owned was Norseman Communications in Minster. He currently owns the Country Closeout Barn in Anna. He and his wife Mary Beth are the parents of four LCHS graduates, Dennis '81, Doug '83, Elizabeth '87, and Kristy '90. Several grandchildren are also Lehman graduates.
McBride coached 21 seasons at Lehman Catholic from 1982-1989 including 15 seasons of boys and girls tennis, and six seasons of girls basketball. His teams won two Southwest Rivers Conference championships in boys tennis and one in girls tennis.
"Coach McBride is, of course, my father, but during the time I played basketball and tennis, he was more to me than just a dad," said nominator Kristy McBride Sherman. "He was a bus driver, a sub, a ref, a friend, a support system, a bingo worker, and pretty much anything else that Lehman needed at the time."
"What should be noted was his level of dedication and commitment to the program and to the students in the program of which I was one," said nominator Matthew Smith. "During matches, he would strategize with each of us, alternating between telling us what he was in our opponents or our play and asking us what we saw as opportunities to win. By engaging in dialogue, he allowed us to develop the strategic thinking skills needed to exploit our opponents' weaknesses vs. always relaying on him to tell us what to do. To this day, when I see him, I still call him 'Coach'."
The last inductee into the 2019 Hall of Fame is Dennis Sollmann, CFO of the Sollmann Electric Company and a current trustee of the Lehman High School Foundation. Dennis and his wife Rita are parents of three LCHS graduates, Jeramie '92, Ryan '94, and Chad '97. He was nominated by Douglas Fortkamp and Kenneth Schlater.
Although a graduate of Anna High School, Sollmann has embraced the Sidney community, Holy Angels Parish and Lehman Catholic. He founded Sollmann Electric Company in 1973 and has served the community by working on various boards and campaigns for the United Way, the YMCA, Wilson Hospital, Salvation Army, West Ohio Development Council, and the Chamber of Commerce. He is a member of the Sidney-Shelby County Economic Partnership, the American Legion and other veterans' groups, and the Knights of Columbus. His involvement at Holy Angels included Parish Council, Building Fund and the Soup Kitchen Board.
Sollmann has given many hours of service to Lehman Catholic by serving on the 21st Century Campaign, Secure the Future Campaign, Annual Fund Committee, Athletic Boosters, Development Fund, and the Foundation Board. He was also one of Lehman's representatives on the Sidney Memorial Football Stadium Steering Committee.
"I have had the pleasure of working with Denny through the Board of Limited Jurisdiction for the past four years," said Board Chair Douglas Fortkamp. "Every time that the Board has reached out for help, Denny has been one of the first volunteers to step forward. He has donated his time, his talents, and his treasure to Lehman in a way that most people cannot fathom. Lehman would not be what it is without him."

Companies that leverage a centralized database for idea submissions, invention disclosures and patent committee approvals save time and generate better inventions. Wellspring intellectual property software streamlines your invention workflow, automates vital steps, and connects data from across the organization.
Wellspring's online disclosure tool seamlessly integrates with the docketing system to save time and effort. The system provides witnessing/approval functions for invention disclosures before reporting to the docketing administrator. Plue, each entry uploaded into the system gets an automatic date/time stamp.
Simply start with an existing template disclosure or customize your own. Once, launched, researchers and engineers login using their corporate account (no new passwords!) and complete the disclosure. Wellspring enables them to upload relevant, checks for required field and logical questions, and securely transmits the disclosure to your homepage for review and can email you a note that you've got a new invention. From your Wellspring homepage, you can review the disclosure and approve it with a click of a button. The disclosure automatically becomes a full invention record in your system and notifies the researcher that you've accepted their submission.
Each user can view the status of their invention disclosures. Designated supervisory personnel also can view the status of all the inventors in their organization. The attorneys and legal support staff can view the status of an invention disclosure. Invention disclosures are searchable by a variety of parameters to include the docket number, application number(s), publication number(s), titles, keywords, inventors, etc. Furthermore, the search function i can read PDF documents stored within the invention disclosure system and return these documents as a search result.

****Spoiler Alert****
It does start with a dead body, after all, and a scramble to identify the culprit before more former superheroes can fall victim. It's the sort of story that's expected to have a surprise ending, or it hasn't done its job.
The inevitable villain reveal part of the twist is a perfectly satisfying one. It turns out that one of the ex heroes, Ozymandias (a.k.a Adrian Veidt), has a massive god complex and is trying to prevent the other heroes from interfering with his plan to unite the world and avert a nuclear apocalypse by staging an alien invasion (and killing millions of people in order to sell the act).
That much makes the twist satisfying, but not exceptional. The extra push that puts it on this list happens here:
Marge: It's an ending. That's enough.

July 11, 2017 | Canadian Borrowers Losing Ability
Home sales in Canada's largest city–Toronto–fell 37% year over year in June. Long overdue buyer exhaustion has finally been triggered after the Feds tightened mortgage insurance requirements last November and Ontario imposed a 15% tax on foreign purchasers in April. Now regulators are considering new rules requiring lenders to stress test uninsured mortgages (prompted by oversized loss risk in the sector).
In addition, on Wednesday, the Bank of Canada is expected to raise its benchmark overnight rate to .75% from .50%. In anticipation, Canada's biggest banks are also tightening. Royal Bank of Canada raised its fixed rates for 2-,3-, and 5-year term mortgages by .20%. See: Canadian home buyers losing steam, and cash.
With some 90%+ of Canada's economic growth coming from realty transactions and services the past 2 years, we doubt the BOC and banks will raise rates far before declining property prices and a weakening economy cause them to pause once more. But at this point, holding rates lower for longer is not going to repair or even meaningfully patch the financial leak. This is Canada's payback period due after a decade of reckless credit abuse.
Next up will be a necessary cleansing cycle resulting in lower shelter prices to help restore affordability once more and reset many over-leveraged participants–households and businesses–through bankruptcy, credit restructuring and write downs for lenders. It will also mean lower tax revenues for governments that have become unduly dependent on what has been the one firing economic cylinder since oil prices collapsed last in 2015. This is the downside of too little diversification and unproductive spending.

Introduction: Adaptive Equipment Non-Profit Dream Project
My dream is two-fold:
-teach others how to make affordable adapted toys and switches for kids with motor delays/impairments
-provide low or no-cost toys and switches to families, hospitals, and schools.
Lots of kids need help communicating and playing and adapted equipment is crazy expensive compared to a typical kids selection of toys. ($10 crappy singing teddy bear = $40 switched toy, simple single switch ~$60 up to $250 easily)
I'd like to create a non-profit that would run community service events at work places, schools, boy/girl scout troops or anywhere else to educate people and provide equipment for families and organizations in need of equipment.
Funding would go to making portable soldering/adapting kits, hand tools for toy dis-assembly, materials for switches and toys, and other support materials/tools to provide equipment, switch materials, and teaching materials.
Adapting toys and making has been the most satisfying work I've ever been a part of.
Two of my favorites:
--Watching my son play independently for the first time we as set him up with a switch meant my wife could do the dishes without feeling like she was ignoring him as he sat in his chair at the table- Awesome for him - Awesome for my wife too.
--Hearing about a families excitement to give their kid an adapted R2D2 for Christmas because they are all Star Wars nuts (but no one sells an adapted R2D2) was one of my favorites.
It's not difficult work, but people are a little scared to dis-assemble a toy and solder wires onto a circuit board. With a little encouragement and guidance, it is a great way for people to learn, serve, and enjoy giving their time and skills to kids who have some extra challenges in their lives.
