In 2006, DataTreasury obtained its electronic check clearing patents from WMR e-Pin — a company that had previously licensed its patents to Wells Fargo. The license agreement included a provision requiring arbitration of disputes.
Soon after DataTreasury obtained the patents, it sued Wells Fargo and more than fifty other major banking institutions for patent infringement. On interlocutory appeal here, is the district court’s refusal to stay litigation pending arbitration. DataTreasury argues that it is not bound by the arbitration agreement.
The case is remanded to Judge Folsom (E.D.Tex.) to resolve the dispute.
JAOI–why no eminent domain? I think I saw a monetary analysis somewhere saying this/these patent/s could cost the US treasury over 1 billion dollars.
Meaning, of course, that it’d be much cheaper for the govt to steal it/them with legislation than license/buy them.
ASA HUTCHINSON’s Op-Ed piece in the Washington Times that argues that America must stop DataTreasury to protect itself from Osama Bin Laden. You have got to be kidding!!!
If the DataTreasury invention is a national security matter, as I’ve read elsewhere, why doesn’t the government exercise eminent domain in return for fair compensation?
Let’s get it right. The arbitration agreement only related to ONE of the four patents involved and the case is only SECOND to the infringements of Datatreasury’s own ORIGINAL “Check Imaging” patents.
All legalities aside; assuming they were aware of the license; it was morally repugnant for DataTreasury to follow this path. Right and wrong should still matter.
Is it not a bit risky to give “co-ownership” to a licensee, even if couched in terms of being “coextensive” with the license? The decision itself provides several alternatives to making that clause enforceable on an assignee, including assumption, incorporation by reference, third party beneficiary rules, and estoppel. Makes sense to me to include such provisions in a contract, i.e., requiring that in the case of assignment, the assignor will require that the assignee agree to all terms of the contract. any thoughts?
This case is just wrong per Supreme Court precedent on the FAA. This has cert written all over it.
“In support of this license the patent owner hereby conveys and transfers to the licensee a co-ownership interest in the patent which is coextensive with and limited to the rights of the licensee as set out in this license”.
Thanks D, so basically it still rests on the policies and practices of the TC, hmm, well I guess they’ll let us know if it eases up. They’ve let us know about all of the rest of the ease ups fairly fast.
e#6k — If you are thinking of Star Fruits style Requirements for Information, it is in 704.10.
Hey guys have any of you checked out MPEP 707.05(b)II lately? I don’t see the part about requiring a director to sign off on the requiring the applicant to disclose info any more. Anyone see that still in somewhere? Looks like this might have been eased up.
Just visiting, there is the rub. Minnesota law prohibits the running of arbitration clauses with the property because arbitration contracts are personal and do not run with property. At common law (and in every state that I am aware of), a license to use property is personal and does not run with the property; only easements do. So applying the license-right-is-personal-and-not-enforceable-against-assignee logic would invalidate every patent license out there.
Is this kinda like the difference between a personal covenant (I won’t sue you for trespass if you use my driveway) and an easement (you have the right to use my driveway)?
So lawyers have to do a better job of drafting the license agreements so that the Court will understand that the license in all its terms is a charge on the patent, binding on assignees.
I don’t think that’s a fair characterization. Minnesota law specifically limits “running” of arbitration clauses such as the one at issue here. The opninion wouldn’t apply to most of the other terms of a licnese/contract.
Yes, well, since a license itself is generally only a personal contract right binding only on the parties to a contract–and traditionally does not “run with the land”–the Federal Circuit decision here seems to imply the absurd result that Datatreasury is not bound at all by licenses issued by WMR e-Pin. It obviously runs away from this unacceptable conclusion by saying that arbitration is a “procedural term”; but a mere personal contractual right is a just that regardless of whether it is procedural or not.

Aug. 7 - Summary: Tesla beat sales forecast, turns surprise profit; Groupon revenues better; S&P 500 suffers first 3-day slide since June; Time Warner lifted by ''Man of Steel''; AOL jumps into web video ad market. Conway G. Gittens reports.
Stocks slide for a third day in a row as investors fail to shake fears the Federal Reserve is close to slowing bond purchases. Looking at the numbers, this is actually the first time the S&P 500 has been down three-days straight in about two months. Positive surprises after the close. Sales at electronic car company Tesla coming in ahead of Wall Street targets, leading to a profit excluding items versus an expected quarterly loss. And Groupon's mobile strategy is paying off - sales exceeded the consensus in the first full quarter since ousting the company's founder. Ahead of that, Time Warner beat sales and profit forecasts, and raised its outlook for the year. "Man of Steel", one of only a few blockbuster hits this summer, helped the company's fortunes. That comes one-day after Walt Disney warned it could lose up to $190 million on "The Lone Ranger". Time Warner gave up early gains and Dow component Disney finished lower as well. Quarterly revenue subscriptions at AOL were down but total sales and profits managed to top expectations. Meanwhile, AOL is buying ADAP.TV for $405 million, looking to boost exposure to the emerging online video advertising buying market. Michael Learmonth of Ad Age: SOUNDBITE: MICHAEL LEARMONTH, DEPUTY MANAGING EDITOR, ADVERTISING AGE (ENGLISH) SAYING: "The ad tech world is very cluttered. There's a lot of names in it. Everyone knows AOL, so AOL is betting that brands would feel a bit more comfortable kind of just committing dollars to them in advance than finding you know dozens of little points solutions maybe that they would cobble together to do their own plan." On the economic front, mortgage applications rose last week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association, even though home-lending rates were up too. In Europe, Bank of England Governor Mark Carney plans to keep interest rates at record lows until the jobless rate drops to 7 percent. Investors didn't seem to find comfort in his forecast; stocks fell in Germany and the U.K., but rose slightly in France.

These votes were on a resolution setting a time limit for debate and determining which amendments could be offered to Republican-designed legislation that would extend programs funding roads, mass transit, and other transportation projects. The first of these two votes was on a procedural motion known as the “previous question" – which effectively ends debate and brings the pending resolution to an immediate vote. The second vote was on passage of the resolution itself.
Republican leadership brought the bill to the floor as Congress was debating how to extend federal transportation programs. The programs were set to expire in less than two months, and if Congress did not act before the deadline, thousands of construction workers would be laid off as funding dried up for construction projects around the country.
The Republican bill would make significant changes to federal transportation programs while extending them through 2016. The bill would cut spending on roads, bridges, and public transit, and use new energy development – such as opening Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling – to provide a new source of funding for highway construction. The bill also included a requirement that federal employees pay a larger share of the costs of their pensions.
Democrats took issue with the legislation, noting that transportation bills had historically been passed by large bipartisan majorities. But they also objected to the process Republican leadership had set up to consider the bill. It set up a floor debate on the entire bill and separate debates on two smaller pieces of the bill, and members said they wanted House leaders to assure that more amendments could be offered.
“This process is so convoluted and it lacks transparency. I, quite frankly, think my colleagues should be ashamed of bringing this kind of a bill under this kind of process to the floor,” Rep. James McGovern (D-MA) said.
Republicans argued that Democrats were responsible for the partisan nature of the bill because they did not cooperate with members who wrote it. They said the new approach taken by the bill would give states more flexibility to design their own transportation programs.
The House agreed to the previous question motion by a vote of 229-181. Voting “yea” were 227 Republicans and 2 Democrats. Voting “nay” were 181 Democrats. As a result, the House proceeded to a final vote on the resolution setting a time limit for debate and determining which amendments could be offered to the legislation.
The House then agreed by a vote of 235-186 to the resolution setting a time limit for debate and amendments that could be offered to the transportation bill. Voting “yea” were 232 Republicans and 3 Democrats. Voting “nay” were 182 Democrats and 4 Republicans. As a result, the House approved the time and number of amendments that could be offered during debate of Republican-designed legislation that would extend programs funding roads, mass transit, and other transportation projects.

Over the past two decades, significant changes have occurred in chemical plant operations. New maintenance practices such as predictive maintenance have enhanced the cost-effectiveness of that function while at the same time improving plant reliability. New control and information technology has improved the efficiency of plant operators and has also provided the potential for dissemination of plant information throughout the organization.
This supplementary report reviews the important technical and economic progress made in fixed operating cost elements since PEP Report 140, Operating Costs in the Chemical Industry and their Estimation, was issued in April 1981. To determine new industry trends in this field, SRIC conducted a quantitative industry survey in 1996, and the results of that survey serve as the basis for this report.
General, administration, selling, and research costs.
Operating cost correlations are presented on a U.S. basis for both chemical intermediate plants and specialty chemical plants. Productivity trends for several other industrial countries are also presented.
This report will be useful for those throughout the chemical industry who need to estimate operating costs for new or existing plants.

The UK experienced its highest July temperature on record last week as the mercury reached 36.7oC at Heathrow Airport. It was also the hottest day since the all-time record of 38.1oC back in August 2003.
So, why all this heat? Geography applicants should note that the very recent spike in temperatures has not been limited to our shores. Much of southern and western Europe have seen the same, with France and Spain experiencing particularly warm conditions.
High pressure has been dominant over southern Europe lately, allowing the heat to build. This, combined with recent southerly winds has seen the hot air drawn up to the UK.
Enjoyable as it may be for many to bask in the summer sun, there are risks attached. Prospective Medics should be aware that the Government has already issued health warnings to the elderly, who are less able to regulate their body temperatures sufficiently. Diminished ability to thermoregulate is evident at about age 70 and worsens with each decade of life. It can take an elderly person nearly twice the time it takes a younger person to return to a normal core body temperature after exposure to temperature extremes. Those who are heavily pregnant or seriously ill may also be at risk.
Individual weather events like the current heatwave should be treated with caution when discussing global warming. They may be examples of the extreme weather events which some scientists predict, but a warm spell alone cannot be said to be proof of global warming.
However, with the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris rapidly approaching, episodes like the present one will not go unnoticed, and may help to push the world’s leaders towards a firm set of commitments on tackling global warming.

All 12 of the train’s coaches and one of its two engines derailed. The National Transportation Safety Board said at a Monday night briefing that the train had been traveling more than twice the speed limit before it derailed, or at 80 miles per hour instead of the allowable 30 m.p.h. This was the first day of operation on a new inland bypass route. DEtails continue to emerge as the investigation is ongoing.

Home > Cyber Attack > How does your leadership remain aware of cyber security threats?
Some notable stats showed up in the recently-released 2017 Veracode State of Software Security report: while “nearly a third (29 percent) of survey respondents indicated that they are actively pursuing digital transformation projects [and] … a further 29 percent stated that they are either planning for or considering digital transformation projects for the future,” there still seems to be a significant knowledge gap among business leaders with respect to the threats that prominent cyberattacks pose to their organizations. Only 14% of business leaders in this report were aware of the Dyn attack that brought down large swaths of the Internet back in October 2016, and a paltry 8% of those surveyed were aware of the patchable Apache Struts vulnerability exploited in the Equifax data breach.
If executives sponsoring software development and/or acquisition projects do not have at least a basic level of awareness of cyber security threats, they will fail to ensure that application security is successfully built into those projects. Veracode’s survey also found that 65 percent of all internally developed applications did not successfully address the OWASP Top 10 security vulnerabilities. Ensuring your applications are securely designed to avoid these vulnerabilities should be considered a baseline requirement of any software development project. Asking for evidence of secure coding practices from any software supplier should be a baseline requirement of any RFP.

text: In any case involving business ownership, whether the business venture began during the marriage or before the marriage, leads to special valuation and distribution issues. This is particularly complicated if the business is privately held by a few owners. Sometimes a portion or the entire business interest has been gifted from a family member. The lawyer needs to identify the business value at marriage, at receipt of the gift, at time of separation and the current value. In many instances the basis for valuation is controversial and subject to challenge. The lawyer will ask the client to hire a business evaluator. Client cooperation is key to efficiently and comprehensively completing the calculation of values as needed. The non-business owner client often has unique insights to share with the evaluator. In a case where the spouse has business income due to ownership, it may be considered income from an asset, not income available for support. Your attorney will assess the most favorable treatment of the business as an asset and as a source for future support for each client.

I’m writing poolside at the Relais Riserva di Fizzano resort in Tuscany’s Chianti region. “Resort” isn’t really the right word. The enclave of luxury apartments was once a medieval village. Located on top of one of the tallest hills around, its grounds offer a panoramic view of Tuscany’s countryside, hills of cascading grapevines included. Architect Fabio Zingarelli, son of Director and Winemaker Italo Zingarelli, converted the village into what it is today, retaining its original medieval atmosphere. Rocca delle Macíe winery opened the renovated village to offer visitors of the winery a place to stay.
I arrived yesterday after the wine tasting at Rocca delle Macíe, and was immediately overcome by the resort’s natural beauty. I visited the Chianti region for the first time three years ago, when I was 24. During that trip, my girlfriend and I had balanced our budget by sleeping in our rental car. We tasted wine by day, then found a secluded road beside some vines, and spent the night. It wasn’t always comfortable (one night we’d planned on cooking over a fire only to have it rain: we ended up cooking hot dogs on the car’s engine), but it had its charm. Relais Riserva di Fizzano is a direct shot in the other direction. It is affordable luxury.
Our two-room apartment includes a complete kitchen and a large bedroom with immaculate views. The décor is rustic and expertly fashioned. Because it is located on a hilltop, the resort and its grounds feel particularly exclusive, as though you are a temporary citizen of a utopian town. An apartment runs between 100 and 185 euros a night—a bargain, if not a budget-friendly option. The resort has a restaurant, which often features pairing menus, where we ate lunch.
Surrounded by so much beauty, we should have stayed put beside the pool, where unobstructed views of the countryside could be had from lounge chairs. Instead, we decided to use the resort’s mountain bikes, which are offered gratis. It wasn’t a good idea: the area is composed completely of steep hills. We were either soaring at breakneck speeds downhill or laboring uphill at a snail’s pace. I love bicycling, but mountain biking in Tuscany is simply a bad idea. I think we lasted half an hour total, and my legs are still aching today.
In the evening we decided to cook a meal incorporating Tuscany’s traditional ingredients. The apartment’s kitchen included every apparatus you’d need. We bought store-made fresh tagliatelle and made a ragu from scratch (recipe below). One of the many secrets for making a good ragu is blanching the tomatoes. It takes seconds and allows the skins to be removed easily, making for a smoother sauce. With luxurious flare, we used some of Rocca delle Macíe’s 2005 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano in the ragu.
After dinner, during which we opened two bottles of Rocca delle Macíe’s wine, I took a walk alone among the surrounding vineyards. It was probably around midnight, and I lit a Tuscano cigar. The combination of the local produce and cheeses, the local wine, the local tobacco, and the cool night air made me feel truly connected to a part of the world that I was, in actuality, just passing through.
1) Boil a large pot of water. Cut the tops off the tomatoes and cut a slit in each. Carefully add to boiling water. Blanch until skins begin to separate from the tomatoes (15 seconds-1 minute). Drain and cool with cold water. When tomatoes are cool enough to touch, peel and discard skin.
2) Meanwhile, in a deep pan, lightly sauté garlic and onion. Remove sausage from the casing, chop, and add. When sausage has browned, add red wine. Allow to reduce.
3) Set a large pot of water to boil. Coarsely chop the tomatoes, then add to the onion and sausage sauce mixture. Allow to come to a simmer, then add salt and milk.
4) When your sauce has stewed long enough and your water has come to a boil, add pasta to the water. Cook until tender (30 seconds-3 minutes) and drain. Put pasta into bowls and spoon ragu on top. Serve with grated cheese.
Tomorrow I’m heading to Verona. See you there.
Thanks guys, I’ve saved this recipe for later. I’ve never put milk in a pasta sauce – interesting little twist.
Wow! It sounds like you are having too much fun. I’m jealous! The recipe looks really good, I think we will try it this weekend.
Great site you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any forums that cover the same topics talked about here? I’d really like to be a part of community where I can get opinions from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Kudos!
The website TripAdvisor has a forum on many topics. I can’t think of any other websites.

I love tartare, beef or tuna, both work for me. When I see it on a menu I just know I will end up ordering it! But luckily for me I didn't need to be in any restaurant this weekend in order to indulge in some delicious tuna tartare. My friend Kate came over Saturday night with a little treat from her dad's birthday party - tuna tartare! I was so excited to try it, and let me tell you - it was a hit! When committing to making such a delicious dish, it is important that you do get really good quality tuna steak because that is the star of the dish and really needs to be top notch. The flavouring of the dish was quite asian but with diced avocado in there as well you couldn't go wrong. Creamy in a sense yet the diced tuna still holds its own. This tartare was an appetizer to their main dinner and was hoovered! I'm lucky I got some before it was all gone. So if you are looking for a great entertaining recipe that is sure to WOW your guests, this my friends is it!
Recipe by Ina Garten (The Barefoot Contessa) and one of my personal favs!
-Cut the tuna into 1/4-inch dice and place it in a very large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, wasabi, soy sauce, hot red pepper sauce, salt, and pepper. Pour over the tuna, add the scallions and jalapeno, and mix well.
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the seed, and peel. Cut the avocados into 1/4-inch dice. Carefully mix the avocado into the tuna mixture.
- Add the toasted sesame seeds, if using, and season to taste.
Great post Ems! It really wasn't that hard to make, much easier than I expected. Lots of chopping but all the different ingredients add so many layers of flavor and are totally worth the prep time. Very popular with all the guests both times it was served!

Software as a Service, or SaaS, is a great approach for web content management. It provides all the functionality of a traditional on premises Web CMS without the overhead of purchasing expensive licenses and the cost of managing the server and software environment needed to run your websites.
SaaS is definitely about cost-savings, at least upfront, but it's also about handing over the work required to keep your Web CMS environment up and running to people who are experts and leaving your IT resources to look after other important aspects of your business.
If you are thinking about moving to a SaaS-based Web content management system then it's important to understand that SaaS means different things to different CMS vendors. There are, in fact, several different approaches to SaaS, and each one has its strengths and challenges. Let's look at the three approaches to delivering software as a service.
Multitenant SaaS is a common approach to many SaaS applications on the market today. Simply put, the SaaS vendor has built one application and allows many customers to use it. Common examples of multitenancy SaaS include Salesforce and Yammer.
Think of it this way. Multitenant SaaS is like living in an apartment. Your CMS vendor owns the apartment building and manages everything like your heat, water, garbage and basic needs like making sure the elevator works. You simply rent an apartment in that building. You share many things with other renters: power, water, elevators and so on. What you are responsible for is your apartment and the contents within it. You can't change how the apartment is structured (like add a bathroom or a bedroom), you can only change where your furniture sits.
With multitenant SaaS every customer shares the same infrastructure, but the software partitions the customers and their data. In this approach, only one version of the software is maintained and as updates or enhancements are added, every customer benefits.
This approach to managing web content has its benefits. As a customer, there is no infrastructure or software to manage and you get full access to the Web CMS and its functionality. All you have to do is create and manage your websites. If you have a simple website with consistent traffic expectations , then this approach works fine.
However, multitenancy has its drawbacks. Websites are different from CRMs and other applications, because they are customer facing. Websites often require much more customization.
Multitenancy typically assumes that one size fits all, but if your website has more complex requirements you're going to run into problems. For example, you might want a secure section of your website for customer support, or you may need to integrate with your marketing automation or CRM application to provide personalization or custom marketing campaigns.
You may also have a website that has large spikes in traffic certain times of the year that require more resources than a multitenant SaaS Web CMS can provide because it needs to provide a committed set of resources to all its customers. Bad neighbors may be other sites managed on the platform that are streaming a lot of video or impacting performance across the network.
In a multi-tenant environment the vendor also typically chooses when you need to upgrade. This may result in downtime when it is critical your website is available, in pushing out updates that impact the performance of your website and integrity of implementation and integrations, and other issues.
Virtualization is another approach to SaaS for many Web CMS vendors. With virtualization you take one server and partition it into many "virtual" servers. Each virtual server has dedicated storage, processing, memory and security. In essence, each customer gets its own dedicated server and all the flexibility that comes with it: upgrade the software when you choose, manage file level access, write customizations, integrate with third party applications, install additional applications or databases.
In addition, at any time you could move the entire environment to a new location, including on premises.
If we follow our apartment example above, virtualization is much like living in a house. You have your own water and power supply and you are responsible for maintaining up keep of the house. Because your house is completely separate, you can customize it based on your specific requirements, so if you want an extra bathroom you can build it in. If you want to redesign the kitchen or paint the living room, you can.
Virtualization is not without its challenges though. Once your virtualized environment is set up you are limited to the parameters of your server. If you do expect large fluctuations in website traffic, you may find you have to plan up front for the high traffic and pay for it, even when you don't need. That being said, some Web CMS vendors do provide floating resources that can help account for those spikes only when necessary.
Another point you should consider when looking at a Web CMS vendor who provided a virtualized SaaS model is how they distribute the CMS application itself. Is everything on a single server (administration and website)? Or is it separated into two different servers? Your live production web-server is where the traffic spikes can occur and planning for these spikes is part of any good SaaS deployment plan.
In a Hybrid Cloud deployment, you can host your Web CMS application on a dedicated server with a Web CMS vendor, but deploy the live production website with an infrastructure provider like Microsoft Azure or on shared servers with other customers. You could also host the CMS administration application on premises and deploy your live production websites to a Web CMS cloud provider.
If you have a global presence, hosting the live website with a CMS provider with data centers around the world is beneficial. Hosting the live website with Azure supports companies that require a local presence or want the ability to auto-scale for expected, and unexpected, traffic spikes.
The biggest challenge with a hybrid cloud CMS deployment is managing separate environments. You may need to purchase licenses for the on premises installation and also pay subscriptions fees for the hosted live website.
Also with a hybrid cloud deployment where you host the backend CMS application on premises, you are responsible for managing upgrades, as well as supporting its use and customizations.
For some hybrid is the "best of both worlds", but for other organizations hybrid may be the "worst of both worlds". You have the overhead of managing an on premises application and at the same time have to deal with a SaaS environment. To make hybrid worthwhile you need to have very specific business requirements, like stringent security concerns, compliance regulations, or an internal operations group built for managing on premise applications.
Which SaaS CMS Option is Best for You?
This really depends on your needs. Multi-tenant Web CMS can be less expensive, although the cost of virtualization has fallen dramatically. But most multi-tenant solutions are limiting and do not provide the flexibility required to manage complex websites and application. Virtualization provides more flexibility and baseline performance, but you often need to invest in a larger slice of computing power than a fully shared platform.
The architecture of the CMS application is also an important consideration. A tightly coupled CMS will require downtime for your website and application for upgrades. A decoupled CMS that separates content management from content delivery allows each environment to upgraded separately and delivers 100% uptime for your live website.
It's important to understand your requirements for functionality and customizations and integrations as well as your availability and performance expectations. Discuss these requirements with SaaS CMS vendors to best understand how they can support your needs.

We do many things to our lashes - curl, crimp, apply coats of mascara, put on false eyelashes, and cleanse with eye makeup remover. Not including the other bolder measures like tinting, perming, tying, extensions and transplants, these are just some of the everyday things we do to “open up” our smaller Asian eyes, look more awake, and enhance the windows to our souls.
As we make our lashes longer and thicker with cosmetics, we forget that they, like the hair follicles on our heads, also require TLC. The occasional rough treatment of our lashes makes them weak and brittle. The way we treat our lashes makes one think that they are going to last forever, which isn’t the case, of course.
To protect and strengthen lashes, we recommend applying eyelash serums. There are several choices available over the counter, so there really is no excuse to continue neglecting them.
Here are our top 3 picks, in no particular order.
Hailing from Paris, Talika have been doing eyelash care since 1948. While pricier than most, the results do speak for themselves. Lashes look thicker and denser with their formula of Nettle Extract, anti-aging peptides and silk proteins. Talika claims that with the use of Lipocils Expert, eyelashes grow an extra 2.4mm on average in 28 days, are 36% longer, 50% darker and 50% curlier, based on a clinical trial conducted on 30 volunteers by researchers from Paris hospitals.
A lightweight conditioning gel that nourishes and moisturizes lashes with aloe, watercress and comfrey. Lashes become stronger, less brittle and less prone to breakage. There is no noticeable increase in length, but lashes do appear fuller with the application of mascara if you apply this eyelash tonic as a base coat. Made from botanicals with no added fragrance or colour, it is also gentle and suitable for sensitive eyes.
A Beauty-Pati favourite, and we're happy to report that it's available on our island! Don't be put off by the compact size, as one bottle lasts for months, even up to a year. Plus, it's purse-friendly. Eyelashes appear longer and thicker with its formulation of panthothenic acid derivative and photosensitive pigment, which are said to encourage blood circulation at the lash roots and guard against lash loss. Carrot extract and chitin liquid moisturizers work to nourish lash tips and prevent brittleness.
All 3 eyelash serums and tonics can be applied under mascara, or as a night treatment. Remember to allow them to be absorbed before doing your eye makeup, or touching anywhere near the lash line. Applying eyelash serums prior to eye makeup can also help mascara to be applied more smoothly. As a night treatment, it helps to protect, strengthen and lengthen your natural lashes. With that in mind, there really is no reason not to start including this in your beauty regimen today.

Is Five Below Warm ?
.. Apparently it's been snowing a bit. A bit late, a bit dry, a bit warm and a bit much. How usual. The neighbors know what to do - enjoy and shovel. Thanks guys: it's nice not to have to "dig in" - "digging out" is bad enough.
.. 'Tis the season to start our vigil of snow watching. The snow pack is one of our most precious commodities. It nourishes the streams and the landscape through the summer months. It brings oxygen to the fish we love and it sustains life.
.. The current warm spell and heavy snow fall has produced dangerous avalanche conditions, but brings a chance for consolidation into a good base for the upcoming storms.
.. Our vigil always starts with a visit to the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center. It has resources for the region and links to the various monitoring data bases.
.. The avalanche specialists of the Gallatin National Forest are out there doing it right now.
.. They have a great photo gallery, real time weather conditions, and field trip videos. We tend to frequently visit the real time conditions at Lionhead, and the Madison Plateau SNOTEL sites the most.
..We salute those who go to keep us informed. Even with the advance of technology and remote sensors there is work to be done. Right now the snow sensor on Lionhead is acting up. You can bet the intrepid humans will be there to fix it soon. Thanks is given to you.
.. Periodically we'll report in on the condition of the snow. Right now we're a bit down in our neighborhood drainages - but it's early.
JELLO GENOCIDE FOR LAKERS ?
.. Straight from the Research Roundup (#283) at Montana State University comes news that there may be an effective way, (or ways,) to combat the Lake Trout population in Yellowstone Lake.
Jell-O, ultrasound, microwaves and electroshocking are among the possible solutions f or lake trout in Yellowstone National Park, says Al Zale, Unit Leader of the Montana Cooperative Fishery Research Unit at Montana State University. Lake trout, which were introduced illegally into the park, threaten native cutthroat trout in Yellowstone Lake. To find the best way to destroy lake trout eggs, Zale received a grant from the National Park Service. He and his collaborators will analyze several potential solutions and recommend the best. If Jell-O is chosen, it would probably be unflavored, Zale said. Workers could spread it over the fish eggs to smother them. Zale added that it would seem efficient to get rid of the eggs during spawning season, which occurs primarily during late fall. They know where the eggs are located because of past telemetry studies.
.. Follow the work at MSU on the Montana Cooperative Fishery Research Unit Page.
.. Did you know that the Pick Handle Barracuda is also know as the the "JELLO FISH?" World record for Sphyraena Jello is 29 pounds, 12 ounces.
..Taking his cue from The Trout Underground, Santa makes his plea.
.. We've not had much keyboard time of late, (fish // don'tchknow,) so here's our annual post for the island folks in the "QUEENDOM" of CALIFIA.
.. After "THE BIG ONE," The left coast is supposed to become an island.
.. The Maps below are for Joe at THE HORSE'S MOUTH. Que Tal Hombre? Es possible? Es Del Sud?
..Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo seems to be responsible for the island concept in his 1510 novel Las sergas de Esplandián. It sounds like a great place to be. All inhabitants are tall gorgeous black women. Strong, noble, warrior goddesses ruled in the land of Queen Califia: the most noble of all.
.. There's no specific mention of fishing or trout, in the work, but the trout was known in Spain, and there are some spectacular places there to fish.
.. Although contemporary Californios have taken their cue from the British tradition, they could have easily become fly fishers in the Spanish tradition.
.. The Spanish fly fishing tradition can be traced, (in literature,) to a retired Aragonese soldier's 1539 work,"The Little Treatise on Fishing", by Fernando Basurto.
.. The early Spanish flies were densely tied of multiple hackles, and fished with a long rod and no reel. Today 'dapping' is returning. Andrew Herd suggests that the Spanish patterns may have been intended to float. Ahhh, old is new.
.. From Seville and Granada come some of the earliest examples of fish hooks, and despite the extensive "press" given the Anglophillic point of view it seems that fly fishing is a Mediterranean, (nee, even Macedonian,) tradition.
.. As California becomes reclaimed by Hispanic culture and people, one would wish that the fly fishing heritage of Spain would also return.
.. Jeff Kennedy is grinding along over at Drawing Flies 365. Just a couple of days left. This blog is a tough act to follow and we eagerly anticipate the encore.
.. His flies and the blog itself are both informative and entertaining. We hope it remains in an archival state for many years to come.
.. There is a group of folks known as the "Prolific Daily Painters." These artists are committed to one work per day. Ann Elizabeth Schlegel is one who has practiced the discipline since August, 2006.
.. Her blog "Painting Each Day," has an extraordinary array of images, and includes a few flies as well, (#1, #2, #3.) The paintings of the flies are for sale, if you'd like to add to your collection.
.. HDW MOBILE has the new masthead in place and is, of course, is on the road. SHEBOYGAN? MENOMINEE? YEEE HA! The slick of the road in the upper Midwest. Happy Holidays.
.. Those of you following the march of invasive species should click on over to the INVASIVE SPECIES WEBLOG for a glimpse of our current biota; native and otherwise. (Last night's post is about the frog invasion in Montana.) Jennifer Orth has been busy cataloging the visitors since 2002.
.. The site is searchable, informative, definitive, current, and extensive. The 2009 invasive species calendar is available and all profits are donated to groups doing work in the arena of invasive species.
.. Don't get shot. Use protective coloration, (borrow a near-dead truck if you have to.) Take a local along. Knowing some Pauma & speaking a simple greeting is useful. Grunt up the steep and treacherous canyon from the bottom.
.. Catch 7" trout that are 11 years old. Don't touch them. Don't take them from the water. If you fish here you may capture one of the most rare trout on the face of the earth.
.. Puff down the hill. Avoid the local felines. Avoid the poison everything. Admire the fire-blackened trees and browning new growth. Drive a bit and have dinner at Baci Restorante. You did make reservations the week before? You did tip Tony the day before - right?
.. May we suggest: Calamari Fritti, followed by Insalata Capricciosa, then Rack Of Lamb Napolentana, and all accompanied by Colli Di Conegliano. A bit of vanilla ice cream, Galliano, and coffee should settle the meal.
.. We'd hope to live to see a real run.
.. From Protect Your Waters comes a note about Didymo and it's spread in New Zealand. The diatom has been discovered in the world fly fishing destination-river Karamea, in Kahurangi National Park.
.. The saga of threats to the Blue Duck is an example of "unintended consequences."
.. Rabbits, introduced to New Zealand became a pest. The stoat, (ermine,) was introduced to control the rabbits. The ermines found native ducks easier to catch and eat.
.. The native Whio, (Blue Duck,) is endangered and now being threatened by Rock Snot, (Didymosphenia geminata,) in addition to the stoats.
.. This double threat from invasive species is a classic example of the exponential threats facing native species around the world.
.. It's not good to fool with Mother Nature.
.. The same kind of threats face many species in Yellowstone National Park: fish and others. Our "deception" is improving all the time.
.. Early on, Victorians, Sportsmen, and Yellowstone Park Managers introduced exotic fish into the rivers of the park. The fish brought fishers. Fishers brought other invasive species.
.. Now Yellowstone's native Cutthroat Trout are disappearing through predation and interbreeding. Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, and Lake Trout are the primary culprits at present. The New Zealand mud snails, Didymo, and other world travelers are threats looming on the near horizon.
.. Fishing has grown, (though not recently,) to invade all fishable waters. It is a pastime that unthinkingly - or innocently - believes that it is about the fish.
.. Rivers, lakes, ponds, oceans, and the other waters that contain the fish are usually secondary in the thinking process of fishers. The ecology of the fish and its environs are way down the list of concerns and conversation. This has got to change if fishing is to continue in our national parks.
.. Rock Snot is at the south entrance to Yellowstone National Park. The threat is real and the diatom will probably be in the rivers within the park in the next year or two. It may be there now - unnoticed by fishers and managers alike.

BRUNSWICK — St. John the Baptist Church has received a $100,000 anonymous donation for its parish multipurpose facility on Pleasant Street, bringing the total funds raised to $3.8 million of the $4.7 million goal.
Jim Baskerville, chairman of the committee overseeing the campaign, called the donation “a significant shot in the arm” for the project that has been a decade in the making.
“It’s certainly a shot of adrenaline to the project,” he said, adding that he did not know how many of the 3,200 families in All Saints Parish, which includes seven churches in a region of 800 square miles, have pledged donations.
The anonymous donor also promised that if the church can raise another $300,000, they will pitch in an additional $100,000.
When complete, the 15,000-square-foot building will house a kitchen, meeting room, music room, adoration chapel, locker rooms, and an open space that will be used as an auditorium, cafeteria and gymnasium.
Construction is slated to be complete by early next year and the building is expected to open in the spring.
The next important phase, Baskerville said, will be furnishing the space and equipping it with appliances, alarms and sprinkler systems, then receiving a certificate of occupancy.
Baskerville said while the building will be “heavily used” by St. John’s Catholic School, parishioners and community members will also use it.
Some local businesses, he added, have already approached the church to inquire about using the space for meetings and conferences.
The idea for the multipurpose facility first arose roughly 10 years ago, when the church needed reception space after an affiliated Knights of Columbus Hall closed.
“It just became obvious that the school and the church needed someplace and we needed to proceed with what now has become (the multipurpose facility),” Baskerville said.
Though the town now has the Brunswick Recreation Center at Brunswick Landing, Baskerville said the new building will also fill a need for downtown recreation space.
Donations towards the effort can be made on the parish website or by sending a check with the word “campaign” written in the memo line to All Saints Parish in Brunswick.
Ultimately, Baskerville said the church community and the alumni of St. John’s have been generous in their contributions.
St. John the Baptist Church received a $100,000 donation from an anonymous parishioner for its new multipurpose facility. The donor promised another $100,000 if the church raises $300,000 in new donations.
Work continues on the All Saints Parish Multipurpose Center on Pleasant Street in Brunswick.

Spring cleaning has come earlier for this Google’s beta product called Schemer – The beginning of everything worth doing.
This was a beta product from Google that inspire and motivate people by posting “I want to do it” or “I have done it” schemes that rallied their friends and others behind stuff they want to do it.
For e.g “I want to go to Google I/O 2014” or “I want to buy a HTC One Android phone”, etc., and post it as a scheme, your followers on schemers will see this and if they are planning to the same then you’ll see “I want to do it” count will go up. Once the task is completed everybody will mark the scheme as “I have done it”. You may share tips and comments that’ll help achieving those schemes.
This may not be a big deal at the surface but when you use it you’ll see the real value in it. This is a great idea to bring like-minded people together and stay connected and most of all motivated & get things done.
A while ago, Schemer was integrated with Google+ that allows your circles to know and participate in your schemes.
It is unfortunate that this product didn’t get enough attention among the public and you know what happens if it doesn’t meet google scale requirements. Their metrics and expectations are very high and unfortunately this product didn’t meet its goal and the time has come to its shutdown. Official power down date is announced as February 7th 2014 and all data will be deleted permanently after that.
Although it is really hard to let this product go, the good news is we can download all our data created on schemer. This is the true openness of the web where, when you don’t like a cloud product or the event of shutting down, you should download the data that you own. Google has delivered on that promise.
So, if you care about your schemer data, please take a moment to go to schemer.com and you’ll be prompted with a dialog “The time has come for Schemer to power down.” (refer image above) and click on the EMAIL ME MY SCHEMES and you’ll receive your data in a day or two. This is available only until February 7th 2014, so you have to hurry up. We highly recommend to email your schemer schemes (download data) to your email so that one day you’ll be able to use it.
What do you think about this Schemer.com Shutdown? Please share your thoughts through Google+ comments below.

You need: 3 ½ cups of milk; 1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract; 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon; a cinnamon stick; a pinch of ground cloves; six egg yolks; ¾ cup of granulated sugar; one cup rum (optional); one cup double cream; ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
Method: put the milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, cinnamon stick and clove into a medium sized saucepan over a low heat. Bring it to a slow boil. Once it starts to boil, take the saucepan off the heat and let the cinnamon stick steep for two minutes before removing. Place the egg yolks and sugar in a mixer and whisk until pale and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the hot milk mixture to the yolks and mix. Put the mixture back into the saucepan and heat on medium for about five minutes, stirring continuously. Don’t let boil. Once thick and creamy, take off the heat and allow to cool a little. Stir in the rum (if using), double cream and nutmeg. Allow to fully cool before putting in the fridge overnight. To serve: place in nice glasses and sprinkle with cinnamon. For a non-alcoholic eggnog leave out the rum.

As we “Remember those . . . who have spoken the word of God” (Hebrews 13:7), I like to share a long-ago newspaper-clipped “Prayer for my Pastor” which I assume is anonymous. I have used it many times. “Dear God, bless my pastor today.
Make him too big to be little; too wise to be foolish; too holy to be selfish; too spiritual to be worldly; too tall to get a chip on his shoulder; too dedicated to swerve; too zealous to be idle; too cultured to be course; too happy to be morbid.
Save him from the love of big words, the fear of carnal people, the tedium of too many announcements.
Deliver him from the rut of running overtime, the pit of pointless preaching, the evil of emotionless messages.
Strengthen him when the tempter would lure him into sins shallow or deep; when he is the target of tongues whetted to a severe sharpness.
Empower him with the Spirit of Pentecost to make him strong in the pulpit; with the Spirit of Christ to make him steadfast in weakness.
Keep him from toning down the spiritual messages to please the worldly; from trimming down his sermons into sermonettes; from talking down to his congregation in display of conceited sophistication.
Give him wisdom to wait when he does not know which way to turn; grace to begin when he does not know who will follow; courage to lead when he knows he’s right.

I’m looking for poets on Micro.blog. Anybody out there?
@richnewman A few, for sure: @rnv, @schuth, and @mwillett (and sometimes I pretend I’m one).
@smokey Thanks! Is your work online anywhere?
@richnewman Also, I don’t know if he self-identifies as a poet, but @chet has been publishing a daily haiku here for the past several months.
@richnewman Hello, welcome to Micro.blog! Yes, @smokey is right: I absolutely am, among other things, a poet. I write every day because I have to. However, I have only managed to be sporadically published — a total of maybe ten poems in thirty years. I figure that failing at something for that long is a form of commitment, no?
@smokey So I started to reply to this and the whole page somehow reloaded, so I don't know if this will be redundant: I'm looking forward to checking out your blog. I'm always interested in work by people who write--as it sounds like you do--more or less only for themselves.
@rnv I just realized I didn’t reply to this. I meant to say you’re right. That is a commitment. Where have you published?
@richnewman Yes, it’s mostly for off-lifting things that are running around in my head, though on occasion I have written things intended for a larger audience—but that’s still mostly friends and people who experienced something with me.
When I returned to writing semi-regularly a few years ago after more than a decade of rarely doing so, I found that the things I was writing were more deeply personal than in the past, so I’m sharing them much less often than in the early years, but I do still try to share stanzas or other extracts that I’m particularly happy with and feel are sufficiently “safe”. I have one such stanza sitting in a draft blog post I need to finish up, actually.
@smokey I just read "Egyptian Journey," which I like a lot, not just the way you capture a more realistic picture of Cairo/Egypt--that is nontheless through an outsider's eyes--but, on a purely personal level, the way it resontes with how I sometimes think (and thought) about Seoul, where I lived in the 1988-89 as an English teacher. It was a life-changing experience that I am still exploring in some ways, in both my writing and my teaching.
@tones That must've been some poem, then!
@smokey My own experience has been that poems (and not just poems) that are sufficiently concrete in their own specificity end up speaking very clearly to those "broader audiences" than poems written intentionally to be "more general," a phrase that my students sometimes use when they tell me why they resist the specific, concrete, and particular.
@richnewman That’s good to know.

This unit will provide you with an understanding of the role and effect of engineering on the causation, prevention and investigation of accidents. You will study the concepts, drivers and language of the engineering profession, the engineering domains (eg civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical) and their contribution to accident forensics, engineering failure analysis methods and failure in the engineering design process (such as solving the wrong problem, wrong user consultation, failure to understand user requirements, the designed system vs operational system), and understanding of engineers' reports. You will examine the principles of forensic engineering, forensic engineering investigation methods and the application of contemporary investigation technologies. In addition, this unit will provide you with an opportunity to explore the tenets of the key forensic investigation disciplines such as fire and meteorological investigations.
Term 2 - 2017 : The overall satisfaction for students in the last offering of this course was 3.9 (on a 5 point Likert scale), based on a 56.52% response rate.
Dedicate some time each week to work on an area of mathematics/physics, instead of concentrated lectures near the end of term.
Maths/physics was introduced earlier in the term, and spread over a larger time period.
Students greatly enjoyed the new residential school activities especially those that related to forensic engineering.
Continue the new residential school activities.
Students requested that assessments be structured earlier in the term.
Change assessment item timing. Bring some assessment items earlier in the term.
Some students found responding to discussion items as assessment challenging.
Review Discussion forum assessment item.
Residential school is already scheduled for earlier in the term. This will also bring the assessment for that residential school earlier in the term.

The area of England where our son and his family lives is beautiful. It is hard to believe that some of these towns and buildings are older than our nation… by a few hundred years!
The scenery is breathtaking and you never know what you’re going to see.
Isn’t this gorgeous? And, the hillsides are dotted with sheep.
One of the most interesting things we saw was painted sheep! Yes, painted sheep!
And, sure enough, as we got closer to the farm that the sheep call home, the door of the barn was painted the same color as the backs of the sheep. It makes sense. The wool will grow over any other identifying marker, so in order to know whom the sheep belong to, you must mark the wool.
Not only does it look pretty, it sounds pretty. Everyone has an accent! Everywhere I’ve lived – Texas, North Carolina, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota – all y’all have an accent.
I was thinking about that recently and it dawned on me: those sheep know the voice, and accent, of their shepherd. Would they recognize a shepherd with an American Midwestern accent? No. I don’t think so.
I don’t think so because of the nature of sheep. When I taught the Gospel of John a few years ago, I studied a little bit about sheep and shepherds and I learned that sheep are very fearful animals.
Sheep are afraid to venture beyond where they have been led because they don’t know what is out there. Unlike goats who will roam about freely, a sheep will only go to familiar territory. If their water source is beyond the familiar, they will die of dehydration. A good shepherd will lead them to the water, after that, they will find it on their own.
Now, I’m not convinced that animals have emotions (except for dogs – my dog-loving friends have taught me this!), so perhaps it is not fear of the unfamiliar that leads sheep, but knowledge of the familiar.
Whichever it is, a sheep will not follow an alien voice, they will run in the opposite direction when they hear one. Therefore, a sheep must learn the sound of its shepherd’s voice and the way he communicates. They learn this by repetition.
Some shepherds use words, some use syllables or sounds. As he calls them out of the pen in the morning they learn to follow only him. And at the end of each day, leading them back to the pen, the shepherd speaks to his sheep as he checks them for scrapes and injuries. They hear his voice as he puts salve on their wounds. They learn to trust him to provide for and take care of them.
It’s interesting that throughout the Bible God’s people are referred to as sheep, and Jesus is our shepherd. We are marked with the Holy Spirit and we know to whom we belong. And, hopefully, as we live for God, other people will clearly see our resemblance to the Father and will also know to whom we belong.
If a sheep can learn the voice of its shepherd, so can we. Do you know the voice of your Shepherd? Even though we all have the same Shepherd, his voice will sound different for every one of us. It will have the accent with which we are familiar. It will be personal and private to us. Your Shepherd’s voice will speak clearly.
However, when the Shepherd speaks – and we always know when he does – if we begin to argue, dissect, ask advice from other people, question, or weigh the pros and cons his voice becomes indiscernible. It gets lost in the cacophony of voices that vie for our attention all day every day.
If, when we hear our Shepherd’s voice, we submit to whatever he says our ability to hear him grows clearer and stronger. We will hear his voice no matter where we are, or how far from him we might roam.
Our Shepherd will lead us into the familiar, he will protect us from predators, and he will look over us each day and lovingly salve all of our wounds. He will comfort us as he brings us into the fold.
Do you know the voice of your shepherd? When was the last time you heard it? Are you training your ears to hear him more clearly? Will you follow him wherever he leads? Are you living an identifiable life? If you never told anyone, would people know that you belong to God?
