Robert Stoll
Partner, Co-Chair IP Group, Former Commissioner for Patents, USPTO
Faegre Drinker
Robert Stoll is a Partner and Co-Chair of the IP Practice Group at Faegre Drinker Biddle and Reath and a former United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) patent commissioner who applies more than 35 years of experience in intellectual property prosecution to advising clients on protecting inventions and the complexities of foreign and domestic intellectual property laws. He also advocates generally for the critical role of intellectual property in economic growth and job creation. Bob advises clients about potential legislative and rule changes and helps them advocate their interests before the administration and the legislature. Bob frequently testifies in court as an expert witness in prosecution at the USPTO.
Patent Prosecution
Bob manages patent prosecution for multinational corporations, conducts portfolio analyses and provides opinions on patent issues. He troubleshoots problems that arise in the prosecution of patent cases. He advises on post-grant procedures before the USPTO and engages in policy work related to intellectual property. Bob also represents other attorneys and firms before the Office of Enrollment and Discipline at the USPTO.
USPTO Commissioner
Bob retired from the USPTO as commissioner for patents in 2011 after a distinguished 34-year government career, having started at the USPTO as an examiner.

Mysterious Patent Attacks: Policymakers Must Stand Up and Require Patent Membership Organizations Reveal Themselves
A strong and predictable intellectual property system is crucial to protecting and promoting American innovation around the globe. It allows American businesses of any size to compete globally, creating millions of American jobs. Strong intellectual property rights provide a strong foundation for America's role as the world's innovation and technological leader, powering our world with the next generation of technology to help kids learn, to connect remote workers, provide better access to healthcare and help make our planet more sustainable. The role of innovation (from vaccines to communication technology, content creation, etc.) has never been more crucial than during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The ability to protect what one creates or invents grows our economy and GDP, generates incentives to continue the innovation process, and makes our country safer and more secure from foreign adversaries.
The New U.S. Essential Patents Statement – Safeguarding the Integrity of the Patent System
In withdrawing the 2013 statement, the new 2019 guidance by the DOJ, NIST and the USPTO states the obvious, i.e. that there is no difference in the law between F/RAND assured standard essential patents and all other patents. While some would have perhaps liked to break the unitarity approach of the patent system so as to weaken remedies against the infringement of essential patents, a legal system that would apply a different standard to standard essential patents as opposed to other patents would violate U.S. trade obligations.
What Happens to Diagnostic Method Patents After Athena?
I am sure that the justices of the Supreme Court did not anticipate the confusion they created when they issued their controversial decision in Alice Corporation v. CLS Bank in 2014. That case effectively upended well-established precedence when the Court unanimously held that a computer-implemented scheme for mitigating settlement risk was not patent eligible subject matter because the claims were drawn to an abstract idea, and that merely requiring generic computer implementation fails to transform the claims to eligible subject matter. The Court itself said their holding was to be narrowly construed, but in providing a vague, two-step test to determine whether something is patent eligible, they unleashed a world of hurt on some of our domestic industries seeking patents in cutting-edge technologies. The application of the Alice test to some of our health-related industries is having disastrous effects. On February 6, 2019, in a split decision, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) found in Athena Diagnostics v. Mayo Collaborative Services that diagnostic methods are not patent subject matter eligible unless they embody a separate technical improvement beyond the correlation of certain antibodies in bodily fluids to particular diseases. In a footnote, the majority lamented that they felt compelled by Supreme Court precedence to render their decision, but recognized that protection of diagnostic methods would be for good for society. The Athena case does not portend well for the CAFC adoption of the recent USPTO guidance on Section 101. The courts will eventually be able to either put their imprimatur on those guidelines or discard them. The sooner that is done, the better.
More Bites at the Apple?
After TCL lost its IPRs against Ericsson in a written decision at PTAB, it was barred from filing subsequent IPRs against the '510 patent. TCL was then hit with a very large verdict for infringement of the patent in court. Then, four months after the verdict the same patent is challenged at the PTAB again by a consortium that has some relationships to TCL.
Alternative Routes to Protection of Innovation
Every year different groups provide rankings of patent prosecution law firms and a company's patent count for the year. Patent law firms will tout their rankings based upon the number of filings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) or the number of allowances they obtained for clients over the previous year. And companies will boast about their patent prowess based upon the size of their portfolios. But things are changing. Innovative algorithms and even diagnostic methods may be easier and more effectively protected by trade secret. Trade secret protection avoids the uncertainty of compliance with the vague patentability standard set forth by the Supreme Court.
Director Andrei Iancu's Act One
Andrei Iancu is leaving an extremely lucrative position as Managing Partner at Irell to make his mark upon the patent system as Director for a salary that many in his wage bracket would consider a stipend. But his chance for significant policy impact is limited by time and the need to immediately deliver valid and timely patents on day one. Hopefully, Director Iancu is already planning some of his initiatives to get a jump start on his legacy.
Questions Raised by the Lexmark Decision
Licensing a product instead of selling it may also be a tool for avoiding international patent exhaustion. It is common to distribute software via license, and this might avoid international exhaustion, although it will not work for all products. For example, licensing a drug makes little sense. However, re-importation of a drug would be regulated by the FDA, and the conditions and chain of control of drugs might mitigate some of the international exhaustion issues there. As such, many companies are evaluating the extent of the decision on international exhaustion and how it affects their industries. Since companies have thousands of contracts already in place and the parties will have to reevaluate their positions going forward, this is causing mass confusion and restructuring of contracts and relationships.
A Review at Five Years of Inter Partes Review
Post grant procedures can be an effective and efficient way of promoting patent quality by invalidating weak, inappropriately granted patents. What we need now is thoughtful review and assessment, based upon five years of experience about what is working and what needs to be done to improve the system. The above issues need to be watched and analyzed, and, if appropriate, modifications need to be suggested and tried. Many improvements can be made by the USPTO itself through transparent rule-making. Some may need legislative intervention. But there is no need to throw out the entire process. We should learn from what has happened before and be willing to improve the system for the benefit of innovation in our country and the continued growth of our economy.

Carbonate Shelf Sequence - Limestone and minor dolomite
Includes generally cliff-forming, thin- to thick-bedded limestone. These rocks are mainly shallow water subtidal, intertidal, and supratidal deposits formed on a broad inner carbonate shelf (Stewart, 1980). The Devils Gate Limestone and Guilmette Formation in northern Nevada are the principal units, and the Sultan Limestone is included from the southern part of the State. Unit is overlain (usually disconformably) by the Pilot Shale of unit MDcl except in southernmost Nevada where it is overlain by Mississippian carbonate (Mc). It depositionally overlies Middle and Lower Devonian unit Dcd. In a few places, such as southern Nevada and parts of Eureka County, regional mapping did not distinguish the Upper and Middle Devonian section from the Lower Devonian section, and all of the Devonian is included in unit Dc. Rocks mapped as the Simonson Dolomite would fit into this depositional sequence (sequences 9 and 10 of Cook and Corboy, 2004), but they are not differentiated from the underlying dolomites in White Pine or Elko Counties, so they are all included in unit Dcd here, not unit Dc. This unit crops out in Clark, Elko, Eureka, Lander, Lincoln, Nye, and White Pine Counties.

Discussion in 'AdGuard for Safari' started by itabmedia, Jan 16, 2015.
Hi, I'm using the latest Adguard extension for Safari.
the playing video just reloads again and the previous page does not load like it's supposed to.
In other words, if I go from lets say search results, or my subscriptions page, to a video.
I watch the video, then swipe back to the previous results page, it just reloads the playing video page instead of going back to the results.
So every time I watch a video on youtube, I have to swipe back twice to get back to the results page.
If I disable Adguard on Youtube, everything is normal.
I only have the default filters loaded, with spyware and malware filters added.
Please tell me how to fix this, it's very annoying.
I don't want to disable Adguard completely because of the video ads.
Sorry for the long post, just wanted to explain the issue thoroughly.
Hi! Thanks for the defect submission, we will check and fix it ASAP.
The bug is created, but it takes some time to fix. We apologize for this delay, hope it's not too much of an inconvenience.
Hi, we finally fixed it. All you have to do is upadte filters, and everything will work fine.
Yep fixed for me, Thanks very much! I really appreciate the help.
Also what is the quickest or best method to report these types of site issues? Should I keep posting on these forums, or is there a better way?
Forums is a good place.
Yep, forum is good. Tech support is also OK, but might take a little longer for a ticket to travel through 1st and 2nd line.

I did try this on irb (after require 'parslet') but it not working. Of course if I put this as a rule in a Parslet::Parser class it will work. My question is can we try parslet atom like above in irb? Is there any way to try that?
like this:
irb> require 'parslet'
irb> str('ooo').parse('ooo')

I can't guarantee you'll love it (I'm surprised to discover people who hate it), but it will certainly not be boring by any means.
It is difficult to choose just one film by Terry Gilliam as a favorite. He's done so many excellent films, and because of that is probably the auteur I hold in the highest regard. If I had to pick just one, it would have to be the middle entry in his unofficial Dreamer's Trilogy - Brazil.
Never mind my rambling. On to the film.
Brazil is set "Somewhere in the 20th Century," but it isn't a thing like the 100 years we just got through with...or is it? The world is a giant buereaucratic mess, with everything requiring a form of some sort and everybody being watched over by the very Orwellian Ministry of Information. In the middle of it all, Sam Lowry (Jonathan Pryce) is trying very hard not to stand out in the crowd. What little ambition he has takes the form of fantastic dreams where he is a winged hero. However, Sam is quickly drawn into a nightmare that he didn't bargain for. A bug in the system (literally) causes a Mr. Buttle to be arrested instead of a Mr. Tuttle (Robert DeNiro). Normally, Sam wouldn't care, but involved in the whole mess is Jill (Kim Greist), who looks exactly like the angelic female in his dreamworld. Soon, he's becoming very noticable trying to help her out, something the Ministry isn't pleased with at all.
One of the things I'd forgotten about the movie is how funny it is. I scoffed when it was filed under "Comedy" at the video store, but that's what it really is - a brilliant satire of the Information Age. The mockery isn't always subtle, but it's nearly always dead on. Plus, there's a good helping of physical humor, something Pryce does with flair. Note especially his hi-jinks with a shared desk, a priceless routine.
However, if you're the kind of person who hates humor (and you probably aren't fond of puppies, either, you poor oaf), than you must see the dazzling visuals. While they are quite pronounced in the fantasy sequences, it's in the "real world" where they truly shine. If Kafka was a production designer, this would be his masterwork. Ducts everywhere, friendly signs to remind you how to think ("Suspicion breeds confidence"), huge statues, mammoth buildings, unending warren-like corridors. The costumes, too, are something to behold, including a new, and incredibly disturbing, spin on the old executioner's mask. Mere words can do little to describe the feast of visual delights set before the viewer.
Eating up that banquet is Gilliam's camera, which chooes to defy normal camera placement at every turn, but for good reason. When he does something interesting with the lens, it provokes an emotion, something only the best films can do. He manages to make the tone of the movie both hopeless and optimistic. We know that Sam probably can't win, but we're willing to believe, if only for a second, that he can.
Of course, this unpromising faith is as much the work of Gilliam as it Jonathan Pryce, who makes the dreamer in a world of nightmare so likable. It's a performance like this that is truly a wonder, and a lot of the film's believability hinges on him. Let's face it - a man risking everything to pursue a woman he's never met and who has only been previously seen in figments of his imagination isn't exactly easy to stomach. However, Pryce makes it seem like it would be unreasonable not to do exactly that. Genius.
The rest of the cast measures up well enough. Easily the next best is DeNiro as renegade heating engineer Harry Tuttle, but then again, it's DeNiro, so quality isn't a surprise. Katherine Helmond turns in a delightfully over-the-top performance as Sam's youth-obsessed socialite mother. Python comrade Michael Palin plays against type as Jack, a friend of Sam who has climbed to a very important position in the Ministry. Bob Hoskins, Ian Holm, and Jim Broadbent all have small but very funny roles.
The worst actor in the entire film is probably Greist, though. She's absolutely terrible, and Gilliam did right by leaving parts of her work on the cutting room floor. She's wooden, uninteresting...you don't really comprehend what Sam sees in her but subconcious similarities (another reason why Pryce is brilliant...he picked up Greist's slack). Plus, she can't do realistic line delivery to save her soul. Why the studio wouldn't let Gilliam cast Ellen Barkin is beyond me.
Additionally, the movie drags just a bit in the final act with a dream sequence that is visually intriguing but just keeps going... It was a lot of good stuff but it was too much for a climax. Gilliam could have lost a lot of it in the editing booth, and nobody would know any better (and I'd have a review one paragraph shorter).
Brazil overcomes all of its flaws, though, simply because everything else is so amazing. Everything it does well, it does perfectly. Even the tiniest little details are brilliant. In fact, just the movie's background minutiae is better than a lot of films. That says quite a bit.
So...now that you're going to see this movie as soon as possible, what is the best format to see it in? Why, DVD, of course! "But Nate, which DVD? There's a cheap one from Universal and this big blue expensive one from Criterion." Get the Criterion boxed set. It may seem like a chunk out of your wallet, but it's worth every penny. I haven't even gotten to the second disc yet, and I'm very happy with it. It has Gilliam's 142 minute director's cut, plus the studio's 94 minute happy version, which is by all accounts inferior, and merely included to show what a great guy Gilliam is and what stinkers the people at Universal can be. Plus, there's two documentaries and reams of supplemental information.
I'm not the kind of guy to put The Replacements or The Fast and the Furious in my top 5. The placement of those films is quite nearly set in stone, so you can trust me that when I say that Brazil is my fourth favorite movie of all time, it's not a statement to take lightly. I can't guarantee you'll love it (I'm surprised to discover people who hate it), but it will certainly not be boring by any means.

Akavi's family said they missed her and were proud of the work to which she'd dedicated her life.
"We think about her every day and hope she feels that and finds strength in that," said the video statement issued by family spokesperson Tuaine Robati. "We know she is thinking of us and that she will be worried about us too.."
He said strenuous efforts had been made to secure her release. Negotiations in 2013 and 2014 were not successful. In 2014 she was among a group of hostages moved by ISIS only hours before a raid by US special forces which aimed to free them.
Stillhart later defender the ICRC's decision to publicize Akavi's case after years of silence.
"Every decision was to maximize the chance of Louisa's freedom... and every decision was coordinated with the New Zealand Government," Stillhart told a news conference in Geneva. "That included the difficult decision to go public.
"We think with new information from the public, we can redirect the investigation for Louisa."


A work of art, be it a painting, a sculpture, a photograph, a piece of jewelry, a ceramic vessel, a wooden carving, a poem or a work of fiction is considered to be Intellectual Property (IP). Shy Rabbit, an artist-run art center in Pagosa Springs, hosted Colorado Lawyers for the Arts board member Christopher Beall from Faegre & Benson in Denver. Beall, an IP litigator, discussed the finer points of IP: patents; copyright; trademark and trade Secrets. These are issues critically important for artists, writers, musicians and performers to understand, but frequently overlooked until it is too late.
Beall was invited to Shy Rabbit to assist artists in beginning to approach their arts business in a businesslike manner. More than a dozen artists attended two half-day workshops.
A copyright involves the expression of an idea. According to the Copyright Act of 1976, "copyright protection subsists . . . in original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression . . . from which they can be perceived, reproduced or otherwise communicated . . ." In other words, a copyright exists from the moment the work is fixed in a tangible medium of expression, either on paper or digitally recorded in a computer. The moment the writer fixes the words to the document or the artist fixes the sketch to paper, it is copyrighted. Copyrightable works of authorship include literary works; musical works; dramatic works; pantomimes and choreographic works; pictorial, graphic and sculptural works; motion pictures and other audio-visual works; sound recordings and architectural works.
Copyright law originally protected the nonfiction writing of scientists and the useful discoveries of inventors for 15 years. It was designed to encourage thinkers to convey their knowledge to the world.
Today, copyright protection is guaranteed for the lifetime of the creator, plus 70 years (for corporations, for the lifetime of the creator, plus 50 years). The owner of a copyright has the exclusive rights to do and authorize the reproduction of copyrighted work; to prepare derivatives and deviations of the work; to distribute copies; to perform copyrighted works publicly; to display copyrighted works publicly; to perform a sound recording by digital audio transmission.
Copyright cannot and does not protect concepts, ideas, procedures, systems, methods or operations, moods, or thematic structure.
1. Work must be registered with the copyright office in order for the creator to have a copyright.
Not true; a work is copyrighted the moment it is fixed in a tangible medium. However, if your work is not registered with the copyright office-www.copyright.gov-it will make it more difficult to sue if someone wrongfully copies your work. Without registering, you cannot obtain statutory damages and attorney's fees. An artist or writer can register a body of work for $35. Burn all images or documents on a disk and send them in with the proper paperwork. Website files can be burned every 90 days and submitted for copyright protection.
2. If there is no copyright (notice the letter c' inside the circle) the work is not protected by copyright law.
Wrong. All work is protected the moment it is fixed in a tangible medium and the presence or lack of presence of the copyright symbol means nothing. Under the Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988, no formalities are required for the creation of copyright rights. But it doesn't hurt to remind people that the work is copyrighted. In Word the hot keys are option + G.
3. Mailing a letter to myself with my work inside and keeping the envelope sealed, is just as good as submitting the work for copyright registration.
Wrong. See the answer to number one above. Courts do not recognize this "poor woman's copyright." It's only $35 to protect your work. Cough it up. It will save money in the long run.
4. I can copyright the title to my great American novel, my sculpture, my whatever.
Nope. Sorry. No matter how brilliant it is you cannot copyright the title. Phrases, slogans and titles are not eligible for copyright protection. However, the title of a series of books, can, in certain circumstances, be registered as a trademark under the Lanham Act.
5. If an apprentice makes the work and I call it a work for hire, then I own the copyright.
"Work made for hire" applies only to the following: A work prepared by an employee within the scope of her employment; or a specially commissioned work that is a contribution to a collective work, a part of a motion picture, a sound recording, an instructional text, a test or answers to a test, an atlas. Notice that sculpture, choreography, ballet and screenplay are not included in this list. And remember, an independent contractor needs to have a written and signed contract so that the employer and not the person doing the work owns the copyright.
6. If I own the copyright in a photograph of a celebrity, I can use the photograph however I want.
Well, not exactly. Every person, not just celebrities, controls the right to the exploitation of their likeness. Is it mere replication or is it a transformative and artistic creation? It is best to get permission in writing in the form of a legal agreement, but that still might not be enough. This is an area that requires legal expertise.
7. If I own the negative of a photograph that someone else took, I can make as many copies as I want or, if I own a piece of sculpture, I can sell as many copies of the sculpture as I want.
Simple answer. No. The artist may continue to exploit the value of the work after it is sold. If you sell the original, license the prints, or make T-shirts, the artist owns the copyright.
8. If our town owns a commissioned mural or sculpture, they can take the piece down whenever they want.
Sorry, not without permission. The Visual Artists Rights Act provides the artist with the right of attribution; the right to control attribution to a distorted or mutilated version of the work; the right to prevent intentional distortion, mutilation or other modification of the work if such alterations would be prejudicial to the author's honor or reputation; the right to prevent destruction of a work of recognized stature.
9. If I use less than 10 percent, 10 seconds or 10 words of someone else's work, I cannot be held liable for copyright infringement.
There are no magic numbers. If you take the heart of the work, even if it is one line of a poem or 500 words of a 20,000-word book, it is copyright infringement. However, there is such a thing as "Fair Use." The fair use of a copyrighted work includes criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship or research. Factors in determining fair use include the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; the nature of the copyrighted work; the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and the effect of the use on the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. In other words, it's not fair if your use of the copyrighted work is taking away sales from the author.
10. If my work is a parody of someone else's work, then it will always be protected by the "fair use" defense.
A parody is commentary on the original work and may constitute "fair use" of the underlying copyrighted material only if it uses only so much of the original work as is necessary to suggest, rather than copy, the original work. And a work of parody is protected only if it is "transformative" (a dramatic change in appearance or meaning!).
11. If a song is in the public domain I can use it however I want.
Yes, the 1812 Overture is in the public domain and may be used. However, Jon William's arrangement of the 1812 Overture is protected by copyright. So be aware.
12. If I copy something from the Internet, I don't have to worry about copyright infringement.
No. Copyright law applies to the Internet.

Q: Handling unknown shipping costs via PayPal Express nvp API Can some confirm something for me; I've searched PayPal's docs and just can't find the answer.
If calling SetExpressCheckout with the parameter 'TOTALTYPE'= 'EstimatedTotal', how much headroom does PayPal allow for finalizing the transaction?
For example, someone carts an item that has a cost of $1.  They click PayPal Express and get sent to PayPal to authorize an estimated amount of $1.  Then they return to the merchant site and now that their address is known, the cart says shipping is +$20.
Is that acceptable?  I'd really like to understand the groundrules on this, as I don't want to risk any authorization errors due to insufficient order amount when making the request.

A: Well, I have to answer my own question here.  I called PayPal.  The answer is "it's handled, don't worry about it".  They would rather not publish the details on their proprietary algorithm because there are fraud tests, etc. going on -- but said it is a key design point for them and it is absolutely handled no worries.

A: If you are not passing a SHIPPINGAMT variable with the SetExpressCheckout call, then we will not display or "calculate" shipping on the PayPal page.  When they are transferred to the PayPal page the customer is not authorizing the payment per se, rather they are selecting their payment method/funding source to be used when the DoExpressCheckout call is passed.
Only after the customer is transferred back to your page, and the final order total is known and passed via the DoExpressCheckout is the payment initiated. The difference between the total amount in the Set call and the Do call does not matter.  Perhaps the agent with whom you were speaking with under the impression of an authorize/capture structure being in place. This will limit the final capture amount to the authorized amount +/- 20%.
Of course this is all turned on its head if you are passing the USERACTION=COMMIT variable which will "finalize" the payment on the PayPal page, while the DoExpress call is run transparently on your end. This will change the text on the button on the PayPal page to "Pay Now" instead of "Continue: You're almost done. You will confirm your payment on yourwebsitehere.com"
I hope this helps!

Last year's Palo Alto Chili Cook-off winner, MB's Place, dishes on how to make the best chili
Uploaded: Jul 1, 2020
Sadly, there will be no socially distanced version of the Palo Alto Chili Cook Off this year, a festive July 4th event that for decades has brought people to Mitchell Park to taste locally made chili.
Michael Brown, owner of MB's Place in San Carlos, took home the top spot at last year's Chili Cook Off. A panel of community judges voted his chili "Best Overall" in the annual competition.

Brown, a San Francisco native who grew up learning how to cook from his mother and grandmother in Pacifica, is effusively proud of his chili. It also took home awards at chili competitions in Pacifica and Castro Valley.
"Ultimately I have the best award-winning three-way chili in the entire world, I believe. But that's just what I believe," Brown said.
Brown's three-way chili gets its name from the three types of beans (black, white and kidney) and three types of meat (ground chuck; boneless, skinless chicken breast and filet mignon) he uses.

Brown started making chili last year. He had been thinking about his late father, who used to make chili from a frozen brick of meat and spices. He wanted to create a fresh, updated version using more than one meat. He made two gallons of chili and brought it to a gathering at a friend's house where a group of people, he said, went quiet after their first bites.
"When the conversation stops ... you know you're onto something," he said.
Good luck asking Brown for the full recipe; he holds that tight to his chest.
But he does have tips for home cooks who want to try their hand at making chili for the Fourth of July.
Using fresh ingredients is key, as well as consistency.
"Consistency is very important. Make sure you're using the same amount of each product you cook with," he said.
He cooks all the meat separately. He encouraged creative seasoning — "put your own twist on it" — with herbs like rosemary, thyme and cilantro.
Brown makes sure to constantly stand watch over the chili, stirring and seasoning until it's thickened.
"A common mistake people make is walking away from the kitchen and not stirring the pot. It's like a spaghetti sauce: You gotta keep stirring that pot, making sure nothing is sticking to the bottom," he said. (He also treats his pots and cooking utensils like old friends, talking to them while he's cooking.)
To check whether the chili has achieved the desired texture, he applies "the spatula challenge, which means if my wooden spatula doesn't stand up by itself in the middle of my three-way chili it's not thick enough."
Brown likes to top his chili with chopped red onions and shredded Colby-Jack cheese. (He'll reserve one corner of his bowl for the cheese so it doesn't melt over the entire surface.) Other options: Serve the chili over rice or with cornbread.
For Brown, cooking is his "family trade." His grandmother was a pastry chef at the Transamerica building in San Francisco, his mother was a cook at a retirement home for many years, his aunt ran a restaurant in San Francisco and his brother and sister-in-law owned a cupcake shop in the city.
He quickly graduated from his first-ever cooking experiment as a 4 year old — melting down Now and Later candy in the oven — to grilled cheeses, hamburgers and fried chicken. Brown later worked as a carver at Boston Market and helped out at his brother and sister-in-law's bakery while barbecuing seriously on the side.
In October, Brown was invited to serve his chili at the Palo Alto Black and White Ball. After the event, he found himself with five or six leftover gallons — too much to throw away or to give away for free. He decided to sell it at construction sites he drives to for work, which eventually became popular enough that he decided to start MB's Place, his catering business.
Brown said he's seen a recent spike in sales due to media lists encouraging people to support local Black-owned businesses in the wake of the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minnesota police.
Brown has been planning on purchasing a concession trailer to take his catering business on the road, and the increase in business means he'll be able to do that much sooner, he said.
He'll also soon be serving his three-way chili on Sundays at the San Carlos Farmers' Market, which remains temporarily closed due to the pandemic but is set to reopen soon.
Chili remains his most popular item, but MB's Place also serves other dishes including a vegetarian chili, fried chicken, tri tip, burgers and smoked meatball sandwich.
If laboring over a pot of beans and meat for the Fourth of July isn't your thing, you can order chili from Brown by calling 415-748-4222. MB's Place is also available for delivery on DoorDash, generally Tuesday-Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Chili today, hot tamale? Sorry, going stir crazy, I've been in confinement too long. However, in my endless quarantine, I've made Risotto with mushroom cakes from a recipe I learned from John Bentley. They can be frozen, then sauteed and served on demand.

Austin ISD Board Votes To Change Names Of Schools Honoring Confederate Figures
KUT 90.5 | By Claire McInerny
Published February 26, 2018 at 9:33 PM CST
Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon
AISD Superintendent Paul Cruz and school board members Kendall Pace and Julie Cowan listen to arguments over renaming Austin schools named for Confederate figures.
The Austin Independent School District's Board of Trustees voted Monday night to move forward with renaming five district buildings named for men who served in either the Confederate military or government.
Lanier, Reagan and Eastside Memorial high schools, Fulmore Middle School and the Allan Center will get new names.
The board voted 7-2 in favor of changing the names. Trustees Ann Teich and Julie Cowan opposed the measure.
The district asked the board to consider these name changes in November. Since then, a variety of opinions for and against the changes emerged from school communities and alumni.
The East Austin Coalition for Quality Education held a press conference before Monday's meeting, urging the board to change the names.
"When you support policies, programs and initiatives that continue a legacy of racism that we know to be true, anything that is not a statement or act to be anti-racist is a continuation of racism," the group's chairman, Kazique Prince, said.
Half the public comment centered around the issue.
"We have white-washed our history for too long," parent Maggie McGiffert said. "We have failed to teach our youth and ourselves the full history of our community. We have left out so many voices in the names of our schools."
Lanier teacher Medina Willis asked the board to vote against the proposal. Like a few other speakers, she was concerned about spending money on name changes rather than academic and facility needs.
"How can you say that changing names are social justice, yet ignore the inequities that are currently happening?" she said.
Tom Randall, who opposed changing the names, said he felt some of the namesakes, like Zachary Taylor Fulmore, shouldn't be defined by just his service in the Confederate military.
"He served on the Board of Trustees for the Texas School for the Blind," Randall said. "He campaigned, religiously, for public schools, free education for all."
But then it came time for the board to vote. Trustee Ted Gordon put forward the motion.
"Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, I will be the only African-American who has had the opportunity to vote on the appropriateness of naming AISD schools after such Confederate-associated individuals in our district's history," he said.
Almost every board member preceded his or her vote with an explanation. Trustee Yasmin Wagner said she was voting to rename the schools because some of them were named during the Jim Crow era.
"What was finally the clarifying moment for me," she said, "was to realize that at the end of the day, this really isn't about those individual men. It really is about the spirit with which those names were placed on that building, what was happening during the time that those names were appointed to those buildings."
Others echoed this reasoning.
Cowan, who voted against the name changes, said she felt the district and the board were imposing this change on communities that didn't ask for it. She called that a "top-down" approach.
Trustee Amber Elenz, who voted for the name change, said she was disappointed with the quickness and lack of clarity in the process
"I'm challenged to understand why the administration did not begin its work with deep, local conversations and soul searching," she said. "Such an approach could have played an exciting, unifying role in our vision of reinventing the urban school experience."
Others said that along with changing the names, the district has a lot of work to do in terms of equity for all of its students.
The district will now go to these school communities to get input on what the new names should be. Those naming committees will then present options to the board, which will make the final decision.

MANILA, Philippines - Remember Lenny Villa?
The Supreme Court, in a ruling dated February 1, found 5 members of the Aquila Legis fraternity guilty for the death of Leonardo "Lenny" Villa, an Ateneo law student who died of multiple injuries after undergoing hazing in 1991.
Villa's case 2 decades ago reminded the public of the dark side of hazing and hounded the Aquilia Legis, a fraternity of law students from the Ateneo, for years.
His death eventually led to the passage of Republic Act No. 8049, or the Anti-Hazing law.
In its latest ruling, however, the High Court's hands are tied; it cannot impose the maximum punishment of lifetime imprisonment on the 5 since the Anti-Hazing law was not yet passed when Villa died.
It also said the law should be amended to include the role of senior fraternity members and the factor of intoxication as "aggravating circumstances."
The SC's second division elevated the charges of the 4 guilty - Vincent Tecson, Junel Anthony Ama, Antonio Mariano Almeda, and Renato Bantug Jr. - from slight physical injuries to reckless imprudence resulting in homicide. It however downgraded the charge against Fidelito Dizon, from homicide to reckless imprudence resulting in homicide, saying Dizon's intent to kill Villa could not be proven beyond reasonable doubt.
Dizon was one of the 2 - along with Artemo Villareal - which the Court of Appeals found guilty of homicide in 2002.
Villareal appealed the CA ruling, but he died in 2011. Meanwhile, the CA established Dizon's intention to kill Villa from the testimony of witness Bienvenido Marquez, who said that Dizon zeroed in on Villa because the latter's father allegedly stole his father's parking space.
In the ruling penned by Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno, however, the second division declared that given the "factual milieu and contextual premise of the incident," Dizon only made the said allegation to raise the psychological pressure on the neophytes - which is part of hazing.
The SC, on the other hand, said the CA erred when it applied the High Court's decision in People v. Penesa in charging Tecson, Ama, Almeda and Bantug only with the offense of slight physical injuries.
In People v. Penesa, the SC ruled in 1948 that the accused, Timoteo Penesa, should only be charged with slight physical injuries instead of frustrated homicide because his assault on Santiago Cerrado did not cause "incapacity for labor nor required medical attendance."
But Villa died of cardiac arrest after he was repeatedly mauled.
"Considering that the CA found that the 'physical punishment heaped on [Lenny Villa was] serious in nature,' it was patently erroneous for the court to limit the criminal liability to slight physical injuries, which is a light felony," the SC said.
The SC sentenced the 5 frat members to 4 months up to 4 years in prison and ordered them to pay P1-M in moral damages and P50,000 indemnity.
The High Court, meanwhile, sustained the appellate court's 2006 ruling, which dismissed the case against 4 other Aquilans - Manuel Escalona II, Crisanto Saruca, Jr., Anselmo Adriano and Marcus Joel Ramos - because their right to speedy trial was violated.
The initial trial of the 4 was conducted 12 years after they were arraigned.
The SC noted the finding of the CA, which showed that the delay was caused by the prosecution's failure to secure the records of the case from the appellate court after the 4 were arraigned in 1993.
The SC also upheld the CA 2002 ruling which acquitted 19 of the 26 initially found guilty of the crime.
The Philippine Star then reported that the CA ruled out that there was consipiracy to commit a crime, because the neophytes knew that they would all be subjected to hazing.
In arguing for amendments to the Anti-Hazing law, the SC highlighted the fact that some of the fraternity members were drinking at the time of the initiation rites.
The SC also took note that Dizon and Villareal - both members of Aquila Legis - ordered that the initiation rites be conducted again.

The mansion was bought by John Platt in 1857. He greatly extended it and added to its demesne, creating an elegant North Wales estate. After JP's sudden death in 1872, the house was lived in by his son Sydney Platt. Mrs Sydney Platt apparently did not take to Bryn-y-Neuadd and it was offered for sale in the mid-1870s. However, the Sydney Platt's lived there until the mid-1880s, when it was sold to become a convalescent home to St Andrew's Hospital, Northampton.

Q: Calculating Autocorrelation in Different Zones I'm an intermediate-ish user of ArcGIS 10.2 (win7 pro, hardware robust enough to handle very large datasets and computationally intensive analysis) with perhaps a simple problem that's evading me right now.
I have a raster dataset with different classes of land values. I am interested in whether a dichotomous variable corresponding to presence/non-presence of a land classification is spatially clustered within different zones of a polygon feature. Basically I'd like to do something similar to tabulate area or zonal statistics, whereby I could obtain Moran's I for each individual zone in the feature class. To start I'd convert the raster to a polygon, but based on what I'm seeing I would have to compute Moran's I over the entire overlapping polygon with the 'zones,' rather than obtaining values for each individual one. (I could do it one by one, but this seems cumbersome.)


VMware Integrated OpenStack can use Virtual Distributed Switch (VDS) to provide basic L2 networking for tenant workloads.
In this model, the VMware Integrated OpenStack administrator creates a set of provider networks and shares them with tenants, who then connect their VMs to these networks.
VDS-based networking has limitations, including the inability of tenants to create their own private L2 networks, and the inability to deliver L3 and higher networking services such as virtual routers, security groups, and floating IPs.
A VMware Integrated OpenStack VDS deployment includes management and compute clusters with three principal networks.
Before you begin the VMware Integrated OpenStack deployment tasks, your system must comply with all hardware, software, networking, and storage requirements.

Kulturfabrik Esch-sur-Alzette (KuFa) is a cultural centre located in a former slaughterhouse in the city of Esch-sur-Alzette in Luxembourg. As of 2019, the state-funded centre attracts almost 80,000 visitors a year.

History

From the 1880s until 1979, the complex of buildings served as the public slaughterhouse house of the city of Esch-sur-Alzette. Then in 1982 the buildings were squatted by the Theater GmbH, which used the spaces for rehearsals and performances. In 1983, this was formalised by the creation of a non-profit organisation.
The Kulturfabrik became a cultural centre with state support in 1996. It received a renovation grant of 1.93 million euros and in 2002 was receiving 308,000 euros yearly to cover running costs. The Kulturfabrik opened officially in 1998.

Activities

The Kulturfabrik is used as a cultural centre for artist residencies and as a platform for sustainable development.
As of 2019, the centre attracts almost 80,000 visitors yearly. There are 21 employees on permanent contracts and 6 on fixed term contracts.

The music venue has a capacity of 900 people. The centre also has a cinema, a café and a restaurant.

The Ultimate Learning Resource: Say Hello to the New Notes!
Our latest feature upgrade is going to change the way you use ExamTime and change your attitude to online learning!
You can now combine the power of our learning tools with Notes. Read on to learn how Notes can become your focal point for your learning.
As you know, with ExamTime, you can create a variety of learning resources, including Mind Maps, Flashcards and Quizzes. Each of these learning tools have their benefits to help you learn. However, when exams are just around the corner and time is pressing, you might want to focus on revising using a single, comprehensive resource that encompasses everything you need to know in one place.
That is what our brand-new Notes are about. Your ultimate learning resource! We have completely redesigned them to be your go-to resource when it comes to that final revision for an exam.
We mentioned earlier that the new Notes include everything you need to be ready for the big day and we meant it! Up until now, you could add everything from images, multimedia elements and text to your online Notes and that was great. However, our development team has gone one step further and from today, you can also embed ExamTime resources into them!
As you can see, this gives you the ability to do a Quiz, flick through a Flashcard deck or play a related Mind Map without ever leaving your Note.
If you have an exam approaching, it's always advisable to have a one page summary to ensure that you know and can reproduce the key learning points. This becomes super easy to do now on ExamTime.
– Create a clipping to summarise the main points that you need to know.
– Embed a mind map on the topic, showing background and context.
The updated Note is also great for teachers or tutors. It allows you to pull together the key learning facts on a topic plus supply more in-depth knowledge for further learning.
Embedding resources is not the only new feature that we've added to our notes tool. Guided by your feedback, we've made a lot of further enhancements to make it easier for you to capture your learning points.
That was a very brief summary of how our new Notes can help you… We would now like to invite you to try them for yourself and let us know what you think!

How to make a brass instrument
Here's a clip from the semi-irregular segment called "Ask MrEquipment" that I do on CBC Radio Two's "Music and Company" with Tom Allen. Tom's show (which airs weekdays from 6-9 AM is wonderful and Tom (a bass trombonist and former McGill classmate) is a delight and makes the show what it is (along with his terrific colleagues).
Some people actually write in to the show and ask how different instruments are made or where things come from, and so on. Just listen to the audio by clicking and it should be self-explanatory.

How to Sell a Brass Mouthpiece
It's hard to find good help in music stores anymore, so I put this training video together about 10 years ago with my colleague Kris Hansen at Long & McQuade in Toronto. (Although Kris had never seen "Dragnet" before, I think he did very well.) Disclaimer: We did this after hours and this video in no way reflects Long & McQuade's staff training policies. It does illustrate, however, that the right mouthpiece can solve all your problems. (High note courtesy of Tasteebros.com).

Unicorn Festival
Location/Parking
Unicorns and Unicorn People are powered by imagination, magic and love. We love the world, we love people, and we love animals. This page gives us the opportunity to spread our love into the world, where it is needed most - to help out a few of the causes that are near and dear to our unicorn hearts.
Unicorn Rescue
The Unicorn Festival has partnered with Old McDonald Barnyard Animal Rescue, a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization, to help rescue, rehabilitate and find homes for horses ( aka unicorns not wearing their horns... Hopefully you have read 'Morgan and Me.' ) who are scheduled to be sold for slaughter as food in Mexico and other countries. The practice is illegal in the US, but each week, dozens of horses - most in good health - are bought at public auctions and shipped across the border to be slaughtered for food.
Here is the Press Release telling the story of how Unicorn Rescue came to be....
Colorado Unicorn Saved from Certain Death
Yabba was not having a good day. His Colorado-based owners had put the beautiful white horse up for auction, and he was slated to go to Mexico to be slaughtered and sold for food. Happily, the same day, organizers of the upcoming Unicorn Festival in Littleton, CO, had realized they needed another unicorn for their festival, to accommodate the expectation-shattering ticket sales. They contacted Nicole Henderson, who was supplying the unicorns, and found out that she was, that day, working to save the life of this beautiful white horse, and she could bring him to the Festival if she could raise the $850 needed to save him.
What happened next is one of those stories that … well…. Here goes….
The Unicorn Festival posted Yabba's tragic story on their Facebook pages, along with a donation button. It was Saturday night and the deadline to save him was Sunday morning at 9:00 am. But the donations started pouring in. Everyone wanted to save Yabba and give him a new life as a unicorn. And they did just that.
Yabba was rescued from the jaws of death and will be taken to Henderson's Old McDonald Barnyard Animal Rescue in northern Colorado, where he will be well taken care of.
Yabba's plight is, sadly, too common. Horse slaughter for food is illegal in the US, but not in other countries. Facebook no longer allows sales of live animals, so people looking to sell their horses are often forced to put the animals up for public auction. That's where the "kill buyers" try to purchase as many horses as they can to ship out of the country (usually to Mexico) to sell them to slaughterhouses where they are processed like cattle. Many rescue organizations exist and they always need help and donations to save as many horses as possible.
Henderson explains, "We work to pay the horses 'bail' off of the feed lot where they are fattened up prior to shipping to Mexico. The owner of the lot will sometimes sell some of these horses to recuse organizations at higher prices than he would get for them at slaughter. But not always. About 60 horses per week ship from his lot to slaughter."
Old McDonald Barnyard Animal Rescue is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to help neglected, abused, homeless, unwanted, and misunderstood barnyard animals. They also welcome animals who are very well cared for, but their families just can no longer keep them for a variety of different reasons. We can offer a safe home for horses, donkeys, pigs, goats, llamas, cows, chickens ducks, and rabbits. The group also encourages community participation and offer opportunities for education, volunteer days, special events, or the sponsorship of the animal of your choice. Visit their website and Like them on Facebook .
The Unicorn Festival is a celebration of the imagination and all things mythical, coming to Littleton's Clement Park (7306 W Bowles Ave, Littleton, CO 80123) on Sunday June 25th, 10am-6pm. The magical day will be filled with Unicorn rides, swimming Mermaids, meet and greets with beloved Princesses, wandering fairies, Quidditch matches and more! This is an enchanted event for the young and the young and heart, for families, cosplayers and anyone who loves imagination and fun! Interact with fairy tales and become part of the magic! Hosted by Dana Cain Event and Frolic and Vamp, the Festival offers affordable family fun.
Advance online tickets to the Unicorn Festival is $10 for adults; $5 for kids under 12 and kids under 2 years old are free. Group discounts are available for 10 or more. Ticket at the gate the day of the Festival will be $15 / $10. Clement Park is a gorgeous lake side park with an incredible view of the mountains, the perfect setting for a day of enchantment, fairy tales and unicorns!
Tickets and information are available online: www.unicornfestivalcolorado.com
Update: Yabba was scheduled to be at the Unicorn Festival, but he isn't quite well enough to attend. However, other rescued unicorns will be there. Yabba is feeling better and happier every day at his new home.
Unicorn People understand the power of wishes. So does the Make-a-Wish Foundation. The Colorado branch is headquartered not far from our Festival and we are SO PROUD to sponsor their booth and have them be a part of our day! We encourage everyone to visit their booth, and make a donation online or at the Festival.
The first tab on their website is about the power of WISHES. We love these people so much!!!!!
"We grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy."

(d) Notwithstanding any judgment or determination that an employee is permanently and totally disabled, if such employee subsequently has or receives any earnings, including, but not limited to, earnings from odd-lot employment, sheltered employment, or employment while working in any pain, such employee shall not receive benefits pursuant to this Paragraph but may receive benefits computed pursuant to Paragraph (3) of this Section, if applicable.
(e) The issue of permanent total disability provided herein shall not be adjudicated or determined while the employee is engaged in employment pursuant to R.S. 23:1226(G), but such employment shall not prevent adjudication or determination of the employee's right to any other benefits otherwise provided in this Chapter; however, the employee shall not by virtue of employment pursuant to R.S. 23:1226(G) be deprived of the right to determination or adjudication of permanent total disability herein at a time when he is not engaged in such employment.
(a)(i) For injury resulting in the employee's inability to earn wages equal to ninety percent or more of wages at time of injury, supplemental earnings benefits, payable monthly, equal to sixty-six and two-thirds percent of the difference between the average monthly wages at time of injury and average monthly wages earned or average monthly wages the employee is able to earn in any month thereafter in any employment or self-employment, whether or not the same or a similar occupation as that in which the employee was customarily engaged when injured and whether or not an occupation for which the employee at the time of the injury was particularly fitted by reason of education, training, and experience, such comparison to be made on a monthly basis.

(iii) When the employee retires; however, the period during which supplemental earnings benefits may be payable shall not be less than one hundred four weeks.
(e)(i) The fact that an employee has suffered previous disability, impairment, or disease, or received compensation therefor, shall not preclude him from receiving benefits for a subsequent injury or preclude benefits for death resulting therefrom.
(ii) If an employee receiving supplemental earnings benefits suffers a subsequent injury causing the payment of temporary total disability, permanent total disability, or supplemental earnings benefits, the combined benefits payable shall not exceed the maximum compensation rate in effect for temporary total disability at the time of the subsequent injury.

(f) Any compensable supplemental earnings benefits loss shall be reported by the employee to the insurer or self-insured employer within thirty days after the termination of the week for which such loss is claimed. The assistant secretary shall provide by rule for the reporting of supplemental earnings benefits loss by the injured worker and for the reporting of supplemental earnings benefits and payment of supplemental earnings benefits by the employer or insurer to the office and may prescribe forms for such reporting. The office, upon request by the employer or insurer, shall provide verification through unemployment compensation records under the Louisiana Employment Security Law of any claimed supplemental earnings benefits loss and shall obtain such verification from other states, if applicable.
(g) When an injured employee has been released to return to work with or without restrictions, and the employer maintains an established written and promulgated substance abuse policy which requires employer-administered drug testing prior to employment or return to work, upon the employee's failure to meet the requirements of such employer's established policy and inability to qualify for the position for that reason, the obligation for all benefits pursuant to this Chapter, with the sole exception of the obligation to provide reasonable and necessary medical treatment, shall be terminated and the employee shall be subject to the terms and conditions established in the employer's promulgated drug testing policy and program.

CDPR president: "We believe that in the long run Cyberpunk 2077... will sell for years"
By Heidi Nicholas, 26 Nov 2021
CD Projekt Red president Adam Kiciński believes "in the long run" that Cyberpunk 2077 "will be perceived as a very good game, and like our other titles, it will sell for years."
In an interview with Rzeczpospolita (via VGC), Kiciński says, "We believe that in the long run Cyberpunk 2077 will be perceived as a very good game, and like our other titles, it will sell for years — especially as the hardware gets more powerful over time and we improve the game."
The launch of Cyberpunk 2077 was troubled to say the least, and Kiciński notes this, adding, "We're proud of many aspects of the game, but as we know, not everything went our way. Nevertheless, the brand awareness of Cyberpunk that we've managed to build is huge, and the game universe, its characters and details have fans all over the world... We're working on updates all the time, and we're also working on a version for the latest generation of consoles. Of course, the original release taught us a lot. It gave us a kick and motivated us to make changes that will make us better in the future."
CDPR has already spoken of its plans to improve the game — earlier in the year CDPR said Cyberpunk 2077's performance and stability were now at a "satisfying level," and there are plans for more patches and updates for the game — although the last we heard was that these free updates and DLC had been delayed to 2022.
What do you think of Kiciński's comments? Will Cyberpunk's patches and DLC help it to sell for years? Let us know what you think in the comments!
