Who is leading the 5G patent race? July 2019 update – part one
The long-term vision is that 5G will empower the invention of thousands of new products, technologies and services, increase productivity and allow for new industries to emerge. A global 5G network will unify mobile communication in order to connect individuals and devices to everything through the Internet of Things (IoT), with 5G technologies linking vehicles, ships, buildings, meters, machines and other items with electronics, software, sensors and access to the Cloud. The past few years have shown that 3G and 4G patent holders have controlled how mobile technologies are used in the smartphone industry. Owners of 5G SEPs will likely become technology and market leaders, thus enabling 5G connectivity in various markets. Further, companies will have to use SEPs when implementing standardised 5G technology.
The IPlytics Platform integrates data from worldwide patents, SEP declarations, standards and contribution documents. The database shows patents that have been declared as essential for the 5G standard. Figure 1 illustrates how patent documents, declared SEPs, standards and contribution documents are integrated to allow a thorough analysis in all three connected databases. This approach allows the platform to precisely define whether a SEP declaration is 5G, 4G, or 3G relevant, or relevant for combinations of multiple standards generations. The following analysis is based on standards specifications that exclusively relate to 5G specifications.
Figure 1. Data integration of patents, declared SEPs, standards and contributions (IPlytics Platform, July 2019)
First, the IPlytics Platform’s database and analytics were used to count 5G declared SEP families as to the year of first priority, publication and application. Figure 2 illustrates an increasing number of 5G declared SEP families over the past five years. While the numbers have been increasing since 2015, the truncation effect of patents being published several months after the first application at the patent office must be taken into account. Further, there is a delay in publicly declaring patents as 5G standard.
Figure 2: Yearly number of declared SEP families for 5G as to year of first priority, publication and application (as of IPlytics Platform, July 2019)
The main impact of the implementation of 3G and 4G was on the smartphone industry, whereas 5G will enable the connectivity of many objects and vehicles across the world through the IoT. Any sector subject to connectivity (eg, transport, energy, manufacturing, healthcare and entertainment) will make use of 5G and therefore use 5G SEPs. Successful 3G and 4G patent licensing programmes have provided evidence that patent royalty incomes are highly lucrative. Further, the target market for licensing 5G patents will increase since 5G patent holders will be able to extend their licensing programmes to permit multiple uses (ie, uses other than smartphones).
Table 1 illustrates the top patent owner of 5G declared SEP families. The first column counts all patent families, the second column counts patent families where at least one patent has been filed at the USPTO, EPO or WIPO (worldwide Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application). In addition, the third column counts patent families where at least one patent was granted.
When looking at all 5G declared SEP families in the first column of Table 1, the Chinese company Huawei has the largest portfolio, followed by the Finnish company Nokia, the Chinese company ZTE and the South Korean companies LG and Samsung. Qualcomm and Intel are the largest US companies holding 5G declared SEPs, while Sharp and Fujitsu are the largest Japanese companies to do so. The order of patent portfolio size is similar when counting families that have been filed internationally (at the USPTO, EPO or under the PCT). However, when counting granted patent families, Nokia’s portfolio is the largest, followed by Samsung and LG. The Chinese companies Huawei (28%), ZTE (5%), China Academy of Telecommunication and Technology (CATT) (8.5%) and OPPO (16%) seem to have very low grant rates as of July 2019. However, the granting process may take several years. Since 5G is a recent technology, patents may have been filed very recently, but it can be assumed that many of the 5G declared patents will be granted in the future.
Table 1: Top patent owner of 5G declarations as to the number of patent families
|Declaring company||5G declared patent families||Filed at USPTO, EPO or under PCT||Granted|
|Nokia (incl Alcatel-Lucent)||1,516||1,484||1,134|
|Guangdong OPPO M Telec||222||208||36|
(IPlytics Platform, July 2019)
In order to get a better understanding of the age of 5G declared patent families, the IPlytics Platform was used to create additional counts of patent portfolios, as presented in Table 2. The first column again shows the total number of 5G declared patent families. The second column provides the average age of the patent portfolio as of the application year. When looking at the average age, Nokia seems to hold the oldest portfolio, which is on average 11 years old followed by Qualcomm with a 5G declared portfolio with an average age of 10 years. The Chinese companies ZTE, OPPO and Huawei all have considerably young 5G declared portfolios, which could also explain the low grant rates of the previous analysis. Also, Intel has rather recently filed patents declared as essential for 5G.
Table 2: Top patent owners of 5G declarations as to the age of the portfolio
|Declaring company||5G declared SEP families||Average age as to application year||Percentage with priority before 2012||Percentage declared to 4G or 3G before|
|Nokia (incl Alcatel-Lucent)||1,516||11,42||57,45%||79,01%|
|Guangdong OPPO M Telec||222||4,23||15,77%||0,00%|
(IPlytics Platform, July 2019)
According to interviews with engineers that are members of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) (ie, the consortium that develops the 5G standard), it can be assumed that the main ideas concerning the new 5G technologies were invented in the past five years (ie, after 2012). The IPlytics Platform was again used to calculate the percentage of patents where the priority year (ie, the year when the invention was first sent to the patent office) of the declared patent family was before 2012 (third column of Table 2). Here, Nokia (57%) has a high share of 5G declared patent families, where the earliest priority was before 2012. In comparison, ZTE, CATT and Intel have 5G declared patents that were mostly invented after 2012 (eg, within the time period that is considered the most likely to include new 5G inventions).
Finally, the IPlytics Platform tool was used to identify 5G declared patent families where at least one patent has already been declared to previous standards generations such as 2G, 3G or 4G. Of the 5G declared patent families owned by Nokia, 79% have already been declared to earlier standards generations. Samsung (77%), Intel (76%) and Qualcomm (74%) have similar high percentages of previously declared patents to earlier generations. However, one must consider that technologies among generations of standards may overlap. Even Intel’s considerably young portfolio has a high share of declared patents that were also declared to earlier standards generations (76%). In other words, newly patented inventions from the past five years may still be relevant to both 4G and 5G.

Petaluma in northern California has been a front runner in the fight against climate change. It was the first city in the US to ban the construction of new gas stations within its limits. It was also one of three winners in the $1 million grant initiative organized by the non-profit Empowerment Institute for 40 Californian cities. The two other winners were Los Angeles and Irvine.
The Cool Cities Challenge aimed to encourage cities’ participation in the race to achieve carbon neutrality in California by 2030. Empowerment Institute asked the participants to recruit a team of 25 community partner organizations and 200 block leaders to create a Climate Moonshot Strategy, including urging their councils to pass resolutions committing to California’s climate goal.

This month marks the beginning of my 18th year of going to the movies most every day of the week. During this time I`ve seen more than 4,000 first- run feature films.
I have often wondered what effect this may have had upon my brain, upon the way I view the world.
A corporate lawyer may look at contracts most of the day; in my typical day I see a car chase, a slimy monster, a bunch of horny teenagers, or a mad slasher. And they have left their impact.
For example, debates have raged about whether viewing violent films cause moviegoers to commit violent acts. Well, I figure I`ve seen at least a dozen filmed murders each week for the last 886 weeks. I was only 23 years old when the body count began.
Thus if violent films can affect us, I should be as dangerous as Jason in ``Friday the 13th.``
But take it from me--and you can because I`m a 200-pound weakling--the mental state of the moviegoer is more important than the movies.
But that`s in the long run. In the minutes immediately following some thoughtful violent films--``Taxi Driver`` comes to mind--I did find myself driving away from the theater in a fury, well over the speed limit.
With films containing mindless violence--``I Spit on Your Grave`` still haunts me--at first I`m repulsed, then numbed, and then saddened at the perverse use of the magic of film.
But if violent films haven`t made me more violent, I do believe they have made me more wary, coloring my perception of the world as a more violent place than it really is. Walking in the city late at night, I do imagine attacks; on the rare occasion I visit a bar, I do sense that a fight might break out at any minute.
What about that other staple of moviegoing--sex pictures? Having never seen a stag film as a kid, I must admit I was surprised along with a lot of other people when in 1971 I reviewed ``Man and Wife,`` the first major, explicit porno picture to play Chicago.
To be honest I learned a few things. I also recall interviewing sex therapists at the time who said that such films, as crude as they were, had the positive effect of bringing sex out of the dark. Oddly enough, Hollywood films over the last 17 years have taught me little about love.
So where have the lasting pleasures come from? Typically from walking into a movie without stars or a big publicity campaign and being dazzled.
I saw ``My Dinner with Andre``--in which two bright guys simply talk with each other over dinner for two hours--all alone in a screening room. The film still touches me, reminding me of the glorious pleasure of simple conversation.
A decade earlier another film with a virtual no-name cast, ``American Graffiti,`` also turned out to have a lasting impact. For me it was an object lesson in how much more fun high school kids could have if they would only break out of their cliques and self-images.
Because of the deluge of teenage films that ``Graffiti`` inspired, in some way I think the movies have kept me young. I mean, how many family men can carry on a conversation with kids about all six of the ``Friday the 13th`` pictures?
But the greatest effect of criticizing films for all of my adult life has been to turn me into an instant critic of everything.
I`m a terror when I visit a restaurant or a store for the first time, immediately commenting on the service and products, constantly suggesting ways to improve the operation.
Ultimately the job of being a critic for a long time creates a critical mind, if you didn`t have one in the first place.
I can`t stop it. It`s out of control.
Hey, you, reading this article: Your clothes don`t match.

Apple to introduce iPad 3 in March
San Francisco: Apple will introduce its latest iPad 3 here next month, media reports said Thursday.
The next generation iPad will have faster chips and better graphics, Xinhua reported quoting the technology news site AllThingsD.
It did not say when it will hit stores.
The new tablet, which will probably be named iPad 3, will feature a Retina Display or something close to it. The iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S have Retina Display.
As the human eye can only see around 300 pixels per inch, the screen of these smartphones have 326 pixels per inch, making texts and images look more similar to a high quality printed version.
It expected the device to follow the same schedule as that of the iPad 2, which was available for purchase about a week after the event.
Apple has declined to comment on the timing of the event.

The ability of moths to locate a member of the opposite sex, by tracking a wind-borne plume of odor molecules, is an amazing reality. Numerous scenarios exist where having this capability embedded into ground-based or aerial vehicles would be invaluable. The main crux of this thesis investigation is the development of a navigation algorithm which gives a UAV the ability to track a chemical plume to its source. Inspiration from the male moth's, in particular Manduca sexta, ability to successfully track a female's pheromone plume was used in the design of both 2-D and 3-D navigation algorithms. The algorithms were developed to guide autonomous vehicles to the source of a chemical plume. The algorithms were implemented using a variety of fuzzy controllers and ad hoc engineering approaches. The fuzzy controller was developed to estimate the location of a vehicle relative to the plume: coming into the plume, in the plume, exiting the plume, or out of the plume. The 2-D algorithm had a 60% to 90% success rate in reaching the source while certain versions of 3-D algorithm had success rates from 50% to 100%.

Sterling Planet Buys Voluntary Carbon Units
Sterling Planet recently agreed to purchase Voluntary Carbon Units (VCUs) from the Greenville County landfill gas utilization project, which is verified to the Voluntary Carbon Standard. Sterling believes these are the first VCUs issued in the U.S. marketplace.
The VCUs from the Greenville project will be added to the company’s retail carbon offset portfolio.
The project is estimated to prevent 6,000 metric tons of methane emissions, or 125,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually over the next 10 years. That’s the equivalent of removing 23,000 passenger vehicles from the roads annually, according to EPA data.
The Voluntary Carbon Standard was formed in 2007 by three of the biggest sellers and buyers of carbon offsets to distinguish offsets that are real from those that aren’t.
With so many different carbon offset standards to choose from, the Stockholm Environment Institute, recently wrote a report titled, “Making Sense of the Voluntary Carbon Market: A Comparison of Carbon Offset Standards,” to help gain an insight at the voluntary carbon offset market.

Chris Spolton, who runs the Topmarks site, removed the assignment earlier this week following a complaint by a mother, Joanne Bell. Her 7-year-old son had been instructed by his religious studies teacher at school to complete the assignment before Bell saw it and flagged it on social media, the Daily Mail reported Thursday.
“What harm has it ever done to portray Jews as bloodthirsty and solely responsible for the death of the believed son of G-d, Jesus,” she tweeted sarcastically.
The school whose teacher gave the assignment also apologized to Bell.
The assignment included a slide titled “The Trial of Jesus” saying that “the Jewish leaders wanted Jesus to be guilty” and “paid people to lie about him” and had him taken to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, on charges of insulting God. A second slide describes Pilate as bowing to the will of the Jewish masses and their “chief priests, who wanted Jesus to die,” before agreeing to have Jesus crucified.
The Catholic Church in a 1965 document titled Nostra Aetate asserted that “the Jewish authorities and those who followed their lead pressed for the death of Christ” but that this cannot be “charged” against Jews today or all the Jews who were alive during the Crucifixion.
Spolton made the slides 20 years ago when he was “young and naive,” he wrote to Bell, and “based on books found in the local library.”


Tatum O’Neal Was Put on ‘Psychiatric Hold’ After Alleged Suicide Attempt
New reports are alleging that actress Tatum O’Neal was recently suicidal and threatened to jump off the balcony of a home in Los Angeles last month.
According to TMZ, cops responded to a call for a suicidal person who said she wanted to jump and ended up transporting her to a local hospital.
The actress was reportedly put on “psychiatric hold’’ at the hospital for evaluation, though it’s still not clear when or where the incident occurred.

During some magical interviews, the hiring manager and candidate seem to “click.” They talk easily, have many things in common, and the hiring manager feels an emotional connection to the candidate.
Rather than providing comfort, this “connection” should raise red flags. After all, we have a positive bias for people similar to us.
Any job candidate has a vested interest in being liked by the hiring manager. In this context, appeal and charisma become means to an end. This is particularly true for extroverts who specialize in being gregarious and likable.
Our positive bias for people similar to us can also, unconsciously, create other biases such as gender and racial bias. It is a tendency to be aware of and guard against during the hiring process.
While being liked is certainly not a negative on its own, it is generally not a good sign when an interview moves quickly from a discussion of job requirements to more personal, entertaining topics.
The focus of an interview can become lost while savoring the social connection of the conversation. When this happens, the question of the candidate’s fit for the job in terms of temperament, coachability, and emotional intelligence can become lost.
A manager can easily mistake this likability for capability; unfortunately, that is a fallacious conclusion! By preparing for each interview with a list of characteristics for “fit” and focusing on questions that will elicit such information, managers can avoid this entertainment trap.
A related challenge is the manager’s own need to be liked. Leaders can mistake feeling good in an interview for positive candidate qualifications. When candidates praise the hiring manager, who they have just met, it can be a way of currying favor rather than showing genuine admiration.
When we hear something that we enjoy hearing, we tend to assign positive bias to the source. This is understandable. But those hiring managers who are vulnerable to this kind of adulation will often make choices based on the wrong set of criteria.
Ultimately, liking a candidate and being liked by a candidate should be only very small considerations in the final hiring decision.
THE TAKEAWAY: Although it’s okay to hire someone you like, it’s important not to hire a candidate because you like them. Beware the trap of likability!

The heads were sculpted out of a hard, dense rock called basalt. All later cultures, such as the Veracruz, Maya, Toltec, and Aztecs all borrowed from the Olmec. This is seen in their public works: the colossal heads are a good example. Archaeologists suggest a laborious process of slowly moving the stones, using a combination of raw manpower, sledges and, when possible, rafts on rivers. Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, Museo Comunitario de San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, "Behold the new de Young. Casellas Cañellas 2004, p. 176. http://www.appnetidx.com/2018/new-fortnite-cheat-undetected-aimbot-esp-skin-changer-free/. #1 Olmec culture was unknown to historians until the mid-19th century. A short strap descends from either side of the head to the ear. , In November 2017, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto donated a full-size replica of San Lorenzo Head 8 to the people of Belize. Buried in many locations throughout Olmec territory, about seventeen of them have currently been unearthed. However, this theory has been refuted now. We may also earn commissions on purchases from other retail websites. All portray mature individuals with fleshy cheeks, flat noses, and slightly crossed eyes; their physical characteristics correspond to a type that is still common among the inhabitants of Tabasco and Veracruz.  Head 3 has been moved to the Museo de Antropología de Xalapa.  The headdress is formed of 92 circular beads that completely cover the upper part of the head and descend across the sides and back. The Olmec heads are one of those archaeological artifacts that mainstream archaeology tries to avoid at all costs. A largely destroyed human figure rides upon each block, with their legs hanging over the side.  The monument was found lying on its back, facing the sky, and was excavated in 1946 by Stirling and Philip Drucker. Olmec colossal heads are one of the most remarkable icons of the ancient Olmec civilization. In addition to the gigantic heads, the Olmecs have left other pieces of great artistic value, such as thrones, altars and human figures and no other culture in Mesoamerica attained perfection and the level of mastery of the Olmecs when it comes to sculpting.  Most were formed from coarse grained dark grey basalt known as Cerro Cintepec basalt after a volcano in the range. The face is that of an ageing male with the forehead creased in a frown, wrinkles under the eyes, sagging cheeks and deep creases on either side of the nose.
Most of them are in regional museums close to where they were found, while two are in Mexico City.
 San Lorenzo Colossal Head 7 was reworked from a monumental throne; it was discovered by a joint archaeological project by the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia and Yale University, as a result of a magnetometer survey.  Two of the San Lorenzo heads had been re-carved from older thrones. The most talked about objects are without a doubt, the famous Olmec Heads weighing between 20 to 40 tons and reaching up to three meters in height. The forehead is gathered in a frown.  These heads are sculpted with relatively simple headdresses; they have squat, wide proportions and distinctive facial features.
For example, it is not known if the Olmec had books, like the Maya and Aztecs. The workforce would have included sculptors, labourers, overseers, boatmen, woodworkers and other artisans producing the tools to make and move the monument, in addition to the support needed to feed and otherwise attend to these workers. The Olmec had to get these massive boulders weighing many tons from the quarry to the workshops in the city. Its exact date of discovery is unknown but is estimated to have been some time in the 1940s, when it was struck by machinery being used to clear vegetation from Nestape hill. The backs of the monuments often are flat.
 The ears have been completely eroded away and the lips are damaged. , Stone representations of human heads from the Olmec civilization, San Lorenzo Colossal Head 6 in the Museo Nacional de Antropología, San Lorenzo Colossal Head 7 in the Museo de Antropología de Xalapa, San Lorenzo Colossal Head 8 in the Museo de Antropología in Xalapa, San Lorenzo Colossal Head 10 in the Museo Comunitario de San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán, Taube summarizes recent contributions to the debate at pp. The Olmec may have practiced human sacrifice: some human bones located at suspected sacred sites seem to confirm this. Their beauty is such that several replicas have been made and can be seen around the world. As a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, this site may earn from qualifying purchases.  Roughly spherical boulders were carefully selected to mimic the shape of a human head. Although researchers can’t say exactly who are the people depicted in these monuments, significant support exists for the theory that the faces in these colossal heads represent powerful Olmec rulers. Nevertheless, the most striking examples of Olmec art are the colossal heads. It was found lying on its side to the south of a monumental throne. These evocative stone face masks present both similarities and differences to the colossal heads. The seasonal and agricultural cycles and river levels needed to have been taken into account to plan the production of the monument and the whole project may well have taken years from beginning to end. It has sagging cheeks and wide eyes. Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores, 2 February 2010.  The band of the headdress is set at an angle and has a notch above the bridge of the nose. The oldest Olmec colossal heads have been recovered from the site of San Lorenzo, which was the first major center of the Olmec civilization. San Lorenzo had no peers or rivals: it was the largest and most magnificent city in Mesoamerica at the time and it exerted great influence in the region. A small skullcap tops the headdress. López, 13 January 2009.
 All of the Olmec colossal heads depict mature men with flat noses and fleshy cheeks; the eyes tend to be slightly crossed.  The headdress is decorated with a pair of human hands; a feathered ornament is carved at the back of the headband and two discs adorn the front.
, San Lorenzo Colossal Head 8 (also known as San Lorenzo Monument 61) stands 2.2 metres (7.2 ft) high; it measures 1.65 metres (5.4 ft) wide by 1.6 metres (5.2 ft) deep and weighs 13 tons. The Olmecs were extremely talented artists and sculptors: they produced many statues, masks, figurines, stelae, thrones and more. This process was so difficult that there are several examples of pieces being carved from earlier works; two of the San Lorenzo heads were carved out of an earlier throne.  The vandals were all members of an evangelical church and appeared to have been carrying out a supposed pre-Columbian ritual, during which salts, grape juice, and oil were thrown on the heads. Aw, this was a really nice post.  The regional terrain offers significant obstacles such as swamps and floodplains; avoiding these would have necessitated crossing undulating hill country. When excavated, it was found to be lying on its right-hand side and in a very good state of preservation. The backs of the heads are often flat, as if the monuments were originally placed against a wall. The Olmec heads occur at a number of Olmec sites and possibly one site outside the historically Olmec regions. However, it was impossible to transport heavier rocks using this method and Olmec probably made use of makeshift roads to move them across land routes. The Olmec heads are one of those archaeological artifacts that mainstream archaeology tries to avoid at all costs. Olmec civilization was the first to practice ritual bloodletting in Mesoamerica. How many people would have been used in the past to transport a rock that had a weight of over 40 tons? , Several colossal heads have been loaned to temporary exhibitions abroad; San Lorenzo Colossal Head 6 was loaned to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 1970. Much like the rest of the Olmec art, the depictions of the faces in these colossal heads are realistic and life-like.  At some point it was moved to the plaza of the modern village, probably in the early 1960s. The face is that of an ageing man with a creased forehead, low cheekbones and a prominent chin. 4, 154–157. Perhaps the most notable features of the sculptures – and a clue as to their meaning – are the helmets worn by all the Olmec heads. They were talented traders and artists, and their influence is quite clearly seen in later cultures like the Aztec and the Maya. Pool 2007, p. 7. One of the most extraordinary forms of Olmec art that has reached us are the colossal heads.
Mainstream researchers have proposed several theories that are open for debate.  Countering this, James Porter has claimed that the re-carving of the face of a colossal head into a niche figure is clearly evident.  The other head was found in Complex B to the south of the Great Pyramid, in a plaza that included a number of other sculptures. Earth structures such as mounds, platforms and causeways upon the plateau demonstrate that the Olmec possessed the necessary knowledge and could commit the resources to build large-scale earthworks. , San Lorenzo Colossal Head 3 is also known as San Lorenzo Monument 3.  It was discovered in a mountain pass in the Sierra de los Tuxtlas, on the north side of El Vigia volcano near to Santiago Tuxtla.  The head has been moved to the Museo del Estado de Tabasco in Villahermosa. The monument was discovered partially buried at the edge of a gully by Matthew Stirling in 1945. The head had collapsed into a ravine under its own weight and was found face down on its left hand side.
The Olmec civilization, which thrived along Mexico's Gulf Coast from about 1200 to 400 B.C., was the first major Mesoamerican culture.  The headdress is decorated with the talons or claws of either a jaguar or an eagle.  A massive stone head, possibly a portrait of the ruler who ordered the work. The spools have the form of a rounded square with a circular sunken central portion. I wonder how much effort you put to create such a fantastic informative website. , San Lorenzo Colossal Head 1 (also known as San Lorenzo Monument 1) was lying facing upwards when excavated. These sculptures have been found at a handful of archaeological sites, including La Venta and San Lorenzo.

One of the biggest supporters of the Toys for Joy program is the Elks Lodge based in East Stroudsburg.
Planning early, the lodge held a spaghetti dinner on Nov. 13 to raise money for the cause. They then presented Pocono Services for Families and Children a check for $750 (the Salvation Army and the Pleasant Valley Ecumenical Network also received monetary donations).
According to family engagement community leader, Jackie Lapping, Pocono Services for Families and Children has received an estimated $25,000 from Elks Lodge and other generous donors over the past eight years.
"I encourage people to donate because children that come from low-income families benefit so greatly from Toys for Joy. They are able to have Christmas, get gifts that they need and experience the joy of unwrapping a gift," Lapping said.
"Without the generosity of donors some children wouldn't be able to experience that. It's so heartwarming to be able to help families and it's a wonderful thing that we are able to do."
Pocono Services for Families and Children serves those living in Monroe County and distributes gifts to newborns - 11 years old, Lapping said.
Ways to give
On behalf of the Pocono Record, we'd like to thank our readers and our Monroe County community for your generosity.
Due to the impact of the pandemic, many families in our area are still struggling and the need for a campaign such as Toys for Joy is of the utmost importance this holiday season. Please consider easing their burden by giving to the cause.
Donations, which will be accepted through Dec. 24, must be made by check or money order only. No cash can be accepted.
Checks need to be made out to AllOne Charities and mailed to 83 East Union St., Wilkes Barre, PA 18701.

Dr Margi Prideaux writes: A few weeks ago, the great and the good convened in Nagoya, Japan to deliberate the future of our planet. Perhaps a little melodramatic, but in many ways it’s the truth. This 10th meeting of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) was every bit as important as the Climate Change meetings are. After all, the CBD itself is there to protect the genetic resources, ecosystems and species that we depend on for our quality of life and who share this planet with us. We need this protection to be sorted out, because we are devastating biodiversity at an alarming rate.
The compact that came from the meeting was long, and not surprisingly whittled into irrelevance by the incredible detail of negotiation that was applied to every word. The document is so precise, so exacting and limited in what it is prepared to say, it actually says very little. However, there are a few indicators of the direction the global community at least plans to go. One such directive is the new target for marine protected areas, that:
By 2020, at least … 10% of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well connected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscape and seascapes. (CBD Strategic Plan for Biodiversity for the Period 2011-2020: Target 11)
This is particularly pertinent for Australia because we are in the midst of deciding the level of protection to be applied to a large section of our coastline and offshore areas. The south-east declarations have been completed. Next is the south-west, from the eastern tip of Kangaroo Island to the waters off Shark Bay, then the north-west, the north and finally the east from the northern tip of Cape York to the New South Wales town of Bermagu.

We do this as a nation because pollution, over fishing, species entanglement in nets the destruction of important habitats, and the ecosystem devastation of oil spills are just some of the many threats to Australia’s remarkable marine life. If these threats continue unabated we risk joining the unprecedented global collapse of marine life where two-thirds of the world’s coral reefs are dead or dying and 90% of the world’s large fish have been fished-out.
Last week scientists from the University of Queensland have released a comprehensive and deep study, called Systematic Conservation Planning: A Network of Marine Sanctuaries for the South West Marine Region, gathering the best available scientific data and applying world leading design principles to their recommendations. The report identifies that 50% of the south-west region will need to be protected in a network of marine sanctuaries if the marine life is to remain healthy. For clarity, sanctuaries are areas where extractive uses such as commercial fishing and oil and gas are not allowed. Currently, less than 1% of the south-west region is protected from these threats.
At the same time 44 of Australia’s leading marine and social scientists in support of marine protection have released a consensus statement — “Scientific Principles for Design of Marine Protected Areas in Australia” — as a peer-level guidance on the selection, design, and implementation of marine protected areas. They concur that significant protection is needed.
Earlier this month another study by the University of Queensland provided a damning assessment of the success of Australia’s national parks, marine parks and nature reserves that are failing to adequately protect more than 80% of Australia’s threatened species. Their study detailed how the fundamental aim of securing species most at risk was not being achieved. Yet another recent study by the University of the Sunshine Coast revealed ancient, giant coral reefs found on Australia undersea mountains are being wiped out by trawling on the sea floor confirming the importance of maintaining and extending Australia’s marine protected areas.
Since moving to the Environment portfolio, Minister Tony Burke has said very little publicly about the roll-out of marine protected areas around the country. Perhaps this isn’t surprising given that, in their previous term, Labor dithered on everything marine related except championing whale protection internationally. They inherited a well established, Coalition developed, marine planning process but failed to deliver anything on water, eroding confidence and credibility. Combine this with the unfortunate and poorly informed Liberal and National ‘dog-fish whistles’ to fishers in tinnies during the election and recent history probably gives little confidence to the Minister in his new role.
None-the-less, the timelines still stand, and these decisions are important ones. Indications are that the Minister will make his first and crucial decision for the south-west region soon. A huge variety of fish, sharks, whales and seals live in the south west submerged mountain ranges, deep sea canyons and both cool and tropical coral reefs. These waters provide refuge for the magnificent blue, humpback, and southern right whales, as well as bottlenose, spotted and striped dolphins. All these things matter, but perhaps what matters more is that the level of protection that Minister decides to apply will define the level of protection that will be applied to the rest of Australia’s waters for the next 10 to 20 years.
Tim Nicol from the Conservation Council of Western Australia said that “the federal government now has the scientific evidence it needs to confidently make important decisions about the future health of the oceans and marine life in Australia’s south-west”. Add to this the international consensus and the decision would appear to be a clear cut case. His confidence should be high. If the Minister chooses the side of science he invests in the future. He will also take the first steps towards the largest conservation contribution in Australian history, delivering the biggest network of marine protected areas in the world. If he doesn’t, it will be a once in a lifetime opportunity lost.

Beaufort County Treasurer Joy Logan, who has been called on to resign by several of the county's elected officials, will be honored today by the S.C. Association of Countywide Elected Executives.
Logan will be recognized in a ceremony at 11 a.m. in the executive conference room of the Beaufort County government complex on Ribaut Road for "excellence in government," the association's Elizabeth Calhoun said in an e-mail Monday.
Logan is listed on the group's website as a S.C. Association of Countywide Elected Executives board member. The group is a professional organization of officials "elected to specific offices in each county of South Carolina," according to the website.
Logan has come under fire in recent months following embezzlement charges against one of her former employees and an audit of her office. Among those who have called on Logan to resign are state Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort. Also, the Beaufort County Council passed a resolution at its May 24 meeting calling for her resignation. All eight members present voted in favor of the measure.

First published at The Left Berlin (subsequently adapted)
When 85 demonstrators gathered in front of the Free University of Berlin on February 8, they were surrounded by an equal number of journalists. Reporters came from public and private broadcasters, with everyone from Al Jazeera to the far-right Epoch Times. Berlin’s FU has been at the center of a media circus, based on dubious claims that Jewish students are being intimidated by pro-Palestinian activists. Journalists flocked to the FU Palestine Committee’s rally in search of evidence, yet most were clearly disappointed that it was peaceful.
This same defamation campaign is taking place at univeristies in the United States as well, where Palestine solidarity activists are accused of intimidating Jewish students. In reality, there are many Jewish students opposing Israel’s genocial cmapaign.
After several months of reporting, we have yet to see any concrete evidence of intimidation at FU. What we have seen, instead, is very explicit documentation of threats, insults, and physical assaults by pro-Zionist students against the Palestine solidarity movement. At yesterday’s rally, a dozen or so counter-protestors — mostly German, non-Jewish young men — held up Israeli flags and heckled. The queer, Jewish moderator of the Gaza protest referred to them as a “Klan rally.”
Not a single newspaper report mentioned the Jewish activists who were speaking in solidarity with Palestine. As one student said in an earlier interview, “this cynical silencing of Bundist Jews is textbook antisemitism.”
At the end of the rally, Udi Raz of Jewish Voice for Peace was detained by police for “insulting” FU president Günther Ziegler. Raz speaks with a charming Hebrew accent in German and English, yet the Berliner Zeitung forgot to mention her Israeli background. On social media, we can see video of a Jewish FU student being dragged away by armed men acting on the orders of the university president. This would be the long-sought example of “intimidation” — yet the media has completely ignored it.
No Jewish Voices
If these journalists were actually interested, they could find numerous Jewish students at FU to tell them they are worried about being deported for their criticism of Israel. They are deeply concerned that state racism and support for genocide are being carried out in their names. But no — most newspapers chose to block out Jewish voices entirely.
Instead, the Tagesspiegel published a headline: “I’m not even Jewish and even I’m scared.” We hear from an anonymous, non-Jewish student, “I’m afraid what would happen if I were to confront these people.” She finds pro-Palestinian students “aggressive” and “intimidating,” adding that “I sit in seminars with these people.”
It’s easy to imagine the details. This young student agrees with the German government’s support for ethnic cleansing. In a seminar, another student (likely non-German) points to the International Court of Justice, which ruled that it is plausible that Israel is committing genocide and Germany is complicit. She is deeply upset to hear the implications of her support for Israel — so she demands that university authorities censor such opinions. And she wants repression, intended to protect her reactionary opinions, to be in the name of the Jews.
The Palestine rally at FU on February 8 was queer and international, with speeches in German and English. Conversations were held in at least half a dozen more languages. In speeches, Israelis and Palestinians expressed solidarity for each other.
Caro Vargas, one of the organizers of the rally and an activist of the Marxist students group Waffen der Kritik, drew a parallel between the genocide in Gaza and the rightward shift in Germany society: “The German government is making deportations easier, passing austerity budgets, spending more money on the military, giving the police more surveillance powers, and giving weapons to the Israeli army.” She continued: “The fight against the genocide in Gaza and the fight against the Right are inextricably linked. We want to build a clearly visible, anit-capitalist pole in the movement against the Far Right, which fights against the AfD but not only against them.”
Waffen der Kritik is the student group of Klasse Gegen Klasse, the sister site of Left Voice in Germany. These Trotskyist students organized the rally as part of the Palestne Committe. Waffen der Kritik also ran in the student elections with a pro-Palestinian profile, and won the second most votes.
When a speaker mentioned the 27,000 Gazans killed so far, a pro-Israeli heckler try to interject: “A hundred thousand! A million!” The pro-Zionist counter-protestors wanted to cast doubt on the facts. Yet the number of Palestinians killed is actually far higher, as many bodies remain trapped under rubble. How can that possibly be defended? What could justify killing over ten thousand children? In the face of such horrors, their only recourse is cynical denialism
This attitude is representative of the German media at large. They cannot find positive arguments to justify their unflinching support for mass murder. They know that at least 61 percent of people in Germany believe Israel’s war is not justified. Numerous claims have been debunked as absurd fabrications (remember the supposed Hamas command center under a hospital?). So rather than explaining why Israel deserves support, their only recourse is to smear anyone who opposes the war.
This has been effective, in a sense. While 61 percent of people in Germany tell pollsters they oppose the war, only tens of thousands have been taking the streets. Many Germans are too scared of accusations of antisemitism to voice their opinion.
Yet such a cynical campaign has a price. The media are erasing critical Jewish students at Free University, and elevating the voices of right-wing Germans who claim to speak for the Jews. This is a disturbing echo of Nazi leader Hermann Göring’s belief: “I decide who is a Jew!”
This allows all kinds of actual antisemitic violence to be swept under the rug. Last weekend, at a massive demonstration against the far-right AfD, Jewish activist Rachael Shapiro was spat at (!) for carrying an anti-Zionist sign. Her story has been viewed thousands of times on Instagram, but no German newspaper has reported on the attack, and no “Antisemitism Czar” has reached out to her.
The German government doesn’t care about Jews — it only seeks to instrumentalize them as it pursues its imperialist interests in the Middle East. That is why so many Jewish and non-Jewish students at FU are standing up against the genocide, despite the enormous defamation campaign.
Capitalist media can spread lies around the clock. But they’re not winning hearts and minds — and while they are spreading fear, it’s not enough to stop solidarity.

Last weekend, I was in San Francisco for my bachelorette party and a few of the girls were going to stay until Monday. Instead of coming all the way down to Cupertino, we opted to stay in the City and decided on the Courtyard Marriott Fisherman's Wharf since it was a) affordable, b) excellent location, c) clean and d) had free WiFi.
Cost: Standard (2 Queens): Daily: $149; 1 Bedroom Suite with Sofa Bed: Daily: $179
Location: Literally in the tourist heart of SF, one block from Fisherman's Wharf, two blocks from Ghiradelli Square, two blocks from the Cable Cars, one block from bike rentals to bike across the Golden Gate Bridge and a close jaunt to Union Square.
Fitness center and a Bistro on the second floor that serves Starbucks and breakfast until 10am. The Bistro serves your usual breakfast fare of eggs, muffins, fruit, granola, etc. The fitness center has your usual treadmills and stair climbers and faces the courtyard.
The Market for 24-hour snacking at reasonable prices where you can find beer, wine, snack foods, candy, etc.
There's a business center with books and free business services with printers, faxes, computers, and an area to print out Boarding Passes.They also have free WiFi througout the hotel for guests to use. Rooms also have a wired option that you can plug into as well, in case your laptop isn't WiFi friendly.
Valet Parking ($36/daily includes in and out privileges)
When we first got there, it was a bit early to check-in though my friend had arranged for early check-in online, the suite wasn't ready. However, the friendly staff took our bags and gave us bag claims. We ventured out into a beautiful, sunny SF day- the ones that are so rare that each time they happen, you just have to be outdoors, soaking it all up, truly enjoying the beauty of the City.
Must Sees Near the Hotel:
DINE: Restaurant #1: Las Margaritas, the name says it all. They had outdoor seating, fresh and delicious food, fantastic servers and possibly, best of all, a Mayan hangover cure. It's off the menu and it comes from the Mayan busboys who will only give you the recipe in Mayan. It works like a charm, all of us agreed and then, we dipped into our margaritas LOL.
Restaurant #2: The Franciscan was next on our stop with mussels and shrimp that came out sizzling on a cast iron skillet which we had with some local SF brews. This is a must do if you're going to stay at the Marriott, it's an institution of great SF seafood with pictures of classic and current stars lining the walls in black and white photos. Not to mention a great view of the Bay with Alcatraz in the background. The meals here are a bit pricey, so you may want to dress up a bit, if you'll be dining during dinner hours. Otherwise, sit at a booth for appetizers and drinks. The booths also have binoculars attached so you can get a close up view of Alcatraz.
Restaurant, well OK, dining spot #3: Crab Market.at Fisherman's Wharf If this list wasn't in chronological order, it'd be my #1. I take all my friends that are visiting SF here and it's totally worth the crowds. This is where you get your clam chowder in a sourdough bowl, the REAL San Francisco treat, and an Anchor Steam which will only set you back $6-$8. They also have fish and chips, calamari, cracked crab, or any other yummy seafood treats for cheap! My favorite is Guardino's and the classic Nick's.
Las Margaritas: above, has fantastic margaritas. 'Nuff said.
Fog Harbor: at Pier 39, a little tricky to find but, as you get into Pier 39, look to your left, there will be some stairs that lead directly up to Fog Harbor. The food here is really good but, I come for their drinks. They have an open air lounge with lounge couches and chairs, two waterfalls, and a huge fireplace. The managers never care if you rearrange the furniture to suit your needs, I do it every time I go there. Their drinks are strong and delicious and they have both a great wine list as well as a cocktail menu.
For drinks, pool and dancing: The Parlour is AWESOME! Our night ended up here when my girls wanted to stop in for shots on the way back to the hotel. Yeah, that's how they roll. It's right next door with a huge neon sign, BAR, on it and on Sunday night, it was the only thing open. We walked into The Parlour and saw a DJ and a pool table with little booths that each had their own flatscreen TV. The drinks were strong, the music was amazing (and I'm picky when it comes to DJs) and the crowd was random, just how I like it!
WINE TASTING! What would be a trip to SF without some wine tasting and there are a bunch of great tasting rooms in the City; however, for walking distance's sake- head to the Wattle Creek Winery at the Ghiradelli Square where tastings are $10 each off their regular menu or $20 off of their VIP list- each come with five tastings. That is, until you join their club- free to join, free tastings, and you can buy 2 bottles every 6 months which can run you only $36-$48. Once you join, Jesse (hi Jesse! You ROCK!), will just keep you plied with tastings until you make him stop. We had so many flights and walked out without paying anything, except for the bottle I bought for my friend for a belated b-day gift. Added bonus: it's next to Kara's Cupcakes (definitely worth a visit after the wine!).
Shopping: You've got the funky tourist shops that actually have quite a bit of cute stuff for good prices, Ghiradelli Square, and Pier 39 within walking distance of the hotel. Directly across from the hotel is a huge Levi's store with a big pair of jeans hanging out front. You're also a short distance to Union Square which has every imaginable department store or boutique you could ever want.
Enjoy your stay in the lovely San Francisco- my favorite City, so far!

Under the Scheme of Arrangement between The BOC Group plc and the Scheme Shareholders, the opportunity to elect to receive Linde AG Loan Notes was offered as an alternative to receipt of the cash consideration of 1600p per share.
Loan Note certificates were dispatched to holders on or around 19 September 2006 by post to the address registered with Equiniti (Registrar of the Linde Loan Notes).
Interest on the Loan Notes was due at 0.75% below the six month Sterling LIBOR rate in accordance with the Loan Note Instrument. The six month Sterling LIBOR rate at 1 July 2013 was 0.59988%, so the interest payment would have been negative 0.15012% at 31 December 2013. Consequently, no interest payment was made.
Final Redemption Date
The final redemption date for the Loan Notes was 31 December 2013. To enable the Company to make the repayment on 31 December 2013, Loan Note Holders were requested to complete the Notice of Redemption on the reverse of the Loan Note certificates and return them to the Registrar by 13 December 2013. Until Loan Note certificates with a validly completed Notice of Redemption have been lodged with the Registrar, Linde cannot make the repayment of the monies due to Loan Noteholders. Once your Loan Note certificates with a validly completed Notice of Redemption have been received by the Registrar, the cheque will be sent out as soon as possible.
If you are unable to locate your Loan Note certificates please telephone the helpline number below to request a Letter of Indemnity.
Further details of how to redeem Loan Notes are set out on the reverse of the Loan Note certificates. Should you have any queries concerning the final redemption, please contact the Registrar, Equiniti Limited, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex, BN99 6DA, United Kingdom or call the Telephone helpline: +0871 384 2260. The helpline is open between 8.30 am to 5.30 pm, Monday to Friday. Callers from outside of the United Kingdom should use +44 (0)121 415 7589.
Please note that restricted overseas persons (including residents of the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, Malaysia or New Zealand) were not entitled to receive Loan Notes and were only able to receive the cash consideration offered.
