Iris: Setting up a smart home gets a whole lot easier. This helps to monitor the home energy use as a kind of side benefit. One of the advantages of doing this security and home management stuff yourself (DIY) is that the likelihood of actually utilizing it, and utilizing it well increases. The cost is about $10 per month for more services and longer record times, however? This probably can’t replace the home monitoring system…
Pfizer — U.S. court invalidates Celebrex patent; generics loom | Reuters: Ouch!:-( Knocking the block of of the buster. Pfizer is taking a big hit with this court ruling against Celebrex patent.

Or, the flooding of the PTAB with requests for IPR (inter partes review procedure) to determine patent validity also…

But this year, we don’t just mark the day—we recommit to the journey. From Sustainability to Regeneration Sustainability was the starting point. But sustaining broken systems is no longer enough. We need to regenerate—our ecosystems, our communities, and our approach to progress. That’s the heart…
We at SustainZine look for things that are abnormal, things that are so inefficient and clearly irresponsible that they should be categorized as non-sustainable. We think the Criminal Justice system in the USA qualifies and non-sustainable. Question, what is a “normal” rate of incarceration for you citizens? And if you are a way out-of-control outlier to the other developed countries, does this represent non-sustainability. That is, if you don’t put anyone in jail, are you…
