If you're looking for an action / puzzle game that is different than anything you currently have on your iDevice, look no further than Gravity Chain. I was a bit skeptical at first, especially since the screen shots didn't really draw me in. Once I started playing, however, I realized this was the real deal. Unfortunately, its unique selling point is also its most frustrating, so it's a bit of a give and take situation. Still, if you can learn to overcome the temperamental controls (or just resolve to deal with them), Gravity Chain will provide you with plenty of challenging and often hair pulling fun. Continue reading…
Aside from the whole ordeal with building wings and flying too close to the sun, I don't know a whole lot about the tale of Icarus, so I'm not sure how accurate the intro to NyxQuest is. Regardless, it makes for interesting background in a tale with a twist that has you taking on the deity lover instead of the winged goofball. You must navigate the ruins of ancient Greece to find the missing inventor, but your journey will be no walk in the park. This game does violate one of my prime rules of portable platform games: don't make the levels too expansive. That said, it's an interesting affair that should certainly please most discerning platform gamers' palettes. Continue reading…
I used to start out reviews of Arkanoid style games with something along the lines of "I'm not a real fan of this genre, but…". The more I play this type of game on mobile devices, however, the more I realize that it can actually be quite entertaining, provided it brings something a bit different to the table. Welcome to the world of Anodia. You can't get much different from your average brick breaker than to make a brick breaker with no bricks! Unique level designs and a couple of interesting power ups set this Arkanoid clone above the rest, including Arkanoid itself.
I'm generally not a big fan of the puzzle platform genre; it just feels somewhat outdated to me as a concept. I understand the nostalgia that powers a lot of the sales behind it, but am an alien to it myself. The truth is – almost everything that could have been dreamed up, already has been. Or so I thought before trying out Cavorite, a recent addition to the App Store with a unique concept wrapped beneath seemingly traditional graphics.
The epic war between pork and poultry has finally wormed its way into the line drawing genre of games thanks to the fine folks over at Pan Vision AB / Tactile Entertainment. I never knew that pigs lived in trees, but apparently they do and the woodpeckers don't like it. The premise is quirky, but the visuals are fun and the game itself is quite challenging. The different types of birds also bring some interesting elements into play. If you thought you were done with the whole pig / bird conflict, here's a good enough reason to join the fight once again.
Reviewing Flick Golf! (TMA Review) a few months ago I was absolutely thrilled by the new and original spin (pardon the pun) on the genre. Distilling the essence of one of the most aristocratic sports to a simple flick of the finger is pure genius. Well, Tiger Woods, it's time to eat your golf club, as Flick Golf Extreme! takes the same unique gameplay and offers to go dunk the golf balls from helicopters and skyscrapers for the ultimate golf experience.
The Last Ace of Space is the epic story of a cat, his flying pig, and the big green slime that wants to eat them both. The atmosphere reminds me of what might happen if Don Bluth made an infinite running game. The action, however, is a far cry from the simple "tap to jump" that dominates most infinite run games. My only concern is that it might be a bit overwhelming for the particular genre it competes in. It is certainly unique for this style of game, but robs the genre of one of its compelling points – simplicity.
I'm beginning to feel like a broken record, but the reality is that a game in the App Store these days has to stand out to have any chance at success. Luckily, Angry Business Man is a very different sort of constant running game. The premise is simple: the bus failed to stop and pick you up, so now you have to catch it. The game handles the running for you, and the only obstacle to worry about are randomly placed traffic cones that you jump by tapping on the screen. There are two things that make Angry Business Man a bit different game play wise. The first is that the landscape is 360 degrees. Yes, you might not want to play with headphones on, because you'll often find yourself rotating your device such that headphones will simply get tangled.
Why did the chicken cross the road? If you're doing your job right, you shouldn't have to answer that question. Egg vs. Chicken is an interesting mash up of match 3 and tower defense that actually manages to blend the two genres fairly seamlessly. The cartoon quality visuals and 70s action TV show theme music make for a wacky atmosphere that serves a game like this well. I just wouldn't expect too much depth from the game beyond trying to maximize your score via combos. Continue reading…
There's been a lot of positive buzz about Storm in a Teacup, both before and after the first time I attempted to play it. After muddling through the first 2 levels I just didn't get the appeal of the game. Luckily I had committed to reviewing it, so I forced myself to pick it back up and move on to level 3. It didn't take long for me to realize that this is one of the best platform games I've got on my device right now. I think the visuals sometimes border on amateurish, and I'll get to the music later, but overall I am so glad I stuck with it to see what the game had to offer.

I was just wondering if anyone knew of how much it cost to change the width of an Amerigo tree, and places where I can get it done? I'm waiting to hear back from a couple of Amerigo dealers/reps but just need some back ups if they don't work out or at least an idea of the price range I'm looking at until they are able to get back to me. The saddle has never been altered and is currently a M needing to be changed to a MW.
Thanks everyone :)
Thanks everyone :)

In Pakistan, household consumption is used as a welfare indicator. Poverty lines are the thresholds that separate the poor from the non-poor
The main goal of economic development is improving the economic well being of a community through efforts that entail job creation, job retention, tax base enhancements and improving quality of life. As there is no single definition for economic development, there is no single strategy, policy or programme for achieving successful economic development. Communities differ in their geographic and political strengths and weaknesses. Each community, therefore, will have a unique set of challenges for economic development.
The study of inequality from the economic perspective cannot be analysed as a single topic or even as a phenomenon to be approached from a generalised theoretical view when trying to understand the correct way to be interpreted, measured or even defined. Regardless of the etymological origin, which basically denotes the absence of equality, the understanding of this term can be generally related to a negative connotation for the distribution of whatever assignation of interest to a defined group of recipient units (commonly individuals, households, countries or any other combination of units that can be defined as identifiable entities). This negative connotation is commonly associated to considerations of justice, seeing the referred absence as a sign of unfairness; in other words, tacitly elevating the concept of equality to the rank of a positive ethical value.
In order to be a subject of analysis, the absence referred to by the etymological definition of inequality must necessarily be associated to another measurable element, which is normally the unit we will measure and try to objectively evaluate in relation to other distributions of the same elements, the most common examples being income, wealth and consumption, as well as other normative elements such as welfare and utility. In this way, the objective of any study on inequality must invariably be focused precisely on the chosen element of reference, as inequality (as a topic) represents only the value judgment of the absence of a homogeneous distribution of such element. In this context, for example, the study of gender, race, opportunities or income inequality are the chosen elements (the ones to measure and compare), and their distribution is the condition we will evaluate in relation to our judgment on its goodness or badness.
Official poverty estimates have shown that poverty declined from 34.4 percent in 2000-2001 to 22.3 percent in 2005-2006 and, subsequently, from 22.3 percent in 2005-2006 to around 12.4 percent in 2010-2011, with 7.1 percent in urban areas and 15.1 percent in rural areas. The declining trend in poverty as seen in Pakistan during the 1970s and 1980s was reversed in the 1990s by poor federal policies and rampant corruption. This phenomenon has been referred to as the poverty bomb.
In Pakistan, household consumption is used as a welfare indicator. Poverty lines are the thresholds that separate the poor from the non-poor. The ministry of planning, development and reform measures poverty on the consumption-based approach using data from the Household Integrated Economic Survey (HIES). The official poverty line in Pakistan is calorie-based and consumption-based absolute poverty is estimated after converting the household consumption level to the adult equivalent based on the recommended nutritional requirements of 2,350 calories per person per day and providing an almost equivalent amount for other basic needs.
Using HIES' 1998-1999 data, the planning commission estimated the absolute poverty line as being Rs 673.50 per month per adult equivalent. The commission has adjusted the poverty line for the 2000-2001, 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 periods using the Consumer Price Index (CPI). In 2004-2005, the official poverty line was Rs 878.64 per month per adult and in 2005-2006 the inflation adjusted official poverty line was Rs 944.5 per month per adult equivalent. The adjusted official poverty line for 2007-2008 was Rs 1,140 per month per adult equivalent. More recently, the Planning Commission adjusted the official poverty line for 2010-2011 at Rs 1,745 per month per adult equivalent.
Recently, the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) developed the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) to reflect the multiple deprivations that a poor person faces with respect to education, health and living standards. The government of Pakistan in collaboration with the United Nations Development Project (UNDP) is trying to develop an MPI for Pakistan.
The present government of the PML-N has developed a comprehensive poverty reduction strategy, which is primarily built upon nine pillars such as macroeconomic stability and real sector growth, protecting the poor and the vulnerable, increasing productivity and value addition in agriculture, integrated energy development programmes, making industry internationally competitive, human development for the 21st century, removing infrastructure bottlenecks through public private partnerships, capital and finance for development, and governance for a just and fair system.
There have been many programmes run by governments in succession like rural development programmes, land reforms, social welfare programmes, social securities, Pakistan's bait-ul-maal, the Benazir Income Support Programme and much more. Some of them were continued only for a specific period while others have been refined and further strengthened and are being continued. Some have been replaced with the new one. However, these programmes, to some extent, helped people skip out of the poverty web through multi-dimensional approaches. By involving multiple graduation strategies, resilience against various shocks and long-term planning for human capital development was built.
It is a proven fact that the nature of poverty in Pakistan is mostly transient, which means that the poor reflect a trend of going above and below the poverty line at times. Poverty can be fought only through a special package of policy measures designed to accelerate growth both in the agricultural and industrial sectors, launch new employment generation programmes and ensure a more equitable distribution of national income. Effective and monitored steps by the government are required to help reduce poverty and increase income generation.

SANDRA ANN CHAMBERS PLAINTIFF,v.ARUN ENTERPRISES, INC., ET AL. DEFENDANT.
Plaintiff Sandra Ann Chambers ("Chambers") filed a nineteen-count complaint alleging various federal and state law claims against Arun Enterprises, Inc. and its officers ("Arun Parties"), the Law Offices of Kameli & Associates, P.C. and its officers ("Kameli Law Offices"), and the City of Chicago. Presently before this Court are the motions of the Arun Parties and Kameli Law Offices ("Movants") to dismiss this action under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). For the reasons stated below, Movants' motions are DENIED.
I. FACTUAL BACKGROUND*fn1
From December 2003 through September 2004, the Plaintiff rented space from Headrest Unisex in and around the 1 Quincy Court building at 220 South State Street. Difficulties began when the building's security officers, employees of Arun Enterprises Ltd. ("Arun") named Brian Leonard and Theodore Collie, became upset with Chambers's reluctance to support their efforts to have a supervisor, Lateresa Chantler, removed. In retaliation, the two officers began to harass the Plaintiff and limit her access to the building. When the Plaintiff approached Arun supervisors with this problem they were initially receptive, but when she mentioned that her only other recourse was to file a lawsuit they became confrontational. Additional parties in the building, such as Raynie Jackson, became motivated to help remove the perceived troublemaker. An offer to rent a different space in the building was rejected and the Plaintiff was physically prevented from recovering her belongings. At this point, her efforts to have police assist her were thwarted by Kameli Law Offices, which helped portray her as having been properly evicted from the premises. All named parties prevented, or were associated with those who prevented, Plaintiff from accessing the spaces in which she had previously worked, or from renting additional space of her own.
In November, 2005, Chambers filed the instant case under § 1331 subject matter jurisdiction. The Complaint as it now stands contains eleven counts,*fn2 all of which are brought against all defendants in their individual and official capacities, except for Theodore Collie and Phil Cline, against whom claims are brought only in their individual capacities. Due to the denial of a commercial lease, restriction of building access, and seizure of property without due process, by which Defendants retaliated against the Plaintiff, she now brings the following claims:
Count 1: Racial and Gender Discrimination under 42 U.S.C.A. § 1981
Count 2: Discriminatory Infringement on Property Rights under 42 U.S.C.A. § 1982
Counts 3-7: Denial of Constitutionally-protected Rights under 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983
Counts 8-10: Denial of Constitutionally-protected Rights under the 14th Amendment
Count 11: Conspiracy to Deny Civil Rights under 42 § U.S.C.A. 1985
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), Movants assert that the Plaintiff fails to state a claim on which relief can be granted. They contend that there is no basis by which an intent to discriminate could be inferred from the alleged actions of the Defendants, and that there is no factual basis for state action or color of law by which § 1983 or 14th Amendment protections can be invoked. Plaintiff disagrees, stating that her complaint complies with the notice pleading standard and the liberal interpretation appropriate for a pro se plaintiff's complaint.
On a motion to dismiss, the Court accepts all well-pleaded allegations in the plaintiff's complaint as true. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). The purpose of a 12(b)(6) motion is to decide the adequacy of the complaint, not to determine the merits of the case. Gibson v. City of Chicago, 910 F.2d 1510, 1520 (7th Cir. 1990) (citation omitted). A complaint should not be dismissed "unless it appears beyond all doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief." Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 45-46, 78 S.Ct. 99, 102, 2 L.Ed.2d 80 (1957). Any ambiguities are construed in favor of the plaintiff. Curtis v. Bembenek, 48 F.3d 281, 283 (7th Cir. 1995). However, the court need "not strain to find inferences favorable to the plaintiffs which are not apparent on the face of th[e] . . . complaint." Coates v. Illinois State Bd. of Ed., 559 F.2d 445, 447 (7th Cir. 1977).
A complaint that complies with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure cannot be dismissed because it fails to allege facts. The Rules require simply that the complaint state a claim, rather than plead facts that would establish the validity of that claim. Higgs v. Carver, 286 F.3d 437, 439 (7th Cir. 2002). "All that need be specified are the bare minimum facts necessary to put the defendant on notice of the claim so that he can file an answer. Id. (citing Beanstalk Group, Inc. v. AM General Corp., 283 F.3d 856, 863 (7th Cir. 2002)). The Seventh Circuit has ruled that stating a claim in federal court requires only "a short statement, in plain (that is, non-legalistic) English, of the legal claim." Kirksey v. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., 168 F.3d 1039, 1041 (7th Cir. 1999). Plaintiffs "don't have to file long complaints, don't have to plead facts, don't have to plead legal theories." Id.
Where a plaintiff is proceeding pro se, as Chambers is doing here, the Court has a heightened responsibility to construe the complaint liberally. See Donald v. Cook County Sheriff's Dep't, 95 F.3d 548, 555 (7th Cir. 1996). A pro se plaintiff may plead himself out of court, however, by pleading facts that undermine his case. Henderson v. Sheahan, 196 F.3d 839, 846 (7th Cir. 1999).
In their Motions to Dismiss pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), Kamelia Law Offices and the Arun Parties maintain that the Plaintiff's claims under Counts I and II, based on 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981-82, fail because the complaint lacks evidence of intentional discrimination. Similarly, Movants maintain that Count III, brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, should be dismissed because no asserted facts establish that the actions were done under color of law, a necessary element for that claim. They also seek to dismiss Counts IV through VII, on the grounds that there is no allegation of state action.
Plaintiff correctly points out that her complaint includes allegations of the required elements. For example, Counts I through III allege that "knowing and intentional actions were carried out under color of law , were overt acts, were motivated by racial and gender animus," (Cpt.¶¶ 285, 296, 309), which is referenced in all remaining counts, while Counts III through VII additionally allege that defendants were guilty of "treating her differently than they would have treated a male...[a]cting under gender-based stereotypes of females" and "treating her differently than they would have treated a white person...[a]cting under race-based stereotypes of black people" (Cpt. ¶¶ 309, 321, 332, 343, 354). The fact that the use of identical language in multiple counts may indicate boilerplate language is not fatal to the claims.
Movants' motion to dismiss is based on the general lack of factual support for Chambers's conclusions regarding disciminatory intent and the presence of state authority. While a lack of factual support may undermine Plaintiff's case at later stages, the standard for 12(b)(6) review states clearly that the plaintiff is not required to settle the facts or prove her claims, but must merely allege all elements of the crime so as to give defendants notice. Higgs, 286 F.3d at 439. Contrary to the Movants' claims, Plaintiff does allege in her complaint that actions were taken with an intent to discriminate, that this was based on racial and gender-based animus, and that it was done under color of law. Whether Plaintiff can prove these elements is an issue for another day, but as far as these motions are concerned she has stated a claim upon which relief can be granted.
Movants also contend that Counts VIII through X, arising under the 14th amendment, fail to state a claim due to Plaintiff's failure to allege that "state action" was involved. Again, Plaintiff's allegations on this point are admittedly vague and conclusory, incorporating only a generic statement that actions were done "under color of law." However, these failings do not warrant dismissal. Whether or not there is adequate factual support to establish the involvement of state authority is a question of fact that need not to be addressed in a motion to dismiss, although Plaintiff should note that alleging facts and legal conclusions without a good faith basis could subject her to monetary sanctions. Kameli Law Offices and the Arun Parties also move to dismiss Count XI on the grounds that no meeting of the minds has been shown, but once again this misstates the task that now stands before the plaintiff; it is sufficient for the sake of these motions that the Complaint clearly alleges that such a meeting took place. Defendants' motions to dismiss Counts I through XI are therefore DENIED.
Defendants also move to dismiss Counts XII through XIX on various grounds, but this court has already stricken these state law claims. Defendants' motions with respect to these claims is therefore DENIED as moot.
For the reasons stated herein, the Motions to Dismiss of Arun Enterprises, Ltd., et al., and the Law Offices of Kameli & Associates, P.C., are DENIED.

Excerpt from Minutes of the Fifth Convention O the Olive Branch Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church: Of the State of Indiana, Held in Lodoga, Montgomery Country, Indiana, September 24th 28th, A. D., 1852 Brethren: Through another Synodical year, the fostering care of our Gracious heavenly Father, has been extended over us, so that we are able to meet here for the purpose of deliberating upon the important affairs of the Redeemer's Kingdom. Although from other Synods a number of our beloved brethren have been called from their labors below, to their reward in heaven- and some of the churches in our bounds mourn the loss of members, who since our last meeting have exchanged their seats in the church melitant, for higher and happier ones in the church triumphant - yet our ministerial ranks have not been invaded by death, for which our heartfelt thanks are due to the Lord our Preserver and mighty Deliverer. Our beloved and efficient brother Myers, the President of this Synod having removed to the Pacific, it becomes my duty according to the 10th Section of the 3rd Article of the Constitution to succeed him and discharge the duties of the President which I have tried to do, from the time of his removal early last Spring, up to this date and now proceed to perform his last duty for this Synodical year, by laying before you this brief report. Lutheran Churches have been organized in our bounds this year, as follows: - Two by your Evangelist, one in Peru of forty members, and one in Cass Co. numbering fifteen members. Three by Rev. S. McReynolds in Carroll County, numbering about 60 members in all. And one by Rev. O. Brown in Wyandott, Tippecanoe Co., Ind. The Rev. Messrs. Laitzle, Wolf and Howbert having removed into the bounds of other Synods have by their request been regularly dismissed from this body and the Rev. Exline by permission of the President has removed from Benton Ind. to Berrien Mich. Rev. Templin being afflicted so that he could no longer perform the duties of a Pastor, resigned his charge last April.

The real reason you can't say no to that final slice of pizza
Your takeaway favourite is actually addictive
Via: Getty
It's official. Your Friday night crispy-based three cheese pizza? Addictive. Likewise: cookies, ice-cream and crisps.
In news that will come as zero shock to anyone ever, researchers from the University of Michigan, US, have discovered that the foods we find near impossible to put down are those that are the most highly processed.
Cheese-laden wheels of joy, chocolate brownie Ben & Jerry's, and family bags of salt and vinegar crisps all came out on top on the addictive list.
For the study, two teams of 120 students were presented with a list of foods covering everything from cake to cucumber. The participants were then asked to grade each item on the Yale food addiction scale, citing which they find problematic to resist eating and which they don't.
Despite only 7% of the students meeting the criteria to qualify as "food addicts", 92% expressed a desire to stop eating the processed foods but felt that they couldn't.
Of the findings, the study's authors said: "Highly processed foods, or foods with added amounts of fat and/or refined carbohydrates, were most associated with addictive-like eating behaviours. Nine out of the 10 foods at the top of the list were highly processed, and high in both fat and refined carbohydrates."
Here's the full list of the foods tested, and how addictive they were found to be.
1. Pizza
2. Chocolate
3. Chips
4. Cookie
5. Ice-cream
6. French fries
7. Cheeseburger

"Imperial Cathedral Speyer" Top 5 Page for this destination Cathedral - Kaiserdom Tip by scottishvisitor
Cathedral - Kaiserdom, Speyer: 43 reviews and 144 photos
Konrad ll commissioned the building of Kaiserdom in 1030., known also as the Imperial Cathedral it was not until 1061 the Basillica was consecrated and dedicated to St. Mary. For nine hundred years of its history, the Cathedral was the last resting place of German Emperors. The Cathedral is a joy to behold with its Romanesque style of red sandstone which really sparkles and shines when the sun hits it, built in the shape of a Latin Cross. A unique feature of the Cathedral is the colonnade gallery near the top which allows visitors to walk around the entire Church with great views of the city but only on one day of the year. The day we visited was a very special one with crowds of pilgrims, clergy and tourists joined together for a Beatification in and around the Cathedral. The Carillons sang out into a clear blue sky - they say 'When a Church bell rings an Angel receives their wings' - there must have been a lot of Angles flying around on a special day in Speyer.
Address: Dom plaz
Directions: You can't miss it - the Cathedral really does dominate here in Speyer

The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to simplify and streamline our lives by automating routine tasks that distract us from our goals. This promise is based on the ubiquitous deployment of smart, connected devices that link everything from industrial control systems to automobiles to refrigerators. Unfortunately, comparatively few of the devices currently deployed have been developed with an eye toward security, and as the DDoS attacks of late October 2016 have demonstrated, this oversight can ...

Major trends and emerging technologies – from virtual reality and IoT, to Big Data and algorithms – are helping organizations innovate in the digital era. However, to create real business value, IT must think beyond the 'what' of digital transformation to the 'how' to harness emerging trends, innovation and disruption. Architecture is the key that underpins and ties all these efforts together. In the digital age, it's important to invest in architecture, extend the enterprise footprint to the cl...

More and more brands have jumped on the IoT bandwagon. We have an excess of wearables – activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no idea what "IoT" means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users should be. We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it swung toward "smart for smar...

March 15, 1967
RAYMOND HOPKINS, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT,v.JOHN W. GARDNER, SECRETARY OF HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WELFARE, DEFENDANT-APPELLEE
Hastings, Chief Judge, and Fairchild and Cummings, Circuit Judges.
FAIRCHILD, Circuit Judge.
This appeal, brought in reality by attorney Allen Sharp, involves Sharp's claim that the district court erroneously limited his fee for services in an action to review an administrative decision suspending insurance benefits under the social security act. The problem is the construction of a statute, enacted in 1965, authorizing the court to allow a reasonable attorney's fee where, in such action, a judgment favorable to a claimant is recovered, the fee not to be "in excess of 25 percent of the total of the past-due benefits to which the claimant is entitled by reason of such judgment."*fn1
The secretary contends that the statute applies to all judgments entered after the statute was enacted, and that the 25 percent maximum must be computed upon the total of the past-due benefits to which plaintiff was individually entitled. Sharp contends that the statute was not intended to apply in a case where the fee had been agreed upon before the statute was enacted, but that if it be applicable, the 25 percent is to be computed upon an amount which includes the past-due benefits to which plaintiff's wife and children were entitled, as well as plaintiff's own.
In 1961 and 1962, Raymond Hopkins was receiving disability insurance benefits under the social security act, and his wife and children were receiving the benefits provided by the act for the wife and dependent children of an individual entitled to disability insurance benefits. Late in 1962 the department notified Hopkins that it considered him able to do substantial gainful work and that December, 1962, would be the last month for which he and his wife and children would be entitled to benefits. Hopkins exhausted his administrative remedies, but the final decision was that his benefits had been properly terminated.
Hopkins brought this action to review. His wife and children were not named in either the proceedings for administrative review or as plaintiffs in this action. On September 30, 1965, the district court reversed the secretary's decision and ordered him to "pay disability benefits to the plaintiff from the time of their termination until such time as a new determination is made that plaintiff's disability has, in fact, terminated."
On January 24, 1966, the department wrote Hopkins that because it had been decided that Hopkins was still disabled "you and your family will continue to receive benefit payments." Hopkins' individual past-due benefits through December, 1965, totalled $3,744.80, his wife's benefits $1,287.80, and the children's $3,463.50.
The district court awarded Sharp a fee of 25 percent of the past-due benefits payable to Hopkins individually, up to September 30, 1965, the date of the judgment.
The statute to be construed is as follows:
"Whenever a court renders a judgment favorable to a claimant under this subchapter who was represented before the court by an attorney, the court may determine and allow as part of its judgment a reasonable fee for such representation, not in excess of 25 percent of the total of the past-due benefits to which the claimant is entitled by reason of such judgment, and the Secretary may, notwithstanding the provisions of section 405(i) of this title, certify the amount of such fee for payment to such attorney out of, and not in addition to, the amount of such past-due benefits. In case of any such judgment, no other fee may be payable or certified for payment for such representation except as provided in this paragraph."*fn2
Paragraph (b) (2), enacted at the same time, makes it a misdemeanor to charge for services in connection with proceedings to which paragraph (1) is applicable any amount in excess of that allowed by the court.
1. Application to the instant case. Sharp and Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins signed a contract in May, 1964, in which the Hopkins employed Sharp to pursue the disability claim in court and fixed Sharp's compensation at 40 percent of the benefits accrued if awarded by the district court, without appeal, and 50 percent if it became necessary to appeal. The complaint was filed July 2, 1964. The statute was enacted July 30, 1965. Most of the services had been rendered before that date. Judgment was rendered September 30, 1965.
Mr. Sharp relies on the rule of construction that "a law will not be construed as retroactive unless the act clearly, by express language or necessary implication, indicates that the legislature intended a retroactive application."*fn3 The judgment was rendered, however, after the statute was enacted, and the statute says "Whenever a court renders a judgment * * *." Strictly speaking, application of this statute to a judgment rendered after its enactment is not retrospective. The retrospective impact results from the fact that this action was begun before the enactment, and that plaintiff and the attorney had agreed upon a fee before that. The same will be true with respect to many judgments rendered after enactment, though the proportion of time elapsed and services rendered before and after the enactment will vary widely. The difficulty of formulating any exception of already pending cases which would still serve the purpose Congress had in mind suggests that it was a deliberate choice to apply the new rule to all cases not yet terminated.
The report of a senate committee makes it plain that Congress was concerned about the charging of inordinately large fees, usually resulting from a contingent fee arrangement,*fn4 and it seems a very reasonable choice to make the remedy apply to all pending cases.
The fourth circuit has held the statute applicable where judgment was entered after the enactment, notwithstanding the existence of a prior fee contract.*fn5
We find no basis for any construction which would exempt the allowance of fee in the instant case from the application of the statute.
2. The base upon which the 25 percent maximum is to be computed. Mr. Sharp points out that although the pastdue benefits for Raymond Hopkins individually, accrued to the end of 1965 (something less at date of judgment) were some $3,700, the judgment also determined, in actual, though incidental, effect, that Mrs. Hopkins and the children were entitled to benefits, so that some $8,000 were the real total amount recovered for the Hopkins family as a result of Sharp's efforts. He contends that the 25 percent limitation should be computed upon the larger figure.
The key word is "claimant," as used in sec. 406(b) (1). That statute operates "whenever a court renders a judgment favorable to a claimant," the claimant must have been "represented before the court by an attorney," and the maximum limit of attorney's fees is measured by a percentage of the benefits "to which the claimant is entitled by reason of such judgment." The word "claimant" is found in the preceding subs. (a), which deals with representation of claimants in administrative proceedings before the secretary.
Mr. Sharp would contend that "claimant" may be read in the plural and includes those whose right to what may be termed derivative benefits is established by the judgment in favor of one found to be entitled to what may be termed primary benefits. If Mr. Hopkins is the only "claimant," the district court correctly limited the fee to 25 percent of the past-due benefits accrued to him. If his wife and children are also "claimants," the district court might have allowed a larger fee, but not in excess of 25 percent of the past-due benefits accrued to all.
Under a strict construction of the words in the statute, no one could be a "claimant * * * who was represented before the court by an attorney" unless he were a plaintiff in the action. Here, the only plaintiff was Hopkins.
But while such construction would exclude the wife and children from the category of "claimant" in this case, because they were not plaintiffs, and hence would exclude their past-due benefits from the base on which the maximum attorney's fee would be computed, it would make the result depend on a procedural detail. Here the administrative decision under review terminated the payment of benefits to all four in the Hopkins family upon the single ground that Hopkins was no longer entitled, and all could have joined as plaintiffs. In many cases, although each beneficiary must make a separate application, it would be possible to make such application and have each applicant become a plaintiff in an action to review the administrative denials. It does not seem satisfactory, therefore, to rest our decision upon the proposition that a beneficiary is not a "claimant" unless he is a "plaintiff."
In broader terms, the question is whether "claimant" under this statute includes all persons whose entitlement to benefits is established by the resolution of the issue before the court, in this case, Mr. Hopkins' disability, or whether "claimant" as used in the statute means only the applicant for primary benefits in any case where his entitlement is the issue.*fn6
The fourth circuit has adopted the first construction, holding that "the statutory words 'past-due benefits to which the claimant is entitled by reason of such judgment' mean the entire group of benefits payable to the primary claimant on his own behalf and to him and other dependent members of his family on their behalf."*fn7
We, however, with all respect to our brethren of the fourth circuit, choose the latter construction. We do so because it more closely limits fees, and such was the concern of Congress in enacting the statute. It also seems probable that those who drafted the statute assumed that where the dispute was over the entitlement of the individual applying for primary benefits, only he, and not those who would be entitled to derivative benefits, would appear as claimant before the secretary or as plaintiff before the court. The words they chose should be interpreted accordingly even though, as previously pointed out, it may be possible to have all interested beneficiaries formally pursue the administrative remedy and seek judicial review as plaintiffs. Furthermore, although "the time and labor required, the novelty and difficulty of the questions involved and the skill requisite properly to conduct the cause" make up but one of the elements thought proper in determining a lawyer's fee,*fn8 this element is no greater in presenting an action to review denial of benefits to an applicant who is single and without dependents, than in presenting the same issues in an action where the applicant has a wife and children. We think it unlikely that Congress intended that in a case like this the maximum fee should be more than twice as large as it would have been if Mr. Hopkins happened to be single.

So from reading these instructions, we now know that if this column was left blank, it wasn't because the enumerator was careless or forgot; it was because the person listed on the page was likely white. In our search of the 1860 census, we did not find any person with the surname Ellis who was listed as any race other than white. As mentioned, a free black person should have been listed in the census.
Locate the Slave Owner
The next step in finding more about the life of Isom Ellis is to try to determine by whom he was enslaved. This will also be useful for confirming your family's story that he did purchase his own freedom. In our search we found that there were quite a few Ellis families living in nearby Saratoga, as well as other surrounding towns, including Wilson and Gardner, N.C. In looking at a map, we see that Saratoga is only about five miles from Stantonsburg, and there is an Ellis Street, as well as an Archie Ellis Pond, in between. This indicates that an Ellis family may have owned land there and that perhaps there was an Ellis farm or plantation in this area.
As you continue to research your ancestors, keep in mind that the names of geographic locations can change and that new counties were formed over time, especially in the Southern states. For example, the 1870 census record for Isom Ellis and his family shows that they were living in Stantonsburg in Wilson County. When Stantonsburg was first incorporated in 1817, it was a part of nearby Edgecombe County, since Wilson County was not created until 1855. Given this, you'll also want to search for records of the Ellis family in Edgecombe County before 1855.
Using this information, we then searched the 1860 U.S. Census Slave Schedules to see if perhaps Isom and Patience were enslaved by the Ellis family. Since we found there were Ellis families living in nearby Saratoga in Wilson County, we first focused our search there. We found that there were four heads of households with the Ellis surname who owned slaves.
Keeping in mind that Isom would have been about 57 years old in 1860, we then looked at the entries for each family. We found that Penelope Ellis owned 19 slaves. The oldest was a 75-year-old female, but there was no entry for a man who was the right age to be Isom. Robert A. Ellis owned five slaves, with the oldest being a 50-year-old man. Hickman Ellis owned 23 slaves, including a 55-year-old male who was listed as black and a 55-year-old female who was listed as mulatto. William C. Ellis owned 13 slaves, but the oldest male was only 29 years old.
The entry for Hickman Ellis is the most interesting because he had a male and a female slave who were around the same age as Isom and Patience Ellis. We suggest continuing your research by searching the 1850 Slave Schedule for records of Hickman Ellis and other families with the Ellis surname who owned slaves.
However, before you look further into Hickman Ellis, it might be useful to learn more about the Ellis family and their history in the areas of Saratoga and Stantonsburg, N.C. Because Isom Ellis was born shortly after 1800, we first searched the 1800 census in Edgecombe County, N.C., to see if there were any slaveholders with the surname Ellis. These households had the most slaves: John Ellis Sr. owned 27 slaves, and William Ellis Sr. owned 13 slaves.
We then searched to see if we could find a will or probate document for John or William Ellis in Edgecombe County. We did not see a will for John Ellis, but we did see that William Ellis left a will that was proved (meaning that he died and it was presented to the probate court) in 1813. In William Ellis' will, he listed several slaves he left to both his wife and his children. The most interesting part is that when he listed the slaves he left to his wife, he listed them by name. Remarkably, he wrote, "I leave unto my said wife Unity Ellis, the following negroes, To wit, Arthur, Jonas, Isom, Belford, Listle, Pat, Minah, and Tesary & Hester."
From this record alone, we can't definitively determine whether or not this is a record of your ancestor, but it is likely that this is your forebear. Your fourth great-grandfather, Isom, would have been only 10 or 11 years old in 1813, but the fact that there was an Isom Ellis who was a part of the estate of William Ellis, and who lived near what is today a part of Wilson County, presents a significant lead for your research.
