Thank you for this further explication, Ladewig. I will do as I said in my previous post to you. I will also re-read the application form instructions again. If they got a demonstration under controlled (which is meant to mean scientific!) conditions because if if "controlled" DOESN'T mean scientific then the word controlled has no real meaning either, i.e., if its not under SCIENTIFICALLY controlled conditions within SCIENTIFIC METHODS OR PROTOCOLS then it's hogwash! Unless they're claiming that they have to be able to REPEAT the controlled demonstration under the same conditions, I would suppose, at least with the same person. That's what I understand the scientific method and scientific proofs to consist in! And for $1 million?!?!?Further comment?
I will look at the resources you sent me to that show problems with similar claims. Before I do, however, it I HAVE read those who say that the fudgers of their data did not do so as well as those who say they did. In any case, it seems to me that under fair conditions with new data it would be very simple to prove whether the original claims of statistical validity are either correct or incorrect. I am willing to take that chance and since I can be privy to and help create the protocol with the help of my own chose professional statistician, actuary or mathematician it seems like it can be very fair.
May the truth prevail. My deadline to reveal my claim to all here is Thursday, May 14th. I will take that time look over the resources that Loss Leader has provided on the internet. I don't like to speak before having looked, but my intuition/instinct tells me that Loss Leaders resources, per necessity, are a rehashing of what others thought, said, did, not what mine might prove. We'll see. Cheerio!

Penultimate Amazing
Unfortunately, the patent doesn't seem to contain enough information to allow a person skilled in the art to actually carry out the invention.
I also looked at the figures and all three patents have nothing more than block diagrams. No blueprints or anything similar.
And I highly doubt that "means for transmitting both said base frequency and said first signals to the brain of the subject" or "means for receiving a second signal transmitted by the brain of the subject" exist (assuming that "signal" means something the brain can understand or transmit to the equipment).
I wish they wouldn't grant patents for things that require technology that hasn't been invented yet.
I mean, would they grant me a patent for an "apparatus for teleporting" that requires some sort of "means for teleporting" which doesn't exist?
Did you look at the patents on http://www.google.com/patents? That's where I believe I got my printed copies from some years ago (I think the website that they came from would be printed on them; I'll look when I have a moment) and my copies have diagrams AND schematics, at least for the first patent I mention. I'll take another look to see what is now appearing on the google patents website. We all wish that things were just as we'd like them, like I wish that I didn't have to wait 60 seconds between sending private messages, which I think is silly, but them's the rules and that's the way it is; it's call reality which most of the time is not to most of our liking! Cheers! Try not to sweat it!
Looking forward to the reveal!
Thanks for your avowed continued interest, Marplots!
! I hope it's not anticlimactic for you although I can tell you now, there is already some drama! !With no offense, you may have interpretational difficulties so I will make this clearer (I trust). There are no such things as (real) psychics, clairvoyants, telepaths , diviners, spellcasters or ghosts/spirits (etc.). Nor are there gods or demons or any combination. There is (as far as we can determine in any provable way) this world, the solar system and it's identified and yet unidentified parts , our galaxy of other solar systems/star systems and other astronomical matter/anti-matter scattered about it. If there is alien life and technology the odds of us ever seeing it/evidence of it are vanishingly close to zero. There will never be an honest claim on the million dollars although frauds and the mentally ill may well attempt it - but absent a successful tech breakthrough that is known to very few who can use it for faking para - things the million is safe from those who try for it - because they cannot do what they claim to do. But, feel free to try - surprise me by proving me wrong. I promise not to hold my breath!!!

There are people who fool themselves into believing they have powers (most dowsers, for example), I consider their claims on the prize to be honest.
You ARE new here huh ? Keep an eye on the "Abandon All Hope" list. Some posts there seem to be 'bounced' b/c they offend the moderators sensibilities. I've seen very reasonable & on-topic posts banished.
None of these (below) are examples of good debate, and as fair disclosure I have two of these folk on my ignore list, but the reasons these thread segments are in the banish-bin seems unreasonable on an objective basis.

One of the negatives of this forum is the low quality of moderation Enforcement seems erratic and selective, and at times suggests a bias.
Not so much
http://careers.uspto.gov/Pages/PEPositions/
I suppose that is true in practice. "Non-obvious" was supposedly a requirement at one time, but that seems to be solidly ignored. However the "new" requirement for filing has dramatically changed in recent years with a "first to file" rule.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leahy-Smith_America_Invents_Act
So the first to file gets the patent w/o the same objections based on prior art, but then others can object after the grant.
===
The purpose of the patent system was to create an incentive for invention & innovation, by allowing those who innovate to profit from their efforts. It seems to have failed rather badly.
Thank you for your clarification. If I may ask, where did you come up with your statement that "the odds of us ever seeing it/evidence of it are vanishingly close to zero," meaning evidence of extraterrestrial beings, I believe? What bona fide scientist(s) gave these odds? Would you please provide me with a link to this intelligence?
I wouldn't suggest holding your breath for any occasion no matter how likely you think it is or quickly you think it is to transpire, although if you hold your breath long enough, although that would be a stupid thing to do, although I note your (uncalled for, in my opinion) probable sarcasm and metaphorical intent in your statement about holding your breath, as you know if you did so long enough you'd just lose consciousness and unconsciously start to breathe again, which you're probably are aware of.
Do you have some scientific credentials, or are you connected with some university's or business's science staff? If so, please make me privy to these career accomplishments. Likewise if you've written any scientific tomes or have competed for any well-known prizes in your field(s) of endeavor, I'd be more than happy to look into them for my own, er, pleasure, if you don't mind.
I'm sure you are quite proud of any such professional accomplishments, as I believe you would deserve to be, and as I am of mine and have offered here to prove that I HAVE, IN FACT, accomplished what I wrote that I have to anyone here who requests said proof, but so far there have been no takes, with even the friendliest claiming a lack of interest in same and saying they see them as irrelevant and have thus ignored them and my willingness to prove them.
One gentleman here, at least I think that person is a male, Ladewig, says that people take offense to others claiming to be exceptionally intelligent here. Well, let me make MYSELF very clear which apparently I have not already: Most people claim to be interested in the facts, reality, scientific proofs, etc. until they come upon one of those that they simply do not like, like someone, just about anyone being, more intellectually gifted than they are! Especially not an African-American woman with a mere high school diploma (!) and NO advanced college degrees, whatsoever, because I've been hounded out of a myriad of colleges and universities for that same reason, which seems to me to be that most colleges and universities are not about knowledge and intelligence, but about brown-nosing, in my informed opinion, which latter I've never been very good at!
I don't have that problem with not liking others being intellectually superior to me for two reasons: 1) If I think that someone is more intellectually gifted than I am, for one, like Lewis Parris Latimer, whose extreme intellectual capacity it seems most people don't want to acknowledge either, and who invented the first copper filament for the incandescent light bulb among many other accomplishments in his field with only a formal 5th grade education having had to stop formal education at age 10, being mostly self-taught after that, and whom I praise unstintingly for such accomplishments, though I believe my accomplishments in my fields of endeavor are comparable or similar on their own levels. I praise all such comers unstintingly for envy and meanness are unknown to my nature whatever other character flaws I may have, although many seem to TRY to make me envy them or bring me down to their level of envy and meanness as they seem to envy me and;
2) I don't know very many people whose intellectual capacity matches or surpasses my own and I have come across few in my lifetime and I have a very wide acquaintance of the highest and the lowest and those in reputation for greatness as well as superior intellect. Certainly no one on this forum!
Because of the comments of Loss Leader whom I don't even know whether he is a qualified person to tell me that my claim is not feasible, I have decided to post my claim here now, two days early rather than on Thursday, May 14th, 2015, because I want to make sure that nothing gets in the way of my doing so.
And I'm also stating clearly here, which I will post with my claim, that if my claim is not accepted, I can only believe, based on Loss Leaders' comments and what happened to the other gentleman who tried to prove my claim in other arenas and who first did the work and was hounded until he felt he had to commit suicide, which he did, by those who lied about their "scientific" results in debunking him (I will provide links to this information), that the JREF are simply afraid that I might prove it.
If JREF can accept the claims of a woman who says she can make someone pee with her mind, which is utterly frivolous as I've stated before, their fear of being proven wrong will be the only conjecture that I can have for them rejecting my claim. I must admit that you say you are willing for me to prove you wrong and if they let me, I will try. If not, it won't be that important a lost opportunity as far as I'm concerned, except what I said above, in the stratosphere of my life! There are so many other things I have to do that ARE important that I will get to doing, like competing for the Pulitzer, yet again, with my book of poetry, and many others!
Thank you once again for your comments! I await your reply!
What on earth is all that blowing-your-own-trumpet all about?
Tell me how you could ascertain that most of the people you meet in life have lower intellectual abilities than you? As for the ridiculous claim that no-one on the forum is as intelligent as you, or that there is something about being African American which is supposed to mean something significant........how about you show us your working. Support that claim or withdraw it.

Whoa, whoa. You have misquoted me. I never said that posters here take offense when people claim to be exceptionally intelligent. I said that in JREF Paranormal Challenge application threads, claims of exceptional intelligence are often viewed as evidence that the potential applicant is not interested in working out a practical protocol or is not interested in actually applying.
Furthermore, even outside of Challenge application threads, boasting about IQ scores is far more likely to produce chuckles than offense. And I have never seen it produce jealously. A fairly large segment of the JREF believe IQ tests are exceptionally good at measuring one's ability to take IQ tests and are exceptionally bad at measuring anything else. I fall into that category (and for the record, I have been a member of Mensa).
Yes, I am a man.

I understand the Abandon All Hope subforum. My claim was not that no posts are sent there. My claim was that no posts are deleted. I was trying to compare this message board to the majority of Internet message boards wherein a single post can cause a person's entire posting history to disappear.
It's just plain facts which you all claim you want! I thought I made that quite clear. Do you have any trumpet to blow?
I'll give you some examples of how any objective person can ascertain when one is generally higher in intellectual ability than others from an e-mail I sent to another person who also did not like my facts. Further can you prove that my claim that no one on the forum is as intelligent as me is ridiculous? Just because you use the word ridiculous about my claim that does not mean that your opinion on that score is correct.
I'm nor sure what you mean when you say, "How about you show us your working," and "Support that claim or withdraw it." Which claim are you talking about? I've made many here. No onto the e-mail clips I promised you:
yes, indeed, I am convinced that there ARE many lame-brains (I detect a note of sarcasm in your tone; ha,ha!) I'll give you five examples of today alone: 1) My neighbor's sister seemed to track me down to corner me on the elevator to "talk" with me and to tell me that she's tired AND to explain WHY she's tired, which, quite frankly I couldn't care less about either and I don't like to talk with people who complain about the simplest things all the time; 2) another neighbor whom I ran into whom I'd been waiting to tell an exciting event in my life for some time ignored me when I told her about it and launched into how tired she is, yet she's constantly sleeping (!) The upshot of what I am trying to say about these lame-brained, yes (!), professional victims is what I call them, is that if they are tired all the time, it is not the most sensible thing to tell anyone who will listen to try to steal their interlocutors' energy by trying to get sympathy, but to speak perhaps with a medical professional.
However, I believe that these people are so tired because they spend most of their energies (if I may assume that we have life energies which we use daily and replenish in sleeping) living in quiet desperation and not having a clue even what they most want to do and they resent anyone trying to clarify this for them! I have tried innumerable times only to hear that these pathetic people are too busy to talk with me! But that's the way of the professional victim. S/he doesn't want solutions; s/he just wants to complain!;
3) I called a charity to try to find a way to donate a large sum of money from my food line (should it go forward; I have developed super foods/iced teas lines that I would like to have in grocery stores frozen and fresh foods aisles in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada by the end of 2016 which contain some of the most nutrient dense foods/teas known to man like chia seed, quinoa, and moringa), mainly for promotional and tax purposes although I'm glad to do it, and the phone extension they have listed on their website for such turns out not to be the correct one! This is one of the most famous children's cancer research hospitals in the U.S.: St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital! One would think that one of the most important parts of this organization's endeavors would be to get funding to keep its operations going! Yet they don't even have the right information on how to reach them to give same!;
4) I called another organization for the same reason as this last and asked to speak with the owner by his name and the receptionist asked did I want the Senior or the Junior of that name and I asked her if the Senior is still living. She said they don't have that information up to date! I tried telling her in several different ways that if the Senior is not alive I couldn't leave a message with her for him (would I leave it for his ghost or spirit?), which is the simplest logical deduction and makes her question of whether I want the Senior or the Junior completely lame-brained! She could not seem to comprehend that no matter how I explained it to her! Finally, I was able to tell this erstwhile answering service operator that I would call the office during regular business hours and to get off the phone with that lame-brained imbecile!; and
5) It occurred to me to ask a security guard who works in my building and with whom I'm relatively friendly, what he plans to be doing career-wise in the next 5 years. He answered that he'd like to have "a better job." I asked him, doing what? He said, perhaps working for the city government. I asked him how he planned to accomplish that, by taking tests? To which he answered, yes. I then asked him what department of the city government he'd like to work for because to my knowledge, each different department, e.g., sanitation, mass transit, child welfare, etc. have different tests that one must take to work for that department. In short, this gentleman didn't have a clue how to go about achieving what he said he wanted! How much hope do you hold out for his future, if he doesn't learn to think a whole lot better? These are daily occurrences in my life and are enormously frustrating!
I'm talking about drawing logical conclusions from inferences not subjective fulminating, the former it seems I am doing, the latter it doesn't, another for instance being that being African-American or any other race or nationality for that matter has nothing to do with intellectual competence or achievement! It just so happens that both Mr. Latimer and myself are African-American. Believe me I know just as many African-Americans who are not on my intellectual level nor Mr. Latimer's for that matter as I do people of other races!
ARE there any African-American men or women on this forum besides me if I may ask. That doesn't matter to me either although I'm ever so slightly curious. My guess is that there aren't any which is another reason why I'm getting so much flack about saying what I've said about my intelligence, if I'm allowed to talk about race on this forum.
In any case, I've not gotten any warnings about being inappropriate here yet, and if they'll allow someone with an icon of a male stick figure kicking another male stick figure in the privates repeatedly here, which is a definite depiction of very cruel violence, in my informed opinion, even if it is only a stick figure, then I suppose they'll allow me. If not, I've basically said what I've had to say. Cheerio!
Dear Ladewig,
My sincere apologies for misquoting you! I did not mean to use the word, "offense," I meant to use the word, "exception," or at least, I should have, which word, I think comes closer to your statement of what you believe the others here feel about people who say they are exceptionally intelligent. Have people here actually SAID they feel that way to you or hold those beliefs about those who claim they are exceptionally intelligent here? And by the way, many have called me onto the carpet for doing so, but Ii haven't seen anyone make such claims here. I guess they know the drill, as it were.
Further, I've known casually one woman, an African-American one at that (!) who is a MENSA member, and who was the person in charge of scheduling the testing for the MENSA chapter in my area. She had certain ideas, like most people, including many of the people here, or seemed to, to me, in her case, about wealth and what it's good for (I hope I'm not misquoting her; I will try to find the e-mails and give her quotes and mine on this subject here and let you judge for yourself) that she was not willing to discuss, substantiate the validity of or debate because when I inquired she never wrote to me again which is another usual response when people can't prove what they believe and expect me to believe on their bare say so!
I knew a bit more intimately, a white Jewish male, who is a MENSA member but who took a modified test to gain his membership and who claimed to be a math genius which I can't vouch for and which I certainly am not (I do not claim capabilities I don't have and again have no problem whatsoever saying I don't have certain capabilities or don't know certain things when I don't) who spent a night with me in my bed although we did not have sex for various reasons I won't go into here which I allowed him to do because he valiantly came to meet me on the subway all the way from Brooklyn, about 30 miles from where I live at Midnight on a winter's night when there was a lot of snow on the ground and he also thought he might have been in physical danger, telling me that he ran all the way from the subway to the apartment building where I live. This transpired after we'd spoken on the phone off an on for over a year. As many may tell you it they would, sexy though I and some others may consider me to be, it's not easy to get into my bed, if I may be so risque. This gentleman certainly proved himself sincere.
This gentleman also had a utopian fantasy of forming the perfect polyamorous community with an endless amount of women and he being the only or one of only a few males, all cohabiting and sexually frolicking as they would! Really?! Also he had no money to make his dream come true to buy land, to build this commune on etc., as most intuitives don't. I'm also an intutive but I have great resource and have accomplished many of my more practical dreams although I am deeply in debt. There is much more to the strangeness of this gentleman, but suffice it to say these are the MENSA members I've known. Which is another reason for me not being terribly interested in taking them up on their invite to try to join! A forum like this is quite enough.
How do you know or guess when someone is feeling envious, Ladewig? What are the signs because most people to my understanding don't just open up and admit that they envy someone for it's generally an ugly emotion and smacks of feelings of inferiority in the envious to my knowledge and understanding although some people have opened right up to me and said plainly, "How I envy you!" If I'm not misquoting here but there is no written proof to go on except that that's what I believe I heard.
I await your reply.

I am simply a poster with no authoritative weight. My opinion is simply my opinion. My opinion is that you will find it very helpful to learn much much more about the JREF Paranormal Challenge before saying things like: if the JREF refuses to accept my (as of yet unstated) claim, then the only possible reason is their fear that I might prove it.
Edited to add.
You now have enough posts to add an image beneath your screen name.

I wasn't able to find the posts between the test scheduler for my MENSA chapter
I wasn't able to find the posts between the test scheduler for my MENSA chapter. I probably conducted those e-mails on my webtv which I no longer have. Sorry about that Ladewig.

Thank you for your advice, Ladewig. But I DID state my claim in its entirety on another thread as I said I would (you have also quoted me out of context, leaving out that part!) You, too, in that case, have jumped the gun or did not pay careful enough attention. I think YOU need to learn much, much more about ME before giving so much advice. I thank you anyway! Cheerio!
You know, Ladewig, I noticed that too well before you told me and I tried to do so but apparently it did not work properly. Can you tell me EXACTLY how to go about doing it?
In any case I have posted many photos of myself, from my youth and to the present with explanations, as attachments, along with some of my favorite, and I hope, funniest jokes, on the humor forum. I hope you will take a gander! Cheers!
