Can individuals file Qui Tam Pro se w/o lawyer in NYC?

I am considering filing a Qui Tam Pro Se for a very compelling case which I got to partner level discussions with 2-3 firms but who ultimately passed not on merit but on the size of the potential defendant.

I was told by some sources however that both NYC and Federal would reject either by the clerk or when it got in front of a judge due to laws prohibiting private pro se quit tam and that that in turn would invalidate any further government involvement in the case even if I subsequently do find a firm to represent me in the Qui Tam.

My original plan with my original information was to file the Qui Tam pro se in the hopes of the State or Federal Gov't taking the case on directly.

Save lighting settings in BanlanX for COB LED strip?

I’m using a BanlanX SP548E controller with a PAUTIX RGB Smart IC COB LED Strip Light USB 5V lighting strip. I successfully connected it to Wi-Fi/cloud and Alexa can now:

  • turn the lights on/off
  • change colors
  • control brightness

However, I cannot find ANY way to save custom static colors/scenes inside the BanlanX app.

A lot of posts/videos say:

  • “just save the scene”
  • “use the DIY section”
  • “switch from Bluetooth to Wi-Fi/cloud mode”

…but in my version of the app there is literally nowhere to save anything. The DIY section appears empty/non-interactive. Long-pressing does nothing. There are no “+” buttons, save icons, naming dialogs, etc.

Questions:

  1. Does the SP548E firmware actually support saving static custom scenes/colors for COB strips?
  2. Is this feature hidden somewhere unintuitive in newer BanlanX app versions?
  3. Is scene saving only available for RGBIC/effects/music modes?
  4. Is there any workaround to get Alexa to trigger exact RGB/hex values instead of approximate named colors?

[United States, NYC] Is my armoire antique and or worth anything?

Trying to identify possible age/origin of this French provincial/Louis XV style armoire.

It is approximately 83x20x53.

I am in New York City, USA.

Trying to figure out if it makes sense to sell refurbish, etc.

Thanks in advance.
