latest post as headline, followed by featured and subsequent below

Modify the front page view of arthemia to show most recent (newest) post as ‚headline‘, next four older posts as ‚featured‘ and the subsequent posts continuing below.
Arthemia normally shows in the Headline section posts assigned to the category Headlines. Featured section shows posts from the category featured. All other posts follow below. So older posts of of the two sections above will disappear as soon there is a new entry.
I modified the index.php of arthemia free version to show your last post in Headline section, the next for older posts are shown in Featured section and even older posts follow below and on subsequent pages.
As with this mod you show 10 posts on the frontpage, you should set the Reading Settings in your WordPress dashboard to "Blog pages show at most 10 posts"

With this setting pagination is working as it should.
The only modifications in the following code are in lines:

10-12, 23, 30, 76-82
index.php code for normal flow of posts regardless any category:
Code:

<?php get_header(); ?>

   <?php if(!is_paged()) { ?>
