ALEXANDRIA, VA--(Marketwired - Mar 11, 2015) - Forum One, a digital agency working with the world's most influential problem-solvers, is launching the Collaboration Accelerator to streamline collaboration between knowledge workers in government, think tanks, foundations, and NGOs, by easing the technical, procurement, and security barriers that typically plague online collaboration in government and the NGO community. For the first time, digital teams will be able to quickly build online communities of practice or knowledge hubs and collaborate with other governmental and NGO organizations.
Building on the success of this solution within the private sector, Forum One is bringing this solution to market in partnership with Acquia -- which provides an open cloud platform for integrated digital experiences. Acquia and Forum One have collaborated on many engagements over the years, including work for the American Red Cross and the Environmental Protection Agency.
"As transparency and open data initiatives gain momentum, we're seeing more collaboration between government agencies and non-governmental organizations," said Kurt Voelker, Chief Technology Officer at Forum One. "In fact, the Consultative Group to Assist the Poor, a global partnership housed at the World Bank that seeks to advance financial inclusion, has successfully used this platform to communicate and interact with constituents to support development around the world."
Oxfam, an organization dedicated to fighting global poverty and advancing human rights, relies on the Collaboration Accelerator to improve transparency and communication and enhance the impact of its services. Neal McCarthy, Oxfam America's Senior Manager of Shared Services Applications, says, "At Oxfam, breaking down organizational silos so that the right people can easily connect and share across all 17 of our international affiliate organizations is a big deal. The Collaboration Accelerator is helping us do just that."
Built with Drupal Commons, the Collaboration Accelerator helps team members manage groups, share resources and track projects from start to finish using their desktop or mobile device. The accelerator also includes a range of services designed to keep the community active and engaged, namely: strategic planning, governance, member management, metric setting, and training.
Delivered on the Acquia Platform, the Collaboration Accelerator is designed to support U.S. government agencies in achieving and sustaining compliance with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). The Acquia Platform has helped federal agencies deploy government data and applications in the cloud and comply with rigorous security requirements.
"Agencies that work together effectively are best positioned to impact people's lives and improve the performance of digital government," said Todd Akers, vice president of public sector at Acquia. "The Collaboration Accelerator addresses three primary requirements for government and NGO collaboration platforms: support for robust security, flexibility to customize the solution for different working groups, and services to make sure that the community lives on until its work is done."

Making sorbet with liquid nitrogen.
Saturday, February 8, celebrates the Day of Russian science. On this day ABC decided to cook a very tasty and refreshing dish with the use of molecular gastronomy.
The celebration of the Day of Russian science was established by presidential decree in 1999. The day was dedicated to the Foundation of the Russian Academy of Sciences, founded by Peter 8 February 1724.
More than 14 Soviet and Russian scientists, members of the RAS have been awarded Nobel prizes. First awarded in 1904,became academician I. P. Pavlov for his work on the physiology of digestion, and in 1908 the Nobel prize was awarded I. I. Mechnikov for works on the immune system. The last Russian became a laureate physicist K. S. Novoselov, who in 2010 won the prestigious award for his innovative experiments on two-dimensional material graphene.
By the way, in Soviet times science Day was celebrated on the third Sunday of April. To this day many research teams prefer to celebrate this holiday in the traditional way.
However, ABC decided exactly 8 February to devote readers into the depths of science and explain how scientific inventions used in everyday life. For example, opened in 1772 Henry Cavendish nitrogen: brand chef and founder of the culinary Studio Clever Michael Liske eyes correspondents "Reedus" very quickly was able to cook old Arabic dessert sorbet using liquid nitrogen.
Simply put, sorbet is a fruity ice cream, prepared on the basis of fruits and sometimes vegetables, with sugar syrup. It turned out that this sweet dish is very simple to prepare, but very tasty and healthy, especially long winter.
To prepare the sorbet, you must bring to boil sugar and water, and then cooled sugar syrup to pour fruit juice or pre-cooked puree your favorite fruit. And then – with the help of liquid nitrogen for a small amount of time to make sweet weight in Popsicles. By the way, if not for the invention of science as liquid nitrogen, Housewives would have had over 12 hours to keep the sorbet in the refrigerator, stirring it every half hour. Michael Liske said: "For this dish, I will take no more than 15 minutes, and it was at least the night". It turns out that the chef had demonstrated in front of reporters that in the world of cooking called molecular cuisine – one of today's popular areas of gastronomy.
Now chefs working according to the laws of chemistry and physics, serves with the use of refrigeration, instantly cooling products to minus 260 degrees Celsius, and the centrifuge, which is capable of grinding products almost to molecular components. And one of the main postulates for chemists cooks is: to achieve the desired degree of doneness is the temperature of heat treatment is more important than the duration of cooking.
The founders of molecular gastronomy is considered to be a nuclear physicist Nicholas Kurti and his wife, a professional chef, Elizabeth Thomas. Exactly since 1992, we can say that together joined the restaurant world and the world of science.

Susana Rivas, a CNRS research group leader from the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA) in Toulouse is now at the epicenter of a new research integrity scandal in plant sciences. In the last two years, France was shaken by the Olivier Voinnet scandal, when their former star researcher was found guilty of data manipulation throughout his entire career, from his PhD at The Sainsbury Laboratory in Norwich, UK, over his position of many years as research director at CNRS plant science institute in Strasbourg up to his current professorship at the ETH Zürich in Switzerland. Before she became CNRS group leader in 2003, the Spanish plant scientist Rivas worked as postdoc at The Sainsbury Laboratory, in the lab of Jonathan Jones, at around the same time when Voinnet was finishing his PhD there under David Baulcombe. Now, Jones retracted a paper authored by Rivas from the journal The Plant Cell, he also requested the retraction of another paper from his lab with Rivas as first author, in The Plant Journal. Meanwhile, I share here new evidence of suspected data manipulations from Rivas' own lab in Toulouse, in her 5 publications which include PNAS, PLOS One, The Plant Cell and Nature Communications.

Human Brain Project: bureaucratic success despite scientific failure
The EU €1-Billion-Flagship Human Brain Project (HBP) has passed its midterm evaluation with flying colours. Noone knows exactly what the objectives of this bombastic project is, as members of the evaluation panel indicated to me, while others refused to answer this question. The HBP leadership sure keeps the exact definition of these objectives secret, or maybe they don't know them themselves. Which is easy to understand, because given the leniency HBP keeps receiving from those supposed to evaluate it, its real objective becomes perfectly clear: to secure the public funding. There, HBP succeeded indeed, the €1 Billion seems rather safe. It is none of the public's business where the money will go, but it can rest assured it will certainly go somewhere. The public should also not expect any deliverables or return on its research investment, this the HBP leadership already made perfectly clear. I am showing below what a farce the recent HBP evaluations were, while the positive outcome was much hailed as evidence for excellent scientific performance.

The vexatious life-saving question of cadaveric tracheas
As we learned it from the Swedish documentary "Experimenten", the scandal trachea surgeon Paolo Macchiarini didn't much like to operate on sick cancer patients: they died too quickly after receiving a trachea transplant. This is why Macchiarini was said to have moved on to patients outside of any life-threatening conditions, like the Russian car accident victim Yulia Tuulik. She died because of the plastic trachea which Macchiarini implanted into her. Yesim Cetir, young victim of a botched operation, was slightly luckier to survive the plastic trachea, but only because it was removed and because of constant emergency care and multiple organ transplants (she is presently in very grave state). However, it seems that even Macchiarini's cancer patients could have led a relatively long life, had they not agreed to receive his trachea transplants. And I am not speaking about the lethal plastic ones. In fact, the "biological" grafts made of decellurised dead donor tracheas were not such a great success either, and seem to have brought suffering and have shortened lives instead of prolonging them. The British UCL and its hospital UCLH are preparing their own clinical trial with cadaveric tracheas, while busily covering up their role in the Macchiarini scandal.

The travelling circus of research integrity in Strasbourg
On March 8, an international scientific review board will be evaluating the research at the French CNRS Institut de Biologie Moléculaire des Plantes (IBMP) in Strasbourg. This is the place where the former star (and now misconduct-tainted pariah) of plant sciences Olivier Voinnet shot to fame, where his main lab operated since 2002 until he was taken away control over it in 2015, after found guilty of massive data manipulations in many papers by his employers CNRS and ETH Zürich (see my various reports here). The Voinnet lab in Strasbourg had since been led by his right-hand man, Patrice Dunoyer, first author on 3 retracted papers, who also admitted his own data manipulations in several more instances (most recent Voinnet/Dunoyer retraction and correction list here). A serious institute might have reconsidered collaborating with such a questionable scientist as Dunoyer, not so CNRS and its IBMP (which is actually just as fair, because also the Swiss ETH kept his boss Voinnet as their professor). Dunoyer was only punished by a one-month suspension back then in 2015, to CNRS leadership he seems to be a perfect scientist to lead a research lab in this plant science institute. Indeed, Dunoyer is apparently well integrated at IBMP: on March 8th the review board will not only be judging his scientific performance, but also that of his several IBMP colleagues whose publications were also flagged for data integrity concerns on PubPeer, e.g. Christophe Ritzenthaler, Véronique Ziegler-Graff and Pascal Genschik. Incidentally, IBMP invited as review committee members such international scientists who will be well able to understand this delicate matter, because, like for example Martin Crespi, director of the Institute of Plant Sciences in Paris-Saclay, or Serge Delrot, professor at University of Bordeaux, their own publications were reported on PubPeer for serious data integrity concerns as well. One could quip here: it takes one to know one. Continue reading "The travelling circus of research integrity in Strasbourg"
Image duplication and other irregularities of Heike and Thorsten Walles
More inconsistencies arise in publications and statements of the litigation-happy professors of the University of Würzburg, Heike and Thorsten Walles. These regenerative medicine scientists turned the entire might of German justice system against my reporting, while their academic employer remains shamefully silent. Their elusive animal experiments with the pig intestine-based tracheal transplants seem to be very real when Heike Walles speaks about them and become non-existent when her husband and research partner Thorsten does. While the University of Würzburg and the federal watchdog Paul-Ehrlich-Institute (PEI) protect the surgeon by asserting that no ethics vote was needed to perform his tracheal transplants on 3 patients, his wife claimed that he actually needed and obtained an ethics approval to do this. Thorsten Walles himself in fact indicated that his last transplant in 2009 might have broken the German Tissue Law from 2007, i.e., if he indeed failed to obtain an ethics vote, while operating under compassionate use. In any case, no German institution was willing to discuss with me the existence or non-existence of these ethics approvals. Despite the simple fact that none of these 3 patients is alive today (one died in fact very soon after operation), it is none of public's business.
Now, a seemingly duplicated image was spotted in two Walles publications (Linke et al 2007 and Schanz et al 2010). They describe the creation of an "artificial liver", made from decellurised pig intestine (just like the tracheal transplants), seeded with endothelial and liver cells. These two publications are 3 years apart, the methodology description is also slightly different (e.g., decellurisation process and the speed and kind of perfusion). A minor aspect may be that the Linke et al 2007 paper described the use of pig cellular material, and Schanz et al 2010 employed primary human cells from patient biopsies. Finally, the image seems not just duplicated, but one looks actually brighter and like a zoom-in of the other.

Evidence is a lie, listen to our authority, say Walles to scientists
The Würzburg regenerative medicine researchers Heike and Thorsten Walles, joined by their colleague Jan Hansmann, are now hitting back at the evidence I presented, which all clearly suggests that no animal testing was performed on their tracheal transplants made of pig intestine before those were tested on 3 patients, coincidently none of whom is alive today. The first test was performed in 2003 at the Hannover Medical School (MHH) in Germany, and led by none other than the scandal surgeon Paolo Macchiarini, Walleses' former superior. Two more tests were performed on two patients in Stuttgart, where Walleses moved to in 2004 (see details here). About the last tracheal transplant in 2009, an analysis of Thorsten Walles' own words raise new questions about its legality in regard to German Tissue Law from 2007. The University Clinic Würzburg shamefully continues to refuse to share any information with me, despite the protests of many international scientists. In fact, it even refuses to say if Walleses were given persmission to use their institutional affiliation to achieve that court injunction against me.

14 new fruits and vegetables for a show-stopping garden
Once upon a time, the phrase 'new and improved' carried weight. Then it became an advertising cliché and the overused words lost their luster.
Well, each year the All-America Selections organization picks award-winning flowers and vegetables that actually are new and improved, but maybe we should call them unique and upgraded.
Since 1932, All-America Selections' volunteer judges across North America have tested new varieties, comparing them to the current best-in-class flowers and vegetables. If it's sufficiently different or better than the existing, a new variety is awarded the prestigious All-American Selections award. Hundreds of popular favorites have won the coveted award, like Purple Wave Petunia, Celebrity Tomato and Sugar Snap Pea.
Here are the new 2018 award winners with a summary of characteristics.
- Canna, South Pacific Orange: The unique, soft orange flowers grow on compact, green-leaved plants reaching up to 52 inches high. They're suitable for large containers or flowerbed backgrounds. Unlike many cannas, these are grown from seed that's best started in late winter.
- Cuphea, FloriGlory Diana: This variety of Mexican heather has larger flowers and more intense color, with five times the flower quantity of comparable cupheas. Growing 10 to 12 inches high, the compact plants are well-suited for containers or flowerbeds, thriving in heat and full sun. These are cutting-grown, so starter plants must be purchased.
- Gypsophila, Gypsy White Improved: Blossoms of this semi-double annual baby's breath are larger and more abundant than previous types, creating a fluffy, 10-inch mound for hanging baskets, containers or flowerbed borders. Sow seed indoors in mid-March for May planting.
- Marigold, Super Hero Spry: Two-tone maroon and yellow flowers grow on compact 10 to 12-inch plants. Easily grown from seeds started indoors in mid-March for mid-May outdoor planting.
- Ornamental Pepper, Onyx Red: Compact, well-branched plants have black-purple foliage with small shiny red fruit. Eight-inch plants are eye-catching in containers or flowerbeds.
- Zinnia, Queeny Lime Orange: Large, dahlia-type flowers on sturdy, compact plants. Described as a show-stopping color with shades of lime, yellow, peach, salmon and orange. Grows 18 to 24 inches tall and loves full sun and heat. Sow seed indoors in mid-April for mid-May planting.
- Sweet Corn, American Dream: Bi-color type with tender, super-sweet kernels that are ready for harvest slightly earlier than comparable types. Stalks are 6- to 7-feet tall with 7-inch cops ready in 77 days from planting.
- Pak Choi, Asian Delight: A Chinese cabbage that's slower to bolt than others, forming mild-flavored heads ready in 35 to 50 days from direct garden seeding, or 25 to 40 days from pre-started transplants. Container friendly.
- Pepper, Cayenne Red Ember: Reportedly tastier than other cayenne types, and its earliness makes it better suited for northern growing. Pre-started transplants produce usable peppers 75 days from planting into garden.
- Pepper, Habanero Roulette: Truly unique, because it's got all the habanero flavor, but no heat. Earlier ripening, with high yields 85 days from transplanting into garden. Can be grown in containers.
- Pepper, Hungarian Mexican Sunrise: Colors progress from green to yellow to orange to red, and semi-hot fruit can be eaten at any of these stages.
- Tomato, Chef's Choice Red: Globe-shaped beefsteak-type has a full-flavored sugar to acid balance. Indeterminate vining plants are disease resistant with fruits ripening 80 to 85 days from garden transplanting, making it slightly later than our 65 to 75-day midseason tomato types.
- Tomato, Cocktail Red Racer: Larger than cherry tomatoes, the sweet fruits grow in heavy clusters. Compact, determinate habit is ideal for small-spaces and containers. Earlier than comparisons, fruits ripen 57 days from transplanting.
- Tomato, Valentine: Sweet grape tomato with a high lycopene content, giving fruits redder-than-normal color. Fruits hold longer on vines without cracking, ripening 55 days from transplanting on indeterminate vines.
Note about AAS availability: Some garden centers carry starter plants of AAS award winners, others don't.
For gardeners wishing to start their own transplants, seed of this year's winners is readily available and a quick online search lists mail-order suppliers.

Steroid diabetes must be distinguished from stress hyperglycemia , hyperglycemia due to excessive intravenous glucose, or new-onset diabetes of another type. Because it is not unusual for steroid treatment to precipitate type 1 or type 2 diabetes in a person who is already in the process of developing it, it is not always possible to determine whether apparent steroid diabetes will be permanent or will go away when the steroids are finished. More commonly undiagnosed cases of type 2 diabetes are brought to clinical attention with corticosteroid treatment because subclinical hyperglycemia worsens and becomes symptomatic. Generally, steroid diabetes without preexisting type 2 diabetes will resolve upon termination of corticosteroid administration.
Steroid-induced osteoporosis (SIOP) is osteoporosis arising due to use of glucocorticoids (steroid hormones) - analogous to Cushing's syndrome and involving mainly the axial skeleton. The synthetic glucocorticoid prescription drug prednisone is a main candidate after prolonged intake. Bisphosphonates are beneficial in reducing the risk of vertebral fractures. [1] Some professional guidelines recommend prophylactic calcium and vitamin D supplementation in patients who take the equivalent of more than 30 mg hydrocortisone ( mg of prednisolone), especially when this is in excess of three months. [2] [3] The use of thiazide diuretics, and gonadal hormone replacement has also been recommended, with the use of calcitonin, bisphosphonates, sodium fluoride or anabolic steroids also suggested in refractory cases. [4] Alternate day use may not prevent this complication. [5]

In working with the human frame the various techniques can be roughly subdivided into ones that work with the bones, ones for the joints, ones for the soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments etc.) and ones to improve the nervous system's control of the whole affair. There is overlap in these but it's a useful way to learn the major focus of techniques.
In this blog I will take on methods of changing bone alignment, the relative position of a bone to the ones beside it. Of course that means a change in the joints also because that is where bones meet one another, however, these techniques focus more on the bone position rather than the joint relationships. (I will write about the joint relationship techniques in the next post.)
The most familiar to people is having the bones of the spine moved, the stock in trade of Chiropractors. Technically it is called manipulation or mobilization and involves putting a force directly to the bones of the spine, or vertebrae, to move them. How much force and in what direction is where various techniques differ. Some will use a high velocity thrust to "crack" the back and often times an audible "pop" or "crack is heard and/or felt. (There is no good proof of what causes the actual noise but it probably comes from a variety of causes depending on the situation.) Other techniques use grades of mobilization which involve various degrees of a softer force applied to the area of concern. This is applied repeatedly until the movement of the bone is achieved. Still lighter and more focused force can be used with a small tool called an Activator. This is a small spring loaded hammer used to put gentle but focused mechanical force on a small area (about ½ inch across) to push on a specific part of a vertebra. All of these involve the practitioner actively applying force to move the vertebrae while the client is passive. The techniques are fast and can frequently provide quick pain relief. Because they are passive techniques they often require the client to be seen several times before the changes stay with the client for prolonged periods.
Muscle Energy is an Osteopathic technique in which the practitioner positions the client in a specific alignment and then the client performs a gentle contraction against the resistance of the practitioner. Due to the positioning and the direction of the contractions the bones are then pulled into a better orientation. This results in the bones moving as well as retraining the muscles to help it maintain the improved orientation. This takes more analysis and skill on the part of the practitioner to do well than mobilization but often requires fewer sessions to maintain the desired changes.
All of these techniques can be applied to the other bones of the body and are very useful in restoring full function in areas with many small bones such as the hands and feet. Each of these techniques has its advantages and shortcomings and the challenge for the practitioner is to know which the best is for the client.

Emzor Pharmaceutical Industries Limited is a wholly private indigenous pharmaceutical manufacturing group founded in 1984 by Dr. Stella C. Okoli, OON. The company is into the manufacture of high quality pharmaceutical products and medical consumables. Its holding company, Emzor Chemists Limited opened for retail business in January 1977 in Yaba, Lagos.
The rapid growth of the retail business encouraged Emzor Chemists Limited to venture into the importation and wholesale of assorted pharmaceuticals. The idea to manufacture locally came later and this was predicated on the need to develop local capability, create jobs and provide high quality pharmaceutical products and services to the Nigerian people at prices that are not only affordable but represent value.
Emzor Pharmaceutical Ind. Ltd. started pilot production in 1985. By 1988 it had become an established pharmaceutical manufacturing company especially with the introduction of Emzor Paracetamol which is today a leading brand of analgesic not only in Nigeria but across Sub Saharan Africa.
The company's factory is located in the Isolo industrial area of Lagos with facilities to make a wide variety of high quality pharmaceutical products that meet international standards at affordable and competitive prices. All Emzor products meet the highest international standards and are duly registered with NAFDAC.
The then secretary of Health to the Interim National Government Dr. Christopher Okojie officially commissioned the company's factory in July 1993. The company has since attracted foreign missions, scholars, and students of pharmacy, microbiology and chemistry. In April 1999, Prof. Debo Adeyemi, the Honorable Minister of Health, commissioned the factory extension.
From the modest beginning with four (4) products in 1987, we now manufacture in our factory a wide range of products in the analgesic, anti-malaria, vitamin/haematinics/multivitamin supplement, anti-helmintic, antibiotics and therapeutic categories. The company has in its stable more than 80 different products.
Today, Emzor has become a household name in Nigeria and a leader in the pharmaceutical market that is known for quality products at prices that offer real value. These products are widely distributed throughout Nigeria and the West African coast. Our commitment is to produce and deliver flawless products on time and every time.
We are a people with our passion rooted in the deep personal engagement of all staff who go the extra mile to deliver time valued quality products and services to the delight of our customers. Every project is handled to deliver real time and on time value.
We are a people who dare all odds, challenge the status quo and cross all obstacles in achieving our goals and thus sustain our competitiveness and leadership in the industry. We invest in capacity building and competence enhancement to empower our people to deliver the highest quality products and services. We practice meritocracy to reward excellence and performance as a sure way for continued innovation, creativity and career fulfillment.
In Emzor, honesty and transparency in all our operations are the hallmarks of our business and this forms the basis of our most minimum expectations from all stakeholders because we understand the value of trust and integrity in business as in life. We exhibit candor and authenticity, standing up for a cause, speaking out and speaking up. Emzor has been recognized by numerous professional organizations' certifications and by industry publications. Others have applauded our commitment to quality and our stellar business performance. The company is proud of the contributions made toward breathing health into the lives of people in Africa and around the world.
At Emzor, we strengthen our vertebrae, get up and go! Despite any obstacle, we strive to get the job done. Coming together, working together and getting it done. We have a collegiate management system that actively seeks inputs for decision making. We are a great team on a relay where every component is important and valued. We practice meritocracy to reward excellence and performance as a sure way for continued innovation, creativity and career fulfillment.

Fly Behind the Scenes
Design Build Fly Halfway Finished
by Joseph Wisne
It's late on a Tuesday afternoon, and a group of engineers, technicians, a project manager, and I are gathering around an airplane wing, asking ourselves a question familiar to any parent, or fire inspector.
"What's that smell?"
The vague odor of jet fuel, or maybe some kind of cleaning solvent, permeates our immediate vicinity, which would be logical if we were standing on the airport tarmac, or in an airplane factory. But we're a bunch of exhibit builders, in the middle of Ohio, and this airplane wing – along with two fuselages, cockpits, engines, nose wheels and other parts – are sitting not in an airplane factory but in our 60,000 square foot exhibit factory. Exhibit builders are crawling all over them, measuring, drilling, sanding, painting, mounting projectors, laying down glass floors, and grinding away sharp corners.
But a power grinder makes sparks, and sparks can ignite gasses like evaporated jet fuel, and our job is to build a world-leading interactive science exhibition, not blow one up! Fortunately, the smell turns out to be residue from the wing's empty fuel tanks, and is pretty harmless in the presence of sparks. Whew, disaster averted!
Exploration Place is a leading U.S. science-technology center, and we are delighted that the museum chose our company to help design and build this exciting new exhibit, Design Build Fly. The exhibit will occupy more than 5,000 square feet and contain nearly 50 different interactive experiences, from across Wichita's world of aviation design, engineering, manufacturing and test flight. Some exhibits are based in digital technology, while others are mechanical. Some exhibits blow air, some shake and vibrate, some will simulate flying, and some exhibits will actually fly! Because the project incorporates interactive elements into many parts of real airplanes, it is one of the most sophisticated and challenging designs in our company's history.
Presently, the Design Build Fly exhibition is about half-way finished. Our partners in the aviation industry in Wichita, along with our colleagues at the science center, are just as busy as we are, shipping us parts, chasing down information or photography, and helping our engineers and builders accurately reflect the real people, tools and processes that are used every day in Wichita's biggest industry. Some of these partners will physically build big structures in which to mount the airplane sections, a process that requires careful coordination between all parties, to be sure that the exhibits fit the airplane parts and the airplane parts fit the museum gallery.
This project started with just a single concept illustration. Roto designers rendered a corporate jet filling the exhibit gallery, but split into three large pieces. In the drawing, an unfinished tail section is seen flying high from the ceiling behind an elevated fuselage section. This fuselage was shown in a half-built condition, just like it would look on the factory floor, with yellow insulation exposed, carbon fiber unpainted with open holes where windows go, and unfathomable miles and miles of tubing, cables, wires and ducts strung all throughout the floors, walls and ceilings. In front of that, a fully-completed first-class cabin and cockpit, all decked out with leather and digital avionic instruments. I'm proud to report that Design Build Fly, after more than 3 years and tens of thousands of hours of work, will look a whole lot like that first rendering!
During the next few months, as the final exhibit elements are completed, they will be thoroughly tested here in our shop by test groups, much the same way that software is tested and debugged prior to release. This is to ensure that after installation the finished exhibition will hold up to the thousands of weekly visitors who come to Exploration Place, and last not just for a few months, but for ten years or longer. The durability of modern interactive exhibits is similar to the durability requirements of real airplanes, and just like the aviation industry, interactive exhibits must be continuously maintained to be sure they're always in good working order. So, in addition to shipping and installing the exhibition later this year, we will be busy compiling technical manuals, making parts lists, and collecting plenty of spares.
But opening day is still a half-year away, and we have many exhibits to finish. Software must be coded, mechanisms machined from 3D models and assembled into working order, a thousand feet of LED lighting strips installed into various airplane cavities. Graphics must be written, designed, printed and mounted. Audio-visual speakers, touchscreens, projectors and controllers installed. All to give Exploration Place visitors of every age group four dozen different things to push, pull, build, make, study, fly, and experiment with.
There's even an exhibit that smells like jet fuel!
Joseph Wisne is President and CEO of Roto Group LLC, one of the leading planners, designers and builders of engaging museum exhibits in North America. They are based in Dublin, Ohio.

The No. 1 Gators won a football game, but lost their leader, their heart and soul, when All-America quarterback Tim Tebow took a severe blow to the back of the head while being sacked late in the third quarter.
LEXINGTON, Ky. � The concerned expressions and the quiet, somber mood surrounding the Florida Gators said it all Saturday night.
The No. 1 Gators won a football game, but lost their leader, their heart and soul, when All-America quarterback Tim Tebow took a severe blow to the back of the head while being sacked late in the third quarter.
Tebow was taken from the stadium in an ambulance after getting sick on the sideline in the fourth quarter. Tebow will remain overnight at the University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center for precautionary reasons.
"He'll be fine," UF coach Urban Meyer said after UF's 41-7 victory over Kentucky. "We think he's got a concussion."
Tebow was injured when he took a brutal hit from Kentucky defensive end Taylor Wyndham, who struck Tebow in the chest and facemask. Tebow fell backward, his head crashing into the knee of right tackle Marcus Gilbert.
Tebow lay motionless on the field for several minutes. He eventually was able to sit up and walk off the field on his own power. But he was seriously dazed and ended up throwing up into a bag as he was being carted to the locker room midway through the fourth quarter. Meyer said Tebow never lost consciousness or lost feeling in his arms or legs.
Seeing Tebow lying on the field shook up Meyer and the players � and the several thousand UF fans in attendance, many of whom were hugging each other.
"Imagine your son lying on the ground," Meyer said. "My knees were shaking. My goodness."
Meyer said the first thing Tebow said to him was, "Did I hold onto the ball?"
"He winked at me and said, 'It's great to be a Gator,' " Meyer said. "This team is so close. Two possessions later, kids were coming up to me and saying, 'How is he, how's Tim, how's Tim?' This is a good group."
Tebow was having a huge night before he was injured. During a 31-0 first quarter that knocked Kentucky (2-1) on its heels, Tebow rushed for two touchdowns and passed for another. Tebow finished with 123 yards rushing and 103 passing.
Tebow almost didn't play Saturday night. He was one of 12 ill players who were flown to Lexington on two flights separate from the team flight Friday. But Tebow and the other players were cleared to go, including starters Major Wright, Riley Cooper and Joe Haden.
Tebow fell ill Thursday with a respiratory issue.
"We didn't have a team for a day and a half," Meyer said. "He was in isolation all day yesterday. Thursday after practice, he came up and he had that look in his face. I don't like that look.
"We had some some kids (that were sick). Tim had that look. I thought, 'Oh, gosh.' Our training staff, I can't tell you how fast they worked. They did a phenomenal job, just phenomenal."
Despite the uncertainty with so many players battling illness, the Gators dominated the game with that terrific first quarter and put the game out of reach in the second half. The 31-0 first quarter included a blocked punt for a touchdown by tailback Chris Rainey.
The win improves UF to 4-0 and 2-0 in the SEC.
"College football is all about playing great defense and the offensive line controlling the line of scrimmage," Meyer said. "We got a hand on a punt and that deflated the stadium.
"We came out really charged up and played really hard after a difficult week. I love this team. I love these guys. I love being around them. I love the fact they fight for each other and pray for each other and care for each other. It's really cool.
"For all the negatives in college football, it's really neat to see that. There are some special people in that room."
The Gators rolled up 495 yards of total offense while holding the Wildcats to 11 first downs and 179 total yards.

Recently, there has been a significant demographic trend regarding who is most likely to order marijuana delivery.
A San Francisco startup in the marijuana delivery industry named Eaze surveyed its customers in order to better understand them as an audience. While a few stereotypes were confirmed, the rest immediately dissolved when the results were reviewed. After 10,000 Eaze consumers were reviewed, the business released their findings in a detailed report.
According to the analysis, males (66%) tend to comprise the bulk of Eaze's clientele, and 57% of the survey's respondents are between the ages of 22 and 34, placing them in the infamous millennial category. On top of this, approximately 20% of the participants claimed that they are parents.
Arguably more surprising than these statistics is the fact that that the majority of individuals who use Eaze are well-educated and hold high-paying jobs. Over 50% of respondents hold a Bachelor's degree or higher, and 91% of customers are employed. In fact, 49% of respondents have an annual income of over $75,000, and 16% of all respondents make between $100,000 and $149,000.
The income is not all that surprising, however, when considering that the service they are paying for involves delivering cannabis and cannabis products delivered to their front door through a mobile app. Eaze's survey found that 58% of those who responded consume cannabis every day, and the average they spend annually on cannabis is $1,704. That amount is more than what people typically spend on alcohol, tobacco, and personal care combined.
87% of those who took Eaze's survey said that marijuana has helped curb their alcohol consumption, and of the 40% of respondents who regularly took prescription opiates, 94% said they have reduced their intake due to marijuana. 31% said they have replaced opiates entirely. Those numbers coincide with the movement to end prescription opioid addiction by utilizing medical marijuana treatments.
In the US, cannabis legalization has garnered widespread support in recent years, with more and more advocacy arising as time goes on. While Eaze's home state of California has had legalized medical cannabis for years, the recreational use amendment that was recently passed has caused analysts to project that the cannabis industry in its entirety could exceed over $5 billion by 2018.
Eaze, which managed to secure $13 million in venture capitalist funding last year, has set its sights high and intends to capitalize on the expanding California market, an endeavor that could prove to be insanely lucrative.

The Orange County Sheriff's Department announced that special "roving patrols" will be out this weekend, looking for impaired drivers. Specifically, they're looking to target potential DUI drivers after Super Bowl parties.
Be careful, but keep your rights in mind. Should you find yourself pulled over, anything you say can be used against you, including the standard questions on the side of the road: "Have you had anything to drink?' "Do you feel the effects of the alcohol?"
Unless you're under 21 or are on DUI probation, you do not have to submit to the field breath test (the PAS device – Preliminary Alcohol Screening device). That test may be admissible against you, even though it's not required. What is required is that if you are lawfully arrested for DUI, you must submit to a chemical test (breath or blood) to determine your alcohol level. If you refuse the official test after an arrest, then they can tack on additional punishment and license suspensions.
Keep in mind – if you have been arrested for DUI, you only have 10 days to request a hearing with the DMV or they will automatically suspend your license, no questions asked.
Give my office a call to discuss your situation.
(714) 532-3600

In May and June 2015 the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published opinions on the safety of the chlorophyll colours. Chlorophyll E 140(i) is a normal part of the diet so is considered safe.
However, because the critical toxicological studies date back to the 1950s, EFSA concluded that more current research or safety data is required before it could assess the safety of:
- Chlorophyllins E 140(ii),
- Copper complex of Chlorophylls E 141(i) or
- Copper complexes of Chlorophyllins E 141(ii) (Copper Chlorophyllins).
For this reason the EFSA ANS Panel was unable to establish a firm opinion relating to these colours.
EFSA Scientific Opinion on re-evaluation of chlorophyllins (E 140(ii)) as food additives
EFSA Scientific Opinion on re-evaluation of copper complexes of chlorophylls (E 141(i)) and chlorophyllins (E 141(ii)) as food additives
NATCOL met with the European Commission at the end of September to express its commitment to collaborate with the authorities to address the data gaps and at the same time formally asked that these colours are retained on the market during that process.
NATCOL is developing a tiered testing strategy intended to close the data gaps through the formation of a consortium of interested stakeholders in order to fund and execute these studies.
The Industry is now awaiting the European authorities' final decision on this matter, which we hope will be taken rapidly.

VCBH: Unpopular
Blog hop time. Don't kill me or think less of me for this one.
Mine is that I am 100% in favor of regulated horse slaughter on US soil, with an asterisk - as long as people keep breeding unwanted horses.
If you want an elaborated view of my position, I wrote an essay on this blog about it in December of 2011, available here. I was feeling very soapboxy that day. This is a summary of my beliefs on it:
1. Horses are so expensive to keep that overloading the market with unwanted ones ensures that some of them will end up in bad situations. We are not talking dog or cat expenses here - horse rescues have such a rough go of it compared to other rescues.
2. Horses are generally kept in this country for hobby/performance reasons, because of reason #1. Otherwise all of us would have more than 1, right? If a poorly bred horse can't physically perform and has never had a job, he has less of a chance at a good future with one of us fine sporthorse bloggers. :-) (I do know good horses end up in bad situations, but they are usually exceptions rather than rules in the sale barn, at least out here.)
3. Unwanted horses drag the entire industry down price-wise, (the laws of supply and demand) which brings down the business of intelligent, thoughtful US breeders with solid programs. I want to see people like Connor's breeder or Houston's breeder, and US breeding in general succeed!
4. Regulated horse slaughter on US soil reduces the risk of horrifying days-long truck rides for slaughter-bound horses to Canada or Mexico, or inhumane killing methods.
So really, my stance on slaughter is "Stop breeding so irresponsibly!", but short of that, my stance on slaughter is pro-slaughter. Fire away.

The London Health Commission, led by Lord Darzi, has recommended that smoking in parks is banned.
The Chief Medical Officer supports a ban on the grounds that adults smoking in parks set a poor example to children and young people.
As Redbridge Council's Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, this is something that I'll now be looking at, but I'm keen to know what residents think. So, what do you think? Fill out the survey and let me know!
Best wishes,

Ghost Recon PC players, Ubisoft has announced that Title Update 1.6 is now available.
Hopefully this patch will be arriving on consoles soon.
I know a bunch of people who would appreciate that.
I wish this game a bigger splash in the last year. I love the presentation and the campaign is second to none. Too bad the multiplayer community is dying out fast.
Looks great in 3D too
Bleh, I wish headtracking was bigger
I wish it did too, I actually finally got around to buying it last week.

...our Texarkana yoga studio is the place to be.
We are the only yoga studio within a 60 mile radius, so if you want to find your Zen, come visit!
Owner Jen Dierksen was initially a student at the studio but then purchased the business in 2014. Jen has more than 21 years of teaching experience, and she loves introducing people to the practice of yoga.
Jen coaches men and women at every level, and she even offers YTT (Yoga Teacher Training) certification classes.
Check out this article from a specical edition of Four States Living magazine to learn more about why we do what we do:
A Way of Life
by Ellen Orr
TXK Yoga owner Jen Dierksen is an impassioned proselytizer. "If you have a pulse, you should be practicing yoga," she said. "It doesn't matter what nationality you are, what religion you are, whether you're a man or a woman, whether you're curvy or small. You can do yoga on the ground, in a chair, in a hospital bed. Babies can do mommy-and-me yoga. Kids, adults, seniors—they all can do yoga. Yoga is for everybody."
It might seem easy for Jen to say these things: she has practiced yoga for 21 years, and, conventionally fit and able, she is an extraordinarily talented yogi and teacher. But Jen isn't just talk: she walks the walk, having spent the last two years consciously making her studio an inclusive space that serves a huge demographic and has revolutionized the Texarkana yoga culture.
Before Jen bought TXK Yoga, the Texarkana yoga scene was primarily women ages 30 to 45, and it was all about "hot yoga," a style of yoga that is high-intensity and is completed in a heated room. It was considered primarily as "exercise" or a "workout." "We don't call yoga 'exercise,' though technically it is like calisthenics with deep breaths," Jen said. "All of the physical [benefits] you get from yoga are really cool—from [benefitting] the endocrine system, to the reproductive system, to skin, respiratory, lymphatic, you name it—it helps every system that keeps the body running properly. But what you come away with more than anything is this calmness, this equanimity. And that's what makes it different from other forms of 'exercise.'"
So, when Jen bought the studio on December 31, 2014, she made it her mission to incorporate other styles of yoga, emphasize the spiritual as well as the physical, and thereby reach a wider range of people. "I wanted to open the studio up to people who didn't just want to do hot yoga," she said. "Hot yoga is trendy and fun, and it's my personal favorite, but not everybody wants to do that. So we've added warm- temperature and air-conditioned classes. It's now really awesome because we have all walks of life: senior citizens, 12-year-olds, teenagers… everybody."
This major undertaking couldn't be accomplished overnight. Jen soon found herself overloaded with classes, teaching up to six high-intensity classes a day. Besides exhausting herself, she recognized that she alone couldn't offer to her students the range of options for which she strove. There just weren't enough teachers in the area to accommodate her dreams—so she solved that problem by bringing a yoga teacher training program to Texarkana.
Now, thanks in part to the training program, TXK Yoga boasts more than 20 instructors, and there's a teacher for everybody. "I don't force any style or plan of instruction on any of the instructors, because I want them all to develop their own styles," Jen said. "I personally teach hot [yoga], but other teachers do restorative, more of a gentle flow."
"Build it, and they will come," and come they did: up to 800 people pass through the studio per month. But Jen had in her heart a specific demographic that wasn't being reached: the senior citizen community.
"Through my family connection to hospice [at Dierksen Hospice], I've seen what terminal illness, end-of-life care, and how disease can cause so much suffering, and disease, and depression. But yoga is something that can alleviate pain, stimulate the lymphatic system and prevent illnesses." However, Jen found that many senior citizens could not afford classes—so, as she does, she found other ways to achieve her goal. TXK Yoga became a "Silver and Fit" facility, which allows seniors to pay for classes with Medicare supplements. Currently, the oldest yogi at the studio is 93. TXK Yoga also holds free senior classes at the Wadley Senior Center every Monday at 1:30. "Our engagement with the senior community has just gone crazy," she said, "seeing so many senior citizens come through the door and live like they've never lived before."
TXK Yoga has accomplished much already, and Jen has grand ambition moving forward. "My goal for 2017 is to get yoga everywhere," she said. That means churches, schools, and parks. It means online classes. And it may mean a second location in Texarkana. Big things are ahead for this local business.
"If you have a pulse" and are interested in trying yoga this new year, TXK Yoga offers an introductory package and allows class drop-ins.

The sports might have compromised but that's as far as it went as far giving an inch to a Celtic cousin.
Two teams representing shinty clubs from the Highlands and Islands squared up to hurling counterparts, members of Micheal Breathnach's hurling team and the women's Cumann Camógaíochta Chois Fharraige, on the last Sunday in July on Micheal Breathnach's grounds.
It was Seumas against Séamas, Calum against Colm or, in the first match, Ciorstaidh NicLeoid from Oilithigh Dhún Éideann club taking on Siobhán Ní Mhaoileáin. Both sticks are known as 'camáns' and the Scottish swing is reminiscent of a very wide trajectory golfing drive which the Irish did well to avoid.
Iomain Cholmcille, as this 'clash of the Ish' is now known, has been up and running since 2007, when Inverin club Micheal Breathnachs took to the field in Oban. There was a special rapport between Gaelic and Gaedhlig speaking communities which ran in tandem with their national counterparts meeting from time to time. Connemara and the Islands and Highlands are keen to grow that bond with reciprocal trips.
The Irish have the upper hand overall in this particular hybrid game and both local sides won their matches relatively easy. Bar the goalkeepers, players are not allowed handle the sliotar but the hurlers can carry the ball on their 'bos' which isn't feasible with the narrower Scottish stick. This puts the Irish players at an advantage – but outlawing soloing with the sliotar would make it a complete ground game, where the advantage would see a definite swing to the Scots.
Although the games were fiercely contested, Scottish manager Eoghan Stiubhart wasn't too disappointed.
It's home advantage in the next encounter with maybe a hot fire planned for the Irish teams' goalmouths.

Your inner world can have a tremendous effect on the decisions that you make, the actions you take and on your general level of happiness, confidence and self-esteem.
Your beliefs affect your thoughts, feelings and actions. The actions that you take will ultimately create your life. However, many of your beliefs are incorrect, no longer relevant or no longer useful. However, they still drive our thoughts and emotions as they are largely habitual.
Changing any of these internal components will influence the results that you experience. The good news is that your inner world is under your control, though making changes that stick can be challenging. However, if you can change your mind on a consistent basis, your life will follow:
Here are a few great ways to do this.
1. Examine your beliefs.
Write down a list of the beliefs that are holding you back and then question them. Ask yourself the following questions:
- Where did you get this belief?
- Why do you believe it's accurate?
- Is there a possibility that this belief is false?
- How much evidence do you really have in support of this belief?
- What if this belief was NOT true?
2. Use positive affirmations.
Continually give yourself positive thoughts and uplifting self-talk throughout the day, even when you don't feel like doing it. Hint: This is the best time! Negative thoughts lead to negative emotions. Positive thoughts will fill you with positive emotions. With positive thoughts, you will have more energy, get more done, be happier and more successful.
3. Track your thoughts.
A great way to do this is to set an alarm on your smart phone, to notify you each hour. When the alarm sounds, think about how you have used your mind over the previous 60 minutes.
Some of the questions that you can use include:
- What did you think about?
- Was your attention focused on the task at hand or did you worry about other things in your life?
- Did you use your mind to better your future?
- Were you focusing on what you want, or what you don't want?
Measuring yourself each hour will help you to stay focused and start to cement new patterns of thinking into place. It's all too easy to fall into old patterns if you only check yourself once a day.
4. Start and end your day by experiencing gratitude.
It's so easy to focus on what you don't have. It seems like we are programmed to think this way. However, this is only a habit that can be changed. So instead, spend a few minutes before bed listing the 10 things that went well for you today. I do this everyday and it is a wonderful thing to do just before going to sleep.
By focusing on the positive, you'll brighten your mood and increase the number of good things that come into your life. This follows the key premise of the Law of Attraction that like attracts like.
5. Focus on solutions.
It's a big mistake to spend your time focusing on your problems. It makes you feel terrible and hopeless and that's not a good place to be. It also fails to solve the challenge that you are facing. When something is going wrong in your life, you want to switch into solution-finding mode.
What can you do to make a positive change? Start by making a list of all the things that you could do. You will find that you have far more options than you realise.
6. Learn to meditate.
Meditation has many physical and mental benefits. It can reduce stress, strengthen your health, help to strip away those limiting beliefs and bring you clarity and focus. Meditation is one action that can have a huge, positive effect on your life and it's so easy to do!
Incorporate time for meditation into your schedule each day. Just 10 minutes a day can make a real difference. Start by focusing on your breathing. Each time you notice your mind wonder (and that will be often to start with), gently return the focus of your attention to your breathing.
7. Stay grounded in reality.
Many of us are not living in the present. We're thinking about the past or speculating on the future. However, if you concentrate on living intentionally in the present moment, the future will bring the joy you hope for. It's also very hard to be stressed or anxious, when you are completely immersed in the present moment.
Remember that life is whizzing by 24/7. The actions you take right now determine your future. However, you can't act today if your mind is elsewhere.
8. Take care of your body.
When your body is out of sorts, it skews the way you interpret the world. We are guided by our feelings, and when your health is compromised, your emotions can be misleading. Remember to eat well, exercise often and get plenty of sleep. It's basic stuff, but this makes such a difference to me and I'm sure it will for you too.
To Finish
Most of us believe we're victims of our circumstances, but we're actually victims of our own thinking. No matter how bad your situation might be, someone has started with an even worse situation and led an incredible life. Changing your inner world is the key to changing your outer world. Take some time to apply these 8 steps and I'm sure you will notice the changes.
To your success
