Do you have empathy for victims of hoarding disease?
Empathy is the notion of being able to put yourself in the shoes and the mindset of someone else and this blog talks about how to put yourself in the shoes of someone who suffers from hoarding disease. Keeping in mind 2%-5% of the U.S. population (approximately 16 million people) suffer from this disease, don't judge the victim but understand that this is truly a mental illness. If you're wanting to learn more of this mental illness or how you can help yourself or someone you know through their hoarding, many services offer diagnosis and treatment for compulsive hoarding.
Hoarding disease is a disorder that is defined as a persistent difficulty in discarding or parting with possessions because of a perceived need to save them. Studies have shown that this type of disorder generally starts during someone's midlife and it tends to get worse as they get older. Therefore as aging takes place the higher the probability of finding hoarders.
Some of us may not relate to why an individual may find it difficult to part with their possessions. Studies have shown that most of the time this has to do with the individual's past and emotional trauma. In most instances, it isn't often started by any single event but the behavior does get chronic and increases slowly over many years. At times if the individuals past relates to poverty and not having the minimal physiological needs, a lot of the time hoarding happens because of mostly the sentimental attachment and novelty of keeping items that weren't obtainable during times of poverty. Interestingly enough 85% of hoarding individuals grew up with another hoarder but there is still no real evidence that this is a genetic issue.
It is one thing to be attached to items but excessive attachment to possessions is where it becomes tough. Friends and family can't help because the anxiety that goes hand in hand with disposing and destruction of any items becomes really high. Hoarding is a mental health issue, where individuals have trouble making decisions, to throw or not to throw, to burn or not to burn so the easier option is to keep it all. So after a few years of hoarding, any living space becomes filled with clutter, debris and much more, enabling areas in the home like the kitchen, bathrooms, stairways and rooms unusable. This now attracts insects, pests and vermin perhaps other wild animals and routine home repairs and maintenance to the home are ignored because of the shame of having a contractor come in to fix things.
Believe it or not, shame and embarrassment are integrated when it comes to victims of hoarding disorder. It can be so bad as to the hoarder avoiding family and friends in their home, isolating themselves. They want the help but they don't know how to cry out for help. This is really an important emotional issue that non-hoarders like neighbors, first responders and contractors need to be mindful of when dealing with people who have hoarding disease. Just like any mental disease, the mere fact of facing the world for these hoarders cause, anxiety, depression, obesity and many more.
At HoarderHomes.com we are very mindful of the mindset, the emotional turmoil hoarders face. Our plight is purely to help hoarders and their families move forward by buying the home as it is. It is too overwhelming for both the hoarder and the family member to begin cleaning up years of stuff and debris! It really is a job in itself and the best thing is to sell it to us and we will take it from there. Therapy will be next for hoarders and family members who are affected by the hoarders condition. Our approach is not so much to intimidate anyone, but to offer a quick price on the home. All anyone has to do is provide us with the information we require HERE and we will respond fast with a cash offer. We normally close under 10 days and most of our clients have a sigh of relief. So don't feel all hope is gone when you are in a hoarding situation, cash out and start afresh with HoarderHomes.com

Sip Wine and Play Bocce Ball at The Hidden Vine
If the delightful spring weather makes you want to go play outside, seek out The Hidden Vine. In addition to a voluminous cellar housing mostly California and Italian wines, this cozy wine bar in the Financial District boasts outdoor bocce ball every Monday through Saturday, on a wind-proof court. Make reservations ahead of time for an hour-long slot on the bocce court for your party of up to 12.

This inside account of digital disruption at the venerable New Republic by former editor Franklin Foer is likely to feel familiar to anyone working in the news business today — you read it with a sense of foreboding since the underlying question is whether journalistic diversity is compatible with a digital business model that relies of mass appeal and the quest for greater and greater audience.
There are many interesting tidbits here. According to Foer, owner Chris Hughes, one of the founders of Facebook, hates selling advertising, which "makes him feel seedy." His description of an obsessive compulsion with Chartbeat illustrates the influence data and metrics have on journalism. But it is his description of how reliance on Silicon Valley has warped the media market that gives the piece its power:
"As Silicon Valley has infiltrated the profession, journalism has come to unhealthily depend on the big tech companies, which now supply journalism with an enormous percentage of its audience—and, therefore, a big chunk of its revenue.
"Dependence generates desperation—a mad, shameless chase to gain clicks through Facebook, a relentless effort to game Google's algorithms. It leads media outlets to sign terrible deals that look like self-preserving necessities: granting Facebook the right to sell their advertising, or giving Google permission to publish articles directly on its fast-loading server. In the end, such arrangements simply allow Facebook and Google to hold these companies ever tighter.
"What makes these deals so terrible is the capriciousness of the tech companies. Quickly moving in a radically different direction may be great for their bottom line, but it is detrimental to the media companies that rely on the platforms. Facebook will decide that its users prefer video to words, or ideologically pleasing propaganda to more-objective accounts of events—and so it will de-emphasize the written word or hard news in its users' feeds. When it makes shifts like this, or when Google tweaks its algorithm, the web traffic flowing to a given media outlet may plummet, with rippling revenue ramifications. The problem isn't just financial vulnerability, however. It's also the way tech companies dictate the patterns of work; the way their influence can affect the ethos of an entire profession, lowering standards of quality and eroding ethical protections."

The beach with tropical oats
It hard to believe its October and just a couple of days ago I spent one of the hottest days this year walking along a beach in the beating sun and eating chips whilst the sunset! (oops, well I am allowed a naughty treat every now and again)
Crazy English weather- but I'm not complaining this time (just would have been nice to have seen some of this weather during August!)
The crash of the waves, the heat of the sun and the feint whiff of sun cream was still on my mind when I woke up the following morning ready for a bowl of…. tropical oats!
I had taken a pic-nic for our beach trip. Filled with veg sticks and hummous, cous cous, fresh bread, fruit and a couple of bags of these….
Mini bags of 'infused' raisins by Nakd (the Nakd bar people), and not having tried them before I couldn't help myself. Strangely moorishly yummy!
The pineapple infused raisins caught my eye when I opened up the cupboard to 'discover' breakfast and before long they had made friends with some mango, nectarine and coconut butter, all mixed together in a lovely bowl of tropical goodness…. Now all I need is my sunglasses and lounger!
Recipe: tropical Porridge oats
- A serving of oats soaked in soy milk (see this post for my basic oats)
- 1 to 2 tsp coconut butter
- 1 handful of fresh or frozen mango chunks
- 1 nectarine cut up into chunks
- Mini packet of pineapple infused raisins (or actual fried pineapple pieces!)
- Dollop of soy yoghurt
- Sprinkling of coconut chips (if desired or if omitting the coconut butter)
Pre-soak the oats in the soy milk and then mix through the coconut butter. Cover the oats with the mango and nectarine chunks and lightly mix into the oats. Top the mix with the infused raisins/pineapple and a dollop of soy yoghurt and a sprinkling of coconut chips (I didn't have any coconut chips to hand).
The perfect breakfast for a hot 'summers' day (or even the depths of winter when you need reminding of what summer actually feels like!)

TQS has prepared this checklist to enable you to assess your current Quality Management system against the ISO 9001:2015 requirements. It is useful if the user has some level of familiarity the ISO 9001:2015 requirements. Once the gap analysis is completed, your organization can utilize the results of the analysis to start your transition to comply with the requirements.How to Use the Checklist:
The first column of the checklist lists all the ISO 9001:2015 requirements by section number. The second column of the checklist named "Observations" is used to document what the auditor has observed during the assessment. The auditor should interview all the processes owners associated with the element. The auditor should document results of the interviews including any records examined and the results of the examination.
The next two columns are used to indicate the level of compliance with the ISO requirements. The auditor utilizes the results of the observations to determine the level of compliance with the requirement. The auditor checks the (NC) nonconformance box if the auditor observed that the process owners were unaware of the requirement, were not following the requirement, or records examined were not consistent with the standards' record requirements. If the auditor observed some level of compliant practices, the percent compliant is entered into the (COM) compliant box.
The final column is used to document the auditors recommendations for converting the nonconformances observed during the assessment into compliant practices. This is a crucial step in the assessment and the recommendations should include best practices along with recommendations obtained from the process owners interviewed. The auditor should explore current untapped resources including software and informal practices that can be utilized if formalized to comply with the requirements.
*The ISO 9001:2015 Gap Analysis Checklist is copyright protected but you may use for auditing your company. It is not to be redistributed, modified or sold. You may add text to the portions where data may be entered, saved and printed.*Please call 412-968-9101 if you have any questions regarding Terms of Use

I always enjoy welcoming a new year. It's an opportunity to start fresh, and to enjoy the excitement and anticipation of what the coming year holds.
For many people, the New Year is a time to finally decide to do something about their old décor. Investing in your home is always a sound decision and an exciting prospect. The first thing you should ask yourself, though, is whether you're planning far enough ahead.
Yes, the year has just begun, and summer seems like it's a long way away. But renovations – even small-scale ones – can take longer and be much more involved than you might imagine. If you want to be sure that you won't spend summer break wandering through a house in disarray with children, pets and construction professionals, now is the time to get the ball rolling.
People often ask me why they ought to take such a long view of a renovation project. There are many reasons, and most of them are related to the time it takes to get things just right and avoid costly missteps and mistakes.
Of course, there's the construction side, which has its own timetable. We have to be aware of that timetable and work within it. We also have to make decisions based on the construction process – for example, you can't install your countertops and finish your kitchen until you've decided what you want to do with your cabinets.
Even if you aren't planning on taking down walls or installing new cabinetry, you shouldn't expect everything to be quick and easy. People who haven't worked with a designer before don't always realize how many items are custom ordered to meet their needs and desires. It really isn't a matter of picking something out of a catalog. An experienced and thorough designer has to take scale, proportion, color and function into account, and make sure each decision fits into the design as a whole.
Once you decide on items, there's the question of availability. If we do choose the perfect chair, or rug, or a lamp, there's no guarantee it will be available– it may be on backorder, or it may take time to custom make. If it's the perfect piece, it may be well worth waiting for. Or, it may be wiser to invest time in finding something that's more readily available.
Sometimes, clients want to go slowly, and take on their home a little bit at a time. It's up to them – they set the deadlines, and they're in charge of what they want done and when. With that in mind, though, I advise clients to expect renovation projects to take between 3 to 4 months, depending on the availability of selections, and how much time they want to invest in making decisions.
Overall, a renovation is not a speedy process. Good design is an investment of time and money, and you want to make sure that neither is wasted. If you're patient, you take your time, and you take full advantage of your designer's expertise, you'll find that it's a small sacrifice to make for years of enjoyment of your home.

It is no secret that I am a huge believer in the power of meditation. Heck, I teach people how to become mindful, how to meditate. Today though I am not going to go over the benefits of meditation. There is an episode that talks about that very thing; probably more than one of I think about it.
Since meditation is one of the ingredients for a perfect day it seemed necessary to talk about it this week. However, I do know that not everyone knows how to meditate so I have come up with non-meditative practices that help you achieve the same goals as meditation. The best thing is that the methods I discuss don't require any specialized training.

As you probably know, before I got my Honda Fit EV, I drove a Honda Civic Hybrid. For the most part, the Civic Hybrid was a great little car that saved me lots of fuel. However, about a year and a half ago, the battery started to act up.
The Civic Hybrid keeps track of the IMA battery's state-of-charge (SoC) in an interesting way. What it does is start with a full battery and keeps track of the SoC by calculating it based on how much power it has put in or taken out of the battery. However, this method isn't perfect, and the battery will eventually end up at a lower SoC than the car thinks. When this occurs, the car recalibrates the battery pack. During the recalibration process, the car uses the gasoline engine to recharge the battery pack, which not only inhibits fuel economy, it inhibits the car's acceleration to a dangerous level. A new vehicle will only do this occasionally, maybe once or twice per year. At that rate, it's not a big deal for the driver. However, as the vehicle ages, the battery pack deteriorates and begins to calibrate more often.
About a year and a half ago, the battery began recalibrating about every week, which got pretty annoying as I'm sure you can imagine. I read up on the issue online and decided that my best course of action was to replace the 12V battery as a bad 12V battery could be putting a larger load on the IMA battery (the car has no alternator and the 12V battery is charged from the 158V IMA battery through a DC-DC converter). Unfortunately, the new battery didn't help. I was seeing recalibrations at the same frequency.
In December 2011, I started to record the frequency of the recalibrations. I recorded all sorts of data including time, temperature, and odometer miles (Siri made recording this all very easy during my drive). I wasn't able to find any pattern as to when the battery would recalibrate. At this point, the battery was recalibrating about once every three days. After a few weeks, I got sick of logging the recalibrations and put that on hold.
In February 2012, I began logging the recalibrations again. At this point, the recalibrations were occurring about every other day on average. I started to notice a pattern at this time. The longer the car sat between drives, the more likely the car was to recalibrate. The length of time was shortened in warmer or colder climates. Remember, I'm in San Diego so cold is 40F and hot is 85F. The chance of a recalibration occurring was also greater if the AC was running, as the AC puts an extra load on the IMA battery pack.
In March 2012, I was still logging recalibrations. I took a 900-mile road trip and the car only recalibrated once on each 450-mile trip. After the first recalibration the car essentially drove normally. (Note: There have been several shorter trips where the battery recalibrated twice). At the end of March, I once again got sick of recording the recalibrations and took a break.
Not much changed between March 2012 and August 2012. The recalibrations became more frequent, but I hadn't done anything about it. Once I received my Fit EV, I was able to take the car in and not worry about being car-less. I took the Fit into Hoehn Honda in Carlsbad in early September. When the tech turned the car on, he noticed that it started using the starter motor. Generally the Hybrid motor will start the engine, creating a softer, quieter, more efficient start. However, if the IMA battery is too low, the 12V starter motor starts the car. I'm glad this happened to the tech, because it really shows what shape the IMA battery is in.
Hoehn Honda's explanation was that my ScanGauge (an OBD-II trouble code reader, that reports faults, MPG, temperatures, RPM, and all sorts of info) was putting too much of a drain on the battery. There are a few problems with this. First, the OBD-II port is powered from the 12V battery, not the 158V IMA battery. A drain on the 12V battery will not affect the IMA battery while the car is sitting because the DC-DC converter (what charges the 12V battery from the 158V battery) only operates when the car was running. However, let's assume that the scangauge was somehow linked into the hybrid battery. The dealership gave me current drain numbers (though they were initially in Volts, then Amps, then I corrected them to milliamps). I did some quick calculations based on the numbers they gave me (60mA drain over 12 hours at 12V = about 9 Whrs, or 1.0% of the original pack capacity). That is about two iPhone batteries worth of energy storage. But remember, this is irrelevant because the scangauge isn't draining the IMA battery at all.
Still convinced that the ScanGauge is the issue, Honda disconnects it and charges up the hybrid battery. The next morning they turn the car on and the dash is reading 100%. They say it's fine and ask me to come get it. At this point, I should have asked them to drive the car, because I knew it was not fine. It always shows a good SoC in the morning, but once the car is driven for a few minutes the recalibration process begins. I went to pick the car up and within 20 seconds, the battery dropped to two bars and began recalibrating. This further proves that the ScanGauge was not causing the issues, so I left the car at the dealership for the tech to look at again.
However, the tech was still convinced that it was the ScanGauge. He used his DTC tool to measure the battery's capacity and it read 75%. He explained that there's no way a 5-year old battery would be in that good of shape, so he knows his reading was wrong. What worries me is that if 75% is not expected at 5 years, Honda must be seeing some extreme degradation. Anyway, he told me that the reason it was reading 75% was that because the ScanGauge had been causing the computer to reset every night, the car didn't have a good idea of the capacity. After researching online, I found that the cars almost always read 75% after the battery has been charged. They don't read the true value unless the car has been sitting overnight. I'm not sure if the 75% number is a software bug or another trick that Honda put in with the latest software update. I'm glad the tech realized that number was incorrect, but I wish he knew how to get the right number instead of giving me the car back. He basically told me to drive it for a few weeks and one of two things will happen: Either the car will fix itself or the IMA light will come on.
Knowing that the ScanGauge wasn't the problem, I doubted that either of those two things would happen, so I asked him what would happen if I kept seeing symptoms, but no light came on. (According to the tech, the light doesn't come on until the battery pack is at 10% or less capacity, thanks to the latest software update). He assured me that if I was still seeing issues they would work with Honda of America to get me a new battery. I decided what I needed to do was drive the car for a few weeks, so that we could move onto the next step.
Instead of driving on clean, cheap, domestic electricity, I drove for two weeks in the civic hybrid, burning fossilized dinosaur juice like some sort of barbarian. I recorded every drive (on camera) and was seeing about 1.5 recalibrations per day. Before I could take it back to Hoehn Honda, another dealership, Honda of Escondido, emailed me about the Fit EV. After telling them how great the Fit EV has been, I explained the issues I was having with the Civic Hybrid's IMA battery and that I wasn't seeing much progress with Hoehn (though Hoehn was not nearly as bad as other dealership I've read about online).
After hearing about my Civic Hybrid troubles, my saleswoman scheduled a rep from Honda of America to come down and look at my car. I wrote the rep a two and a half page letter and included spreadsheets of the recalibration frequencies, as well as the documentation from Hoehn Honda. He drove my car and came right back and told my service advisor to order a new IMA battery.
The battery arrived the next day and the repair took an additional day. Three days is the quickest I've heard of an IMA battery being ordered and replaced. I was not expecting that at all. Because of the battery pack's 10-year/150,000 mile warranty, I paid nothing for the repair. My car now drives like new and I'm seeing about 45 MPG again (up from 33MPG during the two weeks before the battery replacement). On my way home from the dealership, my average was over 50MPG! The car drives entirely different now and has recalibrated zero times, even after sitting for several days.
I am super happy that I was able to get this repair done, and now it's time to sell my Civic Hybrid. However, there are still many other Civic Hybrid owners out there struggling to get their batteries replaced. We purchased the cars with a warranty that we expected to be honored, but many dealerships are refusing to replace the packs (and saying that Honda of America is telling them that they can't). If you are in this situation, here are a few suggestions:
- Log every time the car recalibrates, so you have historical data of the issue. The earlier you can start this, the better, I had a nice graph that showed the frequency of recalibrations increasing over time.
- Record your drives. I recorded the dashboard and have over an hour of recalibration footage from just two weeks. I didn't have to use this, but it shows the issue very well.
- Mention that it's a safety issue. I was nearly rear-ended during the two weeks that Hoehn had advised me to drive the car. They told me to drive an unsafe car, which was a huge liability for them.
- Try a different dealership. If you aren't getting help from your normal dealership, sometimes another will have more experience with hybrids or just be more willing to help you.
- Bring in small claims court paperwork. I was prepared to do this, with all of the data that I had collected. Luckily I didn't do this, but others have and just the paperwork was enough for the dealership to do the replacement. If they still don't, take them to court! Your battery pack is under warranty and is not operating as it should.
With the newer software, which goes much easier on the battery pack, I expect the new battery to last at least 8 years before it needs to be replaced. Similarly, 2009 and up Civic Hybrids that came with the new software shouldn't have battery issues until after the warranty period is up. Overall, I'm not happy that Honda did a poor job with the IMA battery, but I am happy with the way they handled the situation.
Of course, I'm also very happy with my Fit EV. The Fit EV has an extra robust battery that can take twice the number of charge cycles of a standard EV battery and can operate in wider temperature ranges. The Lithium Ion batteries in the Fit EV also require a much more advanced battery management system than the Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries in the Civic Hybrid, which will take care of the batteries much better. It will be interesting to see if Honda learned from the hybrids (I'm sure they did) and made improvements on the battery life of the EVs. I'm sure I won't see any major issues like this within just three years of driving the Fit EV, but after a few years we will be able to do some rough comparison with the Nissan LEAFs to see how our batteries are holding up.

Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell released a new campaign ad this morning, but had to pull it immediately because of a millisecond mistake that has everyone talking. Fortunately, LEO Weekly's Joe Sonka was able to grab the video before they pulled it down.
What was the mistake? McConnell's staff showed clips of Louisville winning the national title last season, and instead of Kentucky winning it the previous season, they used the footage of Duke's title win in 2010 (check the 1:09 mark):
The campaign quickly spliced in a shot of Julius Randle and released the new version:
Between this mistake by McConnell, a Republican, and Louisville mayor Greg Fischer, a Democrat, proclaiming Friday "Cardinal Red Day," it seems like both parties are determined to piss UK fans off.
UPDATE: The McConnell campaign had to pull the ad because it violated NCAA rules by showing a current player. Overall, just a bad day for them.
UPDATE x 2: UK released a statement saying that use of footage with Randle was not an NCAA violation because the school wasn't aware it happened, and the school has sent the McConnell campaign a cease and desist letter:
The University of Kentucky consulted with the NCAA earlier today regarding footage of Julius Randle in a Mitch McConnell advertisement. Although the use of the student-athlete's image in the advertisement is not permissible,because it was done without the knowledge or permission of the university or the student-athlete, it is not an NCAA violation. The University of Kentucky has sent a cease and desist letter and will continue to take appropriate measures to ensure improper usage of a student-athlete's name, image or likeness is prevented.

The frequency of M&A insurance claims is rising as large deals prove risky and the average payout on the most severe category of claims tops $20 million, according to AIG's latest study of its Warranty & Indemnity claims.
The study, now in its second year, examined policy years 2011 to 2015. This year, we looked into claims severity for the first time, revealing that more than half of all material claims (those incurring more than $100,000) during the period were $1 million or more.
"The bigger and more complicated a deal is, the more likely there is an unknown liability lingering. We are paying sizeable claims, sometimes writing eight-figure checks in different geographies."

The football star and model Gisele Bündchen want something that's traditional – and that Tom can pronounce!
When it comes to picking out a name for their week-old baby, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen are still huddling.
The couple had already settled on a name months before Bündchen, 29, gave birth to a boy last Tuesday, but then she had a change of heart.
"It's kind of back to the drawing board," Brady, 32, said in an interview on WEEI Sports Radio. "We thought we had a name picked out for about six months and then about two days before he was born she said, 'I don't like that name anymore.'"
And Brady, who quickly returned to work as quarterback of the New England Patriots, says the couple will need more than the little time they can currently scrape together to have a serious discussion about the matter.
"She makes all these decisions," Brady joked, adding, "I haven't been home all week. We have about seven or eight choices. I have got to be home for more than just two-three hours so we can talk about it."
His only condition? "It will probably be a traditional [name]," he says. And though he doesn't mind choosing a Brazilian name, in honor of his wife's heritage, "I certainly want a name that I can pronounce!"

First, its important to distinguish between fees an airport may levy and those of the FBO use of its facilities. Airports often levy their own fees but depend on the FBO to collect them. To pilots, this can be a distinction without a difference, and the FBO can come off as the bad guy. Meanwhile, pilots need to know before they land how much they should expect to pay for the privilege of using the airports and FBOs facilities, especially if its a single-FBO monopoly. They also should have the option of paying a minimal fee for minimal service. So, two things should happen, in my view.

Woof (hi to all the humans)! Every Sunday my daddy, papa, and I sit down to watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta and then turn off the television, but this past Sunday was different: Mad Men returned!
So I put on my pearls, poured us all a glass of whiskey on ice, and lit up a cigar. Oh, yeah, and I also dressed up as some of the main characters. It was quite the affair.
Take a look below at my Mad Men looks and find more of my fun images on my Instagram account, @bonjourbrie.

"When Daddy closes the treat jar, Papa opens it back up."
"You want to be taken seriously? Stop acting like a puppy!"
"As far as I'm concerned, as long as dogs bark at me, I'm earning my keep."
"Are you gonna give me a treat or just stare at me while I do tricks?"
"I just feel like I ate a bag of corn-filled kibble."
"You say you're going to give me treats and then you don't. And you just can't do that!"

Most, if not all of us, have seen those stereotypical films of American kids in the 1950s wearing the blue jeans and white T-shirt combo that was the fashion at the time. When matches with a pair of high-top tennis shoes it was virtually an unofficial uniform. But when we indulged in the films which starred these American 'cool cats' did we ever pay much mind to the details of those must-have trousers?

The essential guide to buying pocket barometers
About Pocket Barometers
The name of a pocket barometer is already self-explanatory, simply meaning a barometer that you can fit into your pocket. Originally Victorian men would wear them in their waistcoat pockets. The first pocket barometers were produced in the early 1860s.
Before there were dive watches: what divers used
It was thelaunch of Blancpain and Rolex's respective first edition wristwatches designed for divers to use in the early 1950s that created the archetype of the modern dive watch. This is greatly thanks to the development of the quintessential rotating bezel. However they these manufacturers did not invent the first watch to be used by divers.

When people lose an arm or a leg, there is always grief, said Col. Jennifer Menetrez, M.D. But there is also a new awareness of what amputees can do.
Some run a marathon, some play sled hockey (a form of ice hockey, complete with body slams), some use a FlowRider � like those featured on cruise ships � to do a form of indoor surfing.
�It�s not about what they could do before. It�s about all the things they didn�t realize they could do that they now are forced to try,� she said.
Col. Menetrez, director of the Center for the Intrepid at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, spoke yesterday at Neuroprosthetics 2010, an international symposium at Worcester Polytechnic Institute focused on implantable artificial limbs and prosthetic devices. Other speakers were scheduled to talk about fusing metal posts into amputees� bones (osseointegration), the challenge of getting the body to form an infection-resistant seal around such a post (soft tissue integration) and how prosthetics might eventually work with an amputee�s nervous system, allowing for fine motor control.
WPI�s Bioengineering Institute sponsored the event, which was aimed at scientists, clinicians, manufacturers, veterans and others.
Col. Menetrez helped provide the background for solutions. She urged the crowd of researchers and students to think about why a doctor would want to prescribe a given device over what already exists. As someone who led the military medical response to the Haiti earthquake for three months, she also reminded them that the conditions under which a prosthetic might work in the U.S. do not necessarily exist abroad; amputees need to be able to do some of the adjustments and repairs to their prosthetics themselves. In Haiti, for instance, people didn�t always have appropriate wheelchairs, and getting to a rehab clinic was a workout itself.
Many amputees are �chomping at the bit� to rejoin their fellow soldiers, state Secretary of Veterans� Services Thomas G. Kelley said, and Col. Menetrez noted that amputees do return to the field.
�Sometimes our patients are going to be God knows where, maybe deployed again, and they�re going to have their extra legs in their bag� and won�t be able to get to their prosthetist to have their leg adjusted or fixed when something goes wrong, she said.
Col. Menetrez works with wounded soldiers, but the majority of the country�s amputees come from vascular problems related to diabetes or other issues, she said. In terms of soldiers, however, there have been 826 amputees from the Iraq war and 271 from the war in Afghanistan, she said. About 20 percent of those soldiers lost more than one limb.
�Our patients were in a war. They were blown up,� she said.
Her patients also sound indestructible, but recovering from the trauma they�ve suffered takes a lot of different kinds of help, Col. Menetrez said. The Center for the Intrepid houses much of it under one roof: physical and occupational therapy, case management, research, veterans� services and connections to the soldier�s unit.

Smart edge video recording of track crossings for incident detection and vehicle identification
Being able to identify when a vehicle has illegally crossed a rail track has now become easier and smarter.
By utilising a Mobotix dual lens camera with enhanced optics to clearly view license plates, positioned facing the rail crossing, its now possible to record evidence of the dangerous behaviour. The detection and recording are only started when the crossing lights are enabled and both pre and post recording durations can be enabled. By only recording when the crossing is active, the solution cuts down on storage requirements and provides a quicker method to review any possible incidents.
Solution Overview
Solution Features
- Smart recording triggered when lights on boom gates are activated
- Programmable recording period to save unnecessary storage
- High temperature rated PoE hardware
- Dual lens camera to identify vehicle number plates, while also providing overview of scene
- Cellular and wireless communication options

Antiterror.ca serves as a call to action to participate in the Public Consultation on National Security although the consultation closed on December 15, 2015, you can still tell the government what you think about their anti-terror laws. The blog serves as a resource tool to better understand Bill C-51/Anti Terror Act 2015 , and a place to archive our podcasts of Unpacking Anti-Terrorism a series of discussions with leading experts sharing their analysis on C-51/ATA 2015, these discussions started in 2014 are continuing and are uploaded regularly – we hope they help Canadians better inform themselves about the a/effects of anti terror legislation on targeted communities.
This site collates some of the key statements from leading civil liberties associations and advocacy organizations from across the country highlighting several key issues and concerns about this legislation and calling on the government for an unconditional repeal of the Anti Terror Act 2015.
Beyond the Public Consultation on National Security ending on December 15, 2015, this blog will serve as a resource tool disseminating information and mobilizing support for Bill 303 which seeks to repeal all aspects of Bill C-51.
Alnoor Gova and Anushka Nagji have curated this blog and produced the audio series Unpacking AntiTerrorism. We are humbled by the work our guests do in their respective fields and thankful of the time they continue to spend sharing their expertise, experiences, perspectives and analysis with us. A big thank you to the organizations and associations at the forefronts working to educate on the inherent and present dangers of Anti-Terrorism Legislation has for all Canadians – some we have highlighted in this blog, and others that support and endorse this initiative at engaging communities overtly targeted by these laws.
We are continuing this dialogue, uploading new discussions – and mobilizing communities to fight for our safety.
Stay Tuned. Stay Safe. Stay Vigilant.

Hub and terminal: Developing a method for textual analysis on the World Wide Web
Although the World Wide Web offers a wealth of texts for analysis, the design of the Web opens questions about where potential research objects begin and end. This paper focuses on how the links underlying the Web can both facilitate and deny connections to other sites, which, when viewing the texts based on their interconnectedness, gives scholars a means by which to constitute a text to analyze while preserving the dynamism of the links within a Web site. Two terms are developed to address the dynamics of different sites, with "hub" and "terminal" design becoming metaphors for the ways in which three online sites engage in the process of (dis)connecting themselves to the Web at large. Using the metaphor of hub and terminal design for analysis of Web texts offers scholars a means by which to stabilize a Web site and offer a platform for textual analysis.

Managers of public companies are under constant pressure to meet quarterly guidance and maximize profits, often at the expense of future profitability. Those pressures—driven by activist hedge funds, executive compensation design, quarterly capitalism, and changes in capital markets—are likely to increase in the next 10 to 15 years.
Business leaders should review their companies' governance structures to see whether they should make modifications that could better serve long-term prospects. This report recommends actions they may want to consider, including governance changes that public companies (with investor support) and investors can make and tax changes the government can make.
