ASSOCIATE WRYE BALDERDASHGreetings,
Tattle and Wrye leap into the historical, romantic mystery, Joyce Proell's A WICKED TRUTH.
"Oh no, we have to help her!" Tattle wails as they find themselves locked in a crude cell-like room with a drugged young girl.
Wrye gently turns Tattle away and snaps them out of the prologue just as the door opens, revealing the jowly face of an older man dressed in gentleman's attire. "Monster!" Wrye mutters.
"What's going to happen to her?"
"It isn't good," Wrye whisked his friend away to the first chapter. "Best not to dwell, m'literary empathetic. This book is a wonderful historical, mystery treat with a good dose of sweet romance and lots of Doing the Bear but dark evil exists as well."
Tattle romped through the chapters, big eyed and totally engrossed. "Yes, yes, yes. A story to be enjoyed, especially on a dark and stormy night," she parrots a teasing groaner cliché'. The next moment, Tattle is all brightness, "Oooh, so this is a Cady Delafield Mystery and we're in the Victoria Era. Hence the reference to Doing the Bear, Victorian slang for hugging." She took in the prim and proper settings of a lovely boarding home.
"Couldn't help meself. They had such grand sayings."
Does her infamous eye-roll to the heavens and stars. "Just explain on the way, m'dizzy age bud."
"Calling me old just cause my elder years makes you dizzy to think on them?" He huffed, thinking hey I was supposed to pull out the yesteryear sayings.
"Oh don't get as Mad as Hops (excitable), just teasing. Now, back to the book."
Calming himself, he offered, "Yes, but of course, the boarding house is where Mrs. Demsey hosts four female boarders, including Cady. Though she adores her family, Cady needs a respite from Grandmother Ophelia's somewhat over-bearing demeanor. They, her three sisters, including twins and mother, had lived with her grandmother since Cady's father's death. Unfortunately, the matriarch doesn't care for Cady's fiancé' Doyle Flanagan."
Feigning a semi-swoon, Tattle sighed. "He is hot as roasting chestnuts and as romantic as Robert Browning wooing Elizabeth Barrett. However, Ophelia can't see beyond his past. He had previously been accused of murdering his wife, and though acquitted, Ophelia feels trouble follows him about. Cady, though, knows he is the essence of decency and loves him beyond reason. They are truly ready to marry, and believe nothing can stop that until Sophie Newberg, a friend of Doyle's deceased wife appears, begging for his assistance, which insures risk. Her sister, Sarah, is missing. A seventeen year old never returned home from school. Most thought she eloped with her new bow, Mr. Driscoll, but Sophie believes something horrible has happened, and her father refuses to pull the police into the matter. More concerned for how things appear than the truth."
"Doyle is reluctant to be brought into police business so close to having been exonerated and is quite determined to never put his fiancé in danger again, a tragedy in his own past connects him to Sophie's pain. He knows he has to help. Of course, the genteel Cady, the Jammiest Bit of Jam, (perfect young female) backs Doyle's in every way, besides, she is as tough and stubborn as her Grandmother Ophelia, and even accompanies Doyle to the morgue." Wrye looked pleased he remembered another old saying.
"Nor does Cady object to his friendship with Inspector Jack Dinsmore, the one officer who believed in Doyle's innocence. In fact, Doyle and Cady invite him to dinner and include her sister Grace. The instant attraction is obvious, but Jake is soon involved in the murder of an unidentified young girl as well as that of his boss, Captain Vernon Lester. Both on the same night, both intensely mysteriously. Are they connected? Later, in the story, an eleven year old is abducted and soon afterward, someone in Cady's family. Yeooowl!" Tattle sang softly. "...Ya got trouble, my friend, right here, I say trouble right here..."
With a Wince at her not-so-on-key voice, Wrye added, "Meanwhile, a sinister business man Hollis Grover along with his cruel, but slimy suave brother have their own personal battles, but are they the red-herrings, or truly the evil behind white slavery and prostitution? Intermingled with it all is a self-serving police captain, a tawdry voice couch, an insensitive father, a thieving roommate, and Doyle's own mysterious past. Though the devoted couple, Cady and Doyle, are determined to overcome the turmoil surrounding them, fate just might have other plans."
Contagious excitement accompanied Tattle's words, "This is a genre mixture of pure delight! The pages turn on their own, and the characters' voices are rich, clear and identifiable. I feel as if Cady and Doyle were friends and I wanted to step right into their world. Well, maybe not the parts when they were in danger!" Offers a little chicken squeal for emphasis. "The back story was also easy to follow despite not having read the previous novels in the series, and the tale itself hankered back to a time when a plotline, well-structured prose, literary layering and a charming love story still existed in a romance novel. Though sweet, it still had plenty of heat, yet bed-room bliss wasn't the sole reason for the plot. This made the entire read enchanting and refreshing. Kudos! I really enjoyed having a storyline with a side of oooh-la-la."
"At the same time, the novelist brought out the underbelly of the Victoria world's veil of propriety and purity. The contrast between good and evil was as stark and sharp as black and white. There was no holding back on just how harrowing and bleak living without station and wealth could be, how the lower class could be taken advantage of, and how evil finds its way into every nook of life. Because of this distinction, the book had just the right level of a chill, taking it a notch above a cozy mystery," Wrye commented.
"All in all, this is an exceptional story from a prolific and talented author, who created her own genre, and we are consummately hooked! If you want a read that hits crosses every T and dots every I, you have to grab and gobble up Joyce Proell's A WICKED TRUTH."

This article examines the history and effect of the Consensus Development Program (CDP) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Introduced at a time when the relationship between the U.S. public and the medical profession was at a nadir, the CDP frequently placed the NIH in the middle of broader debates in medical practice and health policy during the last quarter of the 20th century. Drawing on published and archival sources, this paper sheds light on the challenges associated with collecting, assessing, and communicating evidence to medical professionals and convincing them to act on it in the name of improved health care. Administrators at the NIH sought a middle ground between changing medical practice and respecting professional autonomy, with varying degrees of success. This debate has continued implications today as tensions persist between scientific guidelines and the clinical medicine practiced by physicians and expected by patients.

Elementary school children from local schools including Chadwick International School and CBIS took part in the event, which included basic skills training and hockey games.
It was held to promote ball hockey and ice hockey among children in Korea and also to raise money for the Oak Tree Project, a nonprofit organization supporting higher education for orphans here.
|Children take part in a ball hockey relay activity at the Hockey Day event at Jamsil Sports Complex on Saturday. (Paul Kerry/The Korea Herald)
Sarah Murray, coach of the Korean national women's ice hockey team, attended with nine national team players to help out with the coaching.
"The kids look like they are having a good time. For a lot of them it looks like the first time they have held a stick," she said.
"Events like this are good because I think that a lot of people don't know about hockey here and even if it's ball hockey, its gets the sport out there."
She added that she was keen to do more outreach in schools with her team.
Canadian Ambassador Eric Walsh spoke at the opening of the event about the enthusiasm for hockey that Canadians including himself have, mentioning that he was looking forward to the Winter Olympics in Korea in 2018.
"The coaches of the (Korean) men's and women's national teams are both Canadians and we are so grateful to have (Murray) here today and bringing some of your players to help extend some of the passion that exists around the world for hockey and also inspire some of these young kids to make it their sport of preference," he said.
"Who knows maybe some of you kids will be joining these girls in playing for your country, whether that's Korea or whether that's Canada or another country."
Walsh added that he hoped that the event would not only raise awareness about hockey in Korea but also help the Oak Tree Project.
CBHK made a donation of 1.08 million won ($930) to the Oak Tree Project later on in the event.
"The CBHK is also proud to support the Oak Tree Project," said Colin Gennoe. "It's a nonprofit organization that supports Korean orphans who are struggling to complete a college degree through (financial) sponsorship."
CBHK is now in its 10th year and has grown to become one of the largest expat-run sports leagues in the country, with 10 teams and 130 players from Korea and abroad.
"CBHK is more than just a ball hockey league, it's a community and as I mentioned, it's a home base for a lot of foreigners in Korea and Koreans alike," said Gennoe. "Through Hockey Day and other future hockey events in the greater community we hope to build relationships while also helping promote the enjoyment of the sport."

into roped-off spaces of ancient digs
following a man with a machine gun into the shadows.
He said he knew then that he loved me;
why else would he have followed a wild-child of a beautiful mess
like me into the dark unknown of catacombs
half way around the world from
where he first read about them in books
dreamed of a brown-eyed girl.
But what did he know of love.
I followed him a few months later
a sparkling diamond on my ring finger
back to his old stomping grounds
promised I did and I do and I would.
But what did I know of vows.
I birthed him two babies
and we built a life and planted a garden
of trust and tears and laughter
in our backyard and living room,
found out what sickness and worse
and pockets of poorer meant.
Looked at each other, hands on hips,
from across the room some nights
before finally giving in,
melting into each other's arms
wondering aloud
what we knew of love.
I've stained his shirt with soft gray smudges of eyeliner
and hot tears more days than not now
in these four weeks and counting
since the baby in my womb traded
breathing amniotic fluid for angel air
And we've folded up into conversation
of babies gone
and sleeping soundly in the next room
of heavenly lights
and earthly darkness
of questions pleaded into the night
and answers given by morning sun
of a rugged tree where He was nailed
and an empty tomb where He was risen
Realizing exactly what we now know of love
and still also have yet to grasp.
|Join us every Monday for every-day poetry during the month of April!

What are the options for someone about to leave high school or who has recently left?
There are many options for someone on the autism spectrum once they leave school. In terms of further education and training, some young people on the autism spectrum go to university and complete tertiary degrees with some support. Others may pursue a traineeship or apprenticeship or additional vocational studies. In terms of employment, some autistic people work in open employment while others will need support through programs such as Transition to Work or Disability Employment Services to obtain suitable employment. Some young people on the spectrum may not be able to work in open employment settings and are more suited to supported employment options. The difficulty for many parents and young people is knowing which option is the most realistic and suitable pathway. Finding information about the various services and supports available can also be challenging.
A comprehensive assessment around the time of this transition can provide important information that will be helpful in making decisions. Aspect's Diagnostic Assessment Service conducts review assessments that include a current measure of autism characteristics, learning ability and everyday living skills. This allows for a tailored profile of the young person's strengths and weaknesses to be developed, including areas that will benefit from continued intervention into adulthood to help them achieve their potential. We are also able to provide information regarding the various supports and services available in the young person's local areas.
Through Aspect Capable, Aspect offers mentoring, training and consultancy.
Launchpad is a free online resource Aspect created to support teenagers and young people, aged 16 and over. It covers the major topics they need to know about as they transition from school to adult life including study, work, health, social life, learning to drive, independent living and self-advocacy.
Post-School Programs - alternatives to employment
Aspect Post School Programs provide individualised, centre and community-based learning and recreational activities for individuals seeking alternatives to employment across areas within NSW, Victoria and South Australia. We are committed to providing person-centred services and supporting individuals and their families to achieve meaningful outcomes and an inclusive community.
Our knowledge and expertise in supporting people on the spectrum allows us to provide individualised services that enable greater independence and enhanced quality of life. We are committed to developing flexible services that meet individual needs and affirm the valued status of all autistic people.

I've seen a slew of college basketball practices this preseason but none were as vicious as USC's. Watching the Trojans' rebounding drills was like having a first row seat to the Roman Coliseum when Russell Crowe was in Gladiator. Kevin O'Neill has always had exceptionally tough teams wherever he's coached throughout his career but you get the feeling this group has an extra edge since they only won six games during all of last season. USC has a real chance to make one of the biggest jumps in college basketball in terms of overall wins from one year to the next.
I can say without hesitation that Jio Fontan, J.T. Terrell, and Dewayne Dedmon will all likely start for USC — but beyond that is a mystery. The Trojans are beyond loaded at small and power forward and are still waiting to hear from the NCAA about the status of Rice transfer Omar Oraby, who could receive a waiver to play this season. In addition to the 7-2 Oraby, O'Neill has a bevy of options to choose from. Wake Forest transfer Ari Stewart is probably this team's best athlete at 6-7 while Renaldo Woolridge has big game experience from his time at Tennessee. Aaron Fuller finally looks healthy after suffering a shoulder injury last season and should be in the mix for major minutes at both power forward and center. Skilled wing Byron Wesley and UC Irvine transfer Eric Wise are two other potential options for the Trojans next to Fontan and Terrell on the perimeter.
All teams need a glue guy and Wise could fit that bill for USC. Roughly 50 pounds lighter than he was when he played at UC Irvine, the 6-6 forward is exceptionally chiseled and boasts a strong basketball IQ. A terrific passer in the open floor and talented enough to lead the break, Wise has already played in 83 college games and averaged 16.1 points and 8.3 rebounds per game two years ago in the Big West.
O'Neill said he expects to hear this week from the NCAA on Oraby's status and if the 7-2 big man is cleared to play this season than things could really change for the Trojans. With Oraby and Dedmon, USC would have two legitimate 7-footers and O'Neill said the plan is to play both of them together in the starting lineup. Oraby averaged six points and 3.6 rebounds in 11.6 minutes per game last season at Rice.
It may take some time for this team to truly define their roles. There's no questioning the overall talent O'Neill has assembled on this roster but other than Fontan, Terrell, and Dedmon there doesn't seem to be any guarantees for set minutes. A vicious non-conference schedule should allow O'Neill and his staff to tinker with different lineups and find out what works best for the PAC-12. The Trojans are in the Maui Invitational and host Long Beach State, Minnesota, Dayton, and San Diego State. USC will also play road games at Nebraska, Georgia, and New Mexico.
The intrigue factor is definitely there with USC. Fontan and Terrell are two big time talents in the back court and the depth O'Neill has up front is staggering. The Trojans have the pieces to finish in the top half of the PAC-12 and push for a place in top third but they're going to have to find their chemistry somewhere between Thanksgiving and Christmas. This team is talented but they've never played a full season together, something that could be obvious early. Still, the elements are in place for a strong season and a trip to the NCAA Tournament certainly isn't out of the question.
Who will round out USC's starting five? Be heard in the comments below…

Hi everyone! I get a lot of queries regarding eye shadow palettes, especially those just starting out with makeup. I thought I'd share a quick recommendation with you. I picked up this palette from one of the Nykaa sales last year and have got so much use out of it! If you're someone who would like to experiment a bit with eye makeup, the Freedom Pro Artist Pad – Black Arts is fantastic!
- The palette is priced at Rs 2800 but during sales, you can get it for around Rs 2300 or so. Keep an eye out for the sale later this month if you're interested in getting this palette!
- It contains 28 eye shadows, mostly neutrals but the color variety is really good.
- From light, matte nudes and shimmery pinks/peaches/golds to deeper bronze/brown/copper shades, the palette offers excellent color variation to suit the Indian complexion. There are a few cool colors too.
- In terms of quality, except 1-2 shades, the eye shadows have a smooth texture, excellent color pay off, very good blendability and decent wear time (6+ hours).
- While shimmers dominate the palette, it has enough matte shades, especially warm browns, to balance out the pearly colors. I think warm brown mattes are essential to add depth in the crease and for effortless smokey eyes. The browns in this palette are great!
I've swatched a few of the colors below, so you can get an idea about the color pay off.
The warm neutrals in this palette are particularly fantastic and for the 1-2 shades that are not-so-pigmented, like the blue shade swatched above, you can always use a primer/base/smudged black pencil to make the color pop. Overall, this is a very good palette, at a very good price (considering the variety and quality) and I wish I had discovered it sooner! Highly recommended! Available online at Nykaa.com. Rating : 4.5/5

The Founder and Executive Director of ACCORD, Vasu Gounden, has been invited by the Folke Bernadotte Academy, based in Sando, Sweden, to be a resource person on their inaugural training course entitled 'Facilitation of Dialogue Processes and Mediation Efforts', which runs from the 19-25 March in Sando.
The course is intended for actors engaged in the transformation of conflicts in the international arena, and the purpose is to contribute to the development of capacities to transform conflict by peaceful means. The course brings together 23 senior level participants from: the Armenian, Jordanian, Nigerian and Swedish Foreign Ministries; IDEA International; UNDPA (Africa I and Africa II, America's and Europe Division and Asia and Pacific Division); OAS; International Alert; Maarif Institute for Culture and Humanity, Indonesia; UNDP Somalia; Company of Apostils of Peace, Burundi; Human Security Initiative Organisation, Sudan; the International Centre on Innovation, Transformation and Excellence in Governance, Philippines; Swisspeace; and, the EU Council Secretariat. Mr Gounden's presentation, which took place on 19 March, focused on 'Dialogue, Mediation and Leadership in the African context'.
Mr Gounden is an experienced international conflict resolution and leadership trainer, having been an active trainer in the field since 1990. He has conducted trainings for, among others, the South African Department of Foreign Affairs; the Organization of African Unity (OAU); the United Nations (UN), and the SADC Parliamentary Forum, and was a consultant to the Commonwealth Gender and Youth Division where he has trained parliamentarians, women and youth groups from Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.
From Sweden, Mr Gounden travesl to Norway on the 20th, where he will be joined by Kwezi Mngqibisa, ACCORD's Peace and Security Programme Manager. Mr Gounden and Mr Mngqibisa will be in Norway from at the invitation of the South African Ambassador to Norway, H.E. Ambassador Coovadia. Their programme in Oslo and Bergen includes a variety of public presentations on topics such as 'Conflict Resolution in Africa: Lessons Learnt and Challenges' (Gounden); 'South Africa's Challenges and Successes vis-à-vis Political Development in Africa' (Mngqibisa); 'Africa: Destination for Conflict Resolution or Investment?' (Gounden); and 'The African Union and Conflict Management: Lessons Learnt' (Mngqibisa), as well as meetings with civil society, staff and students from the University of Bergen and staff from the Chr Michelesen Institute. On the 23rd Mr Gounden and Mr Mngqibisa, accompanied by Ambassador Coovadia (who is also the South African Ambassador to Iceland) will travel to Reykjavik, Iceland, where they will meet with President Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, the President of Iceland. Other meetings will also be held with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other government and business officials; and the staff and students of the University of Iceland.

First of all, I would like to thank you for cycling into the blog pages of the Korean-World, an adventure hangout that has brewed since 2007 inside the South Korean peninsula. Inside these links, you will begin to explore some of the routes I have followed in South Korea that have led me to faraway destinations like East Turkestan (Silk Road), the Himalayas of western China, Outer Mongolia and North American roads from the Great Lakes of Michigan to the Rocky Mountains of Banff, Alberta, Canada.
This website is not intended to be South Korea-specific for bicycle touring related information. However, I will point you in the right direction to find other informative websites with maps, stories, and photographs of the amazing network of bicycle routes inside the Korean peninsula. I have lived and cycled in South Korea since 2007, now taking on bicycles as a perfect lifestyle to find inspiration, guts, mud and adventures out there.
There are hundreds of posts in general adventure categories. I hope you enjoy the website. - NAMASTE

Sophie is finally here!
Over the weekend, we collected the adorable giraffe teether for Kenan. I've ordered it through a forum spree and had been eagerly awaiting its arrival. I bought Kenan the teether not so much that he is teething now but more as a toy in the hope that he will stop putting his hands into his mouth!
About Sophie
Born in 1961, Sophie the giraffe is a teether "handmade in the French Alps using natural rubber from the Hevea Tree and decorated using non-toxic food quality paint". More importantly, Sophie is BPA, PVC and Phathalates-free so mommies can be assured about baby's health when chewing on this teether.
Sophie is lightweight and its shape and size is designed to fit snugly in babies' small hands. It delights babies with a small squeak when squeezed.
Kenan and Sophie
Kenan took a little while to warm up to his new 'friend'. Initially, he didn't know how to put it into his mouth and was frustrated. He also needed time to explore the most 'chewable' parts. For a moment, I was worried that Kenan will not like Sophie, as after all, this is no cheap teether (retailing at SGD39.00). But when he got the hang of it, he just gnawed away!

Why tour here?
Sarah Wakely said:
"The premise was simple: I was going to take a motorhome along the route of the Venice-Simplon Orient Express, from London's Victoria Station to Venice. During the trip I'd stick as closely as possible to the most traditional route the train takes, so I'd be visiting Paris, Innsbrück and Verona before finally rolling into Venice.
"This fantastic view is from the road between Trento and Bolzano, on the border between Austria and Italy, on the approach to Venice."

When performing hardware inventory, if a property of a data class contains a string value greater than 254 characters, the inventory information for that property will not be processed or stored in the site database. For example, if you attempt to inventory the Win32_NTEventLogFile data class and one of the event log string entries is longer than 254 characters, the inventoried data for that property will be rejected by the management point when the client inventory report is processed.
When this situation occurs, you may see entries in the MP_Hinv.log log file similar to the following message when the client inventory report is processed:
Hinv: warning skipping instance of array property as exceeds max length. Class: "<data class name>" Property: "<data class property>"

The 365/360 Method of Calculating Interest: Lenders and Borrowers Square Off
Recently, financial institutions in Illinois have encountered a new defense to mortgage foreclosure suits and a new wave of class action lawsuits, all arising out of the 365/360 method of calculating interest. With the exception of a few cases in downstate Illinois, courts facing these new claims and defenses have ruled in favor of the financial institutions. That being said, it is likely that the showdown will continue in the appellate courts and, ultimately, the Illinois legislature.
Understanding the Issue
Promissory notes frequently contain language providing that interest will be computed by multiplying the stated interest rate by 365 and dividing that number by 360. As a result, the interest rate that actually accrues in a calendar year is slightly higher than what is stated in the promissory note. The reasoning behind this method goes to the bank's attempts to standardize interest rates on a 30-day month, while taking into account the 365-day calendar year. The 365/360 method has been recognized for quite some time by the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation, as well as courts throughout Illinois, as an appropriate means of calculating interest.
In raising defenses to mortgage foreclosure cases and in plaintiff's class action cases, however, borrowers are claiming that the 365/360 method violates the Illinois Interest Act because certain promissory notes refer to interest being calculated either "per annum" or "annually." In some cases, these parties are maintaining that the method also violates the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act and provides evidence of fraud. Furthermore, borrowers are contending that the Illinois Interest Act requires lenders to use a calendar year to compute interest whenever the word "year" (or a comparable term) is used in a loan document. With respect to damages, some borrowers have also argued that the Illinois Interest Act allows them to recover twice the amount of the unauthorized interest that was charged.
Mixed Results in the Courts
So far, this legal strategy has met with mixed results. While some courts in downstate Illinois have sided with the borrowers, most judges in Cook County have rejected the argument and ruled in favor of the lenders, reasoning that the Illinois Interest Act does not apply when a promissory note clearly states a specific basis for interest computation (e.g., the 365/360 method).
Given the increase in the number of cases addressing these new claims and defenses, the Illinois legislature is poised to pass legislation that validates the legality of the 365/360 method. While the final resolution remains uncertain, it is clear that these latest court battles are the byproduct of an economic environment that has left lenders scrambling to protect and collect on their loans, while borrowers attempt to preserve their options until the economy recovers.

A Beachside Lake Michigan Wedding Photography – Tammy and Chris
Being a Michigan native, when Tammy inquired with us that she was having her wedding on Lake Michigan and getting ready at her parent's blueberry farm, I immediately gushed for joy.
Tammy and Chris live in Chicago, so we opted for the city (Chris' motorcycle and all) for the engagement session, and basked in the beautiful nature surrounding us for their wedding photography in Michigan. Seriously. It was a gorgeously sunny day for Michigan wedding photography. From jars of blueberry jam to colorful lake-shore sunsets and beach-side fire pits, it couldn't have been anymore perfect of a wedding day for Tammy and Chris.
Ah, I love me an organza BHLDN wedding dress. And it fit her like a glove. Tammy's mom is so incredibly sweet. Seriously, if you're ever in Bangor, MI- stop by and pick up some blueberries. The upcycled barnwood signs were another big hit. A big thanks to Sweet Cherry Resort for letting us run around their stomping grounds for photos. Bonfire afterparty- accompanied by smores, beer and lots of blankets.
To see more of our work check out our portfolio.
SOO gorgeous!!
Congrats you two!
Love the last shot!

A new Interdisciplinary Research & Commercialization Building for FSU
The Interdisciplinary Research & Commercialization Building (IRCB) at Florida State University will be a new "gateway building" within Innovation Park, and establish a new paradigm for developing the Southwest Campus.
Wilson Architects is busy working with the University on this innovative project. By collaborating with FSU during the initial study phase, we developed a shared vision for the IRCB's comprehensive interdisciplinary program. This program will enable strategic research thrusts and guide FSU on their "Path to the Top 25."
The IRCB will provide 128,000 GSF of new space to house interdisciplinary teams by creating a collaborative environment to conduct research, and to develop commercialization opportunities to bring products to market. The state-of-the-art spaces will include research labs, imaging/characterization labs, cleanroom facilities, and collaboration areas to support researchers in the disciplines of bio-medical engineering, chemistry, chemical engineering and device prototyping. The IRCB will merge traditional academic and professional fields in an environment that promotes dialogue and exchange with peers.

The next generation of cancer therapies
Vyriad is developing novel oncolytic virus therapies for the treatment of cancers with significant unmet clinical need. We are engineering potent Vesicular Stomatitis virus and Measles virus oncolytic platforms to selectively destroy cancer cells.
Dual Mechanism of Tumor Destruction
Preclinical studies indicate that Vyriad's engineered viruses provide a potent cancer treatment with the ability to amplify itself and selectively destroy cancer cells in a dual mechanism process.1,2
Oncolytic Phase: Virus infects, replicates selectively within and rapidly destroys cancer cells.
Immune Phase: Rapid oncolytic destruction stimulates the immune system which slowly destroys remaining uninfected tumor cells for long term tumor control.
We envisage oncolytic viruses will be a new cornerstone of cancer treatment.
How the Virus Infects and Destroys the Tumor
Radial expansion/conflation of intratumoral infectious centers (oncolytic phase) followed by immune cell infiltration and killing (immune phase).

Safari Guide's Tales: The Early Days [audio]
tourism/lecturing enquiries for Gavin Fordsee all media by Gavin Ford in Multimedia Library
[ZZZ_Photo02-240]Gavin Ford is a highly respected safari guide who has worked in almost every country south of the Sahara.
|Gavin Ford is a highly respected safari guide who has worked in almost every country south of the Sahara. He shared the 2002 Conde Naste "Best Guide" award.
When you meet him it is easy to see why he is so successful. A lifetime of guiding has given him a wealth of knowledge and wonderful stories, but unlike some 'top guides' Gavin still sparkles with a boyish enthusiasm for nature; his passion for 'the bush' is as strong today as it was when he grew up exploring the valleys of Rhodesia.
The first phase of Gavin's career saw him establish canoe safaris downstream of Victoria Falls, through the wild and remote sections of the Lower Zambezi around Mana Pools. Encounters with hippos and elephants were frequent.
For eight years Gavin worked in the Okavango Delta of northern Botswana. He led canoe safaris, mobile tented trips and trained many guides (many of whom are now top guides). He also became known for his award winning photographs.
His reputation well established, he was asked to lead private safaris, and he now runs his own company, Africa Inscribed, based in Johannesburg, and guides throughout sub-saharan Africa. With a great sense of humour, endless enthusiasm, and an encyclopaedicknowledge of birds, flora and fauna it is easy to see why Gavin is such a popular guide, both with his clients and his colleagues.

Review Details
AlcoSense Excel Fuel Cell Breathalyzer
- Product Review (submitted on 2 December 2016):
- Accuracy, that's the big question.I've been looking for a Breathalyser for a while as I have been worried by the "Morning after" risk. I don't drive the day after if I have been out on a night where I have a lot to drink but hearing people quoted as saying "I felt fine but I was over the limit" was a concern, I wouldn't drive unless I felt fine but what is my actual Blood alcohol level? Looking at items on market, very few quote accuracy, this brand does and also offers a re-calibration service! So then it was cost. Having personal experience of Fuel Cells they are a recognised method of measurement, so this offered the best value for money for me. The item is quite chunky and solid and offers a PC connection for results.In this time of "You get what you pay for" this offered me the best balance of Cost vs Do you believe what it is telling you? This made sense.

it's so politically correct it even has the gay couple, in case someone complained. Shame noone will complain about the shittiness of the idea.
If not an entirely successful campaign, it is a bold and provocative one.
Sure is bold, but I do not like it that much.
And on top of that the concept is not new...
First thought.
Bold but old.

Conventional and advanced modulation formats that simultaneously modulate two or more of the optical attributes of phase, amplitude, and polarization and/or utilize observation intervals longer than two chips (time slots) are designed by using a unified interpretation as signaling by means of generalized Stokes parameters. In particular, the new paradigm is applied to the recently introduced multichip extension of optical differential phase shift keying.

Troxell-CDI is the largest reseller of Help Alert Emergency Response solution, a real-time locating system that provides students, their parents, and your staff with the peace of mind that, if needed, help is on the way with the touch of a button.
Empower teachers and staff to instantly and discreetly call for help!
Today, some 93 percent of public schools control access to school buildings by locking or monitoring doors during school hours and another 75 percent use security cameras to monitor the school. *But this is only the first line of defense.
School safety must transcend access controls and video surveillance, and put it right where it's most needed: in the hands of teachers and staff who are closest to the learning environment and the kids you're trying to protect.
Troxell-CDI puts school safety first with the Help Alert Emergency Response Solution. Help Alert gives teachers and staff the ability to instantly and silently alert authorities to trouble before it spins out of control...that crucial first 30 seconds.
*Source: "Indicators of School Crime and Safety: 2015 (NCES 2016-079), Indicator 20," U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, 2016.
The Help Alert mobile Panic Button and wireless Mass Notification Solution instantly alerts the appropriate resources for faster, more agile responses to teachers and staff in need.
Today's schools remain relatively safe. Yet risks do arise—disruptive behaviors, bullying and other violence, playground injuries, and more—that call for a time-critical response.
With a single click the mobile panic button alerts security to teachers and staff in need while wireless mass notification allows those under extreme duress to notify not only security but everyone in the building that a major situation is underway AND triggers all pendands to report their location.
Help right where you need it... within reach!
Help Alert pendants can be pinned to garments, clipped on belts, or placed into pockets, allowing teachers and staff to instantly and discreetly call for help just by pressing a button. Silent alarms keep potentially threatening situations from escalating, and teachers and staff can easily escalate the type of help needed—from administrators and school resource officers to emergency responders—as the situation warrants.
Location-aware tracking for faster response!
Once a teacher or staff member activates the Help Alert pendant, their location is quickly pinpointed via your WiFi or WLAN infrastructure and communicated to the Help Alert app. As the teacher or staff member moves from place to place, Help Alert tracks their movements to ensure that security officers and first responders know exactly where to go.
Complete integration... and situational awareness!
Help Alert easily integrates into your existing WiFi or WLAN environment and requires no additional cabling, wiring, or new builds. Plus, it integrates with your video security system for more complete situational awareness. A simple setup and deployment and support for multiple desktop and mobile devices ensures that staff and teachers can immediately get the help they need in urgent situations.
Use Help Alert for immediate assistance with:
|Playground and school accidents
|Verbal or behavioral disruptions
|Bullying, fighting, and other violent situations
|Seizures and other medical issues
|Unauthorized persons on school property
Multi-mode alarms – Discreetly allows users to escalate the response required—from school resource officers to local first responders—as the situation warrants.

Augmented Reality is one of the most exciting technological developments of recent times. By allowing the physical world to merge with the virtual world, a so called Mixed Reality is created.
The applications for this are literally endless. Imagine that by looking at an object, you get all kinds of information about this very object in your sight. You can view this data at the same time as your co-worker, thus enabling you to share this data through your organisation, or even with clients.
The big difference with the technology of Virtual Reality, is that you will remain in the real world and not in a virtual one. This can be at your office, a factory, an offshore location or even a highway.
By constantly scanning your environment and surroundings, the hardware exactly knows where you are and how are moving. You can place 3D models on a table, against a wall or just let them float in space.
Questions? Feel free to contact us.
How to use Augmented Reality
3D layers
By adding 3D layers to a physical object, you will get insight that you would normally not get. With this extra dimension, conversation and showcasing is much easier. We use photorealistic overlays and renders, for maximum captivating images.
AR can facilitate and accelerate the building processes at the factory. Project managers can monitor work progress in real-time through AR markers on equipment. Besides, it can save a ton of time by using digital maps and plans. Pointing a device into location shows how a piece the system will fit the final construction.
Get 3D data visualised in real-time over a system, gaining extra information such as: how to repair certain features, predictive maintenance, documentation; all with your hands free with an AR head mount.
AR brings truly unlimited possibilities for teaching and learning processes. Additional reality provides the unique cognition path with immersive real-life simulations.
The benefits of Augmented Reality
Interact with virtual 3D models in the real world, configure them, design them or just review them. By staying in your natural environment, Augmented Reality is the perfect solution for conversation.
Immersive applications that will stick with your audience. Ideal for sales pitches, investment meetings, trade shows or just to show your stakeholders how innovative you are.
Level up
Well, it's like real life, but better. Augmented Reality increases engagement, interaction and provides a richer user experience. Research has shown that AR increases the perceived value of products and brands.
AR is mobile, personal and therefore hugely accessible to a rapidly growing smartphone market. AR is an inexpensive alternative to other media platforms as no specific medium needs to be purchased.
How does it work?
It's simple. Unit040 will guide you all the way. Simply tell us what your goal is. We use your 3D models, optimize them and create the exact right tone of voice. Your system will be presented in the setting it will operate and we help you choose the right music and voice over. Unit040 unrolls all projects in a iterative manner, to ensure you will get the exact solution you wished for. We see this as a collaboration, that's why most of our clients stay with us for years.Learn more
Gaming technology
Although our solution is mainly used by high tech companies, aerospace and businesses working for infrastructure, we use a Gaming Engine for our development. Why? Unity3D is a powerfull engine, where all physical laws are applied and simply because the gaming industry is miles ahead of industrial engines. With extremely high-end renders, simple to use controls and a large database of assets, Unity3D is the perfect solution for all your demands.Learn more
The hardware we use
Microsoft HoloLens
Microsoft HoloLens is the first self-contained, holographic computer, enabling you to engage with your digital content and interact with holograms in the world around you.
Apple/Samsung Tablets
By using smartphones or tablets, Augumented Reality is very much approachable. We create applications that use the camera of the device and display 3D data in the real world.
Magic Leap
This technology lets in natural light waves together with softly layered synthetic lightfields. Both the real world and virtual light rays initiate neural signals that pass from the retina to the visual part of the brain.
The difference between VR, AR and MR
There's a big difference between new, but seeminly similar technologies like Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality. But what are they?
Virtual Reality
VR fully immerses users in a virtual word, cutting them off from the real world.
Virtual Reality
Whether that location is computer-generated or captured by video, it entirely occludes the user's natural surroundings.
Augmented Reality
In Augmented Reality, like Google Glass or through an iPad, the visable natural world is overlaid with a layer of digital content.
Augmented Reality
The user can see and interact with both the real world and the virtual world, at the same time.
Mixed Reality
In technologies like Magic Leap and Hololens, virtual objects are integrated into the natural world.
Mixed Reality
It's also responsive to the real world. A virtual ball under your desk for example, would be blocked from view unless you bend down to look at it.

Blushing Beauty: 10 Products to Help You Fake Glowing Skin
With all of that time spent frolicking in the sun, dousing our skin with sunscreen and shimmering body oils, we think it's safe to say that the theme of summer is glowing skin. But, as the summer months are seemingly flying by, we can't help but wonder what will happen to our sun-kissed complexions once the cold weather starts to make its—very unwelcomed—way back into our lives. Luckily, there are some tricks—and some stellar products—out there that can help us keep our summer glow all year long. We're sharing a roundup of our top ten glow enhancing products that are sure to make you blush, below.
Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Cheek Flush Blush
If you love Maybelline's cult-favorite Baby Lips, you'll love the brand's Baby Skin Instant Cheek Flush Blush for its perfect, just-pinched baby cheek flush of natural pink color. The creamy gel formula works on all skin types, is non-comedogenic—meaning it won't clog your pores—and comes in a fool-proof balm that glides across your cheekbones, depositing a sheer blush that leaves your skin with a pinky peach glow.
Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Cheek Flush Blush, $6.99
Urban Decay Naked Flushed
Whether you've just spent all day sunning yourself at the beach or it's the dead of winter and your skin needs a glowing pick-me-up, Urban Decay's Naked Flushed palette has your blushing needs covered. The tricolored compact powder combines bronzer, highlighter, and blush in three of the brand's most popular—and highly coveted—shades. Use each silky tint individually or blend them together to diffuse light and enhance your best features with a radiant glow.
Urban Decay Naked Flushed, $32
Shu Uemura Fresh Cushion Blush
With the rise of Korean beauty and skin care in the Western world, cushion compacts are—without a doubt—having a moment. And now, thanks to Shu Uemura's limited edition Fresh Cushion Blush, you can receive the same glowing, dewy look with a pop of color. Inspired by Korea's national flower, hibiscus syriacus, the Cushion Blush comes in two shades—Hibiscus Pink and Hibiscus Orange—that give cheekbones that everlasting sun-kissed appeal.

Maybelline Master Strobing Stick Illuminating Highlighter, $9.99
Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato Lip and Cheek Color
Lip and cheek tints, like Shu Uemura's limited edition Tint in Gelato Lip and Cheek Color, can enhance the cheekbone with a pop of glowing color.

We examine state-level variation in the flow of benefits under the largest Social Security programme – the Old-Age (OA) programme. OA pensions remain a robust and growing component of the American social safety net. Although OA pensions are entirely administered by the federal government, state-level demographic features can imply different aggregate levels of programme expenditures across states. We describe high levels of variation in the resources flowing into states from the OA programme and we find relationships between state features that might seem only remotely related to income support for the elderly: current unemployment rates, previous income levels, poverty rates and minority populations. We find a particularly strong link between current unemployment rates, OA coverage and OA average benefits. The number of recipients and the level of average OA payments increase when unemployment increases. This is a poorly understood but important feature of the OA programme.

Outside of this bubble we live in, there is so much more going on in the world. It's easy to get caught up in your daily life and forget this- I know I am guilty of often having a one-track "me me me" mindset, and not looking or thinking outside of where I very comfortably sit. But one of my biggest goals for this next year (and now) is to make a difference, and that's where this blog comes in.
Today I'm going to be telling you all about my sweet friend Kristin and the work she is doing over in India. And in the months to come, I'll be sharing different charities, organizations, or individuals that I am personally familiar with that are doing amazing things. Sometimes it's hard for me to just send donations off- I wonder if the money is really going where they say it is, or I'm concerned about the way it's handled. I'm not sure if everyone is like that (maybe I'm just crazy), but if I can't physically help out myself, it's comforting to me to know the person who is, and to see the good they are doing with the donations.
My friend Kristin is a nurse and is currently living in India. She blogs daily about the work she does, and shares some of the most heart-wrenching, inspiring photos and stories. Here's a little bit from her:
"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others... That is a quote by M.K. Gandhi that I stumbled upon before my first trip to India back in February 2011. Fast forward to November and I can easily tell you that I have never understood what he meant more than I do right now. I am an American nurse living life in the biggest city in North East India, Guwahati. I walked away from my simple Californian life and moved to the state of Assam in May after participating in a one week mission with a NGO that repairs cleft lips and palates free of cost. I work full time (and then some) with them now as a nurse manager at a brand new cleft care center in Guwahati.
India is what we in 'developed' countries would call 'underdeveloped.' It teems with half built infrastructure, animals, temples, greenery, trash, and people. Oh, the people. Or more specifically, the children. I feel like it took me some time to really open my eyes to what surrounded me and in true Indian fashion, what I saw was this twisted, heartbreaking beauty. There are children all over the streets of Guwahati, beautiful children. They are dirtied, half-clothed and hungry. For a longer time than I like to admit, I walked past these children and though my heart ached deep inside my chest, I did nothing. After weeks of planning, talking with friends, going back and forth and feeling discouraged, I made a decision. It was a basic one: I was going to feed the kids. I went down to the slums that first week scared, shaking and alone. I had made 20 meals and in under five minutes they were filling the bellies of 20 hungry children. It was clear, I had to keep this going. Now I am almost two months into this project that I call Asha Guwahati, and it is growing by the day. The goal of what I do is simple, I want to show the children of this slum and street community true love. I feed them without expectation of anything in return. I am still just one person orchestrating these feedings out of my kitchen. I currently make 50 meals at a time, one to two times per week. It takes me around three hours to make the food, and less than ten minutes to pass it out. Every feeding I have different friends come and help, everyone that helps gives of their time freely. Once a month we hold a street kids day where we bathe, trim hair, and cloth 20-30 kids. I am not changing the world as a whole but very certainly, very slowly, the whole world of each child we care for is changing.
If you visit Kristin's blog I guarantee that you will be moved, maybe to tears like I am, every time I read about her days in India. I urge you to read back in her posts- it's heartbreaking, but also so amazing that she is able to do what she is doing. So that's where we come in. I went back and forth about whether or not I felt comfortable asking you all to donate, but when it comes down to it, I can't think of a better way to assist Kristin in her efforts.
Here's how you can help:
make a donation to Kristin's project- Asha Guwahati. To feed a child one meal costs about 25 cents (and Kristin is working on getting this cost even lower). So even if you gave a dollar, you would be providing FOUR meals. Awesome, right?
*Kristin also wanted me to let you know that she is one person developing this feeding project out of her kitchen, and every single rupee goes to the meals and the "street girls" day. She also wanted you to know that she isn't an NGO and therefore cannot offer receipts or letters verifying donations for tax refunds, etc.
Outside of donating, you can follow Kristin's blog and support her via correspondance, comments, or even just saying hello and letting her know you're there, supporting her. You can also share her blog with others, share this post via Facebook or twitter, or you could even blog about it in our own space, and encourage your own friends and family to help out.
The neatest part about being a part of Kristin's growing project is that you will get to see your donation (whether it be monetary or even sharing her story, reading her blog etc.), come to life as you follow along on her journey. It's truly an amazing thing.
Thank you guys so very much for taking the time to read this. xoxo

Where's my Brooklyn Bonus?
That's the question Brooklyn borough President Marty Markowitz wants you to ask today as part of "Shop Brooklyn," an ambitious renaming of Black Friday to get residents and tourists alike to shop local. Participating Fulton Street Mall businesses will be proudly displaying a "Shop Brooklyn" sticker, identifying which stores have the deals, as will numbers of other shops all around the borough.
This is one of those reintroducing-your-city-to-yourself things again, as Markowitz, along with the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, Brooklyn Economic Development Corporation, local Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), elected officials and others hope the benefits will carry on long past the holidays. The "Brooklyn Bonuses", as the discounts are called, will last each weekend from Nov. 23 through Dec. 21, starting today on Black Friday and continuing on towards a white Christmas.
The announcement ran across a number of local sites throughout the last couple of days. Brownstoner announced the idea and then reminded readers that The Flea is still open every Sunday in December.
Only The Blog Knows Brooklyn said Markowitz is making is announcement today "with a noontime 'Shop Brooklyn' visit to The Spa & Wellness Center/Green Spa New York in Bay Ridge."
Gowanus Lounge noted that it was previously to be called "Buy Brooklyn".
And finally, The Cool Jew has some shots of people lining up outside the Brooklyn Best Buy at 4am.
