Microbial infestation of surfaces relies on mechanisms where the microbe establishes adhesion to the surface, where this is a first step in the proliferation of the organism. Inhibition of the initial adhesion step is a potential route to minimising biofouling of surfaces.
As the existing antifouling technologies relied on the incorporation of biocidal compounds, there are ongoing concerns over the potential development of biocide resistant pathogenic organisms. The need for greener technologies has driven the researchers to develop environmentally benign coatings, such as antifouling surfaces with hydrophilic properties which can resist attack from a range of microbes through a mechanism involving a strongly bonded hydration layer acting as a natural barrier.
From our previous work a commercially available silica nano particle (SiNP) modified with the epoxy silane – glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPS) was fabricated as a coating which demonstrated significant resistance against various proteins, bacteria and fungal spores. As a benign coating, it is economically viable, scalable, and can be easily incorporated into existing or next-generation fabrication processes.
This study aims to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the antifouling performance of GPS-SiNP. 3D Frequency Modulation Atomic Force Microscopy (3D FM-AFM) was applied to resolve the 3D interfacial water structure above single nanoparticles with angstrom resolution, with the observations validated by all-atom MD simulation. Furthermore, Single Cell Force Spectroscopy was used to directly probe the interaction between living fungal spores and the surfaces.
- We experimentally probed the hydration structure on single nano silica surfaces at a sub-angstrom level, building up a 3D interfacial structure from which 1D and 2D structural information was derived. The results of MD simulations showed good agreement with the experimental work.
- The differences between unmodified SiNP and GPS-SiNP surfaces were compared. For the SiNP surface, the interfacial structure was discrete, extending to a distance of one or two layers of water molecules. However, the existence of energy minima may increase protein residence times and enable amino acid residues to perturb water layers and undergo binding to the substrate.
- In contrast, with the flexible hydrophilic GPS chains associated with the water molecules, the confluent GPS-water layer present on the GPS-SiNP surface extended a much greater distance with a significantly higher repulsive force. This layer acted as a barrier and provided a basis for developing a broad-ranging fouling resistance system, from protein adsorption to microbial adhesion of bacteria and fungal spores.
- The combination of the 3D FM-AFM measurements and the MD simulation helped to elucidate the molecular-level interfacial structures and to explain the exceptional antifouling ability of useful chemistries and coating.
- Single Cell Force Spectroscopy was used to study the interaction between the two proposed surfaces and fungal spores. It was found that, compared to the SiNP surface, the GPS-modified SiNP surface showed far less adhesion behaviour and much smaller adhesion force. This correlated well with previous results. This finding gives unprecedented insight into the mechanism by which a 'real' living fungal spore interacts and adheres to a surface, e.g. critical information for the design of high-performance antifouling coatings.
Future work
A better understanding of the relationship between hydration structure and antifouling performance, coatings with other chemistries is to be obtained using both 3D FM-AFM and Single Cell Force Spectroscopy.

Practical and Helpful Tips: Vehicles
How to Earn Cash for Junk Cars It arises every single day within North America, junk cars are towed, broken up and melted down, to simply be reincarnated at some future date in the shape of luxury cars, stainless steel for infrastructures, and a variety of other everyday items. Actually, you can be amazed to know that cars and trucks are the most reused consumer products in the country. This recycling practice is not just ecologically beneficial but also assists in keeping the price tag on unprocessed materials for vehicles cheaper than it would otherwise be. Many people probably might look at organizations that acquire junk passenger cars like they are crazy. Why would they want to fork out dollars for junk vehicles? That motor vehicle that you keep that you judge as scrap, and not see what to do with will surely have lots of true worth to many different persons and unique variations of firms everywhere, for example family car recyclers. The basic principles of car recycling start with you getting in touch with a vehicle wrecker and showing them information about your truck. You will afterward pick up an estimate of what they are going to spend on your junk automobile. Next, a proper towing vehicle would be forwarded and your truck would be transferred to a scrap lot. Recyclable parts from the inside, exterior and motor space will be drawn aside for re-sale and the remaining of the automobile will join a sizable shredder.
A Beginners Guide To Sales
The shredding process usually takes under a minute on more recent models and the metals are split up for reusing with a range of magnets whereas the other parts of the resources are usually disposed of. After division, the metals are most commonly delivered to separate units where they are treated and supplied to automotive designers, construction organizations and a number of many other manufacturers.
Getting Down To Basics with Automobiles
This straightforward task is greatly beneficial for the ecosystem and a lot more useful for customers. As soon as you hold an ancient, run down motor vehicle that is not really performing, you can receive hard cash for junk automobiles in just a few days. The sum of money automotive junkers are going to pay will vary tremendously by looking at the body weight of your vehicle. Some SUVs and much larger trucks can receive considerably higher premium. In many instances, your automobile gets towed within one day and from that point, you normally gather a check by means of mail within a single week (this can vary in accordance with the service provider you select). The most important part of the full approach is you can easily take care of your gas leaking, eyesore motor vehicle without paying a penny and doing something good for the planet!

Who am I, and what is this blog site all about?
My name is Lian, I'm a 40 something year old Business Consultant and Lean Engineer, the 'lean' bit, is I hope to be by both name and nature. I am currently something like 40 kg over weight (Christmas Eve, 2011).
I have struggled with weight for the whole of my life. I have tried every diet going, these include some of the most fantastic diets like the Cambridge diet – gained 6 lb in 3 weeks, I gave that up after 3 months. I then moved to the Rosemary Connelly Hip and Thigh Diet, I didn't gain any weight on this program, so I stuck with it for 6 months, but again eventually gave up when I didn't lose anything. This continued throughout my adult life with other bizarre diets like the cabbage soup diet, a stranger diet from the states, I can't remember what it was called but basically it was all about eating 'off meat', that way, you ended up with a very slight form of food poisoning and basically lost weight, unfortunately it wasn't permanent and as soon as you were well again, the weight came back. I also suffered from the 'Pharaoh's Curse' after a trip to Egypt which lasted for 6 weeks and I lost half a stone, god did I want to go back to Egypt to get some more that lovely Nile water haha.
However all this ridiculous dieting culminated in me paying £8,000 for a gastric band to be fitted in August 2007 Yup, you read that right; I paid £8,000 for yet another waste of time!
When I went to see the surgeon to see if he would do the deed, the consultation lasted for less than 30 minutes; this included him asking me what I ate on a daily basis, I told him that I was eating one meal a day and mainly living on coffee and that I had drastically reduced the calories I ate on a daily basis and that I was somewhere around 1000 kcal per day. Needless to say, he didn't believe me, he did say however, that although a gastric band was ONLY £8,000, he believed that gastric bypass at a mere £15,000 would be more suitable for me, this would stop the food from even being digested at all and would effectively be removed from my body undigested. Knowing what I know now, I am so pleased that I didn't have the spare change to pay for the gastric bypass, that and the fact that I didn't have the time to take 6 weeks off work for something as ridiculous as weight loss, after all, I am a very, very busy consultant. So I took a week off work and had the gastric band fitted, straight after that I was off again to Dublin and back to work – that was hard, having just had an operation on my abdomen and having to carry a suit case with a months' worth of clothes! When I started this journey with the gastric band I weighed a dramatic 132 kg
So gastric band fitted – weight loss, no, didn't happen… well, in truth, I did lose almost 2 stone, the first 1.5 stones was in the run up to having the band installed, that was the weight I had just gained through stopping smoking in the 6 months prior to having the band installed. The latter 8 lbs took me the next 4 years to lose. For those of you who don't know what happens when you have a gastric band fitted, they basically section off your stomach Sorry, can't paste a picture here… but I will have a blog concentrating on gastric or bariatric (bizarre spell checker only comes up with barbaric for this haha), surgery with all the pictures and gory details you could ever need.
This basically gives you a stomach the size of a shot glass, this means that you can ingest very little with each meal. You are advised never to drink with your meals; this reduces the amount of food you can actually consume. I must admit that I used this as a method to reduce the amount of food I did eat when I still wasn't losing weight. The band also encourages bulimia and when all else fails, it's easy to eat steak and just throw it up again! That was becoming my new lifestyle until Easter this year (2011).
I had already joined a gym in January, engaged a personal trainer and started a new low-fat diet of around 1100 kcal a day with loads of fruit. This was working a bit, I had lost a little weight but I had hit the usual plateau and the usual deep depression had set in. I was just about to give in again, then I searched the internet and found Martin MacDonald of Mac-Nutrition, he was hiding right around the corner from where I live! On paper, this guy was the business, he works with celebrities (not the deal maker), he works with the Olympic teams as a lead nutritionist, he also writes for many, many sports magazines and other publications, he is a University Lecturer and publishes loads of stuff freely on his website, Facebook and twitter, not to mention the fact that he also publishes peer-reviewed stuff too. That was the clincher for me; did I say I am a serial student? I have an MBA, MSc, MA and many other professional qualifications, far too many to name. Therefore I feel that I am a fairly intelligent person, however, when it comes to nutrition, health and fitness, I know NOTHING, in fact, I am quite ignorant.
I am where I am today with the patient help and support of both Martin MacDonald and my new Personal Trainer Andy Angell. As of today I weigh 109.2 kg, I cannot thank Martin enough for getting me to this position and for his patience and support through some of the darkest days of my life. Through a process of elimination, he has diagnosed me with hypothyroidism (currently being confirmed by the Doctors too) and he also says that I am metabolically resistant, whatever that means… But he also said that with a lot of determination and on-going support I can lose the 40 kg I still wish to lose, although without Thyroid meds, that will take years!!!
So, this is the start of my journey from the Gastric band to Fitness, I hope it helps others out there to realise that there is a better way than surgery.

Edward Bell
Edward Bell, born in 1939, had a sickness. Bell felt a lust for young girls and he took to unlawful measures to sate those desires. By his own admission, Bell spent from 1966 until 1978 as a roaming pervert. While employed as a traveling salesman, Bell took advantage of his frequent ventures and stalked the streets of Texas and Louisiana towns looking for girls. When he spotted a number of them in a group, he would remove his pants, leave his vehicle and walk up to the girls while masturbating. The girls were rarely more than 16 and as low as eleven years old.
This behavior caused Bell to be picked up by law enforcement several times, but he often managed to talk his way out of situations. He was prosecuted on several occasions, and ended up ordered into mental health centers three different times in an effort to cure him of his desires. Bell was often able to stay ahead of the law by changing his vehicles out.
On August 24th of 1978, Bell was once again prowling for girls when he spotted some in a Pasadena, Texas neighborhood. Bell removed his pants, left his GMC pickup and began masturbating. A woman, Dorothy Ladd, saw this occurring and asked her 26-year-old son Larry Dickens to stall the man while she called the police. Larry was an ex-marine and was not afraid of confronting the somewhat unimposing Bell. Dickens ended up taking Bell's keys, which caused Bell to produce a pistol. He proceeded to shoot Larry four times in the chest. Dickens somehow managed to stumble into his garage and fell into his mother. Bell followed and demanded the keys again. Larry produced the keys, Bell then held the pistol to Larry's head and shot him, while he was still in his mother's grip. She raced inside to call an ambulance.
Dickens was somehow still not wounded enough to give up the fight. As Bell walked back to his truck, Larry rose from the ground, bleeding from five bullet wounds and began to walk after him. He collapsed before long and lay on the driveway. Bell then produced a rifle from his truck, and walked over to Dickens and shot him square in the face.
Larry's sister happened to return home from cheerleading practice at this very moment and realized that a man had just shot her brother. She attempted to block his escape but Bell drove away. The police had the truck's description and happened to pass Bell as they were heading to the crime scene. He was arrested less than twenty minutes after fleeing.
Larry's family identified Bell and he was jailed with a $125,000 bond. He was able to post bail after liquidating his assets. Bell then made a run for it, living in Mexico and Central America, always on the move. He ended up changing his name, getting married and working odd jobs to get by. In the 80's Texas declared him their number one fugitive.
Bell's story ended up being a part of a 1992 broadcast of NBC's Unsolved Mysteries and multiple viewers immediately identified Bell's location to authorities. He was arrested, tried and sentenced to 70 years in prison. He was able to avoid a harsher sentence, such as the death penalty, because he was not charged with capital murder. In fact, thanks to Texas laws that were not changed until 1996, Bell will be automatically released in 2023 when he turns 83 years old, if he lives that long. Bell will be then subjected to mandatory supervision until he passes on.
Bell has made news from his prison cell by trying to claim that he was brainwashed into becoming a flasher, a rapist and a killer. Bell has gone so far as to claim that he killed eleven girls prior to his run in with Dickens. His stories seem to have at least some truth to them, as he was able to successfully describe off the path locations where bodies of girls had been discovered in the past.
As far as the murder of Larry Dickens goes, Bell claims it was all a big accident. His version of events is that Dickens was physically attacking him, so he got a gun for protection. Bell was then struck while holding the gun and had to somehow protect himself. He then explained away the rifle assault by saying that he tripped as he was walking and the gun went off.
Dorothy died in 2012. Bell remains behind bars as of this writing. He was last denied parole in 2013.
Jamie Reynolds
The parents of Jamie Reynolds of Wellington, England knew their son was troubled. When he was eighteen years old, Reynolds had tried to strangle a girl who came over to their home. The police became involved and even though it was known Reynolds was into extreme pornography, was drawing images of nooses over girls that he desired and that he had tortured some animals in the past, Reynolds was let off with just a warning. He was sent to psychiatrists, who Reynolds opened up to about his experimentation with auto-erotic asphyxiation and his twisted sexual fetishes.
Five years later, Reynolds offered a friend, Georgia Williams, the chance to take part in an "artistic" photo shoot, where Reynolds would pose her as she stood on a box. He told her he would then edit out the box and make it appear she was floating on air. Jamie did indeed take some images of a smiling Williams posing as intended, but then the situation turned serious as Reynolds produced a noose and used it to hang Williams. The camera caught picture after picture of Reynolds posing with the dying Williams, then stripping her of her clothes and doing as he pleased with her body.
Williams was reported missing two days later, and it only took the investigators a day to arrest Reynolds as a person of interest. Williams body was found a few days later and a murder charge was placed on Reynolds. He wound up being found guilty and ordered to serve a "whole life" sentence, meaning he will not be capable of seeking parole. The images he took were never released to the public.
Thanks for reading! I'll be back with more cases soon!

Polysomnography involves recording physical characteristics such as brain waves and breathing during sleep. Because of the quantity and complexity of machinery required for this test, physicians need the assistance of a polysomnographic technician. Technician positions may require an associate's degree or certificate, or training may be provided upon employment.
Essential Information
Polysomnographic technicians aid physicians in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. Only a high school diploma may be required to enter into this field; however, those who acquire certificates or associate's degrees will have the best opportunities. In addition, many employers prefer to hire certified polysomnographic technicians.

Polysomnographic Technician Overview
Polysomnographic technicians assist physicians in performing sleep studies to diagnose and find treatment options for disorders such as interrupted sleep, insomnia and sleep apnea. Their job duties include creating polysomnograms, measuring electrical brain waves and other variables, collecting and delivering specimens for analysis and conducting routine patient evaluations. They're also responsible for calibrating and adjusting equipment, scoring sleep tests and documenting test results.
Educational Requirements
In some facilities, the only credential required to become a polysomnographic technician is a high school diploma or equivalent (GED certificate). Individuals who acquire a Certificate of Polysomnographic Technology or an Associate of Applied Science in Polysomnography may have better opportunities available to them in the polysomnographic workforce. The course topics covered in a polysomnography education program may include cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment, patient evaluations, pharmacology, respiratory care techniques, cardiopulmonary physiology and polysomnography instrumentation.
Individuals who enter into the field of polysomnography might choose to become registered polysomnographic technologists (RPSGTs). After becoming fully trained in sleep technology, a prospective RPSGT must pass an exam conducted by the Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists (www.brpt.org). The exam covers a variety of topics in sleep medicine, testing and therapies.
Career Information
Polysomnographic technicians and technologists typically find employment at sleep facilities, hospitals and private clinics. If polysomnographic technicians choose to further their education in the field, they may advance to higher ranking positions within a sleep lab or facility, such as polysomnographic trainer or team leader.
Becoming a technician may not require much education, but some of these professionals may want to increase their career prospects by earning a certificate or associate's degree. Graduates of these programs may consider voluntary certification, which requires completion of an exam.

In Black Panther, CIA agent Everett Ross gets a lot more involved in the action that he did when his character was introduced in Captain America: Civil War. We get a glimpse of the kind of craziness his job sometimes plunges him into. After all, Everett Ross isn't a superhero like the kind he mixes with – far from being an Avenger, he's just an ordinary guy. Albeit one that works for a huge spy organisation. And one with the inherent ability to virtually pilot an aircraft with no prior experience.
FANDOM spoke to Martin Freeman, who plays Everett Ross, and Andy Serkis, who plays Black Panther villain Ulysses Klaue, about what a spin-off involving their characters would look like. And it would look a bit more chilled than the sort of Marvel fare we're used to seeing on screen. Freeman would like to pick up Ross's story during his retirement.
"His spin-off would be about the fact that he had found peace and financial comfort and was now living on and off a yacht on Montego Bay," he says.
But it wouldn't be hedonistic.
"It would be more relaxed than that," he says. "It would be his adventures. Well, I call them adventures — they'd be more sort of 'the happenings' of an ex-CIA agent. Which involves mojitos and dub reggae. It would just be that. Two films of that."
But that doesn't mean it wouldn't involve cameos. Freeman is open to the Black Panther characters putting in appearances, but there are provisos. He'd even let Klaue join the yacht party if he calms down. "Everyone in this film can come but calm down. Just lie down for a bit. Lie in the sun."
Sounds like Andy Serkis is on board with that, because life after Black Panther for Klaue would see him concentrating on his music. According to Serkis: "He makes mixtapes, so I think he'd spend all the money he makes from [selling] Vibranium on creating a really good franchise of mixtapes. I think he wants to reach the people with music. And he'd also start an orphanage."
There's even room for another villain portrayed by Serkis on Everett Ross's yacht. But he's not from the MCU – he's Serkis's Star Wars character, Snoke. Serkis based the villainous Supreme Leader on Hugh Hefner and says he'd like to see him return in a Playboy mansion-type spin-off. Which leads Freeman to immediately invite him to Montego Bay to join an all-male party of "men having manly fun".
Could this be Disney's best crossover yet?
Black Panther hits screens in the UK on February 13 and in the US on February 16.

For hundreds of years or more "cats" are an integral part of Japanese culture and history and hold a special place in Japanese society i.e literature, spiritual. In Thailand "dogs have a similar position. In Japan birds are not attacked by humans like in America, that why people can walk very close to them, many argue rare in most cities in America. Therefore under such characteristics, it seems fitting by the Japanese media to mention the abuse of animals in Japan , which does carry strong penalties.

The Boards of Distinction recognition program awards school boards that demonstrate alignment with the Washington School Board Standards. Any board that meets certain scoring criteria is eligible to become a Board of Distinction. The top scoring boards in small, medium and large sized school districts may also be honored as a Board of the Year.
The program holds rigorous standards. Judges—including past or present state board members and superintendents—attend a pre-review norming meeting to calibrate their scores. To ensure they are rating the board's actions and results, not the writing, they reference the standards and ask the following questions:
This board exhibits the willingness to listen to staff, review data and make decisions in order to bring about positive change. For example, their annual review of data raised a concern regarding program effectiveness for English Language learners. The board asked the elementary staff to review new ELA curriculum and make a recommendation to the board. The board approved the recommendation and authorized the purchase of the first ELA curriculum adoption in 15 years.
In the first year of implementation, there was a 30% increase in the number of students exiting bilingual services. The elementary principal provides ongoing reports to the board using student demographics data, achievement scores, discipline and other data points to identify barriers to educating all students. As a result, the board authorized hiring a school social worker who works to implement evidence-based programming to reduce barriers. The social worker collaborates with teachers, administrators, parents and students.
This board is focused on all students being college and career ready. They developed a student achievement initiative: Improve, Modernize, Prepare. To close opportunity gaps, programs were developed and offered at no cost. These included Kindergarten Jump Start for English Language Learners, Summer Ready Camp, Math Academy for middle school students and a STEM Academy at the high school level. Career and college advisors, mental health counselors and instructional coaches were also added as part of these initiatives. The results for 2017-2018 say 90% of eligible students registered for College Bound, graduation rates increased to 92.5% and there was a 15% increase in the number of graduates meeting requirements for admission to a Washington 4-year college.
This board formed an Equity Task Force and eventually adopted an Equity Policy. As a result, the board directed that the district identify and remove any and all barriers to equity in education. One barrier – access to preschool programs for low-income students – was addressed with resources allocated to create more pre-school programs. Those resources opened up 97 more ECEAP spots for low-income preschoolers representing a 62% increase! Also, Highly Capable assessment was extended to all students in grades K-8. This resulted in an increase of assessment rates across federally recognized sub-groups, such as English Language Learners, low-income students and those students eligible for Special Education Services or a 504 plan.

For those who are looking for love this post may or may not be useful, and to be upfront, this post is an opinion; there may be other opinions out there and if you have one you are certainly free to voice it. However, since love is such a motivating factor in the lives of human beings, I think there is much to be said as to how we search for it and in maintaining it. That said, here is my take on online dating.
1. Online dating is a player's playground. In the land of online dating, it is quite possible to be involved with 2,3 or more people at the same time; especially if the contacts are long distance. While this is possible off line as well, it becomes even more feasible in an online environment. Conversations can go back and forth in chat rooms with multiple people, namely people who are interested in knowing each other better. Depending on what you are looking for, online dating can cheapen the meaning of intimacy; and can be devastating for someone who may come to realize that the person they are involved with, is also involved with many others.
2. Online dating can be misleading and can lead one to believe that finding love is as easy as opening the cook book to find a new recipe for lasagna. It is very easy to portray yourself in a flattering depiction across a computer screen and through charming conversation. Pictures can be misleading, (not what a person actually looks like in person), and conversation can be tailored to what the other person seemingly is looking for.(the tell them what they want to hear mentality). Also, discarding people becomes easier, because after all, you won't have to hear from them again, all you have to do is delete them from your list. Sometimes people find themselves dating someone they would not have looked at twice in person. Deception is all too easy in this forum, and sometimes can be harmful or deadly; which brings me to the 3rd point.
3. Predators abound in an online environment. The news is full sad stories of women or men who have trusted someone they didn't know, believed that they were who they said they were, and later found upon meeting them to be rapist, thieves or murderers. You have to be careful in any dating situation however you meet someone. But, most people you meet online are complete strangers with no tie to a community of people one knows or without any accountability to family, friends or anything. Trusting someone under these circumstances is like playing at your own risk.
3. Online dating leaves you poorer and the dating website richer. Online dating sites are there to make money. The sell is that they want you to find your perfect match; but the reality is you may or may not find a perfect fit. However, some people may feel the more I spend, the more sites I look into, the better my chances.(nothing could be further from the truth, love is not a crap shoot) It works something like insurance companies; you are paying the insurance company hoping that you don't have an accident, yet while they empty your pocket book you don't have an accident; yet they have your money just the same.
4. These next 3 ideas go together. Online dating is not for the emotionally vulnerable. Because of the easy way people can be discarded, one's heart can be broken without any place to go for remedy; and it can be a quick cure for a deeper problem. (The problem of loneliness and social isolation. ) This type of dating environment creates a feeling of being warehoused; like so much of society today. People's feelings shouldn't be open for sale to the highest bidder or to a first come, first served basis. This diminishes or even obliterates individuality, uniqueness and the sacredness of a person's emotions.
While the human heart is complex and multifaceted, online dating can leave one with the feeling that emotions are as easily discarded as old clothes which no longer fit. With each new contact that doesn't work, the heart is supposed to program itself to discard those feelings and move on to the next " love object." Online dating creates the illusion that love is as easy to find as the click of a button, and the world of fantasy easily becomes real. Dating online can become a fantasy world gone wild.
Finally, because the people one encounters for the first time online is not in person; in other words, when you meet this person you don't hear their voice, see them, read their body language or make any kind of eye contact, you could be missing very important clues as to who they actually are. If we as a people have been reduced to meeting possible mates in this manner, it says something about society in general and humanity in specific. Our humanity has been reduced to the level of mechanization and a type of robot existence where people's feelings can be easily manipulated and shifted about on a computer or telephone screen. It diminishes our humanity, it diminishes our humanity, it diminishes our humanity.

Great material, very well presented with explicit and clear goals for my office. Format was relaxed and thorough. I have taken HIPAA courses at local dental society meetings but often felt lost and not knowing what to do next with my office processes and procedures. This is a must take course and can save you trouble and fines in the future. Kudos to Amy for organizing this material and multiple layers of regulation into an easy to understand format.
-Nicholas Rotas, DDS Granite Bay, CA
ACS has been outstanding with merging IT Services with current HIPAA compliance guidance and implementation. In today's office with computer hacking and medical identity theft on the rise, locking our front door and installing anti-virus software is not enough. ACS has been instrumental in understanding which technology needs to be put in place to keep our patient data secure. Their HIPAA compliance Risk Assessment helped educate our dentists and staff on how to keep the patient data secure using secure email, computer and phone use, daily office routines and more. It has been a huge benefit to have their IT services integrated with HIPAA compliance.
-J. Kenji Reyda, DDS Rohnert Park, CA
My practice experienced a significant data breach that has cost a large sum in legal fees not covered by my insurance in preparation for investigation that may result in even more out of pocket costs. If I had engaged Amy and ACS earlier, I would have avoided this stressful and painful experience.

However, they are pretty minimal, essentially like a liner glove, so you'll likely need to pair them with mitts or full finger gloves for anything longer than a quick whip through the woods.
The backs are a Lycra type with subtle retro-reflective branding, and the perforated palm side is made from Clarino. This is a synthetic 'leather' which is machine washable, breathable faux hide. Silicone detailing is extensive, boding well for all-weather grip and, as I'd expect, seamless tech-friendly thumb and forefinger.
Like a liner-type model, they have a second skin fit and shallow cuffs. Sizing ranges from S-XL, and Supacaz has a very comprehensive sizing chart, removing guesswork from virtual purchases. Studying this, I wasn't surprised that L felt bespoke.
Given there's no padding, or ulnar-defending blobs, I've been pleasantly surprised by their comfort on middle distance road rides. I've cruised along for two to three hours, covering 50 miles or so, without any hint of tingling, numbness or related discomfort.
This wasn't such a surprise given my test bikes are presently sporting 3mm thick, vibration-taming silicone wrap. These also do a decent job of taming bigger shocks, associated with unmade roads and singletrack.
> 9 ways to make your bike more comfortable
However, trail buzz became quite intrusive given 20 miles, inducing the mid-ride fatigue I was expecting. Thankfully, I'd packed mitts, which I slipped over. Harmony restored. On colder rides, they've also slipped inside my full-finger winter gloves (of varying thicknesses), without bunching or snagging.
A generally cool, often changeable spring proved an ideal opportunity to test the fabric's ability to retain warmth. I've ridden these distances with the mercury meandering between 7 and 14°C. Even battling some bitter easterly winds, my hands never felt cold, which was very unexpected. The Lycra backs also surprised with their ability to tame a runny nose.
They will saturate relatively quickly, given a sharp shower or more persistent rainfall, but wicked dry in similar timescale, faster with a stiff breeze. Purchase and control have been universally good, wet or dry. Most modern bar tapes tend to be quite tacky too, which helps.
However, I've often found old school glossy wraps (such as Bike Ribbon and Benotto) slippery customers, adding to the sense of fatigue after 50-60 miles or so. Thankfully, the Supa G silicone patterns encompass the palms, so I've needed to concentrate less, keeping everything on track when weather and general fatigue have been eating into my reserves.
The gloves being so thin, I wasn't surprised by their dexterity, whether rummaging through luggage, wielding multi-tools, changing tyres, using compact cameras, phones and so on. Silicone digits certainly help here, as they do in the rain.
I'd read conflicting things, some suggesting they should only be hand washed in cold water, others suggesting low temperature machine washing would be fine. Given most of us will take the machine route, I tossed ours in with my regular bike kit at 30 degrees, minimum detergent. I was initially perturbed when they emerged looking two sizes smaller, but slipping my hands inside and gently stretching everything restored their original shape.
I then hung them out to line dry. Airing cupboards should also be fine but I'd resist any urges to dump them over a radiator. Bargain on 20-25 minutes before they're wearable, or drawer bound. Exposed to the usual everyday carelessness and periodic washing hasn't made any impact upon the materials, or stitching.
While the SupaGs have done exactly what was described in the blurb, there's no getting away from the fact £35 is expensive for such a type of glove. For example, Polaris's Winter Cycling Liner Gloves feature Lycra backs and extensive Silicone detailing for £14.99 – £20 less than the SupaGs – and dhb's Roubaix Liner Gloves are cheaper still. By the same token, there are others, including these Ashmei Merino Gloves, are similarly priced, albeit made from a merino mix and with less comprehensive silicone detailing.
I've been impressed by the fit, comfort and grip afforded by the Supacaz SupaG Long Gloves. They're versatile in the sense that they perform well on their own, with mitts, when the temperature fluctuates, or beneath winter weight gloves when things turn seriously chill. However, they're not as universally good as the blurb cites. It's very likely that you are still going to want mitts or gloves, probably with padded palms, when venturing off-road for any distance.
Competent but very expensive for a liner-type glove

Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
From Supacaz:
* Aerodynamic fit
* Clarino™ Palm
* Superlight
* SiliGrip technology
* Conductive index finger and thumb
Good, but no less than I'd expect, especially at this end of the market.
Overall performance is good, but not necessarily better than other liner types I own and have tested.
No signs of fraying, shrinkage, or other damage to date. Machine washing is fine at 30 degrees.
Very precise, which is a good thing. Sizing guide also seems very accurate, taking the guesswork out of virtual purchases.
Bang on for me.
Despite their charms and competence, expensive for what is essentially a liner glove.
How easy is the product to care for? How did it respond to being washed?
Straightforward, so long as you stick to 30 degree cycles when machine washing.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Barely noticed them, in the positive sense. Work very well beneath mitts on cooler spring rides and, indeed, full finger gloves. Thick, shock absorbing bar wraps mean they've been credible on their own for middle distance road and shorter distance dirt road/forest cut-throughs. Nonetheless, these are a liner type glove, with zero padding.

Scenes from a Ditch, Part 1
The Skipper, which is obviously related to Butterflies and Moths, was a dramatic presence toward the end of my walk around the ditch. Perhaps my strongest memory of the walk. Skippers tend to be fuzzy and moth-like in overall appearance, but their antennae resembles those of butterflies but with little hooks at the ends. Also, they tend to be active in the daytime like most butterflies. The average person encountering one of these would tend to think it a moth.

We are frequently asked for examples of antimicrobials, both as they occur in nature and as we harness their capabilities into technology that can be applied to consumer and commercial products. Let's take a closer look at a few examples of antimicrobials, how they work, and how we apply them.
Examples of Antimicrobials and How Microban® Utilizes Them
While this is not an exhaustive list, and there are other natural substances that have antimicrobial properties, these are examples of antimicrobials that occur naturally that we use in our technology.
Silver has been used as an example of antimicrobial agents since Hippocrates first described silver's antimicrobial properties in 400 B.C. However, it wasn't until 1972 that scientists understood how silver works. Small amounts of silver disrupt bacteria's metabolism by preventing it from converting nutrients into energy, which inhibits bacteria survival, reproduction and colonization.
Microban silver technology, SilverShield®, utilizes the antimicrobial properties of silver in polymers. Because of its unique geometry and highly efficient release mechanism, SilverShield reacts 8 times faster than other silver antimicrobials while maintaining polymer durability and integrity. Read more about how SilverShield is implemented into Microban partner products.
Zinc Pyrithione
Unlike other examples of antimicrobials such as silver and copper, ZPTech® is a wide-spectrum antimicrobial based on zinc pyrithione, effective against not just bacteria but also the growth of fungi including mold, mildew and algae.
Zinc pyrithione was first developed in the 1930s for its antifungal and antibacterial properties, and it is still commonly used today as a main ingredient in anti-dandruff shampoos and as an over-the-counter treatment for seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, athletes' foot, ringworm and other medical conditions. Zinc pyrithione is also used in paints, textiles and polymer products to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi on susceptible surfaces.
Microban ZPTech technology is a very durable example of an antimicrobial. Durability testing shows that polymers soaked for 2000 hours at 70°C in a detergent bath containing 3000 ppm ZPTech remained 99.99% effective in preventing the growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae, a gram-negative bacteria associated with hospital-acquired infections.
It is FDA approved as a treatment for dandruff and other fungal infections at high levels, and at low levels (below 1000 ppm) it is registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as safe to use in a variety of applications, including those that come in contact with food. Read more about how Microban ZPTech is implemented.
Remember, not every company utilizes the same antimicrobials in the same way. The recent appeal of EPA approval from a nanosilver antimicrobial shows that not all examples of antimicrobials are applied in the same safe way that Microban applies our antimicrobial technology. We set the gold standard for antimicrobial performance and continually innovate to raise the bar, ensuring the latest technology without sacrificing safety. Contact us today to learn more about how you can implement these examples of antimicrobials into your products.

Low level laser therapy (LLLT), also known as photobiomodulation, is a technique which uses a low-level laser or light emitting diodes (LED) to improve and repair tissue, reduce pain and lower inflammation. TrueLight™ is the only photobiomodulation device on the market that provides four different wavelengths of light, as well as settings to choose between pulsating and constant light, for faster healing, pain relief and recovery.
Near-infrared (NIR) light therapy is similar to red light therapy, except infrared energy is invisible, and it penetrates the body deeper than red — reaching deep into soft tissues, muscles, joints, and bone.
NIR wavelengths (typically 850nm or 880nm) have been reported as penetrating deeper than other light wavelengths through skin and bone. Skin depth varies around the body, and transmission can also be affected by skin pigmentation levels.
NIR light has been used in light therapeutic devices to assist in addressing a variety of injuries. It penetrates more deeply than UV or visible light and is benign to living tissue. There is very little heat generated by the LED array and therefore no potential thermal injury to individuals being treated. LED is well-tolerated by biological tissues and has no known detrimental effect. As a therapeutic device, LED has achieved an FDA low-risk general wellness status.
The science behind light therapy
Researchers working with NASA have found that light therapy using NIR LEDs operate by activating color-sensitive chemicals in body tissues, stimulating the process in a cell's mitochondria. Light wavelengths from 680nm to 880nm have been found to travel through skin and muscle tissue, to prompt tissue and deep wound healing. Light penetration depends on power, wavelength and proximity to skin.
The basic premise is that long wavelength lights stimulate cellular energy metabolism and energy production. Three major photoacceptor molecules in mammalian tissues are known to absorb light in the NIR range: hemoglobin, myoglobin, and cytochrome c oxidase. Of the three, cytochrome c oxidase has been associated with energy production.
Pulsed Light vs. Constant Light
It has been discovered that when specific frequencies of LED lights are pulsed, body tissue can heal more rapidly. When it is given a continuous burst, it sedates the cell and relieves the pain. When a single-frequency pulsed light hits the cell, it stimulates the cell to start producing more protein than it normally does, as a result, the cell heals faster. Even when the LED light source is taken away, the cell continues its healing. Alternatively, using a continuous light/beam has an effect that can remove/dull pain, reduce inflammation and allows muscle tissue to relax.
New routine at the gym making you sore? Muscles exhausted from to much yard work or just looking to add a variation into your daily meditation? Here are some great ideas to incorporate light therapy into your daily life!
If you're interested in at home light therapy, consider TrueLight ™. It is the only photobiomodulation device on the market that provides four different wavelengths of light, including NIR, as well as both pulsating and constant light. This patent-pending solution offers the maximum feature set for faster healing, pain relief, and recovery.
Junk light exposure when traveling can disrupt your circadian rhythm. Long-term exposure to light at night which accompanies shift work is listed as a probable carcinogen by the World Health Organization. Light at night has shown to be highly associated with significantly the risk of hormone specific such as cancers of the breast and prostate.
The flickering wavelength of light associated with LEDs and compact fluorescent lights emit blue light that inhibits melatonin production but also create a unique glare that impacts your retina causing eye strain, headaches, and physical and mental fatigue.
Red light and darkness move leptin and ghrelin into patterns that are (context dependent) associated with less hunger, while blue light does the opposite and can move both into patterns associated with more hunger.
Increase in cortisol, the stress hormone, due to circadian disruption. Memory recall is impaired with consistent sleep deprivation and may leave you distracted and not performing your absolute best.
The Importance of Melanopsin Cells
Your body requires some blue light at the right time of day and from the right sources. That's why we created TrueDark® Sleep Technology that gives you 24-protection from junk light day and night.
Stop Junk Light with TrueDark® Twilight technology that frees your hormones and neurotransmitters to do their best work.
When the sun goes down, blue light isn't the only junk light that can disrupt our sleep cycle and more than blue blockers are needed. TrueDark® Twilight is the first and only solution that is designed to work with melanopsin, a protein in your eyes responsible for absorbing light and sending sleep/wake signals to your brain. Without melanopsin, melatonin can't be accessed.
When you wear your Twilights for as little as 30 min before bed you prevent your melanopsin from detecting the wrong wavelengths of light at the wrong time of day. This supports your circadian rhythm and helps you fall asleep faster and get more restorative and restful sleep.
The highly advanced lenses in TrueDark® Daywalkers operate on a more advanced level than traditional blue blockers.
Blue light emitted from the sun helps regulate our sleep/wake cycle. However, in today's world, we're exposed to an overabundance of blue light, or junk light from artificial light. This includes hours spent in front of TVs, phones, and computers. It also includes time spent in artificial man made light with LEDs and fluorescent lights. Even if we're simply reading a book, we're doing that in artificial light which emit dramatically more blue light than the sun. That overexposure to junk light during the day has a dramatic impact on our neurotransmitters and hormones that are responsible for quality sleep.
