Mesothelioma is a very aggressive form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos.
The latency period for developing mesothelioma after exposure ranges from 10 to 60 years, but on average the time between exposure to asbestos and the development of mesothelioma is 40 years. That is why it is sometimes difficult for victims and their legal counsel to determine when and where they were exposed. There is no cure for mesothelioma, but advancements in oncology treatment have increased the life expectancy and quality of life for people diagnosed early.
Mesothelioma was once considered a rare type of cancer. Although it is still not as common as many other types, reported cases of mesothelioma have continued to rise in the United States and around the world. In the US there are about 3,000 people diagnosed with mesothelioma every year.
People who develop mesothelioma are often surprised by the diagnosis and may not initially correlate it with asbestos exposure because mesothelioma takes a long time to develop. In most cases, the amount of time between a person's initial exposure to asbestos and the development of the cancer — the "latency period" — can range from 15 to 30 years or even 60 years or more. That is why some people who were exposed to products containing asbestos decades ago are just now developing diseases like mesothelioma cancer and asbestosis.
There are four types of mesothelioma, but the most common is pleural mesothelioma, which occurs in the lining of the lungs (pleura). Peritoneal mesothelioma affects the lining of the abdominal cavity while pericardial mesothelioma originates in the pericardium, or the lining of the heart. The rarest type is testicular mesothelioma, representing less than 1% of all mesothelioma diagnoses.
Mesothelioma lung cancer (Pleural) accounts for approximately 90% of all mesothelioma diagnoses. Pleural mesothelioma symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, difficulty breathing, malaise, and fatigue. Severe pain occurs when cancerous mesothelioma cells grow and spread to the lining of the lungs. Simple acts like coughing, breathing, and swallowing can cause severe pain, giving the cancer a reputation as one of the most difficult to endure. The grim mesothelioma prognosis only compounds the victim's pain.
Difference Between Benign and Malignant Mesothelioma
Benign mesothelioma generally occurs in the abdomen and may not be fatal. The only known cause of malignant mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos, including white, brown, and blue asbestos fibers.
Mesothelioma Treatment Options
Mesothelioma treatment encompasses a wide scope of medical procedures aimed at reducing the size and growth rate, in addition to palliative care options to manage pain. Common medical treatments for mesothelioma include chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery to remove tumors.
Palliative treatments include holistic options like controlling diet and taking herbal supplements; traditional eastern treatments like acupuncture and acupressure; and Pleurodesis or thoracentesis to remove fluid in the lungs. Opioids have been clinically proven to effectively manage pain for mesothelioma and lung cancer patients as well.
Although it's considered a rare cancer, approximately 3,000 people are diagnosed each year in the United States. People who develop mesothelioma are often surprised by the diagnosis and may not initially correlate it with asbestos exposure because mesothelioma takes a long time to develop.
In most cases, the amount of time between a person's initial exposure to asbestos and the development of the cancer — the "latency period" — can range from 15 to 30 years or even 60 years or more. That is why some people who were exposed to products containing asbestos decades ago are just now developing diseases like mesothelioma cancer and asbestosis.
Who is at the Highest Risk of Developing Mesothelioma?
The development of mesothelioma is more common among men, and the likelihood of a diagnosis increases with age. Mesothelioma is more prevalent in geographic regions where oil & gas refineries, chemical plants, manufacturing plants, shipyards, and other industrial sites are present. US Naval Veterans who worked on submarines, naval ships, in shipyards, and in boiler rooms are more likely to develop mesothelioma than other branches of the military and civilians who did not serve.
Compensation is available for people diagnosed with mesothelioma from exposure to asbestos at work, school, from contaminated products, and while serving in the military. If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, contact our office to schedule a free consultation with our attorneys.
What Type of Compensation is Available for Mesothelioma Victims?
People diagnosed with mesothelioma are victims of asbestos exposure, which is the only known cause of it. When someone is diagnosed with mesothelioma, they can file an asbestos claim for compensation. There are different types of claims available depending on how you were exposed.
- Mesothelioma Trust Funds
- VA Mesothelioma Compensation for Veterans
- Wrongful Death Claims
- Personal Injury Claims
- Class Action Lawsuits
- Out-of-Court Mesothelioma Settlements
Mesothelioma trust funds are set up for victims diagnosed with mesothelioma from exposure to asbestos in manufacturing plants, products containing asbestos, or while working in asbestos mines. Veterans can file for compensation from the VA, but may also qualify for compensation from an asbestos trust fund.
In most situations, an individual or family members may choose to file a private mesothelioma lawsuit for negligence or wrongful death.
No matter what type of claim you file, there is always a chance that the company responsible wants to settle out of court. Mesothelioma settlements can occur during the course of a trial, but sometimes companies offer a settlement before the case goes to trial.
Can I Still File a Mesothelioma Compensation Claim if I Don't Know Where I Was Exposed?
A lot of mesothelioma patients do not know where they were exposed to asbestos or to what specific asbestos-containing products. An experienced mesothelioma attorney knows how to research historical exposure to pinpoint any other companies or parties as negligent. A mesothelioma diagnosis is enough proof that you were exposed to asbestos.
A specific mesothelioma diagnosis is not only critical for your medical treatment – it is also necessary to file a lawsuit.
Is there a cure for Mesothelioma?
No, although we have seen progress in the field of oncology no one has ever been cured of mesothelioma. We are hopeful that a cure for mesothelioma will be found soon.
While mesothelioma is a difficult cancer to treat, there has been great progress over the last few years in surgical and chemotherapy treatments. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) is an alliance of top cancer treatment facilities that specialize in mesothelioma treatments. For more details about NCCN treatment recommendations download the NCCN Guidelines for Patients booklet.
Is There a Certain Type of Mesothelioma That is More Deadly than Others?
The most prevalent form of the cancer is malignant pleural mesothelioma, which occurs in the lining of the lungs known as the pleura and is the result of inhaling asbestos fibers. Pleural mesothelioma is the most deadly type of mesothelioma simply by the number of people diagnosed with it.
Pleural mesothelioma of the lungs accounts for 90% of all mesothelioma diagnoses according to a 2013 study made by the National Institute of Health. Mesothelioma lung cancer of the pleura is not only the most common type of mesothelioma people are diagnosed with, it is also the kind strictly associated with asbestos product exposure and exposure at work.
Peritoneal mesothelioma occurs in the lining of the abdominal cavity and is the result of ingesting or swallowing asbestos fibers. Pericardial mesothelioma originates in the pericardium, which lines the heart.
Both peritoneal and pericardial mesothelioma occur very rarely, sometimes metastasizing in people who were initially diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma. If you have been diagnosed, please know that you have the right to seek compensation for all of the pain and suffering you and your family are experiencing.
How is Mesothelioma Diagnosed?
Mesothelioma can be difficult to diagnose since its symptoms are similar to those of other lung ailments, such as congestion and shortness of breath. If you suspect that your symptoms may be the beginning of mesothelioma, it is important to talk to your doctor about possible asbestos exposure and get an accurate diagnosis. A mesothelioma diagnosis is not only critical for your medical treatment – it is also necessary to file a lawsuit and receive assistance from a lawyer for mesothelioma cancer.
What is the Life Expectancy for Someone Diagnosed with Mesothelioma?
Most people are not diagnosed with mesothelioma until the disease has advanced to stage 3 or stage four, which is why the average life expectancy for someone after a diagnosis is less than a year.
How Can Mesothelioma be Prevented?
The only way people can keep from getting mesothelioma is by completely avoiding asbestos exposure. But that is often difficult since asbestos-containing materials were often not labeled properly. Many companies that have made millions from asbestos-laden products simply shirked their duty to protect not only their workers, but consumers as well.

We strongly encourage you or a family member to contact us right away so that we can start the mesothelioma claim process.

Not like payday loans, that are usually for a number of hundred dollars and repaid in a few weeks, instalment loans let you borrow up to $15,000 with reimbursement intervals of as much as three years. Borrowers have taken out loans to pay for tuition or books, dental or medical payments that aren't coated by insurance, dwelling repairs or off high-price loans. Still, is important to set out the terms of any loan to save any confusion later.At present low interest rate payday loans are widely obtainable to individuals who work for themselves as a result of there are numerous lenders and institution who are offering such Fast Cash Loans Bad Credit That provides regulators on each the state and federal level almost two years to figure out how one can bridge the hole between the need for small-greenback loans and the lackluster options. As a result of the loans do not require a standard credit score check, they're straightforward for individuals with monetary issues to acquire. Getting cash to buy a house operating into hundreds of thousands of dollars is one thing tough.
These two occasions provide the authors with a chance to empirically investigate several effects of the elimination of payday loans on household behavior. And to get one, a borrower must be a member of a credit score union for at least a month, and typically complete a monetary-schooling requirement with a view to fulfill a mortgage utility. The regions savings secured which could be for as little as $250, is an installment Cash Loans Today secured by a financial savings account or certificates of deposit. On-line loans are dealt with by way of web functions and approvals, which often means you already know in case you are authorized immediately and you may receive your funds cash loans by way of a financial institution switch.
Alongside your debt-to-revenue ratio, it's important to show that your earnings is excessive sufficient to reliably pay the loan again on time each month. It is helpful for you to pick solely that lender, who is prepared to offer Payday Cash Loans on manageable rates of interest, which might suit your current situations and supply cash with no hustle and bustle. All of us – however there but for the grace of god, go i. All of us slip up and, as you can see, in this letter from this mortgage firm that tyrone communicated with, slipping up means not calling them two to three days earlier than. Store at a number of lenders and choose the loan with the lowest rate for a given loan term.
Therefore, there could be a difficulty with the actual amount of unsecured loan that an applicant is likely to be entitled to. For example, if an applicant has a monthly salary of simply usd4,000, and month-to-month bills of usd3,500, then the lender will solely agree a loan sum that will require monthly repayments of lower than usd500. Together with capital expenditure and curiosity expense, the company burned by way of roughly us$3bn of cash last year.Petra hoffmanni was in want of a mortgage and i applied from various Fast Cash Payday Loans requested me to pay some sum of money at totally different basis however i never got my was how i lost the sum of one hundred.000.00 usdi was now in debt because i borrowed the cash from a day a buddy of mine introduce me to she you move the cash you owe on one card to another bank card with a lower rate of interest.
It's seemingly that creating a bigger marketplace for small-dollar loans that might produce revenue, without working afoul of cash loans rules, would require some new steering, and perhaps regulation from bank regulators. For some people, it may make extra sense to benefit from the 401(ok) Bad Credit Cash Loans and pay yourself back reasonably than pay another lender," she stated. Additionally i'll wish to know if you're critical minded about getting this from me, because i only take care of serious minded and god fearing individuals who have good means of paying back the loan. The funding preparations utilized by western sky and cash name are paying homage to what occurred in the recent mortgage mania. There have been many scams asking for an originating payment from borrowers who can not get a personal unsecured mortgage from banks, so do take notice.

Our society is changing and evolving, and part of that evolution includes women empowerment. This means increasing their roles in various aspects.
Let's talk about women in the software industry and how they are standing out as examples not only for women in this industry but for everyone who is looking for growth and recognition. For this blog post I wanted to let you know about four women who are tearing down stereotypes and making the difference with their outstanding attitude, commitment, talent and fearlessness. Of course, they are part of the Definity First team.
Karla García
Human Capital Generalist
From a young age, Karla García has proven that hard work and great initiative can make people reach their goals. She started as an Intern, and thanks to her fantastic work, she's now part of the Human Capital team. Coming from a more social university career background, she entered a whole different world when she started working at Definity First. "Psychology is a career where you see a lot of women, and somehow you get used to it. That's the reason my first impression when I entered Definity First was: wait a minute, this is not what I expected. Where are all the women? But, now I understand that women and men in this industry have amazing growth opportunities and they are always learning from each other", she said.
What Karla admires the most about women developers is their dedication and commitment. According to Karla, this dedication goes even outside the office and extends to absolutely all the activities they do: hobbies, family, personal life, art or sports. And, that is what makes them very successful. A precursor in technology that Karla admires is Marie Curie, who, with admirable dedication, achieved the unachievable and became an example for all of us.
Monica Rodríguez
QA Engineer
QA is a thorough and tough job. Every detail matters, but there are professionals that really rock at this task. Monica is one of them. A stereotype and obstacle that she encountered during her career was the idea that technology is a profession just meant for men. As a society, however, we have managed to bring those down, giving everyone the chance to stand out in what they really love to do. Plus, "women have proven with solid and successful results that they have the knowledge, the intelligence, the initiative and the organization to succeed in this industry," she affirms.
According to Monica, right now there are no barriers for women in the technology market looking to succeed. It is now easier, and there are a lot of ways in which women can apply their abilities and talent to reach their professional goals. Gender equality is now more of a reality, and it is all about a knowledge competition. If you have the right knowledge whether you are a woman or a man, then you are meant to succeed.
Mayra Garza
QA Engineer
Mayra is also an outstanding member of the Definity First team, and her determination and dedication have characterized the projects that she has worked on. Plus, she is an excellent mother, and has managed to balance her personal and work life. She demonstrates every day that such a difficult balance is possible for anybody. "The software industry is proof of how women have a lot of opportunities to grow professionally. It is also an arena where women have proven how capable and clever they are. A woman in the technology industry is confident about herself, has great negotiation abilities, loves challenges and is not afraid to express her ideas," she added.
What Mayra finds amazing about women in the industry is how brave and fearless they are, how they are always seeking to improve professionally, and how they always look for a win-win situation on everything they do. "Don't be afraid, trust yourself. We have everything we need to climb to the top," she said. This is the message from the awesome QA Engineer to all women out there.
Carina Cordero
Support Manager
Being at Definity First has meant constant growth and goal accomplishment for Carina. That's the reason today she's the head of our Support Team with amazing skills and leadership. Coming from a family background surrounded by hardworking women, it was no strange thing for Carina to start working at a young age and to succeed as a leader. "The software industry and the role women have on it has experienced a 360° turn, and right now we are in a privileged situation. Years ago, however, there were a lot of obstacles for women. These are things like salary, working positions, and growth opportunities where men were more privileged than us. Fortunately, things have changed and we now have a lot of open doors to make the most out of our professional career," she said.
What Carina has learned from her experience in this industry is that women, because of the stereotypes that they faced years ago, got used to giving the extra mile to prove they could achieve the same great things as men. That's what makes women deliver great results and what drives them to accumulate knowledge and experiences from every challenge they face.
I always like to say that every time a woman stands out and accomplishes great goals, she is setting an example, helping, and inspiring other women, maybe without even knowing about it. Karla, Mónica, Mayra, Carina and all women in the software industry are a clear reflection of this.
Definity First is a company that believes in gender equity and gives women and men the same opportunities for professional and personal growth. The company itself is tearing down many stereotypes, and that's why we love it here. We collaborate harmoniously every single day. In this international women's day, let's remember all women that have set an example in our lives and have changed the way things are in society.

An impressive adaptation of a great franchise
Daikichi Kawachi is 27 years old, single and a successful businessperson, but without being very rich. At one point, he returns to his family's house, that he has not visited for a long time, to attend his grandfather's funeral. Once there, he discovers in amazement that a new member has been added to the family: the 6-year-old Rin Kaga, baseborn daughter of his deceased grandfather, from a woman who tended to him the last few years. Her mother has abandoned her and the rest of the family is determined to give her up for an adoption. In a moment of thoughtless enthusiasm, Daikichi decides to adopt the little girl, a decision that immediately makes him face on the hardships of single parenting.
With some help from his unwilling sister, he manages to overcome the initial problems, especially his utter lack of any experience bringing up a child. Nevertheless, at that point he realizes he cannot continue with his overly demanding job, and decides to demote himself to the storehouse of the company, where he discovers many people who wish to spend more time with their children. Some issues continue to exist, but with the help of Yukari, a single mother whose son attends the same kindergarten, he learns how to be a better father. Eventually, he decides to meet the girl's mother.
Sabu splendidly sketches his characters, chiefly Daikichi and Rin, that move on the borders of realism with their choices and general attitude, as is usual with manga adaptations, but within an utterly realistic frame. This frame is the everyday life in the highly capitalistic Japanese society, which is so harsh that actually forbids, in principle, simultaneous professional success and domestic happiness, especially in the large metropolis. The circumstances are even more difficult with single parenting.
I enjoyed particularly the way Sabu presents the warehouse employees, who, despite having lower wage and almost no chances for promotion, they enjoy the fewer working hours and responsibilities, which allows them more time in their search for domestic happiness.
The sole negative of the script is the total lack of conflict between the two protagonists, since the adopted father and daughter seems to get along perfectly, from the beginning, in a fact that does not seem so realistic.
Nevertheless, the primary target of "Bunny Drop" is mainly to entertain instead of perturbing its audience, and definitely succeeds in that aspect.
Kenichi Matsuyama is great as Daikichi, managing to retain a sense of proportion, apart from a few scenes where he becomes slightly hyperbolic. His role is not so difficult, since it does not feature any kind of exaltation, although the fact that he is present almost the whole time on screen, definitely carries some difficulty. Matsuyama;s biggest trait in the film is that he manages portray a number of different statuses, in dramatic, comic, social or romantic scenes. His general appearance definitely helps him in this protrayal, particularly regarding the romantic aspect.
7 -year-old Mana Ashida is the one who steals the show as Rin Kaga, with her performance setting the film apart from the plethora of similar productions. Her transformation from a neglected, eccentric child to a vivacious, extremely smart one is the highlight of a great performance.
Hiro'o Yanagida cinematography is great, presenting impressive images in both the rural and the urban setting of the film, while his framing is truly impressive. Naoya Bando's editing keeps the film flowing, occasionally giving it a sense of if one is reading the pages of a manga.
"Bunny Drop" is very easy to watch and a very entertaining movie, and that is where its virtues lie.

I'm not really sure about this. I'm still trying to figure it out. It just felt like the right time to do it. I guess the only reason that kept me from starting a blog was that I didn't feel like I had any kind of finished product to show for. I had few answers – and a lot more questions.
I reached no final conclusions and found no absolute truths to communicate to the world. But then I realised it's really about the process or the journey towards truth, whatever that may be. It's not about some kind of final destination of 'crystalised truth', but rather about the process of discovery which involves trial and error. Of course, trial is fine, but error is frightening, because I hate to be proven wrong.
But then I asked myself: Do people really need a 'Bible-Answer-Man'? Do they need someone who will assassinate their questions with ready-made, microwaved answers? I doubt it. The answers provided by a B.A.M. may function like soothing painkillers against painful questions, but the effect soon wears off and the pain returns with a vengeance. So no, I don't think people need the Bible-Answer-Man.
Rather I think people need someone to join them in the difficult journey of discovery. Before I could be comfortable to answer people with an irenic 'I don't know', I couldn't start a blog. Now I can, so I did. That's why.

Visa Fraud Attorney
While many immigrants follow all of the proper steps to obtain visas and legally enter the U.S., in some cases, people may commit fraud in an effort to illegally enter the country because they:
- Would likely be denied visas if they attempted to go through legitimate routes.
- Are attempting to smuggle illegal immigrants into the U.S.
- Are attempting to escape some type of prosecution in their native country
- Are involved in committing other crimes, such as drug trafficking offenses or terrorist operations.
When visa fraud occurs and the U.S. government becomes aware of it, the individual who is alleged to have committed fraud will:
- Receive notice of deportation.
- Have a deportation hearing, at which time he can attempt to defend himself against allegations of visa fraud.
- Be deported if the immigration court rules against him.
- Likely never be able to obtain a legitimate visa to enter the U.S. again.
Types of Visa Fraud
Some of the most common ways in which people can commit visa fraud include by:
- Supplying false or forgery documents when applying for a visa
- Failing to disclose relevant facts about oneself that would make that individual ineligible for a visa – For example, failing to disclose a history of being convicted of violent crimes would qualify as an attempt to commit visa fraud.
- Selling or transferring legitimate visas to other individuals
- Lying about the reasons behind wanting to obtain a visa – For example, this could involve an individual lying about being a student in an effort to fraudulently obtain a student visa.
- Forging or altering visa documents in any way.
The specific U.S. immigration laws related to visa fraud include the following:
- Fraud and misuse of visas – 18 USC 1546
- Making false statements to obtain visas – 18 USC 1001
- Fraud related to a person's ID or other identification documents – 18 USC 1028
- Bribing public officials in an attempt to fraudulently obtain visas – 18 USC 201
- Conspiracy to defraud the U.S. – 18 USC 371.

U.S. Representative Tim Bishop on Tuesday said in a press release that he will not vote for a new debt proposal by House Speaker John Boehner, which he said would continue the specter of government default, virtually assure a downgrade in the U.S. credit rating, and lead to massive cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security while preserving tax loopholes.
At the same time, Mr. Bishop said in the release that he would reluctantly vote for a proposal from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to cut $2.7 trillion over 10 years with no revenue increases and no cuts to Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security.
Mr. Boehner's plan would cut an immediate $1.2 trillion in domestic discretionary spending over 10 years, which would help increase the debt ceiling for six months. The plan would then require Congress to cut an additional $1.8 trillion in spending over 10 years without any increase in revenue, which would lead to cuts in Medicare and Medicaid as outlined in the budget passed by House Republicans in April.
"I cannot vote for something that is so damaging to the middle class families I was elected to fight for and so contrary to every value I believe in," Mr. Bishop said in the release. "My line in the sand is that I will not support a deal that asks Medicare recipients to sacrifice, but does not ask for an ounce of sacrifice from big oil companies and hedge fund managers. It is long past time to find a reasonable compromise and then get on to the business of helping Americans find jobs."
Should the nation be subjected to another debt limit showdown in just six months, leading bond ratings agencies including Standard & Poor's have said they might still cut the U.S. rating to AA from the current AAA, the release notes. Such an historic cut would mean higher interest rates on everything from the debt paid by the government to mortgages, credit cards, and student loans—essentially imposing a tax on all Americans.
Mr. Bishop said in the release that he has consistently advocated a balanced approach to deficit reduction that would combine spending cuts with targeted revenue increases by eliminating loopholes and wasteful expenditures in the tax code.
Failing to raise the debt ceiling by August 2 "would no doubt have a very adverse effect very quickly on the recovery," Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress last week. The U.S. would immediately have to cut 40 to 45 percent of federal outlays, potentially jeopardizing Social Security benefits, paychecks for members of the military, and the nation's ability to pay interest on our outstanding debt. The precipitous drop in government spending could also send the economy towards another recession.

Personally, I cannot be more happy about this! But what does this mean for the Fox films that are already scheduled for release such as Deadpool 2, X-Men: Dark Phoenix, and The New Mutants?
Instead of reading my thoughts why not check out my video below in which I discuss this in detail!

Case study
WW1 Australian VC recipient Clifford William King Sadlier
The story of Australian First World War Victoria Cross recipient Clifford William King Sadlier.
66 men from Australia received the Victoria Cross, Britain's highest award for gallantry, during the First World War. As part of the Centenary Commemorations the people of the United Kingdom marked their gratitude to those courageous men by presenting a bronze memorial plaque to their home country engraved with their names. The plaque is now displayed at the Australian War Memorial. This archive tells their stories.
Name: Clifford William King Sadlier
DOB: 11 June 1892
Place of Birth: Melbourne, Australia
Date of Action: 24 to 25 April 1918
Place of Action: Villers-Bretonneux, France
Rank: Lieutenant
Regiment: 51st Battalion, Australian Imperial Force
Clifford Sadlier was born in Melbourne, Australia, on 11 June 1892. He was working as a commercial traveller when he enlisted as a private in May 1915, and saw service in Egypt with the medical corps, and then later on the Western Front. He was commissioned in 1917, and was promoted to lieutenant in April 1918.
Lieutenant Sadlier was with the 51st Battalion when he was awarded the Victoria Cross for conspicuous bravery on 24 to 25 April 1918 during the Second Battle of Villers-Bretonneux in France. His citation explains:
Lt. Sadlier's platoon had to advance through a wood where a strong enemy machine-gun post caused casualties and prevented the platoon from advancing. Although himself wounded, he at once collected his bombing section and succeeded in killing the crews and capturing two of the guns. By this time Lt. Sadlier's party were all casualties, and he alone attacked a third enemy machine gun with his revolver ,killing the crew of four and taking the gun. In doing so, he was again wounded. The very gallant conduct of this officer was the means of clearing the flank, and allowing the battalion to move forward ,thereby saving a most critical situation. His coolness and utter disregard of danger inspired all.
Sadlier was later invalided back to Australia and settled in Brusselton, Western Australia. For some years he was State Secretary of the Returned and Services League. He died in 1964.

3Com targets enterprise market ... again
3Com is targeting the enterprise networking market for the third time, this time with cheaper H3C switches from the 3Com Huawei venture.
Taking yet another stab at the high-end enterprise networking market, 3Com is today launching its H3C Technologies brand of equipment globally, along with an invitation-only channel that will take aim directly at Cisco.
3Com -- once considered an Ethernet pioneer and Cisco's fiercest competitor in the '90s -- will have a difficult time convincing North American channel partners and high-end customers to invest in its enterprise equipment. The company dumped its high-end corporate networking portfolio in 2000, leaving many channel partners with a gaping hole at the top of their line. Then in 2003, 3Com made another attempt at entering the enterprise market with equipment it had developed with Chinese company Huawei. That equipment -- branded H3C -- was successful in China, but not in North America.
"3Com bailed on the channel, or checked out on them for a while," said Janet Waxman, IDC vice president of infrastructure channels and alliances.
What's more, while 3Com has maintained a networking portfolio and channel focused on the small and medium-sized business (SMB) space, the company is returning to a much more challenging enterprise market than it left behind. This year, Brocade has taken its newly acquired Foundry equipment and launched an end-to-end storage, data center and core portfolio that will be sold through tens of thousands of IBM partners, as well as a fledgling Brocade channel. In addition, Hewlett-Packard beefed up its HP ProCurve line to serve the high-end data center, and with the acquisition of EDS, HP has a worldwide army on the streets angling for Cisco's business.
3Com is hoping its H3C line will take North America by storm, as it did China. 3Com and Huawei developed H3C enterprise equipment over the last five years. In 2008, 3Com bought out Huawei, and the line has now captured the largest enterprise accounts in China, growing to $609 million in revenue in the five years since launch.
3Com is using the recession as its marketing angle to conquer the North American enterprise market. Saar Gillai, 3Com senior vice president of worldwide products and solutions, likened H3C to Toyota, which disrupted the automobile market during a recession with innovative technology and lower prices. 3Com is promising that its H3C technology can outpace Cisco at prices that are 20% lower.
"This is the perfect storm -- a combination of a downturn when people are asked to do more with less," Gillai said. "Because of the downturn, people are considering other vendors. Networking is not that complicated, so why do I have to be locked in?"
Virtualization-ready H3C switches and management platform target Cisco
3Com's H3C has a technology story worth telling. The North American portfolio will include a new high-end data center switch -- the S12500 -- that will rival the Cisco Nexus 7000. The S12500 offers 6.6 terabits of throughput and scales to either 864 gigabit ports or 512 10 gigabit ports. Like the Nexus 7000, the S12500 also enables a unified fabric of converged Fibre Channel and Ethernet. H3C also promises that the switch will use 50% less power than the Nexus 7000.
Then there is the new H3C S5800G/XG Flex-Chassis, a modular switch that can work in the core or the access layer of a medium-sized enterprise network or can sit at the top of rack in the data center. The switch can support up to 24 ports of 10 gigabits per unit or up to 80 ports of 1 gigabit per unit, supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) for energy efficiency. What's more, the S5800 offers a virtual fabric so that switches deployed throughout a network can be managed as one.
"You can deploy the 10 gigabit version in three different buildings and manage it as a single switch," said Dominic Wilde, 3Com senior director of global product line management.
The switches come with the H3C Intelligent Management Center (IMC), a virtualization optimized platform that manages the entire enterprise network in a multi-vendor environment. The H3C management platform is specifically designed to manage virtual platforms as quickly as they are created and dismantled.
"Cisco's Achilles' heel is their management story," Wilde said. "They have 76 different products that manage different products [in the network]."
H3C rounds out what will be a triumvirate of 3Com brands, including the self-named SMB focused networking equipment and the TippingPoint line of security products. All in all, the H3C North American channel will also be able to sell a full set of IP telephony communications and video surveillance equipment, as well as the company's security suite, including unified threat management and VPN firewall.
3Com partners need not apply?
For a company in the process of building a new channel, 3Com is releasing very few hardcore details about the partner program. Like the Brocade channel, H3C is promising that it won't over-saturate the market with partners, as its competitors do. That said, the company won't say exactly how many partners will be enlisted this year.
3Com did say that many of the existing Focus Partner Program partners won't necessarily be asked to join the H3C channel unless they fully qualify. The new H3C Enterprise Partner authorization process ensures that new partners have expertise in selling and supporting enterprise networking solutions from the network edge to the data center. The first companies to become H3C Enterprise Partners are BT France, Datcom and Lefatshe in EMEA and Corporacion Font, HPCG and THEOS in Latin America. Additional authorized partners will be added worldwide in the coming weeks.
"The kinds of sales that are involved for the large enterprise are unique to a different type of channel partner," said Alex Dobson, vice president and general manager for North America. "This is really a more sophisticated type of partner that can be involved in complex data networking requirements. We're looking to nurture [new partners] in addition to the partners that already fit. 3Com has an existing base of channel partners that are in the hundreds, and we will continue to work with them."
Neil Medwed, president of Richardson, Texas-based Preferred Technology Solutions, is one of the 3Com partners who have been asked to join the H3C channel. From Medwed's perspective, "the fruits of the partnership with 3Com are finally becoming ripe."
Yet 3Com partner PM Systems Inc. hadn't even heard of the H3C North American release when contacted late last week.
"We don't really care about high enterprises," said William "Beau" Sanders, president and CEO of S.C.-based PM Systems. "We've been going mostly with Cisco lately anyway because that's where the demand has been."
Analysts agree that it's smart for 3Com to start with a smaller, extremely qualified channel for H3C.
"Cisco doesn't open up all of its products to everyone that wants to sell them. You've got to meet some criteria," Waxman said. "This is really high-end networking."
A smaller channel must also be more tightly managed and appropriately executed to attack specific regions, according to Forrester analyst Chris Silva. Also, H3C can be more experimental with pricing when working with a smaller group of partners.
"Starting with a small focus that ultimately broadens is a better idea," Silva said, adding that it's hard to "stop a snowball once it's rolling."
New VARs for H3C won't be recruited in the usual way. Many of the new data center-focused partners will come through customers that H3C is already talking to, Dobson said. He added that H3C has been pitching equipment directly in the U.S. for nine months.
"We want to approach this in an organic way, first earning our stripes again with high-end customers," Dobson said. "When we get into the end user, there may be a vendor in that account, and they haven't thought of 3Com in the way that we can present ourselves today."
Once new VARs are signed on, Dobson said, the company will work more intensely to provide them with end-user contacts instead of "relying on them completely to do all of the selling." But he also promises a deal registration program that will protect these VARs from losing deals to rival VARs or direct sales. The program will also reward partners for integration and ongoing services.
3Com H3C to play the price card against Cisco
3Com has long sold itself as the cheaper alternative to Cisco, and the company has not been able to maintain a huge market share even in the midmarket. That said, Cisco has worked hard to capture the Chinese market and has largely lost out to H3C in the past five years.
"I think they have good timing here," Silva said. "What they're going to try to be is a cost leader … they're appealing to budget sensitivities. Right now, 38% of companies are still investing in the network."
From a channel perspective, the recession is giving enterprise IT employees a little more leeway in terms of what they are allowed to buy.
"It's not just Cisco that has good products anymore," Medwed said. "Extreme has good products; Juniper has good products."
"Switching is not rocket science," he said. "If you go for the 3Com solution, you're going to achieve the same end results. Because of the economy, if you're going to spend $2 million on Cisco gear, and a comparable 3com solution may be $1.4 million, that $600,000 is key."
Silva warned that 3Com might want to reconsider focusing so hard on Cisco when HP -- which has been known as the cheaper alternative to Cisco -- poses such a competitive threat. On the other hand, he said, HP's recent headway in the enterprise market is ultimately a good sign for 3Com.
"More exposure for HP ProCurve is good for anybody in the market," Silva said, "because it sends the message: 'We can do what Cisco does at a lower cost.'"
The IMC management platform will be available in June, and the S12500 and S5800 will be available in July.

Optical Tweezers - Application Note Videos
Demonstrating the capabilities of the E3500 Optical Tweezers system
Optical Tweezers: Application Note Videos
A number of experiments were commissioned by Elliot Scientific to test and demonstrate the capabilities of the standard E3500 Optical Tweezers system. These were undertaken by a team at St. Andrews University and are presented as a series of Application Notes with accompanying videos.
These recordings can be viewed below, on YouTube, or downloaded as Windows Movie files from the Documents tab above.
Videos accompanying Application Note 2:
Trapping and Manipulation of Multiple Cells and Cell Adherence
|3x3 Grid Manipulation - This video shows a trapped 3x3 array of 2 µm polymer beads to demonstrate expansion, contraction, and rotation. Video speed is 2x.
|5x5 Grid Manipulation - This video shows a trapped 5x5 array of 2 µm polymer beads. It demonstrates expansion, contraction, and rotation as well as movement of a single bead in and around the 25 trapped beads. Video speed is 2x.
|TRA Array - This video shows 3x3 trapping of algae, demonstrating Z trapping and then expansion, contraction, and rotation of the cell array. Video is recorded at 2x speed.
|HEK Adhesion - Two HEK (human embryonic kidney) cells were held in circular trap arrays and brought into contact so that they became stuck together. This cell coupling is demonstrated until one of the cells is dropped from the trap and the force of its sinking pulls it away from the other cell.
|RBC Array - This video, shot at 2x speed, shows 3x3 trapping of red blood cells. It demonstrates expansion, contraction, and rotation of the cell array as well synchronised rotation obtained by using two sets of 3x3 traps to capture both ends of the 'donut' of each cell.
|RBC Flip - This video, shot at normal speed, shows a small amount of stretching of a red blood cell but, more importantly, shows the handy trick of 'flipping' by using a circular array of traps, so that it lies parallel to the detection plane. The cell flips onto its side during stretching due to insufficient power in the ring array to overcome the cells natural preference to twist when trapped between two beads.
Videos accompanying Application Note 3:
Cell Stretching
|RBC Stretch - 1 - Both of these movies, recorded at 2x speed, show stretching of the same red blood cell. The cell is positioned parallel to the detector using a circular array of traps. This is because these cells prefer to flip onto their side when only the beads are trapped. A different laser power is used in each video to show different amounts of stretching - which is not noticeably visible between the two videos. Eventually the cell stops stretching and snaps back to its original shape, pulling the bead used for stretching out of its trap.
|RBC Stretch - 2
Videos accompanying Application Note 4:
Photoporation and Transfection of Cells with Pulsed Laser Light
|HL60 Optoinjection - 1 - HL60 (human leukemia) cells were used in these two optoinjection/photoporation studies. A co-aligned 800 nm, 200 fs laser beam was used for poration, with an electronic shutter defining the dosage - 40 ms provided a gentle push and made fewer bubbles, while 120 ms was a massive blast that usually destroyed the cells.
|HL60 Optoinjection - 2

Day 75 – Wednesday July 4, 2007 – Minneapolis, Minnesota to Sioux Falls, South Dakota
We started our Independence Day in one of my favorite cities, Minneapolis, MN. This was my third time in Minneapolis, but the first time I was able to enjoy it when the temperature outside was reasonable. I don't think Minneapolis is the most beautiful city, nor does it have the most activities, but the people are friendly and I get such a great feeling every time I am there. The first two times I visited the city, I was there to see the Packers play the Minnesota Vikings. The only thing I would miss this time in Minneapolis, was my brother, who was with me both of the previous times I was there.
Jasmine and I planned to wake up early, go to the Mall of America (she really wanted to go and it is Independence Day) and then head west to Sioux Falls, SD relatively early. As has been the case more than once on this trip, we didn't wake up as early as hoped. Fortunately though, we still woke up early enough to afford us a few hours at the enormous mall.
The Mall of America is the largest mall in the USA. Having been there before, I wasn't surprised by the mall, but Jasmine was dying to see it. Among other things, the mall contains an aquarium, amusement park, movie theaters, about 20 restaurants and of course hundreds of stores. This was my third time there and I still don't think that I have seen everything that the Mall of America has to offer..
We spent about four hours at the mall, doing typical mall things. We browsed the shops a little and also ate lunch. Shawn Reece wanted to see the amusement park, so we also passed through that area. Jasmine and I had already decided that we weren't going on any of the rides due to our limited time. At 2:30pm we left the mall and Minneapolis behind, headed for Sioux Falls, SD about four hours to the west.
On the way to South Dakota we drove through a little chunk of Iowa. We definitely entered the Great Plains, as corn fields provided the backdrop for hundreds of miles. It was fun to see a different landscape from what we have encountered thus far. Luckily, we didn't run into another storm and we arrived in Sioux Falls right on schedule.
I had done some research and found out about the local fireworks show that was going on in Sioux Falls. The show was to be at 10pm, but the South Dakota Orchestra was playing a concert from 8:30pm until 10pm. Upon arriving in Sioux Falls, we checked in to the hotel, had dinner and then headed over to the fairgrounds, where the show was to be held.
Sioux Falls is the largest city in South Dakota with a population of about 200,000 in the city and surrounding areas. The advertisement for the show, proclaimed that it was to be the largest in the area, so we were expecting something good! We arrived at the fairgrounds and took a seat in the grandstands. For the next hour and a half, the South Dakota Orchestra put on a tremendous concert. It is amazing, that the older I get, the more I appreciate this type of music!
At 10 o'clock the orchestra stopped playing and the fireworks started. The fireworks were rigged the old fashioned way, in a trailer located behind the stage. There was no fancy computers controlling everything, simply a couple of guys who carefully set everything up and lit the fuse. The first ten minutes were pretty lackluster, with one or two shells fired at a time. However, towards the end of the twenty minute show, dozens of shells shot into the air every few seconds, in what has to be one of the best firework finales I have ever seen.
When the show was over, we went back to the hotel and retired for the night. Tomorrow, we are driving through South Dakota in order to see four big heads on the side of a mountain. Beyond that, we are going to be moving pretty quickly through this region in order to allow us some time in the Pacific Northwest. It should be fun!

According the The Merck Manual, inadequate exposure to sunlight predisposes to vitamin D deficiency. Deficiency impairs bone mineralization, causing rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults and possibly contributing to osteoporosis. Treatment usually consists of oral vitamin D; Ca and phosphate are supplemented as needed. Prevention is often possible. Rarely, hereditary disorders cause impaired metabolism of vitamin D (dependency).
Vitamin D deficiency is common worldwide. It is a common cause of rickets and osteomalacia, but these disorders may also result from other conditions, such as chronic kidney disease, various renal tubular disorders, familial hypophosphatemic (vitamin D–resistant) rickets, chronic metabolic acidosis, hypoparathyroidism (which reduces vitamin D absorption), inadequate dietary Ca, and disorders or drugs that impair the mineralization of bone matrix.
Vitamin D deficiency causes hypocalcemia, which stimulates production of PTH, causing hyperparathyroidism. Hyperparathyroidism increases absorption, bone mobilization, and renal conservation of Ca but increases excretion of phosphate. As a result, the serum level of Ca may be normal, but because of hypophosphatemia, bone mineralization is impaired.
