ORCAS Announces Release of Mobile Coaching Platform that Lets Counselors and Care Providers Remotely Engage, Assess and Monitor Users
Categories: Uncategorized
CoachHub™ represents the next generation of user-driven coaching and user engagement.
ORCAS today announces the release of CoachHub™, a flexible coaching platform that connects users with health coaches, counselors, and care providers through real-‐time chat, in-app messaging, video chat or telephone. CoachHub is suitable for counselors, health and wellness coaches, pharmacists, physicians, case managers, nutritionists, financial experts and peers. For users, CoachHub lowers barriers to coaching by giving them complete flexibility and control over when, how, where and to what extent coaching is accessed and used. CoachHub seamlessly integrates with ORCAS's portfolio of self-management interventions, such as MoodHacker™, BlipHub™ and Love Every Day™, or can be used as a standalone coaching platform; it can also integrate with other apps, devices and data management systems.
Using CoachHub™, coaches and other care providers can easily setup a profile, including their experience, education, and specialties and immediately begin working with users who request their help. With their client's permission, coaches can view their progress, app activity, biometrics and assessment results in real-time. They can also record notes, client goals, and reminders to assist and inspire clients to work toward long‐term, positive behavioral change. An in-app calendar allows clients to easily request appointments. A drop in progress, low assessment scores, or poor biometric readings trigger when more support is needed. Users in turn can browse coaches to find a match and filter by location and specialty.
"People who are self-managing their physical and emotional health often need someone to speak with for guidance and support, but it's not always easy to get professional help when it's needed most," said Michael Mulvihill, ORCAS CEO. "CoachHub is a new way of health coaching, enabling users to overcome geographic barriers and time constraints byenabling them to access coaches from any mobile device for real time assessment, guidance and support."
With CoachHub™, coaches now have the flexibility to reach, motivate and monitor more people more efficiently than ever before. CoachHub reflects input from a variety of coaches who used it in focus groups and made recommendations to make the experience more intuitive and engaging for both coaches and users. CoachHub offers all levels of support, from "light touch" coaching to full care team support, either through integration with ORCAS' suite of self-management apps or as a stand-alone platform where a user can take a simple well-being assessment to provide the coach with insights and a baseline for measuring progress.

This is the short wrap up of the WhoWeAm series on looking at education through the lens of culture. Two points—very simple. Blink and you'll miss it.
This 5th film installment in WhoWeAm's series on education is an interview with an Art Teacher who looks at her classroom as an opportunity to build a new culture from the many disparate voices and insights students bring in.
This 4th film installment in WhoWeAm's series on education looks at the absurd discrepancy between traditional US culture and the current US schools.
Sometimes you just have to say it: There's an elephant in our living room. This week's film is about something we all know and love, or know and hate, or put up with, or enjoy, but we all accept as an inevitable part of the landscape.
Sometimes the things that make the difference on issues like education are so obvious that we just can't see them. A little research and a couple of teenagers can be counted on to help us see the light.
The first short film in a series that deconstructs "the education problem" in the US by looking at it through the lens of culture. Yeah, I know, I know…whatever THAT means. Hey, just check it out—we might just be onto something here. You never know.
As an artist/educator, it seemed relevant to learn about how the human mind and brain process information and respond to stimuli. In the classroom, I shared what I was learning with my students—figuring they might be interested. They were. One thing led to another and pretty soon I was teaching myself to write grant applications to the National Institutes of Health to fund media to teach teenagers about their brains. Needless to say, my Masters of Fine Arts in painting didn't really prepare me for this so somehow I convinced a team of scientists to help me. My goal was to persuade the NIH to give me a large sum of money to make films that could help young people understand what their brains were capable of, and how they could use them to build the lives they wanted.
Part 4—the final short film in this series about intuitive insight and the cultural impediments to becoming the innovation powerhouse the US has planned for itself. Sure, we're talking about brains and culture and other pointy-headed stuff here, but I'm trying some other things here—experimental non-fiction. Some nice flowers for ya'll.
Part 3 of a multi-post film about how innovation, creativity and prevailing cultural ideas about it in the US. This…
It was a long trip from cultural ground zero in Schenectady, but ultimately, I settled in Baltimore. Despite years spent in New England, London and New York, the seamy-sweet tang of Baltimore's culture sucked me right in. It felt palpable and compelling. In decline since before the riots and abandonment of the sixties, Baltimore careened like its old streetcars around the curves the late twentieth century threw at it. Successful in the past, it was now a drunken uncle rebelling his way toward retirement.

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program helps income-eligible people file their federal and New York State tax returns for free, and claim the Earned Income Tax Credit.

What is the Earned Income Tax Credit?
The Earned Income Tax Credit is a tax credit for people who work and earned $52,427 or less in the 2014 tax year (depending on filing status and number of dependents; see the income guidelines listed in this brochure).

An RAL could hurt your credit rating because the loan fee must be paid even if the IRS denies your refund or your refund is smaller than expected.

The meeting was held, the Russian attorney, Natalia Veselnitskaya, had no information on Clinton and wanted to talk about her pet cause, Americans adopting Russian kids. The biggest foe of the Trump administration is the clownish manner in which they often conduct themselves. As for going to a foreign government to get dirt on a political adversary: bad, very bad, and very common, as the Clinton campaign demonstrated by working with the Ukrainian embassy in regard to producing dirt against Trump.

Call for Submissions
Alan Pelaez Lopez (México), Editor
The editor invites contributions to a multi-genre anthology (Our Diaspora) that brings together narratives of the African Diaspora written, edited and illuminated by and for formerly and currently Black/Afro undocumented individuals living in the United States.
We are at a state of emergency within the Black community: a state of emergency in which the average life of a Black transgender women is 35 years; a state of emergency where it's normal to see videos of police brutality against Black youth; a state of emergency where anti-Blackness is evident in every community, including all communities of color; we are at a state of emergency where the voices of Black individuals need to be heard.
There are over 400,000 undocumented African migrants in the United States and thousands more undocumented and formerly undocumented migrants that identify with the African diaspora that haven't been heard. Our voices have been appropriated by white academics, U.S.-born citizens, non-profit organizations and news reporters, but it is time we claim our space.
There is no literary piece that brings together individuals from the African diaspora that happen to be, or have been, undocumented in the United States, engaging in a collective healing process. As editor, I understand that this is not an easy, and at times, "safe" topic to unpack, but we have a community out there that's itching for representation.
The hope is that this collection of writings will serve as a living document of our ancestral traumas, our voices, our needs, our truths, and inspire personal and institutional transformation that will abolish the deep rooted anti-Blackness sentiments in immigration policy from the United States to France to the Dominican Republic to Myanmar.
The anthology seeks to answer:
- How are the experiences of Black undocumented individuals creating a narrative of refusal of the settler colonial state, White Supremacy, and hetero-patriarchy in the United States and across international borders?
- How has Blackness influenced the immigrant rights movements in the United States?
- How have Black undocumented transgender, gender-queer and gender non-conforming migrants created narratives of resistance that parallel to the resistance seen throughout the crossing of the middle passage?
- How do Black undocumented migrants construct both sexual and gender identities that contradict normative views of masculinity and "good" manners?
- In what ways has undocumented migration been one of the results of the transatlantic slave trade?
- What do you have to say to your younger Black self?
- What is your analysis of the anti-Blackness crisis in the Dominican Republic? The United States? France? Myanmar?
- During the outbreak of #BlackLivesMatter where were you? Where weren't you? How was it engaging in conversations with your community and or family members that may not identify as Black?
- Creative non-fiction narratives
- Poetry
- Photojournalism pieces
- Spoken Word: Must submit both video and written piece
- Critical essays that involve research in any field of study: You must send a 150 word abstract
- Interviews:
As a disclosure, we are prioritizing submissions of interviews between Black (un)documented migrants on the issues of slavery and coming to terms with a Black identity; as well as submissions that deal with the intersecting identities of Black transgender lives and the identities of being Black and with disabilities. You must send a 150 word abstract of the purpose of the interview to the editors.
What we are looking for from contributors:
We invite our contributors to not hold back or censor their work— we want them to be unapologetic and share their Truths. If submitting, we ask that you do not italicize words in another language and that you use "Black" and "Indigenous" (with a capital B and capital I) instead of "black" and "indigenous" (with lower case b and i). We also ask that your work is inclusive of those that do not benefit from the cis-hetero-able colonial power earned during birth.

City Extends Discount To Vets
GRAND RAPIDS — Local armed services veterans who own a small business will now get an automatic discount on their bids when they try to do business with the city.
City commissioners recently established the Veteran's Bid Discount Program as a way to increase business opportunities for veterans.
"It is very important that we show our respect for veterans," said outgoing 2nd Ward Commissioner Rick Tormala.
The bid discount program will be managed by the city's Equal Opportunity Office and will be incorporated into the city's policies regarding the purchase of goods and services, and the city's construction policy.
"It's an annual bid discount, meaning veterans would have to apply once a year and the discount would be good for a year," said Equal Opportunity Director Ingrid Scott-Weekley.
Veteran-owned small businesses would receive a 1-percent discount on bids. But to qualify for the discount, veterans must register their businesses with the federal government, which, in turn, verifies whether the business is actually owned by a veteran.
Tormala said he thought the program for veterans would stand up to Proposal 2 — which created a statewide ban on preferential treatment based on race and gender in the public sector — as vets come from both genders and all races.
"This is about status," said Tormala.
Third Ward Commissioner James White said he hopes veterans take advantage of the discount and that the program encourages more veterans to start small businesses.
"This is really an economic development effort," he said.

SYDNEY MORNING HERALD - July 16 : Captain Brett Kirk's mission: to boldly go where Aussie rules has never gone before
Which is the bigger challenge: an international mission to bring Aussie Rules to the rest of the world, or travelling the globe for half a year with four kids under the age of six?
Both were demands facing former Sydney Swans captain Brett Kirk, who, after retiring in 2010, landed the role of international ambassador for the AFL. At their behest he toured 23 countries, and in tow were his wife Hayley, son Indhi, 6, twin daughters Memphys and Tallulah, 4, and Sadie, 2.
"Everyone said we were crazy when we decided to embark on this great adventure," Kirk says of life on the road with small children. "Obviously it was challenging at times, but no more challenging than it would be being back in Australia. We were just so grateful that we could take the opportunity to give some perspective to our children about how other people live."
The AFL was seeking to build on the 100,000-plus players of the game worldwide, with Kirk visiting and mentoring teams as diverse as the Western Cape Magpies in South Africa, Reykjavik Bulls in Iceland, the Vikings (Denmark) and the Toronto Blues (Canada).
News of the global drive came across the radar of Sydney filmmaker Michael Stringer McIntyre, who documented the tour for the feature Aussie Rules the World, which is about to get a limited theatrical release nationally.
On a mission: (From left) Filmmaker Michael McIntyre, Brett and Hayley Kirk and their children.
For McIntyre, the story is not only about the AFL's survival in the face of changing viewing habits and the growth in popularity of other sporting competitions, such as the English Premier League. It is also, and centrally, about the charismatic Kirk, one of the code's most highly respected figures.
"Here's this intelligent Buddhist, fairminded, inspiring leader, yet a fearless warrior on the field," McIntyre says. "It was a delight. I was continually learning from him and watching his ability to communicate and relate to people. It was a joy and a bit of a fantasy, really – following this extraordinary superstar, playing and hanging out with others that play a game that I love."
The camera follows Kirk as he connects with sports groups such as the Tel Aviv Peace Team, which has both Palestinian and Israeli members, as he negotiates travel chaos in India, and sings and dances on the pitch with South African players.
Going global: Aussie rules touches down in Africa.
"It was wonderful because it was so grassroots," says Kirk. "I'd been so indoctrinated in terms of the professional lifestyle of an athlete and everything that goes with it. I was back full circle to where I was as a kid, where it was all about community volunteers and people having a kickaround and barbecue, and those sorts of things, and everyone being together and lots of fun and laughter."
The film is narrated by another ambassador of the sport, David Wenham, and concludes back in Australia for the AFL International Cup,which consists of 17 competing nations. It is being released to coincide with the next Cup tournament, which begins in Melbourne in August.
Kirk, who is now assistant coach at the Fremantle Dockers, says he hopes the film will spark a conversation about the game overseas. "Footy is a great connector and leveller," he says. "It doesn't matter how big or small you are, the colour of your skin, what religion you follow, how much money you've got. Once you get out on that field, it's just a great vehicle to bring people together."
Aussie Rules the World screens at selected cinemas nationally from July 22.

If you want to check the marriage records on someone then conducting a marriage background check is a must. In the steps below you'll see exactly how to do that.
Before you start searching, you need to know that birth, marriage and death records are in the group of so called VITAL public records. So, when referring to marriage records you might also find them under the name of 'vital records.' Let's see if we can find those vital records online in the next step.
You can't find marriage records online for free. From exploring the records on many states, what I've found is that every state has its own offices if you want to order marriage records. But you'll have to do that offline not online (and I suppose you guess...that's not free at all). How to find where you can order a record? Simple, use Google. Just write "[name of the state] marriage records" or "[name of the state vital records." For example, "Minnesota Marriage Records." But that's not enough. To filter the results, read the tip in the next step.
Usually when you search you'll get lots of results which will lead you to some paid...untrustworthy sites. To see the official site for that state, look at the URL. Usually you'll see it ending on .us or .gov. So that's how you do it offline. There is a way to do this marriage records search online too. You can see the divorce dates and information like that. It just costs money but it's quite cheap. Read that in the next step.
There are lots of scam companies out there giving false promises to deliver up-to-date public records. Fortunately, there are also some good companies working for years. They have their own representatives going to the state offices for you and requesting the records you need. One of them is US Search (link below if you scroll down and you'll see a text called "Resources") where you can conduct a complete background check on a person and get all the possible records on him.

French chain Carrefour is rethinking all its activities in China and Taiwan, says the Wall Street Journal. The distributor is either going to bring its activities to the exchange in Hong Kong separately, or go into a partnership with a (local) partner. The operation could make the French company about 1 billion dollar (about 750 million euro) richer.
Take with caution
The news should however be taken with the necessary caution: the business paper says theproject is in a very early stage and Carrefour is not yet working with a business bank.
French LSA is also pointing out that the Chinese activities are not officially on display and it says CEO George Plassat said that "major divestments are behind us". To the question whether they were going to divest more assets, he answered: "Will we remain in the same situation everywhere? That is not certain. But I have no need, nor do I want to, monetize any important assets."
Number 4 in China
According to that same source Carrefour wants to use the money from the operation to speed up its expansion on the Chinese market. Euromonitor's stats show that the French giant only has a market share of 6.9% in the vast country: in 2006 that was 9.1% - a trend CEO Plassat wants to turn around as soon as possible.
At the moment Carrefour is the number four in China, with sales of 6.4 billion euro in 2012 (8% of company sales). Market leader, Sun Art Retail Group, is almost twice as big in China, with a market share of 13.6%.

text: I've been reading Peter D Smith's book "Cities - A Guide for the Urban Age" while on holiday. What a great book and the more so as Peter is neither a town planner or an architect. He brings a very refreshing insight to the development of cities over thousands of years and offers many sharp and relevant insights on the development of cities over many years that are stimulating for people like me who care about the quality of urban life and experience, with many lessons from past times that we should not forget. In many ways the reading of this book was like a tour d'horizon of my own reading over the last forty odd years since I started studying town planning at the Glasgow School of Art, bringing back memories of the insights of Kevin Lynch, Jane Jacobs, Lewis Munford, Grady Clay, John Stilgoe, Tony Hiss and Peter Hall. Reading this book has both re-affirmed and rekindled my desire to make a meaningful contribution to making urban places better for the people who live and work there. Buy this book and enjoy the author's erudition and insights and be entertained by his wit.

I'm writing this after the fact, so the whole world knows I didn't die. Let's get that out of the way and ruin the suspense.
Was it pleasant? No. Was it scary? Yes.
At the base of the descent near Leggett, I roll across the bridge over the Eel River, euphoric. Can't see much but there is only one bridge which means only one thing: made it this far. I'd forgotten the little climb out of the river canyon, but no matter.
My foot goes down in the usual spot, near the intersection with the main street if we can call it that. Within sight of Highway 101. I'm throwing technology at the problem by deploying all gear. The reasoning goes like this: if I'm wearing every piece of night riding equipment on the bike - reflective bands and vest and all my lights, front and rear - and if someone still hits me, I did everything humanly possible to avoid it. No regrets.
The spot is next to a little house. I'm rifling through my seat bag when a guy comes out and a truck door slams. After every truck or van encounter since Fort Bragg I've had the same involuntary thought: Garberville? Then a cloud of potent smoke hits me. Never mind; a bike on a narrow highway in the dark beats riding in a truck cab for 20 miles with some impaired yahoo. I'll do my own self-destructing, thank you.
So, the devil weed does not impair people for driving (much). But I really hate the smell. And it's Leggett and wintertime so he's probably been drinking too.
Looking over toward 101, which is noisy with traffic, two big semis steam by right on each other's heels. Well, fuck. Too late now.
Lights blazing, no option but to act like the vehicle that I am and wait for a gap to turn left. To start there is a narrow shoulder, not too bad. It will disappear in places. The plan is to lower my standards for what seems rideable on the right side of the white line, and be scrupulous about that. Slow down if necessary.
When the shoulder disappears, rabbit hard through there. When cars are waiting behind me and headlights are up ahead, if there's no room for passing stop and lean the bike away from the road until everyone is gone. I use this option more than once. There are many vehicles on the road. Really, folks, in the middle of nowhere?
Some people believe cyclists are actually more visible at night, properly equipped, than in daytime. At one point, with a massive a rock wall on my right, I remember running the gauntlet through here on a hazy summer afternoon. Didn't feel safe then, either. It is possible, maybe even likely, that I'm safer with the headlight that makes drivers flick their high beams. And the NiteRider Solas taillight that's painful to look at. We're not good at assessing risk, not when scared.
After nine miles of this, just past Confusion Hill and the new bridge over the gorge, there is an exit for Highway 271. The old road.
Do I take it? You bet.

Married couples who love each other tell each other a thousand things without talking.
Chinese Proverb
Good thing this was written because it so holds true.
Yesterday was our 16th wedding anniversary.
Bill - "Did you buy me a card?"
Me - "No, uhhh, did you buy me one?"
Bill - "No, I just wanted to make sure you didn't buy me one, because then I'd go out and get you one."
Me - "Nope, didn't get you one."
Bill - "Well I could always go in the drawer where all the other anniversary cards are that I bought for you and didn't sign or give to you, to get you one if you want."
Me - "No, that's ok. Love you baby. Happy Anniversary."
Bill - "Happy Anniversary."
So in all seriousness:
I love you Bill. Even when I don't
say it
show it
act it
seem it.
I love you wholly and completely.
And I love you more than chocolate pudding.

The large-scale striped wallpaper is an invigorating background in the tiny bath. There wasn't room for a standard mirror above the sink because of the angle of the walls, so the fanciful peacock mirror is mounted on a side wall. With blue as the dominant color and brown as an accent, the color scheme is a mirror image of the bedroom. This is a surefire trick for decorating adjoining rooms. –Better Homes and Gardens
Do you know where to get that peacock mirror?

Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. For decades, smokers have been urged to quit by chewing gum, taking medications, wearing patches, and, most recently, by using electronic cigarettes. However, e-cigs provide their own set of risks, a fact that some people often learn only after suffering serious injuries.
The legal team at Terry Bryant Accident & Injury Law is concerned about the safety of e-cigarette users. These devices are largely unregulated, and consumers are not always informed about the potential risks that come with these devices or the nicotine liquid used in them. If you have suffered injuries related to e-cigs, we suggest you contact our firm to learn more about your legal options.
The Exploding E-Cig
The batteries used to power most large e-cigarettes are lithium-ion batteries, which you may have seen mentioned in the news as being the cause for fires and explosions. Lithium-ion batteries are used in consumer goods, from cell phones to laptops to e-cigs. When the batteries malfunction, they can quickly overheat and explode, causing anyone holding these devices to suffer serious burns.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified 134 incidents in which an e-cigarette battery exploded, overheated, or caught fire. Over 50 people were injured from these explosions. Experts believe that these types of incidents often go unreported, so it is very likely that the number of e-cig battery explosions is much higher.
A defective battery carries the potential to cause great harm to a user. However, these batteries might be more likely to cause users harm if they are mishandled. This is important because users are often sold these devices without being given the proper handling instructions.
Other Safety Concerns Over E-Cigs
In addition to exploding e-cigarette batteries, there are other safety issues that should alarm consumers. Many e-juices contain nicotine liquid, which can be poisonous if ingested. E-cig users are typically aware of this fact, but children are not. E-juice often has a sweet or candy-like scent and flavor, which could make it tempting for an unsuspecting young person. E-cig users should always keep nicotine liquid stored in a safe place where it is locked away from children.
Another possible concern over e-cigs is the health effects of vaping. We simply don't know the long-term consequences of smoking e-cigarettes because there have been few studies conducted and because the practice of vaping is still relatively new in comparison to smoking traditional tobacco products. In short, there may be fewer health risks in vaping than smoking, but pending more research, there's no way to know for sure how long-term e-cig use may affect users.
A Growing Industry That Needs More Oversight
A recent report found that e-cig use among high schoolers increased by 900% from 2011 to 2015. E-cigs are not only being used by those seeking a nicotine fix, they are also being used by people who were never smokers. As these devices become more popular, we need to do more to protect consumers.
A burn injury costs a victim in many ways. The direct medical costs of a burn injury are roughly $73,532 per one average adult burn victim, but that figure can vary from one patient to another. Those costs do not include indirect costs, such as lost time at work or loss of work capacity. A burn can also lead to disfigurement, which is almost incalculable in the impact it has on a victim.
If you or a loved one has suffered an electronic cigarette-related injury, contact Terry Bryant Accident & Injury Law. We are meeting with e-cig injury victims to determine who was at fault for their injuries so the responsible party can be held accountable. We offer free consultations and earn no fee unless we recover money for you.
To schedule a free consultation with Terry Bryant Accident & Injury Law, contact us today by filling out our online contact form or giving us a call at 1(800) 444-5000 or locally in the Houston area at (713) 973-8888.

I'm enjoying this machine. It's very energy efficient, doesn't take up a lot of space, and was cheap (around $600US). It doesn't need any sort of venting, not even a lint trap attached to a hose.

Beautiful and unique traditional bamboo handicraft of Shizuoka. It is said to have its origin around 1620 when Shizuoka was called "Suruga"
For manufacturing, the bark of the bamboo is removed and then cut into sticks.
Then, bamboo sticks are cut along its grain and split into strings of 0.8 mm thick.
These strings are woven into trays, vases, lantern shades, bird and insect cages, etc. All of them show the very special and delicate beauty in their curves and design.
The craftsmen are so skilled that when they are working, they make it seem so easy to do, but when you stop and really think about it, it's easy to understand why so few people can make these truly works of art!
A certain Haiku poet once wrote:
"I bought an insect cage
And headed for Susono town,
at the foot of Mt. Fuji."
From this we can asume that travelers who passed through Shizuoka often bought bamboo lattice ware as souvenirs.
Shizuoka bamboo lattice wares are bought and used in daily life not only in Japan but over the world.
You can find Shizuoka Bamboo Handicrafts at Kusuyama Store!
The delicate beauty and soft touch of bamboo attracts many people. You can find these products in our Web Store
If you want to see more about Japan, make any questions, leave your comments, share pictures and videos, or just say hello, feel free to join us at our Facebook

Lescol Alternatives

There are many types of cholesterol medicines available. Besides statins, the four other major classes of cholesterol medications are:
- Bile acid sequestrants (Prevalite®, Questran®, Questran Light®, LoCholest®, Colestid®, WelChol®)
- Cholesterol absorption inhibitors (Zetia®)
- Niacin (nicotinic acid, Niaspan®, Niacor®, Nicolar®)
- Fibrates (Lopid®, Tricor®, Antara®, Lipofen®, Triglide®, Lofibra™).
There are also combination medicines available, such as Simcor®, Vytorin®, Advicor®, Caduet®, and Liptruzet™.
For lowering cholesterol, the type of medicine that your doctor recommends will be based on many things, like your cholesterol levels (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides), heart disease risk factors, and other medical conditions you may have. Each of these types of cholesterol medicines work a little differently, so depending on your situation, these possible alternatives for Lescol may or may not make sense for you.

Andrew Keen in The Independent writes about Plastic Logic which announced its plans at last week's TOC conference:
"As the insurrectionary Web 2.0 age fizzles out in a damp climax of superfluous social networking widgets, Plastic Logic might well be Silicon Valley's new thing. This plastic revolution-from-above represents an audacious attempt to finally kill off the already sick print newspaper and magazine. Backed by both British and American venture capital, Plastic Logic, which owns over a hundred patents on its technology, employs three hundred people and is headed by former Hewlett-Packard executive Richard Archuleta. With their R&D facility in Cambridge, their manufacturing centre in Dresden and their sales and marketing HQ in Mountain View, California, the company's unconventional organisation reflects the audacity of its revolutionary plastic e-reader."
I went to visit Plastic Logic's Cambridge base two years ago and was impressed by what I saw, fascinated to hear that, although they could make screens as bendable as paper, market research led them to think the public demanded something more reassuringly safely firm to read from. Perhaps their gizmo when it arrives next year will be the one that takes us beyond comparisons to ipods and paperbacks to focus on what's unique about digital reading.

a damp climax?!
Posted by Chris Meade at 11:51
Labels: ebook
2 comments:
Sounds good. Personally I think something bendy would be nice on the tube, but I can see why solid would be more popular. We really need an e-reader to take off so that we can start doing books as downloads at around the same price as music, then of course short run luxury editions for those who like printed paper. This is the future, not print-on-demand nor the industry as it is now....
