Why Stories are Routinely Retold and Facts Frequently Forgotten
The gist of a story can often be more memorable than the precision of a fact.
It's for this reason that we memorize facts and figures –we make an active effort to remember– but we rarely speak of memorizing stories. In health-related communications, stories are often more easily repeated, and can have a longer life and a more lasting effect.
So non-profits, NGOs, and intergovernmental organizations –whether in health or not–, profitably build stories into any appeal for funding or any effort to raise awareness of the organizations and/or their causes.
It's more likely that these stories, and not the facts, are what get repeated in the office, across the dinner table, or talking with friends. Why? Because even though there are no such things as alternative facts, there are alternative and mutable stories. And for the stories, it's perfectly alright if they aren't repeated precisely as originally written or told. Their impact derives from getting and communicating the essence of the story, not the exact wording.
Here's an example: A few years ago, The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria produced a four-page brochure about their work fighting multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in Indonesia.[ 1 ] Here it is in thumbnail form; you can see it full-size here.
I've highlighted in yellow every fact; numbers, dates, names of treatment protocols, etc. As you can see (and as I calculated) those facts represent roughly a third of the entire text. That's a lot to remember –and a lot to mis-remember and get wrong, too. And as these kinds of brochures go, this one is actually on the lighter side factually.
So then, here's the test; which of these will you remember and which will you repeat to others? The story:
In Indonesia, a 15 year-old girl named Ambiya and her mother have patiently taken an hour-long bus ride every day to treat the girl's TB. Initially diagnosed with "standard" TB, she was started on treatment, which involves six months of daily medication. But the treatment failed, as did a second course of treatment. It was only then that it was discovered that Ambiya had an increasingly common form of multidrug-resistant TB. So for the past 18 months, Ambiya has ridden the bus to Persahabatan Hospital every day – almost 550 times – to swallow the 6,000 or so pills needed to cure her multidrug-resistant TB. Treatment for this form of TB can run as long as two years and be as much as 200 times more expensive. To date, Indonesia has been approved for four grants to fight TB, totaling US$ 230 million. With the Global Fund's help, TB diagnosis and treatment has now been expanded to cover the entire country. And Ambiya's treatment will soon come to a successful end.
Or the facts:
In Indonesia, with a population of 242 million people, the prevalence of TB is 280 per 100,000 and the TB mortality rate is 27 per 100,000. Indonesia, the fourth-largest country in the world in terms of population, is ranked fifth highest of the 22 countries considered to be "high burden" by the World Health Organization (WHO), with an estimated 450,000 new cases of TB per year. Of these, approximately 2 percent of new cases and 12 percent of recurring cases are the multidrug-resistant strain. Estimates suggest that the overall TB mortality rate has dropped by close to 50 percent as compared in 1990. Standard TB involves six months of daily treatment; that time increases to as much as two years in instances of the multidrug-resistant strain. Indonesia has been approved for four grants to fight TB, totaling $US 230 million.
Of course it's the story. But even if you or another reader forget the girl's name, the country, the number of pills, the length of the bus ride, the course of the treatment –all of that–, that would be okay, because the essence of the story is simply this:
The Global Fund is curing a form of TB that is increasingly prevalent and notoriously difficult to treat.
Finally, for print work like this brochure, the story should be as accessible as possible. Tell it in pull-quotes, in larger-font introductory paragraphs, and encapsulate it in captions to photographs.
When you make a story easier to remember, you've also make it harder to forget.
[ 1 ] The brochure was designed and produced by the exceptionally talented creative staff at Crabtree + Company, my former employer. You can learn more about them here: www.crabtreecompany.com
You can see a video of Ambiya, narrated by the photographer, John Rae, here:
Rae is a remarkable photographer. His work for non-profits often calls on him to photograph people in poverty, in pain, or in circumstances most of us can barely imagine, and yet he is able to capture their dignity and their essential humanity without being intrusive or moralistic. What he shows is that at their core, these people are really just like us, and that connection is precisely what these NGO's are seeking to make.

Cocktails on the beach are nice but, at times, we prefer a more active holiday -- something that beautiful Squamish, B.C., delivers in spades. With our gear securely loaded into our Chevy Colorado, we recently made the one-hour drive from Vancouver to Canada's outdoor adventure capital for some serious physical fun.
Stay: The Executive Suites Hotel & Resort offers the look and setting of a modern country cabin, with all the comforts of home (i.e., a cool downtown condo). Suites provide plenty of space for gear, plus full kitchens for fuelling up. Best of all, if you need to rent, say a stand-up paddleboard (SUP), the hotel offers them at a rate of just $30 for three hours. Executive Suites Hotel & Resort, 40900 Tantalus Rd., Squamish, 877-815-0048, www.executivesuitessquamish.com.
Climb: The via ferrata at Squamish's Sea to Sky Gondola is perfect for rock-climbing beginners. This brand-new, 60-metre vertical pathway is rated a newbie-friendly one out of 10 in terms of difficulty and includes a set of iron rungs fixed firmly into the rock, which you use as stepping points to work your way up to the summit. www.seatoskygondola.com
Paddle: Learn the basics of SUP--from getting on the board to balancing and turning -- from the experts at Sea to Sky Adventure Company on quiet, clear Brohm Lake or Squamish River. Our Morning Cruise and Coffee ended on a high note, with an excellent cup of joe (our guide, Ian, swore it's the best coffee in town) at Galileo Coffee. www.seatoskyadventurecompany.com
Hike: No visit to Squamish would be complete without a trek up the three-peaked Stawamus Chief. A trio of trails, which include steps, ladders and chain work, take about two hours each to hike, and the 360-degree view of the dreamy green water of Howe Sound once you reach the top is well worth it. www.env.gov.bc.ca
Drink: Getting your carbs after a workout is key, and what better way to replenish your store than with a cold beer? Howe Sound Brewing in downtown Squamish pairs its uniquely local ales with tasty plates; try the New York-style deep-fried cheesecake with berry compote with a malty King Heffy Imperial Hefeweizen. Howe Sound Brewery, 3781 Cleveland Ave., Squamish, 604-892-2603, www.howesound.com

Rev. Jeff Smith
Jeff is a proud Newfoundlander and the son of Bill and Betty Smith. For the first 8 years of his life, Jeff grew up in Dunville, Newfoundland near the American Naval base at Argentia where his parents worked. When the Base closed, the Smith family moved back to St. John's.
Jeff attended High School at Bishop's College in St. John's. Afterwards, he went on to study at Memorial University attaining a B.A. Honours and M.A. in English Literature. During his M.A. program, Jeff felt a "calling" into ministry, having been an active member, board member and choir member for almost a decade in his home congregation, St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. So, for the next 4 years, Jeff studied theology at Knox College in Toronto, part of the Toronto School of Theology at the University of Toronto. During the summers, Jeff finished off his M.A. degree in English and the required thesis. It was a busy 4 years, especially considering that Jeff's thesis was in the realm of Shakespearean studies and there was a lot to read!
Jeff was ordained in 1990 in his home church in Newfoundland. In 1996, Jeff was drawn to the openness and inclusivity of the United Church and in 2000 was admitted to the ministry of the United Church through London Conference.
In the Presbyterian Church, Jeff has served congregations in Manitoba – Winnipeg and Stonewall and in Ontario – Sarnia and Puslinch. In the United Church, Jeff has served congregations in Ontario – Thedford, Sylvan, Sarnia, Waterford, Port Dover and Woodhouse.
Jeff values our ecumenical relationships and retains close connections with friends and colleagues in a variety of denominations. Jeff's parents were members of Gower Street United and St. James United in St. John's. Jeff's grandmother and great Aunt were Presbyterian. Jeff's maternal family are Anglican. In the United States, Jeff's family are Roman Catholic and Lutheran. Jeff has found that the body of Christ is diverse yet wonderful! Over the last 5 years, Jeff has been a member of Inshallah, an ecumenical choir based out of Waterloo Lutheran Seminary, committed to teaching people the songs of the global community.
Jeff has a variety of interests. Music has always been a love of Jeff's and is what drew him into the church and into ministry. Jeff is a pianist and studied in St. John's under Sylvia Lea-Morgan and Carla Furlong. For two years, Jeff took pipe organ lessons at Gower Street United Church. Jeff loves to sing and has been a member of many choirs. He has been a tenor in the Memorial University Festival Choir, The Knox College Choir, The Stonewall Community Choir, Pro Music (St. George) and Inshallah. Jeff loves music of all styles and eras, classical, traditional and contemporary and has too large a collection of music, both sheet and disc! During his time in Sarnia, Jeff took Watercolour lessons and loves to paint. Jeff also loves to read and has an extensive library. He especially enjoys Science Fiction. Jeff loves to watch movies. Jeff enjoys exercising in the gym or hiking a trail or just going for a walk. Jeff also enjoys spending times with his friends and family. Jeff's cousin is a professor at the University of Guelph and Jeff looks forward to going to her girl's hockey games and dance recitals.
Jeff considers himself above all else a "pastor" and enjoys it when the community of faith gathers for worship, fellowship or to help those in our community. Over the years, Jeff has been blessed by the friendships made in the congregations he has served. Jeff has also learned from the life stories and active faith of the many people he has served. Jeff believes that all of us have a ministry, all of us can touch those around us with the love, the acceptance and the compassion of God. Jeff loves the image of the church as the body of Christ, all of us are part of the body, all are valuable, and all are needed. Jeff's favourite passage from Scripture comes from 1 John 4: 16, "God is love and those who abide in love abide in God and God abides in them." Jeff's favourite song comes from More Voices United, "Let us build a house." Jeff especially loves the line, "Let this house proclaim from floor to rafter, all are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place."

Knightscope, Inc., developer of advanced autonomous physical security technologies focused on significantly enhancing US security operations, announced the results of its investigation regarding K5 MIN42 (aka "STEVE") incident on July 17, 2017 at a Washington, DC, office building.
A K5 Autonomous Data Machine (Machine Identification Number 42) was patrolling a local mixed-use development in Washington, D.C. when at approximately 2:13pm EDT the machine veered away from its patrol zone and made an unscheduled stop into a property water feature.
Based on recovered data from the machine's partially damaged "black box" video footage as well as multi-day on-site testing, it has been concluded that there was no foul play and rain was not a factor. The wheel slip algorithm was unable to detect a certain wheel skid caused by the "loose brick surface treatment" at the facility, rendering the cliff identification system not suitable for that instance.
Navigation stack improvements have already been implemented with additional research and development underway to further improve both the wheel slip and cliff detection capabilities as well as adding a new wheel skid detection capability.
Knightscope asserts that developing state-of-the-art autonomous technology must be done in real-world environments. It is not commercially reasonable to be developed in constrained laboratory settings and is grateful for its clients' ongoing understanding and support.
As part of the Knightscope Machine-as-a-Service (MaaS) business model, MIN35 (recently named "Rosie" by the community) replacement machine was on-site within 48 hours, and the client's account credited one month of subscription. The Company's all-inclusive service policy covered maintenance, repair, shipping, and redeployment costs.
MIN42 "STEVE" is in the process of being rebuilt and is tentatively scheduled to patrol, of all places, a major aquarium.Source: knightscope.com

Dell EMC DSS 9000 Rack Scale Infrastructure Announced
Dell EMC has announced the DSS 9000, an open and agile rack scale infrastructure designed to aid carriers and service providers in accelerating the adoption of software-defined data centers and cloud computing initiatives. The DSS 9000 offers organizations compute, storage, networking, power, cooling and open management in a pre-integrated rack with up to 96 nodes--as well as various Intel Xeon processors--to allow for unique builds based on customer needs. Dell EMC claims also that the DSS 9000 will promote a future of composable infrastructure, provisioning and managing at the rack level--and across the entire infrastructure--with a single interface.
The DSS 9000 helps carriers and service providers to keep pace with growing digital workloads and constant increase of data requirements by offering the following benefits:
- Accelerate delivery of new services by provisioning, deploying and managing at the rack level to speed time to value and deliver better total cost of ownership.
- Simplify large scale operations with management based on the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Redfish specification that ensures interoperability with heterogeneous systems.
- Provide greater business agility by disaggregating hardware resources and creating composable systems with Redfish and Intel Rack Scale Design (RSD).
- Future-proof infrastructure with open principles; for example, the DSS 9000 is recognized by the Open Compute Project as OCP-INSPIRED and designed with an open networking approach to support NFV and SDN initiatives.
- Deploy workload-optimized configurations with a variety of rack heights that accommodates full, half and third-width compute and storage sleds as well as other standard server, storage and networking options.
The DSS 9000 with Intel Xeon Scalable for a release in the Americas in the 3rd quarter of Dell EMC's fiscal year 2017, and in other regions worldwide in the 4th quarter (end of January 2018).

Mrs Bainbridge's retro cottage pie
- Place the trimmed ox cheeks in a large bowl or tray and add veg and spices. Cover with the red wine and marinade for 24hrs. Strain the ox cheeks. Place in a frying pan on a high heat, season with salt and seal them off on both sides. Once golden place back into a heavy based pot, repeat the process with the vegetables.
- In a large pan reduce the red wine by 3/4 and pour back over the ox cheeks. Bake off 150g of the spelt flour until golden and add to the ox cheeks. Top up with water (or veal stock) approximately 2-3 ltr, then bring to the boil and cover with tin foil. Place in the oven at 130C/250F/Gas Mark 1/2 for approximately 3-4 hours or until the ox cheeks are tender.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Once cooled place in the fridge over night. The next day remove the ox cheeks from the jellied sauce, portion into sizes of your choice and place into a heavy bottomed dish. Bring the sauce back up to the boil, pass through a sieve and continue to reduce to a rich sauce consistency. Then pour the rich beef sauce back over the ox cheeks and place in the oven at 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4 for 10-20 mins to heat through. When hot, season heavily with white pepper.
- Turn the oven up to 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6. Place a layer of table salt onto an oven tray and add potatoes on top. Score an X lightly on top of the potatoes and place into the oven for 45mins, or until the potatoes are cooked.
- In the meantime, place the cream and milk into a pan and bring to the boil. Once the potatoes are cooked remove from the oven and cool for about 5-10 mins. Scoop out the potato and push through a sieve into a bowl, then slowly mix in the milk a little at a time (if you add it to quickly this is where the mashed potato will turn lumpy). Once all the milk is added, add the butter and mix until smooth (try not to use a machine as this can over work the potatoes and become like wall paper paste!).
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt, white pepper and grated nutmeg. Place back into a pot and cling film making sure the cling film is touching the mash to help not form a skin.
- Using a ring or mould (this could be a piece of piping or pastry cutter) spoon a large spoon of the mashed potatoes into the mould, then add the spinach or greens and place the ox cheek on top. Garnish with the salad leaves and fried shallot rings.
- Remove the mould, add a little extra sauce and serve! This dish is a little upside down - so if you wanted to serve it the other way around, by all means – it's your dinner party.

When Captain Picard Loses Patience With Your Cable Service, You Need To Run A Tighter Ship
from the can't-make-it-so deptAs Time Warner Cable continues to lose subscribers and its CEO and others remain in denial over it, it is perhaps time for those in charge to take deep look at themselves. The reason many people end up cutting the cord is that they are tired of the level of disservice they receive for the massive price they pay. You can do web searches for various cable and satellite companies and you can see story after horror story of people's experiences trying to get television or have their current subscription serviced. This is a serious problem and it never seems to get better.
So it really shouldn't be a surprise to learn even celebrities can't get decent service out of TWC. Many of you probably heard the news about the tweet that Sir Patrick Stewart sent after trying to set up cable in his home.
All I wanted to do was set up a new account with @TWCable_NYC but 36hrs later I've lost the will to live.That is quite the statement. You can even see some of the sympathetic tweets of some of his followers over at Twitter. TWC, for its part, responded to the New York Post with this statement:
There's no doubt we have a lot of fans at the company, of the actor and 'Star Trek' in general. But the truth is, any customer that reaches out to us . . . we're going to offer them help the exact same way.That really isn't all that encouraging. If even Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the man who defeated the Borg, loses the will to live when faced with TWC's customer service, how does it think its everyday customers feel? Could this be part of the reason so many jump ship to either become cord cutters or subscribe to satellite, as was the case with Patrick Stewart?
It is time for TWC and other television services to really reflect on what they are actually doing to attract new customers. As the rising generation becomes a generation of cord-cutters and cord-nevers, they will have a tough time at keeping their place in people's homes if they do not change.

There are actually a number of excellent reasons to make the move from Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365. One of those reasons is that there are some features that are only available in the cloud version of Dynamics 365. Read on to learn about what you're missing out on by sticking with an on-premises implementation of Dynamics AX.
What Features Are Only Available in the Cloud Version of Dynamics 365?
If your firm has a human resources department (which most companies of a certain size do), the cloud version of Dynamics 365 makes more sense to implement than the on-premises Dynamics AX. Dynamics 365 offers a talent module which isn't available in Dynamics AX. With Dynamics 365 for Talent, you can leverage LinkedIn and Office 365 to recruit and bring new candidates on board smoothly. You can use LinkedIn to quickly connect with recruits so you don't waste time searching for the right person for the job. Office 365 makes the onboarding process faster and more intuitive with personalized guides and step-by-step checklists.
Another advantage of using Dynamics 365 is that you can utilize Azure IoT. IoT is no longer a nice-to-have feature – it's becoming a must-have. With all of that data coming in from every conceivable platform, you need a solution that can handle all of that information and route it to line-of-business applications so you can make better business decisions. The combination of Azure IoT and Dynamics 365 lets you do just that.
The third advantage of Dynamics 365 is that it allows you to implement Azure Machine Learning (AML). Machine learning is the act of a computer learning without human intervention. AML will review your data and derive insights from it. What does that look like? AML can actually make suggestions about actions to take based on previous information. For example, you can determine whether a salesperson has won or lost an opportunity. AML can tell you the probability of the salesperson's ability to make a sale, based on the buyer, the budget, the purchase timeframe, and other information.
Finally, users of Microsoft Dynamics 365 benefit from PowerApps. PowerApps allow users to quickly and easily build mobile apps to make processes more efficient and effective using mobile devices. Everyone at your firm can use PowerApps, from business analysts to developers. PowerApps doesn't require coding. Moreover, the platform enables data integration and distribution, and you can build and share apps on any device.
Moving to the cloud isn't a decision to be undertaken lightly. There are many factors to consider – you have to carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages. That being said, there are a number of advantages to implementing the cloud version of Dynamics 365. It has exclusive features that you can't access through the on-premises version of Dynamics AX which can make your company more efficient and productive. That should be top of mind during the decision making process.

From Adrift in the Sound
"The whole world is not like Sebastopol," my college professor Alvin Hunter said as he prepared to school us in the particulars of cultural and physical anthropology. In the darkened auditorium of Santa Rosa Junior College in the 1970s, Hunter proceeded to show us the variety of ways we are human and how we came to be. He opened our eyes to a world of mysteries and magic.
Today, I smile to think of Hunter's claim about Sebastopol. He meant, I think, that the world is not like small-town California. But, his perhaps intentional irony is that the place name he cited—Sebastopol—is a historical vestige of Russian colonization in America at Ft. Ross, now a state park on the Sonoma County coast. The former supply village is west of the charming town where I went to college, not far from the Russian River. Today Sebastopol is known for wine grapes and organic farms, but once served other purposes.
In 1812, the area was unsettled and became an supply point for the outpost of the fur-trading Russian-American Company, based in Alaska, after the area was claimed for the Czar. Perhaps Dr. Hunter's joke is that the world is indeed like tiny Sebastopol–foreign and familiar at the same time, an amalgam of the larger world.
This knowledge explains, in part, my delight in finding Dartmouth anthropologist Sergei Kan's new book, A Russian American Photographer in Tlingit Country: Vincent Soboleff in Alaska. This 288-page photo book from the University of Oklahoma Press offers for the first time more than 100 images taken by amateur photographer Soboleff of Tlingit village life at the turn-of-the-century. The images, archived in the Alaska State Library, capture the everyday lives of Russian and American settlers who lived among the tribal people.
What's of interest to me is Soboleff's documenting the intertwining of these diverse cultures in coastal Killisnoo and Angoon. He photographed the community around him as an insider and also as a journalist. The images are unposed and natural, unlike the photography of his contemporaries. His photographs include the names of his Tlingit subjects, not just labels like "old woman," "boy" or "Indian." He knew and respected his subjects.
I did considerable research into Coastal Salish tribes for my novel, Adrift in the Sound, which includes Native American characters and incorporates traditional tales, from the Tlingit, Lummi and Haida nations. The melding of contemporary culture with historic traditions of Native Americans, which is depicted in Soboleff's images, has been fascinating to me since college days, and is an underlying theme in my book. I remain fascinated with ways culture shifts and is absorbed to create new and larger societies.
Excerpt from Adrift in the Sound. as told by Lummi elder Poland, a life-long friend of main character, Lizette Karlson. The ranch dog, Tucker, has been badly injured in a confrontation with a killer whale that beached itself to grab a seal off the sand. The attack on Orcas Island has left Lizette shaken and Poland takes her to the barn to calm her while visiting new born lambs. They sit and he tells her this story:
Here's a modern story of a young killer whale http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwGT19G-JlE&feature=player_detailpage

Respiratory Institute Overview: Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects the body's exocrine glands, causing them to produce an excess of mucus and other secretions. Exocrine glands are responsible for secreting substances onto body surfaces both internally (such as in the lungs) and externally (such as on the skin). Examples of these secretions include sweat, tears, digestive juices and mucus.
The most characteristic symptom of cystic fibrosis is the excessive production of thick, sticky mucus in the airways. Because the cells lining the airways are not transporting salt and water normally, mucus and other airway secretions become depleted of water and are abnormally thick. This produces a cascade effect of airway obstruction, inflammation and infection, which are the hallmarks of cystic fibrosis.
Since 1990, Cleveland Clinic has been a referral center for cystic fibrosis patients and others needing lung transplantation. Cleveland Clinic lung transplant team is headed by specialized pulmonary physicians including a transplant pulmonologist and lung transplant surgeon, and has the facilities and support to assist cystic fibrosis patients and their families throughout the evaluation, surgery and post-transplant stages.

Sony has launched the Cyber-shot RX10 bridge camera, which has a 20.2 megapixel sensor, full HD video and a bright f/2.8 zoom lens.| Sony Cyber-shot RX10 in Compact Cameras
Sony has launched the Sony Cyber-shot RX10 bridge camera, which it says offers premium performance and portability without the need to carry interchangable lenses.
Sony Cyber-shot RX10 Key Features:
- 20.2 megapixel 1.0-type back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor
- Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* f/2.8 24-200mm (35mm equivalent) zoom
- 8.3x optical zoom lens with Optical SteadyShot
- 1440k dot OLED Tru-Finder electronic viewfinder
- 3inch tilting LCD screen
- New BIONZ X processor with 3x faster processing speed
- Eye-AF focuses on subjects eyes
- Top mounted LCD
- Multi-interface hot-shoe
- Manual controls
- Full HD video, 60p, 25p
- Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity
From Sony: Offering true portability, the new Sony Cyber-shot RX10 delivers superb picture quality, handling and creative features that you would expect from a bigger, bulkier camera system all in one convenient 'bridge style' camera body.
The appealing camera, ideal for DSLR enthusiasts, doesn't compromise on image quality and with its fixed Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 24-200mm (35mm equivalent) f/2.8 lens, it offers superb levels of clarity and resolving power you'd expect from your interchangeable lens collection.
A bright f/2.8 maximum aperture across the full zoom range gives extra brightness you'd expect from your collection of interchangeable prime lenses. As well as letting you shoot in low light without increasing ISO settings, it also allows easy creation of smooth, circular background defocus ('bokeh') effects, enhanced by the 7-blade iris diaphragm. Optical SteadyShot assists clearer, blur-free images when you're shooting handheld – even at longer focal lengths when hand-shake is a challenge for non-stabilised optics.
Comfortable to hold and generously equipped with manual controls, the Cyber-shot RX10 feels instantly familiar to anyone who's handled a DSLR camera. As featured on the acclaimed DSC-RX100 II, the 20.2 effective megapixels (approx.) 1.0-type back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor is around four times bigger than your standard compact camera imager.
Autofocus is speedy and responsive, thanks to the new Direct Drive SSM mechanism that works in conjunction with the Exmor R CMOS sensor and powerful BIONZ X processor. Lock-on AF accurately tracks moving subjects, keeping your target accurately focused even if it disappears momentarily from the frame and then reappears. Newly developed Eye AF ensures crisp portraits with the sitter's eye always in sharp focus, even if they're not looking directly at you. In addition, there's now a choice of three selectable sizes for the spot AF frame. This cuts the risk of accidental focus errors with very small subjects, such as macro close-ups of insects.
Intuitive, ergonomic operation is enhanced by plentiful controls which offer DSLR-style flexibility for advanced users. The aperture ring can be freely switched between two operating modes – click the aperture into place with the ring. Or switch modes for smooth, continuous adjustment without clicks – ideal if you're shooting movies or don't want to disturb your subject.
There's also a total of seven customisable buttons, plus a top-mounted LCD for instant confirmation of exposure and other key settings.
In-built Wi-Fi allows easy one-touch connection with your Xperia™ or NFC-compatible Android smartphone or tablet. Share photos wirelessly on your mobile device, or view them on your HD TV and other home networked devices. Installing PlayMemories Mobile Version 3.0 even lets you use your phone as a handy remote to fire the camera's shutter.
There's a range of compatible accessories from Sony to expand your creative options even further. The LCJ-RXE is a premium jacket case that protects the camera from dust and knocks. Attach the ECM-XYST1M Stereo Microphone via the camera's Multi Interface Shoe™ for crisp dialogue and ambient sounds while you're shooting HD video. Or illuminate your subject with the powerful HVL-F43M flash or battery-powered HVL-LEIR1 Video IR light.
The compact, all-in-one Cyber-shot RX10 digital camera from Sony is available from pre-order now from the Sony UK website and goes on general sale in UK from mid-November.

ON AIR - The Big Drive Home
with Lorraine
Well it's never too early in your career to go on a mad one out of nowhere, as Jaden Smith seems to have just proved by going on a Twitter rant about how kids don't need to stay in school and should just drop out (which is very easy to say when both your parents are multi-millionaires and you grew up in a life of luxury and now have a career of your own at the age of 15).
Jaden went on a rant on Thursday and Friday last week and decided to enlighten the world with his new found knowledge which he probably gained at some elite school for the megabucks-ed.
Whatever they're feeding him in that Scientology camp, they may want to turn down the dosage.

Something special is in the air. And it's not just the holidays.
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about magic. The kind that appears wherever you go and that makes you feel incredibly alive.
I can close my eyes and remember specific moments in time when I truly felt magic. That feeling seemed to escape me for awhile, but something has been waking up in me again. And I just couldn't keep it to myself.
So this week, I'm getting deep into the majesty of life, how to find child-like wonder in everything you do and why when you choose to ignore the greatness of every moment, you're only cheating yourself.

Haven Convention 2017 with Pastor Chris
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is a name that is gaining recognition everywhere. Believers want to follow his works and get to know the man personally. Their congregation has swelled with new members and converts recently. That has encouraged them to host the Haven Convention 2017 for believers. Find out the true meaning of the word of God with the young pastor. His ministry is respected and believed by many across the world over. That has attracted attention from followers throughout the world over too. People are waiting with anticipation for Haven Convention 2017 to unfold. That will be proof that his congregation is something special to behold in person.
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is ready to get people believing all over again. He wants to make Haven Convention 2017 something special for everyone. Get ready to follow his word and the true path to God. Believers will have a reason to attend in big numbers on the right day. Take photographs and discover why people choose Pastor Chris. He hopes that the convention will be a resounding success for everyone involved. That could drive interest in his prayer sessions and other important goals. Religious beliefs are very important to the young pastor in his daily life. Attend the event to get his perspective on why the world needs to believe all over again too.
Christ Embassy is renowned for its global work converting people to the religion. They had a major breakthrough while working throughout the country of Nigeria. People came to the event to see what was in store for believers. But they have branched out to assist believers throughout other countries in Africa. These believers even went to South Africa to convert people to that religion. That has helped raise awareness throughout Africa itself. Afterwards, Chris Oyakhilome went to the UK and Canada to popularize their religion. His followers have even made progress in the USA among people there too. That has resulted in a worldwide following for Chris Oyakhilome and his congregation.
Ministry is his most important goal during any meeting between believers. He wants to educate people on the bible and its message over time. That will cultivate a group of true believers who want to share the word. Haven Convention 2017 is sure to be a resounding success for all involved. People want to show their support in any way they can. Their attendance will boost the enrollment and keep the event going strong. The organizers want to encourage attendance among a growing group of people. They especially want to see young people and families who care about their religious beliefs in person. That will make a strong showing for Haven Convention 2017 in all.
Christ Embassy performs other works as a leading religious group as well. That will contribute to their ongoing legacy unlike any other religion. Pastor Chris hopes that his group will be one of the largest and most influential. Come to the event to help make that happen in person. That could bring together converts to show them why religion is important. Christ Embassy has showcased their works and wants to discuss the miracles they have witness. They understand that God is with them at all times as well. Haven Convention 2017 has the potential to dramatically change the lives of people for the better.

German Prosecutors are Investigating Volkwagen CEO Matthias Müller
Volkswagen (VLKPF) CEO Matthias Müller is facing investigation in connection with the auto giant's emissions-cheating scandal.
Prosecutors in Germany are trying to determine whether Müller, along with other key executives 0n Volkswagen's board, deliberately withheld information about the company's financial liabilities stemming from the scandal over "cheat devices" installed in its diesel-engine cars, Marketwatch reports.
Prosecutors said Müller, along with former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn and current Porsche (PORSCHE-AUTOMOBIL-HOLDING-SE) chairman Hans Dieter Poetsch—all on the management board of Volkswagen and the supervisory board at Porsche at the time—knew that U.S. environmental regulators were looking into the auto maker's diesel-emissions months before the issuance of a public "notice of violation" on Sept. 18, 2015. It is alleged that they did not disclose these inquiries to investors, nor did they disclose possible Volkswagen or Porsche liabilities should the U.S. instigate a formal investigation.
By the time Volkswagen published a warning to its shareholders on Sept. 22 that year, the company's stock value had already plunged 38%, Marketwatch reports.
For more on Volkswagen, watch Fortune's video:
The automakers insist they fulfilled their financial disclosure obligations in a timely fashion and said the prosecutors charge is unfounded, Marketwatch reports, citing a spokesperson for Porsche.
The probe—which will not necessarily result in charges or convictions for any of the executives under investigation—may embolden thousands of investors seeking to claim in excess of $8.9 billion in damages from Volkswagen.

My sweetheart, partner & soulmate, Summer Lindsay Serafin, passed away on 3/18/11 after a tragic accident. She was just 31. I remember her always and everywhere. And here.
Thursday, November 27, 2014
On Thanksgiving...
I'm thinking of you on this cold and snowy Thanksgiving Day in NYC, my sweetheart. On my own. With Christmas coming. The holidays are filled with memories and longing too. I am glad and grateful that I got to spend some of the very best ones with you, my love. Still, I miss you terribly. Someone asked me lately if I had experiences that made me feel you are near me and I told the story about the watch. The watch I had that my mom gave me (and who died just 10 months before you, my darling girl.) Remember how I was wearing it when I was in California with you after Valentines Day and the wristband broke, so I threw it into my laptop bag? And there it sat, forgotten amidst the tragic events. Months later, I came across it, looking for something else and it had stopped because it's self-winding - you have to be wearing it and moving around for it to work. I put it on the mantel behind a bunch of framed pictures of you. And one day sitting on the sofa beneath it, inconsolable, I heard it begin quietly ticking. And it's happened since. Sometimes when it's quiet or I'm terribly sad, I have heard it simply start up. I told that story to the person who asked - a friend. You know him too, my sweetheart. And he said he thinks our loved ones, our beloved, like you, are definitely around. "Oh, they're still here," he said, "and, actually, not that far away". I like that idea. Always be with me, Summer. Don't go too far away. With all my love... m

Evidence-based zealots, robotic clinicians, animated youtube videos of physical therapists turning patients away due to lack of support from randomized controlled trials — There are numerous examples, said in different ways, but ultimately the message is the same. Physical therapists, in hopes of being evidence-based, become handcuffed by research and in doing so lose their ability to empathize and stymy their flexibility in clinical reasoning.
This idea, the worship of randomized controlled trials, a blinding of clinical practice by devout adherence to evidence, can be thought of as scientism: "An exaggerated trust in the efficacy of the methods of natural science applied to all areas of investigation." Massimo Piuglucci provides a good primer on scientism, its pitfalls, and several popular figures who display characteristics of scientism here — The Problem with Scientism
But, does physical therapy have a problem with scientism? Does the profession have a meaningful contingent that rejects philosophy, the humanities, clinical experience, other other forms of inquiry outright? I've touched on this idea before, the notion of being "too evidenced-based" and clearly I think the answer is no. Research looking at physical therapists adherence to clinical practice guidelines seems to support this:
Simmonds et al found that only 12% (13 PTs) of the 108 PTs surveyed were able to identify clinical practice guidelines for LBP
In clinicians who were board certified in orthopedics and fellowship trained, a little over half (55%) were adherent to all clinical practice guidelines (Ladeira et al)
Joshua Zadro presented data that only about 35% of physiotherapy can be considered high value (defined as treating according to guidelines or providing at least one intervention recommended in guidelines or shown to be effective in a systematic review)
Physical therapy as a profession seems to struggle with following published guidelines. With this in mind, it seems that finding a clinician who rigidly treats in accordance with randomized controlled trials is fairly unlikely. Why then, if you read any twitter debate about the effectiveness of one treatment or another, is it inevitable that you find someone making the strawman argument of physical therapists of being blinded by evidence? Well, it's complex, but largely it seems to be an artifact of human reasoning.
Most people are familiar with confirmation bias, or as Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber prefer it, myside bias. This is the idea that people are more likely to seek out and be more agreeable to information that conforms to a prior opinion or belief. As Kolbert writes "Presented with someone else's argument, we're quite adept at spotting the weaknesses. Almost invariably, the positions we're blind about are our own."
Myside bias can be seen regularly in debates on physical therapy interventions. It is highly unlikely that someone will be called out for being an evidence-based zealot while highlighting trials that portray an intervention or the profession in a positive light. In other words, you'll rarely get a disparaging tweet for being too evidence-based when presenting research that strength training reduces the risk of falls in an aging population.
This is because most of the time, positive trials are attractive to physical therapists. They validate the profession's worth, they appeal to the clinician's desire to help, and people are far more likely to recall their positive clinical experiences than their negative ones. So often, these positive trials coincide well with people's previously held beliefs.
The strawman idea of scientism in physical therapy only comes about when negative evidence is presented regarding a cherished intervention. Look no further than a debate on manual therapy, dry needling, or any other contentious modality for examples of this. When negative evidence for a treatment is introduced to someone with strong beliefs to the contrary, this sets off a few alarms and creates significant cognitive dissonance for several reasons.
Often times, physical therapists identify themselves with particular interventions used. This can be seen in the popular manual therapist title or the proud letters displayed after someone's name after the completion of a particular course. With this identity comes a sense of community, as people begin to associate with other self-identified manual therapists or any other clinical group.
Even further, clinicians want to help those seeking their care. They might see certain treatments work in the clinic, and then a few trials come along that contradict this. Due to that fact clinicians can sometimes calibrate their professional self-worth by their clinical success, this refutation of their experience can be difficult to reconcile.
So when a negative trial is shown that challenges beliefs, contradicts experience, and threatens identity, it is no wonder that people are more likely to double down on their beliefs and be highly averse to contradictory evidence, often with an eye-roll and a tweet about evidence-based zealots.
A few things are clear though,
Physical therapists (and healthcare providers in general) do not seem to blindly adhere to evidence, follow clinical practice guidelines religiously, or even show a solid understanding of what evidence-based practice is. At least in no way to the extent where scientism can be identified as significant problem in physical therapy writ large.
Over-treatment in healthcare, however, is very much a problem, with the costs of musculoskeletal related pain and disability continuing to climb. Evidence based practice gives us the best chance at knowing, on average, what works, and what does not, for individuals seeking care. Ineffective conservative care does not exist in a vacuum and providing less invasive and less risky, but equally ineffective treatments does not do anyone any favors.
And, unfortunately, many interventions directed towards addressing musculoskeletal pain and disability are underwhelming or do not work at all. This is true for both conservative interventions available to physical therapists, and more risky and costly interventions available to medical and surgical colleagues. So, it should not be a surprise when our favorite intervention fails to show a meaningful result in a published trial. Rather, as Archie Cochrane wrote, "[O]ne should...be delightfully surprised when any treatment at all is effective, and always assume that a treatment is ineffective unless there is evidence to the contrary."
Physical therapists (and healthcare professionals, in general) would do well to develop a culture that accepts being wrong as something that is okay. Medical knowledge is constantly evolving and being wrong presents an opportunity to be better. Disassociating identities from interventions can limit averseness to being wrong, promote agility in clinical practice, and improve the ability to abandon ineffective practices and adopt more sound practices. Improving understanding and application of evidence-based practice (and yes, this understanding should include the limitations of evidence-based practice) will elevate the profession and better meet the needs of those who seek the care of a physical therapist. There are numerous problems in physical therapy that are worth discussing and addressing, scientism, however, does not seem to be one of them.

We are offering lifestyle and weight loss advice in conjunction with a lifestyle advisor who will be based at one of the three practices each week. You will be able to access an appointment at any of the three practices. Please speak to a member of staff for more details.
As well as ensuring the best health services are available when you need them, we want to help you work towards achieving a healthy lifestyle.
A healthy lifestyle can help prevent you from developing long-term conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. You can help yourself to keep in good health by eating healthily, keeping active, drinking sensibly, stopping smoking, and managing your stress levels.
A range of options are available to support people with weight loss.
One suitable option would be to see the lifestyle advisor who will be able to offer advice on healthy eating, weight management and getting physically active.
Many doctors now believe that when it comes to your health, your waist measurement is important.
While knowing your body mass index (BMI) is a good way to decide if you're overweight, it doesn't tell the whole story.
BMI is a measure of how healthy your weight is for your height. You can work out what your BMI is by using the NHS Choices BMI healthy weight calculator.
If you have a high BMI, you're likely to be carrying extra fat. But your health could be at greater risk depending on where you store that fat.
Having a large amount of tummy fat (compared to fat around your bottom or thighs) makes you more likely to develop diabetes and heart problems.
A healthy waist circumference for men is less than 94cm (37 inches), and for women it's less than 80cm (32 inches).
Losing weight and keeping it off isn't easy, but it has many benefits. You may only need to make small changes to your lifestyle to maintain a healthy weight.

As over half the world's population now lives in an urban environment, including the vast majority who will read this, learning to make the most of city running matters. We may dream of flying through trails in idyllic woodlands but why not make running your city block just as rewarding and nourishing?
Watch your step
When running along a trail, my attention goes automatically to my feet. On an uneven path, sensing the ground's idiosyncrasies – its bumps, stones and divots – is essentially a matter of safety. On this terrain, the risk of twisting an ankle or falling are much higher.
It is one of the aspects that I incorporate actively into city running, where the flat surfaces can negate the need to be so aware. By choosing to use this focus, however, I get to feel the thrill of the push of each step, sense the small changes in terrain and understand better how much impact my legs are accommodating. This last point is important: running on hard surfaces increases impact so recognising it helps us to learn how to deal with it.
Run light
Without the need to push off strongly from soft ground, running in the city allows us to practice running feather light. This is helped by a number of simple changes we can make. Firstly, take more and smaller steps to spread the load of each step – by lunging further, our body weight arrives heavier on our standing leg and increases impact on it. By taking smaller steps it almost feels like we're paddling across the ground!
Further to this, focus on the uplift of the leg behind, as if gently kicking up flower petals or autumn leaves. It should feel effortless and smooth and will help prepare the leg to easily swing through for the next step.
Run / don't run
A frustration of city running can be traffic lights and crossings interrupting the continuity of your run. There are two ways to deal with this: plan a route which avoids major road crossings, or use the regular breaks to your advantage.
Interval training is a training where you alter the intensity of your run in intervals and has benefits for the aerobic and anaerobic systems. The stop / go nature of city running can act as simple intervals in your run, allowing short bursts of faster activity which benefit how you're working and create variety in your experience. The occasional sprint also does wonders to refresh your spirit, adding urgency and exhilaration to your running!
Join the crowds
Crowds can be seen as either another obstacle or an opportunity. To use the crowd positively, try running through it as a simple obstacle course: taking the chance to vary the direction of your step, staying responsive to changes of direction and enjoying the unpredictability this builds into your running.
A crowd is also a chance to feel your full-bodied awareness as you duck to dodge umbrellas and twist to miss approaching shoulders! This will help you become aware of your whole body and stop the dreaded inward daze that can happen when we run, leaving us unaware of most of our body.
City running can be a useful environment for learning to run and offers training variety, if we look positively how to use it. So go and visit your local streets and make the most of your city running.

Measuring network characteristics using JavaScript*
While building boomerang – a JavaScript based real user performance measurement tool – we learnt a lot about how to measure things using just JavaScript. Not just events and objects within a web page, but also several network charactersitics like latency, network throughput, dns lookup time and more. These come in handy when measuring exactly what your web users experience without getting them to install an application with administrative level privileges.
In this talk, I'll go over the different numbers that we can determine and how we go about it.
