Dr. Perry Kendall
Provincial Health Officer, Province of British Columbia

November 23, 2009
RE: Questions about the H1N1 Pandemic and the H1N1 Influenza Vaccine
Dear Dr. Kendall:
We appreciate the opportunity to submit these important questions to you on behalf of British Columbians. We regret that you were unavailable to appear personally on RoadKill Radio.Com, despite our willingness to accommodate your schedule in any capacity that worked for you or anyone else from your office.
Mr. Groot, Senior Public Affairs Officer for the Ministry of Healthy Living, has assured me during our telephone call that you will answer these questions relating to the H1N1 vaccine so the public can gain a better understanding of the governmental decision-making that has taken place during this so-called "pandemic."
According to your government profile, The Health Act outlines your role as the Provincial Health Officer (PHO). As senior medical health officer for British Columbia (BC), your responsibilities are said to include:
• advising the Minister and senior members of the ministry on health issues in BC and on the need for legislation, policies and practices concerning those issues;
• monitoring the health of the people of BC;
• providing information and analyses on health issues;
• reporting to the public on health issues, the need for legislation, a change of policy, or practice respecting health in BC.
I trust that you are familiar with the Product Information Guide (PIG), a leaflet published by GlaxoSmithKline the manufacturer of the ASO3—Adjuvanted H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Vaccine. On page 2 of the PIG (October 21, 2009) it states:
Health Canada has authorized the sale of Arepanrix H1N1 based on limited testing in humans under the provision of an Interim Order (IO) issued October 13, 2009.
Question 1 – Have you read the Product Information Guide Published by GlaxoSmithKline?
Question 2 – Where in the public record have you advised British Columbians that the testing for this vaccine differs from the usual rigorous standards applied to vaccines, due to the "pandemic" categorization of H1N1 as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO)?
I applaud GlaxoSmithKline for clearly stating in their PIG that testing of this vaccine is in some cases minimal, and in others so deficient that "no clinical data" were available. An example of this is found on page 23 of the PIG concerning dosages for children 6—35 months. It states:
"Children 6-35 months: 0.25mL/dose (NO clinical data are available for influenza vaccines with ASO3 in this age group"
Question 3 – Have you—in keeping with your legislative mandate to "provide information" and to "report"—stated anywhere on the public record GlaxoSmithKline's admission, as quoted above concerning 6-35 month old babies/toddlers, that "no clinical data are available for influenza vaccines with ASO3 in this age group"?
Question 4 – Have you, on the public record, warned parents that their children were being used in an experiment? If so, please provide details of where and when this has been stated or recorded.
Question 5 – Some media personalities (e.g., Christy Clark on CKNW) have called those who may refuse to inject this toxic, experimental concoction into their bodies, and/or their children's bodies, "bad Canadians." Do you agree with her? Or is she being irresponsible?
On page 22 of the PIG there are some assertions that warrant clarification. Under the heading "Interactions with this vaccine" GlaxoSmithKline responsibly states:
"There is no information on the administration of AREPANRIX H1N1 with other vaccines."
Question 6 – Have you—in keeping with your legislative mandate to "provide information" and to "report"—stated anywhere on the public record that there is "no information available" about the interaction of this vaccine with other vaccines?
Question 7 – Have you at any time asserted that the vaccine is safe, knowing that the majority of British Columbians have previously received vaccines and the interactions of these combined compounds have yet to be tested?
The term "pandemic" incites considerable concern and in the past the established criteria warranted such a response.
Question 8: Where in the public record have you enlightened or educated British Columbians about the WHO redefining the criteria of the term "pandemic" in 2003, by eliminating terms that once justified global concerns but now define only a fluid, ill-defined and changeable terminology?
As a Public Health Officer (PHO) you are legislatively mandated to inform and educate. Public confidence in our medical system is in part rooted in the public's ability to trust the PHO.
Informed consent, which I note is required by law and is a right of each individual, is defined by the patient being fully aware of both the risks and potential benefits of any medical procedure. A medical doctor, Dr. Roby Mitchell M.D., has gone very public in the United States in retracting his advice to health care professions to get the H1N1 vaccine citing their right to informed consent. After researching the vaccine, he in good conscience and as a professional, had to advise his patients of the facts and risks of the vaccine.
Question 9 – What are you doing to insure that those who are getting the H1N1 vaccination are making their decision based on informed consent?
The BC Centres for Disease Control has published a guide called ImmunizeBC, a guide supposedly designed to assist individuals in educating themselves about vaccines including the "Pandemic Influenza A/H1N1. I have reviewed this document. Question 7 in ImmunizeBC asks: "Is the vaccine safe?" The response states:
Yes. Vaccine safety is a priority. Clinical trials of the adjuvanted vaccine in adults have been conducted and other trials in other age and risk groups are being done.
All results to date indicate safety of this vaccine. The non-adjuvanted vaccine which can be used in pregnancyand in children under 3 years old is formulated the same way as seasonal vaccines and is expected to have the same safety profile as seasonal vaccine.
Question 10 – In consideration of GlaxoSmithKline's own admissions contained in their own PIG as it relates to the vaccine, do you, in your capacity as PHO believe that the BC Centre for Disease Control is providing factual and accurate information concerning this vaccine?
I refer again to the ImmunizeBC guide. Question 16 in the guide again refers to the safety of the AS03 vaccine. It asks: "Is the AS03 adjuvant safe?" The response asserts:
"The ASO3 adjuvant has been tested in over 45,000 people around the world and has been evaluated by Health Canada as part of the review of the related A/H5N1 avian influenza pre-pandemic vaccine. No safety concerns regarding the use of the adjuvanted vaccine have been seen."
Question 11 – If you agree with this assertion, that this adjuvant is "safe", please detail the test you rely on for determining what is "safe".
According to the GlaxoSmithKline PIG leaflet, several million Canadians could be adversely affected if injected with this vaccine. Under their own classifications:
"Common" (may occur with up to 1 in 10 doses) adverse reactions include: injection site bruising, itching. Then there is also fever, swollen lymph nodes, feeling sick, diarrhea. This means that if 32 million Canadians are vaccinated, 3.2 million are expected to have adverse reactions.
Question 12 – Should Canadians seek medical treatment for these types of reactions?
"Uncommon" adverse effects are projected at a rate of 1 in 100 doses. These include: Dizziness, feeling unwell, unusual weakness, vomiting, stomach pain, uncomfortable feeling in the stomach, belching, inability to sleep, tingling, numbness of hands or feet, shortness of breath, chest pains, rash, itching, pain, stiffness of muscles, muscle spasms. If 32 million Canadians were to be vaccinated, we can expect 320,000 Canadians suffer with these concerning symptoms/complications.
Question 13 – Should Canadians seek medical treatment for these types of reactions and/or symptoms?
"Rare" (may occur in 1 in 1000 doses)—If 32 million Canadians are injected with this vaccine, 32,000 may experience these reactions: Allergic reaction causing dangerous decrease of blood pressure, which if untreated may lead to shock. Other reactions include: Fits, severe stabbing or throbbing pain along nerves, low blood platelet count resulting in bleeding/bruising.
Question 14 – Should Canadians seek medical treatment for these types of reactions?
"Very Rare" 1 in 10,000 doses = 3,200 Canadians. These lucky, hopefully "informed" Canadians can look forward to Vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels which can cause skin rashes, joint pain and kidney problems) and Neurological disorders such as encephalomyelitis (inflammation of the central nervous system), neuritis (inflammation of nerves) and a type of paralysis known a Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS).
Question 15 – Should Canadians seek medical treatment for these types of reactions?
Question 16 – If you answered "Yes" to any of the above scenarios as projected by the vaccine manufacturer, what would the estimated (ball park) costs be to our medical system?
Projected cumulative total of probable adverse reactions if all Canadians are vaccinated: more than six and three-quarter million!—not including deaths from the vaccine (which, in 1976, were reported to be more than the number of deaths from the swine flu itself).
Question 17 — Are people who get the vaccination allowed to drive themselves home, even though these estimates project that more than 3-and-a-half million people will have reactions, a quarter to half of which (e.g, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, etc) would render them dangerous to others on the road?
Question 18 – What is the projected number of illnesses and deaths from H1N1 flu if no one is vaccinated?
I have spoken to a number of British Columbians about the vaccination, they seem to be unaware of GlaxoSmithKline's stated and acknowledged risks associated with the vaccine. Most are shocked and feel betrayed when they read for themselves the truth about this experimental vaccine. Others are angry.
Question 19 – Who in BC is responsible for informing individuals about the known risks associated with this vaccine?
Question 20 – Have you published any statistics associated with the reporting of adverse reactions to the H1N1 vaccination? If so where?
Question 21 – Hypothetically speaking, if a PHO does not fulfill the duty to provide crucial information to the citizenry, thus resulting in thousands of men, women and children ignorantly subjecting themselves to a medical procedure/experiment that the PHO knows (or should know) is unproven and potentially dangerous, in your opinion should he or she:
a. Advise the public of the facts and resign
b. Resign
c. Continue to communicate information that fails to provide the facts, thus knowingly endanger the lives of British Columbians
Question 22 – Do you personally own or have shares in, directly or indirectly, any stock, or other material interest in any pharmaceutical corporation?
Question 23 – Are you as PHO required to disclose any (or any potential) financial conflicts of interest prior to accepting this office?
Thank you for your willingness to answer these questions. On behalf of many Canadians and British Columbians, I look forward to your responses to these important questions, and sharing them with our audience.
Yours sincerely,
Kari Simpson.

PHOENIX — Closer Kenley Jansen gave up a run in the ninth inning Friday night but closed out the Dodgers' 3-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks for his 45th save of the season.
But after the game and again today, Jansen is wearing a brace on his right wrist. Jansen said he has been dealing with "tightness" in his wrist "for awhile" and finally said something to the trainers Saturday night.
"I just got tired of it bothering me when I play catch or after I pitch," Jansen said.
Jansen (who continues to hit 95-96 mph on radar guns) downplayed the issue, joking that he would just back off to 91 mph. He was given anti-inflammatory medication and the wrist brace. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the wrist pain will not affect his usage of Jansen.
"He says when he gets full extension it acts up a little bit," Roberts said. "But he will be available to go. He's not concerned about it."
A free agent at the end of the season, Jansen's save Friday set a new career-high. His 0.66 WHiP is a career-low and his 1.84 ERA is his lowest since his rookie season in 2010.
Meanwhile, catcher Yasmani Grandal has been bothered by a sore right elbow, Roberts said, and is getting the day off.

Question about Apple iPod nano
When I connect my 4gb nano to my computer it will not recognize it so I am unable to do anything with it. I also don't have the disk for it so, I may need help to find a driver.
Posted by Mooshu on
O.K. so I tried your suggestion and the itunes didn't work. I am not sure about the second part of your directions, my OS what do I do to find the info on my OS?
i just got my iPod nano yesterday.I haven't been able to do anything because my computer can't find it.i've tried everything.and itunes cant find my iPod either.What should i do??
In most cases, iPods do not require drivers. Simply open iTunes (a free download can be found at apple.com) and then connect. It should recognize it immediately.
If you have tried this and it still does not work, please post what OS (operating system, i.e., Vista, XP, OSX, etc) you are using and perhaps we can provide more assistance.
Good luck! TJ
Posted on Nov 30, 2008
What about the iTunes did not work? Did it not install or rather, do you have iTunes open and it still refuses to recognize your ipod?
In order to find out your OS, please do the following:
1.) With your left mouse button, click the "Start" button on the bottom left hand corner of your screen.
2.) With the right mouse button, click on "My Computer" when the menu pops up.
3.) Using the left mouse button again, click on "Properties"
4.) A window will pop up with a few tabs. One of these tabs will say "General". Simply respond with the info that is displayed in this tab under the word "System" (it should be something along the lines of Microsoft Windows XP/Home Edition/Version 2002/Service Pack 2)

Generational Conflict, Human Capital Accumulation, and Economic Growth
Worldwide, dependency ratios are forecast to increase dramatically in the next 50 years. A great deal of attention has been devoted to understanding the changes in fiscal policies that "must" take place to accommodate these changes. In contrast, less effort has been concentrated on studying the fiscal shifts that will endogenously result from deographic pressures. An example of particular interest is the degree to which a more elderly population will support public spending for education. We use an overlapping-generations model to investigate the effect of this demographic transition on the endogenous determination of public spending for education. A demographic transition alters the identity of the median voter, leading to a preference for less education spending. If the public sector is inefficiently small, demographic transition exacerbates the underprovision of human capital. Alternatively, such a shift may trim an inefficiently large government, reduce tax rates, and raise capital per worker enough to raise education spending. Thus, there is no automatic link between demographic transition and reduced support for those programs whose benefits are concentrated among the young.

Over at the Adoption Guide's Advice page, I came across a document labeled "Accurate Adoption Language," which links to a PDF entitled "Positive Adoption Language." The fact sheet (reprinted from OURS Magazine, May/June 1992), has a fairly complete listing of preferred language (which it calls "positive") and dispreferred language (called "negative") for talking about adoption.
In general, I like the idea of using "positive adoption language." (Frankly, calling it "accurate adoption language" strikes me as a little pompous and even disingenuous. It suggests that the "truth" about adoption is always positive and never negative. But that's a topic for another post.) In spite of my general inclination to use positive language about adoption, some of the positive-negative pairs strike me as odd. One is the "parent" vs. "adoptive parent" contrast.

text: The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794) by Ann Radcliffe is often held up as the archetypal Gothic novel, and it was extremely popular during the 19th century. The plot concerns the misfortunes which befall its heroine, the orphaned Emily St. Aubert, who is imprisoned in the remote and gloomy castle of Udolpho by her villainous uncle, the scheming Montoni. Udolpho's secret passageways, crumbling turrets and supernatural terrors all colour the governess's impressions of Bly. The Mysteries of Udolpho is best-known today for the spoofing it receives at the hands of Jane Austen in Northanger Abbey (a.1817).

Hexagonal button grids
"Spy shots have been floating around the web of a new honeycomb-style launch screen in Windows Mobile 6.5 (Engadget, PocketNow).
I haven't read anything official about why they chose this design, but I think it's a neat idea. Packing touch regions together in a hexagonal grid is more efficient (space-wise) than a rectangular grid, and it also makes the cells closer to circles, which means they're a better fit for our (roughly circular) fingers. Some of the descriptions I've seen call the honeycomb "finger-friendly," apparently for this reason.
Whether this benefit is provable, I don't know, but it would be interesting to test it experimentally. It probably doesn't make much difference when the regions are large like on this launch screen.
It might make a difference on a soft keyboard -- if you offset the rows you could expand the touch targets to hexagons and thus they'd be a better fit for fingers (to clarify a bit more technically: the Voronoi regions formed by a diamond grid like this are hexagons, ignoring the sides).
The iPhone keyboard offsets the rows (at least the first two), but the BlackBerry Storm doesn't." (Continued via Touch Usability) [Usability Resources]

Hard Drive Head/Arm Failure Data Recovery
Posted on: May 3, 2017
Category: Hard Drive Data Recovery
One thing that sometimes surprises new Data Recoveryclients is that there aren't just a couple of ways for hard drives to fail. In fact, there are literally dozens. One of the worst is referred to as a "head failure," also known as a "head crash." As with any kind of Hard Drive Data Recoveryproblem, there are several potential causes, but these tend to result from physical damage to the drive itself (in other words, the situation where a computer is dropped, for example), which leads the head of the drive to come into contact with the rotating disk area. Head failure cases can be difficult to deal with, but there are two important things to remember: First, you should never attempt to use any broken hard drives, and especially not one with the suspected head crash. That's because, with the disk physically contacting the head, any spinning – like that of a computer starting up – can quickly cause irreversible damage to remaining files and information. And secondly, both full and partial data recovery is possible after a head failure. Although some computer repair stores will tell you that a head crash hard disk is gone forever, the reality is that a trained team using the right equipment can often get the data back. Do you need help with a head failure hard drive recovery project? Get in touch with TTR today, and let us show you we can do.

A covenant marriage is intended by God to be a lifelong relationship exemplifying unconditional love, reconciliation, sexual purity, and growth. A covenant is an eternal commitment with God. People can negotiate out of contracts, but not out of a covenant. The heart of covenant marriage is "the steadfast love of the Lord," which comes from the very heart of God and "never ceases" (Lam. 3:22, RSV).
God intends for marriage to be a lifelong covenant relationship between a man and a woman. When a couple exchanges their wedding vows, they are vowing to God, each other, their families, and their community to remain steadfast in unconditional love, reconciliation, and sexual purity, while purposefully growing in their covenant marriage relationship. It is God's desire to bring wholeness to families through covenant marriage relationships.
Genesis 1:27 says that, "God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. And God blessed them and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over … every living thing that moves on the earth.' " When God "blessed them" in essence He initiated an action and then empowered the man and woman to complete the action. In other words God gave them the gift of a covenant relationship and then equipped them to be successful.
In Gen. 2:18, 22-25 God acknowledged that, "It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.' … And the Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib, which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. And the man said, 'This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.' For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed." In the context of a covenant relationship God provided the ultimate experience in "oneness" through sexual intimacy.
Proverbs 18:22 says, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." How do you perceive your marriage? Men, do you believe God brought your wife to you? Do you consider her a gift from God? Have you considered that when God brought her to you He was expressing His love to you? God was saying, "It is not good that you should be alone so I have made a helper for you as an expression of my love for you and you are to love her as I have loved my bride, the church. You shall readily lay down your life for her, loving her as you love yourself."
When the term "covenant" is used in the Bible it is evident that God is the one who initiates the covenant. God established His covenant with the patriarchs of our faith. God said to Noah, "Behold I myself do establish My covenant with you and with your descendents after you" (Gen. 9:9). God said to Abraham, "I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly … God said, 'As for Me, behold My covenant is with you and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations' "
God is always the giver of the covenant. We are the recipients of the covenant. We choose to accept it and remain obedient to the covenant God has established. The foundation for such a covenant is unconditional love for that is who God is. Our covenant relationship with our spouse should reflect, and in actuality can only be made possible through, God's gift of unconditional love.

BOSTON (AP) -- Loui Eriksson can't help shake the comparisons to Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin.
Eriksson scored three goals and the Boston Bruins beat the slumping Minnesota Wild 4-2 on Thursday night.
Bruins 4, Wild 2
"He isn't the same player as Tyler and he won't ever score 40 or 50 goals," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "But he did get three tonight and when you talk about players you can trust at the end of the game, he is on that list."
Eriksson was acquired as the centerpiece to the trade that sent Seguin to Dallas in the summer of 2013.
"The first year with Boston I got that concussion, so that was not the best timing," Eriksson said. "Last year I felt more comfortable and I tried to build on that so it has been working pretty good."
In his first two years in Boston, Eriksson mustered a combined 84 points while Seguin blossomed with the Stars and finished in the top seven in scoring. Seguin is currently second in NHL scoring, three points behind Patrick Kane.
"Yeah, there has been a lot of talk about that (comparisons) through the years and it is nothing I try to think about," Eriksson said. "He's a great player and playing well, but I'm trying to focus on my game and help the team win."
Eriksson is on pace for a career year with nine goals and 17 points through 18 games. He wrapped up his third career hat trick and his first since December 2009 when he converted a perfect give-and-go from David Krejci early in the third period.
Krejci had two assists as Boston beat the Wild franchise for only the second time on home ice after dropping the first seven matchups.
Minnesota fell to 1-4-3 in its last eight road games.
"I give us credit for the work tonight, but we aren't in the business of looking for consolation points," Wild coach Mike Yeo said.
Jason Zucker scored for Minnesota in the second period. He sustained a lower body injury as time expired and had to be helped off the ice.
Eriksson's first two goals came within a span of 3:44 of the second period and put the Bruins ahead 3-1. He scored the tiebreaker when his pass deflected off the skate off Jason Pominville and went into the net at 7:37.
Eriksson tallied again during a power play when he tipped a pass from Patrice Bergeron past goaltender Devan Dubnyk. Dubnyk made 34 saves and dropped to 0-5 all-time against Boston, giving up an average of over five goals a game.
Jonas Gustavsson made his first start in five games and had 24 saves for Boston. Brad Marchand also scored for Boston.

What Maryland's casinos can learn from Atlantic City's struggles
Maryland's casino industry isn't burdened by the same problems that have befallen Atlantic City. But as the local gaming industry grows, there are a few pitfalls Atlantic City has encountered that the state can avoid.
Just as new casinos are open in Maryland, they're closing in Atlantic City. As many as four casinos in the resort town could close by the end of the summer. Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino was the latest to announce it will close in September. The Atlantic Club Casino Hotel closed in January, and the Showboat Casino Hotel will close next month. Revel could also shutter in August if the resort doesn't find a buyer.
"Atlantic City was really cursed at birth," Frank Fantini, CEO of Fantini Research, said. His firm studies the gaming industry.
From its start as a gaming destination, Atlantic City had to overcome a bad reputation, deal with stringent restrictions on how and where casinos could be built and, more recently, competition from surrounding markets has drawn gamblers away from the seaside destination. Maryland's casino industry doesn't have most of those problems, but it does have competition
"Up till now Maryland has been sending its gamblers out of state to New Jersey and West Virginia," Fantini said. "Now that you've got places in Maryland such as Maryland Live!, those folks are staying home."
As Maryland's casino industry grows with the addition of the Horseshoe Casino Baltimore in August and MGM National Harbor, there are steps the state can take to protect the viability of the gaming industry.
"Those metropolitan areas ought to be able to sustain a very healthy industry," Fantini said. "It should work out well even though Maryland Live! will lose its monopoly and not be quite be as profitable as it is today."
But, he said, Maryland has to be cautious not to raise taxes on the already heavily taxed facilities, and not to change regulations on them. The Illinois casino industry has grappled with those problems, he said. The state also has to be careful not to allow more casino construction.
Furthermore, Fantini said Maryland's casinos should work together to market themselves.
"One of the weaknesses of Atlantic City has been that the casinos there have been competing against each other – which is just the opposite of what you have in Las Vegas," he said. "If those guys bring people into town, everybody is going to benefit."
Maryland's casinos aren't as close to each other as those in Vegas or Atlantic City, but the facilities can still work together to draw in new business. Serious gamblers will likely want to visit more than one of Maryland's casinos, Fantini said.
"Gamblers are like golfers," Fantini said. "Golfers have their home country club or their course they play at, but they love to play at other golf courses elsewhere. Gamblers are the same way."

On the Shore by Michael Hulcher, on Flickr
That's an amazing image, Michael. Love it!
I've used the new (although not the new $7K version just announced) 50 Cron, and it's a great lens. It has a built in, extendable, hood, which is nice. Takes 46mm filters (if memory serves), and renders beautifully. However, I've had this 50 Cron for years, and there is something special about it. It's rock solid, tack sharp, and the bokeh is beautiful. Plus, a good used one can be had for a reasonable price. I saw one about a year ago for $500. My version takes 39mm filters, and it is a twist, rather than tabbed, focus ring. I actually prefer tabbed, but I love this lens so much I've never been willing to replace it.

Technical Tour
Conference attendees have the option of signing up for a Technical Tour, which will take place on Monday, April 11, from 5:45 to 8:00 p.m., after the rest of the conference activities have concluded. Taking part in the tours costs $20, which can be paid during registration; this fee covers the cost of transportation to the tour locations. Participants will leave from the hotel promptly at 5:45 p.m. and will visit all of the laboratories listed below.
Penn Sim Center
|The Penn Medicine Clinical Simulation Center, housed in a 22,000 square foot facility (previously an operating room suite) uses state-of-the-art simulation techniques and technology to provide training to healthcare professionals both at the University of Pennsylvania and in the community aimed at improving clinical education and patient safety.
Expressive and Creative Interaction Technologies (ExCITe) Center
The ExCITe Center was established at Drexel University in 2013, pursues activities at the intersection of three crucial areas for the future: Design, Technology, and Entrepreneurship. Through the ExCITe Center we have a unique opportunity to develop a more cohesive academic ecosystem of learning, exploring, and advancing the application of new knowledge, particularly for the emerging digital creative economy, and to engage in problem solving with stakeholders outside of higher education.
The ExCITe Center facility houses three faculty led research labs:
- Supported by a groundbreaking partnership agreement with Shima Seiki USA, the Shima Seiki Haute Technology Laboratory is a state of the art digital knitting facility to advance wearable technologies. Founding Director Prof. Genevieve Dion leads efforts to explore the development of knitted electronics in textiles through making and prototyping.
- The Music and Entertainment Technologies Laboratory (MET-lab) explores the intersection of technology and creative expression. Founded by Prof. Youngmoo Kim, the lab has developed unique learning programs integrating music technology and robotics and has ongoing collaborations with The Philadelphia Orchestra and Opera Philadelphia.
- The Entrepreneurial Game Studio (EGS) is dedicated to the hands-on learning of game development and coding by supporting student-founded digital game companies. Led by Prof. Frank Lee, the Studio passionately pursues inclusion in computing, leading efforts to broaden participation by girls and underrepresented groups in game design.
Drexel University Laboratory for Biological Systems Analysis
The research in the Laboratory for Biological Systems Analysis applies system level engineering techniques to biological systems with emphasis on:
1) The development of bio-robotic models as tools for investigating hypotheses about biological systems;
2) The use of system identification techniques to evaluate the functional performance of physiological systems under natural behavioral conditions; and
3) The design of systems that are derived from nature and utilize novel technologies, such as electro-active polymers, to achieve superior performance and function.
University of Pennsylvania Haptics Group
The Haptics Group is part of the GRASP Lab at the University of Pennsylvania and is directed by Katherine J. Kuchenbecker, an Associate Professor in the Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics Department. Our research leverages scientific knowledge about the sense of touch to create haptic interfaces that enable a user to interact with virtual objects and distant environments as though they were real and within reach. Our key insight in this endeavor has been that tactile cues, such as high-frequency tool vibrations and the making and breaking of contact, convey rich mechanical information that is necessary to make the interaction feel real, but this type of feedback has rarely been included in haptic simulations and teleoperation systems. We actively collaborate with clinicians in several specialties to refine our research for practical use in medicine and medical training. Our work in haptic feedback for teleoperation led us to realize that autonomous robots can also benefit from attending to the dynamic tactile cues that occur as they manipulate objects in their environment. Our goal is to elevate and formalize our understanding of haptic feedback while simultaneously uncovering new opportunities for its use in interactions between humans, computers, and machines.
GRASP Lab
The General Robotics, Automation, Sensing, and Perception (GRASP) Laboratory is an interdisciplinary academic and research center within the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) at the University of Pennsylvania. Founded in 1979, the GRASP Lab is a premier robotics incubator that fosters collaboration between students, research staff and faculty focusing on fundamental research in vision, perception, control systems, automation, and machine learning. The faculty and students belong to several different SEAS departments, including Computer and Information Science, Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics, and Electrical and Systems Engineering.

Equal matches are only half the story: Why German female graduates earn 27 % less than males
Germany's occupational and sectoral change towards a knowledge-based economy calls for high returns on education. Nevertheless, female graduates are paid much less than their male counterparts. We find an overall unadjusted gender pay gap among German graduates of 27 %. This corresponds to an approximate wage gap of 32.5 % thereof 20,3 % account for different endowments and 12,2 % for different remunerations of characteristics. Suboptimal job matches of females tied in family and partner contexts are supposed to account for at least part of the gendered wage drift. But overeducation does not matter in this regard. Instead, females earn 4 % less because they work on jobs with fewer years of required education. Furthermore, solely males are granted breadwinner wage premiums and only men successfully avoid wage cuts when reducing working hours. We conclude that the price effect of the gap reflects employers' attributions of gender stereotypes, gendered work attitudes as well as noticeable unobserved heterogeneity within and between sexes.

I've been really into Scandal lately and I just started season 3 a couple days ago. I was just watching season 3 episode 4 'Say Hello to My Little Friend' and there was a scene at the end involving Olivia and Jake.
Let me just be clear and say that I love Jacob Ballard. He is my favorite male character on this show and I adore him. It may be because I originally fell for him when he was Henry on Grey's Anatomy, but for whatever reason I will root for him not matter who he is pursuing.
Jake and Olivia's relationship is actually not what this post is about. This post is about this really small gesture that he makes in this scene that really spoke to me. Olivia has recently learned about who her father is and what he is capable of. In this scene, Olivia puts her head in her hands and Jake reaches over and places his hand on her knee and tells her not to cry. She tells him she isn't crying, but trying not to scream. He leans back on the couch and points to chest right where his heart should be and tells her to lay her head there. She looks at him funny and when she sees he isn't kidding, she puts her head there. He then tells her he isn't going anywhere.
That might seem silly or unimportant, but it speaks volumes to me. I am one of the most awkward people and I don't know much about relationships, because I have never been in one. I have my theories as to why that is, but I am also surrounded by my own issues. Some people can accept these issues and love me anyway whereas others cannot.
I'll be honest and say that I really want a man in my life that can accept these issues. Accept that I am not perfect, but awkward, weird, and a bit fragile although I don't like to admit it. I want a man who can sit with me when I am going through something and just invite me to lean on him and he will help hold me afloat. That taking it slow is okay and that he will be there for when I am ready.
I know Jake is just a TV character and this scene was written by a woman, but I really think my thoughtful yet strong man is out there and I am trying to wait patiently for him.
❤ a girl

Nyan Cat: The Apkask#3 Journey APKDownloads: 590 Updated: January 18, 2016 Category : Adventure
by:isTom Games Requires: Android 2.3 and upPrice:free
(Click to Ratings)
Nyan Cat: The Apkask#3 Journey Description
Nyan Cat: The Space Journey is a colorful arcade in which the players must try to guide the mythical flying-rainbow-toast-cat through space, avoiding different obstacles and trying to collect as many coins as possible.
As you collect coins, you can buy upgrades for your Nyan Cat. You can buy different costumes, such as an astronaut suit. There's even a fun devil costume that your Nyan Cat will look adorable in.
The mechanics of Nyan Cat: The Space Journey is slightly different from that of Endless Runner. Instead of having to tilt the screen, or press on the sides of the screen, you'll have to use your finger to guide Nyan Cat. You use your finger to indicate its path, which means you have to always pay attention.
One of the strong points of Nyan Cat: The Space Journey is its colorful graphics, which will bring you through different constellations and galaxies filled with craziness and color.
Get ready for a sugar high. isTom Games' Nyan Cat: The Space Journey loads you up with all the Pop-Tart/feline glucose goodness you can handle.
Collect the otherworldy cake, cheese, and candy as you coast through the rainbow-flavored galaxy. Seriously, as though a breakfast-pastry kitty wasn't enough surrealism, the swirling spectrum of backgrounds combined with the absurd premise will make you feel like you're on an LSD bender. Your catronaut must go from point A to point B without touching any of the dangerous obstacles, including lollipops and mushrooms a-flying. Collect enough coinage to gain access to upgrades galore.
The controls are interesting enough that the gameplay feels fresh in comparison to other vertical runners, and the graphics are actually pretty decent if your retinas don't burn out first. The music, though. The music. I'm well aware that it could be no other than the original, obnoxious Nyan Cat earworm, but I literally couldn't take it for more than 30 seconds. I might not be a cat person.
Editors Notes:Nyan Cat: The Space Journey is a wild, fun adventure that all users will enjoy.

There has been a bit of noise on social media to day about this poster produced by the anti-poverty charity Oxfam:
The Telegraph wrote up the story as "MPs shocked by 'disgraceful' political campaigning". The poster coincides with the publishing, by Oxfam of this report called "Below the Breadline". In it, it discusses poverty in the UK and the rise of food banks. The thing that seems to have irked the Tory Party though is Oxfam having the temerity to link food-bank usage with benefit sanctions, low wages and zero-hour contracts among other things. The Telegraph piece quotes three Tory MPs as criticising Oxfam and reprints a letter of complaint to the Charities Commission from one of the MPs. Conservative columnist for the Times Tim Montgomerie branded the recommendations in Oxfam's report "socialist remedies".
The report's recommendations are in fact rather mild. It calls for an imposition of…

In today's time of economic slowdowns, the stock markets downward spiral and families across America tightening their belts one sector seems to be thriving.
Food is in abundance, housing choices are no problem with new residences popping up every day. Old obstacles are slowly being removed that used to hold this group down clearing the path for population growth and a surge in freedom to pick and choose where and how they'll live..
What sector you ask?
Why the pest populace of course. It seems that all kinds of businesses are feeling the pinch these days and the pest control industry is no exception. Households are cutting back to save money and it seems the bug guy is now on their list. Rats, mice, roaches and fleas now seem to have free run without those pesky ol exterminators around to hinder their pursuit of happiness. Populations of rodents and insects are beginning to explode in the northern states and reports of out of control infestations in other parts of the country are on the rise as well. While commercial establishments still need the pest control company's, home owners have lumped pest services in with the luxury items and so they're doing without.
I suppose homeowners are in the do it yourself mode trying to squeeze every dime they can. Interest in web resources such as this one are on the rise and local 'u kill em' stores seem to be increasing in sales. Most homeowners however, are doing nothing at all. Whether they are procrastinators or the task is to daunting pests are allowed to build up in these homes and soon I'm afraid they'll have no choice but to hire someone or breakdown and "DIY".
It has been said that pest control is a recession proof business. With the way things have been shaping up lately I guess we'll be putting that to the test. In the meantime feel free to glean all the knowledge you can from these articles and 'ask the bug doctor' for any specific details you're not sure about. We'd be delighted if you spread the word about www.pestcemetery.com to your friends who may have needs in this area or suggest a problem for a new article you may want to know more about. As always, if the bugs get out of hand, please call in a pro. More times than not they can do it faster and at less expense while offering at least a service guarantee you can fall back on.

Have you ever met someone who is always going to do something, but never seems to get started? They either claim to be too busy to get to whatever it is, or they live in a perpetual state of procrastination. Are you this person?
Let's do a quick test. Last week, Zig Ziglar shared his 6 Step Formula for Setting Goals, and the first step was to force yourself to sit down and write out your goals. Have you done this yet? Or, is it still something that you're going to do?
Zig would warn you to get started now before you find out that you've been "cooked in the squat." What does that mean? He explains it in this week's featured video.
Zig Ziglar: Setting Goals (part 2 of 3)
The Featured Video this week is an excerpt from a course on setting goals by one of my favorite motivational speakers – Zig Ziglar. Don't be fooled by the dated look of this video. Zig's advice is powerful and timeless.
Selected Highlights from the Video
Listed below are some of the quotes and other information from the video that I found helpful. I hope you find them helpful too.
Getting Cooked in the Squat
"The people who wait for Aunt Matilda to move out, or John to get on the day shift, or the new models to come out, or the new mayor to come in, or for the new advertising campaign to get started … The people who wait on the new senator in Washington, or until inflation slows, or the rate of interest comes down, or the people who wait for changes to take place out there, before they do the changing in here, are flat gonna end up getting cooked in the squat." – Zig Ziglar
Procrastination is a cancer that will eat away at your dreams until it reaches a point where those dreams become unattainable. The danger in putting something off for another day is that we are not guaranteed another day.
Listen to what the Bible says about living in the future.
13Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. (James 4:13-14, King James Version)
Today is the time to start accomplishing your dreams. It's the only time you're guaranteed. Life is too short to be always going to do something. Drop the going and just do it. Successful people don't wait for things to change – they change things.
What dreams are you letting slip away from you? What is it that you're always going to do but never have?

Amazing Grace reaches No 6 in UK film charts
In the few days since it opened at the weekend, the film Amazing Grace has reached number xix in the UK film charts and is still climbing.
The movie, which tells the story of William Wilberforce's 20-year fight to bring an end to the British slave trade, is showing in over 230 cinemas around the UK.
"We're delighted to have made such a solid start," said May-Lynn Chang of film producers Bristol Bay Productions. "We are optimistic that church and school groups over the Easter break will ensure a good run for the film. Indications are that word-of-mouth recommendations for the film are high a vital factor for long-term impact."
William Wilberforce committed his life to awakening the conscience of a nation and ending the dehumanising slave trade in the British Empire. The UK release of the film coincided with the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in the UK.
The film boasts an impressive line-up of leading British actors including Ioan Gruffudd (Wilberforce), Michael Gambon, Albert Finney (who plays John Newton, a reformed slave ship captain and writer of the hymn from which the film derives its title), Benedict Cumberbatch and Rufus Sewell.

How to Cheat at Meditation with Brainwave CD's
If there is one thing that everybody in the world of self-development agrees on it is this:
Meditation is good!
The benefits of meditation are truly enormous:
- Improved memory
- Increased IQ levels
- Greater energy
- Greater relaxation
- Improved mind power
- Self-enlightenment
- Less required sleep
- Heightened creativity
- Better relationships
- and lots more.
Most of us would love to benefit from all of the positives that we know meditation offers but let's be serious… how many of us really have HOURS each day to indulge in a strict meditation schedule?
In the modern world, for good or for bad, people just don't have TIME.
Until now, that is.
Using Brainwave Meditation CD's
Brainwave meditation CD's basically use specially-created sounds. When these sounds are listened to with headphones, they can help to influence your brainwaves – this is a process known as "brainwave entrainment".
These sounds will basically take your brainwave down to a low frequency state which is similar to that achieved after years of meditation practice.
By listening to these CD's every day, you can begin to enjoy the many benefits of meditation – yet without the need for endless years of strict discipline and practice.
Can you actually Cheat at Meditation?
The idea of being able to cheat at meditation is very appealing but the problem is that many brainwave meditation CD's simply don't work.
I have tried a few, including some very expensive ones. Even though the science behind the technology is infallible, the problem is that they use boring-sounding audio recordings and require at least one hour listening a day. Many of them cost a lot of money and they require years of practice.
The fatal error that most of these brainwave entrainment CD's have is that they only employ one mode of brainwave entrainment. For this reason alone, they will not be as effective as one would like, especially after spending so much money.
Where to Go for Quality Brainwave Audio's
We have tried several different products over the years but as of right now we almost exclusively purchase our brainwave audio's from the Unexplainable Store.
We have found their large selection of products as well as the quality and price of the products to really fit our needs.
For more information on binaural beats as well as on the products from the Unexplainable Store please see our binaural beats page.

Certain songs catch your attention the very first time you listen to them. Mostly those songs are like a delicious dish with right amount of ingredients and flavour. "Zihale Miskin" is a kind of song you simply flow along with. If you start counting merits surrounded by this particular song you will surprise to know how many great things are floating there around. Its J. P. Datta's movie "Gulami" with one of the finest star cast of those times. Dharmendra, Naseeruddin Shah, Smita Patil, Muthun Chakravarti, Kulbhushan Kharbanda and sizzling Reen Roy & Anita Raaj. Music composed by the legendary duo Laxmikant Parelal (LP) and lyrics written by none other than maestro Gulzaar. While watching the movie you can figure out that J. P. Datta has certain mastery over capturing desert. You get the feel of those wide screen westerns during desert action. The story deals with the exploitation of the lower caste community. But you don't need to know all this to enjoy "Zihale Miskin". It's a different story altogether! I haven't forgotten Lata Mangeshkar and Shabbir Kumar. I just wish to devote more lines for them while discussing this sweet song.
Gulzar has this unique ability of taking something from classical literature and make amazing out of it. He had already doen in the past with "Dil Dhoondhta Hai" in "Mausam". The line "Dil Dhoodhta Hai, fir wohi, fursat ke raat din" taken from Ghalib. Rest of the song is well known glorious history. This time he picked up from Ameer Khusrau's poem "Zihale Miskin Makun Taghaful". This particular first line of Khusrau's poem is in Persian. Gulzar can play with the words and bring out unusually amazing meaning. Gulzar's first two lines are,
zihaal-e-miskeen mukon ba-ranjish, bahaal-e-hijra bechara dil hai
The meaning of those lines are actually the pray of a broken heart that says "Please don't look at me with hatred my poor soul is still in pain with the separation from my beloved one."
LP's tune gives you the feeling of a folk music and it is rightfully composed for a Banjara or nomadic tribes of Rajasthan desert. Since "Dosti" and "Parasmani" this duo has given innumerable great compositions. This time they have perfectly matched it with the sequence as well as with the wide background of a harsh desert. It's LP's magic that made this tune like an oasis of desert. Lata starts with beautifully intense aalaap and begin with those golden words of Ameer Khusrau. She ofcourse take the charge of whole song from the beginning. You can't help thinking that RafiSaheb should have been there around for this song though Shabbir Kumar has done a pretty good job. I am sure LP had Rafi in their mind while choosing Shabbir Kumar.
The song begins with the wide scenery of a beautiful evening in the desert, surrounded by the temples showing their outlines. The caravan is probably finished its journey for a day and about to rest. Someone starts playing that folk tune on the instrument and the Banjara female simply cannot resist herself. She comes out, hypnotized by the tune move rhythmically almost flowing on the waves of the mesmerizing environment. Soon Mithun joins her with his entire macho aura accompanies her with unbeatable unique dancing style. The song goes on with difficult yet perfectly balanced blend of sensuality, pain, intensity, rhythm and love. Banjaran dancer exhibits the best possible feminine seduction while Anita Raj says a lot with just tears in her eyes. Mithun shows his masculinity not only through dance and other mannerisms but even through the walk.
I love this song because you can enjoy the music and the way it has filmed in the movie. It's uniquely picturised taking every detail into account. Mithun moves his body along with the tribal female simply seems to be choreographed for a fearless, happy go lucky, manly person. Anita Raj look cute in Rajasthani attire and this song took her to the levels where she speaks with the language of eyes. Though the song ends with a happy note where she says "tumhaari palakoN se girke shabanam hamaari aaNkhoN meiN ruk gayi hai (The dew that falling from your eyes (lashes) stays in my eyes), its difficult to forget the pain in her eyes while Mithum solace her saying "tumhaare seene se uThta dhuaaN hamaare dil se guzar raha hai" (Your frustration passes through my heart). Song brings both of them together. Their love flourished with the feel of their pain…….
