E-mail: email@example.com
I began my studies at the University of Sheffield in September 2004 on the BA Economics and Politics Programme. Following a year in the charity sector I returned to the University of Sheffield in September 2008 to accept an MRC/ESRC/NIHR studentship to study for an MSc in Economics and Health Economics. My MSc Dissertation focussed on estimating the impact of attitudes towards health on smoking behaviours.
In November 2009 I was appointed Research Associate in Economic Evaluation at the University of Manchester, working on the economic evaluation of an innovative genetic testing strategy for hereditary breast cancer. In the summer of 2010 I was awarded an ESRC scholarship to study for a PhD in Health Economics at ScHARR. I began research for the PhD in October 2010.
My doctoral research is focussed on modelling the interactions between smoking behaviour and alcohol behaviour using decision modelling theory and econometric applications.
Research interests
My research interests include the economics of smoking and alcohol, decision modelling theory and the economic evaluation of genetic tests.
Professional activities
I am a member of the Health Economics Study Group.

SAINT PATRICK'S OLD CATHEDRAL, the original Saint Patrick's in New York, was designed in 1809-1815 by architect Joseph Francois Mangrin, who also designed City Hall. Saint Patrick's Old Cathedral is the oldest Roman Catholic church in the City. It is located in the East Village between Mott and Mulberry Streets. This neighborhood was so wild when the Cathedral was first built that foxes were often caught inside. The interior shots of the baptism scene in The Godfather were filmed at Old Saint Patrick's.
In 1879 the new SAINT PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL (bottom photo) was dedicated (at Fifth Avenue between 50th & 51st Streets). Construction of the cathedral took longer than first planned partially because it was interrupted during the Civil War. The cathedral's spires were not finished until 1888. The new St. Patrick's design is a Gothic-style by James Renwick, Jr., who was influenced by the design of the Cologne Cathedral, one of Europe's most beautiful. It is the largest Catholic cathedral in America.

ABCC9-related Intellectual disability Myopathy Syndrome is a K(ATP) channelopathy with loss-of-function mutations in ABCC9.
Significant gene-based association between the ABCC9 gene and hippocampal sclerosis-aging appeared to be driven by a region in which a significant haplotype-based association.
ABCC9 gene has been associated with Dilated Cardiomyopathy. 3 pathogenic variants have been associated with DCM: 1 missense -CM1410876-, 1 nonsense -CM040975-, and 1 small indel -CX041212.
Analysis of three Cantu syndrome-associated gain of function mutations indicates that all lead to overactive K(ATP) channels, but at least two mechanisms underlie the observed gain of function: decreased ATP inhibition and enhanced MgADP activation.
The patient reported here gives further evidence that these syndromes are an expression of the ABCC9-related disorders, ranging from hypertrichosis and acromegaloid facies to the severe end of Cantu syndrome.
ABCC9 polymorphism associated with Brain disorders: sleep problems. depression and HS-Aging.
single amino acid difference can account for the markedly different diazoxide sensitivities between channels containing either the SUR1 or SUR2A subunit isoforms.
We describe novel ABCC9 variants in human brain, corresponding to altered 3'UTR length, which could lead to targeting by miR-30c
Results show that a polymorphism in ABCC9 is associated with aging pathology, and exposure to sulfonylurea drugs is associated with increased risk for aging pathology among individuals who died age 85 and older
This study confirmed that specific ABCC9 single-nucleotide polymorphisms is associated with HS-Aging pathology in the Alzheimer disease.
ABCC9 is a susceptibility gene for early repolarization syndrome and Brugada syndrome.
A mutation (V734I) in ABCC9 increases susceptibility to coronary spasm and acute myocardial infarction.
two different de novo missense mutations in the two patients with coarse facial features and hypertrichosis
This study showed that variants in the SUR2 gene (ABCC9) associate with epidemiological variation in human sleep duration, which is also influenced by inter-individual differences in seasonal adaptation and chronotype.
Electrophysiological experiments show that mutations in ABCC9, associated with Cantu syndrome, reduce the ATP-mediated potassium channel inhibition, resulting in channel opening.
Cantu syndrome is caused by mutations in ABCC9
mammalian oocytes express K(ATP) channels. Real-time PCR revealed that mRNA for Kir6.1, Kir6.2, SUR2A and SUR2B, were present in human oocytes of different stages.
sequence variants in ABCC9 is unlikely to contribute to variation in postural change in systolic blood pressure
These findings suggest that abnormal localization of the SUR2A K(+) channel protein leads to reduced K(ATP) channel activity in familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis.
Assembly limits the pharmacological complexity of ATP-sensitive potassium channels
Results describe a new function of the Kir6.1-SUR2A complex, namely the regulation of paracellular permeability through tight junctions.
Kir6.1/SUR2B is the major functional K(ATP) channel complex in the pig MMA and MCA, and mRNA expression studies suggest that the human MMA shares this K(ATP) channel subunit profile
Cardiac SUR2A levels were significantly increased while Kir6.2 levels were not affected. Hypoxia did not induce phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2) or protein kinase B (Akt), but triggered phosphorylation of AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK). AICAR, an activator of AMPK, increased the level of SUR2A in H9c2 cells. We conclude that oxygen increases SUR2A level by activating AMPK.
K(ATP) channels seem to play an essential role in murine myometrial motility via activation of SUR2B and Kir6.2
Data show that PI3K/Akt signalling pathway and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) play a crucial role in increase of cardiac ATP-binding cassette transporter sub-family C member 9 (SUR2A) induced by in vivo exposure to 18% oxygen.
Sulfhydration of SUR2B subunit modifies tyrosine nitration of Kir6.1 subunit within the KATP channel complex.
ATP-sensitive potassium currents from channels formed by Kir6 and a modified cardiac mitochondrial SUR2 variant
In the absence of Abcc9, the newborn heart fails to transition normally from fetal to mature myocardial metabolism.
Native K(ATP) channels in mouse vas deferens myocytes are a heterocomplex of K(IR)6.1 channels and SUR2B subunits.
The results confirm that Kir6.2 contributes to APD shortening in both atria and ventricle during metabolic stress, and that SUR1 is required for atrial APD shortening while SUR2A is required for ventricular APD shortening.
the role of CpG methylation in regulating SUR1 and SUR2 expression
Report unique properties of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel in the mouse ventricular cardiac conduction system.
Syntaxin-1A inhibits KATP channels by interacting with specific conserved motifs within sulfonylurea receptor 2A.
Results suggest that oral nicotinamide is a regulator of SUR2A expression and has a potential as a drug that can improve physical endurance in conditions where this effect would be desirable.
Cardioprotection observed in the SUR2m mice is associated with a protected mitochondrial phenotype resulting from enhanced K(+) conductance that partially dissipated mitochondrial membrane potential.
Our present study reinforces a role for the full-length SUR2 protein in cardioprotection.
Transgenic mice with a sole increase in SUR2A expression had also increased cardiac resistance to ischaemia-reperfusion.
results imply that specific activation domains stimulate transcription by binding to distinct Mediator subunits; activation by E1A and Elk-1 requires recruitment of Mediator to a promoter by binding to its Sur2 subunit [sur2]
The intermittent coronary artery vasospasm seen in Sur2(-/-) mice provides a model for the human disorder Prinzmetal variant angina and demonstrates that the SUR2 K(ATP) channel is a critical regulator of episodic vasomotor activity.
Kir 6.1 gene expression was upregulated by almost 22-fold, whereas SUR2B was downregulated by threefold after inflammation. Decreased motility of colon during inflammation may be associated with changes in transcriptional regulation of Kir 6.1 and SUR2B.
The dimerization induces the opening of the KATP channel, probably by causing a conformational change of SUR2x.
results support the hypothesis that the mouse adenovirus type 1 (MAV-1) E1A-mSur2 interaction is important in MAV-1 replication in mice
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MRP subfamily which is involved in multi-drug resistance. This protein is thought to form ATP-sensitive potassium channels in cardiac, skeletal, and vascular and non-vascular smooth muscle. Protein structure suggests a role as the drug-binding channel-modulating subunit of the extra-pancreatic ATP-sensitive potassium channels. Mutations in this gene are associated with cardiomyopathy dilated type 1O. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

2 Things to Master: Discomfort and Uncertainty
When alone, we tend to think of ourselves and our consciousness rises. At some point in time, inevitably, we are tempted to ask ourselves about what could happen in the future and what we could do about it.
Sometimes we are often caught with situations when we are compelled to act accordingly without knowing what to do. And playing safe or doing nothing seems to be the best thing to do. Unfortunately, not.
Unless we break out in our comfort zone, nothing seems worthwhile. We always hear about it. And it's always true. It always takes courage and guts to do something extraordinary. There is nothing worth achieving comes easy without doing something. There is no "something for nothing".
It is my goal to reach my peak potential or at least utilize 90% of my skills and talents what God has endowed me. Else I would rut full of regrets not using my full capacity. Inefficient human being - has impeccable skills and potential yet unused. I don't want to be one.
Upon introspection, I found out a bunch of things to develop for me to reach my peak potential. On a deeper thought, I came up with a simplified goal and that there are 2 things to master: Discomfort and Uncertainty.
Individuals who outshine other people whether in business, show business or sports all have one thing in common: they are masters of handling discomfort and uncertainty.
1st Thing to Master - Discomfort
What is discomfort? It is an emotion/feeling where a person feels dull, uneasy or awkward towards a situation or a stimuli. Some of the examples are men wearing 5 inches heels, talking to strangers, fear of heights, managing people with different values, starting a business and so on. Discomfort comes either physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually.
The reason why you need to be a master of discomfort is because all great things in life don't come easily. Thomas Edison failed more than a thousand experiments before he successfully invented the light bulb.
If one experiment lasts 2 hours, that translates to more than 2,000 hours of failed experiments. The discomfort - failure. Edison had mastered the discomfort of having failed many times. His determination and patience are great enough than failure.
If one experiment lasts 2 hours, that translates to more than 2,000 hours of failed experiments. The discomfort - failure. Edison had mastered the discomfort of having failed many times. His determination and patience are great enough than failure.
Me however, managed the discomfort of being sleep-derived when I was in college. I came home 11:00 PM every night and studied until 12:00 AM for assignments and lessons. And it paid off. That laurel would have been not possible had I complained and escaped the discomfort of sleeping late and drowsy in school.
2nd Thing to Master - Uncertainty
Nobody knows the future yet we dread about it. Or is the future really important to be planned? No one should be afraid of the future. It will come, inevitably, and we just have to prepare.
Uncertainty is the state of being unclear, vague or indefinite of what will happen or take place to an action or stimuli. In other words it means "no idea of what will happen."
One of the greatest fears, perhaps, is the fear of the unknown. It's like diving on the cliff without knowing the depth of the water. The uncertainty of what will happen cripples us to decide - to go or not to go, because we often think for the worst, not for the good. Thus, it all lies to mind conditioning.
Why master uncertainty? Opportunities come once in a while. The fear of uncertainty causes indecision and paralysis, which leads to inaction. If humans always bind to uncertainty, there would have been no Apple, Facebook and Twitter.
To master uncertainty, we must have an optimistic mind and be bold enough to face the consequences of our decisions (and actions) whether good or bad.

BTCWIN Limited REVIEW – Dangerous HYIP SCAM Update!
BTCWIN Limited Review – Must know!
Read this important updated review pertaining to BTCWIN Limited, a fairly new online investing Scam proving dangerous for anyone getting involved with their 'financial plans". As with any money-making system we're presented with, we thoroughly investigate inside & out their integrity and method of operations. To my dismay, several scamming variables were identified within the BTCWIN Limited scam software, and traders need to understand the overall deception saturating their BTCwin.cc website. Everything from the alleged founders of this bogus establishment and even grammatical errors indicate lack of professionalism, and we'll discuss these factors more in-depth within the following BTCWIN Limited review.
BTCWIN Limited Review – SCAM Corporation Exposed!
Beginning with the company itself is an intelligent avenue for determining its level of legitimacy. Visitors entering BTCwin.cc are fronted with false statements labeling B.W. among the "most stable and profitable business companies in the crypto-currency field". For safety measures we searched online for outside information confirming their standings, in which zero credible findings were found supporting their self-proclaimed reputation. The only references to BTCWIN Limited are derived from other websites already connected in endorsing this awful scam. Google does NOT recognized their existence, which beckons further suspicions since their platform clearly displays they're a registered company since 2012. According to Who.Is lookup, the BTCwin.cc domain was submitted only four months prior to posting this review. Thereby establishing we're dealing with a non-existing corporation without validity or credibility. Readers needn't take our word for it, search online and you'll stumble upon the same conclusion. Clarifying their stated company is a total fabrication by scammers is alarming on its own and should be taken into consideration before depositing funds. Lets review more disturbing facts!
Proof of Forgery: Johney – https://www.google.com/search?tbs Patrick – https://www.google.com/search
If a certain software or money-profiting opportunity is based on false premises, their entire reputation completely crumbles. Johney Gram and Patrick Meyer are the poster faces representing the BTCWIN scam application. Johney poses as Chief Executive Officer responsible for daily management teams, as well as development of funding market and services to meet cash managerial needs of B.W. clients. Patrick, Chief Operator has more than "five years of experience in technology management and database administration", on top of being a "talented software architect". Their titles and descriptions sound impressive, but don't be fooled!! Both images represented as Patrick Meyer & Johney Gram are stolen stock images utilized in various other websites under different profiles too. Honestly we're not the least bit shocked since their company itself is a fraud!
Fraudulent programs are purposely constructed for deception and manipulation towards potential customers searching for a probable investing possibility. Every single trading scam software we've exposed to the general public never disclose valid identities belonging to the real developers, since their main agenda is advertising false attributes of generating sizeable profits, followed by losing your investments and profiting from your losses. Fake companies and plagiarized profiles are clear red flag warnings foreshadowing upcoming dangers, and a common scamming characteristic adopted by most money-stealing schemes. Obviously BTCWIN Limited was not founded by groups of experienced traders whose objective is profiting through crypto-currency trading. On the contrary this whole elaborated system is a fabrication constructed by scam-artists without regard for the damaging consequences produced by their BTCWIN trading scam.
Alluring BTCWIN Limited Traps!
Certain trading plans are displayed on their home page to further entice traders into depositing money before realizing they're being scammed in the first place. There investment packages also seem to accommodate all types of entrance fees depending on how much traders can afford. However their approach is subtly crafty in convincing the more traders deposit, the bigger their returned investments will become. Unfortunately its come to our attention from several traders informing none of their deposited investments produced a single profit, and worst of all, complete money loss. Apparently any funds put into BTCWIN Limited accounts are used to pay off members within their inner circles. Basically this is how these scammers bank their profits! A ponzi scheme funnel for taking advantage of rookie investors at trader's expense, allowing these crooks to run away with your money.
Hopefully our insightful BTCWIN Limited review has opened your eyes and made you a bit more aware the inevitable risks lurking beneath this destructive scam software. "Transparency and mutual partnerships" are said for being targeted values within BTCwin.cc, yet the evidence we've provided today speaks volumes indicating the complete opposite. Grammar errors were spotted withing their campaign, misspelling "Johney's" name on his profile, and various other areas throughout their site. Needless to say the absence of authenticity combined with their disregards to small details completely destroys any confidence I have toward BTCWIN software, and definitely don't feel comfortable in handing my money to a shady corporation who cant even spell simple words! I'm sure at this junction of our review, traders agree this trading software is utterly worthless!
BTCWIN Limited SCAM REVIEW – Additional Thoughts & Helpful Tips!
Final Verdict: BTCWIN Limited is most certainly an HYIP SCAM!
(Most Trusted & Approved by the Trading Community)
A High Yielding Investment Program (HYIP) like BTCWIN Limited, aka B.W. are no trustworthy programs traders should get involved with. Its disconcerting and understandable the struggle most people encounter when searching for an honest trading solution. Fortunately you shouldn't feel discouraged as plenty of Reputable Trading Services are available for limiting risks and amplifying profitable outcomes. No matter your skill level, there's something for all trading needs. In efforts to making sure a program you're interested in isn't a danger, regularly checking our blacklist is encouraged for keeping updated on multiple scams and questionable brokers which should be avoided.

The Observer
'Agri-business – The Way To Go' is the theme for the Department of Agriculture's annual Open Day slated for the end of March 2006. As part of its quest to introduce new ideas to the Open Day celebration the department, on Wednesday launched a poster competition for the primary and secondary school students on the island.
The winning entry would be judged by January 27th 2006 and will be displayed on Open Day. Wednesday's launch form part of the weeklong activities commemorating the 25th anniversary of World Food Day. Communications and Quarantine Officer of the Department of Agriculture (Nevis); Eric Evelyn encouraged the general public to participate in this week's activities and Open Day 2006. Junior Minister of Agriculture, Honourable Livingston Herbert and Director of Agriculture, Samuel Powell also attended the launching ceremony and made brief remarks.
Minister Herbert officially launched the competition to the public particularly the primary and secondary school students. Herbert who said, "Agriculture is a way of life" showed the many ways Agriculture can be linked to our normal lives. Realizing and emphasizing the extreme importance of Agriculture to the community, he asked students to "create a poster as to their vision on how the business-side of Agriculture must evolve."
"The competition seeks to promote and stimulate agricultural awareness among children. The theme focuses on a businesslike approach to agriculture in Nevis," said Director Powell. Powell, in his remarks outlined the rules and guidelines of the poster competition.
The entries will be judged on creativity, content, relevance to theme and quality of presentation and may include words to highlight the ideas that will be depicted. Students are only allowed to submit one standard size (22"x28") poster/Bristol board which depicts ways in which Agriculture can be approached as a business. The colours, design and medium are left up to the imaginative and creative minds of the students.
The winner of the poster competition will receive a trophy, an EC$250 cash prize and free entry to all Open Day activities. Deadline date is January 14th 2006.

Comments Off on More than 300 children and adults receive donated bikes in Madison County
Posted in In The News
By Michael Yeoman
Contributing Writer —
Lines started forming as early as 8 a.m. as eager children and adults anxiously awaited for the doors to open at 1 p.m. on this year's annual Bike Day as 321 families in Madison County who may have otherwise not been able to afford one received bicycles.
Ainsley Penicle, 3, of Oneida Castle was in the front quarter of the line stretching from the former Rite-Aid store down to United Auto Parts at the North Side Shopping Center. She hoped to find a pink bicycle with training wheels so she could learn how to ride.
Inside, Community Bikes coordinator Chuck Fox held a last-minute meeting with a large group of volunteers who came out to help place the correct bike with each individual.
"Getting a bicycle today is going to make a big difference for a lot of these kids and families and they do appreciate it," Fox said. He encouraged volunteers to make the experience as special and as positive for the recipient as possible.
Both older and newer bikes were donated by area residents throughout the year. "We have everything from tricycles to mountain bikes here today," said Fox. Rows of tricycles, cruisers, hybrids, and mountain bikes sat polished up and ready to go. Volunteers had spent the winter months fixing up the donated bicycles and making them safe for their new owner.
As families entered the former Rite-Aid, they were greeted by a "mechanic" who walked with them to the bike an individual selected, helped them adjust the seat to its proper height and explain how to use the brakes and gears.
"This is super cool," said Austin Ungler, 11, of Eaton, whose face was brimming with smiles as he guided his bike around the floor of the giveaway area. He was assisted by Madison County Sheriff Allen Riley, who was on hand with his wife, Carol, and several other volunteers to help to properly fit the helmets onto the heads of new owners.
"This is a great event. The kids get a good feeling about themselves with their new bicycles and have a safe bike to ride during the spring and summer months," Riley said.
In addition to the bicycle and helmet, most of the bicycle recipients also received a lock to safely secure the bicycle at school or at work.
"We are extremely grateful to those individuals and organizations who donate their unused bicycles," said Fox. "They have the satisfaction of knowing that a bike that may be sitting unused in their garage will be enjoyed by someone in our community who wouldn't otherwise have access to a bike."
This year's Community Bikes Program was the fourth annual giveaway in Madison County and the first held at the North Side Shopping Center. Previous years' events have been at the Kallet Civic Center.
Fox also credits Community Action Partnership of Madison County for being an active partner with Community Bikes over the past four years and in helping to assemble a listing for the placement of bikes for this event with families and individuals in Madison County who are in need of one.
The local demand for bicycles exceeds the number given away at the annual distribution on Bike Day. "Every year it seems the demand increases. It could be a sign of the economy," Fox said. Those who do not receive a bike at the annual giveaway are placed on a list and provided with a bicycle when one is received that meets their needs. Fox accepts donations year round to help meet the demands of this important program.

HAMILTON — Community Bikes has received an increased number of donations in advance of the annual Bike Day Sunday, April 15, when more than 300 bicycles will be placed with families in Madison County who can't afford one.
Community Bikes coordinator Chuck Fox said that bike donations are critical to the success of the project. "We are extremely grateful to those individuals and organizations who donate their unused bicycles," said Fox. "They have the satisfaction of knowing that a bike that may be sitting unused in their garage will be enjoyed by someone in our community who wouldn't otherwise have access to a bike." He noted that, while the Bike Day is scheduled for Sunday, April 15 bike donations are needed and welcome year round.
Fox said the organization seeks bikes of all descriptions and for all ages, and that bikes should be in good to excellent working condition.
There are several drop off locations around the county including the First Baptist Church in Chittenango, St. James Church in Cazenovia, St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Oneida, Community Action Partnership in Canastota and the Community Bikes workshop at 40 Milford St. in Hamilton. In some cases pick up of bikes can be arranged.
Community Bikes annual Bike Day Sunday will be held at the former Rite Aid Building in the Northside Shopping Plaza on North Main Street in Oneida from 1-3 p.m. Bike recipients must be present and pre-registered to receive a bike.

In the spring of 2012, Community Bikes is sending 75 bikes, helmets and locks to the Caribbean island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis. The pilot program is the result of a partnership with Colgate University alumna Kathryn Bertine, who is training to qualify in women's cycling for the 2012 summer Olympics in London, representing St. Kitts and Nevis.
St. Kitts and Nevis is a country of 41,000 people. Featuring breathtaking beauty and a developing tourism industry, the island is also dealing with major issues related to youth drug use and gang violence.

Tuesday morning, a tractor-trailer from Canastota edged down Milford Street an onto Lebanon on the first leg of a journey to get bicycles and medical supplies from here to the small Caribbean islands of St. Kitts and Nevis.
The truck carried 11 pallets of bikes, helmets and locks from Community Bikes and donated medical supplies. Some 75 bicycles were first bound to the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station, where they would be loaded onto massive cargo planes for the trip to the Caribbean. Once there, the government of the two islands would distribute the bikes to children and adults in need.

Children in St. Kitts and Nevis will benefit from a zeal for wheels that is shared by two Colgate alumni from different generations. Thanks to a collaboration between Chuck Fox '70 and Kathryn Bertine '97, 75 gently used bicycles will be shipped to the small Caribbean islands, where they then will be distributed to elementary and middle schoolers.
Fox's Community Bikes program already provides approximately 300 newly restored bicycles per year to people in Madison County who otherwise couldn't afford one. He's always wanted to expand the initiative, and with the help of Bertine, it's gone global.

Soul of Nowhere: Traversing Grace in a Rugged Land (Hardcover)
Special Order
In Soul of Nowhere, Craig Childs answers the call of fierce places; the more desolate the landscape, the more passionately he is drawn to it. Childs tracks a broad territory: the Sierra Madre Mountains, the canyons of Utah, the White Mountain Apache Reservation, a deserted island in the Sea of Cortez. In his extraordinary nomadic treks, the author finds the land animated and himself enlivened. Childs's obvious love for seemingly inhospitable places redeems them for armchair travelers and outdoor adventurers alike. Black-and-white photographs and pen-and-ink drawings by the author are included. Childs is a poet at heart." San Francisco Chronicle

This treat toy is great because it doesn't require a holder. You can string up some bailing twine, add a snap to make it easy to replace, or just cut it down and tie a new one up. Quick n easy. I also find the roundness of it makes it tougher to get their mouth around and chomp on it., which makes it last longer. Best if it it tied up in a place where the horse can't pin it up against anything.

Announcing the 2008 Midmarket IT Leadership Award Winners
CIO Decisions Midmarket IT Leadership Award Winners are proven IT leaders. Learn why with these profiles of our 2008 winners.
From cutting-edge IT projects to vision, innovation and leadership, the 2008 Midmarket IT Leadership Award Winners have one thing in common: a deep understanding of how IT can drive business success, and the ability to drive the technological and organizational change to get it done. Read on for their stories.
Methodology: CIO Decisions Media launched the third annual Midmarket IT Leadership Awards in December 2007 and promoted them by email to members of SearchCIO.com, SearchCIO-Midmarket.com and past and prospective attendees of the CIO Decisions Conference.
The nomination process began with a short, Web-based questionnaire filled out by a nominator and a longer questionnaire completed by the nominee. Each nominee was required to discuss how he or she enables innovation in IT, as well as his or her leadership style, technology vision for his or her company and current projects aligned with that vision. A panel of judges (see below) scored the entries using criteria including the effectiveness of the leader and his or her projects, the projects' value to the organization and the executive's success in meeting business goals. Additional information on the awards program is available at CIODecisionsConference.com.

In a traditional classroom, the pace is dictated by the teacher and the curriculum. The teacher decides the rhythm in which the students are learning but in the context of personalized learning, it's the learner who decides the pace.
It's irrelevant to pace learning the same way for everyone. We all have different needs! We would like everyone to reach their own targets rather than choose a standardized learning outcome to achieve within a specific time frame. Choosing the pace allows students to really focus on their goal and achieve them. It's okay if a student needs 120 minutes to complete one unit of learning while others might only need 60 min. Students need to advance as they are ready to move on. They should be able to articulate where they are in their learning and the teacher can respond to the needs in the moment.
To ensure the pace is tailored, we need to establish trust and a culture of transparency in the classroom. Students can request an assessment (that can be created by the teacher, by him/herself or collaboratively with the teacher) to demonstrate the mastery of a new competency.
In order to monitor the learning progress, the student and teacher decide how learning data will be collected to show where the student is in his/her learning but instead of progressing though time, we let the student share a demonstration as soon as he/she is ready. So even though we might anticipate a time frame, the actual factor is when the student can demonstrate the competency (it can be later or earlier than expected).

French native speaker, with 2 years of experience teaching French, English and Spanish with a TEFL certificate and a bachelor degree. Why choose me? Because not only I'm a great teacher but I'm FUN! So you will always be excited about your upcoming class!
Romiche helped me so much with my grammar and basic little rules I had forgotten. She was great to talk to, easy to organise lessons and an all round lovely person. I highly recommend her.
Romiche is a great and fun person my kids loved her and her style of teaching French
Romiche taught both my boys french for several months. They are 3 and 5 years old and she was able to capture their attention fully for 45 mins each and they loved the classes and looked forward to seeing her each time. Thanks for your dedication! Asha
Practicing French with Romi was very enjoyable, she was cool with all the topics we brought up, would let me speak and then corrected me systematically. It's the atmosphere that makes you learn, right? I made big improvements in a short time and it just went naturally.
