Non-Destructive Technologies for Monitoring and Condition Assessment to Support Safety, Maintenance Programming, and Cost Allocation
Local, state, and federal legislators have expressed concerns about heavy commercial vehicles potentially causing accelerated damage to pavements and highway bridges. The health of large-scale structures such as bridges, embankments, railways, locks, and tunnels is essential for maintaining the continuity of the nation's freight systems. However, by increasing the legal truck weight limits, the nation could benefit from more efficient freight transportation by creating energy savings, fewer greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and much higher driver productivity. CFIRE partners are interested in the application of various non-destructive technologies for monitoring and condition assessment of freight transportation infrastructure. This initiative will pursue the creation of field-validated modular systems of fiber optic sensors (FOS) for monitoring transportation infrastructure leading to better information for maintenance and prevention of catastrophic failures. This research will evaluate the viability and efficacy of other new technologies, such as LIDAR, for damage assessment of pavements and bridge decks. Partners at UW-Madison have worked with MicronOptics, a leading fiber optics measurement company, and applied the technology for evaluating rail track deformations as part of the ballast fouling process.
This research will evaluate the potential uses of new technologies for infrastructure monitoring and damage assessment. The research will produce practical methods to install sensors, collect data, and summarize results for both short- and long-term monitoring of critical freight infrastructure components and elements. This research will provide local, state, and federal agencies with information sources on non-destructive tools for structural health monitoring, developing risk management systems, upgrading design standards, and assessing and allocating cost associated with structural damage.
The research effort will be compiled in a final report that will include all tasks presented in the work plan. Moreover, the results from this project will be summarized in a web-based interactive module. The success of our research project will be the implementation of the web-based interactive decision-making module by DOT engineers, contractors, and transportation-related companies in assessing the use of non-destructive testing technologies in transportation projects.
Industry Impact
This research proposal will
- Evaluate the proper use of NDT techniques as applicable for transportation infrastructure components/systems inspection;
- Address the potential impact of heavy commercial vehicles on the deterioration of transportation infrastructure components/systems;
- Help develop timely maintenance schedules using performance-based data;
- Improve economic competitiveness by proper assignment of resources;
- Add to the environmental sustainability of transportation systems by creating climate-related monitoring of infrastructure deterioration, developing tools to protect transportation infrastructure and systems against natural hazards, and reducing safety impacts of climate change on the transportation system).

There is no denying that you can brew a great cup of coffee in a traditional auto-drip machine. However, for a fast and easy alternative to drip-brewing, consider the pour-over method! Pour-over coffee brewing happens to be one of the more convenient ways of brewing coffee outside of a coffee maker. A pour-over system can come in many shapes and sizes, but all pour-over systems share a few common characteristics. They include a filter typically made of paper, a cone or hopper, and a valve or a hole that allows the coffee to drip in to a container. Many of these systems do accommodate more than one cup of coffee, but the vast majority are constructed for single cup brewing.
So how does the pour-over system work? First, place the filter inside the cone. It is a good idea to pre-wet the filter so if fits snuggly, by allowing some water to run through the device. Next, add your ground coffee beans. The beans should be ground finer than your standard drip grind, but coarser than an espresso grind. The standard ratio is one ounce of water to two grams of coffee. If you are making a single twelve oz. cup, use 24 grams of coffee. After dosing, place the grounds inside the filter of the pour-over cone. Next, bring your water to approximately 195-200 degrees Fahrenheit and evenly disperse your 12 ounces of water over the coffee grounds. Let the coffee steep for four to five minutes, while stiring the wet grounds to ensure the water is evenly dispersed. Finally place the pour-over cone on top of your coffee mug so that the valve mechanism will allow coffee to begin to drip into your cup! Some pour-over systems are built without the valve mechanism, and have a simple, open hole at the bottom of the cone. If you are working with a system similar to this, make sure you place the pour-over device over your mug in the beginning of the brewing process .
Now, you may ask yourself, why go through this trouble for one cup of coffee? The answer, to put it simply, is quality. By pouring hot water slowly over the ground-up beans, you extract more flavor, than you would by brewing a pot in a traditional auto-drip brewer. It is also a great way to control all of the brewing variables such as water temperature, proper ratios and evenly dispersed water, all of which are much harder to control on an auto-dripper. The pour-over method is arguably one of the best ways to enjoy fresh coffee that has all of the specific notes and none of the sediment. The pour-over system may not have all the bells and whistles, or even a clock radio, but it's quick, easy and can make one remarkable cup of coffee!

Blue and White Glass Mosaic Tile for Focal Point of Bathroom
A Bathroom also needs a focal point to give different accent for the space. This picture shows us how to differentiate between shower area and other zone of the bathroom. The owner of the bathroom likes using mosaic tiles for making focal point of the room. The using of two different tone blue and white tiles really makes a great appearance for the shower area. While for the other parts of the room, the owner lets the white painting wall as simple decoration. To give extra touch, nice triple light fixtures are installed over the tub. Window door idea gives open plan style for the bathroom. While bathing, you can see a garden view to refresh your mind.


text: Last Nights News February 2012 2/3/2012 Lefave, Patricia 3990 views Researchers are searching diligently for the cause of "mental illness." They are doing this by searching through the brains they have kept in jars for just the telltale "anomalies" that show the differences between the "normal" and the "abnormal." They wear white coats and check thin slices of the brains of people like me, now deceased and no longer complaining, many of whom who "thought" they have been "harmed by others" or who "think" they were child sexual abuse victims and, as Freud told us...really such tales from children only indicated the desire of the victim to seduce the "imagined" aggressor. (the opposite of what the "supposed victim" was "claiming.") Moving on to other news, in the same report: 200 men were arrested in the biggest child porn ring yet to date including two of them in my own city. Sixty have now been charged. At last count 22 of the children used and abused like irrelevant objects have been identified. At least for these ones, being diagnosed with a "mental illness" for "imagining" they have been harmed by others or "just" SAYING that to "seek attention" won't be added to their current overwhelming trauma. They are the "lucky" children if you can describe anything in this as "better" than not being seen and heard at all. What "illness" will the 200 men be diagnosed with? Some of these children will have, or will develop, what will be defined as "mental illness." Many of them will experience altered states of consciousness (psychosis) as a direct result of the abuse, the pressure, the inescapable stress and the horror of what they have been put through. Many of those not identified by the police with concrete evidence of it will not be believed and then will be blamed by "others" for inventing "stories" and will be further psychologically and/or verbally attacked by their families, often including the abuser who denies such things could be done by a family member. Many will also be blamed and be on the receiving end of shows of contempt and outright hatred by the public for being a horrible child who is inherently 'defective' for saying such things, especially about someone who is so well liked by others. Labelling tends to turn a temporary state into a permanent one for after all, if a DOCTOR says that reality is a certain way, who can believe otherwise right? A few of these children, for whom rescue comes too late or not at all, will become serial killers who will no doubt be defined by some psychiatrists as inherently "defective" human beings; genetic defectives who could be "fixed" if ONLY researchers can locate that gene that causes these things. Could it be that what causes these things has something to do, in part, with the "No One Must Be Blamed Game"? Forensics cops know that most serial killers are essentially acting out their own abuse. WHEN is this society going to come out of it's idiotic denial and start focusing on the real problem which is a lack of personal boundaries, a lack of any real empathy and an ongoing dysfunctional relating pattern which is passed off as "normal" and unresolvable? You have to face the reality of what these children are being put through and the true horror of it if you are going to deal with it and put a stop to it. If you don't the world is going to stay psychiatrically split between the abusers who "can't help it" because they are "ill" with a bad brain and the victims who can't help "claiming" they are abused by others, including family members, because they TOO have a bad brain that and their bad brains are causing them to think they were abused when "really" they weren't, as it would not be "reasonable" for abusers to behave that way. Like DUH! You police agencies need to SHOWevery general psychiatrist in Ontario right now, the PICTURES of what children are put through. Nothing penetrates resistance to reality like concrete proof does it? "Proof is the bottom line for everyone." It will be very hard for them to hold onto the Family Romance after the images are burned into their brains in the cases, of loving family members getting their jollies or making money from horrendous child abuse that often drives their own children into madness, the more so after the behaviour of the perpetrators is denied while the children are blamed and labelled "mentally ill" for the effects on them of intolerable abuse, while trapped in hopeless and helpless situations where there is no escape possible. As one of those involved in this latest roundup up put it on the morning news; "The child abuse victim is often disempowered as part of the abuse." Often they are told there is something wrong with THEM for objecting to it or "whining" about it, they are told not to talk about it and that no one would believe a child over an adult, and many are threatened with beatings, or an INCREASE in the level of abuse and even death if they try to talk about it. The news anchor responded:"So it creates a circle of abuse..." Hear It? THE CIRCLE. Infinite loop thinking; the Dark side. In this report there are now 8900 known adult participants in Ontario alone. Get over the No One Must Be Blamed game. This is not about diseases BRAINS. It is about dis-eased MINDS and you cannot "fix" the metaphysical by physical means. EXPOSE the reality of this and stop excusing it; or worse, denying it's existence because it would not be "reasonable" for adult humans to behave this way. It is the "covert" behaviour, the secret keeping that enables and perpetuates it. REASON has nothing to do with this. There is another point I would like you psychiatrists to consider. Did you know that there is now some concrete evidence by other "researchers' that changing one's MIND also changes the brain? Another opposite viewpoint. Look it up. Then speculate; if that is true, what implications does it have for all your current reductionism? Do you who are looking for genes as the cause of everything now have a bad gene that mistakenly causes you to actually believe that everything can be reduced to it's physical properties and definitions and that this allows you to understand everything perfectly? The danger that exists is the same old one: One group of people decide they represent all that is "normal" and correct about being human and anyone who deviates, in any way, from the superior people's understanding of reality needs to be "fixed." "Fixed" always means being made to be more like the Fixer; the "ideal" to which the Fixer, who is holding the concrete power, believes all others should aspire to be like, and if they do not, they should be forced to do so, for THEIR own "good." Whenever someone is telling someone that what is being done TO them, BY someone else is for their own good, a warning bell should be sounded as more often than not, the one doing the good, is doing it to defend his or her own position, whether right or wrong and presented as "normal' in all inclusive abstract terms. It is ALWAYS about personal boundaries in one direction or the other. The "cure" is going to be self focus on a premise of mutual respect for boundaries. There is no problem, and no crime, that is NOT about a lack of mutual respect for personal boundaries between ANY two people, in any circumstance of life. Try to think of one problem, from relatively mild to criminal extremes that isn't about that. Call child porn what is is:ExtremeChildAbuse and tell those downloading it that they are participants in extreme child abuse by creating a "market" for the destruction of the lives and minds of children as a form of deviant, sadistic "entertainment" for themselves and others. Don't keep the abusers "secrets". Bombard the public with the reality of it in general terms without any personal identities but in graphic detail including the emotional reactions of the children. Don't mince words or protect the public from the truth and the horror of it. Drive it home. It is far too easy to minimize the effects of what is "hidden" or denied to exist and doing so empowers the abuser at the same instant it dis-empowers the victims. I still think police agencies should have a weekly column in which you talk about your work in general but in lots of detail and about the ripple effect the failure to solve human problems, relationship issues and boundary violations has on everyone in an endless variety of forms and to various degrees from relatively mild to the extremes of every kind of murder and torture. Connect the dots for them.

Chainsaw Chain Oil Protects Bar From Heat Damage
Imagine having to hold a can of oil over a chainsaw while cutting wood, knowing that if you failed to apply the right amount the bar will overheat, possibly warp and the chain will become damaged. Instead of having to apply chainsaw chain oil manually, most saw have an automatic system designed to properly lubricate the chain and bar. For the most part, it is going to be labeled bar oil, but essentially, it is the same thing. Chainsaw chain oil designed to keep the chain flowing smoothly around the bar for anywhere from 3,000 to 7,000 feet per minute, depending on the saw.
On most chainsaws, the chainsaw chain oil is added, providing constant lubrication to the chain and the bar, into a separate reservoir. In most instances, a properly working chain oiling system will need the reservoir filled at about the same time the chainsaw runs out of gas. Figure on filling the chainsaw chain oil every time you fill the gas tank or run the risk of damaging the bar and the chain.
It is important to remember that sawdust, wood chips and dirt will quickly accumulate on the chain and in the area where the chain goes through the lubrication and must be cleaned out often. When putting the saw away for more than a week, it is advisable to lightly coat the chain with chainsaw chain oil to prevent rusting during periods of non-use.
Chainsaw Chain Oil Can Be Sticky Commodity
Chainsaw bar oil is extremely thick and pours like honey. It is almost the same color but is has a tendency to stick to the hands and fingers and can be messy if spilled on the floor or on the sides of the saw. Care must be exercised when filling the reservoir with chainsaw chain oil to insure it does not overflow.
While it would be extremely hard to confuse chainsaw chain oil with chainsaw fuel oil, in the event it happens and is noticed before the saw is operated, both reservoirs must be emptied and cleaned before the saw is used or else damage will occur to the saw. While the oil used in two-cycle engines is listed as having a viscosity of 20W, chainsaw chain oil is closer to 90W, but is made of different additives that the typical 90W gear oil. Under no circumstances should the chainsaw be operated without chain oil as damage will occur to the bar and the chain.

"At Irwindale CrossFit we welcome anyone who is motivated to improve his or her overall health and wants to be part of a supportive and family friendly community."
It's not about being thin or heavy. It's about knowing happiness with your own body. I've always pushed myself to eat well, exercise, and avoid the temptations of over-indulgence of the 'Not-So-Good-For-You-Food-And-Drink.' Where did it get me? Well, I'm a 2x survivor of cancer.
Sometimes that's just what life deals you. I was literally a weak person in a strong person's body. But if you can be strong in mind and body when life deals you those hands, then you have the strength to conquer anything.
In March of 2016, after numerous attempts to lose weight and gain the strength that chemo took from me in 2015, I came across the name 'Irwindale Crossfit.' I've always loved the idea of weight training but my regular gym never provided the coaching needed to be successful, that is not without the high cost.
One visit to Irwindale Crossfit and I was hooked. At first, I felt like I was the weakest, the oldest, and even doubted myself during that first visit. But I kept coming back because the coaches gave me the personal attention I needed, even in a class filled with 20 people. These coaches showed me how to modify the training to suit my level of ability. Every member in attendance encourages and supports your every effort. I'm happy to exclaim, "I'm a Crossfit junkie!" and the thought of not continuing, never crosses my mind.
If Crossfit is not on your bucket list of life, it should be. Believe in yourself because Irwindale Crossfit believes anyone and everyone can be successfully healthy and strong.

So I look at the TV menu and through blurry eyes I see
Samurai Jack
and I scream "YESSSSSSSSSS!"
This was my favorite show as a little ten year old girl. (Next to Sailor Moon, of course) It's the show that started my Samurai OBSESSION. After Samurai Jack I watched Samurai X, Samurai Champloo, read Afro Samurai, wanted to go to Disney World and go to International Showcase at Epcot to BUY a Samurai Sword. My obsession was ridiculous, yet understandable, I mean HELLO! You get sweet skills and a bad-to-the-bone sword. Watching Samurai Jack was a nice flashback to the past (Gotta get back, back to the past, Samurai Jack! - LOVE IT!)
And then today I had another relapse...
I have had another Harry Potter freak moment and successfully added another Harry Potter t shirt to my collection: A rare, collectible Death Eaters t-shirt. Can't wait to get it in the mail and then I can put up a picture. It's quite epic! Along with the shirt I am getting an AWESOME pair of skinny jeans too. (According to the picture) they're a bright pink/fuchsia color.
And my final relapse...
I'm patiently waiting to hear news. I don't know why but it is giving me the same sickening feeling that I felt when applying for college and waiting to be rejected.
Hopefully it'll go my way.
We'll see.

The Manual
For my thesis I needed to identify lots of astronomical sources. Source Extractor was rapidly becoming the predominant tool to make a catalogs of the sources in an astronomical image.
Unfortunately, at the time there was little documentation for it and what there was, was not up to date. So I bundled all my notes, the official documentation and overheard advice into a single manual. This kept growing into what it is now.
Still the manual is made by a user, not someone who made the code. And since I needed to do other things (like write a thesis), even this manual lags a bit behind the latest SE version.
So if you find something missing or inaccurate, PLEASE just email me. I'll be happy to update.

It's an afternoon of lively, positive dances and a kaleidoscope of bright pigmentation.
The Hindu Temple Society of North America will present Holi: The Spring Festival of Colors at Queens Museum on Sunday, April 23, at 2 p.m. It's free and open to all.
Holi is an international, Hindu-based ritual that marks the onset of spring and the triumph of light over darkness. However, this two-hour event will incorporate aspects of Earth Day celebrations, harvest festivals, and other acts expressing gratitude to Mother Earth.
Many women will wear colorful saris and floral necklaces. Fresh flowers and statuettes of Hindu gods will fill the venue. And artists from a variety of nationalities and cultures will dance, sing, chant, play sitars and tablas, distribute sweets, and play harmless pranks on each other.
As part of the festivities, many participants will sprinkle red-dyed water, perfume, and talcum powder on each other as an expression of love based on the tale of a friendly coloring battle between a Hindu god and some cowherds. (Out of respect, youngsters only color the feet of elders.)
Holi occurs annually on the first full moon of the Hindu calendar. Its origins are in northern India and Nepal, where it's also popular in the non-Hindu communities.
The word "Holi" probably comes from "Holika," the evil sister of a demon king in Hindu folklore. She allegedly tricked her good nephew, Prahlada, into sitting on a burning pyre with her while she was wearing a protective cloak. The flames grew, generating a gust that blew her cloak onto Prahlada. So Holika burned to death, while Prahlada survived. Townspeople celebrated by spreading ashes from the pyre on their foreheads, a practice that probably evolved into today's friendly color battles.
Established in 1977, Hindu Temple Society of North America is the oldest Hindu temple in the United States. It's located on Bowne Street in Flushing.

How to Repair the Springs in a Murphy Bed
A Murphy bed may not be very common anymore, but they are still used in many apartments in New Yorkl and San Francisco. Knowing how to replace springs is necessary, they can be replaced quickly and easily.
Safety First
The springs that Murphy beds use are very tight, do not try to stretch them with your hands. You should use a manual screwdriver to stretch them out.
Step 1: Buying Replacement Springs
You will need to the replacement springs from the bed's manufacturer in order to get the right size. You can order them either on the phone or online. Make sure to have the model number handy. It is very important that you do not try to buy them at a hardware store, because they will not fit properly or be as tight as they need to be. If you cannot contact your bed's manufacturer, you may need to contact another manufacturer and purchase their replacement springs. It is best to buy them from a Murphy bed manufacturer for the best selection and high quality springs. Though if you are in a tight time crunch, you can try to buy springs that are meant for fold-away couch beds because they should work about the same way and be tight enough.
Step 2: Take Apart the Murphy Bed
Most Murphy beds are either attached to a cabinet or closet, taking it apart will vary for each bed. Basically, you will need to pull down the bed and remove the mattress from the frame. Then, you will need to remove the frame or cradle and start removing the old springs. You may need a friend to help hold it up. You can also use the owners manual on how to put the bed back together.
Step 3: Install the New Springs in
Using a regular screwdriver, gently and slowly remove the old springs. It may take some prying on your behalf, but you should be able to remove it. If you still are having a hard time removing them, rub a little oil on them. Once they are removed, you can replace them with the new springs. Remember to use the manual screwdriver to help stretch the new springs. Do not do that with your hands, because if they pop back into place they can cause serious injuries. Hold the screwdriver loosely and keep your hands on the edge of the handles. This will keep them safe from any springs popping back into place and prevent injuries.
Step 4: Put the Bed Back Together
If you removed the cradle or frame, install that where it belongs. Even if you did not remove it, you may want to tighten the screws that hold it in place. Once the frame is secure, you can place the mattress back on it. You can also add bolts or screws on the mattress to hold it in place. Once everything is back together and secure.

After climbing out of the 2016 Nissan Pathfinder and into the 2016 Nissan Murano, I immediately found myself disappointed and missing the larger SUV.
For a comparable price point, around $46,000, I just felt the Pathfinder offered a lot more bang, AND luxury, for your buck! The exterior of the Murano is definitely more modern looking, with curves comparable to the Evoque, but even so - it still didn't impress me much. The Arctic Blue exterior and black leather interior combination didn't pop, maybe I would have liked it more if it were black or red on the outside, with a white or tan on the inside.
On a positive note, it definitely has a lot of power! You barely have to touch the gas pedal before the speedometer starts to climb. In case you're wondering, the Murano Platinum is 6-cylinder, 260 hp. However, I must say, I found it to be a bit of a gas guzzler. More than the Pathfinder. According to Nissan it gets 11.2 city and 8.3 hwy L/100km.
The other thing that I didn't like was the interior trim. Which is surprising, because they changed it from the fake wood panel look that I REALLY detest to a more updated brushed silver trim. It just looks really cheap. Even after a week of driving it it still didn't grow on me.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad vehicle, there's lots to like - panoramic moon roof, push start engine, heated side mirrors and blind spot alert, heated/cooling seat control in the front and heated seats in the back, heated steering wheel, 11-speaker Bose stereo system, great back view camera with overview split screen to help you park, and power tail gate controlled by the main fob. It drives like a sedan, hugging corners, very smooth over bumps, and great braking. However, the collision warning system was less than par. It didn't always work, and when it did I found it to be too quiet, I could barely hear it. Parking in tight spots wasn't a problem, it was easy to see out the front and the back-up camera was very clear.
Also, unlike the Pathfinder, there is a button in the trunk that you can press and then a lever to pull, to lay down the back seats. Press and hold the button again, and voila, they pop back up. I love that feature! Nissan please add this to the next Pathfinder!
There's some other nice details that I appreciated – sunglass holder on the roof near the moon roof control, USB outlet in the front and back, and a headphone jack next to the driver. Oh yeah, and a smartphone compartment for the back passengers. It's the little things, right?! The back seats are a 40/60 split, and the middle partition folds down to double as a couple holder. It's a comfy ride for all; nice leather seats and very roomy.
So… luxury…? Sure, I guess to a point, but I feel they cheaped out a bit too much in the interior look and tech features.

"Pathways to success" – what start-ups need to know about the NHS policy priorities
Any start-up looking to innovate within the health tech space needs to understand the wider context they operate in to succeed; it helps you segment your potential customers and improve how you communicate your value proposition. But wading through reams of policy documents, opinions and media stories is easier said than done, particularly when it's likely to be just one of countless tasks your team needs to do.
To give you a head start, the Pfizer Healthcare Hub:London spoke to Gregory Rochelle, Policy Engagement Manager at Pfizer UK about the current policy priorities within the NHS, the organisation's approach to digital and how you can accelerate your growth by understanding your customer's needs:
"Anyone who is looking to scale innovation within the NHS must first do their due diligence in terms of the current NHS climate. The NHS is a huge, and at times, complex service provider, which has been serving the UK for nearly 70 years. It may look like one organisation from the outside with similar values, needs and challenges but it is far more complex than that. The NHS is made up of many organisations each with their own priorities to deliver services to their own users, from Public Health England to the smallest CCG. Far from being a barrier to entry, this creates real opportunities for entrepreneurs who take the time to understand how the NHS works and, critically, its aspirations.
The NHS operates in a climate of constant change. New procedures, media and political pressures, health scares and medicines all constantly force staff to revisit and re-evaluate the way the NHS works. This creates the perfect opportunity for an innovative company with a smart technology solution to make a real difference to patients' lives.
This opportunity is amplified by the increasing demand placed upon NHS services and increased focus on maximising value. There is a growing realisation that technology can make a real difference to how NHSE operates – both by increasing health outcomes and reducing costs – but not the means to innovate at scale internally.
This climate means that the NHS in England has chosen to prioritise delivering improvement within relatively fixed budgets. Any new innovation that combines near term savings with a major patient benefit will be prioritised ahead of competitors, regardless of the claims made by the competition. It can be challenging to persuade decision makers to invest upfront for possible future savings.
Similarly, if a start-up has a solution which will clearly reduce avoidable harm it can leap frog competitors with harder to measure claims.
Hard evidence around your solution's efficacy is vital and though proof of benefits in the real world is harder to come by, trials and beta programmes are considered. In the early stages, finding someone working in the NHS to help you focus your product development and collect the early evidence to make your case can also be a quicker way of building your bank of proof points. If you don't know where to start, I'd suggest attending relevant conferences, emailing local clinicians and academics or reaching out to a local academic health science network (AHSN) or find a local health tech incubator programme.
Then there is the even more difficult task of getting an innovation adopted at pace and scale. The way the NHS in England is currently set up, with independent CCGs and Trusts, makes how you choose to market your innovation critical, you could spend hours trying to find a willing ear in each organisation and hope they have the remit to commission your innovation. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel - NHSE recognises the problem and has senior leaders working on how best to solve it. For now, start-ups need to build a compelling business case, grounded in the reality of STP plans, the Five Year Forward View and supported by advocates they have with NHS experience. Look out for opportunities to meet early adopter organisations through programs such as NHS Test Beds.
To help make the most of your resources, treat NHS organisations like any group of potential customers, segment them, look at the digital exemplars, the fast followers, the organisations building a reputation for managing change well and prioritise them. It's these people who have the potential to become your advocates and can provide advice not only on fine tuning your technology, but also building a business case for its adoption.
Having said that, the NHS as a whole recognises the need to embrace the digital era and has determined that it will do so by setting up NHS Digital and Public Health digital departments. These departments should be a key port of call for any start-up looking to establish a more formal relationship with the NHS and over time will help establish the direction of travel for digital solutions within the NHS. Right now, the prevailing opinion from these departments and across the NHS is that the major benefit of technology will be in increasing patient self-care and reducing GP and A&E footfall.
Any innovation which can help with patient self-care, real world data collection, has interoperability and is, at worst, cost neutral will be at least considered carefully in the current climate. If you can realise these goals, then you have a chance of getting your innovation adopted."
The Hub works with colleagues like Greg across Pfizer to help later stage digital health companies understand how to scale up successfully by understanding the needs of patients, providers and payers in constantly changing healthcare markets in the UK and further afield. Look out for our next call for innovations.
Pfizer Healthcare Hub:London interviewed David Birchmore of Cievert to find out how the company is helping to reduce the time NHS cancer patients have to wait for appointments.

A ghost story around a campfire is almost as a given as death and taxes, but when those stories come to life, survival is not. Croak revolves around three young adults that venture out on camping trip "where their worst nightmares come to life." Written by Cody Andrew Sousa, with art by Francesco Iaquinta, and colors by Chris O'halloran, Croak is a tension-filled thriller that moves at a breakneck pace tempting the reader to skip ahead. But whatever you do, don't turn back.
The story opens with three friends, Tim, Nick and Aubrey who are on their way to a camping trip, despite the fact that only one of them is a camper (Nick). The story does an excellent job of giving us a bit of tension, but then pulling back and letting it build up until all hell breaks loose. Sousa leads us to assume that Croak is going to rely on the typical campfire ghost story trope, which it very nearly does.
When the story isn't going through one of its tension-filled frenzies, the dialogue does tend to get a little uninspired. And unless I missed something, we don't learn Tim's name until halfway through the second issue. The twist at the end of issue three makes up for any previous missteps, minor though they are.
O'halloran's use of dark colors sets the mood flawlessly; I think this is where the newsprint aides and adds to the story. The texture of the paper and the thicker, more absorbent material adds depth and darkness to the page. Having said that, there are a few panels where it took a few extra glances before it sunk in.
Kudos to Iaquinta's creature creation, and the cause everyone's distress, which looks like a pterodactyl on two legs crossed with a giant rodent with two large bulging red eyes. Think of a Skeksis on steroids. The bold lines also add to the intensity of the situation.
Croak is just one of the hundred titles published by Alterna Comics. Overall, it's an enjoyable thrill-ride that I would recommend for fans of that genre. Croak is a three issue story arc that is over before you know it and will leave you wanting more both from this story and the creators. All three issues are available now where Alterna Comics are sold (a complete list of retailers who carry Alterna titles is available on their website alternacomics.com). It is recommended, for a story like this, that all three be read in succession to get a fulfilling experience.

The time you got Television, not a television
Posted by Michiel Scholten in posts
A VW van from the 50's of last century, advertising to get Television. That's right, not a television, or a dozen like a modern day US home has, but the concept in general. Times when the whole neighbourhood poured into your living room when a popular program was on. Wonder where those times have gone, as I barely watch television because of the generally crappy quality of the programs. Oh well, it's not like the Internet is much better ;)

Individual Differences or Situational Context?
Feb 23rd, 2009 by Scott Hebert
Each of the members of an organization has his or her behaviors and mannerisms. These differences are known as personality. Additionally, people have different levels of ability. These individual differences, personality and ability, help managers predict how successful an individual will be within an organization. Understanding these differences gives managers the opportunity to improve organizational performance and avoid discord (George & Jones, 2008).
Individual differences has the greatest on performance when there is not a pre-existing standard of behavior. Jim Collins (2001) noted that highly successful organizations in the last half of the 20th Century were built on teams that allowed their individual differences to create positive momentum. These organizations used the individual differences of their team members to encourage creativity. In fact, the management teams of many of these organizations were well known for intense arguments as the team members fought passionately for their ideas. Organizations that enjoyed a short run of success during this time period often had management teams that were stifled by an accepted mode of behavior. These teams were usually led by a single larger-than-life leader, and were expected to follow the direction of the leader or move on (Collins, 2001).
There are times when situational contexts can create positive performance. Teams that deal directly with customers, for example, understand that conforming to the expected behavior of the situation will result in improved customer satisfaction and organizational performance. These situational contexts are not limited to customer interaction, though. Anytime a team is interfacing with an external group, it can be expected that conforming to the situation rather than individual personality will achieve better results. Even if the external group is still part of the organization, this is important (George & Jones, 2008). As Collins (2001) noted, the management team of Nucor treated employees better than they treated themselves. This had the effect of creating intense employee loyalty.

Early season games are tough. Starting out with a new set of irons adds to the anxiety. You can practice indoors, and hit 100 putts a night in your living room, but it still takes time to get your game back. Add in the fact that your home course has punched their greens and you start to doubt yourself. Am I getting older, and maybe I won't be able to post the scores I used to. But then you have a game like today. The course is next to empty because of weather and you start out 4 over par on the first 3 holes, but you still think your game is close. And then you hit your new 6 iron to 15 feet and make the putt, and then you hit two 7 irons and make another birdie, and suddenly the game is there. You end up carding a 78, and maybe you are not too old after all. Can't wait until tomorrow.

I'm also battling a bad swing, don't know if it's my new irons in my head or working out trying toget stronger and faster over the winter. Probably the ladder because the worst part is my driving. I guess it's time for a lesson.

Discovery: The impression on this booklet cover shows what could be the earliest image of Christ
Precious: This booklet shows what scholars believe to be the map of Christian Jerusalem
One lucky owner: Hassan Saida with some of the artefacts that he says he inherited
Wonder: The cave in Jordan where the metal books were discovered
The image is eerily familiar: a bearded young man with flowing curly hair. After lying for nearly 2,000 years hidden in a cave in the Holy Land, the fine detail is difficult to determine. But in a certain light it is not difficult to interpret the marks around the figure's brow as a crown of thorns.
The extraordinary picture of one of the recently discovered hoard of up to 70 lead codices – booklets – found in a cave in the hills overlooking the Sea of Galilee is one reason Bible historians are clamouring to get their hands on the ancient artefacts.
If genuine, this could be the first-ever portrait of Jesus Christ, possibly even created in the lifetime of those who knew him.
The tiny booklet, a little smaller than a modern credit card, is sealed on all sides and has a three-dimensional representation of a human head on both the front and the back. One appears to have a beard and the other is without. Even the maker's fingerprint can be seen in the lead impression. Beneath both figures is a line of as-yet undeciphered text in an ancient Hebrew script.
Astonishingly, one of the booklets appears to bear the words 'Saviour of Israel' – one of the few phrases so far translated.
The owner of the cache is Bedouin trucker Hassan Saida who lives in the Arab village of Umm al-Ghanim, Shibli. He has refused to sell the booklets but two samples were sent to England and Switzerland for testing.
A Mail on Sunday investigation has revealed that the artefacts were originally found in a cave in the village of Saham in Jordan, close to where Israel, Jordan and Syria's Golan Heights converge – and within three miles of the Israeli spa and hot springs of Hamat Gader, a religious site for thousands of years
According to sources in Saham, they were discovered five years ago after a flash flood scoured away the dusty mountain soil to reveal what looked like a large capstone. When this was levered aside, a cave was discovered with a large number of small niches set into the walls. Each of these niches contained a booklet. There were also other objects, including some metal plates and rolled lead scrolls.
The area is renowned as an age-old refuge for ancient Jews fleeing the bloody aftermath of a series of revolts against the Roman empire in the First and early Second Century AD.
The cave is less than 100 miles from Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered, and around 60 miles from Masada, scene of the last stand and mass suicide of an extremist Zealot sect in the face of a Roman Army siege in 72AD – two years after the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem.
It is also close to caves that have been used as sanctuaries by refugees from the Bar Kokhba revolt, the third and final Jewish revolt against the Roman Empire in 132AD.
The era is of critical importance to Biblical scholars because it encompasses the political, social and religious upheavals that led to the split between Judaism and Christianity.
It ended with the triumph of Christianity over its rivals as the dominant new religion first for dissident Jews and then for Gentiles.
In this context, it is important that while the Dead Sea Scrolls are rolled pieces of parchment or papyrus containing the earliest-known versions of books of the Hebrew Bible and other texts – the traditional Jewish format for written work – these lead discoveries are in book, or codex, form which has long been associated with the rise of Christianity.
The codices seen by The Mail on Sunday range in size from smaller than 3in x 2in to around 10in x 8in. They each contain an average of eight or nine pages and appear to be cast, rather than inscribed, with images on both sides and bound with lead-ring bindings. Many of them were severely corroded when they were first discovered, although it has been possible to open them with care.
The codex showing what may be the face of Christ is not thought to have been opened yet. Some codices show signs of having been buried – although this could simply be the detritus resulting from lying in a cave for hundreds of years.
Unlike the Dead Sea Scrolls, the lead codices appear to consist of stylised pictures, rather than text, with a relatively small amount of script that appears to be in a Phoenician language, although the exact dialect is yet to be identified. At the time these codices were created, the Holy Land was populated by different sects, including Essenes, Samaritans, Pharisees, Sadducees, Dositheans and Nazoreans.
There was no common script and considerable intermingling of language and writing systems between groups. Which means it could take years of detailed scholarship to accurately interpret the codices.
Many of the books are sealed on all sides with metal rings, suggesting they were not intended to be opened. This could be because they contained holy words which should never be read. For example, the early Jews fiercely protected the sacred name of God, which was only ever uttered by The High Priest in the Temple in Jerusalem at Yom Kippur.
The original pronunciation has been lost, but has been transcribed into Roman letters as YHWH – known as the Tetragrammaton – and is usually translated either as Yahweh or Jehovah. A sealed book containing sacred information was mentioned in the biblical Book of Revelations.
One plate has been interpreted as a schematic map of Christian Jerusalem showing the Roman crosses outside the city walls. At the top can be seen a ladder-type shape. This is thought to be a balustrade mentioned in a biblical description of the Temple in Jerusalem. Below that are three groups of brickwork, to represent the walls of the city.
A fruiting palm tree suggests the House of David and there are three or four shapes that appear to be horizontal lines intersected by short vertical lines from below. These are the T-shaped crosses believed to have been used in biblical times (the familiar crucifix shape is said to date from the 4th Century). The star shapes in a long line represent the House of Jesse – and then the pattern is repeated.
This interpretation of the books as proto-Christian artefacts is supported by Margaret Barker, former president of the Society for Old Testament Study and one of Britain's leading experts on early Christianity. The fact that a figure is portrayed would appear to rule out these codices being connected to mainstream Judaism of the time, where portrayal of lifelike figures was strictly forbidden because it was considered idolatry.
If genuine, it seems clear that these books were, in fact, created by an early Messianic Jewish sect, perhaps closely allied to the early Christian church and that these images represent Christ himself. However another theory, put forward by Robert Feather – an authority on The Dead Sea Scrolls and author of The Mystery Of The Copper Scroll Of Qumran – is that these books are connected to the Bar Kokhba Revolt of 132-136AD, the third major rebellion by the Jews of Judea Province and the last of the Jewish-Roman Wars.
The revolt established an independent state of Israel over parts of Judea for two years before the Roman army finally crushed it, with the result that all Jews, including the early Christians, were barred from Jerusalem.
The followers of Simon Bar Kokhba, the commander of the revolt, acclaimed him as a Messiah, a heroic figure who could restore Israel. Although Jewish Christians hailed Jesus as the Messiah and did not support Bar Kokhba, they were barred from Jerusalem along with the rest of the Jews. The war and its aftermath helped differentiate Christianity as a religion distinct from Judaism.
The spiritual leader of the revolt was Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, who laid the foundations for a mystical form of Judaism known today as Kabbalah, which is followed by Madonna, Britney Spears and others. Yochai hid in a cave for 13 years and wrote a secret commentary on the Bible, the Zohar, which evolved into the teaching of Kabbalah. Feather is convinced that some of the text on
the codices carry the name of Rabbi Bar Yochai.
Feather says that all known codices prior to around 400AD were made of parchment and that cast lead is unknown. They were clearly designed to exist for ever and never to be opened. The use of metal as a writing material at this time is well documented – however the text was always inscribed, not cast.
The books are currently in the possession of Hassan Saida, in Umm al-Ghanim, Shibli, which is at the foot of Mount Tabor, 18 miles west of the Sea of Galilee.
Saida owns and operates a haulage business consisting of at least nine large flatbed lorries. He is regarded in his village as a wealthy man. His grandfather settled there more than 50 years ago and his mother and four brothers still live there.
Saida, who is in his mid-30s and married with five or six children, claims he inherited the booklets from his grandfather.
However, The Mail on Sunday has learned of claims that they first came to light five years ago when his Bedouin business partner met a villager in Jordan who said he had some ancient artefacts to sell.
The business partner was apparently shown two very small metal books. He brought them back over the border to Israel and Saida became entranced by them, coming to believe they had magical properties and that it was his fate to collect as many as he could.
The arid, mountainous area where they were found is both militarily sensitive and agriculturally poor. The local people have for generations supplemented their income by hoarding and selling archeological artefacts found in caves.
More of the booklets were clandestinely smuggled across the border by drivers working for Saida – the smaller ones were typically worn openly as charms hanging from chains around the drivers' necks, the larger concealed behind car and lorry dashboards.
In order to finance the purchase of booklets from the Jordanians who had initially discovered them, Saida allegedly went into partnership with a number of other people – including his lawyer from Haifa, Israel.
Saida's motives are complex. He constantly studies the booklets, but does not take particularly good care of them, opening some and coating them in olive oil in order to 'preserve' them.
The artefacts have been seen by multi-millionaire collectors of antiquities in both Israel and Europe – and Saida has been offered tens of millions of pounds for just a few of them, but has declined to sell any.
When he first obtained the booklets, he had no idea what they were or even if they were genuine.
He contacted Sotheby's in London in 2007 in an attempt to find an expert opinion, but the famous auction house declined to handle them because their provenance was not known.
Soon afterwards, the British author and journalist Nick Fielding was approached by a Palestinian woman who was concerned that the booklets would be sold on the black market. Fielding was asked to approach the British Museum, the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge and other places.
Fielding travelled to Israel and obtained a letter from the Israeli Antiquities Authority saying it had no objection to their being taken abroad for analysis. It appears the IAA believed the booklets were forgeries on the basis that nothing like them had been discovered before.
None of the museums wanted to get involved, again because of concerns over provenance. Fielding was then asked to approach experts to find out what they were and if they were genuine. David Feather, who is a metallurgist as well as an expert on the Dead Sea Scrolls, recommended submitting the samples for metal analysis at Oxford University.
The work was carried out by Dr Peter Northover, head of the Materials Science-based Archaeology Group and a world expert on the analysis of ancient metal materials.
The samples were then sent to the Swiss National Materials Laboratory at Dubendorf, Switzerland. The results show they were consistent with ancient (Roman) period lead production and that the metal was smelted from ore that originated in the Mediterranean. Dr Northover also said that corrosion on the books was unlikely to be modern.
Meanwhile, the politics surrounding the provenance of the books is intensifying. Most professional scholars are cautious pending further research and point to the ongoing forgery trial in Israel over the ancient limestone ossuary purporting to have housed the bones of James, brother of Jesus.
The Israeli archeological establishment has sought to defuse problems of provenance by casting doubt on the authenticity of the codices, but Jordan says it will 'exert all efforts at every level' to get the relics repatriated.
The debate over whether these booklets are genuine and, if so, whether they represent the first known artefacts of the early Christian church or the first stirrings of mystical Kabbalah will undoubtedly rage for years to come.
The director of Jordan's Department of Antiquities, Ziad al-Saad, has few doubts. He believes they may indeed have been made by followers of Jesus in the few decades immediately following his crucifixion.
'They will really match, and perhaps be more significant than, the Dead Sea Scrolls,' he says. 'The initial information is very encouraging and it seems that we are looking at a very important and significant discovery – maybe the most important discovery in the history of archaeology.'
If he is right, then we really may be gazing at the face of Jesus Christ.

Whatever it turns out to be, it could reveal alot about early Christianity. I wonder if that translation "Savior of Israel" will be confirmed anytime soon? Awesome post.
Dawkins thinks belief in God is an excuse to evade thinking in the scientific world. Sadly, he is ignorant to the list of christian scientists who have contributed & founded many of the sciences he himself believes in. How ironic.

I was just thinking about the binding. They bound it to last, that's for sure. And, lucky for us, it lasted. I often wonder how much has knowledge has disappeared or been destroyed throughout our history.

They might be forgeries, made in the last 50 years.
Welcome to the second installment of "Closer Look," a regular feature in which we'll scrutinize some recent high-profile claims and assess just how well they hold up.
Last time around we took on Donald Trump, Alan Greenspan, and BP. (It might not shock you to learn that none of their claims fared all that well.) This time, we'll take a look at lead codices that some say could shed light on early Christian history; claims about spending cuts in the budget just passed by Congress; and an assertion by President Obama about the origins of our deficit problem.
The lead codices: As we told you last month, some biblical scholars believe a trove of 70 lead codices that turned up five years ago in a remote cave in eastern Jordan may date from the 1st Century C.E. They say that references to the Messiah in the codices--which are made up of wirebound individual pages, roughly the size of a credit card--could bear invaluable testimony to the last days of Jesus' life. Much of the media ate the story up. "Never has there been a discovery of relics on this scale from the early Christian movement, in its homeland and so early in its history," reported the BBC.
But it's looking more and more like the codices are fakes. The "expert" who helped convince the media of that the codices might be authentic turns out to be a fringe figure at best. Meanwhile, Peter Thonemann, a prominent scholar of ancient history at Oxford University, found that two phrases of text in the codices came from an ordinary Roman tombstone on display in a museum in Jordan, suggesting that a forger had simply copied the lines from the tombstone. Thonemann pronounced the codices "a modern forgery, produced by a resident of Amman within the last fifty years or so." Other scholars have also cast serious doubt on the codices' authenticity.
In short, we can't say with absolute certainty that the codices are forgeries--but that's certainly what the balance of evidence suggests. So we've assigned the claim that the codices are an important new archaeological find to the second lowest level on our gauge--one step above flat-out bogus.

"Shekem_ur_Shekem" wrote: Ever wonder why none of these alleged ancient finds ever refutes currently held doctrine? Like, you can bet nothing will ever be found admitting there was no Jesus or he was just a regular guy people deified after his death, like they would've koresh or jeffs if they lived 2000 years ago?
It isn't likely that any find would contradict what we have today. Since what we have today is based on accurate, historical records of the live of Christ.
It's also no like that Koresh or Jeffs would ever be deified since neither has been seen alive after they were confirmed to be dead. Jesus was never deified by his followers. His Deity was realized by those who followed Him. There is a big difference.
