Film "Grace of Monaco" Monaco is like the imperial palace in Tokyo
A biographic story of Grace Kelly who left Hollywood when she was a top star and got married to the Monaco Prince.
I remember TV documentary on her life a long time ago. It was her family's philosophy that leaving the business when he or she is on the top ranking. Not letting anyone see you downgrading.
Indeed, she did.
The film was criticized for historical inaccuracies, so it was noted as fiction based on facts.
But I enjoyed the film because Nicole Kidman who played Grace Kelly was really beautiful.
I first learnt that Monaco's official language was French. The kingdom always had struggles with its fearful neighbor, France.
Maybe getting Grace Kelly married to the royal family was one of biggest strategy to secure their kingdom's soverignty.
Monaco never had military but such a big weapon, the world's most famous celebrity so that no one wanted to destroy the kingdom including her.
A country image is a big thing. Japan has monarchy, emperor Akihito and his family.
Their residence is size of Monaco. One family occupied huge area in the capital but they contribute a lot to the nation. Former emperor, late Hirohito was about to be accused of war criminal but the U.S. force did not indite him because of fear of rebellion from his people that might make occupation difficult.
The film made me think about Monaco whenever I go to the imperial palace in my city. Actually I am a guide who escorts foreign travelors to the imperial palace. If you want to know more about the tour, please visit this site.

My city to host 2020 summer olympic games, is it good news?
IOC announced Tokyo will host 2020 summer olympic. This will be second time Tokyo was awarded as host city. First time was 1964.
Many people celebrated this announcement. However, I cannot fully celebrate. I think it was good news but there are some problems related to this event.
Biggest criticism of Tokyo's hosting is that crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plants are still leaking contaminated water and no way to stop this is determined. Prime Minister Abe said contaminated water is perfectly blocked within fenced area. That was a lie. It is going beyond that area.
Many people should be worried that if visitors to Tokyo olympic including greate athletes are to be affected by radioactives. Nobody knows what is happening here 7 years later. That means that Japan must deal with this problem very fiercely since the world is watching carefully. We need to solve Fukushima issue very seriously rather than celebrating.
The other thing I do not like is that olympic games have become too commercial. The reason that Tokyo was chosen is that Tokyo has so much money. IOC hopes to get big sponsors' money.
In the old days like Japan hosted first olympic game in 1964, the opening day was October 10 to avoid heat of summer, now it is scheduled to open in July, hottest time of a year. I do not think it is appropriate time for athletes to mark good records. It is to get more viewers in summer than autumn.
Personally as I get older, I cannot enjoy sports events like younger days because I learn athletes are not heroes rather they are livestocks of states or corporations. Or they, themselves are just fake entertainers. Real entertainers are better to me because their job is to act to entertain audience, wheras athletes are supposed to play seriously and fairly which is usually opposite to reality.
Sports games shouldn't be business or too much spotlighted. Sports are just for health improvement and leisure. The only business athletes should make money of is to be a trainer or instructor of sports for players, who are doing this for health and leisure, not for glory, fame and money. No athletes shouldn't be too serious to get steroids in their bodies. Sports are not worth it.
In fact, for Tokyo and Japan olympic games are not as significant as we hosted first time in 1964 when Japan was aiming to be advanced nation after the defeat of war. Japan has become advanced and rich nation already. Japan hosted olympic 3 times before and the World Cup soccer games in 2002. Not very surprising. It was more like one of big international events. So what? Will this event boost economy? Not likely. After the game is over, business as usual, only that time like what happened after other olympic games. Just small portion of business people in very short period.
I do not care about what is happening in my city 7 years later. I may be moving somewhere else to escape from all the fuss.

Became a free walking tour guide for Imperial Palace
Today, I have become a guide for free walking tour guide for Imperial Palace in Tokyo.
Though I am not a professional guide but I speak English so I joined the volunteer activity.
It was nice. Today I and other two guides started the tour from Tokyo Station.
There were 10 people gathered at the exit. They were from Canada, Australia, Sweden and North Carolina (U.S.A).
After explaining to them history and current renovation plan of Tokyo Station, we took them to Tokyo's most famous tourist spot, Imperial Palace.
We explained to them how the castle was protected from invaders, such as surrounding mort, Stone Walls, Trap gate, and checkpoints.
We talked about middle age to modern time history of Japan as to how the country was developed into a unified nation.
It was sunny and hot day. They really seemed to enjoy the tour.
If you are living in Tokyo or have a chance to visit here, why don't you join the tour.
The tour is held every Saturday afternoon at 1PM. Gather at the Marunouchi central exit of Tokyo Station.
Straight-ahead is Imperial Palace.
See you there!!

Surprising Heavy Snow in Tokyo
I am showing you some great photos of Tokyo's snowing views.
I took some photos and video clips in Tokyo's most famous park "Shinjuku Gyoen (Shinjuku Garden)."
Heavy snow covered big turf field.
It was very cold but very amazing views.
The below photo is Chinese house in the park.
Next is Japanese garden and the skyscraper.
You can see the video clips on You Tube site, Tokyo Heavy Snowing. The first scene is the view of the city from balcony on the 11th floor of the building.
Compare with Tokyo's most beautiful Park, which is normal view of the park.

10 gin & tonics with a twist
Bored of the same old gin & tonic? Drinks expert Leon Dalloway gives us ten ways of sprucing up this classic mixed drink with spirits and fresh ingredients, turning it from your average tipple to a classy cocktail in mere moments.
When served correctly, gin & tonic sounds, looks, smells and tastes irresistible. But, if you want to take it to another level, the magnificent blueprint can be adapted easily. These ten simple serving suggestions use liqueur and fresh ingredients to complement the spirit and mixer combination.
For all the drinks, we recommend a 50ml serving of gin (if other spirit is added, decrease the amount of gin appropriately) and a 100ml serving of tonic water. This is 1:2 parts in cocktail terms. Use a nice long glass or even better, a large Spanish-style copa glass with a stem and a big mouth (any decent wine glasses will work for this). Fill the glass right to the top with some good quality ice and use straws if you wish. All tonic should be Indian tonic unless stated otherwise.
10 ways to makeover gin & tonic...
The Parisian
Take a herbal gin and pour a tablespoon of elderflower liqueur in. Add equal parts tonic water and champagne, garnish with a slapped sage leaf or two and a lemon wedge.
Too Cool
Use a gin with fresh cucumber notes and pair with an elderflower flavoured tonic then garnish with long ribbons of cucumber and a sprig of mint.
Mix equal parts of gin, sweet vermouth and Campari in a lowball glass, spritz it up with a tonic top and garnish with a big, juicy wedge of orange.
Posh G&T
Take a vibrant, citrussy gin and add a tablespoon of sweet vermouth. Add two dashes of peach bitters, top with tonic and garnish with a generous handful of luscious seasonal berries.
Sloe Down
Sloe gin combines ridiculously well with lemon tonic, flirt with a zest of lemon over the glass and drop it in.
Ol' Smokey
Marry a juniper-heavy gin with half a teaspoon of a super smokey whiskey. Add a dash of apricot liqueur and top with tonic, garnish with a chunky pink grapefruit zest.
Tonic Delight
Select a floral gin and add a tablespoon of rose water, a tablespoon of peach liqueur and a two dashes of grapefruit bitters. Go demure on the garnish and top with a rose petal.
Guilty Pleasure
Pour a herbal-style gin and grab a few leaves of fresh mint, slap them and drop them in. Pop in two dashes of mint bitters and a tablespoon of chocolate liqueur. Introduce the tonic then garnish with a few sprigs of mint and some luxurious grated dark chocolate.
Stuck in the Med
Pick up some intriguing herbaceous gin and introduce it to a Mediterranean-style tonic. Rim your glass with some herbed sea salt, slap some fresh rosemary and stand it tall in the glass.
The Evolver
Make some flavoured aqua by boiling some herbs in water for a minute or two. Let the water cool then freeze the water and add the ice cubes to a classic gin and tonic – the drink's flavour profile will evolve throughout the drinking. Garnish with the matching herbs for that extra special touch.
How do you serve your G&T? Do you like to keep things simple or do our cocktail makeovers float your boat? We have lots more liquid inspiration in our cocktails & drinks section too.

dear castle dwellers...
cloud chasers...readers...
resisters... friends...
There are a couple opportunities this summer to gather together for art making and viewing. I hope to see you somewhere.
hudson library workshops
the Hudson Library is pleased to present
your turn
collaborative art workshops
with Jacinta Bunnell & Cindy Hoose
51 N. 5th Street
Hudson, NY
Monday, JULY 17
Saturday, JULY 22
featuring work from the teaching artists & program participants
Friday, AUGUST 4
Jacinta Bunnell and Cindy Hoose have been collaborating for over a decade on various artistic projects. They spent one year making art with re-purposed game boards as canvases for their show your turn, dear, taking turns on the works in a manner reminiscent of Exquisite Corpse. Now, they want to share this process with YOU.
Hoose and Bunnell are inviting you to join them in the practice of making communal artwork. In addition to showing a selection of pieces from your turn, dear, they will be hosting two workshops at the Hudson Library to share their process of collaborative art-making. Through a series of exercises and game-inspired prompts, participants will work with one another using a mix of recycled materials and traditional art-making techniques. There is an element of play and adventure in the design of the workshops, where participants take turns, take chances, develop trust, and learn to make art without judgment. NO ARTISTIC EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.
Space is limited. Please register:
firstname.lastname@example.com or 518-828-1792 x101.
Jacinta Bunnell, Cindy Hoose, Erica Hauser, Stevan Jennis, and Jennifer Maher Coleman
July 14, 2017 - February 7, 2018
Albany International Airport Concourse Gallery
This exhibition features five artists whose work reflects a pictorial affection for unplugged play, relics of American identity, iconic childhood toys, and remnants of the pre-internet classroom. Some artifacts hold deeply personal memories, like Jacinta Bunnell's archive of her family's meticulously inscribed game records that form
the basis of her series 13. Stevan Jennis' paintings recall the essentials of classroom learning from a time before the World Wide Web: maps and charts, wooden rulers and film cameras. Erica Hauser's precise, graphic renderings of retro signs, architectural fragments and dreamy mid-century cars cross archetypes of a certain American era with a flat geometry that ultimately keeps them in the palpable past.
The exhibit will be beyond TSA security in the airport's concourse, so you can only see it if you are flying in or out of Albany. For more information, please contact the Art & Culture Program at 518.242.2241 or email@example.com.
i luv planned parenthood
When people of all incomes, sexual orientations, genders, and backgrounds have access to medical care and information that can directly alter the course of their lives, our communities thrive. Planned Parenthood has always been at the forefront of the movement for reproductive justice. For many people, Planned Parenthood is their first entryway to receiving any kind of health care at all.
Jacinta Bunnell and Rafael Perez, former health educators for Planned Parenthood of the Mid-Hudson Valley, are organizing a grassroots media campaign entitled #iluvplannedparenthood where people create iconic and bold hand-painted signs celebrating the contributions Planned Parenthood has made to their lives and their communities. You can view the collection of signs on their instagram page. Create your own sign and tag it #iluvplannedparenthood.
As always, you can support me directly by buying books and art through my etsy store. In preparation for the Albany Airport show, I listed some small works painted on vintage flashcards from the same collection that made its way to the Albany Airport show.

Some words are very powerful.
People will remember how you made them feel for much longer than anything else.
That's why words like "Your way is understandable" is so powerful. All of us wants to feel we're sensible. All of us want to feel we've done what we could with what we have. It's so EASY to forget that people are not bricks in a battlefield paper map moving exactly like ordered. It's easy to forget that choices look different when you're the one drawing a map for yourself and others doing something new in urgency compared to watching the completed map in a calm situation.
It's easy to feel like you would have done so differently yourself.
Sometimes it feels hard to accept the method of the path taken by someone else.
Yet, accept their way. Their reasoning goes a long way in creating a change. Accepting what's been and what it doesn't mean you have to accept the results OR hurts or things you see in your perspective along with their way, along with their path, along with your projection of their path.
Accepting is the starting point. Embracing what is, what has been. That's often the best way to push towards what may be. Toward the individual's potential. You CAN'T know other people's potential. Thinking you do would be limiting them to yours. And we get so mixed up with our own biases it's hard to see others for what they really are. Including ourselves.
So if we accept we CAN'T possibly know the potential of anyone else, why is it so important to help them feel acceptable?
Try stepping on other people's toes and you'd feel like a moron for not knowing a better way.
Doesn't HELP to volunteer that potential does it?
This comes very close to my old cast "that other way works just fine" – if you delegate on what to build, like a relationship AND develop your co-workers, you need to accept that it will not be done exactly like you've done it in the past. We're all unique. I won't go into stuff like policy, regulations, etc. Listen to that cast instead. Also, accepting where you came from is really a helpful way to make the best of the future.
So independent on HOW they did it, focus on the results you want and not on comparing the different ways of reaching it. It's easy to confuse ourselves, for example by ranking each individual choice between one another. The ranking between each other is ONLY relevant when everything else is equal in the matrix, and that will almost never happen. Focus on the metric of the results you want and compare each X to those results, ignoring the completion.
Same thing when selecting a new job among multiple offers.
Same thing when selecting a vendor among many.
Same thing when selecting a candidate from a pile of resumes.
Same thing when selecting a car among the brands.
Same thing for everything we do. It's so EASY to get biased within THOSE we select from that we sometimes forget what we need. If any of the above or below is what you need, but the best among the company is what you have listed. You have to accept there are candidates you are unaware of always. You might need to re-design your needs. Create something new of someone's state of the world currently.
Going back to embracing the potential. If we limit ourselves to saying well it's the best car/candidate/vendor from the list, we might end up with a great car that can't serve us when we're a full family. We have to compare our options to the need, not among the options.
A few quotes related to his cast, that might help you internalize these for your own benefits.
"Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts."
Albert Einstein
Embrace what is. Don't let yourself be fooled by your own biases, or of that bias someone else puts into your face by a ranking of anything.
"Accept the fact that we have to treat almost anybody as a volunteer."
Peter Drucker
Embrace what has been. Don't think you can step on someone's toes AND get their max potential at the same time.
Race doesn't chase – origin of quote unknown to me.
Aim to compare against the results and the outcome you want, independent of what other people do, don't do. Ignore what you think they think. Focus on the result FIRST to remain unbiased. THEN listen to other people's feelings etc. People are the ones creating results. Focus on people in the right way and you will get results AND happy people.
Are you where you want to be? How much of that "want" is yours and yours alone, and how much of it is biased by others lists and rankings? Imagine as well the ladders, ranks and similar metrics?
Do you know how to measure what's important to you in your next choice?

5 things I've learned opening a retail store
scenario #1 "Are you crazy in this economy? Stores have been closing left and right!"
scenario #2 "You've 'made it'! Congratulations!"
Funny thing is, I don't think scenario #1 or #2 applies to us. Here's why...
2. Opening a retail store isn't crazy, nor is it our definition of "making it". For us, it was a strategic move to continue to self-fund our expansion. The addition of retail to our existing wholesale, online and private label business has allowed us to grow our production space and crank out larger orders. It's given us a beautiful showroom and an opportunity to teach the community about the benefits of natural skincare made by hand, with local ingredients. Adding the retail component or "the icing on the cake" (as I've been referring to it) has helped pay for that expansion, without outside investors or loans.
3. I get face to face interaction with customers daily. This is invaluable. I can spend hours on twitter, facebook posts, our e-newsletter or this blog, but nothing takes the place of face to face interaction when someone is touching, smelling and experiencing your product. Conversation and feedback right at your fingertips daily-- that's priceless.
4. Everything is a learning experience. This isn't something new I've learned, but it has been a fabulous reminder (as if being an entrepreneur isn't) that there is something positive to take away from every situation. If something doesn't go as planned, I look at how, why, and what can I learn from this? Focusing on that helps frustration, disappointment or dare I say anger (I was there today :) get the better of me.
5. Multiple revenue streams are a key to success. Examining those streams and where the money is coming from help determine focus, therefore making me more productive.
I could keep going, but these are the most prominent in my mind after being open for 6 weeks. I'm sure I will continue to learn a million more things as we roll into the holiday season!

Couldn't agree with you more about customer interaction. Sometimes, that's the only thing that keeps me going!ReplyDelete
Making the most of even those frustrating and difficult moments is a huge challenge, but so important--thanks for the great reminder! Hope your retail expansion paves the way to even more growth, Kristin!ReplyDelete

A Londonderry man who won over £6 million on the lottery has appeared in court accused of domestic violence.
Ryan Magee, of Monnaboy Road, in Eglinton, faces four charges of common assault between August 1 and 2.
The charges relate to alleged assaults on a female.
The 34-year-old spoke only to confirm his details and that he understood the charges.
An investigating officer told Londonderry Magistrate's Court how he believed he could connect Magee to the charges.
Defence Counsel, Eoghan Devlin, confirmed that the case involved allegations of domestic violence and would require a full file.
Londonderry Magistrates' Court also heard that a withdrawal statement 'may be forthcoming' from the alleged injured party.
Mr Magee won over £6 million in the Euromillions back lottery in 2008.
In 2009 Magee was named as one of the 100 richest young people in the UK, at level pegging with top sports stars including golfer Graeme McDowell and footballer Robinho.

Santa Rosa, Cordillera Raura. Tom Frost, Charles Grossbeck and I spent June in Peru preparing for a climbing-filming expedition to the Cordillera Raura. The National Geographic Society, in conjunction with the Colorado Outward Bound School, was planning to film the climb of an Andean peak by 19 inexperienced students. Selecting Santa Rosa (18,758 feet), the highest in the range, as our objective, we located a reasonably safe but long route up the north face. On June 27, the 19 students, three Outward Bound instructors and a filming crew of 12 arrived in Lima and in a few days were established at Base Camp below Santa Rosa's north icefield. Unseasonably bad weather grounded us for a week. Outward Bound staff, Terry Burnell, Matt Wells and Jim Koons, worked with their students and eventually two camps were placed high on the mountain. On July 14 and 15, two days of magnificent Andean sunshine, several teams of climbers and filmers pushed the last 1000 feet to Santa Rosa's summit, 27 in all, some more than once. The following days were spent cleaning the mountain. All fixed lines, unused supplies and trash were removed. Unlike the goals of most mountaineering endeavors, our concern was with the educational experience derived from the expedition, the mountain and the interaction of the participants. The feeling of a 17-year-old Puerto Rican from Chicago standing on the glistening, wind-blown summit of Santa Rosa must be surely no less than that of another jubilantly treading the last few feet to the top of Fitz Roy.

The juxtaposition was unintended when I shot these images, but having written about the problems of a scheme to transform the Liverpool skyline with shiny skyscrapers, I have a set of images that I captured outside Liverpool Street Station in London… of shiny skyscrapers.
There was one in particular that I came to shoot; the others just happened to be in the vicinity, and it would have been rude not to include them.
Leading the way for this brave new world of glass and steel was the Lloyds Building. Designed by Lord Rogers, it took inspiration from France's Pompidou Centre by placing utilities and services on the outside of the building, but upped the ante by doing it with a greater degree of style and panache. This is more than a glass box; it is a structure with texture; curves and spirals to contrast with hard edges, and at its heart, an 18th century committee room, designed by Robert Adam and brought here from the building's predecessor piece by painstaking piece. What's more the structure even has a role in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy where it is now on the planet Xandar!
The Lloyds Building is neighboured by the Willis Building, a place that doesn't have the same impact, but at least in its concentric arcs provides a nice surface for interesting reflections.
Soon they'll be joined by The Scalpel, (surely the market in sharp and pointy has already been cornered by The Shard?) and of course we're in the same vicinity as The Cheesegrater, and The Walkie-Talkie! (Does it take as many consultants to name these buildings as to draw up the blueprints?).
What's interesting is that there's nothing so new about this. The Victorians were at it with glass and steel a century earlier than Richard Rogers, as can be seen from the roof of Liverpool Street Station, and right next to Lloyds in Leadenhall Market, a space so enchanting that they ran the 2012 Olympic marathon through it!
But enough digression. When I first came to this part of London a dozen years or so ago the race for the skies was not going at such a pace, but there was one rather curious shape making it's presence felt. Similar in some ways to Barcelona's Torre Agbar, but more graceful and far less sexual. Here the glass has more purpose, the reflections created on these gentle curves producing something far more abstract and interesting than the flat planes of those that surround it. 30 St Mary Axe is the work of another architectural Lord; Norman Foster. Both it's silhouette, and the swirling patterns that culminate at its apex give it a far more organic and friendly aspect than the rigid forms nearby, and that organic nature continues in this structure's nickname. Welcome to The Gherkin.

Some criteria that determine insurance cost are fixed, and some are variable. Having higher deductibles on your policy will lower the cost of the premiums. The information below will give you the answers to lowing your cost on auto insurance.
Make sure to research insurance costs when you are purchasing a car. Your insurance agent can advise you on the models of cars that can save you money on your premiums. Knowing the amount of insurance you will need to pay ahead of time can help in your choice of a new or used car. Your insurance premiums will be a lot lower if you make sure your new car is one with an excellent safety rating.
To save money on insurance, ride public transportation or ride with co-workers. By reducing the amount of mileage you are traveling, your insurance company is going to be impressed by your responsible attitude. If you let your agent know that you have changed your driving habits, you may be eligible for a discount.
When you are shopping around for auto insurance, get quotes from many companies. It is quite surprising just how much variance there is when it comes to this product. By checking insurance rates yearly, you can be sure you're paying as little as possible for your insurance. You should be sure that you are getting the right coverage when researching insurance companies.
Standard car insurance policies insure the driver, not the vehicle itself. Many people will let friends drive their car and if the friend gets in a car accident, the insurance will not pay. Car insurance policies can be purchased at a higher premium, that include allowing other licensed drivers to operate your vehicle.
Think twice about spending big bucks for after-market equipment for your car. You don't need heated seats or fancy stereos. You may not be able to have your insurer reimburse you if you are in an accident or your car is stolen.
Do not pay the monthly payments for insurance; do it quarterly. Your auto insurance company may add three to five dollars to your premium. The money wasted here adds up fast. Adding another payment to your monthly bills can create a hassle. The less payments you have to make, the better.
Having sufficient insurance can protect someone should they ever have an accident. A deductible is what you have to pay towards the repair of your vehicle.
Try dropping some of the coverage you do not need. By way of illustration, those with old cars of minimal value may consider dropping collision coverage from their policy. Remove this coverage from your insurance and you could save a large amount every month. Comprehensive and liability are other aspects of your insurance that you can look into removing or raising deductibles for.
As stated at the beginning of this piece, you have influence over a number of factors that determine your insurance premiums. The area in which you live, your driving history and your annual driving mileage are all controllable factors. By educating yourself on these factors, you can bring your insurance down to a price that you can happily live with.…

Interview from the Edge published by Bloomsbury
Three of the interviews I conducted for the New Orleans Review will be published in Interviews from the Edge: 50 Years of Conversations about Writing and Resistance. The book, out in March 2019, is currently available for pre-order.
In the publisher's words:
"Interviews from the Edge presents a selection of conversations, drawn from 50 years of the international journal New Orleans Review, that dive head-first into the most enduring aesthetic and social concerns of the last half-century.
From reflections on the making of literature and films to personal accounts of writing inside racial divides and working against capital punishment, the writers, poets, and activists featured in this book offer not only a fresh perspective on our present struggles but also perhaps a way through them for writers and readers alike.
Interviewees include John Ashbery, James Baldwin, Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Gaines, Valerie Martin, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Anais Nin, Sister Helen Prejean, and Bertrand Tavernier, among many others."

You can make a more complex filtered search or rule by adding more than one filter. Start by adding your first filter and then:
Create another type of filter
Let's also create another filter for location, one that focuses on orders from Vermont (VT) or New Hampshire (NH).
Step 1 — In the field, enter "Billing State", then click Billing State in the listing.
Step 2 — Let's add two states to this filter. One of those states is Vermont, so enter "VT" in the field and and click the + button.
The other state is New Hampshire, so enter "NH" in the field and click the + button.
Click the Add Filter button to save this as a new filter.
The rule now contains two filters.

There are two services offered by any publisher:
- to help you learn what others have written
- to help you show to others what you have written.
These are the two sides of the publishing business.
A long time ago, the main reason for the existence of publishers was to spread knowledge, i.e. to offer the first service. They used to multiply the author's work and to distribute it to libraries and bookstores.
Libraries and bookstores offered the space for the books to be examined by the people. Some of the books sold well, some not. Some books impressed a selected few, who then wrote other books which sold well. And so on and so forth.
Publishers, libraries and bookstores used to be a very efficient medium of spreading and selecting viable info.
But now, when publish is a button, it looks like the second service is more wanted. Now the publishers offer to authors the service of giving an authority stamp to … anything an author writes. The publishers seek the profit from their main clients, the authors.
Libraries and bookstores, the previous partners, try to find a way to survive. Because publishers no longer need readers.

LaVar Ball. Kevin Hart. Sitting in ice baths together, talking about any old thing that comes to their minds. If it sounds like the recipe for peakridiculousness, well, you're in luck—the actual product is even better.
The Ball family patriarch and Grammy-nominated comedian hopped in ice baths for Hart's new show, Cold As Balls, which premiered Wednesday on the Laugh Out Loud Network and is produced by OBB Pictures.
If Hart's goal was to highlight the absolute peak of absurd hilarity, he could not have chosen a better partner for the premiere. The video begins with Hart (jokingly) complaining about being unable to book Lonzo, before delving immediately into an interview that words cannot do justice.
Highlights include LaVar revealing his least favorite son (sorry, LaMelo), his high school basketball stardom (we're still looking for some proof) and roughly a thousand GIF-able moments.

St Thomas' School
While you're busy running this mad race, slow down and think, is it even worth it?
Amidst all this turmoil of running for forms and demand drafts and making huge career decisions, I feel inadequate with whatever we have because there is someone still ahead of you in the race. But I strongly believe that no matter what we achieve in life, we must strive to be happy and satisfied. So, while you're busy running this mad race, slow down and think to yourself, is it worth compromising your present for your future?
When we reach Class 9, they say it's the most vital class and if we give our best, the remaining three years become slightly easier. Then in Class 10, we're told that being the first year of public examination, we must take it seriously now. Then in Class 11, they say is the first leap towards building a successful career, and unlike the rest, we must work hard now. In Class 12, the words, 'it's now or never', are constantly told and re-told. This process just doesn't end, when you are in college, or are looking for a job or are working; there is always this one more step to take.
We must work hard, yes — give our best shot in everything. But then whatever the results are, we must not miss out on the beautiful visions on the way. Live the moment because it's important to keep it real!

09 Nov 5 Reasons You Need To Change Now
One morning last week I was taking a pre-dawn run in Charleston, SC. As I plodded up to the Federal Court House on Broad St., usually a pretty desolate place at that time in the morning, I spotted five television trucks: One from CNN, one from FOX national and three remote trucks from local stations.
Two reporters stood bathed in light in the otherwise dark courtyard doing live remotes. The time was approximately 5:45 a.m. No newspaper people were to be seen and several local stations also were missing.
The reporters were there to cover the jury selection in the Walter Scott shooting trial in which a former North Charleston policeman is accused of murder in the shooting death of Scott, an allegedly unarmed black man. The event made the nightly news last year. Of course, there was no news at 5:45. It would be hours before the courthouse even opened.
Who knows what the reporters found to say. However, they were there with good reason. People getting up in the morning, getting ready for work, and getting to work are among the biggest news consumers — in print, on television, via social media and especially on their mobile devices.
The TV news folks on site got it right. The rest of us need to change our ways. Now! Here are five reasons why:
- Mobile is now
As an industry we constantly talk about how mobile is the future. The problem is: The future is now. According to comScore, mobile already represents 65 percent of digital media time. Next year 75 percent of all internet traffic will come from mobile devices, according to a new forecast from Zenith.
Just like in the early days of the internet when we shoveled print content onto our websites, we are shovel-waring content from the desktop onto mobile devices. Unfortunately, mobile is a "me" medium. Consumers use mobile for what they want when they want it. So what we need is a mobile strategy designed around how people use their mobile devices.
- We need to be there when the customer is
When someone wakes up in the morning it is not unusual for them to check their smart phone as one of the first things they do. As news organizations, we need to be aware of when readers are looking for information and the kinds of information they seek at different times during the day.
Our newest and best stories need to be posted according to our readers' schedules, not ours. If that means having a team on-site streaming video at 5:45 in the morning or right before they go to bed at midnight, so be it.
- Every important story should be presented as video (and text)
According to the Pew Research Center, 46 percent of U.S. adults prefer to watch news rather than read it (35 percent) or listen to it (17 percent). This suggests that television has a huge edge, but not so fast. Mobile devices are video devices. Moreover, while TV has loads of video, video does not do particularly well in search, which is still a vital source of eyeballs today. The highest and best combination is for every story to be presented as a video and as a story.
Before you say we don't have the time, money or expertise to do that, consider the reporters standing in front of the court house above. They stood in front of the cameras and offered a 2-minute (maximum) overview of the story. It is not rocket science, nor do you need a videographer and sound man as well as a reporter any longer.
The video and text should complement each other, not be the same. The video can be the above 2-minute summary, while the text can offer a more in-depth picture and thoughtful analysis. Both have their place and audience. This works for mobile. It works for search. And it maximizes eyeballs.
And while you may not be able to find a sponsor in advance to fund your coverage of stories like the Walter Scott case, you can find a sponsor to fund "The 10 Surefire Steps to a Perfect Thanksgiving Turkey" (local supermarket) or "Hot Crowd-Pleasing Trends in Holiday Entertaining" (local cookware/tabletop store), etc.
- Journalists want an audience
I recently had a great discussion with two seasoned reporters. They were asking me, a former journalist what I had learned from native advertising. We talked about how social media is turning minds into mush as everyone is barraged by too much information of all sorts. We talked about how insignificant topics often deliver more clicks than heavy-weight investigative pieces. We talked about what to do about it.
One of them suggested that the headline on an analysis of the Walter Scott case should be: Six things we learned from Walter Scott. His headline was spot on, yet most newsrooms still insist on headlining important stories with weighty, serious headlines and would not consider making an analysis sound like a listicle.
The point is no journalist gets into the business to become rich and famous. They don't just want to tell a story. They want to change the world because they tell a story. They want to be heard. And they are more than willing to adapt and change in order to reach an audience.
- Social media is the news outlet for millions
I love my print newspaper. I even like watching the news on TV and listening to the news on NPR. I am old as you can tell from my media preferences. According to the Pew Research Center, 62 percent of Americans get news on social media, up from 49 percent in 2012.
Although people often think of Twitter when they think of news, Facebook reaches 67 percent of U.S. adults, compared to 16 percent for Twitter. The Pew study found that 44 percent of the general population gets its news from Facebook compared to about 10 percent for Twitter.
The good news is that most news organizations use social media to get the word out about their stories. However, the bad news is that these posts are most often done on the media company's schedule with little or no regard to social media usage patterns. This needs to change.
Obviously, breaking news needs to be posted in real time to the extent possible. However, news analysis and features can and should be posted when people are most likely to be accessing their social media accounts.
Oh and by the way, Facebook just reported that third-quarter profits more than doubled, mostly fueled by mobile ad products. It makes sense not only to use Facebook, but also to emulate what Facebook is doing.
Ever place an ad on Facebook yourself? It is unbelievably easy to create a nice-looking, low-cost, highly targeted Facebook ad online. How easy is that to do on your media site?

The Serpico Mixes: The Hypothetical Disc
In a joint collaboration with my weekday roommate and Bronx ally Skip Serpico, I'll be discussing a mix CD a week. He makes them, I listen to them and provide my in the moment commentary. You, hopefully, read said commentary and maybe open up your musical horizons. You can come here every week for the Serpico Mixes. And you should also visit Skip's site, Fission Spaghetti, for his musings on food and Saturday Night Live (and more!)
Mix #39
Theme: Hypothetical
"If It's A Lie Then We Fight On That Lie": Dialogue from The Wire- Sounds like someone recorded the Bush Administration, am I right people? OOOOOOOOOOO, cutting political commentary from this guy!
If I Were President by The Pharcyde- A germ of a song. Fun but barely there.
If I were President?: I'd be constantly frustrated by an obstructionist opposition party and get little to nothing done. So, like, completely different than now.
If I Was Your Girlfriend by Nicole Wray- There's something about Wray's voice throughout most of this song that just hit my ears so wrong. The exception is when she goes breathy or speak sings as in "I will be your number one supplier." I like the vocals better there and I get a kick out of the simple rhyme.
If I was your girlfriend?: There would be so many things confusing about that situation.
If Your Girl Only Knew by Aaliyah- Competent, if uninteresting, R&B driven by a Aaliyah. There's nothing wrong here, but there's nothing that really goes the extra bit either.
If your girl only knew?: She'd think, wow, my guy has a really cool friend. I had no idea he was cool enough to hang with Tim. I may be misinterpreting what this song is about.
If I Was Your Girlfriend by Prince- I want a mashup of this and the Counting Crows "If I Was A Girl." It would be a musical disaster but so worth it.
Anyway, this song is all about the speak song at the end where Prince tries to negotiate himself into a hookup. It is a thing of spectacular desperation. I find myself super intrigued by how the guy's mind works though.
If I was your girlfriend?: I don't think it would work anything like this guy in this song seems to think it would. I assume it would be a lot less nudity and a lot more, "I don't know…where do you want to go tonight?" and occasional discussions about Ryan Gosling.
If You Don't, Don't by Jimmy Eat World- Love, love, love this song. This whole album is the soundtrack of my first visit to Phoenix, the childhood home state of my then girlfriend and current wife. I mean, it is good besides that, but the emotional connection means it has an indelible place in my heart.
If you don't, don't?: I'm not even sure what you're saying right now. Why can't we ever just talk clearly to one another?
If I Had a Tail by Queens of the Stone Age- A strangely menacing offering from Queens that sounds like a Talking Heads b-side. I dig their vibe and I dig it hear, even if there's a bit of wall of sound swallowing the vocals at points.
If I had a tail?: I have no idea. Is it prehensile or vestigial or just for decoration? I need clearer parameters here.
Although, regardless of the answer, I think I feel safe saying hilarity would ensue.
If You Want Me To Stay by Sly and the Family Stone- A fun offering from the deep 70's. I'm not sure it is funk, per se, but I enjoy the beat and the sense of playfulness in Sly's vocals.
If you want me to stay?: You need to speak up. But like, before now. I have other responsibilities, you know. Oh, come on. Don't cry. Of course I'd love to hang out, but I need more notice, dude.
If I Ruled the World by Nas- Wait, did he just say "no welfare supporters"? What the hell is that supposed to mean, Nas? How the hell did I miss that until now? I mean, I always thought the "no rubbers" line was pretty problematic but this isn't great either.
Problematic or not though, this is awesome. You know it is. Everyone knows it. The message is a mess, but the song is undeniably compelling.
If I ruled the world?: Oh, you'll see. In time, all of you will see!
If You Like Fluff, Fluff, Fluff by the Horror that is the Disembodied Voice of Marshmallow Fluff - Speaking of problematic messages…
Fluffernutters sandwiches are gross. I couldn't get past that reality to feel anything besides that about this song.
If you like fluff, fluff, fluff?: Unless you are talking in your hot chocolate than you sir are no friend of mine.
If I Am a Stranger by Ryan Adams and The Cardinals- I experience a discord between the music and the vocalist here. It does not make a lot of sense but they don't "fit" together in my head. I can't reconcile them.
Odder still, I do like the song. I'm just not sure I wouldn't like it more if the two elements fit better together.
Oh, and it is definitely too long. I sort of zoned out at one point and thought we might've gone on to another song because that much time seemed to have passed.
If I am a stranger?: Then I probably shouldn't be here. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to crash your wedding. Congratulations to you both though. Beautiful ceremony.
If You Can't Sleep by She & Him- Is she pitching this as a nice thing or threatening me? Is she more Sandman or Freddy Krueger?
Either way, not for me. I don't care for the "oooo" chorus, the minimalistic music, or her barely singing vocals.
If you can't sleep?: Then just lay in bed and read quietly. You don't have to nap but you do need to spend an hour, at least, of quiet time. Mommy and Daddy need a break, ok?
If I Die Tomorrow by Joe Budden- Speaking only for myself, I'm fairly scared of dying. Not like actively, it could happen any moment (although it could. Never forget that. The Grim Reaper stalks us all!), but in the sense of "yeah, any way I could not do that?" So, I have a tremendous respect for Budden's attitude here. It's admirable, especially because it's not resignation. It's not "well, whatever, it's going to happen so why not now?" it's "I don't want to, but if it does happen, I've lived my life in such a way that it'll be ok." That impresses me.
But oh my God! 6 minutes?!?!? SIX?!!!! Never ok. NEVER!
If I die tomorrow?: Look can we may not talk about this right now?
If You Leave me Now by Chicago- Ugh. No. Terrible. TERRIBLE!
If you leave me now?: Oh, I should be so lucky.
If I Could Change Your Mind by Haim- I get a definite Castle in the Sky vibe here. Or mall pop. But better.
I definitely get a nostalgia contact high off it.
If I could change your mind?: Then we could totally get a laser tag course in the basement, right? Oooo, or an in-ground pool? Or maybe both? No, no, seriously, hear me out.
If You Could Read My Mind Johnny Cash- "You know that ghost is me." Whoa! Spoilers there, Cash! Damn!
Admonishments aside, this is a cover that's good, but not great. It spends the entire time in second gear when I really wish he'd bite into it and give it some angst or anguish. This seems more like a drive-by.
If you could read my mind?: I am so sorry in advance. I'm not normally this much of a mental trash bag, I promise.
If You've Got the Time by Miller High Life's Advertising Company- Decent jingle. It's not Saint Ides though.
If you've got the time?: Can you please take out the trash? It's such a mess.
If I Could Believe by Elvis Costello- I like my Elvis Costello a bit more sarcastic and biting. His voice even sounds a bit off to me here.
If I could believe?: And what, be a sheeple like the rest of you. No thanks. I'm a lone wolf. I make my own way.
If It Makes You Happy by Sheryl Crow- Rememeber when Sheryl Crow sang "All I Wanna Do"? I miss that Crow. I didn't even really like that song, but I'm still nostalgic for it. The ravages of age, I suppose. This offering from her second album is another lukewarm one for me, but I think that might just be because I don't love Sheryl Crow.
If it makes you happy?: I suppose that would make you a bit of freak, wouldn't it? I mean that will all due respect, of course.
If It Wasn't for You by Handsome Boy Modeling School-The opening if this song is good. It gets me. About damn time someone or something did.
Sadly, I lost interest in the song quickly after that. It seems like a sweet song but not all that engaging.
If it wasn't for you?: Oh man, where to begin?
If it's The Beaches by The Avett Brothers- Mournful but I'm never really sure what I'm mourning for. The song nicely conveys the sadness but the plot, as it was, never seems to sink in. It's a bit emotionally hollow or emotionally facile as a result.
If it's The Beaches?: Well, it's actually just Beaches. No definite article. And if it is Beaches, well then you better prepare for a powerful performance from one Mayim Bialik.

We spent the U.S. Fourth of July holiday at the Home Depot Center, where we watched a great soccer match between the LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders. The Home Depot Center is extra special to us because it's a Boingo-managed hotspot! We got online with our iPhone, iPad and Android smartphone to upload video clips to Facebook, watch replays on ESPN and send photos to our friends. Watch the video above for a play-by-play of our adventures.

Pierce County BackFlows
1. A Pierce county utility customer called stating the customer was taking a shower in their upstairs bathroom and lost all water. When the utility responded they found that the Fire Department was on the scene at the neighbor's home, fighting a home fire. The fire department was using the hydrant, and they failed to pay attention to their pressure gauges. They pumped the water so fast they dropped the system pressure down below the legal 20 psi, and the neighboring house had all of its water sucked out!
2. A Pierce county utility, that does not chlorinate their water, was surprised when a customer called to complain about chlorine in their water. An inspection test of the water at the home, confirmed the presence of chlorine in the residential water. It was discovered that a neighbor had been filling their pool with water and the pool had been heavily chlorinated. They had left the fill hose in the pool and still attached to the hose bib. A drop in water pressure had occurred in the neighborhood and back-siphonage to the local water main had taken place.
3. The management of Seven-Eleven complained of a bad taste in the soda and coffee. Pierce County water utility responded immediately. The carbonate was malfunctioning causing CO2 to enter the water lines. Cross Connection Specialist shut off the water and the store manager called Southland Corporation maintenance. It is unknown how this backflow occurred. The manager of the store said the canister of CO2 was a new. Upon inspection there was a CO2 leak, as the canister of CO2 was almost empty causing a siphonage event. Southland Corporation has since installed backflow devices in all their stores.
4. Pierce County utility received a call from the management of convenience store regarding a metallic taste in the soda machine. The RPBA had just been installed on the soda machine by a plumber. All water lines and the soda machine were flushed until the taste was gone. After discussing the problem with the plumber, it was determined that a backflow incident had occurred when the RPBA was installed on the water line. The soda machine had been left on causing a backflow of CO2 mixed with water to enter the soda machine, the water travelled from a copper line making this a high hazard. Fortunately, no one ingested any of this soda. The utility is now aware that these soda machines and carbonator's must be shut down while being worked on.
5. A Pierce County Utility received a call from a dental clinic stating that they were experiencing air in the water at the dental chairs. The dental clinic was required to have the premise isolation RPBA tested immediately while the utility CCS team inspected the dental clinic. The complexity of the dental clinics vacuum pump and air pump systems required the dental clinics contractor which maintains that system to come in immediately to trouble shoot those systems. The premise isolation RPBA passed its test. It was identified by the contractor which maintains the vacuum and air systems that an electric control valve failed which pushed air into the water systems at the dental chairs. Additional in-premise protection was advised to be installed. The backflow incident was contained within the dental clinic only.
6. A Pierce County Utility received a call from a customer stating that the water tasted bad, but it was only bad from the kitchen faucet. The utility CCS inspected the property and identified that the customer had a garden hose connected to the hose bib located below the kitchen window. The hose bib was in the on position. At the end of the hose the customer had a timer to water their garden at night. During the daytime the sun was heating the garden hose which caused thermal expansion of the water within the hose. Once the customer was instructed by the utility CCS what they suspected was the cause of the bad tasting water, corrections were made by the customer. A follow-up call to the customer was made to verify if the removal of the hose from the hose bib took care of the bad tasting water. The customer confirmed that it did. The suspected backflow incident appeared to be contained to the customer's kitchen area of the house only.
7. A Pierce County Utility received a call from a customer stating that they were going to repair a leak at their house. They asked for assistance from our utility serviceman because they turned the water off at the Premise Isolation RPBA after the meter, but it seemed like the valve was leaking by because they couldn't bleed the pressure off. Upon arrival our utility serviceman verified that the meter and RPBA were turned off. The customer then remembered that they use utility water to prime the irrigation pump, which pumps water out of the lake to irrigate their lawn. By the time the customer realized what they had done; Lake Water had been pumped throughout the customer's house plumbing. The customer turned off the hose which was connected from the house hose bib to a hose bib on the irrigation pump head. Disinfection and flushing of the customer's home plumbing and a new test of the customers RPBA were required. If this property had not been identified in the past as having an Auxiliary Water Supply the public water system would have been at risk. This is a great example as to why all properties should be inspected. If there wasn't a cross connection identified last year at a property it doesn't mean something has not changed on the property since then.

RIVAL councillors have demanded that civic chiefs immediately reopen a controversially-closed respite centre full-time, as carers continue in their struggle to find alternative care.
But city leaders are holding back on the Kentish Road calls, claiming they cannot pledge to fully reopen it until after a 'future-plan' has been completed.
Currently the centre, which was reopened under council control in May – after its closure in November last year, offers weekend and emergency respite care.
But carers say this is not enough, and there aren't enough alternative provisions – despite the authority claiming there is.
At the city council's scrutiny meeting on Thursday evening, October 11, Conservative members said that the centre should be opened seven-days-a-week while this plan takes places – even if at a reduced capacity of four beds.
They added that the authority's new budget plan, which was released on Monday, includes additional cash to allow it to open Kentish Road – or a similar-sized eight-bed respite centre – full-time.
Speaking at the meeting, Tory leader Dan Fitzhenry quizzed adult social care Labour cabinet member Lorna Fielker about the council's running of Kentish Road.
He said: "Maybe I am missing something. We have allocated the money that would cover opening it full-time.
"The leader [Chris Hammond] has already committed to to opening it at weekends, but why can't he go another step further?
"Why don't we open the site immediately with a four-bed provision and continue the consultation?"
Cllr Fielker responded: "I cannot commit to that. I am not able to do it.
"I don't have the information [to hand, that] shows we can do that."
She added: "I think it would be great to open it seven days a week. But at this moment in time we have not committed to that, but it is an option on the table.
"My view is that I would like to offer seven-day respite at the centre, but I cannot guarantee that as it's not my decision alone."
Paul Juan, service director for adults, housing, and communities, said: "It is not open at the moment because it's deemed that there's sufficient alternatives for respite care elsewhere in the city."
Regarding the budgeted cash, he added: "The money is the cost of running an eight-bed, round-the-clock respite facility. We felt it prudent to allow for that in the budget to have the full cost of the scheme ready to use – if the decision to reopen the site full-time [following the consultation – which will work with carers and local groups] was made."
The call will go to Southampton City Council's Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, October 16, where it will be decided if it will be answered.

Wow!!!!!!!!!! Excellent wallpaper! Everything blends so well with everything... hehehe ^_^'
bucket-shot Apr 24, 2005
Hehe~ you're right, it's blurry. :) But they way you blended the effects covered it quite well - it looks like it's supposed to be that way. XD Hehehe~<3 Very nice work. Obviously, love the colours and the mood. You've maintained those from the original piccy nicely (haa.. these unknowns are just way too cool..).
I would've recommended doing something a little more to the text - eg. a vertical Wind effect (er.. assuming photoshop here ^_^') or something... but then again, simplicity is nice. :) And the only other thing I'll say is - there's a patch of random skin (i think?) at his neck that looks like it's just sticking out of the black. I'd filter/blend it in a bit more... or get rid of it altogether (it's not really necessary, after all.. ^_^').
Aaanyways! Enough of my rambling. XD Slick KH wall~<3 (the original kh is my favourite game so far) Nice job. *waits for KH2 like the rest of us..*
VagrantDreamer Apr 25, 2005
i dunno why i but this one caught my eye instantly XD love the effects too :D

It took some effort, but the judges finally narrowed down an impressive list of nominations to five finalists. And in a few weeks, the list will be furthered narrowed down, to just one name, who will become the 2013 YachtWorld Hero.
Since 2011, Dominion Marine Media has recognized individuals that use their love and respect for boating and the environment to make a difference. The 2012 award was accepted on behalf of all 10 nominees by Dusty McCoy, Chairman and CEO of the Brunswick Corporation, who chatted with editorial director John Burnham at length before the awards ceremony. (Watch the Dusty McCoy Interview: Talking YachtWorld Heroes.)
Choosing this year's finalists, founder of YachtWorld and YachtWorld Heroes Jessica Muffett explained, was a challenge. "We had such great nominees, it was very difficult to choose just five, and the judges all had diverse ideas about what made a 'hero.' Ultimately, though, five rose to the top."
The five 2013 YachtWorld Heroes finalists are:
Joel Aberbach volunteers with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Sea Partners, an environmental education and outreach program focused on developing awareness of maritime pollution issues and marine environmental protection regulations. Joel started the program in the Miami-Dade community decades ago, and over the past 40 years he has volunteered over 25,000 hours of his time.
Betsy Alison is the Paralympic coach for the U.S. Sailing Team Sperry Top-Sider and in 2011 was inducted into the US Sailing Hall of Fame. Through her work with elite athletes, she has helped to build bridges between those with disabilities and those who are able bodied, building a greater sense of community and understanding.
Dieter Paulmann, founded Okeanos to focus attention on "those individuals and communities that are making positive steps to heal our oceans and to reconnect us with the sea." A fleet of seven vaka moana sailing canoes, sailing as one and crewed from many nations, traveled 20,000 miles to raise awareness about what is happening in our ocean and planet. The story of this spectacular voyage can best be seen by viewing the trailer of their soon-to-be-released movie, Our Blue Canoe.
David Rockefeller, Jr., founder of Sailors for the Sea, is an avid sailor with a life-long love of the ocean. He's also a philanthropist with a keen interest in environmental issues, and Sailors for the Sea was designed to educate the boating community about ocean health issues and help boaters to protect the waters we all love.
Jeanne Socrates completed a singlehanded, nonstop circumnavigation at the age of 70. Her accomplishment proves that perseverance is more important than age or gender, no matter how physical the challenge.
Learn more about the YachtWorld Hero finalists
The winner will be announced during the 2014 Miami Boat Show in February. "Selecting the top 2013 Hero was almost as hard," added Muffett, "Though we were all very pleased with the result."

The genetic fingerprint
The biology of a melanoma and the defense response within the skin differ from individual to individual. Therefore, your treatment should also be tailored to your individual needs. Once MelaGenix has provided you with knowledge of your personal relapse risk, your physician can decide whether treatment is necessary.
Standard procedure:
Histological tissue examination
New: More precise prognosis by
Even after the complete surgical removal of a melanoma, about 15% of all patients are not permanently cured. Individual tumor cells can spread, causing a relapse. This affects also patients who have been diagnosed with an early stage of cutaneous malignant melanoma.
Your genes have an impact on your disease. Therefore standard tissue examination cannot safely predict the course of your disease and your relapse risk. The MelaGenix gene expression test captures the genetic fingerprint (signature) of your melanoma and your surrounding skin tissue to precisely assess your relapse risk.
MelaGenix helps you and your physician to make the best possible decisions regarding further melanoma treatment and follow-up.
