The LUS provides independent advice on university-wide policies that concern all topics of relevance to students. It also awards the LUS Teaching Prize for Leiden's teacher of the year.
The LUS is run for and by students. To gain input from as many students as possible, the LUS organises regular meetings in which all students can discuss and brainstorm on a range of different set topics. The LUS communicates the insights and ideas of students to the Executive Board and other relevant organs within the Leiden University.

Listen: Reason For Living / Doc Alimantado & The Rebels
Reason For Living / Doc Alimantado & The Rebels
One of the first records Howard Thompson played Corinne and I on our initial visit to his place in Agate Road was by Doc Alimantado & The Rebels. The memory is vivid, and the record probably larger than life because of the moment. This was March '77, I had waited four years to get back to London. It seemed like an eternity. Corinne had never been.
'Born For A Purpose' and it's flip, 'Reason For Living', instantly became her songs. We had a small cassette machine with us, so she recorded the dub B side, 'Reason For Living', repeatedly over both sides of a tape at Howard's that next evening, bringing it back to the hotel room which was literally one foot wider than the mattress on each side. The place was a crammed, uncomfortable but typical bed and breakfast in King's Cross, very down at heel, as they'd all say. Perfect. A better setting you couldn't have invented. We loved it.
As I've written prior, this '77 visit was non-stop. London was in orbit, punk was everywhere, but still underground and shocking the mainstream. Howard took us all around, to the Island offices where he worked at the time, to buy clothes in Shepherd's Bush Market, records in Ladbroke Grove, well everywhere actually; to the Marquee, Red Cow, Dingwalls, Hope & Anchor and Roxy. It was at The Roxy that Don Letts played mostly reggae to the punk crowd. It's been well chronicled and he was indeed there on those nights, doing then what he does now on 6Music, presenting some of the best records in the solar system to anyone who's bright enough to listen. Check out a recent show.
I remember hearing the Dr. Alimantado 12″ there several times. Me, I wanted the 7″, and sure enough, it was available. The A side 'Born For A Purpose' is pretty trippy, but the flip is total psychedelic dub, a sonic LSD trip one could say. I woke up and fell asleep to that cassette over the next two weeks. There was no escaping her playing it after a night out, where you'd hear it constantly as well. Lots of memories, but all good, so this record's indeed a true time traveler back to then.

Email Marketing can be profitable for any business, no matter what kind of product or service you offer. It is significantly cheaper than other advertising methods and, if done right, helps build loyalty and trust with customers. As a result, you generate more sales and more profits!
The foundation for successful email marketing is a targeted, permission-based email list. Marketers call contact lists their 'goldmine' because it can generate much of their sales revenue. If you've built up a list of opt-in subscribers that are qualified and interested in what you have to offer, then you've completed the first step and are on your way. Now it's time to 'mine' for gold!
Below you'll find several list-building and retention ideas that will help you get the best results from all your email marketing activities:
- Provide useful, relevant content.
Your visitors will not give you their email addresses just because they can subscribe to your newsletter free of charge. You have to provide unique and valuable information that will be of interest or use to them. - Add a subscription form to every page on your website.
Make sure it stands out so it is easy to find. If it doesn't look cluttered, you may want to include more than one on some pages. For instance, if your opt-in form always appears in the top-left corner of your site, you may want to add one at the end of your most popular articles. - Add subscription forms to your social media pages.
Make sure that you don't waste this valuable source of revenue opportunities. Integrate your sign-up forms with Facebook and more! - Make it easy for readers to sign up.
The more information you request, the fewer people will opt-in. In most cases, a name and an email address should suffice. If it's not necessary, don't include it here. You can always survey them once they're customers! We do recommend that you provide a link to your Privacy Policy however. - Publish a Privacy Policy.
Let your readers know that they can be confident you will not share their information with others. The easiest way to do this is to set up a Privacy Policy web page and provide the link to it below your opt-in form. (Note: If you don't have one, put the words 'privacy policy generator' into a search engine and you should be able to find a suitable form to use.) - Provide samples of your newsletters and Ezines.
This lets potential subscribers review your materials before they sign up to determine if it's something they'd be interested in. - Archive past newsletters and articles.
An online library of past newsletters and articles is both appealing and useful to visitors and builds your credibility as an authority. In addition, if your articles are written with good SEO techniques in mind, they can increase traffic to your website through enhanced search engine positioning. - Give gifts subscribers can actually use.
Offer an opt-in bonus for joining your subscriber list! Write an eBook or provide a PDF business report, or even hire a programmer to create downloadable or web-based software. But don't limit yourself to offering gifts to opt-ins. Give them out when your readers fill out a survey, provide a testimonial, success story, or a great product idea. Let them know when they can expect the next gift offer. Everyone likes to get something for free! And if you pass out 'goodies' throughout the year, your subscribers will feel truly appreciated − and that's good for business! - Ask your subscribers to pass it on.
Word of mouth is a powerful viral technique that works great with email marketing. If your subscribers find your content interesting, amusing or informative, they'll probably share it with their friends. This can be a great source of new customers, so make sure to remind them to 'pass it on'. - Let others reprint your newsletter as long as the content is not modified.
If you're happy to share your content with the universe, then why not! Many webmasters and newsletter publishers are actively looking for high-quality content and, if they reprint your newsletter, you'll get new subscribers, and more traffic and links pointing to your site. - Include a 'Sign Up' button in your newsletter.
If you're using plain text instead of HTML, be sure to provide a text link to your subscription page. You may feel that this is not required because the subscriber is already on your list, but remember that readers will forward your newsletters to others, or reprint them online. Make it easy for them to subscribe! - Add a squeeze page.
A squeeze page has one goal − to acquire opt-ins and build your list. Think of it as a mini-sales letter to go along with your subscription or opt-in gift. It should feature a strong headline and a couple of powerful benefits that should make subscribers salivate to sign up! Once created, use a service such as WordTracker to find hundreds of targeted keywords, and promote your offer using pay-per-click advertising from Google, MSN and Yahoo. Now that should make a splash! - Include testimonials on your squeeze page.
This is crucial. Put one or two strong testimonials from satisfied customers on your squeeze page. This can be in any format, but you may find that multimedia (audio or video) is more 'believable' and inspires more people to action. To further enhance believability, get permission to use actual customer names, locations and/or urls (Don't use 'Bob K, FL'). Add a note inviting others to participate. After all, it's free publicity! - Blog religiously.
Blogging is a great way to communicate with prospects and potential customers, and creates a nice synergy with your email marketing. Be sure to include your newsletter sign-up form on each page of your blog. You can start a free blog at Blogger or WordPress. - Post on other blogs.
Post thoughtful comments and information on similar blogs with a link to your squeeze or opt-in pages. Also comment on others' blogs through trackbacks. In most cases, your comments will be posted on their blogs with a link back to your site. This is an easy way to generate new traffic and subscribers, and get your brand out there!

Where did this jumble originate from?
To answer those questions I should first say that I have a habit of making up words. (Ask my husband who has learned to speak my language over 7+ years of time). Cuegly started with fashion. I found, that I like clothes that others might find as...well...ugly. But I SURE thought they were cute! Put the words Cute and Ugly together and what do you get???
(Or pronounced: Q-GLEE)
You should also know that Cuegly, to me, is a compliment. If you can take a moment to imagine myself shopping with my dear spouse and proclaiming 'That's so cuegly!' to anything that described my fashion or personality.
That's me...
I always push myself to get better at something and work on it until I'm satisfied with my progress. (I still have yet to pee in a cup in less than 2 hours of trying... but I'm working on it). On this blog you'll read about my success, failures and learn skills along with me. Trust me, I screw up just as much as ANYONE else...like HERE, and HERE. (There's more, trust me).
But I believe strengthening talents is a gift to give back to my Father in Heaven.
I love, love.
And I love making people happy.

A Connecticut woman who had a package stolen from her front step discovered the culprit was a black bear.
Kristin Levine, of Bristol, posted home surveillance video on Facebook on Monday, showing the bear sauntering across her driveway with the Amazon package in its mouth.
"Yea so if anyone sees an Amazon package in the Chippens Hill area with my name on it…feel free to bring it back?" Levine wrote in her post.
Levine told NBC Connecticut she received an alert from her security system about five minutes after Amazon dropped of the package and was "taken aback because I wasn't expecting anyone else in my driveway."
The bear, she said ended up dropping off the parcel in a neighbor's yard. It was apparently not interested in the contents: several rolls of toilet paper, she said.
"It was hysterical like I said, I knew nothing in there was going to be irreplaceable so it was a fun afternoon for sure," Levine said.
Levine's post received numerous comments, including from people comparing it to the bear from the Charmin toilet paper commercials.

It was 1:30 in the afternoon by the time we arrived at our hotel in the center of the city. I was already dreaming of the crisply made bed in my charming, but small room.
A delicate chandelier hung over the bed and the tall shuttered window was ajar. Checking the window, I heard voices singing and an organ playing from the courtyard below. This was Rome and it is not unusual to hear a choir practicing through open church doors, but I'd never heard it drifting into my hotel room. Opening the shutters I couldn't see anyone in this tiny enclosed area that could have been in any Italian city. No, it wasn't a view of the Vatican or one of the many ruins or statues. It was an enclosed respite from the crowded narrow city streets; a place where lives come together.
The view was an unexpected and beautiful mosaic of colors, life and music...a magic place, to me, where real lives echoed in every crooked corner. I left my window open and sleep came easy as the singing lulled me on this early afternoon. After the short peaceful nap, the rest of the afternoon was filled wandering the busy cobblestone streets of Rome with friends from my crew.
Loved this mime...
Through all of the wandering there is always the required stop at the grocery store to take back a wedge of Parmesan cheese, fresh mozzarella, spicy peppers and other sweet and savory treasures. The setting sun came too soon, but that meant it was time for dinner and that is a good thing! We decided to go to Ristorante La Tavernetta. I hadn't had much to eat since the flight over and was really looking forward to a big bowl of pasta. One of my favorites is spaghetti with mushrooms and clams, and that is what I got.
It was perfect with a side of sauteed chicory and garlic. I was eying the stacked Caprese Salad that 2 of my friends shared. It was stacked up straight and tall, unlike a well known Italian tower. The tomatoes were red and ripe and the mozzarella was fresh and delicate. Snipped basil was scattered on the plate amid a good splash of olive oil.
I knew I had to make it once I got home and the good news was that I had just bought the mozzarella a few hours ago! We finished our meal and wandered back to our hotel, stopping along the way for the prerequisite gelato. I had my favorite.
Back at my room, I slept with the windows open once again. There was no choir to nudge me into sleep, but soon I was dreaming of that Caprese Salad, and knew I'd make it when I returned home.

I am not sure what I had in mind, but you never know when opportunities with present themselves.
At each bridge crossing I got my sketchbook stamped with the official stamp of the day. I have included the map that I drew afterwards to give you an idea of the course. You will notice I have not drawn the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. This was because, in the end I walked 15 km (out of the whole 26km) .
I sketched seven pages
Drawing while walking is difficult. But the people were all walking at the same pace and the wharf a broad and flat.
The later drawing on the page of people walking was drawn while walking along the thin footpath in the suburbs- have to watch your feet

Raised by a single mother after his father was shot to death, he idolized his guitar-slinging older brother Duane and became his musical partner. They formed the nucleus of The Allman Brothers Band, which helped define the Southern rock sound of the 1970s.
Their songs such as "Whipping Post," ''Ramblin' Man" and "Midnight Rider" laid the foundation for the genre and opened the doors for groups like Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Marshall Tucker Band.
Gregg Allman, whose bluesy vocals and soulful touch on the Hammond B-3 organ helped propel the Allman Brothers Band to superstardom, died Saturday. He was 69.
Allman died peacefully and surrounded by loved ones at his home near Savannah, Georgia, his manager, Michael Lehman, told The Associated Press. He blamed cancer for Allman's death.
"It's a result of his reoccurrence of liver cancer that had come back five years ago," Lehman said in an interview. "He kept it very private because he wanted to continue to play music until he couldn't."
Allman played his last concert in October as health problems forced him to cancel other 2016 shows. He announced Aug. 5 that he was "under his doctor's care at the Mayo Clinic" due to "serious health issues." Later that year, he canceled more dates, citing a throat injury. In March, he canceled performances for the rest of 2017.
Born in Nashville, Tennessee, the rock star known for his long blond hair was raised in Florida.
In his 2012 memoir, "My Cross to Bear," Allman described how his older brother was a central figure in his life in the years after their father was murdered by a man he met in a bar. The two boys endured a spell in a military school before being swept up in rock music in their teens. Although Gregg was the first to pick up a guitar, it was Duane who excelled at it. So Gregg later switched to the organ.
They spent years in bands together, but failed to crack success until they formed The Allman Brothers Band in 1969. It featured extended jams, tight guitar harmonies by Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, rhythms from a pair of drummers and the smoky blues inflected voice of Gregg Allman.
Based in Macon, Georgia, the group also had drummers Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson and Butch Trucks and bassist Berry Oakley. They reached the pinnacle of the burgeoning music scene, partying to excess while defining a sound that still excites millions.
Their self-titled debut album came out in 1969, but it was their seminal live album "At Fillmore East" in 1971 that catapulted the band to stardom. Considered one of the greatest live albums ever made, the two LP record opened with their version of Blind Willie McTell's "Statesboro Blues," with Duane Allman on slide guitar. The album introduced fans to their fusion of blues, rock and jazz.
Duane Allman had quickly ascended to the pantheon of guitar heroes, not just from his contributions to the Allman band, but from his session work with Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and with Eric Clapton on the classic "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" album. But he was killed in a motorcycle accident in October 1971, just months after recording the Fillmore shows. Another motorcycle accident the following year claimed Oakley's life.
Keyboard player Chuck Leavell joined the band following Duane Allman's death and the band continued to soar. Their follow-up to the Fillmore album, "Eat a Peach," became their first top 10 album and featured some of their most popular recordings, including "Melissa" and "Blue Sky."
Gregg Allman said in a 1998 interview with The Associated Press that he and Betts mourned his brother's death in music.
"We used to write songs in a graveyard in Macon," Allman said. "One thing everybody thought was Duane would come back to haunt us if we did not keep going. He had the most passion for music of any man I've ever seen."
In a 2012 interview with The Associated Press, he said Duane remained on his mind every day. Once in a while, he could even feel his presence.
"I can tell when he's there, man," Allman said. "I'm not going to get all cosmic on you. But listen, he's there."
The 1970s brought more highly publicized turmoil: Allman was compelled to testify in a drug case against a former road manager for the band and his marriage to the actress and singer Cher was short-lived even by show business standards.
In 1975, Cher and Allman married three days after she divorced her husband and singing partner, Sonny Bono. Their marriage was tumultuous from the start; Cher requested a divorce just nine days after their Las Vegas wedding, although she dismissed the suit a month later.
Together they released a widely panned duets album under the name "Allman and Woman." They had one child together, Elijah Blue, and Cher filed for legal separation in 1977. Allman said in an interview with Viva magazine in 1977 that he regretted marrying Cher and said that they probably could have fallen in love if it hadn't been for his drug abuse.
The Allman Brothers Band likewise split up in the 1980s and then re-formed several times over the years. A changing cast of players has included Derek Trucks, nephew of original drummer Butch Trucks, as well as guitarist Warren Haynes.
Starting in 1990, more than 20 years after its founding, the reunited band began releasing new music and found a new audience. In 1995 the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and they won a Grammy Award for best rock instrumental performance for "Jessica" the following year.
In 2000, Betts was ousted from the band via fax for alleged substance abuse and poor performance and he hasn't played with the band since.
Butch Trucks died in January 2017. Authorities said he shot himself in front of his wife at their Florida home.
In his memoir, Allman said he spent years overindulging in women, drugs and alcohol before getting sober in the mid-1990s. He said that after getting sober, he felt "brand new" at the age of 50.
"I never believed in God until this," he said in an interview with The Associated Press in 1998. "I asked him to bring me out of this or let me die before all the innings have been played. Now I have started taking on some spiritualism."
However, after all the years of unhealthy living he ended up with hepatitis C which severely damaged his liver. He underwent a liver transplant in 2010.
After the surgery, he turned music to help him recover and released his first solo album in 14 years "Low Country Blues" in 2011.
"I think it's because you're doing something you love," Allman said in a 2011 interview with The Associated Press. "I think it just creates a diversion from the pain itself. You've been swallowed up by something you love, you know, and you're just totally engulfed."
The band was honored with a lifetime achievement Grammy in 2012.

Cambridge, MA, November 30, 2017 –(PR.com)– RowAnalytics today announced that it has established its presence in North America with an office in Cambridge, MA to further collaborative research in precision medicine with the world's leading academic, clinical and biotechnology organizations. Located in the heart of Kendall Square, which offers an inspirational rich history in biotech and an impressive list of neighbors, Cambridge operations will include both commercial and technical operations. Specifically, local teams will execute initiatives in business, marketing, research, informatics and artificial intelligence development.
The move enables recruitment from one of the finest talent pools in the world and provides convenient access for collaboration with life science organizations to advance efforts in personalized medicine. Informatics and artificial intelligence (A.I.) experts will be onsite to assist customers who are analyzing populations in biomarker discovery, genome-wide association, drug repurposing and patient stratification studies. Together, our experts will work alongside scientists, developers and clinicians who are investigating the links between disease, genes and personal risk.
RowAnalytics has developed an innovative analytics platform via a combination of A.I., semantics and science. The precisionlife™ platform introduces a remarkable, first-in-world ability to analyze multiple data forms (both structured and unstructured including medical images, videos, clinical reports, whole genomes and more) together, at the same time. Moreover, the precisionlife platform and suite of solutions enables the rapid and parallel analysis of multiple combinations of multiple factors. This capability, as well as the speed (about 100x the current standard) and ability to execute these complex analyses on a few CPUs versus a supercomputer is unprecedented.
Steve Gardner, CEO of RowAnalytics said, "The opening of our first US office is an exciting moment marking the growth of the company and our collaborations in 2017. I am particularly delighted to bring in such an experienced and capable senior team, led by our new COO, Serdar Uckun, MD, PhD and VP Market Development Loralyn Mears, PhD."
"As our mission is to solve grand challenges in health, food and smart living with innovative analytics, we need to be co-located with the brightest minds in the world and Cambridge, MA. Given that Cambridge is the heart of biotech, the location offers exactly what we need to be successful," said Dr Uckun. He added, "Precision medicine is inordinately complicated and the collective brain trust actively researching and developing novel approaches to improve patient health within the Boston region will challenge our thinking and spur us on to do more and do better."
The precisionlife platform is the first of its kind and is designed to study the deep relationships between disease, clinical symptoms, phenotype and genotype wholistically. Current approaches are limited to studying only single loci SNP variations, which don't model the true complexity or scope of factors impacting disease and hence offer limited understanding. Healthcare costs are skyrocketing and computational constraints are restricting our collective ability to do whole genome, whole population studies. In contrast, precisionlife offers a radically different, scalable, multi-modal and combinatorial approach to precision and personalized medicine. The platform employs a collaborative model to apply clinical expertise in combination with machine-learning to identify novel ways to improve patient health and transform the delivery of healthcare.
The Cambridge, MA location is now fully operational and will be expanding in the months ahead as new customers, collaborators and experts in computational biology and A.I. onboard under Dr Uckun's local leadership.

IMB launches initiative to curb B/L fraud
The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) has launched a new initiative aimed at curbing bills of lading (B/L) fraud carried out by non-vessel owning common carriers (NVOCCs).
The IMB NVOCC Register provides a business solution to a business problem affecting parties involved in international shipping and trade.
B/Ls are crucial documents relied upon by many stakeholders in the trading chain including banks, shipping companies, carriers and charterers.
IMB – which conducts B/L checks for its members – says while the vast majority of NVOCCs issue B/Ls correctly, there is a small minority that do not.
This could lead to fraudulent practices, and banks that unwittingly process false B/Ls could discover that either there are no cargoes underlying the documents or that the shipments may be misrepresented.
IMB says that up to 95 percent of the false B/Ls identified by the Bureau are issued by NVOCCs.
An IMB spokesman said, "Incidents of ship owners/carriers or their agents issuing false B/Ls are uncommon because they take a big risk in doing so and open themselves to legal action.
"However, unlike the carriers or their agents, the majority of NVOCCs do not have any assets which are at risk in these transactions except for their reputations.
"The NVOCC Register therefore recognises participating NVOCCs who adhere to a minimum standard of anti-fraud measures in their operations," the IMB spokesman added.
IMB is inviting NVOCCs to sign up to its NVOCC Register. In doing so they will also have to sign up to a Code of Conduct for the issuance of B/Ls. Failure to comply with the Code of Conduct may result in removal of the NVOCC from the Register in certain circumstances.
The intention is not to exclude defaulting NVOCCs but to help them improve the steps taken to issue bills of lading which is relied upon by a number of other stakeholders.
IMB says an advantage of signing up to the Register is that banks may process the documents of NVOCCs on the Register faster than those that are not.
The IMB NVOCC Register is backed by an online course designed by the IMB and run by the ICC Academy which specialises in trade related online training (https://icc.academy/).
The IMB NVOCC Register was officially launched in Singapore last month, attended by more than 100 representatives from banks, logistics companies and trading firms.

Linda Carroli reviews Michael Joyce on networked culture, whose emergence changes our ideas of change.
Othermindedness: a focus on our "mindedness," a murky sense of a newly evolving consciousness and cognition alike.
Network Culture: calls us to a new mind, one in which we must not merely affirm seemingly passive choices but find a ground on which to do so.
Othermindedness: The Emergence of Network Culture, a collection of essays, is prefaced with Joyce's accounts of the substantive terms which comprise the title: "othermindedness," "network culture," and "emergence." The threads of these definitions are articulated as a kind of imperative and woven through each of the texts that follow: each is both singular and connected. It is through these poetic qualifications that the book itself emerges as a book, a collection, as a series of meditations and recurrences addressing time, place, textuality, and virtuality.
Emergence: change lies in things but is disturbed unpredictably; in the course of the disturbance not only do the things change but change itself does. Changing change...constitutes emergence.
This approach to emergence resonates with Sadie Plant's observation that everything has changed, even our ideas of change have changed (45). Change, as a kind of constantly moving becoming, breathes life into both "othermindedness" and "network culture." It's quite likely that network culture will never actually exist in a completed state but rather be constantly emerging. Here, narratives of self are interwined with narratives of theory, to generate what Joyce describes as "both a narrative of theory and a text theoretically at least a narrative and thus not unlike what Gregory Ulmer calls 'mystory'." With "othermindedness," Joyce introduces himself as a creature of network culture, a practitioner, a theorist with a fragmented sense of self. Even our writing, always, is fragmentary. Donna Haraway reminds us that all writing and intellectual work is also fragmentary, flourishing in webs and comprised of conversations and connections (vii). Dancing with shadows. Trusting Outsiders. That's how Joyce describes his experience of network culture.
With so many competing forces, who can any of us trust? Not concerned with migratory text/s, this book is a literary journey, a journey literally. An intimate introduction steps into the preface, the personal recollection of an Irish-American boy gazing through a screen door. That door, the inbetween, like a computer screen, the hyphen of inside-out, outside-in. For Sandy Stone, the virtual community is a community of belief. It is both a statement and a question. What will any of us believe of such an openness? "The electronic text is a belief structure, and the workaday reader is apt to believe that even the most awkward contemporary technology of literacy embodies the associational schema of the text it presents" (105). Worlds will be made of words. Work about hypertext is constantly punctuated by mention of books, as if computers present a danger rather than a choice, a change or a difference. However, for Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, "the book is not the image of the world." As Jorge Luis Borges writes, "a book, any book, is a sacred object for us." If emergence means changing change, then endings (of books or otherwise) might never happen. In network culture, spaces for and of writing emerge.
Paul Virilio once said, "space is how you practice it" (53). By extension Joyce writes about different grammars of space: "joining together to write their space, they read with their actions, their objects, and their interactions with each other on the screen." This applies to MUDs and MOOs, Listservs and even email. Using these technologies, we are writing and practicing cyberspace: as hypertext, fragment, and collaboration. Cyberspace is not just practiced through writing. Reading also becomes a spatial practice. It is through these textual encounters that we might experience the nomadic, the errantness of place at breakneck speed. Joyce proposes a "middle way" approach to writing and teaching. In appropriating the middle voice of Greek verbs, Joyce suggests that the subject performs an action and that the action somehow returns to the subject. "In interaction the middle voice returns person to the self, the reader whose experience itself creates the meaning of the new form." The middle voice confers continuity and coherence.
Contours emerge from within the text. "Contour is one expression of the perceptible form of a constantly changing text, made by any of its readers or writers at a given point in its reading or writing." This contour is like a caress and the rhizome, connected and reterritorialising, but not necessarily touching. Within Zygmunt Bauman's works, postmodern ethics are the ethics of caress. see Linda Brigham's review of Bauman on Globalization This is an ethics based on open-handedness, touching without pressing, obeying the shape of the caressed body (92). Joyce refers to an ethical imperative that operates within network culture. He urges artists, thinkers and writers to take responsibility "for even seemingly passive choices, for virtual worlds and for alternate selves" and "to be mindful of ourselves in increasingly other roles than as passive consumer, but rather as cocreator and reciprocal actor." These are an ethics which account for the body, not to be sliced and dismembered by shards of light. These are ethics which are mindful of multiplicity and of what could possibly come next.
Nextness, as Joyce describes it, is a measure of the future. We live in a constant state of nextness, anticipation of the future and the promise of speed. In that waiting is the anticipation of "a true electronic form." In keeping with theories of remediation, he notes, "the new electronic literature will seem self-evident, as if we have always seen it and, paradoxically, as if we have never seen it before." In a constant state of nextness, the new electronic literature will bear a great burden: to be simultaneously new and old, unfamiliar and familiar, possible and impossible. The new electronic literature will emerge from the othermindedness of network culture.
Throughout this collection of essays, Joyce has revelled in his fragmentary self, sketched portraits of those uncertainties. Uncertain, in the sense that it might be difficult to ascribe those fragments. In the Coda, he provides a "Portrait of the Artist as a Search Engine Entry." How do findings from search engines portray any one of us? For Joyce, what was missing from his portrait, an "animated mixture of coherence and happenstance" also "once promised to make the web a brave new world." Joyce isn't particularly looking for a "brave new world" and it's hard to say whether a great many people are looking. Though many people are making self portaits, ubiquitous homepages are emerging as an autobiographical practice. Joyce made an Borgesian observation about libraries in an earlier chapter: in an information society, "we don't collect, we are the collection." Out of curiosity, I have searched for myself on the Web, to see my own portrait, myself as a collection. When served the results, I saw things of myself that I had never seen before and wondered how "they" can know so much. Even so, I also wondered how they can know so very little.
Linda Carroli also reviews Joyce's third hybrid collection, "Moral Tales and Meditations."

It is very well known that massage therapy has a long history; and with that long history comes a long list of health and wellness benefits. Improved concentration is just one of these. But before we try to improve our concentration, we have to find the cause. The most common reasons for issues with concentrating are stress, anxiety, insomnia, depression, hormonal imbalances, and many more.
Stress related disorders are the top reason for doctor visits. Disorders like insomnia, anxiety and depression are just some of the most common causes of poor concentration. But there is good news! Massage Therapy is known to treat these symptoms. You might ask, how does massage therapy help improve concentration? The answer is simple; by relaxing muscles, managing pain levels, improving blood flow, improving sleep quality, and releasing endorphins.
If you struggle with any of these disorders and you are having trouble concentrating, why not give the Licensed Massage Therapists at LaVida Massage a try? All of our wellness centers are open 7 days a week with extended hours to fit into your busy schedule.
*There may be other factors that are disrupting your concentration, speak with your doctor if you feel your concentration issues may be linked to a more serious condition.

Company's unique embedded DRAM is capable of feeding the multi-core processor large chunks of data to make for a smooth entertainment experience.
IBM has announced that it will provide the microprocessors that will serve as the heart of the new Wii U system from Nintendo. Unveiled at the E3 trade show this week, Nintendo plans for its new console to hit store shelves in 2012.
The all-new, Power-based microprocessor will pack some of IBM's most advanced technology into an energy-saving silicon package that will power Nintendo's brand new entertainment experience for consumers worldwide. IBM's unique embedded DRAM, for example, is capable of feeding the multi-core processor large chunks of data to make for a smooth entertainment experience.
IBM's state-of-the-art 300mm chip plant in East Fishkill, N.Y., will be the manufacturing facility for the new custom-designed game chip the company is building for Nintendo's new game console due to hit store shelves next year.
IBM plans to produce millions of chips for Nintendo featuring IBM Silicon on Insulator (SOI) technology at 45 nanometers (45 billionths of a meter).
The relationship between IBM and Nintendo dates to May 1999, when IBM was selected to design and manufacture the central microprocessor for the Nintendo GameCube system. Since 2006, IBM has shipped more than 90 million chips for Nintendo Wii systems.
"IBM has been a terrific partner for many years. We truly value IBM's commitment to support Nintendo in delivering an entirely new kind of gaming and entertainment experience for consumers around the world," said Genyo Takeda, senior managing director, Integrated Research and Development, at Nintendo Co., Ltd.
"We're very proud to have delivered to Nintendo consistent technology advancements for three generations of entertainment consoles," said Elmer Corbin, director, IBM's custom chip business. "Our relationship with Nintendo underscores our unique position in the industry--how we work together with clients to help them leverage IBM technology, intellectual property and research to drive innovation into their own core products."
Built on the open, scalable Power Architecture base, IBM custom processors exploit the performance and power advantages of proven silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology. The inherent advantages of the technology make it a superior choice for performance-driven applications that demand exceptional, power-efficient processing capability–from entertainment consoles to supercomputers.

A dental indemnity insurance plan is the option most like "true insurance" - that is, it is most similar to traditional health insurance plans. It is a fee-for-service plan that does not use networks, so patients can visit any dentist. After you have paid your deductible, the insurance company will pay all or part of your "usual and customary" dental care costs.
"Usual and customary" is a very important bit of wording! It is the insurance company, not the individual dentist, who decides what are "usual, customary and reasonable" rates using a UCR fee schedule. If your dentist charges more than what the insurance company has determined is "usual and customary," you will usually be responsible for paying the difference. Fee schedules can vary significantly by region and by insurance company.
Dental insurance programs offer different levels of coverage for different types of dental care. A program's coverage is often expressed as three different percentages. For example, a 100-80-50 dental health plan would cover the following:
Dental insurance plans also have annual maximum benefits, usually between $1,000 and $2,000. This is the maximum amount the insurance company will pay out for dental care in one calendar year. Since complex dental restorations can cost thousands of dollars, even patients with insurance can end up paying for much of their care.
