Our Doctor
Dr. Akm Huq
Hello pet lovers, I, Dr. Akm Huq, graduated from Bangladesh in 1987 and obtained my Masters Degree in Veterinary Pathology with honors in 1994.
During my long career, I studied and worked in Japan with Dr. M. Shiota Poppo, a very renowned veterinarian in Tokyo, and also worked with renowned veterinarian Dr. Permin in Denmark. I also studied on Drug Research and Development in Toronto, Canada. I had a chance to work with several renowned veterinarians like Dr. Little John, Dr. Bruce Robinson, Dr. Graham Crawshaw, and Dr. Omar in Toronto, Canada.

Several years ago, I moved to Dallas and started to work at Banfield (Pet Smart). Finally, I decided to materialize my dreams to open my own hospital, The "Bethany Pet Hospital." I believe in helping all pet owners in all possible ways. My practice is a state-of-the-art hospital, equipped with very high quality equipment such as a digital x-ray, digital Otoscope, video microscope, Abaxis Blood Analyzer and Chemistry analyzer and much more.

ANPR | Automatic Number Plate Recognition
Automatic Number Plate Recognition
At the very core, "Automatic License Plate Recognition" (ANPR) systems are used to automatically detect and recognize license plates in images. From there, the identified license plate can be used to look up information on the owner of the car.
ANPR systems are mainly used for automatic toll collection, and in the United States, the primary use of ANPR is within law enforcement to issue speeding citations.
ANPR systems tend to be heavily region specific on a state-by-state (or province-by-province) level. In the United States, each State has a different and unique license plate design. And as we travel across the world, we continue to see various forms of license plate designs.

Shares of for-profit colleges down after President Obama's reelection
Dive Summary:
- For-profit education companies saw their shares fall Wednesday after the reelection of President Barack Obama, whose administration has increased regulations on that sector.
- Critics of for-profit institutions say the schools provide poor value for the money, don't have high enough graduation rates and don't have enough incentives to ensure student success in the job market, and the Obama administration put new regulations in place requiring the schools to meet certain standards or lose access to federal financial aid, which has made up the majority of the companies' revenue.
- Leading for-profit chains including Apollo Group Inc., DeVry Inc. and ITT Educational Services Inc. all saw declines in share prices of 6% or more with the exception of Kaplan owner Washington Post Co., whose shares fell 1.6% to $340.
From the article:
Shares of for-profit education companies tumbled Wednesday after President Barack Obama was re-elected. His administration has tightened federal regulations over their schools. Student populations at for-profit schools and universities soared during the recession as job-seekers tried to beef up their skills, but have dropped in recent years, partially because the Obama administration put in place new regulations requiring the schools to meet certain performance targets or risk losing their access to federal student loans. Federal financial aid has made up the bulk of the chains' revenues. ...

It's Hard to believe it's been a decade since the first episode aired,. Now after 10 years, KUWTK is officially the longest running reality TV show in history.
Often mocked as having no real talent and possessing primaryly enhanced beauty, this incredible family, by letting us share in their daily lives every week, have become household names, and a powerful brand in global entertainment.
Through Marriages and relationships, children and grandchildren, the sometimes surreal and bittersweet quality of the Kardashians lifestyle can be addictive and peculiarly entertaining.

Model Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian sported their silk bras, While Kim wore a sexy crop top, Khloe looked sharp in an olive green bodysuit, While Kendall wore mustard-colored underwear.

Wisconsin Hoofer Mountaineers. Sunday climbing at Devils Lake during the academic year continues to be the mainstay of our rock climbing activities, although occasional overnights, hikes, and an outing to the Mississippi Palisades were programed. Because of an unusually large new membership in the fall accompanied by extremely good weather, improved facilities were incorporated for teaching dynamic belaying to the newcomers.
In August one group climbed in the Tetons, ascended Oregon's Middle Sister, and in Glacier Park, British Columbia, climbed Mount Sir Donald by the north ridge. A second group climbed for two weeks in the Fremont Peak area of the Wind Rivers and also visited the Tetons.

Frankly, I'd planned to vote for Chuck Baldwin, because I expected McCain to come up with some typical running mate — Romney, Hutchison, or Lieberman (shudder!) — but then, as I said, the old rip took me by surprise and picked the best major party candidate to run for President or VP since at least Goldwater. So now I'm going all out to get him elected. He can serve 8 years, and then she can serve 8 years.

About 160 villagers from Kratie province's Meanchey village cancelled plans to block National Road 7 yesterday after provincial authorities and a Vietnamese rubber company agreed to their requests regarding an ongoing land dispute, but some expressed scepticism that the agreement would last.
Village representative Saren Ket told the Post that rubber firm CIV Develop Agro Industry and provincial governor Kham Phoeun had agreed yesterday to return farmland to villagers that was taken from them nearly four years ago.
The rights to 300 hectares of land around the village have been in dispute since 2008, when the Vietnamese company began claiming legal ownership of more than 1,000 hectares of land in the area.
Saren Ket said the villagers were dubious that the company would carry through with its promise to return the land.
"I don't trust their promise 100 per cent," he said.
Another villager representative, Yi Noeun, said CIV had given the villagers permission yesterday to resume planting crops on the land, but had requested US$500 a hectare for the privilege.
He said he thought the villagers had been offered this resolution only to quell the dispute until commune elections took place next year.
"Now everything is good, but I am afraid that after the commune elections, everything will change," Yi Noeun said.
Yi Soksan, deputy head of the land program at rights group Adhoc, said he did not fully buy into promises by CIV to return the land and found it odd CIV was charging for land that originally belonged to the villagers.
"I think the authorities only made the promise to trick the villagers, so they would not block National Road 7.
"Why do they need to get $500 per hectare from the villagers? The villagers did not ask them [CIV] to clear their land, they came and took over the villagers' land," he said.
CIV representative Chin Hong Sri could not be reached for comment yesterday.

|For the Week of April 25, 2016
|Closing the UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program, or JMP, is one of the options management is considering in order to meet the "3 percent budget reduction target for all campus professional schools," reports the Daily Californian. JPM students and advocates have launched a petition drive to save the program, which "receives only a small portion" of the funds it generates, according to director Colette Auerswald. In a private message, she said JMP "was named a model program by the American Academy of Medical Colleges in 2014." It trains physicians who understand "the social context of our healthcare system and our health itself."
The Los Angeles Times reports on "increasingly fierce reactions" from Berkeley faculty who say "they have been largely left out of the early planning efforts" to reshape the university. At an April 12 faculty meeting, "Dirks acknowledged that any changes to Berkeley's academic programs would probably save only a few million dollars," the Times added, and that "the main reason to redesign them would be to settle on an academic vision in line with new budget realities."
|Only one in four sexual harassment complaints against UC faculty systemwide "was formally investigated between 2012 and 2015, and only one-third of those were substantiated," revealed the Mercury News, after UC issued a new report last week. The report "was unclear about what happened to the 76 percent of the complaints that were not investigated," the paper added, as "erratic" record-keeping made it difficult to gather information. Tyann Sorrell, the Berkeley executive assistant "who came forward against the law school dean, said UC should hire an independent investigator to determine what happened with the complaints that weren't formally investigated."
Non-tenure track faculty at the University of Southern California voted in January against representation by SEIU by a slim margin. Now the National Labor Relations Board has found that USC undermined the election by giving raises to some faculty and threatening that others would not be welcome on the Academic Senate and other university bodies. The NLRB nullified the election and ordered another one held.
A letter signed by all 10 UC chancellors plus UC president Janet Napolitano is drawing giggles from blogger and UCSB English professor Chris Newfield. "UC United!" wrote Newfield, as he speculated that maybe management would be "pledging new vigilance in rooting out sexual misconduct on campus, or agreeing to address administrative bloat, or reigning in non-resident enrollments, or capping executive compensation…?" No, writes Newfield, UC's bigwigs were merely writing to an academic association to oppose a student- and faculty-led movement to boycott Israeli academic institutions. Two faculty members have already written strong letters questioning Napolitano & company's move.

According to the latest research, half the population of Britain have made the resolution to lose weight and/or eat more healthily, at the top of the year.
By February – guess what – almost a quarter of these have broken and given up on their resolution.

Law of Thought says this: that Thoughts are Energy. Stop and think about this. This Energy makes a difference. Your Thoughts make a difference, make an impact on your life. They don't just pass through without leaving their mark. It may be weak if they are unclear and unfocused. If Thoughts are concentrated, focused and directed they will leave a powerful mark. And your life will take shape as a result. Create your reality.
Change the way you think and you change the shape of your Life.
Hoping to move forward?
It's easy to let fear stop you making decisions. Uncertainty. That simply then leaves you stuck where you are.
It's easy to let this fear stop you from moving on. There may be all sorts of obstacles, hinderences, ifs and buts, maybes, what ifs, and perhaps…..
You can become immersed in procrastination. Never moving. Then actually losing out because you stayed as is.
Life Coaching removes all the doubts, produces new thinking and motivations. Finds answers and solutions. Gives you the opportunity to see your way and support you through the decisions and the actions required.
If you want the world of 2012 shaping into more your style – instigate some removal of that fear. Now!

You may be feeling what Prince and other baby boomers experienced when John Lennon was killed in December 1980, and what John, the other Beatles and other post-WWII babies felt when Elvis suddenly died in the summer of 1977. Michael Jackson. Next month it will have been seven years.
Losing an icon of your generation; suddenly you feel different. Older, I guess.
I remember my anguish and a sense of transition with John's death. I never met him, but he was part of my life, my youth. He was the voice of my generation. He was not supposed to die. Ever. And certainly not at 40. And not that way. During a global moment of silence days after his death, I sat on the beach in San Diego, and something tapped me on the shoulder—no, it slapped me across the face, and said, 'It's over. It's going to be different from now on.'
For people now in their thirties and forties, teenagers when Prince was at the height of his stardom, I know how you feel. Along with Prince, you've lost a piece of yourself.
Watching CNN last night, a lot of correspondents, those in their 30s and 40s, were experiencing the loss of their generation's icon. Many had a hard time holding it together. A few didn't. Some who had met or knew Prince choked up. Some openly wept. During a telephone interview with Don Lemon, model Naomi Campbell rambled incoherently in her grief. It was uncomfortable listening. I wanted Lemon to let her hang up because I felt some intrusion on my part.
Seeing the images of fans outside Prince's home, reading the Twitter feeds and Facebook posts, struck so strikingly familiar to the pall and aftermath of Jackson's death nearly seven years ago. Jackson was not supposed to die. Ever.
Those images. People gathered outside Prince's home in Minneapolis, crowds outside Harlem's Apollo Theater, it reminded me of the night people assembled on the street below Lennon's Manhattan apartment. They had to come out and just be there. Be with others who felt the same type of loss—not only the loss of the music that will never be composed, sung and performed, but the loss of a symbol of our salad days, that vibrant period of youthful idealism when everything seemed so relevant. With the loss of Prince, an icon, many feel suddenly older and less relevant.
But chin up. There's the music. The vinyl, the cassettes, the CDs come out. The downloads commence. There will always be the music. And music keeps us young.

Why Our Hearts are Failing Us
It should be no surprise heart disease is the number one killer of North Americans, but did you know it kills more people than all forms of cancer combined? Despite the billions spent on research, medical breakthroughs and the development of advanced testing methods our situation is not getting better.
What's even more surprising is that many general practitioners are simply not aware of some of the new test methods available and still rely on the basic cholesterol test when 75% of heart attack patients have normal cholesterol levels and new studies show that those with high LDL (non-oxidized) actually live longer than those with low LDL. What the outdated cholesterol test does do is provide a basis for recommending statin drugs, which could in fact be harmful.
Dr. H. Okuyama, of Nagoya City University reports, "We have collected a wealth of information on cholesterol and statins from many published papers and find overwhelming evidence that these drugs accelerate hardening of the arteries and can cause, or worsen, heart failure. I cannot find any evidence to support people taking statins."
Dr. Peter Langsjoen, a heart specialist in Texas warns, "Statins are being used so aggressively and in such large numbers of people that the adverse effects are now becoming obvious. These drugs should never have been approved for use. The long-term effects are devastating."
Dr. Langsjoen conducted research on 50 patients who discontinued taking statin drugs. Instead they supplemented with CoEnzyme Q10 and the research team saw no adverse consequences.
Prevention is the best medicine for a nation whose people are dying prematurely in huge numbers and unfortunately many of us are not being recommended or covered for an echocardiogram, coronary calcium scan or carotid artery scan. Yet the results could be the wake-up call we need to make some important lifestyle changes before it's too late. More shocking research proves we are now showing signs of plaque build up in our 20's.
Women are now highly cautioned because they are at the highest risk with 51% of cardiovascular related deaths and the research budget does not favour them as the majority of research is on men's heart attacks. For many women the first sign of heart disease is a fatal event and many of their symptoms are not the same as men's (light-headedness, nausea, upper back pressure, anxiety, unexplained fatigue).
There are additional options, new advanced blood tests available from Canadian labs (LifeLabs) that along with general testing can help provide a clearer picture of your cardiovascular status. You may be able to get these lower cost tests through your general practitioner (don't be surprised if they aren't familiar with it) or through a naturopath physician or metabolic coach.
PLAC® Test (Lp-PLA2) – Lp-PLA2 is a biological marker for vascular inflammation, a condition associated with the buildup of plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. The greater the Lp-PLA2 activity, the greater the risk for fatal and nonfatal CHD events. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a biomarker of oxidative stress that can identify the presence of oxidized LDL and vulnerable arterial plaques that increase a person's risk for heart attack.
The majority of adults will likely not score well but there are alternatives to drugs and surgery for some. Reducing fast food, hydrogenated fat and sugar intake plays a big role in prevention when supported with a well balanced and proportioned whole food diet. Practicing moderate exercise, forgiveness, and living a low stress lifestyle are not to be underestimated. Herbal and nutritional support hold the keys to winning the battle. It's a matter of long-life or early death.

GENERAL APPEARANCE : Parylene is the generic name for a family of polymers with more than 20 variations. Only five of these are widely used. Thanks to its excellent mechanical, electrical and physicochemical properties, Parylene is used in a wide range of cutting-edge sectors. In contrast to other protective coatings which are painted, immersed or pulverised on a substrate, Parylene is applied using a process of evaporation in a vacuum chamber. During this process, a precursor called a "dimer" which comes in powder form, is heated at around 150°C. The dimer thus goes from a solid state to a gas ( sublimation ). The following step involves splitting the dimer into two active monomers. This separation occurs at 650°C in a tubular oven. Upon arrival in this chamber, the gaseous monomer spontaneously polymerises when it comes into contact with the substrate. Finally, gases that have not reacted are caught in a liquid nitrogen trap between -90 °C and -120 °C. The process uses neither a catalyser nor toxic additives and has a conversion rate of nearly 100 %.
Parylene is a highly technical coating that is ultra-thin and transparent, physically and chemically neutral, inert, biocompatible, insulating and protective, of a thickness that can be sized both easily and precisely ( from 50 nm to 100 microns ). It is totally uniform, pinhole-free and can be applied to small technical components. One of its most remarkable advantages is its form-fitting and penetrating nature.
The combination of these qualities make it an extremely interesting player in the most demanding technological fields, including electronics, micro-electronics, space and aeronautics, medical technologies, pharmacology (elastomers, silicone and plastics), sensors and mems, nanotechnologies, micromechanics, magnets and ferrites.

Sigma DG EF-500/530/610 Super
The appropriate version of the Sigma DG EF-500 Super, Sigma DG EF-530 Super and Sigma DG EF-610 Super can be used as dedicated remote units in other manufacturer's dedicated wireless systems. However, setting up these units a wireless remotes is not very intutive, and the supplied manual is not very clear about how you do this.
Below you'll find my notes on how to set up these flash units to work as Nikon CLS/AWL remotes and normal slaves. If you know how to do this with other flash systems, please use the comment field.
Nikon CLS/AWL
When you do this, it is useful to know that settings up a Sigma flash unit to be used as a remote flash unit off-camera can only be done when the flash is placed in the hot-shoe of the camera, and the camera's metering system is operating. Even if you are going to use a remote unit off camera, you shall have to set it up on camera. And you have to make sure that metering system is on while you're doing it. You turn on the metering system by pressing the shutter button half way down whenever the exposure display turns off.
Below is my notes about how to set the Sigma DG EF-500/530 Super up as an AWL-compatible remote unit on the Nikon D70. I think this or a similar procedure will work on other CLS/AWL-capable Nikon bodies. In the example setup we shall set up the camera and remote flash to use group "1" and channel "C3". You may of course use other values if your camera has this capability
- Use the camera's menu to set the built-in flash to Commander TTL mode. Keep it there throughout the setup and shooting process. Set the zoom control on the lens to the widest angle you plan to use in your photo session. It will remain there during setup and use. Ignore any ISO settings on the flash. They are irrelevant when the flash is set up as a remote unit. If the camera allows you to select groups and channels (the D70 don't), set group "1" and channel "C3".
- Turn off the Sigma flash and mount it in the camera's hot-shoe. Then turn it on again.
- Press the mode control on the flash until you are in the correct
mode. When you're in the right mode, you'll see three lines of
information on the LCD screen of the flash:
- In the upper left of the top line, you'll see "TTL". The rest of the top line is blank.
- On the second line, on the left, you'll see a large lightning bolt joined to a smaller lightning bolt on its right with a dotted line, then on the same line "ZOOM xx mm", where xx is the current zoom setting of the lens.
- On the third and last line, you will see "1 C1 SL". The "1" is the group setting, the "C1" is the channel setting, and "SL" indicates Slave.
- Press the Sel button until the "C1" starts blinking.
- Repeatedly press the + button to set the right channel from C1 to C4. (In our example, the blinking "C1" should become a blinking "C3"). The flash is now set up as a wireless remote unit in group "1", channel "C3".
- When you press Sel button again the group number will blink. You can now press the + button to change the group number. However, since we want group 1, we leave it just the way it is.
- Press the Sel button until no characters on the LCD screen are blinking. Do not attempt to set up any additional flash modes as you cycle through the rest of the options.
- When nothing is blinking, turn off the camera and the flash, separate them, transport the Sigma to the remote location where you want to use it, and turn both on again. The Sigma flash should now be set to operate as a wireless remote unit, using the built-in flash as wireless master in commander mode, in group "1" and channel "C3". Make sure the built-in flash is popped up and set to operate in commander mode with the correct group and channel.
After you have done all this, don't press any more buttons on the Sigma flash (except Test, Light, or Off-On) or you'll have to re-attach it to the camera and re-program it.
If you need to change settings, you need to re-attach the flash to the camera.
While in wireless remote mode the red light on the front of the flash will blink continuously, and the flash will not enter standby, as it does when used in other modes.
Normal Slave mode
The Sigma 500/530/610 DG Super must be set to C0 SL mode (that is the normal slave mode) to be fired from a simple two-contact hot-shoe that is featured on most optical and radio triggers. It will not fire at all in manual mode without a full i-TTL connection to the camera body. It can't be set to FP (high speed sync) or second curtain sync in C0 SL mode.

On January 25, 1959, within three months of his election to the pontificate, Pope John XXIII announced his intention to call an Ecumenical Council to bring about the renewal and reform of all aspects of Church life. The announcement to convene the Second Vatican Council shocked the Roman Catholic world to its core.
Vatican II forced Catholics to think differently about their Church, themselves, and how they live their faith. It is now fifty years since Vatican II began, and its teachings are still being interpreted.
In the words of John Paul II, "For a long time to come it will be granted to new generations to draw on the riches this Council of the twentieth century has blessed us with".
This book presents some of the major themes that resulted in the renewal and reforms of the Roman Catholic Church as a consequence of Vatican II. In presenting these major themes, the book journeys through the Council debates that led to the acceptance of the documents, the content of particular documents, and their implications for the Church today.

EMDR Extra has been offering highly interactive, trainee-centred, innovative, small group trainings since 2002. The training is accredited by EMDR Europe and is highly regarded amongst clinicians. It evolved when EMDR came of age in Britain and some British and European trainers took the initiative to disengage from the American EMDR Institute, EMDRIA, and the use of American trainers in British trainings. This has led to a lively and dynamic European EMDR Association with more than 20 constituent member countries.
Our trainers and facilitators are experienced clinicians
from varied backgrounds:
- Clinical psychology
- Psychotherapy
- Child, adolescent and maternal health
- Combat stress
- Counselling and Nursing
- Cognitive behaviour therapy
The most experienced member of the team (Dr Manda Holmshaw) has published extensively on EMDR and was trained by Dr Francine Shapiro, the founder of EMDR. The training still adheres to Shapiro's principles.
The training coordinator, Nicki Simons, and her team are knowledgeable, professional and always ready to help. Nicki also liaises with Moving Minds' our sister company's clinicians nationally when they express the wish to take on referrals from Moving Minds, an experienced psychological rehabilitation company.
EMDR Training: The Content
- A comprehensive three-part, seven-day training in the theory and practice of EMDR, accredited by EMDR Europe
- Post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), the consequences of adverse life events, current anxieties, phobias, chronic pain and phantom limb pain, complex grief and complex trauma and dissociation, childhood abuse and work with children and adolescents. Emerging work in using EMDR with chronic depression, OCD, eating disorders, eaning difficulties, generalised anxiety disorder and many other difficulties also promises successful outcomes, worldwide.
- Using EMDR as an integrative therapy alongside existing clinical skills
- EMDR as a free-standing therapy for short term focused interventions or part of longer-term psychotherapy
- Intensive clinical supervision & a review of personal progress
After completion of all three parts of the training, you become eligible to work towards accreditation with EMDR UK and Ireland Organisation, already having accumulated 10 hours of supervision. Accreditation can take place, if all the requirements are fullfilled, one year after completing the course.
Our trainings are informative and enjoyable, so much so that attendees often keep in touch with us and each other after completing their training.
Attending one of our trainings also allows you to attend regular Moving Minds Trainings on Hands-on Clinical Topics at a discounted rate (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Ockham Oncology
Ockham implements Leading-edge automation system from Mindprint Inc.
Why Profitability Analysis is Challenging for CROs
It would seem like a simple matter for a CRO to figure out the profitability of any particular study it undertakes. The reality is that this is one of the most difficult—but important— aspects of the business.
The problem is that pharma companies which outsource studies to CROs, employ a so-called unitized method of setting an overall budget. The scheme works something like this: the pharma company pays the CRO for each unit delivered. It is up to the CRO to estimate accurately ahead of project start how much time each professional—whether clinical research associate, project manager, quality analyst, or others—will need to spend in order to produce the deliverable regulatory document, which is called a ―unit.‖ If it turns out that the CRO underestimates the actual time required by the various professionals on the project to create a deliverable unit, then profitability goes down. If certain units are consistently exceeding the estimated time, the budgeting system must be fine-tuned to ensure future profitability. This crucial aspect of the CRO business is handled automatically by the Mindprint software, ensuring much more accurate profitability analysis.
It was a good problem to have. Expecting only about a dozen or so new clinical trials in the next few months, Ockham, a leader in the field of oncology services, suddenly saw its new contracts jump more than five-fold. Having recently acquired a contract research organization (CRO) in Scotland, and, before that, a US-based CRO, Ockham's business was growing quickly—but not without some growing pains.
Even before the acquisitions and growth spurt, Ockham, which provides a full range of services to pharmaceutical companies—from providing top-notch research staff, to managing and conducting end-to-end cancer therapy clinical trials—Ockham faced a big challenge in finding the right software tools to manage the lifecycle of its Clinical Studies.. The company, based in Cary, North Carolina, chose Toronto-based Mindprint Inc. for a company-wide professional services automation (PSA) system that promised to make the entire company more productive and profitable.
―We have completed more than 250 clinical trials for new cancer therapies,‖ explains Jim Baker, founder and CEO of Ockham. ―But one of our biggest challenges was measuring the profitability of each study, simple as that may sound. We just didn't have the right tools in place to do that consistently and accurately.‖ Baker added that integrating the data systems of the new acquisitions was also a challenge that required a new set of tools.
Mindprint, which specializes in enterprise software for CROs, was nearing deployment of Ockham's new custom system—when news of the sudden spurt in business came in. ―We had to move quickly to import a large number of studies into the system,‖ explains Prasad A. Sristi, founder and CEO of Mindprint. ―But we were able to quickly redesign a core part of the system to allow for the importation of a large number of new projects, and make the system much more scalable. We turned a challenge into an opportunity.‖
For Ockham, the business challenges caused by the outdated software, quickly turned into formidable new tools for business growth and profitability. ―We work seamlessly across four continents now,‖ notes Baker. ―Our staff is more effective, our clients are happier, and we are on a sound growth path.‖
The technology that made all this possible is an innovative platform called Axpert, developed by Bangalore, India-based Agile Labs. The patented Axpert system is based on a method of rapidly creating custom enterprise software – without expensive and time-consuming programming.
"Axpert makes application development and maintenance easy, by substantially reducing the effort required,‖ explains Prasad Sristi, founder and CEO of Mindprint—which developed a large library of Axpert modules specifically for CROs. ―Application development using Axpert requires only domain experts. No expensive coding is required."
- Fully functional Professional Services Automation (PSA) system—a single operational system to run the entire company.
- Fully scalable solution that will allow the software system to continue to grow with the company
- Core functionality comprising the following capabilities:
- Study Proposals: built-in flexibility, allows customizable proposals for each client's unique requirements, with risk-free, fixed-bid, engagement model.
- Study Management: includes automated staffing, timesheet and expense report generation.
- Revenue Forecasting: using business intelligence technology that can be fine-tuned by user input. No programing required.
- Resource Planning: allows Ockham to align their professional resources with the client's exact needs.
- Invoicing: highly automated invoice generation cuts invoicing time, allows for high level of individual client personalization
- Customer Relationship Management (CRM): includes client management, lead generation, and site report generation.
- Human Resources (HR): automated expense reports, vacations, and sick days.
- Entire company working on a single & simple-to-use platform. Excellent scalability and low training requirements.
- Much more accurate financial data. No mis-reported units and returned invoices
- Accurate financial forecasts for the entire company. Senior management can look into the next 12 months of expected cash flow with the click of a single button
- More discipline in budgets. Ockham team is able to churn out dozens of budgets from our system every month.
- Invoicing time cut down drastically
- High visibility into profitability. Study profitability is measured down to each unit based on the salary of employees actually working on those units.
- Decreased administration overhead costs. Ockham can quickly start operations in a new country or geography.

Normally i searched up to him being an idol, as though he could take on the whole planet along with his personal two palms.

Dr. Boucek's
Inspiration Goes Afield
Inspired by Dr. John
Boucek's "Celestial Exploring" column in the Wet
Mountain Tribune, my wife Marty
and I recently traveled to Southern Arizona, home of some of the legendary
Astronomical Observatories.
Of particular note was our visit to the Whipple Observatory on top of Mount
Hopkins. After parking at a gate three miles below the summit we hiked the
remaining distance on a narrow winding road to the observatory facilities at
the 13,000 foot level.
Our attention was caught by a huge composite mirror; a gamma ray telescope.
Like a one hundred foot diameter eye made of a multitude of small mirrors,
we enjoyed seeing our images reflected by the hundreds.
Here To See The Gamma Ray Telescope
Suddenly I saw a figure not my own in the reflections. Wayne Peters and
some other members of the Whipple Astronomical Team had come out to answer
any questions we might have about the work done at the observatory.
Not really I replied. But in our Community's newspaper, I told them, Dr.
Boucek Teaches us about the Celestial Realm using a combination of
scientific fact, mythology and humor. Before Wayne could say anything I
started to tell him about the Big Dipper which is also called Ursus Major,
the "Great Bear". I also taught Wayne that Groucho Marx thought that Bears
might have looked more like dippers way in the past.
Well, the astronomical Team at the Observatory are a serious bunch of folks
and getting them to laugh was like "Pulling Teeth" at first, but soon we
were trading Knowledge combined with tall tales that had everyone laughing.
We had made some new Friends.
As you may know, Mt. Hopkins is a Sacred Mountain to some of the American
Indians in the area. Before building the observatory on their Sacred
ground, the Astronomers let some of the Indian Medicine Men or "Shaman" look
through one of the big telescopes in another part of Arizona. The Medicine
Men liked what the Astronomers were doing. Not that much different from
their own interest in the Stars.
Strangers became
After the visit, the Shaman called the Astronomers "The People with long
eyes" and were allowed to participate in some of the projects at the
observatory as valuable contributors.
Everybody working
together as a Team.
If the Whipple Observatory seems interesting; you can join Wayne Peters and
the rest of the Astronomical Team via the Internet by exploring their

And one more thing.... Dr. Boucek; Thanks for Being here with us!

We have had the pleasure of dealing with Nick Begetis recently during the sale of our home.
An absolute pleasure to deal with, Nick was always open and transparent, never placing any unnecessary pressure on us throughout the process.
Having developed a relationship with us over a 6 month period prior to going to market, Nick is the epitome of customer service and client relationships. His responsiveness is second to none.
Nick's understanding and professionalism made what is usually a stressful, anxious period an enjoyable experience.
We have no hesitation in recommending Nick Begetis. He successfully combines his service with results.
Stephen and Theresa Troilo
5/67 Cheltenham Road, Croydon
Dear Nick,
We would like to express our thanks to you and your team at Begetis Estate Agents for achieving a great result on the sale of our property. We could not be happier.
From the moment we signed on with you, we felt we were in good hands. You gave us great advice on all aspects of the sale; from the presentation of property, through to the type of advertising required and then establishing reasonable market expectations for us.
Throughout the campaign you kept us well informed of progress. Furthermore, and very importantly for us, you dealt with us and the potential purchasers with honesty and integrity. These transparent dealings with all parties ensured the process ran smoothly from start to finish.
As a result of this, our place looked great, had a large amount of potential purchasers through it and sold above our reserve. We could not fault your performance and would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone in the area wishing to sell their property.
Kind regards,
Paul & Monica
10/523-527 Liverpool Road, Strathfield
Hi Nick
Just wanted to say thank you for everything!
Your professionalism has shone through in all that you have said & done from the day Dad met you when you were guest speaker at a Probus meeting.
You have displayed patience & diligence over the years that we have talked about selling Dad's home.
I appreciated your honest & transparent approach to your business dealings with both us & potential purchasers. We felt confident that everything about this process has been totally genuine & that was a pleasant surprise given the industry you work in.
It's obvious that your staff have a high benchmark & are well motivated to maintain it & that may be one of the benefits of having chosen an agency that is not part of a massive organisation.
The personal service we received was way above & beyond our expectations. No question was too trivial & your responses were always prompt & comprehensive.
Your confident, genuine & reassuring manner made a potentially stressful experience so much easier for us.
We were delighted with our auction result & based on the total experience of working with you from day one we can only hope that others make as wise a choice as we did in selecting you to handle the sale of our home.
With gratitude,
Julie Matthews

We would like to thank Nick Begetis and his team for the successful sale of our unit.
Nick was recommended to us with the qualities of being reliable, realistic and genuinely committed to achieving a great result for both the vendor and buyer. He certainly demonstrated this during our campaign.
Nick made what could have been a stressful process so much easier with his efficiency, attention to detail, excellent communication and willingness to go the extra mile.
Nick's extensive experience, knowledge of the market and unwavering energy were invaluable to our campaign. We would highly recommend Nick Begetis to anyone who wishes to sell their home.
Thank you again Nick.
Sam Bray and Hana Ogawa
3 Rockleigh Street, Croydon
I highly recommend Nick Begetis and his team to sell your property. Nick acted with integrity and honesty throughout the whole process of getting my house on the market, and then taking it through to a successful auction. He also treated the buyers with respect and honesty, which made the whole process much more pleasant for all concerned. I believe that this inspired confidence in Nick from the perspective of the buyers and developed rapport.
I was most impressed with how organised and well run Begetis Estate Agents was during the sales campaign. Every text or email I sent was responded to promptly, and Nick checked in with me regularly to ask if I was happy with how the sale was going. There was always open and transparent discussion about the sales campaign. He was at every open inspection and handled everything personally which I believe makes a huge difference.
Nick has a great reputation in the community, and I highly recommend him as a real estate agent that consistently gets great results. I believe it is because of his excellent work ethic, attention to detail and great communication skills.
After I sold my property quite a few people mentioned to me that they had worked with Nick, either buying or selling in the past, and they had nothing but praise for him as a business man and personally as well. I think this is the sign of a smart business man who has great people skills, and is also genuinely a nice person. I wish Nick and the agency all the best with their bright future.
Warm regards
Michelle Mravunac

Dear Nick,
Where do we begin to thank you.
When we decided to put our house up on the market, we knew it was going to be a stressful yet exciting journey.
Finding a good Agent who would work along side us was not easy.
We had the pleasure of meeting you and talking to you and from that night we knew we could put our trust in your hands.
From day one, you have been so professional, friendly, easy to talk to and get along with, always keeping us up to date on everything, and supporting us throughout the whole process of putting our house on the market and until the day of the Auction and beyond.
Your team of professionals whether it be the photographers who photographed our house, your printers, your staff , especially Joe and your fantastic Auctioneer have all been wonderful.
We were very happy with the result on the day of the Auction.
We will definitely be recommending you to anyone wanting to buy or sell their property .
Thank you again Nick for everything and we look forward to doing more business with you in the future.
Finocchiaro Family
17 Louden Street, Canada Bay
Hi Nick,
Words could not express how grateful we are for the professional and honest service you provided us with the selling of our home.
We had bad experiences in the past with other Agents and were very careful with choosing the next Agent we where going to use.
We decided on an Agency that wasn't a franchise but a hard working Boutique operation.
That was the best decision we made as you & your team went above & beyond in making our family feel at ease and left us extremely happy with our final outcome. Even after the sale you were always available to answer any queries & went out of your way to assist.
We will not hesitate in recommending you and your staff to family and friends that are thinking of selling.
Thank you again for your effortless work.
With regards
Nick & Irene

Following up on the sale of our property at 34 Weldon St Burwood.
I would like to thank you and your staff for your efforts and results in the sale of our property at 34 Weldon Street Burwood.
Our journey from meeting you at the property on our first visit there to the successful sale was one in which you gave us confidence in yourself and your office.
We respected your follow ups during the time before we committed to your Agency.
We found your manner and constant updates during the sales process professional and well informed.
10/64 Alt Street, Ashfield
Dear Nick,
Just wanted to say how delighted I am that you have sold my property in Ashfield, not only promptly, but at a price that was way beyond my expectations.
I bought the property via your Real Estate Agency and you rented it out for me, providing excellent tenants and service over the ten years of our association.
I could not be happier with your help along the way and would highly recommend your Real Estate Agency to anyone wanting to buy, sell or rent out their property.
Thank you for providing a stress free and positive association, it is very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Linda Ward
12/162 Croydon Avenue, Croydon Park
Hi Nick,
I just wanted to say a very big 'thank you', to you and Joe, for the outstanding result gained on the sale of my apartment.
I have to admit, I was initially sceptical when we discussed a sale price, but boy, did you prove me wrong!
Selling is a very stressful process and I really appreciated the open communication style you used to ease my concerns and guide us smoothly through the sale.
You wished me good luck, but then you made the good luck happen. Great work!
Please also pass my grateful thanks onto George and Marianne and the rental management team, for the hassle-free leasing of my apartment in the years prior to the sale.
best regards,
Carol O'Carroll

Marathwada: Drought, crop failure and farmer suicides. Those are the headlines emerging from Maharashtra's rain shadow region of Marathwada.
But as the monsoon sets in over the state, are there any lessons which farmers have learnt from the terrible droughts over the past four years in this rain shadow region? Some certainly have.
As we travel under an overcast sky in Beed district's Pendgaon village, in the middle of a field we come across a dam-like structure. Climb over the 20-foot high mud walls and one is greeted by a massive black sheet wherein lies the "lesson from the drought." Water.
"For four years we have been struggling because of the severe drought. One day I was watching television and they explained how water harvesting can be a solution. And I was convinced. Now, see the result with just the first few monsoon showers!" explains cotton farmer Amol Dhat.
Mr Dhat's water harvesting initiative is simply a massive pit, 70 feet by 70 feet in size and 40 feet deep with a holding capacity of 32 lakh litres. "That's enough. Once it fills up it will last for 18 months."
The 32-year-old spent ₹7 lakh on two such water harvesting projects, still an expensive investment for most farmers. But awareness has increased with others turning to inexpensive do-it-yourself initiatives.
In Pendgaon itself, 25-year-old Sayyed Salim says he and his friends got together and made a stone and sand filter which will clean rain and waste water that can be reused.
"We dug a 6 foot hole and put sand and stones inside. All the waste and rainwater is directed through a small channel and gets collected here. Now the level in the nearby hand pump will slowly increase. It's simple and we did this without any government help," Salim explains.
However the full benefits can only be reaped if the monsoon does not play truant as has been the case for the past several years. And farmers are hoping the rain clouds will deliver this season.

Lighting : Lighting August 2014 - Vol34 Issue 4
32 LIGHTING MAGAZINE | August/September 2014 teChniCal feature Target group-adequate lighting of shop and retail areas Submitted by Zumtobel and Gruppe Nymphenburg The most recent research in the area of neurosciences has shown that more than 80% of buying decisions at the point of sale (POS) are made unconsciously, mainly depending on influences addressing people's emotions. Perfect lighting plays a major role in this context: customers do not only perceive the goods visually, but will be touched by an attractive lighting scenario at the emotional level. However, the effects of light have so far been evaluated only by means of various questioning techniques, without taking the decisive aspect of the unconscious into account. For that reason, Zumtobel Research jointly with Gruppe Nymphenburg, a Munich-based consultancy and market research institute, initiated a laboratory study in order make the emotional effects of light on customers measurable empirically, recording their physiological responses. "Light has a major unconscious impact on people", explains Dr. Hans-Georg Häusel of Gruppe Nymphenburg. "Therefore, those who wish to collect data that can be empirically measured and also challenged have to deal with the unconscious, carrying out measurements at the place where people's emotional responses originate." THE "LiMBiC MoDEL": CHARACTERiSATioN By pERSoNALiTiES For the laboratory study, the researchers used the "Limbic Model" developed by Gruppe Nympenburg, which focuses on the complex emotional personality structures of consumers. The socio-demographic data of the 48 subjects involved were therefore negligible for the purpose of the study. Instead, the subjects were assigned to seven different personality types – the "Limbic Types" – using a questionnaire. These included the "Bon vivants", the "Hedonists", the "Adventurers", the "Performers", the "Disciplinarians", the "Traditionalists", and the "Harmonisers". The objective of the research project was to find out how these seven groups respond to various lighting scenarios at the POS. For this purpose, a new method In a laboratory study conducted by Zumtobel and Gruppe Nymphenburg it has been possible for the first time to measure people's affective responses to various lighting scenarios in shops on an empirical basis. In the process, the lighting preferences of seven different groups of customers were analysed using a neuropsychological target group model. The findings of this study will help to develop lighting concepts for retail, to present goods perfectly and to increase the customers' sense of well-being, thus making them stay in the shop longer. TECTON LED TECTON is an incredibly powerful, flexible and versatile continuous-row lighting system. It has been architecturally designed to meet the needs of modern retail applications, among others. The TECTON LED modules are available in a variety of beam angles, including the shelf beam specifically for supermarket aisles. member of In shops and retail areas, light has to entice customers to buy as much as possible. Light impacts on mood and emotions to create brand identities – both in positive and negative ways. The question so far is which lighting parameters in a retail environment possess the greatest effect, and which lighting scenarios have a positive impact on emotional perception. Thanks to joint research titled "Limbic Lighting" by Zumtobel Lighting and Gruppe Nymphenburg, several of these questions have now been answered using methods from neuroscience and psychophysiology. The results show that there are clear differences with respect to lighting preferences between the individual target groups. Each target group seems to have its own requirements regarding light. The results of this research have been published in a white paper, available to all lighting practitioners.
