If You Aren't Ready to Embrace the Complexity, Stay Away from Healthcare
HealthTech is a sexy space for entrepreneurs and investors. According to Rock Health, by mid-year 2017, digital health funding was on a record-setting pace. KPCB partner Beth Seidenberg has stated that "Healthcare is really the last industry to be disrupted."
So the new gold rush. Investors, entrepreneurs and technologists are running into a space that has defied all previous attempts at disruption, and with the infusion of new blood, new thinking and new technologies, fix healthcare for good. "Uber for healthcare", here we come…
Not so fast. The impregnability of the walls of healthcare to disruption comes from its unique mixture of regulation, government involvement, large number of ecosystem partners and information asymmetry. I believe it is this last point that is the hardest to tackle as it is baked into the system, for reasons good and bad. As a physician, I took a pledge…in Latin. Primum non nocere. You can't get more rarified than using a dead language. And, from there followed years of highly specialized training with its own rich vocabulary and context that defied attempts at oversimplification. But…as one learns during this journey, the need for this complexity is inherent in health; human biological processes cannot be reduced to a two-sided marketplace with a buyer and seller.
So there are very good reasons why complexity exists in healthcare. I think that is the first fundamental flaw of healthtech visionaries who decide to disregard the nuances of healthcare and rush in with models that are poorly designed to meet the various demands of patients and physicians. Dave Chase published a great article on this point in Why 98% of Digital Health Startups Are Zombies and What They Can Do About It where he states "the most common failure scenario we see is a founding team that is made up of smart technologists who are blind to or dismissive of the idiosyncrasies of healthcare."
I fundamentally feel that the way to disrupt healthcare is to do so from the inside, and that means being able to respect the complexity of healthcare while at the same time focusing on how technology can help drive patient and provider satisfaction and productivity. You don't do that by throwing out the entire model; you do that by focusing on the gaps in the system and providing bridges and connectors to help drive efficiency gains.
A big part of that comes from the "bad" type of information asymmetry, which is the current failure of most health systems to have clinically cohesive care coordination models, particularly in the outpatient space. As physicians we are told to "treat the person, not the disease" but the minute patients leave the hospital, they are by and large left to their own devices, and are driven to access care in bite sized chunks, all delivered by well meaning providers that are focusing only on their small piece of the pie. In the absence of a holistic approach, patients are increasingly turning to self diagnosis (Google being the largest disseminator of healthcare information in the world) but without the training and context that they need to make informed decisions. Little wonder that rates of medical adherence, follow-up on chronic diseases and overall patient engagement stay stubbornly low.
This is where technology can play a critical role working with the providers of care to reduce 'bad' information asymmetry. Creating novel systems of care coordination, healthtech companies can help bring together the fragmented care ecosystem to provide a holistic framework for care. Technology, if applied correctly, should be letting physicians treat the person, and not the disease, by taking into account the great number of variables that help separate successful interventions from failures. Further, rather than creating additional silos (which the first versions of hospital health information systems did) technology solutions must be able to connect with each other, with interoperability and data sharing an absolute given requirement.
All of these things take time and require an intimate understanding of local healthcare systems to be successful. I am confident that as long as healthtech entrepreneurs embrace the complexity of healthcare to make the user experience simple, there will be meaningful impact on this space, the final frontier.

Rapid identification and susceptibility testing using the VITEK® 2 system using culture fluids from positive BacT/ALERT® blood cultures

Background and purpose:
In order to reduce the turnaround time for laboratory diagnosis of bacteremia, the efficacy of identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing using samples taken directly from positive BacT/ALERT® standard aerobic and standard anaerobic blood culture bottles was evaluated.
160 positive blood culture bottles were examined and incubated at 35°C in 5% carbon dioxide for 4-24 h, and an aliquot of the culture fluid was Gram stained. Samples containing Gram-negative bacilli were inoculated on VITEK® 2 ID-GNB (identification-Gram-negative bacilli) and AST (antimicrobial susceptibility testing)-GN04 cards, and those containing Gram-positive cocci were inoculated on ID-GPC (identification-Gram-positive cocci) and AST-P526 cards. The same samples were also examined by the standard method, involving subculture from positive BacT/ALERT standard blood culture bottles.
Eighty seven of 97 Gram-negative bacilli (89.7%) and 21 of 63 Gram-positive cocci (33.3%) were correctly identified to the species level. For antimicrobial susceptibility testing, the direct method had an overall error rate of 5.4% for Gram-negative bacilli, with 0.9% very major, 0.9% major, and 3.6% minor discrepancies compared to the standard method. The overall error rate in antimicrobial susceptibility testing for the 13 Staphylococcus spp. was 10.3%, with 6.0% very major, 2.6% major, and 1.7% minor discrepancies.
These data suggest that VITEK 2 cards inoculated with samples taken directly from positive Bact/ALERT blood culture bottles would provide acceptable identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing results for Gram-negative bacilli, but not for Gram-positive cocci. Compared to the standard method, the direct method would reduce turnaround time by at least 24 h.
Key words:
Bacterial typing techniques; Gram-positive bacteria; Gram-negative bacteria; Microbial sensitivity tests; Reagent kits, diagnostic

Seth Stein gets mistaken for a 'potential terrorist' because he, "was using an iPod, had used the toilet when he got on the plane and that his tan made him appear 'Arab'."
Seth Stein is a Top British architect who says, "that the airline failed to protect him from the gung-ho actions of an over-zealous passenger who claimed to be a police officer. He has now instructed a team of top US lawyers to act for him."So he's going to sue because those in charge of the plane couldn't calm down the passengers who in essence were 'terrorizing' him. Seriously.
If they use that logic–how many people would be 'potential terrorist?

WEST ORANGE, NJ - Amid the chaos that took place on Thursday, Feb. 18, as buses were running late to arrive at West Orange High School, due to heavy traffic, a fire, and power outages which ended up closing the high school and Pleasantdale Elementary School that day, one West Orange High School junior, Justin Davis, learned of a situation on another bus that needed attention, and went out of his way to display compassion and kindness.
When West Orange mother, Denise Gustavson, posted in the West Orange 411 Facebook page that she needed to contact her special needs son who was stuck on one of the dormant buses, Davis came to her rescue by getting off his bus, checking on the boy, and contacting his mom to assure her that her son was alright.
While this might seem like a simple act, Davis' portrayal of kindness not only touched the Gustavson family, but the entire community.
Members of the Facebook group followed the mother's request, offered suggestions, and ultimately reveled in the resolve Davis offered. It was live action heroism via social media.
Following the resolution to the situation, resident and group member, Marci Echeverria wrote, "Okay, maybe I'm extra emotional…but that whole Justin/Denise conversation made me burst into tears. I don't know either of you, but Justin—you totally rock. Totally and completely. Now somebody hand me a tissue."
Carol Anne Holland, another resident and group member added, "Justin, I hope if any of my kids are ever having trouble they have a kid like you on their side helping out! It may seem like no big deal, but to a worried mama bear your reassurances were huge."
"I am proud to live in West Orange, especially after reading this thread," wrote resident Eileen Ippolito.
Gustavson added, "It definitely helped knowing that someone was trying to check on David for me. Thankfully he was fine."
She added, "My mother in law has a needlepoint that has always touched me. It says something like 'Be kind to strangers. You never know who is an angel in disguise.' I guess Justin is one of them. A very sweet young man."
When members of the Facebook group learned that Davis was raising money through a GoFundme campaign to fund a drum tour, they came together to help him raise $1,950—that very same day.
In fact, on Feb. 18, Barry Geltzeiler, a member of the page wrote, "Justin Davis hit his goal. The young man paid it forward by helping Denise Gustavson's son without looking for anything in return. Well WO thanks you Justin, go enjoy Drum Camp and continue to make us proud."
Group member Janice Berman then posted, "Love our community! Enjoy camp Justin, you've certainly earned it, along with the respect of your neighbors."
Davis told TAP, "What I did wasn't for the money or the acknowledgement. It was just to help a parent and child in need."
He added, "I know if my mother was in the same situation, she would have wanted someone to help her get in touch with her son. To me, it was second nature to help someone in need."
Davis was also recognized for his act of kindness by the West Orange Board of Education and Superintendent on Monday evening at the BOE meeting.
President of the WOBOE, Laura Lab, wrote, "His spontaneous and unassuming act of compassion and kindness speaks volumes as to the core of his character."
Member of the West Orange 411 page, Carol Anne Holland, posted live from the BOE meeting, stating, "Justin Davis being honored at BOE meeting. I never cry in public. I'm tearing up now listening to Denise Gustavson describe how her son was helped by another student last week. Thank you Justin Davis."
Later, Suzanne Pennell, another member of the page wrote, "I cried too. Justin Davis, you truly are an awesome young man. Denise Gustavson, I can only imagine how you were feeling last week and I am so glad Justin was there to help you and your son. So proud."
In addition, after the meeting, Lab posted to the page too writing, "I too was very moved and it was difficult to hold it together as I ran the meeting. It was difficult as I too have a 'David' and I have walked in Denise's shoes many times hoping that someone as caring and compassionate as Justin reached out to help my son."
Davis, however, is not only compassionate, but also talented and dedicated to his academics. In addition, was also enterprising and helpful this winter, by offering to help shovel show for residents.
In addition, Davis has a band called Citrus that plays and sings mostly soul, jazz, funk, and gospel. The group has played at several town events including the recent Martin Luther King, Jr., event and the Feb. 19th Black History Month Dinner at West Orange High School. The band is comprised of trombonists Tahir Springer and Alex Frey, saxophonists Ryan Goodman and Austin Jackson, keyboardist Nick Mongelli, guitarists Josh Winik and Sam Klein, and lead singer Gabriella Rodriguez.
In addition, thanks to the generosity of the community, Davis will indeed be going on tour this summer to march for Drum Corps International (DCI), a non-profit governing body for junior drum and bugle corps in the U.S. and Canada. He will be marching with the Raiders Drum and Bugle Corps as a tenor drummer. Their first competition will take place on July 1, in Clifton, NJ.
Anita Calmday is a student at West Orange High School Student participating in a journalism program with TAPinto.net.

In a Microsoft SubNet article Mr. Barnicle of Pacific Crest Securities states that the company biggest problem is its image. Refer to http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/38350
Microsoft's image has been battered. The public's perception is that the I'm a PC ads and the Seinfeld ads failed to capture the consumer and improve the company image. In the comment section of the previous post "Who Will Lead Microsoft" is this following link: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2344107,00.asp
Apple has through their advertising openly targeted Microsoft. Microsoft in a effort to improve its image hired the hot new agency Crispin. This firm has created a series of campaigns which have included comedian Jerry Seinfeld. However, the commercials have failed to capture consumers.

In the above report the author refers to the notion that through these commercials Microsoft is ultimately admitting that it is Number 2. This is not going to improve Microsoft. It is perhaps the worst move possible to further damage the company image. In essence it is Microsoft admitting defeat.
Could someone have stepped into the ring with Mohamed Ali and said I am "cool" and you are a "nerd" therefore I am going to win?
Mohamed Ali would reply "I move like a butterfly and sting like a Bee". Let's get a reality check. Ali was the world champ, and unless you are strong enough the "cool" component is not relevent. Unless you were the strongest and biggest, Ali was going to punish you in the ring.
This campaign has mentioned that Microsoft is losing share to Apple. However, Microsoft still controls over 80% of the OS market share. It is still the champ. But, through these commercials the company is essentially saying "we are the chumps". It should be saying "we are bigger, we are stronger, and as the Queen song says "WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD".
Why should Microsoft concede its the "nerd" when in reality it's the "BIG" kid on the block?
Refer to: http://www.newsfactor.com/story.xhtml?story_id=65597&full_skip=1
Within the above CBS Marketwatch report the author refers to the former Win95 commercials. These commercials captured the consumers attention. It caused consumers to desire the product.
This campaign has created a series of commercials that will dramatically improve the company image.
1)The scene begins with Adam and Eve walking through the Garden of Eden. Eve is about to pick an Apple from the tree.
A voice then states "Resist the temptation. Resist the Apple". The screen then shows the Microsoft logo with the words
Microsoft. The Better Choice. Always.
2)The scene begins with two kids sitting in a school cafeteria. Both the boys are opening their lunches. Boy 1 states "What do you have?"
Boy 2 replies "I have cake what do you have?"
Boy 1 states "I have an Apple, do you want to trade?"
A voice then states "Resist the temptation. Resist the Apple".
The screen then appears showing the Microsoft logo with the following:
Microsoft. The Better Choice. Always.
3)It will open with a scene from the Walt Disney movie "Wild Hogs". It will show the character Dudley displaying his Apple tattoo.
The dialogue continues as follows: Dudley- "I'm a biker, dude! I got a tat!"
Doug- "It's an Apple…"
Dudley- "I know. Trademarked. But what are they gonna say?
A voice then states "Resist the temptation. Resist the Apple". The screen then appears showing the Microsoft logo:
Microsoft. The Better Choice. Always
4) It will open with a scene from the Walt Disney movie "Wild Hogs". Dudley is sitting in a restaurant and states "Mac, open Internet please".
Computer responds: Command Unknown
Dudley: I think I have to search "alternative specs".
Computer: Searching "alternative sex".
Edit the clip to end with the Mac computer overheating with smoke coming out of it. Screen then appears showing:
Microsoft. The Better Choice. Always
Refer to http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809426511/trailer
Prior to the launch of Windows 7 Microsoft will present the following two advertisements.
1)It will present a commercial similar to Win95 commercial Refer to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VPFKnBYOSI
This commercial has the song "Start Me Up". It was a commercial that captured attention. It created consumer reaction. It created a positive image. Win95 was associated with the song and was for lack of better terminology "cool". The commercial will follow a similar format. However, it will be filmed with New footage. The commercial will end with the screen showing:
Windows 7. Start it Up.
2)It will follow a format similar to Win95 and the above Windows 7 format. However, it will incorporate the Beatles song "Got to Get You Into My Life". Refer to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22H1ciSvVm8
The format will follow the Win95 commercial format. It will involve the Beatles song. The screen will then appear showing the following:
Windows 7. Get It Into Your Life.
3)Following the same format as the above two commercials it will include the Queen song "We are the Champions". It will demonstrate the product and what it can do. However, in the song is the line "they are the losers". At that point of the song it will show a "Mac" on the screen. The commercial ends and the screen shows the Microsoft logo and states:
Windows 7. Be A Champion.
Microsoft is confronted with a battered image. Based on the response of consumers with Microsoft's previous commercials the company is failing desperately in its efforts to improve its image. The consensus is that Crispin is failing to improve Microsoft's already battered image. Joe Wilcox of Microsoft Watch states that the company is required to fire Crispin.
The company is required to get consumers excited about Microsoft products. Microsoft needs to approach presenting its brand similar to a movie premier. It needs to excite the consumer to the point they can no longer wait. This is what the company did with Win95. Consumers have stated that it has become a dinosour. It's time the company get back to its roots. Show the consumers that this is STILL THE NUMBER ONE software company in the world and we mean business.
One of the most powerful and most mandatory necessities for the company is to instill consumer confidence and improve brand image. Improving brand image will unlock a tremendous amount with shareholder value. A large pert of the low company share price is directly linked to brand perception. However, it is integral to ensure that the product delivers on the promises to ensure brand perception.
Prior to launching these commercials, based on Microsoft employee feedback, it is integral to ensure the product is revised and ready for consumers. Failure to deliver a superior product will prove counter-productive for the advertising commercials. Microsoft through advertising and proving its still "Number One" will improve the company image and brand perception.
Ultimately this will unlock shareholder value.

-Others in the Gotei 13, think that he is too kind even to those that threaten his life
-Tends to believe everyone has a good heart

Overall Personality:
Good Nature– There isn't no secret that Yasashiku is a very polite individual who almost always use suffixes when addressing other captains and even lieutenants. This polite nature is seen in battle where he always gives him name to the individual he is about to engage with. And use the right suffixes accordingly. Though the battles he had are few and far between; he had left a memorable impression on those who he had the chance to fight. Some of those in Gotei 13 believe Yasashiku's "good" nature will be the downfall of him, however the captain thinks other-wise. His kind heart is also shown when asking for test subjects rarely does he force anyone into doing testing though he does give them incentives to do such things. Depending on the risk that is involved in the "experiment" the incentives can vary.
Unlike Mayuri Kurotsuchi; Yasashiku Kurotsuchi actually values the lives of those who he experiment on. Doing everything possible to make sure his patients lives. Though one can't save everyone and thus death happens, in which case he will personal make sure they have a proper burial.
Women– There is a running joke between Shiku and those who knew him during the academy. The joke is that; Every girl will love and hate him. They will hate him for he looks better then most of them and they will love him for he looks better then most guys. It isn't Shiku's fought that his appearance is very feminine like. Shiku's love life is regular to say the least, he dates but nothing is really serious just harmless dating. Though that doesn't mean he doesn't want to find the one, however he isn't rushing it and just enjoying life. Though there is a rumor that he has a crush on a certain female captain...however rumors are nothing but rumors right.
Genius– Not going to spend must time here for Shiku, is a genius to every aspect of the word. Some think that he was a nature born genius, sadly he wasn't. He worked his ass off absorbing any and all information like a sponge and never letting it go. Then again he can thank Mayuri for that; However one will realize that he is even smarter then Mayuri due to the modifications he made to his invention approving them.
Battle Tactician–Depending on the situation; Shiku's fighting style tends to evolve depending on the opponent's style meaning. He will start out fighting one way, only to change in the middle of battle if it's necessary. Though no matter what, his speed is his key factor. That doesn't mean he can't fight without his speed for he can and do so very well. And rarely does he use his bankai, unless it's necessary. He can successful kill someone or something without it.
Profession Information
The post-academy history of Yasashiku, is shrouded in mysterious for the most part. Records that usually would tell one about when and where an individual was born along with the parents of said individual. Though for Yasashiku's case most if not all of his personal records have seamlessly disappeared from the holding location. One should not worry though for there is some information that is known post-academy. Though it's sketchy at best.
From what is known through friends who had associated with the man known as Shiku, is that he grew up in the twentieth northern rukongai district. His parents was a young couple who due to financial reasons couldn't raise him and thus left him at the orphanage in hopes that he will find a decent home. Sadly, this wouldn't be the case for young; Shiku he was constantly bounce between various homes and always seem to return back to the orphanage. Many wondered if this had caused mental damage to the young child but as far as it could be seen, it hasn't. For young Yasashiku was always seen with a smile on his face.
Years would past before a man would change his life, or at least that's the rumor. An unknown man came there and visited the young Shiku every day and night. No one knew who this man was and where he came from or why he was interested with the young child. It would seem that Shiku had finally found someone who actually cared about him and dedicated time just for him. This doesn't mean that he didn't enjoy the company of others within the orphanage, for he did it just that...he felt something was a missed. On Shiku's ninth birthday the man told the owner of the orphanage that he is going to place the child into the Soul Academy for this child was special. So thus, the young Shiku was placed within the Academy with a last name and was sent to learn the ways of the elite.
"First day of school...yay...wait say what!?"
Going into the Academy was fun for Shiku to say the least. He enjoyed every single minute of it. Even the boring lectures that some of the teachers gave the students was interested to the young man. Whatever was given, was instantly absorbed like a sponge by him and he could recall it at any given time. This unique ability to retain information was the main reason that caught the attention of current 12th division captain; Mayuri. Though the captain didn't out right confront the child, he merely observed the child from afar.
Talking to various teachers and friends that were close to the young child. A year before Shiku graduated he was approached by; Mayuri. Though no reason was given Mayuri asked Shiku to come visit the research department. So for that remain year, he was a constant visitor an offering help with minor tasks around the department. It was that year when Shiku understood exactly where he wanted to be and that was within the confinements of the Research department. So with the help of Mayuri who had drew fond of the boy; pulled some strings and manage to get Shiku within his division.
For the years going up to his Captaincy; Shiku learnt everything possible from the great Mayuri. With every breath he took, his mind was slowly growing. He understood the components that made up the superhuman drug that Mayuri had created. Where others have failed to connect the dots, he had succeeded and Mayuri was less then proud of him, though he would never admit it.
It would come a time that Mayuri wanted to dedicate himself to his research and stepped down from Captaincy. So who was his replacement you might ask? No other then Yasashiku, he was the perfect candidate for the position and one of the strongest within the division.
"Read it when you ready"
After becoming captain, he was arranging stuff within his officer when Mayuri walked in and handed him a torn/tattered journal. Mayuri told Shiku to read it when he was ready to know the truth. So that night he began to read it and the context that was within the bindings shocked him to the core. Mayuri was the man who constantly visited him when he was in the orphanage. Mayuri was the man who took time out of his day to meet this child who he did not know. So, the insane scientist wasn't that crazy after all. Though one part of the book disturbed Shiku, for it told of a experiment that Mayuri did upon himself that made him forget about Shiku.
The reason was a good one, for Mayuri didn't want Shiku to be used against him. And for he wouldn't feel like he was favoring an individual. It was also during this time that Shiku; learnt how to use Shunko from spending time with the kido master and such. It was also during this time, that he made modifications to his zanpakuto. Too this day he works closely with Mayuri despite having other captaincy duties. And he also adopted Mayuri's last name for reasons unknown to the rest of Gotei 13.
Zanpakuto Information
-Shikai:Hinahouou[Young Mythical Phoenix Bird]
-Bankai: Houou-Gokurakuchou[Mythical Phoenix Bird of Paradise]
Zanpakuto Sealed Appearance:
Zanpakuto Spirit Information:
–Name: Prefers to be called; Hina
–Age: Appears late twenties
–Gender: Female
–Attire: Various from; Though she for most of the time she wears a tight red mini-skirt that is very short.
–Abilities: Within Shiku's inner world, Hina has been shown to skillful bend/manipulate Light and Fire. Along with the mystical phoenix flames that she can produce.
Inner World:
Shiku's world is very simple to say the least; It resembles that of black distorted energy. One's eye-sight becomes useless within the world. Sound is non-existence and the only way to communicate with the spirit is through a mental connection they share. The world is built so that Shiku is always handicap and must rely on other senses. However his inner world changes when he enter's bankai.
Release Phrase(if Applicable):
"Welcome to Paradise, Hinahouou!"
Shikai Appearance:
Entire Length: Six Feet
Blade Length: Two Feet
Blade Type: Serrated
Besides the given information Hinahouou is still coated with the superhuman drug[read before for details] meaning get struck with it is bad for your health. On both sides of the blade is the etching of a phoenix, presumably Hina.
Shikai Overall Ability:
Hinahouou abilities revolve around manipulation and the creation of phoenix flames. Unlike normal flames those that are produce from Hinahouou has a resistance to water(along with reiryoku enchanted water). Making water attacks basically useless against this zanpakuto. Hinahouou's flames is very strong against other fire type zanpakutos often time consuming the flames to only strengthen it onself. Due to the close bond that Hinahouou and Shiku has; he can also use these flames to heal various wounds upon his body. However, these flames can't heal others. A unusual aspect about Hina(for short)'s flames is the fact it seem to strengthen in the day time, though this is just because Hina feeds off the sun's energy. But when night time falls her strength of the flames does not weaken.
Captain's Only
Bankai Name:
Bankai Appearance:
(Picture will do)
Bankai Overall Ability:
Houou-Gokurakuchou[Till prefers to be called Hina] shikai abilities seem to strengthen more. The flames are extremely stronger as evident that those within three meters of Shiku will have their clothes turn to ash. Again the flames does not effect Shiku though his body temperature does increase slightly. Besides the abilities process in Shikai, Shiku is now able to control the heat from the bankai. This allows Shiku to send blast/shockwaves made entirely of super-heated air at the opponent. The heated air can easily cause third degree burns if one is hit directly with them. Hina also gives Shiku's a boost in speed.[only list some abilities that can be used in shikai/bankai]
Shikai Abilities
Wave of Flames
By doing a sweeping motion with Hina, a "wave" of intense flames will speed towards the opponent. This is a very broad attack, if hit directly one can suffer life threatening burns.
Cool Down:
Claws of the Phoenix
Creates three fire tornados that acts like an extension of Shiku's arm. Besides the obvious offensive purposes, Shiku can use the super-heated air for other offensive techniques. For the unlucky victim who gets trapped within a tornado, they will be subjected to intense winds that can lacerations to their body and burning.
Three Posts
Cool Down:
Four Posts
Bankai Abilities
Meteor Strike
Causes a giant fireball(same size of a cero oscuras) to be fire from the hilt of the blade. The blast does not explode on contact, but instead turns into a tightly packed twister around the individual in which it has made contact with.
Cool Down:
Three Post
The ability allows for Hina to sacrifice herself in order to bring back the fallen Shiku. This ability is quite rare to say the least for the wielder and the spirit must have a perfect bond with each other. And as the mystical bird itself; Shiku will be reborn in a pile of ashes. His wounds completely heal and knowledge till intact. And what about Hina? She as well will be repair and rejoin her partner as his zanpakuto spirit, though this rebirth ability will be nonexistence.
Cool Down:
Academy Information
Pole-Arm User:
The most scariest thing about him, is that simple fact his skills of user pole-arms(more importantly Nagamaki), is matched by no other.
Hand to Hand:
Mastered[Step or two slower then Soifon...]
Expert[But rarely uses it]
Shakaku[Angel of Fire]: After studying the Shunko ability that is used by Yoruichi and later on Soifon. Shiku had developed his own unique version of it, that is known as Shakaku. The principles for it till remain the same the only difference is, that pressurize kido is replaced by Hina's reiryoku. Shiku does not need to be in direct contact to draw upon the spirit's reiryoku and thus can use it without it. The draining of reiryoku does not affect the spirit at all, in fact Hina thinks it tickles. When using shakaku, Shiku's body glows a faint red color; the technique enchants his overall strength/speed. But most of it goes to his arms and legs allowing greater movement. The technique can also nullify others movement; along with giving them serve burns.
Referring to the burns, Shiku can control the intensive of the pressurize heat that surrounds his body. In the same manner that those who use Shunko can fire kido from any part of their body. Shiku can fire compress super-heated air from any part of his body which can cause third degree burns. Shiku has yet to fully master this technique due to the superhuman drug within his body that also increases his reaction speed. Even not mastered he can easily keep up with Soifon when she uses Shunko.[He can control this form for roughly 12 posts]
Other Information:
Hokiku-Zai(Flesh-mending Drug): The drug that was developed by his adopted father, it's known as a regenerative serum which can regrow limbs upon injections and is green-ish in color. When inject it takes a medium amount of time for the a lost limb to regenerate [three posts]. It can also be used to heal less severe wound(Instant through One post). In order to have with him at all times, he caries several pills that have this drug within them for easy and quick consumption.
Data-Gathering Bacteria: A microscopic bacteria that constantly gathers data from those in which it had been implant on. These bacteria can be place by any form of contact between him and the one who he wants to observe. All data that is gathered is sent to the user's brain in which is process by a modified version of the bacteria. From battle tactics, to fears...to habits all of this information is gathered allowing him to a step or more ahead. [[ In order of fairness I will warn you occly when he is caring them on him.]]
Superhuman Drug: A drug that was manufactured by Mayuri Kurotsuchi; it slows down a person's perception of time. It is able to make one second seem like 100yrs for the unfortunate victim to whom it is administered. An undiluted dose of the drug causes the senses to speed up trillions of times while the relatively "slow" body fails to keep up, resulting in paralysis. This version of the drug is embedded within his zanpakuto and also coated along the blade. [[Takes two posts to activate]]
Diluted Superhuman Drug: As stated in the "Superhuman Drug" a single droplet must be diluted 250,000 times to be suitable for use. He has successfully diluted the drug so that it's able to be consumed by others. He is the only to consumed the drug and thus his reaction speed has been greatly enchanted to the point it has surpass the natural boundaries of shinigami and the likes of Soifon and Youichi.
Anti-Race[Arrancar, Bount, Vizard, etc] Mine/Weaponary: Using the knowledge of making the "anti-arrancar mine" He has successfully created mines that detonate violently when it's sensors picks up the reiastu of an; Arrancar, Bount, Vizard, Special Human, Quincy. Though each mine is rigged accordingly for each race. Not only that he has made grenades that work on the same principle of the mines. Depending on the opponent's race; the blast can vary for each race. [[Again, I won't use the mines unless there is an invasion on Soul Society, in which case I will have a topic stating where they are placed.]]
Garganta: The technique used by Hollows to move to and from Hueco Mundo. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway.[[ Duration: Instant, Cool Down: Two]]
Nano Eyes: Within his retina are small nanobytes that activate when one's none eye-sight is useless. Upon activation Shiku can tract an individual by the heat from their body or through the reiryoku that flows through them. This is also allows him to break illusions or any forms of trickery. It's rather unknown when he implanted the nanobytes in his eyes.
Writing Sample
The captain of the 12th division had played an important role through the centuries within soul society. Rarely does they get praised for by others for their working, thus leading them to self- appraisal or praising from those within their own division, which isn't really that special. For those within thee own ranks should praise each other for their workings, no matter how important or in some cases...well rather most cases pointless they are, right? Due to being subjected to one's own praising or that of those within their divisions. Those that we know who have held the title of captain and lead researcher of the research/technology department had often suffered from some type of mental instability.
From the great urahara kisuke, who was renown for his works at creating various gigais but more importantly the one instrument that had caused the creation of the vizards. Which ultimately created the war with the tyrant known as aizen sosuke. Though this great man had left soul society for good, and is now living within the human world. Despite that his legacy as a great scientist would be replaced by someone who was placed within that dreaded...maggot nest.
So who will take the place of urahara kisuke? The insane but yet very brilliant man known as mayuri kurotsuchi . With the introduction of mayuri kurotsuchi, soul society would enter into a period like no other. Just like the evil scientist that we have read about we were growing up. Mayuri had created numerous of inventions some which were beneficial to soul society, while others where more beneficial to himself only. Mayuri was also the only captain who had made their on lieutenant, which was a feat like no other. But at last every great thing must come to an end, for the retiring of the great kuruotsuchi.
A new legacy was started with yasashiku being the main focus. The now captain adopted the last name of kuruotsuchi in a sign of respect for the man. Though one may wonder could this new captain live up to the legacy of those before him? And what the mental instability that all the captains seem to share? Will yasashiku follow suit? Or will he rise above and blaze a new legacy of his own...only time will tell.
A sigh escaped Captain kuruotsuchi's lips as he finish writing the article for soul society newspaper. Standing up from his desk and moving towards the exit, he turns off the light to the room before heading to his personal chambers. "Time to rest..."

CFCL Welcomes Forthcoming Rise in UK Feed in Tariff
Minister confirms strong support for Micro Heat and Power
Ceramic Fuel Cells (AIM / ASX: CFU) a leading developer of high efficiency and low emission power products for homes and other buildings, welcomes the recent comments made by Greg Barker, UK Minister of State (Climate Change) MP, during an adjournment debate on micro heat and power ("micro-CHP") at the House of Commons.
The Minister confirmed his intention to raise the UK feed in tariff for micro-CHP, remove the 30,000 cap in the upcoming Phase 2 of the feed in tariff consultation, provide support to the ambition of a 1 million unit installed base by 2020 and for future regulatory measures to drive micro-CHP uptake.
The UK currently provides a feed in tariff for micro CHP products, which generate power and heat on-site. The tariff is 10 pence for every kilowatt hour of electricity generated plus an additional three pence for every kilowatt hour of electricity exported to the grid. Ceramic Fuel Cells' BlueGen product is the first and currently the only fuel cell micro CHP product to receive certification under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) and be eligible for the feed in tariff.
Comments made by Minister Barker included:
"Micro-CHP can play a much larger role in driving the decentralised energy revolution…there are few homes that couldn't benefit from micro-CHP… There is a clear role for Government leadership to bring micro-CHP to market…as an attractive, price-competitive alternative to taking electricity from the grid or installing a conventional boiler."
Commenting on the Minister's intentions, Paddy Thompson, Business Development Manager, CFCL, said:
"Decentralised energy production via micro-CHP offers significant efficiency savings and it is very encouraging to hear that the UK government fully recognizes this and intends to plays its part in supporting the growth of the micro-CHP industry.
"CFCL's BlueGen is the only fuel cell based micro-CHP product available to the UK residential market with the necessary approvals to receive the feed in tariff. As one of the world's leading companies committed to driving down energy costs via micro-CHP, CFCL looks forward to supporting the initiatives of the UK government."
Ceramic Fuel Cells' BlueGen product converts natural gas into electricity and heat for hot water for homes and other buildings. BlueGen delivers an electrical efficiency of up to 60 percent – the highest in the world. When the heat from BlueGen is used to produce hot water, total efficiency increases to up to 85 percent.

Iceland – unique island with a great vision
Iceland – unique island with a great vision
Article by Dagur Jonsson
Iceland is an island just about the size of Kentucky State. This small sized island lies in the northern direction in the Atlantic Ocean just east to Greenland and it also touches the Arctic Circle. The land of Iceland is also famous as it is one of the most aggressive volcanic regions of the world. More than thirteen percent of Iceland's total land is covered by glaciers or are snowfields. Major part of Iceland's total population inhibits only in the seven percent part of the island because that seven percent land is considered a very fertile coastland. The gulf stream of Atlantic Ocean keeps the climate of the Iceland milder and temperature very moderate than what is expected in an island around Arctic Circle.
It is believed that the first inhabitants of Iceland were the hermits from Ireland. These hermits vacated this island when pagan Norse people arrived here in ninth century. A constitution was formed in 930 A.D and a democracy and a parliament was formed which is also known as Althing. Now Althing has the honor to be the world's oldest still running legislative assembly. The history of Iceland is very well preserved in the Icelandic sagas written during 13th century.
In the year 1262, Iceland was occupied by Norwegian rule and was further given to the ultimate control of Denmark through the very famous 'the kalmar union' in which kingdoms of Norway, Sweden and Denmark united in 1397. In the year, 1874, Iceland gained their own constitution and then in 1918, Denmark recognized Iceland as a separate country and unlimited sovereignty through the act of union. By this time also, Iceland was partially under the rule of Danish monarchy. During the Second World War when Germany attacked on Denmark first the British troops and then the American troops landed in Iceland and used it as the strategic air base. According to historians, neutral Iceland supported its allies through out the war. On June 17th, 1944, after the official referendum Iceland was declared independent republic and the Althing also proclaimed it as an independent republic.
Iceland joined NATO [North Atlantic Treaty Organization] in 1949 and its maiden American air force base in 1951. In 1971 it was recognized by EFTA [European Free Trade Association]. In the year 1972, Iceland extended its fishing coastline to 200 nautical miles from 3 nautical miles. This was done without the consent of England. For this reason both Iceland and England were trapped in the dispute known as the cold wars. This dispute ended in 1976 with England agreeing to the new fishing borders of Iceland. In the year 1980, Iceland made yet another history, when it became the first country in the world to have a woman president in the office of the presidency. It was the case of the year 1990, when after the recession the economy and the financial condition of Iceland stabilized.
Iceland refused to sign the agreement which stated that moratorium of commercial whaling will continue as it was since 1986. This incident took place in the meeting of the International Whaling Commission in 2001. Finally in 2003, Iceland agreed on the initialization of hunting of whales for researches and experiments.

A middle age man, who wears lavish clothing. He has 2 rings on him one has a jewel on it the other a symbol. He is also known to have a constant set of keys on him that has the jail, his house, and a specific room in the brothel.
Sean Von Vallas became mayor of Rorken after his father passed be became drunk on power and became money corrupted. He was married and had a son Erak. A few years after Erak was born his wife died because of an incident with an elf passing through the town. This started an extreme hatred against elves in Sean. He also became very obsessed with making his son as happy as he could be not matter what. This caused Erak to become a pompous jerk as he grew up. When Cade Beckenshire killed Erak with a flowerpot it caused Sean to finally break. When he could not find Cade to exact his revenge he started taking it out on the towns people in different ways. By making taxes more extreme, being more harsh with the laws especially against elves.
He now frequents the city brothel when he is not using his elven slaves.

Cryptocoryne crispatula, also known as the Balansae plant, has very long, thin leaves with ruffled edges and relatively short stems. This plant is amphibious, and when grown out of the water, the leaves will shorten, lose the ruffle, and take on a rounded appearance.
Reproduction within this species is by adventitious plants, or by seed. Allow the new plant to form its own leaves prior to separating it from the mother plant, and relocating it in the aquarium.
The Balansae plant benefits from regular additions of CO2, iron rich fertilizers, and trace elements.

4 Ways to Freshen Up Your Fitness
September 30, 2015
Whether you're just starting a fitness program or have been training year-round, spicing up your routine can help you stay on track. Here's our list of four ways to freshen up your fitness this fall to help you stay motivated through the holidays.
Take a class that you normally wouldn't
To complement my half-marathon training, I registered for classes I would never have considered before. For a couple times a week for 10 weeks, I woke up before the sun to do strength exercises such as push-ups, planks, and mountain climbers in a high-energy group environment. After those classes ended, I decided to try out a few barre workouts, which combine Pilates, yoga, and ballet. Though challenging, I felt energized after each class.
Work with a trainer
I've heard time and time again about the benefits of working with a trainer but never had the opportunity. Recently, I was fortunate to work with Certified Personal Trainer and Strength and Conditioning Specialist Tim Rabetoy on a basic strength training program. Over a few sessions, Tim helped me to understand proper form, feel comfortable weight lifting, and challenge myself. Read a few tips from Tim by fellow bloggers Danielle Douglass and Neal Iwamoto.
Find gear you love
Nothing inspires me to lace up my shoes and get out the door more than headbands, shirts, athletic pants, socks, earphones, etc. that I love. Find what you're drawn to and consider adding it to your collection.
Invite a friend to join you
Working out with friends can provide a much-needed boost whether you're running, weight lifting, or exploring a new class. In addition to helping you stay on track, it's also a great way to socialize and support each other's well-being.
Do you have any tips to revamp your fitness routine? Let us know in the comment section below!

CHICAGO (CBS.MW) -- In the second recall of Firestone tires by Ford Motor Co., drivers have been forced to ride in the back seat.
Consumers are confused and investors are bemused amid a 13-million tire recall that pits the world's No. 2 automaker against one of its oldest suppliers, Firestone.
Just how good was that relationship in the first place? Given the sparring we've seen since the news broke last month, it couldn't have been that cozy to start with considering it was the second Firestone recall. As with fighting parents, it's the kids who are neglected even as Ford, in a $3 billion paternal gesture, moves to make things right.
This can't be good business for either party.
For Ford's, it's all the more important because the Explorer has been one of the most important SUVs ever since it brought that vehicle class mainstream.
Is it a reason to avoid Ford stock, even as Firestone says the problem is with the Explorer SUV and Ford says it's the tires? Banc of America Securities analyst Ron Tadross doesn't think so.
He wrote in a research note late last week that his survey of dealers indicates 73 percent still expect higher Explorer sales than last year. Moreover, he said Ford shares are a better choice than General Motors, the world's biggest automaker, on a risk-reward basis.
He also said though that the recall is a sign the industry itself, not just Ford, is not in sync with its suppliers when it comes to these sorts of issues. Ford disagrees.
Chutes and letters
Since Rep. W.J. "Billy" Tauzin, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, started steering the issue from Washington, it's gotten a lot more difficult for drivers to know just how safe their tires are. His disclosure of what clearly should be already public information about possible tread separation issues with more than just Firestone's Wilderness AT model has only muddied the waters.
So far it looks like drivers get another month until Explorer and other drivers know what's safe while the committee gets more airtime.
Ford, still trying to get ahead of the developments, has acknowledged it's received a letter and information from Tauzin and will test the replacement tires to see if they in fact don't meet their standard.
It really makes you wonder who is in fact watching over consumers and drivers. To the best of its ability, Ford seems intent on handling this recall, twice the magnitude of last summer's Firestone fiasco, in a responsible way. They want to act quickly, and comprehensively.
If they don't, who's going to buy the blue-oval brand? This is about trust.
Firestone too is clearly convinced it's doing the right thing by ending its relations with Ford F, -0.35% at home. In light of the gloves-off approach by both companies such a harsh divorce has been really hard on consumers when you consider the coordination needed to make sure this gets done correctly.
With tires from Michelin, Continental and Goodyear already replacing recalled Firestone tires, it's just the beginning. Ford has said it'll take the entire year to replace the expected 13 million tires.
So much confusion in so little time!
Beta case
Ford's tribulations have given drivers a new look at the cars and trucks they drive. Of course, vehicles are complex and as technologically advanced as they've ever been. So it's ironic that a problem with something that's so simple, like tires, could cause such a problem.
In Ford's case, it has about 10,000 suppliers with 80 percent of its buying accounted for by its top 100.
"It's a sign the auto industry doesn't have the greatest relationship with its suppliers," said Tadross.
Ford, however, maintains that's not the case.
"I would disagree with that adamantly," said Mike Vaughan, consumer and recall spokesman at Ford.
"We work closely with suppliers when we find an issue," he said adding that recalls of all types are constantly monitored. It's not a process where you go into action just when something major crops up.
"Our suppliers are our partners," Vaughan iterated. "As far as past recalls, suppliers come to us."
Dealers, which are also key in the tire replacement process, are just one of the ways that an automaker gets info, Vaughan said.
"It's really the integrity and the availability of the data that's the major problem in this industry," Tadross said. Tauzin's brouhaha and the subsequent confusion among automakers and tire firms is testament to this.
Though it's not just tire suppliers that are the issue, the tire recalls have been very important. For Ford, more so since they took a proactive approach to fixing the problem by assuming the cost of the recall. Just as tires could arguably be the most important part of a car, so was the recall.
"Tires were the beta case for the industry and they failed," Tadross added.
Bottom lines
Is any of this a good reason not to buy a Ford or even a new Explorer? Firestone might say so but it's not.
It is a reason to take a step back and acknowledge as a buyer and a driver, you can be assured that the automakers will go to great lengths to protect and preserve their customers when they figure out something's gone wrong.
In doing so, however, you have to ask why there was a problem in the first place.

Deep Hurts
Why they continue to make life miserable years later, and how one can get over them
The memories looked so hazy and yet so clear. The pain was real, although the incident was years and decades old. Monisha somehow could not get over the sick feeling in the pit of her stomach that kept coming back every now and then. It was almost twenty-three years now. She was not even eight then, and a happy lively child. One day she was playing in their sprawling house with her cousin who much older than her. In her innocent childlike way she was running around with him, catching him, jostling him. When they reached a remote corner of their house, he suddenly encircled her. He put his mouth to her face and tried to kiss her, holding her tight and uncomfortable all the time.
The shock of what was happening to her took a few seconds to register. For some time she went numb and could not resist. Finally she gained courage, with all her strength peeled off his hands that were now groping all over her body, and pushed him with as much strength as she could muster. She knew what he was doing was bad, very bad. But she did not know what it was. She was scared, and at the same time a bit guilty. She kept away from him the rest of the day, a thousand thoughts flooding her innocent mind in a haze. She was desperately waiting for bed time. She went to bed and was wide awake; pretending to be asleep until her mother came to join her. When her mother came to bed, she could not control her tears, and they came out in a torrent. Her body shook with her sobs, as her mother, concerned and puzzled, gathered her up in her arms and held her close.
After a long time she could control herself enough to be able to talk to her mother. In one flow the whole episode came out. She felt relieved for a moment, and was sure that now her mother will protect her. Imagine her shock the next moment when her mother held her strongly and started admonishing her. "You are a dirty girl" she hissed "why do you get into situations like this? Don't complain unnecessarily. You are only interested in playing and enjoying yourself. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" Monisha could not believe her ears. She had no answers. This shock was far greater than what she had endured earlier in the day. When her mother finished scolding her, she quietly turned around and pretended to go to sleep, but she remembers that she cried endlessly until sheer fatigue took her into a disturbed slumber.
The hurt of her mother's accusations and scolding just would not go away. Life has not been the same any more. She could neither relate to her mother, nor to anyone else in the family as she used to do earlier. She went ahead with life, but more like a zombie. She excelled in studies, kept up her social interactions, participated in group activities, got absorbed in painting. But life was just not the same as before.
Monisha had a deep hurt within her. It had left a permanent scar. She could not talk to anyone about it, because she loved her mother, and somewhere deep down she had a feeling of guilt whether she herself was responsible for what happened to her. At the same time she could not shake it off. Now she was thirty two years old, with an understanding but very busy husband, two lovely little children, a comfortable house ... and a deep void within her heart.
Deep hurts are due to a sense of denied justice, particularly from those whom we love and trust most. They cannot be compensated or balanced by other good things happening to us. Sometimes we ourselves do not know what hurts us most, at times we are caught unawares in our sense of complacency.
It is said that time is the greatest healer. Unfortunately for deep hurts it is not always true. The greater the sensitivity of a person, the more the hurt is likely to keep paining. The closer the relationship with the person who caused the hurt, the more the misery. At times the hurt may be so bad that the mind pushes it down into the unconscious mind. But the pain is only buried alive, to surface later, or to just go on hurting from within.
Unresolved deep hurts can result in psycho-somatic illness (aches and pains that have no organic cause – particularly ulcers, neck and back pain, migraines, etc.). They can also lead to bad interpersonal relations (repeated anger towards children, suspicion against the spouse), sense of denied justice in life in general ("no one cares for me, everyone is happy except me"), long bouts of depression (not wanting to make friends or enjoy oneself), or personality disorders. Behavioral scientists have identified a state known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that can cripple a person emotionally, and become almost permanent if not dealt with and resolved.
Resolving Deep Hurts
- The first step would be an awareness that you have a feeling of deep hurt that is not going away. Acceptance of your feelings is a vital pre-requisite.
- Talking it over with someone confidential and trustworthy, who will listen with empathy and not pass judgment (and definitely NOT give advice).
- Get a thorough medical check-up done to ensure that there has been no damage to the body due to continued stress.
- List out other good things that have happened in your life, and accept that life has both ups and downs.
- Try to relive the painful incident, preferably with a trusted friend or counsellor, and rationalize why it happened, what were the intentions of the person who hurt you.
- Try and forgive the oppressor, not to condone the bad deed, but to free yourself from any emotional control he may have over you today.
- Get involved in activities that give you pleasure and satisfaction. Give yourself small rewards and bolster your self esteem.
Remember that you owe it to yourself and your near and dear, to resolve the issues that have been hurting you for a long time. There will be a significant improvement in your quality of life, and others will also find themselves happier being close to you.

text: BERLIN: Germany said on Wednesday it was following developments in Iran with concern but stressed that protesters there demonstrating against economic hardship deserved respect."The federal government considers it legitimate when people courageously protest their economic and political woes on the streets as is happening in Iran at the moment and they have our respect," said government spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer.She urged Iranian authorities to initiate dialogue with the protesters and to respond proportionately to demonstrators who engage in violence, adding that Germany was alarmed by reports of deaths in six days of unrest.Meanwhile, Turkey said Rouhani's response to days of protests across Iran was appropriate and that Ankara valued Iranian stability, in one of the first regional expressions of support for Tehran.A source in Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan's office said he discussed the week-long unrest in Iran during a telephone call with Rouhani. The Iranian president told Erdogan he hoped the protests would be over "in a few days," the source said.Erdogan told Rouhani "that he found his comments about not violating the law while exercising their right to peaceful protests was appropriate," the source said."Iran's stability is important for us. We are against foreign interventions in Iran," Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said, in remarks quoted by television channel NTV."If the leadership is to change in Iran, the Iranian people will do this," he said.Broadcaster CNN Turk said Cavusoglu also echoed Rouhani's suggestion that the United States and Israel had provoked unrest.
