AR App Helping Child Cancer Patients Cope with Anxiety
The Paediatric Brain Tumor Foundation's app is bringing imaginary friends to life in hospitals and cancer treatment centers.
A three-eared rabbit stands on Bridgette Czarnecki's hospital bed. He playfully wiggles his ear and adjusts his yellow bow tie.
"You're stronger than you know," he tells the 8-year-old. "I wish I was that strong."
A flying pink-haired cow swoops in, pirouetting in the air. "Believe in yourself," she says in a gentle voice. "I sure do."
Nearby a friendly green monster smiles and waves. "Never give up, kid. Never give up."
They're all part of the Imaginary Friend Society, and they are exactly as billed: a figment of the imagination. For Czarnecki, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor in November 2017, they were a welcome distraction from the stress and anxiety of MRIs and chemotherapy while she was treated at the Children's Hospital Los Angeles through February.
Czarnecki summoned the characters from a touchscreen above her hospital bed and the Imaginary Friend Society app developed by the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. The app uses augmented reality, which overlays digital images on top of what you're seeing in the real world.
"It makes me feel happy," Czarnecki tells me.
Smartphone App Reduces Pain, Hospital Visits for Cancer Survivors
A smartphone app that includes artificial intelligence elements may be able to reduce the effects of cancer-related pain, according to recent research presented at the 2018 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Palliative and Supportive Care in Oncology Symposium.
The app, named ePAL, was designed and studied as part of a collaboration between Partners HealthCare Pivot Labs, the Massachusetts General Hospital Division of Palliative Care, and the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center.
"There is a significant shortage of palliative care providers, which will only worsen in the future as our population ages," lead study author Mihir M. Kamdar, M.D., associate director of the Division of Palliative Care and an interventional pain physician at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, said in a statement. "This is one of the reasons why technology solutions to help manage palliative care challenges, such as cancer pain, are so important."
What is Interventional Radiology for Paediatric Cancer Patients?
Interventional radiology offers a set of minimally invasive procedures for diagnosis, treatment, and palliative care for certain diseases, such as cancer.
This subspecialty in interventional radiology is also known as interventional oncology.
These procedures can be alternative options to open biopsies and surgeries, and are typically shorter, relatively less risky and associated with faster recovery.
Interventional oncology uses image-guided tools much like the GPS system to target the tumour area and perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in patients through the use of catheters, needles, and tiny probes (tiny instruments inserted into small incisions or natural body openings).
A Plant Based Diet is Good for Fighting Cancer
The basic principles of a plant-based diet (PBD) are that it focuses on whole, minimally processed foods – whole grains, seeds, vegetables, fruits, legumes, and nuts should make up the majority of what you eat – and limits animal products. A PBD also excludes refined foods, like added sugars, white flour, and processed oils.
A plant-based diet is rooted in food quality, promoting locally sourced, organic food whenever possible.
A healthy diet and lifestyle help in the fight against cancer — whether treating it or in reducing the risk of certain types of cancer.
Various studies on the mental health of people on a prolonged vegan or plant-based diet have found something fantastic – it really helps with anxiety, mood swings, and stress levels, all of which is really good news for someone fighting cancer.
A 2018 study published in American Family Physician noted, "Recommending an eating style can help patients make positive change. Dietary patterns that support health … have benefits that include prevention of cardiovascular disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and obesity."
Doctors Prescribe Nature for Chronic Disease
Spending the day outside in nature is wonderful; tiring perhaps, but also deeply satisfying. Our relationship to nature is primal – we thrive on it!
Urbanisation is taking a toll on our brain function and mental health. City dwellers have a higher risk of depression, anxiety, mood disorders and schizophrenia compared to those who live in rural areas.
In order to counteract this, all you need do is spend some time in nature. This can include many different natural environments, such as city parks, farms, beaches, wilderness areas or even just in your home garden. The most important thing is to find somewhere with as many living things and as little evidence of human presence as possible.
Spending time in green spaces is absolutely crucial to human wellness, and modern doctors are finally starting to realise how powerful nature can be – especially when it comes to those with chronic health issues.
More than just Treatments needed for Childhood Cancer
Connor Webb developed a lump on his right thumb that raised concerns with his mother, Kim, but when queried about it, doctors told her not to worry about it and to just "take care of it whenever."
Eventually though, the lump doubled in size, prompting surgery to remove it, but the subsequent phone call from the doctor stunned Kim – Connor had been diagnosed with epithelioid sarcoma, a slow-growing soft-tissue cancer.
After a month of tests and scans, Connor underwent a full resection of the tumour plus a bit of surrounding tissue to prevent recurrence and regained full use of his thumb. Later CT and MRI scans show no evidence of disease (NED).
This has, however, not put his mother at ease, as epithelioid sarcoma has a very ugly secret…
Kids Kicking Cancer – Power Peace Purpose
Last week I was privileged to have been invited to the official South African Launch of a program for children with cancer called Kids Kicking Cancer!
Kids Kicking Cancer is an initiative that was started in America in 1999 by
Founding Director, Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg (Rabbi G), and began providing classes in several public hospitals in South Africa earlier this year.
Last Tuesday was the Official Johannesburg launch and Wednesday was the Official Cape Town launch, which I was privileged to attend, and hear firsthand about what the program offers as well as meet Rabbi G, Professor Alan Davidson, Head of Paediatric Haematology and Oncology at Red Cross Children's Hospital, Chairperson Dr Richard Friedland, and other Board Members; the two wonderful people working with our little fighters, Ilze van der Merwe in Cape Town and Moses Sebopa in Johannesburg, and of course, our Little Heroes from Cape Town; Hayden, Monalisa and Ferdi.
We think this is a FANTASTIC program that will benefit our Little Fighters greatly, and we encourage all parents of Children with Cancer to get their little fighters registered on the program.
Trial Offers Hope for Child Cancer Sufferers
Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer that affects around 100 children the UK annually.
Neuroblastoma is also one of the most common childhood cancers in South Africa, and it can be very aggressive and hard to treat.
In early 2017, Luke Bell from Darlington began falling asleep in his school lessons, prompting his worried parents to rush him to the doctor.
Mark and Becky Bell thought their son may have had anaemia but it never crossed their minds that he would be diagnosed with high risk neuroblastoma – a rare form of cancer – just days later.
The shock diagnosis which left the family devastated marked the beginning of a year of extended hospital stays and gruelling treatment, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy.
At the end of April, Luke was in the final stages of treatment and enduring what was believed to be his last round of immunotherapy when the Bells were given the devastating news that their little boy had relapsed, with scans showing a progression of his illness.
Alba Equestrian Centre Jump for Cancer Touches the Stars!!
The Little Fighters Cancer Trust would like to extend a massive, heartfelt thanks to Alba Equestrian Centre for hosting the very first (to our knowledge) "Jump for Cancer" in South Africa (perhaps even the world) to raise Childhood Cancer Awareness as well as to raise much-needed funds for LFCT.
We were contacted via our Facebook Page on 2 August by a lady named Carla du Plessis, whom we assumed was the owner, regarding a "Jump for Cancer" show-jumping show that they wanted to hold on 23 September in aid of LFCT, and of course we jumped at the opportunity.
As the weeks went by, Carla regularly updated us as to all the wonderful people who were coming on board to partake as well as all the great sponsors and we got just as excited as she was at every new announcement…. it is always such a pleasure when a partner includes us in all the arrangements and shares all the exciting news with us because that we also get excited and can update all our supporters and potential donors/entrants with the latest news 😀
We Need YOU as a 2018 LFCT Christmas Elf
HO! HO! HO! Santa is rounding up Christmas Elves again for the Little Fighters Cancer Trust's Christmas Elf Project!
Every year LFCT, with the help of all our volunteer Christmas Elves, collects and distributes toys and good cheer to over 2 000 Children with Cancer in Paediatric Oncology Wards and Day Clinics across South Africa. For many of these children, it is the only Christmas present that they will receive.
Each of these Little Fighters will receive an age and gender-appropriate gift (total value around R150-R200) as well as a snack-pack, Santa hat and Christmas cracker.
Apart from delivering gifts to the Paediatric Oncology Wards & Day Clinics, LFCT also gifts each of our Families with presents for the Child with Cancer as well as all siblings under 18 and also sends the Family a Festive Season Care Package, which consists of basic groceries, cleaning materials and personal hygiene products as well as some treats so that they too can enjoy the Festive Season without worrying about where their next meal will come from.

Sunsets & Rural Roads
I am haunted by the smell of evening out among the cornfields. Reminds me of my 20's when I had nothing better to do than ride my road bike 300 miles a week. I would see the sunset every night and sleep deeply from the training and fresh air. I have since lost the potion for bottomless sleep. Sunset drives are bittersweet reminders.

Director worked on more than 80 pictures in prolific career.
Swiss-born cinematographer Carlo Varini, best known for The Chorus, The Big Blue and Subway, has died in a house fire.
The 67-year-old cinematographer, who shot more than 80 pictures throughout his career, started out as a calibrator at the Schwarz-Film laboratory in Berne.
After cinema studies at the Zurich University of Arts he became a news cameraman, moving into fiction as the assistant cameraman of celebrated Italian cinematographer Renato Berta.
He branched out on his own in the early 1980s to work with Luc Besson on his early features The Last Combat, Subway and The Big Blue. He was nominated for a Cesar for the latter two.
More recently, he gained recognition for his work on Christophe Barratier's The Choir for which he was nominated for Camerimage's Golden Frog alongside Dominique Gentil.
He was due to work on Canadian director Francesco Lucente's upcoming feature Starbright.
According to French news reports, Varini died when he leapt from the upper floor of a house in Cathervielle on the French border with Spain, after a fire broke up. He is survived by his wife and two daughters.

Leeds Castle, Grounds, Gardens, Golf Club, Attractions, Accommodation, Castle View Restaurant and Hospitality Venues are now closed to adhere to the guidelines issued by the Government and Public Health England regarding COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Click here for further information.
Discover the fascinating past of "the loveliest Castle in the world"
The Castle
Leeds Castle has been a Norman stronghold; the private property of six of England's medieval queens; a palace used by Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon; a Jacobean country house; a Georgian mansion; an elegant early 20th century retreat for the influential and famous; and in the 21st century, it has become one of the most visited historic buildings in Britain.
The first stone castle was built in 1119 by a Norman baron during the reign of William the Conqueror's son Henry I, on an island in the River Len. In 1278, a century and a half later, it came into the possession of Queen Eleanor of Castile, first wife of Edward I.
For the next 300 years the Castle remained a royal residence, before again becoming a private home. This in turn was handed down over four centuries, by both inheritance and purchase, through a network of interlinked families.
Discover the fascinating history of the Hon. Olive, Lady Baillie, the last private owner of the castle; a wealthy Anglo-American heiress who acquired Leeds Castle in 1926 when it was sold to pay death duties.
Today, the influence of Lady Baillie continues to bring the state rooms to life while visitors can see the effect of Medieval and Tudor periods in many of the other Castle rooms.
Find out about our Castle Tours
Please note: Due to space restrictions pushchairs cannot be permitted inside the Castle but a buggy park is provided. A free loan of baby slings is available inside the Castle, please ask the steward near the buggy park for further information.
The Gatehouse Exhibition
A visit to our exhibition within the ancient Gatehouse of Leeds Castle will take you on a fascinating journey through over 900 years of the Castle's history.
Each key stage of its development is captured, from early Norman beginnings through 300 years of royal ownership to Henry VIII's resplendent Tudor Palace, then many centuries of private ownership and onto its most recent incarnation as a sumptuous country retreat. This extraordinary story is beautifully recreated through original artefacts, expert historical detail, illustration and film.
A unique collection of historic and fascinating dog collars has been built up over the years
and is now the largest of its kind on public display anywhere in the world!
The fascinating collection of canine neckwear, spanning five centuries, is now on display in a fresh and creative new presentation – fun for children and adults alike.
There are over 130 rare and valuable collars including 30 collars, which were discovered in storage and have never been on public display before are now on show.
The earliest in the collection, dates back to the late 15th century and is a Spanish iron herd mastiff's collar, which would have been worn for protection against wolves and bears roaming Europe at the time.
Other collars range from sixteenth-century German iron collars with fearsome spikes and ornate gilt collars of the Baroque period, through to finely-chased nineteenth century silver collars and twentieth century examples fashioned from tyres, beads and plastic.
In 1977 Mrs Gertrude Hunt presented the collection of dog collars to the Leeds Castle Foundation in memory of her husband, the historian John Hunt. Mr and Mrs Hunt were both avid collectors and amassed a large collection of art and antiquities, but the dog collars were Mrs Hunt's particular passion.
Her donation consisted of more than 60 collars from all corners of Europe, dating from the 16th to the 19th century. Since that original gift, many more collars have been acquired by purchase and donation from members of the public and the collection continues to grow.

HARMONIC ARTS HAWTHORN BERRIES 100ml
Hawthorn can help improve the amount of blood pumped out of the heart during contractions, widen the blood vessels, and increase the transmission of nerve signals.
Hawthorn also seems to have blood pressure-lowering activity, according to early research. It seems to cause relaxing of the blood vessels farther from the heart. It seems that this effect is due to a component in hawthorn called proanthocyanidin.
Research suggests that hawthorn can lower cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad cholesterol"), and triglycerides (fats in the blood). It seems to lower accumulation of fats in the liver and the aorta (the largest artery in the body, located near the heart). Hawthorn fruit extract may lower cholesterol by increasing the excretion of bile, reducing the formation of cholesterol, and enhancing the receptors for LDLs. It also seems to have antioxidant activity.
Made with organic cane alcohol, distilled water and Hawthorn Berries, (Crataegus monogyna), 50% alcohol (1:5).

Continued...Part 5
the 3rd Texas was now under Van Dorns Cavalry Corps
and the entire command was ordered to Corinth, Mississippi
to stop a Yankee advance. Many of the Confederate troops had
never been far for home and were still in their late teens.
Some of the 3rd Texas boys took a ride on a train for the
first time in their lives.
the army assembled near Corinth disease again began to over
take the troops. Some 50 men of the 3rd Texas Cavalry perished
from lethal fevers and infections contracted at Corinth. General
Beauregard realized that he could not hold Corinth and planned
a deception to fool the enemy into thinking he was still there
with his army while he was secretly pulling them all out.
The 3rd Texas played an important roll in this. Beauregard
ordered Van Dorn to mount a demonstration against the enemy
to mask the retreat. Van Dorn detached Col. Lane and the 3rd
Texas to advance at sunrise toward the enemys earthworks
and draw out the Yankee skirmishers. With hundreds lying ill,
Lane could only muster 246 men. He led this little band on
a double-quick several hundred yards though the abatis of
felled timber to with in fifty paces of the union Picket line.
They were placed in a position to either do or die since retreat
would trap them in the labyrinth of the abatis. "Drawing
fore from the entrenched Yankee Pickets, the Texans dodged
behind whatever cover the ground afforded. Each man took a
tree, and after discharging his firearms and reloading from
that position, would advance to the next cover and repeat
the performance." Lane then ordered a charge, "
Screaming like demons, the Texans drove the union pickets
out of their holes and into their own earthworks some four
hundred yards to the rear."
day long, Lanes little detachment held this position
against three regiments of the enemy, while Beauregard evacuated
Corinth. Before it was finished the 3rd Texas Cavalry lost
eight killed and nine wounded. By nightfall Lane ordered his
exhausted men hold their position until midnight while Beauregard
completed his evacuation. Utterly spent the 3rd Texas Cavalry
finally left and walked down the then deserted streets toward
the summer of 1862, the 3rd Texas had only 388 men fit for
duty on its rolls. Many of the men suffered from chronic diarrhea.
All the surgeon had to offer for any illness was opium. At
sick call he would carve out a lump of opium, "as big
as a cannon ball" and was then mix down into little pills.
These "pills" were given for such thinks as a "hurting
in my stomach," "a misery in my head" and "a
chill". Whatever the symptoms the cure was the same.
September 5, 1862 the order was given by General Price to
move forward. Marching day and night the 3rd Texas Cavalry
entered Iuka, Mississippi on September 14th. The 3rd Texas
was assigned to Major General Henrys Littles Division
and on September 19th they were ordered to deploy as skirmishes
by Brigadier General Price. As they deployed forward they
were hit by cannon fire. Captain Will Green of Company I told
his men to be steady and at that moment, he was decapitated.
As his Lieutenant took command he too was hit and killed by
grapeshot. The order was given to charge the Yankee artillery.
" Unhindered, the Yankee cannoneers poured grape shot
and canister into the gray masses. Private John Sherrod died
instantly and Will Bonner, the regimental color bearer, was
cut down a few feet in front of a Federal battery, the Confederate
Battle flag sill clutched in his hands. At the head of the
charge, Lieutenant Dan Alley pressed on. With sabres, ramrods
and gun butts, the attacker grappled fiercely with the enemy
artillerymen on the crest of the hill. Most conspicuous on
the field was Private Rush Wallace, son of a San Augustine
Judge. Hopelessly surrounded at one point in the action, he
refused to surrender but fought his way out of the trap and
back to his own lines." The
Texans sustained their assault and drove the enemy some six
hundred yards to the rear. The 3rd Texas lost 33 killed out
right, 74 wounded and out of 388, one out of every four fell
that day. The then Colonel of the 3rd Texas, Mabry was wounded
three times. The Colonel was captured and was offered a chance
to sign a letter of exchange. He didnt like the wording
and refused to sign it. He was placed in a Yankee prison camp
but later released on an exchange.

You may or may not have heard the term relationship marketing going around. And how it's the new way to reach your clients and get more repeat customers and business referrals. The interesting part about relationship marketing is that it's not new at all! It actually uses traditional marketing methods that have been used for many years already. Let's break down exactly what relationship marketing is!
Relationship marketing is the principle that business is built on relationships. And to build a business you have to nurture and appreciate your current clients in order to grow your network to the next level.
The marketing aspect comes into play when you add the follow-up touchpoints. This could be a simple email, phone call, or even a quick coffee meeting. Once business has been acquired, you would send a thank you card or gift to your client in appreciation for their business.
This will typically make your client feel really special and important to you. You value them as a customer and as a person. When you take care of your clients in this way, they are more likely to send you referrals and of course, come back to you when they need your services rather than scoping out competitors!
Yes, we have! Nothing about relationship marketing is new other than maybe the platform you use to do it. In traditional relationship marketing business owners typically send handwritten cards and gifts to their clients in order to prompt referrals and repeat business. Nothing about that has changed in the modern-day.
Most business owners will do some sort of follow up with their clients whether that be cards, gifts, emails, and so on.
Today relationship marketing doesn't have to take a lot of time, effort, or planning. With new technology platforms that allow you to send cards with your own handwriting and signatures that are as simple as sending an email, relationship marketing has never been so simple. And with the ability to add your own photos and totally customize the cards, relationship marketing has never been so personal!
Relationship marketing is a very important aspect to building lasting business relationships. Whether you use a high tech software or the old-fashioned DIY method your customers will love receiving appreciation from you!

Technicolor Is Hitting All The Colors of The Rainbow
By Charlie Fink
In a hip, newly renovated industrial park in Culver City, CA, the 10,000 square foot Technicolor Experience Center nestles unassumingly amongst the concrete and steel offices of maverick agencies, startups and independent producers. Its official opening is June 15. Even though I'm almost a month early, Technicolor Vice President Mark Turner, Corporate Partnerships and Strategy, graciously agreed to give me a preview.
"The purpose of this building is to bring people together to learn, to experiment and to solve hard problems facing producers of VR and AR content," Turner said.
The Center features every commercially available headset: Rift, Vive, Hololens, Playstation VR, and mobile Gear VR, which is powered by the Samsung 7 smart phone. It's open to anyone in the entertainment industry: game producers, studio executives, writers, cinematographers. Turner explained how it is for "anyone who wants to see what's around the corner ahead of them." I'm told the head of Google VR was a recent visitor. The Technicolor Experience Center features a 3,000 square foot motion capture space, which can also be used for large meetings. Unreal, which makes the critical software on which many VR apps are built, recently conducted two days of training there.
"We want to be a gathering place, a salon, for the best thinkers about this new medium," Turner said.
Technicolor touches 70 percent of studio movies, but they don't process film anymore. They create and manage digital assets, from conception to the home. Technicolor is the #2 player in the "connected home" category, making set top boxes and cable modems for partners like DirectTV. Their executives are especially interested in the home of the future and the role the router and set top box will play in that connected home electronic ecosystem, now known as The Internet of Things or IoT.
I demo'd several experiences which are curated by staffers who personally attend to visitors. VR is much more enjoyable when someone else has already done the tiresome downloading and calibration needed to set up each experience, no matter the system. As Turner showed me the work of Technicolor's advertising effects studio, The Mill, I wondered, "Don't you guys develop film anymore?" The answer is "no, everything but that." So, they thoughtfully set me up with CEO Frederic Rose, who turned a dying film processing business into a digital production dream factory with one eye on the bottom line and the other on the future, and the amazing promise of fully immersive digital entertainment that puts you, literally, inside the movie or video game.
When Fred Rose became CEO of Technicolor in September 2008, it was at the losing end of a business school case study of tech driven disruption. Film processors, even of high-end motion pictures, were about to see their customers migrate en masse to a better, less expensive digital platform. A series of poorly structured acquisitions and other desperate tactics had left the company drained of cash, ideas and a decent credit rating. The private equity investors who owned the company were sitting naked in the middle of the street waiting for the steamroller of history to run over them. To the new guy, it never has to be that way. But first, there was the business of retaining key customers, financial restructuring and a serious recession that made slashing the present and investing in the future even more perilous.
Rose got to know Technicolor's operations well in those desperate first years, managing cash flow, making payroll and deciding which Technicolor's businesses to keep.
"I wanted businesses that could do three things: be one of the top three players in their category, be cash flow positive, or close to it, and they needed to be growth businesses."
Once upon a time, film (created through a machine-age, bio-chemical process invented shortly before Technicolor was founded in 1916) was itself the powerful new medium. Throughout the 20th Century, movies were at the center of western culture. The demand for movies in the 30s, 40s and 50s is hard to imagine today. Studios cranked out movies annually by the thousands, along with cartoons, newsreels, music and sports features. Films had to be developed, duplicated and shipped. The country's preeminent film manufacturer, Kodak, was one of America's largest companies. In Hollywood, Technicolor was a behemoth (the film processing business was basically a duopoly, with Deluxe on the other side).
"I didn't want Technicolor to become the Smith-Corona typewriter, which never made the transition from type to images," Rose said.
In 2008, Technicolor made 500MM in revenue from film processing and duplication, and a small amount of visual effects work. By 2016, the company had completely exited film processing, while increasing total sales for visual effects to 850MM.
"[The studio producers] bring us their visions," Rose said. "We make them come true."
Indeed, Technicolor is responsible for Disney's live action movies the "Jungle Book," "Birdman" and many other recent movies whose visual effects make audiences say, "Wow!"
In addition to digital movie making and set top boxes, Technicolor has paradoxically succeeded in a category everyone said they should write off: DVD duplication. While others exited the business, Technicolor took advantage. DVDs just had its best selling year in history. Rose says they shipped 1.6 BN discs this year.
[Tweet ""Technicolor has paradoxically succeeded in a category everyone said they should write off: DVDs.""]
"People want to own their favorite movies, classics and blockbusters. That's what they put under the tree. We were the only ones who saw the growth left in this business."
Technicolor is now the world's #1 manufacturer of DVDs. Under Rose's leadership in 2010, the parent company formerly known as Thomson (which had origins in early European television manufacture), took on the name of its main subsidiary, Technicolor, which went public on the Paris exchange as Technicolor, SA. The company's new public stock was the currency Rose needed to grow the business. In 2015, Technicolor acquired Scientific Atlanta from Cisco, making it the #2 manufacturer of set top boxes and cable modems.
Through its work in home connectivity and visual effects, Technicolor has registered dozens of patents. The small division set up to administer and monetize them collected over 300MM in high margin royalties last year, which brings us to back to the Technicolor Experience Center. Turner is part of a mixed team drawn from enterprises across the company and is tasked with evangelizing Technicolor's broad portfolio of solutions to their customers.
"They are not a separate business unit," Rose said. "But rather a cross-functional team whose mission is to explore, engage and discover where the medium is going and how best we can serve our customers across divisions, who are all looking to us for expertise in content creation for these emerging platforms. VR is not one thing. Interactivity is not one thing."
Turner explained, "The modes exist on a continuum. On one end, you've got passive, 360 video where you're a ghost, watching but unable to interact. On the other, we have fully immersive multiplayer games and cinematic environments; in between is where most content and devices are right now. Not totally one thing or another. The first big hit in VR may be more like a game than a movie."
[Tweet ""Technicolor is now the world's #1 manufacturer of DVDs.""]
Mark Turner is smart, and not just because he has a British accent. He's clearly been thinking about immersive entertainment a lot. According to Turner, "at the end of the day, solving the problems of content creators is not limited to software, but rather hardware like routers and set top boxes. Our leadership in the connected home gives us an advantage."
With Technicolor on stable footing, despite its perilous perch on the edge of the new technology, Rose is feeling acquisition minded. The company has free cash flow, which it is currently using to pay down its debt, improve its credit rating and strengthen its balance sheet.
Rose says he wants to acquire "companies that complement our production services or connected home activities. My criteria has not changed. We want to be the leader in any business we enter. We want companies that can grow the bottom line."

As an avid storyteller, entrepreneur, and award winning producer, Charlie has built a career building businesses across industries. With his tenure as an executive in companies such as Disney, Virtual World, and AOL, Charlie has honed an extensive knowledge and expertise.

"I can tell you that although we don't divulge what we do discuss in our secret meetings in Las Vegas."
I was struck by this statement from the co-owner of Wealthy Affiliate, Kyle Loudoun.
Would you refute with me? Please read this article until the end so you will not be misled.
Something is serious that may implicate the lives of people around the community. This is not a joke there are millions of people coming in and out of Wealthy Affiliate.
Vigilance is a value here. These are people who come from different parts of the world with serious needs to be addressed. They converged at Wealthy Affiliate with their energy and resources for a common purpose and aspirations, to experience financial freedom.
I believe that is the only difficulty in life most of the people wrestle with to fully and effectively discharge community responsibilities.
Will this throng of people being scammed by?
There is so much to say these people including myself were scammed in different times and ways.
Can you imagine, a computer programming, IT graduates and many professionals fell into the tricks and wizardry of scammers? Yes, it's unbelievable, much hard earned money has been stashed from their accounts.
Experience to experience will bad fate befall again to you? I don't think so, people are becoming smart and they can say goodbye to scams that come in different faces.
Will they experience the same thing within Wealthy Affiliate?
We cannot deny the fact that experience is the best teacher. Thanks for the truth that people are now becoming aware of all sorts of bad deals on offline and in online.
What seemingly concealable are now unconcealed by their own ways of self-serving interests. We abhor such acts of exploitation and we denounce them because they downgrade the essence of being a human.
Human ingenuity and the rise of technology had over taken the value of helping one another for the good of all and for a better world.
However, determining the legitimacy of such business company can at least save us from being a victim of the shrewdness of scammers.
Have you ever heard of a business company concerned for its laborer, employees who are the backbone of the business so to say? Yes, the people are the breath and life of a business. Without the hard working people to create, build and promote the products company will hardly survive.
So a company has to think of how its business can be improved.
Hear the continuation of the statement above, the secret deals of Wealthy Affiliate.
It's Not Focused on Selling. It's Focused on Helping.
People are always curious as to what we discuss within our "secret" meetings in Las Vegas. I can tell you that although we don't divulge what we do discuss, the emphasis of the entire event is always based on how to IMPROVE the service here at WA to make it a better place for everyone.
We soundboard our ideas within a roundtable discussion, things that we either already have slated, that are in development or currently in the late idea stage. Some of them get shut down, some of them are received with exciting, and I think in many circumstances blown away about what we have coming your way.
There is a consistent theme though that we never deviate from. The idea of helping more people, helping them quicker, and offering them tools, services, and platforms that make your life easier within the online space.
We talk about you, the community. We talk about WA, the platform. We talk about how to make it a better service. (from What it Mean to you and to us?)
Is there a bad thing to know that LAS VEGAS is not just an exposure and expenditures but a meeting of greatest concern? ______________
Is there a bad thing to talk about improving the services you offer to people?______________
Is there a bad thing talking about people who contribute to the progress of the business?_______
Let's join them for they are people who came from humble beginnings who believe in a community of helping one another in the Wealthy Affiliate world of Education, the Wealthy Affiliate University.
Start your business now with the good and legit one:

The Man had been gone for days. Luke got up and patrolled the house again, making the same circuit that he always did: kitchen, bedroom, kitchen, living room, kitchen, back door, kitchen, and back to the front door. How many times had he walked that path since The Man had left? Luke had no way of knowing.
Luke sniffed at the door again. He could smell Outside, and wished that, if The Man had left for good, he would have at least let him go Outside. Inside always smelled the same, unless The Man brought a kill home to share. For someone so slow, Luke had to admit The Man was an excellent hunter. He rarely left their den without returning with something to eat. The Man took most of the food, but Luke knew his place in the pack. It was good. He had never gone too hungry.
Luke sighed, and laid on his side, stretching his legs before relaxing. A nap might make The Man return faster. Sometimes that worked.
Just then, though, he saw the smaller house come closer and pull up next to the big house. One of the walls opened, and The Man stepped out.
Luke's heart exploded with joy. He hoped his tail showed how happy he was. The pack was whole again! He greeted The Man by trying to get in his face and smell if he had eaten.
"Luke, calm down, boy," The Man said. "I've only been gone 20 minutes, dude."

The PCBA Manufacture repairs PCB boards,The first step is to observe whether the circuit board has been damaged by humans. This is mainly from the following aspects:
1 See if the board is dropped, causing the board corner to be deformed, or the chip on the board being broken or broken. 2 Observe the socket of the chip to see if it is forced to be damaged because there is no special tool.
3 Observe the chip on the circuit board. If it is with a socket, first observe whether the chip is inserted incorrectly. This is mainly to prevent the operator from inserting the wrong position or direction of the chip when repairing the circuit board. If the error is not corrected in time, when the board is energized, the chip may be burned out, causing unnecessary losses.
4 If there is a shorting terminal on the board, observe if the shorting terminal is inserted incorrectly.
The maintenance of the circuit board requires a solid foundation in theory, careful work, and careful observation by the maintainer, sometimes at this step can determine the cause of the problem. The second step is to observe whether the components on the board are burned out. For example, resistors, capacitors, and diodes are not black or smeared. Under normal circumstances, even if the resistance is burnt, its resistance will not change, the performance will not change, and it will not affect the normal use. In this case, a multimeter is needed to assist the measurement. However, if the capacitors and diodes are burnt, their performance will change, and they will not play their due role in the circuit, which will affect the normal operation of the entire circuit. At this time, new components must be replaced. The third step is to observe the integrated circuit on the circuit board, such as 74 series, CPU, coprocessor, AD and other chips, there are no drums, cracks, burnt, black. If this happens, it is basically OK that the chip has been burned out and must be replaced. The fourth step is to observe whether the traces on the circuit board are peeled or burned. The copper hole is not separated from the pad. Step 5: Observe the fuses on the board (including the fuse and the thermistor) to see if the fuse is blown. Sometimes the fuse is too thin and can't be seen clearly. You can use the auxiliary tool-multimeter to judge whether the fuse is damaged.
The above four cases are the method for the circuit board factory to repair the PCB board, which is basically due to the consequences of excessive current in the circuit. However, the specific cause of the current is too large, it is necessary to analyze the specific problem. But the general idea of finding the problem is to first carefully analyze the schematic diagram of the board, and then find out its superior circuit according to the circuit where the burnt component is located, and derive it step by step, and then rely on some experience accumulated in the work to analyze the easiest. Where the problem occurred, find out the cause of the failure.

Support Toni & Erin Santos
Provide a one-time or recurring gift to the managing directors of Casa de Luz Ministries. Toni and Erin are working with disadvantaged families on-site in Primo Tapia, Mexico.
We are Erin and Toni Santos, the parents of 4 children, and the Co-Directors of Casa de Luz. We moved down here to Primo Tapia from BC, Canada in August 2011 for the opening of Casa de Luz. Over these past 5+ years we have learned and grown so much… God has tested our faith, challenged us to take steps of faith and trust Him, and proven Himself to be faithful time and time again.
It has been an absolute privilege working alongside our local church, La Hermosa, and Pastor Daniel and Pastora Aleyda. They have welcomed us with open arms and we have learned so much from them over these 5 years. The ministry opened with 3 staff members and 17 children operating only the children's center, and has now grown to include the adult education program, the Own Your Own Housing Program, the Youth Mentorship Program, and others.
We love seeing God transform hearts and lives, and seeing Him restore the broken. Serving God at Casa de Luz is an absolute privilege, and one that we know we wouldn't have if it weren't for friends and partners like you who have linked arms with our family. We want to thank you. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for walking with us. Thank you for supporting us… in prayers, finances, and words of encouragement. I know that I will never be able to express the gratitude that's in our hearts, but I want you to know how TRULY each of these things are appreciated. Thank you.

Children, Blogging, Privacy and Balance
Mommy Blogs scare me, and I say that having blogged for four years. Once you write something on the Internet, it is there forever–even if you delete it. No post is worth hurting your child's feelings. No amount of "likes" or "followers" makes up for a positive relationship between yourself and your child.
As my life continues to bleed over into the public sphere with my newspaper column, book deal, website, and Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr accounts, I've reigned back on what I share about my children "Bruce" and "Jenna" who are now 10 and 6 years old.
I know for many of you, Teaching My Baby to Read has been a source of lesson-plan ideas and a vehicle to connect with other parents who are equally committed to education. I am thrilled every time somebody emails me or leaves a positive comment. Parenting can be isolating, and for me, blogging has been a way to share what I learned as a teacher and a parent.
Now, I'm in a tough position because there is so much about education I still want to share. I want to tell you about Bruce's life in fourth grade, or Jenna's experiences in Kindergarten. I want to tell you specific data about how they are succeeding academically, or in some cases, falling behind. I want to share how I feel burnt out after approximately 1,800 hours of Afterschooling. I want to explain why, after all these years, I'm more committed to Afterschooling than ever.
But at the same time I want to protect the sacredness of my children's privacy for what little bit of childhood they have left. The years go by so fast. I blink and another school year is gone.
Can you teach your baby/child to read? Yes. Here's how. Can you make math fun? Absolutely. Check these ideas out. Did my ideas work for my own children? You bet–even in the face of giftedness and a potential learning disability. Both my kids were reading ahead of grade level by the end of Kindergarten.
When I first started blogging I wrote new posts every day. Now I barely post once a week. That's mainly due to of self-censorship. It's also because I've shifted my focus into studying Young Adult fiction. If you are a parent of a teenager who struggles to screen what your kid reads, please check out my website The YA Gal or my YA Gal Facebook Page. You can always ask me the "clean-teen" rating of a particular book, and if I haven't read it one of my YA Gal followers probably has.
I am still blogging. I am still here. I'm just a lot more careful about what I share.
For moms who don't have time to read
Got a teen in your home? Got a child capable of reading at a high school level? It's darn near impossible to keep up with what your kids read.
Over on my other site, The YA Gal, I review books as fast as I can get them. And yet…I'm still behind. Here are three books I've read recently that parents might want know about–even if you don't have time to read them:
All last year I felt guilty for not having read The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. How could I call myself a YA fan and not have read such a popular book? Well, today I remedied that situation. Start to finish. Cover to cover. Quite a lot of Kleenex.
At its heart, The Fault in Our Stars is a teenage love story set against the backdrop of cancer. Hazel drags her oxygen tank everywhere she goes and Augustus has a prosthetic leg. Both are erudite, witty, and converse in a fashion that I've never heard teenagers sound like ever–and I've been around a lot of smart teens. Like, literally, I've never heard teens talk like that. Still, the Gilmore-Girl-esq dialogue is fun to read, although if it doesn't come across as realistic.
If you enjoy tear-jerkers, this is a great book for you. If you'd rather not put yourself through an emotional wringer, stay away. The only thing that bothered me was Augustus and his unlit cigarette. Hopefully that doesn't spawn a fad of cigarettes becoming cool again even if they aren't smoked.
The Maze Runner by James Dashner is another title in the uber-popular genre of YA books about teenagers in dangerous "fight-to-the-death" games. But in this case, the main character, Thomas, is not on television…probably. He doesn't really know the truth because his memory is wiped.
Thomas, along with the rest of the cast, are stuck in the middle of the Glade. Right next to them is the mysterious Maze with ever changing walls. Somewhere, deep in the Maze are evil Grievers which are half slug, half robots ready to attack.
Will Thomas be able to solve the Maze and lead the other kids to freedom or is he actually their worst enemy?
My nine-year-old son loves, loves, loves The Maze Runner. He read it start to finish in one day. To me as an adult it seemed predictable but fun. I wish there were more female characters but I appreciate Dasher's brilliance in crafting a book that makes adolescent boys want to read.
The Soulkeepers by G.P. Ching might be on your teen's e-reader right now because it's free. Usually free books are hit or miss, but this book is amazing.
The last place fifteen-year-old Jacob Lau wants to be is living with his Uncle John in the middle of nowhere. But in the wake of his mother's disappearance, Jacob has no place else to go. The kids at Jacob's school act like they've never met an Asian American before, and make mixed-race Jacob feel like a freak. His only source of comfort is Malini, a bright and beautiful transplant from India.
Meanwhile, Jacob is seriously spooked by Dr. Silvia, the ghostly pale women who lives in the Gothic Victorian next door. When Jacob breaks one of her stained glass windows he's forced into her servitude, scooping compost and working in the garden. Jacob can't figure out if Dr. Silvia is a witch or a trusted mentor–which is too bad because some strange things have been happening to Jacob recently, and he needs all the help he can get to figure out what the heck is going on.
The pacing of this book is perfect. The characters suck you in right away and make you care about them. The suspense makes you want to turn pages as fast as possible. But under all of it, is a deep heart. The Soulkeepers is a book that makes you think.
I was unfamiliar with G.P. Ching until I read The Soulkeepers and since then I've cyber stalked her in the most friendly way. I've also signed up for her newsletter. I'm pretty darned convinced that Genevieve is a brilliant writer and marketer. I can see why traditionally published authors would be jealous. But this woman is also a class act. G.P. Ching is full of grace and friendly advice for writers and teens alike.
"The Counterfeit Family Tree of Vee Crawford-Wong" by L. Tam Holland
I've been excited to read The Counterfeit Family Tree of Vee Crawford-Wong, by debut author L. Tam Holland, ever since I saw it listed in the Stanford alumni magazine. You might even say I had outrageously high expectations for the book. Luckily, Holland did not disappoint! The Counterfeit Family Tree of Vee Crawford-Wong is hysterically funny, tense in all of the right moments, and poignant, especially at the end.
Vee Crawford-Wong is half Texan, half Chinese, and that's about as much as he knows about his personal identity. His mom and dad refuse to tell him one tidbit of information about where they come from. On the rare occasions when his dad does say something about China, it's usually something about American Chinese food. Vee's mom tells him more about their 2005 Toyota named Fanny, then about her aging parents in Ding Dong Texas.
When Vee's history teacher makes the class write a five page paper about their ancestry, Vee makes a bunch of stuff up. One lie leads to another and soon the Crawford-Wong family is headed towards China and a truth that nobody wants to reveal.
This book is rich enough for a ninth grade English class–if the parents don't complain about all the almost-sex scene. The Counterfeit Family Tree of Vee Crawford-Wong also has something missing from a lot of YA bookshelves these days, a non-white main character.

HONORING THE TEACHERS OF AMERICA (Part I)
The first of three postage stamps featured on my website has the words HONORING THE TEACHERS OF AMERICA. This stamp celebrates the National Teacher Association 1857-1957. I chose it to serve as a reminder that we have an American tradition of respecting those who dedicate their lives to the education of children. I was a child in school when this stamp was created, and I can attest to the high regard in which children and their families held teachers. I was amazed when some of my friends told me their families had invited teachers for dinner during the school year. It seemed unimaginable that such an important person would go to someone's home to dine with them! Some of the wonderful teachers I had as a child remain with me in a very real way. They had an immeasurable influence on my life. And I thank them for that!
We know that teachers work in a very different America today. Everything must change, of course, but why do so many teachers find that the honor and respect that might be theirs has eroded or disappeared? The answer is complex and could be traced to a wide span of social, political, and economic changes over time. I am writing today not to discuss the reasons why I think these changes have taken place (although it leads to fascinating analysis), but to share my ideas of what we teachers should do now to re-establish our honor and strength within our profession as well as the public.
Teachers work every day with the ramifications of the ways in which society cares for and about children and families. For many American teachers, this means daily work with children who are poor, who lack adequate medical and dental assistance, whose stressed parents do not or cannot provide optimal care for an endless variety of reasons, and whose communities may be characterized by chaos or violence. It does not stop there! Children whose families are more privileged and seemingly stable can also be affected by a host of social problems as well as what the American Academy of Pediatrics calls "affluenza" – a selfish and morally empty focus on purchasing and consuming goods as the central value of human life. Add to this picture the incredible pressure being placed on teachers to meet the standardized testing demands of No Child Left Behind or other federal initiatives, and you can understand why the profession may be losing its appeal for talented high school and college students who might have considered it. In fact, for the first time in my career, I am hearing highly respected teachers, administrators, and professors say that they will not allow their own children to select education as their major area of college studies.
What should we do? We can neither turn back the hands of time nor gain honor and respect by complaining about our students, our schools, or state and federal policies. We need to gather our strength and publicly articulate a professional stance centered in advocacy and social justice. Stay tuned for "part two" of this entry: WHY AND HOW ADVOCACY AND COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL JUSTICE CAN REASSERT THE HONOR OF THE TEACHING PROFESSION.
Written by Beatrice S. Fennimore a teacher educator focused on advocacy and social justice for all children.
