Autism is a developmental disorder of the brain that appears in early childhood. The condition causes impairment of social interaction and communication, as well as unusual behaviour. It is becoming more apparent that the cause of autism is biomedical. Therefore, it is critical to identify and treat underlying health issues.
Many parents have found that their children have made significant behavioural and cognitive gains when put on nutritional interventions. Researchers are finding that children with autism do not digest their food properly, setting into motion an unfortunate chain of events. Incompletely digested food in the intestinal tract becomes a breeding ground for yeast, bacteria and other pathogenic organisms, stressing the immune system and contributing to leaky gut syndrome. Large molecules of this incompletely digested food pass directly into the blood stream, triggering allergies. Other improperly digested food molecules mimic opiates that pass directly into the brain, overloading the brain with opiates and causing further damage.
Most children with autism benefit from the gluten and casein free diet. Children on the gluten and casein free diet avoid foods, drinks and medications containing the gluten and casein proteins commonly found in wheat and milk. Children with autism mal-digest gluten and casein proteins which form opiate-like molecules that flood the brain with opiates, interfering with the proper function and development of the brain.
Children with autism do not create enough natural detoxifiers to remove heavy metals and other toxins from their bodies. Toxic substances tend to build up in them. The processes of methylation and sulfation are two of the healthy body's natural means of ridding itself of toxic substances. These individuals often need supplements to provide them with the raw materials their bodies need to carry out methylation and sulfation.
Autism is a multi-spectrum disorder with wide ranging symptoms that appear in varying degrees that are unique to each patient. Mega-vitamin therapy was one of the most significant, early breakthroughs in the treatment of individuals with autism. Researchers have been able to confirm through clinical tests that many children with autism suffer from severe vitamin deficiencies and that nutritional supplements could improve or even eliminate symptoms in many cases.
B Vitamins
The use of B vitamins that are bioactive (in a form the body can most readily use) are recommended because these children do not easily absorb adequate amounts of B vitamins. The bioactive form of vitamin B6, P5P, is specifically recommended. A pyyrole test can be ordered to see if a child has low zinc, B6 & B5
Magnesium and Vitamin B6
Some researchers have added magnesium to vitamin B6, reporting both nutrients may have better effects than taking B6 alone. Compound RX can formulate the appropriate amount of magnesium and Vitamin B6 to fit your child's specific needs. Those who have taken this formulation, report a wide range of benefits that include better eye contact, less self-stimulatory behaviour, more interest in the surrounding world, fewer tantrums, more speech and more normality in general.
B12 and Folic Acid
B12 and Folic Acid are also critical vitamins used by the body to detoxify itself on a regular basis. TMG (trimethylglycine) and Betaine, both powerful methylators, are recommended to assist in the methylation process.
Children with autism may be selective eaters, which may put them at risk for some vitamin deficiencies. If a diet is high in processed foods, the child may be deficient in vitamins C, E, and B-6 and minerals such as magnesium, molybdenum, chromium, and selenium.
The Compounding Lab can also custom-make supplements and prescription medications to fit your child's needs and patients with autism. We can formulate medications that are:
- Gluten free
- Casein free
- Soy free
- Preservative free
- No artificial flavouring
- No artificial colouring.
We can compound sugar-free prescription yeast infections medications.
If you do not see what you are looking for, please contact us. We can order and/or make almost any formulation you need.

Polaroid released the popular iPad application called Instant Camera for iPhone users, too.
The Polaroid Instant Camera app, previously available on Macs and iPads, can now be downloaded by iPhones users. Although it is compatible with all iPhones from 3GS or above, and all iPod Touch 3rd-gen or above, the company says that the software works best with the iPhone 5.
Apply instant film effects to your photos
Polaroid's application gives users the possibility to add special filters and a class border to write custom text on it. This will create an authentic Polaroid instant image, lest it should bring back all the good memories, when users were making use of the company's instant cameras.
iPhone users can take a photo directly from the app and add filters to it, or they can add the same effects to the pictures already found in the image gallery. According to the company, the application is replicating the processes in real-time with visual and sound effects, meaning that the users will need to wait for the photos to be "developed."
After taking a photo, iPhone and iPod Touch owners will see an undeveloped Polaroid film, and during the photographic process, sound effects will keep the owners busy.
Basic features
The Polaroid Instant Camera supports no less than 30 effects, 10 of them being exclusively developed by Polaroid. Users can adjust filters such as emulsion, intensity, grain, and vignette, while choosing from 10 fonts, waiting to be added to the class border. There are up to 26 class border colors and effects, including fingerprint, stain, and wrinkles.
iPhone users can re-size and rotate the text using gestures. The same thing can be said about the visual effects like vignetting, which creates an authentic Polaroid look. The photos can be shared on social networking websites like Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, and China's Twitter-like service called Sina Weibo.
The Polaroid Instant Camera app version 1.0.2 is now available for download at the iTunes Store. The file is sized at 21MB, and it is available in several languages, including English, French, Italian, and Spanish. It can be downloaded by iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad users for the price of $0.99.

Simmered with Chillies, Sesame, Coconut, and Brown Sugar
One of the things I love most about Indian cooking is how we can take an ingredient that's ordinary or familiar and transform it into something new and unexpected. For example, you may have eaten pumpkin all your life, but I can guarantee you've never tasted it quite like this.
Chunks of pumpkin are flavored with a mellow, nutty blend of sesame seeds, coconut, and brown sugar. Meanwhile, fiery green chillies and mustard seeds provide a sharp counterbalance. The overall effect is a sweet and savory dish that elevates pumpkin beyond the usual desserts to which we've become accustomed.
If it happens not to be pumpkin season, this recipe is equally delicious with butternut squash, which you can usually purchase year-round.
One 4-pound pumpkin
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons black mustard seeds
10 to 12 curry leaves*
3 or 4 Indian green chillies*, cut in half
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup sesame seeds
2 tablespoons coconut powder (unsweetened, desiccated coconut)
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
Cayenne, to taste
* Available at Indian grocery stores

This week's featured guest is author Sujata Banerjee Massey, who recently ended her fabulous Rei Shimura mystery series with the tenth and final installment, Shimura Trouble. Along the way, Sujata has collected numerous mystery award nominations, including the Edgar and Anthony, won the Agatha and Macavity awards, traveled often to Japan for research, and saw her books published in 18 countries. She is currently writing a new standalone novel with the working title, The Sleeping Dictionary. It's a historical thriller that tells the story of India's struggle for independence through a young Bengali woman's point of view.
When I was invited to write for this blog, I was delighted. In my opinion, there are not enough books published showing us the world. To wit: when I was getting ready to send out The Salaryman's Wife, I attended a conference at which a famous mystery editor opined that mysteries in foreign countries don't sell – except if the location was England! I swallowed hard, because my unpublished manuscript was set in Japan. And what made the situation all the harder was my inner worry that I didn't have the right to write about Japan.

Associated Studies Submitting a proposal
An Associated Study is an opportunity for individuals or organisations to collect information from respondents that has not already been asked for in the survey.
We are not currently accepting applications for associated studies. Please join our mailing list to receive information on when the associated study programme opens again.
Anyone interested in conducting an Associated Study should read this guide carefully before outlining their proposal through the application process detailed below. Initial enquires can be made prior to submission of an application via firstname.lastname@example.com. We welcome and encourage discussions with potential applicants to talk through their ideas and potential costs of their Associated Study.
Putting forward a proposal to conduct an Associated Study is one of two ways in which researchers from outside as well as inside the Understanding Society team can get involved with its development. The other is through the annual Innovation Panel Competition.
Carrying out an Associated Study provides the opportunity for new cross-disciplinary and mixed method approaches, an important aspect of the survey's design.
You can find out about previous Associated Studies in the projects area.
All Associated Studies are self-funded and the researcher or research team applying to run the study is responsible for raising the full costs of doing so.
To ensure funding bids are realistic and take into account the complexities of working with such a large-scale survey, it will be helpful for applicants to discuss their funding proposals (in broad terms) with the Understanding Society team before they are submitted, as they can advise on the expected costs for fieldwork and other associated activities. We would therefore strongly recommend that you contact the team prior to submitting your application, to discuss the potential costs. You will not be able to start your Associated Study until funding has been confirmed.
One key thing to consider when making a funding bid is the cost of providing incentives for respondents.
In order to maximise the impact of the Associated Study, data collection methods are not limited to a particular methodological approach and could encompass a wide range of methods and approaches, such as:
- Qualitative or quantitative
- Quantitative diary data collection
- Visual or audio methods
- Experimental methods
- The use of web surveys for capturing events at more frequent intervals than the annual interview
- Follow-up studies of particular sub-groups within the sample
The Innovation Panel sample will be used for the majority of Associated Studies. Applicants wishing to use the Main Sample must state clear reasons in their application why this should be used instead.
The scientific leadership team continues to have a responsibility to ensure sample members are protected and not over-burdened to an extent which would jeopardise future participation in the study.
Associated Studies will take place between waves of the Innovation Panel as a separate process. In order to ensure that the sample members are not overburdened, we limit the number of Associated Studies a year to one in case of a full IP sample. As the IP runs between May and September with the data being delivered towards the end of the year, a full-sample associated study can only take place between January and March. Smaller-scale studies that are designed to approach a small sub-set of individuals from the Innovation Panel sample between waves are more easily accommodated. There may be opportunities to run more than one qualitative or sub-sample associated studies a year, depending on what sub-samples they use, and details will be discussed and agreed on individual basis.
For any full-sample surveys, the researcher will be required to use the currently contracted survey agency (Kantar Public) to conduct the fieldwork. This is so that there can be an opt-out consent process, which would not be possible if using another agency. For small-scale qualitative studies, there will usually be no need to use a fieldwork agency as the invitation letters will be sent by the Understanding Society team and the fieldwork will be carried out by the researchers themselves. The applicant is responsible for the production and provision of all finalised field materials, questionnaires or other equipment needed for fieldwork.
Questionnaires and other field documents will be supplied to the Understanding Society team for comment prior to the applicant making contact with respondents, and will be subject to any changes deemed necessary. The Understanding Society brand will be retained across all materials, but the Associated Study will be clearly distinguished from the core IP or mainstage fieldwork.
Ethical approval
Ethical approval is required for any Associated Study. This should be sought by the applicant from their own institution, and/or from an NHS Research Ethics Committee if necessary.
Written evidence of ethical approval must be provided to the Understanding Society team.
Data security
All applicants are obliged to conform to all data security and confidentiality procedures deemed necessary by the Understanding Society Principal Investigator and to sign a written undertaking stating they will comply with these.
Please read these rules and procedures carefully:
- If required, the applicant is responsible for selecting the sample of interest to them from the survey data and for providing the anonymised unique personal identifiers (PIDs) for those sample members to the Understanding Society team.
- Respondents will be contacted first by Understanding Society to allow respondents to opt out of taking part in the Associated Study. Where required by the research design, details of names and addresses will only be supplied to the applicant for those respondents who have not opted out.
- Where provided, details of names and addresses of sample members will be held by the applicant in a secure environment and not used for any purpose other than the agreed research.
- On completion of the research project all confidential paper material will be shredded or permanently deleted if machine readable.
- Anonymised data generated by the Associated Study will be deposited with the UK Data Service in an agreed format and within a reasonable time-frame to be agreed. This will normally be within three months of the end of the funding for the Associated Study.
- The applicant will deposit a separate correspondence file of the Understanding Society PIDs together with the identifiers used for their study in the UK Data Service and this file will be subject to special licence access conditions.
Criteria and eligibility
Applications will be assessed by the Understanding Society Executive Team and members of relevant scientific groups for their scientific merit according to a set of agreed criteria. An Associated Study must satisfy these criteria in order to be successful.
The criteria for selection include:
- a clear scientific rationale for the Associated Study in relation to Understanding Society
- a clear justification of why the associated study requires the use of Understanding Society sample members and could not be carried out on another sample selected for the purpose
- clear analytic advantages of having the resulting data available within Understanding Society
- a longitudinal rationale for the proposed study
- the proposed study will not harm or impose an unacceptable burden on survey respondents
- plans for high quality research outputs resulting from the study and their likely impact
- agreement to deposit anonymised data within the UK Data Service within an agreed timeframe
It is expected that studies will make significant use of data already being collected as part of Understanding Society.
Applications to carry out out an Associated Study must be based on scientific merit and value. To maximise your chances of success, you should read all sections of this guide before applying.
Please download and complete the Associated Studies Application Form (PDF) or Associated Studies Application Form (Word). Once completed, return via email to Dr Violetta Parutis
Or via post

Essex, CO4 3SQ
Download the the application process guide
The step-by-step process and timescales for reviewing applications are as follows:
- Applications are evaluated by the Understanding Society Executive Team and members of relevant scientific groups.
- A decision is taken on whether the study is suitable for inclusion within 1 month of receipt of the application. Note that the assessors may make recommendations about changes they wish to see to the study design or data collection procedures before giving final approval.
- The applicant seeks funding opportunities and submits applications for funding from an external source
- Once funding is secured, the Understanding Society team works with successful applicants on the development of fieldwork protocols and the implementation of their study.
- The researcher applies for independent ethical approval for the Associated Study.
- Once ethical approval is granted, the researcher develops a detailed project plan and data management plan for the Study, and the start date for the study is agreed.
The Understanding Society Principal Investigator reserves the right to halt or withdraw support for the Associated Study if there is any evidence of misconduct or harm to respondents.
Misconduct will include extending the research to be carried out without prior agreement or carrying out any form of contact or data collection not agreed within the protocol.

I can remember the first time I peered into my Mom's Avon lady tester kit. It was a huge pink box filled with mini sized lipsticks, shadows, foundation sticks and blushes. I was endlessly amused by the zillions of colors and spent many a morning in my grade school days applying what I thought was imperceptible amounts of base and mascara to make myself look as flawless as the models I perused in magazines. As a "tween" I recall my first real trip to the makeup counter for a makeover. In hindsight I realize now that the forest green shadows, berry red lips and rosy red blush were probably not my best look but I was overjoyed to own my very first kit complete with mini brushes and a mirror. After that I became hooked on any unfolding palette no matter what the contents were good, bad or ugly.
This season I cannot wait to get my hands on some of the colossal kits that have popped up by some of my favorite brands. Makeup Forever Aqua Eye Collection is the most luscious set of eyeliners I could ever wish for, with 25 colors ranging from classic black to hot pink you can create just about any look imaginable. And knowing how smashingly these pencils stay on I couldn't dream up a better set if I tried. It's perfect for anyone that wants to unleash their inner artist.
Or a great gift that will have your favorite Aunt or Mom in Law singing your praises, the Estee Lauder Color Spectacular featuring a pretty little champagne colored train case, fifteen pan eye shadow palette, trio of blushes, four lipsticks, brushes, liner and mascara, but quantities are limited so don't procrastinate.
For the mineral makeup lover the ever popular Bare Essentials has cranked out another whimsical twenty-one piece collection of shadows liners, blushes, glosses and mini brushes. These vibrant shades give endless possibilities whatever your mineral mood..
Of course Nordstrom has it's own little…make that -big blockbuster of a Palette containing one hundred-forty-four shades of shadows and a dozen blush colors to suit any fancy, but again it's a limited time only so get your wish list started.
And for the absolute makeup junkie on your gift list the Sephora ultimate collection filled with over one hundred shadows, sixty lipsticks, eighteen sparkly shadows, cream liners and shimmery blushes. It's like the mother of all makeup extravaganzas. If you can't find the color your heart desires after this…you never will darling.

Melanie Phillips explains Gramsci
1:44 pm - November 10th 2009
Sometimes a particular combination of headline and author catches your eye and you just know where the article is going to go. So I must admit a certain sense of keen anticipation when I spotted the words 'We were fools to think the fall of the Berlin Wall had killed off the far Left. They're back – and attacking us from within' in conjunction with the name 'Melanie Phillips'.
At first reading, the piece appeared to be a corker, right down to the stab at summarising Gramsci for a Daily Mail audience. Sure, I know that idea sounds counterintuitive, in a 'Richard Littlejohn outlines his debt to the theology of Reinhold Niebuhr' or 'Seumas Milne ponders the downsides of Serbian nationalism' kind of way, but to my mind that just made it all the better.
So imagine my disappointment, dear reader, when a quick Google revealed that both the underlying thesis – not to mention chunks of text – are simply rehashed from a 2007 piece authored by Linda Kimball on the US far right fringe website American Thinker. It transpires that Ms Phillips may not have read Prison Notebooks after all, and really should cut Kimball in for at least 50% of the presumably not ungenerous fee she got for the feature.
But in District Line terms, the argument advanced by these two women is totally Dagenham, as psychiatrists dub patients who are clearly three stops beyond Barking. If Kimball and Phillips are to be believed, me and my mates are running the world. Yep, the liberal left has only been pretending to be on the back foot for the last three decades, the better to gull the masses.
Thankfully, our heroines have twigged that we have secretly ditched class struggle at the point of production, only to resume it at the level of ideology. Moreover, the tactic has worked brilliantly, and we have virtually succeeded in installing the dictatorship of the politically correctariat.
Our basic problem is that we are 'hostile towards western civilisation' and thus seeking to bring it down. We just can't help hating freedom, thanks to our 'totalitarian mindset that replicates the way communist societies clamped down on any other than permitted views'. This is tantamount to reconstituted 'communist ideology' that is actually worse than full on Stalinism, being 'even more deadly' as an 'active enemy of western freedom.'
Got that, folks? Forget the Red Terror, forced collectivisation, the Great Purge, Hungary 1956, the Cultural Revolution, the suppression of the Prague Spring, and Cambodia in the Year Zero. Political correctness is 'even more deadly'.
Now, I have to admit that feminist friends sometimes do tick me off for cracking mildly sexist jokes, and rightly so. But this has not so far resulted in a knock on the door at midnight from a detachment of Beria-inspired bulldykes, come to carry me off to PC re-education camp so that I can learn from the peasantry.
Now for the clever bit; all of this stuff was theorised in the scribbled thoughts of some Italian bloke banged up by Mussolini for his opposition to fascism, and subsequently 'taken up by Sixties radicals'.
Phillips: This was what might be called 'cultural Marxism'. It was based on the understanding that what holds a society together are the pillars of its culture: the structures and institutions of education, family, law, media and religion. Transform the principles that these embody and you can thus destroy the society they have shaped.
Kimball: The new battleground, reasoned Gramsci, must become the culture, starting with the traditional family and completely engulfing churches, schools, media, entertainment, civic organizations, literature, science, and history. All of these things must be radically transformed and the social and cultural order gradually turned upside-down with the new proletariat placed in power at the top.
Phillips proceeds to list the consequences: 'the nuclear family has been widely shattered' … 'education was wrecked' … 'law and order were similarly undermined' … 'illegal drugtaking tacitly encouraged' … 'turned morality inside out'. Then we get to the real target of the broadside:
Feminism, anti-racism and gay rights thus turned men, white people and Christians into the enemies of decency who were forced to jump through hoops to prove their virtue.
Indisputably, there has been an erosion of social cohesion in Britain since the 1970s. But the primary reason is not the clandestine machinations of closet Gramscians, but the abandonment of social democracy for exactly the kind of inegalitarian society driven by the very market forces that Phillips applauds for 'carrying the torch of liberty'.
And if feminism, anti-racism and gay rights really are that wicked, with what should they be replaced? Presumably the return of the traditional mother and wife, penalty-free racial discrimination and a retreat to the times of hush-hush homosexuality.
Whatever anyone thinks of society today, it is the creation of Thatcherism and Blairism, which are both essentially variations on a neoliberal theme. Lenin would not – as Phillips crassly concludes – be smiling if he could somehow see it from his mausoleum. But Hayek certainly would be.
In short, Phillips already lives in the kind of country that is the only conceivable outcome of the brand of rightwingery she herself represents; she might at least be that little bit more graceful about it.

Well, if you really were a secret ruler of the world, wouldn't you deny it?
Shit, I think I just saw a black helicopter.
Anyway, I would quite like to see Ms Phillips "prove her virtue". I suspect that would be quite a big ask.
As entertaining as I find Mad Mel's columns, I think it is about time to take on board the fact that she really is utterly deranged and just ignore her. I think we need to get beyond the pointing and laughing stage now.
If 'Melanie Philips' were a blogger or a green-inker, I'd agree – but she writes articles that get published, without "this person is a loony" disclaimers, in a national newspaper with a circulation of more than two million.
I went to a dinner party with Mad Mel once. I was forbidden by the host from engaging. Longest two hours of my life.
Poor Joshua Rosenberg.
Mad Mel is apparently one of those people, like Peter Hitchens, who used to be a leftist but has now swung to the right. Beggars belief that she could have ever been a leftist, doesn't?
She needs urgent help. Now.
5 – maybe she was just carrying out a long march through the institutions before revealing her true mission?
Incidentally, I was once accused in the comments of my blog of being a Gramsciian – I think because I don't like Simon Heffer. It was a slightly surreal experience.
@5 the fact that she bases her crazy rants on misquotings and misunderstandings of obscure political theorists, rather than on religious texts and Common Sense Innit, does place her stylistically closer to the far-left rather than the far-right, even though the content is full-on wingnut…
Melanie Phillips is a Classical Liberal, with all the contradictions and contortions that entails.
She's clearly more Hornchurch or Upminster Bridge than being mere Dagenham Heathway.
The most successful exponant of Gramscian hegemonic struggle was Margaret Thatcher, as Stuart Hall (no not the bloke from 'Its A Knockout') argued as far back as the 70's. The European Left was too in thrawl to the crackpot Louis Althusser.
@Tim J
If not liking Simon Heffer makes you a Gramsciite, then there's presumably just about everyone is.
Heffer is a thoroughly unsatisfactory human being.
It was my objection to his using the word 'hecatomb' to mean 'quite a lot' that triggered it apparently. Whether Gramsci was particularly known for his linguistic pedantry goes beyond my area of expertise.
There's a road called Gramsci Way, SE6 here in Lewisham. I think that proves Mel's point conclusively.
We've got a Slag Lane.
Just saying.
I seam to remember Gramsci was a bit of a prude and a killjoy because free love and having a good time was sapping revolutionary fervour.
Perhaps he and Flip aren't so far apart after all.
If our revolutionary fervour is strict, we have no need of fun.
She'd be funny if she wasn't
a) mental
b) read by so many people.
Ah, those liberal fascists they're always going on about. How everyone has to be a liberal, and those that aren't are, well, you're right, not carried off in the middle of the night. They are tolerated! Shock horror.
Besides, Phillips and her like only believe in free speech for themselves and being bloody great wind-up merchants
Mad Mel is Southend Central
What this is, right…
…after spending four years studying Gramsci in detail, Melanie Phillips comes along and tries to summarise it in a newspaper column and gets it drastically wrong. I still rock up, read it and think, "hey, maybe she's read stuff I haven't read?"
I think she has. I think she's read something that doesn't exist. I think Mel's turned so bulletheaded that she can't really read anything except what she wants to read in things.
She's so popular because she can say the stupid things that people think in a very eloquent manner. People often mistake eloquence in the proposition for actual substance.
Boys and Girls,
It does amuse me how all of you are so frightened of Melanie Phillips.
You all seem to think she is Ellsworth Toohey.
Oh, the irony – you couldn't make it any funnier.
I'll admit that her possible influence worries me.
But anyone that mental worries me, she should be getting the treatment she needs rather than more people agreeing with her, they only encourage her
Bearded Socialist re: Comment 22,
Said like a true socialist.
Do you have a particular Gulag in mind where she can recieve treatment until she agrees with you?
You forgot you put 'treatment' between two apostrophes.
The Bearded Socialist Gulag for the Criminally Right Wing should do
Oh dear, Kojak. Are you deteriorating into an outright troll? Comment 23 suggests so, sadly.
Frollix22 re: Comment 25,
Me, a troll?
Would that make Bearded Socialist's comment 24 a 'Counter-troll statement'?
Don't be daft bandying around the word troll just because I show some discomfort at how people on this board delight in having a go at Melanie Phillips.
You might not think she reaches the right conclusions but let's not bury our heads in the sand and pretend some of the issues she discusses are of no concern.
Bearded Socialist re: Comment 24,
Any idea how big your carbon footprint will be if you use your Lada to take her there?
she's a wind-up merchant. Part of her success is that she riles the likes of us, so we can have a little pop back at her for winding us up. She certainly does that well, she makes steam come out of my ears.
As long as it's light hearted and not too serious, there's little wrong with it. It's not serious, but shouldn't be taken as serious.
Having looked up on google what a Lada is, i think it only right she's put on bendy buses to get there
Bearded Socialist re: Comment 29,
To you sir, I doff my bowler hat.
You truely are a comrade with a sense of humour.
Do you have a particular Gulag in mind where she can recieve treatment until she agrees with you?
I think a few years in a library might do her more good, preferably researching logic and critical thinking.
30. Kojak
I thank you.
Mad Mel in a library, now that would be torture
Mad Mel in a library, now that would be torture
Torture for her, everyone going Ssssh, Ssssh at her.
Torture for her – that's the point.
Also the fact she'd have to come into contact with facts
Clearly Hell's Mel doesn't understand Critical Theory.
Anyway, here's my, um critical theory: I think she's not got long left as clearly Dacre's mutant spunk is dissolving her septic brains…

The short answer is "less risk and less expensive." The slightly longer answer is "a lot less risk and quite a bit less expensive." Especially considering the longevity of ERP software packages once they are installed. I usually compare the implementation process to assembling furniture from the popular furniture store IKEA®. It sounds straight forward but…
I remember the first time I brought a piece of furniture home from IKEA, and then discovered that a basic book shelf contains more pieces than you would have thought possible. I opened the boxes and started pulling out a few pieces only to realize the available floor space might not be sufficient to accommodate the assembly process. I stopped pulling the big pieces out and instead reached for the little bags with all the screws and what looked like a little handy lifesaving tool to make it all come together. The IKEA wrench! Little did I know that by the end of this process my fingers would be hurting profusely, and possibly bleeding, and I'd be wishing the whole thing had gotten lost in shipping. I eventually found the single sheet of paper with instructions, and finally, after moving the pieces around the room 2 or 3 times, asking for a helping hand to hold the contraption during the assembly process, re-doing a few steps, and probably raising my voice once or twice, I finally declared victory and the book shelf was done! The whole process took way longer and was much more stressful than it should've been, just due to the fact that I was unfamiliar with it.
If you've ever bought IKEA furniture I am sure you recognize this pattern. You'll also probably know that the second and third time around the experience is much different. First off you brought your electric screwdriver to the battle, because now you know that the little IKEA wrench is NOT your friend. He goes right in the trash. Second, you have cleared a good floor area for your assembly so that you can lay out all pieces flat and/or leaning against the walls in an orderly pattern. You have planned ahead and have a helping hand in the vicinity should the need for an extra set of hands arise. The process is smooth and almost enjoyable. You don't start sweating and you don't have to raise your voice. You planned for half an hour, and that is about what it took to put it together.
So what does this have to do with ERP software? Well, I think that implementing an ERP product in principle can be compared to the furniture assembly process, only at a much larger scale of course. If the ERP package in question is not written specifically for your line of business and the software partner is not intimately familiar with your industry, it very quickly turns into a much more complex project than is necessary. You have a high risk of project overrun, and you may end up not getting all the benefits you had planned for. If, on top of this, you have substantial customization to the standard software, you may end up paying a premium for support and upgrades on an ongoing basis. It is really a high-risk project with unpredictable expenses in both the short and the long term.
If, on the other hand, you work with an ERP software package that has been developed specifically for your industry (a vertical solution), and you work with a partner that has implemented this package maybe a hundred times at businesses such as your own, you are much more likely to have a successful implementation. It is comparable to putting the same bookshelf together over and over again. You know exactly where the pieces fit together. You lower the risk dramatically. You have predictable costs and there is a high probability that your project will come in on time and on budget. Your ongoing cost of maintaining the system will also be much lower since there will be little to no custom components in your installation.

did ya notice they use pistol grip controllers like the ones finnegans have for sale...
I get dizzy reading your posts.
I would say a definite training session would be in order for those. I'd love to see one of those coming down the road. Looks like something that Tim "The tool man" Taylor would cook up.
The big question. Do you buy one one or two of those or a 20 yard loader??
Dave, these are the trucks the weather channel did a piece on 2 or 3 years ago! Nice to see the story.

Consumers today have so many online options to buy products and services. Anyone today can search a specific product or item and have multiple options to buy. When the consumer picks your shopping cart for whatever reason, it is import to retain that customer for future purchases.
In order to do this, you must have a good cloud based inventory solution that connects your shopping cart to your warehouse or fulfillment, delivers the order error free, and requires verification and validation that the right product is being shipped.
Without this crucial piece, orders typically are picked correct less than 50% of the time and your customer most likely will look someone else for their next purchase.
Can you run your business without verification and validation?

The Fruitful Life - Part I
The Fruitful Life – Part 1
Stephen Hayes
Sunday March 3, 2019
Main Idea– God's plan for you –- that He determined from before the beginning of time –- is greater than you could have imagined for yourself. However, to experience it, you will have to become planted (established) in His Word and in His church.
Fruit of the Spirit
- Galatians 5: 22-23(see below) list the attributes of the Fruit of the Spirit. These are things that will become part of your personality as you grow in your relationship with God.
- The first three attributes: love, joy, and peace, are God's gift to you.
- The second three attributes: longsuffering, kindness, and goodness are gifts you can give to others.
- The last three attributes: faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are what you can display back to God for His glory.
Appreciation versus Depreciation
- Some things in life gain value as time goes on. Other things lose value as time passes.
- It is best to put our resources into things that will appreciate in value through time.
- Proverbs 22:6 – Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. This is one Bible verse that teaches the wisdom of investing in things for the long-term.
- A life invested in what Jesus is doing is a life that will experience an appreciation in its value. For example, can you imagine what the colt on which Jesus rode into Jerusalem was worth after Jesus used it? Mark 11: 2-3 – and He said to them, "Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. And if anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord has need of it,' and immediately he will send it here."
- In the same way, what Jesus touches in your life will appreciate in value.
Spirit versus Flesh
- We are both body and spirit. Our body struggles against the spirit, and our spirit struggles against our body. Galatians 5: 16-18 – I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
- These are the things that become evident in our personalities when the flesh is dominant in our lives:Galatians 5: 19-21 – Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in the past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
- The Bible is clear about what is sin. Sin is not negotiable. It is what it is.
- These are the things that become evident in our personalities when the Spirit is dominant in our lives. Galatians 5: 22-26 – But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
- The Holy Spirit produces all those attributes. Each of us is the medium through which the Holy Spirit shows its attributes.
- The attributes of the Fruit of the Spirit are for the benefit of others, not for our own benefit. For example, the love we receive from God should be re-produced through us for others.
Potted versus Planted
- Simply because a person is a Christian, and will someday live in Heaven, does not mean s/he is living the best quality of life that is possible, and that God has intended for him or her.
- Many of the problems that come upon Christians result because they have a "potted" lifestyle rather than a "planted" lifestyle.
A potted lifestyle
- Potted plants are mobile, they can be easily moved around to different places.
- Mobility has value, but it also limits growth potential.
- The root systems of potted plants are smaller and more fragile than plants living in the outside ground.
A planted lifestyle
- Plants growing in the outside ground have deeper root systems and are therefore stronger.
- Plants growing in the ground produce more fruit than do potted plants.
- Plants growing in the ground have greater potential for growth than do potted plants.
- Anyone planted in God's house will produce fruit visible in the outside environment. Psalm 92:13 – Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
The generational benefits of being planted
- Almost everyone knows the story of David and Goliathtold in 1 Samuel 17. Perhaps, not many people know that David's lineage came from a group of people who had a "planted" mindset.
- The Book of Ruthprimarily tells the story of two women: Naomi and Ruth. Through good times and bad, Ruth was planted in her devotion to her mother-in-law Naomi. As a consequence, Ruthmarried a man named Boaz. Together they were the great-grandparents of King David.
- Great things come from being planted in one place.
- Being planted may not always be the most exciting thing but, long-term, will likely produce the best quality return on the time and resources invested.
- Where we plant ourselves today will determine what our children will experience tomorrow.
Reflective Questions for The Fruitful Life, Part 1
- The Bible tells us that our fleshly desires are continually in battle against what the Holy Spirit wants to produce through us. What things usually produce fleshly fruit in your life? What things in your life usually produce Spiritual fruit?
- What does it look like to have a "potted" mindset? What does it look like to have a "planted" lifestyle?
- What are things that may cause a person to unknowingly construct a "potted" mindset in life? What kind of decisions reflect someone who is living a "planted" mindset?
Can you identify some good things in your life that came from your parents having a "planted" mindset? What are some things you can do to ensure your children benefit from your own "planted" decisions?

SometimeSaturday EVents
This morning I'm hosting our 4th SometimeSaturday event. Each time I'm full of excitement and anticipation wondering who will attend and what it will be like. As the events gets closer I start to worry no one will show and how that might make me feel (shameful, sad, discouraged). As soon as the worry creeps in I knock it OUT by reminding myself that this is not about me. These events were not designed to serve me. That was never the intention. Because of that I'm able to find enough courage to go to a restaurant and sit alone, not knowing who (if anyone) will show. Six days go by and I do it again. I have to say that it has been one of the most fulfilling things in my life. I hope to see you at one of the events. If you have friends or family in Dallas, please let those ladies know about the SometimeSaturday events. All details for the group and upcoming events can be found here. Y'all have a good day!

Into the Wild: Steve Gunn on the Road Much Traveled
The New York guitar wizard cut his teeth playing with everyone from Kurt Vile to bluegrass traditionalists The Black Twig Pickers to the droning GHQ. Ahead of the release of his first album for Matador, he tells us how he got here.
Patience. Not readily associated with big-city living, or on a grander scale, life in the twenty-first century, it can often be neglected with the passing of time. Mounting pressure to check off life's to-do list or meet self-imposed expectations can be daunting. For those involved with creative endeavors, especially music, the weight can be all too familiar. A rushed single, album, or tour can stifle the creative psyche, leaving both the artist and listener tired and confused.
Enter Steve Gunn, a songwriter whose catalog and disposition exudes patience and focus. With a proclivity to capture the crux of both city and wilderness via cosmic Americana, Gunn is mindful and grateful for his temperament—one he has had to labor for, and continues to do so. Among a labyrinthine discography dating back to 2009, his first studio record with a band, 2013's Time Off, saw Gunn assume the role of bandleader for the first time. As part of a trio backed by John Truscinski on drums and Justin Tripp on bass and guitar, Gunn's already adventurous guitar work was further brought to life with the advent of another first: vocals. While the title and breezy compositions like "Water Wheel" could easily be mistaken as an homage to vacation, for Gunn it was quite the opposite.
"Some people, when I came out with the singing stuff, were like, 'What the hell, you sing?' For me, I had been doing it for a long time, but privately. The title references that, really taking my time to develop my work. It happened pretty naturally," he explains over the phone from a skatepark in Copenhagen, where he's prepping for the fifth show of his European tour.
Gunn says the opportunity to further refine his vocals came from his "formative years" performing in Europe as a solo artist, often in cities where he was unfamiliar with the language. In addition, a spring tour in 2013 with longtime friend and collaborator Kurt Vile had Gunn pulling double duty. The Time Off band would open, and Gunn would sit in with The Violators immediately following. Now playing to his largest crowds to date, Gunn speaks of Vile and that run of shows fondly.
"Sometimes people paint Kurt as this [slacker] character, but it's false. When it comes to it, he's such a hard worker and so together. He keeps such a strong focus on what's going on. That was inspiring, how hard that band works. All the gear, every little aspect of that production was something new to me," he recalls.
Carrying that doggedness with him, Gunn's output for the next two years was massive. "I think I got a little out of hand. I was doing a lot of collaborative work, sometimes forgetting stuff was going to come out. Then it would happen all at once and I'd be like, 'Holy shit, five records came out in three months,'" he laughs.
"I think I got a little out of hand. I was doing a lot of collaborative work, sometimes forgetting stuff was going to come out. Then it would happen all at once and I'd be like, 'Holy shit, five records came out in three months.'"
Although easily pigeonholed by critics as an American primitive nostalgic, 2014's Way Out Weather pushed him far beyond any preconceived notions. Writing on the road with a larger group of players at his back, Gunn found his lyrics, orchestration, and playing ripening tenfold. The band now boogies, choogles, and swings effortlessly, without overt attempts at being flashy or loud.
"For us, having that interplay is really important—to be intuitive in our playing while still remaining propulsive without relying on excessive volume or effects. Similar to jazz, you can create a lot of dynamics without overdoing it," he explains.
With Eyes on the Lines, his seventh studio album and first for Matador, that interplay is unmistakable. An ecstatic ode to wanderlust, the album affords Gunn and company the opportunity to spend the majority of this year on the road. While still interested in doing collaborative work, it's taking a "bit of a backseat" at the moment. Looking ahead at a massive list of dates can be dizzying, he admits. "Sometimes it can make your head spin a little bit. For me, I like to take it in small doses." However intimidating, it is precisely the opportunity to travel that has afforded us some of his best material.
"I realize that I'm a privileged person to travel and play music. I signed up for it. I was determined to see if I could pull it off and make it work. When you are confronted with that, it's like you're looking off over a cliff. Once you take that step you have to go really hard. That's what I did last year. I toured my face off."
Breaking away from the pastoral undercurrents of Way Out Weather, Gunn wanted to capture the grit of his hometown moving forward. As a result, Eyes is by far Gunn's most "urban" sounding record. He says prior efforts had a "sheep in a meadow vibe," and this time he chose to draw upon quintessential NYC records for inspiration, including Television's Marquee Moon and The Velvet Underground's Matrix Tapes box set. Reflective of the long haul leading to its release, the album, akin to Gunn's ethos, is unruly.
With a wildly ambitious schedule ahead, Gunn is undisturbed; he manages the load with peace of mind. A self-professed short attention span makes it difficult for him to meditate in a traditional sense, though walking and practice are important substitutes. "Just taking walks without too many heavy duty destinations or time constraints," he says. "I'll play something cyclical to get my mind at ease. It's just my way of relaxing." FL

Every Wednesday
Catch up with the latest from Little Souls on our Facebook page!
Each Wednesday morning in term time we welcome babies, toddlers and their carers to the All Souls halls and garden for Little Souls.
It's a great way to meet other carers – mums, dads, grandparents, nannies and child-carers – in a friendly and down-to-earth atmosphere. The children have lots to do – from climbing equipment, dressing up and ride-on toys to craft activities and storybooks.
Here's a look at a typical Wednesday – shot in July 2010:
Little Souls is run by a team of volunteers from All Souls church who can be contacted via the church office.
There are refreshments for adults and children and a singing time towards the end, with plenty of time in between to chat and play. The sessions start at 10am and finish at 11.30am. The doors shut at 10.15am – though for health and safety reasons we have a limit on the number of children and carers we are able to admit and the door will be closed earlier if we have already reached the limit.

Not only can you submit a question or topic that you want advice on, but you can also write back with your own advice on other people's questions – and still remain anonymous.
It could be you just wanting to rant or you would love to hear someone else talk about the same thing and give you advice. Either way, the reason for this site and making it anonymous is so that you can openly talk about anything that is affecting you and hear from people who have been through similar experiences themselves but worked through it. You might even find that someone else has already submitted a topic that's almost identical to your situation and you can read through all the replies.
We are two sisters from an Indian background, born and bred in the UK. We have been daughter-in-laws and sister-in-laws and like anyone, there were times when we just needed advice. However it was sometimes hard to speak to people or trust them with our problems in case they came out. And so this is why we decided to set this up – so that people could talk about their problems in a trusted environment and not be judged. But at the same time, receive support from so many other people that might be in the same situation.
Problems and conflicts between mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws exists in every culture. However the reason why this may be more relevant to the Asian culture is because we live in the western world (and a lot of us might have been born there), but at the same time we are expected to live according to traditional and historical cultures of the east. This can create a lot of tension and stress.

Using Benefits Statements
Emotions help in selling
Wendy Connick
Appointments and Presentation Tips
If you've been in sales for awhile you're probably very familiar with the saying, "Features tell, benefits sell." Features are the things that your product does, while benefits are the ways that those features will help your customers. In other words, features are logical and benefits are emotional. And sales is all about creating an emotional state in your prospect that will encourage them to buy from you. To that end, benefits statements are a powerful tool.
For example, if you're selling office furniture to a prospect, a desk's features might include the fact that it's made of steel or that it has an ergonomic design. But the benefits statements for those features might sound like, "This desk will save you money because it's so durable. And you'll have the security of knowing that it's designed in a way that will protect your health." Or you could take a different tack and say something like, "This prestigious desk is made of high-quality materials and will impress clients who visit your office."
Any given feature that your product offers might have several potential benefits associated with it. Ideally, you would use whichever benefit will have the strongest affect on the prospect. Most of the time, the only way to know which benefits are important to her is to ask. Finding your prospect's hot-button issues and concerns is an important part of the qualification process. And while some prospects will come right out and tell you what they're worried about, others won't say anything unless you come right out and ask the questions.
Once you've ferreted out your prospect's desires and fears, you can match those emotions with the appropriate benefits statements. Frequently used benefits phrases include convenient, saves time, saves money, secure, prestigious, and easy to use. With a little brainstorming you can probably come up with many more benefits that apply to different features of your product. Don't forget to look at features that aren't specific to one product, such as fast shipping or on-premise installation.
A benefits statement is a way of showing the prospect how your product meets his need. Start by repeating back the prospect's need as you understand it. For example, you can say something like, "You mentioned earlier that you hate having a desk that gets dinged up easily, right?" Then pause and give him a moment to either correct you or agree with you. Assuming he agrees, you can hit him with the benefit statement: "Well, with this desk, you'll have peace of mind because you'll know that it's exceptionally sturdy and can take whatever you dish out."
Keep in mind that benefits statements are effective only if they target something that this specific prospect actually wants or needs. If you don't take the time to uncover those needs before you start selling, you're shooting in the dark. In the above example, if you hadn't probed for the prospect's motivation and discovered it was wanting to have a conveniently sturdy desk, you might have trotted out the "saves you money" benefit statements instead. Because the prospect doesn't particularly care about saving money, you might actually have demotivated him from buying instead of moving him closer to the purchase.
Before you head out to sell a product, you must thoroughly understand its features and also know what benefits you can associate with each. In fact, it's a good idea to prepare a list of several benefits for each product. And as your company updates its product offerings and add new ones, you'll need to adjust your list as well. Knowing your benefits statements before you head into an appointment will help you to sell far more effectively.

You spend five months of the year away filming Wild At Heart – is it hard being so far from home? I do miss my daughter, Daisy, but we speak every day, and she comes out for half of the summer holidays and autumn half term. She's done that for the last six years and has grown up with the animals. I do love being in Africa. I rent a house overlooking a lake called the Hartbeespoort Dam that is backed by the Magaliesberg Mountain Range. I can sit in the garden for hours and just drink it all in.
My loves Skype. I use it to stay in touch with Daisy while I'm away filming.
Stephen Spielberg. He's such an incredible storyteller.
Treasure Island. It's one of the best adventure stories ever written. It's so gripping, you can almost smell what's going on.
Latest Stories
My hates Loud tourists. You can only appreciate other countries for the first time by being as quiet as possible.
Hangovers. I used to drink and enjoyed it, but it got to the stage where I wasn't so good with the hangovers. Five years ago, I gave up alcohol and now my tipple is ginger ale.
Pessimists. I've always been an optimist. It's very draining to be around negative people.

Magic sends tingles through Chafee's Body
Sep 11
"Once you start to ask," Eleanor says, "there are more questions than answers." Not a surprising statement in a play whose title, Why We Have a Body promises an answer to an implied question. And as Eleanor warns us, once those questions start forming, the answers, they keep multiplying.
Claire Chafee's wonderfully enigmatic play is back at the Magic Theatre to open its 45th anniversary season with a look backward before heading into a season of newer plays. Body is being called a "legacy revival" because it was a huge hit for the Magic in 1993, running for six months and winning a passel of awards. What a welcome return it is.
In the nearly two decades since the play's premiere, it has lost nothing in its sense of humor, sense of mystery and sense of, well, sensuality.
Chafee's is an intellectual world – people living in their heads, in their pasts (the phrase "when I was a child" crops up a lot), in a perpetual state of perplexity – but that world is sliced through by a sharp comedy derived from family fractures and psychological scars.Read More

By: Gail Townsend—
Muncie, IN—Ball State professor Jim Needham will be the keynote speaker at the Old West End Arts Festival on Saturday, Aug. 24, with a presentation on iconic American painter Bob Ross, whose The Joy of Painting was produced at WIPB-TV at BSU.
Needham was general manager at the station and was instrumental in signing Ross to make the series. Needham's programs will take place at 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. in the sanctuary at Muncie Friends Church, the meeting place for the Old West End Neighborhood Association. OWENA and the church are collaborating to put on the festival, which runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The new arts festival is designed to provide fun, low cost family activities, such as chalk walk sidewalk art competition, a city-wide art exhibit and sale, and free Kindermusik class at Friends, corner of Cherry and Jackson streets. A take on an old African proverb, "It takes a village to raise a child," a cardboard box village will give children a chance to dream their future community. Appliance boxes and other large cardboard boxes, duct tape, markers and a grownup with a boxcutter will foster a creative construction free-for-all in the church atrium.
The Joy of Painting was an instructional TV show that aired internationally from 1983 to 1994 on PBS. Ross went from being a public television personality to an internet celebrity in the 21st century, becoming popular on You Tube and many other websites after his death. Ross can now be seen in 23 countries. Twitch has shown his entire series twice, attracting 28 million viewers. His popularity continues to grow.
Festival organizers hope to support local artists and strengthen the artistic community, particularly in the Old West End, and to raise funds for the historic preservation of the Friends meeting house, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is more than a century old and once housed one of the largest Quaker congregations in North America.
There will be an all-day exhibit and sale of art by local artists in Goddard Hall, a large Gothic revival room in the church. Artists can also show off their talents outside by doing sidewalk chalk art in categories such as best superhero art, best use of a pavement fault, best in the style of a classical masterpiece, best art by a family, best art by a person age 12 or under, and a People's Choice Award.
Artists guidelines and chalk art competition rules are available at the festival website, intrepidartist.com.
Awards for the show and for the sidewalk chalk art competition will be presented at the end of the day in the sanctuary.
Madjax art incubator will provide one of its painted, public pianos for display, and local artist Denise King will lead a discussion on public art at 12:30 p.m. She will lead the creation of a community mural starting at 10 a.m. and running throughout the day.
Other activities for the day include:
- Well-known local artist and painting teacher Sheila Piazza will teach a class in painting with acrylics on stretched canvas from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the East Room. Fee is $25 per person, which includes all supplies and refreshments.
- King will teach a class in painting murals, and will lead the creation of a community mural starting at 10 a.m. in the north entry hall. Free will donation.
- Muncie favorites "Married Folk" singers Matt and Deborah Miller will perform in the sanctuary at 2 p.m., to be followed immediately by the festival awards ceremony. Freewill donation.
- Children are invited to the East wing, which houses the Friends Preschool Academy, to experience a free Kindermusik class at 1 p.m. in the Art and Sky Room. Kindermusik is part of the arts enrichment program at the academy. Research has shown that literacy scores improve by an average of 32 percent in young children who take Kindermusik classes.
- Families are invited to visit the preschool academy art room in the East wing anytime to make free make and take art.
Lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the dining hall in the basement of the meeting house on a freewill donation basis. Quaker Women's Circle will prepare homemade chicken and noodles, mashed potatoes, green beans, a drink and a dessert. Baked goods will also be for sale.

Today, the oil is commonly used in perfumes and relaxing massage oils for its woody, musty scent. By sourcing Spikenard oil from Nepal, doTERRA is able to support much needed income streams for harvesters and partner distillers, particularly in the remote areas where it is harvested, as well as support needed rural community development projects through doTERRA's Co-Impact Sourcing® initiatives.

Insure the future.
Codelitt is a product incubator helping large corporations build new products with the speed, technology, and innovation of a startup.
IOT devices have created an exponential increase in the amount of data available for mining. Because of innovations such as personal fitness trackers and vehicle telematic devices, we are now able to paint a clearer picture of the past, and thus make more accurate predictions for the future. This of course creates new risks and new opportunities for security.
The next wave of insurance customers were born with smartphones in their hands. They are more informed when making large decisions, demand more value for their money, and have a general distrust of anyone trying to sell them anything. These factors have contributed to the birth of the sharing economy, and they also lead towards a self-service economy. New consumers want to know every aspect of the deal before purchasing.
Health insurance questions such as age, gender, weight, and smoker status create an incredibly vague demographic snapshot. Devices such as fitness trackers give specific, personal data points that can augment a pricing strategy. Similarly, vehicle telematics with data points such as acceleration, breaking, and speeding habits offer a more complete view of how customers drive.
Consumers need more information today than ever before. They require simplicity and the peace of mind that they're not throwing money away. Insurance sales is still a black hole for digitally native consumers, and there is a massive opportunity to simplify the education and purchasing process.
Give your contract intelligence its own brain. When juggling thousands of contracts, it's easy for some details to get lost in the shuffle. Codelitt's artificial intelligence can ingest contracts, assign metadata such as dollar amounts and renewal dates, and include this information in systems such as CRMs or supply chain management software.

Editor's Note: Cleve Heidelberg was found dead in his apartment Saturday morning March 24. He was released from prison 10 months ago after spending 47 years behind bars for a crime he always insisted he did not commit.
In a case riddled with problems and clouded by racial issues, procedural hurdles are being used to delay and deny justice for Cleve Heidelberg, said attorney Celeste Stack who assisted with the Heidelberg case and recently opened an office in Peoria.
She is working with Chicago attorney Andy Hale who resurrected the Heidelberg case after nearly five decades.
Heidelberg spent 47 years in prison before being released in May 2017. He had been sentenced to 99 to 175 years for the shooting death of Peoria County Sheriff's Deputy Ray Espinoza. The Peoria County State's Attorney's office has appealed his release and appealed the defense counsels' petition to submit new evidence that would prove innocence.
"This case is one of the worst miscarriages of justice I've ever seen. It's heartbreaking. Gives me a pit in my stomach," Stack said.
She and Hale want to investigate other wrongful conviction cases that have been adjudicated in Peoria over the years.
Peoria attorney Don Jackson, co-counsel for the Heidelberg defense, recently said he suspects there are hundreds of wrongful convictions over the years that passed through Peoria County courts.
After three decades with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, Stack said it's almost an automatic response for prosecutors to deny a petition of wrongful conviction.
"People would come to our office with the goal of a new trial and a defense of innocence," she said. "The state almost always responds 'You're lying.'"
She recalled one of her first wrongful conviction cases as a young prosecutor. The man had already been in prison for more than 12 years for raping a young girl, yet he consistently claimed his innocence. When DNA evidence became available, he petitioned for a DNA test, and Stack prevailed in allowing the test despite resistance.
She said when the test was finally authorized and she was present, watching the prisoner extend his arm for the syringe to take blood, it was an epiphany moment.
"He was so thrilled his blood was finally being taken," she said. "I got chills when I thought 'could he really be innocent?' That was the first time I started questioning."
He'd been in prison for more than a decade at that point, and the DNA test proved he was innocent. Stack started pondering how many others are wrongfully convicted.
She wrote a successful grant application that was used to establish a judicial integrity unit in Cook County. Then she supervised the unit and litigated 1,000 post-conviction petitions.
Today she's convinced every county should have access to an independent judicial integrity unit to review claims of innocence. She believes the ideal judicial integrity units are financed with both private and government funds.
"Cleve's case is a laundry list of every wrong thing and misconduct," she said. "Prosecutors must be independent from the police. Very important."
While supervising the conviction integrity unit in Cook County, she litigated constitutional violations including wrongful convictions, police misconduct, psychiatric issues and conflict of interest cases.
She has now teamed up with Andy Hale, opening an office in Peoria to handle cases involving miscarriage of justice.
"We're available to look at cases," she said.
With this Peoria office, "Andy and I are acting like a conviction integrity unit," she said, citing the media as a "powerful factor in getting wrongful conviction cases noticed and dismissed."
Stack can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
She is keynote speaker at the 57th annual Peoria ACLU banquet May 10 at the Illinois Valley Yacht Club, 5102 Galena Road. For more information go to www.ACLUpeoria.org.
