Angry memo that Macintosh's original developer sent to Apple after Steve Jobs forced him out
Business Insiders
Wed, 25 Mar 2015 00:00 UTC
The next year, he started leading a "computer appliance" project — an easy-to-use device that would sell for a mere $1,000.
It would be called the Macintosh.
And it could change the world — and make Apple a ton of money.
"It does not take much imagination to see that a portable computer will open up entire new application areas, and once again give Apple access to a totally untapped, yet ripe, market," Raskin wrote in a memo to Steve Jobs that was uncovered by Fast Company.
But as journalists Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli note in their new biography "Becoming Steve Jobs," then-CEO Michael Scott encouraged Jobs to consider working on the project after he was taken off of the team for the ill-fated Apple Lisa.
But Jobs wanted to be in charge of the Macintosh. So he started undermining Raskin, reportedly contradicting him in public.
Then Jobs lobbied Scott, saying that he should lead the Macintosh team.
Scott sided with Jobs. Frustrated, Raskin left Apple in 1982.
"But before he left he fired off a memo to his bosses that still stands as an angry summary of Steve's weaknesses," Schlender and Tetzeli report.
Here's the memo, as it appears in "Becoming Steve Jobs":
"While Mr. Jobs's stated positions on management techniques are all quite noble and worthy, in practice he is a dreadful manager ... He is a prime example of a manager who takes the credit for his optimistic schedules and then blames the workers when deadlines are not met," he wrote, adding that Steve "misses appointments ... does not give credit ... has favorites ... and doesn't keep promises."
To Schlender and Tetzeli, Jobs was right to get rid of Raskin. Jobs knew that he could help the Mac reach its full world-changing potential.
Raskin's goals, on the other hand, were too modest. So he was forced out.
"Steve never really cared if people thought he was selfish or if his elbows were a little too sharp," Schlender and Tetzeli write. "He was willing to do whatever he felt it took to achieve his goals."
In a Time Magazine article, Raskin furthered his evaluation of how Jobs did business, saying he "would have made an excellent King of France."

This kind of pathological business behaviour is seen as normal in American culture, is it not? At least it has for a long time. There always seems to be an excuse for it.

Once a powerhouse, SMU falter from NCAA penalty
By Shawn Mastrian
The MIT football program is alive and strong. The team record is 3-1-1, a winning season is guaranteed with patsy Assumption in town Saturday, and no team members have been arrested recently. With this in mind, it's time to look down on some less fortunate programs. This week, the obvious choice is Southern Methodist University.
SMU used to be a perennial football powerhouse. They produced the likes of Eric Dickerson and Craig James not so long ago. But they were naughty. They broke NCAA recruiting rules time and time again.
The Mustangs have just come off the NCAA's "death penalty", which eliminated football from their school for the last two years. They have fielded this season a team of first year players with no experience. They played Saturday against a University of Houston team which leads the nation in offense. They lost, 95-21.
Seventy-four points is a lot to lose by. Ninety-five points is a lot to have scored against you (the Cleveland Browns have allowed seven less over six games). Just imagine how badly the Mustangs would have lost by if the first stringers were not pulled at halftime by Houston.
The porous SMU defense allowed the Houston offense to move the ball 1021 yards against them. If you think about that, that's nearly two-thirds of a mile. I can barely run that far in a 60 minute time span, let alone with 11 guys trying to prevent me from doing it.
Andre Ware, Houston's first string quarterback, threw for 517 yards in the first half, on only 25 completions. If he kept that up for the entire game, he would have thrown for 1034 yards. By comparison, the Patriots have thrown for 1122 yards in their first six games.
Poor SMU. Having to face such a team after getting off the "death penalty". Almost makes you feel sorry for them. Almost.

Over the past few months, You Need To Hear This have become obsessed with the music and life of William Onyeabor. Above is an exclusive premiere of his latest video "Atomic Bomb". In 2014 we'll have a number of exciting Onyeabor projects, including a brand-new documentary. But we begin with this look at his story and our fascination with lost songwriters.
Die-hard record collectors Caribou, 2ManyDJs, Four Tet, Devandra Banhart and Damon Albarn adore him, but it's only recently that William Onyeabor, the man behind eight albums worth of exhilarating afro-beat released between 1977 and 1985, has become a name known outside of the South-Eastern Nigerian city Enugu.
A result of a five-year effort spent tracking him down by Nigerian writer Uchenna Ikonne, the last few months has seen the words William Onyeabor catapulted out of Enugu's streets (and crate-diggers moth-ridden libraries) and onto the pages of British broadsheets, culminating in the release of compilation record Who Is William Onyeabor and a subsequent William Onyeabor Experience event at Rough Trade. So who then, is William Onyeabor, and why are music fans and critics only now fascinated with an artist that hasn't put out a piece of new music in almost 30 years?
The first question, who is William Onyeabor, isn't easily answered. Even now, with reams of press littered across the internet, information remains scarce. He may have studied cinematography in Russia, he may have self-financed his own movie and he was probably a titan of the flourmill industry in his native Nigeria, but no one knows for certain. All we know is that he self-released eight albums in the late 70s. These records rarely breached obscurity outside of his hometown.
The records are magnificent. They come from a time-period situated between the departure of European imperialism and the arrival of despotic leadership, when African culture flourished in a way unlike any other. The sound of excitement, discovery, and most of all freedom, breathes beyond the wax upon which the songs were layered.
But the quality of his music is not the only reason people are talking about William Onyeabor. Recently, there's been an online infatuation with discovery of lost talents, people's stories who may have gone noticed, given worldwide publicity by one or two unlikely enthusiasts.
Onyeabor's story is not dissimilar to that of Sixto Rodriquez, the Sugarman, who became the subject of two South African fans' mission to find the 1970's songwriter from Detroit. Beloved by almost everyone situated on both sides of the Zimbabwean and South African border, Rodriguez was unaware of his status as a modern-day cultural icon until recently, despite the fact that his hits have played from the stereo at every Cape Town braai ever since At The Best went (unbeknownst to him) platinum in the country in the late 70s.
The sound that Rodriguez has resonates with every South African. To them, it is the sound of "I Wonder" and "Sugarman" that soundtracks family vacation road-trips, imprinting its sonic into the make-up of young Joburgers and Zimbos. He is another one of their all time greats and, at a time when television was banned in South Africa and few artists ever played there, they thought he was as big as Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens and Neil Young. But the audience that Rodriguez has attained since the airing of the 2012 documentary Searching For Sugarman are not South African. His music is, of course, brilliant, but having listened to him both at Glastonbury Festival this year, and every night for several months in Zimbabwe last year, surrounded by people that have been in love with him for decades, the two are separate experiences.
At Glastonbury, it was as though the audience expected Rodriguez to be a legend, despite the patronage not being privy to the cultural prerequisites that had made him such. It was almost as if, in an age where all the great rockstars will be dead soon and no one is stepping in to take their place, Rodriguez's new-found fans have substituted him as their new-age icon. The same, perhaps, is true of Onyeabor.
Modern day mystiques, like Jai Paul and Jay Electronica, are such because of the lack of information that surrounds them. It is the polar opposite of the information age, where Twitpics spell out secret studio sessions, Wikipedia tells a life story, and Reddit allows anyone to ask an artist anything. The music by both Jai and Jay is excellent but their mystique can oft wrongly magnify their brilliance.
William Onyeabor and Sixto Rodriguez go above and beyond this. Their temperament increased ten-fold by the notion that they've been around for several decades making really good music and OMG how did we not hear all about them and aren't they amazing? It is FOMO to the musical extreme.
But the truth is that neither William Onyeabor or Sixto Rodriguez are legends, at least not to us. In the communities that were infused with their music, they might have touched souls. But to the rest of us, they're just musicians with an abundance of talent and a paucity of opportunity. We should be thankful that their music has reached us in unexpected ways but refrain from forcing them into the frameworks of our music heritage.

2Chronicles 7:14 If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
What would happen if believers from all over this city came together to impact Tracy like never before? Tracy Community Church is partnering with other churches to unite for an innovative series called One Prayer. Prayers aren't empty words hurled at the sky. They're conversations—in fact, they're the most important conversations of our lives. Join with us as we find out just how much it matters when we pray.
Week Six: Boldness Hebrews 4:16 tells us that we may come boldly or confidently into the throne room of grace. Part of our prayer life consists of our ability to have direct access to God. To bring our request and our lives before him. Could it be that God intends for us to have a level of audacious faith, the kind of faith that dares to believe and ask God for the impossible as a normal way of life? In the face of doubt and fear, Jesus looked at a ruler of the synagogue and said , " Don't be afraid, just believe."

At 3pm the school bell rang and out ran a bunch of happy preppies, all filled with stories about their first day of big school ready to tell mum and dad.
We managed to catch a few of them before they headed off home and crashed on the couch after what would of been a very exhausting day of making friends and having fun.
Isabella and dad Camden
Plus More: How was your first day Isabella?
Isabella: Good
Plus More: What was your favourite part about today?
Isabella: There were lots of people playing!
Plus More: And what did you make today?
Isabelle: some hand painting (Dad: it was just a first day of school activity I think!)
Sienna and mum Aloha
Plus More: How was your first day of school Sienna?
Sienna: GOOD!!!
Plus More: And why was it a good day?
Sienna: Because the teachers were teaching me how to make things!
Plus More: And what did you make today?
Sienna: * holds up star * A star! It's a thing that says we did good at school
Trent with mum and dad, Colin and Kathleen
Plus More: How was your first day Trent?
Trent: Good
Plus More: And what did you do today?
Trent: we played, and we did some things and we made this * holds up his star award *
Plus More: And guess what that says? It says "Great work on your first day of prep".
Plus More: Did you make lots of friends today?
Trent: Yep!
And prep teacher Sarah Hermann had only good things to say about her kids!
"It was actually really exciting, a really great day. They were all so comfortable to leave their parents. The transition was great and I think it's because we've been working heaps with them in the pre-prep program so they were familiar with the routine and the teachers," says Sarah.

Earlier this month, staff at a technology company in Shanghai were surprised one morning to find that a large golden bust of Steve Jobs had appeared to watch over them as they entered the office.
According to NetEase, each morning the company's employees are required to go through the piercing gaze of Apple's founder as they approach the office punch-card machine.
The team which set the statue said that they did so in order to inspire the employees to learn from Jobs who is widely regarded as someone who always strove for perfection in his work.
Steve Jobs has acquired, just like in many other parts of the world, somewhat of a cult following in China. Following his death in 2011, Weibo exploded with tributes, quotes, videos, news, and photos. While we doubt he'll match Jobs in the Chinese conciousness, Tim Cook has himself gained somewhat of a following in China, being greeted by jubilant crowds during his recent tour of the mainland.

Here's the final section from my youtube video "Tapping Arpeggios with Pachelbel's Canon". Along with more multi-finger tapping this example features a re-ocurring 'hammer on from nowhere' sprinkled throughout each measure on several different strings. This involves striking a fresh string in a 'hammer on' fashion which should ultimately produce volume equal to the tap and pull off notes. If this technique is new to you please proceed slowly, accurately, and steadily with the beat. And as usual, practice with a metronome. As you work through the example you'll notice triad 'shapes' that each hand outlines. These shapes are the various chord inversions of each subsequent chord that is outlined (chord names are placed above there corresponding measures). Enjoy!
Tapping Arpeggios with Pachelbel's Canon (part 4)
New Joe Satriani Guitar Secrets book with CD
Satriani fans will want to check out this new version of his book 'Guitar Secrets' which has been revised to include an audio CD (recorded by yours truely and approved by Mr. Satriani) of all the examples from the book. Click the link below for a preview:
Tapping Arpeggios with Pachelbel's Canon (part 2)
Here's the guitar transcription from 'Part 2' of my youtube video "Pachelbel's Canon tapping". This eight measure tablature transcription is from 0:15 – 0:25 on the video. Here we'll explore two octave arpeggios in the tapping style along with a little string skipping. Each measure outlines it's respective chord with the exception of the last two notes which can be considered pick up notes for the following chord.
Strategy: master one measure at a time while using a metronome. Begin with the first four notes (three on the high E string and one on the D string) and set the metronome tempo slow enough to play triplets (the first and fourth notes will line up with the metronome click). This must be performed cleanly and without string noise. To help reduce inherent string noise try using a string-dampening device (hair tie) like the one I use in the video.
Next, master the seven consecutive notes on the D string with the metronome. And finally, work to connect the two sections smoothly. Continue this process for the entire exercise.
See the pdf file attachment for a tablature transcription of this section.
Until next time keep those fingers flying!

Air disasters, private and commercial aviation accidents, and fatal plane crashes occur across the country in large and small airports, heliports, mountain terrain and recreational areas. We represent the heirs and loved ones of passengers killed in crashes involving commercial airliners, helicopters, air ambulances, medevac transports, commuter airlines and private planes.
At Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger, our California aviation crash wrongful death specialists include a former Navy pilot who has special aviation skills and decades of experience trying fatal airliner, private plane and helicopter crashes.
Are Pilots Liable for Plane Crashes?
Liability refers to one's legal responsibility to a party for causing or contributing to the party's damages. For a pilot to be liable for a plane crash, he or she must have done something that became the proximate or main cause of the accident. The pilot must have been negligent in some way that ended in disaster. Any action by the pilot that does not fulfill the reasonable standards of duty and care for the circumstances may be negligence.
Critical pilot errors can include:
- Pilot incompetence or lack of training
- Improper procedure
- Loss of control in flight
- Controlled flight into terrain
- Pilot fatigue
- Missed runway/excessive landing speed
- Navigation error
Plane crashes and other aviation accidents are typically catastrophic and do not leave many passengers unscathed. Plane crashes don't happen every day, but they occur more often than many people realize. In 2015, there were 1,282 aviation accidents in the U.S., resulting in 406 deaths.
When a plane goes down, the first question is often, "Why did the accident happen?" The next question should be, "Who is liable for damages?" While pilot error is a major contributor to many plane crashes, the pilot isn't the only party that might be at fault.
Since at least the 1960s, pilot error has been the number one cause of plane crashes around the United States. Pilots can cause accidents through negligence, carelessness, recklessness, or intent to harm. If a pilot's actions or failure to act results in a harmful plane crash, survivors and family members of the deceased can file lawsuits against the pilot and other parties to pursue compensation for physical pain, emotional suffering, medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
Pilot Incompetence
It takes a great deal of training to get your commercial pilot's license, and even more to become an airline pilot. Private pilots, on the other hand, can go through light or expedited training courses to get their licenses to fly. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), for example, offers a light sport pilot license program that takes just 12 days to complete. Traditional pilot licenses can take months or years to complete.
If a pilot does not receive enough training, or is too young or inexperienced to fly the plane solo, it can result in crashes. Pilot errors such as "loss of control in flight" are most common in less experienced pilots. Incompetent pilots might not know how to react to situations such as collapsed landing gear or bad weather. The result can be fatal if the pilot panics or loses control of the aircraft. Lack of training or pilot incompetence can result in pilot liability for a crash.
Negligence or Recklessness
Even the most experienced pilots can make mistakes. Acts of negligence, such as failing to check the weather prior to taking up a private party, can end in disaster. Recklessness can describe a pilot trying to perform stunts or showing up to the helm under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Pilot carelessness can take many forms, including:
- Failing to prepare for the flight
- Failing to properly inspect and maintain the aircraft
- Failing to program autopilot
- Miscalculating fuel consumption
- Neglecting to pay attention while piloting
- Failing to communicate with crew members or air controllers
- Improperly maneuvering the aircraft
- Mismanaging the plane's technology
Any action that a "reasonable and prudent" pilot would not have done in the same circumstances could qualify as negligence, and result in pilot liability. There are things all pilots should do to reduce the risk of a crash. Failure to do these things, resulting in an accident, will almost certainly come down to pilot liability.
Part Failure
Aircraft mechanical error is the second-leading cause of plane crashes. While this won't always be the pilot's fault, it could be if the pilot is the same person in charge of the aircraft's maintenance and daily inspections. For example, if the pilot owns a private plane. If it is the pilot's duty to inspect the craft, order repairs, and take care of routine maintenance, injured parties could sue the pilot for failing to fulfill these duties if a crash ensues.
Besides the pilot, injured plane crash victims might be able to sue an airline, aircraft part manufacturer, maintenance crew, government agency, and/or a few other parties. Talk to a San Francisco aviation attorney about your right to sue.
Who Can You Sue for Pilot Error?
Many plane crashes do not stem from a single factor, but multiple factors all culminating in the accident. While a pilot may have contributed to an accident, there are likely other factors at work as well, such as equipment failure, bad weather, structural issues, air traffic controller negligence, poor plane maintenance, or safety code violations.
In any plane accident, liable parties can include the pilot, the owner of the aircraft, a manufacturing company, maintenance supplier, the federal government, and several other third parties. Anyone who shared responsibility for a plane crash can face legal action. A pilot may be at least partially liable if he or she played a role in the accident. If the pilot is an employee of a company, the company will be vicariously liable for the actions of the pilot.
California is a comparative negligence state, meaning the courts can assign percentages of fault to more than one defendant in a personal injury or wrongful death claim. Plane crashes are complex events that typically don't result from a single action or one entity's fault. Since the circumstances of all aviation accidents are unique, they require experienced attorneys to protect the rights of victims and fight for maximum compensation.
Need A Wrongful Death Lawyer In California?
Fatal collisions, whether of small planes, commercial jetliners, commuter planes or helicopters, may occur for many reasons: weather, navigation errors, pilot error, improper maintenance, contaminated fuel, mechanical or product flaws and even air traffic controller negligence. Regardless of the reason for the disaster, our aviation litigation team has represented survivors in a host of situations.
Our California wrongful death aviation crash lawyers offer our clients a proven track record of success in obtaining compensation for those left behind when an aviation crash takes the life of a loved one. Our wrongful death litigation team has experience in almost every aspect of liability, including defective replacement parts, pilot negligence, air traffic controller error, negligent maintenance, failure to follow safety procedures, and even crashes caused by defective maps, counterfeit replacement parts and fuel contamination.
Our aviation wrongful death litigators have experience working hand in hand with government investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) as well as with local and state investigators. Because government-based investigations can take years, we often commission an independent investigation on behalf of our clients as soon as possible after a crash, and we move swiftly to identify potentially liable parties.

Examples Of Our Success In Aviation Cases
Private Plane Crash — $3 Million Wrongful Death Settlement
Our team obtained a $3 million settlement on behalf of the widow and two surviving children of a 45-year-old missionary who died in a plane crash in Mexico. While the man was traveling on a missionary relief effort, the cam shaft gear broke in the plane that the he was piloting. The Walkup wrongful death litigators successfully brought a wrongful death claim against the manufacturers of the engine, demonstrating that it contained both design and manufacturing flaws.
Commercial Air Crash — $2 Million Wrongful Death Settlement
Our airline wrongful death litigation team obtained a settlement in excess of $2 million on behalf of the grandparents of a 7-year-old child who died on Alaska Airlines Flight 261 when the plane crashed en route from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to San Francisco. Our wrongful death lawyers, working in conjunction with attorneys for other plaintiffs in the case, proved that Alaska Airlines did not perform required maintenance and overlooked signs of potential problems, thereby assuming responsibility for the deaths.
Air Ambulance Crash — Seven-Figure Confidential Settlement
Our aviation team of wrongful death lawyers concluded a federal court wrongful death case on behalf of the survivors of a 40-year-old mother and her 1-year-old daughter who died 45 minutes after boarding a Cessna King Air ambulance transporting the child to a regional medical center. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff, killing all passengers and crew members. Walkup's aviation lawyers argued that the pilot was not properly trained to fly the aircraft because he had only three hours of nighttime training.
Further, they argued that he had selected a dangerous departure route from the rural airport and, as a result, became spatially disoriented and flew the plane into the ground. The defense argued that the pilot was properly trained and the departure route was approved by the Federal Aviation Administration. Our wrongful death clients included the deceased mother's heirs, including her siblings and mother. The case was concluded by way of a mediated settlement in a confidential seven-figure amount.

Today's Cozy Read is a mystery by K.M. Morgan called The Deadly Real Estate Affair. All of Morgan's Daisy McDare Cozy Creek Mystery books begin with "The Deadly" and end with "Affair" and there are at least 8 of them to date although this is the first I've read. I couldn't find any information as to whether K.M. Morgan is male or female but I suspect KM is the latter. Perhaps I'm stereotyping but without pictures or a definite fact (like a pronoun) the author is left open to that.
Daisy McDare lives in Cozy Creek, British Columbia, Canada within a day's travel from the better-known Vancouver. Daisy is an interior decorator who, as is pointed out several times in this story, always has bodies popping up around her. Dead bodies.
This story is not only cozy but very lightweight. If you are a fan of more substantial mystery stories (like Brother Cadfael, Thomas Chaloner, even Mrs. Jeffries or The Cat Who series), this book will not be for you. Daisy loves cupcakes, loves her work, and loves that she seems to have found a boyfriend, Gavin, who is willing to compromise and put her own needs ahead of his own likes and dislikes at least some of the time. Her best friend Samantha Johnson owns a bakery called the Sweet Tooth, the "premier dessert destination in Cozy Creek". Granny Annie seems to work there although she's described as being retired but she always seems to be there and moves back and forth to and from the kitchen as if she belongs. Two days before the prologue, Daisy begins work decorating the model home for Majestic Estates, being built by Stinson & Sons Construction.
When Daisy arrives, she is witness to a huge verbal knock-down drag-out fight between Mr. Stinson and a family friend of Daisy's, foreman Patrick Potter. Potter is fired, and after Daisy leaves her car and speaks briefly with Potter, she enters the sales office for Majestic Estates only to witness angry remarks against Stinson by one of his sons and the receptionist, followed by several more angry fights involving Mr. Stinson and family members throughout the day. He certainly knew how to make enemies. The next day, he was found dead on the construction site, strangled, and, although there is no limit to people with motives, Patrick Potter is the prime suspect.
This book is not my cup of tea. I found many of the discussions laborious and repetitive and there were lots of things that bothered me. There was so much about Daisy's relationship with Gavin and yet the book is more than half over before we're told that he's a P.I. Daisy takes on a decorating job but doesn't ask about her budget. Then she spends most of a day "decorating" the model home and yet there's no evidence that any furniture has been delivered or painters hired to come in, only that she had dropped off a few accessories the afternoon before — things that would fit into her car.

Fintech will be high on the agenda at this year's World Economic Forum jamboree in Davos, as senior bankers take to the stage to discuss the digital convulsion hitting their industry, and smaller startups stalk the halls.
One area that will be profoundly altered by the rapidly changing technological landscape is financial services. In a session on the fintech revolution, Lloyds of London CEO Inga Beale, ING chief Ralph Hamers, Swift boss Gottfried Leibbrandt and Visa president Ryan McInerney will talk about how new technologies and evolving customer expectations are reshaping the ecosystem.
Noticeably absent from the panel are any of the new breed of fintech entrants that pose both a threat and opportunity to the speakers' businesses. PayPal's Dan Schulman does make it – alongside John Cryan, co-CEO of Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley's James Gorman – onto a panel discussing how digitisation, data privacy and systemic connectedness are transforming finance.
Meanwhile, Taavet Hinrikus, the CEO of TransferWise, which has loudly set itself against the establishment banks, makes it onto the stage as part of a discussion on the "unicorn effect". TransferWise was one of three fintech firms, along with Ripple and iZettle, to be named a WEF "technology pioneer" in 2015.
Ripple's co-founder Chris Larsen will be in Davos too, with the distributed ledger, bitcoin and its rivals likely a topic for discussion thanks to a talk from Brian Forde, director, digital currency at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Laboratory.

Dr. Cynthia Bambad
CEO of Minerva Biotechnologies
Nanotechnology allowed us to "see" how a molecule, which is aberrantly expressed in cancers, works
The transmembrane protein MUC1 has been a target of interest to the pharmaceutical industry for the past 30 years because it is aberrantly expressed on over 75% of solid tumor cancers. To date, all therapeutics that were designed to inhibit the growth of MUC1 positive tumors have failed, when tested in humans.
At Minerva we developed a nanoparticle technology that allowed us to "see" in real-time how MUC1 is transformed from its usual quiescent state, to a powerful growth factor receptor that drives cancer growth and metastasis. We also used the same nanoparticle technology to screen small molecule libraries for anti-cancer activity against MUC1 positive cancers.
The key to treating solid tumor cancers is being able to develop agents that bind to the cancerous cells but not the normal cells. These nano-powered insights were critical to our development of antibodies that only recognize the tumor-associated form of MUC1. Because these antibodies can discriminate between normal MUC1 and cancerous MUC1, they can be incorporated into several different therapeutic modalities including CAR T, BiTEs, ADCs and bispecific antibodies for the treatment of cancer. Minerva's first therapeutic to be tested in humans will be our CAR T aka cancer immunotherapy for solid tumors, which is scheduled to begin in Q3 2018 and will be performed with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
Dr. Cynthia Bamdad is CEO of Minerva Biotechnologies. Dr. Bamdad holds a BS in Physics and a PhD in Biophysics from Harvard University. While a PhD student, Bamdad invented the first electronic DNA chip, which formed the cornerstone of a startup (now GenMark) that sold within two years to Motorola for $300MM. Bamdad's invention is now an FDA-approved medical device. Dr. Bamdad was on the Board of Directors of Pharmacyclics and was critical to the turnaround strategy that brought it from $15MM valuation to $21B sellout to AbbVie. At Minerva, Dr. Bamdad discovered that early stem cells grow by the same mechanism as 75% of all cancers; she discovered how stem cells limit self-replication and how cancers override this natural shut-off switch. Minerva has developed a CAR T for solid tumors that is scheduled for human trials in Q3 2018. Bamdad is inventor on over 150 patents and pending applications.

Love love love this dress. It was the 3rd one I tried, and I knew it was the one. The lace was gorgeous, and the cummerbund made it very unique. If there is one thing you should know, it's this: comfort is of utmost importance to me. This dress is very comfortable, and not too heavy.
The dress had size A cups sewn in, helped me keep the dress up. But these could be removed easily. The dress was shortened at the bottom a little bit. I'm 5' 7.5" and I wore Toms. The neckline was also brought in so that it would lay nicely. Small hooks were added to allow for an American Bustle.
The dress was dry cleaned after the wedding and is as ready as ever to be worn again for someone's "Best Day Ever"

Genesis, Home and Southern are among 12 housing associations that have become partners and sponsors of a new group aimed at helping registered social landlords remain viable social businesses in a challenging policy environment. The new Housing Plus Academy has been launched by the National Communities Resource Centre and the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
The academy has come out of a successful knowledge exchange programme run by LSE Housing and Communities led by Professor Anne Power. The programme, Housing Plus, was funded by the Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF) and attracted more than 500 participants to knowledge sharing events covering themes including: welfare reform, work and skills, energy saving, community resilience, private renting alternatives, the future of social housing, and the value of mixed communities in expensive neighbourhoods.
Joseph Rowntree Foundation is among the group's partners and sponsors and is supporting efforts to include small, community based organisations and vulnerable minorities. The initiative is also backed by the National Housing Federation and the Chartered Institute of Housing, along with a number of smaller housing associations.
Professor Anne Power of LSE Housing and Communities said: "Housing Plus seems to have real purchase because housing associations are driven by the urgent need to retain their business viability while at the same time depending on tenants coping and paying their way. They have a strong ethical purpose, and are the most significant organisations within low income communities, alongside schools.
Partners and sponsors of the Housing Plus Academy are: Poplar HARCA, PlaceShapers, Affinity Sutton, Circle, Curo, Genesis, Home, Incommunities, L&Q, Riverside, Southern and Bolton at Home. Additional supporters include Amicus Horizon, Orbit, Octavia, Gentoo and Arawak Walton.

We like enterprise plans that present quite a lot of data in as few words as attainable. Even in the event that they do take into account writing a enterprise plan, they are usually overwhelmed or confused by the planning process and by no means understand the value of this important doc. The One Page Plan means that you can prepare a summarised overview of the present state of affairs and assists you to implement the correct solutions on the proper time to achieve your imaginative and prescient / targets. Reference class forecasting has been developed to reduce the dangers of cost overruns and revenue shortfalls and thus generate extra correct business plans. Alternatively, they might require every celebration receiving the business plan to signal a contract accepting special clauses and conditions. Every business that applies for a Virgin StartUp Loan is required to complete the Virgin StartUp enterprise plan.
In the free software and open supply business model, commerce secrets and techniques, copyright and patents can no longer be used as efficient locking mechanisms to offer sustainable advantages to a specific business and subsequently a secret business plan is less relevant in these models.
To come up with winning small enterprise ideas, you'll want to create a imaginative and prescient, leverage your strengths, and determine what the market needs. If you want your company to succeed, then all staff should understand the enterprise plan's dynamics. There are example plans, funds plans, advertising and marketing plans and guides to beginning a enterprise.
After using it for a couple of days, I can confidently say that it is an extremely useful app to reference when adopting the thought of a enterprise plan in any respect. A business plans handbook is a compilation of actual business plans developed by small companies all through North America.
In existence are online small enterprise workshop methods for creating enterprise concepts, beginning new ventures and enhancing present small businesses for entrepreneurs. An inner operational plan is an in depth plan describing planning details that are wanted by management but might not be of interest to external stakeholders. If you are all the time looking for an excellent enterprise plan app If you're like me, always looking out the app retailer for an honest business app, that is the app for you. Writing a enterprise plan is among the most rewarding things you can do when you're starting up in business. Then draft a business plan utilizing the free sources like Microsoft template and lots of more out there out there – this draft initially should include what you've carried out that makes you certain this will work. There is nothing unsuitable with utilizing your plan to get back on observe or to remain there.

You Do Uterus: Political representation of women must be more than images
Last week, Democratic — and notably female — lawmakers, including Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) and other members of the Democratic Women's Working Group, rolled out the Title IX Protection Act. As its name suggests, the bill would codify Title IX guidelines from the presidential administrations of Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton into law. The need for this bill emerges from Education Secretary Betsy DeVos' decision to roll back federal policy giving survivors of campus sexual assault additional rights and protections, which DeVos announced last month.
The issue of campus sexual assault affects male and female students alike, and yet, justifiably, it is still regarded as a women's rights issue. A 2015 survey by the Association of American Universities found that one in four university women experiences sexual assault. On top of this, gendered perceptions of whether or not a woman is trustworthy — her sexual history, what she was wearing when she was assaulted — tend to skew the direction of proceedings, either with law enforcement or university administrators, against female survivors.
DeVos, who has donated millions to Republican candidates and organizations promoting charter schools in recent years, is one of the select few women in President Donald Trump's predominantly white, male, Goldman Sachs-cozy cabinet. Led by a woman, the political assault on collegiate women and survivors runs in sharp contrast with the broad narrative that more women in politics and leadership roles inherently equates to feminism.
And yet, the introduction of the Title IX Protection Act, which would reinstate the preponderance of evidence guideline — a policy that lowers the standard of evidence to find someone guilty of sexual assault, and one that DeVos announced she intends to repeal — offers another perspective. Without a doubt, identity-based representation matters so that lawmakers understand their constituents' experiences. But we need more than just women in office. We need women in office who will work to expand the opportunities of other women, be it through unconditionally supporting their human right to bodily autonomy or fighting pay discrimination and workplace sexual harassment.
Emily's List, a grassroots organization working to elect pro-choice Democratic women across the country, has received criticism from Republicans and centrists alike for being non-inclusive. But what would be said of the organization if it supported women who believe the state should be able to force other women to give birth?
When Rep. Karen Handel (R-GA), who has expressed support for criminalizing abortion, won the state's special election in July, Donald Trump Jr. took to Twitter and asked, "Still waiting for the glass ceiling stories, or do conservatives not get them?"
Writer Alyssa Hertzig tweeted back, "Sorry. It's just kind of hard to get excited about a woman who wants to gleefully rip health care access away from other women."
Indeed, perhaps the biased, internet social justice warriors — with their outrageous double standards for conservative and liberal women — would write stories about conservative women shattering glass ceilings, if only they didn't have their hands full writing stories about conservative women shattering other things — you know, like women's access to crucial women's health services. To conclusively answer Trump Jr.'s question, perhaps the left wing's imagined "war on [conservative] women" will abate when conservative women end their war on other women's bodily autonomy?
Of course, none of this is to say that political polarization and lack of dialogue and understanding are not real problems — they are. At a time of increasing calls for sexual, racial, ethnic and economic diversity, many are also demanding ideological diversity. It may comfort those on the center right and left, perhaps even make them feel like better people, to surround themselves with different ideas, but many of them — that poor people ought to die because they can't afford health care, that a man of color ought to spend his life behind bars for owning marijuana, that a 12-year-old rape victim ought to become an unwilling mother — aren't just ideas for marginalized people. As policies, these ideas have lived and deeply detrimental consequences.
Specific to DeVos and Title IX, the freshly romanticized "listen to the other side" mantra may have laid the groundwork for the education secretary's equivalence of the accuser and the accused, a particularly tone-deaf suggestion at a time when crimes of sexual assault and rape result in the lowest rate of convictions, and some 63 percent of sexual assaults go unreported. Her rollback of Obama-era guidelines will negate the preponderance of evidence standard among other guidelines to protect survivors, which existed to compensate for how many survivors are not able to report their experiences immediately, or present any evidence beyond their accounts of what happened. Her ideas may be "ideologically diverse" in a country where most decent people respect the rights and dignities of rape victims. But to what extent should ideological diversity be the priority, when victims are forced to exist in a system wherein their sexual abusers roam the streets free?
What we as intersectional feminists need to be fighting for is more than ideological diversity, more than hollow representation. We need people who not only look like us, but will also fight for us.

Tracey Knows: The Beauty And Skincare Edition
My friend Tracey is one of those people who always finds the coolest stuff at chain stores (Last time I saw her she was wearing this a-mazing gray fuzzy coat from Madewell that I immediately wished I owned. #Jealous) and she knows all the best skincare and makeup brands, from cult lines to drugstore. Her skin is clear, glow-y and gorgeous - on and off social media - btw.
That's why I begged her to share some of her favs with us.
Here are some of her go-to's for great looking skin (Stay tuned for more beauty and style recommendations from Tracey coming soon!):
RMS Beauty
Makeup Artist Rose-Marie Swift's line of raw, food grade, organic cosmetics (Think coconut oil, jojoba oil, propolis and mineral pigments.) is beyond fabulous. I truly own everything from this line. All of the products, from concealer to lip shine to powder and mascara, are worth buying and using...often. I use something from RMS Beauty every day and haven't been disappointed by any of their products.
True story...I was over the moon, a few weeks back, when i found out that Rose-Marie Swift was visiting Follain (a Boston shop that sells RMS). I was offered a spot for a one on one consultation, but had another important appointment, so I couldn't make it. I was so disappointed that I pouted like a spoiled child for the entire day.
Top Picks
"Un" Cover-Up is a concealer/light foundation that blurs redness and masks imperfections while giving the skin a radiant appearance. When you apply the "un" cover-up to your face, it actually feels like it belongs there...like it becomes a part of your skin and improves the quality. It provides a liveliness that I do not find with other under eye concealers.
Living Luminizer is a genius product and has been featured in too many magazines to count. Quite simply, it gives a sheer, luminous glow that makes the skin look youthful and vibrant. It is like no other highlighting product I have ever tried and I use it every day...really...every day.
Also, they use no animal testing. Order directly from RMS and they usually ship the next day.
Koh Gen Do
Almost 30 years ago, Koh Gen Do of Japan began developing products comprised of natural ingredients derived from Japanese and Chinese herbs. I've used several items in this line and these are the three that I keep in my daily rotation:
Maifanshi Moisture Foundation is a mineral cream foundation that delivers a high definition, luminous coverage that reveals your own skin while masking its flaws. A little goes a long way, so though it is pricey, it is worth it. If you call them, they will send samples of a couple of colors to try.
Oriental Plants Lotion is a botanically based hydrating liquid. It can be used as a base layer after cleansing, as a mask or even as a "pick me up" spritz during the day. I decant mine into a spray bottle and layer it between other products when I want extra moisture. It's not essential to a skincare routine but helps prepare the skin for other products.
Spa Cleansing Water removes even heavy duty mascara and foundation easily and without irritation. Everyone's talking about cleansing water these days and this one, infused with skin nurturing herbs, is at the top of my list. It's gentile yet effective and can be purchased in a variety of sizes at Koh Gen Do or Sephora.
They use no animal testing and customer service has been great when i've dealt with them.
Sunday Riley
Sunday Riley launched her line in 2009 and it quickly became a favorite in the fashion world. The products are a marriage of high tech engineering with botanically based ingredients. I have only used a couple of their products but was impressed with the results:
Start Over Active Eye Cream is brilliant. I recently ran out and thought I could live without it since I don't normally use eye cream. I was wrong! This light cream de-puffs, hydrates and gives a youthful, vibrant look to the whole eye area. I don't use it everyday but its a must when I haven't had enough sleep, have had too much wine, during allergy season or when I look a little blah (We all know what that's like.). Best news of all is that I hear the line will soon be introduced at the GC Sephora.
[Yes, Tracey! So excited. I saw a few Sunday Riley products at Sephora Garden City last week. Got my eye on the Luna Sleeping Night Oil.
Can't Wait To Try This!
More About Tracey
Name: Tracey Keough Park
Waypoints: North Providence, Cambridge, Somerville, Providence, Cranston
Happy Things: Coffee, Cooking, Chocolate, Dogs, the Ocean, Wine
UnhappyThings: Bad Driving, Illogical Thinking, Mispronunciation, Being Out Of Wine Or Chocolate
Goals for the Future: Living long enough to dress in head to toe leopard with a turban and red lipstick. Yup.

By tim rolston/iol.co.za:
It is odd how things happen. I have been traipsing about the mountains of the Cape for more years than I care to remember and possibly more than I should admit to, and I have always carried a desire to see red disas. They are, after all, the official flower of the province and pretty as a picture to boot, but they are not exactly common. I once saw them in profusion while floating down a private and remote section of the Oliphants River many moons ago on an extreme kloofing trip, but they have eluded me since, despite the occasional foray with the express intention of locating them in flower.
But last week I was fortunate once more to come across these incredible blooms in some degree of abundance and I suppose, as with many things, it is mostly a case of being in the right place at the right time.
The weather had been rather hot and the south-easter more than a little troublesome so I was having some difficulty thinking of a place to go. Eventually I decided to try a route up Myburgh's Waterfall Ravine, as my guide book promised it would be sheltered from the wind and the bright sun for most of the ascent. I had never walked on that part of the mountain before.
Myburgh's is a steep wooded gulley heading up towards Judas Peak above Hout Bay, cutting up through the seemingly impenetrable massif that borders the northern boundary of the valley in an impressive rock cliff.
I set out early but it was already hot on a trail I knew would eventually take me some 700m above sea level, a more than reasonable target in high summer. What a blessing when I almost immediately disappeared into thick, green forest that provided cool and shade.
The gorge was an oasis of green, the rocks underfoot covered in still slightly damp moss, although the river bed was mostly devoid of water save for the occasional trapped puddle. Overhead the lush vegetation provided the kind of sparkling and dappled light that enthrals me, softening the hard edges of reality and bathing everything in delicate emerald tones.
The forest also buffered the sounds of the outside world so much I could no longer hear the traffic noise from Constantia Nek or the relentless hammering of construction projects in the valley below, only the soft crunch of leaves and twigs under foot and the incessant cry of a rock kestrel busy in the clear blue skies high above .
The ravine narrowed severely near the top and at one point I was beginning to wonder if I would be able to escape it, as sheer rock walls on either side pressed closer. Near the summit, as the sun began to break through the thinning canopy, there they were, a cluster of bright red disas and I was totally elated to see them in relative profusion.
It is one of the things I have learned from my walks: you can rarely predict what you will find but if you make the effort and simply head out with a willing heart, nature will generally reward you. The red disa (Disa uniflora) flowers from January through to March and loves damp seeps on the edges of steep waterways; there are apparently some 100 species of disa in the fynbos so it would seem I have a lot of walking to do to see the rest of them.
Eventually I clambered out of the ravine and into the harsh sunshine of the mountain top, following a faint trail to join up with the Twelve Apostles path and my route home via Llandudno Ravine. The sea was pretty as a picture but the descent was long and tiring in the heat of the day and the trail back to the car seemed to last longer than I would have liked.
As I walked, a mongoose tripped along in front of me for a while and I passed a cluster of black and white spotted feathers where some creature had obviously dined on a guineafowl in the recent past. By the time I reached the car I was more than a little tired, but I had finally found my disas and that was enough to make the effort worthwhile.

If you are missing a tooth or multiple teeth in a row, one option available to restore your smile is a dental bridge. Dental bridges literally bridge the gap in your smile, providing you with a functional, beautiful solution to the gap in your smile. Why are dental bridges a popular restorative option? Should you consider a dental bridge? Let's learn more about this treatment option.
Dental bridges consist of two major parts: the abutments and the pontics. Abutments are the anchor teeth on either side of the gap, to which are attached false teeth to fill the gap. These false teeth are called pontics, and they are held in place by crowns which fit over the top of the abutment teeth. The pontics are typically porcelain, gold, alloys, or a combination of such materials. Dental bridges not only improve your smile's appearance, but also support your other teeth while chewing, speaking, and can help maintain a more balanced form for your mouth.
Dental bridges are a popular option among many patients in need of restorative care for their smile. Bridges are beautiful, strong, and can be more functional than partial dentures. Visit with our dentists about dental bridges during your next appointment. We are eager to help you reach the goals you have for your smile. Call 575-522-7320 today if you have questions. Our entire team looks forward to meeting you!

A review of the steps taken by Government during the past year to reduce the regulatory burden on business by a total of £10 billion over the course of this Parliament has been published by the independent Regulatory Policy Committee.
The review covered actions taken by more than 80 independent regulators in the UK and found that the system of measurement of the cost of regulation does not reflect the true effect on business and society.
The introduction of the National Living Wage and the increase in National Minimum Wage rates, which were two of the largest regulatory costs to business that together cost around £1.5 billion over the past year, were not included in the Government's Business Impact Target.

While AWS offers its scalable and cost-effective KVS service to end users, it has also established the AWS Partner Network (APN) program. The program is designed to help customers identify companies with ML competency and expertise to support integration and deployment of various solutions. The designation recognizes members who provide solutions that help organizations solve their data challenges and enhance machine learning applications. Both Agent Vi and Veritone are APN partners.
According to John Ward, VP of Marketing at Veritone, a company must first meet three requirements to become an APN partner. First, it must have more than four AWS customer references regarding completed ML projects. The references must be for projects that started within the past 12 months and are actually in the production stage. Second, its products or solution must be available in three or more AWS regions. Third, there must be a reference for an ML case that is optimized for security, reliability, performance, cost optimization and operational excellence.
innoVi, Agent Vi's cloud-based video analytics software as a service (SaaS), is implemented by deep learning technology and other advanced algorithms that enable detection accuracy. Able to distinguish between people, vehicles and static objects, innoVi can not only detect security incidents in real time but also perform analysis that transforms security cameras into intelligent devices, uncovering previously unavailable information.
Veritone has developed aiWARE, an AI operating system that leverages AI-based cognitive computing, including facial recognition, transcription, geolocation and sentiment detection to analyze unstructured audio and video data, such as TV broadcasts and surveillance footage.
In a press release, Chad Steelberg, Chairman and CEO of Veritone said, "Institutions and organizations recognize the necessity of analyzing unstructured data at scale in near real-time. aiWARE provides them a way to unlock this data, accessing deep analytics and providing business insights like never before. Our collaboration with Amazon Web Services allows customers to deploy our platform in the cloud within minutes, giving them the ability to harness AI to make decisions with more confidence."
