Diagnostic Imaging Services
Diagnostic Imaging uses specialized equipment to produce images of the inside of the body for the diagnosis and treatment of injury, disease, and medical conditions. These services give health care providers important information to make decisions about your care and treatment.
Diagnostic Imaging services are provided on an inpatient, outpatient and emergency basis and include examinations such as:
- general radiography (X-rays, bone mineral densitometry, and GI procedures);
- ultrasounds;
- echocardiography;
- magnetic resonance imaging (MRI);
- computed tomography (CT or CAT Scan);
- mammograms; and
- nuclear medicine.
Will I need a referral?
You must have a requisition from a physician or nurse practitioner to receive diagnostic imaging services.
You do not require a physician referral for breast screening (mammogram).
How will I get the results of my examination?
Diagnostic Imaging Services will send a report to the ordering physician, and if requested, to another doctor or specialist involved in your care. Contact your physician's office to obtain results.
If you've had a mammogram for Breast Cancer Screening, you will receive a letter with your results. Your physician will also be sent a report with your screening results.
How long will I have to wait to receive diagnostic imaging services?
Wait times for diagnostic imaging services are measured from the time the appointment is booked to the date when the examination is performed. Learn more about wait times for an ultrasound, CT scan and MRI scan.
What is general radiography?
General radiography, commonly referred to as X-ray, is a diagnostic tool used to create images of the body's internal structures. These images are used to detect abnormalities in bones, lungs and other internal organs.
Other general radiography services include Bone Mineral Densitometry (BMD) and GI procedures, such as barium swallow, barium enema [PDF | 98 KB], upper GI, and small bowel follow through. View the patient preparation instructions for general radiography.
General radiography services are offered at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Prince County Hospital, Souris Hospital, Kings County Memorial Hospital, Community Hospital O'Leary and Western Hospital.
What is an ultrasound?
Ultrasound is used to examine blood flow and the function of moving organs such as your heart, liver and kidneys. It can also be used to perform needle biopsies and to assess the development of an unborn baby (fetus).
Learn more about having a:
- ultrasound [PDF | 86 KB];
- prenatal ultrasound at Queen Elizabeth Hospital [PDF | 116 KB];
- prenatal ultrasound at Prince County Hospital [PDF | 92 KB]; and
- transrectal ultrasound biopsy [PDF | 107 KB].
View the patient preparation instructions for ultrasound.
If you wish to know the sex of your baby during your second or third trimester ultrasound, please read and sign the Routine Obstetrical Ultrasound Disclosure/Consent Statement [PDF | 55 KB] and bring it with you to your appointment.
What is echocardiography?
Echocardiography, or echo, is a painless test that uses ultrasound waves to create moving pictures of the heart. The pictures can show the size, shape and movement of the heart's valves and chambers, as well as the flow of blood through the heart. This test can also help discover blood clots in the heart, fluid in the sac around the heart, problems with the aorta, as well as, heart defects in infants and children.
There are no special preparations required.
Echocardiograms are performed at Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Prince County Hospital.
What is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)?
MRI imaging is a safe, efficient, non-invasive way to examine your internal organs in great detail and from a number of angles. The magnetic scan is used to identify tumours, strokes, degenerative diseases, inflammation, infection and other abnormalities.
Learn more about having an MRI exam [PDF | 133 KB] at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. View the patient preparation instructions for MRI.
What is a computed tomography (CT) scan?
CT scan, or CAT scan is used to capture clear images of internal sections of your body from different angles. It presents a cross-sectional image of internal tissue and organs. Depending on the procedure, an injection of contrast (dye) may be used to highlight certain internal structures. Learn more about having a CT Scan [PDF | 109 KB] and patient preparation instructions.
CT scans are offered at Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Prince County Hospital.
What is a mammogram?
A mammogram is an x-ray of the breast that is used to detect cancer. Regular screening can detect breast cancer at an early stage when women have no signs or symptoms. A screening mammogram is recommended for women aged 40-75. Learn more about breast cancer screening.
Mammograms are offered at Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Prince County Hospital.
What is Nuclear Medicine?
Nuclear Medicine involves the use of small amounts of radioactive material to help diagnose and treat a variety of diseases. Once administered, gamma cameras trace the flow of the substance which allows for the detection of abnormalities early in the progression of a disease. Nuclear Medicine procedures include bone scans, HIDA scans and Meckel's scans. Learn more about having a Nuclear Medicine exam [PDF | 74 KB] and patient preparation instructions.
Nuclear medicine exams are offered at Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
How does diagnostic imaging collect, store and share information?
Diagnostic Imaging uses Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) technology. This digital system means that authorized health care providers across the province can access digital images and reports at anytime of the day. Radiology Information System (RIS) is also used to manage all diagnostic imaging-related patient information. For example, this allows an x-ray taken at one hospital to be interpreted by a radiologist at another hospital. Through these technologies, patients benefit from more accurate and timely diagnosis, faster treatments and reduced wait times.

This amateur racing enthusiast served in the Great War and began his career on motor cycles before switching to four-wheel competition. In the late forties Bill was a front-runner with a 500 cc Cooper-JAP in the extremely competitive Formula 3 class. As well as wins at home, he took a prestigious Continental victory at Brussels and placed second at Zandvoort in 1949. In 1951 his Cooper - now with an 1100 cc engine - led the GP des Frontieres at Chimay before the engine seized, but he did take a third place at Goodwood in the Lavant Cup, then a five-lap sprint race. His business dealings as both civil engineer and fruit farmer no doubt helped finance his Aston-Butterworth Formula 2 single-seaters which he ran with Robin Montgomerie-Charrington. Unfortunately, these small and beautifully bodied machines saw little success, being constantly afflicted by fuel system problems. Aston sensibly withdrew from the giddy heights of the Grand Prix world after this unsuccessful foray, but continued to enjoy racing at club events. In the late fifties he raced a Jaguar D-Type and Aston Martin DBR1, often winning his class. Even when he was well past sixty years of age, Bill continued to race (and win) with a Mini and the ex-Equipe Endeavour Jaguar 3.8 saloon.

The night before the Colbert super PAC revealed donations of more than $1 million, Stephen Colbert appeared to be sending a desperate message to me.
In the middle of his show Jan. 30, Colbert swerved from a comedic riff on Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich and said this:
"We all endorse things we don't know about. Like I have no idea how my face got on every package of Stephen Colbert's Horsey Hoofsicles."
How in the world did Colbert's comedy writers come up with something so weird and random as Horsey Hoofsicles? Unless, it was not random at all. Could Stephen be sending me a message? Was he flattered by the caricature I drew of him after his rally with Herman Cain in Charleston, S.C.? Or, was it something else – our chance encounter in Charleston, perhaps?
Late on the night of the second Republican debate in South Carolina, I was checking in at Charleston's historic Mills House Hotel. As I approached the front desk, I noticed a man in a dark blue suit and slicked-back hair, a familiar face from TV. It was Stephen Colbert. We exchanged glances, but no words. Was that where I went wrong? Yes, I'm sure he was dying for an autograph, but I was tired, eager to get to my room. And that needy look in his eyes was just a little unseemly. Still, I should have taken the time and given him the attention he clearly desired.
After all, Colbert is all about getting attention. His fake campaigns, his publicity stunts, even his vanity super PAC – everything the guy does is a not-so-silent scream for recognition. I should have given him a signature on a napkin, or maybe a quick sketch. Or at least a simple "howdy."
So, Stephen, I want you to know everything is cool between us. There's no need for this indirect pleading. Horsey Hoofsicles? Come on, you're above that. In fact, you're way above that. You are so good at what you do that we political satirists who continue using more traditional methods seem hopelessly archaic. Political cartoons are about as current as cave drawings when put up against the flash and glitz of the "Colbert Report."
Yet, though you are putting me and all my colleagues out of work, I bear you no grudge. So, if you still want that autograph – or a caricature, or a freaking mint on your pillow – just give me a call. In the meantime, enjoy those hoofsicles.
Colbert, the best fake candidate

Q: If I'm going to start a new business, should I incorporate?
A: There are a number of different types of entities to choose from when setting up a business. Corporations are a very popular choice, but not the only one. Limited liability companies, limited partnerships, sole proprietorships are just a few of the other choices. Deciding which is right for your business requires analysis of the liability protections and tax treatment you want, the employee benefits you will offer, the types of owners you'll have, your business practices and a host of other considerations. It's not a simple question and one you'll probably need legal advice to answer properly.
Q: Is it appropriate to structure business transactions using preprinted forms?
A: It depends on what type of transaction it is. Certainly major contracts like loan agreements, merger agreements, employment agreements for key employees, exclusive distribution or licensing agreements should be tailored by your attorney to fit each individual transaction. Simpler transactions involving purchase orders or invoices can be done with preprinted forms, but you should know what terms are appropriate for your business before selecting a form or agreeing to be bound by a customer's or supplier's form agreement.
Q: What is the difference between a C corporation and an S corporation?
A: The difference lies primarily in the way they are taxed. Corporations are created under state law. Pennsylvania recognizes many types, but the business corporation is the most common. For state law purposes all business corporations are basically the same. But business corporations can elect to be taxed under two different systems. Essentially C corporations pay income on their net earnings. If they distribute excess profits to shareholders as dividends, those dividends are also taxed to the shareholder. Conversely, S corporations usually do not pay income tax on their earnings. Instead, their shareholders report the earnings as part of their income and pay tax on it themselves. This entitles them to withdraw money from the S corporation on a tax free basis, subject to certain limitations. Not every corporation can qualify to be an S corporation and some that can are better off being C corporations. Careful analysis with your tax attorney and accountant will help you decide which is best for your business.
Q: Do limited liability companies offer the same protections as a corporation?
A: Generally yes. The Pennsylvania law creating limited liability companies borrowed heavily from Pennsylvania's corporate laws when it came to liability protection. As such, both entities provide the same basic liability protections to their members and shareholders.
Q: Is it possible to merge my business with another business without incurring significant tax?
A: Much depends on the type of businesses involved in the merger. Where two corporations are involved, for example, it is often possible to structure a tax free merger. The specifics of how this is accomplished vary with each transaction, however. Mergers involving other types of business entities may or may not be taxable, depending on the circumstances.
Q: Should a corporation own real estate?
A: Normally we discourage clients from having their corporations own real estate, but under certain circumstances it may be advisable. The primary problem with having a corporation own real estate is the high tax cost that is paid if the real estate is sold or distributed to shareholders. Often a limited partnership or limited liability company tax as a partnership is a better choice to own real estate. Real estate can also produce rental income that may threaten an S corporation's state and federal S elections.
Q: How often should a corporation hold meetings and update its minutes?
A: Any time a corporation undertakes a major change or transaction, it should be reflected in its minutes. In addition, meetings of shareholders and directors should take place at least annually if for no other reason than to elect new officers and directors. Failure to adhere to the formality of regular meetings can jeopardize the corporation's ability to shield its officers, directors and shareholders from personal liability for the corporation's actions.
Q: Is it a good idea to have a Buy Sell Agreement for a corporation?
A: Any time a corporation has more than one shareholder, a buy sell agreement is strongly recommended. A shareholder's death, divorce, disability or termination of employment can create serious problems for a corporation and its other shareholders. A buy sell agreement can help minimize these problems by describing what will happen in those events. Similar provisions are strongly recommended for partnership agreements and operating agreements for limited liability companies.

Dua-SupplicationProphet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The dua' of any one of you will be answered so long as he does not seek to hasten it, and does not say, 'I made dua' but I had no answer.'" (Narrated by al-Bukhari),
The Prophet said; .A believer, in all his affairs, is envied whether in times of adversity or in luxury, and this is a special feature for believers only. Whenever a believer has luxury, he thanks Allah, and whenever he faces hardship, he commits himself to patience. In all cases, it is good for him. (Muslim)
Most of us pray to Allah Almighty for even the minutest things in our life. Sometimes, our dua are answered, and other times they are delayed, and some other times, we do not see the response.
Trials, tribulations and challenges are part of every person's life. However, to counter that, Allah has provided us a very powerful tool – and that is the tool of du'aa or asking Allah for help and his mercy when we need it. And we need it all the time…
During these difficult times we all need duas and additionally a positive response to our duas.
However, to understand trials and tribulations that we face in our daily lives, we also need to understand the topic of "Sins" and how our sins may be related to our trials and tribulations.
The better we understand the ghastly nature of our sins, and the rate at which we accumulate them, along with their undesirable impact on our daily lives and the hereafter, the more it can propel us away from committing sins in general and the more it will drive us to seek forgiveness for our sins – through making the right Dua's for us and for others
1. Allahumma inni a'udhu bika mina al-Hamm wa'l-hazn wa'l-ajz wa'l-kasal wa'l-bukhl wa'l-jubn WA dala wa'ldayn WA gheebat al-rijal
Trans: O Allah! I seek refuge in you from distress, grief, incapacity, laziness, miserliness, cowardice, the burden of debt and from being overpowered by Men.
2. Allahumma inni abduka ibn abdika ibn amatija naasiyatee bi yadika, maada fiyya hukmuka, adlun fiyya qadhaa'uka. As'aluka bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika aw 'allamtahu ahadan min khalqika aw ista'tharta bihi fi ilm il-ghayb indaka an tajal al-Quraana Rabee' qalbi WA noor sadree WA jala huznee WA dhihaab hammi
Trans: O Allah! I am your slave, son of your slave, son of your maidservant; my forelock is in your hand, your command over me is forever executed and your decree over is just. I ask you by every name belonging to You which You have named Yourselves with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught to any of Your creation, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Quran the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety.
3. La ilaha ill-Allah al-Azeem al-Hakim, laa ilaha ill-Allah Rabb al 'A'rsh al-'Adheem la ilaha illaa-Allah Rabb al-Samawati WA Rabb al Ard WA Rabb al-A'rsh al-Kareem
Trans: There is no God but Allah, the All-powerful. The Forbearing; There is no god but Allah. Rabb of the mighty throne; there is no god but Allah, Rabb of heaven, Rabb of earth, Rabb of the Nobel throne.
4. Ya hayyu ya Qayyum bi rahmatika astagheetu
Trans: O Ever-Living, O Eternal, by your mercy I seek help.
5. Allah, Allah Rabee la ushriku bihi say' an
Trans: Allah, Allah is my Lord; I do not associate anything with Him.
6. Allahumma Rahmatan arjoo fa la takilni ILA nafsee tarfat ayn w'aslih li sha'ni kullahu la ilaha illaa anta
Trans: O Allah, for your mercy I hope, so does not leave in charge of my affairs even for the blink of an eye: rectify all my affairs. There is no God except You.
31:32 And so, when violent waves surround them like shadows of gloom, they call unto Allah, sincere in their faith in Him (and work according to Divine Laws). But as soon as We save them ashore, some of them compromise (with falsehood). Yet none could knowingly reject Our Messages unless he is a betrayer to his own "Self", ungrateful for such blessing.
As you can see, Dua's will ONLY work when there are no more ways we can resolve the issue our selves. A Dua will ONLY work when there are no other options left for us by which we can solve it. God has given us sufficient means to resolve almost anything ourselves. This can be seen by this verse:
4:97 As for those who wrong their own "Self" by not striving until the angels (the Universal Laws of death) approach them, they are asked, "What kept you occupied?" They say, "We were weak and oppressed in the land." The angels say, " Was not the earth of Allah SWT spacious enough for you to migrate?" As for such, their habitation will be Hell, a miserable destination.
Allah SWT (God) didn't accept them because He already gave the means to solve it themselves. Their excuse is that they were weak and surpressed, but they are confronted that Allah SWT (God) gave them the possibility to migrate, because they didn't make use of this possibility, their excuse is not accepted. People pray to Allah SWT (God) for help while ignoring the help He already gave them, this is a gross offense to Allah SWT (God) and all the blessings He already gave us.
So you see we can't say we must pray more? You think Allah SWT (God) will answer those prayers while He gave us enough possibilities to solve them ourselves? You ask him food while He gave you the land to grow them yourselves? You ask peace while we only need to lay down our weapons?Allah (God) will not help when He has given enough possibilities already to resolve it ourselves, it is time mankind will understand this. We have the means to create peace already, because we will not accept these possibilities Allah SWT (God) will not give us more. We want to create the best society? Then we must work for it and make use of the possibilities Allah SWT (God) already gave us. Prayer will only help when there are no more options left, and we are far from no more options, we still have millions of unused option
If you recite Sura al Baqarah for 3 days or more, no Shaitan or anything will enter the house InshaAllah.
If we feel that du'aa isn't working, Aisha (R.A.) said, "No believer makes Dua and it is wasted. Either it is granted here in this world or deposited for him in the Hereafter as long as he does not get frustrated."
Learn from Quran (Surat an-Nisa': 75).
In one of the passages of the Qur`an, Allah records the dua of the Muslims of Mecca who after the establishment of a Muslim state in Medina were left stranded, facing severe persecution. They were subject to all kinds of harassment and torture. They prayed to Allah Almighty saying, 'Our Lord, take us out of this city whose inhabitants are wrongdoers! Give us a protector from You! Give us a helper from You!'? (Surat an-Nisa': 75)
Allah SWT has the power to whisk each of them away from Mecca without anyone knowing. Allah SWT has the power of causing destruction to the city.
Allah SWT has the power of punishing the oppressor in an exemplary manner. But the manner Allah SWT chose to respond to the prayers of the Muslims of Mecca was unique and practical.
He asked the Muslims of Medina who had created a state and were in control of material resources the following; "What reason could you have for not fighting in the Way of Allah-for those men, women and children who are oppressed and say, 'Our Lord, take us out of this city whose inhabitants are wrongdoers! Give us a protector from You! Give us a helper from You!'? (Surat an-Nisa': 75)
Prayer is responded
The prayer was responded to. and thus Allah SWT taught us how the prayer is responded.
He invites the people who are well established and settled to come to the rescue of those who are less fortunate.
In these difficult times, our prayers will be responded when those who are in a position of authority and influence sincerely come forward to help those who are in need of help.
"And your Lord says: Pray unto me: and I will hear your prayer" (Quran 40:60),
"Call upon your Lord Humbly and in secret" (Quran 7:55),
"When My servants question thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on me" (Quran 2:186), "Is not He (best) who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on Him, and who relieves its suffering." (Quran 27:62)
the blessed prophet used to ask:
'Allahumma inni as'aluka huda, wattuqa, walafafa wal ghina'
(Oh Allah, I ask you for guidance, fear, piety and freedom from need)
May Allah swt give us the guidance and Hedayah to seek out the Truth and Practice Islam as it was meant to be practiced?
I pray Allah SWT make our efforts sincere and keep us all on the straight path...........
Feel free to Share the information here with everyone you know,
And earn Sawab-e-Jariya...May Allah swt make it a source of Sawab-e-Jariya for u and me .Ameen

When attempting to import data from an Excel spreadsheet using the JMP wizard I get this message "Cannot stack. Stacked columns are of different data type." What does it mean and how do I resolve the problem?
It means that you have the option "Treat multiple column header lines as hierarchies" checked, but the data types are not correct for that operation. JMP tries, with that option, to break out the header lines as separate columns where the data columns are paired with those separated header values. This is a similar operation to the Stack under the Tables menu.
Your error message is because the columns under the headers have different data types (character-vs-numeric) and can't be stacked.
You can avoid this error by turning off the "Treat multiple" option.

This creamy super food has a number of benefits not only for your stomach and weight loss efforts, but for the natural health of your skin. This belief dates back to the ancient days when yogurt was used in the Indian sub-continent to get rid of pimples, and by Cleopatra in ancient Egypt to keep her skin young and supple.
In the world of today, the creamy stuff is also being used for the same reasons on the skin, in addition to many other uses. Yogurt contains a very high percentage of lactic acid as well as zinc, B vitamins and calcium. These are the most important of its nutrients which are good for your skin.
Uses of yogurt for the skin
Fighting acne: The high amount of lactic acid that is present in yogurt makes it the perfect remedy for getting rid of acne fast. You can either have it on as a mask or just eat it and enjoy as it works its magic within your body. Both ways are safe and are guaranteed to give results.
Anti-aging: Egypt's Cleopatra knew what she was doing when she bathed inside some kind of a bathtub full of yogurt. The reason for this was that yogurt fights the free radicals in the body that cause premature aging using its biggest component which is lactic acid. While at it, it also delays the appearance of wrinkles on the face. But since it is a bit unrealistic to dip your whole body in yogurt, you can apply it on your face and wash off after 30 minutes.
Lighten dark circles: The zinc that is found in yogurt has a way of lightening skin blemishes and discolorations. This also happens for dark circles under the eyes which make you look like you are forever tired. For this to work, you can dilute the yogurt in water then apply on the blemishes you want to banish. Let it stay for 15 minutes then wipe it off. Repeat for a week or two.
Moisturizer: Yogurt is a great moisturizer for your skin especially if it looks dull. By having a yogurt facial, you will be reviving your skin and naturally exfoliating it. The results will be a natural glow and a smooth skin. For this facial, all you need is to wash your face first, then apply the yogurt, and rinse it off after 20 minutes.
Sunburn relief: Dubai is the city of sun and sand, and if you do not watch yourself you might end up getting sunburned. If this unfortunate mishap happens, worry not because yogurt has your back. The zinc present in plenty in yogurt will cool your sunburnt skin. Apply the yogurt on the sunburnt areas, let it sooth your skin then rinse off after 20 minutes.
Since there are hundreds of brands of yogurt in the dairy aisle of your local grocery store, it is important to note that not all yogurts are the same. For the creamy stuff to work wonders on your skin, it has to contain lots of probiotics, unsweetened and natural. If you use the sweetened stuff, you might end up with irritations on your skin. So stay on course and enjoy the real form of yogurt.
For information on skin care and skin anti-aging treatments, kindly call us for an appointment, and we promise you will not be disappointed.

In a nutshell: My voice-controlled home automation system was named ModernSteward (I'm stupid). The confusing part is: when you are giving a command, there should be a keyword. The keyword is Melissa, so you can say "Melissa, turn the lights on". Melissa is very catchy and since we have a lot of publicity with it, we are seeking for another name of the product. Obviously, "Melissa" is not OK, because melissa.com is registered. We were thinking about something like MelissaHome.com See the current website: http://modernsteward.com
I like the name "Melissa" — but I wouldn't use a website URL like www.melissahome.com because it just doesn't feel "natural" — I would choose something that implies what Melissa means to us... For example: "Ask Melissa" or something like that.
Good luck!
What if I don't like Melissa - or the bad guys discover that is the magic keyword? Surely I can pick my own name? Ted, Frank, Melinda? So company name should be different - like modernsteward or MagicButler.com (better still.. it is for sale for a small fee from Brighter Naming)
A voice-automated home automation system probably has broad consumer appeal, since it applies to so many of us (potentially).
Given that fact, I think your domain should do more than just fit the command word you're using. It should be memorable, of course. And it ought to convey relevant information and make the right first impression. Ideally it would do more than those things too, by facilitating passive online discovery.
Thumbs down to MelissaHome.com. Sorry.
The reality is, no matter what alternative domain you land on, you're going to have to buy it. I like the domain iMelissa.com, but of course, someone owns it.
What's more important for you is building more an audience/following. A short form product video is critical. The only videos I can find, take a full minute before I see "Melissa" do anything. Longer, before I see what the hardware/form-factor looks like. You would really benefit from a video like this one: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/canary-the-first-smart-home-security-device-for-everyone
Something like that would be more shareable. You've had some nice press- but it's not very sharable- which might explain the small following you currently have on your social pages.
Hope that's helpful, would be happy to chat more.
Melissa has 3 syllables. Fewer is better. Siri has 2 syllables and 4 letters -- and it's easier to say (phonology).
MelissaHome sounds like a command to a dog or a deprecating command to a child: "Melissa, go home." Wait, forget about the "go." "Melissa, home!"
Never start with publicity. Start with what is right for your audience, right for your brand, right for what you want to evoke. MelissaHome does none of these things. Go back to my previous post. If you do stick with "Melissa," for the sake of argument, put a verb in front of it. When I did a project for a high-end antioxidant drink company, they had a catchy brand name but a difficult to spell ingredient (can't say here for confidentiality reasons). The website I suggested and that they use today was Drink<BrandName>.com -- because that's what they wanted people to do: Drink It! The ingredient was a feature, but not a benefit in and of itself and moreover, it was insuperably difficult to spell or pronounce.
You should think along the same lines.
Give her a last name. MelissaFoden, MelissaGustavson, MelissaGunnion, MelissaNordyke, and MelissaChristopher are all available as dot-com URLs, while MelissaJoseph.com can be had for a mere $18,000. Wait, wait - are you choosing your product name by whether or not you can get an exact-match URL? That's a mistake. Choose the name of the thing first. The name has certain important jobs to do. It should not be compromised for the sake of a domain name. You can create the right URL later - get the name of your product right first. Though MelissaGunnion does have a certain lilt to it, don't you think?
Melissa has too many potential pronunciations
Here are two, in IPA (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:English_pronunciation):
Consider something that's a little more internationally pronounceable in order to avoid having multiple names for your product across the globe as you expand.
Definitely don't exceed three syllables, but two is probable a goal. "Siri" is two, "OK, Glass" is three, and "OK, Google" is four. You know what's easier to say quickly!
While I like Melissa, as others have mentioned there are international as well as phonetic issues with it. Many languages don't have 'L' sounds--which could lead to user issues. Also using a common proper name will have some issues as well... One of which you've already discovered domain names, the other may be the Melissa's of the world not being to pleased with their name being associated with a digital servant.. While their is a shortage of great available domains. For longevity, you may want to consider looking at your entire product experience and branding and align them into a more coherent system that can evolve as your business shifts and changes.

Running back Ronnie Brown is the latest former Pro Bowler nesting in Philly this season.
The Eagles signed the former Dolphins 1,000-yard rusher to a one-year deal Tuesday.
The deal is worth $1 million plus some incentives, reports Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio.
Brown, 29, averaged 4.3 yards per carry while rushing for 4,815 yards and 36 TDs in six seasons in Miami. He also added 184 catches for 1,491 yards and two receiving TDs. He also was a pivotal cog in Miami's "Wildcat" offense passing for two TDs.
A Georgia native, Brown was the second overall pick in the 2005 NFL draft. He joins CB Nnamdi Asomugha, DE Jason Babin, DT Cullen Jenkins and QB Vince Young as former Pro Bowlers to sign with the Eagles since the lockout was lifted.
The 6-foot, 230-pounder will likely backup LeSean McCoy and serve as a third-down back.
"Ronnie is an all-around running back with a versatile skill set," said Eagles general manager Howie Roseman. "He can run the ball, catch it, and does very well in pass protection. He'll add some good size to our backfield and he's a good character guy."
"You can never have enough good running backs in this league and we are happy to have Ronnie join us."
Tackle Ryan Harris and safety Jarrad Page are also joining the Birds on one-year deals. Harris, a 6-foot-5, 300-pounder, played 46 games for the Broncos after Denver drafted him in 2007. The 26-year-old started 10 games for Denver last season. Page, 26, has 210 tackles, 12 interceptions, four forced fumbles and a sack in 63 career games (40 starts) for Kansas City and New England.

Being a military family, we have been through several relocations (12 so far) in our 27 years. Prior to each move, we are allotted between 5 and 7 days to find a new home — our "house hunting trip". If you're moving soon, here are a few tips that can help make your house hunting trip a little less stressful.
Define your needs and wants
We always make two lists when we are searching for a home — one list with the absolute minimum we will accept and another one with some features that we would really appreciate. For example, our bicycles are an essential mode of transportation for us so we need secure outdoor storage. We need at least a large garden shed or a one-car garage. We would really appreciate a two-car garage.
Other questions to ask yourself include:
- Do you want an older home with character and potentially higher maintenance costs or a newer home with modern design and lower maintenance costs?
- Do you need to be close to a specific school for your children?
- Do you need to be on a direct public transit route to work/school?
- Do you want to be close to fitness centres, cycling/hiking trails, dog parks, grocery stores?
Remember to speak to your financial advisor to determine what kind of mortgage payment you can manage and factor that in to your needs and wants list.
Research homes and neighbourhoods
Real estate websites have detailed listings of homes that are available but check Google Maps and Street View to get an idea of what the neighbourhoods are like.
Contact a real estate agent as soon as you know you'll be moving into the area. They know the area very well and they know the market. Provide your list of needs and wants as well as your budget and a timeline of when you plan on moving into the new home. Your agent can put together a list of potential properties based on the requirements you provide.
Research other information such as tax rates, schools, and crime statistics. You might also want to verify costs for services such as electricity, water, heating fuel, internet accessibility and other municipal services such as public transit and garbage/recycling collection.
Following the Twitter accounts for public transit, city services, local traffic, and local police will also give you some good information about the city as will listening to live-streaming of local news radio stations.
If you're lucky enough to know people who live in your new city, reach out to them for advice. They might be able to connect you to Facebook or LinkedIn pages and groups that can provide information about your new area.
Consider renting
Your house-hunting trip may only be a week long and you may have a limited selection of homes to choose from. Rather than invest money in a house you may not be happy with, consider renting. While you are residing in a rental property, you will have the opportunity to get to know your new city, its neighbourhoods, traffic patterns, and amenities. You'll have to move again (out of your rental and into your own home) but that hassle might be worth it if you can take the time to find your dream home in your preferred neighbourhood.
Indicate to your real estate agent that you are open to renting if you don't see what you want to buy. Do a bit of research into the landlord-tenant regulations and standard leases in your new area to ensure you are comfortable with the terms of a rent or lease agreement (for example, how much notice must you give before you move out, are there penalties for moving out early, etc.).
Prepare before you go
Most realtors will be able to send you a list of potential homes before you arrive. Go through the list and eliminate any homes that do not meet your minimum requirements. Have your realtor make viewing appointments for any homes you do want to visit.
Ask if your realtor will be chauffeuring you around or whether you will be driving the realtor around. If it is the latter, take a few moments to enter the addresses of the homes you'll be visiting into your car's navigation system — if you'll be using your own car. If you'll be using a rental car you can use your own GPS or app on your phone.
Check your cell phone plan to ensure you will have phone/text/data coverage in your new area. Your phone company might offer a data roaming add-on for a discounted rate. This is especially important if you are using your phone as a navigation system.
Purchase a paper map of your new city. They have the advantage of allow you to view a much larger area and it is easy to see in one glance the location of all important landmarks and features (e.g., shopping centres, parks, etc.) near each home.
Book a hotel nearest to the neighbourhood where you're looking for homes. There's nothing worse to waste your time than being stuck in downtown traffic when you're trying to get out to the suburbs on the far side of town. It's also nice to be able to return to your hotel for a bit of a break and to freshen up between showings.
Finding a new home and moving can be stress inducing but when you are prepared ahead of time, you will find it much easier to make a home-buying decision.

Till now you have heard the DARPA's terminator-wannabes as a terror. But a new terror just like it is inventing called iStruct Robo-ape. DFKI developed the robot and testing period is still running. The main objective of DFKI is to ensure high efficiency for the complex walking robot. For that they developed a structure known as intelligent 'structures'. These kinds of feature with artificial muscles and sensors make the body very flexible and strong.
The robot is provided with different types of features and it is quite versatile in nature. This will be able to climb within a very short time.
We don't know what will be the main function of the robo-ape but we heard it is a melding robot with internal wiring and motion detector. It has a solid upper body and the spine move to the body as well as work as a torque sensor.
The robo-ape not only featured with a high degree of stability but also able to stand upright even move. This helps to maintain a balance properly. It contains sensitive feet and the sensor is 6-axis force/torque. Mainly 43 pressure sensors stay in an array with an accelerometer and magnetic encoders.

Serie A title hopefuls Roma struck a blow to AC Milan's own plans to recapture past glories by downing the new-look Rossoneri 2-0 at San Siro on Sunday.
A full-strength Milan team boasting the likes of Leonardo Bonucci, Andre Silva and Hakan Calhanoglu – the Turkey midfielder was later sent off – could not resist a gritty attacking display from Roma, who struck twice in the second half through Edin Dzeko and the fit-again Alessandro Florenzi.
Dzeko grabbed his eighth goal of the season in all competitions when breaking Gianluigi Donnarumma's resolve and expansive wing-back Florenzi promptly doubled Roma's advantage with his first league strike in almost 18 months.
In the evening game, Paulo Dybala missed a penalty as Juventus surrendered their 100 per cent record, drawing 2-2 at Atalanta.
It looked like business as usual for the reigning champions when Federico Bernardeschi and Gonzalo Higuain scored inside the opening half hour but Juve-bound Mattia Caldara made it interesting with a Nerazzurri response before
the interval.
Mario Mandzukic later had a goal ruled out by the video assistant referee before Bryan Cristante levelled with a header. Then, with only minutes remaining, Dybala blasted straight at Etrit Berisha after Andrea Petagna handballed a free kick.
Earlier, prolific Napoli extended their fine domestic record to seven straight wins with a comfortable 3-0 home victory over Cagliari.
Marek Hamsik, Dries Mertens – with a penalty – and Kalidou Koulibaly wrapped up a routine win as Napoli scored at least three goals for an 11th successive league game.
Marcelo Brozovic notched twice against basement boys Benevento to lift Inter Milan into second place on the back of a 2-1 away win.
The Croatian rattled in two goals inside three first-half minutes to give Inter the upper hand against winless Benevento, who replied before the break through Marco D'Alessandro. Just before the hour mark, D'Alessandro clattered a post, frustrating fans at the Stadio Ciro Vigorito waiting for a first top-flight point.
Lazio look ready to make a push into the Champions League places following the international break after thrashing Sassuolo 6-1 at the Stadio Olimpico.
Luis Alberto scored twice and set up Stefan de Vrij for another, with Marco Parolo also bagging a brace in response to Domenico Berardi's opener from the penalty spot. Ciro Immobile, who went into the match with 12 goals in all competitions, added late gloss with a spot-kick after he was fouled by Luca Mazzitelli.
Ten-man Hellas Verona plundered two late goals to stop Torino climbing into the Europa League spots.
Iago Falque and M'Baye Niang scored before half-time to heap further woe on Verona, winless following promotion, but there was a point on offer for the Gialloblu and they seized it when on-loan Juve forward Moise Kean and veteran striker Giampaolo Pazzini, from the spot, struck in the last couple of minutes to make it 2-2.
There was more drama when, seven minutes into stoppage time, Verona's Bruno Zuculini saw red for fouling Lyanco.
Lucas Castro's double was enough for Chievo to bounce back and beat Fiorentina 2-1 after Giovanni Simeone had fired a sixth-minute goal for La Viola.
Elsewhere, Crotone's Simy denied SPAL the chance to end a run of four straight defeats with a win as he replied to substitute Alberto Paloschi's strike to make it 1-1 in Ferrara.

Gods are not immortal, after all.
Dan Gurney, one of the most versatile and talented racers in the history of US auto racing, died Sunday at age 86 of complications from pneumonia.
Gurney's family announced his passing with a written statement, saying, "With one last smile on his handsome face, Dan drove off into the unknown just before noon today. In deepest sorrow, with gratitude in our hearts for the love and joy you have given us during your time on this earth, we say 'Godspeed."
Gurney won seven times in IndyCar Series competition, five times in what is now NASCAR's Monster Energy Cup Series, and four times in Formula 1 races from 1962 to 1970. He also excelled in Sports Car racing, teaming with A.J. Foyt and Ford Motor Company to win the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans, and claiming the inaugural running of what is now the Rolex 24 at Daytona in 1962. His career resume includes 51 career victories and 47 podium finishes in 312 starts.
He is one of only three drivers to win in all four major motorsports disciplines, joining Mario Andretti and Juan Pablo Montoya.
The highlight of his legendary career came during a spectacular, two-week span in 1967 when he finished second in the Indianapolis 500, drove a Ford GT40 MKIV to victory at Le Mans with co-driver AJ Foyt, then won the Belgian Grand Prix in his own Gurney Eagle; becoming the only American to win an F1 race in a car of his own design.
Bobby Unser demolished the Indianapolis Motor Speedway by an incredible 17 mph in 1972 at the wheel of a Gurney Eagle, leading easily until the ignition failed. The next year, 19 of the Indy's 33 starters drove Eagles, with Gordon Johncock claiming the win.
The Long Island native – the son of an opera singer -- is credited with creating the wicker bill; an aerodynamic device still widely used in both the motorsports and aviation industries, and the first to use a full-faced helmet. He was also the first to celebrate a race victory by spraying the celebratory champagne, rather than drinking it.
Shortly after retiring as a driver, Gurney was convinced to take part in the 1971 Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, an unsanctioned, highly illegal event that covered public highways from New York to California. Co-driving a blisteringly fast Ferrari with the late writer Brock Yates, Gurney completed the 2,863-mile event in 35 hours and 54 minutes, quipping "at no time did we exceed 175 mph."
Gurney was a co-founder of Championship Auto Racing Teams, which sanctioned open-wheel racing in the United States from 1979 to 2008.
"Dan Gurney was not only a great innovator, he was a great driver," said Foyt of his fallen comrade. "It didn't matter if it was a road course or an oval, an Indy car or a stock car. I never use the word `legend,' but in the case of Dan, he was a true legend of our sport. We became close friends at Le Mans in '67 and winning it brought us closer together. He was a super guy. Even though we were competitors in the Indy cars, we always respected each other highly.
"As we got older we became closer, (we called) each other on birthdays or when we were sick. Now I'm glad we got to spend the time together we did at Long Beach last year, along with Edsel Ford. We told a lot of stories and we had a lot of fun talking about the old times. It's hard to believe he's gone and I'm really going to miss him. My thoughts are with Evi and his family."
Mario Andretti eulogized Gurney on Twitter, saying, "I was first inspired by him when I was in midgets, dreaming of being like him. I was last inspired by him yesterday. Yes, I mean forever. He understood me better than anyone else, which is why he wrote the foreword for my book in 2001."
"When we talk about legendary American drivers, owners and car constructors on an international stage, Dan Gurney is one of the all-time greats," said J. Douglas Boles, president of Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "His skill in all three areas helped him make an indelible mark and serve as a huge influence in this sport. Dan was a giant in the racing world in every sense. Our sincere condolences and prayers are with his wife, Evi, and the entire Gurney family. Godspeed, Dan Gurney."
Daytona International Speedway President Chip Wile said, "Dan's success -- and his sheer presence -- helped elevate our facility to the world-wide stature that our founder, Bill France Sr., originally envisioned. As a driver, (he) helped establish the speedway as a pre-eminent road-racing circuit. Years later, as a champion car owner in IMSA, he helped cement the speedway's legacy in that regard. We all are fortunate to have crossed his path."
The Gurney family will hold a private funeral in the near future. They have asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Hoag Hospital Foundation in Newport Beach, Cal.

Do you value your friends' private information on social media as much as your own? Most likely not, says a new study, suggesting that when it comes to their privacy, people are info-egoists.
People are much more concerned about sharing their own private information with third-party app developers than they are about revealing their friends' data, the study said.
However, as social media makes data increasingly interconnected, preserving one's own privacy while ignoring the privacy rights of others may make everybody's data more vulnerable, said Jens Grossklags, assistant professor of information sciences and technology at Pennsylvania State University in the US.
"The problem is becoming known as interdependent privacy," Grossklags said.
"The privacy of individual consumers does not only depend on their own decisions, but is also affected by the actions of others," Grossklags pointed out.
In the study, the researchers measured the economic value of personal information which individuals place on their own and other's information.
The participants valued the data in their own social media profiles at $2.31 and their friends' data at $1.56 when friends' data was irrelevant to a third party app's function.
When friends' data was necessary for app function, the participants valued their own data at $2.04 and their friends' data at just 98 cents.
The researchers estimated that the average Facebook user, for example, with an average of more than 300 friends, would value the bundle of friends' data at less than a cent per friend when data collection is necessary.
When data collection is unnecessary, people value the information for a single friend at less than three cents.
The researchers collected data from about 400 users of Mechanical Turk, a crowdsourced marketplace that allows members to earn money for completing various tasks.
The findings were presented at the International Conference on Information Systems in Fort Worth, Texas, US.

Wolf Species
The Gray Wolf
The Red Wolf
The Mexican Wolf (Grey Wolf subspecies)
The Arctic Wolf (Grey Wolf subspecies)
There are two species of wolves in North America:
There are two species of wolves in North America: the gray wolf (Canis lupus) and the red wolf (Canis rufus). The critically endangered red wolf is limited in its current range to a small portion of coastal North Carolina, but once roamed throughout the Southeast and much of the Eastern and South-central United States and north into Eastern Canada. With about 100 red wolves living in the wild, it is one of the world's most endangered canids and is on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species. Scientists are divided over whether another wolf, known as the eastern wolf, is a separate species (Canis lycaon) or another gray wolf subspecies (Canis lupus lycaon).
In North America, the gray wolf ranges across the U.S. Northern Rockies, the Pacific Northwest and the Western Great Lakes region, and from the U.S./Canadian border north to the Artic (including Alaska and Greenland) and in a small region along the Arizona-New Mexico border, with very few wolves struggling to survive in Mexico.
Beyond North America, the gray wolf ranges throughout northern latitudes inhabiting much of Eurasia, from Spain and Portugal to Scandinavia, the Alps and Eastern Europe and from the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent north across the former Soviet Union, China, and Mongolia. Gray wolves are residents of the world, and in many ways they are basically the same.
At one time, at least 24 subspecies of the wolf were recognized in North America, based on regional variations in overall size, color, and skull configuration. However, wolves travel great distances, which can result in interbreeding between subspecies often blurring the distinction between types. Common names such as eastern timber wolf and Rocky Mountain wolf describe geographic origin more than distinguishing physical characteristics. All gray wolves are much more similar than they are distinct.
Current classification divides North American gray wolves into four to six subspecies. The southernmost and smallest of these subspecies, the Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) is the most rare and critically endangered subspecies of gray wolf, with fewer than 100 animals surviving in Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico. The Mexican Wolf or "lobo" continues to receive federal Endangered Species protections, though they have been given the unfortunate designation of "Nonessential, Experimental." This designation allows for what the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) refers to as "increased management flexibility."
The Arctic wolf (Canis lupus arctos), resides in North America's northernmost latitudes. Notwithstanding the debate over the eastern wolf, the other two subspecies currently recognized, which account for most of the wolves in the United States and Canada, are the Great Plains wolf (Canis lupus nubilis) and the Rocky Mountain Wolf (Canis lupus occidentalis).
What is a Pack
A Pack is a Family
Wolves are highly social animals that live in family groups, also referred to as packs. A family of wolves can consist of only parents and a few offspring, or it can be large and extended, including aunts and uncles, siblings, grandparents, and even adoptees.
The most basic form of a wolf pack consists of a bonded pair, known as the breeding pair or alphas. These are the leaders of the family and their bond can last a lifetime. The vast majority of the time, only the breeding pair within a pack reproduces. Breeding occurs early every year, in late winter. After a two-month or 63 day gestation period, pups are born underground in a den. The timing of this breeding cycle is such that pups are born at a time of year that will give them the best chance of survival with much of spring and all of summer and fall ahead of them to develop into nearly full grown wolves capable of surviving the next winter.
Pack size varies depending on geographic location and season, as well as prey size and availability. Small packs may consist of only two wolves, while larger packs can have more than twenty.
Physical Characteristics
An average-size North American male gray wolf weighs from 70 to 130 pounds, stands 26 to 36 inches at the shoulders, and stretches five to six feet from nose to the tip of the tail. Females are about 20 percent smaller. The smaller Mexican wolf weighs 50 to 80 pounds. The coat or fur of a gray wolf can be many shades of gray, tan, brown, rusty red, cream, buff, and solid black or white. Arctic gray wolves tend to be creamy white and blend in better in landscapes dominated by snow and ice.
The fur of a gray wolf consists of two layers: the outer guard hairs shed water and provide the markings, while the dense undercoat provides insulation. A wolf can curl up in the snow and sleep in temperatures of minus 50° Fahrenheit (minus 45° Celsius).
Wolves roam over large territories and are built for distance running. Their chest is narrow, which makes forging through deep snow easier. Their legs are long and closely set together at the front, so that the rear paws follow the front paws in the same track. Their paws are large, almost the size of an adult human hand, which allows for easier travel across snow and other terrain
As befits top-level carnivores, wolves have large teeth, and jaws with a bite force of 1,500 pounds per square inch, capable of crushing the thighbone of a moose.
Timeline & Maps
The Trail of the Wolf
History of Wolves in North America
1870 to 1877Wolf Extermination Peaks. In addition to ongoing state-by- state bounty programs, the federal government employs bounty hunters to eradicate wolves. During this period, as many as 100,000 wolves are killed each year.
1914Wolf eradication campaign begins. The U.S. government approves destroying all species "injurious to agriculture" in the West. Yellowstone National Park begins a wolf eradication campaign.
1926Park rangers shoot two wolf pups, the last two wolves in Yellowstone.
1935 to 1968Yellowstone rangers shoot, trap, and export elk and other prey species that are now overpopulating and overgrazing the park.
1944Aldo Leopold, pioneer of American conservation, recommends bringing wolves back to Yellowstone.
1974The gray wolf is protected by Congress under the Endangered Species Act, and the Rocky Mountain wolf recovery team is established.
1987The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service approves the Northern Rocky Mountain Wolf Recovery Plan.
1995 to 1996After extensive public input, including testimony from more than 160,000 people, and based on the wolf recovery plan, 66 wolves from Canada are released into Yellowstone and Central Idaho.
2005A federal mandate allows livestock owners in Montana and Idaho, with no permit required, to kill wolves threatening their livestock. State and tribal agencies can also kill wolves to protect their elk and deer herds.
2007The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposes removing the northern Rocky Mountain wolf population from the endangered species list. Three months later, the Service receives a letter from 247 independent scientists opposing the proposal and stating that the wolf population is too small to maintain long-term genetic viability.
2008 to 2010The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service removes wolves from the endangered species list twice, only to be overturned twice by a federal court upholding the Endangered Species Act. Wolves are hunted by the public in Idaho and Montana while court cases are pending.
2011Via a rider attached to the federal budget, Congress removes wolves from endangered species protection in the Northern Rockies. A lone wolf, known as OR-7, crosses from Oregon into California, the first in more than 80 years.
2012In one year, nearly 50 percent of Idaho's wolves have been killed. Wyoming announces a shoot-on-sight policy in more than 80 percent of the state, any time of year, no license required. Montana triples its hunting quota and introduces a wolf-trapping season.
2013In June of 2013, the agency has proposed to remove the gray wolf from the list of threatened and endangered species. Many organizations hotly contest this proposal, claiming recovery is not complete and the delisting is premature.
2014Idaho creates its Wolf Control Board on behalf of ranchers and hunters. For five years, the bill annually appropriates roughly $620,000 to kill wolves from general tax dollars, the Idaho Fish and Game and the livestock industry. The first wolf to reach the Grand Canyon in over 70 years, after traveling more than 750 miles, is shot by a coyote hunter claiming he misidentified the radio-collared wolf for a coyote. The McKittrick Policy, a controversial loophole in the ESA, protects those who kill an endangered species, but claim misidentification. Federal courts reinstate ESA protections for wolves in Wyoming, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
2015On Capitol Hill, legislation is introduced to remove ESA protections again for wolves in WY, MI, WI, and MN. Two referendums in MI show that the public (through overwhelming majority) do not want wolves to be hunted, but state legislators pass a third law that negated the referendums and the will of the people. Twenty years since reintroduction, the "Shasta pack," becomes the first family of wolves in California to produce a litter in more than 90 years.
2016In Oregon, polling shows overwhelming public support for wolves. Montana hunters continue to kill the wolves of Yellowstone National Park when they step outside of the park. The killing of the Profanity Peak pack on public lands, to appease a private livestock producer, signals a step backward for wolf recovery in the state of Washington. Director Dan Ashe of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issues new regulations that grant greater protections for wolves and other predators on 73 million acres of Alaska's national wildlife refuges.
2017The federal government, under a new administration, reverses the protections issued for wolves and other predators on 73 million acres of Alaska's national wildlife refuges. A wolf-baiting proposal in Idaho is shelved due to public outrage. The McKittrick Policy, known as the "I thought it was a coyote rule," is overturned by a lawsuit brought on by conservation groups. A court decision opens wolf hunting once again in Wyoming. A well-known and loved wolf, White Lady, is poached inside Yellowstone National Park.

There are hundreds of public domain works scattered all over the internet – from well known projects like the Internet Archive, Project Gutenberg and the Wikimedia Foundation's Wikisource and Wikimedia Commons projects, to national and international portals like Europeana and the nascent Digital Public Library of America.
And of course there are numerous small islands and islets that are disconnected from these bigger federating enterprises, clustered around different authors, topics, genres, and periods, run for and by special interest communities.
As a researcher and as a reader, I want to be able to browse across these different sources (I don't mind where texts come from, I just want them to be accurate, to have a stable URL and not to have to trawl around too many different places to look for them). As a potential contributor to the commons, I would like to know which works are available and which are not yet available in digital form, so that I can try to scan and upload them myself or encourage libraries, archives or other institutions to do so.
Currently you can look for specific works on a case by case basis using search engines, or you can browse or search within specific collections, but it isn't straightforward to get a comprehensive overview of freely available works by a given author. Wikisource is reasonably good for this, but bibliographies and links to digital copies are far from complete for many authors.
University students, researchers and teaching staff are very well placed to help to curate the commons of digital content, author by author, topic by topic, discipline by discipline. To do so, they need (i) an incentive to spend time on this, and (ii) a mechanism to contribute. I'd like to see if we could address some of these points with the TEXTUS project, an open source platform for working with collections of texts.
Regarding (i) one incentive would be to work on a project that recognised and trusted by peers and endorsed by well known institutions and scholars in your field. Hence rather than just contributing to a 'public domain content' initiative, you could contribute to a project relating to specific authors, works, or topics that you are doing your research on (a bit like Nietzsche Source, Darwin Online or Copyright History). Users could set up their own project at their own URL, curated by and for a specific scholarly community, each with its own editors, advisors and contributors. This is to recognise the value and importance of trust, reputation and peer review in scholarship. Ideally each TEXTUS instance should be a project that could be cited in a academic paper, and which contributors could list on their CV. This would be following in the footsteps of projects like Open Journal Systems, an open source platform for running open access journals that currently powers over 11,000 journals around the world in a wide variety of fields.
Regarding (ii) ultimately TEXTUS should have an intuitive interface that makes it very easy for scholars to upload scans, transcribe these into plain text and correct transcriptions, and create and edit scholarly bibliographies on different authors and topics. Ideally copies of scans should be uploaded to places like the Internet Archive, plain text transcriptions to Project Gutenberg and Wikisource, and additional and amended metadata records should find their way back into a shared pools of open metadata – just as the original CDDB system or the more recent MusicBrainz project let users share metadata about CDs.
Something like this would have the virtue of helping students and researchers to get more out of freely available digital content, and at the same time harnessing their expertise to curate and enrich the commons for all to enjoy.
Here's a picture that shows how this might work:
If you'd like to follow our progress or help out, you can join one of the mailing lists or follow @textusproject on Twitter.

In the past few months, ever since the Citizen's did the article on our Chemo Cap Project, I've been moved to tears with the genorosity of both knitter's and crocheter's in our community and beyond. We have had a generous donation of yarns for our project, and I can't even tell you the amount of hats that are coming in. We have the sweetest elderly lady, who knits a minimum of 1 hat, and sometimes 2 hats a day. Every couple of weeks, either her granddaughter or her daughter comes in with the bag of finished hats, and we load her up with more soft, light colored yarns.
This Sunday from 12-4 is our Knit for a Cause. We knit chemo hats, preemies hats, squares for Warm Up America, and even Project Linus blankets. If you feel moved, please come join us. Just bring #9 16" Circulars, #9 double points, and an open heart. We have donated yarn for you to use, or you might dig through your stash and find some yarn you'd be willing to part with. If you don't have time to join us, think about us the next time you are destashing. We always in need for more yarn and will accept donations of any smooth, soft yarn. We are able to take other types of yarns as well and use them for blankets, and even squares. We have many participants who have the time to knit but not necessarily the finances to help.
Thanks to all who joined us tonight for Knit and Nosh. I Love, love, love this night. Danielle (Not me, Danielle the owner of this fabulous little shop, but, Danielle a friend/customer from Pollock Pines) surprised us with the fabulous news that she'll be expecting a little bundle of joy next year. We are so excited for her. If you missed last night and want to join us next month, it's always the first Friday of the month from 5-9pm. Bring your current project/problem and a dish to share. We'd love it have you join us.

Department of Reproductive Health and Research (RHR), World Health Organization
Managing newborn problems: A guide for doctors, nurses and midwives
Priced document*
In developing countries: CHF 15.00
Order Number 11500553
A limited number of copies are available from the Reproductive Health Documentation Centre, on special request, free of charge to developing countries.
This guide has been produced by the World Health Organization to assist countries with limited resources in their efforts to reduce neonatal mortality and to ensure care for newborn babies with problems due to complications of pregnancy and childbirth, such as asphyxia, sepsis, and low birth weight or preterm birth.
The main section of this guide is arranged by clinical signs or findings, which facilitates early identification of illness, and provides up-to-date guidelines for clinical management. Use of these guidelines is essential in promoting and assessing the quality of health services and training providers and supporting quality services through supervision and feedback on performance.
The interventions in this guide are based on the latest available scientific evidence and the guide will be updated as new information is acquired. In addition, the diagnostic and management guidelines in this guide are consistent with the other WHO materials in the Integrated Management of Pregnancy and Childbirth (IMPAC) series, including Pregnancy, Childbirth, Postpartum and Newborn Care: A Guide for Essential Practice and Managing Complications in Pregnancy and Childbirth: A Guide for Midwives and Doctors. This guide is complementary to the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) guidelines for care of the sick young infant: the major illnesses emphasized in this guide originate at birth or during the first week of life, while the illnesses covered in the IMCI guidelines generally originate after that period.
It is hoped that this guide will be readily available whenever a doctor, nurse, or midwife is confronted with a sick or small newborn baby. In addition, all of the guides in the IMPAC series can be used by national ministries of health to help ensure that countries have state-of-the-art information upon which to base their national policy standards, pre-service training, and service delivery guidelines.
For the guide to be fully effective, its users should also be trained in a setting where skills can be practised. Many training packages and job aids are available to accompany the guides in the IMPAC series.

Volvo and Uber to Collaborate on Autonomous Vehicles
Swedish automaker Volvo Cars and carsharing service Uber announced they would collaborate on a project to develop "next-generation autonomous cars," according to the carmaker.
The companies signed an agreement August 18 to establish a joint project to develop new base vehicles that could be fit with autonomous technologies, including fully autonomous cars. Those vehicles will be manufactured by Volvo and purchased by Uber, which will fit its own autonomous-driving tech. The companies are contributing a total of $300 million to the project.
The vehicle that results from the project will be based on Volvo's Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform, which currently underpins the XC90 SUV and its S90 and V90 siblings. SPA is an ideal place to start, as it gives Volvo economies of scale by spreading development costs out across a few different model lines. Unlike some other modular platforms, however, Volvo's SPA has the new-tech capability needed by a self-driving automobile, since it was designed from the outset with autonomous drive technology and advanced connectivity. Accompanying Volvo's press release are images of its popular XC90 fit with autonomous-drive accessories.
According to Volvo's press release, both companies view the partnership as a long-term industrial teamup. It's not the first time a tech company has joined with an automaker, as Google and Fiat Chrysler have teamed up to build a self-driving Pacifica minivan. Furthermore, the search engine-turned-infotech giant has used Toyota and Lexus crossovers to test its autonomous tech in the past. And one could argue that Tesla is both a Silicon Valley tech company and an automaker.
A time table hasn't been released yet, but given Ford ambitiously boasted it would get a self-driving car into ridesharing fleets (probably not Uber's) in five years, one could assume both Uber and Volvo would be eager to beat the Blue Oval to the punch. Volvo was one of the first companies to get into the traffic-monitoring and collision mitigation game with City Safety, and its unrelated Drive Me program will begin testing autonomous XC90s on specified test routes in Sweden next year. With all that under its belt, we won't be betting against the company behind the iconic Ironmark logo any time soon.
