Birmingham Chiropractors
A chiropractor is a health care professional focused on the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders, with an emphasis on treatment through manual adjustment and/or manipulation of the spine.
Most chiropractors seek to reduce pain and improve the functionality of patients as well as to educate them on how they can account for their own health via exercise, ergonomics and other therapies to treat back pain.
Chiropractic is generally categorized as alternative medicine or complementary medicine.
Chiropractors Birmingham: Fundamental Beliefs and Goals
Chiropractors focus on the intimate relationship between the nervous system and spine, and hold true the following beliefs:
- Biomechanical and structural derangement of the spine can affect the nervous system
- For many conditions, chiropractic treatment can restore the structural integrity of the spine, reduce pressure on the sensitive neurological tissue, and consequently improve the health of the individual.
The treatment concept of chiropractic is to re-establish normal spinal mobility, which in turn alleviates the irritation to the spinal nerve and/or re-establishes altered reflexes.
In many regards, a chiropractic examination is very similar to standard examination procedures administered by all health care providers. With that said, how chiropractors examine the structure and function of the spine and then determine specific chiropractic treatments separates chiropractic care from other disciplines.
Chiropractic Exam of Lower Back Pain
An initial chiropractic exam for back pain will typically have three parts: a consultation, case history, and physical examination. Laboratory analysis and X-ray examination may be performed.
- Consultation. The patient meets with the chiropractor and provides a brief synopsis of his or her lower back pain, such as:
- Duration and frequency of symptoms
- Description of the symptoms (e.g. burning, throbbing)
- Areas of pain
- What makes the pain feel better (e.g. sitting, stretching)
- What makes the pain feel worse (e.g. standing, lifting).
- Case history. The chiropractor identifies the area(s) of complaint and the nature of the back pain by asking questions and learning more about different areas of the patient's history, including:
- Family history
- Dietary habits
- Past history of other treatments (chiropractic, osteopathic, medical and other)
- Occupational history
- Psychosocial history
- Other areas to probe, often based on responses to above questions.
- Physical examination. A chiropractor may utilize a variety of methods to determine the spinal segments that require chiropractic treatments, including but not limited to static and motion palpation techniques determining spinal segments that are hypo mobile (restricted in their movement) or fixated. Depending on the results of the above examination, a chiropractor may use additional diagnostic tests, such as:
- X-ray to locate subluxations (the altered position of the vertebra)
- A device that detects the temperature of the skin in the paraspinal region to identify spinal areas with a significant temperature variance that requires manipulation.
Many chiropractors utilise a holistic, biomechanical concept of treating the bipedal structure in its entirety, in an attempt to balance the structure from the feet upward.
Chiropractic Adjustment
A chiropractic adjustment, also known as chiropractic manipulation, manual manipulation, or spinal manipulation, is a common therapeutic treatment for lower back pain.18
A chiropractic adjustment refers to a chiropractor applying manipulation to the vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns or fail to function normally.
The objective of this chiropractic treatment is to reduce the subluxation, with the goals of increasing range of motion, reducing nerve irritability and improving function.
- See Understanding Spinal Manipulation
A chiropractic adjustment typically involves:
- A high velocity, short lever arm thrust applied to a vertebra
- An accompanying, audible release of gas (joint cavitation) that is caused by the release of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, which releases joint pressure (cavitation)19
- A relieving sensation most of the time, although minor discomfort has been reported (that usually lasts for a short time duration) if the surrounding muscles are in spasm or the patient tenses up during this chiropractic care.
It should be known that joint cavitation or cracking does not occur at times, typically as a result of significant muscle splinting or the patient not being adequately relaxed during the chiropractic manipulation. At times like this, it is sometimes best for the chiropractor to apply ice, have the patient rest, or do electrical stimulation and massage prior to attempting the chiropractic adjustment.
Birmingham Chiropractic Adjustment Techniques
There are many different manipulative techniques that can be utilized in chiropractic, and there is a certain skill level and "art" involved with high velocity, low amplitude adjustment or manipulation. It is perhaps more important for the chiropractor to determine when not to apply the adjustment.

Addiction Now Highlights Martinez NIH Grant and Research Effort
Feb 06, 2017
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant of $431,700 recently awarded to Luis Martinez, Ph.D. to research the impacts of methamphetamines on wounds is detailed in an article in Addiction Now.
Martinez gathered a group of NYITCOM students and other scientists to collaborate with him. The team recently completed a scientific paper showing that methamphetamines enhance the general proliferation of bacteria. Now, Martinez's team is focusing on the inflammatory properties of meth and its link to a particular protein gene.
The article outlines the multiple phases in this three-year grant period. Martinez explains, "Most of the work is still pre-clinical but to take it to the next level, we have to do a clinical trial. We need to involve patients so we can work directly in the wounds, either by getting samples or seeing what kind of infections they get because that's not well documented in the literature."

Arkansas Business: Grant Aims to Lure Doctors to Delta
Jan 23, 2017

"The grant is designed to work with five hospitals … because no single hospital has all of the resources they need for residency training or graduate medical education," says Dr. Barbara Ross-Lee, the vice president for health sciences and medical affairs at NYIT and inaugural site dean of NYITCOM at A-State. The grant money will be used to assess each of the five hospitals and hire someone to handle the applications to receive regulatory approval for the program, according to the article, which further notes that Shane Speights, D.O., a family practitioner in Jonesboro who was instrumental in establishing NYITCOM at A-State, has been named as Ross-Lee's successor as site dean.

Brookshield Laurent op-ed published by The Mercury News
Dec 30, 2016
Racial biases and misconceptions remain rampant in our health care system, and medical schools aren't doing enough to address the issue, writes Brookshield Laurent, D.O., assistant professor and vice chairperson, Clinical Specialties, NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYITCOM) at Arkansas State University, in an op-ed published in The Mercury News.
"Implicit bias—the unconscious negative evaluation of a particular group—can affect medical judgment in any number of ways," notes Laurent. For example, research shows doctors are more prone to negative, nonverbal cues, such as closed body language and the avoidance of eye contact, when treating black patients as compared to white patients.
"Since many of these attitudes are established long before physicians begin their careers, medical schools have a significant role to play in addressing the problem. The first step is to help students recognize their unconscious biases early," writes Laurent.
Ultimately, she concludes, "What's most important is that medical schools aggressively pursue new strategies for combatting implicit bias, and share their lessons with the larger healthcare community."

My business partner Denis Brown and I attended the Century 21 Canadian Conference in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia last week and we had an incredible experience. This was an event worth traveling across the country to attend, even if it wasn't located in the Okanogan Valley with cloudless skies.
Leadership Day was very engaging, and imformative event with numerous keynote speakers on topics ranging from Technology to Industry Trends and everything in between. The day finished up with an inspiring session with expert trainer and coach, Richard Robbins, who left us with an extensive list of new ideas on customer service and positive attitudes. It was great.
The main was event on was filled with national awards for top producing brokers and sales representatives from across the country,a fascinating interview on national industry issues with Century 21 Canada President, Don Lawby, technology and social media, and Richard Robbins main talk to close the conference!
Denis and I are looking forward to next years conference in Niagra Falls, Ontario, and encourage all Century 21 Brokers, Sales Representative, Managers, to put it in your calender for next year and make the trip. It was well worth it!

Almost Here: 56th Annual Conejo Valley Days: May 3 - 6, 2012
THOUSAND OAKS, CALIF.--The 56th Annual Conejo Valley Days (CVD), May 3 through May 6 at Conejo Creek Park South in Thousand Oaks, will mix Old West traditions with today's exciting entertainment including motocross, live band and dance nights.
Motocross extreme jumping exhibitions will be held Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 4, 5 and 6. Produced by LivFast, three shows will be held each day. Top freestyle rider Jesse Jolson will be showing off his skills at each exhibition. Festival goers will get a chance to meet the riders on Thursday, May 3 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, teens can head to the Center Stage (in the CVD carnival area) beginning at 7:00 p.m. to dance to music during CVD's "Electric Valley Nights." Local DJs including Justin Brown Johnson will host the shows that begin every two hours. "Teens can enjoy the music for awhile, go on some rides and then come back for more," says Frank Akrey, Conejo Valley Days president. "The Center Stage is in the heart of all the rides that teens love so it should be quite an experience."
Live bands performing on CVD's Open Borders stage include: The Janks, headed by brothers Zack and Dylan Zmed, (7:00 p.m.) and Bella Donna, a Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac tribute band, 8:30 p.m. on Friday, May 4, Mike Pinera, lead guitarist, singer and producer for legendary bands such as Blues Image, Alice Cooper Band and Iron Butterfly (8:00 p.m.) on Saturday May 5. and the Lovejoys performing its mix of R&B, Motown and classic rock on Sunday, May 6 beginning at noon with the Thousand Oaks All Stars.
Musicians on a Mission, a group dedicated to providing mentorships, musical instruments and other music-related resources to Conejo Valley youth, will be playing its blend of acoustic and country music during all four days of CVD.
Other happenings at CVD include "Whiskeroo" and Santa Claus Beard contests on Saturday, May 5 at 2:00 p.m. on the Ma Keeler Stage. The Whiskeroo contest is a chance for men to show off their facial hair and win prizes for the best beard, softest beard, best goatee, scroungiest beard, best mustache and most unique mustache. For the second year, a winner will be named for the best Santa beard. "We're expecting at least 20 Santas to participate making it one of the largest Santa beard contests ever," says Robert Tatangelo, who heads bother whisker contests. "It will be an interesting sight to see." Registration is free and takes place by the Ma Keeler Stage beginning at noon on Saturday.
In addition, dog trick shows will take place on Saturday and Sunday (1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.). Throughout the grounds jugglers, magicians and other entertainers will charm the crowds. Non-profit groups will raise money by hosting a dunk tank, water slide, a spider climb and water ball challenge.
"Each year, over 20 nonprofit groups from throughout the community and hundreds of volunteers take part in the festival," says Frank Akrey. "CVD is often the biggest fundraiser of the year for them. We encourage everyone to support these groups while at CVD by stopping by their game and booths."
CVD premiere sponsor Regenerate Films is a 501C3 charitable organization. Regenerate Inc. and its Open Borders performances benefit multiple non-profit organizations dedicated to teen suicide prevention, sustainability and other social issues. Regenerate Film's information and membership forms will be available at a CVD booth. "Without Regenerate Films and its Open Borders music festival pedigree, there wouldn't have been a Conejo Valley Days in 2012," says Akrey. "We are grateful for its support to CVD and its desire to maintain this wonderful hometown tradition."
Other sponsors include the Greater Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce, Reeds Furniture, Sparkletts, Line 6, Drum Workshop, Digital Imagination, GoBeDo Productions and Event Essentials.

Mothers and daughters,
My mother too is with me in my quests for hostas.
I was able to take her to Green Bay to House of Hosta. okWe got to stay up on
the executive floor, and I was able to treat her to a wonderful dinner there.
She still raves about it. I hope to make a trip to Kentucky this summer, and
I will have her with.
She has some big tests coming up in January. She is afraid she has the
beginnings of Alzheimer's. Since my father has been in a nursing home for 4
years for it...we are hoping she is not going to be going down the same path.
I am enjoying the time I have with my Mom.
I hope others don't wait till it is too late to look and see they will not be
there forever.
I too will not wait till I retire to do things...I have no idea what awaits
Live every day to the fullest. Enjoy your mate and your family..life is too
short to waste.
Have the Merriest Christmas, and Happiest New Year.
Every day is a fresh start on what ever you want to accomplish.
To sign-off this list, send email to email@example.com with the

GitHub Cofounder Resigns but Denies Harassment
"Even though the IT industry and geek culture can be innovative and progressive, the reality is it is often antiquated and backward," said 451 Research analyst Jay Lyman. "This is particularly so when it comes to workplace discrimination and harassment based on gender, sexual orientation, race, age or other factors. You would expect more from good software developers and IT professionals."

It may be successful now, but the winds of change could suddenly engulf it as they have the giants of print.
Indeed, if Mitt winds up in the White House, his Granite State getaway could save him considerable grief in the coming years.
Soon, currents and winds that now head north-to-south will switch, pushing debris on shore.
If he winds up, say, in fifth place, it will be nearly impossible for him to recapture his earlier momentum.
But the winds of change blew in from an address just down Pennsylvania Avenue.
A dreadful storm is on the main, and our ship is like a leaf in the winds.
Be rather in the trumpet's mouth,–anon Among the winds at large–that all may hearken!
Diana of Ephesus is always prepared to fling prudence to the winds for the red-nosed comedian who sits on his hat.
This and the great island of Sumatra doubtless have some influence on the winds.
The wheels rumbled, the driver rode upon the winds, so that the chariots sounded like thunder.
"air in motion," Old English wind, from Proto-Germanic *wendas (cf. Old Saxon, Old Frisian, Middle Dutch, Dutch wind, Old Norse vindr, Old High German wind, German Wind, Gothic winds), from PIE *we-nt-o- "blowing," from root *we- "to blow" (cf. Sanskrit va-, Greek aemi-, Gothic waian, Old English wawan, Old High German wajan, German wehen, Old Church Slavonic vejati "to blow;" Sanskrit vatah, Avestan vata-, Hittite huwantis, Latin ventus, Old Church Slavonic vetru, Lithuanian vejas "wind;" Lithuanian vetra "tempest, storm;" Old Irish feth "air;" Welsh gwynt, Breton gwent "wind").
Normal pronunciation evolution made this word rhyme with kind and rind (Donne rhymes it with mind), but it shifted to a short vowel 18c., probably from influence of windy, where the short vowel is natural. A sad loss for poets, who now must rhyme it only with sinned and a handful of weak words. Symbolic of emptiness and vanity since late 13c.
I have forgot much, Cynara! gone with the wind. [Ernest Dowson, 1896]Meaning "breath" is attested from late Old English; especially "breath in speaking" (early 14c.), so long-winded, also "easy or regular breathing" (early 14c.), hence second wind in the figurative sense (by 1830), an image from the sport of hunting.
"an act of winding round," 1825, from wind (v.1) . Earlier, "an apparatus for winding," late 14c., in which use perhaps from a North Sea Germanic word, e.g. Middle Dutch, Middle Low German winde "windlass."
"move by turning and twisting," Old English windan "to turn, twist, wind" (class III strong verb; past tense wand, past participle wunden), from Proto-Germanic *wendanan (cf. Old Saxon windan, Old Norse vinda, Old Frisian winda, Dutch winden, Old High German wintan, German winden, Gothic windan "to wind"), from PIE *wendh- "to turn, wind, weave" (cf. Latin viere "twist, plait, weave," vincire "bind;" Lithuanian vyti "twist, wind").
Related to wend, which is its causative form, and to wander. Wind down "come to a conclusion" is recorded from 1952; wind up "come to a conclusion" is from 1825. Winding sheet "shroud of a corpse" is attested from early 15c.
"to perceive by scent, get wind of," early 15c., from wind (n.1). Of horns, etc., "make sound by blowing through," from 1580s. Meaning "tire, put out of breath; render temporarily breathless by a blow or punch" is from 1811, originally in pugilism. Related: Winded; winding.
A current of air, especially a natural one that moves along or parallel to the ground, moving from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. Surface wind is measured by anemometers or its effect on objects, such as trees. The large-scale pattern of winds on Earth is governed primarily by differences in the net solar radiation received at the Earth's surface, but it is also influenced by the Earth's rotation, by the distribution of continents and oceans, by ocean currents, and by topography. On a local scale, the differences in rate of heating and cooling of land versus bodies of water greatly affect wind formation. Prevailing global winds are classified into three major belts in the Northern Hemisphere and three corresponding belts in the Southern Hemisphere. The trade winds blow generally east to west toward a low-pressure zone at the equator throughout the region from 30° north to 30° south of the equator. The westerlies blow from west to east in the temperate mid-latitude regions (from 30° to 60° north and south of the equator), and the polar easterlies blow from east to west out of high-pressure areas in the polar regions. See also Beaufort scale, chinook, foehn, monsoon, Santa Ana.
Related Terms
bag of wind, break wind, piss and wind, twist slowly in the wind
blowing from the four quarters of heaven (Jer. 49:36; Ezek. 37:9; Dan. 8:8; Zech. 2:6). The east wind was parching (Ezek. 17:10; 19:12), and is sometimes mentioned as simply denoting a strong wind (Job 27:21; Isa. 27:8). This wind prevails in Palestine from February to June, as the west wind (Luke 12:54) does from November to February. The south was a hot wind (Job 37:17; Luke 12:55). It swept over the Arabian peninsula. The rush of invaders is figuratively spoken of as a whirlwind (Isa. 21:1); a commotion among the nations of the world as a striving of the four winds (Dan. 7:2). The winds are subject to the divine power (Ps. 18:10; 135:7).

This is what every Internet car nerd recommends if you want cheap speed, and this is how this kind of budget build actually plays out, fuckups included. Hot Rod Garage is back with this, the Bonemaro, a '79 Camaro they found on Craigslist in a desert town with no engine. Tony Angelo talked the price down to $800, his co-presenter Lucky got a 5.3-liter 'LM7' V8 from an '02 Avalanche for about a grand, and things went from there. Advertisement Advertisement There are a lot of cool little budget tricks in here, like using window sealant to make something like a polyurethane engine mount and using a Bosch fuel pump for a Porsche 911 to get enough gas to their Chevy V8.It ain't pretty, but it works. For most of us, that's enough.Contact the author at firstname.lastname@example.com repliesLeave a reply

that's where most of my tropicals stay so I DON"T have to dig them up.

Proteins secreted by the heart are called cardiokines. After secretion, cardiokines, such as cytokines, growth promoters and stem cell homing factors affect ischemic damage, as well as stem cell survival and engraftment. But ischemia impairs protein folding and secretion, and negatively impacts stem cell-mediated regeneration. However, we discovered a secretion process that resists this inhibition, enabling the release of certain beneficial cardiokines, just when they are needed the most. The objectives of this study are to examine the functions of, and molecular mechanisms governing this secretion process in cardiac myocytes, in vitro and in vivo, and in cardiac stem cells. We discovered this process while studying the beneficial cardiokine, mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF), which resides in the endoplasmic/sarcomplasmic reticulum (ER/SR). Our hypothesis is that 1) GRP78 regulates the secretion of beneficial ER stress cardiokines from cardiac myocytes and cardiac progenitor cells by mediating the conditional retention of proteins in the ER/SR, and 2) CPCs are specially configured with a novel cytosolic form of GRP78 that enhances survival, as well as cardiokine secretion during ER stress.We will address this hypothesis by using MANF as a model cardiokine, GRP78 gain- and loss-of-function, cultured cells and mouse hearts, / AV9-mediated in vivo gene transfer, and zero-distance live cell cross linking in the following specific aims: 1- to determine the mechanism by which GRP78 regulates cardiokine secretion from cardiac myocytes, 2- to assess GRP78-regulated cardiokine secretion in the heart, in vivo, and determine the effects of disrupting this secretion on ischemic damage and regeneration, and 3- to examine the effects of GRP78 in the ER, as well as a novel, cytosolic form of GRP78 on cardiokine secretion, responses to ER stress and survival of cardiac stem cells. The results of these studies will facilitate the design of therapeutic strategies aimed at enhancing the secretion of beneficial cardiokines that minimize damage and maximize regeneration.
Due to the irretrievable loss of functional myocardium, ischemic heart disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Since paracrine function is critical for myocyte and stem cell survival during ischemia, a better understanding of secretion in the ischemic heart, which will result from the proposed studies, is required to develop new approaches for reducing tissue loss and improving stem cell-mediated myocardial regeneration.

Choices made in the reissue of many of Robert Gardner's groundbreaking films-including Dead Birds (1964), Rivers of Sand (1973), and Forest of Bliss (1986)-on DVD demonstrate how new media tools can reinvigorate questions generated by the original works and how they can provide new insight into a filmmaker's praxis. The juxtaposition of differing media and the integration of commentary track conversations in many of these works with media makers and scholars such as Stan Brakhage, Robert Fenz, Ross McElwee, Akos Ostor, and Lucien Taylor provide unique vantage points from which to view the original documentaries and reconsider the lessons they yield. Gardner's concurrent publication of his diary and production notes in the book Impulse to Preserve (2006) contextualizes and personalizes these works, showing how they fit together in a career of innovative ethnographic production that has spanned over 50 years.

'yawn' i woke up and thought was it time already for my life probably to end? once i got dressed and had breakfast etc i packed my bag and headed on out the door,as usual my mum was there to take me to school.I hugged my mum with a tight squeeze for like 5 minutes and said "I Love You".My friend's ran up to me and all they could talk about was the fight,"SHUT UP!" I shouted "I cant take this anymore with this constant talk of the fight please can we all talk about something new".I started to shed a few tears but aswell tried to stay strong."aaaaahhhh" screams came from somewhere then in an instant people started to run around the corner.I said to my friend amy "hey amy lets go check it out".We peaked around the corner and it was lucy.But before she could come and say something mean to me the bell luckily ran so everyone had to go in to our music lesson.The music teacher had a bad back so she said lets sit, then she put the radio on but a song called 'The end of your life' came on then i put my head down and started sneakily crying.
You see i couldn't tell a teacher about what was going to happen or she would kill me even more, i just wish i didn't get myself in this mess i regret everything... i thought in my head 'im a screw up'.I told my music teacher jihad to go to the bathroom she let me go, i quickly ran there. I stood infront of the mirror looked at myself.. i hated the reflection i washed my face down with water,took a big breath and said "i can do this, im not afraid" But then i heard a noise and then a big noise behind me a big bang were the door banged open by its self.In a sudden move i saw a glistening silver shadow it was..a..a ghost girl. She said "dont let it happen to you","what happen to me" i replied. Ghost girl sai to me your a new girl you only just arrived this year,Lucy was held back a year because she was so bad and didn't learn. I did exactly what you did i stood up to her and she killed me in a fight you need to get angry,think of something that makes you really angry and hit her like you never hit someone before.

Best Uses
When I opened the box I saw what looked like a bottle piercer device sticking up from the tank. This is just what I did not want. I put the package aside to call and make arrangements to return. It took a few days to have the time to actually totally unpack as my daughter was having surgery. To my surprise this middle section was removable and a replacement ring was included to make it an ordinary open tank. Great buy, works great.
Was delivered on time in excellent condition

"Dancing With the Stars" is approaching the semifinals, so who made it?
Although many felt that Bristol Palin's elimination was long overdue (last week), she survives yet again. This is your vote, America.
Sadly, although Kurt Warner surprised with his graceful waltz, he's out. He demonstrates grace in losing too. "It's not about winning and losing competitions" he says.
You're a good man, Kurt Warner.
It's kind of anticlimactic. We're not terribly surprised by his elimination. The remaining dancers are just better TV, even the ones we're not rooting for.
Case in point: Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Whether you agree or disagree with how he treated Carrie Ann Monday night (Zap2it's readers are very opinionated), he gets our tongues wagging. He addresses the situation again … and doesn't really make amends.
After Maks says something about just being cool on the show, he tells Carrie Ann, "Let's just do our jobs." Ouch. We think Tom Bergeron says it best: "Being cool lasted for 12 seconds."
So sorry to see you leave Kurt, but perhaps it's for the best. Things might get ugly under that mirrorball.
Are you okay with who left? Should it have been someone else?

Saturday, July 9 | 6 p.m. | Free
Sponsored in part by PineCone.
The Harris Brothers, a real brother duo, started playing string instruments and singing as children. Born and raised in Western North Carolina, the Harris Brothers' intuitive nature of their interaction can only be achieved via their relationship. Reggie sings and plays guitar, banjo, and a kick-drum suitcase for percussion; Ryan sings and plays the bass. A typical live show effortlessly shifts from original tunes to their own arrangements of songs.

News Flash! There's a full moon that Friday night! And the moon rising at 7:28 p.m. will be greeted by all manner of moon-struck music at the Sertoma Amphitheatre as the band recalls all the weird things that are said to happen on a full moon - more babies born, springtides, humans transmogrify into vampires, crime increases, and lunacy pervails. Really? Well, those are the myths and there's music to explore every one, even from a composer named Moon. Be sure to be there with is as we sit outdoors, absorb the music - and actually watch the Full Moon Rising.

Thermal ablation therapy can potentially offer several advantages over traditional surgery in the treatment of both benign and malignant lesions. Compared to surgery, thermal ablation can reduce the length of hospital stays and significantly reduce overall treatment cost, and may prove superior for treating deep-seated or otherwise difficult-to-reach tumors. Furthermore, the minimally-invasive nature of most thermal ablation treatments may reduce trauma and pain for patients, a particularly attractive advantage in the context of end-of-life palliative care. Heat may be delivered with lasers, RF antennas, or ultrasound transducers, and magnetic resonance (MR) thermometry has been used to monitor thermal ablations. The imaging data must help confirm whether heat is being delivered accurately at the targeted location, help determine when a lethal thermal dose has been reached at the target, and make sure that non-targeted locations are not inadvertently damaged. Demands on the imaging method are especially challenging, as good resolution is required along spatial, temporal and temperature dimensions simultaneously. While MR thermometry has been successfully used during thermal ablations of lesions seated in organs that are fairly easily immobilized, such as the brain and uterus, MR monitoring in more mobile organs such as the liver still remains a significant challenge. Especially in the context of focused ultrasound ablation, where there may not be any device or needle inserted into the body, the task of detecting and resolving motion may fall back entirely onto the imaging method. MR monitoring must then provide, in addition to good thermometry measurements, a temporal resolution sufficient to resolve the motion that occurs in free-breathing patients during treatment. The proposed work is aimed at developing an acquisition, reconstruction and display package for the MR monitoring of thermal ablations in mobile organs such as the liver, capable of providing limited 3D coverage with a temporal resolution of about 1/2 second or better. A novel pulse sequence design and reconstruction strategy is proposed, which is specifically targeted toward tackling the motion problem in MR thermometry imaging. The proposed approach can provide distortion-free 3D anatomical data with good signal-to-noise ratio as well as flexible contrast for motion tracking, while also simultaneously providing accurate temperature measurements. By exploiting the flexibility in the obtained contrast, one may preferentially highlight given internal features such as the vascular bed, thus improving the ability of registration algorithms to detect and track motion.
Thermal ablation therapy can allow the destruction of tumors in situ rather than removing them surgically, thus helping to reduce pain and suffering of patients, as well as reducing overall costs. MRI is often employed to monitor such procedures, to make sure that targeted diseased tissues are being treated properly and that no healthy tissues are being damaged. The treatment of organs such as the liver that are especially mobile during respiration has proved to be challenging. The present project aims at solving this motion problem by providing robust MRI monitoring as an effective guidance tool.

This is one of few excellent articles I found on internet, so I'd like to see some discussions. This subforum is the most relevant so I post here.
My take is that people got a lot smarter and they are more personal toward audio equipments; stuffs like Iriver's Astell&Kern brand products and a lot of recent high-end portables prove that there are still people wanting high quality music playback system.
Whether traditional hifi makers can grab and make a bridge between personal audio and hi-fi audio is completely different story though.

We asked respondents which firms they thought were the best providers of real estate products and services in their market over the past 12 months. The survey was filled in at country level and had two distinct components: Part A (performance figures) and Part B (nominations). In Part A, we asked the respondents to provide a few essential figures outlining their firms size and performance over the past 12 months. Firms providing this basic data were awarded points in their category on a pro-rata basis as outlined further below. In Part B of the survey we asked the respondents to nominate the companies that they thought were best, second and third at providing various real estate products and services in their country over the past 12 months. We awarded four, three and two points respectively to each of those nominations in that category and country. We also awarded a small number of participation points to the respondents own firm for each completed survey (maximum of three respondents per company, per country) when they nominated their peers. The overall category results were produced by aggregating the nominations from Part B, the points from Part A, and the participation points. Global and regional results are aggregates of country results. The survey was conducted from March 7 to June 4 2013. We received 775 Part A and 1,361 Part B responses, an 11% overall increase on the 663 Part A and 1,253 Part B responses in 2011. How Part A was scored to contribute to country scores First, we calculated the total Part A score for each overall category this was equal to one-third of its total Part B score. For example, if in a country we received 750 points from Part B nominations for the best developer overall category, we awarded a total of 250 points to the developer firms that submitted their Part A data for that country. We then apportioned the Part A points equally between all the scored questions (various numbers of questions are scored for the different participant types). Finally, we calculated each respondent firms Part A score, for each question, on a pro rata basis (ie, according to their figures share in the total for that question). Part A points were awarded only to firms that received at least one valid vote in the country. Any individual firms Part A score was limited to a maximum of one-third of its Part B score from nominations. How Part B was scored to contribute to country scores For each company nominated we awarded points as follows: 1st place 4 points 2nd place 3 points 3rd place 2 points When voters nominated their competitors, their own firm was also awarded participation points in their overall category score. These participation points were limited to a maximum of 18 per company, per country. Voting companies were allowed to provide up to three Part B responses in each country.

Beaumont Strata Management
Real Estate, Estate Agent, Property Management
Owners corporations, both residential and non-residential, can mitigate many rising costs, and even potentially reduce them, by actively identifying problem areas and being prepared to implement innovative measures.With the rising cost of electricity, insurance premiums, building materials, waste management and cleaning labour, inefficient stewardship could potentially lead to an increase in service costs resulting in a fall in the value of a building. Electricity Power consumption can be reduced with the addition of lighting sensors to car parks, bathrooms and corridors. Similalrly, owners with a cooling tower servicing their office building also face significant increases on their energy bills. Industry savvy operators have been able to circumvent or reduce these costs by retrofitting energy efficient devices together with implementing an after hours user pays system. Smart meters, rebates and 'going to the open market' for reduced electricity rates have also proven productive. Measures like this could save owners as much as 30 per cent in their annual energy expenses. Similarly, the industry should be at the forefront when it comes to benefitting from the forthcoming Clean Energy legislation. Managers should be conversant with carbon credits, offsets, and rebates and how they can reduce the impact and even benefit from the legislation. Insurance Another material cost is the insurance coverage that every strata and community scheme must effect. Recent claims due to storms and floods in Victoria, and cyclone and floods in Queensland, have led a number of insurers to increase premiums by up to 20 per cent. In some cases, insurers have simply declined to offer terms on properties that were not deemed profitable or too high risk. Being able to reduce or eliminate risk for the purpose of making a building more attractive to insurers, comes with technical skills and knowledge. Getting this wrong could mean the difference between owners paying (for example) $70,000 or $100,000 on a property with a building value over $70 million. In some situations, owners have found that insurers have refused to insure their property citing, amongst other things, hazardous and structural material, high-risk usage or a high claims rate. Managers need to be extremely careful when providing information to insurers. Getting this wrong could be the difference between a claim being accepted or owners having to dig into their own pockets. I am aware of one recent example where a lift broke down due to flooding. The insurance policy had coverage for machinery breakdown with a maximum of $5,000. The cost to repair amounted to $35,000. Consequently, the manager had to explain to owners why there was insufficient coverage and had to raise funds to account for the short-fall. The responsibilities that have been contracted out from the broker/underwriter to managing agents is enormous and one that may require industry comment. Meeting expectations It's vital that the strata industry improve their technical and professional services if they are going to deliver on owners' expectations. When owners place their property under an agency's management, they expect service excellence. However, many firms simply do not have the time or expertise and consequently owners may not be receiving the service they think they are paying for. The recently harmonised OH & S legislation introduced on 1 January 2012 places a prescriptive obligation on the industry that requires the controlling authority to be proactive in ensuring that strata and community schemes comply with their obligations to provide a safe work place. The legislation emphasises due diligence and makes it clear that the controlling entity could be liable for breaches of safety without an incident or accident even occurring. Leading agencies are setting new benchmarks by investing in their human resources, contractors and information technology. This enables them to deliver quality and reliable service. Combined with efficient policies and procedures, they are able to deliver to owners a return on their investment. This is a shift from the past where strata managers acted primarily as bookkeepers and secretaries and had little interest or inclination to provid proactive estate management. There is no doubt that more and more lot owners are struggling to pay their levies given the wider economic pressures on the household or business budget. While some strategies to reduce costs have an immediate upfront cost, a number can result in immediate cost savings. A savvy owners corporation (or their manager) should be able to take advantage of those. This may allow the owners corporation to reduce levies and/or enable them to save funds for major expenditure items that may crop up in the future. This is indeed an excellent opportunity to top up an under-funded sinking fund. By Ashley Bassa, Associate Director, Beaumont Strata Management
