History is something I love, because the more we learn from it, the more we understand the future.
In 1968 the Russians repeatedly told the American people "There is no way you will go to the moon, we have better technology and we haven't even thought about it, there is no way you will achieve it"….The rest as we all know is history.
History is something I love, because the more we learn from it, the more we understand the future.
We Are Ready to Laser Mark Surgical Instruments!
One of the most important task following the FDA UDI rule (Unique Device Identification) is the marking and retrofitting of each instrument inside the hospital's supply chain with a 2D DataMatrix code. This barcode is universal (It can be GS1 as well) and can be read by any barcode reader, as well by any tracking system available in the market.
Surgical instruments laser marking on site. Laser marks with ZERO rust
We have been moving the laser unit around hospitals while running some tests and most importantly, perfecting the inside process for laser marking surgical instruments.
Surgical instruments laser marking. Is is just simple science
Presenting the new NuTrace Fiber Laser exclusively designed for the SPD.
When we first started studying the physics of lasers, wavelengths, metals etc, it took me back to my early days of high school chem lab where I learned the basics of metals, the periodic table (yes, one-by-one with atomic mass, atomic number and symbol names). I was surprised back then to learn that the only element that rusts in nature is iron (Fe).
Surgical Instrument Laser Marking brings you a great control of each single instrument in the supply chain
But please make not mistake, it is one of the most sensitive variables in the instrument tracking process.
Tracking at instrument level shouldn't be painful
These days with the concerns over superbugs, prion diseases and other common issues related to instruments found in the operating room, instrument traceability is a must have. Tracking at the "Tray Level" really will not fix any of the problems above.
I want to start this article with one fact, I love my "job" and if you ask me what it is that makes me love it so much; my answer would be only one word "Learning".
Surgical laser marking-etching can be extremely complex
We received a call from an SPD manager asking us to fix some surgical laser marks done no long ago by an industrial laser provider.
Laser Marking a Nezhat Instrument Set
We received a Nezhat set from a customer as part of NuTrace Lean process implementation on site for FDA UDI.
Surgical Instrument Laser Marking, 800 Microns
We just broke our own record marking a surgical instrument (800 Microns 2D code on an irrigation needle).
We want to thanks all visitor that came to our booth at IAHCSMM 2016 in San Antonio.
Thanks to the North Carolina chapter for IAHCSMM for a great 2016 meeting.
If you are tracking at the tray level and are ready to track at the instrument level, this is your opportunity to have it all with NuTrace.
Patient sample Traceability
These days traceability is becoming a very important part of the daily healthcare schedule. When you need to look back in time to collect a patient's information, for any reason, you want to be sure everything is in one place. While also being quick and accessible for those who need it.
We will have have everything you need to know about NuTrace and our Lean Process. Our booth (1226) will include info on the planning of surgical sets, see instruments on our arrival/departure display, our R+ reader which is the fastest 2D reader in the world, and our NuTrace fiber laser.
Branding is all around you.Look inside your hospital, you will see brands popping out around you, from the soap dispenser to the instrument you are holding right now in your hand, it is all about branding.
Surgical instrument laser marking is the most efficient, easy,clean and affordable way to etch 2D barcodes on surgical instruments.
Here at NuTrace we have the technology and years of experience in DPM (Direct Part Marking) to not only provide you with state-of-the-art fiber laser technology. We seamlessly mark your own surgical instruments in-house.
Placing a 2D barcode with laser technology on surgical instruments
Laser technology is not only clean and touch-free, but compared with other technologies, extremely efficient and has no limitations.
Operation Room and Sterile Processing Department. Best Practices Managing Communication.
One of the most critical key elements for success in healthcare is communication and information management.
The convenience of laser marking on site
Nutrace has an onsite laser marking unit available to our customers.
The difference between tracking and inventory management are substantially different and seems to be a confusing topic in healthcare, especially within the instrument tracking world.
In some patients undergoing neurosurgery, a CJD diagnosis that is not suspected before the procedure may be confirmed during or after neurosurgery.
I had the pleasure of attending the North Carolina Sterile Processing meeting in Winston Salem, NC the first week of November.
If you want to see the real benefit of surgical instrument laser etching
or container's lids laser marking, just contact us,
We want to sincerely thank the Tennessee iahcsmm chapter for inviting us to their past meeting in Knoxville, TN.
We received great assistance and very positive comments from our total instrument tracking system.
We received some small instruments from a large facility in North Carolina asking us if we could place marks on them.
Welcome to NuTrace we will give you a peak of what we do in our marking lab.
We are proud to announce the version 1.0 of our 2D reader IPhone app. With it, you will be able to read 2D DataMatrix codes directly to your IPhone.
NuTrace laser to mark surgical instruments is here UDI
We are happy to announce we are testing now our new NuTrace fiber laser, first laser in the world exclusively designed for the Sterile Processing Department to laser mark quickly and inexpensively surgical instruments .
The Nutrace system, already used by hospitals in Europe, includes Belintra's passive HF RFID tags, Panmobil's handheld RFID readers and its own Stemato software for managing data.
Our instrument trays with integrated Steri-ID are made in accordance with the same quality criteria as our standard Sterisystem instrument trays.
Presenting our new RFID/2D Datamatrix reader for the hospital used. Effortlessly write and read RFID tags, place them on your trays and forget replacing for the label on the tray.
Coming this Fall, the first tabletop class 1 fiber laser specifically designed to DataMatrix surgical instruments.
NuTrace is a powerful tool not only to track at the instrument level; it can help the O.R plan the instruments to be used on patients & also helps the tech in the SPD identify and recognize every set, tray and instrument in their inventory.
More coming soon.
Sterile processing departments (SPD) are proud to have all stainless steel clean,
Coming very soon inside NuTrace instrument tracking at no additional cost RFID tags to track your sets and trays among the datamatrix marked on the instruments.
Coming soon a complete view of our process of instrument marking with fiber laser. "Marking surgical instruments is not complex, marking complex surgical instruments is our specialty"
AORN and the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) recommend that instrument sets and trays prepared for sterilization not exceed 25 pounds. This weight limit includes the combined weight of the pan and the instruments.

Marking Surgical Instruments with NuLaser
YAG laser is a safe, fast and dynamic way to mark surgical instruments.
NuTrace at NCAHCSP
Thank you to the North Carolina Association for Hospital Central Service Professionals for allowing us to participate in their conference at Myrtle Beach, SC.
At NuTrace, we see the SPD as a production line rather than another department in the hospital. Such movement of surgical instruments creates an immense amount of information, historicity and generated data. In order to optimally perform, the SPD must reign in such information to return each product to the specific client (instrument to patient).
What is instrument tracking?
The picture above shows two different DataMatrix marks:
With NuMark we have perfected a way to safely and easily....
Evaluating our NuTrace™ R+ 2D reader in a major SPD department.
For us is not just track instruments, but bringing the communication
If you need customized aluminum tags, don't look further NuTag is here.
Meet the fastest 2D DataMatrix reader in the world R+. No need to pay expensive handheld bar-codes.
We received a call from a medical facility asking us to assist them with DataMatrix on 10,000 of their instruments with the use of electrolysis.
There so many techniques in the market today for DataMatrix marking (Dot pin, Electrolysis, Spray chemical with C02 etc).
The beginning of good surgical tracking starts with a very good DataMatrix mark, been sure can be read it by 2D readers.
We will look the differences between RFID and DataMatrix.
The bacteria growing in the DataMatrix mark

Recent studies centered around instrument marking specifically etching systems have drawn red flags.
It is no secret that there are thousands of instruments with different materials, different uses,
Nutrace R+ the fastest 2D reader in the world
The NuTrace R+ has been deemed the fastest 2D reader in the world. Created for the most demanding racing teams in Formula 1, the same speed and efficiency is now available for the Sterile Processing Department.
No matter if the code is 1mm X 1mm or .001mm X .001mm, if the instrument is shiny or opaque, our reader will always register in fractions of a second.

Art History's History in Australia and New Zealand
A joint symposium organised by the University of Melbourne and the Australian and New Zealand Association of Art Historians (AAANZ)
The symposium is conceived in conjunction with the residency of Professor Richard Woodfield (University of Glasgow) who will be a visiting international fellow in the Faculty of Arts University of Melbourne from August until October 2010. Richard Woodfield is the editor of a new e-journal on art historiography and a new series of monographs in art historiography. Visit the journal here http://www.gla.ac.uk/departments/arthistoriography
The mission statement for this journal states that the editorial board will ignore the disciplinary boundaries imposed by the Anglophone expression 'art history' and allow and encourage the full range of enquiry that encompassed the visual arts in its broadest sense as well as topics now falling within archaeology, anthropology, ethnography and other specialist disciplines and approaches. It will welcome contributions from young and established scholars and is aimed at building an expanded audience for what has hitherto been a specialized topic of investigation.
The symposium will be held as the basis for a monograph that will demonstrate the strength of multiple voices involved in the practice of art history in Australia and New Zealand. The symposium is to encourage debate about a critical framework for the volume and what it should contain.
Call For Papers
What does it mean to be an art historian practicing in Australia or New Zealand? How does the region of the world we inhabit relate to what we study? When we consider the history of the discipline in Australia and New Zealand, we might review not only the formal institutions that have been developed, such as museums and university departments of art history, but also the less formal accounts produced by critics, artists and interested amateurs, as well as the research activities of certain commercial galleries, auction houses, contemporary art spaces, and indigenous art centres. What are the principal disciplinary conflicts and collaborations treated within these currents? Which specialist areas of expertise have emerged (for example, European art history, the history of Australian art, indigenous protocols, women's art, the crafts, among others)? What issues and institutions might be regarded as specifically Australian, or specific to New Zealand? Is art history practiced in distinctive ways in different places? What does art history mean in polycentric Australia, whether in Adelaide, Cairns, Yirrkala, Sydney, Wellington, Auckland, Canberra, Christmas Island, Christchurch, or Melbourne? How does art history as practiced in Australia and New Zealand relate to historical currents in art history as a discipline?
The symposium will provide opportunities for scholars in art history to reflect critically on what they do and to define how certain distinctive patterns have emerged within our national cultures. It is our intention to argue for an inclusive form of art history-one that embraces the creation of art in its broadest sense and relates, if and when relevant, to archaeology, anthropology, and other disciplines. All intending paper givers should be members of the AAANZ; only current members will be invited to speak.
Expressions of interest can be registered on the AIHA website http://www.artinstitute.unimelb.edu.au/events/art_historys/eoi

Lexus has finally dropped the curtain on its special-edition LFA Nürburgring. Word on the street is there's an additional 10 horsepower on tap from the beastly V10, nudging the final figure to over 562 ponies. Lexus managed to get the LFA to 62 mph in around 3.7 seconds and net a top speed of 202 mph in spite of the car's higher down force. If you want one, you better start bribing people now. The company plans on handing out just 50 examples within the standard LFA run of 500 units. (via)

Yesterday I blogged about my mad love for my iPod Touch as a digital reader and the reasons why I wouldn't buy a dedicated e-book reader.
Today I ordered a Nook.
Yeah, I know. But apparently one of my personalities let one of my other personalities touch the debit card.
The good news: as soon as it gets here you can get a review of the Nook from the point of view of a totally technically-inept reader.
Why the Nook instead of the Kindle? 1) I can read digital books bought directly from eHarlequin on the Nook (that's the rumor, anyway) and 2) I can still buy books at Fictionwise and read them on the Nook.
Why not use the Sony 505? I wanted the Nook or the Kindle because I have the Kindle app and the BN eReader app and they both claim to sync across devices. After ordering the Nook I discovered it syncs books, but not the last page read, which makes the function all kinds of useless. But at the time, that was a deciding factor—the ability to hop back and forth from e-ink to backlit at will.
Anyway. We'll see how it goes.
UPDATE: I've also found out that—I think—it will only sync B&N-bought books across to the eReader app, which means not the books I buy directly from eHQN. That's kind of a bummer. But there are only a few authors I just HAVE to take advantage of that early release benefit for, so I'll live. Without the syncing, it probably doesn't seem sensible not to stick with the Sony but, to be honest, I don't like the button placement on the Sony 505. We'll see if I like the Nook's better.

Are you ready to discover mills, tilt hammers, furnaces, quarries, castles and dry-stone walls? The path of marvels in the Malcantone region will whisk you back in time. You'll appreciate both the genius of humankind and the beauty of the landscape. You'll cross woods and hamlets, and admire heritage that never vanished. Be prepared to be amazed by this walk, in the company of your entire family.
This themed circuit itinerary, with its starting and finishing point at Novaggio, offers a string of fascinating glimpses into the heritage of a place where men lived and struggled for countless generations. The structures that grew out of the need to survive, first allowed the local population to grow their essential foods and then permitted them to begin to trade.
The route unwinds along the Magliasina stream. From the village's parking area you follow the signs, passing on the lower side of the village and continuing on along via Vinéra. Once you reach the last of the houses, go down the valley taking the road supported by dry- stone walls and arrive at the restored Vinéra mill. The dry-stone walls circumscribed the ancient road linking Novaggio to Miglieglia, a little village located further down the valley. After leaving Vinéra mill, cross a pretty little wooden bridge and climb until a crossing with a route to Casé. Mining exploration was undertaken here in 1918, following a vein of quartz and antimonite, but the lack of results led to a rapid cessation of the work. Continuing onwards, you reach Tinevalle, where metallic mineral veins were exploited prior to working being suspended in 1919. Not far from Tinevalle you find the Baglioni and Franzi mines, which contain small quantities of gold and silver.
Next along the path is what remains of Miglieglia castle, part of an ancient fortification network; you'll also discover some terraced fields where people used to grow rye. The path carries on towards the Aranno mallet, used in the working of large pieces of iron. Begin your return journey here. You can still visit the Monda mine, the Aranno mills and go back down toward the Magliasina river to stop at the so-called "ponte di Aranno" mine. Last stop before reaching the end of the trail is the Castello furnace, before finally arriving back in Novaggio.
To explore the route, we recommend buying the official maps of the Federal Office of Topography Swisstopo. In addition, the following website map.geo.admin.ch offers constantly updated data.

When Shocking Stories No Longer Shock Us
It's been eight years since I talked to my mom. That's because she's dead.... My parents used to fight a lot, even hit. One night things got really out of control. I stayed in my room as my parents went at it, yelling, screaming, hitting.... I guess my dad grabbed a pistol. I heard two shots and then silence.....
It is the first paper Shannon writes for me in September. The topic: regret. Shannon regrets that she did not interfere that night. She thinks, If only I had come out of my room.
I read the paper again, trying to reconcile the image I have of a terrified seven-year-old with that of smiling Shannon, a delicate girl with sparkly eyes and a button nose - a nose, she writes, that matches her mom's. I tell myself that maybe the story isn't true; perhaps it's the product of too many afternoons spent watching soaps. But the details are so compelling. It is a story Shannon knows and one that she has shared with me. I lie awake that night wondering what to say to her.
She's lolling against her locker in the morning. "Shannon," I begin. Her eyes travel to the paper in my hand. Words knot in my throat.
Shannon is bright. She sums it all up in a second. "It's not true," she says.
She claps a hand over her mouth. "You didn't think it was true, did you?" She laughs. And suddenly I'm laughing too - with embarrassment, relief, and sheer joy that she has not suffered so.
The buzz at the start of class tells me that Shannon has spread the story. As I hand back papers, the students eye me, jubilant to discover that a teacher could be this dumb.
I let them enjoy the joke but then call them back to Shannon. "You should congratulate her," I tell them. "She wrote such a convincing story, I couldn't help but believe it."
"Read it," they clamor. "Let's see."
Shannon nods permission and I begin. The students listen spellbound, and I finish to the silence that powerful writing provokes.
"Y'know," someone finally ventures, "it is a lot like what happened to Erin. That's why she lives with her aunt now."
"Yeah," Kevin chimes in, "and remember Danny? He was right there when his grandfather shot his dad."
Their voices swirl around me, and I feel a terrible sadness. Here I am in a suburban classroom, in a corner of the world deemed far safer than most, and my 15-year-olds are calmly discussing the murderers they've met.
So another night I lie awake. Something bothers me, something even stronger than the sadness that loss of innocence and life evokes. Horror, sadness, fear, confusion - emotions tangle about me - and then suddenly I understand. The one thing I am not feeling - have never felt since I first read Shannon's story - is shock. Ten years ago, I would have been so shocked by Shannon's words that I would have been sure they were fiction. Ten years ago, I would have heard the classroom conversation as teenagers telling taller tales among themselves.
Yet now, on the edge of the 21st century, I seem incapable of shock, and the absence of that emotion makes me ache. But it is hard to feel shock these days, when the cumulative folders of students bulge not with test scores and transcripts but with family history and pain. Hard when mothers produce restraining orders, when fathers call from jail, when siblings are in rehab, and when a child's life is measured by court dates.
When all these things are commonplace, then anything seems possible. And so I lie awake, nostalgic for the time when I could say, "This cannot be."

Children who do more physical activity are likely to improve their health and it might also help them improve their school grades. Those are the findings of recent research from Sweden which suggest that doubling the amount of time spent doing physical education at school has an impact on children's academic achievement. Schools and parents are often urged to do more to improve children's physical activity – and the growing body of research on the links between PE and success at school might be just the carrot they need.
Physical inactivity is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide, an issue which urgently needs to be addressed. Current recommendations state that children and young people should be doing at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day at an intensity which is enough to increase the heart rate.
Generation of inactive children
But around the world, the number of children achieving these recommendations is low. A 2012 survey conducted by the World Health Organisation found that only 23% of 11-year-olds were doing the recommended levels of physical activity, a figure that varies greatly between countries. Italy was one of the worst-performing countries, where 10% of boys and 7% of girls reported doing at least 60 minutes of physical activity, compared with Ireland, the top performer, where 43% of boys and 31% of girls reported doing at least an hour a day.
The beneficial impact that physical activity has on our health has been well reported, so it's surprising that so few young people are meeting the recommendations. As well as the health benefits, research has found that physical activity can have a positive impact on psychological factors such as depression and self-esteem in both adults and children.
Research has also shown that physical activity is beneficial for academic success. The recent Swedish study published in the Journal of School Health, reports that increasing the amount of physical activity school pupils were doing led to improvements in academic achievement.
Improving success rates
The study conducted by Lina Käll, Michael Nilsson and Thomas Lindén, involved all pupils of an elementary school taking part in "play and motion" activities run by a local sports clubs. Two sessions of activities lasting 30-45 minutes were embedded into the school schedule in addition to the two hours of physical exercise a week that was part of the regular timetable.
The researchers examined information about the number of children at the school meeting national learning goals in Swedish, Maths and English over a four-year period prior to the exercise programme starting and then five years after the programme started. The performance of the school was then compared to the performance of three other schools from areas with similar socio-economic characteristics in terms of education, average income, unemployment and foreign citizenship.
The results suggest that pupils at the school who took part in the exercise programme were twice as likely to meet the national learning goals in all three subjects, compared with pupils at the schools which did not increase physical activity. So doubling the amount of physical activity during school time increased the proportion of pupils achieving these academic goals.
This is an exciting finding given the need to encourage increases in physical activity – and it is one which echoes other research in this area. But the study does have some limitations. Importantly, the amount of physical activity that children were doing outside of school was not examined either before the programme started or during it. This is a problem because the levels of physical activity may have been particularly low prior to the programme starting for example, or may have decreased in the control schools. The gender composition of the schools was not taken into account either.
The Swedish study does however highlight that dedicating more time to PE in schools is certainly not detrimental to attainment, a finding which has been reported consistently.
Recent work by myself and colleagues has demonstrated the long-term impact of higher intensity physical activity. Increases of roughly 15 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity at the age of 11 were related to increased performance in academic subjects five years later. Yet this finding was in the context of relatively low levels of physical activity and differing patterns emerged for girls and boys. These factors should therefore be taken into account when planning further school-based interventions.
Keep PE in the curriculum
Schools are under increasing pressure to raise attainment of pupils, but unfortunately in many school systems this has meant reducing time spent on PE so that more time is available for academic subjects. Demonstrating that increases in PE can also be beneficial for academic success lends support for arguments against cutting it out of the timetable.
Further research is needed to fully explain the reasons why physical activity can lead to improvements in attainment, but increasing evidence now supports this positive relationship. Perhaps this is the catalyst needed to make meaningful and sustained increases in physical activity by young people.

Conflicted Hearts: A Daughter's Quest for Solace from Emotional Guilt
by D.G. Kaye
"Conflicted Hearts" is a wonderful insight of a girl growing up with an unavailable mother and father lost in that world. I could easily relate to the role of caretaker being thrust on a young girl and the guilt she carried. The blame her paternal grandparents had toward her because her father had to marry her mother was heavy, as was her parents' on and off living arrangements and mother's self-absorption toward her children. The guilt followed Ms. Kaye into adulthood, as she always tried to do the right thing. I appreciated how mistakes made had given her the lessons needed. One situation that made me cringe was during a trip to Greece and a broken foot. But people came into her life just when they were needed. I found that very heartening. It was hard to read about the abusive relationship she ended up in, and I was relieved when they parted ways. I loved watching the author make her way to her happily ever after. I found this an inspiring journey of how Ms. Kaye navigated her home life and then left it behind to find herself and love. I highly recommend this memoir. Five-Stars.
THE INTRUDER: A Short Thriller
I was immediately drawn into the life of Serenity. Her name fit her peaceful existence until she found some pictures on her cell phone. I admit it would terrify me to discover what Serenity did, and her reaction felt very real to me. This quick read had a twist at the end that was a surprise. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Smith. Four-Stars

Gabriella finds a glowing crystal ball that shows her the face of a man. Once it's in her possession, things begin to happen to her, including meeting the man whose face she saw, Christopher. I love the relationship that grows between Gabriella and Tamara, or Christopher's aunt. Ned the dog and Jericho, the cat, are favorites of mine too. I worried about their wellbeing the entire story. Gabriella and Christopher love and hate each other, but fairy magic has an agenda of its own. It's the greed, jealousy, love, and magic that weaves this into an exciting read, but Gabriella's obsession with the crystal made it a page-turner as she tries to survive. "The Crystal" is a romantic thriller filled with lots of fey magic that I highly recommend. Five-Stars
I only post my 4 & 5-star reviews. If I don't like a book, I won't finish it. It doesn't feel right leaving a review in that case, but I have been known to email the author:) Life is too short not to enjoy every book you read!
Embrace your inner child by reading a good book! 🙂 D. L. Finn

According to a new profile from The Hollywood Reporter, director Zack Snyder might not be totally done with superheroes once his Justice League movies are wrapped up. His next superhero won't be a weak-willed socialist like Superman who wastes his time helping regular people who are too stupid to help themselves, though. He'll be a proper, square-jawed tough guy who doesn't give a damn about anything but enormous phallic metaphors and his own indisputable greatness.
If that all sounds a little Ayn Rand-y, it's because that's exactly what it is. In his downtime, Snyder has apparently been working on a new movie version of The Fountainhead, Rand's heartwarming ode to how some people are simply better than others (and also that non-consensual sex is sometimes okay). Snyder says that the book is "a thesis on the creative process and what it is to create something," which is a concept that must really resonate with him as a guy who almost exclusively makes comic book adaptations. Snyder also notes that Warner Bros. owns the rights to Ayn Rand's original Fountainhead screenplay, so he has "been working on that a little bit"—which is an interesting thing to say about a story that's based on how one man's utterly perfect vision is destroyed when other people step in and corrupt it with their own ideas.
Of course, there is the possibility that Snyder doesn't really care what Rand would've thought and he just thinks The Fountainhead is cool story about a guy who makes awesome skyscrapers. That's about the same level of depth he brought to his Watchmen adaptation, his 300 adaptation, and all of his other movies, so maybe his Fountainhead will be less about celebrating a gross ideology and more about how badass it is to see a guy design buildings in slow-motion. Even Ayn Rand (especially Ayn Rand) would agree that having Fountainhead protagonist Howard Roark constantly shirtless and covered in sweat would be an improvement on the original.

Schnader Salutes Dr. Virginia Apgar, an Unsung Woman Hero, in Honor of International Women's DayOn March 13, 2020 by Schnader in News
In honor of International Women's Day 2020, each day this week we will be sharing stories of unsung women who have made great changes in the world.
Virginia Apgar, born in 1909, was an American obstetrical anesthesiologist, known for her invention of the APGAR Score, a method to quickly predict newborn survival, reduce infant mortality, and evaluate a newborn's transition to life outside the womb. In 1933, she graduated fourth in her class from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons (P&S), and then went on to complete a residency in surgery there as well. While completing her residency, Dr. Allen Whipple, chairman of surgery at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, discouraged Apgar from a career in surgery citing that many women attempt to become surgeons but fail. Instead, he suggested that she practice anesthesiology.
Apgar was the first woman to head a specialty division at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center and P&S, and with the assistance of Whipple, Apgar founded P&S's anesthesia division. Due to America's entrance into World War II, many medical professionals enlisted in the military. This caused staffing issues throughout domestic hospitals, Apgar's included. When the war ended in 1945, many physicians became interested in anesthesiology. Due to the specialty's growing popularity, P&S established the anesthesiology division as an official department in 1949. Apgar was not selected as the head of the department because of her lack of research; instead, she was given a faculty position at P&S.
In 1949, Apgar was the first woman to become a full-time professor at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. During this time, she conducted clinical research at Sloane Hospital for Women. In 1953, she introduced the Apgar Score, and in 1963, the acronym APGAR was coined for the scoring system as a mnemonic learning aid: Appearance (skin color), Pulse (heart rate), Grimace (reflex irritability), Activity (muscle tone), and Respiration. The score is still used today, providing an accepted and convenient method for assessing and reporting the health of a newborn infant immediately after birth and helping to determine if immediate medical care is needed.
Schnader salutes Virginia Apgar and we are inspired by her contributions to medicine.

Lung cancer is diagnosed using a series of diagnostic tests to help identify the type of lung cancer you may have and ways to treat cancer.
Once diagnosed, there are several treatment options to consider. Many treatment options can be very successful but the key to treating lung cancer is to catch it early.
Diagnosing Lung Cancer
There are many different ways to diagnose lung cancer. Sometimes lung cancer is diagnosed incidentally or accidentally after a regular chest X-Ray.
The most common way to diagnose is through a CT scan also known as a CAT Scan. There are two types of CAT scan's used to help diagnose lung cancer.
Medicare now reimburses hospitals and imaging centers for Low Dose Lung Screening CT's. The Low Dose Screening CT (LDSCT) is a lot like a screening mammogram except it is a screening test for lungs rather than a screening test for breasts. The criteria used to qualify for an LDSCTinclude:
- No symptoms
- Ages 55 – 77
- Currently smoking or have quit smoking within the last 15 years
- A 30 pack or greater years history of smoking (an average of one pack a day for 30 years)
- An order from a physician or a qualified non-physician practitioner (NP, APRN, PA)
A diagnostic CT scan is performed when you experience symptoms related to your lungs. Symptoms include:
- A Cough that won't quit, does not go away or get worse
- Coughing up blood or a rust-colored sputum, spit, or phlegm
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain that is worse during deep breathing, coughing or even laughing
- Hoarseness in your voice
- Weight loss or loss of appetite
- Feeling tired or weak
- Wheezing
As with all cancers, lung cancer is diagnosed with a biopsy of the area where suspected cancer cells are seen on the imaging tests.
There are a couple of ways to access areas of the lungs with suspicious cells. For example, physicians use a bronchoscopy, a transthoracic biopsy, Endobronchoscopic Ultrasound (EBUS), Mediastinoscopy, and finally lung surgery.
A Bronchoscopy (pronounced bron-cos-scopeee) is a procedure where a pulmonologist, also known as a lung doctor, inserts a flexible scope through your nose and down into your lungs.
The lit scope is used as a periscope allowing the lung doctor to see into your airways which lets them navigate your air passages. Once the lung doctor reaches the suspicious area they can snake a needle through the scope and obtain a sample of suspected cancerous cells.
A transthoracic biopsy is a procedure where a specialized radiologist inserts a needle from the outside of your lung, through the skin, through the chest wall and into the area where the suspicious cells are located. Make sure that you ask the radiologist to numb the skin enough so you do not feel any pain.
An Endobronchoscopic ultrasound (EBUS) is similar to a bronchoscopy but it uses ultrasound waves to identify the location of the suspicious cells. Once the suspicious area is located, a needle can be inserted to get a sample of the suspected cancer cells.
A Mediastinoscopy is a procedure performed by a surgeon. The procedure starts with a small incision (cut) above the collarbone in between the first, second, or third rib. The surgeon then inserts a special tube into the mediastinum.
The mediastinum is the space in your chest which contains your heart, your aorta, and other great vessels, along with your esophagus, trachea, cardiac nerves, your thymus, and lymph nodes. During a mediastinoscopy, the surgeon can see your lymph nodes surrounding your heart and allows the surgeon to biopsy the lymph nodes.
Surgery is a way to remove the suspicious cancer cells from your lung where they can be analyzed by a pathologist. A surgical approach is common for patients with early-stage lung cancer.
During surgery, the surgeon has the opportunity to see the outside of the lung which helps them identify the suspicious area and remove suspected cancer cells.
Tumor Markers
Once the suspected cancer cells are removed, they can be analyzed to help the cancer care team to choose the correct treatment specific to your lung cancer. We already know that there are three types of lung cancer including non-small cell, small cell, and lung carcinoid carcinoma.
Cancer cells contain mutated genes which control how the cells work. Over time, the genes of normal cells can change or mutate. The genes change as a result of your exposure to carcinogens from our external environment. Some genes that change in lung cancer include:
- epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)
- anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase (ALK)
- ROS proto-oncogene #1, receptor tyrosine kinase (ROS1)
- Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS)
- B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF)
Additionally, some lung cancer tumors produce a protein called Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) which can bind to your normal immune cells turning on your immune system staying active and working to fight cancer.
While there are other tumor markers the ones mentioned above are common to lung cancer. The description of each tumor marker is complex and difficult to understand.
The best way to help you understand and the way your lung cancer care team will describe your tumors markers will be by its symbol. For example, EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, KRAS, along with PD-L1 are common to lung cancer.
Targeted Therapies
According to the "Targeted Therapy for Lung Cancer: A Guide for the Patient" sponsored by the Lung Cancer Alliance, targeted therapies are aimed at a particular "target" in the cancer cell with the primary goal of stopping the growth of cancer cells.
Targeted therapies spare the rest of the body from the toxic side effects experienced with many chemotherapy treatments. Most targeted therapies come in pill form and are specific to the genetic change of the lung cancer cell. While targeted therapies have fewer toxic side effects, they can cause a severe rash and diarrhea.

Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)
Joan Schiller M.D. Chief of Hematology and Oncology at the University of Texas explains that radiotherapy also called radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to stop cancer cells from growing or multiplying by damaging a cancer cells DNA.
Schiller goes on to state that, radiotherapy treatment is carefully planned to deliver as much radiation as possible while preventing as little damage to your normal surrounding cells. The combination of a physician (Radiation Oncologist), a physicist, and a dosimetrist works to maximize treatment and minimize side effects.
SBRT gives the Radiation Oncologist an ability to give an even higher dose, more accurately allowing for a focused treatment with minimal side effects.
SBRT also allows for less radiation being delivered to other surrounding organs like the heart, trachea, lymph nodes, or esophagus.

Jazz in the Time of Corona
When news of a possible pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus arrived in the U.S. this spring, no one could predict the extent to which this outbreak would affect society overall.
One casualty of the pandemic has been the performing arts. With the imposing of social restrictions, organizations that depended on audience revenues were immediately devastated. From large venues like the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts to the small community arts groups, everyone has been affected. Most organizations face series budget shortfalls that will result in major cuts or total dissolution. A new proposed city budget would completely eliminate arts funding.
The Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz & the Performing Arts has been in a similar dilemma as most of the cultural arts organizations in Philadelphia. It is known both for presenting concerts by internationally renowned jazz artists and its highly regarded music education program. As with other cultural organizations, the Clef Club has been forced to develop alternatives in lieu of presenting live concerts and teaching students.
But the organization has been able to develop systems to maintain its educational programs, which includes a working partnership with the world-famous Berklee College of Music in developing a Music Production curriculum. The Clef Club now presents all of its classes in a virtual setting, which includes instrumental lessons, and classes in theory, composing, and improvisation. Artistic and Educational Director Lovett Hines is pleased with the way faculty and students have been able to switch from live to virtual interaction. "The students have shown the ability to handle this crisis situation," stated Hines. "Since we made this change we have been able to keep student level, as well as increase the number of participants." Hines is the recipient this spring of a leadership award from the Arts & Business Council. The awards ceremony will also be online.
The Clef Club is finding it more difficult to replace its concert series, which is a major piece of its programs. The pandemic shutdown caused the cancellation of two potential blockbuster sets featuring Pharoah Sanders, James Carter, and Steve Turre. Hines indicated that he and the production staff have been working on some possible alternatives to live performances. "We have been exploring ways we can present the music," declared Hines. "We have been looking at live-streaming concerts, holding Master Classes with some of our more renowned alumni, and even broadcasting videos of previous concerts. Right now we are looking at all the possibilities."
The historic Settlement Music School has made similar adjustments to the pandemic shutdown and pivoted to online learning on March 13. In addition to offering distance learning in a variety of ways to students, Settlement's Marketing Director Megan Looby says the School is streaming three, free online classes each week, in addition to waiving registration fees for new students interested in a four-week online individual lesson package. "We realize that now is the time that our students likely need arts the most," Looby said. "So we want to be able to provide an outlet that will help keep them engaged, connected, and hopeful."
Jazz producer Leo Gadson is facing an entirely different set of problems for his programs. For 45 years Gadson has been bringing some of the great talents in modern jazz to the West Philadelphia Community as the architect of the Lancaster Avenue Jazz festival, as well as a successful concert series at the Community Education Center (CEC). "Our main problem," Gadson stated, "Is that our programming entirely consists of live performances. When the City ordered the shutdown of all performance venues, our first dilemma was the total cancellation of our concert series. So we have had to consider alternatives to our regular mode of operation." Gadson's options really depend on the degree to which the City will lift restrictions on performing venues.
Uncertainty lies ahead for all arts organizations, and advocacy efforts have started all over the city to help save the Office of Arts Culture & Creative Economy and the Philadelphia Cultural Fund, which has been a grantor to some of these organizations. You can make your voice heard by contacting your City Councilperson and if you're in need of resources to help navigate the pandemic, please visit our crisis resource page.

The Bernie Sanders candidacy didn't die a natural death — it was murdered. And the murder weapon has the fingerprints of the Washington Post all over it.
That's the contention of the much-respected progressive writer Thomas Frank (author of the beloved-by-the-left book "What's the Matter With Kansas?") in an evisceration of the media's role in taking down Sanders that will be the cover story of the November issue of Harper's.
Frank went through every one of hundreds of opinion pieces published in the Washington Post on Sanders and Hillary Clinton, his rival for the Democratic nomination for president, during primary season, from January to May 2016, and found a stark disparity in coverage. Sanders pieces took a negative tone by a ratio of 5 to 1, whereas opinion pieces on Clinton were about evenly split between favorable and unfavorable.
Newspapers can take whatever editorial stance they wish, but Frank sees in the Washington Post the epitome of Beltway bluestocking insider liberalism — pro-Wall Street, globalist, technocratic and white-collar. The vehemence with which these writers denounced Sanders suggested to Frank a primal loathing: "In Bernie Sanders and his 'political revolution,' on the other hand, I believe these same people saw something kind of horrifying: a throwback to the low-rent Democratic politics of many decades ago … to the affluent white-collar class, what he represented was atavism, a regression to a time when demagogues in rumpled jackets pandered to vulgar public prejudices against banks and capitalists and foreign factory owners. Ugh."
Frank cites headlines that ran over opinion pieces that said things like, "NOMINATING SANDERS WOULD BE INSANE" (days before the Iowa caucuses) and "A CAMPAIGN FULL OF FICTION" (the same week). Columnist Charles Lane ridiculed Sanders for suggesting that he was fighting against "the billionaire class" that largely seems comfortable with a Hillary Clinton presidency while other writers castigated Sanders for lacking a serious plan to tackle the deficit (as though Hillary Clinton has one either).
Sanders' anti-TARP stance, though it resonated with millions of Americans, struck the WaPo opinion writers as nuts. Where, asks Frank, was the bailout for ordinary homeowners? "Instead, Main Street America saw trillions in household wealth disappear" while the big banks were made whole.
Sanders, Frank believes, just couldn't catch a break from the political class's hometown bulletin. "On and on it went, for month after month, a steady drumbeat of denunciation. The paper hit every possible anti-Sanders note, from the driest kind of math-based policy reproach to the lowest sort of nerdshaming — from his inexcusable failure to embrace taxes on soda pop to his awkward gesticulating during a debate with Hillary Clinton."
Do elite Ivy League-educated pundits such as those who write editorials and op-eds for the Washington Post even care about the striving classes beneath them? About stagnating wages and outsourced jobs? To Frank, Sanders never got a fair hearing from the liberal press about his ideas. "Rather than grapple with his ideas," he writes, "they simply blew the whistle and ruled them out of bounds."

Richard MacManus at ZD Net Blogs has a great post about the coming web office, in which he argues that Google is much better positioned to succeed at creating a web office – simply because it's a native web company, and Microsoft is not.
Note: the web office is coming, but not coming soon – as MacManus states:
My basic Web Office premise is that office software will slowly but surely migrate to the Web.
As I was reading his post, something occured to me about printing.
Printing has been one of the things that an installed, desktop software tool has always been better at than anything web. And actually, that might continue to be true.
But I wonder: how important will printing be? I think that when we are working on some kind of web office application, printing will actually, finally, long-awaitedly go (mostly) away.
Printing will be replaced by publishing.
Why print when you can just publish? And the web office will publish automatically, bloggishly. RSSishly. Mashupishly.
I don't know anyone who is web-savvy who prints out web pages anymore – something I saw a lot of just 5 or 6 years ago. Bookmark it. If the page moves, Google still has a copy. If Google doesn't, maybe the Wayback Machine does. Really paranoid? Save it to your hard disk.
I think the same will happen with documents. Why do you print? Well, sometimes I print to give myself a better view of what I need to edit. That may not go away. But mostly I print to share.
When sharing's built in, printing goes away. And when work is done online (web office), you publish instead of printing.

India polypropylene producers lower offers second time in Aug amid poor demand
admin publish 2015/8/19 14:20:53
India's polypropylene producers reduced offers in the domestic market for the second time in August and also extended a price protection scheme for customers until August 31, citing poor demand, industry sources said late Monday.
This follows a sharp decline in CFR South Asia prices, with PP raffia sliding $55/mt from July 29 to be assessed at $1,095/mt on August 12, according to Platts data.
Reliance Industries Limited, Indian Oil Corporation and other major producers announced new domestic PP offers August 13 for September-loading cargoes, at around Rupees 81,000/mt ex-plant, which is equivalent to $1,105/mt on an import parity basis and down about Rupees 2,000/mt ($51/mt) from August 1 levels.
"This is a down time as far as [PP] consumption is concerned," a major Indian producer said. "No deals have been heard in the last 5-10 day period, with the yuan [depreciation] crisis, and our own [Indian rupees] currency devaluation. No sentiment for buying," he added.
The price protection scheme will cover domestic clients until August 31, whereby producers have agreed to refund the difference in purchase price if offers were lowered before the next scheduled offer announcement early September, according to industry sources.
Indian producers generally issue fresh offers at the beginning of a month, unless prices move quickly enough to warrant a price correction during the month.
