Electroceuticals/Bioelectric Medicine Market Analysis by Segments, Size and Forecast 2016 - 2024
Press Release • Jan 25, 2017 10:01 EST
Electroceuticals are medical devices that affect changes in body functions by utilizing electrical impulses. Electroceuticals act as an alternative to drug-based remedies, and are expected to be the future gold standard of treatment of various diseases. Unlike other stimulators of the muscles or tissues, electroceuticals act on the basis of neurostimulation, which is the modulation of the nervous systems using electrical impulses. Current treatment options in several neurological disorders and other disease states depend upon drug-based medications, which are associated with considerable side effects and promises of delivery of results are not yet totally fulfilled. Electroceuticals have found applications in various diseases and disorders and are effective in treatment of these conditions in both invasive and non-invasive methods. These are considered a genuine replacement of drug-based medications in future.
The global electroceuticals/bioelectric medicine market is segmented based on product, device type, end-user, application, and region. In terms of product, the global electroceuticals/bioelectric medicine market is segmented into cardiac pacemakers, deep brain stimulators, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, cochlear implants, spinal cord stimulators, vagus nerve stimulators, and others. The implantable cardioverter defibrillators segment accounted for the largest share of the global electroceuticals/bioelectric medicine market. Based on end-user, the global electroceuticals/bioelectric medicine market is segmented into hospitals, clinics, home care settings, and others. In terms of device type, the global electroceuticals/bioelectric medicine market is segmented into non-invasive electroceuticals and implantable electroceuticals. The implantable electroceuticals segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market. However, the non-invasive electroceuticals segment is projected to expand at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Based on application, the global electroceuticals/bioelectric medicine market is segmented into arrhythmias, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord disorders, and other applications.

Increasing global geriatric population, rising cost pressures of drug based medicines, growing interest from major pharmaceutical players in the electroceuticals segment, and increasing incidence and prevalence of neurological disorders and chronic diseases across the world are some of the factors likely to boost the growth of the global electroceuticals market during the forecast period. Major players such as GlaxoSmithKline plc have made significant investments in the electroceuticals segment and other organizations such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the U.S. have shown great interest in the field of electroceuticals. Increasing incidence of neurological disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson's diseases, and other chronic diseases are expected to augment the electroceuticals/bioelectric medicine market during the forecast period from 2016 to 2024.
In terms of region, the global electroceuticals/biomedicine market is segmented into five regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. The market in Asia Pacific is expected to expand at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period due to higher prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hearing loss due to rapidly increasing geriatric population in China, Japan, and India, increasing incidence of neurological disorders, and rising adoption of neurostimulation techniques. North America dominated the global electroceuticals/bioelectric medicine market in 2015 owing to factors such as increasing adoption of neurostimulation techniques, new and technologically advanced products being introduced, rising awareness about electroceuticals/bioelectric medicine, and increasing neurological and chronic diseases.
Key players in the electroceuticals/bioelectric medicine market are Boston Scientific Corporation, Cochlear Limited, Medtronic plc, St. Jude Medical, Inc., Biotronik, Sonova Holding AG, LivaNova plc, ElectroCore LLC, Nevro Corporation, and Second Sight Medical Products, Inc. Other pharmaceutical companies such as GlaxoSmithKline plc have invested in the electroceuticals market, with increased focus on bringing new miniaturized electroceutical devices in the market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about the Woops! franchise opportunity
How much does a Woops! franchise cost?
With the initial investment starting at $79,875 for a macaron kiosk and $197,725 for an in-line bakeshop, Woops! offers investors a low-entry cost with a high potential return. Our in-line bakeshops generated average sales of $32,017 a month in 2017, and our average kiosk franchise generated $309,000 in sales in the same year. Woops! franchisees can invest with confidence.
What is the difference between a kiosk and a bakeshop?
The macaron kiosk and the in-line bakeshop are our two franchise options.
The bakeshop is a store with a footprint of 400 to 1,000 square feet that serves our complete line of more than 20 flavors of macarons, all 30+ of our international pastries, plus our branded coffee and grab-and-go sandwiches. This investment is significantly higher and requires more extensive training to ensure that our franchisees get the tools to run a successful bakeshop franchise.
Our macaron kiosk franchises are designed to win over the millions of customers who visit the malls and other high-traffic venues across America. Our beautiful kiosks come packed with practical features such as refrigeration and a self-contained sink so that you can serve, store and manage your inventory with ease. Woops! has developed relationships with five of the largest mall companies in America, who are chomping at the bit for Woops! to enter their marketplace. Investment for a kiosk is significantly lower than that for the bakeshop franchise. It requires fewer employees and is easy to manage.
How much liquid capital do I need?
An overview of our startup costs can be found here.
What prior experience do I need to buy a bakery franchise for sale?
While you do not need baking experience to franchise with Woops!, we recommend that you have a proven track record of managerial experience, an entrepreneurial spirit and the drive to follow our proven business model as you bring Woops! to your community.
Do I have to bake my own goods?
Only the owners of a Woops! in-line bakeshop model will do a moderate amount of light baking, which they will learn during intensive training at a Woops! bakeshop location. Woops! operates an artisanal bakery in New York City that hand-produces all of our products. They then are fast-frozen and shipped swiftly to our franchisees. This model allows our in-line bakeshop franchisees to concentrate on managing the business and taking care of their customers.
How large a space do I need for an in-line bakeshop?
A Woops! in-line bakeshop has a small footprint — 400 square feet to 1,000 square feet. This makes securing the perfect location for your Woops! franchise easier, and it makes for a store that is easy to manage, clean and perfect.
Do you help negotiate the leases for mall kiosks?
We have relationships with five of the biggest mall chains in America, and they are chomping at the bit for us to enter their malls.
How many employees do I need?
For a Woops! macaron kiosk franchise, you will only need one employee. We highly recommend that you run the kiosk as the owner, as this will keep your costs low, boost your ROI and enable you to spread the joy of our macarons to your community.
For an in-line bakeshop, we recommend that you employ a small staff of two to four people, whom will you extensively train to maintain the quality of our products, as well as to ensure that your customers have positive experiences in your stores.
What's the ROI on a Woops! franchise?
Our in-line bakeshops generated average sales of $62,000 a month in 2014, and our average kiosk generated $252,000 in sales in the same year.
Do you offer training and support? Woops! has developed an intensive training platform that includes how to manage every aspect of your business, including the most important part: correctly preparing and serving the Woops! products to your customers. We also train you on how to manage your inventory, operate your point of sale system and grow your business by including services such as event catering. In addition, we provide continual reviews to help you meet financial and performance goals and ongoing coaching to help you market your business to your community.
Can I do event sales?
Yes! We encourage our in-line bakeshop owners and our macaron kiosk owners to do event sales, as this is a potentially high-profit segment. For example, a Woops! macaron wedding pyramid sells for $500. We have a proprietary wedding cart, which our franchisees can buy to dish out our beautiful desserts in style. We also sell macaron branding equipment at a discounted rate so our franchisees can customize our macarons to suit a customer's occasion.

From Michigan, USA:
My son goes low while sleeping. How can I prevent this?
Nocturnal hypoglycemia can be decreased, but not totally avoided, by adjusting insulin doses, choosing alternative insulin products (i.e., sometimes bedtime Lantus avoids middle-of-the-night hypoglycemia as does bedtime Levemir versus bedtime NPH) and sometimes using an insulin pump to accomplish the same thing. Adjusting bedtime food choices (i.e., using high fat choices like ice cream) sometimes also helps. Lastly, adjusting insulin and/or food at bedtime based upon previous afternoon/evening activity is another alternative. All these are rather complicated and it would be wise to discuss details with your diabetes team.

Joe Simpson is one proud grandpa!
Shortly after his daughter, Jessica, welcomed her first child with fiance Eric Johnson — a girl named Maxwell Drew Johnson — Joe is already showering his second grandchild with gifts.
On Tuesday, Joe, 51, was seen picking out a giant pink stuffed bear for little Maxwell at the Cedars-Sinai Hospital gift shop in Los Angeles.
"He was really happy and told us the gift was for his new granddaughter," an insider tells Us Weekly. "He revealed both baby and mom were doing well."
Immediately after purchasing the bear — which carried an $80 price tag! — Joe brought the gift up to the hospital's maternity ward. Little Maxwell joins older cousin Bronx — the 3-year-old son of Jessica's sister Ashlee Simpson and ex Pete Wentz.
"Eric and I are elated to announce the birth of our baby Maxwell Drew Johnson 9 lbs. 13 oz. 21 3/4," Jessica, 31, wrote on her website Tuesday. "We are so grateful for all of the love, support and prayers we have received. This has been the greatest experience of our lives!"

$wpsc_save_headers = 0; $wpsc_save_headers = 0;
Sometimes, a break is what you need from the crowds in Bali. That is what I realized when I visited Kuta. I felt disheartened with the constant background din that comes with being in a crowded beach. There was this burning desire to get away from the madding crowd. That is why I jumped at the opportunity of visiting a secluded beach as soon as I heard about it from a local. Although, secluded may seem to bit of a stretch.
The beach in question was Balian Beach and it is on the same island as Kuta. Hiring a taxi, I prepared myself for a journey over 1.5 kilometres. Although the distance may not seem to be much, it felt to me as if hours had passed. I have the difficult and winding road conditions to thank for that.
So there I was looking at the lovely and quaint sight that Balian, a small village, greeted me. I decided right then to spend a night. After all, the place was peaceful. It wouldn't be fair to say that the beach was empty. No, the place had people but not enough to make it seem crowded.
However, the crowds didn't interest me. What I was interested in were the gorgeous waves that made me want to take out my surfboard. I decided to postpone surfing for a later time and instead take a walk. Being low tide, the local fishermen were busy casting their nets near the mouth of the river. There was something to be said about the grace that accompanied their movements, being perfected by daily practice. Moving on, I came across a stunning sight! Imagine palm trees and rice paddy fields swaying under the salty breeze.
I decided to call it a day and retire to one of the many accommodations available here. I opted for a room on the second floor in a beach house. The view of beach and the sea was fantastic!
The next day, I continued my explorations. I focused my efforts near the river having heard from a local that the place was good for swimming. The information was completely accurate and I had a good time swimming. It also seemed like the perfect place to wander about aimlessly which is exactly what I proceeded to do.
The Balian Beach is one of the best surfing spots I have come across in Bali. The waves are powerful and possess a long swell. It was a challenge but I was up for it. Thanks to the presence of the river mouth, the waves tend to have an A-frame. It made surfing all the more enjoyable. However, I was warned by locals never to surf or swim in the seas after spells of heavy rain or if the water seems murky. Bull sharks are common and are often found near the river mouth. Beware of these dangerous beasts.
As I watched the dusk settle over the beach, I felt reinvigorated and ready to brave the huge crowds and the party scenes in the rest of Bali. However, I think, that the true beauty of Bali lies in these spots. Of course, that just may be me. After all, 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'.

How to deal with the NHL lockoutOctober 2, 2012, by
Despite the lockout, we have some good news here at BSB. Good friend Becky (follow her on Twitter here) will actually be on Boomer and Carton tomorrow as a part of the "Do You Know More Sports Than A Hot Chick" segment. Becky has done a few guest spots on the blog here and there, and we reached out to her to write a post about how she will be dealing with the NHL lockout.
Don't forget to tune in to B&C tomorrow to check out Becky and see if you know more sports than her.
With the NHL cancelling the remainder of the preseason games, and the start date of regular season hockey quickly approaching with no signs of progress, it seems standard that all North American hockey fans are pretty bummed and/or on the ledge. Well, we can still keep our interest in hockey fresh and alive without regular season games. Consider this article your guide to living through yet another lockout.
In no particular order, here are things to do during the impending lockout:
- Loiter outside hockey bars, MSG, or the 2/3 entrance in Penn in your teams gear crying for hockey. It will definitely garner attention and if nothing else you'll get a great story. If you find a bar that willingly allows you in, feeds you beers and puts on the an old game, let your fellow fans know. This place could be a safe house during this tumultuous time.
- Read Artem Anisimov's tweets (@anisimov42). The kid has range and a very loose grip on the English language. He goes from simple (I'm drinking a very delicious Coffee) to deep (When you're playing. You think you're going play forever) to a perfect "That's what she said" joke (Sausages was amazing.) in a mere few tweets. Bonus points: he is playing for Lokomotiv now and he hasn't once tweeted #theplayers.
- Leave Gary Bettman angry voice messages. I think we should all be doing this anyway, if we all turn into those really annoying gnats maybe he'll be more inclined to do something. Or he'll just call up his provider and change his number, but either way we can annoy him as much as he is annoying us. That number is 212-789-2000, and may God have mercy on the poor intern fielding these calls.
- Catch up on old BSB posts, wink wink.
- Argue with Allan Walsh (@walsha) just for fun.
- Watch the NBA try to enforce fines for flopping and guess how many times Sidney Crosby would get fined.
- Use your hard-earned money on your girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife/dog. No, seriously, there are other things to spend money on besides hockey.
- Try and guess who The Suit is. Side note: It's not Glen Sather.
- And finally, break out the old shooter tutor, print out a picture of Gary Bettman's face, and staple it to said shooter tutor. Fire away.
Again, don't forget to check out Becky on B&C tomorrow morning.

This is a rush transcript from "Hannity," October 24, 2012. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
SEAN HANNITY, HOST: Now, there are more questions than answers when it comes to the terrorist attack in Benghazi that left four Americans dead. According to e-mails obtained by the Fox News Channel, the two former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed seven hours after the fighting at the consulate began. So, why since the State Department admits that they were watching these events unfold in real time did the administration not act sooner?
Now, earlier today, Fox News' Jennifer Griffin was on "America's Newsroom," explaining what actions were taken by our military. Watch this.
JENNIFER GRIFFIN, FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Here's what the Pentagon did do. They did send a team of special operations forces from Tripoli to Benghazi. They sent a fast team of marines from Rota, Spain. They sent a special operation force, they moved it from Central Europe to Sigonella Air Base in Southern Italy, about 480 miles from Benghazi. Then they left F-16s and apache helicopters parked at Aviano Air Base in Northern Italy. They did not take off. Two navy destroyers already in the Mediterranean were moved off the coast of Libya.
HANNITY: And joining me with reaction, Fox News contributor Liz Cheney. Liz, literally, they are saying that these forces were an hour away. Our State Department's watching in real time. We know that by 4 p.m. Eastern, the White House knew about it. By 6 p.m., Eastern, they knew more was happening. Why wouldn't they send in the military to help people at the consulate?
LIZ CHENEY, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Well, that is a question that the president of the United States needs to answer for the American people.
You know, I thought that Jennifer's reporting was interesting, and if you combined that with the State Department briefing that they provided on October 8, what looks to have happened is the only reinforcements that actually arrived in Benghazi, it sounds like were called in from Benghazi. The rest of the movements that occurred resulted in no additional reinforcements at Benghazi. And whatever other movements occurred, we now know they clearly were insufficient because we lost four Americans.
We also know that at 5 p.m. on September 11, 2012, President Obama, Vice President Biden and the secretary of defense were meeting in the Oval Office as you had these e-mails coming into the White House situation room, explaining that our consulate was under attack, that we didn't know where the ambassador was, that people were wounded.
So, these e-mails were coming in while they were in the Oval Office. And so far, everything we can tell points in the distribution of the president making no decision to do anything to rescue these people. He's got to explain to the American people, whether or not that's the case.
HANNITY: So, they're in the situation room. So, if it makes it to the White House situation room, the White House knew.
CHENEY: Right.
HANNITY: So, they knew everything that was going on, in spite of what their claims are. They knew that this was terrorist related. Does that mean that on the night of September 11, the president of the United States went to bed, knowing that the first ambassador in 30 years and other Americans were killed or under fire, and then he goes and he takes off to Vegas?
CHENEY: Right.
HANNITY: Is that possible that all happened? And troops were available to retaliate?
CHENEY: Yes. I mean, that is exactly what we need to find out, Sean. We need to know, the president directly needs to say the American people, he needs to answer the question -- what did you know when you went to bed that night, Mr. President? Did you go to bed while this attack was still on ongoing? He needs to explain to the American people why he made the decision, apparently, not to send in reinforcement that were, you know, a little over 400 miles away, that could have been there within hours.
You've got a situation where we know, for example, from this same State Department briefing that happened on October 8, an AP reporter said to the State Department official, what was it about the attackers at the compound that led you to believe they were angry because of a video? And the State Department official said, well, we didn't believe that. You're going to ask somebody else. Yet, in days following, we have seen again and again and again, the secretary of state, the president, the vice president, the ambassador to the United Nations saying this was all because of a video. There are very serious questions that have got to be answered.
HANNITY: There is something else that I think could happen here as well. And I think the American people, I think Congress should demand this, and that is, if all of this is on video and the video exists, why can't we be given the video? Find out what the White House knew, when they knew it, put it in real time, based on the answers that they have given publicly, which turned out to be lies now, we have found out.
CHENEY: Right.
HANNITY: I think -- would that be fair, as long as there was nobody on video that -- I mean, we saw the trade centers get hit, we saw the trade centers fall, we saw America under attack on 9/11/2001. Why can't we get these videos?
CHENEY: Yes, I mean, look, the president said that they were releasing everything real time as they got it. We now know that wasn't the case. Each time more information comes out, all it does is to call further into question, the actions of our president and our secretary of state and our secretary of defense, calls into question what they were doing while this attack was underway.
The other issue at stake here, Sean -- and this is something that Saxby Chambliss, the ranking member of the Senate Intel Committee brought up this morning on Fox -- is that we have now somebody in custody in Tunisia, who is responsible for part of this attack. We as a nation, have no way to ask him any questions or to detain him because we don't have a detention or interrogation policy.
HANNITY: The evidence now seems inconvertible and overwhelming, the president lied repeatedly to the American people. I think we need to know before this election on November 6.
CHENEY: I think you are absolutely right, Sean.
HANNITY: All right. Liz Cheney, thank you for being with us.
CHENEY: Thank you.

Who could have predicted this? Tom Cruise, 49, the paragon of normalcy (just ask Brooke Shields) is getting divorced again.
He and Katie Holmes are splitting up after five years. That makes three times for this guy.
Cruise once said of Scientologists, of whom he is a champion, "he or she has the ability to create new and better realities and better conditions."
He does seem to do that a lot. It's hard to know if Ms. Holmes, 33, would appreciate being jettisoned for Cruise's new and better reality, but her attorney said, referring to their 6-year-old daughter Suri, "Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest."
Cruise is also the same guy who, when interviewed by Matt Lauer on the Today Show about Shields, said, "There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance."
Hmmm. How do you explain him jumping up and down on the couch in 2005 on the Oprah Winfrey Show about his newfound love for Katie Holmes? He was so frenetic that a phrase was coined — "jumping the couch" — which was named the Slang of the Year by the editors of the Historical Dictionary of American Slang. They defined "jump the couch" as exhibiting "strange or frenetic behavior."
Cruise was previously married to Mimi Rogers (1987-90) and Nicole Kidman (1990-2001).

in-depth interview on Smashwords
, which provides this amazing tool for writers. .
I have tried to answer some questions about my writing, and writing process. I would love some feedback on this, so feel free to leave comments.
An excerpt from my interview:
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in Calcutta, India, a city known for its cultural contribution to India. The only Indian recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Rabindranath Tagore, is from the same city, and in fact, I am named after his Nobel Prize winning book of poetry. Thus, in some ways, writing was in my destiny. I grew up surrounded by ideas, and one of my favourite memories with my mother is going to the children's library to spend an entire afternoon reading books.
What do you read for pleasure?
I love to re-read some of my favourite books, like the works of Austen and classics like "The Wizard of Oz". I am a huge fan of chick-lit, especially from British and Irish writers, and everyone in my family knows, once I have started on one, I won't emerge till I'm done with the book! I also love cartoons, especially Dilbert, and Calvin and Hobbes. I am also a huge fan of Agatha Christie, and have read every book of hers, many of them twice.
I have lately become a fan of John Gardner's James Bond novels. I also have read every single Amy Tan book, and wait eagerly for her next offering. I enjoy some literary fiction as well.
In terms of non-fiction, I read business and productivity books voraciously, as well as an eclectic mix of books on economics, public policy, science and history. I also love cookbooks and nutrition / diet books.
Who are your favorite authors?
Depends on genre, but in no particular order: Jane Austen, JRR Tolkien, JK Rowling, Enid Blyton, Agatha Christie, Malcolm Gladwell, Vikram Seth, Amy Tan, Azar Nafisi, Daniel Coyle, Oscar Wilde, Leo Tolstoy, and many many more that I can't remember right now.

Parental Ideas To Deal With Picky Eaters
Visiting a restaurant with your family should be a relaxing and enjoyable experience. However, if any of your children are picky eaters, it can prove to be stressful and frustrating for both the kids and the parents alike.
Here are a couple of ideas for parents to deal with picky eaters
Parents need to plan ahead with menu ideas for picky eaters
One of the best ways for parents to reduce the chances of your child refusing to eat anything or picking at their food when dining out is checking the menu of the restaurant you are planning to visit beforehand. Nearly all restaurants have a website, and most will have their menus uploaded so you can check to see if they have a specific one for children or if there is a particular food that your child likes available. You could even get your child to look through the menu in advance to choose something and then pretend that the chef is going to make it especially for them when you arrive. The idea behind this is the picky eater thinks they have chosen to eat rather than it being forced upon them by their parents.
How to deal with the battle of wills between parents and picky eaters
Most children hate being forced by their parents to do anything. Whether it is to tidy up their toys or get ready for bed, they will resist because, well that's what kids do! If you are in a restaurant, there is little to be gained by forcing your child to eat what is in front of them. All that happens then is it becomes a battle of wills, and regardless of who wins if indeed there is a winner, both of you are going to be all the worse for the experience. Stay relaxed, don't force them to eat, simply eat your meal and if they start eating praise them.
Parents should reward picky eaters
When you are eating out with a picky eater, try to make the eating of their food into a game with prizes in such a way that they forget the fact they are eating and they are now focused on the reward. Ideas such as small treats or a special dessert can work, or if they have done well, extra TV time or even a new toy. It must not be that EVERY time your picky eater eats they get something, as that could become very expensive for you. On other occasions praising them and letting them know you love them, especially when they eat well, can often be reward enough.

South African-born Basil Rathbone was the son of a British mining engineer working in Johannesburg. After a extract briefly career as an insurance delegate, the 19-year-old aspiring actor joined his cousin's rerun clique. Humankind War I service as a lieutenant in Liverpool Scottish Whip into shape followed, then a immediate ascension to leading-staff status on the British stage. Rathbone's movie debut was in the London-filmed The Fruitful Vine (1921). High, well profiled, and blessed
At no time content with empty, united-note performances, Rathbone often brought a whiff of humanity and pathos to such stock "heavies" as Karenin in Anna Karenina (1936) and Pontius Pilate in The Last Days of Pompeii (1936). He was Oscar-nominated for his portrayals of Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet (1936) and the crotchety Louis XVI in If I Were King (1938). In 1939, Rathbone was cast as Sherlock Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles, the first of 14 screen appearances as Conan Doyle's master detective. He also played Holmes on radio from 1939 through 1946, and in 1952 returned to the character (despite his despairing comments that Holmes had hopelessly "typed" him in films) in the Broadway washout The Return of Sherlock Holmes, which was written by his wife, Ouida Bergere.
Famous giving some of Hollywood's most elegant and rococo parties, Rathbone socialistic the West Coast in 1947 to turn in to Broadway in Washington Square. He made a movie comeback in 1954, essaying saturnine character roles in such films as We're No Angels (1955), The Court Jester (1956), and The Pattern Hurrah (1958). Alas, like many Hollywood veterans, Rathbone often start the pickings lean in the 1960s, compelling him to accept roles in such lightweight quickies as The Comedy of Terrors (1964) and Hillbillies in the Haunted For nothing (1967). He could take consolation in the fact that these inappreciable films enabled him to finance projects that he indeed cared about, such as his college lecture tours and his Caedmon Accomplishments transcriptions of the works of Shakespeare. Basil Rathbone's autobiography, In and Out of Character, was published in 1962.

Oscar "The Blade Runner" Pistorius, 26, was born without calf bones. His use of fiberglass prosthetic legs catapulted him into fame, setting world records in the sport of running and winning Olympic Gold medals.
Oscar and his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp, were dating for five months when he shot and killed her in the middle of the night at his home in Pretoria, South Africa on Valentine's Day this year.
Oscar claims that he thought he was shooting through his bathroom door at an intruder on the other side. To his defense, there is a large gun culture in Pretoria, where houses are commonly robbed, and barbed wire protects many of the communities. However, before Oscar leapt out of bed and shot three times through his bathroom door, wouldn't he think to check the bed for his loved one? It was Reeva in the bathroom, not an intruder, who Oscar murdered through the closed bathroom door.
Oscar is due in court on Monday, which would have been Reeva's 30th birthday, where is faces multiples offenses including recklessly discharging a gun, and premeditated murder. One of the major details of the story that has yet to be determined is whether or not Oscar had his blades on when he shot through the bathroom door. Apparently, the angle at which the bullets went through the bathroom door is indicative of whether or not the murder was premeditated.
Although he will be in court on Monday, August 19th, his trial date is set for early 2014.

Square face shapes are very well suited for medium-length hairstyles with lots of layers. However, layers can accentuate any face shape, depending on where they are placed.Continue Reading
All face shapes are different, and layers have the unique capability of framing any of them. The trick to choosing a haircut with layers is deciding where the placement of the layers will be. Adding layers is useful if they are placed in whatever area the person needs more volume, or any area that needs accentuating. If the face is longer than it is wide, layers can widen the face. If the forehead is wide and the jaw line is thin, layers can thicken out the jaw line.Learn more about Hairstyles

However, climate change seems to be having a noticeable impact on silverside numbers, their arrival time seems to be getting later each year with fewer numbers seen. The Cayman Islands government has now also approved an extension and expansion of the cruise ship pier in George Town harbour. The planned dredging and coral removal will destroy many of these grottos and with it one of the most iconic underwater shows on the planet!

I used to wait stoically for end-of-day bell.
Fingers drumming a patient-ish pattern on
tattooed desks where desperation, and that
pitiful need to belong somewhere, anywhere
meant we embraced wooden stability as friends.
If they'd looked, our thoughts were splattered
in fountain pen ink for all to peruse.
Instead they rubbed us out, or bought flimsy
replacements and moaned, moaned, moaned.
The tragedy of our potent words was our impotency,
trapped behind painted bars and smily motifs
like monkeys in a cage or dolphins in a pool.
We performed tricks on order even as we pouted,
sullenly, our refusal to fit in, to conform, to let them
crush, dampen, douse our spirits in their unquestioning
society-requires-this ways. Here, we failed.
Oblivious, they ticked off each box as success
and said "Everyone's progressing nicely."
Smug pride dancing on corpses of might-have-beens.
Once there was more to us than complacency.
Now, robot-like, we can't even see what we lost.

2Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece
3University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA
The purpose of the study was to validate the revised Volunteer Motivations Scale for International Sporting Events (VMS-ISE) and to identify subgroup differences in the motives for volunteering using a volunteer sample from the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. Two hundred and six volunteers (144 males and 62 females) for the Athens 2004 Olympic Games participated in the study and completed the 29-item scale. Results of the confi rmatory factor analysis (CFA) provided support for the applicability of the volunteers' motivation questionnaire in the context of the Olympic Games, with the addition of the Love of Sport factor. The results of both validity (convergent and discriminant) and reliability (internal consistency) analyses were satisfactory. Results also indicated that gender and marital status had a signifi cant effect on specifi c motivational dimensions. These fi ndings suggest that the revised VMS-ISE can be a useful tool in measuring volunteer motives in international sporting events, as well as provide a better understanding of subgroup differences on volunteer motivation.

Nazmi Kozak and Cagil Hale Kayar
School of Tourism and Hotel Management, Anadolu University, Eskisehir, Turkey
This article takes a brief look at visitors' objectives for attending the East Mediterranean International Tourism and Travel Exhibition held in Turkey, in February 2006. The empirical data was collected via questionnaires from a sample of 295 visitors. Findings of the study indicated that visitors' objectives had four dimensions, which were called "entertainment," "developments," "exhibition facilities," and "vacationing." Significant differences were observed across the four dimensions. Results also showed that visitors' most important objective when attending the exhibition was to learn about the recent developments in products and services. Significant differences were observed among the objectives based on the demographic profiles of visitors in the sample. This study highlights the importance of deeply understanding visitors' objectives in order to enhance trade exhibitions' effectiveness.

Oaxaca's Indigenous Guelaguetza Festival: Not All That Glistens Is Gold
Michelle Whitford
School of Tourism, University of Queensland, Ipswich, Australia
Guelaguetza is one of Mexico's premiere celebrations of indigenous dance and music. The festival occurs every July in Oaxaca City where it is a premier tourist attraction providing opportunities for socioeconomic growth and development. Yet the festival also creates negative impacts such as commodification and commercialization of the festival, which may lead to the bastardization of culture, including loss of indigenous authenticity and exploitation of local resources. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to critically analyze the positive and negative impacts of the 2007 Guelaguetza in order to determine the extent to which the festival focuses on becoming a tourist attraction at the expense of community celebration. A qualitative research design utilizing the case study approach was employed to analyze positive and negative impacts emerging from the real-world context of the 2007 Guelaguetza. The results of the study revealed that not all that glistens is gold at the festival. Behind the façade of this visually spectacular festival, the Guelaguetza is at real risk of becoming a colorful, attractive, yet meaningless, commercialized tourist venture if tourist and commercial needs are favored at the expense of the people and their traditions. Consequently, now is the time to revisit and redefi ne the purpose of the Guelaguetza to ensure it remains a sociocultural and economically viable annual festival for everyone to enjoy, long into the future.

This study examined visitor mindfulness at a cultural festival. Mindfulness is considered a state of being that requires individuals to engage in active information processing, enabling them to be adaptive and responsive to information in their surroundings. Mindfulness is believed to result in more learning, high satisfaction, greater understanding, and greater feeling of control over behavior. Event managers must find ways to enhance visitor satisfaction as well as minimize negative impacts that result from events, and encouraging visitor mindfulness could contribute to these outcomes. This study took place over a 2-week period in July 2005 at the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Results presented demonstrate that the more interested visitors were in the festival the higher they scored on the mindfulness scale. Visitor level of mindfulness was positively related to their satisfaction with the event and their feelings of control over their own contribution to impacts. Implications for event managers are discussed.

An Impact Evaluation Framework: Local Government Community Festivals
Emma H. Wood
UK Centre of Event Management, Leeds Metropolitan University, Leeds, UK
This article brings together the author's previous research and consultancy along with a review of literature from several disciplines to develop a framework that summarizes the concepts, methods, and processes required to successfully evaluate the impacts of local government community festivals. Events and festivals are a relatively underresearched area but have experienced a growing amount of public sector expenditure. The framework developed and presented here is in response to the need to encourage greater evaluation of this activity and in doing so recognize the complexity of the process. The impacts of many such festivals are diverse (economic, social, environmental), far reaching (local, national, international), and long term. The evaluation of these impacts, therefore, requires an understanding of the concepts involved and the development of a range of tools and methods. The proposed framework is informed by the empirical research, theory, and practice in the areas of information systems, marketing communications, event studies, and public sector evaluation. Bringing together these distinct but related fields of study has enabled the development of a comprehensive and novel approach to event impact evaluation.

Lantern Festival is the most important cultural event in Chinese ethnic society. With a tremendous economic and tourism value brought by the event activities, Taiwan cities are actively participating the bidding to host Taiwan Lantern Festival. Event site selection is arguably a complex issue because of a multitude of variables that are needed to be taken into consideration. Therefore, Delphi method and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) are used to develop an evaluation hierarchy for Taiwan Lantern Festival site selection. The proposed model not only provides the site selection criteria but also determines their relative importance of different criteria in influencing site selection decisions. Results show that tourism attraction and visitors' needs are the most important factors for selecting Taiwan Lantern Festival site and other important factors according to the rank of their weights are site environment, accessibility, and local support. The factors identified have implications for management practice, for site decision making by Taiwan Visitor Bureau and event organizers.

A Preliminary Analysis of the Market for Small, Medium, and Large Horticultural Shows in England
Dorothy Fox and Jonathan Edwards
The School of Services Management, Bournemouth University, Poole, UK
Understanding the consumer is important in estimating the market for an event. This study analyzed the sociodemographic and other characteristics of actual and potential visitors to three styles of English horticultural shows. The shows selected varied in terms of their status (national, regional, local), the number of visitors they attract, and the length of time they are open to the public. The analysis of the findings of a survey of residents in southern England suggests that while age is a key demographic variable, a more valuable means of segmenting the population is by their level of enthusiasm for gardening. Furthermore, it is proposed that demand for the largest shows, held nationally, can be established not only through these factors but also by the potential visitors' history of attending smaller horticultural shows. The implications for the marketing of these and similar events are discussed.
Key words: Horticultural shows; Gardening; Visitors; Segmentation

2The Pennsylvania State University, PA, USA
Research models should be grounded in sound theory. This applies to models attempting to elucidate why individuals participate in recreational sport event. Social phenomena have often been understood in terms of interpersonal behavior between individuals. Therefore, this article proposes that resource theory, which has been used widely to explain interpersonal relationships, can help us understand participation in recreational sport events. This study develops an instrument to assess the resources that participants and organizers deploy as they participate in recreational sport events. We detail a two-staged process of analysis. Initially, a pool of items is developed using six widely cited dimensions in resource theory: love, status, information, services, goods, and money. Second, each subscale is examined and modified so that it is appropriate for understanding participation in recreational sport events. Results show that these items in particular and resource theory in general are useful in understanding participant-organizer relationships within recreational sport events.

Study says statins not enough for diabetic hearts
Diabetes is known for being associated with co-morbid conditions like cancer and heart diseases, but researchers using an experimental test have discovered that the 50% of surveyed diabetics may also have undetected heart muscle damage.
MedicalXpress reports that the tests found the previously undetected damage by assessing levels of the protein troponin, which shows up in blood tests when heart cells die, and this damage could be associated with subsequent heart failure and death.
This is a distinct health issue from cholesterol—many diabetics are prescribed statins and researchers say the results indicate statins may not do enough to protect the heart.

PART IV: MAGNETIC (ELECTROMAGNETIC) PROPERTIES OF THE GROWTH FORMS: The magnetic (and consequently, the electromagnetic) properties of the primary Morgellons growth form are now proven in a direct fashion. The video segments below show the response of both the culture derived form and the oral sample to a strong magnetic field. These demonstrations will call into consideration each of the papers written on the subject of electromagnetics by this researcher. One such topic will be the extended research that has been done that reveals the ambient presence of unaccounted Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) energy over a testing period of several years. The human electromagnetic system operates primarily within the ELF portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The sensitivity and response of the Morgellons growth form to the electromagnetic spectrum is another of the many primary fields of research that requires funding, resources and skilled personnel to complete. The identified presence of iron and ferromagnetic compounds within the growth forms establishes the basis of this future research, along with the direct demonstration of the magnetic response shown below:
The best success of decomposition has eventually come forth with the use of a commercial hair declogger used in plumbing systems. This solution is primarily a combination of concentrated sodium hydroxide and concentrated potassium hydroxide. This solutions is highly caustic. The greater success of this method also becomes dependent upon the use of applied heat over an extended time period. It was with the use of this method that valid comparisons, both chemically and spectroscopically, could be made. Considerable work remains before us to acquire the detailed biochemical knowledge of the internal nature of the environmental filaments; this work will continue as the proper resources and equipment avail themselves.

If you feel as if your symptoms are very similar to this syndrome, you cannot treat it with fundamental medical techniques; you need to stop the replication of the particle with an EMP(electro magnetic pulse) which can be found on several physics websites such as amazing1.com. Good luck and I hope this helps!
