Best Individual Professional Print Advertisement
Recognizes creative excellence for a single print ad for a prescription drug, medical product or service appearing in any medical journal or periodical.
LehmanMillet and Dune Medical Devices
Simplify the Story
Founded in 2002, Dune Medical Devices has offices in the US, Israel and Switzerland. The MarginProbe System, which delivers real-time cancer detection in the operating room, is the company's first offering. It's currently in clinical trials at 18 centers in the United States.
LehmanMillet created a campaign to introduce the system to breast surgeons. Dune Medical Devices' website notes that surgeons face the question of whether or not they've removed all cancerous tissue, and must balance the imperative towards aggressive treatment with the desire to conserve tissue. The MarginProbe System provides an immediate assessment of cancer on the excised tissue's margin, reducing doubt and the likelihood of a second surgery.
The ad has a visual of hornets surrounding a nest hanging from a branch, all but one inside two white circles. The copy says the circles represent removal of the breast lesion—"You removed the breast lesion"—and the appropriate margin—"You removed it with an appropriate margin." The hornet outside the circles connects to copy reading "But how do you remove doubts that you got all the cancer?"
"Images outline the danger that lies in the periphery and positions MarginProbe as the tool to see beyond the obvious," explained the agency.
"Provocative visual and thoughtful copy," noted one judge. Another also decribed the ad as provocative, while a third applauded the team for a "great visual" and a "good symbol" that's "very scary."
AbelsonTaylor and Takeda Canada
Stomach Switches Spread
This ad features a steel stomach covered in on- and off-switches. It helped set the stage for the Canadian launch of Dexilant, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) with a unique dual delayed-release formulation for acid reflux disease. The image relays the idea of proton-pump activation, effectively grabbing the attention of gastroenterologists and PCPs and differentiating Dexilant, which was the seventh PPI to enter the Canadian market. "Outstanding visual execution," said one judge. "Excellent stopping power," noted another.

Whenever I cross the Causeway into Singapore I get the feeling that, "Wow! This is like a totally different planet, man!"
Or when crossing the other way, "What the fuck! Baarger! This is like a totally different planet, man!"
I am sure you know what I mean, right?
And if you say, "Ale! So good meh?" going one way and "Where got?" coming the other, then you are:-
a) so blindly patriotic you deserve a medal
b) you've been paid to say "Where got?"
c) you really don't care one way or the other and are awaiting your PR approval from Australia.
Last week I spent a couple of days in Penang. You know, the island up north that is managed by those Opposition flers? I knew something was wrong the minute I crossed over the messy, Federal-funded and built Penang Bridge.
Eh? How come the Rapid Penang buses all so clean one?
Eh? Aren't those low-cost council flats? How come look so clean and fresh one? With new coat of paint some more.
How can man? These Opposition flers just know how to complain about Federal government not giving them enough money to do things, right? Also they are supposedly marginalising some communities by holding back development and business opportunities right?
Then how come everybody here looks so happy one? Okay, so 2 days isn't enough to make a survey worth shit la but I must still admit that I was impressed man!
Okay, so I shall wait impatiently for some comments to come in after this telling me, "If you like it so much, move there la. Blaardy pendatang!" But then it's different from being yelled at to go to another country. Penang IS in my country. Isn't it? Then how come it looks and feels so different one? Didn't all the YB's say that those Opposition flers can't do shit and not to vote for them?
Ah! And then I read in the newspapers that the Penang flers who live on the mainland are getting free bus rides to work. Some more can park their cars for RM1.00 the whole day and ride bus to work. Free! Can do like that meh? Opposition government wor.
Ah! And then ah I also heard the Chief Minister make a speech to an audience of about 200 people at a book store. Wah! I really tabik the Lim fler la. Damn best speech I've heard from a politician in years la. He spoke about Penang and the people's collective efforts in building a great place to live and work and bring up family all. And he never once highlighted any one particular community for praise. All are Penangites and all contribute and share. I tell you ah, after listening to him and enjoying Penang for 2 days I really felt like moving there to live la. Friendly, happy people. Malays, Chinese, Indians, Dll's. Clean environment. Efficient administration. Sun, sea and surf. What's there not to like? Well, maybe just one thing la. The property prices there quite terror la. Don't know if can afford. But then in a place like Penang the rule can always be "If you're prepared to work hard the rewards are there to be shared". So maybe can. Somemore no need to apply visa all.

Once the realm of science-fiction film Minority Report, China is using its sophisticated surveillance system as a basis for a new "unified information environment" that will be used to predict if someone will commit a crime before they actually do it.
Each citizen will be profiled and tracked – this includes their online behaviour, financial transactions, and where they go and who they visit. All the while, authorities will be looking for any break in the norm that could be an indicator of potential "terrorism." The system could watch for unexpected money transfers, overseas calls by individuals with no relatives outside of the country, and so on. The technology they're using was actually pioneered in the US.
According to Patrick Tucker of Defense One, the Chinese government is starting to use "predictive policing" programming that was previously used by US authorities, along with funding research into machine learning and artificial face recognition software that would be used to identify people from CCTV images. The "Situation-Aware Public Security Evaluation (SAPE) platform" will predict "security events" based on the combination of data of hundreds, if not thousands of people – such events include anything from a genuine terrorist attack to a large crowd forming.
China has heavily invested in building up its monitoring capabilities over the past 5 years, meaning that it has a large amount of data to feed into the system. Spending on "domestic security and stability" has well surpassed its defence budget, turning it into the biggest market in the world for security-related technology. Anti-terrorism laws that were passed in December gave the government more powers to closely watch its populace and requires any technology companies who do business in China to help them out in that surveillance.
The legislation states that companies "shall provide technical interfaces, decryption and other technical support and assistance to public security and state security agencies when they are following the law to avert and investigate terrorist activities". This is pretty much the "golden key" that FBI Director James Comey has been demanding in the US – it is not therefore surprising to hear that China has taken a keen interest in the outcome of the ongoing legal battle between Apple and the FBI over the iPhone used by San Bernardino jihadist Syed Farook.

Cat Friendly Practice
Cat Friendly Veterinary Practice in Kennett Square, PA
In the United States, there are millions more owned cats than owned dogs, yet cats visit veterinarians less frequently. A major reason is that it is very stressful to take cats to the veterinary practice. The Cat Friendly Practice® (CFP) program, created by feline practitioners, provides a solution to this trend.
As a Cat Friendly Practice®, we have taken extra steps to demonstrate we understand your cat's unique needs and care requirements.
The program is designed to:
- Help reduce the stress associated with veterinary visits.
- Understand how to approach and handle cats in a gentle, empathetic, and caring manner.
- Create a calming environment with you and your cat in mind.
- Meet standards for facilities and care of hospitalized cats.
Longwood Veterinary Center is a certified Cat Friendly Practice, so you can be confident your cat will be given exceptional care and attention through all phases of the visit including examinations, procedures, and hospitalization. It is our hope that by implementing these extra measures, we will be able to increase and improve the quality of life in our feline patients by being able to diagnose and treat illnesses earlier.

ITU given keys to autonomous car standards process
Trials expected on public roads in six years
The International Telecommunications Union has communed with the auto industry and agreed "to host a dialogue of senior executives of vehicle manufacturers to identify the activities needed to consider future steps to realize the potential of fully autonomous driving."
That statement, part of a communiqué issued in the wake of the ITU's Future Networked Car symposium, puts the ITU in the driving seat to define the standards necessary to allow use of autonomous cars, and then lead development of those standards.
If the excerpt above sounds like bureaucratese of the sort that indicates autonomous cars are being sent to a committee from which they will never emerge, fear not.
In the communiqué, the director of the ITU's Standardization Bureau , Malcolm Johnson, outlines a plan to " … address issues including software reliability, legal frameworks and cybersecurity." Johnson hints he's like to get those issues sorted quite quickly, as "The industry is expected to move from trials to commercial deployment of automated driving in certain environments, such as motorways, within the next six years."
If the ITU succeeds it could mean an interoperability standard that all auto-makers can use, which should help to speed autonomous car adoption. Numerous groups are currently finding their own way in the field, so a standard agreed by industry and government would likely be very welcome.
The ITU is well-placed to do the job, as it has long experience working with technologists and governments. And of course autonomous cars present many communications challenges, which are right up the ITU's alley. ®

Question to anyone who has rebuilt one partial or complete.
How hard is it to just replace the diaphram on the parking brake?
Do you need any special tools?
Or just undo the back part of the can and replace the diaphram?
Waitng for your replys

Cliff, I rebuilt one a few years back for an MC8 I had briefly. Ordinary tools will be all you need. If you don't have an exploded diagram to work from, take lots of digital pics as you go, since there's a lot too 'em. I'd also recommend digging into the whole can and taking each part out prior to ordering parts. You might find springs and such that need to be replaced. Some of the ball bearings might be too flat, etc. Order new breathers and cotter pins, too. You might consider replacing the service side diaphram while you're at it. That way you'll
have to touch the can again. Plan at least 4 hours for the job and don't feel rushed.
For the rebuild, I got my parts from Mohawk Manuf. and they were awesome to work with. Since I was in a hurry, they overnighted the parts to me for only FedEx rates (no "rush" charges). Luke is great, also. I spent about $120 or so a lot of the guts. On mine the can had been exposed to water and road salts and had major rust/ corrosion.
Do you have a parts manual? I did for the MCI can I was rebuilding, and made it much easier on myself and the Mohawk folks to have the proper numbers.

Cliff, I'm so glad that you broached this subject, no only because we're having a similar problem with releasing our Parking brakes but because I had a discussion with my bus mechanic, David, today about brake actuators. New DD-3's are going for over $500 bucks now and David feels that instead of replacing mine with DD-3"s I should replace them with the 30-30's which the trucks use...for the reason that once you push the button to dis-engage the parking brake...it goes off...you don't have to do the Potomac Two Step on the pedal to get them to release.
Initially I thought he was talking about the spring brake actuators but from what I was led to believe the 30-30's are smaller than the spring brake actuators and can be bought re-built for around $80 ea, exchange.
Now we're going to have to be patient and hear from our experts on the subject.
Also, Uncle Ned and I have asked David if he and his wife, Roxie, would join us at Dallas' bash in October. We're happy to have a man of his talent and knowledge of buses so close to us and I'm sure he would, if we could arrange it with Dallas and Cat, talk to us about buses in general and share some of his knowledge and have perhaps a Q & A session.

Bob, On MCI buses, Due to the way the mounting bracket is made, there's not enough room to replace the DD3 with 30/30 chambers.

Clifff: It is a long time since I took a DD-3 apart. Get a big felt pen and mark the orientation of all the fittings and draw a line down one side of both cans so that you get everything back in the right position the first try. IIRC the clamp ring needed a 12 point socket to remove it. The spring is not as powerful as a spring brake but will still make things come apart rather quickly if you don't have some method to control it.
NCBob: Can you get some more info from your mechanic on the brake cans he proposes - make and model?

Cliff, have you checked the Bendix website? There are some pix located at this address....Â
If this doesn't load correctly, just take the link back to Bendix.com and look around. There's a troubleshooting chart on this site also. I've never had a lot of success using diag charts, but they help build a knowledge base that is useful.
Here I go again .... modifying brakes systems can be problematic. This ain't directed at you Cliff...you're not modifying anything. Â
These various brake systems have many interdependent components that may cause problems if modified...and death and dismemberment once the operator notices something doesn't work quite right.Â
Bendix DD3s are proven brake chambers. Spring brakes and 30/30s fail too. Fix your DD3s and get on with other things....May I suggest that before any brake systems are altered, that schematics of both the existing bus system and the system that is used with (in this case brake chambers) be overlayed and compared.  Compare part numbers and valves. Then an idea of the level of difficulty required to correctly change the bus brake systems will become more apparent...maybe they aren't as different as I think?Â
If parking brakes don't release correctly, there's something wrong with the system. Fix what ails it. Just disassembling the drive axle chambers and cleaning and lubing may work wonders...or an inexpensive valve is not working.  Could also be the result of years of moisture crud and corrosion buildup.  DD3s are not difficult to repair...IMHO what's gonna be hard to work on is a bastardized system with no manuals or absolute replacement parts.  I don't doubt that a good brake man couldn't rig something that may work...but who's going to followup later?  An unknowing mechanic that knows buses may make inappropriate repairs without understanding that the system has been modified.  Just sooo many ways this could go bad. Â
Last but not least, anyone with parking brake release issues should be certain that they are following the correct release process.
Alas, I doth prattle too much! But I did get the grass mowed tonight! JRÂ

Cliff, I rebuilt mine also. I would suggest you tear completly apart and replace rubber and worn parts.
NCBob, The 30-30 is a spring brake. 30 is the surface area of the brake and spring area (sq in ). You can buy 24-24, 30-30, 30-24, 36-30, 30-30 etc. The 30-30 is the most popular. I have a MCI 5C and COULD NOT fit spring brakes in. Hope this helps. Tom Y

If you go to mybendix.com (you may have to register, but it is free), you will find a service data sheet for the DD-3. It has all of the data I think you will need. It is: 024600.pdf

We modified the mounts and went with spring brakes. While there are liability issues, we made a point of doing two things: we have exactly what is used on a truck tractor and we were careful to make sure that we did not develope any weaknesses in the braking system.
We also kept the original hand brake.

Thanks for all the replies
As some of you may know I replaced my drivers side DD3 before a trip I was going on.Â
Since timing was very important in that situation I ordered a rebuilt DD3.($400.00)
Now that I have a little down time I want to rebuild the passengers side, as I have a leaky parking diaphram which can make it difficult to release the parking brake.
I remember Brian talking about rebuilding his and I wanted to get some opinions on the difficulty factor involved.
I would hate to spend $200.00 for a full rebuild kit and then find it was a major ordeal and as we all kow sometimes it easier to
let the rebuilders do it. And of course I get a 1 year warranty from them.
Jim-Great website, downloaded all the stuff I needed.Â
Brian-I do have the Coach Maint manuals too.
Bob-As Chuck said regarding your MCI5, is also true on my GMC, not enough room to go to spring brake.
Thank you all

Cliff, I'm not sure which "Brian" you are referring to, but yes I did rebuild my cans.
However, I did not rebuild the internal locking guts of my cans because the shafts were completely worn out. I ended up getting used DD3 cans from Luke @ US Coach and then put new diaphrams in them. Let me just say putting the diaphrams in is really easy. Basically nothing to the job if you are careful and take your time. Also, it is really easiest to do the job with the tires off, but you might be able to do it with the tires still on. Just make sure to block up the coach body and chock the wheels so the bus can't move when you release the parking brakes.

Hi Brian D.,
I was replying to Brian B's earlier comment. Have to get my Brians right.
Thanks for the information on your experience.
Having a 30 year old coach I am leaning to buying the rebuild again.
I keep thinking that I if I buy a kit(half of new) and find something worn or damaged not included, and then I have to that,
I might as well buy a rebuilt unit with the warranty.
Plus, these are the original cans and I doubt will wear them out again.(rebuilt)
Decisions, decisions...

$200 to do it yourself and $400 for a bebuilt can? I'd go rebuilt and save that $200 on a less critical project. If I could save $500 or so, I'd definitely do it myself.

I dont know where the $200 for parts comes from..the diaphrams are $64 for the pair on each side (from Mohawk). My locking components (rollers and brake shaft) were fine...so ..where is the other $140.00 ?

Notes for JAMES ASHMORE: (Courtesy of Mary Sewell)
The Gunpowder Incident
James Ashmore, along with Joshua Hadley (according to the author of "Sketches of Western North Carolina Historical and Biographical" by Cyrus L. Hunter 1877, states that James Ashmore & Joshua Hadley were half brothers), Robert Caruthers, Robert Davis, Benjamin Cochran, John White, James White, William White, Jun.(brothers) and William White (cousin) son of widow White, were involved in destroying the ammunition on May 2,1771 the information can be found in the Colonial Records of North Carolina Vol. 9 and the London Rolls. The group became known as the "Black Boys of Cabarrus", protesting the unreasonable taxes being imposed upon the people. They sought relief from Governor, but getting no help, burned a gun powder train that was on its way to General Waddell, which was to be used against them. Ashmore gave a deposition asking for a pardon for the above nine men 22, June, 1771. Council meeting 27, Nov 1771 request for pardon sent to His Majesty.
The Regulators
About 1763, the citizens of western North Carolina in the Hillsborough District, heretofore peaceful and happy, began to feel "basic economic, social and religious differences of the East (NC), which promoted sectional rivalry and conflict." (Lefler, Orange County 1752-1952) The principal conflict centered upon the domination of the Eastern planter aristocracy and the lack of representation in the government branches. Those who resisted the official extortion and inequitable taxes came to be known as "Regulators", 1767-1771, declaring their own war with many acts of mischief and defiance. Walter Ashmore had signed a protest as early as 1768 (NC Colonial Records v 7 p 935)
James Ashmores official part in the War of the Regulators may be found in the NC Colonial Records v 8 pp 622/3:
James Ashmores Testimony
June 22, 1771: James Ashmore swears before Thos Polk as follows: "North Carolina, Mecklenburg County. The deposition of James Ashmore, of full age, who being voluntarily sworn on the Holy Evangelists of Almighty God, voluntarily deposeth and saith that he, this deponent, with a number of other persons, was convened at Andrew Logans old plantation in consequence of an advertisement (set up by one James McCaul as it was said), when and where this Deponent was accosted by one James White, Junior, to know whether this Deponent thought it any harm to burn the powder then carrying through the county aforesaid, to the army then under the command of General Hugh Waddell, to which this deponent made answer that according to the reports passing of the Governor and his officers, that he did not think the bare burning of the powder any harm, and that then this deponent went home and the day following, between the hours of ten and eleven oclock in the forenoon, this deponent quit work on his plantation and went to look for his horses. When about three-quarters of a mile from his house, this deponent was met by six men, disguised, in the road, who in appearance resembled Indians, but after some persuasion, consented in part and then went home with his horses and after returned with Joshua Hadley to a place about half a mile from this deponents house, where were assembled with himself nine persons, to-wit., James White, Junior, John White, Junior, William White, Robert Caruthers, Robert Davis, Benjamin Cochran, Joshua Hadley and William White, son of widow White, who all went thence disguised to Captain Phifers old muster ground where they found and stopped the waggons and enquired for the powder that was carrying to General Waddell. When in the waggon belonging to Col. Alexander they found the powder and took it out of the waggons, broke open the hogsheads and kegs that contained the powder, and set the same on fire and destroyed some blankets, leggins, kettles, and other things, and then dispersed soon after, having at this deponent first joining of them sworn him to secrecy as they informed who they all before, and further his deponent sayeth not.
James Ashmore
James Ashmores activity was pardoned at the New Bern Council on 27 November 1771 by Governor Tryon. James left the political hotbed; on 25 September 1771 James and Elizabeth sold their land to Hezekaih James Balch and moved to Georgia. On 7 June 1774 James and Elizabeth received a land grant of 150 acres in St. Pauls Parish (GA Folio 1077). On 1 February 1775 James and Elizabeth of Mecklenburg NC deed the St. Pauls Parish land to Robert Neilson and the money was received for them by Francis Ashmore.

Rhoda Ashmore
Notes for RHODA ASHMORE:
Rhoda Ashmore born about 1763 most likely in Mecklenburg Co., N.C.. Rhoda Ashmore married Elisha Hadden in Logan Co., KY, December 10, 1799. In Logan Co., KY. Rhoda & Elisha Hadden are listed on the Logan Co. General Index to Real Estate Conveyances as a grantor of 50 acres on Muddy Creek to William & his wife Mary Ashmore as the grantees.
Elisha Hadden lived on Limestone Creek in Washington Co , TN as well as James Ashmore and he can be found also living on Lick Creek, Greene Co., TN as a neighbor of James Ashmore. In Logan Co., KY there is a Elisha Hadden, Sr. and an Elisha Hadden, Jr.
In Butler Co., KY on the 24th of January, 1818 William Ashmore, Elisha Hadden and John Wilson were the witnesses for the will of William Hadden.
According to the Declaration of Elisha Hadden in his pension file, he states that he that he was 73 since the 28th day of July last past (1759), born in York Co., PA; this declaration was given in Coles Co., IL before the circuit judge on May 6th, 1833.
Notes for ELISHA HADDEN:
Elisha Hadden was born in York Co., PA July 28,1759 and was living in Rockbridge Co, VA where he was a private in the militia at age 17 and fought the Shawnee Indians under Captain James Hall and the Regiment Commander - Colonel Andrew Lewis. They marched from Rockbridge Co. to the Levels of Greenbrier and then across the Gauley Mountain in pursuit of the Shawnee Indians, but did not overtake them, so they marched back to Rockbridge Co., VA.
At age 22 he was living in TN (Washington Co., NC/TN) which was not a state at that time, Elisha also fought the hostile Cherokee Indians under Captain William Pruitt's Rangers as a private. He fought in the Battle of Kings Mountain under Captain James Wilson who was under Colonel John Sevier's command. *"The group of Tennessee volunteers dressed in homespun, wearing coonskin caps and armed with rifles, they presented a picturesque appearance. Their equipment consisted of powder horn and bullet pouch, with a measure of parched corn or meal for sustenance. A considerable portion of the command were mounted, but the hardy footmen with their light equipment kept pace with the horses and arrived on the scene of the battle at the same time as the horsemen. Making a forced march across the mountains they learned that Colonel Ferguson was intrenched at King's Mountain, near the boundary line between the Carolinas. Colonel William Campbell was elected to command the attack which was decided to be an immediate attack. King's Mountain was surrounded by the little band of mountaineers, who advanced in Indian fashion, fighting from every tree and bush. So deadly was their aim, so determined was their purpose that the British forces were practically annihilated and Colonel Ferguson and many of his subordinates killed. When Cornwallis heard the news that one of his choicest regiments had been destroyed by a band of mountaineers who fought with tomahawks and long rifles, his heart became as water and he surrendered to General George Washington on October 19, 1881."
In 1787/8 he fought under Captain James Fanes/Fains & Major Craig against the Cherokee Indians,where he was shot by a rifle ball in the left leg, which broke it, also in the left shoulder & one other in the left arm, his horse was shot down, his brother put him on his horse & they escaped to the fort, where he stayed 7 weeks and then was moved on a litter back to Washington Co.
I have no proof but I believe Elisha Hadden's brothers were William and Samuel Hadden (who was also a witness to the will of William Hadden (1816)...Butler Co., KY along with Elisha Hadden & William Ashmore).
Butler Co, KY - 1810 census list as follows:
Elisha Hadden - 2 m under 10, 1 m 16-26, 2 m 26-45, 1 m 45 or over, 3 funder 10, 2 f 10-16, 1 f 16-26
Hugh Hadden - 2 m under 10, 1 m 16-26, 2 f - 10, 1 f 10-16, 1 f 16-26
Samuel Hadden - 1 m 26-45, 1 f under 10, 1 f 16-26
William Hadden - 1 m 16-26, 1 m 45+, 1 f 45+
William Hadden - 1 m under 10, 1 m 16-26, 1 f 16-26
Giles Co., TN Tax List - 1812 list William Ashmore, James Ashmore, James Ashmore, Sr., William Hadden, Samuel Hadden, John Hadden, Hugh Hadden and Thomas Hadden.
Chester Co, PA tax list 1765-69 David Hadden; Harrison Co VA census 1785 is
David Hadden & John Hadden and Monongalia Co., VA William Hadden 1782
In York Co., PA 1790 census is Samuel Hadden, Cumberland Co, PA - Thomas
Haddon, Westmoreland Co., PA William & Berkely Hadden.
The 1787 census of Lincoln Co., VA (KY) Tax List "B", District of John Bryant, Commissioner, list Samuel & William Hadden In Washington Co., TN/NC there also is Anna Hadden with a land grant from NC, which leads me to believe that she was the widow of a Revolutionay War soldier....since women did not own land unless they were heirs. Question could this Anna be the mother of Mary Hadden???? Anna Hadden's land was on the Big Limestone creek which is also where James Ashmore also had land before he moved to Lick Creek.
Margaret Ashmore
married Hugh Henderson in Logan Co, KY & they moved to Clark Co., IL
James Ashmore Jr.
first married Ann Horn they lived in Giles Co., TN then moved to IL, he also married Cassandra Moore
His wife Elizabeth is not buried in SC at the Ashmore plantation, that is a different
Elizabeth, birth dates do not fit Elizabeth
Balch's Harford Co records. Most likely Elizabeth died in Greene Co or Logan Co ,

As I'm working on this, I have about a dozen side projects going on simultaneously. One of the biggest ones I'm working on is our upcoming push for National Suicide Prevention Week which falls in the middle of Suicide Awareness Month. Working for a nonprofit that exists to help raise awareness for these issues, I know first hand the importance of these weeks.
People don't talk about these issues because they make people uncomfortable. They make people uncomfortable because we've spent so long avoiding it that we don't know how to talk about it. So we assume that the only solution is to continue to not talk about it.
I'm here to say that's a load of bull. Lives are going to continue to end as long we keep deciding that suicide and mental illness is too uncomfortable to talk about.
I mean, let's look at this logically. Are we so wrapped up in our own need to be comfortable that we're completely okay with stories continuing to be cut tragically short? Have we really become that selfish of a society?
If you have a broken bone or the flu, do you just ignore it and not let your body heal properly? Of course not! Why? Because that's completely ridiculous. I've broken my fair share of bones in my life, and every time I did, I went to the doctor for treatment. So why do we shove mental health under the rug and pretend that it doesn't exist? Not only in our own lives, but in the lives of others.
Why is it that the only time people feel the need to talk about mental health is when something tragic happens? Why can't these conversations exist all the time? Are they uncomfortable to have at times? Yes. But I would much rather be temporarily uncomfortable and get the help I need or the help for someone else in need than continue to ignore it until something happens.
That's why the month of September is so important. People need to know that they aren't alone in their struggles and that their story matters. Until people realize that placing a period in their story is no longer an option, I will continue to fight for their semicolons. Not just because I have struggled with these issues personally, but because if I claim to be a follower of Jesus and strive to be like him, then where is my compassion for others at if not in the hopes of them continuing their stories.
Project Semicolon will be using #HopeIsAlive15 for the entire month of September. We encourage you to join the conversation with us. Whether you struggle personally or have loved ones that do, you can make a difference. You can help break the stigma behind mental illness and suicide.
Your story is sacred. And it is so far from being finished. So please stay. If you're having trouble fighting on your own, please know that you aren't alone.

Dandruff is the shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp. Dandruff can be caused by chronic pain or either by irritations or itchy skin.
It's important to point out that stress can provoke dandruff formation more quickly and in greater amount, and people with oily hair are more likely to have dandruff. Anti-dandruff shampoo and treatments are created to stop dead skin appearance. That is why they intend to remove oil excess from the hair and reduce sensitivity of the area to avoid dandruff production or reduce it until removing irritations.
Likewise, they eliminate oleic acid. Anti-dandruff shampoos are applied just like any other shampoo, that is, during the shower. It's recommended to wash vigorously reaching all areas. In this regard, the time they take to make an effect is short. However, those with a serious dandruff problem may need to apply more than once a day.

Langer & Rodin Section A
- Created by: Lucy Rossell
- Created on: 26-04-13 20:36

- 17 old people
How many died after 4 weeks?

What happened THREE days later?

TWO nurses, THREE weeks later did what?
- filled in a second questionnaire assessin the patients across 9, 10 point scales on alertness, activeness and participation
There was also what measures?
- behavioural mesaures such as if the pps attented movie night or took part in the jelly bean competition

Justine Picardie is a top frock authority. She writes for Vogue and The Sunday Telegraph. She swaps stories with supermodels and sweaters with Bella Freud. She is an élite officer in the fashion police. But don't worry: she's also as bent as a nine bob Fendi. "Eat fruit, as well as wearing its colours" - that's her idea of a strict style rule. Similarly, "You can wear brown and navy together". Not for her Botox for breakfast and Marlboro Lights for lunch. Were she to weigh up your wardrobe, you probably wouldn't need to leap from the nearest window afterwards. It's certainly far from a chore to rummage round hers.
That's essentially what one does in this book, half memoir, half investigation into the charge that clothes can carry, the echoes and the connotations. Each chapter concentrates on a different garment Picardie fishes from her closet - the black cocktail dress her mum got married in, some PVC trousers from university - tacks on some fashion tips, then stitches them all together into a sort of patchwork.
My Mother's Wedding Dress is at its strongest when Picardie wanders into similar territory to that explored in If The Spirit Moves You, her devastating memoir from 2002 about her attempts to re-establish contact with her sister, Ruth, who died from cancer aged 32. Ruth is a running thread here, too - Justine still wears some of her old clothes, finds it difficult just to look at others. She writes movingly about the way in which clothes outlast us, acquire their own history, not all of it savoury. Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca is nicely dissected. There's an excellent section on the appeal of feathers, of looking like a bird or even an angel. She quotes a friend who once tried on something snazzy from Biba, looked in the mirror and saw the ghost of a girl who died in it.
Not that this is a merely moochy memoir. Picardie can be witty, too, for instance when urging against the wearing of cloaks: "What has the sinister black-cloaked Scottish Widow done with her husband? Has she spent the life insurance on a new cape?" And even a little provocative, suggesting that red confers stature on men who wear it but seems sinister, dangerous even, on women.
Her thoughts on the tutus of her childhood are remembered with a touch too much breathlessness ("I want to be a ballet dancer when I grow up, I practise my ballet jumps in the kitchen, while my mum is sewing, I can nearly touch the ceiling; it's as if I can almost fly"). And her write-ups of encounters with top designers may leave non-Vogue subscribers feeling exluded. Karl Lagerfeld seems like a congenial chap, albeit it with mother issues. Donatella Versace is a touch unpredictable, at one moment claiming to be a Catholic, the next an atheist; advocating the skincare benefits of smiling but failing to do so herself. "She has so many sides to her that she remains endlessly fascinating," reckons her friend, Rupert Everett, and Picardie appears to agree.
Overall, though, Picardie has put together something highly stylish and unusual, a selection of swatches that somehow works as a whole. And if you do happen accidentally to pull out the purple marker ribbon, don't worry: it makes a very swanky choker.
