The weather for the weekend was forecast to be wet so I played it safe and did not begin painting the mural. My procrastination paid off as heavy rain came in Saturday after lunch. The rain came in waves of light drizzle that lead up to heavy bursts and back again all through Sunday. Last night another front came in and that's when it really began to rain. I have a tin roof on my flat, and between the wind and the rain pounding overhead, I had to raise my voice to be heard from one side of the room to the other. On the path to the house the water ran over my ankles. And in the New Territories they have the Red Storm Signal raised (50+cm per hour of rain) and are flooding. This is supposed to continue till mid day tomorrow, then be fine to Thursday. But right now it's just overcast and I'm going to get done what I can before the next wave. I will begin drawing out the windows in pencil once I post today's painting allowing the wall to dry completely for painting on Wednesday. I have arranged for the final calligraphy to be painted Saturday. And that should do it. I have to say: I'm excited to see the windows go in because they are such a large part of the painting and will change the current look quite at bit.
Today's painting is done from a sketch I did in Stanley last week. There are squatter houses scattered about, especially west through the park beside Murray House. The water outside of Victoria harbor is such a spectacular blue color. Wish it came in a paint tube. I saw no need to go hang out in the rain today so worked from home using a blow dryer to combat the humidity.
New: I'm going to tutor painting and drawing again here in Hong Kong. I have helped students as young as 9th grade to Master of Fine Arts courses. I teach everything from charcoal and pastels to watercolor and oils. I work indoors at home or out and about. If you are interested feel free to contact me for more information. Happy painting.

September 2014
Written by: Paul Procter
A tad over 24", this Icelandic midge feeder topped 7 lb.—a true Viking fish in anyone's eyes.
Iceland Boasts Impressive Statistics:
Given it's in the grip of winter for much of the year, Iceland's trout season spans all of three months. And whilst the trout population eat outside of this period, they do cram in much of their feeding during June, July, and August. What remains incredible, though, is the spanking condition of these trout, especially when you consider their staple diet consists of midges. This year in particular has thrown up some amazing specimens, with trout as short as 18" weighing over 3 lb. that resemble footballs! At the other end of the scale, we recorded a 7-lb., 2-oz. fish, which measured all of 24.25". Who says trout don't grow big when feeding on tiny flies?
Black gnats might be small, but they often appear in the thousands, and this September should be no different.
Terrestrial Time:
September 2013 witnessed some of the best terrestrial falls on our streams up and down the country. Black gnats and the closely related fever fly were responsible for much of the action, though a bumper crop of crane flies (daddy long legs) helped, too. By all accounts, this season appears to be shaping up to be even better than the last. Early reports speak of countless terrestrials (namely gnats) throughout the Midlands, Yorkshire, North West, and Southern Scotland. There's no excuse, then, for not getting out there to enjoy prime dry-fly fishing before the season ends.
|Dropped Arse Gnat
Fly of the Month – Dropped Arse Gnat:
As we're anticipating prolific falls of black gnats throughout September, it seemed fitting to detail an appropriate imitation here. The aptly named Dropped Arse Gnat sits with its best part through the surface film as a partially drowned natural. Obviously, then, some form of curved hook offers an advantage, as, not only does this mimic the posture of a natural, it digs in to anchor a fly, thus minimizing drag. A tight-knit body of dyed herl helps breach any stubborn surface film, making sure the fly sits correctly. Varnish beneath these turns of herl helps to achieve a bombproof dressing. Buoyancy comes from the No-Fray winging material, CdC fibres, and the foam thorax cover.
As seen here, many terrestrials sit with their abdomen hanging subsurface, which the Dropped Arse Gnat copies to the letter.
Ladies on the Road:
In association with Orvis UK, led by Claire Zambuni, well-known American lady fly fishers have been travelling the length and breadth of our country to promote fly fishing for the fairer sex. Their schedule has included an appearance at the CLA and several Orvis retail stores. On 12 September, they will be hosting a day in London's Leicester Square, which promises to be a huge success. Judging by recent comments on social media sites, so far their trip has exceeded all expectations. With several schools and fly-fishing workshops organised each season specifically for ladies, Orvis UK is one of the few companies committed to catering for female anglers. Get updates and venues on Twitter at @OrvisUK and @OrvisLondon or Facebook at Orvis UK.
The whopping 16.5-lb. Itchen sea trout, which got many piscatorial tongues wagging in the south.
Bumper Sea Trout Season:
Reports of some exceptional sea trout are flooding in from our intrepid Orvis guide Mike Bilson. Late July and August have produced some cracking sea trout from many rivers, especially the chalkstreams of Hampshire. Jon Penny was fishing with his friend Richard in the customary night session when Richard landed a superb 16.5-lb. sea trout, which caused a stir in the local news! Robin Gould has scored well, too, both in Dorset and west Wales. Using a sparse Wickham's Fancy, he's landed some notable fish of up to 6 lb. during the early evening. However, after dark, a wee stoat's tail has been doing some serious damage. Countless other reports point to it being a bumper year, so we urge you to wet a line as the season soon draws to a close!
2014 Schools and Courses:
Orvis have a great range of schools and courses lined up for 2015, which cover all aspects of fly fishing. So whether you're a beginner or a more seasoned rod, chances are there'll be something for you. As well as appearing in their catalogue, dates and venues can be found soon on the website here.

New government policy may prevent OC bicycle accidents
James E. Ballidis
Comments (0)
James E. Ballidis
Comments (0)
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood would like to see more bicyclists and pedestrians on city streets. Last month, LaHood signed The Policy Statement on Bicycling and Pedestrian Accomodation Regulation and Recommendation. In his speech, he said "This is the end of favoring motorized transportation at the expense of non-motorized."
This is good news for bicyclists. The three key points of the new policy are:
1. Walking and bicycling should be treated as equal to other transportation modes.
2. City planners should incorporate convenient access for people of all ages and abilities to bicycle paths and walkways.
3. Sidewalks, bike routes and pedestrian walkways should be protected and maintained in the same way as roads ways are in regards to repairs, snow removal, and other maintenance.
Secretary La Hood sees this as a start towards more bicycle friendly communities.
This policy will help clean our air, promote energy efficiency, encourage exercise and most importantly, protect the lives of bicyclists and pedestrians. Making our streets less dangerous for bicyclists and pedestrians will prevent serious accidents and injury.
The Orange County personal injury attorneys at Allen, Flatt, Ballidis and Leslie have represented the victims of pedestrian accidents and bicycle accidents throughout California. If you have been seriously injured in a bicycle or pedestrian accident, contact our office. Even we don't represent you, our lawyers can help you get a start on your injury case.

Final Fantasy VI: Super Nintendo Entertainment System
April 2, 1994
RPG / Fantasy / Role-Playing
Final Fantasy VI takes place on a large, unnamed world. During the course of the game, its geography and landscape change due to various developments in the game's plot. During the first half of the game, the world is divided into three major continents and referred to as the World of Balance. The northern continent is punctuated by a series of mountain ranges and contains many of the locations accessible to the player. Most of the southern continent has been taken over by the Empire, while the eastern continent is home to a large patch of land called the Veldt where monsters from all over the world can be found. Halfway through the game, the world's geographical layout is altered, resulting in its three large continents splitting into several islands of various size situated around a larger continent at their center. This altered layout of the game's locations is referred to as the World of Ruin.
Super Nintendo
Final Fantasy VI, known as Final Fantasy III for SNES in the United States (because that's not confusing at all, right?) was released for both the Super Famicom and SNES in 1994. The game was developed by Squaresoft, a company that, of course, would later join forces with Enix to become … yes, Square Enix.
The game begins with the story of a young girl with a green ponytail (blonde in the original artwork) named Tina in Japan, Terra in the North American translation. To this day, Squaresoft/Square Enix all but swears she is not the main protagonist, that all the characters make up the team, but come on, please. The main theme music of the game is Tina/Terra's Theme, she is the first character you meet in the game, and for so many reasons I won't go into here, that argument is just completely invalid, but I digress.
Basically, and I will call her Terra from this point on, Terra is a magic user. You do have the ability to grind her abilities/skills/HP/MP to the point that she can be just as amazing a warrior as she can be a magic user. The same can be said for other party members later on.
You join up with these various other characters throughout the game, and each has strengths and weaknesses that you discover along the way. There are lots of hidden treasures, puzzles to solve, weepy moments, funny moments, did-that-really-just-happen?? moments, opportunities to work the ol' gray matter, and so on. The Japanese to English translations were done by a man many of you may know as Ted Woolsey.
Ted Woolsey was an interesting man with an intriguing, sometimes infuriating, sometimes hilarious way of truly making a project his own. If he couldn't make the storyline translate to what the actual Japanese storyline dictated, he pretty much took creative license and made it work any way he could. Many gamers take fault with this, for obvious reasons. And there is a certain line by a certain character at a point in the game where this is just absolutely hilarious, yet infuriating at the same time. I'll try not to spoil it too much for those who haven't played, but pay attention to when your go back to find your separated party at about the middle of the game, after a certain calamity happens … you'll see what I mean.
For a long time, especially in my teenage years, ages 14-18, I scoffed at this man's name, like a spoiled brat who didn't appreciate what was right in front of me. I thought his translation of this game was laughable, and I failed to understand why he didn't do things in what I thought was the "right" way, true to the original, and paying better attention to dialogue for certain circumstances in the game.
You will see Woolsey's translation on the SNES cartridge, as well as on the PS1 Final Fantasy Anthology disc. I suggest if you are interested in this game, one of these copies is the way to go, preferably the SNES, but FFA is a good substitute. I do not recommend playing the Gameboy Advance version of this game FIRST. I do not think you will enjoy the experience as much. Go with the SNES or the PS1 version for the maximized gaming experience. The Gameboy Advance version was supposed to be more true to the storyline, but they actually CUT OUT at least one scene due to its violent nature, but without that scene, the dialogue and events that occur afterward do not make much sense. I know the Woolsey translation can be a little goofy at times, but the Advance version really made me appreciate Mr. Woolsey so, so much more than I ever thought possible.
Also, there are a few glitches worth noting in this game in the SNES and PS1 versions. For example, Dark/Blind basically does nothing, but that's not a bad thing. You just get nifty looking sunglasses, but it really does not have a huge effect on your characters. Also, Evade was intended for physical evade, and while it is given a numerical value depending on your accessories, it does nothing. However, Magic Evade is both your physical and magical evade, so go by that. There are a few other glitches/bugs here and there, but these are the main ones to be aware of in the game. These bugs were fixed in the Gameboy Advance version, but in my opinion, it's not really all that worth it unless you just like having a handheld version of Final Fantasy VI (which I do, but I wish it were more like the original, even bugs and all, I wouldn't mind).
The soundtrack is excellent, as it was conducted by the one and only, composer Nobuo Uematsu. The songs translated well to a midi format, and are absolutely beautiful and definitely appropriate to the game. The graphics are great, especially if you enjoy games with 2D sprites (could Edgar really be flipping me off instead of wagging his finger at me …?); good maps; airships; intricate, elaborate castles and other structures; cozy little towns that seem so inviting; and the occasional breath-taking view of mountains, the ocean, and glimpses of the sun and sky itself.
Great role-playing game with a solid storyline, beautiful soundtrack, and excellent graphics.
Those who have no patience for role-playing games, strategy, or Ted Woolsey might want to pass.

Women and HIV
Every year, thousands of women are infected with HIV. Learn the facts. Teach the women in your family and community how to prevent and treat HIV.
What is HIV?
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. A person with HIV is called HIV positive (HIV+).
HIV makes it hard for your body to fight off sickness.
HIV is spread through body fluids like blood, semen, or breast milk.
You can get HIV when you:
Have sex with a person who is HIV+ and do not use a condom
Share needles or syringes (drug works) with someone who has HIV
Get blood from a person who has HIV. Now all donated blood is tested for HIV. You can't get HIV from giving blood.
Most women get HIV from having unprotected sex with men. Always use a condom every time you have sex.
You can't get HIV from shaking hands, kissing, or sharing household items like forks or glasses with someone who has HIV.
How do you know if someone has HIV?
The only way to know for sure is to get an HIV test.
You cannot tell who has HIV just by looking at them. Most people do not show any outward signs when they first get HIV.
A person can spread HIV even if he or she does not look sick.
How do you get tested for HIV?
There are three basic types of HIV tests: Blood, a small amount of blood is taken from your finger or arm. Oral, fluid is taken from the inside of your mouth, and Urine, a small cup of urine is used.
Some HIV tests take 1-2 weeks to get results from a lab. Other tests called "rapid HIV tests" give results in 20 minutes.
You can get tested at places like a doctor's office, mobile health van, or health fair.
To find a testing site near you: Call 1-800-232-4636 or text your zip code to KNOWIT (566948).
What is the "window period"?
It may take a few weeks or months for HIV to show up on a test. This time is called the "window period".
A person who was just infected with HIV may not test positive even though they have the virus.
A person can give the virus to others during the window period.
Is there a cure for HIV?
There is no cure for HIV. There are medicines that people with HIV can take to help stop the virus from building up in their body.
People with HIV may need to take 3 or more drugs every day. People with HIV should not stop taking their medicines without first talking to a doctor.
What should pregnant women know about HIV?
A woman can pass HIV to her baby during pregnancy, labor or delivery. A woman can also pass HIV to her baby during breastfeeding.
Women with HIV should talk to their doctor before they get pregnant.
Women with HIV can take medicine to lower the chance of giving her baby HIV. Some HIV medicines can cause birth defects.

Give Gov't charge of third-party insurance
THE EDITOR, Sir:
I am shocked at the level of insurance fraud in the transportation sector reported in the press. I would like to suggest a way out of this dilemma that may appear a little out of the box, but might ensure that those needing insurance payouts, the victims in the system, benefit.
Basic third-party insurance is required to be held by every vehicle, while further insurance (the components of a 'comprehensive' policy) is optional. I would argue that the essential third-party section of insurance be organised by Government and paid for by putting a few cents on a litre of fuel. Comprehensive policies can be arranged, as they are now, between the vehicle owner and insurance companies.
This way, we could be assured that all fuel-burning vehicles would be insured if they run into you, and equity would be addressed in that those who drive a lot and burn a lot of fuel would pay more for insurance. It would be one less thing for the police to try to assess when stopping a car to check the papers.
I believe that organising essential insurance in this fashion would be better for all of us, and is unlikely to be unpopular with even insurance companies, which often lose money on car insurance.
The service could be put out to bid to the same insurance companies to be paid for with funds from the fuel charge.
I think the principle is that 'if it is an essential service', the Government should facilitate its organisation. I believe that the coverage of the victims of road accidents is too important to allow the 'bandooloo' sector to sacrifice.

Color Jackie Robinson
Color in this picture of Jackie Robinson, the first baseball player to break the 'color line', an unspoken rule in baseball that prevented African-American players from playing in the major leagues from the early 1900s until the late 1940s. Jackie Robinson paved the way for many great talents in baseball.

I appreciate the art of digital photography very much. I also enjoy taking pictures for which I think I have a good eye but I don't have the greatest equipment. I do what I can with what I have but I really admire those who can create gorgeous imagery. There are a lot of photos online these days and it takes a while to sort through them all to find the sites of those who have risen above the sea of mediocrity. I follow a handful of amazing photographers on their blogs or Facebook and I thought I would mention them here in a post so that you, too, can enjoy their work.
Leanne Cole from Australia who creates the most stunning black and white images.
Willie Ford (Balrath Photography) in Ireland whose HDR photos are both dynamic and serene at the same time.
Sven Fennema from Germany whose architectural shots (both interior and exterior) are exquisite.
Olga Viarenich whose images can only be described as exquisitely luminous.
Aren't they amazing?
Until next time… Seek out the gems.

Traditional Chinese medicine is practiced in Brisbane and all over the world and has been for 2,400 years. This practice is indigenous to China and is made up of four distinct and major branches. There is acupuncture, herbology, bodywork and health benefiting exercises. This type of medicine bases its theories of illnesses and treatments on climate factors, diet habits and lifestyles and not on gods, omens and spirits as some might think. Here is a brief look at the four major branches.
Acupuncture – This is probably the most widely heard of and most commonly used branch of Chinese medicine, even in Brisbane. It originally began with pressing objects into very sensitive places on the body and then it developed into what we know now with the insertion of needles in what is known as acupuncture points in the body. By observing the psychological as well as the physiological responses from the stimulation, Chinese medicine was able to develop very detailed maps of these points that influence the landscape of the human body and the effects on a person's physical and mental health.
Herbology – In China the knowledge of herbs and their medicinal powers has been the most dominant branch of Chinese medicine, whereas in places like Brisbane it might be overlooked at times. The Chinese used both indigenous herbs and herbs brought over by traders from all over the Asian continent and the theories and the uses of the herbs actually comprise the largest part of their medical publications through the centuries. One of the earliest medical books published in English was called "The Yellow Emperor's Classic on Internal Medicine" in this book it advises that herbs should be used just like a general would use his soldiers going into battle. It is said that strategy and tactics must be used for individual herbs and their effects when combined together for illness in order to help return the body back to its natural balance. Herbology's main focus is holistic and it takes into account both the strength and the nature of the pathogen attacking the person, the age of the person, the sex of the person along with how fragile or robust they might be.
Bodywork – This branch is probably the oldest branch and the most influential. Starting as simple as a mother rubbing her child's stomach because of a stomach ache to someone patting someone on the back to help them when they are having coughing spasms, the use of hands to help with the sick was the very first tool in every medical system in the world. The Chinese improved upon this tool by different levels of massage therapy. All massage in all parts of the world all have their origin in Chinese medicine.
Health Benefiting Exercises – A lot of people see this as folk practices and not medicine. But in Chinese medicine health benefiting exercises have a very long medical history and has been very influential. The Chinese have always taught daily exercise was essential, but not exercise like jogging or aerobics as we know today but more gentle and harmonizing types of exercise that help the cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous system through gentle motions in order to keep the mind and body balanced. The three systems in Chinese medicine are called Blood, Qi and the Spirit.

Characterization of post-thaw recovery of cord blood progenitors cryopreserved with novel recrystallization inhibitors
Project location: Ottawa
Estimated Project Start Date: 2015-12-18
Estimated Project End Date: 2017-12-18
Description of Material and total number required to complete this research project: 20 cord blood units
Lay Summary of the Research Project:
Umbilical cord blood is a rich source of stem and progenitor cells with current and future applications in regenerative medicine. The national public cord blood bank (NPCBB) collects and stores cord blood units for future stem cell transplantation. Cryopreservation is the storage of biological products at temperatures below -180 degrees Celsius. The current standard for cord blood banking is to cryopreserve cord blood units with 10% DMSO. However, DMSO is associated with a number of toxic effects. Given that the majority of cellular injury during cryopreservation is a direct result of ice growth, we hypothesize that our novel small molecule ice recrystallization inhibitors will minimize the cellular damage associated with ice growth and will result in improved cord blood unit functionality when thawed.
Application of human NK cell therapy and the use of humanized mice to study prevention and treatment against cancer
Project location: Hamilton
Estimated Project Start Date: 2016-01-05
Estimated Project End Date: 2017-06-30
Description of Material and total number required to complete this research project: 120 cord blood units
Lay Summary of the Research Project:
Until recently, responses of the human immune system to human cancers and human specific infections, such as Hepatitis C virus, were not possible to study in a mouse model. The goal of our research is to use cord blood stem cells isolated from umbilical cord blood to generate "humanized mice" which have a functional human immune system. This gives us the ability to investigate how our immune system works in a living system, against a variety of diseases which are impossible to examine at this level in humans. We aim to study both cancers, such as breast cancer and infections, such as Hepatitis C virus. Through a cell culture method established in our lab, we can produce a large number of immune system cells from a small cord blood sample. These immune cells can then be used to treat humanized mice with either tumors or infection. Ultimately, through cord blood donation, we will be able to generate humanized mice and apply what we learn to create more effective treatments to fight breast cancer and viral infection.
Effects of radiation on cord blood-derived stem cells
Project location (town): Chalk River
Project status: On-going
Expected Project Start Date: 2015-09-01
Expected Project End Date: 2020-04-01
Description of material and total number required to complete this research project: 30
Lay Summary of the Research Project:
Patients with hematological cancers often undergo stem cell transplantation that requires high dose chemo- or radio-therapy to kill all resident leukemic cells followed by transplantation of blood stem cells from a healthy donor. Unfortunately, 50% of patients undergoing this therapy still succumb to the disease due to leukemia re-emergence (leukemia relapse). One of the hypotheses for leukemia relapse is the existence of leukemic cells that are resistant to chemo-/radio-treatment. However, recent studies have shown that low doses of radiation can induce biological effects that promote cancer cell destruction. We propose to study whether low doses of radiation given to patients prior to chemo-/radio-therapy and stem cell transplantation can promote better leukemia cell destruction. This approach may greatly improve the outcomes of transplantation therapy and prevent future leukemia relapse. Importantly, these studies require the use of human blood stem cells and cord blood is a rich source of these cells.
Development and validation of a humanized mouse model for the pre-clinical evaluation of vaccines against liver pathogens
Project location: Edmonton
Project status: On-going
Expected Project Start Date: 2015-03-17
Expected Project End Date: 2015-10-17
Estimated number of whole cord blood units required to complete this research project: 25
Lay Summary of the Research Project:
Malaria is responsible for nearly 1.24 million deaths annually, mostly young children in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite decades of research, a vaccine to prevent malaria remains elusive. One of the major challenges in vaccine development is lack of suitable animal models to evaluate new experimental vaccines. Chimpanzees and other primates are not available for either ethical or financial reason and there is currently no way to test vaccines in mice against the human species of parasites. In order to overcome some of these obstacles, we will develop a mouse transplanted with a human liver and a human immune system established from cord blood. We will use these mice to test new experimental malaria vaccines. The ability to optimize the delivery of the vaccine in mice prior to embarking on expensive human trials will enable the rapid early phase development of promising vaccines against malaria and other pathogens that infect the liver.
Cell production augmentation techniques
Project location: Kingston
Project status: On-going
Expected Project Start Date: 2015-03-01
Expected Project End Date: 2015-07-01
Estimated number of whole cord blood units required to complete this research project: 20
Lay Summary of the Research Project:
Regenerative medicine involving the transplantation of cells holds great promise for improving the clinical efficacy of conventional treatments. This is possible because the implantation of repair-specific cells (such as stem cells from cord blood) have the ability to restore tissue to normal function. The current procedures to create cell-based products are all manual in nature and hence do not enable high reproducibility and cost-effectiveness. Automated production could potentially be achieved through the robotic duplication of manual actions; however, the general industry challenge is that existing robotic systems for basic cell culture are highly complex, require significant space for operation, and require a high capital equipment investment. We are investigating cell parameters and system requirements to develop an innovative, cost-effective and automated bioreactor-based system to meet the clinical production challenges related to cord blood expansion in order to provide more options for patient transplant.
Strategies for enhancing cell therapy for optimal regeneration in pulmonary arterial hypertension – SECTOR-PAH
Project location: Ottawa
Project status: On-going
Expected Project Start Date: 2014-11-28
Expected Project End Date: 2018-11-27
Estimated number of whole cord blood units required to complete this research project: 200
Lay Summary of the Research Project:
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating disease in which high blood pressures in the lung lead to heart failure and eventually death. Emerging regenerative therapies involving endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have begun to show some promise in clinical trials. Although EPCs are typically rare in circulating blood, we now know that they are more abundant in cord blood and may also be even more efficient at cardiovascular repair. We intend to use cord blood to efficiently generate EPCs and perform studies so that we may better understand why they are effective in PAH. With a better understanding of their mechanisms, we aim to develop methods to further enhance the activity EPCs to design more effective therapies for cardiovascular diseases such as PAH.
Ex Vivo Differentiation of Human Hematopoietic and Endothelial Progenitor Cells for Genomics and Proteomics Analyses
Project location: Ottawa
Project status: On-going
Expected Project Start Date: 2014-08-05
Expected Project End Date: 2019-08-04
Estimated number of whole cord blood units required to complete this research project: 300
Lay Summary of the Research Project:
Cord blood is a rich source of blood stem cells. These cells are currently used therapeutically in patients with beta-thalassemia, leukemia, limb ischemia, myocardial infarction and stroke. However, blood stem cells cannot be isolated in sufficient quantities to treat adults and cannot be expanded in the laboratory. Furthermore, there is room to improve their efficiency in repairing diseased tissue.
Our laboratory is using innovative technologies to decipher the role of specific proteins that control the function of blood stem cells. This will allow us to identify specific drugs to ameliorate the ability of these cells to treat disease. We anticipate that our study will lead to the development of new strategies to 1) expand blood stem cells in the laboratory such that enough cells can be produced to treat adults; and 2) improve the function of blood stem cells such that they are more efficient in repairing damaged blood vessels.
Evaluation of culture media for cord blood-derived progenitor cells
Project location: Vancouver
Project status: On-going
Expected Project Start Date: 2014-08-05
Expected Project End Date: 2015-09-01
Estimated number of whole cord blood units required to complete this research project: 20
Lay Summary of the Research Project:
A set of blood-derived progenitor cells could be useful for the treatment of diseases as diverse as vascular disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes. However, these circulating cells are extremely rare, and must be cultured (grown in medium) to expand their numbers before use. We are evaluating several cell culture media for the isolation and expansion cord blood-derived progenitor cells, which could be useful in the future in human cell therapy.
Elucidating the role of PCL2 in normal hematopoiesis and leukemogenesis
Project location: Ottawa
Project status: On-going
Expected Project Start Date: 2014-08-20
Expected Project End Date: 2015-08-20
Estimated number of whole cord blood units required to complete this research project: 75
Lay Summary of the Research Project:
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is one of the deadliest types of cancers. 30-40% of AML patients younger than 60 years of age are long-term survivors, while only 10-15% of patients over 60 years of age are long-term survivors. Less than 10% of patients with relapsed AML survive long-term. The standard treatment has not changed in over 30 years, which is why survival rates have not improved. We recently identified a protein called PCL2, which is abnormally expressed in most AML patients. We believe that PCL2 could be a target for new chemotherapeutic drugs to treat AML patients that harbour PCL2 mutations. To pursue this strategy, we need to understand the role of PCL2 in normal and leukemic blood development. Therefore we will manipulate the expression of PCL2 in umbilical cord blood cells to help us understand the role of PCL2 with the ultimate goal of developing better therapies for AML.
Developing bioprocesses to expand cord blood hematopoietic stem cells for clinical use
Project location: Toronto
Project status: On-going
Expected Project Start Date: 2014-09-10
Expected Project End Date: 2019-03-31
Estimated number of whole cord blood units required to complete this research project: 540
Lay Summary of the Research Project:
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation is the only stem cell therapy routinely performed in patients with leukemia and lymphoma. However 40% of patients will not find a suitable bone marrow donor. Using umbilical cord blood (UCB) as an alternative source of HSCs has several advantages, including non-invasiveness, ready availability, and a higher tolerance for HLA mismatches. The limited number of stem and progenitor cells in a single UCB unit has impaired the success rate of UCB transplants. Our lab has developed an automated closed-system bioprocess that robustly expands UCB-derived HSCs and progenitors. Our next steps involve the use of a novel small molecule and integrating the detection system into the bioreactor to automate media injection, both of which will maximize the expansion of stem cells and enable the real-time control of the UCB cell culture in a sample-specific manner while minimizing the media use and the associated cost.
Characterization of the hematopoietic reconstitution enhancing activity of osteoblasts derived from human mesenchymal stromal cells
Project location: Ottawa
Project status: On-going
Expected Project Start Date: 2014-09-22
Expected Project End Date: 2017-04-01
Estimated number of whole cord blood units required to complete this research project: 75
Lay Summary of the Research Project:
Umbilical cord blood transplantation provides the opportunity for patients without a suitable donor to receive a life-saving stem cell transplantation. This procedure is however associated with a slower recovery of blood cells. Cord blood stem cells can be expanded in culture, and these have been shown to be able to produce blood cells faster. In this proposal, we will investigate how bone marrow cells regulate the growth of cord blood stem cells. We will also try to identify molecules that are responsible for these activities. This research will foster new knowledge on the role of bone cells as important regulators of blood cell production, and may lead to new solutions to improve cord blood transplantation. Indeed, new approaches are urgently needed to address the needs of the increasing number of Canadian patients who will soon rely on UCB transplantation for their continuing health.

Clinics And Coaching
From a young age I wanted to share my love for windsurfing with my friends and family and discovered that I had the confidence and knowledge to teach. As my journey in windsurfing continued I wanted to use this skill to help not just people I knew but everyone regardless of age gender or experience.
I believe everyone should stand on a board at least once in there life! With my clinic's and coaching I have the chance to help beginners get the basics , advanced windsurfers to improve and get new people involved. It gives me a real buzz to watch people progress as well as the perfect oppertunity to meet new people from all walks of life.
I give windsurf clinic's for every level. The clinics are all tailored to the dynamics of the group or individual. They currently take place in my home country of Holland but with there popularity growing I plan to take them all over the world. with my grasp of several languages i aim to cater for multiple nationalities.
The demand for clinics has increased with my success and I am regularly approached not just by windsurfers. I have catered for corporate days out and am looking to work more closely with local authorities and schools to help introduce windsurfing into the community.
More than Just Windsurfing
A windsurf clinic involves more than just learning windsurfing. Its a platform for me to introduce myself. During the clinics I take the time to get to know my clients I believe that building these relations is an important part of being both a coach and an ambassador to my sponsors and sport.

If you are seeking Individual retirement account guaranteed awareness, you will need a couple of specifics. The one return that is accompanied by a assure can be a govt connect or perhaps a federally insured certificate of deposit. However , the profits on these kinds of opportunities have become low. 3 % interest rates are about the only thing you should expect. You will discover much better choices for finance your retirement life.
Experts always advocate the application of your taxes protected retirement living are the reason for your most profitable opportunities. That might seem like common-sense, numerous individuals do not think of it that way. Real estate investors use their retirement reports to finance the bargains how they think will give back one of the most revenue. Like that, they maintain really their income inside their purses. It is not Individual retirement account confirmed attention, but it is a large returning.
Should you be unaware you could takes place account for real estate investing, you might like to change custodians. You can only make real estate property bargains through a self-directed account. Even some personal-led custodians do not provde the solution.
Numerous successes have been authored by custodians that will encourage the selection. One buyer made Bucks20,000 into Bucks1.two million in a mere a couple of years. Obtained he chosen IRA guaranteed awareness by using a certificate of deposit building 4.07Percentage, (the biggest in the nation at this time) however have $22,597, these days.
There's simply no strategy to deposit your old age in this way. It's seldom enough to take care of inflation. I recognize that some people are Inpossibility-averse", but what risk is absolutely mixed up in market? When you are not obtaining swamp terrain in Texas or investing in a new and unproven progress, there's almost no risk concerned. Commonly, shareholders you must do looking for residences requiring maintenance or would-be property owners in need of capital. Either are really easy to discover right this moment.
On account of a number of real estate foreclosures, a lot of households are remaining inside a Half inchi am sorry talk aboutInch. It is sometimes actually possible to buy them for half the normal commission of their total sensible market value, have a little work done and resale them for the enormous gain. Also because the several home foreclosures, financial institutions have stiffened their lending routines. There are lots of individuals who InchwantHalf inch to acquire a home, but are not able to qualify for the bigger credit history standards that finance institutions are actually staying with.
Gradually, they can be eligible for a traditional loans, but they want a spot to reside In .nowInch. They will leap at a Inchrent-to-individualInches plan. As opposed to the IRA sure attention [] that you might receive from a certificate of deposit, your account takes in lease profits all year round therefore the revenue on the very last sale.
That is definitely how account entrepreneurs are switching small 1st ventures into huge amounts of money inside a somewhat limited time. This can be a especially very good financial commitment decision for those of you which have been nearing age of retirement. You will need several years to convert Money20,000 into Buck30,000 with IRA confirmed home interest rates. Just isn't possible you could ever before morph it into a thousand. Think it over.

Jennifer Hudson's half-brother Stephen Angelo Simpson was arrested on Tuesday, Aug. 19 after he allegedly stabbed a man several times on Monday in South Haven Charter Township in Van Buren County, Michigan, reports local CBS affiliate WWMT.
Simpson, 45, allegedly stormed into his estranged wife's apartment and repeatedly stabbed the woman's current boyfriend, whom police only identified as Charlie, in the chest, arms and face, witnesses told the website.
A neighbor told WWMT that the couple left to get help around 3 a.m. "He said someone knocked on the door. He thought he was knocking on the door for somebody, and he started getting stabbed up," the neighbor said. "I open the door and see blood everywhere. He was stabbed in his chin and his chest, he had puncture wounds in his chest and his arms and stuff."
Police told WWMT, Simpson's estranged wife locked herself in the bathroom until he left, adding that they are unsure exactly who was the intended target of the attack. Simpson has a history of domestic violence, and is currently on probation after he was previously arrested several times, most recently for assaulting his wife on Super Bowl Sunday, the website reports.
Meanwhile, Simpson's Oscar and Grammy-winning half-sister (they share the same father Samuel Simpson), has yet to make a statement regarding his arrest.
And as TMZ notes, the incident mirrors another tragedy for the Hudson family. In 2008, William Balfour -- the ex-boyfriend of Jennifer's sister Julia -- murdered her mother, brother and nephew in a "jealous rage" triggered by what he thought was a gift to Julia from her new boyfriend.

Under the GDPR, individuals have new rights regarding the portability of their personal data between data controllers.
What do marketers need to know?
Well, here's Article 20 of the GDPR, concerning the right to data portability. The first two paragraphs are as follows:
1) The data subject shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where:
- the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) or point (a) of Article 9(2) or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1); and
- the processing is carried out by automated means.
2) In exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to paragraph 1, the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible.
Of all the parts of the GDPR, this is one which really piqued the interest (and potentially ire) of many businesses. Paragraph one may be challenge enough for some, but marketers would be forgiven for reading paragraph two with a shade of reluctance.
Many companies see significant competitive advantage in their ability to collect and format personal data in a useful way. This isn't the sort of thing they want to be passing to a competitor.
Fairly obviously it's about choice for the individual
There's no doubt this sounds great for the consumer though. Article 20 should give individuals control over their personal data, and allow more freedom of choice when it comes to choosing a service.
The Working Party guidelines state that previous legislation (the Data Protection Directive) gave individuals the right to data access, but that individuals "were constrained by the format chosen by the data controller when providing the requested information." The GDPR changes this and is set to "enrich customer experiences".
It levels the business playing field
PwC eloquently points out that the rationale of the right to portability is to create a level playing field "for newly established service providers that wish to take on more established providers."
Perhaps a consumer wants to change insurance provider – in theory they may no longer have to request their details from their insurer (no claims proof, for example), but can request they are sent directly between the two companies.
What does all this look like to the consumer?
The guidelines give a couple of nice examples, saying "a data subject might be interested in retrieving his current playlist (or a history of listened tracks) from a music streaming service, to find out how many times he listened to specific tracks, or to check which music he wants to purchase or listen to on another platform. Similarly, he may also want to retrieve his contact list from his webmail application, for example, to build a wedding list, or get information about purchases using different loyalty cards, or to assess his or her carbon footprint."
As to how this is achieved, here are some points to bear in mind:
- The means for data portability should include "download tools and Application Programming Interfaces". One can imagine a self-service tool, as well as an API that deals with controller-to-controller portability.
- "Data portability can promote the controlled and limited sharing" of personal data. This implies individuals should be able to choose what data to download.
- "Documents encoded in a file format that limits automatic processing, because the data cannot, or cannot easily, be extracted from them, should not be considered to be in a machine-readable format." This arguably includes PDF files.
- The guidance notes that "where no formats are in common use for a given industry or given context, data controllers should provide personal data using commonly used open formats (e.g. XML, JSON, CSV,…) along with useful metadata at the best possible level of granularity."
What data is included?
As implied in the music streaming service example, this right to data portability covers not just data provided actively by the subject, but also generated by their activity (if this is recorded).
This should set marketers to wondering exactly what data they need to record about their customers.
Remember 'legitimate interests'
Remember though, the right to data portability applies only where processing is based on consent or on a contract, and where data is processed automatically.
Marketers may already be fairly confident that activity such as website personalisation will be processed based on legitimate interests, and as such, the impact of data portability may be at least confined to those key areas that truly impact on a user's ability to choose between services.

So PwC reckon that there will be a level playing field "for newly established service providers that wish to take on more established providers" ?
I'm not so sure.
If I was an established service provider and any company wanted my data I would seriously be tempted to levy a heavy admin charge to that service provider for my customer data. After all, I've gathered all that data at 'great cost' to my business and I am potentially losing a customer to a rival. Even more so now that I can't charge the customer anymore for access to their data under GDPR.
So although the idea of a level playing field is a good one however, unless there is a standardised fee agreed between organisation, I think that in reality it won't happen. Service providers will place significant barriers to each other to slow the pace of data portability and/or profit from each other by it.
@Morgan The guidance would seem to preclude any charging. Here:
"Article 12 prohibits the data controller from charging a fee for the provision of the personal data, unless the data controller can demonstrate that the requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, "in particular because of their repetitive character". For information society services that specialise in automated processing of personal data, implementing automated systems such as Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)27 can facilitate the exchanges with the data subject, hence lessen the potential burden resulting from repetitive requests. Therefore, there should be very few cases where the data controller would be able to justify a refusal to deliver the requested information, even regarding multiple data portability requests.
In addition, the overall cost of the processes created to answer data portability requests should not be taken into account to determine the excessiveness of a request. In fact, Article 12 of the GDPR focuses on the requests made by one data subject and not on the total number of requests received by a data controller. As a result, the overall system implementation costs should neither be charged to the data subjects, nor be used to justify a refusal to answer portability requests."
Fair enough. However, while you or I will not be charged for our requests (which is a good thing) I can seriously see organisations creatively obfuscating data requests to each other to such a degree that they will seek to profit from each other. Employing an API or an open standard to a similar degree that financial institutions do when performing credit checks will come at a cost initially and they will look to pass that cost on somewhere.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
@Morgan Will certainly be fascinating to see the extent to which portability is adopted. Thanks for reading and commenting.
While I'm not sure there is the risk Morgan suggests in terms of the financial side, all of the GDPR legislation suggests that companies must do what that can within their means without a significant financial or resource impact on them. As a result, most of the data requests initially will come in whatever format is easiest for the business which I can't imagine will be that readable / uploadable for competitors and will vary across every company within an industry.
As a result, while there is an interesting concept of companies being able to get a customer's back data post GDPR, I reckon it's unlikely to come to fruition any time in the short term...
@Matt The scenario I'm thinking of is in automotive and particularly in fleet. This article (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/27/automobiles/wheels/car-data-tracking.html) highlights how much sensitive information is captured in the car.
This information is incredibly valuable to the manufacturer and comes at great cost i.e. development of in-car technology (usually bespoke to that manufacturer) and this in turn helps them build 'better' cars.
Now imagine I am a Fleet Manager who has been a Mercedes customer for x years. I have decided to terminate my contract with Mercedes and opt for Audi instead. In order for Audi to provide a better service to my fleet they require the data from Mercedes regarding my fleet's driving habits (for insurance purposes, driving habits and other factors) to better supply their services to my fleet. This data is 'unique' to Mercedes because it is derived from their vehicles. However, the data they have is about the driver and subsequently falls under GDPR. A data request from the client (or Audi) would potentially represent a real headache as sensitive information not only about the driver but also about how Mercedes business operates is now being requested.
Mercedes are effectively being asked to give up intel about their customers and in the process reveal how they handle this information giving their rivals a valuable insight into how they operate. Even worse as it's a fleet customer the data request could number in the hundreds (possibly thousands) and lets not forget there are numerous different operating systems that control the cars's computers (https://humanizing.tech/the-new-battleground-car-operating-systems-609592e07a31) and exchanging that data represents a real headache.
And I haven't even touched upon third party fleet firms:(https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/2015/2/9/uk-council-fleet-drops-below-50-000-vehicles/54766/) and the impact of GDPR on them.
This is where I think cost will play a part as I can't imagine that this will go down well with any manufacturer and they will look to claw back anything they can out of this.
FYI. This area concerns me as I deal with many automotive clients (manufacturers and retail) and their customer comms and we are currently priming them for GDPR.
I completely get that Morgan.
I think this is where the 'legitimate interests' aspect may come in to play in terms of the argument being the data was captured to best provide a service to the customer rather than as a result of opt ins. As such (and I appreciate this is still a grey area) form what i've seen, this data wouldn't necessarily need to be provided...
@Matt. Thanks for the reply. I'll bear that in mind.
