The Future of Technology in Healthcare
The pace of medical technology advances boggles even the minds of the doctors and researchers involved. While the media seems to be focused on drug and treatment pricing inequities, doctors struggle to keep up with the array of new options they could (or should) offer patients. Insurers, healthcare advocates, government entities and non-profits all face great challenges in creating coverage arrangements and delivery systems that keep up with the pace of medical advances and connected health.
Here we cover the most recent advances in the treatment and diagnosis of most challenging diseases of our time. Some are closer to market than others. We hope providing this overview of the future of technology in healthcare enriches your practice, career and/or overall health. Be on the lookout for these topics in the media!
Technological Progress in Cancer Treatment
Targeted Treatment
Scientists at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard used the proteins in DNA molecules as scaffolding to build nano-sized electronic circuits and drug delivery devices. These devices can be towed to the specific places in the body rather than subjecting all cells in the body to certain potentially debilitating treatments . . . like chemotherapy.
Personalized Medicine
Much more than just getting to know you, personalized medicine will involve sequencing the DNA of each patient in order to formulate appropriate drug cocktails and other treatments. Since cancer tends to become its own entity once it proliferates in an individual, DNA sequencing could engender a specificity that empowers the rest of the body to stay healthy enough to fight cancer in a contained, targeted location.
Technological Progress in Obesity and Diabetes
Up to fifty percent of patients with chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes do not follow prescribed treatments. When a patient doesn't comply with treatment protocol, the health system that treats him or her loses its power to heal. Dismal compliance rates demoralize healthcare professionals. Doctors and others try nagging patients, showing them powerful statistics, making them watch frightening videos or listen to stories about others who failed to follow healthcare directives. And still, 50% don't carry out the doctor's orders.
Teams at several universities are working on another strategy: get patients to play a game. After all, apps like Candy Crush, Angry Birds and more, are ubiquitous and addictive. Turning health directives into a game shows promise for motivating clients and collecting the data needed for both health professionals and patients to make informed decisions on the daily activities that promote or denigrate health. Called "gamified health tracking," the smartphone apps work to keep patients within recommendations. Examples include Jawbone, Fitlinxx, FitBit, Atari Fit, Nike + Running, Fitocracy, FitRPG, Strava, and Spire. The short-term gratification of that triple cheeseburger could be waylaid by the short-term gratification of winning points or getting to the next game level. After all, we all need our little, daily reinforcements. Next time you hear, "gamified health tracking," don't dismiss it. It could save your or your patient's life.
Technological Progress in Heart Issues
The "gamified health tracking" discussed above would work well with another widespread, chronic issue: heart disease. The exercise and diet modifications doctors treating heart disease recommend fit well into a game structure. Hopefully, the quick rewards the game provides will begin to replace the sedentary, processed-food lifestyle of so many today with blocked arteries and deficient heart function.
While heart disease accounts for one in four of all deaths (including accidents and cancer) in the United States, heart arrhythmias, too, threaten the lives and lifestyle of millions. The pacemaker proved a lifesaving device for heart arrhythmia patients around the world, but its battery dies every seven years or so. The surgery to replace it is not only expensive, it can be dangerous; particularly for the elderly patients who are the most common sufferers of arrhythmias.
If you'll allow a common comparison, scientists at the University of Michigan are on track to develop the Prius Hybrid of pacemakers. If you haven't enjoyed a Prius Hybrid ride to date, you may be surprised to learn that the action of pressing on the break creates the electricity that powers much of the car. Similarly, Dr. Amin Karami and his team have developed a device that stores the electricity generated from the beating heart. They aim to make pacemaker replacements obsolete by storing energy from the beating muscle. Excited by preliminary trials, Karami and his team will soon test the technology on a human heart. They've already used a version to store electricity created by vibrations in the inner ear to power a radio.
Technological Progress in Brain Issues
Recent NFL scandals have provided much needed reminders about the delicate nature of the brain. Slight trauma can have lasting effects, particularly when trauma is repeated or occurs in sensitive areas. Now, researchers at Guangzhou Institute of Biomedicine and Health in China, have used waste cells from urine to create "progenitor cells." With the help of retroviruses, the body uses these modified cells as building blocks for brain cells. While embryonic stems cells have been used in the past to repair brain damage, researchers have been disappointed by their propensity to produce tumors. Early tests indicate that the urine-based cells shape into neurons free of tumors or mutations. Watch for human trials of this technology from China!
To this point, a central method of repairing physical brain damage has been rehabilitation, a retraining that re-builds neural connections through physical action. Now, researchers are working on a "Portable NeuroModulation Simulator" or PoNS, a small device that stimulates the nerve clusters in the tongue which are connected to the brain. PoNS is showing promise for repairing the effects of alcoholism, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and more.
Technological Progress in COPD and other Lung Diseases
Patients with COPD and lung cancer can languish on lung replacement waiting lists until it's too late. If new lungs could be created with the volume and specificity of artificial knees, many families could enjoy their loved ones for decades longer.
Glauco Souza and his team and at Nano 3-D Biosciences are working hard to create this catalog of replacement lungs. They are successfully growing lung tissue not in a two-dimensional petri dish but a 3-D shape suspended above a nutrient solution. Using nano-magnets, the 3-D growth more closely mimics cellular growth as it occurs in the body. The hope is that this tissue has a lower chance of rejection than that grown in petri dishes. Synthetic lung transplants rather than donor tissues means shortened wait times and patient lists.
Technological Progress in Orthopedics
When plastics were first invented, one business "expert" quipped, "Sure. But what is it good for? Maybe ping pong balls, but that's all." 3-D printers came with its phalanx of detractors as "pundits" said, "who needs more plastic keychains and salt shakers." Those initial prototypes were just the beginning for the visionaries who saw 3-D printers as solving a myriad of social and even medical problems.
The orthopedists were the first to stand in line for 3-D printers. Give them credit for adapting a printer so that it holds a material that disintegrates over time. Before that happens, they make a model with the same strength, flexibility and most of all unique shape, of a damaged bone. They insert it into body and wait for the real bone to grow up around it like a scaffold. The combination of zinc, silicon and calcium phosphate eventually deteriorates and natural processes take over. So far, it's been successfully tested in rabbits, and researchers are excited for human trials.

Aug. 31, 2017: Sen. Mitchell has tongue-in-cheek fun with dinosaur bill
August 31, 2017
SACRAMENTO (Aug. 31, 2017) -- Senators today heard and voted on dozens of serious measures but for a few brief minutes Sen. Holly J. Mitchell had fun with a bill carried by Sen. Henry Stern establishing an official state dinosaur. Below is an almost word-for-word record of what she said.
- Thank you Mr./Madam President,
- I raise with concerns about choosing the Augustynolophys (AW-gus-TEEN-oh-low-fuss) morrisi as our state dinosaur
- While I was amused by his ROCK-star status on twitter, I feel that our duck-billed herbivore friend does not fit in with our other state symbols such as the Sabre-Tooth Cat and the California Grizzly
- As I'm sure you are all well aware – California was believed to be under water during the Cretaceous period and therefore I feel the , a water-lizard, would be more intimidating choice and would better represent our state
- That being said, I think this bill is DINO-MITE and will foster curiosity for our youth in paleontology and STEM
- While I think we should TRY-rannosaurus harder to pick a more intimidating selection, I'll throw you a bone and withdraw my opposition.
- The Augustynolophys morrisi is a constituent and resides in the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. I'll pay him a visit to let him know the good news
- Thank you for indulging me, I know dinosaur puns are Pterrible.

The 1696 Mallorcan Castle Also Used In The Spanish Civil War
Some of the places we visited on the island of Mallorca were very busy, like this scene at Cala Bona. So we headed to the very end of the seafront, where the sun umbrellas disappeared and the land is as it was before the developers came along to cash in on the tourism.
Here there was peace and we left the crowds behind, other than a lone fisherman ...
... and the wild flowers of the headland.
We had heard that on the headland there was an old castle so we followed the rocky tracks amongst the shrub-land and at last had a sighting.
And finally we made it to the Castell de Sa Punta de n'Amer.
The small castle or fortress was open to all visitors so we went to have a look round, first walking over the drawbridge ...
and then inside ...
... and also up to a higher floor via a creepy spiral stone staircase while wondering who else has climbed here since 1696 when the castle was completed.
And finally up more steps to the battlements ...
... with a view out to the Mediterranean sea.
The castle last saw any real action during the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939. The headland was an important base for the army and the castle itself served as a news site for the nationalists.
Not far from the castle an annexe was built which served as accommodation for the soldiers. Fortunately today this has been turned into a small cafe/bar/restaurant.
Luckily it was open so we had an ice cold beer and later a coffee while looking out on wonderful scenery - perfect. Other than, of course, we still had a long walk back to where we had come from!

Wow, that beach is crowded! But the walk looks fantastic. That castle is similar to castillo de san marcos in st. augustine, fl. Same kind of layout, thick stone walls, creepy stone staircase, the whispers of the past. The view from "your" castle is really stunning.ReplyDeleteReplies
Didn't know of castillo de san marcos - just looked it up - must pay a visit some day!Delete

Thanks Tom. Hoping all is well with you. I see I just missed you by a few minutes!Delete
Strangely similar. Here's a link to the post we did on san marcos:ReplyDelete
Thanks for the link Trish. I remember the post now that I have read it again but had forgotten the castle.Delete

Three weeks ago, I joined the PPC team at White. Let me be the first to put my hand up and say I never expected to end up in digital marketing. I recently graduated from Oxford University with a Masters in Chemistry. But, having hung up my lab coat and specs, I began my foray into the world of digital. Now, three weeks in, having passed my AdWords qualifications and already been given the opportunity to do some hands-on work with a number of our clients, I'm loving it.
A question I've recently been asked is "Why digital marketing? Isn't that a strange choice for a chemist?"
Well, No.
Whilst the beauty of PPC is that it lends itself as a great career for people from a number of different backgrounds, for me PPC is a science. But instead of turning up to a lab on Monday morning, I'm logging into an AdWords account. From there, however, the thought process is much the same…
Here's my take on the science behind PPC.
Step 1: Understanding your Goals
Before beginning any science experiment it's important to have thought about what you are trying to achieve. The same is true with PPC. What is the goal of my campaign?
Am I trying to increase brand awareness, drive conversions or traffic to my website? Which Google network does my campaign best lend itself to? Will a text ad suffice or will a visual display have a greater impact?
More importantly, how will this goal effect what I put into and take from the experiment? In the same way the product of a chemical reaction affects the type of spectra you are going to collect, the goal of your PPC campaign will determine the way you will bid and also how you'll monitor its progress. You will receive a lot of data from AdWords so it's important to think ahead of time about which statistics define your progress towards your goals.
With the goal decided, next comes…
Step 2: Background Research
We used to use a motto in the lab – "A negative result is still a result" (normally as an antidote to a particularly bad day!) – but, as anyone who has worked any length of time in a lab will tell you, getting it wrong costs money. Whilst inevitable at times, it's something you're going to want to minimise in the long run.
The same applies to PPC. Every time someone clicks on your ad you are going to be charged, so you want to ensure that the majority of those clicks are producing positive results for your campaign. How can we ensure this? Well it begins with careful background research.
It helps to consider the what, where and how of your target audience.
What? What is my target audience interested in? What terms are my customers using to describe the product or service in my campaign? What's the search volume and competition for related keywords?
Where? Where are my target audience? Both geographically and online? Are they spending a lot of their time on search engines or browsing blogs and other websites related to certain topics?
How? How are my audience accessing this content online? What devices are they using?
It's likely you won't know the answer to a lot of these questions yet, but stopping to consider the answers you do know can help get your campaign off to a good start.
In the lab you also need to consider the cost and availability of your raw materials. For PPC your raw materials are your keywords. For each keyword we need to consider the relevance (to both your campaign and your audience), popularity and cost, and then weight each factor with the keywords likelihood of delivering a good ROI.
Finally, like combining your raw materials with your catalyst, solvent and conditions, how will I combine my keywords with my bids and ad creatives to create that winning combination?
Step 3: Setting Up the Experiment and Analysing the Results
With your goals decided and your background research completed it's time to set up your experiments and start collecting data.
It's helpful to use a systematic approach to setting up campaigns – grouping your products (landing pages on your website) and keywords into categories or 'ad groups' and then writing individual ads and ad extensions with those keywords in mind. Along with improving overall tidiness, this also gives you a good shot at securing that all important good quality score straight off the bat.
When monitoring your results, pay careful attention to those areas that are related to the goals you've previously decided. As your campaign progresses you'll also be able to piece more information together about your target audience answering the what, where and how questions in more detail.
Step 4: Optimising – Testing Variables
If I can pass on just one thing gleaned from the world of science it would be this: When optimising your experiments be careful not to change too many variables at once.
You're going to want to use the data you've collected from step three to improve your campaigns performance. This is best achieved through a measured temperament and a series of small changes.
There is no point going all out and adding some more keywords, changing match types, altering your bids, placements, ad text, landing pages and targeting options. With this method, you'll be unable to determine the cause of any subsequent change to your performance, good or bad, and as a result any future optimising, will be guess work.
And there you have it. Four steps straight from the lab applied to the world of PPC. Not such a strange place for a chemist after all!

Imagine two lovers who haven't been seeing for ten years and one day, their eyes met across the railway station and they begun running towards each other in slow motion... That's exactly what happened to me and my beloved blog = you guys, my readers out there. I know I haven't been updating much as I was swarmed with Digital Fashion Week. Now that it's finally over, I'M BACK!
And the first thing I want to share with you is my Canon advertorial feature on ELLE Singapore October'12 issue. Here you can find out more about my experiences as a street style photographer, especially my New York Fashion Week stories last year. If you've experienced writers referring to a particular look or collection in a feature but the image is nowhere to be seen on the page, you ain't alone. I had to google the references online many times too. Fret not, I ain't gonna make you do that and also squint your eyes for this. I can't seem to upload it in higher-res so I'll just type it out for your easy reading (and add a little insight and references too):
"I would shoot for three hours straight along Orchard Road, walking back and forth. It was a great workout, I must say."
Learning to stomach rejections is the first rule of street fashion photography. "When shooting in Singapore, especially, you need a lot of patience and endurance," says Viona Wang, who has been capturing the camera-shy local street style scene for over two years.
The 24-year-old blogger, whose subjects have included celebrities and personalities such as Uma Thurman, Taylor Tomasi Hill, Terry Richardson and Scott Schuman, dreams of holding a solo photography exhibition one day.
Photo: Finale of Micheal Kors SS'12, my second NYFW show.
What got you started in street fashion photography?
I started photographing portraits of people on the streets in Bugis and Little India as well as in cities like Beijing and Amman upon purchasing my first DLSR. As my interest in fashion grew, I became more aware of the street fashion scene and fashion photography.
Photo: A group of street style bloggers and photographers gathered for a jump shot after a fashion show and I knew I had to capture the moment. I'm happy that street style has become such a significant part of fashion.
What's the craziest or most inspiring encounter you've had?
Last year, I attended the Diane von Furstenburg show during New York Fashion Week. Even though I was in the standing row and could hardly see anything, I was extremely thrilled to attend my first (NYFW) fashion show. While waiting, I decided to try my luck in photographing the front row guests (unaware that there was restricted access) and managed to snap pictures of designers (below from left) Valentino Garavani and Oscar de la Renta as well as the imitable Anna Wintour ! I almost fainted from the excitement.

What are your top three tips for street fashion photography?
1. Get a good macro lens, such as the Canon EF 100mm F2.8. You want to create enough depth of field so your subject stands out.
2. Make sure your subject feels comfortable while you are photographing them. Speak to them politely and sincerely. Remember - they're the key to whether your photograph turns out awesome or awful!
3. Wear comfortable shoes. Unless chasing after subjects in heels is a breeze for you.
Photo: Street fashion photography sometimes focuses on zoomed-in details and composition. This photo is actually part of my behind-the-scenes coverage at a Straits Times, URBAN editorial spread photo shoot.
What's in your kit?
I've been using my Canon EOS 500D with Canon EF-S 18-200mm F3.5-5.6 IS lens for three years now and it's still working fine. The camera model makes a great starter kit as it's user-friendly and durable.
Photo: Other street fashion photographers specialise in full or half-body portraits like The Sartorialist. I managed to catch model Frida Gustavsson after the Donna Karan SS'12. Lovin' the bold yellow dress!

Hollywood Production Center Joins La Pistola and Prospect House Entertainment in Celebrating the Success of the Production Companies' Recent Feature Films; La Pistola's The Lifeguard and Prospect House's American Songwriter Are Both Available to the General Public and Have Won Heartfelt Praise From Critics and Moviegoers Alike
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - August 26, 2013) - Los Angeles-based Hollywood Production Center is excited to report on the success of two of its current tenants. Within the past few months, La Pistola and Prospect House Entertainment have received tremendous critical praise and audience support for their respective feature films. Both companies look forward to building on their recent success and maintaining their fruitful partnerships with Hollywood Production Center Hollywood office space.
As a longtime tenant of Hollywood Production Center's fully furnished turnkey production offices Glendale location, Prospect House Entertainment has produced a number of films and shorts in its well-appointed space. Its full-length American Songwriter put up a solid commercial performance in the wake of its August 2010 release and attracted attention from industry insiders and critics alike.
The film catalogs the personal struggles and triumphs of legendary country music songwriter Danny Darst. Its honest, heartfelt depiction of the positive effects of Darst's music have resonated with moviegoers and earned much-deserved recognition for the entire Prospect House crew. American Songwriter won the coveted Best Feature Film in U.S. Documentaries award at the Wine Country Film Festival and put up a first-place showing in the Best Music Documentary category at the Park City Film Music Festival.
Meanwhile, La Pistola's newer partnership with Hollywood Production Center has already paid off. The boutique production firm released The Lifeguard to video-on-demand customers on July 30, 2013 and plans a full theatrical release on August 30. Starring Kristen Bell, Martin Starr and Mamie Gummer, The Lifeguard follows a young professional whose childhood nostalgia leads her to make some questionable and potentially life-altering decisions.
After a successful showing at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, the film was picked up for distribution by Screen Media Films and Focus World. Hollywood Production Center and La Pistola look forward to the continued success of the partnership that produced The Lifeguard.
With two locations in beautiful Glendale, California and two in the heart of Hollywood, Hollywood Production Center has cemented its reputation as the premier provider of on-demand production and consulting office space for clients in the entertainment industry.

Keepmoat Homes has awarded M Lambe Construction with a £12.9m contract to lay the foundations for 372 homes at a regeneration scheme in Coventry.
Keepmoat is part of the Spirit Quarters regeneration consortium to develop four estates and build 1,400 new homes. Other consortium members include Whitefriars Housing, Coventry City Council and Bovis.
So far, around 550 homes have been built. The latest phase of the development, which was given planning permission by the council earlier this year, will see the construction of 356 houses and two apartment blocks.
Sixty-eight homes, or 19%, will be for affordable rent and will be owned and managed by Whitefriars Housing.
The development is supported by a £2.03m grant from the Homes and Communities Agency's affordable housing programme.
M Lambe will lay the foundations for the homes and apartment blocks. It will also construct roads and sewers.
The company also won a £5.07m contract to lay foundations for 130 plots at Keepmoat's The Willows scheme in Dudley.
Michael Lambe, director of M Lambe Construction, said: "The Willows and Spirit Quarters wins demonstrate the trust our clients place in us to deliver high quality highway, infrastructure and groundworks to multi-million pound regeneration developments throughout the Midlands."

I was housesitting at my parents place a couple of weeks ago and it was great as they have foxtel. Every time over there I put on the food channel as soon as I get there and sit at the table and read through cookbooks. I am not obsessed with food at all...
Well on the Wednesday (or Tuesday) of that week Donna Hay's show was premiering which was even more exciting. I love Donna Hay's recipes. The few that I have tried have all been really simple and flavoursome, which is the best for mid week dinners. On the show she made a dish called chicken with haloumi and honey. Her advocation for the dish made me go on the web and look for this recipe. Luckily it was on the lifestyle food website.
It was a very simple dish to prepare and very tasty as well, the only thing I would change would be cutting the chicken breasts in half so they cook quicker. Also you have to eat the haloumi quickly otherwise it goes rubbery.
I just served it with a simple salad and some garlic bread.
Chicken ready to go into the oven
Fresh out of the oven!
Chicken with Haloumi and Honey - Recipe from Donna Hay
- 2 x 200g chicken breast fillets, trimmed
- 150g haloumi, cut into 4 slices
- 1 tablespoon shredded lemon zest
- 6 sprigs lemon thyme
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Place the chicken, haloumi, zest and lemon thyme in a ceramic baking dish.
- Combine the oil and honey and pour over.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Industrial software developer QMASTOR (ASX:QML) has rejected allegations by Triple Point Technology (TPT) that the former failed to engage with the latter over a takeover bid for the company.
In a statement, QMASTOR also made its own allegations about TPT's conduct during the pre-bid process, including that TPT submitted what it knew would be considered an inadequate bid.
QMASTOR said that before discussions commenced over a takeover proposal, its board made it clear that it would not entertain proposals valuing the company at less than $30 million.
TPT indicated that it would be willing to make such an offer if due diligence confirms QMASTOR's upper-range projections.
But in May, TPT provided an indicative offer that effectively valued QMASTOR at only around $21.7 million.
QMASTOR said TPT provided no indication as to why the proposed price was reduced, and that TPT demanded a response to the proposal within 10 business days.
A request for a two week extension for QMASTOR to determine why the offer had been cut was countered with an offer for one extra day to decide, board alleges - not the one week TPT has been claiming.
TPT is then alleged to have responded to QMASTOR's request to resume negotiations after the indicative offer had lapsed by making an on-market $0.23 per share takeover offer – which values QMASTOR at only $19.3 million.
The dispute between the companies could prove academic, as QMASTOR on Tuesday revealed that investors owning more than 10% of its share capital have already rejected the approach. TPT's offer is contingent on gaining at least 90% acceptances.
QML shares grew 8% in Wednesday's trading to $0.270.

So yesterday…wasn't my best day in this eating clean journey. I started out pretty strong…with a banana, handful of almonds, and a scoop of peanut butter. Had greek yogurt for my mid morning snack and lunch was tilapia from Sunday night with grapes. And that's where the good news ends.
I went to the doctor yesterday morning because I've been having back problems for a while now. I have a pulled muscle in my back between the ribs and not allowed to do upper body weights or workouts for 3-4 weeks. Anything that makes it hurt…stop doing. Well that's going to be difficult, because everything makes it hurt! It's in the worst spot possible, mid back (thoracic) right where you would turn or breathe, or do anything besides sleep. Which – that is uncomfortable too. So, now I'm icing it and sleeping on my right side…which I don't like! I'm a left side sleep…just am. haha.
Anyway, so that put me in a piss poor mood. I dealt with it via a little self-destuctive behavior. In the form of very unclean foods, a jalapeno cheddar hotdog and spicy nacho dorito chips, on my way to class last night. I'm so ashamed! Although..it did make me feel better. And that's not all of it…I ate a snickers (yes, a snickers!) during my last class. Ugh. Considering the fact that I can't really workout to my fullest ability right now, don't you think I wouldn't eat bad foods?! I guess we all get a little crazy in the moment.
Well, that little episode and the thought of having to post it, for all who read to see, has made me determined to nix the behavior before letting it swallow me. I'm going to focus on my running (that's lower body!) and my leg workouts. I'll be a little unbalanced…maybe, but at least I won't be sitting around eating bon bons or snickers! 🙂 One good thing I did yesterday was sign-up for Dam-to-Dam! It's a 20K on June 1, 2013….scary!! The longest race I've done was a 7K about a year ago..and it was hell! I usually stick to 5K distances. So, I joined a new running group out of Ankeny to help me stay consistent with training and I look forward to meeting on Saturdays for runs and doing fun runs with them this summer!!
Tonight I'll be running 3.5 miles after work and focusing on being smart about food choices!
Focus, Kristin. Focus.
Have a healthy day and stay strong!
Here's a little motivation to me and you going. 🙂

My fiancee Jenny are deeply in love with each other. We have always looked out for each other. Jenny and I have been through so much in our relationship. We have overcome many challenges and adversity in our relationship, but we survived. One challenge that we faced was distance. After college, Jenny received a very good job offer in North Carolina. I did not want her to leave, but I knew it was a good opportunity for her career. We both decided to move together. We searched for apartments for rent in South Charlotte NC. This was a big step for the both of us.
Jenny and I were already engaged before we graduated from college. We knew back then that we were destined to be together. I decided not to let anything interfere with us, including distance from each other. My decision to move to North Carolina was very shocking to my parents. My mom liked Jenny, but did not want me to leave. My family does not live that far from North Carolina, but it was still away from home. My father accepted my decision. My mother finally came around and supported me. I was very glad that they gave me their support and love.
We found the perfect place in North Carolina. It was very spacious and affordable. Before we left for our journey, our family and friends gave us a giant going-away party. It was a bittersweet moment. I was sad that I was leaving my family behind, but I was happy to start a new life with the love of my life. I hope my parents will not miss me too much. I promised my parents that they could come and visit us anytime they want. I had enough room for them to stay at our spacious apartment. I would love to have them visit us.

Funding for the first phase of an initiative to connect African research centres and link them to an existing European network has been approved by the European Commission.The approval follows a report that identified sufficient IT infrastructure in Africa to support the AfricaConnect Initiative, which aims to improve research collaborations and access to information.The report, released last month (March 22), is based on a one-year Feasibility Study for African-European Research and Education Network Interconnection (FEAST), funded by the European Commission and carried out by the Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. Most national research and education networks (NRENs) in Africa are now near, or will soon be near, one of several recently-landed undersea fibre optic cables, the report said. This may enable them to join GÉANT, an existing pan-European research and education network.Arthur Goldstuck, managing director of World Wide Worx, a technology research company in South Africa, said that the new undersea cables bring unprecedented opportunity as well as challenges to the continent's research community.

Our Ridgeback looks wonderful on Wolf Tucker Posted by Jez on 13th Jun 2012
We've been using Wolf Tucker since we got our Ridgeback puppy and I can honestly say their product is just what she needs. Her coat is shiny, her muscles are strong and she's growing well so there must be some good in there!
Highly recommended

Sports enthusiasts these days are so occupied with the local NFL expansion effort and the Orioles' quest for free agents that it's easy to overlook Baltimore's Pat Koger Thompson, who is doing big things in her own sport.
Thompson's game is tennis. She doesn't play it competitively any longer. She doesn't coach it.
She describes herself as a tennis activist/educator. What she does -- organize it and bring minorities into the sport -- will have a greater impact than the efforts of most who do swing a racket.
Thompson is executive director and founder of Play Tennis Baltimore Inc. and co-founder of Baltimore's National Junior Tennis League. She promotes tennis programs that serve more than 1,000 Baltimore area youngsters yearly, a total she calls "a drop in the bucket."

Yes, you can, and the Building Committee wants your help.
Since the Building Committee began meeting weekly (Wednesdays, , check the Library's website (www.gp.lib.mi.us) for the location), a number of Grosse Pointe residents have been attending the meetings regularly. While they are technically not members of the Building Committee, because the meetings are rather informal, they often ask questions and offer comments during the Committee discussions. Most of the time there are sufficient copies of the documents that the Building Committee members receive during the meeting that the audience is able to have their own copies, so they get the same information as the Committee members.
The Building Committee faces a number of difficult and emotional issues regarding the Central Branch, such as whether the existing Marcel Breuer-designed building can be updated so as to avoid demolition, and how parking requirements are going to be met. The Committee wants to make the best possible recommendations to the Library Board and, in order to do that, it needs to hear from the public to ensure that different views, opinions, and ideas are all considered.
Those members of the public attending the meetings have not been shy with their opinions, and this is just the way the Building Committee wants it. These people regularly contribute to the meetings with their comments, opinions, and even their criticisms. As the Committee discusses how additional space can be used and allocated in an expanded-Central Branch, people voice their thoughts of what works, what doesn't work, what they like and don't like, about the other new branches in the Park and the Woods. This input is invaluable for designing the Central Branch, especially as the nature of libraries and how they are utilized continues to rapidly change.
So, attend a meeting or two and let the Building Committee know what you think.

Shading Diecuts with Sharpies
Hello! I have a Cricut layout to share with you today. I also wanted to share a technique I use on occasion. This technique uses markers to highlight and shade diecuts to give them more intensity, and makes them pop on your page – shading diecuts with Sharpies.
As you can see, the shading on the lettering, dog highlights, and cupcake really add texture to the layout. You can do this easily. And it's very dynamic looking, especially for those who really want thinner layouts (after all, they should fit into an album at some point, right?)
What I did was to pick colors that closely match my cardstock. I do a check, after my cutting is done, on a little scrap of the paper and see if it's a good match.
I use Sharpies and Bics, no special love for either one, but I do suggest the biggest pack of mixed colors you can find. I find them for 36 for about $15 give or take.
Once I have found my color. I use a piece of scrap paper under my diecut, then go just along the outside edge of the cut. Sometimes if the color is very subtle, I will do a second layer. Be sure to be consistent, because if you switch from one to two layers, you can see the difference. On the title I did a side shading, just shading on the left/top side of the Birthday cut, on the Wishes, I used a right/bottom side shading. Mix it up, it's your layout and it looks great! For the dog, I shaded his hat and collar, then added a little to the top of the hat and nose.
For the cupcake, I only shaded the cherry and leaves, adding my shading in a circular motion to make it as if there is a gleam on the cherry. I highlighted the leaves to make them look rounded, adding the darker color in a middle vein and along the outside edges.
For this page, I used Birthday Bash and Creative Cards cartridges. Papers are a mix of cardstock and My Mind's Eye papers.
I hope you will give this technique a try!

April showers bring snow plowers. We have a new season—sprinter—which combines winter in spring.
Mother Nature and Old Man Winter have banded together to argue the quote that "No winter lasts forever, no spring skips its turn." I've been getting a lot of things like this after the predicted snows came. I still marvel at how one place can get a couple of inches of the white stuff, then another place just down the road got hit with more ice, and still farther a few places got 12 inches of snow again. Yup, sprinter in Wisconsin. Thanks to all the snow plowers for keeping the roads clear.
It's funny about spring snowstorms. You all know how verbal I am about not being a fan of snow, but the morning after we got dumped on, I looked out the window and saw clumps of snow on our pine trees against a sky so blue it almost took my breath away.

Thermal degradation of the organic gain medium impedes long-term laser operation (http://www.htpow.com/high-powered-30000mw-blue-laserpointer-445nm-worlds-brightest-p-1027.html) .The team reported low-threshold surface-emitting organic distributed feedback lasers operating.

ECU dean elected American Board of Family Medicine board chair
A dean of the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University has been elected chair of the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) Board of Directors.
Dr. Elizabeth Baxley, senior associate dean for academic affairs and professor of family medicine at the Brody School of Medicine, will lead the second-largest medical specialty board in the country for a one-year term.
The ABFM works to improve the health of the public by certifying family physicians; setting training standards; funding, conducting and publishing research; and collaborating with other specialty boards and organizations.
As chair, Baxley said she plans to emphasize the ABFM's ongoing improvements in the process of continuous certification and work to optimize communication about these processes with family physicians and the public.
"Our challenge is to continue to evolve and innovate in a way that assures the public of the quality and competence that accompanies board certification, while at the same time reducing burden on front-line family physicians," she said. "I love this work. It reminds me that at every level, medical education has a public trust to uphold. We need to take that commitment to our students, our residents and the patients they will serve very seriously."
As senior associate dean for academic affairs at Brody, Baxley has oversight of critical areas of the school of medicine, including admissions, student affairs and academic support, medical student curriculum and evaluation, simulation programs, development of faculty, and diversity and inclusion efforts. Shortly after joining ECU in 2012, Baxley led efforts that resulted in a $1 million American Medical Association grant for the school to help accelerate change in medical education by incorporating training in patient safety, quality improvement, interprofessional care and population health into the medical student curriculum.
Prior to joining ECU, Baxley spent 18 years as a faculty member at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, where she served as chair of the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine. Additionally, she was a faculty member at AnMed Family Residency for five years after her training and subsequently was an associate professor of family medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine. She received her Doctor of Medicine from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, completed a family medicine residency at AnMed Family Medicine in Anderson, South Carolina, and a faculty development fellowship at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. Baxley earned her bachelor's at Clemson University.

Fartlek and hills. Made the mistake of grabbing soul food before the run which was done in the afternoon and not my usual morning. Also had a minor headache but glad I got the run in. Was planning on 4 miles but ended up on the 2. Tomorrow's another day.
Beautiful morning in Los Angeles today. Weather was nice and cool enough and I managed to get out there early enough with my husband who did 6 miles.
Good run today, it was rainy in the morning but quickly cleared. Had breakfast early enough and got time to call family and let the food settle before heading out for the run. My left leg started to hurt a little during the final lap but it subsided.
Good run today. Weather was beautiful and it was in the 60s! Finished strong.

Imagine being attacked while you are walking to work and minding your own business. This sounds like something from a movie, but unfortunately this happened to Samantha Barlow when she was on her way to work at the police department as an active police officer. Barlow was attacked randomly and was left for dead in the local park by her attackers, who had beaten her with a brick. This attack could never be understood by Barlow or her family members as she had no grudges or enemies.
Barlow suffered severe physical trauma as well as head trauma injuries. Her husband and children had to watch their mother fight for her life and try to fight through the therapy and counselling. This traumatic experienced lasted 22 months, where Barlow needed to learn to do many things all over again and start her life from scratch living with that death-defying experience in the back of her mind constantly.
Barlow went back to work and pushed herself to become the police officer that she was before the brutal attack. She decided that she did not want to lose everything because of some random attack, she wanted to prove to herself and the world that she could still be the officer that she was and had always been. Samantha pushed herself and made sure that she was not going to be a victim but rather a police officer like any other police officer.
Barlow had always wanted to be a police officer and believed that becoming a police officer was the best thing in the world. Not only were you giving back to your community but you are also making sure that the community is a better place for your children and family. Samantha did not know any other career besides the police force, and could not see herself working anywhere else. This proves that the police force is not a terrible career and that the policemen and women feel that they are all a family and have lots to offer each other.
The police force might be a difficult and tiring career but in the end you are part of the family and you know that you will be taken care of till the end. Samantha Barlow suffered severe post stress disorder but she was paid off as she was medically boarded, and she was still considered a member of the police academy. Samantha is welcome regularly at the police department and is considered a hero to many of the community members as well as the public.
The main point of this book review is not to show that Samantha Barlow was medically boarded, but to show that she pushed herself to go back to her police force and work for that amount of time because she loved her career so much that she could not stay away from it. She had another family with the police force and felt that she could not stay at home and abandon a career that she had decided on when she was six years old.

From the time I was about two and a half, I have thought there was something really wrong with the so-called grown-ups in my little corner of the world. I use the world "thought" loosely, of course. What does a two-year-old know about analysis and synthesis? About inductive and deductive reasoning? About ad hominem arguments? My own little mind didn't know very much, and couldn't have put into words what it did know. But it KNEW for certain that certain kinds of meanness were "over the line" and that certain people were not worthy of her trust, and never would be.
I'm seventy-one now. I've worked my mind, left and right, as hard and as long as I can, and I will keep at it until I can't keep at it any longer, but I am still in the dark about very huge things–not to mention a lot of little things that add up to sums I still can't total.
I don't understand meanness, violence, nastiness, sneakiness, sneering, bullying, condescension, blatant lying. I don't understand pretension–pretending to know and be what one knows one doesn't and isn't.
Where does any of that, all of that, come from? I assume such things come from somewhere. I think I assume they start out small and get bigger, but maybe they don't.
I wish there were a place to go where we could ask the universe a question: "Dear Universe–Why are so many so-called grown-ups so mean and nasty, so intentionally hurtful?" I don't know the universal zip code. I wish I did.
When I was younger, I used to spend many hours driving on back roads. I found them so peaceful, such good places to let go of the pain I encountered in the human world. I would speak to the cows about these things. Cows always seemed so docile, so patient, so unruffled. "Hey, cows," I'd say, rolling down the window. "Do you have a minute? You seem like the kind of creature that would understand. Did you ever have anyone yell and sneer at you, and intentionally hurt you? Did you ever encounter a bully, or a whole room full of them? What did you think of them? What did you say, or do?"
It helped a lot to talk to cows. They just went on eating, and swishing their tails. I kind of figured they were above that sort of thing. I remembered Frost's poem about cleaning the pasture spring. He'd just wait long enough to watch the water clear, he said–and to check on the newborn calf that tottered when its mother licked it with her tongue.
Frost gave me such a nice view of cows in that poem. It was kind of like he was saying that mothers, soon after giving birth, teach their offspring kindness not by precept, but by example. They touch them with kindness and gentleness. I had a cat that did that–a male cat, too. I came home with a tiny kitten, and set the kitten on the kitchen floor, next to my full-grown male cat. "This little kitten needs you," I said to the cat. I pet each one, one with my left hand, the other with my right. "Nice kitten," I said. "Nice kitten." Each of them thought I was speaking about it. As I knelt there, the male cat, to my amazement, picked the kitten up in its mouth and carried it to the food dishes, then sat next to it and waited. After the kitten ate, the male cat again carried it, this time to the litter box, and dropped it in. And, finally, he carried it into the bedroom and jumped up on the bed, dropping the tiny kitten between the two pillows on the bed, so that only its ears were visible. It was wonderful to see how patiently and gently he did these things, and how easily the kitten became accustomed to the routine.
There must be a lot of human beings who lack such skills, such instincts–both mothers and fathers. And, I guess, there must be a lot who were taught the opposite of kindness. Remember the song, "You've Got To Be Carefully Taught," from "South Pacific": "You've got to be taught to hate and fear. It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear, before you are six or seven or eight, to hate all the people your relatives hate. . . ."
It's a pity there's nowhere we can go to read and think about the meanness in the world. There should be times and places before there are crises, where people of all ages and circumstances can go to reflect–alone, or together. There should be calmness centers, for introspection, quiet music, flowing water. These things should be part of our everyday lives–places to balance the constant motion, and noise, the constant chaos, the pushing, the shoving, the fighting to get ahead, something to counteract the mindless crowd's urge to be first. There should be cooperation to balance all the competition, calm to balance stress. It says something about our society as a whole, that we do not have such places, and do not think of them, until after centuries of premeditated hurtfulness, but maybe it is not too late to consider such things, to build a truly humane society where bullying is simply not practiced, and not imagined, and not necessary, because human beings have finally learned to value empathic listening and cooperation.
Some might say such a vision is "soft," but perhaps those are the ones who would need it the most. The kind of softness I have in mind requires fortitude, strength, patience, and insight–and perhaps a lifetime of practice.
I know that there are people that some refer to as religious who believe that an old book spoke the truth when it said "Spare the rod and spoil the child." I think one of the requirements of adulthood is to examine the teachings of the past, and to decide if they are or are not wise. Just because a practice is advocated by someone does not mean that it is wise. We should think such matters out for ourselves, and compare our experiences. I was always proud of A.S. Neill for disputing that teaching. When he started Summerhill, in England, he went on record against that teaching, and accepted students at his school who had already been harmed by such treatment. He described very well how difficult it was to unlearn such violence. Neill decided to do the opposite: Hug kids, listen to them, talk with them one to one, give them room to play, to make art, music, dance, places to rest, places to explore. He decided to ask them how they were feeling, to give them a fair share of responsibility, to give them chances to lead and not just follow, to teach them cooperation, and not just competition. It was very clear to me that he was able to remember his own childhood, and to reflect on what caused him too much pain. I have always been grateful for his courage, and his wisdom, and wish all the bullies I have encountered in my life could have known him , or at least could have read his book and thought about the alternatives he provided. How wonderful it is to know that there are such kind and such imaginative people in the world.
It seems to me now that there should be a place where adult bullies and other nasty people can melt down without harming anyone–including themselves–but what sort of place would that be? It seems to me that when adult bullies were children, there must have been adults who indulged them–or who did the opposite and bullied them. Once that has happened, it seems that it is so easy for ugliness to spiral out of control. Other adults indulge adult bullies. It seems to me that none of them has the capacity to look inward, to "center themselves," to listen to their feelings, to appreciate their own complexity. Truly, I don't know if adults can learn such humane habits. Perhaps, for some, it is too late. And maybe their egos are just too inflated to allow thought, or empathy, to enter. It seems, then, that the only people who are capable of insight might be those who have been hurt by them, those whose hearts ache, those who suffer the beatings and the bruises, those who already have tenderness and gentleness in their character, those who have never sneered at anyone and who know they never will. Those are the people who understand that compassion is a struggle, and that wounds that take advantage of one's good nature sometimes take a long time to heal.
My heart goes out to all children, both the victims and the bullies. I know that violent and unthinking parents often do harm that lasts a lifetime. I know there are no easy solutions. Dorothy Corkille-Briggs offers some helpful suggestions to parents who want to consider non-bullying alternatives, and many authors who write about child-raising and about self-esteem also deal with these issues. All of them understand that wounds go deep, that there is a great deal of meanness in the world, and that far too few adults understand it and know how to heal from it, or to help others heal.
It is so much easier when children are small. Just the simple presence of a caring and thoughtful and aware adult can do so much. At the very least, such an adult can speak words and use tones of voice that demonstrate insight and compassion, and can provide outlets for creative expression that prevent feelings from "piling up" too much and too long. How helpful it would be if all children who are "six or seven or eight" could spend time in the company of such adults.

There are only 10 seats left for the two courses I'm teaching at NYSSA (New York Society of Security Analysts – The CFA Chapter in Manhattan). These courses are NOT for beginners, however newer prop traders and day traders will garner great trading insight.
Using Commodities in a Diversified Portfolio discusses the impact that managed futures will have on a traditional portfolio when added to a client's asset allocation. What happens to the Investment Frontier and what vehicles you can implement to meet your clients' needs. I talk about almost all sectors traded at CME Group — grains, energies, financials, currencies, and stock index futures — within the context of a managed futures portfolio. This is the morning class and is considered an Intermediate level course at NYSSA.
In the afternoon class, Timing the Market with Commodity Trend Following Models, I'll be covering marketing timing models using the S&P in one of the classes using data from public sources. I'll show you how to build you own simple model by hand. The information you'll learn can be applied to any other market and it will give you a deeper understanding (intellectually speaking) of what's going on inside a mathematical trading model. This is considered an Advanced Course at NYSSA.
You can save $50 if you register for both. Registration is handled by the NYSSA – I don't have anything to do with that. A wide array of talented folks from a diverse industry backgrounds have attended in the past and it's a good place to network, as well as ask me questions in person. As a perpetual student myself, I've put these courses together so that the students feel that there is tremendous value for their tuition.
email me at editor [at] martinkronicle [dot] com if you have any questions. Registration questions should be directed to the NYSSA.

Murals of Note
Several of Columbia's government buildings house significant murals depicting the history of the city and Boone County.
Boone County Courthouse
Address: 801 E. Walnut Street
This mural, painted in 1994 by local artist Sidney Larson, depicts the evolution of the justice system in Boone County. It contains vignettes of well-known citizens James Sidney Rollins, George Caleb Bingham, and freed slave John B. Lange, a successful entrepreneur. It also illustrates the stand by citizens called "Tigers" against guerilla forces during the Civil War. A second floor mural, also by Larson, shows citizens gathering for church services and community activities in the new courthouse.
Howard Building Municipal Court Room
Address: 600 E. Broadway
The 12 panels featured in the courtroom were painted from 1934 to 1938 by University of Missouri art professor Dr. Kenneth Hudson. Each panel represents an event of interest in the development of Columbia as a city. Subjects depicted include early settlers, wagon trains, Columbia's colleges and the University of Missouri, Missouri River commerce, the railroad from Centralia to Columbia, pit coal mining, and farming. Panels include period representations such as a Ford Model T and a 1930s street scene of downtown Columbia.
The Guitar Building
Address: 28 N. Eighth Street
Local artist Sidney Larson created these paintings in 1989. The panels depict a social history of Columbia and Boone County from the mid-1830s to the early 1900s. Among the notables included in the murals are: renowned artist George Caleb Bingham; James Sidney Rollins, "father" of the University of Missouri; John H. Lathrop, first president of MU; Civil War General Odon Guitar; and postmistress Ann Hawkins Gentry. One panel shows packed trains loaded with furs on their way to St. Louis, illustrating the importance of Columbia's location on the Boone's Lick Trail, which made the town a major link to the Santa Fe and Oregon Trails in the 19th century.

All brilliant! Tracey and Ben were among the first of Morrissey and Marr's biggest fans and promoters. The Moxham brothers of Young Marble Giants fame were also to be found filling out the sound of those first few releases.
I am a bit of a EBTG Trainspotter/Completist...this has cost me some money over the years, but all well spent.
Ah, Echorich, I know that illness well. And how about Marr's sunglasses in the 'Native' video? Wow! Still, cool to see him. It's amazing how many times he pops up on records I love.

The Notice provision tells parties how they can deliver effective notice to the other parties under the agreement[1]
Many of us pay little attention to this boilerplate provision. Perhaps this is because courts have taken a practical approach to notice provisions. If a notice provision is drafted permissively, notice, even if not given as outlined in the agreement, will be valid, as long as it is received by the other party, and the delivery method was not less advantageous to the receiving party than the method outlined[2]
Regardless, we recommend you take the time to consider the following:
1 Cynthia L. Elderkin & Julia S. Shin Doi, Behind and Beyond Boilerplate: Drafting Commercial Agreements, 3d ed (Toronto: Thomson Carswell, 2011).
2 See Ross v. The T Eaton Co Ltd, which is the leading case on mandatory versus permissive notices.
3 In his blog posting, Providing Notice by Email, Ken Adams discusses the issues around providing notice by email.
