Lomi Lomi massage is known as Hawaiian massage. In the Hawaiian language, the word used traditionally means to knead, to rub, squeeze, press or soothe; to work in and out. Lomi Lomi is an ancient healing tradition native to the Hawaiian Islands.
Originally, it was practiced by healers called "Huanas" and today is practiced by many people from Non-Hawaiian and Hawaiian backgrounds. This massage has also been called the "loving hands massage" because in Huana philosophy everything in the universe seeks love and harmony. Known to Hawaiians as a very important part of bringing a person in balance Lomi Lomi along with the use of La'au (plants), Pule (prayer) and Ho'oponopono (the need to make peace in all relationships before healing can occur). Traditionally this wisdom and knowledge was passed down from family to family and not shared with outsiders. Kahunas (keepers of the secret) and Kupunas (source or grandparents) have now come forth with this art and wisdom sharing their secrets as a way to increase Universal harmony and peace.
Lomi Lomi demonstrates principles of navigation that were used in guiding the Kahuna, not only at sea, but on land as well as on the human landscape. A person's body appears like the mountain ridges and valleys. The practitioner moves in a hula-like way sometimes moving like a bird in flight, or wind and water across the land softening the mountain ridges of the body landscape. Rhythm, speed and depth also come into play and this can cause cells to ignite at a deeper level. This is where transformation begins. Lomi Lomi does not just work on the physical body, as Hawaiians believe that old ideas and experiences are stored in the cells of the body and can block the flow of energy. The long rhythmic strokes can move this energy around and release it. If both practitioner and client are aligned in the present moment in a very sacred way, attuned to their breath, it becomes a moving meditation that benefits both people.
The massage technique is done with long flowing strokes upon the muscles of the body. The massage is done with loving hands, forearms and elbows. The benefits of Lomi Lomi massage are innumerable:
• Generally, Lomi Lomi is used to promote internal harmony, center and ground one's energy. Stimulating a greater connection with all parts of a person.
• Spiritual Healing– When a client is brought to the practitioner's table they are given time to open up their mind into a healing state.
• Increased blood circulation– Massage to certain areas of the body promotes blood circulation.
• Relaxation– The loving strokes of this massage promote deep relaxation. The practitioners tune with the client's needs and use this information to properly relax the body.
• Relief in tension spots– Tense muscles are caused by many reasons, among them, stress and muscle injuries. The Lomi Lomi massage technique of using loving hands with deep, gentle strokes helps relieve the muscles of unwarranted tension.
• Pain Relief– Because you are releasing the stress and tension of the body through massage any pains you feel in the body may be diminished.
• Use of Massage oil- Traditionally the massage oil used in this massage is indigenous oils made from coconut. The oil is worked into the skin in a rhythmic method. Repeated rhythm also promotes deeper relaxation.
ϖ The meaning of Aloha
Aloha in the Hawaiian language means affection, peace, compassion and mercy. Since the middle of the 19th century, it also has come to be used as an English greeting to say goodbye and hello. Aloha is being a part of all, and all being a part of me. When there is pain – it is my pain. When there is joy – it is also mine. I respect all that is as part of the Creator and part of me. I will not wilfully harm anyone or anything. When food is needed I will take only my need and explain why it is being taken. The earth, the sky, the sea are mine to care for, to cherish and to protect. This is Hawaiian – this is Aloha!
A- ala, watchful, alertness
L- lokahi, working with unity
O- oia'i'o, truthful honesty
H- ha'aha'a, humility
A- ahonui, patient perseverance
Enjoy this ancient art form and massage practice that can accelerate change and create expansion on all levels. This can help you to gain greater clarity and connection with who you are. As soon you begin to see everything in life as a part of you, you will understand that everything can be embraced and loved.

The Alien Judwan Enter the World of DreadBall
September 13, 2012 by brennon
Featuring in Season 2 of DreadBall, the Judwan are an interesting new alien race from the background of Warpath by Mantic Games. You can check out the concept art from their Kickstarter below...
These aliens form a rather unique team in DreadBall in that they are all Strikers and don't need the specially made gloves to catch the ball itself. Of course while their appearance in DreadBall is fantastic news, there is also the possibility that they will get a full army in the world of Warpath later on down the line.
Also there is a Competition running on Board Game Geek to win a Striker level pledge!
What do you think of the Judwan?

Mondo Hack and the bank of tomorrow
I spent this past weekend hacking around with my own bank account, how often can you say that?
In essence, this is what Mondo is all about — they have taken on the still really ridiculous challenge of becoming a fully regulated 'intelligent' bank and providing developers with a robust, feature-packed platform to build applications on top of. It's like an AppStore for your money, and the potential is truly mind boggling.
Attendees of the hackathon were given a vibrant, hot pink Mondo debit card as well as production access to their alpha API. This meant not only could we build cool apps but also go out and test them in the real world with real transactions. It's quite the thing, and left me sincerely questioning why our current banking experience is so archaic — especially when it forms such an important part of our every day lives.
Mondo aren't alone in their efforts to punch banking in the teeth with awesome tech disruption (Atom, Teller) but their focus on open-collaboration is a key differentiator. They genuinely care about this stuff in a way we could only wish existing banks did; the love shows in every inch of their platform. They're a surprisingly small team of staggeringly bright people, and it was great to meet some of them and hear stories of the challenges they face for things that on surface feel like they should be a doddle in this day and age. But that is banking, and that is why the world needs Mondo.
So let's build a thing
… in 48 hours D:
The trouble with true innovation such as this is that every idea can spawn 15 others, and I really suffered with that going into Mondohack. With it being my first time attending (the team is hoping to make the hacks a regular occurrence and are proactive in building a strong community) I wanted to create something positive and inoffensive as well as leverage the awesome power of what a banking API could do.
Inspiration struck with an idea I dubbed Penny Change; a way of generating 'as you spend' micro-donations towards causes that matter to you. The concept is very simple, for every purchase you make Penny Change rounds up the balance up to the nearest pound — if you spend £1.99, Penny Change collects 1p.
It's truly amazing how quickly these pennies can add up. Just think, if the 43 million card users in the UK gave just 1p a day in this way, over £150 million would be raised for UK charities every year. Wowza.
There have been several noteworthy attempts at the Penny Change concept floating around for a while. Some banks offer it as an opt-in service, and http://www.pennies.org.uk has been pushing the idea here in the UK with impressive results. The real struggle is in the legwork; you need to get the merchants onboard as well as the Chip & Pin hardware vendors — but what if the choice was solely in the hands of the consumer? With Penny Change, it could be as simple as downloading an app.
Remember, whilst your individual penny contributions might not be huge, the cumulative crowd total and the addition of 25% Gift Aid courtesy of the UK government can quickly equate to real difference.
Plus it's kinda fun.
The team, and how we built it.
I formed a team with my existing colleague Marco (tech genius) and Richard (marketer extraordinaire.)
After quickly throwing down a Trello board of features and stretch goals, we set to work. The goal was to create a fully functional iOS app that could authenticate users, create a web hook with Mondo and start raking in the pennies.
Marco set about building a simple flask based Python application that could handle user sessions and API interactions. This left me to design and build a rough and ready HTML5 app using Ratchet, Backbone and my tool of choice, Sketch. I also added a neat little penny jar using Matter.js — endless fun.
Whats next?
I'm hopeful that one day the Penny Change vision will become a reality; it's a really approachable way for us all to be more socially responsible and could obviously scale way beyond what we prototyped this weekend. When Mondo launches to the masses perhaps the project will see a revival.
In the meantime, I've been thinking a lot about better banking and how all this awesome power shouldn't stop with just consumers — if my time at Growth Street has taught me anything it's that SMEs get a real raw deal from their banks. I can see huge potential for modern banking in the hands of small business owners.
Mondo already has a pretty sophisticated tagging system, but I'd love to see some two-way integrations with platforms such as Xero and FreeAgent, or real-time tools for better cashflow management, forecasting and borrowing options.
What's amazing is that the Mondo platform could already support pretty much all of the above, so there is nothing else for it but to go and build more stuff.
Explored the Penny Change concept further at Global Startup Battle with a team of cool people. Here are some animated GIFs that show off the hard work…

Case study is the thing each student encounter with at the certain time. This is universal as it can touch each field of work or study. Though it is not a very easy thing to do it is worth doing. It can be useful in your future profession, whatever the way you choose, just if you know the structure, just if you understand how such job can be made.
Case study is serious research. All serious things are demanding and hard to do, especially for the students, who have no idea how to or specific knowledges. For sure, they will be curated by their professors, but the main part of project is totally on them. This work, if done with all concentration and hard-working, can become timeless and known by masses who will ever be interested is the definite subject. Such works have a chance to strongly influent the reader.
Ask yourself if you are ready to create something that valuable, what also means to get the high grade.
No matter how deep your interest to the subject will be if you do it the firs time. You will need the guide to come through this difficult process with you. And this is what case study services are about. The team of experienced paper writers will take all of your doubts away and make it for you, with you or without. It depends on you only if you want to take part in it. Wanting to become real professional in concrete sphere – you'll be thankful for this experience. Online writers who clearly understand and see the order of actions and even words/facts in future work will surely be useful while your tryings. It is a big risk to miss some things, feeling the deadline's weight on your back. You may waste your time for nothing, because it's hard to judge own work objectively before it's given to professors. But you always have the better way to go. This way can be easier if you let it go without your participation. Or it can be a long way of learning and analyzing under the supervision of those who care. In conclusion all of you benefit, all of you are rich in the two different ways!

MIAMI - Abraham Nunez singled home the tie-breaking run in the 10th inning, and the Philadelphia Phillies rebounded after blowing a four-run lead in the ninth to beat the Florida Marlins 8-7 on Wednesday night.
Florida tied the game with a bizarre rally that included two ejections, two defensive gaffes by the Phillies and an injury to their closer, Brett Myers, who left with a strained right shoulder.
Jimmy Rollins led off the 10th with a single, advanced on Aaron Rowand's single and took third when center fielder Alfredo Amezaga misplayed the ball for Florida's third error.
Nunez's single off Kevin Gregg (0-2) scored the unearned run. He finished 2-for-3 with three walks and three runs scored.
Hanley Ramirez scored the tying run in the ninth when he slid under catcher Rob Barajas, who stood waiting with the ball but failed to crouch low enough to make the tag for the game's final out. Barajas and Phils manager Charlie Manuel were ejected, but TV replays showed the call was correct.

Roses are considered to be challenging by many gardeners, but here in Utah I have found their care to be quite easy. The rewards during bloom season far exceed the effort needed in order to have a lovely rose garden. A near perfect bloom brings me great pleasure.

We read for information, with the hope that information we acquire will improve our minds, giving us the means to improve our lives. In the modern Age of Information, more reading material is available than ever, making it increasingly difficult to allocate our reading time efficiently.All books are not created equal, and it follows that all readers are not equal either. To read prodigiously and to read profitably are two very different things. A great amount of time is wasted reading books that are forgotten a short time after they're completed. But time spent reading books that cultivate intelligence and wisdom is a labor that yields continuous benefit over a lifetime.Although it is certainly necessary, for the purposes of business and everyday life, to read about the latest news and trends, that type of reading is outside the scope of this article. My aim is to encourage the reading of books that permanently increase intelligence and, as a result, improve our chances of leading prosperous and fulfilling lives..
Science is not restricted to scientific text books. It includes all books that increase our understanding of the natural world. This includes books on commerce and society, with the unifying theme being the use of evidence to explain events.The great value of these books comes, not from the theories they prove (which will likely be disproved in the future), but from the development of curiosity and the methods of learning. Scientific books teach us how to investigate our intuition and validate it with evidence. They also inspire wonder and respect for the physical world and for our own intellect
2. Philosophy
In ancient times, science and philosophy grew from the seed of analytical thought. If science teaches us to understand the outside world, philosophy teaches us to understand ourselves. It could very well be called the science of human life.In addition to the classic philosophical works, this category also includes the great religious texts. The Bible, Koran, Bhagavad Gita, etc. are not universaly valuable because of religious dogma, but because of the wisdom and beauty that has inspired billions to live loving, pious lives.It is an unfortunate modern bias that philosophy is considered irrelevant. Although we worship at the shrine of modern technology, this is still a very human world. Philosophy will increase your understanding of human needs and desires, knowledge that is essential for spreading ideas and predicting human behavior.
3. Serious Fiction
I'd like to permanently discredit the belief that fictional works are inferior because they're only "made up stories". Only a person totally devoid of imagination could believe that. Great works of fiction contain more truth than any other literary genre because they allow the reader to experience a new reality. Fiction creates experiences that elevate your level of consciousness.Serious fiction also contains a great deal of philosophy, psychology, and history. Truman Capote said that a good novel is worth more than any scientific study. For the purpose of increasing individual human intelligence, I'm inclined to agree.Great fiction is also great language. And as I've written before, reading great language is the only way to become a better writer. It will also make you a better thinker, speaker, and conversationalist.
4. History
History feels boring because as children it meant dull text books, memorizing dates, and tedious lectures. And who can blame us? The public schools have done their best to take the humanity out of history.But at it's best, history is fascinating anecdotes, remarkable characters, and the evolution of ideas that have shaped civilization. By learning about the past we are able to interpret our own times. We are able to recognize modern prejudices and the nature of humanity.Although history may not help us predict the future, it increases self understanding and awareness. It teaches us the timelessness of ideas and morality
5. Poetry
I saved poetry for last because convincing you to take it seriously provides the greatest challenge. Poetry arouses images of Shakespearian actors reciting flowery rhymes. It's no wonder most people think it lacks substance and applicability.But to maintain this opinion is to ignore one of the great joys of human intelligence and underestimate the mysterious power of words. It's no coincidence that many languages use the same word for poet and prophet.The reading of great poetry produces a feeling that cannot be adequately described, a feeling of awe and reverence for the power of words. Great poetry is the fusion of music and meaning. It is the medium of humanity's most ancient masterpieces.Poetry sharpens language skills and develops eloquence. Meaning is only half of great language. The best authors write with a style that is both pleasurable and instructive. An appreciation of poetry is essential for reaching this degree of excellence

Happy Friday!
Where has the summer gone? It feels like just yesterday I was kicking off the summer in Montreal for the May long weekend.
That said, I really love Fall. It's my favourite season and there are lots of exciting things to look forward to including a good friend's wedding, a trip to Miami and the return of sweater weather.
Here are some bits and pieces that made my week:
- This chick does the best Kristen Stewart impression in this segment titled 'Kristen Stewart Explains Cheating.' Seriously, who cheats on Robert Pattinson? If I could go back in time I'd warn him instead of, like, completely freezing when I met him in Vancouver.
- One of my favourite SNL digital shorts: V-Necks.
- Amazing photo project – 5 friends take the same group photo for 30 years. Such a great idea!
- The Kelly-Brandon-Dylan triangle lives on in this cute Old Navy ad featuring the original cast of Beverly Hills 90210 ♥.
- Possibly the coolest thing ever. This photographer took pictures of people riding bikes…then removed the bikes so it looks like they're floating.
- I'm a HUGE Seinfeld fan. I probs have almost every episode memorized but I have to admit that there were 2 actors on this list of 'People You Probably Didn't Know Were on Seinfeld' that I hadn't recognized/noticed (#21 and #23).
- This invisible bike helmet is blowing my mind.
- Why I ♥ my neighbourhood – I went to this last weekend and it was great!
Have a great weekend!

These days, it is difficult to differentiate between news and noise. It becomes even more complex given the rapid spread of news through social media and the internet, especially when it lacks verified sources.
The recent events at the JNU campus have arrested the attention of the nation. A cultural event was organized at JNU to protest against the 'judicial killing' of a pair of convicted terrorists, Afzal Guru and Maqbool Bhat. And this is not the first time such an event was organized – it has reportedly been organized for 3 years now, on the death anniversary of Afzal Guru. Some people, in the course of this 'cultural event', shouted anti-India slogans like 'Bharat ki barbaadi tak, jang rahegi, jang rahegi' and 'India go back'. Within days, the JNU Students' Union (JNUSU) President was arrested for shouting anti-national slogans under the charges of sedition under Section 124-A, although the police remain silent on the issue of whether he actually raised any such slogans. The matter has become heavily politicized after this turn of events.
The organizers of the 'cultural event' have claimed that they were merely using their constitutional right of freedom of expression and their right to disagree and have a different opinion, while the Government has claimed the event as anti-national, a glorification of a convicted terrorist, and a secessionist ideology beguiling people under the innocent garb of Leftism and freedom of expression. The Home Minister even went on to claim that the event had the backing of Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed. JuD is the philanthropy arm of the terrorist outfit, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
This raises several sensitive and uncomfortable questions. How far can freedom of expression be stretched and what exactly are the 'reasonable restrictions' imposed on it? Was the event really anti-national or is that too harsh a label? Was the event seditious? And if the event was not so, were the slogans seditious?
First and foremost, let us be clear and state unhesitatingly that not every statement against the Indian State is anti-national. The State can be, and is, criticized by its citizens, and that is one of the pillars of our democratic foundation. How many times have we claimed in the comfort of our homes 'Yaar, iss desh ka kuch nahi ho sakta.'? But, let us also be equally clear, if not more so, that anybody talking about the 'barbaadi' of India is anti-national and this label is not only justified but even necessary to brand such elements in our society.
Now, who was shouting these slogans? The organizers claim that some Kashmiris from outside the JNU campus raised these slogans. Let us not view this as an impossible claim. In the videos, it seems near impossible to identify the people raising these slogans. The JNUSU President who has been arrested was seen in the video saying pro-India and pro-constitution things in his speech. However, it is undeniable that there were some people in the crowd, even if there were none among the organizers, who harboured an anti-national feeling and a separatist ideology. Branding JNU, however, as anti-national is certainly not warranted.
An organiser, in an interview, claimed that the Supreme Court ruled that they do not have enough evidence to convict Guru but to satisfy the collective conscience of the country they hanged the man. This is a part of the final ruling of the Supreme Court:
"The incident, which resulted in heavy casualties, had shaken the entire nation and the collective conscience of the society will only be satisfied if the capital punishment is awarded to the offender. The challenge to the unity, integrity and sovereignty of India by these acts of terrorists and conspirators, can only be compensated by giving the maximum punishment to the person who is proved to be the conspirator in this treacherous act. The appellant, who is a surrendered militant and who was bent upon repeating the acts of treason against the nation, is a menace to the society and his life should become extinct. Accordingly, we uphold the death sentence."
Legal experts have however argued that the evidence against him was circumstantial but that is a matter pertaining to a legal debate. But it must be noted here that Afzal Guru had, if nothing, exhausted every legal option. After the special POTA (Prevention of Terrorism Act) sessions court awarded him capital punishment, he filed an appeal in the Delhi High Court. His appeal was rejected and the capital punishment was upheld following which he moved the Supreme Court. After the Supreme Court's judgement, he filed a review petition, which subsequently upheld the death sentence. Following that, Guru filed a curative petition, which was again heard and which, again, upheld the sentence. After that, he filed a mercy petition with the President of India which was rejected after 8 years, in 2013.
Coming to the question of freedom of expression and sedition, we must remember that the true test of a democracy is to withstand opinions that differ from ours, and may sometimes even be in grave contrast to them. A person may disagree with death penalty. A person may disagree with the Supreme Court's verdict of the conviction of Afzal Guru as a terrorist, and they're free to do so and to express their opinion on the matter. A person may even claim that a certain convicted terrorist was not only a hero but is also a martyr. In fact, a person may even leave all that behind and go ahead and claim that they want to witness the destruction of India. And none of those will invoke Section 124-A of the IPC. Talking against a political party in power, the government, the judiciary or even raising anti- India slogans is not necessarily sedition. The Supreme Court, in the Kedar Nath Singh vs. State of Bihar case in 1962, had declared:
"…words and speech can be criminalised and punished only in situations where it is being used to incite mobs or crowds to violent action. Mere words and phrases by themselves, no matter how distasteful, do not amount to a criminal offence unless this condition is met."
As an example, the Supreme Court acquitted persons who had shouted "Khalistan zindabaad, Raj Karega Khalsa" and, "Hinduan Nun Punjab Chon Kadh Ke Chhadange, Hun Mauka Aya Hai Raj Kayam Karan Da" (Hindus will leave Punjab; this is our chance, we will rule) just hours after the assassination of Indira Gandhi.
This renders any charge of sedition in the given circumstances meaningless. However, Section 124-A, a remnant of the colonial era, has been used by all Governments as a tool to curtail freedom of speech to a certain extent and silence critics. Interestingly, England itself abolished the law in 2009.
It must also be remembered, though, that the government is well within its rights to initiate a probe in the matter if it believes, with reasonable evidence, that there is a threat to the security, as claimed by the Home Minister when he linked the event to a known terrorist organisation. In such a situation, the government should cite proper reasons and furnish evidence to support its claims and go on to make arrests for the appropriate reasons. After all, it is the responsibility of the government to protect its citizens. If the government indeed has intelligence inputs, it must take action, and we must not blow the actions of the government out of proportion. But it must do so under appropriate charges and not under the garb of sedition.
Since we're talking of Jawaharlal Nehru University, it is apt that the following two statements made by Nehru offer a comprehensive yet concise view of the situation from two opposing but equally important perspectives:
"Where freedom is menaced or justice threatened or where aggression takes place, we cannot be and shall not be neutral."
"There is nothing more horrifying than stupidity in action."
Differences in opinions are understandable and even welcome in our society. We do tend to become over-zealous in protecting our own version of the truth at times, and that is natural, but a certain amount of that zeal is healthy. We must remain open to arguments, however contradictory they may seem as long as they are within the bounds of the principles our country was founded on. Debating upon the conviction of a terrorist by the highest court of law of the land is certainly permissible within the boundaries of democracy. Organising an event to protest against the 'judicial killing' of convicted terrorists and an expression of solidarity with the Kashmiri people's right to self-determination is also within the confines of the democracy. However, declaring that a terrorist convicted by the Supreme Court of the nation is a martyr, and going on to proclaim the destruction of the nation they live in, is not something that can be acceptable to any Indian who even remotely loves his country, though it is certainly not seditious in this context. And even then, the people uphold constitutional sovereignty and grant such people their freedom of expression, which is a really tolerant thing for the citizens of this country to do. There will be dissent and there will be anger and certain fringe sections may even resort to violence. The media might blow such things out of proportion, which is not to say that it has. The political parties and the Government may squabble among themselves and politicize the event in different colours and show varied intensities of tolerance for the same. Let us remember though, that neither the media nor the Government and political parties reflect India. Who does, you ask? We, the people.

July 6, 2015: International Finance Magazine -For the past two decades, Japan has been searching to get its economic mojo back. Several governments have done their bit, but nothing seems to have paid the desired dividends.
In the 1940s, the then start-ups like Honda, Nikon, Sony and many others helped Japan rise from the ashes of World War II. These world-class companies gave many Western firms a run for their money and helped Japan catch up with the First World within decades. Though even today it remains the third largest economy after US and China, Japan has been trapped in a cycle of economic stagnation and deflation since the 1990s.
A comparison of the two eras show that the missing link has been the lack of creative spirit. Hence, it is not surprising that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has put startups as one of the focus points of 'Abenomics' policies. What followed was a series of reforms, including deregulation of special economic zones, which is bound to create more opportunities for entrepreneurs. The Prime Minister's intent to promote startups can be measured by the fact that he recently became the first sitting Japanese leader to visit Silicon Valley.
Hence, things have started looking up a little. "Startup activity in Japan has been on the rise, especially in the past five years. This is in large part due to the changing risk/reward structure of starting/joining a startup. Today, it is much cheaper to start a venture and an entrepreneur can finance it with equity, not debt. Even if the startup fails, the entrepreneur can survive," says C. Jeffrey Char, President & CEO, J-Seed Ventures, a Tokyo-based venture incubator and Japan market entry specialist.
However, a lot needs to be done. And it starts from changing the attitude towards failure. Abe recently admitted that "in the US and Silicon Valley, risk-takers are respected. This, I believe, is something that is most needed by Japanese businesspeople."
Terrie Lloyd, serial entrepreneur who is based in Tokyo, echoes Abe's views. "The startup environment here is underdeveloped mainly because Japanese are risk averse. From a young age,children are taught to be obedient, quiet and submissive. Hence, they grow in an environment where having a safe career is looked up to and given more priority over following your passion and starting your own firm," says Lloyd.
Beyond the attitude and psychological barriers, there are other roadblocks as well. For instance, there are not enough venture capitalists in place to support startups. "The past six years has seen more and more youngsters getting interested in startups, but there are less number of people out there supporting these startups in the form of VCs, angel investors or mentors," remarks Kaz Terada, CEO, A2O, a Tokyo-based venture capital fund.
The venture capitalist market in Japan is worth $2 billion whereas the same in the US is $30 billion in size, says Terada adding that Japanese companies still prefer IPOs to mergers and acquisitions. "In Japan, only 10-20% of companies say they want to be targeted for mergers and acquisitions, but in Silicon Valley, it's 80%," says Terada adding for Japanese the company is family whereas for young Americans the company is a tool to achieve something bigger.
Also, despite sitting on a pile of cash,large organisations do not utilise it for innovation. Open innovation as a culture has never been encouraged or emphasised upon leading to big companies losing their competitiveness in the international market.
Experts do not seem to be too impressed withthe government's efforts to improve the startup scenario. "There is a lot of talk, but not much effective action taking place.I feel lack of venture capital is not the main bottleneck to a vibrant startup ecosystem. The Japanese government has a tendency to over-regulate, which makes it difficult for ventures with innovative solutions to gain traction in the market place," says Char. Hence, an overhaul of the regulatory framework is required to reduce and remove regulations that are no longer appropriate. "Moreover, the government should stop supporting small companies and instead encourage young companies (<5 years since incorporation) since these are the ones that create employment. The government should also create a preference policy to purchase some nominal amount (e.g., 1-5%) of goods and services from startups when possible," suggests Char.
Additionally, the government should also make it easier and cheaper to shut down failed ventures. This will enable human capital, especially those with relevant startup experience to work on more productive ventures.

Ramana Vinjamuri received his undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering from Kakatiya University (India) in 2002. He received his MS in Electrical Engineering from Villanova University in 2004 specialized in Bioinstrumentation. He received his PhD in Electrical Engineering in 2008 specialized in Dimensionality Reduction in Control and Coordination of Human Hand from the University of Pittsburgh. He worked as a postdoctoral fellow (2008-2012) in the field of Brain Machine Interfaces (BMI) to control prosthesis in the School of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh. He worked as a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University (2012-2013).
In 2010, he was awarded Mary E. Switzer Merit Fellowship by National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) for his proposal, "A synergy based BMI to reanimate paralyzed hands". He has a pending patent as the lead inventor on related technology. In 2011, he was elevated to IEEE Senior Member. He has authored several publications in IEEE Transactions and conferences and other journals in the fields of biomedical engineering. He serves as reviewer for journals and conferences including IEEE Transactions in Biomedical Engineering, IEEE Transactions in Neural Networks, IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transport Systems, IEEE EMBC, Journal of Neural engineering, Sensors, International Journal of Nano Medicine, etc. He also serves as grants reviewer for NIDRR
Our lab studies Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs) that control upper-limb prosthesis. In particular, we are interested in how brain controls complex hand movements. The human hand has about 30 dimensions in contrast to human arm that has only 7 dimensions. BMIs that control human arms have already been demonstrated with decent accuracies. What type of interface is needed to extend the control from 7 to 37 dimensions forms the central topic of research of the lab. This question is answered from several angles of approach including: studying the human hand kinematics, studying the nature and representation muscle activities during hand movements, and finally studying the neural signals in the brain. These studies involve application of linear and nonlinear signal processing, control and optimization methods.

We buy, sell, and trade pinball's--why buy a pinball machine or two or three? With only one manufacturer making very few new pinball's, and the big ones like Bally and Williams out of business, pinball's are getting harder to find. The past years have seen steady increasing prices with the average machine gaining almost 3% a year. Pinball's are very fun to play because every time you play one it's different. Some games are very popular only because of low production numbers (like Cactus Canyon--only 925 produced). However, there are many undervalued games that are great fun to play and very affordable. Buy one and you'll understand what all the fuss is about. A GREAT investment - you can play with !

ASTORIA, Ore., Jan. 29 (UPI) -- Scores of brown pelicans that failed to migrate south have starved or been injured along Oregon's coast this winter, biologists said.
The birds are some of the estimated 20,000 brown pelicans that live along the Oregon coast in warmer months and migrate to Southern California and Mexico for the winter to breed.
A shift in ocean and wind patterns, which could be related to climate change, provided an abundance of bait fish for the pelicans to eat through last month.
Now, the food supply has moved into deeper waters, forcing the pelicans to come ashore to hunt for food around piers, backyards and beaches, The (Portland) Oregonian reported Friday.
"This is the most (pelicans) we've ever seen here in January," said Roy Lowe of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife office in Newport.
Dozens have starved to death, while an estimated 100 dying and injured pelicans were being treated at the Wildlife Center of the North Coast near Astoria.
