About Diffactory
Kansas City...remember how our community came together to support two KCFD fallen firefighter's families in 2015?
The lines of people at Cumpy's T-Shirt shop to order the KCFD Tribute hats were amazing. At that point, we knew we had to help Cumpy's fulfill the local and national demand for the hats.
If you bought one of those hats online then that is where you first encountered our company, Diffactory.
As a digital marketing company, we felt compelled to help.
We donated the Shopify site to Cumpy's and fell in love with the platform. From there we brought on one of the best Shopify developers in the country. The rest of our Shopify story is still being written and we would love for you to be part of it.
The result of our first project: $70K donated to the fallen firefighters' families.
We are Diffactory.

The manager of a Shell Oil complex that spilled 175,000 gallons of crude oil, killing scores of animals and birds, says workers broke company policy by keeping open a storm-drain valve that allowed the pollution to spread.
But Shell, which has promised to pay for the $1 million cleanup in the Carquinez Strait, denied suggestions by a state official that the design of its storm drainage system may have violated federal anti-pollution regulations.The spill resulted from the rupture of a 4-inch drainage pipe intended to carry rainwater from the roof of a 300,000-barrel oil tank through the inside of the vessel and into the ground beneath a containment dike at the base of the tank, Larry Kolb of the Regional Water Quality Control Board said.
The oil instead flowed out the bottom of the storm pipe, where a shutoff valve had been left open against company rules, said Ron Banducci, manager of the Shell complex.
When the storm-drain valve was left open last week, "They did not anticipate a major mechanical failure," he said Thursday. "If the valve had been closed, it would have prevented the spill."
Banducci did not cite any individual employee and said he did not know whether supervisors condoned leaving the valve open.
Banducci said that despite a policy that such valves remain closed, they were routinely left open when it rained.
"The procedure said one thing, and the actual practice was something else," said Shell spokesman Bill Sharkey.
The leak produced one of the worst oil spills in the San Francisco Bay area in recent years, blackening a surrounding marshland and killing nearly 200 migratory birds and small mammals. Fish and game workers fired cannons at regular intervals around the clock to keep birds from landing in the blackened area.

Impurity transport studies on Alcator C-Mod tokamak using charge exchange recombination spectroscopy
MetadataShow full item record
A Charge-Exchange Recombination Spectroscopy (CXRS) diagnostic has been installed on Alcator C-Mod to study the transport of light impurities in plasma. The system provides spatially (1 cm) and temporally (12.5 msec) resolved measurements of the impurity density, temperature and flow velocities of the particular impurity. Two optical arrays: poloidal (19 channels) and toroidal (10 channels), collect the light emitted from excited impurity ion populated by charge exchange process from the Diagnostic Neutral Beam (DNB) particle. The attention of this dissertation is focused on the B⁴⁺ (n = 7 [-->] 6) spectral line emitted by B⁴⁺ ion formed in the following charge exchange reaction (H⁰ + B⁵⁺ [-->] H+ + B⁴⁺*). A complex spectral model was developed to simulate emission. The high magnetic fields of C-Mod result in broad Zeeman patterns which must be taken into account for the interpretation of the line shift and broadening in terms of impurity ion velocity and temperature. After the spectral line fitting and careful identification of the charge exchange component, the calculated Doppler broadening and shifts of the spectral line profile yield information on the ion temperature and rotation. Together with the calculation of the beam density, the absolute calibration of the CXRS optical system provides us with B⁵⁺ density measurement capabilities. One of the main objectives of this work was to use the acquired impurity density, temperature and flow velocity profiles to investigate plasma transport behavior and infer the radial electric field E[subscript R] from plasma force balance equation. The focus here was placed on the region of the Internal Transport Barrier (ITB) formation 0.35 < p < 0.8. Radial electric field E[subscript R] is readily calculated in the region of the ITB foot using measured B⁵⁺ profiles. ExB velocity shearing turbulence stabilization are believed to play an important role in the physics of the ITB formation. The computed E[subscript R] profiles demonstrated the large difference between the H-mode and ITB discharges. Linear gyrokinetic stability analysis (GS2) demonstrated that shearing rate w[subscript ExB] prevails over the linear Ion Temperature Gradient (ITG) growth rates [gamma subscript max] in the region where ITB forms.

Advice for an Asian-American man (facing a dilemma)
I feel like there's a divide between East Asians and SE Asians in America. Asian guys complain about how Asian females (who grew up in America) are not Asian men, but White men. The Asian men are mostly of East Asian descents -- ABC, Korean-American, etc.
Think East Asian men have it tough? It's even more difficult for SE Asian men in America.
Between East Asians and SE Asians, the latter are perceived as being more poor (at least in the states).
However, I've worked my way to in terms staying physically healthy (working out), eating healthy (cooking), being educated (constantly learning new things/cultures), and working hard on my business.
The dating market for someone of my culture background is quite invisible -- plenty of Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese students/visa workers; but rare for SE Asians. And when you hear about men going abroad to marry a women from SE Asia -- they usually think of old White guys going abroad.
Looking around the SE Asian America community, a lot of these girls are too Westernized and becoming no different from their White American counterparts -- many act and talk "ghetto" slang English. I can understand a poor immigrant family working hard to become rich, but some of these girls make it a part of their lifestyle now. You know -- they want to gain cred from coming the hood as part of the rap/hip-hop culture.
There's a Khmer-American female I know who have so many tattoos all over her body and yet claim "Khmer Pride." Ironically, she can't even speak Khmer nor cook Khmer food; and there plenty of Asian-American women like her in the US. Many of the smart, beautiful, and well-off Khmer-American girls are already married with White men.
It's like "ghetto" Khmer girls in America date other Khmer thugs/gangs in their social circle and the smart ones date White guys.
If Asian-American (of East Asians descent) females are rejecting Asian guys, they will only be friends to SE Asian men.
I also worry about my future here in America -- I do not do date Westernized female thugs who already made out with other thugs; and the smart ones are already in a relationship with White guys. I am close to my heritage, but the girls here are too Americanized.
Going to Cambodia for a lady will be difficult -- I am have to extremely careful of ones that are bar girls looking for marriage. Many are already banged up by Western sex tourists; and whether those men think it's offensive to Asian men abroad or corrupted the girl's culture is irrelevant. Lust and money rule there. There too many sex tourists, mongers, old dirty perverts that have corrupted the sex trade industry there. Many are European divorcees or American men fed up with "feminist-first" American women like me.
I do not want be a sex tourists paying hookers. I do not support that crap. That thought already disgusts me knowing how the dark-side of sex slave industry works there. It is for the faint of heart to hear the story of what girls go through to sell their bodies there. Sex tourists who go there do not have guilt about it though (ignorance is bliss; lust/libido taking over for them).

Re: Advice for an Asian-American man (facing a dilemma)
If your young study or build a skill set that can get you work. EX. computer skills or some sort of trade. Make some money or do what many guys do. Take the ESL route but you still need a college degree as the bare minimum.
South Asian guys do have it hard but I don't know if it's harder than East Asian guys. I think we are kind of in the same boat.
If I were you look towards abroad. If that can't work try to find your niche community and always work on yourself.
The difference dating here vs dating abroad is that American girls including Asian girls are way picky but the American girls themselves are typically lower quality.
And if you get depress find some outlet.
Re: Advice for an Asian-American man (facing a dilemma)
Well, all my friends and family are in America. My business partners are in America. I do business here (in the tech field).
The problem is, in the long-term, finding a romantic partner is hard. Yes, friends, acquaintances, drinking buddies, and business associates are fine -- the dating world in the Western society for Asian men is a different story.
For every Asian Guy/White female couple here in America, there 20x more White Guy/Asian female.
Asian-American men (esp. SE Asian American) men have it the hardest here. Sure, I can go for a White gal, Latina, or East Asian, but I prefer someone who understand my heritage a bit. Otherwise, we're just long-term friends and partners.
I dont want to give all of this to go to a third-world country just for a wife. In fact, the country, that I've been chatted a few females with, told me they dont even know what Paypal is! Nor, does certain services in their country may accept the requirements I have for my tech business.
I do like the idea of bringing wife to the US and work with me. But how long is the process? Are there VISA paper work I need to fill out?
Re: Advice for an Asian-American man (facing a dilemma)
I can't tell you what you ought to do, and kudos on not using hookers, but......what manner of place is this where East Asian girls don't go for East Asian boys? I'd like to visit the actual city where White dudes are as popular with the EA girls as the EA boys seem to think we are (assuming both races are present in significant numbers). Maybe you and I should trade places.
From what I've seen, every EA girl who is reasonably attractive and has options will choose an EA boy over a White boy almost every time. Only when she is beginning to age and her prettiness has all but faded into distant memory (or she never had much to begin with) does she begin to seriously consider a man outside her race/culture due to the reality that men of her own race/culture will not look at her anymore. And at this point some representative of the White man, with his laughably low standards, can be counted on to be standing by to rescue her. That's why White guy with Asian female exists. I see it a lot. Most of the time the level of physical attractiveness of said Asian female makes me want to run for the hills.
And then we are not talking about a girl any more. I will call her a girl if she is in her 20's or maybe early 30's. After that, no.
I completely agree tho that the Asian guy who fancies White girls has it *even harder*. Women are really not very open-minded about international dating the way men are. It sucks all around.

You sound like you need a blow-up sex doll
Re: Advice for an Asian-American man (facing a dilemma)
Nah, Mr Lee -- until AI Human-like Bots become a reality, I might consider. =)
Re: Advice for an Asian-American man (facing a dilemma)
Why can't you spend some vacation time in Cambodia looking for a wife? Are you in one of those tech jobs where you work all the time and don't get any time off?
I did a quick web search and saw that Cambodia had a tradition of arranged marriages. Why don't you ask your parents to have relatives set you up just to meet some nice girls back in their home country. (If you are third generation, maybe your grandparents could help.) You might find a village full of Cambodian virgin girls lined up to go on a date with a well-to-do tech industry man who lives in North America.
Or you could just fly there, meet some aunts, cousins, etc., and ask them to introduce you to a nice, smart, pretty, hard-working, submissive young woman with a cheerful attitude who knows how to cook, who is marriage-minded, and eager to get married and to please her future husband. I assume you speak Khmer.
The downside of marrying a village girl would be she might not know how to live in the modern western world. You'd have to teach her basic things you might not have thought about like how to use a washing machine and the need to refrigerate food. You may have to teach basic hygiene. You could send her out for English classes. Some communities have free or low-cost programs for immigrants. if you live in a big city with a suitable Asian grocery store and a Khmer-speaking community with some married women for her to hang out with that aren't thugs, that would make it easier.
Re: Advice for an Asian-American man (facing a dilemma)
The question is if you ever considered to relocate to Asia. Have you been in Asia before? Which Asian languages can you speak and read?
To find a long term relationship is not only a problem for Asian American men. If you read through this forum, this is a problem for many men regardless their race or educational background and not only in USA, but almost everywhere in the Western world.
What means 'Asian female'? In USA this means plainly nothing - they are 'American women' - regardless their race, they are all the same, 'American women'.
I am an immigrant myself, not to USA, but as a white man to Asia, just the other way ...
Here in Japan, local single men are often willing to accept international/interracial marriage - much more frequent than Japanese women do, and now married couples: man=Japanese/woman=foreigner outnumber foreign man/Japanese women marriages by more than 2:1.
Situation is worse in Korea - many more Korean men with foreign wife than foreign men with Korean wife.
On the other side, I met Chinese women, who are totally into marriage with a Chinese man only, especially overseas Chinese, and totally reject a long-term relationship with other races. If they do, similar to Thai women, such marriages are ending often in divorce.
This is understandable, as there are only few SE Asian American people living permanently in the States, and you have to consider the presence of Islam from that region, like Indonesia, Malaysia... - Religion is another serious obstancle reducing the number of available SE Asian women even more.
As a fact, the majority of people in the USA is white, you cannot change that. Of course the chance to meet a local woman is the best with white women as they are the majority... maybe the propertion white:Asian is something like 70:5 percent, 1 Asian women vs. 14 white women, something like that.
In your case, if you insist on a SE Asian woman, your chance in USA is rather poor, you really should get on an airplane, direction Asia...
Re: Advice for an Asian-American man (facing a dilemma)
I have many times visited Cambodia, easy to enter from Thailand. The friendliest people I met in my life!
It must be very easy for an overseas Cambodian man to be introduced to local Cambodian women, but only if he still speaks the - rather difficult - language and knows about daily life in Cambodia.
For doing this you don't need any relatives in Cambodia, but what you need is time, to walk and drive around and to talk to local people just everywhere and ask to introduce you... I think many women will show up, but slowly, after a while... Again, it's all about TIME. It takes time.
The problem is that Cambodia has really a small population, about 15 million, dispersed and many of them are living outside in poor housing condition in small villages with very limited educational background.
Cambodian people in general however are very clean, willing to learn and also talented to accept foreign languages. However again, you need time, you have to drive around by car or at least stay in these few major cities for a while and talk to all these friendly locals near to you.
Re: Advice for an Asian-American man (facing a dilemma)
Malaysia has many Indian and Chinese Christians. Christianity among the Malayu people-groups is persecuted by the state, I hear. In Indonesia, there are lots of local Christians. Officially, it's 89% Muslim. But I'd imagine it's lower since Christianity has grown. There are regions like in Manado in Sulaweisi or some of the Batak regions in Sumatra and parts of islands of NTT where most people profess Christianity as their religion. There are also regions of Java like that. The vast majority of Balinese are Hindus. There are Chinese Buddhists, though a lot of them have converted to Christanity.
Re: Advice for an Asian-American man (facing a dilemma)
MrMan - that is kind of what I have in mind.
Asian-American females are indeed Americans. But drawing a distinction as 'Asians' allows us to see beyond the patriotic "red-blooded American women" -- there are still elements of her upbringing, cultural values, and family issues that are unique to being of Asian descents. Her experience as a Asian female is likely to be different than the average White American girl growing in terms of facing racial discrimination, social values, and practicing certain customs in America.
With that said, 2nd/3rd generations are just like any American girls -- materialistic, entitled, familiar with Western pop culture, too career-oriented, into fast-food, etc. That's where the similarities are.
And that's where, being an Asian man in America, I want to keep my family heritage strong, have them understand their roots/culture, and not waste their life thinking that being an American is about watching reality TV, eating at McDonalds eveyday, and shopping at Walmart all the time.
As for online dating sites - in the US, you'll hardly find any Khmer girls at all. And even then, Asian men are not seen as "date-able" in the US market. Why bother online and offline? It doesnt work that way for Asian men who are single in America. Even the Asian men who manage to get non-Asian females these day got to work 3x harder than their White men counterparts, on average.
I did find some luck using a Thai dating sites and filtering it out by Cambodia. There's really no Khmer dating sites out there. You're right -- the population is too small and poor to begin with. But what really surprise me was, these Khmer girls were so SURPRISE to see a Khmer guy sending her a message in Khmer. Why? The majority of these Thai girl dating sites are catered towards older foreign/Western White men looking for young Asian female.
My choices are still limited wooing these girls, but it just gives me a sign of hope that these Khmer ladies actually prefer Khmer men on dating sites. But then, being from America, there's still a huge culture gap! Even though we can understand each other language, music, food, etc -- the girl was unfamiliar what Amazon.com even was nor know anything about current movies. That's fine though -- I'm willing to teach them.
Yes, as I mentioned,- I'm willing to teach that person. That means, if I do bring her, the first year will all be about teaching her English, how to drive/Uber, how to go shopping, how to handle conflicts in public, etc.
Fortunately, I can speak her language, so it should not be a problem, unlike White men who married an Asian girl and doesnt know the language at all!
Re: Advice for an Asian-American man (facing a dilemma)
I think SE Asians have a better chance of dating girls, non-Asian girls, here in the US. SE Asian men tend to be less nerdy (except for some Vietnamese guys I have seen in high school).
Filipino, Cambodian, Laotian, Vietnamese guys tend to be more athletic, look darker (have brown skin.....it's a plus for men!), look less NE Asian/oriental, etc.
So there are HUGE pluses to you SE Asian men dating here in the US.
Good for you NxTtheory! Stay healthy, cook your own food (try to stay away from eating out), exercise, etc. Keep on that track brother!
Sad but true. A lot of East Asian parents, like my ignorant Korean mom, thinks of me marrying SE Asian girls as "downgrading."
I even was introduced to a Cambodian girl here in WA state last year by my Korean female friend. My mom thought negatively of the Cambodian girl.
So sad. I also know this Cambodian-American girl in my Vietnamese friend's social circle who is dating some creepy white guy from colorado.
I am curious NXtTheory, which city in the US do you live in?
I know places like L.A. can be a difficult place to date, especially for Asian men. Full of fake people there who care about money, your skin color/race, what kind of car you drive, etc.
Eeewww. I too would not date thug-like Asian women with tattoos all over their body. Looks nasty!
Sadly, that might be your only option left if you are strictly looking for a Cambodian girl to marry, and have been having difficult time here in this crappy country, of finding a Cambodian-American girlfriend to date, or a potential partner to marry.
Not all Cambodian girls in Cambodia are bar girls. I'm sure your parents or relatives can help you find a girl from the country side in Cambodia.
The only difficult part for a country girl is for her to adjust to the US lifestyle, versus her used to living in the country side, not using machines to do house chores, etc.
Yes, sex tourists from any countries who visit SE Asia or the Philippines to have sex with the girls, both legal and under-aged girls, are twisted people! A lot of them are western guys who have been through divorce and want to have sex fun and squander their money. Very disgusting.
Re: Advice for an Asian-American man (facing a dilemma)
Why is the situation of Korean men - foreign women relationship "Worse" in South Korea, versus Japan?
It's easy for a European gaijin like you to travel to Japan and be treated like a king.
However, here in the US, East Asian men get discriminated against heavily when it comes to dating and finding a marriage prospect.
So true about some of the Chinese women I have met here in the US, on dating websites. I met this Chinese girl here, she's originally from some small town outside of Beijing area. When we met up for a dinner date, she told me that she prefers to marry and date Chinese guys. She literally wasted my time meeting her when I had already specified that I'm Korean/Japanes in my profile. Ugh!

German luxury carmaker, BMW has launched its all new 5 series in India at an aggressive price tag of Rs. 49.9 Lakhs (ex-showroom). The german player is all set to take on the mid-size luxury sedan segment on a roll with the new 2017 BMW 5 Series. The new 5 series is not just a facelift and is a brand new car aesthetically and somewhat mechanically as well.
What are the engine options?
The new 5 Series is launched with three engine options – one petrol (530i) and two diesel mills (520d & 530d). While the 530i will be powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged unit (similar to the 3 Series and GT), the 520d will house the frugal 2.0-litre diesel motor whereas the 530d will come with the torquey 3.0-litre diesel unit. All the three variants will be paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission with power being sent to the rear wheels.
What about the Power figures?
The 2.0-litre turbocharged motor in the 530i will be good enough for 252PS of maximum power and 350Nm of peak torque. The sales chart topping 520d will come with the tried and tested 2.0-litre turbo diesel with 190PS of max power and 400Nm of torque. The enthusiast-friendly 530d will be churning out 265PS of power along with a healthy 620Nm of torque. The 530 will also sport an M Sport kit which mainly includes cosmetic changes and some parts from its M range of cars.
How Techy is it?
Features like auto parking, wireless charging and hand gesture controls will be borrowed from the new 7 Series which seriously raises the technology quotient in this segment. A smart key which displays the fuel range, air conditioning controls and the parking system tech will also be made available with the new 5 Series.
What are the variant-wise prices?
|530i Sport Line
|Rs 49.90 lakh
|520d Sport Line

For years, when it came to cleaning between your teeth, we used dental floss. This can still be very effective but the relatively recent arrival of the interdental brush has been a very important development when it comes to managing your own oral hygiene. Regular tooth brushing can only do so much so at Inchicore Dental Surgery, we recommend to our patients that interdental brushing is easy to do and will make your feel better too.
Think about how you brush your teeth at the moment. Your regular toothbrush only cleans the surfaces of your teeth and if you are very diligent, can clean a little in between the teeth. It's between the teeth where the bacteria can hide and build up and this is where your interdental brush does its work. It's important to remember that the interdental brush works in tandem with your regular brushing routine and is not a substitute.
Brushing between and not over …how to use interdental brushes
- Ask your dentist about what interdental brushes they recommend and remember to find out what the best size is for your teeth. Some manufacturers provide a range of sizes which match the gaps between your teeth. It's crucial you use the right size, otherwise your brush may be too big or in some cases too small.
- It's possible that you will require a range of different sizes as not all the tiny gaps between your teeth are the same size.
- Then insert the brush gently between your teeth. Look in the mirror for guidance.
- Move the brush full length back and forth a few times. If it's your first time to use one of these brushes, you may bleed a little but this is perfectly normal. But don't push too hard. If you are finding a lot of resistance, try another angle or a smaller brush size.
- Rinse the brush after use and replace when you see the fibres worn down.
Interdental brushes can genuinely prevent gum disease if used correctly. If you're having trouble using them, just ask us at Inchicore Dental surgery and we'll show you how to get the best results and keep your oral hygiene in top shape.
Make an appointment for your next check up now and ask us all about it when you get here

Ibidio was a Wyrr dragonelle living before and during the Age of Fire. She was part of the Imperial Family and had in important political role in the events of her time.
Life Edit
Ibidio was the daughter-by-mating of Tyr Fehazathant and Tighlia. She was quite prominent in the Imperial Family until her mate (the Tyr's only son) died under suspicious circumstances. She shrunk away from Lavadome society shortly thereafter, contenting to raise her son SiMevolant her daughters, Halaflora, Imfamnia, and Ayafeeia. When Fehazathant was murdered, Ibidio re-emerged into Lavadome society, calling for the Copper to be named Tyr and spearheading the rebellion against SiMevolant with the Immortal Memory group.
However her time as an ally of RuGaard came to an end: embittered over the loss of Halaflora and suspicious as ever of the circumstances surrounding her death, Ibidio searched to dethrone the Copper as violently as possible. It was her influence that made the Copper and Nilrasha separated, as terms of the Copper's exile. Eventually, she confronted with Nilrasha, and was killed by her during a savage fight.
Legacy Edit
Ibidio at first proved to be a capable member of the Imperial Family, supporting RuGaard when the freedom and life of all the dragons were in danger. Her personal losses however devastated her soul and her mind, bringing her to an obsessive quest for revenge on RuGaard himself, who she believed responsible of her daughter's death. She laid two clutches for his mate AgGriffopse: the first one with SiMevolant and Halaflora, the second one with Imfamnia and Ayafeeia and no clutch-winner survived. All of them were deeply involved in the following events during the Age of Fire.

To help make Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon the bourbon to recommend, we set out to influence the influencers. So we created a grassroots program to engage bartenders. In key markets we organized private tasting parties with renowned local chefs and invited bartenders to join us for a special evening. The Book of Bourbon was created to incent them, inform them, and inspire them to become a bourbon connoisseur. We even gave them a taste of our premium Kentucky bourbon hidden within the pages of the book. Tell me more about this project.

Denmark startup NMD Pharma has snagged a $47 million round of funding to push two programs for orphan neuromuscular disorders into proof-of-concept studies.
The Series A was backed by new investors Roche Venture Fund and INKEF Capital, the latter of which led the round. They were joined by existing investors Novo Seeds and Lundbeckfonden Emerge.
NMD is developing small molecule inhibitors of the muscle-specific chloride ion channel — the ClC-1 ion channel. The company says ClC-1 inhibition can strengthen neuromuscular transmission and ultimately skeletal muscle function in both fast and slow-twitch muscle fibers. NMD says the approach showed compelling data across several orphan neuromuscular diseases, including Myasthenia Gravis (MG) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
"We have been very impressed by NMD's depth of expertise on ClC-1 in skeletal muscle function, their unique electrophysiological screening pipeline to identify novel ClC-1 inhibitors, and the effectiveness of their development strategy, as complemented by leading clinical research groups in the Netherlands," said Lucas de Breed, director at INKEF Capital, in a statement. "We believe that with this funding round, NMD is well positioned to demonstrate significant impact on the unmet need of patients suffering from neuromuscular diseases and address other clinical opportunities to regain muscle strength."

Author: Lauren Spalding
Status: Project Concept
Background: Epilepsy is an increasingly developing disease, with over 65 million people affected. Those with epilepsy are at risk for a seizure at any given moment, therefore they are limited to everyday activities such as driving, especially independently. In each state, the driving regulations differ, however all patients are at risk of experiencing an epileptic attack while driving. If the patient was to have a seizure while driving, they would quickly lose control of the vehicle and potentially cause trauma to themselves and others around them. This puts people with epilepsy in a situation that deprives them of their independence, as they can no longer drive themselves or others.
Goal: The goal of this project idea is to use supervised machine learning to detect the pre-symptoms of an epileptic seizure due to the pattern recognition of each patient's individual seizure. After detecting that the patient would have a seizure, it would alert the patient to pull over to the side and then notify either an emergency medical technician or the primary person who is caring for that patient. This would provide an accurate detection due to the way that the machine functions, as it can recognize facial and physical changes in the way the patient acts.
Methods: The machine learning tool would first analyze a video taken of the seizures that the patient experiences on a day-to-day basis. Through doing this, the system would be able to detect how a patient's physical and emotional state changes before the seizure starts. The system would track the patterns and then apply them to when the person is driving. These patterns can include jerking, excessive staring, or facial abnormalities. Due to the individualization aspect of the seizure, the machine would recognize the specific indications that are personal to that single patient. Once the machine detects that the person will be having a seizure, it would alert the patient to pull their vehicle over to the side lane and completely stop the car. Once the computing system recognizes that the patient is actually experiencing the seizure, it would either notify an emergency medical team or the person who is primarily taking care of the patient. This connects back to the individualized part of epilepsy, as patients have different ways of using others to manage their epilepsy. The machine would be programmed to call or notify whatever person/team that the patient needs, as ambulance service has the ability to be expensive, therefore it would be unnecessary for the system to notify EMTs each time, especially if the patient does not need that type of help each time that they have a seizure.

Looking for the Best Combination of Acne Treatments?
By Tammy Chacon
Worry about acne or unpleasant acne scars?
Don't feel upset about yourself because almost everyone has experienced what you've been through. According to a report from the experts, almost 90% of all teenagers or young adults will experience acne problems while they're on their adolescents stage. Young adults will no longer feel bad when have acne problems, thanks to the advanced technology, there are several acne treatments, nowadays. These treatments include microdermabrasion, Laser Acne treatment, peels, and various special acne lines of products that work effectively. Keep reading to learn more about different acne treatments.
What is Acne and its Causes?
Acne Vulgaris, known as Acne, is a skin ailment that implicates the oil glands at the base of hair follicles (a small secretory sac, or gland). It takes place usually during adolescence when the sebaceous (oil) glands come to life which are stimulated by male hormones produced by both male and female adrenal glands. According to experts, the essential cause of acne is an increase in androgen levels that usually happens when a person reaches the adolescence stage. Increasing androgen levels make the oil glands under your skin develop, causing the enlarged gland to produce more oil.
It is not caused by eating greasy foods or chocolate, or because of poor hygiene. Instead, it develops when the skin's sebaceous glands make excessive oil, or sebum. The sebum carries dead skin cells through the follicles to the surface of the skin. Human skin has pores which link to oil glands found under the skin. The glands are connected to the pores through follicles. A small hair develops through the follicle out of the skin. When these follicles get blocked, it will accumulate the oil under the skin, that will allow pimples to grow. Pimples likely to come out on the face, back, neck, chest, and shoulders.
What are the Best Acne Treatments?
Acne is treated depending on how severe and persistent the condition is.
What are Laser Acne Treatments and Peels?
Laser Acne Treatment is one of the best treatments for acne problem. It is beneficial to anyone who is suffering with mild to moderate inflammatory acne that is caused by the P. Acnes bacteria. These lasers are approved by the FDA for treating any type of skin, causing a very rare instances for scars or burns to occur. Patients report great success of removing unpleasant acne scars with these laser acne treatments. Laser Acne Treatments do not necessarily have any recovery time because most patients usually return to their daily routines and activities the same day after the treatment.
Microdermabrasion and peels are also great in treating acne. Usually, doctors recommend one or the other approach or a combination of treatments depending on how severe and persistent the acne is.
What are the most common areas for acne treatment?
The most common areas for acne treatment are the chest, back, face and shoulders, but any part of the body where acne grows can have the needed treatment.
How many treatments are needed in treating acne?
Generally, patients would need 2-3 treatments to get rid of acne and require 4-6 treatments to considerably lighten the acne scar and have them vanish essentially. These treatments are given separately, about 3 – 6 weeks apart. Laser Acne treatments don't take long and normally it would only take 45 to 60 minutes.
What Line of skincare Products to consider?
You can also consider using great line of skincare products like creams in treating acne and acne scars. The combination of Salicylic and glycolic acid is used to allow exceptional exfoliation and a shed of dead skin cells. This line of creams help in the stimulation of the top layer of the skin to peel while renewing a normal skin replacements cycle and discharging cells that blocks the oil flow. There are also antibacterial skin care products for treating acne. Benzoyl peroxide acts as a peeling agent. It increases skin turnover that clears the pores and reduces the bacterial count (specifically P. acnes) and also works as an antimicrobial. Benzoyl peroxide for acne treatment is normally applied to the affected areas in a form gel or cream, with a concentrations of 2.5% up to 5%, and can go up to 10%. Research recommends that 5% and 10% concentrations are somewhat gives more impressive results than 2.5%, while 2.5% is generally allowed and preferred than the 10% concentration.

text: RALEIGH, N. Cheap Nike Soccer Jerseys .C. -- Chris Thorburn thinks one of the reasons the Winnipeg Jets have been successful under new coach Paul Maurice is that theyre playing together as a team. Demonstrating that newfound sense of camaraderie, Jets players wanted to win Tuesday nights game against Carolina in part because Maurice coached 920 games for the Hurricanes franchise. "We all understand his past and what he meant to this organization as far as the Hurricanes," Thorburn said. "We were playing for him as well as the two points." Winnipeg accomplished both goals when Thorburn scored the tiebreaker with 1:03 remaining to lift the Jets to a 2-1 win over the Hurricanes. It was Thorburns second goal of the season. Andrew Ladd also scored for the Jets, who are 9-2-0 since Maurice took over as coach on Jan. 12. Despite his players sentiments, Maurice said the game had no special significance for him. "This isnt my first tour through here, but we all care about each other in there, so Im taking it," he said. Winnipeg took the lead when Jacob Trouba circled around the net and sent the puck across the crease to Thorburn, who knocked it past goalie Anton Khudobin. "Great confidence in a young man to want to make the play that decides the game," Maurice said of Trouba, the young defenceman who asserted himself on the game-winner. "Not sit back and not want to make a mistake -- he wants the puck on his stick." Ondrej Pavelec made 28 saves for the Jets. Riley Nash scored for Carolina, and Khudobin made 25 saves. The Hurricanes went 10-4-0 in January and had won five of six, but their offence sputtered in this tight-checking game. "Two mistakes cost us two goals tonight," coach Kirk Muller said. "But overall, I thought our guys played hard and competed and skated and did a lot of good things -- just not the outcome we wanted." Winnipeg opened the scoring 12:57 into the second period when Michael Frolik skated past Carolina defenceman Justin Faulk on a rush down the left wing. Khudobin stopped Froliks shot, but Ladd batted the rebound into the net. Ladd, who has seven points in his last six games, was a member of the Hurricanes when they won the Stanley Cup in 2006. "Its always fun to score against your former team," Ladd said. "I get up for these games. You always have a little chip on your shoulder for a team thats traded you away." The Jets got a boost when they killed off a 51-second two-man advantage for the Hurricanes late in the second period. Carolinas John-Michael Liles hit the post with a slap shot during that stretch. Carolina tied it at 1 early in the third period. After the Hurricanes skated into the zone, Drayson Bowman tried to control the puck in the slot. Bowman couldnt get his stick on it, but the puck came to Nash, who snapped it past Pavelec. NOTES: Carolina began the night having played the fewest games in the NHL. ... Winnipeg entered having played 32 one-goal games this season, third-most in the league.

She was joined at 10-under-par 350 by Minjee Lee, who closed with a 73. Alison Lee, who entered the event as an amateur, but turned professional after earning her tour card, has made the cut in three of her five previous LPGA Tour starts. Minjee Lee made the cut at three of the four majors she played in this season. I have a lot of mixed emotions. When I made my par putt and realized I got my LPGA Tour card, I was just filled with joy and when I got off and thought about what it meant to be professional, I thought about my team and my school and my coaches and it made me sad, admitted Alison Lee. I get to start a new chapter in my life and hopefully it will be great and Im really looking forward to the future. After play rotated between the Arthur Hills Course and the Rees Jones Course at LPGA International the first four rounds, the final round was contested on the Jones Course.

After all three players parred the seventh, eighth and ninth playoff holes, Grice made bogey on the 10th extra hole to drop from the playoff. Karlin Beck chipped in for birdie on the 11th playoff hole to claim the final spot in category 12. Concolino, Yang, Grice and Meadow along with the 21 players that finished between 3-under 357 and 1-over 361 will have category 17 status for 2015.

Minjee Lee started with seven straight pars. She traded a birdie for a bogey from the eighth. Around the turn, Lee birdied the 13th, but later bogeyed the 16th and 17th to slip back to minus-10. Now that Im officially part of the LPGA Tour I feel really good. I am relieved that I am finished and I am excited to play next year on the tour, said Minjee Lee, who turned professional prior to her tie for 16th at the Evian Championship. I am definitely relieved after this week and I never want to do Q-School again. NOTES: Cheyenne Woods is Tiger Woods niece ...

EDITORIAL: Stockman must identify any Bitcoin donors
If U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman wants to solicit donations for his quixotic Senate campaign in Bitcoins, that's fine - as long as the donors are identified. Something that basic should be understood, but Stockman has a history of not complying with campaign regulations or being accountable to voters.
Bitcoins are digital currency with no fixed value, and it's not clear if they can be legally donated for political campaigns. Although the ledger of Bitcoin transactions is public, the currency itself is not connected to anyone's identity. That makes their accountability for political donors an issue. Yet Stockman says he has more confidence in Bitcoins' value because he said, " ... they're printing so much (money), the currency will become worthless."
We'll see. But the Federal Election Commission should clarify whether Bitcoins can be used in this year's campaigns. If they can, they should have the same reporting requirements as regular currency.

Happy New Year!
I hope that the year has been good to you as it has been to me. It's been a long road to get to where I am now and with the experience of working at a major international organisation has given me the skills to face up to whatever comes next.
A friend recently asked what was happening with my blog and why haven't I updated it more frequently. So with that in mind I have decided to pick my blog up and give it a new lease of life.
For my first post I thought I would share some work I have had saved on my computer as inspiration for a while…
There are many poster examples floating on the web, some showcase a particular idea, many visualize trends that designers follow. Some posters do nothing but make me wish I had come up with the idea first. I often end up looking at work thinking to myself that although it's a simple concept how comes my brain couldn't rack up an idea like the one in front of me.
There is no shortage of inspirational work found on the web, but some of the posters in this post highlight the skills of some designers that I have found across the web. Posters need to be able to convey the message that they were created to. There is no point in create a magnificent piece of art if it doesn't reach the potential and the audience that it was created for.
I find these posters to be some of the best that I have seen online and in no particular order I present them to you

Veracruz, Mexico — Andrés Izquierdo Velázquez, inspector general of the legal area of the Federal Police of Mexico in Jalisco, was assassinated in the state of Veracruz, security sources reported today.
Police reports indicate that the body was located on the side of the federal highway La Tinaja-Cosoleacaque in southern Veracruz. According to reports, the body showed signs of torture and was bound hand and foot when discovered.
Next to his body was a message accusing the police officer of being an envoy of the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel to open the way for that criminal group in Veracruz.
The first investigations indicate that Izquierdo was visiting a relative.
In June of 2017, the commissioner of the Federal Police, Juan Camilo Castagné and an inspector general of the same corporation were assassinated in Veracruz. Both were attacked by an armed group while they ate at a restaurant in Ciudad Cardel in the municipality of La Antigua.
In the last decade, Veracruz has been mired in a spiral of violence related to the struggle between drug cartels.

In 2007, I graduated college and got my first job.
About a year and a half later the president of the company and his team, including my boss the CMO, called everyone together and announced layoffs.
Welcome to the workforce…
But I look back on that moment as a key moment in my life. It made me realize that there are no guarantees in life. Especially with a job.
I had always had the itch to start a business. Every since I was a kid. Lemonade stands. Mowing lawns. I always enjoyed doing the things that went along with business.
At the time of those layoffs I was working on some kind of hunting website. That didn't work out. But I also started blogging and from that GBW grew.
As I was starting GBW I always thought of it was something that could be there in case I did lose my job. I figured if no job was safe at least I would take control of what I could control. I could focus on building a business of my own or at least building skills that would set me apart.
Not many people like writing and blogging. But we like reading and consuming content. So writing, and writers, are valuable.
Anyway, if you still have a job it's still okay to prepare to start a business.
And if you've just lost a job then this post is for you too. Here are some checkpoints to go through if you want to start a business.
Is A Business Right For You
I think about the change in the idea of starting a business these days. It's almost like it's a cool thing to do or to at least talk about doing.
In 2007, I was in the Entrepreneur Program at my college. There were 12 kids. 12 kids out of 10,000 wanted to be entrepreneurs. It was not cool.
I think back to when one of my uncles started his own business in 1974. I can't even imagine how uncool it was to think about being an entrepreneur back then.
But now there is a coolness factor to the idea. It's okay if you do start a business. Others don't look at you as crazy. At least not as much in the past.
That's great, but it's also a little scary.
Many people are in love with the idea of starting and running a business, but the actual work and stress aren't a good fit for them.
I like when a potential client tells me no.
I like when a current client all of sudden stops paying their bills.
I like not knowing that I'm living on the edge of paying all the bills.
Okay, maybe I don't like those things, but I do like the challenge. I like the day-to-day of it. And that's the reality. You spend a lot of time in the mud when you're running a business.
Yes, there are times when you're thinking big picture. That's important actually. But it's not all big picture. It's everything.
And it takes patience. Extreme patience. Even if you look at the Inc. 5000 every year you'll see businesses that have been around for 5, 10 or even 20 years before they started "growing fast".
Look into your brain. Determine if you like the idea of the work that goes into a business or just the idea of owning a business.
Look For Frustration
Let's say you determine that you like the work. You're excited about the work that goes into running a business. Not just telling people that you have a business or that you're a founder.
In that entrepreneur program one of our tasks was to come up with ideas everyday for businesses.
We filled notebooks…with bad business ideas.
My mistake was that I was always trying to come up with cool business ideas. Website ideas. Then app ideas. all kinds of dumb things.
Most businesses aren't cool. Maybe one out of a hundred thousand?
Businesses are born from frustration. It could be your own frustration. It could be the frustration you see from others.
That's where GBW came from.
I saw two people that couldn't keep their business blogs maintained. So I stepped in and filled that need.
I had no "idea" to start a blogging services business, but that's how it worked out.
Your idea, if you are open to it, will probably come the same way.
Look For Boring & Existing
And you don't have to make some big breakthrough with your business idea. There are plenty of great businesses that you can get into.
You can copy what someone else is doing and add your own touches.
Maybe you called the plumber for a leak in your bathroom tub. You were really frustrated because they came out three times. Each guy didn't have the details from the previous guy. It was a mess. Nothing was getting fixed.
Plumbing is boring, but it's very much needed. And in your area there is probably a need for a service that is very organized and professional. Reliable. All hours of the day.
When you see those frustrations and vulnerabilities in a boring business then there is big opportunity.
Look For Your Strengths
Being self aware is a key to life. Do you know what your strengths and weaknesses are?
For me a weakness was talking. But I'm great at written communication. Or at least pretty good. So I went all in on the written thing and here we are with Ghost Blog Writers.
Heck, we even have a remote team and we rarely talk by voice. All email. I do talk with customers once in awhile, but the business very much reflects me and my strengths.
Others may be better with voice, but it's not my strength. I doubled down on text and it's made things pretty efficient, which is good for us and for our customers.
Run The Simple Numbers
This is a step that's often overlooked in business.
Let's say you have an idea to sell a new product on Amazon or in retail stores. There's a lot that goes into selling a product like that.
Running the numbers would make you realize quickly that there might not be a lot of money to make.
Let's take selling on Etsy as an example. You want to create watercolors and sell the prints on Etsy.
You price that at $10. How many do you have to sell $1 million?
100,000 prints.
You might be lucky to sell 5 the first month. And the second. Maybe 1,000 in the first year. Maybe.
Run the numbers on how much you can sell something for. Then run the costs on what goes into it. It's a simple exercise that is often skipped in starting a business.
Get A Job To Cover The Basics
Most businesses don't make money right away. It's possible, but don't count on it.
Some might tell you to go all in with a business. That might work. The pressure would be there to push you to get it done.
But get a job to cover the basics. Something that doesn't take too much effort and brain work. Just something that takes 8 hours a day or whatever to cover the basics.
Then come home and work another 6-8 hours and sleep the other 6-8 hours.
Really cut back to the basics. It's amazing how little we can live off of even if we have a family.
Remember The Patience
Big one here.
You might get that job to cover the basics. It might be tough for your family. That could get you to fall into the trap of the short-term. Where you're making business decisions because you feel the short-term pressure.
But that's where patience is key. It takes patience to look 10, 20 or even 50 years down the road with your business. You have to make almost every business decision with the long-term outlook.
Starting a business is definitely an option if you lose your job. Or if you think you may lose your job in the future. But there are some things to run through before you get yourself into a bad situation. It's not for everyone. And that's okay. You can make a great living at a lot of jobs. Maybe it's intrapreneurship that's for you.
But hopefully the thoughts above will help you if you do want to start your business.

Pirates and waves sink epic PWC voyage
London to Auckland PWC voyage ends with airlift rescue from Greek Air Force
An epic trans-global PWC voyage from London to Auckland has ended with a trio of adventurers being airlifted to safety by the Greek Air Force. In a bitter end to their courageous plans, Kiwis Jeremy Burfoot and Travis Donohoe, along with Croatian Ivan Otulic, had already called off their world record PWC distance attempt due to concerns over damage to their PWCs and the risk of piracy off the coast of Yemen — they were heading across the Aegean Sea for Croatia to return the three modified Sea-Doos when they began taking on water during a savage storm. On August 31, Burfoot, a 747 pilot and experienced PWC rider, made the decision to trigger his personal locator beacon, which led to the team's rescue.
Billed as the "Ultimate Ride" the men had intended to ride their PWCs some 32,000km from London to Auckland — smashing the current PWC distance record of 18,400km and raising vital funds for cancer research along the way. In 2006 Burfoot, a cancer survivor himself, was the first man to circumnavigate New Zealand on a PWC.
However, this latest venture seemed beset with difficulties from the beginning, with an initial trial in England's Thames Estuary resulting in the men being stranded on mud flats and requiring assistance from the British Coastguard.
They made their departure proper on August 1, making a nine-hour slog across the North Sea to Rotterdam, Holland, before navigating a multitude of rivers, canals and locks to the Black Sea. They then headed through the Dardanelles and into the Mediterranean.
However, the men decided to end their run after several instances of foul weather mercilessly punished both them and their craft. "Even though Sea-Doo is still the best PWC brand in the world, these PWCs are not designed to take the continuous punishment we have subjected them to with our hectic schedule," wrote Burfoot in his blog on August 29. "Also, due to a rise in tensions in Yemen the NZ Department of Foreign Affairs has strenuously warned us not to proceed south of Egypt unattended. The risk of terrorist and pirate attacks in Yemen has risen to an unacceptable level and we would be a prime target. We all have families and it would be unfair to put their futures at risk for an adventure, even with such a good cause," he continued.
It was on the trio's return run across the Aegean Sea that they were struck by the storm that ultimately led to Burfoot triggering his rescue beacon, where they were then collected by a rescue team. "No PWC is designed for hours and hours of that sort of punishment," Burfoot said later. "The GME beacons were life savers," he added.
According to Burfoot's blog, the men plan to continue their mission "to promote healthy living and early detection of cancer by other means".
