I included some designed stuff as well including a few UI bits, some pitched impacts, weird alien bug wings and various other bits and bobs. Recorded at 96Khz/24 Bit and processed in Reaper and RX.

The "Cedar" library series is a collection of libraries, comprised of three different instruments:
– Ponticello (the present one)
– Sul Tasto
– Bizzarro
Each volume is a single Kontakt instrument with a peculiar timbral personality. The entire series is created recording sounds from a luthier classical guitar. They can be used for composing and producing purposes – like an acoustic percussion setup – as well as for soundtrack composition and sound design in films, video games and any other multimedia product. "Ponticello" and "Sul Tasto" also feature a dedicated effects page that can be used to process the sounds in the library with several processors, both send and insert effects. They are "percussion oriented" sounds, while "Bizzarro" is a keyboard instrument.
Introduction to "Ponticello"
The instrument contains 10 sets of sounds, called "Engines". Each set has a dedicated channel strip in the interface and can be processed with a dedicated sub-page. You can also choose an individual audio output for further processing in your favorite DAW with effect plugins of your choice. Each sound has been recorded with two different mic placements, and you can mix them to your taste.
Expand your sonic arsenal with this collection of pony whinnies, nickers and blows. 24bit, 96kHz reflection-free recordings means they're great for creature sound design.

With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.
A Sound Effect is a great asset to have discovered.
We found the site very easy to navigate, purchasing and downloads were effortless and the effects themselves are awesome! Asbjoern has done us all a great service.
We'll definitely be back!
There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.

Sunshine Coast Council is partnering with corporate partners to deliver an Australian-first free well being program to small and medium-sized businesses.
Council launched the B-Well and Prosper online portal that connects small business owners and their employees to information on how to establish healthy workplaces, looking after yourself, stress in the workplace – including cash flow stress, and how to manage signs of employee burn out.
Sunshine Coast's Economic Development and Innovation Councillor Cr Stephen Robinson said the online portal was available free to businesses by registering at bwell.mindstar.com.au The portal includes a workplace well being toolkit designed to proactively manage common workplace stresses and address emerging issues.
"Smaller business owners often don't have the budget to invest in stress, well being and mental health support for themselves or their employees and can feel like they are doing it all on their own," Cr Robinson said.
"Council is proud to be working alongside local well being expert Aaron Williams, founder of Mindstar, and corporate partners to deliver an introductory small business support portal that provides business advice as well as well being support and strategies to support business owners, their staff and our region to B-Well and Prosper.
"This is an important first-step to provide support to our local business community and to connect them to further resources if they want to seek additional guidance.
"Local businesses are the lifeblood of this region and through the Regional Economic Development Strategy, we offer a range of programs to support them, through B-Well, we aim to have the healthiest business community in the nation.
"Running your own business can be hugely rewarding, but for many small and medium-sized business owners, having sole responsibility for the business's success or failure can take its toll.
"We want to help people prosper in our healthy, smart, creative region.
"This portal can be accessed anytime to access free business advice, health tips, wellness ideas, hear other people's stories and connect with others in the business community. I encourage all business owners to download the free Workplace Well being Toolkit."
Sunshine Coast resident Bronwyn Delaivuna shared her story via video on the B-Well portal about how she experienced first-hand the struggle of balancing work and life priorities.
"I wish there was something like the B-Well and Prosper program in place when I was struggling in my previous business. When I start my next business the B-Well and Prosper portal will be a part of my business plan," Mrs Delaivuna said.
In addition to free online tools, Sunshine Coast small business owners can access referral services and other Council business support programs.
Mr Williams said people wanted quality, easy to access, confidential information and the ability to connect to professionals that they and their whole family can speak to when it is convenient to them.
"Together, we have produced an innovative, bespoke site that the coast's small businesses can use to access more than 35 hours off well being content – fact sheets and information, programs, a monthly digital newsletter, workshops, local fitness and well being groups and more," he said.
Businesses wanting to partner on the program to support small local business wellness can contact email@example.com

Turkish bus builder Karsan is cooperating with Dana Incorporated to feature Dana's TM4 SUMO MD electric motor and inverter in Karsan's ATAK electrified midibus.
The electrified bus is based on the Karsan ATAK eight-meter low-entry bus platform. The TM4 SUMO MD is composed of a high-torque, permanent magnet variable reluctance (PMVR) direct drive motor and automotive-grade power electronics. Both companies stresses that the new motor can deliver 45 percent more torque and operating speed than previous motors in the same compact package, while reducing cost. PMVR works by adding specially-designed soft magnetic composites (SMCs) next to the magnets. SMCs are produced through a new forming process and fabrication method by TM4. The SMCs also allows the use of simpler and smaller magnets that are easier to manufacture and that uses less rare-earth in the fabrication process to account for 25 percent savings in magnetic material.
According to Karsan this new bus platform is able to operate with a range of up to 300 kilometres on a single charge. Dana is also a key contributor in the development of the vehicle control software, through the supply of hardware and services related to its TM4 NEURO 200 vehicle control unit platform and SynApps development tool.
Karsan, a manufacturer of light commercial vehicles, shuttle buses, and city buses, introduced its first prototype electric minibus, the Karsan JEST, in 2016. Karsan was founded in 1966 as Karsan Otomotiv Sanayii ve Ticaret A.Ş. operated under the Koç Group between 1979 and 1998. Following Inan Kıraç's purchase of the majority shares in 1998, today the Company carries out its operations within the body of Kıraça Holding. Karsan also produces for Hyundai Motor Company's the H350 panel vans, minibuses, and chassis for pick-up trucks and Menarinibus branded buses under license.

St. Maximus the confessor著,前五十首
400 sayings about love (First 50)
1. Love is a good disposition of the soul by which one prefers no being to the knowledge 5 of God. It is impossible to reach the habit of this love if one has any attachment to earthly things.
2、對主的信賴,使我們升起敬畏之心。因為敬畏上帝,使我們成為心的主人;對心的主宰,使我們能夠以平靜心,忍受一切長久的磨難;平靜的安忍心,使我們升起希望;來自上帝的希望,使我們超然;超然的神態,讓我們擁有愛6 。
2. Love is begotten of detachment, 6 detachment of hope in God, hope of patient endurance and long-suffering, these of general self-mastery, self-mastery of fear of God, and fear of faith in the Lord.
3. The one who believes the Lord fears punishment; the one who fears punishment becomes master of his passions; the one who becomes master of his passions patiently endures tribulations; the one who patiently endures tribulations will have hope in God; hope in God separates from every earthly attachment; and when the mind is separated from this it will have love for God. 7
4. The one who loves God prefers knowledge of him to all things made by him and is constantly devoted to it by desire.
5. If all things have been made by God and for his sake, then God is better than what has been made by him. The one who forsakes the better and is engrossed in inferior things shows that he prefers the things made by God to God himself.
6. The one who has his mind fixed on the love of God disdains all visible things and even his own body as alien. 8
7. If the soul is better than the body and
God incomparably better than the world which he created, the one who prefers the body to the soul and the world to the God who created it is no different from idolaters.
8. The one who separates his mind from love and devotedness toward God and keeps it tied to any sensible thing is the one who prefers the body to the soul and things that are made to God their Creator.
9. If the life of the mind is the illumination of knowledge and this is born of love for God, then it is well said that there is nothing greater than love. 9
10. When in the full ardor of its love 10 for God the mind goes out of itself, then it has no perception at all either of itself or of any creatures. For once illumined by the divine and infinite light, it remains insensible to anything that is made by him, just as the physical eye has no sensation of the stars when the sun has risen.
11. All the virtues assist the mind in the pursuit of divine love, but above all does pure prayer. By it the mind is given wings to go ahead to God and becomes alien to all things.
12. When through love the mind is ravished by divine knowledge and in going outside of creatures has a perception of divine transcendence, 11 then, according to the divine Isaiah, it comes in consternation to a realization of its own lowliness and says with conviction the words of the prophet:
Woe is me for I am stricken at heart; because being a man having unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a people with unclean lips and I have seen with my eyes the King, the Lord of hosts. 12
13. The one who loves God cannot help but love also every man as himself even though he is displeased by the passions of those who are not yet purified. Thus when he sees their conversion and amendment, he rejoices with an unbounded and unspeakable joy.
14. The passionate soul is impure, filled with thoughts of lust and hatred.
15. The one who sees a trace of hatred in his own heart through any fault at all toward any man whoever he may be makes himself completely foreign to the love for God, because love for God in no way admits of hatred for man.
16、我們的主說:「愛我的人,就會遵守我的誡命。」又說:「我的誡命就是愛人如己。」13 因此,一個人如果不愛身邊所有人,就沒有遵守上帝的誡命。而一個沒有遵守上帝的誡命的人,就沒有能力愛上帝,我們的主。」
16. "The one who loves me," says the Lord, "will keep my commandments" and "this is my commandment, that you love one another." 13 Therefore the one who does not love his neighbor is not keeping the commandment, and the one who does not keep the commandment is not able to love the Lord.
17. Blessed is the man who has learnt to love all men equally. 14
18. Blessed is the man who is not attached to any corruptible or transitory thing.
19. Blessed is the mind which has gone beyond all beings and takes unceasing delight in the divine beauty.
20、如果一個人總是為了肉身欲望的滿足做打算15,而且,常常為了短暫的利益而埋怨、嫉妒身邊的人 ——– 這樣的人是在為受造物效勞,而不是為造物主效勞。16
20. The one who makes provision for the desires of the flesh 15 and bears a grudge against his neighbor for transitory things—such a man serves the creature rather than the Creator. 16
21. The one who keeps his body away from pleasure and sickness keeps it as a fellow worker in the service of better things.
22. The one who flees all the world's desires puts himself beyond every worldly grief.
23. The one who loves God surely loves his neighbor as well. Such a person cannot hold on to money but rather gives it out in God's fashion to each one who has need. 17
24. The one (who imitates God by giving alms) knows no difference between evil and good or just and unjust in regard to the needs of the body, but distributes to all without distinction according to their need even if he prefers the virtuous person over the wicked because of his good intention. 18
25. Just as God who is by nature good and free of passion loves all in an equal way as his creatures but glorifies the virtuous man for having become his friend through his intention and has mercy on the wicked out of his goodness and converts him by chastening him in this life, so also does the one who is good and without passion through his intention love equally all men—the virtuous because of his nature and good will and likewise the wicked because of his nature and compassion by which he pities one who is foolish and makes his way in darkness.
26. The disposition of love is made manifest not only in the sharing of money but much more in sharing the word of God and physical service.
27. The one who has genuinely renounced worldly matters and serves his neighbor without pretense through love soon frees himself of all passion and is rendered a sharer of divine love and knowledge.
28. The one who has acquired divine love in himself does not grow weary of closely following after the Lord his God, as the divine Jeremiah 19 says; rather he endures nobly every reproachful hardship and outrage without thinking any evil of anyone.
29. When you are insulted by someone or offended in any matter, then beware of angry thoughts, lest by distress they sever you from charity and place you in the region of hatred.
30. Whenever you are suffering intensely from insult or disgrace, realize that this can be of great benefit to you, for disgrace is God's way of driving vainglory out of you.
31. As the memory of fire does not warm the body, so faith without love does not bring about the illumination of knowledge in the soul.
32. As the light of the sun attracts the healthy eye, so does the knowledge of God draw the pure mind to itself naturally through love.
33. The mind is pure when it is removed from ignorance and illuminated by divine light.
34. The soul is pure when it has been freed from the passions 20 and rejoices unceasingly in divine love.
35. A blameworthy passion is a movement of the soul contrary to nature. 21
36. Detachment is a peaceful state of the soul in which it becomes resistant to vice.
37. The one who has zealously acquired the fruits of love does not change from it even though he experiences countless ills. And let Stephen, Christ's disciple, and those like him, persuade you, as well as Christ himself who prays for his murderers and asks forgiveness of his Father as for those acting in ignorance. 22
38. If it is a mark of love to be patient and kind, 23 the one who acts contentiously愛爭吵的 or wickedly clearly makes himself a stranger to love, and the one who is a stranger to love is a stranger to God, since "God is love." 24
39. Do not say, as the divine Jeremiah tells us, that you are the Lord's temple. 25 And do not say that "mere faith in our Lord Jesus Christ can save me." For this is impossible unless you acquire love for him through works. For in what concerns mere believing, "even the devils believe and tremble." 26
40. The work of love is the deliberate doing of good to one's neighbor as well as long-suffering and patience and the use of all things in the proper way.
41. The one who loves God is not sad nor does he grieve anyone because of any passing thing. Only one salutary sadness makes him sad and grieves others, the one which the blessed Paul had and with which he grieved the Corinthians. 27
42. The one who loves God leads an angelic life on earth, fasting and being watchful and singing psalms and praying and always thinking good of everyone. 28
43. If anyone desires anything, he naturally strives to obtain it. Now the divine is incomparably better and more desirable than all good and desirable things. What great zeal, then, should we show to obtain what is good and desirable by nature! 29
44. Do not stain your flesh with indecent actions; do not defile your soul with evil thoughts; and God's peace will come upon you and bring love.
45. Afflict your flesh with fasting and vigils. Devote yourself diligently to psalmody and prayer, and holiness in chastity will come upon you and bring love.
46. The one who is deemed worthy of divine knowledge and who through love has attained its illumination will never be blown about by the spirit of vainglory. But the one who is not yet deemed worthy of divine knowledge is easily carried to and fro by it. If such a one, then, should look to God in everything that he does, as doing everything for his sake, he will easily escape it with God.
47. The one who has not yet obtained divine knowledge activated by love makes a lot of the religious works he performs. But the one who has been deemed worthy to obtain this says with conviction the words which the patriarch Abraham spoke when he was graced with the divine appearance, "I am but earth and ashes." 30
48. The one who fears the Lord always has humility as his companion and through its promptings is led to divine love and thanksgiving. For he recalls his former worldly life and different transgressions and the temptations bedeviling him from his youth, and how the Lord delivered him from all these things and made him pass from this life of passion to a divine life. And so with fear he receives love as well, ever thankful with deep humility to the benefactor and pilot of our life.
49. Do not soil your mind by holding on to thoughts of concupiscence and anger, lest by falling from pure prayer you fall in with the spirit of discouragement. 31
50. The mind falls from familiarity 32 with God whenever it consorts with wicked and foul thoughts.

An Open Innovation Business Model Commerce Essay
An Open Innovation Business Model Commerce Essay It is very important to know what innovation is before we can further proceed in answering the question. An innovation is a product or service with a bundle of features that is new in the market, or that is commercialized in some new way that opens up new uses and consumer groups for it. Innovation is invention implemented and taken to market (Chesbrough 2003). Invention however is the creation of something that was previously unknown (Chesbrough, Vanhaverbeke et al. 2006). In summary, INNOVATION= INVENTION+COMMERCIALIZATION. Today companies who, want to deliver consistent organic growth to their shareholders, customers, and their employees can do that only through innovation (Chesbrough 2006). So what is Open Innovation? Illustration 1: Concept of open innovation Open innovation is the use of purposive inflows and outflows of knowledge to accelerate internal innovation, and expand the markets for external use of innovation, respectively. [This paradigm] assumes that firms can and should use external ideas as well as internal ideas, and internal and external paths to market, as they look to advance their technology. (Henry Chesbrough, Open Innovation: Researching a New Paradigm). As mentioned by Chesbrough, there are a total of 5 paths to Open Innovation. Firstly, the old fashion model. It work like a fortress, the firm will take ideas internally to market. This path works the same as a closed innovation concept. The second path would be opening up the abilities for others. This can be achieved by bringing in ideas internally; ideas that does not fit into the firm business but might be useful for others. The third path would be acquiring ideas externally. Ideas are everywhere; firms can acquire ideas from university, individuals, start-up companies and etc. They can then come out with new opportunities and solutions using these acquired knowledge by taking them to a new market; a market that the firm might not have gotten into. The forth path would be to bring in external technologies and ideas to fill the gap that the firm might be facing problem with. Without open innovation, companies might need to use more resources to fill the gap. Lastly, an internal project that does not look promising until a certain level of development can be taken out and allow the team to continue working on it outside. This process can help to raise new money, acquire new customer and hire new employees (Specialist) to further develop the project. At certain point, if it seems feasible and viable, firms have the option to bring the project back if it turns out to be strategically interesting. The 5 paths are very important in helping use to understand why firms are moving towards the open innovation business model. The opposite of Open Innovation-The Closed Innovation In order to understand Open Innovation better, we will need to know the opposite of it- the Closed Innovation. In short, Close Innovation is a paradigm that successful innovation requires control and ownership of the Intellectual property (IP). A company should have full control of everything that relates to ideas. Some companies therefore decided to run their own research and development (RD) units. The entire new product development cycle was then incorporated within the company where innovation was done in a closed and self-supporting way (Wikipedia). It has always been the case whereby internal Research and Development (RD) was regarded as a strategic asset and it creates barrier to competitive entry in many industries. Only bigger firms with substantial resources and long-term research programs are capable to compete within their respective industries. This eventually led to higher profit margin as well. Competitors had to start their own laboratories using their own resources in order to compete. Therefore firms invested heavily in internal RD, which eventually led them to breakthrough innovation that enabled them to create new products and services to generate more revenue and profit margins (Chesbrough 2003). Therefore the protection of intellectual property in a closed innovation paradigm is very tight. It is so tight that firms will store their technologies until they are ready to use it. In the meantime, firms will also minimize or rather ensure zero leakages incident of information that relate to the technology. (Chesbrough 2003) Differences between closed and open innovation Table 1: Open Innovation Principles, Source: H. Chesbrough (2003) One major difference between closed and open innovation are how firms filter their ideas. In any RD process, researchers must separate the bad proposal from the good ones and eventually only the good proposal will be commercialised and the bad ones will be discarded. Both open and closed model can remove false positives (that is bad ideas that initially look promising), but open innovation can revived these false positive and false negatives (ideas that initially seem to lack promise but turn out to be surprisingly valuable) to recoup losses incurred during the RD process. A classic example will be Xerox and Palo Alto Research Centre (PARC). Researcher there developed many breakthrough technologies such as Ethernet and Graphical User Interface (GUI). However Xerox main focus is on high speed printer and copier, hence these technologies were not viewed as promising by the firm. This is what we call false negative. GUI was eventually used by APPLE in Macintosh operating system and Micr osoft in Windows operating system respectively. Why open innovation? Today, in many industries, the traditional logic of supporting an internally oriented, centralized approach to RD has become obsolete. Ideas must be used with alacrity as useful information and knowledge can be obtained easily. A firms ability to exploit external knowledge is a critical component of innovative capabilities (Cohen and Levinthal 1990) instead of exploiting only internal knowledge. In short, firms that can integrate external ideas to advance their own businesses while leveraging their internal ideas outside their current operations will likely thrive in this new era of open innovation. As time passed by, Closed innovation model begin to obsolete fundamentally and ultimately eroded. This eventually led to closed innovation giving place to open innovation paradigm (Chesbrough 2003). Increase in availability and mobility of skilled workers encourage firms to go into an open innovation business model. This is because the labour market is linked to the market of know-how (Teece 2000), these labors are likely to be lured by better compensation package which will then led to information leakages. This makes the labour market highly mobile which encourage companies to shift from a closed innovation model to an open innovation model. Also, ideas can no longer be stored on the shelf anymore. Failure to utilize own technologies might result in firms seeing their own technologies ended up being exploited by other firms. This is due to a widespread of knowledge pool among companies, customer, suppliers and other parties. Hence the closed innovation business model is once again proven to be less useful to many firms. Rising development costs and shorter product life-cycles has resulted in firms finding it increasingly difficult to justify investments in innovation (Chesbrough 2007). This actually made the open innovation model important. It is very important for firms to process knowledge at a faster pace to prevent worker and venture capitalist to steal their ideas. It is not surprising at all that external suppliers offer better quality work of what a company can achieve internally (Chesbrough 2003). Hence, in today context, most of the bigger firms actually engage the services of external suppliers so that they can apply their investment to cover more areas in less time. However it is important to note that this allows other firms to move faster and cover new markets as well. An example of this would be Samsung and Apple. Apples A5 chip is built by Samsung à ¢Ã¢â ¬Ã ½, the processor that powers Apples iPhone 4S and iPad 2 is being manufactured in Texas by rival Samsung. As mentioned earlier in this essay that a company such as XEROX that is too focus internally (closed innovation approach) will eventually miss out numerous opportunities because many will fall outside the firms current businesses or will need to be integrated with external technologies to unleash their full potential. As RD functions are organised as separate function within organisations, there bound to have some technologies that are under- or unutilised. These ideas are kept on the shelf of the knowledge bank until downstream business is ready and willing to use them (Chesbrough 2003). Firms will do well if they are able to make full use of extensive technologies (Chesbrough, Vanhaverbeke et. al. 2006). Its also possible to innovate with discoveries of others (Chesbrough 2003). Firms can leverage on external knowledge instead of ignoring it and pursuing only internal RD (Chesbrough 2003). Valuable ideas come from inside or outside the company and can go to market from inside or outside the company as well (Chesbrough 2003). Both external and internal ideas are equally important. Firms can focus on a particular area without having to do everything (Chesbrough 2003). Therefore Open Innovation offers lower costs for innovation, faster times to market, and risk sharing with others. (Chesbrough 2006). Open innovation does not mean that internal RD must be removed from a firms RD process. A firm can achieve additional benefits when implementing internal RD in Open Innovation context as the internal RD can fill the gaps (leveraging on external) in what others are doing. Firms that adopt Open Innovation business model do not need to invent the most novel or best technologies and knowledge in order to thrive and lead in their respective industry. Firms just need to be sure that they are making the best use of internal and external knowledge in a timely manner and innovate to create new products or services. Smaller firms such as SMEs have more reasons to move towards the Open Innovation business model. This is because they have less internal RD capability, less market power which mean weaker ability to capture value and IP enforcement are often costly to them (Henry Chesbrough 2008). Markets that is too small for larger firms might be attractive for SMEs. Smaller firms are able to execute plans at a faster rate because there are less internal politics (Henry Chesbrough 2008). Eventually larger firms will value this collaboration with smaller firms and they will create platforms that seek supporting investment from SMEs and SMEs can expand globally at a lower cost. As for larger firms, the Open innovation business model plays an important role. Radical innovations were viewed as an approach to generate growth for large established company as they depend on breakthrough innovation to move to the next platform for growth. However larger firms are lacking of supportive infrastructure to enable breakthroughs to be commercialized. Open innovation model can aid firms in building this supportive infrastructure. Larger firms can then focus on building deeper core competencies. Example 1: Intel Firms can benefit from innovation even if they do not own the technologies they use. An example would be computer processor maker, Intel. Intel has been successful for years without conducting much basic research on its own. All development took place within existing production laboratories as Intel does not have any development facilities. However Intel decided to take a change at a later stage, three research laboratories with different focus in their respective areas were established later. In addition to that, Intel actively promotes linkages between its research laboratories and external research community. They held conferences, research forums and seminars in attempt to bring both internal and external researches together. (Chesbrough 2003) Strong connections between them and newly incorporated firms allow Intel to extend its business strategy by leveraging on the advantages that these start-ups possessed. Intel benefitted tremendously from this far-sighted approach with corporate venture capitalist. To sum up, Intel actually adopted the third and fourth path to Open Innovation as mentioned earlier in this essay. Their primary focus is on accessing and leveraging on external knowledge (Chesbrough 2003). Example 2: The rise of Adobe and fall of Metaphor Computer We all know that Adobe systems owe its success to their first product, the PostScript. Postscript created a new industry segment within personal computer industry, known as desktop publishing. This technology was initially developed within Xeroxs Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). Within PARC, what was then called Interpress was a means of allowing Xeroxs laser printers to print what was displayed on a Xerox Star workstation. This capability became known as WYSIWYG, or what you see is what you get. John Warnock and Charles Geschke, who both worked on this technology while at PARC, wanted to create a standard around Interpress. However, their management within Xerox resisted this, because they did not want to give away one of the primary differentiating features of the Star system. Extracted from Intelà ® Technology Journal. From the extract above, we can see that both John and Charles innovation does not look promising to PARC at that point of time. Eventually Hewlett Packard and Canon agreed to bundle in the Technology which was later labeled as PostScript as a standard item in their laser printers, while Apple agreed to support PostScript in its software. If back then PARC adopted an Open Innovation business model, they would have benefited. This is mentioned earlier on as the fifth path to Open Innovation business model. However HP, Canon and Apple benefited from the model as they have all taken the third and fourth approach to Open Innovation business model. And lastly Adobe uses the first and second approach, which eventually led them to success. Unlike Adobe, Metaphor chooses to adopt a closed innovation approach. Nothing was carved out and shared with other firms. Lack of third-party support eventually led them to their downfall. Conclusion As ideas and technologies become obsolete at a very fast pace (Chesbrough 2006) and many useful knowledge has been widely spread, open innovation is vital for firms as they can use external as well as internal ideas and paths to market as they look to advance their technology (Chesbrough 2003) while pursuing lower costs for innovation, faster times to market, and the chance to share risks with others (Chesbrough 2006). In order to thrive in this new era, firms must adopt an open innovation business model. However it is important to note that, closed innovation is still applicable to certain industry such as the Pharmaceutical industry. Open Innovation business model is merely an evolution of closed innovation as it consist partial traits of the latter. ******** The End ********

Thoughts on Philosophy
A number of important writers have addressed the topic "how to read a book." Because they themselves write books, their understanding of it is very helpful. Some have, but most of them don't fully focus on the preliminaries of selecting and committing to doing it. I raise this point because of my rediscovery of Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy. (Simon and Schuster, NY: 1972 [Copyright B. Russell, 1945, E.. Russell, 1972.])
This book, 895 pages, has been an opportunity to apply a useful way to read non-fiction books. When I choose a non-fiction book, (because its title has caught my attention) I first read the dust cover, to see what the seller considers most important or interesting. Then a look at the table of contents tells me how the book is organized, which topics are addressed and whether the writer has a more or less organized way of addressing them. The Index is next—non-fiction books without a good index are suspect for me because the index is a guide to major topics, vocabulary and the writer's focus.
Another reason to scan these parts is the get a sense of how the writer approaches the topic and major sub-topics. In addition, they provide an overview of the writer's vocabulary. Sometimes knowing the "key words" a writer uses gives us an overview of the book. Why is this important? Mainly because it is important to know the real main ideas in the book.
For example, I once read a book on a very complex topic—how we form ideas and create meanings. Because I know something about how memory works, I expected at least a few paragraphs on memory and association. However, the word association was NOT in the index, nor used in the text. Obviously, the authors had a reason NOT to use it. I deduced that it was because they did not want to address the processes of learning, memory and association. This was, for me, enlightening, and I read the book with much more appreciation of its careful precision than I would otherwise have done.
When reading books that provide a broad perspective on topics, it is useful, actually essential, to know "how the writer's views evolved and what points of view, personal biases, qualifiers and limitations are actually addressed by the author." In effect, "scanning before reading"is a way of, in advance, becoming aware of how your own (known) leanings, biases, experiences and perspective differ from those presented in the book.
For most students in both science and philosophy in most colleges during the past half-century, Bertrand Russell was a familiar name. Even today his writings are well-known. A recent biography, in pictures, was published and well received. Knowing the story of his life and the development of his views seems to me essential to understanding his thinking. The fact that The History of Western Philosophy was published in 1945—the last year of WII, should provide a major insight into the background of Russell's thought—and all the more so because we are reading or re-reading it in 2017.
What else might be useful? Knowing that Russell was a mathematician, philosopher and freethinker is important. He and Alfred North Whitehead wrote a book attempting to show that everything was in some way explainable by mathematics, but failed. This significantly affected his thought. However, near the end of his long life he said, "each day I become happier."
Some brief comments on Russell may be helpful for those who may have had little reason to pay much attention to his life, writings or impact on our world. He was an extremely important thinker of the 20th Century and deserves the respect he receives. My view of him is that when thinkers like Russell come upon students early he can overwhelm some of those looking for the "answer" to (often unexpressed) questions about "life" and "the universe."
My own approach, from early experiences with religion and at school and university has been NOT to read or listen with an "either-or" attitude. What is that? Some students adopt, very early, a sense that they already have, from their past experiences, enough data to be able to evaluate what is unfamiliar or new, and (this is the "flaw" in such thinking) accept or reject it fully insofar as it confirms or refutes what they currently think, and so must be true.
This is NOT skepticism but a kind of intellectual laziness based on emotional commitment rather than intelligent judgment. Our society encourages this kind of thinking in its political, economic, legal and social institutions and activities. That's why most schools do not develop thinkers and are not generally able to. Life choices are too often organized and presented to young people, children and teens without the explanations necessary to make reasonable judgments. Organized means, "once you decide among only these, you are committed." Presented means "decide NOW" or you will lose out. Both of these are convenient for parents, educators and the society—reducing costs, moving young people into work-related activities quickly, and most important keeping their questions about "life, existence, economics, politics, religion and ethics" at a minimum.
There are some valid reasons WHY societies function as they do. Unless there is order and reasonable behavior a society cannot remain stable or even survive for long. The recent history of our world attests to that. But if we believe that human life should be free and have meaning, and that Western democracy, flawed as it may be, has the promise of greater progress, history and philosophers can explain how that is possible.
Russell's story of the 2500 years of history makes it seem almost miraculous that philosophy—the love of wisdom—has been able to survive. And yet it has. One reason is the existence and survival of persons with minds like Russell and the thinkers he describes (and others he identifies and characterizes).
Philosophers help to open our minds in a way that is often uncomfortable, awkward and unfamiliar. But to be truly free we need to be fully aware of our own fears, desires, and biases, especially those we protect and shelter from questions, and also of the answers people like Russell present to us and our society.
The further posts will provide specific examples of Russell's history and the importance to us of these philosophers. Though most of them are NOT "truth," they are the basis of what we believe today. The ideas they created have evolved since the Greeks of 2500 years ago began to examine their lives, and we can learn much from their thinking about the meaning of their existence, and OURS as well.

You spot an exceptionally attractive girl resting by herself at a party casually sipping with a glass of wine. You think to be able to yourself She looks and so perfectly calm and also confident. However if you could read your ex mind you might you need to be amazed at what she has thinking. Meade 8 inch mounts Things like Why We are sitting here all alone How bouts we guys find us attractive I dont such as my ankles they appear too skinny. If only I were cleverer.
We look at a young successful enterprise entrepreneur and declare Wow hes already got. Whats he likely to do nowIn But he has concerns just like everyone else. He she thinks to themselves I wonder why my girlfriends wont talk to us. Why is it so hard to get a girl that is aware of business
Dont you think funny We look with other people envy their particular looks their financial situation and their confidence. We think they are perfect and desire we could trade spots with them. They look at us and think how they wish their life were less difficult and easier. It is so all to easy to become so active thinking about ourselves and just how bad things are that we lose hope in previously becoming better. Enabling ourselves get this considerably down is dangerous and counter-productive. Thinking about ourself also prevents all of us from helping people. Everyone no matter how profitable can always find ways to improve.
One answer to self improvement is to Hear and TALK to the best friend. Find someone that you are comfortable with and start evaluating your communication expertise with each other. Ask questions just like do you think I am ill-manneredIn . Do I always sound so argumentative Do I talk too loudIn Does my breath odor Do I at any time bore you while were togetherInch This is one way to work about improving your communication knowledge. The other person will definitely know that you are interested in improving. Be open to recommendations and be careful not to become defensive. Keep an open mind.
Before informing other people some ways in order to improve themselves allow them see that you continuously work on improving yourself. You should also emphasize how important you think it is to always be looking for ways to increase. Self improvement helps makes us more confident. When we are self-confident it is much easier in order to inspire others that you follow in the same course.
We all have our insecurities however it is important to remember that no one is perfect. There will always be strategies to improve our lives but life does not need to work best with us to be very happy with ourselves. You can love yourself and accept that there are things you might do better. When we set out to improve ourselves we then begin to feel happy and happy.

As I begin to tap out the first words of this post, it's 10:33 pm on New Year's Eve in the vicinity of the Nation's Capital. The darkness of the night has enveloped the area, and the family clan has just finished unwrapping Christmas gifts – a counter-cultural move, but one that worked out quite well for everyone.
This year, we all decided to tone down the holiday frenzy as much as we could by not packing in too many activities into the Christmas weekend. That meant putting the gifts aside for later.
Instead, the clan agreed to congregate early on Christmas Eve at our home in Bridgewater, and to enjoy a reunion that would concentrate on the pure joy that comes from focusing solely upon one another, instead of upon the gifts that we traditionally exchange.
Good decision!
We spent hours of family time around the kitchen table and later in the dining room, slowly feasting, drinking, and engaging in animated conversation long after the main dishes and the deserts were consumed.
It turned out to be one of the longest sit-down dinners that we have hosted on Christmas Eve.
The cousins (one tween, three teenagers) had the advantage of no new electronic gadgets to distract them – that would come a week later – and, in the early evening, they promptly disappeared somewhere else in the house to catch up on the happenings in their own young lives.
The late night hours would find us in our churches commemorating the birth of Christ.
Thanks for reading, and may 2012 bring you, your friends and your loved ones a healthy and happy New Year.

We spent two nights at Salt Pond Bay while our cousins had two nights ashore. We stayed busy. We had a mooring right off the beach. The beach, part of the national park, was hopping during the day, but cleared in the late afternoon and at the sight of the first raindrops which came often. There are a few trails leading from the beach.
We climbed Ram's Head with the Molto Bene crew. Hannes made the summit. Hold on to your hat, it was windy up there. Ram's Head is out on a peninsula just southeast of the Salt Pond. It is isolated and rugged. We read that some of the slaves that participated in the 1733 rebellion retreated here as the rebellion faltered. You could see why.
The barrel cacti were starting to bloom.
The view back to St. John and Salt Pond Bay was spectacular.
We snorkeled along the shore that was easily accessible from the beach. Nothing exciting. Then, we headed to the reef in the center of the entrance and were blown away by the coral especially the pillar coral and a few impressive Elkhorn Corals. And, we didn't have the camera. A 4′ barracuda like the one in Francis Bay visited and Jessica and David jumped right in to swim with him.
Here's the view of Salt Pond Bay from Jessica and David's cabin. Note the red kayak.

Project Description
"Let's start you off with a .22". The mantra most often heard by first time shooters, particularly women and younger people. The ease of use and the fun of shooting the Sig Sauer Mosquito validate the sentiment. Incredibly light and comfortable , very accurate , no recoil , and a capacity of 15 relatively low cost .22LR rounds make this an excellent choice for learning or practicing the fundamentals of grip , sight picture , breathing , and follow through. A smaller version of the Sig P226, the Mosquito does not disappoint those accustomed to Sig Sauer solid quality.
This particular version is in the Flat Dark Earth finish. It is a DA/SA firearm. After decocking , the first trigger squeeze is a hefty one at just over 12 pounds . Follow up single action shots are at a comfortable 4.4 pounds. This firearm was fun and accurate! I shot it strong hand, weak hand, both hands. It was my first time firing a .22 handgun and I was impressed with the accuracy and ease of follow up shot placement due to the absence of recoil. The Sig Sauer Mosquito is a great choice to rent if you are introducing a friend or family member to the world of handguns, or if you want to work your fundamentals without breaking the bank on ammunition!

Your business is B2B, not B2C, so you don't need to worry about ideal clients, right?
Think again. This week's episode of #AwkwardMarketing is all about clients, copywriting, and the one thing will make or break your B2B marketing strategy. Do you know what it is?
Thinking of your clients as businesses, not people.
Such an easy — and costly — mistake to make. It's all in the name: BUSINESS 2 BUSINESS. But last I checked, robots don't make buying decisions. And that's basically what a company is: a machine of moving parts carrying out complex actions. Only, instead of cogs, those moving parts are PEOPLE.
In other words, "businesses" don't make buying decisions. People do!
Watch the full episode for what B2B businesses MUST avoid when putting together their marketing strategy (and what to do instead).

Tomorrow, she will abdicate
Tomorrow, our Queen Beatrix will abdicate. She will leave the
throne to her son Willem Alexander and her daughter in law
Maxima, who will be King and Queen then.
Beatrix (Wilhelmina Armgard), born 31 January 1938, will then
have been The Netherlands' Queen from 1980 to 2013. Following
her abdication, she will revert to her pre-accession birth status as
Princess of the Netherlands with her full style being
Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands.
Beatrix is the eldest daughter of Queen Juliana and
Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. In 1948, she became heiress
to the throne of the Netherlands, when Princess Juliana
became Queen. When her mother abdicated on 30 April 1980,
Beatrix succeeded her as Queen.
Tomorrow for the first time since 1890, The Netherlands will
have a King, instead of a Queen !

Boost your performance with a technology 10x faster than traditional SSDs
Introducing the next, revolutionary step in storage technology: NVMe
As seasoned video professionals ourselves, we know the struggle of getting lost in overly complex workflows, keeping an eye on your storage fill level staying below 80% and worrying about optimizing your allocation strategy for VFX or Color Grading. That's why we developed ELEMENTS BOLT: a groundbreaking storage solution that is much more powerful than regular systems while still being easy-to-use.
Experience the delight of ultra short response time and unmatched streaming performance by using a brand new protocol that allows much faster connections. It doesn't require any defragmentation resulting in virtually no seek times at all – even when working on 8k and more video material. On top of that, the ultra efficient technology only needs around 1/10 of the power consumption of a regular system with 200 TB of high-performance shared storage in a 2U Chassis.
With ELEMENTS BOLT you will be able to provide media assets to every department in your facility, from scanning, to color grading, editing, compositing, VFX and GFX – and every other application. On top of that, the exceptionally intuitive web-based GUI embraces useful tools to manage projects, organize assets and automate tasks.
Discover our unique features that make your daily work less complicated and more efficient – with intuitive tools that ease your workflow.
• up to 220 Terabyte in a 2U chassis
• 2U rack-mountable up to 24 NVME drives
• over 20 GB/s per chassis
• over 1 Petabyte in a 10U setup
• approx. 38,0 kg
• 1600 W (primary)
• L x W x H 800mm x 438mm x 88mm
• 100Gbit Ethernet / 32Gbit Fibre Channel on all major protocols
Users are familiar with the speed and convenience of directly attached storage when working with media assets. Unfortunately, this type of storage isn't suitable to collaborative workflows, as projects and assets can't be shared conveniently between different workstations in real-time. ELEMENTS storage solutions are designed specifically to share media files across all platforms and application while providing consistent high performance for all workstations.
First off, ELEMENTS storage has unique tools and features embedded that are specifically designed for users to share media – seamlessly and simultaneously. ELEMENTS' media aware interface allows for easy access to view, comment and even edit media assets remotely and provides the option to simply set-up tasks for workflow automation.
Standard IT workflows have very different read and write patterns, and low latencies are not essential. Media workflows are a lot more time-critical; hence, low latencies and high bandwidth are crucial for post-production and broadcast workflows, otherwise stuttering video and other issues will occur.
Media storage is optimized to deliver high-performance for every workstation connected, and a specialized file system allows heterogeneous networks with numerous applications on different operating systems to share media assets efficiently from the same storage pool.
There are virtually no limitations, as ELEMENTS' task manager can easily be set up to perform any task, such as automatic backup or defragmentation, moving or archiving content, or any task useful in your particular workflow.
The most common use of workflow automation are concerning the approval process, for example moving approved files to a certain folder, or rejected files to another folder. But with the option to set up automation tasks across users, user groups, content location or any other parameter, the possibilities are endless.
Yes, with ELEMENTS you can share content seamlessly across virtually all NLE applications, including Avid. Even Avid bin-locking and Avid project sharing is supported, as ELEMENTS fully emulates an ISIS/Unity environment. ELEMENTS GATEWAY provides the same functionalities for any SAN or NAS (non-ELEMENTS) storage.
Every ELEMENTS product can be accessed via a HTML5-based web browser, providing ultimate convenience across all kinds of devices.
It depends on your workflow requirements. A rule of thumb: if you work in a heterogeneous network with various applications, with raw formats/DPX files, require real-time streams and produce in resolutions 2K and up, you will most likely need a Fibre Channel-based SAN, as a 10Gb Ethernet network will not provide appropriate bandwidth.

My first encounter with Greg Girard was a wave and a smile from his passing Jeep. He was on his way down Mount Revelstoke from a hike to Eva Lake; I was biking up.
Last weekend I sat down with Greg Girard and his business-partner brother Colin Girard to find out a little more about CanadaEh.net. The brothers just relocated to Revelstoke, bringing with them a combined 40 years of experience with their online adventure tourism website network, and general tourism industry experience.
Originally based on Vancouver Island, Colin saw the potential for a web tourism business in the mid 1990s, and started a regional tour site.
Greg joined his brother several years later, and since then they've built a national network of websites that network into the national site (like ehcanadatravel.com, bceh.com, kootenayseh.com, et cetera.)
Their network is used by primarily foreign travellers researching and planning vacations. Their main user countries are Germany, Japan, China as well as the U.S. and Canada.
The websites are advertising supported; Greg says they've got about 1,200 advertisers, including hotels, motels, B&Bs, campgrounds and tourism operators.
For the pair, adventure is a big part of the experience. They've got two Jeeps with trailers and have logged plenty of miles. "We wanted to go first hand and visit and research and write," Greg said.
They've travelled to virtually all major parks from coast to coast, camping out and taking in the experiences themselves, assembling photos, stories and resources.
So, why the move to Revelstoke? The brothers see a lot of potential here, and they wanted to be a little more central as their web network increasingly expands eastward. They have a major design overhaul coming in the new year.
They're still planning to expand their website network and keep it national. Both brothers say there will be some overlap in their promotional efforts; being located here will benefit Revelstoke.
For example, Greg's already posted his story about that hike to Eva Lake.
They also hope to help contribute to local tourism efforts. "We've seen every tourism trick in the book across the country," Greg said.
Our interview meanders into local tourism in general; like most tourism experts in town, they feel Revelstoke is missing out on a lot of passing motorists because there isn't a good interface with the highway. Motorhomes or vehicles with trailers don't have a great place to pull over, learn about the community and gather information. Even if you don't catch them this trip, it's a crucial first step to building multi-night stays in the future. But I digress.
For now, the brothers continue to work on their business, meet and greet. Most importantly, the Mount Washington locals are looking forward to the snowboarding season.

It's the strangest thing, every time I hear a croaking I can NEVER see a frog! My husband said "Honey that isn't a frog croaking, that's a Gator" OK so his comment totally freaked me out. Grew up in Connecticut where hunting frogs was a fun thing to do. Today it was a good thing I didn't rummage through those weeds to get the "frog" picture!
Sure enough we did spy one far away in the floating algae. As we got closer the "croaking" sounded deep and more like a lion's roar. Ever look into a Gator's eyes? They are mesmerizing, this one almost looks "innocent"… curious. I think we both were.
However an alligator's brain weighs only 8 grams, or one-half a tablespoon. This lack of brain power means there is no such thing as a "nice alligator". If it's hungry, an alligator will eat anything that moves. Pets and children who wander near any alligator pond are frequent victims of this instinctive behavior. Did you know . . . (take this quiz!)
- Alligators can survive two to three years without eating.
- Alligators are one of the few reptiles today that care for their young.
- Alligators have vibration sensors on their skin that are extremely sensitive — they can detect even the slightest vibration and get out of harm's way long before it arrives
Talk about powerful, I definitely respect power and keep a healthy distance away from powerful animals, human or otherwise 🙂 Even the soaring raptor steered clear from these waters today.
And Anahinga, the diving fish eater, is witnessed, patiently waiting for Crocodilian jaws to pass.
"Patience is power.
Patience is not an absence of action;
rather it is "timing"
it waits on the right time to act,
for the right principles
and in the right way."
― Fulton J. Sheen
So even if one of these creatures makes your hair stand on end
It's ok, just shrug off that feeling and enjoy this present season . . .
It may be the perfect time . . .
time to find a private space to call your own
And maybe time for a refreshing bath
Definitely the time to ignore any humans looking at you 🙂
Along life's path . . .
We discover many have gone before us, despite the muck and mire
they have left imprints on our Hearts, they have changed us
You suddenly find the reptilian beasts are easier to avoid as you focus on the beauty all around you
Recognizing the delicate balance of life and death and the very breath of love
It hits you, yup you have fallen in love again . . .

I've spent some time away from this blog. I've been journaling a bit lately, but that's it. There's lots of stuff going on, but at the same time I feel like I don't have anything to write, and I don't want to put stuff out there unless it means something – at least to me.
So summer is here. Beach and pool season is upon us. Time ticks on…it literally seems like yesterday that it was Christmas, and a week ago that my son started school. Now we're into July, his first year of school is over, and he'll be entering Senior Kindergarten in September. Full days, every day. It'll be a big adjustment for him, and for us. I think we'll all do fine though.
Summer is my official favourite time of year. I always used to say that Fall was my favourite season, and it is definitely up there, but in the last few years, my family and I have started frequenting the beach, and I have to say – summer has stolen my heart.
The beach never used to be a big deal for me. I hated the sand caught in everything, the having to walk and carry everything from your car parked a mile away down to the water, the semi-clean lake, the buff bikini bods prancing around everywhere making you wish you had brought more towels to cover yourself with. Also, most of the beaches we went to got deep fairly quick so I spent the majority of the time listening to my mother shout: "Bring it in Danielle! A little closer to shore!!" I'm quite a strong swimmer, but she is not, so it definitely worried her when I was too far out of her reach. Even as I got older.
All that has changed in the last couple of years. Nicholas was born in May, so honestly, he didn't get out into the pool too much during his first year. Since you're not supposed to put sunscreen on kids less than 6 months old, I spent the majority of that first summer in the shade, making sure his sensitive baby skin wasn't overexposed to the suns rays. His second summer was a little better, we spent some time in my parents' pool, but again, he was so little, that the majority of the time in the water was spent with me holding him and the rest of the time was spent with me worrying that he would fall in the water. Very nerve wracking. I was identifying with my Mother and how worried she always was about me.
The last couple of years though, we have discovered the beach. One Saturday we just packed up the car, and took a drive out to Kettle Point to spend the day. Now let me tell you a little about Kettle Point that makes it perfect, and how it gets past some of the crappy beach stuff that I listed above. First of all – the sand thing – well, it's a beach, so there's no really getting rid of that. But it's harder packed sand, so it does cut down a bit on the sand getting into everything.
Another nice thing about this beach is that you drive right up to the water. A totally new concept for me, you just simply drive your vehicle across the sand, and up to the water. Pop open your trunk or hatch filled with all your beach stuff, and badda bing, badda boom, you're done! No carting all your stuff for miles before you get to the water. It's great. It's also filled with lots of families, not just the young, buff, "look at me" crowd.
The best thing though, and the reason why I love to take my son there, is that it stays shallow forever. There is no sudden drop, and you can walk out quite a while before the water even hits your waist. This is awesome for kids, and I can sit comfortably by the water's edge and let my son play (luckily he doesn't venture too far on his own yet) without worrying that he is going to fall into the pool. I still make him wear his PFD and I along with whoever is with me watch him like a hawk, but he is perfectly content to play in the shallow water and play with the waves as they come in.
The beach has become a source of great joy for me and for my family. I can literally sit for hours in the non-humid climate, letting the breeze hit me and soak up vitamin D. The sound of the water is so soothing for me, it is truly my happy place. Last year I took a vacation day from work, and I spent the entire afternoon at Kettle Point, all by myself. I sat and read, listened to music, watched the water, swam a bit, probably nodded off a bit. It was awesome for me and I totally plan to do it again this year.
We've made it to the beach once so far this year, and have several plans to go again. Nothing beats that first breath of air that hits you when you first step out of the car onto the sand.
Do you love summer? Are you a beach or pool person? Or would you rather be snowshoeing? Please feel free to hit up the comments.
Have a great summer – and don't forget your sunscreen. The sun is awesome, but we must respect it the same way we do the water.

It's a rarelity in most instances certainly for the average type 2 diabetic patient it would be rare for them to die of low blood sugars or high blood sugars if they have proper access to health care, but among population of people with type one diabetes, the frequency of death from low blood sugar and particulars is not that low, maybe as much as 3% or maybe even as many as 5% of those individuals life long will have sudden death as a result of very, very low blood sugars and this is, for anyone with diabetes whether they have type one or type two diabetes.
Low blood sugars or hyperglycemia is usually what it limits your ability to get their blood sugars under proper control because the body is adjusting its insulin output every minute of the day over 24 hours, and if your sugar goes up little bit or down a little bit makes a compensation, but you're obviously not able to do that.
Even if you're testing your sugar multiple times a day, it's still just a hand full of times, and in most cases you don't have the ability to pull the medicine out of your system once it's in there or give more medicine just because your sugar is a little bit higher. So we try to get sugars down as closely to normal as we can consistent with safety, but clearly if you start to get too low with blood sugars and you start to see an increase in the mortality rate because of low sugar reactions.
In the last decade there were three major studies that looked at the question of whether getting very, very close to normal blood sugars helped patients do better overall than having just by his struggles [UNKNOWN] are very good control and it turned out that as you got very close to the normal the mortality rates started to go up and probably because people were having a little sugar and a little sugar causes your body to put up a bunch of adrenaline and that raises your heart rate and may cause cardiac rhythm disturbances may turn to a heart attack frequently you are talking about a population of people who have an increased risk of heart disease by virtual of having diabetes so it can be a real balancing act for people but it depends a lot on what medications are used some medications are clearly put somebody at risk for the development of low sugars Others really don't care that risk at all.
