Regenerative Medicine — What Happened & What's Next, Part 3: Stem Cells
Everything you always wanted to know but were afraid to ask…
At last we arrive at the new NEW discipline in regenerative medicine — STEM CELLS! The stem cell (SC) approach is thought to be superior to delivery of a single growth factor due to cells' ability to respond to their environment, perform cell signaling, and act as mini bioreactors, generating a complex array of growth factors which in turn create the milieu necessary for the cells to grow, divide, and make the kinds of cells the tissue needs (aka differentiation and proliferation). The regenerative pathways are complex, and the chances of producing the proper mix of biologic signals are potentially higher if cells are used. For example, it was once believed that growth of new blood vessels simply required administration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGf). But it was then discovered that additional factors, both biological and structural were required to progress from the beginnings of an arteriole to a functioning vessel. Similarly, administration of nerve growth factor alone has not been shown to regenerate functional neurons, likely because many important cellular-mediated events need to occur, including proper axonal guidance to the correct muscle tissue and formation of mature neuromuscular junctions into neurons.
Stem cells have been touted as potential cures for a diverse array of conditions involving nearly all major organ systems, and there have been early clinical studies in each of these areas: neurologic (spinal cord injury, Parkinson's, ALS), cardiovascular (infarct repair, stroke, vascular grafts), orthopedic (bone and cartilage repair), metabolic (artificial pancreas) and gastrointestinal (Crohn's/ulcerative colitis).
SC come in a variety of flavors: Embryonic and placental-derived –first discovered but least studied; SC from umbilical cords; SC from human exfoliated deciduous teeth, differentiating into odontoblasts, and surprisingly, neurons, osteoblasts, adipocytes, and endothelial cells; adult/multipotent — mesenchymal (MSC, isolated from bone connective and marrow tissue), the most widely studied, which can become bone, cartilage, ligament/tendon, and adipose cell types; and created just 10 years ago, the newest SC on the block, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC, pluripotent=ability to become nearly any kind of cell) — generated through introduction of specific genetic factors in fibroblasts (or less commonly in MSCs). IPSCs pluripotency gives them the fantastic plasticity of embryonic SC but without the controversy; they can be coaxed into nearly every major cell type including cardiac, kidney, neurological and hepatic. IPSCs have been expanded in vivo to form organ-like tissues in three dimensions, and the first clinical trial (using iPSCs to treat macular degeneration) began in 2015 at the RIKEN Centre in Japan.
MSCs are further along in development than iPSCs as much of the basic biology, including the reprogramming protocols (the specific set of detailed instructions and genetic modifications) needed to achieve pluripotency while also avoiding excessive iPSC growth remains to be worked out. Early efforts to transplant cells for regenerative purposes were stymied by host immune responses. It is a happy coincidence then that MSCs, in addition to not having the typical traits that alert the immune system to their foreign-ness, have natural immunosuppressive properties, further adding to their appeal. Thus, many labs are exploring diverse arrays of biologic and physiologic factors and cell culture conditions that will drive differentiation of MSCs towards specific cell types, and several approaches have progressed into the clinic (discussed in the next installment of this series).
Despite this progress, SCs as a therapeutic class require further R&D to address several limitations. These include difficulties in producing sufficient numbers of uniform cells (many populations become heterogeneous following expansion in vitro); limited proliferation or differentiation potential; and dysfunctional immunomodulatory effects (nicely summarized in a recent review by Burke et al, Clin Transl Med. 2016). Further, the ability of the cell to make more of itself and determine the cell type it ultimately will be (cell fate) is also influenced by environmental stimuli as evidenced by the fact that certain cellular programs or processes can be modulated by non-genetic (epigenetic) factors. How are these and other shelf-life-related factors such as freeze-thaw cycles and storage conditions accounted for in commercial SC products? And because living cell populations can change when kept alive in culture conditions over time, how do we track and understand the significance of those changes? Beyond these issues, there is also the host's immune status to contend with, as recent discoveries revealed that host immune cells such as macrophages and T-cells play a role in supporting normal cell homeostasis, including stem cells' regenerative abilities and engraftment (Biernaskie et al, Scientist 2016; Mao and Mooney, PNAS 2015). Furthermore, the epithelial cells of each target organ have their own unique expression patterns of growth factors, adhesion molecules and chemokines, all of which influence regeneration.
Other factors influencing the success of stem cell therapy are the source of the stem cells, the timing of delivery, and the local environment into which the cells are delivered. Companies and academic labs developing (allogeneic) SC therapies generally work with a limited donor pool. This is particularly relevant because there are important biological differences in cells from different sources (human donors), a fact which, along with a lack of standardized assays for cell potency and activity, diminishes our ability to predict the behavior and therefore therapeutic potential of these cells. There is also no consensus as to when in the disease process (and this will vary depending on the exact disease or injury) it is optimal to administer SC. Regarding the local environment, the tissue that is to be repaired has often been subject to inflammation, (chronic or acute, depending on when the initial damage occurred and the exact disease process in question) which makes for an engraftment environment that is potentially less than receptive.
Fortunately, we've discovered that in many cases the biological effects of SC are due to immunomodulation and trophic activities (Caplan and Dennis, J Cell Biochem, 2006) and oddly enough, not the engraftment and subsequent creation of new tissue by the SCs. This powerful effect, known as paracrine activity, is thought to explain the early clinical benefits attributed to stem cell therapy. One of the first observations of this effect was seen in the attenuation of fibrotic processes in cardiac infarct and heart failure patients in early trials of autologous SCs (patients were treated with stem cells isolated from their own tissues). This effect has likely led to the generally positive, though modest, clinical outcomes seen in these patients that were treated with various SC (including peripheral blood and marrow derived MSCs), none of which are known to differentiate into cardiomyocytes (reviewed by Jeevanantham et al, Methods Mol Biol, 2013).
The abundance of these unknowns and the challenges of making cell products as consistent and predictable as conventional drugs means that the vast majority of the later-stage development work is with autologous SCs, accounting for the majority of the ~300 stem-cell related clinical trials registered to date [1, 2]. This approach is lower risk as no foreign cellular and genetic materials are introduced into the patient. However, this approach is also highly time consuming (taking weeks or months for the right patient cells to be identified and expanded in cell culture), customized per patient, and therefore expensive. So, the autologous SC approach is slow, expensive and impossible to scale up — companies offering these therapies would be organized as service businesses rather than product development businesses; and the allogeneic (donor cell) approach carries many uncertainties and potential risks. Hence, other approaches are being investigated. These include using specific sequences of drugs to induce regenerative changes in damaged tissue (fascinating work at Gladstone Institutes); using biomaterials loaded with growth factors to attract the patient's own stem cells to the site where needed; and using devices that can make up for cells' deficits. The most advanced example in this latter category is the use of automated minimally invasive pumps which deliver insulin in response to automatic measurements of patient's blood glucose, obviating the need to have the patient's pancreas re-grown or replaced (at least according to Medtronic!).
That there are often several paths to the desired therapeutic effect raises strategic questions that investors in this space, and in biotech in general often ask — when is it better to have a cell vs mechanical vs drug or other therapy? This of course depends on the specific clinical performance of each product, relative to its development costs and likely price point. It will be a great day when we have several cell therapies approved for use, allowing the market — patients and payors in the healthcare system — to chose the approaches that deliver the highest sustained clinical benefit with the fewest side effects and inconveniences for the money.
In the next installment, we'll take a look at the later-stage stem cell products in development and analyze the companies and the diseases / conditions they believe to be the best demonstration of the potential of stem cells.

Olivia Sliding Door April 01st, 2018 - 16:05:54
TIMBER You can choose from a number of engineered timber folding sliding doors including softwood or hardwoods such as Meranti and European Oak. Timber is normally engineered or laminated to ensure it is structurally resistant to warping or twisting and doors are normally available with either a factory applied translucent stain or RAL colour paint finish. As timber is a natural insulator timber folding sliding doors offer the most energy efficient solution when combined with high performance double glazing offering U values as low as 1.4. Timber folding doors usually provide slim sight lines as the individual door panels are normally hinged off each other without the use of additional mullions between each panel and therefore maximising visible glass areas.
In this type, additional guides are used to prevent it from swinging sideways. The clear threshold guiding is the most commonly used type. This is a plastic guide that is fixed to the surface mainly in the mid range of the track. This prevents it from swinging sideways. In order to prevent lateral movements on it, a groove is cut the bottom that will above the guide install. It is same case with a glass door as well. Indeed, most of the sliding doors used worldwide are made on glass. The glass ones also run through the guide making easy movements. As mentioned above, this is the most commonly used doors in the world. Bottom Rolling Sliding Doors This is the second type of sliding doors used nowadays. This type is used in cases where the top hung doors cannot be used due to weight problems and other reasons. Two rollers are fixed at the bottom of the door. The rollers help the door move smoothly on the track. At the same time, these are guided on the same channel with the help the guides at the top. in this case, all the weight of the door is on the two rollers at the bottom. This makes it harder to open and close. This is the main reason people across the world prefer the top hung ones.
Built-in wardrobes offer convenience to many households. A built-in wardrobe saves up a lot of space and gives your home a less crowded feel, no matter how small your home is. Another great feature of wardrobes is that they can be fully customized to whatever design you want and need for your house. One of the things you can customize is the door of your wardrobe. Your wardrobe door is bought separately from the built-in wardrobe set. If youre building your wardrobe yourself, its best to shop around for the best door that would fit your wardrobe. Sliding doors are more preferred than the usual swing doors with built-in wardrobes. This is because it maximizes the space that you have in your room. They are also tougher and less prone to damage and accidents. There are several types of sliding doors that you can install on your built-in wardrobe:
Homeowners can install mirrored sliding doors on their own while avoiding install fees, which can rack up quickly. Ensure that the bottom and top track is installed. By-pass sliding doors prove easier to install in comparison to bi-fold closet doors. The bi-fold closet doors needs a tighter fit due to the opening of the closet normally being square. If one is attempting to install a bi-fold door in a square opening, the drywall jams will not be consistent. This will cause the doors to not open or close easily, however, there will be horrible looking gaps, which is something that homeowners do not want to see after installing new closet doors.

The simple fact of the matter is that, as an Internet marketer, you need something better than artificial link building and pages of useless, jumbled nonsense to get long-lasting traffic referrals from major search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo. Google in particular pays special attention to your visitors' behavior. So if visitors are quickly navigating elsewhere because your site is full of junk content, then you will get fewer traffic referrals from Google over the long run.
Some positive aspects to writing articles and selling them on the internet is that you get to supplement your monthly income. In this rough economy who can't use a few extra bucks? Another upside is that you can build up your cache of original content and increase your reputation for writing and possibly attract some higher paying customers. Lastly, just think of the knowledge you are gaining by having to research some of the topics you write about. You are, or will soon be, a fountain of useless information.
Any article rewriter or paraphrasing tool basically scans through the content you provide it in order to look for all the words that it can replace with suitable synonyms or substitutes. Every replaced word will appear bold and highlighted in a colorful text. Clicking on the word will give you details such as original word or other suggestions, you also have an option to add your own word. By clicking on the original word, you can go back to original.
A long time ago there existed a boy. He previously blue eye with okker hair when yellow like gold. The particular young son was small, fragile, although his mind was fleet like the wind flow. He could calculate the outcome with any situation in the blink of an eye. But that had been not the biggest skill. No . Her biggest creativity was notion. The fresh boy might understand plus perceive anything at all faster as compared to anyone he ever attained. Then, your dog fell in love using a beautiful princess. She had magnetic eco-friendly eyes and lightweight brown scalp. He cherished her significantly and the lady loved your ex back a lot more. There was only one problem rapid the small boy was the son of any blacksmith. The actual princess's biological father would never enable her to marry an effective son of a blacksmith. However , their really enjoy was also strong. In one fell rush, the young boy elevated an affiliate marketer of undead and commenced a rebellion to destruction the malignant king just who did not trust true love. Following months for fighting about the armies of his beloved's father, the very young man was assassinated and the war was more than. No music were sang.

We know that you want more from your spinner so SpinnerChief 5 uses a new, unique, organic approach to spinning, one that grows with your needs. SpinnerChief 5's new method actually gets better the more it is used. No other spinner has it - it's the new, exclusive Statistical Replacement Technology (SRT). It works in a radical new way by selecting the statistically most appropriate synonym for any word or phrase. SRT works in a similar way to Google Translate - you may have noticed Google Translate is getting better over time with more accurate translations. This is because as the web grows, the sample size for Google Translate's database increases, and so becomes statistically more likely to use the correct wording when it translates. SpinnerChief 5 works in a similar way by polling its huge Cloud Thesaurus for the statistically best synonym. As the Cloud Thesaurus grows, so SpinnerChief 5 gets better and better at synonym replacement. Remember - it's exclusive, don't expect to see this kind of technology anywhere else. ONLY with SpinnerChief!
For a long time I search around the internet looking for the best and easiest way of creating website content. I then looked into ways of creating lots of backlinks because I thought it was the best way to get ranked at the top of Google. I wasted so much time searching for methods that appeared to make things easy, when in actual fact they didn't.
In simple terms, if we define the term spinning, then it is all known as about rewriting of the paragraph or even the whole of the paper straight in your own words. Unlike into the concept of the summarizing, you will be keeping every single thing as rough and in the same length as the original one. You can easily perform this task as by means of going through the original and hence changing every other word for the purpose of the synonym by means of using the thesaurus. You should be finding yourself as all the time repeating on with the portions of the original document.
There are a lot of spinners on the market, some are OK and others are just plain junk. If you are asking why The Best Spinner isn't in this comparison it is because currently TBS is not producing the results we need for higher quality spins. Sure you can hand tweak your articles to be perfect, but in our business time is money. The less time I have to spend on tedious tasks is more time I have for making money. While no spinner will produce perfect results, these two do a great job of getting you closer to human readable content. To us that means content that reads in a linear fashion with proper verbs and nouns. So below we will show the results of spun articles by these two top spinners.
Content reword programming which is regularly called turning programming isn't your best arrangement. An article rewriting tool can help you a lot. A considerable lot of these product projects will turn out total trash in the event that they are used erroneously and regardless of the possibility that used right they won't change the structure and organization of your work enough to trick the greater part of the web indexes. On the off chance that the work should be possible by programming it can likewise be spotted by programming. Genuine paper rewording will bring about another report that will appear to be totally unique to the first with various passages and sentences instead of only a couple of words having been changed all over. Tools such as Spinner Chief can help you.

From personal experience Spin Rewriter is the best! like I still use it today. Its so easy to use (Just copy paste and the program do everything) Because of this tool I managed to schedule content and articles for 3 years, do you know how much time and money I've saved?!?! A LOT!!! Also i high recommend you pick their mothly plan if you are still in doubt

I wasted so much time searching for methods that appeared to make things easy, when in actual fact they didn't.
There is also the option to spin capitalized words (assumed to be proper nouns) as well as leave any number of words unchanged, depending on whatever you enter into the "ignore" field, separated by commas. You also have the option to only keep the sentences that were altered a minimum percentage, as indicated by the "Keep Sentences that Changed" option.
Exactly Mark! In my experience you can certainly write around 1000 words per hour, even if you are practically new to blogging. I personally think that spinning articles is just a gimmick that doesn't really get results but wastes tons of time. The spinning software certainly makes a lot of money for the creators though! They are the ones who are laughing all the way to the bank!

Scragg v Accident Compensation Corporation (DC, 29/05/13)
Judgment Text
Judge D A Ongley
This is an appeal against a decision in which the respondent exercised a discretion to decline funding for skills training because it would not be cost efective.
The appellant seeks a decision by the Court directing that the training should be funded, but it is a discretionary question and the Court has limited jurisdiction to interfere. However there is an argument that the Corporation failed to properly exercise its discretion and that the matter should be referred back for a further and better decision.
Mr Scragg is now aged 55 and is likely to have a continued entitlement to weekly compensation for the next ten years.
An injury to his left brachial plexus in 1999 left him with significant dysfunction, neuropathic pain and associated sleep disturbance. He also sustained fractures around the C1 level with a traction injury on the left side cervical nerve roots. He has carpal tunnel symptoms affecting his right hand, which compounds his left side disability. He has osteoarthritis of the left knee. Before his injury he had worked as a builder.
Mr Scragg is highly motivated and keen to work. He is unable to work for 30 or more hours a week because he suffers fatigue associated with pain and lack of sleep. He is also slow in physical functioning and says that his rate of work is not acceptable to a reasonable employer. He is confined to sedentary work, but even so, he has been assessed as working at a rate that would require a considerate and understanding employer.
Mr Scragg offers a solution. He says that if he can get a marketable qualification, he will be able to work part time at his own pace and earn enough to relieve ACC of its weekly compensation obligations.
All other vocational rehabilitation has been completed and he has not been able to be assessed as vocationally independent.
Mr Scragg made his application in September 2010 for funding for qualification as a Bachelor of Engineering Technology. He had not been assessed for vocational independence, so at that time there was still a possibility that he could be fit to work for 30 hours or more per week, thus relieving ACC of responsibility for weekly compensation. That was an important aspect of Mr Scragg's case because it would obviously make a difference to the cost effectiveness of funding for training. If ACC had a responsibility for another 13 years of weekly compensation, it could well be cost effective to train the appellant for a qualification that would equip him to work part time for a reasonable economic return.
His application followed a Complex Initial Medical Assessment assessment by Dr David Ruttenberg, occupation medicine specialist, in March 2010. Dr Ruttenberg noted that Mr Scragg had succeeded with pain management but had a relapse in pain related symptoms. Nevertheless he appeared to be fit for roles that do not involve intensive use of the left hand and upper limb. He could not do heavy work. This preliminary assessment did not comment on ability to sustain full time work. Mr Scragg told Dr Ruttenberg that he needed a power nap 3 or 4 times a week in working hours. Dr Ruttenberg thought that he could do this in lunch breaks. He reported that both pain and an element of anxiety were aspects of the need for periods of sleep. He recommended a psychological review. Psychological assistance was provided in November 2010.
Meanwhile, in August 2010, Mr Scragg applied for funding for the qualification of Bachelor of Engineering Technology. The training institute is at the Open Polytechnic and the University of Southern Queensland and requires residence in Queensland while training. The qualification is recognised by the Institute of Professional Engineers in New Zealand as well as in Australia.
There has been no dispute in this appeal concerning the nature of the qualification, or concerning the appellant's cross crediting of existing subjects, his ability to manage the course of study and training, and his intentions regarding work prospects when obtaining the qualification.
In his application to the Corporation, he stated that "This qualification should position me so that even part-time employment could pay sufficient remuneration so as to alleviate my dependence on top ups of Weekly Compensation from ACC". He stated that full time employment was his ultimate goal, carrying through to retirement in 15 years. At that time, ACC would have been liable for weekly compensation for 15 years if the appellant were not found vocationally independent. He submitted, in his application, that "the greater value of my work contribution due to this further education may help carry me through whatever adjustment is needed. This option would more likely see me employed in a position where my disability and sleep problem are of negligible impact and willingly accommodated by my employer". He submitted that gaining this qualification would unequivocally improve his chances of employment in a wide range of engineering fields with various companies in the greater Tauranga area.
Mr Scragg produced material from the Institute of NZ Professional Engineers concerning the predicted numbers of engineers required each year for the next five years. He made out a case for the demand for qualified persons in engineering fields in sectors that he would be able to access. After taking account of cross crediting, the whole course would take him three years with course fees of $7,735, CAD computer equipment of $5,500 and fares and accommodation of $3,000 - a total of $16,235.
The Corporation then issued its decision on 29 October 2010, refusing funding, and giving the reasons:
"The Initial Medical Assessment report completed by Dr Ruttenburg 15 March 2010 identified a number of job options medically sustainable and considering there were no further recommendations for vocational rehabilitation. ACC has declined your application as we believe that your vocational rehabilitation is now complete and your request for funding is deemed not to be cost effective or appropriate under section 87(I)(b) & (c). "
It was logical enough for the Corporation to consider cost effectiveness on the basis that vocational rehabilitation had been completed and the appellant would probably be vocationally independent (on the basis of Dr Ruttenberg's opinion) thus relieving the Corporation of further weekly compensation liability unless there was a deterioration in the appellant's ability to work. The decision was made before vocational independence had been assessed. It has to be regarded as a peremptory decision on grounds that had not been fully investigated. The Corporation did not know whether it would have an ongoing liability for weekly compensation and did not conduct any investigation of the viability of training and future engineering employment.
There are several sections in the Act that are relevant to extended training for qualifications by way of vocational rehabilitation. The purpose of vocational rehabilitation is contained in s 80:
"80 Purpose of vocational rehabilitation
Subsection (2) concerns the level of vocational rehabilitation according to the profile of an individual claimant. It does not extend to new training or education as of right, but a case may be made for suitability and appropriateness. The appellant in this case claims that he is a person with good experience and qualification in some areas of building and engineering, but is unable to access regular work because of problems with his pace of work (hampered by his arm disability and pain) and his need for rest periods. In order to work at his own pace as a self-employed person, he needs to be able to offer a professional qualification. He submits that the engineering qualification that he seeks fits into the concept of s 85(2). He could thereby obtain employment, envisaged by s 80(1)(b).
Section 86 sets out matters to be considered in deciding whether to provide vocational rehabilitation:
"86 Matters to be considered in deciding whether to provide vocational rehabilitation
In deciding whether to provide vocational rehabilitation, the Corporation must have regard to the matters in section 87.
In deciding what vocational rehabilitation is appropriate for the claimant to achieve the purpose of vocational rehabilitation under section 80, -
the Corporation must consider whether it is reasonably practicable to return the claimant to the same employment in which the claimant was engaged, and with the employer who was employing the claimant, when the claimant's incapacity commenced; and
if it is not, the Corporation must consider the following matters:
whether it is reasonably practicable to return the claimant to an employment of a different kind with that employer:
whether it is reasonably practicable to return the claimant to the employment in which the claimant was engaged when the claimant's incapacity commenced, but with a different employer:
whether it is reasonably practicable to return the claimant to a different employment with a different employer, in which the claimant is able to use his or her experience, education, or training:
whether it is reasonably practicable to help the claimant use as many of his or her pre-injury skills as possible to obtain employment. "
Section 86 makes no reference to vocational independence, which is part of the purposes of vocational rehabilitation under s 85. However it does have considerations in parallel with vocational independence assessment.
Section 87 includes the requirement of practical suitability and cost effectiveness. It also has a normal limit of three years:
"87 Further matters to be considered in deciding whether to provide vocational rehabilitation
In deciding whether to provide vocational rehabilitation, the Corporation must have regard to
whether the vocational rehabilitation is likely to achieve its purpose under the claimant's individual rehabilitation plan; and
whether the vocational rehabilitation is likely to be cost-effective, having regard to the likelihood that costs of entitlements under this Act will be reduced as a result of the provision of vocational rehabilitation; and
whether the vocational rehabilitation is appropriate in the circumstances.
The Corporation must provide the vocational rehabilitation for the minimum period necessary to achieve its purpose, but must not provide any vocational rehabilitation for longer than 3 years (which need not be consecutive). "
In its decision, the Corporation referred to s 87. That was logical enough when there was a reasonable likelihood of achieving vocational independence without further education or training. But that underlying assumption was later to change. Meanwhile the appellant applied to review the Corporation's decision to refuse funding.
On 30 March 2011, the Corporation advised Mr Scragg that his vocational rehabilitation was complete and that he would be assessed for vocational independence. In April a vocational independence occupational assessment identified 21 job types for which Mr Scragg was competent. They covered a field of mechanical engineering or architectural draughting, teaching, and clerical or labouring occupations.
Dr W E D Turner, specialist in occupational medicine, conducted a vocational independence medical assessment. In addressing Mr Scragg's work history, Dr Turner referred to his light work at a building depot in 2004 and wrote:
"He then moved to an engineering company as a filing clerk, again light duties. There was some minor computer work and a lot of filing work and he stayed in this job for two years. He then got into CAD work but was made redundant after 6-8 months. He was then unemployed for a period of time but gained employment with McAlpine Hussman as a punch press programmer where he worked from September 2006/August 2008. He reported that about September/October 2007 he started falling asleep at his computer, which was the point he saw Dr Alan Farrell, pain specialist. Dr Farrell manipulated his medication but found this did not significantly change his daytime somnolence and subsequently he was diagnosed with sleep apnoea. "
Mr Scragg had managed limited light work but had eventually fialed because of his sleep apnoea and daytime fatigue. Dr Turner noted that use of a CPAP machine had apparently cured the appellant's sleep apnoea but had failed to deal with his daytime somnolence. In his summary of injury effects, Dr Turner said:
"Mark suffered a very significant injury in September 1999 with significant trauma to brachial plexus namely the nerve roots at the C5/6 level. Clearly he has gone on to develop a significant neuropathic pain disorder requiring ongoing Gabapentin and Tramadol together with copious Panadol medication. Vocationally after a 13 month absence from work he was able to return to employment for various employers but eventually ceased work in August 2008 when he started to fall asleep on the job.
Vocationally Mark presents some barriers to returning to full-time work. Clearly he is unable to undertake any medium to heavy physical demand manual handling role but there is no contraindication to his participating in a sedentary to light physical demand manual handling task. Dr Ruttenberg has confirmed that he is medically sustainable for these types of employment as has his GP. On the other hand Mark sees himself as potentially unproductive and whilst he feels that he could return to the workforce he believed he would need to have an understanding employer who would be prepared to accept his requirement to have 3-4 power naps per week during working hours. He indicated that whilst he is CAD trained he is slow and even though he is right handed and the tablet is held in the right hand this is a two handed operation where the left hand is needed to use the keyboard; he is much slower as a consequence of the left brachial plexus injury. "
Dr Turner advised the Corporation that Mr Scragg had the potential to be able to return to 30 or more hours per week given the right environmental circumstances that is to say a congenial employer and an ergonomic flexible work environment. Vocational independence depends on the ability to work for a reasonable employer, not only for a considerate and understanding employer. Mr Scragg had lost his last job because he could not stay awake. Dr Turner though that he was till capable of full time work in five work types. Mr Scragg's case manager was concerned that Dr Turner's assessment was ambiguous and requested further comment. Dr Turner wrote again on 5 July 2011:
"My intention here was to recognise the fact that despite his significant ongoing pain issues requiring the need for membrane stabilisers such as Gabapentin and analgesia such as Panadol, he is nevertheless a very motivated person and does have the potential to be able to return to 30 or more hours per week in the right environmental circumstances. This would necessitate his having an understanding [hence congenial] employer and a flexible work environment where his employer would be prepared to accept his personal requirements i.e. in relation to his being slower and his view that he would need to have 3-4 power naps per week during work hours. While some employers would not be comfortable with this a congenial employer who is accepting of his limitations would allow this to occur and in this situation he would have no problems performing work as described at 30 or more hours per week in a safe and ergonomically friendly environment. "
While there was yet no decision on vocational independence, the appellant's application for review of the funding decision was heard on 29 June 2011. The Reviewer Mrs J Maher considered a summary of Mr Scragg's training reported in his initial occupational assessment:
As a foreman, he had supervised up to eight staff.
While self employed he had completed all of his own paperwork, quotes, invoices and GST returns,
Passed School Certificate and University Entrance and University Bursary in statistics and computing.
completed a CAD (computer assisted design) course
two papers left to complete a New Zealand Certificate in Engineering (mechanical engineering) that he would consider completing.
completed the practical hours required for a journeyman fitter and turner. "
Mr Scragg had done his CAD course with support from ACC as part of his vocational rehabilitation after initial occupational assessment in 2000. It had equipped him to take up employment for eight years or more until he had increasing problems with pain and fatigue. Mr Scragg described his objective of future proofing his employment skills.
The ACC representative submitted that the job options that had been identified as occupationally and medically sustainable in the initial assessments were not contingent on any further training requirements and certainly not on the training that Mr Scragg requested.
The Reviewer considered a submission for cost effectiveness on the basis that ACC would otherwise be liable for weekly compensation totalling $540,432, whereas after the course costs and three years support by way of weekly compensation that liability could be reduced to about $389,000 if the B Eng Tech resulted in profitable part time self-employment.
The Reviewer decided that there was clear evidence that Mr Scragg was, at the time of the decision, able to enter the work force and had the required skills, experience and training to do so. In the circumstances, there was no need for further vocational rehabilitation.
I note here that this appeal is heard nearly two years later and on the basis of new evidence. There was a sound basis for the Reviewer's decision in 2011 that the appellant would be able to enter the work force, at least at the level of vocational independence for 30 or more hours a week. That is a conclusion that needs to be reviewed in the light of new evidence.
Dr David Black, occupational & environmental medicine specialist, provided an opinion to Mr Scragg's GP. After recording Mr Scragg's account of his job as an engineering office administrator and CAD draftsman in the Bay of Plenty, Dr Black continued:
"He then moved to McAlpine Hussman as a CNC punch programmer in 2006 and continued to use his skills till his job ended in 2008. The reason for the end of this work was Mark's inability to complete a full days work because of the effects of the necessary medication. Mark recalled that after the training period in this work, his productivity became an issue and although there were some attempts to work around this, he was also suffering from somnolence at his desk eventually resulting in a referral to the Sleep Clinic at Tauranga Hospital. This helped but did not solve the problem and did not result in restoration of his ability to undertake a full days work to the employer's satisfaction. When the employer, who had been supportive realised that there was going to be no 'fix' for Mark's problem, his employment was terminated and this was eventually tied back to the original injury and its ongoing effects. "
Dr Black agreed with Dr Turner's opinion that Mr Scragg could possibly work for 30 hours per week for a congenial employer and in the right environment. Dr Black wrote wrote:
"I agree with Dr Turner in that regard too, an employer who accepted those limitations would possibly, even probably, be able to create an environment which would enable Mark to return to work. However having said that, some of the employment opportunities such as a small business owner could not have such a 'congenial employer' as effectively the employer is the market which would impose requirements on Mark that he would, in my opinion, be very unlikely to be able to meet. Dr Turner goes on to say 'while some employers would not be comfortable with this a congenial employer who is accepting of his limitations would allow this to occur and in this situation he would have no problems performing work as described at 30 or more hours per week in a safe and ergonomically friendly environment'.
In my opinion, and with all due respect to my colleague, Dr Turner is perhaps going further than he should in suggesting that such a work environment could be achievable and in particular that it is compatible with the concept of vocational independence.
In my opinion, vocational independence means that an employee would be able to obtain and maintain a commercially viable employment relationship on a competitive employment market meeting the reasonable expectations of a reasonable employer. "
Dr Black went on to say that it would have to be accepted that Mr Scragg would probably not be as productive as a fit and able worker, and recommended that Mr Scragg should be encouraged to return to work in a sheltered environment, that is to say with a congenial employer and with flexible conditions.
Perhaps Dr Black went beyond his medical expertise when pointing out that employability with a limited range of employers is not vocational independence, but he was correct and that view was eventually accepted by the Corporation. The Corporation made a decision in February 2012 finding Mr Scragg vocationally independent. It then revoked its vocational independence decision after reviewing the medical material including a letter from Dr David Bartle.
A diagnosis of right carpal tunnel syndrome was made by Dr Bartle in March 2012. That is apparently not accident related, but it is a factor that cannot be taken out of the equation because it would probably not have been a cause of inability to work if it were not for the accident related disability.
That is the background to Mr Scragg's situation by the time of the hearing of this appeal from the review decision of 17 July 2011 which confirmed the Corporation's decision of 29 October 2010 refusing funding for B Eng Tech training.
The ground for making a decision concerning advanced technical training has changed over the two and a half years since the Corporation's decision and the two years since the Reviewer' decision. The most significant change in the circumstances affecting the decision is that the appellant has not been found to be vocational independent. No further treatment or vocational rehabilitation has been suggested to improve the appellant's ability to work for 30 or more hours a week. The medical reports do not indicate that his ability is likely to improve, but no specific medical enquiry has been addressed on that question.
It is notable that, in all assessments and reports, Mr Scragg is described as a highly motivated person. It is clear that he wants to return to work and it is only fair to assume that he would diligently pursue an available course of training and would do his best to apply a resulting qualification to part time endeavours to produce a reasonable income reducing his reliance on weekly compensation.
The Corporation's decision was made on a premise that the appellant would probably become vocationally independent. That has been very clearly shown to be unfounded. The decision should not stand and a proper course would have been for the Corporation to have revoked its decision, at least after receiving Dr Black's report, in order to invite the appellant to make a further case for his training for self-employment if he wished to do so.
The appellant puts forward a clearly credible proposition for further training. But the Court cannot substitute its own decision for that made by the Corporation. The Corporation is still entitled to make a primary decision based on up to date information. The Court is not able to make a discretionary decision on a matter that involves a variety of factors that would ordinarily be weighed by the Corporation. The question in this appeal concerns only the reasonableness of the prevailing decision in light of the information now known. The determination is that the Corporation is not entitled to rest on that decision.
The exercise of discretion now rests on a different basis. The cost effectiveness assessment has changed and may give rise to other questions such as the possibility of the appellant obtaining part time employment with his present qualifications, and a realistic assessment of his obtaining better part time employment after a three year supported course of study. There may have to be some enquiry into the availability of the kind of work that the appellant wants to do, the sufficiency of his proposed qualification and background of experience, and his physical ability to do the work. He should be given an opportunity for realistic input into an investigation, and should be entitled to a decision, with full reasons in the event of further refusal of his claim for advanced vocational rehabilitation.
For the foregoing reasons, the appeal is allowed. The review decision is quashed and the respondent's decision is set aside. The appellant should request a further primary decision on vocational rehabilitation and provide any up to date information that may assist.
The appellant will have costs of $2,500 and reasonable disbursements to be fixed by the Registrar.

"The holidays have certainly arrived … All of our lives are being added to by the lights, the music and cheer!!" she captioned a photo of her family at a Christmas tree farm on Instagram. "This year our family has reason to further broaden our smile … baby number four is on the way!! I am a lucky, lucky girl…"
The quickest way to tell whether an actor is serious about his or her career is to look at their "headshot".Is it a professional photo? Or is it a snapshot taken on prom night? If you're using a snapshot, it's like showing up to race the Indy 500 in a VW Beetle. Nobody is going to take you seriously. I'm sorry, people… you can send me as much angry e-mail as you want about this, but it's true! Don't tell me you're destined to be a major Hollywood star but you cannot scrape together the cash to get professional headshots.

The Musical stole the spotlight at the Empire State Building's 86th Floor Observatory December 14, 2012, to promote the musical's limited holiday engagement.

Sat with Raf

It was early in the morning, on my way to Hollywood High. I got on the 207 bus and noticed that nobody was sitting next to this African American homeless man. I've been riding the bus my whole life and learned to not care who was in the bus. If I saw an empty seat I'll sit. I smiled at the man and he smiled back. I sat down and put my camera in my backpack, the man saw that I put my camera away and immediately told me that my camera reminded him of his youth and when he worked at universal studios. I introduced myself and he introduced himself. Ironically his name was Raf which immediately lighten up my morning. He talked about how he would work there every summer and the fun experience he had working with friends. He talked about how he saw all the backstage things and how everything worked.
Sometimes people we ignore have the best stories and experience in life.
Seniors it is time to wrap it up

As Nov. 30th approaches, seniors must finalize their UC applications. Following the CSU deadline has been postponed to Dec. 15th. The window has been open for a month now and the time has come to hit that submit button. The nerve wracking apprehension leaves seniors in the thought that the end of their high school career is near. No matter how "done" seniors say they are, the idea of moving on is truly frightening. As a senior myself, the application process has made me realize that my life has yet to begin and high school was a stepping stone towards the rest of my life.
Many of us seniors have been dealing with the overwhelming amount of work, whether it be because of college applications or school work. The stress that has come our way throughout the application process is one that will pay off at the end. Writing personal insight questions and filling out the application has made seniors realize how proud they should truly be of how far they have come.
Yes, senior year might be stressful and a handful, but it is a milestone for our future. Hit that submits button and be proud of how far you have come. The time is here.\
Book review: We All Looked Up
Posted on November 5, 2018 by Rafael Hernandez in Op-Ed

'We All Looked Up' by Tommy Wallach is a book of four teenagers perspective on their last month of humanity before an asteroid strikes. The four teenagers, Eliza, Peter, Andy, and Anita put their hearts together to throw a party on the day the asteroid "Ador" is supposed to hit. Together they go through many adventures putting a plan for the party.
I personally enjoyed reading the book because it put me through different emotions and getting to know the characters was really amazing. The best thing about the book is how all four teenagers are very connected and come together to throw the biggest party for everyone to enjoy rather than feeling hopeless. Although the book is 416 pages long it the story is worth reading.
Art therapy can help reduce stress
Posted on October 22, 2018 by Rafael Hernandez in Op-Ed

The form of art therapy that helps me reduce my stress is photography. The way that photography helps to reduce my stress is that it distracts me from the loads of school work I have waiting for me back home. It also makes me bring out the creative side of myself and adding to that it lets me express want I am feeling into a picture. Photography is most fun when you have your friends with you exploring the different kinds of neighborhoods around the city. I personally like taking pictures at night when there aren't much people in the streets and you are able to do whatever you want. Seeing the city during the night from afar is very beautiful and soothing.
Art therapy can be any form of art like painting, collaging, digital art, photography and textile. I recommend to find the form of art that helps you reduce your stress cause forgetting about something is way better than sticking with the feeling of stress. Buy a coloring book or play around with photoshop, anything that makes you use your creative side will most definitely help you reduce your stress.
Overpopulated Classrooms

High school class sizes have increased in the past few years and it seems to be taking a toll. During the first week of school, I was in many classes faced with seating issues. As some classes did not have enough seats for the number of students enrolled in the class.
Class sizes should be reduced for a number of reasons. One reason is the student to faculty ratio should be smaller so students can get more individualized attention. Students will have a better relationship with their teacher and not many students will be left behind.
Also, larger class sizes tend to be more hectic. Teachers will be able to manage their classes easier and more efficiently. The more students that are enrolled, the more money the school receives from the government. That means they get to hire more teachers but, assistant principal Mr. Furioso says they try to maintain a balance.
Students tend to have more of an academic achievement when they know the students in his or her class. It can create competition amongst the students making them want to do better than their peers. When a class is too big it minimizes the chances for students having competition and some students can fall and be left behind.
Small class sizes would also mean calmer, less hectic classes. Also, you would receive more help and it'll be easier to find out issues within the class. There has been a tremendous amount of research on how class size affects students. Many have said that it is more beneficial for students.
The importance of a third place
Posted on May 17, 2018 by Leslie Figueroa in Op-Ed

It has been said that a person lives in three places throughout their lifetime. Now I'm not necessarily talking about three different houses or states that one would live in, but rather a whole different location altogether. See, people will live in three different social places; their home, work/school, and a third place. This is usually a location where you can sit down and socialize. A place to go to after work but before retiring to your bed. These "third places" are critical for relationships. At their best third places are building blocks for a community. Think about places like libraries, malls, and cafes.
The psychology behind it is that different places require different aspects of yourself. For instance, home is where you rest. It is where you lay down your head for the night and sleep. You eat breakfast here, often times dinner as well and in short it is where you are supposed to lie down and rest. The second space is work or school whichever one you currently do. Sometimes people do both and it's often times also what cuts into their other places. But in general, it is where you work productively and get your job done. Finally, there is the third place. Away from home and away from work, it is a much-needed place of socializing. Typically it is a free place, or at the very least inexpensive, such as a coffee shop, the park, or mall. But why is it so important to us as high schoolers? It is because in a face past life where we have to go to school, spend hours on homework, and sometimes even have extracurricular activities or jobs to work we owe it to ourselves to invest in a place where we can socialize and relax away from our home and work.
But where in Hollywood would such a place be? Somewhere near enough to school to hang out but still far enough that it doesn't feel like school. Places could be the establishments such as; Starbucks, Waba grill, De Longpre Park. It used to be the shopping mall believe it or not where people would go in and simply hang out with friends. Unfortunately due to the rise of social media and online shopping, the mall as a third place is dying down.Overall the point of the matter is that a third place is crucial for a person. We need a place outside of stressful school life but outside of just rest as well where we can socialize and indulge in the need to simply talk to one another.
School safety crowd goes off

Hollywood High School hosted a school safety meeting on Sunday, April 8 which had many representatives from LAUSD and the City of Los Angeles come together in hopes of finding a possible solution for students when it comes to school safety. Numerous panelists gave their opinion towards recent school shootings. All these panelists had great things to say, but in the whole point was to hear out the crowd which consisted of students, parents and teachers.
For the most part when it was the audience time to speak, they only had one minute which I thought was unfair because it is a meeting for us and we probably deserved more time to voice our opinion towards the school board. Although much of what the crowd said was a bit harsh, but at this point everyone's opinion matters.
In honesty, it was not as successful as I thought it would be, but it was still important to hear how others feel towards this subject. I hope for future meetings they can lead towards the path of having more students and teachers opinions. It is important to have student opinions and it is critical for finding a possible solution for a path to better safety in schools.
Talent doesn't win an Award, money does
Posted on March 2, 2018 by Leslie Figueroa in Op-Ed

The Oscars are near us! The high time of glitter and gold and festivities celebrating our best actors, filmmakers and the lot. The very pinnacle of quality movies. We'd like to believe that Award Ceremonies such as the Oscars are how tastemakers honor important cinematic arts. That these awards are determined by objective voters that weigh the artistic merits of each individual work. The unfortunate truth, however, stands to be that our favorite filmmakers and actors are not the actual nominees of the shows, rather money seems to be seated in their place. While it is is most undoubtedly true that Money cannot act, it can make voters act differently. What happens is that studios and networks give heaps of money and incentives into what the industry calls, "For Your Consideration Campaigns" I'm sure we have all seen them around on billboards and the like, but do we really know what they are truly for? For Your Consideration Campaigns are hyper-specific marketing methods that are aimed solely at award voters. It's not really bribery, but they are close enough to it that it may as well be bribery. These come in the forms of paying for the Voters to go and watch the movies for free and throwing them lavish parties for them to meet celebrities. The ads as mentioned before are also painted and plastered all over the streets of L.A.
And while this is such a common open secret, the Golden Globes are by far the worst offenders. The only people who actually get to vote in the Golden Globes are the 87 members of Hollywood Foreign Press. The only problem is that this list of people are so well known, virtually all of Hollywood knows who are the voters and thus campaign to them personally. In a particularly interesting source Slate, Jan.13,2012, they state, "They nominated Sharon Stone in The Muse after her representative plied them with 84 gold watches." Well obviously then, Sharon Stone got the nomination! This is such an open secret that even Denzel Washington openly jokes about it in his acceptance speech in 2016 Golden Globes." Freddy Fields. Some of you may know Freddy Fields, he invited me to the first Hollywood Foreign Press luncheon," Washington told the crowd. "He said, 'They're gonna watch the movie, we're gonna feed them, they're gonna come over, you're gonna take pictures with everybody, you're gonna hold the magazines, take the pictures, and you're gonna win the award.' I won that year."
To win an Oscar studio may have to spend around $10 million dollars. The bottom line is that to make money one has to spend money. An Oscar nomination can increase your box revenue, and getting an award can make even more. Quality does have something to do with awards ceremonies, as the ones nominated are usually good but to win an award one have to be able to part with a couple of Franklins.
Do you want to get paid to play in College?

These NCAA scandals are really getting out of hand.
Most colleges are supposedly paying student athletes to come to their school. Recently a 5-Star recruit named Shareef O Neal decommited from Arizona University because of these allegations.
On Friday night, ESPN.com reported that Sean Miller – in his ninth season as head coach at Arizona – was caught on FBI wiretap discussing a $100,000 payment to star freshman Deandre Ayton. It's not known if Ayton received the payment. His family issued a statement saying it was "outraged and disgusted" by the allegation. What are your thoughts about it?
Hopefully they find if this is true or not because this is affecting student athletes of playing in college and it isn't right.
WE Need Gun Control

Crimson Chronicle Reporter
An angsty teenager trudges into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Wednesday, Feb. 14, after an Uber drops him off just outside. His bag weighs him down more than usual this particular day; however, and it's not the extra homework.Within just over an hour inside the building, he loads his AR-15 rifle and fires over 100 shots, killing 17 (and injuring 14). Nikolas Cruz, 19, the suspect, was taken into custody soon thereafter.
This is real. This is Columbine, this is Sandy Hook, this is Belsan, this is a cycle. And this could just as well happen to us. It only takes one to kill a hundred.
We lost 17 lives this Valentine's Day at the hands of a boy with no restrain and at the hands of a government with no reins. One of the victims was a 17-year-old star swimmer who had just been awarded a scholarship for the fall to begin his career, his life. Another was a 14-year-old freshman in JROTC who volunteered at a natural disasters reform organization on the weekends.
Who gave Cruz the right to put his life above everybody else's? Nobody. Who gave him the idea that it was possible? We all did. We did not heed the dozens of warnings preceding this.
We need to address the issue that is of such prominence today. We need gun control. Though what holds us back is the issue of infringing the Second Amendment, our right to bear arms, we need to filter the individuals deserving that right.
According to NBC and CNN, many students who had come into contact with Cruz had reported obvious indicators of his reckless behavior. One of his former classmates says, "He went ahead and showed me all his layout of guns, said that how he would just shoot them around for fun." This had been almost a year ago. Cruz had been 18.
Many other students kept away from him, some saying "something was off" or that "he was always a reckless kid," according to CNN. Senior Criminal Analyst Clint Van Zandt tells NBC, "Anytime we see a shooter like this, there are always pre-incident indicators. They either tell someone, they write about it on the internet or some social network page… We never see an individual just totally act out of the dark." Not only must we pay attention to the words and actions of those around us and act on them sooner, but we must take off the bureaucratic gloves and handle the recurring horrors with the necessary preventive measures. Zandt goes on, "The problem is, we never connect the pieces; we never put two and two together until the terrible shooting takes place."
What would save us are more thorough background checks and investigations of those we permit to own guns and more out-of-the-box acknowledgements of possible consequences. For example, the NRA-ILA, the entity responsible for the permissions to own guns, states as three of its 11 total points of disqualification, "The following classes of people are ineligible to possess, receive, ship, or transport firearms or ammunition:
- Those adjudicated as mental defectives or incompetents or those committed to any mental institution.
- Persons less than 18 years of age for the purchase of a shotgun or rifle.
- Persons less than 21 years of age for the purchase of a firearm that is other than a shotgun or rifle."
The Sun-Sentinel reports that Nikolas Cruz, prior to Wednesday's shooting, had been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder. He had shown signs of mental illness both verbally and physically, he was outcast socially, and he had been academically challenged thus. Nonetheless, he had access to a gun.
There will always be malice in the world; we are all too different to avoid it. The root of the problem, the social or mental hardships teenagers face, because of these differences, cannot be stabilized uniformly. Thus, we must prevent the destruction these hardships can lead to, and that is gun control. Guns were made, domestically, as defense and only that. THAT should be the defining guideline as much as it should be the focal point of education preceeding the permit to own a gun. We must assure our safety by defining our standards and not allowing just anybody to have access to a murder weapon.
It is scary to think that a shooting like Parkland could happen to any of us in any moment. Hollywood NMA Senior Aldo Jimenez says, "Anything can go wrong at any time, but we can't just live our lives in fear. We have to learn from our mistakes."
That means a stronger defense system on the part of the NRA-IRL towards a country that should not fear the destruction of its most innocent institutions: its schools. Our children, our parents, our staff, and our communities should not fear murder when measures could be taken to prevent it. We must stand up for us. The alternative is self-destruction.

Description1986 Roger Clemens Twenty Strikeout Game Used, Signed Baseball. In a career that places the Rocket among the top echelon of Cooperstown residents, the 1986 season was arguably his finest.

Here we present a well-used OAL (Brown) sphere from that game, autographed in 10/10 blue ink on the sweet spot with a "20 K's" notation in Clemens' hand. The ball shows proper game use.
