Pharmacy Licence Reinstatement
If a pharmacy licence is not renewed by the licence expiry date, the pharmacy is no longer licensed and the pharmacy will be required to cease operations and close. It is a contravention of the Pharmacy Operations and Drug Scheduling Act to operate an unlicensed pharmacy.
If you wish to re-open, you will have up to 90 days after the licence expiry date to complete the reinstatement process on eServices. This means that all requirements must be submitted and completed, and Proof of Eligibility must be received from all applicable individuals within 90 days after the licence has expired.
The reinstatement process allows you to follow the standard renewal process to obtain your pharmacy licence once all requirements are met. You do not have to submit a new pharmacy licence application. Refer to the Pharmacy Licence Renewal page for requirements.
Note the full licence fee applies for reinstatement.
To be eligible to reinstate your pharmacy, ownership information or pharmacy information must not have changed. If the pharmacy has a new direct owner during the 90 day reinstatement period, it is not eligible for reinstatement. They must apply as a new pharmacy and complete all requirements before it can open.

Subscribe To Will Grammy Performers Actually Follow CBS' Dress Code? Updates
I've already subscribed
Earlier this week, CBS sent around a memo to all performers and guests at the Grammys asking they please cover up their boobs, butts, vaginas and penises in order to help make sure the network doesn't incur any fines related to its upcoming broadcast. In addition, executives asked all involved refrain from wearing any clothes with logos. On the surface, the demands sound obvious and unnecessary, but given the history of the Grammys, those codes have been violated numerous times.
From Jennifer Lopez's green dress with the plunging neckline down to her belly button to Pink's skin tight, partially see-through body suit, the award show has featured more than its share of shocking outfits, and given the nature of musicians, we might still be in for some doubletakes this weekend. Artists don't typically enjoy being told what they can and cannot do, and while this request definitely isn't unreasonable, it might prove to be the request itself that convinces someone to push the envelope with an overly sexy number.
I highly doubt CBS will bar anyone from television if they violate the rules, but I am interested to see whether or not anyone takes a shot. What do you think? Will Grammy performers actually follow the dress code, or will some of them throw up the middle finger and put on something racy? Let us know your thoughts by voting in the poll below…
Will People Follow The Dress Code?

Cauliflower is one of several vegetables of the species Brassica oleracea. Other crops in this grouping include broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale and collard greens. These are annual plants that reproduce from seed. Typically only the head is eaten but the leaves and stems have use in the kitchen as well for soups and stir frying. The cauliflower head is composed of a white, orange, purple or green inflorescence meristem (curds). All Brassica are called "cole" crops and generally grown as a cool season vegetable.
Here at Sunshine Care, A Memory Care Community in Poway, CA, cauliflower and broccoli are our big players in the organic gardens from September through March plantings. We also dabble in kale and cabbage production. When our spring crops such as tomatoes, squash and peppers start to wind down, the gardens transform into a cole crop paradise.
The oldest record of cauliflower dates back to the 6th century B.C. but really took off in the 16th century A.D. when introduced to France from Italy. The origin of the name is from the Latin word caulis (cabbage) and flower.
Cauliflower grows best with cool daytime temperatures of 70-85 degrees F, with plenty of sun and moist soil conditions high in organic matter. Soil preparation is the key, especially since you are looking for that one big head for the kitchen. All of our rows destined for cauliflower are prepared with organic compost, worm castings, composted chicken manure and a balanced all purpose pre-plant fertilizer. You have only one shot for success so the need to start with a rich, organic base is imperative. After about a month from transplanting, subsequent fertilization is done on a weekly basis with liquid or granular fertilizers high in nitrogen. The key to achieving that large head is constant slow, lush growth of the plant. Anything that slows this process down and stunts the growth will result in smaller, misshaped heads. So keep the ground moist, watch out for insect damage and make sure they are well fed.
The residents and children in our Intergenerational Garden Club start the transplants from seed and receive lots of love in our greenhouse. In about six weeks the starter plants are ready to plant in the gardens. We do this on a weekly basis and once a month ladybugs are released to gobble up any aphids that are sucking on the plants for their juices.
The following varieties are proven winners in our setting and generally impossible to find at your local home and garden centers. Try starting these varieties yourself from seed.
Candid Charm- (65 days) After many trials of different white cauliflower varieties, we have settled on this variety for our main needs. Candid Charm is ideal and outshines all others by consistently producing excellent yields of the highest quality large heads. I have seen an 11 pound head cut from one of our school gardens. It produces extremely well from September through March plantings. The sturdy jackets and inner leaves envelop the heads, making beautiful solid domes of dense, pure white curds. You can't go wrong with this one in warm and cool climates. Seeds are available from Territorial Seed Co at a cost of $3.95 for a quarter gram (around 75 seeds). It's a winner!
Cheddar- (65 days) This eye-catching orange cauliflower variety contains 25 times the beta carotene as does white cauliflower. Only carrots have more. The extremely attractive domed heads measure 4"-7" in width on extremely vigorous plants. For the best orange color, keep the heads untied during growth. Cheddar is just as easy to grow as white cauliflower and you'll love the dense texture and rich flavor. So if increasing your vitamin A intake is for you, here's a delicious way to do it. The orange color will keep even after cooking. Seeds are available from Johnny's Selected Seeds at a cost of $5.10/25 seeds.
Vitaverde- (71 days) Big, heavy, lime- green heads of this variety mature on large plants in both cool and warm season production. The heads are very firm and mature early on upright plants. It's a great addition to your raw veggie platter and again, very easy to grow. It can handle the heat and summer production is possible in moderate areas. Here in Poway, we can go into late March with our transplanting of this stunning variety. A packet of 100 seeds will run you $4.10 from Johnny's Selected Seeds.
Veronica Romanesco- (80 days). This late maturing variety is extremely alluring with its spiraled, lime-green heads. It has a great nutty flavor. It is another out-of- the-ordinary cauliflower, bound to catch everyone's attention. This hybrid is a vigorous grower with beautiful lime- green pinnacles of spirals forming spirals, forming spirals, forming spirals of small pointed florets with a sweet mild flavor. It's a fractal geometry anomaly and perfect raw or cooked and definitely unique in flavor and appearance. A packet of 50 seeds costs $7.95 from Johnny's Selected Seeds.
Graffiti- (80 days) This unbelievably brilliant purple-headed variety is a great draw at farm stands and excellent for restaurants as well as your own dinner table. The stunning colorful florets are attractive served raw with dip or as a cooked vegetable, with its intense shade of purple. Graffiti produces a true cauliflower head on a vigorous plant. The color and flavor will blow your mind! A packet of 50 seeds goes for $8.10 from Johnny's Selected Seeds. It is definitely worth the wait.
When it's time to take the starts to the garden, we plant our cauliflower 18" apart down the row. We use drip irrigation so the transplants are set on both sides, about 3" from the drip tape in a zig-zag fashion. A 50 ft row will utilize about 67 plants.
After planting, Sluggo- Plus is sprinkled around the base of the plant for cutworm, snail and slug protection. After any rains, be prepared to sprinkle some more for snail and slug control.
Cabbage loopers are another potential problem, but a couple applications of BT, bacillus thuringiensis, during the growing season will easily control these caterpillars when holes in the leaves are noticed.
The biggest potential pest to cauliflower is that of aphids. They generally hide under the head but will also set up camp on the leaves and stems, so scouting is necessary. Strong blasts of water will knock them off the plant and insecticidal soaps and horticultural oils do a fine job for control. You just need to be diligent and check your plants when heads start to form. They will eventually find your plants. Guaranteed!
All these chemicals are organically approved and readily available at all home and garden centers.
When it is time to harvest the heads, cool them down immediately or better yet, eat them that day for maximum flavor.
So don't just grow white cauliflower, try the other colors for your dining pleasure. Remember that you eat with your eyes first!
Take advantage of our beautiful growing weather in fall and winter in San Diego County and plant members of the Brassica Family, especially cauliflower. The flavor is enhanced due to the cool weather and superior to anything that you can find in the store.

Burd Haward Marston Architects has completed its first new building, a self-build house in a conservation area in Ealing, west London. Its experience shows that many of the key elements of the the Segal Method, as set out in the AJ 15 years ago (5.11.86), are just as applicable today It is an attitude of mind rather than a system of construction.
Walter Segal's involvement in self-build started in 1971, when one of his clients phoned him to announce that he had dismissed the carpenter who was carrying out work on his new house, near Woodbridge in Suffolk. The client, a schoolteacher, had simply decided that the work looked so straightforward that he could save himself some money by doing the job himself.
Now, as then, a can-do attitude is the main prerequisite for a self-build client. Burd Haward Marston's client, John Brooke and Carol Coombes, had no building experience, but Brooke argues that they were well qualified for the task in other respects: 'With Carol being a painter, and me being in the BBC, we are used to having long periods where you didn't know what something is going to look like, and having to keep our cool and go with it.'
The attitude is one of rigorous simplification of the whole building process from design to completion.
'Conceptually, the design was completely influenced by the fact that they were going to build it themselves, ' says Catherine Burd of Burd Haward Marston.
In terms of planning, the house is fairly simple, in that it is set out on a grid and arranged according to a straightforward diagram: the accommodation is on one side of the site, and is as compact as possible, leaving room for a glazed courtyard on the other. The two-storey, enclosed side of the house contains an open-plan kitchen/ dining/living room and a study on the ground floor, and bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs. It is surrounded by thick walls to the north, east and west. The courtyard is flanked by a glazed wall to the house on one side, and a brick 'garden wall' to the other. It contains the staircase and a small mezzanine sitting area - both of which are galvanised steel. They were originally to be timber, but the fact that they are steel maintains the purity of the diagram by ensuring that the space is read as a single, double-height space.
The process of simplification also applies to the structural approach and Segal's edict that:
The process is rethought from first principles to derive simple yet effective ways of dealing with the fundamental issues of building construction, such as tolerances and thermal and moisture movement.
The client is perfectly satisfied that the chosen structural approach is not only completely comprehensible, but pretty much inevitable. The ground conditions made piles preferable to slab foundations. And, as Brooke puts it, 'having got the piles in place, it then seemed logical to have a steel frame' and having got the frame in place, it was also easy to put glass wherever we could.'
Building it was a little more intimidating. 'Although the clients were keen to carry out all the building work themselves they were really worried about setting out, ' Burd recalls, 'so we decided that we'd put up the steel frame and they could wrap it themselves.' The lightweight steel-framed superstructure established the appropriate tolerances (see structural account).
It is spanned by Masonite timber studs, enclosed in timber sheathing. This, in turn, is 'wrapped' with a clay-tile cladding system which is both easy to install, and precise - the client was determined to avoid the 'folksiness' often associated with self-build.
11after the rain 12 the potting shed doubled as a site hut 13 the house is at the bottom of the garden of the clients'previous home 14 self-build takes advantage of all available labour Elements are reduced to their essentials to obtain maximum economy of material and effort.
While Segal favoured timber frame, and has a 'folksy' reputation, 'we realised we had to throw out preconceptions like 'we have to do it in timber because it's sustainable'', Burd recalls. 'I think steel worked out really sustainable because we used so little of it.'
Foundations and groundworks are reduced to a minimum.
In this respect, the Brooke Coombes house deviates from the norm. Poor subsoil, combined with the close proximity of existing and removed trees, meant that ground movement could be a problem. This prompted the design team to opt for piling. There are also concrete retaining walls to the basement storage area and ponds. 'Putting the piling in was the lowest point, ' says Brooke. 'It rained and rained and rained.'
Construction is quick and economical.
A significant advantage of embarking on a self-build project is that the building process can fluctuate to suit available resources - building up momentum, for example, when university-aged children are back for the holidays - and can be planned to suit other commitments. As a fanatical gardener, John's main concern was that sufficient time and care should be taken to move plants from the old garden into the new. In this instance, the advantage of selfbuild was not that it speeded things up, but that it could be infinitely prolonged.
Work on site began in September 1999, and the architect cites a completion date of March 2001, but in reality, it is difficult to pinpoint the moment at which construction ends and gardening begins. The potting shed has served time as the site hut. The side wall to the courtyard - currently exposed brickwork - will not really be complete until it is dense with climbing plants. The fact that the garden is very much an integral part of the scheme means that the project will be a 'work in progress' for some time, and possibly indefinitely.
The simplicity of the construction documentation makes the whole process 'transparent' and easily understood by someone without experience, who can thus become involved in controlling the process.
Quantity surveyor Jonathan Moulton produced a simple cost plan - described by Burd as 'a model of legibility' - as soon as the outline design had been decided. The initial cost plan came in at about £250,000, compared with the budget of £150,000, but the straightforward, elemental breakdown made it easy for the client to make informed decisions as to where the necessary cost savings might be made. The most fundamental saving was the decision to replace the proposed basement with a smaller 'undercroft', which houses cool air, providing ventilation to the courtyard, and doubles as storage space. Plans to heat the courtyard were also abandoned.
In the event, cost increases related to changes in brief, specification, or simply the passage of time, led to a total project cost of £310,874, which both architect and client consider to be good value for money.
Working drawings were designed to be as legible as possible, but the architect was keen to impose limits on the client's ability to control the process.
As Burd puts it: 'With self-build the whole relationship between client and architect becomes confused, ' and the decision to use steel was, in part, a bid to limit the extent to which the contractor/client could use its initiative. 'If we had made it in timber, they could have made the details up at every turn.'
Inevitably, the client did introduce changes - notably the channel of running water which flows through the conservatory, providing cooling and humidity, rainwater storage for plantwatering, and a home for fish.
But, says Brooke: 'We were very aware of the danger of tweaking the plan, and making lots of little changes. In fact we were very surprised at the way the original design actually endured.'
They are very adaptable and easy to extend.
The glory of having a user who is also the contractor is that it should, in theory at least, be relatively easy to introduce structural alterations as circumstances change. In true selfbuild tradition, the Brooke Coombes house has been designed with flexibility in mind. This works at a microlevel - a 'storage zone' has been set at a uniform height on the bedroom walls so that storage can be added as necessary, without disrupting its proportions - and at a macro-level - partition walls between the children's bedrooms can be removed as they leave home.
The whole process produces buildings that are not monumental or heavy, or which 'encircle' the personality, but rather they encourage a feeling of lightness and optimism - buildings of their time to be used and enjoyed.
Although there is no obvious reason why a desire to build one's own home should go hand in hand with the quest for 'lightness', the two often seem to go together. Brookes and Coombes admit that at the start of the process they had very little idea of what they wanted, 'other than an ambition for having something light'. As they started to translate this vague yearning into concrete form, the wish-list expanded to include 'connection with the outside, level changes, and simplicity - we didn't want lots of little rooms'.
Nevertheless, this is a house with a profound respect for privacy. In stark contrast to the loft model with little separation between sleeping and living space, the distinction between night and day is celebrated. The fact that the staircase is placed outside the accommodation zone means that the trip to bed involves a foray into semi-outdoor space (in winter the conservatory is five degrees warmer than outside).
While the loft model may suit a young couple, this exaggerated distinction between private and public parts seems particularly appropriate where parents and teenagers - both in need of privacy - are sharing a home.
The drawback to having the staircase in the courtyard - along with the pitfalls of lightness and transparency - are neatly summed up by Coombes:
'If you want to wander downstairs in your nothings, you're completely on show.'
Architect and client - and even initially sceptical neighbours - are delighted with the result.
The Brooke Coombes house is 'of its time', and exactly suited to its owners' needs. Clearly, the relationship between architect and self-build client can work, provided the architect is prepared to approach its own role with a degree of flexibility, and the client, in turn, knows where to abdicate responsibility and defer to the architect.
Despite the fact that it offers an ideal opportunity to break free from traditional housebuilding, it seems that the architectural profession has not yet learnt to 'talk up' self-build.
Brooke and Coombes very nearly ended up with a traditional home. 'As we were in a conservation area, ' says Brooke, 'it never dawned on us that we could do anything else.'
Exploratory conversations with various architects - 'we interviewed at least 10, most of them dreary and middle-aged' - did not so much as touch on the possibility of doing anything more adventurous.
The main hurdle seems to have been an cute failure of communication. After giving a talk about the completed project, Brooke was approached by one of the architects whom they had decided not to use. He praised the house, and said: 'You probably didn't realise that I could have done something like that, ' before conceding: 'It never occurred to me that you would go for it.' The failure had been one of 'bedside manner' - an inability to convey and receive the necessary information, while reassuring the clients that they were in safe hands.

by Rachel Barson, University of Leeds, University of Missouri
March 21, 2013 (TSR) – Twice as many boys are in the world's top one percent of math students, but girls outdo boys in reading by an even larger margin.
Wide gaps in achievement between boys and girls in math are more common in economically developed countries, where considerable efforts are typically being made to promote equality and encourage more girls to engage in STEM subjects. The gap in achievement in math in the UK is one of the widest in the world, along with countries such as the US, the Netherlands, and Germany.
The study used data of 1.5 million 15 year olds across 75 countries, and examined the gap between boys' and girls' achievement levels in math and reading from 2000 to 2009.
"The maths gender gap continues to exist, with boys continuing to outperform girls at all levels. But what is more striking is the extent of the gap at the top, between the brightest girls compared to the brightest boys. This is where we see the biggest gap in maths, despite recent reports that the gap is closing," says Gijsbert Stoet from the University of Leeds.
"Given it's usually the highest performing students that are likely to go on to higher education or in to jobs in science and technology, this has huge implications for initiatives which have been designed to encourage girls into STEM fields and reduce gender discrimination. They seem ineffective, given this gap between boys and girls remains."
Published in the journal PLOS ONE, the study comes at a time where there are calls in the UK to increase the number of students studying math after the age 16. Recent findings from the Nuffield Foundation, a charitable trust funding research in education, has also identified performance and attitudes towards math are important factors in determining whether or not young people continue with the subject.
"Efforts should be focused on improving the classroom experience to enable boys and girls to perform equally well, to encourage greater participation and interest in the subject," says co-author David Geary of the University of Missouri. "While some solutions might make a lot of sense at face value, like role models and gender empowerment, the research does simply not seem to support these proposed solutions."
Reading scores flipped
The study also reveals some other significant trends for policy makers to consider: When it comes to performance in reading, girls continue to outperform boys and the gap is at its greatest at the lower end of the academic scale.
"In trying to close the sex gap in math scores, the reading gap was left behind. Now, our study has found that the difference between girls' and boys' reading scores was three times larger than the sex difference in math scores," Geary says.
The researchers say girls' higher scores in reading could lead to advantages in admissions to certain university programs, such as marketing, journalism or literature, and subsequently careers in those fields. Boys lower reading scores could correlate to problems in any career, since reading is essential in most jobs.
"The gender gap in reading gets less attention in the media than the gender gap in maths," Stoet says. "Yet there was not a single country in which boys exceed girls in reading. And crucially, amongst boys and girls at the lower end of academic performance scale, the gap is not only greater, it is growing.
"What's critical is that we have identified that there is a relationship between the maths gap and reading gap. In countries where the reading gap between boys and girls is small, we see a larger gap in maths, and vice versa. What this means is that it's not just a question of focusing on closing the gaps in maths, as research shows there is a trade off between this and reading.
"There are obviously immense difficulties in closing both gaps, and this is something policy makers across the world need to address when considering intervention strategies and how best to allocate resources to improve performance and participation."

"Too weird to live, too rare to die"
Buckle up. I've been reminiscing about the good old days quite a bit lately.
Writing does that to me. Moving probably doesn't help either. And trying to fill in the gaps with the Muse has been a big part of that as well.
It's been an interesting saga, these last 14 years. I tell these stories, these snippets of my life that happened and even I have a hard time believing them. I can't imagine what those around me must think. I've come to understand, in a visceral sense, how Neal Cassidy must have felt. Always around it. Always driving the bus. And always just on the outside.
It's a lonely place there. Not quite part of the actual world that's told in On the Road, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Hell's Angels and the other books where he appeared. And not quite believable to those who weren't there.
The infamously almost famous.
Somehow I wonder if that's why I write. If that's why I am so hell-bent upon writing the stories of my life. To prove to myself that they happened. As if writing them down makes them somehow more real. Less legend. Less myth.
Which my stories must surely be now. Mythological tales. When I tell the stories, I'm invariably asked by my students — even those colleagues who believe the stories — why I would ever stop. Few of them believe me. (I know this because every once in awhile, they will do a little research and track me down with a "oh shit" conversation.) Why would leave and come back to Kentucky. Or move to Indiana. To the questioners, the people who dream as I did once of something larger, my answers are hollow.
They are to me at times too, although less so these days. Mostly.
But it's hard not to remember these stories, to tell these stories, without a bit of melancholy, knowing these days are gone:
- The first story I ever wrote, in Louisville, I met Jim Carroll and Hunter S. Thompson. Carroll invited me up to his room to watch an interview with PBS. At 3 in the morning. He had a briefcase. What was inside is still a mystery.
- Years later, while writing a story about the World's Longest Outdoor Sale, while dabbling in things that are best not written about, I faxed a series of bizarre requests to Thompson.
- I once had a job interview that consisted of me moving office equipment out of the office before the sheriff's could bolt the doors.
- William Gibson told me that he didn't use email because he didn't trust it.
- My third day at Wired, I showed up with swollen hands from a fight the night before; the only fight I've been in where I was entirely justified. My editor asked me what happened. I said, "You don't want to know who you just hired."
- After the final Napster trial, I got drunk with the entire recording industry's legal team; I berated them all for destroying the fabric of the Internet.
- I nearly came to blows with Liquid Audio CEO Gerry Kirby after the first Future of Music Coalition summit because I publicly mocked his assertion that digital rights management (DRM) was good for consumers; I was still hung-over from the previous nights party. This was written about by other reporters. Despite all of that, I was also right.
- I once had a sword fight in the middle of the street in Austin, somewhere around 4 am. I also found out that you can quite easily pierce furniture with a blade.
- I can tell you definitively that random gun fire does not rouse the cops in Texas. I will not tell you how I know this.
- I have spent, on several occasions, days hanging out with bikers; on one such occasion, my photographer threw up on a Jehovah's Witness. A few days later, I threw all of our stuff out of the hotel room and convinced said photographer we had to flee. Immediately.
- I met Jimi Hendrick's parents in Seattle while on my way to see Jim Carroll, several years after our first meeting; I did this when I walked through an interview with them on the anniversary of their son's death. I got sidetracked and hung out with one of the MC5s. I was in no condition to do any of that.
- Jim Rose and I, on my first freelance assignment, spent a large part of the interview discussing which one of us was still the drunkest.
- I once told the CEO of Ticketmaster he was "full of shit" for claiming they worked for consumers during my time at Wired and then went to an acquisition party the company threw; I was thrown out. I was also correct.
- You can be knocked out by a head butt.
More than melancholy, though, it's weird to start committing all of this to paper, committing all of it to circles outside of my writers. Out of context it's bizarre. Hell, it's probably bizarre when it's in context.
The thing that I can't explain, though, is there was a controlled burn to the insanity. Not that I knew where it was going to end (although I knew where it might). Not that I didn't do awful things along the way that, if I could, I would take back in a second.
But there was a plan.
I have always tried to understand writing viscerally. When I went through my Hawthorne phase, I filled my apartment with black lights so that there were weird lights and shadows everywhere. I took pictures using only black-and-white film. When I discovered Fitzgerald, I began to dabble in the decadence of places I didn't fit in, which included showing up to a wedding in ripped jeans, a do-rag, biker books and a leather jacket. When I moved to Thompson and Kesey and Robbins, I went dove headlong into the wild existence of life on the fringes. With David Foster Wallace, I've spent very public time in the very dark places.
The waves of my life are laid out on my bookshelves.
It's life as writer. Which for me is the only way I know how to understand writing. To understand the words. To understand the rawness of what exists underneath those words.
From the outside, I can only imagine how it looks. I have never been on the outside of it. I've always been on the bus. Driving to Woody Creek. Through the darkened forest, broken by the wisps of sunlight glinting off my glasses. Thinking. Always thinking. And looking for Daisy.
Until now. The last 15 months. Sober and terrified that there was nothing underneath the stories. But I found something, which for most people would seem inconsequential. For me, it's meant everything.
Sitting in the cafes, working on my books, finding — after all these years — my own voice in my words. I look back on that other life, that decade of searching. And I wonder if I would have found that voice without it all. Or whether I just lost 10 years of searching.
I honestly don't know. But as I sit here in Indiana, watching the sun go down while I write, I get the sense that the isolation is good for me. There are no expectations in solitude. The truth is as it was. The events happened as I remember them.
And there's nobody that I need to convince that they did. No naysayers who survive by trying to discount everything around them instead of searching on their own.
And when I got there, to that place of solitude, my voice was waiting.

Picture this. You are a doctor who thoroughly enjoys treating his patients but somewhere yearns to innovate something that can make diagnosis and treatment easier as well as improve the lives of his patients.
It first appears to be two different tasks by two entirely different persons — a doctor and a medical device innovator — but here we are talking about someone who is switching between both these roles with an impeccable perfection.
Making strides in the field of medical device innovation is Dr Jagdish Chaturvedi, a medical professional cum innovator who has co-innovated 16 medical devices so far, with an objective to meet incredible dearth and need for indigenous medical device innovation in healthcare.
Dr Chaturvedi, 30, is an associate consultant in ENT at Apollo Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore and director of clinical innovations and partnerships at InnAccel Acceleration Services, which makes him a unique entrepreneur or ENT(ear, nose, throat)preneur in his case.
In a short period, Dr Chaturvedi has gained a reputation among Indian medical device researchers for his insight into a wide array of clinical issues that need attention.
Born and brought up in a middle class family of doctors in Bangalore, the young doctor-cum-entrepreneur spent his formative years in a hospital campus that fostered a scientific temper in him right from a tender age. He completed MBBS from Sri Siddhartha Medical College, Tumkur in 2007 and MS in Otorhinolaryngology
(ENT) from St John's Medical College and Hospital (SJMCH), Bangalore in 2011.
It was during his second year of postgraduation training at SJMCH when he came across a misdiagnosed case of cancer of the larynx in a patient that the seed of medical device innovation was sown in his mind.
Disappointed by the long undiagnosed state of that patient by other doctors, he went on to invent a low cost portable multi-endoscope recorder, called ENT Multiscope Recorder [EMR]. This invention is considered as one of the top 30 technological innovations in the country, evaluated from over 800 technologies and was awarded the DST – Lockheed Martin India Innovation Gold Medal Growth Programme Award for the year 2012.
Dr Chaturvedi's first innovation attracted the attention of his mentors, who urged him to explore the possibility of venturing into medical technology on full scale. However, the universal entrepreneur dilemma of bootstrapping funds for an innovation hit Dr Chaturvedi too. But the setbacks only made him more inclined towards medical technology.
So to hone his interest further after his initial stint with developing an indigenous device and to learn the process of medical device innovation through a formal programme, Dr Chaturvedi interned at Stanford India Biodesign Fellowship Programme in 2012. During the fellowship, he co-innovated several medical devices with different teams, which are now at different stages of development and manufacturing.
From there on, Dr Chaturvedi continued his pursuit for identifying the medical technology needs and materializing his ideas into tangible devices with the help of engineers and designers. Navigating the challenging process of medical device innovation, Dr Chaturvedi is now immaculately dividing his time between his clinical practice and innovation as well as mentoring and guiding other clinicians who are willing to be a part of medical device innovation.
Dr Jagdish Chaturvedi told India Medical Times, "I continue to stay involved as a clinician and work as an ENT surgeon. This helps me relate to unmet needs and helps me understand them better. At the other end, the innovation platform helps me solve these needs at the same time. This is the main reason for the belief that a clinician must be involved in both domains to develop novel solutions. Being in just one domain — clinical or innovation — would simply do injustice to the other."
According to Dr Chaturvedi, the biggest impetus to his career as an entrepreneur came when he was given the responsibility of director of clinical innovations at InnAccel.
InnAccel is believed to be India's first medical technology acceleration company dedicated to support startups and entrepreneurs developing innovative medical devices and diagnostics for India and emerging markets. It provides a platform for clinicians without having them to discontinue their clinical duties, along with engineers, designers and business graduates to collaborate and develop novel and affordable medical technologies. Dr Chaturvedi works for three days in a week for InnAccel while keeping his medical career alive at the same time.
A common preconception about medical device innovation among doctors is that a physician-in-training has to compromise with his clinical practice in order to devote his time in the process of medical device innovation. There exists a large swath of doctors who don't have the time, patience or passion for medical device development despite their curiosity to innovate.
Laying to rest all the predetermined notions that medical device innovation is traditionally an engineer's bastion, Dr Chaturvedi said, "Doctors have the best understanding of the clinical need and the realistic perspective on how it may be solved. Therefore the doctor's involvement has to be right from identifying the right problem, directing the right solution, concept generation, providing supportive information and testing the new solution. They cannot be merely feedback providers. They need to be involved in the capacity of a co-inventor, clinical advisor or medical director. They need to be involved for 4-6 hours every week till the product reaches the patient."
A doctor who has an expertise in a clinical specialty and is technologically literate has an ability to be an innovator and work with other technical and business resources to drive new medical devices development. As much as the concept generation is important to this whole process, it is obviously essential to get the right development team.
"There are fellowships and entrepreneurship programmes, like Stanford India Biodesign and Affordable Innovation in MedTech (AIM) for medical device innovations that clinicians can join to be a part of teams that include engineers and designers," said Dr Chaturvedi.
He further said, "Lots of engineers and designers want to develop medical devices and they may be freelancers or a part of for-service companies that offer design and engineering services. There are many public grant programmes available that doctors can apply to and raise funding to hire or outsource these services. Engineers and designers are now stepping out of their corporate jobs and are willing to form startups in the medtech space and they are looking for clinicians to collaborate. Nowadays there are many medical technology groups on social media and organisations such as InnAccel that support medical inventions, where engineers and designers can be found easily."
For any physician willing to be a part of medical technology growth, Dr Chaturvedi has few advices to offer from his own experience, "I would advise them to start building a network of engineers and designers and keep 4-6 hours in a week available to give their inputs to them. It is therefore important to be involved as a co-inventor and an advisor in return of a small equity. This will ensure incentive to contribute and allow opportunities to have publications and personal recognition and growth," he said.
"Doctors must look for medical device startups once a month on a simple Google search to see if any company is working on a product in their field of expertise. Doctors must be a part of local communities; Stanford India Biodesign and InnAccel communities are available on Facebook and LinkedIn. Doctors can add themselves on InnAccel's mentor network so that startups can reach out to them. An annual medtech summit is conducted in Delhi every year in December. This is a great place to meet all those who are involved in medical device innovations," said Dr Chaturvedi.
He said, "If a doctor has an idea then he or she can patent the idea online as a provisional patent on the online portal. After which the doctor can apply for the Biotech Ignition Grant funded by the Department of Biotechnology, Canada Grand Challenges, Wellcome Trust grants, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Indo-US Science and Technology Forum and Echoing Green's Fellowship grants."
"Doctors can also look for innovation challenges such as the CAMTech Jugaadathon or hackathons that happen once or twice every year in India," he added.
Dr Chaturvedi is also passionate about mentoring doctors to generate their interest in innovation by actively delivering talks at seminars and conducting workshops at continuing medical education (CME) programmes.
Some of the novel devices Dr Chaturvedi co-innovated during his fellowship at SIBP are — abdominal paracentesis device, epistaxis controlling device, thoracocentesis device, liver biopsy device, nasogastric insertion guide etc. Since his association with InnAccel, he has been a part of the mechanical CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) device, VAP (ventilator-associated pneumonia) management device and ICP (intracranial pressure) management device.
Nowadays, Dr Chaturvedi is busy working on two inventions — a low cost, easy to use nasal foreign body removal device and a low cost paranasal sinus dilator that will allow an outpatient sinus dilatation in patients with chronic sinusitis. Both the devices are designed to suit the needs of patients in rural settings.
Today, the medical device ecosystem in India is more conducive for doctors to divide their time between clinical practice and medical device innovation. There has been a great transformation in the last five years in knowledge sharing between doctors and engineers. While doctors are great at identifying clinical needs, engineers are the experts on solving problems. Together, they become just about the perfect ingredient needed for a medical device innovation.
Doctors can do their bit to free India from importing 75 per cent of non-country-specific medical devices at exorbitant prices by tapping various opportunities available to invent new medical devices indigenously. Their contribution in innovation can truly revolutionize both medical care and technology in a country like ours where quality healthcare still hasn't reached a sizeable population.

Over the last few years, I've become a little addicted to taking photographs of my four littles together. I just LOVE a good backdrop! The children even suggest backdrops they think would be good for a photo now too, they love to be involved
Looking back over the last year, I can see how much my photography has improved.
I really wish I had invested in a DSLR when James was born. It would be my one piece of advice to new parents;
Take those photographs, start a blog or a diary and record all those memories.
We are human, and we forget.
But when we record our thoughts with pictures and words they can bring back vivid memories and huge smiles.
What is your favourite backdrop?

Sixteen years ago producer Joe Richman and Radio Diaries produced a series of first-person self-portraits of teenagers. And some of them have recorded new diaries which are airing on All Things Considered, and we're bringing you the originals all this week.
Today, we're going to hear from Juan, who immigrated to America with his family from Zacatecas, Mexico. His mom and siblings waded across the Rio Grande, and Juan followed later, crossing the river over a bridge. His dad was the first one to come over, and so was already here as a migrant farm worker. They all settled just a few hundred feet from the river so the Rio Grande is this constant presence in Juan's life, and it is a central character in his diary, too.
You can find out more about what happened to Juan on NPR's All Things Considered. They are playing his new diary as part of "Teenage Diaries Revisited."
Maybe you have a story: go to Cowbird, where Radio Diaries and NPR are searching for a new generation of diarists. Tell someone you know to tell their story.

For those who are in a relationship, Valentine's Day is a day filled romance, gifts and love. For those who are single, the day may feel sad and lonely and anything but romantic, which is exactly why we created the indulgent Soul Mate Burger: a massive masterpiece for those who want nothing more than to eat their hearts out.
"Since Valentine's Day is on a Friday this year, we really wanted to do something for those who were left without a special date. It's not a night to think about calories or impressing someone, we've made it a night to enjoy a really good burger and have a little fun while doing it," said owner Paul Barker.
Made with the single (and lonely) in mind, the double burger is topped with crispy bacon, three extra cheesy fried mozzarella slices, cheddar cheese, lettuce, roasted peppers and topped with a creamy ranch chipotle sauce served alongside a helping of extra crispy French fries ($15.99) For those who do have a date, we aren't discriminating. Ask for double a serving of fries and an extra bun because the burger is large enough for sharing between two people.

Through "NoWall us", we do not become friends by procuration. We recover the pleasure of meeting each other, of discovering each other. We empower our Humanity, simply guided by our intuition, our instinct.
We do not meet people by accident. They are meant to cross our path for a reason
When was the last time you experienced the pleasure, the wonder of discovering the beautiful nature of a person who, at first sight, would never be of the faintest interest to you, a person who would never meet any of your expectations in life?
When have you been in a situation where you had time and had the desire to meet and talk to somebody? But nobody could read your mind, nobody could know that you wanted to meet somebody, and therefore nobody could come and talk to you.
"NOWALLUS" is meant to create a world, a global village, a global game where the residents, the players will have the tool to send a message that they are ready to meet, to shake hands, to hug, to smile to somebody and other players will have the tool to receive the message and will reply by joining the game.
It is like placing a panel over your head with the message:" I am here and is there anybody who would like to share this moment and this spot with me?" BUT, the big difference with the panel is that you are not appearing in person, you do not give any clue about yourself. The person who answers your message by coming to meet you, to have a conversation with you, can only be guided by her (his)intuition, her(his) instinct: a sort of game of chance to realize that intuition is not chance but certainty.
"NOWALLUS" is for those who are ready to play the game, to trust their intuition, to pick up the bottle dropped into the ocean by some stranger and meet this stranger, without having any clue about him or her, to create a unique moment of mutual discovery.
We are somewhere connected beyond any classification, any social community, culture, race, religion, gender, age,… beyond any wall.
"NOWALLUS" is to give all of us a chance to create a better world where individuals are meeting other individuals, just for the sake of discovering each other, knowing that they have in common the simple desire to meet, without any other expectation, without any self-interest.
Incoming No Wall us Meetings
Often you have to rely on intuition.
The only real valuable thing is intuition.
I believe in intuitions and inspirations…I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am.
At times you have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.
It is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover.

President Obama is in New Orleans today, "his first post-inauguration visit" to the city. Obama will be there for approximately four hours and will visit "the only school to reopen in the Lower 9th Ward since Katrina, conduct a town hall at the University of New Orleans" with Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA), and "grab a to-go lunch order from Dooky Chase."
BBC's Newsnight program reported that the "Obama administration had already told the UK government it would soon announce a substantial increase to its military forces in Afghanistan." The White House immediately disputed the report. The administration is still considering sending fewer troops than requested by Gen. Stanley McChrystal.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said yesterday that "he's not ready yet to support sending additional troops to Afghanistan." "Afghanistan has not been a successful venue for many great powers in the past," Hoyer told reporters, adding that he had "reservations" about whether the Afghan government "can create confidence within its people."
Most of the Arctic sea ice will be gone in a decade, according to newly released data. The Arctic Ocean will be "an open sea." One researcher explains, "This could lead to flooding affecting one-quarter of the world's population, substantial increases in greenhouse gas emissions from massive carbon pools and extreme global weather changes."
The Pentagon is fighting to secure the funding for its propaganda arm, the Information Operations program. The office requested $361.4 million more than it actually needed earlier in the year. "I just don't like the idea that the military is in the propaganda business," Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) told the press. "I don't like it."
"Almost nine months after the Obama administration took power, more than half of the 33 highest-level Treasury Department posts are still vacant." "Eight nominees are awaiting confirmation hearings before the Senate" while the administration still needs to "select or formally nominate candidates to nine more top-level positions." "It's a major concern," said congressional expert Norm Ornstein.
President Obama will push Congress to provide $250 payments to 57 million veterans, seniors, and disabled people next year, in an effort to offset the impact of there being no cost-of-living increase in Social Security payments. "These payments will provide aid to more than 50 million people in the coming year, relief that will not only make a difference for them, but for our economy as a whole," Obama said.
Three of the five members of the Nobel Committee reportedly had objections to the Peace Prize being awarded to President Obama. The Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang reported that it had "spoken to a number of sources who confirmed the impression that a majority of the Nobel committee, at first, had not decided to give the peace prize to Barack Obama."
And finally: President Bush finally has a Blackberry. Twitter founder Biz Stone revealed the news and posted a picture of himself with the former president, writing, "[W]ill tweets be next?" Unfortunately for Twitter users who have enjoyed following former Bushies like Karl Rove, Dana Perino, and Tony Fratto, the former president "has no plans of tweeting."

(This will start a 2-Week Free Trial - No Credit Card Needed)
After learning days of the week, colors, and numbers, one of the early vocabulary lessons is family. A straightforward lesson, aside from memorizing the Spanish words and phrases, students should practice associating these new words within meaningful or familiar contexts. While of course students can use the vocabulary to discuss their own families, another effective strategy is to have students pick a famous family and use the vocabulary to describe this family's members and relationships.
The following example storyboard demonstrates this method. Have students select the spider map template and use members of their own family! Students can pick themselves or one member of the family to place in the center. Each branching cell should include a different family member and the title block should have the appropriate vocabulary term as related to the center family member. In the description blocks, it is helpful if students place the family members' names for easier grading.
The chart below includes some of the most common family vocabulary, though it can certainly be expanded.
|Family Vocabulary
|el padre
|la madre
|el hermano / la hermana
|brother / sister
|la abuela
|el abuelo
|la tía
|el tío
|el primo / la prima
|el hijo / la hija
|son / daughter
|el nieto / la nieta
|grandson / granddaughter
Grade Level 6-12
Difficulty Level 1 (Introducing / Reinforcing)
Type of Assignment Individual
Type of Activity: Visual Vocabulary Boards
