Developing a working knowledge of the negotiating or mediation process is essential to mastering the art of negotiations. Understanding the issues at hand and the participants gives you the foundation to establish a strategic plan. Knowing what you need to achieve rather than what you may want establishes the base line parameters for your strategies.
Take the time to prepare adequately so you know your material, the facts, your opponent, and your needs and wants. Only then are you prepared and ready to engage in a settlement conference.
Without a plan, knowledge is of limited value. Knowledge becomes a powerful negotiating tool when it is used to develop a strategic plan. Knowing the value structure of a transaction is important but be sure to consider non-monetary aspects of the discussion. What may have little tangible value for you or the other person may have immense emotional or intangible value. Such intangible issues often are more important that the dollars and cents being discussed.
Knowledge is more than just knowing facts; it includes understanding the import of each element if the issue, problem or opportunity.

We fell pregnant after one try. Leon and I had been together for eleven years and we felt ready to bring another person into the picture. We talked about homebirth but booked into a nearby hospital because at the time, we didn't feel confident enough to birth our first child at home. We didn't expect that we'd end up having what we consider to be our ideal birthing experience – at home, in a birthing pool, with a peaceful, grounded atmosphere and no intervention.
I was sure I was pregnant within a week of conception. My period wasn't due for another week but my breasts were tender and I felt an overbrimming of love. For perhaps the first time in my life, I looked at my body in the mirror with a deep appreciation and admiration. I was at peace.
I was exhausted in my first trimester. And nauseas. In my second, I felt alive and radiant, ready for action. I'd been doing Shadow Yoga for two years and kept up a regular practice until I was five months pregnant. As the third trimester progressed I felt huge. Walking was a strain. I switched to a very gentle form of pre-natal yoga and it felt wonderful to be in a room full of other expectant mothers.
We had ultrasounds at a private clinic at 7 weeks, 12 weeks and 20 weeks. I attended standard appointments at the hospital from 18 weeks onwards. At each appointment we saw a different midwife or obstetrician and though they were lovely, the policy-driven environment didn't gel with us. I never quite felt like I could be myself there.
We decided not to do antenatal classes but at 35 weeks, we attended a one-day partner's workshop on active birth, run by my pre-natal yoga teacher. It covered gentle movement for birth and encouraged a conscious, connected attitude to birthing. The workshop helped Leon and I realise how well we communicate with one another. We met a couple there that had a beautiful homebirth experience with their first child and were about to birth their second child at home.
Vaginal Swab for Group B Strep (GBS)
In accordance with the hospital's recommendation, I did the vaginal swab for GBS at 36 weeks. I tested positive and was informed that if my waters broke, I'd have to present at hospital for induction and be put on an intravenous antibiotics for the duration of the birth. The information was relayed to me in a nonchalant manner with a student midwife present, which made me uncomfortable. I asked if there were alternative options to antibiotics and was told I'd be putting my baby at risk if I didn't follow hospital policy.
After the appointment I immediately started a natural treatment for the bacteria and began researching extensively on the risks involved in birthing with a possible GBS infection. After weighing up the risks, Leon and I decided we didn't want to bring Vienna into the world on antibiotics. We also wanted to avoid induction unless the situation was truly dire.
The Switch to Homebirth
The hospital's policies on GBS and the way the situation was dealt with at my appointment was an alarm bell for us. And every time we read over our birth plan, Leon felt he was going to have to be a warrior, defending me from unnecessary intervention. Two of our friends who had birthed in the same hospital recently had been told they'd needed an episiotomy but declined and went on to have tear-free births – I started to feel like I'd freeze whenever an obstetrician came near me.
One morning I woke up at 5am and started Googling local homebirth practices. By 10am I'd spoken to a midwife and by 12pm we were sitting in her clinic chatting to her. It felt right.
The midwife was happy to support our homebirth as long as there were no signs of complications. We discussed the risks of GBS transmission and infection, and talked about possible scenarios for transfer of care to hospital. We'd transfer if my waters broke before I went into labour, if I had a fever during labour or if there were any abnormalities in Vienna's heart rate.
We left the clinic feeling we'd be able to make informed choices that aligned with our values. We sat with it for a few more days, then booked the homebirth in and cancelled our hospital booking.
Not long after, our midwives came to our house to talk about what kind of birth we'd like to have and to map out the set-up of our space. I love being in water, so we opted to hire a birthing pool. None of us knew then that just 3 days later, I'd be in labour.
Meditation and Connectedness
For around two and a half years Leon and I had been attending classes that focused on meditation, visualisation and oneness of spirit. The classes encourage following intuition, fostering a relationship with higher self and living in the present moment. Since the classes began, we had grown to embrace the natural, divine ebb and flow of life. The knowing we'd gained helped me to allow the process of birth to unfold in a centred, peaceful manner.
On the 9th of December I woke up and felt that I must get a manicure, pedicure and have my legs waxed. I went to a day spa near our home and came out feeling pampered and extremely relaxed. I spent the remainder of the day resting.
At 7am on the 10th of December I was conscious of having something that felt like period pain, though I was asleep. It died down after a few minutes but returned about 10 minutes later. After about 4 rounds of these waves, I woke up fully. I timed the next two rounds and they were 8 minutes apart. I went to the toilet and there was some light pink fluid left on the toilet paper. I called our midwife to let her know, then stuck my head into our home studio and told Leon I was in early labour so he better finish off the design work we had due that day – very quickly!
I hadn't had Braxton Hicks contractions and we had been convinced that Vienna wouldn't arrive until Christmas, when our design work for the year would be finished. We hadn't set anything up for the homebirth yet. I texted our friend Alexi and asked if she'd buy some towels, a cushioned mattress protector, a hot water bottle and some orange juice.
I spent time resting on the couch while Alexi and Leon set up the living room. The birth pool was inflated and the mattress protector was put down over the hardwood floor so I could kneel if I wanted to. Sometimes one of them would just sit with me or come and put a hand on my lower back.
After a short time Alexi left and Leon and I spent the next few hours together. He lit candles and put soft music on. As the contractions got stronger we intuitively started using the movements from our active birth class. I swayed gently, rotated my hips and breathed slowly. Leon lifted my belly with a rebozo. He applied counter pressure to my lower back during the surges and we walked around the house slowly. My focus was also on resting and letting go between each contraction. We spent a lot of time connecting through eye contact and just being present with one another.
Leon stayed in regular phone contact with our midwife to update her on what was going on. By 3pm the contractions were intense and frequent. Labour was established. At that stage, Leon's touch began to feel too intense. He sat on a meditation cushion nearby with his legs crossed and I felt his presence as strong and secure, even though he wasn't right next to me.
Transition and the Birth
From about 8.30pm I started feeling a downward pressure on my bowels. Contractions were incredibly intense and I found the best position to be kneeling with my elbows propped on the couch. After each contraction I gave Leon a thumbs-up, then rested on cushions and listened to the inner voice that was encouraging me. I kept hearing the word 'progress'. The whole time I felt conscious of what a beautiful empowered experience I was having.
Our midwives arrived and entered the space peacefully. They checked Vienna's heart rate without me having to change position. They didn't offer internal examinations or give advice; they just sat on the floor and let me keep progressing as I had been. Their presence felt grounding and comforting. A few times I noticed them exchanging soft smiles.
I had been happy labouring on the ground but getting into the birthing pool changed everything. The weightlessness was welcome and the warmth made me relax. I knelt with my knees wide apart and rested my arms and head on the side of the birthing pool. With each contraction the downward pressure intensified. After a few minutes, I felt a pop between my legs like a champagne cork. My water had broken.
I held one of our midwife's hands for a few contractions and then she whispered in my ear, 'Let the baby come'. I looked at her and said, 'OK'. She gestured for Leon to come and sit in front of me and he held both of my hands. It was about 10pm. It had felt natural to be silent throughout the labour until that point but as I felt Vienna's head start to move down, I began making sustained, otherworldly sounds beyond my control.
With each contraction I felt Vienna's head moving further down and a stinging sensation spread across my perineum. The pressure of each contraction started to feel like a huge release. The midwives shone a torch into the water to check our progress and said we were doing well. I breathed as slowly as I could. It was 10.20pm. As the next contraction came I felt Vienna's head and then body slide out of me with force.
I looked at Leon and said, 'That was awesome'. He quickly jumped into the birth pool and held Vienna for a moment before handing her to me and then to our midwives. After a few minutes they all helped me move onto the couch and wrapped me in towels and blankets.
I often replay the feeling of Vienna being handed to me for the first time – her warm skin on mine and how tiny she felt.
The umbilical cord was clamped and after about fifteen minutes, our midwives helped me stand up and told me to push gently. My legs were shaking and I couldn't feel any of my muscles. They kept encouraging me to push but I couldn't. I think gravity did the work because the placenta dropped into a container, ready to be refrigerated for encapsulation.
My midwife inspected me and said I had a small second-degree tear but it did not need to be sutured and that it would heal itself within 6 weeks. And so it did.
I had some of Leon's homemade bread with some dates and almond spread, and held Vienna while Leon and the midwives cleaned up the space and deflated the birthing pool. Then they helped us all get ready for bed before leaving for the night. We slept with the low, warm light of a salt lamp on so we could see Vienna whenever we wanted to.
We put a lot of energy into preparing for the actual birth, mentally, physically and spiritually. I'm not sure we could have been prepared for the initial complications that arose with breastfeeding. I assumed everything would run smoothly and naturally. As Vienna lay on my chest for the first time I was conscious that she wasn't making her way toward my nipple like I'd read often happens. Our midwives helped me to get her latched onto my breast but she didn't feed for long. I made several attempts throughout the first night to feed her but didn't have much success.
On the morning after birth our midwife returned to check on us and look over Vienna. She told us that Vienna had a significant tongue-tie that might need to be released if feeding didn't improve. Leon and I decided to wait because we didn't want to have Vienna go through an unnecessary medical procedure.
Our midwife is also a lactation consultant and during her visits on the following days she gave us further support with feeding positions and latching. I tired the best I could but by the fourth day Vienna had lost more than 10% of her birth weight and our midwife suggested we take immediate action to release the tongue-tie. We got into to a nearby private clinic close to our home and had the release performed. We were diligent with feeding but my milk was slow to come in and over the next few days Vienna hardly gained any weight.
We didn't want to use formula because all our research had shown the incomparable benefits of breast milk. Our midwives went about securing some donor milk from recent homebirth mothers and helped us develop a plan; I would breastfeed Vienna first, then Leon would give her a top up feed with 60mls of donor milk from a bottle while I did an extraction with a hospital grade breast pump we'd hired from a chemist. It felt stressful and the plan meant that we weren't getting much sleep but it was the best course of action for helping Vienna gain weight.
As well as our midwives, our Chinese medicine practitioner was a huge support to us in the first week. My milk supply was low and he gave me regular acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine for support. He also advised us on diet and passed on recipes for post-natal stews that Leon could make for me.
When we could no longer get donor milk we made the decision to supplement with a biodynamic formula until Vienna's weight had increased. We wanted to keep breastfeeding and our midwife helped us use nipple shields and a supply line to increase Vienna's time on the breast.
I also spent a lot of skin-to-skin time in bed with Vienna, with low lighting and no visitors. I'd emailed my pre-natal yoga teacher who's also a doula and she'd recommended lots of readings on being a newborn mother, all of which recommended retreat and alone time between mother and baby.
Once Vienna's weight had normalised, our midwife advised we start decreasing the supply line and then weaning off nipple shields. I love breastfeeding now and feel glad that we stuck with it even though it was a big challenge. Our midwife does recommend beginning to extract breast milk from 36 weeks during pregnancy – I'll be doing that next time.
Postnatal Life
Just before Vienna was born, one of our design clients, sent us an email saying, 'Enjoy this, the very best thing about life'. Vienna is 4 months old now. Our focus has been on creating a gentle, joyful home environment. She is laughing and smiling, sleeping pretty long hours at night and every second with her feels like a blessing. We reflect on the wonderful experience of birth often.

Peggy and I are in Lincoln NE. We are in the middle of a family situation. If you read my other blog you will get the story.
I wanted to connect with someone I could trust in case it was needed so the phone call to Barry was really worthwhile. He connected me with a man who is in the process of a Church plant in Lincoln. Word of Life Church.
We went. It was like old home week. I sat down next to a guy who I knew. Lee Veilselmeir. He owns a nursery west of Lincoln. There were about 50 people there. All set up and tear down every Sunday. The pastor is Larry.
Larry preached fine. But his heart is that of a Pastor. He's about my age. Maybe older. And he's about to be ordained. WOW. This gave me hope.
Something they do on line now in the LCMS. This is his fourth career. Good move Missouri.
We have been part of 3 church plants. They are hard work and can be discouraging. But they are energizing. A person is in the middle of a blank sheet of paper in formation.
Now, what made this so wonderful is this is an LCMS plant. Yet, it looks like for all practical purposes exactly like every other church plant I have been part of.
The music was words on a screen. The leaders was 3 singers, keyboard, drums, guitar, bass and us. Very wonderful. They sang the same songs. The same spirit. The same freedom. I know it grates on the days of OLD but what works today is not found in the format at the front of a hymnal. It's freedom in worship, expression and ministry to needs. The word of truth proclaimed. I have blogged on this before. The future of church in this century is freedom and transparency.
Pastor Larry got up, not eloquent, transparent. Humbly in love with Jesus and inviting us to come along.
Then in the middle of all this, there were prayer requests. One was for Brandon who our nephew Luke's best friend. That he had lost his best friend and would be pray for him. It was amazing how small a world we all live in.
I have to admit, as much as I enjoy the work of the ministry in renewal for a large church, I do miss the raw unfettered energy of a church plant. Doing it out of whole cloth. No rules. No board. Just Jesus and the lost world.
And there is one other thing. A church plant will typically reach more unchurched and lost people than an established church can. I don't know why. But it's true.
I just don't know if I have the energy to set up and tear down every Sunday again. Who knows? I'm busy now, but the open frontier calls sometimes.

Around the Kitchen Table
By India Howell, Founder
Thanks to the recent leadership transition, I have more time (and energy) to spend late afternoons cooking, allowing me to launch the Mama India Dinner Party Series. A fun new twist on spending the evenings with my kids and it is so much fun! Yes, I have always eaten dinner with the kids living in my house, but now that most of these kids are away at college, I have more room around the table and am able to invite different age groups over from various houses for dinner a few times each week.
Growing up in a family where meal time was sacred, few things feel more like "family" than the simple act of sitting down and sharing a home cooked meal together. However, now I realize why my parents made eating together such a priority — it is amazing how much you can glean about where a kid is "at" over dinner. I am able to share special moments with my kids where they really open up and reveal all kinds of hopes, dreams and worries.
Early in my new Mama India Dinner Party Series, I learned that Geriki and Neema Safari had decided to run for Class President at Oldeani Secondary School. Next time they came to dinner, they had both won. Yes, this meant cookies with Nutella for desert to celebrate! I also discovered that the Chemistry teacher at Oldeani Secondary is a super-star who loves teaching so much that ALL of my kids now love Chemistry. And who knew that Sharifa was trying out being a vegetarian? Or that Helena had left the shy teenage girl years behind and has since become a great conversationalist? However, perhaps the most important thing I have learned is that if there is enough cheese acting as a disguise, I can get my kids of all ages to eat any kind of vegetable!
And now I must brag a bit. Without exception, after every one of these dinners all of the kids jump up to help do the dishes. Granted a few seem to have named themselves in charge of entertainment during this process rather than drying duty! We put on the music and gab, laugh and sing through the chore that ultimately does not seem like a chore at all because it is actually fun! After 15 years of barely boiling water, the idea of cooking for large groups of kids seemed daunting. But remembering that hungry teenagers will eat just about anything, combined now with the amazing memories I have already built with my kids during the Mama India Dinner Party Series, I can't wait to have them all around the table again.

This week I attended the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Winter Meeting alongside RMS' chief research officer Robert Muir Wood. RMS recently joined the CGI and is working to develop the programs that the company will enact to effect change, known as CGI Commitments.
Robert was invited to give a kick-off presentation for the "Response and Resilience" breakout session, where members and prospective members from a wide range of backgrounds –corporations, non-profits, and NGOs – came together to discuss pressing problems in the field.
To set the tone for the conversation, Robert discussed risk mapping and underscored how important understanding risk is to resilience. After all, to be resilient is to be resilient to something.
While there are many ways of defining risk, one way of thinking about it is:
Risk = Hazard x Exposure x Vulnerability
As Robert explained, mapping risk is a way of communicating information. By conceptualizing risk, we can evaluate it and determine how to minimize it.
With that in mind, the Response and Resilience track participants broke into groups to discuss case studies ranging from Hurricane Sandy to floods in the Sudan and Syrian refugees in Jordan. Attendees were asked to consider topics such as
- How to improve response to similar events
- How NGOs and the private sector can collaborate more effectively
- How organizations on the ground can take advantage of real-time risk data
While the case studies up for discussion were diverse, a few common themes emerged:
- Community Engagement: In the first few days immediately following a catastrophic event, help from governments and large organizations is hindered by processes and logistics. First response is very localized – neighbors help other neighbors, local emergency services often operate while cut off from central organizations. Engagement at the local level is important to improve ties among community members and provide training so that neighborhoods can react appropriately in the case of a catastrophe.
- Networking: With improved networking, community members can help each other more effectively and outsiders can more easily determine how to assist. Many people now take to social media during crises, posting information about trouble areas, linking to resources for fellow victims, and even calling for rescue when trapped. People are using technology to connect beyond their communities. During Hurricane Sandy, people took to Amazon's gift registry to fulfill desperately needed requests. Donations were tied directly to actual needs, not made based on assumptions of victims' needs.
- Preparation and Incentives: Preparation is key to mitigate the damage of everything from natural disasters to the effects of political conflict. However, many simply don't understand the risks at play or don't want to take on the burden of steeling against potential disasters. For this reason, incentives to encourage preparation are crucial. They can take many forms, from financial to social.
Conversations at the CGI Winter Meeting, including those during the panel moderated by former president Bill Clinton at the end of the day, demonstrated just how important the topics of risk and resiliency are to the world at large.
RMS' work with the CGI will continue to take shape as we work toward the goal of creating a safer and more resilient society.

Body art for breast cancer awareness
October 21, 2010
When it comes to health, we often look at all the wrong things.
Good advertising has a way of showing you a new perspective, to rethink what the really essential things in life are.
The Challenge
About 1,100 women in Singapore are found to have breast cancer each year.
80 per cent of women are aware of breast cancer screening but only 41 per cent actually go for it.
It seems that women are more preoccupied with other perplexing things in daily life: bad hair, an ample behind, or even a troublesome acne breakout.
Getting people to see the significance of breast cancer screening can mean the difference between life and death.
The Idea & Execution
There's a brilliant insight that led to our campaign.
If only we could get women to fuss over breast cancer as much as they do with their other body parts.
We took to the art of body painting, where life's other bothersome things were beautifully illustrated to draw attention to where it really matters: the breasts.
It called for a huge dose of imagination, and a huge amount of Kryolan grease paint applied on a female model's upper torso.
The visual was arresting. It drew upon issues women were naturally drawn to.
And then pointed to a far more significant issue about breast cancer screening.
The Results
Within just 3 days of release, the campaign had been featured on over 40 websites around the world.
The mainstream media also got a piece of the action, as The Straits Times featured it as an exclusive. It even went Down Under to make the pages of the Sydney Morning Herald.
A strong insight and some artistic depiction brought to life a sensitive issue. Now, that's really an appreciation for the arts.

- CHM files corrupted in 1.9.545
|11/18/2011 12:17 pm
After updating to 1.9.454 some of the captures I've made with older versions now become corrupted (layout destroyed, pictures missing) when exported as CHM. I've never had problems with this before. Any way to fix it?

|I have uploaded an Inquiry backup of some of these files, including corrupted chm files made from them, here:
|11/18/2011 04:54 pm
|I've discovered that it's not only captures made with older version but also the same pages captured with 1.9.545 that are affected. And it's not all pages on daz3d, there are problems with, some are OK when exported to chm.
But there are also problems with some pages on other sites. This one for example goes completely blank when exported to chm:
|11/18/2011 05:01 pm
The page I linked to above is actually OK, the problem was the "%" in the filename which the Windows CHM reader apparently don't like...
|11/18/2011 05:28 pm
Here's a test capture of a checkout page from renderosity.com. The captured page looks fine when opened in Inquiry, but when exported to CHM, it becomes corrupted:

|We fixed it. The problem exists on https (secured) pages only. In 1.9.454 version exporting such pages was changed, this is the reason your problem with Inquiry. I'm sorry. We plan to release next Inquiry about a week.

|Andrey, two weeks ago you said that you hoped to release a new version of Inquiry in about a week. Do you have any more news about when the new version will be available?
|02/04/2012 06:32 am
There's still a problem with CHM export - it works fine now if you export a single file as CHM but if you select multiple files and export them into a single file all but the first one are corrupted.
BTW, would be nice with an option where you can select multiple files and export them as separate files instead of putting them all in one file.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Hearing Tarkantor proving his opinion right, and the timer down to 00:27, Kohan knew he had to take action. He rushed to both of the cables, and grabbed them. "I hope we are right, and we won't get blown up." Kohan said before he lashed out with his knife, cutting the cords in two. Kohan prayed to the emperor this was the right choice......
|Farseer Darvaleth
Tarkantor saw the words on the wall, confused by the logic puzzle. Looking at the timer, he saw 30 seconds.
Kohan shouted that it was something to do with red and gold, and Tarkantor entered warpsight. The red and gold wires shone out with the power of the Emperor, the rest twisted and full of Chaos.
"Cut them both! Both of them need to be cut at the same time!" shouted tarkantor in reply, confirming Kohan's theroy with psyhcic knowledge.
"Do it!"
Kohan read the bloody letters on the wall, and pondered about the left out words. The emperor...throne "Golden" Kohan yelled, "The word that's left out is golden! But chaos lies so... red saves the others...and gold saves us.... What if we cut both at the same time?" Kohan asked the others. He looked at Tarkantor and asked:"What is your opinion on this? You are psychic, so you must know if chaos is lying here. Please hurry."
Kohan looked at the wires, and found the red one. It was in the right side of the chamber. He searched the golden one, and found it running through the middle of the room. "We need a conclusion NOW, or we will all die!" Kohan said angrily. He waited for others to respond....
On the wall was blood. It spelled:
The corpse god protects,
from his ... Throne,
Which wire will you pick?
The ... will save the others,
Red will only save you,
Or does chaos lie?
The grey knight travelld through the warp once more this time he pursued his old brother.
|Farseer Darvaleth
Before anyone could answer Kohan, Tarkantor appeared in a flash of light in the centre of the room. Everyone looked round to see what had happened.
Realising they needed an explanation, Tarkantor shrugged.
"Got taken away by a Grey Knight and put through a load of annoying challenges, lost warpfire, but now I know I didn't kill my parents. If I hadn't been faithful to the Emperor, I'd be dead and I would still blame myself for my parent's death. I guess faith could be used here too."
Glancing around the room, Tarkantor noticed loads of high explosives attatched to the walls and ceiling of the room, all hard-wired to a central interface, which displayed a timer. It displayed two minutes.
The back of the interface had been ripped off revealing a bundle of coloured wires, ranging from red, black, yellow, and brown. But there were too many even for an expert bomb speacilist to defuse in two minutes.
"Anyone here good with bombs?" shouted Tarkantor, "We don't have much time...and how did you guys get in this mess in the first place?" then, with a grin, "I'm gone for five minutes and you're all stuck in a bombed up room with no escape. Typical."
Noticing the terminators were also in the room, Tarkantor shut his mouth and continued scanning the room for anything that could be used to their advantage.
|Kohan was in a room full of cords, and he almost tripped over one of them. "Watch it!" Kohan yelled at the other soldiers. "This room is booby trapped, there are marines at the other side, but I can't see them clearly enough to see if they are holograms or not. Any suggestions?" he looked around to each of the soldiers. Kohan was quite nervous, as he saw the time bomb counting down. He would've liked to shut it down, but he had absolutely no idea how to. Kohan looked at the wires, and they all looked the same. It confused him. "Maybe we should get the hell out of here, whatcha think?" Kohan asked the others, then he waited on a reply....
The grey knight sparked in a electric fire that engulfed the two pyskers and Tarkantor flashed. He was gone.
Tarkantor appeared in the room with the time bomb. The timer was now on 3 minutes, the others looked over at him. The other room was full of activity as the two terminators searched for a way out of the situation.
|Farseer Darvaleth
Tarkantor looked up as the daemon rushed closer...closer...closer...the warpfire failing him in the face of the servant of the one who "gifted" him with it. Suddenly, the gry knight stepped in, slashing the daemon and binding him to the cage again.
Tarkantor felt the presence of the daemo lift, as well as something else. He no longer felt the guilt of his parents death, for he saw the truth in the eyes of the daemon. It was Tzeentch who had tried to corrupt Tarkantor, and even at his early age he had resisted. In anger, Tzeentch burned the house but saved Tarkantor and gave him warpfire, to make him wrakced with guilt. Now he saw, and his loyalty to the Emperor was re-strengthened and made invincible.
He may have lost warpfire, but he had gained faith, and with faith, anything was possible. He rose as the grey knight commanded him.
"What must I do?"
|The grey knights blade swung through the air and cut the daemon. Forcing it back into the warp cage with his mind. He watched the pysker laying on the floor. Only a warp dabbling heretic could have won that fight. The pysker evidently wasn't tainted. "now we save your friends. I sense danger."
|Farseer Darvaleth
Sensing that his end was nigh, Tarkantor thought he may as well damage the daemon as much as he could.
As the Daemon rushed forward, Tarkantor summounded his powers and unleashed bolts of warp energy at the Daemon, but to little effect. Powering himself with Warpspeed, Tarkantor swung the metal blade towards the daemon in a mighty arc, which it barely felt.
The daemon knocked Tarkantor back to the floor, causing his head to whirl. Tarkantor crawled forward and unleashed another bolt of warp energy, but again no damage was caused. Feeling his hatred for the daemon, Tarkantor began summoning Warpfire.
As the Wapfire built inside him, the daemon rushed forward, untill it was almost on him...and the Warpfire dissiapated. Tarkantor had lost the power of Warpfire;this was his punishment for temptation; temptation he had narrowly resisted many years ago, when Tzeentch made him a sorceror and the Warpfire killed his parents.
But now Tzeentch took it back.

I visited Tokyo with my parents at the same time last year. We visited the statue of Lord Buddha, named Ushiku Daibutsu.
Ushiku Daibutsu is a statue located in Ushiku, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. Completed in 1993, it stands a total of 120 metres tall, including the 10 m base and 10m lotus platform. As of 2016, it is one of the top three tallest statues in the world.

I paid another visit to the Calas Galadhon sims today. One of the owners, Tymus Tenk's profile describes the sims as "a 'SHOWCASED' '9sim public PARK ESTATE.. bringing the beauty of our natural areas into Second Life".
The estate is my usual first choice for the more relaxed photos that I take plus the landscapes are really pretty.
I visited the Glanduin part of the estate today and I have added the SLURL at the bottom of the blog. I'm also currently sat in the sim enjoying the views whilst I gather inspiration for the blog.
My top is from Grixdale and I bought it in the stores Valentines Day Sale for about $50L (I think) which is a bargain I think you'll agree.
The skirt was in last weekends Super Bargain Saturday for just $60L and is lovely and floaty with the bow detail on the side.
Finally my necklace is available in the current Fashion Garret (TFG) event and I thought it glammed up the otherwise casual look. The necklace was only $50L and there's a nice selection of goodies for you to snap up 🙂 TFG LM over there ————>
I think I am getting over my Valentines addiction to the colour pink with some more muted looks, at least for a few days.
Top: Grixdale {Heather Tops} – Ruby
Skirt: Absolution – Miya Skirt Beige

The torture-house run by Gina Haspel in 2002 was code-named "Cat's Eye" (Adam Goldman, New York Times, March 13, 2018), evoking images of the Orwellian poster that haunted Winston Smith in 1984 ("Big Brother is Watching You") and of the Ministry of Love and Room 101. At this site (before Haspel ran the prison), a Qaeda suspect by the name of Abu Zubaydah was water-boarded 83 times. A medical officer recorded the beginning sessions of Zubaydah's "water-cure":
"The sessions accelerated rapidly progressing quickly to the water board after large box, walling [slamming prisoner against wall], and small box periods. [Abu Zubaydah] seems very resistant to the water board. Longest time with the cloth over his face so far has been 17 seconds. This is sure to increase shortly. NO useful information so far…. He did vomit a couple of times during the water board with some beans and rice. It's been 10 hours since he ate so this is surprising and disturbing. We plan to only feed Ensure for a while now. I'm head[ing] back for another water board session.[i]
A common thread in discussions of "enhanced interrogations" by our politicians is the widespread assumption that the times after 9/11 were a "dark period" in our history, an aberration, an exception to our usual humane treatment of prisoners of war, political prisoners and even common prisoners.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
From the time of the arrival of the first conquistadores to the shores of the Americas we have been torturing, raping, maiming and killing war combatants to our heart's content. From the writing of Bartolomé de las Casas' Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indies (1542) to the publication of Dee Brown's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (1970), we have been documenting our barbaric behavior. Here is Brown's brief account of the death of the Apache chieftain Mangas Coloradas:
They were heating their bayonets in the fire and touching them to Mangas' feet and legs…. Both sentinels promptly brought down their … muskets to bear on him and fired, nearly at the same time, through his body….
When Mangas fell back, the guards emptied their pistols into his body. A soldier took his scalp, another cut off his head and boiled the flesh away so that he could sell the skull to a phrenologist in the East.[ii]
In 1902 William Howard Taft, head of the US Commission charged with organizing a civilian government in the Philippines after the end of the Spanish American War, testified before the Senate Committee on the Philippines. More honest and candid than our present government officials, Taft acknowledged the routine use of torture in the suppression of the Filipino nationalist insurgency:
That cruelties have been inflicted; that people have been shot when they ought not to have been; that there have been individual instances of water cure, that torture which I believe involves pouring water down the throat so that the man swells and gets the impression that he is going to be suffocated and then tells what he knows, which was a frequent treatment under the Spaniards, I am told—all these things are true.[iii]
During the 20th century, the United States maintained and supported a number of bloody dictators throughout the Americas (Somoza in Nicaragua, Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, Batista in Cuba, Pinochet in Chile). During the Cold War, an entire generation of torturers was trained to carry out US policy in Latin America (see Costa-Gavras' film State of Siege from 1972). Nobel Prize winner Harold Pinter has left a nightmarish account of US imperial rule:
The Americans have been exporting torture for years. They have been teaching torture techniques to military representatives of various dictatorships at Fort Benning in Georgia for a very long time. Fort Benning was called the School of the Americas but was actually known as the "school of torture." They practice it themselves at home, in the vast gulag of prisons across the United States, where over two million people are held in custody, the majority black. Restraint chairs, where convicts are strapped and left naked in their own urine and excrement for days, the use of gas and stun guns, the random brutality, the systematic rape and abuse of young men and women—all of these things and more an affront to human dignity—are common practice…. That is the nature of the beast.[iv]
The period of torture of suspected enemy combatants after 9/11 was simply the latest chapter in a history of bloody and cruel practices that continue unabated in our days. Torturers like Gina Haspel are merely loyal servants of the beast—members of its "water detail."
But we are worshippers of the beast. In our Christian faith we have an example that teaches us that torture victims immediately gain moral superiority over their torturers. But we are too busy buying and selling, flouting the mark of the beast on our foreheads, and the "number of his name" (KJV, Rev 13:17).

WILLINGBORO � Costs are mounting for the mold remediation at the high school.
At Monday�s meeting, the school board approved the use of $700,000 in surplus to help cover the estimated $943,692 in remediation costs. To date, the district has paid $593,692 in invoices related to the work.
The money has been paid to 11 companies that helped clean the building so that students could return to class. The work included air quality testing; duct cleaning; repair to the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems; replacement of ceiling tiles; and textbook cleaning.
After the meeting, Superintendent Ronald Taylor said the district is still negotiating with companies on an estimated $350,000 in additional costs beyond the amount they bid.
The district provided the public with a list of costs paid to date.
�We�re just trying to be transparent,� Taylor said.
According to an audit presentation Monday by Kevin Frenia of Holman and Frenia of Medford, the district had no audit issues for 2010-11. It went into the 2011-12 budget year with $5.4 million in surplus, of which $1.2 million was not designated for use in either this year�s or the 2012-13 spending plan.
Frenia told the district that based on the size of its $65 million budget, it is required by state statute to carry a $2.2 million surplus.
The district will use $700,000 of the $1.2 million undesignated surplus to cover the mold remediation costs. Taylor said the district also hopes to receive $200,000 in reimbursement from insurance and state grant money.
Board member Martin Nock questioned why the district was carrying so much surplus.
�Are we budgeting too much?� Nock asked.
�You have to have a fund balance (surplus),� Taylor said after the meeting. �It helps you build your budget for next year.�
The district originally estimated that the mold remediation would cost about $500,000, but Taylor said expenses mounted as more work had to be done to reopen the school.
The district was using maintenance funds to cover costs, but now will transfer surplus money to pay for the work.
�It doesn�t strap us or put us in a bad situation (using the surplus funds),� Taylor said. �We couldn�t go into the winter with no maintenance (funds).�
The school was closed from Sept. 12 to Nov. 14 after mold was found. A report from an environmental consultant said that in some areas of the school, air quality tests in September revealed that mold spores were up to 400 times the amount found outside.
Exposure to mold can cause irritation of the eyes, skin, nose, throat and lungs, as well as allergic reactions.

The note read, "I am a girl who has a big spirit and soul. No one knows how I am and how I feel because I have a different heart." I wrote this to my mother when I was eight years old. To this day, my mom and I have never addressed the note.
I invite you to join me in taking a look at these different versions of myself. I too am unfamiliar with them. There are versions of myself I have locked away, and others I have chosen to actively grow with and into. Sometimes I look back on things I've thought and things I've seen. I'm not sure if the current me could think those thoughts or see those things. My line of vision has changed. I can no longer see the world through those eyes. I watch myself unravel, still unable to connect with this familiar stranger time and time again. I'm exhausted, but I keep pushing.
In all its chaos I forget to come up for air. And that's when I see the conundrum. My personal voyeur, now comforted and clear, contrasts with the dark and uneasy senses that have overtaken the people around me.

Starting from the experience of trauma
The Mayor's £45 million Young Londoners Fund is supporting young people from across London to engage in positive and meaningful activities.
Mental health and wellbeing support is a key part of the Young Londoners Fund, with organisations like New Horizon Youth Centre embedding this into their delivery.
Many of the organisations being supported focus on young Londoner's mental health and wellbeing, including New Horizon Youth Centre who write about their work below.
Supporting young people affected by trauma at New Horizon Youth Centre
Too many of the young people affected by serious youth violence have been a victim before becoming perpetrators, experiencing unsafe housing, poverty and a childhood of trauma. Our Youth Outreach Project, supported by the Young Londoners Fund, helps young people in addressing the impact of early and ongoing trauma by prioritising their mental and emotional health needs alongside housing, safety and employability.
Through our day centre and outreach services, New Horizon Youth Centre offers a 'one stop shop' seven days per week, working with young people aged 16-24 to improve their health, economic circumstances and find somewhere that they can call home. As part of our work, in the last seven years our Youth Outreach Project has supported over 2,000 young people affected by serious youth violence.
Integrated mental health provision
We know that the young people we support struggle with poor mental health, often as a response to their life experiences. Most have suffered complex and multiple trauma in their still young lives, with many having been the victim or witness of violence and abuse from early childhood onwards. As a result, the young people we see tend to have post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and/or depression.
We start our work with those affected by serious youth violence by understanding the young person's experience of trauma, and their difficulties in trusting and relating to other people. We focus on the unmet mental health needs and tackle the lack of relevant provision in the criminal justice system and community. The project offers a range of activities to build a young person's self-esteem and their communication and relationship skills, such as a music studio, workshops, skills development and training programmes.
Maintaining important and meaningful relationships is key, so uniquely we work with parents, siblings and other key people in each young person's life. Facilitated by psychotherapists with expertise in this area, we run a group where these very important people can get help and information, and through which they can meet others in a similar position to develop supportive relationships. As such they can start to feel more resourced, which in turn also benefits the young person.
New Horizon cannot and does not do this work alone. We are committed to delivery and sharing best practice in close partnership with a wide number of statutory and non-statutory agencies across London. We have strong relationships with local authorities, probation services, London prisons, Integrated Gang Teams and voluntary sector providers, working also on joint cases and making mutual referrals.
One such key partner is Third Eye Psychology, who are enhancing the support we can offer in custody settings and the community. As such the young people can access therapeutic support, more easily, from a clinical psychologist and psychotherapeutic practitioners who are part of the team, in addition to our counselling services at the centre. This gives consistency to young people in being able to get specialist help to address their trauma, get a better understanding of ways of dealing with emotions, and to start to feel more positive about their future.

Continuing from the previous post regarding the condition of the United States at the time Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith regarding information about plates on which is recorded information about a people of this continent and land and from whence they sprang.
The United States in 1823, at the
time Moroni visited Joseph Smith. Four countries: Russia, Spain, Britain and
Canada held territory of the future U.S. at the time
addition to the United States in 1823, we need also look at the term
"continent" at the time Moroni visited Joseph Smith. As has already been
reported in this blog, when Moroni visited Joseph Smith in 1823 with the first
of his instructions, he said, "He called
me by name, and said unto me that he was a messenger sent from the presence of
God to me, and that his name was Nephi.
That God had a work for me to do, and that my name should be had for good and
evil, among all nations, kindreds, and tongues; or that it should be both good
and evil spoken of among all people. He said there was a book deposited written
upon gold plates, giving an account of the former inhabitants of this
continent, and the source from whence they sprang" ("History of Joseph
Smith," Times and Seasons 3 no. 12, 15 April 1842, 753;
"History of Joseph Smith From the 'Times and Seasons'," Millennial
Star 3 no. 4, August 1842, 53; name Nephi erroneously recorded).
we consider this continent as North America, which is the
planet's 3rd largest continent, and includes 45 countries overall—including all
of the Caribbean and Central America countries, Bermuda, Canada, Mexico, the United States of America, as well as Greenland—the world's largest island. It is almost exclusively
located in the Western Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere. However, in
Joseph Smith's time and at the time Moroni visited Joseph, the "American
Continent" was the entire Western Hemisphere, made up of both North and South
America plus all the adjacent land, including Greenland.
Prior to World War II it was
generally accepted by all map makers that there were five continents: Europe,
Asia, Africa, America, and Antarctica. Not until World War II did the U.S. began to
demand that North America was a separate continent
in 1823, all of America was considered one continent, The American Continent, and
so labeled on maps from 1507 (Martin Waldseemüller map, Universallis Cosmographia secundum Ptholomaei
traditionem et Americi Vespucii aliorumque lustrationes) and taught in American schools up until the Second World War
(Martin W. Lewis; Kären E. Wigen, The Myth of Continents: a
Critique of Metageography, Berkeley: University of California Press,1997, ISBN 0-520-20742-4, ISBN 0-520-20743-2).
While it might seem surprising to find North and South
America still joined into a single continent in a book published in the United
States in 1937, such a notion remained fairly common until World War II. By the
1950s, however, virtually all American geographers had come to insist that the
visually distinct landmasses of North and South America deserved separate
It might
be of interest to know that once Europeans crossed the
Atlantic, they gradually discovered that their threefold continental system did
not form an adequate world model. Evidence of what appeared to be a single
"new world" landmass somehow had to be taken into account. The
transition from a threefold to a fourfold continental scheme did not occur
immediately after Columbus, however. First, America had to be intellectually
"invented" as a distinct parcel of land—one that could be viewed geographically,
if not culturally, as equivalent to the other continents.
to Eviatar Zerubavel, professor of Sciology at Rutgers University, and the
author of Time and Life Maps, this reconceptualization took
nearly a century to evolve, in part because it activated serious
"cosmographic shock." For a long time, many Europeans simply chose to
ignore the evidence; as late as 1555, a popular French geography text entitled La Division du monde pronounced that the
earth consisted of Asia, Europe, and Africa, making absolutely no mention of
the Americas. The Spanish imperial imagination persisted in denying continental
status to its transatlantic colonies for even longer. According to Walter
Mignolo, "The Castilian notion of 'the Indies' remained in place up to the
end of the colonial empire; 'America' began to be employed by independentist
intellectuals only toward the end of the eighteenth century." Yet by the
early sixteenth century, the Portuguese cosmographer Duarte Pacheco and his German
counterpart Martin Waldseemüller had mapped the Americas as a continent. While
cartographic conventions of the period rendered the new landmass, like Africa,
as distinctly inferior to Asia and Europe, virtually all global geographies by
the seventeenth century at least acknowledged the Americas as one of the
"four quarters of the world."
As this brief account suggests,
accepting the existence of a transatlantic landmass required more than simply
adding a new piece to the existing continental model. As Edmundo O'Gorman has
brilliantly demonstrated, reckoning with the existence of previously unknown
lands required a fundamental restructuring of European cosmography. For in the
old conception, Europe, Africa, end Asia had usually been envisioned as forming
a single, interconnected "world island," the Orbis Terrarum (The World or The Earth).
The Orbis Terrarum, the first true Modern Atlas, written by Abrahanm
Ortellius and originally published on May 20, 1570, by Gilles Coppens of
Antwerp who published 53 maps under this title. The works were considered the
summary of 16th century cartography
The existence of another such
"island" in the antipodes of the Southern Hemisphere—an Orbis
Alterius (Alternate World)—had often been hypothesized, but it was assumed that it would
constitute a world apart, inhabited, if at all, by sapient creatures of an
entirely different species. Americans, by contrast, appeared to be of the same
order as other humans, suggesting that their homeland must be a fourth part of
the human world rather than a true alter-world. Thus it was essentially
anthropological data that undermined the established cosmographic order.
In the long run, the discovery of
a distant but recognizably human population in the Americas would irrevocably
dash the world island to pieces. Over the next several centuries the
fundamental relationship between the world's major landmasses was increasingly
seen as one of separation, not contiguity. In 1570 Ortelius divided the world
into four constituent parts, yet his global maps did not emphasize divisional
lines, and his regional maps sometimes spanned "continental"
divisions. By the late seventeenth century, however, most global atlases
unambiguously distinguished the world's main landmasses and classified all
regional maps accordingly. Thus, the Greek notion of a unitary human terrain was disassembled into its constituent continents, whose relative
isolation was now ironically converted into their defining feature.
the possibility of an Orbis Alterius was never again taken seriously, the
boundaries dividing the known lands would henceforth be conceived in much more
absolute terms than they had been in the past. Even as the accuracy of mapping
improved dramatically in this period, the conceptualization of global divisions
was so hardened as to bring about a certain conceptual deterioration.
It is almost humorous to see that
at the present time we find numerous Land of Promise theorists who are
embarking on the same transition of accepting a time when the North and South
American continents were considered one continent, and Moroni's comment of
"this continent" could possibly have included the entire Western Hemisphere. Their rejection of this idea is almost ironic as we compare it to the rejection of a new fourth part of the world for more than two centuries in European thought as shown above.
However, Church leaders have not
had that difficulty. Time and again they have expressed their opinion that the
Land of Promise extended to the entire North and South American landmasses, and
the Western Hemisphere overall.
(See the next post,
"The United States as the Land of Promise –Part III," for more on the role of
the U.S. in the Land of Promise, and specifically the many comments made by
Church Leaders regarding the location of the overall Land of Promise)

Yes, distracted by the twittersphere again… a new person I'm following posted a neat little poster listing six strategies for tutoring / studying. What? The secrets, revealed??? With videos at http://www.learningscientists.org/videos ??
!. Use concrete examples to understand abstract ideas ("concrete examples")
2. Combine words & visuals ("dual coding")
3. Explain & describe ideas with details ("elaboration")
4. Switch between ideas while you study ("interleaving")
5. Practice Bringing Information to Mind ("Retrieval Practice")
6. Space out your studing over time ("Spaced Practice")
I notice that the videos put Spaced Practice front and foremost (as in, if you don't do this, the rest of the strategies won't work so well).
I also notice that math is included, once, as background in the "switch ideas' video. I rather strongly suspect that many students who'd readily apply these strategies to the kinds of content featured in the videos (history, psychology, science) would not entertain most of the strategies for math. I wonder about tutors, too…
Hmmm… I think I want to make a new version with a little bit more diversity at several levels — the speakers & the content… naw, less diversity — make it math 🙂

How long have you been a DJ?
Why is it so difficult to hire a DJ?
With a wedding or an event there are tangible items such as a cake, flowers, food, locations, etc. A DJ is kind of a mystery -- Will they play good music? Will they show up on time? Do they have a good music selection? How is their equipment? These are difficult questions to answer unless you can get recommendations from other friends or family.
What makes you different from other DJs?
I am not an over the top, salesman type of guy. When people go to a party they are there to hear a great selection of music and to enjoy a well-planned event. I don't do line dances, or force people to dance. I try to avoid the usual suspects in songs and just play great music.
Are you an agency?
No. People hire me because of my ability to read a crowd and play music that you don't hear at every wedding or party.
Any advice on hiring a DJ?
Get together with your DJ and chat about what you want from your DJ. You need to feel comfortable with whomever you hire. Speak with their recent clients or go see them in action.
Do you ever have a "meet and greet" meeting before you get hired?
All the time! People want to know that they can get along with their vendors. I think this is the best way to know if everyone meshes well with each other.
How many times do you meet up with your clients before the DJ job?
It all varies -- everyone has a different comfort level. I like to meet up with couples a few times before their wedding. Weddings are all about pre-production. The more I know about the event my client wants the easier the job will flow.
Are you wedding planner?
I'm more of an event coordinator. I work with the couple getting married to figure out what they want and work out a timeline with them. I rely on my vast experience to suggest the best flow for the formalities. I speak with all the other players involved before the event and give them a copy of the Wedding Program. Everyone needs to be on the same page so the wedding rolls along flawlessly.
I am a professional music recording engineer and have recorded and mixed hundreds of commercials, television shows and films. My website for my "other life" is www.scoringmixer.com.
What kind of packages do you have?
I have my hourly rate with a five hour minimum. I don't charge for set up or break down time -- just music time. The wedding system is most commonly a flat rate rental on top of my hourly.
Do you advertise?
Very little. 80% of my work comes from word of mouth and referrals. It is difficult now that there are a huge numbers of DJs online. The problem is that many times you don't know what type of DJ you will get until the day of the event -- and then it is much too late.

Plenty of little firms are flourishing throughout the whole world. With all the attempts with the entrepreneurs, these firms are now flourishing and which has a couple of far more promotions training room rental singapore, they might be capable of achieve their level of competition, even the massive types.
Starting up a business will not be that extremely hard. If you hold the drive, the fervour and also the endurance, you way too could start your own organization from scratch. Loads of workers from everywhere all around the earth were being able to stop their jobs and begin their own individual companies.
Certainly initiating a business requires more than simply the support, but which is a begin. Once you have an item or even a assistance in your mind – that might be your initial phase. The remainder follows, for example your manufacturer identify, your brand and also your tagline. Besides these essential prerequisites, you will should take into account these aspects also: your workforce, your funds, your machines along with your headquarters.
Among these factors, one that is taken into account very important is your business's headquarters. Determining the best location may be hard; lots of businesses currently come across this really not easy to accomplish. The location is an important factor in making certain the achievement of the small business, which is why it is crucial that you discover the right just one. An office environment house is vital for the reason that this is where you will entertain your customers.
In the event you lease a standard office room? Indeed, if you could pay for it. But for your new business, this isn't truly possible. A distinct option is often a assembly room rental. These days, a lot of tiny enterprises can operate effectively via assembly areas. Renting a meeting place is important for new and smaller organization, and below will be the reasons why:
one. To point out professionalism. In business, very first impact usually lasts. So when you satisfy a client or even a likely companion for the 1st time, you'd want them to have a fantastic perception of you. This isn't attainable when you carry out your meeting at home. It will never search excellent if you provide your private home handle along with your cellphone variety for that assembly. A meeting house for lease is the perfect put in your case to impress your client or your spouse. You are able to pick from conference rooms, to board rooms, to government suites.
2. To aim on the function. Any time you conduct an occasion, you would want everything to go efficiently. When you get it done at home or inside a coffee shop, you'll have hassle concentrating on your presentation as a consequence of excessive noise within the background. When you employ the service of a gathering place, you won't have to stress about audio-visual devices, guest's refreshments, world-wide-web connections, etc. Almost everything are going to be delivered to you, this means you basically must target on your own presentation.

Identifying viable study sites presents a challenge in many clinical trials. Biosimilar development is especially challenging as the number of sponsors preparing to broaden access to today's blockbuster biologics, by providing lower-cost biosimilar alternative, continues to grow. While this flood of research activity will make a significant improvement for patient access to breakthrough treatments, it has also created an increasingly competitive environment for finding suitable, experienced sites.
Compounding the issue, physicians are often less interested in supporting biosimilar studies, preferring to engage in clinical trials involving novel targets and compounds or those being conducted by larger academic institutions. Additionally, the level of education and training regarding the established development process for biosimilars is generally low. To overcome these hurdles, Covance has expanded its strategy to help sponsors find qualified sites and investigators willing to provide reliable clinical evidence. Continue reading
