Exchanging healthcare data is much harder than it should be. Redox solves this problem while accelerating digital innovation in healthcare. We help power solutions in diabetes management, cancer treatment, care coordination and more. And we need your help!
Come help us set healthcare data free!
As technologists, we have the power to facilitate something magical in the delivery of health care—that intimate moment when providers can harness insightful data, coupled with their medical expertise, to discover a solution for the patient. That's the moment when technology can shine—as a graceful background accompaniment to an empathetic patient experience, helping providers perform better.
Healthcare organizations are tasked with increasingly complex decisions about which technology they'll adopt. To provide the best outcomes, everyone needs to work from the same data. When data doesn't integrate between providers and technologies that make data more useful, providers aren't the only ones who suffer from that inefficiency. Patients are missing the tools they need to manage their own health. Integration challenges between critical and innovative software applications inhibit healthcare experiences.
Redox provides an elegant, secure, and highly-scalable solution that eliminates these technical barriers. Join our battle cry to fight inefficiency as we invigorate the patient-provider relationship. Be part of the healthcare revolution and help us set the data free!View Job Openings
Tackling healthcare interoperability requires commitment from our whole team—not just a commitment to solving technical problems, but to supporting each other as we navigate those challenges together.

"When I first joined Redox, I was fresh out of undergrad.…I've grown from a timid developer to the tech lead of a small team. I was able to accomplish many things—not just because Redox allowed me to grow—but because Redox helped me to grow."
When I first joined Redox, I was fresh out of undergrad with majors in Computer Science and Mathematics. I was thrilled and honored to be given this opportunity to be a part of a team that I knew was going to make a big difference.
On my first day, I was still excited, but the excitement had also turned into absolutely overwhelming anxiety. Within the first few hours, it became clear to me that every developer here was brilliant. Like, holy crap they know so much and here I am having just graduated college and I know absolutely nothing.
Let's be clear — I was half right. The engineers here are brilliant. But, I also did know a few things. Throughout my past almost two years here, I've gotten support every single day to improve. No "wow I can't believe you didn't know that" comments. At first, I thought that was just because I was the junior programmer in a sea of what I thought were only senior programmers. But then I realized, that it wasn't just something for me—Redox has an engineering culture of teaching and learning, and I was not the only one that was experiencing it.
Today, almost 2 years later, I've grown from a timid developer to the tech lead of a small team. I help with hiring sometimes. I've successfully completed a larger project from start to finish. I have an AWS certification. I was able to accomplish these things not just because Redox allowed me to grow — but because Redox helped me to grow.

"When I spoke with my coach and said 'I have an idea…' it wasn't met with chiding me for the past project [failure]. It wasn't met with distrust, or even unwarranted skepticism. Instead, it was met with curiosity and an honest exploration of the idea."
Early on in my career at Redox I was given the opportunity to work on a project to overhaul how we do persistent queuing. This functionality was of vital importance to many of our services and I was thrilled to be entrusted with its development. To make a long story short, the project was an abject failure for a variety of reasons. All said and done nearly an entire developer-year was spent on a project that ended up in the waste bin.
The aftermath of working on this sort of project is what solidified my trust and confidence in Redox as an organization. When I spoke with my coach and said "I have an idea…" it wasn't met with chiding me for the past project. It wasn't met with distrust or even unwarranted skepticism. Instead, it was met with curiosity and honest exploration of the idea. What followed was a period of rapid prototyping, a frenzy of development and at the end of it all, we had a home-grown queueing system, a patent application and a 12-month transition of all of our core services.
Live Anywhere. Work Anywhere. Create Together.
We provide benefits that allow you to live life by your own design. Redox employees enjoy unmatched autonomy in their work and the support to live a balanced life. We trust you know what you need to be happy, at work and at home.
We want to have the best people at Redox—no matter where you call home. All Redox employees are encouraged to live and work wherever they're happiest. All you need is power, wifi, and a computer and you're good to go.
Take a trip somewhere fun, stay home to recover from being sick, or have a staycation to unplug and recharge—we trust you to know what you need. Our best work happens when we feel fresh and inspired. We leave it up to you to decide when you need to take breaks and encourage you to make time for adventure and discovery.
Working in healthcare makes you understand all the challenges life can throw at you. Your health and dental coverage starts when you do to make sure you're always covered. We provide health and dental insurance for employees, spouses, domestic partners, and dependents, as well as life and disability insurance.
As your family grows, it's important that you're there and have time to figure out what your family's new norm is. You can take 12 weeks of paid time off within the first year of your new addition arriving. We know that they need you and we have your back.
We want you to be able to set up a workspace that allows you to perform at your very best. All Redox employees receive an annual discretionary stipend so you can select what helps you be productive. Whatever it is, we want to make sure you have what you need.
Work from anywhere with other people who enjoy meaningful challenges.
Do something that matters with people who push you to be your very best.
In order to do revolutionary things, we need a team of strong, diverse, mission-focused people. Whether we're physically together or in our own little corner of the country, we are all focused on getting outcomes based on experimentation, data-driven decisions, and execution—and having some fun while doing it.
We are a remote-first company with autonomous employees who act in ways that reflect our values every day. Our team is built on a foundation of trust and respect doing our part to make healthcare better.

That was until I met this girl who was really into BDSM. We had a great time together, but now she has left to work abroad and I don't have anybody to play with. I have come to realize that I am actually addicted to BDSM and cannot cope without in my life. At first I did not know what to do, but then I found the BDSM service here at West Midland escorts of http://www.westmidlandescorts.com.
If you are looking for an escort service in London that offers a little bit of everything, I think that you should check out West Midland escorts. There are plenty of other escort services around and I have to admit that I tried a few before I ended up with the girls here at West Midland escorts services. I cannot really say they have entirely helped me with my BDSM addiction, but they have certainly made me feel a lot better about it. Now I don't worry about it so much. If you like, you can say I have discovered other pleasures as well.
The girls I date at West Midland escorts like to make sure they are as versatile as possible. Since I have been dating them, I have learned about things like duo dating and of the many other fun things you can when you are together. I have not tried a duo date as yet, but I am pretty sure that I will one day try a duo date with the hottest and wildest girls in town. So far, we have been able to find many other things to entertain us if you know what I mean.
At first, I thought it was going too expensive to date West Midland escorts but to my surprise, it does not cost as much as I originally and thought. Do I enjoy it? Yes, I do really enjoy dating the girls I have so far met at West Midland escorts. They run an outcall service and I guess it is just one of the many things I like about the hot babes. It is so convenient to sit down and wait for them to come around to see you.
Is it exciting? I am not sure it is as exciting to spend time with West Midland escorts as it was spending time with my girlfriend. Sure, the girls are okay, but my girlfriend was just amazing she was one of the most liberated girls I had ever met and I still love her to bits. I think that introducing me to BDSM was a very brave thing to do. A lot of girls would not have dreamed of doing so. We had a lot of fun together. I am not sure if we are ever going to get back together, but if she ever comes back from abroad, I would love to see her again. But sometimes it is better to leave things in the past. She has probably got another boyfriend now, and they are enjoying their own BDSM sessions. All I can say that he is a very lucky guy.

31 - Le temps long des rÃĐseaux sociaux numÃĐriques
CÃĐline Bryon-Portet
The freemasonry and the media, between love and hateLe Temps des mÃĐdias n° 31, Automne 2018, p. 27-47.
The freemasonry is a global network that intends to realize a universal chain of union. If its development was facilitaded by the printed book, that diffused its principles, it is however true that the mass media had an ambivalent role towards this network, because they also propagated an antimasonic current. Nowadays, the situation seems to change, the masonic organizations using traditional media and internet in order to give a positive image of freemasons. Social networks, in fact, could contribute to modify the links between the free-masons.

The St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, a federally recognized tribe, has witnessed a remarkable expansion in recent years. It has experienced economic growth made possible by Indian sovereignty and intergovernmental agreement, namely the growth of its bingo and This report examines how one particular Native nation, the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, participates in the economy of New York. It explains how the structural features of Mohawk sovereignty distinguish its economic activity from non-Indian commerce and government, intensifying its regional economic benefits. It documents the remarkable recent growth of the Mohawk economy and tallies the jobs, earnings, and taxes that result from this activity. Most importantly, th is report demonstrates that the remarkable gains the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe has achieved for its people come at no expense to the people of New York. To the contrary, St. Regis Mohawk economic activity provides substantial net benefits to the immediate off-reservation economy and New York more broadly.

A venous leg ulcer or chronic wound is a sore on your legs that takes a long time to heal due to slow or weak blood circulation. A sore can last from a few weeks up to years. If left untreated, the sore can develop into more severe and serious skin conditions. The open wound can cause chronic pain, infection and discomfort for the affected person.
In general, our bodies are blessed with remarkable regenerative capabilities. We are able to recover from most superficial wounds and skin problems through the natural healing process of the body.
In order to heal wounds, blood must be able to flow easily through the circulatory system. Out blood carries oxygen, nutrients, energy and other essential proteins that are required to heal and regenerate tissues and skin cells. Blood also helps in removing dead cells and pollutants from a wound.
If blood flow is restricted to a wounded part of the body, recovery can take longer. If the blood flow is slower in the legs due to problems with the veins or arteries, healing of a wound can take months or even years.
If a wound on the legs takes particularly longer to heal, it can be a sign that the blood vessels are not performing well.
The majority of ulcers in the legs occur due to problems in the veins. The insides of our veins are lined with valves pointing upwards. This makes it easier for blood to flow up, and keeps it from flowing down during the normal beating function of the heart.
Damage to the valves allows blood to flow in the opposite direction, making it difficult to take toxins and damaged cells away from the wound.
These ulcers develop when the arteries do not deliver enough blood to the wounds in the legs, feet and ankles. Arteries help replenish tissues and skin by supplying oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood. When the tissues do not get enough oxygen over a period of time, they start to break down and die. Wounds can develop easily in the dead cells even if there is a minor cut or scrape.
Arterial ulcers can develop on pressure points from shoes and boots when they rub into the ankles and foot.
Leg ulcers most commonly manifest as chronic wounds that take a long time to heal. The wound may feel itchy and the surrounding tissues may become swollen. Common symptoms include the following.
• Drying of skin or a rash
• A brownish discoloration
• Discharge of a foul smelling fluid from the sore
• A redness or swelling of the skin around the wound
• Shooting pain
• A fever
The main goal of ulcer treatment is to improve circulation of blood to the affected area and help the wound heal faster. The following types of treatments are known to be effective.
Antibacterial Medication: These are usually external and applied to the wound. The dressing helps prevent bacteria from accumulating on the wound.
Stockings and Leg Slings: Patients suffering from ulcers caused by venous insufficiency may be told to keep their legs raised when resting to improve blood flow. Patients may also be told to wear compression stockings that helps squeeze the tissues against the veins, improving blood flow.
Surgery: In extreme cases, the doctor may recommend the patient to undergo surgery, Surgery can be used to widen the narrow blood vessels or dissolve blood clots that are blocking the circulation of blood in the body.

Peanut butter cookies, year after year, are rated as one of the top favorite cookie flavors, and for good reason. There are so many different spins one can take on this classic. You can use creamy peanut butter or crunchy. You can leave the dough plain or mix in chocolate chips, nuts, toffee, or at least a dozen other variations. Add in Reese's Pieces, and life just got better!
Its been a while since I've last baked. On a mission to drop a few pounds, these past few months my baking pans have been collecting dust in the cupboard. After all, it is difficult to make weight loss and baked goods go hand in hand…especially when you have a sweet tooth. I mean, how many of us can really stop at just one bite?
This past weekend, though, I decided to break out said poor, neglected pans, and put them to use again.
I'd bought a bag of Reeses Pieces a couple of weeks back with the intent of incorporating them into a recipe somehow. Not sure how best to use them, and knowing they would soon start to disappear if I didn't do something, I started to think.
Plain cookie batter seemed too bland for what I was going for, and I wanted to do something that wasn't too complex. After all, sometimes simple classics are the best. That is when I got the idea of mixing those little bits of yumminess into peanut butter dough. Peanut butter on peanut butter? Ummm…Yes, please!
Peanut Butter Reese's Pieces Cookies are quick and easy to make. Even better, you more than likely already have most of the ingredients in your pantry. The peanut butter dough stays nice and fluffy and doesn't flatten out when baked. Better yet, this recipe is so versatile. If you don't have Reese's Pieces, you can do so many things to suit your taste or what you have on hand.
The end result? A soft cookie with bits of crunchiness and chocolatey-ness that take that classic to another level.
And for anybody wondering… no, I didn't stop at just one.

Freelancing is hard. There isn't a week that goes by that at some point I don't question the career choice.
Archive | Letter from the editor
Happy birthday OWAA
On April 9, 1927, a small group of writers attending the Izaak Walton League of America convention in Chicago decided to form a professional organization for outdoor writers.
More on mentorship
The conservation media world lost two giants at the end of this summer. OWAA members Spence Turner, 76, died Aug. 26, and Michael Frome, 96, died Sept. 4. Many who mourned them called them inspirations, but more importantly, mentors.
Make the most of your membership
OWAA is here to help you promote and sell your work, as well as give you the skills reach new markets.
Writing a success story for OWAA
It seems every week there is another story about how media and communication is changing. Some of these are depressing, another article on layoffs at another esteemed newspaper.
The election issue: Why voting and serving matters
This is the most important issue of OU we create each year. It might not be the most glamorous, or even the most interesting, but it's the issue in which every member can easily help direct the organization's future.
Montana is magical in the summer
As much as I love winter, it often feels like I tolerate nine or 10 months of it, just to enjoy two to three months of incredible summers.
Resolve to let OWAA help you reach professional goals
New Year's is just around the corner and here at OWAA headquarters, we want to help you with your resolutions — at least the ones related to outdoor communication, you'll have to tackle the eating better and exercising more on your own.
New Year, New Editor
By Kelsey Dayton — By the time you are reading this it will almost be time to start a new year.
OWAA headquarters team to add new member
By Ashley Schroeder — The headline of this column could read "Ashley wishes to step back from full-time job duties with OWAA." But instead, I think it should be "OWAA adds to headquarters team."

When a grown man chose to ridicule a woman for breastfeeding her child at a public pool, his mother lashed back at him with a few choice words of her own.
According to People Magazine, Tanja Krstic Radusinovic was recently visiting a public pool with her 9-month-old son when he became hungry. Like a lot of breastfeeding mothers, Tanja didn't hesitate to feed her child, even though there were other people around, and she even used a towel to cover her son as he breastfed. She never thought she would be publicly shamed by a grown man.
Dad Eats Dinner Under Blanket To Support Breastfeeding Moms, Shares Video Of Experience
Olivia Wilde Finally Opens Up About Her Controversial Breastfeeding Photos, 'I Did Not Intend To Shame Women'
Mom Diagnosed With Breast Cancer, Takes Photos Of Her Final Day Breastfeeding Before Treatment
In a now-viral Facebook post, shared by the group "Breastfeeding Mama Talk," Tanja recalled the breastfeeding incident in detail.
"We're at the pool and I'm nursing my son to sleep, under towels so he doesn't get distracted," she wrote. "He is fighting it but almost out and this guy, maybe in his 40s comes to me and says 'excuse me, are you breastfeeding your baby?' I say 'yes?' and he looks at me all serious and mumbles 'I don't think you should be doing THAT here.'"
Radusinovic, a mother of three who lives in Las Vegas, was instantly enraged and was prepared to give the man a piece of her mind, but before she could, the man's mother did it for her.
"Omg. I was about to stand up and punch him in his testicles but his mother stands up right behind him- she's in her 70s, small skinny woman- and she was furious," Radusinovic continued.
"She was like 'WHAT DID YOU TELL TO THAT MOTHER, KEVIN?!' And he was about to repeat it when she exploded- 'what the f***, Kevin?! I had no idea I raised you like that, Kevin!! I am not talking to you until you apologize!! I breastfed you until you were 18 f****** months, Kevin!'
And he says 'But you never told me that, mom!' Then she explodes again 'WHAT'S THERE TO TALK ABOUT, it is F****** NORMAL, Kevin!'"
Radusinovic concluded her post by offering her sympathy for Kevin.
"Then Kevin apologized. It's been 15 minutes and she is still not talking to him. Now I feel bad for him."
Since the post was shared on Facebook on Thursday, August 4, it has been shared more than 8,000 times and liked nearly 25,000 times. While speaking to People, Radusinovic explained why she thinks the post went viral so quickly.

"Too many moms have been shamed for breastfeeding," she said. "Most of my friends are breastfeeding moms, so I guess they saw themselves in it because they've had similar experiences – they've had people telling them to cover up or leave the area. Once I posted it, everyone just went nuts and kept sharing it all over Facebook and Instagram and everywhere."
Tanja also has a message for others about shaming breastfeeding women in public.
"Leave moms alone!" she said. "It's normal. I can't believe that grown-up men – and women – would be offended by a baby eating. If I were bottle feeding, that would never have happened."

Another woman, Eliany Johnson, experienced a similar incident last week while visiting a public Kentucky pool. While she was breastfeeding her child, two employees approached her and asked her to cover herself up. Johnson was shocked and called the incident "embarrassing and demeaning," KWWL reports.
"I've ate at several different restaurants and I have breast-fed my baby at several different restaurants and nobody has ever said anything to me about it… but the one day that I decide to go to the pool where there's females wearing two piece bathing suits all exposed, they have a problem with it and I didn't understand that," she said.
In a response to the incident, the pool said they have a separate area for mothers to breastfeed their children.

Project Description
design: Horst Lettenmayer
In most cases light and colour are what counts when installing a desk lamp. We made the desk in this example to fulfil these requirements.
As a special design, we offer mounting panels with integrated desk lamps based on your plans. The desk lamps can be detached from the connector sockets.
The example from Munich Airport Tower 2 shows a lamp fitted with additional glare protection. The lamps can also provide emergency lighting in the event of a power cut.

There has been a couple of new releases from Adobe lately in preparation for the arrival of HTML5. And the great news is that both these web packages are free downloads. First up was Adobe Edge, which we talked about here, and now they have released Adobe Muse.
Muse is a web package which lets you create rich HTML5 websites without knowing too much code. Much like Adobe Dreamweaver I guess, but the user interface is more like InDesign. Looking at some early videos it does look promising and easy to use. Lea Hickman, vice president of Design and Web product management at Adobe says "Those who have tested Muse are thrilled that something this intuitive yet powerful is now available."
Jason Prozora-Plein, quality engineer at Adobe, raises a good point, he says "people don't hand edit post-script or PDF files for print. In five, ten years I don't think very many people will be coding in order to design websites".
You can download a copy of Muse for free from the Adobe website:
Found via the website Gizmodo
With the advent of HTML 5, which we talked about here before, there is a lot of really cool things happening in website design and development. In order to keep up with trends Adobe have created Adobe Edge.
Edge is a new web motion and interaction design tool that allows web designers to bring animated content to websites, using web standards like HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS3.
Edge will be updated regularly to add new functionality, stay ahead of evolving web standards, and incorporate user feedback to provide the best functionality and experience possible.
Edge has great potential and it should take over Flash for simple to medium projects. However, a lot of people are saying they wouldn't be surprised if it kills-off Flash in the long run.
We've posted about HTML5 on here before. But what exactly is it? HTML5 is to become the new web standard, it greatly reduces the amount of code web-designers have to use when creating and structuring pages. Perhaps the biggest benefit to HTML5 is the fact that it can handle Video and Audio in the browser, so there'll be no need for extra plug-ins.
With the inclusion of video in the browser this may do away with the need for Adobe Flash. Apple have already refused to use Flash plug-ins in its iOS, they say its due to the amount of resources it takes up. HTML5 should bring us rich media content to all our devices.
So there are plenty of new and exciting possibilities with HTML5. And with animation techniques also being introduced it's hard to think that Adobe Flash will be around much longer in its current state. I imagine they will change the output settings, from the standard SWF to something more like Swiffy.
Swiffy is a Google Labs project created by Pieter Senster, who was an intern working on a small project to convert SWF files to HTML5. From this Swiffy was born and Pieter was hired to work on the project full time. Although at this point in time it is still in its infancy it will convert most SWF files, it has however got problems with some Flash content.
You can check out some demos of Swiffy in action on the Google Labs website here: http://swiffy.googlelabs.com/gallery.html
We tried it on our musical Stripeyhorse at homepage and it does work. The music worked too in Safari and Chrome but when we tried it on an iOS devise unfortunately it didn't, However, Google have already said it doen't support all kinds of sound files.
With the introduction of HTML5 I imagine a lot of websites are going to start using it and pushing it to its limits. I can see a lot of websites going down the route of the early flash adopters. When in the mid 90′s it seemed every website was Flash based even when it was very unnecessary to be. But we're looking forward to seeing the developments and the crazy websites which will be published using HTML5. We hope web designers will think of website accessibility when building a website. Customers begin to understand its advantages. Read more here about the benefits an accessible website can give your business.
We really like this website: http://nizoapp.com/ The site is for a new app called Nizo. Every element animates onto screen smoothly as the user scrolls down. All of it done with Java script, so no Flash required. It's a very clever site, allowing the user to then grab and move any object on screen. It's this kind of website which gets us excited about HTML5.

As part of our New Year resolution we wanted to work with more charities, and we have done just that.
First up was Woodview Community Centre. We were contacted to create a branding package for them, developing a new logo which had to reach across their whole brand and the larger community.
Next we worked closely with Craftspace to create a new brand identity and web presence for Shelanu, a craft social enterprise for refugee and migrant women.
We greatly enjoyed working on both these projects, and wish both of them the very best of luck in the future.
To see the Woodview case study go here you can also view the logo/branding and website design.
For Shelanu we created their logo and branding and website design which can be viewed here: http://www.shelanucollective.co.uk/
Craft: A word that might once have conjured up images of frilly pillows, scrapbooks and cross-stitched cats playing with balls of wool. But, as we recently learnt, not anymore.
Thanks to the Birmingham based charity Craftspace, we've spent the last five weeks working with a brand new social enterprise called Shelanu. Designing their branding package with a logo, website and marketing materials meant we were lucky enough to watch their delicately handmade jewellery take shape, which is special in itself. But what makes this group really important is the people who belong to it.
The enterprise is made up of migrant and refugee women. Together, they're a diverse cultural collective, creating intricate, ornate jewellery inspired by their experiences in Birmingham. To celebrate and share that creativity, Shelanu is exhibiting at the prestigious Bovey Tracy Craft Fair at the end of this week. And with these guys, Bovey Tracy better watch out! Not only are they a talented group, they're also vibrant, energetic and fun loving – all the qualities apparent in their sparkling jewellery design.
We think you'll be seeing a lot more from Shelanu – check out their website for more information at www.shelanucollective.co.uk. And if you're interested in learning about more up and coming craft projects take a look at www.craftspace.co.uk. They're one of the few charities that have succeeded in winning Arts Council funding and they're not wasting time in putting it to good use.
Today's blog is all about how to win clients and build profitability – not just by looking fantastic, but by working hard behind-the scenes. So take a look through and if you have any questions, give us a call!
Search Engine Optimisation
A blog is great for helping with SEO – keep it regularly updated with interesting, relevant articles and incorporate keywords for maximum effect! It's these industry- specific words that help you rise organically when users look for your product or service. But beware of link farms – Google knows if you're cheating. Take a look at this blog for some simple SEO tips courtesy of Hubspot: http://j.mp/ivtqY7.
A fantastic tool for monitoring traffic, Google Analytics is free to download and provides you with a wealth of information! See where your users come from, evaluate how effective your marketing campaigns are and see how many hits you get month by month. With all this information on hand, you'll learn exactly how to drive traffic to your site, and keep it there!
Eye Mapping
A clever technique dating all the way back to the 1800's, eye mapping helps you understand where your users eye goes in the 7 seconds they spend on your home page! That's right – just 7 seconds! Use eye mapping to give you a head start. Make sure your taglines hook, your logo impresses and your copy is captivating!
Converting traffic to sales
This is an easy one: if you look like you care about your business, your users will too. Make sure your website looks professional and appeals to your target market. Keep your copy concise and focus interest on your product or service. Want to know more? Check out these tips from BestRank: http://j.mp/kJn2mv
Don't be Flash!
Google won't read Flash so use it with care – too much on your site will mean you lose out on rankings. The right amount however, can really set you apart. In fact, we're a bit partial to Flash ourselves – as you can see from the musical horse on our home page!

The average user spends 7 seconds on your home page before clicking away. With such a short amount of time, it's important to make sure your website creates a fantastic impression! Don't be afraid of being bright, bold and different. More importantly, differentiate yourself from the competition!
How's your website looking at a glance – is everything in the right place? An attractive, aesthetic layout means your site is easy on the eye and inviting. Combine colour, font and copy to create a dynamic user experience. And if you can help it, avoid pop up banners or too much flash – they'll make your users click away in the blink of an eye!
Make sure your site creates a great experience by maintaining excellent functionality. Have a visible, accessible navigation bar. Once you've succeeded in driving traffic to your site, don't lose at the last hurdle because of broken links! These simple techniques will mean users can navigate your site with ease, paying attention to everything you offer!
Think about how the way you sound helps you connect with your target market. Is your tone of voice conversational or corporate? Which do you think users will respond most positively to? And always double check your spelling and grammar, especially on your home page!
Have a Blog!
Putting interesting articles or images on your blog will stimulate interest and help to drive traffic to your site! Linking your blog to other forms of social media will also help raise awareness and visibility. Incorporating keywords will aid organic SEO! In a nutshell, blogging is a supertool for your website!

Watch out for more juicy tips in our next blog, where we'll be giving you advice to make sure your website is working as hard as it can for you and your business, from behind-the-scenes!
News out yesterday that Apple has recently become the most valuable brand, taken over from Google's four years at the top spot. According to the BrandZ study of the global top 100 brands, the Apple brand is now worth £93bn, and has become the world's most valuable technology company, overtaking Microsoft last year.
A good proportion of this revenue has come from the new consumer products Apple produces, which include the iPod, iPhone and iPad. These new products (which take advantage of iOS) are for the consumer on the move and, although they didn't invent the tablet format, they seemed to have perfected it. The iPad has become the model that other manufacturers have been trying to emulate.
The Apple brand has increasingly become one of desire. "It's doing what luxury brands do, where the higher price the brand is, the more it seems to underpin and reinforce the desire." says Peter Walshe, global brands director of Millward Brown.

Push Pop Press is a new publishing platform for iOS devices. It helps users develop books rich and deep in content, full of text, images, interactive graphics, sound and touch. It makes publishing easy to do, the user does not need to have knowledge of coding and software development. The first title to take advantage of the Push Pop Press software is Al Gore's "Our Choice", the sequel to An Inconvenient Truth.
Push Pop Press is a new brand which aims to bring a new dimension to the e-book platform, adding high-end graphics to the largely unadorned text. They will come up against some big name brand competition also, such as Adobe, who have a huge percent of the e-book and magazine platform. This new way of branding and creating books looks great. Full of interactivity and fun I am sure Push Pop Press will take off in a big way. Watch out for more titles on their website here: http://pushpoppress.com/

You've probably guessed by now that we like HTML5 here at Stripeyhorse Creative. In older posts we've talked of its relative ease of use, given Jason Beaird a nod for his views on website design, and blogged about the new HTML5 branding and logo design.
Now we want to share the more experimental side of HTML5 and show you some really interesting projects by Hakim, a web developer and creative programmer. Hakim has worked with some big name brands including Google, BBC, Nintendo and Wacom. You really have to get onto his website to play with the experiments, but shown above is just two: Sketch and Keylight.
It would be great to see some real world application of these experiments. He even created the logo and branding for a Canadian media production company using HTML Canvas options. Some new and interesting things may start to appear in new brands and websites thanks to the introduction of HTML5.
For now, play with these experiments and more on his website.

Front squat:
1 x 3 @ (up to) 90% of 2RM
3 x 5 @ 75%
Rest as needed between all sets. If sets require interruption (provided lifts are performed at current, accurate percentages) pause as briefly as needed and complete without decreasing weight. When scheme is listed as "3 x 5″, it always refers to "Sets" x "Reps". Reminder: Position and range of motion always govern weight.
Then, 3 rounds of:
3 1-arm kettlebell swing clean (Left)
3 1-arm kettlebell front squat (Left)
1 1-arm kettlebell Thruster (Left)
:15 sec. rest
3 1-arm kettlebell swing clean (Right)
3 1-arm kettlebell front squat (Right)
1 1-arm kettlebell Thruster (Right)
1 minute rest
Front squat begins at top of 3rd swing clean, and Thruster begins at top of the 3rd squat. If set requires interruption, adjust one interval down and continue. Position considered, each set/ each arm is to be performed as heavy as possible. Weakest lift in the sequence will govern weight.
And then:
3 x 5 Straight jump (Weighted with sandbag, scaled to ability)
Rest between sets, and lower/ remove weight as soon as position breaks.

School Life - 2018 Valedictorian Announced
To be elected Valedictorian is a great honour at Cobram Anglican Grammar School. The Valedictorian is recognised by their peers, and teachers, to be a person who is seen to uphold and represent the values of the School- Community, Integrity and Endeavour in all that they do.
Our 2018 Valedictorian is a person who has indeed upheld these values in all that they have done at school. And, it is particularly gratifying to acknowledge that this student also has the distinction of being able to say that they have lived these values for the entirety of their school life. Brodie Walker, is the first student who commenced their schooling in the Cobram AGS Prep class in 2006 and has gone all the way through to finish their VCE.
Brodie graciously accepted this award and presented a well thought-out speech to his peers, parents and staff of Cobram AGS. In part, his speech considered the meaning of success:
"I would like us all to consider what it means to succeed and what that will mean for us all. Tonight, success for all of us, will be that we have graduated after 13 years of hard work. Success in the coming months maybe measured by qualifying for a university, getting into the TAFE course we applied for, getting into paid employment or even embarking on some form of travel. Regardless of what our endeavours may be, the future is ours to take advantage of, to make a difference and to understand what great opportunities there are for the taking".
Cobram AGS would like to congratulate the Valedictorian of the Year 12 class of 2018, Brodie Walker.

Orchard Hill 2nd graders are having an amazing time experiencing the Osmo. What's an Osmo you might be asking? Osmo is hands on—it's a set of iPad games played with real-world pieces. You set the ipad on a unique stand with a red plastic reflector that redirects the iPad's front-facing camera to the game pieces as your child interacts with them on a table or floor. These second graders pictured here had a great time manipulating the pieces to solve problems in order to fill their aquarium with fish. The Osmo is able to determine how your child is solving how to build a number using only 1, 2, and 5. Say the number 18 popped up on the screen. Second graders were able to figure out....Oh.... I need 5 + 5 + 5 + 2 + 1 in order to pop the bubble to help fill up the aquarium. Think of all the connections in math they are making including building their number sense!! The kits are there until the end of the month!

It was my mission over the weekend to formulate a new oatmeal cookie recipe that both health nuts and cookie lovers would love. It took a couple of disaster tries (rock-onerous batch #1 and strange aftertaste batch #2), however I finally found a winner. I completely substituted the coconut oil. I use coconut oil all the time, but didn't have enough for the recipe. And these cookies needed to happen, so I used lard. You're not seeing things. LARD. And they had been wonderful. Mwah hah hah.

Social Status in Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egypt had a clear hierarchy with Pharoah being the ultimate ruler.
-Vizier and other government officials
-Priests and Nobles
-Farmers, Peasants and Slaves
Within this hierarchy men and women were classed as equal in Ancient Egypt. Both could own property, buy and sell merchandise, marry and divorce and take legal action in court. This was unusual at that time as in most ancient countries women were treated as second class citizens and were subservient to the men.
As women had equal rights, they were able to take up many positions and work alongside men. This included official government positions, although few would take up working in government.
Women in their own right could:
-Buy, sell and own property such as; land, livestock, servants and slaves.
-Take legal action, testify in court, act as a witness and serve on a jury.
-Sign contracts.
-Work in the same positions as men.
Many women from wealthy families however still chose to stay at home, whereas poorer women worked alongside their husbands in the fields.

Beastly Morality
Animals as Ethical Agents
- 35,99 €
- 35,99 €
Description de l'éditeur
We have come to regard nonhuman animals as beings of concern, and we even grant them some legal protections. But until we understand animals as moral agents in and of themselves, they will be nothing more than distant recipients of our largesse. Featuring original essays by philosophers, ethicists, religionists, and ethologists, including Marc Bekoff, Frans de Waal, and Elisabetta Palagi, this collection demonstrates the ability of animals to operate morally, process ideas of good and bad, and think seriously about sociality and virtue.
Envisioning nonhuman animals as distinct moral agents marks a paradigm shift in animal studies, as well as philosophy itself. Drawing not only on ethics and religion but also on law, sociology, and cognitive science, the essays in this collection test long-held certainties about moral boundaries and behaviors and prove that nonhuman animals possess complex reasoning capacities, sophisticated empathic sociality, and dynamic and enduring self-conceptions. Rather than claim animal morality is the same as human morality, this book builds an appreciation of the variety and character of animal sensitivities and perceptions across multiple disciplines, moving animal welfarism in promising new directions.

Training for kids should be fun! Obstacle Course Races have many similarities with children's playgrounds. Kids get to run, jump, duck, climb – and the best part is that they are allowed to get muddy, it's a natural part of these races.
The boom in obstacle course racing (OCR) and mud runs shows no sign of slowing down. There are many organizers of kids races around the world, so why not let your kid try one out? Many races have several heat start times so a family can race at the same event. In most races adults can follow their children along the course and come in to assist when and if needed.
Participating in an obstacle race can be empowering, kids learn how to overcome literal and personal obstacles. The courses usually have miniature versions of some of the adult obstacles as well as mud and water. The length of the courses are adjusted to kids, and is typically about 1-2 kilometers for younger kids, starting at an age from 3 and up depending on the organizer.
At the finish line every participant usually gets a medal. The kids carry them proudly. Rehband can't think of a better and more fun way to keep kids active and have a fun-filled activity for the whole family.

"Do you think all dentists should provide care for patients with special needs, or should it only be specialists?" This is a wonderful question a new first-year dental student asked me in a recent class. At first, it seemed fairly straightforward; but on further reflection, it became one of those questions that keep me awake at night. As I considered my role and responsibility as a teacher, I realized this question cuts to the heart of how we define ourselves as a profession. Should we see the care of the most challenging patients as being "my responsibility," or is it best left to the experts, i.e., someone else? Furthermore, is the sole responsibility of dental schools to provide the best education to prepare graduates for successful careers as dentists? Or is it our obligation to serve the greater good and foster development of future-ready health professionals fully prepared to address the diverse oral health care needs of all persons, individually and collectively, even those with complex problems, one person at a time, and as a community?
For most of my career as an oral medicine specialist, I have had the privilege of caring for patients with complex special needs and have seen how the dental profession has often not served well the most vulnerable among us, the people who need us most. These patients need for their primary care dentist to have broad and deep knowledge of medicine and dentistry; superb technical skills; the patience that comes from compassion and commitment to the core values of the profession; the ability to listen and communicate effectively with them and with other health professionals; and, most of all, the highest ethics and professionalism to truly put the patient's needs above all else. Patients must be able to trust their dentists: it's the only way the relationship works. At the same time, dentists need to stay in business to be able to provide care. My answer to my student will be revealed at the end of this guest editorial. For now, I'd say it depends on what we believe we are as a profession. The definition of the new general dentist, captured in the competencies that anchor dental education and assessment of readiness for practice, must truly represent all of this.
In this month's issue, Mohan and Ravindran propose a conceptual framework for "preparedness for practice," based on a rigorous systematic review of the literature, to support development of educational programs and assessment systems to ensure new dental graduates are not only competent (based on knowledge, skills, and behaviors) but fully prepared for independent practice (based on confidence).1 Their study was motivated by recent trends in many low and middle income countries in which dental education systems are decentralized and highly privatized and the practice environment is highly competitive and economically challenging. Given these conditions, there is concern that new dental graduates may not be ready to successfully transition from the familiar, structured, and safe educational environment to the unfamiliar, complex, and risk-filled environment of dental practice. These researchers' goal was to develop a broad conceptualization of the construct "preparedness for practice" and to understand the factors that influence it, in order to provide the basis for dental curriculum reform and assessment.
Mohan and Ravindran's conceptual framework consists of six domains essential for preparedness for practice: academic and technical competence; communication and interpersonal skills; protective mechanisms and adaptive skills; professional attitude and ethical judgment; clinical entrepreneurship and financial solvency skills; and social and community orientation.1 These domains resonated with my own image of what patients need their general dentists to be, in the context of people with great dental needs and scarce resources. The authors also identified factors that influence preparedness for practice: training-related factors, gender and experience of students and graduates, and opportunity for internship along with the nature of post-training work experience. They concluded that more research is needed to better understand this construct and how to apply it. In the U.S. and countries around the world, dental educators, accreditors, and examiners have a shared responsibility to train and certify a dental workforce able to care for the oral health needs of their patients and communities. Although Mohan and Ravindran did not address assessment of preparedness for practice, their study has implications for the competency frameworks used in this process as well.
In 2005, the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) launched the Commission on Change and Innovation in Dental Education (ADEA CCI), a broad-based initiative to address challenges of curriculum reform in contemporary dental schools.2 For the first time, the pervasive barriers to curriculum reform in dental education were systematically identified and addressed, while, in parallel, changes were being made to the National Board Dental Examination (NBDE) and Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) standards that aligned with the ADEA CCI's goals.3 One of the ADEA CCI's most valuable and successful outcomes was the creation of a shared resource, a framework to support competency-based education, the ADEA Competencies for the New General Dentist, which were approved by the ADEA House of Delegates in 2008.4 The supporting foundation knowledge and skills were defined in a companion document approved by the ADEA House of Delegates in 2011.5 By 2015, these competencies were being used by at least 76% of U.S. dental schools.6 The domains of competence in these documents are 1) Critical thinking; 2) Professionalism; 3) Communication and interpersonal skills; 4) Health promotion; 5) Practice management and informatics; and 6) Patient care (assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning; and establishment and maintenance of oral health).
These competencies have served U.S. dental education well, but a lot has changed in the past ten years, and we should have the same concerns as Mohan and Ravindran about whether our new dental graduates are prepared for practice in a constantly changing health care environment. Recent developments are driving a need to update this document to provide a more contemporary and comprehensive framework for curriculum innovation and clinical licensure reform. Such a process would also benefit from recently introduced models and tools that can help dental schools implement a new vision for the practice-ready dental graduate.
In 2017, for example, ADEA recommitted to the Commission on Change and Innovation with the launch of ADEA CCI 2.0, which has the following three goals: "person-centered health care will become the dominant model in health systems; future-ready graduates from health professions education programs will deliver the health care; and graduates will be educated in a transformative learning environment."3,7 This initiative is a call for continuous change, and providing tools to help schools lead change is part of this effort.
In addition, in September 2018, the joint American Dental Association (ADA), ADEA, and American Student Dental Association (ASDA) Task Force on Assessment of Readiness for Practice published a report calling for major changes in the dental licensure process.8 The task force's third recommendation is to "work on a national level to establish a common core of dentist credentials for licensure that can serve as a basis for licensure compacts between states." The opportunity to develop this national standard comes from the evolution of competency-based education in accredited dental schools and effective new pathways of dental clinical assessment. A new ADEA Competencies for the New General Dentist framework should be integral to this process and must reflect the full scope of what a new general dentist needs to be able to do in order to both succeed in practice and serve the public.
Finally, new competency frameworks and assessment models have been developed by dental education and accreditation organizations around the world, based on best practices and contemporary models of competency-based pedagogy and assessment in health professions education and workplace-based assessment in Canada, Europe, and Australia.9–13 We can learn from and build on these models.
The first is the Association of Canadian Faculties of Dentistry (ACFD) Educational Framework for the Development of Competency in Dental Programs (2015).9 Its domains are 1) Patient-centered care; 2) Professionalism; 3) Communication and collaboration; 4) Practice and information management; and 5) Health promotion. A second model is the Association for Dental Education in Europe (ADEE)'s report on the graduating European dentist (2017).10 Its domains of competence are 1) Professionalism, 2) Safe and effective clinical practice, 3) Patient-centered care, and 4) Dentistry in society. Third is the Australian Dental Council's Professional Competencies of the Newly Qualified Dentist (2016), with statements in the areas of 1) Professionalism; 2) Communication and leadership; 3) Critical thinking; 4) Health promotion; 5) Scientific and clinical knowledge; and 6) Patient care (clinical information gathering; diagnosis and management planning; and clinical treatment and evaluation).11
A fourth model is the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Core Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) for Entering Residency (2014). Similar to standards developed in graduate medical education, this new framework was designed by an AAMC task force to support curriculum innovation for predoctoral medical education, to help ensure standardization in the preparation of all new graduates entering medical residencies throughout the U.S.12 It is being implemented now.13 EPAs are observable units of practice that require multiple competencies to perform. Through observation and assessment of these units of practice in the workplace, faculty members can assess multiple competencies at once and over time to provide feedback for learning, summative assessment to support decisions about academic progress, and global assessment of competence and readiness for independent practice. This framework includes milestones as developmental components of the EPAs that are used to map, support, and assess individual trainee development and design curricula.12
All of these frameworks include definitions of individual competency domains or statements. The ACFD framework maps each competency statement and its components to the corresponding knowledge, skills, and attitudes of the Canadian National Dental Examining Board and its indicators: the specific knowledge, skills, and behaviors that can be observed and measured during dental education.9 The components are similar to EPAs, and the indicators are similar to milestones used in medical education. Each of these frameworks explicitly addresses person-centered care and commitment to society, communities, and public health.
To date, an EPA framework has not been implemented in dental education, but with the support of an ADEAGies Foundation grant, faculty members at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry are working with educators from around the country to develop an EPA framework for general dentistry.14 The framework is meant to support curriculum in novation for future-ready graduates and to support global assessment of readiness for practice, taking it beyond assessment of one competency at a time.15 This project was presented in a faculty development workshop at the 2017 ADEA Fall Meetings and is still under development.
These recent developments and new resources present a favorable opportunity to combine our efforts through ADEA CCI 2.0 to create a new competency framework for the new dental graduate based on the structure of EPAs, competencies, and milestones, used in conjunction with workplace assessments such as e-portfolios and longitudinal direct observation of practice behaviors.15 Such a new framework can support curriculum innovation, help schools design assessments that support learning, and aid educators in performing global assessment of competence including fitness for practice. It must holistically define the competencies needed by the new dental graduate, according to the vision of ADEA CCI 2.0.7
Despite fundamental differences in dental education, accreditation, and licensure systems throughout the world, there is a global need to define "preparedness for practice" in order to develop educational and assessment models that produce health care providers able to serve the needs of their patients and communities. The framework proposed by Mohan and Ravindran1 has many elements in common with dental education frameworks recently developed or updated. However, being based on a systematic review of the literature, it is, by definition, anchored in the past. It is time for ADEA to reimagine and redefine the ADEA Competencies for the New Dental Graduate to support the goals of ADEA CC1 2.0 and to build on the best evidence and newer models of competency-based education developed in dental education around the world and in other health professions.
My answer to my student's question in the first paragraph was the following: "Yes, there is something all of us as dentists can and should do. Only the dental profession can meet the dental needs of our patients and our communities. Each dentist has a role to play in applying his or her knowledge and skills to caring for those who need us most. It takes commitment and courage and a willingness to try. It also takes knowing when it is in the patient's best interest to ask for help and acting accordingly." Through ADEA CCI 2.0, we can support this vision of preparedness for practice. It is time for a new definition of the "New Dental Graduate."

Have you ever had a random, foggy black and white kind of day?
Nothing life threatening but a mild sort of hazy feeling that traps you into an unfocused, lethargic attitude and, no matter how you try to be productive, the drive to pursue whatever is your passion becomes seriously lacking; the only solution seems to be found in frequent cat naps, like my house cat illustrates so beautifully here…
Cat naps work well just about anywhere!
I wonder at times if this uncertain randomness is due to a black and white way of seeing the world. You know, it is either the way you want things to be or nothing at all–talk about thinking in extremes!
Take for example the effort one puts into publishing a blog post. Do you anticipate, as often as I do, how a blog post will turn out? I admit this is a grave fault of mine– over anticipating–and I really should grow up, be done with fretting and worrying over who will like or not like a certain post. For example, if a certain post gets very little traffic, I begin to worry.
Was it something I wrote…or maybe did not write…too long…too short…not enough photos…too many photos (usually never the case) or *gasp* simply poor writing technique?
Fret…worry…more frets…more worries.
Instead of all this wasted black and white way of seeing things, I should develop a more "grayer," leading up to a more colorful thinking scale and allow the "perhaps" to play a more significant role. For example, as the extreme black and white thinking sets in, I can reason that maybe blog readers are busy with life outside of blogging. I mean we all have a life outside of the blogosphere and maybe my thoughts can become a bit more colorful to include a transition into a more positive outlook on things. Further, perhaps a post would get less traffic because the subject at hand was in all honesty, just too damn boring or too hard to follow. That is understandable.
I should not take it so personable. Ideally, I should sit back, stay calm and reflect on the moment as I allow the grays and colorful thoughts to flourish in abundance.
Unfortunately, for all of you, I am still digging my way out of extreme black and white thoughts like, "Oh, no, my readers hate what I posted! They think it is all zombie crazy writing!!…"
AHHHH, SOMETHING IS WRONG…did I not use enough colorful adjectives??? Tell me…aahhhaahh…Oh, to hell with it all…I give up…go on, poke out my eye…I sacrifice it all for the love of my craft…farewell my dear friends…
…Wait. What is this?
Amazingly, the mist of gloom from my day has suddenly lifted, perhaps because I made the effort to clear my mind and write without a worry. How nice it is to witness the world in color, dive happily into the great Weekly Writing Challenge: A Splash of Color and finally accept whatever comes my way.
So long, black and white colors, be off with your splashes that left me in a slump and feeling like an eyeless zombie!
* * *
What kind of colors surround you today and how has it affected your well-being?
* * *
As you may have guessed, the writing challenge this week was to "highlight a color in a story or event." I chose to focus on the dominate colors that surrounded me the last couple of days. The type of weather we experience does seem to affect our outlook for the day…at least it happens to work that way for me. Enjoy more contributors to this writing challenge below:
