The Reading Guru is pleased to announce we're hosting an excerpt for science-fiction novel "Earth Cell" on our blog today.
Have fun reading!
The Excerpt
She closed her eyes and whispered for several moments, then made a gesture, gave a silent snap of her fingers. The candle burst to life. The flame burned red, like the globes overhead. I found my gaze drawn to it. The pull reminded me of the glamour on the Kerrid's sleeve, which held me the quick moment it took for the Kerrid to plant his dagger in my shoulder. At the thought, I felt a spasm in my shoulder that rolled down my arm, made my fingers twitch.
Aihrah took in a loud troubled breath. The sound gave me the strength to tear my gaze from the candle flame. I studied the elder's face. Her eyes were closed, her lips pressed tight. In the dim light, I saw a thin sheen of sweat on her wrinkled, sparsely-furred brow. She appeared to be struggling to breathe.
A distant alarm sounded in my mind. How much time had passed?
The candle flame danced momentarily in an unfelt breeze. More twinges, like quick muscle spasms, raced down my back and legs, gave my head a single jerk at the neck. Aihrah's head twitched as well.
The elder muttered something that might have been "Stop." The left edge of her upper lip curled back, and she groaned. "No!" she whispered through clenched teeth. The candle flame danced again, this time in the opposite direction. And again, odd twitches shook my body.
Then an unseen force snuffed out the candle. I felt ux swirl all about me, then quickly dissipate. Wisps of smoke curled up from the bent wick. Aihrah let out a gasp, her hands coming together over her breastbone as she collapsed forward in her chair.
"Elder?" I placed a hand on her shoulder. Her upper body trembled beneath my touch as I leaned her back up. She seemed weightless, insubstantial. Long strands of fur at her wrist brushed my hand, but I felt nothing. "Aihrah?"
She blinked, took a raspy breath. Her shoulders slumped and she seemed on the verge of collapse again. Then she turned her gaze toward mine and held it with a strength brought, I felt, by fear. In the dim light, I saw panic steal into her expression.
"What . . . are you?" She jerked away from me, twisting to pull her shoulder out from beneath my hand. "Back. Back!"

Lately, we've been seeing lots of headlines about CrossFit Kids, programs for children under 18.
At first glance, this sounds like not such a good idea. Hang Cleans and Deadlifts for 5-year-olds? But with more than 10,000 CrossFit boxes (gyms) worldwide, the number of preschool CrossFit Kids centers around the country is approaching 1,000.
Look a little closer and you'll discover that CrossFit Kids, on the primary preschool level, is more reminiscent of an elementary school gym class.
"There is a stigma," said Jeff Martin, a CrossFit Kids co-founder. The preschool program is "completely different," he said.
CrossFit Kids is meant to be all about fun and to instill the idea that physical activity is something to enjoy. Envision duck, duck goose and crawl under mats folded in half; rope climbing and hula hooping; bouncy balls and jumping jacks; crab walks and bear crawls; obstacle courses and tumbling.
There is a progression beyond preschool, however, and over time, CrossFit Kids has its students doing the same moves as the adults for strength, agility, endurance and power. According to their website, the principle of "mechanics" is important to establish early on to create "physical literacy," teach proper movements and prevent injuries later on.
The New York Times reported that 460,000 children under 13 used personal trainers last year. In 2009, that number was 140,000.
Martin either predicted the trend in the market or saw that his younger children were bored while his older kids ran around to their various activities. He consulted with pediatric physical therapists to develop a program—no weights, 30 minutes or less of class time—for recently potty-trained children.
"The goal is to have kids be physically active and physically literate so they can express athleticism in whatever sport they like. They can have a fun experience doing something physically active and buy into a physically active lifestyle," Martin said.

Floyd RobertsParticipant
I decided to try here and I have no idea how to use it. Tried sending email but I can't include a question. Well I could use some help using this. Today my site says my ssl certificate expired to others and that its unsafe. Trying to fix that! turoksanctum.com
Your support request was received in good order and has been asnwered. I'll post the answer here as well:
I just checked your site, the problem is that your certificate has expired:
A valid SSL certificate is required for Really Simple SSL and Really Simple SSL pro.
For support on your expired SSL certificate, I would recommend to contact the supplier, which is possibly your hosting company.
As soon as the scan returns a grade A, I can help you configure your site for SSL.
Let me know if you have any questions!MatthewGuest
Hello friends,
please i need help with ssl certificate, i tried to use the plugin to my website it will not work.
am not that good at it, i need an advice on how i can come about uploading ssl to my website. the one i have on the website it says it's has expired from 2012 and i want to take it off and install a new one. i need help pls
Hi Matthew,
it sounds like your website is using a certificate that has expired. Really Simple SSL is not a certificate itself and needs a valid certificate before it can work correctly. We recommend to obtain a certificate at your hosting provider, they will have access to the server and can install the certificate for you. Once a valid certificate is installed, Really Simple SSL will help to migrate your site to SSL.
I created and downloaded an SSL certificate from sslforfree.com. I copied these into my cpanel admin dashboard on godaddy.com and installed the Really Simple SSL on my wordpress site. When activated, one is unable to visit my site without a warning that the site is not secure. I am forced to deactivate the plugin to allow my website to be functional.
Please advise (take note that I have no expertise or experience in this area)
Hi Kirsten,
it is possible the certificate isn't installed correctly and therefore the results in a warning. Can you check if the certificate checks out by doing a scan here: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/?
Mark, THANK YOU! That site returned the issue and helped me resolve it on my own, it's all fixed now. Thanks so much!!Dawn SovinskyGuest
Hello. I have been in contact with word press. They said I have a valid license. I have Really Simple SSL plugin installed in my page, it shows up as downloaded, yet I can get no further. I went to QUalys SSL Labs, and the site can't be found. Any suggestions?
If SSL labs can't find your site, it's probably a DNS issue. Your webhoster can help you with that. Really Simple SSL can only activate if your site can actually load over https. If you post your domain we can check if for you.Arun PalGuest
I read through many forum regarding 'Really Simple SSL' Plugin issue, not detecting SSL on the server.
Following things might help if anyone looking for help (For CentOS Server):
1: Make sure you have ssl.conf present in (/etc/httpd/conf.d) directory.
If not then, you need to install mod_ssl: sudo yum install mod_ssl
2: Once done ssl.conf file will be created and make below changes to it:
ssl.conf file (/etc/httpd/conf.d):
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/certs/ca1111.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/certs/server.key
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/certs/gd_bundle-s8.crt
3: Restart Httpd
4: Login to your WordPress server with 'https'. You can log in to your WordPress with https.Shahid UmarGuest
Hello There,
My Simple SSL has expired, could you please guide me what should i do to get my site back to https?
Hi Shahid,
Please note that Really Simple SSL is not an SSL certificate. I recommend to contact your webhoster about renewing your SSL certificate.
Was trying to obtain free SSL for this site and not sure what info is needed?
Hi Ken, for an SSL certificate, you should contact your webhoster. If they support let's encrypt, you can probably get the free SSL certificate installed automatically. Your webhoster can tell you more.Marc BolichGuest
Hello, so I have a Really Simple SSL Plugin in my WordPress and already got the renewed license. My question is, if there something I have to do or make tweaks on my settings at Really Simple SSL since my SSL will expire soon? Thanks in advance
Hi Marc,
we recommend to contact your hosting provider if the certificate is about to expire soon. Some certificates will be renewed automatically, while others require you to take action before renewing. It's best to contact your hosting provider about renewing the certificate to be on the safe side.Marc BolichGuest
Hi Mark,
Thank You for your response. I already followed the instructions with my hosting provider and already collected the new SSL certificate. My question is, if the Really Simple SLL plugin of WordPress will automatically update the new certificate? Because upon setting it up, I didn't do any more settings upon connecting the SSL. Still, thanks for your help.
Hi Marc,
Really Simple SSL cannot install the new certificate for you. That is something your hosting provider or you need to do. Once a new certificate has been installed, Really Simple SSL will detect it automatically, you don't have to make any changes to the plugin configuration after installing a new certificate.Marc BolichGuest
Hi Mark,
Would look forward that my website would work well. Thanks for your informative and helpful response.SabrinaGuest
Hi, I updated the SSL certificate with my hosting provider (Namecheap) – how long will it take for Really Simple SSL Pro to detect and update it?
Hi Sabrina,
Really Simple SSL pro will detect it as soon as the certificate is installed correctly. To check if the certificate is working, you can run a scan on https://ssllabs.com/ssltestdeepakGuest
My Really Simple SSL is expaire now. thats why i am not able to open my wordpress backend also. as well as website also not working.deepakGuest
My website is https://www.mrsinghcab.com/
Hi Deepak,
your site does seem to have the secure lock now, are you still experiencing any issues?
MarkFaiza BukhariGuest
Hi sir, I have applied all the steps of SSL but still I do not see any secure lock. Please help me quickly. Thank you.
Hi Faiza,
could you try to clear all caches the website uses to see if that resolves the issue?

(KTVI) – It was a victory for drivers Monday and the use of flashing headlights to warn about police speed traps.
A federal judge's ruling in St. Louis could have ramifications across the U.S.
Flashing headlights has become a universal symbol meaning "slow-down police radar ahead."
U.S. District Court Judge, Henry Autrey, of St. Louis issued a preliminary injunction ordering Ellisville Police to halt the policy.
He ruled flashing your headlights was free speech, protected by the First Amendment.
"If you're at the gas station on the corner and someone says 'hey be careful over there, there's a speed trap', that's protected speech. You can't be ticketed for that. This is no different," said Tony Rothert, an attorney for the American Civil Liberty Union.
Ellisville dropped the case long ago, but Elli did not.
The ACLU joined him in filing suit against Ellisville.
In November of 2012, Ellisville Police pulled over Michael Elli, a retired West County resident who hadn't been accused of a moving violation for more than 35 years, and cited him for flashing his headlights. A judge later told him the standard fine for it was $1,000.
"In our view that's speech that's protected by the First Amendment and it's also good for the public because it tells people to slow down, to use caution. That's never a bad thing," Rothert said.
George Restovich, an attorney for the City of Ellisville, said the ruling was a moot point for Ellisville Police.
"They specifically took action by way of the chief of police to address this; to say that we will not arrest individuals, we won't even stop individuals and we certainly won't prosecute individual. I believe there were maybe 5 tickets that were issued in a similar fashion in the past decade," Restovich said.
Rothert said he'd heard from people across the country about this case and Autrey's ruling stood as the prevailing law of the land.
Autrey did not rule on Elli's claim for modest damages in the case.

Hear your Warm and Fuzzy here!
One Sunday morning at a small southern church, the new pastor called on one of his older deacons to lead in the opening prayer. The deacon stood up, bowed his head and said, "Lord, I hate buttermilk."
The pastor opened one eye and wondered where this was going. The deacon continued, "Lord, I hate lard." Now the pastor was totally perplexed. The deacon continued, "Lord, I ain't too crazy about plain flour. But after you mix 'em all together and bake 'em in a hot oven, I just love biscuits."
"Lord help us to realize when life gets hard, when things come up that we don't like, whenever we don't understand what You are doing, that we need to wait and see what You are making. After you get through mixing and baking, it'll probably be something even better than biscuits. Amen.
Romans 8:28
~And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.~

Hello my lovelies, I do hope that you are all OK out there?
June hey!! How did that happen??? Sheesh! Isn't this year flying over. OK so I feel like I owe you guys an update. Earlier in the year I posted about how I was going to be more present here on my blog concentrating on sewing for me. Well.....what the hell happened there then Emma????
The honest answer...I don't really know. I think it has a lot to do with my mindset and the fact that I am feeling totally disconnected from everything. Do you think I am having a mid-life crisis??? I have questioned many things this year and there have been lots of changes. But I still feel that something is still not quite right. Does anyone else sometimes feel like that?
One thing that I did decide was to close my website. I don't really put anything on there anymore and other than using my email it all seemed a little bit pointless and an expense that I didn't really need. I will always be Bagladee....shes my creative alter ego. However my website lapses in July so for the following month I will be transferring all of my emails over to my personal account. I have put both my Etsy and Folksy shops on permanent vacation and once my website is closed I will be closing those too. Its good to have a clear out. I will still be keeping my blog and Instagram account but I'm thinking of knocking my Facebook page on the head too....any thoughts on that one? Do you follow me over there?
I've been out of action for this past 2 weeks as I had a little accident with my foot so I've been laid up alternating between ice baths and elevating it. So I thought now would be a perfect time to say hi. First off Nell was in recovery and now its me. Ppppfff!!! She is doing really well I have to add, thinks she's a bionic cat now and tries to jump everywhere so we're constantly moving furniture out of the way and telling her to slow down ha ha!!! I still cant believe what a tough little cookie she is, so stubborn....hmmmm she reminds me of someone :D
So while I'm here I may as well make a promise to myself and see if I can actually keep it this time. Every Thursday I will pop in and leave a post even if its just a little wave to say hi and tell you whats happened in my week. Maybe this will help me feel more connected? Who knows....I do know that being here and talking it out with you lovelies does really help me. And I've missed it!
So feel free to poke me with a virtual stick if I disappear again....
Speak soon,

Background: Symptoms of either attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or depression constitute the most common reasons for contact with child and adolescent psychiatry. The development of psychiatric symptoms can be explained by a combination of environmental stress events and genetic vulnerability. One common form of environmental stress with high impact on health is sexual abuse.
Aims: To investigate the prevalence and co-occurrence of symptoms of ADHD and depression in relation to experiences of sexual abuse in a large adolescent general population.
Method: All 15- and 18-year-old students (n = 4910) in the Swedish county of Vestmanland answered a school-based screening instrument including the six-question ADHD self-rating scale (ASRS), the Depression Self-Rating Scale (DSRS) and questions relating to experiences of sexual abuse.
Results: The prevalence of co-occurring symptoms of ADHD and depression was 2.4% (boys 1.0%, girls 3.9%). The prevalence of experience of any sexual abuse was 20.9% (boys 13.3%, girls 28.7%). Of those with co-occurring symptoms, 48% of the boys and 47% of the girls reported a history of sexual abuse.
Conclusions: School-based screening for co-occurring symptoms of ADHD and depression might be a method that identifies students at psychiatric and psychosocial risk.
The general aim of the thesis was to contribute to the knowledge about co-occurring symptoms of ADHD and depression in adolescence, focusing on sex differences, as well as aetiology, help-seeking and assessment.
Studies I–III used epidemiological samples of self-reports from all students in Västmanland aged 15–16 and 17–18 years. Study I investigated the prevalence of co-occurring symptoms of ADHD and depression, as well as associations between co-occurring symptoms of ADHD and depression and one environmental stress factor; experience of sexual abuse. Study II examined associations between one biological factor—a polymorphism in TFAP-2β—and co-occurring symptoms of ADHD with andco-occurringsymptoms of depression. Study III investigated the association between the parent–adolescent relationship and seeking help from specialized mental health services in relation to symptoms of ADHD and/or depression. Study IV was a clinical study among adolescent psychiatric patients that compared self-reported ADHD symptoms via the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale–Adolescent version (ASRS-A) and the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale–Adolescent–Screening version (ASRS-A-S) with an ADHD diagnosis determined by the gold-standard method; the Kiddie Schedule of Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia diagnostic interview.
Studies I–III showed that the phenotype of co-occurring symptoms of ADHD and depression is frequent, with a distinct preponderance among girls. Approximately 50% of both boys and girls with co-occurring symptoms of ADHD and depression had also experienced sexual abuse, indicating that this is a group with multiple risk factors for long-term impaired mental health.
Results also support biological sex differences because girls with symptoms of ADHD and a common polymorphism of TFAP-2β (absence of a 9 repeat) reported more symptoms of depression, but boys did not.
Further, only 5% of the adolescents with symptoms of ADHD and/or depression sought help from specialized mental health services. The co-occurrence of symptoms of ADHD and depression was a stronger predictor of help-seeking than all other psychosocial factors investigated, including secure attachment cognitions styles to parents. Among help-seeking girls, co-occurring symptoms of ADHD and depression were more common than symptoms of ADHD without co-occurring symptoms of depression.
The ASRS-A/ASRS-A-S showed promising psychometric properties for further validation in adolescentsresults as a screening tool for use in adolescents.

Beef Curbs Mad Cow Disease Fears
(Beyond Pesticides, January 14, 2004) Although the discovery of Mad Cow disease in the U.S. has prompted the USDA to consider revising conventional beef production and handling procedures, it could take years to implement nationally and even longer to ensure compliance by all producers, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA). USDA certified organic beef, however, already meets tough production standards. Concerned consumers are catching on quickly to the choice at hand, with interest in organic beef seeing a steady increase over the past two weeks.
"The 'USDA
Organic' seal may be little, but it carries a big message: the organic
product being purchased is fully traceable, has passed rigorous inspections,
and, in the case of organic beef, has never been fed any animal by-products
in any form," says Katherine DiMatteo, executive director of OTA,
the business association representing the $13 billion organic industry
in North America.
The USDA's National Organic Standards, which were implemented on October 21, 2002, include the following rigorous standards for organic beef production:
(1) In effect for an animal's entire life, organic practices prohibit feeding animal parts of any kind to any animals that, by nature, eat plants. While the practice of feeding mammalian protein in feed intended for cows and other cud-chewing animals was banned by the USDA in 1997, enforcement of the ban has lagged. Furthermore, byproducts of chickens and pigs that are fed mammalian protein are allowed in feed for conventionally raised cows. Beef sold as organic must come from animals raised organically from three months prior to birth. In other words, organic beef is born from animals that have received organic feed from at least the last third of gestation.
(2) The organic production system provides traceability of each animal from birth to sale of the resulting meat. Each cut of organic meat and meat byproduct can be traced back to its origin. If there were ever a question about the safety of an organic meat product, removal from the food supply would be swift and efficient.
(3) National organic standards require federal government oversight of all production and handling systems. All production and handling operations must undergo onsite inspections and have documented farm and operating plans in place in order to be certified organic. The standards specify all feed, production and handling requirements.
(4) The guiding philosophy of organic production is to provide conditions that meet the needs and natural behavior of the animal. Thus, organic livestock are given access to the outdoors, fresh air, water, sunshine, grass and pasture, and are fed 100 percent organic feed.
(5) Other practices allowed in conventional beef production are forbidden in the organic system. Forbidden conventional practices include: feeding plastic pellets for roughage, feeding formulas containing manure or urea, and the use of antibiotics and growth hormones.
(6) All meat labeled is 100 percent organic. For example, if a consumer purchases organic hamburger, it means all of the meat has been produced organically. If meat is listed as organic in a product labeled as "made with organic meat," 100 percent of that meat must be organic, even if other ingredients within the product are conventional.
While there is a plethora of "natural" meat labels in the marketplace, only meats that are labeled as "organic" can ensure consumers they meet all of the rigorous standards set forth by the federal regulations (note-the use of the actual green & white 'USDA Organic' seal by producers and manufacturers on packaging is optional).
While the retail
price of organic meat is generally greater than conventional, to many
consumers, the greater peace of mind is priceless. Tighter regulatory
practices that will be implemented over the long-term in the conventional
meat industry will inevitably raise beef prices across the board. The
price of organic beef already reflects the true cost of a production
system that protects the health of animals and people.

A Gold Coast man shot dead in bed has been named in a move to help find his killer.
Shyam Dhody, aka Sam Dhody, was discovered by his partner when she arrived at their Sunbird Court home in Gilston just before 5pm (AEST) on Friday.
The couple's newly-built home is now a crime scene and police say the pair had only been living there for two weeks.
Mr Dhody had sustained gunshot wounds but police are refusing to provide further details, such as whether there was a struggle or signs of forced entry.
His partner is assisting police with their inquiries but is not a suspect, Detective Superintendent David Hutchinson told reporters on Saturday.
Det Supt Hutchinson says they are certain Mr Dhody had no known links to bikie gangs or other criminal groups.
"There's absolutely no information available to suggest they had any association whatsoever with OMCGs (outlaw motorcycle gangs) at this point in time," he said.
"Indications to us would tend to suggest it's not a random event but there's a lot of inquiries still to be made."
Forensic police are continuing to search the home and police are appealing for public assistance.
Anyone who saw anyone or any vehicles in the area between 7am and 5pm (AEST) on Friday is being urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Military sociology is a relatively new field of study within sociological research, emerging as a result of the World War II and Cold War era.¹ The relationship between military and society obviously pre-dates the post-war era but this is the first time dominant assumptions about the socio-institutional structure of the military was questioned on a societal level.
For many, the military is seen as a lifestyle in itself and many of those in the profession view it as unique. According to Sam C. Sarkesian and Robert E. Connor, there are six elements that shape the character of this lifestyle¹:
- The profession has a defined area of competence based on expert knowledge;
- There is a system of continuing education designed to maintain professional competence
- The profession has an obligation to society and must serve it without concern for remuneration;
- It has a system of values the perpetuate professional character and establish and maintain legitimate relationships with society;
- There is an institutional framework within which the profession function; and
- The profession has control over the system of rewards and punishments and is in a position to determine the quality of those entering the profession.
In many cases throughout world history, the status of a nation's military has run parallel with it's progression as a society.¹ There are distinct correlations between the structure and prevalence of military and the same society's methods and styles of governance, politics and general social attitudes. For instance, most countries, including the United States measures their social, geographic and political histories on a war-by-war basis.
Within the field of military sociology, there are many key topics explored. These include political control of the institution, military's use of research and industry, transition to and from civilian lifestyle and veteran affairs issues.² Subtopics within these include dominant assumptions held by those in the military, changes in 'fighting' philosophies, military unionization, problems of governance, foreign policy, ethnic/religious/territorial conflict, secession and irredentism, international migration and armed conflict.²

Mark Hosak and his Reiki story
Mark Hosak, born on 25 April 1972, was already interested in spirituality and East Asia in his childhood, and since the age of 13 had regular contact with Japanese in the fields of calligraphy and martial arts. He had the opportunity to learn Japanese in school since the 10th grade.
During his civilian service in 1993 he had his first contact with Reiki when he gave an 88-year-old woman flowers and these still blossomed after three months. Upon the question, why this could be, she held her hand over the flowers and said that I should get to know her son who could explain everything to me. Her son, is a former astrophysicist with NASA told me about a Japanese remedial method called Reiki which he right from the beginning, brought forward and explained with scientific documents. There Mark Hosak knew: " Even if only five percent of that was true, it is worthwhile to learn this!" So he soon took part in a 1st level Usui Reiki course. Initially somewhat skeptical, he tried reiki out on himself three times a day and several times a week on others. It showed extremely good results. Out of a desire to help others, he started praying at the begining of treatments, began to visualize and to breathe in a certain way. Because, he noted that this increased the perception and power of his hands and the Reiki recipients got better faster. Now because his Reiki teacher explained to him, that these variations were not traditional, he decided to use it secretly due to the enormous effect for himself and others. This resulted in the publication of his book 'Seven secret techniques of Reiki' in 2007. Today, these technics are a part of the 1st level Shingon Reiki.
His first Reiki teacher encouraged him to study calligraphy and on account of his Japanese knowledge gave him some questions and tasks to accomplish, so that his research about that began with the investigation of Reiki.
At the University of Heidelberg Mark Hosak studied East Asian Art History and Japanese Studies. He specialized in Buddhist art, architecture and rituals. To accomplish the explorations in Japan, he received two Japan scholarships, one from the German government through the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) after that a second one thru the Rotary Club International and for nearly three years was a research student at the University of Kyoto in Japan.
In Japan, he discovered the origin of the mental healing symbol in a Buddhist temple and henceforth directed his research in this field. His Japanese Professor recommended him to the consecration to a monk for the appropriate training by participating in rituals in temples and on a 1200-year-old Buddhist pilgrimage called 'The 88 temples of Shikoku'. During the pilgrimage, he had a spiritual experience which then led his life, where he is now: at dusk he lost his way in the forest, not knowing where he can stay over night, and after climbing a high stone stairway in the forest, he found a sculpture of the monk Kūkai, the founder of this pilgrimage. It is said that Kûkai accompanies, protects and leads everybody on the pilgrim's journey. Then Mark Hosak had the idea through this sculpture and by means of a Reiki of distant contact to speak with the monk Kûkai and to ask him for advice. At this moment he had a luminous appearance of the monk Kûkai. Opon the question: " What is the way? Where should I go? " came the answer: " Go the way of your heart! " However, this is not that what he wanted to hear, because he wished a road description for the night. On the other question: " What is the way of my heart" Kûkai answered: " You will find this out if you further continue the pilgrimage with me". Then the appearance disappeared and he stood in the darkness in front of the sculpture … During the rest of the pilgrim's journey it became clear to him that the way of his heart is Reiki and the exploration of its origins.
Back in Germany, he wrote his master's thesis about the Siddham Hrih as the origin of the Mental Healing symbol. Followed by more than ten years work on his doctoral dissertation on the topic: 'The Siddham in Japanese art in rituals of healing. Then in 2015 at the University of Heidelberg he received his Ph.d. with the note magna cum laude.
Mark Hosak completed Master training in several styles of Reiki. Thus, he noted that some styles have more and some a lot less to do with traditional Usui Reiki. In 2005 he thought, that if he could give a name to manner of how he conveys his way of Reiki teaching and research, that he would call it Shingon Reiki. It was never his intention to establish a new style. Therefore he withheld this idea for many years, until in 2014 his pupils convinced him to teach Shingon Reiki up to master levels. Only the Reiki lineages, in terms of content, energetically and professionally going back on Usui belong to Shingon Reiki. These are the lineages of Takata Reiki, Reidô Reiki and Gendai Reiki.
Now a days, he is still translating Japanese texts about Reiki, researching deeper into the sources of Reiki and directs his Shingon Institute, where he teaches Reiki, Meditation, Magic, Shamanism and Spiritual martial arts. Even if these subjects seem like a broad field, they are all a part of the Reiki healing method, as it was recently discovered with the new translations of ancient texts.
It is the concern of Mark Hosak to teach Reiki in a simple and understandable way and help to spread this happiness welcoming method into the world. For this is the message of the inscription on the memorial stone of Mikao Usui at his grave by the Saihoji temple in Japan.
Here is an article on Healing Rituals in Esoteric Buddhism. This is the introduction to the doctoral thesis of Dr. Mark Hosak. The thesis is published in German language. Click here to order.

A bird, a plane? No, super-Pohlmeyer!
Posted by Urs Schreiber
Recently I had talked about how I think Pohlmeyer invariants are related to boundary states of D-branes with gauge field and fluctuations turned on. I concluded by saying:
It just remains to note that by using the relation to DDF invariants it is easy to generalize the Pohlmeyer invariants to the superstring (section 2.3.3 of hep-th/0403260), which should carry all of the above disucssion over to its supersymmetric extension.
Indeed the super Pohlmeyer invariants, as I will call them, which are obtained this way seem to be useful and interesting. Here I will look at them in more detail.
The idea is as follows: Similar to the considerations presented in hep-th/0312260 we start with the supersymmetric vertex operator for the gauge field and construct a suitable path ordered multi-integral of this guy around the closed string such that the Ishibashi conditions are satisfied, which say that the result must be super-reparameterization invariant along the string (which in loop space differential geometric language means that the result must be -closed).
The authors of hep-th/0312260 discuss one way to do this. Currently I fail to see if and how the boundary state (3.9) which they give is gauge covariant. Maybe it need not be, if only the correct states decouple in the amplitudes calculated from it.
The issue arises due to the fact that the supersymmetric vertex operator of the gauge field looks something like
where the fermionic term on the right is the exterior derivative of for the mode - but not the gauge covariant exterior derivative, but the ordinary one. This makes it very non-manifest that exponentiating this object through a Wilson line gives something gauge covariant (and does it?).
On the other hand, my point is that if we use the DDFPohlmeyer relation to construct a Wilson-line-like boudnary state for non-abelian something manifestly gauge covariant is obtained.
This works as follows:
Start with the supersymmetric DDF oscillator in equation (2.58) of hep-th/0403260 and take its Fourier transform as done in equation (2.51) for the bosonic part of that operator. The resulting quasi local invariant observable now contains also a fermionic contribution, but this is a total -derivative, as one can easily see. That's crucial.
Namely when one now inserts this integrated and Fourier transformed vertex into an ordinary Wilson line, the derivative term leads to boundary terms in the multi-integrals, in just such a way that the covariant field strength appears in the fermionic terms. More precisely, the result is
This is the explicit form of the super Pohlmeyer invariant. Written this way it is very unobvious that this is really an invariant, so that it commutes with the fermionic Virasoro generators. But, being constructed purely from DDF invariants by the same trick that the bosonic Pohlmeyer invariants are, it is still true, and so in particular this does respect the Ishibashi conditions.
What is manifest, however, is the gauge covariance of this object under .
Another nice consequence of the fact that this object comes from exponentiated DDF operators is that it is easy to check for divergences when this is applied to a bare boundary state. The calculation turns out to be completely analogous to that in section 3.5. of hep-th/0407122, which means that to lowest order the condition for vanishing of the divergences in the super Pohlmeyer invariant are just the Yang-Mills equations for .
The authors of hep-th/0312260 obtain the same result, but with a rather different method. They regularize their Wilson line so that divergences are canceled by construction. But then invariance is potentially broken and they confirm that it is preserved by the regularizartion precisely if the equations of motion hold.
So maybe the super Pohlmeyer invariant discussed above is just a complementary view on the same result obtained by these authors. It certainly describes some gauge field background, it has the form of a Wilson line, is well defined as an operator and satisfies the correct physical conditions. Plus - it is manifestly gauge covariant.

Norwegian lit with a French twist
|Alexander Kielland
The two countries referred to in the title are Norway—Kielland's homeland and residence for most of his life—and France—where he lived briefly at the start of his writing career. One can definitely see the influence of French literature on Kielland's work. Many of the pieces included here express a socially conscious concern with class disparity and the living conditions of the poor. The Francophile reader will spot the romantic influence of Victor Hugo in the revolutionary rhetoric of "Pharaoh," the gritty naturalistic bluntness of Emile Zola in the squalid scenes of "At the Fair," and the biting sarcasm of Honoré de Balzac as Kielland lampoons upper-class hypocrisy in "A Good Conscience." Apart from the social commentary, the other half of the book consists of love stories, often told with a comic sensibility. Their brevity and lightheartedness, coupled with a keen, matter-of-fact insight into human relationships, calls to mind some of the short-short stories of François Coppée's collection Ten Tales.
Brevity can also be a drawback, however, as these tales often end abruptly and leave the reader wanting more. In general the longest stories are also the strongest. The aforementioned "Two Friends," set in Paris, is the best entry in the book. Charles is an introverted, unattractive man with a good head for business. His friend and business partner Alphonse is a good-looking, likable bloke who skates through life. When Charles becomes envious and resentful of his happy-go-lucky comrade, the two have a falling out and part ways. In "Romance and Reality," a young couple ponders marriage, but the groom wants to wait until he's more financially secure. After all their friends reassure them that love conquers all, these fools rush in, only to wake up too late to the realities of a hasty matrimony. For its time, this is a remarkably modern and frankly unromanticized look at marriage. Kielland even subtly builds a case for family planning. "The Parsonage" is an engaging and bittersweet tale about a minister's daughter who has lived a sheltered life on her father's rural Norwegian estate. When a party of young people stops at their home, she experiences her first taste of love. Another good selection, though further afield, is "The Peat Moor," a story told from the point of view of a raven.
I was a bit disappointed that I didn't find anything here of quite the same caliber as "Two Friends," but overall this is still a strong showing by Kielland, and this collection certainly deserves to be read. The promise of these brief, early pieces makes me eager to see what Kielland can do with a full-length novel.

The scientific debate wrestles over both causation and existence of climate change. Putting aside any particular political stance, it behooves carriers to examine what could happen should the world indeed be getting warmer. Without getting wrapped up in scare tactics or predictions of worst-case scenarios, the potential impact of climate change can be examined to determine possible points of liability and loss for the (re)insurance industry. If temperatures do rise, the potential effect on a realm of issues — including property damage, health, security, and the economy — could change the way (re)insurers conduct certain areas of their business.
The increase of temperatures worldwide is caused, according to one camp in the debate, by a mix of atmospheric greenhouse gases, which absorb and re-emit infrared radiation (IR) from the sun. Temperature increases from this IR radiation are further amplified as a result of being trapped by increased clouds and water vapor. The gradual accumulation of heat, this theory purports, affects each layer of the climate system, including the hydrosphere (e.g., the oceans).
The most apparent concern for the (re)insurance industry is the potential increase in severity and frequency of storms from increased ocean water temperatures, which feed stronger hurricanes and typhoons. Higher ocean temperatures also add to the amount of water vapor over the oceans, which could produce heavier rains and increased flooding when the hurricanes make landfall.
In fact, researchers have found that sea-surface temperatures in the tropical North Atlantic, where U.S. hurricanes are born, have been at their highest levels in the last decade. Looking over a century of records, evidence also points to a growth in U.S. storm frequency and landfall in the United States and some parts of the Asia/Pacific region. Record flooding in Europe has likewise incited concern and a search for a possible link to climate change. These trends remain hot topics in the climate change debate.
The potential threats, however, are not limited to catastrophic storms. Extreme heat and subsequent deaths, droughts, water shortages, and agricultural losses, some predict, could affect large swaths of the globe. Increased atmospheric temperatures could induce a resurgence of certain diseases linked to insects that thrive in warmer weather, including malaria, dengue fever, cholera, Lyme disease, and West Nile virus. Respiratory ailments due to increased smog and allergens could add to the potential health costs of heat wave-induced strokes and heart attacks.
Already there is evidence that existing unrest and civil war in certain regions of Africa are partially the result of drought conditions, possibly linked to climate change. And other estimates predict possible "Dust Bowl" conditions arising even in the U.S. Southwest. Around the world, national security could be threatened, as famine and drought trigger regional instability, border tensions, and migration surges.
Many of these are merely theoretical possibilities, some with tested probabilities and others without. Not all are elements that can be punched into a model to churn out a cleanly calculated risk, but the overall picture of possible climate change poses a potential economic threat. Property damage, business interruption, health and life insurance expenses, security costs, and industrial profit losses have been linked to climate change, and are issues that may warrant further analysis by the (re)insurance industry.

I had already in the past very bad experiences because of this, because pd just stoped the connection with my audio inteface even if the computer was always active. I wonder also if could be a procedure from the interface (Presonus Firebox). I'm on a Mac Intel Os X. Any tip on this issue is precious!

From tablets and scrolls to bound books, libraries have cataloged resources and served as a locus of knowledge. Today, they are reinventing themselves as content becomes more accessible online and their role becomes less about housing tomes and more about connecting learners and constructing knowledge. Printed books still play a critical role in supporting learners, but digital technologies offer additional pathways to learning and content acquisition.
When every student has the potential to carry a global library on the device in his or her pocket, the role of physical libraries may become even more important, not just a place to house resources, but one in which to create meaning from them. The libraries of the 21st century provide a welcoming common space that encourages exploration, creation, and collaboration between students, teachers, and a broader community.

The Maze Runner
As A Movie: 7.3
If you go and see this movie without having read the book, it's a pretty dang awesome movie. There is little character development, but the visuals and the set are amazing and the plot line itself is just cool. This movie never stops moving- there is always something exploding or people running away, or these creatures {The Grievers} coming to get everyone while things are exploding and people are running away. This a great action movie. If you are coming for a chic-flic STAY AWAY because this doesn't even have hugging or hand holding. Got it? Sometimes Theresa's British accent came out very obviously during certain scenes; she might need to work on her American-ness, but other than that I loved the character choices.
Like Dylan O'Brien, who acted EXACTLY like I thought Thomas would be like. He is prime, man. (Prime is how my best friend usually describes the visually attractive people.)
But can we talk about Newt because I just
From Book to Movie: 5
I had two main problems.
- They didn't even do the MAP SCENE. Like, Thomas doesn't even figure out the whole the-code-is-in-the-maps thing. I'm serious. They completely left that part out which just confuses me so much because I don't get why you can leave that part out and I am so confused that I am writing run on sentences about it.
- They didn't do the whole Thomas-and-Theresa-have-telepathy thing. Instead they did this weird thing with dreams.
ONE THING THAT WAS AMAZING THOUGH WAS THE VISUALS. SPOT ON. The Maze was EXACTLY how I pictured it, if not better. The Glade was great as well, although I don't know where the stick houses came from…. I thought they had more civilized places to live. The Grievers were pretty dang awesome, even though I imagined them sort of differently… but everyone has different pictures in their head, I guess.
Oh well. Another thing (as forementioned) that was kind of weird is that at different points in the movie, Theresa suddenly had a British accent, and then it was back to an American one. If I caught it, you would think that the directors would catch it.
Overall, some minor problems, but overall I loved, loved, loved this movie. Awesome action scenes, gorgeous visuals (including the men) and mostly a great book to movie plot line. Go see it and have lots of fun!!

The CASPA personal statement. This is your ticket to the interview–your chance to get the admissions committee to say, "I want to meet this applicant in person." Be prepared to spend many hours writing, rewriting, rearranging, editing, cutting, and polishing your essay. Give yourself at least a month to write and edit it before you plan on submitting CASPA, and–this is key–have several proofreaders. Allow ample time for them to make suggestions, and for you to consider and incorporate their advice. Don't ask more than 3-4 people to look over your essay, because multiple editors can quickly become overwhelming–choose trusted writers and people in the medical field (especially a PA!).
Here are my biggest tips (approved by classmates) for your fantastic future personal statement.
In the years before:
I highly recommend keeping journals about all your medical experiences, both shadowing and working! I have countless documents chronicling my high school hospital volunteer days and my first surgery observation as a teenager, to my recent CNA jobs. Writing things down not only helps you process what you're learning, it provides you with an invaluable resource to return to when you need to write application essays. Instead of trying to remember how you felt three years ago doing some job or exactly how a particular patient encounter went, you can go to your journal and read it. Often I will even copy pieces from my journals and edit them to fit into my essays, making sure I change identifying details. I can't emphasize enough how useful these have been, not to mention fun to read!
DOs and DON'Ts of writing the actual personal statement:

I'm no foodie. One of the first things I like to tell people when I meet them is that I like my steaks cooked well done. Like ALL BROWN, everywhere. That way, they can make a quick decision about whether or not they wish to enjoy my company further. (Either because of this terrible character flaw, or because of my burning need to tell them this piece of information.)
If I had access to a private chef, I'd order it to make healthy, mostly vegetarian meals for my family, consisting of a steady rotation of ethnically-inspired concoctions. Alas, since it's just me rustling up the grub, we eat a lot of "soups" and pasta "recipes". I enjoy stifling giggles when my family has to eat that shit, because they just can't take another night of cereal. I also enjoy the look of shock on all of our faces when something I make accidentally tastes like food.
Anyway, with my lack of cooking skills comes zero interest in cooking shows. With zero interest in certain shows comes a horrifically expensive cable lineup that inexplicably offers up very little to watch. Meaning, sometimes, one is forced to watch 5 minutes of a cooking show before one gives up, switches off the TV in a huff and settles into reading a book.
One time, I wondered what I would choose to make if I suddenly got my own cooking show. Here is my list:
• A boiled whole turkey
• Ice cubes
• Fruit pleather
• This, obviously:
•Peanut butter spoon dipped in chocolate chips
• Seared Spam with a wine reduction. Recipe below*
• Blue milk (or turquoise- I haven't decided yet.)
• Microwaved whipped egg with artful Sriracha splatter
• Cute little lamb loins from animals that I will slaughter in a pre-show sacrificial ceremony to warm up the audience
• Double chocolate cookies with mayonnaise compote – oh! And sea salt!
• Butter noodles with salt and pepper (My signature dish)
• Ramen with raisins, radicchio, relish, ranch, roasted radishes, and rancid ricotta.
• Beer Milkshake (name that book)
*Pour 1 cup of expensive, full-bodied red wine into a medium saucepan. Reduce it by drinking half of it. Pour it liberally over "meat".

The Brest Fortress is officially known as Brest-Litovsk Fortress and it is strategically situated near the Polish border, at the site where the rivers Bug and Mukavet meet. In its early days the fortress was one of the most remarkable military citadels in all of Russia but today it has been transformed into a commemorative monument which stands for the Soviet resistance in front of the German invasion – a battle which took place on the 22nd of June, 1941.
The fortress was built between 1836 and 1842 by three military engineers Opermann, Maletzky and Feldmann, but the plan of the edifice was developed by Delovan, another military engineer, in 1836. History has it that the entire project was in effect a colossal undertaking as it meant moving a great part of the Brest town further to the east (with a couple of kilometers).
The plan was extremely bold and none considered that would ever see the light of day. The focal point of the fortification was the citadel, a construction consisting of two stories and which was designed to hold 12.000 soldiers within its walls.
The Brest Fortress underwent two consolidation works: one occurred between 1878 and 1888, and the second between 1911 and 1914. The reason for which the fortress is seen as a memorial monument is because of the will with which the people have defended their city. They have resisted in front of the German army for many weeks even if they were outnumbered and even if they had fewer weapons.
After the German invasion, nothing remained from the Brest Fortress except ruins. In 1960, the Soviet authorities have decided to erect a monument on the ruins of the fortress in order to commemorate the courageousness of the people that have fought against the Germans in that fatidic day. The construction received the title of "Hero Fortress" in 1965 and the same year the construction work for a memorial was initiated – which was completed in 1971.
Tourists who visit the fortress will also have the chance to see several monumental sculptures, which have been specially ordered for the adornment of the site. One of the most impressive ones is a massive silhouette called "Thirst" which is representative for "the thirst for life, battle and victory."
The Brest Fortress has a stellar shape. The citadel, the epicenter of the fortification, is built out of red bricks and consists of 500 rooms. The original structure of the edifice counted 4 gates and 4 turrets, but nowadays only two gates stand their ground: the Kholm and the Terespol Gates; everything else lies in ruin.
Three fortifications enclosed the citadel. These were named after three towns: Kobrin, Terespol, and Volyn. The first one, which was shaped as a horseshoe, was the largest one and was situated to the north-east. The Terespol Fortification controlled the western part whereas the Volyn looked over the south eastern area.
The Best Fortress offers a glimpse of Europe's historical past so if you ever get the occasion to visit this part of the world, do not miss your chance.

Netherland Sewell has worked on some of the most technically challenging projects in the world and has delivered thousands of reserves reports to petroleum and financial concerns around the globe. We are frequently selected by companies to certify their reserves in preparation to finance a major project, and often serve in the role of advisor to lending institutions including commercial banks, credit export agencies, and credit rating agencies. We apply our experience and judgment in conducting thorough evaluations to ensure that the oil and gas reserves and deliverability are adequate to support the financing commitment required for the project. Users of our reports have learned that each aspect of an NSAI evaluation is solidly supported.
We are committed to delivering reliable results.
To talk to an expert regarding a Project Finance certification, call either Joe Spellman in our Dallas office at 214-969-5401 or Lee George in our Houston office at 713-654-4950. We can also be contacted by email at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Listed below are a few projects to illustrate our experience:
- Conducted several project finance reserves certifications in Qatar for LNG projects including the Qatargas 3 and Qatargas 2 LNG Projects and the RasGas Train 1&2, Train 3, and Train 4 Developments. Have performed reserves studies and advised lenders on several other major Qatar projects including the QChem and NGL 4 Projects.
- Conducted a comprehensive reserves certification of the Azeri-Chirag-Deepwater Gunashli (ACG) field complex located in the South Caspian Sea to support financing of the multi-phase field development and the construction of the 1 million barrel-per-day capacity Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline. Integrated geology, geophysics, petrophysics, and engineering analysis to estimate the original hydrocarbons-in-place for 7 targeted oil reservoirs. The study incorporated reservoir simulation and our understanding of the complex development plans to estimate the recoverable reserves and the associated production profiles for each of the various development phases. This study was conducted on behalf of the International Finance Corporation, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, a large consortium of financial institutions, and numerous government credit export agencies.
- Performed a geophysical, geological, and engineering study of the 5-field Greater Gorgon Complex on the North West Shelf of Australia on behalf of Western Australia Pty. Ltd. for use in reserves certification for an LNG project. Included reservoir characterization using geo-statistical models for prediction of reservoir continuity and connectivity, statistical integration of multiple 3-D seismic attributes and well data to predict net sand distribution, and a probabilistic assessment of in-place gas volumes.
- Performed reservoir engineering, geological, and geophysical studies of Kome, Bolobo, and Miandoum Fields located in the Doba Basin, Chad. Involved interpretation of a 575-square-kilometer 3-D seismic survey, petrophysical analysis, reservoir simulation, and estimation of reserves and production flowstreams for the development of these heavy oil fields. Work was conducted on behalf of the International Finance Corporation, The World Bank, U.S. Exim Bank, and the Exxon-operated consortium for funding of the field development and the 650-mile export pipeline.
- Performed reservoir engineering, geological, and geophysical studies of 11 fields operated by Shell Production Development Company of Nigeria Limited, Elf Nigeria Limited, and Nigerian Agip Oil Company Limited, which will provide the gas supply for the Bonny LNG plant. Involved modeling of retrograde gas condensate reservoirs to estimate gas and liquid recoveries. Work was conducted on behalf of the International Finance Corporation.
- Conducted a reserves certification of the Salawati Basin and Salawati Island Fields in northwest Irian Jaya, Indonesia, on behalf of ANZ Bank and Pearl Energy PTE Ltd. Included interpreting 3-D seismic data, incorporating well control and well test information in several carbonate reservoir fields, and performing deterministic and probabilistic reserves estimates. Analysis also included operations verification of required capital expenses and operating expenses.
- Estimated oil reserves, reviewed project development plan, performed facilities audit, and coordinated environmental audit of the proposed Sakhalin II oil development project, offshore Russia, for the lenders including the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation.
- Performed engineering, geophysical, and geological evaluations of 34 fields to be dedicated to the Bolivia-to-Brazil Pipeline Project. Included estimates of proved, probable, and possible reserves; gas deliverability; and future revenue. Served on the management, finance, and technical committees along with The World Bank and the six participating companies.
- Conducted a reserves certification of the Petrobras-operated Barracuda and Caratinga Fields in the Campos Basin, Brazil, for lenders financing the deepwater offshore field development. These 2 fields lie in 600 to 1,400 meter water depths and produce from up to 7 different Oligocene to Eocene age turbidite reservoirs. Work consisted of an independent volumetric evaluation to estimate the original oil-in-place and an engineering analysis incorporating reservoir simulation of the existing pilot production and the full field development plan to estimate the ultimate recoverable reserves in each of the reservoirs.

Photo Gallery/Gig Review: Black Mourning Light Festival 2016 (w/ Uada, Helleborus, Wormwitch, Norilsk, Cell, Holocaust Lord, Nachtterror, Dethgod, Ye Goat-Herd Gods, Hunted by Ravens)
On the weekend of the autumn equinox, a darkness befell the northern Canadian city of Edmonton, eclipsed by a twilight horde of black metal bands and fans. Factory Worker Media made the long trek across provincial lines to witness the second iteration of Black Mourning Light Festival in all its grim glory.
As enamoured as one may be with the prodigious BC metal scene, time away from familiar venues and bands is an opportunity to have new experiences and see how other creative communities in Western Canada function. As recently remarked by Social Arsonist drummer Danny Sever, Edmonton's Rendezvous Pub is not unlike Vancouver's own Funky Winkerbeans (a venue which until recently was the premiere spot for new heavy bands to cut their teeth; although, tragically, management has announced its intention to dispense with live music at the end of the week, in favour of karaoke), and its intimate atmosphere provided the event's regional bands and headliners alike a chance to establish and expand their ties in northern Alberta.
(Although this post recaps Saturday's events, fortunately several of Friday's headlining acts continued west after the show and we caught up with their malefic caravan in Vancouver for Black Monday at The Red Room – check back tomorrow for that coverage.)
Saturday's show delivered several noteworthy highlights: Ye Goat-Herd Gods' songwriting was sharper and stronger than one would expect from a band two years young (finely-honed performances by guitarists Jeanie Keebler and Gord Olson made a particularly strong impression); reminiscent of Firecult's appearance at Wacken Metal Battle in Vancouver two years ago, Dethgod's impressively fierce set belied the young age of its members; Nachtterror's porcine set decoration aroused anxiety as one expected accompanying scents similar to a Watain show (fortunately, in polite Canadian fashion, their disembodied pigs smelled much better); Holocaust Lord invoked the studded spirit of truly venomous black metal; according to vocalist Nic Miquelon, Norilsk's moshpit was an apparently unprecedented event; Vancouver's own Wormwitch conjured a compelling black enchantment to an appreciative crowd; and both Helleborus and Uada presented sets of chilling and inventive black metal.
Sadly, after the lengthy 14-hour drive Friday night and full coverage of Saturday's lineup, the need for sleep trumped our attendance of Sunday's breakfast with the bands and one hopes that next year's feast will come later in the day.

During commercialization, manufacturing begins producing inventory as quickly as possible, so that, once regulatory approval or clearance is received, sales can begin immediately. Manufacturing team members also complete their process validations and manufacturing procedures, and - based on marketing sales forecasts - develop long-term purchasing plans. Training operators on new processes and equipment is also important during this phase. MasterControl Training software can facilitate this process and ensure FDA/ ISO compliance (both of which require documented evidence of training and competence).

As full-scale production gets underway, the quality assurance team implements the quality plan and begins playing an active role in making sure that all components, raw materials, and finished goods are in compliance with device master record (DMR) specifications. The quality team also investigates nonconformance issues, CAPAs, etc. MasterControl reporting and analytics software can help in this area. Process Automation software can also help during the commercialization phase, by automating the management of nonconformances, CAPAs, product changes, supplier audits, and deviations.
