Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that form on a solid surface. It has been shown previously that Cryptosporidium parvum is able to accumulate and survive in association with bacterial biofilms in aquatic environments. The long-term survival and sudden release of pathogenic microorganisms due to biofilm sloughing may lead to waterborne disease transmission. The fact that biofilms can immobilize C. parvum oocysts from the water column poses fundamental questions regarding interactions of oocysts with biofilm surfaces. Consequently, the main objectives of this study were to: 1) investigate the mechanisms that govern C. parvum oocyst attachment to environmental biofilms; 2) examine the role of light exposure, water chemistry, and wall shear stress on oocyst attachment to biofilms; and 3) identify C. parvum oocysts by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) using an immunogold labeling technique.Mechanisms of C. parvum oocyst attachment to environmental biofilms grown on polycarbonate coupon surfaces were investigated. Biofilms were formed in rotating annular bioreactors using water and biomaterials collected from different streams in northeastern Pennsylvania with different water chemistries under conditions of dark or light exposure. Biofilm physical structure was characterized by optical microscopy for mean biofilm thickness and roughness, and by SEM for characterization of biofilm architecture. A calcium-mediated psudo-second-order kinetic model for C. parvum oocyst deposition was developed to derive kinetic parameters, such as total number of oocysts retained on biofilm surfaces at equilibrium and the initial deposition rate constant, based on oocyst deposition efficiency. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model for oocyst deposition enabled correlation of water chemistry, hydrodynamic shear stress, and biofilm properties with the derived kinetic parameters. On mature environmental biofilm surfaces (150 days old), the adhesion of C. parvum oocysts was found to be independent of biofilm characteristics (e.g., dry mass, organic mass, protein content, mean biofilm thickness and roughness), solution chemistry (e.g., conductivity, alkalinity and hardness), and growth conditions (e.g., light or dark). However, in this study, mature biofilms developed in bioreactors with the same hydrodynamic shear stress but with different environmental waters had similar surface roughness, suggesting that the range of the roughness coefficient in our bioreactors may have been too narrow to observe any impacts on oocyst attachment. Calcium was observed to play a significant role in oocyst attachment to biofilms.In addition to water chemistry and growth conditions, the impact of wall shear stress on oocyst deposition was also investigated. Dense, compact and smooth biofilms formed under high wall shear stress, whereas fluffy, loose and rough biofilms developed under low wall shear stress. The initial attachment rate constant of C. parvum oocysts on the biofilm surface was found to increase as a function of wall shear stress, presumably due to enhanced mass transport between oocyst and surface; however, the value dropped when the wall shear exceeded a certain limit. The total number of oocysts retained on the biofilms decreased with increasing wall shear stress, possibly due to the smooth biofilm surface and increased drag force acting on the biofilm surface discouraging oocysts from adhering. Biomaterials collected from different seasons (i.e., summer and winter) resulted in different biofilms with respect to roughness, mean thickness and biomass, however these differences were not observed to impact the effect of wall shear stress on oocyst deposition kinetics, suggesting that shear stress plays a critical role in oocyst deposition.Progress was made on the development of an immunogold labeling technique to identify C. parvum oocysts in environmental biofilms by SEM. The performance of different fixatives (i.e., formalin, a mixture of paraformaldehyde and glutaraldehyde, and glutaraldehyde), two drying approaches (hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) and critical point drying (CPD)), four coating materials (iridium, gold, gold palladium, and carbon), and four scanning electron microscopes (Environmental SEM, Hitachi 4300 4300 SEM, Zeiss 1550 1550 SEM, and FIB-SEM) were assessed to find the optimum settings for C. parvum oocyst and gold marker visualization. In our study, fixation by glutaraldehyde, dehydration by HMDS, and then coating with iridium was found to effectively preserve the specimen architecture. The best combination of coating, resolution and signal-to-noise ratio for a C. parvum oocyst positive specimen in our study was 5 kV beam voltage plus -1.5 kV beam receleration at a working distance of less than 3 nm with 1.7 nm iridium coating imaged with the FIB-SEM.The overall goal of this study is an increased understanding of oocyst and biofilm interaction mechanisms. Understanding the mechanisms of oocyst attachment to biofilm surfaces, and how environmental conditions and biofilm surface topography influence oocyst-surface interactions, is critical to the development of anti-adhesive surfaces or materials and could enable enhanced removal of oocysts from surface water. Kinetic profiles obtained from this research will also enable more accurate predictions of C. parvum oocyst fate and transport in the environment. Additionally, the information obtained from this work may be used to guide the engineering of biomimetic surfaces for oocyst detection in the environment.Further research will focus on manufacturing a standardized biomimetic surface which can be used to detect oocysts quantitatively. The impact of factors like temperature and pH, as well as biofilm roughness and composition, will also be further investigated to confirm the oocyst adhesion kinetics obtained from this study. Viability of attached oocysts over time will also be considered in future work.

Мichael Delyagin: What Should Workers Demand?
Аnna Ivanova 25.08.2009
- Michael Gennadevich, you have just made public speech one of these days at the working session "About Common Requirements of Labour Collectives during Strikes and Mass Actions" which took place in Institute of Problems of Globalization which you head. Basically, it's an event which can become defining for forthcoming autumn, if forecasts for aggravation of social and economic conflicts appear to be true. Whose part do you take?
- First of all, I am on the part of common sense. Having reduced investments, the Russian business in II quarter 2009 changed survival strategy having begun scale economy on salaries. Administrative resource up to a certain time provides restraint of debts on salary and preservation of workplaces, however it can do nothing with absence of money. Result - decrease in real salary (first of all at the expense of transfer into part-time job): if in I quarter it made (in comparison with the same period of last year) 0.8%, in II quarter - 4,6% (including 10% in manufacturing industry and 14% in building). It is essentially important that there is no authentic generalizing data about falling of "grey" and "black" salaries which also, certainly, takes place and negatively influences social and economic situation. It is necessary to understand with ruthless clearness that position of workers as a result of this compelled economy in some cases becomes intolerable. With all the consequences which come with it.
- The same way as in Pikalevo?
- Pikalevo is the tip of the iceberg. Classical example - "AvtoVaz": when it will start working not to its full capacity in September after staying idle in August, workers will find out reduction intolerably low without it salaries. For considerable enough part of them the salaries will be reduced, by available estimations, to 6-8 thousand roubles a month - at that hostel of AvtoVaz costs 3 thousand (that is classical abusing of monopoly position as rent in Tolyatti is much cheaper). However even those who have apartments will fail to live on this money: food prices in the city, of course, are lower, but little less than in Moscow. Working active workers inform about attempts of owners to stop payment of salaries and even to declare lock-out, having thrown out all occupied on the enterprises (including monocities and settlements of city type where they simply won't have place to go) and having replaced them with lowly-paid guestworkers. Besides of kindling of social and international break such policy also provokes inevitable accidents as guestworkers, as a rule, simply don't have necessary qualification (for example, for work on heavy career dump-body trucks)...
- That is working-class movement growth is an objective process?
- Naturally, things mentioned causes protest and working-class movement growth. Workers of Moscow Kalibrovsky factory and in Kurgan, for example, managed to achieve payment of salary which, as you can understand, management tried to "save". However it is clear that strikes for the sake of salaries - a deadlock way.
- On the one hand, having paid salary, administration of the factory could dismiss active workers under this or that pretext, having made workers defenceless and having let off the leash for subsequent economy. Ways "to put out of action" of working activists are diverse: from slipping of drugs with subsequent conviction to physical elimination. On the other hand, the trouble of workers is that they by definition do not know real state of affairs of the enterprise. Roughly speaking, they do not know and cannot know, whether the factory really has no money and if they really are absent - why: because of difficult situation, because of larceny of the director, or because of pulling funds by the owner. In case of ill-intentioned actions of top management or the owner, strike - is a right step, however, if the factory is on the verge of bankruptcy because of objective reasons, strike can appear self-destructive.
- Then, probably, control of workers is necessary?
- Popular slogans "nationalization" and "control of workers" give nothing: on the one hand, the state does not supervise its property (the same state "AvtoVaz" is being supervised, as soon as it's possible to judge, 10 times worse than private "KamAz"), on the other, mechanisms of carrying out of "control of workers" and the base which will make this control effective are not clear. The way out appears possible in realization of legitimate interests of workers by means of available tools of corporate governance. As soon as control without participation in management is fiction, not "control of workers" but "participation of workers in management" should be reasonable demand of workers.
- Control of workers is derivative of participation in management?
- Quite right. Board of directors, to be more precise - Institute of Independent Directors is a natural tool of such participation. It seems that in case when there will appear a threat of dismissal, transfer on part-time job or giving of administrative holiday, salary reduction or pay pause for a certain part of labour collective (for example, 3%), labour collective should receive representation in Board of Directors. Its directors should possess a blocking poll, that is, as a matter of fact, the right of "veto". It's necessary to elect them not through trade unions (which usually are simple appendages of administration of factories) but through Council of Labour Collective which should receive all information from them and confirm instructions according to which its representatives will vote.
- How much it corresponds to the letter and intent of the current legislation?
- Theoretically it, of course, should be registered in the legislation, however, for the present time "Edinaya Russia" dominates in the State Duma and similar mechanism can be realized only within the limits of collective agreements or on the basis of direct agreements between the owners and labour collectives. Certainly, possibility of similar expansion of the structure Board of Directors is unpleasant for any owner, however in crisis conditions responsible owner will agree on it as it will allow to provide not only balance with workers but also trust and real support from their part, it will provide effective development and realization of rational anti-recessionary policy. It is necessary to understand that without an access of workers to management of enterprises appearance of relations of trust and cooperation between them and businessmen in conditions of deepening crisis of general decline is theoretically impossible and, hence, not only growth of social intensity but also transformation of yesterday's Pikalevos into tomorrow's Lenian mines is inevitable.
- That is You propose way out not only to the workers but also to the businessmen?
- Businessmen should understand: refusal to let access of workers to control today could provoke social catastrophes tomorrow, nationalization or transformation of private enterprises into cooperative the day after tomorrow.

"Predatory capitalism took the reins in the 1970s; its emphasis on selfish, often ruthless profit maximization without regard for social and environmental costs led us to the brink of global systemic collapse. Stephen Willis's trail-blazing book guides us along a path to the type of collaboration that can pull us back from the precipice — something that is needed as never before!"

"Dr. Willis captures the essence of the collaborative process: people. He proceeds to detail how cooperation, motivation and process come together to create change. This book is part of series on collaboration and drills down into the "how" of the process which is the "Power Through Collaboration" (PtC) model."
"He clearly defines collaboration and distinguishes it from co-operation. After detailing what collaboration is NOT in 12 different ways, he defines collaboration and states that this process is the "ultimate source of power" for achieving each other's goals. As he continues to develop the concept, he masterfully details the conflict between self-interest and caring for others with illustrations from current history. His business models bring home the point that the concept of caring for others which is at the core of collaboration is the better organizational principle that leads to sustainable outcomes."
"Dr. Willis looks into the future and the enormous capability of technology to function for the benefit of its people or the detriment. We are clearly at a point in history where the choice has to be made. As our privacy is eroded through massive data collection and our world shrinks, we must choose how to manage technology."
"He uses examples from industry, politics and international relations to illustrate his ideas, drawing the reader into an understanding of the concepts and the importance of being an agent for change. As he illustrates the influence and power of technology, the reader is compelled to think deeply about how to act within our sphere of influence."
"The concept of "Power through Collaboration" is illustrated with real life examples. This small book may appear to be a quick read; however, the detail and the conceptualization require slow careful contemplation. This is a book that every practice group could read together to build skill and understanding of how to implement the collaborative process. Dr. Willis makes it clear that we must choose."
– Charles Prabakar; Strategy Leader, PepsiCo/Sears/Disney/Unisys.
"I am glad to have such a helpful book in my win-win toolkit. And I recommend that it be in the strategic arsenal of not only practitioners, but also business leaders in the board room who make the tough calls on strategic choices."
– Ajaya Gupta; International Fortune 100 Business Operations and Project/Program Director. Editor of Management Journal of Institute of Management Technology. Editor of Jaycees Bulletin The Metropolitan.
"Power through Collaboration is a very powerful window to the benefits of collaboration and its success …. well spelled out. Win-win formula!"
– David Thomas; Executive Director of The Roundtable. www.creinfocus.com
"Timeless Information: as a professional whose primary task it is to engage others from disparate business specialties on a daily basis, it is imperative that I have a thorough understanding of the most effective collaboration processes available. Dr. Willis's book provides wonderful insights into how to effectively manage in myriad business situations and contexts, and has been an invaluable resource in helping me to further my own abilities in engaging others in a powerful and efficient manner."
"In a world that is connected as never before, many have lost the art of human collaboration, but Dr. Willis helps us get back on the right track. Highly recommended!"

"A Game Changer: Dr. Willis is absolutely correct that people cannot possibly collaborate if they don't even know what collaboration means. Before explaining what collaboration is, Dr. Willis describes 12 things that people frequently confuse as collaboration. …. I must tell you that just learning what collaboration is not was extremely eye opening."
"I STRONGLY encourage the collaborative community to invite Stephen Willis, Ph.D. to conferences as a plenary speaker because these very serious issues must be adequately addressed. … This book is extremely thought provoking. … I cannot thank Stephen Willis, Ph.D enough for writing this book."

"Power through Collaboration" has proven to be an extremely important resource in helping Collaborative divorce professionals remain "Collaborative." Dr. Willis' book presents a practical system for understanding the underlying dynamics, motivations, personalities and necessary skills that are essential for truly collaborative Team dynamics. Additionally, his strategies for success offer feasible solutions that realistically address situations when true collaboration is not possible and suggests alternative solutions that can be utilized. An excellent resource that is both interesting and innovative."

"Although I do this type of work day in and day out, I learned a great deal from reading Power through Collaboration. I found the elements of collaboration described in this book pervasive in my work, and I also gained some very useful tips on how to deal with them."
"The author's refreshing view of human and organizational interaction speaks to the real pitfalls, but it is also encouraging in helping someone acquire the skills needed to be effective and have the operating tools to be successful. I am involved in the busiest time of the legislative process and these books are making it that much easier to work with stakeholders, regulators and legislators alike."
"I find that not only does the Power through Collaboration perspective embrace a common sense approach, but that it leaves room for innovation to enter the space and empower action. It can give real purpose to conferencing that actually accomplishes something and raises one's enthusiasm for the cause and keeps the motivation sustained. Not an easy feat these days."
"I strongly feel that this book and the author's perspective would be highly valuable to organizations and alliances that are a representative voice to our state government and professional associations."
– Charalee Graydon; Member of Wisdom Councils: Collaborative Global Initiatives. Lawyer, Mediator, and Author of The Judgement Game. www.charaleeg.com
"POWER THROUGH COLLABORATION – FOR A WORLD IN NEED OF COLLABORATIVE MODELS: I was captivated by the book and the examples of collaboration the author provides. An intellectual endeavor which seeks positive ways for people, companies and organizations to work together in decision making and dispute resolution. The book provides accessible and useful information that can be used for collaboration. I believe there is value in the formula Dr. Willis proposes, however, remain skeptical about employing categories and labels to deal with human issues."
"Dr. Willis provides gems of wisdom in his discussion of the six collaboration essentials and the motivations for cooperation ( I would extend this to collaboration). A highlight of Power Through Collaboration is that it encourages communication between people when making decisions and dealing with issues. The book is a page turner that can reach a world that requires collaboration."
– Robert Wilkins; National Director of CollaborateNation.
"I just finished this book by Stephen Willis PhD, which I label as a training manual or text book for understanding the PtC. It is well put together and very instructional. I have always believed in Collaboration but never separated it by Types, Motivations for Cooperation, and Collaboration Essentials. This book allows better understanding in developing the Power of Collaboration. The book is excellent. If you have not read it, you should."

"Lot's of Insights for Healthcare Leaders in this Book: Dr. Willis offers great material for new understanding and productive discussions. He explains his global view of collaboration, which I found particularly interesting, astute, and positively provocative! The "formula" incorporates relationships and complex human behavior in a way that can be drilled into a simple equation which in and of itself is a feat. The book is a fascinating read and I highly recommend it!"

"Genuine collaboration is the new must have skill in the 21st century. The times we live in are calling for a new way of working, living, and leading. We need to heed Einstein's words "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we had when we created them." How can we do things differently? One way is to commit to the cultivation of genuine collaboration as Stephen Willis, Ph. D. outlines in his book Power through Collaboration: The Formula for Success in Challenging Situations."
"I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to improve his or her outcome and experience sustainable success. It is easy to be fooled by people who propose collaboration but are really wolves in sheep's skin. Their real behavior is that of a competitor, an enslaver and even a predator. Stephen opens our eyes to these deceiving behaviors and gives us tools, essentials, and formulas that help us to discern what is genuine collaboration and what is lip service and coming from fear based habits. A must read for anyone serious about leading consciously and living consciously in order to thrive in the 21st century paradigm."
– E. M. Headley; Chair of ACAP Scotland. Company Director of EL Medical Aesthetics ltd.
"This book was brought to my attention by the author, and as I was looking for a reference book that identified what collaboration was and what it was not, this book seemed to tick all the boxes. I was not disappointed."
"I have had this book for a little over a year now, and it is never far from my side. It is easy to read, well-illustrated, and can be used as a point of reference for so many aspects of collaboration and leadership."
"I would recommend this book as an extremely worthwhile buy. Something that you will be able to refer to for many years."
– Dr. Joseph Nwoye; Vice President of Diversity Frontier, Inc.
"A Must Read: Dr. Stephen Willis' book, Power through Collaboration, is an excellent book for everyone, especially leaders in both public and private organizations. Dr. Willis' book presents techniques through which people from different viewpoints could engage in exploration of other perspectives, ideas, and dialogue in ways that deepen and broaden their understanding to help resolve issues that have the potential to lead to conflict."
"I recommend this book for everyone, especially our government leaders who are continuously debating one issue or another. I recommend "Power through Collaboration" very highly."
– Vivek Sood; Chairman and Managing Director of Global Supply Chain Group, Sydney. Author of The 5-STAR Business Network: And The CEOs Who Are Building The Next Generation Of Super Corporations With It.
"Collaboration is the only way forward in most cases – and this book teaches you how to do it properly. I am impressed with the authors comprehensive knowledge which he generously and unhesitatingly shares in this book. The 'Formula for Success' is exactly that – it will lead to much better collaboration in any situation."
"My forte is business collaboration as I wrote in my book "The 5-STAR Business Network" : Cooperation creates that elusive thing called synergy that makes it possible for 2 and 2 to become 5, and is so highly sought after in mergers, acquisitions and takeovers; it is the basis of payments over the replacement value of the property, plant and equipment. But networks have something else working for them – far over and above the synergy – that almost makes 2 and 2 into 22. What is it? I called it synchronicity and it is based on Collaboration."
– C. H. Yeh; CEO of Markowitz Financial Advisory & Management. Board of Directors at Strategic Management Forum (Global).
"Power through Collaboration is of great value in application to leadership, as well as to the areas of negotiation, marketing, market competition, etc. Congratulations to Dr. Stephen Willis for such a notable accomplishment."
– Apek Mulay; Failure Analysis Engineer. Business and Technology Consultant. Author of Mass Capitalism: A Blueprint for Economic Revival. www.apekmulay.com
"In his thought provoking work, the author Stephen Willis provides a practical and psychological approach to how people feel about working together and what makes them feel that way. … When discussing the leadership in collaborative organizations, the author reminds the reader that collaboration is opposite to weakness and powerlessness. He considers collaboration as the most important means of getting things done and achieving important goals. The author warns that any cooperative behavior, which is devoid of human consciousness and capability, is counter-productive for organizations that need to create, innovate, progress and evolve. Collaboration increases with individual empowerment as disempowered individuals are not capable of working willingly and freely making them much less effective collaborators. In fact, Steve mentions that true collaboration is caring about and working to achieve goals of all significant collaborators and stakeholders."
"In an interesting example, the author cites the once famous (now infamous after national best seller Greenspan's Fraud) Alan Greenspan's bad bet on the power of self-interest and competition to function as the primary operating mechanism of a highly dependent and complex global economic system. This bet proved disastrous, unfolding into a global economic recession in 2007. Another important quote by the father of modern economics, Adam Smith, needs to be brought to notice to the reader because it explains Adam Smith's benevolent vision of Capitalism and an introspection as to why US capitalism has transformed from a free market enterprise into monopoly capitalism. According to Adam Smith, ''How selfish so ever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in fortunes of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasures of seeing it."
"Power through Collaboration believes that a good economic system must take into account caring for others as well as self-interest. The author states that despite the reluctance of some powerful players and many obstacles, willingness to advance beyond purely driven self-interest promises unparalleled rewards, advantages, and solutions."
"Steve has also provided a very nice and useful formula for Power through Collaboration. Steve has also provided examples with regards to how to make use of this formula to gauge the level of collaboration in an organization. Last but not least, I conclude this book review with a quote from his book by a famous and most influential business thinkers from Wall Street Journal, Gary Hamel. As per Gary, 'We need a new form of Capitalism for 21st century. One dedicated to the promotion of greater well being rather than single minded pursuit of growth and profits; one that doesn't sacrifice the future for near term; one with an appropriate regard for every stake holder; and one that holds leaders accountable for all the consequences of their actions.' "
– Brent Darnell; President of Brent Darnell International. Author of The People-Profit Connection, 3rd edition. www.brentdarnell.com
"Excellent concepts! There are many great concepts in this book and it should be read by anyone who wants to be better at true collaboration."

– David Anderson; Executive Director of San Francisco Zoo. Executive Director of Audubon Florida.
"During my many years in leadership positions, I have seen first-hand the value of a collaborative approach with partners, clients, and stakeholders, along with a collaborative work environment. In fact, success increasingly coincides with the ability to act in a collaborative fashion."
"Stephen Willis's new book is jam-packed with useful information and tools to succeed at making collaboration work. It is a real workhorse of a book – not the usual fluff and puff – and serves incredibly well with complex, tough situations."
– Cindy Myers, Ph.D.; CEO of Marin Services for Women.
"Stephen Willis takes a deep dive into the ways people work — or don't work — together. His concepts are as original as they are insightful. This book will help you size up your group members in terms of their inclination and motivation to collaborate."
– Rick J. Collins; Executive Director, Veterans 360.

Grilled Shrimp Kabobs, The Great Shell Debate
December 20, 2008
Shrimp kabobs on the barbie(said in an Aussie accent) make a great appeitizer. But we've heard people argue about the best way to grill the shrimp: shell on or shelled. We set out to settle this age old argument once and for all.
1There are hundreds of species of shrimp in the world, but in this recipe we used pink shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico. These have much better flavor than the farm raised shrimp. We use 26-30 count shrimp. This number describes the number of shrimp per pound, so the smaller the number, the bigger the shrimp. To save time, we buy shrimp that have already had the heads removed.
2We shelled half of the shrimp prior to skewering and grilling. The easiest way is to pull off the legs with your fingers. Then peel the shell, leaving the shell around the tail in place. De-vein if you prefer, by running a knife along the back of the shrimp and removing the vein.
1For the shrimp with shells, de-veining will open the shrimp up a bit to get some of the marinade flavor into the shrimp. Be sure to be careful not to remove the shell in the process.
2For marinade we used a simple mix of butter, garlic and lemon. You can warm the butter and garlic in the microwave until the butter starts to melt. Then stir the butter a bit and heat again until the butter is completely melted. Baste the shrimp with half the mix then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
3Skewer the shrimp. As in our previous Beef Shish Kabob post, we use two skewers or a double prong skewer. This keeps the shrimp from spinning when you turn them.
4With the grill fired up to high, and all the way up to temp, add the shrimp with shells directly over the flame, and the shelled shrimp just off the flame. Marinate carefully (butter dripping will flare). Cook for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes then turn and marinate again. Cook another 2 1/2 minutes or until the shell is pink and the shrimp are translucent.
The results? Well, the shrimp with the shell on were much more tender while the shelled shrimp were a bit tougher. But the shelled shrimp had a much better flavor. Experimenting further, we found that a deeper cut when de-veining, almost a butterfly cut, but a little less than 1/2 way through the shrimp, resulted in more surface for the marinade to get in. A longer marinade time, about 2 hours, helped too. But the flavor was still less than the shelled shrimp. However, in the end, we all agreed that the tender shrimp that were cooked with their shells on were our preference. A little dip in the garlic butter, or some cocktail sauce made up for the lack of flavor.

Now, it is possible to control a Nikon DSLR with iPhone!
February 21, 2011 Leave a comment
An extraordinary smartphone, iPhone 4 proves to be a good remote control. It controls Macs, PCs and Apple TVs.
Recently, I came into a iPhone-based solution that even controls a DSLR! This solution, called BlueSLR, comprises a Bluetooth receiver that is connected to a Nikon DSLR and a Bluetooth-enabled iPhone 4.
The controller app on the iPhone 4 is used to send shutter release signal to the Bluetooth module attached to the DSLR. In addition, it transfers GPS information acquired by iPhone 4 to the DSLR, effectively functioning as a geotagger module.
Here is a nice review on that device.

DIR fees are to community pharmacy what a millstone is to the neck of a distance swimmer. They drag us down, they keep us from doing what we are trained to do, and eventually they will suffocate us. So why are we accepting them? Is anybody doing anything to stop, roll back, slow, delay, or prevent these onerous fees from destroying practices?
Maybe we first need to ask, "Who really cares?". If DIR fees are impacting your profitability, does anyone other than you really care? Nope! No one will care until it impacts them. They will only care when they can no longer get a prescription filled because your pharmacy is not there to provide the services they need. The current cry against DIR fees is almost universally community pharmacy driven. The chains don't care. Chains can sell another package of Fruit of the Loom's or another TV and make up the difference. Patient based, community pharmacies do not have that luxury. We depend upon the care we give to fund the care we can give. Therein lies the rub. We (community pharmacies) are being charged a premium in order to be able to provide inferior service to patients. When, all the while, we should be paid more to provide superior patient care.
Take a look at "performance DIR fees". Supposedly a DIR fee based on performance will allow a "high quality pharmacy" to receive a greater reduction in fees as compared to a "low quality pharmacy". (Understand that quality here is defined by a third party based on numbers not designed to "rate" pharmacy performance.) In fact, if you have a pharmacy that is perceived as high quality based on things like PDC adherence rates and MTM completion rates you should expect to receive lower fees and more patients because of that performance. If you receive more patients it is quite probable they will be less adherent and less likely to respond to MTM requests. In which case, your "quality numbers" tank, your DIR fees rise, and you have more patients that cause you to lose more money on each prescription filled. That is bad for the patient, bad for your pharmacy, bad for CMS, and bad for the healthcare system.
So, who's doing something about this? We are. And we've got help. MedHere Today is assisting NCPA in their efforts to address this legislatively, we're talking to CMS about access and quality issues, we're speaking out in national forums to raise awareness, and talking to congressional and senatorial officers to help them understand the issues.
You think DIR fees are not fair? A fair is a place you go to eat greasy food and watch creepy clowns make balloon animals. Fair has no place in this discussion. This discussion must be joined around patient access (my pharmacies are dropping plans with particularly onerous DIR fees limiting those patients access to care) and quality of care. This discussion must center on the patient, not the impact the DIR fees have on your business. Once we convince congress of the deleterious effects of these impossibly high fees, and the limited positive impact on patients, we can then speak to their effects on our small businesses and what Main Street will look like without us.

Om Sathguru Sri Seshadri Swamigal Thiruvadikkae
This Upadesam was imparted to Shri. Mahalinga Swamy of Kottayur, by Avathar Sri Seshadri Swamigal. One day this gentleman in all humility questioned Swami as to why He was constantly running hither and thither.
Swami explained:
"Neither do I run nor do I sleep. I don't perceive that this body exists, nor that it runs. Movement and running is a sort of mischief caused by Prana. This air (Prana Vayu), causes the body to move hither and thither."
The Lord has stated in the 4-18 sloka of Gita:
"Karmanya Karmayaha Paschyeth."
The Upanishad explains that the state of a self-mound does not lie there but is blown by wind to many places. In the same manner, the body of a Jivan Mukta is impelled by Prana Vayu (Life force) hither and thither. This brings out the fact that the soul (Atman) is free from actions (nishkriyan).

Long-eared Owl in the open
It was sub zero today in Hungary, but out we went. We checked some likely spots for roosting Long-eared Owls to the south of Budapest, and found a few. This chap here was incredible, despite having a choice of trees, including some very cosy looking conifers, he was sat out, exposed in a bare tree, above a garden gate and a barking dog.

A blog from our CEO- Chris.
Here at Lincoln Drill Hall we've reached the end of our first Pay What You Decide season of work. As the dust has settled and the 6 productions included have carried on their tours across the UK I've had a moment to sit and analyse the impact of our approach. Has it achieved what we hoped? Did we extend our audience reach? Is it a strategy worth persevering with?
Oddly Moving: He Ain't Heavy
The initial answer is quite simply yes. Comparing this season of 6 shows to a similar season of 6 earlier in the year has seen some real growth. In the Spring/Summer season we sold 233 tickets in total with audience numbers ranging from 19 to 77. We made £1580 in sales for those tickets.
In this season of Pay What You Decide we 'sold' 433 tickets to the work and took donations totalling over £1700.00 achieving both of my main aims for taking this approach – more people seeing the work and maintaining the same level of income from donations as we had through traditional ticket sales. This season the work took place in a range of spaces, from our main auditorium to the Room Upstairs and in our café. We reached over 50% of capacity, a huge leap from previous numbers.

That is a huge boost for us, but there were other positives too. The breadth of audiences increased, with more students from Lincoln College, The University of Lincoln Dance and Drama courses and local schools engaging with the work. We know that there were a small number of people who booked for the entire season of work, and I know from talking with some of them that they would have maybe chosen only one or perhaps two shows to go to had traditional ticket pricing been in place, because 6 shows at £12-£14 each wouldn't have been affordable.
Through the season we continued to strengthen our new partnership working with the YMCA at the Showroom. One of the visiting companies undertook a Circus Workshop at their venue and the YMCA brought a group of young people to see a show exploring LGBT+ people navigating the asylum system. We also presented some of the work with Compassionate Lincoln, again making clear the remit that I feel the venue has to community engagement and development.
Maison Foo: A Thing Mislaid
For me Pay What You Decide is about bridging a gap. By which I mean a gap in what is on offer to audiences in the city. We are asking audiences to take big artistic leaps, to have faith and trust us when we place value in the contemporary performance we present here. We are asking them not to stay at home in front of the telly, or go and see a West End Musical that will be comfortable and familiar. We're asking them to come on a journey to explore our society, politics, the world in which we live.
So as a programmer I'm placing a value on the passion and resources the artists are putting into making that work, for instance ensuring that fees are paid to those artists. There have been interesting conversations about whether by Paying What You Decide, audiences could be devaluing the work if they donate small amounts. I don't agree. I think the art is devalued if the effort the artist has put into creating it, isn't performed in front of more than 15-20 people. The experience for the show, the performers and the audience is devalued. Audience are already making a value call on a show with a £14 ticket by choosing not to come at all.
White Slate Theatre: Re:Production.
A bigger audience, donating at the end creates a better experience for all involved, thereby increasing the value of the art and the experience. Semantically you could call it different things; some use Pay What You Want – which I don't think is really much different, or Pay What You Can Afford – which perhaps could be seen as stigmatising to those who perhaps can't afford much. The wording can be played about with.
The crunch is though, that around 200 more people have experienced this work than probably would have done if they'd had to pay up front. That alone allows us to start building larger audiences for contemporary work, which in turn ensures that artists creating the work feel value.
And that's why we'll continue this strategy into Spring and Summer 2019. Between February and June there'll be a further 8 productions presented as Pay What You Decide. Again there's a real mix, from Mask Theatre to Indian Dance, from family circus to work exploring possible outcomes of a post Brexit world. All the details are on our website www.lincolndrillhall.com and tickets are available now.

What If? #5 Everton in the 80s
The fifth installment of our What If? series sees Spongers' own Adam Bushby look at the impact the five-year European ban had on the great Everton side.
After convening for an emergency session in Switzerland on June 2 1985, Uefa chiefs issued a statement that would have immediate and lasting consequences: English clubs were banned from Europe, indefinitely. At Goodison Park in particular, home as it was of reigning First Division champions Everton, the news was greeted with anger and dismay. Following the tragic events a few days earlier at the crumbling Heysel Stadium in Brussels, the sentiment was pretty much universal; enough was enough. Thirty nine Juventus fans went to a football match that day and never came back. The European showpiece between Liverpool and the Bianconeri will forever be remembered for events that happened in the stands, rather than on the pitch, and set in motion much-needed introspection as an English disease threatened to become a Europe-engulfing epidemic.
Heysel was the nadir of course, but English football had already been shamed that year by the Kenilworth Road riot on March 13, when Millwall supporters tore the ground to bits. A month later, a 14-year-old boy was crushed to death at a game between Leeds and Birmingham, an event described by Justice Popplewell during the Popplewell Committee investigation into hooliganism as "more like the Battle of Agincourt than a football match". To emphasise the scale of the problem, that bastion of common sense and thoroughly nice guy Ken Bates advocated the use of electric fences in football grounds. The Valley Parade fire on May 11 would claim the lives of 56 people, with a further 265 injured.
During the second reading in the House of Commons of the Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc.) Bill on July 3 1985, Hansard documents home secretary Leon Brittan as lamenting: 'The series of appalling and shameful events in the second half of last season—at Luton, at Birmingham and of course in Brussels, and elsewhere — has shaken the whole nation.'
It came to pass that English clubs would be banned from all European competitions for five years; Liverpool for six. And so back to Goodison. On May 15, Everton got their hands on their first piece of European silverware, beating Rapid Vienna 3-1 in Rotterdam. They also won the First Division by an astounding 13-point margin ahead of their city neighbours, finishing up with 90 points, as well as being top scorers in the division by seven goals, and were only denied a famous treble by Manchester United's Norman Whiteside in extra time in the FA Cup final. These were the days when Merseyside, and not Manchester, dominated English football. Since the 1980-81 season, the title had not left the city of Liverpool and it would not do so again until Arsenal's epic win over Liverpool in the final game of 1988-89.
Which leads one to wonder what might have been during those five forlorn years, when English football was rooted firmly in the doldrums, left in the dark to finally get its house in order while on the continent Arrigo Sacchi took the plaudits, winning back-to-back European Cups with a Dutch-infused AC Milan side that would be considered one of the greatest of all time. With English football in the early and mid parts of the 80s so subjugated by the spectre of hooliganism, it is very easy to forget that it was English sides who had dominated Europe in the years prior to the ban. Incredibly, between 1976 and 1982, the European Cup didn't leave English shores. In that time Liverpool won a hat-trick of competitions, Nottingham Forest won back-to-back big cups under Brian Clough and Aston Villa won their solitary European Cup. Liverpool then won it again in '84.
It may be nothing but conjecture, but it doesn't take such a leap of imagination to picture Kevin Ratcliffe lifting the European Cup rather than Steaua Bucharest's Stefan Iovan in '86 or Joao Pinto of Porto a year later. The Everton side of 1984-85 was a relatively young one with the experienced Peter Reid and Andy Gray added. To the younger generation, Reid may now just be an ageing man with the head of a monkey, famous for the amusing way he said Gerardo Torrado in the 2002 World Cup and selling his cup final medal to help save Plymouth, but he could really play. So much so that Reid was voted fourth best player in the world in 1985 behind Michel Platini, Preban Elkjaer and Diego Maradona. And Gray, when he wasn't being sexist, was your classic British 'put himself about' striker, revelling in scoring spectacular diving headers. Add to those two the brilliant Neville Southall, England winger Trevor Steven, the 'robust' Welsh defender Ratcliffe, ball-winning foil to Reid Paul Bracewell, free-kick specialist and left-foot-wanded Kevin Sheedy and Scotland striker Graeme Sharp, and it was quite a side.
A season later, when Everton and the rest of England would be banned, Gray would be replaced by a young Gary Lineker, joint top scorer in the league with 24 goals the season before and who would finish the 1985-86 season with 30 and the Golden Boot. For that season and the next, Everton and Liverpool were head and shoulders above the rest of the First Division. Who knows what they'd have achieved in Europe. These were the days before the Champions League was a bulge in Lennart Johansson's trousers which meant that anyone could draw anyone; there were no seedings. England's unprecedented dominance in the late 70s and early 80s surely points to the fact that more European trophies would have been won during the years of the ban. And Merseyside could certainly have had their fair share.
But history intervened, and the great Everton side was broken up when ambitious manager Howard Kendall inevitably sought European football and joined Terry Venables as an Englishman managing in Spain, taking the Athletic Bilbao job. Kendall admitted to the Independent in 2010 that he 'wanted Europe':
'I know it was a tragedy but in purely football terms I think that Everton suffered more than anyone. We were on a high, we'd just qualified for the European Cup and we wanted to prove we were the best. One of the biggest compliments was from Brian Clough during his commentary [on the Rapid Vienna game]. He said: 'On that performance, how long is this team going to rule Europe?''
Highlighting the unfairness of the ban, Joe Ashton, MP for Bassetlaw, explained in the Commons: 'A great deal of damage has been done to the image of football in this country. As my hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool, Walton (Mr Heffer) mentioned, when Everton went to Rotterdam, there was not a single arrest and nothing went wrong. To punish, or to suggest punishing, innocent people is something that the House should never condone. Yet all too often, when there is a fault, a crime or a happening at a football match immediately the cry is, "Punish everybody". The supporters of Norwich committed no crime. They were totally innocent. They had a perfect record and had never been in trouble, but immediately after the Liverpool problem in Brussels all English clubs were banned.'
The wounds were still raw in the blue half of the city, with David Moyes expressing characteristically blunt sentiments on the matter, telling the Mail in 2007: "It has taken us a long time to get back into Europe, in the 80s Everton were there all the time, but then through no fault of their own they were denied the chance to continue to compete at that level. We are now, after all these years, beginning to get back for this club what the fans have missed all these years."
He added: 'There is a bit of me that wants to tell people in Europe that they should not forget that Everton were champions of England, and but for the Heysel disaster they have been denied a chance to have a long run in Europe. People forget that and don't understand what happened. Everton were unfortunate but I accept it was a tragedy that made football unimportant… What happened after Heysel changed lots of careers. Players and managers. Since then we have been watching from the outside and the club was denied the chance to grow and benefit from the money in European competition.'
Moyes had a very valid point. Everton's history will always be inextricably linked to those tragic events that occurred at Heysel on May 29 1985. Paling into insignificance of course when compared with the deaths of 39 people, and as Moyes put it himself – '[Heysel] was a tragedy that made football unimportant' – one nevertheless fights the urge to wonder what might have been in those five dark years.

it was such a shame that everton were denied their chance of sitting at the top table of european football and winning! To think that a lot of people forget how big and how good Everton were then and i would have loved to have seen them conquer europe in those times. Who knows where we would be now....COYB ETIDReplyDelete
I've heard this argument a lot from Everton fans, and I think that there is undoubtedly a strong argument to say that such a strong side, who would have been building on both their Cup Winners Cup success and the success that similar English teams had had in Europe in the immediate past few years, could have won the 1986 European Cup at least.ReplyDelete
However I can think of three potential contrary arguments as to why that might not have happened or at least to banish the notion that Heysel ruined Everton's long term chances.
As for the immediate prospects of the first two or three years after Heysel, when Everton were one of the clear best two teams alongside Liverpool, I think it is a bit arrogant to presume that they would have walked to the title. In those days, before the Champions League, the biggest teams from the biggest leagues weren't protected. For all the chances that Everton might have had an easy run playing smaller teams from Eastern Europe or Scandinavia, they might have drawn Bayern Munich, Juventus or Barcelona in the first round. Indeed in 1987, Maradona's Serie A winning Napoli, were drawn against Real Madrid in the first round, and were promptly knocked out. Liverpool were similarly drawn against Nottingham Forest in the late 70s and went out early. Let's also not forget that the 1985 vintage included Andy Grey, who whilst not being as productive as Gary Lineker the following season, it could be argued was a better fit into the team and was an integral part of the success they had had. Without Grey in 1986, would Everton have been as successful in the European Cup that year? Of course we will never know, but it is interesting to consider these things.
Looking beyond the immediate period that was lost to Everton, comes the argument that the team wouldn't have broken up as it did in the late 80s, and that European football would have kept Everton as a top side competing for the title, rather than the top 6 side they became by 1990. The two strands of this come down to money I fancy. Firstly, despite any European glory coming the players way, the English first division was not the rich super league that the premier league would become. Players had been leaving top English teams, not for the chance to experience European football per se or the chance to learn a new language, but for money for the previous 20 years. Before the ban, Ray Wilkins left a decent Manchester United team for AC Milan; Kevin Keegan left league winning and European Cup winning Liverpool for Hamburg; Liam Brady and Trevor Francis both similarly left top cup, league, European elite teams for continental riches. Despite continuing Evertonian European success, it is a very mute point that the likes of Trevor Steven, Gary Stevens, Gary Lineker etc. would have stayed at the club. Lineker went because it was Barcelona, and he would have gone no matter what had happened at Everton. Stevens and Steven both left the team three or four years after Heysel, so the notion that they left to play in Europe is greatly exaggerated. If they had left for European football they would have left a lot earlier.
The final financial part to this, and perhaps the most important, is what happened to Liverpool by the time Kenny Dalglish had left, in that Everton, despite being league winners twice in three years (1985, 1987), had started to suffer financial difficulties that would mean that they could not attract the new talent that would keep them at the top of the pile. By 1989/1990, the team was aging (Graham Sharp, Kevin Sheedy, Kevin Ratcliffe were not the players they had been in 1985/1986) and they were not buying the quality of players needed to keep them where they wanted to be. And whilst Howard Kendell had experienced great success with Everton in the mid 80s, it is unclear whether he could have continued to have provided it. He was not sucessful in Spain, and his subsequent employment at Everton was spent in relegation dog fights.
