Overcoming commercial, technical and regulatory challenges in a global animal health company
A Senior Executive Director explains the critical role of ScienceDirect in drug discovery and development
Time and money have become crucial factors in bringing a successful drug to market. In this article, a pharmaceutical executive director shares how ScienceDirect, with its wide breadth and depth of scholarly research, helps overcome these challenges.
With time and money becoming more crucial factors in drug discovery and development, it must be proven in a relatively short amount of time that an idea will be successful. Ken Balthis, a Senior Executive Director at a global animal health company, is tasked with identifying new technologies for application to animal health and overseeing vaccine research. Because the number of drug approvals is the most important metric of success at his company, he has to be sure he's working with the best ideas. To ensure that's the case, he must be able to answer three questions quickly and effectively: Does it make commercial sense? What are the chances of succeeding technically? What are the chances of regulatory approval?
To answer these questions, Balthis uses ScienceDirect, which allows him to access the full breadth and depth of Elsevier's research. ScienceDirect helps him assess the commercial feasibility of a new drug by allowing him to look at the markets, see how many animal patients there are and determine what the potential income might be if the research is successful. ScienceDirect also enables thorough technical feasibility assessments to help pharma companies decide whether or not to move forward with a project. The full-text articles make it possible for Balthis and his team to see exactly how experiments are set up and conducted, giving them the ability to do an in-depth analysis not possible with just abstracts.
ScienceDirect is very important to drug discovery and development. There isn't a scientist I've worked with who doesn't tap almost daily into this information source. It has an impact on almost every drug that comes to market.
Ken Balthis, Senior Executive Director
ScienceDirect significantly improves the team's chances of success because it helps them identify new targets and understand side effects, toxicities and even adverse events. It has a direct impact on every single drug that they take to market. The ability to do proper literature research with ScienceDirect increases Balthis' and his team's R&D productivity. Being able to cross check a wide variety of different studies has helped them to get critical insight that prevented the company from investing in something that would have turned into a dead end.
It's important that my project teams look at the data objectively and not ignore certain information. A thorough search using ScienceDirect can help us see if a target or mechanism is tightly tied to a toxicity and can prevent us from taking a project down a dead-end and wasting money.

This week, Chronicle multimedia editor Marcus Chan podcasts from the Podcast and Portable Media Expo in Ontario, Calif. Marcus interviews Rick Klau of Feedburner about the growth of the podcast market and the impact of soon-to-be-released Internet Explorer 7.
Then he talks with expo creator Tim Bourquin about the trends he's noticing in this two-year-old medium. Marcus also gets Tim's reaction to a comment made by Leo Laporte, the popular tech podcaster, who urged attendees during his keynote to consider moving beyond the term "podcast" in favor of something not so closely tied to Apple's brand and products.</p.
Marcus also talked with online marketing guru and author Paul Colligan about what he thinks 2007 has in store for podcasting (for him, three letters: i-T-V).
Also, Chronicle Computing Q&A columnist David Einstein has tips for hooking up an HDTV.

Over on Unfair Park earlier this week, we told you about Duncan Brannan, the God-fearing voice actor behind the Chuck E. Cheese mascot, who was let go after close to 20 years of service to the Irving-based chain. How did he find out? He heard "Chuck's Hot New Single," which featured the voice of someone who was not him. That's ice world, CEC. Ice world.
Still, it's sort of surprising it's taken them this long to update their brand. That's the mouse I remember from my childhood, much of which was spent in the bacteria-laden ballpit of a Jacksonville Chuck E. Cheese. (I think my parents wanted to strengthen my immune system.) In the process of making over their rodent mascot and updating it as an edgier, more "rock and roll" personality, they snagged Bowling For Soup frontman Jaret Reddick, who'd done voice work in the past, as their new cheerleader.
"The character was something we developed," Reddick says. "He just sounds like an excited me, at a Bowling For Soup show. Friends call it my 'people voice,' like when I see someone I know, and my voice goes up a few octaves. So Chuck is my Bowling For Soup voice and my people voice."
As the father of a six and nine-year-old, Reddick's got his work cut out for him, but he also has fond memories of the chain. "One of the reasons I was so exited was I grew up in Wichita Falls, and we had Showbiz Pizza, which then turned into a Chuck E. Cheese," he says. "I was literally in there five, six, seven times a year. If you know me or my band, you know I'm very much a kid.

"It's a freaking dream come true," he continues. "I was actually doing a session yesterday, and the Chuck E. Cheese big wigs are sitting there, watching, and I had to take a moment and say, "I'm a 40-year-old man and I'm Chuck E. Cheese."

HAMPTON — Roscoe Hale wasn't even born when "The Dukes of Hazzard" was popular in the mid-1980s. But he's caught a few episodes in syndication, so he understands the obvious nickname given to him by Hampton's coaching staff.
"Roscoe P. Coltrane!" Crabbers coach Mike Smith yelled when Hale's name was brought up. And for you kids out there, Roscoe P. Coltrane was the bumbling sheriff on "The Dukes of Hazzard" television show.
There was nothing bumbling about Hale on Friday night as he rushed for a career-high 156 yards in Hampton's 49-0 waxing of Kecoughtan at Darling Stadium. Hale scored on touchdown runs of 27 and 58 and had a 72-yarder negated for a block-in-the-back penalty.
With power back Marshawn Williams, who had all 101 of his yards in the first half, Hale gives Hampton's offense an extra gear. And that gear is speed, which he also shows as a sprinter in track season.
"Fastest guy in the district," Smith said of Hale. "We thought with Roscoe's speed we could get outside. It worked pretty good. Marshawn's an unselfish player. He'll block or run."
Hampton (8-1, 7-1 Peninsula District) piled up 412 yards rushing, 305 of which came in the first 19 minutes of the game. In addition to Williams, quarterback Deon Newsome ran for 87 yards and two touchdowns and freshman Demetrius Strickland had 61 yards and a score.
Defensively, the Crabbers held Kecoughtan to 83 total yards and pitched their fifth consecutive shutout. Hampton hasn't given up a point since the fourth quarter of a 42-20 win over Woodside on Sept. 21.
Hale had played only sparingly until rushing for 111 yards on four carries in last week's win over Menchville. But count on seeing him plenty in next week's showdown against Phoebus on Thursday night at Darling.
"We've been practicing hard running the ball behind the line," Hale said. "And I give it to the line, they do their thing. The running backs — me, Marshawn, Little D (Strickland) — we've been running the rock good behind them."
Hampton wasted little time taking control of this one. On the third play from scrimmage, Williams went untouched for a 60-yard touchdown to put the Crabbers up 7-0 only 67 seconds into the game.
After the Warriors (4-5, 3-5) went three-and-out, Hale scored on a 27-yard touchdown run to make it 13-0. When they got the ball back, the Crabbers took a 20-0 lead on Newsome's 2-yard run with 9:54 left in the second quarter.
After another Kecoughtan three-and-out, Hale scored on a 58-yard sprint to make it 28-0 after the two-point conversion. The Crabbers' final score of the half came on Newsome's 49-yard, cross-the-field, touchdown run to make it 35-0 with 5:15 left in the half.
The entire second half was played with a running clock.
First quarter
Ham: Williams 60 run (Lomax kick), 10:53.
Ham: Hale 27 run (kick failed), 7:56.
Second quarter
Ham: Newsome 2 run (Lomax kick), 9:54.
Ham: Hale 58 run (Williams pass from Newsome), 7:50.
Ham: Newsome 49 run (Lomax kick), 5:15.
Fourth quarter

Ham: Strickland 30 run (Lomax kick), 7:09.

Victoria Derbyshire's fears about stripping on TV for breast cancer awareness
Victoria Derbyshire has said that her stripping off on TV to raise awareness of breast cancer is not "nudity for the sake of it" and cannot be compared to a revealing picture by Kim Kardashian.
The broadcaster is one of a group of eight female stars taking part in ITV's The Real Full Monty: Ladies' Night, following the success of an all-male version last year for prostate cancer, and she said she is "completely apprehensive" about it.
The show will see Derbyshire and her co-stars – including Loose Women host Coleen Nolan and former Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton – create a show-stopping performance while battling their nerves and learning to love their bodies for the charitable cause.
Derbyshire, who went through chemotherapy, radiotherapy and a mastectomy following her breast cancer diagnosis in 2015, said that, while she had fears about taking part in the programme, she is comfortable with her body.
She told the Radio Times: "I'm not ashamed of how I look, but I do look different to other women, and the idea of revealing that is absolutely nerve-racking."
Derbyshire, 49, said she does not have "body issues" in her house, and that she walks around naked in front of her partner Mark Sandell and their two sons Oliver and Joe, because it is "no big deal".
"I am happy for them to see what a mum of two who's had breast cancer looks like," she said.
"They don't bat an eyelid. Of course they don't. I'm their mum. But what we are planning to do (on television) is on a different scale altogether."
Derbyshire said that their challenge "couldn't be further away from an Instagram post by Kim Kardashian".
She added: "It's not just nudity for the sake of it, or for looking glamorous. It's nudity for a purpose – to say this is what can happen when you get a diagnosis of breast cancer.
"And this is why it can be OK. And this is what we can do to talk to you about trying to make sure you don't get breast cancer.
"And if you are diagnosed with breast cancer, depending on the diagnosis, you might be able to get through it, like me.
Derbyshire, Nolan and Heaton will be joined by Hi-de-Hi star Ruth Madoc, reality TV star Megan McKenna, Emmerdale actress Sally Dexter, actress Helen Lederer and presenter Sarah-Jane Crawford for The Real Full Monty: Ladies' Night.
Derbyshire said that the eight of them have bonded because "all of our lives have been touched by cancer".
The Real Full Monty aired last year and saw the likes of Pointless presenter Alexander Armstrong and dancer Wayne Sleep strip off to raise awareness of prostate cancer.
The Real Full Monty: Ladies' Night airs at 9pm on ITV on Thursday March 29.
Radio Times is on sale now.

Getting the message out about a new promotional giveaway can make an initial investment seem even more expensive. First there's the expense of purchasing custom branded items, and then there's advertising for the event or product giveaway in order to get people to come in for it. Smart companies have been finding ways of achieving this advertising feat in less expensive and more visible ways, increasing their return on investment through strategy.
Fortunately, online social media outlets have been making this process progressively easier for businesses of all sizes. Even the biggest brands have seen the benefit of online media networking for their promotional products, and they're driving some new ideas to attract attention that other organizations should note.
Making a splash
Even if you have a great product like a custom logo tote bag or similar seasonal giveaway items, there's no way for people to know about the promotion unless you find some way of advertising to consumers that it's happening. This is the same problem faced by major organizations, but while they may have a lot more money for marketing than a small entity, the mark of a good strategy is always looking for ways to cut costs.
That's why brands like 7-Eleven and Starbucks promote their beverages not only through traditional methods but also with online tools. These stores usually offer promotional sales, but a recent trend for other retailers involves handing out samples, so that's the way these two coupons have gone as well, and with great results.
7-Eleven recently ran a promotional giveaway of their trademark Slurpee drink, providing taste samples for free to customers in special branded logo cups that were much smaller than regular drink sizes. This not only gave consumers a little taste of what they could expect from every flavor without committing to buy, it served to pull more people into stores, get them interested in making a specific purchase and compelled them to take cups with them and spread the company's advertising.
According to a statement from the organization, its use of social media tools has doubled their giveaway numbers. This means the brand has twice as much exposure using these outlets without incurring any additional cost, as Facebook and Twitter are free to use, even for businesses.
International awareness
This trend in social media success isn't isolated to the United States. Other nations can not only access the same channels and utilities, they have been using these same advertising tools the same as American companies, making them even more valuable assets in some areas like Canada where organizations have taken traditional advertising wars to the internet. Almost two-thirds of business owners said in a recent study that they had seen marked success from promoting with online networks.
"Social media represents a powerful and cost-effective tool that, when used properly, can help any business grow," said UPS Canada's small business director Paul Gaspar. "Firms can broaden their existing brand equity while building real relationships with current and potential clients."
These tools make advertising for promotional giveaways free and easy as compared to any paper ad campaign. That's why they've gained so much popularity with younger business owners and with larger organizations who recognize the innovative ways this technology can be used to create revenue. Using social media for promotional product information can get people talking about a business online, spreading awareness of the brand around the globe.

Elevation Certificate Free Review
An Elevation Certificate details a structure's elevation. This certificate verifies the elevation of the lowest floor of a house relative to the ground. It's especially important if your house/building is in a FEMA high-risk flood zone.
If you find that the Lowest Adjacent Grade (LAG) of the structure is above the FEMA Base Flood Elevation (BFE), a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) of removal is possible. This will drop the mandatory flood insurance requirement, and if the homeowner decides to have flood insurance, it's available at a heavily reduced price.
How to get an Elevation Certificate
If you are looking for an elevation certificate, check with your local government for any elevation information or certificate on file. You may have one in your closing documents. If not, check with the local building department to see if there is one in your permit file or contact the builder that sold the property. If nothing is available, you must contract a state-licensed surveyor to complete the Elevation Certificate. The price of an elevation certificate varies greatly by state. We recommend calling around to find an average price in the area…hopefully, the homeowner can find a good deal.
What should I do if I have an Elevation Certificate?
You can email us a copy for a Free Elevation Certificate Review. We will study the elevations and discuss your options. Save time and money by working with an experienced FEMA Map Specialist.
Simply email it to email@example.com
Does an Elevation Certificate expire?
No- even an older elevation certificate has valuable information. While the FEMA Base Flood Elevation (BFE), showing the high-risk flood zone, may change over time, the Lowest Adjacent Grade (LAG) of the house/structure does not change. We can still compare the LAG to the current FEMA BFE.

I got a White Blackberry Pearl!April 25, 2007 at 8:41 am | Posted in Blackberry Pearl, on the go, Reviews | Leave a comment
Whoo, I finally got myself a new phone!
So I decided on getting a White Blackberry Pearl (8100R). I'm actually quite loving it since it syncs with my Mac so seamlessly. There a little nicks and twists with the phone, but theres always something with any phone, so its all good. I only got it yesterday and I've already changed stuff around, lol. The pearl on the center pad is now red.
There are a million reviews about this phone out there, so I won't even bore you with that kind of stuff. But that might be cause I'm lazy too… But I will post some mods/hacks/customs I find for the pearl (as they are a hard commodity to find apparently). Hmm, anyone know how to send themes to the phone? :s the JAD files I mean….apparently my mac can't send it via bluetooth cause….well…its not supported? I can access the media card though…but can't select the jad file from the phone (or at least I don't know a way to do it yet…)
Meh, I'll work it out.

This morning as I was buttoning my shirt, a button fell off.
After that, I picked up my briefcase, and the handle fell off.
Then I went to open the door, and the doorknob fell off.
I went to get into my car, and the door handle came off in my hand.
Now I'm afraid to pee.

Ghostrider Module (Cyberware)
Cost: Low
This implant allows the character to carry another infomorph inside their head. This infomorph could be another muse, an AI, a backed-up ego, or a fork. The module is linked to the character's mesh inserts, so the ghost-rider can access the mesh. The character may limit the ghostrider's access, or may allow them direct access to their sensory information, thoughts, communications, and other implants.

I think you captured it well, thank you for distillation. Perhaps one other COST of the localName issue is the question of document.createElement. document.createElement('x-button') creates <button is='x-button'>, people complain because the tag names do not match. document.createElement('button').setAttribute('is', 'x-button'), doesn't work this way, "is" is not a standard attribute (according to me) document.createElement('button', 'x-button'), now I cannot encode my tag in a single variable (i.e. document.createElement(someTag)) document.createElement('button/x-button'), I just made this up, but maybe it would work.

My apologies, brave ones–as the d numbers get bigger, it gets harder and harder to add anything significant about T & T. I'm really just continuing this because of the challenge I set myself.
17 is for Trollworld basketball player. When rolling 3D6 for a human character's height, a 17 generates a height of 6 feet 11 inches tall. It generates a weight of 310 pounds. And that's all pure power-packed barbarian muscle.
17 is the Strength required to bend an extra-heavy bow (one with a draw weight of over 100 pounds. 17 is also the Strength required to wield a heavy mace or a morningstar.
It seems to me that 17 was a magic number in 1st edition Dungeons and Dragons, being the number of character levels possible. In my naivete circa 1975, I thought 17 was as high as levels needed to go in role-playing games. Thus, my ultimate magic spells in 1st edition T & T were 17th level, and they were Summoning, Banishing, and Deluxe Staff. The Deluxe Staff spell is kind of special: the text reads: This is a spell you can't do, folks. You may buy deluxe staves from the (Wizards) Guild (5000 gold pieces), but they are actually made by a small, very secretive clan of wizards who like their privacy. There is no such thing as "deluxe staff material" for weapons or armor. Considering that the deluxe staff is described as absolutely indestructible, that's a good thing.
If you know any other good 17s for Tunnels and Trolls, feel free to list them in the comments below. I'm a day late on these blogs already, but I'll catch up some time. (ha! and if you believe that, I have some swamp land I'd like to show you.)

In Sardinia there is a huge variety of Pecorino cheeses, all with different characteristics. One of these Pecorino cheeses is called "Romano" because it was produced according to a special technique used by the cheese makers in the Roman countryside. At the end of the 19th century, this technique of processing milk moved to Sardinia and the island is now the largest producer of this type of cheese. The initiative was taken by entrepreneurs of Rome and Naples who discovered the potential profit in producing cheese from the Sardinian livestock and the aromatic meadows. The cheese is principally aimed at the US market. It is often said that today's Pecorino Romano originates directly from the cheeses of Ancient Rome, but few references identify it specifically. There was a type of Pecorino cheese called caseus lunensis, which Pliny the Elder said may have been smoked, weighed around 300-350kg/661.6-771.6lb and was produced between Liguria and Tuscany. Today Pecorino Romano has been marked as "Protected Denomination of Origin", DOP, and is produced by cheese factories using pure sheep's milk obtained from November to June from free-range animals. The cheese factories have formed a consortium and established a number of product specifications: the cheese must be aged for a minimum of eight months, the texture must be compact or marked with small eyes and be white or straw-colored, the aroma is fragrant and the flavor is typically piquant. The cheese is best eaten sliced when young and grated when mature.

About Us
What started as a few friends traveling the dirt roads of Texas in a Volkswagen Rabbit has become the source of local organic food for thousands of people in the Dallas metroplex. At Urban Acres, our goal is to provide our community with the very best local and organic foods while supporting Texas farm families and artisans. So, we created a "co-op style" produce system with pickup locations all over Dallas that makes shopping easy and trying new veggies fun.
All of us here at Urban Acres are really passionate about knowing where our food comes from, and we like taking care of the earth by getting food from around the corner and not a million miles away. Since that first trip cruising Texas farm roads in the VW Rabbit, we've grown to thousands of members all over Dallas – people from all different backgrounds and walks of life who have something in common: the desire for fresh, organic, wholesome food that supports Texas agriculture.
We also operate our very own farm store in North Oak Cliff, just across the river from downtown Dallas. Our farm store allows small farmers and local artisans to have a voice and share their gifts. It's also one of our co-op style produce pickup locations.
So that's us…Urban Acres. We love local. We believe in organic. And we are passionate about food!
We are committed to…
Connecting with Texas farmers and artisans whenever possible to carry the best quality local foods. Supporting the community and neighborhoods where our store is located.
Making sure all produce is always organic! All meats and dairy we carry are from sustainable farms where the pastured animals are treated humanely. We also insist upon the standards of no pesticides or hormones, non-genetically modified, no artificial flavoring, no hydrogenated oils, and no MSG. That means the best-tasting food without all the junk. REAL food!
Caring about the earth with which we've been entrusted. This means recycling, using reclaimed wood to build counters and shelves in our stores, composting, encouraging community gardens and sustainable practices. And of course, using as many local farms as possible so your food doesn't have to travel a million miles!
Purchasing our produce cooperatively, meaning you commit to a share of fruits & vegetables that is chosen for you out of the bounty available at the time. Our "farm stand" pickup locations throughout the city allow people from all different neighborhoods to be involved. The best thing is that we shop for your produce for you! All you have to do is pick it up.
Keeping our stores small so we can keep the personal connection with our customers and the neighborhood market feel. We want to know your name!

called Vaisvânara. Well, let us go to him." They went to him.
3. But he reflected: "Those great householders and great theologians will examine me, and I shall not be able to tell them all; therefore I shall recommend another teacher to them."
4. He said to them: "Sirs, Asvapati Kaikeya knows at present that Self, called Vaisvânara. Well, let us go to him." They went to him.
5. When they arrived (the king) ordered proper presents to be made separately to each of them. And rising the next morning[1] he said: "In my kingdom there is no thief, no miser, no drunkard, no man without an altar in his house, no ignorant person, no adulterer, much less an adulteress. I[2] am going to perform a sacrifice, Sirs, and as much wealth as I give to each Ritvig priest, I shall give to you, Sirs. Please to stay here."
6. They replied: "Every man ought to say for what purpose he comes. You know at present that Vaisvânara Self, tell us that."
7. He said: "To-morrow I shall give you an answer." Therefore on the next morning they approached him, carrying fuel in their hands (like students), and he, without first demanding any preparatory rites[3], said to them:
- ↑ The commentator explains that the king, seeing that they would not accept his presents, and thinking that they did not consider him worthy of bestowing presents on them, made these remarks.
- ↑ When they still refused his presents, he thought the presents he had offered were too small, and therefore invited them to a sacrifice.
- ↑ He was satisfied with the humility of the Brahmans, who, being Brahmans, came to him, who was not a Brahman, as pupils. Generally a pupil has first to pass through several initiatory rites before he is admitted to the benefit of his master's teaching.

Brent-WTI Crude Oil Spread Hits Record as Worries About WTI Relevance Grow
The price gap between the world's two main oil benchmarks widened to a record level Friday after the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index said this week that it will add Brent crude, the European crude benchmark, to its index starting in 2012, analysts said.
Previously, WTI crude, the U.S. crude benchmark, was the only crude included on the index. But Brent will now account for one third of the index and WTI for two thirds, meaning that index managers will have to reduce the amount of WTI futures that they hold and start buying some Brent futures, said Olivier Jakob, an analyst at Petromatrix.
This move will pressure the price of WTI futures lower and support the price of Brent futures, which will see higher demand, Jakob said.
Earlier, the spread reached $28.07, 19.2% higher than it closed Monday, before Dow Jones Indexes made the announcement.
The decision raises existing concerns about the viability of the WTI contract as a benchmark and tool for risk management, say Barclays Capital analysts.
"Although we do not share the view that WTI is yet a completely broken benchmark, this move suggests that its relevance for financial market participants is waning in a similar way to what has already happened in the physical crude market," it says.
While they don't think fundamentals support a further widening of the WTI-Brent spread, Barclays analysts say the spread is extremely volatile and "there is risk that traders positioning around the scheduled rebalancing date in January could push these costs even higher."
Brent crude was recently 2.4% higher at $111.87 a barrel, while Nymex crude was up 2.9% to $86.67.

As the world tees up for arguably the biggest sporting fiesta this year -- RIO 2016, every participating Nation is hoping its athletes would create magic and deliver some world class performances that would place their Nation on the map of Olympic winners.
But for many, the Road To Rio has been anything but straight :
The Nigerian Olympics team left for the Rio amidst claims of unavailability of funds to fly to team to Rio. This claim was quickly rebutted by the NOC, only another claim to resurface that Mikel Obi had supported to team with a donation of $30,000. Again, the NOC rebutted this quickly. Then again, young Mikel Obi ended up being the captain of the entire Olympic Team (27 athletes in 8 events) which had Olympic veterans like Table Tennis star Funke Oshonaike , who will be competing in her 6th Olympic. and sprint-star like Blessing Okagbare her second.
And then the team from Nigeria finally departed for RIO with the President of the Nigerian Wrestling federation declaring that the Nation should not expect any medals from the wrestling team, since members of the team were not allowed to travel with their training partners .
They left without their allowances. But of course we know Nigeria is a unique country: Soon after the kick-off of the games on the 5th of August 2016, a high powered delegation, from either the Sports Ministry or the legislature would hit Rio taking along every possible appendage (wives, girlfriends, children) , ostensibly to deliver athletes' allowances and support the team, a jamboree that's likely to cost the Nation far more than the meagre stipends the athletes are entitled to. Interestingly the team left with NO CONDOMS. Nigeria's Olympic soccer Team (rumors had it ) however, could not leave their base in the US for RIO on Tuesday 2nd August 2016 because their flight fares had not been paid.
Team India seems to be the most feted delegation on its way to RIO 216 this year. With high powered support from Indians across the spectrum, and equally high powered government support, Team India left for Rio on a high. Luckily for Team India, the government increased the daily allowance for each Team member from $50 to $ 100, the highest ever for Team India.
Top of the cherry tree, enjoying the ripest , juiciest pickings is TEAM USA. No doubt athletes have to go through grueling training and competitions just to be part of team USA but with a $10,000 pocket money awaiting each athlete who makes the track and field category, and $ 5,000 for each gymnast who makes the team, many athletes are more than willing to risk breaking a limb or a vertebra just to make the team.
But team USA has even bigger incentives to go for medals. Gold medalists look forward to a pretty pot of $25,000 to take home, Silver medalists - $15,000 and Bronze medalists $ 10,000. This is a bigger incentive to perform than the Presidential handshake which athletes from some other countries are likely to get for all their efforts . The biggest incentive however is the prospect of millions of dollars in endorsement deals from top brands in America.
Azerbaijan: This Asian country which was annexed by the USSR for long periods of its existence doles out about the highest bonus to any of its athletes who wins a medal at the Olympics. The government awards a crazy $510,000 dollars to gold medalists, $225,000 for silver medalists and $ 130,000 for bronze medalists.
Team China may likely be the best prepared team from Asia having hit their Esporte Club Pinheiros, Sao Paulo Training camp since 22nd July, 2016 with a team strength of 411 consisting of athletes, coaches, supporting staff and officials.
The Chinese delegation will present athletes in 16 sporting areas. But getting to Rio was not free of internal frights either:
Although the prospect of million dollar endorsement is not as high for Team China as it is for Team USA, nonetheless Gold medalists from Team China also have a handsome $31,400 to pocket for their troubles.
Team Russia has had perhaps the biggest headaches preceding RIO 2016 with the ban of its athletes based on doping allegations. The saga went from threat of a total ban, a partial ban and finally settled on a selective ban. Finally IOC decided that only athletes who could prove they were clean would be allowed to participate.
Today Team Russia's 387 strong contingent has been pruned down to 270 in the biggest doping related sanctions in the history of the Olympics. The team is still awaiting final clearance to head for Rio. Inspite of this however, Russian gold medal prospects still look forward to a heart-gladdening $130,000 pocket comfort for all their headaches.
The Real Thrill of Rio 2016 may however be the record breaking 450,000 condoms that will make their appearance in Rio [350,000 male and 100,000 female condoms] each seeking to offer pleasure and protection to at least one of the 10,500 'sex-machines' ( approximately 42 condoms per athlete), scheduled to grace the 33 venues in Rio with their performance. Interestingly, these condoms (produced in Australia by Starpharm Holdings and Ansell Ltd.) have been designed to offer protection against the dreaded ZIKA virus.
With 17 days of intense sports activity and competition at high levels, and a background thought in each athletes mind that he/she's got at least 2 condoms to utilize per day in the carnival capital of the world, with an amazing number of cooooool Samba dames and 'swaggalicious' Samba boys to hook up with, RIO 2016 is bound to produce excitement , histories and records breakers beyond the very limited field of vision of on-field spectators and big screen audiences .

Valentine of the day: Sealed with a kiss (or 300)
I saved my favourite till last! The message on this handmade Valentine reads:
'Think not lightly Sir of this / For on every spot's A Kiss…'
I really hope when Mr Newman opened it in 1834, he liked it too. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
Victoria Osborne, Curator (Fine Art)
Valentine of the day: Love and lace
Mid-19th-century Valentines were often very elaborate. This typical card from c.1845-50 features a printed landscape, layers of cut and embossed paper lace with gilt decoration, fabric flowers and a collaged Cupid.
The message reads:
'My fondest love,
These words express.
Dear Valentine,
The sender, guess.'
This card sent in 1865 combines lace decoration with a moral message. The pair of compasses refers to a popular saying about moderation and restraint:
'Keep within compass and you shall be sure,
To avoid many troubles which others endure.'
The 'Grand Secret' between the points of the compasses is revealed when the lace flap is lifted: 'I Love You'.
Valentine of the day: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Two comic Valentines, probably from the 1870s…
Valentine of the day: 'Please Sir!'
The anonymity of a Valentine's card allows the sender to voice feelings that cannot be expressed openly. Perhaps partly for this reason, Valentines have traditionally been much more often sent by women than by men.
For women in the mid-19th century, whose interaction with men was limited by strict codes of correct behaviour, sending a Valentine must sometimes have felt especially liberating.
This cheeky card with its paper doll and handwritten message was made in about 1860.
Valentine of the day: Romantic Riddles
These three cards each pose a riddle on the theme of love. The answers are revealed by lifting the paper flaps.
Scroll down for the punchlines….
Because he should ring the belle.
Because if there is but a spark you can easily create a flame.
Because you should name the day (the happy day).
That last one seems a bit laboured, but perhaps a marriage-minded sender would want to make extra sure there was no room for misunderstanding!
Valentine of the day: Glove love
19th-century Valentine's cards often carried a concealed message. Tucked between the paper gloves on this card made in about 1840 is a silk ribbon with a printed inscription:
You crave an emblem of my love,
I send you dear, a pair of GLOVES
For should you chance the pair to sever,
The other leaves the world for ever.
A pair of gloves had been a traditional Valentine's gift from men to women as early as the 16th century. Their association with romantic love continued with the giving of miniature paper gloves like these.
Valentine of the day: 'Adieu dear youth…'
This week on the blog expect love, insults, moralising and puns as we post a Valentine a day in the run-up to February 14th.
The forerunner of the mass-produced Valentine's card was a simple sentimental poem or message, written and sealed by hand. The Valentine's love note below was posted to a young Mr Bowler in London, probably in the 1820s. The verses claim to be by 'Mrs S— the celebrated Poetess' – or is that a clue to the identity of the sender?
Scroll down for a transcript.
Valentine's Day
Adieu dear youth this hapless day
Tears me from all my joys away
Remov'd from Love and Thee,
Who knows a cause of all my pain
If thou will hear me once complain
Or lose one thought on Me.
Yet to regain my lost repose
My pensive mind shall soothe its woes
For ever fix'd on Thee;
On thee shall every thought attend,
But will thou ever condescend
To fix one thought on Me?
We assume Mr Bowler kept his Valentine, but we'll never know if he returned the rather intense feelings of his admirer….
How to soften a hard heart
To take away the nasty taste of the Vinegar Valentines, here's something a little sweeter!
Advice from a greetings card, probably 1870s.
Vinegar Valentines: for the one you love to hate?
The collection of greetings cards at BMAG includes a sample album marked 'Comic Vals', owned by a Victorian cardseller and probably dating from the 1870s. Most of the samples in the album are 'Vinegar Valentines': insulting cards mocking the recipient's appearance, profession or behaviour and predicting a loveless future.
Whether received from an embittered ex or a cruel practical joker, it would have been a nasty surprise to open any of these on Valentine's day.
This card lulls the unfortunate recipient into a false sense of security with a pretty and sentimental cover, but when it's opened there's a sting in the tail:
Find out more about the history of Vinegar Valentines in this article from Brighton Royal Pavilion & Museums.

A normal day can vary from running staff development sessions on technologies such as lecture recording, supporting media-based student projects, producing and filming high end video productions, to creating professional photographic imagery for teaching and learning.
Using my 14 years' experience as a photographer and video producer my aim is to make creative media content for academics at the University of Derby to use in their teaching and learning.

My main role is to produce high quality learning and promotional video materials. I collaborate with departments and colleges across the university to produce a wide range of videos, ranging from interviews to drama and documentaries. I work with people to script ideas, oversee and direct film shoots and edit the footage to produce a final product to share with students and/or a wider audience.
Throughout my 12 years' experience, both as a freelance producer and in Higher Education, I've fine-tuned my ability to ensure the desired message and purpose of a video I'm working on is achieved.
Editing is my favourite part of the production process, but I also really enjoy motion graphics and animation as part of this and I've recently completed a Masters in Education to deepen my understanding of educational theory and practice, to apply to any teaching and learning material I produce.
Jon Walmsley
I lead the Media Production and Support team, which offer a range of media services including the creation of high quality learning and promotional materials. We also run staff development sessions and offer one-to-one training and support for academic staff, to enhance the effective use of media in teaching.
I have been a film maker for over 14 years and prior to joining the University, worked in a wide variety of creative and production roles within broadcast television and commercial video production. My particular interests include how to strategically adopt video technologies into teaching and learning activities, and how media-based resources can assist the development of essential skills for the 21st Century workplace.

How to darken a room for your Bonfoton Camera Obscura Room Lens.
On this page, I have gathered some easy DIY techniques and ideas for darkening your room, that will help you to get the most of the Bonfoton Camera Obscura Room Lens and see the amazing effect it does!
Note that the Bonfoton Camera Obscura Room Lens will come with a Bonfoton User Manual and a Cutting Aid Logo Sticker so you will get a perfect size hole to any darkening material you end up using. Soft fabric curtains are not well suitable for the Bonfoton attachment system.
So let's get down to business. There are many ways to darken a room. Some do-it-yourself and some off-the-shelf options, but let's start with the one I have used myself and found out to be an easy, no hassle technique.
1. Light blackout roller blind
This is a good, cheap and widely available off-the-shelf product for darkening your room. I use this method myself at home. Basically, all you need is a screwdriver so you can attach the roller blind over your window. The fabric used in roller blinds is usually quite thick so it will hold the Bonfoton lens in place well. You can use masking tape to enhance the darkening effect.
Note that the Bonfoton attachment system is a snap on snap off type so that it will let any blackout roller blind to be rolled back up normally after attaching the lens attachment plates on it.
2. Tin foil / Aluminum foil (The best & quick method for testing different positions for the Bonfoton Lens)
The common tin foil has become my best friend and my go-to method when I'm on a photoshoot and need to quickly darken a window or ten of them...
So, what you need is only a water spray bottle and a roll of tin foil. Lightly spray the window screen with water and spread the tin foil roll over it. You can roll the tin foil over the frames of the window so no light will come through from the sides. The tin foil will stay stuck nicely for several days. But if you leave it on for too long the drying water may leave stains on the window screen that are hard to clean. This can happen even in a day or two on the sunny side of the house. Also in direct sunlight, the foil can get quite hot. So this method is recommended only for quick photoshoots and testing for the best position for the Bonfoton lens.
Use the Bonfoton logo sticker to make a right size hole to the tin foil and just use tape to hold the Bonfoton Lens in place.
A rule of thumb for the lens positioning: The higher the Bonfoton Lens is on the window the more sky you will get on your walls and the lower the Lens is, the more ground will be seen.
3. Black Poster Board Sheets
This material is easy to cut and quite easy to find on Craft / Art supplies stores. Cut the sheets so that they will just fit inside the window frame and attach with masking tape or Gaffers tape. The Bonfoton User Manual for installing the lens comes with the Bonfoton Camera Obscura Room Lens package.
A note about tapes. When darkening a room, say for a quick Camera Obscura photoshoot. The one thing you'll most likely need is a tape roll. Most tapes will work but the tape I would suggest is black Gaffers Tape. This is the stuff Hollywood film industry folks use, it blocks 100% of the light, it's tough but won't leave sticky glue on the walls after removing it like Duct tape might do, when it's been attached for a longer time.
You can also use painter's tape or masking tape. I've used painters tape quite often, it's cheap, you can find it anywhere and it's gentle on the walls. Just make sure to get the wide stuff.
4. The good old cardboard / corrugated cardboard
The benefit of this material for blacking out a room is that everybody has some laying around. Of course, a bigger sheet of cardboard will be easier to use to block out the light. Something that you might have gotten from IKEA etc. bookshelf box. To install the cardboard cut it just to fit inside the window frame, or cut it larger than your window. Use tape, wide masking tape works well, to keep it in place.
5. Black trash / Garbage bags
They don't make for the most beautiful drapery, but they sure can darken your room effectively. When using trash bags remember to use at least two layers of bags, that's four layers of plastic since the material will let some sunlight through. For the Bonfoton lens, the trash bags can be too light so the Bonfoton lens can be attached straight to the window screen. Just be careful not to break the window by pressing too hard! I have used this trash bag -method when making a couple of darkrooms in my previous apartments for making silver gelatin photography prints.
6. Chalkboard paint
For a more permanent solution, you can use chalkboard paint. This will most likely to be an irreversible solution and the black paint can retain heat in the sun and this can weaken the window. So don't use this method if in doubt.
First, clean the glass with rubbing alcohol or glass cleaner and wipe it dry. Next, take the Bonfoton logo sticker and use it to draw a circle to the window screen to your desired place with a permanent marker. Attach the Bonfoton lens over the center of the circle. Press firmly but be careful not to broke the window by pressing too hard! Remove the Bonfoton lens and now the attachment plates are stuck to the window.
Next, you need to prime the surface of the window so the chalkboard paint will stick. There are at least two methods that you can use to complete this step.
Block off the areas, like window frames, you do not want to paint using painter's tape or masking tape. Now you can apply the chalkboard paint to the primed surface. You need to test how many coatings is needed to fully block out the sun. Most likely at least two or three layers of paint is needed.
There are two kinds of chalkboard paint to choose from. The first type comes in a spray can and the second type is applied with a paint brush. If you used the steel wool method make sure you use chalkboard paint that specifically states that it will adhere to glass. Paint applied with a paintbrush is more likely to have slightly textured surface after drying and the spray can paint will give a more smooth coating.
Allow to fully dry. Use a carpet knife to slice along the edge of the tape and the window so you will not tear the paint off the window.

Mâche is a European salad green that grows in small, rosette-shaped bunches. It has dark green leaves on short stems. It has a distinct sweet taste making it known as the "mayonnaise of salad greens". It is wonderful dressed simply with toasted walnut oil and a dash of good sherry vinegar.

Why You Should Download a Reliable Fake Doctor's Note
Sometimes you just can't get to work or school, but missing a day without a legitimate excuse is not an option. This is where a fake doctor's note can come into play. These fake excuses can help you miss work or class without worrying about the consequences. A pretty nice idea eh?
I've been there myself, so I know that there are times when a fake doctors note / excuse can be a true lifesaver. For example, in one of the following situations:
- You are sick but can't get to your real doctor's place on time.
Sometimes, a sudden sickness strikes unexpectedly and you just don't have the time or opportunity to get to your actual doctor's office on time to get a permission slip you'll be able to use at work or in school. It's best to always have a few fake doctor excuse notes on hand for situations like this.
- You have a personal emergency.
Not all employers are understanding enough to accept your absence over a personal emergency. In addition, you may not wish to discuss this personal matter in detail, which would be necessary when asking for a permission from your boss. A fake doctor's note or hospital excuse note will solve all your problems in this case as it will provide you with the best legitimate excuse to miss a day of work or classes. You will be able to attend to your personal business with no one the wiser at your office.
- You need a timeout.
Life can get so stressful these days that at some point you just feel that everything is getting to be too much. When this moment comes, you may just need to take a break from everything, relax for a few days, and put yourself back together in the comfort of your own home. If taking some vacation time is not an option, a fake doctor's note will provide you with an excuse you can present to your employer or school. Working while you are stressed out is highly detrimental to your health, so creating a fake doctor note actually is the best and healthy thing to do in this case. You can also freeze fat with isavera. They also have a leg system and an arm system.
- You want to go on a romantic adventure.
Do you wish to take your loved one on a romantic getaway for a few days? Or are you the one invited to such an adventure by your other half? Your employer will hardly think this is a good enough excuse to miss a few days of work, so you'll need to look for alternative ways to get away. This is where a fake note from a doctor will help you. Remember, no matter what anyone says, spending some precious time with your loved ones is more important than missing a couple of days at work.

UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and former dual-division titleholder Conor McGregor will go before the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Dec. 10 to answer for their respective roles in the UFC 229 post-fight melee that broke out on Oct. 6 in Las Vegas.
The incident occurred when Nurmagomedov boiled over with McGregor cornerman Dillon Danis yelling at him after he submitted McGregor. Nurmagomedov lost his cool and vaulted over the cage and onto the arena floor to confront Danis. Now, he'll have to go before the NSAC, which has filed a formal complaint against him and withheld $1 million of his $2 million fight purse.

The UK's first book award celebrating radical, leftwing writing has been launched, with a tweet-by-tweet history of the Egyptian revolution and Owen Jones's exploration of the demonisation of the working classes,Chavs, competing for the inaugural prize.
The Bread and Roses award for radical publishing – named after the slogan chanted in 1912 by striking textile workers in Massachusetts, who struck for "bread, and for roses too" – is looking for books "informed by socialist, anarchist, environmental, feminist and anti-racist concerns", which also "inspire, support or report on political and/or personal change". Run by the newly-formed Alliance of Radical Booksellers, the prize has no corporate sponsorship and believes it is the UK's only literary award with explicitly leftwing entry criteria.
"Radical publishing is going through a renaissance, making the establishment of the Bread and Roses award timely," said trustee Ross Bradshaw from Five Leaves Publishing, a literary and radical press. His fellow trustee Nik Gorecki, of Housmans Bookshop, added that "the central involvement of radical bookshops in the establishment and running of the Bread and Roses award also really sets it apart from other book prizes".
Judges Michael Rosen, the poet and children's author, lecturer and feminist writer Nina Power and Writing on the Wall festival director Madeline Heneghan have chosen a shortlist of seven titles to compete for the inaugural Bread and Roses prize, which is worth £1,000.
Tim Gee's Counterpower looks at struggles from the suffrage movement to the Arab spring, David Graeber's Debt: The First 5,000 Years analyses the history of debt and Tweets from Tahrir, edited by Nadia Idle and Alex Nunns, collects the story of the Egyptian uprising through the tweets of those who rose. Jones's Chavs, Andy Merrifield's Magical Marxism, Laurie Penny's collection of her writing Penny Red and Nicholas Shaxson's exposé of tax havens Treasure Islands complete the lineup.

While my "What Tracey Did Next" Exhibition is running (see previous post for details), I am going to feature the odd painting with an explanation.
Just at the time that I was deciding which one to feature first, a lovely lady came in and was enthusiastically talking about all the colours, in my work, and choosing a selection of postcards. She was matching them to the friends that she wanted to send them to – ones that she thought would appreciate a particular image.
As a whole we send less postcards, nowadays, and I tend to think of mine being pinned to a noticeboard or ending up in a pile on a desk or in a drawer, rather than being written upon, stamped and posted. It was nice to think of them going on a journey and passing through different hands and eyes.
It is always lovely to receive something personal, rather than bills n bumf, through one's letterbox.
In this exhibition, I have one painting that is dramatically different to the rest and I have never exhibited it before.
It is called: "THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN MIDDLE EAST AND WEST".
Painted, when I was at Art School, in 1999, it is acrylic on coarse linen canvas and approximately 1 metre x 1 metre.
This painting represents a tug of war between two cultures. opposing but of equal strength and determination.
My visitor was spot on with her assessment of this piece and liked it so much that she asked for some postcards of it. I couldn't refuse as I appreciated her interest (I'm just hoping that my printer is up to the job as my Laser one has gone to the same tech graveyard as everything else decently-techie that I seem to own!)
So, why did I choose to transition this piece from the private to the public?
Basically, I am fed up of the racial hatred that we seem to be surrounded by at the moment and the tensions caused by one movement or individuals and the way that this is tainting whole races. People are people, wherever they live and whatever they look like.
"THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN MIDDLE EAST AND WEST" shows two different cultures. One solid and closed and one transparent, open and all-encompassing. Neither will win this struggle as both are strong – in different ways. The best way is for them to work together, respecting the difference of each other. The good in both against the bad in both.
My visitor was a Muslim lady and , as we were standing in front of this painting, discussing it, I saw us both reflected in this image. Two outwardly different people but, inwardly, the same, with a commonality of interest and ideas.
Some connections and moments can be quite powerful and they don't need to be loud, brash and 'shouty' to be so.
