In the Part 1 of this tutorial, you learnt how to create a faded effect on the moon image by masking. In the previous part, you also learnt how to successfully place your Solidified_lava_2 file on top.
In this part, you will learn how to change the color of the solidified rocks so that it effectively merges with the existing background. You will also learn how to create the mist effect of moon on the rocks. In addition, you will also learn how to place the Skeltons’ stock image and how to mask it with the existing layers to get a homogeneous look for the overall background.
Start by making some adjustments on the Solidified_lava_2. You can achieve this by adding an adjustment layer with Brightness/Contrast.
Go to the top menu and choose Layer > New Adjustment layer > Brightness/Contrast. Keep the brightness at -75 and contrast at 50. Now, make it a clipping mask by clicking Layer > Create Clipping Mask.
Alternatively, you may use the shortcut (Alt+Ctrl+G) to achieve this.
Repeat this step with brightness adjustments to -43 and contrast to -50.
Once again, similar masking repetition is required, this time the brightness needs to be at -32 with no change in the contrast.
Now add a new layer (Layer 3). And make it a clipping mask.
Layer > Create Clipping Mask and create moonlight effects through soft round brush. Use shape dynamics and smoothing brush tip shape. Choose the hex code color #f0e8ae and draw more lights to show the moonlight effect. Make use of pressure opacity brush and reduce the layer opacity to 70%.
Again add a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer.
Go to Layer > New Adjustment layer > Brightness/Contrast. Then, create a clipping mask. Layer > Create Clipping Mask.
Make use of pressure opacity brush and reduce the layer’s opacity to 50%. Now create masking. Next, make use of big soft round brush (800px) and erase some spots to highlight some areas of the rocks to create the effect of moonlight falling on the rocks.
Now, we have effectively masked ‘Solidified_lava_2’ image file.
Create a new layer (Layer2). Set black and white color scheme in your color picker set.
Click on mask shortcut and create masking on Layer2. Click on white canvas next to the layer thumbnail and select big soft round brush at around 800px. Now, erase the top half layer to create the mist effect of moonlight.
Change the blending mode of Layer2 to Screen. Now decrease its opacity to 51%.
Add Brightness/Contrast and mask on Layer2.
Now, create color balancing effect and mask it on Layer 2 so that the layer merges with the existing background.
Place skeleton pile stock to your image and click next to layer thumbnail. Make use of hard round, small size brush and mask those parts of the skulls that do not fit on the rocks.
Add a new blank layer (shadow#1 skull) below this layer. Again, add a new blank layer (shadow#2 skull) below shadows.
Alternatively, use shortcut (Shift + ctrl + N) to do this.
Pick big soft round brush and set its opacity to 100%. Now use it to draw more shadow effect in bigger size. Ensure that you effectively draw with black color shadows strictly below the skulls to create the shadow effect.
In this part of the tutorial, you learnt how to change the color of the solidified rocks so that it effectively merges with your existing background. You also learnt how to create the mist effect of moon on the rocks. In addition, you learnt the tricks to insert Skelton pile stock image and learnt how to mask it with the existing layers.
In the next part of this tutorial, you will learn how to create a brightness/contrast effect layer & mask it to the Skeleton pile layer with hue saturation effect. You will learn how to make Skelton pile layer color similar to its surrounding so that the skull appears to be effectively placed on solidified lava layer. During the course of the tutorial, we will also explain how to make adjustments for shadow, brightness, contrast, and hue.

The if statement is a statement that depending on the value of one or more corresponding conditions, selects for execution one or none of the enclosed sequences of statements,.
The if statement controls conditional execution of other sequential statements. It contains at least one Boolean condition (specified after the if keyword). The remaining conditions are specified with the elsif clause. The else clause is treated as elsif true then. Conditions are evaluated one by one until any of them turns to be true or there are no more conditions to be checked for. When a condition is true then the sequence of statements specified after the then clause is executed. If no condition is met then the control is passed to the next statement after the if statement.
The if statement can be used in a simplified form, often called if-then statement, where neither elsif nor else clause is supported (example 1).
In case when meeting a condition should cause some statements to be executed, but when it is not met some other actions should be performed, the else clause is used (example 2).
The elsif clause is used when different nested conditions have to be checked (example 3). This can be used for prioritizing conditions and signals.
The if statements can be nested (example 4).
The assignment will be realized only when the condition Status_Signal = hold is true. Otherwise, the statement that follows the end if I1 will be executed.
When the variables x and y are both equal to '1', then the function returns the value '1'. Otherwise, '0' is returned.
In this example, the bit number 1 of the Code_of_Operation has a higher priority than bit number 0. When the bit number 1 has a '1'value, then the two operands are added. If not (i.e. it is '0'), then the bit number 0 is checked. If it is '1', then the two operands are subtracted. Otherwise, when both bits of the Code_of_Operation are '0', the F signal is assigned all zeros.
Nesting of if statements is legal, but you should be careful not to confuse the statement levels.
One of the most typical errors with the if statements is to skip the space between end and if, at the end of the statement, and writing it as endif.
If is a sequential statement that cannot be used in the concurrent statements section of an architecture. If assigning a new value to a signal must be influenced by a specific condition, then a conditional signal assignment should be used (which in turn cannot be used inside processes and procedures).

In Place is a collective of mixed-media artists from Dublin, Ireland who are reframing the way disused urban space is viewed. In Place intends to interrupt the dominant narrative of disused space as being characterised as culturally barren areas of the city. Through the creation of site specific work, In Place wishes to invite the public to view disused urban sites within a context of their potential cultural significance.
The identity for In Place was inspired by the process of the artists involved. Making freehand marks with drawing tools was the premise behind the lines visible throughout designs. These lines connect each element of the design, which is situated on a strict grid.

Question: There was a Buddhist son, whose old Father, a non-Buddhist but traditional Chinese man passed away. His non-Buddhist wake of another religion was held at his second son’s place. The Mother wanted to play Amituofo’s name using a Nianfoji (Buddha name chanting device) to urge Nianfo (i.e. mindfulness of Amituofo). Is this appropriate?
Answer: This is good, but even better is if someone dear (e.g. the family member/s) do Nianfo near the deceased’s body sincerely, using these guidelines: https://purelanders.com/2016/07/19/what-should-be-chanted-during-after-a-funeral (What Should Be Chanted During & After A Funeral).
Q: However, as the wake was at the non-Buddhist son’s home, the family there might not like the chanting, and since the Father seemed to be not affiliated with Buddhism when alive, the Buddhist son advised his Mother against chanting. What do you think?
A: Such advice is unskilful due to these reasons – The Father was not of the second son’s faith anyway, which makes adhering to a Buddhism-free funeral not compulsory. If there was forced bedside conversion, it does not count as actual embracing of any faith. The Mother, being the spouse and only parent of both sons, should have the final say on what should be done. Traditional Chinese old folks, including the Father, are usually okay with Amituofo’s name being played, as Amituofo is very much a part of Chinese culture.
It was probably the second son who insisted on a non-Buddhist funeral of his personal preference, without respecting his Father’s traditional beliefs which by default slants towards above. Nianfo is especially crucial to help the Father have the best rebirth, away from all suffering – which is what everyone in the family wishes, including the sons, Mother and Father himself. There seems to be no sign of conflict, other than the Buddhist son’s self-imagined possibility? The Mother’s decision should be respected after reflecting upon these 6 points. In the first place, it would had been better for the Mother and first son to be more assertive, to take charge of the whole funeral, if they really wanted to more efficiently help the Father.
Q: Is it not better to refrain from Nianfo to ensure harmony during the wake for peaceful rebirth if the deceased is not yet reborn, as it might cause aversion to the Father if he is not receptive?
A: We must remember that a funeral is for welfare of the deceased, not so much the survivors. There is actually lower chance of a peaceful rebirth if the funeral’s style is held against the more accustomed traditional beliefs of the deceased. Nianfo is already minimal but crucial practice. Thus, the Mother (being the head of the family) and first son could turn on the Nianfoji and chant near the Father’s body sincerely. If someone objects, there can be discussion based on the 6 points above. Only if proven that Nianfo is not welcomed, should there be silent chanting near the deceased.
Even if the deceased was a non-Buddhist, there should still be Nianfo (silently at least) to encourage the person to Nianfo to reach Pure Land, instead of clinging to the possibly wrong assumption that the deceased might have adequate personal practice and external assistance to have a good rebirth. There are some who become wandering spirits because they expected the deities they believe in to bring them to a better place, when due to lack of personal good karma and receiving power (or non-existence) of those believed in, this might not happen at all. As such, Nianfo is always a must. It should even be done silently and privately at non-Buddhist funerals to guide the deceased, so as to not show disrespect to the hosts. If not, visiting such wakes does not benefit the deceased directly at all.
Q: There are still many Chinese old folks without proper Dharma education, who shun the subject of death, having the misconception that Amituofo is linked only to death, instead of also being a source of blessings in this and the next life. Thus, they might not like to hear Amituofo’s name when alive. If such habitual thoughts remain after death, will they cause the deceased to continue shunning Nianfo and even create negative karma due to aversion?
A: Such old folks should know by then that they are already deceased. Even if not, it is definitely time for them the realise so. As such, this is when it is appropriate to sincerely re-introduce them to Amituofo. When Nianfo is practised sincerely by the survivors, the deceased, if around, will sense the blissful protective blessings of Amituofo. They will be less likely to have aversion. This is why personal ‘live’ sincere chanting by family members is important – to more effectively touch and transform the minds of the deceased, to urge them to also sincerely Nianfo.
As we cannot read the minds, there is no point assuming the deceased might be unhappy. What matters is to do our best to guide the deceased during their final and most dangerous moments before rebirth. Dedicating merits from Nianfo to the deceased once in a while can help the deceased to realise the goodness of Amituofo and Nianfo too.
Q: If during the last moments alive, there was no sign of acceptance of Amituofo, while there is also no good karma to have anyone around to encourage Nianfo well, what should be done?
Once we do as advised, we are already the expression of the dying or deceased person’s good karma to be able to know about Amituofo. Whether the person is receptive or not is up to him or her. We just do our part best we can, as sincerely as we can. There can be gentle persuasion to Nianfo but there should never be forced bedside conversion using threats or force, that cause confusion, grief, fear or aversion. Such negative thoughts can lead to negative rebirth. If there is still strong resistance to Nianfo when dying despite persuasion, there should be silent chanting near the person, with dedication of merits to him and her, to help transform the mind to be more receptive. This is illustrated in this case: https://purelanders.com/2011/12/15/my-grandfathers-deathbed-experience (Grandfather’s Deathbed Experience).
Q: Given another chance, should the Father’s funeral be Buddhist-styled and vegetarian despite the deceased not being Buddhist?
A: The funeral should be Buddhist and vegan (vegetarian plus free from any animal by-products, five pungent roots and alcohol), as the deceased needs Buddhist practices done on his behalf the most then. As an analogy, even if an initially wilful child does not like medicine assumed to be bitter when it is really sweet, a caring parent will offer it anyway. Only if there is unresolvable family objection should it be otherwise. Even if the funeral is decided to be non-Buddhist, there be at least regular silent Nianfo near the deceased. Any opposite food offerings on the shrine and for visitors’ meals who come for the wake creates some negative karma (from demanding for killing) in the name of the deceased, which can jeopardise a good rebirth. This warning is stated clearly in Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s Sutra (Dizangjing).
Q: How can we systematically encourage the dying or deceased to Nianfo, for reaching Pure Land?
Again, the guidelines at https://purelanders.com/2016/07/19/what-should-be-chanted-during-after-a-funeral (What Should Be Chanted During & After A Funeral) should be followed. After each session of Nianfo, chant sharing of merits. Repeat the process as much as possible especially during the 8 hours after physical passing, and for 49 days which follow, which is the duration in which the person usually takes rebirth.
Q: If there are already auspicious sign(s) of a good rebirth, or having departed for Pure Land, is there still the need for continual Nianfo and charitable acts in name of the deceased for 49 days or beyond?
A: If the auspicious sign(s) are unmistakably genuine, there is no more need to do more. However, if uncertain, it is best to continue. It is also good as a personal practice to carry on guiding and dedicating merits with all beings in mind, which would also include the deceased in mind. A way to know if the deceased already has a good rebirth is to pray to the Buddha sincerely for a clear(er) sign. After making this request, Nianfo sincerely until signs appear. This method of practice is also stated in Dizangjing.

Delilah is an electric guitar that was built by my father and me. As part of our effort to promote healing through music, we are attempting to set a world record for the most people to play one specific instrument, Delilah. DelilahSong is simply a culmination of all who participate, every chord; every note is to remind us we together can make a difference in our world for the better. We need anyone and everyone who is willing, to play Delilah in an effort to create and sustain a literal healing instrument. We will share the positive vibes and healing nature of music through Delilah to individuals in need of hope and healing by bringing Delilah to them, specifically children as well as adults with terminal illnesses. This is a community based project which we hope will have a positive impact on all who participate as well as our communities and the world which we all share. Thank you in advance for any participation and support for our project to promote healing through music.

Me... and all around me...: Last Day!
Yes, it was our last day today and bloody hell, I had 2 meetings to attend before the end of this... Don't ask me why. I haven't a darn clue!
At 4pm, Greg gathered all of us and asked us to return for work on Monday and that Venetian and inProjects have mutually agreed to a one-month extension of the Retail Coordination Team (this name will become history pretty soon, must mention a few more times la! hahaha!) Services. Ha! I asked Greg about a formal confirmation of this instruction, nope, inProjects is working on it but we won't get it today. I was pissed off really. Greg promised a letter from inProjects HK latest by Monday and that our last payment (with the compensation & calculation of holidays taken out) will be issued the same day... Great.

Being a mentor and an educator is a privilege. I believe that if you have knowledge then you should pass it on to those who do not. We as coaches have the opportunity to guide and inspire young minds so that they can reach their full potential and can be positively impacted not only on the field, but in life. Using positive reinforcement and creating a fun environment where children can learn at their own pace is essential. We have the responsibility to stress important values such as discipline, respect, team unity and sportsmanship. My ultimate goal is for all children I coach to develop the character and self-confidence they need to be successful. And to also learn life lessons from the sport which they can apply later in life.

Housing advocates are still fuming about Act 50, the state law passed in 2004 that criminalized sleeping in public parks.
Even with a repeal last year, its replacement, Act 212, still represents an inhumane approach that targets the poor and needy. Just spend a night with the homeless, when the rain comes, the temperature drops, and paradise doesn't feel like paradise anymore.
Last week, volunteers spent the night with 23 of Hawai'i's homeless at Ala Moana Park.
Police told them the ground rules: They'd all be ticketed if they were caught sleeping or camping.
Under the law, after one ticket or warning, a person can be banned from a park for a year and face a criminal trespass charge.
So these folks — many of them working poor with regular jobs but not regular homes — kept their eyes open and waited for the police shift change at 4 a.m. Then they caught an hour or two of sleep before going to work.
The spirit of Act 50 remains.
Rev. Bob Nakata of Kahalu'u United Methodist Church, one of the laws many opponents , said inconsistent enforcement is also a problem. "Many of the (police) officers don't like to do it. Why? Because they're human," Nakata said.
Last year, the law's transformation into Act 212 merely limited its scope from all public property to just recreational areas. It meant the area around the State Library was a safe haven, but not parks such as Ala Moana.
This year, two bills want to take all the sting that remains from Act 50. One bill, Senate Bill 2687, eliminates the criminal trespass charge, while SB 2928 reduces the one-year ban for those who violate the law.
That doesn't go far enough. Act 212 should be repealed.
With the housing market tighter than ever and an estimate of the state's homeless in excess of 5,000, the Legislature is considering a whole package of bills to address the growing crisis. Repealing this law that unfairly targets the homeless is a good place to start.

The user experience in a vr application that takes place in an outdoor virtual environment (OVE) depends on the level of presence during the interaction with the system. If an OVE is experienced indoors, the weather parameter can only be simulated. In contrast to that, the immersion of a system increases if an application is experienced outdoors, i. e. circumstances of the real environment are mapped in the virtual world. This paper describes the implementation of a demonstrator in order to investigate the influence of real weather on the perceived presence in an outdoor scenario against its influence on an indoor scenario with simulated weather. In order to achive greater mobility, an hmd with inside-out tracking is combined with a backpack pc. Thus, the user can experience a large OVE outdoors on foot.

is a high performance base- station.
Based on the advanced GPS survey technology and traditional survey technology, SOUTH Continuous Operational Reference System (CORS), which is a highly integrated surveying system, can provide advanced solutions for data acquisition, data processing, data distribution, and data management.
There are three kinds of CORS: single station CORS, multi-station CORS and CORS network.
EAGLE is the platform for the issue of CORS information, which provides network service to TCP/IP?GPRS?CDMA access. Meanwhile, it’s the “CPU” of the whole system, which carries out unified management and process to the data from the reference station. Not only can it offer different format of real-time differential data from RTK real-time positioning (such as RTCA?RTCM2.X?RTCM3.0?CMR.etc), but also can provide static data for static post-differential positioning.
EAGLE also can monitor data quality and the working status of the Rover automatically. Therefore, the user or the system administrator observes the operation state of the stations through the network, so that ensure the reliability of the system’s continuous running.
The SOUTH choke ring antenna can choke back the multi-path effect effectively, combining with the stable phase centre (<1MM) can restrain the radio frequency interference, so that reach the mm level precision.

From today until the end of Friday 16th December, Rosenfeld Media are offering a whopping 40% off all books and webinars if you use the discount code HUMBUG.
As an author at Rosenfeld, I get the perk of having a full complement of Rosenfeld Books, but I would happily buy all of them anyway. With the 40% off right now, I’d suggest going for the full library. That means you get the print + digital editions of all eight titles for $137 instead of $229 or a digital-only set for $71 instead of $119. Digital editions come in all formats and are completely DRM free.
(While you are there, check out Rosenfeld’s UX Zeitgeist to expand your library even more).
I believe you mean Friday, the 16th of December? (the title mentions Friday the 6th and the article mentions Friday the 12th).
Hi Sarah – yes, you’re quite right! Thanks for the catch.

Board members moved swiftly Wednesday to alleviate the concerns. Chairman Matthew Guerrero announced at the start of the meeting that public comment would now take place after staff reports are given, allowing the public to hear a report or presentation before making a comment.
In addition, the board at its next meeting will consider vacating its vote on Geaslen’s compensation and add a review of the general manager’s position to the agenda.
The board on Feb. 8 reported it had voted in closed session to increase Geaslen’s pay to $10,000 a month from $7,750. The salary increase would be retroactive to Jan. 1, but the board did not approve, as originally scheduled on Wednesday, paying $3,375 to cover the time period from Jan. 1 through Feb. 15.
However, the Brown Act stipulates that final action on compensation for employees, including independent contractors, must be taken in open session.
Several Oceano residents on Wednesday commended Geaslen for the work he’s done since he was appointed last June.
Others lashed out at Tacker and Los Osos resident Jeff Edwards, who frequently attends local meetings.

Guest post by Saqib Ayaz, co-founder, Workflow Management and Optimization.
Then you are seriously in need of healthcare IT solutions.
With advancements in technology, the healthcare sector is becoming digitized. The focus is on personalized and patient-centric technology, which can help in accelerating the process of treatment.
Healthcare IT solutions are meant for delivering the best service to the patients as well as to enhance operational efficiency. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was passed to provide $19 billion for the purpose of promoting the use of EHR technology in hospitals and medical practices. This proves the growing importance of healthcare IT solutions.
Healthcare IT includes the latest technologies like analytics, cloud computing, electronic health record systems, as well as data management systems. A growing number of institutions are successfully implementing healthcare IT solutions to improve their efficiency. It has been observed that manual entering of data and health records of patients are taking up too much time of the administrative staff as well as the medical personnel. This time can be utilized to provide better services to the patients.
EHR technology –– Electronic health records are part of the digital revolution that has taken over the healthcare sector. EHRs make the whole process of keeping patient records very streamlined and efficient. Data can be accessed both by the doctors as well as the patients because it is available on an electronic platform. The personal health records portal helps in management of patient information. Medical personnel can take better care of the patients when they have all the information on one platform. Time and effort spent on manually entering the data are saved so that doctors can provide better treatment to the patients and can serve the people who are in need of doctor care.
Better coordination of patient care — Healthcare IT solutions help in better coordination between physicians, specialists, nursing staff, lab technicians and other medical personnel. Vital information regarding the patient’s health is available to all of them. When the same data can be accessed by everyone, the problems of duplicate tests, contradictory medication prescription and miscommunication can be avoided. This saves time and minimizes the chances of errors leading to improvement in the overall quality of care that is provided to the patients.
Patient empowerment– When the patient has access to all his personal health records, he can play a more active role in managing his overall well being and determine the outcome of the treatment that he receives. All the lab results, medical history records as well as drug information are available on an online platform for the patient. The EHR system allows the patient to schedule appointments, communicate with the doctor as well as to refill prescriptions. Such healthcare IT solutions increase patient satisfaction.
Cost savings — Healthcare IT not only saves time, but expenses too. Easier documentation reduces the administrative cost and increases the number of patients that a medical facility can treat. This leads to an overall increase in revenue generation.
Improvement in outcomes of patient care — Healthcare IT solutions provide a central source of information to the medical personnel which can be accessed from any setting. Equipped with accurate data, doctors and specialists can deliver effective treatment to the patients. Information regarding allergies, medical history as well as the current medication taken by the patient is available through the EHR technology. This helps in making an accurate diagnosis and prognosis for the patient. The prospects of the patient getting treated become better Healthcare IT not only helps in individual case management, it also aids the medical personnel to provide better healthcare facilities to the whole population in general. This is possible through the data that is captured on the EHR system through which patient care trends and results can be accessed immediately. Medical precedents play a very important role in the future treatment of similar cases.
Reducing the length of stay for patients — The improvement in functional efficiency due to healthcare IT solutions leads to better care and treatment of the patients. This in turn causes the reduction in the duration of the patients stay at the medical facility. Such acceleration in the treatment process can help the doctors to serve more patients and improve the standard of Healthcare services.
Practice management — The healthcare IT solutions benefit both the patient as well as medical personnel. Specialists and physicians can use the tools for keeping electronics schedules. This helps in efficient management of patient appointments and staff duties. Invoice making is also made easy with the help of healthcare IT which leads to a reduction in the administrative burden significantly. The modern healthcare IT solutions are all compliant with HIPPA security standards so that medical facilities can use them without worrying about any legal backlash.
Even claims can be managed with the help of this technology. They can be tracked and reimbursed within the given time, which increases the prestige of the healthcare provider. Underperforming areas can be identified with the help of healthcare IT solutions. Monitoring of operational costs and accounts is possible with the help of workflow analysis. This helps in improving the performance of the medical facility in all the aspects. The year on year performance can also be accessed to find out areas for improvement.
Healthcare IT solutions are necessary for all medical facilities. The concept of connected health that has emerged in the recent years is here to stay because of the prospects of an increase in efficiency and quality that it offers. It is important to make use of healthcare IT and spread awareness regarding it so that maximum people can take advantage of it.
Smart technology can help in achieving healthcare goals faster and improve the healthcare scenario for the future.
Why continue with outdated modes of operation when you can take the help of healthcare IT solutions to save time, effort and money?

In a literature review published last Tuesday, researchers evaluated studies on the status and supplementation of fish oil, vitamin D, B vitamins, and vitamin E in patients in various stages of schizophrenia.
Although there have been medication advancements, the treatment of schizophrenia remains a challenge. There is an association with upregulated inflammation and oxidative stress in regards to schizophrenia. For this reason, supplementation of antioxidants, vitamins, and nutrients that have anti-inflammatory properties should be considered.
Cytokines play a critical role in inflammatory processes between the brain and the immune system. These act directly on the CNS and abnormal levels have been associated with schizophrenia.
In addition, we know that oxidative stress contributes to poor health outcomes. As one ages, the body’s cells are more susceptible to damage and death. In addition, the body produces less energy due to slower metabolism and as a result, cells are less able to produce antioxidants and soak up free radicals. Fish oil, vitamin D, B vitamins, and vitamin E may provide a therapeutic benefit, protecting against oxidation and abnormal levels of cytokines.
In this latest review, lower RBC omega-3 levels have been seen in those with schizophrenia. Fish oils were most effective in those with high risk and first episode psychosis patients compared to those in the chronic stage of the disease. EPA was more effective than DHA in reducing symptoms, with dosing between 2-3 grams per day.
Previous studies have demonstrated low vitamin D levels in these patients and a deficiency has been associated with more severe symptoms in first-episode schizophrenia. Research on therapeutic dosing of vitamin D is lacking; however, it is important to assess and supplement accordingly.
The status of folate and vitamin B12 has been shown to be low while plasma homocysteine levels are found to be high in schizophrenia. This is an important oxidative stress marker to indirectly assess methylation co-factors, and vitamin B6 and is commonly affected by genetic polymorphisms.
Studies on vitamin E suggest that it may enhance the effect of other nutrients (i.e., vitamin C, fish oil) in reducing schizophrenia symptoms.
Previous research also demonstrated low glutathione peroxidase levels in schizophrenia patients. Glutathione is an important antioxidant which has been found to be depleted with the natural aging process and in patients with neurodegenerative conditions.
N-acetyl-cysteine can definitely play a significant a role in helping to prevent the increased toxicity faced with aging and the body’s reduced ability to eliminate toxins. NAC has the ability to improve the metabolic resilience that is lost with the aging process as well as offering detoxification support.

Regardless of what happens on the field, one thing is for sure, Dolphin fans will have a good time. White Hot Miami knows how to rage, and this latest video is no exception. Apparently, a woman got so wasted, she decided to drop her pants and urinate in the men’s bathroom in a standing urinal!
It's okay for a female to do it but if it was a male he would have a lawsuit. What happened to equality hmm???
Who the heck is recording in the bathroom???
that's wifey material right there.
I thought she said "hopefully she don't start a train." ???
Damn she is thick, I’d smash fr ?
Looks like Angela went to the dolphins game .
I guarantee the dudes was confused asl??
Those are some cakes !!
Why is the guy recording in the restroom?
She must not care about life ??
All she has to do is say that she felt like a man at that point and time. Yay for progressive policies!

TheQueen Mary ship is a museum and also a hotel now is located in Long Beach, California known for its grand size along with its number of rumored hauntings on the ship. According to Chavdar Chanev of the online articles RMS Queen Mary the Queen Mary has a twin sister ship named Queen Elizabeth which both were commissioned by the Navy to oppose the ocean liners built in Germany and France during the World War II period. The ship which was built and sailing in the 1930s was known to be bigger than the great Titanic. In 1967 the ship was withdrawn from service with thousands of transatlantic voyages then turned to a maritime museum and hotel located in Long Beach, California. During the ships time under ceased service during World War II gave shelter too over 800,000 troops and was known for carrying the most people ever on a floating vessel which was 16,683 according to Kathy Weiser from Legends of America. Along history The Queen Mary’s hotel guests had bad life ending accidents while staying on board which made the ship their last living place on earth. This would create a great amount of reporting’s from residents on board the ship of unexpected interaction with spirits during their time spent there. Information from Planet Paranormal portrays that the rumors of ghost are true because this source provides evidence such as audio and visual evidence that has been captured on the ship by investigators. Background information from Kathy Weiser on some of the ghosts that are still haunting the vessel that have been encountered is a little girl named Jackie who drowned in one of the second level pools during the ships sailing days and to this day her spirit refuses to move on. Other sightings such as in the ship’s first-class lounge, a beautiful young woman in an elegant white evening gown has often been seen dancing alone in the shadows of the corner of the room. Also while researchers who would investigate the lower part of the ship heard horrid screams and sounds of colliding ships. Further research from Tom Crawford of Ghost Source and Portal to the Paranormal provides insight that Queen Mary collided with a smaller British ship, the H.M.S. Curacao, causing the ship and its three hundred passengers to sink. Some investigators would say that the screams and hauntings are being created by the three hundred men who were killed. Many more sightings, accidents, and activity has happened along Queen Mary voyages. This is why it’s one of the top tourist attractions known today.

Global Angels Ambassador and photojournalist, Hazel Thompson, has recently returned from Congo and Dafur on assignment with The New York Times. Her photos of women and girls in their teens, survivors of indiscriminate brutal rapes from soldiers, are featured front page, alongside Jeffrey Gettleman’s compassionate report on their plight.
Hazel is often on the front lines working through her photography to champion the causes of woman and children in some of the most dangerous places on earth. She captures the beauty and humanity of real people and brings their true stories to us, the public. We find our hearts are strengthened and energised to keep helping marginalised people fight their battle to be respected as human beings and to find freedom and safety for themselves and their children.

Doctor Who: Looking Back At WAR OF THE DALEKS | Warped Factor - Words in the Key of Geek.
Characterization is an overall plus of the novel, from its various Thal characters to Davros and even the Daleks. John Peel's take on both the eighth Doctor and Sam are the big disappointment of the novel's characters, as Peel, as he had with Timewyrm: Gensys, effectively makes them into bog standard Doctor and Companion, though given how little he had to work with I find myself more forgiving than I might me. Overall though, Peel grounds the story in decent characters (even if not in the best of situations).
The novel also has two other essential elements of any good Doctor Who story: pacing and morality. For the vast majority there is excellent pacing, though there are moments when the novel practically grinds to a halt (more on that later though). There is also the morality sitting at the heart of the novels first half involving the Thals and what they want Davros for. This is arguably the finest part of War of the Daleks and it's a shame that it's so overshadowed by the novels downsides.
And now for the biggest problems of the novel: continuity references and (especially) chapter eight. If ever Doctor Who fans could give an award for way too many continuity references in any single Doctor Who story I feel very certain that War of the Daleks would win hands down. Not only are there references to every single Dalek TV story, but to the 1960's comic stories as well, all to the point of annoyance. Peel also felt the need to put "interludes" between the various parts of the story which show humans, Draconians and Mechanoids fighting the Daleks. They serve no story purpose (that I could find anyway) and bring the novel to a halt. Yet these are mere appetizers (for lack of a better word) for the biggest problem of the novel: chapter eight aka THE RECON.
If there is any reason that this novel is as controversial as it was, is, and is likely to remain, it is chapter eight. Apparently at the insistence of Terry Nation, Peel decided that he would, in the space of a single chapter, bring the entire novel to a halt for the purpose of rewriting the entire history of the Daleks! From Destiny of the Daleks to Remembrance of the Daleks completely and totally. Unlike recons of the past, like Genesis of the Daleks or Lungbarrow, the recon at the heart of War of the Daleks feels unnecessary and it is jarring to read. Sadly, even in a charitable state of mind, it is next to impossible to look past the slow moving and unnecessary chapter that brings down the overall value of the novel.

By Ariane Le Chevallier June 14, 2017 Portland, Ore.
Currently emergency health care professionals must call the statewide POLST registry to access forms that were not filed within their health system. For example, OHSU clinicians could easily view the 15,000 POLST forms in the OHSU record system, but could not view forms completed elsewhere. Now OHSU can quickly find any form the patient has of the 160,000 forms in the statewide POLST registry with the click of a button, and without leaving the patient’s record.
Oregonians like 95-year-old Betty Lou Hutchens see this development as an important step in making sure their end-of-life care wishes are honored.
In 2015, OHSU partnered with San Francisco-based tech start-up Vynca to automate the process for filling out and finding POLST forms by creating an online system for submitting forms and digitizing paper forms.
Vynca, the technology vendor used by OHSU has also worked with Samaritan Health Services to digitize their POLST system and they will be launching statewide access to the registry that OHSU just launched in the coming months.
“Our mission is to ensure that every patient receives the care they want at the end of life, and this technology represents a considerable advancement toward achieving this goal,” says Ryan Van Wert, M.D., chief medical officer of Vynca and part-time clinical assistant professor of medicine in pulmonary and critical care medicine at Stanford University.
The POLST form was created in 1990 by a group of ethics leaders convened by OHSU in an effort to ensure the wishes of those with advanced illness or frailty are followed. POLST programs have been adopted or are in development in 47 states and they are strongly associated with reducing unwanted hospitalizations near the end of life.
A survey of patients showed that less than 10 percent of patients want to die in the hospital. Unfortunately, without POLST form, four times that many still do.
Paper versions of the POLST form (left) could be difficult to read. The electronic version (right) ensures that information is clearly visible and the records can be searched easily.

Notice the framed “Yes we Cat” poster on the side? We posted it here last year after seeing it on Muff Wiggler last year.
We featured Mister Kitty in this previous post.
In addition to the cat Chloe, there is a Clavia Nord G2, a Moog Voyager, a Snyderphonics Manta (see this NAMM report on the Snyderphonics Manta), L.L. Electronics Rozzbox, several offerings from Roland (System 100m, TB-303, TR-606, MKS-50/Juno), an SH-101 Novamod, and a Cwejman S1 mkII among many others. I also like the modernist studio furniture from Heckler Designs.
You can see a full-size image as well as labels for all the gear on the original flickr page.

Crowdsourcing is a nascent phenomenon that has grown exponentially since it was coined in 2006. It involves a large group of people solving a problem or completing a task for an individual or, more commonly, for an organisation. While the field of crowdsourcing has developed more quickly in information technology, it has great promise in health applications. This review examines uses of crowdsourcing in global health and health, broadly.
Semantic searches were run in Google Scholar for “crowdsourcing,” “crowdsourcing and health,” and similar terms. 996 articles were retrieved and all abstracts were scanned. 285 articles related to health. This review provides a narrative overview of the articles identified.
Eight areas where crowdsourcing has been used in health were identified: diagnosis; surveillance; nutrition; public health and environment; education; genetics; psychology; and, general medicine/other. Many studies reported crowdsourcing being used in a diagnostic or surveillance capacity. Crowdsourcing has been widely used across medical disciplines; however, it is important for future work using crowdsourcing to consider the appropriateness of the crowd being used to ensure the crowd is capable and has the adequate knowledge for the task at hand. Gamification of tasks seems to improve accuracy; other innovative methods of analysis including introducing thresholds and measures of trustworthiness should be considered.
Crowdsourcing is a new field that has been widely used and is innovative and adaptable. With the exception of surveillance applications that are used in emergency and disaster situations, most uses of crowdsourcing have only been used as pilots. These exceptions demonstrate that it is possible to take crowdsourcing applications to scale. Crowdsourcing has the potential to provide more accessible health care to more communities and individuals rapidly and to lower costs of care.
The term crowdsourcing was coined a decade ago in Howe’s 2006 Wired article and the field of crowdsourcing in academia and industry has since grown exponentially [1-3]. Despite recent interest in the field, the actual practice of crowdsourcing has been in use for hundreds of years [3-5]. Some of the early uses of crowdsourcing include Britain’s Longitude Act and Galton's report of an experiment where 787 people collectively and accurately guessed the weight of an ox [3,6,7].
Crowdsourcing refers to a large group of people collectively solving a problem or completing a task for an individual or an organisation. Its definition is disputed [2,8,9]. The terms citizen science, mHealth, and wisdom of the crowds are often incorrectly used interchangeably with crowdsourcing [9-11]. Crowdsourcing differs from citizen science in that it does not necessarily involve laypersons contributing and it can be using mHealth technology but this is not a requirement. ‘Wisdom of the crowds’ refers to a specific type of crowdsourcing that capitalises on people’s collective knowledge; there are examples of crowdsourcing that do not require people to use knowledge in order to complete tasks. An in-depth exploration of defining crowdsourcing is reviewed elsewhere .
The field of crowdsourcing has developed in information technology or business, but crowdsourcing can be a promising tool in health, and in global health in particular. It is rapid, low cost, and can collect a huge amount of information from a large number of people [3,12-15]. It also is a flexible method that has the potential to cover a variety of research, including quickly evolving epidemiological research and traditional behavioural research. It can cover unpredictable events, produce novel discoveries, and can also be used to raise public awareness[3,12-20]. Research in crowdsourcing has also been shown to be at least as accurate as traditional research methods [10,21].
This review examines uses of crowdsourcing in health, and in global health in particular.
This review is the second part of a larger review on crowdsourcing . Previously conducted reviews missed many peer-reviewed papers, due to poor indexing of crowdsourcing [3,22,23]; thus, Google Scholar was used to search peer-reviewed and grey literature for articles related to crowdsourcing and health. Semantic searches were conducted by combining ‘crowdsourcing’ with health-related terms, including ‘health,’ ‘public health,’ ‘genetics,’ and ‘disease,’ etc. A full list of the sematic searches can be found in Box 1. Searches were conducted in August 2015 and titles of results were scanned directly from within Google Scholar. Pages of search results within Google Scholar were scanned until it was clear that the results retrieved were no longer relevant. Box 1 provides details on how many pages of Google Scholar results were searched for each semantic search. 996 articles were identified through the Google Scholar search, of which 375 were discarded as duplicates or as irrelevant (not crowdsourcing) once abstracts were read. 285 of the articles related to various aspects of health. All 285 articles were read and organised into categories; as this is a narrative review, this article reports on the clusters that formed most prominently after organising the articles into categories in order to give an overview of the ways in which crowdsourcing is being used in health.
Box 1. Crowdsourcing semantic searches conducted in Google Scholar.
This review provides an overview of some of the ways crowdsourcing has been used, using a selection of the papers identified as illustration.
Eight areas of importance were identified: (i) diagnosis; (ii) surveillance; (iii) nutrition; (iv) public health and environment; (v) education; (vi) genetics; (vii) psychology; and, (viii) general medicine/other. Table 1 provides an in-depth description of the individual studies.
Mavandadi et al. , Ozcan Diagnosis Malaria diagnosis Uses gaming (BioGames) to diagnose malaria parasites. Gamers are given a tutorial, and must achieve accuracy of >99% in training game before playing real game. Gamers asked to label cell as infected vs healthy. Gamer diagnoses had an accuracy of 99%, sensitivity of 95.1% and specificity of 99.4%. Authors suggests that gaming could be a viable option for telepathology.
Feng et al. Diagnosis Malaria – education through diagnosis Based off BioGames app [24,25], used gamification to train non-experts to diagnose malaria parasites and compared diagnoses to experts. BioGames has achieved diagnostic accuracy comparable to that of experts when scores from individual non-experts are aggregated and the crowd size is large.
Luengo-Oroz et al. Diagnosis Malaria diagnosis A crowdsourcing game (MalariaSpot) was designed using malaria-positive blood films. Players were asked to tag as many malarial parasites as possible in 1 min and given continuous feedback. Combination of games or more resulted in extremely accurate identification of malarial parasites (99% accuracy).
Mitry et al. Diagnosis Detecting glaucomatous optic neuropathy Uses Amazon Mechanical Turk to study viability of crowdsourcing to detect glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Turkers were asked to classify images as normal or abnormal, with each image being classified 20 times. Authors had two groups, one did not restrict and the other restricted to high-performing Turkers. Sensitivity was high across both, ranging from 83%-88%, but specificity was poor, ranging between 35%-43%.
Brady et al. Diagnosis Grading of diabetic retinopathy Uses Amazon Mechanical Turk for classifying fundus photos of diabetic retinopathy. 81.3% of images were correctly classified in an average time of 25 s per image. However, Turkers struggled to specify the level of severity.
do Reis et al. Diagnosis Large scale molecular pathology studies in cancer Used 98 293 citizen scientists to access cell slider web page and score tumor markers. Specifically, citizen scientists scored sub-images of tissue microarray cores labelled for estrogen receptor prognosis. The citizen scientists performed well in identifying cancer (area under ROC curve 0.95, 95% CI 0.94 to 0.96), and estrogen receptor status (0.97, 95% CI 0.96 to 0.97), and was similar to trained pathologists.
Gehl et al. Diagnosis Skin self-examination for melanoma Conducted a physical crowdsourcing exercises in a mall, recruiting 500 participants and teaching basic skin self-examination techniques. Implemented various thresholds to improve crowd results. Using a 19% threshold, 90% of melanomas were identified and 72% of non-melanomas, and with a 65% threshold, 67% of melanomas were identified and 100% of non-melanomas. Authors recommend the 19% threshold.
Xiang et al. Diagnosis Diagnosing medical images Because there is a lack of high-level experts in rural China, the authors investigated whether crowdsourcing could be used to diagnose medical images. 2nd- or 3rd-year graduate students with a medical imaging major participated. The average accuracy was 39.54%, with the best student only making the correct diagnosis 50% of the time. Using a machine learning algorithm with majority voting, combined with crowdsourcing, which learns the students’ mistakes, accuracy can increase to 80%.
Cheng et al. Diagnosis Diagnosing medical illnesses Investigated the feasibility of using crowdsourcing for diagnosing medical conditions with case descriptions of varying difficulty, posted on Amazon Mechanical Turk, O’Desk, and web forums. Web forums were ineffective. Turkers diagnosed easy to diagnose cases. O’Desk workers were able to diagnose easy cases, but were more likely to express caution when providing diagnoses for any complicated cases, and some refused to provide diagnoses.
Sims et al. Diagnosis Point-of-care problem solving for clinicians Authors reports clinicians’ experiences using a crowdsourcing application for point-of-care problem solving, where clinicians post problems via an app and these are answered by verified users and viewable by users in that user’s provider group Over 80% of respondents felt that app could have a positive impact on patient care, medical education, referrals, and difficult diagnoses. Both non-users and users were surveyed, and non-users were more concerned about potential to disrupt workflow.
McComb & Bond Diagnosis Increasing diagnostic accuracy among junior physicians Developed and piloted a web-based crowdsourcing software to enable junior doctors to upload cases and receive feedback from expert physicians, with an element of gamification using reward points. The web interface improved diagnostic ability of junior clinicians, but senior clinicians were less actively involved, due to workload, time, availability and reluctance to embrace the new technology.
Freifeld et al. Surveillance Review of participatory epidemiology The author provides a review of participatory epidemiology, including FrontlineSMS, Ushahidi, GeoChat, Asthmapolis, and Outbreaks Near Me. While, at the time of this review, participatory epidemiology platforms were relatively new, there were already palatable benefits.
Chunara et al. Surveillance Online self-reported influenza Volunteer users filled in a short survey regarding flu symptoms, and enrolling family members. Volunteers enter information weekly, and a map of influenza is available to them. 9300 users in August 2012 throughout the US.
Michael & Geleta Surveillance Global disease surveillance Describes a smartphone app, Click Clinica, to increase the identification of infectious diseases globally. App contains clinical guidelines, and questions to confirm diagnosis and resistance information. When ‘live’ for one month, app had already been downloaded over 1000 times and 600 disease notifications had been added. Data was treated as most trusted depending on information provided by submitter (ie, if email, contact details submitted).
Qureshi et al. Surveillance Disease outbreak monitoring Uses Lady Health Workers in rural areas of Pakistan to report via SMS health information to an electronic disease monitoring system (Jaroka TeleHealthcare System), which provides geospatial location of patients for doctors, medical experts and health officials. The program was able to display regional patterns for diseases, as well as a disease outbreak that was due to a mass migration of internally displaced persons. The authors reported that the program helps identify whether an epidemic is imminent.
Lwin et al. Surveillance Dengue surveillance Reports on an app, “Mo-Buzz,” which contains predictive surveillance, civic engagement, and health communication. Citizens use the app or social media to report breeding sites, symptoms and mosquito bites. Using this information, tailored health messages are delivered to individuals living in hot spots. Predictive surveillance predicts outbreaks using this information, combined with weather and other data. The paper discusses some difficulties with the app, including verifying images due to clarity and receiving multiple images/submissions of the same breeding site. It does not report on the impact of the app on dengue outbreaks.
Chunara et al. Surveillance Malaria surveillance in India Amazon Mechanical Turk was used to solicit self-reports about malaria diagnosis and related information. Authors gained information of distribution of malaria species in India, and estimated burden, which coincided with official public health reports.
Freeman Identifying erroneous global burden of disease estimates Surveillance A crowdsourcing platform was designed, comparing the effect of gamification, to identify erroneous estimates in the global burden of disease database. Overall, the classifications were matched to a GBD expert 86% of the time. Adding gamification increased accuracy significantly, with gamified users identifying 1.7 times more trends than those using a standard (non-gamified) interface.
Harrison et al. Nutrition Restaurant reviews to identify foodborne illness Used poor Yelp reviews, specifically those using the words sick, vomit, diarrhea, or food poisoning, to identify food poisoning in New York City restaurants 3 cases of outbreaks met the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene criteria for a food outbreak that were previously unreported.
Kang et al. Nutrition Using Yelp reviews to correlated with failed hygiene inspections Authors review Yelp, examining whether reviews are correlated with failing hygiene inspections. The authors find that poor Yelp reviews are correlated with having failed hygiene inspections in Seattle.
Dunford et al. Nutrition Healthier food choices using an app An app, FoodSwitch, uses crowdsourced submissions of food products in Australia. Crowdsourced submissions are scanned by SKU and then labelled red, green, or yellow to make it easier for consumers to identify healthy foods. FoodSwitch has been downloaded by 400 000 users and more than 30 000 crowdsourced products have been added to the app.
Noronha et al. Nutrition Nutritional analyses using photos of food – “PlateMate” Uses Amazon Mechanical Turk, and a step-by-step process to estimate calories, fat, carbohydrates, and protein. First, every food item in a photo is tagged, then identified, then measured, each in a separate HIT. The application’s error rate was not significantly different from MealSnap (another application) or dieticians. Challenges identified include tagging the entire food item (otherwise it may only be partially measured at a latter stage), or correctly identifying the food item.
Moorhead et al. Nutrition Identifying calories in meals using a smartphone A mobile application was used to pilot the feasibility of a smartphone app for crowdsourcing with non-experts to identify calories. Training was provided to non-experts, who were asked a month later to estimate calories of food using a photo. A crowd of experts and non-experts was investigated. Both the crowd of experts and the crowd of non-experts outperformed individual experts or individual non-experts. The expert group estimated the calories significantly more accurately than the non-expert group.
Bevelander et al. Nutrition Predictors of obesity Participants recruited via reddit, and asked to pose and answer questions regarding childhood predictors of adult BMI for the purpose of generating predictors for a statistical model. Users answered previous questions and posed new ones. Final sample of 532, 56 new questions identified, 16 of which were highly correlated with adult obesity. Exploratory factor analysis identified 4 factors (home environment, psychosocial well-being, healthy lifestyle, and family history and biological factors). Study identified well-known predictors, but also predictors that had not been well-studied previously. Data collection was rapid.
Bongard et al. Nutrition Predictors of behavioural outcomes Participants recruited via reddit were asked to pose and answer questions regarding predictors of adult obesity and energy consumptions. The questions and their answers were used to develop predictors in a statistical model. Despite having a low number of participants in the energy sample, authors were able to develop a predictive model that showed that number of adults in the home and ownership of hot water in the home and an electric heater were predictive. The predictive model for BMI showed demographic, social, economic, genetic, psychological, dietary, and physical-activity related factors.
Patel et al. Public Health & Environment Measuring second-hang smoking in vehicles Developed an app to be used while driving (by passengers) to measure smoking in other vehicles. Smartphone collects data on number of cars passing (denominator) and user inputs when he/she sees a person smoking in the car, and if so, whether there are other occupants and if occupants are children A smoking prevalence of was 2.9% in New Zealand, was collected from 66 registered users. These results were similar to a study in 2011.
Ilakkuvan et al. Public Health & Environment Point-of-Sale Tobacco Uses Amazon Mechanical Turk and image annotation, with micro-tasks (using a zoom feature) to identify point-of-sale tobacco advertising, and compared to field-raters. Found excellent inter-rater agreement, with AUC averaging over 0.95 (with sensitivity analyses). Author recommends further testing of photograph annotation tools in future work.
Kim et al. Public Health & Environment Point-of-Sale Tobacco Authors used Gigwalk, which is a mobile crowdsourcing application, to request workers to physically conduct point-of-sale tobacco monitoring. Workers were provided with a manual, but no training, and their work was compared to trained data collectors. There was extremely high agreement between the crowd and trained data collectors on most measures, so much so that kappa couldn’t be computed in some instances as agreement was perfect.
Hipp Public Heath & Environment Built environment surveillance Used crowdsourcing to annotate and evaluate captured scenes from 23 000 webcams. Once annotated, study found changes in behaviour after changes in built environment.
Castell et al. Public Health & Environment Air pollution sensors Authors describe two projects where sensors are provided to citizens and linked to smartphones, measuring air pollution. The hope is that the sensors will change behaviour patterns, causing citizens to avoid polluted areas, while also producing a map of pollution for cities in which sensors are in use. The results of these projects were not described.
Turner et al. Public Health & Environment Testing multilingual health promotion Using Amazon Mechanical Turk, the authors tested promotional health materials with both native English and native Spanish speakers. Authors were able to reach a more diverse population than with traditional data collection methods, more quickly, and for less cost. They were able to gain more nuanced suggestions to tailor their materials to different populations.
Hildebrand et al. Public Health & Environment Including youth perspectives in HIV/AIDS messaging A website, CrowdOutAIDS.org, was created to enable youth to be involved in shaping policies, to set priorities and influence actions at UNAIDS. The website intended to connect a community of young people and collect their experiences and ideas and to provide a means to synthesize the information collected from youth globally. Questions were asked in community and online forums in order to ensure youth without internet access were able to participate. UNAIDS was able to collect information across the globe, highlight similarities and differences from youth both globally and within regions, and to enable youth to influence their policy.
Merchant et al. [19,20] Public Health & Environment Mapping Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) Developed a crowdsourcing challenge to map AEDs in Philadelphia, which was advertised on TV and radio. Contestants registered via Web or an app, and photographed AED locations (along with AED information) around the city for a chance to win US$ 10 000 prize. Study lasted 8 weeks. 313 teams and individuals participated and those >40 submitted more entries than younger participants. 1429 submissions were received.
Tucker et al. Public Health & Environment Contest for promotional videos HIV testing programs Authors launched a contest for promotional videos to encourage HIV testing in China. Seven eligible videos were received in 2 mo. Videos were judged on reaching untested individuals, engaging the community, and creating excitement around HIV testing.
Bow et al. Education Study materials for medical students The authors used Google Drive and Java to enable students in the preclinical medicine program to continuously submit and collaboratively edit study questions throughout the course. Prior to the exam, Java turned the study questions into flashcards. 16 150 study questions were created, and the students in that year outperformed students of the previous year in all exams.
Ewing et al. Genetics Detecting somatic mutations from cancer genomes Describes a DREAM challenge, which is a crowdsourcing competition, to detect somatic mutations from cancer genomes. Employed Google Cloud, and had a public, real-time leaderboard. Received 248 submissions from 21 teams over approximately 6 mo. The leaderboard enabled teams to improve submissions once they had an initial performance estimate. Finally, authors aggregated submissions of best-performing teams.
Loguercio et al. Genetics Human gene annotation Dizeez is a crowdsourcing game where players match genes with a clue of the disease; players receive points for selecting the correct disease-gene match. Players can select a specific disease area or protein family. Annotations that are reported across multiple players receive the highest confidence scores. In 9 mo, 6, 941 unique gene-disease assertions were generated from Dizeez; 2137 were not found in any gene-disease databases (OMIM, PharmGKB, or Gene Wiki). 17 of these associations occurred more than 7 times; these were statistically significant. Authors examined these through a manual literature search and found evidence 14.
Kido & Swan Genetics Exploring relationship between genes and social intelligence Using results from personal genomics (My Quantified Self), and through tracking personal behavior, the authors explore the relation between the OXTR gene and social intelligence using personality testing The authors’ results were not statistically significant and need more power; however, the authors’ initial results were in a different direction than hypothesized. Individuals with the AG genotype have lower EQ/IRI values than those with AA, and that an increase in the A allele’s frequency corresponds to decreased optimism.
Krantz & Berg Genetics Incidental findings in GWAS studies Authors propose using crowdsourcing to solve the problem of reporting incidental findings to populations who have participated in GWAS studies, given that new knowledge of genetic diseases is being discovered. Proposed system: authors propose a binning system, where crowd sorts findings into clinically actionable, clinically valid but not actionable, or no known clinical significance.
Shapiro et al. Psychology Investigating whether Amazon Mechanical Turk is applicable for mental health Amazon Mechanical Turk was used, restricted to US residents, to explore whether an AMT population would be a viable research tool for mental health studies. Participants were followed up one week later. Fabrication of mental health symptoms was investigated. The authors found that Turkers were younger, more educated, white, and more likely to be middle-class compared to the general population. The frequency of trauma exposure and depression. A high proportion of Turkers had clinically relevant anxiety symptoms, but this mirrors previous studies of active internet users. The data were deemed reliable, but authors recommend similar studies in other countries.
De Choudhury et al. Psychology Measuring depression in populations via social media Uses Amazon Mechanical Turk to obtain a survey on depression, and a self-report of history of depression. The Turkers could opt-in to share their social media handles. Handles that were shared were data mined within a three-month period. The authors characterize differences between depressed and non-depressed individuals, including time of posting, emotion, linguistic style, engagement and ego-network. These are used to create a social media depression index that could be used to predict risk of depression based on social media posts for other users.
Hong et al. Psychology Advice for people living with autism Authors wanted to explore using crowdsourcing for advice with people with autism, compared to in-group advice for the same. Questions were selected from online help forums, and authors uploaded those questions to Amazon Mechanical Turk. Authors received responses within hours, and paid US$ 90 for 400 responses. Out-group responders (those without autism) were more direct in advice, provided superior informational value, and more helpful answers than the in-group responses.
Yang & Srinivasan Psychology Social media surveillance Used Amazon Mechanical Turk workers to write 20 alternative sentences for each life satisfaction statement. Statements were then used to data mine Twitter. 1000 statements were collected in 5 d for less than US $10.
Love et al. General medicine/ Other Collateral damage of breast cancer treatment A webpage was designed to collect information regarding collateral damage of breast cancer treatment from survivors. 1191 responses were collected. While many issues reported were known side effects, some issues were not commonly reported.
Carter et al. General medicine/ Other Ovarian cancer awareness Using Amazon Mechanical Turk, the authors conduct a survey to explore awareness of ovarian cancer, using breast cancer as a control. Knowledge of ovarian cancer was low among the population studied (which was a US population).
Good et al. General medicine/ Other Gene selection for breast cancer survival Created a game called “the Cure” which trained players prior to entering the main gaming area. Once in this area, gamers play against an automated opponent, selecting genes in a decision tree classifier, with the aim of surviving. The authors divided players into ‘experts’ and ‘inexperienced’ and found that the expert group and considering both groups together significantly enriched knowledge for cancer related diseases, while the inexperienced group’s results did not.
Yu et al. General medicine/ Other Evaluation of medical pictograms Amazon Mechanical Turk was used to obtain judgement of meaning behind medical pictograms. Comprehensibility scores were calculated, which ranged from 45% to 98%, and correlated strongly to those in another study uses oral responses with the same pictograms. Misinterpretations were judged to be based on errors within the pictograms themselves, not with the Turkers’ abilities.
Dumitrache General medicine/ Other Extracting annotation from medical text “Dr. Detective” is a game that uses medical experts as a crowd, and is designed to extract annotation and solve disagreements in medical text. The results from the crowd were comparable to those of natural language processing parser.
Mortensen et al. General medicine/ Other Semantic tagging of medical documents Used CrowdFlower, and uploaded SNOMED CT relationships and a definition; the crowd was asked whether this was true or false. Experts were also asked to evaluate relationships. 200 SNOMED CT relationships were evaluated (each by 25 workers). The experts and crowd responses were nearly indistinguishable. Errors were identified, which is concerning regarding the biomedical ontologies within SNOMED CT.
Zhai et al. General medicine/ Other Natural language processing Using CrowdFlower, crowdsourcing medication names, types and linked attributes of clinical trials that were randomly selected from ClinicalTrials.gov High agreement between crowd’s annotations for medication names and types, correction of previous annotations and linking medications with their attributes. The authors found that simple voting provided the best form of aggregation.
Gottlieb et al. General medicine/ Other Adverse drug reactions Used Amazon Mechanical Turk to rank severity of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), which were retrieved from the SIDER2 database. Turkers were provided with 10 pairwise comparisons of ADRs and were asked to select which is worse. ADRs ranked as more serious by Turkers were also associated with more deaths in the FDA adverse events reporting system.
Khare et al. General medicine/ Other Drug indication curation Used Amazon Mechanical Turk to curate drugs indications. HITs were simplified by asking Turkers to make a judgement of whether a drug label is indicated for a disease, which is highlighted. 3000 HITs were posted from 706 drug labels in 8 h. The aggregated accuracy was 96%, and the total cost was US$ 1.75 per drug label, which is substantially less expensive that traditional alternatives.
Dasgupta et al. General medicine/ Other Black market prices for prescription opioids Uses StreetRx (a crowdsourcing website) to obtain prices of prescription opioids. Visitors to the website anonymously post the price they paid for prescription opioids and where they were purchased (and are able to see similar purchases and prices). 954 reports were obtained through the website. These were compared to prices provided through law enforcements and through the dark web. The prices were highly correlated between the three.
Maki & Cohstaedt General medicine/ Other Physical crowdsourcing of mosquito samples Authors collected physical samples of diptera culcidae mosquito through crowdsourcing methods. Authors received 110 shipped samples of mosquitos, 60% of which came from individuals unknown to laboratory members. Mosquitos came from areas that were difficult to reach.
McInerney et al. General medicine/ Other Logistical deliveries via crowdsourcing Authors propose a distribution method using the mobility of the local population, and using information gained by cell towers. Participants would exchange packages at a point they normally visit, at a time they normally visit it. Authors piloted their method, but did not describe it well.
Maier-Hein et al. General medicine/ Other Reference correspondence in endoscopic images during minimally invasive surgery Used Amazon Mechanical Turk to find sets of corresponding points in endoscopic images, the results of which were compared to medical students and experts. The experiment took 77 ± 16 min for 100 HITs. The authors note that 10 000 annotations could be generated in 24 h. Using a clustered analysis, the authors obtained an accuracy that outperformed 4 of 5 experts.
Behrend et al. General medicine/ Other Viability of crowdsourcing for organizational survey research Used Amazon Mechanical Turk to collect basic demographic information and information on internet knowledge, computer attitudes and knowledge, goal orientation, and personality. The results were compared to a control, which was a traditional psychology participant pool. Both samples were similar in demographic characteristics; however, the crowdsourcing sample was more diverse in education, employment status and profession. There was slightly better social desirability and reliability in the crowdsourced data. The authors conclude that crowdsourcing is a good data pool for organizational research.
Carlson General medicine/ Other Clinical trial protocols A clinical trial protocol was crowdsourced for input from physicians and patients. 43 physicians and 33 patients took part in the crowdsourcing process to inform development of the clinical trial’s protocol.
Villaroel General medicine/ Other Health care priority setting Uses Amazon Mechanical Turk to identify health care priorities, asking ‘what should be your priority when treating disease.’ Turkers were asked to distribute 100 points among 5/8 questions (which were randomly assigned) Dimensions identified include: scale of disease, household financial effects, social equity, cost-effectiveness, spillover effects. It is unclear from the manuscript which rated most important.
Diagnosis was the most common usage of crowdsourcing in health. Crowdsourcing has been used multiple times for diagnosing malaria, specifically, and then for grading images in order to diagnose various conditions and diseases [24-28,30-32,88]. It has also been used to assist physicians in diagnosing conditions [34,35].
Three articles described the BioGames project, where laypersons were able to diagnose red blood cells (RBCs) infected with malaria [24-26]. Mavandadi et al. argue that rapid diagnostics for malaria are expensive, unreliable due to heat/stability issues and not trusted by health care workers (HCWs) in low- and middle-income countries and that gamification of malaria diagnosis could improve the management of malarial fevers, be a better use of funding and reduce drug stock-outs . BioGames was available by Android and online. Gamers were given a tutorial, then in the game had a syringe to ‘kill’ infected cells and ‘collect’ healthy ones. The gamers reached an accuracy of 99% (95.1% sensitivity, 99.4% specificity), with the highest level of accuracy being with the largest crowd; however, the authors believe that with a larger crowd, a hybrid algorithm of machine learning and crowdsourcing would perform optimally. Ozcan argues using this method to create gold standard image libraries, for telepathology, point-of-care diagnostics in other conditions and also, to train HCWs in low-income settings . Using the same platform, Feng et al. report on training an education module of the game. The authors used positively or negatively marked cells and had training and diagnostician versions so users could see progress, review misdiagnosed cells and view their accuracy in comparison to their peers. The authors found it was easiest to diagnose negative cells and proposed that in future, laypersons or machines could pre-screen negative cells and send questionable and positive cells to experts for diagnosis. The BioGames project had >2150 gamers participate from over 77 countries, providing over 1.5 million diagnoses . A second malaria diagnostic project, MalariaSpot, utilised gamers over a website to also diagnose malaria in RBCs online. In the span of a month, this project had participants in over 95 countries, and over 12 000 games played . Participants were asked to tag as many malaria parasites as possible in 1 minute. Like BioGames, the accuracy of MalariaSpot was also over 99%.
Crowdsourcing has also been used to diagnose conditions through grading images. Mitry et al. used the Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT) platform, which is an online crowdsourcing platform that pays users micropayments for small tasks, to grade glaucoma images. The crowd performing the tasks on AMT are called “Turkers”. The authors obtained 2540 classifications of 127 disc images, with 83.22% sensitivity, but only 35%-43% specificity and suggested further micro-izing tasks to improve accuracy . AMT was employed in another study to grade images to screen for diabetic retinopathy, with three phases of grading. The authors found that Turkers were able to sufficiently determine normal vs abnormal, but had trouble grading the severity of retinopathy; however, sensitivity for whether retinopathy was present was 100% at all stages . Another study used a website to gather a crowd’s scores of estrogen receptor in breast cancer tumour tissue. A portion of the tissues was previously scored by a pathologist, allowing the authors to assign users a ‘user performance scale’ and a reliability/trust score for the crowd. The authors found the crowd’s ability was similar to that of a trained pathologists . Gehl et al. used a non-internet based crowdsourcing study to explore skin self-examination (SSE) for atypical moles. The authors recruited 500 participants from a mall, administered a pre-test and post-test and provided each participant with basic SSE techniques. The analysis used a threshold of 19% of participants to identify the mole as abnormal for it to be considered as such. Using this threshold, the participants correctly identified 90% of the melanomas and 72% of the non-melanomas . Xiang et al. attempted to use crowdsourcing to answer the need for a scarcity in medical imaging specialists outside major cities in China. The authors recruited 13 students in 2nd and 3rd year of medical school with a medical imaging major. The average accuracy for the individual was 39.54%; however, the authors were able to increase the accuracy using crowdsourcing algorithms to 56%, and found that machine learning algorithms performed higher. The authors noted that since all the participants were from the same department in the same medical school, the lack of diversity and experience may have contributed to the poor results .
Three articles described used crowdsourcing to either assist physicians in providing a diagnosis or to replace physicians in providing a diagnosis. Cheng et al. investigated the feasibility of three crowdsourcing platforms to provide diagnoses: volunteer platforms (ie, Yahoo! Answers), Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT), and O’Desk. They assessed cases of easy, medium and hard levels of difficulty. The case studies of hardest level of difficulty were taken from CrowdMed.com, which is a website which enables patients with “mystery” diseases to provide their detailed medical information to a crowd of medical experts (including specialists and medical students) who will submit their answers, and the correct diagnostician receiving a reward. The easy and medium levels were taken from another paper, which posted medical questions on Facebook to see if Facebook friends were able to answer [33,89]. The authors’ attempts at posting on the volunteer sites failed, as they did not receive responses. On AMT, the Turkers were able to solve many of the easy cases but had trouble with the medium difficulty cases, although the authors stated that these may have been poorly described. None of the CrowdMed cases were answered correctly by AMT workers. O’Desk is a crowdsourcing platform that contracts employees, and the authors hired health care professionals. All the easy level questions were answered correctly by O’Desk, but each only answered one medium level case correctly. The original O’Desk workers declined to answer the CrowdMed cases, expressing uncertainty; the second contracted O’Desk workers were unable to answer correctly.
The DocCHIRP (Crowdsourcing Health Information Retrieval Protocol for Doctors) is a mobile application that helps clinician’s problem solving at the point-of-care. Sims and colleagues presented the experiences of clinicians using the application. 78% of clinicians using the application reported benefit on routine patient care, medical education and accurate referrals, as well as diagnosing unusual cases. Some concerns reported by clinicians included lowered productivity, due to responding to the application, and interference with ‘off the clock’ time, though the latter was only reported among non-users . McComb and Bond also reported on an application that assists clinicians in making diagnoses. Their application, called CoDiagnose, has junior doctors upload case information and receive feedback from a crowd of expert clinicians and it features a built-in e-Learning component. The junior doctors’ diagnostic accuracy improved 14% with the use of the application; however, the authors reported a lack of enthusiasm on part of the expert clinicians about participating .
Another very common purpose to which crowdsourcing is used in health is surveillance, both in the context of research and in emergency situations for programming. A number of articles described pilots or projects that employed crowdsourcing for health surveillance [36-42]. As of 2013, 70% of the world's population carried a mobile phone , making surveillance through mHealth a promising avenue.
Freifeld and colleagues reviewed a number of crowdsourcing platforms that have been used for community surveillance and participatory epidemiology. Frontline SMS, also called Frontline SMS Medic, enables users to request needs via SMS. It has been used in Malawi, Burundi, Bangladesh and Honduras. Ushahidi is an open source crowdsourcing application that collects individual reports via web, SMS, and email. It can classify, translate and geotag results. Ushahidi was initially created in response to election violence in Kenya, but it has been used most famously in the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake. It has also been deployed in Uganda, Malawi, Afghanistan, and Zambia. Ushahidi also has a feature for collecting voice reports, which is essential for people who are not literate. Geochat is another crowdsourcing application. It aims to aid in faster and more coordinated responses to disease outbreaks and natural disasters. Team members use the application to communicate their location through SMS, email and web. This information synchronises on all users’ devices. The application has been launched in Thailand and Cambodia .
Asthmapolis is a GPS-enabled inhaler that is linked to a user’s phone and tracks asthma attacks. The application compiles the information from those using its inhalers and generates a risk map for environmental triggers . Freifeld et al. also reported on two other crowdsourcing applications, HealthMap and OutbreaksNearMe, which mapped influenza in the United States using submissions by laypersons. Chunara et al. also reports on a similar tool, FluNearYou, which maps influenza outbreaks using submissions by laypersons and generates a map to identify outbreaks .
ClickClinica is an application that was developed to provide General Practitioners (GPs) and Medical Doctors (MDs) indexed guidelines for diseases. Currently, GPs and MDs use the application to diagnose diseases by asking questions about the condition of the patient. The submitted data are graded by the quality of the user information, ie, if the submitter has a medical ID or an institutional email. Over 1000 MDs across the world have been using the application, despite it not being marketed. The application can also be used to increase recruitment for clinical studies through GIS notification of nearby, relevant studies. The authors suggested that this application could be developed into real-time global surveillance based on usage .
Qureshi and colleagues described the Jaroka Tele-Health System, which employed Lady Health Workers in rural Pakistan to use SMS/MMS to register patients, report symptoms, acquire prescriptions and connect to specialists. The resulting data was then used to track disease spread and the authors have been able to use the visualised data via crude numbers or rates and identify clustering; the authors found higher rates of disease during times of migration and with internally displaced persons, which could be explained by poor sanitation and overpopulation. They also found increased rates of hypertension in women in these populations .
Lwin et al. designed a participatory epidemiology application, called Mo Buzz, in Sri Lanka to combat dengue. Mo Buzz has three components: (i) predictive surveillance; (ii) civic engagement; and, (iii) health communication. The predictive surveillance component uses a machine learning algorithm to determine weather, vector and human data in the form of hotspot maps for the public and for health officials. The civic engagement component involves people reporting breeding sites, symptoms, and bites; these are reflected on the hotspot map. Finally, this information is communicated to the public and to health officials .
Chunara et al. use AMT to survey the malaria prevalence in India. Turkers are asked questions regarding malaria symptoms, date of onset, the malaria status of their household members and their awareness of malaria in their communities. The study found that diagnosis peaked in August and this correlated with official reports .
A recent study using Global Burden of Disease (GBD) data examined creating a game to scan the GBD database for errors, as algorithms currently used are imperfect. While participants were staff from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, and thus not laypersons with no background knowledge, the author found that using gamification increased the accuracy of results by 1.7 times . As only 4% of infectious diseases have been comprehensively mapped, innovative solutions such as AMT and other crowdsourcing applications detailed above may be useful in providing infectious disease mapping and surveillance .
In the area of nutrition, articles employing crowdsourcing focused on food safety, food labelling, assessing how healthy the meals were, and identifying predictors of obesity [43-50]. Two articles used Yelp reviews to assess food safety in restaurants, one in New York City and the other in Seattle [43,44]. In New York City, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene received data from Yelp and used computer algorithms to scan the data for probable food poisoning cases. These cases were then reviewed by a foodborne epidemiologist, and probable cases were requested for interview. Three outbreaks were discovered by the study . The second article, which uses Yelp reviews for Seattle, tested whether Yelp reviews would be able to predict whether a restaurant would fail its health inspection. The authors found that the Yelp reviews were 82% accurate predictors for restaurants that would fail health inspections .
As food packaging is often complicated and difficult to understand for consumers, Dunford and colleagues created a traffic light application that is populated through crowdsourced submissions in order to enable people in Australia to make healthier choices about their diets . Their application is called “FoodSwitch Australia.” Three other articles published efforts to ensure consumers were able to make healthy decisions about the food they eat. Noronha and colleagues, Turner-McGrievy and colleagues and Moorhead and colleagues developed applications to enable crowds to rate the ‘healthiness’ of food being eaten. Noronha et al.’s application, “Platemate” had participants take a photo before and after their meals and asked the crowd to estimate the calories and nutritional composition. They found the estimates of the crowd did not differ significantly from that of experts . Turner-McGrievy et al.’s “EateryApp” had the crowd rating the healthiness of photos of food after 1.5 hours of training. The authors also compared their ratings to those of experts and found a strong correlation between the ratings (r = 0.88, P < 0.001) . Moorhead also used photos to have a crowd estimate the calories in food, but also developed personalised messages for prevention and management of obesity. They piloted their application with a crowd of 12 non-experts and 12 experts. In both cases, the group estimates were more accurate than any individual estimate .
Finally, two articles reported on using crowdsourcing to develop predictors of obesity in a statistical model [49,50]. Both articles used reddit to recruit participants and had participants initially answering questions commonly known to be predictors of obesity. Then, they posed new questions, which the group as a whole would answer. Bevelander et al. found that some participants identified examples that were not well documented in literature and suggested that those could be possible new directions for future research. The study also found that only about 7% of participants posed new questions; the remaining participants answered questions only.
Crowdsourcing has been used in public health for research in the areas of tobacco control, physical activity and built environment, environmental health, to shape messaging and for public health related contests [51-58].
Patel et al. created an application to measure the prevalence of smoking in vehicles. The application had a mechanical counter to track passing vehicles, thus providing the denominator, and the person using the application would record each instance of a person smoking in the vehicle. The authors found a prevalence of 2.9% and had 66 users . Two articles used crowdsourcing for point-of-sale tobacco (POS) monitoring. Ilakkuvan and colleagues used AMT for image annotation. The authors were testing image annotation, rather than monitoring per se, and found that image annotation improved when Turkers were provided with microtasks and given the option to zoom in on photos . The final article examining POS tobacco use physically deployed their crowd to the locations under surveillance. The crowd photographed the stores and answered questions. The authors found high agreement on what the stores sold, but poor agreement on promotions; however, authors noted this could be due to the crowdsourced visitors visiting the stores at different times than the trained experts, when the stores simply had different promotions .
Hipp and colleagues used webcams in the United States to capture changes after altering the built environment, for example, by adding a crosswalk or adding a bike lane. The authors then used AMT to annotate the webcam images for the pedestrian and cyclist traffic before and after the changes to the built environment. This was done in order to determine the impact the alteration has had on people’s behaviours. The authors found that AMT was a successful method for image annotation and that there were measurable changes after the built environment was altered . Castell et al. used physical crowdsourcing to explore environmental health, and they hoped to have an impact on the health, too. The authors created CITI-SENSE and CITI-SENSE-MOB, two applications which used sensors that were attached to mobile phones that obtained individual-level data on air quality pollution that were GPS-tagged. These data provided users with a map of where pollution was the worst, so they could avoid it .
Turner and colleagues employed AMT to test multilingual promotional dental materials (in English and Spanish). They were able to receive feedback from almost 400 Turkers in less than 2 weeks and received especially valuable feedback from the Spanish-speaking Turkers regarding the cultural appropriateness and dialects of their messaging . An additional public health messaging project that used crowdsourcing was CrowdoutAIDS, which was a large campaign by the UNAIDS Secretariat that had included youth, both online and offline, from 79 countries in shaping UNAIDS messaging and their priorities for sexual health .
Another way crowdsourcing has been used in public health is through contests to draw attention to important causes and promote public engagement. In Philadelphia, a large crowdsourced competition was deployed to bring attention to heart disease through mapping automated external defibrillators (AEDs) [19,20]. Through this contest, 1429 AEDs were located through 313 submissions. Data were validated through GPS, door-to-door and photo verifications. The authors were pleasantly surprised that, despite being a social-media based exercise, many older participants contributed. Another exercise that used a crowdsourcing contest to draw attention to a public health concern asked participants to design and develop videos to promote HIV testing in China. Seven eligible videos were submitted in an eight-week time period .
Bow and colleagues reported using crowdsourcing with their pre-clinical medicine students at Johns Hopkins University to create flashcards to improve studying. The professors had questions and respective answers after lectures available on GoogleDrive, which was shared with the class. Students were able to add to questions, add new questions and add to answers. The questions were changed to flashcards using Java, to assist students as study aids. The students’ grades improved in comparison with students from the previous year . Another study stated that crowdsourcing could help educators grade students’ assignments more fairly, but did not elaborate .
In genetics, crowdsourcing has been used for challenges in genetic research, for matching genes to mutations, to identify novel hypotheses through crowdsourced data, and it was proposed as a solution for incidental findings in genomics studies [60-65].
Sage and Dream are two organisations that heavily use crowdsourcing in genetics research. Plenge et al. report on one of their challenges, which was to develop genetic predictors of a response to immunosuppressive therapy in rheumatoid arthritis, using genome-wide association study (GWAS) data. The challenge was team-based, collaborative and open to both public and private contributors. The team that produced the best predictive model would win the challenge . Ewing and colleagues reported on another Dream challenge, which aimed to identify somatic mutations in cancer genomes. The data for this challenge was distributed via GoogleCloud, and the challenge employed a Leaderboard for a competitive aspect. There were 248 submissions by 21 teams in 157 days .
Dizeez is a human gene annotation game where players guess which gene causes which disease, out of four options. The game aims to identify gene-disease associations that are known but not present in structured annotation databases. Authors took the genes selected to be associated with a particular disease by many players for further investigation. The authors note that, unfortunately, when players suggest potentially novel associations, they are ‘punished’ by the game. However, the game was able to successfully identify gene-disease associations . Another gene matching game, EntrezGene, used AMT to match genes from papers and abstracts to their EntrezGene identifier. Turkers were asked to judge whether the gene is associated with a mutation and 20% of the tasks were controls. In the authors’ report, there were problems with the study giving false information to the Turkers but after adjusting for this, the Turkers achieved 82.3% precision .
Kido and Swan reported on using crowdsourced data from MyQuantifiedSelf, which is a personal genomics company, in order to test their novel hypothesis, that some genetic profiles would exhibit a natural capacity for social intelligence. The authors combined citizen science as a form of crowdsourcing and the daily tracking of their “MyFinder” application in order to explore the role of genomics (OXTR gene mutations) on personalities. The authors found that their hypothesis did not appear to be valid, that the increase in the frequency of the G allele did not lead to increased optimism; however, an increase in the frequency of the A allele seemed to lead to decreased optimism. The authors stated that further analyses with larger sample sizes needed to be conducted in order to confirm their hypotheses .
Finally, as GWAS studies are becoming more prevalent and the probability of incidental findings becomes more likely, Krantz and Berg suggest crowdsourcing as a solution to managing incidental findings. The authors proposed a ‘binning system’ in genetic studies that employs crowdsourcing, such as through AMT, to separate incidental findings into bins based on their current risk to the individual. For example, clinically actionable results would be placed in “bin 1”, while results with a high clinical validity with no actionability would be in “bin 2” and those with no clinical significance would be in “bin 3.” The results in bin 2 would need to be re-scored as new advances in medicine are made .
There were four articles published in psychology [66-69]. The first explored the viability of using crowdsourcing, specifically via AMT, for studying mental health issues. The authors assessed misrepresentation, inconsistencies in basic demographic information and clinical symptom reporting. The authors found that AMT workers' mental health mirrors that of the general population, other than social anxiety and satisfaction of life scales. AMT workers have an increased social anxiety, which mirrors other internet-based studies, and lower satisfaction with life scales . A second study used AMT to diagnose major depressive disorder (MDD). It asked users for the Twitter account and data-mined their accounts for one-year prior in order to measure user engagement, egocentric social graph, linguistic style, depressive language use, and their mention of using antidepressants. The control was a standard user class. The authors found lower social activity, greater negative emotion, higher self-attentional focus, increased relational and medicinal concerns and heightened expression of religious thoughts among the MDD group .
The third study explored the potential for crowdsourcing to adequately respond to discussions in an autism support group by outsourcing the help questions to AMT and having the responses rated against the in-group answers. The AMT answers were rated as more helpful and AMT was seen as a quick way to provide direct and informal emotional support and to broaden perspectives of the autistic community . The final study combined crowdsourcing and data mining, using AMT to generate alternative Life Quality Statements to enable comprehensive data mining for these statements from Twitter .
Remaining examples of crowdsourcing were in areas of oncology, medical text, various aspects of drugs, including curation, severity of reactions and even black market prices, examples of physical crowdsourcing and other miscellaneous examples [70-76,78-87,93].
Love and colleagues used crowdsourcing to explore women’s questions regarding collateral damage from breast cancer treatment. Advocacy organisations collected responses to the questions posed. Many of the women who submitted questions complained of fatigue, memory loss, numbness, anxiety or depression . Another study used crowdsourcing to survey the knowledge of the population about ovarian cancer, using breast cancer as a control. The authors used AMT as a platform and found that 56% of those surveyed reported no knowledge of ovarian cancer . A third study employed a crowdsourcing game, ‘the Cure,’ to predict breast cancer survival in order to improve prognostic indicators of breast cancer. Approximately 60% of players were not knowledgeable about breast cancer. The authors reported that both the expert and the all (expert and non-expert combined) set ‘significantly enriched’ knowledge, but that the non-expert group alone did not. The responses of the expert group performed well in a Sage contest as well .
As a solution to challenges with health literacy and poor comprehension and adherence to text-based medical instructions, Yu and colleagues used AMT to test picture-based medical instructions using existing pictograms from the Internet. The results showed that semantic concepts were difficult to represent in pictures (ie, take with additional water or take in the AM). Turkers with higher levels of education performed better. Yu et al. suggested future studies should use tailor-designed pictograms and explore the interplay between education and responses as well as the role of culture and different countries in ability to comprehend the pictograms . Seifert and colleagues describe conceptual framework for using AMT with the aim to extract facts from interdisciplinary scientific literature in order to help researchers keep track of overlapping topics across disciplines . Another article described the use of gamification to enable both experts and laypersons to complete text extraction, term categorisation, relation extraction and relation categorisation in games called “Dr. Detective” and “Crowd Watson.” These games employed crowdsourcing through natural language processing (NLP) and relied on inter-annotator agreement . A third example of NLP using crowdsourcing was Parry et al.’s SNOMED CT (Systemised Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical Terms) which used semantic tagging, similar to Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms, in order to help clinicians code free-text documents. SNOMED CT used crowdsourcing, along with a learning algorithm, to imply membership in a particular ontology and the degree of ‘fuzziness’ the member believes the ontology to be; users then rate how related it is . Crowdsourcing was also used to investigate errors in SNOWMED CT, and when compared to experts, their results were comparable .
Crowdsourcing has been used in drug research in various ways, including through NLP, ranking the severity of reactions, curating drug indications and to identify black market prices for drugs. Zhai et al. used Crowdflower, which is a crowdsourcing platform similar to AMT, in order to have a crowd perform NLP tasks that identify medication types, names and link these to their attributes. The authors found that there was high agreement between the crowd’s NLP and expert-generated NLP (0.87 for medication names, 0.73 for medication types and 0.90 for linking medication to attributes). There were no significant differences between crowdsourced NLPs and experts after developing a “trust” threshold in the analysis, where the Turker meets a threshold to become “trusted” . Gottlieb and colleagues used AMT to rank the severity of almost 3000 adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The authors found that the ADRs ranked most severe were more correlated with death (r = 0.53) . Khare et al. aimed to use AMT to create a database of unique drug indications, by providing microtasks to Turkers, asking them to differentiate between whether a drug is indicated for a particular condition or the condition is listed for another reason (ie, it is a risk factor, side effect, contraindication, etc.). The crowd achieved over 90% accuracy and over 96% accuracy in identifying drug indications through majority voting . Finally, Dasgupta et al. described the use of crowdsourcing to identify black market prices for opioids through StreetRx. With StreetRx, people were able to anonymously post where, when and the prices that either they or someone they know purchased street drugs for. People were able to access the website without posting, thus drug users were able to see if they were buying their drugs at a fair price. Drug users were motivated to post on the website, as it could prevent them from overpaying for their drugs. The researchers compared the prices on StreetRx to prices reported by law enforcement officials and from a ‘dark web’ website, Silk Road. The researchers found no significant differences, other than for morphine .
Three articles reported on physical instances of crowdsourcing. Maki and Cohnstaedt reported on using crowdsourcing to collect physical samples of mosquitos from a mostly trained crowd. Through crowdsourcing, the authors were able to collect mosquitos in “geographically vital, hard-to-access locations” and achieved a 91% response rate . McInerney and colleagues reported on a pilot to employ crowdsourcing and Bayesian modelling to deliver items in low- and middle-income countries. The authors described using cell towers during texts and calls to predict temporality, assessing the number of people to achieve geographic coverage and the feasibility to deliver to rural locations and briefly mention a pilot. Despite an in-depth description of the theory behind their crowdsourcing model and the plans for their pilot, the authors hardly discussed their pilot, except to say that it did not perform well and there were delays in all areas (urban and rural) . Finally, Maier-Hein et al. suggested using crowdsourcing for minimally-invasive surgery that required establishing correspondences and was typically done by a medical expert. The authors found that crowdsourcing was comparable to medical experts and could be used to train algorithms .
Similar to the psychology studies which tested whether crowdsourcing could be used to sample a population for psychological studies, Behrend et al. explored whether crowdsourcing would be an appropriate population for organisational research, comparing the demographics of a crowd from AMT to a university population. The authors found that the crowdsourcing population was more diverse professionally, and constituted an attractive pool for organisational research .
Carlson described a clinical trial protocol that has been reviewed not only by peers, but by patients, using crowdsourcing. He asserted that the clinical trial protocol was faster, and that using the intellectual capacity of patients in addition to researchers would enable the trial to attract participants . Another author advocated for including the general population in health research, but in shaping their research priorities. Villaroel gave an example of a research priority setting exercise that was done in India using AMT. In this exercise, there were significant differences in priorities of those who did and did not vote in the last election, leading the author to assert that elected officials may not have the entire populations’ interests at heart . Finally, Meisel et al. suggested an innovative solution using crowdsourcing to combat overcharging at US hospitals. As US hospitals often charge different rates for insured and non-insured customers and can charge exorbitant rates for simple procedures, such as US$ 55 000 for an appendectomy, the authors suggested creating a database where consumers post their hospital bills. Membership in this database could be free once the user has posted one bill. This would help maintain accountability and transparency among the hospitals .
Many studies focused on using crowdsourcing for diagnostics or for surveillance. Indeed, it appears that crowdsourcing can be uniquely positioned to improve diagnostics and surveillance of illness. Strategies to improve accuracy included employment of machine-learning algorithms [24,32,40,76], gamification [24-27,42], and establishing thresholds for trustworthiness or questions to weed out malicious workers [31,63].
Crowdsourcing has the potential to improve diagnostics two ways; first, employing a crowd of laypersons and experts through gamification of diagnostics, as shown through BioGames and MalariaSpot [24-27] which have proven to be an effective way arrive at an accurate diagnosis without the need for experts. These games were especially beneficial at identifying RBC that were negative for malarial parasites, which could free expert time, enabling experts to spend time confirming positive blood smears. As Feng et al. and Ozcan suggested, BioGames can be used to train HCWs in LMICs to diagnose RBCs for malaria, which is extremely valuable. While these articles focused on malaria diagnostics, it can easily be imagined that a similar game could be made to diagnose other bloodborne pathogens. If such a game had similar success, online gaming through crowdsourcing could be used to complement traditional laboratory diagnostics and laboratory technicians would spend much less time looking at negative blood smears.
Applications that were developed to use a crowd to grade images had less success than those to identify infected blood cells, though Turkers seemed to be proficient at identifying whether there was presence or absence of retinopathy and when authors employed innovative techniques such as trustworthiness scales or thresholds in their analyses, they achieved better results [30,31]. Other strategies to increase accuracy that have been suggested include providing microtasks; Ilakkuvan et al. reported better results after enabling a zoom feature for image annotation and having micro image annotation tasks . This is synonymous with suggestions of conditions under which to use crowdsourcing that were previously reported [8,9,15].
The second way crowdsourcing can be used in diagnostics in by helping clinicians make diagnoses through applications such as DocCHIRP and CoDiagnose, which had promising results. However, both applications appeared to have some push-back from their ‘crowd’ of experts [34,35], which questions their sustainability.
Surveillance was the area in which crowdsourcing has been the most successful at the largest scale. Freifeld et al. listed many successful crowdsourcing surveillance applications that are being used for health care in emergency and disaster response situations, such as Ushahidi, Frontline SMS and Geochat . These studies also lowered barriers to entry (for example, through providing multiple ways to submit data, including through voice to text, providing translation services, etc.), which may have contributed to their success . Many of the surveillance applications include some component of civic engagement, either overtly like Mo-Buzz, which uses its predictive surveillance for health communication or less obviously, by relying on mass submissions from laypersons in order to function .
Crowdsourcing was found to be useful to predict poor sanitary conditions and foodborne illnesses based on Yelp reviews [43,44], to assess whether meals were healthy, irrelevant of whether the crowd was formed of experts or laypeople [46,47] and to identify predictors of obesity in statistical models for childhood and adulthood obesity [49,50]. Applications to help people make healthy choices based on where and what they eat are important. Harrison et al. and Kang et al. have shown that Yelp reviews can be used to direct scarce resources from Public Health Departments to direct food inspectors to the most likely the culprits. Applications that show consumers how healthy their meals are could be important not only in obesity prevention, but also to ensure that consumers are eating a well-balanced diet. Bevelander et al. reported that their crowdsourcing exercise identified predictors of obesity that were not found in the literature and that should be explored in future research . This method to identify predictors for statistical models for both well studied and less commonly researched diseases could be especially beneficial before beginning a study, while deciding which data will be collected.
Some of the research that has taken advantage of crowdsourcing in the public health and environmental health would not have been possible without crowdsourcing. For example, Hipp’s characterisation of changes in the built environment’s effect on physical activity, using web cam footage, would not have been possible without crowdsourcing; it would have been impossible to have the hours and hours of webcam footage annotated. The CITI-SENSE and CITI-SENSE-MOB project, which uses mobile phones to obtain individual level data that are GPS tagged to map air pollution, would also be impossible without crowdsourcing.
Crowdsourcing competitions, for public health or for genetics, have proven to be successful. Merchant et al. and Tucker et al. have used crowdsourcing to draw attention to AEDs in Philadelphia and to HIV testing in China, respectively [19,20,58], whereas Sage and Dream organisations have conducted many challenges for genetic research to identify genetic predictors of immunosuppressive therapy in rheumatoid arthritis or to identify somatic mutations in cancer genomes [60,61]. Kido et al. reported on an innovative combination of citizen science and crowdsourcing, using MyQuantifiedSelf, which takes personal genomics and uses a crowd of people who have MyQuantifiedSelf results to fill in personality tests to test the relationship between genetics and personality . Other authors have included laypersons in gamifying genomics, through EntrezGene, which matches genes to their abstract using AMT . Finally, due to the high number of incidental findings being identified in GWAS studies, Krantz and Berg suggested crowdsourcing as a solution, using a large crowd to go through the findings and putting the findings into ‘bins’ depending on their clinical validity and actionability .
Crowdsourcing has been used to predict survival of cancer, using both laypersons who were not knowledgeable about cancer and experts (though the expert group performed better), which demonstrated that having some knowledge is important when the subject matter is advanced . However, laypeople have been able to perform to expert-level accuracy in other tasks, such as annotation [78,93]. Diagnostics is an area where crowdsourcing is especially promising, as shown by the malaria studies. Interestingly, the most promising studies in diagnostics employed gamification, which was shown to improve accuracy in an unrelated study [24-27,42]. Authors have explored whether crowds of AMT workers display similar characteristics to the general population and concluded that they are appropriate for organisational research and for psychological research, as they differed minimally [66,67,84].
It is important for future work using crowdsourcing to consider the appropriateness of the crowd being used, to ensure the crowd has the capability and the adequate knowledge and also, to design the task and the method of analysis effectively. Freeman found that using gamification (ie, having crowdsourcing activities linked to a game with rewards, scoreboards or some sort of competition) improved accuracy and, examples provided that have used gamification have been quite successful . Other modes of analysis that have been successful include introducing thresholds and degrees of trustworthiness in order for an individuals’ answers to be included into the crowd’s or for the crowds’ answer to be used [30,31]. It is important to note that not all the research, nor all the successful research, in crowdsourcing involved the Internet. Some of the crowdsourcing studies were done in person or involved sending in physical samples [31,81]. Previous definitions of crowdsourcing necessitated using the internet , but use of the internet is not compulsory and this is important to stress, especially in the context of global health where use of the internet may not be accessible to all.
Crowdsourcing as a field is still nascent, with the term having only been coined a decade ago . Despite this, it has been used across numerous disciplines in medicine, from diagnosis and surveillance to nutrition, psychology, and even to crowdsourcing minimally invasive surgery. The wideness of uses demonstrates that crowdsourcing applications have been innovative and adaptable. However, many of the crowdsourcing applications have not been used past pilot phases, with the exception of surveillance applications that are used in disaster and emergency relief. These exceptions demonstrate that it is possible to use crowdsourcing at scale; further efforts are needed to take promising crowdsourcing applications to scale in order to provide accessible health care to more communities and individuals rapidly at a low cost.

I remember as a kid hearing Mel Blanc voicing the animated Frito Bandito, a character who loved Frito Lay products so much that he would steal them.
The problem... the stereotypical character was offensive to Mexicans and persons of Mexican descent. Well, actually only 8% of those polled found the character offensive.
Thus, the end of a television icon.

Mango Architecture has designed the interior of Battery, a new ‘lighthouse-style’ rooftop restaurant that was conceived by Philippe Starck and previously occupied by Nobu.
The restaurant, which opens next month in London’s Canary Wharf, sits within three floor-to-ceiling glass walls and is owned by Inc Group, which briefed the practice to create ‘a warmer and more welcoming space’, says Jonathan Mangham, Mango Architecture founder.
Mangham’s solution replaces the minimal decor and white walls of Nobu with glass, chestnut wood, leather and granite. He was also asked to create an interior that wouldn’t compete with the restaurant’s panoramic view.
The 100-seat restaurant shares its floor with a lounge area, also designed by the consultancy, which has been coloured in ‘clarets, golds and chestnuts’ and features a mirrored glass bar, green willow leather banquettes, ‘sage leather’ barstools and hand-blown pendant lights made by Anthony Stern.
A private members’ club is planned for next year, where ‘very different’ decor is promised. Wooden panelling, leather sofas and ‘opulent’ colours will run through a private dining area.
The restaurant identity has been designed by Glasgow consultancy Algiz.
Yes sounds great – but where is it?

The main aim of Indian Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) is to enhance transparency in the real estate related transactions by creating a systematic and a uniform regulatory environment, thereby protecting consumers’ interest and making real estate developers liable for timely completion of projects along with committed specifications, facilities and amenities.
Buyers have the rights to get project details such as such as cost of land, development agreement, sanctioned plans, open spaces, cost of construction, covered parking lots, phase-wise plans of development, project completion time etc. These details will be available on the respective state’s RERA website.
Buyers can also get the updates related to the sale of units and covered parking lots.
The law has mandated developers to register their projects with their respective state’s Real Estate Regulatory Authority within three months of the implementation of the RERA rules in their state. The developer cannot advertise, market, book, sell or offer for sale, or invite persons to purchase in any manner any plot, apartment or building until or unless he/she will not register the said project with the RERA authority. Those who fail to register their properties as per the Act will be liable to a penalty, which may extend up to 10 per cent of the estimated cost of the project. The Act states that on continuous violation, the developer or promoter of the project shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term, which may extend up to three years, or with a fine which may extend up to a further 10 per cent of the estimated cost of the project, or with both.
Also, the promoters shall be required to provide quarterly updates on the status of the project to the authority.
If a buyer finds any structural or workmanship defect within five years from date of being handed over the flat, then the developer will have to rectify it without any further charge. If he fails to do so then the buyer has the right to complaint against the developer to the RERA authority.
A buyer can also file a complaint against the developer if he make any additions and alterations in the sanctioned plans, layout plans and specifications and the nature of fixtures, fittings and amenities etc. without the previous consent of at least two-thirds of the allottees, other than the promoter, who have agreed to take apartments in a building.
The developer is not to restrict sale on the basis of caste or community. If he does so, the buyer has the right to file a cased against him to the RERA authority.
If a project gets delayed then the developer will be liable to pay the monthly interest on bank loans taken for under-construction flats.
The buyer can claim possession of the unit and the association of buyers can collectively claim possession of the common areas as declared by the real estate developer.
The consumers must make the payments on time to the real estate developer as per the agreement. He/she is also liable to pay the share of registration charges, municipal taxes, maintenance charges, ground rent, electricity charges, water supply charges etc.
The consumers must take the possession of the unit within two months of issuance of the occupancy certificate, failing to do so can attract penalties.
The consumer must actively participate in the formation of an association, a consumer federal or any cooperative society.
If allottees fail to comply with the orders of the Appellate Tribunal, he/she may get imprisonment up to one year or fine up to 10% of the plot/apartment/unit cost for every day during which the default continues or both.
If developer/agent fails to deliver his promise, buyers will have to approach the Authority by filling up a complaint form . The complaints will be heard and disposed of in a time-bound manner. If the buyer is not satisfied with the orders passed by the Authority, he can appeal to the Appellate Tribunal , and eventually the High Court.

67.8% of respondents to a Google Consumer Survey said Israel should receive no compensation for the US finalizing a deal with Iran over its civilian nuclear program, which was begun at the behest of the US when Washington’s puppet, the Shah, one of the world’s worst human rights violators, ruled over Iran.
Obama is currently offering Israel increased aid to compensate for the agreement. Israel is the biggest recipient of US aid at over $3 billion per year, and Obama has increased aid to Israel after each of Israel’s major massacres in the Gaza refugee camp since Obama assumed power.
The major study of the issue of citizen impact on US government policy, conducted in 2014 by research teams out of Princeton and Northwestern universities, looked at nearly 2,000 policies and found that average-income US citizens have “near zero, statistically non-significant” impact on them, while the most affluent citizens essentially dictate policy. This dynamic has been illustrated by previous research, such as by Larry Bartels of Vanderbilt.
The US and Israel have both continued to make threats of force, criminal acts under the UN charter adopted by both countries, against Iran since the agreement, and Obama’s anti-democratic offering of increased aid to Israel could possibly signal that the “leave it to Bibi” strategy is still being entertained, along with any number of other goals.

"A pleasant enough room, clean and tidy, in a convenient location.Breakfast basic but adequate."
"The pictures on the website boasts of luxury self-catering units and BnB rooms. From what I saw of the BnB it looked lovely but the family unit we were in was drab, dark, not all the lights worked, old furniture, it was ill-equipped, it was old-fashioned and aged. It definitely wasn't in the pictures but we had to pay the high rate of R1100 a night anyway for this sub-standard place when we expected it to look like the advert."

Early season archery finally returns and with it comes a sweaty brow and pesky bugs to contend with. But if the avid archer did his or her home work by pinpointing key ambush points, travel routes, bedding areas and food sources, it should be a breeze, God willing. So this week on The Revolution with Jim and Trav presented by Outdoor Channel, Sportsman Channel and World Fishing Network, the boys and their elite panel of pros' have prepared a last minute check list to ensure your success. Here's the rundown: Mike Eastman of Eastmans' Hunting TV will set the stage with practical how-to's for taggin' and baggin' trophy public land mule deer. Cinch Brand Manager Jill Gechter will get us outfitted with the latest Cinch hunting apparel and boots that work just as hard as we hunt. Jim Scoutten of Shooting USA will briefly turn our attention to hunting with modern sporting rifles and the many advantages they offer, and finally our very own Mrs. Bunny will keep us consistently hitting the ten ring with DIY tips for tuning your bow and arrows.
It stands to reason that the longer you work at perfecting a particular skill, the better you’ll become at it. This theory holds true for outdoor legend Mike Eastman, a fifth-generation westerner that grew up in the wilderness of Wyoming and has been exploring the backcountry since the age of 14. His years of experience in the woods has made him a skilled and accomplished hunter, widely known for his ability to stalk and harvest trophy-class, western big game. Mike as well as Guy and Ike Eastman appear on Eastmans’ Hunting TV on Outdoor Channel teaching their audience do-it-yourself, fair chase, wilderness backcountry tactics that hunters need to successfully hunt out west. Don’t miss valuable advice from an accomplished pro as Mike joins Jim and Trav and discusses the things hunters need to focus on when they head west to chase mule deer. To begin with, Mike emphasizes the need to follow a few rules, the first of which is to specialize in a particular terrain. He encourages hunters to hunt the same area over and over again, year after year and to keep a notebook and log of the activity, patterns and behavior of the deer. He also recommends spending an adequate amount of time, 2 to 3 days, scouting from a good vantage point with a spotting scope where you can watch and pattern the deer before you set out to stalk one. He also explains why whitetail hunters may blow their opportunity to take a mule deer by trying to get to close. Don’t miss this two-part interview jam packed with tips that are sure to elevate your game this season.
Jim Scoutten of Shooting USA dives headfirst into the world of modern sporting rifles and he dissects the common AR-15 and its older sibling the AR-10. Jim has long since been a champion of the AR platform and he speaks to their convenience, comfort and ease of use. For hunting, Mr. Scoutten says that it's essential to take enough caliber in the woods for a good clean ethical shot. That’s why, in a hunting scenario, he prefers the AR-10 because at a minimum it comes chambered in a .308, which is plenty capable in the hands of a proficient shooter. Another route to take, Jim says, is the Smith & Wesson M&P15 .300 blackout, which is a 30 caliber bullet that fits right into the AR-15 magazine. Of course, the felt recoil of the .300 Blackout will be quite a significant jump from the bigger and heavier AR-10 frame, Jim concludes, and that's something to consider for shooters that tend to be squeamish with kick. Jim Scoutten, is America’s best known shooting sports reporter and firearms expert and for 24 consecutive years, Jim has dedicated himself to unfolding the history of firearms and educating the masses on new innovations, techniques and self-defense.

The Olympics aren't just about athletic achievement and setting world records — they're also about moments that transcend sports.
Georgia, Russian shooters embrace — Following the medal ceremony in the 10-metre air pistol event, bronze medallist Nino Salukvadze of Georgia embraced and kissed silver medal winner Natalia Paderina of Russia, even as their two countries' armies fought back in Georgia.
Salukvadze's and Paderina's act of solidarity came just hours after the entire Georgian Olympic squad had considered withdrawing from the Games in protest at Russia's role in the conflict over South Ossetia.
"That kind of sportsmanship is really remarkable," International Olympic Committee Jacques Rogge said.
Whitfield's triathlon silver a team effort — As a triathlete soldiers his way through a 1.5-kilometre swim, a 40-km bike ride and a 10-km run — especially the 10-km run — often the only sounds he hears are from his burning muscles screaming for him to stop, and from his stubborn pride telling them to shut up.
But in Beijing, Canada showed there's no need to go it alone.
Simon Whitfield of Victoria grabbed the headlines with his electrifying final kick to seize the silver medal in the men's race, but the feat might not have been possible without a little help from his friends.
Colin Jenkins of Hamilton, Ont., eagerly accepted his role as Whitfield's bodyguard, keeping rival swimmers and cyclists at a safe distance from his more heralded teammate. Jenkins occasionally dashed out front of the cycling pack to allow the older Whitfield to take advantage of energy-saving air currents.
Even Paul Tichelaar of Edmonton, who had made it clear before the race that he would not play caddy, chipped in by feeding Whitfield information on the ever-evolving field.
"Our communication was spectacular," Whitfield said.
Afghanistan wins its first-ever Olympic medal — In Rohullah Nikpai's war-torn country, pain and agony is a part of everyday life.
But Nikpai offered the people of his homeland a small ray of hope when he won Afghanistan's first Olympic medal ever.
"I hope this will send a message of peace to my country after 30 years of war," Nikpai said after winning the bronze in the men's under 58-kilogram taekwondo event.
Amputee swimmer makes history — Russia's Larisa Ilchenko won gold in the women's 10-kilometre marathon swim, but it was South Africa's Natalie du Toit who made history as the first amputee swimmer to compete in an Olympic Games.
Du Toit lost her left leg after a road accident in 2001. She competed in the Athens 2004 Paralympic Games, winning five golds and a silver medal. She'd hoped to race in the Olympics that year too, but didn't qualify.
Back then, the open water swim wasn't yet part of the Summer Games, and du Toit lacked the leg power to make the flips and turns at the end of the pool.
When the open water competition joined the Olympic lineup, du Toit was confident she could do it — and earned an Olympic berth with a fourth-place finish at the world championships this year, a mere 5.1 seconds behind Ilchenko.
"I tried my best," said du Toit, who finished 16th. "I'm not too happy with it, but I'll be back for [the] 2012 [London Olympics]."
Finally! A medal for Ian Millar — Just by qualifying for Beijing, Canadian equestrian Ian Millar, 61, secured his ninth Olympic appearance, matching the record for individual athletes. Dating back to the Munich Games in 1972, he has actually qualified for 10 Summer Games, but missed out in 1980 when Canada boycotted Moscow.
Millar endured his share of falls and bangs at all those Olympics, but he also turned in many fine performances. Aboard famed mount Big Ben, he was part of Canadian teams that placed fourth on two occasions —1984 in Los Angeles and 1988 in Seoul.
But still, there was something missing. Apart from an unofficial gold in 1980, when equestrian events for boycotting nations were held in Rotterdam, Millar owned no Olympic hardware.
That finally changed at the Beijing Games when Millar anchored Canada to the silver medal in the team show jumping competition, becoming the oldest Canadian ever to win an Olympic medal.
"[I've ridden on] many fine teams," said Millar. "Real fine, this one."
In some ways, though, it was a bittersweet moment for Millar, who in March lost his wife, Lynn, to cancer.
"I had an angel riding with me, that's all I can say," said a teary Millar after accepting his long-awaited medal.
German love story — Taking the unofficial title of world's strongest man — the men's super heavyweight class (105 kg) — was Germany's Matthias Steiner, who lifted 461 kg in total in a contest that carried as much emotional weight as physical.
The 25-year-old, who was born in Austria, had recently lost his 23-year-old wife, Susann, who was killed in a car accident in July 2007.
Steiner had made her two promises: First, that he would become a German citizen, and second, that he would win a weightlifting gold in Beijing.
He met the first promise in January this year, and followed through with the second by winning his gold medal at the Games.
As soon as he'd won, he kissed a photo of his late wife.
Shewfelt shows spirit of a champion — The defence of his Olympic gymnastics floor title didn't go as he had hoped, but Kyle Shewfelt still feels like a champion.
The Calgarian, who battled back from two broken legs to make it to the Beijing Games and defend the gold medal he won in 2004 in Athens, failed to qualify for the floor final in China.
Though the Shewfelt-led Canadian men's team also fell short of its final, Shewfelt told CBC Sports' Ron MacLean that he was proud of his and the squad's performances, calling them "giant victories."
"The dream came true for me in 2004, but this time around there was something different," Shewfelt said. "There was something special, but on a different level."
Cochrane breaks Canada's medal drought — Teenager Ryan Cochrane won Canada's first Olympic swimming medal since 2000, taking bronze in the 1,500-metre freestyle in Beijing.
Fourth-place finisher Yuriy Prilukov mounted a furious campaign for the bronze over the final few laps, but the Russian was held off at the end by Cochrane.
"I knew that [Prilukov] could catch me because he did in the 400 [freestyle]," Cochrane told CBC Sports. "I knew I just had to give my all."
It was Canada's first Olympic swimming medal since Curtis Myden captured bronze in the 400 individual medley at the 2000 Sydney Games.
The last time Canada won an Olympic medal in the 1,500 free was in 1920, when George Vernot took silver in Antwerp.
Victory follows tragedy for volleyball coach — On the final day of the Games, the United States upset the defending Olympic champions to win men's volleyball gold for the first time in 20 years.
It was an emotional victory for the players and American coach Hugh McCutcheon, who had to cope with the death of his father-in-law just hours after the Olympic opening ceremony.
McCutcheon missed the team's first three games of the tournament because his father-in-law, Todd Bachman, was fatally stabbed and his mother-in-law, Barbara Bachman, was badly wounded while in Beijing. The pair were attacked at a popular tourist site.
During their games, the men wore "TB" and "BB" written on their shoes in honour of the Bachmans.
Chinese table tennis stars put on a show — With China having already clinched all six individual medals in table tennis, teammates Ma Lin and Wang Hao engaged in a battle of wits.
Using a combination of soft pushes and high-speed volleys, Ma scored a minor upset of world No. 1 Wang in the men's singles final.
Ma, seeded second in the tournament, won by scores of 11-9, 11-9, 6-11, 11-7, 11-9 in a tense matchup that showcased China's overwhelming skill in the sport.

We’ve all been shot down for being “too excited” about something, whether it’s anime or Lord of the Rings or comic books, or writing and dance and music and art.
But if it’s important to your friend, it’s important to you too.
You don’t have to get it, but you get them. That’s friendship.
And if your friend stays to the end of a Marvel movie to watch the end credits scene: don’t ever let them go. It’s real.

Here's our selection of the most informative compliance news stories this month - stories about lapses, errors of judgement and downright disregard of laws, regulations and standards of integrity. You'll also find links here to free resources for you to use in your compliance programme. Select the links or scroll down for more details.
How long would it take you to spot a data breach? How soon would it take you to inform the Information Commissioner about it?
Under GDPR, companies have just 72 hours to notify the supervisory authority of data breaches. But it wasn't always like this.
Pre-GDPR, companies took - on average - 60 days to uncover data breaches (with one taking a mind-boggling 1,320 days before realising there was a problem).
Typically, companies might then take around three weeks to notify the ICO.
Some even left it to the end of the week to file their report - surely not damage limitation to avoid negative publicity?
These surprising findings were uncovered by cybersecurity provider Redscan, following a FOI request made to the ICO and analysis of 182 data breach reports.
Mark Nicholls - director of cyber security at Redscan - said, "The fact that so many businesses failed to provide critical details in their initiative reports … says a lot about their ability to pinpoint when attacks occurred and promptly investigate the impact of compromises."
There was some good news though. Financial services and legal services performed slightly better, taking on average 16 and 20 days to report incidents.
For more cybersecurity insights in the financial services sector, check out the FCA's report.
Do your staff know everything they need to about GDPR? Skillcast provides a complete digital training solution for GDPR compliance with a library of 20+ e-learning courses.
There has been an increase of over 80% in the number of modern slavery cases, according to the latest figures released by the National Crime Agency.
From 29 April 2019, the Home Office will become the single competent authority for handling all referrals.
NCA Deputy Director Roy McComb said, "We cannot stop modern slavery alone, we need support and assistance from across the public and private sectors, NGOs and most of all the public themselves."

Countless scandals, including the LIBOR rate-rigging and multiple insider trading cases, illustrate the challenges many companies face in managing unofficial chat platforms - such as WhatsApp, Viber, Signal and WeChat. But the US Department of Justice (DOJ) has offered a concession.
It has amended the FCPA Corporate Enforcement Policy and will now allow companies to use 'ephemeral messaging platforms' on condition that appropriate business records are kept of those communications.
This is something of a double-edged sword for businesses. While it better reflects the reality - that many people use their personal devices for both work and personal use, companies should now review their policies to ensure there are adequate controls in place.
Skillcast offers e-learning module on the Responsible Use of Social Media as a part our Compliance Essentials library.
Hollywood stars Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman are among 50 people charged with paying bribes to secure places for their children at elite US colleges. An FBI investigation - aptly codenamed Operation Varsity Blues - uncovered the $25m admissions scandal in which coaches were bribed to declare the offspring of the wealthy as elite athletes, insiders were paid to ensure entrance exams were passed and - in some cases - people were hired to sit entrance exams for candidates.
Since 2011, William Singer had conspired with parents to get their children into many of the US's prestigious colleges - including Yale, Stanford, Georgetown and the University of Southern California. The scam was uncovered after a tip-off given to investigators who were looking into a securities fraud.
Loughlin has since been dropped by Hallmark Channel and Netflix.
The Financial Conduct Authority has fined Carphone Warehouse £29 million for mis-selling its Geek Squad insurance service.
Over a seven-year period, the firm made £444.7 million from regulated sales of its Geek Squad policies. However, sales staff were not trained to assess customer needs or whether the policy was suitable, often recommending them when customers already had cover. 35% of policies were cancelled in the first three months.
While high cancellation rates are a red flag indicating potential mis-selling, management failed to act or properly investigate complaints.
The investigation took place after whistleblowers raised the alarm. The FCA found the company breached Principles 3, 6 and 9 of the Principles for Businesses.
"Without whistleblowers coming forward these practices may never have come to light", a FCA spokesman confirmed.
Take a look at Skillcast's FCA compliance e-learning library, with over 60 modules covering everything staff in financial services businesses need to know about FCA regulations.
Following concerns about its AML processes, Italy's central bank Banca d'Italia has ordered Dutch lender ING to stop taking on new customers until it improves its client screening programme.
ING was fined €775 million by the Dutch regulator last year for shortcomings in its due diligence processes and for failing to report suspicious or unusual transactions over a six-year period.
Prosecutors have now launched an official investigation in Italy alleging ING did not do enough to prevent financial crime. Existing customers remain unaffected.
Skillcast offers Anti-Money Laundering e-learning courses for UK and Global staff. Take a look here.
The European Union has updated its list of jurisdictions considered non-cooperative for tax purposes, otherwise known as the tax haven blacklist.
Five countries that were originally on the list - the US Virgin Islands, Samoa, Trinidad and Tobago, American Samoa and Guam - have now been joined by ten new names - including Aruba, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Fiji, and the United Arab Emirates.
Countries such as the UAE have expressed 'regret' at the decision and, along with Bermuda, insist they do cooperate with the EU for tax purposes.
Ministers maintain that its purpose is not to 'name and shame' but instead to prevent tax fraud and evasion and to encourage cooperation and positive action. A decision is expected on whether to include beneficial ownership transparency to the current criteria applied to the list.
A similar money laundering blacklist was spiked after objections from the US, Saudi Arabia and Panama.
Over £100 billion of property in England and Wales is owned anonymously, according to analysis by anti-corruption campaigners Global Witness.
Despite promises to create a register of UK property ownership, there has been little progress so far.
Ava Lee, Senior Anti-Corruption Campaigner at Global Witness, said, "It's increasingly clear that UK property is one of the favourite tools of the criminal and corrupt for stashing and laundering stolen cash. This analysis reveals the alarming scale of the UK's secret property scandal".
This is yet another challenge for estate agents who are already under pressure, following HMRC's crackdown on money laundering.
Estate agents Countrywide has been fined £215k for failing to implement proper AML controls and keep adequate records to prevent money laundering.
So far, around 50 estate agents have been visited by HMRC inspectors after a crackdown on money laundering in the property sector, with Tepilo also fined almost £68k.
All estate agents need to register with HMRC and have a legal duty to report suspicious or unusual transactions.
Simon York, Director of HMRC's Fraud Investigation Service, said, "Estate agents need to understand that criminals prey on weaknesses, so it's vital they take all steps to protect themselves. The money laundering regulations are key to that, but there's still a minority of agents who ignore their legal obligations."

Global aluminium producer Norsk Hydro has confirmed that its operations in Europe and the US have been disrupted following a cyberattack.
Norway's National Security Authority reported that Hydro experienced a ransomware attack (thought to be LockerGoga) on Monday night.
Hydro announced it has switched production lines to manual mode so it can keep running 24/7. Its global communications have also been impacted. Aluminium hit a three-month high on the London Metal Exchange following news of the attack.
It's the latest breach affecting commodities. In January, IT correspondence was shut down after an attack on zinc smelter Nyrstar. Oil producers Aramco and Rosneft PJSC have also experienced cyberattacks.
Be clear about the threat - who exactly may target you and why? what is vulnerable?

As the fallout from the €200 billion money laundering scandal continues, Danske Bank has confirmed to shareholders that all its executives would be waiving their bonuses for 2018.
In a 5-hour meeting, shareholders vented their frustration at being dragged into the scandal, with some calling for the bank to be split up and for senior managers to be held personally accountable.
One shareholder - Nanna Bonde - summed up the general mood as follows, "The bank has made a fool out of shareholders, customers and the entire Danish population".
With Danske also facing potential lawsuits from institutional investors, missing out on a yearly bonus could well be the very least of their worries.
For the third time in two years, Google has been fined €1.5 billion by the European Commission for anti-competitive practices.
Prosecutors accused Google of abusing its dominant position (it enjoys more than 90% of the search market) by preventing its rivals placing online adverts on its search results pages.
EC commissioner Margrethe Vestager said, "Google has cemented its dominance in online search adverts and shielded itself from competitive pressure by imposing anti-competitive contractual restrictions on third-party websites. This is illegal under EU anti-trust rules."
This latest fine brings Google's total fines to €9 billion since 2017. However, critics argue that these fines have actually done little to change the tech giant's dominance. Instead, they suggest that behavioural remedies - such as being forced to divest DoubleClick or Waze might have more of an impact.

Rejuvelift™ Before & After Photos Patient 210 | Staten Island, NY | Dr. Louis C. Cutolo, Jr.
This is a 62 year old female who disliked the changes that she was seeing in her face. She felt that she was developing jowls and bands in her neck and thought that she appeared older than she felt. She came to the office for evaluation and recommendations. After a detailed consultation it was decided that a Rejuvelift would address her concerns. The Rejuvelift is Dr Cutolo's trademarked facelifting procedure that elevates the jowls and tightens the neck - all under local anesthesia in the office.
She underwent the procedure without any difficulties and was back to her regular activities within 10 days. She is seen in the post op photos 3 months after the procedure.
She loves her new and refreshed look!

A possible alternative would be to allow Quicksilver to initiate copying the password. Then I wouldn’t even need mini.
Semi-related: Maybe take it easy with the “guard rails”. I had to manually edit my 1Password preferences file so I could use ⌘P to call up 1Password Mini. (I use 1Password Mini multiple times daily, but I print less than once a year. I can just use the menu for printing.) Since you’re preventing the use of some “known” keyboard shortcuts, you obviously know what they’re for. What about warning the user and letting them proceed if it’s something they can live without?
Since you’re preventing the use of some “known” keyboard shortcuts, you obviously know what they’re for. What about warning the user and letting them proceed if it’s something they can live without?
Can you be more specific? Do you maybe mean Secure Input is preventing some keyboard shortcuts from being used? We use this macOS feature to prevent other apps from harvesting your data as you use 1Password. Or do you just mean that you have other apps which are conflicting with 1Password's keyboard shortcuts? In either case, it isn't something we have control over, but let me know if you mean something else.
We can consider adding additional keyboard shortcuts, but they could also conflict with other software. And changing existing shortcuts is more problematic, as people who have been using 1Password for year (or more than a decade) are accustomed to how things are setup now. Not sure if by ↩ you meant a CR (carriage return ↵), but since that's used pretty broadly I don't know if it's a good idea to have 1Password try to bind that to Copy in 1Password mini, since it has other uses. Any changes we make to keybindings won't happen overnight without a significant reason (e.g. "Quit 1Password and 1Password mini" is now ⌘ ⌥ ⌃ Q to accommodate High Sierra using ⌘ ⌃ Q to lock the screen), but we're always happy to consider suggestions.
Not sure if by ↩ you meant a CR (carriage return ↵), but since that's used pretty broadly I don't know if it's a good idea to have 1Password try to bind that to Copy in 1Password mini, since it has other uses.
Yes, I mean the Return key. It has different uses in different contexts, of course. I’m only suggesting it change in one of those contexts where it’s already got some special “non-standard” behavior in 1Password mini: It dismisses the mini window, opens the site, and attempts to fill the login form. I’m suggesting there could be a preference that would make it “Copy Password” instead of “Go & Fill” when you select an item and hit Return.
@Skurfer: Hmm. I'm not sure that would be a good idea. ⌘ P is used in nearly every app for printing. Certainly I can see the appeal of using it (or ⌘ 1 !) for 1Password, but that would cause a lot of confusion and trouble, as 1Password tries to use these shortcuts system-wide. I have no doubt that you'd be okay with ignoring the warning and proceeding anyway, but a lot of people would do the same...and then be super confused later on when they forgot and couldn't print.

I’m only suggesting it change in one of those contexts where it’s already got some special “non-standard” behavior in 1Password mini: It dismisses the mini window, opens the site, and attempts to fill the login form. I’m suggesting there could be a preference that would make it “Copy Password” instead of “Go & Fill” when you select an item and hit Return. Thanks, again.
Gotcha. That makes sense, insofar as I could see the appeal. It's something we'll consider, as far as customizability. But again, we do try to be careful about what we do, as it impacts all 1Password users. And I'm not sure we want to encourage people to copy to clipboard more, in this example at least. Anything on the system can see that, and one of the great things about the browser extension is being able to bypass the clipboard: it's not only more secure, it saves a step (paste). Food for thought.

That’s all I can ask. Thanks.

@Skurfer : having multiple things assigned to the same keyboard shortcut isn't recommended in macOS as the OS can't necessarily figure out which is the right one to trigger. cmd-p is being disallowed in that case because our own "Print" menu item has that shortcut already. You could edit ours using System Preferences as it allows remapping menu item shortcuts in any app, in which case 1Password would probably allow you to then choose cmd-P as the shortcut you're looking to use. But that's not likely to work in practice as the moment you switch away from 1Password, the odds are that you'll switch to another app that has cmd-P configured for their own Print menu item.
Regarding the return key to copy the password in 1Password mini. This should be possible already. I'm able to do it here by bringing up 1Password mini, finding the item whose password I want, hitting the right arrow which brings up the details view and shows that the password field has focus. At this point if I hit return, it shows the 'copy' button next to the password field as getting highlighted and the password is copied to my clipboard, dismissing 1Password. Are you trying to avoid that extra right-arrow keypress, or were you not aware of this feature?
cmd-p is being disallowed in that case because our own "Print" menu item has that shortcut already.
Yeah, but if you want to print, you can still do it using the mouse by selecting the Print menu item manually. This is true for every application. Like I said, I print less than once per year, but I call up 1Password mini multiple times per day, so I can live with the drawbacks associated with overriding a system shortcut.
Are you trying to avoid that extra right-arrow keypress, or were you not aware of this feature?
Thanks for pointing that out. I’m not sure if → ↩ is easier than ⇧⌘C, but it’s nice to have options. Of course skipping right-arrow would be ideal. Or another possibility: Let / descend into the item in addition to right-arrow like Quicksilver does. It’s easier to reach (and some of us have years of muscle memory for that).
Hrmm... Apparently I was wrong in what I said. I thought System Preferences could only re-assign the keyboard shortcuts for a single app, but it looks like you can mass-change the Print menu item to use something else than cmd-p. That should free up cmd-p for you within 1Password.

Oh, cool. I thought 1Password was operating from a fixed list of known shortcuts. Nice to see that it’s checking the system in real-time. I’ve got ⌘P bringing up the mini window now without weird hacks. Thanks!
Glad that helped! I'm not sure we want to make that the default, but macOS itself does allow a lot of customizability in that regard. Cheers!
+1 for an option to make the default action on 1p mini "copy password" instead of "open and fill". I also use 1p to store passwords for many systems other than website passwords (servers, encrypted files, etc).
Thanks for the great app - use it dozens of times a day.
Thanks for weighing in, @amcclain, and especially for the kind words! It's something we're always keeping in mind as we assess the changing landscape of how users interact with and use 1Password.

A “Boycott NutriAsia” campaign has gained traction in social media, while contractual workers of the condiment giant maintain their picket line in Marilao despite a violent dispersal attempt on June 14. Four workers were arrested and dozens more were injured as local police claimed to be implementing a temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by a Bulacan court against the picket protest.
NutriAsia’s contractual workers set up their picket line on June 2, after management fired around 50 workers, including union leaders, and refused to implement a February 23 DOLE ruling which ordered the company to regularize 80 workers who were employed through an illegal LOC scheme. Workers also complained of unauthorized salary deductions and unsafe working conditions, reporting that NutriAsia failed to comply with laws governing occupational safety and health (OSH) standards.

There are many opportunities to inform and teach students about the importance of rules and laws, for example in learning to play team games and in PE lessons.
Many classes draw up their own class rules at the start of the academic year as a contract, and the school as a whole has a set of expectations which form the basis of our whole school behaviour policy. These are regularly reinforced in the classroom and during assemblies.
We have a close relationship with the local police force support officers, who support with the delivery of key topics such as anti-social behaviour and stranger danger.
Yesterday we had a police dog handler and a PCSO at school who told us all about the police, what they do and why their jobs are so important. They brought two dogs in; one sniffer dog and the other a chasing dog. The sniffer dog found its toy in a box. Then he let us look in his car and he turned on the sirens and made them do different sounds with a pad on the dashboard. All of the classes got to have a go!

Network Security Lab, University of Washington, Seattle has begun work on a wireless interference (jamming) model for ns3. The goal is to to enable researchers to use ns3 to study jamming and its mitigation methods. Project description is available at: http://www.nsnam.org/wiki/index.php/NS-3_wireless_jamming_model The ns-3 Wireless Interference (Jamming) Framework utilizes the ns-3 Energy Framework (officially included in ns-3.9 and onwards). There are 4 major components for this model: 1. Jammer: Adversary devices sending jamming signal (interference) in the hope to disrupt target wireless network. Different jammer classes represent different jamming strategies (random, constant, eavesdropper, reactive) 2. Jamming Mitigation: Strategies for honest (regular) network nodes to mitigate jamming. 3. Wireless Module Utility: Utility class for interfacing Jammer and Jamming Mitigation classes to PHY layer. This class abstracts the PHY layer so that the same Jammer or Jamming Mitigation class can operate on different wireless PHY without any modification. 4. PHY layer driver (NslWifiPhy): A modification from YansWifiPhy. To show how to integrate the above classes with a wireless PHY implementation. The jamming model is in active development, comments and suggestions are appreciated. This patch is based on the latest ns-3-dev tree. To use the jamming framework, apply only the latest patch to ns-3-dev.

Eventually everything wears out, including roofs, but with a little bit of preventative maintenance you can ward off that day. As a roof contractor in Cambridge, we see a lot of roofing problems that could have been prevented with routine maintenance and care. To help our readers take care of their own roofs, we have put together this list of 6 tips to protect your roof.
Curled, Missing, Or Damaged Shingles. All of these conditions can let water under the shingles and into the home. Prevent leaks by taking time to replace damaged shingles before the problem becomes too large. Shingle replacement is a simple and inexpensive repair, compared to repairing water damaged rafters, ceilings, drywall, and flooring.
Mold, Mildew, Or Fungus. Sometimes roofs in damp climates or those that sit in the shade all day can start to grow mold, mildew or fungus. These microorganisms can eat away at shingles and make it easier for the elements to get into the home. There are treatments available that can be applied to the shingles to help prevent this growth. Contact a roof contractor in Cambridge for an evaluation and advice.
Check The Flashings. Flashing is where the roof meets an edge. It could be a wall, a window, the chimney or a vent pipe. Flashing is very important in preventing water from getting under the shingles. Look for worn, broken, or rusted flashing or worn caulking around it. Repair or replace any damaged pieces.
Looks For Cracks In Mortar And Caulking. Two more water barriers are mortar and caulking. Check the caulk around windows and joints and the mortar around chimneys to make sure it is solid. Even small cracks can let water in. The freeze-thaw cycle here in Massachusetts can turn a hairline crack into a much larger crack over time, which can let water into the home and destabilize the chimney in severe cases.
OverhangingTrees. Overhanging trees can damage shingles if they hit them in the wind or fall onto the roof during storms. Trim back any branches that could fall onto the roof or snag shingles with a heavy gust of wind. This will also help keep pests like squirrels and raccoons off the roof.
Pooling Water. Heavily sloped roofs do not usually have this problem but flat roofs could have problems with water pooling. While not always indicative of a problem, any water that sits on the roof could cause roofing materials to deteriorate, form ice if the weather is cold enough, or cause fungus to grow. Ideally, roofs, even flat roofs, should drain water. If yours is not draining, there is a problem.
If you are not comfortable conducting your own inspection, cannot see your entire roof, or notice an area of concern, contact The Roofman at 519-744-3830 for a roofing inspection and assessment. We provide unbiased, thorough inspections that will give you a clear idea of the condition of your roof.

As a driver, you now must keep your vehicle filled with petrol. Now, that can get expensive. Luckily, you can prevent yourself from using up too much fuel while on the road. If you’re ready to leave behind your life of wasted fuel, then read on how you can change your ways.
As the saying goes: “take care of your car, and it will take care of you”. Making sure that gunk isn’t building up in the carburettor and taking your vehicle to get tuned up regularly. Also, don’t forget to make sure that your car’s tyre pressure is met.
After all, a poorly maintained vehicle uses up more fuel to run it. So it’s best to prevent that by following your car’s manual and taking good care of your vehicle.
Those who recently bought their car, or are fond of driving it around may be guilty of making too many short trips in their car. Whether it’s picking up a loved one from work, or grocery shopping, they find that driving makes them happy and helping their loved ones also makes them happy.
However, these several short trips a day are not making their car happy. That’s because parking and starting your vehicle several times can use up a lot of petrol and driving around without warming up your engine beforehand can cause damage.
So, if you need to run an errand, make sure that you will do everything you need so that it will only use up one trip. Your wallet and your car will thank you later.
Accelerate smoothly. A common mistake drivers make is jumping on the accelerator as soon as the green light comes on, and immediately hit the brakes. Doing this eats up more fuel. Instead, step on the accelerator and take off your foot gradually to come to a stop, instead of using the brakes.
Roll up windows. Aerodynamics play a role here. Leaving your windows up while driving down the highway will turn your car into sort of a parachute, creating wind resistance. As a result, your vehicle will eat up more fuel to maintain speed.
Get rid of roof carriers and accessories. If you liked camping and decided to get a roof carrier for your vehicle, you might want to consider taking it off when you’re just driving to and from work.
The same goes for large accessories in your car like country flags waving in the back. These create drag, and like the rolled down windows in the highway, more petrol will be needed to keep you going.
Rush hour traffic gets bad; that’s why you should avoid driving during rush hour and, instead, drive at times where there is less traffic. Your vehicle will use up less fuel, and you can save some money along the way.
The more weight your car pulls, the more fuel it uses up to get the job done. So, if you’re the type who likes to keep emergency items in his car, or you just forget to take things out of the trunk in general, you might want to consider cleaning out your car and getting rid of all the extra weight that comes with it.
That means taking out your gym bag with your dirty laundry, any sports equipment that you don’t use daily, and garbage that has accumulated over time. The weight loss will help your car drive more smoothly on the road.
Get ready to learn and apply these fuel-saving tips. You’ll find your car driving smoother, and never have to worry about your fuel costs becoming too much for your budget.

We enjoyed our stay here, close to the beach, great water views and close to Bridge Street. The home was comfortable and clean. We would definitely stay here again.
Thank you for the kind words about Sideways! We’re happy you enjoyed your stay, as well as, the location and the beautiful water views. Glad to hear it was comfortable and clean for your stay! We hope to have you back again!
This house is so well maintained and it was evident that a great deal of thought was put into the amenities. The main living area is perfect for two couples. The lower level with the pool and covered patio offered great features. The storage area with the extra fridge and powder room off the pool was so convenient! The location within a short walk to the beach and the view of the bay was amazing. The “crows nest” was the best spot for a beautiful sunrise. The location to other areas of the island was convenient, as well as, Cortez and Longboat Key. We loved it and hope to stay tow weeks next time!
Thank you for the 5 star review of Sideways! We’re glad you enjoyed the amenities, the outdoor and storage area, and the location being near the beach and other cities in the area. We’re happy you enjoyed your stay and we can’t wait to have you back!
This house was so perfect! Very comfortable and immaculate upon checking in. Loved the location…loved everything about this house! Will be renting this house again for our next trip for sure!!
Thank you for the awesome review of Sideways! We’re so glad it worked well for you and it was a good location. We look forward to having you back!
