23 points. 22 rebounds. 6 blocks. 4 assists. 1 steal. Dwight Howard.
well-deserved, too. earlier this month, i wanted to give chris bosh three LOTNs in a week, but the raptors lost each game, despite his 40-point efforts.

NEW Alex signings George Abbey and Ryan Lynch look set to line up against a strong Derby County side at Gresty Road tonight.
The full-backs both penned one-year deals with Crewe yesterday, and are now in the frame to face the Premiership new boys (7.45pm).
Technical director Dario Gradi said: 'I expect both will be involved against Derby. Ryan has been here on trial for a few weeks and has stood the test well. He is a good footballer and has a presence.
Nigerian international right-back Abbey, 28, and left-back Lynch, 20, both arrive on free transfers after being released by Port Vale and Coventry City respectively.
Gradi is likely to give many of his squad a chance to impress tonight.
He was also keen to dispel rumours that the Rams are going to field a second-string side.
He said: 'I've spoken to Billy Davies and they are bringing plenty of senior players and it should be a very testing game for us.
'It is realistic opposition for us. We played in the same league as Derby only a year-or-so ago and we could beat them.
First team coach Steve Holland will take total charge of Saturday's visit of the Hatters (3pm), as Gradi will instead travel to run the rule over opening day opponents Brighton at Chester.
Meanwhile, left midfield man David Vaughan is a doubt for the start of the season. The Welsh international is suffering similar symptoms to those he experienced before undergoing surgery to correct a groin problem.
He is unlikely to figure in either of the clashes with Derby or Stock-port, and may not be considered for the Brighton opener on August 11.
Tom Pope (groin) and Michael O'Connor (hernia) are certain to miss the first game, but Danny Woodards (hamstring) and Ben Williams (dead leg) should be fit.
* Make sure you get next week's Chronicle for a big poster of the Crewe Alex squad for 2007/08, and your chance to win the brand new home shirt.

Ian McCulloch was an English singer-songwriter and musician who rose to prominence as the big-mouthed frontman of Echo & the Bunnymen. His strong on-stage presence and unique songwriting skills made Bunnymen one of the most popular pop bands throughout the ’80s. McCulloch left the group in 1988 to start a fairly successful solo career.
Born Ian Stephen McCullochin Liverpool, England in 1959, he had a difficult childhood. His father was an alcoholic who gambled and often became violent with the children in the home. McCulloch attended Alsop High School in Walton, Liverpool.
Ian McCulloch started his musical career in the late ’70s as lead singer of the Crucial Three, which also featured Pete Wylie and Julian Cope. The band, however, lasted only a month. After working in several bands, McCulloch formed Echo & the Bunnymen in 1978. The band included Will Sergeant on guitar and Les Pattinson on bass. Echo & the Bunnymen went on to become one of the most prominent British pop bands throughout the ’80s.
McCulloch abandoned the band in 1988 to embark on a solo career. His debut solo album, Candleland (1990), peaked at number 18 in the UK Albums Chart and spawned two hits singles; namely “Proud To Fall” and “Faith and Healing”. During the early ’90s, he became a notorious recluse who rarely made public appearances and refused to give interviews.
In 1994, McCulloch buried his differences with Sergeant and the duo reunited under the name Electrafixion. Their 1995 album Burned peaked at number 38 in the UK. Echo & the Bunnymen reformed in 1997. Thier critically acclaimed album Evergreen reached number 8 on the UK Albums Chart and stayed on the chart for seven weeks. In 2003, McCulloch released his third solo album Slideling and went on a tour to support the album.
Ian McCulloch has won several awards and accolades as a member of Echo & the Bunnymen, including 2 NME Awards, and a Q Award.
Ian McCulloch married in 1983. They have two daughters, Candy and Mimi. The marriage ended in a divorce in 2003.

GE 33 inch 24.9 cu.ft.. Bottom Mount Refrigerator with Ice Maker in stainless steel GDE25ESKSS is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 84.
A place for everything, and everything in its place. That's this GE Energy Star refrigerator in a nutshell. Sporting a roomy 24.9 cu. ft. capacity, it features a bottom-freezer design that keeps all your go-to foods conveniently at eye level. The handy array of bins, shelves, and drawers are all lit up for easy visibility thanks to high-efficiency Ramp up LED lighting.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cpet from Major improvement! I've had and loved this refrigerator for several months now. The pros are: great temperature management keeping foods at an adjustable 35 to 40 degrees (measured with thermometers), turbo cooling feature is great when bringing in fresh groceries, excellent filtered ice production, hugh upper cabinet, new interest in cooking since foods are at eye level (NO MORE STANDING ON MY HEAD TO DIG OUT FOODS!). My only 2 complaints are: finger prints on the face and the door seems to catch right before it closes (I understand why a door alarm is included). I would have paid more for no fingerprints. All in all I would definitely buy this again.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kaate from So far, so good I got this refrigerator in March 2017 through my home warranty when my other refrigerator "died". It is roomy and keeps my food cold. I'm not a huge fan of the freezer drawer, but I do like the refrigerator on top. The only other thing I don't like about it so far is that the ice maker is LOUD! I try not to use ice from the ice maker in the evening to avoid triggering it to kick on and make more ice because I don't want it to wake me up during the night. I live in a small condo so there is no place to get away from the noise and I'm a light sleeper.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Eric TT from Noisy compressor and frequent cycling Bought Dec, 20 2018. It ran fine for 1st month and now the compressor kicks in less than every 2 hour (something like 1 hour 30 min) and it runs for 40 mins. (The temperature were set at 37 and 0 as default) The motor has high pitch sound that drive us insane. Other than it has big capacity which is great and stainless finish – but it is a lemon for sure. It is worse than our previous 25 years old refrigerator made by Whirlpool. Should have kept using that good old one :( Highly "NOT Recommended "
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mcb99d from Sleek look, plenty of space. After the first fridge not working and the second damaged during delivery, we finally received what we ordered. Great look, excellent flexibility for refrigerator storage. The freezer was a little difficult getting used to, but does have a good amount of storage space. The ice machine would not shut off and stop making ice at first. After turning it off manually and then back on, it stops making ice as it should. Taking out the ice tray is cumbersome if you have the top shelf full. You have to move items out of the way, but I rarely need to take out the tray. All and all, it’s a great unit.
Rated 4 out of 5 by mamajuju from It's big. Good price. Like GE products. I've only had it 5 days but I'm happy with it. It's quiet. The top refrigeration part is big and I LOVE that items are now eye level. I'm told that GE parts are widely available in the USA unlike some of the other popular brand refrigerators. I'm going to give this a 4 star for two reasons: First because the plastic drawers don't seem to be as sturdy/solid/thick as my 27 year old GE fridge that I replaced so I hope they don't ever crack or chip, and second, because I couldn't fit everything in the freezer that came out of my 27 year old 21.7 cu ft GE top freezer appliance (that is still going strong). It's sleek looking without the outside ice/water dispenser which I didn't want because it would take up inside room and I wanted to avoid something that would most likely need eventual servicing.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Low Branch from Longevity and Quiet unit My parents bought a GE unit in 1962 (54 years) on their wedding day. I hope to get at least half that many years out of this unit. Our old unit (not a GE) moaned and groaned day and night. This GE unit is quite and much more spacious and 1 cubic foot smaller. Ice maker produces a good ice cube that last longer than our previous ice cubes in our Orca cups. Had to scotch the wheels to keep the unit from rolling when pull on the door to open. Only had one week but so far so good.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ML1987 from Love our new fridge This is the first time I've ever made a large appliance purchase and I'm SO happy with this product. Having a family of four means we need plenty of room and easy, high quality function. This refrigerator offers a large amount of room in both the fridge and the freezer. Because of the spacing of our kitchen, this was the only style that would really work for us, and ideally we wanted the bottom mount freezer. We have had it a week and couldn't be happier!

TORONTO, ON (May 18, 2015) – Cancer research leaders at the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research, Oregon Health & Science University, Sage Bionetworks, the distributed DREAM (Dialog for Reverse Engineering Assessment and Methods) community and The University of California Santa Cruz published the first findings of the ICGC-TCGA-DREAM Somatic Mutation Calling (SMC) Challenge (The Challenge: https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn312572) today in the journal Nature Methods. These results provide an important new benchmark for researchers, helping to define the most accurate methods for identifying somatic mutations in cancer genomes. The results could be the first step in creating a new global standard to determine how well cancer mutations are detected.
The Challenge, which was initiated in November 2013, was an open call to the research community to address the need for accurate methods to identify cancerassociated mutations from whole-genome sequencing data. Although genomic sequencing of tumour genomes is exploding, the mutations identified in a given genome can differ by up to 50 per cent just based on how the data is analyzed.
Research teams were asked to analyze three in silico (computer simulated) tumour samples and publicly share their methods. The 248 separate analyses were contributed by teams around the world and then analyzed and compared by Challenge organizers. When combined, the analyses provide a new ensemble algorithm that outperforms any single algorithm used in genomic data analysis to date.
The authors of the paper also report a computational method, BAMSurgeon (developed by co-lead author Adam Ewing, a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. David Haussler at UC Santa Cruz), capable of producing an accurate simulation of a tumour genome. In contrast to tumour genomes from real tissue samples, the Challenge organizers had complete knowledge of all mutations within the simulated tumour genomes, allowing comprehensive assessment of the mistakes made by all submitted methods, as well as their accuracy in identifying the known mutations.
The submitted methods displayed dramatic differences in accuracy, with many achieving less than 80 per cent accuracy and some methods achieving above 90 per cent. Perhaps more surprisingly, 25 per cent of teams were able to improve their performance by at least 20 per cent just by optimizing the parameters on their existing algorithms. This suggests that differences in how existing approaches are applied are critically important – perhaps more so than the choice of the method itself.
The group also demonstrated that false positives (mutations that were predicted but didn’t actually exist) were not randomly distributed in the genome but instead they were in very specific locations, and, importantly, the errors actually closely resemble mutation patterns previously believed to represent real biological signals.

Richard Booth’s Bookshop was opened in 1961 in Hay-on-Wye by Richard Booth a young graduate. Over the years it has grown to become Europe’s largest secondhand bookshop.
I was commissioned to produce an appropriate colour scheme for the exterior of the main shop. My company Papers and Paints has supplied the paint, which was specially mixed for the project.

After a day working in the garden I relaxed into a chair and looked up to see this beautiful view of bare branches from under our plum tree. Very October.
Like spring cleaning in March, October is the time for a final winter clean of the garden. Grass cut, hedge trimmed, bay tree re shaped, overgrown hyacinth hacked back, and leaves racked.
Drawn with a black finliner, 03mm it needs no colour.

I had a girlfriend visiting and we thought it would be nice to get away and spend some time – just the two of us. We knew we only had a few hours to hit the wineries and we wanted to hit a few places off the beaten path. It was sprinkling but the weather was actually pleasant and not windy or cold.
Formerly the Inglenook Winery and Neibaum Coppola, Rubicon is one of the most beautiful historic wineries in the Napa Valley. I know I’ve included this one before but this time we skipped the tour and just did the Coppola Tasting. How did I not know about this before? You’re ushered into a very posh private area and are assigned to your own table (ask for one of the bench seats). A server brings you an array of wines to taste and they are paired with local cheeses and bread. It was a very relaxing and comfortable way to taste Rubicon’s high end wines. Before we knew it we’d been there almost two hours and we had to dash off to the next place. We left with several bottles and it was well worth the $50 tasting fee.
We planned to go to lunch but were full from stuffing ourselves with cheese and bread – and we were pushed for time – so we headed to Pina a bit early. This place is tiny…and by tiny I mean the bar you taste at can only fit about 3 people. It’s a small, locally owned and operated winery that features some of my favorite red wines. The tasting room is in the middle of their actual operations inside the winery. Their family history is truly amazing and they have been here since the mid 1800′s. If you want to see what it’s really like behind closed doors – head here. An unexpected surprise was their delightful Chardonnay that I didn’t even know they offered! Pina is so small that it’s by appointment only, but they are really accommodating if you just call a few minutes ahead and they aren’t too busy.
Our last stop of the day was at Frog’s Leap. Their patio is available year round and it overlooks their garden and vineyards. A spectacular view, it’s a great stop to sit outside with a good friend and relax. Their staff is friendly but unobtrusive – only interrupting for some friendly chatting or to bring your next taste of wine. They were also very flexible with our requests to switch out certain wines on our tasting list to others they had open. It was a perfect ending to our day. Tasting fees are $20 per person.
A quick day – but still a perfect one in the Napa Valley.

It's Christmas morning/the first night of Hanukkah/your birthday, and the sound of tearing wrapping paper fills the air. Will the gift from your loved one be the pair of earrings from Loulerie you've been longing for? Maybe some velvet loafers, the sort you're sure will keep you dancing 'til dawn on New Year's Eve? Or - dare we dream - a Gucci handbag?
Nope. It's an oversized novelty jumper. Or a pair of Crocs (not even the Christopher Kane kind). Or a hot water bottle (reader, this happened… there may have been tears).
We've all been there. For many women, suppressing initial dislike and adjusting our faces to show delight has become all too routine. Far be it from us to blame the gifters - fizzled presents are rarely the fault of the people who invest time in choosing them. It's much more positive to view disappointing gifts as an inevitable function of our own sophisticated, opinionated, specific personal tastes.
So what to do? Luckily, those same pernickety personal tastes that make us difficult to shop for tend to mean we have heads (and wish lists) full of more appealing alternatives. If the returns route doesn't seem viable, there's reselling.
Vestiaire Collective, Rebelle, Vinted, Buy My Wardrobe and a full complement of resale sites, including original online marketplace eBay, have emerged as elegant solutions to the question of what to do with unwanted gifts. "It's a really good way of not hurting anybody's feelings but making a bit of cash as well," says Rebelle manager Virginia Feacey.
Just follow these simple guidelines to make your reselling experience a snap.
Take a week, or however long you require to pack up your tree ornaments and clear your house of family members. But then get down to business.
"There's no point in keeping something you don't like," says Anna Berkeley, the personal stylist and womenswear buyer who specialises in streamlining clients' wardrobes.
The women who retain her services may genuinely think that the tiered skater dress they're holding onto with respect to Aunt Maureen's feelings will grow more appealing with time, but it never does.
"That's just guilt. Some people need permission to get rid of things. I'm here to give that to them," she says.
High season for holiday-gift reselling falls around January 10, or the front end of the first full work-week of the new year, says Fanny Moizant, one of the founders of luxury resale site Vestiaire Collective. The site registered a 47pc increase in new sellers in January 2016 as compared to December 2015. "January is a dry month in terms of alcohol, as well as in terms of money. It's a great time to recycle," she says.
Resist the urge to recycle all that tissue paper and packaging for something you're not even planning to keep. Resale insiders agree that the closer to new the product appears, the higher the price you'll be able to achieve.
"Ideally, the best way to sell a product is with all the accessories: the tag, the box, the dust bag for shoes and bags - it's always better to have full packaging," Moizant says.
At the tippy-top of the luxury spectrum, in-demand items (like Hermès and Chanel handbags, not that you'd care to part with one of those) can achieve close to retail price.
"The better the condition of the item, the better the pricing," says Feacey, whose Rebelle site invites sellers to part with luxury designer pieces and the upper end of the high street.
If the thought of a family member stumbling on your eBay listing for their gift makes you ill, now is a good time to establish pseudonymous accounts with your resale sites of choice.
Most sites don't require real names - just a valid end-user email address for contact. Berkeley, the stylist, maintains several accounts, but also advocates dispensing of unwanted fashion goods in local consignment shops, so it's "completely faceless".
Then again, "For someone to spot something would be incredible. They'd almost have to be looking for it."
Sasha Wilkins, founder of the LibertyLondonGirl blog, confesses to having slagged off a family member's present on Twitter and then posted it on eBay.
"Don't do that. They will find out," she says. Instead, she's a fan of a gentler form of honesty. "I've told them: 'Oh, it is so lovely, but I actually already have one. It's not refundable? Why, then let me eBay it and let you know what I buy with the money instead.'" It's a guilt-free way of getting what you want.
Just as in the case of the colleague who was shocked and delighted to find someone wanted to pay ¤150 for her unused food dehydrator, the silver lining to an unloved gift is that someone else may love it very much indeed, even if you don't.
"The items you don't like, someone else might be dreaming of, for a slightly better price," Feacey says.
Berkeley agrees: "That gift that you shove to the back of the wardrobe out of guilt - not only can you get money for it, but someone else might enjoy it."
Reselling it online, then, can be your contribution to the broader happiness of the fashion-consuming world.
What's more in line with the holiday spirit than that?

The first records made by humans could be found on the walls and ceilings of caves and mostly depict animals and other figures that only the makers could understand. Since that moment, record-keeping had evolved to the point where there is actually no need for papers in the process. The fact that early humans are already recording however, seem to indicate the importance of records, and this is the reason why there is such a thing called the Contra Costa County Public Records where the most important public records related to events that happened in the county of Contra Costa are kept and secured.
Records are kept and they are made public because they are of such immense value to the public. These records are primarily used to identify, but there are other uses for it. Although birth certificates, death certificates, and marriage certificates are considered to be the more important of public documents, there are other types that range from court records to registry of properties. The records that correspond to these are generally located within the archive and searching for them could be classified under two general labels, those being state level and county level.
At the state level, the government office concerned would be the California Department of Public Health. This state-level department has copies of birth, death, and marriage certificates since the year 1901 and informational copies of the same are available. Authroized copies may be had if the searcher is one of those that fall under the exclusive list of people who are allowed to have them.
In order to request for the records at the state level, the searcher must first download the appropriate from corresponding to the requested record from the website of the state office. Once the records had been completely filled up, the searcher would have to send the same to the Department together with a money order corresponding to the required fee and a notarized sworn statement if the same is required by the type of copy requested. The fees range from twenty five dollars for birth certificates to fourteen dollars for dissolution of marriage certificates.
At the county level, the office concerned would be the Office of the Clerk-Recorder. The records within this office is limited only to those that had happened within the county, but unlike the state level, the clerk-recorder also has copies of court records and property records. The search here is also faster because there are not as many records that have to be looked into.
To start a search at the local level, the searcher must also download the applicable request form from the office of the clerk-recorder website. As with the state level search, the form must be completed and sent to the office of the clerk-recorder together with a money order payable to the clerk to correspond with the required fee plus a notarized sworn statement. Note that there is a blank sworn statement attached to the application form. As for the fees, the application for a copy of a birth certificate is at thirty two dollars and the cheapest is the application for a marriage license at nineteen dollars.
Another method of searching for the records would be to use online resources in the form of online databases. There are a number of databases that would serve this need as most of these databases provide the same information as the ones that could be delivered upon request. The advantage is that these databases often do not charge to show the information though they could not deliver the same. These databases are also easier to use and they are done using the internet so they are faster, more efficient, and they do not require the searcher to leave the comforts of his home in order to conduct the search.
Visit the Website of the Clerk-Recorder and download the proper form from those given.
Once the form had been downloaded, fill up the same. Note that there is a blank sworn statement attached to the document, this may have to be filled up depending on the document being requested.
Check the fees that you must pay in accordance with the Schedule of Fees as provided for by the office.
Send the application form together with a money order payable to the clerk and a self-addressed stamped envelope to the office of the clerk-recorder.

What type of Hearing Protection is best for you?
Anglian Hearing Healthcare offers all types of custom moulded protection. From sophisticated in-ear monitoring systems, electronic active noise cancelling hearing protection, passive musician’s protection, to those needed in vocational environments with hazardous noise, motorsport, and the many leisure activities with loud sounds, even those to help you sleep. In short all types of protection for any situation that could harm our hearing or impede on a peaceful night. If we do not have what you need, let us know your requirements and along with our manufacturing colleagues we will develop it.
How do you know what level of protection you are actually getting?
Whilst hearing protection of various types are readily available, once supplied how do you know it actually fits correctly or the amount of protection it provides? Anglian Hearing Healthcare in partnership with HearingCoach UK provides an unrivalled service that ensures the performance of your protection. With some designs of protection we are able to offer regular checks that demonstrate the investment you made in your hearing protection continues to adequately defend against hearing damage.
With the increasing levels of noise we are exposed to we must implement more effective measures to prevent damage to our hearing.
At Anglian Hearing Healthcare we provide solutions for all your protective needs. If you are playing in a band and require In-Ear Monitoring then we offer a range of solutions, from a basic single driver device to the most advanced system with six masterfully tuned balanced armature drivers in each earphone providing a multistage crossover. The end result of which is unrivaled sonic purity.
Alternatively ‘Musician Earplugs’ (MEPs) are the answer for people who are not so much looking for in-ear monitoring as for passive hearing protection. The flat attenuation permits listening to music at a safe level. The earpieces are custom made, manufactured from a range of comfortable materials, and offered in a choice noise reduction filters that can be chosen so appropriate but not excessive levels of sound are reduced. Musician Earpieces are a good choice in hearing protectors for musicians, both on stage and during rehearsals, as well as for concertgoers. There is the option to expand the MEPs with in-ear driver upgrade.
All custom moulded systems be it passive protection or advanced IEMs can be customised with your own choice of colour. The IEMs can be individualised with custom art or choose to have laser etched with your own logo.
The Microcom system is a generic, low-profile boom mike system specifically designed for applications where the user may be exposed to high noise levels but must be able to use head protection in complete comfort.It is a full or half duplex communication system, depending on the application, which standard is supplied with profiled eartips. Optional is custom made with a soft flexible eartip to assure wearing comfort and to achieve an optimal attenuation.
Participating in motor sports, custom molded Race InEars are the perfect solution to the problems of a noise filled racing environment. Our racing molds are used by drivers in a variety of motorsports who demand the best in high-fidelity communications when competing in today’s strenuous race course conditions.
De racing moulds are very comfortable, even when wearing under a helmet. A universal miniature speaker will be placed in a custom made earpiece. Available with different kind of racing plugs.
Because a good fit determines wearing comfort and the frequency of wearing hearing protectors, the Variphone is fully custom made. This hearing protector offers a host of features! The continuously adjustable valve allows for attenuation to be set so that the noise level is reduced to just below the safe threshold. The Variphone’s unique 2-canal design allows for quick, efficient quality checks to be carried out and repeated at regular intervals. It can be adjusted to compensate for general noise pollution. The Variphone range are the Gold Standard in workplace protection.
The Variphone Soft is a new generation of hearing protection. The Variphone Soft is unique because it is the first and only fully custom made silicone hearing protection product that has a 2-canal filter module. This filter module makes light work of testing the hearing protector for functionality (leaktight test). The hearing protector has modular components and, thanks to the click-in unit with adjustable filter, attenuation can be very finely tuned. In practice that means that communication is maintained while alarms and warnings can still be heard. This hearing protector is suitable for workers who want revolutionary, durable and high quality hearing protection manufactured from a soft material. This hearing protector is measured for each person individually and that guarantees perfect fit and maximum wearing comfort.
Regular motorcycle riders run the risk of hearing damage. Official measurements show that safe limits are very quickly exceeded. For this target group, Variphone offers the V-Sil Moto. This custom made hearing protector, which is made from a 40 Shore Silicone material, is characterized by its fit and wearing comfort under most styles of helmets. These hearing protectors are fitted with a selective filter that more than guarantees their efficiency. There is a choice of 23, 25 or 28 dB attenuation.
Many people have difficulty sleeping due either to their snoring partner, unnatural work pattern or because of living in a noisy environment and it can have very real consequences for your long term wellbeing. SleepSound was developed initially for shift workers who needed to sleep during the daytime, however users reported their effectiveness at reducing the level of their partners snoring to a degree where it became possible for them to sleep soundly without distraction. The concept of any custom made item is its individuality and uniqueness to its user. Sleepsound is no exception and user acceptance is very high, each pair being individually crafted under the strictest conditions from exact impressions of the users’ ears. Constructed from a very soft durable silicone, SleepSound is cut in such a way that it can be worn comfortably within the ear all night. SleepSound is produced in yellow.
Excessive exposure to impulse sound, such as during shooting practise for example, can cause irreversible hearing damage. Stopgun offers thorough protection against peak sounds, while normal spoken communication and environmental sounds are still audible. This custom made hearing protector, made from silicone material, has a filter that has been especially designed for impulse sound. The specific working of the passive filter causes this hearing protector to mainly restrain impulse sounds while it lets the continuous sound waves of communication and sounds from the environment through with gentle attenuation.
Evolution in gunshot hearing protection continues with the CENS® ProFlex electronic module combined with unique multi-softness custom fit earpieces. This new unique design combines superb functionality with an eye catching appearance, and this latest development leads the trend towards obstruction free, comfortable custom hearing protection for today’s shooter. Made from flexible, medical-grade silicone material, these digital, ultra soft noise suppressors are designed to be extremely comfortable over long durations, whilst still providing the excellent suppression you expect from CENS® digital.
The ProFlex digital 1 which has one standard program.
The ProFlex digital 2 which has 2 programs; one for game shooting and one for clay shooting.
The Proflex competition which has 2 programs; one standard program and a mute function for optimal concentration.
The ProFlex hunter which has 2 programs; one standard program and one program specified for wind noise suppression.

What information should your labels provide?
The information your labels are legally required to provide depends on the sector and product. Food and drink labels, for example, may need to cover everything from best-before or use-by dates, to ingredients and countries of origin (you can find government guidance on food and drink labelling here). Pharmaceutical labelling, meanwhile, is approved by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency. This essential information should be your starting point.
Design; what will your labels look like?
Labels aren’t just practical; they’re also an important marketing tool, conveying key messages about a company and its product. If possible, work with a design agency; they will develop an overall concept that ties in with your marketing strategy, using graphics, colour and text to communicate your brand-identity and USPs. Or, if you are designing labels yourself, think carefully about these elements – from colours and their connotations, to the ease with which a typeface can be read. The finished product should appeal to your customers and set you apart from the competition.
Material is another key design consideration, reflecting a brand’s identity and values. Producing premium gin? You should be able to opt for a higher-quality label stock, which will be covered by the unit cost of your product. Bottling all-natural hand creams? Consider using paper with a stripped-back, organic feel.
Labelling is also an opportunity for you to improve your business’ green credentials, exploring recycled and sustainable alternatives.
Just be careful not to get carried away; ultimately, your product will dictate the kind of material you use. Oils require grease-resistant paper, while labels for beverages may need to be suitable for low temperatures and damp surfaces. And, although clear labels look effective, you will need to ensure that your containers are dust-free before applying them. Striking the right balance between practicality and aesthetic appeal is key.
Which adhesive should you opt for?
Common and inexpensive, permanent adhesive can only be removed by solvents. It is suitable for a wide range of materials and surfaces.
After applying a semi-permanent label, you can remove and reposition it for several days. Eventually, it sets hard, and can only be removed using solvents.
Freezer adhesive can survive extreme cold, securing labels at sub-zero temperatures.
Labels affixed to a surface using peelable adhesive can be removed and repositioned without leaving a residue.
What happens if you want to automate the labelling process?
When it comes to design, it’s worth considering the labelling process itself. How will it change if you need to scale-up production – and will your labels be compatible? An elaborately-shaped sticker might be easy to apply by hand, but pose a problem if you decide to automate the operation. Read more about one of Karmelle’s specialist labelling projects here.
With careful planning, creative thinking and expert advice, you should be able to design a practical label that communicates your brand’s core values. Have a question about labels, or the labelling process? Contact our team on +44(0)1484 533356; we’re always happy to chat!

Sony’s new phones that follow the NXT design – like the Xperia S, U and P – come with a cool-looking transparent illumination strip at the bottom, but unfortunately they are mostly for show and don’t light up for notifications.
Enter Illumination Bar Notification, an app that lets you use the strip for notifying you of missed calls and SMS. On the Xperia S/P, you can set the blinking rate of the light for missed calls/SMS notifications as the strip on these phones only has a single white color. On the Xperia U though, you can set different colors – red, white, yellow, green, purple and blue – for different notifications.
It’s a pity Sony didn’t think of using the transparent strip for anything but visual appeal, but that’s what Android is famous for: extending functionality via third-party apps. So grab Illumination Bar Notification from Google Play and put that strip to good use.

Don’t eat Chick-fil-A if you support LGBTQ people.
Despite a pledge to change a few years back due to nationwide bad publicity, the restaurant chain has not stopped its giving to anti-LGBTQ and a new report shows it has actually increased.
DCEO Dan Cathy said in early 2011 that the company “would not champion any political agendas on marriage and family,” but in that same year the group’s anti-gay giving doubled.
In 2012 after Chick Fil-A executives promised to stop supporting anti-gay organizations, Cathy continued to show his support to anti-gay groups, and later stated that the company had never agreed to end its anti-gay funding at all.
And now, in 2019, it’s still giving to anti-LGBTQ groups, more than ever.

The Saskatchewan Index of Wellbeing (SIW) is a resource that expands our understanding of how well our communities and citizens are faring beyond the economic measures of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The SIW measures eight inter-connected domains that allow us to monitor changes in quality of life and wellbeing for our citizens, and provides community based organizations, all levels of government, businesses and citizens with the evidence required to inform policies, decisions and actions at the provincial, regional, and/or local level. The SIW provides data specific to Saskatchewan that is relevant and meaningful provincially.
Heritage Saskatchewan and the Community Initiatives Fund have partnered to develop the SIW based on a shared vision that all Saskatchewan citizens enjoy a high quality of life and wellbeing. We believe that wellbeing is achieved when people are physically, emotionally and spiritually healthy; economically secure; have a strong sense of identity, belonging and place; and have the confidence and capacity to engage as citizens.
The inaugural SIW report will be launched in 2019.

Until recently, obtaining tissue of fetal origin for genetic testing could only be obtained by invasive techniques such as amniocentesis (amniotic fluid samples containing fetal cells mostly of epithelial origin) or chorionic villus sampling (placental samples containing mesodermal connective tissue and trophoblastic cells of the placenta). However DNA from the fetus is found in circulating in maternal blood in intact fetal cells or after the breakdown of cells (mostly placental) as cell free DNA. Only 10-15% of cell free DNA circulating in maternal blood is fetal in origin but this fetal fraction can now be detected and measured.
In NIPT, cell free fetal DNA (cffDNA) is analysed by next generation sequencing (NGS) to detect quantitative differences in the number of DNA fragments of different chromosomes to distinguish fetal aneuploidies from unaffected pregnancies.
The medical conditions relevant to the proposed service are conditions such as Down syndrome, Edward syndrome, Patau syndrome and Turner syndrome that arise where the number of chromosomes present in the patient is abnormal (aneuploidy).
Prenatal screening is a routine medical service for a pregnant woman to evaluate her personal risk of fetal aneuploidy. These aneuploidies include but are not limited to; trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), trisomy 18 (Edward syndrome), trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) and monosomy X (Turner syndrome).
This application is for Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing for the detection of fetal aneuploidies to be supported by public funding through the Medicare Benefit Schedule.

Who is paying for music? According to a new report from the UK, almost everyone.
A new study released by the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA), a UK trade association, claims that the number of paid streaming music subscriptions will soon overtake the number of people accessing the same services for free.
The report, which was released on February 5, surveyed usage of Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Deezer, and YouTube Music, among others. The trade association found that more males already pay to stream (24.3%) rather than stream for free (23.9%), and more 25-34 year-olds also choose paid-for (34.9%) than free (27.9%). By a narrower margin, the same is now also true for 35-44s and 45-54s. You can view a full table of insights below. For women, more chose to stream music for free (19.1%) instead of paying to stream (16.8%).
For the time being, more people still stream for free (21.5%) rather than pay (20.6%), but the current conversation rates indicate a victory for paid-for services could come later this year.
Speaking on the results of the study, ERA CEO Kim Bayley said, “Ten or fifteen years ago popular opinion had it that it was all over for the music business and people would no longer pay for music. These figures are a striking vindication of the innovation and investment of digital services.
The ERA based its data on their recurring entertainment survey which every quarter for the past five years has quizzed a panel of 1,500 people on how they consume music video and games, tracking changing service and format preferences.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common and clinically relevant side effect of chemotherapy. Approximately 50% of all leukemia, lymphoma, colorectal- and breast cancer patients are affected.
CIPN is induced by neurotoxic chemotherapeutic agents and can manifest with sensory and/or motor deficits. It is associated with significant disability and poor recovery. Common symptoms include pain, altered sensation, reduced or absent reflexes, muscle weakness, reduced balance control and insecure gait.
These symptoms not only affect activities of daily living, subsequently reducing patients’ quality of life, they have far more become a decisive limiting factor for medical therapy, causing treatment delays, dose reductions, or even discontinuation of therapy, which can affect the outcome and compromise survival. To date, CIPN cannot be prevented and its occurrence presents a diagnostic dilemma since approved and effective treatment options are lacking.
Promising results have recently been achieved with exercise. We have revealed that sensorimotor training (SMT) or whole body vibration (WBV) can reduce the symptoms of CIPN and attenuate motor and sensory deficits. We furthermore detected a tendency that it may also have a preventive effect on the onset of CIPN.
We are therefore conducting a prospective, multicentre, controlled clinical trial involving 236 oncological patients receiving either oxaliplatin (N = 118) or vinca-alkaloid (N = 118) who are randomized to one of two interventions (SMT or WBV) or a treatment as usual (TAU) group. Primary endpoint is the time to incidence of neurologically confirmed CIPN. Secondary endpoints are pain, maintenance of the functionality of sensory as well as motor nerve fibres as well as the level of physical activity. The baseline assessment is performed prior to the first cycle of chemotherapy. Subsequent follow-up assessments are conducted at 12 weeks, after completion of chemotherapy, and at a 3-month follow-up. Patients who develop CIPN receive an additional assessment at this time point, as it represents the primary endpoint.
We hypothesize that SMT and WBV prevent the onset or delay the progression of CIPN, decrease the likelihood of dose reductions or discontinuation of cancer treatment and improve patients’ quality of life.
Deutsche Register Klinischer Studien (DRKS00006088, registered 07.05.2014).
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is caused by neurotoxic agents in cancer therapy. Oxaliplatin and vinca-alkaloids are two of the main agents responsible for CIPN. Oxaliplatin inhibits DNA synthesis and repair due to its ring structure, which causes the death of neural cells. Vinca-alkaloids cause axonal damage and disrupt axonal transport via microtubular damage. The main cancer patients affected by oxaliplatin are colorectal, NHL and breast cancer patients, while lymphoma patients but also ALL and pulmonary cancer patients mainly receive vinca-alkaloids. Peripheral sensory nerves are especially sensitive to toxins. Damage caused to these fibres leads to various sensory and motor dysfunctions. Patients suffer from symptoms such as loss of sensation, apparent as numbness, tingling or burning, dysaesthesia, reduced or absent Achilles tendon reflexes [1, 2] pain, and loss of balance control leading to instable gait, as well as an increased incidence of accidents and falls .
Even though CIPN is such a prevalent and clinically relevant side effect , not only diminishing patients’ quality of life, but also leading to treatment delays, dose reductions or even discontinuation of therapy, affecting the outcome and compromise survival , little research has been done to investigate the potentially beneficial effects of specific exercises to counteract the various motor and sensory dysfunctions.
To date, CIPN cannot be prevented and there is no consent regarding the treatment of CIPN. Research has focused on pharmacological therapies aimed at reducing CIPN or treating selected side effects while [6–8] this has been helpful for neuropathic pain, it does not address the many other side effects of CIPN [9–12]. On the contrary, many of these agents have been shown to have additional negative side effects . An exercise intervention has now revealed promising results. In a first clinical trial, we conducted an exercise intervention consisting of endurance, strength and sensorimotor training (SMT) twice a week for 36 weeks, accompanying lymphoma patients from diagnosis to completion of treatment. The study revealed a significant reduction of neuropathic symptoms. Patients exercising were able to reduce CIPN-related symptoms (e.g., peripheral deep sensitivity) by 87%, while in the control group no change (0%) was detected. After 36 weeks, 55% of the control group still had symptoms related to CIPN while only 4% remained with CIPN in the intervention group.
Furthermore, a positive tendency regarding the incidence of CIPN could be detected. Unfortunately, the sample size was too small in this study to show significant results. The majority of expertise on exercise and peripheral neuropathy (PNP) arises from research on patients with diabetic neuropathy. In a systematic review , we evaluated all exercise intervention studies for neuropathic patients independent of the cause. We found that for toxically induced PNP such as CIPN, balance exercises were most beneficial for motor as well as sensory symptoms.
Taking previous findings into consideration, this strengthened our presumption that SMT played a decisive role in the study by Streckmann et al. , as studies in healthy adults have revealed that SMT has the potential to counteract some of the mentioned side-effects of PNP. SMT is characterized by functional adaptations of the neuromuscular system [16, 17], regeneration of neuromuscular structures and the diminished prevalence of injuries [19, 20], leading to improved proprioception , intermuscular coordination and balance control, causing fewer falls and increasing mobility. Furthermore, studies with strength training alone or in combination with endurance training showed little to no significant intergroup differences. In line with these findings, Steimann and Vogt evaluated the subjective effectiveness of physiotherapy (gait training and balance exercises) and ergotherapy (e.g., walking on granulate material), while Steimann also looked at electrotherapy. Both found that patients experienced ergotherapy and physiotherapy as very helpful. One case report on a breast cancer patient, suffering from painful CIPN, showed improved balance after balance training .
Targeting similar mechanisms as SMT, though possibly addressing different sensory qualities, whole body vibration (WBV) has also been taken into consideration. Previous studies investigating WBV have shown a positive impact on parameters influenced by the side-effects of PNP. Kawanabe et al. and Bogaerts et al. showed that elderly individuals improve their gait after vibration exercises. Rittweger and Kirchner et al. found WBV to have a positive impact on pain reduction, while further studies showed an effect on deconditioned skeletal muscle , improved isometric strength [26, 29, 30], postural sway and reduced fall frequency . Schönsteiner et al. , performed a multimodal exercise program containing WBV, massage and physical exercises with CIPN patients (N = 131), achieving less symptoms and pain, improved physical fitness and better coordination. Both SMT and WBV require very little time and effort, but have a high impact. Especially for cancer patients, this aspect plays an important role, as therapy can be very strenuous for the patients. Training and devices are feasible, meet the requirements of hospital hygiene and are portable for all phases of therapy, even in isolation. Training is therefore even possible during cytopenias, often a limiting factor for exercise interventions concomitant to therapy.
We therefore conducted a randomized, controlled, pilot study assessing cancer patients with neurologically confirmed CIPN to either SMT (n = 10), WBV (n = 10) or a control group (n = 10) with no intervention additionally comparing them to an age- and gender matched healthy control group (n = 10). WBV and SMT were feasible for patients with CIPN and both exercise groups benefited (improved reflex activity of the Achilles- and patella tendon), peripheral deep sensitivity and pain) from 6 weeks of intervention twice a week .
To summarize, there are no existing prevention trials assessing the potentially beneficial effects of exercise for the onset of CIPN and only very little is known about the effects of exercise on the symptoms of CIPN. Based on our previous findings as well as from practical experience with patients, we hypothesize that SMT and WBV prevent the onset of CIPN on the one hand and/or can influence the progress of CIPN and associated motor and sensory symptoms such as balance control, coordination and mobility, as well as sensitivity, proprioception and pain, enhancing patients’ quality of life and assuring the best clinical outcome by enabling patients to receive their planned therapy regimen.
We plan to enrol 236 newly diagnosed haematological/oncological patients who are scheduled to receive chemotherapy containing either oxaliplatin or a vinca-alkaloid, aged ≥18 years, with the mental and physical ability to provide signed informed consent and participate in the study. Patients are recruited at three participating centres: The University Hospital of Cologne, the St. Antonius Hospital in Eschweiler and the joint practice for oncology and hematology at the Sachsenring in Cologne. Exclusion criteria is a pre-existing neuropathy of other cause. Therefore, patients will be assessed clinically for signs of neuropathy and will undergo nerve conduction studies prior to randomization. Neuropathy will be defined electrophysiologically as CMAP amplitude below 5 mV, SNAP amplitude below 5 μV, and nerve conduction velocity below 40 m/s of tibial or sural nerve). Further exclusion criteria are previous therapies containing neurotoxic agents, any contraindication for whole body vibration (instable bone metastases, acute leg thrombosis, a fracture in the lower extremities in the past 2 years, foot ulcers, artificial hips or other osteosynthesis), and myocardial infarction, angina pectoris or heart disease (NYHA III-IV) within the past six months.
The study follows a prospective, randomized controlled design, allocating patients to three groups: an intervention group receiving SMT, an additional intervention group receiving WBV, and a control group (Fig. 1). Patients in the two intervention groups receive a defined exercise program twice a week in addition to treatment as usual (TAU). Patients in the control group receive TAU and are given the opportunity to participate in the preferred intervention after completion of the study. The interventions and assessments take place at the respective centers.
Data is assessed at 3 to 5 measuring time points, depending on the length of medical therapy and a potential incidence of CIPN (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3). The baseline assessment (T0) is performed prior to the first cycle of chemotherapy. All patients are re-assessed after three months (T1). For most patients, this is simultaneously the post-therapy measurement (Tp) (Fig.2), while for patients who are treated for more than three months it represents an interim assessment (T1) (Fig.3), in order to ensure comparability regardless of the entity. These patients have an additional assessment upon completion of their medical therapy (~6 months). The follow-up measurement is performed three months after completion of chemotherapy (T2) in order to compensate for any potential coasting effects. Each assessment has a duration of 90 min at most. To ensure the detection of CIPN, patients are informed about possible symptoms of CIPN and asked to report back to the study coordinators immediately. Furthermore, patients are regularly asked for potential symptoms by their physicians. Additionally, a short neurological test battery is performed every 6 weeks. Sports therapists will be blinded and must not ask patients about CIPN symptoms during the interventions in order to obtain comparability with the control group. In case a CIPN is neurologically confirmed, patients are also tested at this time point (Ti).
Nerve conduction studies are performed by trained, certified and blinded examiners. For patients of the University Hospital Cologne as well as the joint practice at Sachsenring, neurophysiological assessments are performed in the Electrophysiology Laboratory of the Department of Neurology, University Hospital Cologne. Patients in Eschweiler are seen by a local neurologist. Assessment methods are standardized and aligned among the investigators. Furthermore, patients are asked not to mention the arm they are participating in to the investigators. Examiners are trained by a gold-standard examiner using a standard operating procedure and certified prior to the study.
For nerve conduction studies, motor and sensory nerves are assessed. Compound muscle action potentials (CMAP), distal motor latency, conduction velocity, and F-waves are obtained from the tibial nerve. The tibial nerve is stimulated at the ankle and popliteal fosse. Antidromic sensory nerve conduction studies are performed in the sural nerve. Sensory nerve action potentials (SNAPs) are recorded from the lateral malleolus with surface electrodes. Skin temperature is monitored and maintained above 32 °C using a heater if necessary.
We furthermore conduct a standardized neurological clinical test battery that is a feasible assessment method for oncological patients in order to check for first neuropathic symptoms. It is used as a pretest to screen for CIPN related symptoms. Should one of the components show irregularities, a neuroelectrography is required in order to detect and document a possible CIPN.
Peripheral deep sensitivity is evaluated by the use of a Rydel-Seiffer tuning fork (128 Hz) with a scale from 0 to 8. Due to age related neural deconditioning, values ≤4 are pathological for patients ≥60 years old, while for patients under 60 years old, ≤5 is regarded as pathological .
The Reflex action of the Achilles- as well as the patellar tendon is assessed with a reflex hammer and graded on a 3-point scale (1 = agile, 2 = weak, 3 = missing).
Sense of position is assessed by asking patients if they can recognize a change of position in their first toe, with their eyes closed.
Perception of touch is evaluated by symmetrically stroking the outsides of the patients’ legs and feet in order to detect reduced or altered sensation due to demyelination or axonal degeneration [30, 35].
The strength of the lower leg muscles is assessed by requesting the patient to actively move their legs against the resistance of the examiner’s arm. The examiner then grades the strength on a six-point scale (0 = no activity, 1 = visual contraction without motor effect, 2 = movement under elimination of gravity, 3 = movement under gravity, 4 = movement against slight resistance 5 = normal force).
A force plate (Leonardo Mechanograph®, Novotec medical, Pforzheim, Germany) is used to assess changes in the center of pressure during upright static and dynamic stance. The assessment follows a standardized protocol (see Table 1). Primarily, the supporting foot is determined with a short test . Patients are asked to maintain an upright position with their knees slightly flexed (~30°), hands at their side and their gaze straight ahead for 30 s. The cumulative change in sway paths during this period is registered and serves as a measure of postural control. To minimize bias through potential learning effects, each position is repeated three times. Additionally, failed attempts are recorded should a patient seek hold. The tasks become progressively more difficult as previous studies (see reference for review) have shown that postural tasks with different complexity serve best to test for changes in stance stability after balance training. To assess the dynamic stance, a balance pad is additionally placed on top of the force plate.
The particular sector of the FACT/GOG-Ntx [Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynaecology Oncology Group – Neurotoxity] is used to document and assess the severity of the subjective PNP symptoms . This questionnaire has been validated and contains eleven items which allow an assessment of the extent of PNP symptoms – from “not at all” to “very much” .
The EORTC-QLQ-CIPN20 is a phase IV questionnaire that we are evaluating for N. Aaronson in the course of this study. It is a 20-item questionnaire that was developed to elicit patients’ experience of symptoms and functional limitations related to CIPN.The CIPN20 has 3 subscales: a sensory, a motor, and an autonomic subscale.
The EORTC-QLQ-C30-questionnaire is used to assess health-related quality of life. In addition to a scale for “global quality of life”, the questionnaire contains five functional scales (physical, emotional, social and cognitive functions, and role functions), three symptoms scales (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting), and single item scales of respiratory distress, insomnia, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhoea, and financial problems. The questionnaire has been validated and translated into 81 languages and has been used in more than 3000 studies worldwide. It is internationally regarded as reliable [39, 40].
This questionnaire focuses on pain specifically related to PNP. It helps assess patients’ subjective experience of neuropathy-related pain. The questionnaire includes 12 items that take the intensity, progression, and distribution of pain into account. The questions are answered on a Likert scale ranging from “not at all” to “very much”, which are summed up to yield a total score that reflects neuropathic pain status. Pain DETECT is a validated and reliable screening tool with high sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive accuracy [41, 42].
Physical activity levels are evaluated using the Freiburger Physical Activity Questionnaire (FFKA), a standardized and validated questionnaire that assesses the physical activities performed by a patient during the past 4 weeks. Based on the patients’ answers, MET-scores are calculated [43, 44].
See Table 1 for Flow-chart of all assessments.
Sensorimotor training consists of progressively more difficult balance exercises on progressively instable surfaces. Each patient performs 4 exercises per session following a standardized protocol (see Table 1). Each exercise is performed three times for 20 s, allowing a 40 s rest between each set and a 3-min rest between each exercise, to avoid neuronal fatigue. Patients are asked to stand barefoot or in socks, their foot in a previously acquired “short-foot-position”, knees slightly flexed (30°), and to maintain balance.
Vibration training takes place on a vibration platform (Galileo™, Pforzheim, Germany)®. Each training session consists of four sets of 30 s to 1 min vibration. The frequency of the vibrating platform ranges between 18 and 35 Hz with a 2 mm amplitude. Between sets, the patients rest for at least 1 min to avoid fatigue. Patients are asked to stand on the platform barefoot and on their forefeet or if they are too instable, an 80/20% distribution of weight on the forefeet rather than the heels.
Each training session allows for individual progression within a standardised selection of exercises (see Table 1) and is documented by the sports therapist.
Central computerized randomisation (RITA) using a modified minimization procedure with stochastic component according to Pocock and Simon is performed : intervention 1: intervention 2:control = 1:1:1, stratified by study center and type of therapy (Oxaliplatin, Vinca-alkaloids). In trials under similar conditions, a balanced randomization has been achieved using this algorithm .
Sample size calculation is based on the primary endpoint incident CIPN. Power calculation is based on the following scenario: The assumed incidence rate with TAU is 90%, which was informed by a review of the literature. In both intervention groups, we assumed an incidence rate of 75%. The effect size corresponds to a relative risk of about 0.60, which is a clinically meaningful effect size. Using the log-rank test (1-β = 0.8, two-sided α = 0.05), we need a total of 196 evaluable patients, 65 per group [46, 47]. We anticipate a drop-out rate of 10%, yielding a total of 236 patients to be recruited for this study, 79 per group. This calculation is conservative as we may achieve additional power performing the final analysis using a multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression model adjusting for study center, type of chemotherapy, type of cancer, gender, and age.
Patients are recruited in three centers: The University Hospital Cologne/ CIO Cologne Bonn, the St.-Antonius-Hospital in Eschweiler, and the Oncological Practice at the Sachsenring in Cologne. The numbers of patients are based on the average number of patients in the respective centers per year over the past 2 years, considering denial or drop-out and applied to the recruitment period.
Data entry is continuously monitored by a data manager (TN) and will be analyzed by a statistician (ML). For the primary endpoint incident CIPN, censoring will be taken into account by using log-rank tests, and multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models will be used to test for differences between groups and to estimate treatment effects. For categorical secondary endpoints, Fisher’s exact test and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests and multivariable logistic regression models will be performed. For continuous outcomes (including scores derived from self-report questionnaires), t-tests and multivariable linear or median regression models will be used. Multivariable models will adjust for study center, type of chemotherapy, type of cancer, gender, and age. Intention-to-treat analyses will be conducted based on complete cases and on multiply imputed data using a conditional imputation .
To date there is no prevention or effective treatment for neuropathies though it presents a diagnostic dilemma as physicians need to find the balance between patients’ quality of life and the effectiveness of medical therapy. Our main study aim is therefore to evaluate the potential of sensorimotor training and whole-body vibration to prevent CIPN. We expect that both interventions (SMT and WBV) will be able to prevent or at least postpone the incidence of CIPN and in case of occurrence at least reduce the severity of subjective and objective CIPN-related symptoms such as loss of peripheral deep sensitivity, pain, weakened or absent reflexes or loss of balance control, enabling patients to receive their planned medical therapy. A successful implementation would therefore be of high clinical relevance.
Patients have the potential benefit of being able to prevent the incidence of CIPN or at least reduce their debilitating symptoms of CIPN without any further side-effects. We do not expect any complications. The interventions have no negative influence on their medical therapy. All groups receive the best medical standard. However, we have to account for the possibility that patients with neuropathic pain in the lower extremities may possibly experience some pain during the vibration exercises at higher frequencies. Due to the low submaximal intensity, the position taken on the platform, and the well-established, non-invasive assessment methods, we believe the possible risk is very low for patients. The electroneurography is a neurological routine assessment that is not associated with any specific risk. Due to the fact that electricity is used, it is possible that some patients may experience this sensation as uncomfortable or painful.
In an exercise intervention study, where patients have to be trained and supervised by qualified exercise therapists, patients are aware of their allocation to the treatment or control group. It is therefore essential that investigators performing the assessments are blinded as to which arm patients are in and are not allowed to train the patients and vice versa. All measurements are performed using highly standardized procedures. Assessments are standardized as well as aligned among the investigators. Patients will additionally be asked not to reveal the result of randomisation to any investigator except of course to the exercise therapist. The study can therefore be considered single-blinded. To further reduce bias, all three centres are equipped with identical technology enabling optimal conditions for comparable data collection. The study coordinator (FS) is the same for all study centres and training of study assistants is identical. All assessments within an individual are always performed by the same trained investigator. Assessments are performed according to standardized operating procedures, at the same time of day, in the same room and maintaining a consistent temperature. Regular meetings are held to optimize coordination of data collection and collaboration among the study centres. Follow-up measurements will be carried out by investigators who are unaware of the treatment allocation, resulting in an unbiased assessment of the outcome. A randomized study design will essentially rule out confounding.
Our results may contribute to improved supportive care in oncology, thereby enhancing quality of life, enabling the optimal medical therapy in neuropathic cancer patients and, eventually, possibly even improving survival for these patients.
We furthermore expect that the proposed interventions will lead to an improvement of motor and sensory functions (such as balance control, coordination, sensitivity, reflexes, pain) impacted by CIPN. It will help understand the underlying mechanisms of SMT and WBV on motor and sensory functions impaired by PNP. It could assure best clinical outcomes by improving the side-effects of CIPN without interfering with the planned therapy regime, impacting supportive care for cancer patients. Patients’ mobility, autonomy and activities of daily living could be maintained. Consequently, patients’ quality of life would be increased. Further possible side-effects (e.g., fatigue) could be decreased and secondary diseases reduced. Additionally, patients’ social reintegration could be enhanced. The results can help develop recommendations for patients suffering from CIPN, improving supportive care for cancer patients.
We furthermore aim at publishing the results in peer-reviewed scientific journals, raising the awareness of the scientific community for this topic. Furthermore, we will create guidelines, training recommendations, and manuals for clinical practice and health care professionals that can directly be translated into patients’ everyday lives. Finally, our results will form the foundation for future research on this topic.

That’s a big word isn’t it, children? And difficult to spell, as I’ve just found out.
John Shelley, Bridget Strevens-Marzo and myself were given the task of drawing pictures for a story written by Annie Neild. In front of real, living, breathing people, and with no time to think because none of us had heard the story before that moment.
An illustrators’ shoot-out then; no holds barred, no prisoners taken, giving the audience a chance to watch three grown illustrators sweat with panic.
Me, John, Annie and Bridget, anthropomorphizing like mad things.
It was a cruel and unusual punishment to finish the day with. Along with Paeony Lewis, Benjamin Scott and several others, we’d all taken part in the SCBWI Authors’ and Illustrators’ Day at Norwich’s Millennium Library, which John had organized back in July.
Most of us picture book people will have been there, drawn that and got the Peppa Pig t-shirt.
Annie had written a fun story about a small panda, with an attentive mum and various animal friends. He went to school, and juggled and did silly things. So… not the usual lying-around-in-the-wild-chewing-bamboo-shoots behaviour that real pandas tend to go in for. This was a story about animals as substitute humans, attributing human characteristics to animals, showing them doing things they’d never normally do. Anthropomorphism.
Most of us picture book people will have been there, drawn that and got the Peppa Pig t-shirt. Anthropomorphism is a staple of our trade.
At one point, Mummy panda had to help little boy panda get ready for school. Right… put yourselves in our shoes. You have three seconds to think how to make a visual distinction between the two anthropomorphized pandas. Obviously size will be one way. But what next? How do you show that the big panda is female, and a mother who cooks breakfast and dresses her son for school?
It’s not easy, is it? We had no time to come up with any kind of sophisticated graphic solution. My mind went blank and I resorted to the old Disney trick of putting a big bow on top of her head, and giving her a small dress and pinny. And so did Bridget. And so did John.
I adopted my politically correct, concerned face and muttered some fluff about visual shorthand.
She glared accusingly at the bow on the panda’s head and the skirts. At first I thought she was trying to make a point about sexism or something similar, so I adopted my politically correct, concerned face and muttered some fluff about visual shorthand.
I pointed out that using animals as substitutes for humans has been going on since at least the time of Aesop.
No. Still not good enough because, you see, she wasn’t making a point about sexism or race. It was an environmental point. She complained that there are currently so many species of animal being made extinct, and at such an alarming rate, that we writers and illustrators should be concentrating our story-telling talents on showing how real animals live their lives in the real world. Then we’d not only be helping children to learn to read, but we’d be educating them about the natural world as well.
And do you know what? I think she had a point.
Would picture books taking a more naturalistic approach to their subject matter be a healthier way to educate and entertain our youngsters?
“I can’t think of a single picture book that depicts animals as proper creatures and not as pretend humans,” she said.
I could. I’d recently been to the SCBWI Picture Book Retreat at Holland House near Copethorne, and had the pleasure of watching author and illustrator Gerry Turley show us his extraordinary sketchbooks, full of drawings taken from life, many of them executed in the wild. Gerry’s work showed real animals in real environments, and it was stunning stuff.
So why don’t more of us do the same thing? After all, there’s plenty of drama and loads of conflict in nature.
Sadly, there are probably far, far more panda cuddly toys in existence than there are real pandas. Ditto elephants, rhinos, apes… it’s a depressingly long list. Would picture books taking a more naturalistic approach to their subject matter be a healthier way to educate and entertain our youngsters?
I would hate it if there were no more Rupert the Bears, Mrs Tiggywinkles, Danger Mouses, Wibbly Pigs, Maisies, and all the other magical animal/human hybrids that have captivated generations of children. But let’s face it, they’re not the ones in danger of extinction. Pandas – real ones – they’re a different proposition.
His picture book Woo is due to be published in 2014 by David Fickling Books. Watch out for it. It’s brilliant. Conciliatory.
Because that's what publishers want? Really interesting post thanks Mike. The link to Gerry's website has an extra dot on the end so it doesn't work unless you remove it.
Thank you for spotting that, Heather - fixed.
Brilliant article, Mike! Really interesting point - although I'm sure I'd have struggled with responding to your serious young mother in that particular context!
I would hate to think I'd never see another chicken with a handbag, but I'm sure there's also a place for books which show young children more of the reality of the natural world - and of man's impact in particular. Do you think it's the ruthlessness of tooth and claw that makes publishers shy away from it?
A good point was made by the audience member. I chose a duck and a bear to represent an author and an illustrator in my webcomic because these animals feature so often in kid lit. I used other popular children's book animals, such as a panda, a dinosaur and so on for other characters in the story.
However this was not to make a negative point about anthropomorphism as I think that it has an important role in stories. It enables characters in children's books to transcend many barriers (race, culture, hair colour, age and even, in some ways, gender) in a non-threatening way they become a representative of every child.
Plus animals can move and behave in ways that might seem odd or unsettling in a child character - somehow they can have more autonomy (no obvious parental figures) without child readers worrying too much about their welfare. I think that sometimes children can more comfortably identify with animal characters, especially when the subject matter is a little scary. For instance I could imagine a child being terribly upset by the portrayal of a child character who has temporarily become separated from its parents, but make the story about baby tigers waiting for their mother to come home and somehow it takes the edge off enough for the child reader to read about and address this fear.
True that there are not enough books about the real life of animals - we do need more but not as a replacement of our anthropomorphic books, they should be in addition.
Great stuff hanks Mike! Can't say I would relish an illustration shoot out myself!
I especially love these posts that inspire such thoughtful comments. Thank you.
One reason we don't use real animal stories in picture books is that nature is incredibly cruel, so an author would either have to soft-soap some aspects of nature or present it in glorious technicolour, which would put a lot of people (me included) off!
I agree with all your comments. I'm not calling for a blanket ban on anthropomorphism. We tend to ascribe human attributes to animals because that's the easiest way of relating to them, and there's nothing wrong with that.
The lady I met gave the impression of being a serious academic, and the point she was making stayed with me because she did hint at a new way of thinking about picture books -- an approach that very few of us take. I have a feeling that many publishers might very well be interested in a fresh, more naturalistic point of view. But of course I have no way of proving this! Peppa Pig does make a LOT of money, after all!
What a great, thought provoking article. Hmmm...adults leading the children's markets. We are entrusted with the roles of educators, entertainers, nurturers, protectors. All the above comments have very valid viewpoints. I think some of children's earliest experiences of animals are through pets and those in their immediate external environments. When interacting with, and watching those animals, we do relate (and even interpret) their behaviour to our own. We use our language to explain their own, that's the human way of demystifying the world around us. I agree. It makes us feel safe. Telling a story about an animal without giving it a name or individual character would be tricky without being a wildlife expert/zoologist and would surely be more non-fictional? However, a challenging concept to get your head around full of possible adventures. Thanks for the subject matter!

Working at a desk too many hours at a stretch can be more dangerous for your health than cigarette smoking. So, what’s a writer to do? Let me guess: You’re sick of this topic. Either that or you already know way more about health and healthy habits than any blog post can possibly tell you. I get it.
But consider this: Your success as a healthcare writer is linked to your health. You are your own best advertisement. If you don’t look healthy, your clients may question your ability to write about health. And, when you’re self-employed, you may suddenly find yourself without access to employer-driven health insurance benefits. Staying healthy saves you money.
How’s that for motivation to keep reading?
Building healthy habits in each of these categories keeps your body healthy, so you can do what you love.
It’s easy to forget to hydrate when you’re working at a desk, so keep plenty of drinking water handy. Emphasis on plain water. Remember that coffee, also known as a writer’s favorite companion, is a diuretic. So, if you must have coffee, try going sip-for-sip at a 1:1 ratio of coffee to water.
Looking for the target amount of water you should consume per day?
Start with a baseline minimum of 1.5 L (about 6 cups) daily , but be aware that recommendations vary. Remember, if you feel thirsty, you’re probably dehydrated. It’s difficult to drink too much water, and most people don’t drink enough.
Failing to plan is planning to fail, and “failure” is easy when food is involved. It’s tempting to opt for convenience when you’re trying to maximize productive writing time.
One approach that works for me is to prepare a protein-containing breakfast, lunch and healthy snacks for myself the night before as if I were still commuting to a job away from home. I stock my fridge and pantry with pre-cut vegetables, small portions of low-calorie, easy-to-prepare, nutritious snacks such as Greek yogurt, hummus, seeds, nuts, nut butters and dark chocolate.
If you need ideas for desk-appropriate snacks, or if you want to check the nutrient value of specific foods, numerous resources are available online.
Eye strain may go completely unnoticed, or it may manifest in signs like headaches, excessive tearing, dryness, or irritation that are easily attributable to something else. Computer Vision Syndrome, or CVS, is more prevalent than we think. Prevention is the best cure.
Ensure the lighting in your workspace is adequate. Know how to adjust the brightness and resolution settings on your digital devices. And don’t skimp on annual eye exams. Even if you don’t have insurance coverage for optometry, make sure your business budget includes periodic eye exams.
It’s a worthy investment, whether your vision is corrected or not. Your vision will change as you age and use digital devices more.
Good circulation delivers oxygen to your brain, vital organs and extremities. Sitting restricts circulation, so your whole body eventually becomes oxygen-deprived if you sit too much. You may have worn compression stockings when you were working on your feet all day, and they can be your friend for seated work as well, but they’re not a stand-alone fix.
Other ways to keep your circulation flowing include alternating standing and sitting, toe-tap and leg-movement exercises while seated, and brisk walking during breaks.
And remember to breathe. I tend to hold my breath while concentrating, but when I intentionally take deep breaths throughout the day, I notice that my memory, thought processes, and mood improve.
Our bones and muscles are all connected, so when one area goes out of whack, others feel the pain. This is where posture, ergonomics and strategic stretching come in. Desk, chair, screen and keyboard ergonomics are designed to support good posture, and strategic stretching can counteract any postural slipups or ergonomic improprieties to help you avoid “text neck,” lower back pain, or carpal-tunnel-like symptoms.
Make sure your chair height is adjusted so your feet can rest flat, and your thighs are parallel to the floor. Don’t slouch or thrust your neck or chin forward see the screen, and make sure your elbows and wrists form a straight line with the keyboard. Although apps like PostureZone are becoming more popular, they aren’t perfect.
If you build core strength, maintain good ergonomics with your workspace setup, stretch strategically and change positions often during the day, you can go a long way toward preventing musculoskeletal pain.
Add to it and vary it to keep it from being boring. But the point is to do it.
Integrate your upgraded health habits into your routine now by scheduling regular breaks throughout the day like mandatory meetings. Set a timer, create a calendar alert, or use a free app like Stand Up! to remind you to take breaks and/or act on any healthy habit individually.
And toss any misguided notions from previous work that it’s noble or necessary to work through your breaks. As a healthcare freelance writer, you’re in charge of your day and your health.
What is your favorite or most effective healthy habit you think other healthcare writers should know?

As Kip Williams’ new production of A Cheery Soul opens on Mrs Custance (Anita Hegh) nervously busying herself around her kitchen and housewifely duties, and Mr Custance (Anthony Taufa) solemnly sitting down to his tea, it’s impossible not to think of the young John and Janette Howard and the Australia that he, in particular, seems always to yearn for.
Written in 1963 yet steeped in the 1950s, Patrick White’s vision of suburban Australia skewers these people mercilessly. They are well meaning, small-minded, repressed, myopic and comfy in their stupefying times like prawns in aspic, or perhaps cubes of cheddar and cocktail onions on toothpicks. Although it must be said that such sophistication is probably beyond the Custances. He whose prize tomatoes are a reason to get up in the morning and she who feels compelled to “do something” for the greater good and her own conscience. And Miss Docker is what she decides to do.
Flitting about like discarded newspaper in the hot breeze of suburban Sarsparilla, Miss Docker (Sarah Peirse) is alone, homeless, and relentlessly cheerful. Nothing will get her down, no one is safe from her indefatigable instinct to help and enhance. She is the personification of malevolent good intent and when she accepts Mrs Custance’s offer of a room in their home, she is barely through the door before her impact on decor, cooking and household routine are felt.
That there’ll be tears before bedtime is a given, but it’s how White gets us there that is so enthralling. He is, to date, Australia’s only Nobel Prize-winner for literature and his novels are better known than the plays, yet the latter are rich, sardonic, sharply-targeted and rewarding. A Cheery Soul is an electrifying, tough portrait of a tribe and a way of life he despised: nice, stultifying suburbia.
In the past A Cheery Soul has been seen as grim and theatrically perplexing. The eponymous character is, after all, one of the most tragic in the Australian canon and the structure of the play is confronting. However, Kip Williams has highlighted the humour and naturalism of the first half – an enviable tomato patch and perfect cream and green kitchen, for instance (set design Elizabeth Gadsby) – so that when the play switches gear to absurdist surrealism it not only makes sense but also heightens the tension and theatricality of the second half.
Adding immeasurably to the drama is a lush, filmic score by composer Clemence Williams and the complex simplicity of Gadsby’s set design: two revolves are employed to switch states around the Custance home and, for the second half, a front cloth drops to form the genteel nursing home where Miss Docker fetches up. The period touches are few and effective: wallpaper, an item of furniture, a teapot; and the costumes. Alice Babidge has clad the company in the asphyxiating styles of the late ’50s (the ’60s didn’t arrive until midway through the decade and never really made it to such white picket fence backwaters as Sarsparilla).
The only notable addition to White’s original, aside from the double revolve (of which Williams is a master manipulator), is the director’s other penchant for live-operated cameras and projections (viz Suddenly Last Summer, The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui); and these are employed here to great effect. While we’re accustomed to movies showing us the surface action, what the filming does in A Cheery Soul is the opposite: black and white close-ups of actors’ faces, with added imagery reveal subtexts and characters’ hidden lives (video and sound designer: David Bergman). And none of this would work without lighting designer Nick Schlieper’s magic.
As well as the principals, a fine company of eight take multiple gender-blind roles. Emma Harvie, Jay James-Moody, Brandon McClelland, Monica Sayers and Nikki Shiels are barely recognisable as they switch from church congregation, to various town worthies, a bunch of scabby-kneed kids, the lady inmates of the nursing home and a Greek-style chorus of stickybeaks. Chief among them, Bruce Spence excels as a simpering biddy, while Shari Sebbens and a fierce moustache are an irresistible combination. Tara Morice is also exceptional as a heart-rending grand dame fallen on hard times.
The play hinges on Miss Docker, however. She is possibly the most maddening woman ever in Australian theatre, yet she must also be human and fragile and make us bleed for her; and Sarah Peirse is magnificently awful. Over time, laughter gives way to compassion and the realisation of how patronising and complacent is the oft repeated description of her – a cheery soul. Recommended without reservation.

Author of Futuretainment and CEO of innovation research agency Tomorrow, Mike Walsh helps to prepare business leaders for what’s next.
Everything is changing. All the traditional industries we grew up with – media, communication, finance, professional services and retail – are all in the process of being turned upside down and re-invented. The force behind this revolution is not technology but rather consumer behaviour. After all, as interesting as it is when things change, the real magic happens when people do.
A leading authority on new media and the digital future. Mike’s unique approach is to scan the near horizon for what’s happening right now, then translate these movements into usable trends. Constantly traveling the world for the best ideas, consumer innovations and disruptive technologies – Mike distills the most relevant insights into tailored keynotes that allow any audience (including technophobes) to not only understand, but also start to influence the future direction of their industry.
With a dynamic and high energy presentation style, author and futurist Mike Walsh currently stimulates audiences around the globe with his analysis of the latest consumer trends. His presentations blend video, high impact visuals and mind blowing cases of innovation from his experiences in the cutting edge markets of Japan, Korea and China. Whether a conference, strategy offsite or an intimate boardroom discussion – Mike’s presentations will turn the overwhelming tidal wave of new media opportunities into practical strategy. Acting as a powerful catalyst for new innovation, strategic planning and brand inspiration.
Mike Walsh has three core programs, which are constantly updated with the latest case studies and field reports from his extensive global research program. The programs focus on three areas of your immediate future – what’s next for your customers, your company and the world. Each program can be delivered as either a one hour keynote, or an extended half day workshop with interactive exercises.
Welcome to the Revolution. The balance of power has shifted and consumers have taken control. To win the hearts and minds of tomorrow’s customers requires new mindsets, new tools and a new set of maps to navigate the behavioural patterns of a global generation born mobile.
Based on Mike Walsh’s best selling book, FUTURETAINMENT is a fast paced tour of the latest technologies, global trends, and case studies that will forever change the way you think about your relationship with your customers.
What does it take to lead a 21st century company? New technology is not only an opportunity to improve productivity, it invites us to ask a much bigger question – can we re-imagine the way we do business?
Forces of change surround us. Whether it be generational turnover, the Cloud, mobile work, or the rise of the social enterprise – the companies that thrive in the near future will be the ones that not only embrace change but are the first to break the rules.
With original consumer market research, practical evaluations of next generational enterprise tools and case studies from some of the world’s most innovative firms – you will have everything you need to start thinking like a FLEX firm.
There is a new war coming – over the future’s most valuable asset. Big Data, once just the domain of technology professionals, will soon be the number one issue for all business leaders.
Consumers are producing more of it, marketers are starting to leverage it, and governments are seeking to control it – and most importantly, business leaders will be asked to make decisions based on it.
With original research, practical evaluations of disruptive strategies and case studies from some of the world’s most innovative firms, Mike Walsh’s keynote presentation will give you the roadmap you need to set your Big Data strategy in place for 2013.
Social unrest, economic turmoil, rapid technological change – we live in a world seemingly dominated by crisis. And yet if you look more closely, you may also see a different set of patterns giving rise to new markets, new consumers and new ways to do business.
The future is already here, you just need to know where to look. From disruptive mobile technology from China to India’s low cost business models, next generation mobile banking in Africa and social consumerism in South America – innovation is shifting to a new geography.
How we interact, transact and entertain ourselves in the future will be shaped by a billion new consumers from emerging markets. WORLD NEXT is your roadmap to understanding and accessing the growth potential of tomorrow’s world.

Extract of sample "The ecffect of 1080 use in new zealand forest management"
Download file to see previous pages These conditions made it possible for possum s to thrive, with estimates placing their numbers to about 60-70 million in the 1980s (Montague et al, 2000).
A number of issues have arisen since the introduction of possums in New Zealand, one of them being the resultant competition for food resources with other animals. Due to their large numbers, they consume plenty of native plants and animal species in the New Zealand forests and suburban areas. They prey on birds, lizards and insects, feeding on their young ones and eggs. They can also carry and transmit the Bovine Tuberculosis disease, bringing about health concerns for humans. In 1947, the government of New Zealand officially recognized the Australian brush-tailed possum as a pest. The National Possums Control Agencies (NPC A) was formed to coordinate efforts of bringing the menace under control.
Methods that have been devised and applied to control possums in New Zealand include hunting, using traps and poison. These methods are environmental free. They never cause any harm to other species. Despite the controversy surrounding some of the methods, efforts to control possums have been regarded as successful. The number of possums in New Zealand reduced to about 30 million according to figures submitted to the National Possum Control Agencies conference (Landcare Research, 2009).

Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas! Given the holidays, this is a pretty slow week for Rust development. Some team members are still making commits, however, I wouldn’t hold your breathe for an update before Santa comes.
The game is in a pretty good state. No crashes in days, performance is smooth. Unfortunately, load times are getting out of hand after about 2 days of running (taking minutes in some cases). Also, the invisible building peice bug is still in play meaning some people can just waltz into certain houses. Remember, put your cupboards and valuables up high and make sure no one can just walk up from your first floor! For full details on the state of the game, please see my previous post).
I'm out of town celebrating Christmas with my family so don’t expect much in the form of updates in the next couple days. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

Stone Cloud Design Build specializes in quality design and construction of custom homes in Denver, Colorado. The firm was founded on the concept of creating unique dwellings that challenge viewers to see our houses from a different perspective, as art that stands the test of time. Each of our designs is as unique as our clients, integrating stunning aesthetic with functionality, which when combined with our clients' own needs and desires, results in a high quality custom home that will itself be an inimitable piece of art.
I work with many of the biggest builders in the Denver metro area and simply put Stone Cloud is one of the finest builders in the Denver. The attention to detail is second to none with their unique design approaches and styles that still keep with the flow of the their standout homes. Professional staff from in house Architect to project managers. Excellent builders.
I had a minor dispute w/the owner of StoneCloud during construction of a neighbor's project. I addressed my concern to the owner Bryan, he listened to what I had to say, addressed the issue and resolved it to my satisfaction quickly. I highly recommend Byran and StoneCloud as general contractors; and, Bryan is a gentleman w/integrity as well.
Stone cloud is very professional, easy to work with and has exceptional attention to detail. I would recommend Bryan and his team to anyone looking to build or remodel!
We had purchased a newly built home by Stone Cloud in October 2014. We had seen in person almost 100 homes, and this home by far had the best quality construction and design out of all of them. They did a great job with everything from the tiles in the bathroom to the stones in the outdoor fireplace. Moreover, they were great with following through with our punch list items after we had moved in. If we were to ever build a new home from the ground up in Denver, we would definitely choose Stone Cloud.
Great experience from beginning to the end. Hands on through the entire process!!! Pride in the creative process . Bryan treats the house like it is his own from the beginning to the end and beyond! the logo is my house and the picture does not to justice to the project.
Great builder, great people. Bryan and his crew build fantastic homes for it's customers and utilize the latest building techniques and materials to not only make them look great, but also make them work great. You will not be disappointed in Stone Cloud.
The quality of their work is of the highest caliber and just as important (if not more) their customer service, knowledge of building and professionalism is phenomenal. They take the greatest pride in their work and it shows in the product they deliver.
We've had the pleasure of landscaping several properties that Stone Cloud has dreamed up in the Washington Park Area of Denver. This builder designs and builds some of the best and unique new homes in this area and I've been fascinated at how often I see their signs and projects pop up in Wash Park. Clients always seem to befriend these guys during and after the project, and for good reason.
Stone Cloud is hands-down an awesome builder! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build a high quality home. They are honest, reliable, and they take a lot of pride in their work. I've worked with a couple builders on different projects in the Denver area and Stone Cloud was by far the best. Our home turned out more amazing than we could have ever imagined!
The Stone Cloud team gets it right. With their unwavering dedication to master craftsmanship, creative approach and keen design eye, they are a great choice in the Denver market if you are looking to create a home that is both warm and refined.

Have you ever wondered why some teams win and others lose? Some teams have individuals that on paper should win. They are individually talented and well educated. Their individual IQ is off the charts. However, when they come together they don’t perform very well. Why is this?
Google was wondering the same thing and set out to analyze the data to find out. What they found out was really simple. Teams that consistently performed at the highest levels had nothing to do with the talent on the team. It had everything to do with the cultural norms of the team. It boils down to three things; Vision, Traction, and Healthy.
The data shows that teams who are extraordinarily healthy outperformed their peers. So what does healthy mean in the context of high performing teams?
Healthy teams have a high level of psychological safety. Meaning the team is open and honest with one another. They are willing to be themselves and take risks. They fully trust one another and reveal their authentic selves. The result is a complete even exchange of dialogue.
These healthy teams are not dominated by a single leader in meetings or conversations. Every member contributes equally. Essentially, every team member takes the mantle of leadership depending on the topic or area of expertise.
Secondly, these high performing teams have a high level of clarity and accountability in their roles. In other words, they have clearly defined roles and expectations for performance. They have systems and structures in place to drive the business forward.
Lastly, they have a shared vision. They know where they are going and how they will get there. The team shares an inspiring view of the future and know what success looks like.
In summary, teams that score high on Vision, Traction and Healthy become high performing teams regardless of individual intellect. Collectively, teams that share a vision, have discipline with accountability and are very cohesive and healthy outperform everyone else.
The Entrepreneurial Operating System™ is a complete system, with real-world, simple tools to help you and your leadership team to become high-performing.
If you want to know more about Optimize for Growth and EOS® contact us and we will be more than willing to help you build a great team.

In Q1 of 2017 we published our first APT Trends report, highlighting our top research findings over the last few months. We will continue to publish quarterly reports as a representative snapshot of what has been offered in greater detail in our private reports in order to highlight significant events and findings we feel most users should be aware of. If you would like to learn more about our intelligence reports or request more information for a specific report, readers are encouraged to contact: intelreports@kaspersky.com.
The second quarter of 2017 has seen multiple incidents involving Russian-speaking threat actors. Topping the list of ‘attention grabbers’ were the Sofacy and Turla threat actors.
March and April started off with a bang, with the discovery of three zero-day exploits being used in-the-wild by Sofacy and Turla: two of these targeted Microsoft Office’s Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) and the third being a Microsoft Windows Local Privilege Escalation (LPE). Sofacy was discovered utilizing both CVE-2017-0262 (an EPS vulnerability) and CVE-2017-0263 (LPE) over the Easter holiday, targeting a swath of users throughout Europe. Prior to this attack, Turla was also discovered using CVE-2017-0261 (a different EPS vulnerability). Neither actor appeared to deviate from their usual payload repertoire, with Sofacy dropping their typical GAMEFISH payload and Turla utilizing what we refer to as ICEDCOFFEE (a.k.a. Shirime). Targeting for these attacks was also directly within the normal wheelhouse for both actors, focusing mainly on foreign ministries, governments, and other government-affiliated organizations.
GReAT produced additional reports on Sofacy and Turla beyond those mentioned above. In April, we notified customers of two new experimental macro techniques utilized by Sofacy. These techniques, while not particularly sophisticated, caught our attention as they had not been seen before in-the-wild. The first technique involved using the built-in ‘certutil’ utility in Microsoft Windows to extract a hardcoded payload within a macro. The second technique involved embedding Base64-encoded payloads within the EXIF metadata of the malicious documents. While the targeting for this new set of activity was again fairly standard, we discovered some noteworthy targeting against a French political party member prior to the 2017 elections. Moving into May and June, we wrote two additional reports of interest involving these two actors: the first was an update on the long running “Mosquito Turla” campaign showing the usage of fake Adobe Flash installers and continued targeting of foreign Ministries. The other documented yet another update on Sofacy’s unique Delphi payload we call ‘Zebrocy’.
June saw the massive outbreak of a piece of malware dubbed “ExPetr”. While initial assessments presumed that this was yet another ransomware attack à la WannaCry, a deeper assessment by GReAT places the initial intent as constituting an operation destructive in nature. We were also able to confidently identify the initial distribution of the malware, as well as indicate a low confidence assessment that the attacks may share traits with the BlackEnergy actors.
Below is a summary of report titles produced for the Eastern European region only. As stated above, if you would like to learn more about our threat intelligence products or request more information on a specific report, please direct inquiries to intelreports@kaspersky.com.
English-speaking actors are always particularly fascinating due to their history of complex tooling and campaigns. Actors like Regin and Project Sauron have proven fascinating examples of new techniques leveraged in long-lasting, hard to catch campaigns and as such make ideal subjects for further research. Not to be outdone, Equation and the Lamberts were the subjects of our most recent investigations.
Continuing our practice of conducting malware paleontology while integrating new discoveries, we published a report on EQUATIONVECTOR, an Equation backdoor first used as early as 2006. This backdoor is a fascinating passive-active shellcode staging implant. It’s one of the earliest noted instances of a NObody But US (‘NOBUS’) backdoor for staging further attacks. Despite its age, the EQUATIONVECTOR backdoor (identified as ‘PeddleCheap’ in the latest ShadowBrokers disclosures) incorporates many advanced techniques for prolonged stealthy operations in victim networks, allowing the Equation operators to deliver further payloads without arousing suspicion. The report tracks the development of these tools through subsequent iterations year-by-year.
Our researchers focusing on attacks with a Korean nexus also had a very busy quarter, producing seven reports on the Lazarus group and WannaCry attacks. Most of the reports on Lazarus directly involved a sub-group we refer to as BlueNoroff. They are the arm that focuses mainly on financial gain, targeting banks, ATMs, and other “money-makers”. We revealed to customers a previously unknown piece of malware dubbed ‘Manuscrypt’ used by Lazarus to target not only diplomatic targets in South Korea, but also people using virtual currency and electronic payment sites. Most recently, ‘Manuscrypt’ has become the primary backdoor used by the BlueNoroff sub-group to target financial institutions.
While there wasn’t much high-end activity involving Middle Eastern actors, we did produce two reports revolving around the use of a zero-day exploit (CVE-2017-0199). The most notable involved an actor we refer to as BlackOasis and their usage of the exploit in-the-wild prior to its discovery. We have previously reported on BlackOasis using other zero-days in the past; CVE-2016-4117 in May 2016, CVE-2016-0984 in June 2015, and CVE-2015-5119 in June 2015. It is believed that BlackOasis is a customer of Gamma Group and utilizes the popular ‘lawful surveillance’ kit FinSpy. Other than the usage of the exploit, this report was significant because it also showed one of the earliest known uses of a new version of FinSpy, which is still being analyzed by our researchers.
After the discovery of CVE-2017-0199, a plethora of threat actors also began to leverage this exploit in their attacks. We reported to customers on the usage of this exploit by a well-known Middle Eastern actor dubbed ‘OilRig’. OilRig has actively targeted many organizations in Israel with the exploit via spearphishes appearing to originate from well-known doctors within Ben Gurion University. While their execution was less than stellar, it highlighted the widespread usage of this exploit shortly after its discovery.
On the Chinese speaking front, we felt it necessary to produce two reports to our customers. While Chinese speaking actors are active on a daily basis, not much has changed and we prefer to avoid producing reports on ‘yet another instance of APTxx’ for the sake of padding our numbers. Instead we try to focus on new and exciting campaigns that warrant special attention.
One of those reports detailed a new finding regarding a fileless version of the well-known ‘HiKit’ malware dubbed ‘Hias’. We have reported on Hias in the past, and one of our researchers was finally able to discover the persistence mechanism used, which also allowed us to tie the activity to an actor we call ‘CloudComputating’.
Another report detailed a new campaign we referred to as ‘IndigoZebra’. This campaign was targeting former Soviet Republics with a wide swath of malware including Meterpreter, Poison Ivy, xDown, and a previously unknown malware called ‘xCaon’. This campaign shares ties with other well-known Chinese-speaking actors, but no definitive attribution has been made at this time.
Sometimes we find new and exciting campaigns or entirely new threat actors to report to our subscribers without being able to make an immediate or definitive determination on regional provenance. Several reports fell into this category in the last quarter. ChasingAdder is a report describing a new persistence technique that hijacked a legitimate WMI DLL for the purposes of loading a malicious payload. This activity targeted high-profile diplomatic, military, and research organizations beginning in the fall of 2016, but to date we have not been able to pinpoint the specific actor responsible.
Demsty is a new piece of MacOS malware that is targeting University researchers in Hong Kong, among others. At the time of writing, we have a low confidence assessment that the campaign was conducted by Chinese-speaking actors, and thus categorize this as ‘Unknown’ until greater evidence comes to light.
During Q2, the mischievous ShadowBrokers also continued their regular activities dumping multiple tools and documentation allegedly stolen from Equation Group. In April, the ShadowBrokers released another dump of information detailing the alleged targeting of SWIFT service bureaus and other banks by Equation Group. Since some of our customers are financial entities, we found it necessary to evaluate the data and provide an expert’s opinion on the validity of the dump.
Misinformation campaigns will remain a threat to countries with upcoming elections, specifically Germany and Norway, as they have been previous targets for Eastern European based actors.
‘Lawful Surveillance’ tools will continue to be utilized by governments that don’t have well-established Cyber Operations capabilities, mainly based out of the Middle East. Companies such as Gamma Group, Hacking Team, and NSO will continue to offer new zero-day exploits to those customers. As prices increase and exchanges thrive, new organizations and marketplaces will continue popping up.
Destructive malware disguised as ransomware will continue to be a problem. In the last quarter we’ve seen two instances of this, and with the continued release of tools / exploits from dumps like Vault7 and ShadowBrokers, this is going to be a new alarming trend to deal with.
In China, the past months have been marked by the dwindling economic growth, rising tensions with North Korea and the US, and increased exchanges between South Korean / Japanese / American organizations. In addition to these, the 19th Party Congress is set to be held in the fall of 2017 and according to multiple public predictions, it is likely that some major changes will happen in the leadership. It’s possible that these events will have wide regional influences that could affect the way that threat actors operate in Asia, both in terms of targeting and TTPs.
Targeting energy-related companies and organizations will be on the rise. Countries such as Norway may be a top target moving forward given their control on oil and gas in the region in the buildup to an election. Saudi Arabia will also top the charts for potential targeting as they have in years past.
Lower-tier threat actors continue to increase cyber-espionage efforts and capabilities both in complexity and size. Expect more activity with varied technical capabilities coming from lesser known or previously unseen actors.
One of the biggest problems when it comes to leveraging threat intelligence is judging the quality of the data and how it can be used for defense. For instance, we may observe an increase in the number of fileless attacks or attacks in which all IOCs are unique or specific per victim. In such situations, having not only host-based IOCs, but also network IOCs and Yara rules that can help identify malware in all cases is very important.
Another problem comes from the fact that many threat intelligence providers have a limited world view and their data covers only a small set of threats. It’s easy for an enterprise to fall into the trap of thinking that ‘actor X’ is not something they need to worry because their focus has been only certain countries or certain industry sectors; only to discover later that their ignorance left them blind to those attacks.
As shown by many incidents, but especially by WannaCry and ExPetr’s EternalBlue-based spreading subroutines, vulnerabilities remain a key approach to infecting systems. Therefore timely patching is of utmost importance – which, being one of the most tedious IT maintenance tasks, works much better with good automation. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Advanced and Kaspersky Total Security include Vulnerability & Patch management components, offering convenient tools for making patching much easier, and much less time-consuming for IT staff.
Given the above, it is highly recommended that prevention (such as endpoint protection) along with advanced detection capabilities, such as a solution that can detect all types of anomalies and scrutinize suspicious files at a deeper level, be present on users’ systems. The Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack solution (KATA) matches events coming from different infrastructure levels, discerns anomalies and aggregates them into incidents, while also studying related artifacts in a safe environment of a sandbox. As with most Kaspersky products, KATA is powered by HuMachine Intelligence, which is backed by on premise and in lab-running machine learning processes coupled with real-time analyst expertise and our understanding of threat intelligence big data.
The best way to prevent attackers from finding and leveraging security holes, is to eliminate the holes altogether, including those involving improper system configurations or errors in proprietary applications. For this, Kaspersky Penetration Testing and Application Security Assessment services can become a convenient and highly effective solution, providing not only data on found vulnerabilities, but also advising on how to fix it, further strengthening corporate security.

Having worked for more than a decade in the book retail and publishing industry in the field of Information Technology and Social Media I have developed a keen passion for Photography, Blogging, and Travelling. It all started with photography when I was in college, those were the days of film photography and you had to think twice before pressing that shutter button as there was no preview and a second shot was always not feasible considering the cost.
The habit of photography made me into a traveller and over a decade of travelling has taken me right across India to Africa to Europe. Right from snow-capped Himalayan range to the grasslands of Masai Mara to the Sistine Chapel.
Next came the food, travelling to new place meant tasting new cuisine and this made me start documenting them in my blogs. I have eaten ants to animals that I cannot mention and people often find them not fit for consumption. This had to be done just to experience the place and its people from the heart and not just as a traveller.
This blog was originally started in the year 2007 but then I was never a serious blogger and it’s only for the last four years that I have been blogging regularly and trying to document all the things that I have seen and that I am going to see.
Hope you enjoy going through the blog and please do comment or write back, it really feels nice that someone actually is finding my blog interesting.

I was talking to some friends today while doing my weekly school volunteer stint, about what it is like to be an adult. We weren’t being particularly serious or philosophical. Mostly joking about how we used to yearn to be an adult, and how the things we saw adults do seem magic. We used to want to drive the car. Now its a chore. And we didn’t realize what it meant to pay the bills.
With all of this responsibility, you’d think we felt like adults. But the thing is, we’re the same kids we used to be, we just have to do all this stuff! There was no line that said: now I am grown up. And it’s hard.
I moved out of the house. Nope, not grown up yet because I’m just taking care of myself, barely. Going to school, don’t have a house, still get care boxes that have food and money and my easter present tucked into them.
I got married. Not grown up yet, because I’m still in school and we’re just renting, and I still like ketchup on my eggs.
I got pregnant and had a kid. You’d think this should make me grown up, because now my husband and I are entirely responsible for a child. But we don’t know what the heck we’re doing and we’re scared. Excited and happy, but really feeling our ignorance and lack of experience right now.
More children, now they’re going to school, we bought a house… And somewhere in there, I became an adult. Maybe it was when I realized I disagreed with how the local school system thought I should educate my child. And when I did find a good school system, and realized I was older than some of my kids’ teachers. A lot of me identifying as an adult was when I had to interact with other adults on behalf of my child.
More recently, the last person in my grandparents’ generation died. I have an aunt who has passed away as well, from complications of a stroke. My parents are grandparents of a college aged child. I’m the parent of that child.
But still, sometimes, we joke that we’re just pretending to be adults so that our children, and maybe other adults, will respect us. We’re competent, we can do the things expected of us and that we need to do. But the child we were never left. It just learned how to do all the grown up things. We looked behind the curtain and found the wizard, who was really an eccentric with a lot of machines. And now we’re the ones behind the curtain, pushing the buttons and pulling on the levers.

One thing that many people fail to pay attention to is the amount of water they drink. A study conducted within the last year found that as many as half of all children and adolescents in the U.S. are not getting enough water. Using the word “dehydrated” may sound kind of serious but believe it or not, every time you start feeling thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Not drinking enough water may not sound like a big deal, but letting dehydration get out of control can result in serious consequences and even land you in the hospital! While the amount of water each one of us requires every day will vary a bit, here are some important sings to be aware of that may be your body’s way of telling you that you need to drink more.
This one should be pretty obvious, but more people than you might think ignore it because they are so busy with other things. It’s always best to go get yourself a drink as soon as you start noticing that your mouth feels dry because it is one way your body uses to tell you that you are getting dehydrated. Most people can avoid this by keeping water close by and staying hydrated throughout the entire day.
You probably wouldn't be visiting this site if you did not have some concerns about your health. If you haven't already, why don't you make today the first day you start on your journey to better health? There's no greater gift you can give yourself that's more valuable that good health. You can everything else you want, but without your health, what good is it?

Hillary Clinton pronounced Pepé to be a scary 'racist' symbol in order to smear Trump supporters during last year's presidential race. It didn't work and Pepé is not a symbol of the 'alt right' simply because she said so. He's a vehicle used to express many emotions and political beliefs, but Hillary pompously appointed herself as the Commissar of Hate Speech and tried to kill off Pepé. She failed.
Pepé is a meme that can't be eliminated with an official declaration or wave of a hand from some 'authority.' He's part of the public domain of free speech. Praise Kek.

On the first appointment a full mouth exam will be completed with a complete medical and dental history. You’ll receive X-rays and possibly a CT scan, which will give the dentist a good idea of your bone density and the shape of your jaw. Finally, you’ll discuss the options available to you and be educated by the dental staff about the whole implant procedure. They’ll discuss if you’d be a good candidate for a dental implant. You must also commit to a meticulous oral hygiene regime with regular dental visits.
Finding out if you’re a good candidate for dental implants begins with a simple step. With motivation, care and willingness, dental implants can give the confidence and security to last a lifetime.
Dental implants are the most exciting innovation that ever happened in dentistry. With dental implants, missing teeth can be restored to their most natural condition. Dental implants are usually made of a highly bio-compatible material called titanium and are in the shape of cylinder or screw. The normal length of a dental implant is in the range of 10-14 mm (1 inch is 24 mm), and the usual diameter is 3.5-6 mm. However, dental implants as short as 5 mm and as long as 17-18 mm are also available.
Enough bone to anchor the implants in the jaw – A dentist can evaluate the bone structure and recommend treatment options.
Be committed to taking very good care of the implanted teeth and surrounding gums — Daily brushing and flossing are essential.

July 2018 – Teach. Brian. Teach.
I’ve been doing some reorganizing of my blog to make resources I’ve developed and shared over the years more readily available.
I am continuing to reflect and write about my ideas leading into PERC 2018: So far I’ve written two posts about teaching and learning in ways that involve positioning students’ as authors of scientific ideas that can serve as resources for learning.
I’ll start with here with this notion: Having routines (and a culture) in your class where students regularly make their thinking visible is great, in part, because it provides opportunities for you as the teacher to encounter students’ spontaneous thinking about the content you aim to teach. This is probably the main way that teachers learn to hear and see their students’ ideas as wonderful and to see them as resources for learning.
When I was first teaching, it was easiest to see students’ thinking as being useful for learning when it neatly fit some correct aspect of my own understanding. For example, in my first year teaching here at MTSU, “Ashley’s conjecture” was an idea from one of classes about how, in free-fall, the speed on the way up and down might be same at as the object passes through the same location. With Ashley’s conjecture, we set about working problems to see if it was always true (gaining trust) and even later revisited the idea in when learning about energy. Toward the end of the semester, Stan, a student from Ashley’s group even made it the focus of an independent project later in the semester. In the introductory motivation for the project, Stan writes in a way about his project that touches upon his own epistemic agency and its embedded-ness within our class.
In both cases, instead of telling students they were right, I made time in class to investigate these claims (I knew to be correct) and in doing so this lent students’ some agency and authorship over ideas from class by “naming” their ideas and making space for us to either investigate or make continual use of these ideas.
Where we can go from here?
The above ways of listening and responding to students’ thinking was (and is) a good start, but there is also a sense in which it is quite limited. Ashley and Cherish in my classes were proposing ideas that sounded very much like ideas that I had knew to be consistent with the body of knowledge we aimed to learn. For these reasons, it was easy for me to understand their ideas, and to recognize their utility and respond positively, and also to imagine ways of taking up their ideas that would advance the entire’s class understanding. I’m not saying this is totally easy – for sure, you have to already have routines and culture in place where students’ share their thinking, plus successful talk moves that help elevate students’ thinking as ideas for consideration. This is no easy task, in part, because many of us had little training, mentoring, and apprenticeship into how to do this. I’ve written about why it’s so hard to do this before in a post on talk moves.
In a follow up post, what I aim to do is further explore the complexity of taking up of students’ ideas from class, especially in regards to situations where students offer ideas (that can be useful resources for furthering understanding), but their ideas are not just simply made as statements that you as the physics teacher would recognize as correct.
I have posted these on twitter in the past, but I don’t think it’s ever made it to my blog. I have come to see asking students these types of questions as really important (for students and me). For students, pausing to think about what has been interesting helps make things more interesting. For me, I get insight into what stands out to students in a unit. In addition to reading quizzes that include these types of questions, I used to ask these on every exam. I’d like to get to asking about them on exams. I actually feel like asking it on exam is more important.
In this blogpost, I continue to write about my thinking going into the 2018 Physics Education Research Conference.
I’ll start by saying this. It can be hard to have it both ways: I want my students to have a degree of epistemic agency in the construction of their own personally-meaningful, scientific knowledge. And I want my students to develop robust understandings of established scientific concepts as a body of knowledge. Trying to do so is fraught with uncertainty.
I could go into more detail concerning other necessary anchor points, but the point is that I try to carve out the aspects of an understanding which are “must haves” for my students as we learn about a topic or concept. I carefully prepare, plan, and scaffold for these as anchors for students in the body of scientific knowledge.
The second part is to then build pedagogical space for others aspects of the content that will remain more open–that is, I expect there to be territory in landscape of understanding (that needs exploring) but does not need to be explored in a particular way that I prescribe in advance. Rather, it is more important that students meaningfully explore the territory around and in between the anchors I help us to forge.
In my previous post about N2nd Law, the open territory my students explored around these anchors concerned questions like, “Why does constant force produce constant acceleration?” This particular year, students explored this space in a particular way that involved thinking about the details of what happens to the degree of compression between two objects as they press into each other and they get away. It is often tempting the following year to try to make this conversation happen again, but I am learning that this is not the goal. Sure, knowing that this conversation can happen, should leave me better prepared to notice it as a possibility, but it need not become a new “anchor point” that I prescribe. Instead, to keep the space alive as a open territory for sense-making is to help students explore that space (meaningfully in a broad sense), and that will vary from year to year.
Other semesters this conversation has gone in different directions–for example one year my students explored the space by more carefully thinking about friction vs. non-friction. Students introduced the idea of a “lurch” –what happens when you push an object against some rough surface and it doesn’t go until it suddenly does; and how with the hover pucks and low-friction carts there is no “lurch”. The hover pucks and carts just start going. The lack of a lurch was how students made sense of why a constant force produces constant acceleration.
While different educators are likely to disagree about what exactly should be the anchors and what exactly should be the open territory, the practice of carving out the two is I think critical for navigating the tensions described above.
So what’s the point? I think one of the main points here is that careful instructional planning is required for both the meaningful establishing of anchors and the exploration of open territory. I know that this should not not surprising to anyone who aims to teach this way–thinking about improvisational acting / music or even wandering in the woods / city benefit immensely from careful planning and knowledge of anchor points that provide structure, but also allowing space and time for exploring the territory around these anchor points. Said another way, filling your travel schedule completely full both day and night does not readily allow for opportunistic explorations–all you can to is keep onto the prescribe path. As a teacher, what I have found is that this way of thinking about concepts (i.e., anchors and territories) provides me with tools for planning and carrying out instruction in ways that lessens some of the tension between discovery and coverage.
Foot Note: I sort of steal this language from this paper, and while I think my sentiment here shares some overlap with the meanings developed in this paper, I know that it is not a one-to-one correspondence.
Is there room for wonderful student ideas within the canon of introductory physics?
Introductory physics courses often come with constraints that make them less than the ideal setting for responsive teaching efforts that aim to support students in having wonderful ideas of their own. In this talk, I present cases of students having wonderful ideas in introductory physics courses for the purpose of providing rich illustrations of how wonderful ideas may emerge when parts of the canon are opened up for student sense-making. I follow up with a discussion of how such moments benefit from careful instructional planning and curriculum design that are aimed at supporting both traditional and non-traditional outcomes.
Historically, research identifying student ideas in physics has focused on what student misunderstandings, misconceptions, or difficulties. This work has supported the development of curriculum that elicits and addresses these misunderstandings and has informed instructors’ knowledge of student ideas. More recently, research has begun to systematically identify student conceptual resources for understanding physics — that is, the productive “beginnings” of physics that students bring to bear as they learn. This session showcases some of this research, highlighting a range of samples (K-12 students, university students, and teacher-learners) and physics topics (thermal physics, energy, electricity and magnetism, and pressure).
The question by itself isn’t all that amazing, but the timing of the question in our curriclulum seems to make for a good conversation, so it’s relevant to know the background.
First: by the time I am asking this question to students, they will have spent a lot of time with velocity-vs-time graphs– they are embedded into many exercises, clicker questions, card sorting tasks, example problems, quantitative problems, and lab activities. All students would have some familiarity, most students would be al least proficient, and some quite adept.
Second: This question comes at the end of day focused on helping to define and investigate what forces are–with careful attention to the mechanisms by which various contact forces arise.
Within this context, the students in my class one semester discussed the above question and over a period of time ended up convincing each other that the only reasonable outcome was for the hover puck to continually speed up.
1st: When you press your finger against the hover puck, it’s going to have to speed up a bit as it to starts to move.
3rd: As the puck gets away from you (even just a little bit), the amount of pressure against the puck goes down. Your finger isn’t as squished into it as much.
4th: Thus, in order to maintain the same amount of pressure, you have to speed up with the puck. You have to keep up in order keep the same level of squish.
5th: Once you are moving along with the puck again and you are again pressing into; the puck again tries to get away, speeding away from you.
6th: So, as long as you keep pressing against the puck (and don’t let it get away from you), the puck is going to just keep speeding up (because you keep pressing into it).
7th: Of course, this will be hard to do, because you are going to have keep speeding up with the puck to maintain the pressure, but if you can keep the pressure up, the puck will keep on speeding.
We ended up doing these experiments out in the hallway with hover pucks, and then again more carefully in the classroom with fan carts and motion detectors. The fan cart was introduced basically as a technique for maintaining a more steady pressure –> the argument being that the cart can’t get away from the fan (or the air). That is the fan could do a better job of keeping the pressure constant. This is what allowed us to decide that the answer was A (constant force –> constant acceleration).
III. Why Tell this Story Again?
It’s true that I’ve written about this specific class discussion before, but I’ve been wanting to return to it again, because it’s a story with lots of interesting aspects that has stuck with me.
First, it’s important to note what the question did NOT ask. The question did not say, “A constant force acts on an object…” Instead, by keeping the focus on constant pressure (here meant in our class informally as a degree of squish), it helped students to attend to that aspect of the mechanism. This was additionally supported due to fact that we had spent entire day looking at the details of these types of interactions. Generally, however, students’ concept of “force” could more easily anchor to other aspects of the motion–> for example it would be common for students to attach constancy to some other aspect like the “speed of the pushing” is constant or the “effort of the pushing” is constant. rather than the constancy pertaining to a degree of squish between the finger and puck.
Second, my previous experience, with physics education and my own teaching, had always been more focused on using these conversations as more of a lead into to getting students to meaningfully consider the observations. That is, the conversation guides students to think about what they think, make a prediction, and then see how the observations compare to what they thought. Lots of good research to support the notion that this type of prior engagement with the ideas (predicting and discussing) is critical to creating the conditions in which students will actually be able to understand and learn from such observations. Here, however, students did not arrive at the conclusion that “constant push causes endless speeding up” through direct observation, but rather through thought-experiment. This is more akin to the kinds of reasoning we liken to scientist such as Galileo and Einstein.
Taken together, this kind of learning is a glimpse of the kind of teaching that I was apprenticed into while at the University of Maryland–one that aims to value helping students to build on and refine their own “sense of mechanism“, to “shop for ideas” in their experience, and to engage in a process of seeking out “coherent explanations” for phenomena. To a significant degree, for me and others, this kind of teaching has been easier to take up in courses that live outside the standard introductory physics course sequence and are perhaps less tethered to the canon of introductory (see here, for example). It is certainly more challenging in many contexts where pace and content can pull you more strongly away from commitments to teaching in this manner (and supporting learning in this manner).
IV. How does this connect with PERC Sessions?
My talk at PERC will be on the topic of to what extent this kind of teaching / learning can find space in the standard introductory curriculum–where students are supported in having and developing scientific ideas that are not precisely predetermined. While in this lesson, I planned for and knew that we would be making progress toward learning Newton’s 2nd law, I did not know in advance that the specific understanding that would emerged would be built around ideas like “pressing against something leads to it trying to get away” and “getting away involves both speeding up and a lessening of pressure”.
These specific student ideas are (I think) the types of ideas that are the focus on the Symposium I am moderating– researchers whose goal is to identify ideas that students have that can serve as “resources” for making progress in learning specific scientific ideas (rather than, for example, researchers whose goal might be to identify misconceptions or student difficulties). One of the challenges I see for these researchers doing the work is to meaningfully situate the resources they identify in ways that give them “life” such that teachers can see their continuity with the actual practice of teaching. In the story above about my students, I would hope that readers get a feel for what these students ideas actually were and how these ideas actually served as resources for making progress in learning Newton’s 2nd law. Pivoting from the Symposium to my own talk, my talk will focus on how such moments of teaching and learning benefit from instructional planning and preparation (even if you necessarily cannot prepare and plan for some of the details of what exactly is the form of students’ understanding will that emerge).

Nickel sulfide ores, mined to produce concentrates for the nickel smelting infrastructure, are becoming lower in grade and with increasingly complex mineralogy. Metallurgists have been able to adapt standard processing flow sheets to cope with the processing of these ores, but sometimes with only limited success.
Our metallurgical team recently developed a new set of process conditions that dramatically improves the flotation and separation of nickel sulfides from problematic gangue minerals, in particular talc. This has allowed nickel concentrate of good grade, at acceptable recoveries, with impurities (such as MgO) at levels acceptable to smelters.
This process chemistry driven approach has yielded some impressive results and opens up an opportunity, through further development to process ores currently considered untreatable.
Subsequent to financing, this R&D Initiative can quickly deliver results. It builds on the sum of experiences already acquired by Strategic Metallurgy on this topic.
A joint budget of $900,000 is expect to be require in order to bring this initiative to the pre-commercial deployment stage.
Multiple potential applications that can open new ore body (difficult ones) opportunities.
Financing bottom line improvement for current producers with improved recuperation rates.
Environmental benefits of better metal separation in the early phase of the recovery process (Less chemical, less energy).

Astrid Lindgren, the much loved author of childens books died on Jan 28 2002. Jaan Suurkula sent a note on Feb 1 suggesting that the GCP might show a response, since she was a world figure, important to children and the grownups they come to be. She died a little before noon on Monday the 28th.
Jaan wrote, "She is perhaps most known for "Pippi Longstocking" but has altogether written over 80 books, many of which were bestsellers. She was one of the 12 most read authors in the world and was translated to 80 languages on all continents and won many prizes. She was very much loved by former and present children on all contintents."
In the prediction registry we indicate that she apparently died before noon local time (GMT+1), on 28 January 2002. The announcements to the media came between 12 and 1pm. The length of the prediction segment was set as four hours, from 11:00 to 15:00 GMT, covering the time a little before she died to a few hours after, during which the first news spread around the world. The standard Stouffer Z analysis result is Chi-square 14513 on 14400 df, and p = 0.253. The following figure shows what the 46 active eggs around the world did during this time.

A hungry hound which guzzled down five golf balls over the course of several months had to undergo major abdominal surgery in one of the most extraordinary cases vets had ever seen.
When Louis, the greedy springer spaniel labrador crossbreed, started violently throwing up and lost a dramatic amount of weight, owner Rebecca Miles took him to the vets.
But she was gobsmacked when the x-ray results revealed the five spherical objects lodged in the pooch's stomach.
And while the vets suspected that they may have been ping-pong balls, it immediately dawned on Rebecca that Louis must have started scoffing on their daily walks to the golf course near to their Birmingham home.
Rebecca said: 'The golf course is close to our home so we often walk near there.
'Louis loves playing fetch with his ball, although he would occasionally find golf balls as well, but he'd always drop them when asked and we'd put them in a safe place.
'I never imagined he had accidentally swallowed some of them.
For a number of months prior to their visit to the vet Louis was frequently being sick and had lost a lot of weight.
Rebecca said: 'When he initially became ill we changed his food and became much stricter with his diet.
'He always seemed lethargic at home but when we took him out for walks he was his usual bouncy self.
'When he continued being sick, we took him back to the vets.
'They suggested an x-ray and discovered what they thought were ping-pong balls, I knew immediately that they would be golf balls.
'It's such a relief to get to the bottom of it, have them removed and see Louis making a full recovery.
Rebecca said Louis was 'starving' as soon as the operation was over and that he wanted to 'eat everything in sight'.
His stitches are still healing and he won't be allowed off his lead on walks for a few weeks yet, Rebecca added.
Emily Moss, the veterinary surgeon at White Cross Vets who carried out the operation, described this case as 'one of the most unusual she has ever seen'.
She said: 'Louis has been incredibly lucky because swallowing one golf ball could be very dangerous let alone five.
'They showed up on the x-ray immediately and looked like ping pong balls but we could also see they were very dense.
'When Rebecca mentioned they often walk around the golf course it suggested only one thing.

I think it will just be easiest if I share the journaling right from my page.
Going from left to right. Matthew loves to make his own omelet. Isaac went with mom for a quick grocery trip, Abi and Isaac love to draw on the "new" white-board. Chinese dinner at home. Lots of painting this week. Date night for mom and dad, which included Larb at the local Thai restaurant and a quick trip to Wal-mart for some groceries!
Tuesday was our last day of school. Wednesday the kids had testing and then we went to lunch with Grandma to celebrate the end of the school year.
On Saturday Kyla and Matthew ran the Braveheart fun run. Matthew won 1st place for boys. Daddy, Ashlyn, Emmie and their friend, Maggie ran the 5k. They all did a great job.
That's it for this week. Are you keeping up with your scrapping goals?
I instantly fell in love with this page when I saw it in the SwL Gallery. I love her clustering. I especially love the repeated patterned paper on the top and bottom of the page. Even though there is a lot going on on this page it all comes together nicely. Great job Alyna!
Make sure to share your pages in my group. I love looking at them each week!
Week 23 was mostly about VBS (Vacation Bible School). We were at church every night teaching, learning and having fun. There was also dental visits for Abi and Isaac. They were so good and just too cute. Afterwards we went for shakes. Then there was a birthday party on Saturday.
Today I have some older Weekly Life spreads on sale, and also some NEW foodie word-art (which is also a sneak peek of what I have coming on Friday!). Enjoy the 50% SOSN discount on these products today only, June 14, 2017.
My team all used the Yummy! - Cut Outs as titles on their pages using Weekly Life Templates 6! Here are pages from Ophie, Dawn, and Donna.
And some of the TLP Creative Team Members scrapped these pages using the new Yummy Cut Outs.
Today I'm going to just copy and paste the journaling from my pages because my brain is too scattered to write anything new. That's what 7 kids will do to you!
This week started with a hike on Whiteside Mountain. It was our first real hike with Abi and Isaac. We had a picnic and stopped for ice cream when we were done. Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for a little Memorial Day cook out. The kids had fun roasting marshmallows with Grandpa.
We watched a friend and fellow homeschooler participate in the National Spelling Bee!
On Friday we went to the pool. It was Abi and Isaac's first time swimming. There was a little fiasco with some throw up and we had to sit out of the pool for an hour, but we managed and the kids had fun. On Saturday, after a bunch of yard work we went up to the creek and did a little tubing. The kids just love the water.
That's it for Week 22. It was a blast.
Today I have two different types of monthly review templates on sale. Enjoy the 50% SOSN discount on these products today only, June 7, 2017.
June Month in Review Template is a great double-page spread for scrapping an overall look at your month, or for scrapping an event with several supporting photos.
June Insta Review Template is another 2-pager with 24 small square photo spots. Great for scrapping a lot of different snapshots on a single page, especially your fun and quirky Instagram style shots.
Rebecca's photos and journaling hit the highlights of her month.
Christine used one half of the monthly review page to collect several actions shots of her kiddo playing in the mud.
