UVA Health System deploys always-connected telemedicine toolkits in ambulances for faster stroke care
Sponsored by Cradlepoint
University of Virginia Health System deploys iTREAT (Improving Treatment with Rapid Evaluation of Acute Stroke via Mobile Telemedicine) telemedicine toolkits in ambulances for stroke victims. With constant connectivity being an essential part of this innovative tool, UVA Health System chose Cradlepoint's ruggedized in-vehicle routing solutions with integrated 4G LTE modems. First responders now have a highly reliable, cost-effective toolkit that can save time, money, and lives.
University of Virginia Health System operates a hospital, level I trauma center, nationally recognized cancer and heart centers, and primary and specialty clinics throughout central Virginia. This award-winning organization's hospital employs nearly 7,000 people and has roughly 60,000 emergency visits per year.
UVA Health System developed a toolkit with telehealth capabilities that links field emergency professionals to the UVA emergency room while stroke victims are being transported via ambulance. Getting a neurological assessment started en route instead of after arrival at the hospital can save lives and prevent paralysis, speech, vision problems, and permanent disability.
The iTREAT toolkits — they include a tablet, high-speed modem, and portable magnetic mount antenna — are being implemented as a research protocol to test the feasibility of ambulance-based mobile telemedicine. Project leaders hypothesize that it will enhance prehospital diagnosis, emergency triage, treatment times, and patient outcomes. Early results for the study have been promising.
A live video link between the ambulance and specialists in the UVA emergency room is a ground-breaking addition — but it's only possible with a continuous high-speed connection. Along with reliable uptime, iTREAT project managers knew the toolkit would require:
- Excellent radio strength
- Robust antenna capabilities
- Portability and small form factor
- Durability
- Adaptability
- Scalability
- Quick and easy deployment
- Overall affordability
The health system considered using MiFi hotspots, but it was determined that these devices lacked the radio quality and strength, durability, reliability, and antenna capabilities necessary to meet iTREAT's needs.
UVA Health System selected Cradlepoint's ruggedized COR Series routers to facilitate reliable 4G LTE cellular broadband connectivity at a price that would enable deployment across rural and urban areas.
Radio Strength
Cradlepoint's COR Series routers feature an enterprise-grade, multi-carrier, software-defined radio that gives iTREAT the reliability and signal strength necessary for ambulances to stay connected even as they move between towers.
Cradlepoint devices are accompanied by screw-on antenna connectors for flexible antenna options — including omnidirectional antennas — which can greatly expand coverage radius. With the ability to extend antennas to outside the vehicle, fleet managers using COR Series routers can increase this radius even further.
Portability and Compact Size
The compact form factor of Cradlepoint's COR Series routers was an important element of UVA Health System being able to keep the total size of its iTREAT toolkit to 20 inches by 14 inches by 8 inches.
With metal housing, shock and vibration protection, and a built-in modem, the COR Series routers are ruggedized, which helps keep iTREAT running smoothly at all times.
"We do find that these kits get banged around a tremendous amount," said Brian Gunnell, Senior System Engineer, UVA Health System's Center for Telehealth.
Quick and Easy Deployment
This plug-and-play 4G LTE solution makes deployment as easy as possible. After installation, firmware upgrades can be done remotely via cloud management.
"It's been a straight forward process. A couple passwords here and there and we get it out," said Gunnell.
Using enterprise-grade cellular broadband through the highly affordable COR Series with an integrated modem helped UVA Health System cut the iTREAT toolkit's original projected cost in half. This cost-efficiency will prove important for deployment in rural areas as the project expands.

Yet they're not born, but rather made by the contingencies of their environment, one which is characterised by the agents of socialisation and plays an impactful role in developing the next generation of start-ups.The government, religious entities, local communities and, most importantly, family and especially schools, are all crucial to developing sustainable future entrepreneurs.
They should help mould young, innovative minds into becoming valuable, contributory members of society by equipping them with the supportive knowledge, skills, resilience and confidence they need in the early stages of development in order to start and grow a business.
With this is mind, entrepreneurship education is now becoming more and more important in the global economy.
Many years ago, entrepreneurship education might not have been taken seriously, but there is no doubt that it has always existed in some form or another, often in a subtle way.
For example, in the 1990s, when I was in high school, my parents gave me energy drinks, snacks and food. I liked a different type of snack that was sold in the school canteen, and I recall selling my own snack to a classmate and using the money to buy what I wanted, rather than what my parents gave me. Unbeknown to me, I was educating myself in entrepreneurship. Today, in many schools, young people buy and sell various products with each other.
According to Erasmus, Loedoff, Mda and Nel (2006), entrepreneurship education is a structured formal conveyance of entrepreneurial competencies, which in turn refers to the concepts, skills and mental awareness used by individuals during the process of starting and developing their growth-orientated business ventures.
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas Friedman advocates for inspiring young people to create the companies that will provide long-lasting employment for the country's citizens. Because the jobs on which the 65-year-old Friedman's own generation relied are no longer available, he advocates for having students graduate high school "innovation-ready", meaning that along with their certificates, they receive the critical thinking, communication and collaboration skills that will help them invent their own careers.
I believe his theory holds true for, and in, any country. Over the years, we have been a big advocate of entrepreneurial education, going to various township schools with some of our experts, who apply the design thinking methodology in prompting a different kind of thinking among pupils.
With the European Commission's entrepreneurship initiatives, schools are becoming more and more responsible for developing what is both a mind-set and a skill. Erasmus+ projects play a part by making sure that educational staff are equipped with the knowledge, teaching materials and methodologies they need.
The Perspective Project has created Europe-wide models of entrepreneurship education, so that teachers of all subjects can make it part of their teaching. Maria Brizi, co-ordinator of the Perspective Project, says European funding has allowed them to introduce new approaches, promoting entrepreneurship as a set of skills, knowledge and attitudes that will support pupils to be creative, responsive and successful in whatever activity they undertake, regardless of their career choices.
The Youth Employment Service mobility project has allowed a Croatian school to develop a new programme for teaching entrepreneurship by developing the competencies of its whole educational team, from the headmaster to the school librarian, including maths, language or craft teachers.
As we know, our continent is home to a large number of young people, and it simply doesn't have jobs for them all, making youth unemployment a major concern. Some countries, like Nigeria and Kenya, are tackling this problem by equipping children with entrepreneurial skills while they're still at school.
These include essential foundational knowledge, such as emotional intelligence and risk-taking; it also develops their appreciation for self-employment opportunities. This means that if they find themselves in a situation where they are unemployed, they don't give up and succumb to self-pity. Instead, they are able to use their skills to create new opportunities as entrepreneurs.
South Africa is also playing its part.
Addressing the Global Entrepreneurship Congress (GEC) in 2017, then-deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa, now President of South Africa, said: "There is much more we can do. Entrepreneurship must be part of the school curriculum, so that young people must, from an early age, be encouraged to be problem-solvers."
He added that the inclusion would also ensure that more job creators, rather than job-seekers, were developed and that entrepreneurship would be seen as a viable career option.
The Gauteng Department of Education, through its MEC Panyaza Lesufi, is also advocating the entrepreneurial mindset agenda in various Gauteng schools. I have also heard Minister of Small Business Development Lindiwe Zulu on various platforms at which she advocated for entrepreneurial education in schools.
Recently, the Chartwell Leadership Primary school in South Africa, led by principal Simon White, hosted a number of schoolteachers, learners and ecosystem stakeholders. These included the Department of Basic Education, the director-general of Small Business Development, as well as other champions of entrepreneurial education, such as Junior Achievement South Africa and Primestars.
Held at the 22 on Sloane start-up campus, the two-day workshop focused on what the future skills force would look like. It was impressive to witness many bright South Africa young minds presenting their various innovative ideas – proof that Africa remains a bedrock of innovation.
Adding official testimony to the above is the recent prestigious award received by five schoolgirls representing Africa at the World Technovation Challenge, held in Silicon Valley, US, the global birthplace and home of innovation.
Amid fierce competition from the US, Spain, Turkey, Uzbekistan and China, the team, led by Uchenna Onwuamaegbu Ugwu, took the gold medal for their mobile app called the FD-Detector, which they developed to help tackle the challenge of fake pharmaceutical products in Nigeria. Now known as "Africa's Golden Girls", the team comprised Promise Nnalue, Jessica Osita, Nwabuaku Ossai, Adaeze Onuigbo and Vivian Okoye.
The true value of entrepreneurship education is that it benefits students from all socio-economic backgrounds.
Sure, inculcating a culture of entrepreneurship won't instantly wipe away youth unemployment.
But it can reduce unemployment by giving young people the skills they need to create their own businesses and generate work for themselves.
I believe that South Africa and Nigeria are powerfully poised to revolutionise and champion Africa's entrepreneurial education agenda, alongside all their continental counterparts.

The full-length trailer for Hellboy II: The Golden Army just surfaced online — and the film looks like a true creature feature.
Director Guillermo del Toro, who also directed Pan's Labyrinth, has fleshed out a menagerie of characters that are a mind-bending mix of steampunk-inspired oddities, with little CGI.
The sequel to 2004's Hellboy, this comic-inspired film follows a folkloric battle for Earth — which means lots more of the kickass fight scenes glimpsed in the trailer (see it right). Score!
Is it just me, or does the last flash of a battle vaguely resemble Cloverfield?
Hellboy II: The Golden Army hits theaters July 11.

Light cube prototype
31 January 2010
Continuing to turn inspiration into reality, Deb and I unpacked our new table saw, installed the acrylic-capable blade, and got to work cutting and gluing. The result is a prototype for a new series of light boxes/cubes:
We were pretty pleased with our first attempt at constructing and gluing a 3D object from acrylic.
The LED matrix and controller are from SeeedStudio, and the next steps for us will be to develop content for the LEDs, and refine the acrylic enclosure design.
Another consideration will be whether to stick with a corded DC adapter for power, or go with (rechargeable) batteries. The pro for a DC adapter is that it takes no additional space in the enclosure, while the flip-side con of batteries is that the extra space required in the enclosure may affect the aesthetics. Batteries will also need to be recharged or changed as a trade-off for going cordless. What would you prefer (let me know in the comments)?
Here's a few more pics:
And a last one for scale:
More pics and video to come as things develop here in the lab!

Looks really cool! I hope you start selling these one's over on your etsy shop. I think I like the idea of rechargeable batteries so you don't need to have a cord attached. Or better yet built-in rechargeables and you can plug it in to charge.
Looks cool! is that mirrored acrylic?
I am interested in building my prototype LED box for my thesis in Mechanical drawing. Can you assess the aprox. price for an LED box measuring 1×1 foot each.

European Council President Donald Tusk has said leaders of the 27 remaining European Union nations have given the 'green light' to preparations for the second phase of talks, as the prime minister pledged her "unconditional commitment" to European defence.
The announcement comes after a series of appeasements made by Prime Minister Theresa May on the transition period, the European Court of Justice, and recently her offer to pay a Brexit 'divorce bill' of €20 billion which President of the European Parliament Antonio Tajan called "peanuts", demanding tens of billions more.
She has also conceded on EU migrants' residency rights in the UK after sources revealed that a deal between Britain and the EU on the matter is now "done and dusted" and that any EU migrants arriving in Britain before its formal departure from the bloc in 2019 will be allowed to acquire "settled status", leading to fears of a migrant influx and mass family reunifications pushing net migration to record levels.
Hitherto, European figures have repeatedly dismissed Britain's attempts at broadening negotiations by claiming "no sufficient progress" had been made.

Health and fitness clubs alone make up an $83 billion industry worldwide.
That doesn't even cover supplements, fitness gear, or recreation.
There's no question that fitness is a popular topic worldwide as people are always looking for new fitness plans and products.
But you're just one of many fitness websites reaching this population, how do you possibly compete? How do you increase your web traffic in such a competitive field?
Read below for 3 tips on how to increase traffic on your fitness website.
3 Ways to Increase Traffic on your Fitness Website
You're publishing some amazing articles, promoting health, and yet you're not getting nearly as much attention as you hoped.
How can you share all of your knowledge if no one is reading?
Here are 3 easy ways!
1. Social Media is Your Friend
Especially with popular topics such as fitness, it's important to use social media to your advantage.
People love to share interesting tips and tricks with friends, and sites such as Facebook and Twitter are great for sharing sources with an audience and between friends.
To use these social media platforms to your advantage, post on them regularly, and watch the "shares" or "retweets" grow.
On your website, make sure to always include a "share" button to these popular websites and others, so that the information is easily circulated.
Because we all love visuals, make sure your pictures and diagrams are also easily shared!
These sites are also great to stay up-to-date on what your audience is seeing, posting about, and interested in (such as a trending fitness supplement found here!)
2. Monitor Your Website Like a Hawk
Even if your website is up and fully functional 99% of the time, there are still 7 hours where your customers or readers can't access your site or contact you.
You'll struggle to increase traffic if your website is down!
There are companies that remotely monitor your website 24/7 (at two minutes intervals!), and send you an SMS message if it happens to go down. The companies also keep reports of when the site goes down, so you can diagnose any errors based on their monitoring.
Beyond constant monitoring, some companies also send reports of when the highest activity occurs on your website, so you can be sure to post when you're most likely to have readers on your page.
You're probably constantly monitoring your website anyway, but you have to sleep sometime. These companies can take over your shift.
3. Improve Loading Times
We simply don't have the patience nor the time to wait for a page to load anymore.
According to one study, 40% of users leave a page if it takes more than 3 seconds to load.
If it takes over 10 seconds to load, most people have already clicked away.
By improving your loading time, you're not losing most of your base before they've even given your website a chance.
There are several ways to test your website's loading time, and LoadImpact and PageSpeed are just two potential resources.
Final Thoughts
You want to increase traffic to your fitness website, and the three tips above are guaranteed to help.

Apple reminded the staff about the dismissal of information leakage
Apple sent a long memo to its employees. In it the company talks about the consequences if the worker will tell secret information to the media, according to Bloomberg.
In 2017, according to Apple, 29 people said secret information. 12 of them were arrested. "These people not only losing their jobs but may face difficulty finding a new job," — said in a statement.
The note refers to cases when the media got unwanted information. This leak iOS 11 GM, which had disclosed details of iPhone X. the Recent leak about the changes iOS 12 also proved to be undesirable. The report said that Craig Federighi shared this information with one of the employees, which told the media.
Apple recalled that the leaked information could adversely affect the sales of the current products and will give competitors the opportunity to prepare for output of the product. "We want to tell the customer why our product is great, and not to someone else doing it for us," — said in a note.
Apple has always been a secret, but the growth of the leakage became more difficult to control. In 2012, Tim cook said that Apple is going to "double down on secrecy of products," but every year, details about the new products leak before launch.

Two Friends (1986)
A poignant expression of a friendship past exhaustion.
Two FriendsDirector: Jane Campion
Cast: Emma Coles, Kris Bidenko, Kris McQuade, Stephen Leeder, Debra May, Peter Hehir
MPAA rating: not rated
Studio: Milestone Video 1996
US DVD Release Date: 2002-09-08
Intimate and wispy, Two Friends is Jane Campion's least heated film -- and probably her most soulful. A sensitive account of the bloom and dissolution of an adolescent friendship over the course of a year, it offers an instructive angle on the New Zealand-born auteur's evolution. The movie is technically Campion's debut feature; Two Friends was made for Australian television, which broadcast the film in 1986. Made at the beginning of what would soon be a brilliant career, it has hints of the audacity and brio that mark Campion's better-known achievements.
At 79 minutes and with its made-for-TV background, Two Friends invites one to call it a modest triumph. The slender story notwithstanding, Campion has made a movie of unusual richness. Shot in spare long takes, the movie unfolds in wistful reverse à la Pinter's Betrayal -- the friendship's demise opens the story, its happy peak awaiting us at the end. The script, written by Helen Garner, nails the rhythms of unremarkable day-to-day-ness. In Campion's hands, the movie comes alive -- the quotidian obtains resonance and heft.
When the movie begins, Louise (Emma Coles) and Kelly (Kris Bidenko), the eponymous protagonists, don't even seem to belong in the same story. Louise is a prim, sullen teenager in a resolutely middle-class household. Dressed in her schoolgirl uniform, she hardly looks the sort who runs with Kelly, all punk and dissolute. Kelly, we learn, has left home -- Louise hasn't seen her in ages -- and has been living with "friends" in poverty in a desolate beach town. The movie's opening chapter ends with an eloquent scene. As Louise reads a letter from the long-departed Kelly, Kelly's voiceover comes on the soundtrack. Halfway through, Louise drops the missive, but Kelly's voice remains, reciting the letter. It's a poignant expression of a friendship past exhaustion.
From there, Two Friends rewinds to the recent months that led to the friendship's inauspicious demise. By now a familiar device to U.S. and other audiences, thanks to Memento and a Seinfeld episode, the backwards-chronology structure employed by Garner's script could have easily devolved into a gimmick: a means for cheap epiphanies. Two Friends never takes such a misstep, however. Lived-in and empathetic, the movie earns its poignancy. The structure not only occasions moments of moving ironies. By proceeding from the end, the movie focuses our attention on the tiny shifts and meaningless whims that make up the vicissitudes of a friendship.
Rising (or bowing) to her material, Campion is at her most restrained here. Of her paltry output so far, I have seen all but one: Sweetie, the black comedy that was booed at its 1989 Cannes premiere. Only An Angel at My Table, a moving portrait of author Janet Frame, comes close to matching Two Friends' uncluttered humanism. The Piano, her masterpiece, and the two strong features that followed, Portrait of a Lady and Holy Smoke, were all deservedly heralded, but they were more virtuosic than anything else. In its understatement and absence of academicism, Two Friends is almost revelatory.
Drab interiors and an unerring feel for domestic turmoil give Two Friends a sense of concrete, recognizable realness. Not to say the movie is without its Campion-esque flourishes. It's a delight to see her working in an urban environment. She's always had an eye for the unusual; in Two Friends, she makes the familiar cityscape look positively alien. Her figures are dwarfed by the emblems of a concrete wasteland: the terraced banks at a public pool; a nondescript apartment building, with a huge banner shouting, "NOW SELLING"; a highway ramp over a lonely intersection.
Even more extravagant is a sequence toward the end. As we hear a voiceover from Kelly again, this time reciting a letter to Louise during the pinnacle of their friendship, sequences depicting her fertile imaginings flit by in a cartoonish, fast-motion flash. Campion pulls out all the stops during this interlude, using different film stocks, coloring within the frame, stop-motion photography, and other fantastical tricks. More than mere showing off, this giddy sequence captures the girls' spirit of childlike innocence, their obliviousness to life's harsh ebb and flow. It's an exhilarating naïvete that, as we've seen, will gradually be worn down over time.
Two Friends seems improbably full for its short running time. A resonant portrait of how people grow apart, the movie gets at its simple truths effortlessly and convincingly. The surprise is that the leap between this, a made-for-TV movie, and the Palme D'Or-winning The Piano isn't as huge as one would expect. Less polished than its illustrious successors, Two Friends is perhaps purer for its rawness and simplicity. Outside of Terry Zwigoff's Ghost World and Wes Anderson's Rushmore, I can't think of a more unerring and poignant movie about adolescence.

Ex-Bigg Boss Contestant Dolly Bindra Gets Physical With Neighbours, Abuses Them!
Bigg Boss 4 contestant and TV's controversy queen, Dolly Bindra has made a comeback with new trouble. The drama queen allegedly got into an ugly spat with her neighbour late last night and even went to the extent of physically and verbally abusing her!
Late last night, TV actress Dolly and her family were reportedly attacked by a fellow resident at Bhoomi Classic Society on Malad link road. The incident came to light through a leaked CCTV footage. "This is an old case and it is in court. Last night, my whole family was attacked by my neighbors. At night, they rang the bell and when my sister opened the door, they came directly inside my house and started using abusive language in front of my mother and husband." said Dolly following the incident.
The ex-Bigg Boss housemate went on to accuse her neighbours, saying, "They have been troubling me a lot. I am so tired that I will speak it all out. I have complained to the police. Gundas follow me and my social networking accounts are flooded with vulgar messages," Dolly said to the media. Dolly has lodged a complaint with the Malad Police Station for the same.
Interestingly, Dolly's neighbour, Puja Khanpura, has a different story to narrate. "Dolly's mother twisted my daughter's ear in the lift building and I just went to talk about that matter at her home but she started abusing. They way she abused, a good lady cannot ever do that. Two years back we had filed a case against her."
Puja even went to the extent of saying "She calls herself a celebrity, but go to any shop nearby and on the road itself, you will get to know what the real Dolly Bindra is."
Dolly has been controversy's favourite child, even on show Bigg Boss 4, where she caused many fights on the show. She had accused housemate Shweta Tiwari of providing sexual favours for money and also indulged in demeaning fellow contestants Veena Malik and Ashmit Patel. We do not know whose side to believe, but considering Dolly Bindra's past on Bigg Boss 4 and her reputation, Puja's claims do not seem that unconvincing. What say peeps?

ESPN – Hurricane Katrina 10 Year Anniversary
This was one of those amazing assignments that was so much fun to work on. I was asked to create little illustrations for the beginning of each chapter in ESPN Magazine's Hurricane Katrina issue. Each spot was to illustrate stages of the disaster, from the flood itself, to the rebuild and current state of New Orleans. After working on a few of the chapter illustrations it came up that I would also draw a half page illustration for the opener, and then, towards the end of the project it was decided that a combination of my drawings would be used on the cover!
I've worked for ESPN a few times now, but it was one of those magazines early in my career that I wanted to work for so badly. I used to pore over issues every week at the Walgreen's near my apartment in Brooklyn and see so many great illustrations in each issue, always wishing it was me in there.
This was a funny assignment in that as much as the art director loved my initial drawings, he felt it would be best to use my looser, less detailed sketches. Below are my original, detailed drawings, and at the bottom of this post you'll see the images used in print.

Israeli strikes on several areas of Syria overnight killed at least 23 fighters, including five Syrian regime troops and 18 other allied forces, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Thursday.
The Israeli army confirmed early Thursday morning that it launched an extensive campaign of retaliatory strikes on Iranian-operated bases in Syria, responding to a barrage of rockets and missiles fired by Iran towards the Israeli part of the Golan Heights only hours before.
Russia's defense ministry said Thursday that 28 Israeli planes were used in the attack, firing some 70 missiles."28 Israeli F-15 and F-16 aircraft were used in the attack, which released around 60 air-to-ground missiles over various parts of Syria. Israel also fired more than 10 tactical ground-to-ground missiles," the ministry said in a statement, quoted by Interfax news agency.The IDF were said to have struck more than 50 targets.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-St Joseph has settled two lawsuits involving a pedophile priest for a total of $1.8 million.
Jackson County Circuit Judge Jack Grate approved a $1.275 million settlement Friday in a lawsuit filed by two parents on behalf of their minor daughter against the diocese, the Rev. Shawn Ratigan and Bishop Robert Finn.
The Kansas City Star (http://bit.ly/OmYWoQ) reports two days earlier, Circuit Judge Jim Kanatzar approved a $525,000 settlement in a lawsuit filed last year by two parents and their minor daughter.
The two judges each also entered a $500,000 default judgment against Ratigan, who failed to respond to both lawsuits.
Ratigan pleaded guilty in state and federal court to child porn charges was sentenced last year to 50 years in federal prison.

When it comes to natural beauty, no one gets realer than Loose Women's Stacey Solomon.
And just when we thought we couldn't fall in love with her honesty anymore, the 28-year-old shared a raw and brave photo of her acne.
Taking to Instagram in support of her younger brother, she showed of spots on her cheek, as she jokingly told her 900k followers that she'd encountered "sympathy puberty".
"I love my little brother so much that I appear to be experiencing sympathy puberty 😂😂 Or at least that's what we've called it!" she wrote alongside the candid image.
"Had the best laugh with my lil bro tonight talking about all things hormone induced and I'm grateful to my spots for making that happen.
Love you Joshy! #SpotsAreSexy #QuarterLifePuberty 😂"
Fans instantly rushed to comment on the photo, as they praised the mum-of-two for being "real" and dubbed her a "role model."
"Spotty Stacey ! I love you !! You are so real lol 😂 I wish my daughter would get some of your confidence xxx" one said.
"Love it …… just like the rest of us xx" another added.
"Fab role model Stacey! 👏 love all your body confidence posts!! You're sending such a great & important msg – embrace & love the skin you are in!" a third commented.
The positive post comes just days after Stacey laughed off criticism over her new curly locks.
As she channelled her "inner @nadiaandkaye and Baby" on Friday's Loose Women, Stacey was met with some rather uncomplimentary comments as hair trolls compared her look to Medusa and even a packet of instant noodles.
But not one to take a back seat, Stacey shut down the haters, posting a picture to her Instagram with the caption: "For anyone who was offended by my curly hair (I noticed a few)… I'm not sorry… #nobodyputsbabyinthecorner"
You tell em, girl!

At the end of last week I decided I was going to deactivate my Tumblr. I didn't feel like I have the energy to update both a Tumblr with nakey photos and a blog with mucky words. I spend too much time on the internet as it is (and I mean a lot too much) and it just seemed exhausting. I've been enjoying titting about on Twitter, and beginning to get to know people in the sex blogger community, and it seemed much more creative and useful than Tumblr somehow.
So I said goodbye to my Tumblr friends. I scrolled through my feed and saved my favourite pics of myself, and then went to the deactivate link… and I couldn't do it. It didn't help that a couple of my photos were reblogged by people with huge followings immediately before and after, and I still find that little rush of notifications and the concomitant repeated release of dopamine pretty intoxicating. I'm an exhibitionist! It's what I do and why I do it!
But the secondary reason is that Tumblr feels a lot more anonymous than the blogging community, who mostly congregate on Twitter. Tumblr is mostly Americans- midwesterners and New Yorkers, Californians and New Mexicans. They're alien, faraway, with a very particular Milennial aesthetic that can render them almost not real people somehow. It felt easy to throw my photos into the void knowing that I was not young or conventionally attractive enough- or blessed with the work ethic or photographic abilities- to ever garner an audience of a size that might subject me to any real danger of exposure.
SexTwitter is different. There are many more Brits, and some of them are connected to and move in circles with people I vaguely know from my Vanilla life. None of these people are best buddies, but more like a handful of mutuals from the decade or so when I had a very lightly followed Vanilla Twitter. They're people who may, if they bumped into me on someone else's timeline, know me well enough to recognise some of my written tics, personal running jokes or, in photos, distinguishing marks and blemishes.
And I've realised I'm not making a lot of effort not to sound like myself on Twitter; I mean, why would I? Well, because I don't want to cross the streams. I'm in no way ready to out myself as the filthy wee besom that I am- not deliberately, and certainly not accidentally. I'm enormously impressed and envious of those who are able to be out and proud about this stuff, but that's not me.
It's nothing to do with a career or kids or any need to protect my social prestige- it's just that I'm just not that brave. If someone I knew from the real world busted me it would be enormously humiliating in the not- good way: the tummy- squiggling, can't sleep, my- secret's- out kind of way. I mean, it's pretty unlikely to happen, I might just be incredibly paranoid, but it's not impossible. It's the sort of thing that happens all the time, or, more to the point, could happen at any time. It's the internet. It's out there for everyone to see, at any time, forever and ever and ever.
So I don't know. My beloved inner showpony says 'fuck it, none of it matters, no one cares, Death beckons'. My photos have been out there for two years anyway, this isn't really any different. She shows no fear and gives no fucks and I wish her voice was louder. My inner Nun is pursing her lips and saying that it's all completely okay, this kinky sluttery business, she supposes, but it's really very important that nobody ever knows about it, because actually, aren't I still a little bit ashamed of all of this? Of being submissive, of liking rough, sometimes degrading sex? Of enjoying the validation that comes from showing my body to complete strangers? Really, seriously; just a little bit ashamed? It's okay to be a little ashamed, she thinks. I'm not being funny, my Inner Nun says, but you probably should be a bit more ashamed than you are.
Anyway. So the Tumblr's still up. I want to add photos to my blog posts, but it feels odd still. My showpony kink is untended to. I'm in limbo, standing on the edge of the pool. The water's deep and blue and probably lovely, but I'm a little bit too scared to jump in.

If you are searching for apartments, then you need to know a superior deal about them just before you go and search in individual. There are numerous apartments for rent which are provided on the costs which are prevalent. As a result, you need to know the costs in the locality that you would like your apartment to be positioned in. The world wide web is one particular of the very best areas to do this as you will get a opportunity to examine the costs supplied by two distinctive parties.
If you are not in a position to discover any outcomes on the world wide web for an apt. for rent in a certain locality, then it is very best for you to speak to a genuine estate agent. Persons who do place up ads on the world wide web go to these agencies and register their apartments. As a result, you will be in a position to discover one particular from these agencies. Also, most of these agencies are on the world wide web. Discover out the very best agencies and pay a visit to their official internet site to get apt outcomes. If you are searching for a low-price range apt. for rent, then a studio is the appropriate solution for you.
These are compact-sized apartments which have a single area and a kitchen. The area has to be converted as and how you like involving a living area and kitchen. This is apt if you are operating all day extended and just come property to unwind and rest. It is not a viable solution for a loved ones to remain. Yet another way is the division of Housing Improvement Corporation. This is a division which delivers apartments and studios for rent at a reduce price tag for men and women who have a low price of revenue and can not afford the higher rents. On the other hand, you will have to fill an application and show documents that you are a low-revenue earner to allow this advantage of the government.

From an Indigenous perspective, teaching and life-long learning is a holistic process. This requires a comprehension that in the Indigenous worldview, mind, body, and spirit are all addressed in the learning process. Incorporating traditional knowledge and ways of learning are essential in this process. This includes the inclusion of community resources and the infusion of Indigenous perspectives. This recognises that Indigenous knowledge and Western knowledge are both of equal value.
We learn from our students in reciprocal relations. Land, place, language, community, and culture are all touchstones for a respectful foundation for way of knowing. The powerful connection to land and seasonal rounds form the foundations of our educational systems and ways of knowing.
Teaching, assessment, and evaluation of both process and product are key understandings.

American style resort "Links" 2 miles south east of St Andrews
Round £95. Par 71. Value (out of 5) – 3.5
The Kittocks is one of two courses on the Fairmont hotel complex just outside St Andrews. The resort was opened as the St Andrews Bay Golf Resort and Spa by the American pharmaceutical entrepreneur Dan Panoz in 2001, but has transferred ownership a number of times since. The sister course is the Torrance named after its architect Sam Torrance the Scottish golfer. Both courses are championship venues and have hosted major qualifying and senior events.
The Kittocks course was originally called the Devlin after its golfing designer, the Australian Bruce Devlin, who developed the course in partnership with Denis Griffiths, the well known designer and past President of the American Society of Golf Course Architects. The Kittocks is named after an area of land on the course which is inhabited by a family of deer.
Until recently, both courses had a headline Summer rate of £140, although new management has repriced it at "only" £95. I say "only" to highlight how crazy, in my opinion, golf prices in Scotland have become at the higher end of the market – Kingsbarns, only a couple of miles away, is £268 for a 2018 summer round! Assessing "value", my key course assessment, is inevitably subjective, especially considering the different types of golfers each course targets – Kingsbarns starter box has a toll free American number! Comparing "value" between Kingsbarns (£268), St Andrews New (£80), Scotscraig (£70), Tain (£60), or the Kittocks at £95, is highly debatable….but good fun!
The Kittocks has many original links design attributes, including 2 double greens (the 1st and 13th, and 7th and 10th), deep and revetted bunkers (although slightly oddly built), whispy rough, boundary dykes and several dune like mounds. The layout is a mesmerising number of interlinking horseshoes, meaning wind changes direction from hole to hole. The very clever use of contours and rough means each hole feels isolated from the others displaying high level architecture.
After a fairly straight forward par 5 opening hole, the very picturesque 2nd hole, with its manufactured lake along the left, lets you know this course is not trying to be a classic links design. The 4th hole, stroke index 1, is the first of several very difficult holes, where a long second shot is needed over a deep gully into a green surrounded by gorse. Having hitting my best drive and 5 wood of the day, my ball was never to be found again in the gorse to the left of the green!
The course then winds down to the North Sea, with the dog leg par 5 5th hole presenting one of the few blind tee shots on the course, with its green giving outstanding views back towards the "Toon" of St Andrews. After the nice par 3 6th hole you then reach the signature par 4 7th hole, which has a great vista showing the unusual bunkers and, finally, the huge double green.
There then follows a range of nicely varied holes, whereby there is no stretch of incredibly difficult back to back holes. Looking at the stroke indexes on the card you see how balanced the course is. The 10th presents the first time the combination of the prevailing westerly wind really comes into play along with the sea tight along the right of the fairway. The highlight for me, both visibly and playing, was the difficult par 3 16th hole, where the yellow tee of the day had been mischievously placed on the championship tees, giving me a slightly uphill shot of almost 200 yards into a 15 mph wind – I didn't lose my ball! Its worth noting that there are a range of tee options with big differences between the blue/white/yellow/red tees, suiting all standards.
The final 2 holes were originally part of the Torrance course, but incorporated into the Kittocks after a redesign in 2009 and present 2 very fine long par 4s to finish.
The course was in great condition for a December, with full tees and greens in play. The course is quite open with wide fairways and the greens were surprisingly fast. The greens are generally very large, and I imagine not many amateurs will go without 3 putting the odd green – I did it 7 times….ouch! Along with 2 lost balls, this was the reason for my gross 101 for 25 stableford points.
If you are looking for a golf resort whilst in St Andrews, the Fairmont offers a great location with the fees for unlimited golf on both courses during your stay being very reasonable and much better value than a single round. I got a good deal with a winter fee of only £30, but my score of 3.5 represents a value at £95 per round.
Course Type: Links
Par 71 (3 par 5, 11 par 4s, 4 par 3s)
Distance (yellow): 6327
Moly's Gross score: 101

Creating a new position between the CEO
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
Jack and Jenny have discussed two possible avenues to grow and expand Sandwich
Blitz, Inc.
One possible strategy would be to franchise locations and another would be to secure
venture capital to finance an internal expansion by opening more company-owned
Jack feels that he just doesn't have time to investigate these options because he is
spending an increasing amount of his time assisting the location managers.
Jenny noted that two of the location managers had exhibited much skill in the
management of their locations and perhaps a new position could be added to
coordinate with the location managers, thus freeing Jack to work on these larger
under the section on authority, please respond to the following questions:
1. How would creating a new position between the CEO and the location managers
help the business to grow?
2. Is promoting an existing manager the best place to fill this position? If not, what is
an alternative source to fill the position?
3. Who within the company should make these decisions?
4. List the levels of authority (management) that Sandwich Blitz, Inc. would have if
the new position is created.

Solution Preview
Growing an operation takes a different set of skills than managing an operation. one of the main skills necessary in growing an operation is vision and an overall action plan. However, the managing and operating of the day to day tasks of a business are more procedural and task oriented. There is a definite need for Jack to free himself from the day to day operations to focus on meeting venture capitalists or put the plans into action to add new franchise locations.
A new position such as Vice President/ regional manager would be an appropriate solution to the need for Jack to have the freedom to grow the company and still provide ongoing support to the current location managers. This position would then grow in importance as more locations were ...

SB15CAC30-8 Ceramic/Aluminum Mid Bass in 4 ohm
This 4-ohm version offers more flexibility than just the impedance. 4-ohm versions are popular as midranges since you get a boost in SPL. They are popular for MTM designs as you can put the two woofers in series and obtain an 8-ohm rating suitable for less than stellar receivers. The T/S parameter vary a bit too. Qts is usually lowered so box alignment will be affected. In this woofers case, it is suited more to a vented alignment while the 8 ohms either.
While not a pure ceramic cone similar to Accuton, it does create a very stiff cone with low weight.
These models have appeared in commercial systems by Revel.
I am not sure the popularity of white cones, but in person, these tend to be more of a gray/silver tint which is unique.
This unit will be featured in a new kit by Jeff Bagby that is commissioned by SB Acoustics. A link will be supplied when available, which should be April of 2018.
- Imp – 4 Ohm
- Fs – 32.5 Hz
- Qts – .31
- Vas – 20.2L
- SPL – 88dB
- Xmax – 5mm
- Outer Dia. – 150mm
- Cut out – 124mm
- Depth – 69mm
SB Ceramic cones consist of an aluminum/ceramic dual layer cone. Ceramic provides a very hard and robust surface with improved sonic properties and cosmetic appearance.
- Vented cast aluminum chassis for optimum strength and low compression
- Geometrically reinforced ceramic cone for optimum piston operation and reduced
- Soft low damping rubber surround for improved transient response
- Non-conducting fiberglass voice coil former for minimum damping
- Extended copper sleeve on pole piece for low inductance and low distortion
- CCAW voice coil for reduced moving mass
- Long life silver lead wires
- Vented pole piece for reduced compression
Why Ceramic? Ceramic cones offer smoothness and harmonic richness unavailable from conventional paper cone material. Ceramic materials also offer significantly higher stiffness numbers and slightly better internal losses than typical metals such as titanium or aluminum. Compared to polymers, paper, and other soft materials, ceramics provide:
- Significantly higher stiffness to weight ratio.
- More consistent performance over a wide range of temperature and humidity. For example, polypropylene's performance changes dramatically with temperature, while paper can be significantly affected by humidity.
- Superior immunity to UV light and sunlight.
- Superior immunity to water and salt water.
- Superior immunity to combustibility

It is estimated that up to 5% of outpatients to physical therapy will present with patellofemoral pain syndrome. This disease is rarely disabling but may significantly and negatively affect the adolescent's and young adult's participation in sporting and recreational activities. Appropriate management is essential to improve quality of life and prevent future musculoskeletal problems.
Historically, here has been some confusion in defining patellofemoral pain syndrome and in determining the exact cause of this troublesome disease. These factors may make the diagnosis and treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome frustrating to the patient and clinician.
This study, using a review of the literature, will attempt to sort through the information currently available to determine the parameters used to define patellofemoral pain syndrome. Additionally, it will investigate possible causes of the syndrome, evaluation techniques, and conservative treatments of patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Researchers mounted a thin power cell to the back of a smartphone, which charges the smartphone using power from the laser. They custom-designed safety features – including a metal, flat-plate heatsink on the smartphone to dissipate excess heat from the laser, as well as a reflector-based mechanism to shut off the laser if a person tries to move in the charging beam's path.

"We have designed, constructed and tested this laser-based charging system with a rapid-response safety mechanism, which ensures that the laser emitter will terminate the charging beam before a person comes into the path of the laser," said Shyam Gollakota, associate professor at the University of Washington in the US. "In addition to the safety mechanism that quickly terminates the charging beam, our platform includes a heatsink to dissipate excess heat generated by the charging beam," said Arka Majumdar, from University of Washington.

"These features give our wireless charging system the robust safety standards needed to apply it to a variety of commercial and home settings," he said. The researchers designed the laser emitter to terminate the charging beam when any object – such as part of a person's body – comes into contact with one of the guard beams. The blocking of the guard beams can be sensed quickly enough to detect the fastest motions of the human body.
The next generation of nano-scale optical devices are expected to operate with Gigahertz frequency, which could reduce the shutter's response time to nanoseconds, said Majumdar. The beam charges the smartphone via a power cell mounted on the back of the phone A narrow beam can deliver a steady 2W of power to 15 square-inch area from a distance of up to 4.3 metres, or about 14 feet. The emitter can be modified to expand the charging beam's radius to an area of up to 100 square centimetres from a distance of 12 metres, or nearly 40 feet.

This extension means that the emitter could be aimed at a wider charging surface, such as a counter or tabletop, and charge a smartphone placed anywhere on that surface. "The beam delivers charge as quickly as plugging in your smartphone to a USB port. But instead of plugging your phone in, you simply place it on a table," said Elyas Bayati, doctoral student at University of Washington.

Honor of a Lifetime
Emeritus professor Devlin wins special recognition for his 'enduring achievements'
The award of a lifetime was presented during the Research Week reception to Dr. Paul Devlin, professor emeritus of physical chemistry at Oklahoma State University. Vice President for Research Kenneth Sewell presented him with a "Special Recognition for Enduring Achievements" from the OSU Division of Research. Devlin joined OSU in 1961.
"He has led a research laboratory with more than 56 years of continuous external funding. He retired from his full-time faculty role 22 years ago, but still maintains an NSF (National Science Foundation) funded laboratory," Sewell said. "Dr. Devlin is a stalwart of the OSU research community."
Devlin got his first grant in 1962. His early studies were with charge transfer organic systems, molten salts and the vapors over molten salts. Beginning in the 1980s his group studied many aspects of solid water systems, often as nanoparticles. This led to an offer to the meteorology community of a molecular model as to how collisions of rising small ice particles with falling larger ones can produce the charge separation necessary for lightning.
The honor — and the standing ovation that accompanied it — surprised Devlin. He also said he owes a debt to a series of dedicated graduate students over the years.
"This has been inspirational," he said. "I'm used to very quiet surroundings and nobody clamoring. So, it's really unusual and gratifying to be recognized. You can't ask for much more than that."
In retirement, Devlin said he has found freedom.
"It provided the opportunity to do exactly what I wanted to do," he said. "As a teacher, there were meetings, evaluations, thoughts of promotions. There were so many distractions. All of a sudden, I had no distractions. I could do exactly what I wanted to do." He now works on his research at his own pace. He has more time to work with graduate and college students and even some high school students.
"It enabled me to work with students who weren't necessarily ready because I had the time to spend with them," he said. "You couldn't draw it up any better. I didn't realize that when I first retired."

hand-colored photographs
Coloring photos by hand allows me to reinterpret an image in a way that color film cannot. It allows me to communicate a feeling as well as a sense of nostalgia. When I hand color a photograph, I can change the world, if only for moment. Each image begins with either a black and white photo or a digital painting from an original photo. I hand color the black and white image, adding all of the color. I print the digital painting in color and hand-embellish it. For both applications, I use a variety of mediums such as pan pastels, pencil, acrylic paints. I was inspired to hand paint my photos by a hand painted black and white photograph of an English garden by Wallace Nutting. It was a wedding gift for my grandparents as in the early 1920's. This image, my inspiration, now hangs in my home. I hope you like my view of the world.

A Rainy, Sleety and Even Snowy Competition Day
Our First Hunter Derby Competition and battling Mother Nature at the same time!
Cadence and Spartan gave another try to something new. A Hunter Derby where they were scored on 2 different courses and the top 12 were called back for the final third course. Our team was called back and placed in the top 12 receiving a neck sash ribbon, a ribbon style new to their ever growing collection. Doesn't Spartan look handsome even in hot pink! They did well considering the weather wasn't co-operating, they were freezing cold and they competed in a new place against all new people of all levels and ages. This kind of weather made us realize what's a coming, but our team had already decided they were going to take a break over the winter in showing and give themselves a well deserved rest. Looking forward to seeing them compete in their next year of showing!

PAA Pairs STEM and Project-Based Learning
In all departments and at every level, teachers at Portland Adventist Academy (PAA) are introducing students to project-based learning (PBL).
"We're working for NASA," says Courtney Clark, a PAA junior, in her last week of school. She sits backward in her chair facing classmate Austin Ulloa as he carefully draws a tetrahedron. "We're supposed to create containers that can transport food long distances through space. It's a PBL."
In PBL classrooms like Clark's precalculus class, students become a community of learners who seek solutions to real-life challenges. Smartphones and laptops are resources and tools. Students share ideas freely, teach each other, and learn to work in and out of teams.
Modern learners like Clark and Ulloa thrive on PBL. They're intelligent, they're excited to learn, they're social, and they have all the answers to all of life's questions on their smartphones and laptops. They're excited to apply the answer it to solve real-life problems.
Veteran teacher Bob Johnson has been teaching math to teenagers for more than 30 years. He's excited about PBL because he believes it's an ideal companion to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects. His classes come to life for many students who may typically dislike math.
In the final weeks of the school year, Johnson asked students to demonstrate their understanding of precalculus by solving problems NASA scientists might actually need to solve. Transporting food long distances through space may become a reality as humans explore the possibility of traveling to Mars.
On the last day of class, Clark proudly sports a NASA jacket and smiles widely as she holds up her final cylindrical prototype. Ulloa shows off the tetrahedron he was so carefully measuring earlier that week. While neither has any goals to work for NASA, they see value in this PBL.
Ulloa plans to work in health care as either a nurse or an imaging technician. "I know I will have a lot more classes in math and science ahead," he says.
Clark is enthusiastic for her future. "I really love working with numbers, graphs, budgeting, finance and all that kind of stuff," she says. "Even though I don't use precalculus in my everyday life, I know it's getting me ready for all the other things I still have to learn for what I really want to do someday."
And what is that? "I want to be a CFO, just like my dad."
