Update -3rd July 2020
Kingston Hospital - Assisted Conception Unit - statement 26th June 2020
We are delighted to announce that we have now received approval for starting IVF treatment including egg collections on site. Patients who are on our waiting lists will be contacted by the nursing staff by email to arrange a telephone consultation to discuss the self-isolation requirements and to plan their forthcoming treatment cycle. We request that patients do not call the unit and wait for our team to make contact.
Kingston Hospital - Assisted Conception Unit - statement 19th June 2020
We have this week had approval to proceed with Frozen Embryo and clomid treatments. Our nursing team will be contacting patients from early next week to discuss arrangements.
Please can we remind patients that the semen analysis drop off point is outside the hospital and that we request you not to enter the hospital to drop off the sample. This is to reduce footfall within the hospital.
Kingston Hospital - Assisted Conception Unit Statement 12th June 2020
We are pleased to confirm that the semen analysis (sperm) service, HyCoSy scanning service and phlebotomy (blood taking service) have been successfully up and running this week.
Please can we remind patients that the semen analysis drop off point is outside the hospital and that we request you not to enter the hospital to drop off the sample. This is to reduce footfall within the hospital.
GP referrals for investigation of fertility are now being accepted and patients who were already in the pathway are being contacted to re-activate their investigations prior to telephone consultation with a fertility doctor.
IVF treatments (including Frozen Embryo Transfer) have not started as yet as we are still establishing the pathways to make it a safe journey for patients and staff. This is a little more complex in the NHS setting as are there are a number of services to consider at the same time – we are grateful for your patience in this matter and can assure we are making every effort to expedite this.
Please be aware that patients hoping to undertake treatment will need to conform to guidance to minimise risk of infection prior to treatment and to self isolate throughout the treatment cycle. Both partners will have Covid swabs taken at the beginning of the treatment cycle and before egg collection to ensure that they are not infected. Unfortunately if a patient becomes symptomatic or positive during treatment then the cycle will automatically be cancelled.
Kingston Hospital - Assisted Conception Unit Statement 5th June 2020
We will be resuming semen analysis, HyCoSy scans and phlebotomy (blood taking) services from Monday 8 June. Telephone fertility consultations clinics continue and new patient referrals are now being accepted.
We hope to have further news regarding assisted conception treatments next week.
We are committed to starting your fertility treatments as soon as we can and your safety remains our priority.
Thank you for your continued patience.
Kingston Hospital -Assisted Conception Unit Statement 29th May 2020
We have made progress this week with our plans to resume services and hope to have an update next week. Thank you for your patience, stay safe and stay well.
Kingston Hospital - Assisted Conception Unit Statement 22nd May 2020
We continue with plans to re-establish a safe and effective service. The plan for fertility testing (sperm analysis, blood tests & hycosy scans) is to resume within the next three weeks.
We are developing covid patient information leaflets and new covid consents that will be required for patients undergoing assisted conception treatments. We are looking at the pathways to introduce mandatory covid testing that will be part of your treatment cycles in the future. We need to ensure that we comply with Kingston Foundation Trust, HFEA, NHS England protocols and we are awaiting the go-ahead.
Unfortunately this week we are unable to announce a date when assisted conception treatments (Frozen embryo transfer & IVF ICSI) will start. Thank you for your patience.
We hope that you stay safe and follow the social distancing guidelines so that you remain well for when you restart your treatment.
Kingston Hospital - Assisted Conception Unit Statement 15th May 2020
We are pleased to let you know that HFEA approval to resume services has been granted. We are in the process of developing local plans to resume assisted conception treatment.
Staff were redeployed to assist with the pandemic response and we are pleased that some of our staff will be repatriated from next week. We hope to resume fertility diagnostic services within three weeks.
We would like to thank you for your patience. We are aware that our patients are anxious to resume their fertility pathway as soon as possible and we would like to reassure you that we are doing our best to achieve this.
Kingston Hospital - Assisted Conception Unit Statement 7th May 2020
We have been working hard this week to revise our practices and write protocols to ensure that we can safely treat our fertility patients at Kingston Hospital Foundation Trust.
Guidelines were published yesterday by the British Fertility Society and there has been advice from HFEA on how to apply for approval to re-commence services. This is a requirement for all Assisted Conception Units in both the NHS and private sectors.
It may take a little time but we would like to re-assure you that we will be making every effort to get the treatment programme up and running as soon as we can and to welcome you back into Kingston ACU.
Your safely and wellbeing is our priority.
We plan to update the website regularly to keep you informed.
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Kingston Hospital - Assisted Conception Unit Statement 4th May 2020
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Kingston Hospital - Assisted Conception Unit Statement 19th March 2020
We have been following national guidance about sensible steps that Kingston Hospital and other health services should be taking to limit the spread of Coronavirus. Here at the Assisted Conception Unit we have also been reviewing advice from The British Fertility Society and the Association of Reproductive and Clinical Scientists.
As a result, we have had to make the difficult decision to temporarily stop ALL fertility and assisted conception treatments here at Kingston Hospital (this includes all tests, investigations, scans, blood tests, semen analysis, consultations and IVF/ICSI/IUI/FET treatments). It is difficult to say at this current time when we will be able to offer these treatment/services. We will continue to monitor the situation and review national guidance. Please check our website for further updates.
We understand the distress and disappointment this will undoubtedly cause to our patients, but, unfortunately, this is now necessary. This is due to several reasons including redeployment of staff, reduced anaesthetist cover, the possibility of staff being unable to work due to self-isolation or illness and reducing the pressure on the NHS for any common IVF complications. In addition, not bringing patients into the hospital will also minimise the spread of the virus and reduce the impact on the local NHS services which are likely to be stretched to an unprecedented extent.
Any patients currently undergoing treatment or due to have treatment will have already been contacted by one of our team. If you have not currently started treatment you will be contacted once we are in a position to start consultations and treatment again. Please feel reassured that every patient will be managed going forward. As soon as we are in a position to safely re-start treatments we will contact patients.
We are aware that some patients may be concerned that delaying their treatment may affect their eligibility according to the current guidance, for example their age may be outside the criteria if treatment is delayed. We have already been working with our Clinical Commissioning Groups regarding this and any patients affected will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
Everyone at the Assisted Conception Unit is looking forward to welcoming our patients back to the service as soon as it is safe to do so. In the meantime, if you have any concerns about your health and Coronavirus please visit https://111.nhs.uk/
Welcome to Our Assisted Conception Unit
We treat both NHS and private patients. Our philosophy of care is to always place the couple at the heart of our service.

- Extremely cost effective for our self funded patients with all treatments individually costed so that you will always know the TOTAL price at the outset.

I can't say that I have heard of any Thanksgiving celebrations here, and our Supermarkets are not advertising anything except Christmas.ReplyDelete
I wonder if our Remembrance Day is one of a kind of Thanksgiving, but without the food?
I m sure you will have a wonderful day.
It looks like your family is already in the full swing of Thanksgiving! I have a question...what are your instructions for slow roasting a turkey all night?ReplyDelete
Love the interaction between the little cousins. Looks as if an enduringReplyDelete
friendship has been established.
🍂🧡A blessed Thanksgiving to you and yours..
We are doing prep work today too! Louis Dean just bought our FOURTH ham! He finally got the one I asked for in the first place! The first one was a picnic that you must cook. I don't know how he did it but the bottom part turned to MUSH! I mean MUSH! The second one he got out of the freezer and it was the exact same kind as the first one so he decided not to use it and went to the store this morning for another one. Well, he paid big bucks and got a tiny little ham! He turned around and went back to the store and got a spiral cut honey ham! And I will get up early and put it in the roaster in the morning as it is fully cooked and must be heated up! Now we have two big bags of the good part of the first ham in the fridge and two hams - a big one and a little one - in the deep freeze! And one in the gazebo fridge for tomorrow! Now he's on to making the dinner rolls!ReplyDelete
I started (my first) slow roasting turkey also! Thank you so much for sharing this method....I'm hoping it all goes well.ReplyDelete
I love your blog, it's very helpful and down to earth.
Those two little girls look very involved in their conversation. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!ReplyDelete
I've been away from blogging and may not even have time to read back wards. I love the photo of your two little grand girls. How very sweet! They will grow up good friends and this will be a fun photo for them to look back on. I have a cousin my age and we were both blondes and love seeing pics of us together as babies!ReplyDelete
I'm in the UK and haven't seen any Thanksgiving celebrations but most of my Facebook friends are American so we've adopted the gratitude part over the years. We've been doing #yearofgratitude on Facebook, it's always a good thing to focus on and make you appreciate and remember everything you have and how good God is. I hope you are having a wonderful time with family xReplyDelete
Such special moments with all your family gathered together! I love the "conversation" between the two little ones! Precious memories indeed!ReplyDelete
Late October: Red Sunset Maples
Some years our Red Sunset Maples are in full color by late October, and other years they are like this year - about 50% color. The tops are...
It's been an interesting week, hasn't it? The panic and buying out of water and tp is disturbing. This virus is very contagious ...
I really appreciated all the wonderful comments on my blog in the last few weeks, especially the personal ones. You're all so very kin...

It was a pleasure to be out observing with just a pair of 15x70 binoculars and a camera on a small mount. Even so, and despite the fact that M81 and M82 were easy objects in the binoculars, it took me about 15 minutes to persuade myself there was something worth trying to point the camera at.

In English and Science this week, we explored the natural habitat of British birds and how these are diminishing . To help the birds local to our environment, we made bird feeders and hung them in the trees.
We then started to collect data regarding different birds seen in our school grounds. We will use this data to complete some statistics work and send our findings to the R.S.P.B.

NYAGATARE-The executive secretary of the National Unity and Reconciliation Commission (NURC), Dr Jean Baptiste Habyarimana, has hailed residents of Nyagatare district for tremendous efforts towards reconciliation process.
Speaking on Friday at the official launch of reconciliation week in the country at Matimba sector offices, Habyarimana noted that residents of Matimba, Rwimiyaga and Musheri sectors were worth emulating.
'I want to thank you for the reconciliation journey you have made, a journey that is highly recommended and should be exemplary to others. You have explicitly expressed that divisionisms among Rwandans are uncalled for,' he said.
The new NURC executive secretary commended the role played by residents in completing Gacaca cases, saying it is a remarkable point towards the reconciliation drive.
After a guided tour of the developmental activities done by reconciliation clubs in the area, Habyarimana commended residents for engaging in development activities.
"Development fosters lasting reconciliation. You cannot reconcile without developing," he said.
Yvonne Muhongayire, the in-charge of good governance in Nyagatare district attributed the success of residents' reconciliation targets to the cooperation of NURC.

The kidnapping of a group of U.S.-trained moderate Syrians moments after they entered Syria last month to confront the Islamic State was orchestrated by Turkish intelligence, multiple rebel sources have told McClatchy.
The rebels say that the tipoff to al Qaida's Nusra Front enabled Nusra to snatch many of the 54 graduates of the $500 million program on July 29 as soon as they entered Syria, dealing a humiliating blow to the Obama administration's plans for confronting the Islamic State.
Rebels familiar with the events said they believe the arrival plans were leaked because Turkish officials were worried that while the group's intended target was the Islamic State, the U.S.-trained Syrians would form a vanguard for attacking Islamist fighters that Turkey is close to, including Nusra and another major Islamist force, Ahrar al Sham.
A senior official at the Turkish Foreign Ministry, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity, declined to respond to questions about the incident, saying any discussion of Turkey's relationship with Nusra was off limits.

GRATEFUL Children
When one becomes worn out and worn down by life's busy path...
encouragement from those who hold you up
becomes something to be GRATEFUL for....
especially when some of those people are your children.
This week I saw a quote and an image on Facebook.
IT shook me in such a way that I thought I had to share it...
in order to help spread its message farther.
I have always said that we TEACH without TEACHING....
and what I mean by that is the eyes who watch us LIVE our lives
are learning how to live theirs by the examples that they see.
In particular our CHILDREN.
Our actions teach them:
* how to treat people,
* how to speak when you're upset,
* how much to give,
* how to express anger and sadness
(and most importantly)
* how to FEEL about themselves.
Here are a couple of incredible - short but POWERFUL videos showing the IMPACT of GRATITUDE through the eyes of CHILDREN!
If you have children...
take a moment today and tell them
how very GRATEFUL you are
to be given the chance to be their PARENT!
Tell each of them something special about themselves
that only you as a parent can see..... and be specific!
To my incredible, wonderful BRENT...
You are the LOVE of my life.
You are the first thing I ever loved and the one who showed me what unconditional love really looks like. I have always told you that you were born special, and it is my genuine privilege to be your mother. From the time you were just a little boy, your heart has always been soft, good and kind. I am so very proud of the man you have become and the character you have shown the world both- ON and OFF the field. In a world full of people, you have ALWAYS stood out in a crowd! Every young man you coach is better for being in your presence!
To my beautiful, bubbly BROOKLYN...
You are the JOY of my life....
From the day you were born, you have been
my little spit fire girl. The one who knows
what she wants and exactly HOW she's
gonna get it. You have made me laugh more
than anyone on this earth and been my
best friend when I felt all alone! You are truly
a ONE-IN-A-MILLION girl who brings joy to
so many. I am so so so proud of the nurse you
are and my heart swells with MOMMA LOVE
at how much you love the patients in your
care. I have told you since you were just
a toddling girl that "If I lined up all the girls in
the world, I'd pick YOU." and I still would!
To my amazing, blessed Brady...
You are the GIFT of my life...
From the very moment you were born, you have been the glue that makes us ALL family. You even used to tell me that "Jesus was holding you and holding you and then he handed you to me." And... I have always felt as if you were born with angel wings and the wisdom of those who've come before you. If I took the best of each of us and wrapped it into one little boy.... He would be YOU! You are brilliant and gentle and loving and full of LIFE. Your smile can light up a room and when you give a hug... it's so good it lasts all day long! You are my little Magic Bean that reminds me of Heaven.
To the lovely, delightful Deanna...
You are a blessing to my life...
I have told you many times that I
was worried about the woman Brent
would choose because I thought I may
have set them up for failure, since I'd
told him everything he'd done his whole
life was wonderful. BUT... little did I
know God had you all prepared to LOVE
my sweet boy and treat him as special as
his momma. You are such a crucial part
of our family and it has felt like
you belonged from the first Thanksgiving
I met you. Your heart is so full of love to
give while also being a woman driven to
be the BEST she can be all on her own.
You are beautiful inside and out. One of
my favorite things about you is that you
can dress up and look like you've
stepped out of VOUGE Magazine, or
wear your sweet pants right along with
the rest of us... all the while NEVER changing who you are or how you act. We are so lucky to have you
in our lives.
Today... Tell someone you LOVE how important they are to you....AND WHY!

Irish charity Camara Ireland has issued an appeal for donations of laptops for use in Irish schools. There has been a surge in demand for Camara's educational technology packages and the charity has not yet sourced enough used laptops to meet this demand.
With its waiting list growing by the day, Camara is appealing to all organisations and individuals to consider donating their end of life laptops for reuse in the education of Irish students.
"I would urge people to consider Camara for reuse of their laptops," said Ciaran Cannon TD, Minister for Training and Skills and a supporter of Camara Ireland. "The package they provide makes an important impact in our schools, helping to provide young people with vital access to technology."
The social enterprise, founded in 2010, provides reused laptops and teacher training to disadvantaged Irish schools at 25% of the price of a new laptop. Camara Ireland has supplied over 900 computers to schools this year, training nearly 400 educators in the process.
On receipt of his school's recent delivery, Damien Fallon, Principal of Killavullen N.S. in Cork, said: "The laptops have landed! They're perfect. Thank you. You really are changing the world, click by click."
To donate computers to Camara, please go to www.camara.org or call 01-652 2673.

Danielle Panabaker Is Totally Cool With Her Villainous Turn as Killer Frost on 'The Flash'
We got chills, they're multiplying! And we're losing control over Danielle Panabaker finally getting to go full badass as The Flash's Killer Frost in Tuesday's episode, "I Know Who You Are."
After mini-samples of her super-powered alter ego over the last three seasons, sweet scientist Caitlin Snow has been entirely overtaken by her ice-shooting inner villain and now it is so on. Can she revert to her mild-mannered self? What is her connection to speed god Savitar or Iris' imminent death in the future? And how fun is it for the delightfully down-to-earth Panabaker to camp it up as this cold-hearted crazy? We went straight to the source for some non-spoilery scoop!
High-Speed History of The Flash (PHOTOS)
OK, this is so great!
Danielle Panabaker: Oh, I am so excited.
Though, does it add a lot of extra time in the hair and makeup room now for you?
You know what, honestly it doesn't. On a normal day, it's about an hour for me to get through hair and makeup, and we've gotten it down to a science, so now it's about an hour and a half [for the Frost look]. The biggest difference is that they have to basically gel my hair back, paint it white so that my brunette hair doesn't shine through and then put the wig cap on.
Hilarious. Did you ever think that this would be a thing that you had to worry about?
You know what, it's fun. That's what's a great part about my job as an actor is—I play make-believe for a living. It's fantastic. I'm excited about it.
So where do we go with Killer Frost from here? Now that Caitlin's kind of fully embraced the bad, how do we resolve this? I mean, we love Caitlin!
[Laughs] We do love Caitlin. I think Killer Frost is just winning right now. The way it's been explained to me...it's like there's dual personalities who live inside Caitlin, similar to Magenta from earlier in this season, and right now Killer Frost is winning 100 percent. She's really squished Caitlin down deep inside of her, and she's out for blood.
As Killer Frost gains more power and possibly does more irreversible damage, even maybe death, when Caitlin reemerges, she's going to be devastated.
If she can. The question is, is Caitlin strong enough? Maybe with the help of Team Flash, she could be, but I'm not sure. Killer Frost thinks she's here to stay.
Do you think her connection to Julian could help draw Caitlin back out? He's clearly into her...
I think Julian is pretty committed to helping Caitlin, to try and find a cure, particularly in that episode that we saw that flashes forward. We see that he has made it his life's mission, so I think Julian will be there for Caitlin. I think Caitlin has had her own struggles with that relationship, in particular. And while I think Julian was definitely into Caitlin, I'm not sure how into Julian Caitlin is. I think she's a little wary, having had two of her previous boyfriends ripped from her in very devastating ways. I think, hopefully, she's a little bit more trepidatious this go-round with romance. [Laughs]
That has been a big discussion among the fans this year, the collateral damage of being a friend of Barry's.
Yes, everybody seems to [suffer]. Three seasons in, we're still finding ways to torture Caitlin. [Laughs]
How early will we find out who is in that Savitar costume?
I think it's coming. I'm pretty sure, if my memory serves, you will find out very soon who is in Savitar's suit [and] it's going to be a pretty big shock to the team. Obviously, they're going to be dealing with that the rest of the season.
In that final scene last week, it really seemed like Caitlin knew who this person was and also felt some sort of loyalty to this person.
Yes! I'm glad you were able to get that much just from a look!
So then I was thinking, "Could it be Ronnie? Could it be Eddie?" We knew Rick Cosnett was coming back, but maybe he filmed more scenes. Can you tell us if it's somebody that Killer Frost would have loyalty to, or that Caitlin has a past with?
Because the two are still sort of duking it out inside of Caitlin's body, I think it's safe to assume that either one or both could feel loyalty for the person inside the suit.

South Tottenham railway station
South Tottenham is a railway station on the east-west Gospel Oak to Barking Line of the London Overground. It is located on the eastern side of the north-south A10 High Road in Tottenham, North London, 5 miles 69 chains (9.4 km) from St Pancras (measured via Kentish Town and Mortimer Street Junction)[4] and situated between Harringay Green Lanes and Blackhorse Road. It is in Zone 3, in the London Borough of Haringey. South Tottenham to Seven Sisters station (on the western, Seven Sisters Branch of the Lea Valley Lines and on the London Underground Victoria line) is considered an official out-of-station interchange by the National Rail timetable, and involves a short walk. This link will become fixed under the planned route for Crossrail 2, which sees a double-ended underground station built linking together South Tottenham and Seven Sisters stations.[5]

Opened as 'South Tottenham and Stamford Hill' station on 1 May 1871, on the Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway, it was renamed 'South Tottenham' in 1949.[6][7]
The station todayEdit
A short distance west of the station, on the far side of the A10, there is a single east-to-north spur towards Seven Sisters. To allow this to be reached by westbound trains, there is a facing crossover, located in the platform area.
A short distance to the east of the station, there is a double turnout branching to the south, to reach the eastern route of the two north-south Lea Valley Lines. Visually from the platforms, this looks like it is the main line, since the main tracks curve to the north from the junction. (In fact, it was the original main line, since the Tottenham and Forest Gate Railway eastwards was a later addition.)
Both curves were formerly part of the route used by trains on the Palace Gates Line (which then continued onwards to North Woolwich) but these days see infrequent use, with just one booked London Overground train, which travels between Liverpool Street and Enfield Town via Stratford and Seven Sisters, in one direction only. However, this train is susceptible to diversion and has not run via South Tottenham since 21 August 2018, and looks unlikely to resume soon.[8] This surviving parliamentary train does not however stop at South Tottenham.
The station has been receiving investment, following station management passing to London Overground in 2007.
The station is served by London Buses routes 76, 149, 243, 318, 349, 476 and night route N73.[9]
A basic 15 minute interval service (4 train per hour) operates from the station in both directions throughout the week (including Sundays), with one additional a.m peak period service to Willesden Junction Low Level on weekdays only.[10]

Search Application Logs
Application logs can be accessed through Splunk. To start a new search, open the Launcher menu from the HERE platform portal and click on
Logs (see menu item 3 in Figure 1).
The Splunk home page opens and you can begin by entering a search term and starting the search. For more information on performing a Splunk search, see the official Search Tutorial.
One limitation of starting this way is that you have access to all of the log data for all pipelines. Thus, you will have to specify a search term that includes identification of the pipeline or job of interest. Alternately, you can access a running pipeline's logs directly as shown in Figure 3. This is done from the platform portal information display for a running pipeline.
For more information on using Splunk, see the tutorials in the Splunk documentation.
For more information on configuring log levels in a pipeline, see the Pipelines Developer Guide.
Pipeline Log Index
Pipeline logs are stored in the
olp-<realm>_common index. For example, if your account is in the
olp-example realm, your index would be
olp-example_common. You can search for this by adding the following string to your Splunk search query:
Troubleshoot Pipeline Issues
You can use application logs to debug and troubleshoot pipeline issues.
During the pipeline setup (before it is submitted to be run), the pipeline service does not produce any logs. Any feedback is provided only through the Pipeline service APIs.
Once a pipeline job is submitted, the errors can happen in two different scnearios: before and after the pipeline has started running.
Before the Pipeline Starts Running
There are a number of steps that the pipeline goes through before it actually starts running. Any errors at this point are not attached to a job. These errors are first captured internally by the platform, and then pushed out to your appropriate Splunk index. Only error logs related to your pipeline can appear in your specific Splunk index.
To search your Splunk index for these logs, use the pipeline or pipeline version UUID.
Once the Pipeline Starts Running
Once the pipeline starts running, there is a corresponding job reported in Pipeline Version Details on the HERE platform portal and Pipelines API responses. Each pipeline job is assigned a link to the logs for that job run.
Note: Time Window Expiration
The default time window built into the link expires after some time. For example, the default link may be pulling logs from the last 15 minutes. This link does not work on the next day.
To search for these logs again, select a time window using Splunk. You can do this through a drop-down list option at the top right of the Splunk UI.

It's all about me: Why e-mails are so easily misunderstood
By Daniel Enemark | Contributor to The Christian Science Monitor
Michael Morris and Jeff Lowenstein wouldn't have recognized each other if they'd met on the street, but that didn't stop them from getting into a shouting match. The professors had been working together on a research study when a technical glitch inconvenienced Mr. Lowenstein. He complained in an e-mail, raising Mr. Morris's ire. Tempers flared.
"It became very embarrassing later," says Morris, when it turned out there had been a miscommunication, "but we realized that we couldn't blame each other for yelling about it because that's what we were studying."
Morris and Lowenstein are among the scholars studying the benefits and dangers of e-mail and other computer-based interactions. In a world where businesses and friends often depend upon e-mail to communicate, scholars want to know if electronic communications convey ideas clearly.
The answer, the professors conclude, is sometimes "no." Though e-mail is a powerful and convenient medium, researchers have identified three major problems. First and foremost, e-mail lacks cues like facial expression and tone of voice. That makes it difficult for recipients to decode meaning well. Second, the prospect of instantaneous communication creates an urgency that pressures e-mailers to think and write quickly, which can lead to carelessness. Finally, the inability to develop personal rapport over e-mail makes relationships fragile in the face of conflict.
In effect, e-mail cannot adequately convey emotion. A recent study by Profs. Justin Kruger of New York University and Nicholas Epley of the University of Chicago focused on how well sarcasm is detected in electronic messages. Their conclusion: Not only do e-mail senders overestimate their ability to communicate feelings, but e-mail recipients also overestimate their ability to correctly decode those feelings.
One reason for this, the business-school professors say, is that people are egocentric. They assume others experience stimuli the same way they do. Also, e-mail lacks body language, tone of voice, and other cues – making it difficult to interpret emotion.
"A typical e-mail has this feature of seeming like face-to-face communication," Professor Epley says. "It's informal and it's rapid, so you assume you're getting the same paralinguistic cues you get from spoken communication."
To avoid miscommunication, e-mailers need to look at what they write from the recipient's perspective, Epley says. One strategy: Read it aloud in the opposite way you intend, whether serious or sarcastic. If it makes sense either way, revise. Or, don't rely so heavily on e-mail. Because e-mails can be ambiguous, "criticism, subtle intentions, emotions are better carried over the phone," he says.
E-mail's ambiguity has special implications for minorities and women, because it tends to feed the preconceptions of a recipient. "You sign your e-mail with a name that people can use to make inferences about your ethnicity," says Epley. A misspelling in a black colleague's e-mail may be seen as ignorance, whereas a similar error by a white colleague might be excused as a typo.
If you're vulnerable to this kind of unintentional prejudice, pick up the phone: People are much less likely to prejudge after communicating by phone than they are after receiving an e-mail. Kruger and Epley demonstrated this when they asked 40 women at Cornell to administer a brief interview, 20 by phone and 20 by e-mail. They then asked a third group of 20, the "targets," to answer the phone interviewers' questions. They sent a transcription of the targets' answers to the e-mail interviewers.
The professors then handed each interviewer what they said was a photo of her subject. In reality, each got a picture of either an Asian or an African-American woman (in reality, all were white).
E-mail interviewers who thought the sender was Asian considered her social skills to be poor, while those who believed the sender was black considered her social skills to be excellent. In stark contrast, the difference in perceived sociability almost completely disappeared when interviewer and target had talked on the phone.
E-mail tends to be short and to the point. This may arise from the time pressures we feel when writing them: We know e-mail arrives as soon as we send it, so we feel we should write it quickly, too. On the other hand, letters depend on postal timetables. A letter writer feels he has a bigger window of time to think and write.
Psychologists Massimo Bertacco and Antonella Deponte call this characteristic "speed facilitation," and they believe it influences our episodic memory – our ability to recall events. They found that e-mailers wrote shorter messages and were less likely to "ground their communications" in memories of shared experience than letters writers were.
The brevity of e-mail and the absence of audiovisual cues can endanger business and personal relationships unless e-mail is supplemented with the rapport that comes from more personal communication.
"Rapport creates a buffer of positive regard," says Professor Morris, "and when it's not there negotiation becomes brittle, vulnerable to falling apart."
Morris, who studies negotiation at Columbia, led a study that found that negotiators exchange more than three times the information in face-to-face interactions as they do via e-mail. Though Morris and his colleagues concluded that e-mail lets negotiators make "more complex, multiple-issue offers," they ultimately built less rapport, thereby increasing tensions and lowering the average economic value of the agreements.
Rapport "is an interpersonal resonance of emotional expression," Morris says, "involving synchronous gesture, laughing, and smiling together. Once this rapport exists, it's a buffer against a moment in the negotiation when there's some friction." This buffer is hard to develop without speaking over the phone or in person. Those who negotiated by e-mail in Morris's study trusted each other less and weren't as interested in working together again.
But the pitfalls of e-mail interaction were easily overcome by a single phone call. Morris ran a second round of negotiations, all conducted via e-mail, but made half of the corresponding pairs chat on the phone before negotiating – "just for five or 10 minutes," Morris explains, "and the key thing is we told them, 'Don't get into the issues. It's just an icebreaker.' " The result was dramatically improved agreements.
So if you want to buy something on Craig's List, Morris says, "make a brief phone call, even if it's not practical to do the whole negotiation by phone. You can establish a favorable bias with someone and then proceed in a less rich medium, but it's very hard to just get right into the negotiation on a medium that isn't rich."

SEGA to remaster Yakuza 3, 4 & 5 for PS4
According to the latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation, SEGA will release remastered versions of Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, and Yakuza 5 for PlayStation 4.
The remasterd releases will have improved resolution and frame rates similar to the previous series remasters, Yakuza Kiwami 1 & 2.
Here are the Japanese release details so far:
• Yakuza 3 – August 9 for 3,990 yen (includes soundtrack download code)
• Yakuza 4 – Fall 2018
• Yakuza 5 – Spring 2019
This reveal comes soon after the Yakuza series producer noted last month that SEGA was considering remastering these games if fan demand was high enough. Such a tease….
There are no details for a Western release yet, but thanks to Sony's region-free policy, PlayStation gamers will at least have options for playing the entire main line Yakuza series in all its HD glory on a single console.
Sorry, Dead Souls fans.

The SPCA movement in South Africa "is opposed to the unnecessary mutilation of animals – for cosmetic, sporting, entertainment or convenience purposes:- including but not limited to tail docking, ear cropping, debarking and declawing." (Extract from the Statement of Policy)
Tail Docking Simplified
It must be clarified:-
- that as of I June 2008 the SA Veterinary Council decided that it will no longer condone the routine tail docking of puppies by veterinarians as they would be in contravention of the Animals Protection Act, unless done for therapeutic reasons;
- that docking of tails when undertaken by non-veterinarians is, in addition to being a contravention of the Animals Protection Act, a surgical procedure which is also a contravention of the Veterinary Act, regardless of how it is done.
In other words, tail docking is a criminal offence no matter who does it. There is no exclusion for breeders. A full article on the decision by the SA Veterinary Council can be read on their website here.
Tail Docking of Puppies
It has long been the opinion of the NSPCA that tail docking (as well as any other form of mutilation) is a contravention of the Animals Protection Act Clause 2(1)a, which states:
"Any person who overloads, overdrives, overrides, ill-treats, neglects, infuriates, tortures or maims or cruelly beats, kicks, goads or terrifies any animal."
Previously the SPCA movement did not have the support of the veterinary profession on this particular point, therefore, for obvious reasons – until pain could be proven in a court of law. With new research and the support of the SAVC, we are of the opinion that with the appropriate evidence, we will successfully prosecute and convict persons docking tails for cosmetic reasons or for reasons other than veterinary requirements.
Negatives of Tail Docking
- Scientific research has shown that tail docking is a painful and traumatic experience for a puppy, even if performed under local anaesthetic. Even at a few days of age, puppies have a well developed sense of pain and a fully developed nervous system. Skin, blood vessels, nerves, bone and cartilage are cut during the procedure. If it is poorly done, problems such as nerve damage, neuroma, pain, bleeding, infection, problems with defecating and urinating and even death can occur.
- Dogs use their tails for communication / body language. A tail that is wagging quickly indicates a happy, friendly dog, whilst a tail that is being wagged stiffly, slowly and deliberately indicates a warning that a dog is feeling threatened or unhappy, and that he may bite or attack. Without a tail, a dog cannot communicate his emotions or intentions, making it more difficult for people and other dogs to know how a dog is likely to react in a certain situation, and may even lead to an increase in dog fights.
- Tails assist with agility.
- Tails assist with balance.
- Unless the dog's tail is a major hindrance to the work that a working dog needs to carry out, or if it may be damaged or injured in the course of his work, there is no justification for tail docking. Also, many working breed dogs are now kept as pets and not as working animals, and even if they do work, it is normally "a recreational activity for people and not an essential function", according to the SAVC (South African Veterinary Council). The NSCPA concurs with this statement.
- Tail docking is a procedure that is carried out because people believe that that is how that dog should "look", so it merely satisfies a breed standard or a human notion of what that type of dog should look like. It started hundreds of years ago, sometimes for reasons that were medically unsound, and for reasons which are no longer valid today. SABBA (SA Boerbul Breeders Association) claims that tail docking is supported by breeders "from a health, safety and aesthetic point of view".
(Suid-Afrikaanse Boerboel Telersvereeniging / South African Boerboel Breeders Association) Website:
According to a legal opinion offered by Attorneys Mason Inc, Pietermaritzburg (Mr Petrus Coetzee) on this website, "There is no notification in the Government Gazette nor is there Ministerial approval as required by the Veterinary and Para-Veterinary Professions Act 19 of 1982" in regards to the resolution taken by the SAVC in connection with tail docking of puppies. He goes on to state that, "Because the rule has not been published in the Government Gazette or been given Ministerial approval . . . it has no effect, the law has not been changed".
In response to the NSPCA's queries on this legal opinion, the Director of Legal Affairs at the SAVC, Mrs Shikshah Dowlath-Singh, stated that, "The SAVC need not have all its policies published in the Government Gazette nor have the Act and/or rules and regulations amended, in order to enforce its decisions and policies within and against the veterinary and para-veterinary professions", and that the SAVC only has jurisdiction over registered members of the veterinary and para-veterinary professions, therefore, "all policy decisions made by Council are valid and enforceable against all its registered members . . . and the SAVC may institute disciplinary action against a veterinarian" who performs tail docking for cosmetic reasons.
She further states that "With regard to the illegality of tail docking, this is enforceable by the NSPCA . . . in terms of the Animal Protection Act, as it falls under the offence of maiming. The NSPCA is the body responsible for investigating any person who is responsible for the docking of dogs' tails for cosmetic reasons . . . with the view of laying criminal charges against such a person for criminal prosecution".
The SAVC
The SAVC decided that as of 1 June 2008 it would no longer condone the routine tail docking of puppies for cosmetic purposes by veterinarians. Any veterinarian who docks a tail, "unless for justifiable medical reasons", will be liable for prosecution under the Animal Protection Act (APA) number 71 of 1962. Veterinarians found guilty under this act will automatically be investigated for unprofessional conduct by the SAVC under the Veterinary and Para-Veterinary Professions Act, 1982. Lay people are also liable to prosecution under the APA if maiming can be proved. This falls under the ambit of welfare organisations.
As of September 2011, the SAVC is in the process of drafting two important documents:
- An article to help vets to understand what they are required to put into a veterinary report on docking cases to assist welfare organisations.
- A literature review on pain in neonatal puppies to scientifically support the welfare argument that cosmetic tail docking in puppies causes unnecessary pain and suffering.
The SAVC has printed information on tail docking in puppies in the form of pamphlets and posters. These have been distributed to veterinary practices in SA and are available on the SAVC website.
KUSA (Kennel Union of South Africa)
KUSA has stated that they are not happy with the ban on tail docking and that the "SAVC is not empowered to prosecute laypersons, and by their own admission cannot even prosecute veterinarians. They can only take action against a veterinarian if convicted in a court of law".
However, together the veterinarians, SPCA, public and other welfare organisations can prosecute.
According to Dawn Rosier at KUSA in Cape Town, their breed standards have not changed and dog owners may show their dogs with or without cropped tails. None of their breed standards say that a dog's tail must be cropped, but they rather say "tail customarily docked" or "tail traditionally docked".

Hey all! Abby here. I am so excited to be one of your TAs this fall. I know that you're all drawn in by the title, so I'll get to the secret recipe for doing well in one second. First I want to introduce myself! My name is Abby Kennedy and I am a junior here at Penn State–that's crazy since I swore someone just told me how jealous they were of me for being a freshman. Let me take this chance to tell you I am jealous of you if you are a freshman (enjoy it and never let it go until they make you). I'm double majoring in English and Secondary English Education with minors in History and Latin American studies, which means I want to teach English and Social Studies at a high school level in a Latino community someday and use my Spanish. This summer I was studying abroad and conducting independent research in Guatemala. I actually had my own blogging requirement for that trip, so if you want to learn more about my trip, see here.
See what I just did there? A live link! Those are pretty easy to do in a regular blog post because all you have to do is use the live link button in your toolbox above the text.
See my picture that I added to illustrate that? Used the Add Media button for that. For Comments, it can be a little more difficult because there's no button, but I always used this website, which tells you the manual way to do it (Use the Code In Context one). Now I know this stuff seems basic and maybe irrelevant, but the reason why Andrew wants you to use those two things is because in your blogs, you've got to do three things: #1 Make a clear, compelling, and unique scientific argument or inquiry #2 Back up your claims with logic and credible scientific data or theory and #3 Make it interesting enough that other people will read it. Live links to scientific studies, journal articles, or statistics (which save so much time compared to bibliographies) are great ways to back up your posts with solid evidence in a way that people can easily follow. Pictures can do that too (example: charts, graphs), and pictures also give some life to what you're writing about. If you swing it right, videos and memes can be great too. As far as the blogging part of your grade goes, live links and pictures are great ways to back up a strong blog and get you closer to an A.
So what else to you have to do?
First, you should always be posing some sort of question and maybe even try to answer it–or at least explain how you could answer it. If you want to say that there's a new treatment for spinal injuries, that's fine but examine it. Does this new treatment work? How do we know or how can we know? You can see my blog about that here.
Focus on specifics, not general topics. You want to write about how boys and girls are different? Cool, but narrow it down to a specific way they may or may not be different like school.
Pick topics that interest you for starters. If you do that, you will mind less doing research into all of the avenues of questions and explanations, and you should do research into those.
I'm in an a cappella group on campus, The Coda Conduct, so I love music. When I looked at whether or not music is good to listen to while studying, I asked questions about different types of music, different volume levels, and different types of work. Then I searched for scientific articles about those topics or related ones until I got better answers or I found that there was a lack of research. When that happens, suggest hypothetical experiments someone could do in order to get better answers. Don't worry, that's not as hard as it sounds and you'll get it after a little bit of time with Andrew. In science, you're usually more likely to come up with more questions or ambiguous answers than you are with definitive facts. That's okay!
And when you're backing up your claims or trains of thought with evidence, use credible evidence. What I mean by that is, go beyond an easy Google search of CNN articles about stuff. Those are good for getting a general gist of something at first. But looking at academic journals is where you get the best evidence. I recommend Google Scholar, which connects your searches to academic articles that you can access. Sometimes it takes time to read these–I suggest reading the hypothesis, abstract, and conclusion to papers first–but it's super important. Here's why: When it comes to science, you have to make sure that if someone challenged you, that your argument could stand up to their challenge (that's true for lots of disciplines like education, business, etc.). I wrote a blog about why you should get the flu vaccines every year, and I fought against all the counterarguments with solid evidence from scientific journals or statistics so that my piece couldn't be disputed. When you're talking about something as serious as vaccines (Andrew will explain why they're serious), you have to make your stuff untouchable–again, great advice for anything you write or argue.
Reference the stuff from class. Andrew is a brilliant guy, despite how chill he seems. He teaches you great patterns of critical thinking and examination in class, stuff that's considered great around the scientific community. Question the size of the study, talk about false positives, remember that correlation isn't causation (all of that will make sense in a bit). If you do, your work will be stronger.
Here's my final takeaway (not a bad thing to end your blogs with): Yes, this course requires work. But the way I see it is you guys are here, so make the most of your time and efforts. You have to be in class anyhow, so listen and take notes. You have to write a minimum number of blogs, so write the best one so that you don't have to write more. That stuff will mean less cramming for tests and writing blogs that you know aren't good. As far as liking science a little better than you did in freshman year biology goes, that will come as you get more engaged with the class. At least it did for me, and I hated those frog dissections as much as anyone.

Beer Review: Summer in a Glass
Paulaner Non-Alcoholic Hefe-Weißbier
Less than 0.5% alcohol
Rating: Distinguished
Paulaner was always my favorite beer tent at Oktoberfest, so I was excited to try this non-alcoholic version.
(When I lived in Germany, my FitnessFirst used to stock this in the fridge next to the Powerade, so it must be good for you too, right?)
Weißbier (translation: "white beer") is a type of hefeweizen. I always preferred it on a hot summer day because it wasn't as heavy as the regular wheat beer. This alcohol-free version is rich in character, with honey and orange flavors. Not overly sweet, with a pleasant dry aftertaste. I can already see myself hoisting a "Maß" of this while singing "Ein Prosit" when I return to Oktoberfest. (Yes, they serve alcohol-free beer as well as "Apfelschorle," a fizzy alcohol-free apple juice, in many of the tents because it's a family affair. So you can still celebrate dry, if you can put up with the "betrunken" revelers.)
Supermarket outside of Germany: EUR2.09/bottle

The body of SP Tahir Dawar to be handed over to KP police today
The body of Superintendent of Police (SP) Tahir Khan Dawar ─ who was abducted from Islamabad last month and found dead in Afghanistan ─ will be handed over to Pakistani authorities by the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement on Wednesday, MNA Mohsin Dawar told DawnNewsTV.
SP Tahir, a police officer who had survived two suicide attacks in Bannu and had been serving as head of Peshawar police's rural circle, was kidnapped from Islamabad's G-10/4 area on Oct 26. A body believed to be his was found in Afghanistan's Nangarhar province yesterday.

SP Tahir hailed from North Waziristan district and earlier this year was made acting SP and given charge of the rural circle. Prior to that he had served as DSP of University Town and Fakirabad and had also had a stint with the Federal Investigation Agency.
Photos of the SP's badly tortured body with a hand-written Pashto letter placed on his chest, purportedly written by a yet unidentified militant group, went viral on social media on Tuesday before police could officially confirm the happening, but a senior official said a "source" had informed them of the tragic news.

Doing Sanjay Gupta's Jazbaa has been a life-changing experience for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The film taught her the importance of balancing home and career. In what could be termed a glorious comeback, Aishwarya dazzles in this week's release. The compliments flow, though for now, the one opinion that matters to her is yet to come.
"Abhishek has not seen Jazbaa as yet. Neither has the rest of the family. But they will soon. Their opinion means the world to me," says the still stunningly-beautiful actress who took a three-year break from acting to look after her daughter Aaradhya.
The decision to stay away was easy but the resolve to return was not.
Confesses Aishwarya, "I was very clear about my priorities. It was my daughter above anything else for me after she was born. Now that she is going to school and has friends, I could think of doing a film again. And I did. But it wasn't easy. And Aaradhya was with me throughout."
What Jazbaa has done for Aishwarya is to make her conscious of the tough choices working mothers have to make.
"Chalo, for me at least there is the freedom of flexibility. Whether I work or not is my choice. The hours that I decided to shoot were worked around my daughter's time-table. But what about those thousands of women who must work with no room for concessions as a mother. How difficult it must be for them to wrench themselves away from their children!"
Seeing her glow on screen it's evident that Aishwarya hasn't aged by a day since we last saw her in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish 4 years ago.
She laughs her trademark laughter and says, "Believe me; I've done nothing to look the way I do. I don't go to the gym. I don't do any of the things one is supposed to do."
Jazbaa finds Aishwarya Rai Bachchan packing in a punch-filled performance. She attributes it to her co-stars and director. "When Gups (Sanjay Gupta) narrated the script to me I immediately thought of Irrfan and Shabana Azmiji for the two other main characters. When I told Gups this he said he too was thinking about them for the roles. So we were on the same page from the start."
On the sets, Aishwarya found the atmosphere easygoing and fun. "Gups was open to suggestions, ready for discussions. He was never rigid. Never the know-all on the sets. If I get more directors like him to work with I'll certainly do more films."

text: Avatar Of Woe 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2010 Figured this was a more appropriate thread then the High Tech, Low Life one. So today I installed Academagia to a new directory and didn't install any patches. I installed the published from scratch Shadowrun official content and ran the game. It sort of worked, it loaded successfully and I could start a new game and enter name and attributes, but the System Error message box popped up while entering the name. Regardless the game ran fine, I joined a college, I could see backgrounds (although I think I'm forced to use the Academagia standard background types. My new background types didn't show up. Not good.) and classes and associated such were all there. Then I installed an older version which had a college but no classes. It worked just fine, no error messages. No skills either (but they are in the file), and no background (though a custom background was in the file), no images (because none were set up), and classes were still scheduled. I spent some time playing, classes seemed to be treated as if they didn't exist, there was no detention for skipping and I got as far as the weekend before it crashed for no clear reason. And just for fun I installed patch 11, rationalizing that since the patch was released with the mod tools, it should be the most compatible. With both versions I got as far as the opening adventure and then a System Error and crash. Research continues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Help Calm Your Baby during and for Breastfeeding
- It is uncommon for foods to cause fussiness, but it is possible. Watch your baby for sensitivity towards dairy products, large amounts of caffeine, and any foods that usually make you gassy (Your baby is likely sensitive to the same foods as you are).
- A nursing necklace may calm Baby and keep him/her from being distracted.
Learn about colic while breastfeeding.
Find a comfortable breastfeeding position, also get yourself some comfortable breastfeeding tops for easy access.
Talk, hum or sing softly to calm Baby. Cuddle, stroke and touch him/her gently.
Calming Baby may be as simple as holding him/her in a more upright position during breastfeeding and directly afterward.
Experiment with how often and when you burp your baby. Burping your baby
can reduce the pain caused by swallowing too much air during feedings.
Offer meals in a quiet environment. Keep
activities before bedtime or breastfeeding, to things that will not overstimulate your baby.
A mother can consume calming herbs, which will intern calm her baby.
Give your baby a warm bath, before a breastfeeding session.
Massage your baby's tummy, or give him/her a full massage. Baby massage has been proven to calm babies with colic.
- Swaddle your baby in a warm blanket. Babywearing is an effective way to calm and soothe a fussy baby.
- Walk while holding your baby, in a quiet, dark room while you hum or sing.
- Keep your baby away from highly stimulating situations during the day when possible, to prevent sensory overload.
- A fussy baby will usually calm down when you play soothing music or turn on some white noise, such as a vacuum cleaner or running water.
- Babies can sense any anxiety within their mothers, so try to be cool, calm and collected.
- Sometimes when a mother has a very forceful letdown or underactive letdown, it can cause her baby to fuss a lot and even choke during breastfeeding.
- Skin to skin contact, co-sleeping, and kangaroo mother care are highly recommended.

What Do Baby's Cries Mean?
All babies cry, some more than others.
As new parents, we all have this magical picture of a sleeping baby being cradled in the arms, but the reality is they do cry, and it leaves us frustrated, tired and overwhelmed.
After the birth of my baby boy, we had a few sleepless nights, wondering why he was crying… leaving mommy crying with him and daddy frustrated, is it colic? Is he hungry? Is he sick? And so I did some research...
Well, I have good news for all of you, babies have their own language, each cry and gesture is a signal for a specific need.
Hope this helps you as much as it helped me.
Why do babies cry?
To put it plainly babies cry because they cannot talk. Even if babies could speak, they don't understand the way they feel, so they need us to help them understand.
Experts across the world have been trying to figure out why babies cry and specifically why some cry more than others.
Babies pick up on your emotions, so moms who feel low, depressed, anxious, exhausted or angry, who have relationship problems or rejection feelings are more likely to have babies who cry excessively.
A mom that experiences an upsetting or distressing birth is also more likely to have a baby that cries excessively in the first few months of life.
Crying is the way babies signal a need for hunger, tiredness, pain, boredom and other things. Why is my baby crying? More reasons why babies cry.
The Cry
Crying baby sound
The signs
I'm hungry
Baby sucks hands.
Baby sleep cry
Baby blinks, yawns, rubs his eyes and baby kicks and cries.
Burp me
I'm uncomfortable
Baby doesn't stop crying when picked up.
Communication month by month.
0-3 months
- Crying is baby's primary means of communications.
Baby may cry for no apparent reason.
Your baby will respond to your voice by smiling or getting excited.
Babies start smiling at their parents. Baby might still be shy to smile for strangers but, might still coo.
There might be times that you have met all your baby's needs, yet he/she is still crying.
4-8 months
- By this age babies learn causes and effects and how to coordinate actions and thought; this makes the signs clear.
Baby will start using signs to indicate his/her needs like raising arms to show he/she wants to be picked up.
If your baby turns his head away and breaks eye contact, he/she has had enough stimulation or simply wants to play on their own.
Babies learn a language by picking up on stress patterns in words.
9-12 months
- Your baby will start using words like "mama" and "dada."
Your baby will start nodding and shaking his/her head.
Your baby will start paying more attention to your words and will try to imitate you.
Babies begin to show likes and dislikes like nodding in agreement and pulling their noses up in dislike.
- They will also start showing you what they want by pointing, gesturing or crawling.

Andrew Lane Lab
The Lane laboratory is focused on understanding molecular mechanisms underlying chronic rhinosinusitis and particularly the pathogenesis of nasal polyps. Diverse techniques in molecular biology, immunology, physiology, and engineering are utilized to study epithelial cell innate immunity, olfactory loss, the sinus microbiome, and drug delivery to the nose and sinus cavities. Ongoing work explores how epithelial cells participate in the immune response and contribute to chronic sinonasal inflammation. The lab creates and employs transgenic mouse models of chronic sinusitis to support research in this area. Collaborations are in place with the School of Public Health to explore mechanisms of anti-viral immunity in influenza and rhinovirus, and with the University of Maryland to characterize the bacterial microbiome of the nose and sinuses in health and disease.

Brennen Lab
The Brennen laboratory takes a rigorous, multi-disciplinary, team-based approach towards developing innovative therapeutic and prognostic strategies for prostate cancer with an emphasis on exploiting vulnerabilities within the tumor microenvironment towards this goal. To accomplish this goal, we are strategically pursuing novel therapeutic platforms, including stromal-targeted prodrugs, protoxins, and radiolabeled antibodies, in addition to cell-based therapy and drug delivery; all of which are designed to reduce toxicity to peripheral non-target tissue (i.e. side effects) while maximizing anti-tumor efficacy (i.e. therapeutic benefit). Currently, many of these strategies are focused on overcoming stromal barriers to anti-tumor immune responses such that men suffering from prostate cancer can share in the immense, revolutionary power of immunotherapy that is transforming care for many with advanced disease in other tumor types previously thought to be unmanageable using conventional ap...proaches. Unfortunately, prostate cancer has largely proven refractory to these powerful approaches thus far and requires novel mono- or combinatorial treatment strategies to unleash the full potential of the immune system and generate personalized anti-tumor responses with the capability of producing long-term durable responses or even cures in these men. view more
