Parenting Stress relates to stressors that are a function of being in and executing the parenting role. It is a construct that relates to both psychological phenomena and to the human body's physiological state as a parent or caretaker of a child. This article serves as a brief narrative review of the construct.

Leptospirosis is a blood infection caused by the bacterium Leptospira. Signs and symptoms can range from none to mild (headaches, muscle pains, and fevers) to severe (bleeding in the lungs or meningitis). Weil's disease, the acute, severe form of leptospirosis, causes the infected individual to become jaundiced (skin and eyes become yellow), develop kidney failure, and bleed. Pulmonary hemorrhage in association with leptospirosis is known as "severe pulmonary haemorrhage syndrome". [...]

Phage therapy refers to the use of bacteriophages (phages - bacterial viruses) as therapeutic agents against infectious bacterial diseases. This therapeutic approach emerged in the beginning of the 20th century but was progressively replaced by the use of antibiotics in most parts of the world after the second world war. More recently however, the alarming rise of multidrug-resistant bacteria and the consequent need for antibiotic alternatives has renewed interest in phages as antimicrobial agents. Several scientific, technological and regulatory advances have supported the credibility of a second revolution in phage therapy. Nevertheless, phage therapy still faces many challenges that include: i) the need to increase phage collections from reference phage banks; ii) the development of efficient phage screening methods for the fast identification of the therapeutic phage(s); iii) the establishment of efficient phage therapy strategies to tackle infectious biofilms; iv) the validation of feasible phage production protocols that assure quality and safety of phage preparations; and (v) the guarantee of stability of phage preparations during manufacturing, storage and transport. Moreover, current maladapted regulatory structures represent a significant hurdle for potential commercialization of phage therapeutics. This article describes the past and current status of phage therapy and presents the most recent advances in this domain.

The history of penicillin was shaped by the contributions of numerous scientists. The ultimate result was the discovery of the mould Penicillium's antibacterial activity and the subsequent development of penicillins, the most widely used antibiotics. Following an accidental discovery of the mould, later identified as Penicillium rubens, as the source of the antibacterial principle (1928) and the production of a pure compound (1942), penicillin became the first naturally derived antibiotic. There is anecdotal evidence of ancient societies using moulds to treat infections and of awareness that various moulds inhibited bacterial growth. However, it is not clear if Penicillium species were the species traditionally used or if the antimicrobial substances produced were penicillin. In 1928, Alexander Fleming was the first to discover the antibacterial substance secreted by the Penicillium mould and concentrate the active substance involved, giving it the name penicillin. His success in treating Harry Lambert's streptococcal meningitis, an infection until then fatal, proved to be a critical moment in the medical use of penicillin. Many later scientists were involved in the stabilisation and mass production of penicillin and in the search for more productive strains of Penicillium. Among the most important were Ernst Chain and Howard Florey, who shared with Fleming the 1945 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Bilateral persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare vascular anomaly. We report an exceptionally rare case of complete bilateral PSAs, diagnosed on computed tomography angiography (CTA) in a patient who sustained a gunshot wound to the lower limb. Incidental PSAs are unlikely to have clinical significance, however, the unusual anatomy and higher incidence of complications requires accurate reporting of such variants. In this case, the anomaly paradoxically proved beneficial given the proximity of the gunshot wound to the femoral vessels. The embryology, clinical and imaging findings, potential complications, and treatment options regarding PSA are discussed.

Does the packaging of health information affect the assessment of its reliability? A randomized controlled trial protocol
Authors: Denise Smith, James Heilman, Leela Raj
Background: Wikipedia is frequently used as a source of health information. However, the quality of its content varies widely across articles. The DISCERN tool is a brief questionnaire developed in 1996 by the Division of Public Health and Primary Health Care of the Institute of Health Sciences of the University of Oxford. They claim it provides users with a valid and reliable way of assessing the quality of written information. However, the DISCERN instrument's reliability in measuring the quality of online health information, particularly whether or not its scores are affected by reader biases about specific publication sources, has not yet been explored.

Systematic reviews are a type of review that uses repeatable analytical methods to collect secondary data and analyse it. Systematic reviews are a type of evidence synthesis which formulate research questions that are broad or narrow in scope, and identify and synthesize data that directly relate to the systematic review question. While some people might associate 'systematic review' with 'meta-analysis', there are multiple kinds of review which can be defined as 'systematic' which do not involve a meta-analysis. Some systematic reviews critically appraise research studies, and synthesize findings qualitatively or quantitatively. Systematic reviews are often designed to provide an exhaustive summary of current evidence relevant to a research question. For example, systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials are an important way of informing evidence-based medicine, and a review of existing studies is often quicker and cheaper than embarking on a new study.

Beyond public health and economic costs, the COVID-19 pandemic adds strain, disrupts daily routines, and complicates mental health and medical service delivery for those with mental health and medical conditions. Bipolar disorder can increase vulnerability to infection; it can also enhance stress, complicate treatment, and heighten interpersonal stigma. Yet there are successes when people proactively improve social connections, prioritize self-care, and learn to effectively use mobile and telehealth.

Emotional and Psychological Impact of Interpreting for Clients with Traumatic Histories on interpreters: a review of qualitative articles
Authors: Salma Rehman, Parveen Ali, Kurt Michael, Aasia Rajpoot
Interpreters play an important role in the health and social care system. The aim of this review is to synthesize available qualitative studies exploring experiences of interpreters when working with individuals and groups who have experienced domestic violence and abuse or other traumatic situations. A comprehensive literature search of databases helped identify 18 studies including 3 quantitative and 15 qualitative studies published between 2003-2017. The studies were conducted in various countries and data analysis resulted in the development of 5 themes which included: 'role and impact of interpreter'; 'psychological and emotional impact of interpreting'; 'workplace challenges faced by interpreters'; 'coping strategies used by interpreters'; and 'interpreters' support needs'. Themes are discussed in relation to the available literature and gaps in the literature are identified.

Hepatitis D is a globally occurring liver disease. It afflicts those who have been infected by both the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and also the Hepatitis D virus (HDV), since HDV needs the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) to replicate. It is therefore most prevalent in countries where HBV infection is also common, currently the Amazon basin and low income regions of Asia and Africa. Improved measures to control HBV in industrialised countries (such as by vaccination) have also reduced the prevalence of HDV, with the main remaining at-risk populations in those countries being injection drug users and immigrants from endemic HDV areas.

Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulty learning to read and spell. Underlying deficits typically include impaired phonological awareness (an awareness of the sound structure of words) and processing; difficulty with verbal working memory; and slow verbal processing speed. Observable problems include frequent spelling errors that same-age children do not exhibit; difficulty learning how to decode individual words, including "sounding out" words; and struggling to pronounce words correctly and fluently when reading aloud. Deficits in reading comprehension often occur as a secondary consequence. [...]

Orientia tsutsugamushi is a mite-borne bacterium belonging to the family Rickettsiaceae and is responsible for the disease scrub typhus in humans. It is an obligate intracellular parasite of trombiculid mites, in which natural transmission is maintained from the female to its eggs (transovarial transmission) and from the eggs to adults (transstadial transmission). With a genome of only 2.0–2.7 Mb, it has the most repeated DNA sequences among bacteria. It is transmitted by mite larvae (chiggers) from rodents, the natural hosts of mites, to humans through accidental bites. Naosuke Hayashi first described it in 1920, giving it the name Theileria tsutsugamushi, but it was renamed to Orientia tsutsugamushi in 1995, owing to its unique properties. Unlike other Gram-negative bacteria, its cell wall lacks lipophosphoglycan and peptidoglycan. It instead has a unique 56-kDa type-specific antigen (TSA56), which gives rise to many strains (sub-types) of the bacterium such as Karp, Gilliam, Kato, Shimokoshi, Kuroki, and Kawasaki. It is most closely related to Candidatus Orientia chuto, a species described in 2010. Primarily indicated by undifferentiated febrile illnesses, the infection can be complicated and often fatal. Diagnosis is difficult and requires laborious detection methods such as the Weil–Felix test, rapid immunochromatographic test, immunofluorescence assays, ELISA, or PCR. Eschar, if present on the skin, is a good diagnostic indicator. One million infections are estimated to occur annually in the endemic region called the Tsutsugamushi Triangle, which covers the Russian Far East in the north, Japan in the east, northern Australia in the south, and Afghanistan in the west. However, infections have also spread to Africa, Europe and South America. Antibiotics such as azithromycin and doxycycline are the main prescription drugs. There is no vaccine for the infection.

Hepatitis E is inflammation of the liver caused by infection with the hepatitis E virus. It is one of five known human hepatitis viruses: A, B, C, D, and E. HEV is a positive-sense, single-stranded, nonenveloped, RNA icosahedral virus. HEV has mainly a fecal-oral transmission route. Infection with this virus was first documented in 1955 during an outbreak in New Delhi, India. A preventive vaccine (HEV 239) is approved for use in China. [...]

Lassa fever is a viral hemorrhagic fever caused by Lassa virus (Lassa mammarenavirus), a negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus of the Arenaviridae family. In most cases Lassa virus infection is asymptomatic (presenting no symptom). When symptomatic it is characterized by mild acute febrile disease to a chronic fatal disease with severe toxaemia, capillary leak, hemorrhagic situations, shock and multiple organ failure. Early diagnosis of Lassa fever is very important because of the transmissibility of infection, the need for potent isolation of infected persons and for containing potentially infectious specimens during laboratory testing. Lassa fever was first elucidated in the 1950s, but the virus was not recognized until 1969 when it infected two missionary nurses in Lassa Village, Borno State, Northeastern Nigeria. Natal multimammate rat or common African rat of Mastomys genus are the reservoir of Lassa virus. When the rodents become infected with Lassa virus, they infect humans through their urine and faeces, but remain unharmed. Because of its similarities with other febrile diseases such as malaria, typhoid, Ebola hemorrhagic fever, early detection is difficult. Thus when persons have persistent fever not responding to normal conventional therapies, they should be screened for other possible causes (especially in endemic regions). When the presence of Lassa fever is established in a community, immediate isolation of infected individuals, screening, standard infection prevention and control practices and meticulous contact tracing can halt outbreaks. Treatment involves supportive measures and early use of the antiviral drug ribavirin.

The Western African Ebola virus epidemic (2013–2016) was the most widespread outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in history—causing major loss of life and socioeconomic disruption in the region, mainly in the countries of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. The first cases were recorded in Guinea in December 2013; later, the disease spread to neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone, with minor outbreaks occurring elsewhere. It caused significant mortality, with the case fatality rate reported which was initially considerable, while the rate among hospitalized patients was 57–59%, the final numbers 28,616 people, including 11,310 deaths, for a case-fatality rate of 40%.* Small outbreaks occurred in Nigeria and Mali,* and isolated cases were recorded in Senegal, the United Kingdom and Italy. In addition, imported cases led to secondary infection of medical workers in the United States and Spain but did not spread further.* The number of cases peaked in October 2014 and then began to decline gradually, following the commitment of substantial international resources. As of 8 May 2016 , the World Health Organization (WHO) and respective governments reported a total of 28,616 suspected cases and 11,310 deaths (39.5%), though the WHO believes that this substantially understates the magnitude of the outbreak.* [...]

Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds: toxicity in humans and animals, sources, and behaviour in the environment
Author: Jouko Tuomisto
Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds comprise a group of chemicals including polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF), as well as certain dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCB), and potentially others. They act via a common mechanism, stimulation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AH receptor, AHR), a vital transcription factor in cells. There are very high differences in potency among these compounds, i.e. in the ability to stimulate the receptor. This leads to ten thousand fold or higher differences in doses causing similar toxic effects. Most of these compounds are eliminated very slowly in the environment, animals, or humans, which makes them persistent. They are much more soluble in fat than in water, and therefore they tend to accumulate in lipid or fatty tissues, and concentrate along the food web (bioaccumulation and biomagnification). [...]

Objective: To assess and compare the readability of the twenty-five most accessed English medical articles on Wikipedia 0, 1, 5 and 10 years ago. Design: The twenty-five most accessed Wikipedia articles on diseases in August 2018 were identified for this study. The content of the lead paragraphs was formatted to remove any hyperlinks, decimals, colons, semicolons and periods used in abbreviations. An online tool was then used to assign a score to the readability of each text sample using the following formulae: Gunning FOG (Frequency of Gobbledygook) index, Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (F-K), Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG) and Flesch Reading Ease (FRE). A single reading grade (RG) was calculated for each passage by averaging scores from the FOG, SMOG and F-K tests to facilitate interpretation. These steps were repeated for the lead paragraph of the same medical articles as visible 1, 5 and 10 years ago on Wikipedia. Main Outcome Measures: Readability grade (RG) and reading ease (FRE score) [...]

Accelerated 5G SA Deployment in Singapore
ABI Research's IoT Market Tracker 5G (MD-IOTM5G-108) forecasts 5G IoT revenue to reach US$1.1 billion by 2025, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 154% between 2021 to 2026. This opportunity is being pursued by many countries as they roll out 5G networks, starting with Non-Stand-Alone (NSA) 5G, which utilizes the 4G Evolved Packet Core (EPC) to deliver 5G enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), with plans to upgrade NSA networks to Stand-Alone (SA), which will enable the full suite of 5G capabilities—including Ultra Reliable Low Latency (URLLC) and massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC).
However, Singapore Mobile Network Operator (MNO) Singtel, which owns Optus in Australia, is taking a different approach. While Singtel does operate 5G NSA networks with limited coverage, it is opting to directly build and deploy SA networks rather than extensively roll out 5G NSA and eventually upgrade it. The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) in Singapore has authorized the country's 3 MNOs (Singtel, M1, and Starhub) to build 2 SA 5G networks by 202…

A New Year's resolution to measure: #2015istheyear12:20AM | Friday, 19 December
It's January 1, 2015. You've put on four kilos over the last 10 days, having stuffed your face with empty carbs – delicious empty carbs – and feel somewhat guilty. So you make the resolution to join a gym, in order to lose that extra weight and then some, and be in good shape for the rest of the summer! You go out, purchase the 12 month gym membership – for value – and stop going approximately three weeks in, when your joints start aching and the memories of your recent gluttonous activities have faded. The problem? Your resolution sucked. 'Getting in shape' is an ambiguous goal. How do you know when you're in 'shape'? To have a better chance of keeping the resolution you need to get specific. Say, for example, to lose 8kgs by the end of March. This gives you something quantifiable to work towards. You can track your progress. Measure your gains (or in this case, losses). And there's a clearly definable point at which you've succeeded at your resolution. So what does all this have to do with startups? Well, if you've been following along with the previous articles in this series, at the least you'll have a lean canvas drawn up and filled with some assumptions you plan to test. But before you get to testing, you need to clearly define what results will validate your idea, and what falls short. In some cases this will be an obvious pass/fail type outcome, in others cases you will need to be far more specific. And it should go without saying that you need to track your progress as you go. Tracking your progress, along with knowing your metrics, is crucial to your startup's success. But it isn't as straightforward as you may think. It's easy to get caught up in tracking the wrong types of metrics: ones that don't actually give you an indication as to the health of your startup. Such metrics are often referred to as 'vanity metrics', because they sound good but don't really say much. An example of this is 'our product has been downloaded over 1 million times'. Sure sounds impressive, right? But how do you know. The fact that it has been downloaded a lot tells you nothing of the state of the product. And any savvy person in the startup scene will see through this type of metric immediately. Metrics that matter tend to be time sensitive. '1 million downloads in the last month' is far more encouraging than the first statement. Better still is '1 million active users per month' – indicating that not only is your product popular but it has sufficient value that people are engaging and staying engaged to some degree. The vanity metrics steal the headlines, but the metrics that matter are those that tell a more substantial story. So what type of metrics should you focus on at this early stage in your startup? Entrepreneur-turned-investor Dave McClure came out with a guide that goes by the acronym AARRR (which you can view in full via his presentation 'Startup Metrics for Pirates'), which stands for Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Revenue, Referral. In more detail, this looks like: Acquisition: The various channels by which people find out and visit your startup. These include both offline and online channels, ranging from traditional advertising in print, events, and PR, to more modern channels like SEO, AdWords, and content marketing. Activation: The moment a person uses or experiences your product/service for the first time. Note this is not the same as someone visiting your page or downloading your app. Examples of 'activation' include the first time you rode in an Uber cab, or the first time you 'tweeted' something on Twitter. Merely signing up to a service or downloading an app does not necessarily count as activation. It is the moment a person becomes a user of your product/service. Retention: Once a person has 'activated' and becomes a user of your service, do they come back? A user who comes back to your product/service post their first activation experience signifies that you have created something of value – one of the strongest indicators that your assumption about the problem you are solving is correct. That they come back, and later, how often they come back, are key metrics that you should be paying attention too very early on. Revenue: This one is the most straightforward of the lot. The more revenue you earn for your product/service, the better! It doesn't apply to all startups – there are now countless examples of companies that have been valued at and acquired for extremely large sums of money without ever seeing a cent in revenue – but for the vast majority of startups, revenue is a significant metric. Referral: This refers to the organic growth of your startup. To achieve what is known as 'viral growth', you will need every person who uses your product/service to actively refer more than 1 new person to your product/service. Very few businesses ever achieve viral growth, and even then it is more common in business to consumer (B2C) products/services like social networks and games. There are a lot of potential metrics to pay attention to, as outlined above. The approach you must take when starting out is to focus primarily on Activation and Retention. If you can create a product/service with strong metrics around Activation and Retention, you will have something worth paying attention to. You are far better off finding 100 people who absolutely love your product/service and could not live without it, than having 100,000 people who have tried your product/service but are only lukewarm about it. So that's it for the series, you've now got the know-how, the inspiration, and the time to make something happen over the coming holiday season.

How this Aussie startup plans to become a leading player in the booming world of bitcoin: #2015istheyear12:53PM | Thursday, 18 December
Today I'm joined by Asher Tan from CoinJar, a startup that lets you buy, sell, and manage your bitcoin. CoinJar was founded by Asher and Ryan Zhou in mid-2013 and it's been a whirlwind ride ever since. With something in the area of $50 million worth of transactions in their first 12 months of operations, they now have a team of 12 people and offices in Melbourne and London, as they look to become a world leading bitcoin exchange. AN: Asher, thank you for taking the time with me today, I know you just arrived back in the country from the new office in London. How is that going for you? Asher Tan: London is great. It's one of the finance centres of the world. The UK have very progressive laws relating to bitcoin that make it an attractive market, and one that we will be focusing our efforts on in the coming year. AN: Nice one. To take it back to the beginning, can you tell us what you were doing before startups? AsherT: I was working as an analyst, writing economic forecasts for a large firm. AN: And so what made you want to do a startup? AsherT: I've always enjoyed building and creating new things. And I think I've always had the startup bug in me, it just took a while for me to find it! In my previous job I had a small team working with me and tried to cultivate a close bond within the team, in order to reach and surpass our targets. The thing was, we bonded so well and met all our targets easily, yet head office didn't want us to do any more and probably viewed us as loose cannons. AN: Was there any trigger point, any incident in particular that spurred you into action? AsherT: Nothing specific, I was gradually getting more and more immersed in the local startup eco-system, going down to events, making friends with people actively working on startups. Reading all of Paul Graham's essays on the subject. Seeing other people build and create great product and companies – I wanted to do it too! AN: So how did you get the idea for CoinJar then. Were you on the bitcoin train from the early days? AsherT: I had been working on a completely different idea for a good six months before applying to AngelCube. I met Ryan online and another partner at a networking event, and we applied to AngelCube. During the interview process, they told us that they liked the team, but not the idea, and that if we wanted to get in we should change the idea. At the time I thought it was like Dragon's Den or The Shark Tank, and they were testing us to see our commitment. Turns out it wasn't a test. So over the weekend we brainstormed a bunch of other ideas, and CoinJar was the one we agreed upon. Thankfully AngelCube liked the idea as well, and the rest is history! AN: Haha, too funny! It sounds like you've never been short of ideas… When did you know that this was the one? AsherT: The early signs were good, even during the first few weeks of AngelCube it was obvious that we were having early signs of success relative to the other teams. For a while things were very stressful, but one of the mentors at AngelCube reminded us that the stress was due to our product being too popular, which is a really good problem to have. It wasn't too long into the CoinJar journey that we did our first million in transactions. From that point onwards there wasn't a doubt in my mind. AN: Indeed. Given how fast things have been moving with CoinJar, I'm sure you've hardly had time to take it all in. But to date what would you say has been the biggest lesson learnt? AsherT: When you can't figure things out that's what your co-founder is there for. Ryan built bitcoin businesses before, and especially at the start of our journey it was him leading the charge in terms of what direction we should take, what we need to build, etc. Some of his ideas were crazy, and we spent many a night arguing over what was worthwhile and what was not. Thankfully most of his ideas were right! AN: Excellent! And just lastly, do you have any advice for the would-be entrepreneurs out there reading along and getting inspired to be the next Asher Tan and Ryan Zhou? AsherT: Hustle. You have to use every resource at your disposal to keep your startup alive. At the end of AngelCube all the teams went to the US as part of the program, with the goal of raising a seed round. As a group we went down to a startup trade show called TechCrunch Disrupt, the thing is, all the other startups looked very slick and professional, with banners and display monitors and everything. As a three-month-old startup we had none of this. So what we did was go down to Best Buy and purchased the biggest screen we could get our hands on. We were careful to take very good care of it whilst in our possession and not remove any of the stickers. As a result, we were the only AngelCube team to have a display monitor in our booth, which we returned as soon as the trade show was done, so it cost us nothing"! AN: Wow, thanks a bunch, Asher. Best of luck with CoinJar in the coming year. Amir Nissen is program manager at AngelCube This is the part six of our #2015istheyear series. Part one – 2015 The year for my idea.

David Chung of etaskr on chucking in corporate life to chase the startup dream: #2015istheyear12:39PM | Wednesday, 17 December
Today we've got a case study of the corporate kind, bringing you up close and personal with David Chung, co-founder of etaskr – an online resourcing platform that is an enterprise software version of sites such as freelancer and oDesk. It aims to connect those looking for workers inside an organisation to those looking for work. The etaskr story is an interesting one because its roots stem from the corporate world, a world many consider to be diametrically opposed to the world of startups. Unlike many startup stories you hear emanating from entrepreneurship hubs like Silicon Valley – where the founders are college dropout computer hackers who built an app over a beer-driven weekend – etaskr was founded by two work colleagues who left the security of corporate life to pursue their dreams as entrepreneurs. I had the chance to sit down with David and find out what it was like to move from corporate to startup, how it helped, what adjustments needed to be made, and what he would have done differently if he had his time over. AN: Firstly David, can you give us a quick idea of your background? DC: I went along a pretty well-trodden path of good marks, a double degree in commerce and law then getting a few graduate offers of which I chose a management consultancy position at KPMG. I quickly realised that this was not going to work for me and I made the life-changing decision to resign. Serendipitously, I was recruited for a position in the innovation department at KPMG as an innovation analyst, and that I feel is the key moment that has led me to this great path of building a startup. AN: Interesting. So what was working in the innovation department of a large corporation like? DC: At the time, it was really exciting. We had a framework that was heavily directed by your own creativity that moved projects from ideation to testing as quickly as possible. Then if we got the right signals we would go to pilot and then production. Looking back on it now though, it's a much more conservative approach to building a startup but you're solving your company's problems and things move a lot slower because of how many stakeholders you have. It was certainly much more suited to me than consultant life though. AN: OK. And how did you manage that transition? DC: My manager and mentor Tom was really helpful, plus some books he recommended I read, namely: The Lean Startup by Eric Reis, and The Little Black Book Of Innovation by Scott Anthony, the latter dealing with corporate entrepreneurship. I think my people skills helped too as I got on really well with one key product developer, Pat, who helped teach me about product management, and we built some really cool things together. He eventually became my co-founder! AN: So what triggered you to leave corporate innovation and get into startups? DC: Well, funnily enough, I was researching an idea for work that involved co-working spaces. I made a visit to Inspire9 and while I was there I was explaining to Nathan (co-founder of AngelCube) what I do. He asked me if I had any ideas of my own and that if so I should apply to AngelCube as applications would be open for another week. Well, that got me thinking and back at work I asked Pat if he would be interested in joining me. He did, we drew up our plans for world domination, googled how to pitch and a few weeks later got in! AN: Sounds like it all happened rather quickly! DC: Yeah, it was crazy. We had to commit to AngelCube full-time, but to do that we had to resign from KPMG with one week's notice! Thankfully, my boss at KPMG was really understanding. He told us that he knew that we would one day apply everything we'd been doing and learning to the big bad world and we'd fly the coop. I felt like Anakin Skywalker saying goodbye to Obi-Wan – before he turned to the dark side of course. We still keep in touch and he's one of our biggest supporters. AN: And the idea for etaskr was one you picked up whilst at work? DC: So we got into AngelCube with a different idea, but they invested in us as a team, not the idea. So we decided to park it for a couple of days and just throw ideas around to see if we could come up with something a bit juicier. And so etaskr was born. The idea was heavily based on solving our own problem of working as consultants and being 'on the bench'. It's exactly what it sounds like – there's not enough work and you sit on the sidelines trying to look busy. Not having much work might not sound like a big problem to those who haven't worked inside a big firm, but it's a nightmare. You go from being motivated and ambitious to frustrated and anxious – but you're told it's all part of the job. What we've realised in the startup world though is that you don't just have to accept that – you can build crazy solutions that can change behaviour. AN: How did you find the shift from corporate life to startup life? DC: Pretty huge. First your mindset around 'work' completely changes. You no longer clock on, do your structured tasks that are managed and reviewed then clock off. You're constantly thinking about creative, meaningful things you can do for your startup. It doesn't really feel like work anymore – well apart from the compliance stuff – but you bring so much more energy into it because you don't see it as doing something for a pay cheque. You're doing something you're crazy about! AN: Cool. This has been great! Just lastly, what advice would you give to people working in the corporate world who are at this moment thinking about doing a startup? DC: If you're feeling underappreciated, disengaged and underutilised at work – well first off you should pitch etaskr to your boss because you'll begin discovering awesome opportunities inside your company you never knew existed. But secondly you should trust yourself to go out and build your own dream instead of someone else's. It's a huge learning curve, or learning cliff face as I like to call it – but startups bring the best out of you. To sum up – smart people should build things!

Why 'manual first' can help you MVP quicker: #2015istheyear12:34AM | Monday, 15 December
A common refrain in Silicon Valley is 'manual first', referring to all the different approaches you can take to validate and grow your startup idea before putting any time into building a web or mobile application. The reason this approach is so popular is due to the speed at which you can accomplish things. Speed is everything for a startup. It is one of your few natural advantages over pre-existing competition. Because you've invested so little in your idea to this point, it will never be quicker or easier to change what you're doing, be it slight changes or drastic ones. Big companies have mass, and with mass comes momentum. Momentum is great if you know where you are going, but crippling if you need to change directions suddenly. So how does 'manual first' equate to getting the ball rolling on your startup? The answer lies with an MVP. That's not a sports reference mind you, rather in this context MVP stands for minimum viable product. That's startup lingo for doing what you have to in order to learn whether the assumptions around your idea are valid. What this means in practice depends on the type of startup you're creating and the particular hypothesis you're hoping to test. Typically, you want to test the biggest assumptions in your business first, which usually equates to "will anyone use my product/service?" A good assumption to validate before going out and dedicating your life to making it happen, don't you think? In fact, everything we try to do as entrepreneurs, be it speaking to people, creating a lean canvas, and testing the various hypotheses within, is geared towards de-risking the startup as quickly as possible. So, what might an MVP look like for your idea? If your idea is for a product that you plan to sell and distribute online, one clever MVP is known as the 'smoke and mirrors' technique, which involves setting up a landing page for your 'product' (including relevant information such as price, benefits, feature set, etc), sending people to said landing page (often via some paid ads on Google, Facebook, or whatever platform is relevant for your target audience) and seeing how many people actually click the purchase button. The point of this exercise is that you find out relatively cheaply – whatever money you spent getting people to your 'product' website – if anyone wants what you have to offer. If no one bites then there's not much point in building out the product. You've invalidated the hypothesis that your product is the solution for a certain group of people, whom you believe suffer from a certain type of problem. From this you can deduce that: 1. The people who came to your site weren't the correct subsection of people (change your advertising). 2. The people coming to the site were OK but the positioning of the product was not (change the content of the landing page). 3. The offer wasn't compelling enough for the price (change the price). 4. People aren't really interested in the product (put more work into researching the problem – is it really a problem?) If your idea is more service than product, then you can utilise 'the Wizard of Oz' technique to validate your assumptions (the name bears homage to the old man who hides behind a curtain pretending to be a powerful wizard in the children's classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz). If your startup revolves around some type of service, the Wizard of Oz technique means physically complete the service by emulating the actions of what you would eventually code and automate. As an example, say you had an idea for an online gift recommendation service. Manually emulating the service in this case may take the form of finding potential gifts for a user by personally going through shopping catalogues looking for gift ideas that match said users preferences, then returning the results online as files in an email. To the user, there is no difference between an algorithm sourcing the gifts automatically and you working behind the scenes doing the same job. This approach often involves creating a site that is slightly more complicated than setting up a simple landing page and some ads, but generally not much more than an extra form field or two. Note that if you are completing manually what you intend to offer as an automated service, you shouldn't be shy about taking money for said services. Some tools that you might find useful for this part of the process include: Balsamiq – a wireframing tool that lets you sketch out your website or mobile application. Unbounce – a tool that lets you create, publish, and test landing pages for your startup. FluidUI – similar to Balsamiq, but with a later stage focus, higher resolution designs and the ability to put your prototype onto your mobile and test it out directly. Google AdWords – you know Google, you know ads on Google, this is where you go when you want to put your own ads on Google. Facebook have a similar platform you can find via https://www.facebook.com/advertising Wufoo – a customisable online form builder with no coding required. Regardless of what tools and techniques you use for the job, keep in mind that speed is the essential ingredient. The faster you can prototype, iterate and prove an assumption, the faster your idea transforms into a viable startup. So, get out of the building, speak to customers, figure out what they want, what it looks like, put that online, and see if anyone buys! From there it's wash, rinse, repeat… with one caveat which we'll cover in the next article! Amir Nissen is program manager at AngelCube This is the part four of our #2015istheyear series.

The year for my idea: #2015istheyear12:52AM | Tuesday, 9 December
In conjunction with AngelCube, this December StartupSmart is challenging all those would-be founders out there to turn their ideas into reality. Here's the first in a series of articles we'll be running over the next two weeks that we hope will provide some inspiration for those that need that extra push. Be sure to follow along, support one another, and share your journey using the hashtag #2015istheyear. Greetings and salutations! It's that time of year when we look back on what was, and ahead to what's next. It has been a huge year for startups, from Facebook's acquisition of WhatsApp for $19 billion to Melbourne's own LIFX raising a $12 million A round from Sequoia. There's been more than a few local success stories, and we've been lucky enough here at AngelCube to count some of our alumni amongst those. Australia has even got its very own Startup Show. The local startup scene is rocking! No doubt you're looking forward to some well-earned R&R over the Christmas/New Year period, spending time with the family, spending money on the family, eating enough food to feed a small family… And as you sit there, eyes glazed over in a food induced coma, you think about how the years fly by, each faster than the last. You start reflecting on what's going on in your life, what you've achieved and accomplished, and what you haven't. Chances are good that if you're reading this, one of those unfulfilled ambitions is to run a startup. The good news is, now is the best time, bar none, to do something about it! You're already set to make some New Year's resolutions right? Make one of those resolutions the commitment to starting. Do something about that frustrating problem at work. One thing that would make your life, or the life of someone close to you, that much better. That stroke of genius which will change the world and make you so rich that you could literally buy Christmas next time it rolls around. Now for the bad news: if you stay on the couch, nothing much will change (surprise surprise). This isn't a 12-month gym membership that you give up on by February, nor is it 12 months without drinking that you forget by Friday. It's simply a resolution to start. We'll cover what you need to know to get your startup off the ground over Christmas with some follow-up articles. But for now it's on you to make that commitment. Write it on your hand. Tape it to the back of the toilet door. You can even tweet about it – we've got you covered with a snazzy hashtag – #2015istheyear – should you decide to do so. Remember; there's no idea too crazy; no idea too small; no idea too ambitious. No one is saying your idea has to change the world. No one is saying you have to make the next Facebook, or be the next Elon Musk. But you have to do something. Otherwise it will be the end of 2015 before you know it, and you'll be sitting on your couch, eyes glazed over in a food induced coma, reflecting on how the years pass by ever faster, and your startup dreams remain unrealised. Committed and ready to get started? Good. Our next instalment in the series is 'How to validate your idea over Christmas' and it will be out shortly.

text: All, Alison has been looking for developer conferences where OWASP can partner with them to bring in OWASP speakers, or a whole app sec track, as well as some app sec training. The first one that she found that has expressed interest is Jazoon '08 (jazoon.com) which is a Java developer conference in Switzerland. I have agreed to attend, give a talk (I've proposed ESAPI), and deliver an OWASP branded 1-day Java web app sec tutorial. They have guaranteed us one slot, and might be able to give us a 2nd one. The conference is June 24-26 in Zurich. Dinis or Seba, are either of you interested in attending, giving a talk if they are interested? The 2nd talk I proposed is a bit more mundane but I think perfect for this audience, which is simply a talk on the OWASP Top 10. I could do that one too, but another OWASP rep would be good. I'm hoping that we can find other developer conferences to work with as well, like the Microsoft series, Javaone, etc. Andrew is working on a talk for the large open source conference held in Oregon each year. (The O'Reilly sponsored one). If you have suggestions of any other conferences to target, and if you have contacts with any of them, please let Alison know.

I need a way to display all sub category products in a top level category. So how would I do this?
The reason for this is because of a postage problem and basically products have to be broken down into First Class Post and Track and Trace Post. The cart has been set up so that people ordering track and trace only get the option to select track and trace at the cart. People ordering first class get both postage options. This relies on the categories being broken in two, however I don't want the customer to know about the First Class and Track and Trace sub categories which is why I need all sub category products listed in the top level category.
This is how the category tree is built
- First Class
- Track and Trace
So basically I need all products which are inside the 'First Class' and 'Track and Trace' categories to be listed in the Chemicals category on the site, but in the admin listed in 'First Class' and 'Track and Trace'.

Survey says they make almost 30 per cent more than those working in other tech hubs
Starting from February 2, 2022, employees can work for more than one employer in the UAE under the new labour laws announced on Monday.
Under the Federal Law No. 33 of 2021 regulating labour relations, employees in the private sector can work part-time, temporary or flexible.
Introducing new types of work, besides the regular full-time scheme, safeguards employee rights, enabling them to engage in more than one job and use their skills differently.
Part-time work allows employees to work for one or more employers for a specified number of hours or days scheduled for work.
Temporary work can be a contract for a specific period or on a project basis that ends with the job's completion.
Flexible work gives employees the freedom to work at different times depending on the conditions and requirements of the job, in addition to the full-time work currently prevalent in the labour market. The contract under the new law covers hours or days of performance that may change depending on the employer's volume of work, economic variables, and operational variables.
Further models of work, including self-employment and condensed working weeks, are expected to be introduced once the executive regulations are laid out to oversee the law implementation.
The new law enables employers to hire workers with expired contracts but are still in the country through simple and flexible procedures. Besides granting employee flexibility, it will also help employers to harness different talents and competencies at the lowest operating cost and will improve their ease of doing business.
Can you work for two employers at one time in UAE?
The executive regulations of the law will specify the responsibilities of both parties, including gratuity at the end of the employment relationship, depending on each work model.

What's more unpleasant than sweating at work? The sweat that runs down your forehead, temples and then slips into your shirt collar while sitting at the computer. Not all companies have air conditioning, and some (by force or by 'vocation') do not keep it at temperatures compatible with human life. In an increasingly hot world, there is a hunt for how to make up for it by bypassing the air conditioner.
Some choose huge fans in the room, while others choose small ones to place right on their shoulders. The disadvantage of these fans is that they direct the air directly to the face and are not very attractive. Think about a telecommuting videoconference where you would see yourself with a fan in front of the camera? I don't see it feasible. This new concept of "shirt" air conditioner invented by Kevin Von it could represent a turning point.
How is this shirt conditioner made?
When it comes to keeping cool while walking around town, very light and sporty clothing is the best there is. Just the kind of clothes that are seen worse in the workplace, by the way. It is not easy to reconcile current technology with the sobriety of clothing: we have already talked about some "personal" air conditioners such as the Reon Pocket by Sony. The Japanese contraption works and is sold, but it costs around € 100, requires special t-shirts (at € 20 each) and does not yet have the air of a product that could win over a large audience.
This Portable Fan II invented by Kevin Von and instead a small 3D printed object that slips into the collar of your shirt and brings freshness from the base of the neck towards the face. Fresh air comes blown all around your head and no longer directly on the face. It works (guess what?) Thanks to a companion app on your smartphone that allows you to choose the temperature, and to regulate the power of the expelled air. Beautiful, is not it? Or not?
I have the impression that you are not yet persuaded to buy a personal air conditioner. I can't blame you, everything still feels so embryonic to me, and this "shirt" fan is no exception.
Do we have alternative remedies?
If you don't like these little "not always necessary" gadgets, here are some ideas to keep your room cool without relying on technology. S.and work remotely, choose a location north of your house: place yourself as far as possible from the window and equip it with blinds or blackout curtains. Avoid over-lighting the room (small LED desk lamps are enough). If it's really hot, place a frozen bottle of water in front of the fan blades (not pointed at you): sometimes having a future is also a matter of practical traditions :)

What is sexy? Is it tight, black lace? Coy confidence? Showing a little skin? In the world of Burlesque shows, sexy can be any of these things as long as it keeps your eyes glued to the tantalizing dancer. Burlesque shows are strip shows with sass that depend more on teasing the audience than wham-bamming them with nudity. Don't get me wrong, there is definitely nudity in Burlesque, but it's all about the style. St.
We've all seen the videos from Mardi Gras down in New Orleans and thought, "I want to be there." But you don't have to drive 10 hours for all the fun. After the Big Easy, St. Louis has one of the biggest Mardi Gras celebrations in the country. Located down in Soulard, the events stretch out over the entire week and appeal to everyone from hardcore partiers to families to foodies.
It's that time of year again: time for million-dollar commercials, hyped-up halftime shows and some good ol' American football. The Super Bowl, for those who don't already know, is at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday on CBS. The teams fighting for glory this year are the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints, with The Who performing during halftime.
We've been back in school now for a whole week, so chances are you're already ready for an escape. Last Thursday was "Senior Night" on Laclede's Landing, and it reminded me of how easily that place can make you forget classes or forget the whole night if you're not careful.
Let's face it. St. Louis is really only known for three things: the Arch, the Cards and Bud. After living here for a while, you begin to take some of these things for granted, especially Anheuser-Busch products.
Say you find yourself stuck in St. Louis over Thanksgiving Break. There will be no turkey, mashed potatoes or pumpkin pie and the weekend is shaping up to be just like any other: writing papers, catching up on work and enjoying some time outside of the library.
Some nights you just gotta dance. You feel a good beat, your foot starts to tap, and you gotta move to the dance floor. On Saturday, the Washington University Swing Dance Club is bringing in a band to give you those impulsive dancing feelings.
