Researchers probe immune response in the wombs of in-season mares
Researchers have used genetic sequencing to learn more about the immune response in the womb in horses when in season.
In doing so, the University of Melbourne study team cast fresh light on endometritis – an infection of the lining of the inner womb – which can affect reproduction of mares.
Equine endometritis is a local inflammation of the superficial layers of the uterus. It has been ranked as the third most common medical problem of adult horses by equine practitioners in the United States, with about 15 percent of all thoroughbred mares showing signs of persistent mating-induced endometritis.
The decrease in pregnancy rates in affected mares causes significant losses to horse breeding industries, the authors said.
Transient endometritis is the physiological response to the arrival in the womb of sperm, seminal plasma, cell debris and bacteria during natural breeding or artificial insemination. This, they said, had also been described in other mammals, including dogs.
Healthy mares are able to clear the contamination of their uterus within six hours after breeding.
In contrast, mares susceptible to persistent mating-induced endometritis show a prolonged inflammatory response lasting up to 96 hours after breeding, and bacterial uterine infections were found in 25-60% of barren mares.
The two most commonly isolated organisms, Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus (Sc. zooepidemicus) are both considered opportunistic pathogens, suggesting that the phenomenon may be more related to host factors than the virulence of the bacteria.
Similar conditions, they said, can be seen in the genital tract of other species, including cattle, sows, bitches and humans, when increased numbers of bacteria meet a weak immune system.
Bacterial growth, inflammatory cell migration and clinical illness seemed to be correlated with high progesterone concentrations, while oestrus conditions significantly reduced the incidence of persistent infection and inflammation in the uterus.
Christina Marth and her colleagues, writing in the journal BMC Genomics, said the steroid hormone environment in healthy horses seemed to have a significant impact on the efficiency of their uterine immune response.
They set out to characterize the changes in gene expression in the equine endometrium – the mucous membrane that lines the inside of the womb – in response to the introduction of bacterial pathogens and the influence of steroid hormone concentrations on this expression.
They analyzed endometrial biopsies collected from five 3-4-year-old standardbred horses both before and 3 hours after the introduction of Escherichia coli once in season, and then five days after ovulation.
Comparison between time points revealed that 2422 genes were expressed at significantly higher levels and 2191 genes at significantly lower levels three hours after the introduction of the pathogens in oestrus in comparison to pre-inoculation levels.
Five days after coming into season, the expression of 1476 genes was up-regulated and 383 genes were down-regulated after the introduction of the pathogens.
The researchers noted that E. coli was the bacteria most commonly isolated from mares with fertility problems. The bacterium had a generation time of around 20 minutes, highlighting the need for a rapid immune response to contain the infection. However, an excessive or prolonged inflammatory response will damage tissue integrity and, in the uterus, also interfere with successful pregnancy.
"The results of this study emphasize the complexity of an effective uterine immune response during acute endometritis and the tight balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory factors required for efficient elimination of bacteria," they reported.
"However, while we have identified a large number of genes of potential interest, future studies will need to examine protein expression."
They said their work was one of the first high-throughput genetic analyses of the uterine inflammatory response in any species and several new potential targets for treatment of inflammatory diseases of the equine uterus had been identified.
Overall, their data suggested that antimicrobial peptides may have received less attention than they deserved as potential treatment targets for equine endometritis.
Marth was joined in the research by Neil Young, Lisa Glenton, Glenn Browning and Natali Krekeler, all from the University of Melbourne; and Drew Noden, from Cornell University in New York.

| See Levi? Now we can see everything that's going on
at the party. I went from Spa-mama to Spy-mama!
|— Raven to Levi watching the spycam feed.
It's Your Party and I'll Spy If I Want To is the nineteenth episode in Season 2 of Raven's Home and the thirty-second overall. It first aired on November 9, 2018 to 0.85 million viewers.[1]
When Nia and Booker throw an epic 13 birthday party with no moms or kids allowed, they're forced to tell Raven and Levi they can't attend.[2]
Full Plot
Nia and Booker are turning 13, and Raven is planning an epic birthday party for them. The twins can't wait to officially become teens. They are excited to invite their friends but their friends are not impressed to hear that Raven is planning it. Tess agrees with Sienna, Curtis and The Guntz that the twins should plan their own party. The friends convince the twins it should be a teen-only party and that means they shouldn't invite their mom or kids like Levi.
Back at home, Booker and Nia struggle to break the news to Raven and Levi. Raven greets them with tears of joy because she's so excited to plan their 13-themed party. Unfortunately, they tell her that not only are they planning their own party but she isn't even invited. Levi comes in and gets his own un-invitation. Both Raven and Levi don't process the news well. They are beyond disappointed. Raven feels like crying. Levi stops talking to Booker.
The next day at school, the Baxter twins start telling their friends about their no-rules teenage party. Curtis and The Guntz start asking Booker about Nia's favorite color, hoping for a chance to dance with her during the party. At the same time, Zeena starts asking Nia about Booker's preferences, making it clear that she has a crush on Booker. Both Nia and Booker are creeped out by their friends having crushes on them. So, they each separately come to a conclusion that they should throw separate parties - girls with Nia; boys with Booker.
The separate parties turn out to be extremely boring. The friends want to party together but the twins don't let them. Nia wants the girls to put on avocado face masks and lie on the couch waiting for them to dry. Booker wants the boys to play laser tag but they just want to be with the girls. Meanwhile, Raven wants to sneak into the parties but Levi and Sebastian try to stop her. She puts on spy cameras but Nia and Booker quickly figure it out and confront her. Nia and Booker agree that both of their parties are boring. They decide to merge them but it's too late. Everyone has already given up and is ready to go home. Booker and Nia try to excite the crowd but the twins end up awkwardly dancing together.
While climbing out the window to sneak into the joint twins' party, Raven slips and starts falling. They call a fire truck to rescue her. Afterwards the fireman invites the kids to hang at the firetruck but they're not too excited. At that point, Nia and Booker realize that it is worthless trying so hard to prove they're grown up to their friends. They say that they should have let their mother plan an amazing party instead of kicking her out just to impress their friends. They apologize to Raven and Levi.

How To Build A Better Montage: Oscar Meet Jimmy Kimmel's Movie: The Movie
Forget about prestige films, nostalgia and nominees that the Joe Sixpack viewers in TV land have never heard of, what it all boils down to is that most people want big-name stars, asinine plots, a glutinous amount of CGI, and tons of marketing that hypnotize them into thinking they are watching something great.
If you stayed up late and caught Jimmy Kimmel's Post-Oscar special, then you got a taste of what the public demands. The more than 8-minute spoof trailer for Movie: The Movie gives us Hollywood's biggest stars, including Oscar winners and nominees. Among the luminaries you have George Clooney as "The World's Greatest Scientist", Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren, Tom Hanks as RoboLawyer, Gary Oldman as a Centaur, and Matt Damon as an underwear model (if you're thinking like Mark Wahlberg, you're wrong).

The Women of Strategic Marketing – Emily O'Dea
In our series to celebrate Women's History Month this week, we discover a little more about Emily O'Dea. Emily moved up the career ladder at Strategic Marketing from Account Manager to Director of Account Services and now Vice President. On March 8th, at 31 years old she was granted a seat on Strategic Marketing's Board of Directors and promoted to Vice President of Account Services. Having worked with a variety of industry clients, Emily's leadership contributes to the success of the team and getting the job done.
How did you get to the position you have today? Can you share your professional story?
Hard work, patience, great ideas and sheer tenacity.
I've always been an all or nothing person. If something is worth doing, then I put 150% effort into it. I learn everything that I can, and I apply that knowledge while working as hard as I possibly can. I take this approach with both short- and long-term goals.
My professional story started when I took my first class in marketing. I was not a marketing major; however, my school required that in our freshman year we take a "learning community" class in a major different than the one we had chosen. I was a psych major at the time so I chose to take a marketing class called Consumer Behavior. I was fascinated. I wanted to learn more about marketing so I set myself up with a summer internship in the advertising department of Conde Nast.
While untangling necklaces in a style closet for hours alongside my boss, I learned that the fashion/ publishing world was not for me. However, I was intrigued by the ad agencies sending us the creative ads for our magazine so I kept interning, but this time on the agency side.
Since graduating, I've continued to work in advertising over the past ten years. I joined Zimmerman as a Traffic Coordinator and then switched to Account Services. After Zimmerman, I went to a boutique digital agency and then onto the client side as a Marketing Director before joining the team at Strategic Marketing.
Along the way I learned to speak up when you have a good idea, learn everything you can and work hard.
How hard or easy was it to get in the job market when you started?
I graduated in 2009. That was a really hard year to get hired for any industry, especially marketing. Before graduating, I anticipated this challenge so I interned every single semester to ensure I had an edge when the time came to get a full-time job. I also realized that no one really knew a whole lot about digital marketing and that presented an opportunity to carve out a little niche in a tough job market.
Was working in the Advertising and Marketing industry always on your radar?
Not at all. I went to college undecided but firm on the fact that I wasn't going to be a business person. I saw myself as the creative type with an aptitude for science. Then through the classes I took I realized that advertising is about being both creative and analytical in a collaborative environment. I tell students all the time to get out and intern because before I did, I never really knew my job existed.
What are some characteristics of a great leader in your perspective?
To me, great leadership is about being out in the trenches with your team doing the hard work and leading the charge. Leadership is letting your hard work and passion for the project inspire your team to do their best.
Any life lessons that you learned in your career that you believe helped you to make it where you are today?
Take the risk. If you want something, ask for it. If you don't get it, let your work speak for itself and ask again.
Do you believe in the power of diversity?
Absolutely. Whether it's through the relationships we build with our clients or through the creative the end consumers are seeing, we're in the business of connecting with people. Having empathy for experiences that differ from your own are of paramount importance when making that connection. Having diversity within your team is a powerful catalyst to developing that empathy and understanding so that you can make a more impactful and authentic connection.
Do you think that the women in leadership make any difference in your organization?
Of course, and the answer is twofold. We have long understood that the woman is the buyer in the household. Most consumer advertising needs a female perspective in order to create a stronger connection with that consumer. Secondly, the next generation of adwoman need more role models.
In this fast-paced market, people are always trying to do things better, faster and smarter. Can you share how you made a project more efficient?
Finding and implementing the right software that elevates the quality of our product and arms the team with the tools they need to get the job done correctly.
What's your superpower?
Multitasking. Keeping all of the plates spinning and switching gears at a moment's notice.
Any advice for entrepreneurs that want to partner with Strategic Marketing?
Creative is subjective and targeted toward a specific audience and goal. When an agency creates work for you, seeking too many outside opinions can create feedback that mucks up the intended message.
How does your career background contribute for you to make great work at Strategic Marketing today?
Having experience on both the agency and client side helps me to better connect with my clients and teammates. The one-woman-show marketing director role I once had directly before coming to Strategic made me very resourceful, which is a powerful trait to have in an industry that continues to change.
How would you describe your working style?
I plan as much as I can knowing that the most carefully laid plans will still need a back-up.
Any company run or founded by Women that you would like to have as a client?
Orangetheory Fitness! Hit me up! We've got expertise in franchise marketing and we're ready to help each of your locations succeed.

The Women of Strategic Marketing – Mary Murphy
To celebrate Women's History month in 2019, we are dedicating a space in our blog to share some interesting stories from the female professionals at Strategic Marketing. Discover why we are so fortunate to have such an amazing group of women as part of our advertising agency.
Vice President and Founder Mary Murphy grew up in Texas and worked her way up in the radio business before founding Strategic Marketing in 1992 with her husband Terry Murphy.
How did you get to the position you have today? Can you share your professional story?
My first job was when I was in fifth grade. My father was an insurance agent in central Texas, and he paid me 25 cents an hour to clean out boxes and boxes of expired insurance policies in a dusty storeroom over the course of about three weeks. I worked there through high school and summers, so I learned a lot about insurance. While I was in college, my father bought several radio stations, and I dove right in after graduation. Several years later, he started a bi-weekly newspaper, and I served as assistant editor. I also worked a short time at a small ad agency and worked for one of my cousins in our family's real estate business. When I moved to Palm Beach County, I landed a position at a radio station here and eventually moved to the corporate office. All of this experience gave me a broad base of knowledge to do what I do today.
How hard was it to get in the job market when you first started?
I was pretty lucky since my dad always had a place for me in his companies, I was able to gain a lot of skills that were in high demand.
Was working in the Advertising and Marketing industry always on your radar?
My degree is a BBA in Management, but I took the required marketing courses as well as some marketing electives, so I was already quite interested in this field before I went to work in radio.
What are some characteristics of a great leader in your perspective?
Vision, the ability to build a great team, and to deeply care about the members of the team. I don't know who originally said this, but it's true, "people don't care about how much you know until they know how much you care."
Any life lessons that you learned in your career that you believe helped you to make it where you are today?
My father-in-law always said, "The harder you work, the luckier you get." There were some really crazy times early on when Terry and I were working days, nights and weekends, while also raising a family. Some days, it was complete chaos. But we worked through it, and it's paid off. When opportunity comes knocking, be ready to open the door!
Do you believe in the power of diversity?
Absolutely. One of the most interesting things about living in South Florida is that almost everyone is from somewhere else–including me–and we all bring unique perspectives, experiences and skill sets to the table. As marketing people, we have to tailor our messaging to diverse groups of people. What resonates with one segment of the population may completely miss the mark with another segment. Having a diverse team at Strategic Marketing helps us to do our best work for our clients.
Do you think that women in leadership make any difference in your organization?
Well, as the Vice President, I like to think so! I hope that our team knows that my door is always open to anyone who wants to pop in with a question or to discuss an issue or even a personal problem. The only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked!
In this fast-paced market, people are always trying to do things better, faster and smarter. Can you share how you made a project more efficient and less expensive?
About 10 years ago, we migrated to a new accounting program, which has not only saved us many hours of time and maybe hundreds of cartons of paper, but has allowed us to increase our volume without adding staff. Also, our payment process to vendors is much more efficient than before.
What's your superpower?
Proofreading…. I often catch mistakes that other people miss. The superpower I would love to have would be to meet someone and instantly know their story, what their life has been like, what makes them tick, their passions and their challenges. This would be extremely helpful when interviewing candidates for positions at Strategic Marketing!
Any advice for entrepreneurs that want to partner with Strategic Marketing?
Learn from our experience. Over these 27 years we have accumulated a lot of knowledge and have a very good sense about what works and what does not.
How has your career background contributed to your good work at Strategic Marketing today?
Pretty much all of my experience prior to founding Strategic Marketing has funneled into what I do today to some extent.
How would you describe your working style?
Multi-tasking…I can jump from developing a TV script to reviewing financial reports to writing a legal contract to screening resumes and much more in any single day. I prefer to try to focus on one thing at a time, start to finish, but life doesn't happen that way. I'm also a night owl, and do a lot of things after dinner when it's quiet and I can concentrate better. Like right now–it's 10:52!
Are there any companies run or founded by women that you would like to have as a client?
As a Texas girl, I am very fond of Southern cuisine, and one of my favorite local restaurants is The Regional. I think Lindsay Autry would be a fun client to have.

Five Benefits of a Customer Database
Knowing your customer base is a crucial component of a successful business. A customer database is a collection of information about all the customers that have made a purchase from your business. It is the most powerful tool at your disposal. After all, what's better than repeat business? If you're not taking advantage of your customer database you're missing out on potential sales. Here are the top 5 benefits to using your customer database for your marketing efforts.
Create Brand Affinity
Today's customers want to buy from businesses they know and love. When armed with a customer database, you have the ability to build brand affinity by sending out marketing emails to people that have opted to receive them. Reaching out to customers by sharing new products, special offers or company news can help them feel connected to your business and nurture a relationship of trust.
Develop Customer Loyalty
A customer database allows your business to identify the most loyal and profitable customers. You'll be able to target and give the red carpet treatment to this segmented audience. An effective way to reach these customers is through email marketing that takes the preferences of the customer into account. This engages customers, building further brand loyalty, and can inspire them to share your brand with friends and family. Not to mention, sending them special discounts and offers is a great way to encourage new purchases.
Provide Better Customer Service
Happy customers equal good business. Database marketing allows you to develop a stronger relationship with your customers. Having information like buying behavior, post-purchase feedback and reviews allows businesses to take a consumer-centric approach to customer service. Keeping up to date with the wants of your customer base allows the insight necessary to personalize communication so you can serve them better.
Direct Channel to Customers
One of the key benefits of a customer database is that it is a collection of actual customers that have purchased from you in the past. The foremost benefit of leveraging these names is that because they are verified customers, they are already interested in your product or service. The desire to purchase from your business is higher than it would be if you were prospecting for new customers.
Launching New Products
Rolling out new products to a small segment of your audience is a great way to test the water before launching it on a wider scale. You can target an audience based on information from your customer database. Selecting a group of your most trusted customers can allow a business to gather constructive feedback that can help improve later versions of the product. Keeping a pulse on what customers think and want is a great way to enhance the products you offer and how you offer them.
Take Your Brand to the Next Level with Strategic Marketing

The author finds out that good intentions alone are not enough when his attempt to be kind to an old man leaves them both feeling worse than before.The Sampler
In a certain store where they sell puddings, a number of these delicious things are laid out in a row during the Christmas season. Here you may select the one which is most to your taste, and you are even allowed to sample them before coming to a decision.I have often wondered whether some people, who had no intention of making a purchase, would take advantage of this privilege. One day I asked this question of the shop girl, and I learned it was indeed the case."Now there's one old gentleman, for instance," she told me, "he comes here almost every week and samples each one of the puddings, though he never buys anything, and I suspect he never will. I remember him from last year before that, too. Well, let him come if he wants it, and welcome to it. And what's more, I hope there are a lot more stores where he can go and get his share. He looks as if he needed it all right, and I suppose they can afford it."She was still speaking when an elderly gentleman limped up to the counter and began looking closely at the row of puddings with great interest."Why, that's the very gentleman I've been telling you about," whispered the shop girl." Just watch him now." And then turning to him:" Would you like to sample them, sir? Here's spoon for you to use."The elderly gentleman, who was poorly but neatly dressed, accepted the spoon and began eagerly to sample one after another of the puddings, only braking off occasionally to wipe his red eyes with a large torn handkerchief."This is quite good.""This is not bad either, but a little too heavy."All the time it was quite evident that he sincerely believed that he might eventually buy one of these puddings, and I am positive that he did not for a moment feel that he was in any way cheating the store. Poor old chap! Probably he had come down in the world and this sampling was all that was left him from the time when he could afford to come and select his favorite pudding.Amidst the crowd of happy, prosperous looking Christmas shoppers, the little black figure of the old man seemed pitiful and out of place, and in a burst of benevolence, I went up to him and said:"Pardon me, sir, will you do me a favor? Let me purchase you one of these puddings. It would give me such pleasure."He jumped back as if he had been stung, and the blood rushed into his wrinkled face."Excuse me," he said, with more dignity than I would have thought possible considering his appearance, "I do not believe I have the pleasure of knowing you. Undoubtedly you have mistaken me for someone else." And with a quick decision he turned to the shop girl and said in a loud voice, "Kindly pack me up this one here. I will take it with me." He pointed at one of the largest and most expensive of the puddings.The girl took down the pudding from its stand and started to make a parcel of it, while he pulled out a worn little black pocketbook and began counting out shillings and pennies on to the counter. To save his "honour" he had been forced into a purchase which he could not possibly afford. How I longed for the power to unsay my tactless words! It was too late though, and I felt that the kindest thing I could do now would be walk away."You pay at the desk," the shop girl was telling him, but he did not seem to understand and kept trying to put the coins into her hand.

Finding the Magic
at The Flying Goose Brew Pub
Story and photos by Carolyn Choate
Fiddlehead Contributing Writer
The Flying Goose Brew Pub & Grille in New London has raised the bar on sustainability.
It claims to be most eco-friendly microbrewery in the state – and its beer and locally sourced pub food has set new standards as well.
"Back in the early 1990s there was nothing special about this restaurant and we knew it," said Tom Mills of his family business, which was known as Four Corners Grille at the time. "We needed some magic in a big way."
Originally from Chappaqua, N.Y., with degrees in math and economics from Bowdoin College, Mills began looking for the ultimate sorcery that would turn the financially lackluster New London property into a niche destination. Ideally located just off Interstate 89 in one of New Hampshire's premier tourist regions, he knew he had to do something radical.
That's when he and a good friend Doug Perry, an avowed beer lover, started researching the microbrewery phenomenon just as it was taking off in select parts of the country. Field trips to Portland – east coast and west – as well as Martha's Exchange in Nashua and the Ipswich Ale Brewery in Massachusetts, which opened in 1991, would prove the inspiration for Flying Goose Brew Pub & Grille.
After considerable changes to the main floor of the restaurant to partition a separate bar area, the basement was completely renovated to install the brewery. The restaurant land now features a well-tended plot of hops flourishing in summer just beyond the dining room's picture windows with a spectacular view of Mt. Kearsarge. There's also a 41-kilowatt solar farm next to the parking lot.
Brew Master Rik Marley makes some 20 flavorful varieties on a regular basis. Flying Goose Pale Ale, Honey, I Shrunk the IPA and Pleasant Lake Pilsner, to name a few, are chilled and poured in frosty glasses and served upstairs in the restaurant and in the pub that's part New England ski lodge, part flea market and always a comfortable place to gather regardless of the season.
When Marley spouts off about the Lupulin Suplex Double IPA he's making of late and how he barely keeps up with the demand, he beams and goes on to talk about the brewery's new equipment for better decoction mashing as if it's a fine Italian sports car.
"Job? If you like what you do, you don't work a day in your life," said Marley.
A craft beer convert going on 20 years, Marley started brewing his own more potent, flavorful varieties rather than settle for the watered-down commercial labels. He knew he was onto something when, from an old van, he sold 30 cases at a Phish concert in Montana and fans begged for more at the next gig.
"At night, I dream about beer recipes," said Marley. He gestures to all the new stainless steel brew tanks and computer panels. "The Flying Goose is one of the most technically advanced breweries in the state for its size – both in equipment and its use of alternative energy."
According to the website, flyinggoose.com, that 180-panel solar photovoltaic array next to the parking lot generates about 30 percent of the electricity used by the brew pub, offsetting its carbon footprint by more than 100 tons, which is comparable to nine acres of trees. Despite a considerable investment, Mills says it easily paid for itself in five years.
Marley, who has been part of the Flying Goose family for five years, said craft beer continues to break social norms. No longer just the common working man's libation of choice, it continues to gain popular appeal and respect among the well-heeled. And given its enormous flavor profile possibilities, he thinks it pairs better with food than wine.
Enter Marley's equally talented counterpart Chef JoJo Paquin.
"On weekends, we easily have three seatings for the 80-seat dining room and the busy pub for another 97," said Paquin. "The teriyaki steak, with Maine Family Farms grass-fed beef, is one of our best-selling entrees and, thanks to this renovation, we can do a lot more prep work in more spacious conditions."
There's been an overall uptick in sales and interest since Paquin introduced locally sourced poultry, grass-fed beef and pork about three years ago. This year he's added organic salmon from Wood Mountain Fish in Boston and is excited about announcing a partnership with a New Hampshire farm for seasonal vegetables.
Paquin is especially proud of the crowd-pleasing burger selection, which is entirely locally sourced. And whether you're up for the Miles Smith grass-fed beef Goose Burger, the Battles Farm Beefalo Burger or the Misty Knoll Farm Turkey Burger, there's a 100 percent chance you'll find the perfect Flying Goose beer to pair with it.
Up for something a little more sophisticated? Choose from the oodles of Paquin's creative comfort concoctions on the full menu like Battles Farm lamb kebobs, Misty Knoll chicken broccoli lasagna or the organic pan-seared salmon. Smaller appetites will appreciate the variety offered in appetizers, soups and salads. The Jonah crab-stuffed avocado and the ale and onion soup are uncommon and uncommonly good.
It looks like Mills found that magic he was looking for in the form of sustainability, good food and awesome beer.

Hermann Wine Trail 7 Hills of Hermann Ride Ride
Great turn-out for the 2nd annual 7 Hills of Hermann Ride. Seems that my expectations are always exceeded when it comes to rider turn out. I anticipated 60-70 riders yesterday, ended up with 118! As you can imagine I ran out of things, medals and food to name a few. But the great folks that helped me with race improvised and we made it through with limited disruption to the fun of the riders.
Next year I guess I will have to plan for 300. Thanks to all that came out!

When Bryce Rezansoff walked into our offices wanting suggestions for the carpet that would be going into one of the most iconic buildings in our Beautiful Assiniboine Park Conservatory Atrium, we couldn't have been more excited. He wanted something bold, classic and stunning. This building has hosted some of the best parties and weddings in the city and after over 20 years needed a refresh. The room is clad in windows from floor to ceiling so in the day time the floor speaks for itself as we picked the Bold Blue Silken Sapphire Power Bond carpet from Tandus's Tapis collection. This carpet was the perfect choice for a space that holds weddings, fashion shows, art exhibits, or luncheons. The ability to make repairs quickly with the Powerbond system was a no brainer. At night you can see the stars and the carpets dark moody feel is a perfect reflection.
In a small room off to the side where the bar is located we did some Brass inlays and a classics white and black checkerboard install with Altro Walkway LVT. A perfect compliment to the timeless pattern of the Tapis collection.
When the board was presented with the carpet option they were unsure of the pattern, our Tandus Rep insisted we bring in a larger piece, when they saw it unrolled into the room the decision was made to move forward and order and install!
It was a big gesture but we knew the minute they saw a big piece in the space it would solidify their decision.
The pavilion is now a local hotspot for photoshoots for event planners and wedding photos. I see it on social media posts on a weekly basis.

Thanks for stopping by! If you are planning a wedding at Riverway Clubhouse in Burnaby and still need a photographer I'd love to hear from you! Please use the contact form at the top of the page or email me directly at email@example.com. I am currently booking Vancouver and Cape Town weddings for this year and next.
Vancouver vendors who helped make this Riverway Clubhouse Wedding happen:
Day of Coordinator // The Flower Girl
Videographer // Intuno
Florist // The Flower Girl
Hair + Makeup // The Glamoury
Caterer + Venue // Riverway Clubhouse
DJ // Divinity DJ's
There are golf course wedding venues and then there is the Riverway Clubhouse. This grand venue is unlike any other in Vancouver. With soaring ceilings, naturally-inspired wood beams and floor to ceiling windows the Riverway Clubhouse is in my opinion the best golf course wedding venue in Vancouver. With both indoor and outdoor wedding ceremony options and a massive reception space for up to 210 the clubhouse is very versatile. Tanya and Faisal chose to have their ceremony on the back deck overlooking the golf course. The huge awnings not only provide shade for their guests (very important for an outdoor wedding) but also looked good too. The recently added bridal suite at Riverway Clubhouse provided the perfect space for Tanya to get final touchups before the wedding ceremony. Following the ceremony guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the huge covered patio. For those wanting a natural feel to their wedding venue without being right in the middle of the forest, the Riverway Clubhouse offers it. The floor-ceiling windows and tall ceilings allow for plenty of natural light, perfect for those romantic wedding photos. The indoor wedding reception space is also versatile and perfect for large weddings. Tanya and Faisal chose to decorate the inside with string lights and it added the right touch to the already natural space. When it comes to wedding photos at Riverway Clubhouse you are spoilt for choice. The golf course itself is beautiful and wide open which makes for perfect sunset photo opportunities. There is also a stunning riverside park just a minute down the road. Below are a few other details that help make Riverway Clubhouse the perfect venue for your Vancouver golf course wedding:
- Plenty of free parking: One of the perks of having your wedding in the suburbs of Vancouver is not having your guests pay for parking. The large lot also means your guests won't have to spend much time trying to find a spot.
- While perfectly suited for large weddings, Riverway clubhouse also gives the option of splitting the banquet room for a max capacity of 150 or 60 people.
- For those wanting a detail heavy wedding, your planner will love the easy of access to the venue. Not only do you receive early entry but the loading zone is conveniently located directly adjacent the reception space
- As already mentioned, couples that book their wedding at Riverway clubhouse also receive access to the large patio overlooking the scenic lake. It truly is a beautiful spot for both a ceremony and/or cocktail hour.

Just as a test of how to post stuff, here are some reviews of some punk CDs I wrote a while back. They're raw and sloppy as hell, but, in the spirit of the music I'm not gonna clean 'em up. Might add gratuitous video links to make it up to ya, though, 'cuz I'm a stupid behind-the-times git who just discovered YouTube. Yay, candy!
Gobsmakt - You Wot! - Step-1, 1998
It took me a while to listen to most of this kiwi-punk CD, because for about the first half hour as soon as the first song, "Here We Go Now," would finish, I'd have to play it over again. And again. And again. What an obnoxiously great song. It's like an old extra-methed Motorhead in a gleefully bad mood. It's stupid as hell but ultra-catchy, rambunctious, and may make you want to go kick in your neighbor's door and trash some of their belongings. If you're an idiot. Anyway, it's kind of a cross between old Motorhead, The Exploited, and any really good (non-Nazi o' course) skinhead band. These hoolies have their three chords down and ain't afraid to use 'em, and the sound is tightly sloppy (yes, that does make sense - just get it already) and belligerent, with every song barked in your face, daring you not to love it. The lyrics are about drinking lager, being a skinhead, threats ("You're gonna get yer fuckin' 'ead kicked in!"), and a certain non-fondness for the police and politicians. I don't think this band invented the style they're using, but they may have just perfected it. It stays at a dirty, speedy roar throughout, even during the two ska songs, and it's full of little gotta-hear-that-again-bits (like the opening drum-pounding then guitar pucka-pucka-pucka of "Crime 'N' Other Things). If you'd like to hear The Exploited get in an alley fight with The Oppressed, you'll worship this. A lyric sheet would've been nice since the New Zealand accents get kind of thick. I'd fit this band in the Hard Skin category, where you might think they're joking but you're not sure they know that they are.
The Bloody Sods - Up And Runnin' -Step 1, 1997
This band is so fast and violent that when my fucked-up CD deck started skipping, I almost didn't notice. They're from Georgia but have something of a UK82 thing going, with relentless drums and deep-tuned guitars and rapid screaming about socially-relevant topics, like consumerism, manipulative media, genocidal government practices, racism (both on the part of whites and of blacks like Farrakhan), as well as personal stuff like drinking too much and having untrustworthy friends. All punk as fuck and delivered straightforwardly with great force. It's noisy and chaotic without losing a groove, and even though I already liked it at first listen I can tell it's only gonna grow on me even more. I'm proud to hear stuff like this coming out of the South. The shouted vocals (split between two guys) get a little one-dimensional (even though there's two of 'em) but it's not a major problem, and the lyric sheet definitely helps, even though you can make out a good bit of it anyway if you listen close. There's a reverent (though 'bout twice as fast) cover of Blitz's "4Q." Good vicious stuff.
Boot Party - Head Stomp - Step 1, 1996
Amateurish, limited-talent somewhat silly sloppy NYC punk with goofy lyrics about not much of anything (whores, watching TV, venereal disease, getting signed to indy labels, police, etc.) It's not boring or anything, I don't hate it, but it sounds like somebody recorded it in their garage as a demo or something. The vocals are bad, and the guitar and drums are loose. The bassist seems to have all the skills here, and those aren't going to blow you away, either. If they'd just come up with some better hooks and some lyrics that weren't so dumb, the sloppiness could possibly work for it, since lack of talent can be the charm in some bands. Okay if you like that kinda stuff, just don't get your hopes up expecting some kind of great oi band or anything (like the band of the same name from Fresno's supposed to be). Not to be taken too seriously (how could you with a cover of the Archies "Sugar Sugar"?) There's also an unrecognizable cover of "A.C.A.B." by the 4 Skins. As is, this is a severe test of Bisquit's Theory* I found a sample.
Husker Du - Land Speed Record (SST, 1981)
Wow. Even after exposure to insane black metal bands like Immortal, the speed at which Husker Du blaze along on their first album is still impressive. It's a live album and the sound quality isn't great, so even if they took the time for nuance in this sonic assault you wouldn't be able to pick up on it. It's a whirlwind jangle of guitars and yelled vocals, with an occasional comprehensible line like "It's all lies anyway!" or "All tensed up!" coming through. I can't imagine being in a room with these guys playing this stuff; it must have been overwhelming, more like a crowd control weapon than music. And they don't even have any dead space between songs, just ripping into the next one before the feedback from the previous is done. If you've heard Husker's later albums you might be expecting great songwriting skill, but what you have here is noisy hardcore that's closer to Negative Approach than it is to Zen Arcade. It's a blur, really, like proto-powerviolence. So this isn't the best representative of the band to start with (forget chronology) but it's still historically important and has some great stuff if you're into hardcore. A lyric sheet would've been really, really nice, though, because they're pretty cool when you look them up on the web. Here's a vid.
The Undead - The Riot City Years (Step-1, 1982)
Not to be confused with ex-Misfit Bobby Steele's band, this is a British group. Even though this is a UK82 band they'd don't sound much like the Exploited, Varkukers, or UK Subs. It's more of a mid-paced, sometimes-plodding, severe-sounding punk, distinguished mostly by a really weird drum sound that shows up in a lot of the songs - it sounds exactly like a basketball being dribbled! This guy's drumheads must've been made by Wilson, 'cuz it's pure inflated-rubber boing-boink-boink. The sounds tend to like finding a groove and then dragging the river with it, kind of a marching/trance thing (which they may have been into, since there's an electronica dub version of one of their songs on the CD; they probably would have been a house band if they'd started up 10 years later). There's nothing really outstanding here, but it's not terrible. The bonus tracks (old singles the band released) are the best part, a bit more lively than the sluggish album tracks. I couldn't find video of any of their stuff, so here's Squirrelbait doing "Sun God," which is a lot better than anything on this album anyway.
Last Year's Youth - Yah Boo Fuck You Step-1, 1997
Sincere mid-paced UK punk stuck somewhere between the '77 and '82 schools, and also flirting with pop-punk, yet not sounding like a sell-out. It's lo-fi and scruffy, with snotty vocals dealing with being punk and getting drunk, mostly, with momentary nods to politics (the Berlin wall, political phoniness, etc.). Mostly, though, it's just anthems about the joys of punk-rock defiance. It's also pretty happy and bouncy, even when the lyrics get angry. Standard, nothing bad on the whole CD but nothing that'll blow you away, either. But the bassist's name - Owen Money - deserves entry into the list of all-time great punk rock pseudonyms.
Badlands - The Killing Kind GMMM Records, 2004
What a weird CD. It's perhaps most famous for pissing off fans of lame-ass poser Jake E. Lee, because he has a band of the same name and his fans buy this by mistake and then pitch big ol' hairband hissies about it on Amazon. Far more disorienting, however, is the way this Holland band alternates between tough-guy skinhead rock and gentle folk music. They'll be singing about fighting violence with violence and advocating kicking in skulls of gun-toting bad guys and battling against prejudice. Then they'll shift gears hard enough to drop the transmission and do songs about wishing they could go back to being 10 years old, or "we've gotta work together for a better land" songs that would make perfect background music for some old 70's public service announcement about picking up trash or something. The vocalist is great, although his style is an odd contrast with the harder songs; it's like honeyed sandpaper or something, actual soulful singing even when the guitars start blazing away. It's really indescribable; check out some of the sound files on Amazon, because you have to hear it to believe it. When I first got this I didn't care for it much, but it grew on me enough where I eventually bought their other album. Definitely an acquired taste. This isn't from this CD, but at least you can sample the singing style.
Discipline/Argy Bargy - 100% Thug Rock Captain Oi, 2004
Brilliant skinhead split that delivers on the title's promise. I'd already been a fan of Holland's Discipline (because of stuff like this) and was scooping up their back catalogue, which is how I got this. The Discipline tracks, while a little "happier" sounding than some of their other material, don't disappoint; total blue-collar rock and roll that doesn't sound preoccupied with fitting into any punk or oi standard but does so beautifully anyway, with more-than-competent musicianship (this ain't just three-chord stuff, yet doesn't sound like metal at all), and Joost De Graaf's perfect gruff singing (yes, he actually sings - it's not the usual oi shouting). Every song is a sing-along anthem (and few bands can really write those), mostly about fighting at football matches on this one. Infectiously catchy and essential stuff. Argy Bargy was a new one to me, and my expectations weren't high since I'm kinda "eh" on the Cock Sparrer song they're named after (love Cock Sparrer, just not that song)… but when I heard this I started working on their back catalogue, too. Raucous, belligerent, rockin' oi with more great not-afraid-to-get-complicated (without verging on metal, either) musicianship, and rough, heavily-British-accented shouting-yet-tuneful vocals that give it instant credibility and identity. The lyrics are all-the-way-fuck-you, which is great. "You'll never understand the kids on the street/ You'll never have a drink at the places we meet/ You'll never have a talk with me man to man/ You'll never realize I am what I am/ You can't control us, you won't deny us/ What gives you the right?" - how can ya not love that? Here's a live version. Watford Jon can also sing when he wants to - "We Ain't Listening" is almost pretty, for a blunt object. Watch 'em do it live. There's a lot of old-school rock 'n' roll (played a bit faster and more forcefully) in this, and it's a good variety -- they give you six songs and they definitely sound like six songs, not just variations on a theme. The last song, "One More Drink," is an acoustic drinking song/crime story that I bet the Dropkick Murphys would love to cover. Overall, a highly recommended split.
Defiance - Rise Or Fall Punkcore, 2004
This band doesn't disappoint. It doesn't surprise, either, but if you already like them you won't mind. They're like The Casualties, but ten times tighter and much better in the songwriting department. Violent, high-speed streetpunk with all kinds of axes to grind about society, the usual stuff against war and outbursts of frustration about boredom and futurelessness. There ain't a happy song in the bunch yet it'll probably put smiles on your face anyway, even if they're the kind of smiles you get while flinging a Molotov. Mike Arrogant has a good shout and proves he can use it to carry a tune in sonds like "Doing What You're Told." You can check out a pretty stupid video of that here. There's a nice cover of Menace's "All Screwed Up" (which is great, although still no patch on the original - Menace's version is one of my favorite songs, so, good choice anyway). The only thing bad about this CD is that I'm going to have a hard time making mix tapes for the car from it 'cuz I'd want to include all the songs. Great slash 'n' burn raging punk.
The Worthless - Slow City - Taang, 2000
Total Angry Samoans worship. If I didn't know better, I'd almost think the Samoans had reformed. Very catchy, bouncy, old-style punk, like a blend of Samoans and the U.S. Bombs, all scruffy and not-to-be-taken-too-seriously punk about hating cities, being goofily alienated, and stuff about girls and beach parties. It's infectious and there's not a bad song on it.
The Eat - It's Not The Eat, It's the Humidity Alternative Tentacles, 2007
Discography of a unique, poppy Florida punk outfit that operated in the first half of the 80's. It's mostly fast and tongue-and-cheek lo-fi garage rock, and is catchy as hell more often than not. Some of it is hilarious ("She's Pissed Off" is a classic party story: "There was one little girl in a corner all alone, you know she looked so sad/ Had to ask Sherri what the trouble was and I couldn't believe what she said/ 'She's pissed off 'cuz my brother wouldn't fuck her! She's pissed off 'cuz my brother wouldn't fuck her!'") and a few songs are so stupid-yet-catchy that you may actually get mad at the band for making something so embarrassingly goofy stick in your head like that (god damn you, "I'm a young guy" song!). And "Communist Radio" should probably be included in any serious mix tape you ever wanna make for anybody to try to explain what punk sounds like. Proof! And you gotta love any band who comes up with song titles like "Manatee Smacker," "Psychotic McHale's Navy," "M80 Ant Death," "Nixon's Binoculars," or "Ballbusters On Parade." Since this is on Alternative Tentacles, you know there's some considerable intelligence lurking behind the goofiness, too. The first disc is all studio stuff, and there's a second disc full of live material. You can't go wrong with this.
* Bisquit's Theory is an idea put forth by the late great Randy "Bisquit" Turner of The Big Boys, who said that even the worst bands have at least one good song in 'em.

2. Roasted Duck Breast with Plum Sauce
Duck is an unusual choice for a meal, and will definitely impress your date (unless they´re vegetarian). The beauty of this romantic recipe is that it doesn´t take too long to prepare. After all, you don´t want to spend too much time slaving in the kitchen; you want your date to get you hot and bothered, not the dinner!

Back in December, Priyanka Chopra explained in her first post-wedding interview that she and her new husband Nick Jonas were delaying their honeymoon for at least a month because they had work commitments. That was kind of true—the two took a mini moon in Oman before returning to India for Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal's wedding in December. But they didn't wait too long to take their full-fledge honeymoon. For the last couple days, the two have been in the Caribbean, documenting their trip here and there.
Jonas gave the most snaps last night, sharing the couple's special vacation attire on his permanent grid. Jonas in an orange suit? A rare choice that some men would only wear in the tropics.
He also shared a video of Chopra on a swing in a bikini while the two live the good life on the picturesque beach. Chopra gave a glimpse of their paradise before on her Instagram story:

Chopra and Jonas were photographed arriving in the Caribbean on Tuesday. It comes after the two spent the holiday in the Swiss Alps with their families. That vacation was very thoroughly documented on the two's Instagram accounts.
Chopra said immediately after her wedding that she didn't know the Caribbean was there their honeymoon would ultimately be. Nothing was set yet. "I have no idea [where we're going]," Chopra told India's NDTV. "Right now, I have just work commitments this whole month with shooting and doing a lot of work with Bumble and a few other ad commitments that I have. And I don't know. We still haven't figured out where. I think it's going to be a surprise though. I think that's what my husband's planning."

"I was a bit skeptical when Jonathan told me about his services and what he does. I had him come in and do my office, and noticed that we had a drastic decrease in "sick days" from staff, I can only attest that to Armament Shield services. Jonathan comes in sprays everything down and is in and out in no time! I'm glad we gave him a try! I highly recommend him!"
- ACU's Student Recreation and Wellness Center Executive Director
"I have used Armament Shield for a couple of years now in our recreation center. I have been thoroughly impressed by their product, their service and their willingness to go the extra mile for their customers. I especially like how they follow up every month and ensure that areas needing additional attention get it. Jonathan and his team are top-notch!"
- HSU Graduate Assisstant Coach and Small Business Owner
"Jonathan has helped me by keeping my apartment sanitized... It has been a big help to know that my apartment is free of any bacteria and viruses. We are constantly traveling and exercising in a gym 3 days a week... I am too busy to get sick, and Armament Shield leads me towards a healthier lifestyle."
I was skeptical of this germ treatment. I thought I could just buy the products and kill the germs myself. A member of my household came home with the flu in January. Schools were closing; businesses were shutting down. The flu was everywhere. I wanted to do everything I could to keep from getting the flu. Jonathan came and treated my entire house. No one else came down with the flu. After success with my home, Jonathan treated my office. My office had to keep going during tax season. Then, I hired a new person on a Wednesday, and she left with the flu the next day. Jonathan made a special trip to wipe down her desk. No one else in my office caught the flu. Armament Shield was the best investment I have ever made. Thank you, Jonathan, for everything.
- Co-founder and CEO, Oddly Natural
I've had the pleasure of serving with Jonathan in community service on multiple occasions. Jonathan's heart for community and work-ethic for business are of the strongest I have met. As a business owner, I can say with confidence that trusting Jonathan with your business will prove beneficial.
- Cakes by Birdie
I have found Jonathan with Armament Shield has researched and educated himself to be known now to Abilene as the "Germ Killer". He is by far, very sincere and highly professional with a passion to make sure he educates others in protecting themselves and their businesses. I would recommend talking to Jonathan on to learn more about who he is as a young professional in Abilene as well as what Armament Shield can do for you, your business, and your family.

I hate paying for food in a restaurant that I'm fully capable of cooking better myself – there's almost no point going. I would be better off going home and making something for a fraction of the price, and twice the flavour and skill. This is one of the reasons I'm a big fan of The Good Food iPhone app. I have the book (of course) but it means you have to pre-plan where you're going to go. When out, unless you've taken the book with you, its not always possible to find somewhere good to eat food!
Last week, as can be read in Ellies review of The Prince Alfred, we stumbled on a pub which has been in the Michelin Guide for the last few years, and it was great. However, this place isn't in the Good Food Guide (which is quite surprising in itself). In fact the closest place that was in the good food guide was about 1 mile away. This was when it first occurred to me to check to see if there was a Michelin Guide iPhone app.
To my surprise, there was an app, £3.99, but without a single review. It covers just the London area, but covers restaurants, hotels and tourist attractions – as recommended by The Michelin Guide. There wasn't a single review of it in the app store, so I'm assuming that the number of downloads it gets are relatively small.
- Search Restaurants, Hotels & Tourist Attractions by location or name
- Full offline access
- Augmented reality mode (see overlay of Michelin rated places around you)
- Customer reviews of restaurants/hotels/attractions
- Search by distance from your location
- Works completely offline (even uses its own built in maps)
- A decent amount of information on each hotel/attraction/restaurant
- Has crashed a few times already
- Doesn't have retina graphics
- Last years data (eg. Pollen Street Social isn't listed, when it received its star last year)
- Over 500mb in size – massive for an app, and can't be downloaded over 3G (iOS doesn't let you)
- Only covers London (other cities are paid extras)
- Installs itself as an app called 'Voyage'
Overall, the app does everything you would want it to! Search for the best restaurants, closest to your location. Its quick, and although its crashed a few times for me, the fact that its all offline is a very nice touch.
It's a premium app, and in terms of iOS marketplace, its priced that way. If you eat out a lot at high quality places, but find yourself looking around too much, then this is the app for you! However, I would say, that on a personal preference, the Good Food Guide app is better. Not because the app is so much better, but because I like the fact that the restaurants I can find in the Good Food Guide app aren't going to be so highly – accordingly so – priced. When you combine both the apps, I'm pretty sure it means I'm going to find lots more treasures in London to eat in!
Jelly Good Food Rating: 8/10
I'd recommend it to any London foodie!

Last night, Heathers The Musical officially opened and it absolutely KILLED IT! The crowds went wild for Kevin Murphy and Laurence O'Keefe's dark comic musical. And, really, are we surprised? With Carrie Hope Fletcher in lead as Veronica and Jamie Muscato playing her bad-boy boyfriend JD, you'd think that'd be enough star power to fuel this explosive show. But, the cast is made up of exemplary performers who all have their moment to shine. Don't believe us? Just watch the crowd's reaction during the standing ovation.
Based on the cult classic film, Heathers – starring Wynona Ryder and Christian Slater – it's got us thinking about all those other film-to-stage productions you can see in the West End. So, if you loved Heathers (or couldn't get a ticket) here are some other shows you'll probably love because you loved the film.
School Of Rock
Based on the 2003 comedy starring Jack Black, School Of Rock tells of a wayward musician who finds himself without a job, without a band and without a plan. Intercepting a call for his flatmate, he winds up taking a substitute teacher position at a prestigious private school where he teaches the value of rock… but not Maths, Enligh and Science.
You can take your child to School Of Rock for free during August with Kids Week.
Kinky Boots
The Olivier and Tony Award-winner came to be after the 2005 film that tells the true story of a man who inherits a failing shoe factory which leads to him forming an unlikely business partnership with a drag artist. Packed with sequins, glamour and a whole lot of love, it's a feel-good show that will have you searching for your very own Kinky Boots.
You can take your child to Kinky Boots for free during August with Kids Week.
Disney's Aladdin
The Prince Of Thieves stole everyone's heart back in 1992 when Disney released the animated film which quickly rocketed to many people's fave list. Since, the musical has been taking people on a magic carpet ride of West End brilliance. Stop wishing. See your childhood hero come to life.
Matilda The Musical
Which came first, the book or the film? Well, clearly it's the book. But each incantation of Roald Dahl's much-loved tale is unique and offers its own charm. The RSC's multi-award-winning show has been enchanting West End audiences since 2011. So go on. Be a little bit naughty. You deserve it.
Young Frankenstein
The Oscar-nominated Mel Brooke's film made a generation howl with laughter and put Putting On The Ritz on the map in 1074. And last year's stage adaptation has done exactly the same for West End goers. Filled with cheeky jokes, tongue-in-cheek songs and a whole lot of silliness, Young Frankenstein will give you LIFE!
You can take your child to Young Frankenstein for free during August with Kids Week.
Strictly Ballroom
So. Much. FUN! The era-defying Baz Luhrmann film rekindled the world's love of ballroom dancing. And this year's musical has rekindled the West End's love for joyful shows. Full of colour, fake tan and pop songs sung live by Will Young, this live-action version of the cult 90s film will have you feeling the love in the air.
You can take your child to Strictly Ballroom for free during August with Kids Week.
Disney's The Lion King
The pride of the West End, The Lion King has been wowing audiences for 19 years. The pioneering show brings animals to life with innovative and industry-changing puppets. Set to those spine-tingling Elton John songs from the film, it's a walk down memory lane which you'll want to do again and again.
There are loads of brilliant shows to see in London. To see what's on, click here.

ALCOA outlines the FDA's expectations for data integrity. It defines the types of records the government wants: Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, and Accurate. What these guidelines don't prescribe is a standard for clinical sites to collect this data.
The FDA makes no differentiation between paper and eSource systems, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't know the difference. According to CenterWatch News Online, 93% of sites have used electronic data capture at least once—and for good reason. eSource outperforms paper for ALCOA data integrity. Here's how:
Research sites must attribute all data to the individual who collected it. Signatures and dates on paper have always been the gold standard for this. However, verifying written signatures can be difficult, and signature forging is always a concern. File cabinets and clipboards are hardly impenetrable.
Implementing eSource can improve this process and its security. The best eSource solutions will offer password protection for different users, as well as notifications and signature reminders. Sure, your attribution paper trail will no longer be on actual paper, but it will be safer.
Handwriting is unique, which can lead to some uncomfortable situations when you receive your colleagues' illegible notes. When you implement an eSource tool, it will eliminate these legibility issues due to its entirely digital nature.
Utilizing eSource provides documentation that is clean, consistent, and standardized—and that's better for everyone.
Data is contemporaneous when it's recorded as the action that created it takes place. If you focus on the patient—and not the process—you may miss out on how important it is that data is recorded right away. That's understandable, but not ideal for ALCOA data integrity.
You can avoid this problem with eSource! A good electronic program will capture important aspects of clinical research like user information, time, and date at every point of your interaction with a patient, ensuring you record key data as it happens.
Original refers to where a data point is first recorded. Choosing a paper source for original data could create trouble in the future, since a paper-based system may be susceptible to physical damage from floods, fire damage, or other unpredictable issues.
eSource data, on the other hand, is not easily destroyed. The key is to select a cloud-based eSource vendor that offers backups and redundancies. That way, even if one server is threatened, another server will have a copy of your original data.
Even with the proper instructions and training, your staff may still fill out paper forms incorrectly. An eSource tool can help ensure data integrity by providing helpful hints at key moments during entry. For instance, let's say you enter a subject's weight in pounds instead of kilograms. A good eSource solution will catch this error and warn you that the value is out of the expected range.
Maintaining ALOCA throughout your clinical trial process is important, and utilizing an eSource solution is one of the best ways for your staff to keep the FDA expectations at the forefront of their minds.
Learn more about the benefits of eSource options with this webinar from our CTMS Resources series.

Scombroid fish poisoning is a toxic reaction caused by the decaying flesh of fish of the scombroid family. Fish of this family include bonito, tuna, sardines, anchovies, mahi,mahi, mackerel, king butterfly fish and kahawai.
All of these fish have dark flesh. Other types of fish may also be responsible for this reaction as well as the above mentioned. Scombroid fish contain a chemical substance called histadine within the meat. If the flesh of the fish reaches temperatures of above fifteen degrees celsius after being caught bacteria that are present in the skin of the fish convert the histadine in to scrombrotoxin. Market stalls are particularly susceptible to this through improper or no cooling facilities The primary component of scombrotoxin is another substance called histamine which causes the toxic reaction known as scombroid fish poisoning.
All forms of cooking have little or no effect in reducing the levels of histamine within an affected piece of fish even if all the bacteria that caused the histamine to be produced have been destroyed. Scombroid fish poisoning varies to other forms of fish poisoning in that the areas of flesh that were most decomposed will contain the highest levels of histamine and therefore only the people who eat from that particular area of flesh will feel ill. Others eating flesh from different areas of the same fish will feel no ill effect whatsoever.
Scombroid fish poisoning is not infectious and it is not an allergic reaction either. The person who was affected by this form of poisoning will have no ill effect from eating this type of fish or fish of the same family on future occasions provided it is caught fresh and stored in proper refrigerated conditions.
Symptoms will start to be felt in thirty minutes to one hour after eating the poisoned fish. Primary symptoms include warm flushes followed by the development of a profuse bright red rash starting on the neck or lower jaw and spreading to the lower abdominal area including the back. The rash is hot and itchy but unlike rashes in allergic reactions there is no swelling of the skin. Other symptoms may include any number or all of the following: a burning feeling in the mouth, a pounding headache, nausea, raised heart beat, dizziness, collapse caused by the lowering of the blood pressure, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Symptoms may persist for a number of hours after which they will normally subside. In some cases, particularly in children and the elderly symptoms may take longer to disappear.
Prevention of this disorder lies solely in the correct handling of fish. All fish should either be cooked promptly after being caught or refrigerated at a constant temperature at four degrees Celsius until used. Removal of the skin also helps to prevent formation of the toxin by reducing the number of bacteria around the flesh of the fish.
Treatment of this condition is usually quite simple. Oral anti histamine is usually enough to eleviate the symptoms. Expert medical advise should be saught and the patient should receive a full medical exam in an emergency unit to eliminate any complications.

On Why I Must Decline To Receive The Prayers You Say You Are Constantly Sending
Tony Hoagland
Jesus apparently lives in my heart and has never left even though I left him. He's also quite feminine, the woman tells me, "Read the gospel of John and you'll see how feminine he is." I am now the prodigal daughter coming home. I had to leave in order to grow myself and wonder out loud with enough spaciousness to find something. Now I am returning and this is good because I am looking for the truth and that's where I'll find God too. She wanted to leave the room while I confessed how I've rejected him, or how I've felt disconnected, or why. Then I told her I wouldn't do it if she left and so I made her stay. Maybe she had something to do for ten minutes that really couldn't have waited and she was hoping I was into counselling myself. But maybe she thought I was strong and wanted or needed the stillness.
