Good Morning I was wondering if it is possible to offset an image in Survey123. I have a couple yes/no questions that have an image for their reference. I have attached a screen shot of what I am seeing, I would like the image aligned on the right or left I am open to either I would just like better placement. Please let me know if you have any ideas.

If anyone is familiar with the 6p and Verizon can I just take the sim card from my Samsung phone and cut it down to make it fit the 6p? Will I need to even call Verizon or can I just do the switch myself? Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

First Patients Enrolled into the MOCA I Trialadmin
First Patients Enrolled into the MOCA I Trial
Baar, Switzerland, June 25th 2019
CorFlow Therapeutics AG ("CorFlow") today announced that the first two patients have been enrolled into the First-in-Man (FIM) MOCA I clinical trial.
The first MOCA (Microvascular Obstruction with the CoFITM System Assessment) trial is a safety and feasibility trial assessing the CorFlow Controlled Flow Infusion (CoFITM) System. In the first roll-in phase, non-acute (NSTEMI) patients will undergo microvascular obstruction (MVO) diagnosis using CorFlow's proprietary dynamic Microvascular Resistance (dMVR) sequence. In phase II, dMVR will be measured in acute (STEMI) patients and the peri-procedural measurements will be correlated with post-procedure magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which will be assessed by an independent MRI corelab. Finally, in Phase III, STEMI patients will be diagnosed using dMVR measurements and treated using intra-coronary CoFITM delivery of tirofiban followed by a final diagnostic sequence. Tirofiban is a small molecule antiplatelet drug belonging to a class of antiplatelet drugs named glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors. dMVR measurements will again be correlated with post-procedure MRI and evaluated by the independent corelab.
MVO is an independent marker for heart failure and death following acute heart attack (STEMI). An effective MVO diagnostic method and treatment has the potential to markedly reduce late complications following heart attack.
Two patients diagnosed with NSTEMI, underwent standard coronary stenting at the University Hospital of Bern (Inselspital), Switzerland. After successful stent placements, the CorFlow Rapid Exchange CoFITM Catheter was delivered to the stent to measure distal myocardial microvascular resistance. All measurements were successfully completed, without any clinical impact, in less than 2 minutes of coronary artery occlusion during the diagnostic CoFITM sequence. The patients were discharged from Inselspital with no complications.
Prof. Marco Valgimigli, the Principal Investigator of the MOCA I trial, commented: "The CoFI diagnostic sequence is simple and feasible in non-acute heart attack patients. I'm pleased that the system fits our cath lab work flow which will be important when we enter the second phase of the MOCA trial enrolling acute heart attack patients."
The diagnostic CoFITM sequence precisely infuses a crystalloid solution into the coronary microcirculation at a series of flow values. These flows are similar to or lower than resting coronary flow, thus avoiding any non-physiological hemodynamics in the coronary circulation. During the flow infusion, the resulting pressure measurements, using the Opsens OptoWire, enables dMVR assessment quickly and simply. In preclinical studies, the dMVR correlates well with Microvascular Obstruction (MVO) as measured by MRI post procedure.
CorFlow therefore believes that dMVR measurements will be an important diagnostic tool for MVO assessment in real-time during interventional catheter laboratory (cath lab) procedures. This will enable MVO therapy by agent infusion into the microcirculation.
Jon H. Hoem, CorFlow's CEO and co-Founder, said: "We are very proud to reach this important milestone three years after we founded the company. This progress was made possible by an enormous effort by the CorFlow team, the close cooperation with our investigators, the trusted support from our investors and with the consent of the patients included into the MOCA trial. We look forward to enrolling the remaining patients in the trial."
The MOCA I study will assess important data on the feasibility of detecting, quantifying and treating MVO in acute heart attack patients. Data from this trial will be used for further product development, the CorFlow world-wide regulatory activities and will build the base for further clinical trials.
The MOCA I study is funded by CorFlow and through a public grant which the company has been awarded from Innosuisse, the Swiss Innovation Agency.
The MOCA I Study Summary
The CorFlow First-in-Man MOCA I study is designed to study the safety and feasibility of the Controlled Flow Infusion (CoFI™) Technology. In total the study will investigate up to 58 NSTEMI and STEMI patients using the diagnostic and therapeutic components of the CoFI™ System.
The primary safety objective of the study is to investigate the incidence of device or procedure adverse effects or events inside 30 days post procedure. Furthermore, the study will assess the CoFI™ device safety and feasibility of the diagnostic and the therapeutic sequence as well as the correlation between the dynamic Microvascular Resistance (dMVR) and microvascular obstruction as quantified by MRI in patients presenting with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).
The major inclusion criteria for the study are:
- Patients 18 years of age or older presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
- Competent mental condition to provide signed and dated ethics committee approved study consent prior to study related procedures.
- Eligible for prasugrel, ticagrelor, cangrelor, tirofiban, UFH and GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors.
- Referred for primary PCI within 5 hours of symptom onset with evidence of continuing ischemia and symptom to balloon time not exceeding 6 hours.
For further information on the MOCA I clinical trial please refer to the registration of the study in clinicaltrials.gov.

Our Approach
Culture in Mind is a multicultural, community-based mental health support and recovery service supporting the social, emotional, and mental wellbeing of people from a culturally and linguistically diverse background in Greater Brisbane.
We provide innovative Wraparound culture-based care to clients through client-centred practice
Our service model is based on the principles of wellness, recovery, and participation. Our Wellbeing Support Coordinators draw on a client's own experience and knowledge to empower and support them to meet their wellbeing goals.
Cultural Support Workers
Cultural Support Workers (CSWs) are a key element in our model of culture-based Wraparound services. They represent a great diversity of cultures and work closely with our wellbeing support coordinators in both individual and group sessions to ensure our services are culturally tailored to the needs of our clients. Specifically, they provide valuable insight into:
- Cultural explanatory beliefs about mental health
- Cultural practices
- History and context
- Cultural traditions
- Cultural, verbal, and non-verbal communication cues
- Reducing communication barriers
- Family traditions and relationships
- Connection to land and spirituality
Our wellbeing support coordinators integrate cultural advice from CSWs into their professional practice such as:
- Cultural meaning about mental health and mental illness
- Traditional practices for mental health and wellbeing
- Traditional approaches to communication, healing, and conflict resolution
- Culturally appropriate support around complex issues such as cultural grief and loss
- Cultural identity and meaning
- Cultural ways of working through client goals and empowering individuals to use their cultural beliefs and practices in an empowering way
- Identify the difference between cultures in relation to emotional expressions, communication, family values and parenting that may be impacting their understanding of mental health services
- Diverse ways of working with individuals to meet their needs and requests for support
CSWs may not be appropriate in all cases, and sometimes individual clients prefer not have a CSW involved in their care and support. Wellbeing support coordinators provide clients a choice during assessment and CSWs are only used with client consent. Telephone interpreters are used when language support is required.
Our CSWs all have police checks, organisational training, understand the privacy and confidentiality laws, and have expressed an interested working in the mental health sector.

Holding company and central services
ACS swap body+
management of swap bodies becomes transparent and efficient
ACS swap body+
is the complete product suite for the management of swap bodies and trailers. Have the processes of damage settlement and of the repair management been carried out time-consuming and manually up to now, all involved persons can communicate via this cloud application now. If a web browser exists, no additional software is necessary. The saving of time of all involved persons is enormous. The integrated workflow makes sure that each work step is structured and documented.
The times of emails, faxes and time-consuming telephone calls are gone. The integrated billing ensures that rents and other expenses are billed in a fully automatic way and necessary documents are created in the CI of the customer. Standardised data interfaces also make sure that external systems of service providers, repair shops and forwarding agencies can be connected without a big loss of time.
Features and functions
which make your day-to-day work with swap bodies more transparent
The user management makes sure that the users get exactly the rights which they need. Thereby the functions can be assigned in a finely-structured way to the involved persons of forwarding agencies, to the staff of repair shops and to the service provider for the swap bodies. The user management supports the workflow on the cloud platform.
- Rights for the depot
- Rights for administrators, super users, company admins, operative users
- Rights for fields of activity such as accounting, administrating, reporting damages, etc.
- Rights for functional areas such as menu items, master data processing, printing
- etc.
Cooperations and great organisations charge the partners and depots for the use of the swap bodies accurately to the day. For this purpose the swap bodies have to be recorded to the exact minute at the entry or the queueing up on ramps. A workflow module ensures that the bookings are system-specific. Thus no original entry can be recorded in a depot while there is no initial entry in another depot. The rules for this purpose are determined by the customer.
- Swap body original entry
- Swap body initial entry
- Booking via interface
- Reverse posting
- Manual change
- Booking via data upload
- Workflow control
- Incident/booking time
- Definition of type of construction
Swap bodies are exposed to enormous loads. The better a swap body is maintained, the longer this capital investment can be used. Maintenances such as regulations for the prevention of accidents and regular inspections can be hereby planned and controlled. A history process also shows when and for which partner the swap body was lastly maintained.
- Control of the issue date
- History
- Maintenance administration of external and own swap bodies
Repairs are subject to a complex workflow. The forwarding agency reports the damages via ACS swap body+. The repair shop determines what has to be repaired actually and then reports this to the service provider, for example TIP Trailer Services or also Brüggen. This one finally releases the repair. After the work is done, the invoice data of the repair shop together with all detailed information such as working hours, article, small items of equipment, etc. flow back again to the service provider. Because of the fully integrated process control of all involved persons, fax, paper and unstructured emails no longer exist. An automatic archive makes sure that all repairs at the swap body are recorded in a chronological order and that they are tracked. Thus a complete maintenance history is created.
- Repair management
- Automatic image acquisition out of the damage settlement
- Image upload for documentation
- Release processing by the service provider
- Article and labour times of the repair shop
- Automatic workflow process in order to avoid emails, fax, etc.
The damage management helps to document damages in a structured way and to create automatically the subsequent repair order. Thereby images can be uploaded, descriptions of the damage can be recorded and records of the party responsible for the damage can be integrated. If a journal is necessary, so this one is attached to the damage history.
- Damage recording
- Damage finding
- Damage reactivation
- Journal management
- Records of the party responsible for the damage
- Preparation for the repair management
- Upload of images
Invoices to partners are created fully automatically. The customer determines the content of the invoice. Thus daily settlements of swap bodies can be carried out automatically on a certain date. The values to be calculated are stored in the master data and they are dependent on authorisation. The invoice is printed in a layout and format defined by the customer, for example a PDF file with the logo and the CI of the corresponding forwarding cooperation.
- Settlement of swap bodies
- Lump sums of maintenance and repair
- Tracking charge
- Data export for example as *.csv
- Free setting of the settlement period
- Invoice release

A Broome County fugitive, sought by police for more than a year on a weapon charge, was arrested early Thursday in New York City.
Antoine E. Gibson had been Broome's No. 3 "Most Wanted" fugitive, according to the sheriff's office. He's facing a felony count of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, along with a parole violation.
The Broome County Sheriff's Office said Gibson was found in Brooklyn by NYPD officers who were investigating an unrelated incident. Gibson was transported back to Broome County and jailed while awaiting court action.

Confidential tips from the public were credited by Sheriff David Harder's office with assisting in Thursday's arrest.
Gibson had been paroled from prison in March 2015 after being sentenced to four years for criminal sale of a controlled substance, bail jumping and attempted assault felony convictions in Broome County, according to state records.

Texan post-rock stalwarts Explosions in the Sky have pushed the boat out for their 20th anniversary; Getintothis' Matthew Eland dons his party hat and takes a piece of cake…
Explosions in the Sky have pulled out all the stops for their birthday.
They're putting out not one, but two albums. And if that wasn't enough, there'll even be some UK live dates to boot.
First up is 2000 debut How Strange, Innocence, receiving its first international vinyl release here. The band have a bit of a love/hate relationship with it, as described here:
"How Strange, Innocence was our first attempt at an album. We recorded it in January 2000 in Austin: recording took two days, mixing one day, mastering one day. Altogether we pressed 300 CD-R copies of this album…We had been a band about seven months when we recorded these songs.
Liverpool gig guide: Deeper Cuts Festival with Teeth of the Sea, HOUSEWIVES, Gum Takes Tooth and more, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever
A lot of feelings (excitement/confusion/glimpses of visions/waking dreams/inability to play instruments) went into this record, but we didn't quite know what to do with those feelings, none of us had even really been in a studio before, and it shows in the recording, the songs show it, too–it's a young record…
At certain points along the way several of us wanted to buy back all the copies and burn them. Listening now to this album, it almost seems like a different band composed of four different people. We finally feel okay in re-releasing it, probably because we've now made a couple of records that are recorded better and that are closer to our visions for them."
The Rescue is a different beast altogether. Frequently referred to as the group's 'secret' album, it was recorded in 2005 after their year-long tour for The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place and a year off to recharge.
Its composition was based on, for them, an austere set of rules: they would compose and record a song a day for eight days in a row. Once each day was over, it could not be revisited.
What resulted was light and unruly, but the emotional resonance that charactises their music is still very evident. As such, The Rescue is an intriguing dcument of a band at the height of their powers.
Both releases are due August 16, 2019.
Phase One, Stockroom, Jimmy's and Sound – where are we with music venues in Liverpool?
And that's not all. There are even some UK tour dates in 2020, which go on sale Wednesday July 10th at 10am. There's time for a stop in Manchester, for anyone wanting more after their 2016 Philharmonic Hall gig.
Feb 11 De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill, UK
Feb 12 Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow, UK
Feb 13 Vicar Street, Dublin, EIRE
Feb 14 Albert Hall, Manchester, UK
Feb 15 Eventim Apollo, London, UK

Background: The study of the right ventricle (RV) is of particular interest as it is believed to be involved in several heart diseases. Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is characterized by left ventricular systolic dysfunction occurring between the last month of pregnancy and the fifth month postpartum. It is often combined with RV dysfunction, but this has rarely been described in the literature. The main aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of RV dysfunction in a PPCM population.
Methods: We conducted a prospective and investigative study at the Cardiac Clinic of the Aristide Le Dantec Teaching Hospital in Dakar, Senegal, between March and June 2013. All patients hospitalized during the study period and meeting the diagnostic criteria for PPCM were included.
Results: During the study period, 326 patients were hospitalized in the cardiology department; 19 were diagnosed with PPCM corresponding to a hospital prevalence of 5.8%. All patients had left ventricular dysfunction, with an average ejection fraction of 23.01%±9.73% at the Simpson biplane. Based on the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), 11 out of the 19 patients (57.9%) had RV systolic dysfunction. Ten patients (52.6%) had an Sa tricuspid wave (speed of the systolic wave to the tricuspid ring in tissue Doppler) below the standard. The average RV area shortening was 23.73%±14.16%, with extremes of 7.8% and 53.7%. Fifteen patients (78.9%) had a rate of shortening fraction of the surface area of RV below the standard. When the other parameters were taken into account, 15 patients (78.9%) had at least 3 of the following indexes altered: fractional area change (FAC), Sa tricuspid, TAPSE, and the ratio between the sum of both isovolumic times and the ejection time (TEI index).
Conclusion: RV dysfunction is common in PPCM. In view of the prognostic interest on the right ventricle; its evaluation must take into account all of the measurement parameters in order to allow for better detection.
Keywords: peripartum cardiomyopathy, right ventricular dysfunction, heart failure, Dakar, Sénégal

text: Digital With No Women Keynote Speakers, Does CES Have a Diversity Problem? CMOs from HP, Chase and Twitter speak outBy Lauren Johnson|December 5, 2017 CES faces backlash over its lack of diversity.Getty ImagesShare By Lauren Johnson|December 5, 2017 Share Jamie Gutfreund, global CMO at Wunderman, has worked in technology since the early '90s and has been to more than a few Consumer Electronics Shows, the annual tech confab in Las Vegas. After a flurry of tweets over the weekend centered around the conference's lack of female keynote speakers, Gutfreund still plans to attend next month's event, but for a different reason. She wants to talk about diversity both on and off the flashy main stages. Really, she wants to talk about diversity."I'm looking forward to going to the event and seeing how many people still want to have the conversation while they're there," Gutfreund said. "I don't think boycotting for me personally would limit my ability to have the conversation with people on the ground."While sexism and diversity have been pervasive in the tech and advertising industries for decades, this year is different, she argued. Talk about sexual harassment and gender equality has reached a mainstream high, and she believes she'll be able to have conversations that would have seemed impossible 10 years ago."It's not muscle memory to think about how to broaden the conversation—because it hasn't been," she said. "Now is the time when people are more comfortable bringing it up as an issue. Ten years ago, this was the same conversation but very few people, men and women alike, would have had the same outcry or felt as safe going public and bringing it up as a topic." Online traction picked up this weekend when several high-profile CMOs, including former PepsiCo CMO Brad Jakeman, Chase's Kristin Lemkau and Twitter's Leslie Berland, found nonprofit GenderAvenger's Nov. 29 blog post "The keynote speakers at CES 2018 are all men," pointing out that the conference's confirmed speaking events are dominated by men. According to the schedule of events on CES' website, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday's keynotes currently include six male speakers, including Intel's CEO Brian Krzanich, Ford CEO Jim Hackett and Hulu's CEO Randy Freer. All of the speakers are also white, sparing Huawei Consumer Business Group's Richard Yu.In response, Karen Chupka, svp of CES and corporate business strategy at the Consumer Technology Association, authored a blog post explaining that the organization (whose executive team is run by all women) had 275 female speakers in 2017 and plans to have a similar number next month. She also noted that CES has held 21 keynotes with women speakers during the past 11 years."To keynote at CES, the speaker must head a large entity who has name recognition in the industry," she wrote. "As upsetting as it is, there is a limited pool when it comes to women in these positions. We feel your pain. It bothers us, too. The tech industry and every industry must do better." On Sunday, HP CMO Antonio Lucio, who has championed diversity within brand and agency teams, went so far as to urge men to boycott CES. All men should boycott @CES if women are not invited to speak! Insulting in this day and age. We must do better!! @leslieberland @BradJakeman @KLemkau @lindaboff— Antonio J Lucio (@ajlucio5) December 3, 2017 "In this day and age, it's very disappointing to see CES does not have any women or people of color as keynote speakers," he said in an email. "As an industry, we must do better and represent the customers and communities we serve. Given the remarkable buying power women and minorities represent, it's incredible to not reflect them in a material way in the program." Chase's Lemkau said she was already planning to skip CES next month before the news made its way around Twitter. Yesterday, she tweeted a screenshot of a list of names of women as potential speakers. Amazing women innovators in tech and media who would slay any keynote anywhere. Came up with these in less time than it took to drink coffee. In no particular order...Other ideas? pic.twitter.com/jnpFKGWHzW— Kristin Lemkau (@KLemkau) December 3, 2017 "I don't think the group of us that are really focused on this are going to let this one go," said Steven Wolfe Pereira, CMO of Quantcast. "I've been going to CES for a long time, and as one of the few Latinos in any C-suite position, it's very rare to see anyone that's truly diverse—whether it's women, whether's it's African-American, Hispanic—on any of these stages."

Thursday's Religion News Roundup: Obama in Israel * The pope's crush * AA's God
President Obama toured the Shrine of the Book, the Israel Museum's ancient Dead Sea Scroll collection, and examined the Isaiah scroll up close yesterday.
Soon afterward, Palestinian militants fired two rockets into southern Israel from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. And about 150 Palestinian demonstrators gathered in Ramallah to protest against Obama's visit.
The new Pope Francis was once "dazzled" by a young woman he met as a seminarian and even considered abandoning his vocation, our own David Gibson reports. But what's even newsier is that the new pontiff said (in a book soon to be released) that celibacy is "a matter of discipline, not of faith. It can change." Is it me, or does that sound radically candid?
Check it out: Francis also said that atheists and believers can be "precious allies" in their efforts "to defend the dignity of man.
Some 85 percent of all U.S. adults had a favorable view of the new pope, including 94 percent of Catholics, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
Pope Francis' spontaneity is turning into a huge headache for his security detail.
An artist in Milwaukee has created a portrait of former Pope Benedict XVI out of 17,000 condoms.
A majority of all major religious groups in the United States, support a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants currently living in the country, a new poll shows.
The former pastor of a northwest Indiana megachurch on Wednesday was sentenced to 12 years in prison for having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old parishioner.
Reformers within Alcoholics Anonymous want to reclaim its spiritual roots.
Sister Simone Campbell is at it again: Surrounded by baskets of fish and bread, with the Capitol at her back, she and other clergy attacked the Republican budget plan.
Another win for the monks: A federal appeals court says Benedictine monks may keep selling caskets from their monastery near Covington, La. The three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a district judge's ruling in favor of St. Joseph Abbey and against the state board of funeral directors.
A small United Methodist church in North Carolina said it would not host weddings for heterosexual couples until the rest of the Protestant denomination ends its ban on same-sex marriage. It is not the first church in the state to quit performing heterosexual marriages, but it may be the first United Methodist church.
Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Hasan will not be allowed to plead guilty to any charges in the deadly 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage, a judge ruled. That's because Army rules prohibit a judge from accepting a guilty plea to charges that carry the death penalty.
Cyclists are mixing religion and riding and discovering a unique spiritual and physical reciprocity. Imagine that, Lance.
If you feel like something's missing from your upcoming Passover Seder Monday night, you might consider the new Ten Plagues Nail Decals, which feature—you guessed it—mini fingernail-ready depictions of each of the plagues.
Finally, to all 430 of you who completed our one-minute survey a few weeks ago, a big thank you! If you haven't done so yet, here's your chance to tell us how we're doing. Please click here. (And for those of you still wondering, Zan Hale of West Chester, Pa. won our iPad Mini drawing.)

Zoe Leonard at Gisela Capitain
Artist: Zoe Leonard
Venue: Gisela Capitain, Cologne
Exhibition Title: Available Light
Date: September 9 – October 29, 2011
Full gallery of images, press release and link available after the jump.
Images courtesy of Gisela Capitain
Press Release:
The title for the show at Galerie Gisela Capitain is reflected in both a new body of photographs and an installation of a camera obscura.
For the work St. Apern Strasse 26, Zoe Leonard has transformed the large gallery space into a camera obscura. Daylight filters in through a lens which projects an image of the world outside into the space of the gallery.
The camera obscura predates photography, and is a natural phenomenon rather than an invention. From ancient times through the 18th century it was used as a tool to understand perspective and the physical laws of light. It was employed by draftsmen, artists, architects and scientists as a way to accurately render representations of the world. In this way, the camera obscura connects photography not only to the physical sciences, but to drawing, painting and architecture.
The camera obscura merges several different kinds of seeing that are familiar, but produces a unique experience. The image, which spills onto the floor, walls and ceiling, becomes a spatial experience. Like film or video the work is durational; time is required of the viewer to adjust to the light levels and to fully perceive the ephemeral panorama which unravels continually inside the space. The projection has an intense cinematic quality, depending on the light we see more or less of the outside world, colours seem to change, and movement seems slightly delayed. This slowed-down pace of viewing creates a heightened awareness of sound, one hears the mundane activities of street life and the accompanying street noise.
By bringing this ancient phenomenon into a contemporary art context Zoe Leonard is attempting to broaden the current conversation about what photography is and what it can be. Stepping aside from current debates about analogue versus digital (nostalgia versus progress) a larger question is asked about perception and visual experience. What is photographic seeing? How do we relate to the mediated image? How do we perceive the world around us and how does that perception affect our experience (emotional, political, psychological). In some ways, the black box of the camera obscura could be seen as an analogue for the mind, and the unconsciousness.
The photographs in the other two gallery spaces are pictures taken of the sun, pushing the limit of what is possible to record with a camera.
One is not supposed to look at the sun and one of the cardinal rules of traditional photography is not to shoot into the sun. The sun is the source of all illumination, but it is rarely the subject of a photograph. It is possible to photograph the effect of the sun – its light as it falls – but not the sun itself. Turning the camera onto the sun reverses all the rules of photography, but it's also going back to the source, looking directly at its own starting point.
These sun photographs, taken over the last year, are equally balanced between their subject and their process, the glare and flare on the lens, the grain of the film in the enlarged print. Without spotting or retouching, the evidence of darkroom work remains visible.
"I'm interested in the abstract possibilities of photography. By choosing a subject which is impossible to depict, I'm exploring a way of depicting sight, experience, and the actual process of perception." (Zoe Leonard)

When Do You Want To Go?
Antarctica is a land of truly awesome grandeur. The highest, driest, coldest continent on Earth is unimaginably rich in bird and marine life and its surreal landscapes are like nothing else on earth.
Hurtigruten offers once in a lifetime expedition cruises to Antarctica, travelling aboard the custom built MS Fram, these spectacular adventures to the bottom of the world follow in the footsteps of pioneering explorers like Scott, Amundsen and Shackleton through the dramatic swells of the southern oceans to lands that lie at the very edge of your imagination. Hurtigruten's smaller,friendly ship Fram crosses Drakes Passage in only 40 hrs, giving more time to explore the Antarctic Peninsula and the most out of your Antarctic Cruise.
Once in Antarctica landings are exciting and safe. The use of Polar Circle boats makes it possible to make a wide range of landings. Our expedition teams are experienced with in-depth knowledge of the areas we sail in.
Whilst on board the Expedition team conduct informative lectures on topics such as biology, history and geology , to help you get the most out of your Antarctic cruise.
Montevideo has a sly sophistication and surprising cultural diversity for such a small population, boasting a picturesque blend of colonial Spanish, Italian and Art Deco styles. Montevideo may be the only large city in Uruguay, but it's also one of South America's most interesting centers.
Home to almost half of the nation's population, Montevideo is Uruguay's capital and a modern metropolis with a historical centre dating back to colonial times. Visit the Ciudad Vieja (Old Town) with its 18th century buildings, the vibrant Mercado del Puerto, the bustling Avenida 18 de Julio with its numerous theatres, museums and art galleries, and the stretch of white, sandy beaches surrounding the city.
We depart from Montevideo at 16:00. Check-in opens at 14:00. Once onboard there will be a welcome meeting during which the Captain will present his officers and expedition staff. They will outline the program for the coming day. There will be conducted a mandatory safety drill for all passengers within 24 hrs of arrival.
We are heading south towards our first destination. On the way you will have fascinating and informative briefings into the history and biology to be found there.
We set course south to the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic, located 772 kilometres north of Cape Horn and about 1,600 kilometres from Antarctica. The Falklands consist of two large islands and around 700 smaller ones and has a population of 2,967 inhabitants. Captain John Strong of HMS Welfare made the first recorded landing here in 1690.
Whilst we are at sea a number of presentations will be given about the history and wildlife of the areas we shall be visiting.
Thanks to the unique sub-Antarctic ecology there are over 70 animal species to be found on these islands.
The islands have a unique ecosystem of about 70 different sub-Antarctic animal and bird species. The black-browed albatross, Brown-rumped karakara, Elephant seal, sea lion and five different species of penguin including King penguin are just a few of them. There are also about 347 wild plant species in the area. The landscape is majestic, with cliffs and needle-like stones covered in green grass.
We plan to visit the area around North West Falkland with their fascinating landscape and wildlife, and hope to arrive late afternoon.
We will explore further the North-West part of Falkland. We then continue to Stanley, the islands' capital, which makes a wonderful starting point for various excursions in the area. You can choose to take an optional excursion or explore the town on your own.
In the early evening of day 8 we set a course for South Georgia.
The cruise southward to beautiful South Georgia takes two days. En route there will be a number of presentations about the area's wildlife as well as some fascinating stories about Shackleton's expeditions. The lecturers will tell us about the significance that the whaling station here had for the entire whaling industry.
During our two-day stay in South Georgia you can expect to see some of the area's numerous historic sites. South Georgia offers some good hiking opportunities, our favourite of which is walking the last part of the route that Sir Ernest Shackleton took on his brave journey across the island's rugged mountains to find help for his 22 men left on the isolated Elephant Island.
In Grytviken we will visit the old whaling station museum, Shackleton's final resting place, the whalers' church dating from 1913, the old Norwegian whaling station at Strømness and the King penguin colony at Fortuna Bay. From here we sail south for the main event!
As we continue to Antarctica we learn more about the wonders of the Deep South, focusing on the history, environment and wildlife of Antarctica. Our series includes a thorough introduction to the Antarctic visitor guidelines from the Antarctic Treaty and International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO).
Antarctica is isolated from the rest of the world by thousands of miles of ocean. And even today, with all our technology, many parts of this continent remain unexplored. You find 99% of the world's ice here, some of which is 4000 meters thick.
The most sophisticated technology cannot override some of the climatic challenges that are thrown at you. Even MS Fram, one of the most comfortable expedition ships, needs to remain pragmatic and err on the side of caution. Sometimes we have to change landing sites, re-route and shift plans as we go along because of the ice, wind and weather. This also means that we will take advantage of the often great conditions – spending hours ashore, taking kayaks out on the water, hiking alpine mountains, traversing glaciers or watching in awe as a groups of whales breach the surface.
Merchant William Smith discovered the ring shaped Deception Island on the South Shetland Islands in 1819 after his ship got lost in a storm. The island used to harbour whaling ships until as recently as 1905. The Norwegian base", Hektor" was established here in 1912 to process meat and bone waste from whaling. Cuverville Island is home to one of the largest known colonies of Chinstrap penguins. The shallow water between the islands often causes icebergs to become stuck here - a real sight when it occurs! Neko Harbour is beautifully located in the innermost part of Andvord Bay named after a whaler who anchored here in the early 1900s.
Paradise Harbour got its descriptive name from the whalers during the last century. When the storms were at their worst, this is where they came to seek shelter. On its shores we will also visit Almirante Brown and Gonzáles Videla, Antarctic bases owned by Argentina and Chile respectively. Port Lockroy is a British station from the 2nd World War that got turned into the museum in 1996. Wilhelmina Bay has spectacular scenery and is often called "Whale-mina Bay", because of the large numbers of humpback whales spotted in its vicinity.
Visitors fondly refer to The Antarctic Sound as Iceberg Alley due to the astounding assortment of floating ice that is visible. The sound did not get its name from its location but from the ship used by Otto Nordenskjöld´s Swedish Antarctic expedition in 1903, led by the legendary Norwegian Carl Anton Larsen. Brown Bluff lies on the coast of the Antarctic Sound, at the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. As the name suggests, the area is recognisable by the 750m cliffs that dominate the landscape. After exploring this superlative-exhausting continent, we leave and set course for Ushuaia.
The Drake Passage was notorious among the early polar explorers and is a unique voyage which only a few have had the chance to experience. In good weather, it takes us about 35 hours to make the crossing.
After spectacular journey, we make landfall at the world's southernmost town. Disembark after breakfast and join an optional excursion to Lake Escondido. You can also extend your stay in Buenos Aires with one of our optional post-voyage extensions. Choose from a night or two in the "Tigre Delta" or fly to Iguazu to see possibly the most impressive falls in the world.

text: Newsletter SUBSCRIBE ARCHIVE PRINT SUBMIT NEWS November 5, 2017 Advertisement According to Demographic Characteristics and Prescribing Patterns of Scleral Lens Fitters: The SCOPE Study, irregular corneas (especially due to keratoconus) appear to be the single most common reason for fitting scleral lenses in patients (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28617729). We noted that corneal cross-linking is being used with increased frequency, particularly with new approvals and approaches coming forth to reduce the progression and severity of keratoconus (https://www.clspectrum.com/issues/2017/september-2017/today-8217;s-cross-linking-is-not-your-father-82). What will be interesting to monitor is the potential impact that cross-linking will have on the continued uptake of scleral lenses for use in irregular corneas, if any. As always, we would welcome your thoughts on this issue by emailing them to email@example.com. Jason J. Nichols, OD, MPH, PhD Administrative Law Judge Upholds FTC's Complaint Against 1-800 Contacts In an Initial Decision announced recently, Chief Administrative Law Judge D. Michael Chappell upheld a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) complaint against 1-800 Contacts. According to the FTC's administrative complaint, 1-800 Contacts entered into bidding agreements with at least 14 competing online contact lens retailers that eliminated competition in auctions to place advertisements on the search results page generated by online search engines such as Google and Bing. The complaint alleges that these bidding agreements constituted an unfair method of competition, in violation of federal law, by unreasonably suppressing price competition in certain online search advertising auctions and restricting truthful and non-misleading advertising to consumers. As a result, some consumers paid higher retail prices for contact lenses, the complaint stated. An order Judge Chappell included with the Oct. 20, 2017 Initial Decision would bar 1-800 Contacts from agreeing with a marketer or seller of any contact lens product to restrict, prohibit, regulate, or otherwise limit that seller's participation in search advertising auctions. It would also bar 1-800 Contacts from instructing search engines to restrict or prohibit any seller's use of any keyword (a word or phrase used to instruct a search engine to display specified search advertising) or to require any seller to use any negative keyword (a word or phrase used to instruct a search engine not to display specified search advertising). Also under the order, 1-800 Contacts would be barred from agreeing with a seller to restrict, prohibit, regulate, or otherwise limit that seller's use of truthful, non-deceptive, and non-trademark-infringing advertising or promotion. The order would further require the company to stop enforcing or attempting to enforce any and all provisions, terms, or requirements in any existing agreement or court order that impose a condition on a seller that would be inconsistent with the order. The Initial Decision will become the decision of the Commission 30 days after it is served upon the parties, unless a party files a timely notice of appeal—and thereafter files a timely appeal brief—or the Commission places the case on its own docket for review or stays the effective date of the decision. Bausch + Lomb and Nicox Announce FDA Approval of Vyzulta Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Bausch + Lomb, and Nicox S.A., an international ophthalmic company, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the New Drug Application (NDA) for Vyzulta (latanoprostene bunod ophthalmic solution, 0.024%). Vyzulta, the first prostaglandin analog with one of its metabolites being nitric oxide (NO), is indicated for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients who have open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Following topical administration, Vyzulta, a once-daily monotherapy with a dual mechanism of action, works by metabolizing into two moieties, latanoprost acid, which primarily works within the uveoscleral pathway to increase aqueous humor outflow, and butanediol mononitrate, which releases NO to increase outflow through the trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal. The most common ocular adverse events include conjunctival hyperemia, eye irritation, eye pain and instillation site pain. Increased pigmentation of the iris and periorbital tissue and growth of eyelashes can occur. Vyzulta was licensed on a global basis to Bausch + Lomb from Nicox. As a result of this approval, Nicox will receive $17.5 million from Bausch + Lomb and will make a $15 million payment to Pfizer under a previous license agreement. Novaliq's NovaTears Launches in New Zealand, Receives Registrational Approval in Australia Novaliq GmbH launched NovaTears, a water-free topical eye drop treatment specifically developed to treat patients who have dry eye disease, in New Zealand and received registrational approval in Australia. In March 2017, Novaliq and AFT Pharmaceuticals (AFT) signed an exclusive licensing partnership agreement for the commercialization of NovaTears across Australasia. AFT, a New Zealand-based pharmaceutical, will commercialize NovaTears. Revisions to ISO's Optics and Ophthalmic Optics Standards The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) announced revisions to several of its ophthalmic optics standards that relate to contact lenses. * ISO 18369-1:2017 - Ophthalmic optics - Contact lenses - Part 1: Vocabulary, classification system and recommendations for labelling specifications identifies and defines the terms applicable to the physical, chemical, and optical properties of contact lenses, their manufacture, and uses. It provides a vocabulary of terms and, when appropriate, the international symbol and abbreviation associated with a specific term. * ISO 18369-2:2017 - Ophthalmic optics - Contact lenses - Part 2: Tolerances specifies the tolerance limits of the principal optical and physical parameters of rigid corneal, rigid scleral, and soft contact lenses at the time of manufacture. * ISO 18369-3:2017 - Ophthalmic optics - Contact lenses - Part 3: Measurement methods specifies the methods for measuring the physical and optical properties of contact lenses specified in ISO 18369-2 (i.e., radius of curvature, label back-vertex power, diameter, thickness, inspection of edges, inclusions and surface imperfections, and determination of spectral transmittance). This document also specifies the equilibrating solution and standard saline solution for testing of contact lenses. * ISO 18369-4:2017 - Ophthalmic optics - Contact lenses - Part 4: Physicochemical properties of contact lens materials specifies the methods of testing the physicochemical properties of contact lens materials. These are extraction, rigid lens flexure and breakage, oxygen permeability, refractive index, and water content. B+L Announces FDA Filing of Extended Wear Indication for B+L Ultra Lenses Bausch + Lomb (B+L) has filed a Premarket Approval Application (PMA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to clear Bausch + Lomb Ultra contact lenses for extended wear. If cleared, B+L Ultra contact lenses would be indicated for up to seven days of continuous wear. Bausch + Lomb fielded a 12-month, controlled, parallel group, masked, randomized study at 34 sites across the United States. The objective was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the samfilcon A soft (hydrophilic) contact lens, a silicone hydrogel contact lens, when worn for seven-day extended wear by adapted soft contact lens wearers. The clinical study was submitted to the FDA as part of the PMA filing. The lenses feature polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) for enhanced wettability and have a Dk/t of 163 and a modulus of 70. The lens also incorporates aspheric optics and spherical aberration control. Bausch + Lomb Ultra contact lenses are also available for patients who have astigmatism and presbyopia. International Forum for Scleral Lens Research to Be Held in December The International Forum for Scleral Lens Research (IFSLR; https://ce.opt.uh.edu/live/2017/international-forum-for-scleral-lens-research), scheduled for Dec. 4, 2017, has now announced its program. The IFSLR will follow the 34th Annual Cornea, Contact Lens & Contemporary Vision Care Symposium (https://ce.opt.uh.edu/live/2017/cornea-contact-lens-contemporary-vision-care-symposium) on Dec. 2 through Dec. 3, 2017 at The Westin Houston Hotel, Memorial City. The IFSLR is an open meeting in which practitioners and laboratories interested in the latest developments and evidence-based information are invited to attend. The 2017 program will cover topics such as corneo-limbal anatomy, scleral lens design, wavefront-guided scleral lenses, corneal hypoxia, and intraocular pressure and glaucoma with scleral lens wear.

Nicola Sammarco, Bologna, Italy This image shows a custom octa-curve (eight curves) bi-toric reverse geometry contact lens for orthokeratology. The patient's right eye refraction is +1.75 -3.75 x 5°. For the last six years, he used a traditional esa-curve (six curves) toric reverse geometry lens. (Note: both of these are custom lenses that I designed that are manufactured by a laboratory in Italy). With this lens, the right eye visual acuity (VA) was < 20/40 0.5 during the daytime and was +1.50 –1.50 x 0°. Now his VA is 20/20- 1.0- during over-refraction with the lens in-situ. He also has similar vision between the right eye (treated) and the left eye (untreated +0.25 –0.50 x 0°). We thank Nicola Sammarco for this image and welcome photo submissions from our other readers!

Pucker, OD, PhD Disinfecting Trial Contact Lenses Diagnostically fitting a specialty contact lens is often one of the most interesting aspects of being a contact lens practitioner because you get the opportunity to use innovative contact lens designs while treating challenging cases. While, ideally, you would use each trial contact lens only once,1 many practitioners frequently work from fitting sets in which each contact lens is used multiple times and is sometimes stored for long periods of time between uses—a practice that has the potential to result in microbial contamination.2 The literature contains conflicting suggestions on how to best disinfect trial contact lenses. Specifically, Tyhurst and Hettler suggest that both soft and GP diagnostic contact lenses should be simply disinfected with a hydrogen peroxide care system after use.3 However, Lian et al suggest a more systematic approach for disinfecting trial contact lenses. They suggest that GP contact lenses should be immediately decontaminated (not allowed to dry) by first rinsing them with saline for 30 seconds, cleaning them with an approved GP contact lens cleaner, soaking them in 3.0% hydrogen peroxide for at least three hours, rinsing them with saline, drying them, and storing them dry in a clean container.1 The authors also suggest that the GP lenses should be cleaned again before the next use.1 Lian et al further suggest that soft contact lenses should be immediately cleaned with a soft contact lens cleaner, rinsed with saline, stored in a glass vial with sterile saline, and autoclaved.1 In addition, they suggest that trial contact lens cases should also be regularly disinfected with either hydrogen peroxide or by autoclaving;1 this disinfection step is also key for avoiding potentially harmful biofilms.4 Lastly, if a diagnostic contact lens has potentially come in contact with infectious disease, it should be discarded.1 Properly working with trial contact lenses can only be accomplished by first educating all staff and practitioners within an office about the importance of properly disinfecting trial contact lenses.4 To ensure patient safety, you should also develop standard operating procedures for cleaning trial lenses so that those lenses are properly handled each time.4 1.

Optom Vis Sci. 1992 Sep;69:678-684. MATERIALS & DESIGNS David L. Kading, OD When It's That Simple Fitting contact lenses on patients has seemingly become second nature for most of us—especially when dealing with spherical or low-cylinder patients. This holds true even for multifocals for most patients. Indeed, an expert is someone who can make something complex look easy. However, the reality is that there are many factors that we consider when selecting a lens for a new patient or when deciding to switch a patient from one lens to another. But what compels us to stay with the current lens? I actually find this to be one of the most complex decisions, especially when there are so many great lenses coming onto the market. If a patient comes in with no complaints, it is still necessary for us to try to suss out any problems our patients may be having. As the saying goes: You don't know what you don't know. For instance, some patients may think that dryness at the end of the day is normal. Or, some may believe that because they work on a computer, their lenses are just going to fail them. Others may think that their vision is as good as it can get. It is imperative for us to try to find those "problems." When patients are in the best lenses possible, are happy with their vision (and that vision cannot get any better), and their comfort is as good at the end of the day as at the beginning, then we have hit the jackpot. When this happens, it is just that simple…keep your patients in their current lenses. Study of the Effectiveness of Multipurpose Solutions on the Bacterial Disinfection of Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lenses In Vitro The purpose of this study was to assess the antimicrobial effectiveness of multipurpose solutions in regard to the disinfection of silicone hydrogel contact lenses (CLs) using a study of clinical bacterial isolates from ocular material. Three multipurpose solutions (solution A: polyhexamethylene biguanide 0.00025g/100mL; solution B: polyquaternary-1 [sic] 0.001% and myristamidopropyl dimethylamine 0.0006%; and solution C: polyaminopropyl biguanide 0.00013% and polyquaternary [sic] 0.0001%) were used as a three-phase disinfection on silicone hydrogel CLs contaminated with bacteria from clinical isolates that were divided into five groups (group 1: Pseudomonas aeruginosa; group 2: Staphylococcus aureus; group 3: Staphylococcus epidermidis; group 4: Streptococcus spp; and group 5: enterobacteria). The authors observed no differences between the 24- and 48-hour measurements in any of the samples, and the positivity of microorganisms in T0 was 100% for all solutions; it was 0% in T3. Therefore, only steps T1 (rubbing followed by rinsing) and T2 (rubbing followed by rinsing and immersion of CLs into solution) were considered for analysis at the 24-hour measurement time. Throughout the phases, a decrease in the number of bacteria was observed, culminating in the elimination (no recovery) of all microorganisms in the three solutions. At the end of the proposed process, the tested solutions were effective. Correa PC, Lui ACF, Silva CB, Gracitelli CPB, Mimica LM, Sasagawa SM, Netto AL.

text: For the front, it's complicated and uses my cage. I made a clip from styrene that is glued and screwed to the top of the hood where the old plastic mounts were located. It's ugly (do to gluing surface area) but I haven't had an issue with it. For the rear, just as complex I cut and drilled some aluminum standoffs. I made a styrene brace and mounted it to the frame. The clamp pushes into the front cage. Then the standoffs hold the rear down and stop the front from sliding back. Yes. I bought some thin clear lexan and molded it as best I could with heat. I glued the lexan into the what was left after cutting the windows out of the interior.

Celtics rookie Robert Williams had a strong game against the Wizards on Wednesday, registering 6 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks in 14 minutes. He followed that up with 5 rebounds, 5 blocks, and 2 points on his only field-goal attempt of the game in the Celtics' 129-108 victory over the Hawks on Friday night at TD Garden.
But he understands there is still so much room to grow.
On Thursday, he was back on the court at the practice facility — even though there was no practice — working on some things he did not do so well. He then went to the team's film session, and afterward pulled some veterans aside for extra advice.
"That's really good," coach Brad Stevens said before the Celtics faced the Hawks. "He wants to be good. He's worked hard. If he continues that, I don't see how he's not successful."
Williams said he has been seeking guidance quite often this season. On Thursday, he was looking for advice about how to make life easier for the Celtics' scorers with his screens. He wanted to know more about when he should get out of his screens, how to do it quickly, and what angles his teammates prefer to help open space on the floor.
"They're the No. 1 resource," Williams said. "Obviously, they've been through it all. We've got a lot of guys here that have been on playoff teams, championship teams. It's always good and it's always the right thing to do to ask them what they prefer, what they need out there."
Williams has been thrust into a larger role with Al Horford still sidelined by left knee pain and Aron Baynes's playing time limited as he works his way back from a sprained ankle. He played 16 minutes against the Hawks.
The rookie is quickly developing into a fan favorite, and that was accelerated when he blocked Pelicans star Anthony Davis twice on Monday night.
December 15, 2018
"He's got a chance to be a really good player," Stevens said. "He does a lot of good things and has a lot of room to grow. That's the bottom line.
"The athletic ability is incredible. Everybody can see that and that's what gets everyone excited. He really wants to be good."
Williams said he will continue to seek out guidance from Boston's veterans. He said he welcomes all of it, even the criticism. He was asked to identify the best piece of advice he has received so far.
"Sleep," he said. "Get sleep, man. It's a long, long season."
Horford sits out again
Horford on Friday missed his fourth consecutive game. Stevens previously said that the team intended to err on the side of caution with Horford so he can be fully healthy when the Celtics need him most, so his latest absence was not a surprise.
"There's a target time frame, but we're not going to really talk about it, because we don't necessarily want to be quick in this," Stevens said. "We have to be right in this. At the end of the day, it's a few games, then it will be reassessed to make sure he feels 110 percent. This is another tough stretch. We have [games] tonight and tomorrow, and then we have a couple of days where it's every other day for five weeks, with one extra day in there at one time. It will be quite a stretch coming up."
Hayward, Brown back
Gordon Hayward and Jaylen Brown both returned Friday after being sidelined with illnesses. Hayward had missed two games and Brown missed one. Baynes remains on a minutes restriction as he regains full strength in his left ankle. Hayward scored 19 points, while Brown struggled (2 for 12 from the field), finishing with 4 points.
