A Star is Born, Three Times Over
Reviewed Oct. 19, 2017 by Armin
Industry / Entertainment
Established in 1989, Telemadrid is an autonomous public television station of Madrid, Spain, covering the life and news of the city, along with sports, movies, and original programming. Telemadrid is part of Radio Televisión Madrid, which also broadcasts La Otra ("The Other"), launched in 2001 as a sister channel, and Onda Madrid ("Madrid Wave"), a radio channel. Recently, Telemadrid and all accompanying entities introduced a new identity designed by the Barcelona office of Mucho and motion graphics by Cómodo Screen.
In the new visual language, the three brands within the group all have the star in common, but each one has it own personality. The one for TeleMadrid brings the people of Madrid together (the arrows point to the centre). The star of LaOtra reflects its young and dynamic nature. OndaMadrid is expansive and spreads out (like pulsing waves). As each has its own symbol they also work perfectly as the on-screen watermark logos.
Mucho project page
The evolution of the star is subtle — keeping the equity of the original and appeasing any change-averse segment of the audience — but it yields a much more interesting silhouette for the icon in the style of 1950s - 60s corporate identity. The move to three different stars for each of the channels is relatively daring in that the organizations risks losing that instant connection that easily existed before but it's commendable they adopted it and I think it makes the family of channels more engaging by each having a distinct expression but unified by a single color and improved typography. The old wordmarks were like really lame rave flyer typography and didn't quite hint at the gravitas of the channels. The new wordmarks, set in Klim Type Foundry's Tiempos are stately, elegant, and still manage a contemporary feel.
The animations between the three logos are probably never going to be seen by the audience but for a bunch of designers, staring at their screens, they are pretty fun to look at. They also probably helped convince the client that there was synergy between the three different stars.
The way the colours are used has also been changed. They move from the star to the background which brings more variety and colour. The 8 new colours have qualities that enhance their specific uses on-screen which makes them more topical. The red, which is used when only a single colour can be applied, is the red of the Community of Madrid.
Mucho project page
The visual language of the network starts with the star. However, it is the polygons that form the star in negative, as well as the flat colours, that give this language its voice through a system that is both vibrant and simple. Animations twist or turn the shapes, zoom in on parts of them, or change their positions. This creates a language that is virtually limitless but, at the same time, still easy to recognise.
Mucho project page
The few applications shown are decent… a little shy and tame but probably just a case of most of these being proof of concept. The business cards do look quite nice, especially with the full star graphic in the back. The outdoor ads also show the potential of the star graphic to serve as a flexible device to frame content and text while adding strong bands of color that would make the ads hard to ignore.
The La Otra materials work within the same structure but add patterns into the mix for a more extroverted look. It works nicely in motion (as you'll see at the end) but maybe too much of a good thing in print.
There are a couple more radio applications on the Mucho site but not that more interesting than the sad mic above. It's radio, though, so no one sees it. (That was sarcasm.)
The audio-branding, created by Banjo Music, is a succinct soundscape. It simply and fondly evokes the acoustic character of Madrid: the 'chotis' and the street organ. These distinctive sounds and melodies have been reworked to make them more contemporary giving the audio-branding a memorable and familiar feel.
Mucho project page
The on-air graphics are pretty great. I love that it's all flat colors and graphics all animated along the axis-es (axi?) of the star, while Tiempos makes everything look important. The logo sounds are fun and charming, adding an important element of recognition to the channel. Overall, a great update that gives the channels an authoritative but playful personality.

How to Replicate Siri Shortcuts on Mac: 4 Nifty Apps to Check Out
Automation on iOS devices is quickly catching up to macOS automation—and even surpassing it in some ways. Siri Shortcuts allows you to set up and execute complex workflows with just a few taps on your screen.
Have you gotten hooked on automation and want to get better at it on your Mac? Here are some great apps to help you get started.
1. Lacona
On its website, Lacona's developer describes the app as "what Siri for Mac could have been." That's a good start to describe it, but still sells it short.
Lacona takes its cues from Spotlight and adds in plenty of features. Some of these are features you can also find in Alfred, an app that picks up where Spotlight leaves off. Others are more advanced.
To start, Lacona aims to process natural language, so you don't need to memorize commands. Typing a website URL will launch that website, while typing "remind me to call Bob" will create a new reminder.
In the same way, you can play music in iTunes, translate phrases and entire websites, and even perform basic file management from Lacona. Lacona gets even more powerful with the addition of addons, which in turn enable support for services like IFTTT.
These addons are the only reason you'd need to pay for Lacona Pro. The app is free, but unless you pay for Lacona Pro, there's a slight delay in any features that use addons. Lacona is also available via Setapp, the excellent Mac app subscription service.
Download: Lacona (Free, $30 premium version available)
2. TextExpander
You might not notice it, but there's a good chance that you type are some phrases over and over again. Perhaps you even sent entire emails monthly or weekly that are nearly identical every time. TextExpander's developer, Smile Software, recognizes this and aims to save you from excess typing.
At its core, TextExpander lets you type simple abbreviations and expand these into much longer pieces of text. However, this simple functionality is also available built into your Mac without any extra software. Where TextExpander shines is in the various other features it adds to this functionality.
As well as simple expansion, TextExpander allows fill-in fields, letting you craft longer pieces of text quickly. As an example, you might have to send invoices to a few customers every month. With a TextExpander snippet, you can use the same basic email, filling in the customer's name, the date, and the total invoice amount.
TextExpander also features date math, the ability to insert your clipboard contents into snippets, and much more. It even has statistics built-in so you can see just how much time it's saving you.
Download: TextExpander (Free trial, $40/year subscription required)
3. Keyboard Maestro
Put simply, Keyboard Maestro takes a similar approach to TextExpander, but it isn't limited to text. It lets you use similar quick key combinations to automate certain tasks, but Keyboard Maestro can control many more aspects of your Mac than TextExpander.
One of the most simple examples is launching apps. If you have a few apps you open at the start of your day (for example, Mail, Calendar, and Safari), you can create a Keyboard Maestro trigger that will launch all three at once. Log into your computer, type the trigger, and you're off.
Keyboard Maestro only gets more powerful from there. The app can keep a complete history of your clipboard so you never lose a copied snippet, and you can even paste multiple items at once.
You can also use Keyboard Maestro to control window layouts. This lets you modify the earlier example by moving app windows to various parts of the screen after you launch them.
Do you have a troublesome app you often need to force-quit? You can map a Keyboard Maestro trigger to do that for you as well.
While Keyboard Maestro offers much more functionality than an app like TextExpander, it also comes with a far steeper learning curve. The introduction video on the Keyboard Maestro website even suggests that you set aside some time to learn to use it, as you'll get much more out of it that way.
Download: Keyboard Maestro (Free trial, $36)
4. Hazel
While the above apps give you more control while using your Mac, Hazel goes to work regardless of whether you're using it. The main focus of this app is helping you better manage your files.
Once you get it set up, it might almost seem like Hazel is another person taking care of file management tasks that you'd rather not deal with. The app watches folders that you tell it to, using rules to automatically manage them. You can set these rules based on the file or folder's name, date, type, where you downloaded it from, and much more.
Do you forget to empty the Trash? Hazel can keep on top of that for you. Do you want to automatically file your bills? Hazel can handle that as well. It even features integration with Photos and iTunes to help you manage your photo and music libraries.
One other powerful Hazel feature that we must mention is App Sweep. This cleans up the files and folders that apps leave behind when you delete them, helping you keep your Mac cleaner.
Download: Hazel (Free trial, $32)
More Ways to Automate Actions on Mac
You might have noticed that aside from Lacona, these apps aren't exactly cheap. Fortunately, you don't need to spend any money to start automating actions on your Mac.
As we mentioned, text expansion is already built into your Mac. It's not nearly as powerful as TextExpander and doesn't have so many options available. But if you're just looking to save a few keystrokes here and there, it's still useful.
There's another app that longtime Mac fans are well aware of: Automator. As the name hints, Automator helps you automate various tasks on your computer and is incredibly powerful once you take the time to learn it.
The app offers far too much to explain here. Fortunately, we have a guide to getting started with Automator Learn to Use Mac Automator With 6 Handy Example Workflows A little bit of patience and creativity are all you need to start automating your Mac -- you don't need to know a single line of code. Read More , as well as a few time-saving Automator workflows to get you started.

Do you assume that you'll never face criminal charges because you never break any "serious" laws? You don't sell drugs or rob banks or steal cars. You consider yourself an upstanding and law-abiding citizen.
This may be true, but the reality is that people often break the law without even thinking about it. The best example, perhaps, is the speed limit, which it seems like everyone breaks on a fairly consistent basis. But there are many more laws that average people ignore all the time.
For instance, have you ever played poker with your friends and bet money on the hands? You may have broken the law and engaged in illegal gambling.
Have you ever connected to a WiFi connection that was not yours, just because the person forgot to put a password on it? This is so common that people often joke about "stealing" WiFi as if it is the other person's fault for not securing the connection. In actuality, you may be breaking the law with that unauthorized use.
Here's another one: Have you ever shared or "borrowed" medication from a family member or a friend? Maybe you forgot your ADHD medication at college and took a pill from your sibling during a weekend visit home. Maybe one of your friends had leftover painkillers after surgery and gave them to you to help with an injury. Sharing prescription drugs is illegal, even if no money changes hands.
Maybe you haven't done any of these things, but the point is that there are plenty of examples of everyday behaviors that break the law. Never assume you won't end up facing criminal charges over something you never considered a big deal. Make sure you understand your legal options if you do by talking to an experienced defense attorney.

"Staying fit is my main priority now, not missing any more games and increasing my fitness levels," he said.
The Hunter Ports Newcastle Jets have finally broken the away game curse and what better way to return to the field than with a win.
English football star, Francis Jeffers helped lead the Jets to their 1- nil win over Brisbane Roar last Saturday evening at Suncorp Stadium.
"The match against Brisbane was great," Jeffers said.
"All the boys put in a massive effort and it paid off, we matched Brisbane with skill and intensity.
"Our defensive line looked solid and that was reflected with Brisbane not being able to break through.
"However, I think the best thing to take from the game is the fact that we won away from home.
"Finally we will gain some away game confidence and stop people talking and writing about our losses."
Having spent the last few weeks on the bench Jeffers was eager to get back onto the field and play with his teammates.
"I have really missed the game these last few weeks. Having been sidelined due to injury so early in the season was very unlucky," the striker said.
"As we enter the second half of the season I don-t want to miss out on anymore field time.
"It feels great to be out amongst the boys again and I don-t want to give that up."
Jeffers will be hoping for a healthy, fit and injury free business end of the season.
"This season so far has been slightly unlucky," he explained.
"I was unfortunate to get a niggling injury only five or six weeks after arriving in Australia and my fitness wasn-t at it-s best, and as a result I gained an injury.
"Yes, it-s in the back of my mind that my contract is up at the end of this season and I have definitely enjoyed my time with the Newcastle Jets, but I am used to this feeling by now, it-s the nature of the industry."
This weekend the Newcastle jets take on rivals Sydney FC at Sydney Football Stadium and Jeffers is ready to steal the victory.
"Having come off the back of such a great victory and with the boys so full of confidence, it would be a waste of time if we travel to Sydney this weekend and don-t come away with another win," Jeffers added.
"We will definitely be travelling to Sydney ready to upset the FC."
Tune in this Sunday at 5.00pm and watch your Newcastle Jets meet Sydney FC and hopefully gain another away game win.

Walkouts for gun reform sweep the nation
March 16, 2018
Following the tragic events of the Florida school shooting which occurred almost a month ago making it the 17th shooting in the United States in 2018, survivors David Hogg and Emma González emerged as the voices of the #Never Again Movement challenging Congress to impose drastic gun reform across the country.
March 14 ignited a national movement of high school walkouts starting at 10am for 17 minutes to mourn the loss of the 17 lives lost and to call for gun reform. The walkout at North took place in front of the school and was led by Senior Mykaela Salcido.
"I felt empowered delivering my speech, but I feel a lot of anger," Salcido said. "I think feeling angry is what pushes me to advocate for change."
Edmond Public Schools (EPS) sent an email to both students and parents stating that they respect students' rights to speech and assemblage as well as plans for maintaining a safe learning environment.
Although these walkouts have generated widespread support. Those who agree with looser restrictions on guns rely on the second amendment; the right to bear arms. Junior Chad Synan gave insight into a different side of the issue.
"It's not that I inherently disagree with their [students] right to walkout, I just think they are counterproductive and that they are not actually going to produce anything fruitful with the way they are going about it," Synan said.
In addition to the March 14 walkout, there will be a March for our Lives movement taking place on March 24 as well as another national walkout on April 20 marking the anniversary of the Columbine shooting, one of the deadliest mass shootings in the United States. Those who walked out and those who did not alike represent a generation of politically aware students who are determined to take an active role in determining their future.
For questions or concerns email [email protected]

My O Magazine Internship
Jasmine Babers
From LOVE GIRLS to Oprah Magazine
Love GIRLS Magazine D.C. was launched January 2014. One of the first ambitious writers to join the team was Bria Alston. Alston traveled to the Quad-Cities April 2014 to attend the Love Awards. She interviewed keynote speaker Monique Coleman of High School Musical. This was just the beginning of her adventures in media. We were thrilled to discover that just one year later she was interning for O Magazine.
Discovering that one of our own had received the internship of her dreams, we had lots of questions about her real world expereince.
How did you learn about internship?
I was on a website called ed2010.com looking for an academic internship for the fall.
What was the application process?
I sent my cover letter and resume to the contact in the internship description. The very next day, I received an email for an interview in New York.
What kind of responsibilities did you have as an intern?
My daily tasks consisted of working in the editorial closet. The editorial closet is full merchandise seen in O Magazine. We would bring bags that were in the closet the night before out into the hallway for the messengers. The bags came from different PR (public relation) companies working with Oprah Magazine. When a package is sent from one of the PR companies, interns record the information about the time, date, company, the editor it came in for, and the intern who checked it in. When editors were done with a story, we would send back the clothing and other items to the PR company. To track what we sent out, we had to record the same information as check-in, except it was going out.
What did you learn?
Be curious. When you ask questions editors are impressed because it shows that you want to learn more. By asking questions you learn more about what you're doing, and what goes on around you. One day, when I was sitting next to one of the freelancers, the fashion assistant asked her if she had the credits for the upcoming issue. After they tended to the situation, I asked the jewelry freelancer, "What are credits?"
She said, "Credits are the prices for the product that are displayed in the magazine. It has the company's website and price so that readers can purchase the product."
Another time, I asked the fashion assistant why certain editors receive the same brand name of items. She explained, "Each editor has a list of companies they work with."
I had no idea that there was an organized system when editors requested items and clothing from a certain brand. I also learned why certain stories are "killed" in a run-through. Some stories didn't make it to the issue because there weren't enough pages for it to run, or the creative direction simply did not like the story.
How long was your internship?
My internship was from September 3- December 18, 2014. I went in twice a week.
What was the best advice you received during your internship?
The editors always told us to carry a notebook. Carrying a notebook is very important because you can jot down notes for the day, this can help you remember them down the road for when you do the assignment again. It's also important to carry a notebook around because in my case, the editors saw that I was putting in effort to really understand and remember what I was doing. You can also write down your day-to-day tasks, and memorable moments you had that day.
What are your plans and hopes for the future?
I want to be an editor or Editor-in-Chief, or the creative director of a magazine. I also want to write and publish children books.

The branch of marketing is really vast and has many benefits in the career. Since students who take interest in such subject are often given the task to make a marketing plan as it is a part of their Marketing Marketing Assignment Help Australia. Marketing is all about producing and eventually getting benefits from them. To promote the business is the main task of a marketing plan. However, as easy it sounds, it is much more difficult. The whole process of doing such is much longer than expected and it gives depression to the students once they spend their so many hours in the finishing of the Marketing Assignment Help Australia but they get nowhere. The process of making a marketing plan is not easy and requires the skills of a professional who has the experience of the market. You can say that it is just like a business plan as they both have one motive and that is the success of the business. However, this process needs much more effort than just sit and make a plan. You have to go through a long list of steps in order to complete it. The marketing plan plays the role of a father in the making of business. You must have the skills that it requires in the completion of such lengthy process. However, if you don't have confidence in yourself then you can simply come to us and get our best Marketing Assignment Help Australia. There is a long staircase behind a simple marketing plan and you must have what it takes to climb the stairs
What is marketing plan?
A business is started on the base of a marketing plan. To start a business, you have to go through a long set of thoughts and actions before you even think about making a move on the business. Like every other decision you make, you think very concisely about the actions and reactions of the decision that you will be making. You have to see what kind of effects will come on the ones around you if you make that decision. Just like that, you have to think and think about the decision you are going to make about your business. You have to see if you have what it takes to build your own business or not. You have to assess every point and dot so that the probability of failing is minimum and the rate of success is more. After all, the whole idea of making a business is just so that it can give you the benefits for which you built it. There will no meaning to its existence if it cannot give you for what you built it. A marketing plan is just like a base of your house on which the whole structure of the house is standing. Just imagine if the base of the house is weak, what will happen? The water will start seeping into your house slowly. It will not increase until it faces something very disastrous. Then, when it rains, the water will enter your house like a flood and will destroy everything in your house. You will not know what to do in such situation. You will try to get the water but by that time, water would have already destroyed many of your things. Just like this, if your marketing plan is not strong then the business will suffer. However, it will not suffer until something big hits it but when it does, the whole business will start to crumble down. That is why you have to very careful in the making of the marketing plan.
Why are Marketing Assignment Help Australia given?

You have to make the market plan in such a way that it has all the potency required to stand straight even when someone punches it straight in the face. Now, there are some steps to make a potent marketing plan and you will have to overcome such hurdles by using your skills. You must have the talent required to complete such long process of finishing marketing plan. There is always some holes in everything you do, you just have to find these holes so you can reach your destined point which not much difficulty. In case of a marketing plan, you have to think about the strategies one must have made so to build such a huge business. What makes the biggest business tycoon different from you? You have to realize that you will have to make your plan in a way that it can counter all the difficulties that a business faces when it is still on the market. You will have to gather info on the ways of how the market works. You will have to think very cunningly but just so to realize what one must do to build a powerful business. However, you should realize that gathering info is not the only thing on which you should spend all of your time. Before even gathering info, you have to work on the idea. You have to choose between the ideas according to the potency that it has in the market. An idea only matters if it has the power to stand in the competitive market.

You have to find the dots in your plan which could make your plan lose its feet.

You will have to work on the values so to find the perfect budget and financial plan for your business so when it passes through a storm, it will not lose much.

You will have to build your plan in such a way that it is incredibly organized and can explain the future of the business.

The gut microbiome plays an important role in early immune development and starts developing towards mature, adult composition immediately after birth. Orally administered dextrose gel is a simple and effective treatment for low blood sugar levels in babies. Clinicians and parents are often concerned about the effects this treatment has on the gut microbiome, which are not known nor have been studied.
The hPOD trial is currently recruiting babies at risk of low blood sugars to determine whether giving preventative dextrose gel can reduce low blood sugar levels and admission to intensive care. To assess treatment's effect on the gut microbiome, we will recruit 180 babies which will be divided into three groups (dextrose gel treatment, placebo treatment, no treatment control) and collect their stool at three different time points; 1 day, 1 week and 1 month after birth. Microbiota of the stool samples will be determined using 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
- Ability to learn lab techniques to extract DNA from the collected stool samples.
- Ability to learn bioinformatics techniques to analyse the DNA sequencing data
- Prior experience in lab work is required
- Prior programming and bioinformatics skills are not required but are considered as an advantage
This project aims at determining the effect of oral dextrose gel on the baby's gut microbiome. The findings will be important for understanding the effect of dextrose gel not only for possible prevention of low sugars in the future, but for the thousands of babies around the world already receiving dextrose gel for treatment of low blood sugar levels.

Now that the Dino's are done I can start my next project, a saw till. It incorporates some elements of the tool box design I built (designed by Michael Pekovich) but I could not work out a door design I liked. Then I was reading my copy of Classic Arts and Craft Furniture by Robert W. Lang and noticed the Harvey Ellis bookcase has a door which was around the correct size and low and behold it worked out pretty great.
The plan is to use some dimensional pine lumber from the hardware store for the main sides and some quartersawn Douglas Fir (apparently quartersawn softwood is called SVG) for the door and back.

Today we bid a fond farewell to both Upper 5 and Upper 6 who came back to school for their Book Return Day. A formal assembly in Prevett Hall included presentations and thanks and ended with a rendition of the School Carmen.
After visiting teachers and returning books Upper 6 had lunch in the Philosophers' Garden before leaving school to prepare for this evening's joint Prom with the Boys' School.
Upper 5 enjoyed a sing-a-long version of Grease via an outdoor cinema on the field. Afterwards Miss O'Connor's garden played host to a BBQ lunch.
We wish all our departing students the very best of luck and we look forward to seeing them back in school in the future. To our Upper 5 we say a temporary goodbye before they rejoin us in September as members of Lower 6.

The California Gold Rush and the opening of the West drove economic interest and demand for a Transcontinental Railroad. In 1863, the Union Pacific began laying track from Omaha to the west while the Central Pacific Railroad Company headed east from Sacramento, California. The two rails would eventually connect on an historic day in May, 1869 in Promontory, Utah. The Central Pacific, plagued by labor and financial problems, laid down only 50 miles of track in the first two years. To compound their problems, the construction path now faced treacherous terrain that rose 7,000 feet into the high Sierras.
In his painting, "The Powder Monkeys," artist Mian Situ honors the Chinese laborers who, in 1865, were hired for $28 per month to do the very dangerous work of blasting tunnels and laying tracks. The Chinese, using techniques they learned at home, were lowered in baskets by rope from the top of cliffs. They hand drilled holes into the granite and packed them with black powder (and later nitroglycerine) to blast tunnels. Many workers risked their lives and perished in the harsh winters and dangerous conditions.
Mian Situ
Born in Southern China, Mian Situ received his formal art training in his native homeland of Guangdong, formerly Canton. He graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the prestigious Guangzhou Institute of Fine Art. After instructing for six years, he earned a Masters in Fine Art. Immigrating to Canada, then later moving to the United States, Mians paintings clearly reflect his upbringing in the rural countryside of his native China. His artistic diversification of subject matter, from the people of the small villages and farming communities going about their daily lives to the exquisite portraitures as well as his most recent works inspired by western historical themes and American landscapes, all reflect the sensitive dedication of this Master Artist. Mian has been recognized with many national art awards. During the 2002 Masters of the American West exhibition and sale at the Autry National Center in Los Angeles California, Mian Situ received the Masters of the American West Museum Purchase Award, the Thomas Moran Memorial Award for Artistic Merit and the Patrons Choice Award. In 2003, Mian was honored with the Thomas Moran Memorial Award, Artists Choice Award and Patrons Choice Award. Most recently, in 2005, Mian was presented with the Artists Choice Award for his painting, The Word of God. Mian Situ is represented by Trailside Galleries in Scottsdale, Arizona and Jackson, Wyoming. He lives with his wife, Helen and daughter, Lisa in Southern California.

Because she protested this whole shoot until I let her pull on the tree branch, that was the game changer! This week has been full of protests, both big and small. I try to remind myself in the moment that it's all part of the process and her frustrations are at her inability to move and communicate at the same rate her mind is going….some days go better than others. Right now her rebellion is drawing on her kitchen walls or our cabinets. She usually gets the crayons taken away 3-4 times a day. Her new thing is to open the door to her kitchen's fridge to block you view of her so you can see her doing it. It's adorable, but destructive none the less.
Today I also made sure to remind myself of my goal as a parent, to raise a person who loves and respects others. The news from Orlando is heartbreaking and so hard to understand. Sometimes it terrifies me that she is going to be out in the world, but then I remind myself if I teach her to be a good person she can help change the future.
// favorite past-time //
Hours of coloring, which she makes sure to remind you she is coloring on paper…then you see blue all over the cabinets! She really loves to draw though which makes me so happy!
// least favorite hair style //
I have officially starting putting her in pigtails, she hates it but I can't get over how she looks so much older with her hair up! Unlike headbands she leaves them in after the struggle.

They would play in the water, take a nap and maybe work a few hours. Afterwards catch a pargo and go home to eat with plantains and rice, sounds like a dream to me!

Month: April 2018
We all love to travel and explore new places. Attraction to new and exciting experiences are undeniable. For mountain lovers like me it is impossible to ignore the call of the mesmerising beauty of the Himalayas. The magnetic allure of living life on the edge thrill most of the people. But sometimes,one's physical health comes as an obstruction in the path of fulfilling their dreams..
Mr.DiptenduDutta, fondly known as Tutun Da, an avid trekker,nature lover and a person who calls The Himalayas as his "girlfriend", the founder of Charonik, shared his story of how he saved a man's life who suffered sudden Pulmonary Edema while on a hiking trip. Had he not been aware of the ways that can saved that man's life at that crucial time, it could have been fatal. But now, he has been hiking and trekking for years now. He knows the trekking routes like the back of his hands!!
But what about the amateur trekkers? Being a doctor myself and a travel lover, this incident made me realise that travelling is not always fun and adventure.The Himalayas can be beautiful and deadly at the same time. So we better be prepared to face the adversities.
This article is about some basic precautions that a person can take before going on a hiking trip to the mountains because we all know " Prevention is better than cure"!!
Eat healthy,Stay healthy
If you are trekking, physical fitness is very important. Avoid eating loads of junk food, drink lots of water and EXERCISE. This makes sure that your muscles do not fatigue easily. Otherwise those long uphill walks can lead to cramps and take a toll on your body. Altitude sickness and acclamatization problems in high altitudes can be a big hazard if you are not healthy and fit enough.
Discuss with your doctor about the pros and cons of going on a trekking trip about 6-7 weeks in advance. Immunize yourself from deadly diseases if not already done.
Screen for illnesses like Hypertension, Diabetes, Anemia, Ulcers and most importantly Asthma and Cardiovascular Diaseases.
Always remember that you don't want to fall ill in a place where you will not get proper medical attendance. You do not want to spoil your trip and the others' as well!!
Dental Check Up
Dental problems are not to be ignored or considered trivial. You don't wat to come back from a hike simply because your "tooth hurts" !! Get a treatment done if the little pearls in your mouth are bothering you.
Medical Kit
Your medical kit/first aid box should contain these basic items :
- Sunscreen
- Bandages
- Scissors and adhesive tapes
- Topical antibiotic ointment
- Water purifier solutions
- Painkillers
- Oral Antibiotics
- Anti-Emetics( Domperidone)
- Hydrocortisone/ Prednisolone tablets
- Nasal decongestant spray
- Hand sanitizers
Packing is an integral part of going on a trip. Be sure to pack your necessary belongings well in advance for the trip. Last minute effort may lead to injury or over-training.
Now, coming to an important but simple medical procedure that everyone should know. You never know when it might come handy where you get to save a life.It is a simple procedure called CPR or Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation. CPR is a life saving technique used in medical emergencies such as heart attack or cardiac arrest. To know more about CPR, Internet is your best friend! Just go to Youtube and learn about the procedure.
All these medical precautions may be hard to follow but a little bit of discipline will not only get you ready for the trek but will also help you maintain a healthy lifestyle.
ARTICLE BY : Dr. Debarati Kundu
People wonder why people trek to Himalayas? All of us might have seen those who trek, return to trek again and again. They keep trekking till they can, they get restless; some leave their jobs, some fight with their bosses to get leaves, they fight with their parents or loved ones to be there and trek to the mountains.
But why is this restlessness for trek to Himalayas?
Almost every walk in the Himalaya has the potential to turn into a hike. Almost every village in the mountains especially around the higher himalayan ranges will have trek-able peaks. And most of these have streams flowing by the side, with flocks of sheep grazing on grass. Even the stray dogs and cows are almost non disturbing here. You can truly experience the pristine rural beauty you have seen in the pictures since your childhood days.
A large part of the Himalayas are surrounded by small villages, luxury in staying is hardly available all around. Which means, if you decide to hike up the mountains, you got the opportunity to Talk to the locals, stay at their places and eat the foods they cook. Honesty & simplicity of their hospitality freshened up your mind & mood.
A trek to the Himalaya changes a human mind. It refines human mind, and with each trek one does, he or she emerges out of the mountains as a new person all together. The massive, strong and dangerous looking gigantic mountains standing in front of him or her softens heart and makes one realize that he or she is just a human being – Nature's own creation, like any other being, No big, No small, but certainly The special one. You may feel like a Nature's Child. How big you might be for the society, Mother Nature teaches and preaches equality like no one else can.
Trekking in the Himalayas takes one deeper and higher into the mountains, a fairyland. with all its natural or super natural versatility, in forms of rivers, meadows, vast snowfield, glaciers, rains, snowfalls, clouds, sunrise, sunset, days, nights and variety of floras and faunas … everything performs a different play each day.
Trekking in the Himalayas involves a lot of hard work, physical & mental strength and efforts. A mountain, which seems un-climbable, after sometime one realizes he or she is on the top of it. It's a result of one's effort, determination, patience and courage. Something, which was never realized earlier. Trekking purify human souls, boosts up spirits & morals, pumps positivity.
And finally, in the words of Reinhold Messner…
"From a hostile world, we brought nothing back but our experiences. And at the end of every journey to the limits, when we were back again among human beings, all we had left was our lives – lives that had been saved and now called out to be filled again, with challenges, goals and tasks."
So it is the eternal spirit, which drives the human mind. And that Mind needs to be refuelled time to time for which we go for the trek to Himalayas.

A few reasons why renovating your business will increase your sales.
No matter what business you are in, when you do renovations, your sales will increase suddenly. This increase can be important and go up to doubling your sales in the following year.
We will show you some of the factors that cause this increase.
Firstly, when you are renovating your business, you must advise your customers that there will be a temporary closure of the premises due to renovations. Regular customers are therefore happy that there is a renewal and be sure that when you reopen, they will return to your business to see the new products that have been made. They will talk to those around them, bring you new customers and bring back customers who already knew you but had lost the habit of coming to you.
In addition, when you prepare your renovations, it is at this time that you have the opportunity to make improvements to your premises. You have many years of experience and the market has probably changed since you did your last works. The new environment you create in your business will bring you greater efficiency and better match the needs of your current customers. By reviewing the positioning of your products, you can reorganize your business so as to highlight the star products, those that attract the most your customers and those that bring you a larger margin. Your business must stand out with an up-to-date atmosphere so that customers come to see you and want to buy from you, not in the internet, where the price war prevails.
Another positive aspect of the renovations is that they allow you to attract a new client base that would not have been targeted by keeping your old concept. You must then rethink a concept that will suit your current clientele and which will also affect a new segment of customers. This is the right time to add value to new products.
Finally, having a business that is up-to-date and well-suited for your employees, it attracts the best talent and helps you hire competent people. By having the best staff, your customers are better served, come back more often, talk about you and you become a reference in their network!
All these elements allow you to carry out renovations and make you benefit from an increase in your sales almost instantly. It is important to prepare your game plan for your renovations in order to take full advantage of their potential.
If you want advice on your new developments, we will take the time to know your real needs and offer you customized advice so that you can take full advantage of this opportunity.

At first glance reading from such a IEC 62056-21 compliant metering device seems to be fairly straightforward:
1. First we send a request for communication to the device
2. The device will send identification information back
3. In return we will acknowledge that identification message
4. And finally the metering device will start sending tariff data
In practice however, seizing the tariff data from the device is often more difficult than expected. Mostly due to lack of available documentation.
In response to some questions posted on this forum, and to save you from many hours of digging and reading, here's a little guidance on how to read the IR port of a IEC 62056-21 compliant metering device:
The IEC 62056-21 specification states that initial communication between the requester (application) and the metering device will start at 300 baud using 7 bits, one stop bit and an even parity bit.
To inform the metering device that we would like to communicate with it, we send a "request message" to the device:
In code, this could look like this:
- Code: Select all
SerialPort port = new SerialPort("COM1", 300, Parity.Even, 7, StopBits.One);
port.WriteLine("/?!"); // WriteLine adds CR+LF
The metering device will respond to our request by returning an "identification message":
This message can be read fairly easy:
- Code: Select all
string data = port.ReadLine(); // Read data from the device
The returned identification message data might read something like /ISK5\2ME382-1003 (which is identifying an Iskraemeco ME382 metering device).
Now let's start deciphering what this message data means:
The data starts with the Start character, followed by the manufacturer identification.
The manufacturer identification consists of three upper case letters (eg. ISK), or two upper case letters plus one lower case letter (eg. ISk). If the third letter is a lower case letter this means that the metering device has a minimum response time of 20ms instead of 200ms. Aldo this might seem not that important, not obeying to the required response time can really screw up the communication with your device (trust me, been there ) (a list of manufacturers identification codes can be found here: dlms.com/organization/flagmanufacturesi ... index.html.)
The Baud rate identification is used for the baud rate changeover. The "request message", the "acknowledgement/option" and the "identification message" are transmitted with an initial rate of 300 baud. Subsequent communication can be performed at higher speed. With the baud rate identification the metering device indicates the required baud rate for further communication.
In this case the metering device returns the value of 5, indicating a communication speed of 9600 baud. So we have to change our baud rate to 9600 baud in order to continue communication with the device.
The Sequence delimiter "\" (0x5c) is always followed by the mode identification character and will only occur in conjunction with the Mode identification character. This field is optional and part of the 16 characters long identification.
The Mode identification character defines the used communications protocol. Currently IEC 62056-21 compliant devices only support the High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) mode (value of 2). The field is optional and part of the 16 characters long identification. (note: interpretation and usage of this character is unclear to me)
And finally the Device identification is manufacturer-specific and may consist of maximum 16 characters. Each character is allowed, excepted are the characters "/", "!". The character "\" is only allowed as ESC character and only in conjunction with the two optional fields "sequence delimiter" and "mode identification.
- Code: Select all
string manufacturersIdentification = data.Substring(1, 3);
string baudrateIdentification = data.Substring(4, 1);
string modeIdentification = data.Substring(6, 1);
string identification = data.Substring(7);
Now that we have all the necessary device information we can acknowledge the identification message and switch over the desired communication speed. We start by sending an "acknowledgement/option" message to the metering device, still at initial speed (300 baud):
In this "acknowledgement/option" message we confirm to the device that we will continue communication with the following parameters:
We set the Protocol control character to zero (0), indicating a normal protocol procedure
(it is unclear to me why this has to be a value of 0, but it is the only value my metering device is responding to).
We set the Baud rate identifier to a value of 5, indicating a communication speed of 9600 baud (as specified by the device in the previous "Identification message")
And finally set the Mode control character (to a value of 0) to indicate we want to read data from the metering device:
In code, this might resemble like:
- Code: Select all
char protocolControl = '0';
char modeControl = '0';
string acknowledge = (char)0x006 + protocolControl + baudrateIdentification + modeControl;
Thread.Sleep(200); // Wait for 200ms (not needed for a 20ms device)
int baudRate = 300;
switch (baudrateIdentification)
case "0": break;
case "1": baudRate = 600; break;
case "2": baudRate = 1200; break;
case "3": baudRate = 2400; break;
case "4": baudRate = 4800; break;
case "5": baudRate = 9600; break;
case "6": baudRate = 19200; break;
default: break;
port.BaudRate = baudRate; // Change over baud rate
And now, finally, we are set to read data messages from the device!
The data message is typically used for the transmission of tariff data by the metering device. Transmission starts immediately after the transmission of the "acknowledgement/option" message. A typical data message will look like:
The "Block checksum character" is the calculated length parity over the characters of the data message beginning immediately after the STX up to the included ETX .
Immediately after changing the baud rate we can start reading data from the device:
- Code: Select all
const char endChar = (char)0x21;
string telegram = string.Empty;
data = port.ReadLine();
telegram = telegram + data;
} while (data.IndexOf(EndChar) == -1);
The metering device will return data in the form of a telegram containing so called COSEM objects (using OBIS, the Object Identification System).
More on how to interpret COSEM/OBIS data can be found in the Dutch Smart Meter Specification, especially the P1 companion standard:

Writing is not a solitary journey though there are times it feels that way. The inspiration required to keep going and finish is immeasurable. Sometimes it's not enough for family and friends to cheer us on; we need to hear what the accomplished ones have to say too. Below are the musings of 8 black writers on writing. Be inspired and encouraged.
"Deliver me from writers who say the way they live doesn't matter. I'm not sure a bad person can write a good book. If art doesn't make us better, then what on earth is it for." Alice Walker
"Look at what's happening in this world. Every day there's something exciting or disturbing to write about. With all that's going on, how could I stop?" Gwendolyn Brooks
"Some critics will write 'Maya Angelou is a natural writer' – which is right after being a natural heart surgeon." Maya Angelou
"We write because we believe the human spirit cannot be tamed and should not be trained." Nikki Giovanni
"If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." Toni Morrison
"I don't know how to write. I just do it." J. California Cooper
"When you're writing first person, all I can see and tell as the author is what that main character can see." Pearl Cleage
"The symbiotic relationship between reading and writing is a cornerstone of our individual intellectual journey and our educational system. We write as an act of self-expression. We read because language renders unto us the vitality of real and imagined experience." Marita Golden

US destroys Iranian drone in Strait of Hormuz: Trump
Thursday July 18 2019
The US military shot down an Iranian drone on Thursday that came within 1,000 yards of one of its naval vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump said.
The USS Boxer "took defensive action" against the Iranian drone as it was "threatening the safety of the ship and the ship's crew," Trump announced at the White House.
"The drone was immediately destroyed," he added.
The downing of the drone comes at a time of mounting tensions in the Gulf region between the US and Iran which has been slapped with a raft of sanctions by the Trump administration.
"This is the latest of many provocative and hostile actions by Iran, against vessels operating in international waters," said Trump.
"The United States reserves the right to defend our personnel facilities, and interests and calls upon all nations to condemn Iran's freedom of navigation and global commerce.
"I also call on other nations to protect their ships as they go through the Strait and to work with us in the future."

Lindsay's Essay
The Test of a Civilization
"It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped." (Hubert H. Humphrey) With experts predicting that by 2050 the number of Americans over the age of 65 will have doubled and 1 out of every 4 people will be senior citizens; including an estimated 7.1 million afflicted with Alzheimer's disease (a 40% increase); the way our government responds to this "Silver Tsunami" will determine the fate of our society as a whole. Pearl S. Buck once said, "Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members."
This "Silver Tsunami" of aging Baby Boomers is unprecedented in the history of the United States. Gone are the days of matriarchies, where three or more generations of a family resided together and helped and supported each other. These aging Baby Boomers were the first generation in which the norm was for women to work outside of the home. They are a generation accustomed to the finer things in life such as nice cars and home ownership and they were willing to work hard to achieve a comfortable lifestyle. This dedication to career has resulted in a constantly declining birth rate over the last few decades which has left our nation with fewer young people to replace our aging seniors. With our younger citizens being classified as the "me" generation it is going to become increasingly difficult to find young people willing and able to care for our senior citizens. "Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them." (James A. Baldwin) With that in mind the "Baby Boomers" who make up our government, medical profession, scientific and technological communities need to start now to address the need for more effective senior care programs that will stand the test of time and allow for the ever decreasing number of care givers. In formulating their plans these leaders need to into account the problems resulting from our nation's lack of universal health care, the very real possibility that social security may go the way of the dinosaurs, and the ever increasing costs of food, housing, and transportation which plague not only our senior population but all of our citizens.
The secret weapon in our arsenal in the battle against the "Silver Tsunami" is the fact that our "Baby Boomers are technologically savvy. We must wield this technological superiority like Excalibur's sword and cut through the apathy, disdain, and intolerance that is directed towards our senior population. Fortunately leaders in our Technological community have already taken steps to utilize their knowledge and resources to prepare for the "Silver Tsunami" and anticipate a time when more and more of our senior citizens can be allowed to age in their own homes safely, independently, and more cost effectively. The Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation and the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society (the nation's largest not-for-profit provider of senior care and services) have teamed up for Mayo's Healthy Aging & Independent Living (HAIL) Lab where focus groups, engineers, and computer programmers work together to design, prototype, and test new services and technologies designed to make it easier and safer for senior citizens to remain in their homes. Care Innovations a partnership between Intel Corporation and GE have created The Innovation Series which is already providing technology-based solutions for everyday living. This collaborative; which has given us the infamous clapper for turning lights on and off; is now working on WiSee which will allow hand gestures to turn lights and appliances on and off as well as turning the room temperature up or down. The topic of senior care brought 1800 of the world's best thinkers and doers in health and technology together this year at a conference called TEDMED, where they debuted The Hive which is dedicated to supporting inventions and entrepreneurs in health and medicine. The Hive has thus far given us the following innovations in senior care.
- QMedic– is a wearable sensor that monitors the senior's physical activity, sleep, and any falls. It gives real-time alerts to off-site caregivers and provides data to monitor health decline, with the added bonus that the system operates without ever needing to recharge the batteries.
- Neurotrack Technologies– has the ability to diagnose Alzheimer's disease or dementia long before symptoms even appear, and in turn leads to developing drugs to treat or prevent the disease.
- iMpak Health– is another sensor based technology which alerts physicians to events that occur to their patients at home that might indicate a problem with medicine usage or other situations.
- VGBio– is a wireless technology which analyzes bio signals given off by the seniors and provides caregivers and physicians early notification of a change in their patient's condition.
- iWatch from Apple and Jawbone Up– both fit around the wrist, and monitor heart rates and sleep patterns that can be uploaded and analyzed by the physician.
- PAMSys– by BioSensics and Aventyn remotely monitors the senior's physical activity, ECS, gait, and posture.
- Metria wearable sensors– by Avery Dennison sticks to the wearer's skin and provides algorithms which the caregiver can analyze remotely and advise if action is required.
Other monitoring tools already in use include:
- Mymedic Telehealth Monitor (LivingMadeEasy.org.uk) works with scales, blood pressure monitors, glucose monitors, and peak flow meters and Bluetooth technology to send data to physicians if there are any abnormal measurements.
- GrandCare System– is basically a computer with large icons that give the at home seniors access to their medications, internet browsing, and games to fight off mental decline.
- Proteus Digital Health Feedback System– is a special pill that is mixed in with the senior's regular daily pills, and once swallowed it sends a signal to a patch on their stomach and alerts caregiver's smartphone in a remote location that the senior has taken his prescribed medication.
In addition to the above named monitoring tools, technology has been developed that tracks the seniors location, which is particularly helpful for patients suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's who might wander off. If the senior leaves the "safe zone", a designated contact is immediately alerted via their smartphone. Tracking devices available include GPS-equipped watches, shoes with GPS trackers sewn inside, and phones such as the Doro PhoneEasy 618 (available for only $60 at major retailers) which has big buttons, easy for the seniors to use. This phone also has one big button on the outside of the phone, which when pressed quickly 3 times will alert a pre-programmed emergency contact. The phone also has an icon called ICE that stores important data such as height, weight, date of birth, emergency contact numbers, physician information, allergies, medications, blood type, vaccinations, and any medical conditions. These tracking devices allow seniors to remain independent and continue living at home, while giving their loved ones peace of mind.
Senior Care technology is not limited only to tracking and monitoring the patient. Japan, where 40% of the population is estimated to be seniors by the year 2050, has really stepped up in developing technology to allow seniors the dignity of living independently. Knowing the importance of interacting with other living things, they have developed robots who can entertain and help the seniors when human company is unavailable. Chapit is a monkey-like robot that can learn over 10,000 words and in addition to returning a morning greeting, it can change TV channels, browse the internet for you, and turn electric items on and off. The Japanese government has funded the Paro a "fuzzy, seal-like robot the size of a large cat" that likes to be held and petted and provides companionship to seniors who either can't have real pets in their homes or are too frail to care for them. RIBA looks like a cute little bear, but in reality is a robot that can respond to voice commands from the senior or their caregiver and can lift patients weighing up to 135 pounds on and off beds, wheelchairs, and toilets. Robovie-II is a robot provided in Japanese stores which helps the elderly and disabled shop by guiding them through the store, reminding them of their shopping list (which has been downloaded from the shoppers smartphone), and even carry the groceries. The RAPUDA arm is a robotic arm that can be attached to a wheelchair and operated with a joystick to help pick up objects.
For these Baby Boomers to whom smartphones, tablets, and computers are as vital as their arms and legs, technology is the key to providing for their senior years. More and more seniors want to remain in their homes as they age and continue to live independently. This desire for independence accompanied by the fact that paying for in-home caregivers are exorbitantly expensive, and nursing homes cost over $50,000 a year, means that we as a country need to provide the resources to expand the technology to allow our seniors to remain as home. While no technology can replace human contact, it can provide care, comfort, and peace of mind. "Old age is not a disease-it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses." (Maggie Kuhn)
As a neuroscience major on the pre-med track at Baylor University I know that technology will be vitally important to the care and treatment of my future patients. I also realize that the senior citizens of today have paved the way for me; a poor girl from a very small Texas town; to be able to one day reach my goal of becoming a Neurosurgeon. As a society we need to honor and revere our senior citizens, who have struggled and fought to give us the amazing life we have today in the United States of America. The future growth of our nation is contingent upon preparing for the "Senior Tsunami" with increased development of technological innovations to provide for the health and independence of our aging population. As Yo-Yo Ma once said, "When you learn something from people or from a culture, you accept it as a gift; it is your lifelong commitment to preserve and build on it."

This is a photo of an air consumption drill that we typically do during our Mayday training. However, we encourage our company officers to use these like pop quizzes every so often to keep our people comfortable and familiar with their SCBA's.
This is a simple drill that makes the firefighter be "active" for a duration of time that is dictated by how long it takes for their low air alarm to sound.
This provides the firefighter with the opportunity to become familiar with how long they have until their low alarm goes off. This is important, especially in larger structures, because we want them exiting prior to that alarm going off if at all possible.
Once the alarm goes off they just walk or stand as if they were conserving air. This provides them with an idea of about how long they can conserve their air if they do get trapped and their low air alarm does activate.
Is this drill perfect? NO! But, it is a good drill and the more often we put our people on air, the more comfortable and confident they get wearing it.
You can add several other little twists and curves to this drill to challenge their SCBA skills. Get creative and keep it fresh. In many instances, the guys and gals doing the drill will think of new ways to perform it.
Train hard and stay safe.
