Neurodata Without Borders
Neurodata Without Borders is an alliance of scientists and funders with a shared interest in breaking down the barriers to data sharing in neuroscience. These barriers, many of which are technological, impede the flow of valuable information within the neuroscience community and hinder the pace of scientific discovery. Yet the need for widespread data sharing has never been greater: Large-scale brain research projects, including the BRAIN Initiative in the United States, are producing unprecedented amounts of data, which cannot be analyzed by individual laboratories. Therefore, the full benefits of these data will not be realized until data sharing becomes the norm, rather than the exception.
Neurodata Without Borders was initiated by The Kavli Foundation in 2014 to begin to address this problem. Its first pilot project, Neurodata Without Borders: Neurophysiology, developed a standardized data format for cellular-based neurophysiology data. Additional projects related to human brain imaging and high-performance computing are underway.

There are standardized file formats that allow us to share digital images and create readable web pages, but few exist for many fields of science, including neuroscience. Neurodata Without Borders: Neurophysiology was established as a one-year pilot project to create a common data format for cellular-based neurophysiology data, overcoming one of the major technical barriers to data sharing. The "NWB" format, a result of focused collaboration between a handful of neuroscientists and software developers, now makes it easier for neuroscientists worldwide to compare and combine large neurophysiology data sets.
The "NWB" data format is used by the Allen Institute for Brain Science to support the Allen Cell Type Database, a catalog of cell types in the mouse brain, and is being adopted by other laboratories around the world. The format is available for download at neurodatawithoutborders.github.io, along with a variety of data sets and custom tools.
NWB: Neurophysiology is funded by the Allen Institute for Brain Science, GE, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) and The Kavli Foundation. The founding scientific partners are the Buzsáki Group at the New York University School of Medicine, the Meister Group at the California Institute of Technology, the Svoboda Lab at Janelia Research Campus of the HHMI and the Allen Institute and the University of California, Berkeley. Ovation.io is the founding software development partner.

So, I must tell you that these doughnuts are absolutely fabulous. They are everything a cake doughnut should be: a nice crust on the outside, with a light (not too sweet) cake inside, & a delicious glaze. These are almost like the crullers I remember from my childhood. My Dad & my Uncle Marty would bring back these wonderful crullers from the Allwood Bakery in Clifton. They would sit there in our kitchen having coffee & crullers and talk about horses (they were big into horse racing but not in a bad way). Sadly, you can't get a good cruller these days. These doughnuts are a close second.
They were really not hard to make. However, I did realize that using the Waring Deep Fryer was not the appropriate tool here. You do not make doughnuts in a little fry basket (no room to flip). Luckily, we have an electric fryer that worked great. And, it didn't take all that long. After the dough rests for an hour, you're good to go. I did only make half the recipe because I really don't need two dozen doughnuts sitting around and this was just a test. And I made the original glaze (remember, I said I was going to skip the glaze & just use powdered sugar?). Well, you can't really have maple doughnuts without the maple and the maple is in the glaze.
I've attached a few photos here. It was a great way to while away a Saturday afternoon - I strongly encourage you bakers/fryers out there to try it.

Pathological Discourses of Fictional Ageing in Vampiric Myths
Marta Baldellow
Vampirism as a Malevolent or Medical Source?
The figure of the vampire has been inextricably linked to the history of humanity since ancient and classical times as an embodiment of fear, otherness, evil and the object. Nonetheless, its manifestations in the domain of literature especially began to proliferate during the Victorian period.
According to critics such as Teresa Mangum, ageing became of special interest to Victorians, while the literary vampire became the quintessential personification of old age, displaying both its contradictory and oxymoronic traits as well as reflecting some of the stereotypical values often attached to old age.
The vampire is ultimately a being, apparently human, that does not look its real age. It is through deceit that the vampire pretends to be young, despite its blatant actual old age, thus defying moral principles and subverting any socially accepted standards as for how a young and an aged person should behave respectively.
Likewise, not only does the vampire problematise the social need to categorise people according to age by means of their appearance, but it also subverts the traditionally established dilemma which usually separates mind and body in old age.
A legacy of René Descartes' philosophy in the seventeenth-century was his thesis of mind-body dualism, which argued that mind and body are distinct, because of the nature of the mind, which is a thinking and non-extended thing, is different from that of the body, which is an extended and non-thinking thing.
This argument has given shape to the problem of the mind-body interaction which is still debated today, and which is of relevance to ageing studies in so much as the decline of the body and the wisdom of the mind are concerned.
In his treatise on 'Old Age,' written in c.65 BC, which, according to Karen Chase, still resounded in Victorian times, Marcus Tullius Cicero already pointed to this difference between mind and body in relation to youth and old age stating: "For I admire a young man who has something of the old man in him, so do I an old one who has something of a young man. The man who aims at this may possibly become old in body — in mind, he never will."
Marcus Tullius Cicero's reference underlines the need to blend youth and age, as well as the differing effects of ageing on both body and mind. In this respect, the vampire is an embodiment of both youth and age, as it has a young appearance which hides a truly aged being.
Likewise, even though its body remains untouched by the effects of ageing, the vampire is often portrayed as haunted by an everlasting existence and the memories of an unusually projected existence.
The concern about ageing during the Victorian period necessarily finds its reflection in the proliferation of vampire narratives. Thus, it does not appear random that both ageing and vampire fiction began to attract attention in the nineteenth-century; underlining a strongly related link between them.
In the Victorian period, interest in old age can be seen reflected in a number of developments such as the central place given to institutions for the care of the elderly, the creation of the elderly subject as a category in medical discourse, and the recognition of a need for a public provision in old age.
The centrality old age acquired was also coupled with the elusiveness of old age as an experience, and both the power and powerlessness with which old age was often associated, which contributed to defining old age as a complex experience.
Karen Chase has also referred to the Victorian concern with old age stemming from the fact that, due to the improved conditions of life in the nineteenth-century, people were expected to live longer, life expectancy rose significantly higher, and people became more attracted to the prolongation of life, which at the time sharply contrasted with a notoriously high rate of children's mortality.
Nonetheless, until the twentieth-century, living long was considered fairly exceptional, thus allowing old age "to be treated as non-normative," to use Helen Small's words. It is in this respect that, according to Robert Butler, the social disease of ageism began to take shape, and old age became endowed with moral judgements of mental or moral incapability in addition to declining health.
In the United States of America, the historian David Hackett Fischer even referred to the nineteenth-century as a period characterised by the cult of youth and a time where gerontophobia began to settle in.
Likewise, Thomas Cole also traces how the American cultural response to ageing shifted from the positive existential meaning of old age, as biblically sanctioned in the Puritan era, to the scientific normalised view of ageing which began to prevail later on, thus exploring the dualistic conception of old age as, on one hand, venerable due to religious moral, and on the other hand, dependent and infirm due to a presumable lack of moral restraint.
In this sense, public imagination had to contend with significantly contradictory images of ageing as a golden period as well as portraits of the aged as a mass of dependent people that began to menace the common welfare of the Victorian nation.
In this sense, in vampire fiction, protagonists are often referred to as heroic antagonists or living dead people, thus making use of contradictory terms which underline their oxymoronic nature, implying that they are endowed with a particular centrality while underlining their subversive nature at the same time.
In this respect, in vampire narratives, there is always a special concern not to trust appearances, as the physique of the vampire is by nature necessarily deceitful and its body matches neither its inward nature nor its actual age.
Similarly, before the nineteenth-century, coming to terms with an individual's age was not an easy matter. A person was often considered old only when exhibiting behaviour that betrayed both physical and mental failure, or when the person's physical appearance simply looked old.
As a matter of fact, those authorities responsible for deciding when to give aid to the elderly, as was the case with the Poor Law Guardians, did not label anyone according to their chronological age alone. Instead, as Teresa Mangum asserts, individuals were assumed to be ageing when they manifested a set of conditions such as behavioural infirmity and physical deterioration.
In this respect, Helen Small has also noticed the disparity existing between chronological age and the individual's physical conditions or their consciousness of the process of ageing, which is a basic feature which often characterises the literary vampire, claiming that "the age we feel is not necessarily the same as our calendrical age, nor is it the same as how we are perceived, or how we register ourselves being perceived by others."
As a result, medical studies began to focus on specific signs that would aid in categorising somebody as past his or her prime.
In his volume 'Disciplining Old Age: The Formation of Gerontological Knowledge' (1996), Steven Theodore Katz examines the impact of medical studies on the perceptions of old age in the Victorian period and considers how they paved the ground for the establishment of geriatrics and gerontology at the beginning of the twentieth-century.
The body gradually became fixed through the description of a set of biological signs that would ultimately be considered as indicators of health or deterioration. In this respect, medical approaches usually entertained two contradictory perceptions of how old age befell.
According to the so-called vitality model, old age was perceived as the gradual oozing away of limited energy and ability, and conversely, another theoretical model argued that old age emerged suddenly as a result of a grand climacteric, which implied physical collapse, loss of sexual identity and mental deviance.
This dichotomy between gradual or sudden transformation also features in fictional accounts of the vampire's process of coming into being, which varies from a gradual transition such as in the loss of innocence and initiation into vampirism of formerly angels of the house like Lucy in Abraham Stoker's 'Dracula' or Laura in Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu's 'Carmilla,' to the almost instantaneous transformation of the living to the living dead, following baptism by another vampire such as in Anne Rice's 'Interview with the Vampire,' as Louis is transformed by Lestat de Lioncourt, and thus, Louis transforms Claudia into a vampire child.
Likewise, men and women were deemed old according to different criteria. Men were often perceived as old in relation to their ability to work, whereas women were considered old according to their reproductive capability rather than their productive potential.
Likewise, in vampire fiction, male and female vampires come into being into their new existence as a result of different conditions. Male vampires are often transformed so as to help other male vampires and increase their number and their power, while female vampires are often transformed when they gain insight into their own sexuality and thus become fallen women.
In Anne Rice's 'Interview with the Vampire,' Lestat de Lioncourt, Louis and Claudia travel to Paris where they meet Armand, the leader of a gang of European vampires.
Conversely, early poems and short pieces in the vampire tradition already portrayed female vampires as temptresses. As cases in point, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's 'Die Freundin von Corinth' ('The Bride of Corinth,' 1797), Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 'Christabel' (1797-1800), and Pierre Juler Théophile Gautier's 'La Morte Amoureuse' ('The Dead in Love,' 1836) are early exponents of women's overt sexuality enthralling young men.
Women making advances towards men had necessarily to be depicted as female vampires and thus fallen women trespassing moral boundaries that were banned to pious and virtuous angels of the house in Victorian times.
From a sociological perspective, the focus of attention on ageing in Victorian times seemed to respond to the fact that birth rates began to drop while the population of those who were over forty began to rise significantly.
Even though life expectancy did not really increase during the Victorian period, the growing number of aged people began to attract unprecedented attention in the news, the government, the medical profession, and especially literature, thus creating a false impression that the United Kingdom was growing old.
In this sense, as Teresa Mangum asserts, ageing and the aged can be interpreted as an eminently Victorian media event.
However, this overwhelming feeling that the nation was growing old also contributed to shaping an ongoing discourse of ageism at the time.
The elderly were perceived as past the age when society accepted dependency on individuals, and thus the aged began to be held in contempt for a period especially characterised by progress, production, initiative, scientific breakthroughs and imperial expansion.
It was a time mostly characterised by change and speed; values that have been traditionally associated with youth as opposed to old age. Moreover, changes in legislation in the 1870s reduced pensions and pressured families to take care of their elders through private initiatives.
As Teresa Mangum argues, "changes in the law harshly cut back pensions, coerced families to care of older members, and pressured old people to support themselves."
Likewise, cultural ideas at the time such as Thomas Robert Malthus' theory concerning population growth, Samuel Smiles' volume promoting individuals' self-help or Charles Robert Darwin's evolutionary theories, contributed to an echoing Victorian discourse of the old as eventually sucking the blood of their young relatives, and by extension, of the whole nation, to draw a parallel with the literary vampire figure again.

Quick Brown Box Coffee Roasters
In conversation with Vaibhav, founder of Quick Brown Fox
Tell us something about QBF (What Inspired you to start, how was the journey so far)?
My journey with coffee started with a lot of curiosity. Many years ago, my go-to coffee was a cappuccino and I wanted to make a cafe-quality cappuccino at home. I started experimenting with an Aeropress and a Moka Pot to replicate an espresso shot, and a battery-operated milk frother to texture the milk and failed miserably. Somewhere down the line I developed a taste for manually brewed black coffees and bought myself a hand grinder and a V60. This is also when I developed a liking to light roasts. I started reading up a lot of coffee, and, in early 2016, I remember opening Wikipedia to look at different types of coffee roasters (machines). Back then, there were a few challenges:
1. Profile Roasting information was not easily and readily available. Especially how to approach a roast based on the coffee type, processing etc. and modulating the flavour of coffee by making changes to the profile.
2. This might sound a little hard to believe today, but, information regarding good coffee plantations was not easily available. Today, a lot of coffee growers have a social media presence, but back then, I remember going through 6-10 years of Fine Cup Award winner lists and finding names that would regularly show up. In most cases, the contact information was just a landline number.
3. I decided to opt for some courses, but all SCAA and SCAE courses back then involved a lot of foreign travel that needed to be done repeatedly and would only cover one topic in one go.
This is when I discovered Kaapi Shastra by our Coffee Board. By the time I went for this one week course to Bangalore in mid-2016, I had already spoken to a few plantations and fixed visits for December. I had also done a lot of reading and watched a lot of videos on coffee, coffee cupping and coffee roasting and I left for Kaapi Shastra with 3 main goals:
1. Sitting in North India, we don't get to see green coffee. I wanted to understand green coffee.
2. I wanted to develop sensory skills.
3. I had a lot of profile roasting questions.
Only #1 was fulfilled to my satisfaction.
Leading up to December I had discovered good starting points to understand roasting techniques and during the plantation visits later, I got to see everything I had read about in the last few months with regards to coffee harvesting and processing. This also reminds me, back then, only floats were used to process naturals and this "cherry" coffee would be sold at a low price. Fast forward today, so many planters are using their best coffee with the highest Brix to process as naturals.
In 2017, we received our roaster and started roasting 6 types of coffees from a small room. Our goal from day one was to only source and roast speciality coffee. The big challenge then was to find cafes that would buy our coffee. A lot of cafes did not understand speciality coffee and were not willing to pay the price for it. A lot of others only wanted dark roasts and were not open to understanding modern brewing techniques. They never understood why they should use a medium roast and use 18gms when they could use 7gm of a dark roast coffee. There was also loyalty towards existing suppliers but that is present across all industries.
Later in 2017, I visited Japan during the Tokyo coffee festival. I also had a chance to interact and roast with many roasters across the country. My roasting has always been heavily inspired by the Japanse and Nordic style of roasting because that is the kind of coffee I like to drink. By the time I got back, I knew it was the right time to shift the roaster and open a cafe. This is when the Dhan Mill project came about and was finally opened in 2018 end. You may not know this, but, back in 2016, when I was planning to go for Kaapi Shatra, I had already visited Dhan Mill and chosen this spot! However, later, I decided to concentrate on roasting for some time and then open a cafe at a later stage.
What were your main challenges when you started out as a coffee roaster? What did you do to overcome these challenges?
Opening the cafe gave our brand a big push. We started getting a lot of enquiries and this helped our B2B and B2C business tremendously. In 2019, while sourcing coffees, we knew that we could not out price a lot of other roasters and made a conscious decision to only source the best coffee and sell them at a fair price. Frankly, nothing gives me more joy than roasting the best coffees that we can get our hands-on. Over the years, we have developed good relations with a lot of plantations and are now slowly getting more involved with the harvesting and processing side.
If you can go back in time, what would you like to change?
If I could go back in time, I would probably buy a different roaster.
How has Covid-19 Impacted your business?
COVID19 has impacted us tremendously from all sides. Our B2B wholesale account sales are negligible. Our cafe is shut. We have however seen a huge growth in our online business.
In terms of contributing to the farming industry, our relationship has grown from a buyer-seller relationship to a far more involved one. We have been involved in cupping and evaluating coffees along with giving valuable feedback through the year. This year, we plan to have certain lots specially processed for us in a certain way. We also have many small lot launches planned through the year involving different techniques and processes.
As a homebrewer, how can one Support local roaster?
Homebrewing is a growing market, but there is still a lot to be done in terms of customer education. Educating coffee drinkers on good, freshly roasted coffee has a direct impact on local roasters' businesses. Homebrewers who understand these things are already supporting the local roasting community.

In the spring while not on any trail, hidden hundreds of yards from view, few people knew the rolling hills of bluebells. The first time catching my breath happening upon them. Acres upon acres of undisturbed bluish-purple English bluebells purposefully hidden from view, not to be disturbed, their brief elusive moment when in full bloom. Pepper, always leading and slightly shorter than the perennials, would be lost had it not been for the shaking flower bulbs consuming him as we carefully navigated through the masterpiece. Breathtaking and amusing, both at the same time.
"Oblivious at the time, had no idea what had happened, nor had I noticed the bullet hole having entered his body penetrating his back and into his spine. His red hair masking the blood around the entry. Faintly, I recall mom coming out of the house suggesting that he had been shot, probably a farmer's bullet from a .22 long. Any larger caliber would certainly have killed him."
We would come upon dried up streams, only a puddle left with dozens of fish squirming and fighting to survive in little pools of water. As if he understood, Pepper, crouched over scratching the dirt watching intently while I scooped as many as possible into an old milk jug bringing them to a larger stream in effort they survive. Regularly, we would stumble across carcasses of various animals that had died for unfortunate reasons, be it age, the elements, or injury. On other occasions witness herds of mule deer grazing off the forest bed, their bodies half consumed by hazy mistiness from fog over the lush green forest bed, the scene photogenic. On Sunny days, penetrating the highest of trees, streams of brilliant rainbow light beams filled with pigments and particles of dust dancing in the brilliance from 100 feet up. Trees, undoubtedly a century old as round and broad as a car at the trunk with curvatures and deep wood crevices inches deep. I would find myself mesmerized by these most mundane observations it seemed, had I not understood the verity of where my life was at the time.

Doris Regina Booth  (1 October 1895 – 4 November 1970) was an Australian nurse and goldminer. She was the first female member of the Legislative Council of Papua and New Guinea.

Biography
Booth was born to Henry Wilde and Minna Gerler in South Brisbane in 1895. Following her school education she started work at Brisbane General Hospital as a trainee nurse. She left her job after marrying Charles Booth on 14 May 1919. The couple lived in Mitchell for a year, after which they moved to the Territory of New Guinea when her husband was appointed manager of a plantation near Kokopo.

In 1924 Booth and her husband moved to Bulolo to prospect for gold. After securing a lease, Booth ran it whilst her husband started prospecting at Edie Creek. She set up a bush hospital in September 1926 following a dysentery epidemic, running it until January 1927; this led to her being appointed an OBE in the 1929 Birthday Honours. Between 1927 and 1929 Booth returned to live in Australia to recover from Malaria, publishing a book about her experiences under the title Mountain Gold and Cannibals. She then went back to New Guinea and left her husband in 1932; the two divorced in 1934.

After a successful spell running a mine, Booth returned to Brisbane again in 1938 and worked for the Mothercraft Association. She subsequently returned to New Guinea and was appointed to the new Legislative Council of Papua and New Guinea in 1951, serving as its sole female member until 1957.

In 1960 Booth returned to Australia and worked as a volunteer for the Methodist Blue Nursing Service. She died at the St Andrews War Memorial Hospital in 1970.

Synopsis: This table has a round top that pivots on two pins so it can be brought vertical and stored against a wall. Commonly known as a wine-tasting table, this design was inspired by a piece from the late 1700s, but Will Myers gave it some modern touches—a larger top, a more modern shape to the feet—and used cherry instead of the traditional pine. Construction is not difficult, and the entire project can be made using hand tools if you desire.
I found the inspiration for this table inside one of the handsome brick buildings of Tryon Palace in New Bern, N.C. Built as the residence and headquarters of North Carolina's British governor in 1770, Tryon Palace was seized by American forces in 1775 and served as the state capitol until 1794. Destroyed by fire in 1798, the palace was rebuilt to the original plans in the 1950s, and fitted with furniture appropriate to the period. The table that caught my eye was in the palace's kitchen building.
Commonly called a wine-tasting table, it has a round top that pivots on two pins so that it can be brought vertical and stored against a wall. There is a swing arm that looks like an inverted A in the frame that spins out to support the top when it's swung down for use, and rotates back flush with the frame when the top is up for storage.
The table I'll show you how to make here is slightly different from the one at Tryon Palace. It has a larger top, and I've given the feet a modern shape. Also, the original was made from pine, perhaps chosen because its light weight would make it easier to move around. I've opted for cherry instead. This table isn't very large, and cherry isn't terribly heavy, so the extra weight won't be an issue.
This isn't a difficult table to make, and it's a great project for hand tools. I cut all the joinery by hand, and after milling, it took just a couple of days to make the table. It's a handy table to have in the house. It doesn't take up much floor space when not in use, and it is ready to seat four in a quick minute when company shows up.
Beneath the table's round top is a rectangular frame that consists of two legs and two stretchers. You can make the feet at the same time that you make the frame, but don't attach them until right before you add the top. They'll just be in the way as you make and install the swing arm.
Because I cut all of the joinery with hand tools, I carefully lay out joint locations with paired parts, such as the legs, clamped together. After laying out all of the joinery, I chop the mortises with a chisel and mallet. I use the same technique for the slot of the bridle joint at the top of the leg. However, the through-mortises in the feet are better done by first drilling out the waste with a brace and bit, and then squaring them with a chisel.
Cut the tenons next. After they're done, dry-fit the legs and stretchers. The top stretcher must be rounded over so that the top can pivot, so assemble the frame, clamp it in your bench vise, and lay out the half circle with a compass. Pull the frame apart and rough out the roundover. On the top of the legs, I use a chisel and mallet to remove most of the waste, and then refine the curve by paring to the layout lines. For the top stretcher, I use a jack plane to round the top edge roughly at this point.
Now glue the frame together. After the glue has dried, clamp the frame in your bench vise and refine the roundover on the top stretcher. It doesn't need to be perfect to work well, but I get the facets as small as I can, and then run some sandpaper over the surface to remove them.
Will Myers makes furniture in Hamptonville, N.C., and teaches hand-tool woodworking at The Woodwright's School in Pittsboro, N.C.
Yes. That measurement is with the tenon. Sometimes, when appropriate we will use shoulder-to-shoulder measurements, but those will be labeled.
I have a rookie question. On the drawing, pg 62, he indicates length dimensions. For example, the legs are 28 1/2". Does that length include the tenon length? A little math indicated it does, but wanted to be sure before I cut this expensive wood!
Page three of the PDF shows you everything you would need to build the table.
Agree, the title clearly says 'free plan', but they are not free!
Although the table is quite interesting, I can't take my eyes of Will's bench on page 61. Any chance Will would let us see more of that beauty?
Those are the full-size printed plans.
If the plans are free why is there a link to the store where you have to pay $12.95 to get them?
You don't have to use bent lamination when making a curved table apron. Instead, you can rely on a technique that's been used for centuries: Make a brick-laid, circular core and veneer it.


Q. Why choose a Specialist in Orthodontics to do your braces or Invisalign?
A. Orthodontists have received extensive training beyond general dentists in the best ways to straighten teeth and align bites. They have completed all the training of general dentists plus an additional 2-3 years of training through an accredited orthodontic residency program. Orthodontic Specialists are equipped with the knowledge and experience to properly diagnose and treat your smile.
In Dr. Randolph's case, in addition to her training as a Specialist in Orthodontics, she taught at a dental school and completed a general practice hospital residency program.
Q. At what age should my child see an Orthodontist?
A. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening for children between the ages of 7 and 9, when they are getting their first permanent teeth. If any significant orthodontic problems are present or developing, it may best to address them with and early interceptive treatment referred to as "Phase l".
A. No patient is "too old" to wear braces or Invisalign! Orthodontic treatment can improve your smile and dental health at any age. About one-third of Dr. Randolph's patients are adults. Health and happiness are vitally important to adults, and orthodontic treatment can increase your self-esteem at any age!
A. Typically, full treatment lasts 12-24 months. The actual treatment time varies depending on your age, your cooperation, the health of your teeth, and the severity of correction necessary. Dr. Randolph can give you a specific estimate during your initial, free consultation.
Q. How often will appointments be?
A. In general, you will need to visit the office every 8 to 10 weeks. When conditions require more frequent attention, appointments will be scheduled accordingly.
Q. What happens during regular office visits?
A. At each regular visit, Dr. Randolph evaluates your progress and determines what procedures should be performed to advance your treatment. Patients in braces might need their archwires and elastics changed or adjusted. For patients in Invisalign, we'll assess your current aligners and issue new ones. At the end of each appointment, Dr. Randolph personally reviews the completed work, assures patient comfort, and answers any questions from the patient or parents.
Q. Can I schedule my appointments after school?
A. Yes. The majority of regular appointments can be scheduled after school. It's usually the busiest time in our office, so if you can conveniently schedule at other times, we encourage you to do so.
At the end of each appointment, Dr. Randolph will determine the number of weeks before you should return. We recommend you book your next appointment at the end of each appointment, so you get first pick of the days and times available. We schedule about 10 weeks in advance, and afternoon appointments go fast!
A. Sometimes, your teeth may be sore for a few days after orthodontic appointments. In these situations, over-the-counter pain medications, such as Advil or Tylenol, will ease the discomfort.
Q. Can I still play sports or play my musical instrument while wearing braces?
A. Yes! We do recommend that you wear a mouth guard while playing sports. Woodwind and brass musicians may experience a short adjustment period before they are comfortable playing their instrument while wearing braces.
A. Yes! Regular six-month check-ups with your general dentist are more important than ever. Sometimes, you may need to see your dentist more often. We are happy to remove wires for our patients prior to cleaning appointments to make it easier for the dentist or hygienist to do a great job.
Q. What is considered an orthodontic emergency? How are they handled?
A. Anything that causes you unexpected pain is an emergency, and you should call us about it. This includes accidental trauma to your mouth, or when archwires or other orthodontic appliances become embedded in cheeks or gums. It does not include normal soreness, which you can treat with Advil or Tylenol, or cheek irritations, which you can avoid by putting wax over the offending brace and treat with a salt-water rinse.
If you have a painful emergency, we want you to come into the office so we can make you comfortable. If the office is closed, please call our voicemail, which provides the phone numbers of the doctor and our assistants. They are available to respond to your calls between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. daily.

How Many Rings Are Too Many?
Rings are all about memories. They illustrate moments in your life, meaningful and memorable- an engagement, a special birthday celebration, a souvenir from a trip. Mix textures, metals, and stones by stacking your old favorites with new. Don't forget midi rings (knuckle rings). They fit best when worn on your middle or ring finger. If you have an extra special piece, let it stand alone. Put a heavy stack on one to two fingers per hand. And don't forget about your pinky, it's the perfect place for a solitaire stone or a thin band.

Advice from three Atlassian engineering managers
The way to the top is never easy, but the journey is often more difficult for women. Three women engineering leaders from Atlassian talk about how women can navigate their way through biases and stereotypes to make a mark for themselves in the tech industry.
A recent estimate by the World Economic Forum predicted that it will take 257 years to close the employment gender gap across all industries. Given tech's notoriously male-dominated culture, it may be long before women engineers see any gender parity. But, because we don't have two and a half centuries to wait, we spoke to three engineering leaders from Atlassian about what they will advise women forging careers in STEM fields.
Engineering managers Chanda Sethia, SV Sindhu, and Vishakha Vaidya understand the importance of mentors, why authenticity is crucial, how to speak up—and when to say "no." Through developing their careers and confidence, their invaluable contributions helped Atlassian shape a thriving culture of female leadership.
Here's what Chanda, Sindhu, and Vishakha had to say about succeeding as women in the technology sector:
1. When people say you can't do something, don't listen.
Even with global education initiatives that level the STEM playing field, perceptions that men are somehow better in math and science are all too common. The great news is that you don't have to listen to these outdated stereotypes.
Sindhu says that women should follow their own interests and ignore antiquated societal norms and biases. "There's an idea that men naturally tend to go toward engineering, and when I went to college, the ratio was really skewed. It's scary to study engineering as a female, but once I got into it and began to understand its beauty, there was no stopping me."
Even so, there were structural roadblocks to Sindhu's success as an engineer. "When I was studying at university, boys could stay all night in the labs, but the girls had to leave by 8:30 p.m., sharp," she says. "I learned that to really shine among all those boys, you have to constantly fight for what you want."
Chanda had a similar experience. "As a child, I was always drawn to solving puzzles and understanding how things work. I was keen to learn more about math and science, but I wasn't always encouraged. When I graduated in 2003, there was little focus on women in engineering, and there was a lack of mentoring. I had to seek it out."

2. Find a good mentor.
As a woman in engineering, you may not have chosen the easiest path—but you don't have to go through it alone, and you can always ask for support. Connecting with the right leaders can open doors to learning and opportunities, including the chance to mentor the women who follow your footsteps.
"It's always been hard for me to approach somebody and ask for an opportunity," says Vishakha. "It helps when my managers are open to feedback, and when they're interested in what I have to say. I can feel comfortable talking about my interests without the fear of being judged."
Sindhu agrees that supportive managers make all the difference. "I was lucky that when I came to Atlassian, I had a manager who saw my potential," she says. "I was hesitant at first, because of previous experiences at other companies. But my manager said, 'Stop staying in your cocoon. Just go ahead and do it, because I know you can.' That's when I got my confidence back.
"There's definitely more women here than any other place I've worked," says Sindhu.
3. Value your worth—and learn to say "no."
There's a fine line between being humble and underselling your talent and achievements. Owning your skills and potential doesn't mean you're done learning—it means you know where you are, and where you'd like to go.
"We underestimate ourselves all the time and we don't give ourselves credit. Even today, if somebody praises me, I feel very awkward, and I will say, 'Oh, it is because of this person, or because of that person,' even if I worked hard on that project. I'm still trying to change this habit," says Vishakha.
Sindhu adds that part of valuing yourself means not agreeing to every request that comes your way. "As a woman, we are generally just givers," says Sindhu. "Opportunities used to come up and I'd say, 'I'll take it, I'll take it.' But then I had absolutely no work-life balance. After learning to say 'no,' my life has become so much better. I can thank one of my mentors at Atlassian for teaching me that skill. She told me, 'Why are you scared? Just say no. Say it in your style, but you have to say no.' That was probably the best advice I've gotten so far."
"We underestimate ourselves all the time," says Vishakha, "and we don't give ourselves credit. Even today, if somebody praises me, I feel very awkward, and I will say, 'Oh, it is because of this person, or because of that person,' even if I worked hard on that project. I'm still trying to change that aspect of myself."
4. Be a lifelong learner.
Even as you grow into a leadership role, keep following the curiosity that got you here. Continue asking questions and be open to new perspectives. The more you learn, the more you can pass along.
"I believe in learning on the job," says Chanda. "I am a person who wants to get my hands dirty and explore and innovate and, then learn from there." Atlassian, Chanda adds, emphasises growth at every level. "As a manager, it's my core responsibility to make sure I grow, and that my team grows along with me."
Vishakha credits her managers along the way for encouraging her to test out new roles and learn new skills. "I had a lot of lateral interests," she explains. "Different technologies, different roles. I've gone from engineering, to product management, to sales support, to marketing. I was given small projects and chances to contribute and test my skills. Trying out new areas gave me a lot of motivation to keep on learning and exploring," Vishakha explains.
Sindhu transitioned to a manager role at Atlassian, and says that what she learned during Atlassian's three-month Apprentice Manager Programme gave her the confidence to lead. "It's like a mini-MBA. You're learning from the experiences of people in your industry; you have your own coach. And every week during the programme, our senior leaders checked in to see how we were doing. It was so refreshing."
5. Be true to yourself, and speak up.
Tech culture sometimes asks the impossible of women: They are told to be assertive and demanding, yet gentle and demure. But what matters most isn't what other people expect—it's what you expect of yourself. By holding true to your talents and personality, and by speaking up—yes, sometimes loudly—you can build your own path to success.
Learning how to speak up has been a long journey for Vishakha. "I'm fundamentally a quiet person," she says. "I don't like to talk too much, and I avoid conflicts and arguments. Early on, somebody told me that I lacked confidence. So, I started to prepare thoroughly for every meeting. I learned that when I did my homework, I was able to explain what I was thinking and voice my opinion."
"You get a lot of feedback along the way," says Vishakha. "What I've learned is that it's not right to change your personality traits. There are skills that you acquire, and there are personality traits that you nurture. It's important to hold on to who you are at your core."
She notes that authenticity is invaluable for a leader, which she realised when she had the chance to speak with former Army Chief General Bikram Singh while getting her MBA. "I asked him how he motivated people to go fight for the nation. And it wasn't what he said that was important. It was the way he spoke that gave you the feeling of wanting to do anything that he said. It was his authenticity that made you trust him."
Chanda points out that part of being a good manager is helping employees to find their own authenticity. "It's not about giving solutions or making decisions on their behalf," she says. "It's about guiding them to their own answers.
6. Find the right company.
No matter where you are in your career, you're no doubt looking to learn and grow, to feel challenged and supported, to stand out and yet know that you belong. Chanda, Sindhu, and Vishakha have all found these opportunities at Atlassian.
"It's important to be in an environment that helps you shine," Chanda says. "The managers at Atlassian care about who you are, and they help to identify your innate abilities. This allows you to really focus on your strengths. As a manager myself, it's my core responsibility to make sure I grow and that my team grows along with me."
Atlassian is especially supportive of women, says Sindhu. "There's a culture of female leadership here," she says. "So, you don't have to work twice as hard as you do at companies where the managers are all men. You don't have to do extra work to show that you're worth it."
Vishakha appreciates that Atlassian doesn't just say they want you to succeed—they act on it, with a clear structure and tangible goals. "They provide a step-by-step approach, and you don't get overwhelmed by what you have to do," she says. And she's committed to helping provide similar paths to success for other women. "When I started my career back in the late '90s, there were no women role models. That's why I've worked to become one for the women who're starting out now. Whatever I learn, I try to pay it forward."

Pioline about to retire?
tennischick
Pioline Calls It Quits, Maybe for Good
By LYNN ZINSER
By its third agonizing set, Cédric Pioline's first-round qualifying match for the United States Open yesterday had morphed into his most dreaded nightmare. For a few minutes, he stood with his hands on his hips, watching the planes ascending from La Guardia. For a game, he stopped swinging at his opponent's serves. After losing his own serve one last time, he launched a tennis ball several courts away.
And by the time he was down by 0-5, the indignity of it all grew overwhelming. Pioline stormed off the court without playing the final game, pinning a "retired" tag at the end of his 3-6, 6-2, 5-0 loss to the little-known Marco Chiudinelli. Afterward, still battling the frustration, Pioline said he was considering putting a retired tag on his once-brilliant career.
"When you play like this, it's difficult," Pioline said. "You think maybe you can play much better, but it's not there. The tough thing is, when I practice, I play much better. Maybe during the matches I don't have enough confidence. It's tough to play that way."
From his misery on Court 7, Pioline, who is 33, could look up at Arthur Ashe Stadium at the National Tennis Center, where as recently as 1999 spectators watched him make the Open semifinals. He finished that year ranked 13th, and his having made the finals of the Open in '93 and Wimbledon in '97 — both loses to Pete Sampras — was still recent enough to make him feel as if his best was yet to come.
A broken left hand in 2000, though, started Pioline's fall, which has landed him at No. 119, too low for a spot in the Open's main draw. He had made it into the French Open and Wimbledon fields this year, losing in the first round of each. When his request for a wild card here was denied, he considered going home.
"Since I broke my hand, I haven't been the same," said Pioline, who plays right-handed. "I was top 10. Since that time, I never really came back. I couldn't find the way to get my tennis back."
Pioline, who is French, lives in Switzerland, but even he hadn't heard of Chiudinelli, who is Swiss. And what Pioline didn't know, he probably didn't want to know. Chiudinelli, a 20-year-old who has been playing professional tournaments since 1997, has $34,000 in career earnings, compared with Pioline's $6.8 million, and has only this year begun earning invitations to the qualifying round of Grand Slams. This was the first of those matches he had won.
When Chiudinelli saw he had drawn Pioline, he responded with a combination of disappointment and awe. Chiudinelli had been a ball boy at a tournament in his hometown, Basel, and had once chased balls at one of Pioline's matches.
"I didn't know I could beat him," Chiudinelli said. "I went on the court at the beginning with big respect because he was a great player. This is one of the first big tournaments for me, so I'm not very confident."
In contrast to the dark, brooding Pioline on one side of the net, Chiudinelli was the picture of youth and spunk, his blond ponytail bouncing behind him. Chiudinelli was playing well enough to be disappointed when Pioline used a late break to win the first set.
Chiudinelli bounced back, held serve and held on while Pioline began spraying errors everywhere. Pioline's fragile focus finally broke for good in the third set when he dumped two shots into the net to lose his first service game.
"I broke him and he started to give it away; I don't know why," Chiudinelli said. "He was one of the biggest players the last 10 years. I was looking up to him always."
By yesterday afternoon, Chiudinelli saw him from a new angle: watching Pioline's back as he strode away from Court 7, maybe for good.
"I cannot play forever," Pioline said, shrugging one last time.
ny times online
i will miss him. i last saw Pioline beat Linus Rusedski in a thrilling 5-setter at the USO a couple of years ago. i was so vocal in my support of Cedric that i actually managed to get his attention!
Q. When you've played as few matches as you have over the last two, three months, did you ever lack motivation to go out and practice?
ANDY RODDICK: Motivation? No. I enjoy what I do. I enjoy what I do. You know, I've never been one to, you know, blow off practice or, you know, do anything like that.
You know, I'd be lying if I said I'm looking forward to practicing the next two days as opposed to playing here. That part is gonna suck...(2010 Aegon Championships) :devil: :angel:
TennisHack
That's so sad :sad: Cedric has accomplished so much in his career. It's not fun to watch a player at the end of his confidence and his rope. I wouldn't want anyone to go out like this . . .
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Tennis Refuge
:sad: You will be missed, Michel Kratochvil! :sad:
Cedric :sad:
I read something on the USOpen site. Very bad that he lost all the confidence in himself. Its not a good way of going out, but I will always remember him on his memorable matches. The last one I cant remember was his win over Guga UsOpen 1999.

Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry of covalent adducts of proteins and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, a reactive end-product of lipid peroxidation
Navin Rauniyar, Stanley M. Stevens, Laszlo Prokai
Covalent adduction of the model protein apomyoglobin by 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, a reactive end-product of lipid peroxidation, was characterized by nanoelectrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR). The high mass resolving power and mass measurement accuracy of the instrument facilitated a detailed compositional analysis of the complex reaction product without the need for deconvolution and transformation to clearly show the pattern of adduction and component molecular weights. Our study has also demonstrated the value of electron capture dissociation over collision-induced dissociation for the tandem mass spectrometric determination of site modification for the 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal adduct of oxidized insulin B chain as an example.

Q: Viewing individual commits after squashing I noticed that after I squashed a bunch of commits in Git I am able to still view the individual commits. One of the commits that got squashed with all the others was a revert with the commit message referencing the hash of the commit that it reverted. Doing a git show on this hash shows me the exact content of this commit. This commit is nowhere in my history since it's been squashed into one commit.
How is this possible? Is this still lying around somewhere in the DAG? Will it eventually be garbage collected by Git when things like git gc are run?

A: Yes: whenever you do almost anything in Git, you are really adding new objects (commits and files and such) to the repository, leaving existing objects in place.  The main exception is git gc, but even that leaves existing objects alone until they expire.
The exact expiration is a bit complicated.  All objects normally live for at least two weeks, just so that they will not be removed during slow operations (that might take seconds or even minutes, during which the objects are not recorded anywhere).
Beyond that, object IDs (primarily commit IDs) written into references—such as commits on branches, or recorded in HEAD—normally also get written into a per-branch reflog (there's a separate log for HEAD).  These are time-stamped when they are written, and such entries live for either 30 days or 90 days by default.  The ones that live longer are those that are reachable from the tip of the reference: that is, for HEAD, commits that are still in the history of HEAD, and for branches, commits that are still on the branch.  The shorter-lived, 30 day expiration, commits are those no longer on the branch (having been rebased and/or squashed, for instance).
These reflog entries serve to protect the objects from the Grim Reaper Collector.  So this means that your old commit will be around for 30 days, not just the 14 days that everything gets.
Deleting a reference, e.g., git branch -D branch, causes its reflog to be removed as well.  So if the reflog entry is only in a branch that has been deleted, the grace period may shrink back to 14 days from the object's creation.
Rebased commits are still referenced by the special name ORIG_HEAD as well, until something (usually another rebase) overwrites ORIG_HEAD.  So this may protect commits well past the 30 day default.
Until git gc actually runs and removes an object, though, it will stick around.  It generally will not get copied to clones, but it will potentially still be in your repository, accessible, for years, if git gc never needs to run.

In the first experiment, 27 volunteers attempted to reproduce the correct amount of needle resistance, based on their experience with IV-needle insertion. The group's experience with IV insertion varied widely, ranging from none to more than 3,000 procedures performed. In the second experiment, 28 volunteers interacted with the simulator while the delay between the visual and haptic feedback of needle penetration was varied.
Our experiments showed that an individual's ability to consistently recall a specific haptic experience (in this case, the appropriate amount of force experienced during IV insertion) varied widely. Moreover, it had no correlation with the individual's experience. We were also able to show that 99% of those tested were unable to perceive haptic/visual latencies of at least 54 milliseconds. While intriguing, further experiments are necessary to fully explore the implications suggested by our initial results.

WinSCP 5.1 released
by Martin Brinkmann on September 24, 2012 in Software, Windows - Last Update: September 24, 2012 - 10 comments
WinSCP is a popular sftp, scp and ftp client for the Windows operating system. I have been using the program in the past years to connect to various servers and sites that I own or administrate. The program makes available an easy to use dual-pane interface that is ideal for transferring files from the local system to the server and vice versa.WinSCP is well integrated into the Windows operating system, supporting drag and drop and other file operations among other things.
System and network administrators can make use of the advanced feature set that it makes available, including batch file scripting, directory synchronization and public key authentication.
The developers of WinSCP have released WinSCP 5.1 today, a big jump from the last stable version 4.3.9 of the application. The new version introduces several new and improved features to the program, including:
Unicode/UTF8 support.
Tab selector for sessions.
Support for taskbar jump list on Windows 7.
Support for MLSD/MLST FTP commands.
.NET assembly built around WinSCP scripting interface.
A full list of changes is available on the history page over at WinSCP.net. Please note that the majority of features, changes and bug fixes have found their way into the program in one of the beta and release candidate builds that have been available in the past months.
The latest version of the file transfer application is available for download at the project website. The software is compatible with all recent versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system. Please note that it is available as a portable and setup on the page. The source code is available as well.
Existing users can upgrade the program, use the portable version or install the program in another location on the hard drive. If you have saved sessions in the WinSCP.ini file, I suggest you backup the file before you do that though to be on the safe side of things.

Updated, one of my faves. One of the most stable ones of its kind in my experience.
Martin Brinkmann said on September 24, 2012 at 6:06 pm
Yeah I never looked back after discovering this gem.
Trisha P. said on September 24, 2012 at 6:21 pm
I was using FileZilla for years and nothing wrong about it. But I have to say WinSCP is even better. BTW, you forgot to hide user name in the second position of the screenshot :)
Thanks corrected.

At the beginning of article you say 'I have been using the program in the past
years to connect to various servers and sites that I own or
administrate.' Could you let me know which sites apart from gHacks do you own or administrate ? So that i could follow them as well ?
Martin Brinkmann said on September 25, 2012 at 8:56 am
Praveen, I do not think you'd be interested in most of them. The sites that may interest you are loginhelper.com and atechgirlslife.com.
Threshold said on October 2, 2012 at 12:01 pm
Hi Martin, dumb question probably, but how do you launch the gui without necessarily saving\logging into a server\site?
I get this login screen but I just want to have a look at the gui first.
Martin Brinkmann said on October 2, 2012 at 1:35 pm
I suggest you us a dummy account, e.g. http://ftp.mozilla.org, port 21, anonymous. Not sure if there is a way to look at the interface without having an account set up first.
Threshold said on October 2, 2012 at 2:40 pm
Thanks Martin it worked.
Still I find it totally absurd that you cannot reach the interface without logging on a site for such a praised software.

Q: Memory leaks when using complex data structures (array of array of array of vector) I have a complex data structure defined as:
array<array<array<vector<arc>, 2>, n_ports + 2>, n_times> destinations;

where array and vector are short for std::array and std::vector, n_ports and n_times are unsigned ints and arc is a struct:
struct node { uint port; bool pickup; uint time; };
struct arc { node destination; float cost; };

Basically, to a triple (i,j,k) where 0 <= i < n_times, 0 <= j < n_ports+2, 0 <= k < 2, I associate a vector of arcs, whose dimension I cannot know a priori.
These vectors are not created sequentially, nor are their elements push_back'ed sequentially.
The problem I have is that I find myself with many more arcs than there should be and I suspect that these are vestiges of arcs created earlier and then moved (or copied?) somewhere else when a vector had to be resized.
Here is the most minimal example of what I'm doing that I managed to create, starting from what I am actually working on, that displays the problem.
Any help is appreciated. Am I using the wrong data structure? Should I clean something up after myself? etc.

A: The problem is that you got the time and port indices backwards. Your arrays are sized with n_times for the port index and n_ports + 2 for the time index. This is probably leading to an out of bounds array access somewhere.
Remember, std::array is a lot nicer than raw arrays, but it still won't do bounds checking unless you use at().

A: The std::array does not check for index out of bounds, which is why the code is having memory leaks when you have the port and time indices backwards.

Somatic Experiencing and Natural Horsemanship
Boss, a retired 21-year-old registered quarterhorse, who gave his whole heart successfully chasing steer down a roping arena, is healing wounded souls determined to recover from their eating disorders at The Meadows Ranch LIFE Program. This special horse, along with a herd of other retired horses "holds the space" for patients to somatically experience the sensation of trust, many for the first time in their lives.
Colleen DeRango, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Equine Specialist, says, "When trust is restored, it becomes the pathway to hope. When hope is experienced, a life is transformed." Colleen describes her job as a privilege and brags that her "staff" of horses is "the most gifted healers of all."
"Like tuning forks, their no-nonsense, solid, here-and-now-fully-present 'being' allows patients to experience the same," Colleen says. "The horses don't look at the patients' leg-gap, or body size, nor judge their emotional struggles; they just see the patients for who they are. And, in being seen for whom they are, the patients tune into their own here-and-now presence, which is often followed by a deep sigh of relief—relaxed shoulders, and softened facial expressions. " Colleen states that as an SE practitioner; she pounces on this "appearance of relief" gently encouraging the patients to "notice" their shift in sensation. "From a trauma healing perspective, it is wonderful that their body has experienced the sensation," she says.
"They become aware of their body's experience of "relief and calm" in the present moment," says Colleen. "This is the beginning of the miracle of a life being restored. " Colleen has worked in trauma healing for over a decade, and in working with patients with eating disorders, she has found their histories include some of the most damaging breeches of trust she has ever encountered. Many times their pleasant facades hide histories of such significant damage that expecting these patients to trust a person can often be too much, too soon. The horses provide a brilliant and non-threatening pathway building up to a sense of not only "I can," but "I can trust."
One of Colleen's patients wrote on a particularly challenging day during her recovery from her eating disorder: "When I'm with a horse, I think that when he looks at me, he can look straight through to what's really on the inside. He can see what I am and everything that's ever happened to me, but he still doesn't turn away. He doesn't think I'm worthless or bad, or filthy or dirty, and it feels like he's telling me: 'You can trust me.' So, I do. It's the easiest and most natural trust I've ever given to another living being. And, I think in turn, he trusts me. He knows I'm not going to hurt him, and I know he's not going to hurt me. I can talk to a horse about anything without even saying the words out loud. He can just tell what I need from him right then, and he gives it to me. The horse can tell I want to take care of him too. It's a mutually close connection that has zero fear, mistrust, or shame. This is the most open I've ever been allowed to feel. It's also the first time in my entire life that I've felt any sort of worth or self-esteem about anything. It's the first time I've ever felt 100% safe with someone else."
Hope springs eternal at a miracle ranch called The Meadows Ranch.
The Meadows Ranch combines evidence-based theories to teach coping and containment skills in order to do the deeper work to get at the source of the eating disorder so that a person can make long lasting recovery-based change.
For additional information about the treatment of eating disorders, please call to speak to a Counselor at 866-390-5100 and we will contact you with the information you need.

Activision Blizzard offers its employees financial incentives to track their reproductive health. According to a report from The Washington Post, the developer pays its staff $1 per day in gift cards if they use a medical tracking app called Ovia.
The app's website says that "Ovia Health's comprehensive maternity and family benefits solution is transforming the way women and families are supported throughout the parenthood journey." Three apps, focused on fertility, pregnancy, and parenting, are available, offering services like period tracking advice on child development.
Ovia is just one of multiple health trackers that Activision-Blizzard incentivises its employees to use. Others include Fitbit, and according to VP of global benefits Milt Ezzard, mental health, sleep, diet, autism, and cancer care trackers are also on offer. Ezzard says that while the reaction to the tracking software was initially quite negative, more and more staff eventually adopted them, enticed in part by the financial benefits. It's not clear if those benefits stack with every app used, or if staff are paid a flat fee.
Ezzard also said that the use of the app can save both Activision-Blizzard and their staff time and money; "I want them to have a healthy baby because it's great for our business experience." Around 50 users may be tracking their pregnancies at any one time, although all data collected via any of the apps included in the company's 'well-being platform' is handled by secure third parties and can reportedly not be used to identify individual employees.


The inner suburban investment property market is in recovery mode. You won't see it in the statistics published in our metropolitan daily newspapers because they concern themselves with city-wide data which, as the table shows, only indicate a flat market.
But you are undoubtedly more interested in what is happening to investment-grade assets 2-12 kilometres out from Melbourne's CBD! The feedback from our team of property advisors who are in the market 6-days a week is that prices for this category have clawed back around half of the decline in prices experienced since the previous market peak in 2010 – a testament to their resilience and quality even in a challenged market.
A further illustration of this two-speed market is auction clearance rates. Melbourne-wide, these are sitting at around 60% for 2012. That in itself is good news, being several percentage points higher than the corresponding numbers for the second half of 2011. Nevertheless, we are finding a higher clearance rate for top quality investment property – it is back at around 75%. This tells us that there is a perceptible shift in the balance of power from buyers to vendors.
The pace of the upswing is measured – the market isn't exhibiting the volatility that can appear when it really takes off – at least not yet. That's good news, as it provides more certainty and transparency about what is fair value for market participants.
Another positive for the market is the reasonable level of quality stock at the moment. If you're looking for a quality asset, now is a time you can be confident of finding it. Similarly, those who are seeking to sell can expect growing interest from buyers.
With this backdrop of an already recovering market, the 50 basis points drop in the cash rate by the Reserve Bank on Tuesday, plus the prospects of further cuts in coming months, can only provide further support.
