Thirty, twenty or even ten years back, this topic would not have come up. It would have been scoffed at. Oldtimers would have shook their heads saying it is impossible, yet times change, and with the onset of the world embracing digital, the lines have blurred. PR and marketing have come together to work cohesively as one team.
Earlier, the marketing department would have charted out their plans and as an after-thought, informed the PR team of the same. Today, they cannot afford to do so. The typical PR strategy rolled out by the communications team was to announce company news, launch of new products, bagging awards, a partnership/takeover etc.
Today, social media and the digital medium have changed the very landscape making both PR and marketing work together to achieve maximum results.
HOW DOES IT WORK
Start integrating PR practices into you marketing plans and see a huge difference.
IDENTIFY YOUR AUDIENCES
could be primary and secondary name list and can also include media, customers, prospects, suppliers or vendors, partners, employees (present and past), investors and lastly, social media.
With this wish list ready, start reaching out methodically and see the difference it makes to your brand.
WHO IS THE MEDIA
Now that you have your list reach out to the editors and journalists (print, broadcast and radio) who cover your Industry. Do constant follow ups. Also, reach out to industry experts, bloggers, youtubers and influencers in the social media domain.
PITCHING THE STORY IS THE KEY
It is the job of the marketing team to create a story and the PR’s job to pitch it to the media. With the right connect, you are bound to gather views, reviews and comments too.
Everyone today, goes by reviews. An influencer who gives a positive review can make or break your product/brand and the chances for your review/content to go viral is high.
The job of marketing is to create brand awareness and it is the same with PR too! There is a synergy here. With the media covering the product or brand, brand awareness and credibility is built overnight that no amount of advertising or marketing can deliver. Make PR a part of your marketing strategy. Do not look at PR as a stand-alone expense in your liabilities column at the time of preparing your budget for you know, PR can and does make an impact that is measurable and invaluable.

Health Officials warn of possible exposure to bat infected with rabies
Date: September 24, 2008
For Immediate Release
Contact: Greg Sowell
(Mesquite, Texas) – The Texas Department of State Health Services has confirmed a bat found in west Mesquite has tested positive for rabies.
The bat was discovered Monday on the 1400 block of Sheffield Ct. A Mesquite resident reportedly found the bat and put a box over it before calling animal control to pick it up. As part of City policy, the bat was sent to the state for testing, and did test positive for rabies. This is the first case of rabies ever confirmed in any animal in Mesquite in at least 14 years.
Anyone in the neighborhood who may have come in contact with the bat is urged to contact their physician. Rabies infections are always fatal in people unless treated before symptoms begin. Residents can also protect their pets from rabid animals by ensuring the pets are properly vaccinated against the rabies disease.
This is the seventh report of a rabid animal found in Dallas County this year, and is the fifth this year to be found in a bat.
Bats are indigenous to the North Texas area. People can follow these steps to help keep bats out of their home.
- Do not leave unscreened doors or windows open to the outside.
- Make sure doors and windows are screened, chimneys are capped, and electrical and plumbing openings in the structure are plugged.
- Seal openings larger than ¼ inch by ½ inch square that would allow access into the attic, walls or living areas.
- Utilize materials to seal or cover gaps and holes including spray-on expanding foam, wire mesh, netting, caulk or tight-fitting wood. Steel wool or calking can be used around pipes that enter buildings.
Rabies is an illness that affects the central nervous system. It is transmitted to people from infected mammals. Rabies can be prevented by avoiding exposure to infected animals. Rabies is preventable through a series of vaccinations after exposure, but it is fatal once symptoms appear.
- Rabies is a viral infection of the nervous system.
- Rabies is usually transmitted to people from the bite of an infected mammal.
- Rabies can be prevented by: avoiding exposure to animals with rabies and seeking immediate medical attention after the bite of an infected animal.
- Rabies is preventable through a series of vaccinations after exposure, but it is fatal once symptoms appear.
Newspaper Deliveries cause complaints
The City of Mesquite is working with The Dallas Morning News to curtail complaints regarding the distribution of its papers in the community.
In August the City received a sudden increase of calls regarding the distribution of Al Dia in certain neighborhoods from people who were concerned about the papers turning into litter. During the first week in August The Dallas Morning News increased its distribution of Al Dia in Mesquite from 1,000 to 10,000 homes located in the 75149, 75150 and 75180 zip codes. In addition, on August 27, The DMN also started distributing 5,000 copies of a paper called Briefing in the 75150 zip code.
The City has passed on community concerns regarding the distribution process, and The Dallas Morning News has been very responsive and says it will address problems as quickly as possible.
Al Dia is a publication targeted for Spanish speaking households, while Briefing is targeted for working families who have little time to pick up a full newspaper. The papers are being distributed for free in select neighborhoods, but there is an opt-out system if you do not wish to receive a copy. The customer service number for Al Dia is 469-977-3747, and the customer service number for Briefing is 214-977-8333. You can call these numbers to cancel delivery or register complaints. You can also call it to inquire about delivery.

Barley growers fear prices slump as buyers 'aren't biting'
FARMERS with stocks of dried barley are struggling to source buyers for their grain, and there are growing fears that prices could fall by €35/t from the post-harvest high.
Prices have eased back from €220/t to €205/t in recent weeks but growers fear that they will fall further, as it is increasingly difficult to move stocks.
"There is absolutely nobody biting," one grower told the Farming Independent.
The slide in barley prices has been blamed on a combination of cheaper US maize imports and lower demand for feed this spring because of the depressed market for beef and strong early grass growth.
Angry cereal growers contend that the local grain market was further undermined by the import of over 3,500t of British barley before Christmas.
However, merchants argue that this was forward-bought by the trade last summer at a time when meal sales were soaring and the outlook for the local harvest was on the floor.
Merchants maintain that all the Irish barley in stores will be used. They don't expect a significant carryover of product into this year's harvest, but they insist that barley prices will have to come back.
Industry sources say that with maize available for €184/t export, the price of native barley could fall by another €20/t.
The fact that growers are caught with stocks of grain is somewhat ironic given that the 2018 grain harvest was one of the smallest in a number of years due to last summer's severe drought.
Output was back 100,000-150,000t on 2016 and 2017, with the overall grain harvest totalling 2.2m tonnes, compared to 2.35m tonnes in 2017 and 2.3m tonnes in 2016.

text: Growth hormone (GH) is secreted in the anterior pituitary gland by the somatotroph cells. Secretion is regulated by growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) and somatostatin. Morever, GH secretagogues (GHS) can exert a considerable effect on GH secretion. In order to determine the effects of chronic treatment with the GHS Ipamorelin on the composition of the somatotroph cell population and on somatotroph GH content, an in vitro analysis was performed of the percentage of somatotroph cells (% of total), the ratio of different GH cell types (strongly/weakly-staining) and individual GH content, in pituitary cell cultures obtained from young female rats receiving Ipamorelin over 21 days (Ipamorelin group) and the effects were compared with those of GHRH (GHRH group) or saline (saline group). The ultrastructure of somatotroph cells did not change, but the volume density of secretion granules was increased (P<0.05) by previous in vivo Ipamorelin or GHRH treatment. In 3-day basal pituitary cell monolayer cultures, the percentage of somatotroph cells showed no modifications between groups, nor was there any change in the ratio of strongly/weakly immunostaining GH cells. In the Ipamorelin group alone, in vitro treatment with Ipamorelin (10(-8) M), or GHRP 6 (10(-8) M), or GHRH (10(-8) M) for 4 hours, increased the percentage of somatotroph cells, without modifying the ratio of strongly/weakly immunostained GH cells. Basal intracellular GH content in somatotroph cells over 4 hours was lower in the Ipamorelin group and the GHRH group than in the saline group. Only in the Ipamorelin group did Ipamorelin (10(-8) M), GHRP 6 (10(-8) M) and GHRH (10(-8) M) prompt increased intracellular GH content. These data suggest that, at least in the young female rat, the GHS Ipamorelin is able to exert a dynamic control effect on the somatotroph population and on GH hormone content.

In an unprecedented move, state authorities are poised to approve California’s proposal to outlaw the sale of new gasoline-powered automobiles by 2035 on Thursday.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) put out the restriction, which would be among the first of its type globally, in April to help Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom reach his objective of cutting emissions by banning the sale of new gas vehicles by 2035.
In a statement to The New York Times, Newsom stated, “The climate catastrophe is solvable if we concentrate on the large, bold efforts required to halt the flood of carbon pollution.”
There are criteria to meet along the way in California’s goal to stop selling gas-powered automobiles by the middle of the next decade. According to the proposal, California will need 35% of newly purchased vehicles to have zero emissions by 2026, 68% of newly purchased vehicles by 2030, and 100% of newly purchased vehicles by 2035. The idea would not apply to used autos.
As the biggest carmaker in the United States, the state’s decision is likely to have an impact on the rest of the nation. According to CNN, CARB member Daniel Sperling remarked, “This is huge.” The most significant action taken by CARB in the last 30 years. It’s significant for the whole nation and the entire planet, not just for California.
The board member told CNN that he is still “99.9%” certain that the proposal will be approved on Thursday.
According to experts, the restriction would hasten the transition to electric cars. President Joe Biden underlined this intention in an executive order last year that urged the government to strive for the sale of half-electric vehicles by 2030. The ban’s approval by the California board comes one week after President Biden signed the biggest climate-related expenditure bill in American history.
The $370 billion in climate expenditures included in the Democrats’ “Inflation Reduction Act” was hailed by Biden as a means of encouraging Americans to purchase electric cars. The law would “provide customers with a tax credit to acquire electric cars or fuel cell vehicles, new or secondhand,” according to Biden.
At the bill’s signing, the president said, “American car firms are devoting their money and their talent—billions of dollars in investment—to produce electric vehicles, batteries, and electric charging stations all over America, built in America.”
According to earlier information from The Daily Wire, California is not the only state attempting to phase out gas-powered automobiles. At least 15 states are working toward comparable objectives based on California’s Low-Emission Vehicle standards, including New York, Massachusetts, and Vermont.

The rumors were only partially correct. The US Commerce Department has indeed thrown Huawei a lifeline by granting it another Temporary General License extension but not the short 14-day period earlier believed. In fact, for the third time, Huawei is being given another 90 days to do business with US companies. Despite what looks like a generous reprieve, however, the fate of Huawei’s mobile products, particularly the Mate 30 series, still remains uncertain because of the limits the extension imposes on Huawei’s trade with US companies.
When the US first put Huawei on its Entity List in May, thereby forbidding US companies from doing business with the Chinese tech giant, it handed out a 90-day temporary license so as not to immediately disrupt US businesses and networks. It extended that license to another 90 days in August for the same reasons and that would have ended today. Somewhat unsurprisingly, the US government gave yet another extension, again for 90 days, ending in February 2020.
The official reason is to keep small-time and rural network operators from going out of business. These smaller carriers have opted to use Huawei and ZTE equipment due to their affordability, something they may be barred from doing in the near future. Unofficially, many see it as a way for the US to keep Huawei as its bargaining chip in its trade negotiations with China.
Unfortunately, the effects of the extension on Huawei’s and Honor’s smartphones are still uncertain. Theoretically, the license only permits Huawei tp continue supporting existing products, in this case pushing out updates to Android phones already in the market. It may not have provisions for adding Google Play to new ones like the Huawei Mate 30.

For its part, Huawei is apathetic to the extension, claiming it changes nothing in its business nor in the unfair treatment it is receiving. Other partners like ARM have found ways around the US embargo though Google remains silent on that front.

Research is a community affair, whether it is the peer-review system that relies on colleagues to offer criticism or the collaboration across disciplines to conduct clinical trials that impact the health of millions. However, during the critical grant-writing process, we tend to dig in and isolate ourselves. It’s almost as if researchers become so focused that they forget to turn back to the community for input; despite knowing it is that same community that will judge their work later. At best, researchers tend to share their grants with only a select few like-minded colleagues.
Grant writing is a skill that is honed over time with practice and constructive criticism. The ability to concisely articulate the need for research, a valid and clear approach, and the expected impact is difficult (to say the least). Potentially even more difficult is condensing the entirety of the grant into a single specific aims page that offers a clear window into the proposed research and grabs the reviewers’ attention.
A strong aims page puts the reviewer in the right mindset to offer higher praise and constructive feedback as opposed to negative criticism. Rather than wait for feedback from the greater research community post-submission, why not leverage existing networks for outside input prior to submission?
The American Academy of Audiology is pleased to offer a new session Grant Review—Speed Dating at AAA 2020 + HearTECH Expo in New Orleans. A group of five academic hearing scientists have come together to offer feedback in a speed-dating style session.
- Amyn Amlani, PhD, Audigy Group
- Bharath Chandrasekaran, PhD, University of Pittsburgh
- Colleen Le Prell, PhD, The University of Texas at Dallas
- Nicholas S. Reed, AuD, Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health
- Todd Ricketts, PhD, Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Participants can bring an aims page and receive 5-10 minutes with each scientist. The goal is to walk away with a refined specific aims page and elevator pitch for the proposed research through the constructive input from assembled scientists.
In turn, the Academy hopes to improve chances for success on grant submissions from its members. The diversity of the group (i.e., representatives from bench, clinical, and public health science) will ensure multiple viewpoints and mimic real-world study section makeup for participants.
This session represents just one of the ways the American Academy of Audiology is committing to developing its members with a focus on research. By leveraging our community’s skills and experience, the Academy hopes to support the next generation of hearing-focused scientists and improve the hearing health for millions of Americans.
Space for this session at AA 2020 is limited, so please e-mail Katy Sidwell to take advantage of this opportunity.

Centrifugal separation can be regarded as an extension of gravity separation as the settling rates of particles are increased under the influence of centrifugal force It can however be used to separate emulsions which are normally stable in a gravity field.
By comparison centrifuges are much more costly and complex but have a much greater clarifying power and are generally more flexible than hydrocyclones Various types of centrifuge are used industrially Bragg 1983 Bershad et al 1990 Leung 2002 the solid bowl centrifuge or decanter having widest use in the minerals industry due to its versatility and ability to discharge the solids continuously.
The actual size and geometry of these centrifuges vary according to the throughput required and the application The length of the cylindrical section largely determines the clarifying power and is thus made a maximum where overflow clarity is of prime importance The length of the conical section or beach decides the residual moisture content of the solids so that a long shallow cone is used where maximum dryness is required.

The centrifugal separation of solid impurities is adopted either as an alternative to filtration or combined with it For example a lubricant circulating system can be cleaned by having fixed element filters that arrest larger particles and a centrifuge system that removes the finer solids in suspension together with any water contained in the oil.
The centrifuge is a powerful tool The magnitude of the available centrifugal force the product of the mass of the particle and its acceleration is easily appreciated when the speeds and dimensions of a commercial unit are considered A vessel with a diameter of 25 4 cm spinning at 1700 revmin gives an acceleration at the centrifuge wall of some 400 g In terms of settling this means that centrifuging a crude oil for 30 s is at least equivalent to simple gravitational settling over a 24 h period.

Knitting is all about the details. If you add or subtract a single stitch per inch you’ll drastically change the final measurement of a garment. An unnoticed dropped stitch will throw off the count for a stitch pattern. Following a pattern even means keeping notes of where you are, what you’ve done previously, and remembering what stitches you’ve used (was that a K2tog decrease or a SSK?).
Like I said, a lot of details. And sometimes knitters are afraid to tackle a bigger project because of all those details. But I gotta tell you, there’s nothing more satisfying than watching a sweater take shape on your needles. And sometimes the little details—like the way a collar gently curves up to meet your neck—are the best parts.
Knitprint is launching in just a few weeks and I want it to become your go-to place for knitting and crafting encouragement, inspiration, and most of all, confidence in yourself and your ability to tackle that tricky project you’ve been putting off! In the meantime, tell me what big project you’ve been working up the nerve to take on!

Iraqiyya Loses a Seat in Diyala, and Probably Keeps It
Posted by Reidar Visser on Wednesday, 28 April 2010 18:30
Lists of the 52 de-Baathified candidates have now begun circulating and it has been confirmed that in addition to Ibrahim al-Mutlak, the replacement candidate for Salih al-Mutlak in Baghdad, another member of Iraqiyya originally from the Hiwar bloc, Raad Hamid Kazim Awwad al-Bayati, candidate number 7 in Diyala, has been subjected to the de-Baathification ruling.
With respect to Mutlak, it seems futile to try to recalculate Baghdad in a detailed way given the high number of candidates and the recount that is underway. However, Mutlak only accounts for some 5,700 of the 841,700 votes of Iraqiyya in Baghdad and their non-winning candidates there have low personal scores so it does not matter much if some of them may be among the 52 – the exclusion of Mutlak’s votes in itself seems unlikely to change the total seats for Iraqiyya . That said, of course, this is still theft of votes of the most brazen and outrageous kind.
Much the same can be said in Diyala, although here the race is closer and it may be worth trying a recalculation. The excluded candidate for Iraqiyya got 11,991 personal votes which is quite substantial, but apparently, based on a very hasty check, no more INM candidates here are among the 52. So total votes in the governorate is reduced to around 490,905 and the electoral divider is adjusted from 38,684 to around 37,761 (depending, of course on the exclusion of non-winning candidates, which however are likely to produce smaller changes). Still, however, the initial allocation is the same: 1 seat for INA, 6 for INM, 1 for SLA, 1 for KA. Then in the second allocation, the INM share of the votes is slightly reduced from 55% to 54% but still sufficient to ensure 2 seats in the second allocation, thus ending up with 8 seats as was the case before the subtraction of the votes for Raad al-Bayati.
In sum, Diyala might be an example of the de-Baathification process creating lots of ill feeling and long delays, but maybe not so much in the way of a changed parliamentary arithmetic.
PS It should be added that the way comments from Ali al-Lami have been juxtaposed to the names of the 52 candidates in some press reports may have created the impression that 8 or 9 Iraqiyya candidates are confirmed as having lost their seats. This is not the case; Lami apparently refers to a separate batch of exclusion orders submitted on top of the 52 others (which he hopes to exclude) and the outcome of this has apparently not been decided by the electoral judicial board. Though one wonders why Mr. Lami can never seem to get his business done by way of a single dispatch.

Borderlands! Apparently lots of people like it, I just happen not to know many of them. A quick RPS-chat whip round revealed a startling apathy for its cell-shaded comedy and endless weaponry. I feel like I really should love it, but just can’t get past how boring it is to play. It gains a little from co-op, clearly the supposed strength of its formula, but a game would need to be extraordinarily bad not to be fun with a group of friends.
The baitingly-titled Pre-Sequel doesn’t look to be changing much of that. It’s low-grav gimmicks and the series’ best-known characters placed in what we’ve seen before. As lazy as it is to say: if you liked that, presumably you’ll feel similarly about this. Check with the Gamescom trailer below.

Kim Kardashian, 40, is giving some due to ex Kanye West, 44, for helping shape her into the woman she is today. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star appeared on the Aug. 11 episode of the We are Supported by… podcast, where she told hosts Kristen Bell and Monica Padman that she learned to grow a thick skin thanks to Kanye. “I got to a point — and maybe it was being in a relationship with Kanye for a decade and someone that absolutely didn’t care about likeability factor or what any of perception of him was as long as he was true to himself,” the mom of four said. “That taught me so much in the best way of just being me and truly not care as much about what other people thought,” she added.
Kim went on to say that while she thinks of herself as someone who is “more vain than the average person,” she evolved into ignoring other’s opinions of her. “It is totally okay to change your mind and to want different things and to start off being people pleaser and to ending up not being a people pleaser,” Kim explained. “Just because you’re not doesn’t mean you’re an a**hole.”
The SKIMS founder continued, “As long as I’m myself and as long as I’m doing it the way that I want to, like, you have one life and you’re living it for you. That taught me to just be more confident in myself and truly not care as much of what other people thought.”
Kim filed for divorce from Kanye in February 2021 after seven years of marriage and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. The former couple have not spoken out publicly about the status of their marriage, but they have continued to support one another while co-parenting their children North, 8, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2. On Aug. 5, Kim took all four kids to Kanye’s latest listening party in Atlanta for his upcoming album Donda. Kim had previously supported her estranged husband by appearing at his first listening party on July 22 alongside sister Khloe Kardashian.
Earlier this month, a source told HollywoodLife that Kim and Kanye want to maintain “family unity” throughout the divorce proceedings and “have made a pact to support each other.” The insider also said that Kim “wishes it wasn’t like this” regarding her situation with Kanye. “It’s her hope that he’ll support her when the time comes for her to promote or do something big, but she’s unsure if he will,” the source said.

Simon Calder discusses border closures and travel
Dubai holidays now come with stringent restrictions due to coronavirus. The destination is on the travel corridor list and has not yet banned UK flights over the mutant strain of covid identified here but the UAE does have many travel rules in place. Yesterday, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) announced a new update to their travel advice.
Dubai travel advice
From today, visitors are now allowed to fly to Abu Dhabi.
The FCDO explained COVID-19 testing and quarantine rules for the UAE capital which lies south of Dubai had therefore changed.
“Visitors are allowed to travel by air to Abu Dhabi with effect from 24 December,” said the FCDO.
We will use your email address only for sending you newsletters. Please see our Privacy Notice for details of your data protection rights.
“Visitors can travel to Abu Dhabi by road but must have had a COVID-19 PCR test within 72 hours of travel.
“There is also a requirement for further testing if visitors and residents remain in Abu Dhabi for six days or longer. Further information is available on the Emirates News Agency website and from the Abu Dhabi Media Office.”
The UK is not on the city’s ‘green list’ of countries and therefore Britons will need to quarantine for 10 days on arrival
“All arrivals will be required to wear a medically approved wristband for the duration of their quarantine,” detailed the FCDO.
“The wristband will be provided at Abu Dhabi airport after clearing immigration. Arrivals under the age of 18, over the age of 60, diplomats or those suffering from a chronic disease will be exempt from having to wear the wristband.”
Tourism website Visit Abu Dhabi explained travel procedures on its website.
Before making any travel arrangements to Abu Dhabi, you need to ensure the following:
– Contact your airline for important travel information and familiarise yourself with the guidelines and regulations set by relevant authorities
– Ensure you meet entry visa requirements to visit the UAE. You can check your visa requirements here
– If you are travelling with Etihad Airways, you’ll be covered by Etihad’s COVID-19 global wellness insurance cover. Cover is included with every Etihad Airways ticket for travel up to March 31, 2021 – click here.
– Etihad Airways has introduced a comprehensive Wellness guide, with all the information you need to know about travelling safely
UAE airline Etihad Airways updated its travel advice to passengers yesterday after the covid testing was reduced from 96 hours to 72.
“Following an announcement by the National Crisis and Disaster Management Authority, effective 24 December 2020, Etihad Airways requires all guests flying from the United Kingdom to present a negative PCR test within 72 hours validity of their flight departure time,” said the carrier in a statement.
It continued: “Etihad is the only airline in the world requiring 100 percent of its passengers to show a negative PCR test before travelling and again on arrival into Abu Dhabi, ensuring peace of mind for all on board.
“PCR tests must be conducted at a government accredited medical facility. Suggested facilities can be found at etihad.com.
“As many COVID-19 PCR test certificates do not currently show the date and time the test was taken, guests are required to show evidence of this at check-in, for example by presenting their appointment confirmation.
“Children under 12 and people with severe and moderate disabilities are exempt from COVID-19 PCR testing.”
Covid tests are also required for Dubai. “Individuals travelling from the UK to Dubai now have the option to undertake a COVID-19 PCR test on arrival at Dubai airport,” the Foreign Office explained.
“If you test positive for COVID-19 on arrival in Dubai, depending on your symptoms and your accommodation plans, you may be required to self-isolate in a government-led facility, a hospital, your hotel or privately arranged accommodation.”
It added: “In all circumstances, the test must be a COVID-19 PCR swab test. Other test results including antibody tests are not accepted.”

Capitalism and the Suicide of Culture
Not long before he died, the political philosopher Isaiah Berlin somberly summed up his, and our, age: "I have lived through most of the twentieth century without ... suffering personal hardship. I remember it only as the most terrible century in Western history." What made it so terrible is politics-or, more precisely, the secular religions of National Socialism and communism, which violently sought to transfigure the bourgeois economic and political condition of modern man. The exact number of people killed by these political adventures will never be known, but it exceeds 125 million.
Those secular religions are now gone, leaving behind only ruin. Communism, as an ongoing political experiment, expired with the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989; National Socialism didn't survive the crushing military defeat delivered by the Allies in World War II. In the early days of the twenty-first century, it is difficult to imagine a serious ideological challenger to what communism and National Socialism wanted to destroy: prosaic bourgeois liberal democracy-what others call democratic capitalism.
Despite the fall of these political messianisms, however, the future of democratic capitalism is by no means unclouded, and not just because of the very serious physical threat posed by radical Islam, which some see as itself a new form of ideological politics. The hubris of the secular religions was to think that they had solved "the political problem." Properly understood, democratic capitalism makes no such claims. It has been a virtue of the richest current of liberal democratic thought, from James Madison and Alexis de Tocqueville to Irving Kristol and Pierre Manent, to explore bourgeois society's inherent limitations and failings without losing sight of its basic decency and relative justness.
The work of three leading contemporary thinkers-none of them on the conventional left-enables us to confirm the relevance of that anti-utopian tradition and gain a better understanding of what troubles democratic capitalism today.
The Dream of Transcending Politics
We begin with the late French historian François Furet, who provides striking insights into the political tensions of democratic capitalism. At the time of his death in 1997, Furet was France's foremost historian and the world's preeminent authority on the French Revolution. Though once a Marxist himself, Furet broke with the Marxist view of the French Revolution-long dominant in French historiography-which saw it as an economically determined bourgeois warm-up for the Russian Revolution of October 1917. In the Marxian optic, 1789 was the inevitable result of a rising bourgeoisie overthrowing the ancien régime and the agricultural society that it represented. Furet, however, rejected the notion of historical inevitability and gave human political actions a central explanatory role. In a Tocquevillian register of conservative liberalism, he also claimed that the revolution had released utopian hopes for a humanity at last reconciled with itself and in control of its destiny, hopes that neither liberal democracy nor any other political regime, including socialism, could ever satisfactorily fulfill.Continue reading the main story
In The Passing of an Illusion: The Idea of Communism in the Twentieth Century, which appeared in France in 1995 and quickly became a controversial bestseller across Europe, Furet shifted his focus to the twentieth century and specifically to the rise and decline of the communist dream, the shape finally taken by those profound but-when directed into politics-destructive longings first unleashed by the French revolutionaries. Disabused, attentive to the complex interactions of "ideas, intentions, and circumstances" that give meaning to history, Furet's final testament was written on the far side of the revolutionary passions of the epoch. It serves as a kind of warning: we must not expect too much from politics.
Communism's seductive appeal, Furet argues, came in considerable part from its coupling of the inherently incompatible ideas of human volition and the science of history. The Bolsheviks showed the true capacity of man's revolutionary will, which, in the most backward nation of Europe, promised the achievement of human liberation first announced by the French Revolution. To this "cult of volition," Furet explains, "Lenin would add the certainties of science, drawn from Marx's Capital." History has a predetermined outcome and, thanks to Marxist "science," we know exactly what it is, the revolutionaries claimed. Knowledge would transform proletarian man into the lord of time, ushering in the classless society.
It was never clear how a science of historical inevitability could be reconciled with the allegedly Promethean will that forged the Russian Revolution, but no matter. Berlin describes the emotional lure: "There is a curious human feeling that if the stars in their courses are fighting for you, so that your cause will triumph, then you should sacrifice yourself in order to shorten the process, to bring the birth pangs of the new order nearer." Will and science: "By combining these two supremely modern elixirs with their contempt for logic," Furet stringently notes, "the revolutionaries of 1917 had finally concocted a brew sufficiently potent to inebriate militants for generations to come."
Yet, however intoxicating communism's blend of revolutionary will and pseudoscience, it inebriated as many as it did because it both grew out of and exploited two fundamental political weaknesses of the bourgeois regime. The first weakness: liberal democracy had set loose an egalitarian spirit that it could never fully tame. The notion of the universal equality of man, which liberal democracy claims as its foundation, easily becomes subject to egalitarian overbidding. Equality constantly finds itself undermined by the freedoms that the liberal order secures. The liberty to pursue wealth, to seek to better one's condition, to create, to strive for power or achievement-all these freedoms unceasingly generate inequality, since not all people are equally gifted, equally nurtured, equally hardworking, equally lucky. Equality works in democratic capitalist societies like an imaginary horizon, forever retreating as one approaches it.
Communism professed to fulfill the democratic promise of equality. Real liberty could only be the achievement of a more equal world-a world, that is, sans bourgeoisie. And if what the communists derisively called the "formal" liberties of expression and political representation had to be sacrificed in order to establish the true freedom of a classless society, well, so be it. Thus was the "egalitarian apocalypse" set in motion, as Furet observes.
The second weakness of liberal democracy is more complex, though its consequences are increasingly evident: liberal democracy's moral indeterminacy. The "bourgeois city," as Furet terms it, is morally indeterminate because, basing itself on the sovereign individual, it constitutes itself as a rebellion against, or at least as a downplaying of, any extra-human or ontological dimension that might provide moral direction to life. For all the inestimable benefits of the bourgeois city-its threefold liberation, in Michael Novak's formulation, from tyranny, from the oppression of conscience, and from the pervasive material poverty of the premodern world-its deliverance from the past has come at a price.
Furet suggests that as the "self" moves to the center of the bourgeois world, existential questions-what is man? what is the meaning of life?-become difficult to answer. Communism, usurping the role of religion in checking the individualizing excesses of democratic modernity, falsely promised to resolve such pressing existential questions by providing a political articulation-horribly perverse, as it turned out-of human ends.
The two political weaknesses of the bourgeois order have their psychological corollaries: self-doubt and self-hatred. The bourgeois man finds himself unsettled by a guilty conscience and spiritual dissatisfaction. "Self-doubt," Furet writes, "has led to a characteristic of modern democracy probably unique in universal history, the infinite capacity to produce offspring who detest the social and political regime into which they were born-hating the very air they breathe, though they cannot survive without it and have known no other." Hatred of the bourgeoisie, on the right as well as the left, is a tale as old as modernity itself, of course, but it is jarring to reflect on how much ire has come not from aristocratic revenants or fiery proles, but from the cerebral sons of businessmen. Historian Perry Anderson points out that most leading Marxist thinkers originally came from bourgeois money: Theodore Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Friedrich Engels, Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg, Herbert Marcuse, even Marx himself-all had fathers who were bankers, bureaucrats, lawyers, manufacturers, or merchants.
The end of World War I-a bourgeois war motivated by bourgeois concerns and supported by the bourgeois class-left middle-class Europe exhausted. Into the breach stepped the Soviet Union, the antibourgeois society with all the answers. In the interwar years, liberal democratic societies seemed powerless to control their fate, while the Soviet Union's "five-year plans," constructing the socialist future, appeared to many as models of human rationality. But as credible reports of purges, political terror, and starvation began to leak from Stalin's totalitarian netherworld during the 1930s, doubts about the communist system began to arise.
The chaotic aftermath of the Great War also spurred the rise of fascism, a second and rival critique of bourgeois modernity. Where communism embraced the universal ideals of 1789, fascism drew its revolutionary force from the ideal of the nation and-with its darkest star, National Socialism-racial ideology, making it what Furet calls the "pathology of the particular." Although professed mortal enemies, communism and fascism shared many affinities, including a loathing of the bourgeoisie.
Despite the failures of communism and fascism, the political weaknesses of the democracies-their susceptibility to egalitarian overbidding and their moral indeterminacy-are with us still. Nor are we free from hatred of the bourgeoisie; it remains virulent in both high and popular culture. The liberal democratic regime, by its very nature, observes Furet, "creates the need for a world beyond the bourgeoisie and beyond Capital, a world in which a genuine human community can flourish"-a need, he persuasively shows, that will never be met. With the fall of communism, "The idea of another society has become almost impossible to conceive of, and no one in the world today is offering any advice on the subject or even trying to formulate a new concept." "Here we are, condemned to live in the world as it is."
Is this strange antinomy of the human political condition-between the utopian impulse and prosaic reality-sustainable? Though communism and fascism have exited the stage of history, one should resist the temptation to conclude that the history of politics culminates in the bourgeois regime. New political monsters may yet arise from the unstable and ultimately dissatisfying bourgeois world. (The threat of Islamic radicalism is less an internal than an external challenge to that world, in my view.) More likely, liberal democratic societies will struggle with a generalized moral nihilism that is subversive of the social order, a concern I will return to later. In any case, the task of political thought is to guard against these threats, whatever shape they might take, through what Furet terms "the sad analysis of reality."
Economic Globalization: Bane or Boon?
If the political future of democratic capitalism remains uncertain, requiring both vigilance and reconciliation to this-worldly imperfections, what about its economic prospect? Though communism now rests in history's dustbin, anticapitalism is not without its influential adherents. Chief among them, perhaps, is the British political theorist John Gray. Gray is no traditional leftist. But having moved from Margaret Thatcher's camp in the 1980s to become a fierce critic of Thatcher's legacy during the 1990s, he is certainly no longer the free-market conservative he once was. His book False Dawn, published in 1998, along with other recent writings constitute blistering assaults on the global capitalism of competitive free markets, fast-moving entrepreneurs, and volatile stock exchanges.
In False Dawn Gray dismisses the assumption that global capitalism will spread wealth across the planet. Inverting Montesquieu's dictum, "Commerce ... polishes and softens barbarian ways," Gray believes that capitalism is leading inexorably to a new, late-modern barbarism. Indeed, he argues, the project of creating a world market is as utopian as was Soviet communism-he stresses that both are Enlightenment ideologies wedded to the cult of reason and blind to history-and could ultimately "rival it in the suffering that it inflicts."
For Gray, the project for a world market is utopian because it seeks to transplant a U.S.-forged "unfettered" capitalism, characterized by flexible labor markets, low taxes, spirited competition, and relatively restrained welfare benefits, to cultures with radically different, "embedded" markets in which man's desire to barter and trade is constrained. The transplant will never take, he concludes, since unfettered markets are humanly unsatisfying. But global capitalism's "gale of creative destruction"-Gray borrows the language, though not the sobriety, of economist Joseph Schumpeter-will erode social cohesion by destroying settled ways of life, ignite fundamentalist movements (including Islamist ones) that will struggle to restore order by force, and lead rival powers to exploit natural resources ruthlessly until the earth is left cracked and barren. The world will face the "return of history, with its familiar intractable conflicts, tragic choices, and ruined illusions."
Gray paints global capitalism in lurid colors. "Already it has resulted in over a hundred million peasants becoming migrant laborers in China, the exclusion from work and participation in society of tens of millions in the advanced societies, a condition of near-anarchy and rule by organized crime in parts of the post-Communist world, and further devastation of the environment." In the United States, where the market is most free and its unyielding logic most visible, the technological innovation and cutthroat competition that characterize the creative destruction of capitalism have "proletarianized" the middle classes by eliminating stable careers and suppressing income growth, undermined the family, bred resentment over fast-rising inequality, and pushed innumerable uprooted and alienated individuals into criminality. Gray predicts that the dismal realities of the American economy will soon consume the world. Supporting his contention, he interprets the 1990s crisis of Asian capitalism as a harbinger of a "fast-developing crisis of global capitalism," a sign that global free markets have become ungovernable.
Gray sees no truly viable political response to global capitalism. He hopes for what one might call "market pluralism," the flourishing of varied kinds of market economies within different cultural and political forms. But his hope burns dimly, since he foresees no world power encouraging such a vision. The United States is the global market's chief sponsor, while socialism is dead, acknowledges Gray, and for good reason: "The legacy of socialist central planning has been ruinous." But Gray thinks that his preferred kind of "social democracy" has also gone into "final retreat," unable to resist the capitalist storm. Global markets, obeying a "New Gresham's Law" in which bad forms of capitalism drive out good, punish governments that borrow too much money or boost taxes to achieve full employment. A "race to the bottom" ensues, with governments stripping away social protections in order to remain economically competitive, and firms relocating to whatever global backwaters offer the cheapest labor costs.
This is a bleak picture. Fortunately, it's also fantasy. Gray's description of contemporary capitalism is wildly exaggerated. He overestimates the degree of the historical ascendancy of American-style capitalism as well as the destructive effects of economic globalization. Market pluralism is, in fact, a fairly accurate way of describing the global economy, and it is likely to remain so. To the "unfettered" capitalism of the United States-itself a caricature, since the American economy is heavily regulated-we can contrast Japanese capitalism, which still features long-term employment and tight relations between banks and other firms; the German social-market model, with generous welfare benefits, powerful trade unions, and high taxes; and the touted "Third Way" of Tony Blair's Labour Party in England. One needn't stake a claim on the merits of any particular brand of capitalism to grasp the reality of market pluralism.

Star Wars has shown us a whole bunch of vehicles that have become legendary and recognizable among all, such as the X-Wing or the Millennium Falcon. Although most will remain in the realm of the imagination for many years, others like the famous Landspeeder could be adapted (roughly) with our current technologies.
That’s kind of what the Jetson One offers. It is not a question of copying the look of the famous motojet found in episode VI, but of finding similar sensations.
Above all, it is not a question of revolutionizing transport. With 20 minutes of autonomy and a maximum speed of less than 100 km/h, this vehicle is intended for recreational use. Weighing less than 250 pounds (114 kg), it escapes Federal Aviation Administration regulations, which means it does not require a pilot’s license.
According to the company, the handling is sufficiently intuitive to be accessible to all, without any notion of piloting. Nevertheless, Jetson plans to offer training to acquirers. The CEO said the company has taken 163 pre-orders for a device that will cost $92,000.
The first deliveries should take place in 2023.

The opinion of the court was delivered by: Patrick J. Walsh United States Magistrate Judge
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Before the Court is Plaintiff's appeal of a decision by Defendant Social Security Administration ("the Agency"), denying his applications for Disability Insurance benefits ("DIB") and Supplemental Security Income ("SSI"). Plaintiff claims that the Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") failed to provide legally sufficient reasons for rejecting the testimony of a medical expert who opined that Plaintiff could no more than occasionally use his right hand in handling and grasping. (Joint Stip. at 3-5.) For the following reasons, the Agency's decision is affirmed.
II. SUMMARY OF PROCEEDINGS
Plaintiff applied for DIB and SSI on May 15, 2006, alleging that he had been unable to work since September 19, 2005, due to carpal tunnel syndrome. (Administrative Record ("AR") 99-103, 128.) The Agency denied the applications initially and on reconsideration. (AR 48-49, 51-60.) Plaintiff then requested and was granted a hearing before an ALJ. (AR 63-65.) Plaintiff appeared with counsel and testified at the hearing on March 5, 2008. (AR 24-47.) On May 29, 2008, the ALJ issued a decision denying benefits. (AR 8-18.) The ALJ concluded that Plaintiff could perform his past work as an office manager, which necessitated frequent use of his right hand, despite his history of carpal tunnel syndrome. (AR 17.) Plaintiff appealed to the Appeals Council, which denied review. (AR 1-7.) He then commenced the instant action.
In his sole claim of error, Plaintiff contends that the ALJ erred by failing to provide legally adequate reasons for rejecting the opinion of the non-treating, non-examining medical expert Dr. Harvey Alpern. (Joint Stip. at 3-5.) Dr. Alpern testified that Plaintiff could only occasionally grasp and handle objects with his right hand due to carpal tunnel syndrome. (AR 38.) According to the vocational expert, Plaintiff would be unable to work as an office manager with this limitation. (AR 42-44.) The ALJ rejected Dr. Alpern's opinion and concluded, instead, that Plaintiff could use his right hand frequently and, therefore, could work.
Plaintiff contends that the ALJ erred in reaching this conclusion because he failed to cite legally sufficient reasons for doing so. (Joint Stip. at 3, 5.) He argues that the fact that the ALJ called Dr. Alpern to testify at the hearing by itself shows that the medical record regarding Plaintiff's limitations was not clear. (Joint Stip. at 9.) He argues further that the state agency reviewing physician's opinion should be discounted because he relied on incomplete treatment records. (Joint Stip. at 9.) Plaintiff further contends that Dr. Yu's opinion is inconsistent with the other medical evidence in the record and, therefore, cannot support the ALJ's decision. (Joint Stip. at 9, 10.) For the following reasons, the Court disagrees.
The review of the medical evidence shows the following: A January 25, 2006 progress note showed that Plaintiff complained of tingling and stinging in his right wrist, but an examination failed to produce positive results for Tinel's sign or Phalen's maneuver---the two tests used to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome--and neither wrist was tender to palpation. (AR 188.) Plaintiff's doctor prescribed Naprosyn and advised him to wear wrist supports. (AR 188.) On March 7, 2006, Plaintiff complained of worsening wrist pain, with little relief from Naprosyn. (AR 187.) This time, the doctor's examination revealed positive Tinel's sign and reduced grip strength in Plaintiff's right hand, but a negative Phalen's on both wrists, and no reduction in range of motion. (AR 187.) Plaintiff was advised to wear braces at night and when using a computer, apply hot and cold compresses, and take Motrin. (AR 187.) An April 24, 2006 progress note reported that Plaintiff "has developed carpal tunnel syndrome," was wearing a wrist support on his right wrist, and was not taking medication at that time. (AR 209.) Plaintiff was referred to physical therapy. (AR 254.) Plaintiff was discharged from physical therapy after failing to show up for an appointment in June 2006, because his referral had expired. (AR 180).
In October 2006, the Agency ordered a consultative orthopedic examination due to the lack of current physical examination findings. (AR 243.) On October 22, 2006, Dr. Yu performed that examination, noting Plaintiff's history of carpal tunnel, as well as "significant guarding" of his right wrist and forearm. (AR 193, 194.) He found no gross atrophy in that arm or wrist, but did note a positive Tinel's sign over the cubital tunnel, as well as non-radiating pain. (AR 194.) He found a normal range of motion in Plaintiff's hands, but no grip strength in his right hand, and 4/5 motor strength throughout his right hand "secondary to guarding." (AR 194-95.) Dr. Yu diagnosed myofascial pain in Plaintiff's right arm and wrist with a history of right carpal tunnel syndrome, and concluded that Plaintiff would be limited to no more than frequent use of his right hand for pushing, pulling, fine finger motor movements, and handling. (AR 196.)
On November 13, 2006, reviewing state agency physician Dr. M. Sohn found, like Dr. Yu, that Plaintiff could frequently use his right hand and arm in handling and fingering activities. (AR 240.)
A December 18, 2006 physical therapy referral note stated that Plaintiff's right carpal tunnel syndrome had improved, but that Plaintiff now complained of right shoulder tenderness. (AR 173.)
At the March 5, 2008 hearing, Dr. Alpern testified that Plaintiff "probably" had carpal tunnel syndrome, but remarked that it had never been appropriately diagnosed because nerve conduction studies to confirm the diagnosis had never been done. (AR 37.) In Dr. Alpern's opinion, Plaintiff had "something in the right hand that would restrict him." (AR 37.) Dr. Alpern concluded that, based on his review of the records, Plaintiff could lift 20 pounds occasionally and ten pounds frequently, and would be limited to occasional grasping and handling with his right hand.*fn1 (AR 38.)
It is clear from reading the ALJ's decision that he read and considered all of the available medical evidence. (AR 14-17.) Ultimately, he accepted Dr. Yu's opinion that Plaintiff could frequently use his right hand over Dr. Alpern's that he could only use it occasionally. (AR 16, 17.) In doing so, the ALJ noted that Dr. Alpern testified that Plaintiff's "carpal tunnel syndrome had not been fully diagnosed, in that no nerve conduction ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have made a significant discovery in understanding the way human embryonic stem cells function.
They explain nature's way of controlling whether these cells will renew, or will transform to become part of an ear, a liver, or any other part of the human body. The study is reported in the May 1 issue of the journal Cell.
The scientists say the finding bodes well for cancer research, since tumor stem cells are the engines responsible for the growth of tumors. The discovery is also expected to help with other diseases and injuries. The study describes nature's negative feedback loop in cell biology.
"We have found an element in the cell that controls 'pluripotency,' that is the ability of the human embryonic stem cell to differentiate or become almost any cell in the body," said senior author Kenneth S. Kosik, professor in the Department of Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology. Kosik is also co-director and Harriman Chair in Neuroscience Research of UCSB's Neuroscience Research Institute.
"The beauty and elegance of stem cells is that they have these dual properties," said Kosik. "On the one hand, they can proliferate they can divide and renew. On the other hand, they can also transform themselves into any tissue in the body, any type of cell in the body."
The research team includes James Thomson, who provided an important proof to the research effort. Thomson, an adjunct professor at UCSB, is considered the "father of stem cell biology." Thomson pioneered work in the isolation and culture of non-human primate and human embryonic stem cells. These cells provide researchers with unprecedented access to the cellular components of the human body, with applications in basic research, drug discovery, and transplantation medicine.
With regard to human embryonic stem cells, Kosik explained that for some time he and his team have been studying

Think yellow and make great gifts with the kids to give to friends and family. Put the decorated egg in a nicely decorated boks - Give the easter candy in a china-box. Decorate your cupcakes with yellow frosting and dyed coconut flour. Or let the kids sow cress and se how it grows every day, and maybe end up in a delicious egg sandwich. (foto: Sofie Helsted)
Take a closer look at this blog –
It takes you through a creative world for kids and their parents. It’s written
by Joel, he is an artist and dad with the love of making stuff/craft/art for
and with his kids.


Yesterday, the Project ABE Steering Committee headed to rural Nicollet County for it’s quarterly meeting. Mitch Davis of Davis Family Dairies hosted the group at their flagship location: New Sweden Dairy. New Sweden isn’t just a flagship facility for the Davis Family, but for the entire Dairy Industry. What makes this dairy different from others? It produces more than just milk, it produces talent.
Davis Family Dairies is halfway through a 10 year partnership with the University of Minnesota. According to their websites, “The University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Davis Family Dairies have joined forces to create a unique partnership between a public university and a private dairy. Through it, the University utilizes the dairy facilities for housing, teaching and demonstration in their program of teaching veterinary students, continuing education of industry professionals and researching emerging products and practices. The result is an academic facility and program of education and research that is merged into a commercial dairy committed to producing high-quality milk, economic success, environmental stewardship and outstanding animal welfare.”
So back to the High-Tech Cows. It really isn’t the cows that are high tech as much as it is the facility. A classroom wired with technology, dormitory style housing, temperature controlled birthing corrals, hospital surgery center, and a 72 stall rotating milking station that you have to see to believe. All of this put in place for the comfort of the animal, because unhappy cows don’t make milk.
The production of the facility is very impressive. One trip around the rotating milking station takes 7 minutes (the cows actually ride their own version of a horizontal Ferris wheel). Half of those 7 minutes they are being milked, the other half they are being prepped to be milked. New Sweden Dairy milks 2,800 cows, three times a day. That makes 60,000 gallons of milk.

How to Beat Cancer without Chemo
Pillar 3: Advanced and Targeted Treatment Options
Targeted Treatment Helps Cancer Patients to Live Longer, with a Better Quality of Life
In the past, cancer was thought to be a one-size-fits-all type of disease, and was tested and treated accordingly. However, scientists now know that every person’s cancer is comprised of a unique combination of genetically inherited gene mutations and cell mutations that have arisen as a result of lifestyle choices and/or environmental factors.
Thus, your cancer is truly unique to you.
"In every area of cancer treatment we have largely functioned on a one-size-fits-all basis because we didn’t have tools to do any better." – Dr. Robert Stein, consultant at University College London
Happily, science has evolved to provide us with tests that allow us to discover exactly what is causing your cancer to grow, in addition to literally thousands of targeted cancer therapy options. These are drugs that have been designed to remove only the cells containing your mutation, leaving your healthy cells unharmed, leading to survival rates that far surpass those of standard chemotherapy and radiation. (For example, studies have shown that tumour shrinkage rates and progression-free survival are greatly improved with precision oncology.)
Based on the most advanced medical science, this innovative approach to cancer treatment enables us to:
- Identify the source of your cancer
- Identify targeted therapies that will benefit you the most
- Give you less drug treatment than standard care
- Give you treatment that leaves your healthy cells alone, and therefore has fewer and less severe side effects
Standard Chemotherapy vs Targeted Therapy
Standard treatment for cancer usually involves surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy or some combination of these. Treatment with chemotherapy drugs and radiation aims to slow the growth of cancer, keep it from spreading, and kill any cancerous cells that have spread to other parts of the body (metastasized).
- Chemotherapy works by attacking cells that are actively growing and dividing.
- Radiation therapy kills cancer cells by damaging their genes and preventing them from growing and dividing.
- Both types of therapy can harm all cells that are growing and dividing in your body, including healthy cells.
- This often leads to harmful side effects, such as the potential for the creation of new mutations, in addition to common symptoms such as hair loss, nausea and fatigue.
It is to everyone’s benefit that science has evolved to offering a better, more effective form of cancer treatment: targeted cancer therapies.
New Developments in Cancer Research
Along the way, researchers have learned some useful information about how cancers work.
Medical science now shows that:
- Specific types of cancer are frequently associated with specific genetic mutations.
- While not every cancer will have the same mutations, a significant percentage of a certain type of cancer will have a similar mutation.
- Cancers with these mutations usually have a more predictable response to certain drug treatments, compared to cancers without these mutations.
- Most tumours typically have more than one mutation driving them.
So in order to ensure the most successful cancer treatment outcome, your doctor must be aware of all mutations that are present. Oncologists can (and do) often make a fair guess about one common mutation that’s likely present – but without information regarding the other mutations that are involved, the treatment plan will be based on guesswork and will be potentially wrong.
Cancer is the uncontrolled growth and division of abnormal cells, and there are multiple factors that can contribute to this uncontrolled growth.
Gene mutations may produce:
- The malfunctioning of certain proteins involved in controlling cell growth and maturation
- The malfunctioning of the DNA of the gene that codes for that protein
- A defective protein that cannot stop cell growth
- A protein with altered function that stimulates cell growth
These gene mutations have long been the subject of medical research for cancer innovation. Knowledge of gene mutations gives us a better understanding of cancers and how to develop effective drugs. For some time now the overarching goal in the medical research community has been to create better drugs (targeted cancer therapies) that:
- Disrupt a specific step in cancer growth
- Do minimal damage to normal cells surrounding the tumour
- Do minimal damage to normal cells throughout your body
Fortunately, the future is now here: targeted cancer therapies do exist, and new targeted cancer drugs are being developed daily.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer and wants to ensure they’re receiving treatment that’s been demonstrated to be most effective for their form of cancer, please contact CTOAM today.

Sometimes it's pretty easy to be able to recognise when someone is lying to you - but others can be far more adept when it comes to hiding the truth.
If there's any occupation that requires a sixth sense for finding the truth it's a lawyer, with the professionals expertly trained in picking apart lies to expose the real story.
And now trial lawyer Michael Mandell, who specialises in personal injury cases, has shared a simple way to trip up liars as they try to pull the wool over your eyes.
In a TikTok video that has been viewed 750,000 times and titled 'A trick to help you spot a liar', @Lawbymike explains that if you suspect someone's story, you should always ask them to run you through it again.
He says: "Truthful people add facts and remember more details as they repeat their story. While liars usually memorise their story and keep it the same.
"One trick is to ask them to tell their story in reverse; it will make them think harder and more trying equals more lying."
And that might not be the only telltale sign of a lie, after experts used a study to pinpoint one simple behavioural habit that could be a major red flag to hint we're not being told the full story.
Research found that when we lie we are more likely to copy the behaviour and body language of the person we are talking to - and the logic behind it makes a lot of sense.
Lying forces our brains to work overtime in a bid to ensure our story has no holes, and runs through endless possibilities we may be asked to keep up the pretence.
Our thoughts are so preoccupied with the lie that the control over our body language can often resort to mimicking what we see, as these actions can be done unconsciously and is less effort than thinking for ourselves.
Do you have any other tips to catch a liar? Let us know in the comments.

Korea DPR headed home from the AFC Asian Cup today after surrendering meekly at the group stage, picking up just one point and failing to score. The Chollima, who featured at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™, boast one of the continent's top strikers in Jong Tae-Se and were considered dark horses for the trophy.
But their campaign was ended yesterday by a 1-0 loss to reigning champions Iraq, following a 0-0 draw with United Arab Emirates and 1-0 defeat by eventual Group D winners Iran.
They needed all three points against the holders to make the last eight, but deservedly went a goal down midway through the first-half and rarely troubled goalkeeper Mohammed Kassid after that. Jo Tong-Sop, who was made the North Koreans' coach following South Africa 2010, believes it might be time for a rethink.
"We got good experience during this tournament," he said. "We learnt that defending is important but that attacking is more important. Using the experience gained in this tournament, we will try to be more attacking in the future."
Jo previously said that after the FIFA World Cup, where they were appearing for the first time since 1966, they had abandoned their tried-and-tested 5-3-2 formation for 4-4-2, in theory making them more attacking. But there is precious little sign the change has made any difference and despite pre-tournament pledges they would go on the offensive, Korea DPR again played on the break in all three matches in Doha.
However, the future is bright, if their youth sides are anything to go by. The U-16 and U-19 teams won their respective Asian titles last year, underlining their potential.
"Our U-20 team has good players technically, and also in defence and midfield, so we will try to combine the young players with the senior ones," Jo commented. "And we will try to display our abilities more in terms of attacking in the future."
Jo felt they might have got the win they so badly needed against Iraq had they kept the score level for longer. "We conceded the goal too early in the first half, this disrupted our tactics," he said. "In the second-half we improved and tried to make chances to score goals, but we lost the match 1-0.
"I think for the players, they had psychological problems and so were unable to read the match. Tactically they didn't do so well, especially when the other team played long and medium-range passes. We didn't react too quickly when we conceded the goal."

South Australia’s biotechnology research took a big leap forward as the $59 million Australian Research Centre for Cell Therapy was officially opened at the Mawson Lakes University on Wednesday, December 18.
According to the media release issued by the University of South Australia, the new state-of-the art Research Centre will concentrate its efforts on finding a way to turn a promising cell into a viable cell therapy.
The University’s Vice Chancellor, Professor David Lloyd says the CRC for Therapy Manufacturing will greatly assist in strengthening South Australia’s future technological development and economic growth.
“This is top end research directed at solving significant health problems and the outcomes from the CRC will have markets worldwide,” Prof Lloyd says.
“The fact that the University of South Australia is the lead institution in this venture is proof positive that this state has the skills and capacity to lead research and development that is world class.”
Managing Director for the CRC, Dr Sherry Kothari says the Centre will help the country to turn its R&D program into new material-based manufacturing to increase the affordability, accessibility and efficacy of the kinds of cell therapies vital to battling big health challenges such as diabetes.
“We are aiming to develop ways to deliver cell therapies for a range of previously incurable or intractable diseases and in the CRC we have top research and development partners,” Dr Kothari says.
“The goal of what we are doing is to bring together the very latest in materials science, cell biology, bioprocess engineering and clinical practice to build advanced treatments to cure and treat diseases that can respond to cell therapies.”
According to her, the opening of CRC for Cell Therapy Manufacturing brings a dose of optimism for the shaky South Australian industry and should serve as a model for what is possible through collaboration.
“Bringing together great minds, sound partnerships, a spirit of innovation and enterprise and the government support to make big things possible is a recipe for success,” she says.
“This is a $59 million project backed by $20 million from Government with the difference made up from cash and in-kind investment from industry and other partners and it is that investment partnership that gives us the opportunities to bring scientific innovation to life. The outcome will not only improve and save lives it will also build core expertise in biomedical manufacturing technologies in South Australia and make us a leader in one important aspect of future medicine.”
