The Buy Button Series:
A 60 Second Look Inside The Consumer Decision-Making Process:
Today We Look At:
What Are The Psychological Triggers That Lead Consumers To Impulse Buy?
As marketing professionals, understanding consumer behavior is pivotal to designing effective campaigns. One such behavior, impulse buying, has intrigued marketers for decades. Why do consumers sometimes deviate from their shopping lists, and make spontaneous purchases?
Several psychological triggers drive impulse buying:
- Instant Gratification: Living in the digital age, consumers have grown accustomed to instant gratification. This need for immediate reward makes them susceptible to spontaneous purchases. According to a study by Slickdeals, 84% of Americans confess to making an impulse buy at some time, with the average person spending over $5,000 a year on such unplanned purchases.
- Emotional Resonance: Often, products or ads evoke strong emotions – be it nostalgia, happiness, or a sense of luxury. Emotional marketing plays into our inherent desire for emotional fulfillment.
- The Fear of Missing Out (FOMO): Limited-time offers or ‘only a few left in stock’ prompts can push consumers to buy on the spot, fearing they might miss out on a good deal or unique product.
- Retail Environment: Ambient factors such as store lighting, music, and layout can subtly influence impulse purchases. In fact, Market research firm, Martec International, noted that over 50% of all purchases in certain categories (like cosmetics) are impulse buys.
- Cognitive Discounts: Our brains are wired to perceive discounts as saving money, even when we hadn’t planned the purchase. The mere sight of a ‘sale’ sign can make us think we’re making a smart financial decision.
As marketers, understanding these psychological triggers allows us to craft campaigns that tap into consumer impulse, leading to increased sales and stronger brand resonance. However, it’s crucial to ensure ethical marketing practices, ensuring consumers feel good about their purchases long after the initial impulse.


IHC suspends ban against top PTI officials on ECL
Islamabad High Court has removed ban from the top PTI officials over the Exit Control List.
PTI leaders got relief from the Islamabad link Court (IHC) on after it suspended the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) notification of a flight ban against them.
Former PM aides Shahbaz Gill, Shahzad Akbar had approached the IHC earlier in the day, requesting the high court to dismiss the ban. Later, the IHC also suspended the ban against former principal secretary Azam Khan, Imran's ex-focal person on digital media Dr Arslan Khalid, and Mohammad Nafees Gohar.
The IHC maintained that according to the petitioner, after the no-confidence vote against former prime minister Imran Khan, their names were placed on the Provisional National Identification List (PNIL), arguing that only those involved in heinous crimes could be put on the list.

Edna St. Vincent Millay was an American lyrical poet and playwright. She won poetry prizes from an early age, including the Pulitzer Prize in 1923, and went on to use verse as a medium for her feminist activism. She also wrote verse-dramas and a highly-praised opera The King's Henchman. Her novels appeared under the name Nancy Boyd, and she refused lucrative offers to publish them under her own name.
The poems in this were written at different points in Tennyson's life and reflect his range as a poet. "The Brook" was first published in 1855, while...

For the past 40 days, the US has surpassed 100,000 hospitalizations relating to the Covid-19 pandemic. While health officials across the country are doing their best to speed up vaccine distribution so that average Americans can begin receiving their dosages, a lack of federal action and planning is once again hindering the nation’s ability to heal from this pandemic.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration, spoke with the media recently about how America “really needs to get this vaccine out more quickly, because this really is our only tool for beating this pandemic.” Experts have been saying from the beginning that universal mask wearing, social distancing, and widespread vaccination is the only way this pandemic will fully reach its end. However, after ten months of nearly no enforcement of these procedures on a federal level, over 22 million Americans have been infected, and over 370,000 have died.
So far 22.1 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine has been distributed, and 6.7 million people have actually received their first dose, however, the initial plan was to get 20 million people vaccinated with their first dose by the end of 2020. Due to a complete lack of interest from the current president and his administration within the past two months, hundreds of thousands of Americans have continued to suffer while their government watched and made daily claims of a fraudulent and unfair election. The only new aide that the government has provided is a $600 stimulus check to every American, after nearly nine months of no other economic assistance.
The US hit a new record last week and surpassed 4,000 Covid-19 deaths in a single day. California alone is thought to be a major epicenter for the virus, after they added almost 50,000 new cases on Sunday alone, bringing the state total up to more than 2.6 million.
According to Johns Hopkins University, which has been recording data regarding this pandemic in America since March, within the first 11 days of 2021, 28,400 new Covid-19 deaths have been reported. At this current rate, more individuals could die from Covid-19 in January than any other month of this pandemic due to an extreme influx in holiday travel and lack of policy.
“We should expect to set new records for cases, hospitalizations, and deaths over the coming weeks. Policy action is urgently needed to mitigate the worst possible outcome.”
Joe Gerald, an associate professor at the University of Arizona, recently expressed great concern about the “inevitable arrival of the more transmissible” strain of Covid-19 that has appeared in the UK, and is thought to have been in the US since September. “If it gathers a foothold it will accelerate, lengthen, and deepen the outbreaks in Arizona and other states like it.”
The recent riot at the US Capitol will also likely lead to a “surge event” of new cases, hospitalizations and deaths due to the fact that a majority of Trump’s supporters are anti-mask, and the footage from the violent event clearly showed a crowd of hundreds of individuals not wearing a mask, mobbed together in a giant crowd.
Medical analyst Dr. Leana Wen recently shared a statement to the press about this reckless riot that will lead to even more death and infection: “It’s very likely they’re engaging in other risky behaviors there and potentially seeding coronavirus all around the country, wherever they came from. I hope that everyone who participated in those events will go back and quarantine and get tested.”
Many of the rioters who have been identified from images online but have yet to be arrested are being placed on No Fly lists, and local authorities for individuals who came from out of state to participate in the riot have been notified of their citizens involvement in the act of domestic terror that took place last week.

Let's be clear about this, I'm rather closely involved in Open Circle. I set it up, then invited various other people to get involved. At the end of the day, it's my initiative but relies on the inspiration and hard work of lots of others.
The Open Circle team consists of people who love books, who love reading and who also write in one form or another.
Two of the Board are academics, another has her own PR business, we have a graphic artist and a dancer.
Everyone shares the same vision, to help writers and readers connect, to encourage writers, to promote good books and not only our own.
The ways we're going to set about these worthy objectives are dependant on resources. In order to kick start the project, gain some experience and be able to put together sensible and fair deals for authors Open Circle is publishing my first three Jenny Parker crime thrillers.
The first, Due Diligence, is out in April.
The proceeds, hopefully plentiful, will go towards the promotion of Open Circle and my second book.
Once we know what we can offer, we'll be seeking out authors with good books and offering them the same services as a major publisher but on much fairer terms.
If you're a reader, you'll be able to participate in lots of ways.
If you're a writer, Open Circle will be an exciting resource for you.
Your first step is to follow this blog. Then you'll be with us every step of the way.
Did I mention that one of the most successful writers in the world is fully committed to supporting Open Circle?

Amid mixed signal of growth post the demonetisation period, the Indian job market seems to be posed to pick up where it left off. Leading recruitments and staffing firms have noted that hiring across several sectors is likely to increase by 50% as compared to the November-December levels, says a news report.
Leading recruitment and staffing firms like TeamLease Services, ABC Consultants, Quess Corp, Antal International, PeopleStrong and The HeadHunters have said that organisations in varied sectors like banking, consumer, infrastructure, retail and engineering, have started eyeing a bump in hiring activities. Company heads and experts expressed major confidence and optimism in hiring activity in the coming months. Hiring is expected pick up for all levels, from entry to senior levels.
With remonetisation slowly bringing back liquidity, and consumer spending witnessing revival post a slump, organisations in FMCG, retail, consumer goods, durables, logistics, pharmaceuticals, banking and auto are expected to ramp up hiring efforts, which had been put on hold, or suspended altogether, post demonetisation. Experts believe that other than real estate and luxury goods, most other sectors are on their way to swift recovery, and are likely to bounce back soon. This means that hiring goals that had taken a backseat will now be the focus, and some leaders expect more hiring activity this year, as compared to last year. Despite uncertain global environment, which could be detrimental to the IT sectors, experts are of the opinion that the impact will be muted, as digital and mobility technologies and payment banking are expected to witness impressive growth, leading to increased hiring.
Hiring in the economy suffered a severe blow, across sectors, as nearly 86% of the currency was pulled from the system instantaneously, leading to massive shortages of cash. Organisations had chosen to focus on dealing with this impact in the last few months, but now that positive signs of recovery are visible, operations are also slowly inching towards normalcy. Optimism among recruiters and staffers is surely another signal that recovery is well underway, and things will get back to pre-demonetisation levels soon. However, this is no reason to get complacent for the economy still needs support to get up and running again. Reports show that some essential indicators, which measure things much bigger than demonetisations’ impact, are still sluggish and struggling. While several proposals of the budget are sure to hasten the speed of recovery, there is no doubt that a lot needs to be done.
To that extent, efforts to attract investment need to be ramped up considerably, and policies to ensure that those employed in the agrarian sector enjoy the benefits of the bumper monsoon last year need to be in place, which in turn will ensure positive domestic consumption. Furthermore, conducive environment and opportunities need to be presented to the industrial and services sector – especially MSMEs – to ensure a speedy recovery, and reinforce that sentiment that the worst is over. At the end of the day, demonetisation was a disruptive policy, and now that the disruption is behind us, the dust is beginning to settle down. It will be exciting, interesting and challenging to propel the economy forward in globally turbulent times, and the economy, government and organisations have their task cut out ahead of them.

Just a fun post tonight, having bumped into these wonderful pieces of music performed by the High and Mighty on Seasame Street. Below are Yo Yo Ma (who winds up very bluesy), Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder (doing an almost seven minute long version of Superstition), Tito Puente, Los Lobos, Randy Travis, and Johnny Cash. Enjoy! Stevie.


A startup called Remix that builds foolproof, drag-and-drop tools for urban planners raised $15m to expand its services.
Now that America’s city streets have morphed into mobility minefields filled with scooters, bikes, buses, and weird-looking hoverboards, traditional transportation planning has become trickier than ever. That’s where Remix’s platform comes in.
New cities need new systems
“This is an industry that has changed faster in the last 5 years than it did in the last 50,” Tiffany Chu, COO and co-founder, told TechCrunch. “One of our challenges is explaining to people… what are the impacts of certain decisions around the way things have always been?”
Today, public buses share crowded streets — making it difficult for outdated urban planning models to predict how adjusting one knob will impact the whole operation.
So Remix’s platform offers tools for urban planners to quickly forecast how adding a single bike lane or bus route would impact a city’s overall traffic.
Drag, drop… design a city
Remix’s system allows urban planners to model complex bus, train, car, and bike routes using a drag and drop menu that could have come from a 6-year-old’s video game.
The system’s success is measured by a tiny, anthropomorphized icon named Jane: By dropping Jane on a map, engineers can model how far Jane could travel in 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes based on recent changes.
Remix’s system, which is currently in use by 300 cities, already shapes the mobility of 100m people, and with its new funding the company hopes to Remix it up even more.

The Tigers were trailing 1-0 in the sixth when Andy Dirks tied it with a solo blast off Indians starter Corey Kluber.
Torii Hunter followed with a double and Cabrera then golfed a pitch over the center field fence, putting Detroit ahead to stay.
The long ball was Cabrera's 12th of the year and came after he socked three round-trippers in Sunday's loss to Texas. The Tigers star raised his MLB-best RBI total to 49 -- he also leads the majors with a .384 batting average.
Max Scherzer (6-0) baffled the Tribe on one run over eight innings, allowing only two hits while walking one and striking out seven as the second-place Tigers drew to within 1 1/2 games of American League Central-leading Cleveland.
Kluber (3-3) ended up yielding three runs on eight hits over 6 1/3 frames.
Michael Brantley got the only RBI for the Indians, who dropped the first of a two-game set.

ECU softballers pound out 17 hits to get splitApril 14, 2012
ARKADELPHIA, Ark. – Cami Correa and Desiree’ Nordie pounded out four hits each while Emily Kennemer totaled three as East Central University salvaged a Great American Conference softball doubleheader split with a 13-1 rout of host Ouachita Baptist on the run rule in six innings.
The win came after ECU dropped a 3-2 decision to host OBU in the opener.
The split moved ECU to 20-15 on the season and 10-10 in the GAC, while OBU went to 17-24 and 5-15.
The two teams are scheduled to meet in another doubleheader, beginning at 1 p.m., on Sunday in Arkadelphia, Ark.
ECU 13, Ouachita Baptist 1 (Game 2)
ECU compiled a whopping 17 hits as Correa and Kennemer each homered.
Correa went 4-for-5 with a double in the first inning, single in the third, two-run homer in the fourth and double in the seventh. Nordie was a perfect 4-for-4 with a walk, RBI single in the first inning, bunt-single in the third, double in the fourth, walk in the fifth and RBI double in the sixth.
Kennemer was 3-for-5 with a single in the second inning, double in the fifth and two-run homer in the sixth.
Also contributing big offensively for the visiting Lady Tigers was Shelby Simmons (2-for-5 with an RBI and three runs scored).
Brianna Nunley (10-6) tossed all six innings for the win as she scattered five hits, walked three and struck out one. The only OBU run was unearned.
ECU was also helped by four OBU errors as only seven of the ECU runs were earned.
An RBI single each from Nordie and Chelsea Patterson gave the visiting Lady Tigers a 2-0 lead in the first inning.
ECU went up 4-1 in the third off a Brianna Baron RBI single and error in which Lacey Williams was credited with an RBI.
Then in the third, Simmons reached on an error to lead off the inning and Correa homered for a 6-1 ECU advantage. Baron later hit a sacrifice fly to center, creating a 7-1cushion for ECU.
An error in the fifth inning upped ECU’s lead to 8-1 and then a five-run sixth inning, off five hits and with the help of an error made it 13-1.
Williams hit a one-out triple before Kennemer later hit a two-run homer, her GAC-leading 11th of the season. Two other runs scored off an error in the inning and Nordie added an RBI double to close out the scoring.
Starter Abbi Frakes (6-12) was charged with the pitching loss for OBU after lasting just 3.2 innings.
Sara Strassemeyer had two of the five hits for the hosts.
Ouachita Baptist 3, ECU 2 (Game 1)
Ali Manship (9-8) suffered the tough-luck pitching loss, despite giving up just two earned runs off six hits through six complete innings. She walked three and struck out three.
ECU fell into a 3-0 hole before Manship tried to help her own cause with a two-run double in the sixth.
An error led to an unearned run for OBU in the first inning and a two-run single by Bailey Sanders made it 3-0 in the third inning. Bailey was credited with all three runs batted in for the hosts.
Rayn House (10-10) got the pitching win for the hosts as she worked all seven innings, allowing just four hits and one walk while striking out five as both ECU runs were unearned.
Patterson went 2-for-3 from the plate for ECU in a losing cause.

The chairman, Association of Catholic Medical Practitioners of Nigeria (ACMPN), Owerri Archdiocese, Dr Prince Philip C. Njemanze, has reaffirmed the need for precautionary approach towards consuming genetically modified organisms (GMO) foods and planting the crops.
He made the submission at the quarterly press briefing of the ACMPN on Monday, May 21, 2018.
The ACMPN Annual General Scientific Conference had published earlier the observations arising from the 12th scientific conference and annual general meeting with the theme “Genetically-Modified Organisms: How Harmful, Harmless or Beneficial?”, that took place at the Catholic Institute of West Africa (CIWA), Port Harcourt from July 6 to 8, 2017. In attendance were medical doctors, scientific experts in biotechnology and nutrition especially those concerned with food safety regulation.
The general consensus was on the need for precautionary approach towards the introduction of GMO c rops into our food system. The participants expressed concern on the rapid introduction of GMO crops into our food system without adequate assurance of safety and declared it highly immoral and a threat to food security.
Experts agreed that food safety certification usually takes several decades since effects take place at molecular genetic level before subsequent clinical manifestation. It is therefore irresponsible for any organisation or association, medical or scientific to give a risk free certification for any GMO crop to be used as food prior to long-term effects monitoring and continuing experimentation. Moreover, scientific studies in animals fed with GMO foods have shown detectable biological changes of cellular transformation into cancer cells or other forms of biochemical malfunction leading to liver failure and kidney failure. Studies in humans show strong association of GMO food with allergic reactions and mental diseases such as autism spectrum disorders.
Dr Njemanze said: “The provision of unsafe food is no solution to hunger, but rather results in even greater health hazards. The use of transgenic crops which implies changing genetic material could be used for good and bad purposes. For example, the insertion of a sterilising gene called Epicyte gene in Corn flex could sterilise children of school age using Corn flex in a school feeding programme, leading to loss of generations of people in Nigeria. These genetic changes are not reversible. There should be heightened attention to food safety in schools with feeding programs. Moreover, school feeding poisoning linked to insecticides have occurred in India.”
Experts deplore the unacceptable influx of GMO crops and foods into Nigeria. Nigeria is a signatory to the United Nations Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, which is a legally binding protocol to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted by unanimous consent with 135 countries present. The Protocol covers the “trans-boundary movement, transit, handling and use of all living modified organisms that may have adverse effects on the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity, taking into account risks to human health”.
The Nigerian Government established the National Biosafety Management Agency (NBMA) in 2015 to provide a regulatory framework, institutional and administrative mechanism for safety measure in the application of modern bio-technology in Nigeria with a view to preventing any adverse effect on human health, animals, plants and the environment. However, the NMBA is grossly ill-equipped, understaffed and has no present capacity to perform her mandate. This is unfortunate since food security is the most important of all national security concerns. The ACMPN therefore advocates increased funding for equipment and higher level of human resources preparedness for the NMBA.
ACMPN affirms that none of the major challenges that Nigeria faces in the agricultural sector can be addressed by deploying GMO or Hybrid seeds in the fields.
“The challenges mitigating against development of agriculture (poor transportation, land reform, lack of amenities in rural agricultural settings, lack of irrigation technology, lack of fertiliser, poor use of organic farming, lack of preservation technology, poor cost management, improper export and import controls, lack of subsidies and loans, aging manpower, lack of electricity, societal perception, etc) would not be addressed by deploying GMO or Hybrid crops.
!Rather, new and more complex problems could be introduced including long-term environmental and health hazards (cancers, allergies, infertility, autism spectrum disorders, ecosystem disequilibrium), which has been demonstrated by several groups of scientists in evidence-based studies.
Similar precautions have been issued in a report on GMO by a scientific experts’ committee setup by Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) along with the Nigerian Supreme Council on Islamic Affairs(NSCIA) under the aegis of the Nigerian Inter-Religious Council (NIREC),” stated Njemanze.

A Barisan Nasional supporter whose house is situated within 50 metres of the ‘no-campaign’ zone was forced to shutdown their “pondok panas” after a complaint lodged by PKR’s taskforce.
Prior to the arrival of the task force BN supporters was allowed to wear dress/T-shirts with their party logo. Even voters were allowed to walk into the house to check their electorate details.
After immense pressure, the Election Commission and police was forced to place signage declaring the area a campaign-free zone and remove all posters by both parties. The police also demanded all BN party workers to remain inside their houses or change their dress.
Earlier, an election commission officer refused to provide an official complaint form and instead asked PKR to get it from the district office . No voters was allowed into houses to avoid vote-buying activities.

Sonification of a 25-parameter dropout layer in a multilayer perceptron architecture training on one epoch of the MNIST dataset.
Neural networks are huge matrices of numbers. When we train a network, these numbers are first initially randomized. Then, sample vectors are multiplied through the network, compared against their expected outputs, and then the error is fed back through the network to recompute the numbers. With thousands of iterations, the parameters of the network gradually converge to a (hopefully) good predictor. In this piece, each of the nodes one of the layers of a multi-layer perceptron network is mapped onto different musical parameters during a training process on the archetypical "MNIST" dataset, a collection of handwriting samples of the arabic numerals. Each of the parameters, over the course of the piece, moves from a state of random chance to an almost perfect classifier of (a narrow subset of) human handwriting.

Britney Spears has taken to social media to confirm that she has sadly suffered a miscarriage.
During her recent conservatorship court case, Spears frequently stated that she wanted to get on with her life without such strict controls and pursue having a child.
Spears claimed that at the time her father had prevented her from getting married and having a child as part of the terms of her conservatorship after he made her have an IUD to prevent pregnancy.
Her 13-year conservatorship under her father’s control was ended back in November. As her attorney, Mathew Rosengart said outside the courthouse: “This is a monumental day for Britney Spears. What’s next for Britney, and this is the first time this could be said for about a decade, is up to one person: Britney.”
Thus, there was cause for celebration back in April when Spears announced on Instagram that she was expecting her third child, and first with her fiancé Sam Ashgari.
However, the star sadly announced late on Saturday (May 14th): “It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that we have lost our miracle baby early in the pregnancy.”
Continuing: “Our love for each other is our strength. We will continue trying to expand our beautiful family,” she added.” We are grateful for all of your support. We kindly ask for privacy during this difficult moment.”

The family home you’ve loved for so long has finally hit the point of no return. The kitchen and bathrooms need updating, the foundations are starting to feel a bit shonky, and the roof tiles have seen better days and aren’t holding up well when it gets a bit rainy.
For so long, this situation would have called for a contemporary renovation to bring the property up to your high standards. But in 2022, the cost of renovation and construction across the nation has risen at an alarming rate, making the option of going to market and purchasing a new home more appealing than renovating an old one. And the numbers don’t lie.
At the end of 2020, the average Victorian housing project cost around $245,000 according to the Victorian Building Authority. At the end of 2021, that number rose to $315,000.
CoreLogic’s Cordell Construction Index (CCCI) for the 2nd quarter of 2022 showed national residential construction costs increased 10.0% over the 12 months to June 2022, which is the highest annual growth rate on record outside of when the GST was introduced. Victoria’s CCCI recorded a 2.5% increase in construction costs over the June quarter, up from 2.4% over the March quarter.
These numbers are no real surprise considering the surging cost of materials. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics for the year ending March 2022, steel rose by 42.1%, timber, board, and joinery products were up 20.6%, metals used for garage doors and aluminium windows shot up 16.2%, and electrical equipment was up 13.9%. The rising costs have even seen some major Victorian builders go into liquidation.
“There’s also no reprieve on the supply side either with a lack of materials, elevated fuel costs and broader inflationary pressures. All of these factors have an impact and are likely to push building costs higher for some time yet,” said Corelogic Research Director Tim Lawless.
Costs asides, there are many other factors which are making it a nightmare for renovators and builders at the moment. There is a large timber shortage nationwide which is set to delay home building and renovations through to 2023. There is also a long wait for trades to actually carry out work. So many companies have a backlog of jobs to be completed (many halted by restrictions during COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020-2021) and these companies are still playing catchup, meaning home owners are waiting months for availability.
All this considered, should you renovate or extend your current home or even build a new one, or sell and buy? The latter certainly seems the better option going into the 2nd half of 2022.

The aim of this study is to compare the prevalence and intensity of symptoms and problems with functioning between women and men with inoperable lung cancer (LC) during 3 months post-diagnosis. One hundred and fifty-nine patients completed the EORTC QLQ C-30 + LC13 at three time points: close to diagnosis and prior to treatment, and one, and 3 months later. Descriptive cross-sectional analyses and longitudinal analyses using repeated measure ANOVA were conducted. These patients reported many and intense symptoms and problems with functioning. The most salient finding from the cross-sectional analysis was that women reported both more, and more intense problems with emotional functioning close to diagnosis. Statistically significant improvements over time were found in both men and women with regard to emotional functioning, dyspnea, insomnia, cough, pain in arm/shoulder, while physical functioning, fatigue, constipation, dysphagia, peripheral neuropathy and alopecia deteriorated significantly over time. The longitudinal analyses suggest that, with the exception of emotional functioning, gender differences were not only related to biological sex alone, but were also found to be related to other components of the patients’ life situation, such as education, age, civil status and type of LC. Sensitivity to different symptom experiences and responses to those experiences between and within women and men is also necessary in the management of symptoms in patients with inoperable LC.

Robots enhance mobility for visually and physically impaired, improve treatment for atrial fibrillation
Three projects have been awarded funding by the National Institutes of Health to develop innovative robots that work cooperatively with people and adapt to changing environments to improve human capabilities and enhance medical procedures. Funding for these projects totals approximately $2.4 million over the next five years, subject to the availability of funds.
The awards mark the second year of NIH’s participation in the National Robotics Initiative (NRI), a commitment among multiple federal agencies to support the development of a new generation of robots that work cooperatively with people, known as co-robots.
“These projects have the potential to transform common medical aids into sophisticated robotic devices that enhance mobility for individuals with visual and physical impairments in ways only dreamed of before,” said NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. “In addition, as we continue to rely on robots to carry out complex medical procedures, it will become increasingly important for these robots to be able to sense and react to changing and unpredictable environments within the body. By supporting projects that develop these capabilities, we hope to increase the accuracy and safety of current and future medical robots.”
NIH is participating in the NRI with the National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. NIH has funded three projects to help develop co-robots that can assist researchers, patients, and clinicians.
A Co-Robotic Navigation Aid for the Visually Impaired: The goal is to develop a co-robotic cane for the visually impaired that has enhanced navigation capabilities and that can relay critical information about the environment to its user. Using computer vision, the proposed cane will be able to recognize indoor structures such as stairways and doors, as well as detect potential obstacles. Using an intuitive human-device interaction mechanism, the cane will then convey the appropriate travel direction to the user. In addition to increasing mobility for the visually impaired and thus quality of life, methods developed in the creation of this technology could lead to general improvements in the autonomy of small robots and portable robotics that have many applications in military surveillance, law enforcement, and search and rescue efforts. Cang Ye, Ph.D., University of Arkansas at Little Rock (co-funded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering and the National Eye Institute)
MRI-Guided Co-Robotic Active Catheter: Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heartbeat that can increase the risk of stroke and heart disease. By purposefully ablating (destroying) specific areas of the heart in a controlled fashion, the propagation of irregular heart activity can be prevented. This is generally achieved by threading a catheter with an electrode at its tip through a vein in the groin until it reaches the patient’s heart. However, the constant movement of the heart as well as unpredictable changes in blood flow can make it difficult to maintain consistent contact with the heart during the ablation procedure, occasionally resulting in too large or too small of a lesion. The aim is to develop a co-robotic catheter that uses novel robotic planning strategies to compensate for physiological movements of the heart and blood and that can be used while a patient undergoes MRI—an imaging method used to take pictures of soft tissues in the body such as the heart. By combining state-of-the art robotics with high-resolution, real-time imaging, the co-robotic catheter could significantly increase the accuracy and repeatability of atrial fibrillation ablation procedures. M. Cenk Cavusoglu, Ph.D., Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland (funded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering)
Novel Platform for Rapid Exploration of Robotic Ankle Exoskeleton Control: Wearable robots, such as powered braces for the lower extremities, can improve mobility for individuals with impaired strength and coordination due to aging, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, or stroke. However, methods for determining the optimal design of an assistive device for use within a specific patient population are lacking. This project proposes to create an experimental platform for an assistive ankle robot to be used in patients recovering from stroke. The platform will allow investigators to systematically test various robotic control methods and to compare them based on measurable physiological outcomes. Results from these tests will provide evidence for making more effective, less expensive, and more manageable assistive technologies. Stephen G. Sawicki, Ph.D., North Carolina State University, Raleigh; Steven Collins, Ph.D., Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh (co-funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research and the National Science Foundation)
These projects are supported by the grants EB018117-01; EB018108-01; NR014756-01; from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), the National Eye Institute (NEI), and the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) and by award #1355716 from the National Science Foundation.

Heat olive oil in a heavy, large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks and the garlic and stir. Add the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the artichokes, stock, salt, and pepper and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
Using a handheld immersion blender, or in a blender in batches*, puree the soup. Add the 2 tablespoons mascarpone and blend again to combine.
Ladle the soup into serving bowls.
*When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
Gently toss everything together. Place a good spoonful on top of the finished soup and drizzle with olive oil.

Hi! To start off, please tell us your name, where you’re from, and what you write.
Hello. I’ m Paula Martin, I live in the north west of England, and I write contemporary romances (usually with some intrigue or mystery combined with the romance).
How did you become an author? Please share a bit of your journey with us.
The first romance novel I wrote was accepted by the first publisher I sent it to (Mills and Boon) – but that was fifty years ago! I had four novels published in the 60s and 70s, but then real life (bringing up my two daughters, plus a full-time job as a history teacher) didn’t leave me much time for writing, apart from magazine stories. After taking early retirement from teaching, I started writing novels again. I had nine novels published between 2011 and 2017, but my publisher closed last year, and I had to find a new publisher.
What are you working on now? Do you have a recent or upcoming release?
So far my new publisher has republished my four novels set in Ireland (the ‘Mist Na Mara’ series), also Her Only Option, set in Egypt, was republished in May 2018.
My newest novel, Irish Shadows, will be published in June 2018 (currently available on pre-order for only 99c/99p). Although it is Book 5 in the series, it is a stand alone novel, as are the other four novels.
I’m now having a break from Ireland, and working on a new novel (as yet untitled), which is a ‘reunion’ romance in which the hero and heroine need to resolve a betrayal in the past.
Who is a person you greatly admire and why?
Difficult to choose just one, but I think Helen Keller is an amazing example of triumph over adversity. Her world was one of darkness and silence, and yet somehow she rose above her extraordinary difficulties, and became a source of inspiration to so many others. Such a wonderful example to us all to achieve whatever we can, despite whatever problems we may have in our lives.
Please tell us about your favorite holiday and why.
I am tempted to say my many visits to Ireland during the past 10 years, but as I have written about that in my blog, I’ll choose my visit to Egypt in 2010 instead. This had been on my ‘bucket list’ for many years, but even so it exceeded all my expectations. I had to pinch myself when I finally stood in the Valley of the Kings, burial place of so many of the Egyptian pharaohs. Entering Tutankhamen’s tomb was almost surreal, as I’d read so much about Howard Carter’s search for and subsequent discovery of the tomb. I could hardly believe I was actually ‘there’ in that small tomb where he found so many treasures. Another highlight was a dawn visit to Abu Simbel: watching the sun rise above Lake Nasser and seeing the huge carved statues at the entrance of the temples change colour from grey to gold. This visit inspired my novel, Her Only Option, which combines the magical romance of a Nile cruise with the mystery of a Pharaoh’s tomb (and some threatening intrigue, too).
Speed round! Say the first thing that comes to mind!
City, suburb, or small-town?
Suburb, with access to both city and surrounding countryside.
Dark chocolate, light chocolate, or white chocolate?
Any chocolate! If pushed, I’d probably opt for dark chocolate.
Alpha, beta, or both?
Alpha minus/beta plus, combining the better qualities of both.
Wine, whiskey or punch?
May I have lager instead, please?
Cowboy boots, biker boots, or flip-flops?
Prefer hiking boots!
Leather, lace, or silk?
Silk (as long as I don’t have to iron it!)
Any last words before we say goodbye?
Thank you so much for setting up this site. I’m really looking forward to being a part of it, and to getting to know the other authors here – and the readers, of course.

Wide Sliding Glass Patio Doors – In previous couple of years, there continues to be a steep rise in the demand for sliding doors for windows. With the rise in demand, makers have given their consumers in sliding doors to its consumers, various alternatives. Folding sliding doors can open up to six meters or more simply because they are fitted right into a panel that fold and may slide. This provides more space for light and air to you and you have to utilize less for the framework of the window.
Sliding doors are inspired in the French slipping verandas which have the capacity to transform the opening and then open a room to exterior. This type of doors is the latest selection of modern houses and new buildings as they give a selection of expansion of the room. Houses that have gardens prefer shift doors because it helps them to merge the room or house and their gardens.
Where you desire a broader place, these aren’t just for areas however they are also perfect for areas where you need more sunshine and fresh area. The glass used in new innovative slide doors might help in reducing the heating declines as efficient solar gain is provided by them. When you go to buy these doors then you got an ample variety of alternatives in the stuff as well as colour.
Aluminum chute doors use thermally broken, strong and durable aluminum for this particular function. Such doors are used for several years in resorts and restaurants. They are of sliding doors that have been used in both commercial and domestic places, the older types. Top that’s guide rollers is used by the system intended for the purpose and all the weight is put on the base. In this manner the simple operation of opening and closing of the door is reached.

|Intro||French actress and comedian|
|Field||Film, TV, Stage & Radio Music|
|Birth||2 August 1955, Montbrison, France|
Muriel Robin is a French actress. She won an International Emmy Award for Best Actress in 2007 and received a nomination for a César Award in 2001 and six nominations for a Molière Award.
Muriel Robin is the youngest of three children of Antoine Robin and Aimée Rimbaud, who owned shoe-shops in Montbrison. She had two sisters, Nydia and Martine. In 1960, the family moved to Saint-Étienne. When she was very young, she liked to make people laugh and dreamed of becoming a singer. After a lacklustre school career and a love of parties, she ended up failing her Baccalaureate twice in a row. Unsure of which career to follow, she started to sell shoes in one of the family's three shops, without being really motivated.
In 1977, aged 22, she left Saint-Étienne for Paris, taking a course in dramatic arts at Cours Florent, the entry college for the National Superior Conservatory for Dramatic Arts, in Paris. She left as Conservatory Laureate, and returned to sell shoes again in Saint-Étienne
In 1981, she joined Roger Louret, whom she had met in Paris, in Monclar, with his theatre company, Les Baladins en Agenais. Notable people that she met there include Elie Semoun and Annie Grégorio. In 1983, she returned to Paris with Annie Grégorio to work at the Petit Théâtre de Bouvard., where she also met Didier Bénureau. She came up against the authoritarian methods of Philippe Bouvard, but, even so, he gave her a part in a play he had written, Double Foyer. Following that, she played in a role co-written with Didier Bénureau, Maman ou Donne-moi ton linge, je fais une machine, (Mother, or, Give me your laundry, I am washing a load), in 1986, in Avignon, and in 1987 in Paris, at the Théâtre de Dix heures. The play was later shown in Monclar at the Théâtre de Poche. She became known to the wider public, towards the end of the 1980s through a television programme called La Classe, broadcast by FR3 (which became France 3). Muriel Robin met and became good friends with Pierre Palmade. They created her first one-woman-show together, Les majorettes se cachent pour mourir, in 1988, directed by Roger Louret. This programme was a success and pushed Robin into the limelight.
During the 1990s, Robin appeared in numerous plays including Tout m’Enerve, Bedos-Robin a collaboration with Roger Louret, Feu la Ma La Mère, and On Purge Bébé. She also spent some time presenting her work on radio, on Europe 1, with her programme, Tout Robin. In 1997, she obtained her first role in cinema, replacing Valérie Lemercier in Les Couloirs du temps : Les Visiteurs 2 by Jean-Marie Poiré. The same year she wrote and directed with Pierre Palmade in the play, Ils s'aiment,(They Love Each Other) played by Pierre Palmade and Michèle Laroque, which was a notable success with the public and received a nomination for the Molière for the Best One-Man-Show or Sketch Show.
In May, 2000, she announced that she would finish with the genre of the one-woman-show and concentrate on her profession as a comedian, but also that year, took her first big role in cinema in the eponymous role of Marie-Line, by Medhi Charef. Other roles on stage and screen followed, in the following years.
Support for charity
Between 1992 and 2007, Muriel Robin was active in supporting concerts by the Enfoirés given for "the Restos du Cœur" created by Coluche and of which she became a sponsor until 2007. In 2001 she became equally involved with the journalist Marine Jacquemin in "La Chaine de l’Espoir" (The Chain of Hope) organised by the French Medical Institute for "L'Enfant de Kaboul" (The child of Kabul), in Afghanistan. This hospital opened in 2005.
