A documentary aimed at removing a preservative compound used in some vaccines administered in the United States premiered Wednesday in Hollywood before it goes on a nationwide tour.
“Trace Amounts” debuted at the TCL Chinese Theatre and is only playing in Los Angeles for one night.
In the film, director Eric Gladen delves into his experience with thimerosal, a mercury preservative commonly found in the flu vaccine and in very small amounts he claims are in other vaccines.
Gladen believes it was those preservatives from his tetanus vaccine that may have left him with neurological disorders associated with autism.

We read with great interest the article by Mascherbauer et al. (1), in which the relationship between mean pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) was analyzed in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
We offer the following 4 comments regarding the mechanisms of discrepancy between mean PAWP and LVEDP:
1. PAWP is sometimes equated with pulmonary capillary hydrostatic pressure, but as we described previously, this scenario is not always true (2, Online Ref. 1). In alveolocapillary obstruction, pulmonary capillary hydrostatic pressure exceeds left atrial (LA) pressure, but PAWP remains comparable to LA pressure, which contrasts with the authors’ speculation. Wedging the pulmonary arterial catheter leads, in most cases, to a static column of blood between the catheter tip and an equally large pulmonary vein, even when the alveolocapillary membrane is thickened or the venular bed is obstructed (2). Therefore, PAWP corresponds to the pressure in the large pulmonary veins and, consequently, to the LA pressure rather than the pressure in the capillaries and the pulmonary venules. When the obstruction is at the capillary or post-capillary level, PAWP may be damped and featureless with attenuated A and V waves, because the LA pressure gets retrogradely transmitted through this obstruction, but still correlates with the LA pressure.
2. The discrepancy between mean PAWP and LVEDP may rather be explained by the discrepancy between mean LA pressure and LVEDP, which depends on the size of the V-wave and, therefore, on the degree of clinical decompensation of HFpEF (Figure 1) (3–5). In left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction with normal LA pressure, LV pressure is normal throughout diastole but increases after A-wave, a result of impaired LV compliance; similarly, PAWP is overall normal and only increases in end-diastole after A-wave, explaining why mean PAWP (averaged throughout the cardiac cycle) may be lower than end-diastolic PAWP and LVEDP.
In the more decompensated stage of LV diastolic dysfunction with elevated LA pressure, there is a mismatch between the LA compliance and the overwhelming LA volume, leading to PAWP elevation throughout the cardiac cycle, X-descent flattening, and V-wave enlargement, even in the absence of mitral regurgitation (3,4). Mean PAWP may exceed LVEDP by an amount proportional to the amplitude and duration of V-wave.
This hemodynamic relationship may explain why PAWP is a strong prognostic marker yet potentially a weaker diagnostic marker than LVEDP in clinically compensated patients. It also explains why the sole determination of PAWP may misclassify a significant subset of pulmonary venous hypertension as pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension, as shown in a large series (Online Ref. 2).
3. The reduced carbon monoxide diffusion capacity may be the result of the elevated PAWP and the aforementioned pathophysiology, rather than the cause of it. In fact, the alveolocapillary congestion that results from the elevated pulmonary venous pressure may reduce the carbon monoxide diffusion capacity.
4. Atrial fibrillation (AF), which is highly prevalent in this study, further alters the PAWP–LVEDP relationship. In AF, atrial compliance is reduced. Moreover, in AF, the loss of atrial contraction reduces end-diastolic emptying and, thus, the atrial volume increases in systole and overwhelms the reduced atrial compliance, leading to V-wave augmentation (Online Ref. 3). Consequently, PAWP more readily exceeds LVEDP. In fact, a recent study has shown that, in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization for the evaluation of pulmonary hypertension, PAWP generally surpasses LVEDP in AF, whereas the opposite is true in sinus rhythm (Online Ref. 4).
In summary, PAWP may be higher or lower than LVEDP in HFpEF, and the discrepancies may be explained by the rhythm and the LV and LA compliances.

As the environment for our 13th Age campaign crystalises, one of the key elements is the vast Stonewood itself. The concept is a truly immense woodland of rolling hills with a rocky ground that manifests in tall stones that the giant trees grown on and around.
This is the lightning sketch I did to explore the idea
Next step is a whole raft of reference images like these babies. Most of these are photos of some fascinating real places, but there are some nice concept pieces from Snow White, Brave and such.
I have hugely fond memories of the original Eastman and Laird Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic, the roleplaying game and several of the TV and film adaptations that have come so far. Well we now have the first little trailer for the upcoming movie (produced by Michael Bay as he brings his action signature to the turtles). I am hoping this is a fun ride and look forward to seeing all the fun later in the year...
It would be awesome if there was some nice concept art released by the studio, but looks like we need to be content with the short snippets in the teaser trailer.
While we are here why dont we throw a few more groovy trailers for upcoming films with a comic heritage:
For our new fantasy RPing game (now using the 13th Age ruleset and starting any day now), I have a huge armada of D&D minis loaned to me (thanks Mik) but I also couldnt help myself and grabbed two boxes of the Pathfinder Pawns (Bestiary and NPCs). So I thought a quick post looking at both might be cool.
The party was looking something like (High Elf Wizard, Dwarf Ranger (pet), Halfling Rogue, Human Ranger (bow) and Human Bard). Though our Dwarf might actually be a fighter now to lend a little brawn to the group, the exercise below looked at crafting a party using what I had.
The mini's certainly lend a nice 3D feel to things and do a better job of making the battlefield into a scale version of the action. That said the minis vary greatly in quality with some being much more interesting than others. There is something wonderfully tactile about them still and with the D&D minis they all come painted and ready to dive onto the table. Creating your own custom mini (as I last did with Thrail) is fun and I really enjoy that little side-hobby.
The pawns on the other hand have beautiful illustrations with much more detail than the minis and the quality for what they are is very high. The effect feels more like the pawns are representative, that the battlefield is more of an aid or a guide to what is going on. With a simpler and faster combat system like 13th Age with far less reliance on the tabletop boardgame aspect than D&D 4E perhaps this is more appropriate.
Comparing the two, the pawns are supremely easier to get and afford compared to minis. If Wizards unleash a whole new swath of minis for 5E, maybe that will improve (or get worse). It is also much easier to create custom pawns than minis using found of created art (need to test this actually).
Both sets actually did a pretty good job of representing the party with what I had. You can see the character of the individual heroes comes through differently from both approaches. I think given a vast collection of minis at your disposal - this is still the most engaging solution for bringing a roleplaying game onto the table for the combat representation. Failing that, the pawns are actually superb - full of character and little details that could find their way into the storytelling as well. I was worried I would regret the purchase of the pawns and didnt open the boxes for a while. I couldnt resist the other night though...
These last pics show some more of the choices I was looking at for the heroes - the NPC box has so so many pawns that could have been used to rep people. To be truthful, both options didnt do so well with the halfling rogue. I will grab some more images of both sets showing the various monsters and mock battle scenes later in the week. The last pic shows the two sets together, you can see how much bigger the pawns are...
Maybe in summary I would say the pawns are prettier, easier, cheaper and more characterful - but they arent 3D!
As our ideas for the world in our 13th Age campaign come together more, I am keen to do more work on the map as that helps ground the world while inspiring adventures at the same time. Below you can see a version of the map where I was playing with the form and coastal details while trying to think about where the rivers might meet the coast and where the mountains might run.
At first I thought a slightly roughed up coast was complex enough, then when I started zooming in it seemed I needed much more detail and then when I started experimenting with mountains in the North I thought it was looking pretty gnarly.
But then, inspired by the Middle Earth map, I went poking around in Google maps/earth and our land is mighty complex. The first image here is a part of the New Zealand coastline in the Northern part of the South Island - just look at all those crazy jaggy bits. The second one is just a bit South of there showing the crazy mountains and their beautiful colours and mandelbrot-like complexity.
Since I will need swamp as well, just look at these areas of Florida and the wonderful detail that Google brings to us so elegantly.
So, I am now thinking I will do an experiment where I take pieces of Google Earth and meld them together in Photoshop to create a fantasy map with this same level of complexity. It may be too hard to join thing together or to slot in features, but I feel like at least giving it a whirl.
With both Supanova and PAX.Aus on it seems I should finally get my act together and have something cool to wear. I always feel guilty that I havent put the effort into having a costume of some sort. I am tripping myself up with the idea that I would like something that didnt feel like it came out of a showbag. Something that felt like it was real 'clothing' to an extent rather than a flimsy pretend version. A fantasy costume would be pretty cool, drawing from The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Game of Thrones and such - being able to stride out with in Faramir's lighter gear, or Eomer's Horselord armour would be fantastic. Star Wars is perhaps the other area that could work for me, lots of options there.
I seriously doubt my capability to pull off something at the moment, but I do love seeing the success that some people bring to this craft/hobby. Check out Lightning Cosplay (Laura Jansen) as she creates some pretty nice armour pieces using Worbla (thermoplastic). Below are a few pics from her DeviantArt Gallery that show off the kind of quality that I would be proud to don.
I like the variations in armour in this shot of Renly, we see this in the designs throughout GoT, generally light armour with a few pieces of plate over the top - very cool.
Photoshop is a mighty piece of software. In our upcoming 13th Age campaign we have a little halfling. This is the wonderful reference image for Navi using a lovely piece called Duellist by Remton.
So all I did was spend a few mins using Liquify in Photoshop to try and get her some big feet and a more hobbity physique. I am sure if I took my time I would end up with a more accurate change, but liquify is just such a remarkable tool.
13th Age Icon Rolls
One thing we struggled with in the other 13th Age game I played in was the rolling against our Icon Relationships. We tried a few variations, but they didnt quite gel, I think we were about to push ownership of this to the players even. Anyhow last night I came up with a variation on the theme that might be worth trying. So characters still setup their icon relationships as normal, though the 'points' going into them has less meaning except to show the strength of that relationship in either or both directions.
Then the GM rolls at the start of the session (maybe twice) against this table which shows specifically which icons are bringing their influence into the session beyond what the current plotlines are bringing. In this version 1-5 on the D20 are going to be bad for the PCs as they are the Villainous Icons and their factions exerting their presence directly into the events surrounding the heroes.
So there is a result for each of the 13 Icons, then one for each of the PCs to bring their icons into the game more often and lastly 2 GM choice ones (a scary one and a hugely beneficial one) representing the crits at either end of the scale. I would think the GM may choose Icons that relate more powerfully to the PCs in this instance as well. A roll of 1 or 20 could also mean a shift in the balance of a relationship. a 1 may mean that a positive relationship with an Icon could turn sour or a 20 may mean a nemesis icon's power may wane.
With the PC results you can let them roll against their icons, or just let them pick which relationship they would like to see come into the foreground. Note that this houserule changes the icon roll from one of getting something 'positive' to simply highlighting which icons are going to be more prevalent in the coming session. Hopefully some of these things will be positive and others more complex or negative. So the roll should be a representation of the benefit to the heroes, high rolls will be great, low ones less so or detrimental. So if a PC has a positive relationship with an Icon and the roll is an 18 triggering it, that will be more positive (or less complicated) than if that same Icon is rolled further down the table.
If you have fewer than 5 PCs then just change the bottom (or is that top) of the table to duplicate PCs or give more 'slightly helpful' GM choice options up there. If a PC/player isnt there on the day, just reroll if their number comes up. The immediate variation that would depend on your particular game is whether the GM's choice options are actually brought back to the table as choices for the whole group - I like this idea.
Here is a generic form of the table, which looks more inviting when you have your campaign's actual icons and PCs listed in it.
Here is what it might look like if you flesh it out with Icons from the book varied to suit 4 players:
Sample D20 Icon Influence Roll (13th Age houserule)
1 GM Perilous choice
2 The Diabolist
3 The Orc Lord
4 The Lich King
5 The Three
6 The Prince of Shadows
7 The Crusader
8 The High Druid
9 The Dwarf King
10 The Elf Queen
11 The Emperor
12 The Priestess
13 The Great Gold Wyrm
14 The Archmage
15 Party Complex choice
16 Yani Darkshadow Icon
17 Ryisha Noir Icon
18 Tallos Silvereyes Icon
19 Korin Ironhand Icon
20 GM Superior choice
Who is responsible??
One of the other ways to use the D20 Icon Influence is when you want to find out which icon might be responsible for something, or is tied to an area or an NPC. So if the party of heroes is travelling through a mountain pass, we could roll against this table to work out which Icon's influence will have a bearing on the journey. A positive roll may mean there are helpful patrols, even if there is still danger, a negative roll may mean the pass is overrun or the defenses are under attack or something is following them...
One of the things this variant does is shift the flow of the game away from the Icons that the players initially chose as having a relationship with. Those icons will still come up (either by rolling the PCs number directly or by rolling the Icon), and so will a few other Icons that nobody has a direct relationship with on their character. Making some sample rolls I got doubled quite a few times and that should mean some serious influence from that icon. Crits seemed insanely rare just then for me - oh well.
Until we get a chance to test this in a game, it is hard to say how many rolls are needed - one per player does seen like alot going on but would match the gamebook. I am tempted to say 2 or 3 rolls might work...
Plus, by way of a quick addition to this post, here is a slightly fixed up version of the halfling Navi as well...


Captain Lou El Bammo, Dick Dafone, Dr. Jenny Fever and Derby Nerd rank Canada’s top A-level travel teams every two months (or so). Read the June 1st Power Ranking here.
|TEAM (League)||CHANGE||NOTES (Rollergirl.ca /WFTDA rank)|
|1. New Skids on the Block (Montreal Roller Derby)
|+1||This league just keeps finding a way to replenish itself. After a very minor slip at the beginning of the season, the Skids have pulled (slightly) away from its Canadian competition once again. Since losing to Terminal City in May, Montreal has been on a tear, winning six in a row including crushing the likes of Windy City and Charm City by 200 points. (1 / 16)|
| 2. Terminal City All Stars (Terminal City Roller Girls)
||-1||A bit of a slip as they have not shown the same level of late-season consistency that their Montreal counterparts have. A shaky win against Calgary was somewhat tempered by a better win over Toronto. Suffered some heavy losses in June, but to the best-of-the-best (including Rose City and B.A.D.) (2 / 27)|
|3.CN Power (Toronto Roller Derby)||–||After being neck-and-neck early in 2015, Toronto has lost pace with Terminal City and Montreal (losing to Vancouver by 117 points). They also suffered June loss to tumbling Ohio and just narrowly defeated D2 team Naptown (186-175). (3 / 32)|
|4.Rideau Valley Vixens (Rideau Valley Roller Girls)
|–||The Vixens have been quiet since the last rankings (as the league focused on its house league season), with a tough but reasonable loss to Charm City on the books (182-120). The Vixens managed to cling to the final 2015 D1 playoff spot. (4 / 41)|
|5. Calgary All Stars (Calgary Roller Derby Association)||+1||Calgary has had quite a season of growth. Late-season inconsistency saw them slip from a D2 playoff spot, but strong performances in recent losses against Terminal City (242-216) and Toronto (243-171) show that they still have plenty of fight left in them. (8/65)|
|6. Tri-City Thunder (Tri-City Rller Derby)||-1||After surging back into the Top 5 in June, Thunder slip a spot after a recent loss to D2 Chicago Outfit (186-100) and a lacklustre win over Brewcity (196-122). Nonetheless, they held onto a D1 playoff spot and will return for the second year in a row.(6 / 40)|
|–||Quebec’s travel team continues to roll. Although they lost handily to Montreal, they managed to stay ahead of their Muddy River Rivals in a July win (242-210) and then shocked 85th Suburbia 428-50. It’s time to see this team against some top-flight competition. (9 / -)|
|8. All Stars (Winnipeg Roller Derby League)||+1||Winnipeg leaps up a spot on the strength of a pretty incredible summer. After losing to Muddy River in May, Winnipeg has reeled off five straight victories, including four crushing sanctioned wins over D3 opponents and another over Minnesota’s B-team. (11 / 112)|
|9. Lumbersmacks (Muddy River Rollers)||-1||After going 8-1 to start the season, Muddy River has been quiet since the last Power Rankings with only one result, a 242-210 loss to Quebec, on the books. (12 / 105)|
|10. Anarchy Angels (Mainland Misfits Roller Derby)
|–||The Anarchy Angels remain in the Top 10 after slowing things down over the summer with a respectable 207-123 loss to Rat City’s Rain of Terror since the last rankings. (10/ -)|
While the Power Rankings did not have any major shifts in this addition, there were some noticeable minor changes to the Top 10. At the top of the list, Montreal takes over top spot from Terminal City heading in to the WFTDA playoffs. This season began with Montreal, Terminal City and Toronto neck-and-neck, but as its gone on and the New Skids considerable roster changes began to settle, Montreal has surged ahead and while Terminal City has kept pace better than Toronto, MTLRD remains Canada’s greatest hope heading in to the WFTDA D1 playoffs, continuing to find ways to replenish its roster, a mix of excellent internal training and some solid impressive transfers (Team Canada’s Dyna Hurtcha [Toronto] and KonichiWow [Windy City] joined the team mid-season)
Although Tri-City managed to defeat Calgary in the spring, this summer, Calgary’s play has pulled the team slightly ahead of their counterparts. Calgary’s impressive play in losses to high-ranked competition (culminating in a surprisingly close 242-216 loss to Terminal City) gives it the edge over Tri-City who has been quieter and has less impressive performances against lower ranked teams. And finally, Winnipeg has been simply crushing it this summer, defeating its four D3 opponents by an average differential of 191, clearly distancing itself form its D3 competitors.
The Watch List
Dolly Rogers (Capital City Derby Dolls) (13th)
E-Ville Dead (E-Ville Roller Derby) (14th)
Avalanche City Roller Girls (Fernie Roller Derby Society) (15th)
Shipyard Sirens (Fog City Rollers) (16th)
Brute-Leggers (Royal City Roller Girls) (17th)
Two more teams have popped up on the Rankings Crew’s radar: joining E-Ville, Avalanche City and the Brute-Leggers are Capital City’s Dolly Rogers and Fog City’s Shipyard Sirens. Both of these teams have been on and off the Power Rankings bubble before and strong recent play sees them both return. The Dolly Rogers opened the season with a loss to Montreal’s Sexpos, but since then have managed six-straight one-sided wins that have demonstrated an increasing level of play (in May they defeated Kingston’s Disloyalists by 194 points; in an August rematch, they’d increased the differential to 325). The Shipyard Sirens have been, and remain, Muddy River’s primary competition on Canada’s East Coast. Another late start to the season sees them pop up on the Watch List late, but they’ve kicked things off impressively with a smothering 354-69 win over Fredericton’s Capital City Rollers. More recently, they crushed Bangor with a slightly better margin of victory than Muddy River (163 vs. 132), which certainly piqued our interest.

I've been working on a large studio painting for the past 2 months using drawings of Oxford Road in Manchester (Part of the Valette series). The process has been a real struggle. I've scrapped the board down several times and re painted varous sections of the painting. I still feel that its a long way from being complete-will have to go out again to Oxford Road and do some more drawings!

This Day in History
1938 : An abnormally large amount of rain falls in Los Angeles starting on February 27th causing rivers to overflow with mud landslides in Los Angeles, killing approximately 120 people and destroying thousands of homes.
1964 – Italy Leaning Tower of Pisa
The Italian government announces that the Leaning Tower of Pisa was in serious danger of collapsing in an earthquake or storm asking for suggestions on how to save one of Italy’s top tourist attractions. The work to save the Tower did not begin until 1999 and was completed in December 2001.
2012 : Pakistan has demolished the compound where Osama Bin Laden was killed by US forces in May of 2011. No reasons were given for the demolition but it is likely that the authorities did not want it to be turned into a shrine for the al-Queda leader.


Application centric infrastructure (ACI) and Software defined access are two totally diverse terms in network environments and nowhere related to each other. However, there are lots of queries related to these two terminologies about their purpose, usage, and features.
Today we look at two mainstream products related to these Cisco ACI and Cisco DNA and understand their purpose , use cases and functionality and how they contribute to applications agility and data center automations.
Cisco ACI stands for ‘ Application centric infrastructure’ its focus is applications agility and data center automation . A new initiative from Cisco as it is called. ACI can enable scalable Multi cloud networks having a consistent policy model and flexibility to move applications seamlessly to any location or any cloud ensuring high availability and security. Hardware used for Cisco ACI is Cisco Nexus 9000 devices in Spine and leaf architecture. It provides a layer 3 IP fabric which supports equal cost multi-path (ECMP) routing between two endpoints in a network and uses overlay protocols like virtual extensible local area network (VXLAN) under the cover to allow any workloads to reside anywhere in the network.
Cisco DNA came into existence in 2014 and took up substantial market share in scalability, automation, and user experience. It allows authorized admins to fine tune automation in data centres big or small. It simplifies DC networking by removing complexities of manual fixing up of network issues. All organized devices are treated as single entity admins can configure and manage all at same time in APIC.
It saves money and time both which otherwise spent on manually configuring or managing network components. It has HTML 5 GUI interface which relieves administrators from using CLI or REST API for tedious manner of equipment configuration. It delivers application-oriented platform and use leaf-spine topology (CLOS) which is simple and scalable and easy to expand as per need.
Cisco ACI Architecture
Cisco ACI features
- Simplified application driven architecture
- Any load anywhere
- Centralized visibility for application health monitoring in real time
- Open software flexibility for DevOps teams
- Supports integration with existing fabric infrastructure
- Hardware multi-tenancy and scalable performance
- Seamless integration of underlay and overlay
Cisco DNA architecture has multiple solutions built around it. It defines architecture for Cisco SDA (Software Defined Access) solution and is going to be aligned to Cisco SDWAN solution. Cisco DNA is a subset of this with Cisco ISE used for user authentication and Cisco Catalyst 9K as hardware in many cases. Cisco 3850 and Cisco catalyst switch 6K also supports Cisco DNA architecture.
Cisco DNA is a software-based method to automate and guarantee services across WAN, campus, and branch networks. It is an intent based network solution and permits networks to deploy new networks virtually and create policies with few mouse clicks. New policy rollouts, new network deployments, support for new applications which operate locally or on cloud across the WAN quick configurations from single point.
Cisco DNA Architecture
Cisco DNA features
- Multi-vendor support it allows management of non cisco devices
- Notification handler for specific events
- Ability to receive custom notifications on trigger of specific events such as software upgrade in response to event notification that network devices which are out of compliance
- Enables creation of application policies in line with business intent
- Open and extensible programming interface at each layer
- Ease of design, provision, and monitor network
- Network management over a centralized dashboard
- Policy driven automation
- Analytics and assurance to optimize network performance
Comparison table: CISCO ACI vs Cisco DNA
Below table summarizes the differences between the two:
|Cisco ACI stands for ‘ Application centric infrastructure’ it is a holistic architecture with centralized automation and policy driven application profiles.
|Cisco DNA is a software-based method to automate and guarantee services across WAN, campus, and branch networks
|Leaf / edge configuration with centralized configuration from APIC GUI
|Leaf / edge configuration which can be customized for each edge

Anti-discrimination, work and mental health
Currently in the UK, responsibility for the person considered to be mentally ill lies with the health services, working jointly with local authority Social Services Departments to provide community support. To modify this system, in order to allow the service user more responsibility for, and control of, her/his destiny, is a very considerable task that many lobbying groups and individuals are currently endeavouring to undertake. As Sayce (2000: 129) points out, attempts to achieve a user-led orientation in services, and ‘change-alliances’ between users and professionals, can be seen in terms of what she terms a ‘disability inclusion’ model. This is a civil rights based approach which promises, on the one hand, the ‘positive’ rights of fair opportunities, social adjustments and support and on the other ‘negative’ rights such as being free of unfair coercion. Of immediate, accessible interest in this respect, and offering the possibility of positive results, are the programmes funded by the Mental Health Foundation (MHF). These programmes offer either a range of vocational activity leading, if desired, to supported or open employment, or advise employers, and providers of education and training, on strategies to improve access for people who have experienced mental health problems. The MHF is a charity established in 1949 that works in the fields of mental
health and of learning disability. Through publications, conferences and events it promotes greater awareness and understanding of mental health problems and learning disabilities and aims to reduce stigma and prejudice. The MHF works closely with mental health service users and offers funding to support community projects and innovative research. In 1997 it established a Mental Health and Employment Programme. Six mental health and employment projects were identified and granted funding to develop their work. These projects all provide examples of how employment discrimination can be countered and I have selected two of them to discuss in particular detail. The first is a ‘self-provisioning’ ‘green’ project designed not to have a mental health label attached to it, and which was founded on the
basis of a user-‘green professional’ collaboration. The second is a project supporting people’s efforts to get back into paid employment after long absences from the labour market. The project is based in an area of high black and minority unemployment and disadvantage, and it thus addresses multiple forms of oppression.

Researchers are creating a flexible robot that can maneuver into hard-to-reach places and give a sense of touch similar to a human hand.
A critical goal in modern surgery is to make procedures as safe and minimally invasive as possible, which often means using robotic tools. Bioengineer Nabil Simaan says a negative side effect of doing surgery with tiny entry points into the body is that the surgeon loses his or her sense of touch and pressure as well as having a very limited field of view.
“Historically a surgeon would open up the patient and he or she would have the best tools possible–human hands,” says Simaan, associate professor of mechanical engineering and otolaryngology at Vanderbilt University.
“What’s special about my snake-like robots is that they’re able to sense the environment,” says Simaan. “They’re able to sense a contact and they’re able to estimate where the contact is so they can readjust on their own, without the surgeon having to do it.”
For example, if the surgeon is manipulating the gripper, which controls the tool inside the patient’s body, and part of the mechanism hits a part of the body it shouldn’t, the flexible robot can figure out a way to reposition itself while keeping the surgical tool in place.
This not only prevents injury, it allows the surgeon to focus on the task at hand.
Not just a motion replicator
Simaan says his snake-like robots are unique because other devices that exist right now are essentially motion replicators.
“If I move my hand this way, the robot moves its hand similarly on the other side inside the patient,” says Simaan. “What we’re trying to do is go beyond the manipulation assistance into a process where the robot itself is helping the surgeon understand what the task is and is helping achieve the task.”
Simaan says by having the robot partner with the surgeon, it helps elevate the surgeon’s skills and ultimately the quality of the surgery.
The snake-like arms can move in all the directions a surgeon’s hand can move, with a “wrist” that rolls. They can also move in a very confined space and can perform dual arm tasks like knot-tying.
“It’s actually better to leave some of the task, for example of regulating the force on the tissue, to the robot controller than having the human worry about it,” says Simaan. “The surgeon is still controlling that level, but they don’t have to worry about actively controlling it every fraction of a second.”
Getting to the vocal cords
Simaan and other Vanderbilt researchers are experimenting with these robots in multiple procedures. One is vocal cord surgery—very common among singers.
Currently, singers who undergo vocal nodule surgery have to undergo full anesthesia in an operating room.
“To gain access from the mouth into the airway you would have to pull basically the neck of the patient as straight as possible. You have to insert a tube through the mouth that generally butts against the teeth and helps keep the jaw open, then push the tongue out of the way,” says Simaan.
The current procedure can sometimes cause injury. Simaan says his flexible robot would go through the nose, bypassing a gag reflex in the throat, turning a major surgery with full anesthesia into a more simplified out-patient procedure.
“We can actually take something that’s now expensive in the way we’re doing surgery and we can maybe, with the help of new technology, simplify it, reduce trauma to the patient, and at the same time reduce health care costs,” says Simaan.

I Was There – March on Washington 1963
My First Diversity Step
This week is the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. I’m so glad that I was there and part of history. That’s where my diversity journey really began.
I wish I could say that it was because I saw Martin Luther King, and heard his “I Have a Dream Speech,” but the truth is I was too young, and didn’t understand politics. However, I wasn’t too young to understand how wrong discrimination was.
I went on the March because many of my friends and their parents were going. I went on the March because I was angry that some of my friends wouldn’t have been allowed in the same restaurants, schools and other places if we lived in the south, and I went because at the time I wanted to see Washington DC.
However, I wasn’t too young to understand that discrimination was wrong, and I was angry that some of my friends who were Black wouldn’t have been allowed in the same restaurants, schools and other places if we lived in the south.
I didn’t know that my life would change, that the March would lead me to be active in the civil rights movement and that my diversity journey had begun.
What impacted me and what I remember so clearly were the thousands of people lined up on both sides of the street for what looked like miles, waving and welcoming us as our bus and all the other buses entered Washington DC.
I will always remember the warmth and chill that went through my whole being as I looked out the window. It felt like Washington DC was pulsing with electricity, optimism and a sense of unity.
It was a sea of people of all ages, colors, religions, and backgrounds that I’d never experienced before.
That feeling that I was in the midst of change, even though I didn’t know what it was, stayed with me. I didn’t stop. I spoke out in class about civil rights. I read, I learned and I participated.
That march and the subsequent ones through the years inspired my work in diversity, and also caused me to become passionate about inclusion, because when people feel included in something greater than themselves, and when one person can help another person or group of people be successful, we’ll be creating better communities, workplaces, and a better world for all of us.
Today in the diversity field, we laugh and say we don’t want to sit around and sing Kumbaya that’s where it started. And at the time in history, White people and Black people, and other people of color standing together, singing and marching was revolutionary. Singing Kumbuya and We Shall Overcome together got people put in jail, beaten and even killed.
Civil rights laws, that included the right to vote, end of segregation in schools, lunch counters, buses and business were enacted because of the boycotts, demonstrations and other actions.
However, it took more than just the laws to create real change, because even with laws people were denied entrance to schools, housing and good jobs.
Ultimately it took the ground swell of people coming together and changing the culture of segregation in the US, so that while discrimination, racism, sexism, homophobia etc. still exists on many levels, they’re not considered the norm.
The diversity and inclusion journey continues, and we all have a responsibility to help create inclusive cultures where everyone can do their best work. As the diversity and inclusion journey continues in the workplace, we have a responsibility to champion diversity and inclusion wherever we are.
Like millions of people who stood up for civil rights and ended legalized segregation, we need to continue to stand up, speak out and ensure that people don’t lose their right to vote, get an education and have an opportunity to fully participate in making this great country even greater.
Finally, we each need to examine our daily lives, and determine whether our actions are helping us move closer to Martin Luther King’s dream, and if not, let’s ask ourselves what more we can do.

Hot Pots Café celebrates third anniversary
A thriving community café has weathered the worst of the Covid pandemic to celebrate its third anniversary.
Hot Pots in March supports people with learning difficulties to gain skills suitable for employment, and despite a challenging 18 months it continues to provide a great service to customers.
The café was set up by Cambridgeshire County Council to help volunteers build their confidence before seeking work, and the benefits continue to be felt with many getting stuck in by making cakes, toasties, jacket potatoes, paninis and a variety of coffees, while also serving customers.
The café had to reduce its opening times to two days a week during the worst of the pandemic, but is now open from 10.30am to 2.30pm, Monday to Wednesday at March Community Centre, as well as Thursdays and Fridays at March Town Cricket Club.
A successful takeaway service has also been launched, as well as a bakery at the cricket club.
To celebrate its third birthday last week, a raffle was held, while customers could enjoy cake and a coffee for just £2.50.
Kayleigh Dring, employment skills worker at the council, said: “I am so proud that Hot Pots coffee shop and bakery is celebrating three years of being open. I couldn’t be more proud of the volunteers that work so hard and how, over the three years, we have grown so much by opening five days a week and giving 11 individuals the opportunity to volunteer in a work environment.
“We are now also pleased to announce that we are open as a bakery Thursdays and Fridays where customers can buy treat boxes and birthday cakes.”
Councillor Richard Howitt, chair of Cambridgeshire’s adults and health committee, said: "I had a wonderful visit to Hot Pots Coffee Shop & Bakery.
"The trainees told me how pleased there were to be back working now their café is fully reopened, and the benefits of the understanding and confidence-building environment which the project offers.
"I was also deeply impressed that the people with learning difficulties were undertaking home deliveries of food to people in need during the lockdown, even when they couldn’t welcome customers in to the café itself.
"Congratulations for the success of two of the trainees recently: one who has achieved an apprenticeship in open employment and another who is working as an advocate for other people with learning disabilities for the excellent VoiceAbility Cambridgeshire.
"The whole visit was rounded off with tea and home-baked cake, also celebrating that it is the third anniversary of the café’s opening!"
“It is wonderful to see Hot Pots go from strength to strength during such a difficult time. It is inspiring to hear about how much more confident the volunteers become during their placements, and I look forward to celebrating many more anniversaries to come.”

Time Warner Cable’s spending spree for the rights to carry the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Dodgers has altered the Southern California sports market. The Lakers have already left one of Fox Sports’ regional sports networks. The Dodgers will leave a different one after the season. The result: new regional channels featuring the teams that will add to the bills of local cable, satellite and telephone subscribers.
Those rising costs prompted four consumers to file a class-action lawsuit Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court against the teams and Time Warner Cable. They claim that the billions that Time Warner Cable is paying for Lakers rights is already causing subscribers to pay an extra $4 a month. And when SportsNet LA, the new Dodgers channel, is launched, they will pay another $4 to $5 a month.
Citing studies that show that 60 percent of the overall population are not sports fans, the lawsuit said that “left to their own, they would not subscribe to pay for Lakers telecasts.” And, it added, “a very large segment of the consumer public is not sufficiently interested in Dodgers games to pay $50 to $60 a year.”
Yet the four consumers said nonsports fans could not unsubscribe from those networks because they are sold as a bundle on the expanded basic levels of their cable, satellite or telephone service. They said that the practice of bundling “is an unfair method of competition,” and they want the networks to be sold on a stand-alone, or a la carte, basis so that only those who want them have to pay for them.
The four consumers — two of them cable subscribers, one a DirecTV subscriber and one a Verizon subscriber — filed their complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court. They are seeking to become the representatives of a much broader class of subscribers and to establish what they describe as the illegal behavior of the teams and Time Warner Cable.
A Time Warner spokeswoman declined to comment.

No Santa Run at Willand Rovers this year
11:00am Saturday 21st December 2013 in Mid Devon News
THE annual Santa Run at Willand Rovers Football Club will not be taking place this year because of a refurbishment project at the club.
Rovers were lucky enough to secure funding from Viridor Environmental Company to start the massive refurbishment project in August this year.
Phase one has been completed - which involved the purchase of a new sports changing unit - and is now on site and being used regularly by all the Willand teams.
Mike Mitchell club chairman said: "It was a hard decision to make not to hold the event this year but we have to make sure that the safety of our visitors is put first. Phase two has started and there is a lot of building work going on in the Club to make the new toilet facilities.
“The Santa Run is a fantastic event we put on for the whole village and anyone outside to take part in and you can be rest assured it will be back for December 2014.”

According to this week's flu report (Word, PDF), Massachusetts has experienced a dramatic increase in flu activity over the past couple of weeks. This is consistent with what is being seen in surrounding states and nationally.
The good news is that CDC reports over 99% of the cases they have seen have been a match to this season's vaccine. With that in mind, and the holidays fast approaching, now is the perfect time to get a flu shot if you haven't gotten one yet — there's still plenty of vaccine available and plenty of places to get it. Check with your health care provider or search for a flu vaccine opportunity in your area at www.mylocalclinic.com .

Rachel Hall tells us how her eight-year-old therapy dog helps to brighten up the lives of others, despite a difficult start in life and his own disability to overcome.
'On the day that my partner, Olli, and I adopted Ted, the shelter had actually given us two rescue dogs to see: the first was a gorgeous, lively pooch, and then Ted came in, quite literally the underdog. He was overweight and withdrawn, but when he ambled over and put his paw on my knee, my heart melted.
'We discovered that Ted, a Springer Spaniel, had been rehomed on three occasions, and that during this time he'd been overfed and hardly taken out for walks. I knew we could make him happy again, and so he was the dog for us. 'We soon understood why other families might not have known how to connect with him, though. While a healthy diet and some gentle walks in the countryside had given him a new lease of life, there was still something missing. He didn't bark or turn his head in recognition when we called him, in fact he didn't respond to our voices at all. A week later the vet confirmed our suspicion: Ted was deaf.
'We were shocked, but his disability only reinforced our affection for him, and I set out on my next challenge to get Ted to communicate with us. I started using sign language (a mixture of tips I'd picked up on the internet and my own ideas) to see if he'd respond. If I wanted him to sit, I'd tap my shoulder; for lying down, I lowered my hand to the floor; and if I wanted him to pick something up I'd make a crocodile grabbing action. Progress was slow and I'd all but given up, when one day, on my command, Ted sank to the carpet and looked up at me. I felt like punching the air!
'Meanwhile, Ted's gentle nature and patience were winning him friends at the local dog training school and he was often picked out to assist other dogs in the group who were struggling. And his happy-go-lucky nature was having an effect on me too. I'd suffered with anxiety in the past, but having Ted around gave my days a sense of purpose.
'I firmly believe that older dogs need as much stimulation as young ones do, and filling their days with activity can increase their quality of life - Ted is living proof of that. Since we adopted him, he's lost nearly a stone and a half in weight and he's now a therapy dog through Therapy Dogs Nationwide. He visits patients in a specialist dementia unit near our home in north Wales and, because he laps up all the attention but doesn't bark, he's ideal for the job. The patients love to stroke him, which is calming for them and he never fails to put a smile on their faces.
'Recently it's Ted's ability, rather than his disability, that's been recognised. He was asked to represent Therapy Dogs Nationwide at Crufts this year, and has just been named Rescue Dog of the Year by our local branch of the RSPCA. But best of all, he'll also be our ring bearer when Olli and I get married in October.'

There’s arguably no greater way to inflame a room full of readers than to bring up the Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight Saga. Often mocked, the series was/is a favorite of many teenage girls, now adult women. (Perhaps this is the source of the ridicule?) As the generation of readers who devoured the Twilight Saga ages, so has our reading taste. Here are six books perfect for the TWILIGHT fan in all of us.
Probably the novel on this list that’s most similar to TWILIGHT, WARM BODIES features a fictional monster—a sentient zombie, in this case—who soon finds himself in love with a human. These two teenagers find themselves locked in a battle to save humanity, but can they also find a way to stay in love as the world falls apart?
In this unexpected retelling of Romeo and Juliet, R is having a no-life crisis—he is a zombie. And then he meets Julie, a blast of living color in his gray landscape. However, their unlikely bond will cause ripples they can’t imagine, and their hopeless world won’t change without a fight.
In this stunning debut, Corinne Sullivan writes a vivid and authentic narrator named Imogene—a new fresh-out-of-college 22-year-old teacher at an upper-crust boarding school. Imogene soon finds herself in over her head when the eighteen-year-old boys prove more trouble than she thought they’d be and she enters an obsessive, elicit affair with one of the students.
I love this one because it reminds me of the fish-out-of-water scenario Bella finds herself in when she encounters the world of vampires. In SHE REGRETS NOTHING, Laila Lawrence enters unfamiliar territory in NYC after the death of her parents. The new girl in town, she uncovers scandal after scandal while trying to remain unscathed.
Definitely the most adult novel on this list, ’SALEM’S LOT is a horror novel by the master storyteller himself. Stephen King has called ’SALEM’S LOT one of his favorite novels, and it features a mythical creature we know and love: vampires.
One of the most ambitious and terrifying novels about the undead ever written, ’SALEM’S LOT explores what would happen if vampires existed in our modern world. When a young man returns to his hometown, he quickly realizes that it’s harboring something dark and evil. Can a small, insular town survive, or is it—and the rest of the country—doomed?
I love this book because it tackles a timely—and controversial—issue from a female perspective: victim-blaming. Looking back, TWILIGHT had some glaring issues when it came to female representation. Giving a voice to a woman is hardly the only positive in ASKING FOR IT, but it’s a great start.
In the only memoir on this list, Jessica Valenti’s writing is self-aware and sharp. A coming-of-age feminist story, this is one woman’s exploration of self. It is noticeably short on vampires, but a large part of the Twilight Saga is Bella seeking her own agency and finding herself. Is this angst- ridden? No, but it’s an amazing memoir for a reader looking for an entertaining reader that unapologetically explores sexism.

Beginner Budgeting Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Dave Ramsey is famous for saying, “If you don’t control your money, the lack of money will control you.” The most basic way to begin taking control of your money is to devise a budget. Many people who set out to live by a budget give up fairly quickly the first time they get frustrated by the process or by something they didn’t think to plan for.
To help you avoid that kind of frustration, here are seven common budgeting mistakes and how to avoid them:
1. Making things too complicated. When I first started budgeting, I tried to break everything down into micro-categories. Instead of a general food budget, I had subcategories for coffee, sit-down restaurants, fast food, and more. Budgeting like that is not necessary and takes up enough brain power that it could make you frustrated enough to be tempted to quit trying to budget altogether. Don't overthink the minutia.
2. Not having savings - emergency and/or retirement - as a line item in your budget. Many people figure up how much they need for the necessities and then decide how much of whatever is left over they will save and how much they can spend on things they want. But saving should not be the last thing on your list. It should be a primary expense included in your budget, just like living expenses. Determine what you need to save first, and then you can decide how much you can earmark for discretionary spending.
3. Adopting "canned" budgeting formulas. It used to be that ideas like the "50/30/20" rule were popular: designate 50% for your needs, 30% for wants, and 20% for savings. It sounds easy to do, so some people still like such formulas, but advice like this is outdated and may not have been sound in the first place, so beware.
4. Not tracking your transactions frequently enough. Checking your bank balance and your transactions at the end of the month is a common practice, but you should do it more often. At that point, your spending is what it is, and if you've overspent in one area, there is nothing you can do about it. I recommend you review things weekly at a minimum, but tools like Mint.com make it easy to check up on things daily so you can make course corrections throughout the month.
5. Forgetting about regular, one-time annual expenses. When my wife and I set up our first budget, it had everything we spent in a month in it, and it was an awesome budget! But then I got some little white cards in the mail telling me it was time to renew our car tags. We had to do some scrambling to make room for $400 in that month's budget. For any annual expense like car tags, property taxes, or vacation, divide those yearly expenses by 12 and include that much in your monthly budget.
6. Lack of communication between the budget keeper and the rest of the family. If you are the person who's tracking expenditures, but the rest of the household doesn't know what's going on, they probably will not be aware of how what they are doing themselves is affecting the family budget. Mint.com and other apps have features to set up personal allowances so each member of the family can track how much they've spent and how much they have available.
7. Giving up when you don't get it right the first time. Sometimes people set up a budget, but don't get the hang of following it immediately, and think, "Well, I messed it up, so I guess I can't keep a budget." That's not true - budgets are for everybody, but just like everything else in life, they're easier for some people to pick up than others. Understand from the start that it takes time to come up with the optimal budget. You are going to make mistakes, but you only fail if you give up. Keep making corrections as needed, and before you know it, you'll have a budget that empowers you with complete control over your money.

So many ministries can come to BJP
There has been a stir in Maharashtra regarding government formation. On the other hand, there is news that former CM Devendra Fadnavis is reaching Delhi, where he will brainstorm with the BJP high command on the political situation. However, BJP is currently in the role of wait and watch. If sources are to be believed, BJP can keep 29 ministerial posts in the next government. An important meeting of the Eknath Shinde faction is also to be held in this regard this afternoon. If sources are to be believed, the Shinde faction is in discussion with the BJP to form the government. It is also almost certain that if the government of BJP and Eknath Shinde faction is formed, then Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will be made.

Uddhav Thackeray was about to resign after addressing the secretaries in Mantralaya on the second day as well. But once again Sharad Pawar stopped Uddhav from resigning. After talking to Fadnavis, Uddhav had also tried to talk to the BJP high command. Amidst all this, the Public Relations Department of Shiv Sena has said that Uddhav Thackeray did not make any call to Fadnavis. Shiv Sena says that whatever Uddhav has to say, he will come and say it in front of everyone.
