Advanced X-ray Tomographic Imaging Lab (AXTI)
Ioannis Sechopoulos's research group focuses on novel image acquisition, processing and analysis techniques, physical and perceptual evaluation of image quality, radiation dosimetry, tomographic image reconstruction and advanced computational simulation methods in diagnostic x-ray based imaging.
Benno Roozendaal's research group investigates the brain processes underlying the effects of emotional arousal on memory processes. The goal is to increase understanding of traumatic memories in humans and develop new strategies for the prevention or treatment of memory- and anxiety disorders.
Cardiovascular physiology and exercise
Dick Thijssen's research group focuses on the field of cardiovascular physiology and physical (in)activity. His work strongly focuses on understanding the impact of exercise training and physical activity on reducing the risk of developing cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.
Dirk Schubert's research group aims to improve our understanding of the neural networks in the rodent primary somatosensory system and answer general questions about how altered gene expression or neuromodulators can affect cortical network organization and consequently behavior.
Cerebral circulation and cognition in aging humans
Jurgen Claassen's research group uses various techniques to measure cerebral perfusion, cerebral autoregulation and cognitive activation. These physiological mechanisms play an important role in Alzheimer’s disease, hypertension, and cognitive aging.
Cerebral circulation and cognition: Translational neurosciene
Amanda Kiliaan’s research group uses a multidisciplinary approach to study the link between (cerebro)vascular disorders and neurodegeneration. Within this group, neuroimaging is an important tool to study aspects of cerebral hemodynamics (e.g. cerebral blood flow/volume, vasoreactivity).
Clinical neuroscience in psychiatry
Indira Tendolkar's group focuses the intersection between clinical psychiatry and cognitive neuroscience with a focus on declarative memory. We investigate the adapatation of emotional and neutral memory processes depending on genetic and environmental variablity including somatic challenges.
Cognitive and affective neuroscience
Erno Hermans's research group investigates how neurochemicals affect diverse cognitive functions, such as vigilance, executive function, and memory. Moreover, they study how stressful experiences alter the intrinsic neural dynamics in the brain and how such processes contribute to memory.
Computational approaches to advance personalized medicine
Peter Bram 't Hoen's research group develops computational approaches that exploit molecular –omics data in combination with clinical data to better understand disease mechanisms and to advance patient diagnosis and stratification for therapeutic and life style interventions.
Jo Zhou's group aims to establish disease models using patient material and model organisms to identify regulatory networks and disease mechanisms in developmental disorders. Using genomics technology, we map the genome-wide atlas of disease-associated regulatory elements beyond the coding regions.
Disorders in impulse- and aggression regulation
Robbert-Jan Verkes's group aims to understand the neurobiological impairments in individuals with disorders in impulse- and/or aggression control. Particular interest in the influence on impulsive behavior of psychotropic compounds, including the individual differences in the effects of these drugs.
Engineered proteins for drug delivery
Wouter Verdurmen’s research group focuses on designing and investigating engineered proteins that overcome delivery barriers, employing synthetic binding proteins for target recognition. Various (super-resolution) microscopy techniques as well as microfluidic tumor-on-a-chip approaches are used.
Establishing physiological biomarkers of perioperative stress
Jurgen Fütterer's group conducts imaging and cognitive research at the intersection between clinical psychiatry and cognitive neuroscience with a focus forms of declarative memory that also play a role in development and maintenance of stress-related mental disorders.
Thijs Eijsvogels’s research group studies the acute and long-term effects of exercise on health. Current projects involve cardiac imaging following lifelong exercise training, optimizing cardiac rehab, assessing thermoregulatory responses in elite athletes and development of cooling strategies.
Genomic technologies & immuno-genomics
Alexander Hoischen's group focuses on the application of latest genomic technologies to understand human disease. A particular emphasis is put in the understanding of genetic defects that explain immune diseases, in particular primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs).

Kamala Harris unloads on 'unfit' Kavanaugh, White House in fiery Senate floor speech
California Sen. Kamala Harris took aim at the White House's handling of the FBI investigation into sexual misconduct allegations surrounding Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh during a passionate Senate floor speech.
"This should have been a search for the truth," she said. "They should have been allowed to do their full job. But instead the White House did not allow it. This was not a search for the truth. Instead, this was about politics and raw power to push through an unfit nominee."
Harris said the probe should not have been a criminal investigation as to whether a crime had occurred, but instead an investigation into whether Kavanuagh is "fit" to sit on the Supreme Court.
"There's been a lot of conflation around here about the subject and the need for an investigation into Dr. Ford's allegations," she said. "Ours was not a search to determine whether a crime occurred, ours was not a search to determine whether we had enough facts to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime had occurred. No ours was an investigation to figure out enough about what happened to determine if Brett Kavanaugh is fit to serve on the highest court on our land."
The senator raised her voice as she asked, "Is he fit to be a jurist in the place where we have said justice in our country occurs?... When it comes to Dr. Ford's allegations, we fell short. We fell short. We did not do her justice, we did not do the American people justice."
Harris then criticized the White Houses' handling of the FBI probe.
"When the White House directed the FBI to do its work, it appears the FBI was not permitted to look at all of the allegations," she said.
She then provided a list of individuals the FBI did not interview in its investigation, including Christine Blasey Ford's husband and several of Kavanaugh's classmates in high school and college.
As for Kavanaugh himself, Harris said he lacks impartiality, integrity and truthfulness.
"The minimum standard for a Supreme Court nominee should be someone who we are confident will demonstrate impartiality, integrity and truthfulness, but the nominee we are voting on has not demonstrated those qualities," she said. "Every American is entitled to the benefit of the doubt, but nobody is titled to a seat on the United States Supreme Court."
On Friday afternoon, previously undecided senators Susan Collins of Maine and Joe Manchin of West Virginia announced that they will vote for Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation, meaning his seat on the Supreme Court is all but guaranteed.

The SPAD S.XIII was a French biplane fighter aircraft of World War I, developed by Société Pour L'Aviation et ses Dérivés (SPAD) from the earlier highly successful SPAD S.VII. It was one of the most capable fighters of the war, and one of the most-produced, with 8,472 built and orders for around 10,000 more cancelled at the Armistice.
The SPAD S.XIII first flew on 4 April 1917, and in the following month was already being delivered to the French Air Service. Other Allied forces were quick to adopt the new fighter as well, and nearly half of the 893 purchased for the United States Army Air Service were still in service in 1920.
The S.XIII was flown by famous French fighter pilots such as Georges Guynemer and Rene Fonck, and also by Italian ace Francesco Baracca. Aces of the United States Army Air Service who flew the Spad XIII include Eddie Rickenbacker (America's leading ace with 26 confirmed victories) and Frank Luke (18 victories).

As Described In
Red Baron: The best French scout of the war, the Spad 13 is very fast. It's also the sturdiest aircraft of the war.
Knights of the Sky: The Spad 13 was developed to replace the earlier Spad 7. It was powered by a geared 220 or 235 horsepower Hispano-Suiza V-8 engine and carried two Vickers machine guns firing through the propeller. Virtually all French Escadrilles eventually received Spad 13s and at least one Squadron of the RFC was equipped with this fine aeroplane. Although difficult to fly at low speeds, it was extremely sturdy, heavily armed, and very fast by the standards of the day.

For increasing the life of sensor networks, each node must conserve energy as much as possible. In this paper, we propose a protocol in which energy is conserved by amortizing the energy cost of communication over multiple packets. In addition, we allow sensors to control the amount of buffered packets since storage space is limited. To achieve this, a two-radio architecture is used which allows a sensor to "wakeup” a neighbor with a busy tone and send its packets for that destination. However, this process is expensive because all neighbors must awake and listen to the primary channel to determine who is the intended destination. Therefore, triggered wakeups on the primary channel are proposed to avoid using the more costly wakeup procedure. We present a protocol for efficiently determining how large the period for these wakeups should be such that energy consumption is reduced.

Scotland’s largest seated theatre, the Edinburgh Playhouse, re-opens on Tuesday 14th September after being closed since March 2020. The theatre was originally supposed to open on Sunday 5th September with two performances of Chris and Rosie Ramsey’s ‘Shagged Married Annoyed’, however due to a technical fault with the theatre’s safety curtain the shows were not able to go ahead. The sold out performances have been rescheduled to Sunday 5th December.
The theatre will now re-open to audiences this coming Tuesday with Dolly Parton’s hit musical ‘9 to 5’. The new UK touring production based on the 1980s film features Louise Redknapp as Violet, Vivian Panka as Judy, Stephanie Chandos as Doralee, Julia J Nagle as Roz and Sean Needham as Franklin Hart Jr.
After 16 months of the 3,000 seater theatre laying dormant, Scottish audiences will step back in the Playhouse for one of the biggest productions to come to the country since before the pandemic began. Ambassador Theatre Group have also taken safety precautions to make sure that audiences are entering a covid safe area. The Playhouse posted the below statement:
“We will be requiring all adult customers to share their COVID-19 status with either proof of a negative PCR/lateral flow test OR a record of your vaccination status from NHS Scotland. We will also be requiring everyone, unless medically exempt, to wear a face covering in our venue while not drinking or eating at your seat.”
These precautions are mandatory and are completely understandable considering the severe impact the pandemic has had on the theatre industry. Therefore audiences can be rest assured they are entering a safe enviroment to enjoy a fabulous night of entertainment in one of Scotland’s best venues.

Harrison Davies decided the best way to describe hiking the Appalachian Trail was in song
Harrison Davies’ new album took nearly 2,200 miles and 142 days of walking to complete.
Davies, who performs with his band under the name Dead King Cotton, laid down his guitar for 142 days to hike the Appalachian Trail from where it starts in Springer Mountain, Ga., to its end at Maine’s Mount Katahdin.
“If you ask me how it was, that’s a loaded question, because we’re gonna spend the whole night talking about it,” says Davies over coffee. “It’s either a whole day conversation or ‘It’s really cool.’ So I just wanted to be able if somebody really wanted to know about it, this (album) would be the best way to describe it. I just thought it needed to be done.”
The album, “Never Know What the Morrow Brings,” is available as a digital download on iTunes and Spotify, and Davies has been performing at small events around the University of Tennessee, where he is a student.
“I was in a band last year at UT and when I left for the hike everybody quit!” says Davies.
The journey begins
Davies, who was 20 at the time, began his hike on May 9, 2016. He’d had to convince his parents that it was a good idea.
“My mom took the most convincing,” he says. “My dad was cool about it. He’s always been into hiking and he was definitely one of the reasons I did it. He would always take my brother and I hiking when we were younger. I still go backpacking with them. My dad said he was glad I was doing it and this was the right time to do it. I knew my mom would be really, really worried. I tried to be responsible about it and call her when I got to towns. My dad actually dropped me off the first day and he spent the night up there with me and that next morning May 9, I set out. That was kind of a weird moment, saying goodbye to my dad.”
He says that for the first few days he could only manage to hike eight miles per day, but he began increasing his mileage as the days went on:
“Those first two weeks I’d crawl into camp every night and the next morning just barely get my legs to go. It was such a process to get those wheels turning. Right about halfway through the Smokies, I’d been on my own for about 100 miles, and I just finished a 20-miler and woke up expecting to be worn out, but I realized I was actually fine. ‘I can do another 20 today.’ It’s just a cool feeling.”
An unrelenting hunger
The hunger, though, he says, never went away.
“You burn an irreplaceable amount of calories,” says Davies. “I would do protein bars and two packs of ramen at night, normally, a lot of Snickers, peanut butter, canned chicken, a lot of Twinkies. I had a Pop-Tart every morning. That was something I could look forward to.”
He says he would go off the trail to hitchhike into town approximately every seven days if the trail didn’t actually run through a town.
“The best way to think about it is small section hikes. You make it to this town, take a shower and eat a great meal and get a good night’s sleep and set your next goal and accomplish that. So instead of thinking I’ve got 1,200 miles until I’m finished, you think, ‘I’ve got 100 miles to this town.’ That the way I did it. That’s pretty much the way everybody does it.”
The adventure, he says, was a combination of things he expected and surprises.
“I did expect to be tired and I did expect to be hungry, but I didn’t expect to be that satisfied just from walking. The most basic skill humans have and at that same time at the end of the day you don’t want to be anywhere else than where you are that night. Even if it’s raining. I was really surprised at just how much meaning you can find from just completing a task as simple as walking every day. My faith really grew. I’ve always been a believer, but just relying on the Lord for safety and strength, I just never found myself talking to God about those things before in my life. But that changed a lot, too. Just your basic needs.”
The kindness of strangers
He saw unforgettable views, but he was as affected by the people he met as the scenery.
“It’s cool to see the togetherness of total strangers undertaking this massive journey and to see how that brings people together. These people I became friends with, we didn’t have a lot in common and a lot of times they were 20 years older than I was, but just having this one goal, you know, and helping each other out whenever we could, that’s just something that around here you could just let go and not notice it. And the non-thru-hikers, people left out food and water, and all the people who gave me rides. I did 26 hitchhikes. Just seeing that in people, it was like, ‘Maybe we are called to live together more.’ That was one of my favorite things.”
He says the longest time he partnered with other hikers was about 250 miles and did about 500 miles totally alone.
At times the Appalachian Trail snakes through main downtown thoroughfares and it passes through the campus of Dartmouth College in New Hampshire.
Near the end of trail is an area called the “100-Mile Wilderness.” Davies came out of it on Sept. 26, 2016.
“It’s really 115 miles, because when you get out of the 100-Mile Wilderness you just cross a road!” says Davies. “It’s not like it’s civilization; there’s a gas station and that’s it. I bought a bag of Doritos.”
It was those Doritos, and the fact that it was supposed to rain the next day, that gave Davies the energy to climb Mount Katahdin, well past the time when it was recommended to do so.
“You’re not supposed to start after 10 a.m. and it was 3 p.m.,” says Davies. “I just started running. I didn’t want to finish in the rain. I summited Katahdin at around 6 p.m. The sun was getting ready to set and I was the only one up there. There’s a big sign and I just hugged it. I just took my backpack off and sat there. It was my 80th mile in three days and I was done. When I got back down, the ranger gave me hell about it. When you’re in that mentality, though, you really do feel like a beast. You can do 30 miles a day. It feels like nothing is impossible.”
Back in Knoxville
When Davies returned to Knoxville, he picked up and began putting together lyrics he’d written on the trail with tunes. He had lost 25 pounds on his trip and he spent a month resting and playing guitar.
“I can’t say that I really knew how they were going to sound at all,” he says. “But, literally, the day I got home they all started coming out. I hadn’t played guitar in 142 days and I was just ready to jam. My fingers really hurt, because I lost all my callouses, so it took a while.”
He visited with his friend Reed Ensinger, who plays mandolin and had hiked the trail earlier. He knew Ensinger was the perfect person to collaborate with for the album and shows. Shows are currently on hiatus, though, because Ensinger and his wife recently began a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, which runs from Mexico to Canada.
Davies simply hopes his music inspires people to do something. He recently released a video of the song “Not the Darkness, Nor the Winds,” which includes video of his journey.
“If someone says ‘Wouldn’t it be cool to hike the AT and they hear this song or see this video they’ll be like, ‘Yeah, I want to do that!’ Not even necessarily a thru-hike, but just to get out on the AT or just get out and hike. If I can inspire people to get on to any trail, I’d say this album is a success.”


Consent is not always the legal basis that legitimates data processing, as previously expressed. However, these are not the most common situations. Instead, the draft of the ePrivacy Regulation considers consent as the main basis for lawful data processing in the context of electronic communications. Consent, however, will only apply if some conditions are met. If consent is used as the legal basis for data processing, developers should ensure that their device includes the need to obtain the users’ consent for processing in an informed and granular way and the documentation of such consent. Furthermore, such consent must be properly accredited.
It must be crystal clear that consent by the data subject cannot be obtained freely through mandatory acceptance of general terms and conditions, or through opt-out possibilities. It must be granular in approach. On the other hand, the default settings of an operating system should ensure that location services are ‘OFF’, and users may explicitly consent to the switching ‘ON’ of specific applications. Furthermore, “it is important to distinguish between consent to a one-off service and consent to a regular subscription. For example, in order to use a particular geolocation service, it may be necessary to switch on geolocation services in the device or the browser. If that geolocation capacity is switched ‘ON’, every website may read the location details of the user of that smart mobile device. In order to prevent the risks of secret monitoring, the former Article 29 Working Party considers it essential that the device continuously warns that geolocation is ‘ON’, for example through a permanently visible icon.”
Finally, yet importantly, the former Article 29 Working Party recommended that providers of geospatial applications or services should seek to renew individual consent (even where there is no change in the nature of processing) after an appropriate period of time. For instance, it would not be valid to continue to process location data where an individual had not actively used the service within the previous 12 months. Even where a person has used the service they should be reminded at least once a year (or more often where the nature of the processing warrants it) of the nature of the processing of their personal data. Thus, the developer could consider the possibility of incorporating in the device or system an e-tool capable of sending a request to the user in order to (re)gain (or not) their consent to continue with the processing. However, this is more a recommendation than a legal requisite.
Broad consent might be acceptable, but only if some concrete circumstances apply, such as: it is difficult or improbable to foresee how this data will be processed in the future; broad consent used for processing of special categories of data is compatible with national regulations; where broad consent is used, the data subjects are given the opportunity to withdraw their consent and to choose whether or not to participate in certain research and parts of it. Furthermore, some safeguards must be implemented.
|Box 3: Broad consent and additional safeguards
The German DPA recently listed some additional safeguards to be implemented in the case of broad consent. These are:
1. Safeguards to ensure transparency:
2. Safeguards to build trust:
3. Security safeguards:
Box 4: Example of best practice for providers of geolocation applications according to the former Article 29 Working Party-:
An application that wants to use geolocation data clearly informs the user about the purposes for which it wants to use the data, and asks for unambiguous consent for each of the possibly different purposes. The user actively chooses the level of granularity of geolocation (for example, on country level, city level, zip code level or as accurately as possible). Once the location service is activated, an icon is permanently visible on every screen that location services are ‘ON’. Users can continuously withdraw their consent, without having to exit the application. Users are also able to easily and permanently delete any location data stored on the device.”
☐ The controllers are able to demonstrate that, after balancing the circumstances of the processing, they have concluded that consent is the most appropriate legal basis for processing.
☐ The controllers request the consent of the data subjects in a free, specific, informed and unequivocal manner, according to article 7 GDPR.
☐ The controllers have informed the data subjects about their right to withdraw consent at any time.
☐ Broad consent used for processing of special categories of data is compatible with national regulations.
☐ Where broad consent is used, the controller is particularly aware that the data subjects are given the opportunity to withdraw their consent and to choose whether or not to participate in certain research and parts of it.
☐ Controllers have a direct relationship with the subject who provides the data.
☐ The power imbalance between controllers and data subjects does not impede free consent. This is particularly important in certain contexts such as the labor framework.
☐ The controllers ask people to actively opt in.
☐ The controllers do not use pre-ticked boxes or any other type of default consent.
☐ The controllers use clear, plain language that is easy to understand.
☐ The controllers specify why they want the data,what they are going to do with it and for how long data will be processed.
☐ The controllers give separate distinct (‘granular’) options to consent separately to different purposes and types of processing.
☐ The controllers link which pieces of data of categories thereof will be processed for each purpose.
☐ The controllers have informed the data subjects about their right to withdraw consent at any time and how to do so.
☐ The controllers ensure that individuals can refuse to consent without detriment to their access to the service.
☐ The controllers avoid making consent a precondition of a service.

A brake is the primary safety device in every drive system. Its task is it to stop the system’s rotational movement in a defined way. Most engineers in the field of drive technology are excellent specialists and able to design a drive system for its intended use. In the end, however, the know-how is often missing to bring a drive to a standstill in a defined and time-optimized way, say, in an emergency, or to keep it permanently and safely in a fixed position.
This is precisely, where our brake technology specialists go into action: They provide advice to customers when it comes to designing the optimal brake system for the drive train. However, more often than not, the issue is about a complete brake system, including brake disk, steel structure, control, energy generation as well as piping, and not only about the mere design of the brake.
The safety requirements concerning plants and machinery have been significantly tightened, especially since the introduction of the currently valid Machinery Directive in 2006 and of the Product Safety Act (ProdSG) in 2011.
As regards stopping machines, Article 1.2.4 of the Machinery Directive stipulates:
220.127.116.11. Normal stop: Machinery must be fitted with a control device whereby the machinery can be brought safely to a complete stop. Each workstation must be fitted with a control device to stop some or all of the functions of the machinery, depending on the existing hazards, so that the machinery is rendered safe. The machinery's stop control must have priority over the start controls. Once the machinery or its hazardous functions have stopped, the energy supply to the actuators concerned must be cut off.
18.104.22.168. Operational stop: Where, for operational reasons, a stop control that does not cut off the energy supply to the actuators is required, the stop condition must be monitored and maintained.
22.214.171.124 Emergency stop: Every machine must be fitted with one or more emergency stop devices to enable actual or impending danger to be averted.
These requirements actually mean in practice that no drive system must be put into operation without a brake system. On the other hand, we often hear from customers that they seek constructive solutions without brakes. However, any further, more in-depth talks reveal in most cases that brakes cannot be dispensed with for safety reasons. Unfortunately, customers often approach us only, after damage has already affected plants or machinery, so that a brake system needs to be retrofitted at a high expense. Hence, the question is not predominantly, whether a brake is required or not, but how to integrate the brake system into the drive train, so that it can absorb the forces during ongoing operations. In addition to that, it is, of course, of the essence how to accommodate the brake system in the drive train at optimal costs and with as little space as possible being required.
We have the optimal solution ready for your applications. Our engineers will prepare a customized design in line with your specific requirements, or they will advise you right from the project phase, so that the best possible brake or brake system can be found for you. The use of our products in the world’s largest skyscrapers, in conveying systems, in ships, cranes and many other applications is convincing proof enough that we are able to think in many directions.
Not only do we develop our brakes and appliances ourselves, as engineering partners for customers in all industries and countries we are also in a position to permanently optimize brake systems in line with the relevant market requirements. For us, flexibility, creativity and customer responsiveness are therefore not just hollow words, but a promise.
We do not brake you, but your drive system; big promise!

I have many books on my night stand waiting desperately to be read:
- The Western Desert of Egypt – Cassandra Vivian
- Paulo Coelho’s The Zahir, By the river Piedra I sat down and wept, Eleven minutes
- See No Evil – Robert Baer
- Our Oriental Heritage – Will Durant
- لغز الحضارة المصرية – د. سيد كريم
- الزيني بركات – جمال الغيطاني
- The Bourne Identity – Robert Ludlum
The Western Desert of Egypt talks about many things, starting from the famous travellers who passed through the Western Desert, and even giving details for journeys / safaris to do there (with descriptions and GPS points!) , I read parts of it, but I want to make few notes and comment on stuff, maybe one day I will have the chance to make these journeys 🙂
Paulo Coelho’s books are an easy read, but little bit slow paced and repetitive. Nevertheless I really want to know what this guy wants to say.
See No Evil is based on the true story of an ex- FBI agent (the author himself) who tells the story from inside. It is nice, not quite a thriller, but it is on this character that George Clooney presented the betrayed FBI agent in Syriana,,, mmm,,, I really want to read this one too.
…. to be continued

Rose cottage veterinary runcorn
"Wow. How on EARTH can this vet think that to take your little dog in and say “my dogs breath smells” Two minutes later- at the very most, the vet agrees he needs a teeth clean. I book the appointment (which actually took longer than the mouth check btw) and go to reception who tell me I have to pay £31.50 for that 2 minutes of the vets time. Not for any treatment in the future. JUST for that 2 minutes. That is £945 an hour!!!!!!!! Are you insane. I am furious. I adore my dog as does all pet owners. That is outrageous and you should be ashamed of yourselves. Obviously I have cancelled the appointment and will find a vet that not only loves animals but also does not rip people off. Truly disgusted. My dentist charged me less for a clean and a filling this week!!!!!"

Thank you for contacting the Toronto Master Gardeners with your inquiry.
From one of our earlier posts: “Adult cherry fruit fly maggots emerge from the ground in late spring to early summer, about 5 weeks prior to cherry harvest. The female can lay up to 200 eggs. These hatch into larvae that tunnel into the cherry and when mature in 15-21 days burrow back out and drop to the ground. There they burrow into the soil to pupate. The pupa overwinters and develops into the adult fly the next year.”
The post entitled Worms in cherries gives step by step instruction as to the best defence against this pest.

Dragon Ball FighterZ Gameplay
Several fighting video games served as inspiration for Dragon Ball FighterZ’s gameplay. In particular, its fighting style and mechanics were inspired by the Marvel vs. Capcom games. As we already discussed, three people normally play this game in a group. A controlled character can be switched with the other players’ characters. Players can request an aid manoeuvre from the other two characters at any time during the game. This will enable several simultaneous attacks and battles to be launched against the adversary. To win, a player must be able to defeat each of the three opponents from the opposing team.
Countless new moves have been introduced in the most recent Dragon Ball series. Take the disappear attack, for instance. In this attack, the player has the ability to backstab an opponent by instantaneously teleporting Ki to their character. The dragon rush move is the next. This option allows players to get through an enemy’s defence. If he is successful, he has the option of attacking from above or making the adversary change characters. A flying super dash attack is also available. Finally, players can Ki charge manually, exactly like in the previous Dragon Ball sequels, to increase their ki gauge.

The Hausdorff Distance (HD) is widely used in evaluating medical image segmentation methods. A simple Hausdorff distance measure between shapes defined by contours. The Hausdorff Distance (HD) is widely used in evaluating medical image segmentation methods. Compute distance between each pair of the two collections of inputs. Studierfenster is a free, non-commercial Open Science client/server-based Medical Imaging Processing (MIP) online framework. The python code of the metrics is available on GitHub. In this paper, we present novel loss functions for training convolutional neural network (CNN)-based segmentation methods with the goal of reducing HD directly. The method focuses on boundary point matching between a segmentation output and a reference partition. 2 applied to Hausdorff distance from A to B (also called directed Hausdorff distance). Performance analysis is important since segmentation algorithms often have limited accuracy and precision. As can be seen in the image above all 3 dogs are assigned different colours i.e different labels. The Hausdorff distance was 7.0 ± 3.5 mm, 7.3 ± 2.0 mm, and 6.3 ± 2.0 mm for Group A, Group B, and Group B-consensus, respectively. Quantitative metrics were Dice, Hausdorff distance, and average distance. The Hausdorff Distance is a mathematical construct to measure the "closeness" of two sets of points that are subsets of a metric space. Individual aneurysms are defined as 3D connected components. Characterizing the performance of image segmentation approaches has been a persistent challenge. This measure also satisﬁes the triangle inequality. which defines the Hausdorff distance between A and B, while eq. In this post, we’ll write a surface distance function in Python … The output of the method has a higher resolution than RISE and is more accurate. One example of a morphing distance is the Earth Mover’s Distance. The problem Compute various statistics of image segmentations In order to find the distance between two shapes, I find contours of each shape and then pass the contours two the following functions: ShapeDistanceExtractor::computeDistance(contours1, … segmentation_statistics¶ nighres.statistics.segmentation_statistics (segmentation, intensity=None, template=None, statistics=None, output_csv=None, atlas=None, skip_first=True, ignore_zero=True, save_data=False, overwrite=False, output_dir=None, file_name=None) [source] ¶ Segmentation Statistics. Measuring Hausdorff distance in brain lesion segmentation studies is crucial since misclassifications far from the lesion boundaries are more severe. As it calculates the distance between the set of points of shape A with Shape B. In medical image segmentation, AVD is used to compare ground truth images with segmentation results allowing their ranking. In mathematics, the Hausdorff distance, or Hausdorff metric, also called Pompeiu–Hausdorff distance, measures how far two subsets of a metric space are from each other. Rucklidge. It offers capabilities, like viewing medical data (Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), etc.) – … The problem is that Modified Hausdorff Distances used the position to calculate the similarity between 2 shapes. Tools for evaluating segmentation results (Hausdorff distance, Jaccard and Dice values, surface distances etc.) The Hausdorff distance is the maximum distance between any point on image0 and its nearest point on image1, and vice-versa. It relies on the partial directed Hausdorff distance. Therefore making it Translation Invariant. However, existing segmentation methods do not attempt to reduce HD directly. The problem is that there is no nicely packaged function in Python to do this directly. An abundance of filters for image segmentation workflows, from classics such as Otsu thresholding to level sets and watersheds. In this paper, we present novel loss functions for training convolutional neural network (CNN)-based segmentation methods with the goal of reducing HD directly. These are the top rated real world Python examples of scipyspatialdistance.directed_hausdorff extracted from open source projects. For the segmentation results of liver tumor, Dice was 0.689, Hausdorff distance was 7.69, and the average distance was 1.07; for the segmentation results of the liver, Dice was 0.965, Hausdorff distance was 29.162, and the average distance was 0.197. according to the paper "Comparing Images using the Hausdorff distance." The HD is an important met-ric that is commonly used in many domains like image processing and pattern matching as well as evaluating the quality of clustering. directed_hausdorff (u, v[, seed]) Compute the directed Hausdorff distance between two N-D arrays.

Run Kid Run's New Album "Patterns" Out November 15th!
Run Kid Run new album entitled "Patterns" is available in stores and online November 15th!
For this project, the band teamed up with producers Matt Thiessen of Relient K and Mark Townsend (Relient K, The O.C. Supertones). Though that pair has collaborated countless times before on Relient K records, time with Run Kid Run sparked their inaugural co-production partnership.
“Mark definitely brought on the rock sound and he loves messing around with guitar sounds, different amps and tons of pedals,” explains front man David Josiah Curtis. “And Matt definitely brought the pop side to the record concentrating on melodies and lyrics.”
“We can all get stuck in the same routines and patterns, and if we’re not careful, we can find ourselves living in the same spot for quite a long time,” continues Curtis. “This record is about choosing to get out of those patterns and renewing your mind, but it’s also about not conforming to the patterns of the world. We just want to encourage fans to do the same.”
For more information and artwork, check out the album page, and stay tuned for music, goodies and more!

A bit deeper gameplay, starving for feedback, stuff like this.
Posted by Pecek.2sd on Jan 15th, 2013
So the main idea was to keep gameplay as simple as possible. Yeah, well, that was cool until I didnt wanted to play it more then an hour - after that it was boring. Sooo here is the plan to make the gameplay a bit deeper(before you ask, no, I did not traced this).
Maybe I will add scroll too later, but I'm not sure about this one(I could create awesome levels with that, but the gameplay would be a lot different, and I'm not sure if that would be good thing or not - I will think about it later.) The other thing, I just made a small feature, you can move the bloopies(you know, those little fluid-like things) for a short time, which is also cool.
Anyway, something going to happen soon, so stay tuned mates!
PS: ohh, and I really would like to hear some feedback from you, so spam me with your thoughts!

Below is a summary of the article “Lessons from Mount Laurel: The Benefits of Affordable Housing for All Concerned” by Douglass Massey.
In 1983, the New Jersey Supreme Court declared that all municipalities in New Jersey had to have their fair share of affordable housing in that region. This declaration prevented zoning so that all the affordable housing wasn’t concentrated in one place. Unfortunately, NIMBY attitudes (“Not In My Back Yard”) prevent home builders and non-profits from building affordable housing that can benefit everyone. Because of NIMBYism, affordable housing is usually concentrated in particular localities creating significant transportation, education and employment problems.
The township and litigants entered into consent in 1985, but the affordable development, known as Ethel Lawrence Homes (ELH), would not open their doors for the next fifteen years. Recently, this affordable housing development was finally opened and it offered an opportunity to evaluate the impact that affordable housing has on residents and neighbors in the surrounding community.
One hundred affordable Units were allocated to low- and moderate-income families on a first-come, first-served basis. Another 40 units were completed and filled in the same fashion in 2004.
From 2009 – 2010, a team evaluated the effects the Ethel Lawrence Homes development had on different neighborhoods. They compared trends in home values, tax burdens, and crime rates in Mount Laurel before and after 2001. They found no differences before and after ELH opened its doors. Having affordable housing in the area did not bring with it all the dangers that people think of when they hear “affordable housing.” In fact, the team discovered that a third of the community was unaware there was an affordable housing development in their area. Less than fifty percent of the community was able to name the project.
The way that ELH determined who could live in the affordable housing units to was by:
- Tenants had to complete a hand written application.
- All applications would be assigned a number according to the order they were submitted.
- In order, the applications would be evaluated and if they met income and other eligibility criteria determined from the form, they were offered a unit in the development.
Researchers who were evaluating ELH found that those living in the facility had a higher percentage of employment and lower welfare rates. Children in ELH residences also gained access to higher quality schools. Overall, people living at ELH had greater success rates in income and their children attended better schools.
By allowing more affordable housing, New Jersey greatly benefitted its citizens. ELH residents benefitted by getting increased access to jobs and better quality schools. They got a fair shot at working their way into a better life. Its time Virginia took a serious look at NIMBYism and the lack of affordable housing in most of our communities.

AGL Bremen has just executed a heavy haulage project from Volgodonsk, Russia to Temirtau in Kazakhstan. The order was given to AGL Bremen by one if the world leading suppliers for Steel Mill equipment.
After intensive checking of several routes and options AGL has awarded PLA Partner GoodRich CIS for operational handling of the several truck loads. Coordination and Project Management was done by AGL’s Headoffice in Bremen.
Cargo consisted of following items:
2 Units / each 1225 x 480 x 485cm / 49 tons each
2 Units / each 690 x 480 x 465cm / 28 tons each
3 Units / each 1200 x 475 x 435cm / 27 tons each
Especially the items with a height of 485 cms forced AGL to check the exact routing and all obstacles from loading place to discharging location. Although it was not needed to pass any huge cities also smaller bridges as well as power lines, signal lamps etc had to be passed.
After a journey of about 6-7 days all cargo was delivered to final destination and further erecting of the new steel mill in Temirtau can go on…

Profile and Evaluation of Dermatophytosis
Background: Dermatophytosis is an infection of the tissues, for example, the stratum corneum of the epidermis, hair, and nails, which is caused by dermatophyte fungi group. This retrospective study has never been done before and the 2011-2013 election was conducted due to changes in the health insurance system at RSUD Dr. Soetomo. Purpose: To evaluated patient management of dermatophytosis in Mycology Division Outpatient Clinic Dr. Soetomo General Hospital 2011-2013. Methods: A descriptive retrospective study the aim to evaluated general description, epidemiology, clinical manifestation, establisment diagnosis, management and repeated control new patient dermatophytosis. Results: Percentage new case dermatophytes infection increased, but the number of visits to URJ for 3 years decreased. The most diagnosis is tinea corporis. Most cases come from Surabaya. The most patient complaints are itching. The most efflorescence is polycyclic. Griseofulvin is the most therapeutic choice given in the case of tinea corporis. Conclusions: In this study most cases of dermatophytosis is tinea korporis. The diagnosis approach of dermatophytosis diagnosis was obtained by anamnesis, physical examination, and additional examination. Most of dermatophytosis treated with antifungal griseofulvin.

Thank you so much to the publishers for an arc in exchange for an honest review!
“Panic creeps up on me, slowly, steadily, from its hiding place on the stones, and latches on to me with its greedy, sucking mouth.”
This book was not what I expected in the least, but that WRITING! THE WAY THINGS ARE DESCRIBED.
This is one of those stories with a plot so complex and detailed, that if you don’t pay attention and focus with everything you have, you’re going to feel lost.
But if you’re interested in a creepy, atmospheric (the atmosphere reminded me so much of the Bronte sisters), then this is the book you need!!
Also, it takes place on the very tip of South America + is written by an Argentine-American author, so the OwnVoices cultural/historical content enriched my life.
Sidenote: There was nearly a reference to my favorite The Bell Jar quote!!!!! This book says: “I’m here, I’m here, I’m here, I’m here, I’m here…I feel the mantra like a heartbeat, its rhythm giving me new life.” And Sylvia Plath wrote: “I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am.”.
Overall, the writing style was so dreamy. Gosh.

The Rain, The Dance, The Tears
With touch and wishes and rain romance.
He dared to move a lovely dance.
Set the fears aside, let the hopes remain.
“Tell me.” She asked. “Have you ever danced somebody under the rain?”
“Ah!” He said. “I did. To you I have danced.”
“How?” She wondered. “We had never met once.”
“In my dreams.” He replied. “I held you in my arms.”
“You’re graceful and enchanting, a dance full of charms.”
“So now, under this cold I dance in luck,”
“Hoping that in real, you will dance with me back.”
He moved, held her in her hips and took his steps of tempo.

The original Walkman introduced a change in music listening habits by allowing people to carry music with them and listen to music through lightweight headphones. The prototype was built in 1978 by audio-division engineer Nobutoshi Kihara for Sony co-chairman Akio Morita, who wanted to be able to listen to operas during his frequent trans-Pacific plane trips. Continue reading to see what happened when The Fine Bros gave a group of kids a Walkman and asked them to explain what it does.
The original Walkman was marketed in 1979 as the Walkman in Japan and, from 1980, the Soundabout in many other countries including the US, Freestyle in Sweden and the Stowaway in the UK. Advertising, despite all the foreign languages, still attracted thousands of buyers in the US specifically. Morita hated the name “Walkman” and asked that it be changed, but relented after being told by junior executives that a promotion campaign had already begun using the brand name and that it would be too expensive to change.

It’s easy to make a song this perfect: All you have to do is be exiled by the Brazilian dictatorship in 1969. Then move to London. Then get allowed back into the country, just to briefly visit your parents. Then get told by the military dictatorship to write a pro government song celebrating the construction of a road to the Amazon. Then refuse the offer, return to exile and record one of the most ground breaking albums in Brazilian music history. Then have this be the opening track. Simple, right? Caetano Veloso’sTransa transcends genres, blending English and Portuguese, rock and Brazilian roots.
Above: Caetano with Gal Costa, pre-exile.

General Dynamics Canada sells smart display units
by CanadianManufacturing.com Staff
OTTAWA: General Dynamics Canada (GDC) will supply more than 1,000 Smart Display Units (SDU) for installation in U.S. Army Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles.
The order represents the first use of Ottawa-based GDC’s technology on the MRAP platform.
The MRAP vehicles’ command, control, communications and computer, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities are being upgraded to support future growth and improve operational capability.
GDC’s SD7310 smart display for on-the-move operation in armoured fighting and tactical vehicles integrates a 10.4-in. ruggedized computer and high-resolution touch-screen display into a single device.
“Establishing this footprint on MRAP is strategically important to GDC and the future of our vehicle electronics business,” said David Ibbetson, general manager of GDC.
There are more than 16,000 MRAP vehicles in service with the U.S. Army. The current order reflects requirements of a first phase program in which 500 MRAP vehicles will be upgraded and each will be equipped with two SD7310 displays.
GDC received the order from WestWind Technologies Inc., which was recently awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the U.S. Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (TACOM LCMC) to supply the C4ISR digital backbone B-Kits. TACOM is the acquisition and support center for all of the Army’s ground vehicles.
General Dynamics Corp. makes defence electronic systems and integrates complete Command, Control, Communication, Computing, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) solutions. Headquartered in Falls Church, Va., it employs approximately 91,000 people worldwide.


Expert Lawyers Say Patient Safety Must Be The Focus Of Decision Into Services At The Trust
By Helen MacGregor
Medical law experts representing dozens of victims of the scandal hit Mid-Staffordshire Trust say proposed plans to dissolve a number of services should only be implemented if it can be proven that patient safety will not be jeopardised.
Health Administrators have proposed to dissolve critical care, maternity and paediatric services at Stafford Hospital, but it will keep its current part-time accident and emergency department.
Trust Special Administrators (TSA), appointed by the Department of Health in April, said in their report outlining the proposals that "there is no alternative but to make significant change" at Stafford and neighbouring Cannock Chase Hospital.
The recommendations are subject to a public consultation which will begin today (August 6) running until October 1. If agreed, it would mean major emergency surgery and most trauma care, neonatal services and paediatric inpatient services - with the exception of its assessment unit, would all be moved to other hospitals in the region.
Among services which are proposed to stay at Stafford are elective surgery, adult inpatient care, as well as out-patient and diagnostic appointments, all of which will be largely unaffected by the shake-up.
Healthcare currently provided at Cannock Chase Hospital should also stay as it is, according to the administrators' recommendations.
The report's authors say that without major change "future local patient safety is at stake" pointing to the trust's small size as one reason why care at the trust in its current form cannot safely continue, long-term.
It is also proposing the trust is dissolved and the hospitals be run by neighbouring trusts, in a bid to save money.
Mandy Luckman, an Irwin Mitchell Partner and medical law expert who has been involved in litigation against the Midlands Trust since 2005, said: “It is crucial that after years of Inquiry and questioning, action is taken to address the systemic failures identified within Mid-Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust.
“Our clients suffered appalling care at hospitals managed by this Trust and we, along with local residents, want assurances that everything possible is being done to prevent these errors from happening again.
“We welcome the public consultation into the proposed plans to dissolve a number of services within the Trust and hope that patients, staff and local residents reach a conclusion by having patient safety at the heart of the decision making process. That way it cannot be jeopardised in the same way again.”

Everybody thinks Ibiza is a quite expensive place, especially during hot season (between May and October). This may actually be true if you don’t really know the right places or the plans. However, remember the say: “best things in life are usually free”. We couldn’t agree more with this statement. And, in contrary of what people usually say, you can also enjoy free or affordable plans in Ibiza if you choose them properly.
From Oceanbeat we want to advice you about 5 free (or really affordable) plans to enjoy your summer in Ibiza with a tight budget. Ready? Here they go
1. Dance to the beat of the drums in Benirrás You haven’t been to Ibiza if you haven’t attend the so called “Fiesta de los Tambores” (Drums Party) in Benirrás. This is one of the most traditional and iconic plans in Ibiza as it’s been celebrated for many many years. Enjoy the sound of the drums and feel the hippie environment of the island while watching the sunset from Benirrás Beach. This party usually takes place every Sunday.
2. Book tickets for a boat party!
Even if this plan is not free, it is one of the best quality-price options to enjoy a day in Ibiza. Oceanbeat offers the best music, drinks and environment for party lovers, as well as a more relaxed option for those who are seeking to enjoy a sunny day with their families from the sea. What else do you need to have the best day in Ibiza?
3. Watch the sunset from any of the iconic natural spots
Ibiza’s sunset is one of the most beautiful ones worldwide. You can watch it from many popular beach clubs while you enjoy a drink but you can also do it from any of the hidden coves, beaches or natural points. Our recommendations? The West coast of the island is the best point to watch the sunset in Ibiza and one of most special spots to enjoy it is from Es Vedrá.
4. Trekking or go on an excursion
Are you a lover of nature and adventure? Ibiza is definitely your island! Many people don’t know about this but Ibiza is the perfect place to walk or to do trekking while you discover amazing natural spots. One of top excursions to do is the Atlantis one, where you will discover ancient hippy coves and other natural hidden spots. Our advice is that you bring lots of water and good sneakers or boots. The excursion is quite hard but is is definitely worth it!
5. Snorkel in the crystalline blue waters
Balearic islands are famous worldwide for their crystalline blue waters. If you like swimming and snorkelling, your trip to Ibiza is your best chance to do it! Just grab your diving googles and enjoy the views and the quite water. And remember, if you decide to join Oceanbeat Daytime Catamaran, you will also have the chance to swim and snorkel in really special and unique places.

Natural, time-tested ingredients can be used in innovative ways in an ever-evolving marketplace. One case in point: vinegar.
A natural ferment, vinegar has been used to preserve foods for thousands of years and is commonly used in home kitchens, for pickling vegetables, and is a frequently used and longtime food preservative in commercial settings.
At a time when consumers are clamoring for natural ingredients, vinegar fits the bill. Research from Mordor Intelligence projects that products with natural preservation will grow 6.75% annually to $51.1 billion by 2024. Another study from Ingredient Communications found that consumers across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific will pay more for foods made with ingredients they recognize and trust.
In meat marinades, vinegar serves as a tenderizing agent that helps break down proteins in tougher cuts such as round steaks, flank steaks, pork chops, and chicken breasts, among others. In processed meats, lower-acid vinegar helps manufacturers get the desired texture in their products.
Corbion offers concentrated buffered vinegars with higher pH levels to provide specific functionality while minimizing flavor impact. Buffered vinegar can also limit the sodium contribution in a product and can be applied at lower usage levels.
According to Garrett McCoy, Applications Group Manager, Corbion’s buffered vinegars have a range of pH levels, with usage depending on the finished product type. “The higher the vinegar pH value, the better the texture, juiciness, cooking performance and overall flavor. This is the preferred outcome,” he explains.
Using highly concentrated acids without buffering can lead to products like bacon, ham, turkey breast and hot dogs falling apart due a type of curdling of [meat] proteins and subsequent lack of binding.
In addition to product attributes such as taste, texture, mouthfeel and functionality, considerations like water binding and cook yield, there are food safety advantages to using buffered vinegar in meat, including RTE processed meats. The natural acid present in buffered vinegar creates a hostile environment for the growth of microorganisms such as Listeria monocytogenes. “There are three modes of action for antimicrobial functions in finished products, without creating quality challenges: the right level of protonated effective acid, suppression of water activity and the blocking of energy generation,” McCoy says. Corbion incorporates this concept and includes the various vinegar solutions in its online Listeria Control Model (https://clcm.corbion.com)
As with all ingredient usage, the type of meat application determines which vinegar choice is best. Corbion offers several liquid and powder buffered vinegars for a range of meat and poultry products:
- Verdad® Powder N6, a patented vinegar powder, is used globally and has a neutral taste. The powder can be added to spice blends and the product requires less storage and logistics to handle.
- Verdad® N9 is the most highly concentrated liquid vinegar on the market and the patented production process offers highly optimized taste with no sodium contribution
- Verdad® N450 is a highly concentrated powder blend with lower sodium and a higher pH that imparts the most neutral flavor.
- Verdad® N460 powder is a virtually sodium-free dry vinegar blend and is highly concentrated, with higher pH for neutral flavor. Trace amounts of sea salt are added to create a free-flowing powder for use in high-pH applications.
- Organic vinegars with a neutral taste for meat applications: Verdad® SB 300 (with a low pH) and Verdad PC® 300.
Similar products with different names may be available for other regions, including Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific.

Here’s the first trailer for Ridley Scott’s let-my-people-go epic, Exodus: Gods and Kings, starring Christian Bale. The movie follows Moses (played by Bale) on an epic biblical adventure as he defiantly rises up against the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses which will be played by eyeliner-wearing Joel Edgerton leading 600,000 on an exodus from Egypt. We already how well Ridley Scott directed The Gladiator so let’s hope this one is no less. Look for the film in theaters beginning December 12, 2014. Watch the trailer above.


The Akron Marathon was my very first marathon. I barely trained for it as I signed up just four weeks out. I’d been a runner since grade school, but I’d never covered anything close to 26.2 miles. In fact, here’s a little confession: prior to the race, my longest training run – heck, my longest run, period! – was only10 miles. And I only did it once, just three weeks before the race. I signed up after I met a marathoner who was nothing short of inspirational. There was something about the way he talked about it – like the experience was magic or something.
A rookie to the core, I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I lined up at the start line. Right before the bell went off, I remember hearing someone say that the total elevation change for the course was something like seven — or maybe it was several — miles. I hadn’t even thought to look at the elevation chart. I was as green as it gets when it came to distance running. But looking back, that probably helped me. I had no clue what I was getting into, so there was no fear of failing or even pressure to finish.
I just went out and ran.
Five hours, 35 minutes and some seconds later, I crossed the finish line.
The marathon was supposed to be a bucket list item. Something I’d do once, check off the list, and move on. Instead, I signed up for another one…two weeks later.
I was completely hooked.
This began my decade-long (and counting!) commitment to the marathon and Akron.
Fast forward 10 years, 13 marathons, two ultras, and countless shorter distance races later, and Akron is still my favorite. And not just for sentimental reasons.
Despite it’s increasing popularity and the addition of a half marathon and relay, it still feels like a small race. It’s still extremely well organized and the vibe is unlike other races I’ve run. The entire community of Akron gets involved in the event – whether they’re running, volunteering, or cheering.
Runners in the Akron Marathon are guided by a blue line that runs the entire 26.2 miles of the course – through the city, the University of Akron, Sand Run Park, and several neighborhoods. The people in these neighborhoods treat the race like a block party – dolling out food (marshmallows, anyone?), drinks (including beer!), and tons of encouragement to any runner in need. These amazingly welcoming people are part of the reason I love this race. While I’m not their neighbor, I usually feel like one as I run by their homes. On more than one occasion, I’ve seen people let runners into their houses to (I assume) use the rest room. What kind of person does that? An Akronite that’s who.
During this year’s race, I actually found myself looking for houses for sale along the blue line. My husband and I are planning to move back to Ohio (my home state), and it would be all too appropriate if we ended up living on the line. I had a rough patch from miles 21 to 24, but the thought of being these people’s neighbor somehow made it more bearable.
Speaking of miles, you probably started reading this because you want to hear about this year’s actual race, right? I know my friend J.J. and Oiselle teammates are nodding their heads right now, so I’ll get to it.
Going into this year’s marathon, I was nervous about how the miles would unfold. Despite being a 10-year veteran, the pre-race nerves and taper – or as I like to call it, hell — still get to me. In the days leading up to the race, I think know I drove my husband crazy with my self-doubting, hypochondria, and short-temper. (Sorry, honey!) All this usually fades away after the start, but not so much this year. Something felt strange, and I just couldn’t shake it. I wanted this year/race to be special, but I wasn’t sure I had that in me…
I ran the first 13.1 in a time that used to be my half PR not too many years ago, but my lack of long runs (being an entrepreneur = less time to run) made me doubt my ability to keep that pace. I kept on going, though, consoling myself with the idea that I’d done this race before on far less training.
At mile 20, I told myself I only had a 10K left. Then the previously mentioned rough patch (or “wall,” if you prefer) hit me…hard. My legs felt like lead and no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t get them to go. Fortunately, as he so kindly often does, my husband was riding his bike along side of me during this part of the course, so I had some distraction from the self-doubting marathon monsters inside my head. With a few miles left, he pointed out that I had a chance to set my course record if I “go now.” I wasn’t sure I — specifically my legs — was capable of much more, and the “runner’s high” that comes with the realization that I’m going to finish a marathon hadn’t kicked in yet. But I’d have to wait an entire year to have another shot at a CR, so I asked myself, “Do you want this or not?”
I did. So I went for it.
At mile 25 the euphoria (finally!) kicked in.
I’m not sure how I did it, but according to Garmin, I ran the final 1.2 miles at 8:59 pace — smiling all the way. (Note: Ridiculously photogenic runner guy, you’ve got nothing on me!)
I crossed the line in 4:25:17 – three minutes and 54 seconds faster than my previous CR and my second fastest marathon time.
It was a time and effort befitting of my 10th anniversary with Akron and marathoning. And one I hope to beat next year.
A special thanks to the Witten (formerly Payne) pitcrew for all of your love, support, and encouragement (and getting up at the crack of dawn!) over the past 10 years. I wouldn’t have made it one mile without you.

A team of Doctoral researchers from the University of Cambridge had been developing a medical device that has the potential to vastly decrease the cost of amputee care for healthcare providers and patients. First Step Consulting was engaged to pinpoint how each stakeholder in the UK healthcare system would be affected in the case of this new device being widely adopted.
This healthcare start-up was struggling to assess the potential economic impact of their technology. The co-founders had already entered into negotiations with several potential investors, so their need to remedy this problem was urgent and it was imperative that their numbers were right.
Initially we developed a detailed understanding of the patient pathway and identified six critical stages (e.g. surgery, prosthetic fitting). We also closely examined the various stakeholders in this industry, such as the NHS and prosthetic manufacturers. To outline the cost structure for the care of a typical amputee patient in the first year following their surgical operation, we created a model which incorporated nearly one hundred input variables, such as the average annual cost of prosthetic maintenance.
After collecting and processing the data, we generated different scenarios to assess the economic impact of the client’s technology and mapped out the ways in which it could potentially change the healthcare industry. Our dedicated consultants conducted intensive research that lasted approximately seven weeks. We subsequently validated our findings with the support of a number of industry experts and healthcare professionals.
At the end of the project, the client was presented with a dynamic spreadsheet model which allowed them to input and apply their own set of assumptions. This was designed to allow them to update these assumptions in the future as their business progressed. This was provided alongside a report detailing our recommendations and listing the assumptions and data sources which our model had been built on. Based on our analysis, we were able to conclude that should our client’s technology be adopted as industry standard in the UK, the cost of prosthetic socks and fittings could be almost entirely eliminated, and the average total cost of amputee care could be reduced by approximately one third. The client reported back to us that they used our findings to size their accessible market and develop their pricing strategy. Following from this, they also commissioned the start of another project with us in the same year.
“Our work with First Step Consulting gave us an in-depth view of our core market enabling us to size our market and develop our pricing strategy. We were thoroughly impressed by the team’s diligence and professionalism throughout the project and look forward to working on future projects.”
