Turn Inspiration into Action to Work Creatively
Welcome to Week 3 of the Creativity Kick-Start! During the last two weeks, we did the prep work necessary to get working creatively and expressively. In week 1, find your creative flow, we established a clear physical workspace and a focused state of mind. In week 2, identify your artistic vision, we set goals in place that will keep us accountable as we work. This week we set our creativity in motion, by gathering inspiration and starting to create!
This week’s challenge to kickstart your creative flow:
Turn your inspiration into action
We all know the dreaded scenario: pen or paintbrush poised and…. nothing. You draw a blank. And then there’s that sudden compulsion to check your email and grab a quick snack. “Why not do this later?” you think, or “start fresh tomorrow?” The nagging tasks that have been sitting in your inbox seem more urgent than your creative work, but stay calm. We can work through this.
If you haven’t flexed your creative muscle in a while, it may be a bit flabby. But don’t worry, we’re going to whip it into shape. Like any form of training, the best method is to start immediately, go slowly, and build up your endurance. Baby steps.
Rather than going cold turkey and relying on willpower alone, we’re going to use inspiration as a springboard to action. Particularly if you work in a left-brain oriented job, or if you spend a lot of time working on analytic, practical projects, the easiest way to flip over to your right brain, creative and intuitive side, is to get inspired. And an easy way to do that, is to take inspiration from others. Look at what you love, at what gets you excited. Steep yourself in it.
The ‘secret’ to overcoming a “creative block” is uncovering the natural momentum that comes out of the work itself. Work comes out of work. Once you’re into a project, ideas flow freely and one project leads often seamlessly to the next. So the most important thing is just to get started. Take the very first step to get the ball rolling.
I’ve broken the process of moving through inspiration to action into 4 steps:
Turn Your Inspiration into Action in 4 Steps
- Step 1: Gather Inspiration
- Step 2: Evaluate your Ideas
- Step 3: Reconnect Mind and Body
- Step 4: Take Creative Action
Step 1: Gather Inspiration
This is the easy and fun part. You may already have sources of inspiration for your project or you may need to spend some time looking for them and gathering them together. Give yourself a clear time-frame for this task which is set out in advance. You know what you love. Think of things that make you say ‘wow, I wish I’d made that’. Or look at your favorite pieces, the ones you’re most proud of. Maybe you have a place where you keep your ideas like a bulletin board, scrapbook, or folder. Go to it.
Possible sources of inspiration include:
- your sketchbooks, journals, notes
- online: Instagram, Pinterest, artist websites
- books, magazines, art books or exhibition catalogues
If you don’t have one already, create a file folder or a book where you can keep cutouts, clippings, notes, sketches, color swatches, and other materials that are relevant to your project (postcards, photos). Make a pinboard or buy yourself a journal You may want an online board on platforms like Pinterest.
Danger alert: Many people get stuck in this first stage. It is essential to put strict limits on the time that you allot to searching and looking through sources of inspiration. Or else you may find yourself falling down an endless rabbit hole. I’m sure it has happened before, you’re browsing online or checking recent activity on social media, and the next thing you know, hours have gone by. You’ve forgotten what you were looking for in the first place.
The key is staying focused on the task at hand. Keep your project in the forefront so that you’ll be focused on finding the sources of inspiration that you need, while filtering out what you don’t. There will be plenty of shiny things that spark your interest, but let some of them fall away, and grasp onto the relevant pieces of information.
Try this exercise: Write down what you envision for the project. What got you excited about it in the first place? Write as much as possible, whatever comes into your mind, without censoring yourself. It may be words or phrases. Don’t be afraid to be intuitive. Be descriptive, make point form lists. If it’s a visual project: How should it look? What’s the feel or mood? If you’re a visual thinker, you may want to use thumbnail sketches to accompany your text.
Don’t skip this step! When you’ve generated as many ideas as you can, move on to step 2.
Step 2: Evaluate Your Ideas
Inspiration is nebulous, and expansive. It needs to be teased out. It’s time to shift from right-brain thinking, in which we generated sources of inspiration, to left-brain evaluation. This will require a pen and paper. First, go through your sources of inspiration and identify:
- the qualities you admire in each (be very specific)
- what about them attracted you (it may be style, color, concept, overall look-and-feel)
- how they relate to your project (either visually, structurally, or conceptually)
- what you want to take from them
This step is about gaining further clarity and precision. It will help you find your own footing, and determine where someone else’s idea ends and your project begins. Remember your own artistic vision (which we established last week) and determine how your inspiration feeds it. If your project starts to feel like a replica of someone else’s project, don’t be immediately discouraged. Take a step back, evaluate the differences between your project and theirs, and trust your gut if you feel that you urgently need to create this project. Just because two things appear similar, doesn’t mean they are, just remember to emulate rather than imitate. We learn a lot from exploring what we love. And we eventually find our own voice, no matter what.
Step 3: Reconnect mind and body
Sometimes you may feel like you need to physically remove yourself from your inspiration. Up until now you’ve been all in your head (constructing the ideas that will determine how you create) and it’s time to get reconnected with your body to link idea with action. Take a moment to reinforce that mind-body connection. Perhaps that means going for a walk (or better yet, a wander), doing some yoga, playing with pets, taking a shower, or taking a stretch break to release the tension between your eyes, your shoulder blades, and your vertebrae.
This doesn’t mean abandoning the methodical head space you’ve cultivated by plunging into a binge-watching Netflix break; instead, it means taking a lateral step into an activity that maintains your mindfulness and focus, and helps you get your thoughts in order.
Doing something different frees your mind and cultivates creative flow. Many of the greatest philosophers swore by their daily strolls. “All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking,” wrote Nietzsche. When mind can wander, it makes unexpected connections, works through association, and processes new information. New ideas often spring up when we are doing something entirely unrelated.
Best of all, getting into your body means you’ll be more calm, centered, and grounded as we move onto step 4.
Step 4: Take Creative Action
It’s time to come back to your workspace.
Through this step-by-step process, you’ve built confidence in your creative capacities and you need to trust that you know what is needed for your project. You have the ability to carry it through to completion. Take a moment to tell yourself that you can do this. Connect with the freedom and joy of creation. No one is there to judge you.
You’ve immersed yourself in sources of inspiration, brainstormed and digested information, and generated ideas. You’re well-equipped. Now, it is time to stop. Turn off the computer, close your art books. What served as sources of inspiration can now act as noise. Tune it out. Focus on yourself and what matters to you. By this time you’ve absorbed what you need. Trust that it is in their somewhere. Looking at more images or reading more articles won’t get you any further, it will only help you procrastinate.
If you’re a perfectionist, or have perfectionist tendencies, this may be challenging. You’ll feel like there is still more information to cover, more to learn. The truth is, you’ll learn the most in action, by doing.
If there are ideas that you haven’t fully formed yet, trust that it will all come out in the wash. All you have to do is get the ball rolling, because it doesn’t matter how fully formed your idea is, it will change and flex throughout the creation process. You’ll never have it all figured out beforehand, so just get started! Think back to that same Henri Matisse quote I cited last week: “Don’t wait for inspiration. It comes while one is working.”
I’m handing it over to you know. Commit to taking just a first step before you do anything else. Even if the conditions aren’t perfect or you don’t have much time. Just do something. It is a starting place and something to be proud of.

Magic: The Gathering breaks the trading card mold in stunning first look at 'Legends: A Visual History'
Magic: The Gathering is breaking free of its trading-card borders in a new visual history published by Abrams Books. Written by Wizards of the Coast and Jay Annelli (writer of the upcoming second book in the M:TG: Rise of the Gatewatch series), Legends: A Visual History goes on sale on Oct. 27 and contains nearly 300 pages of beautiful character and creature-based artwork, some of which has never been seen outside the context of the card game.
"I had a lot of freedom with choosing the characters. We tried to highlight Magic’s vast array of characters developed over the decades to give newcomers a sense of scope," Annelli tells SYFY WIRE in this exclusive sneak peek inside the book. "After a couple months of writing, we honed the book to be as newcomer-friendly as possible. The final character selection is based around both characters who are important to the story — past and present — and popular Commanders. My hope is that anyone can pick up the book and get a sense of the characters, while existing Magic fans might learn something new about the cards they see across the table."
While Annelli says that he's "been pretty consistently terrible at Magic" for the last two decades, he began writing articles about the game in 2015, around the debut of the "Gatewatch" story arc. "Five years later, I’m fairly well known as a lore guy from both my articles and my podcast, The Vorthos Cast — at least among Magic’s content creator community," he adds. "Commander, as it happens, is also my favorite way to play Magic and has kept me engaged in the game for a long time."
"I was more prepared for the process of writing a book than I thought I’d be," Annelli admits. "I’d been writing articles for long enough that while 20,000 words sounded daunting at first, especially when I was squeezing in writing time around a full-time job and parenting, but once I got in the groove I was writing a few thousand words in a day. I also thought I’d be lost in the logistics of putting a book like this together, but it turns out my graphic-design jobs in college prepared me for a lot of that, too. Don’t get me wrong, it was still a challenge, but I thought by the end of the process I’d be relieved to be done. Instead I wished there was more space to talk about characters!"
Annelli's favorite M:TG entity is Krenko, a goblin featured on the book's front cover (see below) in the bottom left corner. He says he believes that the character has been "unjustly maligned as a 'mob boss.'"
"As an Italian whose grandmother once described Al Capone as 'such a nice man,' I take exception when a legitimate business person and pillar of the goblin community like Krenko is slandered with false accusations about alleged ties to organized goblin crime," Annelli quips. "Goblins don’t often get a fair shake in Magic, and Krenko provides his community with protection against the authoritarian guilds of Ravnica, encourages entrepreneurship, and stands up for the little guy."
Standing front and center is Sisay: "[She's] the captain of the skyship Weatherlight" — it's the vessel everyone is aboard on the cover — "which was the core of 'The Weatherlight Saga,' the most prominent storyline of Magic’s early years in the '90s," Annelli explains. "Looking back, it’s pretty clear that Sisay was way more interesting than the somewhat bland Gerard, the '90s fantasy hero archetype who stole the spotlight back then. Sisay herself has received a brand-new Legendary Creature card in the last year, and alongside Krenko is the Commander of one of my favorite decks."
"Rethinking how I presented information for an audience that might know nothing about Magic was a challenge, but a fun one that I think really helped my writing overall," Annelli notes. "Suddenly, I had to think about all that jargon that I take for granted in Magic and that my readers were usually familiar with, and figure out how to write about everything without needing a glossary in the back. As someone who has always been about making things accessible and removing more gatekeep-y aspects of the fandom, it definitely pushed to me to rethink how I approached the lore."
Magic: The Gathering: Legends: A Visual History goes on sale Tuesday, Oct. 27. You can pre-order a copy on Amazon for $18.99.

Do plants use less water in absence of soil? Answered
I know this isn't a DIY project-type question, but I found it interesting to notice that a coleus clipping I planted in a water bottle with nothing but water in it tends to use less water then plants usually seem to do when they are planted with soil (I've had it planted since mid/late-June or earlier and the water has barely gone down, and some of that missing water would've been from evaporation). I'm guessing that it is using the same amount of water, but it seems like it uses less because plants with soil drain and spread out the water through the ground, making it necessary to water the plants more often than if you plant them in nothing but water, because most of the water drains away from the plant and into the surrounding area instead of being kept confined into a bottle/vase with the plant. Is this correct or do plants just use less water in the absence of soil?

Altered Beast, ToeJam & Earl, Dynamite Headdy, Sword of Vermilion, and Thunder Force II are the latest additions to the Nintendo Switch Online plus Expansion Pack, which launched in October, and are now available to play. Altered Beast is definitely one of those classic titles that’s worth giving a try, even if it’s just to hear that infamously terrible voiceover saying “rise from your grave.”
Apart from all of the regular benefits of the Nintendo Switch Online subscription, the Nintendo Switch Online plus Expansion Pack subscription service offers paying members the chance to play a selection of classic Nintendo 64 and SEGA Genesis games. These five new additions will join a list of over 20 SEGA and Nintendo 64 titles that are available to members, such as the recently added Paper Mario and Banjo Kazooie.

Players who already have a basic Nintendo Switch Online membership can get a discount on the addition of the Expansion Pack depending on how much time is left on their current active membership.

Right now, the only people receiving the new passports, which are embedded with an RFID chip that contains full passport information, including the photo, are only going to people served by the Passport Agency in Aurora, Colo.
A State Department spokesperson told eWEEK that the department plans to issue tourist e-passports at all of its domestic passport agencies by the end of 2006.
According to spokesperson Justin Higgins, the State Department had two primary reasons for moving to digital passports.
"The first is security and the second is convenience of travel," Higgins said.
"The Congress mandated that countries that are part of the visa waiver program have passports with integrated circuits that can store at least a digital image of the passport photograph for use with face recognition technology," he said.
Higgins said that the new e-passports should make life a little easier for travelers.
"The electronic passport will facilitate travel by allowing automated identity verification, faster immigration inspections, and greater border protection and security," he said.
Higgins also said that the new e-passport adds an important means of verifying that the information contained on the passport is accurate.
"The e-passport provides greater protection against data alteration than the current non-electronic passport by means of a digital signature," Higgins said.

What are nutritional supplements for and also what is it, why, as well as what nutritional supplements can you take? Exactly how do dietary supplements impact the body? Supplementing With Formula
Today more and more people are interested in these problems. To preserve health and wellness, it is necessary to have a balanced diet plan and also get an enough quantity of vitamins, minerals, micronutrient, and other crucial compounds with food. Without all these components, called micronutrients, which we need in minimal amounts – from micrograms to 1-2 grams daily – the body can not completely feature.
Weakening ecology, active use chemistry in farming as well as animal husbandry, technologies of automation, and also lasting storage space of food products have actually led to modern food having ceased to contain all the elements essential for life. On top of that, the problems for keeping food at retail outlets are not constantly respected; repetitively iced up and thawed food loses vitamins. Because of this, the diet of a modern person has actually rearranged towards higher intake of processed and improved foods, an extra of carbs, white flour products, as well as low-quality fats.
With deep handling, all one of the most valuable is gotten rid of from food: vitamins, micronutrients, fiber. And fast food, fast food, and also junk food are simply vacant calories. Such nutrition does not give us with everything we require and creates hypovitaminosis and also imbalance in the intestinal microflora. Supplementing With Formula
Even if you take in several fruits, vegetables, and natural herbs, you still will certainly not get the needed amount of naturally active compounds. Because the sheer quality of the items has changed, this is. Most of the vegetables and fruits in stores are delivered from afar, often from overseas. During this moment, they shed the majority of the important compounds. They look spectacular. Nonetheless, for example, the iron content in apples has decreased by practically 90% over the past decades. The content of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus by tens of percent.
About 600 types of macro-and trace elements are needed for human health and wellness, and their day-to-day shortage reduces our lives. They are of wonderful value for preserving wellness, controling all life cycle, for the birth of normal children. Particularly expecting ladies as well as children, the elderly, and also athletes need sufficient quantities of nutrients. And if at the very least one of them is missing, there are failings in the chains of biochemical reactions. With a systematic lack, the condition creates.
We have been staying in a state of shortage of the minerals and vitamin facility for 120 years! These are 6 generations of individuals. And the deficit in the material of necessary materials in food is expanding.
We experience a year-round vitamin shortage, not only in the winter-spring duration, as generally believed. Synthetic vitamins can not change all-natural ones in their action as well as, generally, are simply excreted from the body. It has been developed that modern-day food products include just around 10% of important materials contrasted to items 100-150 years earlier. This is an extremely worrying statistic, as well as the trouble has actually become worldwide. Supplementing With Formula
Additionally, our body’s capability to absorb nutrients deteriorates with age.
Zinc (Z) shortage in the body decreases resistance and the functioning of the nervous system as well as mind.
Prolonged magnesium (Mg) shortage results in a wear and tear in the performance of the heart, which can lead to a cardiovascular disease or stroke.
Absence of coenzyme (Q10) brings about a reduction in the level of ATP in the body, resulting in a person losing strength. Foods consisting of coenzyme Q10 are rich in fats as well as cholesterol, so they are contraindicated for people with cardiovascular disease. However, these are the people that require coenzyme Q10 in the first place.
Lack of calcium (Ca) causes a reduction in bone thickness and also, as a result, to raised frailty of the skeleton’s bones. The first symptoms of calcium shortage in the body show in the harmful effect of this shortage on the nerves. Absence of calcium in kids can result in poor pose (scoliosis) as well as the growth of flat feet.
Omega-3 fatty acids are extremely useful for maintaining the health and wellness of omega-3 PUFAs, which “protect” the heart as well as blood nerves, eyes and also vessels, joints, as well as skin. To keep vascular health for many years and also reduce the danger of vascular catastrophes, you require to improve your diet plan with omega-3 PUFAs every day.
B vitamins are required for psychological and also psychological tension – they reduce fatigue, increase effectiveness, help stand up to stress and anxiety, depression, insomnia. Needed daily for proper metabolic rate and also power manufacturing. Additionally, they impact vision, improve the structure of the skin, nails, and also hair. Supplementing With Formula
Healthy protein is the main foundation for the cells of the body. With its deficiency, decay procedures begin to dominate synthesis processes, which indicates that muscles, like the whole body, are not recovered, exhaustion, weak point accumulate, and also resistance reductions. To stay clear of such a growth of occasions, you need to satisfy the everyday requirement for complete healthy proteins.
Antioxidant vitamins (A, C, E) secure cell membrane layers from the damaging action of aggressive radicals, enhance the body’s resistance to infections and also damaging ecological variables, are required for the normal performance of joints, tendons, heart, blood vessels …
The speed of life is very high as well as requires increased consumption of vitamins, minerals, and various other beneficial compounds. Tension, acute rhinitis, as well as various other diseases, dramatically increase the consumption of these materials. Not all medical care experts comprehend the micronutrient deficiency trouble, suggesting drugs for people and believing that whatever else can be gotten from food. The technique to nutrition is gradually transforming, but it should be essentially transformed.
Micronutrients become part of dietary supplements to fill up dietary deficiencies of the entire spectrum of beneficial materials. These are, first of all, vitamins, mineral parts (minerals), macro-and microelements (greater than 20 components), and also 25 even more courses of natural materials (the most famous of them are phospholipids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, bioflavonoids, carotenoids).
Slagging of the body has come to be a natural outcome of modern-day nutrition. Nutritional supplements enable you to efficiently and also painlessly cleanse the intestinal tracts as well as the whole body from toxins and contaminants.
Nutritional supplements bring back enzyme activity as well as provide energy to cells, reinforce defenses, sustain the job and also control of interior body organs, lower the threat of numerous illness, consisting of such serious ones as stroke, cardiac arrest, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, cancer cells, cataracts.
Dietary supplements – suggests not only to preserve wellness however likewise to recover it. The use of nutritional supplements in parallel with drugs, including to eliminate their side effects and also improve the top quality of activity. In this situation, biologically active materials, unlike medicines, do not act on external indications – symptoms, but on the root causes of pathological procedures. Supplements are also made use of in the rehab duration after the treatment of operations and also diseases. For example, after chemotherapy programs, it is beneficial to take antioxidant dietary supplements.
One of the main jobs of dietary supplements is illness prevention. Nutritional supplements can and need to be utilized for prophylactic functions after antibiotic therapy.
What is the way out of this scenario? This is the reception of biologically energetic food additives – dietary supplements, which have been actively and also has actually long been exercised in industrialized nations. It is easier for a modern, extremely busy person to obtain the essential compounds in the form of concentrated products. Such products are nutritional supplements, where one pill considering only 1 gram consists of nearly whatever needed to preserve as well as, most importantly, restore health. Our body is a powerful self-healing system that works flawlessly just with a sufficient amount of natural vitamins and minerals.
In Japan, nutritional supplements are taken by greater than 90% of the populace, the ordinary life expectancy is 84 years, in the United States, dietary supplements are taken by 80% of people, life expectancy is 79 years, in Europe – 50%, life expectancy is more than 75 years.

Role and value of family physicians
As we wrap up Family Doctor Week in 2018, it’s important to consider the role of family doctors in our health-care system and the value they bring to the people of Nova Scotia.
Sometimes called expert generalists, family doctors treat the whole patient and must have an understanding of all of the body’s systems. This is increasingly important as they help patients manage multiple chronic illnesses.
Our extensive training and education is focused on developing the depth of medical knowledge needed to effectively assess and diagnose patients. We develop a strong scientific understanding of medicine, address other behavioural and socio-economic subjects, and complete many clinical hours in which we are exposed to a wide range of clinical situations and pathology. This enables family physicians to effectively develop differential diagnoses based on patient presentation, and establish appropriate treatment plans.
We are skilled at integrating information from multiple sources about patients, such as testing, specialists, community resources and interpreting the data/information for – and with – patients to enable shared care planning.
We are generalists who can work across various settings, such as office practice, in hospitals, in long-term care settings and be involved in care at multiple levels such as doing advanced procedures, obstetrical care, emergency care and surgical assists.
Research has shown that patients with access to care over the years from the same physician have fewer hospitalizations and better health outcomes, based in part on the relationship and trust that patients and their family physician have established over time. Better health outcomes means reduced costs by decreasing hospitalizations, re-admission rates, unnecessary diagnostic tests, professional visits and emergency department use.
We play an important role in coordinating patient care, advocating for patients, providing leadership at the practice, hospital/system and community levels, training and mentoring the physicians of tomorrow (as well as students of other health professions), and supporting quality improvement and research.
Family physicians are not better than other providers; they are different from other providers. And they are essential to an effective primary health-care system.
It’s an honour to be a member of the College of Family Physicians of Canada and it’s a privilege to serve my patients and my community.

I was commissioned (for no money) to produce a number of bubblegum cards featuring an assortment of Eastern Gods, philosophers, and some other people. The idea is that my friend is teaching a class on Eastern religions and thought that trading cards would be a great way to introduce the vast array of persons involved to the kids. So, I put these together and gave them something of a baseball-card feel. I also created the backs of the cards using provided text and away we go! These were printed on huge sheets and cut down to the standard size of 3.5″x2.5″.

Innovation Design Summit: Leading through the Integration of Health Care and Human Services
Design solutions to solve difficult problems and seize new opportunities at the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities’ Innovation Design Summits. Each summit will be focused on a different mission-critical issue to the Alliance network, and all will call on participants to roll up their sleeves.
These are not conferences. Innovation Design Summit participants will collaborate to design ideas and solutions that can be adopted and accelerated by the Alliance network. Presenters and collaborators from the Alliance network and public and corporate sectors will provide stimulus to inspire and guide work completed onsite.
Leading through the Integration of Health Care and Human Services
As health care in the U.S. continues to transform, the role of the human services sector as a critical partner remains to be established. However, health care leaders are increasingly recognizing the critical role that the social determinants of health play in improving upon health outcomes. Join this Innovation Design Summit to discuss how contributions of human services organizations can help to achieve the triple aim to:
- Reduce health care costs
- Improve health outcomes
- Improve patient experience
At this Innovation Design Summit, Alliance and health care leaders will learn, problem solve, and develop action plans around critical business issues that are essential to ensuring that the human services sector is positioned as a valued partner to advance improved health outcomes.
- Create mutually beneficial partnerships with health care
- Learn to structure sustainable financing and reimbursement models
- Navigate the cross-cultural dynamics of health care/social care partnerships
- Design interventions that achieve results with populations that have complex health and social needs
- Understand the data and evaluation variables in effective interventions
Who Should Attend
Come as a team! The challenges that will be addressed require a full array of skills and expertise. Participate as a team so that you will be prepared to take action right after the summit. This conference will be of interest to:
- Nonprofit human services organizations currently partnering with, or exploring partnerships with, health care partners
- Chief executives
- Chief Clinical Officers
- Chief Program Officers
- Staff who develop strategy and oversee efforts to improve health outcomes
- Policy and advocacy staff interested in health care issues
- Health care leaders, including health systems and payers, who recognize the imperative of developing partnerships with human service organizations

Our research focus
|Scientific Literature Mining||Social Media Mining||Health Record Mining|
|Published biomedical literature is complex, with its domain-specific terminologies and language structures. We utilize knowledge bases, meta-data, discourse structures, and free text to derive knowledge from published scientific articles.||Social media contains enormous volumes of user-posted data, which present various challenges for NLP such as colloquial language, misspellings, and noise. We develop innovative solutions to health-related problems utilizing social media big data by overcoming the various challenges presented by this domain.||Patient data, such as electronic health records, encapsulate crucial information about patient health and associations between medical entities. We use rule-based and machine learning techniques to perform optimized processing of health-related data, which can be used by practitioners at real time.|
In recent years, do-it-yourself (DIY) medical movements and direct-to-consumer (DTC) health technologies have made information, products and services available to the public that were previously sequestered in the “ivory tower” of science and medicine. While previous studies have examined online communities related to various diseases, there has been little research on online pregnancy forums—despite the fact that pregnant women are increasingly turning to technology to supplement maternal healthcare. The goal of this study is to explore the health content of online pregnancy forums on the WhattoExpect.com online birth club forums using a topic modeling approach, and to compare this data to the typical symptoms that women experience by month, as outlined by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). This study will illuminate how non-traditional data sources such as online pregnancy forums are transforming the patient-physician relationship in the realm of obstetrics.
Prescription Medication (PM) abuse is a major epidemic in the United States, and monitoring and studying the characteristics of the PM abuse problem requires the development of novel approaches. Social media encapsulates an abundance of data about PM abuse from different demographics, but extracting that data and converting it to knowledge requires advanced natural language processing and data-centric artificial intelligence systems. Our proposed social media mining framework will automate the process of big data to knowledge conversion for PM abuse, providing crucial insights to toxicologists about targeted populations and enabling the future development of directed intervention strategies.
Mining Social Media Postings for Mentions of Potential Adverse Drug Reactions
The overarching goal of this application is to deploy the infrastructure needed to explore the value of informal social network postings as a source of “signals” of potential adverse drug reactions soon after the drugs hit the market, paying particular attention at the value such information might have to detect adverse events earlier than currently possible, and to detect effects not easily captured by traditional means. Despite the significant challenge of processing colloquial text, our prototype study in this direction showed promising performance in identifying adverse reactions mentioned in these postings, with significant correlations between the effects mentioned by the public and those documented for the drugs we studied.
Social Media Data for Monitoring Medication Use and Effects during Pregnancy
Pregnancy exposure registries are the primary sources of information about the safety of maternal usage of medications during pregnancy. Such registries enroll pregnant women in a voluntary fashion early on in pregnancy, and follow them until the end of pregnancy or longer to systematically collect information regarding specific pregnancy outcomes. While the model of pregnancy registries has distinct advantages over other study designs, they are faced with numerous challenges and limitations, such as low enrollment rate, high cost and selection bias. The primary objectives of this study are to systematically assess if social media (Twitter) can be used to discover cohorts of pregnant women, and to develop and deploy a natural language processing and machine learning pipeline for automatic collection of cohort information. The long-term goal of the project is to derive associations between medication use during pregnancy and fetal outcomes.
Prescription Medication Abuse Surveillance through Social Media
Prescription medication overdose is the fastest growing drug-related problem in the USA. The growing nature of this problem necessitates the implementation of improved monitoring strategies for investigating the prevalence and patterns of abuse of specific medications. Our primary aims are to assess the possibility of utilizing social media as a resource for automatic monitoring of prescription medication abuse and to devise an automatic classification technique that can identify potentially abuse-indicating user posts.
Phylogeography of Zoonotic Viruses
Phylogeography is an emerging discipline in public health which allows researchers to model the evolution and migration patterns of viruses, and can be an especially useful tool for studying rapidly evolving viruses like RNA viruses. The goal of this project is to improve phylogeography models for tracking evolutionary changes in viral genomes and their spread. The addition of more precise geospatial metadata in building such models could enable health agencies to better target areas that represent the greatest public health risk. In addition, by improving geospatial metadata linked to popular sequence databases, we will enrich other sciences beyond phylogeography that utilize this information such as molecular epidemiology, population genetics, and environmental health.


The city of Buffalo received word Friday that it will receive a $1.56 million federal grant to buy 17 new police cars, refurbish the central booking bureau, and to pursue other anti-crime efforts.
The money, to be issued during the federal fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, is the third installment in the city's three-year Local Law Enforcement Block Grant.
Buffalo will receive one of the biggest awards in the state, said Rep. John J. LaFalce, D-Town of Tonawanda. Jurisdictions receive grants under the program based on the amount of serious violent crime in each community.
In total, New York communities will receive more than $38.5 million to reduce crime and improve public safety. More than $30 million of that will go to New York City.
Buffalo Police Commissioner Rocco Diina said the federal money will be spread among several anti-crime efforts.
The new marked and unmarked police cars will be the biggest expense, costing $415,000. The improvements at Central Booking will cost $220,000.
Other major expenses include $125,000 for crime prevention programs in individual neighborhoods, $100,000 for three juvenile delinquency prevention programs and $100,000 for community schools.
Other funds will go to pay for drug courts, bike patrols in city parks, a prosecutor for violent juvenile offenders, and several other efforts in the Police Department and other city offices.
"The funding will enhance the crime prevention efforts of law enforcement agencies which are tackling the most serious, violent crimes in the community," said Rep. Jack Quinn, R-Hamburg, who announced the grant with LaFalce. "This will give our police officers the ability to do their job more efficiently by allowing them to spend their time where they're needed most: out on patrol."
To get the federal money, the city will be required to come up with $173,268 in matching funds.
