Over the past decade technological advances in the realm of ultrasound have allowed what was once a cumbersome and large machine to become essentially hand-held. This coupled with a greater understanding of lung sonography has revolutionized our bedside assessment of patients. Using ultrasound not as a diagnostic test, but instead as a component of the physical exam, may allow it to become the stethoscope of the 21st century.
Until recently, the role of ultrasound has most notably been as an anatomic imaging test, confined to a specialized department in specialized hands. In the past decade, as technology continues to improve, ultrasound has made a move from the department to the bedside. First introduced in the emergency department, ultrasound was initially used as an adjunct in the trauma bay for the detection of pericardial or free intra-abdominal fluid. Its role has since expanded to the diagnosis of basic intra-abdominal pathology, safer line and tube insertion and confirming pregnancy, among many other uses.
For generations the stethoscope has been a symbol of the medical profession. Early physicians had only archaic tools at their disposal and while many have fallen by the wayside, the stethoscope remains an important part of medical culture. However, spawned by recent technological advances, there is now a movement afoot to use ultrasound as ubiquitously as the stethoscope. Ultrasound and the stethoscope share many similarities. Both are operator dependent, requiring practice and expertise to develop appropriate technique and skill. Comparing auscultation to echocardiography there is no question as to the superiority of ultrasound in the right hands, however pulmonary examination has been the limiting factor ... until recently.
Because ultrasound waves are nearly completely reflected by an air tissue interface, it was originally concluded that "ultrasound imaging is not useful for evaluation of the pulmonary parenchyma" . However, recent evidence reveals that an examination of the artifacts produced by lung ultrasound results in a wealth of information about the underlying lung.
A review of the medical literature was performed using Pubmed and articles pertaining to ultrasound-assisted assessment of the lung and the pleural space. The references of these articles were reviewed in order to locate additional articles. The literature selected was based on the preference and clinical expertise of authors.
Pleural and lung ultrasound can be performed with a number of probe types including high frequency linear probes or lower frequency curvilinear probes and cardiac phased arrays. A potentially contentious issue in lung ultrasound literature regards the appropriate probe choice. As this modality is still in its infancy and industry has yet to develop a dedicated lung transducer there is still not an accepted probe for this procedure and thus studies vary considerably in the probe used. The most popular probe seem to be a microconvex one ranging in frequency between 2-5 MHz [2–6]. However, others have used high frequency linear transducers (5-10 MHz) [7–9] or cardiac phased arrays (2-4 MHz) [10, 11]. No particular ultrasound machine is required and moderately priced portable machines will perform quite well. Useful adjuncts that aid certain diagnoses are M-mode (or time-motion mode) and colour power doppler.
To begin a pulmonary exam, the probe is applied tangentially to the chest wall and is oriented longitudinally. The "pleural line", which represents the parietal and visceral pleural interface, can typically be seen 0.5 cm below and between two rib shadows. Together, the upper rib, pleural line, and lower rib form a characteristic pattern, the bat sign .
The hallmark of lung ultrasound is lung sliding (Figure 1, Additional file 1). This refers to a to-and-fro movement of the mobile visceral pleural along the static parietal pleura that is synchronized with respiration [9, 12, 13]. When one becomes familiar with pleural and lung ultrasound, recognizing sliding becomes as reassuring as hearing breath sounds during auscultation.
The hallmark of lung ultrasound illustrating the normal lung. The pleural line (arrow) is seen below the rib shadows (R) on either side. In real time ultrasound, lung sliding - the visual equivalent of breath sounds, can be seen as motion at the pleural line.
The M-mode, or time-motion mode function, can help confirm and document the presence of lung sliding. Time-motion mode is a common ultrasound function that takes a single thin segment of the ultrasound field and displays changes within that segment over time. Motionless segments can be seen as a series of parallel lines, while disruption or obliteration of these parallel lines implies motion. If lung sliding is present then a 'seashore sign' will be present on M-mode. The 'seashore sign' is characterized by motionless parietal tissue over the pleural line and a homogenous granular pattern below it, thus indicating the presence of lung sliding (Figure 2) [12, 14]. More recently power color doppler has also been described to help confirm the presence of lung sliding, also called the 'power slide' sign (Figure 3, Additional File 2) .

A second important artifact is the comet tail artifact. The comet tail artifact, also known as a B-line or lung rocket, was first described in 1982 . It is a vertical narrow-based artifact that spreads out to the edge of the screen (Figure 4, Additional File 3). The comet-tail artifact appears when there is a marked difference in acoustic impedance between an object and its surroundings . These artifacts have been found to correspond to sub-pleural interlobular septa  that are generally visible when thickened by edema however, in the normal lung a few scant comet tail artifacts can be seen especially in the lower lobe just above the diaphragm .

By interpreting alterations in these important artifacts one can make important inferences about the underlying lung parenchyma. These diagnoses include pneumothoracies, pulmonary edema, pleural effusions and atelectasis/consolidation.
The diagnosis of pneumothorax was a relatively early clinical application of lung ultrasound. In fact, the first description of the role of ultrasound in the diagnosis of pneumothorax dates back to 1986 and was given by a veterinarian in the study of horses . It was described for use in humans one year later . Since then many studies have confirmed that ultrasound offers a highly accurate and rapid method to rule out the presence of a pneumothorax. The sensitivity and specificity reported in the literature may range from 80 - 98% and 94 to 99% respectively [3, 10, 13, 18–21] although readers should be suspicious of studies that use plain radiographs as the gold standard [10, 20]. Recent studies reveal that small penumothoracies can be initially missed in 30 to 80% of patients on supine chest radiograph [19, 21, 22]. CT scan may offer a much more sensitive diagnosis but it requires the patient be transported and significantly delays time to diagnosis.
Air impedes the passage of ultrasound waves, and air contained within the lung and within the pleural space appears similarly on ultrasound. Therefore, much of the work in ultrasound has focused on not confirming the presence of a pneumothorax but instead ruling out a pneumothorax. The presence of lung sliding implies that the visceral and parietal pleura are in apposition and are not separated by air thus precluding the possibility of a pneumothorax. The presence of this sign has been reported to be highly sensitive and specific in ruling out a pneumothorax when seen throughout the lung fields [7, 23–25].
The additional finding of a comet-tail artifact also implies that the intra-lobular septa can been seen. This would be impossible if a pneumothorax was present, as the air would interfere with visualization of the underlying lung. Comet-tail artifacts have been shown to rule out a pneumothorax with a negative predictive value approaching 100% [10, 26].
There are unfortunately limitations to ultrasound in the diagnosis of pneumothorax. Absence of lung sliding can create false-positive results in certain clinical situations. The presence of bullous emphysema, pleura adhesions and even simple apnea has been associated with loss of the sliding lung sign when no pneumothorax is present . Extensive subcutaneous emphysema can be confused, in novice hands, with the absence of lung sliding, but this should be avoided if the ribs and pleural line (bat wing sign) are clearly identified prior to looking for the pleural interface . However, extensive subcutaneous emphysema can make visualization of the underlying pleura impossible, thus making the study non-diagnostic for both thoracic and abdominal pathologies. It is important to recognize that such studies are neither positive nor negative studies but are formally indeterminate .
Once the presence of a pneumothorax is suspected the ultrasound examination should then be extended laterally in an attempt to localize the point where the normal lung pattern (lung sliding and/or the presence of vertical B lines) replaces the pneumothorax pattern (absent lung sliding and absent B lines). This point is called the 'lung point' (Figure 5, Additional File 4) and marks the intersection where the lung is re-approximated back with the pleura at the edge of the pneumothorax. The ability to demonstrate the alternating lung sliding and absence of lung sliding within the same ultrasound field has been touted as being 100% diagnostic of a pneumothorax .
Normal pleura can be seen on the left side of the image (A) and the lung point (arrow) can be seen moving across the screen with respiration (B).
While the ultrasound beam cannot penetrate the normal aerated lung, in the presence of alveolar consolidation the lung becomes filled with purulent, water-rich material that is an excellent transmitter of ultrasound waves .
The presence of consolidation produces a tissue-like pattern reminiscent of the liver that has been referred to as 'hepatization' of the lung (Figure 6, Additional File 5) . In addition, internal hyperechoic punctiform or linear elements are frequently seen . These correspond to air within the more rigid, non-collapsed bronchi and are the ultrasound equivalent of the air bronchogram on a chest radiograph.

Limitations to the ultrasound diagnosis of consolidation include the fact that while most consolidation reaches the pleural surface of the lung, areas confined to the interior of the lung, and not reaching the pleural surface, cannot be visualized through overlying aerated lung.
The alveolar-interstitial syndrome includes a group of heterogeneous conditions that are united in that they cause diffuse involvement of the lung interstitium and present a distinct pattern on lung ultrasound . Included in this syndrome are chronic conditions such as pulmonary fibrosis and acute conditions including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute pulmonary edema, and interstitial pneumonia. This diagnosis is made sonographically by noting the presence of multiple comet tail artifacts (Figure 7, Additional File 6). Thus the comet tail artifact is the sonographic equivalent of Kerley's B lines as is seen in pulmonary edema. In fact, a number of studies demonstrated correlation between wedge pressure and extra vascular lung water and the number of comet-tail artifacts [29–33]. However, just as the chest radiograph cannot distinguish between increased interstitial marking from disorders of hydrostatic pressure or permeability, neither can the ultrasound. Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema (such as high altitude pulmonary edema) appears similar to cardiogenic pulmonary edema even though the pulmonary artery wedge pressure is generally normal or low .
Image of the lung illustrating multiple comet tail artifacts (arrows) consistent with alveolar-interstitial syndrome, in this case caused by a pulmonary contusion.
A small number of B-lines, especially at the bases can be considered normal. One study suggested the presence of more than 3 B-lines per field as criteria for a pathologic number of B-lines  while other authors considered a minimum number of six artifacts. However, these studies were conducted with different probes; the first, a microconvex probe and the latter, a linear probe .
It should also be noted that B-lines can also be seen isolated in areas surrounding alveolar consolidations of any etiology  making it important to differentiate between diffuse B-lines in all lung fields as seen in diffuse alveolar-interstitial syndromes such as pulmonary edema, and the localized B-lines seen in pneumonia or contusion.
Quantifying the size of the effusion is often challenging using physical exam and chest radiography. Lobar collapse or atelectasis can often be difficult to differentiate from effusion on chest radiograph and in this case blind aspiration can result in significant complications including hemorrhage and pneumothorax if the diagnosis is incorrect. The supine chest radiograph was found to have a sensitivity of only 39% and an accuracy of 47% in detecting pleural effusion . In multiple studies ultrasound has been shown to be superior than bedside chest x-ray both in diagnosis of pleural effusion and quantification of fluid volume (Figure 8, Additional File 7) [35, 36]. Studies have shown that measurements of the distance between the parietal and visceral pleura at end expiration in the ventilated patient at the level of the diaphragm correlate with pleural effusion size . Ultrasound can also help rule out other etiologies such as consolidation, mass, or an elevated hemidiaphragm. In addition, bedside ultrasound can simultaneously help aid in safe, image guided drainage of the pleural effusion .

As illustrated by the preceding literature review most studies of lung ultrasound to date use either chest xray or CT scan as a gold standard. In fact to our knowledge only a single study looks at a comparison between lung ultrasound and auscultation . It is our opinion that this is a huge limitation of the current literature. We do not advocate that bedside ultrasound should replace definitive diagnostic testing but rather should be seen as a part of the physical exam. However, in many of the preceding studies referenced ultrasound is shown to be superior to supine chest xray, especially in the diagnosis of occult pneumothoracies [3, 9, 18, 38–40] and pleural effusions [35, 36], and in these instances, in our opinion, one could infer that ultrasound would be superior to auscultation as well.
As a part of the physical exam the sky is the limit in terms of applications of lung ultrasound. We encourage its use wherever a stethoscope is used, making it an essential tool not only in the hospital setting, but also in the office and in the field. In addition, lung ultrasound can be performed with bedside ultrasound units already available in most emergency departments, intensive cares, wards and even in some primary care offices. Further, while auscultation is generally a personal experience, the ultrasound produces a visual image that can be shared simultaneously by many, even remotely , and can preserve images in a digital format allowing for accurate documentation and medical education. While generally better supported, this is not entirely unique to ultrasound as some newer stethoscopes do include the possibilities of recording and storage.
The main limitation we foresee with bedside ultrasound comes not from its use, but its misuse. We stress that bedside ultrasound should serve to guide clinical decision making, ideally confirming pre-examination clinical suspicions, but not be performed in lieu of further confirmatory diagnostic testing.
Excessive sensitivity also presents a challenge. In the setting of trauma, the literature reveals that bedside ultrasound has sensitivity for pneumothorax that far exceeds the sensitivity of a chest xray [3, 9, 18, 38–40]. As a result, small, formerly "occult" pneumothoracies are now being discovered which previously may have gone untreated, with no detriment to the patient . Using ultrasound to quantify the size of the pneumothorax may help avoid unnecessary interventions .
The major diagnostic limitation of ultrasound compared to auscultation is in the diagnosis of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These obstructive diagnoses reveal only a normal ultrasound pattern with normal lung sliding . However, in the patient with acute respiratory distress, ultrasound has been used with high sensitivity and specificity to rule out other diagnoses, especially pulmonary edema [44, 45].
Cost is also currently a relative limitation to its use. While the cost of even handheld units far exceeds of the cost of a stethoscope, as technology continues to evolve portable units will become cheaper and more robust.
A final criticism of bedside ultrasound is the over-reliance on imaging to the detriment of physical exam skills. Again, we would argue that bedside ultrasound not be seen as an alternative to physical exam but instead as a part of the physical exam and hopefully will eventually be taught in medical schools alongside physical exam skills.
As newer generations of clinicians incorporate it as a part of their basic bedside examination and as technological advances make ultrasound less and less prohibitive in terms of cost and size, we argue its time to augment the archaic tools of past centuries and embrace ultrasound as the visual stethoscope of the 21st century.

"Oftentimes when a reissue has bonus tracks their provenance can be tangential or suspicious; in this case, they're more like a homecoming. When Bryn Jones turned into the master for what would become 1994's Drugsherpa mini CD to once and future label Staalplaat, the label selected the twenty-minute title track, truly one of Muslimgauze's most distinct and awe-inspiring tracks, to fill the release.
The sinuous, doom-haunted "Drugsherpa" still sounds fresh today but in 1994 it was so far ahead of its time that the rest of us didn't catch up until a decade or more later; only now does it really sound like it has contemporaries. It deserved its own space. But it wasn't alone on that tape; and with the mini CD long since sold out, this reissue releases its siblings into the world for the first time. Unlike "Drugsherpa" itself, now restored to its original place as track three of the reissued Drugsherpa, the other six tracks on this now 56-minute album are all remixes of other Muslimgauze material. As usual for Jones those remixes take the songs in all sorts of directions, subtly or not; shorter, longer, backwards, dubbed out, less dubbed out, and so on. The result, as well as functioning as a kind of ad hoc compilation of material from several recent-at-the-time Muslimgauze releases (plus a remounting of "Gulfwar" from 1987's Abu Nidal), shows anew the infinite variety, multiplicity, and complexity of Jones' work. But the darkly brooding "Drugsherpa" itself remains, justly, the center of attention here.
Less directly political than much of Jones' work, it builds up to an immense, slow groove until finally shaking itself to pieces in your ears by the end. Muslimgauze is always evocative, but with "Drugsherpa" Jones practically gives the listeners visions. He always intended these tracks to go together (as shown by the seamless segue into "Jerusalem Knife (Wail Mix)"), but in a way "Drugsherpa" is sui generis, even for Muslimgauze."

Well it happened, the dreaded fall germs have entered our home. Merle woke up this morning with a throat so sore that she was in tears. thankfully with a warm drink and some time it became much less sore after being up for a bit, but I can hear it moving in to her sinuses so I am not going to hold my breath that it passes. What this means is that within 48 hours it will spread to Roo, and then to me where it will stick around for weeks. It always manages to bypass Tom for some reason, but hang on to me. I usually get it long enough for both of us I guess. I'm upping the vitamin C and keeping my fingers crossed. I will say that it has put her in a foul mood today. That right there shows me that she is getting sick.
Today I have another autumn packing list. This one is for Rome and Spain in November for around 2 weeks. November tends to be a rainier month so remember that when making your wardrobe selections. Does that mean it's going to rain the whole time? No, but it could. Cool, crisp, and sunny is probably most likely if it is not raining though. Remember that while the day may seem nice, it will get a lot cooler at night so bring an appropriate jacket.
In Rome around mid November tourism drops and you will find cheaper lodgings as well as fewer crowds, less waiting and line-ups at restaurants, museums, and tourist sites. If the forecast calls for rain it may be a good idea to pack a portable umbrella, but if not no worries because umbrella vendors come out in droves when it rains. If you are going to be doing a lot of walking, and the weather station predicts a lot of rain then it would probably be a good idea to pack a waterproof jacket like this.
Apparently artichoke season begins in November too so if you love them take note 🙂 Also take note that on the first Sunday of every month, it is free admission to state museums and archeological sites. November 4, 2018, you can visit the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Galleria Borghese, Ostia Antica and many more sites for free, but you made need to reserve your spot in advance.
Love this list & almost exactly what I need for a trip in December! Your packing lists are amazing & that velvet dress 😍, it's in my shopping cart already. Thank you!
I love that dress to! It would make a great dress for the holidays too. Have a great trip!
So I just found your blog and I have to say you have THE best capsule wardrobes I've found anywhere! I love how they are full of color and texture and interesting details. So many, many bloggers in the capsule wardrobe/minimalist wardrobe genre are telling us to get everything black/white/gray and while that's fine and a great basic wardrobe to start with, it gets boring very quickly. I'm studying the best way to have a minimalist capsule for each season, but trying to make minimalism mean "fewer-but-great pieces" rather than "simple black and white". Your blog and pinterest feeds are a great resource for me – I love the pieces you select and the interesting combos you come up with. I've even printed a few of them out so I can really hone in on what makes each piece so versatile. (My fave so far was one from March 7 – Barcelona packing list). Thanks and glad I've found you!
Thank you so much! When I first purged my closet about 7 years ago it was built of the minimalist colours because that's what I thought I needed to do to have a capsule wardrobe that worked well. Then I realized I was bored with my monochromatic wardrobe which didn't help me want to stop shopping, so I decided that I needed to get things that were more "me" and visually pleasing. I love colour and pattern and think that you can build fabulous wardrobes with them as long as make sure everything is (mostly) cohesive. I say mostly because I don't believe that every single wardrobe piece has to go with everything else to make it capsule worthy. Sometimes you need to include a few pieces that you are including for no other reason than because you absolutely love them.

2021 Toyota Venza Best Buy Review
The stylish Venza boasts an upscale feel inside and out, pleasant road manners, and a smooth hybrid powertrain that delivers outstanding fuel economy—all at highly competitive prices.
Its cargo volume comes up a bit short against class rivals'.
The top-line Limited model can be equipped with an optional "Star Gaze" panoramic fixed sunroof, which uses electrochromic technology to switch from transparent to a frosted, translucent surface at the press of a button.
The Venza is Toyota's new-for-2021 2-row, 5-passenger midsize crossover SUV; it's positioned as a stylish urban-commuter vehicle that competes primarily with rivals such as the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Edge, and Nissan Murano. Toyota previously used the Venza badge on a 2-row midsize crossover it sold from 2009-2015, but the 2021 model shares nothing but its name with its predecessor. It comes standard with a hybrid powertrain and all-wheel drive—a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and three electric motors for a total output of 219 horsepower. One of the motors is mounted in the rear to drive the rear wheels when needed to reduce front wheel slip or improve cornering. The model lineup ascends through LE, XLE, and Limited models. LEs are well equipped with standard features such as keyless entry and starting, wireless smartphone charger, a hands-free power liftgate, and the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 suite of active safety features. XLE models add features such as front and rear park sensors, heated front seats, auto-dimming mirror, and a larger driver-info display. The top-line Limited gets features such as full simulated-leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera system, and a premium JBL audio system with a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen (that last item is optional on the XLE).
The Venza is a new vehicle for 2021. It's built on the Toyota New Global Architecture-K platform, which is currently in use by other Toyota vehicle lines.
The Venza's EPA-estimated fuel economy is 40 mpg city/37 mpg highway. In Consumer Guide® testing, an XLE model averaged 41.5 mpg in 60-percent city driving.
The revived-for-2021 Venza is one of only five hybrid vehicles available in the mainstream midsize SUV class—the others are the Ford Explorer, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, and Toyota's own Highlander. The Venza's excellent fuel economy is a key selling point, but the generous list of standard and available features, comfortable ride, and classy cabin also make the Venza a clear Best Buy pick.

Jailed: Hoaxer whose fake 'noxious' package to PM is intercepted in east London
Published: 4:00 PM September 4, 2020

A man who mailed white powder and violent images to Theresa May when she was Prime Minister has been jailed for committing a hoax and for making indecent images of children following a police hunt launched in east London.

Christopher Doyle got just under three years after he was tracked down after trying to send a fake 'noxious' package to Downing Street in 2018 which was intercepted by sharp-eyed staff at the Royal Mail's east London sorting office.
Explosives experts from Scotland Yard who arrived at the sorting office to analyse the powder identified it as harmless citric acid.
Detectives from the Met's Counter Terrorism Command searched 54-year-old Doyle's home at Widnes in Cheshire where they discovered the indecent images on his computer.
Doyle denied the hoax, but admitted in court to making the indecent images.
He received 34 months yesterday, September 3, when he was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court after being convicted for the hoax on August 14.
The hoax got him 30 months under the 2001 Anti-Terrorism and Security Act and four months for making and possessing the indecent images under the 1978 Protection of Children and the 1988 Criminal Justice acts. He has also been put on the Sex Offenders register and been given a Sexual Harm Prevention order for seven years.
"We deal robustly with such incidents," Alexis Boon from the Met's Counter Terrorism Command said after Doyle's sentencing. "The Met treats extremely seriously hoaxes and any attempts to make MPs and elected officials fear for their safety."
Scotland Yard set up a team dealing with threatening or intimidating MPs after the murder in 2016 of MP Jo Cox, who lived with her young family on a houseboat at Hermitage Pier in Wapping, when she was stabbed in her Yorkshire constituency during the Brexit referendum campaign.


The murine winged helix transcription factors, Foxc1 and Foxc2, are both required for cardiovascular development and somitogenesis.
The murine Foxc1/Mf1 and Foxc2/Mfh1 genes encode closely related forkhead/winged helix transcription factors with overlapping expression in the forming somites and head mesoderm and endothelial and mesenchymal cells of the developing heart and blood vessels. Embryos lacking either Foxc1 or Foxc2, and most compound heterozygotes, die pre- or perinatally with similar abnormal phenotypes, including defects in the axial skeleton and cardiovascular system. However, somites and major blood vessels do form. This suggested that the genes have similar, dose-dependent functions, and compensate for each other in the early development of the heart, blood vessels, and somites. In support of this hypothesis, we show here that compound Foxc1; Foxc2 homozygotes die earlier and with much more severe defects than single homozygotes alone. Significantly, they have profound abnormalities in the first and second branchial arches, and the early remodeling of blood vessels. Moreover, they show a complete absence of segmented paraxial mesoderm, including anterior somites. Analysis of compound homozygotes shows that Foxc1 and Foxc2 are both required for transcription in the anterior presomitic mesoderm of paraxis, Mesp1, Mesp2, Hes5, and Notch1, and for the formation of sharp boundaries of Dll1, Lfng, and ephrinB2 expression. We propose that the two genes interact with the Notch signaling pathway and are required for the prepatterning of anterior and posterior domains in the presumptive somites through a putative Notch/Delta/Mesp regulatory loop.


Each human being has an internal desire to obtain wellness. This is particularly true for children, who are developing a self-concept and communicating their state of well-being through their behaviors every day. When children "act out" behaviorally, their actions are often the catalyst that brings children and parents into my therapy office. It is important for me to help parents understand all behavior is purposeful. Therefore, even the behaviors we deem as inappropriate are an attempt by a child to fulfill an emotional or developmental need.
Parents sometimes wonder why children do not ask for what they need directly. Like some adults, children frequently are not aware of what they need nor do they have the linguistic skills to articulate their thoughts, emotions, and desires. This is why play is so very useful with children. Play is the language of children. Children play out their own experiences in the same way adults talk about experiences. Play is a child's natural way of communicating. In play therapy children are provided with selected toys to enable them to say with toys what they are unable to say with words. Some of the items utilized in play therapy include: puppets, music, art, storytelling, sand tray activities, games, dolls, and projective tests.
The play therapist allows the child to direct her or his own process by allowing the child to lead content, pace, and outcome of play within reasonable parameters. The child gains a sense of positive self-control over the play-world and the real-world. What is abstract in play becomes concrete in life. Play therapy is the agent for merging right-brain feelings, pictures, and metaphors with left-brain thinking and language skills.
During the therapeutic process, the play therapist utilizes techniques to enable the child to become aware of the self. Reflection of feeling gives the child words for what she or he experiences, and the child feels understood and validated. While interacting with the therapist, the child begins to understand his or her feelings and behaviors and how he or she can change. When children become aware of their processes, they begin to modify behaviors naturally. There is no longer a reason for children to "act out" because they have a stronger sense of self-worth and are able to identify and express emotions appropriately.

La saison 2019 de l'équipe féminine Virtu est la sixième de la formation. L'équipe a un recrutement ambitieux avec l'arrivée de la sprinteuse et championne d'Europe en titre Marta Bastianelli. La jeune Italienne Sofia Bertizzolo rejoint également l'équipe. L'expérimentée et polyvalente Australienne Rachel Neylan est aussi recrutée, tout comme la spécialiste des classiques du Nord Anouska Koster. Enfin, Birgitte Krogsgaard fait ses débuts professionnels dans la formation. Au niveau des départs, Linda Villumsen quitte l'équipe. C'est aussi le cas de la spécialiste du contre-la-montre Doris Schweizer et de Claudia Koster.

Marta Bastianelli connait une saison particulièrement faste. Elle est placée sur toutes les classiques du printemps : quatrième des Strade Bianche, elle remporte l'Omloop van het Hageland, le Tour de Drenthe et surtout le Tour des Flandres en plaçant l'attaque décisive dans le vieux Quaremont. Elle s'impose aussi sur le Gracia Orlová. En juin, elle se blesse mais revient pour la fin de la saison. Elle devient championne d'Italie, puis gagne l'Open de Suède Vårgårda. Elle semble en parfaite forme pour les championnats du monde, mais le déroulement de la course ne lui est pas favorable. Sofia Bertizzolo réalise également une belle saison, avec une quatrième place au Tour des Flandres. Mieke Kröger remporte une étape de l'Healthy Ageing Tour, une du Gracia Orlová et une du Tour de Belgique. Sur cette dernière épreuve, elle gagne aussi le classement général. Emilie Møberg gagne à domicile une étape du Tour d'Uppsala.  Louise Norman Hansen devient championne du Danemark du contre-la-montre. Anouska Koster s'impose sur une étape du  Tour de l'Ardèche. Marta Bastianelli est quatrième du classement UCI et sixième du classement World Tour. Virtu est huitième des deux classements.

Fed Nominee Moore: Unemployment Insurance Is 'Paid Vacation' - The National Memo - Smart. Sharp. Funny. Fearless.
The nominee, Stephen Moore, is a regular on Fox News, where he spouts crazy economic theories including that unemployment insurance amounts to "paid vacation" for job seekers.
Anyone who's been unemployed knows that unemployment insurance is anything but "paid vacation." Benefits are never as much as the salary a laid off worker was making before their job was terminated. And that insurance allows laid off workers to afford basic necessities of living while they search for a new job — which is a full-time job in and of itself.
But that's not the only wild comment on economic policy Moore has made.
"Somebody gets sick we feel bad about it, or if they get injured we feel bad about it. But the question is, should the burden of paying for that be on the backs of small businesses?" Moore said on a Fox News appearance.
Trump nominated Moore — a Trump supporter who worked on Trump's 2016 presidential campaign — to the position after seeing one of Moore's columns in the Wall Street Journal, according to Bloomberg News. Moore, like Trump, blamed the Federal Reserve for a slower economic growth rate than Trump predicted — a claim respected economists say is complete bunk.
He's just another Fox News talking head who Trump decided to give a powerful position in government.

Experts in Entrepreneur and Investor Immigration to Canada.
Start-Up Visa is the Real Deal
January 04, 2015 / Angela Scarlett / Source
If you happen to be a multi-millionaire investor looking to emigrate, there are many countries in which you can, in effect, purchase your permanent residency for a "king's ransom".
However, if you are an Entrepreneur who is aiming to start/move and grow your enterprise in a new and extremely business-friendly land, then Canada ought to be your number one choice; especially now that we have the Start-Up Visa.
Former Minister of Citizenship & Immigration Canada, Jason Kenney
Why Canada?
Canada has become the land of opportunity for people with big ideas and new inventions, seeking a high standard of living with relative freedom and prosperity. We have even taken the bold step of putting billboards in Silicon Valley to announce to the world this striking place we have taken in it.
These are not only our opinions, either. According to the evaluations of international think tanks and observers, Canada is:
The most tax-friendly country for business
Home of the world's most stable banking system
Ranked the #1 Country in which to do business
(Even Vogue Magazine has rated Toronto, Canada #2 in the top 15 coolest neighbourhoods in the world.)
So, if you have a successful business or a viable business idea, the Start-Up Visa could be your avenue to prosperity for your venture, you and your family.
Start-Up Visa is About Entrepreneur Success
The government of Canada is invested in your success as well. The Start-up Visa was invented to be the antidote to immigrant investor programs that unabashedly swallow foreign money and give permanent resident status in exchange ... eventually.
Our Start-up Visa requires that a third-party expert deem your business a good investment with a strong chance of producing jobs for Canadians. This is no cash grab, but a legitimate means to build up Canada's economy in the long term.
There are three streams:
Venture Capitalist Stream: You must attract 200 000 dollars from one or more of the designated venture capitalist funds
Angel Investor Stream: Your enterprise must obtain 75 000 dollars from a member of an affiliated Angel Investor Group
Incubator Stream: Your business must be Approved by a participating Business Incubator
Upon receipt of a Letter of Support from one of the above-mentioned evaluators, you and four other members of your business team are eligible to apply for a Start-Up Visa.
Pre-Application Process Is Key
Therefore, it is crucial that your business proposal, plan and related documents are superior. Thus, your choice of financial and legal advisers is highly important. This is why our firm specializes in start-up, entrepreneur and investor immigration exclusively. We have mastered the Canadian business and legal systems. Our group of financial and business development experts will help you construct a tailor-made proposal that will attract the Investment support you need to gain a Start-Up Visa. Our top-tier legal professionals will put together an outstanding Immigration Application on your behalf as well.
That is why at BUSINESS VISA CANADA, we are more than a law firm; we are an Immigration "Accelerator" for your enterprise.

While simple-looking from afar, the Taikan Tomcat Backpack is far from simple up close. Made from bomber ballistic nylon, this low profile bag has a streamlined silhouette that's ideal for daily commutes. Features like an internal neoprene laptop sleeve and external front zip make it practical for real life, while nickel finish hardware and Italian leather tassels add some subtle flair.


Greece is in the throes of a revolution as their people mount a massive protest against the country's history of corruption and economic mismanagement. Originally born of the alledged murder of a 15 year old boy by Greek police, the momentum was maintained by deeply rooted history. Is this a sign of things to come ? As economic conditions deteriorate across every continent, blame will be apportioned and it won't be hard to find easy targets. Shortage of food, homelessness, unemployment are now realities for an ever increasing number of people who have never known a life like this before. We are watching our own Governments waste the money we could be using constructively to prepare and mitigate for harder times. Attempts to restore the economic activity of nations through liquidity injections in to failing banks will achieve nothing when the basics of this same economy rely on a volume of activity that was sustained by inflated wealth through credit. The only reason we bought so much stuff was because we could always pay the bill off later.
So it's no big surprise that "We're almost in an air pocket, where we don't have a new global driver of growth." as said by Thomas Mayer, the chief European economist for Deutsche Bank. Sorry Thomas, we're all tapped out. Unrealistic growth was the problem in the first place. Growth of an economy through a regulated monetary system, consumer saving, profits ploughed back in to production, balanced budgets is one thing, but unhinged consumption and imaginary accounting by the Financial "Industry" to inflate wealth was always destined to arrive at cardiac arrest. Financial companies are supposed to provide credit to individuals and real industries to grow the economy. When they discovered that there was money to be made giving loans to anyone who could hold a pen, they officially became usurers. When they opened the casino and took bets on anything that could go one way or another, from the economic health of a country to whether interest rates would go up or down, they opened the gates to their own destruction and consequently that of their victims. Even ordinary citizens got caught up in the act as stocks were bought and sold like candy. We have a Stock market that may as well take it's cue from the atmospheric conditions on Pluto. It certainly has nothing to do with economic realities on the ground.
Lack of regulation and the quest for short term profit at the expense of long term sustainabilty has brought the World to it's knees. A new paradigm is desperately needed to restore sanity to a world gone mad. As we travel the downside we cannot expect the same failed mechanisms to save us. The actions of Governments the world over so far is to try and blow air in to a burst balloon; no matter how hard they blow it will never be able hold it's form. It's time to admit that we have overextended the system to the inevitable breaking point and now the remaining pieces must be reassembled in to something that does not need wizardry to keep it upright.


ALERT: While the City of Beaverton works to connect waterlines underneath the Westside Trail, the trail access from the west at SW Scholls Ferry Rd will be closed from January 31 to February 8, 2019.
A recently developed Westside Trail segment on Mt. Williams has yielded a six-mile segment of mostly continuous trail from Tigard city limits to the Tualatin Hills Nature Park.
ALERT: While the City of Beaverton works to connect waterlines underneath the Westside Trail, the trail access from the west at SW Scholls Ferry Rd will be closed from January 31 to February 8, 2019. During this closure, trail users will be rerouted to the stoplight crossing at the corner of SW Scholls Ferry Rd and SW 147th Place by way of a temporary gravel path. Trail detour signs will be posted in the area to help direct trail users.
The 1992 Metropolitan Greenspaces Master Plan identified an opportunity to create a regional trail on Portland's west side -- initially called the Beaverton Powerline Trail -- along Washington County's electrical power utility corridors. Today, this route is the Westside Trail.
Extending north to south through Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District, the Westside Trail is one of the region's most important corridors. It connects west side neighborhoods and communities while providing access to the region's distinctive rivers, forests and prairies.
Metro has developed a master plan to expand the Westside Trail, eventually rendering a 25-mile-long trail extending from the Tualatin River (near King City) to the Willamette River (in Portland's Northwest Industrial neighborhood).
Within THPRD boundaries, Westside Trail expansion has been a priority for planners. A bond measure approved by voters in 2008 earmarked more than $4 million for the completion of three new trail segments, including a paved 1.5-mile expansion over Beaverton's Mt. Williams that provides picturesque views of the city below.
The completion of that project in November 2013 has rendered a six-mile segment of mostly continuous trail extending from Tigard city limits at Barrows Rd. all the way to the Tualatin Hills Nature Park and the Merlo Road MAX station in Beaverton. The trail intersects or provides nearby access to several THPRD parks, including Progress Lake, Barrows Park, Murrayhill Park, Westside Linear Park, Hart Meadows Park, Summercrest Park and Burntwood Park.
THPRD completed construction of the Westside to Waterhouse Trail Connection in the fall of 2016, which connects the Westside Trail to the nearby Waterhouse Trail along the north edge of the Tualatin Hills Nature Park. This short but vital section of the Westside Trail follows an abandoned rail bed to avoid impacts to the Nature Park and its sensitive natural areas and to provide a direct off-street commuter route to the Merlo Light Rail Station.
THPRD began construction of a new segment of the Westside Trail north of US Highway 26 in the summer of 2016 – the Westside Trail segment 18 project. A portion of this trail segment was completed in March 2018 and is open to the public. Construction of the remaining portion of this segment is currently under way and is expected to be completed in the winter of 2018/19.
When completed the trail segment will connect the Rock Creek Regional Trail at its north end to Kaiser Road at its south end, and will include a connection to Hansen Ridge Park as well as connections to adjacent neighborhoods and improved access to Kaiser Woods Natural Area.
As funds become available, THPRD will continue to build new trail segments of the Westside Trail, ultimately yielding a 10-mile backbone that will extend north/south through THPRD's service area and over US Highway 26.

Western State Hospital, Virginia
The Western State Lunatic Asylum, renamed the Western State Hospital in 1894, began operation as the second mental health hospital in the Commonwealth or Virginia. The original buildings were designed by William Small, and later altered by Thomas Blackburn, a Thomas Jefferson protégé. The Administration Building was constructed in the colonial style in 1828 and boats a beautiful circular wooden staircase spanning from the second floor to the third floor cupola roof patio, added in 1840.
Dr. Francis T Stribling was the first director of the hospital in 1828 and only twenty-six years old at the time. While he was in charge, the hospital was considered a resort-style asylum, which gave its patients the ability to wander the beautiful gardens or go for roof walks. Unfortunately, in the early 1900's this model had morphed into a belief that ankle and wrist restraints were a necessary method for keeping patients contained.
Joseph DeJarnette was appointed medical director of the facility in 1905, but his theories didn't match Stribling's. The theories expressed by DeJarnette were anything but humane. He believed the "defective" would breed more "defectives," which led him to practice eugenics, causing hundreds of patients to be sterilized during DeJarnette's thirty-eight year term.
In the 1960's, the campus began a slow move to a new facility down the road a few miles. This took nearly ten years, but once the site was closed, the current buildings were repurposed as the Staunton Correctional Facility, a medium-security state prison, until 2002.
In 1969, five of the original campus buildings were placed on the National Register of Historic Places and are currently undergoing a transformation into new condominiums called The Village at Staunton.


The automation sector is immersed in a profound digital transformation. Clients are increasingly well informed and have changed the purchasing process; until recently the purchasing cycle was much longer, now it has shrunk, leading to shorter, more personalised production. The dealership is no longer the focal point: users visit them to get to know the car, but the final decision may be made online. The new generations respond much more to digital environments and QUADIS, working with Smartbrand, continues advancing its transformation in this direction.

Gli inizi
Thomas Degasperi nasce a Trento il 18 gennaio 1981.
All'età di cinque anni Thomas viene a contatto per la prima volta con lo Sci nautico, incoraggiato dal padre, Marco Degasperi, già a quel tempo un grande e conosciuto allenatore di sci nautico.
Fin dal primo istante Thomas rimane entusiasta di questo sport, e continua a praticarlo iniziando anche a partecipare alle prime competizioni tra le quali "Il Trofeo Topolino". All'età di 12 anni cambia il suo modo di porsi allo sci nautico, evento dovuto al fatto dell'ottenimento di alcuni buoni risultati. A 15 anni vince la sua prima medaglia ai Campionati Europei: oro in slalom.

Segue un periodo in cui Thomas rimane un po' in ombra, ma durante il quale svolge un intensivo programma di allenamento, e finalmente nel 2001 e 2002 si iniziano a vedere i profitti. Thomas si classifica al quarto posto ai Campionati mondiali Under 21 svoltisi in Italia e nello stesso anno vince i Campionati europei Under 21. L'anno successivo si ripete vincendo ancora i Campionati europei Under 21; il seguente fine settimana, Thomas viene convocato come riserva ai Campionati europei assoluti in Francia, e con grande sorpresa per tutti, riesce a portarsi a casa anche quel titolo. Nel 2003 si infortuna al ginocchio, compromettendosi quindi l'intera stagione. Nel 2005 scala la ranking list mondiale dalla 47ª posizione fino alla 9ª, per aver raggiunto il 2º posto nella Coppa del Mondo in Russia.

La stagione 2006
Il 2006 è stato l'anno più proficuo per Thomas: vinti i Malibu Open e lo Ski west Pro, realizza la miglior performance di tutta la stagione, tra tutti i migliori sciatori al mondo, evento che lo porta in vetta alla ranking list mondiale, inoltre arriva 6º agli US Master, 6° alla Coppa del Mondo in Irlanda, nonostante le cattive condizioni del tempo, e infine ottiene il 4º posto al Boardstock Pro Slalom event.
Si riplocama campione Europeo Assoluto in slalom per la terza volta dimostrando il suo valore ancora una volta.

Il titolo mondiale e il quarto titolo europeo
Il 2007 è l'anno in cui Thomas deve confermare la sua inarrestabile ascesa conquistando qualcosa nella gara più importante di tutte: il Campionato del Mondo.
Infatti, tralasciando un ottimo quarto posto ottenuto nell'edizione del 2001 di Recetto, l'atleta trentino non è mai riuscito ad esprimersi al meglio in questa gara.
La forma sciistica, programmata in funzione della gara, si rivela con tutto il suo potenziale. Thomas infatti si ritrova al primo posto già nelle fasi eliminatorie della gara, in pari merito con altri 5 sciatori: Jeff Rodgers, Christopher Rossi, Jason Paredes, Marcus Brown e Drew Ross con 2 Boe a 10,25 m.
Thomas però in finale ne aggira ben 3 alla stessa lunghezza di corda, togliendo ogni speranza agli avversari di raggiungere il gradino più alto del podio.

La forma di Thomas continua a rimanere strepitosa, tanto che tre settimane più tardi riesce a conquistare anche il suo quarto titolo europeo, terzo consecutivo.
Nella finale di Slalom ai Campionati Europei di Recetto, dopo un decimo posto nelle qualificazioni, nella finale scala posizioni su posizioni con la prestazione di 2 boe a 10,25 m.
Alla fine si mette alle spalle anche il compagno di squadra Fabio Ianni e lo spagnolo Iván Morros.

Thomas vince il 5 Titolo Europeo nel 2009 a Vallesbek in Danimarca e l'argento mondialie a Calgary in Canada

Nel 2011 riporta in Italia un oro mondiale entrando così nella storia mondiale dello sci nautico.

Nel 2013 vince i World Games.

Nel 2014 vince i Masters e il Moomba Master australiano.

Nel 2015 ottiene l'argento ai Campionati Mondiali.

Nel 2016 conquista l'oro europeo nello slalom e nei Canada Open e Malibu Open.

Nel 2017 rivince l'oro ai Moomba master australiani.

Nel 2019 vince l'oro europeo nello slalom e per la terza volta nei Moomba master australiani.

Ballando con le stelle
Ha partecipato all'ottava edizione di Ballando con le stelle, talent show di Rai 1, come sostituto di Stefano Campagna che si era ritirato, vincendo il Premio a Paolo Rossi per l'esibizione più emozionante.

Marcy Joseph Ramos, 71, passed away on April 1, 2019, at home.
Marcy graduated from Monsignor Farrell High School. He threw the first touchdown pass at Farrell. He then graduated from Manhattan College. He worked as a self-employed mechanical engineer. Marcy loved playing all sports, and most recently became an avid golfer. He was a voracious reader, especially science fiction. He also loved vacationing at Long Beach Island, and traveling extensively all over the globe. He was a warm, loving and gentle man and a "do-it-yourselfer." Marcy was a very special person and beloved by everyone.
Marcy is survived by his wife, Nancy; his children, Taryn Ramos and Jessamyn DePaola (Vincent); his stepsons, Adam, Alex and Joseph Lisiewski; a brother, Joseph Ramos (Veronica); a sister, Joan Macaluso (Jack); eight grandchildren, several nieces and nephews, and great nieces and great nephews.
A funeral service will be held at Bedell-Pizzo Funeral Home on Friday at 11 a.m. Cremation will be private. Friends may visit on Thursday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. at the funeral home.
I believe that Marcy is a member of the Class of 1969.

PODCAST: Once Upon A Time In… Hollywood (SPOILERS)!
Published on August 7, 2019 December 1, 2020 by theworldsbestblogwithpaulwright
Get excited, folks! Because this week will feature not one, but TWO episodes of "The World's Best Podcast"! In the first of the two AWESOME podcasts to come out this week, I review the latest film by iconic filmmaker, Quentin Tarantino: Once Upon A Time In… Hollywood! Tarantino is without question on of the greatest living directors. But for me, personally, he is part of a very small group of directors that, in my eyes, can do no know wrong. When Quentin Tarantino has a new movie coming out, I don't need to know the plot, who's in it, or even the goddamn title. There's a new Tarantino out? I'm there!
This just one man's opinion, because I know he has his critics, but I fucking adore his movies! What can I say?
Having said that, as you'll hear in the podcast, this by far Tarantino's weakest film. That's not to say the movie's bad. It isn't. I enjoyed the hell of of it. Tarantino's worst movie is still better than 99 out of 100 other films. The look of the film is wonderful. The movie manages to capture that "old Hollywood" look in spectacular fashion.
Let's not forget, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt are two of the most watchable leading men on the big screen. A lot of the film's fun comes from their relationship and DiCaprio and Pitt's talent carry the film. Anyway, I've rambled on long enough, you can listen to my full review posted below. I try to keep things somewhat vague at the beginning of the episode, in case you haven't seen the movie yet, but I give you fair warning before we go into FULL SPOILERS.
This is the first of TWO podcast I'll be posting this week. The next episode is going to focus on some very cool, returning and new, superhero TV and film projects. We're going to give you the scoop on this year's Arrowverse MEGA Crossover, which is by far their most ambitious to date: an adaptation or arguably the biggest superhero crossover of all time, Crisis On Infinite Earths! We'll also be discussing the trailer for Titans Season 2, and much more.

MOTU Releases The Bob Moog Foundation Encore Soundbank
To commemorate Bob Moog's 81st birthday MOTU have released the Bob Moog Foundation Encore Soundbank as a UVI sound bank and created with Moog Modulars, Minimoogs, Buchlas and many more synths.
Cambridge, MA - May 19, 2015...
MOTU and the Bob Moog Foundation announce the release of the Bob Moog Foundation Encore Soundbank, a new and exciting collection of instrument and percussion sounds produced in commemoration of Bob Moog's 81st Birthday, coming up on May 23rd. In a charitable effort to raise funds for the foundation, over twenty legendary synthesists and renowned sound designers donated original samples to assist with the creation of the sound library, which offers over 2 GB of material. Now available for purchase from the MOTU website (www.motu.com/moog-encore), the library is fully compatible with any host software on Mac or Windows that supports virtual instruments, including popular DAW software such as Ableton Live, Avid Pro Tools, Cockos Reaper, and MOTU Digital Performer. All proceeds from the sale of the Encore Soundbank will benefit the Bob Moog Foundation.
The library ships in the form of a UVI soundbank that can be loaded into the cross-platform, universally compatible UVI Workstation virtual instrument player, available for free download from uvi.net. The library can also be loaded into MOTU's MachFive 3 sampler for side-by-side integration with other MachFive-compatible soundbanks. Most of the 200+ Encore Soundbank presets are scripted to include vintage Moog-style filter and envelope controls.
MOTU is proud to support the legacy of synthesizer pioneer Bob Moog and the Bob Moog Foundation's educational and historic preservation work through the funding generated by the sales of the Encore Soundbank. The following artists generously contributed to this project: Vince Clark, Al Kooper, Jordan Rudess, Suzanne Ciani, Larry Fast, Tangerine Dream (Edgar Froese / Thorsten Quaeschning), Goldfrapp (Will Gregory), Kevin Antunes, Adam Holzman, Erik Norlander, Peter Gorges, Amin Bhatia, CJ Vanston, Drew Neumann, Kevin Lamb, Dave Spiers, Jack Hotop, Jerry Kovarsky, Kent Spong, Klaus Peter Rausch, Taiho Yamada, Michael Koehler, Chris Cox, "Magic" Dave Roberts, Marty Cutler, Marc Doty and I Monster (Dean Honer / Jerrod Gosling).
MOTU Bob Moog Foundation Encore Soundbank GUI.
The soundbank is released in special remembrance of Edgar Froese, who enthusiastically donated sounds for the project, but passed away suddenly on January 20, 2015. His contribution to the Encore Soundbank was one of his last musical endeavors. We are deeply grateful for his generous contribution to this project. He is greatly missed.
Sounds included in the library were created using classic instruments including various Moog modulars and Minimoogs, Buchla modular, EMS Synthi A and VCS3, Yamaha CS-80, Alesis Andromeda, Sequential Circuits Prophets, Hammond B3 organ, classic Korg synths, rare Russian Polivoks, multiple theremins and effects pedals, a rare and exotic Ondioline, and an extremely rare Moog Apollo, plus much more.*
"Bob Moog's legacy touches each and every one of us every day," said Jim Cooper, Director of Marketing at MOTU. "Here at MOTU, we were inspired by the milestone of his 81st birthday, to pay tribute to his lasting effect on music. What better way than with kids, and supporting the work of the Bob Moog Foundation to educate and inspire them through his life's work."
Michelle Moog-Koussa, Executive Director of the Bob Moog Foundation, notes, "The Foundation is tremendously grateful to MOTU and the contributing artists who have made the Encore Soundbank an extraordinary resource for musicians across genres. The funding generated from this product will allow us to expand our educational project, Dr. Bob's SoundSchool, and to inspire even more children through the intersection of science, music, and technology."
The Bob Moog Foundation Encore Soundbank is now available for purchase from the MOTU web site for $99 (www.motu.com/moog-encore). All proceeds will be donated to the Bob Moog Foundation.
MOTU and the Bob Moog Foundation would like to extend special thanks and recognition to Erik Norlander, Arnaud Sicard, and the team at uvi.net for their invaluable assistance in producing this project, as well as to producer Nate Donmoyer who created the audio samples for the product.

Additional federal forces arrive in Cancun to combat insecurity
Cancun, Q.R. — Additional security is added to the city of Cancun admit insecurity concerns.
Approximately 300 elements of the Federal Forces arrived in Cancun Friday to carry out surveillance work in the Cancun Hotel Zone along with other areas considered high risk.
Elements of the Federal Police explained that they have already carried out a deterrent route to locate the most conflicting areas in the city. They say they have arrived to add additional surveillance patrols throughout the entire city, however, they will focus mainly on the north zone regions.
The additional federal forces will also make their presence known in Playa del Carmen, extending patrols and surveillance south of Cancun.
The additional police have arrived after continued insecurity issues are expressed by local businesses.
Eduardo Galaviz Ibarra, president of the Association of Commercial Squares of Cancun, says he is concerned about the frequency of robberies in the city. Small businesses such as supermarkets and restaurants are continually being targeted adding that these small robberies seize only small amounts of money but generates large amounts of concern.
He adds that this new type of criminal targets the city's most vulnerable trade sectors, who are often without proper security or trained personnel. Galaviz Ibarra says he is going to propose a strategy that will start a common front to fight these types of crimes in the commercial sector.

HIGH-GRADE STAIR RAILING FOR STUNNING SEASIDE APARTMENTS
City Woolacombe
Architect Woodward Hambly Webb
Line/Series Easy Glass Pro
Application Staircases
Metres 25
In 2015, a major renovation of the former Narracott Hotel in Woolacombe, England, was announced, with a completion date in 2019. The plan was to create new residential apartments spread over 6 separate buildings. The 55 apartments in this stunning development range in size from 1 to 4 bedrooms and contain many luxury features such as floor-to-ceiling windows with Juliet balconies. Continuing the designer feel, the communal internal areas include stylish stainless steel and glass balustrades.
The buildings at the project site have a varied history. Having started life as 6 private residences in the Victorian era, they were brought together in the 20th century to create an extensive hotel complex. However, changes in the tourism industry led to the closure of the original hotel. It was clear that a new type of facility would be required – one suited to 21st-century demands. It also had to be a development worthy of the site's spectacular views of Woolacombe Bay, one of the most impressive locations on the North Devon coastline. The result was the Byron apartments – a complex of 6 high-specification buildings artfully connected by landscaped courtyards and pleasant walkways.
Easy Glass Pro stair railings
Communal areas always make a major contribution to the way an apartment building is perceived by visitors. In the Byron apartments, these areas benefit from stair railings with a chic, minimalist look, created using Q-railing's Easy Glass Pro stair railing system. Made from robust aluminium with a stainless steel effect finish, the railings are able to resist line loads of up to 1.5 kN/m, making them more than strong enough for a communal space in a residential or commercial setting.
Hassle-free installation
The Easy Glass Pro system made the installation process quick and easy for project installer WM Ironworks. The system is designed so that all the work can be carried out from the inner side, removing the need for scaffolding. Moreover, each glass panel of the resulting frameless balustrade can be individually adjusted. Installation of glass balustrade on stairways throughout the 6 buildings was incredibly cost-effective as a result. WM Ironworks secured the balustrade directly to the stair structure, mounting Q-railing's MOD 0748 glass adapters onto a stainless steel stringer. As a finishing touch, and for added safety, the stair railing was given a stainless steel cap rail, while matching wall handrails were also installed in certain locations.
