Dreams. Imagination. Knowledge. Dedication. Reality.
In March 2010 Echolight srl was officially incorporated by the founding team with a revolutionary idea: developing the first radiation free device for early diagnosis of osteoporosis at lumbar vertebrae and femoral neck.
It is officially filed the first patent of EchoSound technology: an innovative echographic approach for bone micro-architecture characterization.
Life Science Capital S.p.a., an italian investment company in the medical device sector, invests in Echolight to support and speed up the research and development activities of the company.
The first version of Echos is finalized: the only radiation free device for bone densitometry at lumbar vertebrae and femoral neck. A decisive step towards a new era in the early diagnosis of osteoporosis.
In collaboration with the National Council of Research the first multi-center study for the clinical validation of the new device in the most important reference centers for the diagnosis of osteoporosis is launched.
Echolight secured all the standard certifications: UNI CEI EN ISO 13485: 2012, ISO 13485: 2003, UNI EN ISO 9001: 2008 Quality Management System and the CE mark for Echos, EchoStation and EchoStudio by KIWA CERMET.
Echolight introduces to the international medical community the latest release of Echos at the World Congress of Osteoporosis.
Panakès and Invitalia Ventures have co-led an investment round in Echolight, in order to support the clinical validation of the innovative technology and the worldwide launch of the product.
Echolight at the International Trade Fair MEDICA launched Echos after extensive research and development activities carried out over the last eight years.
Echolight established the new international scientific advisory board with the most important medical personalities in the diagnosis of osteoporosis : Prof. Maria Luisa Brandi, Prof. Cyrus Cooper, Prof. Adolfo Diez-Perez, Prof. Jean-Yves Reginster and Prof. Renè Rizzoli.
Echolight S.p.A. has received 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its range of products in the U.S.A.


An enchanting quilt with marvelous Batik style prints and fine piecework. Great combination of classic quilt designs. The border sash is especially attractive. Well made in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania by an Amish woman.
The back of the quilt is covered with a fine golden tan on cream floral cotton print. The quilting density is good, averaging about 110 linear inches of stitching per square foot. The stitching is good with 6 to 7 stitches per inch. A high quality quilt.

Must we trigger Article 127 if we want to leave the single market?
The new Brexit legal challenge
by Jolyon Maugham	/ November 29, 2016 / Leave a comment
A cross-party pro-EU pressure group says it will bring High Court proceedings on the matter ©Sjiong, Wikimedia Commons
The dark and dusty corners of the internet aren't wholly taken over by climate change deniers and crush videos. Constitutional lawyers have one too. And of late it's been consumed with the Norwegian option.
In case you've forgotten—and I rather hope you have—Norway is part of the European Economic Area. It's a kind of single market hinterland where the "four freedoms" apply—including free movement of persons (and you still make contributions to the budget, and you have less influence over the laws that apply to you) but where you get to strike your own trade deals and you're outside the Common Agricultural Policy and… but anyway.
And constitutional lawyers have been talking about the Norway option because Professor George Yarrow, Emeritus Fellow of Hertford College, Oxford, published an intriguing paper suggesting that by quitting the EU we could end up like, well, Norway.
And yesterday morning a brave archaeologist of the internet, the BBC's Diplomatic Editor James Landale, took it from that corner and thrust it, blinking, into the light.
You'll recall that the mechanism by which we leave the EU is Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. But, or so the argument runs, the EEA Agreement has its own mechanism for leaving the EEA: Article 127. And, because it has its own mechanism for exiting, to leave the single market and the EEA we'd also have to trigger Article 127.
The government disagrees, of course. To agree would be to admit it hasn't properly surveyed the legal terrain and doesn't entirely know where it's going. But, for what little it's worth, I think Yarrow's analysis on this central point is right.
In one sense all of this is mere formality. If the government can quit the EU it can also quit the EEA. But there is another sense in which it is quite profoundly important. The question whether we want to remain members of the European Economic Area—or the single market—was not put in the referendum. Indeed, a number of prominent "Leave" campaigners insisted that leaving the EU did not mean leaving the single market. And, although it is not an argument I find particularly compelling, many read the Conservative's 2015 Manifesto as promising continued membership of the single market.

Personally I think that we made a bad decision in the referendum but I think we have to lay to rest the notion that voting to leave the EU did not give the government a mandate to leave the Single Market. It was made clear by the then Prime Minister and his Chancellor (and if you can't trust them to tell the truth who can you trust!!!!) on several occasions that a vote to leave the EU meant a vote to leave the Single Market as well. For politicians to now say that we did not vote to leave the Single Market is simply another ploy to try to delay or reverse the decision made on 23 June and still maintain that they respect the will of the people expressed in the referendum is hypocritical in the extreme. The question of Article 127 is a similar case to Article 50, a matter of dotting the legalistic 'Is'. The public is getting annoyed with what it sees as elitist attempts to frustrate the will of the people. There are renewed calls for a second referendum on the terms of Brexit and some wag has suggested a third referendum so it will be the best out of three!!!
Luke A
I understand your argument but I respectfully disagree. Although those campaigning for remaining made the possibility of Brexit forcing us to leave the single market clear, people did not vote to leave the EU on the basis of what Remain campaigners said (or at least not purely). On the Leave side, I believe there was something of a split on the matter. It seems to me all a little bazaar, deferring to campaign rhetoric in order to divine the intentions of the public. It surely makes more sense to simply respect the public's answer to what the referendum *asked*, and make other decisions around that (such as single market access) based on what is in the national interest? You could argue that this was partly the reason the question was left so basic, so that these decisions were not being made by the public. Instead, I think our current government is operating in continual fear of populist revolt, which is neither in the national interest, nor democratic.

Being a roguelike fan, I found it on some roguelike site
I actively searched the net for a game like this
I was browsing the net for something else and found it by accident
I've known UrW for so long that I don't actually remember

I'm not entirely sure but I think I found this game thru Mikrobitti -magazine. Must have been somewhere between 2000-2004.
I still have the original money transfer receipt from bank when I registered the game back then, that would probably have the date.

I first heard of URW on the Roguelike Radio episode about it.
See my Comprehensive Guide to Character Creation (or the video) of the same.
URWelo
Gotta be honest, I can't even remember how I originally found the game. I think my first exposure might've been through Mikrobitti too - maybe the game was featured as a "game of the day" or something. Whatever it was, I downloaded the game without a second thought, being a big fan of roguelikes. Fell in love with the game, but the limited lifetime in the shareware version just wasn't doing it for me, so after a while I sent my registration letter through snail mail, I believe along with cash money (technically forbidden, but this was before convenient online payments, so meh, sue me), and soon enough I was the proud owner of a registered copy of URW. Felt pretty good to have my name displayed in the main menu and everything.
Fast forward a decade and a half, and just yesterday I rolled a new character. The main menu doesn't display my name anymore, but the magic's definitely still there.
Brygun
I vaguely remember someone mentioning it. This was pre-steam. At the time I was between work so a free to try game with a recommendation was an 'okay lets try'. Turned out I liked it. Paid into becoming a lifetime member. Did a simple mod. Annoyed Saami for a while every time I did a minor update to the mod. We eventually just realized its better to link to the mod thread in the forum so he wouldn't have to do coding every... few days... or few hours.
I think I may have seen UrW in RogueBasin first (like five years ago), when I was actively searching for roguelikes in the survival genre.
wonderingmonster
I think it was on a shareware cd I bought 20+ years ago, before I had internet. I didn't start playing it properly until about 5 years ago when I found it was still being developed.
Infirito
First saw this game at Jef's 10/12 hour streams, found a pirated version after that, played it for 6 more hours and bought the lifetime membership the next day.
rumpel
I first heard about the game on the Bay12 board.
Crisamie
I found the game by doing a google search for a game that was similar to one I was playing. I hated the way the developer of the other game was implementing things and when people asked him what he was doing, he said "It's my game and I will do whatever the hell I want. I don't care what people want." So that statement prompted me to do searches to find a game similar to it. I found UnW and I have not been disappointed.
Guhndahb
Rock, Paper, Shotgun did a post about it a long time ago. That was the first I'd heard of it.
Had to go and search email archives when I bought UrW. Seems to have been in summer of 2007. So it is 10 year anniversary of full game for me. That doesn't however tell when I found UrW first time, I played it quite long time (years) with demo before Windows version came, and I decided it is time to make next big step in this relationship. It is nice to get messages now and then about changes in forums and new version, it always brings me back to this game.
beetle237
I remember seeing it on the old download.com site, when I was looking for games to run on my Dell with integrated graphics. Must've been 1999 or so - I was a latecomer
Trying to remember what site it was, but I know it was a game forum for some game way back when
torakfade
Oh dear... I have no idea, though I clearly remember 2.80 coming out and me being all excited about it so I must have found out about UrW around 2002-2003 ...
It's been 15 years already

Countless couples seem to have no trouble conceiving. They simply make the decision to have a baby, cease whatever birth control measures they may be using, and within a couple months, they're making a joyful announcement to family and friends. However, it's not that simple for everyone. More than seven million women currently face difficulties with conception; therefore, a number of treatments have been developed to combat this widespread issue.
Since infertility occurs for a broad range of reasons, not all methods will work for every individual. Some issues are relatively simple to resolve while others require far more in-depth care. For those who aren't ovulating as they should, a prescription such as Clomiphene or Metformin could be the only element needed to resolve the problem. In the event the specific factor in infertility isn't clear, these medications may also be used as a first step toward treatment.
Damage or impasses in the Fallopian tubes preventing eggs from being fertilized as they should may require surgery to allow conception to take place. In some instances, abnormal tissue builds up along the lining of the uterus. Known as endometriosis, mild to moderate cases of this condition can often be reversed through surgery.
Delving further into the available options, in vitro fertilization entails fertilizing an egg outside the body in a clinical setting followed by implanting the embryo into the mother's uterus. More than one attempt may be required to achieve pregnancy. While this solution has helped millions conceive, factors such as age and additional health concerns could prevent carrying the fetus to full term.
Although advancements in modern medicine have aided in combating the many fertility hurdles faced today, some prefer to rely on ancient techniques. Acupuncture has been found effective for many in both reversing infertility and preventing miscarriage. Based on the theory of removing physical roadblocks by restoring balance to an individual's life force, this technique has been employed for centuries.
These and many other alternatives are detailed in the pregnancy miracle book. Along with solutions to infertility, the book covers basic human anatomy and focuses on helping people better understand the reasons behind their inabilities to conceive. The goal of the book is to aid in resolving infertility for as many as possible.

Greyhaven – Ten Dogs — Red Heaven (New Music)
Kentucky based Greyhaven have just released Empty Black. The ten tracks from the collective that is Brent Mills, Johnny Muench, Nick Spencer, and Ethan Spray are clearly something I need to spend much more time hanging out with (based on my brief jaw-dropping listen). In the meantime, we wanted to give some love to the fifth track of the album and its first single: "Ten Dogs – Red Heaven".
While it's not blatantly spelled out, the track seems to be a dark exploration of the business of war. "Ten Dogs – Red Heaven" takes us metaphorically face to face with a smooth demeanoured and neatly suited businessman in grey, who has much more going on than meets the eye.
Dropping down into this person's truthful reality, the loss of life is the cost of mission failure. It is seen as a matter of fact, with no cause for alarm. Blood and body bags are the dirty reality of war that the metaphorically grey suited folk have no connection to, in their unemotional ambition to progress, no matter the cost. And the cost turns out to be the lives of human beings.
The track is sonically potent, with strong declarations of disturbing fact while death hovers like a stench in the background.
"They fall out of the sky,
Make dust of your bones"
Our obedience to authority is pointed at here, uncomfortably, with climbing emotional intensity that pours out as the track progresses. Where disgust and rage could get centre stage in this song, the (mostly) clear statements echo the unaffectedness of those who choose 'who we lose'.
There's something mammothly intriguing here, inspiring me to want to pick the brain of the songwriter. "Ten Dogs – Red Heaven" is grabbing from the beginning onward, seeming to be in part because of the ferocity of message that's being shared, without it being spelled out. Along with Greyhaven we writhe and shift through this magnificently structured exploration of the business of war.
Check out "Ten Dogs – Red Heaven" below. You'll want to listen to Empty Black too. We've also included the track on our Spotify playlist: The Depth List: 2018.

Bizzarre Statements: Is it Apirl's Fools or are they real?
You'd just get suspended here. Unless it was really violent.
I told you already the preacher recieved my tithes!
Can I be both a nerd and a jock?
[Locked] Why aren't I allowed to use colors?
I just used her SI spread.
Where do I find fun?
^ I think that's where I saw it.


Does this sound suspiciously similar to your typical morning?
We are all (painfully) aware that today's fast-paced world requires us to process huge amounts of information. There's no sign in sight that this is going to change anytime soon. We're trying different things to tackle this: installing productivity apps, introducing "winner" morning routines, repeating mantras to cope with the stress, reading every business guru's guides.
So why are we failing? Why are we still overwhelmed, stressed, and unproductive as a result?
We at Loop believe the solution lies somewhere else. Someplace we are all very familiar with but forget its value. We believe that the informational overflow of your workday can only be tackled with the help of other people.
Sadly, many people are still doing that wrong, which results in even more chaos.
Do you think you got your teamwork fine-tuned?
Read a few unconventional tips and tricks for handling your overload problems by improving the way you work with your team and tell us if we've hit the nail on the head!
According to an research based article published in INC.com, the average person checks his email 36 times per hour. Reading emails occupies 23% of the workday. The incoming messages and email threads take a huge toll on our minds, emotions, and productivity. The frustration of an overloaded inbox is something we are all dealing with, not to mention the daily dilemma's of "Whether I even want to open an email from John with the subject line: One more thing…". Gosh, we hate those.
What's the main reason for these huge numbers of emails? In our experience, it's the way people use it to work with other people. Email's CC, BCC and Forward actions weren't made for the way people abuse it today (remember any email thread that turns into a conversation between just two people about something completely irrelevant).
Email also wasn't built for solving complex problems. You probably know this one: a customer starts a project. You include a couple of people from your side, and the customer adds a couple of their employees as well. After the first 5-10 replies everything looks under control, but as soon as you look away for 5 minutes – all hell breaks loose with 23 unread emails on the same topic.
We've built Loop Email to solve these exact situations. We designed a feature called Loops. With it, you can easily transit between a conversation on email and going to side chat and discuss things with the team in the same thread. Loops de-clutter your inbox by decreasing the number of forwards or CCs by up to 75%!
Sounds like wishful thinking? You'll never know unless you see for yourself! Find out more about Loops.
Remember that 1 pm meeting you accepted in the morning? Suddenly the meeting becomes the focus of your day, and you find yourself juggling between it and seven other tasks that need your attention before it.
Let's start with a crucial question: should this even be a meeting?
If you're not working in sales and you have more than two meetings per day – you're doing something wrong. That's because businesses usually use meetings for reviews and providing feedback, and that's a very stagnant way of providing feedback to individuals and teams.
Meetings today are often a time and place for people to get on top of things with each other within this communication noise in their inbox. However, this only adds the effort to something that can be fixed. The dream is to create a space where all team members can work in a positive environment where feedback can be easily communicated in real time. The environment must allow employees at every level to speak up and easily share feedback to a group of people as easily as they do one on one. Information should be shared, received, and discussed in real time, with actionable insights easily noted. This can only happen if you switch to real-time online communication – for example replacing a stagnant email platform to online messaging.
Use real-time messaging instead of holding meetings.
We get it – everyone has a favourite messaging app, and as a result, your team ends up speaking to the same people over multiple different apps. But this is causing several other issues: like new channels to form conversations or more places to search for documents. Did you know that people spend almost 20% of their work day just searching for documents and gathering information?
Having them scattered over multiple apps adds up to the problem. So how is it even possible to get your whole team to use one app to communicate?
Now, we know we'll attract some weird looks by stating the following: get everyone to use the tool they all already use – email.
"But didn't all the other communication and collaboration apps start because email couldn't do its job?" you might say, disappointed and ready to close this tab. Hear us out for a second!
It turns that no matter how many communication apps we use – we always end up dealing with the important stuff in our inbox.
The place where it all starts and ends, your inbox.
Email is where work happens, a place everyone already is – so Loop Email has redesigned it. You can communicate with your team in different ways (emails, chats, team chats, Loops…) on a single platform – there's no need for any extra collaboration apps. We've worked to make sure Loop keeps you in control of your inbox with the benefit of a team chat app. You can collaborate easily with your team and stay focused on the job at hand.
Lastly, the thing we love most about it? Your external clients, partners or customers don't need to use Loop to get the messages through to you.
Do you like what you hear, and you want to give it a try? It's completely free for you to try out Loop. If you like it, we'll be happy to onboard your entire team to it. If you don't like it, we would love to hear what we could do to improve it.

(1846-03-22)22 March 1846
Chester, England
St. Augustine, Florida, U.S.
Notable work
The Diverting History of John Gilpin
Three Jovial Huntsmen
A Frog He Would A-Wooing Go
Randolph Caldecott (;[1] 22 March 1846 - 12 February 1886) was an English artist and illustrator, born in Chester. The Caldecott Medal was named in his honour. He exercised his art chiefly in book illustrations. His abilities as an artist were promptly and generously recognised by the Royal Academy. Caldecott greatly influenced illustration of children's books during the nineteenth century. Two books illustrated by him, priced at a shilling each, were published every Christmas for eight years.
Caldecott also illustrated novels and accounts of foreign travel, made humorous drawings depicting hunting and fashionable life, drew cartoons and he made sketches of the Houses of Parliament inside and out, and exhibited sculptures and paintings in oil and watercolour in the Royal Academy and galleries.
Caldecott was born at 150 Bridge Street (now No 16), Chester,[2] where his father, John Caldecott, was an accountant, twice married with thirteen children. Caldecott was his father's third child by his first wife, Mary Dinah Brookes. In 1848, the family moved to Challoner House, Crook Street, Chester, and in 1860 to 23 Richmond Place, Boughton, a village just outside the city.[2]
From his early childhood, Caldecott drew and modelled, mostly animals. His main education came with five years at the King's School, Chester, a grammar school then in the cathedral precinct in the city centre, which he left at the age of fifteen. In that same year, 1861, he first had a drawing published, a sketch of a disastrous fire at the Queens Railway Hotel in Chester, which appeared in the Illustrated London News, together with his account of the blaze.[2]
On leaving school, Caldecott went to work as a clerk at the offices of the Whitchurch & Ellesmere Bank in Whitchurch, Shropshire, and took lodgings at Wirswall, a village near the town. When he was out on errands, he was either walking or riding around the countryside, and many of his later illustrations incorporate buildings and scenery of Cheshire and that part of Shropshire.[2]
Caldecott's love of riding led him to take up fox hunting, and his experiences in the hunting field and his love of the chase bore fruit over the years in a mass of drawings and sketches of hunting scenes, many of them humorous.[2]
A pen and ink drawing Caldecott had published in a Manchester newspaper[3]
After six years at Whitchurch, Caldecott moved to the head office in Manchester of the Manchester & Salford Bank. He lodged variously in Aberdeen Street, Rusholme Grove and at Bowdon. He took the opportunity to study at night school at the Manchester School of Art and practised continually, with success in local papers and some London publications. It was a habit of his at this time, which he maintained all his life, to decorate his letters, papers and documents of all descriptions with marginal sketches to illustrate the content or provide amusement. A number of his letters have been reprinted with their illustrations in Yours Pictorially, a book edited by Michael Hutchings. In 1870, a painter friend in London, Thomas Armstrong, put Caldecott in touch with Henry Blackburn, the editor of London Society, who published a number of his drawings in several issues of the monthly magazine.
Encouraged by this evidence of his ability to support himself by his art, Caldecott decided to quit his job and move to London; this he did in 1872 at the age of 26. Within two years he had become a successful magazine illustrator working on commission. His work included individual sketches, illustrations of other articles and a series of illustrations of a holiday which he and Henry Blackburn took in the Harz Mountains in Germany. The latter became the first of a number of such series.
Illustration for "The House that Jack Built", from The Complete Collection of Pictures & Songs, published 1887. Digitally restored
He remained in London for seven years, spending most of them in lodgings at 46 Great Russell Street just opposite the British Museum, in the heart of Bloomsbury. While there he met and made friends (as he did very readily) with many artistic and literary people, among them Dante Gabriel Rossetti, George du Maurier (who was a fellow contributor to Punch), John Everett Millais and Frederic Leighton. His friendship with Frederic (later Lord) Leighton led to a commission to design peacock capitals for four columns in the Arab room at Leighton's rather exotic home, Leighton House in Kensington. (Walter Crane designed a tiled peacock frieze for the same room.)
In 1869 Caldecott exhibited a picture in the Royal Manchester Institute. He had a picture exhibited in the Royal Academy for the first time in 1876. He was also a watercolourist and was elected to the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours in 1882.
In 1877 Edmund Evans, who was a leading colour printer using coloured woodblocks, lost the services of Walter Crane as his children's book illustrator and asked Caldecott for illustrations for two Christmas books. The results were The House that Jack Built and The Diverting History of John Gilpin, published in 1878. They were an immediate success; so much so that Caldecott produced two more each year for Evans until he died. Many of Evans' original printing blocks survive and are held at St Bride Library in London. The stories and rhymes were all of Caldecott's choosing and in some cases were written or added to by himself. In another milieu Caldecott followed The Harz Mountains with illustrations for two books by Washington Irving, three for Juliana Ewing, another of Henry Blackburn's, one for Captain Frederick Marryat and for other authors. Among well known admirers of his work were Gauguin and Van Gogh.
Randolph continued to travel, partly for the sake of his health, and to make drawings of the people and surroundings of the places he visited; these drawings were accompanied by humorous and witty captions and narrative.
In 1879 he moved to Wybornes, a house near Kemsing in Kent. It is there that he became engaged to Marian Brind, who lived at Chelsfield about seven miles away. They were married on 18 March[4] 1880 and lived at Wybornes for the next two years. There were no children of the marriage. In the autumn of 1882 the Caldecotts left Kent and bought a house, Broomfield, at Frensham in Surrey; they also rented No 24 Holland Street, Kensington. By 1884, sales of Caldecott's Nursery Rhymes had reached 867,000 copies (of twelve books) and he was internationally famous.
Memorial to Randolph Caldecott in Chester Cathedral
Caldecott's health was generally poor and he suffered much from gastritis and a heart condition going back to an illness in his childhood. It was his health among other things which prompted his many winter trips to the Mediterranean and other warm climates. It was on such a tour in the United States of America in 1886 that he was taken ill again and died. He and Marian had sailed to New York and travelled to Florida in an unusually cold February; Randolph was taken ill and died at St. Augustine. He was not quite 40 years old. A headstone marks his grave in the cemetery there.
Soon after his early death, his many friends contributed to a memorial, which was designed by Sir Alfred Gilbert. It was placed in the crypt of St Paul's Cathedral, London. There is also a memorial to him in Chester Cathedral.
Gleeson White wrote of Caldecott:
Caldecott was a fine literary artist, who was able to express himself with rare facility in pictures in place of words, so that his comments upon a simple text reveal endless subtleties of thought ... You have but to turn to any of his toy-books to see that at times each word, almost each syllable, inspired its own picture ... He studied his subject as no one else ever studied it ... Then he portrayed it simply and with inimitable vigor, with a fine economy of line and colour; when colour is added, it is mainly as a gay convention, and not closely imitative of nature.
G. K. Chesterton wrote in a Caldecott picture book that he presented to a young friend:
This is the sort of book we like
(For you and I are very small),
With pictures stuck in anyhow,
And hardly any words at all.
You will not understand a word
Of all the words, including mine;
Never you trouble; you can see,
And all directness is divine--
Stand up and keep your childishness:
Read all the pedants' screeds and strictures;
But don't believe in anything
That can't be told in coloured pictures.[5]
For Maurice Sendak "Caldecott's work heralds the beginning of the modern picture book. He devised an ingenious juxtaposition of picture and word, a counterpoint that never happened before. Words are left out--but the picture says it. Pictures are left out--but the word says it." Sendak also appreciated the subtle darkness of Caldecott's work: "You can't say it's a tragedy, but something hurts. Like a shadow passing quickly over. It is this which gives a Caldecott book--however frothy the verses and pictures--its unexpected depth."[6]

VARs and the rest of the channel have a lot to gain from the economic stimulus bill signed into law by President Obama. Here are five of the most important reasons to support it.
The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), an industry trade organization, praised the measure as beneficial to VARs. The organization said that it would benefit the IT industry and IT workers despite some weaknesses.
"CompTIA hails Congress's economic recovery conference agreement," said Bob Kramer, CompTIA's vice president of public policy. "IT figures prominently in working to get jobs to Americans and lifting this nation out of its economic malaise."
1. Digitizing Health Records – The measure allocates $19 billion for modernizing health-care record-keeping and implementing health information technology (HIT) to lower costs and improve quality. This will surely bolster the entire health care vertical market, as medical professionals, hospitals, testing facilities, clinics and other healthcare providers face new mandates to make patient records more secure. New rules that establish how patient data will be shared and under what circumstances still must be established. However, doctors' practices will receive between $44,000 and $64,000 in incentives to computerize medical records, and hospitals get as much as $11 million each. That's a lot of money that will flow to solution providers with the right healthcare solution.
The measure also includes $2 billion for a National Coordinator of Health Care IT. Look for massively increased spending for storage, security and perhaps data virtualization as the government mandates a uniform, nationwide benchmark in health-care services and patient record keeping and compliance. VARs and ISVs active in the health-care market stand to reap huge rewards. "This cash infusion, aided by properly crafted HIT standards, will boost HIT uptake, which we trust will find its way to small practices, where the majority of Americans get their healthcare services," said Kramer.
2. National Broadband – As in health care, the U.S. lags behind many other industrialized nations in its ability to deliver broadband services to the general population. The stimulus package contains $7 billion for broadband services, including $2.5 billion for the rollout of a national broadband network in under-served rural areas. With the promise of a national broadband policy finally in sight, the U.S. government will join the ranks of European and Asian nations such as France, Singapore, China and Japan in delivering easy access to the Internet. The establishment of such a network could trigger a barrage of new application development among VARs and lead to massive development of new mobile devices that can access the national network. It could also stimulate the private sector service providers to be more innovative in delivering their own broadband services.
3. IT Energy Efficiency – The new bill allocates $20 billion in tax incentives for energy efficiency projects. There is $4.5 billion allocated for development of a smart electric grid. These funds and tax incentives will drive IT solution providers to work more closely with utility companies and energy providers to implement projects that provide utilities more control over the power grid and allow individual consumers to maintain more control over their energy use at specific time periods. There will be more smart-monitoring and remote control of household appliances and a greater need for wireless networks.
"These incentives will work to jumpstart an industry that, because of economic signals which frustrate robust green R&D, has not yet flourished," noted Kramer. "Hundreds of thousands of jobs will result as we learn to 'pro-sume' energy. Many of these will be in the IT industry supporting 'green' industries and reducing energy consumption."
4. More Government IT Spending – VARs, system integrators and vendors on the government GSA schedule have cause to rejoice. There is more than $10 billion in the stimulus measure for government IT spending, including $2.5 billion for the National Science Foundation, $1 billion to the Census Bureau and $6.5 billion to the Department of Energy. That's a lot of computer hardware, software and services.

Q: How to use the Facebook SLComposeViewController in a UIView instead of a UIViewController I'm having a problem using the Facebook SLComposeViewController in a UIView. The problem I'm having is because I have a UIView and not a UIViewController that I'm inheriting from.
I've imported:
#import <Social/Social.h>
#import <Accounts/Accounts.h>

and am trying to present the Facebook sharing using:
 SLComposeViewController *controllerSLC = [SLComposeViewController composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
[controllerSLC setInitialText:@"First post from my iPhone app"];
[controllerSLC addURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.test.com"]];
[controllerSLC addImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"test.jpg"]];
[self presentViewController:controllerSLC animated:YES completion:Nil];

It's the last line it won't present the view because I'm inheriting from UIView and not UIVIewController I'm not sure how to fix this. I just want to share an image.
thanks for any help.

A: UIViews cannot present view controllers. You'll need to set up a way to call back to the UIViewController that is presenting to your UIView.
A common way would be to make create a delegate on your view. When something happens on that view, the delegate method is called which messages the view controller that implements your delegate methods. From there, you can present the view controller from your parent view controller.
In your view's .h file:
@protocol YourUIViewDelegate <NSObject>
- (void)theDelegateMethod;
@end

@interface YourUIView : UIView

Horrible crime and sadly a live was lost thanks to this criminal that shows no remorse for her actions, it will be very difficult to know how much responsibility the mother actually shares but what is clear is that the government failed protecting a child here.
Strangerland
Pathetic mom, even if she was a victim. She well deserves the 5 years. The subject of the story is a vampire. No use to society.
602miko
Ahhh I'm not a victim-blaming but when it comes to a mother I know much better about my child.
Toshihiro
15 years is not enough for this sad excuse of a person. Not only did she ended the life of someone who could've done a lot of good in this world, but done so in one of the most torturous ways possible. I pray for the eternal peace of that young soul and I hope that there is a special place in hell for people like these.
Given the circumstance that the main culprit was plump, she should receive the same experience the boy was being through to truly repent her crime.
Gaijinjland
Bizarre. So she had 2 million yen to give to her manipulative friend, she couldn't feed her child? I don't get it. The mother basically killed her child and she only gets 5 years? It doesn't matter whether or not she was manipulated, she killed her child. Japanese justice.
Aly Rustom
In June, when passing judgment on Ikari, Tomita acknowledged that the mother could be considered a victim, giving her a five-year sentence, much shorter than the 10 years sought by prosecutors.
where do they get those judges? 10 years minimum.
As for the "female dog" that manipulated her, 15 years ONLY??
What the hell is wrong with the Judges here? She should have gotten life.
Chabbawanga
Starve them both to death. Sickos
"Misery loves company!"
It seems obvious that Akahori was miserable and jealous of Ikari's life, so she seeked to ruin it and take everything from Ikari.
Unfortunately, it worked; and hopefully, Akahori will spend the rest of her life paying for it.
Where was Ikari's husband when their son was slowly dying?
That is some true life modern drama-horror movie stuff right there.
Stephen Chin
This is a prime example of a premeditated crime of great cruelty which took the Kari's 'friend' Akahori years of intrigue and planning to carry out the slow-paced murder of Kari's son Shojiro by day by day starvation till he died at five years of age. Kari was brainwashed by her so-called friend Akahori into giving her enormous sums of money as well as to allow her son Shojiro to be slowly starved to death. The mother is not guilty of any crime and should be freed. But her 'friend' Akahori should be sentenced to 15 x 5 = 75 years. As she is now 49, it means she will be freed when she is 124 years of age. The good die young. But the evil woman Akahori may still live to be freed in 2097.
Pliskin
In my opinion, she should have gotten more than 15 years. Make it 30 years at least.
She's 49 now, meaning she will be out of jail at 64. Japanese women are still pretty much very capable at that age.
She pleaded not guilty and showed no remorse for her crime. After getting out of jail she could do it all over again, and other children may suffer.
shogun36
A 49-year-old woman was sentenced to 15 years in prison Wednesday after a Japanese court found that she had manipulated her friend to starve her 5-year-old son to death.
Emiko Akahori psychologically controlled the friend, Rie Ikari, 40, with lies
ummm…..what?
how do you "psychologically control" a 40 year old "friend?"
How weak and ignorant is the "victim?"
How sick is the manipulator?
What is this? A synopsis from one of them J-Dramas?
sentence is not correct.
eye for eye teeth for teeth.
correct sentence will be starve her to death and all time to "manipulate" her...its not a human but evil.zero sympathy.
finally rich
Many problems (if not most) in society starts in a fatherless home.
SDCA
At first I was going to say that's it? But then I realized she is going to come out of prison at a retired age and hopefully she enjoys scrubbing toilets for the rest of her life cause that's the only job she'll be able to do. I also hope they confiscated most of her assets as well.
The mother deserves at least as long a sentence as her manipulative "friend".
This story makes me so sad.
purple_depressed_bacon
Assuming the kid went to school (I'm guessing attending school is mandatory in Japan) how did his teachers not clue into his deteriorating condition and report it to the relevant authorities? This whole case reads bizarre - I don't understand how one's motherly instincts csn be overridden by psychological manipulation. What did the manipulator have over the mum exactly to allow for such brainwashing?
darknuts
Friend talks mom into killing child, 15 years. Mom who actually kills child, 5 years. Lot of sense this makes.
I can see a person being manipulated, and giving over money, that's common enough-
But not to the degree that you would be unaware that you were harming/starving your own child.
That is truth staring right at you.
The judge is inept.
The psychopath is guilty, but so is the mother.
Also, that poor little boy had no pre-school teachers, no govt. agency intervention, no health checks, no neighbors, friends or relatives, and no father, to check in on him?
R.I.P. Little soul.
Disillusioned
The two women became acquainted in 2016 and began conspiring from around August 2019 to cut down the amount of food Ikari's son Shojiro received
This statement proves they are both as guilty as each other and should recieve the same sentence. The mother may have been influenced by the other woman but she ultimately starved her son to death.
Sanjinosebleed
WTH is wrong with people! What mother is going to starve their own child no matter what anyone else says??? Unbelievable! The poor liitle man!
commanteer
correct sentence will be starve her to death
Considering she is morbidly obese, that may take a while. Ironic, such a fat woman starving someone to death.
Mr Kipling
Just what are the odds of someone this evil finding someone this gullible? There has to be much more to this story.
Guy-Gin
Sorry but the mother is as much to blame for this murder if not more. She deserves 15yrs too.
I'd suggest Akahori receive the same treatment she implemented towards that poor kid.
Anyone who bullies, uses threats, blackmail and manipulation is purely evil. She preyed on the weak and took advantage of them. 15 years is too short and I'm sure when she gets out, she will still be the same evil person. I hope her name is forever remembered and that others are made aware who she is and stays well away from her. She should forever be blacklisted.
Geez some people just don't get it! What parent would EVER do this to their child???
she has a huge responsibility and even though the evil person who "took advantage" of here should be put away for a long time as well the mother should never have been a mother if she can do this to her own child!
And of course no one noticed that a 5 year old was wasting away.... Or rather no one said anything.
samuraivunyl
Don't waste taxpayers' money on keeping this vermin alive .The gallows noose asap please.
lostrune2
Old people and conspiracies
Good start, but should have been longer. Hopefully, for her it is a life sentence and she never sees the outside of a prison again. As for the mom, put a picture of her son in her cell that cannot be removed or defaced, but stares at her day in and day out for the duration of her term, asking why.
MaikuC
The victim is the child.
DOEL HARRY
So Rie Ikari starved her 5-year-old son to death, at that age didn't the school system wonder why he did not attend school. Where were the grandparents during this ordeal???? The father of the 5-year-old boy was he so stupid or blind that he didn't see what was happening to his son. SO SAD that SO MANY people FAILED this little boy .... RIP my Friend ....

The beauty of yoga practice is that it is so much more than just an exercise routine. It's also so much more than personal time on the mat for self-care. It's these things and much more. Because yoga also works as a mental and spiritual practice, it helps us understand the nature of reality in our lives off the mat.
We better understand our true nature and the true nature of the world around us when we get quiet and still. Yoga helps us get rid of the mental fog, the body cobwebs and the heart constructions – all of which block our ability to understand the truth in all things. However, the more we practice, the more we cleanse all these blockages – be them physical, mental, emotional or energetic.
Through our devoted yoga practice, our entire being becomes more polished instruments in which we can see things from a perspective that is lucid, clear and true. Through meditation, which our yoga practice prepares us for, we still our monkey mind – the one that makes up stories and labels things as good or bad – the mind that often dwells on the past and projects into the future, avoiding or withdrawing from what's happening in the present moment.
When our minds become clear, when they become centered and still, they make better choices and respond from a space of quiet presence and wholeness, rather than a place of reactivity. In cultivating this clear presence, we begin to understand why things are the way they are. We see things for what they are, without the mental projections we've placed upon them. We also allow our loved ones to be who they are, rather than trying to control them or placing expectations upon them.
Yoga teaches us how to understand things in so many ways and on so many levels – just one more reason to delve deeper into your practice!

PHILADELPHIA Frankie "The Gorilla" Pistone leans wistfully on his bat. Then, without warning, he picks it up, swinging it furiously toward his deadbeat client's leg. Just before the Louisville Slugger makes contact with the man's kneecap, he pulls back, as only a real pro can, leaving the $250-in-the-hole man gasping in fear and relief. "Just get it to me by tomorrow, because next time, I ain't gonna let up," Pistone says.
Loan shark Frankie Pistone, whose way of life is endangered by the likes of American Express.
As the thankful man scurries off, Pistone pulls the cigarette out of his mouth and drops it to the ground. "I'm going to miss this," he says.
Though their client lists are dwindling, the loan sharks still have their champions.
With nearly 200,000 new credit-card solicitations going out every week, the loan sharks have little hope of regaining the ground they've lost.


Therein you will find 2-D art that I've made by hand. Paintings, drawings, prints, & my latest adventure - collages. There's a link on the left, or you can get there by clicking here: Mita's 2D Fine Art.
The page features selected works from over the decades. Ones that I'm proud of, which I enjoy, & that I feel most continue to represent me over time.
More to come soon, as I'm on a big visual art bender lately. The first piece on the new art page was completed only a few days ago, & more water-media will be posted soon.
Of note, regarding my 2-D art: My first job was as a helper/apprentice with a fine art oil painter in Phoenix, AZ. I learned *so much* working with her for 3 years, between the ages of 14 & 17. I prepped her surfaces in the very particular ways that she preferred, which - if a canvas - often required around a dozen coats of gesso, sanded & steel-wooled in between to create the glass-smooth but still-springy surface that she so loved (inspired by the canvases of her fave artist, Salvador Dali). The skills I learned from & with her - art skills, life skills, the art of storytelling - have assisted me in my own life's work ever since.
I also have a knack for imitating the work of other artists, & I've had other jobs assisting other artists with their own creations, as well, including the detailed painting, itself. Various styles.
I'm sure I've left some off. They'll come to me later. In the meantime, if you're interested in working with/hiring me for an art project/job, & don't see that yours is a medium I'm already skilled with, try me! There's a chance I'm at the very least familiar with the technique, & I'm also quite savvy with new tools & techniques. Cheers!


Are these the Bulls' top 10 games of 2014-15?
The NBA sure knows how to start a party. This one is the 2014-15 regular season NBA celebration, and for the Bulls it begins with a bang in New York against the Knicks October 29 and then for the Bulls' home opener against LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers Halloween night, October 31.
So have the Cavs been paid back enough yet for losing LeBron James?
For the third time in four years, the Cavs Tuesday won the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, and this one is a good one.
The last night of the NBA season may not be the most exciting, but it may be the most intriguing.
Because it may be more like a John le Carre novel, something of the Season that Came in from the Cold, and not just because it's finally becoming warmer outside.
The Bulls game in New York Sunday suddenly, and surprisingly, became, at least in theory, a lot easier.
Though it may make the playoffs a bit more difficult.


Without much doubt, growth is good. However, while every business owner naturally strives for business growth, it requires careful management and planning, otherwise it can pose significant risks for the enterprise. Growth is not simply a function of sales and revenue, but has hidden dimensions: Time, energy, stamina, determination, focus, discipline and leadership are required to combat the challenges associated with growth strategies. Here are some factors to contemplate.
Fast-growing young businesses or start-ups are especially vulnerable. In the rush to expand, they often neglect fundamental business practices such as implementing sound credit control procedures, or they may ignore possible working capital and cash-flow constraints. The dilemma, of course, is that growing companies are the hungriest for cash, so they are most at risk.
With the strong desire for growth, it can be very tempting to try and capitalise as quickly as possible. Overtrading is however a common problem, particularly for recent start-ups and rapidly expanding businesses. It occurs when cash flows are insufficient to meet the working capital requirements associated with new sales. This often means that the funding gap needs to be financed, which adds to additional interest cost which then means that working capital is pinched even more in a serious, and often fatal, downward spiral. How does it typically play out? A business takes on work or a prized contract, but finds that fulfilling the deal requires significantly more resources – whether it is people, stock or working capital – than are available.
Suppliers may have to be paid quickly, or even in advance, while the business could, for instance, have to hold stock for considerable periods. Cash-flow can then dry up courtesy of a gap (often a big one) between payments that are due to go out and payments owing. The upshot is that the business may face a scary cash shortfall and the risk of collapse. Effective debt management and credit control can help businesses avoid overtrading, ensuring they get paid more efficiently and have sufficient cash to pay suppliers and staff. Options can include offering discounts for prompt payments, while improving stock control should be part of the equation.
In such situations, the business may have to slow down sales or investigate cost effective working capital funding solutions that better align sales with production and capacity. Common actions include seeking new equity from an outside investor (potentially compromising business independence); negotiating extended terms with trade creditors (which may come with increased prices or the removal of discounts) or increasing your bank overdraft (at the same time lifting debt levels).
High growth business can often layer up on unnecessary processes and support services, and in a high growth environment these can cause unnecessary complexity and drag on growth. Consider adopting 'lean' philosophy based on keeping your operation as simple as possible. Ask yourself two questions: 1) Can we simplify this process further? 2) Does this add any value for the customer? Odds are, if you answer 'no' to one or either of these questions there may be scope to reduce cost and complexity, allowing you to focus on managing growth effectively.
Another funding tool that helps finance growth and frees up cash-flow in such circumstances is debtor finance. In essence, it is a line of credit extended against the business' receivables, allowing it to convert unpaid invoices into cash – quickly.
A typical debtor finance facility will advance up to 80 per cent of the face value of the business's invoice within 24 hours. Such facilities are flexible and grow in line with receivables, so you can get scalable working capital that meets business needs without having to continually renegotiate limits. Importantly, too, there is typically no requirement for real estate security with debtor finance.
How the service is delivered can vary, ranging from confidential invoice discounting (for larger businesses with a dedicated finance department) to the full management of accounts receivables (ideal for SMEs because it allows them to focus on growing their businesses rather than chasing outstanding invoices).
Like cash, energy is a limited commodity in business and is always at risk with the ups and downs of running a small or medium sized business. Lethargy is the enemy and can lead to poor judgement or neglect which can derail any serious growth strategy, leaving your entire investment and the jobs of those you rely on to execute it, at risk.
As much as possible, avoid getting pulled into the 'day to day' through smart use of technology and empowering smart people. Ensure you have plenty of time to recharge and refocus on what is important. Your energy, and the energy you transmit to your workforce is critical to maintaining your growth rate. Business leaders often talk about building a 'burning platform' for change and growth. Work on the story you give to staff to ensure they share the sense of urgency around growth. Spend time away from the business to refocus, and reflect on your leadership and decisions and take inspiration from other leaders. Consider a leadership course, networking events with other high growth business owners or a business mentor to provide coaching.
Forging strong relationships with your financiers and suppliers is a smart business move because they can better understand your business's growth plans and play their part in your success. Consider it an investment and an 'insurance policy' which can support you through the inevitable ups and downs in business. High growth businesses need flexibility to maintain growth rates and lower growth or declining businesses need flexibility to provide them time to resolve issues.


Solos of the Sea – Solo Violin A is a very simple legato solo instrument. The library continues along the line of the unfolding Con Moto series with active-bow and legato notes, recorded in real time (with motion). The latter is complemented by the adaptation of the "tonal memory", which helps to minimize the susceptibility of the musician to the timbre variations between sustain and shorter legato-assets.
