NXP Semiconductors NV (NXPI) Price Index Rolls to 0.988655

NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NXPI) presently has a 6 month price index of 1.190569. The price index is calculated by dividing the current share price by the share price six months ago. A ratio over one indicates an increase in share price over the period. A ratio lower than one shows that the price has decreased over that time period. Looking at some alternate time periods, the 12 month price index is 0.884553 and the five year is 1.433009. Narrowing in a bit closer, the 3 month is 0.966427, and the 1 month is currently 0.988655.
As we sail into the second half of the calendar year, investors may be looking to see what has gone right and what has gone wrong so far this year. Making necessary changes to some holdings may help position investors for the next couple of quarters. Being able to cut the riskier losers and take some profits from winners may help solidify the stock portfolio. As we run through the next round of company earnings reports, investors will be keeping a close eye on the data that is reported. Investors may be looking to buy companies that continue to post beats on the earnings front, and cut ties with ones that are not hitting their marks.
Value Composite Three (VC3) is another adaptation of O'Shaughnessy's value composite but here he combines the factors used in VC1 with buyback yield. This factor is interesting for investors who're looking for stocks with the best value characteristics, but are indifferent to whether these companies pay a dividend.
VC3 is the combination of the following factors:
Price-to-Book
Price-to-Sales
EBITDA/EV
Price-to-Cash flow
Buyback Yield
As with the VC1 and VC2, companies are put into groups from 1 to 100 for each ratio and the individual scores are summed up. This total score is then put into groups again from 1 to 100. 1 is cheap, 100 is expensive.
The scorecard also displays variants of the VC3 where the score is calculated for the selected company compared to peer companies in the same industry, industry group or sector.
Please note that we use Book-to-Market instead of P/B since it allows a more accurate sorting compared to P/B. Stocks with a high B/M show up at the top of the list, stocks with negative B/M are at the bottom of the list. For the same reason we use Earnings-to-Price instead of Price-to-Earnings and Cash flow-to-price instead instead of Price-to-cash flow.
Also important is that we always make sure that companies with the same score get added to the same percentile. For stock universes where the number of stocks is less than 100, we make sure that the stocks are still allocated to percentiles from 0 to 100 instead of 0 to the total number of stocks. This is particularly relevant for the industry, industry group or sector variants where if additional filters are used, the number of stocks often drops below 100.
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NXPI) has a VC3 of 13.
Free Cash Flow Growth (FCF Growth) is the free cash flow of the current year minus the free cash flow from the previous year, divided by last year's free cash flow. The FCF Yield of NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NXPI) is 0.106422. Free cash flow (FCF) is the cash produced by the company minus capital expenditure. This cash is what a company uses to meet its financial obligations, such as making payments on debt or to pay out dividends. The 5 Year FCF Yield of NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NXPI) is 0.059881. Experts say the higher the value, the better, as it means that the free cash flow is high, or the variability of free cash flow is low or both.
Robert Novy-Marx, a professor at the university of Rochester, discovered that gross profitability – a quality factor – has as much power predicting stock returns as traditional value metrics. He found that while other quality measures had some predictive power, especially on small caps and in conjunction with value measures, gross profitability generates significant excess returns as a stand alone strategy, especially on large cap stocks.

Altman Z
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NXPI) currently has an Altman Z score of 2.777821. The Z-Score for predicting bankruptcy was published in 1968 by Edward I. Altman, who was assistant professor of finance at New York University at that time. It measures the financial health of a company based on a set of income and balance sheet values. The Altman Z-Score predicts the probability that a firm will go bankrupt within 2 years. In its initial test, the Altman Z-Score was found to be 72% accurate in predicting bankruptcy two years before the event. In a series of subsequent tests, the model was found to be approximately 80%–90% accurate in predicting bankruptcy one year before the event.
At the time of writing, NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NXPI) has a Piotroski F-Score of 6. The F-Score may help discover companies with strengthening balance sheets. The score may also be used to spot the weak performers. Joseph Piotroski developed the F-Score which employs nine different variables based on the company financial statement. A single point is assigned to each test that a stock passes. Typically, a stock scoring an 8 or 9 would be seen as strong. On the other end, a stock with a score from 0-2 would be viewed as weak.
Investors may be trying to get a read on the next big stock market move. Projecting which stocks are ready to make a run can be tricky. Many investors will track the market from various angles in order to make the best educated decisions. Keeping tabs on all the important economic indicators can help when analyzing the overall health of the stock market. Some financial strategists may be projecting a sharp downturn over the next few months while others believe that there is no tangible reason for the market to lose the near-term momentum.

Q: Got error in making imageview as stretchable when imageview is added as subview of uitableviewcell I want to make imageview as stretchable if i write more then two lines in table cell. But i got problem as below :
My code for cell is as below:
   - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
   chatCell *cell = (chatCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CHAT_CELL_IDENTIFIER];
   NSUInteger row = indexPath.row;
   if (row < chatData.count)
   {

    NSString *chatText = [[chatData objectAtIndex:row] objectForKey:TEXT];
    cell.textLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
    UIFont *font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:14];
    CGSize size = [chatText sizeWithFont:font constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(150.0f, 1000.0f) lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByCharWrapping];
    cell.textString.frame = CGRectMake(75, 18, size.width +20, size.height + 20); // set text frame
    cell.textString.font = [UIFont fontWithName:FONT_NAME size:FONT_SIZE];        // set text font
    cell.textString.text = chatText;                                              // set text
    [cell.textString sizeToFit];

    NSDate *theDate = [[chatData objectAtIndex:row] objectForKey:DATE];
    NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [formatter setDateFormat:DATE_FORMAT];
    NSString *timeString = [formatter stringFromDate:theDate];
    cell.timeLabel.text = timeString;                                       // set timeLabel to display date and time
    cell.userLabel.text = [[chatData objectAtIndex:row] objectForKey:NAME]; // set userLabel to display userName

    self.bubbleImage = [[UIImageView alloc] init];
    self.bubbleImage.frame = CGRectMake(0,22,250,CGRectGetMaxY(cell.textString.frame)+10.0);
    self.bubbleImage.image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"bubbleMine.png"] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:21 topCapHeight:14];

    [self.bubbleImage addSubview:cell.userLabel];
    [self.bubbleImage addSubview:cell.timeLabel];
    [self.bubbleImage addSubview:cell.textString];

    [cell addSubview:self.bubbleImage];
        }
return cell;
}

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
 NSString *cellText = [[chatData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:TEXT];
//calculate height for each row based on the textString
UIFont *font = [UIFont fontWithName:FONT_NAME size:FONT_SIZE];
CGSize size1 = [cellText sizeWithFont:font constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(150.0f, 1000.0f) lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByCharWrapping];
return size1.height+100.0; //or whatever padding value you need
}

there is problem in this :
CGRectGetMaxY(cell.textString.frame)+10.0

in line as below:
self.bubbleImage.frame = CGRectMake(0,22,250,CGRectGetMaxY(cell.textString.frame)+10.0);

because i am getting 2/3 images for single cell .

A: The problem is that you keep adding new subviews to the cell each time they are reused. Instead of just doing:
[cell addSubview:self.bubbleImage];

Try:
[cell.contentView.subviews makeObjectsPerformSelector:@selector(removeFromSuperview)];
[cell.contentView addSubview:self.bubbleImage];

A better alternative would be to create a single UIImageView for bubbleImage when the cell is created and set its autoresizing mask. Then when the cell is resized the image will automatically be changed appropriately...

Katharine Drexel
Feast Day: March 3
Canonized: October 1, 2000
Venerated: January 26, 1987
Katharine Drexel was born to a well-known Philadelphia family in 1858. Her mother died just a few weeks after her birth, but her father remarried, and she and her sisters were raised in a family of deep faith. Katharine was taught from a young age to share what they had with others in need.
As she grew, so did her love for God and others. She focused her energy on the material and spiritual well-being of blacks and Native Americans, whose plight she became aware of on a trip out West. She began by donating money, but she could see that more needed to be done.
During an audience with Pope Leo XIII in Rome, Katharine asked him to send missionary priests to the United States to minister to Native Americans. The pope asked her why she did not become a missionary herself.
So Katharine founded the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament for Indians and Colored People in 1891. She and the Sisters worked to improve the lives of those they served. From age 33 until her death in 1955, Katharine dedicated her life and a fortune of twenty million dollars to this work.
In 1894, Katharine opened the first mission school for Indians in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Quickly, more schools followed, serving both Indians and blacks. Schools to train teachers were also created, and she founded Xavier University in New Orleans, the first black Catholic college in the United States. By the time of her death, more than 500 Sisters were teaching in 63 schools throughout the country.
Katharine was canonized by Pope John Paul II on October 1, 2000. She was the second American-born person to be named a saint.

Scorpio, der Killer (Scorpio) ist ein US-amerikanischer Actionfilm von Michael Winner aus dem Jahr 1973.

Handlung
Cross tötet im Auftrag der CIA Menschen, die für die US-Regierung unbequem sind. Er arbeitet häufig mit dem Franzosen Jean Laurier zusammen, den er zu seinem Schüler heranbildet und der unter dem Decknamen Scorpio operiert.

Eines Tages entscheidet der CIA-Chef McLeod, dass Cross selbst eliminiert werden soll. Cross kann aus Washington nach Europa fliehen, aber seine Frau wird getötet. Cross sucht Hilfe bei dem ihm bekannten sowjetischen Agenten Sergei Zharkov, mit dem er sich in Wien trifft. Dadurch wird er verdächtigt, ein Überläufer zu sein. Laurier wird nun auf Cross angesetzt und spürt ihn schließlich in Wien auf. Nach einer spektakulären Verfolgungsjagd auf der U-Bahn-Baustelle am Karlsplatz kann Cross Laurier abschütteln und kehrt nach Washington zurück, um den Tod seiner Frau zu rächen. Er erschießt McLeod während eines fingierten Verkehrsunfalls.

Der Auftrag des CIA, Cross zu liquidieren, besteht für Laurier weiterhin. Er kann seinen Lehrmeister, dem er in die USA gefolgt ist, schließlich in einer Tiefgarage stellen und erschießt ihn. Dies fällt ihm umso leichter, als er erkennen musste, dass Cross schon längere Zeit ein falsches Spiel mit ihm getrieben hatte.

In der letzten Szene sieht man Laurier, wie er sich bückt, um eine Katze zu streicheln. Aus einem Wagen auf der gegenüberliegenden Straßenseite legt ein Mann mit einer schallgedämpften Pistole auf ihn an und drückt ab.

Kritik
Roger Ebert schrieb in der Chicago Sun-Times, die Beziehung von Cross und Laurier erinnere an die Beziehung der von Charles Bronson und Jan-Michael Vincent gespielten Figuren in dem Film Kalter Hauch desselben Regisseurs. In diesem Film spiele Bronson einen älteren Killer, den der von Vincent gespielte Killer töten solle. Scorpio, der Killer beinhalte zahlreiche Actionszenen, die "vielleicht" zu zahlreich seien. Er sei am besten in den Szenen, in denen die Figuren miteinander sprechen würden. Der Film beinhalte jedoch zu viele Figuren und Wendungen.

Das Lexikon des internationalen Films meinte, "der Film bemüht sich um Glaubwürdigkeit, ist solide inszeniert und hervorragend besetzt".

Auf Rotten Tomatoes gesammelte Kritiken ergeben ein gemischtes Bild. Der Film erhielt von 22 Kritiken 13 positive (59 %) und eine durchschnittliche Bewertung von 6,5/10. Der Kritikerkonsens lautet, "Scorpio bietet nicht viel, was Spionage-Thriller-Fans nicht schon zuvor gesehen haben".

Hintergrund
Der Film wurde in Paris, in Wien und in Washington, D.C. gedreht.

Desiderata, an inspirational prose poem, has been loved by people for generations. It offers common-sense advice for enjoying life. It is a credo for living that found a foothold in California in the 1960s, where it affirmed San Francisco's counterculture with its philosophy of love and peace. Reprinted by underground presses, it hung on walls all over the country. Today it is making a comeback as yesterday's youth are today's parents and grandparents, and this time-honored wisdom is being passed down.
It was 1988 when I first read Desiderata. I immediately loved it and wrote all 300 words down on a piece of scrap paper. As a calligrapher, I was already selling my inspirational art prints and I knew these words would hold deep meaning for others as well. The version I saw said it was written in 1692, so I figured there would be no issue with copyright.
Then I came across a copy that said it was written in 1927 and needed permission to reprint it. I wrote to Robert L. Bell for the rights to use it. He was asking for a lot of money in royalties and I didn't think I could sell enough to cover the initial amount. But then I got a lucky break and landed a spot in the Red Rose Collection catalog with my poster version of Desiderata. I knew then that I could cover the royalties and went ahead with the contract. Robert Bell and I kept up a lively correspondence over the years until he passed away in 2009.
In 1996 a friend of mine was starting to design websites and used the idea of selling my prints online to test her learning skills. With that, Ink Monkey Press was born and I started selling my prints online at inkmonkey.com. But Desiderata was my specialty and I wanted to get it better known. After much research and some good luck, I was able to buy desiderata.com from a young gentleman who owned the url and was looking to sell it to get some money to help with his college education.
I have made this a resourceful site. There is a lot of misinformation floating around the web about where Desiderata came from so I have gathered articles and other facts to guide one along. There are a lot of versions of Desiderata, but I have used the first known printed version from the book that his wife, Bertha Ehrmann, had published of his work in 1948. A copy of that page is here. I have also aimed at sharing other people's heartfelt connections to Desiderata in the reviews that they write after purchasing one of my prints.
In this vast world wide web of automation and conglomerates, I want you to know that there is a real person here at this end. The original lettering of these prints was done by hand and I also drew and painted the flowers and diamonds. I oversee all the printing, place prints in the mats, wash the glass for the framed pieces, and even answer the phone. So when you want a human connection for these words with a human heart, here is where you will find it.
Thank you for visiting, stay for a while, enjoy…It is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
Artist and calligrapher Sherrie Lovler has designed two beautiful versions of Desiderata prints and posters, one with roses and one with diamonds. Many colors and sizes to choose from. Read your own copy every day!

• Global leaders Intel Corporation and Nokia merge Moblin and Maemo to create MeeGo*, a Linux-based software platform that will support multiple hardware architectures across the broadest range of device segments, including pocketable mobile computers, netbooks, tablets, mediaphones, connected TVs and in-vehicle infotainment systems.
• MeeGo offers the Qt application development environment, and builds on the capabilities of the Moblin core operating system and reference user experiences. Using Qt, developers can write once to create applications for a variety of devices and platforms, and market them through Nokia's Ovi Store and Intel AppUpSM Center.
• MeeGo will be hosted by the Linux Foundation and governed using the best practices of the open source development model. The first release of MeeGo is expected in the second quarter of 2010 with devices launching later in the year.
• Nokia and Intel expect MeeGo to be adopted widely by global device manufacturers, network operators, semiconductor companies, software vendors and developers.
ESPOO, FINLAND, and SANTA CLARA, CALIF., Feb. 15, 2010 - In a significant development in the convergence of communications and computing, Intel Corporation and Nokia are merging their popular Moblin and Maemo software platforms. This will create a unified Linux-based platform that will run on multiple hardware platforms across a wide range of computing devices, including pocketable mobile computers, netbooks, tablets, mediaphones, connected TVs and in-vehicle infotainment systems. Called MeeGo, the open software platform will accelerate industry innovation and time-to-market for a wealth of new Internet-based applications and services and exciting user experiences. MeeGo-based devices from Nokia and other manufacturers are expected to be launched later this year.
This announcement strengthens the Nokia and Intel relationship, and builds on the companies' broad strategic collaboration announced in June 2009. Intel and Nokia now invite participation in MeeGo from existing Maemo and Moblin global communities and across the communications and computing industries.
"Our vision for seamlessly communicating between computing devices from the home, auto, office or your pocket is taking a big step forward today with the introduction of MeeGo," said Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini. "This is a foundational step in our evolving relationship with Nokia. The merging of these two important assets into an open source platform is critical toward providing a terrific experience across a variety of devices and gaining cross- industry support."
"MeeGo will drive an even wider range of Internet computing and communication experiences for consumers, on new types of mobile devices," said Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, CEO, Nokia. "Through open innovation, MeeGo will create an ecosystem that is second to none, drawing in players from different industries. It will support a range of business models across the value chain, building on the experience and expertise of Nokia, Intel and all those who will join us. Simply put, MeeGo heralds a new era of mobile computing."
MeeGo blends the best of Maemo with the best of Moblin to create an open platform for multiple processor architectures. MeeGo builds on the capabilities of the Moblin core OS and its support for a wide range of device types and reference user experiences, combined with the momentum of Maemo in the mobile industry and the broadly adopted Qt application and UI framework for software developers.
MeeGo also unites the robust worldwide Maemo and Moblin applications ecosystems and open source communities. For developers, MeeGo extends the range of target device segments for their applications. Using Qt for application development means that they can write applications once and easily deploy them on MeeGo and across other platforms, for example, on Symbian.
The Ovi Store will be the channel to market for apps and content for all Nokia devices, including MeeGo and Symbian-based, with Forum Nokia providing developer support across all Nokia device platforms. The Intel AppUpSM Center will be the path to market for Intel-based MeeGo devices from other device manufacturers, with the Intel® Atom™ Developer Program providing support for applications targeting devices in a variety of categories.
The MeeGo software platform, running on high-performance devices, will deliver a range of Internet, computing and communication experiences, with visually rich graphics, multitasking and multimedia capabilities and the best application performance. Since MeeGo runs on multiple device types, people can keep their favorite applications when they change devices, so they are not locked into one kind of device or those from any individual manufacturer.
The MeeGo software platform will be hosted by the Linux Foundation as a fully open source project, encouraging community participation in line with the best practices of the open source development model. Intel and Nokia invite the respective members of Maemo.org and Moblin.org to join the combined community at MeeGo.com, as well as encouraging wider participation from the communications, computing and related industries. Developers can begin writing applications for MeeGo in Qt immediately. The first release of MeeGo is targeted for the second quarter of this year.

Saudi Arabia executes Yemeni man who attacked Spanish performers | News
Saudi Arabia has executed a Yemeni man discovered responsible of attacking a Spanish dance troupe and wounding three folks on stage earlier than a shocked viewers within the capital Riyadh final 12 months.
The inside ministry introduced the execution in a press release on Thursday, figuring out the person as 33-year-old Emad Abdelqawi al-Mansouri. He was sentenced to loss of life in late December, a swift six weeks after the assault in mid-November.
The troupe from Spain had been acting at a park in Riyadh on the night of November 11 when a person stormed the stage and attacked them with a knife. It marked the primary such incident of violence for the reason that kingdom started loosening restrictions on leisure two years in the past.
The Specialised Felony Court docket, established to attempt "terrorism" circumstances in Riyadh, discovered al-Mansouri responsible on varied costs, together with stabbing performers and a safety guard, intimidating the general public, tampering with nationwide safety, creating "chaos and terror", and making an attempt to derail leisure actions in Saudi Arabia.
The courtroom additionally discovered the person responsible of performing on the orders of a senior al-Qaeda chief in Yemen. The title of the alleged al-Qaeda chief was not made public.
The courtroom dominated a second suspect, who was not recognized, be sentenced to 12-and-a-half years in jail. He was discovered responsible of aiding and abetting the attacker and sending cash to al-Qaeda in Yemen.
State-owned information media shops aired footage of the night time of the assault, displaying safety personnel as they ran on stage to seize the suspect. Different state-linked media shops shared footage on-line of a person operating on stage and apparently attacking the performers from behind because the troupe, wearing gold ensembles, carried out a dance.

Little did most know that recently the warranty for ATI hardware was dramatically reduced, from 3 years to 1 year. Shocking, perhaps, although not surprising. It isn't as bad as it sounds though, as the article makes clear.
Aside from letting them reduce excess inventory to raise profits, ATI is stepping out of the warranty race between ATI and its partners. Although this still isn't good news, "Powered by ATI" cards still carry the manufacturer warranty and perhaps this will encourage ATI partners to offer longer warranties in the future.

One stroke patient's journey to help researchers understand if brain implants connected to a robotic arm brace can help him…and eventually other survivors…restore movement.
By Edyta Zielinska March 3, 2021
Video by 7 Wonders Cinema / Multimedia editor: Carly Williams
The morning of January 19, 2019, Aaron Ulland got up in the middle of the night, took a few steps, and collapsed. He thought that he might have thrown out his back, but he couldn't get up. The next morning, his mother, Holly Ulland found him on the floor next to his bed. She noticed, terrified, how his left arm dangled at his side. At only 39 years old, Aaron had suffered a stroke.
Stroke in young people like Aaron, has been on the rise in recent years. The majority of strokes occur in adults over the age of 65 and leads to permanent motor disability in over 80% of cases, with half of all survivors requiring long-term care. And the numbers are staggering. In the US, it's estimated that someone has a stroke every 40 seconds. Every year, 17 million people worldwide have a stroke, leading to permanent disability more often than any other medical condition.
That morning, Aaron's life, and Holly's, changed completely. As EMTs loaded Aaron into the ambulance, he turned to his mom to say something. "But his words came out garbled," says Holly. "He just had tears rolling down his face." She feared he wouldn't be able to speak again. The stroke, which hit at least two major parts of his brain, had paralyzed Aaron's left side and made it more difficult to speak, swallow, walk and see.
Before the trial began, Aaron set a goal for himself of riding 350 miles on his adult trike. The day before surgery, he looked at his tricycle's odometer: 353 miles.
Although intensive rehabilitation over two months helped Aaron regain many abilities – he was able to walk short distances with a cane, to speak and swallow – he, like so many other stroke survivors, lost his ability to work and a good deal of his independence. He didn't know it then, but in two years Aaron's life would change dramatically again. He would become the first person with this common type of stroke to be implanted with brain electrodes – a brain computer interface (BCI) — that would send signals from the brain to a robotic arm brace designed to move his weaker left arm.
The first if its kind, the Cortimo clinical trial at Thomas Jefferson University would test a treatment that could one day help stroke patients restore movement.
But before that future can become reality, Cortimo researchers would have to test whether it's possible to find usable brain signals still capable of controlling movement in someone like Aaron. It was an open question — one that Aaron and Holly were committed to answering, through two brain surgeries, three months of intensive therapy and much more.
BCI implants were first pioneered in humans some 15 years ago. Patients paralyzed from the neck down were able to use their thoughts alone – as read by these brain-implanted electrodes and interpreted by a computer – to power electrical devices such as a computer cursor or a robotic arm or chair. These patients' spinal injuries had broken the connections between their brains and bodies, but their brains were otherwise healthy. In stroke patients, however, parts of the brain go dark and die. Could brain implants connect with still living neurons near the area impacted by stroke and could they learn to control movement? Would Aaron's brain be able to control a fitted, robotic brace to help him improve his fine-motor control of his weakened arm? The Cortimo trial aimed to find out.
This science sketch helps explain how this research is using brain-computer interface (BCI) to restore arm movement after a stroke.

Conquering the Beast
After Aaron's stroke in 2019, two months of inpatient rehab helped him walk again, but not very far. "During his first day of rehab, he took a total of 12 steps, and collapsed back down, exhausted," recalls Holly. He got a wheelchair for use at home, but it was too big to navigate inside the house. Holly dubbed it "the beast." They'd use the chair for longer trips, like walking their dog Gator around the neighborhood.
They'd start their walks with "the beast" at the end of their driveway so Aaron could walk to it. Each day, Aaron asked his mom to move the wheelchair a little bit further, to fence post, then the stop sign, then down the street. Until one day he walked the loop of their neighborhood – 1.2 miles – without needing the wheelchair once.

"Aaron's drive to improve, to succeed, to become more independent, that tenacity was such an important aspect to the success of this trial," says the lead researcher of the Cortimo trial at Jefferson, Mijail Serruya, MD, PhD, who was part of the team that had implanted the first human with brain implants 15 years ago.
We were asking Aaron to agree to brain surgery and then spend three months of his life with us, so we could monitor him closely and he could train daily. That's a big commitment!
We needed someone who was ready to work really hard on something that would be different than anything he's ever done before. We were incredibly lucky to find just that person in Aaron and his mother, Holly."
The pre-screening for the trial was slated to begin in March, 2020, with brain-implantation surgery in April. But the plans came to a screeching halt as Philadelphia began to shut down. Schools closed and all non-essential staff had to stay home to slow the spread of COVID-19. All clinical trials at Jefferson, including the Cortimo trial that Aaron had signed up for, were halted.
Time to Reboot
"Aaron was so worried," recalls Holly. "That whole summer, he kept saying 'I hope I don't lose the trial.'" Holly texted regularly with Erica Jones, the clinical trial coordinator for the Cortimo study, who offered reassurance and information as it came in. By the middle of the summer infection rates had slowed, and the restrictions on clinical trials began to lift. The team re-booted their plans. Erica made sure Aaron and his mom could get to all of the appointments from their home, nearly an hour away from Jefferson, with all of the necessary COVID-19 precautions in place. Soon, the team had set a new day for surgery – October 23rd.
Despite the difficulty ahead, despite knowing that he'd have brain surgery twice – once to implant the brain electrodes, and once to remove them three months later – Aaron had become excited by the possibilities that the clinical trial offered him. He'd have the chance for additional intensive rehabilitation through physical and occupational therapy and learn to use a robotic brace fitted for his weakened arm.
The brace, custom-made for Aaron, would be his to keep post trial. More importantly, his participation would inform future treatment for stroke patients like him. "Aaron knew this trial stood to help lots of other people with stroke one day. That really mattered to him," says Holly.
The Road to Brain Surgery
"His hand is really tight," says Dr. Serruya at one of the Aaron's visits with Jefferson rehab occupational therapist Joe Kardine. Using a bit of force, Dr. Serruya gently stretched Aaron's curled fingers out straight. As soon as he let go, the fingers curled inward again to their resting position. "I'm worried that if we can't loosen his grip, we're not going to be able to get the brace over Aaron's hand," says Dr. Serruya. "We can't do the trial without the brace."

For a month, Aaron came into the city from southern New Jersey for two sessions weekly with Kardine and physical therapists Tiffany Prince-Kandrakota and later, Joseph McCoy, to reduce the tension in this left hand and to improve his walking. Using electrical stimulators placed on top of Aaron's arm to send small pulses into his muscles to activate then release them , Kardine worked to loosen Aaron's grip. After a few weeks, the stiffness had improved and Dr. Serruya noticed less resistance in opening Aaron's hand.

While Aaron got ready, so did many other experts working on the Cortimo Project. Three weeks before surgery, Aaron came in for an fMRI with Kiran Talekar, MD, and his radiology team, who were tasked with finding the exact location where the brain implants should go. Although the stroke had damaged part of Aaron's brain, the team was searching for areas of brain tissue that might still have enough signal to control his left arm via electrodes. Aaron lay in the MRI tube with Dr. Talekar by his side instructing him on when to think about opening his hand, in time with the machine's scan cycle. Dr. Serruya, physicist Devon Middleton, PhD, and MRI technologist Jamie Noonan sat in the observation gallery, watching the brain scans — dark for many cycles — suddenly light up with activity. They found areas of brain tissue where electrodes could be implanted.

With these scans and others, neurosurgeon Chengyuan Wu, MD, developed the specifications for a 3D printed replica of Aaron's brain, created by Jefferson's Health Design Lab. The scan and the 3D replica would help neurosurgery chair Dr. Robert Rosenwasser, president of the Vickie and Jack Farber Institute for Neuroscience, together neurosurgeons Dr. Wu and Dr. Ashwini Sharan plot out and prepare for the surgery.

The day of the surgery finally came before sunrise, the morning of Friday, October 23rd. Aaron was excited by the opportunities the surgery might present.

Holly was a few floors away nervously waiting for updates from Dr. Serruya and the team. Erica Jones had taken a day off work to be with Holly, taking her for walks outside when worry made it too hard to sit still. "He's grown up. But he's still my little boy," Holly says.
Nine hours later, the surgeons emerged from the OR to give Holly the good news. "Dr. Serruya walked over to me and took my hands in both of his, and said Aaron did it, the surgery went well," recalls Holly. "That gesture was something I'll never forget. It was exactly what I needed in that moment."
The four electrode arrays were successfully placed, with wires leading through Aaron's skull into two ports externally visible at the top of his head. His three-month, intensive journey to answer the clinical trial question had begun.
Every day, Aaron, Dr. Serruya and his team of engineers, would meet at the residential hotel suite near Jefferson where Aaron stayed. The day would begin with Aaron's arm under an electrical warming blanket, to release that abnormal tension and relax the curled fingers of his weaker left arm. Then, Dr. Serruya would plug one of the ports sticking out of Aaron's head into a massive computer that would record the signals from individual neurons just next to his stroke.
Dr. Serruya working with Aaron to control the arm brace.
Now the real work had begun. "This is like learning to walk, but learning it every day, while the floor shifts under you, and the laws of gravity change," says Dr. Serruya.
Each day, before Aaron could learn to control the robotic brace, the computer algorithms had to learn from Aaron—using artificial intelligence (AI). The electrodes recorded the "voices" of Aaron's neurons in his brain, as Aaron controlled the movement of a small dot or characters in a simple computer game – with his thoughts. Then, engineer-neuroscientist Alessandro Napoli, PhD, would pinpoint the individual neuronal cells in Aaron's brain with the strongest and clearest voice. He was looking for cells that "fired" or activated in time with Aaron's intention to move – a task made infinitely faster with the help of machine learning approaches.

Once the researchers had pinpointed the right neurons and trained the computer algorithm, it was time for Aaron to work with his very own engine-red motorized arm brace — first using his residual arm muscle to work the brace and then finally, bypassing the muscle to control the brace with only his brain.
"When we bypassed the brace's muscle control with the brain control coming from the implants, it worked," says Dr. Serruya "Aaron said it felt natural. That day was a breakthrough."
Aaron successfully drops an eraser into a bucket using his arm brace.
There were other times, though that it seemed as if the neurons the research team chose to be the day's main "voices" weren't the right ones and Aaron struggled to control the arm smoothly. "If the brace does not respond quickly enough, he fights it," recalls Dr. Napoli after a difficult week. "As soon as you put the brace on, it frustrates him when it doesn't always do what he wants."
What Drs. Napoli and Serruya soon discovered was that the brain signals they were recording in Aaron, a stroke patient, were quite different than what they were expecting based on years of research in patients with spinal cord injuries. They had to change the algorithm design to give Aaron better and more consistent control.
"What we're studying is much more relevant to all of the people who live with disability from stroke. But for that reason, it's also more challenging," says Dr. Serruya.
With wireless implants on the horizon, and with what Dr. Serruya and team have learned from Aaron, it's conceivable that in the next decade, patients like Aaron could get fully implanted and wireless devices (rather than Aaron's, which still required a wired connection). They would train hard with an AI specialist and team of occupational and physical therapists, and then go home with a more natural control of a motorized brace that restores mobility.
"For a group of patients like Aaron, who really don't have a lot of treatment options a year or two after their stroke, this approach could be a game changer," says stroke neurologist Diana Tzeng, MD, who worked with Aaron to try to pinpoint the cause of his stroke and ensure it didn't happen again.
The What Ifs
A different possibility – though the Cortimo trial wasn't designed to test it directly – is even more intriguing. Could an implant, coupled with intensive training and rehab, help retrain a portion of a stroke patient's brain to form new connections needed to improve mobility? Could there be more sustained improvements in mobility even after implants are removed?
One afternoon, near the end of the trial, after Aaron's arm had been resting under a heated blanket to relax his muscle tension, Dr. Serruya stood a few feet away. "Let me see your arm," he said to Aaron. For the first time in nearly two years, Aaron instinctively lifted his hand and extended his fingers toward Dr. Serruya, completely unaided. Dr. Serruya looked at Holly, who was sitting nearby. "I was tearing up," she said. "I haven't seen those fingers extend like that in two years." Not quite believing what they saw, Dr. Serruya asked Aaron to do it again. And he did, just like that, as if his brain was finding a way around the abnormal muscle contraction, to control his arm again without the brace.
Occupational therapists like Kardine say that there's always more that stroke patients can get back with intensive training. "Although most people's improvements plateau after about six months, it's not impossible for additional advancements, especially with the intensive training that Aaron's been getting," says Kardine.
"Future studies would need to explore that more definitively," says Dr. Serruya. "What we observed lasted a few moments, but what if it could be patterned into the brain and last longer? We have a lot more to explore and are starting to do that through our Center for Neurorestoration. But we couldn't have gotten here without Aaron's altruism, his persistence and commitment to helping others."

Can I Get a Stroke, Even if I'm Young and Healthy?
Five things you thought you knew about stroke.


Yesterday, the final day of 2011, I had a bad run. It was the first time I've been to Central Park for a workout since my Himalayan Adventure, and I had high hopes that I would enjoy a relaxed 6-mile loop. Sadly, my hopes were dashed.
I'm still battling the remnants of the pneumonia that I picked up in Nepal. And I shouldn't have set the bar so high for myself yesterday, but that's what I do. I met up with a couple of friends, and we started out at an easy pace. We caught up on life and chatted about our New Year's Eve plans. Then I stopped talking, the effort was becoming too much. We tucked into Harlem hill, and my chest tightened up. I couldn't breathe. I slowed to a walk, and I wanted to cry. This hill that I used to hate, but over the years had come to love, was suddenly back on my bad list.
At the crest I began to jog again, but the damage had already been done. I was mentally shot. I took another walk break on the next incline, and then cut off onto a dirt path to head back across the park where I started. In total, I completed about 3.5 miles. I should have been congratulating myself for getting that far, but instead I was frustrated. Mad at my lungs for being weak, angry that I'm still not better after three weeks of rest, annoyed that I got sick in the first place.
This morning as I welcomed in 2012, I realized I'm being way too hard on myself—I'm expecting too much, too soon. I'd like to say that I've resolved to lower the bar, to be more compassionate with myself (mentally and physically), and to stop feeling frustrated when things don't go the way I imagine. But I haven't. Instead, I'm looking into new training plans, new shoes, and destination races, and coming up with goals that are above and beyond the ones I set for myself last year.
I'm clearly not paying attention to the lesson I should have picked up from yesterday's disappointment. Instead, what I have learned is that I'd rather shoot for the stars than aim too low. If I don't even reach the moon, yeah, I'll be bummed. But the kernel of positivity in my heart reminds me that the day I get it will be incredible.
Happy New Year!!! Have you made any resolutions yet?

In an interview with the UN News Centre on 30 July, the Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura explained his proposal of launching thematic discussions through intra-Syrian working groups to address key aspects of the Geneva Communiqué. "One is the humanitarian issue, which means access. People are requesting a format through which access can be guaranteed for many things: medicines, humanitarian aid, food. And there is, of course, the mother of all issues: the political process. And that means how to get into a [political] transition, through a transitional governing body, but do so in a way that you are not actually producing an immediate shake-up, rather, a scenario where you are getting, gradually but clearly, to a different political scenario, where everyone is included. All that can be part and should be part of this working group, so that when the right time comes, the working groups would be ready", the Envoy noted.
The United Nations Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura ended his visit to Cairo where he met with the Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs His Excellency Mr. Sameh Shoukry and the National Security Adviser Mrs. Fayza Aboulnaga.
The discussions revolved around the way forward to support Syrian parties in their search of a political solution to the conflict and the relevance of all international efforts exerted to put an end to the suffering of the Syrian people.
Mr. de Mistura also met with several members of the Syrian opposition who were present in Cairo.
The Special Envoy will be continuing his consultations with Member States in the region in the coming few days.

Within the framework of the Geneva Consultations, Deputy Special Envoy for Syria Ramzy Ezzeldin Ramzy met today with representatives of leading Syrian civil society organizations, including Mr. Fadel Al Shokfa and Mr. Wael Aleji of the Syrian Network for Human Rights. They briefed on the situation on the ground, and discussed prospects for a political solution in Syria.
Mr. Ramzy met with Mr. Haitham Manna, who briefed on the outcomes of the Cairo II meeting. The two discussed the ongoing efforts of the Syrian political, armed and civil society groups to find ways to end the conflict in Syria through political means.
Mr. Ramzy also met with a Palestinian delegation, headed by Ambassador Ibrahim Khraishi, who briefed on the situation of the Palestine refugee community in Syria. The two also discussed the situation in the region and prospects for ending the conflict in Syria.
At the end of today's meetings, Mr. Ramzy again registered the continued plea of the Syrian groups for an urgent end to the conflict. He stressed that there was no alternative for the United Nations to sparing no effort to help reach a political solution that would meet the aspirations of the Syrian people for peace, dignity and justice.
On 21 May, Mr. de Mistura received a delegation from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, led by Mr. Nawaf Al Tal, Adviser to the Foreign Minister. Mr. Al Tal shared his Government's assessments of the situation in Syria, the extent of the humanitarian suffering and its impact on the neighboring countries, as well as ways to end the conflict there through diplomatic efforts. In his separate meeting with a delegation of the European Union, led by EEAS Managing Director Mingarelli, the Special Envoy heard the EU's emphasis on a search for a political solution to the Syrian crisis. Mr. Mingarelli reiterated the EU's full support for the OSE-led effort to create a conducive environment for the resumption of a meaningful political process. The Special Envoy also met with Ms. Basma Kodmani, Executive Director of the Arab Reform Initiative, Mr. Samir Aita, member of the Syrian Democratic Forum, and Mr. Nabil Kassis of the Al-Waed party. At the end of the day, Mr. de Mistura observed that, "deepening humanitarian and security concerns, as well as the evolving priorities of the people in Syria, are outpacing discussions over a political solution in Syria. The ISIL/Daesh offensive on Palmyra is a stark reminder of that", he stressed. Mr. de Mistura also took note of calls on the United Nations to redouble efforts to help Syrian and regional actors reach an agreement on a peaceful future Syria.

Caio Servílio Estruto Aala () foi um político da gente Servília nos primeiros anos da República Romana eleito tribuno consular por três vezes, em 408, 407 e 402 a.C..

Primeiro tribunato (408 a.C.)
Em 408 a.C., foi eleito tribuno consular com Caio Júlio Julo e Públio Cornélio Cosso.

Os équos e os volscos, depois de guarnecerem a cidade de Verrugine e arrasar o território à volta, enviaram um exército para combater os romanos até Anzio (), a mais ativa cidade na organização da campanha.

Depois de longas discussões, com pareceres contrários de Caio Júlio e Públio Cornélio, finalmente Roma chegou à conclusão de que seria necessário nomear um ditador para combater Anzio.

Assim, Caio Servílio nomeou ditador Públio Cornélio Rutilo Cosso que, por sua vez, nomeou o próprio Caio Servílio como mestre da cavalaria (magister equitum). O exército romano derrotou facilmente o exército inimigo.

O exército romano derrotou facilmente o inimigo.

Segundo tribunato (407 a.C.)
Caio Servílio foi eleito tribuno novamente em 407 a.C., desta vez com Lúcio Fúrio Medulino, que já havia sido cônsul duas vezes, Caio Valério Potito Voluso e Numério Fábio Vibulano, ambos em seu segundo tribunato consular. Todos eram patrícios e já haviam ocupado o cargo máximo da magistratura romana antes.

Terminada a trégua com Veios, Roma enviou uma embaixada para obter retribuição pelos danos sofridos:

Os romanos, porém, por causa da lentidão na tomada de decisões, perderam a guarnição de Verrugine, que foi massacrada pelos volscos e équos. O exército enviado para ajudar chegou atrasada e não pode fazer nada além de vingar a guarnição, massacrando o inimigo, surpreendido enquanto saqueavam a cidade.

Terceiro tribunato (402 a.C.)
Em 402 a.C., foi eleito tribuno novamente, desta vez com Quinto Servílio Fidenato, Lúcio Vergínio Tricosto Esquilino, Quinto Sulpício Camerino Cornuto, Aulo Mânlio Vulsão Capitolino e Mânio Sérgio Fidenato, estes dois em seus segundos mandatos.

Enquanto continuava o cerco a Veios pelos romanos, chegaram reforços inimigos de capenatos e faliscos, que atacaram a zona comandada por Sérgio Fidenato, colocando-o subitamente em dificuldades, principalmente depois da chegada de unidades veias.

A animosidade entre Sérgio Fidenato e Lúcio Vergínio, que comandava o acampamento mais próximo da zona de combate, provocou a derrota do exército romano, que perdeu completamente o acampamento dos soldados de Sérgio Fidenato:

Logo depois do desastre, por conta de uma proposta de Caio Servílio, o Senado decidiu antecipar a nomeação dos novos tribunos consulares para as calendas de outubro ao invés de esperar os idos de dezembro, como era usual.

Ainda neste ano, a guarnição de Anxur (Terracina) foi derrotada pelos volscos.
