Top 5 November Romance Book Releases
you'll want to read from cover to cover while you're underneath your covers. *Ahem*
by: Angie Lynch
I don't know what it is about the month, but it seems that all the books are being released during November. Not that I'm complaining; it's just that my holiday shopping time will be severely limited while I hole up in my room reading the new books.
"Sorry you kids won't be getting that new game system with all of those new limited edition games. Mama has some smut to read."
I'm not shy about admitting I have a literary boyfriend, and he lives in Olivia Cunning's mind. My boyfriend, Brian Sinclair, is the subject of Cunning's first book in The Sinners On Tour series, Backstage Pass, and the band's lead singer, Sed Lionheart, is the subject of the second, Rock Hard. Coming out in November is Trey's story, Double Time. Yes, that's meant to be a double entendre in the most literal sense because if you know these characters, you know Trey is bi-sexual. In Double Time, Trey has unabashedly fallen in lust with a girl, but to be fully satisfied, he needs to have a man in their life. Will it happen for Trey? I had the pleasure of reading Double Time and I can say without a doubt that all of Trey's needs are met. And met. And met again.
Here's where I admit that Alice Clayton is a personal friend, but friendship aside, she's an amazingly hilarious smut writer. Not just funny but she's a really good writer, too. She makes you love her characters, laugh with them, and want only good things for them. The Unidentified Redhead and The Redhead Revealed are the two books Alice has published, but another book is coming out on November 27th: Wallbanger. And here's where I also admit that I've read it and it is AMAZING. If you love the Redhead books (P.S. The 3rd Redhead book will be out this Spring!), you will love Wallbanger.
I'll start by first saying that The Original Sinners books aren't for everyone. They are heavy into BDSM, more so than many people enjoy reading. That said, Tiffany Reisz is once of the best writers I've ever read, and for that alone, I highly suggest her books. The Prince, Reisz's third book in the eight-book series, is set to be released on November 20th. If I hadn't already read The Prince (I know - I have an amazing job), I know I would be up late on November 19th into the morning of the 20th, waiting for the book to arrive on my Kindle. The book is slightly different in how it's written than the first two stories. Following the same characters as the other two books, The Prince moves forward in the lives of the characters, yet it gives much more detail in the history of how and why they have evolved into being the people they are. I can't love on these books enough, and I'm afraid Tiffany Reisz is close to taking out a Twitter restraining order on me and my fangirl actions.
The first two books in Jennifer Probst's Marriage to a Billionaire series are currently out and are must-reads for any romance reader. The third (and final?) book in the series, The Marriage Mistake, will be released on November 6th, and if you love the first two, you'll love the third book. Out of the three books in this series, the second one, The Marriage Trap, is my favorite, but the first, The Marriage Pact, and third are close behind on my must-read list. Plus, in reading The Marriage Mistake, we find out what's been happening in the lives of the characters from the first two books!
Originally published as a 5-part e-serial series, Anything He Wants: Dominated By The Billionaire will be released as a full-length novel on November 27th. The most draw-out emotion in this book is lust, pure and simple l-u-s-t. Not knowing anything about the handsome man she starts making out with in an elevator, Lucy is seduced into an intriguing and impossible-to-pass-up opportunity to be anything this billionaire wants. And, yes, he does mean anything.

If you are working with Lightroom, and you have converted your files to DNG with X-Transformer, but you also want to work with those files in Capture One, then you will need to be able to work with X-Transformer files in the latter. This is especially true if you haven't kept the original RAF files, or have lost them, which happened to me recently. Despite the fact that I always recommend to people that you keep both, I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to following my own advice. When working on my laptop while travelling recently, I just converted the RAW images straight off the memory card and didn't bother backing up the .RAF files. I was short on space, and I hadn't intended on using anything other than Lightroom, so I didn't bother backing them up.
When I got back, I wanted to try out the new features in Capture One 11.1 which was released while I was away, and then it dawned on me as to why I needed to work out a way of suitably handling X-Transformed files. Anyway, that's all beside the point now.
First of all, as there are a million different ways you can configure X-Transformer, I based the settings that I use off Recipe 1 in my book. If you have the guide you can check that out, otherwise, here is a screenshot of the settings that I almost always use in X-Transformer.
One important thing is to make sure that Lens Corrections are set to use metadata.
If you have installed Film Simulation colour profiles, you can set those after import too. I have these set as defaults, so they apply automatically on import. If you haven't come across how to get and install film simulation profiles for capture one, I have a video on how to do it on my YouTube channel.
Once you have imported the files, they should work pretty much as standard RAW files. I have noticed a few things though. Chromatic Aberration tends not to be as well controlled using the standard settings, and you may need to use the "Analyse" option to get a better result. I find that using the purple fringing slider fixes a lot of problems too.
If you do want to use a higher sharpening setting, then using the Halo Suppression slider can help control the amount of sharpening halos that make the image look over-sharpened, so play around with that a bit too.
As always, a lot of this comes down to personal choice, so I've just presented my own preferences here, and you may well prefer a different look. I think these settings should give you a relatively normal looking file though, without being over-sharpened or overly treated. Anyway, I hope this is useful.

Now that the high-capacity SDXC cards are available (with up to 2TB in total size), some Nikon D90 owners might be looking at purchasing 64GB+ SDXC cards for additional/expanded storage.
The bad news, is that the Nikon D90 currently does not support the SDXC memory. Since the physical interface between SDHC and SDXC cards is the same, Nikon might be able to support SDXC in D90 by releasing a firmware update that can read the SD 3.0 specification. However, based on the history (specifically, the Nikon D50 + SDHC compatibility problem), Nikon probably will not address this problem and only provide support for the SDXC format on the upcoming Nikon D90 update that will be released next year.
As of today, only 64GB versions of the SDXC cards are available for sale by major retailers. Higher capacity cards with up to 2TB in size and up to 300MB/second transfer rate will be released by various manufacturers in the future.
After reading the SDXC news I am curious what the future of CF is (I'm a D3 user) Will newer cards/capacities still be introduced based on the UDMA standard, or will we see a phase-out of this type. Also, I had heard about differences in data reliability between CF and SD but questioned the truth of such assumptions. Any insight there?
Lincoln, absolutely! Nikon and many other companies is teaming up with CompactFlash association to create faster, more reliable and much larger CF cards to be used in future cameras. They are talking about future 1TB+ sizes now and soon enough, you will see very large cards that will have lots of additional space. CF is certainly here to stay!
As far as data reliability, I believe manufacturers will still push CF to be more reliable than SD, although SD has been making a lot of good progress during the last several years. I believe CF is still going to be the gold standard for pro-level bodies, while SD will be a good alternative for such things as recording video.
Just to let you know. I own a 64gb card SDXC card as shown above, and it works fine in my Nikon D90. I am very impressed, good speed for continuous mode. It will take over 4,000 photos in RAW.
Could you please send me the product code of the card you are using?
Nasim, yes it's definitely working in my D90. It is the exact card as shown above in the image on the original post. I'm not sure what you mean by product code, but I can show you the barcode number from the box that the SDXC card came in if you like?
This sounds really promising. Thanks!
My XC card also works in my D90–but only for stills, not video.
Damien, I have the same issue too. XC card only works for stills and not video.
Are your D90 and the SDXC card still playing well together? I'd love an update. :) Thanks!
Yes, very well thanks! The card hasn't let me down. I use it for a variety of devices now, two different DSLR's, the D90 and the D3100. I also use it to backup important info and it also works very well as a large USB removable disk! Let me know if have any more questions!
do you guys know if SDXC works with Nikon D80… ???
Not sure if it works on D80, but if I come into contact with one I will be sure to try it out and let you know!
Isaac, my Lexar 64SDXC card works in my D90 TOO, to take photos, BUT it WON'T record video. Any luck with yours? Anyone has the same success/ prob?
Hi! Yes I have the same problem! Not sure why this is, must be something to do with the age of the D90's. It dosen't bother me too much though. How are you getting on with the card?
This card works in my D90 for photos, but not for videos. Do you have any issue with videos?
How do you know there will be an "upcoming Nikon D90 update that will be released next year."?
I would think the card pictured would have a hard time with video because it's a class 4. Minimum is class 6 for HD 720. I try not to buy anything under class 10 (the highest you can buy).
Hi, I write from Italy, I would be too interested in this memory, if kindly can you tell me the , you would be grateful.
I wish I would have read this before I bought a SanDisk Ultra SDXC 64 gb for my Nikon D90. Have they came out with an update yet? Mine will not work dangit.
Try formatting the card Within the D90. That worked for me. I use it all the time.
I did format in the D90, it didn't work. Thanks though.
I have a SanDisk 64gb micro sdxc which works fine using a generic sdhc adapter in my Nikon D80(!) – you just need to make sure you format it with Fat32Format. Freshly formatted and placed in my camera, the D80 reports 8.5k image capacity!
Having just purchased a Transend SDXC UHS-1 64gb class 10 card, it to excepts photos but not video, but it is slower and the buffer slows to a halt much quicker than my old Lexar 8gb SDHC class 6 card..
Not sure why this could be.
my 64 works fine with pictures and video on my d90.. I didn't even realize that I wasn't supposed to use them until a friend told me.. its' really all ive used for the last couple of years..
is this update out already? I want to buy this card for my D750 and I wonder if it would also work on my D90?
SanDisk 64GB micro SDXC, picture ok but no video. SanDisk 32GB extreme micro SDHC, picture and video ok, good speed too…Nikon D90.
Does anyone know if the new D90 firmware update can be used in a D80? Nikon has not updated the D80 firmware since 2007 I believe.
This is super helpful and I'm assuming that it's also true for my old D80. I got a SanDisk 64GB Class 4 SDXC, formatted it in the camera, and the top info window told me it was "full" – read "full", also would not calculate the number of shots available, nor allow me to take a picture. Put the card in my computer and it was formatted properly for the Nikon camera format, just like the old cards were. Thought it might be a bad card, so I did an exchange with the same results.
Do you know if any of the D80 firmware updates address this? I can only seem to find info for the most recent one, which involves some sort of error when trying to take a picture, not accommodating new memory card technology.
Been dealing with this problem myself recently. I bought the sandisk 128gb card before Christmas. It would not take video. I have a d90. I did the firmware update, but it did not make any difference. After some research and contacting Nikon about the compatibility chart being a couple of years old, it seems that (according to the email received by Nikon) this is the most up to date info.
Also, just FYI, both of the new as cards are 80 and 95mb/s. Supposedly the speed doesn't make a difference.
I have a few Sandisks 32GB card working without issue on my D90, but one generic (MicroCenter) 64GB sdxc formated in camera work just for about 10-30 pics and than its stops. Have not try any brand name SDxc card yet.


Jean Eddington-Shipman poses for a photo with (left to right) her husband, Rick Shipman, sister, Sheila Moore, and good friend and Williamston High School counselor, Linda Ereg after accepting her Excellence in Education award from Michigan State University basketball coach Tom Izzo.
An Ingham County educator known for her dedication to helping students develop an appreciation and love for English and literature and for challenging them to set and meet personal goals has been honored with an Excellence in Education award from the Michigan Lottery.
The award winner, Jean Eddington-Shipman, teaches advanced placement English at Williamston High School, which is part of the Williamston Community Schools. She has been an educator for more than four decades.
Each winner also is featured in a news segment on the Lottery's media partner stations: WXYZ-TV in Detroit, FOX 17 in Grand Rapids, and FOX 47 in Lansing. The news segment featuring Eddington- Shipman will air this evening in Grand Rapids and Lansing and then on Thursday in Detroit.
For the Excellence in Education awards program, the Lottery has teamed up with Michigan State University basketball coach Tom Izzo, who recently presented Eddington-Shipman with the award at the Breslin Center.
She said her favorite part of being an educator is "going to graduation and seeing all my current students crossing the stage and marching into their futures and imagining how they will improve the world.
Jean Eddington-Shipman talks with Michigan State University basketball coach, Tom Izzo, after accepting her Excellence in Education award.
"Mrs. Eddington-Shipman creates an encouraging learning environment for all of us, but that does not stop her from setting challenging goals for all of her students," the student wrote, adding that she encourages students to submit work for scholarship competitions as well as various writing competitions.
Eddington-Shipman earned a bachelor of arts and a master of arts degree, both from Michigan State University. She has been an educator for 41 years, the last 37 with the Williamston Community Schools.

PLF fights for North Carolina children
December 31, 2014 | By WENCONG FA
With the new year comes new hopes and new opportunities. Perhaps nowhere is that more true than in North Carolina, where the Legislature recently enacted a new school choice program for low-income students. The Opportunity Scholarship Program allows low-income children to attend private schools of their parents' choice through state-funded scholarships. Unfortunately, the teachers' union has filed suit to prevent these families from having a choice in the district where their children are educated. After the trial court struck down the program as unconstitutional in two cases this August, the North Carolina Supreme Court took the cases for review. Yesterday, PLF filed this amicus brief at the North Carolina Supreme Court defending the Opportunity Scholarship Program and the right of parents to choose the school that is best for their children.
In Richardson v. North Carolina and Hart v. North Carolina, PLF's brief explains that, contrary to plaintiffs' allegations, the scholarship program serves important public purposes. First, the program improves educational outcomes by empowering parents to choose the school that is right for their children. Parents not only know their children best, they know what's best for their children. That's why there are countless studies (here, here, and here) showing that school choice programs lead to better results in education.
Second, the program allows children attending a failing—and often dangerous—school a chance to escape to a safe and successful school. The pass rate in North Carolina schools is bad enough; only 32 percent of students passed the end-of-grade math and reading tests in the 2012-13 school year. That number is even worse for low-income students, who passed at a dismal 17.4 percent. The status quo is unacceptable, and PLF hopes that the North Carolina Supreme Court will uphold the Opportunity Scholarship Program for children across North Carolina. These children deserve the hope and opportunity we all anticipate with a new year.
Many thanks to our local counsel Richard Vinroot and Matthew Tilley of Robinson, Bradshaw and Hinson for their contributions to the brief.

Weaker commodity prices, a deteriorating technical picture and falls in European and US stocks overnight could bring a second day of regional underperformance for Australian investors. Yesterday's higher volumes could see selling return today, although the impending release of non-farm payroll data tomorrow night may stay some investor hands.
A strengthening USD continues to knock commodity prices lower. Oil bears were helped by a greater than expected build in US crude oil inventories. BHP ADRs shed 4% overnight, and gold hovered just above $1300. Pressure on the Materials and Energy sectors may see the Australia 200 Index shed more than the current futures estimate of 19 points.
The Australian reporting season is over for this half year. Although results are slightly better than expected, lower sales and profits are likely to weigh on investor action. After trading an unusually narrow band for the previous three weeks, chartists note the index has broken down through support on elevated trading volumes. Many will interpret this as a sign that the near term outlook for the market is further falls.


Tommy Hilfiger showcased his Spring Summer 2013 Men's collection at The Maritime Hotel, New York on the 7th of September 2012. Present at the event were celebrities like Josh Bowman, Noah Mills, Nathan Adrian, Bryan Adams, Gabe Saporta, Chris Bosh, Adrienne Bosh, and other member of the Hilfiger family.
For the Spring 2013 men's collection, heritage prep is reconsidered with a modern execution and unbuttoned ease inspired by the codes and camaraderie of collegiate sporting clubs. The classics are reinvented with a youthful irreverence that discards the rules and champions a new approach to iconic men's pieces. From the yacht club to the cricket pitch, the new spring uniform embraces a relaxed American attitude.
The brand's hallmark colors – spirited blues, crisp whites and athletic reds – feature prominently in nautical rope print stripes, regatta jackets and regimental details. Hybrid themes play throughout – the breton jersey fused with a classic oxford and a striped leather espadrille sneaker. Unexpected twists bring a lighthearted feel, from the quintessential collegiate blazer done in jersey to the knit tie incorporated onto the front placket of shirts. For unscripted adventures, outerwear is given a rebellious edge with the canvas meets leather moto-trench and suede desert bomber jacket. Distressed chinos and denim are introduced in a nonchalant fit that feels familiar, like well-worn vintage favorites. Gold insignia buttons and varsity crests are paired with bold accents like racing stripes. The rules of the game have changed, but the look is unmistakably American Prep.

Q: VBA - Cant access object inside collection directly; only through "for each" loop I'm exploring the use of getting computer information through VBA and upon that I tried to access a specific item inside the object collection. However, when trying to do so I'm receiving the following error which is absolutely driving me nuts:
Run-time error '-2147217407 (8001001)':
Generic failure`

The code I'm using is as follows:
Sub ProcessorInfo()
    Dim cimv2, PInfo, PItem, var
    Dim PubStrComputer As String
    PubStrComputer = "."
    Set cimv2 = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & PubStrComputer & "\root\cimv2")
    Set PInfo = cimv2.ExecQuery("Select * From Win32_Processor")

    For Each PItem In PInfo
        MsgBox ("Processor: " & PItem.Name & vbCrLf & "Id: " & PItem.ProcessorId)
    Next PItem

    ' Error occurs here: trying to access value directly:
    Debug.Print PInfo(1).Properties_(1).Value

End Sub

I've tried ALOT of possible combinations to access the variable/value but always receiving the error mentioned above.
An example that do not work is:
PInfo(1)("Properties_")(1).value
Question: How do I get the value of a specific variable directly in this setup?
You can find the visual setup of the collection below:

A: Yep, that's odd.
I'd probably just tackle it this way:
target_processor = 1
target_property = 1
this_processor = 0
this_property = 0

For Each PItem In PInfo
    this_processor = this_processor + 1
    For Each prop In PItem.Properties_
        this_property = this_property + 1
        If this_property = target_property And this_processor = target_processor Then
            Debug.Print "Processor: " & PItem.Name & vbCrLf & "Id: " & " " & PItem.ProcessorId & vbCrLf & prop.Name & ": " & prop.Value
        End If
    Next prop
Next PItem

You could extend this method to copy the entire query result into an array if you intend to use multiple replies.

DCEG News Updates
Retrospective on the Informatics Tool Challenge: Driving Innovation and Creativity at DCEG
March 3, 2020 , by Justine E. Yu
The Informatics Tool Challenge has driven innovation and creativity by providing a supplementary funding source for DCEG researchers seeking to create novel tools to enhance data collection, analysis, and other avenues of investigation in the fields of epidemiology and genetics.
Sparking Novel Approaches to Informatics
Innovative research methods are one of the hallmarks of DCEG research. From its inception, researchers have utilized information technologies to advance the fields of epidemiology and genetics in the pursuit of the Division's mission to discover the causes of cancer and the means of prevention—from the generation of cancer maps, to the use of random-digit dialing for study recruitment, to the development of new approaches to big data science. In 2014, then newly appointed Director Stephen J. Chanock, M.D., launched the Informatics Tool Challenge as a competitive funding source for DCEG researchers seeking to create novel tools to enhance data collection, analysis, and other avenues of investigation.
"The challenge has encouraged diverse and creative ideas which continue to push the limits of our modern technological and informatics environment," said Dr. Chanock. "Proposals are evaluated for their novel approach to specific research needs, the ability for the project to be completed within one year of initiation, and cost, not to exceed $20,000. Reviewers consider technical feasibility, utility to epidemiologic and genetic research and alignment with the Division's mission."
The Informatics Tool Challenge provides a unique, supplementary funding source for investigators, staff, and fellows whose ideas are not tied to a specific research study. Multiple collaborations across the NCI and NIH as well as external institutions, have blossomed as a result of the Challenge.
With the seventh call for applications approaching, Dr. Chanock reflected on its evolution, "DCEG is home to some of the world's leading epidemiologists and geneticists who are focused on understanding and characterizing the etiology of cancer. To date, the Informatics Tool Challenge has given 37 awards with applications from all the Division branches. I look forward to continuing to promote a culture of innovation and collaboration across the Division."
The following is a sampling of tools that illustrate the growth and success of the Informatics Tool Challenge.
Study Design and Analysis Tools
LDlink
A web-based tool that interactively explores linkage disequilibrium across population groups from the 1000 Genomes project.
LDpop plots linkage disequilibrium by ancestry or geographic location.
Identifying Alleles Commonly Inherited Together
Many DCEG investigators seek to identify functional disease variants from identified risk loci of genome-wide association studies. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) refers to the non-random association of alleles at different loci in a population. Though several tools were in use to aid the selection of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers for highly correlated regions of LD in the human genome, there was a need to determine alleles commonly inherited together when two SNPs are in high LD. Mitchell Machiela, Sc.D., M.P.H., Earl Stadtman tenure-track investigator in the Integrative Tumor Epidemiology Branch, developed LDlink, a web-based tool which interactively explores LD across population groups from the 1000 Genomes Project.
Milestones of Success
Dr. Machiela submitted the proposal for LDlink during his postdoctoral fellowship; it was one of the first projects to receive funding through the Challenge. In the years following, Dr. Machiela has succeeded in gaining additional funding to improve the tool with postdoctoral fellow Shu-Hong Lin, Ph.D., M.S., at the request of its growing user base. "LDlink was originally intended to be a simple online reference for lab biologists and has surpassed our expectations," said Dr. Machiela.
Currently in its third version, LDlink features new user options which add to the functionality; the SNPclip module filters variants according to a user-defined LD threshold, the LDassoc module enables interactive visualization of LD by uploading GWAS association results and the new LDpop module allows for easy investigation of differences in LD patterns across ancestral populations by utilizing the Google Maps application programming interface. Other functions that add to LDlink's versatility include the ability to link data with external resources such as the UCSC Genome Browser as well as a new API to access LDlink through the command line or in R using the recently developed LDlinkR library. To date, LDlink has been widely used by investigators at the NCI and around the world, accruing over 75,000 users in 146 countries; it has been featured in the AACR Integrative Molecular Epidemiology summer workshop since 2017. LDlink will soon launch a website redesign and a new module, LDtrait, that will allow users to investigate phenotype associations in LD.
National Cancer Institute dosimetry system for Computer Tomography (NCICT)
A web-based calculator that measures the dose of radiation received by patients undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic CT exams.
NCICT uses dose generated from simulations combining a helical x-ray source in CT scanner with state-of-the-art computational human phantoms.
Measuring Radiation Exposure from CT exams
Over the last 30 years, the number of computed tomography (CT) examinations in the U.S. has grown exponentially. Approximately 10 percent of all CT examinations are performed on pediatric patients, who are at a higher risk of radiation-related cancer compared to adults. Ongoing work in the Radiation Epidemiology Branch (REB) focuses on understanding the health risks associated with ionizing radiation exposure. Reliable quantification tools are essential to estimate radiation dose from medical exposures. Choonsik Lee, Ph.D., senior investigator in REB and head of the Dosimetry Unit, created the NCI dosimetry system for Computer Tomography (NCICT) based on Monte Carlo simulations and computational human phantoms to estimate the organ doses received by patients undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic CT exams.
NCICT was originally developed to be a computer program running on a Windows Operating System, which limited widespread use. The Informatics Tool Challenge award allowed Dr. Lee to move the tool to multiple Operating Systems including Mac, Linux, and the web, as well as develop a software release portal, which increased accessibility and awareness about the software. "Since its multi-platform transition, NCICT's usage has expanded to hundreds worldwide and resulted in a licensing agreement with a medical software development company, PACSHealth, and dozens of research publications," said Dr. Lee.
Prevalence Incidence Mixture Models (PIMixture)
A tool that estimates absolute and relative risk for screen-detected cancer and cancer precursors.
Measuring absolute and relative risk
Epidemiologic researchers are beginning to utilize the vast resource of observational data extracted from electronic medical records. While this approach could prove cost-effective and efficient, it may also present challenges for analysis. For instance, in studies of screen-detected disease, prevalent disease is not always immediately diagnosed because people with missing, negative, or borderline screening test results generally do not undergo additional surveillance and testing, such as biopsies. In addition, irregular clinical visits prevent precise timing of disease incidence, resulting in a mixture of truly incident and undiagnosed prevalent disease. Ignoring these complexities may introduce bias that could result in under or over estimates of risk.
Investigators in the Biostatistics Branch (BB), Noorie Hyun, Ph.D., former fellow, Li C. Cheung, Ph.D., staff scientist, and Hormuzd A. Katki, Ph.D., senior investigator, as well as Mark Schiffman, M.D., M.P.H., senior investigator in the Clinical Genetics Branch, created the Prevalence-Incidence Mixture Models (PIMixture) tool to address the need for absolute and relative risk estimation for screen-detected cancer and cancer precursors.
Since its launch, PIMixture has been used to provide evidence for the interim clinical guidelines for primary HPV screening and the basis of risk-based management guidelines for cervical cancer. PIMixture can be scaled easily to support analyses of studies based in integrated healthcare systems, such as the new DCEG cohort, Connect for Cancer Prevention.
Standardized Occupation Coding for Computer-assisted Epidemiologic Research (SOCcer)
A software that codes occupations based on self-reported job descriptions.
Standardizing Occupation Classification Codes
An ongoing challenge in large-scale epidemiological studies is the processing and use of occupational exposure data, which is the first step in identifying work-place exposures that may contribute to cancer risk. Typically study participants provide details in free-text responses to open-ended questions about their job title, employer, and work tasks. Standardizing these job descriptions is a crucial step to identifying occupational-related exposures, but manual coding is time-consuming and expensive.
Melissa Friesen, Ph.D., senior investigator in the Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch, and Daniel E. Russ, Ph.D., formerly of the NIH Center for Information Technology and now a staff scientist in the DCEG Data Science Group, developed Standardized Occupation Coding for Computer-assisted Epidemiologic Research (SOCcer) to help epidemiological researchers incorporate occupational risk into their studies more easily. The publicly available software uses an algorithm to identify, classify, and code occupations based on reported job descriptions, and assigns a score that assesses the probability of the code matching an expert coder's assignment. Evaluation of the algorithm in two case studies found that it reliably replicated manually assigned occupation codes; SOCcer's assignments had overall agreement with expert coders that ranged from 45 percent at the most detailed level of the classification system and 76 percent at a major grouping level. Its agreement with manual coding increased with algorithm score; low scoring job descriptions are more likely to require expert review than high scoring job description. "The application is unique in its ability to code job classification from several components of a job description. Reducing the resources needed to code jobs is a crucial first step in being able to account for the workplace exposures of study participants," said Dr. Friesen.
Funds awarded from the Informatics Tool Challenge in 2015, 2016, and 2017 supported the development of SOCcer 2.0, which enhanced the algorithm by using an expanded training data set and improved the software's ability to assign the correct code by 5 percent. In addition, the companion software SOCAssign, was developed to assist expert coders in reconciling poor computer-based matches by focusing on a subset of job descriptions (i.e. ones that have two codes tied for highest score or that had low scores). Furthermore, the extension "SOCcer in the Field" improved data collection by allowing study participants to code their own job descriptions in a web-based questionnaire.
SOCcer has supported intramural and extramural occupational epidemiological research, including ongoing work in the Early Life Exposures in Agriculture Study, and has encouraged researchers to develop similar coding algorithms for their own classification systems internationally.
COMETS Analytics
A web-based tool that helps streamline and standardize the meta-analysis of data from metabolomics consortia.

Standardizing the Meta-Analysis of Metabolomics Data
Recent advances in metabolomics—the study of small molecule constituents of a biological system—have made it possible to study human physiology and metabolism in unprecedented detail. To take advantage of these advances, intramural and extramural epidemiologists have joined forces to form the COnsortium of METabolomics Studies (COMETS), composed of 65 international prospective cohorts with blood-based metabolomics data and follow-up for disease outcomes. Steven C. Moore, Ph.D., M.P.H., Earl Stadtman tenure-track investigator in the Metabolic Epidemiology Branch, served as the founding Chair of COMETS.
COMETS presents opportunities for epidemiologists but the analysis of consortium data remains complex, with best practices still under development. COMETS Analytics is an online application that streamlines and standardizes the analysis of metabolomics data and facilitates the conduct of large-scale meta-analyses. It was developed as a collaboration between Dr. Moore, researchers from George Washington University and Ohio State University, and was co-funded by the Division of Cancer Control and Populations Sciences. COMETS Analytics standardizes the process of developing data inputs and models, automatically handles modeling issues, and outputs results in a format ready for meta-analysis.
COMETS Analytics has been used to analyze the association of age and body mass index with metabolite levels in 45 different cohort studies that together comprise more than 110,000 research participants. Meta-analyses of these results are underway with publication anticipated over the next year. This large-scale real-world test demonstrated that COMETS Analytics can operate with complex and heterogeneous datasets and performs well under conditions of high processing loads.
Health Information and Risk Assessment Tools
Risk-based NLST Outcomes Tool (RNOT)
A web-based comprehensive lung cancer risk tool that combines multiple risk models to inform researchers of an individual's risk of lung cancer and screening.
Assessing risk for lung cancer screening
In 2011, the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) demonstrated that three annual rounds of computed tomography (CT) lung screening reduced lung cancer death in heavy smokers by 20%. As a result, the US Preventive Services Task Force recommends CT lung screening for smokers age 55-80 who currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years and have a 30 pack-year history of cigarette smoking.
Recent studies by Li C. Cheung, Ph.D., staff scientist and Hormuzd A. Katki, Ph.D., senior investigator, both in BB, and Anil Chaturvedi, Ph.D., senior investigator in the Clinical Epidemiology Unit of the Clinical Genetics Branch, found that both risk-based and life-gained-based strategies may prevent more lung cancer deaths and result in greater gains to life expectancy, compared to current US Preventive Services Task Force guidelines. Using funds from the Informatics Tool Challenge, they created the Risk-based NLST Outcomes Tool (RNOT) for researchers to accurately predict an individual smoker's risk of lung cancer, their risk of mortality from lung cancer, and whether the individual would benefit from lung cancer screening.
RNOT was the first comprehensive lung cancer risk tool to combine multiple risk models to inform researchers of an individual's risk of lung cancer and screening. Currently, Drs. Cheung, Katki, and Chaturvedi are working to incorporate their latest model, Life Years Gained from Screening-CT, which estimates the years of life gained from screening, using funds awarded from the 2019 Challenge. Using the individualized life-years gained strategy is an attractive alternative to the current individualized risk models because it also accounts for a patient's life-expectancy, and thus their overall health, improving the benefit versus harms trade-offs of those referred to screening.
Moles to Melanoma: Recognizing the ABCDE
Annotated photographs of pigmented skin lesions overtime to aid in the recognition of normal moles, dysplastic nevi, and melanoma.
Case series of a dysplastic nevus that changed in ways suspicious for melanoma.
Identifying benign and malignant skin lesions in case series
For over 40 years, Margaret Tucker, M.D., scientist emerita, and collaborators, studied individuals and families enrolled in the NCI Familial Melanoma Study, and documented skin changes. They indexed hundreds of clinical photographs into the online tool, Moles to Melanoma, to create a public resource to help patients, healthcare workers, and the general public, recognize dysplastic nevi, important risk markers and precursor lesions for melanoma, and melanomas arising from dysplastic nevi.
Geoffrey Tobias and Mary Fraser, R.N., M.A., organized and annotated the collection of photographs of individual pigmented lesions, presenting 29 case series documenting changes in these lesions over time and across various mole changes typically seen in individuals from U.S. melanoma-prone families.
Milestones to Success
The Informatics Tool Challenge provided financial support to create the webtool which included a mobile-responsive design and 508-compliant interface. Since its development, the website averages 19,000 unique visitors a year; usage is highest during the summer.

I know nothing official is planned, but I'm planning on at least being there. If nothing else, it's a good screening of several horror movies only available through limited publishing, with their 48-hour independent film fest.
Mara says she knows some of the people who run the show, and that some of them are or used to be with Zombie Squad. That said, there's a small chance we could still have a presence, but that is yet to be determined. When I go, I'll have the mobile table kit packed in my car just in case.
Sounds good. If you are able to/decide to table, just tread lightly. Like you said, it's not an official event. So HQ hasn't approved anything. If Mara knows the people who run it, and we have the interest in officially tabling next year, we can definitely keep it in mind and make it work next year.
Is any one else planning on attending Days of the Dead, even just to enjoy the convention?
I'm working this weekend so I'm not able to attend.
Sorry. Was cooking all weekend.
A friend of mine said he saw some people in ZS shirts at the event. He spoke with you guys and told me about it. He said he will attend an event if he isn't working.
Sorry, was out of town. How'd it go? Worth trying to table at/partner with next year? We'll probably touch on it briefly at the meeting on Saturday.
For the DOTD event I put on a ZS shirt and Mara and I put out about 300 fliers and stickers across about 10 info tables. We asked, and they have a very relaxed flyer policy. One person we talked to said he knew Slugg from this group, which is great. Overall, it was fun to attend. Several "underground" shoe-string budget movies were shown, several with the directors there at the screening to answer questions after the movie. Right in line with how Zombie Squad was founded, watching and critiquing horror movies, this con is fun to attend.


Blog contests are a great way to boost traffic to your blog, but what should you giveaway? Following are 10 blog contest giveaway ideas that will drive interest and entries without emptying your wallet.
Depending on your blog topic, there are probably many types of prizes you can find or buy to give away in a blog contest. Prizes don't have to be big to be interesting to your blog's readers. Of course, while big prizes tend to drive the most buzz and traffic, prizes that are relevant to your blog are likely to be most appreciated by your loyal readers. In fact, prizes that are consistent with your blog topic will draw the attention of new visitors who are more likely to return and subscribe to your blog feed.
Sometimes companies contact bloggers and request product reviews. This is a great time to request a sample to offer as a blog contest prize. Most companies welcome the additional exposure a contest (and the promotion that goes along with it) brings. Furthermore, don't be afraid to reach out to companies that offer products related to your blog topic that your readers would enjoy, and ask for a sample to offer as a blog contest prize. The worst that can happen is the company says no. Be certain to provide blog traffic statistics when you make a sample request to demonstrate what a contest on your blog could mean to the company in terms of promotion.
There are books written about nearly every subject that bloggers write about. Consider offering a book related to your blog's topic for your blog contest prize.
If you have a talent, knowledge or expertise that people would pay for such as blog reviewing, blog design, copywriting, speaking, consulting and so on, offer those services as a blog contest prize. What comes easily to you might be a valuable prize to someone else.
Can you paint, sew, knit, build, or create some other craft or product that people might enjoy winning? If so, offer a custom design or an item you already created as a blog contest prize.
Gift certificates are great blog contest prizes because people love to win money to spend at a popular store. Electronic gift certificates are great for you because you avoid paying shipping charges because the prize can be emailed directly to the winner.
A blog contest with a cash prize is always popular. Consider signing up for PayPal and paying the winner via your PayPal account to avoid paying postage or sending a personal check or money order. If you use PayPal to deliver the prize, be certain to include a disclosure in the original contest post that tells people the prize will be sent via PayPal, and the winner will be responsible for any fees PayPal charges for him or her to receive and accept the prize.
If your blog is popular and generates enough traffic and subscribers to make it attractive to advertisers, offer advertising space as a prize for your blog contest. Other bloggers and website owners are likely to be very interested in winning free advertising.
If you write a popular blog with a decent amount of monthly traffic, you can offer guest posts as a blog contest prize. Consider offering your services to write a guest post on the winner's blog or allow the winner to write a guest post to appear on your blog. Either way, the winner will gain exposure and traffic from the guest post.
Entrecard is a popular social advertising website for bloggers who earn Entrecard Credits to pay for advertising space on other blogs. Consider joining Entrecard (if you're not already a member) and offer the credits you earn as a blog contest prize. Other Entrecard members will be very interested in this type of contest.

Suspected price tag attack in Beit Hanina: "Goyim in the country = enemies" was also sprayed in Hebrew on a bus.
The tires of 34 vehicles in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Hanina were punctured overnight Sunday, and the writing "Goyim in the country = enemies" was sprayed in Hebrew on a bus.
Police opened an investigation into the alleged "price tag" incident.
This is not the first time a "price tag" attack strikes the neighborhood. Last month, the tires of 21 vehicles were slashed. Police has yet to apprehend any perpetrators.
One of the damaged cars.
"We were surprised, this is a quiet area, there are good neighborly relations here," Hossam, one of the residents in the neighborhood, said Monday morning. "We are turning into a second Abu Ghosh because of our great location that draws in Israelis on Saturdays who visit the restaurants. This is a quiet area and someone is trying to hurt the fabric of life here."
Osama, a taxi driver who lives in the neighborhood said, "I got up at 6 am and saw my tires have been punctured. I'm now stuck in the neighborhood and don't know what to do. This is the second time this happens. It's the easiest thing to do it here, this is very annoying."

Had a garden that hadn't grown all week. Finally just trimmed out a bunch of vines and almost immediately grew an armadillo! Haven't seen one of those before. The fauna diversity certainly seems to be increasing.
Dang. Left gardens running all weekend long and nothing changed. Rather odd given how prolifically they've been hitherto growing.
Oddly, I also just got a random Cue-ball head stick out of the ground. Just the top 2/3 or so. Might be a rock that is white/transparent the way the cats are? But it looks like a Cue-ball head.
My Sword Megan just got a little top hat! Previously only saw those on Octopi.

Cool. I just tried trimming a few things too, as I haven't had any growth for quite a while. I'll see if I get anything new!

Just before heading off to college, I had a going away party. Because of the Tuskegee schedule I ended up being among the first of my friends to leave, and I was filled with emotions. I was extremely excited for this new adventure, but the thought of being away from the people I loved the most, brought tears to my eyes at the end of the evening. Few (if any) of my guests had ever seen me cry, and when they all left I was upset that I'd let them see me so vulnerable. I couldn't believe I let them see the tears fall. They must think I'm so weak now. I'm better than that. I'm stronger than that.
You see, for a long time I thought my power was determined by the mighty façade I was able to portray, not realizing the glory of the Lord that's allowed to shine through us in the midst of our infirmities! Yes, we should relish in certain accomplishments, but there's no shame in weakness!
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (AMP) 9 But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!10 So for the sake of Christ, I am well pleased and take pleasure in infirmities, insults, hardships, persecutions, perplexities and distresses; for when I am weak [in human strength], then am I [truly] strong (able, powerful in divine strength).
To prevent pride from interfering with the work God did in him, the Apostle Paul was given a thorn in his flesh to keep him humble. He begged the Lord to cause the thorn to depart, but even amid his brilliant and spirit-led revelations, he was told that Our Savior's grace was sufficient enough for him.
Once upon a time, my pride dictated that tears meant I was "less than" in some way. Even today I like to be portrayed as a strong person, woman, wife and mom, but I'm not lacking anything as long as I have Christ! Regardless of how my flesh is perceived, I want the strength of my Spirit to shine brightly, so that He may continue to be glorified!!
Do you allow the Lord to be magnified in your times of weakness?
It took several events in my life to realize that when I'm at my weakest, God is most powerful. Now, I just let him be my strength is all circumstances and I've never been more happier and at peace. Inspiring post. God bless you always.
I know just what you mean. And you know that you'll continue to repeat the same lesson until you get it, b/c God wants us to learn from our circumstances. This is a strong example of how worldly thinking contradicts God's Word, and being weak where He is strong is a blessed place to be!!

As we like to do Thursday mornings, Exclaim! has picked the best of the bunch when it comes to checking out live music across Canada this weekend. Here are our picks for your best concert bets in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal.
After releasing a Christmas-themed compilation for the second year in a row, it only makes sense that Light Organ Records will be celebrating the holiday season with a Christmas party in their hometown of Vancouver. Bust out your ugliest Christmas sweater and spike the eggnog, because with a bill that includes Sun Wizard, Fine Times, Adrian Glynn, Louise Burns and DJ Trevor Risk, this is a festive celebration you won't want to miss.
San Francisco's Papercuts will be taking their live show to Canada's West Coast this weekend, having released Fading Parade earlier this year. Primarily the project of Jason Quever, Papercuts' sombre brand of indie pop is sure to delight the audience, even if it makes them all sad-faced in the process. Tim Cohen's Magic Trick (yes, as in the main dude from Fresh & Onlys) will open the show.
Experimental electronic artist Baths may only be 22, but he's been toying around with music since he was a kid. His acclaimed debut album under his Baths moniker came out in 2010 and was followed by this year's Pop Music/False B-Sides. Catch the California musician at the Electric Owl on Saturday night, alongside BC native Teen Daze and Morgan Greenwood.
Wu-Tang Clan alumnus Ghostface Killah is currently in the midst of a Canadian tour and is set to take on the Prairies this week, with a Thursday evening stop in Calgary. Toronto's Peter Jackson will be opening, and sets from Sheek Louch and Killah Priest will also be featured. Hip-hop fans will definitely want to check this one out.
Massachusetts metalcore band Unearth released their fifth studio album this year, July's Darkness in the Light, while Cleveland, OH heavy metal group Chimaira put out The Age of Hell in January. Still promoting the recent releases, the co-headlining bands will be playing with Athens, GA thrash metalers Skeletonwitch and deathcore outfit Molotov Solution, making this a must-see for metal fans in Calgary.
Critical darlings the National are still touring on the power of 2010's High Violet and will be playing their biggest Toronto show to date at the Air Canada Centre. It's hard to imagine anyone would need convincing to go check this performance out, but sets from Neko Case and Wye Oak will definitely sweeten the deal. Catch this killer lineup on Thursday night.
In the last couple months, Montreal musician Mark Sultan has released a pair of LPs, Whatever I Want and Whenever I Want, in addition to a freebie record entitled The War on Rock'n'Roll. Obviously, there won't be any shortage of new material for him to play to audiences in Toronto this weekend.
Alt-country poster boy Ryan Adams will be enchanting crowds at the Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto on Saturday evening. He recently released Ashes & Fire, but will surely be playing favourites from his prolific back catalogue too. Ohio-born country-tinged singer Jessica Lea Mayfield will play an opening set.
Ontario-born musician Sarah Slean is currently on the road for her latest record, this fall's Land & Sea, and will be bringing her piano-heavy pop music to Montreal on Thursday night. Sure to impress the crowd with her seasoned live show, you would be wise to check this show out.
After their stint in Toronto, the National will be performing for the masses at the Bell Centre. Neko Case and Wye Oak will be on the bill in Montreal too, definitely making this lineup one of the highlights of the week.
Canadian hip-hopper K-os is expected to release a new album next year, following up 2009's Yes! To hold fans over until the new year, catch K-os performing live in Montreal on Saturday night. Dirty Mags are sure to deliver a set of noisy garage rock to rile up the crowd before K-os takes to the stage to play old favourites and maybe even some new material from his forthcoming record.

Despite gender pay gap reporting being in its second year, 21% of people say their company struggled to file the mandatory report, due last Friday.
An MHR Analytics Twitter poll of 1000 people aged 25 to 54 revealed a further 38% are still unclear about their organisation's gender pay gap reporting.
Employers of more than 250 people had until midnight on 5 April to file pay comparison data, with BBC reports showing hundreds of firms did so in the last 36 hours before the deadline.
With the addition of ethnicity pay gap reporting on the horizon, the compliance burden is growing for companies without adequate reporting tools in place, says Laura Timms, product strategy manager at MHR Analytics.
"This legislation can be a significant drain on time and resources, particularly when added to all the other compliance obligations for HR, payroll and finance teams," says Timms.

The Trend Continues
By John Fontana@Johnny_Fonts Oct 26, 2005, 10:04pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: The Trend Continues
Up until June 7th, 2004 the Lightning had failed to put together back-to-back wins... It had been win-loss-win-loss during the Lightning / Flyers Eastern Conference final and during the Stanley Cup Championship versus the Calgary Flames.
That trend has continued even with a years hiatus of the NHL... The Lightning, coming off a back-to-earth loss to the Ottawa Senators last week at the St. Petersburg Times Forum, put up four unanswered goals in the 3rd period to lay waste to the New Jersey Devils in East Rutherford tonight. Dave Andreychuk decided to remind people he is not retired yet and notched two goals as part of the four-goal 3rd period spark.
Brad Richards notched three assists as the Modin - Richards - St. Louis line generated the Bolts first two goals (the first of which came 34 seconds into the game by Martin St. Louis).
It still wasn't the dominating performance that one would expect form the bolts and Defense still looked questionable. That's going to be an issue that will continue to dog the Lightning during the season - the question is how long?

Movie Review: 'The Kings of Summer' Starring Nick Robinson, Gabriel Basso, Moises Arias
Posted: June 6, 2013 at 11:07 pm / by justin / comments (0)
tags: Alison Brie, Coming of Age Movies, Gabriel Basso, Jordan Vogt-Roberts, Kings of Summer Review, Megan Mullally, Moises Arias, Nick Offerman, Nick Robinson, The Kings of Summer
Every decade gets its coming of age movies. When we think of movies that have stuck with us, films like Stand by Me, The Goonies and The Sandlot come to mind. However, there is a sort of renaissance of these coming of age movies over the past few years. Films like 50 Days of Summer, Perks of Being a Wallflower, and Moonrise Kingdom are giving refreshing perspectives to audiences. Kings of Summer is one of these films to address the coming of age story in a way most teens and adults can relate to. As I sat in the audience, I looked around and saw kids younger and couples considerably older. It says a lot about a film that's able to capture such a diverse crowd, especially considering the nature of the humor. There was a sweet old lady sitting behind me who was laughing at things the teenagers in the front row were. She even went into film geek mode and started talking about her favorite parts to those around her; that makes me smile, humor is a universal language.
Kings of Summer is the feature film directorial debut of Jordan Vogt-Roberts. Vogt-Roberts' previous works include direction of the TV shows, Death Valley, Mash Up, Single Dads, and Funny or Die Presents. What Vogt-Roberts and first time feature film writer Chris Galletta have put together is a mesmerizing tale of 3 friends and their desire to be in control of their own destiny, to give the middle finger to the card the world has dealt them.
The movie begins by introducing us to Joe who is played by the talented Nick Robinson. Joe lives with his dad Frank, played by Parks and Recreation star Nick Offerman. As the movie unfolds we learn that Joe is dealing with the loss of his mother and trying to cope with handling his father – who is struggling raising his son alone – who he doesn't seem to connect to or understand. This is a refreshing role for Offerman. We usually see him in purely comedic roles and it's nice to see the actor prove to us that he shouldn't be type casted. It becomes increasingly apparent Joe was closer with his mother by the way he interacts with his sister, played by Community's Alison Bre. Joe's best friend Patrick, portrayed by Gabriel Brasso is the victim of a less traumatic but equally heavy burden – overbearing parents. The third friend, the highly loveable and strange Biaggio, played by Moises Arias, seems to be an outcast who arrives in the film in almost stealthy fashion and turns out to easily be one of the best parts of the film.
The story revolves the group and their desire to escape, to find a way to flee the monotony that has become of their lives. Joe convinces Patrick – Biaggio kind of just tags along – to help him build a genuine haphazard house in the middle of the woods; a place where they can be their own boss, free of their parents. The house is put together through odd ends and parts salvaged; it looks exactly what you'd expect a house built by teenagers to look like – the fact that it doesn't leak during a rain scene is questionable (if 16 year-old me built it, it definitely would have leaks). With the house built the group sets out enjoying the wilderness, learning to live off the land – by hunting wild chickens with swords – and passing time by drinking beer and making music. Being teenagers, however, something is missing for them; as Joe says, "the touch of a woman."
Joe's love interest is Kelly, played by Erin Moriarty. She joins the boys at the retreat with a few of her friends, one particularly takes interest in Biaggio and his reactions are priceless. At this point Joe is on cloud nine. He has his friends, freedom, and girl of his dreams. Joe's hopeful, he expects to finally connect with Kelly. But as with most things in life, things don't go as planned and Joe ends up feeling betrayed by Patrick and chooses to isolate himself from the group. This is where the film really surprised me. Up until this point we're given a very different film that hinted at its potential. It's at this point we find the film taking a much more serious turn into the mind of a teenager who feels the world has betrayed him. It's not till we're near the end when Joe has an encounter with a deadly forest animal – most certainly a symbolism for his troubles – are we treated to the portion of the film that allows us to truly connect with Joe's feelings.
The movie is beautifully shot, thanks to cinematographer Ross Riege who comes from the same camp as Vogt-Roberts. We're treated to a gorgeous and artistic view of the world and some jarring and unexpected slow motion scenes. The music blends well with the overall atmosphere of the film. In fact, the soundtrack is downright amazing. One scene involving the boys making music with sticks stuck with me. Immediately after the film, I bought the soundtrack online to listen on my way home. I rarely do that. Dry humor is the driving force behind this film. Things like Biaggio's demeanor, Patrick's odd and loveable parents, and Frank's sarcastic outlook give this film its character.
All in all, I went in not sure what to expect and I left feeling refreshed. I highly recommend going with family and friends, everyone will find something to relate to in this film. This is in every sense of the term a 'summer movie.' It provides unique laughs, beautiful scenes, love and loss, and never takes the audience's intelligence for granted. This was a great way to start the summer movie kickoff.

LEO Commercialization (Orbital Space Economy):
The Pathway to Earth's Trillion Dollar Space Economy
NSS Webinar Wednesday, September 30, 1:00 p.m. ET
Washington, DC | Posted on September 29th, 2020
Lynn Harper, Lead, Integrative Studies, Space Portal at NASA Ames Research Center,
Alex MacDonald, Chief Economist at NASA,
Mike Lewis, Chief Innovation Officer at NanoRacks,
Cindy Martin-Brennan, Director, Strategic Engagement and External Affairs at Space Tango,
Rich Boling, Vice President of Techshot, Inc.,
Elena Bulanova, Head of Cell Technologies of 3-D Bioprinting Solutions,
Andrew Rush, COO of Redwire Space, President of Made In Space, Inc.
Moderated by Bruce Pittman, Chief System Engineer at NASA Space Portal and NSS Senior Vice President.
Today's global $350 billion space economy will soon bloom into a trillion-dollar economy. Join the National Space Society for the virtual webinar LEO Commercialization: The Pathway to Earth's Trillion Dollar Space Economy on September 30 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time (10 a.m. Pacific), as we present a group of thought leaders who will engage in a 90-minute discussion of what it will take to get us to that first trillion dollars in low Earth orbit.
Topics include government policy and funding to support emerging space industries, near-term profitable space manufacturing, medical and technological products, and much more.
Research and development platforms, both government and commercial, are needed in space. Some will be attached to the International Space Station, while others will be free flyers in various orbits around the Earth. The space ecosystem will soon be full of multiple providers and a world-wide customer base, resulting in an economically thriving low Earth orbit marketplace, eventually extending into cislunar space and beyond. But this bright future will require intelligent legislation and strong financial support to succeed—and this discussion will outline the path ahead.
Join us on September 30 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time (10 a.m. Pacific) for a presentation about our exciting future in space and the steps we need to make it a reality. This extraordinary event will be simulcast by e360tv.com over Facebook, YouTube, Roku, Amazon Fire, and other streaming media. Be sure to mark your calendars—you don't want to miss this!
This presentation can be viewed on e360tv.com on the web or via the e360 channel on your set-top device (Roku, Fire, etc.); on the NSS Facebook page, and on the NSS YouTube channel.
