3 Innovators Leading the Next Breakthroughs in Technology
Up and coming companies must have aspiring leaders to expand the market for new innovations. These leaders take the common phrase "thinking outside the box" to a whole new dimension. They have the vision to dream of new avenues expanding to new markets and the discipline to make it happen.
Three company leaders that are shaking up their market space are Mary Spio, CEO and Founder of Next Galaxy (NXGA); Felicia Hess, CEO and Director of Drone Aviation (DRNE); and Christopher Missling, Chief Executive Officer of Anavex Life Sciences (AVXL). Each of these leaders has gained an edge over the competition through innovative ideas, bringing on strong talent and building strategic relationships that are hallmarks of growing a successful business.
Next Galaxy Corp. (NXGA) & Richline, a Subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway: Taking Virtual Reality in a Unique Direction
While working at Boeing (BA), Mary Spio headed development of technology that led the way for digital distribution of major motion pictures. Partnering with Lucas Films and 20th Century Fox, she patented technology that has become main stream in the film industry. She now holds four patents for her innovations.
Her most recent project is Next Galaxy Corp., as both founder and President, building content for virtual reality technology. Much like her prior endeavors, Spio has quickly ascended to the head of the field by not chasing others today, but seeing where things are going to be in the future and charting her course there. She has strategic partnerships with Eon Reality, Miami Children's Hospital and Richline, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B). These partnerships are promising to take virtual reality to a whole new level. Currently the space is mostly dedicated to gaming, yet Spio's vision is to create software that incorporates VR technology for education, marketing, social media communities and much more beyond gaming. The company has also addressed audio for virtual reality environments with "Ceekars," a 4D audio headphone and controller set.
Her partnership with Miami Children's Hospital will deliver educational training to both staff and patients, beginning with CPR and other lifesaving skills through a VR interface. The Richline agreement taps into the eCommerce space, with Next Galaxy creating a virtual reality experience to showcase Richline's wearable jewelry collection at the JCK Show in Las Vegas. Spio and Next Galaxy have also partnered with elite sports figures and the entertainment industry to create content that will transport VR users to the owner's box of sports arenas and the front row at concerts.
Strategic Partnerships to Expand Drone Use (Drone Aviation Holding Corp: DRNE)
Felicia Hess, CEO and Director of Drone Aviation, has built partnerships giving this new company a major edge in this expanding market. Most recently, she completed a partnership with CNN, in conjunction with Federal Aviation Administration Pathfinder program, for drone usage on CNN's news vans. This will enable the company to gain aerial 360 views of events and news as it is happening. As this video shows, the tethered drone has the ability to fly indefinitely, creating an opportunity to deliver footage for current news and even natural disasters in a never-seen-before fashion. Drone Aviation has centered their focus on tethered drones which is currently is within the FAA guidelines. This speeds the ability to produce new products for the military, law enforcement and corporations.
In addition to landing the CNN partnership she has also captured the attention of billionaire Dr. Phillip Frost. He is one of the lead investors in the company and is serving as Chairman of the Strategic Advisory Board. He has a long history of innovation as Chairman and CEO of OPKO Health (OPKO), Chairman of TEVA Pharmaceuticals (TEVA), former director at Northrop Grumman (NOC) and many more. Dr. Frost bringing his expertise to the table at Drone Aviation is a big vote of confidence for investors and helping to expand the company.
New Approach to Alzheimer's Disease: (Anavex Life Sciences: AVXL)
Dr. Christopher Missling is the CEO and President of Anavex. The biotech company is developing interesting and novel compounds to treat Alzheimer's disease, CNS diseases and conditions that are of significant unmet medical need. Two decades of health care experience, a MS and PhD from the University of Munich in Chemistry and an MBA from Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management underscore Dr. Missling's science and business acumen.
Missling has amassed a rich pipeline at Anavex, advancing two drug candidates to mid-stage trials. The company is hoping to reduce development risk with its lead drug candidate, Anavex Plus, for Alzheimer's because it combines Anavex 2-73 with donepezil. Anavex Plus is unique in targeting multiple AD pathways simultaneously at different levels of the disease stage. The company believes Anavex Plus could have commercial appeal due to donepezil, the world's best selling Alzheimer's drug marketed by Japan's Eisai (ESALY) and Pfizer (PFE) as Aricept®, losing patent protection in 2010. Dr. Missling's resume includes serving as CFO of Curis (CRIS) and CFO at Immunogen (IMGN). He also was in charge of financial planning on all aspects of financial strategy and M&A during his time at Aventis, which eventually became part of what is now Sanofi (SNY) subsequent to a $64 billion merger in 2004.
Durable Alzheimer's treatments have eluded drug makers for years. The value of an effective therapy was evidenced in the massive initial public offering last week of Axovant Sciences Ltd (AXON), a company with no marketed products, but a heralded Alzheimer's drug ready to enter a Phase 3 trial.
In today's environment, successful companies must be able to quickly adapt to changing markets and new technology. These industry leaders have been able to create promising businesses that are capitalizing on new technology, positioning their companies as forerunners in their perspective markets. This should lead to exponential growth, making them companies to watch.

Chinese Traditional Wrestling (Shuai Jiao) Week 2 in Review
I just finished my first two-week intensive training in Chinese traditional wrestling, in Beijing, and am headed back to Shanghai. In my second week of wrestling, I completed 12 training sessions. My final day was comprised of two hours strength, conditioning and basics, in the morning and about two and a half hours wrestling in the afternoon. I literally have no idea how many rounds I wrestled. But traditional wrestling rounds are short. You wrestle till someone gets the takedown. Most rounds tend to last about a minute or two, or even less. They kept changing the opponent every three or four rounds, by the end, I was completely exhausted. Every day, week, my schedule included strength training in the mornings. Then, I either did strength training again in the afternoon, or four days a week, the old Sifus would come watch us do competitive sparring. There was a lot of pressure to perform in those sparring matches, because the Sifus were watching and would clap if you had a good win and occasionally, get up and beat you with a wrestling belt if you did something stupid.
I did a lot of stupid stuff and got beat with a belt. "Thank you, Da Ye, may I have another?"
In the first several days of sparring, I relied largely on freestyle wrestling techniques I had learned in MMA, such as body lock, double underhooks, grabbing one or both of the opponent's legs, taking neck or back control… On the final day, I forced myself to grab the opponent's jacket, instead of using my body locking and head grabbing. Next, I used a lot of the new techniques from both traditional wrestling and Shaolin Temple San Da grappling. In one of the bouts, the opponent tried to defend the take down by wrapping his foot around the inside of my thigh, something I learned in Shaolin San Da, as a takedown defense. Because of the Shaolin training, I knew how to simply step around his locked foot and complete the throw. Another time, when I had done a leg-pick, but couldn't get the opponent down, I trapped his leg between my thighs and rotated my body, till he fell. In Shaolin Chin Na training, I learned two throws from the headlock position. I never thought that would come up, but in traditional wrestling, my opponent grabbed my belt, at the small of my back, and I suddenly found myself in almost the same position as I would be in a headlock throw. I simply pressed down on his closest knee and he went flying, face first, into the mat.
Thanks, Shaolin Temple, for teaching me these surprisingly useful skills!
I am confident that many of these techniques will eventually transfer over to MMA. But, I have to continue practicing the basic exercises for several more months, so I will have the basic strength, flexibility, and balance to do the techniques correctly. After that, I want to experiment, doing them on an unwilling opponent, who is not wearing a wrestling jacket.
I am so sold on the basic exercises that when my training brothers try to teach me a new throw, I refuse to learn it, till AFTER I have learned the accompanying exercise. And if I can't do the exercise correctly, I tell them to wait a few weeks before teaching me the throw.
With this Chinese wrestling, I don't even want to guess at how to use a technique till after I have practiced the associated exercise a million times. I saw it when. I wrestled my Se Ge, older brother, for the first time. He has been with Sifu for countless years and is one year older than me, so I have to pay him respect. In the first round, when he swept me, I felt the incredible strength of his legs from years of doing the basic exercises. His legs were like rigid, iron poles, with no give to them. Legs that powerful can sweep you down or lift you up in the air, no matter how much you resist.
There is zero doubt that I am infinitely stronger than Se Ge, and also in better condition for any other form of wrestling. BUT, if we talk about the exact strength necessary to do those exact techniques, he is incredibly powerful and my strength is laughable.
In the second round, however, I leaned on him, held him, mauled him, and wore him down. Several of my training brothers had worked with me on jacket grabbing techniques that approximated body locks that I am used to, so I could just lean all my weight on the opponent, and break him down. All of these guys smoke and drink, don't run or cross train, and ONLY have strength for the exact movements they practice. Also, I am the only one who trains twice a day, every day. I wore him down, then swept him. He hit the canvass hard and didn't get up for a long time. Once again, poor conditioning made him take the sweep a lot worse than if he were in shape. He looked like he needed a paramedic, and didn't train for the rest of the day.
Although Se Ge has good technique and is strong in the specific muscle groups, he never completes a day's training. He usually wrestles a few rounds, wins, and then goes out for a smoke. This is another point I have about the Chinese athletes. I am in my late forties and training to compete. If I stick with the training, I am sure I could be a good competitor. For the Chinese guys, although they keep the technique and strength, even into their sixties and seventies, they are so unfit, they don't normally compete or train.
The techniques of Chinese traditional wrestling are wonderful, and I want to learn them. That being said, I don't know why these guys refuse to be healthy and strong, or why that wouldn't be a benefit for them.
After I wrestled Se Ge, they put in young guy, after young guy, round after round. Eventually, I was too tired to even defend myself anymore. I lost both of the final two rounds of sparring quickly and in the most humiliating fashion. But I know from MMA training, those final rounds of wrestling are the most important. That's why in MMA, we always exhaust ourselves before starting sparring.
Now, I will train basics, alone, in Shanghai for a week and then return to Beijing to continue.

What is Chinese Traditional Wrestling (Shuai Jiao)
In Uncategorized on August 24, 2013 at 12:24 pm
After two weeks of living in the traditional wrestling school in Beijing, studying full time, this is my take on what is Chinese wrestling. Obviously, over the next three years of my study and exploration of China's ethnic wrestling forms, my opinions about and understanding of the arts will hopefully become deeper. But here is a quick intro for the folks at home
Chinese wrestling is a competition to throw the opponent to the floor. If you throw him and remain standing, you get 2 points. If you throw him and land on him, you get 1 point. Each fight has five rounds. And the winner is the one with the highest score at the end. The wrestlers wear padded jackets and much of the style is based on the basic techniques of grabbing and pulling the jacket. The thing I find really interesting about the throwing, however, is that, unlike judo or modern wrestling, the throws are largely not done by using upper body strength, but by very unique sweeping techniques. By modifying the grip from jacket to head, shoulder or triceps, many of the throws could be used in MMA. The reason why I believe this training will help me for MMA is that these throws and the throwing mechanisms are things not normally seen in MMA. Fighters are not trained to anticipate them or to counter them.
As far as I can understand, it is legal to grab the legs, but not so common. It also seems to be uncommon to lift the opponent of the ground and throw him. When I spar, I often use these two methods, which the Chinese wrestlers don't expect. But I am trying to force myself to learn and use the proper techniques.
The strength and flexibility for the throws comes from doing a series of exercises, countless thousands of times, each day. I see that some of these exercises are the same as top judo players use. One of my tertiary goals this year, once school starts, is to begin learning judo. So, I hope these exercises will help me prepare.
Brooklyn Monk, Antonio Graceffo is a martial arts and adventure author living in Asia. He is the author of the books, "Warrior Odyssey' and "The Monk from Brooklyn." He is also the host of the web TV show, "Martial Arts Odyssey," which traces his ongoing journey through Asia, learning martial arts in various countries. He is also a mixed martial arts fighter who often seeks to find ancient or ethnic martial arts which could lend techniques to modern MMA. Graceffo works as a university lecturer in Shanghai, where he is writing a doctoral dissertation on forms of ethnic wrestling in China.
I'm No Hemingway
Excerpt from my upcoming memoirs, "I'm No Hemingway". "After drinking such an incredible quantity of other people's liquor, a normal man would be unable to stand. But I stood, as my father had taught me, in the center of the horse track on race day, not caring if she looked at me or just drank more gin with Scott and Zelda. The old Indian, who carried my gun on hunting safari, spoke to me about fishing, in Spanish. But all of this, like women, was a mere distractions. The important thing was to be a man, a man's-man's man. And to this end I was holding a sword fish, while waiting my turn to step into the boxing ring."
I believe I may have read too much Hemingway, also, most of this never happened to me.
Martial Arts Odyssey: Bokator MMA Academy
In 2013 the young fighters from the Bokator club in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, took Bokator to a new level, changing their name and title to Bokator MMA. Now, the fighters utilize a combination of traditional Bokator stand up techniques and modern jiujitsu and wrestling to fight professionally in both Bokator fights and MMA fights. Under the leadership of Bokator Kru Darith and MMA coach Chan Reach, Bokator has reached the 21st Century.

Reaction to The Four Million Dollar Teacher
In Uncategorized on August 6, 2013 at 2:41 pm
"The $4 Million Teacher" is a great article that a friend shared with me about an innovative Hagwon teacher in Korea, who apparently makes 4 Million USD a year. Hagwans are the evening schools which Korean kids go to, sometimes until midnight, studying everything from math to English. Korea now has significantly passed the US in terms of literacy and university achievement. BUT please don't let that statistic trick you into believing Korean schools are better. The kids are learning all of this stuff in hagwans and they typically attend hackwans from 3:00 or 4:00 PM till late evening five days a week, a full day on Saturday and sometimes half day on Sunday. Plus they have home teachers. So no, Korean education isn't necessarily better, the kids just spend a lot more time studying and this is all private, paid for by parents, not the government. When I worked in a hackwan in Busan I asked my co-worker, if Korean schools are so good, why can't they prepare the kids for the national exams?
The human cost of the Hackwan is that the Korean kids simply don't have a childhood. The hackwans all run buses which pick the kids up at school and take them to the next hackwan. They shuffle back and forth like this, generally eating two or three meals a day outside the home. When they finally get home at 10:00 or 11:00 PM they have to do their school homework. My third and fourth grade students were telling me that they slept as little as five hours per night.
As for whether or not you should run to Korea to make money, the most money I have ever heard of a foreigner making in hackwans or private tutoring in Korea is $5,000 USD a month and the teacher in question was absolutely killing himself with hours of work, prep and travel. The highest paid teachers I have ever known in Korea and in Taiwan, which has a similar system called bushiban, were all local. They would teach exam prep in huge auditoriums and receive a salary based on the number of attendees. A very popular teacher could earn in a single Saturday what a foreign teacher earns for a month.
While the internet and particularly youtube is full of foreign teachers trying to make a name for themselves, I honestly don't know if any of these are actually making money or if a Korean employer would even be interested in hearing your ideas for a new and innovative teaching method. What I saw in the many schools I worked at in Taiwan and, admittedly, only one in Korea, the schools had a method or a curriculum. They simply needed a white monkey to deliver the lesson, make the kids laugh, and not cause problems. And if you did that, you received your salary.
Dulling the Cutting Edge: Elmo Wants to Tickle You
When Mr. Hooper, one of the four or so, original human cast of Sesame Street, died, they actually included the death in an episode, to help children learn about and cope with people dying. He had a heart attack and his sphincter released, but I can't remember if they showed that in the episode.
When Hurricane Katrina ravaged much of the US coast, Sesame Street did an episode where Big Bird's nest got destroyed in a storm. It was another daring move and one that many critics and parents appreciated.
In the South African version of Sesame Street, they have "Kami is a furry yellow five-year-old HIV–positive girl muppet orphaned by AIDS who always has the sniffles." As daring as that was, a friend of mine pointed out, "If they really wanted to be cutting edge, they would say how she got HIV.
Recently, the voice of Elmo was accused of befriending children on the internet, sending a limo to their home and then having sex with them. I think that would make a very disturbing Sesame episode, especially with that Elmo voice, saying "Come play with me."

Wearing my Bones around Your Neck
In Uncategorized on August 2, 2013 at 11:53 pm
As of May 19, 2014, Fred Schroeder, a pilot from Shenzhen has agreed to fight me, but then pulled out 14 times. His latest pullout took less than four minutes. I guess with all that practice he got better at it. He talks big, though, telling me all the horrible things he will do to me after "Your laying their all bloody". He even said he would pee on me, which I found very disturbing. But easily, the most idiotic thing he has said was:
"After I beat Antonio Graceffo, I am going to wear his bones around my neck." Grandpa Fred Schroeder
I'm a little vague on this whole, beating me and wearing my bones around your neck thing. So, let's break it down and walk through the steps. First, I assume you have to kill me in the ring for this to work. So, picture the fight night. I am dead, laying on the canvass. You receive your trophy, take some obligatory photos with the ring girls, and then, I guess, you lift my dead corpse onto your shoulder and carry it back to your dressing room. You prop me up against the wall, while you shower and change clothes. Then, you carry my body, which weighs 90kgs (remember you called me fat ass), out to the street and you hail a taxi. The taxi driver doesn't notice or doesn't care that you are transporting a dead body, and he brings you back to your hotel.
Next, you're always bragging about how much richer you are than me, so I imagine this is a pretty nice hotel, the kind that doesn't normally allow guests to carry corpses up to their rooms. So, you bribe the hotel manager, or make up a story about me being drunk, and you carry me into the lobby. Remember too, that when people die, their bowels release. So, you would be lugging this extremely heavy, dead body, which is leaking urine, poop, sweat and probably blood. But maybe you like that.
Do you just hoist me over a shoulder and get on the elevator or do you pay the bellhop to carry my body on one of those wheely carts? Up to you.
Finally, you get me back to the room and begin extracting my bones. Did you remember to bring your equipment and chemicals with you? Or, did you leave them in Shenzhen? If you left them, then you have to somehow get me onto an airplane, which would probably entail buying a ticket, or dismembering my corpse with a fire axe in the hotel, in which case, you can kiss your damage deposit goodbye.
Even if you were willing to endure these many, and often disgusting, steps given my bodyweight and the more than 30 years I spent training for fights, I would have to believe my bone density is much higher than that of other people and my bones would be extremely heavy and uncomfortable to wear around your neck.
After reviewing the steps, I can only surmise that you haven't thought this one through. So, I am assuming this was more hot air on your part. Of course, if we go back to the beginning of this analysis, it is all predicated on you winning the fight. In order to win, you would have to show up. And I seriously doubt you will even get that far.

This past weekend was full of activities. Some productive, some not. The activities that were not, were Mark and I watching 4 episodes in a row of season two of Homeland, followed by 6 episodes Sunday, just so we could catch up in time to see the newest episode that night. We started late in the game and I think it's safe to say we're officially addicted to that dang series. I had dreams about it Sunday night and am at a loss of what we're going to do once the season is over (in less than two short weeks!) I have a love/hate relationship with shows like Homeland. We get too involved. Obsessed even.
The same affliction happened with Lost. And then True Blood happened. Then Game of Thrones got us hooked. And now we're Homeland addicts. What happened to us? I've heard Walking Dead, Mad Men and Board Walk Empire have the same effect on people. That's why I'm staying far far away from those shows. I just can't deal.
Now onto the part where I was actually productive this past weekend. We cleaned and organized our house, went for long walks, frolicked at the park, wrapped gifts, decorated a bit and I baked. Baked and baked and baked. This little spicy bread number is close to being an obsession, just like Homeland.
Truth be told with all of this holiday baking going on, I see more gym activity in my near future and not so much television watching. I'm talking to you too, Real Housewives.
Truth be told with all of this holiday baking going on, I see more gym activity in my near future and not so much television watching. I'm talking to you too, Real Housewives!
But this cake truly is a beauty, with an especially moist crumb and intense spice flavor that fills your house with a wonderful smell.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream sugar, oil, molasses and applesauce together. Add egg and mix until well incorporated. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, sift the remaining dry ingredients together: flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt and baking soda. Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Pour hot water in and mix until incorporated.
Pour into a lightly greased 8×8 baking pan (or equivalent) and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until tooth pick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool before dusting with powdered sugar.
Serve on its own or with a dollop of freshly whipped cream.

Looks divine! That just be what I need today to get rid of these sniffles!
I never have enough of anything with molasses and spices. Thanks for the recipe!

Sentence strips have so many good classroom uses that go beyond simply practicing handwriting and beginning sentences. I use sentence strips in my classroom to create timelines. The paper Sentence Strips are a great length and width, and they already have a straight line printed on them.
One type of timeline we complete shows the years the various explorers reached the New World. Our textbook organizes the explorers by country, so students read about Marco Polo (Italy) first. Then, move over to Portugal, followed by lots of Spanish guys, and end with England, France, and the Netherlands. The format of the book makes it seem like Spain did all of this conquering and then other people sailed across the Atlantic and explored the northeast coast of North America and Canada last. I had my students create an explorer timeline, so we could see that after Marco Polo's great journey, the explorers of the Americas were actually all sailing and conquering at about the same time.
Another type of timeline we made showed the span of events in a story. A few books we read take place over a short amount of time with a lot of action built in. In the sample above, students used clues in the novel, Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl, to identify the exact time from the beginning of the story to the great pheasant hunt party at the end. It is nice for the students to visualize how quickly or slowly characters are solving a problem.
Story timelines are also a great tool when a story has a flashback element or the narrative order is different than the time order. The students can see the actual time of events and compare it to their reading. The Odyssey is a great example of a story that is told out of time order (in medias res), and it is easy to confuse the reader. I used the sentence strip timeline with 9th graders to summarize key events in time order of The Odyssey, and it was really helpful.
Gather your information in notes or a chart like this EXPLORER TIMELINE NOTES PAGE. Identify the first date and the last date that will appear on the timeline. Determine the time span and then add a few years before the first date and after the last date, so there will be space at the beginning and end of the timeline.
The sentence strips are 24″ in length. The next step is to determine the increments of time along the strip. This is the part that can confuse kids. Their first reaction is to list each event in order on evenly spaced lines, but the point of a timeline is to show how close or far apart events happened from each other. Your group will need to add, subtract, divide, and measure to determine the spacing and increments of time on your timeline. Creating the spacing on the timeline is great measuring and counting practice.
If you note that there is a break in activity for many years, you can jump over years using a dividing line. Create a "broken timeline" by drawing a wavy line indicating a jump over years. In the image below, you can see a break near the beginning and end of the strips where we had a span of years with no events. It allowed more space in the middle years to add information we needed.
The finished timelines give a great overview of a topic in history or key events in a story. It allows students to make generalizations about a topic and synthesize several pieces of information as well as incorporate math skills. Students need more practice reading charts, tables, and graphs, so they can draw conclusions about any data presented. When students are reviewing big chunks of information at the end of a unit of study, have them create a chart or table of some kind to help visualize similarities, differences, and recall big ideas.
I love sentence strips too. We make sentence starter tents by folding them the long way so they can stand up like a tent. One one side a sentence starter for partner A and the other side a sentence starter for partner B. I will have to give your timeline idea a try – such a great one!
I like the idea of folding, so it stands. I have also folded the strip down into a booklet. The sentence strips are such a great tool for upper elementary classrooms!

New Small Market and Stand Alone MTF Organization Marks Big Mileston
New Small Market and Stand Alone MTF Organization Marks Big Milestone

DHA Health Care Market Structure | Small Market and Stand-Alone MTF Organizations | Military Health System Transformation
The Defense Health Agency officially established the Small Market and Stand Alone Military Treatment Facility Organization, or SSO, during a ceremony at Joint Base San Antonio-Kelly Field, Texas on Dec. 14.
With 20 Direct Reporting Military Health System Markets established within the U.S. during the past year, the DHA has now launched an intermediate management organization to serve the smaller markets, and stand-alone hospitals and clinics that are located outside of the larger market regions.
The SSO is responsible for providing care to an eligible population of 240,000 beneficiaries across 32 states and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The SSO consists of 17 small markets and 68 stand-alone military medical treatment facilities. A primary goal is to standardize health care delivery processes at these facilities.
Currently, larger markets allow groups of military hospitals and clinics in one geographic area to work together with TRICARE partners, Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals, other federal health care organizations, private sector teaching hospitals and medical universities. Markets operate as a system to share patients, staff, budgets, and other functions to improve readiness and the delivery and coordination of health services. The new SSO was established to offer these same benefits to more geographically isolated locations.
"I've been fortunate enough to participate in a number of ceremonies across the Military Health System and across the country welcoming new military markets and the hospitals and clinics within them, but this one is different," said DHA Director Army Lt. Gen. (Dr.) Ronald Place, who hosted the ceremony.
"Today, we're welcoming a team that includes MTFs from throughout the United States and one in Cuba. The largest of our large markets has less than 35 MTFs – this one has 140 MTFs."
The facilities the SSO supports account for just over a quarter of all health care encounters within the MHS direct-care system.
What makes the SSO unique is the varying size, scale and scope of these facilities. The cross-service collaboration that existed within the geographic areas where the larger markets now exist will give facilities under the SSO a foundation to build on, Place said.
"We will leverage the knowledge and experience that we have gained from transitioning those large markets and now put our focus here in the small markets and MTFs, where most of our service members actually get their care," said Place.
"Health care is a local experience, best managed by those of you on the ground, interacting with leaders and our patients directly. But what we aim to achieve is a consistent, standardized approach for our patients and for our health care team."
Key to that standardization is a system and approach that is consistent from across all facilities, making the transitions that are part of military life easier on both the patients and the personnel.
"That couldn't be more true than it is in the SSO," said Place.
The new SSO Director Air Force Maj. Gen. Shanna Woyak added, "From start to finish, the individuals who stood up the SSO have been nothing short of inspiring – the long hours and the work that it takes to put a new organization together. Their commitment to our mission, often on borrowed time, has been noticed."
It took "a leap of faith" for many people to realize what a new and integrated way forward for military medicine would look like and that the SSO is a nuanced part of that future vision, but it is no less important, Woyak said.
"What the SSO does for the medical readiness of the force, because of the numbers, the locations and the integration with the larger force, is collectively greater than what we get at the larger sites," she said. "Our promise to support the MTFs – we're going to do that to the best of our ability. We will support you."
Leadership, Woyak said, has never been more important in military medicine than it is today.
"We will learn from you. We will share with you. We will tirelessly advocate for all of our MTFs and, more importantly, we will lead with purpose. We will lead with collaboration; we will lead with innovation; and we will definitely lead with a vision focused on creating highly effective, highly integrated health care delivery systems."
What's comes next for the DHA?
In 2022, the agency will assume management and administration of all overseas MTFs, divided into two regions: DHA Region Indo-Pacific and DHA Region Europe.

21.10.2016 | Public Parks
The Gardens Trust has been campaigning to protect public parks for many years. Despite a revival in public parks at the end of the twentieth century, they now face a desperate future. Spending cuts mean that local authority can no longer afford to maintain them and some are at risk from development.
The Gardens Trust was one of the founding organisations of the Parks Charter in 2018. The Parks Charter calls on government to protect our parks because of the serious long-term damage caused by budget cuts and lack of investment. The Charter was signed by over 100 organisations and the campaign was backed by a major national newspaper.
Uncertain Prospects
In November 2016, the Gardens Trust launched the report 'Uncertain Prospects: Public parks in the age of austerity' at the first Historic Landscape Assembly. 'Uncertain Prospects' celebrated a renaissance in public parks but warned that parks face a desperate future. The pressures of spending cuts mean that local authority can no longer afford to maintain them properly. This followed 'Public Prospects: Urban parks under threat' which was published by the Garden History Society and Victorian Society in 1993. That report highlighted the problems facing historic urban parks and was influential.
2016 Government inquiry
Earlier in 2016 a government inquiry into the state of public parks had been set up, in order to look at:
The impact of cuts in local authority budgets on parks
The administrative status of parks given that local authority have shrinking resources
How to support new and existing parks
What additional or alternative funding is available and how local authorities could generate revenue from park users
The advantages and disadvantages of other ways of managing parks, such as privatisation or outsourcing
The Gardens Trust submitted a response written by Dr. Katy Layton Jones, and she also gave evidence to the inquiry in person.
Unfortunately, the government's report on the future of public parks was disappointing. The inquiry recognised the crisis facing parks, but it failed to address the problems of funding and managing parks adequately.

Colombia's rapidly breeding 'cocaine hippos' must be stopped, scientists say
Scientists say Colombia must cull its so-called "cocaine hippos" that roam the Magdalena river basin as they are breeding voraciously and are an increasing menace. The marshlands of Colombia have been home to these giant mammals since they were illegally imported in the late 1980s by the notorious drug lord, Pablo Escobar. When he was shot dead in 1993, the Colombian government took control of his extravagant estate, including his personal zoo. Most of the animals were shipped away, but four hippos were left to fend for themselves in a pond, and now there are dozens of them living in the wild. Although nobody knows exactly how many there are, estimates put the total number between 80 and 100, making them the largest invasive species on the planet. Scientists forecast that the number of hippos will swell to almost 1,500 by 2040. They conclude, that at that point, environmental impacts will be irreversible and numbers impossible to control. "Nobody likes the idea of shooting a hippo, but we have to accept that no other strategy is going to work," ecologist Nataly Castelblanco-Martínez told The Telegraph.

Waukesha Christmas parade tragedy victim, 52, to be laid to rest Monday – Fox News
WAUKESHA, Wis. – Tamara Durand, one of the victims of last week's Waukesha, Wisconsin, Christmas parade horror, will be laid to rest Monday following a visitation in nearby Oconomowoc.
Durand, 52, "danced home to Jesus," on Nov. 21, when 39-year-old Darrell Brooks Jr. drove his red Ford Escape SUV through the barricades and into the crowd at the Waukesha Christmas Parade.
Durand was a mother of three, a grandmother, a local chaplain and teacher and an avid volunteer, according to the obituary. She was also a member of the Milwaukee Dancing Grannies, a group of women who were struck by Brooks during the holiday parade.
WAUKESHA PARADE ATTACK: 7 CHILDREN STILL RECOVERING IN HOSPITAL ONE WEEK AFTER DEADLY AMBUSH
Tamara Durand reportedly was participating in her first Milwaukee Dancing Grannies performance when she was killed. (Facebook)
WAUKESHA PARADE SUSPECT DARRELL BROOKS FACING 5 COUNTS OF 1ST-DEGREE INTENTIONAL HOMICIDE, HELD ON $5M BAIL
She was an organ donor "and will continue helping people even after her passing," the obituary states.
A visitation service will be held on Monday from noon to 3 p.m., followed by a mass and private burial, according to the obituary.
Durand was one of six people who died as a result of the parade tragedy. Other victims include an 8-year-old boy, the only child to have died in the attack, and an 81-year-old man for whom a private ceremony was already held.
Brooks, a career criminal, has been charged with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide, each of which carries a life sentence upon conviction. A criminal complaint pertaining to his arrest describes how Brooks appeared emotionless as he drove into the crowd after allegedly fleeing from a domestic incident, possibly involving a knife.
The Waukesha County District Attorney has already said additional first-degree intentional homicide charges are imminent.
The Milwaukee resident has been charged, convicted and sentenced in a slew of horrific crimes through the years, including just earlier in November when he was accused of running over a woman using the same vehicle that he was driving on Nov. 21.
During his first court appearance last week, Brooks was ordered held on $5 million cash bail.

Aspen Bridging has officially launched its new Finish & Exit bridge product, which has been fine-tuned over the last three months to introduce several market-leading elements.
Top-line the product is available up to 80% LTV from day one with rates starting at 0.49% per calendar month. The term can run from eight to 12 months up to the lender's maximum loan sizes of £4m net for portfolios and £2m net on single properties.
The finer selling points sit within the lending criteria itself. The product is available on wind and watertight developments, allowing drawdowns on revisit or building control sign-off, and will progress with no building surveyor required where works are sufficiently advanced as its underwriters will be present at valuation stage.
Aspen originally soft launched its Finish & Exit bridge to fine tune the product, with multiple projects now completed on including £862,500 on three newbuilds in Whitstable at 80% LTV, and £1,050,000 on four complex construction newbuilds in Canterbury at 75% LTV.
Jack Coombs, director at Aspen Bridging said: "We assessed the market and found lender criteria for such Finish & Exit bridges to be too restrictive. The demand is strong given the current environment of slower sales where development lenders are often requiring redemption earlier than developers are able to deliver.


Hi there and good morning! How are you? This 85th issue of The Highlighter is filled with six articles that I'm confident you'll enjoy. It's all here — the right to use a public bathroom, the fight against an oil pipeline, the role of reading in our society, the way we see the world, and why people do not email us back. If you're advanced and adventurous, read all six articles, and you'll receive a prize!

Alex Good argues that the problem of our time is not illiteracy but rather aliteracy — in other words, people know how to read but choose not to. Mr. Good, who is Canadian, focuses mostly on the reading of fiction — and whether "distant reading" (snippets from tons of books) or "close reading" (deep study of fewer books) is preferable. My take is that the issue not illiteracy vs. aliteracy but rather different literacies based on social inequities.
Following in the footsteps of Marley Davis, the 12-year-old girl who last year founded 1,000 Black Girl Books, here is 11-year-old Sidney Keys III, who started Book N Bros, a book club in St. Louis dedicated to boys and African American literature. Recent books include Hidden Figures and The News Crew, by Walter Dean Myers. This article comes with an 18-minute podcast.

I like this move from the Boston public schools to replace the traditional (and Eurocentric) Mercator projection, whose map distorts the size of Europe and the United States, with the Peters projection, which more accurately sizes South America and Africa. "This is the start of a three-year effort to decolonize the curriculum in our public schools," said Colin Rose, assistant superintendent of opportunity and achievement gaps. Thank you to loyal subscriber Heidi for submitting this article.
Since I've left teaching, I've spent way too much time worrying needlessly about inconsequential things, like why some people do not respond to my (brilliant, clever, important) email. In this hilarious piece, Susannah Wolff talks me down from the ledge and reminds me to get over myself. After all, there are many reasons people fail to answer email.

Castilla rejoins Rockies
Vinny Castilla couldn't contain the ear-to-ear grin. He smiled as photos were snapped, and grinned when he answered questions.
Castilla was elated to be back with the Colorado Rockies, agreeing to terms on a minor league contract yesterday for his third stint with the franchise. He previously played for the Rockies from 1993 to 1999, and again in 2004.
Castilla will spend a few weeks with Triple-A Colorado Springs as a designated hitter to work on his swing and test his sore knee. If everything goes as scheduled, Castilla will be brought up Sept. 1, when rosters expand. After the season, Castilla will retire and join the organization in an undetermined capacity.
"I'm excited to retire as a Rockie," he said.
The third baseman, a career .276 hitter, was released by the San Diego Padres on July 21 after hitting .232 in 72 games..
Reds -- Left-hander Kent Mercker, 38, will undergo season-ending reconstructive surgery on his left elbow Thursday. Mercker, a former Oriole, has been on the disabled list three times this season with elbow problems. He is 1-1, with a 4.13 ERA and one save in 37 relief appearances this season.
Nationals -- Second baseman Jose Vidro, who has been sidelined since July 18 with a left hamstring injury, is heading to Double-A Harrisburg to continue his rehabilitation work and could be back with Washington by the end of the week. Also, manager Frank Robinson chalked up Brian Schneider's out-of-character post-game tirade Sunday to "a heat-of-the-moment thing."
Pirates -- All-Star outfielder Jason Bay, who had tightness in his upper right hamstring, did not start for the first time in almost two years. He had not missed a start since Sept. 4, 2004 - 307 consecutive games. The Pirates also placed outfielder Nate McLouth on the 15-day disabled list because of a sprained left ankle.
Phillies -- All-Star closer Tom Gordon has soreness in his right shoulder and will likely miss the rest of Philadelphia's four-game series with the Mets.
Olympics -- Former Oriole Mike Kinkade and former major leaguer Chad Allen lead the roster for the U.S. national team that will compete in an Olympic qualifying tournament in Havana from Aug. 25 to Sept. 5. Former Orioles manager Davey Johnson will manage the U.S. team. The United States did not qualify for the Olympics in 2004. The 24-man roster consists of professionals who are not in the majors.

Clark County judges take guardianship oversight away from embattled judge, hearing master
Long-running complaints about financial and physical abuse of court wards were exposed in a series of Review-Journal articles published in April.

Clark County Family Court Commissioner Jon Norheim during an interview at Clark County Family Court, 601 N. Pecos, on Friday March 13, 2015. Private Professional Guardians have been abusing the system and causing elderly wards in Clark County to lose their life's savings worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. (Jeff Scheid/Las Vegas Review-Journal)
The judge and hearing master who presided over the troubled Clark County guardianship court will no longer hear those cases, the court announced Thursday.
For over a decade, guardianship cases were heard by Commissioner Jon Norheim. District Court Judge Charles Hoskin handled any appeals or disputes between parties. Those cases will be transferred to Judge Dianne Steel, District Court's longest-serving judge, effective June 1, according to a statement released Thursday.
The changes at the court coincided with the filing of a petition with the Nevada Supreme Court Thursday to create a commission to review the process and examine the creation of guardianships, monitoring of cases, court documentation and judicial training.
Long-running problems with the system that handles about 8,500 adult guardianship cases each year were exposed in a series of Review-Journal articles published in April. Cases highlighted by the newspaper showed a lack of oversight by the courts, such as failing to require guardians to file annual accounts of a ward's finances even though it is required by state law.
Swift changes have come since.
After hearing concerns raised by the newspaper and from dozens of people who felt wronged by the system, county commissioners began discussing the problems last month.
Chief Judge David Barker has asked the commissioners to approve funding for two court investigators and two compliance officers that he hopes will increase the level of monitoring of guardianship cases and protect wards, who are people under guardianship. Barker also help set up a hotline for people to lodge guardianship complaints by calling 702-671-4614 or sending an email to guardianshipcompliance@clarkcountycourts.us.
Clark County commissioners quickly moved to establish a blue ribbon panel to analyze and recommend fixes to the court. But when Chief Justice James Hardesty of the Nevada Supreme Court expressed interest in creating a larger, statewide panel, the commissioners gladly obliged.
Hardesty, along with Barker and Washoe County Chief Judge David Hardy, filed the motion to create the commission Thursday afternoon.
"There are several critical problems facing Nevada's courts as a result of an increase in the number of elderly and vulnerable persons who require guardianships or conservatorships," Hardesty said. "We recognize the need to address these problems statewide and identify the resources necessary to assist the court system to meet Nevada's needs."
Handling guardianship cases will not exactly be foreign to Steel, who has been a judge since 1997. She heard minor guardianship cases from 2007 to 2011.
"I am committed to the court's goal to protect those impacted by intellectual disabilities and diseases associated with aging," Steel said in the release. "Through experience, I know how difficult these cases are for families, and I will work hard to ensure that the court is handling these cases in a manner in accordance with the laws established to protect families dealing with guardianship."
The court did not specify any exact reasons for the change, saying only that the change comes after talks with "state and nationally respected judicial experts."
The court did not say what Norheim would be reassigned to after the changes become official next month.

An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to references such as books and articles In an annotated bibliography, each citation is followed by a brief descriptive paragraph of about 150 words, the annotation, which describes the reference and may evaluate its quality. The annotation's purpose is to provide sufficient information for the reader to determine the relevance and value of the reference to the reader.
This paper is the result of an exhaustive literature review of journal and magazine articles, conference proceedings, books, and dissertations on construction innovation. It also includes particularly valuable references on general industrial innovation. The most current Internet sites that promote and disseminate information about innovations in construction are included as a special section. The primary target was general literature on construction innovation management, methods, implementation, technology transfer, models, and history. Most items that deal with a particular construction innovation such as a new construction material or a new piece of construction equipment were not included. Some references describe manufacturing models and applications that can be used in construction. A total of 64 references are cited and annotated.
The annotated bibliography provides a distinctive view, unique and original in its breadth and depth, into the state of the art of construction innovation. As a catalog of available information, it is an essential guide to basic research and industry practice on which others can build. It is invaluable in providing a starting point for current and future construction innovation researchers. It helps people determine the best sources of information to solve problems and advance industry practice. It is of particular value to construction owners, contractors, architects, engineers, and materials and equipment manufacturers in developing innovative policies and practices.
Abstract: This annotated bibliography covers journal articles, conference proceedings, books, and dissertations on construction innovation and in some cases general industrial innovation. References to the most current Internet sites that promote and disseminate information about innovations in construction are included as a special section. The primary target was general literature on construction innovation management, methods, implementation, technology transfer, models, and history. Most articles that dealt with a particular construction innovation such as a new construction material or a new piece of construction equipment were not included. Some references describe manufacturing models and applications that can be used in construction. More than 60 references are included.

On Friday we booked it out of work and made it over the Bay Bridge in record time, even with beach traffic and rush hour. We could not be more pleased to arrive while the sun was still high in the sky. We had a perfect, relaxing evening on the Shore. It was great to spend time in the warm sun and have a leisurely dinner with Mark's family.
Sleep never felt so good. The breeze, the silence of night, and the early morning bird chirps were all welcomed signs of an escape from the city. If nothing else, the desire for peacefull sleep will move us to the Eastern Shore someday (and trust me, there are plenty of other reasons pulling on us).
Saturday quickly became a work day. We got the oil changed, found out we need new brakes, Mark got a VERY short new haircut much to his dismay, and we quickly filled a backet with groceries in preparation for Sunday's BBQ at the Simplers. And this was all before breakfast! Back at the house we ate and moved to the boat. Oh the long neglected boat. It was in need of new lines and a good scrub. Mark and Ben spent hours working on it. The afternoon was filled with watching excellent lacrosse and the evening ended with a heated game of homerun derby. Ben and I beat Mark and Jim, and we will be certain to never let those trash-talking, no-hitting, butter fingered opponents let it down! Though I am certain revenge will come soon.
Sunday morning we attending church at Safe Harbor and then drove up to Millington to join the gang for a BBQ and wiffle ball. It was a wonderful afternoon full of excitement, Fallon is pregnant! good food, great friends, and once again, relaxation.
Monday morning capped the long weekend with a trip down the Wye on the sail boat. The wind was perfect and we cruised. Sailing is a great deal of work, but always worth it. Every muscle in my body aches after a good sail, and yet I cannot imagine a better way to spend time.
Theme of the weekend: Relaxing! It was perfect!
