'This Is Me, Take It or Leave It'
In photos and words, citizens of a gritty community create a vibrant self-portrait.

"Hotel Balmoral," Leticia Whitehead, 2007, from Hope in Shadows.
Paul Levesque has spent 40 years in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, and he sees the neighbourhood as a sole reminder of the way this city used to be.
"It's the last of an era, of Vancouver built in the 1950s, '60s, '70s," he says, standing in the pouring rain at Hastings and Dunlevy. "It's unique. It's not fictional; it's reality. The east end community is not like any other community, because it's not plastic. It's not like keeping up with the Joneses, because we can't afford to keep up with the Joneses. It's a poverty-stricken area. It's painful. But it's also reality."
The book launch for Hope in Shadows: Stories and Photographs of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside will be held tonight, April 24, in Vancouver at Gallery Gachet (88 E. Cordova) and will feature some of the original images from the original exhibitions from the past five years.
To Levesque, the photographs taken by area residents for Pivot Legal Society's Hope in Shadows project are "a collector's item, because what's down here, in the next 10 years, it's going to totally change."
Hope in Shadows began five years ago as a fund-raiser for Pivot. The premise was simple: distribute disposable cameras to Downtown Eastside residents for an annual photography contest. The winning images were published in a calendar, which residents could sell, and displayed in local galleries. Now, some of those pictures, along with the stories of their photographers, have been compiled by Geist magazine contributing editors Brad Cran and Gillian Jerome in the book Hope in Shadows: Stories and Photographs of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (Arsenal Pulp Press.)
Working in collaboration with Pivot, Cran and Jerome hoped to continue the project's mandate of accurately representing the reality of the Downtown Eastside, which is most often seen through the perfunctory lens of a mainstream media eager to perpetuate the worst possible stereotypes about Canada's poorest postal code.
'Pictures of humanity'
"People in this neighbourhood are people who, in many ways, have had all kinds of things that are theirs taken from them," says Laurel Dykstra, women's group facilitator for VANDU, the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users. "And the final indignity is people who come to this neighbourhood and take away images and stories without good communication; without clear consent. The typical picture of the Downtown Eastside is a shot of alleys and dumpsters. There are some of those in [Hope in Shadows] and not all of those are pictures of despair or pictures of degradation. They are pictures of humanity and compassion and people's lives, doing the best that they can. There's great things about this neighbourhood -- there's hope and resiliency and vibrancy in this community."
In fact, Dykstra sees the Downtown Eastside as the ideal place to teach her two young daughters about what community means. "They know a lot of people with experiences that are really different from theirs," she says, "so they know that to be a member of a community isn't to have a monolithic experience. The things that people are afraid of in this neighbourhood are things that people should be afraid of in every neighbourhood."
"There's a huge sense of community -- more than I've found anywhere else that I've ever lived, and I've lived in a lot of places," notes VANDU president Richard Utendale. "People look after each other, because by the time you get to this neighbourhood, all the things that you may have had to hide behind, or buffer yourself with in your life are gone. What you've got is, 'This is me; this is who I am, take it or leave it.' And so people kind of look out for each other and look after each other, because you have to -- it's survival."
A girl's eye view
We're rounding the corner of Cordova and Gore in filthy weather and, as if on cue, a man opens his shopping bag and offers Kathy Walker a bun. She has no umbrella and he thinks maybe she's hungry. In fact, Walker has a home and a job with a livable wage -- but part of the reason she and her family moved to the Downtown Eastside 15 years ago was to become part of a community like this -- and she's touched by the man's gesture.
Like Dykstra, Walker is raising her daughters in the Downtown Eastside. It turns out that the photographs taken by Walker's girls are among the loveliest in the book. Somehow, they have created a visual oasis out of what most Vancouverites view as a blight.
"People have all these ideas about the neighbourhood," says Walker, "and I just think, 'Wow, that's not my experience.' Don't get me wrong, there's challenges, but it's been by and large a very good place to raise kids. To me, kids being in a neighbourhood like this make it safer for everybody. The more you have kids and families around, the more it kind of normalizes things a bit. People say they like hearing the kids, that background compared to the hotels -- with the fighting and carrying on and the threats. It mediates the stuff that goes on. By and large, that's how I encourage people to co-operate, with basic, decent behaviour -- by appealing to their concern for kids."
Lattice of stories
One of things that surprised Cran the most was the diversity of experience among those he and Jerome interviewed. "There is no typical 'Downtown Eastside person,'" he says. "On any given day, the stories could take us from the residential school system in small-town B.C., to Damascus, to the battle of Hamburger Hill or on a steam liner sailing through Asia."
Hendrik Beune does not fit the standard paradigm of a Downtown Eastside resident. Raised in the Netherlands, he holds a degree in biology and zoology from UBC and is an advocate for social housing. He ran an oyster farm in Theodosia Inlet for 12 years, until the business failed, and then his marriage, and then his mental health. Beune has never injected drugs -- but he's kept an eye out for those around him who wrestle with addiction -- and when he slept on the street, he often agreed to let women he knew share his spot for security.
"There's some amazing stories in [the book] of courage and togetherness," he reflects. "The Downtown Eastside really is unique in that regard. There are people from all walks of life down here. People over here, they're often looked at like, 'It's your own fault you're here.' I say it can happen to anybody."
'I try to stay positive'
Wilda is tiny. She's wearing a baseball cap and huge headphones. Pink and green fingerless gloves. Her teeth are brown and chipped in front -- and she doesn't know how to react when she finds out that her photo is on the cover of Hope and Shadows. "It freaks me," she says, turning it over in her lap with a nervous laugh. "Oh, my God, I can't look at it. There's no words to describe it." Maybe, she says, her sister in Victoria -- a schizophrenic whose address she lost two years ago -- will see it in a bookstore.
"I try to stay positive about most things," says Wilda, "and then I look at this picture, and . . . ." She tears up, remembering some of the worst of what she's been through down here -- the rape; the crystal meth addiction. She reckons that, with the Olympics coming, there will be more and more people on the streets. "People have nowhere to bloody go," she says. "And they don't want to go anywhere else because this is their home. It's the people -- it's the people that you meet all the time. I don't know all the names, but I know the faces. That's what I like about a tight community. Everybody's different; everybody has a different upbringing, you know? OK, I ended up here, and I'm living with it. We do the best we can do and that's all we can do."
The picture Wilda took is of a man named Al Tardif. She didn't really know him, she says -- he was just a guy who was around. In the book, Al talks about growing up on the North Shore with a dog named Skipper. "I would walk down to the Dairy Queen with my dog and pay a quarter for an ice cream cone," he recalls.
Tardif died just a few weeks ago, of complications from pneumonia.

The Netherlands is a parliamentary democracy. Normally once every four years the Dutch citizens entitled to vote (Dutch nationals aged 18 or over) elect the people who will represent them in Parliament, so the elections are the basis of democracy.
Parliament's duties include scrutinising the work of the Government and making new laws in cooperation with the Government. The Dutch Parliament is called "the States General". It is bicameral, which means it consists of two chambers: the Senate (Eerste Kamer der Staten-Generaal) and the House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer der Staten-Generaal).

Thomas Ansell ~ Flying Frisians: the curious sport of Fierljeppen
If you're passing through Friesland (or a couple of other regions in the Netherlands) this summer and see someone flying through the air on a pole, don't worry: you're just seeing Fierljeppen.
Following up from our recent piece on the Frisian sport of Kaatsen– handball – we felt it was only right to turn our attention to another distinctly Frisian activity, namely the sport that sees hundreds of people floating gracefully through the air on top of a pole: Fierljeppen.
The game can be quite well summarised by breaking down its name: in West Frisian, "fier"means "far", and "ljeppen" means "leaping". In essence, it is a bit like the Pole Vault, but instead of jumping over a bar and on to a large crash mat, you jump over waterways in Friesland.

Pauline Montanus ~ How to File for Divorce in the Netherlands – Part 1
As an expat living in the Netherlands it is, in most cases, possible to get a legal divorce in the Netherlands that will also be recognized in your own country. International and family law expert, Pauline Montanus, explains how to file for divorce in the Netherlands and what to expect during negotiations and divorce proceedings. You can find the second part of this series here.
Contact a Specialized Family Lawyer
If you are legally married and want to divorce, your marriage must be formally dissolved by the District Court. The filing can be done by one spouse or on behalf of both spouses. To be able to file for divorce in the Netherlands you will need a lawyer. It is not possible to contact and file your divorce with the District Court yourself. You may find good family lawyers specialized in international family on the Amsterdam Mamas website.
It first needs to be determined whether the Dutch judge has jurisdiction to rule on the divorce. This will be the case when at least one spouse still has habitual residence in the Netherlands. Dutch law does not require the spouses to live physically apart for a certain period before they file for divorce.
On the day the lawyer sends the divorce papers on behalf of one spouse to the District Court, the case is 'pending'. The lawyer will, as instructed by law, contact a bailiff to serve the divorce papers to the other spouse so this spouse is officially informed and can contact a lawyer.
In general, divorce proceedings will consist of a written petition, a written defense (term to file is six to ten weeks) and a court hearing (couple of months, depending on how busy the District Court is). After that, the judge will rule (six to eight weeks) and the verdict will be sent to your lawyer. After the District Court has ruled, there is a three-month period to appeal.
Legal Grounds for Divorce
In the Netherlands, divorce (echtscheiding) is always on the legal grounds of 'irretrievable breakdown of the marriage'. There is generally no requirement to define or prove this. It will not be to your (financial) advantage or disadvantage if you are the person filing for divorce.
It is, however, possible for the other spouse to contest the divorce claim in the proceedings before the District Court or the Court of Appeal. Although, in general, the Dutch judge will grant the divorce request since it is typically not accepted to force marriage without possible dissolution.

Radboud Universiteit ~ 2in1 project: Meer weten over meertaligheid in het onderwijs
Er is veel informatie over meertaligheid en (taal)onderwijs te vinden in een aantal recentelijk verschenen documenten: een rapport over Language teaching and learning in multilingual classrooms van 2015 van de Europese Commissie, de in 2018 verschenen verkenning Talen voor Nederland van de KNAW (Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie der Wetenschappen), het door de PO-raad gepubliceerd rapport Ruimte voor nieuw talenten van 2017, en een in 2018 verschenen rapport Meertaligheid in primair en voortgezet onderwijs van het SLO. Daarnaast is er veel informatie over meertaligheid te vinden op de webpagina van het SLO. De ene bron is wat toegankelijker geschreven dan de andere maar wat deze documenten allemaal gemeen hebben is dat ze allemaal het belang van meertaligheid in het onderwijs benadrukken en het nut van een veeltalige aanpak in het onderwijs onderkennen. Deze boodschap is ook terug te lezen in verschillende (opinie)stukken die de afgelopen jaren zijn verschenen, waaronder dit stuk in Trouw over thuistalen van de hand van Gerrit Jan en collega Karijn Helsloot (Studio Taalwetenschap), en twee artikelen in Tijdschrift Taal over het omgaan met verschillende talen in de klas: Talensensibilisering in het basisonderwijs – Op een positieve manier omgaan met talen in de klas door Sofie Jonckheere, en Meertaligheid: een oordeel of vooroordeel? door Carla van Engel-van Esch.

Bridges of Amsterdam
With its network of more than 100km of canals, it's no surprise that Amsterdam has become renowned as the City of Bridges. Linking the city's distinct neighbourhoods through an intricate, slowly evolving web, these structures – some of which date back more than 350 years – help bicycles, scooters, locals, tourists, cars, horses, cats and dogs across its roads and over its waters.
This website is a celebration of the hundreds of bridges that help define street-level Amsterdam. It's intended to be a useful source of information that relates not only to the bridges themselves, but also one that shows how a simple bridge can be inseparably tied to a city's past, present and future.

We checked out the site of the Delphic oracle for a couple days, and then it was time to bus it to our next destination. The beautiful island of Lefkada. The hotel folks just shook their heads. Why? Because it is complicated. Buses are probably the best way to get around, but it isn't exactly smooth sailing.
After a brief 2o minute bus ride down the valley to the water to Itea, we launched into a 1.5 hour wait right away until another bus picked us up. In the meantime, an insane cat fight sparked up right in front of the bus station between a young mother with 3 young children, and some teenager. It was intense, sadly babies crying, hair pulling, and lots of yelling and spitting.
After that erruption, we got on out next bus for a couple hours, and we ended up at a bridge with no real instructions for how to get to our final destination Lefkada. But apparently a bus would be in the area at 18:45PM. Could be on the Antirrio side, could be on the Rio side. We waited here for 3 hours.
Eventually, the bus did roll in just after 7PM where we were located in these parts above (North East side of the bridge). Just before sunset.
So, we flagged the bus down, and hopped on for another 3 hours to Lefkada where we were picked up by the owners of our new abode.
It was dark when we arrived, so it was a delight to wake up to our new office/villa (including private pool) in paradise located on the South tip of the Island. Here, we are surrounded by beautiful mountains, with gorgeous beaches just 15 minutes away on the West coast.

How To Restart, Shutdown Mac Faster From CLI : Careful !
Be careful, you must know at least about Terminal, Command Line, some commands of Unix Like OS. We must read the manual of each command by running man used in this guide. This is not an alternative way to GUI based restart, shutdown. These must be used judicially, keeping in mind – for forced restart, no active opened files will be saved.

Both are unix functions. Steve Jobs has zero contribution to these functions. You can write a bash script to make it faster, executing the sh will work. Basic thing to understand – the GUI part of Mac OS X Yosemite is too heavy and poorly integrated with unix system. You can actually recompile the OS and use with some other graphical environment, it is quite difficult, hence iTerm2, Homebrew are so much praised. If you try to recompile the OS, Apple applications will be difficult to run. That is said, but actually many HP-UX users use Homebrew!

Whether you own or rent a home, you never want to pay in utilities more than you have to. The question is can you lower your monthly bills? I'm happy to inform you that the answer is YES. There are many ways you can save money on your energy bill, water bill even gas bill. The key is to plan and be consistent with your intentions. A few smaller investments up front will save you a lot of money down the road.
We all are very busy and don't have time to think about how to save a few bucks here and there, but those few bucks can become a large sum as time goes by. It is hard to pay more in the beginning for something which benefits you cannot feel immediately. But that's the right thing to do. It is an investment which will pay back later. Don't think only for today, plan for tomorrow as well.
Trust me; your valet will thank you. So, let's take a look a few ways how you can save money and stretch your hard earned dollar.
The study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Heat Island Group found that in sunny climates, buildings with white roofs required up to 40 percent less energy for cooling than those with black roofs. You could save $120 or more per year in cooling costs, at current utility rates.
The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that a heater set at 140 degrees or higher can waste $36 to $61 annually in standby heat losses to keep water at that temperature, and more than $400 to bring fresh water up to that high temperature. If you are planning a vacation and you won't be at home for a period of time, just turn your heater off and you will save even more money.
Many state and local governments and utility companies offer financial incentives for homeowners to upgrade their appliances to newer, more energy-efficient models. You can go to online Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency, or DSIRE, to see how you can save money and find incentives in your area.
Prices on the thermostats have come down so much that installing one is a no-brainer, especially because the EPA estimates the average homeowner can save $180 per year with a properly programmed unit.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, A staggering $10 billion is wasted every year on vampire energy, also known as standby power. "New devices automatically power down computers and other electronics when they are not in use. Otherwise, these television sets, video games and other electronics simply waste electricity," says Suzanne Jones from Association of Energy Services Professionals. Smart power strips can help.
Do you leave your shower running while you wait for the water to heat up? You could be wasting up to 7,800 gallons of water a year if you have a family a three. Installing a Ladybug showerhead adapter with ShowerStart technology is a simple solution. This device easily installs on your showerhead and conserves hot water by lowering the flow down to a trickle until you pull a cord to resume normal water flow. At less than $30, you'll make up the cost in savings in only a few months.
These are just the ones I found the most useful. Of course there are many other ways to save money, here are three more: 1.) Keep south-facing window coverings open during day to let in the sun's heat and close them at night; 2.) If you have drafty doors, which is especially a problem in older buildings, purchase or make a door snake to catch cold air. A rolled up towel can also do the trick; 3.) To stop drafts from windows, purchase window storm kits for inexpensive, temporary insulation.

Be very careful if you're turning off your water heater. Legionella can survive in up to 122 degrees F water. If you leave your water at about 120 degrees, they generally don't multiply, but it won't kill them. But if you leave the water down at a lower temperature for a while, they'll have plenty of time to breed. If you come back after having turned off your water heater, be sure to increase the temperature up to about 140 for a few hours, to make sure all the bacteria is killed. Saving a few dollars a month isn't worth your health.

Drowned out in all this contract talk is the fact Leon Draisaitl had a pretty great season
Bruce McCurdy, Edmonton Journal
2016-17 Edmonton Oilers in review
Leon Draisaitl
In recent days it seems like every other story on the Edmonton Oilers concerns the contract status of its young stars. With Connor McDavid's future resolved in emphatic fashion on Wednesday — 8 years, $100 million, holy wow — that of his scoring sidekick Leon Draisaitl has become all the rage. Or should I say, all the rage seems to be directed towards Leon Draisaitl.
I can't tell you how many times recently I've heard variations of lines like these:
"Back up the truck for Connor, but if Leon wants a penny over $X.x million, Peter Chiarelli should trade his ass!"
(with X = a figure generally favourable to the team)
"If Draisaitl signs an offer sheet, we should just let him walk and use the draft choices to replace him!"
I'll admit I've paraphrased the sentiments here for dramatic effect, but suffice to say there's been a surprising amount of vitriol for a young player who has done nothing more than seriously outperform his entry-level contract and whose camp is negotiating his next one. Clumsily, perhaps, though who knows the true sources of various rumours of an ask approaching $10 million dollars annually or whispers of offer sheets or chitchat of trades. Here at the Cult of Hockey the subject has been thoroughly covered by my colleagues David Staples and Kurt Leavins so I won't belabour the state of contract negotiations any further here other than to say I'm a little stunned at the level of antipathy towards the player in some corners. Especially this player.
Staples: Oilers insiders finally sound bullish on Draisaitl contract
Leavins: Let's all get real on Leon Draisaitl
This post is instead aimed at reviewing the young man's performance ON the ice, which has been good enough to warrant talk of a possible eight-year extension and comparisons to some fine young players like Vladimir Tarasenko, Yevgeni Kuznetsov, and Ryan Johansen. Except Draisaitl is younger still and joined the conversation faster than even those guys.
After being drafted third overall in 2014, it took Draisaitl a little while to find his way. His first half-season in the NHL was unproductive and he was sent back to junior, where he starred. In Year Two he started out in the AHL, but was called up in late October and hasn't missed a single game since, 167 in a row now including playoffs. In his first full(ish) campaign he was one of 97 NHLers to hit the 50-point threshold, and was in fact the second youngest to do so (only Jack Eichel was younger). Then in Year Three he was one of just 10 NHLers to muster 75 points. Again he was the second youngest in the group; this only Connor McDavid was younger.
Top ten is some pretty elite company to say the least, but let's expand to include the top 20 NHL scorers from 2016-17. I've circled all those ages under 23.
Just five players under the age of 25 on the whole list. Nikita Kucherov and Mark Scheifele have since turned 24 and are both >30 months older than Draisaitl, while just McDavid and Bruins' phenom David Pastrnak are younger.
The Oilers are going to replace that with draft picks? Yeah… no. Put me in the camp that would rather hang on to the successful draft choice who is already ripping up the pea patch. Or should I say, the two successful draft picks. A young tandem like that doesn't come along very often, even as they are clearly not equals; fact is that McDavid really has no equals. But he's still going to need plenty of help and young Draisaitl seems ideally placed to deliver on that front. He's also the perfect age to remain part of the McDavid Cluster for the foreseeable future.
For all that he did in North America, a full discussion of Draisaitl's remarkable 2016-17 season begins and ends in Europe where he twice represented Germany. First up was the Olympic qualifying tournament in Riga, Latvia, where he led his team with 5 points in 3 games including a goal and assist in the 3-2 win over the hosts which clinched a berth for his country in Pyeongchang, a very big deal. From there it was straight on to Toronto for the World Cup of Hockey, where he played for Ralph Krueger's Team Europe, scoring a couple of brilliant goals which helped the club surprise its way to the finals. From there an 82-game NHL season, 13 more in the playoffs, then right back on a plane to his home town of Cologne where he again represented Germany in the World Championships. 107 games in all, without one night off. In total he produced 102 points in all competitions.
Focussing on the NHL portion of that, Draisaitl had a quick start before enduring his only significant dry spell of the season. Through 16 GP he languished at 3-5-8, -6. From November 15 through the end of the season he was over a point-per-game player, connecting for 26-43-69, +13 over the final 66 games. Come the playoffs he got hotter still, bouncing back from an illness that curtailed his effectiveness early in the San Jose series to lead the Oilers in goals, assists, points and plus with 6-10-16, +8 over the course of 13 games. That too was enough to finish in the NHL's top ten playoff scorers as well despite playing just two rounds. Included were eruptions of 4 and 5 points against the Ducks, a team Leon tormented all season long.
The big man was terrific on the powerplay, where his 27 points tied McDavid for the team lead and lodged both in the league's top ten in PP points. And he was better than that in overtime, where he personally accounted for the game-winner in three of Edmonton's six overtime wins, and sent McDavid in alone for another. In the playoffs, it was his gorgeous touch pass which David Desharnais converted for Edmonton's one post-season triumph in extra time, a massive Game Five win over the Sharks. As the season wore on he became ever more dominant in game-breaking situations.
So, questions all answered, right? Not so fast. Here's a big one: is Draisaitl a centre or a winger? He came to Edmonton advertised as the big, talented pivot the team has lacked for so long; but he spent much of his third season playing right wing with Connor McDavid, as coach Todd McLellan tried to shoehorn three centres on to his top two lines. He did emerge as the team's most reliable left-shooting option in the faceoff circle, winning 49% of his draws, whereas both McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins languished below 44%.
More to the point, has he shown that he can "drive his own line"? That question is a little more problematic, given as Leon has played each of his first three NHL seasons with a former first-overall draft pick regularly on his line. In his half-season run as a rookie, Leon played alongside Nail Yakupov. They played three hours together and posted decent possession numbers but got outscored 15-3. (!) In his second campaign he had Taylor Hall on his flank, and the Kingston Cannonball was largely credited in some corners for being the driver of play when things went well.
This past season Draisaitl had his best success playing with McDavid, and his WOWY (With Or Without You) splits were fairly extreme: in the eleven 5v5 hours when Draisaitl was paired with McDavid (and usually also Patrick Maroon) the Oilers had 54% of the shot attempts and nearly 60% of the goals, while in eight hours away from McDavid the German saw those same numbers plummet to 48% and 44% respectively. Most of that was early in the season, but is cause for pause all the same. In the playoffs Draisaitl performed splendidly regardless of which line he was on or what position he was playing, but that sample size was limited.
But such is the corner that the Oilers have painted themselves into with their long-term management of this player. They are now faced with a huge decision with something less than complete information, even as the player himself can point to outstanding results, especially for one so young. It's a thorny problem, but ultimately a good problem for the Oilers to have. It just needs to be resolved, preferably internally, and the sooner the better.

Outside the Lab
By Cheryl Alkon | Wednesday, January 15, 2020
Michael Lo Sapio, father of Mikey, 7, and Reid, 5, proudly admits that he's pushy. Both his boys live with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which causes progressive muscle degeneration and weakness beginning in early childhood. People with DMD typically live to their late teens or early 20s.
These facts are grim, but being pushy means not accepting the statistics without a fight. For Michael — and many people living with neuromuscular diseases — one way to push back on the numbers is by participating in research.
Biomedical researchers are constantly seeking information about neuromuscular diseases, testing therapies that could pave the way for potential cures and improve quality of life for people living with these diseases. There are many ways that individuals with neuromuscular disease can be involved in research, whether enrolling in a clinical trial or natural history study, electing to participate in a disease registry, or giving to a tissue bank. All have the potential to advance treatments for neuromuscular diseases.
That's why Michael got pushy when he learned Mikey qualified for a clinical trial of a gene-targeted therapy that has the potential to slow the progression of DMD.
"I called every hospital listed in the trial and pestered them until I finally got answers on when it was starting and made sure Mikey was on the list," he says.
While Mikey has been in the trial for two years, his younger brother did not make the age cutoff to enroll. Michael continues to push to see if Reid could qualify for compassionate use of the medication Mikey is taking. "As a parent, you have to really take control and advocate for your kid," he says.
Why participate in research?
Getting access to the newest medications available is one potential benefit of participating in clinical trials. But being involved in research has other far-reaching effects.
"Many patients tell me that their participation helps define the future research opportunities in clinical care when there are no approved therapies," says Barry Byrne, MD, PhD, a professor of Pediatrics and director of the Child Health Research Institute at the University of Florida in Gainesville. "It helps advance the science and improve outcomes in the long-term."
In other words, you don't have to have an MD or PhD to make a difference in the neuromuscular disease community.
"For most patients, on a basic level, participating is a way to give back to the community," says Nicholas Maragakis, MD, a professor of Neurology at Johns Hopkins Medicine, specializing in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). "A lot of people with ALS say, 'This may not help me, but it may help others who come after me.'"
There are many ways that people with neuromuscular diseases can get involved with research. Finding the right way for you depends on many factors, including your diagnosis, your location, and your available time.
Clinical trials: Clinical trials are experiments done in humans to see if a potential treatment is safe and effective. Clinical trials are run at institutions and hospitals by research teams that often include doctors, nurses, study coordinators, social workers, and other healthcare professionals. But trials are very different from routine medical care, because researchers don't know exactly how the drug or device being tested will affect people.
Each trial has its own inclusion and exclusion criteria to determine who can participate. Many clinical trials require genetic confirmation of a disease so researchers know that they are testing their treatment on the intended target. Genetic testing can pinpoint an individual's disease-causing mutation and help individuals qualify for clinical trials (see "The Importance of Genetic Testing").
Research studies: Some clinical studies are not used to test a treatment or device but instead follow patients over time in order to better understand how a disease develops or how to treat it. These observational or natural history studies are especially important for rare diseases, which tend to be poorly understood.
The knowledge gained through observational studies may be used to determine how to detect or diagnose a disease, or to optimize testing procedures for future trials.
Research studies also have specific criteria for enrollment, based on the condition they are studying.
Disease registries: Disease registries collect health information from people with certain diseases. Registries make that information (without names or other personal details) available to researchers who can look at it to see how a disease affects various populations or how people are responding to certain treatments. The more people involved in a disease registry and the more data available, the more useful it is to researchers.
Registry data can also help improve future clinical trial design and help identify potential participants for upcoming studies.
Different types of registries collect different information, but most focus on one or a few diseases.
Tissue banks: A number of tissue banks store samples of blood, muscle, skin, spinal fluid, and other clinical specimens from people with neuromuscular diseases. These samples can be collected with consent during scheduled office visits or surgeries, or after death with the family's consent. Donated tissue samples can be used by qualified scientists for research purposes.
Tissue banks can be extremely valuable to researchers when it is difficult to procure samples from a large number of patients, such as in the case of rare diseases.
For example, the Stanford Neuromuscular Biobank "has supported many different neuromuscular research programs around the world, helping scientists better understand the biology behind these conditions in order to improve the lives of patients," says Katharine A. Hagerman, PhD, a research scientist who manages the bank along with neuroscientist John W. Day, MD, PhD.
Clinical trials and research studies generally are the most involved forms of research, often requiring office visits, medical tests, or extensive surveys.
Participating in disease registries might involve providing health information on a regular basis. Or, as in the case of MDA's MOVR Data Hub, you may simply opt in to have information from your clinical visits combined, in a safe and confidential way, with data from others living with the same disease.
Your care team might ask if you're interested in donating samples to a tissue bank during a regular office visit or before a procedure. If they don't, you can ask your doctor about sharing samples with a tissue bank. Some tissue banks ask you to contact them and fill out a questionnaire, as they are looking for specific types of samples. They may then contact you with instructions for collecting and donating your sample.
A rewarding experience
Chris Anselmo, a 33-year-old Westbrook, Conn., resident, lives with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) type 2B, also called Miyoshi myopathy or dysferlinopathy. From 2013 to 2016, he took part in a natural history study called the Clinical Outcome Study for Dysferlinopathy, sponsored by the Jain Foundation. Researchers tracked his disease progression over time.
Participating was intense. Over three years, Chris made a series of clinical visits where he underwent physical tests, such as bloodwork, a skin biopsy, two MRIs, and several strength tests, and answered questions about his disease progression, such as whether he had fallen since his last visit.
"It was very taxing, and I was exhausted by the end," he says. "It was also difficult because I could see myself getting weaker from visit to visit, but they needed to track this to see how my disease progressed year to year."
The goal of collecting this information from Chris and others with the same condition was to determine the best biomarkers and strength tests to use for potential future clinical trials. "This way, they know what to test and how to measure if a therapy is working," he says.
Despite the hardships, Chris says the experience was rewarding. "There aren't many of us with this disease, so I knew my efforts were needed," he says. "Without this data, it is much harder for a company to find a therapy for my condition. It felt good to contribute in some positive way toward research that may one day lead to a therapy."

While it's important to do your own research, the amount of information available on the internet can be overwhelming. Working through your MDA Care Center and care providers often is the best way to learn about the opportunities to participate in research that are available to you.
The MDA Resource Center can also answer questions and guide you to resources. Contact us at 833-ASK-MDA1.
MDA's MOVR Data Hub
Currently, people who see their physicians through MDA Care Centers may be able to elect to have their clinical information shared in a safe and confidential way through the MOVR (neuroMuscular ObserVational Research) Data Hub for future research opportunities.
The MOVR Data Hub collects information from people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), some forms of muscular dystrophy, and other neuromuscular diseases to help scientists better understand how the conditions affect people and what treatments are effective. MOVR also helps researchers identify individuals who may qualify for clinical trials.
MDA plans to expand MOVR to include more neuromuscular diseases and increase the number of locations that compile this information. Stay tuned for updates on this ambitious project at mda.org/movr.

Thread: Can you integrate TS3 with vbulletin?
I would like to link up the vbulletin user ranks into TS3 using their accounts. Is this possible? Where should i go/ask to find a solution for this?
Basically, they have little ranks next to their name that corresponds to their forum posts rank, and i update them manually. I'd like for teamspeak to be able to auto change them as they increase rank on the forums. Thx.
For this you need to write a function and create more than one server group. Then you can use the server commands to change the ranks. However, this is relatively mind-challenging. I personally can not do it. But I have an idea how it could go!
each rank has a server group in teamspeak 3. And im not sure how vbulletin does it, it just gives them a new rank everytime they get 25 posts.
I dont think it is possible. You would have to have something that is watching the SQL of the BBS and then when a rank changes sends a command to the server.
But to look at another point of view if you had a plugin on your client that checked your BBS' SQL with readonly access(KEY TO DETERING SNIFFING PROGRAMS FROM GETTING YOUR ROOT SQL) every few minutes and had a message queueing system(a system that sets up a line of operations to do in order and with a given delay.. This would be to keep from crashes and lags due to inputting server commands all at one time) and use that to update it then that might be a solution.
You could also have it as a normal program on your desktop seperate from TS# plugin interfacing.
I cant do it.. But that might be the way to go. But you have to remember security percations... so research in programming and internet security will be needed.. So you dont get packet sniffed or otherwise.
BTW vbulletin does it by totaling post counts that is stored in the SQL database.. you have a set parameter in your vbulletin as to how many posts are needed for a rank. Or if it is a special rank. PHPBB has this as well.
Ultimately it shouldn't be too difficult I don't think.
As mentioned, vB keeps track of peoples post counts already. If you had a PHP script (or application really), you could set that on a CRON/Scheduled task to check every X minutes/hours.
Obviously that's just pseudo-code but the basic idea. You might not even have to check to see if someone already has an icon if you can't add the same icon more than once (no idea if you can or can't).
with some modifications im sure it's possible.. going to look into that one and see if there's much code to change.

LastGenre Plugin
================

The MusicBrainz database `does not contain genre information`_. Therefore, when
importing and autotagging music, beets does not assign a genre.  The
``lastgenre`` plugin fetches *tags* from `Last.fm`_ and assigns them as genres
to your albums and items. The plugin is included with beets as of version
1.0b11.

.. _does not contain genre information:
    http://musicbrainz.org/doc/General_FAQ#Why_does_MusicBrainz_not_support_genre_information.3F
.. _Last.fm: http://last.fm/

The plugin requires `pylast`_, which you can install using `pip`_ by typing::

    pip install pylast

After you have pylast installed, enable the plugin by putting ``lastgenre`` on
your ``plugins`` line in :doc:`config file </reference/config>`.

The plugin chooses genres based on a *whitelist*, meaning that only certain
tags can be considered genres. This way, tags like "my favorite music" or "seen
live" won't be considered genres. The plugin ships with a fairly extensive
internal whitelist, but you can set your own in the config file using the
``whitelist`` configuration value::

    lastgenre:
        whitelist: /path/to/genres.txt

The genre list file should contain one genre per line. Blank lines are ignored.
For the curious, the default genre list is generated by a `script that scrapes
Wikipedia`_.

.. _pip: http://www.pip-installer.org/
.. _pylast: http://code.google.com/p/pylast/
.. _script that scrapes Wikipedia: https://gist.github.com/1241307

If no genre is found, the file will be left unchanged. To instead specify a
fallback genre, use the ``fallback`` configuration option. You can, of
course, use the empty string as a fallback, like so::

    lastgenre:
        fallback: ''

Canonicalization
----------------

The plugin can also *canonicalize* genres, meaning that more obscure genres can
be turned into coarser-grained ones that are present in the whitelist. This
works using a tree of nested genre names, represented using `YAML`_, where the
leaves of the tree represent the most specific genres.

To enable canonicalization, set the ``canonical`` configuration value::

    lastgenre:
        canonical: ''

Setting this value to the empty string will use a built-in canonicalization
tree. You can also set it to a path, just like the ``whitelist`` config value,
to use your own tree.

.. _YAML: http://www.yaml.org/

Genre Source
------------

When looking up genres for albums or individual tracks, you can choose whether
to use Last.fm tags on the album, the artist, or the track. For example, you
might want all the albums for a certain artist to carry the same genre. Set the
``source`` configuration value to "album", "track", or "artist", like so::

    lastgenre:
        source: artist

The default is "album". When set to "track", the plugin will fetch *both*
album-level and track-level genres for your music when importing albums.

Running Manually
----------------

In addition to running automatically on import, the plugin can also run manually
from the command line. Use the command ``beet lastgenre [QUERY]`` to fetch
genres for albums matching a certain query.

To disable automatic genre fetching on import, set the ``auto`` config option
to false.
