For the award for British space achievement, see Sir Arthur Clarke Award.
The Arthur C. Clarke Award is a British award given for the best science fiction novel first published in the United Kingdom during the previous year. It is named after British author Arthur C. Clarke, who gave a grant to establish the award in 1987. The book is chosen by a panel of judges from the British Science Fiction Association, the Science Fiction Foundation, and a third organisation, which as of 2019[update] is the Sci-Fi-London film festival. The award has been described as "the UK's most prestigious science fiction prize".
Any "full-length" science fiction novel written or translated into English is eligible for the prize, provided that it was first published in the United Kingdom during the prior calendar year. There is no restriction on the nationality of the author, and the publication history of works outside the United Kingdom is not taken into consideration. Books may be submitted for consideration by their publishing company, and beginning in 2016 self-published titles have been eligible with certain qualifications. An official call for entries is issued to UK publishers every year and members of the judging panel and organisation committee also actively call in titles they would like to see submitted. A title must be actively submitted in order to be considered. The judges form a shortlist of six works that they feel are worthy of consideration, from which they select a winning book. The winner receives an engraved bookend and a prize consisting of a number of pounds sterling equal to the current year, such as £2012 for the year 2012. Prior to 2001, the award was £1000.
During the 32 nomination years, 125 authors have had works nominated, 27 of whom have won. China Miéville has won three times, while Pat Cadigan and Geoff Ryman have won twice; no other author has won multiple times. Stephen Baxter and Gwyneth Jones have the most nominations at seven, and Baxter has the most nominations without winning. Neal Stephenson has won once out of six nominations; Ken MacLeod and Kim Stanley Robinson have also been nominated six times. Paul J. McAuley and Miéville have been nominated five times; McAuley has one win, whereas MacLeod and Robinson have none.
In the following table, the years correspond to the date of the ceremony, rather than when the novel was first published. Each year links to the corresponding "year in literature". Entries with a blue background and an asterisk (*) next to the writer's name have won the award; those with a white background are the other nominees on the shortlist.

The Steve Kerr Effect
"Kerr's accomplishments is a reflection of the Golden State Warriors' successful regular season in which individual and team records are set almost monthly. The No. 1 seeded team set new franchise records in March with 61 home wins and 27 road wins, with the Splash Brothers, Thompson and Curry, continuing to shatter scoring rap-sheets."
After laying the foundation during his two-season tenure from 2012-14, Golden State Warriors' previous head coach Mark Jackson was one season away from being in his shoes. Jackson led the Warriors to their first back-to-back playoff appearance after being absent since 2007 – a big jump from four consecutive seasons below .500.
Once Golden State parted ways with Jackson in 2014, a winning franchise with rising stars in Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson was up for grabs. The Warriors road to success was almost inevitable, all they needed was a suit to run it.
With his 63rd win Saturday evening over the Dallas Mavericks, the Golden State Warriors' new head coach Steve Kerr is now acknowledged as the most winningest rookie coach in NBA history.
Kerr beat out Tom Thibodeau (2010-11 Chicago Bulls) and Paul Westphal (1992-93 Phoenix Suns) who were tied in first place at 62 wins a piece. Kerr joins them as the only coaches to surpass 60 wins in their first season.
Coming off winning the NBA Western Conference Coach of the Month for January and March, Kerr became the first Warriors head coach to win the award twice in the same season. Kerr and former coach Don Nelson, who won the award in 1989 and 2007, are the only Warrior coaches to accomplish this feat multiple times.
Leading the NBA in three-point percentage, points per game, point differential and assists, the Warriors have become a threat for any potential playoff team despite their inexperience and the presence of a big- time veteran.
This year's post-season appearance will make three consecutive bids into the playoffs for the Warriors, the first time since the 1974-77 era. Nelson was only able to lead the Warriors to back–to–back trips in his six year coaching tenure (1988-94) despite having players like Tim Hardaway and rookie Chris Webber.
Kerr's coaching season is just another notch to add to his belt. Though he has worn many hats since the day he stepped on a hardwood floor, this endeavor could arguably be regarded as Kerr's most successful even with his contribution to the Jordan-era Chicago Bulls and being one of the most accurate three-point shooters in NCAA history.

You are here: Home / Lyme Disease Resources
Tips for Avoiding Lyme Disease:
When you are outside, here are some recommendations to help prevent Lyme disease.
Try to avoid tall grass and dense vegetation.
Walk in the middle of mowed trails, if possible.
Keep your lawn cut and your underbrush thinned.
Get rid of areas where rodents may like to live.
Wear light-colored clothing so that ticks are easier to see.
Tuck your pants into socks; tuck shirt into pants. Pull hair back.
Wear long-sleeved shirts buttoned at the wrists.
Check every 4 to 6 hours for ticks. Don't forget children and pets.
Use a tick repellent that contains 30 percent DEET to exposed skin.
Pre-treat clothes with .5 percent permethrin, an insecticide that both kills and repels ticks.
Investigate tick control methods for your pets.
Lyme disease is a bacterial spirochete, named Borrelia burgdorferi, transmitted by ticks and may be accompanied by several co-infections. Lyme disease is growing at four times the rate of AIDS and is quickly becoming our nation's most misdiagnosed and fastest-growing infectious disease. Estimates state that only one out of every ten cases of Lyme disease is reported and that many people are misdiagnosed. Over 38,000 cases reported by the CDC in 2009 are more likely estimated to represent over 380,000 cases. Lyme disease may be difficult to diagnose, because many of its symptoms mimic those of other disorders like multiple sclerosis, arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus and Alzheimer's disease. In addition, the only distinctive hallmark unique to Lyme disease, the "bulls-eye" rash, is absent in almost half of the people who become infected. The inadequacies of today's laboratory tests make proper diagnosis difficult, because they were meant for surveillance purposes rather than diagnosis. Misdiagnosis of the infection can lead to protracted disease that is difficult to treat.
Lyme disease can attack virtually any system in the body. Some of the first symptoms may include a rash and flu-like conditions including but not limited to fever, chills, headache, stiff neck, achiness and fatigue. Other symptoms can include pain in various joints and muscles, neurological problems, heart involvement, changes in vision or hearing, migraines, low-grade fever and other symptoms. Lyme disease, if left untreated, is far more difficult to treat because the infection can spread to other parts of the body.
People and Congress Need to be Educated, Something Needs to be Done
It has been over sixteen years since the U.S. Congress has investigated Lyme disease, its diagnosis, treatment, and the issues surrounding its late-stage form. Lyme disease bills have been introduced repeatedly, but none have passed. One of NatCapLyme's goals is to raise awareness and request a new congressional hearing to enable our legislators to facilitate unbiased research. Pam Weintraub clearly states this need in Cure Unknown, "…If we are ever to unravel the mysteries of Lyme disease and find a cure, it is science— pure and unadulterated—that will lead us home." The releases of the documentary film Under our Skin and the book Cure Unknown present the Lyme community with an unprecedented opportunity to educate our federal elected officials about the disease and the incredible toll it takes in human suffering.
Recently Released Institute of Medicine (IOM) Report on Lyme Disease
April 28, 2011 By loudounlyme Leave a Comment (Edit)
Contact: Monte Skall (703) 821 8833
natcaplyme@natcaplyme.org
Washington, DC – Thursday, April 21, 2011. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) released their report on April 20, 2011, on "The Critical Needs and Gaps in Understanding Prevention, Amelioration and Resolution of Lyme and Other Tick-Borne Diseases." The report confirmed what Lyme patients have known for years – that Lyme disease is a serious illness, and significant gaps remain in our understanding of the disease.
At the request of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the IOM was entrusted to plan and hold a two-day workshop to assess the state of the science of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. A committee was formed, which provided a forum for broad scientific and public input, and produced a summary report on the critical needs and gaps in research.
Although we share the concern with many in the Lyme community that treatment was not included in this workshop, we are pleased that other critical themes were addressed. The National Capital Lyme Disease Association (NatCapLyme) would like to thank the IOM for completing this arduous task with integrity within the guidelines they were charged to respect.
Pamela Weintraub's powerful presentation at the IOM workshop last October made a notable impression on the IOM Committee. In its preface, the IOM Committee wrote: "Pamela Weintraub spoke eloquently about her personal experience and her family's challenges with Lyme Disease." Echoing Pamela Weintraub's call for research, the IOM report states that "a new environment of trust and a better environment for more constructive dialogue [is required] to help focus research needs and achieve better outcomes."
We commend the IOM for so effectively establishing the convergence of science with real-life situations and highlighting both the need for more scientific knowledge and the serious societal challenges that need to be addressed.
Importantly, the IOM Committee noted that "the burden of disease is a growing concern." The Committee recognized that "tick-borne diseases (TBDs) represent some of the world's most rapidly expanding arthropod-borne infectious diseases, yet significant gaps remain in our understanding and knowledge about them." Some of the themes discussed in the IOM report suggesting greater emphasis and more research are:
A national integrated research plan for advancing the science on tick-borne diseases;
A long-term study of Lyme disease and other TBD patients; Educational programs for the public;
The current status of diagnostic tests and biomarkers for tick-borne diseases;
Biorepositories for tick-borne diseases; Biological understanding of persistent symptoms;
The impact of coinfection in severity of human TBDs;
The role of immune response to tick-borne infection and its effect on bacterial load and disease manifestations;
Animal models that explore mechanisms of pathogen persistence following antibiotic treatment.
A diverse group of scientists and physicians with expertise in tick-borne infections discussed a breadth of scientific topics. Some profound insights shared by several of these presenters include:
"Science is not belief, but the will to find out" (Benjamin J. Luft, M.D.)
"Everyone is studying the early stage of this infection, no one is studying the persistent phase of this infection." (Stephen Barthold, D.V.M., Ph.D.)
"You do not require an antibody response to develop this disease" (Janis J.Weis, Ph.D.)
"Treat the patient, not the test" (Juan Olano, M.D.)
"[For the child] long-term effects last 50-70 years" (Richard F. Jacobs, M.D.)
"…the poor understanding of the true incidence and geographical distribution…I don't think we have a clue" (Richard F. Jacobs, M.D.)
"How can you say, 'I've treated you for four weeks and therefore you no longer have Lyme disease.' The fact is, we don't know!" (Sam T. Donta, M.D.)
"Under-powered studies which purport to demonstrate universal efficacy need to be viewed with circumspection" (Sam T. Donta, M.D.)
"All that shouting drowns out all the complexity and the nuance and the work that needs to be done" (Pamela Weintraub, senior editor at Discover magazine, and author of Cure Unknown: Inside the Lyme Epidemic)
In addition to thanking all the presenters, we want to express our gratitude to the Lyme community for supporting our effort to see this workshop through. The thousands of Lyme patients who responded to our surveys and allowed their stories to be shared in "The Human Dimension of Lyme and Other Tick-Borne Diseases: The Patient's Perspective," the NatCapLyme paper commissioned by the IOM, provided a valuable contribution to the IOM workshop and report. http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2011/Critical-Needs-and-Gaps-in-Understanding-Prevention-Amelioration-and-Resolution-of-Lyme-and-Other-Tick-Borne-Diseases.aspx (p. A-67)
We strongly urge each of you to continue the process that IOM initiated by reading the IOM report so that you can extract from these works what is beneficial to your specific case in your quest to achieve wellness and to overcome the negative effects of Lyme disease. http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2011/Critical-Needs-and-Gaps-in-Understanding-Prevention-Amelioration-and-Resolution-of-Lyme-and-Other-Tick-Borne-Diseases.aspx
The IOM workshop brings us another step closer to improving the lives of Lyme patients and their families who have been profoundly impacted by tick-borne infections, and who have been caught in the crossfire of opposing views for such a long time. The next logical step is collaboration between all stake holders to fill in the gaps uncovered in this workshop concerning diagnosis, addressing the topic of treatment, and the need for a consistency of language in discussing Lyme disease. "Medical progress should no longer be impeded by the polarizing controversy that has characterized Lyme disease research in the past. The dialogue must continue and encourage mutually respectful collaboration across scientific disciplines and among researchers, clinicians and patients, even when view points differ, if we are to make progress." (Gregg Skall, Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, PLLC)
We implore Congress to fund and the IOM to convene a second workshop that would address research needs for effective treatment for persistent Lyme disease.

Lyme Disease Facts
Lyme is a spirochetal infection of multiple organ systems, causing a wide range of symptoms that mimic other diseases
Fewer than half of Lyme patients recall a tick bite or a rash
Treatment varies depending on how early a diagnosis is made. Long-standing disseminated disease may require longer and repeated treatment
No tests are available that prove a patient is cured


This manual is based on the most recent CPR, AED, and First Aid guidelines published by the American Heart Association and is designed to train people everywhere to respond to everyday emergencies.
CPR, AED, and First Aid Provider Handbook, presented by National Health Care Provider Solutions (NHCPS), is a comprehensive resource intended for health care professionals and non healthcare professionals currently enrolled in a CPR, AED, and First Aid Certification or Recertification Course. It serves as the primary training material for CPR, AED, and First Aid Certification and Recertification courses provided by National Health Care Provider Solutions (www.nhcps.com). Although it is predominantly intended for use during certification courses, the handbook was also created to serve as daily reference material for both health care professionals and non-health care professionals alike.
This manual is based on the most recent CPR, AED, and First Aid guidelines published by the American Heart Association and is designed to train people everywhere to respond to everyday emergencies. It covers First Aid basics, including first aid kits, tooth injuries, bee stings, insect bites, nose bleeds and other common problems. Advanced topics include heart attack, stroke, asthma emergencies, head injuries, burns and more. Each topic is broken down into critical decisions to make and steps to take. This book will give you the confidence you need in situations that range from minor to crisis. The book also covers how to provide adult, child, and infant CPR, as well as use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs).
This book is really helpful for students like me, clear and concise.
So glad I found this book, it really helped a lot in my studies. Thanks a lot!
I love this book! This was my guide to pass CPR and I am still using it as reference.
This is one of the best first aid guides I have read. I was looking for a book that would give me with the standard steps I would need to take for a first aid applicable situation. This was just what I was looking for. The second section provides answers to medical problems such as breathing problems and stroke and what to do if in that situation. I am so thrilled I got this book and would recommended this to anyone looking for a easy to read guide on first aid.

Uneven Growth as Region Revives
Silicon Valley, San Francisco See Employment Rise, but East Bay, Other Areas Struggle; Tech Industry Is the Key Factor
By Pui-Wing Tam
The Bay Area economy is recovering despite a weak national rebound, but the shape of the revival across the region is uneven, according to new research.
A city-by-city analysis of employment and unemployment data by research firm Collaborative Economics found that the cities in Silicon Valley's core pulled out the fastest from the recession, with San Francisco also showing some tentative signs of a job recovery. But other cities—particularly in the East Bay—continue to report job losses.
"There's great diversity in the Bay Area," said Tracey Grose, director of research at Collaborative Economics. "There are some cities that fare well next door to those that don't. The question is whether there will be a spreading of the wealth."
Overall, the Bay Area slumped into recession later than the rest of nation and now is emerging more quickly from the weakness than elsewhere, said Ms. Grose. Her survey concentrates on employment, a key economic indicator, but doesn't take into account other signs of economic health such as construction starts, business incorporations and tax revenue.
Unemployment in the Bay Area dropped to 10.1% in September from 11.3% a year ago, lower than California's rate of 11.4%, according to Collaborate Economics and the state's Employment Development Department. And while Bay Area unemployment remains higher than the national figure of 8.8%, the national rate hasn't dropped as quickly over the same period.
Still, a dive into the data shows that several Silicon Valley cities—particularly San Jose, Sunnyvale, Mountain View and Palo Alto—showed the biggest jumps in the employment level between August 2009 and August 2011.
At the same time, those cities also had the most sustained declines in the percentage of residents receiving unemployment benefits, according to Collaborative Economics' analysis.
San Francisco also notched some modest employment gains between August 2009 and 2011, though the numbers aren't as strong as in the South Bay.
Meanwhile, the East Bay's Richmond, Vallejo, Fremont, Oakland and Hayward continued to show declines in the employment level. Between August 2010 and August 2011, the employment level in Vallejo fell 1.76%, the worst of any city in the Bay Area, even as San Francisco's rose 0.38% and San Jose's increased 2.7%, according to Collaborative Economics.
The divide is evident at career resource center ProMatch in Sunnyvale and the Alameda County Workforce Investment Board in Hayward. Last year, ProMatch had a five-month waiting list of job seekers who wanted to use the center's services. Now there is "virtually no waiting list" and "people are getting multiple job offers," said Connie Brock, who helps run ProMatch.
But across the Bay, the Alameda County Workforce Investment Board's six job centers are seeing little change in visitor traffic, said interim assistant director Linda Slater. Last year, about 10,500 new members signed up to use the centers and they visited about 53,000 times, she said. This year, "so far we've seen about the same" activity, said Ms. Slater.
Driving the differing recovery outcomes is one overriding factor, say economists: the technology industry. Large tech companies such as Apple Inc. and Google Inc. have been on a recruiting tear, while start-up hiring has also been brisk, fueled by the likes of Facebook Inc. Most of that activity is concentrated in South Bay cities such as Mountain View, Cupertino and mid-peninsula in Palo Alto, with pockets of it also appearing in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood where Twitter Inc. and Zynga Inc. are based.
The East Bay lacks such a tech presence and instead features a more diversified set of employers, from health-care providers to clean-technology companies. According to figures compiled by the Alameda County Workforce Investment Board, 2,093 workers have been let go in mass layoffs by employers in the county so far this year—including the recent shutdown of Fremont-based solar company Solyndra LLC—more than the 1,536 affected by mass layoffs for all of 2010.
"The Bay Area recovery is a tech recovery," said Stephen Levy, an economist at the Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy.
Some economists worry about the implications of a divided recovery. Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network, an organization of business, government and academics focused on Silicon Valley issues, has previously warned of a bifurcated society here where there are two extremes: the very wealthy and the poor, with little middle ground.
But Christopher Thornberg, an economist at Beacon Economics, said the tech revival will eventually broaden. Techies working in Silicon Valley's center but who may live in the East Bay or further south will at some point look for new homes, he said, providing a boost to industries like construction. "The spillover will take some time to kick in" but he expects it to happen, he said.
Spreading the recovery will be workers such as Daniel Nguyen. The 47-year-old resident of Gilroy said he was laid off in December from contract manufacturer Flextronics International Ltd. in Milpitas. In August, he landed a job as a supply-chain manager with remote-systems start-up Suitable Technologies of Palo Alto.
Mr. Nguyen said he is better compensated at Suitable than at Flextronics. While he declined to reveal details, he said the new job has allowed him to open the purse strings more in Gilroy and elsewhere. Recently, he's been out in San Francisco with friends and family for dinner and shows, among other things.
"The way it was looking [with jobs] earlier this year was pretty gloomy," said Mr. Nguyen. "Now I'm able to do normal things again, like go out to dinner."

Yes, I took the picture myself near our home here in Nottingham. In fact, I took about twenty, and I am sure that the men did not notice me. On the other hand, the people who carry out road works here in Britain have a motto of "Slow and steady"!

GPRS Mobile Network for Smart Metering
Around the world, the electricity supply industry is turning to 'smart' meters to lower costs, reduce emissions and improve the management of customer supplies. Smart meters collect detailed consumption information and using this feedback consumers can better understand their energy usage which in turn enables them to modify their consumption to save money and help to cut carbon emissions. A smart meter can be defined in many ways, but generally includes an element of two-way communication between the household meter and the utility provider to efficiently collect detailed energy usage data. Some implementations include consumer feedback beyond the energy bill to include online web data, SMS text messages or an information display in consumers' premises. Providing a cost-effective, reliable communications mechanism is one of the most challenging aspects of a smart meter implementation. In New Zealand, the utilities have embraced smart metering and designed cost effective ways for it to be implemented. The New Zealand government has encouraged such a move to smart metering by ensuring the energy legislation is consistent with the delivery of benefits to the consumer while allowing innovation in this area. On the ground, AMS is a leader in the deployment of smart metering and associated services. Several of New Zealand's energy retailers were looking for smart metering services for their residential and small business customers which will eventually account for over 500,000 meters when the multi-year national deployment program is concluded. To respond to these requirements, AMS needed to put together a solution that included data communications between each meter and the central data collection point and the solution proposed by Vodafone satisfied that requirement.
Microlise Drives Vehicle Telemetry Solutions
Microlise is among only a handful of players in the Transport Management Systems space that offer a one stop solution and service capability. Its investment in research and development needs to be underpinned by a robust, global connectivity platform, enabling the reliable transmission of data from vehicles to customers.
Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location."With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe," says Franco."The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.""One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations."
Somfy Evolves Home Automation with Vodafone IoT
TaHoma® is a wireless, multi-protocol service with a single intuitive interface which brings together all the devices installed in a house and allows users to control them from a smartphone, tablet or computer. For many residences, Internet access using fibre or digital subscriber line (DSL) infrastructure may be not be available due to location, or simply not installed due to second and third homes not being occupied for a large part of the year.
Helping Enexis Power Ahead with Smart Meter Rollout
Enexis is an independent grid operator and one of the largest energy distributors in the Netherlands. Working with energy suppliers, it manages 2 million gas and 2.6 million electricity connections to customers in seven provinces, representing approximately one third of the Dutch market. In 2008, a European Union (EU) directive stipulated that 80% of energy customers must be able to monitor energy consumption by 2020. The Dutch government responded by making a legal requirement for energy operators to install smart metering technology in homes. To meet these targets, Enexis will need to deploy approximately 5 million smart meters, each transmitting energy consumption data once a day, every day. Since 2011, Enexis no longer installs conventional meters, every new meter installed in the grid is a smart meter. This means that during the first few years of rollout, smart meters are installed across the grid. To achieve this, Enexis had several options. Routing data via Power Line Connections (PLC) was impractical because, to work effectively, entire districts would have to install smart meters simultaneously. With the initial rollout limited to replacing faulty meters and new installations, this was not viable. Transmitting data via WiFi, another option, would mean home owners needing a guaranteed connection. "Because we install smart meters that are scattered across our distribution network, the most effective solution was GPRS over M2M SIMs," says Lonneke Driessen-Mutters, Smart Metering Operations Manager at Enexis. M2M SIMs installed in smart meters would be able to transmit data via Vodafone's comprehensive mobile coverage in the Netherlands, with no homeowner involvement and minimum installation effort. Enexis invited a number of mobile communications suppliers in the Netherlands to tender. After careful consideration, Vodafone was selected based on cost and service commitments. In addition, Enexis already had a relationship with Vodafone, as they provide approximately 3,000 of the company's voice and data connections, so they knew the service they could expect. "We're owned by local government, so our money is public money. The solution had to be cost effective as we have to be careful what we spend," says Driessen-Mutters.
Connecting Cows to Save the Lives of Calves with MooCall
The idea for the Moocall calving sensor came about when one of the Moocall founding team, Niall Austin lost a heifer and her calf due to a difficult calving back in 2010. He had a theory that a device to measure tail movement might be able to predict the onset of calving and brought the idea to the other Moocall founders Michael Stanley and Emmet Savage. After many months of research and development the MooCall device was born, however they needed robust and reliable, global connectivity with roaming capability to ensure that this critical data could be transferred the crucial moment. Vodafone IoT worked closely with MooCall to implement a solution that works seamlessly every time, wherever the cow might be situated.
Ecolibrium Energy Helps Reduce India's Energy Wastage
Ecolibrium's SmartSense solution connects sensors to energy infrastructure within a factory. It then sends energy consumption data, temperature and environmental data to a central platform. This data can be sent each minute, providing a near real-time view of energy consumption and analytics on where problems occur, what they are and recommendations on how to fix them. To work, each device needs robust connectivity that is simple to manage and consistent in pricing.
ASD Healthcare Delivers True Connected Care
ASD Healthcare's Cubixx connected refrigeration solution was initially aimed at larger hospitals and pharmacies, utilising Wi-Fi or local area networks (LAN) for connectivity. With phase two, Cubixx would be rolled out to smaller practices and patients homes. The issue for ASD Healthcare was finding a single connectivity provider to cover the entire U.S., and facilitate international expansion.
Energy Savings of Up to 40% with Energy Data Management solution
Faced with rising global energy costs, and determined to fulfil its obligation to minimise its carbon footprint, Vodafone decided it needed a solution that would manage the way it consumes energy more proactively. To get the intelligence and global scale that it needed, Vodafone soon discovered it would need to build the solution itself.
Underpins Expansion of UK Fire & Security System Leader
CSL invented integrated dual signalling back in 1996 and pioneered the move from wired to wireless technology in the electronic security industry. Today, its solutions protect over 350,000 premises throughout Europe. Working with Vodafone IoT the company is using its pedigree gained in the Fire & Security sector to move into new verticals where robust critical connectivity adds value to M2M/IoT applications.
Ekso Bionics Robotic Exoskeletons Improve Patient Mobility
Ekso Bionics products unlock human strength, endurance, and mobility potential, with broad applications across medical and industrial markets. One of their products is the robotic exoskeleton. This is a ready to wear, battery-powered robot that is strapped over the users' clothing, enabling individuals to achieve mobility, strength, or endurance not otherwise possible. In 2016, Ekso Bionics received the first FDA clearance exoskeleton for use with stroke and spinal cord injury levels to C7.
Increased Range and Flexibility for Custodia Systems Customers
Custodia Systems is a security consultancy based in the UK. It was founded in 2005 by Peter Thompson, a former Goldman Sachs technology and engineering lead, with start up capital of £4,000 (approximately €4,800). It is now the global distributor of Appello tracking devices and its products currently protect £150 million (€180 million) of construction machinery in the UK.The Appello device is a small, portable unit (no bigger than a smartphone) with a battery life of up to two years. It has no external wiring and cannot be located by scanning devices used by professional thieves like GPS (Global Positioning System) units.The device is hidden, for example among the engineering of a piece of plant machinery and sends out a regular signal to mark its present location. Worldwide, Custodia Systems claims 80% of stolen equipment is recovered and back with its owners within eight hours.To ensure consumer confidence and provide a competitive advantage, Custodia Systems needed a fail-safe communications infrastructure that needed to be international, reliable and as accurate as possible. In addition, to support the launch of the AppelloGEO – a new product that can be used globally – Custodia Systems needed a global platform and fixed price international tariffs.

Chance The Rapper Busts The Mold For Magnificent Coloring Day Festival
CurrentVerse PriorVerse
By: Brad Johnson
The culture of rap is about gain. Many MC's who start out writing about their lives, struggles, and relationships are usually talking about their gold watch by their next album.
But Chance the Rapper doesn't retreat into his fame. The 22 year old, Chicago-born artist has used his burgeoning fame as a platform to give back to his hometown, culminating with his own festival.
We won't just receive the standard one night stop on Chance's 'Magnificent Coloring World Tour', in support of his new album of the same name. He's giving his hometown a 'Magnificent Coloring Day' festival, which will begin on September 24th at the White Sox' U.S. Cellular Field.
Acts artists like Skrillex, John Legend, Alicia Keys, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Young Thug, Tyler, the Creator and a surprise "special guest" will be appearing. This festival is the latest instance of Chance the Rapper's devotion to provoking change in Chicago.
In May 2014 Chance (real name Chancellor Bennett) and his father launched the #SaveChicago social media campaign which resulted in 42 hours without a firearm related homicide in the city, and last year he teamed up with non-profit organisation The Empowerment Plan, to make self-heating, water-resistant jackets for the homeless (that can also be turned into sleeping bags).
In the same way that Kendrick Lamar uses his position to create discourse about the lives of African Americans, Chance the Rapper is using his clout to give back to the city that made him: raising money for schools, taking kids to museums, all while making powerful music.
Whoever the special guest is at Chance's festival, they will have a hard time trying to steal focus from this pioneering artist.

Molly McLaughlin
Molly McLaughlin is an Australian travel and culture writer. Her work has appeared in Lonely Planet, Fodor's Travel, Fashionista, and Refinery29.
From luxury hotels to family-run bed-and-breakfasts, Mexico City is full of unique accommodation experiences. In this huge and varied city, location matters, and the best hotels are located near top attractions and dining options.
The historic center of the city is home to a range of impressive colonial-style hotels while boutique offerings are dotted around the chic neighborhoods of Condesa and Roma to the southwest.
In Polanco, known for its luxury shopping and fine dining restaurants north of Chapultepec Forest, you'll find incredible views and high-end amenities while Coyoacán in the south has a more small-town feel.
Gran Hotel Ciudad de Mexico

Buy on Tripadvisor.com
This iconic hotel is located right on Mexico City's central plaza, known as the Zócalo. The building is more than 500 years old, originally serving as the residence of a colonial official before being transformed into the the first commercial center in Mexico in the late 1800s and then being reborn as the Gran Hotel in 1968.
With Art Nouveau architecture and a Tiffany stained-glass ceiling, the Gran Hotel offers traditional luxury, alongside some modern comforts like a gym and business center. The rooms are spacious, the service is impeccable, and weekend brunch at La Terraza restaurant is a must for spectacular vistas of the historic center. There are 59 rooms and suites available.
W Mexico City

At the other end of the spectrum, you'll find Mexico City's most on-trend hotel, the W. This boutique luxury hotel is not afraid to take design risks to stand out, with quirky lighting, intriguing sculptures, and bright colors throughout the building. There's a buzzing lounge area that functions as a combined cocktail bar and restaurant, plus a top-notch spa and fitness center.
Tucked away in a quiet corner of Polanco, the stylish rooms at the W look out over Chapultepec Forest or the city skyline with plenty of natural light. There are 237 rooms and suites available.
Condesa DF
Condesa DF is known as the hotel that started the boutique boom in Mexico City. The building itself dates back to 1928, but the hotel opened its doors in 2005. Although the surrounding neighborhood is one of Mexico City's trendiest, the hotel isn't painfully hipster; the decor (selected by India Mahdavi) feels warm and modern and the service is friendly.
A rooftop bar, movie theater, pool, and spa mean there is always a social atmosphere, while El Patio restaurant more than holds its own when it comes to Mexican-French fusion. The hotel is pet-friendly, and just across the road, you'll find Parque España, the perfect place to walk your four-legged friend. Condesa DF has 40 rooms.
La Valise Mexico City
Courtesy of La Valise
La Valise is a darling of Mexico City's boutique hotel scene, offering just three thoughtfully designed suites in hip Roma Norte. The La Terraza suite is the hotel's crown jewel with a king bed that rolls out onto the balcony. Monochrome colors, natural textures, and wood accents give the interior space an artsy vibe, while from the outside, it blends in with the neighborhood's colonial townhouses.
Although this small hotel lacks a dining room, room service can be ordered in from Rosetta, one of the city's most beloved restaurants. A personalized minibar is also offered for guests to enjoy throughout their stay.
El Patio 77
Courtesy of El Patio 77
For something a little more relaxed, try El Patio 77, a bed-and-breakfast designed with environmental sustainability in mind. Located in the eclectic neighborhood of San Rafael (just north of the Paseo de la Reforma), El Patio is housed within a 19th-century brick mansion, renovated to include solar power, rainwater catchment, and a gray water recycling system.
Although the location is slightly out of the way, El Patio makes up for that with a small art gallery and friendly staff who can offer plenty of tips on where to explore nearby. Each of the eight rooms is inspired by a different Mexican state and decorated with recycled furniture and local artwork.
Hotel Zócalo Central
Courtesy of Central Hoteles
The Hotel Zócalo Central is a late-1800s building filled with modern Mexican design. The hotel's location in the historic center of Mexico City means the rooms can be on the smaller side, but the luxury touches and impeccable cleanliness make for a very comfortable stay. Plus, the gym, 24-hour concierge, and cafe means guests have access to everything they need, around the clock.
Upstairs, the Balcon del Zócalo restaurant is one of the best in the city center, and breakfast is included in the room rate. In the evenings, there's often live music on the roof. The Zócalo Central has 105 rooms and suites.
St. Regis Mexico City
Courtesy of The St. Regis Mexico City
The sleek, 31-story St. Regis is perfectly situated between Chapultepec Forest, Condesa, and the Zona Rosa, in the heart of Mexico City. The luxurious suites are large and refined with floor-to-ceiling windows and marble bathrooms.
With seven dining options, 24/7 butler service, a spa, fitness center, infinity pool, and even a children's center, the hotel is popular with business travelers and tourists alike. The in-house King Cole Bar is one of the city's most sophisticated. There are 189 rooms available.
Las Alcobas
Courtesy of Las Alcobas
Located on Polanco's high-end shopping strip, Las Alcobas is surrounded by fashion houses, art galleries, bars, and restaurants. It is a small, intimate hotel with all the luxuries of a bigger establishment, including two popular restaurants, a fitness center, and a spa.
The rooms are elegant with traditional Mexican textiles and Italian linens sitting comfortably alongside high-tech amenities like rainfall showers and whirlpool tubs. The wake-up service, delivering complimentary coffee, tea, or a smoothie to the room, is a welcome addition. Las Alcobas has 35 rooms and suites available.
Another boutique offering in Condesa, AR 218 is surprisingly spacious and quiet. The design is tasteful but not showy with neutral colors, tiled floors, and dark wood contrasting with the white walls and high ceilings. Room service is not available, but there's a Starbucks downstairs, and the suites come with fully equipped kitchenettes.
Light sleepers can take advantage of the pillow menu, and the complimentary bicycle rental, gym, and business center, will keep both business and leisure travelers happy. AR 218 has 39 rooms.
Casa Tamayo
Courtesy of Casa Tamayo
For a local experience in the bohemian neighborhood of Coyoacán, check out Casa Tamayo Guesthouse. This is a family-run property, but what it lacks in facilities (no TV in the rooms, for example), it makes up for in charm. The house is decorated in traditional Mexican style with fresh flowers in every room.
Guests have access to the tranquil garden, kitchen, and living areas, as well as a small bar. Casa Tamayo is made up of five rooms, plus two suites with private terraces.

Q: Google Charts Tools - Scatter and Table Combo Interaction, why unidirectional? This is my first question on stack overflow.  I made a google chart tools scatter chart/table combination that is based on their examples.  When I click a row in the table, the corresponding point in the scatter is selected (that's good).  But it is not working in reverse. I cannot select a point in the scatter and have it select the corresponding row in the table.  Does anyone know why this does not work as expected?  my code is provided below:

A: Because getSelection() returns both the column and row for the scatter graph and just row for the table, there's a bit of a conflict. Turns out, if you just pass the row information from the scatter graph, you can indeed select the table row, you just need the following:
table.setSelection([{row: chart.getSelection()[0].row}]);

That takes the first item you've clicked on and passes an object with just row data.
Inspiration from here and working example here.

Q: Checking a line segment is within a distance from a point I have two points A and B that define a line segment on a device screen plus another point C. Using efficient and short algorithm that is easy to code (preferably using standard math library), how do I check if the line segment AB is within a distance R from C?
I know there is a simple way to find the shortest distance from a point to a line, but it assume the line is infinitely long. What I have is a line segment with two endpoints.
I considered posting this in Math SE but decided not to since I don't want to get all those long math formula as the answer like in https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2837/how-to-tell-if-a-line-segment-intersects-with-a-circle . What I need is an efficient and readable computer algorithm, not a formal math theorem.
p/s: I have the following Objective-C method skeleton that needs to be implemented:
typedef struct {
  CGPoint a;
  CGPoint b;
} CGLineSegment;

+ (BOOL)isLineSegment:(CGLineSegment)line withinRadius:(CGFloat)radius fromPoint:(CGPoint)point {

}

EDIT WITH SOLUTION:
thanks to answer from veredesmarald (which I already accepted) I've implemented the method, put here as reference for other people:
+ (BOOL)isLineSegment:(CGLineSegment)line withinRadius:(CGFloat)radius fromPoint:(CGPoint)point {
    CGPoint v = CGPointMake(line.b.x - line.a.x, line.b.y - line.a.y);
    CGPoint w = CGPointMake(point.x - line.a.x, point.y - line.a.y);
    CGFloat c1 = dotProduct(w, v);
    CGFloat c2 = dotProduct(v, v);
    CGFloat d;
    if (c1 <= 0) {
        d = distance(point, line.a);
    }
    else if (c2 <= c1) {
        d = distance(point, line.b);
    }
    else {
        CGFloat b = c1 / c2;
        CGPoint Pb = CGPointMake(line.a.x + b * v.x, line.a.y + b * v.y);
        d = distance(point, Pb);
    }
    return d <= radius;
}

CGFloat distance(const CGPoint p1, const CGPoint p2) {
    return sqrt(pow(p2.x - p1.x, 2) + pow(p2.y - p1.y, 2));
}

CGFloat dotProduct(const CGPoint p1, const CGPoint p2) {
    return p1.x * p2.x + p1.y * p2.y;
}

A: When I had to implement a method to determine the distance from a point to an interval for a graphics assignment, I found this page very informative: About Lines and Distance of a Point to a Line
In particular, the section Distance of a Point to a Ray or Segment should be of interest to you.
Pseudocode from the article (where · is dot product and d() is distance between two points):
distance( Point P, Segment P0:P1 )
{
      v = P1 - P0
      w = P - P0
      if ( (c1 = w·v) <= 0 )
            return d(P, P0)
      if ( (c2 = v·v) <= c1 )
            return d(P, P1)
      b = c1 / c2
      Pb = P0 + bv
      return d(P, Pb)
}

This method relies on the dot product to determine if the base of the perpendicular is within the interval, and if not which end point is closer.


Forty percent of people dread the car-buying process, but 90% end up saying they had a great experience at the auto dealership.
LAS VEGAS – For consumers, the car-buying process is stressful going in but great going out, according to pollster Frank Luntz.
He cites Luntz Group surveys in which 40% of people say they dread buying at a dealership, yet when all is said and done, 90% say they had an overall positive dealership experience.
"That should be addressed; there's no reason it should be that negative in the beginning and that positive in the end," he says in a keynote speech at the American Financial Services Assn.'s annual Vehicle Finance Conference tied to the National Automobile Dealers Assn. convention here.
His firm's polling covers a range of topics including what Americans want most for themselves and what words and phrases resonate with them. "Each of these go to automotive," he says of their relevance to auto retailing.
In people's most-wanted category are fewer hassles, more choices, more money, more time, a better lifestyle and a better work-life balance. The No.1 choice for men is more money; for women, more time.
Leading the list of what people say they want most for themselves is peace of mind (43%) followed by security (38%), love (35%) and success (24%).

Q: How to combine Dates/Time selected from Dropdowns to use in MySQL Query? I've got two sets of four dropdowns - startDate,startMonth,startYear,startTime (as 24.00) and the same for endDate/Time - for user to select a start date/time and an end date/time, but don't know how to get the selected values into a datetime format to use in a recordset query using javascript or preferably php(5).
I know I need to combine the selected into arrays such as:
//start and end Date/Time arrays from dropdowns - year,month,day and time without seconds
$startDT=$sYear.$sMonth.$sDay.' '.$sTime.':00';
$endDT =$eYear.$eMonth.$eDay.' '$eTime.':00';

but where and how do I use these so I can use them in a MySQL a query such as:
SELECT *
FROM availability
BETWEEN '%startDT%' AND '%endDT%'

The answer is probably very simple but after a lot of head scratching, hair pulling and excessive caffeine I just can't work it out...call it a blond moment!
I hope someone can help this suicidal newbie to php.

A: Combine your data into a string and use strtotime() to convert that to unixtime. Then save that unixtime data into your database.

How am I supposed to get it going? Again, the simplest way possible, please.

A: The error you get:
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'boost/config.hpp': No such file or directory

clearly indicates that boost header files (at least boost/config.hpp) are indirectly included by other headers you project requires, as such you need boost at least downloaded and added to include path.

Van values take a seasonal jump in September, says BCA
08/10/2015 in Used Cars
Average light commercial vehicle (LCV) values increased by 1.8% to £5,607 in September month-on-month, reversing a two month decline, according to the latest BCA Commercial Pulse report.
Despite rising volumes of stock continuing to reach the wholesale markets, BCA said increased levels of demand and competitive bidding saw values rise for fleet/lease, dealer part-exchange and nearly-new vans.
Fleet and lease values increased by £228, dealer part exchange stock rose by £32 to the highest point seen this year and the average value of nearly-new stock rose by £707, largely as a result of changing mix in a low volume sector.
Year-on-year values were ahead by £47 (0.8%), with the average van in 2015 being slightly younger but noticeably lower mileage, down by 5,000 miles at 75,000 miles.
Duncan Ward, BCA's LCV operations director, said: "We are now seeing the return of more typical market conditions with balanced supply and demand and elements of seasonality taking effect.
"The market was strong in September with average values increasing across the board and good levels of demand from buyers for well presented, good quality commercial vehicles."
Ward said, however, that BCA is continuing to see a large number of vehicles in poor condition and it is having a significant impact on price and conversion rates.
The difference in average value between a condition 5 and a condition 4 van is several hundred pounds and around 12 percentage points when compared to CAP.
Average conversion rates rise sharply as condition improves, underlining that condition equates directly with saleability and demand.
Average part-exchange LCV values rose for the second month running, up by £32 (0.8%) to £3,842 – the highest monthly value recorded this year. CAP average comparisons fell back by a point to 101.1% but remain ahead of the fleet & lease sector. Year-on-year values were ahead by £264 (7.3%), although CAP performance declined by three points over the year.
The fleet and lease sector recorded average values of £6,416 in September, an increase of £228 (3.6%) over August and the first monthly rise in values since March of this year. CAP performance rose marginally to 99.3% and retained value against MRP (Manufacturer Recommended Price) imoproved slightly to 33.95%. Year-on-year, values were down by £134 (2.0%), with performance against MRP down by more than two percentage points.
Nearly-new LCV values averaged £14,152 in September – an increase of £707 (5.2%) compared to August. As always, this has to be taken in the context of the very low volumes reaching the market and the model mix factor, as well as the continuing availability of 'new shape' models reaching the used market.

Q: How to persist a choice in a Xamarin Android alert dialog This dialog box displays correctly, except that the user's choice is not captured:
        var dialogView = LayoutInflater.Inflate(Resource.Layout.list_view, null);
        Android.App.AlertDialog alertDialog;
        var items = new string[] { "A","B","C" };
        var adapter = new ArrayAdapter<string>(this, Android.Resource.Layout.SimpleListItem1, items);
        using (var dialog = new Android.App.AlertDialog.Builder(this))
        {
            dialog.SetTitle("Choose Letter");
            dialog.SetMessage("Just Click!");
            dialog.SetView(dialogView);

            dialog.SetNegativeButton("Cancel", (s, a) => { });
            dialog.SetPositiveButton("OK", (s, a) => {
                {
                    if (a.Which!=-1)
                    //BUT I don't know how to persist the choice
                    //when I click on one of the letters, it briefly
                    //shows the choice (the background is briefly grayed
                    //but the choice doesn't persist
                    //so when I click OK, a.Which is -1
                    {
                        //do things with the choice
                    }

                }});
                    alertDialog = dialog.Create();
        }

            dialogView.FindViewById<ListView>(Resource.Id.listview).Adapter = adapter;
            alertDialog.Show();

    }

And this is the axml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

<ListView
    android:id="@+id/listview"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</LinearLayout>

How do I 1) show the user's choice more than the line being briefly grayed and 2) how do I persist that choice?

A: Do you want to achieve the result like following GIF?

If so, you can create a ListItem to replace the Android.Resource.Layout.SimpleListItem1
Here is my ListItem
var adapter = new ArrayAdapter<string>(this, Resource.Layout.list_item, items);
list_item
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/text1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/mybackground"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:padding="3dp"
android:textSize="20sp"
 />

mybackground
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item android:drawable="@android:color/background_light"
 android:state_pressed="false" android:state_selected="false"/>
<item android:drawable="@android:color/background_dark"
 android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@color/light_blue" android:state_pressed="false"
  android:state_selected="true"/>

And achieve the listview.ItemClick += Listview_ItemClick;
 private void Listview_ItemClick(object sender, AdapterView.ItemClickEventArgs e)
    {

        e.View.Selected = true;

    }

Here is my demo.

Hey everyone, I'm Gia Viggiano and attend Trinity Episcopal Church in Galveston. My group is working at Iglesias Ascension, a church being re-built by the Diocese of Costa Rica, and we're mainly doing the 'final touches' before the 'Final touches'.
Some things we did today at the worksite were sifting a lot of dirt, mixing concrete, moving supplies around, jammed out to some good country/Spanish/pop music and continued learning Spanish and teaching some English. I really enjoyed our lunch and daily three o'clock coffee break today, mainly because we got to bond with some of the workers by playing cards and working together. One worker, as we like to call him 'Don Juan', was sitting with us and was telling us (through Steven, our personal translation device) how he enjoys working with us and teaching us how to do things that could help us back in America. What stood out and was very special to me was when he used me as an example, saying how he likes to include the girls in on the tough jobs, like how he taught me to pour concrete out of the big, giant, scary blue thing into a wheel barrel without me breaking my hand and spilling concrete everywhere. By hearing him say that, I definitely saw and encountered an act of Jesus through Don Juan and see an impact on my life and my fellow group members lives. We all also may or may not have teared up a bit (ok, we definitely did).
Being in Costa Rica has extremely impacted me in other ways, and some being the culture. I have expanded my Spanish vocabulary, eaten foods that I have never even heard of before, and seen and experienced things that I don't see regularly in Galveston/America. I also feel like I have had at least some of an impact on the community. Some of the things that I have personally done that I feel are impactful are sanding the lectern for Ascension and helping teach Don Juan and a few other workers some English. By this morning, Don Juan was able to say 'Hello', 'How are you', 'I am fine', and a few others that are really impressive for only one day of learning your basic from American teens/adults.
Before I conclude this blog, I would like to mention that I am trying to include my friend who had to leave this morning due to an emergency by continuing her goofy vlogs that she had started the day we got here. Mainly, I am doing that because even though Jesus had a reason for her to leave, he had a reason for her to come as well, and that was to put her place in some people's hearts and influence others for the time she was here. So, after the trip is over and my friends and I have finished her vlogs, I will piece them together, so she can see and hear all that we did and still feel like a part of the group.
By the end of this trip, I hope to have learned many, many, many new things about Costa Rica and expand my knowledge about Jesus and have a lasting impact on this community.

Is there a social cost of randomization?
Johannes Haushofer, Michala Iben Riis-Vestergaard, Jeremy Shapiro
Princeton School of Public and International Affairs
Randomized controlled trials, which randomly allocate benefits to a treatment group and not a control group, ascribe differences in post-treatment welfare to the benefits being allocated. However, it is possible that potential recipients' welfare is not only affected by the receipt of the program, but also by the allocation mechanism (procedural utility). In this paper, we ask whether potential recipients support or oppose random allocation of financial benefits, by allowing them to reward or punish an allocator conditional on her choice of allocation mechanism: direct allocation to one recipient vs. randomization among potential recipients. We find that when potential recipients have equal endowments, they on average reward the allocator for randomizing. When instead there is inequality in the potential recipients' endowments, the relatively poorer recipients punish allocators who randomize, while the relatively richer potential recipients neither reward nor punish the allocator for randomizing. Our results suggest that an allocator who chooses to randomize between potential recipients with unequal endowments imposes a social cost on the relatively poorer potential recipients.

Our results suggest that an allocator who chooses to randomize between potential recipients with unequal endowments imposes a social cost on the relatively poorer potential recipients.

Douglas Auld
Douglas Auld works at Novartis and has 19 years of experience in the drug discovery industry with a understanding of academic, government, biotechnology and large pharmaceutical company approaches that have been applied to enable drug discovery. Dr Auld received his PhD in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina with Prof Gary J Pielak in 1993; he studied Cytochrome c as a model of protein folding, using 2D-NMR to characterise mutants, which pointed to the role of weakly polar interactions in stabilising the protein. This education was later applied to discover a potent inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, which operates by inhibiting protein folding in cells, while he was also helping to pioneer combinatorial chemistry approaches to drug discovery at Pharmacopeia. He performed his post-doctoral training at MIT with Prof Paul Schimmel where he studied isoleucyl tRNA synthetase and the molecular recognition of RNA by these enzymes. In 2004, he helped start the NIH Chemical Genomics Center (NCGC). At the NCGC, his group was deeply involved in profiling the PubChem library in a wide-range of biochemical and cell-based assays. In these efforts, he applied innovative screening approaches, enzymology, biophysical techniques and high-content cellular analysis to guide chemical optimisation efforts. The NCGC has now become NCATS. At Novartis, his labs provide assay development and resources for internal drug discovery efforts as well as providing resources and expertise to support academic collaborations. He is the author of >100 peer-reviewed scientific publications, a literature editor and contributor to Gen. Eng. News and Assays and Drug Development Technologies; he is a founding editor and contributor to the Assay Guidance Manual available as an eBook on the NCBI website, which aims to guide researchers in assay development and lead discovery approaches.
