This month, just in time for the holidays, we're spotlighting a few easy ways to give back right here in Marin. After all, charity should start at home, right?
Founded in 1994, this organization now serves more than 250 homeless and formerly homeless children and 200 families through five programs—Beach House, School House, Youth Leaders, Mentor Program, and Educational Advocacy—in San Francisco and Marin.
The Beach House needs volunteers as well as donations; a one-day training session is required. For information and an updated wish list, call 415.561.5533 or visit homeaway.org.
Put those clothes your family no longer wears, cluttering up your closets, to good use. Two local organizations help disadvantaged people find economic independence by providing appropriate work-wear, training and more. Image for Success, founded in 1999, has dressed more than 5,300 women, men and children in Marin, providing interview outfits and two-week wardrobes, and also operates a "gently worn" clothing store in San Rafael (1557 4th Street, between E and F streets). Image for Success and its clients could use these items: kids' coats, shoes, jeans (all sizes), packaged (new) boys' and girls' underpants, tights and socks, fabric freshener, shoe polish, lint removers, gift cards for Target, Ross and Marshalls, tall kitchen trash bags and large garbage bags, medium and large shopping bags.
Dress for Success is a global organization that helps economically disadvantaged women acquire and retain jobs and thrive in the mainstream workplace. Since its 2005 San Francisco opening in the basement of St. Mary's Church in San Francisco, the group has given assistance to more than 2,000 Bay Area women and also helped them with their careers. All was made possible by local donations, San Francisco executive director Renée Surcouf says. "Non-monetary support is just as important as financial support," she adds. "We are fully dependent on donations from the community." This year Dress for Success is looking for plus-size women's suits as well as accessories, bags and shoes.
To lend an even bigger hand, arrange with the two groups to host a holiday clothing swap party and invite a group of friends to bring unwanted items from their closet to sell. Clothes are priced in preset categories—for example, a $100 bin, a $50 bin, a $25 bin. Guests can shop, enjoy wine and cheese and help local women all at the same time. Proceeds go to Image for Success or Dress for Success, as do the items left unsold at the end.
Don't have time for a party? Give directly by contacting imageforsuccess.org/donations or dressforsuccess.org.

Nicotine is the psychoactive chemical found in several plants, including tobacco. Nicotine in its purest form is an odourless, colourless liquid – a poison. It is one of the most addictive substances in the world which explains why it is so hard for people to give it up. Traditionally tobacco is smoked in a cigarette, cigar or a pipe. It is also produced synthetically and used for e-cigarette refills, vaping appears a safer option than cigarettes. In either form, it is ingested to stimulate the central nervous system and causes dependency. Smoking cigarettes regularly can cause lung cancer and heart disease – it increases blood pressure and heart rate.
Nicotine is a toxic chemical that is highly addictive – often withdrawal causes people to use nicotine replacement products like patches or gum. E-cigarettes are being used as an alternative to reduce people's tobacco intake, however, this does mean it is not harmful. However, vape smokers do not consume the tar so avoid developing the same 'smoker's cough'. Exposure to cigarette smoke also causes premature ageing of the skin.
One in five over 18s smoke and one in twenty vape. While the number of people in the UK who smoke is decreasing tobacco, it remains the leading cause of premature deaths globally. A person who smokes cigarettes is at much higher risk of developing cancer especially among long-term heavy smokers. Cardiovascular disease is often found in dependent smokers: blocked arteries and heart-attacks can be a side-effect.
Nicotine containing products have some immediate health effects: bad breath, stained teeth, reduced fitness and it can cause bronchitis and asthma. People who smoke e-cigarettes might try to reduce the negative health effects, nonetheless, these devices can cause dizziness and dehydration after use.
Nicotine containing products are most harmful either directly or indirectly (second-hand smoke) to pregnant women, children, the elderly and those with cardiovascular problems. People who smoke are more likely to drug-take or drink excessively. People who have developed a dependency to nicotine wanting to give up tobacco should seek advice from a health professional.
The minimum age of 'legal' purchase and to consume nicotine containing products is 18 years for England and Wales.
The Health Act 2007 makes it a criminal offence to smoke tobacco products indoors and in the back of a vehicle that carries a child passenger (a person under 16), this legislation does not cover e-cigarettes as it does not burn tobacco so is not technically 'smoking'. Instead policy around 'vaping' will vary according to company and workplace policies meaning in some indoor public spaces people can vape.

With winter wind whacking at your windows and chilling gusts approaching, what is more fitting than watching a Netflix original horror?
Before watching The Haunting of Hill House, I was sceptical toward a horror themed TV show. Because let us be honest, more often than not, these shows and their plot lines become cheesy and ludicrous. However, that was not the case with The Haunting of Hill House as I'm sure those of you who have already seen it, can certainly agree. Centring around the Craine family, a family that had been plagued by the house twenty years prior, the show explores life after their supernatural experiences. Is this family haunted? Or is there some type of mental vulnerability at play? These are two of the key questions that thrash around in your mind as you watch, gripped, with your bum resting precariously on the edge of your seat.
Made up of seven main characters, the narrative constantly flashes between past and present and switches between siblings who unveil their traumas and how they have tried to unsuccessfully heal their scars. For Luke, this is by avoiding his past, poisoning his body with drugs. Whereas for Steve, his older brother, he shields himself from the past, convincing himself that his whole family is mentally ill. But no one can hide from their past forever, something Steve comes to terms with in the final episode.
Alongside this trauma, each character must cope with their own mystical power. It could be argued that in some ways these powers are what cause the hauntings in the first place. * Spoiler alert. * For example, Olivia has a premonition about the twin's bleak futures which makes her vulnerable to spiritual attack. Similarly, you may recall Nel's premonitions of her own death.
The most beautiful part of a horror story is not the jump scares – although there are some truly superb ones – it is the symbolism and entwined themes that embed themselves in the narrative. * Spoiler alert. * One example of this – and of course my favourite – would be the use of the colour red in flashbacks. Those that have seen it already will remember the red room: a room that materialises itself to be whatever the individual wishes it to be, whether this is a treehouse or a dance studio (what would you wish it to be?). Each time this room manifests, there is some subtle object that is red to signify that the individual is in the red room. This colour is often representative of danger, something that is particularly significant as the room is described as "the stomach of the house", a room that seeks to devour the family. It is small trinkets like this that make The Haunting of Hill House so terrifying.
Happy watching and may the bent neck lady haunt your dreams!

End of the first day of the Territoriality/Raffestin workshop. Papers by Alec Murphy, myself, Jean Ruegg, Mike Heffernan and Juliet Fall. There was also a discussion session led by Elena dell'Agnese around three pieces of Raffestin's work.
The workshop was an initiative mainly of Francisco Klauser, along with Joe Painter and myself. We wanted to bring Raffestin's valuable work, most of which is unavailable in English, into dialogue with Anglophone debates. We'd hoped Raffestin himself would give a major paper to orientate discussions, but he was very unfortunately too unwell to travel to Durham. He is still hoping to finish the paper for subsequent publication in a projected theme section of Society and Space.
The discussions were wide-ranging and seemed to go well. My own paper, which was entitled 'Space, Territory, and Territoriality' tried to argue for a conceptual separaration between territory and territoriality. I began with the three part claim.
I therefore spent a bit of time outlining a genealogy of the notion of territoriality (animal ethology; human geography of a behaviourist angle; Robert Sack's challenge) and tried to show its limits. I then moved to a discussion of Raffestin, saying that while I found him helpful in my broader project on territory, he was less helpful when he used territoriality as the way into such debates.
Territory is a concept and practice that needs explanation. It is not, itself, an explanation. But, neither is territoriality an explanation of territory. Territoriality and territory need to be distinguished, but I think that a more sophisticated and nuanced understanding of territory might help us to rethink what territoriality – to return to a valuable earlier meaning of the word as a condition of territory – is.
An intentionally provocative paper – especially for a workshop on territoriality – which did indeed lead to a good discussion. Four more papers tomorrow.

Bud Shank – Bud Shank Plays Tenor (Full Album)

Bud Shank – Bud Shank Plays Tenor (Full Album)
Bud Shank Plays Tenor is an album by saxophonist Bud Shank recorded in late 1957 for the Pacific Jazz label. AllMusic Review by Jason Ankeny: As its title promises, Bud Shank Plays Tenor eschews the jazzman's signature alto and flute, and while the leap to tenor doesn't dramatically impact his overall sound and style, it does add soul and depth to his lyrical solos. Paired with pianist Claude Williamson, bassist Don Prell, and drummer Chuck Flores, Shank crafts a radiant set of standards spanning from "All the Things You Are" to "Long Ago and Far Away," and while none of the performances reinvent the familiar material, the robust approach sets the session apart from his other Pacific Jazz dates (https://goo.gl/reZ6uR). Track listing: "Thou Swell" (Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart) - 6:40 "Tenderly" (Walter Gross, Jack Lawrence) - 7:50 "Over the Rainbow" (Harold Arlen, Yip Harburg) - 4:21 "Long Ago (and Far Away)" (Ralph Rainger, Leo Robin) - 4:51 "I Never Knew" (Ted Fio Rito, Sammy Kahn) - 6:31 "All the Things You Are" (Oscar Hammerstein II, Jerome Kern) - 4:52 "Body and Soul" (Johnny Green, Edward Heyman, Robert Sour, Frank Eyton) - 5:09 "Blue Lou" (Irving Mills, Edgar Sampson) - 5:45 Personnel: Bud Shank - tenor saxophone Claude Williamson - piano Don Prell - bass Chuck Flores - drums _______________________________ Released: 1960 Recorded: November 29, 1957 Capitol Studios, Hollywood, CA Label: Pacific Jazz PJ 4 Producer: Richard Bock

The Shot Not Heard Round the World
I was a schoolboy in the summer of 1998, and I knew nothing of Paraguay. Who did? As would have been the case for many children, that summer's World Cup served as my introduction to this exotic new location. It was a made-up place for all I knew; their spot in Group D of the tournament quite probably awarded to them after winning a raffle. They would be whipping boys and no more: Panini album filler. It was all about Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham. These would be the star attractions of our summer. There was to be no shame in it, but realistically Paraguay had nothing to offer.
Well, maybe there was one thing: a goalkeeper who took free-kicks. To a 12-year-old of the pre-YouTube generation, this was mental. I have had my mind blown since (like when The Undertaker threw Mick Foley from the top of a steel cage), but a goalkeeper taking a free-kick? Was that even allowed? Surely some mistake.
The only mistake was that no-one had been enough of a bad-ass to try it sooner. "Chilavert the Extrovert" (tip: pronounce neither of the 't's) was on set-piece duty and to heck with the consequences. Just imagine if he scored! The impossible will have been made possible: not by an astronaut or a scientist, but by a goalkeeper with a face that looked like it had been extracted from a corned beef tin.
Being young, I had not yet developed any true beliefs or ideologies to influence my behaviour, but this much was true: a goalkeeper scoring in a World Cup was something that needed to happen. The gathering weight of history gave Chilavert an irresistible impetus, like a space hopper on a trampoline. Suddenly I had a reason to get behind Paraguay. I watched their first group game against Bulgaria at home. The kick-off was 2:30 pm on a Friday, which means that I most likely pulled a sickie to get home early from school. As surely as anyone would have (justifiably) missed double maths to watch a man walk on the moon, so I made the same sacrifice to watch a goalkeeper score in a World Cup match.
In the 71st minute a Paraguayan counter-attack was foiled by a clumsy tackle from the bearded Bulgarian defender Trifon Ivanov. The referee blew his whistle, summoning an irrepressible surge of destiny as José Luis Chilavert trundled forward. The positioning was perfect: twenty-odd yards out, slightly to the right-hand side, ideal for a left-foot. This was it. The connection was immaculate, the curve of the ball arcing under the cumulative force of relentless practice and the collective will of people around the world waiting to share the unimaginable.
The keeper dived to his right, arm outstretched… and tipped the ball over the bar. The moment had gone. Chilavert sprinted back to his goal, chased by the ghosts of future regret. He couldn't take his one big chance to carve his name in the pantheon. The thing that he was meant to be known for did not happen, like Pete Best's ejection from The Beatles, and Gareth Gates's failure to win Pop Idol.
Throughout Paraguay's next two group games against Spain and Nigeria, as well as their knockout stage defeat to France, I never gave up hope that it could happen. But it wasn't to be. Chilavert would never score at a World Cup. To this day, no goalkeeper has.
The miss in that first game has haunted me ever since, just as I imagine it must have haunted Chilavert himself. But I would like to think that his brush with immortality has now taken on the guise of a family fable, with loved ones gathering on birthdays to discuss the time Gramps nearly scored a goal in front of the whole world. It was a peculiar moment that has somehow shaped me, prompting a lifelong devotion to the underdog's cause. Perhaps his own family and friends were touched in a similar way. Maybe they were imbued with an innate sense of derring-do. Or maybe they simply thought that such a cavalier attitude to defensive responsibilities was an early sign of dementia. We'll probably never know.
To this day, whenever I happen to think of Paraguay, I think of José Luis Chilavert and his near miss. I think of the day I pulled myself closer to the television to share in some history that never actually came to pass.
For that, and for making me realise that the magic of a World Cup is not just about the trophy, I will always be grateful. And, of course, he got me out of double maths.

Midfielder Sellars to leave Robins
Manager Gary Johnson has today confirmed that midfielder Jerell Sellars is to leave the club at the end of his current contract.
Sellars, 22, moved to Cheltenham Town last summer on a one-year deal and made 35 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals.
"Following conversations with Jerell's representatives, it has been mutually agreed that he will move on to a new club this summer," said Johnson.
"We wish Jerell well for the next part of his development and thank him for his services to the club during his season with us."

I recall stumbling across OneNote when it arrived in the collection of MSDN subscription disks back in 2003. What a find! It worked perfectly with my HP TC4200 tablet running Windows XP Tablet OS, turning it into a true note taking device. Since then, OneNote has only got better.
It's a free Windows 8 app and built into Windows Phone.
Real-time collaboration for white-boarding, sharing notes.
To the Microsoft OneNote team, keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing what else you have in store for us.


Are you searching for an effective and professional website to carry out enterprise? Since web applications are sometimes used dozens of instances per day by the identical particular person, it's important that you keep the interface clean and easy to use. Think about using a web site map to help users discover pages on the positioning, and to allow search engines like google to crawl the site if acceptable. When selecting a request processing technique, you must think about how much control you require over the UI in your application, your growth and testing approach, and your performance and scaling requirements.
We worked in tasks involving improvement underneath native and (desktop-only, responsive and cellular-first) Web growth. However as Luke Wroblewski says in his Internet Form Design ebook, Nobody likes submitting in varieties." That features signal-up varieties, including enterprise applications with dozens of fields. This sort of software consists of a Internet app, i.e. a backend and frontend operating on a server.
If your corporation layer resides on a remote tier, design coarse-grained service strategies to be able to minimize the number of round journeys, and to provide free coupling. Since both professionals and novice can use net application interface, it becomes all of the more essential for a designer to watch out and examine each element from close quarters. The challenge, ending in September 2015 successfully accelerated the event of ordinary Internet technologies required to make HTML5 apps competitive with native apps, particularly in the areas of Internet payments and wealthy cell Web APIs.
Moreover, in case you view the web site via a pill or a mobile phone, you can always download a special free app for a greater expertise. It means keeping the app safe and users knowledge non-public. Consider using this approach in case your software requires versatile navigation, superb control over its UI, might use alternate UI rendering applied sciences, or if you're utilizing a take a look at-pushed growth method.
If you don't have access to actual users—either because you do not have permission or are designing for open utility—you can use personas, a device to assist identify customers. Often, purposes fail as a result of they (a) remedy the flawed drawback, (b) have the mistaken options for the best problem, or (c) make the proper options too sophisticated for customers to know.


This chapter is a flashback into Hans Castorp's (and Thomas Mann's) childhood and adolescence, using the approach employed in Buddenbrooks of trying to explain a man's thoughts and actions in terms of those of his ancestors. More than all other chapters of the novel, this one brings to mind Mann's observation that it is difficult and not at all desirable to talk about The Magic Mountain without being aware of its indebtedness to Buddenbrooks. The present chapter may not be as intellectually brilliant as subsequent ones, but when it comes to humor, wisdom, and perceptive observations on the species of the bourgeois, it certainly measures up to Mann's first success.
The autobiographical elements of this chapter are as numerous as they are obvious. The characterization of Hans' grandfather, Senator Castorp, as a man holding family traditions and old institutions in far higher esteem than the insane expansion of harbor facilities and the godless sophistication of modern big cities corresponds to the picture we have of the author's father, Senator Thomas Heinrich Mann of Lübeck. Hans decides to take up shipbuilding as a career, but from the outset he does not really care for his work. He merely respects it.
Here is a parallel to Mann's early experience as an employee in an insurance agency. Just as Mann quit the insurance business to lead the "useless" life of an artist, so Hans never gets beyond taking his textbook Ocean Steamships up to the Berghof, where he forgets about it. Hans abandons his studies because he thinks his "love of idle hours" will not permit him to work hard. Mann, wondering what a working mood really is, answered his own question in the form of a little essay in which he asserts that "the mood to work — that's having slept well, good books, fresh air, few people, and peace."
As the narrator points out, however, there is also a deeper reason for Hans Castorp's dissatisfaction with his envisioned profession, and it is not exaggerating to see as his credo throughout the novel: "A man lives not only his personal life, as an individual, but also, consciously or unconsciously, the life of his epoch and his contemporaries. . . . It is quite conceivable that he may be vaguely conscious of the deficiencies of his epoch and find them prejudicial to his own moral well-being." As the most perfect proof of this insight, Castorp will continue his ambivalence and indecision even after catching a glimpse of truth in the snow dream.
Thus this chapter becomes the true starting point of the educational journey of Hans. The close relationship between him and his grandfather, meticulously dealt with and culminating in the treatment of the family christening basin, reflects the tradition of conservative values in which Hans (and Thomas Mann) was reared. The detailed description of Hans' life with Joachim at the home of Consul Tienappel also reflects the conservative tradition; the atmosphere radiates gentility. Since Hans has embarked upon a journey of self-education and, eventually, meaningfulness, these descriptions serve to point to his indebtedness to the "normal world below," which he never really abandons. Hans, not at all "simple," can empathize with Joachim, his clear-cut opposite in so many ways. And Mann, despite his often-revised views and later engagement for the liberal cause, never ceased to think of himself as rooted in his conservative upbringing.
Castorp's reminiscences extend to his early and repeated experiences with death. Having lost his father, mother, and now his grandfather, he has had ample opportunity to find out that there is more to death than the mournfulness and solemnity of funerals There is also a physical aspect to it, almost ordinary and common in its raw materiality Dead bodies, he reasons, cannot be truly a sad affair because sadness only prevails where life is concerned. These reflections are on Castorp's mind as he stands by his dead grandfather, who appears to be a life size wax doll to him, nothing but lifeless material. Here Mann's favorite theme of the polarity of life and death comes in. The noble and ignoble aspects of death which little Hans experiences are the basis of the novel's progression by opposites and contrasts. Throughout the book, the discussion of these ennobling and dehumanizing aspects of disease and death will be continued. Castorp himself is aware of these dual aspects which predestine him for his intense sensual, intellectual, and moral adventures.
Of the many motifs Mann employs, that of the recurring number seven stands out. Before Hans' time, seven generations were initiated into Christian life by being sprinkled with water from the family basin, and seven years have elapsed since his own christening. Seven continues to play an important role until the end of the novel: the patients of the sanatorium are seated around seven tables, which is significant because of the function of food as the "time killer" in the boredom of the Berghof; the name of Castorp's great educator will be Settembrini, sette meaning seven in Italian; after seven weeks, Castorp ponders how quickly time has elapsed for him, and at the night of the carnival he will tell Clavdia Chauchat that sept mois under her eyes have made him fall in love with her; when the thunderbolt of the war awakens Hans from his seven-year spell on the Magic Mountain, the narrator refers to him as a Seven-Sleeper. (A literal translation of the German Siebenschlafer refers to a rodent known for its long hibernation period of seven months.) Plunged into the war, Hans will have to march for seven hours to reach the battle scene. Finally, the novel is divided into seven chapters.
its theme centers on man's interaction with animals and nature.

Drew Clinical Research Papers Archive
Students in the Drew/UCLA medical program conduct an original research project related to the Primary Care program as part of their graduation requirements. The research projects generally grow from the students experiences in the Primary Care program continuity clinic that the students attend throughout their third year. During this year, students develop their research question, write a protocol, and obtain IRB approval for their research. Research is mainly conducted throughout the 4th year, culminating in a research paper and presentation at a student research colloquium. This research program will be transforming into a full medical thesis program beginning with the class of 2004.

Patent Medicine Trade Cards
Patent medicine is the term given to various medical compounds sold under a variety of names and labels, though they were for the most part actually trademarked medicines, not patented. In ancient times, such medicine was called nostrum remedium, "our remedy" in Latin, hence the name "nostrum"; it is a medicine whose efficacy is questionable and whose ingredients are usually kept secret.
The trade cards are small, colorfully illustrated advertising cards touting a particular medicine and its many cures. The illustrations often have little to do with any of the ailments purported to be cured. They were pure advertising and very collectible. The era of patent medicine began to unravel in the U.S. with the passage of the first Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906.

Anderson Ruffin Abbott
The First Black Doctor in Canada: Anderson Ruffin Abbott Anderson Ruffin Abbott was the first black Canadian doctor. Abbott and his family had a long history of contributing to the social life and economy of Toronto. Dr. Abbott's father, Wilson Ruffin Abbott, was born in Richmond, Virginia, to a Scottish-Irish man and a free black woman in 1801. He left home at the age of 15 to work on a Mississippi steamer, and settled in Mobile, Alabama, where he opened a general grocery store. In 1834, the city of Mobile passed a writ requiring all free blacks to provide a bond signed by two white men as a pledge of good behaviour.

The Influenza Epidemic of 1918
The Deadly Virus True or False? The Influenza Epidemic of 1918 killed more people than died in World War One. View the Documents and Photos Hard as it is to believe, the answer is true. World War I claimed an estimated 16 million lives. The influenza epidemic that swept the world in 1918 killed an estimated 50 million people. One fifth of the world's population was attacked by this deadly virus. Within months, it had killed more people than any other illness in recorded history. The plague emerged in two phases. In late spring of 1918, the first phase, known as the "three-day fever," appeared without warning. Few deaths were reported. Victims recovered after a few days. When the disease surfaced again that fall, it was far more severe.

If You Knew the Conditions... Health Care to Native Americans
History of Medicine Early United States Government Interest in Native American Health Although U.S. Army surgeons treated Native American victims of smallpox near the opening of the 19th-century, government concern for Native American health at this time was manifest more in counting the numbers of people who died from this and other diseases, and estimating how many were left, than in providing institutional remedies. Jedidiah Morse's report indicates this interest: Determining where "Indians" were in North America and how many they were. The report is addressed to the Secretary of War. Indian affairs were administered by the War Department until 1849. The U.S.

Islamic Culture and the Medical Arts
Islamic Culture and the Medical Arts Preface On the 30th of November 1094 AD (or to be more precise, the 19th of the month Dhu al-Qa`dah in the year 487 of the Muslim era), a scribe in Baghdad completed a copy of an Arabic treatise by one of the most important medieval physicians and clinicians -- Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Zakariya' al-Razi, who worked in Baghdad in the previous century and was later known to Europe as Rhazes. This manuscript is the oldest volume in the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the third oldest Arabic manuscript on any medical topic known to be preserved today.

Cesarean Section - A Brief History
History of Medicine Cesarean Section - A Brief History Preface Cesarean section has been part of human culture since ancient times and there are tales in both Western and non-Western cultures of this procedure resulting in live mothers and offspring. According to Greek mythology Apollo removed Asclepius, founder of the famous cult of religious medicine, from his mother's abdomen. Numerous references to cesarean section appear in ancient Hindu, Egyptian, Grecian, Roman, and other European folklore. Ancient Chinese etchings depict the procedure on apparently living women. The Mischnagoth and Talmud prohibited primogeniture when twins were born by cesarean section and waived the purification rituals for women delivered by surgery.

May H. Lesser; The Art of Medicine at the 21st Century
History of Medicine Home > History Home > Lesser Home This is my fourth exhibit over the last 20 years in a series presenting medicine and social healing in our century. When I reviewed my first book, from which the first exhibit was taken (auditing medical school at UCLA, with the Class of '71), and the second, about medical education in its entirety (from the student's first days until a physician's first professional experiences, in the '80's), I realized that another look was timely. I have always focused on the motivations of health care practitioners, as well as their human endeavors. I admire those who study and train to help others at this high level of knowledge and skill, which takes years to achieve and much personal sacrifice.

New Frontiers in Health Communication- Sesquicentennial
History of Medicine Instruction in Surgery. Five physicians and their colleagues in the surgical amphitheatre of the Massachusetts General Hospital watch as the anesthetist administers ether to a patient who is about to have surgery. This illustration appeared in an 1889 issue of Harper's Weekly . The National Library of Medicine was originally established 150 years ago, in 1836, as the Library of the Army Surgeon General's Office. Perhaps the key event in the library's history occurred in 1865, when Dr. John Shaw Billings became director. For the next 30 years he worked tirelessly to expand the library's holdings and open it as a source of biomedical information for all physicians.

Tropical Medicine Manuscript Collections at NLM
History of Medicine INTRODUCTION Tropical medicine began in the nineteenth century when doctors diagnosed infectious diseases in soldiers and colonists who had lived in tropical areas. In 1877, English scientist Sir Patrick Manson proved that mosquitoes spread elephantiasis to humans and he later theorized that the same was true with malaria. This was an enormous step in tropical medicine and the understanding of tropical diseases, leading to advances in prevention methods. The field of tropical medicine consists of the study, treatment, and prevention of tropical diseases. Tropical diseases can be defined as those that are mainly of parasitic origin and are common in tropical or subtropical areas.

Last updated: 14 January 2009 The Loss and Recovery of Greek Medicine in the West After the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century, most works of the Greek physicians were lost to Western Europe. In the 14th and 15th centuries, however, Western Europeans began to rediscover Greek scientific and medical texts. This was due in part to the discovery of Arab repositories of learning in Spain and elsewhere during the Crusades as well as the immigration to Italy of Byzantine scholars at the fall of Constantinople in 1453.

Dream Anatomy
Introduction: Dream Anatomy The interior of our bodies is hidden to us. What happens beneath the skin is mysterious, fearful, amazing. In antiquity, the body's internal structure was the subject of speculation, fantasy, and some study, but there were few efforts to represent it in pictures. The invention of the printing press in the 15th century-and the cascade of print technologies that followed-helped to inspire a new spectacular science of anatomy, and new spectacular visions of the body. Anatomical imagery proliferated, detailed and informative but also whimsical, surreal, beautiful, and grotesque — a dream anatomy that reveals as much about the outer world as it does the inner self.

History of Medicine Our exhibit celebrates the medieval manuscript holdings of the National Library of Medicine, particularly our 12th-century English manuscript, Treatises on Medicine, lost for nearly 50 years and recently returned. In its honor, we have focused on medicine and medical literature in medieval England, on the sources and transmission of the manuscript texts, and on their later manifestations. The 12th century, when our manuscript was written, saw exciting developments in many areas of western European culture. New ideas infused the practice of architecture, music, poetry, and theology. The great European universities were beginning to take shape.

Emotions and Disease
Exhibition Directors' Statement The exhibition Emotions and Disease was initially developed by the History of Medicine Division of the National Library of Medicine, in conjunction with the Third International Congress of the International Society for Neuroimmunomodulation which met at the National Institutes of Health in November 1996. The exhibition was intended to provide historical perspective and context for the scientific discussions and presentations at the Congress and to explain to the general public the meaning and relevance of scientific developments linking neurophysiology to the functioning of our immune systems. Using the historical approach, we could make these sophisticated scientific developments more accessible to a non-specialist audience.

Islamic Medical Manuscripts
Medieval Islam Islamic cultures are among the most interesting, complex, and dynamic in the world. At the same time, they are among the least known in the West. From its dramatic rise in the seventh century A. D. to the present, Islamic civilization has covered a large part of the globe, incorporating many subcultures and languages into its orbit, and vigorously engaging the peoples around it. Medicine was a central part of medieval Islamic culture. Disease and health were of importance to rich and poor alike, as indeed they are in every civilization. Responding to circumstances of time and place, Islamic physicians and scholars developed a large and complex medical literature exploring and synthesizing the theory and practice of medicine.

So, What's New in the Past- The Multiple Meanings of Medical History
History of Medicine Introduction The history of medicine tells different stories and different truths depending on the questions we ask and the concerns we raise. That's why there is always something new in the past. This exhibition explores some of the multiple meanings people have found in the history of medicine within the United States. We see how, during the last two hundred years, the history of medicine has been created and used as weapon, as inspiration, as edifice, as politics, as profession, and as today's news. Physicians have used medical history to increase their understanding, to unify their profession, to develop a vision of the future of medicine, and to provide better medical care to their patients. History is like a kaleidoscope.

Great Lakes E&I provided environmental remediation services for a former MGP facility in New Jersey, including in-situ stabilization (ISS) of impacted soil. The site was pre-excavated to a depth of 10 feet in preparation for ISS work. This included the removal of asphalt pavement and concrete slabs and the excavation, transport, and off-site thermal treatment of 47,000 cubic yards of MGP-impacted soil. Obstruction (e.g., footers, foundations, pilings, etc.) encountered during the pre-excavation were size-reduced and disposed of off-site with the contaminated soils. Extensive dewatering was conducted to maintain a dry platform at the bottom of the excavation. The collected water was treated in an on-site water treatment facility prior to discharge. ISS was performed using both a crane-mounted Hain platform and a Delmag RH28 drill rig. The crane/platform assembly was supplemented with a swivel-mounted, top-feeding Kelly Bar capable of reaching a depth of 55 feet bgs and used to turn augers ranging from 6 to 10 feet in diameter. The Delmag rig used a 40 foot Kelly bar to turn augers ranging from 4 to 6 feet in diameter. A grout plant was set up and the required reagent grout was produced on-site then conveyed to the auger rigs, where it was added on a per weight basis using a pre-determined mix design of 9% by weight for Portland cement and 3% by weight for ground granulated blast furnace slag. ISS was first performed at a 10-foot-wide perimeter that was keyed 4 feet into the clay layer, followed by the interior ISS keyed 2 feet into the clay layer. The ISS-treated material met the project performance requirements >50 psi unconfined compressive strength and <1x10-6 cm/s hydraulic conductivity. During initial ISS activities, Great Lakes E&I recognized that the unconsolidated nature of the sand lithologies complicated the drilling of the ISS columns, extending the time required for the auger mixing. To address this challenge, Great Lakes mobilized a second auger rig to address shallower (>40 feet) impacted soil, while using the crane-mounted Hain platform system to treat the deeper impacts. The use of two auger rigs allowed Great Lakes E&I to recover schedule slippage. The presentation also will discuss how Great Lakes E&I overcame challenges with obstruction removal, dewatering and water treatment during the project.
Dr. Paul Lear serves Great Lakes E&I as Technical Director, providing technical expertise in support of environmental remediation, sediment remediation, and geotechnical projects throughout the U.S. He assists with business development, proposal preparation, and project execution. Dr. Lear has over 30 years of experience in hazardous waste treatment and chemical process development. He has been involved with the design and implementation of treatment systems at over 100 CERCLA and RCRA sites. His experience includes selecting and evaluating treatment alternatives, providing data for preliminary design activities and project equipment specifications, assisting project design teams, and implementing the final design. He received a B.S. degree in Soil Science from the University of Nebraska, a M.S. degree in Soil Chemistry/Mineralogy from the University of Illinois, and a Ph.D. degree in Soil chemistry/Mineralogy from the University of Illinois.

Pechanga Corruption: Prosecution RESTS Will the Naming of Names Commence?
The prosecution rested today in the trial of a former accountant for the Pechana Band of Luiseno Indiansand an ex-insurance broker, who are accused of stealing about $4 million from the Temecula-based tribe by diverting funds reserved for insurance coverage.
James William Riley, 48, of Murrieta and Ryan Jay Robinson, 41, of Temecula were indicted in February 2010 on multiple felony charges stemming from a scam that the pair allegedly perpetrated between 2005 and 2007.
Riley, a former insurance broker and partner at Murrieta-based Riley, Garrison & Associates, could face 20 years in prison and six-figure fines if convicted of three counts each of grand theft, commercial bribery and money laundering. Robinson, the Pechanga tribe's former chief financial officer, is facing up to seven years behind bars if convicted of grand theft and three counts of bribery.
According to Riley's attorney, Souley Diallo, his client never committed a crime, and the prosecution's case boils down to a misunderstanding of complex financial arrangements. Chris Jensen, Robinson's legal counsel, acknowledged that his client received tens of thousands of dollars in cashier's checks from Riley, but said there's no evidence that the funds were part of a bribe or arose from a conspiracy to rip off the tribe.
The men's trial began July 11, and Riverside County Deputy District Attorney Jeanne Roy called her final witness this morning. Defense witnesses' testimony is expected to conclude Monday or Tuesday.
Last week, Roy displayed copies of documents drawn up by Riley that revealed how, in a one-month span in 2006, premiums on an insurance policy for the Pechanga Development Corp. went from $555,000 to $1.32 million. The prosecutor alleged the sum was artificially inflated by the defendant, who pocketed $410,000 in ``fees'' from the transaction.
Roy alleged Riley and Robinson began scamming the tribe shortly after Hurricane Katrina in September 2005. Commercial insurance rates went through the roof following the disaster, enabling the defendants to justify exorbitant insurance costs from which they were profiting, Roy said, alleging that Riley lived a lavish lifestyle while his co-defendant used $190,000 in ill-gotten gains to pay off gambling debts.
Riley is free on $1 million bail, and Robinson is free on a $120,000 bond.
LET THE DEFENSE BEGIN. NAME NAMES...
Posted by OPechanga at 11:33 AM
I wonder if the $4 million that was taken was the "extra" money that was paying for the insurance that the Hunters had before being kicked out and losing there insurance.
It's not easy to divert $4 million dollars without attracting some attention, unless it was money that already had been accounted for and no longer was being used.
Just makes me wonder.........

English Rose bath soap, Sharon? Are you planning on making some, please?
I bought Arabian Nights from Sharon recently. I get a decent lather and good post shave care, as expected. What I enjoy the most is the fragrance. It has a lovely warming spice, with that critical cut of freshly ground black pepper. I get rose, star anise and patchouli tones too. Each aspect is crisp and works well to not allow the spice to be overpowering. Nice tin too. Very happy shaver!
Glad you liked it Nishy.
Carl, I'll get that made this week. But it will be about 4 weeks before it's ready. I did make some Moroccan Sands bath soap, but it's appearance is not what I wanted. Should have been black and white, instead it's black and a yellowing brown....particularly gutted as I had put in a shed load of pricy sweet almond oil. So it's a lovely soap to use, but not so great to look at. You can see it here http://www.nannyssillysoap.com/ps/index.php?id_product=254&controller=product&id_lang=1&search_query=moroccan&results=8 The picture makes it look better than it is, I think.
I'm all over that! I've ordered six cakes and asked you to hold on to them till the English Rose is ready. That OK?
The colour of the coloured tape will change over time, as I can't get a steady supply, and just snap up what I can find. But you get the idea. It should also be easier to open the wrapping than some of my previous 'bright' ideas, as the tape is paper and tears easily.
I'm all for ease of access! All the cakes, unwrapped, in a sandwich bag would suit me fine.
Me to. But I feel I have to try to make them look pretty. Not sure whether this browning is going to continue to get worse....OMG, they might end up chocolate brown and black. I'll let you know if they've noticeably deteriorated by the time I post.
I think wrapping is a female thing and blokes not greatly into it. We might be about to find out otherwise, though?
Chocolate brown and black - like Cadbury's Fruit and Nut but nutless?
You'll have to let me know what you think when you see that chocolate brown gleaming through that quality wax paper nicely offset with contrasting ribbon.
We're beginning to sound lavatorial now!
You have a very sick mind Carl, and maybe need counselling. Although I myself, usually the last to pick up on distasteful innuendo, did find a smile cross my face (before I checked myself, naturally) when I received an email from Russia ending with the words 'sent from my mobile apparatus'. I have of course now deleted said email for fear that such is indeed an infection in my computer.
Worst case scenario is a fabulous smelling roof no?
I don't get it Nishy....which is not unusual.
Carl's roof fund, some say the chimney is open comb.
Ah, the penny drops. And if I may say so, 'Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk" is a perfectly respectable way to end a message.
Received the samples today, Sharon. Wonder how a parcel can take three weeks to get across the North Sea -- but all the more happy I was to see it on my desk at work. Obviously I didn't whip up a lather in front of my computer here, but I can safely say that the scents are most pleasurable! Particular mentions to Down Home Summer (seems a perfect summer vetiver) and Arabian Nights.
Search me Halvor; although I do remember having one parcel doing a detour to Australia on it's way from here to France. Right now I'm getting quite a few orders from Russia, which has me on tenterhooks, as their postal system seems to have a lot of problems with stuff going missing.
Anyway, glad your's has finally arrived, and I hope you enjoy the shave.
The Australian detour is easy to explain! If you're pushed for time and/or there's a backlog of sorting to be done, just chuck a difficult parcel into the 'Australia' bag - takes ages to come back and be difficult again.
I do Carl, I do. Nanny's 75 % discount code.

Q: Fastest algorithm for evaluating large polynomials A rather general question, what is the fastest (in terms of time complexity) algorithm for evaluating polynomials of Degree 400 to 500.
Thanks in advance.

A: If you are talking about evaluation of polynomials, you probably can't be faster than the linear time Horner scheme - except if you have some special circumstances.
If you are talking about the multiplication of polynomials, the Karatsuba algorithm is rather easy to implement and quite fast for that size. I believe fast Fourier transform based algorithms are only worth using if you have larger polynomials.

A: Modified versions of fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) generally provide very good results for this sort of problem. Take a look at this paper, which suggests taking a hybrid FFT approach. I would start your research by looking for terms along the lines of "fast univariate FFT". It may also help you to note that multiplying two polynomials is essentially the same operation as multiplying two integers.

Make a cross, through the skin, on the bottom of each tomato (the opposite side to where it was connected to the vine).
Place tomatoes in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for 30 seconds and then drain.
Plunge into a bowl of cold water.
The skins should start to peel away. Using a non serrated vegetable knife, gently strip the skin from the flesh.
You can then quarter the tomatoes and take the seeds out. I use my fingers to remove the seeds, but you can use a teaspoon.


With the Netherlands continuing to see stellar growth in its property market, our Corporate Services specialist and Head of the Group's Netherlands office, Andreas Demmel, gives his take on everything from emerging trends to key tax considerations for those looking to invest.
How would you describe the current state of the Netherlands property market?
It's booming – a leading property investment group painted a particularly rosy picture, with their research indicating the Netherlands property market to be one of the top performing real estate markets in Europe, having recently seen over €19.5bn of total investment.
What do you think is driving the current performance?
A combination of factors. The local economy is thriving at the moment, growing at its highest rate in over a decade. The low interest rate environment has obviously helped drive down the cost of finance, and then you have the wider political uncertainty in Europe, which has led to a surge in the number of businesses identifying the Netherlands as a potential HQ for their EU operations.
Recent figures indicate that international investors account for over 70% of all property purchases made in the Netherlands, with the US, China, Western Europe and, increasingly, the Middle East among the most buoyant markets. Such investment tends to come in the form of collective investment schemes, such as private investment and pension funds, as well as sovereign wealth.
Is there a particular sector that appears to be leading the way?
Both the commercial and residential sectors are popular at the moment, but the commercial sector in particular is one worthy of mention. Office property has seen a noticeable increase, especially within the urbanised areas of the western provinces. While Brexit has only had a limited impact on the Dutch real estate market so far, proposed plans to move the European Medicines Agency from London to the Zuidas area of Amsterdam have fast become a major talking point in discussions surrounding Dutch office properties.
Meanwhile, the continual growth of eCommerce has led to a surge in demand for industrial properties such as distribution centres. There has been a clear spike in interest in both large-scale logistics properties and the development and expansion of increasingly large warehouse capacities – the likes of which are mainly found in locations such as North Brabant and Limburg.
Despite a positive rental market, there are actually less investment transactions in retail properties. It seems that owners of sought-after locations are taking a longer-term view, while less popular locations are being left unconsidered by potential buyers. Nevertheless, opportunistic investments in retail properties might still be able to produce desired yields, as numerous successful shopping centre revitalisations have recently demonstrated.
What are the main forms of tax that potential investors need to be aware of?
When acquiring legal or economic ownership of a Dutch property in principal, Real Estate Transfer Tax – or RETT – applies. For commercial property, the current rate is 6%, based on the fair value of the property. There are exemptions, but these are generally new properties that have not been taken into use.
While property acquisitions are principally exempt from VAT, the acquisition or transfer of a new property may be subject to it at the current rate of 21%. Therefore, for simplicity, if no RETT is applicable to a new property, VAT might be due instead, and vice versa.
Dutch Corporate Income Tax or CIT would typically be incurred on property acquired through a limited liability company – known in Dutch as a Besloten Vennootschap or BV – and applies to worldwide income. This would result in the rental income forming the bulk of the remuneration, and the investment property being classed as a business asset that is, in principle, depreciable.
Depending on the nature of the property, the residual value and the expected economic lifetime are set based on market experience, thereby determining the amount of depreciation from the original cost price of the building. In addition, expenses paid to third parties at arm's length – such as financing costs and any local property taxes – are generally deductible for CIT purposes.
The Netherlands is renowned for the competitiveness of its tax regime, and this has undoubtedly been one of the primary drivers for the surge of investment it has received over the years.
That said, the Dutch government is making efforts to simultaneously tackle tax evasion by implementing new anti-abuse legislation – such as the EU's Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive – while maintaining an attractive investment climate by gradually decreasing the corporate income tax rate to 22%.
Together with the longer-term nature of property investments, these factors mean that for those of you thinking about investing, it is vital that you also continually monitor the region's respective tax and legal developments.

La chiesa di San Martirio  è un luogo di culto cattolico presente nel XIV secolo a Villa d'Adda, in provincia e diocesi di Bergamo, sussidiaria della chiesa parrocchiale di Sant'Andrea.

Storia
La piccola chiesa è citata in un atto notarile di vendita del 13 gennaio 1329 che vedeva Simone e Bertulino Rubiati vendete un appezzamento di terra a Guglielmo Avvocati. Il documento cita: "in territorio burgi de Villa Ripe Ardue […] a Sanctum Martirium" facente parte della pieve di Brivio, arcidiocesi di Milano e di rito ambrosiano. La dedicazione al santo Martirio indica la storia della chiesa molto più antica di quanto rilevato dalle documentazioni, ponendo questo edificio come il più antico della località. La sua edificazione e intitolazione farebbe considerare a una devozione privata, o voluta dalla piccola comunità di Villa di Basso, perché avesse un luogo di preghiera. A conferma la chiesa risulta avesse una gestione privata e autonoma fino al XV secolo. Nuovamente citata nel 1398 nel «Notizia cleri mediolanensis».

L'edificio di culto fu poi assegnato all'antica chiesa di Sant'Andrea in Catello. Furono unite in un unico beneficio che viene indicato come: "un solo beneficio in un unico corpo". La chiesa però era oggetto di devozione da parte di tutti gli abitati la località e particolarmente dalla famiglia di Locatelli Guarischini. Alla morte di Pietro di Guarisco, gli eredi documentati nelle persone di Cristoforus et fratrus fecero decorare la prima campata dell'aula, allora coro della chiesa, con l'affresco raffigurante: Madonna in trono con i san Cristoforo e Pietro, il martirio di san Sebastiano e il martirio di santa Lucia. In quel periodo di fine Quattrocento la chiesa fu oggetto di lavori di restauro proprio grazie a questo lascito testamentario con nuove aperture laterali e il rifacimento della copertura. Ulteriori raffigurazioni non sono più decifrabili. Zano della famiglia Guarischini risulta citato nel 1491 in presenza in un atto di rinuncia e unione della chiesa di Santa Maria della Cuna, era probabilmente desiderio della famiglia di goderne del giuspatronato, cosa che invece passò alla famiglia Bernardi. Un successivo testamento del 1502 di Giorgio Guarischini con un legato a favore della chiesa e il diritto, appoggiato dagli abitanti la località, di nominarne il cappellano.

Con gli anni la famiglia si trovò in disaccordo con il parroco cittadino che lasciava il diritto di nomina del cappellano, ma non l'uso dei terreni che dovevano godere di un beneficio separato. Queste controversie portarono l'inerzia della gestione della chiesa, fino a ridurre l'edificio in uno stato di degrado e abbandono, situazione documentata e confermata nella visita pastorale di san Carlo Borromeo del 1583.

Nel 1610 la chiesa fu visitata da Federico Borromeo, e dalla sua relazione è possibile ricostruirne l'architettura. La copertura della chiesa era retta da due grandi archi in legno, era priva di pavimento e illuminata da due aperture poste a nord e a sud. L'edificio presentava molte precarietà: "oratorio sotto il titolo di S. Martirio minaccia rovina e imminente pericolo il celebrarvi"  e dal 1617, situazione che risulta ripetersi nel 1652 "questa chiesa ha bisogno di grandi riparazioni tanto al pavimento, quanto al tetto, quanto alle pareti, quanto ai tetti e utile sarebbe che quanto prima si restauri".

La chiesa fu rimodernata e ampliata con autorizzazione del vescovo Giovanni Paolo Dolfin del 1796,con il rifacimento della zona presbiteriale e della facciata, mentre il XIX secolo vide il rifacimento del tetto e la facciata

Descrizione

Esterno
L'edificio di culto si trova sulla viabile urbana con la facciata a capanna affiancata dalla torre campanaria e anticipata da un breve marciapiede in ciottolato di fiume che segue nella parte sinistra del fabbricato formando un piccolo sagrato. Un porticato aperto ad arco anticipa la facciata e permette la presenza di un vano ripostiglio sul lato a sinistra e l'ingresso al campanile su quello destro. La piccola facciata ospita l'ingresso all'aula con paraste e architrave in pietra arenaria, e una piccola apertura sagomata atta a illuminare l'aula nella parte superiore

Interno
La navata unica della chiesa ha una pavimentazione posta a una livello inferiore rispetto l'assetto stradale a conferma della sua antica realizzazione ed si divide in tre campate da doppie lesene terminanti dal capitello dorico che regge il cornicione dove s'imposta la volta a crociera. Tracce degli affreschi risalenti al XVI secolo sono presenti nelle prime due campate. La zona presbiteriale anticipata dall'arco trionfale completo di due importanti colonne in murature complete di capitelli corinzi da dove s'imposta la volta che termina con il coro absidato.

Judge Christylee Peck from Cumberland County and proven prosecutor Megan McCarthy King from Chester County have spent their careers giving voice to the voiceless, prosecuting the worst of society, and standing up for the rule of law.
Both "recommended" by the Pennsylvania Bar Association, Judge Peck and Prosecutor King will prudently defend state and federal Constitutional principles and ensure the courts respect what is–not what should be–law.
Judge Christylee Peck
Judge Christylee Peck was first elected to the Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas in 2011. Whether it's sitting on bench trials for criminal cases to overseeing civil suits, protection from abuse petitions, dependency petitions and Orphan's court matters such as guardianships and wonderful adoptions, Judge Peck knows what it is like to work with all stakeholders in the system to find justice and fairness.
Prior to being elected as a judge, Judge Peck prosecuted the worst of society in the Lancaster County District Attorney's Office as part of the child abuse unit. She then moved to the Cumberland County District Attorney's Office where she prosecuted violent criminal offenders who committed homicides, rapes, robberies, and crimes against children.
Prosecutor Megan McCarthy King
Prosecutor Megan McCarthy King began her career protecting the most vulnerable as an Assistant District Attorney in the Lancaster County District Attorney's Office where she supervised a child abuse unit—an office where the worst of the human condition was met with tough justice for offenders and hope for victims. Megan later led a county-wide initiative to combat elder abuse, including financial exploitation schemes.
Now Deputy District Attorney in Chester County, Megan has successfully prosecuted homicides, sexual and physical assaults, and taken on increasingly complex schemes to defraud seniors. In recognition of Megan's accomplishments, she was the only Pennsylvania prosecutor to receive the 2018 Blue Ribbon Champion for Safe Kids Award from the Pennsylvania Family Support Alliance, the state leader in child protection. She also has experience in clerking for a Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice.
The Primary Election will be held on May 21, 2019.

ECX to launch first trading centre out of Addis Ababa
ETHIOPIA – The Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX) is set to launch the first electronic commodity trading centre outside its headquarters in Addis Abeba.
The centre is scheduled to become operational in January 2017 in Hawassa, 285km south of the capital.
"We'll go to our clients," Tewodros Assefa, public relations head at the ECX, told Fortune, highlighting one of the cardinal factors that shaped the Exchange's decision to set up shop in regional centres – increased market access for farmers and traders.
Accordingly, the ECX has put in motion a five-year strategic plan (2015-2019) to effectively de-centralise its trading centre, with ten branches spread out across the country.
The trading centres will not be established randomly, but based on the area's comparative advantage in producing a certain commodity.
"Around 60pc of coffee traded at the ECX's HQ passes through Hawassa, while Kombolcha is known as a major red kidney hub," Tewodros added.
The ECX, in addition to its Hawassa trading centre, will also launch similar trading floors in Nekemte and Humera in the same year. Construction of all three centres is near completion, and has cost the Exchange around six million Br each.
The five-year strategic plan, which targets greater accessibility and is anchored on commodity specialisation in a given area, also includes setting up trading centres in ten cities.
To this end, the Exchange has commissioned the construction of four such centres in Jimma, Adama, Gondar and Kombolcha.
The ECX has set aside a budget of 38 million Br for the construction and operationalisation of these four centres.
This puts the number of nearly completed and commissioned trading centres at seven.
"The remaining three centres will be introduced next year," Tewodros added.
The trading centres outside the ECX's HQ will be serviced by its in house built trading engine.
The Exchange first implemented the electronic system at its Addis Abeba floor in July 2015.
"The new centres, once online, will be connected with each other and the HQ," Tewodros noted.
"The establishment of trading centres in different parts of the country is a welcome development," an expert in commodity trade in Ethiopia noted, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
"Primarily, decentralising the trading centre will boost transparency for traders who can monitor the process in a close proximity."
"Moreover, the current sole dependence on Addis Abeba's trading floor and its inconvenience will be addressed," the expert added.
Each trading centre will have 50 member seats, who will be taking part in the transaction process. The seats will be allotted to cooperative unions and individuals who will acquire the right to trade through competitive bids.
"Addis Abeba's ECX floor currently has 347 seats; cooperative unions have 33 seats and represent no less than five million farmers," Tewodros said.
In total, around 17,000 clients are serviced by members who have seats at the floor.
Close to eight billion birr's worth of trade has been transacted since July 2015, according to the PR head.
Despite the benefits that decentralising the trading centres brings to the market, there are some challenges and shortcomings in promoting the increased benefit for farmers.
"Lack of capacity in easily utilising the electronic trading system was an issue when it was introduced at the Addis Abeba floor," the expert stated.
"This issue will prove to be a problem, at least during the initial period of its implementation, unless proper training is given."
The ECX previously used the "open house cry" method to conduct its trading.
The expert, though very appreciative of the effort to spread trading centres closer to clients, fears that the current scheme will not totally ensure the benefit of farmers.
"There will still be middlemen, who will take commissions for trading commodities from farmers," he underscored.
The ECX was established in 2008, aiming to "ensure the development of an efficient modern trading system" that would "protect the rights and benefits of sellers, buyers, intermediaries and the general public," according to its establishing Proclamation 2007/551.
