Yesterday saw Michelle diving through our photography archives (fancy word for old hard drives) looking for a photo to use in the blog that was posted on her personal blog.
There were so many wonderful memories in there, both personal and professional moments, that we've decided they need to come out and be shared. After all, it is the past and our experiences that shape the people we've become.
To give us a giggle at some of the hairstyles and clothes!
So, we're initiating Memory Monday and this is the first entry.
This particular photo today, is from a magical experience walking the Camino. There's a whole series of blogs on the trip here.
PS If you're interested in registering for our next Dragon Sister adventure – just drop us a note and we'll pop you on our mailing list.
4 Reasons Why You Should Always RSVP – apart from being good manners!
Don't you just love the feeling of slicing open an envelope and carefully sliding out a personalise invitation with your name on it? Even better if it's vellum, gilt-edged or embossed with a crest!
Even after all these years, and countless invitations, I still love that moment as the sharp opener slices clean the envelope to reveal its contents. Those little moments of using my letter opener are becoming rarer and rarer.
Have you noticed an increased propensity for invitations to arrive by email?
Even wedding invitations turn up via email! You can call me old-fashioned. I know electronic is better for the planet and more cost efficient, but in my book, you can't beat paper.
The days of snail mail envelopes are almost gone. Perhaps, in the not too distant future, they will be entirely obsolete.
Anyway, I digress. No matter how an invitation arrives, it nearly always has RSVP on it (répondez s'il vous plait) and a date to reply by. Of course electronic invitations can get trapped in your spam filter or the junk mail box, so you're often none the wiser till it's too late!
Responding is just plain good manners.
Yep! I can remember my grandmother always used to insist on Basildon Bond stationary to write RSVP's and thank you notes. But, aside from not wanting to appear rude, there are other less obvious reasons why you should always RSVP.
#1 – Someone has thought enough about you to place you on their guest list. They want you at their event.
Give them the courtesy of knowing you appreciate being thought of. That's the RSVP.
#2 – When we look at the business scenario – invitations are a way of saying "Hey, we value you. We'd like your company". You're being invited, you'll be giving or gaining something from your presence at the event. Hopefully, you'll do both!
Your RSVP, whether you're accepting or declining, means you respect the business relationship.
#3 – If you repeatedly fail to respond, you could well find yourself scrubbed off the database permanently. When that happens, if you're in business, it means the networking opportunities become more limited.
#4 – When you RSVP promptly (by the due date at the latest), you're showing that you respect deadlines and value the organisers time.
Your appropriately timed RSVP is affirming that you're a responsible and reliable person to deal with.
When sending a RSVP, if you need to decline, there is no need to go into any detail about why you are declining. A simple 'regretfully unable to attend' is usually sufficient.
If you are in the public eye or a position of seniority, you may well find yourself flooded with invitations. Just because you're invited does not mean you have to accept. It's perfectly okay to decide what you will and won't attend. Just make sure you RSVP to every single invitation that arrives with RSVP on it!
The easiest way not to forget is to do it immediately, or at the very least make a diary date and flag so you don't miss it. It's all too easy to forget when you get busy with the hustle and bustle of everyday living.

Have you noticed that with the growth of the internet, the popularity of Facebook and online forums, establishing a good referral system seems to have slipped down the ladder in terms of business prospecting activities?
It's my experience that some traditional methods, like a referral system in business, still very much have a place in todays business world.
When was the last time you went to a restaurant because a friend kept on raving how great the food or the service was? I bet it was pretty recently. In fact, just today, I went to brunch at a new place because a couple of friends recommended it.
Have you ever asked a family member/friend to recommend a reliable plumber/electrician to take care of your dripping taps or broken fans? I do this on a regular basis because good tradies are hard to find! Similarly, doctors, dentists, web designers, accountants and a myriad of other professionals.
Customer acquisition costs are a bare minimum.
Your happy customers are doing the marketing for you. Of course, this only happens if you give good service and are attentive to your customers needs. This means going above and beyond what is expected.
Satisfied customers are more than likely to bring in more customers to your business.
Customer retention rate is higher.
If people are happy with your services, they are most likely to keep doing business with you. It is important to maintain contact and listen to customer feedback.
The market place is generally crowded. This makes getting your message to stand out from the crowd difficult.
Conversion rates are higher. A prospect introduced to your business by someone they trust is far more likely to convert into a new client/customer.
Knowing when and how to spot a potential referral opportunity is a good way to kick-start your referral system into gear. When a happy, satisfied customer comes along and gives good feedback, grab the opportunity to ask the customer to spread the good about your business.
Conducting after-sale interactions lets your customers know they are valued and not everything ends immediately after the sale/job is done.
If you haven't got a system in place, it's not too late to start! Keep your eyes open and you'll be surprised at how easy it really is.
I'd love you to share your feedback on how you handle referrals and what systems you are using.

Women Working In The Environment
Author: Carolyn E. Sachs
Based on theoretical insights from ecofeminism, women and development, and postmodernism, and the convincing empirical work of numerous scholars, this book is organized around five aspects of gender relationships with the environment: Part I-gender divisions of labor, Part 2-property rights, Part 3-knowledge and strategies for sustainability, Part 4-environmental and social movements, and Part 5- policy alternatives. Examining women's relationship with the environment using these five dimensions provides concrete, material examples of how women work with, control, know, and affect the environment and natural resources.

Shifting Identities Perceptions and Experiences of the Bermese Nepali Diaspora in Urban Chiang Mai Thailand

Publisher: ศูนย์บริหารงานวิจัย สำนักงานมหาวิทยาลัยเชียงใหม่
Category : Social Science
Perceptions and Experiences of the Burmese Nepali Diaspora in Urban Chiang Mai, Thailand Mrinalini Rai This research studies the development of the Burmese-Nepali "Gorkhali" community in urban Chiang Mai, focusing on the cultural orientation they brought from both Burma and Nepal and which they have retained since migrating to ailand. is aspect of the community re ects a diasporic identity that is re ected in the lives of the twice-migrant Nepalis. e interest and focus in this study is the cultural representation of Nepali identity that conceptually situates the Burmese-Nepali as a Nepali diaspora in ailand. e research into the theory of diaspora and the lives of those who are part of one is still ongoing. In this research, Mrinalini Rai examines the narratives and perceptions of the Burmese-Nepalis in Chiang Mai, in order to further develop the notion of diaspora. As a result, contributes to a greater understanding of the complex dynamics and processes that lead to migration, and in particular the dispersion of the Nepalis from Nepal.

The Role of Renewable Energy Technology in Holistic Community Development
Author: Alexander Zahnd
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
Category : Technology & Engineering
This thesis documents almost twenty years of the author's work on the development and implementation of a new approach to holistic community development in remote and disadvantaged villages in Nepal. It describes the theoretical basis of the work, the main research activities, and the practical outcomes of the implemented programs. One of the fundamental cornerstones of holistic community development is the provision of appropriate and sustainable solutions for the long-term development of local communities. This requires that people's own identified needs be recognized and addressed in partnership with them in holistic ways. The author explains the many synergies that result from this holistic approach to community development. Another cornerstone of his approach is to utilise the communities' locally available renewable resources for long-term sustainable development. One of the key findings of the thesis is that improved access to energy services, such as cooking with a smokeless metal stove in a clean indoor environment, basic indoor lighting, and increased food production and safe food storage (through a greenhouse and a solar drier respectively), need to be at the very heart of any long-term holistic community development project. The thesis demonstrates that tapping into locally available renewable energy resources and converting them, through contextualized and locally manufactured renewable energy technologies, has a central role in long-term holistic community development programs. Such programs are successful because they provide both appropriate technologies and life-changing experiences for the local users involved.

Evaluating Communication for Development
Author: June Lennie
Evaluating Communication for Development presents a comprehensive framework for evaluating communication for development (C4D). This framework combines the latest thinking from a number of fields in new ways. It critiques dominant instrumental, accountability-based approaches to development and evaluation and offers an alternative holistic, participatory, mixed methods approach based on systems and complexity thinking and other key concepts. It maintains a focus on power, gender and other differences and social norms. The authors have designed the framework as a way to focus on achieving sustainable social change and to continually improve and develop C4D initiatives. The benefits and rigour of this approach are supported by examples and case studies from a number of action research and evaluation capacity development projects undertaken by the authors over the past fifteen years. Building on current arguments within the fields of C4D and development, the authors reinforce the case for effective communication being a central and vital component of participatory forms of development, something that needs to be appreciated by decision makers. They also consider ways of increasing the effectiveness of evaluation capacity development from grassroots to management level in the development context, an issue of growing importance to improving the quality, effectiveness and utilisation of monitoring and evaluation studies in this field. The book includes a critical review of the key approaches, methodologies and methods that are considered effective for planning evaluation, assessing the outcomes of C4D, and engaging in continuous learning. This rigorous book is of immense theoretical and practical value to students, scholars, and professionals researching or working in development, communication and media, applied anthropology, and evaluation and program planning.

Grapes have long been associated with garden magick and are often used in ritual to honor the harvest. Grapes also symbolize vitality and encourage abundance and prosperity. Tonight, I'll show you a little garden magick with grapes to revitalize you AND your plants! We'll make both a plant tea and a potion.
Plant Teas are literally....plant medicine! Herbal, floral, mineral, and other plant teas use plant material to transport one active principle over to another plant. Fresh is always better, but you can used dried material as well.
Potions are enchanted infusions that are often taken via drinking or used in some topical fashion. Potions have a base liquid (in this case tonight, it will be Coconut Water), and any non-edible elements added for power are removed before drinking. It's important to be sure that non-edibles do not seep toxins into the potion.
Milk Thistle: Strength and protection, healing, depression. Gingko: Associated with the Moon, high magickal energy. Echinacea: Offering to spirits, increases effectiveness. Iron: Power and strength.
Wipe your bottle down with the Florida Water to cleanse before you begin, and be sure it's dried properly before moving forward.
Add your grapes and berries to either your mortar or small blender-I used a mortar to infuse my own energy into my ingredients. Add a few dashes of ginger and cinnamon, and then add your base liquid. Blend well. Here you can also add some of the minerals you perhaps take often-I typically use potions like this in dropper bottles, adding several drops to a fruit infusion or morning smoothie to start my day. Just keep in mind proper dosage, and know that minerals may add a strong bitter taste (this is why you may wish to use a sweetener/flavor addition of some sort).
The whole time you're grinding/blending, etc. you want to be sure you're connecting with your individual ingredients and visualizing the benefits you hope to receive from them. When you've infused them all, see it all coming together to give you that magickal enhancement you're desiring! If you are planning to use a sweetener, you may wish to pour a bit of this concoction in a separate bowl beforehand!
Your potion is complete! Bottle it up and set it aside.
As the gardener, you've just magickally equipped yourself to bring forth abundance in your garden!
Now we move on to our plant tea. Make sure you know your soil and your plants' needs! I added crushed eggshells to my concoction, dried pine needles, and a bit of compost. Take your plant tea out to the garden and say a blessing over your plants as you feed them this magickal infusion!
All magick is a personal experience. You should always feel free to modify spellwork etc. to suit your needs.
One alternative to the above is to use peeled white grapes. This will produce a lovely and sweet potion.
Need to know more about plant teas, soil, and other ways to care for your garden? Head over to my Floral Witch section!
Until next time, happy potioneering!

THE MACHINE was a top 30 finalist in the world's most prestigious screenwriting competition, the Nicholl Fellowships.
Inspired by real events… A young girl in a remote African village dreams of doing bigger things with her life, but is held back by a culture that forces women into arranged marriages, forbids them from becoming leaders, and makes them herd goats as their main contribution to society. But when a UNICEF worker brings the village a computer with an Internet connection, she finally gets her chance to make a difference and uses Facebook to save her village, and her country, from destruction.
In a bustling African city, things are falling apart as a result of an evil, despotic PRESIDENT HAZOUME, who has destroyed the country's economy, and forced thousands of young children into his own private army.
But miles and miles away sits a remote village, insulated in its own little paradise, oblivious to the chaos and danger building in the city. For now.
In the idyllic village, a 14-year-old, uneducated girl named AMALI dreams of doing bigger things with her life. But unfortunately, women aren't allowed to serve in leadership roles in her village, or even go to school. Instead, she is expected to grow up and herd goats for the rest of her life.
But when a UNICEF worker brings the village a computer with an Internet connection, and connects them to Facebook, Amali finally sees her chance.
However, the long-time CHIEF of the village feels threatened by the machine, and he quickly shuts it down. Risking severe punishment, Amali secretly uses the computer at night anyway, and utilizes Facebook to try to solve some of the problems facing the village. She predicts the weather for the farmers, builds an aqueduct for drinking water and irrigation, and sells the village's fabric for a large profit. Eventually, the town council forces the Chief to allow Amali to utilize the computer for the benefit of the village.
But Amali's victory over the Chief is short-lived. She discovers "The Resistance", which is attempting to overthrow the country's corrupt President in a non‐violent coup activated through Facebook, and Amali joins online as an active supporter. Soon thereafter, BULAYO, the head of the President's private army of child soldiers, arrives in the village to arrest Amali, but she narrowly escapes to the city. In his anger, Bulayo fires his rifle in the air, accidentally shooting a goat on a hill which falls into the village's water supply, unnoticed because of the new aqueduct that Amali built.
In the city, SAMANTHA, the leader of the resistance, takes Amali in off the street. But when Samantha is captured by Bulayo, Amali bravely escapes with the laptop containing the Facebook password needed to activate the resistance. The fate of the revolution now lies in her hands.
With guards watching every Internet café in the city, Amali hikes back to her village to use the Internet connection. Just as she's about to post the Facebook message that will activate the resistance in an electronic coup d'etat that will save her countrymen from the evil despot… the Chief stops her!
And posts it himself.
The Chief explains that the entire village has fallen ill from unsafe drinking water, and the President has done nothing to save them from certain death. The Chief apologizes to Amali for not having seen the President's true colors earlier. Amali taps into her Facebook friends, who help her diagnose the sickness as cholera, and determines that the cure is simple sugar water. But with not a drop of drinkable water for miles, she downloads plans for a "solar still," a water purification device. She spends all night building it, and as the sun rises, pure water trickles out of the aqueduct, saving the villagers. Amali is celebrated as a hero, and her parents finally agree that she is cut out for something more than goat herding.
The celebration is interrupted when Bulayo and his men arrive in town and capture Amali. But when the computer displays streaming video of the success of the resistance back in the city, and the President in handcuffs, Bulayo's young soldiers turn against him and take him away.
In a huge break from tradition, the Chief offers Amali his job as leader of the village. She'd be the first female Chief ever, and the youngest, and accomplish her goal of doing something much more important than herding goats or weaving fabric.
But she turns him down. As it turns out, Samantha has offered Amali a leadership role in the new national government… as her Internet advisor.
As the sun sets on the village, Amali begins her long hike into the city to build a new government.


Purity, elegance, candour: Personal Space is the wallpaper that has been inspired by clean designs and combined with absolute geometric shapes. The repetitive design almost looks like it has been inspired by Greek aesthetic canons and fuses beautifully with the textured feel that these shapes exude. It will be like touching an unspoiled, tactile material. The delicate, yet precise play on shadows fully expresses the space dimension, where light intends to be the one and only star, creating depth in even the smallest of rooms, yet remaining utterly personal at all times.
Abstract compositions and contemporary, conceptual elements paired with intense colours, rips, wallpaper and print art exuding decidedly pop vibes straight from the end of the twentieth century. Collages feature calligraphy detailing, intense and watercolour-esque brushstrokes of colour and abraded repeated patterns, giving life to a mood that merges a myriad of contemporary accents ― optical, graffiti and vintage ― with urban art and symbolism. The result is a wallpaper that will adorn all spaces with a selection of nuances. These range from shades of grey, to metallic and material tones, to a veritable explosion of vibrant, bright colours that fuse beautifully with the design elements to create an abstract style that is profoundly artistic.


A woman and baby were left uninjured after their vehicle crashed into a house on Monday afternoon (June 25).
Sometime after 4pm, a silver vehicle collided into the door way of a property in Westonzoyland, near Bridgwater.
Fire crews from Bridgwater and Taunton arrived at the scene to make the scene safe.
The vehicle caused structural damage to the School Road building and firefighters made temporary repairs before structural engineers fixed the wall.
Police and an ambulance also attended the scene to check over the woman and the infant.
A spokesman for Devon and Somerset Fire and Service issued the following statement: "We sent one fire engine from Taunton and one from Bridgwater.
"A vehicle had gone into a building. A woman and a baby were outside the vehicle when we arrived.
"An ambulance was called to perform a medical check.
"The incident caused structural damage to the house and a breakdown vehicle was called to remove the car.
"Temporary repairs were made to the building before structural engineers arrived to repair the house."

The Division is inspired by Operation Dark Winter and Directive 51, real-world events which reveal how vulnerable the United States has become in the modern era as society has become more "fragile" and "complex". In the game, a disease that spreads on Black Friday causes the United States Government to collapse in five days; basic services fail one by one, and without access to food or water, the country quickly descends into chaos. In the wake of the devastating pandemic that sweeps through cities across the country, including New York City, it is discovered that the spread of the disease is transmitted through germs on banknotes .

Sarah and Justin are engaged! These two moved to northeast Tennessee all of the way from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for Sarah's job in the medical field. She is a cardiovascular perfusionist- she basically runs/mans an important machine during heart surgeries! Talk about a badass lady! Sarah and Justin met through mutual friends while in college in Pennsylvania. When they moved here, they took their two dogs to Watauga Lake and pulled off into a cove to let the dogs swim. Sarah had turned around for a photo of the mountains and when she turned back around, Justin was on one knee popping the question! Of course, she said yes!
Justin and Sarah are getting married back in Pittsburgh, where most of their family live. When Sarah contacted me about engagement photography, she said, "We want to show everyone our new home- the mountains of Tennessee!" I knew just the right location! I met Justin and Sarah at Roan Mountain on a warm October evening for their session. They brought their two adorable pups- Aussie and Bella- and we had a blast catching the sunset behind the mountains. The blue ridges were out and showing off!
Sarah and Justin— Congratulations! I am so excited for you two and am glad that I got to capture part of your story! Enjoy your new home and your engagement! Wishing you the best on your wedding day!


Among the new charges against Nour: calling Mubarak "ineffective" and "a loser" during a political rally last fall, beating a police officer with a stick on Election Day and putting up a statue to an Egyptian composer, something prosecutors said is an offense against Islam.
"I admit I called Mubarak a loser," Nour said wryly. "But beating a police officer? It never happened." Nour shrugged off the charge regarding the statue as "harassment."
The article is worth reading as a whole for how Nour is being treated (his cell and food constantly searched for mobile SIM chips) and how these new charges are being brought, in one theory, to prevent Nour's wife Gameela Ismail from attending a conference in Washington, DC.
The regime was off-balance for much of 2005. Now, with no (meaningful) elections for another few years, it has regained its footing and is tightening the grip. Over the weekend at least 12 Muslim Brothers, including a member of the Guidance Council, were arrested under the ludicrous charge of "trying to revive the banned organization's activities." The regional conjuncture could not be more helpful for Mubarak to get away, figuratively and probably literally, with murder.

To describe the level of difficulties on our tours we range it from easy to demanding.
Below we have added some examples to help you.
In general Greenland should be regarded as an active holiday destination, as a visitor you have to expect alternating modes of transportation and be able to board a boat without a walkway. Roads and paths are all slightly hilly. In summer the rock can be wet and slippery and strong wind can occur. In winter we have a lot of snow, ice, and cold.
An easy hike means that you need to be able to walk 2 to 3 kilometers, but in a somewhat flat area. Almost like walking on the paths in a forest.
Accessible to all those in good health and who are used to all-terrain walks and hikes.
As for dog sledding, you may have to get of the sled and walk a short distance; furthermore you need to have a healthy back, since there are bumps and small jumps on the way.
On a hike at this level means that you have to hike up and down some steeper hills. You may have to walk on loose stones and cross running water, but of course the guide will help you if you need it. Involves hiking with a daypack.
When this is mentioned in connection to dog sled, it is because you need to be able to walk up steep hills. Do not despair, though, you can always hold on to the sledge and get a little help, moving forward. Furthermore, you may need to walk downhill alone, if it is necessary due to the conditions of the terrain.
On a demanding hike, we expect you are in a good physical shape, meaning you can walk for a couple of long days with steep hills. For example on our 2 day hike to and on the ice sheet, where you need to scale 1000 meters in one day.

It's All about Scalability: Itsme® App Moves Business to the Next Level with Cloud Transition
An agile, cloud-focused approach expedites modernization and expands market reach in Belgian Mobile ID's enhanced itsme® digital ID application.
Expertise in this case
Azure PaaS Solutions and Consultancy
Azure solutions can only be made efficient, scalable and secure with the right know-how and the right project methodology. Codit gives you the tools to efficiently explore new business models.
A pioneer in digitalization, Belgian Mobile ID provides safe, streamlined, and smarter identity authentication through its one-of-a-kind itsme® application. To maintain its edge in a multi-faceted and mostly unchartered market, the company transitioned to the cloud as a feasible, future-proof solution to scale with new business prospects.
As it set out to extend the itsme® application into new countries and enhance its functionality in line with evolving third-party protocols, Belgian Mobile ID was roadblocked by its existing on-premises set-up and burdensome development process. For a quicker path towards its business objectives, the company needed a more integrated and scalable approach, moving from a local data center scenario to centralized data in the cloud. And with the application's unique position at the forefront of an emerging market, the solution needed to be developed on the cutting-edge of technology – without any existing models as reference.
Belgian Mobile ID is no stranger to innovation, having made a name for itself with its stand-out itsme® digital identity application. The app allows end-users to safely, easily, and reliably confirm their identities; login, approve transactions and sign documents using their mobile phones without the need for physical bank/ID cards and card reader. This time-saving service securely digitalizes ID information and allows users to safely share it, whether to sign documents, make online purchases, or log in to public services, with one single code. At the same time, the process enables the company's third-party partners to streamline their own processes for more improved usability on their sites or to create new business thanks to a digital and mobile identity. itsme® has today more than 1,8 million users and has already been adopted by the banks, insurance and other financial services, the Belgian government, but also other sectors as health, HR, real estate, telecom operators and accountancy.
Seamlessly connecting the main elements of digital identity (authentication, verified identity data, consent management and document signing) through the itsme® application while serving a wide range of industry verticals, Belgian Mobile ID must continually advance in market expertise, performance, and reach. As such, the pace of evolution needed to continue advancing the application became too rapid for its existing systems to support.
"We started with identification, authentication and consent management and then extended our service to include digital signatures for documents, such as legally binding contracts," says Belgian Mobile ID COO, Remy Knecht, "Then we looked to go international, expanding our services into other countries. To achieve this with our existing infrastructure, the first step would be to set up data centers for every country, but that's not scalable."
In order to widen its application's reach internationally and enable the company to efficiently grow with each new business opportunity, Belgian Mobile ID needed to transition itsme® from an on-premises infrastructure and classical java development environment to cloud-native technology. Additionally, the application's bespoke technology in a relatively new market presented the unique challenge of modernizing the technology without a similar digital ID project to use as a baseline.
"One of the biggest challenges, on the technical and business side, is that we are doing things for which there is no reference," continues Knecht, "It's a market that didn't exist – we're creating it. We're trying out new things and inventing new solutions. With our innovative services and technology, the solution is even more complex, and it's difficult to find people who can solve any potential issues during implementation."
With a clear vision of where the itsme® application would need to go, Belgian Mobile ID needed a technical team who could offer expertise on how to get there. The company looked for a partner with an inclination for collaborating on cutting-edge technology and who could guide its team through the migration.
Knecht explains, "We wanted to move from a classical infrastructure with a local data center to a cloud data center, which is a completely different set up. It also requires a different kind of expertise from a design and development point of view. That's where Codit came into the picture."
Close collaboration between development and engineering is part of Codit's DNA. "
Remy Knecht COO at Belgian Mobile ID
To clear the path for upcoming business expansions as well as any potential future opportunities, Belgian Mobile ID worked with Codit to modernize the itsme® application using cloud-native technology. Rethinking both the application's infrastructure and architecture, the Codit team leveraged Azure Cloud and DevOps to extend scalability and multi-layered protection to ensure security.
A trailblazer in a recently non-existent market, Belgian Mobile ID needed a modernized solution that would grow with its inherently innovative business. After exploring the needs from both a technical and legal point of view, the company wanted to leverage the advantages of a centralized and scalable infrastructure and decided on Microsoft Azure as a cloud provider.
The Codit team built the solution with Azure DevOps, leveraging integrated API management pipelines to migrate into the Azure cloud environment.
"Due to the security and scalability needed for this application, the solution was quite complex," explains Robbie De Sutter, Azure Architect at Codit, "all the new technologies being created, all the set-ups, are really pushing the limits of the technology that we're using. This solution is a complete suite using an application gateway to get into the Azure environment, employing the API manager, and utilizing the app service environment, which contains the different components of the itsme® application."
De Sutter continues, "The migration was one part infrastructure, one part architecture in the sense of software development, making sure that the application components know they are running in the cloud, that they can cope with any temporary issues that might occur in the cloud (such as connection interruptions) and that data is compatible with the cloud."
After first architecting what the cloud should look like and how it should integrate with the existing on-premises systems, the next phase was to get the application running into the cloud.
During the migration, the Codit team needed to account for specific functions already part of the digital ID processes, such as encrypted information from physical devices, which needed to be translated or migrated into the cloud.
Entrusted with connecting sensitive data and managing personal identities, security in the modernized application was a top priority. With experience in establishing safeguards in modernized solutions, the Codit team built on its expertise to heighten security even further with several layers of protection.
Starting from the foundation, the itsme® application's app services environments were integrated into a virtual network, using private endpoints rather than public to ensure security. Additionally, the Codit team established security groups on top of the network, implementing internal and external firewalls and fortifying the application with multiple layers.
As part of a strenuous security check, the team performed pen (or penetration) testing on the technical integrations. In these trials, Codit engaged computer hacking specialists, known as white hat hackers, to assess the application's vulnerability through true-to-life security threats, confirming that the solution's components would withstand attempted data breaches.
Thanks to a modernized itsme® application rearchitected for the future, Belgian Mobile ID can now quickly adapt its offering to address evolving needs and seize new business opportunities. The company is already tapping into its application's newfound scalability, implementing critical technical integrations like improved third-party compatibility and enhanced security, as well as widening its reach into new countries.
The resulting agile architecture provides a framework on which Belgian Mobile ID can implement faster development in the itsme® application. Equipped with this future-proof solution, the company is reaping the reward of its newly scalable application through several business-expanding projects.
"Before, it was too difficult to modernize or rapidly improve the application with new functionalities because it wasn't on the cloud," says Robbie De Sutter, Azure Architect at Codit, "The cloud-native environment has now opened it up to developments like new performance-enhancing technical integrations."
Many of these technical integrations are already under way and nearly complete, such as ensuring compatibility with the Cloud Signature Consortium standard used by Adobe Sign, resolving complexities with Open ID Connect, and enhancing security for mobile operators.
The modernized solution not only offers facilitated improvements on the application side but has also cleared the path to extend itsme® services to new countries now and in the future.
"We've already launched in Luxembourg, offering the complete gamut of our services. And this country is serving as a pilot case for further international roll out," explains Belgian Mobile ID COO, Remy Knecht, "We took this modernization as an opportunity to not only serve Luxembourg but also to make sure that our system can support any international phone number and identity. With that pre-work already complete in our system, we're now ready to connect with any additional country's identity providers and more efficiently incorporate them into our application."
"Because Codit closely follows the quick-moving evolution of cloud technology, its team offers much more applicable expertise than others who have simply been in the market for 30 years. We need that kind of mindset and perspective to help us execute our ideas on the cutting-edge of technology. "

The Policy responses to new forms of work report gives a snapshot of policy actions among a widespread sample of countries in response to the changing world of work.
The process started with the creation of a survey directed to Ministries of labour of 44 EU, OECD and G20 Member States, which is included in the appendix of the report.
After collecting the responses, the OECD summarised the countries' replies into a report discussing the most common and novel policy responses.
New forms of work were mostly understood as diverging from 'standard employment contracts' and predominated by platform work and self-employment.
Related to that, policies incentivising a proper classification of workers are widely discussed in the report, as well as ensuring good working conditions and social protection for those workers having a non-standard employment contract.
Other issues discussed are occupational health and safety, strengthening social dialogue, investing in skills and ensuring access in employment services.
complemented with better working conditions, social protection coverage and more opportunities for collective bargaining and professional development for those workers in non-standard contracts.
Lastly, the OECD recommends to create a better evidence base by collecting data and stresses the importance of collaboration between stakeholders in order to adopt a comprehensive approach to tackle the negative aspects around new forms of work.
As a consequence of a different set of influences such as technological progress, climate change, globalisation and shifts in demography, countries are experiencing transformations in labour markets and jobs. This has an impact on employment relationships and as a result on workers' rights, obligations and security.


Great performers are an exception. Typically, they sleep significantly more than the rest of us. In Anders Ericcson's famous study of violinists, the top performers slept an average of 8 ½ hours out of every 24, including a 20 to 30 minute midafternoon nap some 2 hours a day more than the average American.

'They Broke His Neck and Called Him 'Son of a F*cking Mother'
This email from Paul Wright, Editor of Prison Legal News: "The fifth circuit upheld the conviction of three INS officers who showed a depraved indifference to an immigration detainees medical indifference. After a raid a 15 year old suffered a broken back, how isn't said, but the defendants were convicted of a civil rights violation for wiping their feet on the now paralyzed child, pepper spraying him to see if he would move, driving him around Texas on the floor of a police bus, etc. He died 11 months later."
EXCERPT from opinion of the court: IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT; No. 04-20131; UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. Richard Gonzales, Louis Gomez, Carlos Reyna:
The defendants, Gonzales, Gomez, and Reyna worked as
deportation officers for the San Antonio division of the INS.
They were members of the elite San Antonio Fugitive Unit, a group that specialized in tracking down and deporting illegal aliens with criminal records. Early in the morning of March 25, 2001, their unit, together with INS agents from Houston, prepared to raid a house in Bryan, Texas. They were advised to be alert. The night before, agents had encountered an armed 15-year old near the house.
At 8:00 AM, the raid began. The San Antonio unit rushed in
the front door while the Houston officers maintained a perimeter
around the house. Minutes later, one of the house's occupants,
Serafin Carrera, lay paralyzed on the kitchen floor.
The testimony is unclear about which officers took down
Carrera, though Gonzales, Gomez, and Reyna were all involved.
The prosecution did not charge the defendants with excessive
force in taking Carrera down or with causing the broken neck
which he suffered in that process. Instead, the defendants were
convicted for their behavior thereafter.
All three defendants had close contact with Carrera while he
lay handcuffed on the floor. Carrera begged for help, screaming
"they broke me . . . Tell them to kill me . . . Tell them to take me to a hospital." In response, Gomez taunted, "From here you're going to go to jail and you're never going to get out, you son of a f*cking mother." Officer Gonzales called him "cabron" and invited his fellow officers to wipe their feet on him. The three defendants stood in the kitchen, with Carrera on the floor crying for help, trying to figure out how to get their paralyzed detainee into an INS van. Officer Gonzales, the San Antonio team leader, ordered a detention officer to pull the van closer to the house, saying "I don't want anybody to see what's going on." Next, Gonzales, Gomez, and two other officers dragged Carrera from the house, across the backyard, and into the van. Carrera complained of pain, asking to be shot and put out of his misery, while Officer Gomez pulled him through the van door and onto the front seat. Gomez struggled to position Carrera's limp body on the seat, finally leaving him slumped on his side and handcuffed. As the van departed for the Brazos County Jail, Officer Reyna asked the driver to give Carrera a screen test—an unofficial maneuver in which the driver slams on the brake causing a handcuffed passenger to lurch forward and hit his face against the screen.
The nearby Brazos County Jail was not the final destination
for Carrera or any of the other detainees. The INS Officers
merely used its parking lot as a makeshift processing area for
the illegal aliens. After processing, the aliens were to be sent by bus to New Braunfels, and then removed to Mexico.
After all the aliens were loaded into two vans, the officers
returned to their cars and followed the vans to the Brazos County Jail for processing. At the jail, all three defendants dragged Carrera off the van, hitting his head against the door on the way out. They dragged him across the parking lot while taunting him and playing with his limp body. Gonzales ordered the bus driver to open the luggage compartment, and threatened, jokingly, to make Carrera ride below. INS officers testified that Gonzales said, "Let's Mace the f*cker, see if he budges."
The three defendants dragged Carrera onto the bus. Because the bus had tinted windows, no one outside of it saw what happened next, but after a few minutes all three defendants ran off the bus choking and laughing. With a smirk, Gonzales claimed that he had an "accidental discharge" of pepper spray. A nurse was on duty at the Brazos County Jail, and a hospital just four miles away, but the defendants left Carrera by himself on the floor of the bus, handcuffed, eyes swollen shut, and foaming at the mouth. At around 11:30 AM, three hours after Carrera's neck
was broken, the bus left for New Braunfels. Carrera rode on the
floor of the bus for three more hours until he reached the Comal
County Jail. Upon his arrival, the intake nurse refused to take
custody of Carrera without a medical evaluation. He was taken
by ambulance to a nearby hospital and then airlifted to a trauma
center in San Antonio. Eleven months later, Carrera died.
The next day, the cover-up began. Gonzales called everyone into his office and assured them, "we're going to get through this." When Gonzales found out that a bus driver had already written a memo about the incident, he called the bus driver into his office and said, "who the f*ck told [you] to write a memo . .
. nobody told you to write any memos . . . I'm the one that's
going to take care of the memos." Gonzales demanded that the bus driver change his account to say that Carrera had assaulted them. The driver refused.

Baseball Legend Reads Carmine's Books to Raise His Public-Speaking Game
January 3, 2019 Carmine GalloLeave a comment
Alex Rodriguez chooses Carmine's "Talk Like TED" as a must-read book.
Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod) had one of the most storied careers in baseball history. Today he's learning about storytelling to become more persuasive and successful as an entrepreneur and investor.
I was thrilled to see that A-Rod included one of my books in his 2019 reading list. The book is "Talk Like TED" which is one of the most popular public-speaking books in the U.S. and in many parts of the world.
As the CEO of A-Rod Corp, Rodriguez has expanded beyond the baseball field to invest in real estate, sports, wellness and media. He's also a guest shark on ABC's Shark Tank. A-Rod's portfolio of assets is worth close to half a billion dollars. With that kind of wealth, the price of a book is minimal, but I hope the lessons he learns will be invaluable.
Thanks, A-Rod!

Storytelling Rocks at Google
October 4, 2016 Carmine GalloLeave a comment
Google organized the world's information and gave people access to it in a few simple clicks. Today, in the same world it transformed, Google has a challenge. If data is freely available, how does a company stand apart from its competitors?
Meet Avinash Kaushik. His official title is Digital Marketing Evangelist, but internally he's known as Google's 'Chief Storyteller.' He's THE most passionate executive I've ever met on the topic of storytelling and how it can make massive changes in a company's business.
"My job is to change the way Googlers tell stories," Kaushik said during my visit to his Google office in Mountain View, California. Along with a team of 75 people, Kaushik holds "Storytelling Rocks" workshops to spread the gospel of storytelling to 4,000 account leads, sales and marketing professionals who are responsible for billions of dollars in annual revenue.
"Avinash, when people think of Google, they think of search. They think of data. What role does storytelling play?" I asked.
"Storytelling is a powerful way to get our clients to think differently," says Kaushik.
Kaushik points out that Google provides an immense amount of data to clients who can use the information to make transformative changes in their business. But a data dump will fail to help customers if they can't make sense of it. That's where Kaushik and his storytellers step in. "The size and the scope of the change we drive is so big, that I think it is best done with stories," says Kaushik.
The Google Storytelling Framework
Kaushik has developed a storytelling framework called: Care-Do-Impact. Like everything at Google, it is carefully measured for its effectiveness. Presenters are even given letter grades on how well they perform each step of the framework.
Step 1: Care. Kaushik recommends that a Google sales or marketing professional spend the first 20% of a presentation explaining the amazing "out-of-sight" that could transform the client's business. An "insight" is a small piece of information that the client might already know; an "out-of-sight" is knowledge that is exclusive to the company making the presentation, information that can radically change a client's business.
Step 2: Do. Kaushik suggests that a full 50% of the presentation be spent on helping the client or customer understand what they should do with the information. This step requires account leads to understand the clients' business in a remarkably deep way. "We're creating a competitive advantage for Google because we will know more about your business than anyone else who comes to see you," says Kaushik.
Step 3: Impact. The remaining 20% of the presentation is spent explaining the impact of Google's 'out-of-sight' on the customer's future success. Kaushik leaves room in the presentation (10% of time) for the speaker to be interrupted with questions.
According to Kaushik, this framework represents a fundamental shift in presenting data. Where many companies overwhelm customers and prospects with mountains of data, a Google pitch must give equal weight to the data and how it will impact the company's business.
"There is a massive amount of interest among our sales team for storytelling," says Kaushik. And the way we're going to accomplish a shift in culture at Google is to make everyone a storyteller. It's very exciting. How often in your life do you get a chance to change people's minds? I tell stories that fundamentally change the way you think about something, and that's exciting."
Google has recognized the power of storytelling to propel its business forward in the 21st century. It's an important lesson all of us should learn if we hope to stand out in an ultra-competitive global marketplace.

Le Racing Club haïtien est un club de football haïtien, basé à Port-au-Prince, fondé le .

C'est le club le plus titré du pays, avec 11 championnats, et entretient une grande rivalité avec le Violette AC, les deux clubs s'opposant dans un derby qui est considéré comme le grand classique national.

Histoire

Surnommé le Vieux Lion, le Racing Club Haïtien devient le premier club haïtien à remporter la Coupe des champions de la CONCACAF, en 1963, sous la houlette d'Antoine Tassy.

Sacré à onze reprises (voir palmarès), le club perd de sa superbe à la fin des années 2000, lorsqu'il est relégué une première fois en 2007. Champion de  en 2008, il revient parmi l'élite en 2009 au point de remporter le championnat en fin de saison (son dernier sacre), avant de subir une deuxième relégation en 2011.

Le Vieux Lion remonte en  en 2013 pour ne plus la quitter malgré une exclusion pour cause de dissidence (avec quatre autres clubs) en 2014.

L'année 2019 s'avère très difficile pour le club, en pleine crise financière et institutionnelle, qui voit en mars la démission de la quasi-totalité des membres de son comité qui est réduit à deux personnes (le président Emmanuel Menard et le vice-président, Julio Cadet).

Three W&L students Awarded Positions in the Teaching Assistant Program in France Three members of the Class of 2022 will spend seven months in the Teaching Assistant Program in France (TAPIF) teaching English to public school.
By Kelsey Goodwin
MacKenzie Van Meter '22
Everett Heebe '22
Alexy Alin-Hvidsten '22
Washington and Lee University seniors MacKenzie Van Meter '22, Alexy Alin-Hvidsten '22 and Everett Heebe '22 have been awarded positions in the Teaching Assistant Program in France (TAPIF). The program offers recent college graduates the opportunity to live in France or in overseas departments of France, such as French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Réunion, for seven months. TAPIF recipients teach English to French public school students while improving their French language skills and fully immersing themselves in French culture and society. All three will begin their programs in October 2022 and spend seven months in their positions.
"I have been studying French language since I was 12 years old, and I have wanted to live in France since even before that time. Participating in TAPIF truly fulfills a childhood dream for me," Van Meter said. "I am beyond elated to have the chance to sharpen my French language skills, but also to garner a greater understanding of what it means to truly immerse oneself in another country's culture and daily practices. I know I will have a wonderful time meeting new people and exploring new places."
Van Meter attended Memorial High School in Houston, Texas, and is double-majoring in French and philosophy. She will be teaching English to middle and high school students in Versailles.
"MacKenzie will embrace the adventure of living in another culture with the same zeal and confidence she has demonstrated throughout her college experience, knowing that this is the individual path she has chosen to forge and intent on making the most of the opportunity before her," said Kristina Roney, visiting assistant professor of French.
Everett Heebe, a French major and studio art minor, was thrilled to receive her placement in the Aix-en-Provence region of France, where she will be teaching English to primary school students at multiple schools. Heebe is from New Orleans and graduated from Metairie Park Country Day School.
"I have learned a lot about the region, and I also know there is a deep appreciation for the arts in Aix-en-Provence, which is the other area of my main interests and studies," Heebe said. "I knew I could not pass up this opportunity, and I cannot wait to feel more confident in my French language skills and to help teach young students the same appreciation I have for other languages and cultures."
Heebe was admitted to the Institute for American Universities in Aix-en-Provence for its summer 2020 program. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, however, she was forced to complete the program through distance learning. Her dedication to the experience of living and working abroad led her to apply to the TAPIF program.
"I know Everett will benefit tremendously from an integrated experience in the country and will prove an asset to those learning from and working with her," Roney said.
Alexy Alin-Hvidsten, a business and Romance languages double-major, completed a three-week summer intensive course at the London School of Economics in strategic management in 2019. He will spend seven months in his position teaching in the city of Poitiers.
"Like MacKenzie and Everett, Alexy has been a fixture of our French and Italian programs these past few years, and it is difficult to imagine courses without him. He has an incredible passion and curiosity for the Romance languages, and it shows in every aspect. His French is beautiful, and he is learning to speak Italian at lightning speed," said Stephen McCormick, associate professor of French. "I will miss reading his final papers and hearing his presentations. I always learned something new from them, and I always thought what a great teacher Alexy would be."
Each year, more than 1,500 American citizens and permanent residents teach in public schools participating in the TAPIF program, which is managed by France Éducation International. The American cohort is part of the larger Assistants de langue en France program, which recruits approximately 4,500 young educators from 60 countries to teach 15 languages annually in France.

"Fastnet landing nets are simply the best landing nets I have used in over 20 years of guiding and teaching people to fly fish. The framework is lightweight and extremely durable, with overall build-quality that is second to none".
"With our time-served engineers and craftsman machining, moulding and hand-finishing each component you can rest assured that your landing net will perform beautifully in the field."
"The net itself I have to say that it is perfect. When I first received the net I was a little worried that it may be too soft, however, it has proved to be excellent. This is the best gye net I have ever used. Many similar nets out there tend to stick when sliding the net along the shaft, the Salmon Gye Landing Net I purchased has never had this problem. It is a perfect net for the roaming angler. I tend to walk at least three miles on each fishing trip, and by using the quick release peel sling I have found that it can be carried easily all day long. The 26" round rim provides a practical size both for walking with the net and for landing those larger fish. The net is superbly strong, which is essential when fishing a small but very rocky spate river. I would personally give 10 out of 10 for construction and practicality. I have another gye net in the shed. It lasted half a season, has a broken rim and is jammed on the shaft, so thank you for such a superb product."
"I am very happy with my Salmon Gye Landing Net. I caught a 16lb salmon on the river Moy in August 2010, and landed him on my own whilst on a high bank above the river without any problems. The net does not look as strong and robust as it is. It is also very light and easy to carry for hours on end; one happy customer."

Rinosh George reveals why 'Nonsense' did not get the reach it deserved
Padmakumar K December 17, 2018 02:50 PM IST
Actor singer Rinosh George needs no introduction. His music videos have been a massive hit, especially among the urban youth.His singles 'This is Bengaluru', 'Mallu', 'Break Free' and 'Beard Anthem', marked for their straightforwardness and humour, have been viewed by millions on YouTube. In a candid chat, George, whose made his acting debut in the film 'Nonsense', tells Onmanorama about his passion for music, movies and much more.
How did you venture into music?
Music has been my dream since my childhood and from the time I could remember I knew what I wanted to be. I was born and brought up in Bengaluru and ever since I was in class 2 I was crazy about music and entertainment. I used to watch MTV and I was a fan of Shaan and other singers and I always wanted to be one of them. I desperately felt the need for launching a music career when I was in the final year of my BA. So then I dropped out of the college to focus on the music and albums.
What prompted you to mix local Malayalam language in your music videos?
When I made a few English songs, there were no takers for them. So I thought of exploring a method by mixing English with colloquial dialects, we generally communicate in a metro. In fact the songs came out thus naturally and was never a conscious effort. As an artist I tried to convey the message I had on my mind. Even when I did the song 'Mallu' I never felt it was an offensive term. I found it as a cool term used for addressing a Malayali youth.
Humour has always been the highlight of your songs, how so?
Humour can attract the attention of a person. No matter how grave and hard a message is, if it is conveyed with a tinge of humour, it can attract the attention of the target audience very easily. I felt that when a person watches the content of the song he or she should be able to relax. I always wanted to give a message through my songs and sometimes there are incidents I faced in my life like in the song 'Break Free'.
Were you apprehensive about launching a musical career in the beginning?
No. When you have been aspiring and practicing something for a years you will never be afraid of its success or failure. My parents were apprehensive to a certain extent. But I never had such a fear. I always wanted to do music and dreamed of reaching cinema through that. This has always been my plan I never thought of what would happen if things didn't work accordingly.
How do you arrange the music and dance in your album?
I start with the tune that comes to mind. I will have an idea of how the music should evolve and which instrument should be played. Then I explain it to a programmer who arranges them. I don't follow it technically as I never had a formal training in music or dance.
How was your debut film 'Nonsense' accepted by the audience?
Yes, the movie was well received and was rated highly by critics. The film was gaining popularity but some inner politics spoiled the prospects of the movie. The promotion and publicity of the movie was also very weak. I received a highly positive feedback from those who watched the movie. But the fact is the movie didn't reach enough people. It had adversely affected several people involved in the movie, including the cast and crew. In fact I myself had put in eight years of efforts to get this particular film. But finally, those who were supposed to remain with the film distanced themselves from the movie pulling it down.
Which is the platform you would ultimately chose to explore your artistic talent, music or cinema?
I will be pitching in both the platforms. Presently, I would like to work with directors who may tell a good story and offer me good character. Also, I would bring out albums or singles through which I will be conveying my message to the society. Besides, I would love to work with other music directors as well. So, music will be the medium that I would choose when I decide to communicate something to the society.
Your upcoming projects?
I am planning a Hindi song right now. Also I am reading a film script. But I haven't signed any project as yet. I am waiting for a good project.

Medical Imaging Markets: Global Analysis & Outlook to 2024 with Oncology Leading by Application
DUBLIN, March 15, 2019 — The "Medical Imaging Market – Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2019 – 2024)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The major factors augmenting the growth of the medical imaging market include the rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases, increased adoption of advanced technologies in medical imaging, and rise in the geriatric population.
The burden of chronic diseases is on the rise globally, and medical imaging procedures play a crucial role in the accurate diagnosis of chronic diseases. The increase in the aging population and changes in societal behavior are contributing to a steady increase in these common and costly long-term health problems.
Most of the deaths by chronic diseases are attributable to cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and diabetes. According to WHO, the global burden of chronic diseases is expected to reach 57% by 2020. The most affected would be the emerging markets, as the population growth is anticipated to be most significant in developing areas.
New models for therapy and diagnoses are being developed, which provide precise results, help in early detection of diseases, and help minimize the cost of treating these diseases. With the increasing disposable income, people are becoming capable enough to have access to imaging procedures for early detection of diseases.
Furthermore, the medical imaging field has advanced at a great pace, stimulated by advances in digital and communication technologies. New imaging techniques that reveal greater anatomical details are available in most of the diagnostic labs and hospitals. The aim is to improve access and precision, decrease cost, and make the impact of radiation less harmful.
The trend is shifting from fixed to portable equipment. For example, until recently, size and electricity requirement have hindered the proper use of ultrasound. Today, smaller ultrasound equipment can provide color-flow Doppler imaging, relying on battery power solely.
Oncology Segment under Application is Expected to Account for the Largest Market Share during the Forecast Period
Oncology deals with diagnosis and treatment of tumors and cancers, which is one the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Among both sexes, lung, breast, and colorectal cancers are among the most common cancers in the world with lung cancer alone contributing to more than 13% of the total cases diagnosed.
According to WHO, cancer was responsible for 8.8 million deaths in 2015, including nearly 1 in 6 deaths globally. In addition, one-third of deaths are due to high body mass index, low fruit and vegetable intake, lack of physical activity, tobacco use (includes approximately 22% of cancer deaths), and alcohol use. Additionally, there are several minor side effects, such as nausea, headaches, dry mouth, diarrhea, allergic reaction, and others, as well as some major side effects, such as kidney disease, dementia, and others associated with its use, which can affect the adoption rate, and hence can be a restraining factor in the market.
Medical imaging plays a vital role in interventional oncology (with rising opportunities to diagnose and treat in a targeted and minimally or non-invasive manner) as well as in chemo and radiation therapy. Tools, such as CT, are the highly beneficial and preferred method of imaging for many conditions, including trauma patients. Comparatively, PET is mostly preferred as compared to SPECT, and there are hybrid medical devices also available such as PET/CT or PET/MRI.
North America accounted for the Largest Share in the Global Market
North America is found to hold a major share of the medical imaging market and is expected to show a similar trend over the forecast period, without significant fluctuations. The United States contributes to the major share in the medical imaging market, which can be attributed to the increasing technological advances, higher affordability rates from the population, and the number of diagnostic procedures increasing on a yearly basis.
According to OECD, till 2007, the number of MRI units being available per one million of the population was 25.9. The volume rose to approximately 39 by 2015, reported as of 2017, including 20.3 in ambulatory services and 18.7 in hospitals. MRI diagnostic is a growing field, both in terms of the number of the installed scanner and in the number of scans being performed. Based on the data by OECD, the United States is one of the leaders, second only to Japan, both in terms of availability and utilization.
Hence, with the presence of well-established healthcare facilities, increasing demand for advanced healthcare systems among the aging population, and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, the market is expected to grow in the forecast period.
The market studied is consolidated owing to the presence of a few major players in the market. The market players are focusing on R&D to develop the technologically advanced products in order to reduce the cost and side effects associated with the products. The barriers for the new entrants are high in this industry, and hence few major market players hold the maximum market share.
