Intellectual Property from Clinical Research on Neuropsychiatric Disorders: What Constitutes Informed Consent?
By Elaine F. Walker, Ph.D. & Arthur T. Ryan, M.A.
Elaine Walker is a Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience in the Department of Psychology at Emory University and is the Director of the Development and Mental Health Research Program, which is supported by the National Institute of Mental Health. Her research is focused on child and adolescent development and the brain changes that are associated with adolescence. She is also a member of the AJOB Neuroscience editorial board.
The pace of advances in biomedical research has accelerated in conjunction with new technologies for studying cellular processes. While this progress holds promise for relieving human suffering from a range of illnesses, it also poses significant and thorny questions about the ownership of new knowledge. In June of 2013, the Supreme Court issued a unanimous ruling on the Association for Molecular Pathology v Myriad Genetics, Inc.; all justices agreed that naturally occurring DNA sequences cannot be patented1. This ruling was precipitated by a patent owned by Myriad genetics on the DNA sequences for the human BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which are associated with human variation in susceptibility to cancer. The ruling concluded that genes are products of nature and, therefore, cannot be claimed as the intellectual property (IP) of any individual or commercial entity. Within hours after this ruling, other companies announced that they would offer genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 at a significantly lower cost than Myriad had been charging for years.
While the Supreme Court's ruling on the patentability of naturally occurring human genetic sequences had broad and immediate implications, it represents only the tip of the iceberg with respect to the contentious issues that will confront intellectual property (IP) rights for future biomedical advances. We can anticipate more ethical and legal debates regarding commercialization in the fields of proteomics (the study of protein structure and function), epigenetics (changes in gene expression mediated by RNA, as opposed to changes in the DNA code), stem cells, and the study of the human connectome (the map of neural connections in the brain). The implications of the pursuit of patents in these areas will extend to all fields of medicine, but they present some particularly complex problems with regard to the brain disorders that are the province of neurology and psychiatry.
By way of background, most consent forms approved by institutional review boards (IRBs) do not explicitly inform prospective participants that IP may be generated using the biospecimens they provide during their participation. Some have argued that researchers are ethically obligated to inform participants that the investigator may benefit financially from the research, whereas the participant will not2. On the other hand, it has been argued that individuals who are capable of providing informed consent would be expected to be aware that patents might be obtained on marketable biomedical products that result from scientific advances3.
Can the same assumptions be made for all prospective participants? Clinical research aimed at elucidating the causes and effective treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders are dependent on the participation of volunteers who are either at risk for, or diagnosed with, such a disorder. This includes studies of individuals at risk for psychotic and mood disorders, and dementia and other neurodegenerative illnesses. As a result, these research volunteers may be suffering from symptoms that impair their cognitive capacities. Such impairments have the potential to diminish their ability to comprehend the information provided during the consenting process, as well as their comprehension of the broader implications of their property rights to their biospecimens and the knowledge that might be generated with them4. Nonetheless, informed consent procedures are used with these clinical research populations, albeit with extra consideration given to assure their understanding of the procedures. Ruling out informed consent by individuals who may be suffering from, or at risk for, a brain disorder would severely compromise scientific progress on these illnesses. At the same time, the ethical complexities of patents on the IP generated by such research cannot be ignored.
Concerns about risk status are a motivator for many participants in clinical research. Most IRBs require that consent forms include a 'disclaimer' statement concerning the likely absence of direct benefit to the participant. Yet, it is not clear that most prospective participants, especially those at risk for neuropsychiatric disorders, are aware that they may not have access to any advances in risk prediction that accrue from the research in which they participate. Thus, if a diagnostic test that enhances risk prediction and/or informs effective treatment results from the research, participants may assume that their access to it is assured. Yet this may not be the case if the 'discovery' becomes IP and the investigator applies for a patent.
Several scenarios may ensue and these are unlikely to be anticipated by most participants. For example, the pursuit of a patent may delay the public disclosure of the research findings, and in the interim the individual may succumb to an illness that might have been prevented if the discovery had been more promptly revealed. Further, the cost of the patented diagnostic test may be prohibitive for the individual, despite the fact that the participant contributed biospecimens that were used for the test's development. While such concerns are not unique to neuropsychiatric research, the ethical concerns are amplified in the case of individuals with cognitive impairments.
If participants were informed, as is the case in some European nations, that the researchers may benefit financially from discoveries made using their biospecimens, would that affect their willingness to participate? Although we are not aware of any research directly addressing this question, the results of studies of the general population indicate that many would be disinclined to consent to research participation if they were so informed 3,5.
It is clear that research advances in biomedical risk assessment, combined with trends toward commercialization, raise serious questions that are likely to become even more salient. Perhaps the most important question we must address is what information should be conveyed while obtaining the informed consent of prospective clinical research participants who provide biospecimens that might be used for commercial purposes. The ethical issues in this arena are especially noteworthy when the study population is characterized by limited cognitive capacity and when individual participants may be motivated by the desire for illness prevention or treatment access.

National MP says rise in minimum wage will harm all New Zealanders
May 25 becomes a Day of Peace around the world
June 8, 2017 June 8, 2017 Indian Newslink
HWPL Press Release
Auckland, June 8, 2017
Across the month of May this year, global youth walked together for the environment of peace and stability in the global community.
With the theme of 'Talk & Walk to Prevent Violent Extremism,' co-hosted and endorsed by international NGOs and local organisations, citizens in 85 cities around the world were actively engaged in this peace campaign to advocate civic awareness and voluntary participation in sustainable efforts of peace-building.
Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), an international NGO under the United Nations Department of Public Information (UN DPI), organised this global peace campaign along with its peace initiative to empower the youth as the advocates for peace.
The Declaration
Since 2013, this annual event has been underway on May 25 as a celebration of the Declaration of World Peace, which addresses global cooperation for the establishment of an international law for peace, youth engagement in communities for a peaceful environment, and an increase in the role of media regarding peace-related issues.
To enhance peace-building efforts designated in the Declaration, HWPL has co-hosted the peace walk events around the world with international youth and local communities.
Event in Thailand
About 2300 female students in Satri Wat Absorn Sawan School in Bangkok prepared for an event titled 'Spreading a Culture of Peace.'
From the support from local communities including Teachers of Country's Council, Wat Thong Witthayaram, and World Buddhist Scout Brotherhood, the event showed unique features through the peace walk, student speeches on peace in five languages, and a card section performance.
"The spirit of peace delivered by HWPL is truly motivating many hearts of those who desire peace. This type of event can be further developed and organized when we cooperate with each other," World Buddhist Scout Brotherhood Founder Emeritus Yongyuth Vacharadul said.
Event in China
In Xi'an where the history of prosperity and peaceful coexistence enriched the Chinese civilization, 300 participants from the local community including students from Xi'an Middle School carried out the peace walk while holding posters with images of 10 articles of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW).
The Declaration was drafted by HWPL to advocate global cooperation for peace through peaceful conflict resolution, ethnic/religious freedom, and the establishment of a culture of peace.
In his congratulatory speech, Liu Li, Vice President of Xi'an Middle School said, "Today, this event is globally hosted throughout the world with a common voice of peace. Peace, development, and education are the main projects in the globe today, and it is meaningful and honorable that all of us can be part of the project."
Event in South Africa
On May 27, 800 youth were gathered at Civic Centre, Albert Luthuli Plaza in Cape Town to celebrate the 4th Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace and Africa Day.
Cape Town City Ward Councilor Antony Moses highlighted the role of youth in social campaigns to bring out positive changes.
"I think today is one of the most momentous days in the history of the world, in that we basically have one common grip, coming together with one common understanding to promote peace. We see the diversity and how people can interact with a common goal in mind, which is peace. Someone needs to take the stand for world peace, especially the youth. The youth are no longer the youth of tomorrow but are already in action," he said.
Event in South Sudan
Having deep scars of national conflicts from the devastating civil wars for decades, with 300,000 deaths and 2.7 million refugees, the new, young state of South Sudan was the very result of the hope of peace and stability, with the majority support of 99% for independence in the region.
With the help of the UN Refugee Camp and Community Aid for Relief and Development Organization (CARDO), 5000 community members from government, school, business, and NGOs participated in the peace walk held in two different venues on May 25, and exchanged cards with messages of peace made by local students.
As Peace Project Officer from National Development Initiative, Makoy Yuahnis Kuong said, "Embracing peace is our duty. We hope that leaders can listen to the voice of the people crying for peace. As long as we have the power to do so, we must continue to encourage and support peace activities like this peace walk."
Event in Germany
In Frankfurt, on May 27, the peace walk event held at Romer Plaza and Willy-Brandt Plaza displayed culturally colorful features.
It included a drum performance, photo session, face-painting, and a flash mob, which all attracted citizens to be more aware of the peace campaign offering easy access to civic participation in peace building.
Gernot Lennert, Research Director of German Peace Society (DFG-VK), enunciated the significance of this approach, saying, "It was fresh that HWPL does the peace movement very brightly and cheerfully. I will study and research about HWPL and (its peace initiative of) the international law much more. I want to make peace through co-working with HWPL."
Event in Republic of Korea
Every year since 2013, international youth and local citizens in major cities of South Korea gather to walk for peace.
The Declaration of World Peace was announced by Chairman Man Hee Lee of HWPL, as the beginning of a global campaign for peace building initiatives.
This Declaration was accompanied by 30,000 people marching for peace, and has become an example of advocacy for peace by citizens which many peace walk events in other countries model themselves on.
In his congratulatory speech, Chairman Lee emphasised the importance of individual contribution to peace to "make an end to war and establish a world of peace as a legacy for future generations, which is the very task of every one of our global family."

Q: PDO false positive deadlock We are running basic web app on PHP 7.0 and MariaDB 10.0. Every query goes into the database via PDO class.
The problem is that PDO sometimes throws deadlock exception:

SQLSTATE[40001]: Serialization failure: 1213 Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction

But when I look into MariaDB for deadlock specifications (using SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS), the "last deadlock" is not the real last deadlock. For example there is shown deadlock from 2019-10-01, but PDO alerted to me last deadlock on 2019-10-05. It's like the PDO is making up deadlocks. But again - it's not every time. And MariaDB property "Innodb deadlocks" (int) is not increasing, when the last deadlock is not shown in "SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS".
It is happenning just for one transaction at this time. All tables in the transaction run on InnoDB engine. It's about 40 queries (select, update, insert). MariaDB property "innodb print all deadlocks" is on. There is only one database server available to connect.
Is PDO just reporting all errors from database or can it "make up deadlocks"? Or could it be problem of old versions of PHP and MariaDB? We are planning to upgrade, but not right now.
And just for sure - I'm not looking to solve this current deadlock, but this whole abnormality.

EDIT: I found out, that this current deadlock was not "made up" by PDO. It was real deadlock, but the problem was query with "TRUNCATE" in other transaction (cron job).
Long description:
Let's assume table x1 and table x2 referencing to x1 primary key. The story was:

*

*first transaction: insert row into table x1;

*second transaction: TRUNCATE table x2; (waiting for lock)

*first transaction: update the inserted row at table x1;

And the third step caused deadlock. Even though the primary key from inserted row of table x1 wasn't really in table x2. Table x2 was just referencing to x1.

A: If you are TRUNCATEing as a step in replacing the contents, then change to:
CREATE TABLE x LIKE real;
load data into x
RENAME TABLE real TO old,
             x TO real;
DROP TABLE old;

Reviving an Industry: Research Restores Info About Charlestown Pottery
by Seth Daniel • November 25, 2020 • 0 Comments
While the Battle of Bunker Hill was a feather in the cap of Charlestown patriots, it was also the absolute death of the famous and burgeoning Charlestown pottery industry – an industry that disappeared after the battle and has only recently been rediscovered through detailed research.
Author and researcher Justin Thomas – with the help of Boston Archaologist Joe Bagley – has now brought back to life the famed industry that once brought Charlestown renown up and down the coast of Colonial America. Using resources unearthed in Charlestown during the Big Dig – and never really catalogued yet – Thomas found other examples in other parts of the country and was able to trace trade routes and fine examples of the lost industry.
"There were other endeavors in Charlestown before 1775, but this was the big industry Charlestown was known for," he said. "Because of the Battle of Bunker Hill decimating the area, that industry was lost to history. I was surprised it took 35 years for people to research and find this and bring it back…It disappeared in 1775, and was unearthed in the 1980s. It had disappeared from history for 200 years."
Thomas presented his message, and his book, 'The Dawn of Independence, the Death of an Industry: The Pottery of Charlestown, Massachusetts' in an online program of the Charlestown Historical Society on Nov. 19, to great interest.
Bringing back the industry involved a labor of love over a period of eight years, Thomas said. He first got permission from Bagley to catalog and photograph thousands of pieces of pottery unearthed in the Big Dig, and heretofore, unexplored by researchers. Thousands of boxes of historical artifacts still exist at Bagley's office and have yet to be fully explored. Thomas set out to find examples of Charlestown pottery, which he did, noting that "this stuff was pretty distinct."
Then he was able to get a log book from the most famous maker in the Town, John Parker. He was able to use the log book to track the locations of the pottery kilns, what was being made and where it was shipped. The log book covered 14 years of business and was very telling of the export routes that Charlestown pottery traveled.
"I was able to document pottery going to Nova Scotia and down to South Carolina and all points in between," he said. "Most of the stuff was destroyed in the Battle of Bunker Hill. Because of the archaeology records we discovered, we were able to identify pieces elsewhere that actually survived."
Charlestown actually was originally laid out in an English fashion to accommodate a major pottery industry. Kilns were hot and so they were spaced out from one another and from residences. Most of the pottery industries were located along the waterfront in the Navy Yard and Paul Revere Park. In the Town were stores where they would sell the pottery locally, including in City Square near the Three Cranes Tavern – which is where a lot of the unique pieces of pottery were found during the Big Dig.
"There were dozens of pottery businesses in Charlestown and all had their own docks to ship it," he said. "It was going all over New England. Parker's was the biggest operation. It is noteworthy that he did use African American and Native American slaves to make his pottery."
What was mostly made were items of utility in a distinct style with a red and yellow glaze and wavy markings with circles. The items most commonly found were chamber pots, pans, jars, pitchers and crocks.
Thomas said the pottery has now become known as Charlestown Redware, and there has been a find recently in the North End. That said, he said Charlestown is unique because people in the Town find the pottery in their backyards all the time.
"It's hidden beneath the ground all through Boston," he said.

Brunswick creates 'Blueprint' for expected massive growth
Emma Dill
Wilmington StarNews
Brunswick officials and community members are working to map out the county's future in a new long-term plan.
The Blueprint Brunswick 2040 plan will prepare for the county's population growth and will guide the development of the community in the future. Officials are currently collecting input from the community about what should be addressed in the blueprint.
The blueprint looks to accommodate a growing community. Since 2000, the population of Brunswick County has increased by 94% from 73,717 in 2000 to 142,820. The county's population is projected to increase another 44% over the next 20 years, according to data from the N.C. Office of State Budget and Management.
The project is a partnership between the county's planning and parks and recreation departments. The last master plans adopted by both departments were compiled more than a decade ago.
So, it was time to outline a new long-range plan for the county's planning, said Kirstie Dixon, the Brunswick County planning director.
It made sense for the planning and parks and recreation departments to partner because often their work is intertwined, she said.
This fall, county officials have hosted focus groups and community meetings to allow community members to provide feedback on what needs to be addressed in the county's future. They also have also used a survey to collect feedback. The public comment period lasts until Jan.1.

More:More food, shopping options coming to Leland
More:Chasing customers from residential boom, new stores set for Leland
So far, a few broad themes have emerged.
On the planning side, traffic and roads are a "hot topic," Dixon said. Other areas of concern include the need for more affordable housing in the county, utilities like water and sewer and the encroachment of developments on the county's natural resources.
For parks and recreation planning, community members want to see more indoor recreation space, more walking and biking trails and added waterway access points for launching kayaks and canoes, said Aaron Perkins, the county's parks and recreation director.
The planning process will allow officials to accommodate the community's changing interests.
For example, when the parks and recreation department adopted its last master plan in 2009, no one was talking about pickleball, Perkins said. Now, it's everywhere.
"Pickleball is a growing sport," he said, "especially for our area since we're a retirement county." Those changing interests will be reflected in the blueprint, he added.
It's important to hear from a diverse group of Brunswick County residents because the blueprint will have a significant impact on communities in the county.
"It will guide Brunswick County into the future," Dixon said.

No Room for Conservatives in Climate Politics?
Ecomodern Dispatches
This week, MSNBC's Chris Hayes tweeted a nice riff on why American conservatives remain so uniformly opposed to climate action. Among other things, Hayes wrote that "At one level resistance to climate change is perfectly natural for the right. They've seen (wrong) apocalyptic predictions before, they suspect the science is a stalking horse for more state involvement, and it's a movement/party hugely backed by fossil fuels."
Hayes here echoes important wisdom on conservatives and climate that has emerged over the past decade. As experts like Dan Kahan, Matt Nisbet, Dan Sarewitz, and others have explained, people view climate change (like everything else) through political and social lenses. A generation ago, experts introduced climate change to the general public as a problem to be solved by global treaties, massive government regulation, and -- among some popular writers -- an end to capitalism and economic growth.
So it's kinda not surprising that conservatives reacted harshly to strong calls for climate policy.
What's done is done. My present concern is not why conservatives initially spurned climate change as a policy imperative. My question is whether liberals even want conservatives in the climate debate at all.
Exhibit A: Ben Adler's post at Grist this week about Jay Faison, founder and CEO of the ClearPath Foundation.
ClearPath's mission is to "accelerate conservative clean energy solutions." The organization joins other right-leaning climate outfits, like R Street and Bob Inglis' RepublicEn. ClearPath stands out, perhaps, by being more technology-focused and taking a more skeptical stance towards policies like a carbon tax than other conservative climate hawks have.
Adler's problem is that the "conservative clean energy solutions" are not the solutions he likes. Specifically, he writes, "Faison doesn't understand what clean energy is," taking Faison to task for supporting fracking and questioning the scalability of wind and solar.
This post is not meant to adjudicate the right and wrong between the right and the left on climate. I would just observe that short-circuiting the left-vs.right climate debate before it even begins might prove counterproductive.
I don't mean to pick on Adler, Grist, ClearPath, or anyone. The problem transcends any one blog post or dispute. Liberals have spent well over a decade broiling up anger at "climate deniers" -- itself not exactly a recruiting tactic for lukewarm climate-skeptical conservatives. Indeed, the definition of the term "climate denial" has expanded beyond mere questioning of climate science to, for instance, not opposing a particular oil pipeline and embracing particular zero-carbon energy technologies.
So in some very real ways, it's become impossible to support certain climate policies without being labeled a climate denier by influential environmental leaders. If even those conservatives that proudly state their concern for climate change face accusations of dishonesty, delusion, and denial, why would we ever expect anything resembling a productive national climate debate?

GMO Go: A very cool interactive presentation of the practice of genetic engineering as it plays out "in the real world" -- in Bangladesh, where genetically modified eggplants have recently been introduced. The story features interviews with farmers who have benefited from the technology, which reduces the need for pesticides and protects against the shoot borer worm. Most importantly, these new crops will increase the livelihoods of the farmers who depend on them.
Chris Mooney and Brady Dennis at WaPo on the future of hydro, which should involve investment and innovation, coupled with the consideration of adverse environmental impacts. Additionally, the DOE has just released a study entitled "Hydropower Vision," which outlines the innovation and financing that could lead to an increase in hydropower generation and storage capacity from 101 gigawatts to 150 gigawatts by 2050. Julian Spector at Greentech Media reviews the technology development and upgrades that will be necessary for such a transformation, as well as the need for energy market reform and streamlining of the licensing process (as will also be necessary for a nuclear renaissance...).
Diane Cardwell at NYT on the difficult economics of solar, which is forcing many utilities to reformulate their rate designs.
It looks like New York might actually pass a clean energy standard that saves the state's threatened nuclear power plants.
Bill Gates, in his book review of Robert Gordon's The Rise and Fall of American Growth, applauds Gordon's portrayal of unprecedented growth from 1890 to 1970 but takes issue with his failure to perceive the continued growth that will be fueled by the digital revolution. Gates's penultimate sentence says it all: "When it comes to choosing a side in the debate between optimism and pessimism, my money is on the incredible forces of technological progress at work every day."
This editorial points to improvements in the beef production industry such as efficiency in irrigation and grain production -- advances "thanks in part to agricultural and natural resources research being done by institutions such as the University of Nebraska-Lincoln" -- and urges thoughtful debate and progress, especially in light of increasing global demands for red meat.

Parent Tip: Parents of troubled youth do best when they come together to support one another. The sense of desperation, feelings of alienation, and overwhelming despair can be lifted and eliminated when parents get together and support each other. When parents go it alone, shrouded in guilt and shame, depression may set in. When depression sets in there is a great sense of loss. Parents who attend support groups tend to experience the complete opposite experience. Something to think about.
Signs that your teen needs help: Troubled teens who are isolating themselves, seem depressed, shutdown, experiencing problems at school, anger outbursts, poor peer choices, talk of suicide, lacking motivation toward school, sports, and family. If your teenager is experiencing any of these signs for a prolonged period (such as a week or month or more), our recommendation is that you seek professional help.

Lake Shinji offers an economic benefit to nearby residents in the form of active fisheries and mild tourism opportunities, such as the various hot spring resorts built along the lake's coast and sunset cruises offered by local companies.

Lake Shinji is connected to the Sea of Japan via Nakaumi Lagoon, and as a result is made up of brackish water of good quality, which adds to the abundance of aquatic life, such as whitebait, eel, sea bass, and the most famous Lake Shinji delicacy, the Shijimi clam (Corbicula japonica). The Shijimi shellfish is caught using a 'joren', a tool unique to Lake Shinji, which is made up of a basket tethered to a rake. The shellfish is often referred to as one of the 'Shiji-ko Shitchin', the 'Seven Delicacies of Lake Shinji.'

Grab yourself a new SIM card with the data, texts and minutes you need. Whether you've already got a SIM-free mobile phone, or just fancy switching to a new plan, we have three types of SIM card for you to choose from. Basic pay-as-you-go SIMs, flexible SIMs that let you change package every month, and long-term SIM-only-contracts.
Simple and easy - only pay when you need to top-up your data, texts and minutes.
Change your package to suit your needs each month. No contract, no commitment and no credit check.
Longer contracts that refresh your data, texts and minutes every month. Usually requires a credit check.
SIM cards come in 3 sizes; Standard, Micro and Nano.
Your phone user manual will tell you. Most new smartphones including iPhone and Samsung handsets need a Nano SIM. Some new handsets use the Micro SIM. An older handset (pre 2010) may feature a Standard SIM.
Most networks now provide combi sim cards, which come with all three sizes of SIM card - just pop out the size you need to fit your phone.
Pay-as-you-go SIMS have no commitment and no contract. Top-up your data, text or minutes by top-up card, credit or debit card whenever you want and choose the amount that matches your budget.
Pay as you go is great if you don't use your phone that often or want to know exactly what your spending. There's no credit checks either so it's great if you're young or don't have a perfect credit history.
WHAT IS A FLEXIBLE SIM?
A flexible option, with no commitment, no contract and no credit check. Register a credit or debit card, choose the amount of data, text and minutes you need each month, without being tied to a long-term contract. Then, if something comes up, simply change your deal the next month to suit your new usage.
Flexible SIMs are great if you want better value than PAYG but don't want the commitment of a 12 month contract. They don't need a credit check either (just a credit or debit card) so you don't need a strong credit history to get one. Also, as the name suggest, it's really easy to change tariffs each month so if you can't make up your mind as to what package you want, these SIMs will be a great place to start.
Generally, 12 month contracts, with data, texts and minutes that refresh every month. Find the deal that meets your budget and usage needs, which will probably depend on how many calls you make and how much data you use. To get a SIM-only contract you need to pass a credit check and then set up a monthly direct debit.
SIM Only contracts are great if you want the best deals on lots of data and are happy to commit to a 12-month contract. Remember – as it's a longer contract, you will usually need to pass a credit check. Combining them with a SIM Free phone is also a great way to save money as they usually work out cheaper than taking a contract with a handset contract over 24 months.
When you take out selected Sim Only Contracts.
Make the right call on your new phone.

And if your travels take you out far from any power source then a portable charger will let you quickly recharge your phone and any other devices that can be charged via USB.
Smashed screens are one of the major bugbears of 21st century life. You can minimise the chances of it happening by getting a sturdy protective case for your phone. We have iPhone cases as well as a range of cases for all the main Android phones.
If, like for most of us, your smartphone is your personal on-the-go media hub then you'll want to ensure you have headphones that do your tunes justice. We stock in-ear and over-ear headphones from leading brands like Bose, AKG, and Sony.

Here in Colorado, we haven't quite got the memo that it is spring yet. It's slowly warming up, but the green is still very few and far between. That is why we are so excited we got to spend last weekend in California photographing Jonathan and Katie's beautiful Coto De Caza engagement session! We met up at one of my favorite parks, Thomas F Riley Wilderness park, and I was blow away with how beautiful the park is looking. Thanks to all of the rain California has been getting, it was a spring paradise. Beautiful tall grass, rolling hills and dreamy golden light—gave these two the most amazing background for their images.
As excited I was for scenery I was even more excited to see Katie and Jonathan!!! We first met these two while photographing a wedding last summer. They were filming the wedding and we immediately clicked with them! Not only did they do a great job filming the day (you can see their work here)… But they were also some of the most helpful videographers we have ever worked with!! All day they were in constant communication with us, making sure we both got exactly what we needed. And Katie was the BEST dress fluffer. I remember every time I was going to fix something, she was already there helping me. Working with them was a dream and made the wedding go by so quickly. So, a few months later when they reached out to us about photographing THEIR wedding, I was so excited and extremely honored!!
Fun side bar…. At the end of the wedding we worked together, I had told Greg it was super fun to work with another husband and wife team—not knowing they were not even engaged at the time! They worked so well together that I just assumed they had that husband-wife super power of being able to read each other's thoughts.
I absolutely loved my time with Jonathan and Katie. We spent our entire session talking and getting to know each other—and it is so crazy just how much we have in common! Like how Katie and I love true crime… and how Greg and Jonathan put up with it for the sake of us ;). I left their session even more excited about their wedding day this coming October!!

Gloomhaven 4 Player Co-Op Stream Recap and Impressions
Video 1/20/2021 at 7:30 PM by Nick Puleo 0
Wet Skeletons with Three Arms
The other night an extra heavy weight Co-Opticrew dove into the early access version of Gloomhaven, a tactical RPG based on the board game of the same name. In it we check out some four player co-op in the game's Guildmaster mode all while learning the ropes from Locke, who clearly has lived a few lives in these dungeons.
From the little we've played of Gloomhaven I can safely say it's one of the most strategic turn based RPGs I've ever played. There are several points of evaluation and decision making that go into every turn. You'll need to consider turn order, balance against card draws for abilities, chance that against modifier cards for every action, and of course all of that up against whatever the enemies that vastly out number you do with every turn.
Perhaps the most unique feature of Gloomhaven is just how carefully you need to manage your deck of ability cards against the rounds of play. If you burn through your cards too fast and you'll have nothing left to finish the round. Your strategy of choosing cards and sub abilities on each card for the round quickly can be thrown out the window due to a random enemy action or even something your teammate does.
In terms of co-op players can choose from a variety of classes of characters, each with their own unique cards and abilities. A lot of the classic tropes are here in the tank, dps, and support type roles - though things are a bit more blended.
Overall I liked what I played, the 90 minutes flew by and we had plenty of laughs along the way. There's definitely some early access quirks to the game still, but overall this could be a staple in your family or friend game nights.
Locke's thoughts
I was curious to see how the official digital version of Gloomhaven was panning out, and overall I was quite impressed. I have been through two Gloomhaven campaigns; one tabletop version, and an unofficial tabletop sim mod and the digital version makes me want to do another. Even in early access, the game demonstrated what I needed to know for it to be a comparable experience to the tabletop version.
One of the standout things I enjoyed from our foray Nick described above was the art design and animation. The game looks and feels great. The models look great, for both the player characters and the enemies. The environments make me feel like I'm playing in front of 3D model terrain sitting my table. The character animation when playing a card is the extra step a digitized board game needs to bring everything to life, and I'm here for it.
The other highlight was the user interface. There is a ton of information in Gloomhaven that you need to comprehend, and the UI in the digital version lays it out very nicely. It will take several sessions to figure out what everything does, but once you know what is going on all the information is presented in a clean and non-obtrusive manner. This will lend itself to better strategy between teammates, as well as sessions not getting bogged down by trying to figure out what happens next.
Gloomhaven is a beast of a game, and shelling out at least $100 for the tabletop version isn't a viable option for everyone. The digital release is an easier price tag to swallow, and a really great way to get into an esoteric game. It still stands as the best tabletop experience I have had with my board game group, and I would hope that the digital version of Gloomhaven will bring more people into the hobby so it can continue to flourish.

One word: superb! Everything was great from setting to amazing service!
Off the beaten path, very nice place to getaway for a couple of days on a longer trip around Portugal/Spain. Great spa and pool area, nice walking trails, and great restaurant on-site. Good for someone looking to plop down and relax. Service was fantastic.
One of the best hotels in Europe!
Barrocal is incredible. The restoration was done with so much care and we loved every detail. It's an elegant retreat. The staff was marvelous and we their spa therapists are top! We can't wait to go back.
My wife and I had the most wonderful stay here. The impeccable service, the food quality that we experienced and the beautiful grounds make this place special. They have the cutest shop where we were able to get gifts and wine. The grounds are expansive where we enjoyed a wonderful bike ride. The nearby town of Monsaraz has a nice little town and impressive castle to visit. The spa services were excellent (per my wife). The stargazing at night from our patio was also quite enjoyable. This was quite a memorable getaway and 2 days here were not enough so we certainly will be back!
Unfortunately we did not get to enjoy the property to the fullest because the weather was not nice, but the grounds are beautiful and the setting is bucolic. Or room was very spacious and had a warm and welcoming feel. The breakfast is a tasty, diverse buffet with local breads and toppings. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. There is a small exercise room in the spa which is nice but the beauty of the place is in the peacefulness of the location.

Day three of cryptocurrency held captive arrived Friday, as the markets continued in a very narrow trading range for the third consecutive day. Bitcoin was down a half percentage point, still sitting in the $11,000 per single coin level.
Other cryptocurrencies mimicked the process, essentially standing still and trading up or down mere percentage points. The outlier was Ripple XRP, down more than five percent to $1.24, continuing its plunge from $3.50 per coin.
Investors are warily watching the expiration of the first bitcoin futures contracts this week, as well as an increased drumbeat for more government regulations by various sovereign officials. Bad news continues to emanate from South Korea, where the regulators appear determined to put the brakes on its burgeoning digital currency markets. All those factors have made caution the watchword among crypto holders.
The highest price seen was $11,744.00 on the ZB.COM exchange at 10:06 pm yesterday. ZB.COM saw $49,751,700 of bitcoin change hands.
The lowest price seen was $10,275.90 on HitBTC's exchange at 4:55 am today. HitBTC's 24 hour volume was $68,408,300.
The average price on the surveyed exchanges, as weighted by volume, was $11,059.10.
Volatility was a bit lower than average, with the BlockTribune Volatility Index coming in at 49.5. A higher number indicates greater price volatility with 50 describing an average day.

Rioters smash through Wolverhampton
DudleyNewsPublished: Aug 9, 2011
Hundreds of rioters have rampaged through Wolverhampton city centre leaving a trail of smashed windows and shattered businesses, while police have also had reports of incidents in West Bromwich and Birmingham.
Hundreds of rioters have rampaged through Wolverhampton city centre leaving a trail of smashed windows and shattered businesses.
West Midlands Police also reported "pockets of disorder" across West Bromwich and Birmingham as youths continued the disturbances which have spread across the UK.
Shopkeepers in Wolverhampton have been left counting the cost after yobs hit Queen Street, Dudley Street, Wulfruna Street, Princess Street and Market Street.
Thousands of pounds of damage has been caused by the rioting, which started after youths congregated in Queen Square shortly after 4.30pm.
Up to 300 youths gathered there as riot police formed blockades in an attempt to cut off nearby Dudley Street.
A thunder flash was let off causing dozens to scatter and a man who appeared to be hurt was led away by police.
But within minutes windows had been smashed at stores across the city centre, including the Job Centre in Queen Street and Burton's menswear. The shutter at No 1 Pizza, in Market Street, was also torn, leaving shopkeepers unable to close the building.
Large groups of people played cat and mouse with riot police, who kept them on the move.
Further damage was caused to buildings in Market Street and Princess Street, with windows smashed at Royal Bank of Scotland, TA Henn jewellers, and the Tap 'n' Spile pub, while the windows were torn out at Coral bookmakers.
Around 5.30pm, the rioting hit Queen Street where several people were seen entering shops and looting goods including mobile phones.
Elsewhere, West Midlands Police have closed off a number of roads in West Bromwich and sourrounding areas, they say "to contain any incidents of disorder".
A police statement said there had been"some reports of pockets of disorder in the West Midlands", including High Street, West Bromwich.
The statement said: "In West Bromwich, there is currently some disorder and two cars have been set on fire.
"Police are also aware of some pockets of disorder which have broken out in Birmingham city centre.
"Officers are monitoring all activity and will respond robustly to any criminal incidents across the West Midlands.
"West Midlands Police will not tolerate violent behaviour and will arrest any people who commit acts of violence or criminality. Offenders can expect to be put before the courts and punished appropriately.
"We have contingency plans in place tonight which will see 400 dedicated officers working extended shifts across the West Midlands, who will be able to respond to any situation that may develop, in addition to local officers who will continue to serve and protect their communities locally."
Police asked the public for images and videos of public disorder taken on mobile phones or cameras.

Interns wanted
Sahil Shah
With the current economic downturn many companies are looking to cut costs by laying off full-time employees and hiring entry-level interns who can do the same job for free.
However, this has made internships more difficult to obtain for students looking to break into the work force specific to their major.
Marketing major, Sarah Kubai, 24, said that finding a job or an internship in her field is harder now that a lot of banks are being closed down.' She also said with the few banks that remain open it is much more competitive because a lot of people are applying for those few available spots.
Despite the economic crisis the country is going through, some people remain optimistic, saying that it is a great time to find an internship.
'Right now it's a good time to be looking for internships because so many companies are laying off employees and looking for entry level interns to do the same job,' said Ann Morey, director of the CSUN career center. 'There are lot more opportunities out there now for students to find.'
Some CSUN students don't feel the same way. They believe finding an internship is extremely hard to do.
'I've used the career center, looked at listings posted by the accounting department but haven't found anything that I qualify for,' said Raynard Kabling, accounting major.
Kabling added that a lot of internship positions are being taken up by people who have lost their jobs due to the economic crisis and who have a lot more experience, thus making it difficult to get their foot in the door.
Other students like Mike Console, an English graduate student has actually lost a job due to the economic crisis and believes that finding an internship would be hard due to competition with other candidates.
'Everything, not just internships but jobs as well are definitely more competitive these days due to the current economic situation,' said Console.
Other students who have not felt the effect of the economic crisis in relation to finding internships believe that networking is the key in finding a good position.
'I've been working at a law firm which I got through a connection I had,' said Jonathan Delvera, junior, history major.
Chris Lee, a CGI animations major seems to agree with his fellow schoolmate after finding two internships through friends and family members.'
However, both Delvera and Lee both did acknowledge that finding an internship without networks would be much harder and more competitive.
'Everything is becoming much more cutthroat now,' said Lee. 'Especially the industry I'm in, you'll see people lie and steal to earn their way into an internship or to the top of a job.'
Lee was previously a film major but switched to CGI animation after interning at a production company where he described the experience as 'weird.'
'Looking at the hours and what you had to do wasn't something I wanted to go into,' Lee added.
Recently the Wall Street Journal put out an article about parents 'buying their kids a foot in the door' with a specific company, making it easier for certain students to find jobs.
'It should not matter how you get the internship as long as you do it well,' said Morey. 'One thing we teach students in the career center is how to build and start networks, and that seems to be another form of a network.'
Morey added that companies should watch out for the laws on equal rights opportunities which could potentially hurt a company if processed the wrong way.
Advisors at the career center encourage students to their networking skills to in order to find internships.
'The peer advisors are happy to help with resources and point students in the right direction,' said Morey.

This is a hike that we have been talking about doing since we moved up here in 1997. I would have to say that once you clear tree line, it may be the most beautiful of the hikes we have taken. This is a two car hike, with one car parked at A-Basin and the other at Peru Creek.
Unfortunately I screwed up and somehow lost all of the pictures on the small camera, and did not take all that many on the large camera.
Lenawee Mountain is the mountain that Arapahoe Basin Ski area is built on (at least on the north side of the mountain). The back of the mountain (from A-Basin's point of view) leads down into the valley where the town of Montezuma is, and specifically for this hike, Peru Gulch. After oversleeping by 45 minutes, we got ourselves moving and drove up to A-Basin, where we left Marina's car. We then drove to the trail head. I would recommend a car with good ground clearance, or add an extra 1.6 miles on to your hike by parking in the parking area where the dirt road to Chihuahua Gulch takes off of the main road to Montezuma.
To get to the trail head, head out of Dillon towards Keystone on US 6. Turn into Keystone like you were going to park at the River Run parking lots, but keep going. The road will end in a T, with a left turn taking you back to Dillon, and a right turn putting you on Montezuma Road. Take the right turn. As you drive towards Montezuma, eventually the road will take a hard left, followed by a hard right. At the beginning of the hard left you will see a sign for a bed and breakfast. Then as you come into the hard right turn, you will see a dirt parking area with a dirt road leaving from it. Take this dirt road 1.6 miles. You will pass the Maid of Orleans mine, and then a quarter mile later come to a sign that says Lenawee trail Parking on your right, almost immediately followed by a sign indicating the Lenawee trailhead on your left. The parking is a bit iffy. You have to look for places on the right where you can get your car completely off the road. There is no parking area per se.
The Montezuma road is shown in red, and the Chihuahua Gulch road in purple, to the trail head.
Here is map of the hike as plotted by the GPS. Like the Sniktau hike, my modifications on how I use the GPS gave me essentially a noise free plot, even in the trees.
You should be able to right click on this map to view it alone and print it.
Looking at this map and comparing my gps plot with the trail as plotted by the USGS, you can see significant differences. The main difference is at the 1 hour point, where the USGS has the trail going straight up the mountain versus what we walked which took a more gradual route. I saw no indications of trails getting re-routed, so I suspect the USGS in this case has it wrong.
The trail itself was easy to follow, and was laid out in a manner to minimize the "ups and downs" as well as to work around boulder fields and scree. The steepest portion of the hike was the first hour, then the incline became somewhat less.
The first portion of the hike, a little over an hour is in the trees and follows a westerly coarse up the mountain. At about 45 minutes we crossed a stream not shown on the topos. This may be an intermittent stream, not running in a really dry year. It is also the only water we came across on that side of the mountain. If you bring a pet, you need water for it. If you look to the south (your left) you will occasionally see views of Montezuma.
This is a merged image of 5 pictures.
You can see the trail on the right hand side of this picture.
I have drawn in here the path of the trail. It basically goes through the bowl, always gaining elevation at a moderate pace. Crossing over the ridge brings you insight of the out of bounds markers at A-Basin. When you look at this in person, it looks very foreboding, but in point if fact it was no problem at all. The views to the south were outstanding.
We stopped below the Lenawee lift to have a 20 minute lunch and then continued down the road to US 6 and our car.

Macy's trims gift-wrapping services
Monée Fields-White, ChicagoBusiness.com
Macy's Inc. is closing gift-wrapping departments at its Chicago-area stores in the spring, except for the State Street location.
The retail chain said it has seen demand for the service dwindle companywide, a spokeswoman said.
Gift wrapping, for which Macy's charges shoppers $6 to $16, is being cut at other locations in the 850-store chain, including Seattle stores, according to news reports.
But the retailer is boosting offerings in other departments.
On Monday, Macy's announced it will unveil an exclusive, lower-priced line of men's sportswear by Kenneth Cole Productions Inc. at 150 locations.
The fall launch is part of a contract Macy's struck with the New York-based designer's Reaction unit.

New York Court Denies Defendant's Appeal in Drug Case
December 16, 2021 | Peter Howard Tilem
In a recent opinion from a New York court involving a New York drug possession charge, the defendant's appeal was denied. The defendant made two arguments in hopes of fighting the original guilty verdict: 1) that the confidential informant who provided incriminating information against him was unreliable, and 2) that the statements the defendant made to police officers at the time of his arrest were inadmissible. The court disagreed with both of these arguments, finding the defendant guilty and sentencing him to time in prison as a result of the verdict.
According to the opinion, the defendant had been found guilty of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree after police officers found crack cocaine just outside of his residence. Officers had permission to search inside and around the residence because they had received a warrant from the court; this warrant was granted because a confidential informant had provided the court with information suggesting that the defendant possessed cocaine in violation of New York law.
The defendant appealed his guilty verdict, arguing that the informant providing the incriminating information was not shown to be "reliable or trustworthy", and thus that the officers' warrant was invalid. The court disagreed. The court that issued the warrant did get the opportunity to learn the informant's identity, and the court communicated to the informant that he was sharing information under penalty of perjury. Given these facts, it was reasonable for the court to believe the informant when he provided incriminating information, and the warrant that the court issued was valid as a result.
The defendant also took issue with some of the statements used against him in court. At the time of his arrest, the defendant had made several incriminating statements to the police officers; later, he said these statements were not voluntarily given to the police officers and therefore should not have been used to make a case against him. The court disagreed. Upon reviewing the facts of the case, the court determined that the officer had given the defendant proper Miranda warnings before asking him for his version of events. Not only did the officer tell the defendant that he had the right to remain silent and to retain an attorney, but the defendant also acknowledged that he understood these rights and decided to begin answering questions anyway. Thus, according to the court, the defendant's statements to the police were not taken in violation of his rights and it was acceptable for the statements to be used against him to support a guilty verdict.

As you know, President Trump authorized airstrikes against Syria in response to Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons against the Syrian people.
McCain and Graham statement: "Unlike the previous administration, President Trump confronted a pivotal moment in Syria and took action."
The dig at the Obama administration will not go unnoticed. I expect there will be a lot of finger-pointing by former Obama officials in the coming days. They'll likely be complaining about Congressional Republicans tying President Obama's hands but such trivial nonsense will go unnoticed.
