The truth is that we just don't know enough about GMO food to say its safe to eat — or even for feeding to farm animals! After all, farming has been around for several thousand years — GMO's about 20 years (that's just "twenty," not twenty thousand).
Even if the science on GMO food was unbiased instead of bought and paid for by Monsanto and friends, it just isn't possible that they've tested all the possible genetic combinations on a big enough sample size or over a long enough time period to be able to accurately claim they're harmless. And in fact, it appears they're not!
On the contrary, lots of research now shows that GMO food and their associated fertilizers and pesticides (like glyphosate) are not safe for human consumption. Many more are coming out every year — while simultaneously flaws and deceptions in pro-GMO research are being exposed. It seems that pro-GMO research is more often than not bought and paid for by Monsanto and friends.
Whenever someone says that GMOs are 100% safe they just have not done thorough research. In actuality, there is no reason for GMOs to be approved as safe for either people or animals. It's really just a huge experiment that should have been confined to a sealed underground lab.
More importantly, we now realize that GMO's actually cost farmers more than non-GMO or organic crops. We could easily feed the whole planet with organic, non-GMO crops for less than GMOs, especially when you consider the costs associated with the side effects of GMO farming — ruining the land for other crops, genetic drift destroying nearby farms, genetic abnormalities in farm animals and much more.
These studies have had a lot of controversy after the original article was initially published by Collective Evolution. However, the points they make are often very technical or picking at minor discrepancies rather than looking at the bigger picture. But my main points are still the most valid — that GMO food has never been adequately tested to prove they are safe for people, animals or the environment — nor has anyone been able to justify their increased costs for farmers over non-GMOs and organic food. These facts are still the overwhelming truths!
Research from Canada has found pesticides associated with GMOs in women's blood. They also found Monsanto's Bt toxin. The study is from the Journal Reproductive Toxicology in 2011. You can read the FULL study here.
A study in the Public Library of Science (PLOS) shows that DNA fragments from food carry complete genes that get in your circulatory system through an unknown mechanism.(2) The study was based on analysis of over 1,000 human samples from 4 independent studies. This still doesn't mean that GMOs can enter our cells but it's definitely a possibility. PLOS is an open access, well respected peer-reviewed scientific journal.
This study is from the Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT), and uses data from the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture and Environmental Protection Agency, as well as several medical journal reviews and other independent research. (3)(4) The authors relate GMOs to five conditions that may trigger or exacerbate gluten disorders including Celiac Disease. The Institute for Responsible technology is a worldwide leader GMO foods education on health, the environment, agriculture and more.
NOTE: hundreds of scientists around the world have condemned the retraction of this study. The correlation between GMOs and tumors found in the study can't be denied. Something happened. Read the commentary from the original researchers here.
Monsanto Roundup is an "xenoestrogen," a "foreign estrogen" that is nothing at all like the real estrogen in your body. This can cause an increased risk of various cancers, early onset of puberty, thyroid issues, infertility and more.
A German study concludes that Glyphosate in urine and animal tissues is a major concern even at low concentrations.
A study published in the peer reviewed journal Organic Systems discusses the effects of a GMO feed on pigs. (11) Scientists fed pigs a mix of GMO soy and corn for about 23 weeks The GMOs were associated with gastric and uterine abnormalities in pigs. Pigs eating GMOs also had a higher rate of severe stomach inflammation. Because people and pigs share a similar gastrointestinal tract, this is a major cause for concern.
The first guidelines to regulate GMO were created with ZERO attention to food safety. The Statement of Policy from the Food and Drug Administration that said GMOs were "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS), were created while guidelines in Europe said safety evaluation should be based on "substantial equivalence," However, since 2003 the EU agencies for food safety found that despite their guidelines, the risk assessment of GMOs have not been followed. (12) (15) So, if anybody ever tells you that GMOs are completely safe, don't believe them! We just don't know enough about GMOs to be able to make such a definitive statement — while there is now a lot of evidence that says they're not safe at all.


Indian Market's New Life Time High & Why Stable Investor Was Silent?
First of all my apologies for keeping Stable Investor so un-updated for last one month. I know there should not be any excuses for something you are really passionate about, but this time around I was busy with preparations for the biggest investment of my life. No, I am neither buying a house nor a company. I am getting married this month. 🙂 So with so much preparations going into a typical Indian wedding, it's the site that is paying the price with inactivity. But the silence has been broken and I intend to keep it that way.
And it seems that just after the stocks in Dead Monk's Portfolio were disclosed, markets as a whole decided to look at future through rosy glasses. Markets over the last one month have just been doing one thing, i.e. going up. And in that process, they have actually managed to hit new life time highs. And to be frank, markets are not looking cheap at all. With indices commanding multiples in excess of 18.3, this may not be a very good time to think about entering the markets. (Disclosure: I don't believe in timing the markets much. Read why here). But as it always happens, when markets start moving upwards, retail interest in markets starts rising. And this once again happening now. People all around us have started asking for a hot tip or two to make a quick buck here or there. And this is how the process of losing money in the long term begins. But let's keep that discussion for another day.
Markets Making New Highs. Reasons? Unknown.
I have been a little off-track for last one month and am yet to understand as to what exactly changed in the Indian economy that is forcing stock markets to run away like this. Is it because of new RBI Governor? Or is it the US's delay in stopping the fund flow? Or is the economy really moving towards a better-than-yesterday scenario? Or is it that market expects some decent outcome from the coming general elections? Sadly, I don't have answers to any of these. I am not a pro on answering any of these. But I would do what I am capable of doing. I would continue focusing on my long term plan of wealth creation. I would try my best to do things which I believe I am not-bad (if not good) at. I would continue to keep a hawkish eye on developments linked to stable, solid companies that form the core and satellite of my portfolio.
And since I am busy with my personal life, I would continue funding my SIPs as they having been going on for last few years. I would also continue accumulating funds in RDs which would help me make bulk purchases of stocks when markets crash in near (or far) future.
So, for the time being, that's the update from Stable Investor's side. Regular posts with more financial content would commence soon. Till then, have a safe, happy and a noiseless Diwali.
And do share details of what you plan doing when markets are making new highs.
Next Entry Mailbag: I want to gift a Dubai trip to my wife. How do I fund it?
CAN WE EXPECT A PE MULTIPLE OF INDEX BELOW 15 WITHIN ONE YEAR..?
That is a tough one Harichand. I don't think I am got at predicting the outcomes in general. But its better that we stay prepared in case your wish does come true. 🙂 It might be a good idea to hold cash for a while now.
Congratulations and Wish you a very Happy married life!
And thanks a lot for coming back from break.
Balmer Lawrie is still at cheap valuations, so thinking of accumulating more shares. Any change/update in fundamentals?
For Balmer Lawrie, the price does seem tempting for long term investors and those looking for yields. But recent announcement by govt asking its own departments to avoid booking tickets through govt agents like Balmer Lawrie etc has raised some concerns. This agent fee is one of the important if not the largest revenue drivers. But it remains to be seen as to how this would eventually effect company's profitability. Company has also decided to shutdown it loss making tea business and is also looking to buy a ticketing company. This may effectively negate the ill effects of govt's advise. But it remains to be seen and its better to wait for while before taking a position in this stock.
Congratulations and wish you and your spouse a very happy and prosperous married life!

When developers started around 2003 to look into REST APIs as a lighter alternative to SOAP services, not only were the heavy set of specifications discarded, but the associated tooling was perceived as unnecessary. REST and pure HTTP being so much simpler and by nature very interoperable, why would you need contracts, code generators and other sorts of tooling?
Based on the initial experience of WSDL in the SOAP era, a first attempt at formally describing REST APIs called WADL (Web API Description Language) emerged at Sun from the same Marc Hadley and was submitted to the W3C in 2009. It had many ingredients of its successors but was hindered by its reliance on XML, the lack of development after the acquisition of Sun by Oracle and the departure of its creator Marc Hadley in 2010.
Soon after, Tony Tam started the open source Swagger project at Reverb to provide interactive API documentation and client SDKs generation for his Wordnik APIs. Swagger became well-known for its nice visual API documentation, now called the Swagger UI. It is a webapp that dynamically retrieves the API description by pulling a JSON document from the API server.
Then, developers started to produce this JSON document dynamically, for example by introspecting Java code for JAX-RS API or Restlet Framework API to collect the necessary API contract information. The increasing importance of this informal Swagger JSON document was recognized by Tony Tam and he started his journey to formalize it as the Swagger Specification.
Around 2013, three competing API description languages were emerging, each one of them taking a different starting point and offering complementary perspectives.
Swagger Specification was part of the grassroots Swagger open source project focused on code-driven developer needs without formal corporate backing by API vendors beside significant contributions from Apigee. In addition to its technical qualities, its focus on describing the core API contract (JSON format) was a strength for its ongoing adoption.
API Blueprint was created by Jakub Nesetril during a hackathon as a more human readable alternative (Markdown format) to WADL and Swagger and was launched by Apiary in 2013 with a focus on consumer-centric API documentation. The specification evolved to cover the full API lifecycle needs and tooling for mocking or testing was added. Despite availability of the whole project in open source, it was difficult for other API vendors to heavily invest in it with such control from a competing API vendor.
RAML was created in 2013 as well by Uri Sarid from MuleSoft as an alternative to Swagger, focusing on both human and machine readability (YAML format), with a focus on API design as its name indicates (RESTful API Modelling Language). It was developed to suit the needs of larger API providers. Despite the availability of RAML as an open source project, the development of a true community and support by other vendors, MuleSoft's strong presence limited its ability to be embraced as a standard.
Release after release, each initiative improved its specification and the tooling around it, developing their specific vision, taking into account community feedback, differentiating with other specifications and ultimately competing for mind share and traction.
With the announcement of the Swagger 2.0 Working Group in 2014 during the GlueCon conference, significant progress was made to go beyond the grassroots project and to structure the Swagger Specification more formally to accelerate the rate of community adoption. Additional API vendors embraced and embedded Swagger one way or another in their products.
When SmartBear acquired the Swagger project early in 2015 there were serious concerns about the ability of the project to keep its vendor neutrality and continue on its success path but Tony Tam was committed to keep the project open. After several months of intense thinking, SmartBear announced the donation of the Swagger Specification to the Linux Foundation as part of a new Open API Initiative created with several founding members including 3Scale, Apigee, Capital One, Google, IBM, Intuit, Microsoft, Paypal, Restlet and SmartBear. The specification was renamed OpenAPI Specification (OAS), keeping the Swagger project focused on the open source tooling around OAS.
In the OAI, Tony Tam took the lead of the Technical Developer Community (TDC), keeping the grassroots developer spirit alive, while SmartBear's CTO, Ole Lensmar, became chairman of the Business Governance Board (BGB). With the experience of the Linux Foundation in fostering this type of initiative (especially with the Open Containers Initiative) and the presence of a significant subset of the leading API vendors, the OAI was launched at the end of 2015. In the meantime, both API Blueprint and RAML continued their progress and I had the chance to interview their creators for InfoQ in 2015 to discuss each initiative (see the interview with Uri Sarid, creator of RAML, and the interview with Jakub Nesetril, creator of API Blueprint).
Last year RAML 1.0 was finally released, bringing a significant amount of innovation around the modelling needs of API teams dealing with an increasingly large amount of APIs and facing challenges such as API style consistency, reuse and collaboration. At this point, it became clear that while OAS had taken the lead as the standard core API contract specification, API Blueprint had developed remarkable innovations around other aspects of the API lifecycle such as the API documentation, while RAML had done the same for API modelling.
Instead of keeping direct competition between the three efforts going on, hoping that one would win and replace the two others, a better path became necessary and possible. Being close to the main actors of this story and building tools such as Restlet Studio that support both OAS and RAML and listening to our users, I realized that the ideal would be to have Apiary and MuleSoft join the Open API Initiative and contribute step by step to the convergence, not necessarily the merging, of the three specifications. On the API testing front, there are similar standardization needs, but beside the HAR (HTTP ARchive) format, only proprietary formats are available such as Postman Collections or JMeter Scripts.
On top of the upcoming OAS 3.0 release, I envision a future release of RAML that would extend the OAS specification to capture API modelling information present in RAML 1.0 today and more. It would keep OAS core simple and focused, while enabling better interoperability between API modelling tools and help protect the investment of API teams during design-time. As Restlet is part of both the OAI as a founding member, and the RAML workgroup since last week, I'm looking forward to directly contributing to such efforts.
There is also an opportunity for similar efforts around the API testing and API documentation needs, and I hope that similar convergence efforts around APIs.json, Postman Collections and API Blueprint will happen as well. On the API operations front, I see more and more the needs to define a standard specification that would enable API toolchains to automatically manage APIs in various API gateways and catalogs, reducing the needs to integrate with proprietary APIs.
Putting the API community first, Apiary made the decision to join OAI last year, and I'm thrilled to see the MuleSoft has just made the same decision. In addition, the great API Strategy & Practice conference created by 3Scale and Kin Lane (API Evangelist) has recently been moved under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation and the Open API Initiative, further bringing the whole API industry and community together. At Restlet, we look forward to working with all the OAI members to further industrialize and democratize API technologies.

M.J. Arlidge - All Fall Down
"Helen Grace is one of the most well-rounded protagonists in British thriller writing. "
You have one hour to live. Those are the only words on the phone call. Then, they hang up. Surely, it's a prank. Maybe it's a mistake or even a wrong number. Anything but the chilling truth … that someone is watching, waiting, working to take your life in one hour.
But why? The job of finding out falls to DI Helen Grace: a woman with a track record in hunting killers. However, this is a case where the killer seems to always be one step ahead of the police and the victims.
With no motive, no leads, no clues – nothing but pure fear, an hour can last a lifetime.
'All Fall Down' is the ninth novel in M J Arlidge's crime fiction series featuring the brilliant, but incredibly complex DI Helen Grace; a woman it is very difficult to get close to, who refuses to expose her feelings and emotions. However, on paper that makes her sound cold and difficult to like, but she's anything but. Helen Grace is one of the most well-rounded protagonists in British thriller writing. In 'All Fall Down', she's trying to make sense of her personal life as she is on the cusp of a new romance, but there is something not quite right. In typical Grace style, she thinks too much, analyses too much and potentially jeopardises her happiness before it has even begun.
Arlidge writes Grace brilliantly. What the character herself sees as individual flaws are, in fact, character traits we all possess. This is what makes her so relatable, and I have enjoyed all previous eight novels in the series, particularly because of Helen. I'd read about her weekly trip to the supermarket.
The crime in 'All Fall Down' is dark and as the layers are peeled away, it gets darker and more disturbing. The story and the relationships between the characters are a joy to read and the story moves on a cracking pace as the plot thickens. However, the reveal of the identity of the killer leaves the reader with more questions than answers and there's a set piece in the finale that requires you to suspend your disbelief. I confess to rolling my eyes a couple of times.
Helen Grace is a thrill-seeker. She purposely puts herself in harms way as if she's punishing herself for wanting to live a normal life. It's this vulnerability the reader enjoys and why these books have sold in their millions. However, she's not a superhero, but she was in danger of becoming one here. The final chapter sets up a potential foe for a tenth book and I hope Arlidge takes Helen back to basics and puts some fear into her life, rather than have her tearing around Southampton on her bike like the Black Widow in the Avengers films.

Overpowering SNOWMAN and SNOWMEOW, the LUNA-TAKS gain entrance to an old Thundrillium mine on Hook Mountain. During the battle with SNOWMAN, the LUNA-TAKS cause a forest fire which SNOWMAN attempts to extinguish, while SNOWMEOW seeks the ThunderCats' help. Inside the mine, THE MAD BUBBLER, a reptilian creature of pure evil, entrances the LUNA-TAKS resulting in them becoming more evil than they were originally. They attack one another; CHILLA attacks LUNA and AMOK and then flees to spread havoc around Third Earth. SNOWMEOW reaches the ThunderCats who take the Feliner to Hook Mountain and extinguish the fire. However, the fire caused the mountain's snow to melt and SNOWMAN is carried away in a flood. PANTHRO attempts to rescue SNOWMAN from a swirling basin but fails. Just as they are both about to plunge over the mountain's side to their doom, the ThunderCats rescue them with the Feliner. While battling the LUNA-TAKS in the mine, the ThunderCats are entranced by THE MAD BUBBLER. They turn evil and try to destroy one another. The Sword alerts LION-O to the ThunderCats' dilemma and he rushes to Hook Mountain. En route, a BERBIL informs him of the legend of the mine: Whoever enters will be destroyed by the evil in his own heart. On the mountain, SNOWMAN begins to dissuade LION-O from entering the mine, when JAGA appears and tells LION-O that SNARFS do not possess any evil at all and therefore they are immune to THE MAD BUBBLER's powers. LION-O summons SNARF and SNARFER to the mine where they succeed in provoking the entranced ThunderCats to chase them out of the mine. An awaiting LION-O uses the Sword's powers to project a beam around the ThunderCats, thus breaking the BUBBLER's spell.
The Luna-Taks ignore a superstition and warnings from Snowman about entry into a thundrillium mine on Hook Mountain. The caution and superstition prove to be well-founded, as the Luna-Taks find out, when they encounter the Mad Bubbler, who lives in the mine. This creature exudes a gas which causes all who inhale it to be overcome by their own bad impulses while in the mine. Restraints are undone, and individuals under the Bubbler's spell feel they must destroy or be destroyed. When Panthro, Cheetara, and Tygra also ignore Snowman's warning and enter the mine to prevent the Luna-Taks from stealing thundrillium, they too fall under the spell. Upon discovering what has happened, Lion-O at first does not believe what he learns from Ro-Bear-Bill, that those who enter the mine are destroyed by the evil in their own hearts. But Jaga confirms this in instructing Lion-O about the capacity for good and evil that exists in every creature except the species of Snarf. Using what has has learned, Lion-O sends Snarf and Snarfer into the mine where, unaffected by the Bubbler's gas, they are able to lead the ThunderCats out of the mine and back to normality.
Lion-O and the ThunderCats learn a lesson about human nature that applies to all of us. Each of us carries within ourselves the capacity for doing right and wrong. If we deny we have the potential to do wrong we fool ourselves and often commit a greater wrong in thinking we are different. When we make fun of others or bully them, we do it because we think we are superior to them, as if we are incapable of doing the same thing. Being good does not mean we are incapable of doing wrong. It means we freely choose to do right rather than wrong. It means we recognize our common humanity with others and the moral choices we make.
Who are you, really? In "The Mad Bubbler", Kimberly Morris offers an answer, devising a villain who distills all his victims down to their basest and most wicked impulses. It's an interesting premise on the surface, and the Mad Bubbler himself—LJN-inspired or not—is an entertaining fellow; but Morris's effort is awkward overall, and her snarfy solution is a far-fetched deus ex machina that could have been so much better. Worst of all, the best moments have nothing to do with the Bubbler at all.
The episode's setup is intriguing and leads to an immediate conflict. Disregarding Snowman's words of caution, Snowmeow wanders into a thundrillium mine on Hook Mountain from which no one has ever escaped. Meanwhile, Luna decides to take advantage of the mine's superstition in order to become a thundrillium mogul. The resulting confrontation is a fascinating character study and is easily the episode's best scene.
Snowman and the Lunataks have never met and do not recognize each other. They don't know one another's allegiances and, all else being equal, have no inherent reason to exchange blows. What unfolds, then, is a pure expression of their true colors. Snowman bars the Lunataks from entering the mine for their own well-being, and Luna orders Chilla to attack him. Snowman blocks their way with an ice barricade, declaring that he is concerned for their safety even if they aren't. Chilla responds by trying to burn him alive. If the big question of the episode really is, "Deep down, who are you?", then we have our answer: Snowman is stubborn and gallant, and the female Lunataks are dismissive and horribly violent. Great stuff.
What transpires inside the mine, though, is far less captivating. The Bubbler's Mine Madness compels the Lunataks, and later the ThunderCats, to express only their most vile and violent instincts: destroy or be destroyed. As Jaga explains to an incredulous Lion-O, everyone is born with the capacity for good and evil and consciously chooses one or the other. Force the evil choice, and we'll all just destroy each other. The solution, we learn, is that snarfs have no such choice—they are mindless slaves who can only do good. Setting aside all the evidence we have of Snarf and Snarfer acting dishonestly, this solution is ham-handed. Imagine instead if Mine Madness were more like truth serum on steroids, escalating petty bickering among friends into all-out combat, yet resolvable by the warm fuzzies of magnified friendship. What could have been a dramatization of our characters' true colors, foreshadowed by Snowman vs. Chilla, is instead treated as a black-or-white conflict driven by a complete lack of volition. Oh well.
Production-wise, "The Mad Bubbler" is all over the place. Much of the animation is sub-par, and two moments—Snowmeow jumping back and forth across the Bottomless Chasm and Luna crying for help after escaping the ice barricade—suggest a disconnect between script and art direction. There are some highlights, though, including a striking special effects shot of Snowman in the burning forest, Snarf subconsciously using his tail as a third hand, and a quick shot of Snowmeow peeking out the window when Cheetara says, "Look down there!" The Feliner rescue sequence is especially well done, providing a memorable thrill that the action inside the mine fails to deliver.
The mine sequences aren't all bad. The mine itself, strewn with skeletons and derelict equipment, is suitably creepy; and Bob McFadden's Bubbler is a hoot. Like an underwater cross between S-S-Slithe and Scrape who's having the best day ever, he'll chortle and gurgle his way through dull exposition and into your heart. "What'd he say?" asks Snarf. "Beats me, Uncle," Snarfer replies. "Some character, huh?" Indeed. In the end, though, the action in the mine is largely overshadowed by the tension in the episode's earlier moments, and the lesson in human nature has more to do with arrogance than with choices defining one's character.
1 ^ Because he can't read, he also misses the big sign that says, "DANGER KEEP OUT".
2 ^ The tunnel that the Lunataks conveniently escape through suggests that there have been some near successes.
3 ^ Luna's goal is odd. Control the thundrillium supply and become a kingpin? Why? The ThunderCats already have their own supply, and this mine isn't even a part of it.
4 ^ Lion-O seems insulted by the suggestion that ThunderCats might be capable of evil. Um… Grune?
6 ^ Freezing the river with Snowman and Panthro still in the water could have ended very differently.
Lion-O travels to the Berbil Village to deliver seedlings, indicating that the ThunderCats are experimenting with growing food.
Chilla demonstrates more advanced fire powers here, both in setting the forest ablaze and in fashioning grenades.
Snowmeow can communicate telepathically with Cheetara. It could be a feline thing or a sign of Cheetara's growing abilities, as in "Touch of Amortus".
The Feliner is full of water and ready to go. Perhaps the Cats have become Third Earth's firefighters!
Lion-O asks for RoBear Bill's help in getting to Hook Mountain. Berbilmobile?
LJN's unproduced Mad Bubbler action figure inspired the eponymous character's appearance and bubble-making, but Morris deserves credit for giving him life.

What is a CRT device?
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), also known as biventricular pacing, is an electrical method to coordinate and synchronize your heart's contraction in an attempt to improve your symptoms of heart failure. Not everyone with heart failure is a candidate for CRT. Your physician will screen you based on tests including your ejection fraction and your 12-lead EKG. As well, you must have persistent heart failure despite maximal medication therapy.
As discussed in the previous "Your Heart" section, the heart has its own pacemaker comprised of specialized conduction cells in the top right atrium, known as the sinus node. The sinus nodetypically fires at a rate of 60–90 times per minute. This electrical depolarization wave leads to the contraction of the upper atria with the signal traversing the AV node, located in the center of the heart in between the upper and lower chambers, to the ventricles with synchronized ventricular contraction. In heart failure, this synchronized control of the pumping of the lower chambers can be disrupted, with a resultant delay in either left or right ventricular contraction. A representative 12-lead EKG finding of this contraction delay is the presence of left bundle branch block (LBBB). Left bundle branch block (seen as a widened QRS complex) suggests left ventricular contraction delay, with the right ventricular beginning contraction first. This resultant asynchronous and uncoordinated ventricular contraction can worsen heart failure or be the result of heart failure.
Biventricular pacing can be performed as either a biventricular pacemaker alone or a bundled device, a biventricular ICD. The primary difference is that the biventricular ICD has a generator that can perform defibrillation via the specialized right ventricular shocking coil lead. As with previously discussed pacemakers and ICD systems, an atrial lead can also be implanted if necessary.
Figure 1. Chest X-ray of a CRT device in the chest.
A CRT device has a left ventricular pacemaker lead, also known as a "coronary sinus" lead. This lead is also implanted via the central veins of the chest. Under X-ray guidance, this specialized left ventricular pacing lead is placed into a structure known as the "coronary sinus". This structure is located in the right atrium and drains the blood supply of the heart. Consequently, the vein courses along the back side of the heart to the left ventricular wall. By accessing this vein, the left coronary sinus lead can be positioned along the left ventricular wall to provide selective pacing of the left ventricle that can be coordinated with the right ventricle via the right ventricular pacing lead . This resultant coordinated biventricular pacing can reduce the right and left ventricular electrical delay and improve cardiac function and symptoms of heart failure.
Figure 2. Illustration of a CRT device in the chest, with a left ventricular lead placed via the coronary sinus under X-ray guidance.
When is CRT the right choice?
Figure 3. Panel A shows an EKG strip of LBBB in a patient with heart failure and dysynchronous ventricular contraction. With implantation of a CRT system, the patient's biventricular-paced EKG in Panel B shows narrowing of the QRS-complex with synchronous ventricular contraction.
About two-thirds of patients who undergo CRT implantation report improvement in their symptoms of heart failure. This can be immediate or take weeks as the cardiac muscle remodels. However, still a significant portion of those implanted, that is at least one-third, do not respond to biventricular pacing. Medical management and lifestyle modification is paramount and first-line therapy for congestive heart failure patients.

Expect HOV Lane Closures This Summer
Construction of 95 Express Lanes continues.

By Janelle Germanos
Drivers planning on using Interstate 95 to get to their vacation destination, or even just to get to work, should prepare for overnight and weekend HOV lane closures from Washington, D.C. to Dumfries as construction of the 95 Express Lanes continues.
That's according to Susan Shaw, Megaprojects director for VDOT, who announced July 10 that construction of the 95 Express Lanes is more than 80 percent complete.
"We try to make every effort to minimize impact and keep traffic moving," Shaw said. "We do understand that this is a very heavily used corridor. We're trying to use the times when traffic volumes are the lowest."
Construction will be completed by late 2014 and will be opened to traffic by early 2015.
"While the final phase of construction may be less visible to drivers than in the past, the 95 Express Lanes Corridor remains an active work zone, in which the safety of drivers and workers are our top priority," Shaw said. "Now more than ever, it is important for the traveling public to use caution when traveling through our work zone. When you see the orange cones and barriers, slow down for your own safety and remember that there are people working on the other side."
The 29-mile system of express lanes will require all drivers to purchase an E-ZPass or E-ZPass Flex in order to use the lanes. This includes those who are driving alone, in a carpool, a slug, or in a vehicle with a clean fuel plate. The E-ZPass Flex will allow those who are traveling with three or more people to experience a toll-free trip.
Construction in the final phase of the project, which runs from Stafford County near Garrisonville Road up to 395 near Edsall Road, is focused on installing tolling and traffic management devices.
"We have over 950 tolling and traffic management devices that we need to test, and we need to test them in the field and also back at the Express Lanes operation center," said Walter Lewis, the project director for Fluor-Lane 95.
Up to 1,500 workers will be on the construction site working to finish the lanes between now and the end of the project.
"To keep our workers and fellow I-95 drivers safe, we ask drivers to support orange cones no phones by putting down their cell phones while traveling through the 95 Express Lanes work zone. No phones, no text and no distractions," said Kevin Ginnerty, director of project delivery for Transurban.
The almost $1 billion public-private partnership, which according to VDOT will make travel in the area faster once opened, began in August 2012. Six new bridges, four flyovers, three widened bridges, and 15 bridge and ramp repairs are included in the project.
"We know that this work is going to cause some unavoidable delays with the lane closures, and it can be frustrating for drivers. But we are making sure that the closures that we have are necessary to keep the traveling public and the work crews safe," Shaw said.

Continental has released the first update of its digital tyre monitoring platform ContiConnect. The web portal now has more functions, and the appearance of the entire application has been improved.
The new features link the ContiConnect services directly with fleet operations. Thereby tyre management can be improved by using digital monitoring data for physical tyre maintenance.
- Manual tyre data upload to the web portal, called ContiConnect Light, enables tyre monitoring without a yard reader station or telematics integration.

Long time Blue Jays infielder Dámaso García dies at 63
By Craig CalcaterraApr 15, 2020, 11:50 AM EDT
Enrique Rojas of ESPN reports that long time Blue Jays infielder Dámaso García has died at 63.
García played for 11 seasons in Major League Baseball, seven of which came for the Blue Jays, where he formed a well-regarded double play combination with shortstop Tony Fernandez, who also recently passed away. He began his career with the Yankees, who signed him out of the Dominican Republic in 1975. He was part of a big trade that sent him, Chris Chambliss and Paul Mirabella to Toronto for Tom Underwood, Rick Cerone and Ted Wilborn. García would end his career with short stints for the Braves and Expos.
García was a two-time All Star, in 1984 and 1985. He was the Silver Slugger winner at second base in 1982 when he hit .310/.338/.399 and stole 54 bases. He had a nearly identical offensive season the following year. Those were his two best at the plate. García also played for Tigres del Licey in the Dominican Republic, represented his country on its national team, and served as the president of the Dominican Republic player's union.
García's career came to an end following the 1989 season. A year later he was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in 1990, the surgery and recovery from which impacted his mobility. He recovered enough, however, to throw out the first pitch of a Blue Jays playoff game in 1992. In retirement he ran a baseball camp in the Dominican Republic for children who have hemophilia, which is a condition that his oldest son has.

How Conscious Capitalism is Driving Business and Social Change
Simon Mainwaring / CSR / 5 years ago
Each year, the Conscious Capitalism Movement holds an event that provides marketing leaders with insights on how to marry purpose and profit in ways that build their business and a better world. I'm thrilled to participate in one of these practicums this year, sharing best practices and case studies around the art and architecture of customer community building.
The fundamental premise behind the Conscious Capitalism movement and the training event, is that the private sector is facing an increasingly urgent responsibility to play a positive role in society. Raj Sisodia, who earlier authored a book called Firms of Endearment, and John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods, have lead this movement, bringing its core principles to life in actionable ways through their own book, Conscious Capitalism.
The rewards of embracing conscious capitalism are many and include the following:
Risk Mitigation: By defining, framing, and sharing the story of the social purpose of the brand, a company protects its social license to operate in the face of rising consumer activism. This will become increasingly important given compounding social crises that include obesity, chronic disease, healthcare, access to education, and clean water, among others. One notable example is CVS, which recently banned the sale of tobacco products across its national chains because it felt inconsistent with the future of the brand and its desire to lead the healthcare debate.
Reputation Enhancement: As a function of the web, smartphones, and social media, today's consumers are aware of the social crises that threaten their well being, and as a result, are demanding greater social responsibility from brands. This is especially true of Millennials and Gen-Z, who go so far as to say they would not buy a product, recommend a product, or even work for a company that does not reflect their core values. Such marketing trends are detailed in depth by the 2013 Cone/Echo CR Report.
Word of Mouth Advertising: While many mistake social media and mobile phones as ends in themselves, they are merely new channels and tools through which to generate the most valuable marketing of all, word of mouth advertising. This extends to motivating employees to become advocates for their company, and to customers that can become powerful brand ambassadors using their own social media channels to promote or recommend a brand. The most effective way a company can generate this is by aligning its storytelling around shared values and inspiring all stakeholders to work towards a common purpose.
If you're interested in how you can bring conscious capitalism to life in your business, large or small, I invite you to visit their website and hear from other business leaders that are going through the difficult, but necessary, transition to becoming brands that don't just build their bottom line, but also create a better world.

Kim Durlacher (BScOT, CHT) and her colleagues at the British Columbia Children's Hospital in Vancouver developed a special orthosis for babies born with brachial plexus injuries. The Sup- ER orthosis, described in the Journal of Hand Therapy in 2014, helps maintain the affected arm in supination (Sup-) and external rotation (ER) during nap time and sleeping. This specific positioning helps to lengthen the tight musculature of the external rotators and forearm supinators, and maintains maximal congruity of the shoulder glenohumeral joint while awaiting for nerve recovery and active movement to return. A recommended wearing schedule is included in the full article.
On my visit to the Miami Children's Hospital, I met with Yvette Elias, OTR/ CHT, who also uses this Sup-ER orthosis with her brachial plexus patients. I had the opportunity to help fabricate the total arm piece using Orfit Colors NS 1/12" (2.0 mm) on an adorable 5 month old! The original description of this orthosis calls for a volar based full arm orthosis, but I thought it might be easier for the parent to don and doff a circumferential version on their child. The thermoplastic orthosis is attached via the D-ring straps to a fabric based waistband that fits over the diaper.
We'll get an update from the mother soon on the ease of use of this circumferential variation!

2 weeks have passed but I'm still missing everyone at MSCE! I can never forget the warmth and love that engulfed me throughout my 11-days stay in Taiwan.
I chanced upon the application for MSCE via an email while on a student exchange program in Boston. Medical care… Faith-based programs… Small group discussions… Testimony sharing… Those words struck me! I've always wanted to participate in such a program but I'd never come across one until that day. At the same time, I was yearning to draw closer to God. MSCE seemed like a perfect fit for me! My second thought was, "are non-Americans allowed to join…?" I dropped a quick email to Margaret, one of the faculty members, and I was thrilled to receive a positive reply.
The days leading up to the camp were filled with excitement. Yet, I was apprehensive. I began questioning myself if I was capable enough, and if it was the right decision for me to accept the offer of becoming a TA at MSCE. I absolutely love interacting with people and immersing myself in another culture, as well as engaging in conversations revolving around Christianity. However, having received a negative response from someone whom I've shared the gospel with in the past, I wasn't sure if I had what it takes to share it after all. Nonetheless, I trusted God and packed my bags for it.
What surprised me at the start of my MSCE journey was how close a community the American team became within the first 2 days of knowing each other! All of us came from different backgrounds or even cultures. Despite that, it felt as though we had already known each other for a long time! It was evident that God was working within the entire team and that gave me a huge boost of encouragement.
Throughout the camp, I had tons of fun interacting with all the Taiwanese students and forging new friendships. All the presentations and small group discussions were especially insightful and educational and they were fantastic platforms to share our personal views without any liabilities. On top of that, I was very fortunate and blessed to be granted the opportunity to present my personal testimony on my birthday that happened to fall on the first full day of camp! Through God's grace, my personal sharing rekindled my dedication to God and motivated me to go all out for Him not just for the remaining days at MSCE, but also for the rest of my life.
Apart from presentations and discussions, we also participated in activities and outings! We had the privilege of relaxing by Baisha Bay, filling our stomachs at various night markets and getting cultured at a museum, just to name a few.
Nothing touched me more than the openness and receptiveness of the Taiwanese students. Previously, I was skeptical about sharing the gospel as I was afraid of causing tension between Christians and non-Christians. Over the course of the camp, I came to realize that there are in fact people out there who are willing to give the gospel a listen, and not everyone is cynical about it. This has given me the courage to actively seek opportunities to share God's Word and not be hesitant to do so just because of one unpleasant experience.
Writing this reflection alone gives me so much joy! I cannot be any more grateful for the chance to go onboard MSCE, and for all the friends that I've made on this journey. Thank you everyone for spreading God's love and inspiring me to love God even more.
As we pulled away from Taipei on the high speed rail, we were leaving behind the energy-filled excitement of MSCE camp and the new friendships we had formed with the students. The last night of camp had been filled with tearful goodbyes, countless selfies, and lots of laughter and hugs.
We arrived in Taitung after traveling by train a full day. Because of a typhoon, we took the train through Kaoshiung instead of going straight from Taipei to Taitung. Though it was a long day of traveling, we made good use of our time on the train playing Bang, sharing riddles, and taking in the greenery and mountains along the way.
On our way to Taitung!
The first morning in Taitung, we went on a tour of Taitung Christian Hospital. Lawrence, the head of PR, took us through the history of the hospital. In a video we watched on the hospital's history, a current nurse shared that she treats her patients with love because she (and the other nurses) are carrying on the spirit and love of the early missionaries. God's love displayed through the early missionaries has made such a lasting impact that decades later, that mission still lives on. It was beautiful to see how the missionaries have passed on that torch, and how individuals like Mr. Harold Lu and the staff at Taitung Christian Hospital continue to carry on the call to serve their fellow Taiwanese with God's love and compassion.
After the tour, Mrs. Lu (Catherine) and Jessica shared with us about the Galilee Foundation, which is the outreach branch of the hospital. Taitung Christian Hospital is unique in that the majority of the hospital's work is actually outreach work outside of the hospital. The Galilee Foundation actively engages with the community through programs such mobile elderly bath outreach (bringing a bathtub in a van to the elderly), orphan care (0-24 months old children), outreach to kids in aboriginal villages, mobile health care, ministering to teens in juvenile detention, families with special needs kids outreach, and more.
As we learned about the diverse outreach programs, I saw the thread of faith in all of it. When Catherine was sharing about large societal issues and how the hospital outreach seeks to fill the gap, I saw that the team was choosing to be obedient to God in "serving the least of these", even when there are many challenges involved.
WenXin Coffee – this cute cafe is high in the mountains and is part of a church led by aboriginal believers.
We also visited three elderly centers and led some lively grandmas in stretches and line dancing! It was a treat to hear the women share a traditional aboriginal song with us too.
The next day, we visited an orphanage called Hannah's House, where the staff takes care of babies from 0-24 months of age. The babies are so cute! The orphanage fills an important role, taking in babies when the government finds that the child is no longer safe in the home environment or when the parent decides they can no longer take care of the baby and willingly gives them up for adoption.
Another very meaningful part of this second week was also visiting Mackay Memorial Hospital and a private Christian hospital. It was amazing to see God working in different ways to fill different needs in Taitung through each of these hospitals – it seems that they have all found their niche in serving God and loving His people. At Mackay Hospital, we were reminded of Mackay's motto, "Rather burn out than rust out".
Sharing some laughs at the elderly care center. The grandpa at the end of the table lost a game so he is holding a microphone and singing us a song!
As I reflect on what I learned at in Taitung, I think this saying summarizes what we witnessed in each of these three hospitals we visited. God calls each person to unique role. As we saw with Irene, who moved from a city environment in Taipei to the mountains in Taitung, where God calls us may seem a bit strange. Sometimes it is very miraculous, as with Dr. Dennis, who started Taitung Christian Hospital. He had been planning to go to Africa but all the spots were filled up; at that same time, a Reverend in Taiwan asked for a general surgeon with tropical medicine experience, and that was the perfect match with Dr. Dennis' skills! With the Galilee Foundation, the staff is doing community outreach and being Christ' hands and feet even though anyone else would find these societal issues daunting. Through these examples, and countless others, I saw that when we say "Yes" to God and we are all in, He provides the way!
This second week in Taitung was an eye-opening learning experience, and I'd recommend the service trip to anyone who is deciding whether to stay another week after MSCE. It's awesome seeing the legacy of missionaries in the past, and it was inspiring to learn about the work being done inside and outside the hospital right now. To see Christ's faithfulness throughout the generations of the hospital's history to the present day is such an encouragement, and it inspires us to do the same: "rather burn out than rust out"!
It's just an overused and cliche phrase used by seasoned Christians for their godly Instagram captions. It doesn't mean much. Or so I thought.
The funny thing about cliches is that they only seem cliche until they happen to you. Through MSCE/Taitung 2018, a two-week missions trip in the island nation of Taiwan, God revealed to me grace upon grace. But what does this really mean? Well, it's simple. First, grace is the free and unmerited favor of God. We do not deserve grace, yet we are able to obtain it because of what God has done for us. Secondly, to have grace upon grace just means that there is an abundance of grace. In other words, I witnessed an abundance of God's grace during this missions trip in Taiwan. Particularly, I saw God's grace through MSCE, Christian fellowship, and the service learning trip in Taitung.
The Holy Spirit is real, and He was very clearly working in the hearts of the students at the annual Medical Student Cultural Exchange (MSCE). Although the organization which hosts this summer camp is Christian, MSCE is not advertised as a Christian camp. It's advertised as an English-learning camp. As such, I had my concerns about whether or not students would attend our optional daily Bible study at 7:45AM. I was also worried about how well I would get along with the students in my small group. I was also fearful that our presentations were not well-prepared.
I had all these doubts in my mind before the camp, but these doubts were immediately dispelled at the start of the camp. God was gracious in providing us with everything that we needed. He allowed for all the activities to go smoothly, and he blessed me with an amazing small group with students who were eager to learn. But most importantly, I witnessed God's grace through MSCE Bible study when He worked in my students' hearts.
On the very first day of the Bible study, my co-leader and I asked our students about their thoughts on Christianity. Two of them said they were Christian; another two hesitated to say that they were "kind of Christian"; the last said that she was not Christian. By God's grace, through the course of the week, our small group was able to learn of the truth of the Gospel. We covered dark topics like sin, but we also shared the good news of salvation from sin and eternal glory with Christ. Throughout the week, I wasn't entirely sure about what my students felt about the Bible study. They were quiet and reserved for the most part, and they nodded along when we asked them if what we were saying made sense. I was worried that our presentation of the Gospel message was inadequate.
But God reminded me again that salvation is not something accomplished by man. It isn't about my ability to explain the Gospel clearly. Rather, God is the only one who is able to save. On the last day of Bible study, we asked our group again about where they stood with Christ. And this time, all of them said that they were interested in seeking Christ further. Furthermore, those who were Christian to begin with said that their understanding of the Bible was strengthened. I praise God for His saving grace. As Christians, we are never promised to see the people we love come to Christ. We aren't promised to see the fruit of our work, yet God was so gracious in allowing me to see Him save these students. Praise God for that!
One thing which I wasn't expecting to experience on this missions trip was the immense joy I would find in my fellow TAs. Our TA team had never met until the very first day of MSCE, and we come from different backgrounds. However, we had the most important thing in common, that is, Christ. That was all we needed. Throughout the course of the week, we went from complete strangers to family who pray, laugh, and serve together. I'm so thankful for their servant hearts, desire to seek Christ, and love for the Word. It is only through God's grace that I am able to call them my brothers and sisters in Christ. Even if we go our separate ways in this lifetime, I'm confident that we will see each other again in heaven, perfected, and home at last.
When we hear the term "giants of faith," we often think about famous Bible characters like Abraham, David, or Elijah. But giants of faith don't only exist in the Bible; they can be seen in Taiwan too. For the second half of the mission, the team headed to Taitung to see the work that previous missionaries had accomplished. When we visited the Taitung Christian hospital, we learned of the many hardships that these missionaries had to overcome.
When resources were inadequate, the hospital staff would scour neighboring beaches for abandoned sandals in order to create makeshift casts for the patients. They worked long hours to rebuild the hospital after a devastating typhoon. One doctor in particular noticed that a crippled patient was the only source of income for his family. Rather than simply amputating his leg, the doctor performed a series of complex amputations to completely heal the broken bone. The dedication and care of these missionaries showed me just how much they loved God and the people of Taiwan.
These missionaries paved the road for others to continue the furtherance of God's kingdom. A small team of Christians with faith the size of a giant is able to make such a huge impact on an entire people group through Christ who strengthens. They were never promised to see the fruit of their work, but luckily we were able to. Building on their work, I hope to one day follow in their footsteps in sharing the good news with those who are lost.
This quote serves as a reminder to have an eternal perspective: there is an eternity waiting for us after this life. But there are only two options. People can spend an eternity in hell, suffering "immortal horrors" for the consequences of sin. Or, people can spend an eternity in heaven, sharing in the "everlasting splendors" promised to those who believe in Christ and His saving grace. Knowing this, how should we as Christians respond? I hope the answer is clear: go, and make disciples of all nations!


Before you recruit employees and hire trades persons for working as a part of your organization and representing you in the industry, it is important and also a cause of respite for you to know that the individual you are hiring is proficient enough to carry out the tasks appointed to him or her in the most effective way possible, and to use his or her own intelligence when it is necessary. Therefore, apart from conducting the usual interviews and holding group sessions, you should also consider making the potential employees take a psychometric test to determine whether or not they are the right person for this job.
Psychometric tests are methods of measuring and calculating a candidate's relevant strengths and weaknesses. They are a structured, systematic way of testing a candidate's aptitude for performing certain tasks, and ascertaining how they will respond to a variety of situations that may occur at the workplace. These tests not only provide information about the skill-sets and aptitudes that the candidate already possesses, but will also analyse the person's ability to learn and perform fresh tasks that he or she has never been faced with before.
Why is a Psychometric Test Important?
Psychometric testing is being used by many organizations to help them with the mechanical process of recruitment. These tests aim to measure attributes in an individual such as intelligence, adaptability, logical reasoning, personality, and the knack to perform under pressure, among others.
It will help an employer gauge the future performance of a candidate and also improve employee retention rate by making scrupulous hiring decisions.
This test provides a more accurate way of assessing the abilities, strengths, and weaknesses of a candidate by asking the right questions, some of which the employer may not have thought of while conducting the interview.
Since this test is a method that is carried out on a large scale where all the candidates are made to take the test on pen and paper, it will save the manager or the employer a lot of time and effort as he will not have to screen through every candidate individually, thus reducing the workload considerably.
Verbal Ability, which includes linguistic skills, precision in Grammar, ability to understand analogies, and follow detailed written instructions to the letter.
Abstract Reasoning measure the candidate's ability to identify the underlying logic behind a diagram or a pattern, and determine the solution to a problem.
Numeric Ability is based on arithmetic questions and simple mathematics. Most employers look for a candidate's ability to work with numbers, and that is why this aspect is also a part of general aptitude tests.
Spatial Reasoning skills are the ability to manipulate shapes in two dimensions or to visualize three-dimensional objects presented as two-dimensional pictures. These skills are very specific and are a requirement for Architects and Engineers.
There you have it. If you are an organization that is looking to hire, do include a Psychometric Test as a part of the recruitment process and dig out better, more highly-skilled employees with just a pen and a paper.
