SIRIN LABS Releases $999 Blockchain Phone: 'FINNEY'
P. H. Madore in HeadlinesMarkets News & Opinions November 29, 2018, 11:04 PM
The FINNEY phone came out today at a launch event in Barcelona.
The $999 phone is the first of its kind, integrating blockchain technology at its core in order that its users may securely use blockchain products. The product aims to address issues that cryptonaughts face in mobile computing, particularly those related to securely transacting, and it is the latest in a projected long line of offerings from the makers of SOLARIN.
The phone runs on SirinOS, which is a fork of Android with the express intention of more deeply integrating blockchain capabilities and a decentralized application ("dApp") marketplace. It sports a secondary screen called a "safe screen" which is two inches in size and allows the user to securely access a built-in cold storage wallet. In shape and design, it is not unlike the SOLARIN.
SirinOS will not be limited to the FINNEY, as SIRIN LABS said in their launch statement today that they are "also looking for strategic OEMs to implement SIRIN OS™ in additional consumer devices." This means that the launch could attract interest from other phone manufacturers like ASUS, Motorola, or Huawei. HTC has already announced its own intentions to bring a phone to market, but they also have a history of supporting multiple operating systems, having at one time had both a popular Windows phone and several Android phones on the market. Dedicated HTC users have even managed to get Blackberry's operating system running on the hardware.
Sirin simultaneously launched a "concept store" in London which will double as an educational hub for users. That is: people who buy this phone for its other features (such as security and competitive design) will be able to have all their questions answered at this place. The pre-launch website bills an "incentivized learning" platform or "learn and earn." The description amounts to a blockchain-based Apple Genius Bar.
In anticipation of SirinOS, the FINNEY Phone, and the stores being launched, the SRN token has been available for some time on several exchanges. It is described as a "utility token" which acts as the cornerstone of the presented ecosystem. Exactly what role it plays was outlined in their March release of the whitepaper:
"[…] purchasing SIRIN LABS's products, applications and services from the moment the SRN tokens are issued and distributed to crowdsale participants (24hr. after crowdsale ends). Moreover, special discounts will be given to SRN Token holders who pre-order or purchase products from SIRIN LABS using their SRN tokens."
The Queen Likes Blockchain – And I'm Convinced It's No Empty Gesture
Blockchain Voting Used By Danish Political Party
True to their word, those who purchase the FINNEY with SRN tokens will receive a 10% discount today. The token was trading at around ten cents Thursday morning.
Foxconn Partnership
Speaking of Apple, Sirin has gone into business with the same manufacturer as Apple, using Foxconn to mass-produce the world's first blockchain phone on the market. In an interview with CCN.com, SIRIN CMO Nimrod May said:
"By choosing Foxconn to build the FINNEY, we're demonstrating the public's desire to have a mass-market smartphone that is able to safely and securely operate within blockchain and cryptocurrencies."
A Native Mobile Platform for DApps?
There are inherent limitations to requiring every application installation to have a separate wallet implementation, and so forth. SIRIN's phone seems to be one effort in reducing this friction – with crypto built-in at the core, developers will now have a target device replete with a decentralized applications market to get listed in. Whether or not the FINNEY is a successful product, the introduction of a fully-developed crypto OS for phones is an important milestone for cryptocurrency as a whole.
$999 Price Point
There was a time when $999 would sound like too much for a phone, even an executive-class phone which puts next-generation financial management solutions in one's pocket, but these days it is a price point which can be considered competitive when all of the features, unique and industry-standard, are considered. The FINNEY sports a 12MP camera, 128GB built-in storage (expandable), the noted "safe screen," the ability to run regular apps from Android, and, of course, a world of possibilities through the decentralized applications forthcoming.
CCN.com attended the launch event and had an opportunity to spend some hands-on time with the Finney. Stay tuned for further coverage.

How do I make sense of all these files? Overview and product descriptions
I only need a few numbers!: On-line access to tables, maps, and reports
I need lots of data or information for several places: Retrieving datasets for analysis
Overview and Product Descriptions
2000 Census of Population and Housing
2000 Census data are available in a number of products and formats. For a concise introduction to what's available, look at the Introduction to Census 2000 Data Products (PDF). Descriptions of the major files are included below:
Redistricting file
Summary File 1 (SF1)
Demographic Profiles
PUMS Files
Special Files
Redistricting data
The first release of census information is known as redistricting data because it is used by state and local governments to re-draw the boundaries of electoral districts. Data are available down to the smallest geographic level (blocks), but the product contains only four tables covering a limited set of demographic characteristics related to voting laws: detailed race, Hispanic origin, and the population over 18. Data for the population under 18 may be calculated from these results. The racial categories in the 2000 Census are very complicated, as individuals were able to choose more than one racial category for the first time in Census history.
Summary list of population counts available in redistricting data
Technical documentation for redistricting data (PDF)
SF1 - Summary File 1
Summary File 1 contains the information collected in the short form, the basic questionnaire distributed to all households. Because of this, SF1 data are sometimes referred to as "100 percent data" or "count data". Most of the SF1 tables are available down to the block level (P and H tables), however, the PCT tables provide information only down to the census tract level. SF1 includes tables on gender, age, household size and type, presence of children and other relatives, family structure, group quarters populations, housing occupancy, tenure (owner vs. renter), and race and age of householder. Several tables in each group are repeated for the summary racial categories and Hispanic.
Prior to the release of SF1 and SF3, the Bureau released profiles based on these products which are designed to give a thumbnail view of a particular geographic area. The full set of profiles contains four pages of summary information: one page of 100 percent data, and three pages of sample data. They are available for the nation, states, counties, places, MSAs, American Indian reservations, and Congressional Districts (106th). For states and the nation, 1990 data are available for comparison purposes. They are available only in Excel or PDF format.
Summary File 2 contains many of the PCT and HCT tables in SF1 for 249 detailed race and Hispanic categories. These data are most useful for finding information on very specific race and ethnicity groups, such as particular American Indian tribes, Hispanic sub-groups (such as Chicano), or multi-racial combinations.
Summary File 3 contains the information collected in the long form that was distributed to approximately one in six households. It is sometimes referred to as "sample data." In addition to the demographic basics covered in SF1, SF3 contains information on marital status, language, place of birth, migration, journey to work, education, veteran status, disability, employment status, industry and occupation, income and poverty. Housing characteristics include type and age of structure, heating fuel, telephone, vehicles, plumbing and kitchen facilities, rent, value, mortgage status and monthly owner costs. P and H tables are available down to the block group level, while PCT and HCT tables are available down to the tract. Several tables in each group are repeated for the major racial categories and Hispanic.
Summary File 4 contains many of the PCT and HCT tables in SF3 for 336 possible population groups comprising detailed race and Hispanic categories and ancestry groups. Due to the detailed nature of the race/ethnicity/ancestry detail, the tables are subject to population thresholds and are not available for every group. As with SF2, these data are most useful for finding information on very specific race and ethnicity groups, such as particular American Indian tribes, Hispanic sub-groups (such as Chicano), multi-racial combinations, or information on ancestry groups.
PUMS files - Public Use Microdata Sample
Unlike the summary products described above, the Public Use Microdata Files allow researchers to work directly with a set of person- or housing unit-records to create their own tables. The 1% PUMS sample provides data for analysis at the national and state levels, and for areas with populations over 400,000. It is due to be released in December 2002. The 5% sample can be used to produce data for smaller areas of 100,000 or more. It is due for release in summer 2003.
County-to-County Worker Flow Files
Also known as Commuting Pattern data, these files provide county level information on the movement of workers between their residence and place of work. The files are available in two sort orders: one showing where everyone who lives in a given county works, and the other showing where everyone who works in a given county lives. Available as Excel spreadsheets or in plain text format.
On-line access to tables, maps, and reports
American FactFinder is the Census Bureau's site for on-line access to statistical information from Census 2000 and several other major numerical data sets. It provides quick access to summary tables, reports and maps from a wide array of products, including all of those listed above. You can access data at any geographic level for which they are produced. It is a great tool for finding numbers quickly, downloading a few tables, or for browsing among different products. However, it is cumbersome for constructing complicated tables or downloading data for multiple areas. Its performance may also be unbearably slow if you are working from a modem or other low-speed access line. FactFinder has an extensive "help" page with tutorials for working with tables and maps.
Census 2000 Gateway is the main page for Census 2000 products. Much of what you can get here is also available on American Factfinder, but this page has some useful links to special files from the 2000 Census, and to tables ranking states and counties by key demographic indicators. The Notes and Errata report is the only place to find corrected counts resulting from the Count Question Resolution program.
CensusScope, created by the Social Science Data Analysis Network at the University of Michigan, provides charts, maps, and rankings of census data. Easy to navigate, this an excellent source for demographic analysis. As of early 2003, most of the information on the site relates to analysis of race, age, and household composition at the national, state, and county levels.
Census 2000 Briefs series provides subject-specific analyses of Census 2000 population and housing topics to the public. The reports deal with national trends and very rarely contain information about specific geographic areas. Most contain some tabular information drawn from one of the summary files. Many of the briefs provide information on specific racial and hispanic populations.
Census tract and block locator maps are the electronic companions to the print maps produced in previous years. Maps are released in PDF format on a state-by-state basis as they are completed. They will not be provided in print form for the 2000 Census, nor will their release schedule follow the data release schedule. The size of these maps (over 30 inches in width) make them difficult to print on standard printers. Smaller reference maps may also be obtained through the "Thematic Maps" option of American FactFinder.
Sample map [PDF format]
Congressional Apportionment Reports. State population totals from the 2000 Census determine how congressional seats will be distributed among the states for the next decade. This page provides tables and maps detailing the apportionment changes.
The Missouri Census Data Center contains a complete set of demographic profile data for 1990 and 2000. Most tables contain both numerical and percent data for both decades, as well as percent change, for the nation, regions, states, counties, metro areas, places of 10,000 or more, and 5-digit zip code areas. To access data for states other than Missouri, Illinois, or Kansas, click on "US" in their summary table. The data may be viewed, or extracted for download, although files for each decade must be extracted separately. The Missouri Census Data Center has converted the 2000 5% PUMS file to SAS datasets. Go to http://mcdc2.missouri.edu/data/pums2000/Readme.html for more information.
Data for Virginia only are available at the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service. They offer the complete set of tables for the Redistricting file, SF1, SF3, and the Demographic Profiles in Excel or PDF format. All tables are available for Virginia counties and cities, and in some cases, for places and census tracts within Virginia. They are very useful for working in spreadsheets, however, no FIPS or other geographic codes are provided.
Retrieving Datasets for Analysis
American FactFinder may satisfy many needs, but for more complicated or larger data sets, it may be necessary to use different access tools:
Census 2000 DVDs are produced by the U.S. Census Bureau and contain data from Summary Files 1 through 4 at the State and National levels, and the 1% and 5% Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS). The DVDs are available at the Geostat desk in Alderman library.
Census CD+ Maps, produced by Geolytics, Inc. contain special software that allows easy retrieval of census information for conversion into database files, spreadsheets, or maps. The Neighborhood Change CD and some of the older CDs contain multi-decade data. They are non-circulating and need to be used in the Geostat lab where the machines have had the software installed. Currently, the following Census CD+Map products are available:
2000 Redistricting Block Data
2000 Short Form Data (down to the block group level)
2000 Short Form Block Data
2000 Long Form Data
Neighborhood Change CD (normalized data from 1970-2000)
ICPSR has archived much of the 2000 Census and in many cases, provides basic SPSS or SAS syntax statements for reading them. ICPSR downloads are only available to member institutions.
IPUMS USA provides access to microdata from the Decennial Census and other demographic survey instruments such as the Current Population Survey. Most frequently used to extract data from the 1% and 5% PUMS samples generated in 1990 and 2000, IPUMS provides microdata samples back to 1850. The site provides very complete documentation and a user guide in how to create extracts.
For some analysis, the only way to construct the data set you need is to work with the original files as released by the Census Bureau. These data files are available in ASCII format, together with documentation files, on the Census Bureau's index of datasets. These files are very large and complex. They are organized by product, and then by state. Each folder (for example, Virginia SF3 data) contains multiple files which must be downloaded, unzipped, and read into database software such as SPSS or Access. The geographic file must be merged with each of the data files to create a data set that can be manipulated to select records by a given geographic type.
Select files are available from Geostat. Many redistricting files have been extracted for areas in Virginia (see Virginia Redistricting Data Sets). The SF3 files for Virginia have also been extracted and merged, but variable labels have not been added because of the number of tables involved (813). UVa researchers who need to use the downloaded Virginia data or assistance with accessing complete file data should contact geostat@virginia.edu and outline his or her needs. Geostat's ability to support non-UVa researchers is limited.
Redistricting TIGER Files
TIGER is the US Census Bureau's geographic database, and is the basis for their mapping products. The public can access these files for use with GIS to produce their own maps and analyses.
Redistricting Shapefiles for use in ArcView

In the United States charitable organizations make significant contributions to society. According to the National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS), more than 1.5 million nonprofit organizations are registered in the U.S. This number includes public charities, private foundations, and other types of nonprofit organizations, including chambers of commerce, fraternal organizations, and civic leagues. These organizations operate on charitable contributions which are tax-exempt and are supervised by a board of directors. Serving as a board member for any of those organizations is a rewarding experience which entails many obligations stemming from the owed fiduciary duty to the nonprofit organizations to manage and preserve the organization's charitable assets that serve the organization's mission.


Thanks to reader Tony for a fine reason, courtesy of Sarah Lundy in the Orlando Sentinel, to hope Tripp Isenhour never breaks 75 ever again.
And people wonder why golf has a lousy reputation with environmentalists.
(RESTON, Virginia) - Professional golfer Tripp Isenhour has issued a sincere apology for a December 2007 incident in Orlando during which he hit a golf ball into a tree accidentally killing a red-shouldered hawk during the taping of a golf instructional video.
"As soon as this happened, I was mortified and extremely upset and continue to be upset. I want to let everyone know there was neither any malice nor deliberate intent whatsoever to hit or harm the hawk. I was trying to simply scare it into flying away. As evidenced by our family having adopted three cats from a local shelter, I am an animal lover. We ask that everyone accept my sincerest apology, and please be respectful of my family's privacy," says Isenhour.

Sociopaths are hiding in plain sight — so we asked one how he does it

On the outside, sociopaths are often bold and exciting.
Niki K
Experts estimate that somewhere between 1 and 4% of people fit the criteria of a sociopath, which means you may have come across one — or you may be one yourself.
Certain traits, like rarely feeling guilt or shame, constant lying and unreliability, and having a hard time with the concept of love are all things psychologists look for when trying to diagnose sociopathy. Still, it's an inexact science. People with so-called sociopathic traits can also appear charming because they may be confident, bold, and the life of the party.
Even the exact definition of sociopathy is contended, making it harder to estimate the amount of people actually living with the disorder. So what makes a sociopath?
"Confessions of a Sociopath: A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight" brought the idea of what's known as a "successful sociopath" into the mainstream. It's a memoir of someone who was allegedly diagnosed as a sociopath, and describes how she works her way through life, using some of these sociopathic traits to her advantage by scheming and manipulating.
According to the author, M. E. Thomas (a pseudonym) it's in a sociopath's best interest to appear "normal." Thomas says this helped her to succeed in life without causing any suspicion and manipulate people behind the scenes when she could.
There's a fair amount of speculation over whether Thomas was telling the whole truth, and some believe the book is merely a clever work of fiction. Either way, how exactly do sociopaths get by around us without raising anyone's suspicion? We spoke to one to find out how he does it.
Keep in mind that one individual experience cannot represent an entire population, but instead merely provides some interesting insight into how one person diagnosed with the disorder goes about his daily life. Also be aware that like any disorder, sociopathy occurs on a spectrum, and there's no one right answer to any question.
Another thing to remember is that one of the traits of sociopaths is an inflated sense of their own superiority, and the tendency to exaggerate, so bear that in mind.
I started my search for a sociopath on internet forums, figuring it was the best place to look for someone who was detached from society but also willing to talk. After sending some requests, and a couple of taunts and jokes made at my expense on the boards, people started privately reaching out to me.
Eventually, I met David (not his real name). He's between the ages of 25 and 35 and once worked in investment banking, but now is in a high-up position at a tech company that he co-founded.
For the sake of anonymity he asked me not to give away too much of his personal or work information, and not to mention the community I found him on. In return he would honestly and transparently answer any questions I had.
For starters, said David, there is no hard-and-fast sociopath diagnosis. The closest you can get to one is antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) which is often referred to as sociopathy. David was diagnosed with ASPD as a child and saw a therapist.
Antisocial personality disorder is one of the most difficult personality disorders to treat, and unless it's court-ordered, it's a choice whether people go for treatment or not. In fact, there is no known effective treatment for this disorder.
David said he knew he was different from a young age, but it wasn't until he was a bit older that the difference became more pronounced, mostly with his "willingness to use violence as a tool of persuasion."
"I did have a few run-ins with authority figures and institutions, like most children," David said. "They thought that these run-ins were extreme enough that a psychological evaluation was in order."
Leading up to his diagnosis, David said he was doing well at school, but he was easily bored and recalled starting to associate with what he called "wrong people."
"Violence and abuse to me was a way to deal with the boredom of school," he said. "In some ways it's animalistic, if you've ever hunted you'll understand what I'm talking about.
"The look of pure animalistic fear bordering panic is something to behold. It's a primal sort of feeling."
Are sociopaths really the puppet-masters?
To David, the diagnosis is just an invisible label, and no one — except for his parents — has ever known about it. Traits like impulsivity, aggressiveness, recklessness and the inability to conform to social norms are all traits which aren't ideal for someone who is trying to navigate in a modern workplace, so he keeps his diagnosis to himself.
"The traits of sociopathy almost all work against someone trying to do well in our society, which is why most end up in jail," he said. "However, if used in the right way and kept in check, these are also traits which make a great leader."
For example, David said his personality has been advantageous in getting him where he wants to be in his career.
"My boldness, ruthlessness and strength of will have defined who I am," he said. "People are too scared of authority, too content with taking the beaten path, but most of all, they are enablers of weakness.
"They are the ones responsible for the disease of mediocrity spreading within an organization. The road less traveled is littered with the careers of the weak, but I won't apologize for not tolerating their weakness."
At the same time, David understands that some of his personality would be off-putting if he laid it all out bare. In reality, many of the real traits of his ASPD are hidden to the people around him, like his recklessness or lack of remorse.
Some film depictions of sociopathy are cartoonish, and not necessarily true.
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment / YouTube
"Displaying a lower level of empathy is to almost everyone extremely off-putting," he said. "Learning to care more about people and understanding other their perspective, is something that I work on constantly."
When it comes to manipulating people, David doesn't see it as so black and white. Indeed, where does the line between persuasion and manipulation blur?
"People are dumb, and often times don't know what is best for them or the organization," he said. If I then take the liberty to use any means necessary to make them see the situation my way, is that really wrong?"
He didn't elaborate on what "any means necessary" meant, but he did say the whip and carrot are both "excellent tools" and "anything that will get them from A to B, so long as it is legal, is necessary."
David understands that the traits related to sociopathy don't make for stable, long-term relationships, and the way he gets around this is by compartmentalizing relationships as well as performing differently in front of different groups of people.
"You can be one person when that fits the situation and another when that's more appropriate," he said. "Partners tend to bore me, [because] I'm someone who enjoys extremes.
"Most people on the other hand tend to be mundane and they enjoy everyday life. I want and crave action and I detest mediocrity."
In other words, the idea of a "normal" family life to David sounds "dreadfully boring." While David puts aside his tendencies in the work place, he has no real reason to pretend to be something he's not in personal relationships. Romantic relationships simply don't interest him in the same way that they're the goal for so many other people.
Sociopaths aren't necessarily loners
Before I spoke to David, I talked to the creator of one of the forums I was on. She set it up so that people with sociopathic diagnoses could talk and get to know each other without limits, and with that came some disturbing content being discussed on the boards.
Ultimately though, she said it was a place where isolated people could make friends without ridicule or judgment, and many of the people had been going there for years. It's easy to judge from the outside looking in, but when I spent a bit of time there, there was a sense of a community.
The founder also said to me that she believed both that everyone is a sociopath and nobody is. I posed this question to David.
"From a certain point of view, sure," he said. "It's a question of to what extent people exhibit these traits and to what degree these hinder them from fitting into society.
"The cartoonish popular idea of a sociopath is that taken to the extreme. No one acts like that. Everyone is different in one way or another."
In the end, he said, sociopathy is simply a label to define a set of traits that are more prevalent in one group of people.

How Mehul Choksi may have secured an Antiguan passport, explained
Choksi is accused of defrauding Punjab National Bank along with his nephew, diamond tycoon Nirav Modi.
Fugitive diamantaire has now moved to Antigua from the US: reports
Aastha Agnihotri
Mehul Choksi, one of the main suspects in a $2-billion fraud at state-run Punjab National Bank, has been granted an Antiguan passport just days after he cited fears for his life because of a growing number of mob lynchings in India.
Choksi, who is accused of defrauding Punjab National Bank along with his nephew, diamond tycoon Nirav Modi, fled India before the accusations came to light.
He filed a court application on Monday for cancellation of an arrest warrant against him and said he could not disclose his location in public because of the threat to his life.
According to media reports, the fugitive diamantaire has now moved to Antigua from the US and taken the passport of the Caribbean country.
But why the lone island of Antigua of all the places?
A lot has to do with the Caribbean citizenship by investment (CBI) program that have gone on sale due to the devastating effects of the 2017 hurricane.
A CBI program allows you to quickly and legally acquire a second passport by making a donation or investment in that country. In short, you purchase a passport.
Antigua's passport investment program is currently one of the cheapest and fastest citizenship-by-investment programs in the Caribbean.
Most importantly, citizens are not taxed on local or worldwide income and one does not have to travel to Antigua during the application process.
And then there are the famous Antiguan beaches.
So who qualifies for an Antiguan citizenship?
One of the main criteria to qualify for citizenship is that the applicant must have a high personal net worth, according to the global financial advisory company Arton Capital, which publishes the Passport Index.
A Nielsen study claims that high net-worth individuals (HNIs) represent less than 1 percent of the world's total population, but together account for more than 40 percent of the world's total wealth.
To get Antiguan citizenship:
HNIs may choose to make a monetary contribution of $100,000 to the National Development Fund or an approved charity to get the passport.
Alternatively, they can also purchase property valued at a minimum of $400,000 in a pre-approved real estate development area.
Applicants may also invest $1.5 million to establish a business.

FDA Grants IND Approval to Stemedica for a Traumatic Brain Injury Phase IIa Clinical Trial
Clinical trial to study the effects of Stemedica's proprietary mesenchymal stem cells in patients with traumatic brain injury.
SAN DIEGO, California; May 18, 2016 — Stemedica Cell Technologies, Inc. (Stemedica) received an FDA investigational new drug (IND) approval for a United States-based, Phase IIa clinical study using its ischemic tolerant, adult allogeneic mesenchymal stem-cells (itMSC) to treat subjects with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The study is sponsored by Stemedica with ProMedica Health Care Systems of Toledo, Ohio serving as both the trial site and a co-financial supporter of the trial. The clinical trial is titled "A Phase IIa, Open-Label Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Preliminary Efficacy of a Single Intravenous Dose of Allogeneic Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Subjects with Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury."
"Stemedica has achieved another milestone by expanding its clinical program in the United States to six major medical indications under IND approval including ischemic stroke, acute myocardial infarction, chronic heart failure, photoaging skin, Alzheimer's disease and now traumatic brain injury," said Lev Verkh, Ph.D., Stemedica's Chief Regulatory & Clinical Development Officer. "We are investigating several medical indications we believe are best suited for our ischemic tolerant mesenchymal stem cells while collecting important safety and preliminary efficacy data on the effects of our stem cells. Our goal is to provide medical options to patients with our product."
Stemedica's bone marrow-derived, allogeneic itMSCs are unique because they are grown under hypoxic conditions that more closely resemble the environment in which they live in the body. Compared to other MSCs, itMSCs secrete higher levels of growth factors usually associated with angiogenesis and healing. Stemedica's itMSCs are manufactured at its government licensed, cGMP (current good manufacturing practices) facility in San Diego, California.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), causes of TBI include falls, motor vehicle crashes, colliding with a person or object and assault. Symptoms of TBI include balance problems; double or blurry vision; sensitivity to light or noise; concentration or memory problems; and mood changes such as irritability, sadness, nervousness and anxiety. In 2010, 2.5 million emergency room visits, hospitalizations or deaths were related to TBI alone, total costs of which exceed $82 billion annually, including medical and work loss costs.
"Stemedica is pleased to be advancing this clinical trial in the investigation of traumatic brain injury," says Nikolai Tankovich, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Medical Officer of Stemedica. "As the number one cause of death and long-term disability in young people, the prolonged problems it is creating for our military veterans and the pronounced impact it is having on our sports heroes is substantial. Any role our stem cell product can play in aiding those suffering from TBI is worth researching. Along with our partner ProMedica, we are committed to determining the potential role stem cells can play in the treatment of traumatic brain injury."
The Phase IIa clinical trial will enroll approximately twenty-four (24) patients as part of its study population. Contact research@ProMedica.org for TBI clinical trial information.
About Stemedica Cell Technologies, Inc.

In its prominent corner location, the new taz building must mediate between the traditional Berlin block and the solitary buildings from the period of the IBA.
The architectural design of the new house for the taz recalls the Moscow "Shabolovka" radio tower by Vladimir G. Shukhov from the early 1920s. Its structural system, conceived as a network, attempts to reach the greatest possible load capacity with the fewest possible elements. The net is a structure in which all the parts must perform equally and only together can they achieve stability. It is a system with no hierarchy.


The Doc McStuffins Mini Clinic Playset is a fantastic new mini doctor's case that includes a thermometer, a syringe and 2 casts for little Lambie! This special doctor's playset also comes with exclusive Doc and Lambie characters and a book of boo boos.
It's not available to buy in the UK yet but watch this space as it won't be long until it is.
The Doc McStuffins Mini Clinic Playset is brought to us by Flair who has a wonderful range of Doc McStuffins toys for all the little Doc fans out there. My little man and Lily love the Doc, she's a real hit in our house. It's the new way to play doctors and nurses apparently.
It's a very cute set which my two loved playing with. I thought it might be a bit basic for them but I was soon proved wrong. They seem to like basic as it then leaves more room for their own imagination. The characters are cute and the set is nice and compact. All the pieces except for Lambie and Doc can fit neatly away inside the case at the end of play which is great for keeping all the pieces safe ready for next time. Ryan loved the casts and is now forever on a mission to make Lambie better which is very cute to watch. We scored the playset a cute 3/5 from all of us here at Mummy Of 3 Diaries. It's just perfect for Doc fans.
Disclosure: We were sent our Doc McStuffins Mini Clinic Playset for free for the purpose of this review but all the opinions expressed are 100% my own and always honest.

We have two internship opportunities available and would love your help! Please keep reading and see if one of these sounds like you.
➢The Community Worker role... requires an entrepreneurial and dynamic individual who feels comfortable working cross-culturally. While not needing to be a Bible college graduate, the ability to lead a Bible study and shepherd community members is important. Combining this with the ability to 'roll up their sleeves' and help people draft a CV, fill out housing forms, even educate them about culture will be part of the role. It is life on life and our community is desperate to learn about Jesus and make a new start!
➢ The Researcher role… requires someone that has an understanding of gathering data methodically/professionally and interpreting findings into information that can be used for funding. As The House Glasgow CIC is a social enterprise, we are trying to secure funding that will help us with our launch stage which will involve creation of resources (e.g. business plans, financial forecasts, etc.), translation of these materials into Farsi & English (and potentially other languages), and developing and delivering workshops to our community so they can find employment and/or start a business.
For more information please download the full opportunity profile.

Post Budget Press Release - The Cornish Housing Market for 2017 and Crystal Ball Gazing in to 2018.
Chancellor Philip Hammond announced in the budget on 22nd November that stamp duty would be abolished immediately for first-time buyers buying a home up to £300,000. For properties costing up to £500,000, no stamp duty will be payable on the first £300,000.
In the opinion of H Tiddy, this will help stimulate the housing market, but not necessarily in the way the chancellor is expecting. H Tiddy believe that the stamp duty change will be welcomed by first time buyers and will help stimulate further growth in the housing market. However, the greater hurdles for first time buyers are saving for a deposit as well as finding their first home at a price that meets current lending criteria and income multiples offered by the mortgage lenders. For many years now, it has been the Buy to Let investment buyer that has kick started the 'chain process'. This has boosted average house prices in many areas of the UK over and above affordable levels for first time buyer. A Buy to Let mortgage is where an investor borrows money to purchase a property in order to let it out to tenants. Lenders calculate how much they are willing to lend using a different formula by looking at expected monthly rental income (compared to the specific income of the individual) of the property being purchased to determine the maximum loan available.
The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) immediately reported after the budget announcement on Stamp Duty that the main beneficiaries would be existing homeowners and it expects UK house prices to rise by 0.3% within a year as a result of the change. The Halifax reported: "for all first-time buyers, the deposit is a bigger up-front cost than Stamp Duty. The average deposit across the UK is £32,899 compared to the average Stamp Duty charge of £1,654".
The Bank of England base rate increased to 0.5% on 2nd November. The Governor, Mark Carney, suggested two further rises each of 0.25% will follow in the next three years. H Tiddy think that the rise in base rate to 1% in total is unlikely to have any major impact.
The Royal Institiute of Charterted Surveyors (RICS) has been consistently reporting worries over estate agents' low stock levels. "Following a couple of months in which new instructions had held broadly stable, the latest results point to a renewed deterioration in the flow of fresh listings coming to market (the net balance being -14%)".
With the costs of Stamp Duty, (particularly with the extra 3% for second home or investment buyers), economic uncertainty, rising inflation, Brexit negotiations and faltering GDP National Growth are valid reasons enough as to why some potential sellers and buyers remain cautious. However, one of the main reasons why H Tiddy remain successful is by understanding these worries due to their number of years experience in coping with the bad times and as well as the good. They have been established for over 100 years. They informed us that they believe that the current housing market is neither a sellers or buyers market, in other words, a stable market. However, they report that it is price sensitive. Their advice to anyone thinking of selling is a good estate agent will help you set the right price, market your home professionally, and expertly negotiate and monitor your sale via solicitors to a successful exchange of contracts. Setting the right price is a key factor. A professional agent will have a strong number of comparable properties that they have sold. They will have knowledge of the local area and understand the needs and wants of their buyers. H Tiddy advise not to get caught in the trap of choosing an agent who over values and offers you excessively low fees to secure your business. One of the biggest gripes customers have about Estate Agents are the "over promises" made usually at the initial meeting, market appraisal and valuation stage. An agent who has the largest market share and who has a strong track record of selling properties in a price bracket similar to your home is the agent for you.
Believe it or not, but, over the last two years, H Tiddy have sale agreed as many properties during the winter as they have done in July and August. If you want to take advantage of their busy winter and spring market, contact Mark, Natalie, Gail or Jack NOW on 01326 270212 to discuss possible sales, updated valuations, arrange a market appraisal, or any other aspect of the housing market.


Super Exploding Zoo is a weird puzzle game that puts you in command of a menagerie animals fending off an alien invasion. Most puzzle games like this might have you manipulate units to form a Rube Goldberg-esque contraption to kill the invaders before they reach the zoo's precious eggs. Instead, these animals commit themselves to senseless suicide, their bodies exploding with great force when they come in contact with the black, bulbous creatures. The idea of saving eggs by killing your army sounds hilariously senseless and should be great fun. Unfortunately, Super Exploding Zoo is about as fun as watching paint dry.
There is little setup needed to stir the player into action. The game drops the player in the thick of things, a short and sweet tutorial identifying the abilities of each available animal type. Not all animals are created equal in this zoo and each has a unique skill that aids in fending off alien attacks. Penguins can destroy red walls, alligators can form bridges across rivers, monkeys can trigger TNT plungers to blow up purple walls, and lions can roar at the aliens and slow their movement. The idea is to use each animal's ability to navigate obstacles and build a massive army of exploding zoo denizens before the aliens can reach the nest. The monsters take six hits to kill and can be taken out by simply kamikaze-ing your units into their large bodies. Although the zoo denizens take on the role of suicide bombers, there is incentive to ending a level with a few of them alive. Any left over units are used to bust open eggs that offer new unit types. However, many of these units are nothing more than re-skins. Turtles behave the same way as alligators and the Dodo bird blows up exactly like the penguins.
Blowing up animals that look pulled from a Pendleton Ward cartoon should be fun, but Super Exploding Zoo lacks excitement and thrill. The tension built from the race against time feels artificial and not that big of a motivator to succeed. Part of the reason is because later levels get so huge and complex that there's an expectation that you'll be unable to complete the stage on the first try. Trial and error puzzle solving creates a repetition that fails to entertain and makes the game's 80 levels all the more daunting. The length of the game is a double edged sword. It's great that there is a lot of content, but after growing completely bored with it all after level 22, the last thing I wanted was to play the remaining 58 stages. New animals and skills are introduced in each new zone but they're not to keep me glued to the screen. And the soft, soulless soundtrack doesn't do much to help the matter.
Technical issues were also negative contributors. The controls do not feel as responsive as they should be when trying to activate a creature's special skill. Even though there's only one button to press, the game has a hard time reacting to the player's input. An example of this problem is the act of commanding a lion to sit on a platform. Even with my group of lions standing directly on top of the platform, pressing X wouldn't command the lion to hop on and start roaring at the aliens to slow them down. The event seemed to trigger after the second or third press and by then, the damage was done and I reset the level to start over. In a game where speed is of the essence, such control issues are kind of unacceptable. Lions weren't the only animals to cause problems - monkeys, and their skill in activating TNT plungers, gave me the same kind of grief. Inconsistent load times were also a concern. Some level transitions are quick while others took almost a minute to move on. And why does Super Exploding Zoo keep checking for any cross saves? It couldn't find one when I started the game, why would it ask me an hour later?
If there's one area where the game earns praise, it's the visuals. Everything, from the look of the environments to the design of the zoo animals and aliens are charmingly goofy and off kilter. The characters convey a lot of personality, even when they're asleep, and the aliens, despite their simplistic designs, are wonderfully menacing.
Super Exploding Zoo would have been a good way to kill an hour or two if it were fun. Instead, it's trying, boring and a chore to play. There's a noticeable lack of energy and spirit, and without it, there's little to no drive to push forward. At the end of the day, it's a very middle of the road puzzle. It's not bad, but not good either.
Psychonauts Rhombus of Ruin has its feet firmly planted in foundation laid by the first game - as it should. Though it is trapped within a medium that is still trying to find steady feet, Rhombus at least has the heart and spirit of what made Psychonauts so enthralling.
Salary Man Escape for the PSVR offers an interesting take on Jenga puzzles and the soul-sucking nightmare that is the "rat race." It also has a level of quirk some folks will recognize and appreciate.
If you're looking for some good, solid puzzle fun on the PlayStation VR, Squishies has a lot to offer. And the map editor is nearly worth the price of admission alone for its content creation and 3D art potential.
Resogun is great for spontaneous, quick play. Anything longer than that starts to give me a headache. Outside of my own physical shortcomings, I don't see the game having a lot of staying power because, honestly, there isn't much to this re-imagining of a 33 year old arcade game. It does have some longevity, with numerous ships to unlock (each with their own stats), higher difficulty modes and the thrill of taking on the leaderboards. Scores from players around the world are displayed for each level so if you're feeling the competitive spirit there are plenty of people to duke it out with. I'm not the kind of score hound the game appeals to, making Resogun a game I would come back to during game installs or show off the console to a friend. If you're a PlayStation Plus subscriber, the price can't be beat so be sure to redeem the 30 day voucher that came with the console.
There's simply no joy, no fun to be had here at all. In preparation for this review, I went back to Rocketbirds on the Vita to see if it played the exact same way, that perhaps I simply repressed the memories of playing through a simiarly frustrating game. Instead, I rediscovered a game I enjoyed so much because it had heart and humor, competent gameplay and interesting puzzle elements.

Q: Octave urlread post I am trying to upload some data to a server by using a post request in octave. In the url I added the api-key, which should work. The question is how to include my postdata (which is a json object) and some headers. The docs on this function is limited but I try something like this:
param = {'headers','Accept: *','body',postData};
[response result] = urlread(url,'post',param);

Thusfar it gives a negative response. Is this how you should do this in Octave?

A: You currently can't set custom headers (such as Accept) using urlread or urlwrite in Octave.
