Remote monitoring brings cardiac care to the patient
Coronation resident Chris Goodbrand shows the remote monitoring device he uses that transmits information to his cardiac care team in Calgary.
Dr. Derek Exner, Calgary Heart Rhythm Specialist
Program earns Patient Experience Award from Health Quality Council of Alberta
Story by Greg Harris
If Chris Goodbrand wakes up in the middle of the night worried he might be having ticker trouble, he has a straightforward process to find out for sure.
The 48-year-old resident of Coronation, about 300 km northeast of Calgary, calls in to the Cardiac Implantable Electrical Device (CIED) Clinic at Foothills Medical Centre, lets his remote monitoring device transmit data to the team there, and they tell him right away if there's an issue or not.
"It's the best unit ever," he says of his implanted pacemaker/defibrillator, and its accompanying monitoring unit. "I'm three-and-a-half hours away from Foothills, so if I feel like my heart is racing, or the defibrillator has given me a jolt, they can just check the data and say, 'Yeah, actually you're doing fine.'"
The team can remotely assess his device, recommend changes to his medications and, most importantly, determine if emergency medical attention is warranted.
Goodbrand is one of thousands of Albertans with remotely monitored CIEDs who have access to 24-hour support and care — regardless of where they live.
This provincewide innovation is now a standard of care that grew out of the PERFORM (Performance Evaluation and Rhythm Follow Up Optimization through Remote Monitoring) program. On June 3, the Health Quality Council of Alberta (HQCA) recognized PERFORM with a Patient Experience Award.
"It's great that the program has received this recognition," says Dr. Derek Exner, Calgary Heart Rhythm Specialist and the principal lead for PERFORM. "It's really all about the patients. This treatment approach brings the care to the patient, instead of requiring that they come to us."
By being able to monitor patients remotely, care teams can handle both unscheduled concerns and routine checkups, monitor implanted devices' batteries and other functions.
About half of patients with a CIED don't have remote monitoring in their home, but can access facilities in or near their own communities that do have that capability.
Remote monitoring gives patients peace of mind, knowing that expert support is just a phone call away or close to home. It saves them the time and expense it takes to travel to appointments, which in some cases can be significant.
"In this age of COVID-19, it's also a huge advantage that patients don't necessarily have to come in for a face-to-face visit. We can provide the same level of care remotely, minimizing risk and inconvenience," Exner says.
The PERFORM project started in 2014 with a grant from PRIHS (Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Health System), which is overseen by Alberta Innovates and Alberta Health Services (AHS).
Although the HQCA award is mainly for standardizing care and providing remote monitoring of CIEDs across the province, PERFORM also focuses on establishing databases to collect information from cardiac devices, and using remote monitoring to improve care after a stroke.
"Sometimes in healthcare we throw around the term 'collaborative,' but this project has truly been a team effort with government, clinicians and administrative leaders, as well as patients, making huge contributions," Exner adds.
In particular, Exner cites the support of Caroline Hatcher, Mishaela Houle — and the leadership of the Cardiovascular Health and Stroke Strategic Clinical Network — as critical to the success of the project.
Since then Lucy O. Reyes, PERFORM Project Coordinator, and Dr. Satish Raj, the medical lead for the remote monitoring project, have helped turn it into a model for the rest of the country.
"Alberta is ahead of the pack and is seen as a leader in this area," says Exner. "The level of care we're able to provide is second to none."
For Goodbrand, that means he can carry on with his busy life as pharmacist, farmer, husband and father of five without having to take lengthy road trips to Calgary. "For me here in rural Alberta, this is the best. The care I receive from my heart rhythm specialist, Dr. Glen Sumner and the team at Foothills is just terrific."
HQCA's Patient Experience Awards were established by the HQCA and its Patient and Family Advisory Committee to recognize and spread knowledge about initiatives that improve the patient's overall experience in accessing and receiving healthcare services.

Bob Simmons, stellar KING-TV pundit, RIP: A life to appreciate
By Joel Connelly, SeattlePI Tuesday, June 18, 2019
Photo: Phil H. Webber, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
The best of Seattle broadcast journalism: Bob Simmons and Don McGaffin, who worked together at KING-TV, remained longtime friends.
New-on-the-scene KING-TV reporter Bob Simmons was at close quarters in the old growth Classic U forest on Whidbey Island, positioning himself between loggers going to work and a sit-in protest that aimed to spare the forest.
Simmons had recently arrived from Los Angeles, where he had won his stripes with a live, lucid two-hour broadcast of the police siege at the Symbionese Liberation Army's hideout.
The 1977 Classic U sit-in was a watershed event. It saved a forest, and forced environmental evaluations of timber cuts on the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR), which was then nicknamed the Department of Nothing Remaining.
Simmons, 88, died Saturday at home in Bellingham, on the 62nd anniversary of marriage to beloved wife Dee.
Simmons was one of the cerebral but fearless pundits who defined KING-TV in the last years of ownership by its founding family, the Bullitts. In oral history, he belongs alongside Don McGaffin, Charley Royer and Bob Royer.

The process of routinely servicing (or adjusting) both front and rear braking systems PLUS an inspection of your entire braking system. The calipers (disk application) and wheel cylinders (drum application) are the mechanical components that contain the hydraulic system that compresses the pads/shoes to the rotor/drum that causes your vehicle to stop. It is the free movement of these components that needs to be maintained (more frequently than pad/shoe replacement) by removal, cleaning, lubrication and adjustment.
This service is necessary in order to ensure that your braking system is operating sufficiently to stop your vehicle and that the hydraulic components are applying an even distribution of pressure on the friction components to prevent premature wearing.
There are 2 main services that are required to ensure your braking system is operating at optimum.
The typical wearable components of your braking system are the friction items (pads for disk brakes, shoes for drum brakes) and rotors/drums, which will require replacement from time to time, the frequency of which is dependant on your driving habits and the quality of these parts. To elaborate on part quality, please be aware that the various degrees of quality for replacement pads/shoes/rotors/drums available in the marketplace is dramatic, ranging from inexpensive offshore "white box" product to "first line" products manufactured by reputable suppliers within quality-controlled environments. This latter category is strongly recommended by Master Mechanic; the improved safety, longevity, and warranties associated with quality parts far outweigh the incremental cost.
The calipers (disk application) and wheel cylinders (drum application) are the mechanical components that contain, in part, the hydraulic system that compresses the pads/shoes to the rotor/drum that causes your vehicle to stop. These systems require regular maintenance (more frequently than pad/shoe replacement) in the form of removal, lubrication, adjustment and cleaning in order to ensure that your braking system is operating sufficiently to stop your vehicle and that the friction material wears evenly to prevent premature wearing. We recommend that this service be performed every 20,000 kilometres.

Alaska's 10 Best Contemporary Art Galleries and Museums
Alaska is an incredibly vast region and yet it is still sparsely populated. However, over the years artists have come to Alaska, inspired by its mesmerising landscape. Art has played an important role in this unique state, helping to define the community by giving the area a reference point, a sense of place and meaning within the wilderness. Here are 10 galleries that provide an essential platform for contemporary artists in Alaska.
Alaska Native Arts Gallery
Alaska Native Arts Foundation is a non-profit organisation that strives to support artists within their community. The gallery, run by Trina Landlord, therefore plays an important role in promoting Alaskan Native artworks that are incredibly unique. For centuries, Alaskan indigenous people have been sustained by the land, yet they have also channelled their creativity by using the gifts of the land to depict the world around them. Their hugely resourceful approach to life is demonstrated in their art: carvings formed by using ivory walrus tusks, sculptures made from whale bones and basket sown by beachgrass. Alaska Native Arts Gallery provides a real insight into a significant community, and highlights how subsistence is still a vital concept that is pervasive throughout their lives. The gallery is a modern retail space, displaying traditional and contemporary art by Native artists gathered from all over Alaska.

Arctic Rose Gallery & Art Center
This is a collaborative project curated by artists Jana Latham, Jon and Jona Van Zyle as well as 10 other creative members in downtown Anchorage. At the heart of the retail gallery's enterprise is to instil a passion for art in Anchorage. Jon Van Zyle is a prominent painter in this state, distilling the essence of Alaskan landscape and its wildfire in his indelible watercolour paintings. He has also been inducted into the Iditarod Hall of Fame, having been the official painter of The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race since 1979. Jona, meanwhile, is a versatile artist most well-known for her Alaskan pictures made outs of beads. Arctic Rose Gallery & Art Center exhibits a diverse range of art including an unique Russian collection of matrushkas and lacquer boxes. Latham and her team ensure the gallery is bustling with events, organised throughout the year. The gallery also participates in Anchorage's 'First Friday Art', which brings the art community and local residents together.

This creative hub is a real gem in the midst of the stunning Kachemak bay and Kenai mountains. It is a non-profit multidisciplinary arts organisation, situated in the historic Inlet Trading Post building. It is truly embedded in the community, playing a pivotal role in the revitalising of the Old Town in Homer. Bunnell Street Arts Centerpromotes both visual and performing arts, coordinating lectures, plays, exhibitions, workshops and Artists in Schools. Yet at the core of the arts organisation is the Artist in Residence programme, held three to five times a year. It allows Alaskan and international artists to live on-site for up to a month, while laying on educational outreach activities for the community. Current beneficiary of Bunnell's inclusive philosophy is Jarod Charzewski, an art teacher at College of Charleston, whose popular installation Buoys and Barrels has become a central feature of the exterior of the gallery. Moreover, there is currently a solo exhibition by Kodiak artist Antoinette Walker who explores the coastal marine theme via the encaustic medium: one of the oldest painting techniques that combines damar crystals, molten bees wax and pigment.

International Gallery of Contemporary Art
IGCA is a modern and innovative gallery exhibiting experimental art that provides a crucial space in Alaska for discussions concerning contemporary art. It is brimming with creativity, engendering a communal ethos, as the trendy gallery houses numerous exhibitions spaces and artist studios. Importantly IGCA is a non-profit organisation, so therefore artists are actively encouraged to experiment and to push the boundaries without being hindered by any commercial pressures. This is exemplified in their monthly exhibitions, whereby artists demonstrably revel in this creative environment. The highlights this month include Lisa Ballard's The Places, a collection of surreal figurative paintings, and Gideon Gerit's installation called Liminal Helix that combines recursive mirrors and a video loop.

University of Alaska Museum of the North
Art Gallery, Museum
The mere exterior of the museum is eye-catching because of its distinctive award-winning architecture. Inspired by the Pritzker Prize–winning architect Frank Gehry, the building evokes the shape of Alaska's rugged rural scenery. However once you enter the museum, you will be confronted by an abundance of historical objects and artworks, which all collectively depicts Alaska's history as being culturally rich and diverse. For the devotees of contemporary art, the Rose Berry Alaska Art Gallery on the top floor is place to go. Interestingly, the gallery juxtaposes the traditional with the contemporary, as it makes a concerted effort to highlight Alaska's different cultures as being all on the same footing aesthetically. Additionally, next to the gallery is a popular permanent exhibition The Place Where You Go To Listen by John Luther Adams. It is a clever and contemplative installation that continually translates the geography of Alaska – like the movements of the sun, the phases of the moon and general seismic activity – into music and coloured lighting. So this whole museum literally strives to the physical embodiment of Alaska.

Alaska House Art Gallery

This log house is an aesthetic sanctuary that promotes and conserves Alaskan art. This culturally significant gallery was established by Joe and Claire Fejes. The latter, although born in New York, became an renowned oil painter in Alaska. She was inspired by the beguiling surroundings and the Native people living in the area. After she died, it was decided by the family that the gallery should be reopened. The current owner is Claire's daughter Yolande, who actually grew up in the log house. Yolande felt compelled to uphold her mother's legacy, so therefore there is a considerable collection of art by Claire Fejes at the gallery. However, there is also a burning desire to provide a platform for contemporary artists. Alaska House Art Gallery represents painters, printmakers, sculptors and Native artists. A recent exhibition involved Bill Brody's captivating paintings of the Alaskan landscape. Alaska House Art Gallery, 1003 Cushman St (Corner of 10th & Cushman), Fairbanks, Alaska, USA, +1 907-456-6449

Alaska Robotics is simultaneously a comic bookshop and an art gallery. The store in Juneau demonstrates that comic books are a manifestation of artistic expression. For some mistakenly believe that graphic novels are solely confined to the genre of superhero fiction. Yet Alaska Robotics are keen to broaden the appeal of graphic novels by illustrating its richness as a form of visual art. The gallery itself is still in its infancy – just two years old – yet it certainly looks set to have a bright future. It features illustrations by Pat Race, the owner of Alaska Robotics, as well as other local and national artists. The team are perpetually in motion, creating illustrations, graphic novels, cards, shirts, short films as well as organising workshops.

Annie Kaill's
Annie Kaill's premier fine art and craft gallery has demonstrated its longevity in the capital city of Alaska, as it has been running for over 35 years now. Furthermore Annie Kaill's has managed to maintain its relevance, as conveyed by the fact that it received the award for 'Best Gallery in Alaska' from The American Art Awards this year. It is easy to see why, particularly as the gallery represents many reputable Alaskan artists. For example, the painters on their portfolio are the most prominent in the area, such as the expressionist Rie Muñoz, the prolific watercolor painter Bryon Birdsall and Gail Niebrugge, who specializes in pointillism. The gallery is also proud to display a rich array of artworks from The Milano Collection of glassware made by talented Romanian artisan to hand-crafted jewelry.

Pratt Museum

The award-winning Pratt Museum is primarily concerned with exploring the dynamic relationship between human beings and the environment. The museum invites visitors on a jaunt through the natural history of Kachemak Bay, conveying how the evolution of people and the area are very much intertwined. It also possess a respectable permanent collection of local artists, showcasing a range of artists inspired by the natural world around them such as Susie Silook's ivory artworks. An intriguing temporary exhibitions ongoing at the moment is an exhibition titled Reliquary by mixed media artist Jo Going. The name of the exhibition is a reference to her experience of visiting Roman Catholic churches in Italy, seeing how they revere the bones of a saint within a reliquary. The installation, influenced by Neolithic and Palaeolithic art, consists of animals bones. She seeks to examine whether their spirit lives on after death. It has taken 30 years for the exhibition to come to fruition, as she painstakingly collected bones of Arctic Wild animals mainly on the tundra in Alaska.

Anchorage Museum views Alaska through the spectrum of art, history and science. It is one of the most popular tourists attractions in the whole state. The museum seeks to survey the history of Alaska, as symbolised by its current exhibition Re/Marks that chronicles the evolution of contemporary Alaskan Native art from the 1970s to today. Yet this is only the tip of the iceberg as there are many exciting events to look forward to. For example, there is the exhibition in October Brick by Brick created by Nathan Sawaya and Mike Stimpson that highlight the potential of Lego bricks as a learning tool with 'artistic, scientific, technological, engineering and mathematical applications'. Yet the crucial event at the Anchorage Museum of History and Art this year is the biennial exhibition known as the All Alaska Juried. It has been a permanent fixture in the calendar for over 30 years, with the museum emboldened by its mission to provide an overview of the best of contemporary art in Alaska. The competition also endeavours to discover a new and up-coming Alaskan artist to introduce to the art scene. This year, the judges are two curators: Bonnie Laing-Malcolmson at Portland Art Museum and Harold Schnitzer at Northwest Art. The exhibition begins in November and ends in February when it will embark on a tour round the state including The Bear Gallery in Fairbanks.

A reinforced soil construction represents a special form of retaining wall and was invented in the sixties of the past century by the French engineer Henri Vidal. Tensile loads are directed to a reinforcement inserted into the soil, and then conveniently distributed. This reinforcement is usually made of plastics in order to avoid corrosion problems. The new abutments and piers are placed between the former elements, so the length of the bridge is reduced to 285 m. Its width of 31 m exceeds the value of the old bridge by 2 m and offers three lanes in either direction. The construction is intended to be completed in the year of 2020.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation just unveiled a brand new project — an actual store. If you live in Cambridge in the U.K., you can now buy a bunch of sweet Raspberry Pis to tinker and develop some cool stuff.
The latest flagship model, the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ costs only $35. But if you want something smaller and cheaper, there are other models for various needs.
Moreover, the foundation can use this store as a showcase for some cool examples. You can also buy goodies, such as mugs and plushy toys. Those white-and-red keyboard and mouse look cool too.


I woke up this morning to the stunning news that Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi's forces had "cleansed" Libya from the "gangs" and al-Qaeda operatives, reaching as far east as Benghazi and even Tobruk near the Egyptian border. Being a child of June 1967 I was quickly reminded of the outlandish claims back then by Egypt, voiced by one Ahmed Said on Nasser's Voice of the Arabs radio, that it was routing Israeli forces in the air and on the ground and that the liberation of Palestine was at hand.
Of course Gaddafi would do no such thing. The offensive launched by his forces is obviously aimed at retaking the regime's vital lifeline near Gaddafi's stronghold of Tripoli: oil facilities. Hence the vicious assault on Zawiya which, if successful, would secure the Libyan colonel's western flank and help guarantee him a continuing supply of petro-dollars.
You see, no one has suggested yet that sanctions be imposed to deny him revenue from exporting Libyan oil so Gaddafi is actually still being paid!
The rebels fought back with everything they have because they know that this isn't just about oil. Gaddafi's forces will exact terrible retribution on those who dared to rise against the colonel.
Gaddafi needs the oil facilities near his last remaining bases, the triangle Tripoli, Sirt (Surt) and Sabha (see map below). Which is why he may try to assault Zawiya and Misrata again and again as long as his forces don't get mauled.
Also of interest is the news that some British SAS soldiers have been captured by the rebels. I found out around 23:00 GMT last night while watching Libyan TV, hours before the news was reported anywhere else.
You see, Gaddafi's regime still controls and monitors the phone network in the country and lo and behold there was last night a recording of a phone call between the British ambassador to Libya (now in London) and Mustafa Abdul Jalil, Gaddafi's former Minister of Justice who broke with the regime and is now probably the most prominent opposition figure in the country.
That was preceded by several phone calls between Mustafa Abdul Jalil and Ahmed bin Halim, a Gaddafi opponent and former Libyan prime minister.
Both the British ambassador and bin Halim asked Abdul Jalil to intervene to release a group of 4 (later reported as 8) British "diplomats" captured by the rebels. Abdul Jalil, who doesn't speak much English, handed the phone to someone (obviously senior) called Juma'a who told the ambassador that these British guys landed in Libya in a helicopter and were subsequently captured and were being interrogated. [They were found carrying guns, explosives, maps and passports from four countries!
A quick note about the modus operandi of special forces worldwide; they are usually helicoptered in and lie in wait, well hidden in the local environment, for days, weeks, sometimes months. They monitor movement, lines of transportation and any target they may be reconnoitering, in constant touch with home base. And when called upon they spring into action.
While Libyan TV broadcast these intercepted phone calls to show Gaddafi's opponents in a negative light, to their credit the rebels considered this act by the British a violation of Libya's sovereignty and promptly locked them up. I mean if you're coming on a friendly visit you call ahead and say you're coming, you don't just show up announced. On a helicopter bearing guns not gifts!
The opposition is naive if it thinks it can use Gaddafi's phone networks to discuss travel plans, weapons requirements and other sensitive matters and not have the Brother Leader display fraternal concern and eavesdrop on the conversation. The opposition needs an Opposition 101 crash-course. Pronto.


In my first message to you as your President this time last year, I said that one of my priorities for 2018 was that our annual meeting would be our best yet. And based on what I saw at Pharmacology 2018 last month, and from the feedback I received both during and since, I can confidently say that we delivered. Thank you to all those who attended, presented, and helped to organise such a professional and enjoyable meeting.
While the memories are still fresh I would like to share some of my personal highlights from those three festive days in London.
I was delighted to play my part in kicking off the meeting by chairing a talk on "hot trends in pharmacology" from Mene Pangalos from AstraZeneca – a welcome return to the meeting for one of the real stars of his field. Bookending the meeting, I was also pleased to be asked to chair our closing session on artificial intelligence, featuring a refreshingly cross-disciplinary panel encompassing the worlds of drug discovery and big data. Those four fascinating talks underlined the idea that we pharmacologists have so much to learn from other fields – indeed, the future of healthcare and the life sciences is going to be found in just that sort of interdisciplinarity.
The meeting attracted a record number of abstract submissions. It is always one of my great pleasures to see so many members – especially our younger members – presenting their research, both at their posters during breaktimes and in oral presentations – often for the first time.
Giving those sorts of opportunities to young pharmacologists is absolutely core business for us as a Society.
Congratulations to everyone who took part, and all those who won the daily prizes.
It was an equal pleasure to present our latest set of awards, Fellowships and Honorary Fellowships at the Annual Dinner. As well as being an enjoyable social occasion, the prize-giving element of the evening is always a "pinch me" moment where I am reminded of the incredible calibre of scientists we can count on as members and friends.
On that theme, one of my major highlights was a discussion with Danny Hoyer who had travelled 10,000 miles from Australia to receive his Honorary Fellowship. He simply said how delighted he was by the fellowship because he always considered the Society as "family". By that simple statement he summed up my own view.
The membership is your friend indeed when you need support and advice, it supports your discipline through thick and thin, provides wonderful opportunities to share your science worldwide and is always there to help you celebrate your achievements, no matter how big or small.
It is a real privilege to be President of such a 'family'.
As well as I hope being a highlight for the recipients of our prizes and fellowships, having such ambassadors for our discipline is a huge asset to us all. I would encourage you to apply for one of our prizes or awards this year, apply to become a Fellow, or nominate a distinguished colleague for Honorary Fellowship.
As President you would expect me to say this, but at our AGM on day 2 of the meeting it was really gratifying to see Jono, our CEO, share a summary of the Society's achievements in 2018 (year 1 of our five-year strategy). We set ourselves some stretching goals for the year, and in the vast majority of cases we have delivered or gone a long way towards delivering them.
Please do take a look at that summary – I hope it will make you as proud and excited to be a member of the Society as it makes me.
Finally, as ever, it was great fun to catch up with so many old friends and meet new people around the meeting, before and after sessions, during coffee breaks – or in one of many snatched conversations I had in the QEII Centre's ever popular lifts!
At Pharmacology 2018 we announced that from this year we will be moving our annual meeting out of London. The QEII has served us well over the years, but as we all know there is life outside the capital. It is high time we showed to our members that we get that by taking our flagship meeting to other locations around the UK. First stop will be Scotland – watch this space for an announcement about exactly where in the next few weeks.
It may be just a little too soon for some of my hardworking colleagues in the Society office to fully agree with me, but I for one can't wait to start planning for Pharmacology 2019 – bring it on!

There is no question that one of the most impressive cooking performances I have ever seen was Bjorn Frantzen's show at Chef's Revolution in Zwolle organised by Jonnie and Therese Boer of De Librije earlier this year. Together with his team, they prepared 19 dishes which are normally take three and a half hours to prepare in just 44 minutes. He assured the audience that 'we have not trained for this before,' which made it all the more impressive.
The Swedish chef who has two Michelin stars for his restaurant Frantzen in Sweden and is listed 23rd in the World's Best 50 restaurants said that he ends up traveling too many times to tell the restaurant story and what he really wanted to do was cook so he was trying a new experiment which is to showcase the dinner they prepared in the restaurant the previous Saturday.
Frantzen serves one tasting menu of 19 dishes and it is changed every day according to what is fresh, local and seasonal. Anyone who follows this Swedish chef on Twitter or Instagram knows that the chef is constantly experimenting with new dishes and flavour combinations.
Guests at Frantzen also get to see butter being made in front of them. "We make homemade clotted cream which we turn into butter in front of our clients," the Swedish chef said.
He spoke about the exceptional shellfish that they get from Faroe Islands including sea urchins. He said that shellfish normally have a substance that gives sweetness to a dish but this is normally gone after 30 minutes so they needed to ensure that the shellfish they serve in the restaurant is incredibly fresh. This is the length to which the Swedish chef goes to serve freshness on the table.
One of the signature dishes of the restaurant is horse sushi. He said that after the horse meat scandal it has become difficult to use horse because of the negative connotations. Since horse meat is very low in fat it is very difficult to cook so it works best served raw. "However, we need to make sure that what we serve is Swedish horse," Frantzen said.
Like most top end restaurants nowadays, Frantzen has teamed up with a vegetable supplier that has two gardens and supplies the restaurant with vegetables all year round. "We have an all year round supply of vegetables that are in season and as a chef this is really fantastic because you are part of the garden's journey," he said.
The Swedish chef with his team of two assistants managed to present all the dishes in under 45 minutes. We bring you the photos of his dishes courtesy of www.apicbase.com.

Excerpt: In the twenty years since the first studies of the Gautreaux mobility program began to be published, our understanding of housing mobility has become increasingly sophisticated. These programs are not the ultimate "solution" to urban poverty and segregation, but they are crucially important for the families who choose to participate, and they are an important step toward more equitable and integrated metropolitan regions. There will surely be a need for further research, but we have learned enough about the dynamics of housing mobility and its relation to health, education, child development, and employment, to begin to design the next generation of housing mobility programs.

You have terminal stage IV cancer. It's a diagnosis no one ever wants to hear. At 47 years old, Judy Perkins was told she had three years to live. Three years to spend with her husband and their two sons. Three years to create new memories in between chemo and hormone therapy before illness would write her final chapter.
Over a decade earlier, Perkins had a little scare. Pre-cancer. She had a mastectomy to remove her left breast and everything seemed fine. That is, until it came back with a vengeance and in new places. The disease was now known as "metastatic cancer" and the outlook was not good.
In an article published by Women's Health, Perkins explains that after fighting hard and not seeing results, she was basically ready to give up. Eventually she reached the place where hope fizzles out and acceptance of mortality becomes your only option.
An invitation to try immunotherapy would arrive just in the nick of time. It was a roll of the dice through a clinical trial, but at this point she had nothing to lose and everything to gain.
The National Cancer Institute says immunotherapies are changing the landscape of cancer treatment by "empowering a patient's immune system to attack difficult-to-treat cancers, often leading to complete disappearance of tumors."
It proved to be the hardest part of Perkins' journey. "The side effects were rough though. I was lethargic, fatigued and dealing with pain medications that were first making me constipated and then giving me diarrhea. At one point, I had the shivers so badly they had to give me a muscle relaxant."
But it worked! Her tumors were shrinking at an alarming rate, shocking even."I didn't feel pain anymore, so I quit my pain meds cold turkey. I remember being happy in January just to walk around the block with my husband again..."
In May 2016, doctors gave Perkins a clean bill of health. The cancer was gone and they feel confident it will stay that way. Perkins knows she's lucky. She lost two friends who received the same golden ticket when it failed to work for them.
"I'm very much the exception – which is strange because I was preparing to die. My life was on hold, and I had a suddenly empty plate. Now, I'm trying to be thoughtful about filling that time back up again."
Researchers know every second counts. They're working around the clock to develop immunotherapies that work for more people, so there are more stories like this to share.

I remember around 2010, tech journalists predicted that around 2020 everybody would have a 3D printer at home, just as normal it would be as having a normal (paper) printer. Well, I think it is safe to say that is not exactly the case, but price wise there shouldn't really be an excuse not to, since one could buy a good one these days for a reasonable price.
One could debate about necessity, but for sure it can come in quite handy to quickly print something to replace what is broken, or to fit a specific item that is not so common, or simply doesn't exist. Also, in our field of work, we are often confronted with what I call AV tax, a markup on the price, all with good reasons for the most part (because there are just a few of us, developing, manufacturing, and selling fewer items just cost more, economics 101), so if you print disposable items yourself, you might earn your printer purchase back very quickly. The plastics/material (filament in jargon) can be more than sturdy enough for daily abuse. Tests and real world examples have proven.
One could design an object from scratch, or download one and print it (and modify the downloaded part if necessary). Our goal here is to make a database of all files floating around on internet, particularly interesting for location sound use. So this post will grow overtime, when we find new objects to be listed. Also, if you found or made something of interest, please leave a comment to we can put it in the list.
If a link is broken, check this Google drive directory, where I keep backups.
Battery storage holder, holds 1, 2 or 4 AA batteries. Resizable to fit other battery sizes.
Plastic piece for a Rycote Lyre Shock Mount for The Rode VideoMicro microphone. I had mine about 2 days before my 7 year old broke mine, so I designed up a new one and printed it out. It worked fine, until I broke the second one. So Rev A was thickened up a little bit. Maybe it'll last a little longer now.
Improved replacement or additional baseplate for Sennheiser EW100 beltpack receiver/transmitter. This baseplate is similar to the Sennheiser EW100 quick release plate. See the differences and similarities in the pictures: The left one is an original genuine Sennheiser bracket and the right one is a 3D printed redesigned clipon as to be found in the download section.
To be printed with 25% fill, 3 shells, 0,1mm filament layer height, without raft or supports. Custom holes can be drilled if you print this with 100% fill. More versions of this bracket will be uploaded later.
For Sanken COS-11 mic. printed with ultimaker PLA Flex.
Double side tape : TESA 4964.
Redesign of these little pieces you might have lost.
Need a good way to wear a lav mic without looking like an infomercial salesperson? MagLav!
Made for the Rode SmartLav. Use with two 4mmx8mm disc magnets.
DPA 4060 / 4070 Microphone Mount.
A quick simple sun shade for the Zoom F8.
Holds a xlr to an ambient boom pole or vdb boom pole. clamps on with a 3 mm nut and bolt.
This is a fixture for holding XLR connectors and cable to build/repair microphone cables.
This is an XLR cable clip for a microphone boom pole. It's used to secure the cable to the boom pole so that it doesn't dangle around and make noise when recording.
There are three different files. They start smaller and get larger to accommodate the diameter of the boom pole. The one that I have has a three section telescoping rod system, which is why three different diameters are needed.
The cable end of the clip fits a standard 6mm wide XLR cable. The width of the part of the clip will vary based on which boom pole you're using and the size of it, but these are the three that worked for me.
I'm curious about the lyre suspension (either version). Did it do a good job of isolating the mic from handling noise?
Didn't try this printed one yet, friend of mine is testing it as we speak, but the real store bought Rycote ones are pretty good.
Nice!! Been trying to find low profile caps. Nice article and thanks for the share!!!!

Brokholes History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The Anglo-Saxon name Brokholes comes from the family having resided near the brock-hole, or badger hole. Brockholes is a small village in West Yorkshire and true to its name is home to an extensive network of badger setts which are now carefully watched over by a local badger protection group.
Early Origins of the Brokholes family
The surname Brokholes was first found in Lancashire at the township of Myerscough. " This is one of the forest townships in the parish, the manor of which has been held of the duchy of Lancaster by the Brockholes family, whose ancestor resided here in the beginning of the 17th century." [1] Myerscough Hall was built in 1577 and was presumably the family seat.
Important Dates for the Brokholes family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Brokholes research. Another 81 words (6 lines of text) covering the years 130 and 1300 are included under the topic Early Brokholes History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Brokholes Spelling Variations
Brokholes has been spelled many different ways. Before English spelling became standardized over the last few hundred years, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. As the English language changed in the Middle Ages, absorbing pieces of Latin and French, as well as other languages, the spelling of people's names also changed considerably, even over a single lifetime. Spelling variants included: Brockholles, Brockholes, Brockholle, Brockhole and many more.
Early Notables of the Brokholes family (pre 1700)
More information is included under the topic Early Brokholes Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Brokholes family
In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Brokholess to arrive on North American shores: John Brockhole who settled in Virginia in 1747.

Q: What are the advantages of client-side templating (mustache-like) In order to avoid writing JavaScript code that manually generates HTML for dynamic pages (which is not only ugly, but not DRY at all), and having simplicity and elegance in mind (as opposed to performance), what are the advantages of using string based templates on the client, such as Mustache.js or Handlebars.js, retrieving json data and templates separately, over using a REST API that retrieves server-side rendered pieces of html?
I was under the impression that client-side templating was the best approach to keep it simple on dynamic pages, but after using it a bit I'm finding that maintaining a page like that is somewhat complex, and its main advantages are better performance and bandwidth usage, which are not generally my primary goals.

A: I'm currently using Twitter's Hogan library and before that I was using the Trimpath library. I'm a true believer in client side templating; but they should not be abused. Here is a few arguments:

*

*Just like with server side templates, it helps distinguishing application logic from presentation. Instead of creating a hierarchy of DOM elements manually during run time, defining a template with HTML and rendering it with data from javascript create more readable and elegant code.

*I find it practical to have client side templates for repeating hierarchies such as twitter posts, blog entries, news articles, etc... The server only sends the JSON data, (through an AJAX call most of the time), and the data can immediately be bound to the template.

*Template engines I have used update innerHTML with the generated HTML string. This is said to be faster than DOM manipulation, but I have never run a benchmark myself.

*Desktop applications and RIAs can benefit much from client side templates. They can drive their interfaces without depending on a 3rd party solution.

*We can easily have server side templates and client side templates in our projects. They can work together very well. In web projects, I would not recommend we should port our templates to the client side and only send data from the server. For example, I use server side templates with INCLUDE statements to build the entire page. One template can include another template structure to build the interface.
This is a complicated task for client side templates that will just create unnecessary code and overhead.

RR: 8.5
Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb. The movie may be 40 years old now, but it's still a classic, and the inspiration behind this map by Sk8er. The action takes place inside this nuclear bomber - also on its wings, on top of it, or even on the bomb trailing behind it!
Well it is a bit of a gimmick map, and not the first one to be set on a plane in flight, but it's nicely done. It does seem to have one flaw, in that the message "learned to love the bomb" came up whenever anyone fell off/out of the bomber... but it didn't say who! Usually it is possible to insert the name of the player into such announcements. I did wonder initially if it was possible to reach the ground, by teleporting perhaps, but apparently the ground here is actually a "skybox" - "groundbox"?
Anyway, it's a bit of fun.


Wool Growers is located in a part of East Bakersfield, a district which is home to many Basque cuisine restaurants. This is known to many as the Basque Block.
In 1874, the Southern Pacific railroad was extended to the southern San Joaquin Valley. Bakersfield was positioned to be a whistle-stop, but a land dispute developed between the city and the railroad. Southern Pacific wanted two blocks of land from the city, Bakersfield was only willing to give one block. The result of the dispute was Southern Pacific building its tracks five miles east of Bakersfield and founding their own town. That town was called Sumner in honor of Joseph W. Sumner, and mine owner and judge. It would eventually become East Bakersfield. The Sumner post office opened in 1876.
Since the train went through Sumner, instead of Bakersfield, it was a serious competitor to the city. However, the citizens of Bakersfield rallied, and maintained a presence in their city. By 1888, a street car line was built between Bakersfield and Sumner. The route was down 19th St, and was the only road that connected the two settlements.
By 1892, Sumner, which was now known as Kern City, would incorporate into a city. Bakersfield, which deincorporated (or dissolved as a city) in 1874, would begin to reconsider becoming a city. Six years later, Bakersfield would vote to reincorporate, and became a city again. It was also the same year Bakersfield became its own whistle-stop with the building of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Railroad, which was later bought by Santa Fe.
With the construction of the railroad, the need for Kern City diminished. By 1910, Kern City voted to join Bakersfield. It also became known as East Bakersfield. This became Bakersfield's first major expansion outside its central boundaries. Most of the cities second service locations would be in East Bakersfield. These would include: second fire station, second library (Baker Street Branch), and high school (East Bakersfield High School).
Old Town Kern is located primarily around Baker Street, and was the former central business district for the town of Sumner (which was later renamed Kern City). This was the location of the original train station in Bakersfield and competed to be the commercial downtown, eventually losing to the present location west of Old Town Kern.

Country - Estonia
Flag of Estonia
Estonia (Eesti ), officially the Republic of Estonia (Eesti Vabariik), is a country in Northern Europe. It is bordered to the north by the Gulf of Finland with Finland on the other side, to the west by the Baltic Sea with Sweden on the other side, to the south by Latvia (343 km), and to the east by Lake Peipus and Russia (338.6 km). The territory of Estonia consists of a mainland and 2,222 islands in the Baltic Sea, covering a total area of 45227 km2, water 2839 km2, land area 42388 km2, and is influenced by a humid continental climate. The official language of the country, Estonian, is the second most spoken Finnic language.
The territory of Estonia has been inhabited since at least 9,000 B.C. Ancient Estonians were some of the last European pagans to be Christianized, following the Livonian Crusade in the 13th century. After centuries of successive rule by Germans, Danes, Swedes, Poles and Russians, a distinct Estonian national identity began to emerge in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This culminated in independence from Russia in 1920 after a brief War of Independence at the end of World War I. Initially democratic, after the Great Depression Estonia was governed by authoritarian rule since 1934 during the Era of Silence. During World War II (1939–1945), Estonia was repeatedly contested and occupied by the Soviet Union and Germany, ultimately being incorporated into the former as the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic. After the loss of its de facto independence, Estonia's de jure state continuity was preserved by diplomatic representatives and the government-in-exile. In 1987 the peaceful Singing Revolution began against Soviet rule, resulting in the restoration of de facto independence on 20 August 1991.

Founded in 2005, Starbuzz Serpent Premium Flavored Tobacco is one of the most prominent names in modern hookah tobacco - love it or hate it, everyone knows who Starbuzz is. They focus on unique flavor combinations that are smooth and sweet and have plenty of juice to produce those fluffy clouds we all find ourselves chasing. In 2017, they released their Serpent line which is another fine cut dark leaf tobacco like Vintage except this one is kettle cured. It is not nearly as robust as the Vintage so it is a nice in between for people who want to transition into smoking darker leaf tobaccos.
Starbuzz has a huge variety to choose from and their 200 gram jars allow for Hookah users to smoke several times a month or with large groups of friends. The packaging on these have stunning graphics with a sealed inner package. It is a resealable pouch so make sure to store it at room temperature so that it maintains its freshness.
Starbuzz Serpent is middle of the road as far as juiciness is concerned so it can be packed in any style bowl such as an Egyptian clay bowl or phunnel bowl. It is a higher nicotine content tobacco and is a finely cut dark leaf so it can be packed dense to control the amount of nicotine intake per draw but has the best flavor results when it is packed at a semi-dense level or just slightly looser. Just sprinkle it in and add a fair amount of extra tobacco before nudging it down to a semi-dense level that still has some airflow and buoyancy. It is not overly heat sensitive so it is suggested to start with 2-3 hookah coals depending on the size of your hookah bowl you are using and work your way up.
