Valentin Brifaut, né à Bruxelles le  et décédé à Ixelles le , est un avocat, militant antimaçonnique, essayiste, conférencier et député du Parti catholique belge.

Biographie

Petit-fils de l'historien Natalis Marie Briavoine, Valentin Brifaut est l'animateur principal de la Ligue antimaçonnique. Un fonds d'archives sur la franc-maçonnerie et l'antimaçonnisme porte son nom à l'Université catholique de Louvain.

De confession catholique et militant, il adhéra aux Jeunes gardes catholiques, puis au bureau de la Fédération des associations et cercles catholiques. Il était par ailleurs un proche du roi Albert  de Belgique.

Il est député de Dinant-Philippeville en 1912 et sénateur suppléant en 1933 du Parti catholique.

Durant la Première Guerre mondiale, il fut pilote de chasse au sein de la Force aérienne belge (avec le grade de capitaine), il milita pour le développement de cette force au sein de l'armée belge.

En 1921, il assista au premier Congrès des catholiques polonais.  Il était accompagné du Révérend Père Georges Rutten et du baron Henri de Trannoy, deux amis d'université de Louvain.

Il fut le premier président de la Fédération des scouts catholiques de 1929, jusqu'en 1936. Sa lutte antimaçonnique le poussa à détecter l'influence de la franc-maçonnerie dans le scoutisme, avant de s'engager dans la promotion du scoutisme catholique, dont il sera l'un des cadres, sur les conseils du cardinal Francis Bourne, archevêque de Westminster. Son fils Henry Brifaut, occupera également des rôles importants dans la fédération. Il sera le chef de troupe du Prince Baudouin .

Gendre du sénateur Charles Claes, il est le beau-père du baron Étienne de le Court, chef de cabinet du prince royal.

Exclusive: Inter scout Leverkusen starlet targeted by Arsenal
26 October at 23:30
After the Champions League matches on Tuesday on Wednesday, Inter sent their men to watch the bests talent of the Europa League. Not surprisingly, there was an Inter scout in Zurich for the match between the Swiss team and Bayer Leverkusen.
According to Calciomercato.com, the name on the radar of the Nerazzurri was Kai Havertz, one of the best German prospects on which the country is counting a lot towards the future. Havertz has also attracted interest from Arsenal in the recent months.
Bellarabi was the protagonist of the German team in the match, while Havertz did not play an unforgettable match, but Inter has been following him for some time and the relationship is very positive.
Born in 1999, the playmaker or, if necessary, winger, Havertz has quality with significant improvement margins. The player has a contract with Leverkusen until 2022 and it will take at least 35 million euros to take him away from the Bundesliga, with the club already refusing lower offers from the Premier League.

GOP taps seasoned broadcaster for New Mexico governor race
By MORGAN LEE The Associated Press
Republican Mark Ronchetti addresses the crowd with his wife and two daughters after winning the Republican primary for governor of New Mexico during an election party held at the Marriott in northeast Albuquerque, N.M., on Tuesday, June 7, 2022. Ronchetti was running against incumbent Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham. (Chancey Bush/The Albuquerque Journal via AP)[ASSOCIATED PRESS/Chancey Bush]
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Republicans picked a seasoned TV broadcaster to take on New Mexico's incumbent Democratic governor, nominating former network meteorologist Mark Ronchetti on his pledges to rein in state spending, shore up policing and unleash already record-setting oil production.
Ronchetti won Tuesday's primary by a wide margin in a field of five candidates that included state Rep. Rebecca Dow, a prominent voice among Republicans in the Legislature.
The GOP nominee, joined on the victory stage by his wife and school-aged daughters, pledged to back police officers by restoring immunity from prosecution and blasted Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham for a lengthy suspension of in-person teaching and student proficiency testing during the pandemic.
"Now our children are even further behind, and she has no plan to catch them up," Ronchetti said. "Every at-risk child deserves to know that they have a chance with a great education."
He added a jab at new social studies standards that increase instruction related to racial and social identity in a heavily Latino and Native American state.
"We'll focus on teaching them reading, writing, history, science and math. One thing we won't teach them is how to hate each other," Ronchetti said.
New Mexico is home to 23 federally recognized Native American tribes and nations, while nearly half the population claims Hispanic ethnicity.
Separately, the Democratic nomination for attorney general went to Raúl Torrez, a second-term district attorney for Albuquerque and its outskirts. He defeated State Auditor Brian Colón to vie in an open race against Republican attorney and U.S. Marine veteran Jeremy Michael Gay of Gallup.
Torrez has pledged to expand the state's capacity and expertise to handle consumer-rights litigation. He has criticized some provisions of judicial reforms that limit the use of money bail in decisions about pre-trial release.
New Mexico has alternated between Democratic and Republican governors since the early 1980s. An incumbent governor last lost reelection in 1994.
The November election for New Mexico governor will be a test of Democratic resolve in an oil-producing region with a strong culture of gun ownership and evolving opinions on abortion access.
The GOP in 2020 flipped a congressional district along the U.S. border with Mexico with the election of Republican U.S. Rep. Yvette Herrell, a firm defender of former President Donald Trump.
Ronchetti has pledged to deploy 150 state law enforcement personnel to the remote international border with Mexico to combat illegal migration and drug and human trafficking. The proposal echoes National Guard deployments by Republican governors in Arizona and Texas.
In a nod to his days as a TV personality, Ronchetti cracked some jokes on the victory stage. He ridiculed the governor for what he called lavish public spending at the governor's mansion on premium beef and liquor, contrasting that with his own offer of chips, salsa and a cash bar for supporters on election night.
Lujan Grisham spent much of Election Day surveying recent destruction from the largest wildfire in recorded New Mexico history. President Joe Biden is scheduled to discuss relief efforts during a planned visit Saturday to Santa Fe.
Republicans have faltered in a string of statewide elections, ceding control of every statewide elected office to Democrats, including the five-seat state Supreme Court.
Since taking office in 2019, Lujan Grisham and the Democratic-led Legislature have enacted reforms to ensure access to abortion, expand government oversight of guns and expand police accountability by lifting immunity from prosecution for misconduct.
The incumbent governor has walked a fine line on the environment with climate change initiatives that rein in methane pollution from oilfield infrastructure, phase out coal-fired power plants and mandate new renewable energy investments without restricting oil production. New Mexico last year surpassed North Dakota to become the nation's No. 2 oil producer behind Texas.
Lujan Grisham has harnessed a surge in state government income to underwrite teacher raises, offer free college education to in-state students, expand preschool and bolster Medicaid coverage across a state with high rates of poverty.
In response to inflation, the state is sending out staggered payments of up to $1,500 per household between June and August.
New Mexico's most recent Republican governor was Susana Martinez, an El Paso native with family ties in Mexico who served as a district attorney before winning an open race to succeed termed-out Gov. Bill Richardson.
First-term congresswomen were seeking reelection to New Mexico's three congressional districts, without primary challengers.
In the 2nd District of southern New Mexico, Las Cruces City Councilor Gabe Vasquez won the Democratic nomination to challenge Herrell. He defeated rural physician Darshan Patel.
In the 1st District that includes most of Albuquerque and rural communities to the south, the GOP nomination to challenge Democratic U.S. Rep. Melanie Stansbury was won by former police Detective Michelle Garcia Holmes.
Holmes ran for the same congressional seat in 2020 and was defeated by Democrat Deb Haaland, now serving as U.S. Interior secretary.
In other statewide races, former Sandoval County Treasurer Laura Montoya won the Democratic nomination for state treasurer, defeating former Magistrate Judge and Treasury official Heather Benavidez. Montoya will compete against former Santa Fe County Commissioner Harry Montoya in an open race to replace termed out State Treasurer Tim Eichenberg.
The Democratic nomination for state auditor went to utilities regulator Joseph Maestas, an elected member of the Public Regulation Commission. He'll confront Libertarian write-in candidate Robert Vaillancourt in a general election without a Republican contender.
In state legislative races, state Rep. Roger Montoya of Velarde was ousted in the Democratic primary by Joseph Sanchez of Alcalde, who gave up the seat in 2020 to run unsuccessfully for Congress.
About 25% of eligible voters participated in the primary, with higher turnout among registered Republicans.

Auditor's report on Pike County Sheriff: Gambling, seized cash and impounded vehicles
Pike County sheriff Charles Reader is officially suspended from office, Ohio Supreme Court announced Tuesday. Investigators disclosed their findings.
Auditor's report on Pike County Sheriff: Gambling, seized cash and impounded vehicles Pike County sheriff Charles Reader is officially suspended from office, Ohio Supreme Court announced Tuesday. Investigators disclosed their findings.

A group of retired judges assembled by the Ohio Supreme Court confirmed the decision to suspend Pike County Sheriff Charles Reader as his criminal case proceeds.
Reader has been charged with tampering with evidence, tampering with records, theft, conflict of interest and securing writings by deception on June 28, according to court records.
A special commission comprised of three retired judges was presented with documents pertaining to Reader's case from the prosecutor overseeing the case.
In the documents were greater details alleging Reader was fueling a gambling habit using money seized by his office.
The special commission determined that Reader's continued administration or conduct as Sheriff of Pike County would "adversely affect the functioning of that office, and would adversely affect the rights and interests of the public," according to court documents.
Reader was suspended from the office of Sheriff of Pike County on July 30.
On Tuesday, the special commission announced that this decision was final. Reader did not contest this decision, according to court documents.
Investigators: Reader admits to a gambling problem
Investigators from the State Auditor's Office went back three years and allege Reader had more than $17,000 worth of gambling losses.
A search warrant was executed on Dec. 13, 2018, after an anonymous complaint came into the agency fraud hotline website mentioning alleged misconduct by Reader, according to court records.

Reader told investigators during the execution of the search that his wife was threatening to divorce him over his gambling, documents state. Reader revealed to investigators that his gambling activity increased during the Rhoden family homicide investigation in 2016, "when he was staying up late at night and couldn't sleep."
Reader was one of the investigators involved in the Rhoden family murders. If convicted, Reader could imperil the prosecution of four members of the Wagner family, according to legal experts.
George "Billy" Wagner and Angela Wagner and their two adult children, George Wagner IV and Edward "Jake" Wagner, were arrested and charged with murder after eight members of the Rhoden family were killed in April of 2016.
In records from Readers' suspension, investigators said Eldorado Scioto Downs Racino provided records that show Reader frequented their Columbus establishment an average of three to five times per month. Between 2016 and 2018, Reader had lost more than $17,000 at the casino: $595.37 in 2016; $5,526.96 in 2017; and $11,033.54 in 2018.
Reader also reportedly lost $739 in one night alone on Dec. 2, 2017 at Hollywood Casino Columbus.
Where did the money come from?
A total of $9,500 in loans were given to Reader from fellow employees and vendors since 2017, documents state.
According to the investigators, Reader took out loans ranging from $500 to $2,500 from Pike County Sheriff's Office employees and from Foill Inc. co-owner Frederic "Chip" Foill III, while Foill Inc. was contracted to handle projects for Pike County — including working on sheriff's vehicles and fabrication work for the jail and courthouse.
On top of the loans, investigators found suspicious activity revolving around drug evidence bags in a safe underneath Reader's desk, documents state.
Reader had told his department that all cash money seized should be routed to him and kept in a safe in his office, according to investigators.
One of the evidence bags appeared to be initially sealed, and then resealed, the documents state. The bag, containing $6,020, held bills with no creases, appearing to be from a bank.
Capt. James Burchett, who originally counted and sealed the seized money and then handed it over to Reader, insisted that the bag had not been sealed like that when he had handed it to Reader.
The documents state that Burchett looked at the money and then said, "that is NOT the money I counted, guys... He stole the f***ing money."
Impounded cars moved by Reader, investigators allege
Two vehicles were listed in the auditor's findings.
The first, a 2013 Nissan Versa, was impounded by the Pike County Sheriff's Office in August of 2017.
During an auction that month, court documents state that Foill, co-owner of Foill Inc. and the long-time vendor with contracts with Pike County, was requested by Reader to bid on and buy the Versa. Foill purchased the vehicle at the auction for $2,000.
The car should have been worth at least $2,000 more, but Reader had told Cpl. Adam Ball to "dull down" and dirty up the vehicle prior to the auction, according to the documents.
After the auction the vehicle came into Reader's possession, documents state. Reader and his daughter posted photos of the Versa on Facebook and sold the vehicle for $5,500.
Almost two years later, Reader asked Pike County special deputy John Koeppel and his girlfriend to bid on a 1991 Chevrolet Silverado at another Pike County Sheriff's auction, according to documents. Koeppel and his girlfriend bid for and bought the vehicle for $350 before Reader took possession of the vehicle, documents state.
The Silverado was then placed in the name of Blaise Reader, Charles Reader's father, the auditor's report said.
Reader never reimbursed Koeppel or his girlfriend that $350, according to court documents.

Home > Our Impact > Stories from Overseas > Every two seconds…
Every day 180,000 people move to cities. That's two people every second. Asia alone experiences an increase of 120,000 new residents per day which creates an inevitable growth of urban slums. People living in slums face inadequate living conditions including a lack of access to water, sanitation, electricity and other basic services. Moreover, slums are often endemic with disease, crime, and corruption and are more susceptible to natural disasters.
The inability of governments to provide appropriate infrastructure and public services to accommodate the rapid growth of urbanisation exacerbates the poor living conditions and risks slum population face. Lack of equitable access to land and housing potentially has a cascading effect that destabilises the wider economy and increases social instability.
Cities that focus on improving housing, living conditions and infrastructure can reduce poverty. At the same time, they place their populations in a significantly better position to deal with climate change and become more resilient.
That's why Habitat is working with community groups in urban slum areas of the Asia Pacific to improve living conditions, infrastructure and access to services to accommodate growing populations.
For example, Habitat for Humanity Australia, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Cambodia, has formalised an urban slum area in Battambang city. The project focuses on assisting informal settlers access greater land tenure security by helping families gain a Social Land Concession certificate. The transitional process moves families from insecure to secure tenure, after a five year period of continuous residency.
In Bangladesh we are also working to improve urban resiliency by working in communities in some of the biggest slums in Dhaka. Dhaka's population is expected to spiral to 27 million by 2030.
Habitat for Humanity organised a Planning and Design workshop with a community group to identify the hazards in a vulnerability assessment of their slum. The community noted a number of hazards including sanitation, access to water, vocational or technical training, waste management system and health services. Habitat will be working with community members to develop an implementation plan to address these and create a more resilient community.

How Did Shopify and Bigcommerce Beat Amazon At Its Own Game?
By Rich Duprey Published March 25, 2015 Fool.com
Usually, Amazon.com is able to deliver the goods; but in the B2B arena, the e-commerce king came out short.
How did it come to this? How did Amazon.com , the biggest and arguably the best Internet retailer, lose out to Johnny-come-lately upstarts in what analysts think could be a $500 billion opportunity? In a word: indifference. Amazon just isn't that into you. Or rather, your business.
An expanding universeAmazon is by far the largest Internet retailer in the world, recording more than $29.3 billion in net fourth-quarter revenues, and a surprise profit of $214 million. Of that total, about $23.1 billion came from merchandise it actually sold to consumers, a figure which was up 9.6% year-over-year.
The rest, or $6.2 billion, came from what Amazon calls "net service sales," which represent the commissions it earns from third-party merchants that sell wares on Amazon's various marketplaces, through its Amazon Web Services cloud-computing operation, and via other smaller revenue sources. They jumped almost 38% from the year-ago period.
That explosive growth is part of the larger trend in seeing e-commerce assume a growing percentage of all retail sales. And according to the industry watchers at Internet Retailer, not only is e-commerce growing faster than bricks-and-mortar retail sales, but Amazon is growing faster than e-commerce as a whole, even if, in more recent quarters, that expansion has slowed a bit.
Even if rates of growth are slowing, Amazon.com remains an e-commerce behemoth. Data: U.S. Department of Commerce, Amazon.com, Internet Retailer.
At the end of 2014, Internet sales in the U.S. accounted for 6.5% of all retail sales, and that's expected to hit 8.9% by 2018, or around $500 billion total. China, which is the world's largest e-commerce sales market with more than $426 billion in Internet sales last year, is expected to grow to more than $1 trillion all by itself. In three years time, e-commerce is expected to total $2.5 trillion, with China and the U.S. accounting for more than half of all the Internet retail sales made.
And as Amazon's quarterly results indicate, a good portion -- 21% in the fourth quarter -- comes from providing a platform for other merchants to sell their goods and services on the Internet.
You're on your ownThrough its Marketplace service, Amazon helps Internet retailers create and run their own online stores by providing them with the tools, technology, and expertise to manage their own direct-to-consumer business.
But being the biggest and best at selling goods yourself doesn't mean you can replicate that when helping others to do the same. Last week, Amazon began informing the small and midsized business customers of its Webstore platform that they needed to find a new home for their businesses, because it was closing the service down on July 1, 2016.
According to a copy of an email Amazon sent to Webstore customers that was obtained by MarketingLand.com, it advised them of what to do before Amazon shut off the lights: "Please make sure you secure all relevant data from your Webstore by July 1, 2016, as you will not have access to Amazon Webstore content or features after this date. Amazon Webstore's data export features can be used for this purpose as you migrate to a new platform."
While Amazon doesn't say why it's closing down its Webstore, it follows a similar decision made last year by eBay to shutter its Magento Go software service for small businesses. It recommended they move to Bigcommerce, an up and coming e-commerce platform that caters to small e-tailers with between $1 million and $2 million in annual sales.
David against GoliathBut Bigcommerce is actually a smaller player; the leader would be Shopify, a purpose-built platform for the e-commerce industry that is rated as both better and cheaper than Webstore. In fact, just as Shopify was securing $100 million in funding in December 2013, Amazon was doubling the rates Webstore charged.
Shopify is now the engine powering more than 150,000 businesses worldwide, a better than tenfold increase in three years, or a compounded annual growth rate of more than 125%. For businesses that had outgrown Craiglist or eBay, Shopify provided a means of businesses controlling their own destiny. According to Shopify's website, more than $5 billion in gross merchandise has been sold on Shopify's platforms since 2006.
And though small- and medium-sized businesses have found a home with Shopify, some of the largest retail brands in fashion, automobiles, entertainment and media use the platform, including Tesla Motors, Google, and Anheuser-Busch InBev's Budweiser beer.
Shopify is not just for small companies; big automotive retailers like Tesla Motors have found its platform useful. Image: Shopify.
Game overAnd that's how Amazon lost when, in theory, it should have won. It's because the e-commerce powerhouse is really only interested in building its own business and brand, and not those of its third-party affiliates. Even when customers buy from Amazon's Marketplace, they still consider themselves buying from Amazon. Who the actual retailer is remains a secondary consideration, store ratings notwithstanding.
That's why a Shopify initial public offering is generating considerable interest. Anticipated sometime this spring, the web-hosting platform is planning to raise roughly $100 million in a dual U.S.-Canada offering with backing from Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, and RBC Capital Markets.
No one has to worry that Amazon.com is going to wither away; but as this episode in B2B commerce highlights, the bigger they are, the harder they really do fall.

The six-legged robot is not bound by the obstacles that have restricted its kind for years.
University of Pennsylvania engineering professor Daniel Koditschek and fifth-year PhD student Aaron Johnson developed the droid that can jump over gaps and climb ledges - obstacles that have impeded mobile robots in the past.
Mr Johnson explained: "Even just walking takes a lot of coordination on the part of the robot. On the joystick I just hit the forward button and it goes. But, its actually coordinating all six legs to work in sync."
The researchers built the robot, called X-RHex Lite, using lightweight carbon fibre, allowing the small bot to perform its leaping and climbing functions without consuming too much power. This way, the robot can keep moving after clearing an obstacle.
Professor Koditschek says legged robots like X-RHex Lite were originally conceived to mimic the mobility of animals, and that robotics research is just beginning to scratch the surface of what animals can do.

Georg Bredig, född 1 oktober 1868 i Glogau, Provinsen Schlesien, död 24 april 1944 i New York, var en tysk fysikalisk kemist.

Bredig var verksam vid Universität Leipzig 1895–1901 och var professor i kemi vid Universität Heidelberg 1901–1910, vid ETH Zürich 1910 och Technische Hochschule Karlsruhe 1911–1933.

Bredig utförde grundläggande forskning inom katalys genom att framställda kolloidala dispersioner av metaller och jämföra de katalytiska egenskaperna hos dess metallkolloider med verkan av enzymer. Han gjorde också betydelsefulla insatser inom reaktionskinetik och elektrokemi.

Efter nazisternas maktövertagande 1933 blev Bredig tvungen att lämna sin universitetspost på grund av hans judiska påbrå, trots att han själv betraktade sig som protestant. Han erbjöds senare en tjänst vid Princeton University, vilket gjorde det möjligt för honom att emigrera till USA 1940.

A young girl is murdered and left for dead deep in native forest. The murderer's first instincts tell him he'll get caught, but as time goes on he thinks he's got away with it. Unfortunately for him, first instincts are usually right as nature aids revenge.
The story is an original idea by writing team Jane Shearer and Steve Ayson. The project was conceived and developed while they were in artist residence at Chateau de La Napoule. Shearer and Ayson previously spent six months at the Maurits Binger Film Institute on the writers programme.
Nature's Way is set in two distinct landscapes; the forest, and the new modern suburb that threatens to invade and destroy it. These two elements are embedded in the journey of the film, and visually tell a story that is interwoven with the deeper themes.
The forest is uniquely New Zealand, and is virgin native bush. A canopy of ponga and mature native trees is underscored by dense undergrowth of fern.
The suburb is one that exists in almost any developing city and town around the world where the forest is being cleared for new housing.
In Nature's Way the murderers house is on the very edge of a forest. The fence around the man's property holds a small gate that provides a link from his manicured domain to the as yet untouched forest beyond it.
In realising the story's elements there was incredible attention needed to the particular look and tone of the visual elements. Cinematographer Andrew Commis is one of Australia's emerging talents and has brought an understated darkness to the photography. Commis has won Gold and Silver Australian Cinematographers Society Awards for his work to date. His most recent short work as cinematographer, Blue
Tongue played at Critics Week (SIC), Festival de Cannes 2005. The film is entirely without dialogue, so one of the crucial elements came into place when Jack Hutchings (editor, Cracker Bag, Winner Golden Palm, Festival de Cannes 2003) came on board to edit the film. Without the director meeting him, he committed on the basis of the script.
Equal importance was the score, and Rachel Shearer is known for her edgy and unique composition and sound design and pared back sensibility. She has provided a stunning and visceral soundtrack.

Voices Forged By The Sea:
The 2023 New Year's Deck Log Contest has been announced!
Read the full 2023 contest announcement here: 2023 New Year's Deck Log Entry Contest
The New Year's Deck Log Entry Contest
Sailors, we want to hear your voice! The Naval History and Heritage Command is hereby reviving the tradition of the New Year's Deck Log Poetry contest. Let your poetic prowess be celebrated!
The deck log is the official record maintained by all commissioned U.S. Navy vessels. While the contents of a deck log are generally fiercely regulated, the United States Navy has long held the tradition of the Midnight New Year's Day Poem. The first entry of the New Year, written in verse, gives a brief glimpse into the minds of the sailors and shipboard life, and provides a human voice to the otherwise impersonal deck log. Unfortunately, this tradition is waning with each passing New Year's Day. Contests held by Navy Times in the 1960s drew hundreds of entries, but the number of official deck log submissions with special New Year's Day content has dwindled each year. By reviving the contest, the Naval History and Heritage Command hopes to preserve the tradition and boost participation throughout the Fleet.
This page has details on how to enter, a brief history of the tradition, and historical examples available for download. Links to highlighted and winning entries beginning with 2020 can also be found on this page.
2023 Contest Details

(U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Jeremy Graham)
An article in the January 1969 All Hands magazine reminded Sailors of the importance of ship's deck logs. It begins with the following practical, if somewhat oddly-worded description - "A ship's deck log must always record the important things that happened aboard—events which affect the ship or its crew, or having with history something to do." However, the use of such tortured wording becomes clear as it goes on to say, "There is also a time that it should be in rhyme. For better or worse, and written in verse, it's the midwatch log on January first."
It's unclear just when this tradition began, though it seems to be in place by 1926, judging from a Commanding Officer's disapproval of a rhyming entry in USS Pennsylvania's (BB-38) deck log. Then Lieutenant (jg) Arthur Ageton recalled that the "Skipper was a humorless fella who had never heard of this tradition and sent the Log back to me for rewriting in less rhythmical style."
Whenever it started, the tradition continues on to this day in the U.S. Navy, and also in the U.S. Coast Guard. Through times of peace and war, whether underway or in drydock, New Year's Day deck log entries allow Sailors to express their hopes, their humor, and even their grievances, all while recording the required information: "which hawsers are tied; the ships alongside; who SOPA might be; the state of the sea; the ship's position; the material condition; the soundings and draft; what objects are aft…" (as explained in All Hands).

January 08, 2018 07:30 ET | Source: Helius Medical Technologies, Inc.
NEWTOWN, Pa., Jan. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Helius Medical Technologies, Inc. (TSX:HSM) (TSX:HSM.WT) (OTCQB:HSDT) ("Helius" or the "Company"), a medical technology company focused on neurological wellness, announced today that researchers have completed a study evaluating the investigational Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator ("PoNS") on brain activity.
The objective of the study, conducted at HealthTech Connex, Inc. in Surrey, British Columbia, was to: 1) evaluate whether a single, twenty-minute session of two PoNS stimulation waveforms - High Frequency (HF) and Low Frequency (LF) - impacted objective measures of brain activity recorded by high density 64-channel electroencephalography (EEG); and 2) whether there were differences between the two PoNS stimulation waveforms. The study randomized a total of 20 healthy neurologically intact participants into two groups to counterbalance exposure order to each PoNS stimulation waveform.
Brain waves were recorded from each participant for 20 minutes before using the PoNS, 20 minutes while using either the HF or LF PoNS device, and then for 20 minutes without the device in the mouth. After a 1 week period, participants repeated the same procedure, this time stimulating with the alternative PoNS device tested in their initial visit. Each subject's EEG brain activity was then analyzed using Time/Frequency Power Analysis and a Spatial Microstate Analysis.
EEG results confirmed that Translingual Neurostimulation (TLNS), electrical energy delivered through the PoNS device to the tongue, generated statistically significant differences in brain activity.
Statistically significant increases in Alpha frequencies of brain waves, which are associated with relaxation and reflection, and Theta frequencies of brain waves, which are associated with idea generation, were observed in the post-stimulation rest period for the HF-first group. The results for the HF-first group suggests an important exposure effect for PoNS stimulation.
Statistically significant increases in Alpha changes pre-to-post stimulation, which are associated with relaxation and reflection, were present when data for both HF and LF waveform groups were evaluated in combination.
Significant increases in attention-related brain activity were also seen in the HF group. The effects began during PoNS stimulation and continued to increase following stimulation to a level that was significantly greater than baseline.
"We have seen very positive results in our participation as a site for the Helius' Traumatic Brain Injury trial completed in 2017 with PoNS Therapy and this new work reveals some intriguing observations. When both levels of PoNS stimulation are combined, we see a statistically significant increase in brain activity during the post-stimulus period and the HF pulse seems to have a clearly different exposure effect on brain activity. The implications of seeing these effects is very exciting and as a result, we are pushing ahead with further work in this area and look forward to publishing these data," said Dr. Ryan D'Arcy, President and Chief Scientific Officer at HealthTech Connex.
The PoNS is an investigational, non-invasive, medical device designed to deliver neurostimulation through the tongue. Clinical research has shown that electrical stimulation of the tongue activates two major cranial nerves – the trigeminal nerve and the facial nerve. Electrical stimulation of these cranial nerves creates a flow of neural impulses that are then delivered directly into the brain stem and cerebellum. PoNS Therapy combines the use of the PoNS device with physical therapy. The company has completed its clinical trials for balance disorder in patients with mild to moderate Traumatic Brian Injury (TBI) and are looking forward to submitting an application for marketing authorization in the US and other jurisdictions for the PoNS device in the first half of 2018. Additional trials in multiple sclerosis, stroke and cerebral palsy have shown promising results and provide support for pursuing additional indications for use.
Helius Medical Technologies is a medical technology company focused on neurological wellness. Helius seeks to develop, license and acquire unique and non-invasive platform technologies that amplify the brain's ability to heal itself. Helius intends to file for FDA clearance for the PoNS device. For more information, please visit www.heliusmedical.com.
Work pioneered by Dr. Ryan D'Arcy and his team (Ghosh Hajra et al. 2016), has led to the development of a novel approach to extract novel brain vital signs from brainwaves recorded from electroencephalography (EEG). The team isolated well-established brainwave markers for auditory sensation, basic attention, and cognitive processing.
