I have rarely met a motorist that thought about motorcycles in traffic and gave a warm remark. Aside from people who are actually into motorcycles or use them for their everyday transport, the people I talk to find motorcyclists rude to their automobile brethren and feel that they usually do not have to abide by the same laws as those with four-wheels.
In defense of those on two-wheels, sometimes they do what they have to do because some of those in cars do not know how to properly address a motorist on two-wheels while on the road. I have seen it many times on C5 while on the way to school. Someone on a motorcycle with full safety gear, riding properly in his lane, on center, when the car right behind him feels the need to squeeze itself between the free spaces between the motorcyclist and the car on the opposite lanes. The car tries to overtake the motorcycle while driving ON the lane markers. What happens next is either the guy on the bike has to swerve to the opposite direction from where the overtaking car is coming from or the guy in the car starts honking like it was a god given right that a motorcycle give way. Presuming both were driving at the appropriate speed, neither was over speeding or driving below the MINIMUM speed limit, people in cars should remember to treat motorcycles as if they were WHOLE cars and not breach on a motorcycle's space. The same way cars are not supposed to infringe on each other's lanes as dictated by lane markers.
On behalf of those in cars, just like we have really bad car drivers, those in motorcycles aren?t all saints. How many times have I had multiple motorcycles trying to squirm through the cracks in dead traffic, sometimes rubbing their metal against my car's paint. Or how about those in high speed traffic, weaving through open holes like Harry Potter after the last golden snitch in Quidditch. What is worse is when they overtake you at high speed, cutting very close, almost hitting your corner front bumper and right after doing the death-defying tactic, turn their nearly smashed head to the side to give you the evil stare. You know that stare. It's the one that tries to make you feel that you were at the wrong with the gleam of a curse word.
What we have here is not a problem of what vehicle is chosen for transport, you can travel in a vehicle with two, four or even eighteen wheels, but the attitudes of the people on or in them. That is where education is key in promoting and indoctrinating people in road safety. Places like the Honda Safety Driving Center (HSDC) comes to mind, a good initiative recently launched this past March 2007, the 2.3 hectare lot in East Service Road, Paranaque contains a training track for teaching road safety for motorcyclists and those in regular automobiles as well. The track aims to mimic real world situations which contain pedestrian, motorcycle and automobile interaction to best simulate to the learner how to negotiate safely through the urban jungle in their vehicle. For those in the provinces with very little to no paved roads at all, the safety course includes a dirt track for motorcycle riders to learn how to manage their motorbikes on muddy paths.
As you can see motorbikes aren't going away anytime soon. We might as well learn to live together by learning how each traveler experiences their vehicle.
I'll leave you with some tips on cohabitation on the road for people on motorcycles and automobiles.
People usually fall into complacency of just having to avoid cars; this is the Philippines so expect both kinds of vehicles to be on the road, that way, you will always be on the lookout for the occasional biker that may not be totally seen in your rear view and side mirrors. Side mirrors have blind spots and bikers don't take up as much space as cars, you might not see them, so anticipate them instead.
People on bikes usually steer with "pawis-steering". It takes more energy for them to steer. They use their hands for both braking and accelerating. They have to balance on two-wheels. Bike wheels are usually very narrow on the average bike you see on the road. What does this mean? Potholes won't just inconvenience them; it could make them fly off their vehicle. Expect them to take evasive maneuvers if you see a pothole ahead of them. Environment affects the way a car handles on the road. Mud, sand or water can affect they way a car drives, but it is critical for the motorcyclist who must also maintain balance while moving.
Imagine a biker as a whole car when you see them on the road. Give them their space; don't try to squeeze your car in their lane to overtake and don't try to share a lane with them. Those on bikes need the space to maneuver properly, especially in the event of an emergency (remember that bikers sometimes have to use their body weight to turn).
4. For those on bikes, stay visible!
We both know its hard enough to see bikes, they are small and disappear even more when in a motorist's blind spot, so if you are on a bike, try positioning yourselves away from a vehicles blind spot. When behind large vehicles like vans or trucks, do not stick to close to them because they cannot see you when you are close to their rear and they might just back up on you. If riding at night, wear light colored clothes or safety gear specifically designed for you to glow at night to increase your visibility.
Bikers are hard to spot in traffic and when making a turn at an intersection, not seeing one could lead to a biker getting bumped off their ride while taking the turn. Be sure when approaching an intersection that nothing is blocking you from being seen, especially if you are on a small bike. If not sure, slow down, look both ways, then cross.
Don't accelerate when a car or motorbike tries to enter your lane. It is not only rude, it is dangerous. Whether in a car or on a bike, give way at an intersection, simple courtesies go a long way in making traffic bearable and safe.
We motoring journalists, much like any other journalists, are an inquisitive bunch. Any random statement, vague phrase or curiously worded sentence can be taken to mean something else entirely.
A well-maintained road is one that is properly painted, well-lighted, free of potholes, and clean and clear of debris and litter.

Town Nottingham, Sneinton
Named after Queen Adelaide (1792-1849) who was the widow of King William IV. She was the daughter of the Grand Duke of Saxe-Meininghen. They had two children, whom both died as infants. Before becoming King, William spent many years at sea, commanding ships and later became the Admiral of the Fleet. Before succeeding to the throne, he had a mistress in Dorothea Jordan, or otherwise known as Dorothy Bland, who was a popular actress of the day. They settled down together and had 10 children. When William's allowance was low, which was frequent as it was a meagre one, Dorothy would put on her grease-paint and take to the stage, once again, to raise cash. After 20 years, William realised that he was no longer in love with her and paid Mrs. Jordan a pension in order to release himself for a marriage of wealth. The seeking of this marriage took 7 years and Mrs. Jordan died of a broken heart in those years. William eventually found Princess Adelaide, she brought no dowry, only a promise that she would look after his illegitimate children. Princess Adelaide was reputed to have been a good hearted and kind woman. William Became King at the death of his older brother, George IV. He reigned for 7 years, and at his death the crown passed to his niece, Princess Victoria.

Series kicks off Kellogg grant work
Published 8:13 pm Wednesday, September 20, 2017
By Alaina Denean Deshazo
The Black Belt Community Foundation and the Selma Center for Nonviolence, Truth and Reconciliation are teaming up to put the recent $3 million grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to use by bringing people together to talk and work out their differences.
Selma was one of 13 cities and one state that received grants earlier this year from the foundation to support Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation (TRHT) work in Selma.
Starting Sept. 21 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., the group will begin meeting at The Coffee Shoppe on Broad Street to have community discussions about various topics surrounding blog posts.
The first blog post, written by Jackson, discusses the Battle of Selma, Civil War and slavery; civil rights; and the election of the first black mayor in the city and more.
"Since these are such sensitive topics, I thought it was [best] to start a conversation, but [also] have a situation where people can come together to discuss and build relationships," said Ainka Jackson, executive director for the Selma Center for Nonviolence.
The "Chat and Chew" series will continue every first and third Thursday of each month. The blogs can be found at http://blackbeltfound.org/cause/trht-selma/ and will also be provided at the meeting.
"Anybody can come," Jackson said. "Whether you read the blog or not, whether you totally disagree with me or totally agree with me and everything in between, we welcome all to come."

Ingersoll Place Communication
As you may already be aware, Governor Cuomo announced earlier this month that nursing homes and adult care facilities throughout New York State would be required to have their employees tested twice weekly for COVID-19.
In compliance with that mandate, testing at Ingersoll Place began this week with test kits and related personal protective equipment acquired through the Schenectady County Office of Emergency Management. Nasal swab specimen collection is being performed by Kim Towne, RN, interim staff nurse. To date, no new cases have been reported as a result of testing. It is not yet known how long the testing requirement will be enforced and there are no similar mandates from state or county departments of health for the ongoing testing of residents. It should be noted that all staff and residents have temperature checks at least once daily and are monitored closely for changes in health status.
One of the most frequently asked questions by residents, their families and staff is, "When will visits with family and friends be allowed to resume?" The same question is being raised in healthcare forums and political arenas across the country. Although everyone agrees that residents and their loved ones need to be reunited, there is no set timeline as to when it will happen and what the "new normal" will be.
At the present time, there have been no changes to the statewide ban on visitation which went into effect March 13, whether indoors or out-of-doors. The management team at Ingersoll Place continues to stay abreast of COVID-19 regulations and participates in conference calls, webinars and discussions with representatives from Schenectady County Public Health, New York State Department of Health and statewide healthcare associations.
Restrictions on group activities also remain unchanged. To keep residents engaged and help lessen their feelings of loneliness, the Activities Department staff, specifically Christina Benardo, Director and Cindy Persaud, Lead Assistant, offer a diverse array of activities for residents throughout day. Room visits, hallway exercise sessions, outdoor time in the patio and garden areas, mobile library and traveling food carts on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday are just some of the offerings. Window visits and video chats with families are regularly scheduled by Amber Zoller, Lead Concierge/Front Desk, and are greatly appreciated by the residents and their loved ones.
In celebration of Ingersoll's 96th anniversary, today's activities included a "cart party" with a special prayer from Fr. Bob Longobucco (see below), photo display, party favors and of course, cake. When asked what activities they most looked forward to when group activities are allowed to resume, "ice cream socials, group Rosary and Christina's guided meditation sessions" were among their favorites.
For those who may be history enthusiasts or just curious about Ingersoll Place when it first opened its doors in May, 1924, the original facility was known as the Ingersoll Memorial Home for Aged Men. It was founded through a trust fund established by George Ingersoll and named in memory of his parents Hiram and Eva Ingersoll. The trustees of his estate purchased the property once known as Locust Grove at the corner of State Street and Balltown Road and the "old Standford mansion" which housed Ingersoll's residents for the next 84 years. In 2008, Ingersoll Place opened at its present location on Consaul Road, adjacent to the Reist Wildlife Preserve.
Please continue to direct non-urgent questions and concerns to Ceil Mack, 518-370-4419, ext. 303.

What is the sense you are getting about the elections in the state?
Some members of her own party have levelled allegations of corruption against her.
I think she is the first Rajasthan chief minister who has directly been accused of corruption. And there were more accusations from her own party members, including several ministers, than from the Congress. If you speak to some BJP leaders in private, they talk more about this than us. Even former BJP chief minister Bhairon Singh Shekhawat had announced a couple of months ago he would start a movement against corruption. If he says all this just before elections and add that corruption has increased a lot, whom do you think he is pointing towards? He said all this deliberately for the public to know how corrupt this government is.
Is the infighting within the BJP going to hurt the party?
Because of internal fighting, there has been no proper governance...not even one power project was started (in the past five years). The two that were completed were the ones started in my tenure (as chief minister). The government had to buy power worth Rs3,000 crore, according to official estimates, because the state didn't get any power projects on time. All other schemes such as the Prime Minister's Rozgar Yojana, the Mid-day Meal Scheme, National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) are Central government schemes. The state government should tell us what they have done on their own.
The Congress, in Rajasthan, is often accused of not playing the role of an opposition effectively.
I would say the Congress culture is not like theirs (BJP's) that includes stone-throwing, inciting violence, blocking roads and so on. The Congress, both inside and outside the assembly, talks with a certain dignity...they are the kinds who hit below the belt. So, I do admit that in terms of playing opposition, this difference does exist.
Is it true that the active presence of Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati's BSP in Rajasthan this time is going to eat into theCongress' vote share?
No. In Uttar Pradesh, people decided that they had to remove Mulayam Singh Yadav (Samajwadi Party chief) and there is no point in (supporting) the Congress and the BJP since that would only mean wasting the vote. So Mayawati, who herself had not expected it, came to power. In Rajasthan also, people realize that there is no point in wasting votes (for the BSP).
Do you think issues such as terrorism, inflation and economic slowdown matter in the elections here?
No. Only local issues are important in the state elections.
It is said that the implementation of NREGA, the United Progressive Alliance government's flagship scheme, as well as the Right To Information (RTI) Act, was very effective in Rajasthan. Shouldn't some credit for this go to the state government as well?
Ours (the Congress under Gehlot was in power in the state from 1998 to 2003) was the first government in the country to have started this (RTI) Act. We respected the movement started by activist Aruna Roy and passed this Act. As for the good implementation of NREGA here, it is an illusion. Every state has a different culture. Different states will be ahead in different things. We look at it from the point that famines and droughts are a regular occurrence here, and the infrastructure we created to deal with them and how well we handled a bad famine when we were in power, are well known.
What role will the youth play in this election?
Wherever (Congress general secretary) Rahul Gandhi goes, young people are excited. This spontaneous response is a good sign.
Do you believe the Congress' policy of not projecting a chief ministerial candidate before the elections will harm its prospects?
This question is meaningless. In my view, no political party has the right to declare its chief minister before the elections... I am amazed that everybody, from intellectuals to journalists, asks this question.
It is often said that government employees were unhappy with you when you were in power and that is one lobby that would vote against you even now. Is it true?
Not any longer. Now they are against them (Raje government) because the government didn't implement the Sixth Pay Commission completely.
How would you compare the BJP government under Bhairon Singh Shekhawat and the one under Vasundhara Raje?
I have been a critic of both of them. However, despite being a critic of Bhaironji, we were on cordial terms. Can you see her with folded hands? (Gehlot asks pointing to a BJP hoarding that showed Raje with folded hands). In reality, she is not like this. Bhairon Singhji, however, is like this...she (Raje) has called Shekhawat a purana khandahar (ancient ruin).
But the party high command in Delhi must be happy with her to have given her so much importance.
The (BJP) high command is not happy, it is helpless. They had internal fights for five years and the high command never intervened. (former BJP chief minister of Madhya Pradesh) Uma Bharti can be removed because she is from a backward community. But since she (Raje) is a queen, she has been given a free hand... nobody from the BJP in Delhi came here when people were killed in firing or when floods occurred. (Congress president) Sonia Gandhi, on the other hand, came here.
How did this government handle the Gujjar agitation demanding scheduled tribes status?
When the trouble started, she didn't immediately hold dialogues with the leaders of the community.
There are elections in six states right this year-end. Do you think the results would give us an idea of the national mood and what is to come in the Lok Sabha elections due next year?

With real estate prices cooling, if you're contemplating selling your house over the next 12-18 months, consider ways to make your property stand out from the crowd.
One option worth considering is building a granny flat.
Granny flats used to be exclusively for a grandparent to live in. However, these days they can be repurposed for all kinds of practical uses.
It's increasingly common for children to continue living with their parents well into adulthood. Studying at university or saving a deposit for a home takes many years. Living with mum and dad is often the only option. Recent census data shows that over 43% of those aged 20-24, and 17% of those aged 25-29, still live with their parents – and these figures have been rising consistently. A granny flat can be a great solution ensuring everyone has the space they need.
Home-based businesses are also growing in popularity. According to a report by the ATO, nearly 1 million Australians now run a business from home, and that figure is growing strongly. Running a business from home offers flexibility and convenience. However, it also has downsides. The lack of dedicated office space, nowhere appropriate to meet clients, or regular disruptions from others, can all make working from home challenging. A granny flat offers the home entrepreneur the ideal space to run their business.
With changes such as these to the way Australians live and work, a granny flat can make your property a highly desirable home for a broad range of potential buyers.
And even if you're not considering selling your home, a granny flat can be a great source of rental income. With an average construction cost of $120,000, granny flats can earn average rental income of almost $300 per week, even more in some areas. That represents a yield of 13% – a very nice earner!
Surprisingly, getting approval to build a granny flat can be relatively quick and easy. In 2009, the NSW Government introduced the Affordable Housing State Environment Planning Policy. This policy allows all resident home-owners with a property over 450m2 to build a 60m2 granny flat.
As long as your granny flat meets all the policy's rules, no Development Application needs to be lodged. Local Council approvals can be granted within just 10 days. However, if your property is heritage listed, or the proposed granny flat doesn't quite meet all the policy's rules, then the Local Council may require you to lodge a Development Application, resulting in longer approval times.
So, what should you consider if you want to add value to your property by building a granny flat?
You should always use a builder that understands the unique requirements of granny flats. This can avoid any deviation from the Government policy, which would result in Council delays.
The new structure should offer both its residents, and the residents of the main house, sufficient privacy, with its own direct access. Ideally, it should have some outdoor space, such as a patio, to enhance its rental appeal.
Furthermore, the style of granny flat should complement the main house, so that it adds maximum value to your property.
Before embarking on this strategy, you should seek expert advice and consider any tax implications for making part of your property a revenue source. You should also consider access to finance for a granny flat, as some lenders are reluctant to loan funds for their construction.
Despite this, the number of granny flats soared by 260% in NSW in the first five years following the 2009 changes to the rules.

I love, love, love summer, but one thing I don't like about the summer is when it gets to hot out that you can barely move. That's when I stay in the house and kick on the AC or I do something even better that saves a little cash and that is make a drink to quench my thirst!! I love summertime drinks! You can pick from Southern style drinks like sweet tea, to California drinks which consist of anything healthy blended together or you can go with simple all American classic Lemonade! However, if you're looking for a summer quencher that has a little more umph in it, say a shot of rum or tequila? I understand that too! That is why I have put together for you my favorite summer time drinks to quench your thirst! Plus I picked up a few from my favorite bloggers at Foodie.com.
Well my Friends that is it today! Hope you're enjoying the outside and when you get thirsty try one of my skinny drinks!
I'm in love with this list – I want to drink my way through it right now! Pinning!


Better by Marand CEO, Tomaž Gornik, will be speaking tomorrow at the Development and Management of Patient Registries Data event in Athens, hosted by the Hellenic Ministry of Health.
Hellenic Ministry of Health is hosting the Development and Management of Patient Registries Data event which will take part on Friday 11 January in the National School of Public Health in Athens, Greece. The main topics at the event will be health registry systems, real-world evidence and decision-making in health, and the current situation with patient registries in Greece.
In the Amphitheatre hall at 12.15 local time, Gornik, who is also Co-chair of the openEHR Foundation, will give a presentation entitled Clinical Data Modelling and Governance, Best Practices from Norway, Slovenia and the UK. He will speak about the openEHR concept, vendor-independent data, separation of content and technology, and open domain-driven platforms for developing flexible e-health systems.
The use cases to be presented include the 100.000 genomes project in the UK, the 100 % EHR adoption in the Norwegian public hospital system, and the Slovenian interoperability backbone – the national infrastructure for exchanging and storing clinical documents and structured health data.
The openEHR approach is based on open standards and aims to transform health and social care by separating applications from clinical data. Such approach, which enables shared care records, is also known as the postmodern EHR. It has been recognised by Gartner Group in a recent research note, stating that truly effective and sustainable open architectures would need capacity for vendor-neutral data persistence, such as utilising a common scheme or set of archetypes and rules for managing structured and unstructured data.

Brief: Design a cover and spreads for a non-commercial magazine exploring unconventional travel destinations.
Solution: For the cover, instead of choosing a photograph or creating an illustration to allude to a physical location, I focused on the concept of the magazine and created a collage using unconventional shapes and pairings of colors.
The design for the inside spread was inspired by the actual article, which featured Oak Ridge as the city where the development of the atomic bomb took place during WWII. Rather than glorifying the science that went behind this project, I thought about highlighting the destruction that these atomic bomb had brought upon Japan.
Initially, I ripped holes in the photographs to reference atomic craters. Then, I simplified this concept with large typography spread across the page.

Beyonce Refuses To Be Kim Kardashian's Bridesmaid: Declines Wedding Invitation Says Kardashians Too Tacky
BY Siyana Riley on January 9, 2014 | Comments: 8 comments
Related : Beyonce, Celebrity Weddings, Kim Kardashian
Has Beyonce turned down Kim Kardashian's invitation to be one of her bridesmaids at her wedding to Kanye West? Man, that would be hilarious. We know Beyonce's not the biggest fan of Kim, and the only reason she's put up with her for so long has been because of her friendship with Kanye. But imagine how she's feeling now that Kanye went and proposed to Kim, and now she's stuck with her for at least a couple more years.
Anyway, a source tells Star, "Kim has been boasting to pals that Bey wants to be a bridesmaid, but Beyonce turned her down flat. Bey doesn't want anything to do with the Kardashian clan. From sex tapes to crack addicts, they're too controversial. Beyonce doesn't even take Kim's calls, so she was shocked when she got a voicemail begging her to be a bridesmaid. This is a woman who doesn't care how close a friend you are, all she cares about are big names."
Damn, Star isn't holding back on their shade, are they? Also, Kim has already reached out to Gossip Cop to claim that she hasn't gotten 'that far in wedding preparation' yet. Um, so what? Whether the story's true right now doesn't matter, it will come true eventually. You know Kim won't be able to resist from asking Beyonce to be a bridesmaid, and you know there's no way Beyonce's touching that, even with a ten-foot pole. Kim will have to find some other 'big names' for her bridesmaid list, although I'd expect to see a few of her sisters on there.
What do you guys think of this story? Do you find it hilarious that Kim would even entertain the thought of Beyonce being one of her bridesmaids? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

BATON ROUGE - Hours after heavy rainfall, streets...
Aimless intruder wanders into high profile Maryland air force base, goes undetected for hours
1 year 10 months 2 weeks ago Friday, March 12 2021 Mar 12, 2021 March 12, 2021 9:08 AM March 12, 2021 in News
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a highly unusual breach of security last month at the air base that operates the Air Force One presidential aircraft, an apparently aimless intruder went undetected for several hours and walked on and off an airplane on the flight line before his quirky headgear gave him away.
He was wearing what an Air Force investigative report released Thursday described as "a bright red or pink cap that partially covered his ears and had distinctive balls on top that looked a little like mouse ears."
An airman in the operations office at Joint Base Andrews, located in Maryland just outside Washington, saw the man on the flight line and became suspicious, partly because of the headgear, and called security. Officials said he never got close to Air Force One.
"To be frank, I'm just being honest, we had no idea we had an unauthorized civilian on the base. He could have roamed around for a lot longer had it not been for that particular airman that figured out he doesn't quite fit," said Sami Said, the Air Force inspector general who briefed reporters on his findings.
The Feb. 4 intrusion was reported the same day by the Air Force, which opened an internal investigation to determine how it happened and what could be done to minimize chances of a repeat. The probe found three main security failings, starting with "human error" by a gate security guard who allowed the man to drive onto the base even though he had no credentials that authorized his access. Hours later, the man walked undetected onto the flight line by slipping through a fence designed to restrict entry. And, finally, he walked onto and off a parked airplane without being challenged, even though he was not wearing a required badge authorizing access to the restricted area.
The day of the incident, the officials said the intruder was turned over to local law enforcement because there was at least one outstanding warrant for his arrest. His name has not been released. The inspector general's report said he had "an extensive arrest record," but further details were blacked out.
"Security forces actually never saw him transition from the open gate to the aircraft," said Said, the inspector general. Aside from his odd hat, the intruder's clothing — dark pants and jacket and black high-top sneakers — could have made him appear to be a contractor, Said said, although he should have been challenged anyway, not least because he had no visible badge authorizing his presence.
"The good news is, once alerted, security forces apprehended him pretty darned quickly — the minute he came off the plane," he said.
Said said the modified Boeing 747 that serves as Air Force One for presidential travel was never at risk and that it is kept behind more layers of protection at Andrews. "That area is exceptionally secure," he said.
Unimpeded, the unarmed intruder got aboard a C-40, a transport jet primarily used by members of the Cabinet, Congress and military combatant commanders. He did no harm and the Air Force investigation report, which was heavily censored by the Air Force before it was released Thursday, concluded that he had no plan to cause harm to Air Force personnel or equipment. His purpose could not be definitively determined.
"The evidence supports the conclusion that (blank) was simply wandering around the base and did not enter the base to meet anyone," the report said. "During questioning, (blank) said he came on base because he wanted to see airplanes."
After driving through the Virginia Gate at Andrews, the man drove to the base exchange, where surveillance camera footage later showed he spent about an hour before returning to his car. His whereabouts for the next four hours could not be determined. Personnel at the 89th Air Wing passenger terminal recalled him entering the terminal, and he then slipped unnoticed onto the flight line through an 18-inch gap in a security fence gate that was not fully closed because of a "malfunction."
He walked onto the C-40 aircraft, which was open to facilitate a communications training session. Two aircrew members were aboard. The intruder walked to the back of the plane and left unchallenged after a few minutes. As he walked back toward the security gate on the flight line he was stopped and arrested.
Said said that to his knowledge Andrews had never before experienced such a lapse in security.

Current status of HIV infection and ocular disease
Nicholas J. Butler, Jennifer E. Thorne
Purpose of Review: In the present era of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), the challenges that HIV/AIDS patients face with regard to ocular complications has changed immensely; nonetheless, significant ocular morbidity persists. We present an update on these challenges, focusing particularly on the relevant literature from the past 12-18 months. Recent Findings: Although its incidence has decreased substantially in the HAART era, cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis remains an important cause of ocular morbidity and predictor of mortality. Presently, patients with less than 50 CD4 T-cells/μL have an approximately equal risk of developing this potentially blinding ocular complication compared with the pre-HAART era. Less is understood about the current epidemiological considerations of ocular syphilis and HIV; however, patients with HIV may have increased likelihood of posterior syphilitic uveitis. Regarding the neuroretinal disorder associated with HIV, new ophthalmic imaging modalities are helping to uncover potentially associated structural alterations. Summary: Future challenges in the fight against HIV/AIDS-related eye disease will involve identifying additional factors conferring increased risk of CMV retinitis, understanding the scope of ocular syphilis and other eye infections in HIV patients, and furthering our understanding of the structural changes in neuroretinal disorder as an indicator of other end-organ damage.

Tribeca to Honor Justin Bieber, Edward Burns and Others with Disruptive Innovation Awards
Austin Dale
The Tribeca Film Festival, in association with Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen, and Disruptor Foundation have announced the honorees for the third annual Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Awards, which highlight successful disruptive innovation in non-traditional, identity-based domains such as culture, education, healthcare, philanthropy, politics, religion and social entrepreneurship. Among the honorees? Justin Bieber.
Also being honored: Twitter and Square founder Jack Dorsey and Room to Read founder John Wood, who will each receive lifetime achievement awards; Book of the Year honoree Daniel Kahneman ("Thinking, Fast and Slow"); and record producer Rick Rubin.
Below find the full list of honorees with bios provided by Tribeca:
Lifetime Achievement Award – Jack Dorsey, Co-Founder and Chairman, Twitter & Co-Founder, CEO, Square – Originally from St. Louis, Dorsey had an early fascination with mass-transit and how cities function, which led him to Manhattan and programming real-time messaging systems for couriers, taxis, and emergency vehicles. Through this work, Dorsey witnessed thousands of workers in the field constantly updating where they were and what they were doing; Twitter is a constrained simplification designed for general usage and extended by the millions of people who make it their own every day. As part of Dorsey's continued devotion to simplifying the complex and making technology accessible to everyone, everywhere, he co-founded Square in 2009. Square enables anyone to accept credit card payments on their mobile device and has empowered more than 1 million individuals and merchants in the U.S. to start and grow a business.
Lifetime Achievement Award – John Wood, Founder and Board Co-Chair, Room to Read – Wood's organization focuses on improving literacy and gender equality in education in the developing world. Since 2000, they have established over 13,500 libraries, 1,600 schools and distributed over 10 million books, impacting over 6 million children in the developing world.

Justin Bieber, Global Superstar, and Scooter Braun, Music Manager and Entrepreneur – In the first major discovery of an artist on YouTube, videos posted by Bieber and seen by Braun on YouTube led to an unprecedented success story that disrupted the traditional gatekeepers of the music industry. Bieber has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide to date and has amassed more than 2.7 billion video views on YouTube, plus more than 41 million Facebook fans and more than 18 million Twitter followers. The Bieber phenomenon shows that emerging talent can now be sourced online, flattening the hierarchical structure and the barriers to entry.
Ed Burns, Writer, Director, Actor, Newlyweds – When a feature film can be shot on a micro-budget of $9,000 with no fixed sets, in live environments and on a small HD camera, watch out. Burns' Newlyweds is a case in point. Shot in the neighborhood of Tribeca, it was the Closing Night film at the 2011 TFF and was later acquired and released by distribution label Tribeca Film. Newlyweds shows how disruptive innovation for independent filmmakers has arrived and is challenging the economics of the more traditional business model.
Kevin Carroll, MS, CP, FAAOP, Vice President of Prosthetics for Hanger Clinic & Dan Strzempka, CPO, Area Practice Manager for Hanger Clinic – Carroll and Strzempka worked with engineers to develop WintersGel™, a unique prosthetic liner that serves as the critical interface between delicate skin and prosthetic devices.

The life-size prototype uses flapping wings for propulsion and control. Carrying a video camera and downlink, it has a wingspan of 16 cm (9.5 in) and weighs just 19 grams (0.66 oz). It can hover for 8 minutes, remaining stable in gusts up to 5 mph, and reach up to 11 mph in forward flight.
Cheetah, developed by DARPA's M3 (Maximum Mobility and Manipulation) program, Dr. Gill Pratt, Program Manager and Boston Dynamics, Dr. Marc Raibert, Project Manager— Robots hold great promise for improving both the safety and productivity of human beings. But, compared to humans present day robots have poor mobility.The goal of the Cheetah prototype, which recently broke the speed record for legged robots, is to develop and test technologies that will enable future robots to assist humans in missions (e.g. scouting, search and rescue) where the robot must travel across rough terrain at high speed with high energentic efficiency.
Jason Kottke, Designer & Blogger, Kottke.org – A pioneering blogger since 1998, Kottke used crowd funding to keep his blog running and has created one of the most influential voices on the Internet through consistent yet eclectic curation.

Today—20 years later—WITNESS has partnered with more than 300 human rights groups in over 80 countries, trained over 3,000 human rights defenders and citizen activists, and supported the inclusion of video in over 100 campaigns, increasing their visibility and impact globally. With grassroots partners, it changes laws, reverses policies, holds perpetrators accountable, and improves the lives of the vulnerable and oppressed among us. WITNESS engages millions of ordinary citizens in the struggles for human rights taking place every day all over the world.
Book of the Year– Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahnehman. Princeton University's Kahneman is a renowned psychologist who won the Nobel Prize for Economics. Our understanding of the world is formed by two modalities of thought: System 1 is the fast, intuitive, emotional, unconscious processing of data and information for decision making; System 2 is rational, deep thought, reflective and studied. Making good decisions consistently—micro or macro—cannot rely on solely on System 1 or System 2. Most people are prone to either System 1 or System 2 with different biases, strengths and weaknesses; understanding this insight will help shape the conversation how to merge these two styles into one brain and get the best of both worlds.
