After applying through Clearing, Chris Underdown enrolled on a BA (Hons) Music and Sonic Media (now Sound Design) degree at LSBU, where he was inspired to start his own music recommendation app business.
Chris was working on fine art sound and music installations when he realised that his real interests lay in sound production. "I wanted to specialise in sound. LSBU's course description was more geared towards sound design and experimental sound, and I felt that it prepared you more for production in the industry," he explains.
While in his second year at LSBU, Chris started developing his music discovery app, Choosic. The app provides users with personalised music recommendations and intuitively builds individualised playlists.
"The idea for Choosic started after I did a research project on digital music distribution at LSBU. There are plenty of places to listen to music and stream music from, but now we have a problem discovering new music. We need something to refine and filter music choices," explains Chris.
"I did market research and the idea came from the question, 'how can I solve this problem?' We surveyed nearly 350 students and found that 80% said they wished there was a better way to discover music, so we saw an opportunity."
"I didn't know about the Student Enterprise team at LSBU, but if I'd known it would've inspired me even more to choose LSBU. I think that the Clarence Centre for Enterprise and Innovation is the best thing about the University," Chris comments.
Chris developed his business on Student Enterprise's Entrepreneurship in Action scheme (now called Spark), which provides funding, office space and advice to student entrepreneurs while they study. He also competed in the LSBU business plan competition and came runner up.
"I got a lot of support on the business side of things. I come from a creative and ideas background, so my business expertise was vague," he says.
My business knowledge has been propelled so far from all the advice I've gotten from LSBU.
Chris is currently taking his business to the next level on a six month LSBU entrepreneurial programme, where students and graduates receive intensive support through mentoring and workshops delivered by investors, business experts and successful entrepreneurs.
The Choosic team is currently gathering more data on music trends and learning to better understand their users, which are currently tallied at approximately 26,000.
"We want to build a large user base and further develop our product. We aim to be a top discovery tool for the end user and an A&R tool for the music industry," Chris says.


At least three people have been killed and 51 injured, including children, after a tour bus carrying Ukrainian citizens overturned in southeastern Poland.
The incident took place near the village of Leszczawa Dolna, 300km south of Warsaw, on Saturday morning, local emergency services said on Facebook, adding that the bus was registered in Ukraine.
When rescuers arrived at the scene, they found several people still trapped in the bus, while some passengers were unconscious. The injuries of at least 37 people are serious.
Rescuers said the majority of people were sleeping at the time of the incident, but those who were awake said the driver was going too fast.

Sooo much wisdom (and a fair bit of humor!) in last week's conversation on the blog in response to my question about what (if any) curve ball/s your body suddenly sent your way when you turned 40ish?
I clearly remember the first one I felt, about three years ago when I was sitting at my desk at work. I'm not someone who sweats easily, even during really tough workouts on really warm days, but that sudden sensation of warmth followed by a rapid heartbeat and a tingling sensation all over was followed by a drenching sweat.
I've since heard hot flashes humorously referred to as "personal summer moments," and I also love the image of our bodies showering us with warmth—although I admit to loving it more in the winter than in the sticky Michigan summer and the middle of the night.
It was shortly after this that I came across Dr. Christiane Northrup's The Wisdom of Menopause, in which she talks about hot flashes as moments in our own personal crucible: we are melting down our old selves, removing the dross of everything we've taken on from others-how we "should" do things, what we "need" to do to be "good" daughters, sisters, lovers, wives, mothers, employees, etc.-and what remains is…ourselves.
There are physiological reasons for "vasomotor flushing," and there are, of course, many ways—both from the conventional and alternative healthcare fields—to reduce the symptoms.
I worked with my integrative primary care physician to find a combination of herbs that helped reduce some of the discomfort, but I think that having a more positive mindset about them and really getting curious about them was what really helped the most.
As a health coach, I'm all about seeking out and addressing the cause of dis-ease/discomfort rather than masking symptoms, and I know that poking at the emotional and spiritual causes can sometimes be as useful (if not more so) in resolving our symptoms as throwing overly aggressive procedures and prescriptions at them.
In a society in which we are frequently forward-focused, always thinking about what we need to do next and feeling like we are barely going to be able to handle that next step (especially not if we're going to now have to deal with this or that which has suddenly complicated our existence), we don't often look backward-not only to see how our mothers and foremothers navigated their lives, but even to our own immediate past.
On the Facebook pages that support women our age, there are plenty of posts about hot flashes and oh-my-god-how-can-I-get-rid-of-them?
Yes, and: if we start tracking the hot flashes, they often pop up after certain triggers, and these triggers are as individual as what foods—primary and secondary—really nourish us.
Added/refined sugar: Give me that chocolate pudding and five minutes.
Wine: Whattt? Are you serious-wine, too???
Intense workouts: I mean AFTER the cooldown.
Mental/emotional stress: The school phone number popping up on caller ID mid-day….
What to do with all these newfound bits of information? Well, I guess forewarned is forearmed: at least now I can make an informed decision.
I still drink coffee in the morning, I've seriously cut down on sugar (more on that in the upcoming weeks), I limit my wine to 1 glass on weekend nights for the most part, I've traded HIIT and jogging in for yoga and walking, and I've learned a whole bunch of breathing and mindfulness exercises.
And when those power surges do hit, I breathe and try to view them as a reminder that I have enough energy to power my own personal sauna, and just as soon as this personal summer moment passes, I'm going to put that energy to good use.
This week, I'd love to hear what funny euphemisms you've come across for hot flashes and / or what has been your experience with them? If you're not there yet, are you dreading them or sorta looking forward to them?

Score 68 - On the Brink: Utz hits home-run multi-year deal with MLB under new CMO
Snack food leader company has released white cheddar cheeseballs known as "baseballs" in a sponsorship that will extend across TV, digital, digital, and retail channels and will include a full assortment of integrated-branding snack products. "As a nearly 100-year-old, family owned company, Utz is proud to be affiliated with an institution as great as MLB. We both place a great deal of emphasis on quality, family, excellence and tradition, and look forward to finding ways to bring Utz fans and MLB fans closer together," said Tom Flocco, president and COO of Utz.
While Utz hasn't allocated any budget towards TV advertising in the past, that will change with this partnership. Pathmatics reports a year-to-date (YTD) spend of $2,700, with 99% of ads placed direct and through OwnerIQ on sites such as democratandchronicle.com, vanityfair.com, hollywoodlife.com, and proprofs.com. The company didn't spend anything on digital advertising last year, with a total spend of $2,000 in 2016.
Since Utz is trying to reach a broader community of consumers, reach out soon for other potential sponsorship opportunities.
Creative and PR work, along with media buying and planning, have been led by Allebach since 2013, well over average agency tenure (2.5-3 years). This sponsorship could likely be the result of having hired Steve White as CMO in March. White previously served in various executive roles at companies such as Cisse Cocoa, WM Barr, CPG Consultants, and Pepperidge Farm. Reach out sooner than later to get on White's radar; he's at the ideal outreach point.

You are here: Home › Blue Jays looking east for new Triple-A farm team?
Blue Jays looking east for new Triple-A farm team?
By Kevin Reichard on July 12, 2012 in Features, Minor-League Baseball
It's the time of year when MLB teams are reevaluating their MiLB affiliates, and the Toronto Blue Jays will probably explore a deal with the Buffalo Bisons (Class AAA; International League) — which could ultimately profit both teams.
The Bisons are currently affiliated with the New York Mets, an arrangement wholeheartedly embraced by the Bisons front office — to the point where the Mets' colors were adopted in the Bisons color scheme. But it's iffy as to whether the relationship has impacted the Bisons' bottom line, with attendance dropping from 8,219 in 2010 to 6,659 so far this season.
Enter the Toronto Blue Jays, which can offer both proximity and the potential of fans crossing the border to see the team's prospects. The Blue Jays are currently affiliated with the Las Vegas 51s (Class AAA; Pacific Coast League), which makes for some proximity challenges in shuffling players around. It's not the best situation for either team: the Blue Jays don't make for much of a marketing advantage for the 51s, and the distance makes things harder for the Blue Jays.
John Lott of the National Post lays out the rationale for the Bisons switching affiliation from the Mets to the Blue Jays. Of course, technically, neither team can discuss an affiliation change or even hint at one while the current affiliation deal is in place. Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos has put a newed emphasis on rebuilding the team's farm system, and some bright starts are making their way up the affiliate level. The Blue Jays probably would be happy to throw in an exhibition game or two to sweeten any deal with the Bisons. At the end of the day, MiLB owners make affiliate decisions based on either how well a parent treats them or how an affiliation can raise their bottom line. For Buffalo, it looks like both factors could be at play here.
Here's a look at the current affiliate status.

Epidemiology More than 80 million people in the United States suffer annually from serious pain, leading to disability, suffering, drug addiction, depression, and suicide [ 1 ]. Although diagnostic tools such as MRI and endoscopic techniques have become more sophisticated, there are a signifi cant number of patients who have been told that "it is all in your head," "you just want pain medication," "there is nothing on the MRI," or "the surgery looks perfect, so I don't know why you are hurting." Pain management clinics have been viewed as the place of last resort – "if all else fails, send them to pain management." As such, the patient arrives on our doorstep, traumatized by ineffective surgeries, hyperalgesic because of high-dose opioids, depressed because of the multiple failed treatments, and hostile because once more they have to tell their story, only to watch the physician shrug and say "I don't know." Pain is a problem throughout the entire medical fi eld. In fact, the most common reason that patients present in the emergency department (ED) is pain. Todd et al. [ 2 ] noted that the median pain scores of patients on arrival in the ED were 8/10 on a number rating scale (NRS), and only half of them had a decrease in their pain by 2 or more points while there. Upon discharge from the ED, 45 % of patients reported an NRS of 4–7/10, and 29 % still had a pain score of 8–10/10. A recent examination of the UK General Practice Research Database (which contains 1.8 million patient years of data), looking for new peripheral nerve entrapments, reported that they are relatively common [ 3 ] (Table 1.1 ). In another recent survey [ 4 ], 30 of 998 patients (3 %) referred to a gastroenterologist were diagnosed as having chronic abdominal wall pain (CAWP), presumably caused by myofascial spasm or peripheral nerve entrapment (see ACNES syndrome – Chap. 42). Post - traumatic neuropathy is nerve pain that has been triggered after an injury or as a consequence of medical interventions such as surgery, injections, or radiotherapy. A recent evaluation of more than 2,500 soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan revealed that 44 % had chronic pain, with 48.3 % of them having been in pain for more than a year. More than half (55.6 %) of the soldiers with chronic pain described it as constant; it was moderate to severe in 51.2 % [ 5 ]. Acute postoperative pain can develop into chronic postsurgical pain ( CPSP ), which affects daily life in 10–50 % of patients after surgery; this pain can be severe in 2–10 % of them [ 6 ]. A prospective study of approximately 5,000 surgical patients identifi ed acute neuropathic pain in 1–3 %; 56 % of these had persistent chronic pain 1 year later [ 7 ]. The incidence varies widely with the kind of surgical procedure [ 8 ]. Simanski et al. confi rmed these fi ndings: more than 500 of 911 (57 %) patients had pain scores of greater than 3/10 for a mean of 29 months after orthopedic, abdominal, and/or vascular surgery. Almost 15 % of these patients reported severe pain [ 9 ]. Pain after inguinal hernia repair has been reported to range from 0 % to 60 %. A 2007 systematic review of pain after mesh hernia repair showed that 11 % of patients had persistent groin pain. More than a quarter of them had severe pain, and more than a third had limitations of daily activities [ 10 ]. Postherniorrhaphy pain is likely due to ilioinguinal (Chap. 40) and/or genitofemoral (Chap. 41) nerve injury. Similar A. M.

One third still had incisional pain, and nearly 10 % described pain that interfered with their lives. Over half of the patients with moderate to severe pain (17 of 32) were found to have peripheral nerve entrapments [ 11 ]. Saphenous vein harvesting is performed in up to 27 % of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In a survey of more than 1,000 CABG patients, 130 had chronic chest pain, 100 had leg pain, and 194 reported both. Although leg pain after vein harvest is usually described as mild, in about a third of the patients with pain, the prevalence of moderate to severe pain at a mean of 28 months after CABG was about 40 % [ 12 ]. Hicks and Simpson state that about 10–15 % of patients with cancer - related pain could benefi t from peripheral nerve blocks (see Palliative Care – Chap. 12) [ 13 ]. We propose that many of these pain conditions are the result of peripheral nerve entrapments.
• The anatomic area affected (e.g., metatarsalgia) • The anatomic tunnel (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome, tarsal tunnel syndrome) • The motion that causes the compression (e.g., hyperabduction syndrome) • The names of the describing authors (e.g., Kiloh-Nevin's syndrome) Some people are susceptible to a particular entrapment neuropathy from congenital narrowing of a tunnel or thickening of an overlying fascial structure, while others with a systemic disorder such as diabetes mellitus (DM) show entrapment signs and symptoms much more frequently than nondiabetics [ 18 – 20 ]. Nerve injuries can result in clinical symptoms extending from mild discomfort to numbness, paralysis, or incapacitating pain. These changes parallel the histologic changes that occur in the implicated nerve (Fig. 1.1 ) [ 21 ]. In order to provide a common language for clinicians and researchers, some generally accepted classifi cations have evolved [ 16 , 22 , 23 ] (Table 1.2 ). Most peripheral nerve entrapments result in Grade 1 or Grade 2 injury. The most common mechanism of nerve injury is mechanical, but thermal or chemical injury may also occur (Table 1.3 ). Mechanical injury may involve compressing, overstretching, or partially or totally cutting a nerve. Compression usually occurs at a site of direction change in a relatively noncompliant corridor, such as a fi bro-osseous tunnel or fascial opening. Infl ammation or edema of adjacent structures (e.g., tendons) can reduce the size of the passageway. Graded experimental compression results in profound short- and long-term effects on in vivo blood fl ow. Mild compression (20–30 mmHg) decreases venous fl ow; moderate compression decreases capillary and arterial fl ow; and pressures of 60–80 mmHg cause frank ischemia [ 24 ]. These pressures correspond to those measured clinically in the tarsal tunnel [ 25 ], carpal tunnel [ 26 ], and cubital tunnel [ 27 ]. Axonal transport is blocked by pressures of 50 mmHg [ 28 ], and nerve impulse conduction is blocked after less than an hour of compression of 70 mmHg in a peripheral nerve [ 29 ]. Other animal models of compression neuropathy surround a large nerve with a Silastic tube and evaluate histology and nerve conduction [ 21 , 30 ]. Histologically, prolonged compression leads to neural edema, which, in the absence of relief, can progress to epineurial fi brosis and scarring, further thickening the nerve and worsening the entrapment. Damage to the myelin sheath and axonal disruption are end stages of chronic compression, resulting in irreversible damage [ 21 ] (Fig. 1.2 ). Upton and McComas observed that 81/115 (70 %) patients with carpal or cubital tunnel syndrome also had electrophysiological evidence of a nerve injury in the neck [ 31 ]. They named the phenomenon the " double crush Table 1.1 Incidence of peripheral nerve entrapments in UK primary syndrome " (DCS), where the presence of a more proximal lesion renders the distal nerve trunk particularly vulnerable to compression, with a degree of pain and dysfunction greater than that expected from either entrapment alone. They postulated that this was due to the effect of compression on anterograde axoplasmic fl ow, as later confi rmed by other investigators [ 28 , 32 ]. However, other mechanisms, and indeed whether this phenomenon actually exists, are also under discussion [ 33 ]. Lundborg's observation that patients with symptoms of ulnar compression in the wrist subsequently developed compressive symptoms of the same nerve at the elbow led to the concept of "reverse DCS," thought to be due to disturbed retrograde axoplasmic fl ow [ 34 ]. DCS has been observed at several common locations, clinically [ 21 , 35 , 36 ], upon electrodiagnostic investigation [ 37 ] (Table 1.4 ), and experimentally [ 32 ]. The surgical outcome of carpal tunnel release is poorer in those patients, suggesting that both entrapments likely require treatment for optimal results [ 21 ].

T he history given by the patient, in the patient's own words, is key to making the diagnosis of a peripheral nerve entrapment. Multiple patients use the same words to describe their pain perception ("My testicles are in a vise"). There are reproducible, recognizable patterns of pain that provide clues to the cause of the pain. Unfortunately, many patients with nerve entrapments present with poorly localized or widespread pain. By the time the patient has reached a pain specialist, the pain may have spread beyond its original site "like a forest fi re raging out of control," so a careful history of the mechanism of injury, the initial site of pain, and the initial referral pattern are key clues to the etiology of a painful nerve entrapment. The history of trauma can vary from mild to severe and, at the time of presentation, can be acute, subacute, or chronic. This trauma may have occurred as a result of surgery or fracture, or it may have originally been regarded as "trivial." There may have been abnormal limb positioning, repetitive activity, or recent change in body habitus [ 1] . The patient often describes the pain as burning, shooting, or lancinating, and there may be associated numbness or tingling. There may also be a history of "clumsiness" and inadvertent injuries [ 1] . Symptoms are often worse at night, especially when the limb is in the same position for a prolonged period of time.
• W here does it hurt? (Attempting to localize the initial site of the injury, as well as patterns of pain radiation) • Where and when did it start to hurt? • What makes it worse? What makes it better? (It is important to ask these questions in this order, since patients will often respond "nothing" to "what makes it better?" if asked that question fi rst.) • Are there associated weakness or sensory disturbances? • Are there any changes in the appearance or function of the limb? • Is there a history of recent or old trauma?
derness along the distribution of a peripheral nerve both proximal and distal to the site of entrapment [ 5 ]. This focused physical exam becomes even more important when the pain has spread "all over"; having the patient point to where the pain "fi rst started," combined with the pattern of pain ("pattern recognition"), can give important clues as to the etiology. Sensory testing of the affected area may help clarify the diagnosis, when paired with a good working knowledge of cutaneous innervation patterns and their common variations. Nerve entrapment may cause referred pain in the innervated area; it is also commonly accompanied by decreased sensation. Sensation should be assessed to both light touch and temperature or pinprick; patients will often be aware of areas with decreased sensation to touch but may be surprised to fi nd areas without temperature or pinprick sensation. Mechanical sensitivity can be assessed by a series of graded sizes of plastic fi laments called von Frey fi bers (Fig. 2.3 ). Assessment of two-point discrimination is particularly helpful in areas that normally have very good discrimination, such as the hands [ 6 ]. If the patient is asked to close their eyes, this approach can also help identify fabricated or embellished symptoms. In those nerves with combined motor and sensory function, motor impairment may also be elicited as a sign. Knowledge of the common entrapment sites, the pattern of pain, and the specifi c examination can allow the provider to focus on the likely site of the entrapment, which is key for accurate injection therapy, which then confi rms the diagnosis and delivers therapeutic medication to the likely site of the nerve entrapment.
P eripheral nerve entrapments can cause a variety of painful conditions as diverse as headache, backache, "sciatica," "endometriosis," and foot pain. Peripheral nerve entrapments can occur at sites where the nerve goes through a tunnel or canal, or pierces through fascia, or makes a sharp change in the direction of its path. Infl ammation, edema, or extrinsic compression will trigger entrapment; the sympathetic response to this entrapment leads to more infl ammation and edema, leading to more entrapment, creating a vicious cycle. In nerves with a sensory component, chronic injury often causes increased excitability of the nerve. This can result in both hyperalgesia and allodynia in the peripheral nerve fi eld supplied by that nerve or the whole sensory dermatome, as is the case with injury to a spinal nerve root. Nerve entrapments may be present in varying degrees, leading to a variety of clinical presentations. The pain will often have a burning, shooting, or lancinating quality. Although initially the pain may be intermittent, the pain will usually become constant and more intense with time. If postsurgical, the pain can occur immediately after surgery, or it may start weeks or even years after the surgery, because of the scar cicatrix that gradually tightens around the nerve. Pain is usually aggravated by activity, menstruation (due to perineural edema, hormone-induced increased neurotransmitters, and dorsal horn transmission cell sensitivity), or compression. Clinical diagnosis is dependent upon a high index of suspicion and physical exam, but peripheral nerve blocks that provide complete relief, albeit temporary, are the sine qua non for establishing this diagnosis [ 1] .
Peripheral nerve entrapment can cause a wide number of clinical presentations, many of which are misdiagnosed (and therefore less likely to respond to treatment). Recognition (and appropriate treatment) of the peripheral nerve entrapment can increase the potential for successful treatment.

Wimbledon start to pre-season didn't go as planned with the Dons undone by 'three and easy' Margate in a 3-0 defeat.
Former Dons Brett Johnson and Luke Moore came back to haunt us, as did former boss Terry Brown, as they both scored against their former club with no fewer than four former Wimbledon players on show as our former boss masterminded a three-nil win.
Positively the Dons improved in the second half with all the summer signings, Mark Phillips aside, featuring with Bayo Akinfenwa, Jack Smith and Sean Rigg all starting.
Trialist Matthew Parsons was also given his chance in central defence.
Brown, along with Stuart Cash, are in charge of Margate these days and included Johnson, Moore, Lewis Taylor and Jason Prior from the start, another former Don in Jamie Stuart came on in the second half.
Sam Rents left Ross Worner stranded with his 'cross' to put Margate ahead just before half time with Harry Pell's error ceased upon by Johnson to extend this lead in injury-time.
Of the 10 changes made by Neal Ardley at half time summer signings Adebayo Azeez, Dannie Bulman, James Shea and Matt Tubbs were among them.
Moore soon made it three-nil though.
If this was tough them Chelsea next Saturday is likely to be even tougher, not that results count for much as this point in time do they, thankfully!


Most readers are undoubtedly familiar with the development of radio-frequency identification (rfid) technology that, under certain applications, is forecast to be connected to future human-enhancement technologies, especially neurosciences, brain-machine interfacing, and cybernetics.
This rfid tech employs tiny integrated circuits for storing and processing information using an antenna for receiving and transmitting the related data. This technology is most commonly applied as a "tag" for tracking inventory with radio waves at companies like Walmart, where consumer goods are embedded with "smart tags" that are read by handheld scanners for supply-chain management.
In recent years, rfid technology has been expanding within public and private firms as a method for verifying and tracking people as well. We first became aware of this trend a while back when a chief of police—Jack Schmidig of Bergen County, New Jersey, a member of the police force for more than thirty years—received a VeriChip (rfid chip) implant as part of Applied Digital Solution's strategy of enlisting key regional leaders to accelerate adoption of its product.
Kevin H. McLaughlin (chief executive officer of VeriChip Corp. at the time) said of the event that "high-profile regional leaders are accepting the VeriChip, representing an excellent example of our approach to gaining adoption of the technology" (note that VeriChip Corp. was renamed to PositiveID Corp. on November 10, 2009, through the merger of VeriChip Corp. and Steel Vault Corp.). Through a new and aggressive indoctrination program called "Thought and Opinion Leaders to Play Key Role in Adoption of VeriChip," the company set out to create exponential adoption of its FDA-cleared, human-implantable rfid tag.
According to information released by the company, the implantable transceiver "sends and receives data and can be continuously tracked by GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) technology." The transceiver's power supply and actuation system are unlike anything ever created. When implanted within a body, the device is powered electromechanically through the movement of muscles and can be activated either by the "wearer" or by the monitoring facility. In the wake of the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, DC, an information technology report highlighted the company's additional plans to study implantable chips as a method of tracking terrorists. "We've changed our thinking since September 11 ," a company spokesman said. "Now there's more of a need to monitor evil activities" ("Will You Grin for the rifd Mark of the Beast?" Before It's News, October 26, 2010).
As a result, PositiveID has been offering the company's current incarnation of implantable rfid as "a tamper-proof means of identification for enhanced e-business security¼tracking, locating lost or missing individuals, tracking the location of valuable property [this includes humans], and monitoring the medical conditions of at-risk patients." While PositiveID offers testimony that safeguards have been implemented to ensure privacy in connection with its implantable microchips, some believe privacy is the last thing internal radio transmitters will protect—that, in fact, the plan to microchip humanity smacks of the biblical Mark of the Beast. Has an end-times spirit indeed been pushing for adoption of this technology this generation?
All buying and selling in the program will be done by computer. No currency, no change, no checks. In the program, people would receive a number that had been assigned them tattooed in their wrist or forehead. The number is put on by laser beam and cannot be felt. The number in the body is not seen with the naked eye and is as permanent as your fingerprints. All items of consumer goods will be marked with a computer mark. The computer outlet in the store which picks up the number on the items at the checkstand will also pick up the number in the person's body and automatically total the price and deduct the amount from the person's "Special Drawing Rights" account.
• The following year, the 1974 article, "The Specter of Eugenics," had Charles Frankel documenting Nobel Prize-winner Linus Pauling's suggestions that a mark be tattooed on the foot or forehead of every young person. Pauling envisioned a mark denoting genotype.
• In 1980, US News and World Report revealed that the federal government was plotting "National Identity Cards" without which no one could work or conduct business.
• The Denver Post Sun followed up in 1981, claiming that chip implants would replace the identification cards. The June 21, 1981, story read in part, "The chip is placed in a needle which is affixed to a simple syringe containing an anti-bacterial solution. The needle is capped and ready to forever identify something—or somebody" ("Will You Grin for the RFID Mark of the Beast?").
• Then, in 1997, applications for patents of subcutaneous implant devices for "a person or an animal" were filed.
• In August 1998, the BBC covered the first-known human microchip implantation.
• Millions of Today Show viewers then watched in 2002 when an American family got "chipped" with Applied Digital Solution's VeriChip live from a doctor's office in Boca Raton, Florida.
• In November of the same year, IBM's patent application for "identification and tracking of persons using rfid-tagged items" was recorded.
• Three years later, former secretary of the Health and Human Services department, Tommy Thompson, forged a lucrative partnership with VeriChip Corp. and began encouraging Americans "to get chipped" so that their medical records would be "inside them" in case of emergencies.
• The state of Wisconsin—where Thompson was governor before coming to Washington—promptly drew a line in the sand, passing a law prohibiting employers from mandating that their employees get "chipped." Other states since have passed or are considering similar legislation. Despite this, in the last decade, an expanding number of companies and government agencies has started requiring the use of rfid for people identification. Unity Infraprojects, for example, one of the largest civil contractors in India, tracks its employees with rfid, as does the US Department of Homeland Security for workers involved in baggage handling at airports.
• Since September 11, 2001, the US government has proposed several versions of a national ID card that would use rfid technology.
• Since 2007, the US government began requiring all passports to include rfid chips that enable use of biometric features such as facial recognition.
Hundreds of Alzheimer's patients have been injected with implantable versions of rfid tags in recent years.
• Rfid bracelets are now being placed on newborns at a growing list of hospitals.
• Students are being required in some schools and universities to use biometric ID employing rfid for electronic monitoring.
• Thousands of celebrities and government officials around the world have had rfid radio chips implanted in them so that they can be identified—either for entry at secure sites or for identification if they are kidnapped or killed.
• Others, like Professor Kevin Warwick (a British scientist and professor of cybernetics at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom), have been microchipped for purposes of controlling keypads and external devices with the wave of a hand.
• Besides providing internal storage for individual-specific information like health records, banking and industry envisions a cashless society in the near future where all buying and selling could transpire using a version of the subdermal chips and wireless authentication. As mentioned above, in 1973, Senior Scholastics magazine introduced school-age children to the concept of buying and selling using numbers inserted in their foreheads. More recently, Time magazine, in its feature story, "The Big Bank Theory and What It Says about the Future of Money," recognized that this type of banking and currency exchange would not require a laser tattoo. Rather, the writer said, "Your daughter can store the money any way she wants—on her laptop, on a debit card, even (in the not-too-distant future) on a chip implanted under her skin" (Joshua Ramo, "The Big Bank Theory," Time, April 27, 1998).
• In 2007, PositiveID, which owns the Food and Drug Administration-approved VeriChip that electronically transmits patients' health information whenever a scanner is passed over the body, ominously launched "Xmark" as its corporate identity for implantable healthcare products.
• Skip forward to the present, and suddenly the push for a national biometric identification system and rfid technology is all over the news and within industry trade reports. The Next Generation Biometric Market—Global Forecast & Analysis 2012–2017 noted that the global biometric identification market was surging toward the nearly $14 billion mark by 2017, with an estimated compound annual growth rate of 18.7 percent.
• In February 2013, a report for the Competitive Enterprise Institute authored by David Bier ("The New National Identification System Is Coming") documented how US lawmakers including Senator John McCain and Senator Lindsay Graham were advocating for a "super" identification system that would include biometrics.
• Three months later, in May, the Massachusetts-based engineering firm MC10 disclosed that it is developing a high-tech, biostamp, electronic "tattoo" that will replace all passwords. It is made of silicon and is sealed on the wearer's body. As this book heads to the editor, MC10 hopes to have its first prototypes "affixed" to humans with the next few months.
• Simultaneously, Motorola Senior Vice President Regina Dugan announced that a project similar to MC10's is now under development at the multinational telecommunications company. Called "The Proteus Digital Pill," the project contains a computer chip and transmits an 18-bit, ECG-like signal that can communicate with mobile devices as well as serve as a biometric ID. The ingestible "pill" has already been approved for human use and tracking by the FDA in the United States as well as in Europe. Note that "Proteus" is a shape-shifter and primordial pagan god of ancient sages (seers) that can affect the "conscious" and is capable of mutating the host.
One marketing problem Motorola may not have anticipated is the reaction of biblical literalists to its…authentication systems.
A surprising number of people in the US still adhere to an apparent literal translation of the current version of…the finale of the New Testament: The Book of Revelation—or, for you believers of the Catholic persuasion, The Apocalypse.
Be reassured that the majority of people of faith in the US and elsewhere aren't quite so inflexible. Those that aren't may be shrill, particularly in the US, but do not form a representative sample of Christianity.
• By June, 2013, the Congress of the United States pushed forward on related mandates, demanding progress on advanced biometric smart cards for federal identification under the Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-12). The DHS wants these personal verification IDs immediately and for its employees to carry digitalized finger (and/or palm) and facial recognition images (head and hand) to serve as the trendsetter for all levels of government and private industry identification. These cards will employ barcodes, rfid tags, and onboard data processors that can transmit information and location to remote sites.
• Later the same month, the use of biometrics (hand and/or head-iris scanning) as a payment option for goods and services was documented as the method of choice for buying and selling among 50 percent of consumers, with that percentage trending upward (see Revelation 13:17).
• One month later, in July, a special report conducted by Natural Security (a UK-based authority in user-authentication) described nine hundred consumers who had participated in a pilot program in which they used fingerprint-based technology when purchasing products and services. Of that number, 94 percent of them were excited about the scheme, agreeing they are now ready to use biometrics and rfid technology for all buying and selling.
• By August of 2013, a new report from the National Institute of Standards and Technology confirmed the long-term viability of iris recognition as stable for biometric identification and that no distinguishing texture or degradation of the iris occurs for at least ten years, if not decades.
• A whole host of personal products began flooding the market at the same time, including jewelry, headgear, and glasses that boast GPS and rfid tracking capabilities, with promises of future payment integration for buying and selling via biometric signatures. One example is the new "Nymi Bracelet" that is worn around the wrist. It monitors the heartbeat as a biometric signature, claims to be more accurate than facial recognition, and is said to be about as accurate as fingerprint scanning.
• Also at the time Beast Tech was heading to the printer, nineteen US states have complied with the "Real ID Act," an act of Congress that modifies US federal laws pertaining to authentication standards for driver's licenses and identification cards with the goal of codifying a national—then international—biometric ID system.
• Concurrently making its way through Congress as part of an immigration reform bill is a provision to mandate universal biometric identification in the form of a national ID, without which nobody will be federally approved for employment (or, as it says in the book of Revelation 13:17, "that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…"). It is called "E-Verify" and incredibly not only has bipartisan support among lawmakers but enthusiastic approval from notable Christian leaders (funded by George Soros, no less).
• Leith Anderson, President, National Association of Evangelicals • Stephan Bauman, President and CEO, World Relief • Jim Daly, President, Focus on the Family • Noel Castellanos, CEO, Christian Community Development Association • Luis Cortes, President, Esperanza • Dr. Richard Land, President, Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention • Samuel Rodriguez, President, National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference • Dr. Carl Ruby, Vice President for Student Life, Cedarville University • Gabriel Salguero, President, National Latino Evangelical Coalition • Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman, Liberty Counsel • Jim Wallis, President and CEO, Sojourners • The Catholic Church, which, in September 2013, announced a massive, coordinated effort to get the immigration reform bill passed by targeting sixty Catholic House Republicans and one hundred and thirty members of the House who are also Catholic • In chorus, other evangelical pastors nationwide broadcast radio ads in fifty-six congressional districts in fourteen states at a cost of $400,000 in support of the plan.
A [mandatory] national identification system via microchip implants could be achieved in two stages: Upon introduction as a voluntary system, the microchip implantation will appear to be palatable. After there is a familiarity with the procedure and a knowledge of its benefits, implantation would be mandatory.
After all, the government has never forced anyone to have a [driver's] license, [but] try getting along without one, when everyone from your local banker to the car rental man to the hotel operator to the grocery store requires one in order for you to take advantage of their services, that amounts to a de facto mandate. If the government can force you to surrender your fingerprints to get a driver's license, why can't it force you to get a computer chip implant?
As newer versions of rfid-like transmitters become even more sophisticated—adding other "prophetic" components such as merging human biological matter with transistors to create living, implantable machines—the authors of Beast Tech have determined the possibility that the Mark of the Beast is set to arrive through a version of smart-chip technology is beyond doubt.
For those who may question whether investigators Tom Horn and Terry Cook are overstating these facts, below are video clips to watch (with trepidation), especially the first one with former Director of DARPA (the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and current executives at Google discussing this very technology (smart tattoos and injestable biochips) on national TV as THE system that will soon provide authentication / personal identification for humans worldwide.
The mark IS coming, and we all need to get educated on the facts as soon as possible in order to be a source of information to our loved ones, a light in the darkness while there is still time.
Audience applauds as Regina E. Dugan -- former Director of DARPA and current executive at Google -- describes with excitement the coming BEAST TECH smart tattoos and ingestible biochips that are ALREADY FDA APPROVED and that people will want to receive (and then be REQUIRED to receive) by 2017. She glows about the "super powers" the PROTEUS MARK (Proteus was a Shape-Shifter in Greek Mythology) will give her and says today's generation are going to want them too. Unfortunately, she is right.

Smith Coat of Arms, Family Crest and Smith Family History
Smith Family History
The Smith ancient family history was found in the irishsurnames.com archives. Smith is an occupational name meaning 'Blacksmith'. Variants of this name include Smithe, Smyth and Smythe. This name was common to every village in Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales, as it was a popular tradition to use the name of the occupation of blacksmiths and armorers. In Scotland it was recorded that a Robert Smith witnessed a charter by John Bishop of Dunkeld in the year 1199 and in England a Phillip le Smithe, County Huntingdonshire, was recorded in the 'Hundred Rolls' in the year 1273. A Willemus Smyght was recorded in the 'Poll Tax', of the West Riding of Yorkshire, in the year 1379. The Irish surnames McGowan and McGuane are hidden under the synonym Smith, in Irish 'Mac an Ghabhain', meaning 'son of smith'. They were one of the principal septs of Breffney, their territory being County Leitrim and the North-West Counties of Donegal and Sligo.The Smith family crest (or coat of arms) came into existence many centuries ago. The process of creating these coats of arms began as early as the eleventh century although a form of Proto-Heraldry may have existed in some countries prior to this, including Ireland. The new more formalized art of Heraldry made it possible for families and even individual family members to have their very own family crest, coat of arms, including Smith descendants.

Хургада () је град у Египту у гувернорату Црвено море. Према процени из 2008. у граду је живело 189.660 становника. Налази се обали Црвеног мора. Хургада је најзначајније летовалиште Египта.

Град је основан почетком 20. века, а на значају је добио осамдесетих година тог века, након изградње првог хотела у граду - Хилтон.

На ободу града налази се Међународни аеродром Хургада, који представља долазну тачку за највећи број туриста.

Град је основан почетком 20. века, а до тада је био мало рибарско село. Од 1980. године континуирано је проширен, од стране египатских и страних инвеститора, са циљем да постане водеће приморско летовалиште на Црвеном мору. Одмаралишта и хотели пружају водену забаву за сурфере, једрење, рониоце и сличне спортисте.

Хургада је позната по својим спортовима на води, ноћном животу и топлом времену. Дневна температура достиже округлих  током већег дела године, током јула и августа температуре достижу преко . Многи Европљани посећују Хургаду за време летњег одмора, а неки такође иду током зимске сезоне и тамо проводе своје божићне и новогодишње празнике.

Посете руских туриста драматично су опале након авионске несреће Метројет 9268 у новембру 2015. године.

Географија
Хургада се простире на око  дуж морске обале, недалеко од пустиње. Хургада је дестинација за египатске туристе из Каира, Делте и Горњег Египта, као и за туристе из Европе. Данас Хургада броји 248.000 становника и подељена је на:
 Ел Ахиа и Ел Хелал, у северном делу;
 Ел Дахар (стари град) је стари део;
 Секала је центар града;
 Ел Кавсар је модерни део;
 Ел Мемша (Село пут) је пешачки пут који се протеже преко 4 km.

На путу Ел Мемше можете да пронађете многе нове хотеле, ресторане и продавнице. Већина најновијих и највећих хотелских одмаралишта смештена је између Мамше у Сахл Хашееш (сеоског пута). После Сахл Хашееша налази се Макади Баи са својим хотелима. Дахар је најстарији део града, где је градска пијаца, пошта и аутобуска станица.

Град се служи међународним аеродромом Хургада са редновним путничким саобраћајем који је повезује са Каиром и са неколико градова у Европи. Нови терминал отворен је у 2015. години због пораста саобраћаја.

Историја
Село, који је касније прерасло у оно што је сада Хургада, било је насељено 1905. године, а своје име је добило од биљке која ту природно расте још од давнина. До тада је то било само рибарско село. Уље је откривено на подручју овог места 1913. године, али је производња и извоз почела тек 1921. под британским нафтним магнатима. За време владавине краља Фарука рекреативни центар је изграђен у граду, али након национализације египатских индустрија, за време власти председника Насера, предат је оружаним снагама.

Током Рата исцрпљивања између Израела и Египта, острво Шадван источно од града, било је утврђено и окупирано египатским војницима, који су га користили као радарску постају. У Хургади се извршила операција Родос 22. јануара 1970. године.

Током Октобарског рата 1973. године, лука Хургаде је била циљ за четири израелске операције. Дана 27. септембра 1994. године, из возила у покрету, убијена су два Египћана и један немачки туриста; још један немачки човек је рањен у нападу и преминуо је од задобијених повреда након повратка у Немачку. Хургада је 2016. године доживела терористички напад (Хургада напад 2016) инспирисан ИС, у коме је троје туриста рањено.

Дана 14. јула 2017. године, у Хургада нападу 2017, чешки терориста је објавио да жели да убије само не-Египћане. У овом нападу нападнуто је и избодено пет немачких, један чешки и један јерменски туриста, при чему су све биле жене, а убијене су две немачке жене. Чешки туриста је касније преминуо 27. јула у болници. Напад се догодио у два одвојена хотела.

Туризам

Главна индустрија Хургаде је страни и домаћи туризам, захваљујући свим невероватним пејзажима, а током целе године има суву и умерену климу и дуге природне плаже. Море је јасно и мирно током већег дела године и постало је популарно за различите водене спортове, нарочито за рекреативно роњење и сурфовање.

Ронилачке локације око острва Абу Рамада, Фанадир, Гифтун (рајско острво) и Гифтун Сораиа су јако популарне. Туристи такође посећују олупине бродова као што су Ел Мина и Розалиа Молер. Плажа у Хургади није сакривена, око плаже Сигала су околна села, а иза њих је пустиња.

Демографија

Руски становници
Хургада има 4 школе за руску деце, то су: Галаксија (Созвездие), Наша традиција (Наши Традиции), Дина (Дина) и Свет знања (Мир знании - руска школа Хургада); као и новине МК у Египту.

Већи део знакова и натписа у граду, од 2015. године, је на руском. У јуну 2015 МК у Египту, чији је издавач Јулија Шевел, је навео да око 20.000 Руса живи у Хургади, што је највећа руска популација у Египту, али само око 3.000 је званично документовано.  Рускиње које живе у Хургади често се удају за Египћане кроз "урф" (не-Шеријат) религијски ритуал.

Године 2017. руски конзулат је отворен у Хургади.

Клима
Хургада има суптропску-пустињски климу са благо-топлим зимама и веома топлим летима. Температуре у периоду децембар-јануар-фебруар су високе, али у вечерњим сатима температура може пасти од просечних 20 °C до 10 °C. Новембар, март и април су пријани и топли. Мај и октобар су топли, а период од јуна до септембра је веома врућ. Просечна годишња температура је , у распону од  у фебруару и марту, до  у августу.

Највиша температура је забележена 12. јуна 2013. и била је , а најнижа температура је забележена 2. фебруара 1993. и била је .

Одмаралишта близу Хургаде

Сахл Хашееш
У једном од најлепших залива на Црвеном мору у Египту, опасаном пешчаном плажом, дугом 12 km, налази се ексклузивно туристичко насеље Сахл Хашееш, рај за љубитеље роњења и голфа.

Сахл Хашееш, у преводу Зелена долина, налази се на око 20 km јужно од Хургаде, а красе га многобројни луксузни хотели. Специфичан је по томе што има лагуну са најбоље очуваним коралним гребенима, па се може похвалити богатим подводним светом.

Ово симпатично и ексклузивно место позитивно изненађује своје посетиоце, што дугим пешчаним плажама, што несвакидашњим спортовима као што су голф, роњење, китесурфинг.

Ел Косеир
Ел Косеир је један од египатских капија, и један је од најстаријих градова на западној обали Црвеног мора. У прошлости је био познат под различитим именима, као што Таго за време фараона, Леуцос (бели лук на грчком) у хеленистичком периоду, и Портус Албус за време римског периода. У исламском периоду је дато име Ел Косеир, што значи "мала палата или тврђава".

Смештен између Хургаде и Марса Алам Ел Косеир је некада био важна лука. Многи су путовали одатле у Пунт да купе слонове кости, кожу и тамјан. Током отоманског и исламског периода, Египћани и муслимани из Северне Африке су путовали из Ел Кусеира као ходочасници у Меку. То је такође била једина лука за увоз кафе из Јемена. Током француске окупације Египта Ел Косеир је била долазна тачка за Арапе и муслимане из Хегаза који су долазили да се боре поред Мамалица против француске војске.

Најважније месте Ел Косеиар су утврђења и резервоар воде. Резервоар за воду је Ел Косеиру био једини извор воде за пиће пре 100 година.

Ел Косеир ел Адима је још једно важно и добро летовалиште. То је стара римска лука где су пронађене стотине амфора и старих керамичких предмета. Чак се и полицијска станица  налази на историјском месту. Постоји  много пијаца овде, као и кафића, кафана и ресторана који нуде морске специјалитете. Постоји неколико 300 година старих зграда овде: отоманска тврђава и старе џамије Ел Фаран, Ел Кенави и Ел Сеноуси.

Макади бау - Макади залив
То је туристичко место које се налази 30 km јужно од Хургаде и посвећено је само хотелима, продавницама и клубовима. Нема насеља са локалним становништвом. Место има добру пешчану плажу.

Сома бау - Сома залив
"Сома залив" се налази око 15 km северно од Сахаре и око 45 km јужно од Хургаде. Овде се налазе луксузни хотели и у њима шармантни ресторани, лепа плажа, отворени простори за идеалне романтичне шетње, али и бављење многим спортовима. Сома је синоним за мир, тишину и луксуз. Овде се налази професионални голф терен/клуб који је отворен током целе године, како за искусне играче, тако и за почетнике. Још једна особеност места је лепа, дуга и широка пешчана плажа и добро очуван корални гребен. Сома Баy представља идеално место за све оне који желе да побегну из свакодневнице у мир и луксуз.

Залив је дуг око 5 km и широк око 2 km и представља заштићену зону регије Црвеног мора, у којој је очуван подводни свет, па због тога, осим туриста који одседају у ексклузивним хотелима привлачи и велики број заљубљеника у роњење, снорклинг, китесурфинг…

Ел Гоуна

Градић је настао пре око 20 година. У овом случају, човекова машта се поиграла са природом и створила рајски амбијент. "Мала Венеција на Црвеном мору" важи за најлуксузније монденско летовалиште у овом делу света. Удаљена је од Хургаде и аеродрома око 25 km али добро повезана редовном аутобуском линијом. Место је добило име "Венеција" по лепо уређеним морским каналима који су просечени кроз градић и тиме се добио фантастичан амбијент на десетак острва. Овде се налази неколико великих комплекса познатих луксузних хотелских ланаца али и велики број мањих хотела и вила. Ту је и лепо уређен центар за шетњу и куповину Тамр Хена, као и Нова Марина где су усидрене луксузне јахте богатих мештана али и туриста који су ове дошли да уживају у споју модерног и оријенталног. Градић има неколико великих плажа, лагуна, голф терена, акваријум,...

Становништво
Према процени, у граду је 2008. живело 189.660 становника.

After a first test on a track near Zagreb, Cupra's electric touring car, the e-Racer, has undergone further testing at the Castellolí (Barcelona, Spain) track at the hands of development driver Jordi Gené.
The testing in Spain focused on verifying the maximum output of the motors and the driveability, in addition to testing the power management – stopping the batteries from overheating is a particular challenge for electric racing cars.
The goal of these sessions is to maximize the performance and reliability of every component. During the next round of testing in September, the engineers and technicians will focus on reducing the lap times to make it competitive in the upcoming eTCR series in 2020.

Pearl Cruises Closes
Pearl Cruises, which pioneered cruises to the Far East more than a decade ago, will cease operating in September. The 480-passenger Pearl will be renamed the CostaPiaya and will sail under the Costa Cruise Lines banner starting in late fall.
The new Caribbean program, departing Santo Domingo for ports in Cuba and Jamaica, will be exclusively marketed to Europeans by Costa Crociere. The company, which recently marketed the 800-passenger CostaAllegra sailing from Pointe-a Pitre, Guadeloupe on this basis, is selling the larger 1,300-passenger CostaClassica's 1995/96 programs to Europeans.
However, this latest ship withdrawal raises doubts as to whether the Far East can sustain year-round cruising. Orient Lines announced earlier this year that it would position the 800-passenger Marco Polo in Europe from May through October, starting in 1996.
According to Orient's Executive Vice President Deborah Natansohn, "The Far East may not be strong enough for year-round cruising."
Among others who have also cut back their deployment in the Far East is Windstar Cruises, although the line maintains one ship year-round in the Pacific region, and Seven Seas Cruises, which originally focused on the Far East.
The smaller niche lines recently applauded, at least publicly, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line's entry into the Far East. industry executives said that RCCL 's marketing muscle would generate broad interest in cruising in the Far East which would benefit all the operators. Clearly, that has not been the case so far.
However, other lines have maintained a strong seasonal presence in the Far East including Princess Cruises.
According to Jay Silberman, President, Cruise Consultants Company, San Antonio, TX, "Asia is a fantastic cruise market - sophisticated travelers want to go there and it's not a troubled area like the Middle East - but it doesn't work year-round as a cruising region," primarily because of weather conditions. At his agency, however, Silberman has seen an escalation in the number of Far East bookings in recent years.
Unfamiliar Region
Also in question is the readiness of North Americans to travel to an unfamiliar area which is costlier and requires commitment of more vacation time.
Ron Bitting, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Leaders in Travel/Personal Touch Cruise Consultants, Great Neck, NY, concurs. "North Americans look at the higher price tags of Far East cruises, but don't look at the inherent value of such vacations. Additionally, they regard the air segment as too lengthy."
In 1994, the Far East/South Pacific cruise capacity was 128,000 passengers up sharply from 65,000 in 1993. The strong increase was due to two new year round deployments by the Crown Monarch and the Wind Spirit. Both ships were subsequently withdrawn.
The market capacity forecast for 1995, adjusted for the withdrawal of Pearl Cruises, is 99,000 passengers; and the capacity fo recast for 1996, adjusted for the seasonal deployment of Orient Lines and full year operations by RCCL, is 96,000.
However, there are skeptics in the North American-based cruise industry who expect RCCL to cancel its program.
In 1995, ships sailing in the Far East represent approximately two percent of the North American cruise capacity. In the meantime, regional cruising for Far Eastern markets is on the upswing.


ARTIST STATEMENT: [dNASAb]�s most recent body of work has evolved in exciting new directions. These dynamic new works are informed via the intense observation of the living marine reef ecosystem. The artist maintains a full blown reef ecosystem in his studio in which he nurtures and propagates dozens of species of living corals; as well as the subsequent ecosystem needed for them to thrive; fish, invertebrates and bacteria. The artist refers to the reef aquarium as the �studio tank�, and as the name suggests it is a place of research into developing living sculpture. [dNASAb] conducts research utilizing new materials, species integration and optical systems in an effort to re-contextualize the reef environment.
The underwater world has always been a source of inspiration for the artist but it�s this daily interaction with this pristine system that informs the new works in this series. The tank requires extreme measures to maintain suitable water chemistry and a sterile environment for the species to thrive. The most important step in this process is intense observation. Utilizing the same intense observation the artist has turned his discerning eye to the natural environments that are the foundations for a healthy reef. Sadly, the same standard of cleanliness does not exist in real life. What the artist has found and reclaimed on the beaches, in the Ocean�s, and strewn through the mangrove nurseries is horrifyingly inspirational.
