Public Release: 9-Jun-2015
Mentorship a key factor for female authorship in GI
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. - June 9, 2015 - The percentage of U.S. female physician authors of original research in major gastroenterology journals has grown over time, yet the percentage of women in the senior author position remains lower than expected based on the proportion of female gastroenterologists in academia. A look at the evolution of gender in the GI publishing landscape is presented in "Female authorship in major academic gastroenterology journals: a look over 20 years," published in the June issue of GIE: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE).
Researchers looked at authorship of articles at five-year intervals in five major journals from 1992 to 2012: Gastroenterology; Hepatology; American Journal of Gastroenterology; Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology (CGH); and Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (GIE). They compared the percentage of female first (lead) and senior authors with the percentage of gastroenterologists in academic practice who were female. Their total sample included 2,275 original research articles.
Overall, 18 percent of first authors and 10.1 percent of senior authors were women. For first authors, the percentage increased from 9.1 percent in 1992 to 29.3 percent in 2012. (In 1992, women represented approximately 10 percent of academic gastroenterologists. In 2012, that figure had risen to approximately 26 percent.)
With the exception of 1997, the proportion of women authors in the senior position (typically the author whose name appears last in the list of contributors) was significantly lower than expected throughout the 20-year timeline based on the proportion of female academic gastroenterologists at the same time. The proportion of female lead authors kept pace with the increasing percentage of women in the field.
Having a female first author was associated with the gender of the senior author. Of the female senior authors, 37 percent had a female lead author. Of male senior authors, 20.7 percent had a female lead author. The research topic also was associated with gender; for example, the odds of female authorship were greater for liver-related publications, but lower for both pancreaticobiliary and endoscopy journals.
According to the study's lead author, Michelle Long, MD, "Future research should explore potential reasons for the lower rates of female authorship in the senior author position, and whether this relates to individual preferences or more systemic issues."
ASGE immediate past president Colleen Schmitt, MD, FASGE, wrote an accompanying editorial, "Flute or tuba: women and publishing success in top gastroenterology journals." According to Dr. Schmitt, "The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy has stepped out to invest in this idea in a real way, by supporting a cohort of young women and minority faculty with a substantial skills-training program called Leadership Education and Development, or LEAD." She notes that women need strong mentors to help with career management in this area, including funding ideas, requests and reiterations.
Editor's Note: A video interview featuring lead author Michelle Long is available as part of the "GIE Author Interview" series. http://www.giejournal.org/content/video_interviews
About the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
Since its founding in 1941, the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) has been dedicated to advancing patient care and digestive health by promoting excellence and innovation in gastrointestinal endoscopy. ASGE, with more than 13,000 members worldwide, promotes the highest standards for endoscopic training and practice, fosters endoscopic research, recognizes distinguished contributions to endoscopy, and is the foremost resource for endoscopic education.

About Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
Gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures allow the gastroenterologist to visually inspect the upper gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach and duodenum) and the lower bowel (colon and rectum) through an endoscope, a thin, flexible device with a lighted end and a powerful lens system. Endoscopy has been a major advance in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. For example, the use of endoscopes allows the detection of ulcers, cancers, polyps and sites of internal bleeding. Through endoscopy, tissue samples (biopsies) may be obtained, areas of blockage can be opened and active bleeding can be stopped. Polyps in the colon can be removed, which has been shown to prevent colon cancer.

Ravi Shastri blasts at MS Dhoni's critics
By Mannan Khan
Indian wicket-keeper batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni has given many moments of joy to the country. Be it the ICC Test mace, the inaugural edition of the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2013 edition of the ICC Champions Trophy tournament or the 50-over mega-event in 2011, the former captain successful drove home a lot of pride.
However, with age not being on his side, Dhoni's reflexes aren't helping him much. There is a dip in his performance and many fans are now losing their patience as they want to see the Ranchi born bidding farewell to the International cricket.
Seeing all this frustrated the head coach Ravi Shastri who was found spitting fire against the naysayers of MS Dhoni. The 57-year old demanded people to mind their own business and respect someone who has swelled the legacy of the Indian cricket.
"Half the guys commenting on Dhoni can't even tie their shoelaces. Look at what he's achieved for the country. Why are you in hurry to see him off? He's not gonna be around forever. Let it happen when it has to," said by Mumbai born while sharing his frustration.

Connie Brosi
By Editor | July 14, 2015 | 0
Connie Carol Fearington Brosi, 72, of Berea, Kentucky, passed away June 27, 2015, peacefully in her home surrounded by family, following a long battle with cancer.
She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Sylvia Fearington.
She is survived by her husband, George Brosi; seven children, Brook Brosi, Berry Brosi, Blossom Brosi, Sunshine Brosi, Sky Marietta, Glade Brosi and Eagle Brosi; their partners and 13 grandchildren; Caeman Feller, Daisy Brosi, Summer Shaper, Fox Spears, Lily Brosi, Iris Spears, Harlan Marietta, Clay Brosi, Aviva Brosi, Wendell Brosi, Zuria Brosi, Prairie Brosi, and Perry Marietta; and sisters, Judy Flesnner, Jean Fearington and Karen Fearington.
Connie grew up in rural southeastern Illinois where she helped her father and grandfather farm with horses and lived without electricity and indoor plumbing until she was in her teens. She played piano at church, was active in 4-H, and in high school was the recipient of the Betty Crocker Future Homemaker of the Year award. Years later, her children played a trick on her by saying someone from Future Homemakers would be arriving shortly to do a follow-up story. They stuck with the joke, even though it led to a frantic house cleaning session that lasted for hours.
She attended Eastern Illinois University, where, due to a teaching shortage, scholarships were offered to top students who would become teachers. After graduating in 1965, she received her first teaching job in Harlan County, Kentucky at Pine Mountain Settlement School. In 1968, she moved to Nashville and taught first grade in a segregated school, Wharton Elementary. She took night classes and earned a Master's Degree in Elementary Education from Peabody College.
Connie and George were married in 1971. They lived on a subsistence farm in Tennessee, near where she is now buried, before settling in Berea in 1980. Connie was George's partner in his professional endeavors, including his work for social justice organizations, his Appalachian Mountain Books business, and later his work as editor of Appalachian Heritage magazine at Berea College.
She was a hardworking homemaker and mom whose days were filled with cooking from scratch and raising her children. She eschewed materialism, questioned conformity and embraced simple living. She lived her life with little money, and her specialty was making do. She heated her home with wood, dried her laundry in the sun and raised much of her own food. Connie's home featured kids and dogs playing in the yard, roosters crowing and a supper table laden with garden food, homemade rolls and, if you were lucky, her legendary blackberry pie.
As her children grew, her role shifted from mama to mamaw. Connie made dolls for her granddaughters and aprons for her grandsons. She loved to visit with them on facetime. All young people were important to Connie. Through them, her values live on.
On Sunday, June 28, she was buried at the Forever Wild Cemetery near Whitwell with a family ceremony. A memorial service will be held Sunday, July 19 at Pine Mountain Settlement School.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Connie Brosi Memorial Fund at Pine Mountain Settlement School.
Ewton Funeral Home of Dunlap was in charge of arrangements.

Did you know that consuming fish at least twice a week is recommended since it is a good source of omega-3, a nutrient found to be beneficial for the heart.
Fatty fish like salmon, tuna and milkfish is a good source of omega-3.
1. Season fish fillet with salt and pepper and lemon. Marinate for 5 minutes.
2. Heat cooking oil, put the flour on a plate. Dredge both sides of fish fillets in the flour and shake off any excess. Deep- fry seasoned fish until golden Brown and crispy on the outside. Transfer on a paper lined plate to drain excess oil.
3. Serve with creamy Pesto Sauce on the side or drizzle sauce on top of fish before serving. You can also drizzle some cream and chopped basil for garnish.
Serve immediately after preparing to maintain crispiness.

Sophie Michell: "What's on your mantelpiece?"
The Steeple Times asks the chef, author and television personality Sophie Michell: "What's on your mantelpiece?"
The Steeple Times shares "wit and wisdom." What's your guiding force?
"Independence and the life choices that come with it."
"Never regret, never explain, never apologise" is, in our humble opinion, a great motto. What's yours?
As Virginia Woolf once said: "One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well."
Kerry Katona was unacceptable in 2007. Who is unacceptable in 2012?
Samantha Brick: She gave women a bad name by writing so many self-serving articles implying that all women are as shallow and as vacuous as she, and that we as a gender make judgements solely on looks.
Tony Blair misses being Prime Minister. What do you miss most in your life?
Friends and family who I have loved and lost.
What might you swap all your wealth for?
A simple life living by the sea and working in a job that involved the ocean and it's stunning environment and creatures.
What phrase or word do you most loathe?
I hate the abbreviated text language that people use, it makes people sound very moronic
In the UK, some people consider charity to "begin at home." What's your view and what causes do you personally support?
I try and support charities as much as possible within my means and I think we should all do the same. Time is also as worth as much as money in many cases. I generally support Breakthrough Breast Cancer, but I am very keen to get involved in a charity that works for abused women and children. It's a bigger issue than people think, routinely ignored and sadly it's on our doorstep.
Have you ever been arrested and if so, for what?
Hahaha, nope! But that could just mean that I've never been caught… Only joking.
If you could fill a carriage on The Orient Express, who would be your fellow passengers?
Definitely Marie Antoinette as she knew how to party and I love the clothes of that era. Cleopatra was a glamorous and formidable woman so she must come too. I'd also like Gregory Peck as he seemed like a real gentleman and my great grandfather Admiral Godfrey, who was head of Naval Intelligence in World War II. Ian Fleming was his PA and apparently the James Bond books were based on Ian Fleming's time working with him. In fact, the character 'M' was based on my great grandfather and I would just love to hear the stories in person. There are many more people too, but those four would make an interesting start.
Sophie Michell
If you were unfortunate enough to end up on death row, what would be your last meal and where would you eat it?
It would be a classic seafood platter by the sea somewhere possibly on the French Riviera. I suggest this mainly because with all the shells you have to crack open to extract the tasty morsels taking such a long time to get through, it would give me time to plan my escape.
What time is it acceptable to consume the first drink of the day?
Any time after noon if on holiday. Any time after 6pm if at home. Failing those terms, you can always bend the rules by proclaiming loudly that it is always cocktail hour somewhere in the world at any given time. This works for me.
A Negroni, a martini or a cup of tea?
A dirty martini every time.
Whose parties do you enjoy the most and why?
I love private house parties as they are personal and always great fun. I entertain a lot when I can for both work and pleasure. I think it enables one to be quite creative and I love seeing an event come off well. I also love really chilled out beach parties, when everyone is glowing from a day in the sunshine and you can hear the sea.
Who is the most positive person you know?
My darling friend Miss Emma Nettleton. Nothing seems so serious after some dancing and giggles with her.
What's your most guilty pleasure?
Ha ha ha: Guilt is a pointless emotion, so a pleasure should be left at that and basically if you feel guilt creeping in, then just don't do it.
What was the first bone that you broke?
An ankle bone due to my first foray into ridiculously large platform shoes, aged 14. I haven't stopped wearing large heels, but I have since mastered the art.
If a tattoo were to sum you up, what would it be of?
Probably a dolphin. I am happier in the sea than anywhere else. Although for the record I think tattoos are vile.
If you were a car, what marque would you be?
God knows. I don't drive and have never tried. I am not adverse to beautiful cars, but also not attached to them either.
Cilla Black presented "Surprise, Surprise." Tell us the most surprising thing about you.
I am actually quite shy and have faint OCD according to my friends. I think it's otherwise known as being tidy.
What's currently sitting on your mantelpiece?
A French antique mirror, a beautiful fluorite crystal, a Dyptique blackberry leaf candle and a couple of out of date invites that will soon be removed.

The increasing volume of data describing human/ndisease processes and the growing complexity of understanding, managing, and sharing such data presents a huge challenge for clinicians and medical researchers. This paper presents the/n@neurIST system, which provides an infrastructure for biomedical research while aiding clinical care, by bringing together heterogeneous data and complex processing and computing services. Although @neurIST targets the investigation and treatment of cerebral aneurysms, the system's architecture is generic enough that it could be adapted to the treatment of other diseases./nInnovations in @neurIST include confining the patient data pertaining to aneurysms inside a single environment that offers clinicians/nthe tools to analyze and interpret patient data and make use of knowledge-based guidance in planning their treatment. Medical/nresearchers gain access to a critical mass of aneurysm related data due to the system's ability to federate distributed information/nsources. A semantically mediated grid infrastructure ensures that both clinicians and researchers are able to seamlessly access and/nwork on data that is distributed across multiple sites in a secure way in addition to providing computing resources on demand for/nperforming computationally intensive simulations for treatment planning and research.


Well this has been quite the year and I am so deeply grateful for all your support while I lived through the journey of healing my broken leg. Fingers crossed, 2016 will be my year for building even more of my strength back.
"The Year I took Personal Process and Playfulness to Heart"
I think it may help to actually title every year with the thing that transformed you the most. I ask all the students that train through me in Sri Yoga to start journalling - specifically they write "Befores and Afters" of each practice they do. It is great way to keep track of all of their mundane and profound moments that show up on the mat or the cushion. It also's encourages more writing of those profound moments that happen off the mat.
A big "Aha" moment I had this year was when I realized a recurring thought pattern of mine. When I am doing a lot of "Yoga Business" stuff, my mind tells me I am slacking and should be spending more time on my Art and Social stuff or Vice Versa! It goes something like this : "Brenna, why aren't you doing more? You have so much to do! Yoga practice, Yoga biz, artwork, music, being social, ....! There's got to be a better way, a more efficient way to fit it all in?"
And then I'll snap out of it.... And that sounds like this: "Geez Brenna, give yourself a break! Remember what you realized the last time you were feeling this urgency? You remembered what your PROCESS actually looks like. There are ebbs and flows to your waking life. Sometimes you are in super Yoga work Mode and when that eases off you go into super Art/Music Mode, and when that eases off you get to do Social Mode... And ONLY Sometimes, do you have the joy of doing all 3 at the same time.... "
And then I remember to tell myself not only to get off my own back but to laugh at my "You must always be serious and be working" attitude. I Remember that not only do we all have a process to this thing called life but to keep it a playful process!
I don't want to be hard on myself... ever. I want to love and support myself. I want to be tender. I also want to be Playful!
When I am Playful, I am actually keeping myself open to fresh ideas about whatever I need fresh ideas about. When I am being hard and scornful, I am shutting myself off creatively.
Before 2015, I thought feeling urgent was a normal and acceptable place to be. After 2015, I remember there is no need for urgency. I am living my life as I intend and remembering it is all a playful process.
What's your 2015 Before and After?

What are the Treatments for Methadone Addiction?
Methadone is a man-made opioid, that is commonly used to treat addictions to other opioids, such as morphine and heroin. When used properly, methadone works to target the brain and spinal cord, blocking the "high" that is felt when using other opioids. It is also responsible for blocking the painful experiences of withdrawals and cravings.
If taken for long periods of time, methadone can help to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, and has the ability to wean addicts off of the drug they've become dependent on.
While this synthetic drug does not cause the same effects as other natural opioids, it is possible for users to become dependent on methadone if it is not taken properly. Taking doses that are not within the prescribed time or amount can increase the likelihood of a dependency, and methadone addiction is possible.
When an individual becomes addicted to methadone, treatment may be necessary to help them shake their dependency. The following are some of the most common treatments for methadone addiction.
One way that addicts can become clean is by gradually being weaned off of methadone. This requires slowly decreasing the amount of methadone that is received in each dose, until the body no longer requires the substance to function.
This is a common approach for all kinds of drug addiction; individuals should be monitored closely, to ensure they're ingesting the proper dosage each week.
Because methadone is a type of opioid, medical detox might also be one of the necessary treatments for methadone addiction. In this case, the methadone is substituted by another medication such as buprenorphine.
Buprenorphine is a semi-synthetic substance that offers a little more flexibility than methadone. While users of methadone need to visit their clinic daily to obtain their daily dose, users of buprenorphine can regulate their own dosages at home.
Although similar to methadone and other opioids, buprenorphine is thought to have a lower potential for abuse than other substances.
Another substance that may offer treatments for methadone addiction is known as 'L-alpha-acetylmethadol (LAAM). This drug works similarly to methadone and buprenorphine, and is categorized as a schedule II substance. Individuals who must ingest this drug for long periods of time for addiction may notice side effects such as increased blood pressure, abnormal liver function and nausea.
The symptoms associated with withdrawal often have an effect on the emotional and psychological components of a user. With this in mind, some individuals who are using treatments for methadone addiction may have to also be given psychiatric medications to control any anxiety, stress or depression that results.
Typically, the longer a patient is on a detoxifying drug like methadone or buprenorphine, the better their chances are of avoiding withdrawals and relapses. For those who require help with a methadone addiction, it is important that they receive long-term follow up appointments, to ensure that their treatment is working properly.
Not every addiction treatment will work perfectly for every user; often, a combination of different approaches result in the best treatments for methadone addiction. Other options include things like group therapy, 12-step programs and motivational incentives, which are used in combination with tapering and medical detox to give the user the best chance of fighting their addiction.

Amber Heard has given a statement to the LAPD on her domestic abuse allegations against Johnny Depp, her lawyers said.
Heard was granted a restraining order last week against Depp after she alleged that he threw his phone at her, struck her, and pulled her hair during a domestic dispute. The restraining order was granted as part of the divorce proceedings she initiated last week after 15 months of marriage. Heard alleges that Depp physically and psychologically abused her over the course of their relationship. The LAPD confirmed they were called to the scene on the night in question.
While she did not immediately file a statement with the LAPD following the incident, Heard's lawyers announced Tuesday that Depp's team has "forced" her to go to the police by spreading "vicious false and malicious allegations" designed to discredit her.
Depp's ex-wife and daughter have both come to his defense. Heard's lawyers could not be immediately reached for further comment.

L'île de la Tortue (Isla La Tortuga en espagnol) est une île inhabitée faisant partie des Dépendances fédérales du Venezuela.

Géographie
Elle fait partie d'une chaîne d'îles qui incluent les Tortuguillas, les Palaquines, parmi d'autres.

Elle est située dans le sud-est de la mer des Caraïbes, à  de longitude ouest et  de latitude nord, à  de la punta Chiva, dans l'État de Miranda, à  de l'île Margarita et à  de Caracas. La forme de l'île ressemble à une ellipse de 12 km du nord au sud et 25 km d'est en ouest. Sa superficie, y compris les îlots environnants est de , ce qui en fait la seconde plus grande île du Venezuela, après Margarita.

L'île de la Tortue comporte trois îlots à sa partie nord-ouest, séparés de l'île principale par un chenal de plus ou moins 2,5 km de large et de 4 à 5 m de profondeur, ainsi que des zones de barrières coralliennes, plus un îlot situé au nord. L'île possède de belles grandes plages de sable de couleur blanche et d'intéressantes baies. On trouve de nombreuses zones humides à l'intérieur, lequel est en général une plaine qui ne dépasse guère les 20 mètres d'altitude en moyenne, avec un maximum de 46 mètres. La surface présente des affleurements d'intérêt paléontologique, spécialement dans la zone centre-sud, aux abords du Cerro Gato, mais la majeure partie de l'île est couverte d'une chape de calcaire corallien.

Histoire
L'île a été découverte en 1499 par Alonso de Ojeda. Lors de son second voyage, avec Amerigo Vespucci, l'île fut nommée La isla La Tortuga par Amerigo Vespucci du fait de la présence en grand nombre de tortues sur l'île.

Si elle a servi de refuge à quelques pirates au , elle ne doit pas être confondue avec l'île de la Tortue près d'Haiti, qui a été le principal centre de flibuste et de piraterie, célèbre dans la littérature de pirates des Caraîbes.

Le pirate Henry Morgan préparait certaines de ses fameuses incursions sur les côtes du Venezuela sur l'île.

L'île a été peuplée par les Hollandais qui ont exploité probablement les mares d'évaporation de sel à l'est de l'île vers les années 1550. Ils furent définitivement  expulsés en 1631 quand le gouverneur de Cumaná détruisit leurs installations et noya leurs marais salants.

Depuis, l'île n'a pas eu de peuplement permanent tandis que sa position et sa morphologie sont restées intouchées, ce qui fait de l'île l'une des dernières terres vierges du Venezuela.

This week, I had an enjoyable educational and sharing session with a Christian psychiatrist and the "biggies" of U.P. College of Medicine. More and more, medical doctors are integrating spirituality into their practice of medicine and treatment of patients. As far as lasting wellness and healing is concerned, spirituality is a living, breathing presence of Christ in the life of a person. It can be inexplicable. It's potent. And it's healing.

MY COACHING STORY
For a very long time, I had a skewed and often toxic relationship with the concept of what it meant to be healthy, and even now it's still a continual work in progress. But, after years of hating the person I saw in the mirror, inspecting every so-called "flaw", comparing myself to others, belittling my self-worth, engaging in disordered eating behaviors, trying every diet under the sun and exercising on and off in a yo-yo fashion, I can sit here and share that this is the most "whole" I've ever felt.
When I look at food now, I no longer see my self-worth reflected in the choices I make, going to restaurants or events no longer brings on intense anxiety, daily movement is a non-negotiable but not as punishment for eating or an annoying item on my to-do list but rather something I look forward to and savour for both my physical and mental health. When I see myself in the mirror, the ugly thoughts that I used to hurl at myself have shifted to kinder more appreciative sentiments that recognize the progress I've made and will continue to make. I no longer go to sleep thinking about everything I consumed that day balanced with how much I moved or wake up thinking about how I should really be "better" today.
Looking back, my less than desirable relationship with food, exercise and body-image began when I was a teenager but spiralled in an extreme direction when my entire life changed at 24 years old. On a sabbatical (brought on by a burn out) from my second degree at McGill University, I felt lost and unsure of my identity, underweight and very unhappy with who I was. From the outside looking in, you might have thought "Wow, that girl has got everything going for her! A great social circle, impeccable grades at a fantastic university, she volunteers abroad, has multiple jobs, runs regularly, has a loving partner, she's always smiling blah blah blah"... Clearly, for years I had mastered wearing a mask, trying to please everyone around me, being "perfect", living up to unrealistic self-imposed expectations, and not liking myself.
Then came an unexpected surprise, the opportunity to embark on a cross-country reality show that would propel me into the Canadian media industry and land me a coveted job as a VJ at the iconic MuchMusic. During what was supposed to be a restorative and health-focused sabbatical, a life-changing opportunity presented itself and I dove right in. That time period was an extremely pivotal year; not only did I reach a fork in the road for my career, but also for my health. At my unhealthiest, I became even less healthy. After winning the reality show and moving my life from Montreal to Toronto, I made a promise to myself to commit to being the healthiest version of myself and launched a health & wellness website, Healthy Is Hot (HIH).
Since then, I have followed through on my promise and cultivated a community through HIH where we are unfiltered, vulnerable and candid when it comes to health. Quote from Chloe (to be featured): "I have followed through on my promise and cultivated a community through HIH where we are unfiltered, vulnerable and candid when it comes to health."
From day one of building HIH, it was imperative that health be looked at from all angles: from physical health to mental health, nutritional health to our mindsets… When all of those areas are attended to, that is the true meaning of health. But one area reigns supreme in my books, mental health. It is the foundation of health. Healthy Is Hot has since expanded into a podcast and a 6-part series on Crave. This brings me to where we meet now - the world of coaching.
As your coach, I will be your biggest cheerleader but may occasionally call you out
As your coach, your goals become my goals
As your coach, I will remind you that YOU are worthy of showing up for yourself the way you so easily do for others or for your career, or your family
As your coach, I will have your back. I want to see you succeed as we work together to tackle movement, nutrition coaching, meditations, life coaching, gratitude practices, and so much more
As your coach, I am committed to supporting you every single step of the way.
As your coach, I promise to cultivate a supportive environment with curated information throughout your transformation within the program
It's been a long and certainly not easy journey to get to where I am now but today I stand proudly as a certified health & life coach as well as a passionate advocate for mental health and balanced living! It's because of my past struggles that I am on a mission to help women with big dreams who may feel currently trapped like I was many moons ago – not liking myself, dieting, over-exercising, confused, overwhelmed and not knowing where to begin.

Unhappy & frustrated because you followed all the "right" steps and still don't feel at peace with yourself

Changing Entrepreneurial Ecosystem In India; Start-ups Betting High
Umang Srivastava, Joint Managing Director, Bonita India
For a long time when Indian economy was modeled on the Soviet model, capitalism was a bad word in India. Things, however, changed in the last decade of the 20th century when liberalisation unleashed a latent force of untapped entrepreneurial potential in the country. With the license raj easing and doing business becoming easier, India set about on a new direction, and there was no looking back.
Not only did new business emerged, they created jobs, attracted foreign investment, spawned a new middle class and modeled a new generation of confident Indians for whom entrepreneurship was a popular choice.
Today entrepreneurship has gained a lot of respect, with people from diverse backgrounds breaking into the big picture. What has changed in the last 25 years is the belief that anybody can do business, provided he/she has the right idea.
Till two decades back, school education was followed by a university degree and then a job with which the person stayed for the rest of his productive life. Businesses were meant only for people belonging to business families who would take forward the merchandise of their forefathers, and diversify it a bit. Today, boosted by the success stories of their peers, more and more people have developed the gut to explore their ideas and take the risk of venturing into a business avenue.
According to NASSCOM India is the 3rd largest base for start-ups in the world at present with over 3,000 startups present in India and over 800 setting up annually. By 2020, India is expected to be a home of 11,500 start-ups employing over 250,000 people.
Start-ups also push business activity on the levels of mergers and acquisitions, with smart companies attracting formidable international attention. Over 20 M&A's worth US$ 1 billion have been completed in India in last three years. Driven by a young and diverse entrepreneurial eco-system that is all inclusive of talent, remarkably innovative ventures are making a mark in India.
What has changed is the economic and social fabric of the country revolutionising the entrepreneurial ecosystem in India.
Role of New Age Technology
In recent time modern versions of entrepreneurship have emerged aided by the transformative power of technology. A bulk of India's start-ups have been in the domain of new age technology, be it e-commerce, IT-enabled healthcare services, or on-call services in a variety of areas. The rapid progress in the field science and technology has significantly expanded the scope of innovation in production, helping entrepreneurs explore new grounds and launch new ideas.
We have spent years acting as the back offices for many international brand and companies. However, with growth in confidence of Indian youth towards taking the risk of establishing their own companies, powered by the IT revolution of the age, Indians are today standing on their entrepreneurial feet. Take that, some of India's most successful start-ups that went on to become huge businesses have been in the IT domain, be it Flipkart, Just dial, Bookmyshow, Makemytrip or even shaadi.com.
Policy Help
Liberalisation of the economy sent forth the first generation of entrepreneurs who established such brand names as Infosys, Bharti, Kotak, ICICI, among many others. These ventures opened a whole new scale of job opportunities for India's educated young. Realising the potential of businesses in creating jobs, successive governments have lent policy support to entrepreneurs as well. New policies towards encouraging micro or small businesses such as making loans easier for them has changed the face of entrepreneurship in India.
However, the slowing down of reform in recent years means we still need to cover a lot of distance when it comes to making India absolutely business friendly by offering right tax incentives, participation in government contracts, availability of risk capital etc.
Financial Crisis as a Reality Check
The global financial crisis of the last decade which saw many old institutions and markets crumble also saw the rise of new ideas and newer ways of doing things. It also in a way forced companies to do more with less, with reduced access to capital, innovation became the key. The realisation that too much investment in real estate or equity markets is not a good idea enabled newer ideas to emerge in many countries including India.
With Indian middle class becoming a voracious consumer of digital products, India has become the fourth largest base of technology start-ups in the world. The growth of start-ups could be mainly accounted to the factors like large domestic market, increased M&A activity and access to capital through investor funding. Indian start-ups are also growing following their unique solutions and business model. With young entrepreneurs dominating the market, most of the start-ups have gained foothold following a strong consumer-centric approach and with B2C business model.
Inflow of Investors
With vibrancy in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, start-ups today have access to multiple sources of funding from venture capitalists (VC), private equities (PE), angel investors, banks and financial institutions as well as incubators. With start-ups betting high on the ecosystem, there is a significant maturity observed in terms of funding. Unlike, a few years ago when financing was debt-oriented, the participation of venture capitalists has grown in India. Today, segments such as travel, matrimonial services, jobs, games, mobile payments, etc., are getting substantial capital infusion.
The relaxed norms and introduction of new reforms by the Indian government has further encouraged the investors to park their money in India. Filling the big lacuna in the entrepreneurial ecosystem in India, which earlier discouraged many budding start-ups, the investors have now gained confidence on Indian caliber and are ready to take the risk.
While IT-related ventures continue to rule, start-ups in sectors like cleantech and renewable energy, retail, healthcare and education have seen increased funding activity Gone are the days when Indian businesses flourished under the shadow of international brands and names.
With more mature ecosystem and ample opportunities, Indians today are not only launching their own brands but also marketing them in the international market under own brand names. With owning patents of many products, Indian entrepreneurship set sail to conquer not just the domestic but international market as well.
Agritech Start-ups: The ray of hope in Indian agriculture
COVID-19: Opportunities for Start-ups
India: The land of technology-led start-ups!
Start-ups in India: Boosting skills across levels
Huge potential of skill creation in tourism and hospitality sector in India
Reinventing traditional Indian fashion with a modern twist

I'm not an expert on this, but could the multiple networks be confusing your devices? Simpler to have just one and let it figure out how not to interfere with itself. just a thought.
Thanks for the comment; that could well be a large part of the problem. As I mentioned, though, for some reason I can't login to my router to make any changes to the existing networks. I could add the eero on top, but not make any changes. I have been hesitant to do a factory reset, since the networks have been working OK. At this point, though, it looks like it may be time.


Isometrics are one of my favourite keep fit approaches at home and away because you don't have to go anywhere, it doesn't require any equipment, and it is super for keeping those muscles toned.
The short version of Isometrics is that they are a "type of strength training whereby the joint angle and muscle length do not change during contraction. They are done in static positions, rather than being dynamic through a range of motion."
Translation: You are basically exerting pressure against your body from your own body to exercise instead of exercising by moving your joints and thus your muscles.
Also, be careful! Just because you're not lifting iron weights or going flat out on a machine doesn't mean you can't hurt yourself. If you slip or lose grip you will find out just how much force you are exerting.
Bottom line, you may look like your having a serious argument with yourself if someone walks in on you doing isometric exercise but trust me, it's great!
Keeping fit is now a common part of everyday life for millions of people and hotels have recognised they need to keep pace with the times. Whether you're a regular business traveller, away for a couple of days or on vacation at some fancy resort, chances are there's a gym where you're staying.
The nice thing is these gyms typically have something for everyone. Heavy iron plates for the powerlifters, shiny dumbbells for everyone, machines that look like torture instruments and nice rubbery mats for the yoga set. It's all there and I've always looked at a new gym as a chance to try out new routines and exercise with equipment I haven't used before.
What I'm saying is is too easy to get stuck in a rut..
(Call it a your routine if your still happy with it) at your regular gym or fitness studio. So here's your chance to try something new! Perhaps your old gym has never had a rowing machine. Well, here's your chance. Or maybe they don't have a good leg press machine, well, here's your chance.
My point is that you need to embrace the different surroundings of your temporary gym and make the most of it.
Jumping jacks, are you for real? Well, yes actually. You see there's a reason they taught you all those exercises in gym class back in elementary school. It's because they work, and like walking or isometrics, require no equipment, can be done easily, anywhere (well almost, but we'll get to that) and are a great way to start the day.
Also, how do you think the military keep fit? Calisthenics are a huge part of their exercise programme and I figure since we're not in elementary school here we should aim high. So let's outline some of the USMC physical fitness test (PFT) requirements as your target level of achievement.
Note: This is setting the highest benchmark here so remember, be realistic of your abilities as these targets are to achieve the max score on the PFT!
Lie flat on your back with shoulder blades touching the deck, knees will be bent, and both feet will be flat on the deck.
Arms will be folded across the chest or rib cage with no gap existing between the arms and chest/rib cage.
A single repetition consists of raising the upper body from the starting position until both forearms or elbows simultaneously touch the thighs, and then returning to the starting position with the shoulder blades touching the deck.
An assistant / counter may be used to hold your legs or feet.
The bar must be grasped with both palms facing either forward or to the rear.
No bringing knees up horizontal to waist.
One repetition consists of raising the body with the arms until the chin is above the bar, and then lowering the body until the arms are fully extended.
Although not part of PFT I figured it would be useful to add this exercise because it's great for overall cardio, balance and fitness.
A word of caution, watch out for ceiling fans.
If you can't remember how to do them then go back to elementary school.
Assume the front-leaning rest position by placing your hands where they are comfortable for you with your feet together or up to 12 inches apart.
When viewed from the side, your body should form a generally straight line from your shoulders to your ankles.
Begin the push-up by bending your elbows and lowering your entire body as a single unit until your upper arms are at least parallel to the ground.
Return to the starting position by raising your entire body until your arms are fully extended. Your body must remain rigid in a generally straight line and move as a unit while performing each repetition.
So there you have it, there's loads of ways to keep fit while on the road! Admittedly, I got a bit carried away with the Calisthenics but that's probably because I consider it to be the foundation to working out without any equipment if your not staying in some fancy hotel with a gym.

30 Women Novelists You Should Know – #6 Sonya Chung
September 17, 2014 / lynnkanter
I've been sharing some thoughts about my favorite novelists. You may already be familiar with many of them, but I hope you'll find some new favorites of your own in this list.
Only one, but it's a beauty
Sonya Chung has written only one novel so far, and it's a beauty. Long for this World is about a war photographer who is injured in Iraq and goes home to recover in New York.
"Home" is an ambiguous concept for her, since she has spent the past decade traveling to all the world's worst places, preserving images and losing people. When she learns that her father has abruptly left her mother and gone to visit his brother in Korea – the first time he has returned to his home country in decades – the daughter goes to find him, bringing her cameras, her childlike Korean, her weariness and her curiosity about this mysterious notion of family.
According to whom?
Chung was 37 when Long for this World was published – a late bloomer, according to some standards of the literary world. This, of course, ignores her many published and lauded stories and essays. And it's a nonsensical standard to begin with (says the writer who also published her first novel at 37).
In response, Chung went on to found Bloom, a literary website that features writers whose first books were published when they were 40 or older. The site's tagline is "'Late' according to whom?"
You can find Sonya Chung's writing all over the Web. What you won't find – yet – is her second novel. Wait for it. Watch for it. It'll be worth it.

Q: What is the equivalent of EF C# ToListAsync in F#? I have the following code in C#:
public async Task<List<Table>> GetRows()
{
  return await db.Table.ToListAsync();
}

where db is an EF 6 DbContext.
How do I write the equivalent thing in F# assuming that I access the same DbContext?
I came up with this code but I am stuck:
let getRows = async {
   let q = query {
         from r in db.Table
             select r
         }
   q |> Seq.map(fun row -> ...) // <-- Here I might want to do some custom function
}

Thank you

A: There's no problem in using .ToListAsync() in F#. I assume that the point of your confusion is to make C# await play nicely with F# async.
In this case, you should use Async.AwaitTask
Here's a code
async {
    let! q = db.Table.ToListAsync() |> Async.AwaitTask //here you have a C# list
}

A: I generally use TaskBuilder.fs, if most of what I'm doing is going to be using c# tasks. I find this preferable to converting back and forth between Async and Task, but it depends on the apis being used.
add from Nuget
dotnet add package TaskBuilder.fs --version 2.1.0

open and use task
open FSharp.Control.Tasks.V2

task {
    let! q = db.Table.ToListAsync()
}

Michael Paine of Sebastopol was a civil libertarian and retired aeronautical engineer who, while living outside of Dallas in 1963, engaged in occasional political discussions with a self-identified Marxist named Lee Harvey Oswald.
When Paine heard of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, he thought immediately of Oswald "but dismissed him because I didn't think he was that irrational," Paine later told an interviewer.
"I saw he was a bitter person … very little charity in his view toward anybody, but I thought he was harmless," he told the commission.
Through much of the 55 years since JFK's murder, some conspiracy narratives have alleged that both Paine and his former wife, Santa Rosa resident Ruth Paine, were CIA operatives and framed Oswald.
Both rejected the scenario as ridiculous, declaring that their observations and knowledge of Oswald persuaded them that the killing of Kennedy was the work of him alone.
Paine died March 1 in Sebastopol, where he had lived with or near his son the past 14 years. He was 89.
He was born in New York City on June 25, 1928, to architect and left-wing activist G. Lyman Paine and Ruth Forbes Young, founder of the International Peace Academy.
Michael Paine studied at Harvard and Swarthmore and was living in Pennsylvania when, in 1957, he married Ruth Avery Hyde. Two years later, Michael Paine took a job with Bell Helicopter that required a relocation to Texas.
The couple settled in Irving, a suburb of Dallas. They had two children, Tamarin and Chris, when they separated amicably in the fall of 1962, then continued to spend time together as a family.
The children lived with Ruth Paine, a Quaker who has said she studied the Russian language in order to counter Cold War tensions by seeking out dialogue with Russian people.
In February 1963, she heard of a Russian woman who spoke no English, having recently moved to the U.S. with her young daughter and her husband, Lee Harvey Oswald. Ruth, now a retired teacher and school counselor living in Rincon Valley, has said she liked the idea of having someone with whom to practice her Russian.
So she reached out to the Oswalds. She invited her ex-husband, too, when she had 21-year-old Marina and Lee Oswald, 23, and baby June over for dinner. Ruth and Marina became friends.
That friendship on occasion brought Michael Paine and Lee Oswald together, and three or four times they engaged in political discussions. Paine, a liberal and longtime member of the American Civil Liberties Union, would later describe Oswald as a "pipsqueak," but one whose politics he tried to understand.
"He told me he became a Marxist in this country by reading books and without having ever having met a communist," Paine said in an interview following the assassination.
In interviews and in testimony before the Warren Commission, Paine described Oswald as a lonely man who seemed to like very few people. But in their conversations Oswald never revealed hostility toward Kennedy.
"I expressed my appreciation of President Kennedy and he didn't ever argue with me on that point," Paine said in an interview.
Though Michael Paine remained no more than an acquaintance to the Oswalds, Ruth took Marina Oswald under her wing and tried to be helpful to her struggling family.
Oswald was hired. He rented a room near the job. In late September, Marina accepted an invitation by Ruth to live with her and her children in Irving, about a 20-minute drive from Dallas.
Ruth Paine allowed the Oswalds to store most of their belongings in her garage. For weeks while working at the book depository, Lee Oswald, who had no car or drivers license, hitched a ride to Ruth's house after work on Fridays, then spent the weekend there with his family.
It surprised Ruth Paine when Oswald appeared at her home unannounced on a Thursday — Nov. 21, 1963. Later that night, she walked into the garage and found the light was on, causing her to wonder who'd been in there.
When she arose the next morning, Lee Oswald was already up and gone. He'd left a coffee cup in the kitchen sink.
At 12:30 that afternoon, gunshots killed JFK as he sat beside his wife, Jacqueline, in the back of a Lincoln Continental convertible just after the presidential motorcade passed by the book depository.
It would soon dawn on the Paines that Lee Harvey Oswald had hidden his scoped, bolt-action rifle in Ruth's garage.
In the 9,400-word "My Experience with Lee Harvey Oswald," Michael Paine wrote that he believed the assassin acted alone and decided only shortly before Nov. 22, 1963, to do something that would make himself infamous.
Both of the Paines testified before the Warren Commission in 1964, Ruth more extensively because of her nearly yearlong friendship with Marina Oswald and her many encounters with Marina's controlling husband.
In time, the Paines both left Texas. Michael Paine lived and worked in Concord, Massachusetts, and was active in coastal conservation and supported Planned Parenthood and the ACLU. He moved to Sonoma County in 2004.
He and his son, Chris Panym, founded near Sebastopol a "multi-household, multi-age, multi-enterprise community" they called Green Valley Village. They were unable to bring it to fruition.
Chris Panym said that as his father approached aged 90 he lost his memory but all his life was committed to championing the environment and civil liberty.
In addition to his son in Sebastopol and his former wife in Santa Rosa, Paine is survived by his daughter, Tamarin Laurel-Paine of Middlefield, Massachusetts.
There will be a memorial service at 1 p.m. on April 14 in the library at Friends House in Rincon Valley. Panym asks people interested in attending to RSVP to him at 707-861-1169.
Editor's note: This version of the story corrects an error on the make of the car in which the Kennedy's rode in Dallas.


I know some of us are Blu-Ray fans and the others are HD DVD followers, but nowadays this conflict is obsolete as more and more Blu-Ray / HD DVD drive/player continue hitting retail stores. The one of the latest 2-in-1 Blu-Ray / HD DVD drives coming from Bufallo Japan. The drive can playback HD format and additionally can burn BD-RE and BD-R discs. This Bufallo drive connects to computer via USB cable, but the Bufallo also offers its internal version of the drive that costs $406 in Japan.
