EPAD is pioneering a new approach to clinical trials of drugs designed to prevent Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive degenerative disease that results in a loss of brain cells. It is the most common form of dementia in the elderly. According to the World Alzheimer Report 2016, there were 46.8 million people worldwide living with dementia in 2015 and this number will reach 131.5 million in 2050.
While there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved two types of medications – cholinesterase inhibitors (Aricept, Exelon, Razadyne) and memantine (Namenda) – to treat the cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. However, despite intensive efforts over many years and significant global investment, no new drugs have been approved since 2003.
There is now compelling evidence that Alzheimer's disease takes hold in the brain decades before dementia symptoms appear, providing a window of opportunity for preventative intervention. As a result, today's research increasingly focuses on this pre-symptomatic phase, with the aim of delaying or preventing the disease.
The European Prevention of Alzheimer's Dementia (EPAD) consortium is an interdisciplinary research initiative that aims to improve the understanding of the early stages of Alzheimer's disease and deliver new preventative treatments.
The largest ever public-private partnership in Alzheimer's disease research, EPAD transcends disciplinary boundaries to combine knowledge and expertise from 39 European partner organisations across multiple sectors. Together, we are developing the EPAD platform on which new therapies can be tested in a streamlined and efficient way, delivering more effective, targeted interventions that can slow or stop dementia.
Research has established beyond doubt that Alzheimer's dementia is a result of multiple disease processes. By the time symptoms appear, numerous pathologies have hampered brain function.
The hypothesis behind EPAD suggests that early, targeted intervention focused on the very first stages of disease will be more successful. This approach requires greater insight into the life of the brain than has ever been achieved before. Which disease processes are most relevant? What is the interaction between risk factors, disease and intervention? How do you find the right people to track over time? EPAD has been set up to find the answers.
EPAD faces a number of challenges, including the difficulty of identifying people who are likely to develop Alzheimer's dementia, the poor understanding of the earliest stages of the disease, and a lack of flexibility in the way clinical trials are carried out.
To address these issues, we have developed three core strategies which deliver benefits for intervention owners and research participants.
The Register: EPAD has created the first single, pan-European register of over half a million people across the risk spectrum for dementia.
The Cohort: From this register, research participants are invited to join an EPAD cohort of at-risk subjects, the Longitudinal Cohort Study, known as the LCS. This group will undergo standardised tests and follow-up over several years.
The Trial: EPAD will select participants to take part in streamlined proof-of-concept (PoC) trials of drugs designed to prevent Alzheimer's dementia.
Watch the EPAD video for an overview of our approach.
The case for using adaptive trials as a methodology to research dementia is strong. With better data and improved decision-making, adaptive trials can increase the probability of success and decrease development time. EPAD is pioneering this approach in Alzheimer's disease.
In traditional clinical trials, half of the participants receive the drug under investigation, and half receive a placebo. In adaptive clinical trials, several candidate drugs are simultaneously compared to each other and to a placebo, meaning that a greater proportion of patients benefit from a potentially active treatment. Furthermore, researchers can adapt the trial design in response to emerging results, new candidate drugs can be added, and those that prove ineffective can be dropped.
By setting up a trial-ready cohort of research participants, creating a pan-European network of trial sites, identifying ineffective medicines earlier in the development process and eliminating failures in more advanced (Phase III) trials, EPAD aims to accelerate the development of effective therapies.

Welcome to County Hall Apartments
Situated right in the heart of London, on the world famous South Bank of the River Thames.
Centred around Forum Magnum Square, we are right behind the London Eye, and a 2 minute walk from Waterloo Station and Westminster Underground Station.
About County Hall Apartments
County Hall Apartments are situated directly behind the iconic Riverside Building on the South Bank of the River Thames next to Westminster Bridge.
The apartments are divided into four blocks (North, South, East & West), centred around Forum Magnum Square. It is a mixed use development, with the ground floor properties consisting of bars, restaurants and retail space, with the upper floors being entirely residential.
In 1995 North & South Blocks were converted from their original function as local government offices into their current usage jointly by Galliard Homes & Frogmore Property.
Following this successful redevelopment, East and West Blocks were added as new-build developments, situated between the North & South Blocks and the Riverside Building, running along Belvedere Road.
The development includes secure underground vehicle parking, and 24/7 Porter's Lodge (situated on the corner of Belvedere Road and Chicheley Street).
It also has a dedicated leisure facility including gym, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi, and a 21m x 4.5m swimming pool.
Since May 2018 the freehold for the development is owned by County Hall Freehold Limited, the shareholders of which are all owners of residential properties within the estate.
North & South Blocks of County Hall were built by the British construction company Higgs and Hill, who built several other of London's iconic buildings, including Queen Elizabeth Hall, The Hayward Gallery, The London Fire Brigade Headquarters, London Television Centre (all still to be found on the South Bank of the River Thames), as well as the Tate Britain art gallery and BBC Television Centre.
The two blocks were built between 1936 and 1939 to extend the office space of the London County Council, who occupied the buildings up until its abolition in 1965, whereupon it was occupied by the newly formed Greater London Council until it was disbanded in 1986.
The buildings run along York Road, between Westminster Bridge Road and Chicheley Street, and are still adorned with architectural features which allude to its past heritage. In particular, the Coat of Arms awarded to London County Council by the Royal College of Arms in 1914 features prominently in various places.
More information on the history and architecture of North & South Blocks can be found at the British History Online website.
A further 'island' block was built in 1974, situated at the easterly end of Westminster Bridge, behind South Block.
The GLC was dissolved in 1986 and in 1995 North & South Blocks were converted into their current usage jointly by Galliard Homes & Frogmore Property.
The island block was not incorporated into the redevelopment and, prior to its demolition in 2006 to make way for the development of the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge hotel, had become a derelict eye-sore.
After completion of the redevelopment of North & South Blocks, East & West Blocks were added as new-build developments. Both North and East Blocks, and South and West Blocks form roughly rectangular outlines each enclosing a private courtyard, with the public Forum Magnum Square separating the two pairs.

AAP supporters protest outside residence of Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari
PTI3 July 2019 10:17 AM GMT
New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party supporters Wednesday staged a protest outside the residence of BJP's Delhi unit chief Manoj Tiwari's after he alleged that there was large scale corruption in the construction of classrooms in Delhi government schools.
The AAP supporters held placards asking Tiwari to 'apologise to children' and 'stop politicising the education of children'.
They were later detained by the police and taken to the Mandir Marg police station.
Tiwari had on Monday claimed that there was a Rs 2,000-crore "scam" in the construction of classrooms in Delhi government schools.
Citing a RTI reply, Tiwari had claimed that the AAP government constructed 12,782 classrooms at a cost of Rs 2,892 crore and this could have been done by spending just Rs 800 crore.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who also handles the education portfolio, had hit back and said on Tuesday that the BJP was making "unfounded allegations" of corruption against the AAP government.
Sisodia had also said that he is committed to creating state-of-the-art infrastructure in government schools and will not step back even if he is sent to jail.
Reacting to the protest, Tiwari said those who "looted" Rs 2,000 crore are raising slogans and protesting against me.
"Instead of replying to the scam in construction of classrooms, they are resorting to counter allegation," he said.

The Means of Constitutional Power

Deference in Interbranch Disputes CONCLUSION
The government which has a right to do an act, and has imposed on it the duty of performing that act, must, according to the dictates of reason, be allowed to select the means; and those who contend that it may not select any appropriate means, that one particular mode of effecting the object is excepted, take upon themselves the burden of establishing that exception.
--McCulloch v. Maryland (1)
he Supreme Court has always had a lot to say about the means used to implement the Constitution. I do not refer to headline-grabbing topics such as the freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, or the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishments. Instead, I mean the mundane but important task of constituting the government--delegating power; setting up agencies; structuring their relationship to the President; establishing rules of administrative procedure; setting up the federal courts; creating rights of action, burdens of persuasion, and statutes of limitations; instituting cooperative (or not-so-cooperative) federal-state partnerships; and the like. One might think that, by virtue of the Necessary and Proper Clause, primary responsibility for all such questions would lie at Congress's door. But the Supreme Court, too, exercises great influence over the means of implementing constitutional power--in no small part because the Court itself establishes the rules of statutory and constitutional interpretation that structure the allocation of decisionmaking authority. Consider two examples.
First, without the benefit of any express direction from the Constitution or from federal statutes, judge-made rules of statutory construction deeply affect how federal power is carried out and by whom. (2) In particular, such rules tell us how much authority the judiciary (or executive) has to smooth out, or even supplement, the means specified by statutory texts when the courts think a tweak or two is necessary to effectuate the purposes of legislation. (3) Important things turn on this question--issues such as the judicial power to enforce the spirit over the letter of the law, the availability of implied rights of action, and the scope of federal preemption, just to name a few. (4)
Second, in the exercise of Marbury-style judicial review, the Court directly passes judgment on the validity of the governmental arrangements Congress establishes. (5) Again, since the particulars of the American doctrine of judicial review are entirely judge-made, the Court's approach to such cases profoundly affects the distribution of power to compose the federal government. If the Court acts like a gentle Thayerian in structural constitutional cases, deferring to Congress's judgment about the uncertain contours of principles such as federalism or the separation of powers, then Congress rather than the Court will have broad latitude to configure the government. (6) If, however, the Court exercises independent judgment about the often open-ended reach of those principles, the Court itself will have the final say about many important questions concerning the shape of American government. …

Method Acting
If you want to study The Method I can teach you. I coach all levels of actors with the intention of my actors getting work. And they do. I want you to explore what it's like to experience the unbelievable amount of satisfaction you can have by allowing yourself to study acting. I teach from a method base and will work on monologues, scenes, and audition materials, collaborating with you on what it is you need to understand how we go about doing this thing called acting. I can work virtually. One thing you must know about me, I am nice. I won't crush your dreams. I will, however, make sure you attain them. I can come to you or you can meet me where I teach. I am in SF and Los Angeles. I successfully work virtually with actors, too. I look forward to meeting you. I coach all levels of actors. I want you to explore what it's like to experience the unbelievable amount of satisfaction you can have by allowing yourself to study acting. I teach from a method base and will work on monologues and audition materials, collaborating with you on what it is you need to understand how we go about doing this thing called acting. One thing you must know about me, I am really nice. I won't crush your dreams. I will, however, make sure you attain them. I can come to you or you can meet me where I teach. I am in SF and Los Angeles. I successfully work virtually with many people. If you want to act, we can make it happen. In the dramatic arts, method acting is a technique that actors use to create and develop lifelike performances. Though not all Method actors use the same approach, the "Method" refers to the method of teaching the craft of acting, which was created by Constantin Stanislavski in order to teach concepts of acting to his students. Later, Lee Strasberg adapted Stanislavski's method of teaching for American actors. Strasberg's method emphasized the practice of connecting to a character by drawing on personal emotions and memories, aided by a set of exercises and practices including sense memory and effective memory. Stanislavski's system of acting was the foundation of Strasberg's technique. Those who use Strasberg's technique are now commonly referred to as "Method Actors", although the "Method" refers to Stanislavski's original system.
About Kathryn K.
Kathryn K You can be a working actor! I am so happy you're here. Studying acting can save your heart. Especially after everything we've been through. I am a Critics Circle Award winning Performance Artist and an Award Winning Playwright and Teaching Artist. I offer committed actors and music performers and anyone who wishes to improve their ability to communicate private sessions to strengthen and ignite your work. I specialize in acting for film, television and theatre in the Method. I coach professionals, offering a more authentic and inspiring way to communicate. I am a member of SAG-AFTRA, AEA and the Dramatists Guild. In sessions we will work on technique for film, stage, self tape auditions using monologue, scene study and script analysis. I educate and support actors and speakers to work effectively in their industry. Artists I work with have secured roles in the upcoming films such as Three Birthdays, I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Whitney Houston Bio Pic), to name a few and award winning independent films. Many of my students become represented by agents and are accepted to the universities they desire; NYU Tisch, Stella Adler, Atlantic, Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, USC, UCLA, Chapman, to name a few I studied Stanislavsky, Lee Strasberg Method and Uta HagenHB Studio, Mark Monroe Studios and Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. You can see my actors on shows such as, HBO's, Thirteen Reasons Why, The Late Late Show, WestWorld, Blue Jasmine, Touching Home, (too many to name) and productions at Equity theatres throughout the country and countless National commercials. Most have joined SAG-AFTRA and Actors Equity. Speakers: Many in tech, engineers, attorneys and in the medical field. I offer one on one coaching offering tools to empower you to communicate with authenticity and confidence, giving you tools I offer to actors to better prepare you for the immense pressure one can experience when communicating. Many of my students work with me to overcome years of shyness and to focus on virtual work. This work helps one speak more comfortably and confidently. I address how to communicate on camera and off; how to maintain clarity in communication, In my own work as an artist I have participated in various aspects of film, television, commercial and theatrical productions and composed music for various projects including, Too Young to Be This Old, The Hummingbird, The Miracle Makers Club (Dr. Joan Hangarter), Surviving Eden (Lee Caplin), Coldwater (Ron Perlman, Lucas Black), Open House (Happy Smart House), Tryst (Winner of NYC International Award), The Prophet, Toddler Project (Mitch Grey) , spearheaded deal packaging 22 patents of children's clothing w China Starr, The Kanooties, Grow.com, The Penny Sparks Show, A Roomful of Trees (ELF) An 18 month lawsuit followed w/ Time Warner. Kathryn and her partner, Gunnar Madsen, definitely got the short end of that stick but can tell you what NOT to do after spending years writing a movie. (Kathryn K and Gunnar Madsen; see Entertainment Weekly. Co-founded Mark Monroe Studios in San Francisco, changing the face of the creative community. She handled well over 600 students from all aspects of the industry. Kathryn enjoys the entertainment industry and has her degree as a paralegal, which has come in very handy. Auditions!! They are definitely the most difficult and nerve wracking part of being an actor or singer, right? Booking work means your audition has to be as good as opening night. Auditioning is about preparation and preparation takes consistent support. Look, showbiz is not a business about being alone. Artists thrive when working together. We are a collaborative bunch and collaborating to make sure you're ready and organized for your auditions makes sense. Stop trying to muscle through this necessary step alone. No one who works consistently does that! They ask for help. ASK FOR HELP!! Solidify your acting choices so you don't have to worry about them the day before your audition. Know your prep so you can internally drop into it when the casting director says, "Whenever you're ready." Have your music material and performance choices prepared ahead of time. BE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. Work with me when your agent sends you your sides so you show up READY. Know your lines. It's OK if your struggling with memorization. Let's figure out How YOU memorize. Let me coach you for online audition submissions. If we are working virtually I will coach while you are taping yourself to submit your online audition. It works! Let me collaborate with on script analysis in order for you to you understand your material before you audition. Take your work seriously so you bring your most intelligent and inspiring work to the audition rooms. You'll be bringing the agents, casting directors, directors, producers and writers the inspiration they crave regarding their beloved projects. Do that and you're gonna book. I know you can work and I can't wait to make it happen with you. About Kathryn Kathryn is a member of the Sag-Aftra and Actors Equity and BMI and is a Critics Circle Award Winner.

Gil Gross, Host The Gil Gross Show –Radio, ABC "I have loved Kathryn's music from the day I first heard her sing, but even being a fan of her recordings did not prepare me for seeing her perform live. She is a great live performer holding her audience willing captives to each turn of a melody and the drama of every lyric. She more than sings. She inhabits a song and involves each member of the audience in its drama, joy or sorrow. There are performers for whom a performance is a night out. When Kathryn performs it's a lifetime shared with us in a single evening. If you want to merely hear some tunes, there are many people who will do.

Four words… Real. Heartfelt. Extremely gifted. You wont want to miss the opportunity to work with her! :)
The lesson with Kathryn today was great. She immediately made me feel both comfortable and engaged. She helped me to better express my intention with both the piece as a whole and with particular lines. And to feel more natural in my delivery, as if I were carrying on a personal conversation. She offers a welcome balance of encouragement and challenge. Bravo!
Kathryn has helped me build my skills and confidence in presenting and recording myself on video for corporate and sales facing content. No detail too small or not discussed... in a good way... from lighting, to microphone placement, to clothing, to make-up, to how to mentally prepare before hand, to the content and the delivery. This is the beginning of what I hope to be a long term journey to continuously hone my skills. She is down to earth, real, genuine, kind and funny. Money very well invested.

A reworked Relevancy Workbench user interface
An improved and customizable Search page
The Relevancy Workbench now lets you compare the results of two query pipelines side-by-side, and view the changes to results as you modify the query pipeline.
The Search interface has a new look, but more importantly, it now lets you customize it by selecting which fields are displayed as titles and summaries, which are used as facets, how they are labeled, and whether they are displayed at all:
Besides the Relevancy Workbench and the Search interface, you'll find a freshened look in a few other places in the UI, and this will eventually find its way everywhere:
Less obvious, but no less important, Fusion 1.2 comes with a few new connectors for importing and indexing data:
A Jira connector and a Slack connector bring in data from the respective systems.
A Solr connector allows you to easily move or migrate data from one Solr system to another – perhaps you want to upgrade your hardware, or go to a new installation and version that has the clustering feature enabled, or perhaps you want to make a test environment.
And most interesting to me, the Javascript connector lets you write code on the fly to call APIs and fetch data from any place that's not already reachable via an existing connector. With this connector, we've made it easy to script your own data collection, while not having to worry about capabilities Fusion provides like scheduling, logging, and monitoring.
Behind the scenes, we've also been working on foundational changes that will become important in future releases. We've improved security on the backend, added configuration APIs, and enhanced audit logging. Stay tuned, as the effects of this work will become apparent soon. But for now, enjoy Fusion 1.2!

This past summer, I had the chance to play this wonderful game of resource management geared toward teaching players about the economics and environmental impacts of generating the electrical power we use every day. Players compete to construct energy production facilities in several different biomes, scoring points for the amount of energy generated and limiting the impact on the environment. The game relies on area control and resource management mechanics, supports up to four players and takes about an hour to play the first time. Gameplay, while straightforward, allows for significant variation in strategy, and players must balance the physical footprint of their structures with cost and energy generation.

Michael Adas. Machines as the Measure of Men: Science, Technology, and Ideologies of Western Dominance. Ithaca:	Cornell University Press, 2015. 456 pp. $26.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-8014-7980-9.
Assessing the scholarly merit of as canonical a volume as Michael Adas's Machines as the Measure of Men: Science, Technology, and Ideologies of Western Dominance, now reissued in a second edition twenty-five years after its initial publication, is no straightforward task. The book's general thesis is well known and broadly accepted. Drawing on predominantly European-authored materials ranging from scientific and travel accounts to literary works, and with comparative emphasis on Africa, India, and China, Adas argues that scientific and technological achievements have served as Western-centric indicators of human worth in the modern period. Before this time, religious and cultural factors were the principal benchmarks, owing to the fact that Europeans frequently adjudged non-Western technologies superior to their own. By these standards, India and China impressed with their engineering and agriculture and China stood out for the perceived efficacy of its imperial administration, while Hindu polytheism repulsed and African societies appeared to fall short in both material and cultural terms. With the Enlightenment, science joined religion and culture as evaluative categories. Chinese aptitudes, apparently hamstrung by government corruption and inordinate fidelity to custom and tradition, fell the furthest by these criteria, while Chinese innovations like gunpowder and printing seemed to require Western innovation to unleash their full potential. Indian accomplishments, on the other hand, gained favor with the Orientalist discovery of ancient Hindu literary and scientific works, though this high regard did not extend to present-day Indian culture, widely held to be degenerate after centuries of Mughal rule. Abolitionist sentiment likewise improved perceptions of African peoples, although technological differences were still routinely cited as proof of inequality—or even, in the hands of proslavery writers like Edward Long, of racial inferiority.
In the nineteenth century, Long's views became ascendant, as revolutionary technologies—iron-working, steam power, telegraphs and electricity, among others—apprised Westerners of their apparently superior mastery of nature. Such comparisons prompted Thomas Babington Macaulay's sweeping dismissal of Indian learning and James Hunt's downright vicious portrayal of Africans. Europeans seemed to take particular gratification in castigating Chinese accomplishments—perhaps, Adas hypothesizes, as a means of compensating for China's former prepotency in technological and governmental matters. These disparagements were at the root of the nineteenth-century civilizing mission, which justified colonization endeavors on the grounds that less favored peoples would benefit from the imposition of Western knowledge systems, labor norms, and trade infrastructure, even while the sheer ferocity of these compulsory transformations undercut any semblance of altruistic motivation. Toward the end of the century, the alleged cultural and cognitive divide between Europeans and subjugated peoples acquired a veneer of permanence with the preponderance of biological approaches to the comparative study of human societies, drawing considerably on Darwinian natural selection as well as emerging sciences like phrenology and craniometry. Assimilationist priorities thus gave way to an emphasis on subordinating ostensibly less advanced non-Western cultures to Europeans. This had devastating consequences for African societies in particular, which were colonized while these ideas were at their height.
Events at the turn of the century weakened these certainties. Japan's emergence as an industrialized global power, for instance, called into question earlier assumptions regarding Asian societies, while the depraved behavior of Westerners in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness (1899) gave the lie to notions of European cultural superiority. The Great War shook these ideas to their core. So far from being emblems of mastery, military machinery turned soldiers into neurotic, debilitated recipients of technological brutality. The upheaval spurred, inter alia, Hermann Hesse's explorations of Asian cultures for antidotes to Europe's spiritual deficiencies, and George Orwell's invective against what he called the "Pox Britanica" (p. 388). For colonized peoples who witnessed the carnage firsthand, moreover, the alleged virtues of European civilization appeared more fraudulent than ever. These misgivings did not, however, prompt Britain or France to abandon their empires, which had proven decisive to the Allied victory. What is more, civilizing ideology gained popularity in the United States, which remained comparatively unscarred by either of the world wars. This provided fertile ground for modernization theory, which emphasized the agency and independence of non-Western societies in their transition to modernity, but nonetheless embodied a model of intervention as paternalistic and ethnocentric as its Victorian iteration. It has also proven ecologically and socially disastrous. As Adas observes in a new preface, although non-Westerners have exploded the disparaging assessments of earlier European writers, detrimental and discriminatory applications of science and technology persist: in, among other things, nuclear proliferation, fossil fuel pollution, and Westerners' insistence that formerly colonized peoples bear the economic brunt of climate change by reducing their ecological footprint. At the same time, Adas predicts, equitably devised scientific and technological solutions will also be indispensable to resolving these predicaments.
Several auxiliary lines of argument buttress these findings. Most controversially, Adas argues that European standards of scientific and technological comparison are largely informed by "cultural chauvinism" rather than racism (p. 12). While this is a useful distinction, it seems at times to hinge on assertions by Western authors taken at face value, when greater sensitivity to ideas that might underlie or even contradict published remarks is perhaps called for. The author also addresses the issue of causality in suggesting that machines became paramount benchmarks of comparison owing to the growing heft of the educated, socially mobile middle classes, highly involved in colonial administration, science, commerce, and missionary pursuits, and therefore deeply attuned to observable differences in technological capabilities. Nationality influenced Western outlooks as well, as evidenced by French tendencies to view science, rather than technology, as a barometer of aptitudes—a pattern explicable, Adas suggests, in light of the fact that France was less industrialized than Britain yet French science was more firmly institutionalized. Gender is less carefully explored here, as Adas himself concedes in the preface, though the book makes intermittent mention of the fact that reduced intellectual capacities attributed to non-Westerners often paralleled prevailing misogynistic attitudes.
Machines as the Measure of Men occasionally shows its age. It would be difficult today to justify an interpretive undertaking of this scope, for instance, without giving greater attention to non-Western and indigenous critical perspectives. Such a move would surely advance the author's discussion of alternatives to the "ethnocentric vision" and "cultural imperialism" represented by modernization ideology (p. 415). The book also adopts something of a diffusionist framework for understanding the transmission of "European science and technology" to "non-Western peoples" (p. 5), in contrast to a now considerable literature that emphasizes the globally dispersed and often culturally heterogeneous production of science and innovation in imperial contexts.
These shortcomings, however, do not outweigh the book's most important virtue: its elegantly crafted, magisterial aggregation of case studies—from the likes of Karl Marx and William Jones to less recognizable figures like the Scottish novelist George Whyte-Melville—illustrating the sheer intransigence of Western technoscientific chauvinism across a broad range of political viewpoints. Alongside works more attentive to the perspectives of marginalized groups, Machines as the Measure of Men thus remains a worthy resource for confronting standards of cultural comparison that have so utterly shaped contemporary and historical disparities.

Tushabe Rovence
Records and Data Officer
My names are Tushabe Rovence. I work as the records and data officer for MH.
I was born in Ibanda district in 1989. I come from a very big family as my father had two wives. There 14 children (all born at home) but now we are 8 – 3 boys and 5 girls. My father passed away when I was 8 months old. The mothers are still there together on the compound. I will never marry a man who has 2 wives though – I have seen so many problems coming up and cooperation was not good!
When I was young I was very stubborn, I loved my mum and I was the youngest, and we are still very close. My other siblings did not go to school because we didn't have enough money. But because I was the last child, my mother worked hard to educate me and was able to pay school fees for me.
I did very well at secondary school. I only did S6 (year 12) for one term because after that we could not manage school fees. I had a dream of learning how to use a computer. Then I requested to my mum to take me to where I can get training for computer – so I went to Entebbe for training in IT and Business Studies. I finished well, and went for a job in Kamwenge at an IT centre and started working there. Then from there I was lucky enough to be invited to join MH - I loved my job! When our Kamwenge project closed, I went to Mbarara and worked there until MH started working in Fort Portal. Then Maranatha again called me to work with them there – I never hesitated, I was very happy. Here in FP the place is good, we have many patients and I am happy because most of the staff I was working with have joined us again, so we are still together.
I thank very much the directors at MH, for calling me back and loving me. I want to thank the people of Australia for the funding, love and care being given to us. We are really grateful. On behalf of the patients we thank you – they are really happy – they love our staff and services and we are praying that you continue supporting us without feeling tired. We promise you that as staff members we are working hard and do the best we can. Thank you very much.
Lauben
Lauben has a been Security Guard with MH since 2012. He is hard-working, loyal and almost always has a smile on his face and something to laugh about!
"I grew up in Kabale District in a small village. I lived with my parents until they divorced, then my father gave me to my grandmother to look after [traditionally men have the right to the children after divorce]. My grandmother fell ill and decided to move to Kamwenge to be with her children. I feared mistreatment from my father and new stepmother, so I went with her.
When my grandmother died I moved in with my Uncle and his family. He was very tough on me, and I had to be very polite and earn my place in his house. I had finished P5 (Year 5) at school in Kabale, and so kept going in Kamwenge – but it took me long to finish primary school as I only went to school a few days a week. Often my uncle's family made me stay home and help dig or do other work. I worked to get school fees for secondary school, and managed to complete Senior 4 (Year 10).
Then I moved to Kampala and joined a security firm, where I received training. I worked for them for 2 years, before returning to Kamwenge to work as a security officer for an NGO. I worked there for 5 years and during that time, I met and married my wife. We got pregnant with our first child in our first year of marriage – it was a difficult time as I was looking for work. Then I found a job at Maranatha, which I really enjoy.
Apart from working at Maranatha, I enjoy football very much. I have always been in competitions as I like to play and watch. I am a big arsenal fan! I also enjoy reading in my free time.
Joshua Mbeeta
My name is Joshua Mbeeta, I work as a laboratory technician for Maranatha Health.
Why I became a lab technician
I was in secondary school and my sister was always sickly. Every time my mum would take her to the nearby clinics or a government health centre, they would just give her anti-malarials and she wouldn't get better. It was only when my mum took her to a private hospital, and they ran some tests, that they were able to come up with the right diagnosis. They treated her properly and she got better. But in the meantime my family had spent a lot of money in different clinics treating a wrong diagnosis.
In my mind I developed an idea that if I could learn how to test blood, maybe I would be able to help people like my sister. That is how it all begun. Then I did sciences at A level which led me to do Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science at the university.
My childhood career dream
When I was growing up in our village, there lived a brilliant lawyer, who was smart, rich, and respected by everyone. I always wanted to be like him and all my friends knew I was going to be lawyer, right up until that moment when I had that random thought that changed my mind. And up to now I don't regret making that decision.
The hardest thing in my work
Sometimes dealing with ailing patients is quite challenging, when you do all you can but the patient still passes on, it's one moment that I have never coped with well.
How my work at Maranatha makes a difference to people
I can confidently say that we try to do all we can to produce quality lab services. Compared to other labs in the region, Maranatha health lab is not into exorbitant profit making but rather cares about the quality of test results we give out to our clients. When we make a right diagnosis using a right result from the lab, the patient is managed well, the patients get better, the team wins and everyone is happy at the end of it all. As a lab personnel I feel so motivated and happy to be part of patient management.
The work environment at Maranatha is very good, everyones input in patient management is always valued irrespective of the cadre or race or tribe.
My future hopes and aspirations
I want to see Maranatha Health expand its service base and grow into a centre of excellence in all aspects, be it treatment, be it capacity building and systems strengthening.
As far as the lab is concerned, I would be happy to see the lab expand in terms of space personnel and ability to perform a wide range of specialised patient sample analysis in different lab departments be it pathology and cytology, microbiology and clinical chemistry.
Kirungi Maureen
I am Kirungi Maureen, I am married with 3 young children. My father, Major Richard Badogo, is a soldier in the Uganda People's Defence Forces. He is currently fighting for peace in Somalia. My mother is retired. My husband works in government.
I work as an administrator and business manager at Maranatha Health. I am very happy because my bosses and fellow workers are very cooperative and friendly. I am grateful I have joined a happy family.
Before MH, I was an accountant/administrator at Twerwaneho Listeners Club, a Human Rights organisation based in Fort Portal. I have a Bachelors of Business Management, specialising in Accounting, from Mountains of the Moon University in Fort Portal. I also have a diploma in IT in Nakawa.
My home area is Katumba, Kahwoikwa East Division, which is in Fort Portal Municipality. I have grown up in Fort Portal, and I was even born in one of the NGO hospitals here.
Mbambu Milly
Senior Nurse
My name is Mbambu Milly and I am a senior nurse with Maranatha Health.
I'm from Kygegwa district (in the west of Uganda), I am the fifth born in my family – I have 2 brothers and 3 sisters. I am a Seventh Day Adventist by religion.
My mother was a midwife. I used to see her go to work and she used to tell about how me she would help mothers deliver, and she cared for patients so much. And so my heart would really want to help also. And then I would go to a government hospital with her and I would find children there seated waiting but there was no medical officer. I would see them in pain and I felt so bad for them and I would also want to help. I had that feeling in my heart like I wanted to help them, and so I became a nurse.
What I like about nurses is that they are also look very smart, with their uniforms and caps. I thought as a young girl "Wow! Let me become a nurse!"
I completed Senior 6, then I joined the enrolled comprehensive nursing course, and finished in 2011. After completing, I worked for Maranatha Health [in Kamwenge]. I felt I needed more training to give more help to the sick. I thought that, although I was helping, there was so much more I wished I could do. So I went back and completed my Diploma in Midwifery. And now I work for Maranatha Health in Fort Portal.
I like being a nurse because it involves people lives, I like helping when people are suffering, and you get to be with them. I really like midwifery and looking after small babies. I enjoy working for Maranatha Health very much. It is an organisation that came to help the poor, and I also like serving the poor, so when I saw that MH was doing that, I wanted to join.
Annet Assimwe
Hello, I'm Annet Assimwe, I work as a receptionist for MH. My role mainly focuses on the registration of patients, and receiving cash, consultation, lab, pharmacy, stamping paid on patients books, recording in the receipt and debtors books – those are my roles as receptionist.
Many times we are receiving patients who can't afford to pay. I normally contact the management, and see the way out, and when they find out that the patient is totally poor, we end up bringing that patient and we help him without any payment.
Patients who have been coming to MH are very impressed about the services rendered at Maranatha. Indeed they are very happy, because many are being helped, especially the poor are very happy and indeed, Maranatha has changed the lives of people in Uganda. Thank you to the brothers and sisters in Australia for the support. May God bless you, thank you.

Finfish Communities of Two Intertidal Marshes of the Goodwin Islands, York River, Virginia
Lisa Ann Ayers, College of William and Mary - Virginia Institute of Marine Science
The finfish communities using the intertidal surfaces of a bay-exposed marsh and a sheltered, channel marsh of the Goodwin Islands, York River, Virginia were studied from May to November 1994. Samples were taken approximately twice monthly using a flume weir at three stations in each marsh. Species composition, abundance and biomass were estimated, and growth patterns and production rates were described for the dominant species. A total of 3001 fish were collected from 11 species and 8 families. Fundulus heteroclitus dominated both marshes and accounted for 83.07% of the total number of fish caught, and 84.83% of the total biomass collected. Menidia menidia was the second most abundant species at 9.00% of the total number of fish, but F. majalis was second in the total biomass at 7.51 % of the total. Abundance first peaked in June, and a second peak occurred in November. Biomass had a small peak in the beginning of August, and a large peak in late September. Analysis of variance showed the number of species captured did not differ significantly between the marshes. However, both the number of individuals and biomass were significantly higher in the protected marsh. Correspondence analysis showed that species composition in the protected marsh was mostly cyprinodontids, but in the open marsh species composition varied more throughout the sampling season. Species densities were highest at 9.8 ± 3.3 fish/m2 for F. heteroclitus in the protected marsh. Production for F. heteroclitus over the summer in the protected marsh was high at 10.1 g dry wt.fm2 due to the large number of rapidly growing larval and juvenile fish.

#5 "And actually not funny but sadly serious because in 2017 women still on average earn less for doing the exact same job as their equally qualified male counterparts."
Not true.
Ben Frost, a global reward expert at Hay Group, said: "When it comes to thinking about pay on the basis of gender, a man and a woman in the same company, doing the same job, will usually be paid nearly the same. The data shows this very consistently, from Sweden to South Africa. This means we need to look at the pay gap differently. The biggest driver is a lack of women in high-paying industries, senior functions and in leadership positions. If we want to close the pay gap and make a difference, it is the road to the top jobs that needs to be the focus. This is the pay gap problem."

#15 You're not going to change his opinions and he's not going to change yours. You've both made up your minds. You think he's a racist bigot and he thinks you're a leftist cuck. If the debate was more friendly and open-minded, then it would have a point.
"It is precisely IMHO this kind of timidity and inaction refusal to call people out who expose such positionality that has enabled these alt right movements and actors to grow in strength and power."
They grow in strength and power because the left has no satisfying solutions to the current problems. People are concerned about things and these concerns have to be addressed with sympathy. You can't make them go away by calling them intolerant. That way you're just feeding into the partisan system. I'm not American, but in Europe, the left wing politicians have called the people concerned with the current immigration situation racists, islamophobes and so on. That is not going to change their opinions and it's not going to make them go away. So what do these politicians do? Call them racist again. I see no critical thinking there. I see ideologues against ideologues.

After seeing this, I started wondering if being an astronaut could be one of the most dangerous jobs. Found this article: http://www.penmachine.com/2003/02/is-being-astronaut-most-dangerous-job.html
"So, at the very lowest end of the range, with 34 deaths out of 450 spacefarers, we have a 7.5% death rate. In terms of the "dangerous jobs" statistics above, that's more than 7,500 deaths per 100,000. So being an astronaut or cosmonaut is well over 60 times as dangerous as logging, and has nearly twice the fatality rate as climbing the world's highest mountains."

These products were developed solely with the pro user in mind. After continuous development and research we landed on much smaller housings and more compact motors and internals, adding even more benfit to the brushless product ranges. The power and durability of this range succeeds their predecessors in even more compact packages, these embody and act as the Dewalt becnhmark products.
The design process was lengthy and thorough, we spent a long time filtering research data and refining design concepts to drive the new drilling platforms forward. The compact nature and ergonomics were at the highest point on the list of specs, through multiple iterations we arrived on a design between marketing, engineering and myself as lead designer to give the user this drilling and impact range.
This product came about through a close collaboration with Homegrown Skateshop in Ithaca NY, we have worked on multiple different design projects and when this opportunity arose, I was first in line.
I worked closely with the Skateshop and Nike to lay out materials, colorways, and specs for laces, sole, graphics, art, and embossed leather details.
The end result was a highly limited, (12,000 pairs) globaly sold sneaker that was sought after and resold for 8 times it's own value, only 4 hours after it's release.
this was a 10 year collaboration to deliver a truly iconic and recognizable sneaker putting Homegrown skateshop and my design and art on the map in the shoe world.
These grinder lines were offset with eachother but at the time I was the design lead on all metalworking.
The research and development on the corded small angle grinder program was lengthy and came from a heritage standpoint, Dewalt is a leader in this category and I wanted to build off where they have been and define where they can go. I spent months doing research and concepts different layouts and design directions.
We would travel nationally and even internationally to confirm our suspicious and design intuitions. Once we locked in user specs and a design direction we designed the grinder family that will now define the future of professional angle grinding.
The 60 volt Flexvolt angle grinder was developed alongside the newly released 60 volt platform and was to act as a flagship product in the range.
This grinder delivers power that an AC small angle grinder cannot deliver or compete with, we aimed this compact handle and counterbalanced weight at the on-site pro user who need to adjust or clean up a weld on the fly.
The AC blower was designed to give the pro jobsite worker an option to clean up quickly when working with a bare frame or also allow a user to have versatility in their tool for backyard or outdoor use.
The 60 volt Flexvolt blower was deisgned to align with the Flexvolt power tool release and range, allowing a user to have a jobsite blower or build off the range and have an outdoor range, pairing it with the string trimmer.
The PCC740LA is the latest Porter Cable product added to the line of tough, durable hard working power tools.
While at Quirky I assisted in designer ranges of housewares and home based consumer products.
My roles were to develop concepts, do user market research and competitive landscaping, host brainstorms, and render 3D concepts and final directs on a CMF thinking standpoint.
Here are some of rthe products and projects I worked on.
Tempus is a watch project I wanted to pursue, trying to create my own elegant, simple analog take on the wristwatch. My inspiration came from the gears within a simple quartz watch mechanism.
This project was about materials and finishes, trying to dive away from mechanical limitations but also tie into classic silhouettes of the modern day watch.
Tempus is currently only a concept.
Dewalt sanding is highly regarded as a staple to any and all pro users tool set.
Dewalt hadn't re-designed or re-visited their sanding category in almost 10 years prior to this point, meaning users relied on the durability and value that they got out of them, not to mention the research and designed ergonomics.
We spent a lot of time researching this user and user over 40 condcept models and iterations to lock down the users needs, requirements and asks, delivering Dewalt's best sanding range ever.
The removal rate exceeds standards and requirements, the vibration is limited, the ergonomics were tested over and over again, refined to the millimeter.
This sanding renge delivers professionals more than what they need in an all day use sander.
This a about creating an experience for the viewers and different experiences in environments.
I want to design a small portable projector for business meetings, backyard parties, or just to have the ability to watch a move wherever one wants.
I want to design in the ability to directly connect to your portable device or cell phone. This product will have on board speakers and a simple setup and stand all packaged in a small portable carrying case.
The project is in development and will be updated on the site as I work through it.
When working with Hasbro I assisted lead designers on project and product work, storyboarding, concept generation, manufacturing feedback, color specs, and graphics.
The prgrams I specifically fosucs on were Playskool initiatives.
Starwars, Marvel, and Transformers were some of the teams I worked with, while there I worked on "looks-like" models, functional prototypes, team benchmark brainstorms and on product graphics.
When approached with being the lead on designing the new bluetooth, cordless. battery charger radio I knew it would be a challenge and fun.
The jobsite radio was pioneered by Dewalt and adding a successor to the legacy was a tough job. We spent numerous weeks researching and revisiting past findings. We looked at different manufacturing methods for certain parts to ensure durability and toughness above all while knowing we needed to get better reception and a cleaner sound.
The rollcage I designed was pitched and then over performed when we drove a super duty truck over the radio without breaking it and also having it turn back on.
This is the toughest, loudest, and most advanced radio dewalt has seen so far.

This reclaimed furniture project was focused on creating an efficient and modular system for students and/or artist's studios.
All parts of the system were designed and built by me with some help from friends, the end result and final product lives at CIA currently and was tested out by some students.
I am working on my own side project to develop a compact touch screen external hard drive that also has USB ports allowing users to exchange data to smaller drives.
The benefit allow the users to view what files are on the hard drive and also swap and quickly exchange files to smaller thumb drives on the go.
This will benefit the music industry and also smaller businesses that have a variety of out of office meetings and can quickly swap files or work data when needed.
This was a self managed and driven project focusing on recreating what a clock is and how it's presented. I created the concept with a mechanical engineering friend and then used the materials, technology, and the algorithm to drive the process and clock design.
The abacus clock is a simply made, cleanly designed clock that stands or hangs, it is 17" wide x 15.5" tall.
I wanted to design a chair that is flat packing, easily assembled (without any or minimal fastening) and could be created out of 1 piece of plywood.
when I can, I like to dabble in graphics and illustration as well.
I work closely with a variety of companies delivering branding and logo design on top of some illustration work.
Here are some of the examples of my graphic design work.
