One of only two artists to win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony, and Peabody award, Barbra Streisand, the American singer, songwriter, actress, and filmmaker is, to put it bluntly, an icon of entertainment. In a classic rags-to-riches tale, Streisand slogged her way to the top, first singing in nightclubs, then performing on broadway, making television appearances, and finally starring in films. Never letting go of her dream to be a great actor, Barbra Streisand's success as a singer was her initial claim to fame but not her only talent by far.
With 50 studio albums to her name Streisand is one of the best-selling music artists of all time. She successfully transitioned from the stage to the silver screen, and many of her great albums, mostly produced by Columbia Records, are film or musical soundtracks. Her Barbra-from-Brooklyn voice with its nasal timbre and Jewish character is unmistakable. And while she sounds without a doubt like a great pop singer, a complex operatic tremor adds rich texture to her songs. With hits like Don't Rain On my Parade and Happy Days Are Here Again, she made platinum time and again and her concerts and tours remain sell out events.
In TASCHEN's deluxe Streisand publication, images of the celebrity by Steve Schapiro and Lawrence Schiller come together in an ode to her illustrious career. The book features photographs on set and behind the scenes of movies such as Funny Girl, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, The Way We Were, The Owl and the Pussycat, Up the Sandbox, Funny Lady, Yentl, and A Star Is Born. Stories of her life and lovers are woven throughout. Available in an XXL format and with a photographic art edition, the book captures the elusive yet enigmatic spirit of a performer who can write, produce, direct, and star in almost anything.

August 10, 2018 October 26, 2018 Joseline Kelly Press Releases
All natural teen sensation Joseline Kelly stars in the latest DVD release from Twistys. Shot in HD, 'Mom Knows Best 8' is now available at retailers nationwide. It includes interactive menus, chapter selections, a photo slideshow, and trailers.
Joseline Kelly's scene in the movie was directed by the award-winning director Holly Randall and co-stars India Summer. The scene includes the young starlet paying a visit to her doctor, an older, more experienced woman, who wants to give sweet little Joseline some hands-on instruction in pleasure.
"I loved working with Holly Randall. She really is a legend. Just watching her process was amazing. It's a whole different experience when you are on a Holly Randall set," gushed Joseline Kelly. "It's really the attention to detail I think that makes Holly Randall's work stand out. Some things the average person wouldn't even notice, but that doesn't stop Holly from putting in the effort to add them in. If you look really closely at the set you'll see funny things like a diploma from Dr. H. Randall, Ph.D. which is the character India Summer plays in my scene in this movie. I mean it's just funny. Sure most people won't ever notice it but it's probably the one thing that I remember most. It still makes me giggle thinking back to that day on set."

Hougang United need a reprieve quickly as they go into their fourth match of the 2018 Singapore Premier League season without a win.
They will not have it easy when they entertain Balestier Khalsa at the Hougang Stadium on Sunday with Marko Kraljevic's charges looking sharp in recent games.
BACKGROUND: It has been a slow start to the season for ambitious Hougang, who find themselves at the bottom of the table with just one point from their opening three matches.
After bouncing back from their opening 2-0 away loss to Young Lions with a 1-1 home draw against Warriors FC, the Cheetahs proceeded to fall to a heavy 4-0 away defeat to title-chasing Tampines Rovers FC on Wednesday night.
While there are obvious weaknesses in the Hougang rearguard as witnessed till date, the more glaring deficiencies for Philippe Aw's side lie in attack – with their only goal this season coming from the penalty spot.
The Cheetahs do have good local attacking talents like Fareez Farhan, Shahfiq Ghani and Iqbal Hussain at their disposal. However having lost playmakers Fumiya Kogure and Azhar Sairudin in the off-season, they lack a player who can deliver the killer pass in the final third.
Nonetheless Hougang vice-captain Fabian Kwok is confident that the Cheetahs' class of 2018 has what it takes to work out a winning formula.
"We have a young team with lots of potential. During our pre-season matches, we do see a connection when we go forward to attack," the 29-year-old told FOX Sports Asia. "Now it's a matter of having the confidence to keep going at it and I believe the goals will come gradually.
Next up for Hougang is a tough clash against Balestier – a side who are on a roll after winning their past two matches.
Kraljevic's side dispatched Young Lions 3-1 at home and edged Geylang International FC 1-0 away to recover from two opening losses against Home United FC (1-3) and Albirex Niigata FC (S) (0-1).
Foreign attacking imports Vedran Mesec and Keegan Linderboom have already opened their accounts for the Tigers as they currently sit in fifth – level on points with Tampines, Brunei DPMM FC and Young Lions.
It may still be early days, but all signs are pointing towards a much more positive campaign for Balestier after two consecutive seasons in the lower echelons of the table. In 2017, they won just five matches and scored only 17 en route to finishing seventh.
Another plus point for Balestier so far has been Kraljevic's willingness to blood in rookies – with the likes of Afiq Salman Tan, Noor Akid Nordin, Fariz Faizal and Sharin Majid all getting game time.
The standout ought to be Shaqi Sulaiman, who has impressed with his sturdy performances at centre-back. The 19-year-old is looking forward to take on his old employers on Sunday night.
"It's a bittersweet moment because both coach Philippe and coach Robin (Chitrakar – Hougang's head of youth (Centre of Excellence)) have helped me in my development," said the former Hougang Prime League player.
Tampines Rovers Football Club continued their good home form in the Great Eastern-Hyundai Singapore Premier League with a 4-0 victory over Hougang United Football Club (HGFC) on Wednesday.
TEAM NEWS: Hougang will continue to miss the services of Jordan Chan who is recovering from a shoulder operation, while French-Italian forward Antoine Viterale and first-choice goalkeeper Khairulhin Khalid remain doubtful after their recent injuries.
In contrast, Balestier are in a clean bill of health for this one.
The season has not gone to plan so far for Iqbal, who is now the focal point of Hougang's attack following Pablo Rodriguez's departure. Nonetheless the 24-year-old is a special talent with nifty dribbling skills and has a powerful left-footed shot in his locker. Do expect him to go all out in his game to break his duck for the season.
It is always tough to follow up on an impressive individual campaign but Hazzuwan seemed to have carried where he left off. The 2017 Young Player of the Year has been the spark in the Tigers' attack in their last two games and he will be looking to repeat what he did at Hougang Stadium last November. It was his coolly-struck penalty which brought his side a 1-0 win in their final game of the season.
Hougang midfielder Fabian Kwok: "What's done is done, now we need to learn from our mistakes and do better the next time round. The spirit in the dressing room is building up and I sense that we'll put up a tougher fight in our upcoming games.
Balestier defender Shaqi Sulaiman: "The seniors and coaching staff have helped me a lot to build my confidence during training and to bring it into my game. I'm happy to be playing alongside (Sheikh Abdul) Hadi in defence because he commands and communicates very well. On my right side, there's Fadli (Kamis) who also guides me during the game and makes it easier for me.

Q: Linq Query Syntax and Complex Where Conditions I want to use a Linq to Objects query to select certain members from a list based on fairly complex selection criteria (for simplification represented here as return true :-)
Using the Where extension method, this works just fine:
    var matches = (from wm in Members
                   select wm).Where(p =>
                   {
                       return true;
                   });

However, when I attempt to do the same thing using the query syntax:
    var matches2 = (from wm in Members
                    where (p =>
                    {
                        return true;
                    })
                   select wm);

The compiler objects

Cannot convert lambda expression to type 'bool' because it is not
  a delegate type

What is going on here behind the scenes, and how can I use a lamda expression with the query syntax?

A: your query gets translated to something like:
Members.Where(member=> p=>{return true;});

...which doesn't compile because (warning: technical errors probably be here) Where() expects a parameter of type Func<TSource, bool>. You are giving it a parameter that would get converted to type Func<TSource, Func<???, bool>>. The error is telling you that a lambda expression cannot be converted to a bool, because lambda expressions can only be converted to delegate types (e.g. Func<...>, and bool is not a delegate type.(/end bumbling explanation)
In query syntax, whatever you put in your where clause goes after the => in the lambda expression for the generated Where() method call. Note that your first snippet can be rewritten as:
Members.Where(p=>true);

which is equivalent to:
from m in members
where true
select m;

if you really need a lambda with a statement block in it you can do:
var lam = (Member m)=> {return true;};
from m in members
where lam(m)
select m;

or to inline it:
from m in members
where ((Func<Member, bool>)(Member m)=> {return true;})(m)
select m;

or you can use a regular method instead of an anonymous one:
public bool DoStuff(int i)
{
    return true;
}

...

from m in members
where DoStuff(m)
select m;

France Alleges Turkey Harassed Warship, Ankara Denies
'Cirkin' reportedly transited Bosphorus towards the Black Sea en route from Misrata in Libya to Turkey's Samsun on June 17 (image via Twitter)
Turkey has repulsed French claims of harassing one of its warships on a NATO mission on Wednesday.
"It is completely untrue. If one takes into account that the French warship was refuelled by our side before the alleged incident, it is clear how inappropriate and intentional the allegation is," a senior Turkish military official said, following the incident.
Earlier that day, the French defense ministry official had accused the Turkish navy of "harassing a French warship on a NATO mission."
France suspected Turkey's Tanzanian-flagged Cirkin cargo ship to be smuggling arms into Libya. French officials claimed that the vessel had switched off its tracking system, masked its ID number, and refused to say where it was going.
The Turkish military official told Reuters the French warship did not establish communications with the Turkish ship during the incident.

Born somewhere between endless sunny days that slowly turned to balmy July nights, Toronto indie rock band MIDDAY SWIM (David Mitchel – Vocals/Guitar, Sebastian Shinwell – Lead Guitar/Vocals, Craig Saltz – Bass/Vocals, Stephan Ermel – Keyboards/Vocals, and Max Trefler – Drums) formed a little over a year ago at a lakefront cabin in the backwoods of Ontario. "There is something about losing yourself in summertime's eternal warmth that often breeds inspiration," says bassist Craig Saltz. "That cabin, which has been in David's family for 30 years, is a special place for us. At the time, we really didn't know what we were working on; we were just sort of doing it. David had written 10 or 12 songs on his own and so we were just up there working them out, enjoying each other's company, going swimming in the middle of the day, and having camp fires at night; it was a really easygoing time. When we finally mixed the first song and everyone took a step back to hear it, it was immediately clear that we were going to drop everything else and do this thing together."
Now, as they gear up to release their second EP later this year, MIDDAY SWIM are poised once again to share their radiant, feel good brand of indie rock with the masses. The band braved the Great Canadian North one more time this past winter in order to finish recording their second EP – a one-song collaboration with long-time Broken Social Scene producer David Newfeld.
Since their inception in the summer of 2014, MIDDAY SWIM has picked up quite a buzz around the Toronto indie scene. Their self-titled EP, was exclusively premiered on MTV Drops, and has been played on 102.1 The Edge, Stingray Music, Sirius XM as well as college radio across the country. The album has received nods from some of Canada's most widely respected music outlets and critics, including Exclaim! and Alan Cross; Their single "Summer Eyes" was added to heavy rotation on Indie 88.1 and climbed steadily before peaking at #74 on the Canadian Alt Rock charts. The song also charted on the CBC Radio 3 Top 20 Chart, coming in at #12. Midday Swim was also a finalist in 102.1 The Edge's 'Next Big Thing Contest' last summer.
Captured fully on the band's wistful debut single, "Summer Eyes," MIDDAY SWIM harnesses the sort of lush pop melodies, hard-hitting rhythm section, and dreamy atmospheric guitars that echo the likes of Wilco, Broken Social Scene, and Beach House. A video for the song, which features the band engaged in a colourful paint war, was directed by award-winning L.A. filmmaker Noam Kroll, and positions the everyday banality of the 9-5 life against the notion that we don't search too far for a little fun and that summer is much more than a season; it's a state of mind.
The band's second single, "We Got The Feeling," which was released in early February, and more recently on Sept. 27th, was featured on 102.1 The Edge 'The Drop', expresses a deep longing for the fleeting comforts of young love and the kind of total freedom that only exists out on the open road. Though aware that these tiny wonders often dissipate with time, the song seeks to celebrate them while we still can.
Although they appear to be the new kids on the block, the members of MIDDAY SWIM – many of whom have known each other since as far back as high school – are no rookies to the music game. Drummer Max Trefler's former band whosarmy, won CBC's COVER ME CANADA in 2011, secured a top 10 single on the iTunes Rock Charts, and shared the stage with the likes of Blue Rodeo, Hawksley Workman, and Yukon Blonde, while bassist Craig Saltz has scored music for well over 30 films. Front-man David Krygier-Baum is a music educator, keyboardist Stephan Ermel is a classically trained pianist whose extensive theatre background has seen him perform a number of sold out one man shows, while lead guitarist and songwriter Sebastian Shinwell, who formerly fronted Toronto band CRHYMES and also currently plays in The Holy Gasp, is the cornerstone of this band's dreamy and much yearned for sound.
"Traveling the Great White North in search of calmer surroundings and that idyllic untouched landscape to inspire your sound, seems like something of a rite of passage for a Canadian indie band," says keyboardist Stephan Ermel. "But really, I think it's about camaraderie," he adds. "I have always been compelled by stories of bands that have been together for years, are aware of each other's strengths, weaknesses, and habits, and are able to bring out the best in each other, but I think that those moments of true creative ingenuity are made possible only after you've become a family of sorts. We hope that we've struck upon those kinds of moments with this new record, because creating it has confirmed for all of us that the collaborative effort that being in a band demands goes far beyond what any one individual can do on their own."

Ким Чхэк (, также нередко Ким Чак; 14 августа 1903, город Сонджин, уезд Хаксон, провинция Хамгён-Пукто, Корея — 31 января 1951) — северокорейский политический и военный деятель, ближайший соратник Ким Ир Сена.

Биография

Родился в бедной крестьянской семье. С юношеских лет принимал активное участие в борьбе против японских колонизаторов. В 1925 году вступил в Коммунистическую партию Кореи. После захвата японскими милитаристами северо-восточного Китая в 1931 году — один из руководителей корейского партизанского движения в северной Маньчжурии.

С 1940 по 1941 год — участник хабаровского совещания вместе с Чжоу Баочжуном и другими партизанскими командирами. В ходе данного совещания впервые познакомился и близко сошелся с Ким Ир Сеном, действовавшим во главе корейского подразделения в южной Маньчжурии. Большую часть 1942 и 1943 годов командовал малым отрядом на занятой японцами территории, где вел боевые операции в том числе после создания 14 подразделения 88-й отдельной стрелковой бригады РККА. В 1944—1945 годах жил в СССР.

После освобождения Кореи в августе 1945 года и до 1946 года — начальник Пхеньянского военно-политического училища, заместитель председателя Народного комитета Северной Кореи и одновременно начальник департамента обороны. С сентября 1948 года — заместитель председателя Кабинета министров и министр промышленности КНДР. Член Политсовета ЦК Трудовой партии Кореи. В 1950 году, после начала войны в Корее, был назначен членом Военного комитета КНДР и командующим фронтом. Позже был смещен, как ответственный за поражение при обороне Инчхона. Умер 31 января 1951 года. Похоронен на мемориальном кладбище революционеров. Есть недоказанное мнение, что его смерть стала результатом борьбы за власть, и Ким Чхэк умер не от сердечного приступа, как было объявлено официально, а в результате газового отравления.

Ким Чхэк является национальным героем в КНДР. Его именем названо множество объектов, в том числе город Сонджин после его смерти был переименован в Кимчхэк. Политехнический университет имени Ким Чхэка в Пхеньяне, Сталелитейный завод им. Ким Чхэка и Народный стадион им. Ким Чхэка в Кимчхэке также названы в его честь.

CFP: Sacred Lands and Spiritual Landscapes: Cosmography of the Pagan Soul
Keynote Speaker: Ronald Hutton
We welcome papers that explore the following questions:
In today's post-modern, urbanized world, where everything is a commodity, how and where do Pagans find their sacred places? How should we protect and maintain these sites? In colonized worlds, how do we avoid the appropriation of these lands? If Goddess is immanent in nature, what makes some places more sacred than others? How is our spirituality shaped by the land and our relationship with the land shaped by our spirituality?
Proposals of up to 1000 words are due by January 1, 2013 and may be uploaded at http://www.cherryhillseminary.org/blog/announcements/call-for-papers/

Documents and other information taken from Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan confirm that the long, costly U.S. campaign against al Qaeda has been very effective at killing its top leadership and disrupting its ability to attack the U.S., a top White House counterterrorism official said Wednesday.
As we approach the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, as Americans seek to understand where we stand a decade later, we need look no further than that compound where bin Laden spent his final days. There he was, holed-up for years, behind high prison-like walls, isolated from the world. But even he understood the sorry state of his organization and its ideology.

RBS noted for top finance program in NYC area
03/10/15 4:11am David Tadros
Photo by Edwin Gano |
Photo Illustration | The Rutgers Business School was recognized by The Financial Engineer as one of the best Master of Financial Analysis programs in the New York metropolitan area in 2015.
Not even a year after the first class was admitted to the Rutgers Business School's Master of Financial Analysis program, the program was recognized by The Financial Engineer as one of the top finance programs in the New York metropolitan area.
The nation's top universities recognize The Financial Engineer as the most comprehensive ranking system of United States Financial Masters programs, taking various factors into consideration such as GMAT scores, undergraduate GPAs, acceptance rates and starting salaries, according to The Financial Engineer's website.
Coming in at No. 32 in the nation from a total of 94 profiled universities, Rutgers ranks as the No. 1 public program in the New York metropolitan area and the second overall program in the area under Princeton, according to The Financial Engineer.
The year-long program that was designed specifically to help prepare business students for the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exam, has 28 current students and the amount of applicants has more than doubled since last year, said program lead Dan Weaver.
"There is a lot of demand for this program from international students," Weaver said. "If you look at the percentage of students that took the CFA last year, 45 percent were from east and south Asia. So there is a tremendous demand for the CFA."
Weaver, a Rutgers Ph.D graduate and professor for more than a decade, said he does not agree with The Financial Engineer's decision to include the program in its rankings.
"We're a brand new program, we shouldn't be ranked already," Weaver said.
The seasoned professor and writer of more than 25 published articles in the field said he agrees with the criteria The Financial Engineer takes into consideration for their rankings, but does not feel the University's program has enough experience to be considered.
Reshma Shetty, a student and career liaison for the Master of Financial Analysis program, said she feels proud to be part of a program that is ranked so highly and feels the recognition will not only boost the amount of applicants but also help students who pass the CFA when returning to their home countries.
"If students go back to their home countries, this will carry a lot of weight, especially if they try to go into the field of corporate finance or if they want to be financial analysts," Shetty said. "It improves their employment prospects."
Although she is happy to see the University recognized, Shetty said she agrees with Weaver that the program's inclusion in The Financial Engineer's rankings may be a bit preemptive.
"It takes time for people to go out and achieve something," Shetty said. "I think the program was considered because of the reputation the Rutgers Business School has and because of the strong curriculum. It covers a lot."
Shetty said she plans to work in the cooperate sector following graduation and feels that the program covers many areas in finance, so many that it opens doors for students looking to break into HR, finance and accounting.
"I feel like this degree will let me go out into many fields," Shetty said. "I would say mostly in financial and accounting. Most of them will ask you for a degree in finance."
Undergraduate business students looking to further their education were also excited to see Rutgers ranked so highly, as the ranking adds to their possibility of applying to the Rutgers master's program.
Justin Melendez, a Rutgers Business School senior, said he feels it is always great to see Rutgers recognized to detract from the common misconceptions about the University.
"Growing up in New Jersey, I have heard from many residents that Rutgers is a 'party school' or that everyone gets in, but when you look at the rankings and what people who don't live in New Jersey say about it, you realize that (Rutgers) is a great school," Melendez said.
Melendez said the chances he will apply to the Rutgers master's program has increased since the ranking announcement and questions why others wouldn't consider applying.
"I've heard from several people that Rutgers could have gone Ivy League before, but every time I see something like this it makes me wonder why I would apply to any other college for a degree," Melendez said.
Other undergraduates shared Melendez' sentiments. Zakaullah Hijazi, a Rutgers Business School junior, said he is excited to be a student in such a highly-ranked school and is glad to see an in-state school being recognized.
"It's always asked upon those seeking a master's degree to reach out to a top-tier school, and most times that top-tier school is expensive and distant," Hijazi said. "The Rutgers Master of Financial Analysis program offers students a top tier education close to home at a reasonable cost. I'm proud to hear that the Rutgers Master in Financial Analysis is ranked No. 32 in the nation."

Q: using index match with sum if I need to link up a sumif() with an index match (i'm guessing here) but don't really know where to start.
Basically i a table with different classes of pets, their species and quantity. there are 3 stores. I need an output where i can get the quantity of each species from each store dynamically.
data table:
"A1"                Pet Stores
Species  Class      a   b   c
cat      Fluffy1    1   0   0
cat      Fluffy2    3   0   0
cat      Fluffy3    5   7   1
cat      Fluffy4    6   0   7
dog      Barky1     7   6   9
dog      Barky2     1   3   9
dog      Barky3     0   2   8
dog      Barky4     0   2   3
fish     Swimmy1    0   0   0
fish     Swimmy2    1   3   0
fish     Swimmy3    0   2   3
fish     Swimmy4    0   0   0

Output:
Pet Store   a   <--change this
cat         15  <--output
dog         8   <--output
fish        1   <--output

right now my formula for "cat" is =SUMIF($A$3:$A$14,A17,$C$3:$C$14). however, it only looks down the 1 column that i've set. how do i change it such that it searches for the "Pet Store" and returns sum of the respective column?

A: How about this:
Formula in cell H3 copied down is
=SUMIF($A$2:$A$13,G3,INDEX($C$2:$E$13,,MATCH(H$2,$C$1:$E$1,0)))

A: Slightly shorter that @teylyn's version:
=SUMIF(A$2:A$13,A16,OFFSET(C$2:C$13,,CODE(B$15)-97))

but less versatile as it relies on the shop names being coded (which however is as in the example and makes sense for column label purposes):

However my preference would be for a PivotTable:


Need to reach me about a speaking engagement? Are you with the media and need a source of marketing leadership or innovation? Great. You are on the right page.
Need to get in touch with us about applying to join our CMO community or attend our conferences? Check out our other website.
Still here? OK, that's cool.
I want you to know this: I get a lot of emails. Those messages contain lots of requests. While I wish I could help everyone, I just can't.
1. Research first, then ask.
Do you want to interview me for your book or feature me on a podcast?
First, thank you. Second, chances are good that I may have published something about that topic in the past.
You will find my articles and over 115 videos across multiple outlets, such as FastCompany, ForbesCMO, Marketing Waves, and HuffingtonPost. So before you press SEND, please peruse a few.
2. Be concise and specific.
I love emails containing 4 or fewer sentences. Don't be shy at stating your request early in the email message. Please do not send me 17 links and 3 file attachments. I won't read them unless you are one of my closest friends, clients, or relatives.
Here's an example: Are you hosting a conference in London next November for senior software executives? Tell me about the audience, date, time, and why you think I might be a great fit.
3. Be aware of things where I cannot be helpful.
–advice on how to publish your book (unless you are a client, or want to schedule a "pick Lisa's brain" paid session). You can learn about our brainstorming sessions and offerings on our SERVICES page.
–requests to make copies of my book chapters (Yes. That has happened too).
Tell us how we can help. We will return your message within 24 hours, Eastern US time.
Use the button below to pay for Lisa's services.
Enter the amount you want to pay without any commas or periods (e.g. 1500) in the Enter Invoice Amount box.
You will immediately receive a receipt of payment in your email inbox.

Bella Robinson's February Newsletter
Here are some of the latest updates on sex worker liberation from our own Vice Presidential candidate!
Bella Robinson
Meet the country's future vice president: This woman's finger could be second on the nuclear trigger.
Help us fight back against the Adult Entertainment Performance Tax Act!
This month, we're opposing bill RI – S0096, also known as the Adult Entertainment Performance Tax Act. This bill was introduced on January 16, 2019, and it imposes a $2 tax for admission to adult entertainment businesses. The funds from this tax will go to the Attorney General's office to "combat human trafficking, and pay to test rape kits"
It is no coincidence that this bill was introduced less than two weeks after the Foxy Lady reopened by the RI supreme court. This tax is nothing more than an attempt at retaliation by the state against sex workers. This bill attacks sex worker establishments by forcing them to pay to combat sex trafficking, for which they are not culpable.
We'll continue to mobilize against this legislation. For updates, sign on to our petition here.
Resource Updates
We are proud to support 90 incarcerated sex workers through our mail-based case management program. This includes tracking release dates, creating release plans, and connecting workers to re-entry services that have been vetted as sex worker-friendly. If you know sex worker who is incarcerated and could benefit from case management, reach out to us at info@coyoteri.org
COYOTE continues to maintain a support line to provide support for sex workers with community needs or who are in crisis. For COYOTE support services, call (401) 525-8757.
As a member of the AMOR (Alianza para Movilizar Nuestra Resistencia/Alliance to Mobilize Our Resistance) network, we encourage individuals to share the AMOR support line information. The AMOR Support Line, (401) 675-1414, is a 24-hour multilingual (currently English & Spanish) line that connects community members to AMOR's network of services, including comprehensive mental health care, legal support, court accompaniment, community support, transportation, and interpretation. Read more here.
Support COYOTE's street outreach program
We're supporting sex workers by continuing our "rescue free" outreach, which provides hygiene supplies, condoms, and harm reduction supplies (such as Naloxone, fentanyl test strips, and unused syringes) to the community. Our program is entirely volunteer run and we depend on donations. You can support us by purchasing items on our Amazon wish list or donating through our website. If you would like to volunteer directly for outreach, contact info@coyoteri.org.
COYOTE to celebrate International Sex Workers Rights Day on March 3rd
On March 3rd, we will be holding a community healing event for sex workers in Rhode Island. The day's history traces to 2001, when over 25,000 sex workers, organized by Calcutta-based Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Committee, gathered in India for a festival despite efforts from prohibitionist groups who tried to prevent it taking place. If you would like to attend, contact info@coyoteri.org.
On February 7th, Bella will be presenting on behalf of COYOTE at the "Moderated Discussion on Sex Work & Implications for Solutions" panel at the Human Trafficking Symposium at Texas Christian University. Read more here.
Join AMOR for Valentine's Day. "AMOR is excited to share what it has been up to this past year, what projects we are working on for this year, and how you can be a part of our work. Please join us on Valentine's Day for a wholesome night full of friends, food, music, and a raffle to celebrate community resistance."
Read this groundbreaking new study on how Craigslist reduces violence against women from economist Scott Cunningham.
Read our essay submission, "Global Implications of FOSTA," which won third place in Slixa's After FOSTA essay competition! The essay was written by COYOTE volunteers Meghan, June, and Jackie. We are grateful for the $2000 prize which will go toward supporting COYOTE programs.
As always, if you'd like to support our work you can find a link to donate on our website. For volunteering opportunities, contact info@coyote.org.
Please consider supporting us with as little as $1 per month via our Washington Babylon Patreon account. Every little bit helps and will keep us delivering great coverage

Q: Ruby syntax highlighting in PyCharm? I love PyCharm, but can't seem to find a way to enable Ruby syntax highlighting.  I know about RubyMine, but I'm not going to purchase a license just for this basic functionality.  Is it possible to add Ruby syntax highlighting in PyCharm?

A: You can either create a new file type in Settings/File Types, add .rb as registered pattern there, and define your own syntax highlighting rules, or search for existing textmate bundles for Ruby files in the web, import them and use for syntax highlighting - see http://blog.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/2013/05/textmate-bundles-in-phpstorm/ and https://stackoverflow.com/a/16451778/2000323 for more info


AAIC believes that the technological innovations used on projects must have direct benefits to the users, either because the quality of the information is improved, or lower costs are obtained through increased efficiency. Preferably both goals will be attained. AAIC applies this philosophy to all of its projects, whether we are dealing with a sample frame for a country, the design of an image processing laboratory, or setting up pest-monitoring systems.

Q: Jade conditional with select options How to set the option (of select) to selected to match the current language of the page?  Is there a way to inline it and simplify it something like this:
(value="en" #{Locale}==='en' ? ',selected="selected"': '')
I have tried some answers on this site, but they do not seem to work. Thank you.
This is the view:
 if(#{Locale} ==='en')
     option(value="en", selected="selected") #{English}
     option(value="bg") #{Bulgarian}
  else if(#{Locale} === 'bg')
     option(value="en") #{English}
     option(value="bg",selected="selected") #{Bulgarian}

A: Adapted from this answer, you could create a mix-in that handles the logic for you:
mixin lang-option(code, name)
  if (Locale === code)
    option(value=code, selected="selected")= name
  else
    option(value=code)= name

+lang-option('en', English)
+lang-option('bg', Bulgarian)

A: This solution works if you need to parameterize the 'disabled' attribute as well.  Jade will not output attributes that evaluate to false.

//Selects the option when option.value == selectValue
mixin selectOption(option, selectValue)
  option(value=option.value, disabled=option.disabled, selected=(option.value==selectValue))= option.label

ERP Assessment Report
ERP Software for Today's Global Digital Marketing and Ad Agencies
One of the recurring points we've continued to stress for today's leading digital marketing and ad agencies is the importance of choosing an effective Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution. More than ever, ERP has become the backbone of successful agencies.
Indeed, ERP solutions handle an array of tasks, including project and resource management, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools, metrics and analytics, revenue recognition, expense management, billing, and Work-in-Progress (WiP) management. Obtaining comprehensive visibility into each of these areas has become paramount for agencies spanning the entire ad landscape. How, then, can today's agencies effectively utilize such an array of features and functionality?
Here we'll look at both ERP integration and global features.
More than isolated functionality, the true value of an effective ERP solution inheres in its ability to integrate a number of features into a single solution accessible at a central location. This saves countless work hours and revenue because it streamlines and consolidates processes that would otherwise require two or more applications while relying on imprecise human intervention. Such streamlining is important for today's digital marketing and ad agencies because it saves valuable time and money.
A truly integrated ERP solution combines multiple interrelated parts into a single application, providing a centralized hub for important projects. This integration cuts down on the potential for human error and, hence, reduces costly time wastes that can increase over time. Managers and executives also gain important performance visibility across these areas as well.[1] But the need for such integration is only one characteristic of today's ad agencies. So, besides integration what are some of the other concerns when looking for an effective ERP solution?
Another important aspect of today's agencies is global reach. More than ever, ad agencies are embracing the demand to expand across international waters. Many start with an additional domestic office. Others expand further to establish additional regional bases, or even open up offices in other continents. Signaling a critical step in an agency's trajectory, such growth can lead to subsequent expansions and further increases in revenue and influence.
Indeed, many agencies today have been catching onto indicators that encourage expansion. Warc announced recently that, excluding Africa and the Middle East, ad industry growth is expected between 2.6% and 8.4% this year. And the entire global spending will hit around $572 billion.[2] So how does this affect ERP software choices?
This means that agencies today should be concerned—at least those concerned with their future—with an ERP solution that actively supports global operations and international compatibility. Along these lines, then, a truly global ERP system should reduce the workload required for a number of tasks related to operations internationally. Taxation and financial regulations, for instance, change from one region to the next. You'll want an ERP solution that can address such challenges.
Specific Global Challenges
Automation and programmability can further enhance such international features. "A strong global ERP system should handle multiple tax schedules, be updated with the latest regulatory requirements, and automatically update currency conversion rates," Oracle writes. "And because such systems can generate receipts and invoices in multiple languages, your customers can be assured that the documentation and information they receive always reflects the latest tax and/or currency updates for their location."[3] This allows agencies to scale back human processes and focus on what truly matters: their business.
Integration and global functionality go hand-in-hand. Specifically, an effective ERP solution allows users to query data from any number of locations internationally and integrate learning across operations. Executives and managers can then use various metrics and KPIs displaying data over time for complete visibility into performance. Such information can be output as a graph that visualizes, for instance, revenue for the past two quarters. Visibility into performance data, in this sense, is crucial not only in terms of global reach but also integration.
We've seen then how both integration and global features are crucial for today's digital marketing and ad agencies. With a truly integrated and Global ERP Solution, operations are centralized into a convenient location that can be synchronized seamlessly across time zones. An agency is only as good as its team is, but a truly global and integrated ERP solution brings out the best in an otherwise chaotic and highly competitive agency landscape. Yet at the end of the day, your entire business will doubtless benefit from an effective global ERP solution.

It is always tough to tell how a reliever is doing. Their entire season is a small sample size. The best relievers pitch less than half as many innings as a starting pitcher. So, breaking it down further to one month could be even more foolhardy. One bad outing can ruin a reliever's ERA. Look at Tom Gorzelanny. He had one rough outing in the beginning of the season against the Astros where he gave up six runs, but that one outing is enough to make his 3.64 ERA enough to not fully explain how good and how important Gorzelanny has been to the Nationals bullpen.
Small sample size or not the Nationals bullpen was not good in July. They have the seventh worst bullpen ERA over that time at 4.73. Clippard, H-Rod, and Mattheus all have ERA's over 5.00 while Storen and Stammen both have ERA's in the 4.00. The most innings pitched in July were the 15 1/3 of Stammen but if the Nats bullpen continues to falter like this, things might get even tighter as the Braves are starting to roll.
To show the exact importance of a bullpen when compared to starting pitching and offense the Nats had the third best starters ERA for July at 2.82 and are tied with the Angels for the most runs scored in the month at 132. All of this combined to lead to the Nationals best month of the season despite the outcome of this evening's game. The Nats will either finish the month 17-9 or 18-8 and continue their streak of not having a losing month in the 2012 season.
As far as how the Nats offense has done this season here is a comparison of their stats to league average. Below are two charts the first is NL average for positions and below that is the Nationals average for those positions.
The Nats are well above league average at first base, pitcher, bench, and short stop for the season, around but above league average at third base and center field, are below but around league average at second base, and are below league average for left field and right field. Some of those positions are dragged down by early season struggles though. If Ryan Zimmerman's post cortisone surge were included at third base then the numbers would be much different as would left if Michael Morse had been healthy and playing there all season. As of right now the Nationals have overall above average offense and once Werth and Desmond return they will be above average at as many as seven positions.
That counts on a lot going right and while that has rarely been the case for the Nationals this season their depth has shown. When a line-up consists of as many above average pieces as the Nats does then if one isn't preforming to expecations then someone else will. That is the way it has gone all season for the Nationals and why in the worst month for the Nationals bullpen other parts of the team were able to step up and lead them to their best month of the season so far.

"Okay, I'll Remind You"
A few minutes ago Apple uploaded two new iPhone 4S commercials on its website and official YouTube channel. The ads, as with previous iPhone 4S promotional videos, focus on Siri, and they might just be the best ones about the voice-based assistant yet.
The ads, called "Rock God" and "Road Trip", share a common theme: people talking to their assistant using natural language and a friendly tone, not simply asking a piece of software to execute commands.
In Road Trip, a guy and his girlfriend are organizing a road trip to California. Look at the initial setting: it's cold outside, they're about the get in the car, and they want to get from the cold of East Coast in February to the sunny Santa Cruz in California. The guy asks Siri, and they're on the road. Camera cuts to the guy's face in the car. He's looking for a barbecue in Kansas City. Camera cuts to girl's face in the car. She's looking for a rodeo. Camera changes again, this time the couple doesn't know where they are, and the girl asks "Where are we?", with the look of someone who knows Siri will have an answer. They're in Santa Rosa. Change again. How big is the Grand Canyon? Sure enough, Siri can look that up on Wolfram Alpha or Wikipedia. But then the gas runs out: how about finding a station the guys can walk to? Finally, the ad reaches its climax when our two characters have seemingly reached their destination, or are fairly close, and are looking at the stars. She asks: "What does Orion look like?". Siri displays sky data inline. The video closes with the opposite setting of how it began: sunny California, he's wearing a t-shirt, looking at the horizon, and she's telling Siri like you would do with an old friend -- Remind me to do this again. Siri, with its human-like voice, replies: Okay, I'll remind you.
The second commercial, Rock God, has a more "fun" approach. There's this kid that "has to get a guitar", and he's so excited about it he needs to ask Siri now. Why is he so excited about getting a guitar? What's the story here? Perhaps, I imagine, he has just decided with his friends that it's time to put a band together and start playing. So, Siri gives him location info about stores selling musical instruments, and in the next scene our kid is learning how to play. How do I play London Calling? Whole Lotta Love? How about that chord? Siri displays information on screen. Fairly regular stuff for now. Then the ad changes -- our character is sending a message to Julie and Kate about playing at the garage tonight. Apple's music stops. The kids are playing -- they're doing rock 'n' roll! -- and finish their song. "Call me Rock God", the kid tells Siri, softly.
You see, these aren't just ads. In 30 seconds, we're told stories. In 30 seconds, we are not shown technical features and RAM specifications, we're given real examples of real people we can relate to. We're shown two young people in love with each other that just want to get to California and see the sunset together. We're shown a young boy with a simple dream, playing guitar, yet a dream that's important to him -- something that makes his life worth living and enjoying even for those 30 minutes when he gets his band mates together and nothing else matters. Just music. Call me Rock God.
In 30 seconds, we're shown how technology can make people's lives better. We're reminded, once again, that this industry, this love for the latest gadget, doesn't necessarily have to be about tech specs -- it's the technology married with the liberal arts. It's about playing London Calling with your friends. It's about driving to California with the woman you love and watch the stars just for one night.
He would be proud.

Q: Pandas plot does not overlay I am trying to overlay a stacked bar chart with a line plot as from the example below but only the second plot is shown and cannot understand why.
import pandas as pd
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
df=pd.DataFrame({'yarding, mobile cable yarder on trailer': {1928: 1.4027824821879459e-20, 1924: 3.4365045943961052e-37, 1925: 6.9939032596152882e-30, 1926: 1.0712940173393567e-25, 1927: 8.6539917152671678e-23},
                 'yarding and processing, mobile cable yarder on truck': {1928: 1.1679873528237404e-20, 1924: 2.8613089094435456e-37, 1925: 5.8232768671842113e-30, 1926: 8.9198283644271726e-26, 1927: 7.2055027953028907e-23},
                 'delimbing, with excavator-based processor': {1928: 1.6998969986716558e-20, 1924: 4.1643685881703105e-37, 1925: 8.4752370448040848e-30, 1926: 1.2981979323251926e-25, 1927: 1.0486938381883222e-22}})
df2=pd.Series({1928: 3.0638184091973243e-19, 1924: 7.5056562764093482e-36, 1925: 1.5275356821475311e-28, 1926: 2.3398091372066067e-24, 1927: 1.8901157781841223e-21})

ax=df.plot(kind='bar',stacked=True,legend=False)
df2.plot(kind='line',ax=ax)
plt.show()

A: Line plots plot numerical data against each other.
Bar plots plot numerical data against categorical data. Therefore even if the x values in the bar plot are numbers, the scale on which they are plotted does not correspond to those numbers, but rather to some index.
That means that the x axis scale of a bar plot always goes from 0 to N, where N is the number of bars (Roughly speaking, in reality it's rather -0.5 to N-0.5).
If you now add some values in the range above 1000 to that scale, the bars will shrink until they cannot be seen any more (thus you may think they are not even there).
To circumvent this problem, you may work on two different axes. One for the line plot, one for the bar plot, but have them shared the same y axis.
The following is a possible solution (which is very similar to the solution from Martin, which he has added while I was typing this):
import pandas as pd
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
df=pd.DataFrame({'yarding, mobile cable yarder on trailer': {1928: 1.4027824821879459e-20, 1924: 3.4365045943961052e-37, 1925: 6.9939032596152882e-30, 1926: 1.0712940173393567e-25, 1927: 8.6539917152671678e-23},
                 'yarding and processing, mobile cable yarder on truck': {1928: 1.1679873528237404e-20, 1924: 2.8613089094435456e-37, 1925: 5.8232768671842113e-30, 1926: 8.9198283644271726e-26, 1927: 7.2055027953028907e-23},
                 'delimbing, with excavator-based processor': {1928: 1.6998969986716558e-20, 1924: 4.1643685881703105e-37, 1925: 8.4752370448040848e-30, 1926: 1.2981979323251926e-25, 1927: 1.0486938381883222e-22}})
df2=pd.Series({1928: 3.0638184091973243e-19, 1924: 7.5056562764093482e-36, 1925: 1.5275356821475311e-28, 1926: 2.3398091372066067e-24, 1927: 1.8901157781841223e-21})

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
# optionally make log scale
ax.set_yscale("log", nonposy='clip')
# create shared y axes
ax2 = ax.twiny()
df.plot(kind='bar',stacked=True,legend=False, ax=ax)
df2.plot(kind='line',ax=ax2)
ax2.xaxis.get_major_formatter().set_useOffset(False)
# remove upper axis ticklabels
ax2.set_xticklabels([])
# set the limits of the upper axis to match the lower axis ones
ax2.set_xlim(1923.5,1928.5)
plt.show()

A: You can use ax.twiny() and secondary_y=True as follows:
import pandas as pd
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

df = pd.DataFrame({'yarding, mobile cable yarder on trailer': {1928: 1.4027824821879459e-20, 1924: 3.4365045943961052e-37, 1925: 6.9939032596152882e-30, 1926: 1.0712940173393567e-25, 1927: 8.6539917152671678e-23},
                 'yarding and processing, mobile cable yarder on truck': {1928: 1.1679873528237404e-20, 1924: 2.8613089094435456e-37, 1925: 5.8232768671842113e-30, 1926: 8.9198283644271726e-26, 1927: 7.2055027953028907e-23},
                 'delimbing, with excavator-based processor': {1928: 1.6998969986716558e-20, 1924: 4.1643685881703105e-37, 1925: 8.4752370448040848e-30, 1926: 1.2981979323251926e-25, 1927: 1.0486938381883222e-22}})
df2 = pd.Series({1928: 3.0638184091973243e-19, 1924: 7.5056562764093482e-36, 1925: 1.5275356821475311e-28, 1926: 2.3398091372066067e-24, 1927: 1.8901157781841223e-21})

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax2 = ax.twiny()
df.plot(kind='bar', stacked=True, legend=False, ax=ax)
df2.plot(kind='line', secondary_y=True)
plt.show()

This would give you:

You will probably need to tweak the labelling to what you need, for example:
ax2.get_xaxis().set_visible(False)

A: The underlying problem has already been explained in the answer by ImportanceOfBeingErnest. You can solve it by setting the argument use_index=False in the pandas line plot, which will make the line plot use the same x-axis units as the bar plot. No need for any matplotlib functions:
import pandas as pd    # v 1.1.3

df = pd.DataFrame({'yarding, mobile cable yarder on trailer': {1928: 1.4027824821879459e-20, 1924: 3.4365045943961052e-37, 1925: 6.9939032596152882e-30, 1926: 1.0712940173393567e-25, 1927: 8.6539917152671678e-23},
                   'yarding and processing, mobile cable yarder on truck': {1928: 1.1679873528237404e-20, 1924: 2.8613089094435456e-37, 1925: 5.8232768671842113e-30, 1926: 8.9198283644271726e-26, 1927: 7.2055027953028907e-23},

Bandung spirit
Thread: Bandung spirit
BY M A H I R A L I | 4/22/2015
ON a lazy afternoon a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity, after several decades, to reacquaint myself with University Challenge, a longstanding BBC television presentation that tests the general knowledge of teams from rival institutions. One of the questions raised by the host, Jeremy Paxman, related to the identity of an Indonesian city that gave its name to a significant international conference six decades ago. Neither of the teams, representing Durham University and a Cambridge college, had a clue.
The correct answer was Bandung, but it is hardly surprising that this particular name did not ring a bell. It does not, after all, figure prominently in Western historical accounts of the 1950s. And it is unlikely that the 60th anniversary commemorations in Indonesia this week will substantially alter that status.
Back in the day, though, the African Asian Conference in Bandung attracted attention pretty much across the globe as the first gathering on this scale of leaders mostly from postcolonial states, demonstrating their keenness to establish a framework for cooperation outside the Cold War paradigm.
The heads of state and government who congregated in the Indonesian city represented half of humanity thanks, in large part, to the participation of China and India.
Africa was underrepresented, largely because much of it was still colonised; the most prominent African leader present was Kwame Nkrumah of the Gold Coast, which was yet to emerge as independent Ghana.
The conference had jointly been proposed by Burma, India, Indonesia, Pakistan and Sri Lanl(a, and China`s participation added considerably to its significance. A modus vivendi with Beijing was vitally important to many of China`s neighbours, and it was obvious that mutually respectful relations would need to be established outside the sphere of American hostility to the communist entity. Zhou Enlai went out of his way to be conciliatory, taking ideological critiques in his stride.
In his speech to the closing session of the conference on April 24, the Chinese premier noted that he had, two days earlier, visited his Pakistani counterpart, Muhammad Ali Bogra, who had assured him `that Pakistan did not join the Manila Pact [the US-sponsored entity better known as Seato J for the purpose of opposing China, nor does Pakistan suspect China of having aggressive intentions. Just like that, we have obtained mutual understanding.
`The prime minister of Pakistan even guaranteed that if the US undertook aggressive actions or started a world war, then Pakistan would not participate just as Pakistan and India did not participate in the Korean War.
Back then, Beijing enjoyed warmer ties with New Delhi than with Karachi; the tables turned some years later, after a border dis-pute between India and China sparked hostilities that soured the relationship for decades. It could certainly be argued, meanwhile, that the $46bn Chinese investment windfall President Xi Jinping brought to Pakistan on his way to the 60th anniversary commemorations in Indonesia reflects elements of the often elusive Bandung spirit.
Back in 1955, the conference owed a proportion of its prestige to the presence of India`s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, an internationally respected paragon of neutrality. Other key participants included Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, Josip Broz Tito of Yugoslavia (presumably as an observer), Ho Chi Minh from newly liberated North Vietnam, and the host nation`s president, Sukarno.
Opposition to colonialism and racism were key themes of the conference, which eventually adopted a 10-point resolution incorporating the Panchasheela, or the five principles of peaceful coexistence, which Nehru in par-ticular considered crucial to mutually respectful relations between countries.
Not all the nations represented at Bandung were able to live up to the ideal for long, but the conference nonetheless sowed the seeds for the Non-Aligned Movement (thatemerged shortly afterwards, with Nehru, Nasser and Tito as its leading lights. The value of the counterbalance that NAM provided to the Cold War may have been dubious, but it nonetheless succeeded in periodically parading the possibility of an alternative to a mutually destructive superpower confrontation.
While the US was officially less than amused by Bandung`s potential as a Third World declaration of independence, several American non-white organisations paid close attention to the conference proceedings, and Malcolm X cited it as an ideology-transcending model for African-American cooperation on the civil rights front. The world has changed much in the intervening decades. A new Cold War looms, even as holdovers from the last one continue to seek paths of resolution.
There can be little doubt that much of what is recorded in Indonesia this week where representatives from 77 states are marking the anniversary of the 1955 conference will be rhetoric. Should any of the gathered leaders sincerely recognise, though, that key elements of the Bandung spirit remain worthy of respect and perhaps even emulation, the anniversary could possibly exceed expectations.

Minecraft for the Xbox 360 breaks sales records
30 October 2014 10 May 2012 by MMO ATK
The Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition was released on yesterday and easily broke many sales records according to statements from Microsoft and Mojang's Notch on Thursday.
Not only has the block-filled sandbox title broken Xbox LIVE Arcade sales records but it was also profitable after just one hour of release. "Saw the official sales numbers for the first 24 hours of Minecraft Xbox 360, and it's very good," tweeted Markus "Notch" Persson. "Profitable in an hour."
Microsoft later released a statement saying that Minecraft broke day one sales record on Xbox LIVE Arcade. The game was released as part of the Arcade NEXT promotion that also saw Trials Evolution break sales records in just 24 hours.
A quick look at the leaderboards for Minecraft currently show over 450,000 entries for the game. Given that the game costs 1600 MS Points ($20), this adds up to a lot of cash. This has turned into quite a profitable release for Microsoft, Mojang and 4J Studios who was responsible for porting the game to the Xbox 360.

On June 16th Ramsey Coote Instruments will relocate to a new facility. The address details will be: 18 Fonceca St, Mordialloc Vic 3195 Australia and phone is +61 3 95800522.
It has been a very interesting and exciting time for Ramsey Coote Instruments during the past six months. I can't believe the last update here was in July and I am sure that I am not the only one thinking where has the year gone!! It is always a good idea to look at achievements and during this tough economic time we seem to be getting on with our business of helping practitioners by manufacturing and servicing our products to help children become dry at night. We will be closing from 21st December 2012 to 21st January 2013 so please send your repairs or orders in prior to this date or after the 21st January.
In August and November we attended meetings in New Zealand. At the first meeting, the Primary Healthcare Nurses meeting in Hamilton, and in Palmerston North was the Paediatric Society meeting where one of our clients presented an abstract on their bedwetting practice in the community. We attended the combined IUGA and Continence Foundation of Australia Meeting in Brisbane and unfortunately the program was focussed more on the surgical aspects rather than the usual blend of information and discussion that suited our clients, also very limited information for those helping children. This is disappointing as there is limited opportunity for us to hear up to date information that relates to every day clinical practice. In October Ramsey Coote had a stand at the American Academy of Pediatrics meeting in New Orleans, USA. Again there was lots of interest in our products and we are discussing the opportunity of a study with one of our contacts there.
Research and evidence is the name of the game in today's clinical practice so we are delighted to be a recipient of a voucher program run by our state government that will help support the analysis of a project titled, "Review of Bed Wetting Treatment Practices in Children Using the Bell and Pad Treatment within Hospitals, Community Continence Clinics and Private Practice." This will be one of the largest analysis undertaken on bedwetting treatment and the outcomes will show how effective the bell and pad system is along with how the treatment is conducted so I am sure that we will all learn new information that will help the clinical practice world wide. It will provide up to date evidence rather than rely on older review articles.
We look forward to a happy, healthy and prosperous 2013 for all our colleagues, clients and users. If you would like more information about any of our products please contact us.
