ARway Corp. Launches Breakthrough Computer Vision Enhanced Wayfinding Technology
Global Image Recognition Market Size Reached US$ 30 Billion
Arway Corp (NASDAQ:ARWYF / in Canada: ARWY)
We believe that Image Access Point technology is game-changing and expect that it will only accelerate the adoption of our tech with new customers."
— Evan Gappelberg -CEO
MENLO PARK, CALIFORNIA, USA, January 25, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ARway Corporation ("ARway'' or the "Company") (CSE: ARWY), (OTC: ARWYF) (FSE: E65) is disrupting the Augmented Reality Wayfinding market with a no-code, no beacon spatial computing platform enabled by visual marker tracking. ARway is pushing the envelope of what's possible by launching the Company's new Image Access Point technology. Image recognition and tracking for localization and wayfinding is newly developed technology that uses computer vision to trigger from a brand image or logo. Developers can now pre-select which images will serve as AR triggers, also known as Image Access Points. The Company plans to file and application to have this technology patented in Q1, 2023.
ARway Corp. believes that this breakthrough technology has significant revenue implications in advertising and adds to ARway's value proposition, transcending from a wayfinding tool into an advertising platform which activates off of brand logos.
Image Access Point technology allows smartphones to utilize advanced Computer Vision to recognize 2D images, activating an augmented reality (AR) map and experiences linked to that specific location. By using advancedcomputer vision technology, it can detect and augment images, providing a seamless and engaging experience for users.

The global image recognition market size reached US$ 30.0 Billion in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 76.5 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 16.88% during 2021-2027.
Evan Gappelberg, CEO of ARway commented, "This technology offers a new and substantial revenue driver for ARway by providing interactive experiences and advertising opportunities, increasing foot traffic to specific areas or products. As a Company, we are committed to staying at the bleeding edge of AR technology and bringing innovative solutions to our customers. We believe that Image Access Point technology is game-changing and expect that it will only accelerate the adoption of our tech with new customers. He continued, "By 2027, the market for image recognition technology will be worth $76 Billion, and so once again we are positioning our Company at the forefront of yet another multi-billion dollar decade long mega-trend." Previously, ARway experiences could only be accessed by scanning QR codes, but with this new technology, any 2D image such as posters, logos, ad banners, etc can now serve as a trigger. This is particularly powerful for brands with a strong presence as it enables them to use their own brand logos and ads as entry points into the real world metaverse, positioning their brand as a leader in innovation.
Industries and markets that can benefit from this technology include retail and shopping malls, sports stadiums, airports, hospitals, advertising, events and trade shows, art galleries and museums, entertainment, hospitality and more. One example of how it can be used is by implementing a store promotion ad banner as an Image Access Point. When scanned, it triggers an AR wayfinding path that guides shoppers directly to the store with the promotion. This not only helps shoppers navigate the store but also increases
the chances of them visiting the promoted store, thus increasing the likelihood of sales.
Image Access Point technology can also meet a variety of needs for customers. It can increase brand recognition, engagement and interaction by using existing 2D visual content as Image Access Points. It can increase the rate of engagement with the ad or product displayed in the Image Access Point. It can also utilize existing 2D visual content to expand map access, resulting in more foot traffic to POIs in the map. Reusing existing 2D visual content as Image Access Points can save money, time, and resources otherwise spent on creating new QR codes. Additionally, it can scale map success by inviting more serendipitous visitors who discover the 2D image is a portal to an AR map.
Software Development Kit ARway Corp. recently announced a significant upgrade to its spatial computing Software Developer Kit (SDK) with the release of version 2.0. Launching the SDK and its latest updates contributes to the expansion of ARway as a major player in the spatial computing and wayfinding market.
The launch of version 2.0 SDK marks the completion of the last major component of the AR wayfinding and spatial computing platform. The full ARway platform offering consists of the ARway app - for spatial mapping, The Creator Portal - for content management and analytics , and The ARwayKit SDK - for custom apps and integrations. The ARway SDK is being offered as a SaaS platform or can be used in limited ways for free with the ARway watermark.
Shares for Services The Company also announces today that in order to manage its cash flow and reduce or possibly eliminate its dependency of raising capital for payroll it has established a new share purchase warrant program pursuant to which
it will issue an aggregate of 1,559,556 share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") to its service providers in connection with their employment and/or consulting arrangements with the Company. Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company (an "Underlying Share") at an exercise price of Cdn$1.13 for a period of one year. The Warrants will be automatically exercised in equal monthly tranches on a pro rata basis over the term of the Warrants, and the exercise price will be satisfied by the monthly salaries otherwise payable by the Company to the recipients of the Warrants. Upon exercise, the recipients of the Warrants may opt to either receive the Underlying Shares, or participate in a managed sale program to sell the Underlying Shares on the open market and receive the cash proceeds. Any shortfall as a result of participation in such a managed sale program will be funded by the Company.

Chick-fil-A: Which side is the most rational?
The interwebs are abuzz with the Chick–fil–A controversy. As I was scrolling through my Facebook news feed, I came across this image.
The Internet has become a battlefield between the vehement and often visceral protesters of Chick-fil-A and heterosexual-only marriages, and the vehement and often visceral support of the chicken restaurant and heteorsexual-only marriages.
The issue for me is not about stances on homosexuality or Chick-fil-A but on how to teach proper discourse to students so that debacles this can be avoided..
By the way, it's not a "if we should" question for me. High schoolers should be tackling this issue because it's relevant. The conversation doesn't have to be about whether or not gay marriage is right or wrong. If you are as comfortable with the topic as I am, you can have that debate in class (which my students had last year when they were assigned to give persuasive speeches).
So does Cathy have a right to say what he did? Sure he does, as protected by the U.S. Constitution. But does his views influence the way his company operates? Insomeplaces, he can't legally discriminate the hiring of people based on sexual orientation. Does it make you anti-gay marriage if you eat there? There's so much you could do here, but the focus shouldn't be about the validity of gay marriage, but the right to speak and most importantly, its impact.
But that is hard to do many people. The nature of the debate has turn ugly, as most things do when you give the uneducated masses limitless access to a worldwide audience. If you eat at Chick-fil-A, you hate gays. If you protest Chick-fil-A, God hates you. It's gotten to a point where enjoying the best chicken sandwich ever has become a political stance. And honestly, that shouldn't be the case.
It is so important in this controversy to teach our children what rights we have and the consequences of those rights. I'm sure the CEOs of McDonald's, Burger King, and the like are now going keep mum about their view on homosexuality. And Chipotle better keep its mouth shut because I don't know what will happen to my sanity if protests happen there.
Sam Walton, founder of Walmart – the world's largest employer – said this of unions: "I have always felt strongly that we don't need unions at Wal-Mart… . The partnership we have at Wal-Mart — which includes profit sharing, incentive bonuses, discount stock purchase plans, and a genuine effort to involve the associates in the business so we can pull together — works better for both sides than any situation I know of involving unions.". As a result, the retail chain hascomeunderfireforunderpayingemployees and been the scene of manyprotests.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, whose government indirectly owns Citgo, said in front of the United Nations assembly in New York at then President Bush was the "devil" and appealedtotheworld "to halt this threat, which is like a sword hanging over our head." As a result, 7-Eleven, which had a partnership with Citgo, stopped serving Citgo gasoline as its stores.
The ultimate goal is to get kids to think beyond the idiotic rhetoric that is thrown around on the Internet. Memes and Facebook copy-and-post statuses don't really get at the heart of the matter.Require students to find the original comments. Have students investigate Equal Employment Opportunity violations (if any exist). Find other examples of how free speech has impacted business. When students investigate, they learn things. And with knowledge comes great power to make rational decisions.
It's so hard for a teacher to keep neutral in this matter. I would love to tell my students about "the idiots" out there making noise, but I won't say who I believe the idiots are. I do not want to influence my students, who may be inclined to take my side in order to curry favor or a undeserved higher grade. Teachers should remain neutral and ask hard questions of both sides.
It's inherently hard for humans to do, but we strive to do so to model the rational behavior people should exhibit when dealing with a moral issue that will have what effect on the economy, which affects all of us? Hmm…..
So, which side is the most rational?

C4 board member profile – Mark Collins
Alex Coop
Cisco Systems is no stranger to the business partner community. More than 90 per cent of its total revenue is generated by the channel, and Cisco's current channel chief, Oliver Tuszik, is adamant about getting channel partners to buy in to the networking giant's renewed focus on software and recurring revenue models built around services. Cisco's latest response to the rapid pace of innovation includes new SD-WAN and security technologies, open intent-based networking platforms and new Catalyst switches, all of which are made available for partners to resell or add value to. In December, Tech Data and Cisco unveiled the refreshed Tech Data Advanced Technology Solutions Centre (ATSC), located in Tech Data's Mississauga headquarters. The upgraded facility now boasts Cisco Multicloud and hyperconverged solutions, meaning Tech Data can now train customers and partners across the Cisco portfolio, signaling a big win for Cisco's Canadian business. We recently had the chance to speak with Mark Collins, vice-president of Cisco Canada's partner organization.
Mark Collins, vice-president of Cisco Canada's partner organization.
CDN: What led you into a career within the channel?
Collins: I started my career many years ago at a small reseller. I learned a lot about computers and networking, and as time went on, I also learned a lot about Cisco. Almost 20 years ago now, I joined Cisco as an account manager. I did that for nearly eight years, and along the way I discovered how much I enjoyed working with partners. The idea of working with the entire village to solve a customer's problem was really compelling to me. I saw people along the way building businesses and innovating in Canada, and I found it fascinating working with entrepreneurs in large and small organizations across the country. That's why I also spent three years in marketing and learned how to interact with customers and partners, and learned how to leave an impression around a brand's different technologies. All of this helped me prepare for my current role, which I've been doing now for about three years.
CDN: What is your definition of channel at Cisco?
Collins: My team at Cisco is divided up to address the world we currently live in, where Cisco works and competes with companies at different points in time. They reflect different routes to market, and there are blurry lines there, too. We focus on working with service providers – these are our Bells and Teluses. Then we have our national direct integrators (NDIs) whom we work with extensively across Canada. They have large inside sales organizations along with a solutions team that service the midmarket. The third category is our national partners, our integrators that tend to be multi-province in nature. They range from the IBMs of the world to Canadian companies like Long View Systems and Compugen. And then the fourth category is our Value added Reseller (VAR) community. They are often companies in one or a few select cities with a strong hold on those areas. Channel means many things and that definition grows almost every day. We work with influencers and consulting companies like Deloitte…in addition to ISVs like SAP. These are not companies that directly sell our technology but they become a key player in terms of joining the conversation to solve a specific customer problem.
CDN: What are the three largest areas of responsibility in current role in channel management?
Collins: One is to ensure we're operating a program and platform here that Canadian businesses can build a business on. We don't just make products, we build and offer programs businesses can take advantage of and add services to in order to create value for customers. Number two is maintaining our brand. We've been long-known as the plumbers, or the architects of the internet. That brand and expectation has been there a long time, but we're becoming a more software-centric company now. We've focused on software for years, and it's integrated in our products, but now we're also delivering software in a recurring method. Ensuring we're doing that effectively while maintaining the brand's integrity is critical. And third, I help make sure that our brand is an attractive place for employees to work and build careers. We offer a compelling work environment, great career opportunities, and we represent a group that makes a real difference in Canada. I spend many hours per week trying to accomplish these things.
CDN: What can the Canadian partner community do better to ensure the partner ecosystem continues to grow and innovate?
Collins: As great as our innovations are, technology is evolving at a pace that's almost impossible to keep up with. We have to make sure that how we monetize those technologies keeps up with the pace of innovation itself. I think that's one of the biggest gaps right now, and accelerating the skills of our partners will help. All of our partners see this pace of innovation and their job is to find a path so that customers can absorb it in a way the partner can monetize it in a profitable way. Tough questions to answer: How early do you jump on board an innovation in a way that you can educate your team while not removing them from the things that make you money today.
Canada's ecosystem thrives when we invest in our ourselves. We're a hotbed for stuff like AI. We need to believe in and nurture the talent we have. We have to talk to them, figure out where they fit into the mix — any one of them could be the next big thing.
In my job, I have a front-row seat to see Canadians building great companies. But nothing can be accomplished in isolation. We're building this economy together. If we trust in our talent, we really can do incredible things … together.
CDN: What piece of advice would you give anyone entering the channel?
Collins: Start by understanding the difference between an opportunity and what that opportunity means to a customer and a partner. You don't have to know a vendor's entire portfolio and sell it all at once, no one in the market entering it for the first time will know everything at once. Pick a technology track, understand the market, understand its problems, and gain a strong understanding of the skills needed in that space to be successful. Technology is a platform to create value, you have to understand that first and foremost.
To those who are coming up through the ranks, I would have two pieces of advice. First, don't look at your career in terms of a straight line, from bottom to top. Get comfortable with zigs and zags. Don't be blind to the opportunities around you. Give yourself permission to experiment with different functions and roles. You may find that you're passionate about a particular job if you allow yourself to be open to the possibility.
Another piece of advice is to adhere to a village mentality. Business is complicated, and while companies always try to bring top value to every customer, the truth is that no one can do it all. Solving a problem, really, calls for a village mentality. Teamwork and sharing is always important, as is recognizing people and paying things forward when success happens.

PHP7 is on it's way! This is the largest shift in the PHP landscape since the upgrade to PHP 5.3. Most of us survived that and I'm sure we will survive this one as well.
To help you see the forrest for the trees, I've put together a list of all the RFCs that are marked as "Implemented" on the PHP wiki. Some of them have not yet been updated to "Implemented" status and there are still others in the "Pending Implementation" section.
The sections, "Classification", "BC Break", and "Impact" are subjective.
A lot of the RFCs to not break BC at all. The rest of them are labeled "Possible". This is because there are no RFCs in this list that are guaranteed to break your code. Most of them labeled "Possible" will affect edge-cases but not the main body of your code.
I asked one Framework Architect recently how they were instructing their users on converting their code to PHP 7 and their answer was this.
So unlike the jump to PHP 5.3, this should be easy for most.
How can you tell if you code will be affected? Download a PHP 7 "Nightly Build" compile and try your code on it.
Impact was harder to guess. This is not the impact of the change on your code, it is the impact of the change on PHP developers in general. I tried to look at each RFC objectively and decide how much it would impact their style of coding or the execution of their code. Most of the changes, as you can see, are low, however, several of the Engine changes have a high impact. The PHPNG, and Exceptions in the Engine are two examples, the first won't change how you code but it will impact the execution of your code. The second will change how you build applications.
The entire chart is presented for you below to digest. However, here are a few subsets of the data.
Want more information? Davey Shafik of Engine Yard has started a great article series, "What to expect when you are expecting: PHP 7". The articles are short and concise and well worth a read.
PHP 7 needs testers. Specifically, we need you to test your application on PHP 7 and report any errors. To get started, visit the PHP 7 Nightly Builds page and download the latest build.

I know I'm not the only blogger who struggles to read all the books on their to read mountains, there are just so many amazing books out there and not enough hours in a day to actually read them all. Anyway, I want to continue highlighting a few that are on my radar but I haven't quite managed to get to yet.
In the spotlight today is The Stars Unclaimed by Drew Willians, this is a debut novel and the first book in The Universe After series. I love Space Operas and this one has been described as "perfect for fans of Firefly" which immediately makes me want to read it. Book two, A Chain Across the Dawn, is publishing in May so I'm really hoping to start this one soon.
Have any of you read The Stars Unclaimed already? If you have I'd love to know what you thought of it so please do leave me links to your reviews!
New York's top reporter is sent a glamorous portfolio - a beautiful girl in the prime of her life. But the camera lies. A closer look shows the girl's lifeless body held up by wires and clever lighting: immortalised and horrifying.
As the killer plucks more young people from their lives, Lieutenant Eve Dallas tries desperately to find a link. Trusting her instincts and her billionaire husband's shady past, Eve confronts the mounting panic.
I really do love this series more with every instalment which is pretty impressive now I'm 16 books in! Portrait in Death has some incredibly emotional scenes for Eve and Roarke as he's forced to face his past in much the same way that Eve was when she returned to Dallas a couple of books ago. It's fair to say that Roarke doesn't handle some shocking news about his past at all well and for the first time we see him pushing Eve away because he doesn't know how to deal with all the revelations. Roarke has often been a little too perfect to be true (not that that's stopped me falling head over heels for him!) so it was really great to see this more vulnerable side to him and to realise he's just as capable of making mistakes as Eve is.
It was also really wonderful to see Eve step up to the plate and be the support he needed, there have been many times in the series that Roarke has dropped everything in order to be by her side but this was the first time we saw Eve do the same and it really proved that she's in this relationship as much as he is. I just love them so much as a couple, they both have such incredibly messed up backgrounds but they understand each other perfectly because of that.
Of course alongside the fabulous relationship development we also have a murder mystery to solve but for the first time Eve has to let her colleagues take the lead for some of the time while she helps Roarke deal with his personal issues. It's been great to see Peabody growing in confidence throughout the series but I also love seeing characters like Mira and Feeny come to Eve and Roarke's aid.

APR believes that functional, attractive, and economical plastic products can be designed that are also fully compatible with material recovery and plastics reclamation systems. The Champions for Change® Program was created to encourage innovators to conduct testing and confirm any impact of new plastics designs and components on recycling, and then publicize and promote those efforts. The APR Design® Guide for Plastics Recyclability is the foundation of the Champions for Change® Program. Those that employ the APR Design® Guide, and have successfully completed testing, as part of their product development program can be an APR Champion for Change® through Critical and Applications Guidance Recognition.
Innovation in plastics and packaging is necessary to maintain a healthy and competitive industry. To support innovators, the APR has developed a variety of laboratory test method documents that that can be used to assess the impact of a plastic design feature or component on recycling.
The APR publishes and maintains a variety of test methods that innovators can use to gage the impact of an innovation on recycling. Screening tests typically evaluate a narrow aspect of an innovation or a package component on recycling. For example, a screening test might evaluate how well a closure or label floats in water, or how much color develops in PET from an extrusion or injection molding heat history. Many of these tests use equipment that is commonly available in a technical development laboratory and can be employed in a variety of laboratories. Some of the test methods employ specialized equipment that is not generally available and may be best conducted at a specialized laboratory experienced in conducting recycle tests.
These procedures are employed for materials or technologies where we want to assess recycle performance of an innovation to the best of our ability, but where experience tells us we may not know all the variables or conditions that need to be evaluated. While these are comprehensive recycling evaluations, we do not have the experience to know they capture all the important aspects impacting the product area.
These documents provide a comprehensive laboratory scale recycling testing plan and test result evaluation criteria to assess the impact of an innovation on key aspects of recycling resins and packaging articles. Critical Guidance is available today for only PET and HDPE packaging because these are the two resins where there is ample industry experience to allow us to know how to test and how to evaluate test results in the laboratory to evaluate plant scale performance with confidence. The testing can start with either a new resin, or from bottles made with a new additive or packaging component innovation. Bottles are recycled and processed to pelletized resin. Injection molded plaques are made to assess the impact of the innovation on color of the plaques. Because there is no single standard recycling process, the tests and measurements made are selected to be meaningful to most stakeholders in the recycling industry. The purpose of these tests is to confirm that an innovation is fully compatible with the appropriate plastic recycling stream. The testing plan purposely uses a high level of the innovation in each assessment to reveal potential for a negative impact.
These documents provide a comprehensive recycling test and test result evaluation criteria for recycling a complete package innovation back into a finished article, not simply a molded plaque as in Critical Guidance. Applications Guidance for HDPE calls for innovations to be recycled back into new HDPE bottles. For PET, Applications Guidance provides for recycling an innovation back into new bottles, sheet, fibers, or strapping. The purpose is to test specific shelf-ready packages for technical compatibility with recycling, including all components of the package.
These evaluations are employed when laboratory tests may not be able to predict recycling performance for some new technologies, or we do not have established laboratory tests available. In these cases, it may be desirable to evaluate an innovation under regular production scale conditions. APR members are often willing to make their MRF and reclaiming facilities available for such evaluations.

Catholic leaders join others in asking for religious exemption in executive order
7 July 2014, 15:15
Same-sex marriage supporters chant outside the Miami-Dade County courthouse July 2. Religious leaders urged President Barack Obama to include a religious exemption in his planned executive order to end discrimination based on sexual orientation by federal contractors. The leaders said they agree with banning discrimination but said government must recognize religious groups differ on such issues as same-sex marriage. (CNS photo/Zachary Fagenson, Reuters)
WASHINGTON — Catholic and other religious and civic leaders urged President Barack Obama to include a religious exemption in the planned White House executive order banning federal contractors from discriminating based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
In a July 1 letter, the group of 14 faith leaders said they agreed with the idea of "banning discrimination" but they also asked that an "extension of protection for one group not come at the expense of faith communities whose religious identity and beliefs motivate them to serve those in need."
The letter stressed the importance of a religious exemption in the planned executive order "disqualifying organizations" that do not hire lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender Americans from receiving federal contracts.
"This religious exemption would be comparable to what was included in the Senate version of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which passed the Senate with a strong, bipartisan vote," it said.
The letter pointed out that a religious exemption "would not guarantee that religious organizations would receive contracts. Instead, a religious exemption would simply maintain that religious organizations will not be automatically disqualified or disadvantaged in obtaining contracts because of their religious beliefs."
The letter's signers, included Father Larry Snyder, president of Catholic Charities USA, Stephen Schneck, director of the Institute for Policy Research & Catholic Studies at The Catholic University of America; Stephan Bauman, president and CEO of the World Relief, run by the National Association of Evangelicals; Senior Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church in California; and Kathy Dahlkemper, a former member of Congress who is currently county executive of Erie County, Pennsylvania.
They said an executive order that does not include a religious exemption will "significantly and substantively hamper the work of some religious organizations that are best equipped to serve in common purpose with the federal government."
"In a concrete way, religious organizations will lose financial funding that allows them to serve others in the national interest due to their organizational identity. When the capacity of religious organizations is limited, the common good suffers," they added.
The writers said their concern went beyond a "direct financial impact on religious organizations" stressing that the nation must "find a way to respect diversity of opinion on this issue in a way that respects the dignity of all parties to the best of our ability."
The chairmen of four committees of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops June 20 issued a statement expressing concern about the expected order.
They reiterated the objections they initially raised with the Senate version of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, stating: "We say again now, as we said in connection with the Senate bill and have said many times before, that we oppose any unjust discrimination against any person on any grounds."
"We intend to review the details of the executive order carefully once it is available, in order to assess whether it serves the dignity of the human person and the common good," the statement said.
According to The Associated Press, the White House has not provided details about the executive order but some advocates say it will likely be similar to an order President Bill Clinton signed in 1998 that barred the federal government from firing workers for being gay and lesbian. Activists also said Obama's expected executive will likely include language specifically referring to gender identity.
The letter from religious and civic leaders referred to differing views on same-sex marriage, pointing out that Obama, in his first presidential campaign, withheld support for same-sex marriage, saying he believed marriage is a "sacred union" between a man and a woman.
"You justified withholding your support for same-sex marriage, at least in part, by appealing to your Christian faith. Yet you still believed you could serve your country, all Americans, as president," they said. "Similarly, some faith-based organizations' religious identity requires that their employees share that identity. We still believe those organizations can serve their country, all Americans, in partnership with their government and as welcome members of the American family."
"Religious organizations, because of their religious faith, have served their nation well for centuries, as you have acknowledged and supported time and time again," the signers said. "We hope that religious organizations can continue to do so, on equal footing with others, in the future.
"A religious exemption in your executive order on LGBT employment rights would allow for this, balancing the government's interest in protecting both LGBT Americans, as well as the religious organizations that seek to serve in accordance with their faith and values."

We know that right now there's nothing you seem to have less of than time (unless it's money), but it's still important to make a time commitment for dentistry to make sure you're maintaining your oral health. You may not want to schedule an appointment right now, but it's important that you call in and make sure you've got an appointment lined up, whether it's a routine checkup and hygiene visit or a consultation about cosmetic dentistry.
Unless you commit to getting the dental treatment you need, you will never have the results you desire.
Once you make a dental appointment, you need to commit yourself to actually keeping the appointment. Missing a dental appointment hurts you more than anyone. Most dental conditions are progressive, and missing a dental appointment increases the risk that you will find yourself needing emergency dental care. A dental emergency typically means more pain, more expense, and, often, worse results.
Keeping your dental appointment also shows respect for your dentist. Your dentist is a highly-trained professional who is in demand, often by more people than he can fit in. When you don't keep your appointment, you are not only hurting the dentist, you are hurting other patients, who may have wanted the spot you had.
When you are planning your dental treatment, remember that you may have to come back several times to get optimal results.
Although our CEREC system allows us to make dental crowns and tooth-colored fillings while you wait, for some procedures we still have to send away to a lab to get restorations made, such as in the case of a set of porcelain veneers, which could be made using CEREC, but would take too long.
Dental implants are another procedure that we can't complete in just one visit. The dental implant surgery may be completed right away, but the final restoration may take months before it's complete. That's because we may have to give time for the dental implant to integrate into your jawbone before we can place the final restoration. However, we will evaluate your implant at the moment we place just in case it's stable enough to receive a dental crown.
If you do it right, making a time commitment to dentistry can actually end up saving you time (and money). For example, it might seem like making your regular hygiene visits is just time lost, but it's not. It's time invested. Making regular oral hygiene visits reduces the risk that you will end up needing a filling, gum disease treatment, or even root canal therapy. That's time saved. More hygiene visits also means less risk that you'll be heading to the emergency room with a dental problem. That's time saved–and money.
Finally, often the more time-intensive treatment option today could save you time in the long-run. For example, porcelain veneers might seem like they take more time because they require two dental visits, but the truth is that they may save you time because they last three or four times as long.
When you are a patient at B & D Dental Excellence in West Nyack, we promise to do our utmost to respect and protect your time. If you would like to learn more about what makes us special, please call 845-627-7645 for an appointment with a Rockland County dentist today.


As far as research is concerned, hepatitis E (HEV) had long led a shadowy existence – even though it is the main cause for acute viral inflammation of the liver. It causes an estimated 70,000 deaths annually. Professor Eike Steinmann and Dr. Daniel Todt from the Department for Molecular and Medical Virology at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) use big data in order to gain a better understanding of the virus. They detected an extremely fast reproducing variant by analyzing the genetic information of all variants in samples taken from patients. That variant helped them create a functional cell culture model. Rubin, the RUB's science magazine, published a report on their research.
Unlike with other viruses, there is no vaccination available for hepatitis E, nor do any specific effective drugs exist. Some, but not all, patients respond to active substances commonly used against viruses, such as interferon alpha and ribavirin.
Researchers don't know enough about the virus to develop effective therapies. How exactly does it replicate? What makes it so mutable? Why doesn't it always respond to treatment with common drugs? Striving to find the answers to these questions, Daniel Todt and Professor Eike Steinmann collected and analyzed serum samples from patients with chronic HEV infection over a one-year period.
The researcher analyzed the genetic code of the detected viral populations by performing so-called deep sequencing at different points of time. This relatively new method is deployed to represent the genetic information of all viruses in a sample as comprehensively as possible. "Whereas in the past, scientists only analyzed the genetic information of those virus particles that occurred most frequently," explains Daniel Todt.
Once the tests had been evaluated, it emerged that the virus populations in chronic HEV patients were particularly diverse. Certain genetic variants accumulated in patients who did not respond to ribavirin therapy.
One genetic variant caught the researchers' eye: it promoted the proliferation of the virus to a great extent – a happy coincidence for the virus. Due to the speedy replication, that variant quickly became dominant within the population and caused a drastic increase in virus quantities. These findings have enabled the researchers to predict the outcome of ribavirin treatment in individual patients at an early stage.
For the researchers in Bochum, discovering of the extremely fast reproducing virus variant was a stroke of luck in yet another respect. They were thus able to establish a cell culture system for hepatitis E for the very first time. "To date, it had not been possible to proliferate viruses in a culture sufficiently; consequently, the measurement window for analyzing hepatitis E in cell culture was much too small," points out Eike Steinmann.
A first variant of the cell culture model was utilized to test how the naturally occurring active substance silvestrol affected the replication of hepatitis E viruses. Following silvestrol treatment, the multiplication rate and the number of infected cells dropped drastically. "Silvestrol was much more effective than ribavirin," concludes Daniel Todt.

Wash your hands. It sounds obvious, doesn't it? But it's not happening enough. And it has unbelievable consequences.
Not washing your hands causes infections to spread, which at best costs employers' money, causes children to miss school and you to feel ill. On a much more serious note, lives are lost due to infections produced by the lack of handwashing.
1 in 10 patients gets an infection while receiving care.
Up to 90% of care workers do not clean their hands in some facilities.
Infections cause up to 56% of deaths among hospital-born babies.
Incredibly, there are an estimated 1,500 bacteria per square centimetre of skin on your hand. So, it's easy to see how infections, diseases and illnesses spread. These figures are scary, but the solution is so simple: Wash your hands.
1.8 million children under the age of 5 die each year from diarrhoeal diseases and pneumonia. In South Africa, 20% of deaths of children under five are caused by diarrhoeal diseases alone. But handwashing with soap could protect 1 out of every 3 young children who get sick with diarrhoea and almost 1 out of 5 young children with respiratory infections like pneumonia.
Teaching people about handwashing helps them and their communities stay healthy. This is where World Hand Hygiene Day comes in. Set up by the World Health Organisation (WHO), it's a day devoted to maintaining a global profile on the importance of handwashing. It also aims to bring people together in support of improving hand hygiene.
This year, the WHO were targeting health workers with the theme 'Fight antibiotic resistance – it's in your hands'. While good hand hygiene is vital for those who work in the medical field, it's also an importance practice for the general public. World Hand Hygiene Day is open to anyone, so keep an eye on the WHO infection prevention and control page for tools, resources and ideas on how you can get involved in 2018.
While washing your hands can drive down the risk of illnesses or infections, unfortunately, disease can still strike. Time off work can be unavoidable. This is where we at Topmed can step in. Whether you or your family are in a position where you need hospital care, prescribed minimum benefits, day-to-day cover or chronic illness cover, we have a number of options and specially tailored solutions to suit everyone.
We also offer healthcare solutions for businesses and professionals. Our medical scheme for companies gives varied cover for multiple employee bands, and gives professionals the right balance between appropriate cover and good value. There's an overview of our options so you can easily pick the best cover you, your health and your lifestyle.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the colon, with a steadily rising prevalence in Western and newly industrialized countries. UC patients have a cancer incidence as high as 10% after 20 years of the disease. Although the importance of fruits and vegetables in defense against UC is beginning to be appreciated, the mechanisms remain largely unclear. In the current study, we reported that dietary black raspberries (BRBs) decreased colonic inflammation in the mucosa and submucosa of interleukin (IL)-10 knockout (KO) mice. We then used colon, spleen, and plasma from those mice to investigate whether BRBs exert their anti-inflammatory effects by correcting dysregulated toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 signaling to downregulate prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Other studies reported that spleen is the reservoir of macrophages and depletion of macrophages in IL-10 KO mice prevents the development of colitis. Our results showed that BRBs decreased the percentages of macrophages in spleens of IL-10 KO mice. Moreover, mechanistically, the BRB diet corrected dysregulated TLR-4 signaling in cells from the colon and spleen, decreased PGE2 and prostaglandin I2, and increased 15-lipoxygenase and its product, 13-S-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid, in plasma of IL- 10 KO mice. Therefore, we have elucidated one of the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of BRBs, and have identified biomarkers that could be indicators of response in UC patients treated with them. Our findings with BRBs could well apply to many other commonly consumed fruits and vegetables.

The shocking failure of Southern Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust to investigate the deaths of over a thousand patients with learning disabilities or mental health issues made headlines at the end of last year, with both the Department of Health and NHS England promising reviews and major changes to tackle the issue. At a time of drastic cuts to NHS services, the physical healthcare of these vulnerable patients often falls short and the proper investigation of preventable deaths is essential, both for the families of the bereaved and to ensure that lessons are learned by our health services.
On 17th December 2015, NHS England published the "Independent review of deaths of people with a Learning Disability or Mental Health problems in contact with Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust April 2011 – March 2015".
The trust is one of the country's largest mental health trusts, covering Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire and serves around 45,000 mental health and learning disability services users each year.
The publication of this report followed the preventable death of Connor Sparrowhawk in July 2011. Connor, who had learning disabilities and autism, drowned in the bath whilst on a unit in Oxford which was managed by Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust. Initially, the trust attributed Connor's death to 'natural causes' but later admitted that it could have been prevented. The Inquest into Connor's death found that very serious failings and neglect contributed to his death.
The report reviews the deaths of those who died between April 2011 and March 2015 and who had been availing of the trust's mental health and/or learning disability services, either at the time of their death or in the preceding 12 months. During that period, it found that 10,306 people had died. Most of these deaths were not unexpected but 1,454 were. Of these deaths, less than 15% were treated by the trust as a serious incident requiring investigation.
The report found that where investigations were carried out, they were often of a poor quality and very late. There was a failure to act on repeated criticisms from coroners about the delays in preparing reports for inquests and the actual quality of those reports.
The report also found that shockingly 64% of investigations did not involve family members. Thus family members were left in the dark and unable to offer insight and knowledge about their loved one in the period leading up to their death.
Ultimately, the report concluded that the trust could not demonstrate a comprehensive systematic approach to learning from the deaths of those in its care and it failed to avail of opportunities to learn and improve. There was a lack of leadership, focus and sufficient time spent on carefully preparing reports and investigating deaths.
The failures on the part of Southern Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust that have been brought to light by this report make for deeply upsetting reading. Those with mental health problems and learning disabilities are often extremely vulnerable and marginalised. They can face social stigma and discrimination in daily life. The findings of this report indicates that this discrimination continues following death. The unexpected deaths of these vulnerable service users were not treated with the importance and consideration that they should have been and they were not deemed to be meritorious of a full and frank investigation. We only have to look at the case of Connor Sparrowhawk to see that the trust sought to brush its failings aside by stating that the death was a result of 'natural causes'. This transpired not to be the case.
It is the duty of the state to ensure that the most vulnerable members of society receive equal treatment in all aspects of life, including access to healthcare. Where there are concerns about the treatment that a vulnerable person received prior to their death, it is of fundamental importance that there is openness, transparency and a willingness to work with families on the part of the NHS.
Where deaths of those with learning disabilities and mental health problems are unexpected, it is of crucial importance that they are properly investigated. The failure to do so means that lessons will not be learned, systemic failings will continue and the same mistakes will repeatedly be made. This will result in a failure to prevent more avoidable deaths of vulnerable service users. It is not right that vulnerable and marginalised individuals should suffer unequal treatment or access to healthcare and then go unrepresented, unheard and forgotten despite failings in the care they have received.
Following an unnatural or unexpected death of a service user when they are detained under the Mental Health Act 1983, are informal patients admitted to hospital or are community patients living independently or semi-independently in the community, there will often be an Inquest looking at how an individual came by their death. The investigation into an unnatural or unexpected death has a crucial role to play in the Inquest process, outlining what has happened and whether lessons can be learned.
As legal practitioners who act for bereaved family members, we would ideally like to see independent investigations carried out following unexpected deaths of patients or service users under the care of the NHS. Unfortunately there is no such requirement and the duty to investigate an unexpected death rests with the NHS trust in question. These investigations have a crucial role to play in the Inquest process, outlining what has happened and whether lessons can be learnt. Where the trust's report is late or of poor quality, it adversely affects the Inquest process. It makes it more difficult to get to the bottom of how the deceased came to die and this in turn negatively impacts on the ability of families to achieve closure and on the Coroner's obligation to make prevention of future death reports where necessary.
Thankfully, NHS England has accepted the recommendations made in the report. Further, in response to the report, Jeremy Hunt made a written statement in which he outlined the steps that he would be taking to address the local and systemic issues raised in the report. He announced that the Care Quality Commission (CQC) would be carrying out a focused inspection of the trust, looking in particular at its approach to investigating deaths. The CQC will also be looking at the trust's progress in implementing the action plan required by Monitor (the sector regulator for health services in England) and undertaking a review into the investigation of deaths in all types of NHS trusts (acute, mental health and community trusts) in different parts of the country. Part of this review will comprise whether opportunities for prevention of death have been missed, for example by late diagnosis of physical health problems. He also reported that he would be taking measures to tackle the problem of avoidable mortality across providers.
The current situation for those suffering from mental health problems and learning disabilities is precarious at best. Drastic cuts to NHS services have meant that service users often do not receive optimal care and treatment and new NHS figures show that the number of deaths annually among mental health patients in England has risen 21% over the last three years from 1,412 to 1,713. Our experiences of representing families at the deaths of people detained in psychiatric detention is that often the physical healthcare of patients can be ignored and in some cases we have seen, there are shocking failings in responses to emergency situations.
It is of great importance that deaths of the most vulnerable members of our society are properly investigated, even if there is only a whisper of concern about the care they have received. The overriding aim in doing so is to reduce the occurrence of these deaths where they could have been prevented. The state has a duty to protect those in its care and uphold their dignity in death where it has failed them. We can only hope that meaningful changes will be made at Southern Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and elsewhere across the NHS, with the aim of ensuring that appropriate investigations are carried out and lessons are learned from the deaths of those who pass while under its care.

New hope for a basket case
Michael Clugston March 5 1979
New hope for a basket case Michael Clugston March 5 1979
Despite the news-coverage drought attending it, last week's election in Bangladesh brought two important indications of change for that "international basket case," as Henry Kissinger once called it. One was for an imminent return to democracy, the other that President Zia ur Rahman may have what it takes to ease the country's staggering economic and social problems.
Soon after independence eight years ago, the original democracy slid into dictatorship under the flamboyant and lackadaisical leadership of the assassinated (in 1975) Sheik Mujib Rahman. Now, after four years of martial law under Zia, it is almost back where it began. Zia still has not lifted restrictions (he promises to do so within a week after the new parliament meets next month), nor did he stand for election. But he was massively confirmed in office in a referendum last May, and in last week's election his Bangladesh Nationalist Party won 203 of the 300 seats. The Awami League (Mujib's old party) won 40, and a coalition of two fundamentalist Moslem parties was third with 19 seats.
The new House faces the herculean tasks of making the country self-suffi-
cient in food production and reducing the appalling birthrate that has crammed 82 million mostly illiterate people into an area only slightly larger than Nova Scotia and New Brunswick together. Since the 1971 civil war and the cyclones, famines and floods that followed, the country has been sustained by huge doles of international aid.
Some observers would see the election as a sign to the West that Bangladesh deserves to keep getting that aid. Zia has inspired confidence at home despite his hardheaded approach to political survical—he has jailed several thousand political opponents. In a land where the corruption and laggard pace of bureaucracy are as unfailing as the monsoon season, he has built a reputation for incorruptibility and for getting things done. He has even tackled the inefficiency of the civil service. Bureaucrats now get to their desks by 7:30 a.m.—instead of 10 a.m.
Certainly, the face of political respectability that Zia is giving the country will make it more attractive to foreign private investors—or so the president hopes. He has already begun to move Bangladesh toward self-sufficiency in food production, less reliance on aid and a healthier industrial setup. He has also promoted a family-planning campaign, though with more sensitivity than Sanjay Gandhi did in India. But agricultural development is the first priority—and for that, Zia is desperate for foreign capital. As one of his close advisers said recently: "For Bangladesh, stability is just the starting point." Michael Clugston

Get ready for change at the British Pig & Poultry Fair
Published on March 5, 2018 4:37 pm
Farmers face a lot of uncertainty in the coming years, but armed with the best advice from the industry's top leaders they will be able to make the most of any opportunities which lie ahead.
Whether it's getting ready for changing retailer demands, investing to improve animal health and welfare, or restructuring to boost business efficiencies, there is plenty that producers can do to prepare. And they can learn all about what's in store at the British Pig & Poultry Fair, which has brought together a top programme of speakers covering the hot topics of today.
"While nobody knows precisely what Brexit will bring, there are a number of key trends and changes which industry leaders are already using to benefit their own businesses," explains Fair organiser Alice Bell. "By sharing those predictions, advice and ideas, our forum speakers can help visitors to the Fair to make their own adjustments and stay ahead of the game."
Forum topics include market outlooks for eggs, poultry meat and pigs, measuring to improve performance, and how to reduce antibiotic use without compromising welfare and performance.
ABN is partnering the Fair once again, and will be running a forum on using data to boost performance. "We strongly believe that innovation and collaboration are key to the future of the British pig and poultry industry, and encourage everyone to attend," says Danny Johnson, head of commercial at ABN.
Below we feature some of the key trends to be covered in the forum programme.
Poultry meat outlook
Demand for British chicken – particularly fresh chicken – is strong and will continue to be so, according to Patrick Hook, director at PD Hook. However, there is a big push from EU NGOs for more chickens to be slow grown, which will challenge the supply chain, he warns. "As an industry, instead of fighting these people we should have an offer for them to demonstrate responsible production."
The Brexit backdrop provides a lot of uncertainty, he adds. "Imported US chicken is a credible threat – we need to protect our supply base and sell the benefits of eating Red Tractor chicken."
John Kirkpatrick, agricultural manager for poultry and eggs at Tesco, reckons the coming year is likely to see continued improvements in welfare standards, with increased use of data to measure the outcome. "We want to adopt sustainable practices that are really delivering positive outcomes."
Egg outlook
Egg sales continue to increase, reaching 197 eggs/capita last year – and that trend looks set to remain, says Mark Williams, chief executive of the British Egg Industry Council. However, prices are likely to remain under pressure, so how can producers increase production while facing lower prices?
"There is a big drive to keeping hens in lay for longer, and keeping the shell quality up in later lay," explains Richard Pearson, head of agriculture at Chippindale Foods. "It's about maximising every egg that comes off the farm."
In the immediate term, producers with flat decks will have to comply with new perching regulations from this August, while in the longer-term, there is the cage-free drive to consider from 2025, says Mr Pearson. "That will mean future investment in free range egg production."
Pig outlook
The next 12-24 months present some significant challenges and opportunities due to Brexit, changing consumer demands and general pig health, says Andrew Saunders, agricultural director at Tulip. "But I am confident the UK pig industry can adapt to meet these challenges and we may see a more collaborative relationship between producers and processors as a result."
Ed Barker, senior policy adviser at the National Pig Association, adds: "I can't think of any sector that will be affected more by the outcome of the Brexit negotiations than the pig sector. Future trading arrangements will be critical, while the industry also needs good outcomes on labour and regulation. We are getting a clearer picture all the time – the Fair will be an opportunity to discuss where we stand."
Measuring to improve performance
Many people are already recording data for auditing purposes – but they can make far better use of it through benchmarking, to improve physical and financial performance, says Ian Lowery, a vet at Crowshall Veterinary Services. "There are practical ways in which data can be captured and used to improve key performance indicators."
Technology and the Internet of Things have really developed in recent years, and there's plenty that the poultry industry can learn from other sectors, adds John McCurdy, head of agri data services at ABN. "This is about making use of what's already being measured in a practical way to make actionable changes on farm. If we can bring the financial aspects together with the performance data it will drive business efficiencies."
Traceability – Unlock the power of data
For the first time, farmers can follow every step that each pig takes from birth to slaughter, with health, growth and carcase data, plus DNA details to help them make production decisions.
This cutting edge project spearheaded by AHDB is presenting unique opportunities and for the first time will allow:
The ability to automate detailed information capture throughout the value chain
Individually track animals and their weight/growth throughout their lifetime
Feedback on individual animal slaughter data – including individual animal health through the Pig Health Scheme and CCIR
An excellent platform from which the UK can create a world leading system from farm to fork traceability both through the use of UHF ear tags and DNA sampling/recording.
Profit without antibiotics
The UK pig sector has made some good progress with a 34% reduction in total antibiotic use, but there is still room for improvement, says Joshua Onyango, livestock health consultant at Innovation for Agriculture. He will be profiling case studies from Sweden to help British farmers cut antibiotic use further.
Paul Thompson, a vet at Garth Pig Practice, will explore areas on which farmers should focus to target antibiotic reduction. These include the farrowing house, the post-weaning phase, and respiratory diseases in growers and finishers. "It is just about doing everything we do better."
More details about the forums and speakers can be found at www.pigandpoultry.org.uk/forums
The British Pig & Poultry Fair is the leading event for the UK pig, poultry and egg sectors, and will be held on 15-16 May 2018 at Stoneleigh, Warwickshire. Partnered by ABN the Fair is free to attend, to register and plan your visit go to www.pigandpoultry.org.uk.

Q: What exactly constitutes a newline at the end of a file? I personally try to place a newline at the end of all of my source files, especially in the C++ world where the compiler generates a warning for this condition. To ensure that I've done this, I typically just look for a blank line at the end of each file I edit.
That said, a number of different editors seem to treat the final newline character differently (at least on Windows). Consider this example file (I've chosen to show line numbers):
1: One
2: Two
3: Three
4:

The hex output of this file is as follows:
4F6E650D 0A54776F 0D0A5468 7265650D 0A

Note that the last character pair in this file is a 0D0A (\r\n). When I open this file in various editors or viewers, they all do something different:
Editors that show line 4:

*

*Sublime Text 3

*Visual Studio

*Notepad

Editors that do not show line 4:

*

*SlickEdit

*vim

*WinMerge file viewer

*GitLab online viewer

So, what exactly constitutes a "newline at end of file?" Are the differences in these (and other) applications merely a result of the parsing engines? Is there a "correct" answer to whether line 4 should be shown or not? It seems to me that showing line 4 is the correct option.

A: This actually has very little to do with being the end of the file, it's just that's the effect you're seeing.
You should ask yourself first where the initial newline is. Is it at the end of the first line, between the first and second, or before the second?
Sorry to go all Zen on you but that's basically what you're asking. I've always considered a newline "character" to be part of the line which it follows (probably based on my C history, with fgets and such).
But, I can at least conceive the viewpoint that it's between the lines, as some of your editors seem to think. That would mean they'd treat line 4 as an empty line without a newline on the end, which is not a view I subscribe to - my view is, if you have an empty room with no walls, floor or ceiling, you can't really call it a room.
I can't envisage ever considering the newline as being at the start of the next line.

How is Augustus Caesar related to Jesus?
What happened to Pontius Pilate after Jesus was crucified?
Claudius Lysias is a figure mentioned in the New Testament book of the Acts of the Apostles. According to Acts 21:31–24:22, Lysias was a Roman tribune and the commander (chiliarch) of the Roman garrison ("cohort" Acts 21:31) in Jerusalem.

The Roman emperor Claudius suffered from a wide range of physical tics and disabilities. Many scholars have explained these symptoms by hypothesizing that Claudius suffered from cerebral palsy.
Claudius suffered from physical disabilities, including a limp and a speech impediment and was therefore treated with disdain by his family, and not considered as a future emperor. … Although he lacked a military reputation, the essential attribute of an emperor, in 43 AD Claudius undertook the conquest of Britain.
Augustus himself was adopted by Julius Caesar, who came to be thought of as a god thus furthering the connection between Jesus and Augustus as both were referred to as son of god.
According to some traditions, the Roman emperor Caligula ordered Pontius Pilate to death by execution or suicide. By other accounts, Pontius Pilate was sent into exile and committed suicide of his own accord.

Q: Is there a way to convert days to years using pandas? I have 2 columns named "deleted_at" (date the client canceled the service) and "birth_date" (of a client). I already transformed the string into date type using pd.to_datetime. Example:

mydataframe.loc[:,'deleted_at'] =
pd.to_datetime(mydataframe['deleted_at']).

I am trying to calculate the age of the client using:

mydataframe [age] = (mydataframe['deleted_at'] -
mydataframe['birth_date'])/365.25

The problem is this code is returning the date in days and I would like to receive in years. Example:

[deleted_at] 2018-06-17 23:59:08 -
[birth_date] 1966-01-25

Is returning: 52 days 09:27:43.101984942. Should return 52 years, x months, y days, or even just 52 years. Is there an easy way to do that?

A: this solution is much easier:
mydataframe[age] = (mydataframe['deleted_at'].dt.year - mydataframe['birth_date'].dt.year)

you can call day, week, month and year

A: You can use relativedelta from dateutil package (already installed with pandas)
from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta

cols = ['deleted_at', 'birth_date']
df['relativedelta'] = df[cols].apply(lambda x: relativedelta(x[0], x[1]), axis=1)

Output:

deleted_at
birth_date
relativedelta

2018-06-17 23:59:08
1966-01-25 00:00:00
relativedelta(years=+52, months=+4, days=+23, hours=+23, minutes=+59, seconds=+8)

Setup:
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'deleted_at': [pd.Timestamp('2018-06-17 23:59:08')],
                   'birth_date': [pd.Timestamp('1966-01-25')]})
