Products & Services| MediLingua Medical Translations B.V.
MediLingua offers translation and content review services that are optimized for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life sciences industries.
The cost-effectiveness of these translation services is leveraged from deep expertise in the sciences and technologies involved, as well as the standards that need to be met. They are increased in scope by the wide range of European, Asian and African languages that MediLingua supports.
As an ever-increasing proportion of drug development, clinical research and marketing is done multinationally, so the need increases for fast, accurate and cost-effective translation of pharmaceutical and other life sciences content into multiple languages.
This increasing need is apparent on many levels. To begin with drug development and manufacture, while two thirds of the value of medicines is concentrated in just five countries (USA, UK, Germany, France and Japan) the WHO assess that manufacturing capability is now spread over more than 125 countries that have pharma and biotech capabilities ranging from 'sophisticated industry' to 'finished products from imported ingredients'.
Similarly the proportion of drugs marketed in the USA that are manufactured in Europe, Asia, Africa or Latin America has risen sharply over the past decade, from 20% to around 75% currently. India alone is estimated to supply 40% of the OTC medicines consumed in the US.
On the research front, clinical trials are becoming increasingly multinational, with an FDA study finding that the proportion of clinical oncology programs conducted exclusively in the USA declined from 80% in 2002 to around 25% by 2012.
The process of bringing a drug to market requires accurate translation at almost every stage, from pre-clinical research among collaborators, through multiregional regulatory submissions, dispersed manufacturing, and regional marketing and packaging.
Errors in translation can have drastic effects at key parts of the marketing process, including errors and delays in clinical trials, possible rebuffs or rejection by regulators, increased time to market and compromised product safety with potential legal or regulatory consequences.
Inadequate translation also has the potential to lose or obscure crucial data links between research sites operating in different languages. Corruption of essential data quality can make the difference between resounding success or very costly failure.
Compared with the costs involved, the marginal costs of high quality and industry specific translation are vanishingly small.
Pharma and biotech translation depends on precise and current knowledge of scientific meanings and technological terms on the part of every member of the translation chain from original drafting and editing in source language through to target languages.
MediLingua can provide these multilevel services for all European languages, as well as Turkish, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. In Africa,MediLingua's network of local partners, experienced in medical translations, provides coverage of many of the continent's main languages and dialects.
Layered levels of quality control and full understanding of the regulatory environment are also required, extending to regulations on new drug development and marketing in North and South America, Europe, Asian and African markets.
MediLingua has built up a team of more than 400 professional medical translators, all of whom are native speakers of target languages with a medical background and extensive experience in translating and editing medical texts. They provide translators with access to the latest medical information and reference materials; with work double checked by expert editors to ensure that all translated information is clear and accurate.
MediLingua also provides complete review of translation against source documentation, using professional proofreaders and editors with specific medical and scientific knowledge, allowing the most qualified reviewer to be selected to meet each specific requirement.

Readability Testing of Patient Information Leaflets
Product – MediLingua Medical Translations B.V.
Contact Supplier: MediLingua Medical Translations B.V.
Supplier Product: Readability Testing of Patient Information Leaflets
MediLingua provides a specialist readability testing service to ensure compliance of patient information leaflets for drugs and other medicinal products, and recently completed test project number 300!
Since November 2005, all medicinal products in Europe are legally required to have patient information leaflets (PILs) readability-tested to ensure they comply with European Directive 2001/83/EC (as amended by Directive 2004/27/EC). These stipulate that leaflets should be "legible, clear and easy to use", and that the manufacturer has to deliver a readability test report that confirms these qualities.
The (British) Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) defines the reason for testing as 'to help produce a leaflet that most medicine users can use to take safe and accurate decisions about their medicines'.
Detailed requirements for leaflet compliance have been left largely undefined and most readability test services have simply extracted their own test method, based on 'an example of a method for testing the readability of the leaflet' that was published by the EC.
MediLingua obeys more rigorous criteria that ensure the leaflet will:
•	Comply with the template published by the Quality Review of Documents (QRD) group of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) that defines what information has to be placed under various headings.
•	Use the correct template for central procedure (CP), mutual recognition procedure (MRP), or decentralized procedure (DP).
•	Pass validated readability tests for spelling, grammatical construction, non-ambiguity, specificity, clarity, and ease of understanding.
•	Be correctly understood by at least 90 per cent of readers.
The MediLingua Method
We test leaflets using a rigorous seven-step method.
1.	All our readability test projects begin with a preparation phase, during which the text of the leaflet is carefully edited and checked; spelling or grammatical errors are corrected and sentences are rephrased. This is an important step: approximately 70 per cent of all changes to the leaflet are made during the preparation phase, which aligns content to the appropriate EMA template.
2.	We then draft a questionnaire with 12 to 15 questions that cover the most important details of the product and its use(especially safety aspects). These are the questions that must be answered correctly by any user to ensure they are using the product correctly.
3.	We then conduct a pilot test with five readers who assess the prototype leaflet from the viewpoints of clarity, simplicity of language, safety, non-ambiguity, etc.
4.	Results from the pilot test are used to revise the leaflet (text and/or design) and, if necessary, the questions. At this point, everything is ready for the actual test.
5.	The full test is conducted using two test panels, each of 10 people who are balanced for age, gender and education and who are native speakers of the language of the leaflet. We ensure each test panel contains at least one young person (18- 22 years of age) and two or three over-60s. The testers on each panel are then interviewed on the 15 key questions about the product, and are allowed to refer to the leaflet where necessary. A readability test consists of at least two test rounds during which all testers should answer most questions correctly and no question should consistently cause problems. The criteria have to be met in one test round and the results should be confirmed during the next round.
6.	After each test round, the results are scored for success in answering questions correctly and speed of response. A leaflet passes a test round when:
•	At least 90 per cent of the questions lead to the right information being located
•	The information is correctly understood in 90 per cent of responses
7.	Where a leaflet has passed testing, a report is written that details test results. In the rare cases where a leaflet does not successfully pass the first test round, we re-examine any problem areas and carry out the process again.

Medical Translation and Review Process
Supplier Product: Medical Translation and Review Process
Medical translation and review is a multi-step process, in order to achieve the highest accuracy Medilingua has a robust process set in place to ensure the finished translation achieves our customers' specification.
Project Specification
At this stage we identify and review the amount and level of documentation and agree on a quotation/contract, planning.
Careful preparation of the documents to be translated are carried out. A glossary of technical terms, phrases, abbreviations and acronyms are created. The required resources are allocated to the specific project and product training is provided.
Translation and Proofreading Services
Translation memory and terminology management are vital for maintaining consistency of translation and consistency and standardization are important when translating documents containing clinical data.
All our translations are conducted by experienced native-speaking medical translators. All documentation is then meticulously proofread by experienced translators to ensure there are no errors. Every document is checked for linguistic accuracy, spelling and grammar.
With regards to software all translations are recompiled and tested.
With regards to online documentation all hyperlinks are checked.
With regards to websites the integrity of html files are tested.
Page Formatting (DTP)
We utilize a variety of DTP applications to create a print-ready document.
Quality Assurance Checks
To ensure high quality and accuracy each translation is subjected to quality checks. The final version is assessed and signed off once any changes and corrections have been fully implemented.
Customer Review and Validation
Translations are delivered directly to our clients' representatives ready to be reviewed. Once any changes and comments have been received, analysed and implemented a final version is produced. With regards to larger projects the review and validation process can be incorporated into the translation procedure, this proves to be more economical especially if reviewers reside in the target language country.

BC Conservatives Demand Better Governance
Posted by Conservative Admin February 08, 2018 8:00 AM
VERNON BC- The BC Conservatives say that it's time for politicians in BC to stop wrecking the provinces' economy with high taxation, attacks on the resource sector, and a ridiculous trade war with another province.
"The BC GreeNDP has barely been elected and yet they've already closed down mine projects, announced the destruction of the cannabis growing industry, and are planning on raising taxes even further on gas," said Scott Anderson, Interim Leader of the BC Conservatives. "Not content with that, they're now setting about destroying our wine industry as collateral damage in a completely avoidable trade war with another NDP government in another province by trying to attack our oil industry as well. If it wasn't so tragic for working families in BC, it would make a great comedy skit. It's as if they picked up a bat and started flailing blindly at our economy like a piñata."
In spite of clear research that shows pipelines are the safest possible way to transport oil products to market, the GreeNDP is still trying to stall the Kinder Morgan pipeline even if it means killing our wine industry in a trade war. The project has gone through the most rigorous environmental assessment in the world, waded through half a decade of hurdles including a formal National Energy Board review and politically inspired ad hoc "public participation" reviews, and has emerged as the most modern, most studied, most heavily regulated pipeline in the world.
"It's time for adults to take over," said Anderson. "The people of BC can make a start by electing a BC Conservative in the Kelowna West by-election currently underway. Give us a foothold in the Legislature and it'll be the first step toward building a government that treats our people and economy with the respect they deserve."
The BC Conservative Party is in favour of all carefully regulated resource development projects, including Kinder Morgan, the Site C dam project, and LNG development. It is not in favour of high taxes, mine closures, collapsing sectors of the economy, and avoidable trade wars.

Q: What do the symbols in the Redis server logfile mean? When I open the logfile for Redis called "server_log.txt" I notice different symbols in the column just before the column with the actual message. For instance, here are a couple of lines from the file (notice the "*" and "#"):
[2004] 11 Nov 10:24:36.721 * Background saving started by pid 8172
[2004] 11 Nov 10:24:36.911 # fork operation complete

I also see that some of the messages are prepended with either "+" or "-":
[788] 11 Nov 19:10:44.803 # +tilt #tilt mode entered
[788] 11 Nov 19:11:14.903 # -tilt #tilt mode exited

Does anyone know what these symbols mean?

A: For the  "*" and "#" symbols, these indicate the severity of the message:
.  // DEBUG
-  // INFO
*  // NOTICE
#  // WARNING

For the '+' and '-', these can sometimes indicate a mode/flag that is on/off.  It's not always mode/flag, as shown in this list of sentinel pub/sub channel-names : https://redis.io/docs/manual/sentinel/

Coeur d'Alene middle schoolers honor veterans
From our national anthem to taps, all servicemen and women in attendance would be honored at a Veterans Day assembly.
But it doesn't stop there, those behind the badge who give their life to protect our communities received the same gratitude from students of Woodland Middle School in Coeur d'Alene.
"We would like to leave the message with our students that they need to respect, honor, and provide service," Annie Beardslee said.
That message is something Beardslee and her class several years ago started.
In a letter sent to soldiers in Iraq, Beardslee didn't think they would get a response, but one day they did.
Now she's passing on the same message of gratitude.
"Perhaps after they go past the wall that says 'Honor, Service and Gratitude' maybe they'll decide that that's something they would like to be doing," Beardslee said. Flags, badges, and memorabilia are now on display and one day will be mounted in the form of a memorial, "The Gratitude Wall," which will end up in Woodland Middle School, giving thanks a thousand times over to servicemen and women and first-responders.

A Partial denture may be either "conventional" or "immediate." A conventional type is made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed, usually taking 4 to 6 weeks. During this time the patient will go without teeth. Immediate partial dentures are made in advance and immediately placed after the teeth are removed, thus preventing the patient from having to be without teeth during the healing process. Once the tissues shrink and heal, adjustments will have to be made.
Partial dentures are very durable appliances and will last many years, but may have to be remade, repaired, or readjusted due to normal wear.
The process of getting partial dentures requires several appointments, usually over several weeks. Highly accurate impressions (molds) and measurements are taken and used to create your custom partial denture. Several "try-in" appointments may be necessary to ensure proper shape, color, and fit. At the final appointment, your dentist will precisely adjust and place the completed denture, ensuring a natural and comfortable fit.

Foreigner's Tribunals
August 18, 2021 (August 18, 2021) Kumari Sonali
Foreigners' Tribunals:
Assam government's Political Department has issued a notification ordering the State police's Border wing not to forward any case against Gurkhas to the Foreigners' Tribunals under the Foreigners' Act of 1946.
The Border wing is tasked with identifying people of doubtful citizenship and serving them notices for a Foreigners' Tribunal — a quasi-judicial establishment — to take over.
According to the 2011 census, Assam has more than 5 lakh Gurkhas, most of whom came as members of armed forces under the British administration.
About 22,000 Gurkhas were left out of the draft National Register of Citizens published on August 31, 2019.
The cases of some 2,500 Gurkhas are pending in a few of the 100 Foreigners' Tribunals in Assam. All such cases are to be withdrawn.
A declared foreigner, or DF, is a person marked by Foreigners' Tribunal (FT) for allegedly failing to prove their citizenship after the State police's Border wing marks him or her as an illegal immigrant.
Foreigners tribunal:
Foreigners' Tribunals are quasi-judicial bodies established as per the Foreigners' Tribunal Order, 1964 and the Foreigners' Act, 1946.
Composition: Advocates not below the age of 35 years of age with at least 7 years of practice (or) Retired Judicial Officers from the Assam Judicial Service (or) Retired IAS of ACS Officers (not below the rank of Secretary/Addl. Secretary) having experience in quasi-judicial works.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has amended the Foreigners (Tribunals) Order, 1964, and has empowered district magistrates in all States and Union Territories to set up tribunals (quasi-judicial bodies) to decide whether a person staying illegally in India is a foreigner or not.
Earlier, the powers to constitute tribunals were vested only with the Centre.

I want to hide a QuickTime sound control behind a picture but I can't seem to get it to hide.
I have a sound in the sound control, and the picture is of a machine with a button. I want to hide the QuickTime on/off arrow right behind the machine's button, so when people click on the button (without being able to see the QuickTime control hiding behind it), the sound will go off.

Sounds like a country song
By Daniel Winter|12 March 2014
An American lawyer who disappeared in late October after finding himself immersed in a sea of legal troubles was arrested last Friday in New York returning from Istanbul.
St Louis Post-Dispatch reported that prosecutors claim lawyer Jeffrey M. Witt used a female client to impersonate a second woman in order to obtain a $100,000 line of credit on the unknowing second woman's house.
The indictment said Witt then immediately took $60,000 of the money, deposited it into his law firm's account and spent the money on personal expenses.
When the woman found out about the line of credit, Witt lied. He said the loan had been cancelled, supporting his claim with faked bank documents, the indictment revealed.
Witt, 39, had been having a rough time of it before he was officially reported missing on 22 November, leaving behind an ex-wife and five children. He was accused of lying to clients and judges, missing deadlines and court hearings, mishandling money, and failing to file necessary documents or improperly filing them, according to a 10-count complaint filed by Missouri's chief disciplinary counsel in October.
Witt also failed to tell clients that he employed a disbarred former lawyer who was also a convicted felon. In some cases, Witt's actions cost clients their cases or their homes, the complaint said.
Two weeks later, Witt's car was towed and he was ticketed for driving under the influence after hitting a vehicle while parking his car.
By now Witt's litany of woes and supposed wrongdoing was starting to sound like a bad country and western song – perhaps fittingly for an attorney from St. Peters, Missouri. And like all C&W morality tales, it was only gonna end one way, readers.
A week after the car bingle bungle, on 22 October, a St. Louis County judge entered a nearly $1 million judgment against Witt and his practice in a malpractice case – although a co-defendant's lawyer said that Witt wouldn't be personally responsible for any of the money and basically signed the suit over to his insurance company.
On 24 October, one of Witt's clients, who hadn't been able to reach him for a week, showed up at his office in St. Peters to find the lights off, the door unlocked, computers on and files scattered about. She called police twice, once that day and again when Witt missed her court hearing the next day. Police later found Witt at home.
A Witt assistant later posted the following sign at the office, spellin' an' all: "Do to things out of my Control this office is Temporally closed For the week."
Folklaw thinks that, like all Country & Western songs, there is a lesson for all of us in this. Unfortunately, Folklaw has no idea what it is.

Q: Font Awesome: how to only increase the width of an icon? I would like to only increase the width of the following icon:

I don't want to use things such as the following:

because the icons also increases in height.
Thanks and regards.


— Both teams are 1-2 in 3-pointers made in the conference. Nevada has made 159, UW 158. The Wolf Pack are second in the league in 3-point shooting percentage (39.7). The Cowboys are second-to-last (33), but have attempted a league-high 479 3s. Nevada is second at 401. On the flip side, Nevada has allowed teams to shoot just 29.6 percent from behind the arc, UW is close behind at 30.2 percent.
What does all this mean come Saturday? Who knows.
— UW leads the MW with 40 rebounds per game. Nevada is second at 39.3. Nevada's 5.2 blocked shots leads the conference, followed by UW at 4.8.
If the game is close, and there are a lot of factors to think that will be the case, one thing to watch is free-throw shooting. UW is second in the MW at 74.9 percent. Nevada is second-to-last at 68 percent. Hope I didn't jinx the Cowboys by making this point.
Another factor is Nevada doesn't have a lot of depth. It's five starters account for most of its production, and only two others see consistent time off the bench. UW generally plays nine guys, and sometimes more.
Four of Nevada's starters rank in the top 20 in the MW in scoring. Senior guard Marcus Marshall is tops at 20.7 points per game, and he's made a league-high 66 3-pointers, which is 21 more than any other MW player.
Marshall, sophomore forward Jordan Caroline and sophomore post Cameron Oliver are a load for Nevada. To me, a player to watch and UW must be leery of is sophomore point guard Lindsey Drew. He's kind the glue-guy for Nevada. He leads the conference with 5.4 assists per game, with a 2.6 assist-to-turnover margin. Drew also averages nearly five rebounds per contest. Drew is sneaky good, and if UW ignores him, Drew will do some major damage.
I see a close and high-scoring game. UW is 10-0 at home. Nevada is 3-2 in true road games — one of only two MW teams with a winning record this season on the road. But the Wolf Pack is coming off a 105-104 overtime win at New Mexico last Saturday where it overcame a 25-point second-half deficit, including a 14-point hole with just over a minute to play.
We've seen the Cowboys play well in stretches, and in halves, but for them to win this one they better play well for 40 minutes.
Who do you like in this game? In my MW Power Rankings I posted earlier this week on wyosports.net, I picked Nevada. Early lines I've seen has UW a 2-point underdog.
See Saturday's Wyoming Tribune Eagle and Laramie Boomerang, and log on to wyosports.net for more on this game, including how UW junior guard Alexander Aka Gorski is having the most success so far in his Cowboys career.

Q: SSRS - Use Macro in an SSRS Report is it possible to have a macro on an SSRS Report that is exported in Excel format ?
We need to rename the sheet based on content of the report a user is viewing.
For ex: 'SalesReport' shows data for California - so sheet name might be 'California sales';
'SalesReport' shows data for New York - so sheet name might be 'New York sales';
This update can happen when user clicks on the worksheet.
TIA

A: I'm sure that adding a macro is impossible without some sort of .xls post-processing.
If you want to rename a sheet you will also need some post-processing.  This is something that lots of people want and from reading msdn it sounds like it's likely to be included in a future SSRS version.
And if you really want to rename a sheet here's one solution: http://spacefold.com/lisa/post/2007/10/03/Changing-the-Sheet-names-in-SQL-Server-RS-Excel-QnD-XSLT.aspx

There is a lot happening in the healthcare sector today. The government is aiming to redefine healthcare with the help of ACOs and performance based compensation methods. Physicians are getting edgy about the meaningful use stage 2 objectives that their current EMRs may not posses. Recent EMR surveys and studies are producing variable results. Some display significant post-implementation gains while others show distressing productivity losses.
It's a mess! The healthcare system is going through a transformation and such transformational phases are often complicated. With that said, the question here is whether one believes in the healthcare reform or not. If one believes in the healthcare reform, then it is easier to accept the change and adapt accordingly. However, if the answer is no then one probably shouldn't vote for Obama in the upcoming elections.
Every change takes time. When hospitals first started record keeping, was it organized? No. Was it efficient? No. But was it necessary? Yes. The paper based system that physicians have perfected and feel comfortable with is likely to have received a similar response when it was mandated. Nobody likes to be told what to do. On the other hand, when it becomes common practice in the industry, it ceases to be a major concern.
EMR documentation is likely to be cumbersome in the initial stages as physicians familiarize themselves with the new system. What most physicians have a problem with is standardized data entry. Although most EMRs can be customized to suit user preferences, physicians tend to associate electronic medical documentation with clerical workload. However, the modern EHRs facilitate evidence based practice methods and adhere to industry best practices.
Physicians have been able to improve documentation time with regular use, familiarization and training. Practices have also been able to optimize administrative workflows and operations through continuous assessment and planning. Patient Portals let patients update basic clinical, administrative and financial information without leaving their home or visiting the doctor's office. This saves valuable time and enhances productivity whilst minimizing the possibility of human error. These patient portals also maintain a connection between physicians and their patients, which allows simplified synchronization of information and health management.
General opinion suggests that EMR systems with voice recognition further expedite the process of clinical documentation for physicians while an optional transcription service makes the process nearly effortless. However, physicians using transcription and dictation often describe them as costly and inefficient while various surveys indicate reduced quality of clinical outcomes for these physicians.
To conclude, denial is not a solution. EMR adoption is a choice right now and not a compulsion but the future may dictate otherwise. Physicians often choose to push back EMR implementation and hope to join the race when the usage of such systems is no longer a choice. However, physicians already embarking on this journey will be accustomed to improved clinical outcomes and care quality through the use of EMRs. Only physicians know the answers to these questions and while some may continue to resist adoption, there is no denying that EMRs are a pathway to the future.
The views on EMR usability vary significantly from one physician to another. A number of physicians today think of cost and productivity benefits from an EMR, as myths. Some physicians feel that instead of improving efficiency, an EMR slows down their practice workflow and does not yield any cost benefits. Whereas on the flip side, many providers have reported that utilizing an EMR system helps control costs and increase productivity.
This disparity can be attributed to two key factors, the first of which is being unable to find the right fit. However this factor has been explored in detail by many technology pundits and thus does not require much elaboration. The key is to find an EMR solution that adapts to the existing workflows of the practice as well as help providers in meeting their various clinical, administrative and even financial objectives.
The other factor is meaningful use. Many physicians believe that benefits will accrue automatically once the EMR implementation is complete. EMR is just a facilitator and the benefits are limited to how the user chooses to utilize the application. A physician that utilizes an EMR solution to simply record medical information may not be able to drive the same benefits, when compared with a physician that utilizes data mining to optimize care of patients with certain medical situations.
"It is about your mind set really. If one believes that it works, then one tries to go the extra mile to make it work." says a New Jersey based Practice Manager.
The meaningful use program was devised by the CMS to help providers get a feel of the real capabilities of EMR. The first stage of the program was designed to introduce EMR usability along with the built-in features that help enhance productivity and improving care quality. The government believes that there are benefits to be driven from wider EMR adoption and that is the reason that it has set up the incentive program for adoption and meaningful utilization of EMR solutions.
There are multiple case studies where practices and large hospital organizations have been able to gauge the change in performance after utilizing an EMR. In most cases, even practices have been able to quantify the positive impact of deploying an EHR solution in terms of time saved, patients treated per working day and the changes in amount of re-admittance. Only physicians that align their organizational objectives during the EMR implementation phase are able to derive the utmost clinical, administrative and financial benefits from their solution.
The Obama administration introduced the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act with EMR as its cornerstone. Billions of dollars were reserved as funds for the stimulus plan to reward physicians on effective utilization of digital health information with up to $63,750 in incentives. CMS has already paid out nearly 3 million in incentive payments to physicians who successfully attested for meaningful use in 2011.
The two incentive schemes fall under Medicare and Medicaid, federal and state run insurance programs respectively. Physicians that attested for meaningful use stage 1, had to complete 15 core and 5 menu objectives. The objectives for the first stage targeted effective data capturing and sharing. While many physicians successfully attested and received their incentives, a number of physicians struggled with some of the changes brought by the new EMR technology.
The reason CMS is promoting EMR adoption is not just for the sake of healthcare automation, but the whole incentive program is designed to drive appropriate usage and desirable outcomes to improve healthcare quality and productivity. The US is spending over $2 trillion each year on healthcare with mostly unsatisfactory results. The government believes that the increasing healthcare costs are not only burdening civilian families but are also detrimental to the economy.
EMR is just the first step towards the advancement of healthcare in the US. By streamlining operations and increasing accountability, EMR aims to forge a new culture of care delivery. While we are aware of some of the advantages in the form of a paperless environment, reduced clinical errors, increased efficiency, reduced cost and improved quality, the actual value of an EMR resides in its ability to compile data producing analytical reports, and its capability to interface with other healthcare entities for exchanging vital information, thereby establishing a chain of effective care delivery.
The meaningful use stage 2 builds on the requirements of the first stage. Instead of demonstrating interoperability, physicians would be required to utilize these features and explore detailed functionality of the EMR. The increased focus on connectivity and information exchange is to promote preventive care measures, rather than just improving disease management.
While we await the final rule for the next stage, it is seemingly apparent that the CMS meaningful use program is not just an embellished IT project but a meticulously structured healthcare transformational program.


The most common neurological disease in the world's name stems from the Greek words for "half" and "cranium". Celebrity sufferers include Albert Einstein, Elvis Presley and Julius Caesar.
Alterations - and particularly dilatation - of the calibre of blood vessels within the brain lead to the pain. Heredity plays a part. Females appear to outnumber male patients 2 to 1.
The headache is throbbing, debilitating and usually confined to one side. It may be accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light and speech difficulty. Attacks may be preceded by a warning "aura" in some patients. This takes the form of visual phenomena (e.g. zig-zag lines).
The list of triggers is long. It includes various foods, alcohol, noise and hormonal changes. But right at the top of the list are stress and sleep disturbance.
Modern medicine can help. Painkillers, obviously, have a part to play. Triptans, beta-blockers and pizotifen have been used as preventative measures. Despite these advances, most patients retreat to a darkened room until it's all over.
Hypnotherapy is useful in two ways. First, we know that stress and lack of sleep are powerful triggers. Hypnotherapy is particularly effective in this area. Reducing the trigger potential lessens the likelihood of an attack. Secondly, hypnotherapy teaches the patient to reduce the suffering component of pain. In consequence, it can augment the degree of comfort for the sufferer.
In 1975, Anderson reported his prospective, randomised, double-blind trial in a peer reviewed journal. He compared a group of patients receiving hypnotherapy with another group receiving ergotamine and prochlorperazine (a standard drug combination at the time). The hypnotherapy group subsequently reported a comparative reduction in both the total number of attacks and the frequency of incapacitating attacks.
Since that time, similar results have been replicated both in adults and children. Hammond (2007) has summarised the research and concluded by recommending hypnotherapy for migraines.
Part of the misery of migraine is that it robs people of a sense of control. Patients feel at the mercy of an unpredictable, uncontrollable enemy. Hypnotherapy has been shown to restore an important degree of autonomy, to reverse pessimistic thought patterns and to reduce the experience of pain.

Home / The Tint / Green.
It's almost inevitable that your interests within the aquarium hobby will change, or evolve over time. Perhaps it's because you're exposed to more and more ideas the longer you're active in the hobby. Maybe, you're just tired of the stuff you[ve been doing. Perhaps, you're interested in a new challenge. Or maybe, it's because injecting some new ideas into your existing work seems pretty exciting.
I'm not sure exactly why, but over the past few months, Ive started to develop a tiny, yet burgeoning interest in aquatic plants. Or should I say, utilizing aquatic plants in my aquariums. I'm not entirely certain what has triggered this change off heart. Perhaps it's as simple as the amazing aesthetic contrast which crisp green plants bring to the deep brown water I love so much?
I don't know, really.
The bottom line is that to me, the whole beautify of the natural, botanical-style aquarium is how it serves to facilitate interactions and relationships between a wide variety of life forms, ranging from bacteria to plants, to insects, and of course, our fishes. The relationship between the terrestrial elements and the aquatic habitats we love is utterly fascinating.
I suppose that including plants is becoming more interesting to me simply because it's another example of these interrelationships that makes this type of aquarium so compelling. Now, don't get me wrong here. Although plants look amazing, and there is sheer brilliance that you can achieve from an aesthetic standpoint by utilizing them in your tank, that's not my main focus.
Rather, I'm confident that it's the function part which fascinates me. I spent a little down time over the holidays watching some old videos of Takashi Amano at work, and it sort of "unlocked" some things in my mind. Sure, the man was a brilliant artist and a thought leader in utilizing aquatic plants to spread the message about embracing aspects of Nature in our homes. However, somewhere along the line, I think that the aquarium community got it twisted bit.
The emphasis has been so much on the aesthetics and art that little attention seems to be paid- other than the occasional mentions about how adore Nature- to the function of plants in an aquatic ecosystem, and the benefits they bring...supporting an entire community of organisms of all types. Stuff that Amano wrote about extensively. Rather, it seems to this outsider that it's mostly about the aesthetics and art, and that the term "Nature" has simply been used to describe the interpretation of his style.
When I listen to his words and at his earlier works from a standpoint of creating an aquatic microcosm in the aquarium, facilitating the growth of microorganisms, small crustaceans, and fishes- the whole thing changes...I believe this is what Amano was talking about when he said, "To know Mother Nature is to love her smallest creations..."
However, here's where I piss off a lot of die-hard "Nature Aquarium" fans, but I think I'm right:
I think that, on some level, we as a community have totally misinterpreted the above quote, and have turned his concepts and philosophies into a sort of "cargo cult", just elevating his words without really thinking about what they meant, based more on style and "rules" and aesthetics than on the substance. Celebrating the art, without really considering the "microcosm" aspect that's so much bigger. A lot of people love the quote I just shared, but they simply don't seem to reflect or discuss the importance of this idea in their work.
Now, not everyone takes this shallow interpretation, of course. However, when you look at what is so widely discussed online and elsewhere, it becomes pretty obvious that the "wholistic" philosophy he advocated seems to have gotten a lot less attention.
I think Im sort of with Amano on this one. It's about building a natural system. Nurturing microbial populations to foster a miniature closed ecosystem.
Roundabout approach, but I think that's where I'm at with aquatic plants. I believe that including them in some aquariums can help foster these populations to create such ecosystems. There are many who are true wizards when it comes to their care and husbandry, which is amazing. Again, I can't help but wonder what would happen if we place greater emphasis on the role of aquatic plants in this context.
For those who are offended...Don't be. Simply think about this concept and practice it.
I mean, it's weird, and probably way over-reactionary, I know. And I think that it's partially because we as a hobby have for years tried to "sanitize" Nature, and place a huge emphasis on "form" over function.
There really IS beauty in the silty, decomposing, earthy world of the Amazonian igarape, the Asian peat swamp, Malaysian mangal, African forest stream, etc. There is something graceful about the broken branches, accumulating leaves, and scattered seed pods on the floor of a tropical river.
It's a different mindset, for sure. It's not what we have typically appreciated because of our exposure to a more "artistically interpretive" version of Nature in the aquarium world.
Rather, I think we've spent so much effort distilling, editing, and otherwise sanitizing Nature that we might have actually lost sight of it's true beauty, and about how and why natural systems look and function the way they do. Blasphemy to some, no doubt...However, I think I might be at least partially correct here. Notice that I'm actually also a bit ambivalent to the "legit" biotope aquariums, as I think that some of the classification strategies and rules created in that world are a bit unrealistic and perhaps overreach habit and discourage some.
Amano understood natural aquatic habitats.
He appreciated them for what they were. Now, he loved the use of aquatic plants to represent them. They were sort of his "media" in creating his works. However, he also understood that there are other natural materials which can be utilized for this purpose, and which may be utilized in different ways to express Nature in the aquarium. He understood the importance of facilitating the growth of bacterial populations.
What would Amano think of the "cargo cult"-like reverence which the aquascaping world has bestowed upon him, without evolving his works in any real new direction, or making any attempts to understand his original philosophies about Nature? Oh, sure, he'd appreciate the amazing talent, the beauty, and the effort that we see displayed by hobbyists worldwide. Yet, I can't help but wonder if, in his own way, he'd ask, "Really? Is that all?"
He GOT it. He understood the relationship between Nature and art absolutely. It's there. He saw beauty in all forms of Nature and encouraged us to express these details in our aquariums. In many different ways. However, he also understood the importance of supporting aside variety of organisms in his aquarium systems, despite the heavy emphasis on their appearance,
Please seek it out in his work.
I'm simply and even humbly (really!) asking for us to look at things in a more open, less nuanced way. I'd love to see us aquarists -at least once in a while- venture way outside of our comfort zones and try something a bit different. To not get caught up in names and titles above comprehending the bigger picture. To look long and hard at the aquatic habitats found in Nature. And to see the true beauty that's there before we see fit to "edit."
Ask yourself why things look the way they do in Nature, and observe how the fishes which live there interact with their environment. Consider how these habitats formed, how they function biologically, and how fishes have adapted to their habitat..Think about esoteric stuff, like why the fishes are shaped or colored they way they are. What kinds of foods they might find there. And why aquatic plants grow where they do.
Yeah, let's get back to the "plants" thing again.
I greatly admire those of you who DO understand and work with aquatic plants. I've had more and more contact with fellow vendors who specialize in the plant side of aquascaping, and I'm impressed by their ability to know exactly what type of plant to use in a specific situation.
Now, a lot of the questions I receive are stuff like, "What plants can I use in my blackwater aquarium?"
And of course, I can give you some "textbook-type" answers about which ones have worked for me.
That being said, there ARE some species which are known to come from the habitats and niches that we play with. And again, if you know me, you're also keenly aware by now that I have an annnoying tendency to scan various scientific papers in a sometimes future attempt to glean little kernels of knowledge about the natural world that we can utilize in our aquarium work...
Here's one for you:
Junk and Piedade (1993) identified 388 herbaceous species in the igapós of Rio Negro, notably species of Echinodorus, Nymphea, Cabomba, Utricularia, and Polygonum!
That's significant, because we're talking about plants found in blackwater habitats in the wild. Some are aquatics which we have regular access to in the hobby! In fact, some of which many of us have kept at one time or another, right? If you recall from our past discussions, a couple of years ago I very successfully kept a significant population of Polygonum in my office blackwater, botanical-style "leaf litter" tank!
IAs more and more hobbyists from diverse areas of specialization get into the blackwater/botanical-style aquarium game, we're seeing more and more experimentation with plants.
And I have a sort of theory that, while a lot of plants aren't found in blackwater habitats, many, many species are adaptable to this environment in the aquarium, especially if their lighting and nutrition requirements are met.
In general, there are a few issues we should consider when it comes to aquatic plants in blackwater aquariums..the primary one being that theme we've touched on before:
It's a known fact that light doesn't penetrate as effectively in the tinted water of blackwater environments.That's ONE of the reasons you typically don't see a lot of algae in many blackwater systems. And floating plants, of course, tend to do well-because you don't really have the "light penetration factor" influencing them as much as say, rooted plants. Light penetration is a limiting factor, other things being "more-or-less" equal, right?
Well, yeah...you can compensate with brighter light...the beauty of LEDs, right? And of course, just having light in our tanks isn't enough.
The other big issue to consider when keeping aquatic plants in blackwater aquariums is that, to some extent, the well-trodden opinion that blackwater may be described as more "nutrient poor", and having much lower ionic concentrations of calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium than clearwater environments.
So how do you overcome this?
You fertilize your tank- just like you do in a "clearwater" system. You'll probably have to adjust your doses to compensate for the near lack of the above-referenced major ions, but it's pretty much that simple, in my experience. You'll use more fertilizers. And if you're growing plants that rely on rich substrates, like Cryptocoryne, I've found that you really don't have to do all that much differently than you do in a "clearwater" tank.
Like, use rich substrates and fertilize supplementally as required.
Well, in theory, right?
I recently listened to my fave aquatic podcast, "The George Farmer Podcast" (you have to listen to his podcast if you have the slightest interest in aquatic plants and aquascaping. George does a fantastic job at discussing all of the associated concepts. The episode I found most interesting was about substrates. Specifically, how to utilize various substrate materials for healthy aquatic plant growth.
One of the classics that has sort of went this route is a planted aquarium approach called "The Walstad Method." Many of you have already heard of it, so I'll give about the most rudimentary summation of the concept, and you can rely on your fave search engine or whatever to "fill in the blanks" if you need a refresher.
The idea is to provide a closed ecosystem where the plants and fishes work together to provide for each other's needs. Unlike a traditional planted aquarium, this approach utilizes a substrate comprised of rich soil, capped with sand, to keep the plants growing rapidly, and outcompeting nuisance algae, while providing nutrient export and nitrogen cycling via their lush growth.
I immediately found this to be fascinating. As a reef person, you become really attuned to "taking care of the ecosystem" of your aquarium in order for everything else to thrive. Well, either you learn to look at your reef as a little "microcosm"and care for the bacteria and other "lower" life forms in the tank as an important component, or you simply suck as a reefer- and your tank will, too.
I'm being serious...As many of you know, reef tanks are absolutely dependent upon you understanding this concept. Nature will "hand you your ass on a platter" in the form of nuisance algae, dead corals, and sick fishes if you can't figure it out. Period. Full stop.
So, yeah- everything is interrelated.
The things I like best about this method are that you need to really wait a couple of months or so before adding fishes, until the nitrogen cycle stabilizes, and the fact that the technique relies far more on Nature than it does on CO2 systems, additives, and all sorts of other gear. So, yeah- it espouses/requires patience, the learning and embracing of natural processes and "rules", and eschews "gear reliance" in favor of "brain reliance"- how could I NOT love this?
And that "ethos" sounds oddly familiar to our work with botanical-style natural aquariums (blackwater, brackish, and otherwise)- doesn't it? I'll even forgive the awful and insulting moniker of "low tech" that the planted world ascribes to this approach...I mean, is Nature "low tech?" Have you ever read a scholarly article about the nitrogen cycle?
Absorb THAT and try to use the term "low tech" to describe this stuff. Talk to the guys at NASA who have spent decades studying natural nutrient processing to figure out how to build systems for waste management on future spaceships, and get back to me with that thought...
Okay, so, wow...going on an on an on here. Bottom line:
I'm more interested in aquatic plants than ever before. And I think that part of it is because there are so many exciting interactions which occur between plants and organisms in these systems.
You might actually see more snd more aquatic plants in my systems this year.
Good times. Much learning and experimenting ahead.
Are you into this, too?
Let's get after it. Do the work. Execute the experiments. Make the mistakes. Learn the process. Apply patience. Rinse and repeat.
Stay educated. Stay focused. Stay diligent. Stay open-minded...

Man acquitted of murder over Sydney hit and run death in 2014

Meakin acquittal over hit run
Michael Meakin has been acquitted over the murder of Nicholas McEvoy.
There were emotional scenes in a Sydney court on Monday as a convicted killer was acquitted of murder.
Michael Meakin has been in jail since 2016 after being found guilty over the hit-and-run death of Nicholas McEvoy.
But in a retrial, a judge acquitted him because there were no eyewitnesses to the hit and run, the crown case was circumstantial and expert evidence on whether Mr McEvoy was hit on the road or the verge was not conclusive "beyond reasonable doubt".
"I have to say, to deliberately run over Mr McEvoy would be an extraordinarily disproportionate response to what was a minor slight," said Acting Justice Peter Hidden.
Almost three years ago, a court found Meakin deliberately mowed down 30-year-old McEvoy after consuming an estimated 21 schooners of beer and arguing with him at a pub at Plumpton in the Sydney's west in February, 2014.

He handed himself into police the next day, a jury subsequently convicted him of murder and he was sentenced to a minimum of 18 years in jail.
Following the acquittal, McEvoy's parents were too upset to talk outside court.

Accurate Density Determination of Asphalt
Sponsored by Micromeritics Instrument CorporationMar 11 2016

Asphalt or bitumen is a gummy, black viscous semi-solid material used primarily in road pavement construction, waterproofing or as a mastic or glue. According to the bitumen industry, 85% of all bitumen used world-wide is mixed with aggregate filler and used in asphalt pavements and 10% is used for roofing or waterproofing1.
In 2007 it was estimated that about 1.6 trillion metric tonnes of asphalt was produced worldwide and demand continues to grow2. Around 90% of the world's roads are asphalt paved and the network is increasing year on year. The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) estimates investment in road infrastructure across the US and Europe is in the order of $190 billion per year in the public sector alone3.
Why Asphalt Pavement?
Asphalt is made from stones, sand, and gravel, held together by asphalt cement (a mixture of bitumen and Portland cement). Asphalt pavements are designed to last and are built to handle the heaviest traffic loads from cars to aircraft4. An asphalt perpetual pavement can last indefinitely with routine surface maintenance/replacement every 12 to 20 years. Asphalt is one of the most versatile materials for road paving with a range of formulations suitable for airports, car parks, roads, racetracks and even superstructures like dams, which use an asphalt concrete core. Asphalt roads actually provide a better driving surface than concrete. Advantages of asphalt:
Smoother compared to concrete meaning lower fuel consumption, quieter roads and less overall cost
More 'grip' compared to concrete for better road holding
Quicker to install than concrete and maintenance is swift, cost-effective and less disruptive
Old asphalt can be recycled and less than 1% ultimately ends up in land-fill4
Asphalt Density Testing
Asphalt density (weight of material per volume) is one of the most important parameters used in calculations to determine the quality and quantity of asphalt needed to pave roads. To calculate the weight of material needed for a project awareness of the compacted density of the material is essential5. The quality and uniformity of the asphalt mixture determines whether a road will be paved evenly to achieve the highest quality, most resilient surface. The standard test method (ASTM D70-09) for measuring and comparing the density of semi-solid bituminous materials or asphalt, as prescribed by ASTM international, is a pycnometer method6.
A pycnometer is a glass device made up of two chambers and is used for determining the density or more accurately the volume of irregular shaped solids or semi-solids. The sample is placed in the calibrated pycnometer and this is then weighed and the remaining volume filled with water. The filled pycnometer is heated or cooled to the test temperature and then accurately weighed. The density of the sample is calculated from the pycnometer mass and the mass of the water displaced by the sample in the filled pycnometer.
The ASTM International Standard Test Method for Density of Semi-Solid Bituminous Materials (Pycnometer Method) - (ASTM D70-09) is not without its complications. One of the biggest problems is that the process is quite protracted, requiring more time than modern analytical methods. In addition, the pycnometer process requires repeated heating and cooling using a water bath as well as multiple measurements with an analytical balance. Without specialised analytical training and careful attention this method can be prone to analyst error. Also if the glass breaks during the measuring process, the whole test must be repeated from the beginning with a new clean glass pycnometer. Finally the glass pycnometer method requires a much larger sample than more modern methods.
We ran density by pycnometer using the Hubbard-Carmick vials for years on our coker feed samples. It first involved weighing a clean pyc., then carefully filling it with water to the very top. You then replace the cap, forcing water through the hole in the cap to ensure there's no air present. If there are bubbles, you have to refill the vial. You then weigh the vial with water, then dry it out.
The sample, often being too solid to pour, is heated. Once it's pourable (and generally extremely hot), it's very carefully poured into the vial to the half point. If you pour too much, it affects the accuracy of the test and the vial must be cleaned and the whole process restarted. The sample is allowed to cool, then the weight of the sample is taken.
Water is then added to the vial to the top, as before, and a final weight taken. The final value is a calculation of these four weights, which is then referenced to API tables for a result. The vial could then be cleaned (a tedious task unto itself) and reused later.
The entire process was extremely time-intensive and in a busy production lab it was an unwelcome task.
With the AccuPyc, we've been able to cut what was a 30 minute to an hour task into a few minutes of prep work: heat the sample, weigh the cup, pour the sample into the cup, allow to cool, then run. The results from the instrument have been consistent with those from the pyc and are likely more accurate, as it takes away a lot of the human error inherent with using a pycnometer.
We've had the instrument several years now, and I still have technicians thanking me for purchasing it!

New Methodology
A modern analytical technique utilizes an automated pycnometer such as the AccuPyc II 1340 TEC, a fully automatic gas displacement pycnometer. This system can provide volume and density measurements that meet the ASTM D70-09 method7,8. The AccuPyc II 1340 TEC series provides high-speed and precision volume measurements while also removing potential for operator induced error. By utilizing inexpensive disposable sample cups, it is a much cleaner, faster and easier method. Finally, the sample volumes required for testing are substantially smaller than the classical technique.
The AccuPyc II 1340 TEC includes an integrated Peltier thermoelectric controller (TEC) which provides temperature stability and accurate temperature control, ideal for obtaining true or apparent volume and density of viscous materials such as asphalt at controlled temperatures. The PC based control software of the AccuPyc II 1340 TEC provides an ideal way to calculate and record asphalt density and volume while allowing data to be closely correlated to results obtained with ASTM Test Method D70-09 if required.

Asphalt Sample Average Density AccuPyc II TEC Solution (n=11 (g/cc) %Relative Standard Deviation (n=11) ASTM Method D70-9 Density (g/cc) %Difference Between Methods
Sample A 1.01906 0.03 1.01758 0.1453
Sample B 1.02543 0.03 1.02536 0.0067
Sample C 1.01821 0.07 1.01848 0.0263
Sample D 1.02563 0.09 1.02576 0.0125
The AccuPyc II 1340 TEC is clearly an ideal solution to providing rapid and accurate density calculations for semi-solid bituminous materials. With disposable 3.3 cm3 sample cups to limit contamination and minimize cleaning of the sample chamber between analyses, and an integrated temperature control and data handling system, the instrument provides a clear advantage. A recent comparison of the ASTM D70-09 method and the AccuPyc II TEC to determine the density of four different asphalt samples showed only a 0.003% to 0.026% difference between the two sets of results7. This shows that the AccuPyc II TEC can provide a much easier and rapid analytical method for the asphalt industry.
