Taking Power to the People:
Knowledge Plus Action
NARPA Rights Conference -- 2000 WORKSHOPS*
(November 8-11, 2000 Doubletree Hotel, Sacramento)
7:15 - 8:30 - The Politics of Memory: Ex-patient Perspectives on the History of U.S. Mental Health Services - Pat Deegan
Pat Deegan, Ph.D., is Director of Training at the National Empowerment Center. For the past three years, she has been working with other ex-patients to discover, recover and celebrate ex-patient history. Her research has lead her into the old vaults and wards of state mental institutions in order to capture images and stories that have rarely been seen by the public. She will share some of these images and stories during the slide show and will reflect on the liberating praxis of a mad-peoples' history of madness. Dr. Deegan is also an independent consultant and has given keynote addresses, lectures, and workshops across the United States, Canada, Europe, Scandinavia, Australia, New Zealand and Israel. She specializes in developing trainings and lectures on the concrete application of the concepts of recovery and Empowerment. Her papers have been translated into Spanish, Hebrew, French, Dutch, Norwegian, and German.

Michael Perlin - The Right of Institutionalized Persons with Mental Disabilities to Voluntary Sexual Interaction: Beyond the Last Frontier?
The question of the right of institutionalized persons with mental disabilities (or those so perceived) to engage in consensual sexual activity is one of the most threatening to be raised to clinicians, mental health line workers, administrators, advocates, attorneys, or family members. The taboos and stigmas attached to sexual behaviors are inevitably heightened when coupled with and conflated with stereotypes of the meaning of mental disability. This question must be considered from, simultaneously, legal, clinical, social answer, administrative, political, and behavioral perspectives. It is impossible to understand the complexities of the topic without considering the pervasive impact of "sanism" (an irrational prejudice of the same quality and character of other irrational prejudices that cause and are reflected in prevailing social attitudes of racism, sexism, homophobia and ethnic bigotry) and "pretextuality" (ways that social and legal institutions accept and encourage, either implicitly or explicitly, testimonial dishonesty, especially on the part of experts) on developments in this area.
In the past four decades, a sexual revolution changed the way we think about gender, sex roles, personal relationships, and sexual expression. The last thirty years have seen a legal civil rights revolution affect the way that we think about persons with mental disabilities, both in institutional and community settings. Advocates can help direct attention to the relationship between these two revolutions...
Michael Perlin, J.D., is a Professor of Law at the New York Law School. He litigated landmark cases such as Rennie v. Klein.

On May 13th, I'll be recording a podcast with Chris Kresser of The Healthy Skeptic. Chris interviewed me about a year ago, and I thought it went well. Chris is a good host and asks interesting questions.
This time around, we're going to do things a bit differently. I'll start with a little overview of my current thoughts on obesity, then we'll answer reader questions. The show is going to be mostly about obesity and related matters, but I may answer a couple of questions that aren't related to obesity if they're especially interesting. There are two ways to leave questions: either in the comments section of this post, or the comments section of Chris's post. The show will air on May 24th.

Q: Is there a way to know if the solution curve to a differential equation is an even or odd function? Suppose you are given a differential equation and a set of initial conditions (or boundary conditions) pointing to a unique solution.  Is there any way to know off-hand if the solution will be an even function, an odd function, or neither?
This is, I suppose, tricky, because the fundamental set of solutions could include both even and odd functions (say, sine and cosine).  The trick is knowing a priori that, for a given set of conditions, the constant coefficient for all of the odd solutions is zero and the constant coefficient for all (or some?) of the even functions are non-zero values.  Or vice versa.
Can this be done?

A: In some cases there is. In what follows, I'll restrict myself to talking about linear (but not necessarily homogeneous) ODEs, so they're of the form
$$
\sum_{k=0}^n u_k(x)\frac{dy^k}{dx^k}=v(x)
$$
I'll say that a function "has a parity" if it's either even or odd.
The simplest possibility is that your differential equation itself is symmetric about the origin: that is, if $f(-x)$ is a solution whenever $f(x)$ is. (This happens when $v(x)$ and all the $u_{2k}$ all have one parity, and the $u_{2k+1}$ all have the opposite parity.)
In this case, because the equation is linear, convex combinations of solutions are also solutions. In particular, the even function $\frac{f(x)+f(-x)}{2}$ and the odd function $\frac{f(x)-f(-x)}{2}$ are solutions for any solution $f(x)$.
If, in addition, your initial conditions are at $x=0$, or your boundary conditions are symmetric around $x=0$, you can use uniqueness to check whether a given solution has a parity. Essentially, if the conditions you're given are compatible with having a parity, and also sufficient to specify a unique solution $f_0$, that solution must have a parity: because the conditions being compatible with having a parity means that the function $\frac{f_0(x)\pm f_0(-x)}{2}$ will also satisfy those conditions.
For example, the ordinary differential equation
$$
y''+(x^2+1)y=0
$$
is symmetric about the origin, so it has both even and odd solutions. If we start with the initial conditions $y(0)=2$, $y'(0)=0$, then for any particular solution $f$ satisfying these conditions, $\frac{f(x)+f(-x)}{2}$ will also satisfy them, and is also a solution to the equation. By uniqueness, we must have $f(x)=\frac{f(x)+f(-x)}{2}$, and so $f$ is even.
Similarly, if $f$ is a particular solution satisfying the boundary value conditions $y(1)=3$, $y(-1)=-3$, then $\frac{f(x)-f(-x)}{2}$ will also be a solution satisfying those conditions, and so it follows by uniqueness that $f$ is odd.
If the equation is not symmetric about the origin in this way, demanding that it have a solution with a parity will lead to a reduction in the degree of the equation. For example, suppose we want to look for even solutions to the equation
$$
y'+y=e^x\tag{*}
$$
Any such solution will also satisfy the equation
$$
-y'+y=e^{-x}
$$
obtained from $(*)$ by the transformation $y(x) \mapsto y(-x)$. Adding these two equations gives us $y=\frac{e^x+e^{-x}}{2}$ as the only possible solution, and then we can check that this does in fact satisfy $(*)$.
On the other hand, if we had started with the equation
$$
y'+2y=e^x
$$
you can check that it would have no solutions in common with
$$
-y'+2y=e^{-x}
$$
and so it has no even solutions.

The Citadel Fire which was reported to the Craig Interagency Dispatch Center late this morning is estimated to be 1,600 acres in Moffat County18 miles southwest of Maybell. It's burning in pinion and juniper trees and sagebrush on Bureau of Land Management and Colorado State lands. Concerns on this incident include rough terrain and limited access. The fire is burning actively at this time and spotting ahead of the blaze.
A load of eight smokejumpers were dropped into the area early afternoon to begin fighting the fire. Winds were erratic and strong pushing the fire to about 1,500 acres by 5 p.m. In addition to the smokejumpers a Moffat County Sheriff's Office engine, one BLM engine and one air tanker are assigned. Two 20 person state hand crews will arrive tomorrow.
Moffat County Sheriff's Office and BLM fire managers are assessing threats to structures near the incident.
"Fire fighter and public safety is always our first priority," said BLM Fire Management Officer Colt Mortenson.
The two additional wildland fires are in Rio Blanco County.
The East Tschuddi Fire reported at 3:30 p.m., July 20, is about 500 acres on BLM and Colorado Parks and Wildlife lands 16 miles northwest of Meeker. Crews assigned to this incident took actions to protect a historical CPW cabin located on the fire line by burning out around the cabin which removes fuel for the fire. Another CPW cabin is one and one half mile northeast of the blaze. The fire is burning sagebrush, gamble oak, timber and pinion and juniper trees.
Assigned to the East Tschuddi Fire are two 20 person hand crews, two Meeker Volunteer Fire Department engines, one BLM engine, two helicopters, and one single engine air tanker or SEAT.
The Dillon Fire is in the Piceance Basin 20 miles southeast of Rangely. It's about two acres with one Rangely Fire Protection District engine and one BLM engine assigned. It's burning primarily in pinion and juniper. Fire personnel on scene are making good progress. No structures are threatened.
This information provided by the Northwest Colorado Fire Management Unit Fire Information Officer as of 9 p.m. on July 20.

They said it would be sold on the court house steps. They were not exaggerating. Just not the front steps, the back ones. Wherever. I just had to see it with my own eyes and that means share it with you.
Soooo, if you ever wanted to see what a foreclosure auction of a community center and library building looks like, here's your chance. They reall do say "Once, twice, three times…. sold!
The story can now go on. And on. And on.
Many thanks, Stan, for your continuing efforts to keep our community informed about such important events.
Thanks Stan for recording an important event for PP.


My interview with artist Richard Bell was posted on The Art Life a few months ago but as Richard Bell's new exhibition "Imagining Victory" is now showing at Artspace in Sydney (until 11 August) I thought I'd repost the link for the full interview in case you missed it.

I had begun to think that interest in my little contribution to this blog was waning enough that I would be able to slip right past the post in which I had promised to elucidate my multiple disasters.
Most of the veteran collectors ask for Guy, and yesterday I had to answer that Guy was not available, could I possibly be of any help? Just before I completed a phone call with Mr. W., he asked me (in the classic gentlemanly manner of many from the southwestern states) for a preview. Of my calamities.
And so, with a nod toward Arizona, I am sitting down to recount a few of my more unfortunate escapades. I have called the same person with the same information twice, and neglected ever calling an important other. Through the first ten days I went fuzzy every time I needed to pull a title and date because I couldn't even begin to locate the identifiers amidst all the fancy, scrolly banner headings. But many such moments were never known to any of the rare newspaper community because the group of people here at Timothy Hughes is absolutely splendid, and they countered most of them before anyone even noticed. I sent the skylift up to the shelf under the roofline, lowered it, maneuvered the 20' row and parked. I was back at my desk before someone casually reminded me that the unwieldy volume had to be returned to the same location. Friday I answered the phone, forgot the business name, and then just began to laugh — because what else could I do? It's hard to be new, but it's downright ironic in a place so full of old things. Surely the papers yield evidence that I am not, by far, alone in my muddles.
Still, the most colossal so far — including my omission of eBay tracking numbers, which potentially plummeted our heretofore stellar ratings — was the rare paper that I sold to two different people. In case you were wondering, there was only one. We didn't have a second issue anywhere in the roughly 12,000 searchable square feet. I don't know enough to help with the hunt, but everyone capable tried any space or collection that could possibly contain this gem. And, remarkably, they looked at me with something akin to regret when each location had been exhausted. Somehow, to their chagrin, they had not saved me from my own folly.
Mercifully, the fellow that I had previously introduced to the paper (I used the word "stunning" as I described it to him) was very gracious when I called. But in all sincerity, while I seldom make the same error too many times, I am working to meld all this newness into the well-oiled machine that is Timothy Hughes Rare & Early Newspapers …without excessive further ado.
So, if Guy isn't available, one of these days I really will be able to help.
Each month the staff of Timothy Hughes Rare & Early Newspapers sends out a newsletter to our members which includes special offers, discounts, alerts to new inventory, and information related to the rare newspaper collectible.

In case you own a store then you have to know that there are many cases of piracy and you have to handle the loss. Particularly if it's a joyful season and also you see range of guests, activities like this boosts as it becomes difficult that you can keep an eye on everyone and robbers take advantage. Even in normal time, it's hard to differentiate amongst the normal clients and thieves as you won't be able to tell simply by looking at their very pamelor for sale own faces. Therefore it creates the necessity of some people monitoring activities of everyone coming in a store. This can be beautifully done by price tag security businesses as they experience specially experienced guards particularly for retails secureness.
There are many businesses providing manned security services in market although all are www.wanzaidangxia.com not really same. You need to choose the best a person promising to give you best products. This can be very little difficult while narrowing down the available options and selecting the best a person requires analysis and know-how. Here are some tips that can assist you in making your selection easier. One thing that you need to verify about a protection service provider enterprise is all their license. Just make a check whether they have all essential license and authority to provide security services or not. There are many scam cases in past. It is therefore important to verify.
Get recommendations from other store owners as they have got experience of sell security firms and can very best guide you to a good security firm. Request people about the good reliability companies of your area and contact them. Do web based research to see the best company in your area. Acquire reviews of folks on them. If they happen to be a well known organization then there should be many persons hired these people for security guard services. Try to get advice from such customers. Inquire further Buy dulcolax suppository from target for the sample engagement and check out the cost quoted by simply them through retail secureness companies and compares the services offered by these people. Come into a conclusion only after evaluating every aspect of the contract as you are a entrepreneurs and I think an individual want a high-priced deal. There is not any benefit of service security guards if you cannot trust all of them as they will probably be handling the safety of your retail store. Also I am certainly not saying that you must trust anyone. This necessitates a need of an reputed sells security shape who has a lot of experience of this kind of and who people reliability.

Desperados III Closed Beta Set for July 9 to 21
Despera-Beta! Mimimi Games is looking for closed beta testers
A nasty bug. And you. High noon, in front of the Saloon ... the clock strikes 12 ... *bang* and he's sent to meet his maker! You are exactly the gunman, Mimimi Games is looking for - we need fans and interested players to participate in the closed beta test for Desperados III.
Desperados III, the upcoming real-time tactics game, was recently nominated as Best Strategy Game of E3 for the official Game Critics Awards. Although Desperados III is really breathtaking, it didn't had a fair chance to win, as one of the competitors was the one and only John Wick. And everyone knows you shouldn't mess with John Wick.
Details about the closed beta
The Closed Beta will start on Tuesday, July 9th and will end on Sunday, July 21st. Out of all applications Mimimi and THQNordic will select 500 participants which will get the chance to play the game, which is entering the final stages of production.
Players can sign up for the Desperados III Closed Beta here.
"This is not the a "pre order now to play the game before anyone - but we don't really need you feedback because release is in just two weeks"-closed beta, people might be used to nowadays. We really want to invite the community to play the game while it's still under construction and share their thoughts and wishes with us. And we want to have the time to react to the players' input and to optimize the game together." says Dennis Huszak, Narrative Director at Mimimi Games.
Desperados III will ride into the sunset on your PC, your PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and your Xbox One in 2019.

Our Client had hired a local moving company to transport their belongings from one location in Ft. Bend County to another location in Harris County. When everything was unpacked the client was missing over $100,000 worth of silver along with two other items.
The Owner of the moving company allowed Edna Velez and Chief Investigator J.J. Gradoni to interview all of the employees that were involved in packing, moving and unpacking our Client's property. Prior to conducting the interviews, the owner of the moving company provided Investigators with all of the pertinent information regarding his employees, that allowed us to conduct a background investigation on each one prior to doing the interviews. Six of the eight employees, on our Client's property, had criminal history. One of the employees, who at the time was the main suspect, was on Probation for the Burglary of a former employer's office, which also was a moving company. The second most likely suspect, was the grandson of the Owner's Administrative Assistant.
During the course of the interviews our second suspect, the grandson, appeared to be the most likely culprit, along with the female on probation for Burglary. During our interview with the grandson he confessed to taking the silver and selling it at a Coin & Jewelry location. At the end of his interview/confession he asked if it would be possible to have a face to face conversation with our Client. Investigators then transported the suspect to the Client's location, where the suspect apologized to them, for stealing the items. After we left the Client's house we went by the Coin & Jewelry location, where he sold the items, and asked if they would not melt the items, since they were stolen. The merchant agreed to do so and the package was turned over to a Ft. Bend County Detective, who recovered a number of the items taken from our Client, referring the case to the Ft. Bend County District Attorney for Prosecution.


This article explores China's engagement with the development of norms on security in Africa, with particular attention to its changing post-conflict engagement. Applying the gradualism characteristic of its approach to policy formulation and implementation, the Chinese policymaking community is playing a key role in seeking to redefine the contemporary international approach to managing African security dilemmas. By reinterpreting concepts such as liberal peacebuilding, Chinese policymakers have begun a process of reframing established norms on security and development that are more in line with its principles and core interests. This agenda in the making has enabled the Chinese government to move beyond the constraints of a rhetoric rooted in non-interference in domestic affairs that prohibited involvement in African security issues to a set of practices that allows China to play a more substantive role in security on the continent.

At WOOLDOG we have gathered all our knowledge, experience and passion to create the highest quality dog sweater made of 100% top quality merino wool.
At WOOLDOG we have gathered all our knowledge, experience and passion to create the highest quality dog sweater made of 100% top quality merino wool. Fibres of this wool are so precious that they are stored in safes in Argentina, New Zealand and Italy.
The quality of this wool was an inspiration for us to create a sweater like no other. The Supreme Sweater was designed to be the best solution for your dog. And that is exactly what it is. Every sweater is made by hand and with great attention to detail.
The tangerine colour of the sweater refers to the harsh climate of the mountainous areas of New Zealand covered with tangerine-brown grass – Merino sheep's favourite. The Supreme pullover weave also correlates with the climate. It resembles grass intertwined with ears of grain – a view so typical at the foot of New Zealand mountains.
The softness and delicacy of the Supreme sweater is far from coincidence. Merino sheep from New Zealand grow very warm wool to stay warm even in very low temperatures. Now we are offering this softness to your dog. Wrapped in the Supreme sweater your furry friend will feel comfortable walking on cooler days, as well as being at home if they usually snuggle under a duvet or a blanket. Say goodbye to the old routine, as wearing our sweater your dog will be enclosed in its delicate embrace.
Visit our other pages to see more Supreme sweaters in the Deep Steel and Powder Pink colour.

Q: How does modify jQuery find function to be used in the specified script? I have many problems when I create some web application that can dynamically load content. Because of script in loaded contain does not know where to be placed in document and how many duplicated object will be loaded in one document.
Therefore, I want to create some function for modified find function of jQuery object that will be used by script of loaded document like the following code.

The script of "loaded-control-2" object could has some selector like the below code.
$('.interested-style')

In my example document, the above JavaScript code will return three objects. However, if I have some function for modified find function using the selector in specified area of code. The above script should return only one object that is correct result.
The solution might works like the following code.
var dynamic-script = loadSection('some-section-name');
var modified-jQuery = getModifiedjQuery('loaded-control-2');

(function()
{
    eval(dynamic-script);
})(modified-jQuery);

Thanks,
PS.1 If you directly modify jQuery object, another script on this page will use your new jQuery selector engine.

A: I'm not sure I understand what you want to do that cannot be done in jQuery today.
If you only want to modify the div with class interested-style that is a child of the div with class loaded-control-X then you can just use:
$('.loaded-control-X .interested-style')

This is know as the "ancestor decedent" selector, it will match any elements with a class interested-style that are descendants of any element with class loaded-control-X
If you only want the children of the element with class loaded-control-X you can use the "parent > child" selector:
$('.loaded-control-X > .interested-style')

The jQuery API is very flexible in how you can specify elements.  See the jQuery Selectors docs for more.
Given your example if I want to apply a function to the div with class interested-style that is a child of the div with class loaded-control-2 I would use:
$('.loaded-control-2 .intereted-style').someFunction()

A: So, for this theoretical extension of the .find() function, how would it know where it was looking in the structure of the site to correctly find the specific element?  Would this happen on a click event, or have any way of finding the element's parent?  Could some sort of unique id be generated for each div with interested-style, giving you something unique to select by?

A: I just see a optional parameter that is context can be use for limiting scope of selector.

jQuery( expression, [context] )
This function accepts a string
containing a CSS selector which is
then used to match a set of elements.
The core functionality of jQuery
centers around this function.
Everything in jQuery is based upon
this, or uses this in some way. The
most basic use of this function is to
pass in an expression (usually
consisting of CSS), which then finds
all matching elements.  By default, if
no context is specified, $() looks for
DOM elements within the context of the
current HTML document. If you do specify a context, such as a DOM element or jQuery object, the expression will be matched against the contents of that context.

For example, you can create some function like my recent question to automatic add parameter into every jQuery selector. Please look at the follwing code for clear understand.
// normal select
$('#some-object');

// You can limit scope of jQuery selector like this
$('#some-object', '#scope-object');

So, you don't need any modify to find function anymore.

CHIPPENHAM TOWN boss Mark Collier has claimed Saturday's National League South game against basement side Weston-super-Mare could be a potential banana skin for his team, writes JONATHAN LEIGHFIELD.
Weston are currently sit bottom of the league with eight points, but in the last month have drawn against ex-Football League side Torquay as well as picking up their first league win against Hungerford Town.
And last Saturday, they beat FA Cup heroes Slough Town 3-2 in the third qualifying round of the FA Trophy.
Collier is impressed with the Somerset outfit and has tipped them to avoid relegation, but he knows his players must not take anything for granted if they are to come away with the points on Saturday.
He said: "They're bottom of the league, but a very dangerous opponent. They've got an inventive manager and I've got a lot of time for the way they play.
"They've made some shrewd signings in the last month, so I don't expect Western-super-Mare to be relegated. I know they're quite a long way behind, but I really don't see them going down.
"It's a big banana skin because everyone would expect us, with our home record, to win the game, but we'll show them respect. We'll need to make sure that we're better than we have been in the two cup games.
"They play in a different way to most sides, they pass the ball for fun, they wait for a press and try and play through that, so I expect it to be a difficult game.
"If people are turning up and thinking 'oh, it's eighth versus bottom, it's going to be a rout' then forget that, because we're in for a tough game on Saturday.
"We're used to difficult games, it's nothing that we fear, but I just want my players to be aware that this won't be a game we can expect to just turn up and roll them over."
Chippenham are currently one point off the play-off places and Collier is optimistic, heading into the festive period, that his players can bring some Christmas cheer to their supporters.
He said: "We're in a good place in the league, we've got a busy period coming up, but it should be a good time to be a Chippenham supporter.
"We're slowly establishing ourselves in the National South and we've still got work to do, we're all aware of that but we're all working hard towards our aim.

Cancer vaccine tested in novel delivery system
in Drug-Delivery Devices on February 23, 2017
Image of the 3M Hollow Microstructured Transdermal System provided by 3M
A cancer vaccine currently in clinical trials is being administered via a novel drug-delivery system. Panacea Pharmaceuticals Inc. is using the 3M Hollow Microstructured Transdermal System (hMTS) to deliver its investigational vaccine directly to the patient's dermis.
"We have been working together for the past several years to move Panacea's Cancer Vaccine product from preclinical studies and into clinical trials using our hMTS to deliver the vaccine," explains Dr. Lisa Dick, MTS New Technology and Product Development Manager for 3M Drug Delivery Systems. "3M has supported Panacea in the development of the data package and submission for this clinical trial."
Above: Dr. Lisa Dick, MTS New Technology and Product Development Manager for 3M Drug Delivery Systems
Benefits have already been seen in the cancer vaccine's preclinical trials. "There are three advantages to Panacea for using the 3M hMTS system," says Steven A. Fuller, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer, Panacea Pharmaceuticals Inc., in a statement provided by a 3M spokesperson. "First, Panacea has demonstrated in preclinical studies that intradermal delivery of the cancer vaccine using the hMTS gives rise to a stronger immune response, than does the traditional intramuscular route of injection. This intradermal delivery is critical for enhanced efficacy of the cancer vaccine. The second benefit is the ability of the device to deliver the vaccine to the dermis consistently. The third is the market benefit of a cancer vaccine product that is matched with a delivery device that ensures consistent, easy delivery of the full vaccine dose."
Above: Steven A. Fuller, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer, Panacea Pharmaceuticals Inc.
The hMTS employs microneedles made from a liquid crystal polymer micromolded into the microneedle array, rather than stainless-steel microneedles. "Even though the microneedles have a limited duration of contact with the human body, the polymer is a USP Class VI material, the same type used in implantable medical devices. Biocompatibility studies on the molded microneedles address the limited duration of contact in this study. Because the arrays are micromolded, the process is easily scalable," Dr. Lisa Dick says.
"3M's hMTS is simple and easy to use for delivery of high volumes, up to 2.0 milliliters, of biologics and vaccines to the skin. The benefits of our device for cancer vaccine delivery include reproducible delivery to the dermis of skin to generate an optimal immune response, potential to deliver high volumes of vaccine, and the flexibility to have the vaccine given by the health care provider or patient," she continues.
"Engineers who have experience in injection molding are stunned by the high fidelity and resolution of the microneedle structures," explains Mike Sivigny, MTS Manufacturing Manager. "Microreplication is a 3M core technology, and microneedles are an example of how microreplication can be applied to meet a need in the marketplace."
Above: Mike Sivigny, MTS Manufacturing Manager, for 3M Drug Delivery Systems
3M microneedles can also be customized for attachment to other delivery systems, such as pumps or syringes. "It is possible to retrofit 3M microneedle arrays for attachment to devices via luer lock or other mechanisms," Sivigny says. "If the prototypes yield promising results, the next step is to fabricate single-cavity mold tooling to provide 'production quality' microneedle components for experimentation and potential clinical trials."
Future innovations are planned for the microneedles. "Because of our micromolding process, it is straightforward to modify the length of the needles, the number of needles/array, the spacing of the needles, and the geometry of the needles," Dr. Lisa Dick says. "Such modifications may be needed to deliver higher doses of a product or to deliver to different parts of the skin."
For more information, please visit www.3m.com/mts or see this press release.
For perspectives on medical device development, plan to attend the conference at Advanced Design & Manufacturing Cleveland March 29-30. You'll learn about the journey from product conceptualization to market entry as well as the emerging technologies that are changing the future of the healthcare landscape.

Thank you for sharing this Wonderful information. In this post give good information that helpful for people.It's wonderful information.


Icy ocean worlds with ice-covered seas covering more than 85% of the planet's surface. These are Pelagic worlds with their crusts frozen over due to a variety of reasons, most often a lack of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
Tidal or subsurface geological stresses often create cracks in the global ice coverage, allowing a thin atmosphere of oxygen and nitrogen to form. Were it not for constant replenishment from these rifts, the atmosphere would desiccate within a few million years. However carbon dioxide may build up in the atmosphere over time, emitted from suboceanic volcanoes, allowing the oceans to melt temporarily or permanently.
PelaGeligian worlds can often be successfully terraformed by artificial heating, either by increasing the amount of incident sunlight, or by increasing the greenhouse gas content off the atmosphere.
A related suntype is the TundralPelagic subtype, where the ice cover is less than 50%.
Before this world was heated artificially during the terraforming process, Lamorna was a PelaGelidian world.

Secure Remote Desktop Access to Isolated Networks
TAGS: CTTSO Computer Science/Information Technology Engineering/Design Ideation
STATUS: Awarded
A general principle of data protection in secure environments is the creation of isolated networks. These networks implement a security constraint that protects the information in the network from leaking to unwanted or unapproved destinations. This isolation, however, does not allow the flow of information to travel between the isolated networks and surrounding networks and limits productivity and the usefulness of the information. CTTSO, the Seeker for this Challenge, is soliciting ideas on how to create a comprehensive work experience on one computer that will provide a remote desktop like viewing experience across multiple isolated networks without allowing the protected data or information to bleed over to the user's native network. Solutions must allow for complete visibility into the protocols and code that comprise the underlying solution.
This is an Ideation Challenge with a guaranteed award for at least one submitted solution.
The use of isolated networks is a general principle of data protection in secure environments. Security constraints on these networks prevent the flow of information between the network and surrounding networks and prevents the protected information from leaking to unwanted or unauthorized destinations. The main advantage of isolating a network is the layer of protection it provides against online attacks. Unfortunately, the same measures that protect an isolated network make it difficult to use the information on the network by forcing users to use solutions such as multiple computers in conjunction with KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) switches when working with other networks.
CTTSO, the Seeker for this Challenge, is soliciting ideas on how to create a comprehensive work experience on one computer that will provide a remote desktop like viewing experience across multiple isolated networks without allowing the protected data or information to bleed over to the user's native network. Solutions must allow for complete visibility into the protocols and code that comprise the underlying solution. Several commercial solutions are known but these use proprietary protocols that are closed source and therefore there is no way to verify the information being transferred between the two environments.
This is an Ideation Challenge, which has the following unique features:
There is a guaranteed award. The award(s) will be paid to the best submission(s) as solely determined by the Seeker. The total payout will be $25,000, with at least one award being no smaller than $5,000 and no award being smaller than $1,000.
The Solvers are not required to transfer exclusive intellectual property rights to the Seeker. Rather, by submitting a proposal, the Solver grants to the Seeker a royalty-free, perpetual, and non-exclusive license to use any information included in this proposal, including for promotional purposes.
Submissions to this Challenge must be received by 11:59 PM (US Eastern Time) on October 15, 2017.
Late submissions will not be considered.
After the Challenge deadline, the Seeker will complete the review process and make a decision with regards to the Winning Solution(s). All Solvers that submit a proposal will be notified on the status of their submissions; however, no detailed evaluation of individual submissions will be provided.
The Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO) provides a forum for interagency and international users to discuss mission requirements to combat terrorism, prioritizes those requirements, funds and manages solutions, and delivers capabilities. The CTTSO accomplishes these objectives through rapid prototyping of novel solutions developed and field-tested before the traditional acquisition systems are fully engaged. This low-risk approach encourages interdepartmental and interagency collaboration, thereby reducing duplication, eliminating capability gaps, and stretching development dollars.
What is an InnoCentive Ideation™ Challenge?
An InnoCentive Ideation™ Challenge is a broad question formulated to obtain access to new ideas, similar to a global brainstorm for producing a breakthrough idea or market survey which may include ideas for a new product line, a new commercial application for a current product, or even a viral marketing idea to recruit new customers. Ideation™ Challenge submissions are typically about two written pages, and Seekers receive a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use all submissions.
In an Ideation™ Challenge, Solvers may:
Submit ideas of their own
Submit third party information that they have the right to use and further the authority to convey that right and the right to use and develop derivative works to Seekers
Submit information considered in the public domain without any limitations on use
Solvers should not reveal any confidential information in their submissions. Often the Ideation™ Challenge will be followed by one or more of the other three Challenge types to further develop the ideas and gain Intellectual Property protection when the concept has been well-defined.

Get GMC Acadia lease quotes from dealers in your area.
Payment Breakdown: GMC is offering a lease of a Acadia SLE-1 to customers who qualify. Not all lessees will qualify. Higher lease rates apply for lessees with lower credit ratings. Dealer contribution may vary and could affect actual lease payment. For only $299 per month you can drive off in this roomy 8 passenger crossover. The lease term is 39 months. Over that span you will pay $11,661 in lease payments and an additional $2,410 due at lease signing. The total cost of of the lease is $14,071 (tax, license, title, fees, registration and documentation are additional).
Mileage: With this GMC Acadia SLE-1 lease you are granted a total of 39,000 miles. Mileage driven over the allotted amount will cost you an additional $0.25 per mile. So if you drove 1000 miles over the 39,000 allotted you would be responsible for an additional $250 at the end of the lease.
End of Lease: Once your lease is up GMC is offering the option to purchase the Acadia SLE-1 at a predetermined price set by the dealer. If you do not wish to purchase the Acadia simply return the vehicle to the dealer. Excess wear and tear and mileage over the allotted amount will be billed extra.
GMC offers several years a Denali version of some of their large SUVs. For the Acadia, it's a first. But the extra money required, is it worth the trouble? That's why a lease is right. GM offers three separate vehicles with the same format. In terms of luxury and comfort, they offer some differences to rank them in order. First, we find the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and then comes and finally, the Buick Enclave that wants the ultimate in terms of prestige with a neater finish. By cons, regardless of the vehicle and the version chosen, it is always this big SUV which offers remarkable versatility, which can accommodate between 7 and 8 passengers.
The powertrain is exactly the same for all vehicles, a 3.6-liter V6 producing 288 hp and now 270 lb-ft, all connected to a six-speed automatic transmission. AWD is the options menu. So if these vehicles are similar, how can I find a difference between a $ 25 000 standard and the latest version available at GMC Denali? Denali! What is that? GMC offers many years a Denali version of some of their large SUVs. For the Acadia is a first. Denali vehicles generally offer unique visual touches and a greater level of luxury and superior equipment. With the Acadia, we see the differences quite easily with the 20-inch wheels, dual rear exhaust, the unique front grilles, roof-opening double, three-zone air conditioning, display "heads-up" in the windshield, heated front seats and chilled, and more.
I can not rationalize the purchase of this vehicle. The Denali test showed a price of $ 63 000, slightly more than $ 25 000 higher than the basic version of the Acadia offers however the same main mechanical components. For this price you can afford much more distinctive European vehicles. Even at GM, you can do better with the Buick Enclave. So please, do not waste your time with this version Denali.
Horsepower (hp @ rpm / min) 288 hp.
Acceleration 0-100 km / h 8.1 sec.

"Like many relationships, 'Breaking Upwards' starts in bed and ends on the street. The journey in between, however, feels as new as anything a tiny budget and a boatload of talent could produce." THE NEW YORK TIMES.
complex and thoughtful new light. An uncensored look at young love, lust, and the pangs of codependency, Breaking Upwards follows its characters as they navigate each others' emotions across the city they love. It begs the question: is it ever possible to grow apart together?

Eric Offenstadt's Monocoque Triple
10th April 2019 Sam Hewitt Features
Words: Alan Cathcart Photographs: Kyoichi Nakamura
Rider-engineers are a rare breed – especially those who are equally expert at thinking freshly, designing and competing on their creations at the highest level.
What we have here is an exquisite example of the multi-handed art.

Britain's Peter Williams is rightly thought of as the paragon of such talented virtuosos, and by personally conceiving the John Player Norton Monocoque, which he then rode to victory in the 1973 Isle of Man TT, he's made sure of his place in the record books for all time.
But there's another much less well-known figure – at least outside his native France – who in this, his 80th birthday year, deserves comparable admiration – especially since he was racing his own self-conceived monocoque-framed bike to 500GP rostrums two years before the first Williams-designed Norton Monocoque ever turned a wheel. That man is Eric Offenstadt, universally known as Pépé, and he actually turned out to be even more multi-talented than Williams.
Beautiful. The French-flag colours were more than a passing nod to the national pride put into the project by the brains that made the triple.
That's because his admittedly less successful motorcycle race career than PJW's bracketed a spell as a top level open-wheel F2/F3 car driver racing for such illustrious teams as Matra and Team Lotus, in which he defeated the likes of future world champions Jackie Stewart and Jim Clark, before returning to motorcycle racing to pick up where he'd left off eight years earlier.
His decision to return to two-wheeled competition came about thanks to a chance meeting with an old friend at the Stand 14 café in Paris, opposite the butcher's shop run by Jean-Pierre Beltoise's dad, which was where all Parisian two-wheeled road racers hung out.
During the eight years Eric was away racing cars, his chum Xavier Maugendre's SIDEMM company, founded in 1968, had become highly successful French Kawasaki importers.
