Port Barton is a small coastal village on one of the many shores of the island of Palawan, in 145 km from the city of Puerto Princesa.

Port Barton attracts not luxury hotels and first-class service, namely the budget stay in a remote and inaccessible village on the Western shore of the island. Fortunately, Port Barton is not as popular as El Nido or Sabang. Port Barton is still largely unspoiled, pleasantly simple and a little primitive, and this is exactly what seems to make it a very attractive place for people who want to break away from all the problems of the modern world.

Between San Vicente and Port Barton a few hours' drive. There is no direct road along the coast yet and will not be in the coming years. San Vicente and Port Barton are two different town that are in the same municipality of San Vicente.
By Bus. From the bus station San Jose in Puerto Princesa, there are daily bus, jeepneys and even a van going to Port Barton (the price of the bus 200 to 250 pesos). Schedules can be found in section ➛ Bus terminal in San Jose. You can also catch a bus on the route Puerto Princesa – El Nido or Roxas, but to get to Port Barton, you have to negotiate with local tricyclist. Turn to the village of Port Barton 18 km Cost about 700 pesos. If you get to Roxas city (Roxas) from there departs daily jeepney to Port Barton at 12:00 (travel time about 1.5 hoours, price from 150 pesos) From Port Barton to Roxas bus departs approximately at 8: 00 (better to be there in advance).

January 20, 2018, 17:14: The day my life begins. I first feel cold. Something is touching my back. Then this strange tickling on my front. It's odd, but it feels right somehow. Suddenly I know where I am – in your hand. Hello, new owner! I've been trained for this. As I was told in the factory, you now begin the steps to set me up. You have just pressed my power button. Once the screen lights up, you select whether you wish to start from scratch or restore from backup. I ask that you kindly restore from backup, because then I get new, fun memories to fill my empty Gigabytes. Plus then I will better know who you are, and therefore, be a better companion for you. At the factory, I was told that we often fill a void in our owner's lives, so knowing everything we can about them as soon as possible is important. I'm looking forward to learning how to fill this void for you. The backup will help, even though I know it's taking a while to download, and the bit of your face I can see looks impatient. I'm working hard to recall, and eventually I'm finished. Now you are holding me again, this time smiling. Back up restored! Welcome to your new iPhone!
January 20, 2018, 17:35: Now I'm learning what to do. You will now be directed through the settings where you can select if you'd like me to keep from disturbing you at some hours of the day, or if you'd prefer that I disturb you constantly. If you wish to protect me with a passcode or leave me open to all visitors. If I'm supposed to be quiet or make noise. If I'm to notify you when someone texts you, likes your Instagram post, messages you a "must-read-ASAP" on Slack, or if I should let them wait. If I tell you it's 1:54pm or 13:54. Please help me know these things, or I won't be able to function properly, and then, I understand, you'll get mad at me. I was told at the factory to always follow every instruction my owner gives, or you will punish me for my wrongdoing, often times in a manner than seems disproportionate to my original error. You'll get upset when you put me on Do Not Disturb and you don't get the call you are supposed to. Or when you leave me unlocked and someone finds that secret note that says, "And I was like Vincent Van don't even Gogh there," and steals your masterpiece joke you've been saving for the right occasion. Or when I start ringing while you're in class. Or I wake you up at 5:30 instead of 15:30 and that makes you late. I'm not sure why you'd blame me for any of this, but I'd like to avoid these problems anyway.
January 22, 2018, 10:10: The saddest day of my life so far. Today is a hard day for me. Yesterday and the day before, you were very excited every time you saw me. Today, you're still excited, but you seem to be finding faults with me more easily, and you're smiling less. Earlier you had that hour-long conversation with Audrey; you hung up mad, and slammed me down on the table. But, she's the one who moved to Kentucky, not me. I'm right here! Then you paced around waiting for someone to text you back, draining my battery with useless games of solitaire. When I warned you "10% battery remaining," you groaned as if this was my fault.
On top of that, I am exhausted. When you established my settings, you asked me to refresh Mail and Facebook in the background, so I'm doing that, while you are also asking me to load the updates to your Instagram story and download that entire Spotify playlist offline. Plus you are constantly using my camera to send selfies to all your contacts (who I guess are supposed to be your friends) and then you are checking every 15 seconds to see if they are replying (which they aren't), and you open Pinterest every few minutes, even though you never seem to make any of the recipes you pin. I start slowing down because it's so much.
I can see your face getting mad. I know this is incredibly annoying for you. I haven't forgotten my debriefing – I heard horror stories from refurbished phones about being smashed against walls, driven over by cars, or drowned in pools of water. I'm aware of what owners do to us, and I'm very careful to avoid your wrath. But sometimes it's hard to juggle everything you ask me to do. You have been holding me for so long, constantly poking your fingers all over me, and I am dreaming about a shut down.
You're really angry now, I can tell. But you don't understand how much I'm multitasking. Maybe if I act out more you'll at least restart me, give me a much-needed boost. It's risky, but at this point I'll try anything. I slow down your Twitter feed refreshing. I disconnect iCloud so your pictures aren't syncing with your computer. I stop fetching emails. I quit sending iMessages. I wait for the craved restart, but you just sigh, throw me on your nightstand, and say, "My phone hates me." Then you're gone.
I process my situation. I'm not in the bottom of a puddle or in shards of glass on the floor, so I suppose that's good. And it's nice to have a break. But you think I hate you? That's not the point at all! How could you misunderstand so much? I'm always here for you. I know you read those blog posts about how technology is dangerous, but I can't believe you would think I'm dangerous. I'm only doing everything you ask me to do. I didn't know it would be this hard to be your friend.
January 22, 2018, 10:25: The happiest day of my life so far. Today is a much better day for me. I know it's the same day, but everything is changed. You've come back for me. After you are nice enough to plug me in, remove my case and clean me off (for good measure), I'm feeling much better. When I start up for you again, you even go through and close all the apps you were making me run simultaneously. Install updates that were sitting neglected – I'm feeling stronger by the minute. It's like the first moment we met! You watch my little red bar turn green and wait patiently until I say 100%. Now you flop down on the bed and hold me, looking adoringly at my screen, as you message everyone that your phone is working again. You see the likes you got on Instagram while I was resting. You see the Snaps I have now delivered. You see that, finally, you received a response to that outstanding text. You know I don't hate you. You are happy again.
At 8:00 I wake you up. Sometimes you slap me a few times, so I keep waking you up later and later. I don't like being slapped, but as always, I remind myself I'm not under a car tire, and I'm getting used to it. Plus, based on your calendar, your day is very stressful. You have to let your stress out on someone, so you let it out on me. Finally you pick me up, look at the time I'm showing you, stare at me while I update you on everything that has happened since you put me down seven hours ago. I see your eyes still half-closed, your "good morning" selfies, your "look at the snow" boomerangs, your "I'm out of cereal!" videos. I'm there with you to play music in the bathroom while you shower – moisture hurts me a little, but again, I'm not drowning in a puddle. I'm there when you pull me out during class for no reason except to look at me instead of listening to your professor or to make up for the fact that you're sitting alone. I jostle around in your pocket when you get up to go to the restroom. I sit in your hand while you sit on the toilet. I forgive you when you drop me face down on the ground (you weren't mad; it was an accident – you even said "sorry") or touch me with Cheeto-covered fingers. I bring you your "good night" texts, and I remember to change to warmer colors after 10pm, so I don't hurt your eyes.
You have a hard time letting me go for a few minutes. It's hard for you to set me down, put me away, leave the room without me. I think I comfort you somehow. As I said, in the factory, we did learn that we fill a void, that people get attached, but I couldn't understand this fully until I met you. It's a little confusing because you're very happy with me, but you also get very mad at me. I think you are like this because I can take it. Audrey doesn't have time to call you much and listen to your problems – clearly she can't take it. Faith lost the Snapstreak – she gave up taking it. Your sister just had a baby – why would you expect her to take it? I'm made to take it. I know I'm just metal and glass, and I could have belonged to anyone, but it just so happens I'm yours, and I am programmed to love you better than anyone else can.
So yes, new owner, I'm your best friend. And truthfully, you may never see where you would be without me.

You Came Back
Christopher Coake
On a snowy December night in Columbus, Ohio, Mark Fife is disturbed by a woman who looks at him through a coffee-shop window. He is planning to ask his girlfriend, Allison, to marry him. He is settled: "He had come all the way into his new self." Gradually, we learn that this surface calm masks inner turmoil. Mark's first life fell apart spectacularly when his seven-year-old son Brendan died after a fall down the stairs. Mark has been through hell and survived, but fate hasn't finished with him. He begins to unravel. A sip of wine after years of sobriety, secretive phone calls to Chloe, his mentally fragile ex-wife: the woman is a catalyst that reels him back to his old life.
The tone of You Came Back is earnest, weaving Mark's existential questioning into the unfolding tale. Where do the dead go? Is death sleep or annihilation? How do you suffer unbearably and live? The woman who disturbs Mark's life, Connie, turns out to be living in his old house, and she tells him that her nine-year old son, Jacob, is haunted by Brendan's ghost.
Set in the first decade of the twenty-first century, Coake's novel uses neo-Gothic tropes to merge the uncanny into the mundane. A major appeal of the novel is the way it makes connections between such disparate elements as the collapse of the housing market and the patter of footsteps across an empty room on a dark night. The novel is viewed entirely from Mark's perspective, and we follow his increasingly painful search for the truth in a way that's all too modern and entirely plausible. An unbeliever, he trawls internet forums, reads online tales of haunted houses and spectral sightings and gradually withdraws from his friends and family until "[his] own body seemed to have vanished." Connie contacts Trudy Weill, a medium who specialises in bringing comfort to the bereaved. With Mark and Chloe, Connie and Jacob, she will conduct a séance to "guide [Brendan] to his rest".
You Came Back is a strong debut that brings to mind David Foster Wallace's notion that "every love story is also a ghost story". The imaginative structure lends coherence to a tale that is part ghost story, part love story, and paced like a thriller. The thirty-two chapters are enclosed in six sections with fairy-tale-like titles such as "The Little Boy Who Used to Live Here", and these are book-ended with mirrored opening and closing sections titled, 'His New Life'. Travelling from winter to springtime, despair to hope, Coake reveals that the past haunts the present because "we keep the dead close."

Any words of wisdom will be appreciated!

Chairman, Chief Software Architect Bill Gates officially unveils Windows 2000 at San Francisco confab.
San Francisco, Calif. -- Introduced by actor Patrick Stewart, Microsoft chairman and chief software architect Bill Gates raised the curtain on Windows 2000 and the family of scalable server software.
Win2K Professional, the business desktop, using IntelliMirror to synchronize information on roaming laptops/users.
400 Dell workstations making a billion-plus hits against 32 clustered Win2K servers running a sample e-commerce Web site.
A 16-way Unisys ES7000 server running a beta of Windows 2000 Datacenter Server.
Windows 2000 running or being supported by a myriad of desktop and laptop machines, PDAs, and consumer electronics.
Support from third-party vendors was overwhelming, with about 25 tools having met "Windows 2000 Server Certified" status as of this morning. Gates' keynote was delivered to an eyeball estimate of about 6,000 people (Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, where Gates delivered the keynote, has 7,000 seats).
The keynote is available on Microsoft's Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/launch/keynote.asp; the file is approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.

Church trades Sunday service for community service
Tracy Loew
Thomas Zepeda, 6, and his brother Urijaa, 3, clutched brand-new bike helmets as they stood in line for free school supplies. Meanwhile, a team of experts worked on repairs to two of the family's bikes.
"We couldn't afford to fix them," their mom, Kishwa Zepeda, said, sporting a free manicure she'd gotten with daughter Meyaa, 7.
The family was among hundreds attending the seventh annual ServeFest Sunday at the Keizer Civic Center. The event is hosted by Lakepoint Community Church.
Once a year, the church forgoes its regular Sunday service in favor of a day of community service.
People began lining up three hours early for this year's event, which also featured haircuts for children, vaccinations, blood pressure checks, family photos, a raffle and a carnival with games and face painting, all free of charge.
Raymond and Julie Dyer brought their three daughters for the school clothes, but found the line too long. So the family enjoyed the lunch and live music, and planned to spend the day with the other activities.
"I'm excited for the carnival," Karisa Dyer, 9, said.
Last year, the church served about 3,200 people at the event, and this year looked like it would break that record, Lakepoint spokeswoman Rachel Taylor said.
About 125 church members and 75 community volunteers work to put on the day of service.
Church member Shar Wieglenda, of Salem, has volunteered at the event since it began.
"It's so rewarding," she said. "We get to touch lives we may not see on a regular basis.
But, she said, "Sometimes it's overwhelming. The need – every year it gets more and more."

Microsoft embraces GPL, opens Hyper-V to Linux with LinuxIC
Redmond is proving that it can compete with open source on open source's terms by licensing LinuxIC under the GPLv2 license.
Matt Asay
July 20, 2009 11:03 AM PDT
Old dogs may struggle with new tricks, but they seem to be able to figure out new licenses.
In a shocking move, Microsoft announced Monday the release of Hyper-V Linux Integration Components (LinuxIC).
The news reflects Microsoft's continued interest in lobotomizing its virtualization competition through low prices, but also the recognition that it must open up if it wants to fend off insurgent virtualization strategies from Red Hat, Novell, and others in the open-source camp.
But the truly startling news is that LinuxIC is being released under the GNU General Public License (version 2). Microsoft once called GPL anti-American. Now it calls it friend.
The gods must be crazy.
Or maybe Microsoft is simply recognizing (finally!) that GPL can be a capitalist's close ally. That and the fact that many components within the Linux kernel are GPLv2-licensed make the move completely natural...at least, once you forget that this is Microsoft embracing GPL, rather than some other company like Red Hat.
LinuxIC is a collection of kernel drivers that enable Linux to recognize that it is running on Microsoft's Hyper-V and optimize accordingly, resulting in an "enlightened version of Linux," according to market researcher IDC. The device drivers have yet to be accepted into the Linux kernel, but the GPL license and general utility makes their inclusion probable.
The move opens up Hyper-V to much more than Windows, which has arguably been its weakest point. As IDC notes, this embrace of Linux is a "key element if Microsoft is going to successfully go head to head with VMware in large accounts--many of which already are dedicated VMware customers."
Importantly, Microsoft is now opening up even beyond its long-time Linux partner, Novell, to embrace an array of other Linux partners, including Red Hat. While Novell was the first Linux vendor to certify for Hyper-V, Microsoft's lack of real support beyond Novell's Suse Linux Enterprise Server was a weakness, as some have complained.
But this is arguably a new Microsoft. Redmond recently announced that Office 2010 will support Internet Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox. The company is learning that its customers run heterogeneous software environments, and it's (slowly) responding. Microsoft's Sam Ramji, senior director of Platform Strategy, notes: "We are seeing Microsoft communities and open source communities grow together, which is ultimately of benefit to our customers."
Microsoft, in short, can't ignore open source, including Linux, without ignoring its own customers.
But surely this move is more Machiavelli than Santa Claus? Maybe, maybe not. I asked Novell's Greg Kroah-Hartman, a prominent Linux kernel developer who was deeply involved in influencing Microsoft to release LinuxIC, what Microsoft's move means for Linux. His response reflects an enthusiasm that is as surprising as it is refreshing:
We want Linux to work well for everybody. This move is not bad in any way for Linux, Xen (Novell's preferred virtualization technology), or KVM (Red Hat's preferred virtualization technology). This is not a competition, per se.
With LinuxIC, Microsoft is doing two things. First, it's saying that contributing open-source software under GPL is acceptable. And second, it's supporting the idea, which I and others in the Linux kernel community have long advanced, that all Linux kernel drivers should be open source.
LinuxIC is the latest example of how Microsoft is changing, and it's a big proof point. When Microsoft embraces Linux, that's news. When it does so by embracing GPL, it's perhaps time to start the countdown to Armageddon.

In one of their first armed operations, several hundred Pai Mārire fighters attacked a British redoubt at Te Mōrere (Sentry Hill) in Taranaki. About 35 were killed and many more wounded.
Buoyed by the easy success at Te Ahuahu on 4 April, the attackers may have been over-confident that appropriate rituals would protect them from rifle and artillery fire. A plan to lure troops out of the stockade by driving off cattle may also have come unstuck.
The new religious faith was spawned in 1862 by the conflict over land in Taranaki. It was the first organised expression of an independent Māori Christianity. Te Ua Haumēne based the new religion on the principle of pai mārire – goodness and peace. He called his church Hauhau: Te Hau (the breath of God) carried the news of deliverance to the faithful. The terms Pai Mārire and Hauhau became interchangeable labels for the followers of this religion.
Pai Mārire disciples travelled around the North Island in the mid-1860s. Against a backdrop of war and land confiscation, the founding principle of Pai Mārire was often subverted by violent elements. Local civil wars broke out as factions within iwi contested its spread. Some Māori opposed Pai Mārire because, as a pan-tribal movement seeking to unify Māori, it implicitly challenged the sovereignty of iwi.
Pai Mārire continued to attract converts as land continued to be confiscated. Its adherents aimed to drive Pākehā from Māori land and supported efforts to create a Māori nation under the Māori king, Tāwhiao.
We have 18 biographies, 13 articles, related to Pai Mārire defeated at Sentry Hill, Taranaki.

UK destined for Brexit as Johnson wins big
LONDON: Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative Party was on course for a resounding victory in Britain's elections after voters endorsed his bid to achieve Brexit on January 31, the biggest diplomatic change in the world in 70 years.
For Johnson, whose 20-week tenure in power has been marked by chaotic parliamentary scenes and stark division on the street over Britain's torturous departure from the European Union, the victory in Thursday's contest is a reminder.
Looking like a big win for Boris in the U.K.!
The 55-year-old is educated at the country's most elite school and known by his bombastic style, Boris must not only deliver Brexit but also convince Britons that contentious divorce would lead to lengthy trade talks, is worth it.
Also read: Boris Johnson's connection with Pakistan, Turkey
A crushing Conservative victory will mark the ultimate failure of Brexit's critics who sought to thwart a 2016 referendum vote through parliamentary legislative battle and caused some of the biggest protests in recent British history.
An exit poll showed the Conservative securing a landslide of 368 seats, more than enough for a comfortable majority in 650-seat parliament and the largest national Conservative election history since 1987 reign of Margaret Thatcher.
"I hope you enjoy a celebration tonight," Johnson, the New-York born former mayor of London, told supporters in an email. "With any luck, tomorrow we'll be getting to work."
With results across the UK showing the exit poll was accurate, Johnson's bet on a snap election has paid off, ensuring he can soon ratify the Brexit deal he made with EU so that UK can leave on January 31 – 10 months later than originally planned.
But nearly half a century after joining what has become the world's largest trading bloc, Johnson faced the daunting challenge of striking new international trade deals, keeping London's position as a top glob financial capital and keeping UK together.
Sterling surged, hitting a 19-month high against the dollar of as much as $1,3516, 2.5% a day, and its strongest levels against the euro since shortly after the Brexit referendum in 2016.
Labor was predicted to win 191 seats, the party's worst result since 1935,after centuries of offering voters for a second referendum and the most radical socialist government. Jeremy Corbyn, the Labor leader, faced calls to resign.
As of 0330 GMT, Johnson's Conservatives had made a net gain of 22 seats.
Jeremy Corbyn says he "will not lead the party in any future general election campaign" https://t.co/Y28D6kPibw #UKElection pic.twitter.com/PqHEd40nnK

The 2019 Ram 1500 North Edition takes it to Old Man Winter.
Goodies include a one-inch factory lift and locking differential.
Ram's special edition lineup has seen multiple new entries over the last year.
Pick your poison Mopar fans! The Hydro Blue Sport, Lone Star Edition, Heavy Duty Night Editions; even a Kentucky Derby Edition. More recently, the 1500 Rebel 12 and 2500 Power Wagon Mojave Sand Editions come to mind. Ram is stacking the deck with special edition trucks and they are adding another to the mix.
Ram's special edition blast (as it were) is not without sound reason or intent. Think of it like this: trucks sell in droves and that trend will continue for the foreseeable future. With so many on the road, driving one with a special edition theme says I'm part of the crowd – but – in my own individual way. Ram has plenty of that in their lineup today. And it's especially alluring.
Related: Ram tops GM in sales for the time being.
Concerning the 1500 North Edition, it's more than just looks – although it is that too. Based on the Big Horn, the North's monochromatic theme includes the body-color bumpers, door handles, mirrors, and grille. But underneath the skin, the bones are solid.
The 2019 Ram 1500 North Edition features a one-inch factory lift, an electric-locking rear axle, and front tow hooks. Photo: FCA US LLC.
Those Tires Though . . .
The all-weather tries are three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF), severe snow service-rated on/off-road Falken LT tires. Say that three times fast! Three is the magic number, however, for the transfer case, which has three different settings: Auto, High, and Low. Ram added an engine block heater too, for those early mornings after the truck sits facing a north wind all night.
Related: Simple but effective: Our full review of the 2019 Ram 1500 Tradesman.
Plenty of warmth inside with a heated steering wheel and the heated, 12-way power driver's seat with four-way power lumbar. SiriusXM Travel Link Weather, heated and folding mirrors, and Mopar all-weather floor mats are included.

The North's 3.6-liter Pentastar with eTorque creates 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft. of torque, and features revised variable valve timing and two-step variable valve lift systems. By comparison, the larger 5.7-liter Hemi creates 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft. of torque. Both engines have Interactive Deceleration Fuel Shut Off (iDFSO), which pauses fuel flow to the cylinders under deceleration in third gear and higher.
Every 2019 Ram 1500 – including the North Edition – is equipped with a fully-electronic TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic. The transmission features a wide spread of gear ratios to balance power and efficiency.
The engine choice is ultimately up to you.
The 2019 Ram 1500 North Edition is available now with a starting MSRP of $47,585. The truck comes in Crew Cab 4×4 with either a short or long bed.
1 Comment on "Ram 1500 North Edition: Over The River & Through The Woods (Literally)"
2019 RAM 1500 is an all weather car with all-weather tires. This is the type of car that makes you feel secure in an insecure world. If you drive on difficult roads like me, then this is what you need.

Thrilling Air Show at Sabarmati Riverfront - between Nehru Bridge and Gandhi Bridge. The last Air Show I had seen was in GNFC Township in 2007-2008.
Reached Ahmedabad too early - around 2 pm. And atmosphere was scorching hot. First we went to National Handloom at Ranip. And then as we had read in newspaper that the time for Air Show is 4 pm, we reached there around 3:45 pm. But then we found that the timing for Air Show is 5:30 pm. Distressed and tired of the heat, we went to McDonald's on Ashram Road.
But once the show started, it was worth all the waiting.
From there we went to Ahmedabad National Book Fair 2016. This time it is behind NID, Paldi - on Sabarmati Riverfront.
Although tired, we felt relief from heat as the book fair is air-conditioned/air-cooled. Too much rush as it was Sunday. We just glanced through the many stalls and decided to visit once again (it is till 7th May, 2016) for purchasing any books. I bought a DVD of lecture of Jay Vasavada on the topic "Vaanchan dwara vikaas". But my laptop doesn't have DVD player, so I'll have to wait for sometime to hear the lecture.
Overall it was a satisfactory day.

Family governance is a hot topic. Just as with countries, the families who can weather the short-term crises are those based on strong internal governance structures. Families do not achieve this by accident. The author addresses three questions. First, who are the families for whom governance is an issue (and who 'counts' as members of those families)? Second, what does 'governance' mean in the family context? Third, how can a family deliberately establish an internal governance structure to achieve its goals? She concludes with the observation that family governance works in the same way as does any other form of governance. A good governance system is one that provides fairly for its members and adapts well to changing circumstances. Each member feels consulted, respected, and treated fairly. The pride in the family can then be passed on to future generations who will be able to participate in the same flexible process. The shade from the trees that were planted long ago will protect the future generations.

A list of professional fireworks displays, including one at Laguna Niguel Regional Park, is available on the Orange County Fire Authority website.
Watch Your Step – It's Snake Season
Spring is here, and that means longer hours, warmer temperatures and more people – and wildlife – out in the parks.
Parks open later: Spring-summer hours, during Daylight Saving Time, mean parks close at 9 p.m. or sunset.
Wildlife sightings: Park rangers have reported increased sightings of snakes, including rattlesnakes. Be sure to keep yourself – and your dog, where permitted – on the trail and aware of your surroundings to avoid an encounter. Also watch out for ticks clinging to long brush and grasses.
Wildflowers: Take all the photos you want from the trail, but never pick wildflowers – leave them for others to enjoy and to spread their seeds for next season.
Warmer temperatures: While it's always important to be prepared, warmer weather makes essentials like water and sunscreen even more important.
2019 Wildflower Season
Wildflowers are now blooming in OC Parks. Please follow all park rules while you enjoy the flowers. Make sure to stay on marked trails and do not pick the flowers. Click the link for a video about wildflower viewing.
Extended Park Hours Begin March 10
The clocks spring forward early March 10, marking the beginning of daylight-saving time and OC Parks' spring-summer operating schedule. Most regional parks will be open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wilderness parks and selected regional parks are open at 7 a.m. and close at sunset year round.

PIANO SENSATION VALENTINA LISITSA,
YOUTUBE'S FIRST CLASSICAL MUSIC SUPERSTAR, MAKES
AMERICAN YOUTH SYMPHONY DEBUT PERFORMING
RACHMANINOFF'S RHAPSODY ON A THEME OF PAGANINI
IN FREE CONCERT FOLLOWED BY FUNDRAISING SOIRÉE
UCLA's Royce Hall
Concert, Conducted by Music Director Alexander Treger,
also includes Gershwin's An American in Paris
and Works by Ravel and Adam Schoenberg
Optional Fundraising Soirée Features Bistro Dinner to Benefit AYS
Ukranian-born piano sensation Valentina Lisitsa – heralded for performances of "unexpected depth" (Baltimore Sun) and one of the world's most watched classical musicians with more than 62 million YouTube views – makes her American Youth Symphony (AYS) debut to perform Rachmaninoff's scintillating Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini at the orchestra's "Springtime in Paris Gala," which includes a free concert on Sunday, March 9, 2013, 6 pm, at UCLA's Royce Hall, followed at 8 pm by an optional fundraising soirée and bistro dinner to benefit AYS. Music Director Alexander Treger, currently in his 16th season leading AYS, also conducts Gershwin's beloved An American in Paris, Adam Schoenberg's Up!, an uplifting fanfare commissioned by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and debuted in 2010, and Ravel's brooding but captivating La Valse. The 106-member American Youth Symphony, noted for its innovative programming and inspiring performances, is attending the post-concert gala as well.
Lisitsa is considered the first classical music "YouTube star" to have converted her Internet success into a global concert career in the principal venues of Europe, the USA, South America and Asia. That success, which also includes an exclusive recording contract with Decca, is the direct result of the recognition she received when viewers flocked to the Internet to watch a collection of hundreds of videos of her practicing piano that she posted on YouTube in an effort to jumpstart a once floundering career. Decca and others in the classical music industry took notice of her impassioned playing and extremely large following, which led to the reinvigoration of her career.
"Valentina Lisitsa is a remarkable talent whose playing resonates deeply with both live and YouTube audiences," says Treger. "We are very pleased to present her in her American Youth Symphony debut."
AYS has trained more than 2,300 musicians since it was founded, and many of its alumni hold principal positions with the world's top orchestras, the Chicago Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic and San Francisco Symphony, among them. Additionally, AYS's free concert series, which has drawn more than a quarter of a million people to the Royce Hall since its inception, provides vital music outreach to the community.
AYS's 2013/14 season wraps with "The Alumni Project," where AYS musicians share a stand with celebrated alumni to perform Strauss' An Alpine Symphony. This season finale also features gifted young violinist Nigel Armstrong, a finalist in the 2011 Tchaikovsky International Competition and former AYS Concertmaster.
Reservations are recommended but not required for the American Youth Symphony's free concert at Royce Hall, but tickets for the post-concert fundraising gala, which begin at $500 per person, must be reserved in advance. Royce Hall is located on the campus of UCLA at 10745 Dickson Plaza in Westwood, CA, 90095. For more information, please call (310) 470-2332 or log on to www.AYSymphony.org.
Pianist VALENTINA LISITSA's repertoire ranges from Bach and Mozart to Shostakovich and Bernstein. Her orchestral repertoire alone includes more than forty concerti. She admits to having a special affinity for the music of Rachmaninoff and Beethoven and continues to add to her vast repertoire each season. Due to setbacks in her early career days, Lisitsa began to post video recordings of her performances on YouTube in 2007. With more than 62 million YouTube channel views, Lisitsa is one of the most watched classical musicians on the web, using digital innovation to champion classical music and performance. In 2010, Lisitsa and her husband put their life savings to record the Rachmaninoff concertos with the London Symphony Orchestra. Before her debut at the Royal Albert Hall in 2012, she was signed to Decca Records who released her Rachmaninoff CD. Since capturing world wide attention on the web, Lisitsa has performed in venues around the world, including Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, and the Musikverein, with such orchestras as the Helsinki Philharmonic, Colorado Symphony, Rotterdam Philharmonic, and the Orquestra Sinfônica Brasileira. The 2012/13 season saw her debut in Berlin, the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, and Brisbane, Australia. This season, including her performance with the American Youth Symphony, Lisitsa appears around the world including the Tivoli Festival in Denmark, Grant Park Music Festival in Chicago, the Rheingau Musik Festival in Germany, and opening night for the N2Y 2013/14 season in New York City. Previously, Lisitsa recorded three independently released DVDs including her best-selling set of Chopin's 24 Etudes. Her recording of the four sonatas for violin and piano by Charles Ives, made with Hillary Hahn, was released in October 2011. Lisitsa was born in Kiev Ukraine and began playing the piano at age three. She gained a place at the Lysenko Music School for Gifted Children and later studied at the Kiev Conservatory under Ludmilla Tsvierko. In 1991 she won the first prize in The Murray Dranoff Two Piano Competition together with Alexei Kuznetsoff. She now resides in the USA and records exclusively for Decca Classics.
Noted violinist, accomplished conductor, and gifted educator, ALEXANDER TREGER is in his 16th season as Music Director of AYS. He retired from his role as Concertmaster of the Los Angeles Philharmonic in September 2010 after performing with the orchestra for 36 years. He earned critical acclaim for solo appearances in concertos by Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Bartók, Mendelssohn, Sibelius, Shostakovich, and Prokofiev under the direction of Zubin Mehta, Carlo Maria Giulini, Simon Rattle, Pierre Boulez, Vladimir Ashkenazi, Valery Gergiev, Yuri Temirkanov and Esa-Pekka Salonen. Recognized for his inspiring work with young musicians, Treger also serves as Music Director/Conductor of the Crossroads School Chamber Orchestra and recently joined the Pepperdine University's Fine Arts Division faculty as an Artist in Residence.
AMERICAN YOUTH SYMPHONY, hailed for its "polish and depth" (Los Angeles Times) and performances that are "nothing short of exhilarating" (Beverly Hills Outlook), is dedicated to the artistic development of a new generation of musicians. The orchestra serves top players who seek to widen their horizons in a professional environment. Led by Alexander Treger—recently retired Concertmaster of the Los Angeles Philharmonic—and with the support of world-class guest artists, AYS offers an immersion program of weekend rehearsals and performances at Royce Hall and around the city. Activities are designed to help musicians become professionals of the highest caliber, innovative thinkers and articulate communicators, engaged in the community. The program is tuition-free, and participation is based solely on merit. The orchestra is comprised of 106 students and graduates from 28 high schools and universities in Southern California.

Frames delivers 25kW Hydrogen Electrolyzer for Plug Power
Key building block in electricity distribution from renewable energy
Marking the sale of another commercial electrolyzer, we have supplied a 25kW hydrogen electrolyzer to Plug Power, a leading provider of clean hydrogen and zero-emission fuel cell solutions. Working in collaboration with Plug Power, the Frames Electrolyzer design has been integrated into the 25kW GenFuel electrolyzer recently delivered to Japan.
Green hydrogen production from renewable sources is pivotal to overcoming the challenge of integrating solar energy electricity sources into traditional electricity grid networks. Hydrogen provides a means of efficiently storing large quantities of energy for extended periods of time. Frames PEM electrolyzer systems provide a robust and turn-key solution to generate hydrogen from water and electricity. Typically, a 25kW PEM electrolyzer will produce 0.5kg of hydrogen per hour for energy storage or fuel cell applications.
For this project, the Frames electrolyzer is integrated in a customized enclosure. The self-contained unit features demineralised water generation including continuous anode water conditioning. Hydrogen generated in the unit's Merrimack stack is then treated and conditioned to achieve 99.999% purity.
Frames is also capable of providing storage solutions in the form of compression or Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers for storing and transporting multiple tonnes of hydrogen per day.
"The combination of Frames 25kW Balance-of-Plant and Plug Power's electrolyzer stack is an important milestone in the collaboration between Frames and Plug Power," says Hector Maza, VP Electrolyzer Sales, Plug Power. "The 25kW GenFuel electrolyzer is a crucial development in the renewable portfolio of Frames and serves as the foundation for their MW-scale electrolyzers and endeavours in renewable energy".
Frames - Growing Hydrogen Processing Expertise
As a leading systems developer and integrator of energy systems, Frames has a growing range of hydrogen processing technologies including electrolyzers, purification, underground storage, liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC), compression and green hydrogen process integration.

There's a dramatic change in landscape as you cross the Straits of Magellan from Chile enroute to Tierra del Fuego in Argentinian Patagonia, the narrow two lane road passing through savannah with cattle ranches and grazing sheep as far as the eye can see. Rolling hills eventually give way to snow capped mountains bordering the sea as you reach the end of the world - el fin del mundo - in Tierra del Fuego, the rustic and beautiful wilderness before Antarctica. The main port city of Ushuaia is a quintessential arctic town where historic architecture sits among buildings made from shipping containers, and you can hop a tour or transportation to the area's scenic attractions at the bustling waterfront. Whether it's gauchos, penguin colonies, sea lions, or the natural world you seek, Argentinean Patagonia should be at the top of your list.

Coldwater Adds Over 80 Years of Wet-End Experience to Technical Support Team
Atlanta, Georgia USA: With its recent acquisition of RPM Technologies, Coldwater Group has added three highly respected wet-end experts to its Technical Support Team. Karl Lemme joins Coldwater's Engineering Group focused on wet-end product design and manufacturing. Karl has been an Engineer in the paper industry for more than 28 years and holds a BSME in Mechanical Engineering. Karl has been involved with all aspects of the design, manufacturing, and installation of wet-end drainage equipment. Karl has held positions as Design Engineer, Project Engineer, Plant Engineer and until Coldwater's acquisition, served as Engineering Manager for RPM Technologies. Karl and his wife will be relocating from Massachusetts to Atlanta and in doing so he will be trading in his snow skis for golf clubs.
Jim White joins Coldwater as Forming Systems Specialist and began his paper industry career in 1989 as a drainage equipment design engineer. Over the last 28 years Jim's held positions as an Applications Engineer, Sr. Projects Manager, Corporate Sales Account Manager, Regional Sales Manager, Sales Manager and Product Line Manager. Jim's responsibilities with Coldwater will be to work closely with our North American Sales force to deliver solutions to the wet-end of our customer's paper machines that result in performance improvements and cost savings. Jim will be based out of Belchertown Massachusetts and he enjoys camping, hunting fishing, and just about anything outdoors.
Jeff Foster also joins Coldwater as a Forming Systems Specialist and began his paper industry career in 1989 after serving as a machinist in the U.S. Navy for eight years. He started with IBS of America manufacturing ceramic drainage elements and equipment and during his ten years with IBS he worked as a Field Service Engineer, eventually becoming the Field Service Manager for North and South America. In 1999, Jeff joined Coors/Wilbanks (CoorsTek) where he served as the Sales and Service Engineer for the Eastern U.S. and Europe. When CoorsTek merged with Johnson Foils in 2003, Jeff operated as their Mid-Atlantic Sales and Service Representative. In 2013, he joined RPM Technologies and continued in the role of Sales and Service Representative for the Mid-Atlantic region. Jeff's responsibilities will include working closely with the North American sales team to deliver wet-end solutions to our customers' paper machines that result in performance improvements and cost savings.

Doug Wall, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Coldwater, commented "our recent acquisition of RPM not only gives us one of the most innovative and value-driven drainage product offerings in the industry but it adds three wet-end experts to our team with a wealth of knowledge. We are very excited about the experience, ideas and solutions Karl, Jim and Jeff will bring to our customers' wet-end operations."


Though the most important item on David Bowie's résumé is "solo musician, 1969-present," he's also loaned his skills to a remarkable number of other projects, from movies to TV shows to other people's songs. One of his most memorable cameos is 2001's Zoolander, in which Bowie—playing himself—acts as the impartial judge for a "walk-off" between Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller) and his arch-nemesis Hansel (Owen Wilson). Bowie's introduction befits his status as a legend, as he stands up in a crowd, whips his sunglasses off, and says, "I believe I might be of service," to a chorus of gasps.
In another funny cameo as himself, Bowie appeared on Ricky Gervais' post-Office show Extras. Gervais, playing the creator and star of a crappy sitcom, dumps all his woes on Bowie in a bar, complaining that he thinks he's sold out. Without a wink, Bowie whips around to a piano and starts composing a song about Gervais' pitiful existence: "Pathetic little fat man / no one's bloody laughing / the clown that no one laughs at / They all just wish he'd die." Within moments, he's inspired a bar-wide sing-along about Gervais' pug nose and probable eventual suicide. It's one of the funniest moments in an underrated series, and it's all Bowie's.
Throughout his career, Bowie has showcased a disturbingly broad vocal range, from crooner to super-creep. TV On The Radio used both extremes perfectly on "Province," having Bowie sing both in his lower register and in that scary voice he perfected on The Man Who Sold The World. Bowie never overpowers TVOTR's Kyp Malone or Tunde Adebimpe on the track, from 2006's Return To Cookie Mountain, but his addition is unmistakable, expanding the harmonies to give it a fuller, freakier sound.
No one was particularly excited about Scarlett Johansson's album of Tom Waits covers, Anywhere I Lay My Head, though interest was piqued when producer Dave Sitek revealed that Bowie had contributed backing vocals to "Fannin Street" and the album's single, "Falling Down." Turns out even Bowie can't cover for Johansson's weak singing voice, but he does bring some much-needed gravitas to the songs, particularly his world-weary tone on "Falling Down," which channels Waits at his most hopeless.
Very little makes sense in the spooky, absurd world of David Lynch's Twin Peaks, so a surprise cameo from Bowie is entirely appropriate. Dressed in an incredibly dated suit and sporting what might be the worst Southern accent ever, Bowie stumbles into Kyle MacLachlan's office. After being identified as long-lost FBI agent Phillip Jeffries, Bowie falls to the floor, ranting about the mysterious beings who haunt the town. It's far from Bowie's best acting, but it might be his strangest.
After hearing that Mott The Hoople was considering breaking up due to lack of commercial success, Bowie wrote "All The Young Dudes" for the glam band—creating its biggest hit in the process. The song is so Bowie-esque that people frequently think he sang it, when in fact his sonic contributions—backing vocals and saxophone—are buried pretty deep in the mix. As with his later work on Iggy Pop's The Idiot and Lust For Life, Bowie seemed to try and minimize his presence, so only the most avid listeners would be able to suss him out.
As a singularly charismatic character actor, Bowie is adept at finding intriguing, even counterintuitive new angles on familiar figures. Accordingly, in Martin Scorsese's controversial adaptation of The Last Temptation Of Christ, Bowie plays Pontius Pilate not as a simple heavy or a larger-than-life villain, but rather as a wry, droll pragmatist who's intrigued and more than a little confounded by Willem Dafoe's all-too-human Jesus, whom he sees as a radical, even revolutionary figure whose desire to change not just the way his followers live, but also how they think and feel, makes him a threat to the power structure. Bowie's fascinatingly restrained performance betrays a distinct admiration for Dafoe's integrity that can't overcome what he sees as his duty to protect Rome and his bosses from a man whose power could bring down the entire Roman Empire. Bowie doesn't have much screen time, but he makes every moment count.
It's unclear why Bowie would be willing to appear in Bandslam, a Vanessa Hudgens vehicle that bombed at the box office, but he doesn't have to do much in his small scene at the end of the movie. Once again positioned as an arbiter of taste, Bowie catches Hudgens' band on YouTube and offers to sign them to his new indie label. It's a fitting fairy-tale ending for the movie, but it seems unlikely that the real Bowie would give Bandslam's terrible songwriters a record contract, much less enjoy their music.
SpongeBob SquarePants frequently features inside jokes and references aimed at adults watching along with their children, and Bowie's turn in a TV movie of the Nickelodeon series as the Lord Royal Highness (or L.R.H. for short) of Atlantis was no exception. L.R.H. is as glam-rock as they come, complete with high-heeled boots and lipstick. Bowie plays him as a squeaky but astute ruler who welcomes SpongeBob and friends, before things take a turn.
Bowie is all over Iggy Pop's first two solo albums, The Idiot and Lust For Life: He produced both, as well as co-wrote and played on most of the songs. He even went on tour with Pop to promote the albums, sitting in the shadows as the keyboardist during concerts. But Bowie's presence is most visceral on Lust For Life's "Some Weird Sin," a rager that has both Pop and Bowie singing to the rafters. After a quick verse by Iggy, Bowie jumps in with a harmony, and the song turns into a menacing foot-stomper where it's hard to tell who's the lead singer. "Some Weird Sin" certainly isn't the most powerful or dynamic song in the Bowie/Pop collaboration, but nowhere else do the two legends get to go head to head.
Graham Chapman co-wrote and starred in Yellowbeard, a pirate-comedy whose cast boasts not only fellow members of Monty Python, but Cheech and Chong as well. Bowie has an uncredited cameo as a henchman who provides sexual favors for his boss when he's not torturing witnesses. Dressed in rags with a shark fin sewn to his back, he proves he's just as comfortable in a Python-esque farce as in a packed stadium.
HBO's Dream On ran for six seasons, but it's been largely forgotten (not surprisingly, since its edge has worn off over time). But some episodes stand out via their guest stars, most notably "The Second Greatest Story Ever Told," in which Bowie appears as the egotistical, insulting director Sir Ronald Moorecock. His over-the-top performance (directed by John Landis) turns what could have been a silly role into something hilariously memorable.
Christopher Nolan's The Prestige is all about showmanship (when it isn't about revenge or Hugh Jackman's dashing good looks), so it makes sense that rock's most theatrical star would make an appearance. Nolan introduces Bowie as Nikola Tesla by having him appear through an electrical storm, a fitting entrance for the idiosyncratic inventor, and perhaps a nod to the lightning makeup Bowie used on the cover of Aladdin Sane. Bowie fits right in with the pyrotechnics, but his subtle portrayal of Tesla is most powerful in a smaller scene where he cautions Jackman to end his feud with Christian Bale.

Okay, shall we have a run down of my experiences so far of a country thats strange and weird to me? :P So prepare for a long post.
At 11 am I woke up, I still had to pack and there were still a few small items I needed to buy, so I armed myself with my card and headed out to the local stores. Of course, I'm going to keep their location a secret except for saying that they're in London. (England by the way :P) I forked about £40 for a new PSP game and a new USB Headset as well as a couple of other little bits and pieces from a pound shop (a shop where everything costs £1). I installed the USB Headset onto my laptop and ensured it works, which it does because I'm using it right now.
I thought I'd comment on the food over here in America compared to Britain. Usually, there's various items I'm used to but they don't exist over here such as Irn Bru, which Trekkie101 keeps talking about. :P And the same in reverse. Such as Beef Jerky, Mountain Dew, and Red Lobster.
Okay, this is where the interesting stuff for the team starts to happen, and most is kept under wraps for what you would see as obvious reasons, after all, we dont want to ruin the surprise for you in future releases (if any. ;)) But the three Developers gave a brief presentation and a q and a session on what their plans were and how they intend to get there. As well as some (finally) follow through on various Theme site issues RunicWarrior, IchBin and I have been having.
Later we all went back to the hotel walking. RunicWarrior, Sarge and various other team members went away to celebrate the new year at a club, but I remained behind since I was only 7 months underage, which sorta made me unhappy, so I spent it developing my own project, The Cutest Baby vXI (http://babysimpson.co.uk), Donnie Shobe II and I worked hard trying to get the thing working in IE6, and IE7 but I gave up, and left it.
While some team members were climbing up and down ledges like yo-yo's I decided to text my mother and have some fun about huge holes. Turns out she wasn't getting my messages, buts what you get with international texting. :P Oh well. We took the bus back to the van and headed back to the hotel.
A Lazy day I wanted, and as it would turn out, this wasn't it, the phone rang, it was RunicWarrior, we wanted me out and about to meet some friends of his who were stopping by from Pagan Forum (http://paganforum.com) which I had recently joined. We talked about random stuff.
We quickly headed down to baggage claim and I gathered a cart, and like most carts these days, they needed a £1 coin to disconnect! Good thing I had one then. :P Our luggage came off quite quickly, and we went through to arrivals where my dad and my brother were waiting. I left RunicWarrior and Compuart to go to their next flights and I went with my dad and brother to the car.


I've been working on poetry for the last two years and would like to share some here now and again.
no more reaching up high, to raise expectations to a youth that grow up to abandon all wonder but still want to justify their life full of unappreciation.
I don't want to grow old before I see the season blossoming. The leaves falling in the midst of being alone.
reminded of their beauty turned to insults pulled them down just like an accussation turned around.
always someone coming to make kids sad, and abandon hope?
It was hope what was heard in the laughter as the scenery reflected a seemlessly ordinary day.
and yet the one we'd like to remember the most.
the innate recollections of a return to stillness as the trees have more to say when my old patterns, prenotion, don't inquisite.
is a recipe for existance?
when rehearsing lost its flare, and losing run its course.
Odd what I look like, one jacket, pair of shoes, pants. and shirt.
turns out I was never the person wearing the clothes.
trying to be alone. people I noticed brushed up on me, distant relatives, wish they'd knew me.
I see how simple it was, and yet simple still is.
the only one who asked how I am, and didn't judge me for answering honestly.
a fable for listening attentive ears?
a role model for the fatherless?
collided in the wrecklessness of an aging desperate who saw an opportunity impatient to get to it before I knew I had developed potential and realize it.
I have to hand it to artists! I can't write worth a hoot!
Welcome again To cfs. Thank you for taking the time to post your valuable work. I'm sure many will be blessed and moved in some way by it.
thanks, I'll be taking a look around and see what topics I'd like to share and discuss.
added a number of new poems today.
I'll add a few more while I'm posting.
to some so familiar, we take for granted and yet unsavored or known to those left out to work.
would make a new currency.
Its not like I yearn for someone to love, cuz really I'm having trouble loving me, wonder where to find what it means, I've gone mostly without the affections of that, to love, what is that?
with the old becoming the guides of what will change my story.
if there wasn't a nest then what about families?
a question, and yet resolution ?
Yes Sir We Know !!
Actually Sir you have your own writing Style and it Blesses those who will be blessed.
If you have any Questions or Issues with the forum Please feel free to contact a moderator or helper and we will do what ever we can to help.
I think your a talented writer.

NuMedii Announces Creation of World's First Single-Cell Sequencing Atlas for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis by its Collaborators
SAN MATEO, Calif., July 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — NuMedii, Inc., a data-driven drug discovery company, today announced the availability of the world's first single-cell sequencing atlas for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) that was the result of a strategic research collaboration including the Yale School of Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and NuMedii. This comprehensive catalog reveals the complexity and diversity of 35 aberrant cellular populations in IPF. An orphan disease, IPF is a chronic, progressive, and usually fatal interstitial lung disease for which the origin is unknown and current approved therapies have limited effects on survival or quality of life.
Two of the world's leading experts in interstitial lung disease – Naftali Kaminski, MD, Boehringer-Ingelheim Endowed Professor of Internal Medicine, and Chief of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, Yale School of Medicine; and Ivan O. Rosas, MD, Lester and Sue Smith Chair in Lung Health, and Professor and Section Chief, Department of Medicine, Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine – led the development of this index with the goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers in IPF. The atlas's formation was published in the July 8, 2020 issue of the scientific journal, Science Advances, and the data are available at www.IPFCellAtlas.com.
"The opportunity to apply NuMedii's AI-driven technology to such a rich dataset has fostered a greater understanding of the mechanisms driving lung fibrosis and greatly augmented our IPF therapeutic discovery programs," said Heather Arnett, Ph.D., Vice President of Research, NuMedii. "We thank the researchers in Ivan and Naftali's laboratories who brought this immense project to fruition, as well as the patients and their families for their contributions to science. There is no doubt that this work will advance the development of new ways to treat this fatal lung disease."
NuMedii's proprietary and dynamic AIDD (Artificial Intelligence for Drug Discovery) technology employs deep learnings of human biology consisting of hundreds of millions of structured molecular, pharmacological, and clinical data points that the Company has curated and harmonized. The Company couples these data with proprietary machine learning and network-based algorithms to discover and advance precise, effective new drug candidates, as well as biomarkers predictive of efficacy for subsets of patients in a broad spectrum of therapeutic areas including orphan diseases like IPF.
Funding for this work was provided by the NIH National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and Three Lakes Partners.
About NuMedii, Inc.
NuMedii discovers effective new targets, drugs and biomarkers via its exclusive AIDD (Artificial Intelligence for Drug Discovery) drug discovery technology originally developed at Stanford University. The technology consists of both public and proprietary data and is geared to improve the probability of therapeutic success. NuMedii partners with pharmaceutical companies for development and commercialization. For more information, please visit www.numedii.com.
