Identification of new therapeutic weapons against the most aggressive form of breast cancer: objective of an ambitious investigation project
Between 16,000 and 17,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed annually in Spain. Of these, about 20% belong to the so-called triple-negative cancer, the subtype of cancer with the largest rate of recurrence and mortality, especially among younger women. An agreement has now been reached by the Hospital del Mar, the Center of Genomic Regulation and Roche Diagnostics to investigate this subtype of cancer, with the goal of identifying new biomarkers and therapeutic targets that are susceptible to chemotherapy
Triple-negative breast cancer (Estrogen Receptor-Negative, Progesterone Receptor-Negative, and HER-Negative) is a type of breast cancer with clinical characteristics and specific pathologies that represents a relevant clinic problem, as it affects around 20% of all women with breast cancer, and especially those who are young. On this basis, doctors from the Hospital del Mar and scientists from the IMIM (Institute of Medical Investigation of the Hospital del Mar) and the CRG (Center of Genomic Regulation) have now begun an ambitious project together with Roche Diagnostics to identify new therapeutic targets, as well as biomarkers that are predictive of the clinical evolution of this subtype of cancer.
"Triple-negative" refers to hereditary mutations in genes that are causative of breast cancer. Since these mutations are not detectable in the initial phases of cancer, they can only be diagnosed in the advanced phases, rendering the screening programs ineffective against this type of tumor. Additionally, the absence of hormone receptors (of estrogen and progesterone receptors) and of the biomarker HER implies that the therapies against these receptors (hormonal or anti-HER2 therapy) cannot be used, resulting in a treatment for these patients based solely on chemotherapy. For the majority of patients, treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy is inefficient and can be toxic.
Personalized medicine against breast cancer
This highly ambitious project is the result of an collaborative agreement with the Diagnostic Division of Roche and relies on the participation of the Center for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI). In the initial phase, the planned investment will be about 1.5 million Euro, with the total investment expecting to reach about five million. "We would like to study triple-negative breast cancers using the most modern technology for genetic sequencing," explained Dr. Joan Albanell, head of the Oncological Services at the Hospital del Mar and the director of the Cancer Research Program of the IMIM. "We hope that the joint knowledge of clinical, basic and industrial investigators will permit us to discover new therapeutic targets and biomarkers that will allow us to develop specific treatments and advance personalized medicine for breast cancer," he added.
Finding new therapeutic targets and consolidating new pharmaceutics for these patients will be a long process. For this reason, the team of investigators is also looking for markers that are indicative of the susceptibility of these patients to chemotherapy, to avoid treatments that are highly toxic yet inefficient, and to be able to act more aggressively in the cases in which the chemotherapy will clearly be beneficial. "At the present time, we still don't have therapies a la carta or personalized to fight against triple-negative breast cancer," indicated Dr. Albanell. He emphasized: "If we manage to successfully discover new genetic alterations that are responsible for growth in this subtype of cancer, we could then design new tools to better predict the individual patient prognostics and to additionally create new selective therapies."
Leading research platform world wide
This project will combine cutting-edge technology with resources at the highest technical level. "The investigation platforms that will be used are among the most advanced in the world and require a leading bioinformatic support to be able to process and work in the most efficient way with the obtained data," explained Roderic Guigó, Coordinador of the Bioinformatics and Genomics Program at the CRG. "The contribution of the CRG, which has these ultrasequencing and bioinformatic platforms, will allow us to set up this project with the goal of generating clinically relevant results in the future," added Guigó.
Jaime Vives, the General Director at Roche Diagnostics, stated: "Roche and the Hospital del Mar share a strategic vision aimed at promoting personalized medicine. For this reason, we are betting on the know-how of the investigators at the Hospital del Mar, the IMIM and the CRG in applying the genetic and molecular analysis technology and in investigating biomarkers and experimental therapies in breast cancer."
The importance of this alliance resides in the union of the biomedical industry with professionals who are fighting to improve public health. This is why an obvious exponent will be the health sector, which will play as an important role as the motor of a new economic model, to generate wealth as well as to energize the economic context.
About the Functional Unit of Breast Pathology at the Hospital del Mar
The Hospital del Mar was one of the first centers in Catalonia to create a Unit that covers the process from early diagnosis- with the most consolidated program and the most registered years - to breast reconstruction following breast cancer surgery. The Unit brings together all of the specialists necessary for diagnostics (e.g., radiologists, gynecologists and pathologists), the oncological and surgical treatment, during rehabilitation, for case management nurses and in an important research program. Research arising from this will pioneer various fields, such as the detection of markers indicative of a response to treatment, and will have the objective to optimize the treatment from the start, thus avoiding inefficient treatments with multiple secondary effects. The goal of this is to progress to the point that treatments a la carta can be offered, introducing an era of a high-quality technical medicine that can be personalized and thus more humane.
With its headquarters in Basel, Switzerland, Roche is a leading company in healthcare. Roche is the world's largest biotech company, with highly differentiated medicines in oncology, virology, inflammation, metabolism, and the central nervous system. Roche is also the world leader in vitro diagnostics, including histology cancer diagnostics, and is a pioneer in diabetes management. The goal of the personalized healthcare strategy at Roche is to provide medicine and diagnostic tools that allow tangible improvements in the health, quality of life and survival of patients. In Spain, the Diagnostic Division of Roche is located in Sent Cugat del Vallés, Barcelona.

The 7 most anticipated luxury cars of 2017
by Sayan Chakravarty
We saw some amazing cars being launched in 2016 and there's no doubt it was one hell of year for car-enthusiasts like me, but it's time to look forward to all the highly awaited upcoming cars that will soon go on sale. And by the looks of it, 2017 might be even better thanks to the long list of exciting launches planned by automakers around the world. Quite a few models that have not been updated for a while are going to see fresh reboots this year including Audi's majority of the line-up. And not to forget the drool-some supercars and hypercars; we have only seen them in spy-shots and teasers till now and are ready to be unveiled. This year's Geneva Motor Show, which is barely two months away, promises to be action packed and we can't wait for it. Until then, read on to know what we think are going to be the top 7 cars that will hit the markets in 2017:
7. Lexus LC 500
Ever since the mad Lexus LFA went out of production, all the cars built by Lexus have somewhat failed to impress. People have been complaining that the element of ludicrousness is missing. Well, it might all change as Lexus is ready to take the wraps off its new luxury sports coupe. Introducing the 2017 Lexus LC 500, a luxurious muscle coupe that will arrive with 467 horses packed under the hood. Unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show, the LC 500 is powered by the same naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 found in the RC F and the GS F. However, the design and styling of the sports coupe looks very close of the mad LC-LF concept that came out in 2012 – and that's good news. The engine will be mated to an all-new 10-speed automatic transmission. I am already excited!
6. Tesla Model 3
Tesla Model 3 might be the most affordable Tesla which has been built for the masses with a starting price of only $35,000 but hell it deserves to be on this list. The Tesla Model 3 will be the third model to join the company's line up and the four-door all-electric saloon will rival the likes of BMW 3 Series, Jaguar XE and Mercedes C-Class.
Tesla claims that car will have a range of 215 miles and the base variant will do 0-60 mph in less than 6 seconds, with versions that go a lot faster. The Model 3 will come in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions and is claimed to be one of the safest cars in the world. And just in case you are wondering – yes, the Model 3 will also come with the self-drive feature.

5. Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo
The design and styling of Porsche Panamera is debatable topic; some like it and others hate it. But I believe, Porsche has successfully managed to make the sports saloon much, much more appealing than the first generation model. And now the German automaker is ready to launch an all new variant of the Panamera this year. Yes, I am talking about a shooting brake version which will be called the Panamera Sport Turismo.
It is one of the most spied cars of 2016 and the internet was flooded with the car's test mule being tested at the Nurburgring. The Panamera Sport Turismo will debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show and is set to rival the Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake.
4. Aston Martin V8 Vantage
Do you like the Aston Martin DB11 and think the carmaker's rest of the line-up desperately needs a facelift? Yeah, me too. Although, Aston Martin makes some of the prettiest cars but line-up now looks a bit dated. However last year, a camouflaged Aston Martin test mule was stopped which looked quite similar to the DB11 but was much shorter in length. Car spies believe the test mule was none other than the 2018 V8 Vantage will be built around a shortened variation of the DB11's aluminium platform – hence the similarity. Under the hood will be AMG twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, but automobile pundits believe Aston Martin might come up with a second variant that'll be powered by DB11's 5.2-liter V12. The new Vantage is scheduled for launch in autumn 2017 and its roadster variant hitting the markets in early 2018.
3. 2018 Audi A8
After a couple of fast sports cars and hypercars, it's time to put a luxury limo on the list; not just any luxury limo but Audi's Flagship A8. The current generation Audi A8 looks quite dated in front of the W222 Mercedes S-Class and the new BMW 7-Series. It not only looks old on the outside but lacks on the creature comfort and technology front as compared to the 7-Series and S-Class. Audi will debut the next-generation A8 this year and it's going to be a hell of a luxury saloon.
The all-new A8 will be Audi's model to draw influence from the Prologue Concept unveiled at the 2014 Los Angeles Motor Show and also the first car to make the transition from assisted to piloted-driving adopting tech previewed on the RS7 Piloted Driving Concept. The system can practically drive the car in traffic jams on a highway at speeds between 0 and 60 km/h (37 mph) and park all by itself while the driver stands outside watching.

2. McLaren 720S
McLaren as a carmaker is growing at an unbelievable pace; the company nearly doubled its sales volume year-over-year by selling 3286 cars in 2016. That's almost as many as Lamborghini and it's an incredible feat. But McLaren deserves it as the marquee has added some amazing machines to its line-up in the last few years. And now it's all set to replace the 650S with one jaw-droppingly beautiful sportscar. The McLaren 720S will debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2017. It is the first replacement model in company's history and the first of 15 new cars to debut as part of its new business plan.
The McLaren 720S will be powered by a new 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine rather than the 3.8-liter unit found in all of its modern road cars. Total horsepower you ask? Nearly 720!
1. Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta
It's been more than three years Ferrari unveiled LaFerrari at the Geneva Auto Show; yup, time flies isn't it? And the world has been eagerly waiting for a drop-top version of the hypercar ever since. Well, rejoice Ferrari fans as 2017 is the year! Ferrari confirmed the production of the topless LaFerrari at the Paris Motor Show last year along with other details. And much like the special name of the Italian marquee's flagship itself, the drop-top has a unique name as well. It won't be called Spider; Ferrari has named it LaFerrari Aperta.
Only 209 units will be made out of which two hundred will be sold and the rest will be used by Ferrari for promotional purposes. Not so surprisingly, all the LaFerrari Apertas have already been sold. As for the specifications, there's no change under the hood and Ferrari claims that it maintains the torsional rigidity and aerodynamics of the hardtop variant.

Many of President Donald Trump's biggest supporters live in rural America, where it's not unusual to see Trump flags flying high, along with caps and bumper stickers boasting his signature "Make America Great Again" campaign theme.
However, many of the president's actions and words about trade are starting to hit farmers and ranchers where it hurts most: in their pocketbooks. And they fear that relationships with China, Canada, Mexico and other key trading partners may get worse before they get better. So, is political support for Trump wavering as Democrats had hoped?
"It depends," says American Farm Bureau Federation President and Georgia farmer Zippy Duvall.
"Those who are most impacted are real nervous and getting anxious about it to be over. This is a real fluid situation, where every morning we wake up and wonder what tweet or press release is going to come out and might affect the markets." Duvall pointed to the optimism farmers felt after news reports that China might double agricultural imports on one day and the pessimism a few days later, when the Trump administration announced plans to impose tariffs on the Asian nation.
Duvall says his organization is spending a lot of time communicating with the Trump administration to "help them realize how sensitive the markets are to all the rhetoric that's going on." AFBF joined forces with the American Soybean Association, the National Corn Growers Association, the National Association of Wheat Growers and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers to ask members to call their lawmakers and let them know they want trade, not tariffs.
NCGA President Kevin Skunes says his members are also "trying to stay positive" but the uncertainty over the North American Free Trade Agreement and trade with China is making life on the farm even more difficult in an already low-price environment.
"If things go south any further, the president will likely start losing support," he adds.
With the Trump Administration expected to publish a final list of Chinese goods that will be hit with a new 25 percent tariff by June 15, many farmers and ranchers are bracing for China to retaliate against U.S. agricultural products. Some are already feeling the pain because China slapped U.S. pork with an additional 25 percent tariff back in April. And pork exporters were hit last week by Mexico with a 10 percent tariff that increases to 20 percent on July 5.
"I wish I could tell producers that everything is going to be OK. But we can't tell them that. We don't know. We are at the tip of the spear here, and as one of our board members said…we are not only at the tip, that spear is going into us and we're taking blood," says Nick Giordano, Vice President and Counsel, Global Government Affairs for the National Pork Producers Council.

Restenciled boxcars are commonplace on modern railroads. Often what remains of the original paint is badly weathered and faded.
HS 75362 started out as a St. Lawrence Railroad boxcar built from a kit.
Since this was a very detailed car to begin with, the only physical modification was the addition of Kadee No. 58 couplers. The rest was all paint and weathering.

Devoted In Death by J. D. Robb
In this crime thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, Lieutenant Eve Dallas tracks a pair of Bonnie and Clyde copycats whose heated passion for each other is fueled by cold brutality. When Eve Dallas examines a fresh body in a seedy alleyway in downtown Manhattan, the victim's injuries are so extensive that she almost misses the clue. Carved into the skin is the shape of a heart—initials inside reading "E" and "D"... In Arkansas, Ella-Loo and her recently released ex-con boyfriend, Darryl, don't ever intend to part again. So they hit the road, but then things get a little messy and they wind up killing someone—an experience that stokes a fierce, wild desire in Ella-Loo. A desire for Darryl. And a desire to kill again. As they cross state lines on their way to New York to find the life they think they deserve, they leave a trail of evil behind them. But now they've landed in the jurisdiction of Lt. Dallas and her team at the New York Police and Security Department. And, with her husband Roarke at her side, Eve has every intention of hunting them down and giving them what they truly deserve...
Devoted To Death by R. Andrew Chesnut
R. Andrew Chesnut offers a fascinating portrayal of Santa Muerte, a skeleton saint whose cult has attracted millions of devotees over the past decade. Although condemned by mainstream churches, this folk saint's supernatural powers appeal to millions of Latin Americans and immigrants in the U.S. Devotees believe the Bony Lady (as she is affectionately called) to be the fastest and most effective miracle worker, and as such, her statuettes and paraphernalia now outsell those of the Virgin of Guadalupe and Saint Jude, two other giants of Mexican religiosity. In particular, Chesnut shows Santa Muerte has become the patron saint of drug traffickers, playing an important role as protector of peddlers of crystal meth and marijuana; DEA agents and Mexican police often find her altars in the safe houses of drug smugglers. Yet Saint Death plays other important roles: she is a supernatural healer, love doctor, money-maker, lawyer, and angel of death. She has become without doubt one of the most popular and powerful saints on both the Mexican and American religious landscapes.

Brotherhood In Death by J. D. Robb
In this thrilling novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series, Lieutenant Eve Dallas finds herself in the middle of a conspiracy when she investigates the disappearance of a former U.S. Senator. Just as Dennis Mira is about to confront his cousin Edward about selling the West Village brownstone that belonged to their grandfather, he gets a shock: Edward is in front of him, bruised and bloody...and then everything goes black. When Dennis comes to, Edward is gone. Luckily Dennis's wife is a top profiler for the NYPSD—and a close colleague of Lieutenant Eve Dallas. Now Eve is determined to uncover the secrets of Edward Mira and learn what enemies he may have made in his long career as a lawyer, judge, and senator. A badge and a billionaire husband can get you access to places others can't go, and Eve intends to shine some light on the dirty deals and dark motives behind the disappearance of a powerful man, the family discord over a multimillion-dollar piece of real estate...and a new case that no one saw coming.
Festive In Death by J. D. Robb
The kitchen knife jammed into his cold heart pinned a cardboard sign to his well-toned chest. It read: Santa Says You've Been Bad!!! Ho, Ho, Ho! It's Christmas, but Lieutenant Eve Dallas is in no mood to celebrate. While her charismatic husband Roarke plans a huge, glittering party, Eve has murder on her mind. The victim - personal trainer Trey Ziegler - was trouble in life and is causing even more problems in death. Vain, unfaithful and vindictive, Trey had cultivated a lot of enemies. Which means Eve has a lot of potential suspects. And when she and Detective Peabody uncover Trey's sinister secret, the case takes a deadly turn. Christmas may be a festival of light, but Eve and Roarke will be forced once more down a very dark path in their hunt for the truth.
Apprentice In Death by J. D. Robb
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Lieutenant Eve Dallas must hunt down the deadly snipers terrorizing Manhattan in this fast-paced In Death thriller from J. D. Robb. The shots came quickly, silently, and with deadly accuracy. Within seconds, three people were dead at Central Park's ice-skating rink. The victims: a talented young skater, a doctor, and a teacher. As random as random can be. Eve Dallas has seen a lot of killers during her time with the NYPSD but never one like this. A review of the security videos reveals that the victims were killed with a tactical laser rifle fired by a sniper, who could have been miles away when the trigger was pulled. And though the list of locations where the shooter could have set up seems endless, the number of people with that particular skill set is finite: police, military, professional killer. Eve's husband, Roarke, has unlimited resources—and genius—at his disposal. And when his computer program leads Eve to the location of the sniper, she learns a shocking fact: There were two—one older, one younger. Someone is being trained by an expert in the science of killing, and they have an agenda. Central Park was just a warm-up. And as another sniper attack shakes the city to its core, Eve realizes that though we're all shaped by the people around us, there are those who are just born evil...
Thankless In Death by J. D. Robb
In this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series, Lieutenant Eve Dallas discovers that deep hatred can seethe within the closest relationships when she hunts down a man who murdered his own family. Lieutenant Eve Dallas has plenty to be grateful for, especially Roarke's big Irish family, which is a joyful improvement on her own dark childhood. Other couples aren't as lucky. The Reinholds, for example, are lying in their home stabbed and bludgeoned almost beyond recognition. Those who knew them are stunned—and heartbroken by the evidence that they were killed by their own son. Turns out that twenty-six-year-old Jerry is not only capable of brutality but has taking a liking to it. With the money he's stolen from his parents and a long list of grievances, he intends to finally make his mark on the world. Eve and her team already know the who, how, and why of this murder. What they need to pinpoint is where Jerry's going to strike next.
Celebrity In Death by J. D. Robb
In this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series, Lieutenant Eve Dallas must solve the murder of an actress whose final role was to die for... Lieutenant Eve Dallas is no party girl, but she's managing to have a reasonably good time at the celebrity-packed bash celebrating The Icove Agenda, a film based on one of her famous cases. It's a little spooky seeing the actress playing her, who looks as though she could be her long-lost twin. Not as unsettling, though, as seeing the actress who plays Peabody—drowned in the lap pool on the roof of the director's luxury building. Talented but rude and widely disliked, K.T. Harris made an embarrassing scene during dinner. Now she's at the center of a crime scene—and Eve is more than ready to get out of her high heels and strap on her holster to step into the role she was born to play: cop.

The Transport Secretary has been blasted after it emerged that an official in his department advised keeping a rail firm's compensation scheme for passengers "low key".
Officials from Mr Grayling's discussed not informing the media about the passenger compensation scheme.
Commuters were battered by delayed and cancelled services this summer after a botched timetable shake-up, with 470 trains a day axed on the GTR network.
But correspondence obtained under freedom of information laws revealed that an official in the Department for Transport told a rail company not to publicise a compensation scheme set up by GTR to reimburse those affected by the travel chaos.
Maria Caulfield: Will a rail review really reveal anything we didn't already know?
A message between officials in the department discussing GTR's compensation scheme suggested making the refunds programme known only to "passengers and stakeholders, not media", while another advised the company to "keep this low key".
The move was blasted by former Transport Secretary Lord Adonis, who told the Telegraph: "If this letter is authentic, the official should be immediately dismissed unless it was an instruction from a higher authority.
"And if it came from ministers, Parliament should be told, because this appears to be an attempt to hoodwink passengers."
Daisy Cooper, the Liberal Democrat candidate for St Albans who obtained the exchanges under FoI, said the revelations reinforced fears that "the department and the minister haven't got passengers at heart".
Transport Secretary Chirs Grayling was quizzed on the letter at Parliamentary committee hearing on Monday night and told MPs that he had "no idea why that suggestion was made" and that it was "certainly not what happened".
Top Department for Transport official Peter Wilkinson told the Transport Committee: "I cannot explain that".
A spokesperson for the GTR rail firm said "every effort" had been made the publicise the scheme.
"Passengers affected by the disruption in the summer have been encouraged to apply for special industry compensation," they said.
The Department for Transport said: "GTR's compensation scheme was widely publicised at the start of July, shortly before the correspondence in question was sent.
"Our priority was therefore to directly inform passengers eligible for compensation about their right to claim, while also ensuring the process worked smoothly."


I must speak the truth: tears came to my eyes when I heard these two great voices singing together.
Art unifies diversity on the level of consciousness: unity in diversity is one's experience. The universe sings in these men's voices. Enjoy.

"There never seems to be enough time in the day to get it all done." Do you ever find yourself saying that? Maybe its because your mind is a cluttered and tangled mess of to do lists, priorities, worries, wishes, regrets, plans, ideas, etc. My solution to this dilemma is to get in front of a computer screen and dump all that mess into a list or a series of lists that I have created in Google Docs, Google Tasks, and Microsoft OneNote. Yes, I use 3 different applications because I can't decide which one I like the best. I've often been called a "digital pack rat" or "digital hoarder" because I am constantly making lists, saving documents, or typing notes and ideas into one of these applications.
This has been a daily exercise for me for years and I find it to be very rewarding and stress relieving. Just to get all of that stuff out of my head and into an organized system that I can reference and use for prioritizing tasks and information is a relief. As you try this, keep in mind that it is important to review, prioritize, mark complete, and archive tasks and information as it is completed on a daily basis. This will keep the system from getting cluttered and will help you to organize and plan your activities.
For additional reference in this area, this article from Lifehack entitled "50 Tricks to Get Things Done Faster, Better, and More Easily" includes a ton of good ideas for increasing productivity and relieving stress.

Sometimes it is about ensuring the best user experience for consumers and enhanced viewer experience. At COLORS, we have always believed in conducting business that meets our consumer's needs. Today, our viewers are mostly mobile owing to which we can draw synergies with a popular mobile browser like UC Browser, thereby making our content appealing to audiences regardless of the type of screen they're using.
With content on-the-go becoming a lucrative option for today's viewers, associating with a brand like UC Browser, for shows including Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, Bigg Boss 10, Comedy Nights Live and 24: Season 2, allows us to explore different promotional strategies that make it a beneficial proposition for us." After success in China, UCWeb has now launched We-Media program in India.

You can create unique and unforgettable awards and trophies with 3D printing.
3D printing is a process where an object is build layer by layer with a 3d printer. Almost every shape is possible. The process of 3D printing starts with creating a 3D computer model. The 3D printer prints the objects according to the 3D file. Other names of 3D printing are Rapid Prototyping and Rapid Manufacturing.
There are different kinds of 3D printers on the market and the innovation of these printers is very fast. The most important features for awards and gifts are the materials which can be printed, possibility of color, details and the speed. We can support you in creating your 3D prints with the right 3D printer.
We are specialized in creating awards and corporate gifts with 3D printing. This requires specific knowledge of 3D printers, the materials, finishing and packaging. We also check if there are better or cheaper alternatives for 3D printing.
The first 3D printers were only able to print plastic (ABS, PLA) but now more materials like stainless steel, silver, ceramics and glass can be printed as well.
We also take care that the 3D prints are finished perfectly. For example with a base, transparent display, personalization and packaging.
3D products can be made with mold as well. This can be done with different materials. The result is often better than 3D printing. The mold production is often used to create miniatures and statues. This technique is mainly used for higher volumes because of the high initial costs.
With this technique a glass sculpture is 3D marked inside l by a 3D laser machine. Just like 3d printing this is done using a 3D computer model. The result is that a 3D image in white / grey color is created inside glass.
Compared with 3D printing this technique is more affordable.
By this technique a piece of material is cut by a machine so there remains a shape. It can be compared with the work of a sculptor. Because of this the shape has his limits.
Do you want more information about 3D printing?

Mesh Victims are Pissed Off! We ALL Should Be!
This is understandably offensive to victims who do not want to see their bodies as series of business transactions; and, I can't say that I blame them, but this page does not tell people what they want to hear but rather need to hear in order to make the best decisions based off of facts. Implanting mesh into bodies creates profit for device companies, surgeons, hospitals and insurance companies. It's not a pretty picture but it's the reality of the situation. The inverse is also true when explanting mesh, device companies (sometimes the same companies that implanted mesh will make money again upon the removal with other devices), surgeons, hospitals, insurance companies and attorneys/advocates all stand to profit form this process.
Go ahead, get angry-no get pissed off, then get realistic–get pissed off again and become your own advocate for your health. Once the facts are provided better choices can be made to force accountability from everyone in the broken system. How you do that is by educating yourself and asking questions (lots and lots of questions) and keep very detailed fact based relevant records. Do not allow yourself to become a victim a second or third time. This is prefaced with that there are good in bad in all elements associated with this process. Make sure you expose the bad and work with the good.
For example: Go to the Ethicon site not under the patient section but healthcare provider section and make sure none of these products will be used for upcoming procedures if you've been injured by Ethicon/Gynecare mesh.
Every patient should do their homework and the new disclosure of payments from device and pharma to doctors through the Sunshine Act this makes that much easier; and, all the more reason physicians should have no problem disclosing such information to patients and signing a document prior to any surgery. Again, remember there are good and bad within every system and just because someone is paid is not necessarily a bad thing but extremes are usually a good indication of an area of concern. Context of payment is used by many in the industry as way of #PRSpinSunshineAct to try and justify exorbitant payments. Something many of these physicians should have thought about prior to the data release and not after #PRSpinUnSPunSunshineAct where patients need to decide whether context really means conflict of interest?
Many hospitals looking to save costs on their end #PRSPinReProcessing will say that reprocessing an item will pass the cost savings on the patient. Yes, desposible devices (used once in a procedure and tossed) are expensive and part of the problem but are designed to be just that, disposable and for good reason. However, #PRSpinUnSpunReProcessing hospitals looking to save a quick buck at the patient's expense isn't the answer either.
The best example I can give is a personal one when I was selling plates and screws and a hospital decided to reprocess disposable the drill bits in a consigned tray. A consigned tray is a tray taken to every account in the reps territory and used by the entire patient population (in my case including the County hospital which saw its fair share of Country prisoners). A drill bit used in the mandible (lower jaw) is not unlike a regular drill bit used in wood. Little particles stick to it and no matter how well you clean it once it's been inside the head of a patient with a blood disease (HIV, Hep) I would never want to use that same drill bit in another patient, would you for a $12o product? Again, education and make the best decisions based on facts.
High priced devices are still a huge part of the problem and will still be addressed on a different post with detailed breakdowns.
Here's an example of how the hospital gets paid.
We see that the device/pharma industry are paying billions to the DOJ or recent settlements to victims but what we're not seeing is private health insurance companies going after device/pharma and industry for re-payment and the question is why? The private insurance companies go after victim settlements but not the actual companies that caused injury.
from the private healthcare insurance companies to go after the device companies and not the victims!
I cannot state enough that there are good and bad within every faction of business and this area is no different. #PRSpinAdvocates work for free, #PRSPinUnSpunAdvocates they do not for free nor should they. An Advocate should be doing what you cannot (either due to physical limitation or knowledge in an area). Meaning an advocate should be helping with campaigns, media coverage, etc. and it's naïve to not see this as a business. That said, I would not give a dime to anyone whom I didn't have a contract with where specific terms were addressed along with expectations.
The mesh goals for all victims should be remove mesh from the market and help victims hold the device companies accountable by providing victims with fair settlements and holding the insurance companies accountable by going after the device companies (which still is not happening). Any social media support group or advocate that's deviating from these goals I'd question why and work to expose the truth eliminate it from the process and work with like-minded individuals with the same goals.
Medical sexism is alive and well in the mesh community; and, this is not victim blaming, but understand how the community is perceived from an industry insider to ensure you are receiving the best medical attention. For every 100 victims that are injured from a medical product there is one that will complain about problems that are not related to the specific product and that one, unfair or not, will set all the others back weakening the overall argument to remove the product from the market and trust the FDA and device companies count on this as reason to prevent pulling the product. When working with your providers make sure you are direct about the problem, be able to articulate accurately exactly what you are experiencing and keep focus on the problem as it relates to your mesh related injury.
Example: If a patient is in with the medical provider discussing the migration of pelvic mesh do not also mention a new foot pain (as it's likely not associated with mesh) this hurts that patient as well as all other women who want the product removed from the market. If you never had headaches before mesh implantation and now do mention that but if you've had headaches since your teen years it's not relevant to your mesh case. * One of the number one complaints from medical providers is that patients will come in with one problem but try and squeeze 15 into one appointment. If you're there for one problem stay on that one problem if you want to be taken seriously. (I know this seems harsh-it's the reality-Remember I've been in OR's and doctor's offices for over 15 years and working as a consultant privy to which patients are perceived as creditable and which aren't).
*The information provided in is not legal or medical advice just an overview of how and why the industry often dismisses victims which prevent the removal of certain products. If you are already working with specific providers or attorneys consult with them and ask directly how they want the information conveyed to strengthen your case.

Visit streaming.thesource.com for more information New Jack City came about at a pivotal time. In 1991. Hip Hop was still a fledging music genre and culture, looking to officially legitimize itself in the eyes mainstream America. In addition, the blaxploitation film genre had been defunct for over a decade, leaving a gaping hole in Black Hollywood. New Jack City was a harbinger of the resurgence of Black actors, writers and filmmakers in Hollywood, as well as the crystallization of Hip Hops synergistic capabilities. The film also catapulted actors likeWesley Snipeswho played the lead role as the morally barren kingpin Nino BrownandChris Rock stick-up-kid-turned-crackhead-informant Pookie, into stardom.The films directorMario Van Peeblesalsomade his directorial debut with the film, which he starred in as well.Ice Twho also played a major role in New Jack Cityas NYPD detective Scotty Appleton, spoke with Rock on his podcast about some of the behind-the-scenes of the cult classic.

Panamanians to mark independence with parade
Panamanian indigenous San Blas natives parade in New York.
Panamanians from both the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean regions of the isthmus are preparing for the 114th anniversary of their separation from Colombia with a commemorative festivity of the Nov. 3, 1903 independence by hosting a flag-raising ceremony, parade and festival.
Organized by the Day of Independence Committee of Panama in New York (DICPNY), for the 22nd year, since its formation, the organization is again hosting a pre-independence celebration in Brooklyn to mark the historic occasion.
Slated to kick-off on Oct. 7 at 10 am from Franklin Ave. a parade featuring marching bands, folkloric groups, cultural organizations, school and community representatives and elected officials will mark the annual event.
Throughout the route from Bergen Street along Franklin Avenue to President Street beauty queens, flag-waving revelers and colorful costumes will decorate a grand parade which will culminate at Classon Avenue and Eastern Parkway.
There a performance stage will welcome singers, dancers amidst a confluence of vendors, merchandisers, artisans and culinary experts all vying to promote the national specialties that distinguish the isthmus that connects two continents.
Last year, indigenous natives of the San Blas Islands brought their unique handcrafted embroidered 'molas' to the parade for the first time.
The distinctive and decorative pattern, unique to the populous, held prominence throughout the day as natives displayed them on traditional garb.
A queen dressed in traditional outfit also added to the pageantry.
Fraternal groups – some of them displaying West Indian/ Panamanian unity flaunted banners identifying them to be Panamanian Jamaica, Panama Canal Alumni, Caribbean American Inc., (best known as PAJACAM).
Grand marshals for the pre-Columbus Day celebration this year are Jose Francis, director producer of "Rinconsito Panameno," a TV program and New York Supreme Court Judge Shawndya L. Simpson.
Some of the participating bands include — the Panamanian Marching Band of Atlanta, the First Panamanian Marching Band of Brooklyn and the United Panamanians Veterans Band.
Other participating bands from Panamá include: Banda de Musica El Hogar, Banda Independiente Apocalipsis, Instituto Nacional, Instituto Jose Dolores Moscote, Banda Internacional Panamá para Cristo and many more.
Organizers claim the main objective of the organization is to 'diffuse knowledge in regards to the Panamanian culture."
Another they said "is to bring Panamanians and other Latin Americans together to celebrate and commemorate Panama's separation from Colombia which occurred on Nov.r 3 1903."

The World's Super-Centenarian From Jamaica Has Died
The world's oldest person has died at age 117.
Violet Moss Brown died on Sept. 15 in her homeland Jamaica where she lived her entire life.
Reportedly, she died peacefully on the Friday afternoon less than a week after being hospitalized following reports she was showing signs of illness.
Reports are that she felt ill and on instructions from Barry Russell, her 85-year-old son was taken to a hospital in Montego Bay which is located miles away from her Duanvale home.
Reports are that she made it clear that she did not want to go.
Russell said he gave instructions for his mother to be taken from her home after she got ill but his mother's death came as a surprise to him.
Violet Mosse-Brown, the world's oldest woman, dies at age 117 in Jamaica.
Two grandchildren contend that it was the move to the hospital which may have contributed to her demise.
She was taken "against her wishes" from her residence to a medical facility six days prior, they claim and if she had not been moved she would have been still alive today.
"There was nothing much wrong with her," Lelieth Palmer, a granddaughter and Florida resident said.
Palmer who has spent a lot of time with her grandmother in recent years reportedly told the Jamaica Observer:
"She was a little dehydrated and a doctor who came to see her said all she needed was a little potassium… so there was no good reason why they had to take her to any medical facility" on Sept. 9 she explained.
"She did not want to go; but later she begged them not to take her unless they were going to take her back home," Palmer added. "They didn't take her back, and so they took her away from her loved ones and family members and that contributed significantly to her death."
Vernon Davis, another of Moss Brown's grandchildren shared the same sentiments.
"If they didn't take her from her house she would still be alive today," the grieving grandson said.
"They took her away from her comfort zone; took away her freedom; took away her dignity, and take her to a strange place where she had no family and friends and didn't even tell some of us where she was."
According to Russell, he had given assurances to his mother that he would soon visit her at the capital city facility. He explained that she seemed eager for him to visit and he consoled her saying he would make the trip after the weekend. Catch You On The Inside!
To that he said she responded that the heart was willing but her body was weak.
Seemingly in disbelief of her passing Russell said: "Even the doctors can't believe it because they were supposed to release her today."
Born March 10, 1900, Brown's life ended sadly probably due to the fact she was deprived of family in her last hours and another that a family feud caused a split with one group claiming she was not getting the best of care resulting with an alleged kidnapping from her home without notification to other family members.
Moss Brown's distinctive longevity earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records and international acclaim earlier this year in April, following the death of Emma Morano, who was born on Nov. 29, 1899 in the Piedmont region of Italy.
Since that announcement, several government officials on the island as well as the Prime Minister Andrew Holness visited her in the deep rural community of Duanvale, Trelawny where she resided.
Governor General Sir Patrick Allen and Opposition leader Peter Phillips also visited the history-maker who was affectionately called "Aunt V."
As recent as Sept. 3, representatives of the Guinness Book of World Records presented her with a citation and the 2018 edition of their annual record book.
Moss Brown reportedly accepted the award with her usual broad smile and expressed gratitude.
"Jamaica has lost an angel… she was kind, caring, compassionate, and loving," Dunstan Harper a politician who had known Moss Brown for more than a half century said.
"She was everything that love defines," the granddaughter of the first recorded Caribbean super-centenarian punctuated.
In this April 16, 2017 file photo, the world's oldest person Violet Brown poses for a photo at her home in Duanvale, Jamaica. Brown has died in Jamaica at the age of 117 years and 189 days old, on Friday, Sept. 15, at a local hospital. With her death, the Gerontology Research Group lists Nabi Tajima of Japan was the oldest surviving person.

Dealers Boycott to Aid Newsboys
West Side Association Declares Sympathy with Strikers and Will Not Handle Papers.
Vote Almost Unanimous
Members Declare Boys Should Win and Appeal to Public Not to Buy Offending Publications.
Strike Still Spreading.
At two meetings of city newsdealers, held last night it was decided to support the newsboys in their strike against the Evening World and the Evening Journal. Resolutions were adopted pledging the members not to handle the boycotted papers and asking readers not to buy them.
This substantial encouragement to the strikers came at the end of an interesting day. The boys had hoped to obtain a permit from Chief of Police Devery to hold a parade, but they were disappointed. In all other respects the day was auspicious for them.
The proprietor of one of the boycotted papers, although the demand of the strikers for arbitration had been persistently refused, made it known late in the afternoon that he would consent to have the dispute submitted to arbitration. When the boys heard the news they became greatly elated, as they regarded it as strong evidence they had the best of the fight.
FURNISHING PAPERS FREE.
Another incident that caused the lads much joy was the offer of the boycotted papers to furnish papers free to boys who would sell them. About a hundred boys, following the lead of "Kid" Blink, accepted the offer, and filed in to get the papers.
Each boy was loaded with papers with the compliments of the publishers and was sent out into the byways and hedges of Park row. As soon as the boys had obtained all of the papers that were to be had free they began disposing of them. No sordid desire for gain possessed their young hearts. Instead of trying to break the backbone of the strike, the boys entered into a competition to see which could tear up his bundle of free papers first. No official record was kept, but within a few minutes after the supposedly guileless strikers had been given the papers Park row and vicinity was covered with the torn sheets.
Resolutions against the boycotted papers were adopted after several speeches had been made at the meeting of the West Side Newsdealers' Association, held at No. 475 Ninth avenue, last night. Robert Grant, secretary of the association, called the meeting to order, and Benjamin Ackerman was made chairman. Mr. Ackerman and others spoke, explaining that the newsboys were entitled to the sympathy of the newsdealers, even though the dealers would have more to gain by discouraging the newsboys than by encouraging them. It soon became apparent that the association's sympathies were with the strikers, and these resolutions were adopted, by an almost unanimous vote:–
Whereas the newsboys of the city of New York and vicinity are on strike against two evening newspapers, demanding that their price should be reduced from sixty to fifty cents a hundred, and
Whereas this reduction means an increase of four to five cents a day only in their profit, for the reason that the average newsboy hardly sells more than fifty papers an evening, and
Whereas the publishers of these papers could very well afford to sell their papers at fifty cents a hundred before the Spanish-American war, and only for the reason of the increased demand for papers in time of war raised their prices, thereby simply taking advantage of the poor boys, and
Whereas the striking newsboys have, by their resignation, valor and tenacity to principle, shown an example of true unified effort, well worthy of the admiration they have won, therefore,
Resolved, That we extend our most cordial sympathy to these boys;
Resolved, Not to handle the Evening World and Evening Journal until the strike is declared off by them;
Resolved, That we appeal to the readers of the papers in question not to patronize them until the strike is won.
The Brotherhood of Stationers and Newsdealers, at their meeting at No. 19 Manhattan street, also extended their hearty co-operation to the strikers. Adolph Russin, John Sinnenger and others spoke in favor of boycotting the papers against which the boys are fighting m and this resolution was adopted:–
Resolved, That the Brotherhood off Stationers and Newsdealers fully indorse [sic] the demand of the newsboys, which we consider a just one, and we pledge ourselves not to handle the papers they are fighting until a settlement is reached.
MAY HAVE NEW LEADER.
The newsboys were apprehensive again yesterday lest the ones they had honored with the title of "leaders" should undertake to end the strike by private arbitration. "Kid" Blink, by appearing in a new suit of clothes, with straw hat and russet shoes, aroused the envy of many of his colleagues. But when the "Kid" was later arrested and taken to the Oak street station because of his enthusiasm in the cause, he was restored to the favor of the boys. Other leaders, it was reported last night, might attempt to take the strikers into the enemy's country this morning, but if they do, it was said, the effort will fail and some new born leader, probably "Bob Indian" Stone, will be placed at the head of the strike.
The newsboys issued another announcement to the public last night. It read:–
"Special Extra! $50 reward for any newsboy caught selling the boycotted papers. By order Strike Committer, Newsboys' Union."
The strike showed no signs of weakening outside the city yesterday. It expended to Danbury and other places in Connecticut.


Doctors yesterday post-poned heart surgery for former University of Hawai'i football player Nate Jackson, saying that they needed to conduct more health tests, his friends said yesterday.
It was the second time Jackson's heart-valve replacement surgery has been postponed since he was admitted to The Queen's Medical Center on Oct. 24 after suffering complications from a viral infection. No date has been scheduled for Jackson's surgery.
"I know he was supposed to have surgery (yesterday)," said friend Toni Floerke-Politsch, who has organized numerous fund-raisers for Jackson. "They postponed it again. They were hoping to have the surgery last week, but he wasn't strong enough."
Another friend, Susan Kekai, said doctors wanted to ensure that Jackson had no lingering infections before starting surgery. In the meantime, Jackson would be given more time to recuperate and gather strength, Kekai said.
Jackson, a 1998 Wai-'anae High graduate, was a four-year starter at free safety for UH before completing his football eligibility last December. He competed in the Tennessee Titans' training camp before leaving to tend to family matters. Jackson also is a senior outfielder for the UH baseball team.
During the ordeal, Jackson, who had a listed playing weight of 163 pounds, has lost 30 pounds, Floerke-Politsch said. Still, Jackson's spirits remain high, and he is able to walk with assistance and talk with his family and friends, she said.
"Both his mom and his girlfriend said Nate is rearing to get out of the hospital," Floerke-Politsch said. "You know he's feeling better. He's starting to come around. I know he'll get through this."
More than $12,000 has been donated to the "Friends of Nate Jackson Fund" since it was opened on Nov. 5, Floerke-Politsch said. Donations can be made at any First Hawaiian Bank. Jackson does not have health insurance.
Donation tables will be set up at the remaining UH football home games at Aloha Stadium, Floerke-Politsch said.
Also, all proceeds from the Advertiser newspaper lineup/Bowtime sales for the Nov. 23 UH-Cincinnati game at Aloha Stadium will be donated to the fund.
Murphy's Bar & Grill will host a fund-raiser on Nov. 21 from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. UH football coach June Jones, his coaching staff, Vili the Warrior, Nick Rolovich and other former players are scheduled to attend the $50-per-person event.
In addition, a Web page that will list fund-raisers for Jackson is scheduled to be operational tomorrow under the listing: friendsofnatejackson.org.
