10 Most Expensive Motorbikes in The World and How Much They Cost
Letting your hair down and driving on the open road is a practice that has been in existence for decades. Several years ago, they were done with horses but today, the steed of choice is motorbikes. As a result, some of the best and most expensive motorbikes in the world today have been designed to fulfill this purpose in the most stylish and efficient way and there have been quite a few options over the years.
Other than the need to get on the open road and relax, motorbikes also offer a means of attaining adrenaline high and they look cool in movies. There are a few reasons to own a motorbike, and here's a top ten list of the most expensive ones you can own today. Check them out below.
Most Expensive Motorbikes in the World
1. Neiman Marcus Limited Edition Fighter – $11 million
If you are not familiar with motorbikes, you must have heard of brand names like Yamaha, Harley Davidson, and Ducati, all of which have achieved ubiquitous popularity as motorbike brands, and it would be fair to expect one of them to own the most expensive motorbike in the world, but you would be wrong.
That title belongs to Neiman Marcus, a brand that doesn't sound like a motorbike brand (because it is not, it is a luxury department store brand) and it holds pole position with the Neiman Marcus Limited Edition Fighter. When we say limited, we mean limited because only 45 of these bad boys exist in the world and one would set you back $11 million, well above the cost of a majority of the most expensive luxury cars in the world. So, if you do spend that $11 million, what would you be getting?
Well, for one, it has a clockwork design that is beautiful and extraordinary, to say the least, and it tops it off with engineering brilliance such as the use of one single piece of metal for its chassis. And if you happen to be wondering if you would be able to take this $11 million motorbikes out for a spin, the answer is yes. The motorbike has a top speed of 190 mph with a 120ci 45-degree air-cooled V-Twin engine all in a body that comprises of aluminum, carbon fiber and titanium parts.
2. 1949 E90 AJS Porcupine – $7 million
1949 E90 AJS Porcupine
If the Neiman Marcus is way too steep for you, then you might settle for the 1949 E90 AJS Porcupine which costs a more modest $7 million. Not only is it cheaper, but it also has a less elaborate design, if you are looking to own a bike that doesn't draw attention.
The 1949 E90 AJS Porcupine is a historical bike that was made when the brand, AJS could only produce four Porcupine bikes because it faced bankruptcy. However, the brand witnessed a turn-around when Les Graham won the 1949 World Championship with it and making it a piece of history.
Some of the technical details of the bike include DOHC twin engine with horizontal cylinders with Jam pot shocks and Teledraulic race forks. Before this bike made its way into the hand of a very wealthy collector, it spent time at the Coventry National Motorcycle Museum.
3. Ecosse ES1 Spirit – $3.6 million
Ecosse ES1 Spirit
If you are looking to own a bike that looks more like that of a motorsport racer, then the Ecosse ES1 Spirit would be the high-end bike for you, just be prepared to spend $3.6 million to own one. At that price, it is the third most expensive motorbike in the world and its futuristic compact design makes you see why.
Aside from its physical look, which is a work of art, it packs an engine power so powerful that its manufacturer requires would-be owners to take a two-week training before driving away with one, including professional motorbike drivers.
So, what is in the Ecosse ES1 Spirit box? Well, you are looking at a bike with no chassis framework, no rear suspension and a Swingarm attached to the gearbox. It does have a front suspension with twin A-arms, a bespoke transverse inline-Four engine. The bike is designed to mimic the performance of an F1 car and if that doesn't frighten you as well as make you excited, we don't know what will.
4. Hildebrand & Wolfmuller – $3.5 million
Hildebrand & Wolfmuller
The fourth most expensive motorbike in the world is the Hildebrand & Wolfmuller. If you look beyond its design like a bicycle out of a 17th-century Italian film, you will realize this is a bike designed to give you a piece of history. Unlike the other bikes on this list, it is not meant to be driven, but to be admired in a well lit and clean garage, and resold for a profit in a few years.
The collector's item was first made in 1894 by Heinrich and Wilhelm Hildebrand who teamed up with Alois Wolfmuller. The bike operates on an internal combustion engine and does not have a clutch nor a pedal, further proving why it is not meant for an open road.
5. BMS Nehmesis – $3 million
BMS Nehmesis
To be worth the huge price tags that place them among the most expensive motorbikes in the world, designers, and brands have to incorporate something unique into their product and the BMS Nehmesis achieves this by creating a bike made out of 24-karat gold with no side stand. While the 24-karat gold is an ostentatious display meant to entice those who appreciate such overt expressions of wealth, the no side stand is an engineering achievement that makes the bike look like its lying on its belly when it is parked.
And while you might think a bike like this wouldn't be functional, the BMS Nehmesis is, although we doubt you would be willing to put such an investment on the road to attract attention. If you can afford a mansion in a gated community though, then you might just be able to take this $3 million bike for a spin the evenings.
6. Harley Davidson Cosmic Starship – $1.5 million
Harley Davidson Cosmic Starship
It took a while, but we finally got to a motorbike made by one of the most popular motorbike brands in the world, Harley Davidson. And their first entry on the list is the Cosmic Starship worth $1.5 million. While other bikes on this list have an engineering feat and uniqueness as the selling point of their huge price, the Cosmic Starship has its artful design to thank.
A partnership between Harley Davidson and iconic comic existentialist artist, Jack Armstrong, produced this yellow and red design spread all over the Harley V-rod. It is a rare combination of high art and engineering and it sold for $1.5 million. There have been rumors it has been resold twice at $3.5 million and $12 million but so far, its $1.5 million original price remains its official price.
7. Dodge Tomahawk V10 Superbike – $550,000
Dodge Tomahawk V10 Superbike
What would a bike made by a traditional American car company look like? If you imagined something heavyweight like the Dodge Tomahawk V10 Superbike, then you are not that far off. As far as bike designs go, this is one of the strangest looking bikes a person could own, and to own it would mean a significant amount of money because this thing cost $550,000.
This beast was made out of blocks of aluminum and it has a V10 four-stroke Dodge Viper engine, strong enough to power a car. it also has 500 supercharged ponies that make this bike the best fit for anyone willing to go to extreme lengths to prove their masculinity. It came into existence in 2003 and it is believed to be capable of reaching 60 mph in 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 400 mph, although no one has ever been recorded to try so.
8. Legendary British Vintage Black – $400,000
Legendary British Vintage Black
Just behind the Dodge Tomahawk V10 Superbike in this list of most expensive motorbikes in the world is the British Vintage Black, which cost $400,000. It is a limited-edition bike that was first released in 1948, and only 33 of them has ever been made. The bike is the creation of a UK company and has a deep black color that would make anyone look cool.
At the time of release, the bike was considered the fastest production bike in the world, although it has fallen behind in ranking since then. Nevertheless, owning this bad boy is a collector's dream, not just for style but also performance. The bike has a 250cc performance and would cost you at least $400,000 if you ever find someone willing to sell to you.
9. Ecosse FE Ti XX Titanium Series – $300,000
Ecosse FE Ti XX Titanium Series
This is only brand to feature on this list twice, and its second offering is the FE Ti XX Titanium Series that comes in at number nine for the most expensive motorbike in the world for $300,000. After its launch in 2007, its price tag was considered way too much for a bike and it underwent a lot of scrutinies.
Under investigation, its price held up because this bike has a 2,409cc billet aluminum engine that releases 228PS of power to its rear wheel. More so, Ecosse made use of carbon fiber, keeping its weight on the low-end. As for its aesthetics, its leather is the work of iconic Italian leather craftsman, Berluti and its grade 9 titanium exhaust pipes boasts of a ceramic media finish that would wow any bike enthusiast. If you don't own one already, you might have trouble finding one because only 13 of them were produced.

10. Ducati Desmosedici D16RR NCR M16 – $232,500
Ducati Desmosedici D16RR NCR M16
At $232,500, we have come a long way from the first motorbike on our list, but the 10th most expensive motorbike in the world still commands a huge price to a potential collector. The Desmosedici D16RR NCR M16 is the only bike from the popular motorbike brand, Ducati to make this list and it does with an impressive product.
The Desmosedici is completely made out of carbon fiber, making it the lightest Desmosedici in the brand's product catalog and it comes with mechanical parts made out of titanium or avionic-grade aluminum. This motorbike has a 989cc V-four Ducati motor and releases 200 horsepower to its back wheel. If you are a MotoGP racer, this is a luxury bike that you would be proud to drive around as your regular mode of transport.

ASU Volleyball: Sun Devils fall in five sets at Oregon State
Tough one in Corvallis
By Andrew Bell@AndrewBell7 Feb 11, 2021, 5:08pm MST
Share All sharing options for: ASU Volleyball: Sun Devils fall in five sets at Oregon State
Brady Vernon/House of Sparky
Arizona State (1-6) had Oregon State (2-5) on the ropes during the two team's meeting on Friday afternoon in Corvallis.
Up six points at one point and up 2-1 in the match, the Sun Devils were looking to close things out against the Beavers. Oregon State had other plans, though.
Two scoring runs from OSU narrowed the gap, forcing the teams to be knotted up going into the set point. The Beavers took the fourth set, then went on to close things out in the to defeat ASU 3-2.
The game marked the third time this season that the Sun Devils have lost a game in five. In a conference where so many games come down to the wire, Thursday's matchup just fell through ASU's finger tips.
In the opening sets, the Sun Devils got off to a hot start, winning the first and third by scores of 28-26 and 25-18.
As for individual performances, freshman outside hitter Marta Levinska once again put up a strong outing, recording a new career-high in kills with 20 (also a game-high) and had six digs and four blocks.
Sophomore outside hitter Iman Isanovic was right behind her counterpart, also putting up 16 kills and 12 digs for a double-double, while sophomore libero Annika Larson helped set up the offense with 26 digs.
The effort was strong but unfortunately for ASU, one of the issues for the team was returning serves. Oregon State had 12 aces, including four from OSU libero Grace Massey.
Additionally, similar to ASU's underclassmen stars with Levinska and Isanovic, the Beavers had two young standouts of their own, as the freshmen tandem of Mychael Vernon and Aliyah McDonald had big days.
Vernon had a double-double with 18 kills and 16 digs, and McDonald had 15 kills for the Beavers to snatch a victory from ASU in Corvallis.
The Sun Devils will look to bounce back tomorrow afternoon for game two between the two teams.

CD: "Weapons" by Lostprophets
on April 4th, 2012 at 17:54
Posted In: Reviews, Bryanna, CD
It's been a quiet two years since Welsh rockers Lostprophets released The Betrayed regarding new stuff, and everyone has been full of excitement and curiosity to see what Lostprophets are pulling out the bag this time around with their new album, Weapons. With the huge wait and everything being put on a huge pedestal of expectations and hopes, the question everyone wants to know is did it stay up with the expectations or crash and burn?
The front cover is more or less the same as their 3rd studio album, Liberation Transmission, which could be the band's obvious and un-sly representation that they're forgetting the last album, pretending it never happened and returning to the old stuff after The Betrayed got a huge negative reaction.
The whole album seems to be based around their normal idea of "Us against the world" and "Fuck you, this is who we are", but even though it's complete with their expressive lyrics, additional "woahs" and excessive chants from the rest of the band, it doesn't stand out from Lostprophets' other stuff. The expectations for this album were so high that it's not a surprise it hasn't got such a positive reactions yet; yes, it's a great album and it's good to have new material from this much loved band, but it comes across as lacking the effort and passion that Lostprophets usually put into their albums, which follows through as slight disappointment from their dedicated fans. The album as a whole isn't a mixture of "new" or "old"; it's a complete combination, with strong inputs from previous styles yet new hints that are a complete turning point in the long, debatable success of Lostprophets' career.
The strongest songs on the album are those that have cleverly been released as singles; Bring Em Down and Better Off Dead. These songs actually represent the work and passion that the band put into it, with powerful riffs and catchy lyrics that show these guys do actually care, no matter how much they put on they don't. Most of the songs on the album have no doubt they'll be amazing live as they convey that atmosphere that live songs need, although in a studio album, it doesn't achieve the energy and passion that they have when played live.
Overall, the album is fair and which will eventually grow on you, but it's going to take a few shows in their upcoming tour and getting over the disappointment to be able to appreciate how once again, Lostprophets have shown why people love them.

Such a good review, completely agree with it, definetely a grower of an album. The Betrayed was amazing but I guess I can forgive you for that hahaha 😉
Groovy Duck
Fair reveiw, but sorry Lostprophets are only ever gonna sound decent on a record, live their a pile of tosh!! And although it may be a mix of new and old I HIGHLY! doubt any band would wanna discard or forget any record!
Not to keen on this reveiw at all, lacking major musical detail and knowledge!
G.D
I totally agree! Weapons had so much hype about it but when it actually came out it didnt reach my high expectations:/ I picked up about the whole old-logo thing too, but I did actually like The Betrayed aha. Good review.

Fortnite and Travis Scott premiere Astronomical in-game concert
By Carly Soba April 24, 2020
In an immersive and spectacular spectacle, Fortnite players witnessed one of Epic Games' biggest events yet. On Thursday evening, multi-platinum rapper Travis Scott held his "Astronomical" concert for Fortnite players everywhere, premiering his brand new track "The Scotts." Fans can catch the "other-worldly" experience from April 23 – 25.
The 10-minute concert was an exciting light show, featuring a giant holographic Travis Scott. The show began at 7:05 p.m. EST on April 23 with "SICKO MODE" as the introduction song. Players all over the area gathered to view the light show as a giant speaker blew up and blasted everyone far from the stage. Right after, Travis appeared to perform. Players were able to walk around while viewing the neon visual effects on the sky.
Players were then able to jump and float around as if on a trampoline. As the sky turned from light blue to pink, Travis grabbed two stars from the sky and smacked them together, instantly blasting everyone into a different scene. Then the next song, "Stargazing," began.
The rest of the concert allowed the player to immerse themselves as an intergalactic traveler, a diver, and more. From neon skeletal suits to giant neon jellyfish, this concert had players teleporting from one scene to another.
Everyone will be able to get a chance to watch the vibrant show between now and April 25. The remaining showtimes go as follows:
Saturday, April 25: 12 a.m. EDT
Saturday, April 25: 6 p.m. EDT
Here is the full tracklist of the songs played during the event:
"SICKO MODE" Feat. Drake
"Highest in the Room"
"The Scotts" feat. Kid Cudi
Plenty of popular streamers such as Imane "Pokimane" Anys, Tyler "Ninja" Blevins, Ali "Myth" Kabbani, and more watched the concert. Pokimane said the concert is "the best in-game event yet." Myth, on the other hand, gave everyone a clip of their excitement during the show.

Tour de France: Stage 21 finish line quotes
Froome, Greipel, Sagan, Yates, Majka and more
Adam Yates, Chris Froome, Peter Sagan and Rafal Majka
Chris Froome (Team Sky) - 2016 Tour de France champion
"To my teammates and support team this is your yellow jersey. I wouldn't be standing here if it wasn't for your commitment. A massive thank you to Dave Brailsford and my coach Tim Kerrison. This is one special team and I'm so proud to be part of it. To Michelle my wife and my son Kellan, your love and support make everything possible. Kellan I dedicate this victory to you."
"This Tour has taken place against the backdrop of the terrible events in Nice and we pay our respects once again to those who lost their lives. Of course these events put sport into perspective but they also show why the values of sport are so important to free society. We all love the Tour de France because it's unpredictable but we love the Tour more for what stays the same – the passion of the fans for every nation, the beauty of the French countryside and the bonds of friendship created through sport. These things will never change."
Andre Greipel (Lotto Soudal) - Tour de France stage 21 winner
"I can't describe it. I'm just super proud of what we've achieved today. I've raced for three weeks for that. The team kept believing in me. We've tried many times and never could succeed, now we won two stages with Thomas De Gendt [on Ventoux] and now me on the Champs Elysees.
"We had a good plan this morning, with the headwind I just tried to stay calm to save energy. Once we hit the front, we were one guy too short, so I chose the wheel of Kristoff which was the best today. I'm happy I could finish it off and get another Tour de France stage win."
Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) - points classification winner
"My best memories of this Tour? There are too many: the three stage wins, the great work of the team and tonight's party in Paris. We're all very happy. The Olympic Games are next for me. I'll go back to the roots [mountain biking]."
Adam Yates (Orica-BikeExchange) - best young rider
"It's a big honour to be here. On TV it might look like an easy stage but it wasn't. After three week, nothing has changed. I'm the same. I live it day by day. I'm not thinking of the future."
Rafal Majka (Tinkoff) - mountains classification winner
"After five years, it's hard to say goodbye to the team but we have done our best: the top 10 with Roman [Kreuziger], Peter's jersey and mine. That's my second one but not my last one. We've done a great team work. It's like if it was my first time. I'm happy, especially after the back luck we had at the beginning. Cycling is a very hard sport, particularly mentally. You have to be very strong."
Steven De Jongh (Tinkoff directeur sportif)
"It was a good Tour, but of course it was very unfortunate we lost Alberto [Contador], actually after two stages he wasn't the same. The other boys did well, especially Peter [Sagan], he was showing himself as a true champion. Yesterday he helped out Roman [Kreuziger] to get into the top 10 and also helped Rafal [Majka] to go into the decisive break to get into the polka dot jersey. He was an amazing teammate.
"We are going to leave with very good memories of the TInkoff team, we showed it's still a good team. We leave with a very good feeling."
Richie Porte (BMC Racing) - fifth place overall
"Fifth place, although a bit bittersweet, is a great result. I'll always think about what could have been with the time loss on stage 2, but it makes me even more hungry to back and try and win the yellow jersey. I had a great Tour, I climbed really well, and also had a bit of bad luck. I'm looking forward to coming back and giving it another shot with BMC Racing Team. I had great support from my teammates and all in all, it was a great experience."

Suspect Citizens offers the most comprehensive look to date at the most common form of police-citizen interactions, the routine traffic stop. Throughout the war on crime, police agencies have used traffic stops to search drivers suspected of carrying contraband. From the beginning, police agencies made it clear that very large numbers of police stops would have to occur before an officer might interdict a significant drug shipment. Unstated in that calculation was that many Americans would be subjected to police investigations so that a small number of high-level offenders might be found. The key element in this strategy, which kept it hidden from widespread public scrutiny, was that middle-class white Americans were largely exempt from its consequences. Tracking these police practices down to the officer level, Suspect Citizens documents the extreme rarity of drug busts and reveals sustained and troubling disparities in how racial groups are treated.

Singer Ariana Grande has recently blown up the media by releasing hit songs one by one, all with meaningful lyrics and hidden meanings behind each line. Her latest song, "7 Rings," released Jan. 18, tells a story of friendship and has been described as a "thank you" song to her friends.
"7 Rings" differs from Grande's previous songs because it is specifically about her friendship with her close friends, instead of being a thank you song to her ex-boyfriends. Many lyrics reference Grande's friends and events she's had with them, such as buying them all engagement rings from Tiffany & Co. after calling off her engagement to comedian Pete Davidson, and retail therapy with her friends.
Grande's song has also faced a major setback, with many singers such as Soulja Boy, Princess Nokia, 2 Chainz and Notorious B.I.G. coming forward and claiming Grande stole some of their lyrics or referenced them somehow in her music video for the song. Grande's lyrics do reference some of these artists, but in an inconspicuous way since they are not exactly the same.
Grande has also faced controversy regarding racism, with many critics saying she has a "blaccent" and is a "little white black girl." The line "You like my hair? Gee, thanks, just bought it" from "7 Rings" was widely talked about since many people thought it was racist and referred to a weave, though Grande later revealed that she was referring to her hair extensions from her iconic ponytail.
The song debuted at number one on the worldwide iTunes chart and later reached number one on the US iTunes chart. Despite the criticism that Grande has faced, the new song has been a hit and easily became many fans favorite songs (me included). "7 Rings" will join the other hit pop songs that Grande has released to combine and create a much anticipated album coming out Feb. 8, 2019.

You might be so used to the HDMI cable that you haven't imagined the possibility of a wireless conference room until you accidentally trip over a cable.
You inevitably come across ClickShare and QuattroPod, powered by EZCast Pro.
We'll share our knowledge in the strengths and weaknesses of each so you can stop worrying and get back to productive meetings.
And both excel in helping conference rooms reduce the need of HDMI cables to make presentations.
QuattroPod's RJ-45 port for Ethernet connection as fallback for weak Wi-Fi environment.
QuattroPod has extra Ethernet port as fallback for conference settings with weak Wi-Fi networks, so presentations can still be shared across Ethernet network.
ClickShare's strength lies in the simplicity of screen sharing from laptops.
The "Button" is a Wi-Fi transmitter that requires only one USB cable to receive power and screen content from one laptop.
The single cable architecture makes it extremely easy to plug and play to a laptop and screen cast in minutes.
You will be prompted to install the ClickShare application the first time you use ClickShare Button.
But after that, screen sharing is as easy as a click.
One for USB power, the other is HDMI for screen content.
Making it perfect for machines that do not have administrative privileges.
Its mobile compatibility is not so simple, as it requires additional Android and iPhone apps to discover the receiver on the Wi-Fi network before screen mirroring.
QuattroPod's strength in cross platform compatibility means screen sharing for both laptops and mobile devices are as easy as plug and play.
Screen casting your mobile phones with plug and play.
This means any guest coming to the conference can make wireless presentations easily, without downloading additional apps.
QuattroPod has inherited the technological edge in video streaming and screen casting.
This means when you want to share videos in your wireless presentations, the results are smooth with synchronised audio and video.
Any video presentation would seem choppy with out of sync audio.
As with running any productive meeting, a moderator is required to keep discussions on topic and decisions useful.
Therefore the QuattroPod contains one of the best moderating functions, Host Control, for supervising presentations and keeping the meeting progress smoothly.
Not every model of the ClickShare line has moderation function.
Only the most expensive version, CSE-800 that costs more than USD 4,700, can moderate meetings.
For a system with one third the price of ClickShare CSE-800, QuattroPod has all the functions necessary for effective and productive meetings.
What other technologies do you use to improve your conference rooms? Please let us know in the comments below.


We've now been at this for about 6 and a half months and I had no idea where this was going when I started. It all began as kind of a whim and because of a few complaints from friends on Facebook saying all I ever did was post pics of food (all said in a kidding way….I think). I had no idea how to run a blog, codes needed, or the work/fun invoved. We are now approaching 18,00 views, we have 62 FB followers, 342 followers on Foodbuzz and 375 people receiving e-mails notifications and have been viewed in 28 countries! We've received the Leibster Award, the Versatile Blog Award and the Kreative Blogger Award as well as being tagged in Food Blog Tag.
So where are we going from here? Well, we'll continue to post up blogs, researching new and exciting things to cook (Heck, maybe I'll even whip up some kind of dessert for once). I've been looking into photography and trying to learn how to take better pictures. I'd like to get some software for editing pictures as well as learning more about my camera. Been looking into building a light box (Mrs. G is gonna love that one (sarcasm) ) I recently signed up for The Crazy Cooking Challenge, where once a month we are given a secret ingredient and are expected to create a meal out of it. That should be fun. Honestly, I don't know where we are going, but I hope you all stick around for the journey. Should be fun. More 'Cue in 2000 and One Two!
Been awhile since I updated this page at all, so I thought I would share some things that are going on with us. Back on May 27th, I was "tentatively" diagnosed with Type II diabetes. I say "tentatively" because I went in to the doctor and they did a blood glucose test although I had not officially been fasting. So a week later, I went and saw a specialist and sure enough I have it. This is something I am going to fight tooth and nail over. Serious diet modifications and exercising. That's why you may have noticed some of the recent recipes tagged "Diabetic Friendly" and include nutritional info when I can find it. As of yesterday, I have brought my fasting blood glucose down to 106. Still a bit high. More work to be done. I plan on "Wowing" the doc when I go back to see him on the 10th. So we're still cooking up a storm here and trying to bring you new and exciting cooks. Some of them just might be a bit healthier for you. Hope you enjoy this new spin on cooking. As always, thanks for checking in and we hope you will stick around for the journey.
Mr. Griffin; I have been politely stalking your blog since I read of the Swamp Balls… and after you should me how to roll and smoke fatties… I was hooked.
Tonight, I stole yet another page of your cookbook and went after the BGE Meatloaf. Now…I consider myself to be somewhat of a Meatloaf savant…. and tackled this cook with enthusiasm. It went well… I won't bore you with the details… I will tell you I added some Ghost Pepper to the sauce, which provided some interesting kick! It turned out well.
Just wanted to thank you for sharing your ideas and recipes… and your presentation is very well done.
Sending you a pic on the egghead forum… just for giggles.
Thanks again, and keep cooking!
Thanks, JD. Glad it went well and glad I could help out. I started this blog for two reasons A)So I could keep track of my cooks and repeat them again (also,it's easy to pull up on my phone if I'm at the store with no list of what I need) and 2)To help others out and possible inspire them. So your message makes me feel like I am doing that successfully, although I am not an expert by far.
I am awarding you a Liebster Award….check my post from today….
I enjoy your blog, alot.
Wow, just found your blog via comments on Juanita's Cocina and Zest Bite. We have a "vintage" hibachi pot that we love so I am so glad I found your site!
Glad to have you along. Would love to see some pictures of your hibachi pot. I went over to your site and poked around for a few minutes. I'll be following you and going through your blog more when I have time.
Good afternoon good sir. I hope this reply finds you well. I believe I am exactly where you were when you decided to start your blog. I am there! I have cooked for many of my friends and had a blast at the Mountain Eggfest in Hoawassee, Georgia. I just signed up for the 2012 eggfest. I have a large Big Green Egg, the cameras, what I like to think are some interesting and tasty recipes and I have a computer. What I don't have is the knowledge to take those things and turn them into what you have here. I have some friends with great computer skills, but I would really like to teach myself. Might you have any thoughts or tips when it comes to creating something like this? Thank you kindly in advance.
You first need a site to host your blog. I went with wordpress. Its a free site. Once you sign up your blog, you just have to play around with it to figure out how it works. Pretty easy to do. Good luck.
Thank you very much. I will head that way now.
Your blog looks great! And to find so many recipes great for grilling! Perfect blog find for the summer months! Thanks for friending me on foodbuzz!!
Found your site through another blog and just subscribed to your feed. Can't wait to see what else you're making!

Thanks for following my blog… looks like I'm following in your footsteps. Would love to pick your brain as I don't know what I'm getting into but would love to connect. Great site.
I'm all for following anybody who likes bbq and grilling half as much as me, and with a blog name like bbq365 how could I not follow you? I got your e-mail yesterday. Sorry I haven't responded yet, but when I get home I pretty much put all that on hold. I'll e-mail you back, but feel free to ask any questions you may have. I'll help if I can, but I've only been doing this since last August. Can't wait to check out your site more.
Can't wait to check out your site more, thanks for taking the time to come and visit mine.
Love the step by step bbq recipes!
Thank you. We are in Texas, Dallas to be specific. Me and the Mrs actually grew up down in Corpus Christi (and are trying to get back there). We do a lot of BBQ.
Pictures are something I am always trying to work on, but I recently realized that Mrs. G is a better photographer so I've been handing the camera over to her when she is available. I do the editing of the pics, though.
Love to find new BBQ ideas and sauce. Thanks for following my blog and I look forward to trying some of your recipes.
Very excited to have you join the followers of Shut Up & Cook. You are the 100th! Clearly worth a prize or something. Are you attending BlogHer Food this weekend in Seattle? If so, hope to meet you!
No, that's a bit far. We're done here in Dallas. Have a good time, though.
Thanks! Supre interesting…I'd highly recommend if it ever comes your way!

We Texans and former Aussies love our BBQ!!!
We think your desserts look AMAZING!
Thank you very much. Please check out my post from today on stuffed zucchini boats. I used meat, but it could easily be omitted to make a vegetarian version.
Jason thanks for the blog from a fellow egger, I really enjoy your site, very informative. In the picture above I see someone in an LSU visor. Was this picture taken at a tailgate somewhere. I ask because I am an avid tailgater(President and founding member of The Tailgatin'Tigers LSU tailgate club)we regularly bring the Egg to Death Valley during football season.
Thank you Todd for taking the time to visit my site and comment on it. That picture was actually taken at the 2011 Plano Outlaw Eggfest. Unfortunately, I do not know who that was. I didn't get to meet everybody who attended nor do I remember all the people I met.
Killer job on this site, Jason! Barbeque is in my soul, so I can very much appreciate the lengths you go to to make these awesome dishes. Keep up the great work on the blog – it's inspiring!
Thank you very much. I'm just trying to share and pass on some of the things I've learned over the years. I'm glad I can inspire you. That means a lot to me.
Popping the ol' blog cherry with this post, nice site man. Sould I take the mini-egg to the Hill Country when we go in October so we can mess around with it? Lookin forward to the trip.
Of course you should. Looking forward to it.
Thanks for the follow and wow, you've set the bar really high! I really enjoy reading through your blog and cannot wait to fire up the Egg and try these recipes out.
I'm always on the look out for fellow Eggheads. There is so much we can learn from each other. I'll be watching your site to see what you come up with.
i LOVE LOVE LOVE this blog… just stumbled upon it and now its in my "favorites"….. keep up the good work !!! from a NY'er who has Texas on her bucket list!!!
Thank you for taking the time to visit and commenting, it means a lot. Hope you find something that fills that "Texas" need.
Thanks for following my blog. I hope you enjoy trying out some of the recipes and please let me know how they turn out for you. I love the picture on your home page. The food looks delicious!
I've nominated your blog for the Inspiring Blog Award! Check out my post (http://cookingwithcorinna.wordpress.com/2012/12/16/inspiring-blog-award/) for details.
We're doing a roundup of stuffed meats, and would love to feature yours! We will include a photo from your blog, and a link to your recipe, but not the recipe itself. Please let me know if this is okay with you!
That would be awesome. Which one did you have in mind? Can you let me know when you do this?
Thanks for checking out and following my blog! I hope you find some recipes on my blog that you can easily recreate for yourself as well. I look forward to following your blog in the future as well!
Yep, we're neighbors. I'll have to go check them out, thanks for the suggestion.
LOVE IT !!! Keep up the good work Sir !!
hey man you think i can get the spread sheet for the sausage recipes.
Looks like no one has posted here for a bit…just stumbled onto your blog…Glorious sir! I see your most current item being worked on is the homemade bacon from Charcuterie. Just got done with 3 full pork bellies, grossing 40.5 pounds for the holidays. My best word of advice is to vacuum seal the belly while you're curing. The first few times I tried in a zip lock bag the meat "browned" and "greyed" after a week. Keeping it in a vacuum sealed bag, it comes out a beautiful deep red color. Smoke it on the BGE to an internal temp of 150 with a little shag bark hickory and you're golden. I'll be creeping around your blog some more!
Thanks for stopping by JJ and thanks for the advice. I will definitely vacuum seal the bellies next time per your advice. I'm actually going to cold smoke the bacon rather than hot smoke it, so I'm not shooting for an internal temperature. I figure once its sliced and fried up it will be cooked through. Just going on advice I've picked up on the Egghead forum. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some recipes that you would like to try. Let me know what you think.
I just came across your blog as I was searching for wing recipes. As I am looking at the variety of tasty opportunities that you suggest, I see that you cook on the BGE – my obsession. Then I see you're in Texas ( I live in Houston.). Then I see the Sic 'em Bears. My son is a sophomore at Baylor. We love it almost as much as he does. So, thanks for coming into my cyber life. I look forward to trying out your recipes. Sic 'em from a Florida Gator transplant to Texas.
Sounds like we have a lot in common. Very cool. Hope you try some of the recipes out and that you enjoy them. LMK what you think.
Love to use my egg and was diagnosed with type 2. Would love to get up with fellow Evers.
Sorry to hear about the type 2. It is controllable with diet and exercise. Just takes some willpower. Not sure what you mean by Evers? Eggers?

The Department for Education has advised that there is a shortage of EpiPen and EpiPen Junior, which is likely to continue for the rest of the year. It has advised that this will lead to some pupils using different adrenaline auto-injectors or carrying fewer devices than they normally do. If pupils normally require access to two devices while at school, the DfE advises that during the shortage, one personal device could be left at school, if the school holds a back-up (non-personal) device. Should a case of anaphylaxis occur and two devices be required the personal device should be administered immediately, and the non-personal device can be administered after 5 minutes if the pupil does not improve while emergency care is on route.
Please read the DfE advice and circulate to members and schools in your area.
Mary Bousted and I have written to His Excellency Mr Julian Braithwaite, Ambassador and Permanent Representative, UK Mission to the UN and Other International Organisations in Geneva regarding the human rights abuses of children and families seeking asylum in the United States. We have called on the Ambassador to hold President Trump's administration to account and protect the rights and futures of these families. Read the letter here.
The Cuba Solidarity Campaign, Music Fund for Cuba, and the NEU-NUT Section are collecting instruments to support music education in Cuba. Music is hugely important in Cuba, but the US blockade has limited the availability of instruments and resources. You can help by donating new and used instruments to the appeal. Find out more here. You are also encouraged to affiliate, both individually and as a division/association, to the Cuba Solidarity Campaign. Please affiliate online here or contact Ollie Hopkins for details.
This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming social solidarity activists from Greece to Hamilton House, organised through the Greece Solidarity Campaign. The delegation spoke of their work with solidarity schools and clinics, focused on supporting education and opportunities for all. The Union also welcomed Chief Mandla Mandela, member of the South Africa Parliament and grandson of Nelson Mandela, who spoke about South Africa's support for the Palestinian people. Chief Mandela is on a delegation organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and a full report of his visit can be read here.
Stand Up To Racism (SUTR) have organised a demonstration in London to oppose a demo organised by the racist 'Democratic' Football Lads Alliance (DFLA).
SUTR will be assembling at Old Palace Yard, Westminster, at 1pm. We know that members will wish to join this demonstration and we would encourage them to do so in groups – members do need to be aware that the DFLA tactics can be, frankly, thuggish and it would be irresponsible if we did not prepare members for this.
Further information can be found here and on the event Facebook group.
A new report, released on Sunday by the Education Policy Institute, showed that referrals to CAMHS have jumped by 26% in five years. Read my full comment here, which was quoted by the Morning Star, Metro, Northern Echo, Press Association and TES.
In other news, we commented on UTCs in TES, FE Week and the Independent, and we were quoted widely by Press Association (40+ regional titles) as part of a data story inspired by the recent Government stats on phonics. Criticism of the DfE's own misuse of stats continued this week, with our comment featuring in this TES story. Mary also commented on yet more money being squandered on failed free school projects (Schools Week), and uses of money by Schools Company Trust (also Schools Week).
A major speech from Amanda Spielman this week set out a new focus for school inspections. Our press release is here and this was quoted by the Independent and Education Executive.
Mary debated the future of Ofsted with Steve Mastin of the Conservative Education Society, in the most recent issue of Schools Week. You can read it online here.

Hello and welcome to June's addition off tax talk.
My name is Sarah Ghaffari, and I'm a technical manager in the tax faculty.
On with Me Today I have Frank ask you drink head of tax on.
We are joined by Jill Spring.
Bet.
Hi, Jill.
Jill is chairman of our Partition of Tax Committee on She's also tax partner actor MGR.
Weston K, which is a firm of chartered accountants based in London.
So it's lovely to have you Thank you for coming in to see a pleasure.
We've got lots of things to talk about today.
It's been a busy month for tax, but also been quite busy for the tax faculty itself.
Had a little bit of a relaunch.
Well, we've got some new office holders.
We had our A GM in May.
We now have a new channel.
The tax back to Mary Mom.
Freeze on.
We have from wrong shark who's a decorative chairman who's of three.
Partner firm up in North London.
Thing I do.
I'm also Rebecca.
Benny Worth has come back as a vice chairman.
Toe particular member service is So that's how you tax on dhe.
I'm sure everybody knows this, but we also have a tax.
Former chairman of the tax man Lachlan has got the top job off the ice.
CW president from last week.
Twitter profiles last Actually, Andi Yes, he said, it's the biggest day of my professional career.
Sick of things did seem to think this morning.
No todo Yeah, So it's all change.
Well deserved change.
Okay, with a little bit more on the tax taxi later Because we've also got a new website to tell you about.
But aunt attacks, we thought First of all, we just touch on the sort of long awaited consultation off payroll working in the private sector which was published on the 18th of May Onda.
We are looking for comments from members which are given on the 10th of August.
But obviously the sooner the better.
That would be great, eh?
So the government's looking at how to tackle non compliance in the private sector, something that they have, I suppose, struggled to really get a grip off in the last few years or so.
We know that they've been reformed in the public sector and so that's one of the options is to extend those rules.
But there's a couple of other options as well in the consultation additional record keeping for engages and also more due diligence work before the work starts and ensuring that you've secured your supply chain Your labor supply chain, both of which, to me, seems quite a lot of extra administration and practically maybe unlikely.
You think the chances although they might go down those because they almost like afterthoughts.
Yeah, and in the consultation document, it does say government preferred option is to extend it.
I think we would agree that you can't have separate rules for public sector and private sector, but we really need the public sector rules to be working.
General, you've had a few e mails and inquiries on this.
Yes, Yes, I've bean helping a client who is a TV presenter.
Um, on DDE, he is covered by the, uh well, the revenue, trying to say that he's coming by our 35.
And so I've bean heavily engaged in some discussions with the revenue which the three immense resources out.
Two guys flew down from Glasgow for an interview with the kind They then flew down a different day to interview one of the TV companies he works for on.
I think they came down to another TV company as well.
On DDE.
It was just ridiculous.
And they the guys who came down it down, didn't see not au fait with the nuances of status rules.
And so we've been talking a little bit about the tool on the website check Employment Status Tool.
Yes, you go through a series of questions.
Don't Unit spits out whether you are employed yourself employment and finding well, I've never actually used it.
I've talked to people because they say the BBC are covered.
And so I have a chapped with people from BBC about how they're finding.
I know they're really struggling with it because they know tax on.
They know that it's not accurate.
And so I had a look at it myself.
It's It looks like it's been designed by committee on.
People have shoehorned in things, but they, you know, you might be able to say yes or no to a question.
But then they add a little bit text, which means it actually really on.
You don't have the option of saying none of these apply.
So you're Dragoon, your led down a pathway which may not be right.
So if they try and force you to use that tool and that is, well, it's just roam.
I tried putting in some examples of cunts who I know are definitely self employed, and it just came out at the end with We can't determine your status contractors.
So I don't think the revenue will have the resources.
If they wheel it out to everybody, they won't have the resources to look at this.
So what's gonna happen in good time?
Quite interesting.
I have been a few round tables with very professional bodies or business groups on DSO one already.
It seems as though HMRC aren't aware of the issues with the tool and they are asking for evidence, evidence, evidence.
So really, you know, we we need to get evidence in, and that's when you know our listeners and our members are really valuable because they will have that practical evidence.
But the thing is that I was admittedly looking at it on my iPad, but you can't print off all of your answers to review all in one go, you seem to be able to do it just by page, which isn't what they normally do anyway.
But, you know, that way you can say yes and you can't print off the answer.
You know the questions so you can't see well, whether you want Susie.
Frank were writing a letter with drafting a letter.
At the moment, aren't we about all of the public sector nuances?
Do you want to just touch on a couple of the others?
We've had the accounting, the accounting for the I.
35 which I know I've been working on a lot with you, but we've that's got a little bit further now, hasn't it?
The parenting up, it's been ready.
What we've raised it with how financial reporting faculty and also without you.
Marcie, there's obviously been concerned about If, actually should you do it, that's all gross And the compass accounts and hmrc guidance at the moment is saying the net approach.
So I think we clearly need to resolve that with the Farsi so that those conversations owns, as I understand it to still ongoing, Yes, but hopefully that guidance will be that effectively, I think consistency of approach potentially gross or net either Could do.
But you gotta be consistent.
Think is where we want t get to on.
I think that, you know, we'll see what support support that.
And then just linking this back because we're talking about a specific part of the employment issues.
I suppose we're just looking at the i r 35 PFCs and that sort of thing.
But we've got the wider issue.
Haven't we have the whole employment rights and on tape, I mean, the tailor review, of course, was published July last year on the government responded to it in February on, then launched four consultations of their own.
So employment status and enforcement of employment rights, agency workers and transparency on Goes will close now.
So with absolute submitted comments, all those But the big news this morning.
Yeah, looks like the Supreme Court have given that judgment in the Pimlico plumbers, which is an employment law case.
But it looks like Pimlico plumbers, the people who was arguing that they were workers of one unanimously, apparently not.
They're not self employed.
So another sort of brick in seemingly that's just that's just the employment element, not tax law.
Side of things.
Well, there's be no underemployment.
The employment law infection.
You could have three status is, of course, a tax on.
It's up for debate ist where we take one was in the future.
But Supreme Court has just said that these people were not self employed for employment law purposes.
Okay, well, we got lots of work to do on that one.
I think starting with our letter that we are writing to government outline again issues that we've got in public Sector One consultation that we have responded to the V A T registration threshold, which came off the back of the O.
T s report that must have been last year Now looking at whether it's at the right level or it should be lowered or increase.
We did a short survey.
Didn't say yes, we did.
Well, the government issued a call for evidence on it on.
We did do some medical survey ourselves.
I mean, it's not statistically past, but actually it was pretty consistent with what we've said in our response to the OT ESAs well, which on statistics as I remember were that half of the respondents thought that actually, the fact my shoulder be increase about 1/3 thought it was fine as it is, about six thought it should be lowered, and that was actually quite consistent with what we said last year.
So I think overall, you know the message coming out of it is that the V a t the registration fresher is actually a major simplification for small businesses and started 5 5000 It was 1973 73 Wait today, fat indexed up.
It would be about 50,000.
But back in the 1992 93 the government decided T actually increases significantly.
A simplification for you have our members, by and large, is that it really?
Still, in fact, in many ways it holds more than I did them because of get more increases in the legislation.
And I think we were talking Joe well, me about this kind of fear that if it isn't lowered the locations elsewhere, yes, the making tax digital it's linked to the V A.
T is linked to about threshold.
So if it's lowered, presumably that means they would need to extend that to more people.
So then or that would undo all the good we did getting them to delay it.
I think that's entirely right.
You know, double whammy of then I think not only making touched digital, but potentially keeping digital records.
So for small businesses hitting you in the face, financial implications for the businesses that may be, at the moment are managing the trade.
You know, that's a comfort level without having to register.
All right.
Let's cover the next big one, If that's okay.
I think Frank employee benefit trusts have been sort of simmering away in the background.
I did actually see une mail come around from hmrc about their talking points webinars about the settlements and paying them paying the loan charge.
Do you want to just remind us How do you feel drawn the short straw on this one, Sarah Kiss.
I would probably have Mr Bickley here talking about it, but yes, I mean, it's been kicking around for a long time, isn't as an issue.
I mean, I think it's first really started us in the eighties and then clearly in the nineties, we started to sort of see it happening in a big way.
So on that we've had various tax cases on it.
In particular, we had the landmark Rangers decision Supreme Court decision last year back in July, where effectively they came up with them, almost bowled a googly, so to speak that they thought that these payments when they even put into the trust, were in respect of employment and shit about p a y deducted, which wasn't feel like where the cases were starting from.
But I think you know, the real problem coming up against here is that we've got the finance number two act night 2017 last year.
So we could now get this employee laden charge up, which is potentially really draconian.
So what if you fact, we have a loan outstanding at the sixth of April 2019 then effectually.
The benefit of that is going to be bought into tax.
But the real sting in the tail is that it's going to apply in relation to any loan you've had.
Outstanding post six of April 1999.
So 20 years is potentially going to be born into tax comes six of April 2019.
I mean, that is a major.
There's been a lot of fuel Roary about Is it a retrospective?
So But the fact is, you know, we've got the rules, so it's going to be a major problem for a lot of people.
So, as you said, sir, I mean, what a team to get out of it on dhe the options.
Firstly, I think our that h.
Marcie are trying to encourage people to settle.
So a CE you mentioned, you know, that there's a settlement effects the opportunity out there, which has at last week I mean, the deadline of Richard was the third most of mine, but they've actually extended to the charity of September.
But I'm not sure quite what one reason to that.
But hopefully maybe this is major for a lot of people on.
I think people are just waking up to it.
So I think h.
Marcie it came to try and get settlements thing, and I think they want to get closure on leave on.
So people do need to look at the settlement opportunity on and see what they can do.
Well, I was.
The other thing is, you know you can repay the lane before the six of April 2 2019.
If you do that, then I think we think you should be okay.
But I think there's still question marks about, particularly after Rangers about where they do get finality on.
So I think there's question marks still there, and I was.
The other thing is, if you know, if you got the loan, then comes six of April.
Potentially, you need Thio.
So we're already seeing a lot of member concerns can through about this.
So I think we'll probably do need toe, have a very close look at it.
But I think people are really going to need to look very carefully at the various options because each case will be different and doing nothing is just not an option.
Well, I mean, everywhere you look, you can't just do nothing.
I mean, you've got step.
The government have now made it abundantly clear that these sorts of arrangements are beyond the pale, and you can't just ignore it.
So we might be looking to do thinking in that space again.
We did a lot of work on the consultations, and the draft legislation didn't way, but we might be we might revisit and see what we've got on our on our new website way did.
But I think we're now wants to move to the problems of implementation.
And I would just say I think hmrc are very keen to try and settle, and I have talked a lot about time to pay on particularly it's a whole range of people went into these, I think, from the people who knew exactly what they were doing to people who were almost forced into the war, didn't realize eso think hmrc alive two different categories of people.
But I think that's probably gonna be a lot to do before the sixth of April 2019.
So I think we will be reviewing it, quite what we might.
Significant data is an MTV judges Brexit.
Why well, onto happier new.
But we just mentioned one of them.
Should we talk about making tax digital way?
Do you love it?
Don't wait.
I think we should probably mention it.
So in terms of where we are, the pilots are ongoing for income tax and theeighty.
There's about 20 software developers in the income tax pilot, so you might say that's not as many as we might have thought.
But we have got well, you know that's not coming in until 2020 the earliest there are or software products listed now on golf dot UK, so people can start looking at what's out there.
That's absolute for Iris on Dhe Rhino.
And the pilot has also just been extended to those who have property income.
So mammals can now join the pilot as well as a self employed.
So that's where we are with income tax on the V, A t side of things that one is not in public beater testing just yet.
I know as a more number off developers are in the private testing with HMRC, but I suppose we know that spreadsheets are unacceptable.
We're expecting to see this in the back.
Notice the undated that notice when we get a bit more on that.
But we know that spreadsheets will be okay.
Um, and we know that some bridging software to take the data almost make it cloud based and send it directly to HMRC will be made available by software developers.
So for V a.
I think the thinking is that the majority who are on.
The spreadsheets will continue to do that, but obviously the messages to get on board, to try and be digital and to think about how your practice operates on your client's operate.
But in the time frame we have spreadsheets could be a useful, short term, medium term solution.
That sounds one thing we actually did learn last week when we met with our software advisory group, which is the professional body software developers and HMRC.
There's a bit of a revelation about the business tax account because, as I understand, agents can have access.
Do you have access to the business tax account?
But even represented clients will need to act times going there themselves.
Um, if they're managing their agents, if they need to confirm personal information, those sorts of things that won't be done outside via email, that will be done through the business tax account.
And it's not that easy to set one off.
Well, no, I Yeah, some clients have difficulty getting into i t issues on dhe.
We found a great deal of difficulty, say, getting clients set up for a Ted.
I mean, some of those admittedly are overseas and they're not used to UK systems, but it has bean really difficult.
No, we can't see what they can see, So we can't If the revenue critic help by mirroring the screen so we could say, Well, you should.


It's a harsh truth, but truth nonetheless: when a foreclosure sale doesn't cover a borrower's debt, the lender can go after the borrower -- personally -- for the amount due on the property. And while courts might not like it, they can't ignore the lender's prerogative.
So writes Stephen J. Butler in the latest ISBA Commercial Banking, Collections, and Bankruptcy newsletter. Read his article, which discusses the legal standard for entering a deficiency judgment and "address[es] several of the common roadblocks thrown up by courts in denying such judgments [and]...the legal arguments that should be made to overcome these roadblocks."

Home » General Information » Featured Innovations » Hyperspectral Imaging & Cancer Detection
How Might NASA and Satellite Imaging Improve Cancer Detection?
A new imaging technology originally designed for NASA satellite imaging and remote sensing is now revolutionizing the world of cancer detection and image-guided surgery. Hyperspectral imaging collects information using a camera to measure the electromagnetic spectral signals from a given object like a tumor. Individual pixels within the image have different electromagnetic spectrums. Individual pixels provide explicit spectral information in real time, providing detailed information on the object being imaged.
Hyperspectral imaging would allow doctors to have a high resolution image of a patient body and allow them to identify cancer earlier than current technologies. Additionally, it can be applied in image-guided surgery, allowing a surgeon to determine if residual tumor remains within a patient after tumor resection. Both of these applications would prevent further tumor growth within patients and reduce mortality rates by early detection and precision medicine.
MRI San
Current optical diagnosis technologies use imaging agents that are administrated to the patients. The injection of these agents is not convenient in the clinical procedure and may also pose a risk to patient health. In contrast, hyperspectral imaging requires no imaging agent and is label-free, which makes it a noninvasive diagnostic tool. Current technologies also require large equipment, while new hyperspectral imaging machinery would be more mobile, smaller, and relatively inexpensive.
Baowei Fei, PhD
Emory researcher, Baowei Fei, PhD, Director of Quantitative BioImaging Laboratory and a Georgia Research Alliance Distinguished Cancer Scientist, is now spearheading the effort to convert Hyperspectral imaging into a clinical tool that can expedite and simplify the process of identifying cancerous tissue within patients. Fei has successfully tested tumor identification and resections in mice and human surgical specimen and is now moving into a clinical study on human subjects. The human study allows Fei and his team to further improve the imaging algorithm since they can take the resected cancerous material and image it in the lab. Licensing Associate, Raj Guddneppnavar said, "One challenge that we must overcome in making hyperspectral imaging a widely accepted clinical technology is convincing the medical world to accept a new imaging modality for cancer diagnosis. New technology takes time to be accepted even if it is more effective."
Moving forward, Fei hopes to create a portable device that can be sold and distributed on the medical market and used in hospitals and operating rooms everywhere. He also hopes to see if hyperspectral imaging has further applications in medical diagnostics like retinal diseases and other types of cancers.

Unicorn in the Woods by Gordon Pitts
Goose Lane Editions has recently published Unicorn in the Woods: How East Coast Geeks and Dreamers Are Changing the Game, written by Gordon Pitts.
As tech investors the world over search for elusive unicorns (start-ups valued at over $1 billion), acclaimed business journalist Gordon Pitts asks whether there can be a place for high-tech innovation and unicorn-like value creation outside of major urban centres, whether in Atlantic Canada, rust-belt New York, or Northern Ontario.
Journeying back to the origins of Radian6 and Q1 Labs — two New Brunswick companies that sold for a combined $1 billion — in the basements and offices of a group of geeks and dreamers, Pitts tells a story of two remarkable companies and the legacies that continue to this day. But theirs was not a simple tale of overnight success; there were sellouts and firings, comebacks and vindication, and still unfulfilled promise.
This is a story of high-tech value creation far from Silicon Valley, a story of the mythical unicorn in the woods. Are the stories of Radian6 and Q1 Labs outliers, rogue datapoints that should be discarded, or the foundation for a new knowledge economy outside of the mainstream?
"Gordon Pitts, the dean of Canadian business storytelling, expertly maps out how a province with 'too much infrastructure and not enough people' produced not one but two of Canada's most successful start-ups of the early 2010s." — Sean Silcoff"
The behind-the-scenes skinny on one of the most compelling Atlantic Canadian business sagas in recent memory. Gordon Pitts provides entrepreneurs with a roadmap for what is possible when ambition and smarts meet opportunity, regardless of geography." — John DeMont
"You can't beat Gordon Pitts. No guff, straight-up, Pitts always gets to the guts of things and keeps the story moving. Unicorn in the Woods is an engrossing read for anyone interested in the future of Canadian innovation and the promise of a new age of prosperity for a part of the country looking to write a proud new chapter in its economic history." — Howard Green
"A must read for the thousands of entrepreneurs building their companies, progressive policy makers, and business and community leaders. It's also a real story about the challenges and excitement of building new ideas and new companies in emerging markets." — Annette Verschuren, OC

Top 5 Open Source AMQP (Advanced Message Queing Protocol) Implementations
Advanced Message Queuing Protocol is an open standard protocol designed to support messaging over middle-ware. AMQP created a functional interoperability between the client and the messaging middle-ware. The model consists of a set of components that route the messages within the broker service and a network wire live protocol lets client application to communicate with server and interact with the AMQ model. The protocol is used in distributed application and it includes point- to-point, publish, subscribe, fan-out and request-response messaging system. AMQP does not store messages, instead, the messages are routed to queues on behalf of recipient. Top 5 open source AMQP implementation are given below.
RabbitMQ is written in Erlang and it is one of the most widely used robust messaging. RabbitMQ is easy to use and fit for cloud scale. The application is supported by most of the major operating system and platforms, and it is open source under Mozilla Public license. It is designed for business messaging and provides messaging through adapters, SMTP, STOMP, HTTP and lightweight web messaging. It has a thriving community of active users and contributors, and provides full range of commercial implementation support through SprinSoruce division of VMAre. There is no limitation of one time message at RabbitMQ which allows you to send messages twice to consumers and multiple consumers get mutually different messages at one time. Its major drawback is the server's clustering characteristics is poor .Two queue should be set up on two hosts and it prevents client side duplication. It does not support scalability of number of clients and queues, more than 250,000.Rabbit is very sensitive to DNS / DHCP failures.
OpenAMQ
Open AMQ is message broker and it has client libraries for C / C++ and JMS. It provides C API called WireAPI which has remote admin tools, instant federation, one line failover, protection against slow clients and many other features. It supports HA through primary / secondary failover, the handling of messages, transactions, and replication of exchange, queues, binding and messages between servers is provided. The server side state is recreated and HA support is exclusive of federation support. The disadvantages of OpenaMQ are – it has few docs and it does not have a strong community support for implementation. It works as subset of AMQP 0.9 and it is mainly JAVA centric, not providing features for other languages.
StormMQ
StormMQ provides message oriented middleware hosted On-Premise or cloud solution. It provide secure open platform and required legal protection for data transferred through the cloud. The solution operates with clients of RabbitMQ and Apache QPid, and also through open source with code under Mozilla Public License. The software is written in Java, and client list of StormMQ includes US based Smith Electric Vehicles and US Department of Energy.
Apache Qpid
Apache Qpid provides message brokers written in C++, JMS, Java, Python, .Net and Ruby. Apache implements AMQP specification, clustering heterogeneous, multiplatform support, federation and security. All queue data and metadata is replicated throughout the nodes which make up a cluster. QPID is a type of compilation project of Apache which has piles of clients and two brokers which support each other's versions of AMQP standards and it has few additional boost libraries and support for consuming messaging in C ++ and Python. But it does not allow the support to produce it in either language through HTTP Gateway. The C++ broker provides up to 500,000 queues per host and it provides support for persistent queues for undelivered messages- which survive even after server restart.
Red Hat Enterprise MRG
Red Hat Enterprise MRG is the latest version of AMQP 0 -10 which provides a number of good features including full management, Active – Active clustering through Apache Qpid, federation, and support for web console. It is also available in latest version of Fedora as AMQP Infrastructure. Its release includes QPID of Apache which helps to improve its messaging system, its throughput and also provides support for traditional SOA Technology. It provides IT infrastructure of the next generation for messaging and offers increase performance, durability, interoperability and fast computing. Red Hat supports messaging of huge files, cycle as well as parallel harvesting scheduling, high performance computing and distributed workload management. It's MRG – messaging real time grid is set over 50 RPMs.
The main purpose of AMQP is to deliver messages and have simple queue system to get asynchronous message delivered across a number of server side applications and the delivery system should be simple to implement, and have a high durability and scalability. RabbitMQ is one of the favorite AMQP of clients but it needs some more features.

Dhaka, Bangladesh Fire Kills Dozens Of People In Chawkbazar District
The area dating to the Mughal era 400 years ago is crammed with buildings separated by narrow alleys, with residences commonly above shops.
Julhas Alam Associated Press via CP
DHAKA, Bangladesh — A fire in Bangladesh that killed at least 67 people in the oldest part of the capital shows the lapses in public safety that continue to plague the South Asian country despite its rapid economic growth.
While the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina touts the garment factories and gleaming office towers in Dhaka's north side as signs of progress, illegal shops and overcrowding in Chawkbazar, one of the city's many warren-like southern districts, impeded firefighters' ability to put out Wednesday night's blaze, illustrating the country's uneven development.
The government has zoning laws and regulations on the books, but has met public resistance when it tried to enforce them, Bangladesh planning experts said Thursday.

Firefighters try to control fire at Chawkbazar, an old town in Dhaka, on Feb. 21, 2019.
Business owners in old Dhaka routinely bribe government employees responsible for building oversight, they said.
After a warehouse storing flammable material caught fire in 2010 in Nimtoli, a district near Chawkbazar, killing at least 123 people, authorities promised to bring the area into compliance with building codes, and evict chemical warehouses from buildings where people lived.
Industrial facilities can't legally exist in areas that are zoned residential, said Mohammed Manjur Morshed, an assistant professor of urban planning at Khulna University of Engineering and Technology.
"This type of thing happens, there's a big initiative to move everything out, and then after some time people forget about it and the government is really not interested any more. It's like that,'' Morshed said.
"Corruption buys building permits, and then there's very little oversight to see whether anyone is building according to the submitted plan,'' he said.
As the area was developed continuously, there is very high population density and haphazard growth.Shafiq-Ur Rahman, Jahangirnagar University
In 2014, three people were killed and three others severely burned when a perfume warehouse on the third floor of a building in Chawkbazar caught fire. The following year, a fire gutted eight plastic factories.
Morshed said government regulations are sufficient, but are routinely flouted in Chawkbazar.
The contrast between new and old Dhaka— the city's north and south sides — is stark, said Shafiq-Ur Rahman, an urban planning professor at Jahangirnagar University in Dhaka.
"As the area was developed continuously, there is very high population density and haphazard growth,'' he said. "You need to consider preservation to maintain the heritage, but this is not the first time. We have an unfortunate history, and we need in redevelopment to figure how to provide services, like access for firefighters.''
Mohammad Ponir Hossain / Reuters
Debris are seen outside the burnt warehouse at Chawkbazar in Dhaka, Feb. 21, 2019.
Denizens of the Muslim-majority nation throng to Chawkbazar each year for Mughal foods to celebrate iftar, when Muslims break their fast during Ramadan.
In the festive atmosphere, makeshift stalls and itinerant vendors sell spices, sweets, minced mutton, kebabs and other delicacies in tight passageways teeming with the faithful.
Thousands of animals are slaughtered in the open during Eid-ul-Azha, a sacrificial festival, near Chawkbazar Shahi Mosque.
A government eviction drive in 400-year-old Chawkbazar and other areas of old Dhaka to clear makeshift stalls from walkways was met with protests last May on the eve of Ramadan by business owners and residents.
According to local reports, some 500 illegal stands were evicted from the narrow streets. In response, hundreds of legal shops closed in protest.
It was not clear whether the death toll from Wednesday's blaze would affect the status quo in Dhaka.
Death toll lowered
Fire officials had initially reported that 81 people died, but later lowered the number to 67.
Russel Shikder, a fire department duty officer, said first responders had counted each body bag taken to the morgue as one victim, but that some bags contained only body parts, prompting a recount.
On Thursday afternoon, shops had opened and the streets were crowded in much of Chawkbazar, except for within a police cordon where authorities continued to comb through the destruction left by the blaze.
The fire was about 500 metres (550 feet) away from Dhaka's 18th-century Central Jail, a former Mughal fort where ex-Prime Minister and opposition leader Khaleda Zia has been held since February last year on corruption charges. Since 2016, the jail has only been used to hold opposition figures, and Zia is currently the only inmate. It was not threatened by the fire.

This study reports the prevalence and prognostic impact of right bundle branch block (RBBB) and left bundle branch block (LBBB) in the admission electrocardiogram (ECG) of comatose survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The present study is part of the predefined electrocardiographic substudy of the prospective randomized target temperature management trial, which found no benefit of targeting 33°C over 36°C in terms of outcome. Six-hundred eighty-two patients were included in the substudy. An admission ECG, which defined the present study population, was available in 602 patients (88%). These ECGs were stratified by the presence of LBBB, RBBB, or no-BBB (reference) on admission. End points were mortality and neurologic outcome 6 months after OHCA. RBBB was present in 79 patients (13%) and LBBB in 65 patients (11%), and the majority of BBBs (92%) had resolved 4 hours after admission. RBBB was associated with significantly higher 6 months mortality (RBBB: hazard ratio [HR]unadjusted 1.78, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.30 to 2.43; LBBB: HRunadjusted 1.26, 95% CI 0.87 to 1.81), but this did not reach a level of significance in the adjusted model (HRadjusted 1.33, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.87). Similar findings were seen for neurologic outcome in the unadjusted and adjusted analyses. RBBB was further independently associated with higher odds of unfavorable neurologic outcome (RBBB: adjusted odds ratio 1.97, 95% CI 1.05 to 3.71). In conclusion, BBBs after OHCA were transient in most patients, and RBBB was directly associated with higher mortality and independently associated with higher odds of unfavorable neurologic outcome. RBBB is seemingly an early indicator of an unfavorable prognosis after OHCA.

1/3rd of Minnesotans w/ COVID Refuse to Help Contact Tracers
Carly Ross Updated: November 4, 2020
A recent estimate from a member of the Minnesota Department of Health says that about 1/3rd of Minnesotan's who have COVID-19 refuse to help contact tracers. The MDH says this is a problem and they are growing concerned.
The goal of contact tracing COVID-19 is to protect others. MDH infections disease director Kris Ehresmann told Bring Me the News that when people refuse to cooperate with contact tracers it "makes it harder for us to get the word to potential high-risk contacts who may go on to get COVID and pass it along to others."
Kris is the one who said on Monday that about 30-35% of Minnesotan's with COVID "are refusing to provide information about where they've been and [who] they've exposed."
She also reiterated the importance of following the guidelines the MDH has released such as wearing a mask social distancing, staying home when you're sick, etc. Kris also added that cooperating with contact tracers is another guideline Minnesotan's should follow.
The Minnesota Department of Health is not only worried about people not cooperating with contact tracers but they're also worried about the direction that Minnesota is going with COVID cases. Kris said, "Minnesota is in a bad spot due to rapid spread of COVID-19 and it's going to get worse before it gets better". That makes it even more important to give the information you do have to contact tracers if you have COVID.
