New test detects all viruses that infect people, animals
On: 2015/10/06
A new test detects virtually any virus that infects people and animals, according to research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, where the technology was developed.

Many thousands of viruses are known to cause illness in people and animals, and making a diagnosis can be an exhaustive exercise, at times requiring a battery of different tests. That's because current tests aren't sensitive enough to detect low levels of viral bugs or are limited to detecting only those viruses suspected of being responsible for a patient's illness.
"With this test, you don't have to know what you're looking for," said the study's senior author, Gregory Storch, MD, the Ruth L. Siteman Professor of Pediatrics. "It casts a broad net and can efficiently detect viruses that are present at very low levels. We think the test will be especially useful in situations where a diagnosis remains elusive after standard testing or in situations in which the cause of a disease outbreak is unknown."
Results published online in September in the journal Genome Research demonstrate that in patient samples the new test – called ViroCap – can detect viruses not found by standard testing based on genome sequencing. The new test could be used to detect outbreaks of deadly viruses such as Ebola, Marburg and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), as well as more routine viruses, including rotavirus and norovirus, both of which cause severe gastrointestinal infections.
The test sequences and detects viruses in patient samples and is just as sensitive as the gold-standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays, which are used widely in clinical laboratories. However, even the most expansive PCR assays can only screen for up to about 20 similar viruses at the same time.
The Washington University researchers are making the technology they developed publicly available to scientists and clinicians worldwide, for the benefit of patients and research.
The researchers evaluated the new test in two sets of biological samples – for example, from blood, stool and nasal secretions – from patients at St. Louis Children's Hospital. In the first, standard testing that relied on genome sequencing had detected viruses in 10 of 14 patients. But the new test found viruses in the four children that earlier testing had missed. Standard testing failed to detect common, everyday viruses: influenza B, a cause of seasonal flu; parechovirus, a mild gastrointestinal and respiratory virus; herpes virus 1, responsible for cold sores in the mouth; and varicella-zoster virus, which causes chickenpox.
In a second group of children with unexplained fevers, standard testing had detected 11 viruses in the eight children evaluated. But the new test found another seven, including a respiratory virus called human adenovirus B type 3A, which usually is harmless but can cause severe infections in some patients.
In all, the number of viruses detected in the two patient groups jumped to 32 from 21, a 52 percent increase.
"The test is so sensitive that it also detects variant strains of viruses that are closely related genetically," said corresponding author Todd Wylie, an instructor of pediatrics. "Slight genetic variations among viruses often can't be distinguished by currently available tests and complicate physicians' ability to detect all variants with one test."
In addition, because the test includes detailed genetic information about various strains of particular viruses, subtypes can be identified easily. For example, the study showed that while standard testing identified a virus as influenza A, which causes seasonal flu, the new test indicated that the virus was a particularly harsh subtype called H3N2.
Last flu season, H3N2 contributed to some 36,000 deaths in the United States. And in some patients – particularly young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems – knowing that the H3N2 strain is present may alter treatment.
To develop the test, the researchers targeted unique stretches of DNA or RNA from every known group of viruses that infects humans and animals. In all, the research team included 2 million unique stretches of genetic material from viruses in the test. These stretches of material are used as probes to pluck out viruses in patient samples that are a genetic match. The matched viral material then is analyzed using high-throughput genetic sequencing. As completely novel viruses are discovered, their genetic material could easily be added to the test, Storch said.
The researchers plan to conduct additional research to validate the accuracy of the test, so it could be several years before it is clinically available.
"It also may be possible to modify the test so that it could be used to detect pathogens other than viruses, including bacteria, fungi and other microbes, as well as genes that would indicate the pathogen is resistant to treatment with antibiotics or other drugs," said co-author Kristine Wylie, PhD, assistant professor of pediatrics.
In the meantime, the technology can be used by scientists to study viruses in a research setting. Kristine Wylie investigates the viruses that set up residence in and on the human body, collectively known as the virome. The new test will provide a way to capture the full breadth and depth of such viruses, and deepen understanding of how they play a role in keeping the body healthy.

Hiring a digital marketing agency can be a challenging decision for a small business in New Jersey.
Search on Google with the key-phrase NJ digital agency, and you get more than 33 million results!
Ask some of the agencies for quotations, and you'll get bids ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands dollars.
Compare their services, and you'll get further confused because of the vast disparity among the offerings.
The confusion doesn't help you answer a key question: which particular digital agency would be the best fit for your business?
What Does Your Best-Fit Digital Agency Look Like?
Digital marketing involves a range of diverse activities which occur on a variety of digital channels. So, before you start interviewing digital agencies, you have to know what services you need.
But, this is not to say that you need an exact match (in Google's lingo) between your marketing needs and the agency's services. To be the best fit for your business, a digital agency should offer the services you need now as well as those you'll need in the future.
For example, as a startup, you can hire a web developer to create a stunning website. Soon, you might realize that no one is visiting your site, so you hire an SEO company to get you the traffic.
The next thing you know, you're getting visitors, but they're not buying from you, so you start looking for a conversion optimization pro. And then there are social media, email marketing services, video production, and other digital marketing activities for which you need professional help.
Just like too many cooks spoil the broth, hiring different companies (or individuals) to handle different channels and activities can spoil your marketing and branding.
For example, your SEO agency might tell you to revamp your website structure because the developers didn't build it for SEO. Or, your conversion optimization pro might point out the mistakes in your SEO strategy.
In other words, you should work with a full-stack digital agency right from the start, so that you don't have to hire outside help every other day.
You should know your business and marketing goals before you start interviewing agencies. Do you want to create brand awareness, generate leads, create a social community, or do something else?
If you can't figure it out on your own, you can attend a free consultation session that many New Jersey-based digital agencies gladly offer.
After you have identified your goals, you can shortlist a bunch of bunch of companies and find out their answers to 15 key questions.
1. What are the digital marketing results that you guarantee?
Just like a lawyer won't guarantee the outcome of a case, a professional digital agency can't give you any guaranteed results. It's a trick question to differentiate between true professionals and enthusiastic amateurs.
2. What services does your digital agency provide?
A full-stack agency must provide the complete range of digital marketing services including web design and development, SEO (search engine optimization), PPC (pay-per-click advertising), video marketing, mobile marketing, social media marketing, email marketing, and content marketing.
3. In which areas of digital marketing do you specialize?
Digital marketing is such a vast subject that it is unlikely for a digital marketing company to claim mastery of everything. Ask your prospective agency about their strongest area and see if their specialty matches your requirements.
4. Can you show me your portfolio, case studies,or testimonials?
A serious digital marketing agency must be able to show you their client portfolio, testimonials, or case studies. Examine their work closely and see if they'd be a good fit for your business.
5. How do we start working with you?
Most digital agencies offer a free consultation to assess your current standing and present a rough plan. Some agencies also offer a free digital marketing audit. Your best-fit agency should take the time to understand your business and goals and propose a viable plan.
6. Would / do you work for our competitors?
If you have an innovative product (such as a new mobile app) and you don't want competitors to get wind of your idea, you should work with a digital agency that agrees to sign an exclusive agreement. If they're not willing to, they may not be a best-fit.
7. Can you introduce your team members? What skills and experience do they have?
You will be trusting your digital business to these people, so you deserve to know them well. Assess their capabilities by asking about their qualifications, experience, and previous projects.
8. Will real people or bots manage my account?
Artificial intelligence and machine learning may one day take the job of a digital marketer. Luckily (for us), that day is not here yet. You still need humans to manage your account, although they may employ automation or AI to run better campaigns. For example, AI tools can help in creating emotionally targeted content, but you need an expert to use such tools.
9. What activities do you outsource and how do you ensure quality?
Even full-stack agencies need to outsource certain specialized activities such as photography or 3D animation. You should know which part of the work will not be done by the agency.
10. Who will have the right to the marketing assets you'll create?
Some agencies might lock you out of your own Google Ads account (or even your own website) claiming it to be their intellectual property. Leave no ambiguity about the fact that all rights to the digital assets will belong to you.
11. Who would be our contact person and how do we communicate?
Your agency should assign you an account manager, who should be approachable through email and phone. Top digital agencies provide a client's portal where you can log in, see your account activity, and get in touch with your account team.
12.What KPIs do you measure and how?
Here's Smart Insight's short but comprehensive list of digital marketing KPIs from six major channels that your agency must measure and report. The people managing your digital marketing must use the right analytics software to track these KPIs.
13. What Martech (marketing technology) stack does your agency use?
Each of the major digital channels requires a dedicated marketing tool to manage. Buffer App or HootSuite will take care of social media, MailChimp or Constant Contact gets your emails out, and Google Analytics or KissMetrics tracks your marketing efforts.
14. How do you describe your company culture?
Your people are going to work closely with your agency's staff. A prospective agency might have a rooftop swimming pool and hip culture, but will your people feel comfortable with them? If your agency employees use alcohol during office hours and frequently swear at work, you'll have to see if such a culture will fit into your company's culture.
15. How much will you charge us?
Finally, it gets down to dollars and cents. There are cheap services that you can buy a dime a dozen, but consider this: The average pay of a digital marketing manager is $64,293 per year. An SEO specialist's average annual pay is $43,806.
And then, there are the developers, designers, email experts, social media managers, customer service executive, and other marketing services staffs. So, if you're paying a couple of hundred bucks a month for hiring digital marketing services in New Jersey, you're probably not serious about growing digitally.
Your best-fit digital agency has a transparent price policy. They should hide nothing and make sure you understand everything clearly. Review the agreement, request changes, and repeat until there are no grey areas.
So, what do you think of our 15 questions? Can you add to this list? Feel free to comment!

You may have heard that before you pick a doctor you are supposed to look them up online and see what other people have to say about them before you set up an appointment.
In the Age of Amazon this makes sense. Why wouldn't you?
Allow me to give you a little insider information. While they may well be a good idea in theory, Yelp.com and other online physician review sites have evolved in recent years to become the bane of my and fellow doctors existence.
This past summer, Physicians Working Together, a non-partisan physician organization, started a petition on Change.org requesting Yelp remove online reviews of doctors. To date, more than 30,000 physicians have signed it but I doubt Yelp will pay much attention.
Recently, the highest-level court in Germany ruled Jameda, an online physician rating site, must remove the name of a disgruntled physician. A dermatologist from Cologne filed the case in the Federal Justice Court demanding Jameda remove her name due to the fact the anonymous nature of the rating site inspires the public to leave spiteful, vindictive comments. Interestingly enough, in 2014, a gynecologist asked to be removed from Jameda, however the Court ruled the right of patients to be "well informed" about their doctor took precedence over freedoms of the physician.
Patient advocates would argue rating sites for physicians improve transparency for consumers. Physicians would counter with the argument that a medical clinic is not like a restaurant, hair salon, or shopping mall. We engage in a highly personal way with the public that is quite different from sitting down for a meal. The larger concern is whether or not Yelp.com patrons are actually "well-informed" by reading online physician reviews.
After a little research, it appears the answer is no. I used a local medical community as an example. The reviews overall are not very good; on average the medical clinics are 3.0/5.0 stars. Some reviews extol on physical appearance of the physician, be they female or male. One reviewer discusses being offended by seeing a transgender physician, an element which has little to do with the provision of medical services. At first glance, one might believe moving to Kitsap County, WA is akin to choosing between life and death. Rest assured, most of the populace is alive and well.
Online reviews are not a reflection of medical care quality. Patients do not like receiving medical bills and do not like rude clinic staff. They are unhappy if the physician disagrees with them, they abhor long wait times, and they detest prior authorizations, (news flash, so do physicians!) Yet these criticisms are not a reflection of the healthcare quality provided by the physician. It is doubtful these grievances even have an impact on the mortality rate.
According to "well informed" consumers, which qualities make a physician "good"?
Actually, the answer is amusing. It is best if a physician is in fact, not a medical doctor at all. It turns out EVERY naturopathic doctor, homeopathic doctor, chiropractor, and acupuncturist in my community is providing five-star-rated care. One patron gave a few alternative practitioners only one star, but those reviews were more than nine years old; alternative medical practitioners were not as "well-accepted" by a "well-informed" public at that time. As with other service businesses, the internet is unlikely to replace good, old fashioned "word-of-mouth" referrals.
While internet ratings are not an accurate way to measure medical care quality, they are a way for angry individuals to air grievances, whether those are truth, lies, fiction, or somewhere in between. For example, a one-star rating was left by a woman who did not like the way a staff member answered the phone at one clinic; she went on to give 5 one-star ratings to other physicians nearby at other clinics. Interestingly enough, googling her name brings up a Yelp.com review describing her as having borderline personality disorder.
What is the public being informed of exactly? Not much. Physicians may have difficulty responding to patient reviews without compromising protected health information, ultimately rendering them defenseless. If the goal is to keep everyone accountable, where is the balance between physicians and consumers? Should physicians have a database to rate patients? Accountability is where the rubber meets the road and it cannot be found in online reviews of physicians. Ironically, the lawyers in my community have very solid 5.0-star ratings, that is, unless they delivered a summons, then they were given a 1.0-star rating.
Yelp and other physician rating sites should remove the physician reviews entirely because these entities are selling something they cannot deliver. Until a physician wins a case against Yelp, Google, or another physician rating site, it seems wise to give every patient exactly what they ask for, never argue or tell them the truth, hire staff members who are like Mary Poppins and "practically perfect in every way", and prioritize timely visits no matter if a patient is dying in the next room.
Is it any wonder the U.S. mortality rate continues to fall?
I will confess… I google patients ahead of time too. I also check out their facebook account before accepting them as a patient in the first place. Safety first.
So patients should not look into your details online, but you should look into theirs?
I always check every last details of a physician online and even ask for friends recommendations.
My honest answer is the best way to find out about physicians is to do a "meet and greet." It is a short appointment, patients bring a few questions, and we talk. I can usually tell within a few minutes if a patient and I will be a good fit and I think they can tell also. Not every patient clicks with every physician, but when a physician and patient mesh… it is magical.
Allan, keeping the door wide open with an adversarial individual would be a necessity. I agree with you completely.
I agree with you. Rating service can be easily manipulated.
Seriously, you expect me to go through my active patients (a constantly changing list) and one-by-one determine who is an MD or married to one or the child of one or the parent of one and tally that up and keep it updated and make it available to whomever? Seriously? That's how I should be spending my time?
I am with you Dr. Morgan… pretty soon, we will spend 3 hours for every 1 hour of patient care… in a given day we will see 5 patients, type for 6 hours and go home. Hmmmm do you think the physicians shortage will get any better? Doubtful.
Outcomes can still vary widely given the parameters you cite, but in general they will probably be at least OK (there are exceptions). We have talked this over before and I still don't think there is a surefire way to figure out who is best. You can hope for some help from your PCP, but that won't always work either. Hope that you know someone in the field.
Thanks Steve. Informative feedback as always. Over the last 25 years, I've had six surgical procedures of which three were heart related. I was well satisfied with five of the outcomes and somewhat disappointed with one. There probably never will be a surefire way to figure out who is best and it's likely that no surgeon bats 1,000 even if he / she is considered the best or among the best.
Niran, the key here is "independent." There are all kinds of ways in which primary care physicians may not be independent in a way that makes their recommendations the "most pure." How is the patient to know whether you are golfing buddies with a specialist you recommend, or are part of the same sprawling health system, or have any of a number of relationships and biases that go beyond the purely clinical?
Allan, I suspect we are kindred spirits. I cannot disagree with anything you said above.
Or maybe make it such that the doctor always has a right to answer any comment expressed online. The anonymity problem still would need some solution. I notice Amazon checks to be sure the buyer was a verifed purchaser of the product.
Allan – exactly correct. If some do not get what they want or have to pay their balance… it is a 1-star-rating all the way….

With the recent news on the Zika Virus, and before that Ebola, and MERS, and SARS, and Avian flu etc, etc, it's instructive to contemplate these entities. I am doing research for my next novel, which is about a professor who wants to create a new virus; the novel is in initial editing phase. It's actual a literary satire, so nothing apocalyptic. Anyhow, I found a little bit of information on virus that really puts these entities into perspective.
"The virion of a herpesvirus, which is a fairly large virus, is about ten million times smaller than a large balloon, while the balloon is smaller than the Earth by the same factor." Virology, Principles and Applications, John B. Carter and Venetia A. Saunders.
I ran across this little book. I was astounded by how much this book encapsulates the various themes in A M M. This book offers a method for understanding the world today. After having encountered thousands upon thousands of patients and seeing the level of their understanding of human psyche (especially their own psyche), I would definitely recommend this book for everyone.
Sometimes, the block weighing down a writer's creativity is considerable, and the writer feels like a child. No matter what he does, nothing seems right.
Maybe, he should get away from the written words for a while. Find a desolate place to rediscover why he had bothered with it all in the first place.
And if he is lucky enough to remember why he started with all this nonsense in the first place and finds that he can actually write another sentence, then he should reward himself with a bowl of Ramen.
I was out this morning, walking Los Angeles downtown around the Biltmore Hotel and Pershing Square, fishing for materials and stories. Gentrification is blasting away with full force, cleansing what, only a few years ago, was blight, and in doing so resurrecting the old glory of Los Angeles. The Biltmore Hotel, The Theater, the Old Jewelry District, all around the streets are alive with pedestrians parsing through weekend farmers market, students from the local FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise) ambulating as if on catwalks, and indispensable transients making permanent scenes along the pavements.

Jorge L. Araneta Wife: Who is Jorge L. Araneta's Wife Stella Araneta?
ByHalley Esi August 26, 2022
One of the richest businessmen in the Philippines is known as Jorge L. Araneta. He serves as The Araneta Group's CEO, Chairman, and President. At Cali, Colombia's Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Peter, he wed Stella Márquez-Araneta, a beauty queen who was of Spanish and Polish descent. The couple has five kids.
Jorge L. Araneta
Who is Jorge L. Araneta's Wife Stella Araneta?
Former beauty queen Mara Stella Márquez-Araneta. She was born and raised in New York City before moving to Colombia and winning a pageant there. She was named the inaugural Miss International in 1960 while serving as Miss Colombia. She was born in Tumaco, Colombia, on June 17, 1937.
She attended Manhattan's Marymount School of New York for her high school education. She identified as a Gringa as a young student because she found it impossible to relate to Colombian culture, including the national dance Cumbia. She went to Marymount College to complete her education after high school. She pursued dual majors in French and psychology.
She received an honorary award in 1957 for her work as a beauty model for Pan American Airlines. Due to the lack of a national entry, she also competed as Miss Honduras in a local Los Angeles pageant. As a show of support for other affiliated Catholic schools for women, she was also sent by the nuns from her school to serve as one of the "court princesses" for the 1957 homecoming celebration at Loyola Marymount University.
Stella Araneta, who works for the Binibining Pilipinas organization, is the current director of the Miss International franchises in the Philippines and the former national director of the Miss Universe pageant. Additionally, she has 50 years of experience as the head of Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc.

One of the obstacles to the development of the Ring of Fire is the construction of a road to the Far North. What challenges and/or opportunities does the construction industry face in the coming years? What pressure will Ontario's ageing workforce place on the industry?

The poll panel has noted with "extreme displeasure, the tone and tenor used for addressing a Constitutional Authority in stark violation of the established protocol."
New Delhi: The Election Commission on Wednesday reprimanded the Department of Revenue for the "casual and trivial" manner in which its advisory to be absolutely neutral, impartial and non-discriminatory during enforcement action was dealt with.
"EC expresses its deep sense of anguish about the casual and trivial manner in which the advisory to be absolutely neutral, impartial and non- discriminatory has been responded to by Department of Revenue. Instead of detailing the modalities of implementing the advisory, Department insolently chose to issue a counter advisory," the EC said.
"Therefore, the Commission reprimands the Department of Revenue for making unwarranted remarks and expects that the directions issued by the Commission in the said advisory are followed in letter as well as in spirit," the EC said.
Against the backdrop of allegations that government was using agencies to target rival parties in poll season, the Election Commission Sunday "strongly advised" the Finance Ministry that any action by its agencies during election time must be neutral and non-discriminatory.

In Windows, can I install and run multiple versions of Microsoft Office? If yes then how i need to do that. Do i need any particular specification for me computer???? PLease Help.
I'm not sure why you would want to, but I would believe you can.
Just make sure the install directories for each one is different.
Yes, you can. I did myself install both Microsoft Office 2003 and Microsoft Office 2003 because at work I use Office 2003 while I prefer using Office 2007 for personal purposes. Both versions will be installed in different folders; however, by default, the 2007 version of office will run every time you try to open an office file (even an Office 2003 file) on your computer (powerpoint, document, or excel). This means that you will need to force the opening of a file with Office 2003 whenever you need to, but this is not a big deal.
Yes sure, you can, there is no such deal.

Telemedicine in the United States: An introduction for students and residents
Maryam A. Hyder, Junaid Razzak
Telemedicine refers to the delivery of medical care and provision of general health services from a distance. Telemedicine has been practiced for decades with increasing evidence proving its potential for enhanced quality of care for patients, reduction in hospital readmissions, and increase in savings for both patients and providers. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant increase in the reliance on telemedicine and telehealth for provision of health care services. Developments in telemedicine should be structured as complements to current health care procedures, not with the goal of completely digitizing the entire health care system, but rather to use the power of technology to enhance areas that may not be working at their full potential. At the same time, it is also clear that further research is needed on the effectiveness of telemedicine in terms of both financial and patient benefits. We discuss the current and rapidly increasing knowledge about the use of telemedicine in the United States, and identify the gaps in knowledge and opportunities for further research. Beginning with telemedicine's origins in the United States to its widespread use during the COVID-19 pandemic, we highlight recent developments in legislation, accessibility, and acceptance of telemedicine.

UMSoM 4th year rotations are four weeks in length.
Students may be allowed to participate in 3 week electives (on our campus or at an off campus site) if scheduling conflicts arise between our academic calendar and the calendar of other schools. These electives must include at least 15 working days over the 3 week period in order to count toward our graduation requirements.
Electives must be at least 3 consecutive weeks in length and on the same rotation/elective in order to receive credit toward graduation. Students may not combine 2, 2-week rotations on different rotations/electives at the same institution and receive graduation credit.
Two week experiences will show on your transcript as an AU=Audited course and will not count toward graduation credit at all.
All off campus experiences require an Off Campus Form to be completed by the student, signed by UMB Faculty, and returned to dropadd@som.umaryland.edu along with confirmation of acceptance from the visiting institution.
This document will help you to fill out the Drop/Add form correctly. Read this form before submitting a Drop/Add form to the elective administrator.
Use this document to help guide you in creating your schedule.
This document is OSA's official Drop/Add form. You must complete this form when making any schedule changes in your fourth year.
This link contains the contact information for all departmental administrators.
Students: Send your drop/add or off-campus forms to the administrator on the elective, NOT the faculty member.
This link contains valuable information about off-campus electives.
The above link contains the Off-Campus Elective form. You must complete this form when you want to add an off-campus elective to your schedule.

University of Maryland Medical Center: The University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) is the heart of the University of Maryland Medical System's downtown campus. The hospital provides comprehensive care for the West Baltimore community and tertiary care for Maryland and the surrounding area. The hospital has more intensive care beds than any other hospital in Maryland. University of Maryland Medical Center is the principal clinical site for graduate medical education and the University of Maryland School of Medicine provides the faculty and the program director.
Baltimore VA Medical Center: The Baltimore VA Medical Center is the acute medical and surgical care facility for the VA Maryland Health Care System and offers a full range of inpatient, outpatient, and primary care services. Located next to the University of Maryland Medical Center with a walkway connecting the two facilities, the medical center maintains an active affiliation with the University in the sharing of staff, resources, and technology.
R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center: The R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center provides the highest level of trauma care, treating more that 7,000 critically ill and injured patients. The Shock Trauma Center is the designated statewide referral center for head and spinal injuries, multi-system trauma, and severe orthopaedic injuries.
Please note, affiliate hospitals may have additional requirements for elective rotations. Students are encouraged to discuss application requirements with the designated contact person.


One of those hole-in-the-wall places that exceeds your expectations, and you're keen to try again soon. The menu is sparse but everything is exquisite and cheap. Don't miss the handmade gyoza, it really is spectacularly good.
My daughter has grown up on the soup. Excellent food and service. Love it!!!
Fantastic Japanese Raman. We highly recommend this place. Great value for money and great service.
They make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. The food is well priced with meals starting from just $5!!! Not to mention the most delicious japanese noodles I have ever had! I need to ask for a recipe next time Im in!.
Discovered this place by accident was craving noodle soup but Cafe China looked not fresh, Pho place looked dirty. This place was authentic and cheap!
Great service and hits the spot! For hot soup with wonderful broth.
Having been to Japan several times and eaten Ramen from Kyoto to Yokohama, I can honestly say that Ganbaranba is the most authentic Ramen experience you'll find in Cairns (possibly Australia). NB authentic does not mean chic ... this is a bare-bones deal where staff wander around in gumboots and chairs are designed for function, not comfort. I take Japanese freinds here when they need comfort food and they invariably rave about it. Genuinely excellent!
FABULOUS food, great service - exceptionally good value, I go here 2-3 times a week, Cairns' best kept secret!!!!!
Have you been to Ganbaranba Noodle Colosseum?

The Carlsen Fund
Funding by invitation to nonprofits working in Chatham County communities.
True to the intent of Arthur Carlsen's vision, the founding selection committee of the Carlsen Fund has supported Chatham County nonprofit organizations with funding since 2008. In that time, more than $1 million has been distributed throughout the community for direct human services, the arts, food security, education and more. As the Foundation continues to learn about the needs in the community and the organizations doing good work, the support of the Carlsen Fund will be even more broadly deployed, reaching deeper and wider into Chatham County communities.
Arthur Carlsen was a man of the world and a man of many ideas. After settling in North Carolina, spending his final years at Fearrington Village, he created the Arthur Carlsen Charitable Fund at Triangle Community Foundation to support the community he came to call home.
Arthur Carlsen was born in New York City on October 24, 1915, where he lived until the late 1930's. Arthur married Alice Lee Yeats in Puerto Rico in 1942. He and Alice Lee were successful retailers and owned many stores through their lives, including seven in Puerto Rico and one in Fearrington Village. They traveled extensively around the world buying merchandise for their business. They had no children, nieces or nephews.
In the months before he died, Arthur put great thought into how he would be remembered and what his legacy would be. Since he had no blood relatives, he decided to leave the majority of his accumulated wealth to Triangle Community Foundation to benefit Fearrington Cares and other community organizations. Arthur Carlsen died on September 24, 2006 in Chatham County, one month shy of his ninety-first birthday. Triangle Community Foundation is honored to play a role in helping to share Arthur's legacy.

Rock suggests that it's far more effective to build new neural pathways to learn new habits than to deconstruct old ones. Transforming performance involves listening and communicating in more positive and effective ways. The ultimate goal of quiet leadership is to empower employees to think and solve problems for themselves. This highly practical guide includes exercises for each major concept introduced...

All existing lorry drivers are required to have a medical examintaion at the age of 45 and then every five years until the age of 65.
After the age of 65, the medical has to be done every year.
You should receive an automatic reminder letter, together with the D4 medical form, shortly before your medical examintaion is due. The next review/medical due date is printed on the back of your licence.
The medical examination and D4 medical form are exactly the same for bus and lorry licences, so if you have both licences and they are both coming up for renewal, you just need the one medical, and the one form completing by the doctor, and you can renew them both together.
If you are worried about any medical problems and whether they will affect your licence entitlement please contact us for advice.
