As I mentioned in a previous blogpost, I'm training for a half marathon. One thing that often gets overlooked when it comes to training is what to eat and drink. Consuming food and beverages are the only way to fuel your body for hard work. Think about that for a minute; Food is fuel. In the same way that it is impossible to drive a car very far when the tank is approaching empty, it is impossible to run very far when you haven't fueled up beforehand! Additionally, it's important to think about what you consume during exercise (when working hard for more than 60 minutes) and after exercise for recovery. Since this is such a huge topic, I'll break it up into two posts.
First for the fluids. It's important to start out hydrated and keep it that way. Water is essential for almost every chemical reaction that occurs in the body. Ensure that you keep hydrated on a daily basis by sipping water throughout your day. To figure out just how much fluid you will need during exercise, weigh yourself before and after; every pound of bodyweight lost is equal to about 16 oz of fluid (don't forget to take into account how much you drank during that workout!). This is something that will be variable between individuals and from season to season.
Now onto the pre-workout fuel. What you need will depend upon what time of day you are exercising and how recently you've eaten. If you have had a meal within the past few hours you are probably good to go (I'm assuming you had a well balanced meal with vegetables and fruit included!). If it's been more than 3 or 4 hours, a small snack that has a combination of carbohydrates and protein (such as fruit with cheese or peanut butter) will probably be enough to top off your tank. If you exercise first thing in the morning (like me), I encourage you to get up early enough to eat before you start your activity. If this is something that upsets your stomach there are a few things you can try: wake up a little earlier so that your breakfast can settle, or try different types of foods (depending upon your symptoms fat, fiber or something else may be to blame). For persistent issues, working with a Dietitian can be very helpful.
Every person is individual so what works for me won't necessarily work for you. I like to have a bowl of cereal, coffee and a large glass of water. The cereal is a big bowl of two different types mixed together which I eat dry (since I'm making lunches, getting kids fed, dressed, and off to school – it would get too soggy otherwise!). The coffee is a latte made with a cup of skim milk and no sugar (believe me it doesn't need it!) and the water just helps me to rehydrate (sometimes I have a little more than one glass). I usually start my exercise about 2 hours later (plenty of time for that breakfast to settle) and I will often have a piece of fruit to top me off before I begin. This is a good mix of fluids, carbohydrates, protein and fiber (about 22.25g of protein and 95g of carbohydrates) and has proven to work well for me. Would the same exact thing work for someone else? Maybe not. What we eat is very individual – just make sure that you do eat!
My next blogpost will cover what to eat during activity (for those of you who are exercising for more than 60 minutes at a time) and what to eat for recovery. Stay tuned!
Have you ever heard the term "health halo"? It's when you perceive a food as healthy because of the way it is packaged and marketed or because of another association such as being linked with healthy foods or endorsed by a trusted celebrity. For example, we've all heard about Jared losing weight by eating at Subway, right? So when many of us think about Subway now, we think of them as having healthy food. While they do have healthy options, they also have things like the 6″ Philly Cheesesteak which has a whopping 1310mg of Sodium! You had better not add soup to that meal or you'll easily meet or exceed the recommended Upper Limit for Sodium which is 2400mg (read more in this previous blogpost).
What do you think of when you hear the words organic, natural, made with whole grains, fat-free, fair-trade, pure, made with real fruit…. I could go on and on! These are all words that clever marketing firms use in order to make us feel that a food is healthy so that we will want to buy it. Some of these words are regulated (like the term USDA Organic) and some (like Natural) are not. When a regulated term is used, you still need to be careful! An Organic Soda (like this one) is still full of added sugars and has absolutely no health benefits.
What is the best way to avoid falling into the "health halo" trap? Make sure that the majority of the food you eat is unprocessed. By unprocessed I'm talking about whole fruits and vegetables as well as lean protein sources. Ironically, these are also the kinds of foods that typically don't have a nutrition label in the grocery store and don't get a lot of marketing hype! Eat more foods like these and your body will thank you!
For a little more information on labels, you can read what the Center for Science in the Public Interest has to say.
What's so fun about training for a half-marathon? That's what I used to ask myself… Then I signed up for one as a part of my New Year's Resolution to challenge myself more.
Racing is something I have always shied away from for reasons you may or may not find familiar. I have a tendency to be very hard on myself (as many of us do!) and the thought of not only training for a race, but then having my time recorded for all to see was too much for me. If I heard that someone finished a 5K in 30 minutes I would think – "Could I do that?" "Is that a good time?" "Could I run it faster?" These were not calming positive thoughts! Then I read this New York Times article a while ago and it helped me to start thinking about races as something fun to do, and not something to win or lose. It got me really thinking about how to go out and enjoy the process without being so focused on the end result. So the first part of my personal challenge is to enjoy the process and not set a goal for a certain time or compare myself with others running the same race. I need to let go of the idea of perfection. I cannot judge myself (or anyone else) on how fast I run this race, I can only ask "Did I do my best?" as long as the answer is yes, then I should be very happy indeed.
Second comes the issue of training. If you are going to run any significant distance, you need to train for it. Training involves more than just running; It's also about challenging yourself at times with a variety of workouts and backing off at times to rest and recover. For me, the backing off and resting have always been very hard to do. This idea of challenging ourselves to work hard, but also listening to our bodies (and minds) and resting when we need to, is a great analogy for life. My personal challenge? Make sure to not overdo it; when I'm tempted to keep going on a day that is supposed to be an 'easy' day, I need to follow my training program and stop!
Another other important lesson with training is the planning involved. It takes both time and a plan of action to get from point A to point B. No one goes from couch potato to runner overnight. Planning can help you to achieve almost any goal that you have set for yourself (as long as it is a SMART goal!). Most training schedules for running a half-marathon are from nine to twelve weeks long at a minimum. Since I am a huge planner, this isn't as much of a big deal for me, but it's something I need to do nonetheless. I have a plan and am following along week by week (including all of the rest and easy days!).
One more big component of all of this training and planning is what to eat for energy and recovery when running! For me this is the fun part. I have counseled other runners and triathletes about this before, but now it's my turn to try out all of the options. Since food is very individual, I am testing out some different options to find out what works for me. I think I'll save the details of this one for another post.

Q: Rails error with my database when I try to access to index I have a database named WhiteHouse where it has about 450 White house staff and I have my home directory (root) pointed to the index of the database.
Below is the following error:
Mysql2::Error: Table 'WhiteHouse.employees' doesn't exist: SHOW FULL FIELDS FROM `employees` (Ruby on Rails)
app/controllers/employees_controller.rb:5:in `index'

I checked out the naming conventions of rails and my files in the MVC architecture were named appropriately. However, when I open the local server and try to open up the home page, it gives me that error in the index method of my controller class. My employees_controller.rb file is below:
class EmployeesController < ApplicationController
  # GET /employees
  # GET /employees.json
  def index
     @employees = Employee.all

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html # index.html.erb
      format.json { render json: @employees }
  end
end

Can someone please assist me?
I already migrated it successfully because the schema.rb file updated along with the migration.

Q: Contact form code customization Hi – I've implemented a contact form on my site based on the tuto at this address http://designwoop.com/2012/07/tutorial-coding-a-jquery-popup-modal-contact-form/
It works fine, the only issue is that I want to add a field "name" in the form.
So I added this line of code in the html code of form:
<input id="name" class="txt" type="name" name="name" placeholder="name"/>

Code of the form after modification:
<form id="contact" action="#" method="post" name="contact">
Your Name
<input id="name" class="txt" type="name" name="name" placeholder="name"/>

Your E-mail
<input id="email" class="txt" type="email" name="email" placeholder="e-mail address"/>

<textarea id="msg" class="txtarea" name="msg" placeholder="Type your message here..."></textarea>
<button id="send">Send E-mail</button>
</form>

I also added this to the send mail php file:
$msg .= "
From: ".$username."
\r\n";

Full code of the send mail php file:
?php
$sendto   = "myemail@gmail.com";
$usermail = $_POST['email'];
$content  = nl2br($_POST['msg']);

$subject  = "New Message frm";
$headers  = "From: " . strip_tags($usermail) . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ". strip_tags($usermail) . "\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8 \r\n";

$msg  = "";
$msg .= "
New message
\r\n";
$msg .= "
From: ".$username."
\r\n";
$msg .= "
E-mail: ".$usermail."
\r\n";
$msg .= "
Message: ".$content."
\r\n";
$msg .= "";

if(@mail($sendto, $subject, $msg, $headers)) {
        echo "true";
} else {
        echo "false";
}

?>

And last part: the javascript code of the contact form. This is where I guess I need to add a reference to the new field "name" that I added. But no idea where? (and also to make that field mandatory). Your help would be much appreciated. Many thanks
// JavaScript Document
function validateEmail(email) {
                var reg = /^(([^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+(\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/;

                $("#contact").submit(function() { return false; });

                $("#send").on("click", function(){
                        var emailval  = $("#email").val();
                        var msgval    = $("#msg").val();

                                $("#msg").removeClass("error");
                        }

                        if(mailvalid == true && msglen >= 4) {
                                // if both validate we attempt to send the e-mail
                                // first we hide the submit btn so the user doesnt click twice

                                $.ajax({
                                        type: 'POST',
                                        url: 'sendmessage.php',
                                        data: $("#contact").serialize(),

                                                        $("#contact").fadeOut("fast", function(){
                                                                $(this).before("

                                                                setTimeout("$.fancybox.close()", 1000);
                                                        });
                                                }
                                        }
                                });
                        }
                });
        });

A: Replace the following code with this:
var emailval  = $("#email").val();
var msgval    = $("#msg").val();
var msglen    = msgval.length;
var mailvalid = validateEmail(emailval);
//Get our name
var nameval = $("#name").val();
//Get our name length
var namelen = nameval.length;

Then under
                if(msglen < 4) {
                        $("#msg").addClass("error");
                }
                else if(msglen >= 4){
                        $("#msg").removeClass("error");
                }

add this
            if(namelen < 2) {
            //name must be at least 2 characters
                    $("#name").addClass("error");
            }
            else if(namelen >= 2){
                    $("#name").removeClass("error");
            }

Thats the JavaScript done!
For the PHP section search for :
$usermail = $_POST['email'];

add:
$username = $_POST['name'];

Try that my friend :)

The Puget Sound Wetlands and Stormwater Management Research Program (PSWSMRP) was a ten-year regional research effort documenting how urbanization affects wetlands. The studies examined the impacts of stormwater on the five major structural components of wetlands: (1) hydrology, (2) water quality, (3) soils, (4) plants, and (5) animals. The fourteen papers in this monograph are divided into four sections: Program Overview, Descriptive Ecology, Assessment of Stormwater Effects, and Management Guidelines.

I am no expert at Lent. If you are looking to me to direct you into "proper" Lenten observance, I suspect that you will be disappointed. I am a bit of a hack at Lent. But I do know a little about following Jesus.
Neglecting Lent will not make Jesus love us any less. Doing Lent cannot make Jesus love us more, but it just might help us to know Jesus and Love him more – which would be worth while.
I have been following some of Jon Swanton's bloggings and thoughts about following Jesus. I enjoy his writing. He is realistic, hard-hitting, loving kind and gentle. He wrote a book a couple of years ago called Lent for Non-Lent People: "33 things to give up for Lent" and other readings. I like the book and wish that I had written it. If you are intrigued by Lent and want to go deeper, that book might be a good way to move forward.
His post, 33 things to give up for Lent is also a way to move forward.
Lent for Non-Lent People: "33 things to give up for Lent" and other readings is available through various channels. I know that there is a version available for use on various readers, i.e. Kindle, etc. if you are so inclined.

Alison Britton, LLB, Dip LP, M.Phil, is a researcher in medical law at the Glasgow University, and the principal full-time researcher on the Physician Assisted Suicide Project made possible with a grant from VESS. International Bar Association Professor Sheila McLean is the Director of the Institute of Law & Ethics in Medicine at Glasgow.
As this article goes to press, it is impossible to describe the enormous interest that the project on physician assisted suicide has generated. We have been inundated with materials and positive support for our research. As well as making our task more interesting and rewarding, it also emphasises the fact that many people welcome a chance to debate the subject and be given the opportunity to express their views.
With just a couple of months until completion of our final report on the project, we thought it may be of interest to give an idea of the report's outline as well as some of our research to date.
Our initial task was to build a framework; a starting point upon which our subsequent research and writing could be based. Our general "structure" therefore, in the early months, was to raise awareness of the fact that this research was being undertaken. Through extensive letter writing, we made our contacts and sought opinions. We wrote to organisations, institutions, Royal Colleges, government departments and anyone who we thought could provide information relevant to the project.
Meanwhile, an extensive literature search was underway. Again, we were surprised at the amount of material available. The number of articles, notes, statutes and cases we have is in the thousands.
As to the report itself, it has been divided into ten chapters. In the next few paragraphs, we have provided quite a bit of detail as to what is covered in the chapters. Hopefully, you will find it thought provoking or at least, interesting.We have begun by tracing the history of, and the rationales for, the prohibition of suicide itself and bringing it up-to-date.
With this in place, the second chapter will explore the tradition of medical ethics, which at first sight seems to prohibit clinical involvement in suicide or providing assistance. The argument will be that the principles of Hippocrates have stood the test of time only in part, and that over the centuries in word and in deed to take account of changes that have occurred. Why these changes have occurred will also be examined. Moreover, the more recently re-stated principles place primary emphasis on the rights and interests of the patient rather than the physician. Thus, they value autonomy, beneficence and non-maleficence. Although autonomy is a clearly definable concept, beneficence and non-maleficence have shown themselves to be subject to interpretation. It is arguable, that the latter two could encapsulate the clinicians' agreement to facilitate an autonomous choice by the patient, as is done in cases such as respecting competent treatment refusals and advance directives, where the outcome is the foreseeable death of the patient.
Chapter 3 will address and analyse the arguments against permitting patients to make such choices at the end of their lives. The chapter will explore the validity of these arguments using both a legal and ethical perspective. Areas of law tangential or parallel to the questions raised by patient choice will be introduced and scrutinized in order to clarify whether or not they are accepted by the law, as well as whether or not they are inherently consistent, philosophically.
Chapter 4 will undertake a similar exercise in respect of the arguments in favour of patient control of these decisions. Once again, the arguments will be approached from a legal and ethical perspective. This chapter will include a summation of chapters three and four concluding that the arguments in favour of patient choice are stronger and more compelling than those raised against it.
Having reviewed all of the above arguments, chapter 5 will seek to define physician assisted suicide. In doing so, attention will be paid to cases, for example, such as that of Sue Rodriguez which have been considered by the courts and elsewhere, and to their arguments and conclusions. Physician assisted suicide will be distinguished from all three possible forms of euthanasia, and the moral differences will be highlighted and analysed.
Chapter 6 will ask whether or not there is a reason why doctors should be involved at all. A number of possible reasons against clinical involvement will be explored, before analysis is made of the medical role. It will be argued that there are strong reasons, which donot conflict with medical ethics, why the clinician is best placed to provide the means, and make the assessment of the appropriateness of, physician assisted suicide.
Chapter 7 will review what went before and explore the areas of the law and professional ethics which require to be modified or changed if physician assisted suicide were to be legalised. The aims of these reforms would be to ensure the lawfulness of the actions of the doctor, the rights of the person seeking assistance and the protection of all others who might be involved.
Chapter 8 may arguably be the one to cause most discussion. It will review the literature already available in respect of attitudes to choices at the end of life. It will include our recent independent research and questionnaire of healthcare professionals and public opinion which was commissioned especially for our report.
Chapter 9 will take a comparative view of those jurisdictions whose legislature or courts have addressed the question of physician assisted suicide. Analysis will be made of their laws, the arguments which preceded or followed their passing and the style of legislative and other intervention utilized.
Chapter 10 will draw together all of the above into a draft bill which would be suitable for the legislative process of the United Kingdom. The Bill will be permissive in nature, and will incorporate all of the consequential legal changes outlined in chapter 7, above.
Following the Frontline Scotland programme which used the findings of our questionnaire, the response rate to it rose to approximately 50%. Such a response rate is almost unheard of in surveys, and it is most gratifying to realise how many people are willing to share their opinions with us. Some respondents went further and supplied us with an additional two or three pages of their individual views. Such enthusiastic participation is going to be a great asset to our final report, allowing us to analyse a broad spectrum of professional and general public opinion.
It was not only the response rate which rose after the programme. The programme gave rise to a huge amount of interest which was by no means confined to Scotland, or for that matter, Britain. The project had coverage from first thing in the morning on breakfast television to the later viewing of Newsnight. Sky Television and American NBC also carried a report. This publicity was well supplemented by every form of media you could imagine; radio broadcasts and newspapers alike besieged our office and jammed the university switchboards.
Things have calmed a little now and we are doing the last of our rounds of letters; this time to the churches, political parties and the Scottish and English Law Commissions. The aforementioned publicity should stimulate a response. Whether the response is of a positive or negative nature is less certain.
As to the next few months and completion, we can only hope that our final report generates as much interest as our preliminary findings.


This report studies the global Game Engines market status and forecast, categorizes the global Game Engines market size (value & volume) by manufacturers, type, application, and region. This report focuses on the top manufacturers in North America, Europe, Japan, China, India, Southeast Asia and other regions (Central & South America, and Middle East & Africa).
The global Game Engines average price is influenced by the global trend. Complete software is usually 0 USDs to 200 USD per month from abroad vendors, if you want to buy new Game Engines. Some of the developers also get money by a smaller share of the game publishers revenue, such as 5%, 30%, etc. The average price will be in decline trend if more vendors go into operation in the future.
Europe and USA are the two largest consumption countries of Game Engines in the world in the past few years and it will keep increasing in the next few years. European and USAs market respectively took up about 29% the global market in 2016, while Japan and Korea are about 13%, and China is followed with the share about 4% as Chinese game developers usually use free game engines.
USA, Germany, China, UK and Japan are now the key developers of Game Engines. There are some vendors with paid engines, but the Chinese market is still controlled by the free engines. And the high quality engines are mainly supplied by overseas producers.
Unity Technologies, Epic Games, Chukong Tech, Crytek, Valve Corporation, YoYo Games, The Game Creators, Marmalade Tech, Idea Fabrik, Leadwerks Software, Sony, Amazon, GameSalad, Scirra, Corona Labs (Organization) and Silicon Studio Corp are the key suppliers in the global Game Engines market.

The Effects Of Alternative Dispute Resolution On Access To Justice In Utah, James R. Holbrook Jun 2006
The Effects Of Alternative Dispute Resolution On Access To Justice In Utah, James R. Holbrook
Utah Law Review
Thousands of cases are resolved every year in Utah by private and court sponsored mediation and other ADR programs, and ADR utilization trends are moving up every year. Since 1990, over 3600 lawyers and non-lawyers have received mediator training in Utah. Clearly, ADR has a growing positive impact on access to justice in this state. However, it is just as clear that ADR by itself does not satisfy the huge and growing unmet needs of moderate-income, low-income, and poor people for dispute resolution services in this state.

Equal Justice From A New Perspective: The Need For A First-Year Clinical Course On Public Interest Mediation, David Dominguez
It really is possible to deliver enough no-cost or low-cost legal problem solving services to provide equal justice. To get there, however, we need to experiment with new strategies and methods to achieve the goal, including the new skill of PIM. My hunch is that if first-year law students can prove to themselves in a clinical setting that public service lawyering can produce a multiplier effect for the greater public good, a new commitment to equal justice will emerge in the legal profession.

John Leo DeGuise, Jr.
Age 59, of Flint, Michigan passed away on June 27, 2022, at home. In accordance with John's wishes, visitation will take place from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm, on July 8, 2022, at Detroit Cremation Society, 8253 S. Saginaw St. Grand Blanc, Michigan 48439, with cremation to follow. Expressions of sympathy may be shared with the family on John's Tribute Wall at detroitcremationsociety.com.
John was born on February 21, 1963, in Grand Forks, North Dakota, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Sr. and Patricia (Culhane) DeGuise. John was affectionately known as "Flip" and "Uncle Beefy" to his nephew and nieces. John married the love of his life, Lora Lee in July 1994. John was an avid hunter and card player. He loved his dog, Bosephis "Bo" and cat, Licorice. John enjoyed riding his Harley and spending time with his family.
Surviving John are his mother; Patricia Braham (Harry), sister; Vickie DeGuise-Hutchisson (Jimmy), nephew; Michael "J" Lloyd, nieces; Amanda Lloyd (Tad), and Brittani DeGuise, step-sons; Billy Brown (Karla), Wayne Brown (Theresa), and David "Weazer" Brown (Tracie), step-mother; Laura DeGuise, and several grandchildren, cousins, and friends.
John was preceded in death by his wife; Lora Lee DeGuise, father; John Sr., and his grandparents.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to help with John's funeral expenses.


Those are the cross-cutting topics which do not fit uniquely into one of the Quality, Safety and Efficacy categories. It includes the ICH medical terminology (MedDRA), the Common Technical Document (CTD) and the development of Electronic Standards for the Transfer of Regulatory Information (ESTRI).
The development of a Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities was approved by the ICH Steering Committee in 1997 and the terminology launched in 1999. Due to the development of this topic over the years, all information about MedDRA and the Points to Consider documents developed for every MedDRA version are available on the MedDRA page under the Work Products.
In November 2016, the Board approved the Working Group's Concept Paper on the extension of the remit for the M1 PtC WG. This proposal aims to develop and maintain a companion document to the PtC documents, available in English and Japanese, which would provide more detailed guidance, examples, and "Questions and Answers" on topics of regulatory importance such as data quality, medication errors, and product quality issues.
The M2 Expert Working Group (EWG) was established by the ICH Steering Committee in 1994 with the objective of facilitating international electronic communication by evaluating and recommending, open and non-proprietary - to the extent possible - Electronic Standards for the Transfer of Regulatory Information (ESTRI) that will meet the requirements of the pharmaceutical companies and regulatory authorities.
Since its establishment the M2 EWG has been involved in a number of activities including: recommendation for use by ICH of various open international standards (M2 Recommendations); ICH development of specifications for electronic messages for the E2B(R2) ICH Guideline on Clinical Safety Data Management Data Elements for Transmission of Individual Case Safety Reports, as well as the M4 Common Technical Document (CTD); and the provision of technical input to the ICH E2B(R3) and M5 EWGs in their activities to progress their respective standards through the Standards Development Organisation (SDO) process.
In November 2010, the ICH Steering Committee modified the mandate of the M2 EWG. Important changes included agreement that work related to the Electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD) be undertaken by a newly established M8 EWG, and that the M2 EWG would no longer be directly involved in the development of technical solutions in relation to topics such as E2B(R3) and M5, but would instead provide the framework for the efficient and effective development of the solutions by groups dedicated to these topics. Under its new mandate, the M2 EWG continues to be responsible for the evaluation and recommendation of standards, and also has responsibility for SDO relationship management.
The recommendations of this revised guidance further harmonise the nonclinical safety studies to support the various stages of clinical development among the regions of European Union (EU), Japan, and the United States. The present guidance represents the consensus that exists regarding the type and duration of nonclinical safety studies and their timing to support the conduct of human clinical trials and marketing authorisation for pharmaceuticals.
While the M3(R2) is still in its early phases of the implementation, the complexity of the guidance, its broader scope, and numerous changes in recommendations from the M3(R1) guidance have generated questions that impact its successful implementation. To clarify the key issues of these document, the Steering Committee has endorsed the establishement of an M3(R2) Implementation Working Group (IWG), which is currently working on the development of Q&As.
The document with the first set of Q&As addressing Limit Dose for Toxicity Studies, Metabolites and Reversibility of Toxicity was finalised under Step 4 in June 2011.
In December 2011, a second set of Q&As addressing Combination Drug Toxicity Testing was developed and approved under Step 4 by the Steering Committee for integration in the Q&A document (M3(R2) Q&As (R1)).
In March 2012, an additional question on Limit Dose for Toxicity Studies and 4 additional sections addressing Safety Pharmacology, Exploratory Clinical Trials, Reproductive Toxicity and Juvenile Animal Studies were approved under Step 4 by the Steering Committee for integration in the Q&A document (M3(R2) Q&As (R2)).
The Common Technical Document was agreed upon by the Steering Committee in November 2000. Due to the development of this topic over the years, all information about the CTD are available on the CTD page under the Work Products.
In November 2003, the ICH Steering Committee endorsed a Concept Paper for Topic M5 and subsequently formed an M5 Expert Working Group (EWG) to develop ICH requirements for the standardisation of medicinal product identifiers and related terminology. In particular, a need was identified to harmonise product information that would facilitate the electronic exchange of Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs) within and across ICH regions using the ICH E2B format in post-marketing pharmacovigilance.
In May 2005, an M5 consensus draft Guideline containing ICH business requirements for medicinal product identifiers, along with lists of controlled vocabularies for Routes of Administration and Units of Measurements, was published for public consultation at Step 2 of the ICH process. To support the electronic exchange of the M5 data elements proposed by the M5 EWG, technical messaging specifications were needed. Electronic messaging development for utilization by the ICH Parties had been the domain of the ICH M2 EWG, but in June 2006 the ICH Steering Committee took a key decision to develop electronic specifications in collaboration with Standards Development Organisations (SDOs). This would enable wider interoperability across regulatory and healthcare communities.
The M5 draft Guideline, updated to reflect feedback from the public consultation, was subsequently submitted to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for development of electronic messaging specifications in February 2007. Work was conducted as a joint initiative with several other SDOs, including Health Level 7 (HL7), and various global stakeholders, including experts with experience on the ICH M5 EWG, were active participants. Abbreviated regional testing was performed by the ICH Parties and five International Standards for Identification of Medicinal Products (IDMP) were finalized and published by ISO in November 2012. These five ISO standards not only meet the original ICH needs for electronic exchange of ICSRs in post-marketing pharmacovigilance, but also support broader functionality.
Having successfully finalised the International Standards for IDMP, the ICH Steering Committee acknowledged the considerable achievements of the M5 EWG and agreed to the sunset of the M5 EWG in June 2013. Subsequently, the ICH Steering Committee formed a new E2B Implementation Working Group (IWG) to facilitate implementation of the new E2B(R3) standard for electronic ICSR exchange. The remit of the E2B IWG includes the use of the five ISO IDMP standards (ISO11238:2012, ISO11239:2012, ISO11240:2012, ISO11615:2012, and ISO11616:2012) only for the purpose of electronic ICSR exchange. Therefore, IDMP maintenance and publication requirements are outside the scope of the E2B IWG.
This new topic was endorsed by the ICH Steering Committee in September 2009.
In September 2009, following the finalisation by the ICH Gene Therapy Discussion Group (GTDG) of the ICH Consideration document "General Principles to Address Virus and Vector Shedding", the ICH Steering Committee endorsed the development of an ICH Guideline on this topic with the aim of providing more extensive information to improve harmonisation amongst the ICH regions. This new topic was subsequently assigned the code "M6". In April 2011, this topic was ceased following SC discussion that concluded due to the current state of science and related resource allocation would not allow this to be supported as a topic for harmonisation.
The ICH M7 Guideline was finalised in 2014 offering guidance on analysis of Structure Activity Relationships (SAR) for genotoxicity. Furthermore, it is intended to resolve questions such as whether impurities with similar alerts that potentially have similar mechanism of action should not be combined in calculating a Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC) and whether the TTC may differ based on differences in the approved duration of use.
To complement this ICH M7 Guideline an Addendum was finalised in 2017 to summarise known mutagenic impurities commonly found or used in drug synthesis. The intent of this Addendum is to provide useful information regarding the acceptable limits of known mutagenic impurities/carcinogenic and supporting monographs.
A maintenance process has been done to incorporate acceptable limits (Acceptable Intakes (AIs) or Permitted Daily Exposures (PDEs)) for new DNA reactive (mutagenic) impurities and revising acceptable limits for impurities already listed in the Addendum as new data becomes available. Data and/or proposals pertaining to the revision of the ICH M7(R1) Guideline with supporting information can be submitted directly to the ICH Secretariat from either an ICH Member or Observer or other interested ICH stakeholders.
The M7(R2) EWG is currently undertaking a maintenance of the Guideline, which will result in the future ICH M7(R2) version.
The M7(R2) Maintenance EWG/IWG is currently undertaking a maintenance of the M7(R1) Guideline to incorporate acceptable limits (Acceptable Intakes (AIs) or Permitted Daily Exposures (PDEs)) for new DNA reactive (mutagenic) impurities and revising acceptable limits for impurities already listed in the Addendum as new data becomes available, which will result in the future ICH M7(R2) version.
In November 2018, the Assembly endorsed the new area of work of the M7(R2) Maintenance EWG/IWG as outlined in the revised Concept Paper which was approved by the ICH Management Committee. As a result, Q&As will be developed to clarify and address Quality and Safety issues and concerns that have been identified from experience through implementation of M7 since its publication in 2014.
ICH M8 EWG was formed in Nov 2010 to take over the development and revision of eCTD v4.0 Implementation Guide and related documents from the ICH M2 eCTD Subgroup. The eCTD v4.0 requirements were addressed by the Standard Development Organisation process and are included in the Health Level Seven Version 3 Regulated Product Submission Release 2 Normative standard. At the ICH Jacksonville meeting in December 2015, the ICH eCTD v4.0 Implementation Package v1.0 and Specification for Submission Formats for eCTD v1.0 was signed off for Step 4 by the Assembly. The package was updated to v1.1 to incorporate minor edits before being published. While the v4.0 is the latest version of the eCTD, v3.2.2, originally released by ICH in July 2008, is still made available in view of time needed for users to transition to the updated version.
The M8 EWG also provides technical review and impact assessment of issues arising from the use of the ICH M4 CTD Guidelines within the context of the eCTD. This activity includes an update of M4 Annex: Granularity Document in accordance with the agreement by appropriate M4 Working Group whereas the Granularity Document continues to be owned by M4.
ICH M8 IWG was established in conjunction with the formation of M8 EWG in Nov 2010, and assumed the responsibility for the implementation and maintenance of eCTD and Study Tagging File specifications from the ICH M2 eCTD Subgroup. The IWG is also responsible for implementation and maintenance of other M8 EWG deliverables (e.g., Specification for Submission Format for eCTD).
This new multidisciplinary guideline is proposed to address Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS)-based biowaivers. BCS-based biowaivers may be applicable to BCS Class I and III drugs, however BCS-based biowaivers for these two classes are not recognized worldwide. This means that pharmaceutical companies have to follow different approaches in the different regions. This guideline will provide recommendations to support the biopharmaceutics classification of medicinal products and will provide recommendations to support the waiver of bioequivalence studies. This will result in the harmonisation of current regional guidelines/guidance and support streamlined global drug development.
This new multidisciplinary guideline will apply to the validation of bioanalytical methods and study sample analyses in non-clinical and clinical studies. Reliable data derived through validated bioanalytical methods are key for the review of marketing authorisation application. This guideline will provide recommendations on the scientific regulatory requirements for bioanalysis conducted during the development of drugs of both chemical and biological origins. It will also address issues on method validation by considering the characteristics of the analytical methods used in bioanalysis, e.g., chromatographic assay and ligand binding assay. A harmonised Bioanalytical method validation guideline will promote the prompt, rational and effective non-clinical and clinical studies, thereby advancing the mission of the ICH.
This topic was endorsed by the ICH Management Committee in November 2018.

Facetune maker Lightricks brings its popular selfie retouching features to video – TechCrunch
by Our Source | Aug 4, 2020 | Apps | 0 comments
Lightricks, the startup behind a suite of photo and video editing apps — including most notably, selfie editor Facetune 2 — is taking its retouching capabilities to video. Today, the company is launching Facetune Video, a selfie video editing app, that allows users to retouch and edit their selfie and portrait videos using a set of A.I.-powered tools.
While there are other selfie video editors on the market, most today are generally focused on edits involving filters and presets, virtually adding makeup, or using AR or stickers to decorate your video in some way. Facetune Video, meanwhile, is focused on creating a photorealistic video by offering a set of features similar to those found in Lightricks' flagship app, Facetune .
That means users are able to retouch their face with tools for skin smoothing, teeth whitening, and face reshaping, plus eye color, makeup, conceal, glow, and matte features. In addition, users can tweak tools for general video edits, like adjusting the brightness, contrast, color, and more, like other video editing apps allow for. And these edits can be applied in real-time to see how they look as the video plays, instead of after the fact.
In addition, users can apply the effect to one frame only and Facetune Video's post-processing technology and neural networks will simultaneously apply an effect to the same area of every frame throughout the entire video, making it easier to quickly retouch a problem area without having to go frame-by-frame to do so.
"In Facetune Video, the 3D face model plays a significant role; users edit only one video frame, but it's on us, behind-the-scenes, to automatically project the location of their edits to 2D face mesh coordinates derived from the 3D face model, and then apply them consistently on all other frames in the video," explains Lightricks co-founder and CEO Zeev Farbman. "A Lightricks app needs to be not only powerful, but fun to use, so it's critical to us that this all happens quickly and seamlessly," he says.
Users can also save their favorite editing functions as "presets" allowing them to quickly apply their preferred settings to any video automatically.
In a future version of the app, the company plans to introduce a "heal" function which, like Facetune, will allow users to easily remove blemishes.

The technology that makes these selfie video edits work involves Lightricks' deep neural networks that utilize facial feature detection and geometry analysis for the app's retouching capabilities. These processes work in real-time without having to transmit data to the cloud first. There's also no lag or delay while files are rendering.
In addition, Facetune Video uses the facial feature detection along with 3D face modeling A.I. to ensure that every part of the user's face is captured for editing and retouching, the company says.
"What we're also doing is taking advantage of lightweight neural networks. Before the user has even begun to retouch their selfie video, A.I.-powered algorithms are already working so that the user experience is quick and interactive," says Farbman.
The app also does automated segmentation of more complex parts of the face like the interior of the eye, hair, or the lips, which helps it achieve a more accurate end result.
"It's finding a balance between accuracy in the strength of the face modeling we use, and speed," Farbman adds.
One challenge here was overcoming the issue of jittering effects, which is when the applied effect shakes as the video plays. The company didn't want its resulting videos to have this problem, which makes the end result look gimmicky, so it worked to eliminate any shake-like effects and other face tracking issues so videos would look more polished and professional in the end.
The app builds off the company's existing success and brand recognition with Facetune. With the new app, for example, the retouch algorithms mimic the original Facetune 2 experience, so users familiar with Facetune 2 will be able to quickly get the hang of the retouch tools.
The launch of the new app expands Lightricks further in the direction of video, which has become a more popular way of expressing yourself across social media, thanks to the growing use of apps like TikTok and features like Instagram Stories, for example.
Before, Lightricks' flagship video product, however, was Videoleap, which focused on more traditional video editing, and not selfie videos where face retouching could be used.
Facetune has become so widely used, its name has become a verb — as in, "she facetunes her photos." But it has also been criticized at times for its unrealistic results. (Of course, that's more on the app's users sliding the smoothing bar all the way to end.)
Across its suite of apps, which includes the original Facetune app (Facetune Classic), Facetune 2, Seen (for Stories), Photofox, Video Leap, Enlight Quickshot, Pixaloop, Boosted, and others, including a newly launched artistic editor, Quickart, the company has generated over 350 million downloads.
Its apps also now reach nearly 200 million users worldwide. And through its subscription model, Lightricks is now seeing what Farbman describes as revenues that are "increasing exponentially year-over-year," but that are being continually reinvested into new products.
Like its other apps, Facetune Video will monetize by way of subscriptions. The app is free to use by will offer a VIP subscription for more features, at a price point of $8 per month, $36 per year, or a one-time purchase of $70.
Facetune 2 subscribers will get a discount on annual subscriptions, as well. The company will also sell the app in its Social Media Kit bundle on the App Store, which includes Facetune Video, Facetune 2, Seen and soon, an undisclosed fourth app. However, the company isn't yet offering a single subscription that provides access to all bundled apps.

NECESITAMOS COMENZAR A ENTENDER QUE SON OTRA PARTE MÁS DE NUESTRO MUNDO, UNA PARTE DIVERSA, INCREÍBLE Y MÁGICA.
PUEDES ECHARLE UN OJO AL LUGAR AL QUE ESTOY DONANDO DINERO. PERO OS ANIMO A QUE BUSQUÉIS EL REFUGIO MÁS CERCANO, LA ONG QUE MEJOR TRABAJE, O QUE SEÁIS VOLUNTARIOS EN VUESTRO ENTORNO.

Santa Clara, Calif. – Nov. 15, 2017 – Cohesity, the pioneer of hyperconverged secondary storage, today announced that Cohesity DataPlatform Cloud Edition now runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS). By extending the capabilities of its web-scale platform that enables businesses to run all secondary workloads seamlessly across on-premises and cloud infrastructures, Cohesity continues to meet the growing demand for efficient and easy-to-manage hybrid solutions.
Tweet this: .@Cohesity Announces Availability of Cohesity DataPlatform Cloud Edition on @AWScloud: https://ctt.ec/ht34u
Cohesity customers can now manage all their secondary storage workloads including backup, disaster recovery, application/data mobility, and test/dev with a hybrid solution spanning on-premises data centers and AWS.
The new capability builds on the existing functionality that enables customers to archive or tier their on-premises backup data to AWS. With Cohesity DataPlatform now running on AWS, customers can instantly recover virtual machines (VMs) in the cloud, and provision test/dev instances for developers. Cohesity Cloud Edition can also be deployed in AWS to back up on-premises applications and send all backup data directly to AWS.
Cohesity DataPlatform can be deployed on AWS on cloud VMs in minutes, and linearly scale both performance and capacity with additional cloud VMs that can be added non-disruptively.
Cohesity will be running a webcast on Dec. 5 where you can learn more about Cohesity DataPlatform Cloud Edition on AWS and the associated capabilities and benefits. You can also learn about the joint solution via a new blog post on the Cohesity website.
Cohesity will be exhibiting at AWS re:Invent in booth #505 from Nov. 27 through Dec. 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"Cohesity has delivered an outstanding solution for our secondary storage and data replication to AWS required in disaster recovery," said Tim Duff, system administrator, Annenberg Public Policy Center, University of Pennsylvania. "We have realized additional cost savings by consolidating several other data backup/replication software and hardware components, which has been critical to our organization. The availability of Cohesity Cloud Edition on AWS will enable us to further our move to a hybrid solution that spans from on-premises to the cloud."
"The interest in hyperconverged infrastructure continues to grow at a rapid pace, especially in the secondary storage space where there is an opportunity to streamline data protection and management," said Henry Baltazar, research vice president, 451 Research. "The availability of the Cohesity DataPlatform Cloud Edition on AWS facilitates the creation of hybrid solutions for enterprises, that can enable them to address a variety of use cases including backup, disaster recovery, test/dev, and application mobility."

2006 Franklin Coin & Chronicles Set
Mint(s): Philadelphia
Composition: Various
Diameter: Various
Mintage: 50,000
A Special Release on his 300th Anniversary
The special release in 2006 of the Benjamin Franklin Silver Dollars came in commemoration of the tercentenary of his birth.

The first of the two coins to be produced was known as the 2006 "Scientist" Silver Dollar and displayed a young version of Benjamin Franklin; the second silver dollar minted the same year featuring an older image of Benjamin Franklin gained the moniker "The Founding Father" Silver Dollar.
The Ultimate Franklin Collector's Set
Each of these sets includes the uncirculated version of the "Scientist" Silver Dollar from the United States Mint, a set of four postage stamps released in 2006 to commemorate each of the integral roles he played in the fledgling United States of America (printer, scientist, diplomat, and postmaster general) from the United States Postal Service. Alongside the coins and stamps this set also includes an intaglio print honoring Franklin's role in signing the Declaration of Independence from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, as well as a reproduction of his iconic printed work the "Poor Richard's Almanack" from the U.S. Government Printing Office.
This set is any collector or Benjamin Franklin lover's dream. You not only get the extremely sought after 2006 Benjamin Franklin "Scientist" Silver Dollar in uncirculated condition, but you also get six other highly collectible pieces from three separate government agencies all honoring the great man and legacy that was Benjamin Franklin.

Pentagon says transgender people can enlist starting in January, after court order
Dwayne Harmon
David Eastburn, a Pentagon spokesman, said the enlistment of transgender recruits will start January 1 and continue until such time as the courts rule otherwise.
Last week, the Pentagon said Tuesday it is preparing to accept transgender military recruits in the New Year following federal court orders that President Donald Trump can not ban transgender recruits from the military.
Last month, after a motion by the Trump administration, Kollar-Kotelly issued a follow-up ruling clarifying the earlier one that said the injunction means the military must accept transgender recruits by January 1, as it had planned to do prior to Trump's ban. On Monday, she declined a request from the Trump administration to lift the injunction based on the administration's argument it needs more time to prepare to process new transgender recruits for military service.
A federal judge cleared the way Monday for the Defense Department to begin taking in transgender recruits January 1.
But the AP's tweet failed to disclose that the Pentagon didn't decide to allow transgender individuals in the military.
"The Court finds that the policy prohibiting openly transgender individuals from serving in the military is likely unconstitutional", the court order read.
Potential transgender recruits will have to overcome a lengthy and strict set of physical, medical and mental conditions that could make it hard for them to join the armed services.
Maj. David Eastburn, a Pentagon spokesman, said the enlistment of transgender recruits will begin next month and proceed amid legal battles.
In a statement, the Defense Department acknowledged that it would comply with the court order, but that it meant to continue "actively pursuing relief". As part of rules instituted by former Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, applicants who have a history of gender dysphoria have to be "stable without clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning for 18 months".
Transgender individuals receiving hormone therapy also must be stable on their medication for 18 months. High ranking military leaders who oversaw training when the military made the first changes to transgender service policies have said the military is ready to accept transgender enlistees.
However, Elaine Donnelly, president for the Center For Military readiness, said Trump "has every right to review, revise, or repeal his predecessor's military transgender policies, which would detract from mission readiness and combat lethality".
"Especially in light of the record evidence showing, with specifics, that considerable work has already been done, the Court is not convinced by the vague claims in [the administration's] declaration that a stay is needed", she said. "That's really where the controversy will lie".
"It doesn't have any basis in science", he said, noting that experts have suggested six months is enough. "And that's a reasonable position and defensible".
"There is no valid reason to deny transgender people the right to serve their country".
