At the beginning of April, I had the pleasure to attend The Bloom Workshop in Los Gatos. It was a day filled with inspiration, creativity and so much learning! The ladies behind the workshop Michaela Warner and Ashley Slater, curated a perfect event with a really fun energy, great tips, and gorgeous design. It was held at the picturesque Regale Winery in the Los Gatos Hills. I met 35+ women who ranged from professional photographers to planners to jewelry designers. What a perk!
I also dusted off the DSLR and re-learned how to use her. I'll warn you, these images are not edited... I'm still working that out! I just couldn't wait to share them and share my love for this workshop!
Enjoy, and if ever interested, I highly recommend attending a workshop like this - it will have you rethinking your business, and may even change your life a little. (It did mine!) If you WERE to ever attend one of these, what would you hope to learn or walk-away with after the day?

a hierarchical finite state machine library.
StatePy is an event driven hierarchical finite state machine library that lets you easily design, build, and analyze state machines. It represents individuals states as classes, and by default uses static transition tables. The tables are simple python dicts maping events, which can be any hashable type, to the next state. Member functions of the state classes are called upon entering, upon exiting, and on every transition.


Crucial to the concept of this volcano compilation was the existence of a consistent set of Landsat Thematic Mapper images covering the entire Central Volcanic Zone: a Landsat image forms the key component of each volcano description. 29 TM scenes were obtained to cover the region (Figure 3). Several acquisitions of one quad covering Lascar volcano, north Chile (VCA no. 27), were obtained to study changes in the volcano related to the eruption of September 16, 1986 (Francis & Rothery, 1987). An additional acquistion was obtained of Sabancaya (VCA no. 2) to investigate possible changes during the 1988 activity. One night-time scene was acquired of north Chile to investigate possible thermal inertia effects. These TM scenes formed by far the most important data source used in this study. Fieldwork supported by conventional air photography was carried out in a number of selected areas to provide ground truth for the TM data. Supplementary data sources which have been useful include the experimental Modular Optoelectronic Multispectral Scanner (MOMS-01) flown on Space Shuttle missions STS-7 (June 1983) and STS-11 (February 1984). The most useful attribute of the MOMS data proved to be the serendipitous low angle, westerly illumination (Rothery & Francis, 1987). SPOT images of two volcanoes (Socompa and Llullaillaco; VCA 33 and 34) and of the La Pacana Caldera (VCA section 4.2) have also been acquired. The 20 m resolution multispectral SPOT data proved to have little advantage over the TM data, but the 10 m resolution panchromatic stereo SPOT images represented a powerful additional means of making morphological and textural studies.
The first Thematic Mapper instrument (Figure 4) was flown on the American remote sensing satellite, Landsat 4 launched on July 16, 1982, which is now moribund. A second instrument is still functioning (1990) aboard Landsat 5, launched March 1, 1984. Both satellites orbit at at altitude of 705 km, in sun-synchronous orbits whose ground tracks precess westwards at the same rate as the sunrise; thus they provide coverage of all areas at approximately the same local time of day, about 10 a.m. (Figure 5). Any given point on the Earth's surface can be viewed by each satellite once every 16 days. Image data acquired from the satellite are down linked to ground stations directly, if the ground stations are near by, or else via the TDRS (Tracking and Data Relay Satellite systems) to ground stations at distant points, such as the principle receiving station at NASA's Goddard facility (Figure 6). Because of the huge data stream generated by the sensors, images are not recorded continuously, but are only acquired for specific areas according to the needs of individual investigators or agencies. Under the Reagan adminstration, the US civilian remote sensing program was commercialised, and the EOSAT corporation now markets and distributes image data.
A full scene covers an area 185 x 185 km and is marketed in four quadrants. Each scene is imaged in 7 different wavelength bands (TM bands 1-7), from the visible to the near infra-red (Table I). The field of view is scanned mechanically using a moving mirror, with 16 detectors at each wavelength recieving the input radiance. Data at each wavelength is quantised over 256 DNs (digital numbers). Each scan line is divided into 6,320 samples, and there are 5,964 lines in each scene. Thus, a full TM scene consists of 2.7 x 107 pixels (picture elements) for each band. A pixel can be thought of as representing an area of 30 x 30 m on the ground, but in practice any one pixel recieves some radiance from adjacent pixels. For a full explanation of remote sensing techniques, terminology and analysis, refer to standard texts such as Sabins (1986).
Band 1 0.45-0.52 musch atmos. scattering; "blue"
Band 4 0.76-0.90 Photographic IR; green; vegetation prominent.
In preparing Volcanoes of the Central Andes, color images created from combinations of TM bands 7, 4 and 2, covering much of the spectral range and displayed in red, green and blue (RGB) respectively, proved to be both easy to interpret and aesthetically pleasing. A few images were prepared using bands 5,4 and 2. Details of the TM data used are provided in Appendix I.
First, snow and ice on the high volcanoes tend to saturate the shorter wavelength bands (1-4), limiting interpretability. Fortunately, at these wavelengths water absorbs rather than reflects radiation, and thus TM bands 5 and 7 are useful for subtle morphological studies on the snow covered parts of volcanoes. In a typical RGB color composite image created from TM bands 7, 4 and 2, snow appears bluish, because it is 'dark' in the red component, contributed by Band 7.
Second, because oxidised iron compounds such as limonite are extremely bright in the short wavelength infra red (TM bands 5 and 7) volcanic phenomena such as oxidised lava or scoria are extremely conspicuous, and thus some individual units are very easy to discriminate and correlate (Townsend, 1987). This spectral capability has been utilised for some more specific tasks: discriminating lithological units within debris avalanche deposits, and in detecting evidence of hydothermal alteration in fumarolic deposits.
Socompa volcano (VCA no. 33) provides a good illustration of the spectral capabilities of the TM system. The debris avalanche deposit from the volcano is the best exposed large avalanche deposit in the world. Although emplaced 7,200 yr BP, the deposit is exceptionally well preserved in the arid Andean environment. From a remote sensing viewpoint, the most interesting aspect of the deposit is the wide range of spectrally varied lithologies within the deposit (Figure 7). TM data have been invaluable in mapping the areal extents of different lithologies and thus tracing the trajectories of individual avalanche components back to the source regions on the volcano.
Most of the deposit is composed of clasts of dacite lava of different ages and provenances, together with ignimbrite from the sub-volcanic basement. Most prominent on the image are trains of oxidised dacite boulders which appear red to the naked eye and are bright in the short wavelength infrared. More important volcanologically are narrow streaks that are dark in all wavelengths; field inspection shows that these trains correspond to boulder trains of fresh, glassy black dacite. Many of the boulders exhibit 'breadcrust' and prismatic jointing structures, and they are clear evidence that there was hot magmatic material present within the volcano at the time of collapse. P>A lithology which was generally of high albedo but with a marked absorption in Band 7 presented more challenging problems of interpretation. The lithology was identified in small patches only in the north-eastern part of the volcano, and it was interpreted initially as being derived from an area of hydrothermal alteration within the volcano. Field studies showed that this interpretation was erroneous, and that the deposits were composed of a mixture of chert, diatomite and carbonate material, clearly formed in a fresh-water lake and derived from sediments from the sub-volcanic basement.
Socompa is the volcano which we have studied most closely in purely remote sensing terms. Our work there emphasizes that the TM is remarkably useful in discriminating between volcanic rock units, largely as a consequence of varying degrees of iron oxidation. It is much more difficult to identify different lithologies - in TM terms, a fresh, glassy, dacite lava has similar spectral characteristics to a fresh basalt.
We have shown elsewhere that emitted thermal radiance from high temperature (> 400ºC) volcanic thermal features can be unambiguously detected in TM bands 7 and 5, and that the sizes and temperatures of the anomalies can be constrained (Francis & Rothery, 1987; Glaze et al., 1989).
It might seem logical that the TM's thermal infra red sensor (Band 6) would be of most value in detecting active volcanoes, and would therefore play a prominent role in this compilation. Unfortunately, however, the 120 m pixel size of the Band 6 sensor greatly limits its utility in this respect, since magmatic thermal anomalies are typically much smaller than this. Furthermore, Matson & Dozier (1981) have shown that while it is possible to detect thermal anomalies which are much smaller than the pixel size, this requires that the anomalies are sufficiently hot that the anomalous pixels can be distinguished from the background. On the day time data that are routinely available, only gross thermal anomalies can be distinguished from the background of solar warming. Several of the volcanoes in the study area are known to possess persistent, low temperature steam fumaroles (< 100 ºC), such as that on Ollague volcano, Chile (VCA no. 18). We have been unable to detect these low temperature anomalies even on night time data. This is most likely due to the combination of the relatively low temperatures of the thermal sources, their small size, and the large pixel size of the Band 6 sensor.
The thermal band has proved useful for monitoring lake water temperatures as illustrated by a study of Cerro Bonete, Argentina (CVA section 4.4). Derivation of surface temperatures from remotely sensed thermal infra-red data in the absence of ground and atmospheric reference parameters can only be carried out approximately. The measured at-satellite radiance can be derived from the raw data using known sensor calibration data, but derivation of the at-surface radiance requires assumptions concerning atmospheric temperature and transmission coefficients (Markham and Barker, 1986).
Image data was routinely processed at the image processing laboratory of the Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston using a Gould DeAnza system and processed images were written to film using an Optronics film writer. Linearly stretched false color composite images of TM bands 7,4 and 2 (in R, G and B respectively) further enhanced by spatial filtering, decorrelation stretches, and hue-intensity-saturation stretches were employed. Typical images presented in this compilation are composed of either 512 samples and 512 lines, covering an area about 15 km square on the ground, or else 1,024 samples and 1,024 lines, covering an area on the ground roughly 30 km square. For Socompa volcano, we have co-registered digitised 1:50,000 air photographs with TM data, and also used digital topography to construct a digital elevation model and then combined this with TM data (Figure 8). Using the TM image as a template, the pre-collapse topography of the volcano has been reconstructed, and the volume of the avalanche deposit calculated.
(1) The 30 m pixel size, which permits possible subtle morphological interpretations not possible with 80 m pixel size MSS data. For example, we had noted the presence of an unusual deposit south of Tata Sabaya volcano, Bolivia, on early MSS images. When the higher resolution TM data were available , the hummocky topography of the deposit revealed unambiguously that it was a large volcanic debris avalanche deposit (Francis & Ramirez, 1985).
(2) The synoptic view, so that a given structure can be studied in its entireity within the scope of a single TM quad. This attribute is particularly important for structural studies of large silicic calderas such as Pastos Grandes, Bolivia (Francis & de Silva, 1989; section 4.2).
(3) The standardised coverage. All of the Central Andean region is covered by the same data set. Attempting to cover the same area with aerial photography would be fraught with difficulties, not least of which are the political problems of dealing with four seperate nations and their various regulations covering access to and dissemination of air photographs of frontier areas.
Given the fixed, sun-synchronous nadir-looking views provided by the TM and its essentially one-time coverage, the variability afforded by the large numbers of Shuttle photographs provided a valuable means of making subtle morphological interpretations of features which were equivocal on TM scenes. The most important single use of the Shuttle photography was in subsidiary detailed studies of large volcanic debris avalanches. Following a special request, astronauts were able to identify the Socompa avalanche deposit from orbit, and obtain stereo photographic coverage which was valuable in interpretating the complex topography of the deposit. Since TM images are always obtained at mid-morning, with illumination from the east, Shuttle photographs obtained at different times of day, and particularly in the afternoon and evening, provided important additional perspectives of subtle topographic features. Fifteen previously unknown avalanche deposits were discovered using a combination of TM images and Shuttle photography (Francis et al., 1985, Francis & Wells, 1988). Others have been discovered during the preparation of Volcanoes of the Central Andes. In the Volcanoes of the Central Andes we have used several shuttle photographs to provide a regional perspective to the volcanoes we describe, as well as to highlight specific features which are particularly well illustrated on the image.
Where possible, we have included conventional ground and air photographs, since the different scales and viewpoints offered by such photographs often help considerably in the interpretation of the satellite images. We are grateful to our many friends and colleagues who helped in supplying these photographs, and they are credited in the appropriate places.
Excellent topographic maps on scales of 1:50,000 exist for some parts of north Chile. Elsewhere in Chile, Bolivia and south Peru maps on scales of 1:250,000 are available. For northwest Argentina a few maps are available at 1;200,000, but for the most part 1: 1,000,000 Operational Navigation aeronautical charts had to be used. We have tried to include extracts from the best available topographic maps in each volcano entry.

This may be what it looks like when some people decide to make a career in fitness, but for most, I imagine it's much more complex. If you are serious, it should be.
Here are the first 3 of 5 steps in becoming a personal trainer.
Step 1: Understand what makes a successful personal trainer.
Over the last decade in observing and developing personal trainers, I've learned some simple characteristics that ensure their success.
As much as you may think your clients will value you because you give them physical results, there is another hidden value that trainers don't understand until they have been in the industry for a while. It's the relationship. People stick with you because they like you. So, you have to be likable. To be likeable, you have to be loving. Loving someone requires being thoughtful and intentional about your relationship with them. This is what makes a personal trainer successful.
This is a pretty heavy topic to discuss and a sensitive one because it's a very biased category for discussion. Considering all this, the best I can do is be neutral, but honest.
Here are a couple of bullet points to ask yourself when shopping for a cert.
Is it a national/international certification?
What are the continuing education requirements to renew the certificate?
Is there a specific club you want to work for? If so, find out what certifications they require or recognize before taking the test.
I personally don't feel you should spend more than $800-$1200 for a certification and the certification shouldn't be a simple 1-2 day workshop. A good cert should require a considerable investment of time, study, and commitment to achieve.
Although it comes down to 2 main career paths for fitness professionals, there are many options in finding a job as a trainer. Really, you have 2 roads, work for yourself or work behind another brand. Here are the main jobs that trainers in this day and age fall in to.
Commercial Gyms – Lifetime Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, Gold's Gym, L.A. Fitness, the Globo Gyms ; ) Being behind a large brand like this allows you to have a significant amount of exposure to gym members and you are around other trainers daily. These are good things. The catch, they are low pay from commission, strict sales goals, and very structured.
Personal Training Studios – There are studios that focus on personal and small group training only. This is normally a "rent" scenario. You have all the freedom and independence that you can ask for, but you have very little support and it's up to you in making a paycheck.
The next batch of suggestions are a little more difficult to fall in to because of availability. I find getting your foot in the door here is about who you know or just good timing. The pros are you can have a salary, but the primary con is that there is a glass ceiling in growth opportunities.
Work for yourself or be mobile – Lastly, a common avenue for trainers is to create a business under their own name. Here you have the freedom to train at parks, home sessions, etc. The disadvantage here is you are an entrepreneur fending for yourself.
An upcoming option for trainers is a hybrid model such as franchising or licensing a space. Here you can get the best of both worlds, freedom & independence along with support & branding.
We have over 30 trainers in 4 cities.
Our highest paid trainers make $8-10K/month.
Our most common trainer feedback is that they love their freedom.
Our average apartment community houses 300 units. At least half of those have a roommate. If you engage just 5% of those people, that's over 20 people. If you convert 50% of those prospects, you have yourself 10 happy clients.
Thank you for reading and please share, subscribe, and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

Army Revises Failing Substance Abuse Program
The Army has announced changes to its drug and alcohol program, placing substance abuse treatment back under the watch of medical professionals, rather than the Army's Installation Management Command, which lacks medical expertise.
The accouncement came after an investigation by USA Today showed that Army's substance abuse program was "in disarray." Last year, 7,000 people who saught help through the program were turned away, and since 2010, 90 Army soldiers have committed suicide withing three months of recieving substance abuse help through the program.
Under the revised program, treatment will have a more medical focus.
"They're finally going to bring some reasonable and responsible action to help soldiers," Dr. Patrick Lillard, a psychiatrist and former clinical director of the Army's largest in-patient substance abuse program at Fort Gordon, Ga., told USA Today.
"It means that the direction of the substance abuse treatment program will be back in the province of medical people rather than command, so that decisions will be made by medical people" said Lillard, a vocal critic of the earlier change in management. "The people in command do not understand the nature of the (substance abuse) disease and the complications that occur."

Americans Taking More Prescriptions Than Ever


I typically don't consider taking my nutritional supplements as a seasonal exercise, but as we approach autumn, I am always conscious of my vitamin D3 intake. Vitamin D is one of the vitamins that our bodies can produce. Your body will produce vitamin D from cholesterol when your bare skin is exposed to sunlight, but this is the time of year when we begin to get less and less exposure to the sun.
Your geographic location can also affect the amount of vitamin D that your body will make. I live in Florida, around latitude 26. During a 30 walk my body will make around 20,000IU of vitamin D. If you live in New York, or Denver or Seattle, your body will make a fraction of that amount.
In autumn, doctors begin seeing more cases of SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder. SAD is a form of depression that is related to seasonal changes. Most people will experience SAD symptoms at the start of Autumn and continue through the winter months. Several studies done in Massachusetts show that Vitamin D level is associated with vitamin D deficiency.
Vitamin D is an extremely active vitamin. Researchers tend to think of vitamin D as more of a hormone than a vitamin. Vitamin D controls about 2,000 gene switches in our bodies, and it plays an important role in our emotional state. Depending which study you read, forty to sixty percent of Americans have inadequate levels of vitamin D. The reason for this epidemic is not surprising when you think about it.
First, Vitamin D deficiency is, usually, a result of insufficient exposure to sunlight. Your body produces vitamin D when your bare skin is exposed to the UVB rays of the sun. Unfortunately, people today are trying to avoid to the sun. If they were in the sun, most people would slather themselves with SPF 50 sunscreens. If you use a sunblock of SPF 8 or higher, you will actually reduce your body's production of vitamin D by as much as 95%.
Another reason for the silent epidemic of vitamin D deficiency is there are remarkably few foods that are rich sources of vitamin D. Oily fish, like salmon or sardines is the exception. If fish is a major component of your diet, you may have adequate vitamin D levels for optimal health. There are also age-related changes in the skin that need to be considered. As you age, your body's ability to make vitamin D declines.
Vitamin D is naturally produced from cholesterol when your bare skin is exposed to sunlight. Many elderly people have been put on cholesterol lowering drugs, and this may be a limiting factor in your natural vitamin D production. Perhaps we are too preoccupied with our cholesterol numbers to entertain the notion that a vitamin D deficiency could have far ranged effects on your health. At one time, all we knew about vitamin D was that we needed minimal levels to prevent a bone disease known as rickets. Since then, research has uncovered a laundry list of health conditions that are linked to vitamin D levels.
Recently, there has been increasing interest in the role that Vitamin D plays in overall health, and topics of discussion are varied. Vitamin D deficiency is being linked to everything from the common cold to cancer.
Researchers at the University of Colorado followed 19,000 people to determine if Vitamin D levels could predict the common cold. Researchers found an inverse relationship to vitamin D levels and the incidence of the common cold. The data showed that participants with the lowest levels of Vitamin D were more likely to have recently suffered from a cold or respiratory infection, than those with vitamin D levels within the acceptable range. A low level of vitamin D was even more impressive in people with asthma or COPD. People with the least vitamin D showed a six-fold increase in asthma and a three-fold increase in COPD, than those with the highest vitamin D levels.
Researchers from the University of California San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine summarized studies that showed the same inverse relationship between vitamin D and cancer. The researchers believed that adequate levels of vitamin D could prevent up to 39% of all cancers, with the biggest impact on breast cancer, colon cancer and the most aggressive types of prostate cancer. Additionally, the report noted that adequate levels of vitamin D could significantly reduce the incidence of juvenile-onset diabetes, an auto-immune disease, also known type I diabetes.
Findings published in the International Journal of Cancer indicate high concentrations of plasma vitamin D are associated with a significantly reduced risk of breast cancer for pre-menopausal women.
According to Dr. Jenny Chang-Claude of the German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg, the anticancer properties of vitamin D are well established. There is mounting evidence that shows vitamin D can influence normal cell differentiation while inhibiting cell proliferation through the regulation of apoptosis, a process of programmed cell death for a typical cell.
Vitamin D deficiency is an important topic.
More than half of the American population is suspected to have less than adequate levels of vitamin D in their blood. I covered this issue on my radio show, The Natural Health Hour, in an interview with Dr. Marc Sorenson. Dr. Sorenson wrote the book on Vitamin D. His latest book, Vitamin D3 and Solar Power for Optimal Health, is the first book written on vitamin D for the layman. Dr. Sorenson analyzed more than 800 medical and scientific resources during the course of his research on the book and traced 105 diseases that are linked to inadequate vitamin D.
I take 5,000IU of supplemental vitamin D daily. During this time of year, I raise my supplemental vitamin D intake to 10,000IU daily. Vitamin plays an important role in maintaining immune system vigilance. We will be entering the flu season soon, and it is important to keep our immune system ready for whatever bacteria or virus that tries to invade your body.

Talking with Tact is about what you say and how you say it.
A quick look at Talking with Tact will help you get clearer about what your thoughts and feelings are and how to deliver them in a way that increases your chances of other people considering what you have to say.
When you don't use tact, you either hold back from expressing yourself, or deliver your message in a way that tends to come across as attacking or threatening. Tact involves expressing your thoughts and feelings (to others and even to yourself) with a combination of honesty and respect.
I became interested in communication when I had my first child because I didn't want to parent the way I had been parented and I realized healthy communication was a key to good parenting. I taught my first communication class about thirty years ago and further developed how to teach healthy communication after I earned degrees in Psychology and Counseling. The contents of my communication booklets have been honed and revised over many years of working with couples in my counseling private practice. My goal is always to present the how-to information clearly and simply so that it is easy to grasp and put into action.
A quick look at Talking With Tact can be used on its own or with its companion product: Emotional Intelligence Booster.

Q: file is using by another process I'm a newbie on c# programming. I have a problem when I'm using FileStream. I want to retrieve picture from the database by searching ID of person in the database. AND IT WORKS!!. but when I try to retrieve picture of the person twice (inserting same ID twice). it will give IOException
"The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\dor\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\studbase\studbase\bin\Debug\foto.jpg' because it is being used by another process."

I have 1 button --> buttonLoad |
       1 pictureBox --> pictureBoxPictADUStudent
this is the code on buttonLoad
        string sql = "SELECT Size,File,Name FROM studgeninfo WHERE NIM = '"+textBoxNIM.Text+"'";
        MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection(connectionSQL);
        MySqlCommand comm = new MySqlCommand(sql, conn);

        if (textBoxNIM.Text != "")
        {
            conn.Open();
            MySqlDataReader data = comm.ExecuteReader();

            while (data.Read())
            {

                int fileSize = data.GetInt32(data.GetOrdinal("size"));
                string name = data.GetString(data.GetOrdinal("name"));

                using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(name, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
                {
                        byte[] rawData = new byte[fileSize];
                        data.GetBytes(data.GetOrdinal("file"), 0, rawData, 0, fileSize);
                        fs.Write(rawData, 0, fileSize);
                        fs.Dispose();
                        pictureBoxPictADUStudent.BackgroundImage = new Bitmap(name);
                }
            }

            conn.Close();
        }

        else
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Please Input Student NIM ", "Warning!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning);
        }

A: You are opening the file here:
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(name, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
                                   // ^^^^ This is your filename..

..and Bitmap is also trying to open the file to read it.. here:
pictureBoxPictADUStudent.BackgroundImage = new Bitmap(name);
                                                   // ^^^^ You are using it again here

The Bitmap won't be able to read from the file while you're writing to it..
EDIT:
As pointed out in the comments, this can happen even though fs.Dispose() is being called. See here: Does FileStream.Dispose close the file immediately?

A: The problem here is that the file is locked by new Bitmap(). So you have to make sure once the bitmap is loaded, it's lock on the file is disposed:
        using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(name, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
        {
                byte[] rawData = new byte[fileSize];
                data.GetBytes(data.GetOrdinal("file"), 0, rawData, 0, fileSize);
                fs.Write(rawData, 0, fileSize);
        }

        using (var bmpTemp = new Bitmap(name))
        {
            pictureBoxPictADUStudent.BackgroundImage= new Bitmap(bmpTemp);
        }

Update:
I updated my answer to reflect your latest answers.
For mor detailed information goto this post

A: write like this
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(name, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
{

}
pictureBoxPictADUStudent.BackgroundImage = new Bitmap(name);

DR. ALI ATIF GOHEIR
Dr. Ali Atif Goheir, the only son of Mr. Rafique Goheer, graduated from King Edward Medical College in 1983 and proceeded to United Kingdom for higher surgical training. In UK, he trained as a Paediatric and a Neo-natal surgeon, specializing in surgical correction of congenital defects in the new born babies. On his return to Pakistan he joined government service but soon resigned his job to take up the position of Chief Executive of Saira Memorial Hospital, in a bid to further his father's dream.
During his nearly twenty years as the Chief Executive, he was responsible for expanding and improving the facilities and services at the Hospital. He initiated the drive to procure sophisticated state of the art equipment for the Hospital to ensure that the patients receive the best and most efficient care. Apart from upgrading the existing facilities, he launched the expansion of civil infrastructure, to cater to the ever increasing number of patients seeking treatment at the Hospital and, oversaw the construction of nearly 13,000 sq.feet of additional space during the last year of his life. Saira Memorial Hospital today, is a 75 bed teaching hospital with all modern diagnostic and therapeutic facilities – a living legacy of his untiring efforts, sincerity of purpose and determination to turn Saira Memorial Hospital into a centre of excellence.
Dr. Ali Atif Goheir was also the moving force in developing the outreach services of the Hospital. Scores of patient receive free medical advice and treatment at Saira Free Clinic in the economically underprivileged Lahore locality of Dholanwal, Multan Road. Zahida Goheir Hospital, located in his ancestral village in Tehsil Shahkot, District Nankana Sahib, is the other outreach programme managed by Saira Memorial Hospital. Founded to honour Dr. Atif's late mother Mrs. Zahida Goheer, free medical camp is held every fortnight at this facility providing free medicines and treatment to the residents of Kot Nizam Din and the adjoining villages.

AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson talked the telecommunications giant's transformation into a "modern media company," and laid out his plans for the future — including investing in content and capitalizing on technology to deliver entertainment in new ways.
In a morning keynote at the Wells Fargo Securities 2918 Telecom 5G forum in New York, Stephenson offered an upbeat assessment of the company's prospects now that its $85 billion deal to acquire Time Warner Inc. has finally closed.
Stephenson talked about the media and political landscape, which changed dramatically over the 18-months since the Time Warner deal was announced. Across the 600-day legal ordeal, he said, the Trump Administration adopted sweeping tax cuts and repealed the net neutrality rules — both of which accrue to the telecom giant's benefit.
Stephenson said the acquisition of such marquee entertainment properties as Warner Bros. studio, CNN and HBO have transformed AT&T into a "modern media company," one that's well-positioned to cultivate direct relationships with consumers and develop sophisticated TV ad products.
Stephenson talked about the opportunities that exist for targeted advertising, and how AT&T's consumer data would allow brands and marketers to more efficiently reach their consumers on Turner's networks. Viewers would see the benefit as well, he said, because ad loads would decrease as programming fetches higher ad rates.
It's not just theoretical, Stephenson said. DirecTV used data insights to command higher ad rates for the inventory it receives from networks on the platform. AT&T's goal is to create an advertising platform that could compete with Facebook and Google.

Unblocking the NPT from the impasse thanks to the Ban Treaty
Pubblicato il 15 aprile 2017 da redazione
Nagasaky.
The NPT is in an impasse, and has been for a long time. At the last Review Conference in 2015, a situation of total paralysis was observed, so that no consensus could be found to adopt a final document! While "in good faith" the signatory states have committed to nuclear disarmament "in the near future"…
What are the reasons for this?
1- the fact that the NPT has not fully succeeded in preventing proliferation since 4 states are not part of it (India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea) and have acquired nuclear weapons;
2- The fact that nuclear weapons are not explicitly declared illegal;
3- Article VI of the NPT on disarmament is not sufficiently binding to be effective.
Now the international treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons —which is being formulated within the United Nations— will, among other things, serve the purpose of strengthening the NPT by filling its gaps, as was widely underlined by the participants in the first session (27-31 March 2017) of the negotiating conference at the UN in New York, which will conclude its work on 7 July.
In fact, the treaty will be a powerful aid to nuclear-weapon States which sincerely wish to achieve total nuclear disarmament through multilateral negotiations, and to achieve such disarmament before it is too late.
How should the five-year NPT review conference in 2020 take this into account?
This is the question that the Member States should address right now. This will necessarily have consequences on the final consensus despite the nuclear States which refuse any constraint regarding nuclear disarmament.
As expressed by a very telling allegory proposed by the Ambassador of Chile to the UN, an international treaty prohibiting nuclear weapons must help the nuclear-weapon States to escape the "Faustian" trap into which they have fallen, whereas Goethe's Faust had been outwitted by the devil.
Abolition des armes nucléaires
Maison de Vigilance (AAN) has merged 2 NGOs last year: La Maison de Vigilance (1983) and Stop essais/Armes nucléaires STOP (1989).
AAN is a member of Abolition 2000 and ICAN.
AAN attends NPT sessions and UN sessions for the Ban Treaty. It is a gathering of activists and more than 20 French NGOs (WILPF-France, Union Pacifiste, Pax Christi, Sortir du nucléaire, Non-violent Movement…).
Among other activities, AAN organises each year a Fast from 6 to 9 August, commemorating Hiroshima and Nagasaki and for support of victims of nuclear testing.
