Ventilation before umbilical cord clamping improves physiological transition at birth or "Umbilical cord clamping before ventilation is established destabilizes physiological transition at birth"
David J. R. Hutchon*
Obstetrics, Darlington Memorial Hospital, Darlington, UK
Bhatt et al's paper provides a good argument for ensuring that ventilation is established before clamping the umbilical cord (1). The possibility that very early clamping could explain the increased occurrence of intraventricular hemorrhage was proposed in 1988 by Hofmeyr (2) who showed that in human babies there was a marked rise in arterial pressure when the cord was clamped as late as 35 s after birth. He proposed that the sudden rise in cerebral circulation was the underlying mechanism for the higher incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage after early cord clamping (ECC) in preterm neonates. Our computer simulation of transitional circulation supports Hofmeyr's finding (3). The simulation demonstrates that a sudden rise in cerebral pressure and blood flow is inevitable if the placental circulation is closed before the increase in pulmonary blood flow has occurred as a result of respiration. In the experimental lamb, Bhatt et al. have now provided further evidence of this adverse effect of early clamping (4). The instability in the circulation shown in their lambs may also be the result of loss of the blood volume (5) known to be redistributed from the placenta to the neonate (placental transfusion) and from the loss of the oxygenated blood from the umbilical vein. Long-term harms for the neonate may also result from loss of the stem cells capable of quickly repairing vital organ injury.
Charles White an eminent obstetrician in Manchester, England (6) could not have put it better in 1773
… the common method of tying and cutting the umbilical cord in the instant the child is born, is likewise one of those errors in practice that has nothing to plead in its favour but custom. Is it possible that this wonderful alteration in the human machine should properly be brought about in one instant of time, and at the will of a bystander? Let us leave the affair to nature, and watch her operations and it will soon appear that she stands not in need of our feeble assistance, but will do the work herself at a proper time, and in better manner. In a few minutes the lungs will gradually be expanded and the great alterations in the heart and blood vessels will take place. As soon as this is perfectly done, the circulation in the umbilical cord will cease itself… By this rash, inconsiderate method of tying the umbilical cord before the circulation in it is stopped, I doubt not but many children have been lost, many of their principal organs have been injured, and foundations laid for various disorders.
The practice of ECC has become so established it is often considered the physiological norm. The title "Ventilation before umbilical cord clamping improves the physiological transition at birth" concurs with this view. A statement such as "Umbilical cord clamping before ventilation is established destabilizes physiological transition at birth" focuses attention on the physiological starting point. While there has been debate about the timing of cord clamping for over 2000 years, it is only in recent times that the cord could have been routinely clamped within seconds of birth. One hundred fifteen years ago, the first umbilical cord clamp was devised by Magennis (7). He specifically advised practitioners to wait until the function of the cord had ceased before applying the clamp.
For those babies, who failed to breathe within a short interval, routine ventilation was only introduced quite recently (8). Although ECC by obstetricians may have already been common, most births were still at home. However, the finding in 1960s that post-partum hemorrhage (PPH), a major cause of maternal death, could be reduced by active management of the third stage of labor (AMTL), established ECC into obstetrical and hospital midwifery practice (9). With the majority of births now in hospital, AMTL became very common. ECC was included as one of the essential elements of active management included without any evidence of efficacy. The established practice of ECC as part of AMTL made neonatal research difficult. Since 1960s, studies have shown that ECC has no role in reducing maternal hemorrhage but ECC was by now recommended worldwide as good routine obstetric practice. The trials of DCC vs. ECC had small numbers and measured only short-term outcomes, so the realization by clinicians that ECC was an unnecessary and potentially harmful intervention for the neonate was very slow. Of significance was the exclusion of all neonates requiring resuscitation from the randomized controlled trials, and this was the very group most likely to show serious harms.
Concern was initially voiced by the few midwives who cared for women still birthing at home, and followed by a few neonatologists and obstetricians who recognized the importance of avoiding sudden interruption of the placental circulation. The first neonatologist to recognize the importance in recent times was Professor Peter Dunn. Working in several hospitals in England between 1961 and 1971, he commenced resuscitation of preterm infants as they lay on their mother's legs before the cord had been clamped or the placenta delivered. This resulted in more than a threefold fall in perinatal mortality of these preterm neonates (6). This was well before the era of antenatal steroids.
One minute is usually long enough for the healthy term neonate to establish respiration and so for the majority simply waiting is all that is required. For the preterm or asphyxiated term neonate, the most effective way of initiating ventilation before clamping off the placental circulation has still to be established. It may not be so simple to achieve in practice without design and preparation. Modern ventilation requires pressure and volume to be carefully controlled to avoid injury to the lungs and ensuring the equipment is portable enough to reach the side of the mother is the challenge. Intubation may often be required, and hypothermia needs to be prevented. Thus, a more specialized approach is necessary, which is being met by a modified mobile neonatal resuscitation trolley (10). Clinical trials are already underway.

When I was growing up, I never knew outright that there was a difference in my vision. When you are kids, everyone just gets on and mucks around and has fun. It's only when you start school that different things (like different requirements) are made, and that's when you start to think about it. It's definitely more as you grow up that it becomes a bigger part of your life, so I guess that can be negative in a sense. You have to start thinking about disability and how it might restrict you in the future because those restrictions are probably going to increase as you get older. But also, as you get older, you realise that it's part of you and your identity. You get to explore it and take ownership in a way. That's when you work out how you're going to interpret a disability. There are definitely positives and negatives to it.
My disability is that I've lost the right side of my vision in both eyes. I've had this since I was six months old after I had neurosurgery for epilepsy. Essentially, I can't remember anything else so unless someone told me that I see differently I wouldn't know. Which I guess is good, I definitely feel like it doesn't hold me back as much. I think everyone's just trying to get through life as best they can. I guess it's the same if you've got something holding you back, you just keep trying to get as far as you can. The main thing is that because you can't see a physical disability with me, should I disclose or outrightly tell someone that you've got a disability? You can't just chuck it into everyday conversation. But you're always wondering whether you should tell someone, whether that's being at college or school, or with friends. Early on, I would completely integrate into all parts of the school and it was great! I was swimming and playing football but then there were times when a teacher would ask "can you come outside and have a little chat", it would happen once a month or once a term or one of the support team would come round and then I'd chat about how I'm doing. You know that you've got a difference and know that you can be singled out, but as you get older it does get easier to deal with differences. If something goes a bit sh*t then you're like, oh well, it's not too bad in the grand scheme of things. It gives you a different perspective.
Everyone says I'm really optimistic, which I think I am, but I think you have to be. You don't get anywhere by worrying about what could be in the future. If you have certain barriers that make it difficult then fair enough, but nobody knows what the future holds, so go with it. I think having a disability definitely makes you more resilient.
"You don't get anywhere by
worrying about what could be in the future"

BHUBANESWAR: The traditional form of worshipping Goddess Durga through dance and music has started. Young unmarried girls (locally called kuanris) in Nuapada district are performing 'Dalkhai' – a traditional form exclusively performed during the puja – to worship the goddess.
Dalkhai, though typical to western Odisha, is slowly losing its popularity. However, the entire Komna and parts of Khariar blocks in Nuapada have kept up the tradition. The dance is performed for 36 hours to the tunes of dhol (trumpet) and muhuri (flute).
Every year, the dance is performed at a chosen spot, preferably near a river. The ritual starts in the early morning on Saptami. Young dancers, accompanied by musicians, collect sacred sand from the river bank and make idol of the goddess. They place the idol under a tree and worship it. After the rituals are over, they start dancing till evening the next day ( Ashtami). During the process, performers have to fast.
According to Bana Khatri, a resident of Komna, this is a much coveted moment for girls here. "The tradition dates back to primitive days and young girls feel sacred after worshipping Durga and dancing before Her," said Khatri.
The dance form, which is also performed publicly, can be traced back to the old tradition practiced in Nuapada when untrained dancers used to perform in order to appease the Goddess. Considered as a folk dance, Dalkhai captivates audience if performed in the original form.
A senior villager, Pitambar Letkabar, said over years, the original dance form has been distorted. "One needs great devotion to perform this dance. The young girls perform the dance joyously and devotedly," said Letkabar.

Do you need to extend your studies? Or would you like to stay in the Netherlands after graduation? Find out about the procedures for extending your stay as a student residence permit holder.
Extending your student residence permit
If you need more time to complete your studies, or will start another programme at Leiden University directly after graduation, you must request a residence permit extension.
Read the Residence permit extension instructions - current Leiden University students. This explains the eligibility criteria, required documents and financial matters.
Inform Leiden University that you need a residence permit extension via the Visa contact form.
Leiden University will send you an email, directing you to the uSis visa portal where you can log in and submit your extension request.
The deadline for submitting your residence permit extension request to Leiden University is:
Three months before your current permit is due to expire
You will generally have to wait about 4 to 8 weeks for the Dutch immigration department (IND) to approve your request.
If you submit your request after the deadline, the university can generally still request an extension for you. However, there is a risk that your request will only be processed by the IND after your current permit has expired. This will result in a so-called residence gap, which can have an impact on subsequent immigration procedures, such as applications for permanent residency or naturalisation.
To be eligible for a residence permit extension, you must demonstrate that you have sufficient funds for both living expenses and tuition fee for your upcoming period of study. The required amount is €930 (2021 - to be confirmed)* per month of stay, plus your tuition fees.
The fee for residence permit extensions is €174 (2020)*.
* Fees & amounts set by the Dutch immigration department (IND) and subject to annual change.
Staying in the Netherlands after your studies
Orientation year permit for graduates
Are you about to graduate, or have you recently graduated from Leiden University? Do you want to search for employment or work in the Netherlands? If so, you can request an orientation year residence permit. Read about the procedures and requirements on the Holland Alumni website.
Learn more by watching this IND/Nuffic webinar entitled 'Work in Holland: Special permit for alumni of higher education'.
Other type of permit
If you would like to arrange residency on other grounds, for example employment or partnership, visit the Dutch immigration department website for information on conditions and procedures.
You are responsible for arranging a residence permit on grounds other than study. However, the university would be happy to advise you during visa/residence permit consulting hours.
Visa/residence permit consultation hours
If you have a question about your residence permit, drop by during the visa team's weekly consultation hours. For current times and locations see the visa team's contact information on this page.

I have never had a serious relationship is there something wrong with me? This is a question that many people ask themselves. If you are in this situation, I would like you to know that firstly you are not alone and secondly there is nothing wrong with you. Many girls feel that the fault lies with them; however this is not the case. Trust me ladies if a guy has never has a serious relationship he feels exactly the same as you females do.
There are many reasons why you may not have had a serious relationship and I am going to tell you why it can actually be a good thing.
I have had never had a serious relationship could this be a good thing?
The truth is that although it may not be popular on social media or among your friends, the truth is that never having a serious relationship can actually have benefits that you do not even realize. When you stop focusing on the negative you may actually start to appreciate the positive. There really is a flip side of never having had a serious relationship that most people forget to acknowledge. I am here today to share with you some of the benefits that actually exist.
Trust me when I tell you that you may appear more desirable and appealing to guys. There are many guys out there who may love the idea that you have never met the right guy to become serious with. There are many guys who would love to be the one who captures your heart.
Imagine when you do find the right guy, how special you will be able to make him feel. There are not many girls in today's day and age, which have not had a serious relationship. He will really feel special and chosen by you. The right guy is really going to appreciate you more than you will ever know.
Many girls are too easy and this is not appealing for a guy in terms of a long term relationship. If you let him know that you have been waiting for the right guy and that you were not prepared to settle for anything less, then he will really respect you. You have the opportunity to be fully respected and cared for by the right guy, many girls never have this opportunity.
If you have had many past relationships, the chances are that you will have more baggage. More baggage and more exes can seriously ruin the chances of a long term relationship working out. The factor that you have never had a serious relationship in the past, gives you that much more chances of your relationship surviving for many years to come.
There is nothing wrong with a decent old fashioned guy with old school morals and values. In fact if the truth is told most girls get sick of "bad boys" and long for a real gentleman. You will be surprised at how many gentlemen are waiting for the right women. You may just be the perfect lady for a true gentleman.
Even though it may seem "cool" on the surface, the truth is that break ups are very "uncool" For every single serious relationship there needs to be an ending. The longer you have been together with someone the harder the break up may be, by never having had a serious relationship; you will have avoided all the heart ache and chaos that goes along with it.
There really is nothing wrong with getting to know guys as friends first. If you have never had a serious relationship then this means you have been single for longer. When you are single you have more time than ever to explore the type of guys that you want to have in your life. You can have multiple guys as friends and you can discover what you really want.
Regardless of your reasons for never having had a serious relationship, I would like to assure you that the wait is totally worth it. When you meet the man of your dreams, nothing else is going to matter. Although it may feel like a big deal right now, I can promise that in a few years' time you will be happy that you waited for the right guy to come along. After reading this hopefully you will realize that I have never had a serious relationship, may not be such a bad thing after all.

Some Final Reflections on the Holiday Season – How Sukkot Symbolizes Letting Go
ByUJUCOctober 28, 2016
October 28, 2016 | by Rabbi Kenneth Hahn
What does the holiday of Sukkot have to do with letting go of our need to control outcomes? First of all, before we get to that, what is Sukkot anyway? Like many Jewish holidays, it combines historical, spiritual and agricultural elements. It's the holiday where we build these temporary structures, called sukkahs, or booths, and when we shake the lulav (a willow branch, a myrtle branch and a palm branch all tied together) with the etrog (a large lemony fruit).
Fundamentally, as we decorate the sukkah with fruits and vegetables, we are celebrating the harvest. In fact, sukkahs are thought to be reminiscent of the temporary structures farmers would inhabit while living in the fields during the harvest season. It may well explain why one guideline determining whether or not a sukkah is kosher is how close to the ground the walls come. The rule is that the gap between the ground and the bottom of the walls cannot be more than the width of a goat crawling on its belly. That makes a lot of sense if the goal of a sukkah was to protect you while sleeping outside during the harvest when you would not want to be disturbed at night by a wandering animal.
Another determinant of whether or not a sukkah is kosher is that you must be able to see the sky from within the structure. In other words, living in the sukkah should feel a lot like living outside, i.e. feeling like you're a part of nature. Here, perhaps, we come to the crux of the matter.
When Jews shake the lulav, we are actually doing a rain dance, and why do a ceremony praying for rain even while we're bringing in the harvest? Because we're all neurotic and already worrying about the next harvest as we're bringing the current one in. If it doesn't rain, there will be no food, and we won't survive without food.
Interestingly, it's not coincidental that Sukkot comes RIGHT AFTER Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur. Here's why. During the ten Days of Awe from Rosh HaShanah to Yom Kippur we are instructed to "get clean" with people by asking for and granting forgiveness. Once we've done this and have essentially purified ourselves, then it's time to pray for rain, the really important culminating act that helps ensure our survival.
Judaism teaches that we can and should do our best to purify our souls, that this can help lead to a better outcome, but that ultimately it's out of our hands. We purify ourselves; then we pray for rain. We understand, though, that whether or not it rains is beyond our control, but we pray for it anyway, and we recognize our limitations in determining what will happen.
The history of humanity it seems is the attempt to control outcomes, to deal with our fear of survival and satisfy our sometimes greed-filled need to insure a better situation for ourselves. We generally fail to recognize that even as we try to control more and more, and propagate the illusion that we can, we are still and forever will be subject to the random vagaries of life and the universe. Oh well. Maybe that's why the ceiling of the sukkah has to be partially open to the sky, to remind us that we are vulnerable beings, and even though we would like to dominate the natural world, it has a funny way of asserting its control over us.

Why most companies order t-shirts for their employees? Why most companies order t-shirts for their employees?
Home Business Why most companies order t-shirts for their employees?
Gone are the days when a simple TV commercial could break the deal for companies and make their marketing strategies strong. I am not bashing the magazine ads and TV commercials but if you peek into today's world of marketing, you will see that there is so much more to it. Simple is better is the new key to success for almost everything and marketing media has somehow believed in it a lot now. The concept of t-shirts being worn around by the employees of a company is now ever-growing and is one of the best mediums to market a brand.
The next time you walk into a mall, see how many people are wandering around wearing a shirt that has Nike or GAP written on it or maybe they have some popular ongoing season name printed on them. The people who know the power of it are well-aware of the fact that it is all about being marketed and bringing to eye the name of a brand again and again so that people go there and check it out. This is now a trending way to market a company and a lot of companies' make their employees wear printed t-shirts. To make it clearer, here are some simple reasons as to why companies order t-shirts for their employees and make them wear it!
Who doesn't like walking advertisement? Well, t-shirts worn by employees are the perfect example of walking advertisement. T-shirts are branding in the best way possible and tribal cohesion is the best way to advertise your brand. The more you walk around in a t-shirt that represents your company, the more word you are able to spread regarding it.
If you are a new business startup, then nothing is better than t-shirts. You can advertise in the cheapest way and people will get to know about your company in the best way possible. As marketing is really important you need to make sure that you do the best but at the same time you need to limit the investment too. Thus, t-shirts are the cheapest form of advertising your company as they require minimum investment.
The tribal cohesion is a very important feature in a company as it brings the idea of unity. Common or similar appearance is a necessity reminder for the person that he or she is representing a company. It also builds an empowerment of the entire company and the workplace feels in full swing too. Printed t-shirts are cheap so that they can come in quantity and don't cost much too.
People usually look at a brand for their personality representation. The employees need to be attractive enough in the way they communicate that the customers find themselves being magnetized towards them. This is where a t-shirt has the power to become a conversation starter for a lot of people. A uniquely designed t-shirt can communicate well with the customers and deliver a specific message across too. This is why a lot of companies prefer that their employees wear t-shirts that speak for themselves and attract customers incredibly well. Therefore, t-shirts help in beginning a conversation with the audience without having to speak.
Marketing is a really important feature of every company and it needs to advertise itself in the best manner to flourish. Thus, t-shirts have become an ever-growing medium to promote a company and bring unity and cohesion amongst the employees to make the working atmosphere in the most wonderful and affordable manner.


If you are abused, there are two things left to you: Staying -or- Leaving.
I thought I was keeping the family together. That it was better for my children to have their father with them. I thought that god wanted it this way.
. . a woman is battered every nine seconds in the United States.
. . . domestic violence kills ten women every day in this country.
My point is: be who you are. If you are gay or lesbian, please, know that understanding and acceptance are part of reality now. Be who you are. Love the person you love. Please don't love the person you are expected to love. It never works out.

Fireworks Magazine Online 76 - Interview with Van Zant
Added by Electronic Brain	|	16 September 2016
VAN ZANT
Interview by Elin Sigfridsson
Johnny and Donnie are the younger brothers of Ronnie Van Zant, Lynyrd Skynyrd's original vocalist who was tragically killed in a plane crash in 1977. Johnny is better known as the current singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd after the band reunited in 1987, and Donnie for 38 Special which he formed with guitarist Don Barnes back in 1974.
Johnny had released several Southern Rock albums in the 80s with the Johnny Van Zant Band before changing genres for the totally AOR sounding self-titled Van Zant album in 1985. The brothers then joined forces in 1998 with Van Zant reverting back to their Southern Rock roots and releasing a further four studio albums.
With a new live album being released Fireworks thought it was about time to dig a little deeper in the history of these two brothers, although the first question had to be why a live show from Georgia, back in 2006, is being released now?
Johnny: We went back and revisited the live album about a year and a half ago. To our surprise it sounded incredibly good, so we shipped everything up to Nashville to producer/engineer Ben Fowler. Over the past year went to Nashville and mixed the CD. We decided to put out the end product as we did very little shows with Van Zant and thought the fans would enjoy it.
That Johnny and Donnie have their roots in Southern Rock is a well known fact, and is clearly demonstrated by the songs on the album which are an interesting mix of not only Van Zant songs but also some cool choices from Lynyrd Skynyrd and 38 Special. Although for fans of Johnny's more AOR output, the lack of songs from that '85 self- titled album is rather disappointing.
Johnny: We were actually promoting our 'Get Right With The Man' Country album, so the choice was easy. We played mostly songs from that particular CD. When it came to our individual bands, we decided we would throw in some of those songs as well.
Donnie: We thought it would be great for the fans to get a little bit of our history with our bands. I thought it would be cool for Johnny to sing Don Barne's 'Wild-Eyed Southern Boys' from 38 Special, which turned out great. I got a chance to sing a few of my older brother Ronnie's songs with Johnny, which made it especially cool.
Being busy with Lynyrd Skynryd and 38 Special, Van Zant never did much touring, which was clearly a vast disappointment for their fans. With so many albums behind them there must have been requests for tours in the past.
Donnie: We actually have toured together as Van Zant doing the Rock version. The Country tour was the longest tour we ever did together but it was always hard to tour as Van Zant because 38 Special and Skynyrd do between 90 to100 shows a year, which didn't give us much time for Van Zant.
The 1985 self-titled album is decidedly more AOR than the Southern Rock leanings the band are better known for. The interesting thing about this album is that it is completely uncharacteristic for Van Zant and does raise some questions – was Johnny pushed by the record company to record songs in this style or was it simply what he wanted to do?
Johnny: It was definitely the type of music I was into at the time. As for the musical direction on this album, I was in control with my decisions for the album. With that said, I still took all of their advice and direction into account.
That 1985 album is a big favourite of many of us here at Fireworks and we wondered if Johnny would ever consider pursuing that musical direction. Johnny's 'Brickyard Road' in 1990 did follow in the same AOR footsteps but with some Southern tinges, but what are the possibilities for the future?
Johnny: I never say never. Those records helped shape who I am today as an artist and a person. I hold them dear to my heart but I also have to take current music into account.
So perhaps there is some hope left for us. Although with that sound already going on from their self-titled album, why didn't they release 'Brickyard Road' under the Van Zant name?
Johnny: The chairman of Atlantic Records signed me to a record deal. We thought it would be better if we do it under just my name. I've been with Skynyrd for almost 30 years, I've always been proud of my brothers' Southern Rock music. As an individual artist I wanted to shape my sound different from my brothers. My intention was to make my music more commercial to appeal to those who love Southern Rock, and maybe even Metal.
For over three decades Johnny and Donnie have kept themselves busy with Lynyrd Skynyrd and 38 Special, and Johnny is still as active as ever in writing new material for Skynyrd. But what are the chances of a new Van Zant studio album considering the fact that there has been nine years since 'My Kind Of Country' was released?
Johnny: We've been writing non-stop and we probably have over 100 songs. We would like to create a Gospel album, and a Blues record.
Donnie: We have enough material to do two Van Zant albums. We'll see what happens. I would love to do another project with Johnny and don't ever count me out!
And we are very pleased to hear that Donnie! And speaking of Donnie, 38 Special has been active since 1977 and released 12 studio albums and toured relentlessly all over the world to reach their fans. But in 2013 Donnie decided to quit the band.
Donnie: I didn't quit the band, I was forced to leave due to inner-ear nerve damage in both ears which took away 75% of my top and 75% of my mid range. I was told by doctors if I continue staying on the road I could go completely deaf. But I still write every day, especially with my brother Johnny.
When it comes to writing music, Johnny and Donnie seem to have an endless imagination.Working and writing for Skynyrd and 38 Special, and with Van Zant to unite both brothers in the middle, perhaps comparing them is not so different after all?
Johnny: There isn't much of a difference. We always try to write about honesty, family values, and touch on our religion.
Donnie: It wasn't a big jump for either of us. The songs I did with Van Zant I would have brought to the table for 38 Special.
When I thought of a last question for Johnny and Donnie I started to wonder about their feelings about it all. When they look back on their careers, from the very beginning up to this very moment - how does it make them feel?
Johnny: It still feels like a dream. I often find myself questioning if it ever even happened. I'm honoured to say the least, especially the fact that the fans have stuck by me this entire time, and enjoyed all of my hard work.
Donnie: I feel very blessed to have forty years in the music business. When you think about it, only five percent of musicians get a chance and only five percent make a living doing it; I've done both. Thanks to all of the fans for making my dream come true.

History is full of examples of what ultimately happens to those who cannot adapt to changing circumstances. The end of the dinosaurs. The buggy whip and carriage manufacturers of the early 1900's; where are they now? The USS New Jersey class and the Japanese Navy's Yamato and Musashi — these battleships were awesome weapons platforms in their time, as finely built as any traditional Swiss watch — but what role do battleships and their admirals have today? How about mainframe computer people; do you know of any highly-paid openings for senior COBOL programmers this week? The lesson is clear and inexorable: those who can recognize paradigm shifts and adapt tend to survive. Those who can't, don't. To which class do you belong?
Is Support Truly a Profession?
Years back, the old OpCon East/West events put on by Jeffrey Tarter and the Association of Support Professionals were the gathering place for the senior members of the customer support community (and more than a few CEO's as well.) In between the hard-hitting plenaries and breakout sessions, the discussions in the hallways and around the bar were about how to adapt to the looming transitions and core-level challenges. From "free support" to "fee." How to successfully select and implement customer contact center technology suites. Can you retain top people when "the only good support rep is the one that left last week to take a "real' job in Engineering?" Is winning even possible? Is Support truly a profession?
In a recent e-mail, Jeff gave me an echo of those visionary OpCon conversations. "We have a generation of support people who grew up thinking that customers should be grateful when we fix things that shouldn't have broken in the first place," he wrote. "Worse, they now believe that customers should be happy to pay vendors to fix defective products." In his highly respected services marketing seminars, Jeff teaches his students to position their product offerings as solutions to customer pain issues. The fact that a company's software is unreliable is not a customer pain issue; the day where that could be accepted is fast passing. We are moving into a time of tectonic shifts in the industry, and corporate and personal/professional survival is an issue on the table.
The attitude of classic command-and-control, wherein the "we know all the answers" operational mode of most support groups is based, is fundamentally flawed, and has been so for many years. When I took hotline calls myself, I learned something new about how my company's products could be used every day. My customers taught me, for they attempted to do things that had not occurred to me to try. Unfortunately, that innovative thought and the results stayed between me and the caller. I passed some of it on as an individual as opportunities occurred, for I've been a community player all my life, but my employer had no strategy, no thought-out process for propagating that innovation out to the larger customerbase. Senior Management thought that theirs was a company built upon a technology product. That company doesn't exist anymore.
The much-vaunted Support 2.0 technology will fail for the same reason that CRM, Customer Relationship Management, largely failed to achieve its promise — it's ultimately not about the technology, it's the knowledge about how to effectively use it and the people to transmit that knowledge. CRM as a technology wasn't enough in and of itself to ensure success. The failure was due to the fact that there were and are no Customer Relationship Managers. No one to take responsibility for recognizing, testing and propagating new innovations and knowledge about how the technology ought to be used out into the community.
Here's the real customer pain issue: How to use the technology to effectively increase productivity and profitability. Where are the professional advisers who will seek out innovation and extend it to respond to the pain? That, not Break/Fix, is what Customer Support needs to be about. That is what customers want to buy, and will pay premium amounts in order to receive.
The day of the Break/Fix definition of Support is passing, and with it the "professionals" who thought that such was the sum of their roles. It took awhile for the dinosaurs and the buggy whip manufacturers to realize that their day was done. How long will it take for the same realization to take hold in the Support community? How many Senior Management teams will adapt to the challenge and so preserve their companies into the new era?

Captain America: Civil War ***½|****
May 6, 2016 Brent Leuthold
Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. in Captain America: Civil War
Captain America: Civil War, the latest offering from the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe, is technically the third film in the Captain America series but given its inclusion of so many of the studio's other superhero characters, it plays more like a semi-sequel to Avengers: Age of Ultron (The Avengers 2.5, let's say). As such, it's the most narratively dense and potentially overwhelming Marvel movie to date but it's also the most morally ambiguous and dramatically ambitious entry thus far. The important part is that despite the heaviness of the story and its themes, there are also counterpoints of levity and dazzling action setpieces that strike up a sound balance of enlightenment and entertainment.
The story picks up after the disastrous events in Sokovia from Ultron and following a more recent incident in Lagos that left unexpected civilian causalities, the actions of the Avengers are being scrutinized more thoroughly than ever before. The United Nations puts forth an act that calls for more oversight and regulation for those with "advanced abilities", which Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) views as a sensible guideline of personal responsibility but Captain America (Chris Evans) sees as an oppressive measure of over-regulation. This ideological rift, among other factors, leads to a showdown between Team Captain and Team Iron Man (involving too many superheros to name here) that threatens to permanently tear the Avengers team apart.
Those uninitiated with the MCU and the events of the preceding films will likely be completely lost within the first 10 minutes of Civil War and even if you are a more-than-casual fan like myself, you may still find yourself misplacing certain characters or trying to recall previous plot points during its lengthy runtime. What's important here is that directors Anthony and Joe Russo tell their story with respect to the intelligence of their audience regardless of how familiar they are with each facet of the Marvel world. Of course rigorous superfans will likely get the most out of the experience but even first-time viewers should find plenty to enjoy among the well-choreographed fight sequences and the reliable acting talents of the impressive ensemble cast.
One of the most refreshing elements of this film is the emphasis of accountability that has been breached in several other superhero movies before but not to the degree to which it's examined here. On the basis of entertainment, we continually watch these characters lay waste to one major city after another but Civil War tactfully explores the residual effects that these catastrophes have on the ordinary people who occupy those affected areas. When the mother of a son who died in the Sokovia incident confronts Tony Stark after he gives an impassioned speech, it reaches a level of poignancy and groundedness that is uncommon among other films of this genre.
Without delving much more into the elaborate storyline, I should mention just how happy I was with the ultimate villain of this film. Between Age of Ultron's Ultron to Ant-Man's Yellowjacket (not to mention whoever the villain of Guardians of the Galaxy was), Marvel has been seriously lacking in the compelling bad guy department but Civil War brings about the most satisfying antagonist since Loki in The Avengers. In the words of Roger Ebert, "each film is only as good as its villain" and I'm happy to report that both are first-rate.

The commercial and industrial sectors provided more than half of the enrolled demand response (DR) capacity last year—12 gigawatts, or 65.5 percent—as DR continues to grow and increasingly become more integrated as a resource for the U.S. energy market.
A new report from Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA), produced in partnership with Navigant and the Peak Load Management Alliance, found that a broad range of DR programs dispatched 10.7 gigawatts of energy savings to the grid from a potential 18.3 gigawatts available.
The study examined data from 155 utilities across the U.S., both regulated and deregulated markets and including large investor-owned utilities, small cooperatives and municipal utilities. Chew said it covered about 62 percent of the electric customers in the U.S., or about 89.9 million people.
DR is helping utilities and grid operators absorb excess solar generation and adjust loads through reverse demand and load shifting.
Non-wire alternatives are also growing and a number of utilities are leveraging DR to offset peak load growth and defer investments in distribution systems.
Small to medium businesses, along with residential customers, are now able to take advantage of time-of-use rates, often in combination with DR programs, to help utilities better manage load curves.
Opportunities for demand response expansion include continuing participation in wholesale power markets, and the peak load standards being proposed in Arizona, Massachusetts and other states. The standards would aim to increase the share of clean energy deployed during peak load periods.
Storage is also playing a growing role, particularly behind-the-meter batteries that are being aggregated to participate in DR events. When STEM deployed 85 megawatts of aggregated capacity at multiple commercial and industrial sites in 2016, it became the first storage provider to meet reliability and performance requirements.
While residential demand response programs—aided by the increasing number of smart home devices and thermostats—are growing, commercial and industrial customers still have the highest DR participation, Chew said. Customer-initiated DR programs accounted for about two thirds of the commercial and industrial enrolled capacity, with one third participating in automated or other programs. Listed under "other" are ice thermal storage, electric storage, heat pumps, pool pumps, irrigation control, emergency dispatch and electric vehicle smart charging programs, which Chew and Feldman say will have more DR impact in the future.
In the customer-initiated programs, process production deferral was the top DR used, followed by HVAC, lighting, pumps and load shifting using energy storage. The automated DR customers used HVAC most frequently to reduce demand, followed by pumps, lighting, energy storage and process production deferral.
Feldman said that about 90 percent of the customer-initiated DR customers comply when an event is called, but 10 percent decline to participate and take a penalty. This happens most often by industrial users for whom "the value of product outweighs the payment of the penalty," he explained. He noted that the number of commercial and industrial customers choosing automated participation is likely to remain smaller.
"The total automated DR hasn't taken off to a large extent because the [commercial and industrial] customers don't want to give that control over to the utility or their provider," Feldman said.
Participation varies from state to state. In 2017, the Tennessee Valley Authority dispatched a total of 665 megawatts of commercial and industrial demand reduction across its six-state territory. A study of Hawaiian Electric's fast demand response program noted that it allowed commercial and industrial customers to participate with as little as 10 minutes' notice and included semi-automated and automated activation. Participants must commit at least 50 kilowatts for load reduction. Companies receive financial benefits for committing load and actual load reduced during an event.
Benefits and incentives can be substantial. Chew described how one Midwest industrial owner said his company had received $1.4 million for participating in a demand response program.
Feldman pointed out that value stacking is common among commercial and industrial users who participate in utility and wholesale programs.
A growing number of utilities are leveraging DR programs to meet grid needs and avoid making costly infrastructure upgrades. Half of the SEPA utility participants said that they were interested in using DR as part of non-wire alternatives. Con Edison in New York City has been using its Brooklyn Queens Demand Management Program for several years as an alternative to spending an estimated $1.2 billion on a substation upgrade.
As of its most recent quarterly report, Con Ed had achieved load relief from energy efficiency and demand management at 6,700 small businesses, 1,600 multifamily residential buildings and 21,500 one-to-four family residences, a spokesperson said. The utility also achieved 40 megawatts of peak hour non-traditional utility side and customer-side solutions, and obtained commitments for 33.6 megawatts on the customer side, including 24.8 megawatts in the peak hour between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m.
In addition, Con Ed uses other energy sources to generate and manage electricity in that area including solar panels installed at a Brooklyn affordable housing complex, as well as 300 kilowatts/1,200 kilowatt-hours of battery storage and a 400-kilowatt fuel cell.


Being new to 3D printing I'm constantly fiddling with my slicing settings. From one print to the next and from one filament to another, I'm constantly trying new settings. I think it would be nice to have a simple way to share and save the configurations used for each print that I and others can reference when I share my finished prints. My idea is to use a slicer's settings export feature to save those settings and then associate them with the finished print online. I've been using both Slic3r and Cura and I share some of my prints online at Thingiverse. I'm thinking of an automated way to push the config file to something like Github's Gist servece and then converting the raw settings file to something human readible like markdown that can then be posted into the description of the print on Thingiverse. Would be cool to see plugins for slicers that do this sort of thing automatically.

Vaxholms kustartilleriregemente (KA 1) var ett kustartilleriförband inom svenska marinen som verkade i olika former åren 1902–2000. Förbandsledningen var förlagd i Vaxholms garnison på Rindö.

Historik
År 1902 överfördes artillerikåren till Kustartilleriet och bildade Vaxholms kustartilleriregemente, KA 1. Byggnaderna stod klara 1906 efter Erik Josephsons typritningar för infanteriet. Kasernerna som togs i bruk redan 1904, hade tre våningar till skillnad från typritningarnas fyra. Delar av KA 1 förlades till Vaxholm och det var först på 1940-talet som verksamheten samlades till östra Rindö invid Oskar-Fredriksborg. KA 1 bestod av artillerikompanier, minörkompanier och yrkeskompanier: en organisation som bibehölls till 1940-talet. 1941 blev det före detta Vaxholms grenadjärregemente, I 26:s byggnader en del av KA 1. Den del av KA 1 som varit förlagd på Vaxholms fästning förlades istället i före detta I 26:s kaserner.

År 1956–1957 utbildades Sveriges första kustjägarförband vid Närförsvarsskolan (NärfS) vid KA 1. År 1958 föreslår Chefen för Marinen (CM) i en skrivelse till ÖB att Närförsvarsskolan (NärfS) skall omorganiseras till en kustjägarskola och 1959 döptes skolan om till Kustjägarskolan (KustJS).

Inför försvarsbeslutet 1982 föreslog både överbefälhavaren, ett förslag som delades av den parlamentariska försvarskommittén, att sammanslå Stockholms kustartilleriförsvar (SK) och Vaxholms kustartilleriregemente (KA 1) till en myndighet. Bakgrunden till förslaget var att få en stringent organisation inom kustartilleriet, genom att stabsorganisationer reducerades eller sammanslogs och en istället utöka utbildningsorganisationen. Enligt överbefälhavarens förslag skulle förändringen genomförts senast till 1985. Från 1985 var regementet underställt chefen för Stockholms kustartilleriförsvar. Det nya förbandet som bildades åren 1984–1985 benämndes Stockholms kustartilleriförsvar med Vaxholms kustartilleriregemente (SK/KA 1).

Åren 1986 och 1990 gjordes en förändring inom marinens lägre regionala ledningsnivå, där kustartilleriförsvaret sammanslogs regionvis med örlogsbaserna. Den nya myndigheten som bildades genom sammanslagningarna kom att benämnas marinkommando. Därmed kom samtliga marina stridskrafter inom respektive geografiska område ledas av en gemensam chef. På ostkusten kom därmed Stockholms kustartilleriförsvar med Vaxholms kustartilleriregemente (SK/KA 1) och Ostkustens örlogsbas (ÖrlB O) att sammanslås och bildade den 1 juli 1990 Ostkustens marinkommando (MKO). Ostkustens marinkommando förlade sin förbandsledning till Muskö örlogsbas. Stockholms kustartilleriförsvar med Vaxholms kustartilleriregemente (SK/KA 1) kom därmed den 30 juni 1990 att upplösas som myndighet. Från den 1 juli 1990 utgjorde Vaxholms kustartilleriregemente organisatoriskt en utbildningsenhet inom kommandot, med egen regementsstab på Rindö. Vaxholms kustartilleriregemente blev därmed en utbildningsenhet inom kommandot men med egen regementsstab.

Inför försvarsbeslutet 2000 föreslog regeringen att den framtida grundorganisationen skulle innehålla två kustartilleriförband. Där ett av de två kustartilleriförbanden skulle utgöra en huvudenhet, där regeringen ansåg att Vaxholms kustartilleriregemente och Första kustartilleribrigaden (KA 1) skulle utgöra huvudenheten. Det med anledning till att förbandet hade en mycket god närhet till Stockholms skärgård, med övnings- och skjutfält med dimensionerande terrängtyper. Inget av de andra regementena ansågs sakna terrängförhållanden och infrastruktur för att utgöra en huvudenhet. Vilket regemente som skulle kvarstå vid sidan om KA 1, stod mellan Karlskrona kustartilleriregemente och Andra kustartilleribrigaden (KA 2), Gotlands kustartilleriregemente (KA 3) och Älvsborgs kustartilleriregemente (KA 4). KA 3 föll dock snabbt bort i processen, då verksamheten ansågs begränsad och att enheten saknade tillräckliga och lämpliga övningsområden. Angående KA 4 så ansågs även det ha begränsade övningsförutsättningar. KA 2 ansågs ha de bästa förutsättningar för att verka som en andra enheten vid sidan av KA 1. Dock ansåg regeringen att det var av stor betydelse Göteborg som Sveriges andra stad även hade en militär närvaro. Vidare ansåg regeringen med att behålla KA 4 skulle ge flottan möjlighet till fortsatt verksamhet för sjöstridsförbanden i Göteborg. Därav förslog regeringen att KA 1 och KA 4 skulle behållas i den nya grundorganisationen.

Genom försvarsbeslutet 2000 beslutades samtidigt att kustartilleriet skulle avvecklas i dess dåvarande form. De kvarvarande förbanden skulle få en annan inriktning än hittills. Därav ansåg regeringen att förbanden skulle benämnas amfibieregemente, och att vapenslaget kustartilleriet ändras till amfibiekåren. Därav kom Vaxholms kustartilleriregemente och Första kustartilleribrigaden (KA 1) att upplösas som kustartilleriförband den 30 juni 2000. Den 1 juli 2000 bildades i dess ställe amfibieförbandet Vaxholms amfibieregemente (Amf 1).

Verksamhet
År 1956 såg indelningen ut på följande sätt:

Spärrbataljon med bataljonsstab
 batt (stabs och sambandsutbildning)
 batt (tungt sjöfrontsartilleri)
 batt (lätt sjöfrontsartilleri)

Minbataljon med bataljonsstab
KA Minskola
 Muldiv (min och dykutbildning)
 Muldiv (båtutbildning)

Närförsvarsskolan - NärfS med skolstab
 Kustjägarkompani = en försöksorganisation, vilken bestod av två jägarplutoner, varav en attackdykartropp om 12 st dykare ingick i den första jägarplutonen och en understödspluton med granatkastare (8 cm GRK m/29-32). Sammanlagt antal soldater på kompaniet = 89 st (frivilliga värnpliktiga underbefälselever grupp A).

Ingående enheter

Första kustartilleribrigaden
Första kustartilleribrigaden (KAB 1) bildades 1956 som en kustartilleribrigad och löd i fredsorganisationen under Vaxholms kustartilleriregemente. Brigaden som utgjordes inledningsvis i krigsorganisationen av en stab på Hamnholmen och två spärrbataljoner baserade på Arholma och Söderarm samt lokalförsvarsbataljoner. År 1984 bestod brigadens krigsorganisation av tre spärrbataljoner, Roten, Arholma och Söderarm samt lokalförsvarsbataljoner. Den 1 juli 1994 avskiljdes brigaden även i fredsorganisationen från regementet och omorganiserades till Roslagens marinbrigad (RMB).

Andra kustartilleribrigaden
Andra kustartilleribrigaden (KAB 2) bildades 1956 som en kustartilleribrigad och löd i freds- och i krigsorganisationen under Vaxholms kustartilleriregemente. Brigaden som utgjordes inledningsvis i krigsorganisationen av en stab på Rindö och en spärrbataljon baserade på Korsö och två kustjägarkompanier samt två robotbatterier. År 1984 bestod brigadens krigsorganisation av spärrbataljonen Korsö, tre rörliga spärrkompanier och tre kustjägarkompanier. Den 1 juli 1994 omorganiserades brigaden till en rörlig brigadledning med utgångsgruppering i mellanskärgården. År 1996 bestod brigaden av bland annat av spärrbataljon (som nu benämns kustförsvarsbataljon) Korsö, 1. amfibiebataljonen samt Stridsgrupp Oxdjupet (ubåtsskyddskompani). Brigaden avvecklas den 30 juni 2000 och utgjorde från den 1 juli 2000 grunden till Vaxholms amfibieregemente.

Tredje kustartilleribrigaden
Tredje kustartilleribrigaden (KAB 3) bildades 1956 som en kustartilleribrigad och löd i fredsorganisationen under Vaxholms kustartilleriregemente. Brigaden som utgjordes i krigsorganisationen av en stab på Järflotta och tre spärrbataljoner, Ornö, Mellsten, Askö. Den 1 juli 1994 avskiljdes brigaden även i fredsorganisationen från regementet och omorganiserades till Södertörns marinbrigad (SMB).

Förläggningar och övningsplatser
Förbandet var förlagt till Rindö i Stockholms skärgård i Uppland för bemanning av Vaxholms fästning och Oscar-Fredriksborg fästning samt Hörningsholms kustposition.

Cameron Boyce's Death Certificate Reveals He Was Cremated
Jesse Grant, Getty Images
Cameron Boyce's official death certificate revealed the Disney star was cremated.
According to TMZ, the beloved actor's ashes were given to his father, Victor, following the family's decision to cremate his body after his tragic death earlier this month. It's unclear what Boyce's family plans to do with his ashes, but the document has Los Angeles' Forest Lawn Memorial Park listed as the funeral location.
The death certificate confirms he passed away at 2:35 p.m. on Saturday, July 6, however, his official cause of death remains unconfirmed until the coroner completes their ongoing investigation. As previously reported, Boyce died in his sleep after suffering from a seizure triggered by his epilepsy.
"It is with a profoundly heavy heart that we report that this morning we lost Cameron," his family confirmed in a statement to ABC News. "He passed away in his sleep due to a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition for which he was being treated."
"The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him," they continued. "We are utterly heartbroken and ask for privacy during this immensely difficult time as we grieve the loss of our precious son and brother."
In the wake of his death, a number of celebrities have posted tributes, including one shared by Boyce's Descendants 3 co-star Dove Cameron, who took to Instagram to read a heartbreaking letter she wrote for him.

Prescription drug prices are soaring. Will a…
Prescription drug prices are soaring. Will a bill in the Colorado legislature help consumers save money?
Transparency in health care costs shaping up as a key battle in the statehouse
Seth McConnell, The Denver Post
Lewy Body Dementia medication Intepirdin is photographed at Swedish Medical Center on March 17, 2017, in Englewood.
By John Ingold | The Denver Post
When Brandt Wilkins, a Denver small-business owner, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2000, the annual price of his medicines was $9,000 before insurance.
When he switched to a new drug in 2003, the price rose to $15,000. And now, he said, that same drug has a list price of $91,000 a year, even though more medicines for MS have come onto the market.
"So, more competition has driven up the prices, not driven down the prices," he said.
Brandt and other Coloradans could have more information about what prescription drugs cost under a bill that passed its first committee vote Thursday at the state Capitol. The bill seeks to peel back a layer of mystery surrounding rising drug prices, although critics say it won't provide consumers with useful information. It passed the House Health, Insurance and Environment Committee on a party-line vote — Democrats in favor and Republicans opposed — meaning that its passage in the GOP-controlled Senate is less certain.
"Health care shouldn't be a black box," said Caitlin Westerson, the policy manager of the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative, which supports the bill.
Thursday's debate over drug prices was just one skirmish in perhaps the biggest health care battle at the state Capitol this year — the fight over how to bring more transparency to skyrocketing medical costs.
A bill that requires freestanding emergency rooms to provide patients with more information about prices passed out of the Senate on Wednesday. A bill requiring hospitals to more readily provide details to the public about their spending and finances was scheduled to be heard later Thursday by a House committee.
Meanwhile, an organization called Broken Healthcare has filed two proposed ballot initiatives that would require insurers and health care facilities to post their prices and details on how they negotiated those prices.
Despite the debate, the general notion of greater transparency is not particularly controversial. Over a year ago, a nonpartisan commission studying ways to reduce the cost of health care in Colorado said giving patients more information about pricing could help reduce how much is spent. And according to a poll commissioned by the advocacy organization Healthier Colorado — which supports the drug-pricing bill and other transparency measures — more than 90 percent of Coloradans believe the public has the right to know more information about how prescription drugs are priced.
But much of the debate on the drug bill and others centers on the question of what meaningful transparency looks like.
The measure, House Bill 1260, would require pharmaceutical companies to tell the state, starting in 2020, when they plan to raise the price of a drug more than 10 percent over what the drug cost two years prior. The bill would also require insurers to report to the state once a year about what they spent on prescription drugs, which the state would then publish in the aggregate.
To the bill's supporters, this information would help consumers better understand prescription drug pricing and, more importantly, would give doctors and patients a heads-up on price spikes so they could either adjust their treatment plans or squeeze their budgets even tighter.
"I have no other options," said Gail DeVore, who has Type 1 diabetes and requires pharmaceutical insulin to survive — at a current cost of $1,400 per month, more than her mortgage. "In my household budget, we cut back on everything."
But, to the bill's opponents, the pricing information wouldn't give patients an accurate picture of what the drug will cost them. The pharmaceutical industry pays billions of dollars a year in rebates to distributors and others in the supply chain, but the bill wouldn't provide any information about how those middlemen are pricing drugs and whether they are passing the discounts onto consumers.
"I think what people really want to know is what they have to pay," said Brenda Gleason, a Colorado health care consultant who spoke at the hearing on behalf of pharmaceutical company Pfizer. "That information is very difficult to get right now."
The bill still has one more committee hearing before it could be voted on by the full House and, possibly, head to the Senate.
