Construímos, desde 2014, um dos maiores eventos de educação do Brasil, que acontece no Shopping Iguatemi, reunindo as principais escolas e universidades em um ambiente compacto e acolhedor.
Expo Ensino is a traditional brazilian organization with innovative DNA, based on two pillars: attracting new students in the most active and intelligent way possible and offering quality content, with trustworthy international references. Through our work, a link is formed between families, teenagers, young adults and several educational institutions in order to guarantee advantages and benefits to all parties.
During the last six years, we have built one of the largest events in Brazil. It takes place at the Iguatemi Shopping Centre and brings together some of the best schools and universities; all in a compact and welcoming environment for the families.
The work we do is motivated by the understanding that educational institutions must have an active and smart recruitment process of its students. Also, education in general has been undergoing major transformations in Brazil, which is something that affects many aspects of what young people do in classrooms and their relationship with teachers. Therefore, we aim to bring together good content and people that are interested in getting connected to the ideal school, college or university for each of them. We bring them the latest and best content not only in Brazil; but the whole world.


There is something to be said for ringing out the old and bringing in the new as the years change.
and let them move on to new homes in 2013.
Today (Jan 7, 2013) I put up my vintage 1972 Blythe doll up for auction, so she could find a new home; and if she is a lucky girl, get restored into a the shining beauty she can be.
I think my old girl's got a lot of potential!
My Vintage 1972 Blythe Doll and close ups of the 4 colors of eyes she has when you pull her string.
The Original Blythe doll made by Kenner in 1972 only had short lifespan of that one production year. Many girls found her big head and eyes "spooky" and so she was pulled from production due to low sales and customer feedback.
I have to admit, I was one of those girls.
I wanted and this odd doll stared back at me from her box.
I really thought Santa had a warped sense of humor or... was I on the Naughty List?
pulled back into a ponytail and her pink eyes were starring straight at me from her box.
So imagine the image of the "center" doll, giving you the eye from her box.
Not exactly what a 7 year old wanted to see on Christmas day at all.
my niece told me she was glad it was leaving the city for good, since it gave her the "creeps".
"Medieval Mood" Blythe looked like - back in the day before being outcast in my doll chest.
Bless her plastic heart she was/is in dire need of a stylist to bring out her "cute" side.
I tried to play with her back in the 70's but she could not wear Barbie's clothes they were all too big so she just ended up in the bottom of the toy chest for the duration of my childhood and then got packed into the attic with all my other dolls years ago.
Sadly several decades in an attic trunk did not allow her to remain young and fresh as you can imagine, so she is in need of some TLC and a new wardrobe to become all she can be.
Here are some more detailed images showing the current condition of my 1972 Blythe.
I believe she was originally marketed to have Purple, Green, Blue and Amber Eyes.
but in 1972 Hong Kong they gave her Pink instead of Purple and Orange instead of Amber.
along the marketing being written and color selection things got changed?
Either way Blythe is an unusual doll due to this ability to chance eye color with the pull of a string.
Even her modern counterpart being made in Japan by Takara has this signature feature.
As you can see from this shots, she is not a mint condition doll.
She has some issues but in her favor she has all her original parts, including the string and pull ring.
Her pull string and ring are intact and work great.
All the eyes click into place easily. (Blue, Orange, Green, Pink).
The "whites" of her eyes are pretty white with some yellowing around the seam lines.
The color chips for her eyes are bright, and clear.
Her eyelashes appear to all be there.
She still has her green eye shadow & pink lips but her cheeks seem to be "worn or rubbed" off.
Her knees bend and she can hold a seated pose.
Her legs are intact and don't have any breaks in the "skin" but there are some discolored spots here and there.
She seems to have all her hair plugs intact; though her hair is very frizzy and need of attention.
original 1972 Blythe for their collections is the fact that she has bendable legs.
this is probably due to the fact that she was not "played" with very often.
It's interesting how your perception of things changes with age.
When I was 7, I found her pink eyes disturbing but 40 years later they are kinda cool.
Pink Eyes on 1972 Blythe with dark hare and her bangs pulled off her face.
This is a good close up on her face showing some marks and scratches on her face.
Her face has "yellowed" a bit over the years and her cheek color has "worn" off.
The new trend seems to be to give Blythe a matte face rather than leaving her face shiny a she was originally made, so this doll would be a good candidate for the modern "facial"
of several sandings and buffings to acquire that look.
I've got Blythe's bangs pulled off her face so the scalp hair seem can be seen.
As typical with most 1972 Blythe dolls there is a bit of glue visible.
get wet, they won't fall off. I did not test the theory - grins.
I love the way Blythe's eyes slant off to the side for the Blue and Green color choice.
The "white" of her eyes are still fairly white but there is a bit of yellowing in spots, particularly at the mid part of each eye where there is a seam. This is probably due to the aging of the glue or whatever bonding agent they used in the factory while assembling the eyes.
Well my Blythe still has a head full of hair but it's frizzy and in need of attention.
so I'll leave the process of taming her mane to her new owner.
Not a very dignified pose but it does show her intact and original pull string/ring combo.
It also lets yo see some of the marks on her legs as well as the "cracked" plastic at her bottom.
My guess is this occurred while she was in the attic trunk.
residue removal in case I used the wrong method and caused her additional damage.
This shot shows the pull string coming out the back of her head, the cracked bottom and the inside view of both legs. Even with a cracked bottom she holds onto her legs pretty well but I'm sure her new owner will know how to fix her so it's never an issue again.
It appears several different runs were made of this doll in her short production span.
My doll happens to have 7 lines of text on her.
which is most likely seeing as I got her in Dec 1972.
The best I can tell - My Blythe seems to be a center part brunette with bangs.
Her hair is very dark brown but not quite black in color.
I believe they made some dolls with wispy and others with chunky bangs and I believe mine to be of the "wispy" variety since she only seems to have a small amount of bangs and they don't go all the way across the front.
My vintage Blythe Doll has a new home and has received her first "spa" treatment!
She looks so cute all dolled up for her first appearance as Charlotte. Charlotte's owner has a wonderful collection of Blythe dolls, so I hope you check out her Flickr album and see all of Charlotte's new friends.
Charlotte - A new home and new look for my childhood doll - isn't she cute!
the beauties others have created using vintage and modern versions of Blythe.
some with bangs, others without but they all suffered the fate of extinction back in 1972.
and Blythe has quite a large following and fan base across the globe.
Blythe is a popular doll in Japan; she has many looks and comes in a variety of hair colors.
There is even a line of haircolor so you can match yours to your dolls.
This is not dye for dolls, it's for humans but Blythe dolls show you the color you will get.
1972 Blythe dolls and her more modern counterpart.
don't expect to find them inexpensively; these dolls retail for hundreds of dollars.
many doll artists and stylists create using both vintage and modern versions of Blythe.
Her doll creations are one of a kind art pieces.
by a variety of scenery accessories. All of them are stunning!
This sampling of "Special" Blythe Doll Creations are by Cookie Dolls.
amazing creations artists are doing using Blythe dolls.
Please visit Rebeca Cano's - Cookie Dolls blog - HERE to see more.
Naturally there are many more talented artists creating special one of a kind Blythe originals.
If these examples tickle your interest you might want to browse the web to see what other intriguing beauties have been created.
OK so basically Blythe is not your typical "little girls" doll; however if restored and "dressed" right she can be a very cute doll or dramatically stunning as in the Cookie Doll creations by Rebeca Cano, seen in the above photo. I've seen many nice examples of what Blythe enthusiast create; which is why I chose to put my "in need of TLC" 1972 Original Blythe Doll on the market.
My hope is she will finally be turned into a "jewel" herself.
And here she is once again - My Vintage Blythe now has a new home and new look.
Patty - thanks for giving her a great new home.
Thanks for letting her come and live with me!!!
Hey Patty!!! - I'm amazed at the improvement in her and you've only had her one day.
I debated for weeks about trying to restore her but in the end was too afraid to try. Original Blythe's are just to precious to risk ruining; especially when so many Blythe enthusiasts would like one in their collection.
I know I made the right decision on letting her go, after seeing the way she currently looks. Thanks for seeing her potential and starting her on the road to being all she can be. And a special thanks for sending me a photo and sharing your Flickr posts so I can see her and your wonderful collection.
Strange little doll and I did not know when I was young, because I was born at the same time as the Barbie doll. On the Etsy site you can also find these dolls, you can even find small clothing made exclusively for them, it's so cute!!!
Hey Sylvie - Yes, she seems to have a nice size following and there are many websites dedicated to her, both the modern and the original 1972 version. eBay and Etsy have many "add on" items that can be purchased to alter a Blythe doll. You can even change her hair and eyes for "custom" versions.
I would not be surprised if the modern Blythe dolls started showing up in USA stores in the next few years. It will be interesting to see if that happens.
Hey Patti - I had success with selling my childhood doll on eBay. I hope you find a good home for yours as well.

Der U-Bahnhof Rothenburger Straße (Abkürzung: RO) wurde als 23. U-Bahnhof der Nürnberger U-Bahn am 28. Januar 1984 eröffnet. Er ist 762 m vom U-Bahnhof St. Leonhard bzw. 929 m vom U-Bahnhof Sündersbühl und 970 m vom U-Bahnhof Plärrer entfernt. Seit 14. Juni 2008 ist er Trennungsbahnhof für die Linien U2/U3. Die Rothenburger Straße ist nach der Mittelfränkischen Stadt Rothenburg ob der Tauber benannt. Täglich wird er von rund 13.400 Fahrgästen genutzt.

Lage und Infrastruktur
Der Bahnhof liegt im Nürnberger Stadtteil Gostenhof und erstreckt sich unterirdisch in Nord-Süd-Ausrichtung neben der Rothenburger Straße zwischen der Bahnstrecke Nürnberg–Bamberg und der Schlachthofstraße. Vom Südkopf des Bahnsteigs führt ein Aufgang in ein Verteilergeschoss und von dort aus zum Busbahnhof sowie auf die West- und Ostseite der Rothenburger Straße. Der Nordaufgang führt direkt an die Oberfläche und weiter zur S-Bahn-Station Nürnberg - Rothenburger Straße, an der die Linie 1 der S-Bahn Nürnberg verkehrt. Ein Aufzug verbindet den südlichen Bahnhofsteil mit dem Busbahnhof. An den Bahnhof schließt sich Richtung Röthenbach der Abzweig der U3-Süd Richtung Gustav-Adolf-Straße sowie ein doppelter Gleiswechsel an.

Bauwerk und Architektur
Das Bahnhofsbauwerk ist 190 m lang, 20 m breit und 15 m tief (zweifache Tiefenlage). Die Bauarbeiten für den Bahnhof begannen am 26. Januar 1979 und wurden in Neuer Österreichischer Tunnelbauweise ausgeführt. Die Bauwerkstiefe ist durch den bereits damals vorgesehenen kreuzungsfreien Ausbau des Frankenschnellwegs sowie die Unterfahrung zweier Kanal-Hauptsammler bedingt.

Von der Architektur ist der Bahnhof im Stil einer Grotte gehalten. Die Bahnsteigwände bestehen aus gespitztem Beton.

Linien

Der Bahnhof wird von den Linien U2 und U3 bedient.

SEVEN82MOTORS Second Online Auction Is Live
July 14, 2021 8:48 AM AWST
American muscle, Aussie classics and customs feature in July Seven82Motors 'stock drop' auction.
Following the success of their first ever online auction in June, SEVEN82MOTORS have lined up another, with a great spread of American and Aussie classic, muscle and custom rides consigned.
In creating the 782 Auction Platform, SEVEN82MOTORS have taken their popular monthly stock drops online, allowing enthusiasts far and wide to add a quality collectable vehicle to their garage without leaving the comfort of their armchair.
Ben Atkinson, Dealer Principal at SEVEN82MOTORS, says the success of their first online auction made it an easy decision to hold a second one.
"Obviously, I was nervous going into it, but we got some really good prices that went well above our expectations – and our seller's expectations."
Of the 38 vehicles in the debut auction, 21 sold within the bidding period, with a further nine sold by negotiation soon after for 30 sales in total. That's an outstanding clearance rate of 79 per cent for a first-time auction.
Most vehicles sold within their reserves, while some went above and beyond pre-auction estimates. The star of the show was a 1955 Ford F100 custom that sold for $206,000 – well above its reserve.
Obviously, given that initial success, there hasn't been too much to tweak for the second auction.
One thing that has changed is that this new auction will be shorter at 7 days, compared to 10 days for the first auction. Bidding opened from 7:00PM on 12 July and closes at staggered times from 7:00PM on 19 July.
"I'm not changing the auction format, though," Ben clarified. "We've still got the 'delayed time' at the end where the last bid adds 10 minutes."
Of the 34 vehicles consigned for this auction, there's a raft of new listings and all reflect the quality you'd expect from SEVEN82MOTORS (see below for selected highlights). Consignments cover a spread of price ranges, so there are cars to suit different budgets, as well as different tastes.
SEVEN82MOTORS carefully select the vehicles they offer, and while the initial auction had a range of high-profile Aussie classics, there's more of an American slant to this time around, including Pontiac and Plymouth muscle, Mustangs, pickups and classic Chevys.
"We're also bringing back 'late night shopping' and that'll be fun," Ben enthused. "Thursday night is late night shopping at SEVEN82MOTORS, so there'll now be three open days to our new format."
The SEVEN82MOTORS Nerang facility (2 Palings Crt) will be open for vehicle inspections on the following days.
Thursday, 15 July - 6PM to 8PM (Open to Public)
Saturday, 17 July - 8AM to 2PM (Open to Public)
Monday, 19 July - 9AM to 4PM (Genuine Enquiries Only)
To find out more, click HERE
Of the 34 consignments listed on the 782 Auction Platform, here are a few of the highlights:-
Lot 27 – 1970 Pontiac GTO
Factory triple black, dealer-installed 'drag pack' engine. 428 V8, 4-speed manual.
Already a rare car, being a factory triple black unit (black paint, top and interior) with the optional 4-speed manual, what makes this GTO additionally rare is the 428ci V8 that wasn't a factory option but was available through selected Pontiac dealers, most notably Royal Pontiac in Michigan.
While unconfirmed, this may have been such a car – shipped with an empty engine bay to the dealer, where the 428 was fitted.
Sourced out of Texas by the current owner, this GTO was stripped and repainted in 2012, with new glass fitted, but the interior remains original. Recent new parts include springs, shocks, exhaust and wider Rally wheels. Currently on full WA registration.
For more details on this car, click HERE.
Lot 19 – 1967 Ford Mustang GTA
S-Code, RHD, Australian car from new. 390 V8, 3-speed auto.
This San Jose-built Mustang fastback was purchased by an Australian dealer when new in '67 and RHD converted locally, so it's spent virtually all its life here.
Being an S-Code car, it's powered by the 390ci V8 and being a GTA means it's built to GT spec with an automatic transmission. This car is also fully-loaded, being fitted with the Interior Décor Group, power steering, central/overhead consoles and air conditioning at the factory, as well as the GT Equipment Group that included foglamps, power front disc brakes, heavy-duty suspension, dual exhaust and wide-oval tyres.
The current owner of 31 years had it fully restored in the last 10 years, including a rebuilt 390 V8, R&P steering upgrade and new interior trim. Less than 500km travelled since completion.
Lot 20 – 1968 Holden HK Premier
Heavily optioned, unrestored survivor. 307 V8, 2-speed auto.
Ordered with a 307 V8, Powerglide automatic, bucket seats, a short console and LSD by its first owner, this Premier has had only two other owners since, spending most of its life in rural NSW.
While it did receive a closed door respray in its factory Paragon Blue paint approximately 15 years ago, no other restoration work has been done, with the seats, carpets and headliner all believed to be original. The original, matching-numbers drivetrain is also untouched, but has been maintained.
With continuous registration from new, this survivor Premier comes with all its books, including dealer delivery documentation and laminated first registration certificate.
Lot 30 – 1973 Ford XA Fairmont hardtop
One owner from 1973-2008, driveline upgrade. 351 V8, 4-speed manual.
Purchased new in 1973, this Fairmont's original owner held onto it until 2008. In his final years of ownership, the owner swapped the car's original 6-cylinder engine for a 351 V8, with complementary Toploader 4-speed manual and 9-inch diff fitted, too.
A colour change to Wild Violet was done during the conversion, but the original chrome and glass was retained. Most of the Parchment interior is believed to be factory original, but a GS dash carries refurbished and recalibrated instruments. There's an aftermarket stereo, too.
Power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes and lowered springs are other features, with 17-inch Globe-style wheels and new tyres recently fitted.

Lot 6 – 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air pillarless hardtop
Long-term display car, fully restored, museum quality. 265 V8, 2-speed auto.
From a private collection, this standout '56 Chevy is believed to have spent many years in a US museum prior to arrival in Australia.
From the first year that a 4-door pillarless hardtop was offered in Bel Air trim, this example has been restored in its original Pinecrest Green with India Ivory top, with stainless steel and chrome complete and in good shape.
Inside, the carpets, seat trims, door trims and headliner have all been replaced in 1956-correct fabric and vinyl, while under the bonnet, there's an authentic 265ci V8 and 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Ready to drive, this is a fantastic and iconic example of a classic American cruiser.
Lot 9 – 1967 Ford F-100 pickup
Fully rebuilt modified pickup with big wheels and custom interior. 390 V8, 3-speed auto.
As 1957-model F-100s are rarely the subject of custom builds, it makes this example all the more exceptional.
A modern Ford front end, four-link rear, 9-inch and rebuilt 390 engine and C6 auto trans had all been fitted in the US prior to the consignor's purchase, but once shipped to Australia, two years were spent rebuilding the pickup, including countless hours perfecting the body before a custom mix olive green paint was applied, topped with Mini Pepper White on the roof and teak timber planks in the tray.
Coys C-33 smoothie wheels are a combination of 18-inch front and 20-inch rear.
Inside, beige and cream leather is combined with houndstooth fabric inserts, while Chevrolet, Mercedes-Benz, Mercury and Falcon components have gone into the interior, too.
For more details on this pickup, click HERE.
The SEVEN82MOTORS auction went live at 7:00PM on Monday, 12 July and runs to Monday, 19 July, with staggered closing times from 7:00PM.

Nuggets catch 3-point fever
Nuggets guard J.R. Smith, launching a 3-pointer Monday night against the Hornets in New Orleans, is 14-of-24 behind the arc and has 49 points in his last two games. Smith is making 38 percent of his 3-point shots this season on a 40-27 team.
By Benjamin Hochman | bhochman@denverpost.com | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: March 15, 2011 at 3:40 p.m. | UPDATED: May 4, 2016 at 1:14 p.m.
ATLANTA — Ever since shooting a 24-footer meant you received three points — instead of a glare from your coach for shooting a long two-pointer — NBA players have been chucking up 3-pointers with fervor.
But since 1979, only once has a team made more 3-pointers in consecutive games than the Nuggets have made in their past two.
After making 18 3-pointers Saturday against Detroit, the Nuggets made 17 on Monday at New Orleans (35 total). Only the 2008-09 Orlando Magic made more 3-pointers (37) in a two-game span.
Denver is, pun intended, shooting for history tonight. The Nuggets need to make 19 3-pointers against the Hawks at Philips Arena to eclipse another record set by the 2008-09 Magic, which hit 53 3-pointers in a three-game stretch (16, 14 and 23).
The new-look Nuggets have proven they can make 3-pointers in bunches. With Nene attracting defenders in the low post, options on the perimeter are opening up. Also, the 40-27 team is frequently playing two pass-happy point guards, Ty Lawson and Raymond Felton.
"We've got two guys out there who can screen and roll. It's kind of tough to guard," Felton said of the North Carolina-produced duo. "It's constant (motion). The defense doesn't have a lot of time to set up."
J.R. Smith has had some big games against Atlanta. When the Nuggets beat the Hawks 100-90 in Denver on Feb. 28, Smith had 19 points and seven rebounds. Smith has been Denver's hottest 3-point shooter of late, going 9-for-16 against Detroit and 5-for-8 at New Orleans.
"We've just been getting in good rhythm," Smith said of his team's shooting. "A lot of times, we pump-fake and try to premeditate our moves before we even catch the ball. I think the best way to shoot is just catch and shoot. It's been working for us."
Injury report.
Starting guard Arron Afflalo (hamstring) may play tonight. Afflalo, who hasn't played since March 5, will be a game-time decision against the Hawks.
Danilo Gallinari, though, is doubtful for the game. Gallinari (fractured toe) did some shooting Tuesday at Denver's practice but, more realistically, could return for Friday's game at Orlando or for Saturday's game at Miami.
Harrington struggling.
Al Harrington was averaging more than 20 minutes a game in the early part of the season. But because of his shooting slump, the veteran forward has stayed on the Denver bench for long stretches. Harrington is averaging just 15.4 minutes and 4.3 points in March games. That includes 0-for-8 shooting March 5 against the Los Angeles Clippers and 0-for-5 shooting Monday at New Orleans.
Coach George Karl still trusts the 6-foot-9 Harrington and likes to utilize his size.
But it's understandable that on a jump-shooting team in playoff contention, Karl is going to call on the guys making shots and playing defense.

Denver at Atlanta
5 p.m. today, ALT, 950 AM
Spotlight on Joe Johnson: Denver's perimeter defenders swarmed the Hawks' sharpshooter from Arkansas in the Feb. 28 meeting at the Pepsi Center, which the Nuggets won 100-90. He was 0-for-5 on 3-point attempts and shot 10-for-23 overall. But he is capable of lighting it up. He averaged a career-high 25 points four years ago and averaged at least 20 points in five consecutive seasons from 2005-10.
Nuggets: If guard Arron Afflalo (game-time decision) doesn't start, look for Gary Forbes to get the call again. . . . Ty Lawson (23 points, 10 assists) and Raymond Felton (22 points, 12 assists) are coming off double-doubles at New Orleans. Felton, a former Knicks guard, played a game-high 42 minutes Monday against the Hornets and made only one turnover. "The (Denver) offense is pretty much the same as how I used to play at North Carolina and how I was playing this year in New York — pushing the ball down the court, getting into a lot of screen-and- roll plays," Felton said. "I'm trying to get back into my groove."
Hawks: Atlanta has defeated Denver in three consecutive games at Philips Arena. The Hawks are 29-6 all time in Atlanta against Denver. . . . Atlanta will be completing a rare back-to-back set at home. Atlanta hosted Milwaukee on Tuesday in a makeup game. . . . In their 100-90 loss at Denver on Feb. 28, the Hawks hit only 2-of-19 shots from 3-point range. . . . Felton and Atlanta forward Marvin Williams are close friends. They were teammates at North Carolina and helped the Tar Heels win the 2005 national championship.

Il ritratto di giovane con liuto, olio su tavola, è un'opera giovanile di Agnolo di Cosimo, detto il Bronzino.

Descrizione

Nell'inventario manoscritto degli Uffizi, redatto nel 1704, questo dipinto è già attribuito al Bronzino e tale attribuzione è stata sempre  considerata valida. Non si conosce il nome del personaggio raffigurato. Probabilmente si tratta di uno dei ritratti ai quali Giorgio Vasari ha accennato, scrivendo che sono riferibili alla fase giovanile del Bronzino.

Un disegno preparatorio di questo dipinto si trova nella Collezione Devonshire a Chatsworth House, nel Derbyshire: una volta era attribuito al Pontormo, poi è stato accostato al Ritratto di giovane con liuto del Bronzino che è agli Uffizi.

Una piccola scultura, raffigurante una donna nuda (forse Venere) in atto di immergere il piede sinistro una vasca tonda, è posta sopra un tavolo coperto da un panno verde, accanto al musicista. Sullo sfondo è accennato uno spazio d'interno, con due porte. Il giovane ha in testa un berretto ed è chiuso in un severo ed ampio abito scuro, su cui spicca il piccolo collo bianco della camicia. Non suona lo strumento e il suo sguardo è rivolto fissamente di lato. Una luce intensa cade sulle sue mani, in primo piano. Mani espressive, dalle dita forti e allungateː tipica cifra del Bronzino.

BLM Proposing Significant Fee Increase at Little Sahara Recreation Area
Little Sahara Recreation Area, Utah – Federal officials are proposing a hefty increase in fees for users at Little Sahara Recreation Area. Nearly 300,000 enthusiasts flocked to the dunes in 2009 and BLM says they have not been collecting enough money to pay for services that are provided.
"The new plan is to try to get the revenue that we generate to approximately match the amount that we spend every year," said Glenn Carpenter with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
Under the proposal, the annual vehicle pass would jump from $75 to $120. The one-day pass, which currently costs $8 per vehicle, $10 on holidays, is being scrapped entirely.
Instead there will be a two-day pass for $25, $30 on holidays or a new seven-day pass for $40.
The BLM is accepting written comments for the next month. The new fee plan is expected to be approved in January and in effect in April.
The 2010 annual passes for Little Sahara Recreation Area went on sale in November, 2009. The cost of the first vehicle pass is $75. Additional vehicle passes are available for $50.
About Little Sahara Recreation Area:
Little Sahara Recreation Area lies about 115 miles Southwest of Salt Lake City. The area features 60,000 acres of sand dunes, trails, and sagebrush flats. The recreation area is about 12 miles long and 10 miles wide. Sand Mountain, a wall of sand climbing nearly 700 feet, is the primary focal point for hill climbing.
The area is managed by the Bureau of Land Management – Fillmore Office.

Total strengthens its position in controversial project in Uganda
/ Financial News / Thursday, 23 April 2020 09:04
Total has announced that it will increase its stake in a major oil project in Uganda, which has been denounced by environmental and human rights NGOs.
The French group will acquire all the interests of the British oil company Tullow in the Lake Albert development project in Uganda and the East African Crude Oil Pipe Line (EACOP) project, which is to cross Tanzania.
Total is to pay Tullow $575 million as well as contingent payments, indexed to production and oil prices.
The British tanker was in negotiations with Total and the Chinese CNOOC to dispose of these assets, but negotiations stalled in 2019 over tax issues and taxation of the proceeds.
The agreement stalled over Tullow's refusal to pay capital gains tax to the Ugandan authorities on the resale of its shares and the willingness of Total and CNOOC, which would have increased their shares to 44.1%, to deduct the recovered assets from tax.
Tired of investing without any returns, and while waiting for a new agreement, Total had decided to freeze all its technical activities in the field.
Now, "an agreement-in-principle has been reached on the tax treatment of the transaction", according to Total.
According to the French NGO Friends of the Earth, "this agreement with Tullow and the Ugandan government, the result of a fiscal tug-of-war, will enable Total to relaunch its oil mega-project in a more positive way."
"We can therefore fear that the expulsion of tens of thousands of people will be accelerated, at the cost of serious human rights violations," said Juliette Renaud.
"This agreement with Tullow also means that Total's pressure on the Ugandan government to obtain better tax conditions has borne fruit, but the opacity on the content of their agreement remains total.
One thing is certain: this will deprive Uganda of resources for public services and in particular for coping with the current health crisis," she denounces.
The agreement "is fully in line with our strategy of acquiring long-term resources at low cost," welcomed Total CEO Patrick Pouyanné, quoted in the statement.
These two giant projects, carried out with the Chinese company CNOOC, are criticized by NGOs who accuse them of not taking into account the impacts on people and the environment.
Six French and Ugandan NGOs have summoned Total to force it to review its "vigilance plan", a provision imposed on all multinationals by a French law of 2017.
At the end of January, the judicial court of Nanterre (near Paris) declared itself incompetent and referred the case to the commercial court.
At the time, Total considered that "its due diligence plan complies with the provisions of the law on the duty of vigilance and seeks to identify risks that meet the associations' concerns".

I try to focus on the small details. The tiny ripples on the ocean that catch highlights from the sun are my subject for my ocean art collection. They tell the oldest story known to us. The battle between light and dark.


The intense medicane made landfall over the Peloponnese peninsula, Greece in the afternoon of September 29th. Numerous severe weather events were reported. Now we take a look at the state of the Mediterranean sea temperatures after the passing of the medicane.
The intense low pressure area and strong winds, associated with the development and movement of the intense medicane in the south Mediterranean sea, has also caused intense upwelling and mixing of near-surface water layers. The Mediterranean sea was mostly well above average over the past few months.
Looking at sea temperature anomalies below, negative anomalies are evident emerging along the medicane track, and in much of the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian sea. Not all negative anomalies are the result of the medicane, but also from the associated synoptic situation. The above average area in the SE Ionian sea could be associated with the area where the eye of the storm moved over with less intense winds [it can also be a slight error in the data assimilation process due to the presence of the strong medicane]. Later analysis will show more reliable results in that specific area.
Comparing September 29th and 25th (before the medicane) on the chart below, a sea temperature drop is evident in much of the Mediterranean and Adriatic Sea, and in most of the sub-regions. Some of the cooling is seasonal as we head deeper into autumn. As the anomaly chart above shows, the western and far eastern parts are still above the long term average, since the long term average temperature also decreases every day into late autumn and winter.
We will look at new data as it is available and provide you with updates on the state of the Mediterranean sea.


It doesn't come as shocking news that Selena Gomez and The Weeknd are spending every waking moment together.
Young love, am I right?!
Aside from a few ~cryptic~ appearances in each other's Instagram stories, we've mainly just witnessed them together through paparazzi shots. But THIS... this is really something.
While The Weeknd is currently on his world tour, Sel has tagged along to many of his shows. During Brazil show on the weekend, Selena herself appeared on the mega-big screen above everyone's heads while he performed.
Selena herself even posted a few backstage shots of her boo on her Instagram live story.

In response to this humanitarian crisis, Oxfam with its local partners is distributing 3,500 personal hygiene kits and will install 60 latrines, showers and provide access to drinking water.
"The migrants are sleeping outdoors, some with only thin plastic sheets or bedsheets to protect themselves from the rain. Others don't even have that much. They are sleeping on the pavement and in a park. Children, adolescents, women and elderly adults have been walking for over a week in the blazing sun. They are exhausted, desperate, hungry and terrified," said Ivan Aguilar, Humanitarian Coordinator for Oxfam in Guatemala.
The largest group of migrants is currently in Tecún Umán, a town on the extreme western end of Guatemala's border with Mexico. The Dr. Rodolfo Robles International Bridge, which spans the Suchiate River, separates Tecún Umán from Ciudad Hidalgo, in Mexico. According to information given to Oxfam by organizations working in the Northern Triangle of Central America, other caravans of migrants are on their way from Honduras and El Salvador, which will worsen the situation.
In response to this humanitarian crisis, Oxfam with its local partners is distributing 3,500 personal hygiene kits and will install 60 latrines, showers and provide access to drinking water in coordination with the Municipality of Tecún Umán. Oxfam will also distribute industrial kitchens and water filters to the shelters that are receiving migrants.
In Mexico, Oxfam will allocate resources from its Humanitarian Emergency Fund to support migrant rights organizations and shelter networks, which have strong expertise and are in the best position to directly provide care and protection to the migrants.
Between the 19th and 20th of October, a group of migrants was able to enter Mexico after they pushed through a metal border fence. This unleashed a confrontation between the Mexican police and members of the caravan. A yet to be determined number of migrants and various Mexican police officers were injured. Others jumped into the Suchiate River or onto precarious rafts made of tires to get across the border.
Oxfam calls on the Mexican authorities to heed the recommendations of organizations defending migrants' rights to grant prima facie recognition to the caravan, in accordance with Mexican and international laws, by which refugee status is recognized without requiring persons arriving in mass influx to present their case individually.
Oxfam has reiterated its call to the governments of Guatemala, Mexico and the United States to protect the people who are participating in this caravan and all migrants in general; to respect the principles of non-refoulement; to provide protection mechanisms to those who cannot return to their country of origin because of threats to their lives and safety; and to guarantee that children are not separated from their families.
Due to the danger that human trafficking rings pose to people in this area, we call upon the authorities in Guatemala and Mexico to be vigilant and to take measures to thwart the operation of these mafias which could take advantage of the thousands of people who are traveling in precarious conditions in this caravan.


MONTPELIER - Rev. Ronald C. Lawson was a seventh-generation Vermonter born Dec. 21, 1934, in Montpelier, Vermont. He died on Aug. 22, 2018. Ron was the second child of former Fire Chief Sidney F.

He went on to earn his A.B. degree in Russian from Middlebury College. Upon graduation in 1956, he was commissioned a 2nd lieutenant in the U.S. Army. This led to an interesting period in his life while serving with Army Intelligence. His first assignment was the Pentagon. He later completed a dual language course in German and Polish while assigned to a language school in Oberammergau, Bavaria, Germany. Ron fell in love with Oberammergau and the surrounding area. He spent his free time hiking or skiing the Alps. While living in Oberammergau, he formed lifelong friendships with many residents and although raised a Methodist, he felt a strong call to Catholicism. Oberammergau is the site of the world-famous Passion play. A year later, he was baptized at nearby Ettal Monastery and confirmed a Roman Catholic. He was stationed in West Berlin, Germany, during the Cold War. He witnessed the building of the Berlin Wall and often served as a Russian interpreter for official functions. Ron resigned from the Army in 1961 to begin priestly studies at St. John's Seminary in Boston, Massachusetts. Maria Von Trapp was a spiritual mentor and guided him in his developing religious life. She arranged a sabbatical for him back in Bavaria. He assisted at a local parish while working for a hospital in Preen. Ron continued his studies at the Grand Seminary of Montreal, PQ. He quickly brushed up his high school French. On May 5, 1970, Ron was ordained a Roman Catholic priest at St. Augustine's Church in Montpelier. Father Ron, as he was now known, returned to Canada and, for over a decade, acted as chaplain for St. Thomas High School in Pointe Claire, Quebec. In 1984, Father Ron was recalled to serve as a chaplain in the U.S. Army. After stateside assignments at Fort Meade, Maryland, and Fort Benning, Georgia, he returned to Germany. He served as a chaplain in Stuttgart before time back in West Berlin. He witnessed the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Father Ron served in Desert Storm during 1991. He often slept in a tent in the deserts of Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Father Ron completed his military service as a U.S. Army captain after serving as hospital chaplain in Heidelberg, Germany. At the age of 58, Father Ron spent the next decade with the Department of Veterans Affairs as a chaplain. During this period, Father Ron completed his master's degree at Boston College and became an addiction therapist. Later, he served as associate director for the VA National Headquarters in Hampton, Virginia. Father Ron retired from U.S. government service in 2002. He spent several years as senior priest-in-residence in Winchester and Chelmsford, Massachusetts, parishes. A parishioner, Richard Rotelli, wrote a biography of Father Ron called "Let there be light." As his health declined, Father Ron retired to his native Vermont. On Fridays, he enjoyed visiting the farmers market in Hardwick and sharing a pizza with his two brothers. His older brother, Milan, died in 2017. Father Ron is survived by his younger brother, Sidney Jr., of Montpelier, and his sister-in-law, Corinne Kelly Lawson and her son, Daniel, also of Montpelier. Father Ron enjoyed his many cousins and often celebrated outside Mass at Nelson Pond. He had a lifelong interest in his background and belonged to several genealogical organizations. He was an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox. Father Ron relished in the good cheer and fellowship of his many friends. He was proud of armed forces and all veterans. Father Ron had a deep faith. Rev. Lawson will lie in state at St. Augustine Church, 16 Barre Street, Montpelier, from 10 to 11 a.m., Wednesday, Sept. 5. Funeral Mass will be at 11 a.m. Burial will be in the family lot in Waterbury Center Cemetery. Online condolences may be sent to www.guareandsons.com.

Q: unable to get jquery clone to work correctly This is the js code that i have currently
<script src="jquery.js type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('input.clone').live('click', function(){
   //put jquery this context into a var
   var $btn = $(this);
   //use .closest() to navigate from the buttno to the closest row and clone it
   var $clonedRow = $btn.closest('tr').clone();
   //append the cloned row to end of the table

   //clean ids if you need to
   $clonedRow.find('*').andSelf().filter('[id]').each( function(){
       //clear id or change to something else
       this.id += '_clone';
   });

   //finally append new row to end of table
   $btn.closest('tbody').append( $clonedRow );
});
</script>

below this, i have my table, with the clone button at the end of that table, its named and ID'd as clone.
When i click it nothing happens.

A: as you told yourself, you had to assign the class clone to the button for the selector
$('input.clone')

to work.
had you used
$('input#clone') or even better $('#clone')
that would have worked for you, since  you said so yourself you ID'd it as clone.


Under the supervision of the National Parks Board of Singapore and supported by Reef Check Malaysia, Green Fins was introduced in 2016 to the dive centres of Singapore who frequently visit Pulau Tioman in Malaysia. Although there are some diving spots and certainly some snorkelling hotspots in Singapore, the majority of the diving businesses based in Singapore take their guests to nearby Malaysian reefs.
The National Parks Board have adopted the Green Fins Code of Conduct and use the Green Fins friendly diving and snorkelling guidelines (Green Fins icons) to help educate visiting tourists to help minimise their impact when snorkelling in the surrounding islands of Singapore.

Bill Gates, Hero
Written by Glenn Kelman on September 15, 2010
Press Ctrl / CMD + C to copy this to your clipboard.
It's a simple argument: Bill Gates is, by far, our industry's greatest hero. It's hard to believe we once saw Bill as the pie-splattered villain, and others as the idealists. And it's hard to understand why, even now, the entrepreneur whom our youth admire far more than Bill Gates is someone who has had great commercial success but little interest in the world around him.
I thought of this because I was just reading Bill's goofy comments at a Boy Scout ceremony, about weaving baskets and hiking 50 miles. His father, who has campaigned tirelessly for taxing the wealthy to fund education and balance the budget, talked about how proud he was of Bill, not as a titan of industry, but in a much humbler role: as a good citizen.
The article's image of Bill smiling mildly seemed like a miracle. He seemed happy with himself, not miserable about his competitors, or anxious about his next million-dollar toy.
That's quite a trick. A Plumtree customer who met Bill in the early '90's, away from Microsoft, described him only as "intensely awkward." Most prodigies are isolated by the intensity of their own thoughts, bereft by their distance from the businesses they created, unable to resist the urge to second-guess their successors.
And most have no idea what to do with their money, except to focus on buildings bearing their name, colleges that will admit their children or win a football championship, symphonies that will toast them on opening night.
Those are good causes, too. But Bill Gates is spending his money, time and passion on folks who are mostly invisible to the rest of the world, who don't necessarily share our values, who will never be able to thank him, who probably don't even know who he is.
Bill has won plenty of accolades for his foundation, but more from the world of charities and doctors than from us. When the digerati last year launched a rallying cry to give entrepreneurs the Nobel Prize, it was for the founders of Twitter, not Bill Gates. Undoubtedly, the Twitter folks are visionaries who deserve all that's coming to them. But Bill has been embraced more warmly by others than by his own.
Why do you think Silicon Valley has never quite come around on this guy? He deserves better.
I'm interested in buying, selling or a free consult with a Redfin Agent. *

Botox vs. Dysport vs. Xeomin: Which Treatment Is Right for You?
Which acts faster — Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin?
Which botulinum toxin injectable is the cheapest?
What are the adverse effects of botulinum toxin?
Dermatologists weigh in: which brand is best?
Is there a difference in potency between these three brands?
Three commonly used botulinum toxin products in the United States are Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin.
While their onsets differ, all three brands tend to last the same amount of time and cost the same amount.
The three brands are also considered equally safe, although their potency may differ.
You've probably heard of Botox at some point, but you may not know that it is just one of several currently available injectable botulinum toxin products on the market in the United States.
The three most commonly used cosmetic formulations of botulinum toxin are Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. Although these products are not directly interchangeable, they have similar profiles in terms of their uses, side effects, and cost.
Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin derived from Clostridium botulinum, a gram-positive bacterium discovered more than 100 years ago. It blocks nerve signals when injected into a muscle, thus preventing muscle contractions.
While Botox is approved for all these indications, Dysport and Xeomin are only approved for frown lines. However, they are also sometimes used off-label for the other indications.
While the effects may not become visible as quickly from one product to the other, they tend to last the same amount of time.
Botulinum toxin treatments usually take less than 15 minutes. According to its manufacturer, the effects of Botox can be evident within 48 hours, but in some cases it can take up to a week.
The manufacturer of Dysport reports a median onset of effects in roughly two to three days. The manufacturer of Xeomin reports that it takes an average of three to four days for the initial effects to become evident, and up to a month to appreciate the product's full effects.
All three last three to four months on average, with some patients seeing benefits for up to six months.
While it can vary substantially, the average cost of one treatment session of any of these products is approximately $385 in the United States.
Some medical spas play on these dosage differences to make their cost per treatment seem lower than their competitors'.
Botox has a savings program called Brilliant Distinctions.
Dysport offers a rewards program called ASPIRE.
Xeomin has a virtual rewards program called Xperience.
In the unlikely event that the toxin spreads beyond the intended site of action, which can occur hours or even weeks after the injection, patients may experience the symptoms of botulism, such as difficulty breathing or swallowing, muscle weakness, and slurred speech.
For someone who has used Botox for many years and finds it isn't working as well or lasting as long, Dr. Haley will change to Xeomin or Dysport. "Of course, the choice of the neurotoxin is often determined by patient experience, preference, and the loyalty program to which they belong," she adds.
It is also believed that patients are less likely to develop resistance to Xeomin than Botox or Dysport.
>>For further information on Dysport and Botox, read our article on the differences.
If you are considering botulinum toxin treatments, your first step should be to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon who has experience administering these products.
He or she will assist you in selecting the brand of injectables that best meets your needs, both aesthetically and financially.

ANZ's International and Institutional bank is more than covering its cost of capital as it moves from investment in building an Asian network to "production" and the division's chief executive Andrew Géczy believes a "through the cycle" return on equity of around 13 per cent is appropriate for the business.
"There is a group ROE target which you are familiar with…. Within that goal, my objective is to deliver a delta (the rate of return above an existing base) on my own divisional ROE," he said.
"Within that, clearly, any institutional business, whether mine, or domestic or international peers, the institutional ROE is going to be different to retail ROE. This is the portfolio effect, you will have a higher ROE in retail with lower growth but with our ROE around 13 and growing faster, we can add economic value."
Answering questions at the 2014 ANZ Asia Investor Tour in Hong Kong, Géczy noted investment banks and some global banks had delivered ROEs above 20 per cent, even into the 30s, before the financial crisis but had now crashed.
Géczy added there was inevitably a lag in the build up of ROE after scale, platforms and other infrastructure is built out.
Replying to a question about how ANZ was competing on the one hand with global banks like Citigroup, HSBC and Standard Chartered and the major Australian banks on the other, Géczy said ANZ had two major advantages: against the global banks, clients like the Asia Pacific focus while other Australian banks did not have the networks and on-the-ground depth of coverage.
"When I look at some of our international competitors I see problems that don't have anything to do with Asia," he said. Those problems, whether in America or Europe, meant these banks didn't have the focus on Asia and were also withdrawing investment from the region.
Moreover, it suited many clients that ANZ specialised in Asia Pacific because it allowed clients, particularly other financial institutions, to regiment their activities and not have to deal with a bank in Asia that then wanted to extend the business to Latin America or Europe.
"That's why we are gaining market share and on measures like Greenwich (the most widely watched survey of bank performance in Asia)," Géczy said.
The head of risk for IIB Doug Stolberg told the investors and analysts at the forum credit quality performance at the bank was improving despite the business growing faster. The risk team together with transaction and relationship bankers had done 17 reviews over the last year including assessments of the impact on clients of falls in the Indian rupee and the Indonesian rupiah.
There had also been a major review of Chinese port operations well before problems emerged with the existence of assets at the Chinese port of Qingdao. That review had found no direct impact on ANZ's business and any indirect impact – of which there was no evidence – would be immaterial.
"Our approach helps us to get ahead of the curve, we do pro-active reviews," Stolberg said. He added embedding risk disciplines in all sectors of the business was contributing to better credit loss performance.
In another presentation, head of global markets and loans Steve Bellotti described how the growing diversification of ANZ's markets business was both helping returns and lowering volatility.
Using what he described as a key metric, markets revenue per dollar of value at risk, Bellotti said that number had improved from $42 million per $1 million at risk to the high hundreds - $198 million in 2013 and $163 million in 2014.
Bellotti said some of that improvement came as post-financial market volatility eased but the bulk was the benefit of being in different geographies, different market segments with different clients.

Nuage builds its own services gateway to integrate bare-metal servers into its overlay network.
Nuage Networks announced a top-of-rack services gateway for connecting bare-metal servers to its network virtualization overlay.
Nuage's Virtual Services Gateway (VSG) 7850 is engineered to integrate with the company's Virtual Services Platform overlay. Based on merchant network silicon, the VSG 7850 has full Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality. Like all products from Nuage, which is an Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) subsidiary, the device runs SR-OS, ALU's network operating system.
Nuage's approach to integrating bare-metal servers with its own gateway contrasts with VMware's strategy of partnering with top-of-rack switch vendors --like Juniper Networks, Brocade and Arista Networks -- to deliver that functionality to its NSX network virtualization overlay customers. Nuage said it is also working with undisclosed partners to develop so-called "white box" top-of-rack gateway devices.
While network virtualization overlays are good at automating network services for hypervisor hosts, bare-metal servers lack the software to allow them to participate in the overlay. In that case, network engineers need a services gateway to connect these servers to the overlay.
"If you're looking at deploying overlay networking in a grayfield environment, chances are there is some non-virtual infrastructure in play," said blogger Bob McCouch, a network engineer with a technology services firm. "Without some type of overlay gateway function, these devices wouldn't easily be able to participate in those overlay networks."
"Without gateways, there's no implementation, much less a migration path," said Brent Salisbury, a network engineer for the University of Kentucky. "It's a whole lot like taking vanilla IP networks and migrating them to MPLS 10 years ago. You have this juggling act where half the network is X and the other[is] Y."
Software-based gateways or gateway appliances situated further from the server rack can offer this integration, but they lack the high-performance capabilities of a top-of-rack device, which is why VMware announced so many top-of-rack gateway partners at VMworld in August. The VSG 7850 gives Nuage customers an integrated 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet device with 1 Tbps of capacity.
"The VSG 7850 is chock-full of 10 Gb and 40 Gb ports," McCouch said. "No virtual appliance gateway could reasonably scale to that performance." By having a hardware gateway that is fully integrated with its overlay, Nuage also offers a seamless product to customers. "I would liken Nuage's approach to Apple's with computers. VMware's approach is more like Microsoft's approach to Windows: There are a number of hardware manufacturers, and hopefully they'll all be building things just right so the software works consistently. If two of the third-party vendors begin to diverge in their implementation of some relevant detail, it could make problems for VMware in trying to keep the behavior and experience consistent."
McCouch said a homegrown gateway also gives Nuage a potential technical support advantage.
"Although VMware has gotten better with providing end-to-end support for partner-integrated solutions -- like the Cisco Nexus 1000V -- there could still come a time when they end up in a finger-pointing match with one of these ecosystem customers," he said. "If Nuage is selling a Nuage-branded piece of hardware loaded with Nuage software, the buck will stop with Nuage."
Nuage claimed the VSG 7850's Layer 3 functionality outstrips the Layer 3 capabilities of the top-of-rack gateway options presented by VMware NSX. Nuage is using merchant silicon that has a limited Layer 3 feature set, as do many of the switch vendors that have partnered with VMware. But Nuage has added some "enhancements" to the platform to extend its Layer 3 capabilities.
"This is the only gateway that has Layer 3, high-scale, multi-tenant capabilities," said Sunil Khandekar, CEO of Nuage. The VSG 7850's complete Layer 3 feature set enables Nuage's overlay to support high-performance networking for multi-tiered Web applications. It also enables hybrid clouds and cloud bursting across the WAN.
"If I am an enterprise, I have to keep sensitive applications separate in my own data center, but I also would like to burst into the public cloud," said Houman Modarres, senior director of product marketing at Nuage. "You can do exactly that with Layer 3, but you need a robust, multi-tenant, Layer 3 implementation."
"If they can drive MPLS to the gateway, that makes it a lot easier for carriers, because then the provider edge is also the SDN edge," Salisbury said.
With the VSG 7850 and SR-OS, Nuage is aiming its overlay product at ALU's sweet spot of customers: telecom service providers that are looking for network virtualization options in their data centers and cloud service offerings.
"Alcatel-Lucent has a significant install base in wireless operators and a variety of service providers, and I think this is a gateway option that had to be there [for those customers]," said Brad Casemore, research director at IDC. Those service providers have large data centers with a significant footprint of bare-metal servers, and a high-performance gateway based on ALU's technology will appeal to them, he said.
Nuage might find the enterprise a harder sell for its overlay technology, given ALU's limited presence there and the range of established enterprise vendors who are introducing overlay products, including VMware, Juniper and IBM, Casemore said.
The Nuage VSG 7850 will be generally available in the fourth quarter of this year.
How is this different from Pica8, Cumulus, HP, white-boxes, Arista, Cisco, Juniper and the myriad of companies. Seems like a very crowded space to be.

In the study, which was conducted at the University of Chicago, patients in the intervention group were monitored with EarlySense's sleep monitor instead of being woken up for nightly vital checks.
With constant interruptions and vital checks, getting a good night of sleep in the hospital can be a challenge for patients.
But a recent EarlySense study conducted at the University of Chicago found that using the company's contact-free remote monitoring system as an alternative to waking patients up for vital check throughout the night led to better sleep and satisfaction for patients.
"What the study actually shows is ... you get improvement in sleep quality, patient satisfaction and the efficiency of the nursing team by focusing their attention on the patients that really need care, and those that are stable and low risk don't need to be woken up at all," Avner Halperin, CEO of EarlySense, told MobiHealthNews.
The study included approximately 150 patients, who were divided into a control and an intervention group, according to Halperin. Low-risk patients in the intervention group were not woken up at night between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Researchers estimated that this practice could lead to a reduction in overnight staff workloads, decreasing costs by $200,000 to $550,000 per 100 hospital beds per year.
The study is now being submitted to peer-reviewed journals for publication.
In a hospital setting patients are typically woken up several times a night for vital checks. Studies have shown that sleep disruptions are associate with negative health outcomes including elevated blood pressure, delirium, and delayed healing.
EarlySense is pitching its technology as an alternative to the manual checks that require waking a patient up.
EarlySense made headlines in December when it announced that it was integrating with Hill-Rom's Centrella model hospital bed. The company said that the new technology would be able to measure heart rate and respiratory rate over 100 times per minute.
A month later EarlySense announced a $39 million funding round led by Hill-Rom and Wells Fargo. At the time the company said that the new money would be used for expanding its AI analytics capabilities and grow sales both internationally and domestically.

What you are looking up there is a populated desktop of one of our colleagues – Sssh, don't let this information get leaked. We hope, you can acknowledge the mismanaged and disorganized data, stacked in different folders. The mess would just get even messier if we were to open one of these folders, which in itself stores even more stacks of data.
Making it more difficult, to manage the generated data.
And, this is just a small sample.
When you talk about teams, departments and the organization on whole, the data set gets even bigger with each successive link up.
Now consider managing this data.
You have to acquire it, you have to validate it, you have to store it, you have to protect it and you have to process it to ensure that the data is accessible, reliable and up-to-date for use.
It's pretty evident that data management comes with a set of challenges.
That doesn't mean you sit down and cringe in frustration. Today, we will present the top 5 data management challenges (discussed in random order) and will help you overcome them.
There is your customer data. There is your client information. There is the information that concerns your investors. There is the information about your rivals. There is a complete data set structured around your business operations. There is information about your business transactions. There is information about market research and channels.
There is information, and more information; data and stockpiles of data—everywhere, generated every second. And, the more data is collected, the larger is the data storage requirement. Moreover, it's not just about storing this data; it's about storing it safely.
Well, you can't just utilize the magnetic disks available at your disposal. Depending on your needs, you need a much larger data storage bank to accommodate the strings of bytes.
Well, you can use network attached storage solutions. You can use cloud based solutions. You can invest in data libraries. You can leverage a solution that combines all these options.
Just make sure, whichever data storage solution you use, it must offer high level of protection and security features, like data encryption, network encryption and authentication systems. You have to protect the stored data.
According to AIM Global Reference Data Management Survey, regulatory compliance has been one of the major data management challenges that organizations have to face.
Regulatory compliance basically implies that the acquisition, storage and exchange of data should comply with industry standards specified for that particular type of data. One example is the medical data which needs to be handled as per HIPAA standards. Failing to comply, can lead to severe legal consequences.
You need to invest in data management solutions which are designed in compliance with the set standards, rather than looking to deploy ad hoc solutions. There are many turnkey solutions available in the market in terms of file sharing, cloud storage and document management systems.
Who needs access to your data?
How much access does an individual should be conferred with?
Who should have the control over data management decisions?
First of all you need to sit down and draft a plan about the way your data is intended to be used.
Your sales department will need the customer history record and transaction records. Your marketing team will need the data that relates with the market research and promotional and advertising campaigns. Your customers may need the information of the invoices. Your QA department will need the batch processing information.
Once you have identified the possible routing of stored data and decided on the limit of accessibility, you then need to assign administrators (the fewer, the better) and grant them the privileges of regulating and monitoring access controls.
With varied structured data, all dispersed across different channels, probably the biggest challenge comes in form of integrating the collected data.
The receipt and expense data, stored on one software platform may need to be imported to an accounting platform like QuickBooks.
Similarly, customer data gathered from social media channels, Google Analytics, emails and other modes may need to be integrated together to present it in one comprehensive buyer persona report.
Likewise, it could be the need to export contact into a CRM or email client application from a scanning software.
Deployment of adaptive technology is the solution in this case. Turnkey database management solutions are available in the market that can automate relationships between different databases, allowing efficient communication and access between remote and disparate data stores. These solutions come equipped with features that present the collected data into valuable representations.
Presently, majority of data throughput is yielded in the form of unstructured data. This data is of no use until or unless it is structured, which promises to carry revealing insight and valuable business intelligence. This is the next challenge in data management.
The solution lies with using automation systems to actively classify the unstructured data, adding system metadata and user metadata, and eliminating any encountered redundancy to successfully transform it into structured data.
Every process is characterized with challenges, and data management is no exception to this rule. However, as discussed and proposed, each of the challenges associated with data management can be successfully handled, opening endless possibilities for businesses to leverage the power of data for un-scaled growth.
