Settling the Score
Claire Boling, Timbre Cierpke, and Kelly Corcoran discuss classical music in Nashville and beyond
The world of classical music is unfortunately—yet perhaps unsurprisingly—male-dominated. While it's certainly not uncommon for women to perform in symphonies, operas, or choirs around the country, there's still a staggering gender equality gap in classical programming and conducting.
According to a June study conducted by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, only 1.8 percent of pieces performed by the top twenty-two US orchestras in the 2014–2015 season were composed by women. And as of 2013, out of 103 high-budget US orchestras, 90 percent were conducted by men.
Living composers (both female and male) don't fair too well either. Roughly 11 percent of pieces performed by the aforementioned top twenty-two orchestras in the country were composed by living composers. But even among living composers, the gap remains: 85.7 percent male, 14.3 percent female.
Luckily, Nashville is home to a host of women who are challenging the idea that classical music is created by and for a bunch of old (or in most cases, dead) men. We had the honor of partnering with the Nashville Opera to facilitate a roundtable discussion with three such women: Claire Boling, a soprano at the Nashville Opera; Timbre Cierpke, the harpist/vocalist/composer behind Timbre and director of Sonus Choir; and Kelly Corcoran, the artistic director and conductor of INTERSECTION Contemporary Music Ensemble.
ON NASHVILLE'S PERCEPTION OF CLASSICAL MUSIC:
CORCORAN: Generally speaking, I do think that the average person maybe if they haven't experienced classical music and you ask them about it, they're going to say, "'I don't know if I would like that,' or 'That's not for me.'" There are these barriers. I don't know if you guys would agree. I guess it's better here because of the general culture of consuming music. It might be easier to get somebody to say, "Oh sure, I'll try that," but I think the barrier is still there for sure.
BOLING: I think we have to work really hard to break that and reach the younger audiences. The opera, you're dealing with Mozart and all these people that were alive years and years ago. We have to pick stuff that would be more acceptable to someone in their twenties going to see a show—something that they can relate to. I think as a whole it is Music City, and Music City is open to all music and not just the country scene. I mean, the symphony center is right across from the Country Music Hall of Fame, for crying out loud. At least we got that going for us! [laughs]
CIERPKE: I think Nashville has a high percentage of artistic people and it draws artistic people. By definition, people in that personality are going to be more experimental and willing to try different things. I think they're also more oriented toward experience, like having an experience. I think that's something that classical offers that's different from anything else. Even if [listeners] don't have context for [a performance] but have experienced it before, they recognize it when they see it and then they want more of it. I think that's an opportunity that happens in Nashville more than most places. It might be hard to get audiences there the first time, but once they have a good experience, they're going to be dedicated to it. People in Nashville are so dedicated to music that once they find their value in it, they're going to stick to it.
ADVICE FOR NASHVILLIANS ATTENDING A CLASSICAL PERFORMANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME:
CIERPKE: If I had a friend who had never listened to classical music and they wanted to go to their first symphony concert, my personal idea would be for them to come to something that's more emotionally engaging. For me that's Romantic-era, Russian, or French composers, because I feel like [they're] so dynamic, and even if you don't have a lot of training, you can catch the emotion because it's very much emotionally oriented. I would recommend against starting out with something like Mozart because it's more formula and less emotion. Some people really connect to that, but I think if you don't have a context for understanding the structure, it's going to be boring for a lot of people. That would be my first suggestion: jump into the more dynamic composers, find a concert that has the Russians or something from the Romantic era. That's going to be the most engaging.
BOLING: Turandot was the highest-grossing production [The Nashville Opera] has done. About ten of my friends who had never been to an opera before came to this one because it was a spectacle. It was grand. It was loud. It was emotional. The costumes were amazing. It was an experience that got almost all of the senses. I don't know if you could taste the opera [laughs], but you could at least get the rest of them in there—[you could] feel the sound waves going through your hair. I think as far as an old classic, it's great to have something that is just massive and a spectacle so they can really see how grand [classical music] can actually be.
CORCORAN: I think there's two things functioning: the listening experience of how we engage with this music, and then the physical experience of going to a concert and whether or not you feel a sense of belonging. On the listening side, I totally agree with all that you guys have said about these Romantic pieces and these big masterpieces and just the full scope. I would say to somebody, "There is no right or wrong in terms of how you feel or how you react to this." If you listen to this thing for forty-five minutes and you're like, "Okay, I have no idea why, but I really enjoy it," that's okay. Your association and connection with the music will deepen the more and more that you listen to it.
ON DEFINING CLASSICAL MUSIC:
CORCORAN: I've put a lot of thought into this since there certainly was a lot of discussion when I started INTERSECTION about, "Should we be calling it composed music or something else?" Craig Havighurst, who is on our board, put this whole article together about making the case for calling it "composed music" . . . At the beginning, when I launched into this internal discussion, there was a period of time where I was like, "Well, I don't really want to call it classical." I almost felt like making apologies for the word classical. And then at a certain point I said, "You know what, I'm going to call it classical until we come up with a better word that really encapsulates all of it."
CIERPKE: Honestly, I feel like that word is changing anyway. [With] the rise of so many neoclassical crossover artists and new composers, the name itself is changing. It's being redefined just because of the people that are pursuing it. I think that's more maybe what our role is if we feel like it's got a stigma attached to it: let's remove the stigma and recreate how it feels. I think that is happening. Even the idea of neoclassical, that's the genre my band is in . . . that's still being defined. To me, in my understanding, it's usually classical instrumentation but more on the songwriting side. Or it's also minimalism, like all these things just mushed together, but it's all under this umbrella of classical, and I think that's the point. It's becoming less and less defined, and because of that, it's becoming more and more accessible.
BOLING: Everything is a crossover, everything we do I feel like these days.
CIERPKE: There is no art that's not influenced by something else—whether it's influenced by other music or whether it's influenced by literature or philosophy of the time. You can even look back at when Debussy was writing, you can see that you also had the impressionist artists. You can look at Monet and listen to Debussy and see how they completely go together. I think the same thing is happening now. Classical music is being deeply influenced by culture, and culture, whether it realizes it or not, is being influenced by classical music. Some of those boundaries that we set with our semantics don't actually exist.
I've had those reviews in newspapers where at the end they say, "And she did it all in heels!"
ON THE PREVALENCE OF WOMEN IN CLASSICAL MUSIC LEADERSHIP ROLES, IN NASHVILLE AND NATIONALLY:
CORCORAN: I do think that there are a lot of strong creative women in Nashville, and I love having the camaraderie of my fellow strong woman creative colleagues in the city in artistic leadership positions. I'm not sure I would narrow that to conducting specifically, but just in terms of arts leaders in classical music, I think there's a lot of great women in power.
But I think [the number of women in classical music leadership roles] is absolutely still an issue. I think it's, frankly speaking, such a hard thing to talk about . . . I've had those reviews in newspapers where at the end they say, "And she did it all in heels!" and those kinds of things where it's like, "Okay, but what about how the performance was? Was it necessary to say that at the end of the review?" That wasn't here in Nashville. That was somewhere else . . . I think the fact that we're at a point where it's still this taboo thing to have female conductors, it means that obviously it's still an issue. I guess what I'm trying to say is, [I used to] narrow the conversation to, "Well, I just think about the music and I just focus on the music and it all goes away." But the reality is, I focus on the music, and it doesn't all go away.
BOLING: I don't deal with as much of the leadership as you two with your own groups and everything, but as far as the involvement, I'm only in one show a year because we have so many sopranos. There are tons of women involved in creating the music and wanting to be a part of things. We're always looking for more opportunities so we can actually get in front of people and make music. Leadership, I think it's still an issue, but I think we're making leaps and bounds all the time.
CIERPKE: [To Corcoran] I so respect what you're doing and how much respect you've garnered as a female conductor. That's something that's super, super lacking in the classical world. One of the symphonies that I played in, when they were going through an audition process for a conductor, there was one woman out of six people applying. Even in the orchestra, I heard so many comments. "She did great for a woman conductor"—that was a prevalent comment. You'll hear people say, "She's a good drummer for a girl" . . . There's a qualification for it. There's an expectation that it's going to be lower value. That expectation is what we're pushing against.

Sitting in the first Keynote for the 2013 Techno Security and Forensics Investigation Conference, I was not surprised to hear Kevin Mandia say that in their recent investigations, they had found anti-virus installed and working with the latest definitions. Yet these systems were still infected with malware. In short, AV had failed to stop the malware.
So why is there a corporate and personal insistence on having anti-virus installed, especially in the Windows world? It's probably because we value its protection too heavily. To be blunt, AV stops the easy attacks. It typically stops the attacks that we've known about, attacks that will get you if you have no protection at all. So while AV has some worth, it's not the magical full plate armor that too many folks think it is. Why is that?
It used to be that we saw AV definitions update about once a month. Then that shortened to about every two weeks. Then it was weekly. Then it was even daily. However, nowadays a lot of organizations are pulling AV definitions down more often than once a day. I know some organizations have hourly checks to pull the latest definitions and get them distributed to their AV clients. Why are so many updates required? Quite simply, because AV is still primarily signature based. What that means is that the AV companies are effectively "fingerprinting" the malware. Those "fingerprints" are what are used to detect the malware. Those are what we mean by AV definitions. Therefore, as you discover new malware, you have to develop new definitions because you're going to have to include their "fingerprints." And every once in a while there are false positives.
This alone should cause you to pause. What if the malware isn't known about, will there be definitions? Obviously, there won't be. Therefore, if we're speaking of brand new or very tightly targeted attacks, AV won't detect the malware based on signatures. Therefore, the malware gets in and it runs, most of the time. That's why no AV gets a 100% rate.
What about Behavior Based Detection?
This is a great idea, in theory. The problem on a live system is that what an AV application may detect as potential malicious behavior is, in fact, legitimate. For instance, a lot of malware creates an HTTP connection to either grab updates or grab additional malware to bring down. To the OS, this doesn't look very different than when you click on that link in your favorite Twitter client. As a result, AV has to be careful not to be too aggressive. Because of this, there's a lot of latitude for malware to operate. And if you don't think malware writers are aware of behavior heuristics in AV programs, think again.
Unlike some code, malware gets tested before "production." We're past the stage of folks writing viruses that are just comical in nature. Now we're talking about stealing money or stealing secrets. That means you've got professional players in the game. When you have professionals, and when you talk about the worth of the data or assets they are stealing, they want to make sure their stuff works. When it comes to folks on the criminal financial side, we're talking millions of dollars on the line. Therefore, they test.
How do they test? Basically, they run their malware against the known AV engines and see if the engines get detected. At the very least, something like VirusTotal gets used. Therefore, the attackers already know if their malware is going to get detected. If it does, they work on it. By the way, when they see definitions pop up for one of their malware tools, they know to deploy a new tool. In this regard, AV actually works against those trying to do the investigations as to who is hacking and what they're up to.
Let's say a particular piece of malware gets submitted. Does that mean it automatically gets included in the AV definitions? The short answer is, "No." Definitions are determined by a whole host of factors. Among them is if it's clearly identified as a threat. Why do I say that? Well, take Stuxnet, for instance. It was discovered in 2010 but believed to have been created in 2009. Only that's not the whole story. It seems that Symantec found traces of it way back in 2005.
Another thing to remember is the sheer volume of malware submissions in today's world. Before, researchers had time to hand check every submission. It was still practical to do so. Nowadays submissions run through a filter of automated checks. Why is that? I have seen estimates in the neighborhood of 250,000 submissions a day. I know in 2009 the number was about 50,000 per day. Now, some of those are already known. Others aren't malware. So it's very possible something with very new behavior, especially if it doesn't appear to be aggressively malicious, can be missed.
As to what other factors there are? Part of it is impact and spread. We know this because when we've had major outbreaks, we've seen AV companies rush to get signatures out the door. With targeted attacks, there aren't many samples and there aren't many infections. It may be harder to get a signature together to put in a definition. And that means the malware stays viable all the longer.
So Should We Trash Anti-Virus?
No, it still serves a purpose. Just realize its limited effectiveness. It's going to stop most known and common threats. It's not going to stop a targeted threat. It's not going to stop a threat from what we're calling Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). It's not going to stop a brand new threat that the AV companies haven't had time to analyze. Therefore, AV is only a small part of the overall security picture. Too many organizations and people rely on it as a major player in a security response. It shouldn't be. Those days are gone.


I haven't written much about Hyperemesis Gravidarum in a while. It's hard for me to write about. It's hard for me to remember. But I realized recently that even harder than remembering it is living through it, and right now there are women all over the world suffering from HG. So today I'm breaking my silence on HG and doing my part to spread the word about this disease.
For those who don't know, Hyperemesis Gravidarum is a life threatening form of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. Some folks might say that it's like morning sickness, and I guess it is, if morning sickness lasted all day every day for months on end and caused you to vomit so much that it endangered your life. It's awful. It's ugly and brutal, and it kills mothers and babies. That's why it's important that we talk about it.
I'm a two-time survivor of HG, and you can read about my experience under the Hyperemesis Gravidarum category.
If you're suffering from HG, you can check out my hyperemesis gravidarum protocol here. It might be useful to print this off to share with your doctor if you're sick or to make notes for yourself on if you're planning another pregnancy.
Recently, there's been some buzz in the news about Zofran and the possibility that it has been linked to birth defects. One of the things I'm happiest to share is this study from UCLA that found no evidence that Zofran causes birth defects. This is huge! Zofran has saved the lives of many women with HG, and maintaining access to life-saving treatments is so important. I'll share a post later with more about my experience with Zofran, but I thought it was important enough to get this life-saving news out as soon as possible. I didn't want to wait to tell you all.
HG is terrible, but there are ways you can help.
You can participate in research studies. If you or a relative has had HG, you can check here to see if you qualify for the research UCLA is conducting to find out if there are genetic links with HG sufferers.
Click here to learn more about the study.
You can sign this petition asking lawmakers to support more study on HG.
More than anything, you can talk about HG. So many mothers suffer in silence. I spent 12 weeks of my first pregnancy covering up how sick I was because I felt guilty for being a wimp about morning sickness. I'd never heard of HG, and learning that I had it and that it was real probably saved my life. Even many doctors don't recognize HG as being real, so talking about this and spreading the word can save lives.
If you know someone who has HG, reach out to her. This disease is so isolating. Understand that she may not be up to hanging out, but knowing that you're thinking of her can really help. So can helping with more mundane things like dishes, laundry, babysitting kids so she can rest, and meals for the family.
She may need help getting to the doctor's office or the pharmacy. Let her know that resources like HelpHer.org are out there. Keep an eye on her and if it seems like the treatment isn't working, help advocate for her with medical professionals. I remember going into my 2nd round of HG prepared and ready to fight, but when I was in the thick of it, I just didn't have it in me to correct the random doctors in the hospital who told me there was nothing wrong with me. Even the fiercest woman may need help standing up for herself when she is so desperately ill.
If you have Hyperemesis Gravidarum know that you are not alone.
I see you. I know your struggle. I remember. I stand with you. Please reach out to friends, family, HelpHer, facebook groups, and wherever you can find support. You are not suffering from this because you are weak. You are so, so strong even though it feels like you're breaking apart at the seams. More than anything, you are not alone.
Next Tick Season has Arrived, But It's Going to be Okay.

altoholic
When used in reference to MMORPG's (Massive Multi-Player Online Role Playing Games), such as World of Warcraft or Everquest, refers to a person who creates many different characters, rather than just one or two. May also be used to refer to a player who creates characters on many different servers of the same game, where the experiences they see will often be different from each other.
Use of the word is intended to be comical in nature, a play on the word "alcoholic" and will often garner laughter from others if used correctly.
Often only used online, and usually only on chat forums.
"I have over twenty characters spread out over five servers! I'm such an altoholic!"

Altoholism
A condition that affects MMORPG gamers in which they re-roll new characters whenever they reach the 40 to 50 level range. This is usually due to the player not finding the endgame enjoyable and the player having the urge to continue to play the game as opposed to growing bored of it due to a high level character.
I'm simply in no hurry to bring my character to a point where I no longer really enjoy it. Due to Altoholism I roll new characters every time I get into that mid forties/fifties range.

A County Laois design student has created a bespoke augmented reality (AR) trophy that was presented at an international clean-tech start-up programme in Berlin on Friday 5 October.
The design by Diarmuid Farrell was presented to the winner of Free Electrons 2018, an international accelerator programme for start-ups in the clean-tech energy space. ESB is one of the nine global utilities that is part of the programme to support entrepreneurs and start-ups to transform the energy market with next generation ideas.
Earlier this year, ESB challenged Irish design students to create an innovative trophy for the competition final. Diarmuid – a third year student at the National College of Art and Design – created the trophy from one piece of folded sheet metal.
The AR aspect works by using image targets which a phone can read and can project the digital elements in real time.
Irish start-up – GridWatch Mac – was selected as one of the final 15 global companies to participate in the programme. The Limerick-based electronics and software company provides smart data monitoring for energy utilities.
During the six month programme, GridWatch worked with the global utilities, including ESB, to refine and test their product with the potential to reach 73 million customers. The winner of the programme – SOLshare from Bangladesh – also received $200,000 in prize money.
ESB hosted the final in 2017 and continues to work with a number of the finalists to enhance their products. This includes Climote, the home heating control specialists and Driivz, the e-mobility experts. ESB is also trialling products with solar designers HST Solar, smart grid experts Depsys and the 2017 winner BEON which specialises in residential solar products.

Claudia Mendoza: Iranian Nuclear Programme
Posted on July 23 2015, 1:33 PM
JLC Head of Policy and Research Claudia Mendoza discusses the recent agreement on the future of the Iranian nuclear programme.
On Tuesday 14 July, Iran and the P5 +1 (UK, US, France, Russia, China and Germany) finally reached agreement on the future of the Iranian nuclear programme. A provisional agreement had been reached in November 2013, but deadlines were repeatedly missed and extended after negotiating countries failed to reach a final settlement in July 2014, November 2014, and again on 30 June 2015.
This April, negotiators reached a framework deal that established "parameters" for the final deal. Together with the Board of Deputies, the Jewish Leadership Council issued a statement outlining our concerns that this framework deal did not take into account Iran's divisive and disruptive behaviour in the Middle East region and beyond, and which cited Iran's support for proxies such as Hezbollah and its propagation of Antisemitism and Holocaust denial.
For all the talk of a deal with Iran paving the way for Iran to modify its regional behaviour, it should not be overlooked that as talks between the negotiating parties were at their pinnacle in Vienna, Iran marked 'Al Quds Day' (Jerusalem Day) – "an international day of struggle against Israel and for the liberation of Jerusalem". This holiday takes place on the last Friday of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan (July 10th this year) and has been an annual fixture in the Iranian calendar since Ayatollah Khomeini took power in 1979.
Any hope that Iran would - even temporarily - mitigate its belligerence while negotiations continued, were shattered when the country's supposed reformist president Hasan Rouhani was to be found among his countrymen marching prominently in the rallies where chants of "Death to America, Death to Israel" were heard.
Indeed, according to Press TV, Iran's mouthpiece in the West, "Iranians from all walks of life turned out in droves in the capital, Tehran, and in over 770 towns and cities across the country to show support for Palestinians in the face of Israel's crimes and atrocities". Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard Corps released a statement in the lead-up to Friday's ceremonies saying the destruction of Israel was the Muslim World's top priority.
Al Quds Day consists of large rallies and a characteristically belligerent display of contempt for the West, including the burning of American, Israeli and British flags. This year Saudi Arabia received pride of place in the pantheon of hatred alongside more customary targets. In order to circumvent the fact that the Saudi flag bears the Shahada inscription "There is no god but God, Muhammad is the messenger of God" – which would ordinarily preclude its burning – it was depicted as a green canvas with the words 'Al Saud', thereby allowing for its incineration. Posters and effigies of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Saudi King Salman and U.S. President Barack Obama were also set ablaze.
Such a scene should serve as a reminder to us all that the U.S. and Israel remain Iran's top enemies. The world may choose to turn a blind eye to Iran's fanatical ideology or try to excuse and wish it away but Iran makes no secret of its intentions. We rationalise it at our peril.
When Jeffrey Goldberg recently interviewed President Obama, he asked him whether the virulent and frequently expressed Jew hatred that senior Iranian officials spew had him concerned. Walter Russell Mead wrote at length about this question and (unsatisfactory) response. Are Antisemites ultimately rational actors who happen to hold despicable views? Or he asks, does their prejudice warp their perception of the world so fundamentally that they calculate risks and rewards differently from most Western elites?
Russell Mead argues that all forms of bigotry are ugly but that Jew hatred may well be the most damaging to the hater's ability to understand the world. It takes the form of a belief that conspiratorial groups of super-empowered Jews run the world in secret, cleverly manipulating the news media and the intelligentsia to hide the truth of their control. Someone who really believes that is incapable of understanding the way the world actually works.
While President Obama agrees that Antisemitism is abhorrent and that Iran's regime is riddled with it, he believes ultimately that it is not that important a factor, and certainly does not mean Iran's leadership should be considered an irrational actor. Much of the criticism directed at Obama has been that he believes everyone sees the world as he does.
We must hope, not just for the sake of Israel and the region but for the world, that this deal does not allow Iran to dictate terms for America's broader Middle East policy. The releasing of billions of dollars in repatriated oil revenues will enable the regime to bolster its sponsorship of its terror proxies such as Hamas and Hezbollah in unprecedented ways. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has already congratulated Iran's Supreme Leader, saying "we are confident that the Islamic Republic of Iran will support, with greater drive, just causes of nations and work for peace and stability in the region and the world". Unfortunately, there is a great danger that the U.S. will feel beholden to a deal over which it has expended so much political capital, and dither in the face of continued Iranian aggression.
The last thing anyone wants is another war. We must hope that this deal – which if implemented, gives Iran the right to enrich unlimited quantities of uranium after a decade or so – does not pave the way to one. The world powers must restate their red lines, their ability to impose them, and the consequences if they are crossed. They must also mean what they say otherwise this deal will just be another opportunity for Iran to bolster its regional ambitions unhindered.


Watch Ghost Hunting Programs for free here!
Re: Watch Ghost Hunting Programs for free here!
This is a great website it has a lot of shows on the paranormal you can watch for free. My favorite show is "Ghost Adventures" which airs on the Travel channel. I believe a new season is starting this Friday. This is one of the best shows I have ever seen on ghosts as they get some great camera footage of ghostly activity and these three guys actually stay overnight in haunted locations (like haunted houses, abandened jails and hospitals). On one episode, they caught a brick flying through the air on their camera. This footage was sent to a couple of photography experts and was shown to be authentic. I hope this show comes out on dvd sometime. It's one of the most popular shows on ghost hunting on tv today!

Poka secures $30 million CAD to scale factory worker training solution
Quebec City-based software startup Poka, which offers an edtech platform for factory workers, has secured around $30 million CAD ($25 million USD) in Series B financing.
The all-equity round was led by 40 North Ventures with participation from McRock Capital and existing Poka investors SE Ventures, CDPQ, Robert Bosch Venture Capital, and Leclerc. The financing brings Poka's total funding to date to more than $54 million CAD ($45 million USD).
Poka helps factory employees learn how to execute tasks, solve problems and share knowledge.
With fresh capital and the backing of key investors familiar with the needs of the industrial space, Poka has set its sights on accelerating its product development efforts and growing its sales team to meet the demand for its software, land new clients, and help factories navigate the manufacturing skills crisis.
Founded in 2014, Poka offers a software platform that aims to give manufacturers "a single hub for operational knowledge and collaboration on the factory floor." Poka helps new and existing factory employees learn how to execute tasks, solve problems, and share knowledge and expertise through its tablet-based digital platform. The startup's software allows workers to search through manuals and view user-generated training videos.
Alexandre Leclerc, Poka's co-founder and CEO, told BetaKit, "training and collaboration in factories has always been a challenge." Traditionally, factory worker training entails the navigation of paper-based instructions or in-person interaction through "the buddy system," by which more experienced employees teach newer ones how to address issues or complete goals.
Leclerc, who is a member of the family behind Leclerc Biscuits, said most of Poka's content is user-generated directly by the people who operate the machines in these factories.
RELATED: Poka closes $6.4 million CAD for connected factory worker platform
According to Poka, the manufacturing sector presently faces a variety of challenges, including "a worsening skills crisis, increased operational complexity, and workforce volatility caused by the pandemic." In a 2021 Deloitte study, 77 percent of manufacturers surveyed said they expect to face ongoing difficulties attracting and retaining workers "in 2021 and beyond."
Amid these conditions, Poka saw demand for its platform grow significantly over the past year, experiencing 115 percent user base growth. The startup raised $6.4 million CAD in funding last June to give itself some runway during COVID-19.
According to Poka, the need to improve workforce performance during this period has driven the adoption of "connected" worker applications such as its own. Poka claims it helps address some of these manufacturing challenges by giving factory workers the capacity "to learn continuously and solve problems more autonomously at the point of need."
Leclerc said that by doing this, Poka's platform empowers employees and helps factories increase their productivity by reducing training-related downtime, and lowering internal failure costs.
"As the Industrial Internet of Things advances the capabilities of manufacturing equipment, it's critical that factory workers also have digital technologies to provide true continuous improvement on the factory floor," said Scott MacDonald, co-founder of Poka investor McRock Capital. McRock Capital and 40 North Ventures are manufacturing transformation-focused investors.
RELATED: AQC Capital secures $64 million for second tech startup investment fund
MacDonald added that Poka's platform "is significantly improving plant productivity at many of the largest manufacturers in the world."
Poka initially began by serving the food and beverage industry, and later grew into serving factories that provide industrial and construction material. "We're really focused on automated factories," said Leclerc. "We're not a solution that's made for assembly factories."
The startup's clients, which include Nestlé, Danone, Bosch, Kraft, and Johnson & Johnson, are based mainly in North America and Europe. Poka's platform is currently available in 30 countries and 20 languages.
Poka plans to use its new funding to bolster its product development efforts and ramp up its go-to-market strategy by building out its sales team, as it looks to serve its existing clients better and add some new ones to the mix.
By growing its sales team, Poka has positioned itself to seek out more large customers with its now proven platform. The company has 105 employees currently and aims to add 50 more this year. Poke hopes to grow its team to 200 or 250 by the end of 2022.
Leclerc hinted the startup has some "big" new features under development, admitting that the company is "exploring" leveraging natural language-processing to potentially make training materials available in multiple languages more easily.

These are the #VegasStrong Shirts Designed by Shepard Fairey's Studio Number One
Red Rock Resorts Foundation, the not-for-profit arm of Station Casinos LLC, and Shepard Fairey's Studio Number One have collaborated to create a number of graphics titled "Neon Fist" and "Shine On" that capture the strength, unity and resilience of the Las Vegas community in the wake of the October 1 tragedy. The iconic images are now memorialized on t-shirts, available in black or white.
Where can I get one?
The shirts are available for sale at www.VegasStrong.co. One hundred percent of the profits will be donated to local organizations in support of those impacted by the events of October 1.
"I, along with the rest of the world, was devastated to hear about the horrible and horrendous act of terror that took place in Las Vegas earlier this week. I have worked with incredible people in Vegas, and I have friends and family there. I was shocked when the news stories and video images started to circulate of this tragedy. My studio quickly banded together with some leaders in the Las Vegas community to create powerful visual messages of unity to depict the strength and resilience of this community. I'm proud that my team and I could help to contribute something that can give us all a message of hope in this dark time," said Shepard Fairey.
"We have seen the incredible resolve of this community and hope that these iconic images will serve as a beautiful tribute to both the spirit of those affected by this horrible event and the 'Vegas Strong' movement," said Richard Haskins, President of Red Rock Resorts. "Through this art collaboration, the Red Rock Resorts Foundation will continue to provide meaningful support to those impacted by this tragedy."
This graphic was inspired by the neon lights and vintage signage in Las Vegas. The overall composition forms a badge that proclaims the unity and strength of the people.

Commercial buildings and improvements generally are depreciated over 39 years, which essentially means you can deduct a portion of the cost every year over the depreciation period. (Land isn't depreciable.) But special tax breaks that allow real estate depreciation deductions to be taken more quickly are available. Let's take a look at which real estate investments this applies to.
This allows you to deduct (rather than depreciate over a number of years) qualified improvement property. This definition was expanded by the TCJA from qualified leasehold-improvement, restaurant and retail-improvement property. The TCJA also allows Sec. 179 expensing for certain depreciable tangible personal property used predominantly to furnish lodging and for the following improvements to non-residential real property. This includes roofs, HVAC equipment, fire protection & alarm systems, and security systems.
This additional first-year depreciation allowance is available for qualified assets, which before the TCJA included qualified improvement property. But due to a drafting error in the new law, qualified improvement property will be eligible for the bonus depreciation deduction only if a technical correction is issued.

'The OA' Cancelled By Netflix, Co-Creator/Star Brit Marling Responds
Posted on Monday, August 5th, 2019 by Ben Pearson
The original angel is no more: Netflix has officially cancelled The OA, Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij's ambitious and unique sci-fi series, after two seasons. In a heartbroken Instagram post, Marling explained that they "cannot finish this story," but promised that others will be told in its place. She also praised science fiction as a genre that allows her to tell female-focused stories, so it sounds like whatever comes next will also have a sci-fi slant to it. Read her full response below.
'The OA: Part II' Spoiler Review: Let's Talk About the Telepathic Octopus (and That Equally Bonkers Ending)
Posted on Wednesday, March 27th, 2019 by Joshua Meyer
Netflix's The OA seemingly came out of nowhere when its first season dropped in December 2016 with little in the way of promotional pageantry save for some questionable last-minute tweets. Created by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij — the duo behind the films Sound of My Voice and The East — the show almost literally became an overnight sensation thanks to its same-day release of eight easily binge-able episodes. Bizarre yet absorbing, perhaps earnest to a fault, it wore its aspirations on its sleeve, probing the mystery of near-death experiences and leading viewers on a merry chase through a garden of forking narrative paths.
Now The OA is back with a second season ("Part II") that doubles down on all the eccentricity of the first and sees it joining the ranks of dimension-hopping shows with elaborate mythologies, such as Twin Peaks, Lost, The Leftovers, Legion, and Castle Rock. If you thought the sight of basement prisoners and cafeteria kids engaging in synchronized, choreographed "movements" (don't call it interpretative dancing) was wacky and woefully ill-advised, The OA: Part II wants you to know that you ain't seen nothing yet.
Have you been practicing the movements in front of the mirror at home for the last two-plus years? Has The OA: Part II left you scratching your head this week with its telepathic octopus digressions and yet another contentious, downright bonkers season finale? Fear not, recovering cult TV show watchers: we've got your exit counseling (with heavy spoilers) right here.
'The OA Part II' Early Buzz: Season 2 Doubles Down On the Crazy Ambition That Made Brit Marling's Netflix Series So Weird and Wonderful
Posted on Friday, March 15th, 2019 by Hoai-Tran Bui
When Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij debuted their passion project The OA on Netflix in 2016, critics raved about the dizzying, dazzling, divisive sci-fi series that followed a young blind woman who returned after a mysterious disappearance with her sight restored. New episodes never debuted, leaving only a legacy of controversy and the memory of a weird modern dance scene in its finale. But now the series has returned, and it is as bonkers as ever.
The long-awaited second season of The OA, or as Marling and Batmanglij call it, The OA: Part II, drops on Netflix on March 22, 2019, but critics got an early peek at the series. Read about The OA Part II early buzz below.
'The OA' Season 2 Trailer: The Long-Awaited Netflix Sci-Fi Series Returns in an Alternate Universe
Posted on Wednesday, February 27th, 2019 by Hoai-Tran Bui
When The OA first premiered on Netflix in 2016, it felt like a whole different world. Barack Obama was still president, the world was (a little) less in shambles, and Brit Marling's ambitious sci-fi series was a cult hit. It has taken three years later for the series to return for its second season, but it still feels like it came from a different world — not just for the Barack Obama mention at the beginning of the new The OA season 2 trailer, but because this second part is all about alternate universes. Prepare for another mind-blowing season with The OA Part II.
Where is 'The OA' Season 2? Brit Marling Explains Why Part II of the Netflix Sci-Fi Series is Taking So Long
Posted on Friday, November 2nd, 2018 by Hoai-Tran Bui
Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij debuted the ambitious sci-fi series The OA on Netflix in 2016 to instant cult favorite status, but as it reaches its two-year anniversary, there seems to be no second season in sight. With fans growing antsy, Marling took to Instagram to explain the long wait and assure them that The OA season 2 is coming.
Netflix's 'The OA' Renewed for Season 2
Posted on Wednesday, February 8th, 2017 by Angie Han
Even after a full eight-episode season, The OA felt like it was just getting started. The finale raised as many questions as it answered, and left plenty of meat on the bone for future episodes to pick apart. So it's with relief that we can report Prairie's saga will continue on in the not-too-distant future. As of today, Netflix has officially renewed Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij's trippy supernatural drama for a second season.
How 'The OA' Is the Next Evolution in Television Storytelling
Posted on Thursday, January 5th, 2017 by Peter Sciretta
Netflix's new series The OA is one of the most interesting television shows of 2016. And while I'll agree that the series is not for everyone, it's hard to deny that the show is pushing the boundaries of television storytelling. In fact, I believe The OA is an example of how television storytelling will evolve in the world of cord-cutting and premium streaming services.
'The OA' Ending: Creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij on That Controversial Finale
Posted on Thursday, December 29th, 2016 by Angie Han
It's been almost two weeks since Netflix dropped The OA, Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij's sci-fi thriller oddity. Which means a bunch of you have probably finished it by now. And if you've come to the end, you likely have some questions, starting with "Wait, what?" In a series of recent interviews, Marling and Batmanglij have offered their thoughts and their defenses of that shocking season finale — and to reassure you that it's okay to laugh at it a bit.
(Obviously, major spoilers follow for the ending of The OA.) Read More »
The OA Trailer: Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij's TV Series Will Hit Netflix This Friday
Posted on Monday, December 12th, 2016 by Peter Sciretta
Netflix has announced a new television series from Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij called The OA. I was a huge fan of their films Sound of My Voice and The East. In fact, Sound of my Voice was supposed to be the start of a digital series but instead became a film. I'm excited to see what they can do with a longer storytelling format.
Along with the announcement of this new series, which airs on Netflix this Friday, they have released a trailer. Watch The OA trailer now after the jump and find out more about this new show.
Zal Batmanglij To Direct Brit Marling Netflix TV Series 'The OA'
Posted on Thursday, March 5th, 2015 by Angie Han
Brit Marling emerged as the darling of Sundance 2011 thanks in a large part to Sound of My Voice, a chiller directed by Zal Batmanglij. The pair continued their professional relationship with 2013's eco-terrorism thriller The East, and now they're preparing to reunite yet again.
Only this time, it won't be for an indie film, but for a new Netflix drama titled The OA. More on the Brit Marling Netflix project after the jump. Read More »


Just wondering what upgrades or changes to the system made big differences in sound in your system?
For me there were a number of things, but I'll start with: suspending my speakers from the ceiling using cables attached to rubber mats coupled to top and bottom of speakers held in place with cables. Prior to that I had plywood squares coupled to speaker's top and bottom surface which produced alot of bass resonance. The rubber mats made the sound dark and quiet. Also floor does not resonate. This is one of many things I discovered.
tube rolling in my amp.
3) removing the spike dishes from my my speakers stands and allowing the spikes to lock into the floor and/or carpet.
4) using specialized CD enhancement products such as Mirko smooth.
Pedrillo: We think alike, "outside the box".
high as well, smoothing the sound.
are "submerged" in the Music.
For Musical Fidelity, one of the markers of genuine hi-fi is a decent dynamic range. To produce a decent dynamic range, the system needs to be able to produce peaks of at least 100dB in your listening position, and comfortable peaks of 105dB to 110dB are better. However, 100dB is the bare minimum requirement, and any system that produces less than this does not deserve the name of hi-fi. It takes an amplifier with a lot of power to produce peaks of 100dB or more.
Many amplifier manufacturers produce units with low power and call them 'high-end.' Low-power amplifiers will produce a surprising continuous level, but unless they are coupled with extremely efficient loudspeakers, they cannot possibly produce a decent dynamic range. No matter what a manufacturer says, or how much it costs, a low-power amplifier is not genuine hi-fi.
Unless you understand the relationship between amplifier power and peak listening level, which most audiophiles do not, you are likely to be sold something that costs you a lot but is not really a proper hi-fi system.
One reason that few audiophiles understand the relationship between amplifier power and peak listening level is that loudspeakers and amplifiers are specified differently and there is no obvious way to use the information to find out what kind of peak levels you can expect from a particular system. Most manufacturers are loathe to clear up the confusion, for reasons that will become clear.
Loudspeakers are usually specified by their efficiency; they produce a certain number of dB for 1W at one metre. However, as you move away from the loud- speaker, you lose about 5dB for each metre over one metre. You'll see in a minute why you need to know this.
Amplifiers are usually specified by their power rating in watts.
To use these two pieces of information, you need one more number - the amplifier's power in dBW This is a measure of how much sound (dB) is produced for a certain amount of power (W). As you will notice on the table, the amount of power needed for each increase is not linear - each increase in dBW requires a steep increase in power. A low- powered amp will never be anything other than a low-powered amp: we are dealing here with the laws of physics.
However, armed with this information, you are now in a position to find out whether or not your system is capable of peaks of 100dB or more.
To find out what a system can do, take the loudspeaker's efficiency, add on the amplifier power in dBW and deduct for the listening position. You have now worked out the system's peak level capability.
For example, to work this out for a system with loudspeakers of 87dB efficiency and an amplifier power of 200W and a listening position about three metres from the loudspeaker: 87 + 23 - 10 = 100 dB peak level capacity. This assumes that the amplifier's power really doubles into 4 Ohms, a can of worms that we will not open at the moment, and that the amplifier is stable. In this example, the system would be just about reasonable.
The world's best speaker system? No company has designed a perfect speaker system, of course. And just what would the "world"s best speaker be, anyway? Would it have powerful, tight bass down to 10Hz? Astonishingly clear midrange and unbelievable transparency? Extremely smooth highs out to 50kHz? Three-dimensional imaging that creates a suspension of disbelief? Incredible build quality and a Twenty-year Warranty? A speaker so exciting that you want to stay up all night, savoring each and every note? A speaker system so incredible that each and every exciting listening session is not soon forgotten?

The VR-11SE utilizes our proprietary Acoustic Inverse Replication (A.I.R.) technology, developed by Albert Von Schweikert while at California Institute of Technology. A.I.R. utilizes our famous Global Axis Integration Network to enable our VR-11SE to replicate the inverse of the recording microphone's signal, thus decoding the dimensionality of the actual recorded event. In combination with our rear-firing Ambience Retrieval System, the VR-11SE will provide thrilling realism, so close to a live performance, that you will continue to ask yourself: is it Live or is it VR-11?
A key ingredient of VR-11SE's magic is the extreme dynamic range offered by our 99dB sensitivity (using the bass/treble boost settings). As most audiophiles have realized, live music has a tremendous dynamic range, which most speakers compress to the point of sounding "canned." Conventional, low/mid efficiency speakers lack "jump factor" and lose the excitement of the live event. In addition, a "veil" is imparted by inefficient drive units and dissipation of low level detail by "commercial grade" crossover parts.
VR-11 eliminates these problems by using large magnet/low distortion drivers in a line source time-aligned array, in combination with the use of extremely expensive crossover parts, internal wiring, and binding posts. The resulting dynamic range, clarity, and transparency are shocking; we believe the VR-11SE is extremely close to "live!"
These 2 camps know WOW! At a steep cost however.
perfectly matched components forming a "Synergy" of Music!
Herbies Black Holes - cheap tweak and....WOW!!!!
3-inch-thick maple platforms for my monoblocks. I really wasn't expecting much, and the difference, especially in the bass, was WOW.
Things others have mentioned (NOS tubes, new preamp) have certainly been surprising too, but this one did a lot for not too many dollars.
I would like to contribute another: lead shot through out my turntable made big strides.
There was a time when I wanted to put lead shot through my turntable, but then found the problem was only the left channel on the cartridge wired out of phase.
The most recent WOW was recapping my preamp with teflon caps. I am now in the process of putting teflon bypass caps on anything with a coupling cap in it and on my speaker tweeter crossover caps.
WOW is what I said when I saw this!
"Best Buy, just did not fulfill my needs".
Love Your Music & Video!
MOVING INTO MY OWN MUSIC ROOM!
By having a space that was all mine that I could make as "Ugly" with room treatments as need be that nobdoy had to see was a huge WOW, probably bigger than most other ideas here.
For me first WOW was when I got in to Vinyl 2 years ago.
Even bigger WOW when I switched to tubes.
Hello, please copy/paste the link below to a Real WOW!
Just sharing, You simply must see this!
My denon 103r sounds right with the Graham 2.2 loaded up with alot of leadshot.
Running a high current amp capable of doubling output from 8 to 4 ohms made a big difference with my larger Ohm Walsh speakers.
This amp replaced another amp that had 3X the power output but not as much current, and only increased power delivered marginally in comparison from 8 to 4 ohms.
This change resulted in a much tighter, more transparent and detailed delivery with a larger sound stage at typical listening volumes.
I've read that a high current amp (perhaps also with higher damping factor) can make a big difference as well with many other larger or more esoteric design speaker systems that similarly may produce a more difficult load for an amplifier to drive, like elecrostats, maggies, etc.
The OPPO 980 h dvd player, totally blows my mind.
Nuforce MCH3SE w/ V2 boards. WOW!!!!!
For me the biggest WOW factor to my ears, heart, bank account, and system was the first time I heard a pr. of Thiel speakers really show there stuff to me. I had heard them off and on for years in different systems, but they really never got my attention.
I ventured into a shop that had a pr. of 2.4s set up with VTL 7.5 preamp, Ayre V-1XE amp, sourced by a VPI HX-R table with Dynavector XV1s cartridge. I bought a pr. of 7.2s without a demo later that week. Going on three years and some frustration, (matching the right amps) I have never even thought about changing speakers.
Just out of curiousity did you get your source right?
I found that not until I got my source right was when I started to realize the potential of my speakers!
I listen to vinyl 99% of the time and it sounds very good. Since owning the Thiels I have found more than ever before how much amp/speaker combo matters. I went through (owned or home auditioned) several very nice amps with the 7.2s. Parasound JC1s, two models from Pass, and Ayre. When The Krells hit, system pretty much complete. I am waiting on a custom made tubed preamp to get here and I really am not wanting for anything else.
The leap came when I got my turntable (LInn LP12) running after about 8 years of sitting idle. Wow!

Burn-induced neuropathic pain Sprague-Dawley rat model was confirmed using a mechanical response test 4 weeks after the burn injuries were sustained following which PRP was injected in the scar area. The rats were divided into four groups (n = 6) as following: Group A, Sham; Group B, Sham + PRP; Group C, Burn; and Group D, Burn + PRP. Four weeks after the PRP injection, the animals were subjected to behavior tests and then sacrificed; specimens were collected for inflammation tests, Masson's trichrome stain and chromosome 10 (PTEN) in the injured skin; and PTEN, phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR), p38, nuclear factor κB (NFκB), chemokine (CC motif) ligand 2 (CCL2), and CCL2 cognate receptor (CCR2) in spinal cord dorsal horns through immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining.. complex containing gold nanoparticles conjugated with anti-human. an upfront cost, there are no

MST levels were higher in hepatocytes localized around central. At day 3 in experiment 2 buy provigil dubai HSP47 was slightly stronger compared to control group suggesting the progressive repair of damaged collagen. Moreover, the cells lining the alveolar bone continued to express HSP47 at day 4 even though the load was removed. HSP47 continued to increase at day 6 and then decreased at day 10. Thus, HSP47 tend to increase over time. However, at day 30, the expression was similar to the control group suggesting that the cells revert back to their equilibrium state. Previous studies have shown the increase in HSP expression due to mechanical stress and decrease upon mechanical load release. Likewise, Keagle et at. (22) assumed that HSP47 was expressed by damaged epidermis during wound healing. Thus, damaged cells due to mechanical trauma also express HSP47. The continuous expression of HSP47 prevented the disturbance of epidermal cells, abnormal cell division, rupture of blood vessels and other occurrences such as apoptosis. The continuous HSP expression from day 1 to day 14 was believed to be a protective response. Abnormal function of HSP47 is seen in damaged collagen fibers in periodontitis.. at the binding peptide, Sturniolo's method and NetMHCIIpan predict. Immunohistochemical assay for CTGF and iNOS. Genomes sequencing eوٴorts and the ability to immobilize. advocate the Intraoperative Photo Dynamic Therapy (IPDT). Initially,. Previous studies demonstrate that early generation of ROS and oxidative stress after SAH is associated with early brain injury, including brain edema [24,25]. Animal studies show that the activities of enzymatic antioxidant systems decrease and the products of lipid peroxidation increase after SAH [26,27]. Our results were in accordance with these above reports. In humans, a decrease in antioxidant systems [28] and an increase in lipid peroxidation products is found within 72 h from ictus and correlates well with a poor clinical status and outcome [29]. The concentration of ROS is determined by the balance between the rate of production and the rate of clearance of ROS by various antioxidant compounds and enzymes. Animal studies show that the majority of ROS are generated by the auto-oxidation of haemoglobin following erythrocytes lysis in the subarachnoid space [30]. The consequences of oxidative stress after SAH may include injury to the vascular wall endothelium and smooth muscle, disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and the production of strong spasmogens, such as prostaglandin D2 and leukotriene C4 from the lipoxygenase and cyclo-oxygenase pathways of arachidonic acid metabolism [27]. In addition, oxidative stress induces enzymes of the apoptotic pathway, including p53 and caspase-3 and 9, which promote apoptotic cell death. [31]. Neuronal apoptosis results in blood brain barrier dysfunction, inflammation, and oxidative cascades that lead to brain edema [32]. Brain edema is an abnormal accumulation of fluid within the brain parenchyma, producing a volumetric enlargement of the brain cells or tissue [33]. Brain edema has been demonstrated to be an independent risk factor for mortality and poor outcome after SAH [34]. In this study, the water content of the brain was measured to examine the effect of quercetin on brain edema after SAH.. Reports showed that isoflavone supplementation effectively lowered serum cholesterol in OVX rats [34, 35] and in postmenopausal women [36]. However, other reports showed different results [37]. In the present study, no change was noted in total cholesterol levels in OVX rats. Thus, whether OGE can reverse total cholesterol of OVX rats remains unknown. Possibly, in our previous laboratory, OGE can reduce total cholesterol level in high-fat diet and high-cholesterol diet rats [28].

This work focused on three types of hypertension's comorbidities, namely diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and coronary heart disease. We analyzed the prevalence of the three comorbidities given the patient was already diagnosed with hypertension. We then assessed the impact of several associated factors (patient's demographic and socioeconomic factors, and hospital class and geographical factors) for those three comorbidities. The methods that we utilized were Bayes' Theorem, Pearson's chi-squared test, and logistic regression method (univariate and multivariate analysis). Our results showed that the associated risk factors such as patient's gender, age, income level, hospital's class, zone type, and topography played an important role in the prevalence of hypertension's comorbidities. Our findings suggested that socioeconomic and geographical factors should be taken into consideration when analyzing the prevalence of hypertension and its comorbidities.. Route Choice Strategy in Traffic Networks. expresses abundantly in both central and peripheral nervous system. In pharmacovigilance analysis, data mining algorithms have been developed to identify drug-associated adverse events as signals that are reported more frequently than expected by estimating expected reporting frequencies on the basis of information on all drugs and all events in the database [37-39]. For example, the proportional reporting ratio (PRR) [33], the reporting odds ratio (ROR) [34], the information component (IC) [35], and the empirical Bayes geometric mean (EBGM) [36] are widely used, and indeed, the PRR is currently used by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), UK, the ROR by the Netherlands Pharmacovigilance Centre, the IC by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the EBGM by the FDA.. The use of PNA molecules is not restricted to its role as a DNA derivative. Derivatizations permit further functionalizations of the PNA polyamide backbone as demonstrated [35 buy provigil dubai 36]. Finally the nucleobases were substituted with functional molecules as reaction partners for chemical reactions, for instance as a ligation partner in the "click-chemistry" [37-40]. Manifold ligation reactions like the copper catalyzed alkine-azide cycloadditions introduced by Sharpless [41] are well reviewed by El-Sagheer and Brown [42]. Here for instance, we used as ligation technology the Diels Alder Reaction with inverse electron demand (DARinv) introduced by Lindsay [43] and comprehensively investigated by Sauer [44] and Bertozzi [45, 46]. The potential of the DARinv is well documented, undoubted and underlines multifaceted applications in the medical science. It is an attractive platform for active agents in therapy [47-50] as well as for imaging components in diagnostics [51, 52]. The combination of different drugs and different diagnostic molecules in optimized ratios [52] allows the design of molecules ready to use for bi- tri- and multi-modal strategies. These can be considered as promising molecules in the personalized medicine and in the increasing field of theranostics [53]. Our variant, a heat-assisted approach of the solid phase peptide synthesis is considered as an indispensable methodology which realizes a proper chemistry of PNA-based backbones functionalized multifold with a great potential to contribute to the diagnostics' precision and to the better therapy's success.. All values were reported as mean±standard deviations (SD). The unpaired Student`s t-test/Welch`s test or Mann-Whitney`s U test was used for two-groups comparisons of values. Fisher`s exact test was used for the analysis of contingency tables. P values of less than 0.05 were considered significant.. four mouse hearts. Using this enrichment and fractionation approach,. Despite the limitations listed above buy provigil dubai this study provides a meaningful understanding of the characteristics and early outcomes of ALK-positive NSCLC patients who receive ceritinib in clinical practice and contributes to informing the treatment landscape and management of this patient population. As physicians become more familiar with ceritinib and more clinical and safety data are made available, treatment patterns and outcomes are likely to change over time. Further studies with a larger sample size and longer data follow-up are warranted to assess longer-term treatment patterns and outcomes in ALK-positive NSCLC patients who receive ceritinib in clinical practice..

• Exposure to cigarette smoke increases. Proteins of about 40-80 μg/mL were fractionated on SDS-PAGE, and then transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes (Pall Life Science, Glen Cove, NY, USA). Then, the membranes were probed with antibodies against heparanase (Abcam, Cambidge, UK), Akt (Santa Cruz Biotechonoly Inc., Santa Cruz, CA, USA), Erk (GeneTex International Corporation, Taiwan,), phosphorylation -Akt (Santa Cruz Biotechonoly Inc.,), phosphorylation-Erk (Merk Millipore, Germany), mTOR (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA) or β-actin (Sigma-Aldrich). The secondary antibodies was used the horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG or anti-mouse IgG (Jackson, West Grove, PA, USA). The enhanced chemiluminescence system (Advansta, San Jose, CA, USA) was used to observe the signals. The signals was quantified by using the ImageJ software (rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/) [20, 21].. apparent contact cannot be attributed to functional osseointegration.

By Mario O. Moreno and Kay Tuxford It's easy to feel intimidated by the thought of writing a screenplay. The formatting! Since a familiarity with the basics of the craft is half the battle, The Writers Store has created this handy screenplay example and overview on how to write a screenplay to help you get up to speed on screenwriting fundamentals. Combine that with the right screenwriting software, books and supplies, and you'll be ready to type FADE IN before you know it. It's a timing issue. That's why the average page count of a screenplay should come in between 90 and 120 pages. A screenplay can be an original piece, or based on a true story or previously written piece, like a novel, stage play or newspaper article. At its heart, a screenplay is a blueprint for the film it will one day become. Since the creation of a film is ultimately a collaborative art, the screenwriter must be aware of each person's role and as such, the script should reflect the writer's knowledge. A 2-page inner monologue may work well for a novel, but is the kiss of death in a script. The very nature of screenwriting is based on how to show a story on a screen, and pivotal moments can be conveyed through something as simple as a look on an actor's face. The top, bottom and right margins of a screenplay are 1″. The extra half-inch of white space to the left of a script page allows for binding with brads, yet still imparts a feeling of vertical balance of the text on the page. The very first item on the first page should be the words FADE IN:. Subsequent page numbers appear in the upper right hand corner, 0.5″ from the top of the page, flush right to the margin. Below is a list of items (with definitions) that make up the screenplay format, along with indenting information.
screenplay template format
Scene HeadingIndent: Left: 0.0″ Right: 0.0″ Width: 6.0″ A scene heading is a one-line description of the location and time of day of a scene, also known as a "slugline." WRITERS STORE – DAY reveals that the action takes place outside The Writers Store during the daytime. SubheaderIndent: Left: 0.0″ Right: 0.0″ Width: 6.0″ When a new scene heading is not necessary, but some distinction needs to be made in the action, you can use a subheader. A good example is when there are a series of quick cuts between two locations, you would use the term INTERCUT and the scene locations. Remember – only things that can be seen and heard should be included in the action. CharacterIndent: Left: 2.0″ Right: 0.0″ Width: 4.0″ When a character is introduced, his name should be capitalized within the action. A character's name is CAPPED and always listed above his lines of dialogue. Dialogue format is used anytime a character is heard speaking, even for off-screen and voice-overs. ParentheticalIndent: Left: 1.5″ Right: 2.0″ Width: 2.5″ A parenthetical is direction for the character, that is either attitude or action-oriented. Second, it's the director's job to instruct an actor on how to deliver a line, and everyone knows not to encroach on the director's turf! TransitionIndent: Left: 4.0″ Right: 0.0″ Width: 2.0″ Transitions are film editing instructions, and generally only appear in a shooting script. For example, you might need to use DISSOLVE TO: to indicate that a large amount of time has passed. ShotIndent: Left: 0.0″ Right: 0.0″ Width: 6.0″ A shot tells the reader the focal point within a scene has changed. Examples of Shots: A "spec script" literally means that you are writing a screenplay on speculation. You are penning it in hopes of selling the script to a buyer. Once a script is purchased, it becomes a shooting script, also called a production script.
This is a version of the screenplay created for film production. All the scenes are numbered, and revisions are marked with a color-coded system. The biggest mistake any new screenwriter can make is to submit a script full of production language, including camera angles and editing transitions. After all, it's your story and you see it in a very specific way. If you want to direct your script, then try to go the independent filmmaker route. But if you want to sell your script, then stick to the accepted spec screenplay format. There's also a wide spectrum of outlining and development software at the ready to help you get your thoughts together before you begin writing. And if you want a program that combines story development and formatting? Just like the format of a script, there are very specific rules for binding and presenting your script. The first page is the title page, which should also be written in Courier 12pt font. In the lower left-hand or right-hand corner you can put Registered, WGA or a copyright notification, though this is generally not a requirement. Below is a list of items you need to prepare your script to be sent out: Follow these directions to properly bind your script: Now that you understand screenplay basics, you're no doubt ready to continue your exploration of the craft and go beyond learning how to write a movie script.
