In the current scenario, most of the prospective clients are available on the web. Of course, you can rely on conventional marketing tactics like newspaper adverts or television adverts, but you just can't ignore digital marketing space, especially if you are a growing organization. What's the reason?
Digital marketing is both affordable and effective. You can convey your message to millions of users from your office desk. At the same time, effective digital marketing techniques can rake in millions if you do it strategically. To accomplish both the tasks, you should abide by following digital marketing tips.
The first step towards strategizing digital marketing strategy starts with an analysis of your target audience. Now, there are two aspects associated with this technique. First, you have to determine your target audience based on age, gender, location, etc. This approach will be beneficial if you are opting for social media and search engine advertisements.
Secondly, you can utilize tools such as Google Analytics to study the visitor behavior, for example, the region that delivers maximum visits or the most popular device used by the visitors. For this purpose, you can hire an employee who holds a digital marketing certification from a reputed institution.
You have just got a couple of seconds to captivate the attention of the visitor. To accomplish this task, you should use intriguing and crazy headlines that will generate curiosity in the visitor. It doesn't stop here. You have to go further and write content that is beneficial for the user. Further, you have to validate content using authoritative sources. If you can include media files such as images, videos, GIFs, audio files, etc; nothing better than this. Overall, your content should compel the visitor to ask for your product and services.
When you make a sale on your website or earn a subscriber, your job is to deliver periodic newsletters and deals to hold their attention. Collecting emails using services like AWeber, MailChimp, Sumo, etc assist in building a loyal fan following of visitors. You can directly promote your content by sending a personalized email. And you must know that email marketing results in the highest conversions than any other technique.
Nowadays, social media sites are the hangout areas for the people. Thus, you cannot afford to ignore these mediums. Social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Google+, Pinterest, Twitter, and others are crucial in diverting potential buyers to your business page. However, you should be wise enough to select an appropriate medium for social media marketing. For example, for food bloggers, Instagram and Pinterest are the best channels. Of course, Facebook is relevant for all businesses.
What do we mean by call-to-action or CTA? Your content and marketing strategies should instigate visitors to take an action. The call-to-action encapsulates actions like subscribing to newsletters, sharing content on social media sites, purchasing a product or a service, opt for recurring subscriptions, submitting a request, and so on. Focus on these aspects to increase your sales and revenues by rendering quality services.
Landing pages are getting quite popular nowadays. In one shot, you can make millions by funneling numerous sales. For this purpose, you create landing page describing your product and service, associated benefits, case studies, detailed information, etc. You can schedule a webinar or product launch on specific dates to intimate the value of product and services.
You have incorporated all the aforementioned techniques, and you either get a positive response or a negative one. In both the cases, it becomes important for organizations to analyze performance. This will be beneficial in strategizing your future course of action. Calculating ROI, changes evaluated in a specific time period, and so on. Spend time on this to define your future digital marketing strategies.

The aim of the current study was to replicate findings in adults indicating that higher sensitivity to stressful events is predictive of both onset and persistence of psychopathological symptoms in a sample of adolescents and young adults. In addition, we tested the hypothesis that sensitivity to mild stressors in particular is predictive of the developmental course of psychopathology.
We analyzed experience sampling and questionnaire data collected at baseline and one-year follow-up of 445 adolescent and young adult twins and non-twin siblings (age range: 15–34). Linear multilevel regression was used for the replication analyses. To test if affective sensitivity to mild stressors in particular was associated with follow-up symptoms, we used a categorical approach adding variables on affective sensitivity to mild, moderate and severe daily stressors to the model.
Linear analyses showed that emotional stress reactivity was not associated with onset (ß = .02; P = .56) or persistence (ß = -.01; P = .78) of symptoms. There was a significant effect of baseline symptom score (ß = .53; P < .001) and average negative affect (NA: ß = .19; P < .001) on follow-up symptoms. Using the categorical approach, we found that affective sensitivity to mild (ß = .25; P < .001), but not moderate (ß = -.03; P = .65) or severe (ß = -.06; P = .42), stressors was associated with symptom persistence one year later.
We were unable to replicate previous findings relating stress sensitivity linearly to symptom onset or persistence in a younger sample. Whereas sensitivity to more severe stressors may reflect adaptive coping, high sensitivity to the mildest of daily stressors may indicate an increased risk for psychopathology.
"Have You Not Heard of Florida?" Jean Ribault, Thomas Stukeley, and the Dream of England's First Overseas Colony
Journal: Itinerario / Volume 43 / Issue 3 / December 2019
English overseas colonialism is generally traced to the anti-Catholic and anti-Spanish ideologies of Richard Hakluyt, Humphrey Gilbert, and other exponents in the 1570s and 1580s. This article puts Florida at the forefront of English colonialism by taking seriously Thomas Stukeley's proposed colonisation expedition in 1563. The focus on the 1560s reveals how a dynastic rivalry with France, rather than a religious rivalry with Spain, gave birth to England's first colonial impulse. Jean Ribault, well known as the founder of French Florida, serves as the connecting link between Florida and England. His previously unappreciated role in European diplomacy unwittingly turned his fledgling colony into a pawn to be traded among France, Spain, and England. Furthermore, Queen Elizabeth's interest in joining the race for colonies may have been fuelled more by her desire to regain Calais from the French than to plant settlers in America. But while her motives may well have been cynical, the English public for the first time began to see itself as a colonising people. The end result was that Florida not only emerged as part of the fountainhead of English colonialism, but also came to play an important role in European politics.

Meta-analyses suggest that clinical psychopathology is preceded by dimensional behavioral and cognitive phenotypes such as psychotic experiences, executive functioning, working memory and affective dysregulation that are determined by the interplay between genetic and nongenetic factors contributing to the severity of psychopathology. The liability to mental ill health can be psychometrically measured using experimental paradigms that assess neurocognitive processes such as salience attribution, sensitivity to social defeat and reward sensitivity. Here, we describe the TwinssCan, a longitudinal general population twin cohort, which comprises 1202 individuals (796 adolescent/young adult twins, 43 siblings and 363 parents) at baseline. The TwinssCan is part of the European Network of National Networks studying Gene-Environment Interactions in Schizophrenia project and recruited from the East Flanders Prospective Twin Survey. The main objective of this project is to understand psychopathology by evaluating the contribution of genetic and nongenetic factors on subclinical expressions of dimensional phenotypes at a young age before the onset of disorder and their association with neurocognitive processes, such as salience attribution, sensitivity to social defeat and reward sensitivity.

Bioderived protoporphyrin IX incorporation into a metal-organic framework for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of chemical warfare agents
Marilyn S. Lee, Sergio J. Garibay, Ann M. Ploskonka, Jared B. DeCoste
Journal: MRS Communications / Volume 9 / Issue 2 / June 2019
Porphyrins absorb light to initiate photocatalytic activity. The complex, asymmetric structures of natural porphyrins such as heme, chlorophyll, and their derivatives hold unique interest. A platform for biosynthesis of porphyrins in Escherichia coli is developed with the aim of producing a variety of porphyrins for examining their photocatalytic properties within a porous material. Bioderived protoporphyrin IX is tethered inside the highly porous metal-organic framework (MOF) NU-1000 via solvent-assisted ligand incorporation. This MOF catalyzes the photocatalytic oxidation of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide with improved performance over an expanded range of the visible spectrum when compared to unmodified NU-1000.

We apply a deep convolutional neural network segmentation model to enable novel automated microstructure segmentation applications for complex microstructures typically evaluated manually and subjectively. We explore two microstructure segmentation tasks in an openly available ultrahigh carbon steel microstructure dataset: segmenting cementite particles in the spheroidized matrix, and segmenting larger fields of view featuring grain boundary carbide, spheroidized particle matrix, particle-free grain boundary denuded zone, and Widmanstätten cementite. We also demonstrate how to combine these data-driven microstructure segmentation models to obtain empirical cementite particle size and denuded zone width distributions from more complex micrographs containing multiple microconstituents. The full annotated dataset is available on materialsdata.nist.gov.

During South Africa's first two decades as a democracy, the Western Cape Province has undergone radical changes to its healthcare system in an effort to address the extensive socioeconomic inequities that remain in the aftermath of the apartheid era. Although progress has been made, there is a clear need for interventions that support parents and children receiving health services in the public sector who are vulnerable to multiple psychosocial risks associated with extreme poverty. In this mixed-method study, we examined the feasibility and acceptability of adapting an evidence-based parenting intervention called Mothering from the Inside Out that was developed for mothers who are vulnerable to similar risks in the United States. Using qualitative methods, we documented the collaborative process that was guided by principles of community-based participatory research and examined themes in the Western Cape collaborators' perspectives about the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention. Using quantitative methods, we tested the preliminary efficacy of the adapted version of Mothering from the Inside Out for improving maternal reflective functioning and mother–child interactions. Although findings from both study components indicated preliminary promise, a number of obstacles and challenges at multiple levels underscore the need for (a) flexibility and contextual support for intervention research conducted in under-resourced communities, (b) clinical sensitivity to the unique experiences of parents rearing children in highly stressful, under-resourced environments, and (c) equal partnerships that allow the expertise of local providers to inform the design proposals of consulting investigators.

Journal: Development and Psychopathology / Volume 29 / Issue 2 / May 2017
Mothers with histories of alcohol and drug addiction have shown greater difficulty parenting young children than mothers with no history of substance misuse. This study was the second randomized clinical trial testing the efficacy of Mothering From the Inside Out (MIO), a 12-week mentalization-based individual therapy designed to address psychological deficits commonly associated with chronic substance use that also interfere with the capacity to parent young children. Eighty-seven mothers caring for a child between 11 and 60 months of age were randomly assigned to receive 12 sessions of MIO versus 12 sessions of parent education (PE), a psychoeducation active control comparison. Maternal reflective functioning, representations of caregiving, mother–child interaction quality, and child attachment were evaluated at baseline and posttreatment and 3-month follow-up. Mother–child interaction quality was assessed again at 12-month follow-up. In comparison with PE mothers, MIO mothers demonstrated a higher capacity for reflective functioning and representational coherence at posttreatment and 3-month follow-up. At 12-month follow-up, compared to PE cohorts, MIO mothers demonstrated greater sensitivity, their children showed greater involvement, and MIO dyads showed greater reciprocity. As addiction severity increased, MIO also appeared to serve as a protective factor for maternal reflective functioning, quality of mother–child interactions, and child attachment status. Results demonstrate the promise of mentalization-based interventions provided concomitant with addiction treatment for mothers and their young children.

To determine the effect of graft choice (allograft, bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft, or hamstring autograft) on deep tissue infections following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions.
Retrospective cohort study.
SETTING AND POPULATION
Patients from 6 US health plans who underwent ACL reconstruction from January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2008.
We identified ACL reconstructions and potential postoperative infections using claims data. A hierarchical stratified sampling strategy was used to identify patients for medical record review to confirm ACL reconstructions and to determine allograft vs autograft tissue implanted, clinical characteristics, and infection status. We estimated infection rates overall and by graft type. We used logistic regression to assess the association between infections and patients' demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and choice of graft.
On review of 1,452 medical records, we found 55 deep wound infections. With correction for sampling weights, infection rates varied by graft type: 0.5% (95% CI, 0.3%-0.8%) with allografts, 0.6% (0.1%–1.5%) with bone-patellar tendon-bone autografts, and 2.5% (1.9%–3.1%) with hamstring autograft. After adjusting for potential confounders, we found an increased infection risk with hamstring autografts compared with allografts (odds ratio, 5.9; 95% CI, 2.8–12.8). However, there was no difference in infection risk among bone-patellar tendon-bone autografts vs allografts (odds ratio, 1.2; 95% CI, 0.3–4.8).
The overall risk for deep wound infections following ACL reconstruction is low but it does vary by graft type. Infection risk was highest in hamstring autograft recipients compared with allograft recipients and bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft recipients.

In this work, we report a comparative investigation of InxGa1-xN (SL) and InxGa1-xN/GaN (MQW) structures with an indium content equivalent to x=10%. Both structures are grown on (0001) sapphire substrates using MOCVD and MBE growth techniques. Optical properties are evaluated for samples using PL characteristics. Critical differences between the resulting epitaxy are observed. Microstructures have been assessed in terms of crystalline quality, density of dislocations and surface morphology. We have focused our study towards the fabrication of vertical PIN photodiodes. The technological process has been optimized as a function of the material structure. From the optical and electrical characteristics, this study demonstrates the benefit of InGaN/GaN MQW grown by MOCVD in comparison with MBE for high speed optoelectronic applications.

Objective.
To explore the feasibility of identifying anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) allograft implantations and infections using claims.
We identified ACL reconstructions using procedure codes at 6 health plans from 2000 to 2008. We then identified potential infections using claims-based indicators of infection, including diagnoses, procedures, antibiotic dispensings, specialty consultations, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations. Patients' medical records were reviewed to determine graft type, validate infection status, and calculate sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) for indicators of ACL allografts and infections.
A total of 11,778 patients with codes for ACL reconstruction were identified. After chart review, PPV for ACL reconstruction was 96% (95% confidence interval [CI], 94%–97%). Of the confirmed ACL reconstructions, 39% (95% CI, 35%–42%) used allograft tissues. The deep infection rate after ACL reconstruction was 1.0% (95% CI, 0.7%–1.4%). The odds ratio of infection for allografts versus autografts was 0.41 (95% CI, 0.19–0.78). Sensitivity of individual claims-based indicators for deep infection after ACL reconstruction ranged from 0% to 75% and PPV from 0% to 100%. Claims-based infection indicators could be combined to enhance sensitivity or PPV but not both.
Conclusions.
While claims data accurately identify ACL reconstructions, they poorly distinguish between allografts and autografts and identify infections with variable accuracy. Claims data could be useful to monitor infection trends after ACL reconstruction, with different algorithms optimized for different surveillance goals.

A meta-analysis of the factor structure of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS): the effects of language
Giyeon Kim, Jamie DeCoster, Chao-Hui Huang, Ami N. Bryant
Journal: International Psychogeriatrics / Volume 25 / Issue 1 / January 2013
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 August 2012, pp. 71-81
Background: Given the lack of consensus on the factor structure of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), as well as the fact that the GDS factor structure appears to vary across diverse cultural and/or language groups, the present meta-analysis examined whether the factor structure of the GDS varies by language.
Methods: A total of 26 published studies using exploratory factor analysis (14,669 participants; 10 languages) were included in the meta-analysis. The factor structure of the GDS was assessed in the overall sample as well as in each language that had been examined in at least two different studies.
Results: The analysis of the full sample resulted in a four-factor structure, whereas analyses of the individual languages produced structures with 4 to 6 factors. The mean variable cosines between languages ranged from 0.612 to 0.839, suggesting that the different languages produced distinct factor structures. The three factors of dysphoria, social withdrawal-apathy-cognitive impairment, and positive mood were commonly observed across different languages. Of these, the positive mood factor was the most similar across the languages.
Conclusions: These results provide strong evidence of language differences in the factor structure of the GDS. The findings suggest a need for researchers and clinicians to be careful when administering the GDS in different languages, as well as a need to take structural differences into account when interpreting results of the GDS.

This chapter explores sibling and peer relationships in light of contextual events, particularly those that include parents and caregivers. The literatures on sibling and peer relationships have included attention to the contributions of parental involvement, yet treatments in the two literatures have entailed somewhat distinctive types of approaches and implicit aims. The large body of work documenting the importance of peer relationships to children's mental health and social adjustment has stimulated considerable interest in the foundations of peer friendships. Toward the overarching goal of unraveling the complex social network, a number of studies have examined child development in triadic environments where third parties have sometimes been construed as exerting influences that are indirect. Notions about social competencies such as, sociability, empathy, and social understanding are likely to be advanced, if not reshaped dramatically, by augmenting attention to the child's social functioning in caregiver-child-child contexts.

Currents in Contemporary Ethics: Avian Influenza and the Failure of Public Rationing Discussions
Barry DeCoster
Journal: Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics / Volume 34 / Issue 3 / Fall 2006
Print publication: Fall 2006
The flu has an interesting history with respect to health care rationing in the United States. Consider that just about two years ago, the American public faced a shortage of influenza vaccine. Dire predictions were made about how many people might perish, and rationing protocols were created. However, many of the rationing protocols were ignored. Luckily, that flu season did not result in the horrible fatalities that were predicted. For these reasons, problems of health care rationing around issues of the flu were postponed, rather than resolved.
Over the last year, the public has focused its anxious attention on the possible avian influenza pandemic. Last week I noticed that at least once each day I heard mention in some discussion or another of the threat of this disease becoming easily transmissible from human to human.
Incidence and risk factors of HCV and HIV infections in a cohort of intravenous drug users in the North and East of France

In order to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of infection by hepatitis C virus (HCV) among injecting drug users (IDUs), we conducted a prospective cohort study of HCV- and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative IDUs in the North and East of France. A total of 231 HCV and HIV IDUs who had injected drugs at least once in their lifetime were followed up every 3 months over a 12-month period. Serum anti-HCV and anti-HIV were tested at inclusion in the study and at the end of the follow-up. Data on injecting practices were collected at inclusion and at each visit. Of the 231 participants included, 165 (71·4%) underwent a final HCV and HIV serum test. The incidence was nil for HIV infection and 9/100 person-years (95% CI 4·6–13·4) for HCV infection. In a multivariable analysis, we found that syringe and cotton sharing were the only independent predictive factors of HCV seroconversion.

Journal: Canadian Journal on Aging / La Revue canadienne du vieillissement / Volume 14 / Issue 2 / Été/Summer 1995
Print publication: Été/Summer 1995
This paper describes the nursing home component of the population-based health information system developed in Manitoba, and four years (1989/90 to 1992/93) of data produced by this information system. The study presents regional comparisons of nursing home bed ratios, admissions per 1,000 elderly, days of care per capita, mean expected length of stay for new admissions and median length of waiting time prior to admission. Selected hospital indicators for long-stay patients are also presented. The study indicates that a population-based information system is a useful tool for managing the nursing home sector by highlighting the degree to which a province achieves distributional equity and equality of access to nursing home beds.

Manu Prakash, a scientist and professor at Stanford University in California, thinks all kids should have a chance to study science.
His new invention – an inexpensive paper microscope called the Foldscope – just might make that possible.
The Foldscope is printed on a single sheet of polymer (plastic)-coated paper, with a 3D printer. Users punch the pieces out of the paper and fold them according to colour-coded illustrations, similar to doing origami. It takes about five minutes to put one together.
The finished microscope weighs less than 10 grams (about the same as two nickels), fits into a pocket, and can survive being dropped, stepped on and submerged in water.
It has a lens about the size of a poppy seed, a light-emitting diode (LED), and it runs on a watch battery. It uses standard microscope slides and can project images on a wall.
The Foldscope can magnify objects up to 2,000 times – the same as much bigger microscopes used in professional laboratories. But while standard microscopes can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, the Foldscope costs less than a dollar to make.
Dr. Prakash has two main goals for the Foldscope. One is to improve science education around the world by giving microscopes to as many children as possible. The other is to provide health workers in poor and remote areas with inexpensive, portable microscopes so they can diagnose and treat disease faster.
This summer, Dr. Prakash's organization will distribute 10,000 Foldscopes for people to test. He asked people to submit applications stating what they would do with one of the microscopes. There were replies from people in more than 130 countries.
Some of the successful proposals included an American beekeeper who wants to catalogue micro-organisms that make bees sick; a farmer from Mongolia who wants to teach people in his community that they should boil or pasteurize their milk by showing them the bacteria that live in it; and a 12-year-old from Qatar who wants to learn how the Namib desert beetle gets water from morning fog.
The testers are asked to design and carry out a simple experiment that can be written on one page. Their methods and results will be compiled in a manual that will help other people use the Foldscope in the future.
Dr. Prakash grew up in India, where he and his brother created many winning science fair projects. But when he became a scientist, he noticed that very little scientific research is being done in places like India, China and Africa.
He hopes to change that by distributing inexpensive laboratory instruments like the Foldscope to people around the world.
Digital microscopy for elementary and middle-school students.
This is a very inexpensive product that can make a tremendous difference to people around the world, especially in developing countries. Explain why this invention is so important, and how it could change research and science.
If you had to write a proposal in order to use one of the new Foldscopes, what would you choose to study and why? Write a 5 sentence proposal explaining your idea.
New words are invented all the time. Sometimes, they are even added to the dictionary if they become very popular. The name of this invention, Foldscope, is a name that combines the words 'fold' and 'microscope'.
Think of some other names for this new invention. They could be combinations of known words or totally made up names.

При цьому цінні матеріали виділялися в розплаві раніше інших, занурювалися на дно магматичного резервуара і формували поклади Р.р. До них належать невеликі родовища руд хрому, титану і заліза. Вони мають форму гнізд, лінз, пластоподібних і трубоподібних покладів.

Оригінальні Р.р. – трубки кімберлітів Сибіру і Півд. Африки, що складаються із застиглої магми ультраосновного складу (кімберліти). Останні містять кристали алмазів, які виділилися на ранній стадії охолодження магми.

Great Barrier Reef Dredge Dumping Plan Approval Branded 'A Disgrace'
Charlotte Meredith— The Huffington Post UK
AP/Alamy
One of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World is now under threat, experts have warned, after Australian authorities approved a project to dump dredged sediment in the Great Barrier Reef marine park.
In what could be an environmental disaster with global implications, controversial plans have been approved as part of a project to create one of the world's biggest coal ports.

The decision was made by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA), but experts have warned Australia's already fragile Great Barrier Reef could be permanently damaged as sediment could smother or poison coral.
Australia's Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, who once famously said that climate change is "crap," has been accused of removing climate policies that protected the environment to allow the rich to become richer.

In a potentially disastrous "double-whammy," Greenpeace previously told HuffPost UK that Australia's reef not only faces being irreversibly marred, but, additionally, as a result of the mining, the country's coal production threatens to spark carbon emissions on an unprecedented level.
Environmental experts today branded the approval "a disgrace."
The permit to dump spoil on the Reef will increase the likelihood that UNESCO lists it as "in danger" later in 2014, Greenpeace said.
"The government's priority should be to protect a reef which took millions of years to form, not take active steps to damage it," Greenpeace Reef Campaigner Louise Matthiesson said.
The expansion of destructive coal facilities in the World Heritage Area are being driven by the potential development of nine mega-mines in Queensland's vast Galilee Basin.
The Basin represents the world's second largest reserve of unexploited fossil fuel and the approval will likely result in thousands more coal ships passing through the Great Barrier Reef every year - a move branded "environmental madness."
But the disposal operation would be "subject to strict environmental conditions", GBRMPA claimed in a statement.
Abbott's government has come under fire for a raft of environmental decisions lately, including an election pledge to rescind expansion of Tasmania's World Heritage-listed forest reserve which has united environmental campaigners and the forestry industry, who see the plan as unworkable and damaging in the long term.

WWF Australia spokesman Richard Leck said the latest development marked a "sad day for the reef and anyone who cares about its future."
"We are devastated. I think any Australian or anyone around the world who cares about the future of the reef is also devastated by this decision.
"Exactly the wrong thing that you want to do when an ecosystem is suffering ... is introduce another major threat to it and that's what the marine park authority has allowed to happen today."

Content designators for machine-readable records: a working paper
Journal of library automation [December 1972]
Avram, Henriette D~Guiles, Kay D .
Abstract: Under the auspices of the International Federation of Library Association''s Committees on Cataloging and Mechanization, an International Working Group on Content Designators was formed to attempt to resolve the differences in the content designators assigned by national agencies to their machine-readable bibliographic records. The members of the IFLA Working Group are: Henriette D. Avram, Chairman, MARC Development Office, Library of Congress; Kay D. Guiles, Secretary, MARC Development Office, Library of Congress; Edwin Buchinski, Research and Planning Branch, National Library of Canada; Marc Chauveinc, Bibliotheque Interuniversitaire de Grenoble, Section Science, Domaine Universitaire, France; Richard Coward, British Library Planning Secretariat, Department of Education & Science, United Kingdom; R. Erezepky, Deutsche Bibliothek, German Federal Republic; J. Poncet, Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, France; Mogens Weitemeyer, Det Kongelige Bibliotek, Denmark.All working papers emanating from the IFLA Working Group will be submitted to the International Standards Organization Technical Committee 46, Subcommittee 4, Working Group on Content Designators. Prior to any attempt to standardize the content designators for the international exchange of bibliographic data in machine-readable form, it is necessary to agree on certain basic points from which all future work will be derived. This first working paper is a statement of: 1) the obstacles that presently exist which prevent the effective international interchange of bibliographic data in machine-readable form; 2) the scope of concern for the IFLA Working Group; and 3) the definition of terms included in the broader term "content designators." If an international standard format can be derived, it would greatly facilitate the use in this country of machine-readable bibliographic records issued by other national agencies. It should also contribute significantly to the expansion of MARC to other languages by the Library of Congress. At present, the assignment of content designators of most national systems is so varied that tailor-made programs must be written to translate each agency''s records into the United State MARC format. The international communications format might become the common denominator between all countries, each national system maintaining its own national version.

For NZMCA member Craig Robertson (#45548) there's nothing better than combining two of his favourite passions – photography and travelling – and says some of his best shots have been captured during trips around the country in his motorhome.
Craig's day job is all about photography (his official title is Fujifilm X-Series Product Specialist), but he's just as keen to get behind the camera on his days off. He loves getting in his van and heading to the South Island, Tongariro and the Coromandel. He has recently moved to Auckland and is looking forward to discovering more of the Far North.
Whether it's a spot he's been to many times so knows the picture he wants to get, one he's researched beforehand on Google, or just wanting to see what he can find, Craig says the best shots are often taken first thing in the morning.
"I recall on one particular occasion I was in the Coromandel, got out pre-dawn, walked to where I wanted to go, got what I wanted, and was back at the van having breakfast, when I noticed the neighbours just leaving their motorhome with their tripods and camera bags. They had missed the best time of the day," he says.
However, the late bird can get a pretty good shot too: "Often it's worth staying back when all the other tourists might have gone, so you are the last one in the area. It's worth waiting. "Sometimes it's just luck. But I find I get the best shots when I spend the time and effort, rather than just taking happy snaps." Another piece of advice is not to put your camera away when the weather gets bad. Craig's favourite times to travel are spring and autumn, which don't guarantee clear skies, but the light is less harsh and often perfect for atmospheric shots.
Travelling by motorhome provides the potential for magnificent landscape shots, but there's another genre that works perfectly with life on the road – visual storytelling. It's not just about documenting where you've been, but also the way you travel. So while you may get that classic shot of the road to Mount Cook, or the stone church at Lake Tekapo, it's also worth going beyond those to record your journey in a different way.
Once you get home, Craig recommends collating your photos into a book using an online service such as Blurb (www.blurb.com). "That's when the storytelling becomes very important, because when you turn each page you get the story. It's a really nice way to present your trips because if you leave them on the computer, no one will ever see them," says Craig. This works particularly well if you are travelling with others – you can share your best images, then produce a combined collection of your best efforts.
Professional photographers often get asked about what type and how much gear they recommend. Craig says there is no such thing as the perfect gear list, it's all about what type of photos you want to take, and how you want to progress your photography skills. "It's not all about the gear, and it's not all about the technology," he says. "But good photographic equipment gives you the freedom to create. "Some highly respected photographers shoot with very little gear. On the other hand, those doing wildlife work need telephoto lenses that will track birds in flight and so on. People doing fine art landscapes need high resolution cameras to capture the detail.
It's about choosing the right camera for what you want to do." Many people document their travels entirely on their phones and that works well for them. Others use phones as a stepping stone to taking their photographic skills further. "Phones take a sharp, well-exposed photo, and you can do stuff digitally to make them a bit different, but some people get to a frustration point where they want something more than what their phone can do," says Craig.
Of course sometimes, it's really useful to be able to remove the powerline ruining your perfect valley shot!
Editor's Note: In future issues of The Motor Caravanner we will ask Fujifilm photographer Craig Robertson to share more tips to help you better capture those great memories while you're on the road.
The recent addition of cycle trails to the NZMCA's mhftowns.com site is a direct response to increasing interest.
Tongariro National Park will always hold a special place in the hearts of Robyn and Hec Crawford.

Herbert Smith (* 22. November 1877 in Witney, Oxfordshire; † 6. Januar 1951 ebenda) war ein englischer Fußballspieler.

Smith war hauptsächlich im Amateursport aktiv, trat aber zudem regelmäßig für den FC Reading in der Southern League zu Profiligaspielen an und wurde dort sogar Mannschaftskapitän. Die weiteren Fußballmannschaften, für die Smith im Laufe seiner Karriere gespielt hat, waren neben seinem Heimatverein FC Witney noch Oxford City, Derby County, Stoke (später: "Stoke City"), Richmond Association und eine Auswahl aus Oxfordshire.

Beim Olympischen Fußballturnier 1908 in London kam er mit der englischen Amateurnationalmannschaft, die als Auswahl Großbritanniens antrat, in allen drei Spielen zum Einsatz und gewann die Goldmedaille. Auch während dieses Turniers spielte er noch parallel für seinen Verein in Reading.

Neben seinen insgesamt siebzehn Einsätzen für die Amateurauswahl kam der linke Verteidiger zwischen 1905 und 1906 auf vier Länderspiele für die englische Nationalmannschaft und konnte alle diese Partien gewinnen.

Smith, der auch als Cricketspieler aktiv war, wurde nach seinem aktiven Sportlerleben Präsident des Fußballverbandes von Oxfordshire und übte diese Funktion bis zu seinem Tod im Januar 1951 aus.

Could Chemical Guys really make another hit with a car wash? Well they did again with this one. GlossWorkz is not your average prep wash like most of the Chemical Guys line. This specially formulated soap is to maintain and extend the protection of your sealant while adding a gloss of it's own.
If you want more gloss after washing this shampoo is an absolute must have! Just wash your vehicle like normal and you will be stunned by the amount of gloss it adds. Pour in only one ounce of the GlossWorkz shampoo per 4 – 5 gallons of water in your bucket and begin washing. The pH neutral shampoo will help safely remove dirt, dust and all kinds of road grime. It will not remove the coating of sealant or wax from the surface but it will enhance their appearance. It boosts the appearance and protection of any sealant or wax. If you have any kind of protection or no protection at all you will notice the added gloss on the surface. It's totally safe to use on your entire vehicle and you'll love how slick it feels when you use it. This is the perfect maintenance wash product in between full details. Get more gloss with just with the Chemical Guys GlossWorkz shampoo!
The other important information I would like to add is that it is not a high foaming soap, rather a soap focused on the lubrication for safer washes. It has a light foam to aid in the cleaning process but with the main focus on the slickness to protect your swirl free finish. So for my maintenance washes on my clients' cars who have already been polished, this will be my go to wash media in between light polishing and sealant applications.
Now with how concentrated GlossWorkz is you get a lot of product for the price. Only 1 ounce per 4-5 gallons of water. So if you don't have the time to wash and wax your vehicle, do a wash with Chemical Guys GlossWorkz and see the difference yourself.
Been looking forward to trying this stuff out, thanks for the review! I'll definitely be adding it to my next order.
"Citrus wash" the "GlossWorkz" different?.
Yes citrus wash, citrus wash and gloss, and gloss workz are different. Citrus wash is a strong paint cleaner, CWG is a cleaner with a nice gloss to its finish.
Greg, do you think the "gloss" is even better than CW&G? What would you say is the difference between this new product and CW&G (for regular washes)? Are you really able to notice a difference?
I've been using gloss workz now for several washes, I have a hard time noticing any difference vs. CWG. I personally love CWG for maintenance washes, cleaning power, foaming, and the nice gloss it gives.

Great piece of hardware, great video!
that's a lot more than I imagined it would be but look worth the install.
The JK ones work great or at least, of the ones I've seen.
Thanks, glad to hear you thought the video was good.
It's a lot of steps for sure but well worth it.
It's always like that. Take off any hinge and you'll see there's no paint.
I really like EVO's take on the hinged carrier. Way better than the other options out and, after seeing how clean it looks on Clearskies JK, I may ditch my poison spider body mount carrier and go back to a hinged carrier.
Good video Cindy and Eddie. It looks like a lot of work but definitely worth it I'm sure. I'm definitely leaning towards this style of carrier for my JKU.
Great video Eddie! Many steps to get this installed but well worth it I'm sure.
I won't lie, I had my doubts about it when they came out with the JK one but I've since seen how well they hold up and even take a beating and decided to give it a try on our JL. So far, we've been very happy with ours.
Well, a lot of steps for sure and it takes a while to install but it's far from hard. Well worth it to me anyway.


BBC Radio Scotland Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2007, eighteen year old pianist Alan Benzie is a jazz star in the making. Originally a classical violinist, Benzie switched to jazz piano in his mid-teens and was soon featuring with the Tommy Smith Youth Jazz Orchestra and the National Youth Jazz Orchestra of Scotland as well as playing gigs with his own trio and trumpeters Valery Ponomarev and Colin Steele. Currently studying at Berklee School of Music in Massachusetts, where he has already won the 2008 Jazz Performance (Piano) Award, he returns to Scotland with fast-rising young rhythm team Andrew Robb (bass) and Jonathan Silk (drums) for an evening of swinging standards and high-energy original compositions.
This performance is presented in association with the 2008 Aberdeen International Youth Festival.


I don't know if I can accurately describe how weird Elemeno P seemed when this video came out. Suddenly there's this punk-pop group with a bit of a Weezer sound. The band was a couple of big hairy dudes, a really good looking frontman who did the Sprechgesang sing-speaking thing with a mix of American and New Zealand accents, and the other guy who was soon to be replaced by bassist Lani from Foamy Ed. And they had this song about having relation issues while on holiday at an American ski resort. They weren't quite serious but they definitely weren't a comedy band either. They were… Elemeno P. I think they invented their own genre.
"Fast Times at Tahoe" had the backing of Universal Records behind it, which means it looks a bit slicker than your average punk-pop video. The video opens with a Rolls Royce rolling through the guilded gates of the "Elemeno P Country Club". We meet the band members dressed preppy style, strolling around the green grounds, each with an attractive young lady at their side.
The group have a round of golf, then retire to the country club lounge where the boys entertain the girls with a singsong, accompanied by an acoustic guitar and a tambourine. The girls are charmed by these talented young men, suggesting the fast times will keep going into the night.
It's an interesting choice of style for a debut video. Listening to the music, this is clearly a band who are capable of rocking out (and that's something that was featured in a lot of their subsequent videos), but for this one they're doing preppie realness – about as opposite as you can get from the actual Elemeno P.
Best bit: Gibbo takes a phone call on a giant brick-style cellphone.
Personally my fave bit was always spelling 'ELEMENOP' on Scrabble!
It's worth mentioning that this was the time when musical acts overseas were carefully getting cred with an edgy first single before doing something different (Pink sounded R&B in 2000 with "There You Go" which basically got her out of being called a pop princess despite most of her songs being pure pop, Blue in 2001 with All Rise). I always thought this video meant that it wasn't inaccessible to non-punk kids, but was witty and knowing enough to appeal to 20 somethings. And it was pretty memorable!

Close by: Known as the start of the Whisky Trail that spans 70 miles linking 7 distilleries, Dufftown can be traced back to early settlements in AD566.
The picturesque town has wide streets which centre on a square with a clock tower which now houses the tourist information centre. The local museum is well worth visiting as visitors can see the stills and watch the whisky being made and bottled during their stay in this delightful Highland town.
Although the earliest settlements can be traced back to AD566, the town was founded in 1817 by the Earl of Fife to give employment after the Napoleonic Wars.
The perfect water sources soon saw it become a centre for the distilling industry, (not always legally!) and today, its seven distilleries produce some of the most famous whiskies in the world including Glenfiddich, Glendullan, Pittyvaich, Kininvie, Mortlach, Balvenie and Dufftown-Glenlivet.
The remainder of any day can be spent playing golf, walking in the beautiful hills, watching the Highland Games, visiting the oldest church in Scotland or an ancient castle - even having a genuine Scottish kilt specially made by a qualified kiltmaker.

A fascinating discussion; took me back to the best of undergrad, when I was poring over Edward Said, experimenting with LSD, and exploring sigil magick myself. Wonderful to know these conversations are still happening. The idea of memes and logos as sigils; the idea of Q as a self-writing choose your own adventure script with a life of its own; and the nihilism of billionaires racing to survive a downfall while propagating its very genesis.. Wonderful stuff. And the thesis - as I took it - how about we try being here now and working to create a reality for ourselves and our community that moves away from this apocalyptic future, rather than using the Secret to fan its flames and bring it into being - beautiful crafted. Thanks so much.
Stephen Greenleaf
Thanks for this interesting conversation. During the conversation (early) Norman Vincent Peale and the New Thoughts tradition viz. Trump received a mention, and a reference was made to a book. I believe that the book the speaker was trying to recall was Dark Star Rising: Magick & Power in the Age of Trump by Gary Lachman. Lachman is an independent writer who addresses "the history and philosophy of consciousness." In Dark Star Rising he specifically addresses Trump's relationship to Peale and the many permutations of "chaos magic" and the influences of figures like Evola that have currency with the radical right.

Looking for Drug Rehab and treatment centers in Shiprock, New Mexico?
There are several drug rehab centers possibilities open to the people residing in the Shiprock area. It is important to recognize each one of the types of treatment options that are available in Shiprock, AB., in order to pick the ideal treatment option for yourself or a family member. Choosing the proper drug rehabilitation facility in Shiprock is a vital element in the process of treating of drug abuse, drug addiction and alcoholism. This data will help you to fully grasp your various rehabilitation options so that you have the best potential for a successful outcome.
Let's take a look at the various drug rehab programs in Shiprock, New Mexico possibilities that coincide with the condition of the individual looking for rehabilitation.
Inpatient alcohol and drug treatment in Shiprock, AB. is a rehabilitation option best for people who need medical treatment during rehabilitation or clients with considerable substance abuse histories. Women and men will experience both mental and physical dependence to drugs and alcohol even after a short period of time, so inpatient drug rehab in Shiprock is regarded as the best treatment choice in almost all cases. As a result of substance abuse and addiction, women and men will often not be able to make a full recovery using the limited services available from outpatient treatment programs in Shiprock, New Mexico where drugs are still easily available when they depart the outpatient program. In addition, people in rehab who receive outpatient treatment as opposed to inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Shiprock continue to be susceptible to negative influences and situations which may cut across their process of recovery. If an individual lives with an abusive companion or maintains associations which entail abusing drugs, any rehab activities in outpatient rehab will be in vain. For this reason in-patient drug treatment in Shiprock, AB. will most certainly result in more fruitful outcomes which will prove long lasting contrary to an outpatient drug and alcohol rehab facility where benefits are often very limited and acute.
In Shiprock there is both short-term and long-term inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation. Short-term is a 30-day center, while long-term inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Shiprock, New Mexico is a lot more prolonged and treatment can last 90-120 days on average. It is deemed an excellent environment for clients because it is a completely drug-free environment where they can recover both mentally and physically without distraction. Preferably, women and men will continue inside a long-term in-patient drug and alcohol rehab facility in Shiprock for the maximum stretch of time allowed, to be able to handle anything which can jeopardize their sobriety when they depart rehabilitation. Due to the fact detoxing and becoming physically stabilized can require two to three weeks by itself, the three to six months in long-term in-patient drug rehab in Shiprock will be time spent well and a lot more efficient than short-term programs.
The most important factor of all if you or a loved one is struggling with a substance abuse or addiction problem is to do something about it, call someone and seek the advice of trained addiction specialists and get an assessment and rehabilitation options to ensure the biggest chance for a full recovery.

He's currently working on a creative open-world RPG game temporarily called "ExploRPG." He's also been crafting an large universe that is the setting for Anaku, the most ambitious idea he feels he's ever had. Smaller Anaku projects crop up from time to time, but the largest would have to be the core trilogy of planned games bearing the Anaku title - which he feels is too large and complex to develop single-handedly.

Presidio Residential Capital and Watt Communities recently celebrated grand openings at Woodbury at Davis Ranch, a 6.5-acre community with 17 executive-level ranch-style homes in Fair Oaks, Calif., and The Village at Fair Oaks, a six-acre, 55-unit community on Madison Avenue.
"Presidio and Watt Communities are proud to offer the first new home communities to be built in the underserved Fair Oaks market for more than two decades," said Kevin S. Webb, Northern California division president for Watt Communities, which specializes in infill development. "We are anticipating high interest in these new neighborhoods that will be built to meet the needs of Northern California homebuyers."
Presidio has committed $7 million to help build Woodbury at Davis Ranch and $18 million to build The Village at Fair Oaks.
Woodbury, located at 10850 Fair Oaks Blvd., is being built on the last remaining parcel of the Davis family ranch, established by Walter Magnum Davis and his wife, Oma Bennett Davis, in the early 1900s. The historic area has established services and easy access to major employers including Aerojet, Intel, the Sunrise Mall and Birdcage Center shopping centers, light rail and schools in the highly ranked San Juan Unified School District as well as many private and parochial schools. Folsom Lake and the American and Sacramento rivers are within five miles of the site, and Lake Tahoe is a one-hour drive. Woodbury is expected to be complete by end of 2016.
The Village at Fair Oaks, located at 5385 Sablewood Dr. off of Madison Ave, offers three and four bedroom two-story homes with two-car garages, generous open space with a sitting area under mature oak trees and 32 guest parking spots. The community is located within 10 miles of major employers, including Intel Corp., Delta Dental and Aerojet Rocketdyne, and close to Sunrise Mall and to downtown event centers via easy freeway access to safe. Pedestrian access and bike trails to the American River are two miles away, and community residents will have access to boating and rafting on the nearby Sacramento River. The Village at Fair Oaks is expected to be complete by the end of 2017.

Vaccines – What You Need To Know
First published: April 19, 2019
Permalink: https://12bytes.org/15288
"The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness." — Dr. Richard Horton, Editor in Chief of The Lancet, one of the worlds most respected, peer-reviewed medical journals, 2015 (source)
Those who challenge widely held and long standing beliefs often face harsh criticism, personal attacks and ostracization. The adult ego and entrenched belief systems, even among those within the scientific and medical communities, can by themselves stifle relevant discussion and prevent further and necessary research. Far more worrying is the immense influence the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry has upon the scientific community, medical schooling, government policy and public perception. What the general public may perceive as scientifically valid information is often little more than thinly disguised propaganda disseminated by those having a vested interest in obtaining a particular result.
If you surmise that i am one of those "anti-vaccine" people, your assessment is not accurate, nor is it generally true that the plethora of scientists, healthcare professionals and parents who question the safety and efficacy of vaccines, are anti-vaccine; many are simply pro-safe vaccines. The government and the mainstream media use terms like "anti-vaxer" in an attempt to marginalize the rapidly growing number of professionals and parents who challenge the status quo, as though there are only two kinds of people who hold an opinion on vaccines; the right-think type who postulate that all vaccines are safe, and the wrong-think type who postulate that all vaccines are dangerous and must be avoided. The safety and efficacy of vaccines and the vaccination programs in the United States and elsewhere is not a binary one, nor by any stretch of the imagination is the science settled as the public is led to believe. Science is never settled, it is an ongoing process of discovery.
I would like to state up front that although i am highly critical of western medicine, i am less critical of the front line physicians who i believe are largely well Intentioned and genuinely concerned with the welfare of their patients. The problem is not the ethics of the doctor as much as it is the money wall that the pharmaceutical industry creates between the doctor and safer healthcare solutions. One cannot accurately access the issue of vaccine safety, nor the healthcare system in general, without understanding the tremendous influence that the pharmaceutical industry has upon the aforementioned institutions. Having studied a wide array of politically sensitive topics for many years, corruption is not a subject i'm foreign to, however the shear scale of blatant corruption and obscene criminality that exists within the healthcare system in the United States and elsewhere is impressive, even to me. The reader must account for this when considering any study published by the FDA, the CDC, pharmaceutical companies, or other vested interests, as well as the advice offered by their doctor since the education doctors receive is filtered through these heavily corrupt institutions.
Not all science is bad science, but not all science is sound science either and the trend seems to be getting worse as for-profit corporations, lobbyists and politics gain more influence in the field of science. Politics and greed are major forces which underlie virtually all of our primary institutions and to think for a moment that the healthcare industry has remained free of corruption, or even largely free of corruption, is a mistake of epic proportions. Raking in approximately $24 billion annually, and afforded blanket liability protection by the U.S. government, the vaccine industry is an incredibly lucrative one and where there is money there is greed. This is one reason for the dramatic increase in the number of vaccines a child is subjected to today (approximately 70 injections as of this writing). Meanwhile the overall health of the population, at least in the U.S., is experiencing a sharp decline.
the claims
Following are some of the popular claims regarding vaccines. Evidence to support the responses will be provided in this series of articles.
CLAIM: The science is settled.
RESPONSE: Science is never settled. Science is a constantly evolving process of discovery and revision. Furthermore, the profession of science is not at all immune from corruption or bias by vested interests with billions of dollars at stake. Evidence of corruption in science can clearly be seen in the cherry-picking of studies for publication where studies that produce a result which is favorable to a vested interest are published in far greater number than those which are not. One example is an anti-depressant for which there were 38 favorable studies and 36 negative. Of these, 37 of the positive studies were published verses only 3 of the negative studies and this is hardly an isolated case.
CLAIM: Vaccines are safe.
RESPONSE: Though there are multiple vectors from which to attack this claim, perhaps the most obvious is to question why, if it were true, the U.S. government has provided vaccine manufactures with blanket liability protection through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program which, as of this writing, has paid out approximately $40 billion dollars since its inception in 1988. Another problem with this claim is that parents, patients and physicians are typically not well educated regarding vaccines, their ingredients and potential side-effects. This lack of knowledge has led some researchers to estimate that only approximately 1% of vaccine attributable injuries are reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a resources which some doctors are not even aware of. As a result of this disturbing lack of knowledge, parents of children who suffer immediate and sometimes serious problems after receiving one or more vaccines are typically told that the reaction is normal, or a coincidence, or simply that the reaction cannot possibly be attributed to vaccines.
CLAIM: Vaccines save lives.
RESPONSE: This claim is far less concrete than the public is led to believe. There are many factors to be considered, including side-effects, virus propagation through live virus vaccines, herd immunity verses natural immunity, the latter of which is compromised as a direct result of vaccines, and many others which will be explored in this series of articles.
CLAIM: Unvaccinated people spread disease.
RESPONSE: Many outbreaks in cases where live virus vaccines were administered can be attributed to people who were fully vaccinated against the disease being spread. This can be seen in the cases of the polio, smallpox and measles vaccines for example. It is also alarming that some of those who are ardently pro-vaccine use this as an argument to support compulsory vaccination, as though the right of a parent to make decisions regarding their children's welfare should be excised.
CLAIM: Mercury has been removed from vaccines.
RESPONSE: As of the 2018-2019 season, thimerosal, an organomercurial compound, is present in all of the multi-dose influenza vaccines, as well as in several others, though primarily in trace amounts. Mercury is extremely neurotoxic and no studies have ever been sanctioned by the CDC regarding the safety of thimerosal when injected into the bloodstream.
CLAIM: There is no link between vaccines and autism.
RESPONSE: Even if you consider only studies published by the CDC, there is indeed evidence that vaccines can and have caused neurological damage, including problems which appear on the autism spectrum. When you consider a larger body of evidence, the link becomes more concrete. This is not to say that vaccines necessarily cause autism, but rather that there appears to be a statistically significant link between the two.
CLAIM: Dr. William Thompson, the CDC whistle-blower, is a fraud.
RESPONSE: While Dr. Thompson has certainly been professionally, personally and persistently attacked, no one has creditably refuted the results of his work regarding an association between the MMR vaccine and an increased rate of autism in African-American boys when the vaccine is administered at a very young age. By the way, Dr. Thompson is not anti-vaccine as he is painted by the media, nor did he ever state that vaccines cause autism. Dr. Thompson simply exposed the fact that the CDC manipulated and destroyed data in order to downplay a statistically significant link between the MMR vaccine and autism in African-American boys. As a result of his findings, Dr. Thompson simply recommended that the MMR vaccine be administered at a later age when the risk of developing autism was less significant.
CLAIM: Dr. Andrew Wakefield is a fraud.
RESPONSE: The Wakefield peer-reviewed Lancet paper was published along with 12 of his highly creditable colleagues. Are they all frauds too? Furthermore, the UK General Medical Council overturned the findings of misconduct against Dr. Wakefield in 2012 and this was later acknowledged by the Lancet. It appears that the National Institutes of Health, who has published well over 100 articles and papers referring to Dr. Wakefield, several of which are highly critical, has failed to acknowledge the findings of the UK High Court and as of February, 2018, 6 years after Wakefield was exonerated, there is no mention of the councils findings on his Wikipedia page.
CLAIM: All of the anti-vaccine rhetoric started with Dr. Andrew Wakefield.
RESPONSE: The controversy regarding the safety and efficacy of vaccines dates back to the mid 1800s and the live virus smallpox vaccine which caused a large number of deaths and spread the disease further. Though the contributions of Dr. Wakefield are not trivial, his work is a blip on an immensely larger radar.
CLAIM: The rise in the rate of autism is due to changes in the diagnostic criteria and increased public awareness.
RESPONSE: If the first part of that statement were true, we should have seen a sudden spike in the rate of autism cases shortly after the diagnostic criteria was altered, after which the curve should have normalized, however we are instead seeing an exponential rise with no ceiling in sight. It appears there were no changes to the diagnostic criteria between 1994 and 2013, yet the rate of autism continued to skyrocket during that time. According to the CDC, the number of autistic children in 2002 was 1 in 150 and just 10 years later it was 1 in 68. A study by the National Center for Health Statistics put the number at 1 in 35 for 2016 and the rate is expected by some to climb to 1 in 2 or 3 by 2025. As for the second part of the claim, the public doesn't define diagnostic criteria.
