Studies Highlight Cost Revelations Required To Treat Advanced Stage Liver Diseases
New studies conducted by Henry Ford hospital has brought to light that the cost of treating advanced stage liver diseases is two and a half times greater than the cost of treating the same disease in the initial stage. This is the first study that has taken up the study of health care cost in comparison with the severity of the disease.
The lead author of the study, director of Hepatology at the hospital, Dr. Stuart C. Gordon said that as a patient progresses in age, the severity of disease increases. People who are old and suffer from hepatitis C have to bear a higher cost of medical treatment. They are also a bigger burden economically on the health care system. The researchers are set to present the results during the 62nd Annual Meeting of the American Association for the study of Liver Diseases that is to be held in San Francisco.
According to surveys, close to four million people suffer from different stages of Hepatitis C infection in America but a large percentage of this population remains undiagnosed. Advanced stages of the disease can lead to problems such as cirrhosis which can further lead to a number of complications.
Cost considerations were studies for patients who had to get treated for hepatitis C infection. Data ranging from 2003 to 2010 were studies and results were compared. The various aspects that were taken into consideration were drug costs and other medical services such as diagnostics tests and doctor visits. Commuting to the hospital, if in an ambulance, was also considered. On the whole 53, 796 patients suffering from chronic hepatitis were studied. Among these, 78% that is 41,858 were diagnosed without cirrhosis, 7% that is 3718 were diagnosed with compensated cirrhosis, 15% that is 8220 were diagnosed with end stage liver disease. The average ages of people in each group were 49, 51 and 52 respectively.
It was found that health care costs increased by 32% when disease was in medium condition and increased to 247$ when the disease was in the end stage liver condition. A major part of the cost, about 90%, was attributed to inpatient care, pharmacy and ambulatory costs. For those who were suffering with end stage liver disease and compensated cirrhosis, these costs came up to 93%. The problem with hepatitis C is that it takes years for the virus to show up and by them severe damage can be caused. Symptoms are not very evident.

I was thrilled to see the Belizean coastline on the cover of your March issue, but let me extol the virtues of traveling inland, too. My husband and I spent a wonderful week at the Ka'ana Boutique Resort (doubles from $450), in the rain-forested Cayo District. The location is perfect for hiking, spelunking, and exploring some of the world's most beautiful Mayan archaeological sites—all arranged by a warm and welcoming staff. —Sumbul Chai, Baltimore, Md.
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed Guy Trebay's "The Future of the Postcard." An unexpected postcard from a faraway place is a treat for both the eye and the soul. My work has allowed me to travel to many exotic destinations around the world, and the first thing I do in each place is seek out unique postcards. Then I find a local bistro or coffee shop and write to family and friends. I also make sure to send a card to myself at home, so I've collected wonderful souvenirs of all the places that I've visited over the years! —Gretchen Mayes, San Antonio, Tex.
--->, I must say that some of them could have been easily avoided. A tip for Trevor Smith, who was "Bedridden in the Big Apple": Before going on an extended trip, you should purchase travel insurance that covers your emergency medical expenses as well as your travel costs. As a general rule, the younger you are, the cheaper it is. And here's another simple solution I've learned: For cruises or guided excursions, plan to arrive a day before embarkation. That way you'll have some extra cushioning in case of flight delays, and it's also just a more relaxing way to start your vacation. —Hugh Stevenson, Washington, D.C.
I just read Mark Orwoll's Smart Traveler article about how the days of reserving airline seats for free are numbered. I understand that everyone has to make a profit, but all of this "à la carte" pricing is driving me crazy. Like the flying public does not have enough hassles already. Just raise the price of the ticket and give us a break! —Teresa E. Winkler, Taylorsville, Ky.

I'm surprised that Zegrahm & Eco Expeditions (14-day tours from $6,980) wasn't listed as one of your "World's Top Adventure Trips." With Zegrahm I circumnavigated the Black Sea and explored Melanesia by snorkeling from Fiji to New Guinea—the two best trips of my life. —Karen Carlson, Corona Del Mar, Calif.
My husband and I recently took a road trip from San Francisco to Mendocino. Late one night, we arrived at the Agate Cove Inn (doubles from $179, breakfast included), with 10 cozy cabins on a bluff overlooking the Pacific. Upon waking, we found spectacular ocean views from every window in our room. One of our most lasting memories of the weekend was of watching the sun descend into the water from the front lawn. It was a magical ending point to an amazing journey. We will definitely return. —Wendy Zacuto, Playa Del Rey, Calif.

The original Orient-Express route from Istanbul to Paris, to get the East-meets-West experience. And then I'd return home on the Concorde. It no longer exists, but it's still a dream. —Gabriella Berenyi Crosby, Pasadena, Calif.
With UNICEF, wherever needed, to help disadvantaged children around the world. —Evelyn Spencer, Philadelphia, Pa.
A two-week family fishing trip along the coasts of British Columbia and southern Alaska, moving between lodges by floatplane. —John Thornberry, Wichita, Kans.

Here, the most searched terms on TravelandLeisure.com at press time.
Set just down the road from the Mayan ruins at Xunantunich and the Guatemalan border, Ka'ana—Mayan for "heavenly place"—opened in 2007 as the first luxury resort in Western Belize. The resort's main hacienda has five Balam rooms overlooking the infinity pool; 15 larger, semi-independent casitas are tucked among the property's shade palms and lush tropical foliage. All have interiors that combine local craftsmanship with contemporary cool—furnishings made from indigenous wood and stone share space with plasma flat-screens, iPod docking stations, and personal espresso machines (in a unique twist, the Mayan-inspired wall art from local painter Jorge Landero is switched every four days). The restaurant makes use of local ingredients, many from the resort's own organic garden.
Adventure travelers who like a little luxury on the side book with Zegrahm for exclusive, small-ship cruises and land-based travel to far-flung destinations. Founded in 1990, the company is known for environmentally and culturally responsible exploration, led by scientists, naturalists, and historians. Clients pay top dollar for off-the-beaten-track visits with remote indigenous populations, photo ops with exotic wildlife, and scuba diving adventures in pristine marine environments. A trekking-and-rafting expedition to Uganda in search of primates, hippos, and Nile crocs is currently a hot trip. Two-week to three- week trips cost between $8,900 and $45,900—prices include transportation, accommodations, meals, and activities.
Set 125 feet on a bluff above the Pacific, this farmhouse and collection of cottages are well guarded from the occasional 25-foot wave that crashes into the cliff below. The rugged, temperamental beauty of the Mendocino coast contrasts with the sublime wildflower gardens on the grounds of the 10-room bed-and-breakfast. Nature lovers will relish in the abundance of cypress and redwood trees, while wildlife enthusiasts should book a room between December and April for the chance to see whales passing by in the waters below.
Insider Tip: An in-room massage service is available, and if you still need help winding down after that, the inn can arrange to have a bucket of chilled, locally brewed beers delivered to your cottage.

Boston Marriage: Women Living Together, 19th/20th Century Style

Jone Johnson Lewis is a women's history writer who has been involved with the women's movement since the late 1960s. She is a former faculty member of the Humanist Institute.
With the advent of the David Mamet production, "Boston Marriage," a term once obscure surfaced again to the public consciousness. It's come back into public consciousness since, as a term for women living in a marriage-like relationship, though with the legalization of marriage for same sex couples, the term is being used less frequently for current relationships, and mostly applied historically.
In the 19th century, this term was used for households where two women lived together, independent of any male support. Whether these were lesbian relationships -- in the sexual sense -- is debatable and debated. The likelihood is that some were, some weren't. Today, the term "Boston marriage" is sometimes used for lesbian relationships -- two women living together -- which are not sexual, but usually romantic and sometimes erotic. We might call them "domestic partnerships" today.
The term "Boston marriage" is not derived from the Massachusetts legalization of same-sex marriages in 2004. Nor was it invented for David Mamet's writing. The term is much older. It came to be used, apparently, after Henry James's 1886 book, The Bostonians, detailed a marriage-like relationship between two women. They were "New Women" in the language of the time: women who were independent, not married, self-supporting (which sometimes meant living off of inherited wealth or making a living as writers or other professional, educated careers).
Perhaps the best-known example of a "Boston marriage," and one which may have been a model for James's characters, is the relationship between the writer Sarah Orne Jewett and Annie Adams Fields.
Several books in recent years have discussed possible or actual "Boston marriage" relationships. This new frankness is one result of the greater acceptance today of gay and lesbian relationships in general. A recent biography of Jane Addams by Gioia Diliberto examines her marriage-like relationships with two women at two different periods of her life: Ellen Gates Starr and Mary Rozet Smith. Less known is the long, live-in relationship of Frances Willard (of the Women's Christian Temperance Union) with her companion, Anna Adams Gordon. Josephine Goldmark (key writer of the Brandeis brief) and Florence Kelley (National Consumers League) lived in what might be termed a Boston marriage.
Charity Bryant (aunt of William Cullen Bryant, an abolitionist and poet) and Sylvia Drake, in the early 19th century in a town in western Vermont, lived in what the nephew described as a marriage, even when marriage between two women was still legally unthinkable. The community apparently accepted their partnership, with some exceptions including members of their family. The partnership included living together, sharing a business, and owning joint property. Their joint gravesite is marked with a single gravestone.
Rose (Libby) Cleveland, sister of President Grover Cleveland -- who also served as First Lady until the bachelor president married Frances Folsom -- carried out a long-term romantic and erotic relationship with Evangeline Marrs Simpson, living together in their later years and being buried together.

We today changed our polling method to a system called Approval voting.
The difference? You can now vote for several of the "candidates" when casting your vote, instead of just one.
For example, in our current poll "What should we cover the most during Comdex?" you could select both Wireless and GPS, if both interests you.
"Approval voting, the simplest of the alternative methods, dates back to at least the 13th century, when Venetians used it to help elect their magistrates. It was subsequently reinvented many times, although it didn't acquire a name until 1976. In an approval vote, a person casts one vote for every candidate he or she considers qualified for the office. It's like an opinion poll, only the results are added up to determine a winner ..."
"Voters are more equal if they have an equal opportunity to express themselves," he [Donald Saari] argues. If I prefer one candidate above everyone else, I can better express myself with a bullet vote for him. Another voter who hates one candidate can express his preferences by voting for the other four."

"Be true to yourself and always surround yourself with your family and true friends. They are the ones who will support you through the bumps in the road and celebrate your successes."
Ms. McClung knows that, when she's having fun in her classroom, she knows her boys are having fun, as well. To keep learning fun, she strives to create lessons that are joyful and engaging. She loves teaching second grade and finding ways to challenge and support her boys to reach their personal best every day. She strongly believes that in order for her students to learn, she needs to generate enthusiasm in order to ensure they are truly connecting with the material. This engagement comes through a multi-sensory, hands on, and student centered approach, and her understanding that each of her boys are unique and all have individual strengths and challenges. Because Ms. McClung takes the time to really get to know the strengths and weaknesses of each of her students, she is able to "meet them where they are and take them as far as they can go." She hopes that each of her boys will have fun, be productive learners, and feel like a significant member of the classroom community each day.
hen Ms. McClung is not in the classroom, she enjoys going for walks and snuggling with her lab, Boston, decompressing through hot yoga and curling up with a good book. One of her all time favorite reads is A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. Ms. McClung also helps with Sarah's Hope and supports The Richmond Animal Rescue League.
She finally had the opportunity to fulfill a life-long dream by going skydiving last summer. During her jump, she even said hello to her BL boys from 11,000 feet!

Iran looking to get some: Iran commander calls U.S. military in Gulf a target
If Iran is stupid enough to start mess, the U.S. will accommodate them for sure.
We owe then payback!
Trust Org reports a senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander said on Sunday the U.S. military presence in the Gulf used to be a serious threat but now represents a target, the Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA) reported.
The U.S. military has sent forces, including an aircraft carrier and B-52 bombers, to the Middle East in a move that U.S. officials said was made to counter "clear indications" of threats from Iran to American forces in the region.
The USS Abraham Lincoln is replacing another carrier rotated out of the Gulf last month.
"An aircraft carrier that has at least 40 to 50 planes on it and 6,000 forces gathered within it was a serious threat for us in the past but now it is a target and the threats have switched to opportunities," said Amirali Hajizadeh, head of the Guards' aerospace division.

Networking is important for college students, and especially graduates, as they prepare to enter the workforce. So many opportunities are opened up through the contacts you make in college and beyond. One way you can expand your network is by joining a business organization or honor society.
Over the last several years of the economic recovery, career specialists noticed that employers were requiring two years of experience for entry-level positions. Due to the oversupply of talented and experienced job applicants, recent college grads were feeling the pressure of these higher expectations, which were resulting in higher unemployment and underemployment rates. To assist students with this challenge, the Career Services and Internship Office at Marymount California University developed an active internship program that offers its students college units for experiential educational experiences.

Over the last ten years the college tuition, on average, has risen 26% for private schools and 40% for public school. This certainly raises legitimate questions on whether or not you will get the return on your investment (ROI) from any sort of college education. The simple answer to this question is yes there is value in a college education and more specifically an MBA. However, I would recommend that any prospective student analyze in more depth what the real value is to earning an MBA degree. Here are a couple of factors to consider. Read more.
Not so long ago, most business people saw helping the environment and assisting those less fortunate as something to support after a long period of commercial success. Imagine building a business, though, where doing good was the basis of doing well; a company that had social and environmental benefits built into the business model itself, not as an afterthought or side effort. This is the case with the company I have helped to start and build out, called Jadora LLC. Read more.
Recent graduate Hanna Hermansson took full advantage of the opportunities provided to her by Marymount California University, earning a BA in Business, with an emphasis in Accounting and a concentration in Management. After listening to Kathleen Ruiz, Marymount's controller, speak in her Corporate Finance course, Hanna began working with Kathleen in the Business Office at MCU. This was an excellent opportunity for Hanna to utilize her accounting skills in a realistic work environment and gain insights into her long-term career objectives. Like Hanna, many business graduates have taken advantage of similar work opportunities and internships, contributing to the impressive fact that 95 percent of recent MCU business graduates who responded to the latest survey taken by Marymount's Career Services and Internships Office are either employed or in graduate school.

In the classic 1939 film, The Wizard of Oz, when the bumbling cast of characters is in the Wizard's chamber, the little dog Toto pulls back a curtain to reveal the real Wizard pulling levers, turning cranks and pushing buttons to create the his public identity. Strategy, as it applies to organizations of all varieties, has the same concerns as the Wizard of Oz. Nothing is done in isolation. Just as the Wizard pulls multiple levers and turns multiple cranks, developing and executing an organizational strategy requires pulling multiple levers, such as balancing multiple objectives and operating within multiple constraints. Managers must be concerned about their competitors, customers, non-customers, suppliers, regulations, the macroeconomic environment and internal resistance to their plans. Read more.
In a constantly changing economic landscape, often disrupted by rapid advances in technology, where long-established businesses seem to quickly lose their competitive edge to newly created firms, it's imperative that we place an emphasis on an entrepreneurial education. Human capital enhances the quality of labor (the worker), and highly qualified workers are often innovative and, hence, entrepreneurial. Entrepreneurship is the human resource that organizes land, which includes all the gifts of nature, labor and capital to produce goods and services to satisfy human wants. In addition to expanding the production possibilities of the economy and generating profit to the owner, innovative entrepreneurship creates new and often good paying jobs that require highly skilled labor. Such is the case with Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Uber, IT start-ups and others. MCU as a whole, and the Business & Economic division in particular, is conscious of this fact and has tailored its curriculum towards the acquisition of skills (competency-based instruction) that employers want; but also skills that can be used by graduates to start their own businesses if they so choose.

Disney Cruise Line Releases Details on the 2-Story Wish Tower Suite
May 14, 2021 May 14, 2021 Jackie Gailey dcl fan, Disney Cruise, Disney Cruise Line, Disney Wish, funnel stateroom, highlight, Wish Tower Suite
In the newest deck plans, details have been revealed for the Wish Tower Suite, a first-of-its-kind accommodation set high in the forward funnel of the Disney Wish, which debuts in summer 2022. With an elegant design inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios' Moana, incomparable ocean views, and premium Disney service, this 1,966-square-foot penthouse in the sky will be a celebration of the enchantment and spirit of the sea.
The Wish Tower Suite is the latest addition to the new Disney ship, where every storybook-inspired stateroom will be a luxurious, peaceful retreat designed with ample room for families, plenty of storage, and upscale amenities.
90% of the 1,254 staterooms on the Disney Wish will offer ocean views, more than 900 rooms will connect to accommodate larger families and more premium concierge accommodations will be available than ever before.
Each of our theme parks has a majestic icon that captures our guests' imaginations, said Laura Cabo, portfolio creative executive, Walt Disney Imagineering. On a Disney cruise ship, that beacon of magic is our signature red funnels. For the first time ever, guests aboard the Disney Wish will be able to book an incredible two-story suite that's actually located within one of our funnels. With the Wish Tower Suite, we are creating a breathtaking experience that continues our tradition of the most unique and enchanting accommodations at sea.
Wish Tower Suite
The Wish Tower Suite will be Disney Cruise Line's most unique accommodation yet. With nearly 2,000 square feet of living space, it will comfortably sleep up to eight guests with two main bedrooms, a children's room, a library that converts to a bedroom and four-and-a-half bathrooms.
The magnificent living room will be flanked by an open dining area, a large pantry and a bar, all offering extraordinary views across the upper decks to the horizon through an expansive two-story window wall.
Located on the upper-level loft, the main bedrooms will be lavish and serene with king beds, walk-in closets and floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the living area below to the views beyond. The main bathrooms will each have double vanities, soaking tubs and rain showers.
Enchanting Design
The Wish Tower Suite is being designed with artwork, iconography, and materials that evoke the Oceania-inspired world of Moana. A soothing palette of calm blues, soft whites, and deep corals will lay the foundation for family rest and relaxation, while creative ornaments and custom artwork will convey sophisticated nods to the characters and locales of the film.
The piece de resistance will be a hand-crafted porcelain sculpture that comes alive in an only-Disney-can-do way. When guests arrive home to the Wish Tower Suite, they may discover the statue pulsing in myriad hues of green amid soft chimes that recall the film's distinctive soundtrack, revealing itself as the heart of Te Fiti. The special lighting and audio effects will eventually fill the room to provide a truly magical, one-of-a-kind greeting.
Other film-inspired decorations include a custom canvas piece depicting Moana sailing on the sea; dimensional props that celebrate the treasures of the ocean and the local crafts of Moana's village; and a glittering sculpture composed of shiny objects – a playful interpretation of Tamatoa's dazzling collection. The children's room, which will feature uniquely designed built-in bunkbeds, will enchant kids of all ages with a sparkling constellation pattern that lights up the ceiling to reveal imagery from the movie composed entirely of stars: Moana's oar, Gramma Tala, Maui's hook and the heart of Te Fiti.
Unparalleled Service and Amenities
Guests can expect the royal treatment while staying in the Wish Tower Suite, marked by the expert service of a personal concierge team, an elegant array of curated experiences, a delightful selection of daily treats and a private elevator.
The Wish Tower Suite will feature plush Frette duvets, bed linens, bath towels and robes; motorized sheer and block-out curtains; a wet bar stocked with water and sodas; complimentary internet access; and a deluxe menu of hypo-allergenic, feather and therapeutic memory foam pillows. Guests will also enjoy VIP access to the concierge lounge and sun deck with two whirlpools, a wading pool, a bar, lush lounge furniture and the superlative service of a pool deck host.
Maiden Voyage and Inaugural Season
The Disney Wish will sail its maiden voyage on June 9, 2022, followed by a season of three- and four-night cruises to Nassau, Bahamas, and Disney's private island, Castaway Cay, from Port Canaveral, Florida. Bookings open to the general public on May 27, 2021.
Pricing has just been released for the inaugural season of the Disney Wish!

Q: What special considerations should be taken into account for testing and simulating against GNSS jamming and spoofing?
A: Current integrations of GPS include a controlled reception pattern antenna (CRPA). Testing with a standard interference or jamming source will not provide accurate results. Wavefront generator simulators are capable of outputting signals that correctly stimulate the GPS receiver's antenna electronics. All of the signals are correctly displaced according to the antenna's reception pattern with a jamming source that is coherent.
A: Testing GNSS receiver spoofing and jamming resilience under real-life scenarios requires mixing live-sky GNSS signals with synthesized spoofed signals. This requires the spoofing signal generator to be time- and position-locked to the live-sky signal to within nanoseconds. GNSS simulators that allow nanosecond-level synchronization to live-sky signals can enable such testing. Low-cost simulators can enable testing with multiple simultaneous spoofers/jammers.
A: With the sophistication of GNSS threats, simulators should be able to generate a variety of interferences and jammers that users can easily control. Also, the jammers' characteristics (Doppler, power level, and so on) should reflect the dynamic of the vehicle and jammers. Such characteristics are almost impossible to simulate when the jamming source is not integrated with the simulator.
A: For jamming, test for multi-frequency/constellation, accurately controlling jamming-to-signal ratios and strength levels, and simulate several types of jammers: carrier-wave, sweep, noise, FM chirp and so on. For spoofing, two synchronized simulators are best: one for the live sky and one for the spoofer. Tightly control the sync accuracy, the relative power between the two signals, and the spoofer's estimation accuracy of the target's position.
A: Antenna technology, directionality and filtering have a large part to play in mitigating the impact of jamming and spoofing. Conventional laboratory receiver testing often overlooks the effect of the antenna. New approaches need to be developed to allow antenna effects be incorporated into testing either by including the antenna to be part of the test setup or by accurately simulating the directionality/filtering capability of the antenna.
A: Most jamming occurs due to RFI used to keep positioning unavailable. As such, typical jammers are CW or sweep-CW. Testing is then mostly a matter of proper jamming-to-signal simulation. On the contrary, spoofing aims at luring the receiver from its true position. Simulations are difficult as slowly power increasing spoofing signals must be synchronized with true received signals to take over the locked tracking loops.


Perhaps your love of science brought you here. Or was it a Lenovo product? Cute scientists? A combination of the three? However you arrived, I hope you enjoy stories of scientists, from academia to industry, discussing their work and the Lenovo products they use for getting their work done (okay, and helping with some play).
Until today, the eeriest part of this Halloween season had been Trizol contamination in my samples and rampant RNA degradation…that was until I came across these photos from 1990 or 1991.
Me with my sister...and like you, I have no idea what I'm supposed to be, other than a grateful blue dinosaur that likes pink.
Costumes were clearly hand-me-downs in my family. Even then, Alf was a bit dated. At least my brother looks less awful than I do.
I'm not sure why, but costumes in the 1980s and 1990s were awful. I just don't understand why masks were supplied with plastic aprons advertising what you were supposed to be. Why?! And, yes, like you I'm cringing just slightly at my costume. Why I'm a dinosaur wearing pink, I'm not sure.
Yes, photographs can be a bit embarrassing, but I'm grateful that my dad took abundant photographs and video when I was a child. Get out there, have a great Halloween, and feel free to embarrass your children. And for those of you who will be staying indoors, aside from the usual tradition of watching Hocus Pocus, let me recommend starting a new tradition: Reading Bradbury's The Halloween Tree. You won't be disappointed.
The Academy of Geniuses is a company that is engaged in training children of all abilities information technology. Above all, the academy aims to instill important life qualities: analytical thinking, logic, and perseverance in achieving goals. Second, the academy teaches practical skills: a robotics courses helps the children understand the basics of mechanics, engineering, constructing robots, and controlling them using computer programs, whereas the programming club teaches students how to properly manage their computers and how to use the PC to solve professional problems. On the other hand, the system administration courses gives the students the opportunity to learn the skills required of servicing an entire network. Not surprisingly, with the proliferation of mobile devices, one of the most popular courses instructs students on developing mobile applications on Android phones and tablets. Though the students may be young, courses are designed with pragmatism in mind: all professional languages the academy uses are in demand in the labor market, be it Java or 1C programming language. Ultimately, the pupils are instilled with a belief that the positive changes they can bring about in the world outweigh the monetary rewards.
The program thus far has been a remarkable success. More than 750 children of the Kalinigrad region have attended the summer classes—naturally, robust equipment is needed to serve so many students (especially young students). For this reason, the Academy of Geniuses has opted to use more than 40 Lenovo computers.
For anyone who can speak Russian, I encourage you to learn more about the academy on their Facebook group or the PDF that I have enclosed. I would like to congratulate Andrew and Julia for their remarkable work. I and Lenovo wish them many more years of success!
Gregory Costa is a decent biologist, mediocre writer, terrible formatter, but true Lenovo enthusiast, who admires the use of their products in both the academic and industrial setting...when he's not busy delighting himself in science, nature, or his OkCupid profile.


Last week we announced the arrival of Cervélo Cycles to the Bespoke family. We couldn't be happier at adding one of the most iconic bike brands of the last two decades to our stable, and we thought this would be a good opportunity look at the history of the brand and its current range of bikes.
"We build the fastest and lightest pro bikes for road, tri and track," is the bold claim by the company, and there's few that would argue with that. They've won more road races and Ironman events over the years than we can care to remember, but all that success comes back to a founding principle of applying science to bike design. It's for that reason they've been pioneers in an often conservative industry, setting trends where others have rushed to imitate.
Cervélo has long been regarded as an innovator, casting aside convention in pursuit of superior product design and materials development, all with the desire to win provide the best bikes for winning races. They've sponsored pro teams and even had their own team, and their bikes have won more triathlon and Ironman events than most other brands.
The story starts in 1995. Phil White and Gerard Vroomen showed their first product, the bold Barrachi, a full carbon time trial frame with a beam saddle design and integrated handlebars.
"The idea [behind the Barrachi] was to make riders faster and not be constrained by current thinking," Phil White explains. "So we used an evidence-based scientific approach. The Baracchi is a two-man time trial, so our goal was to make the bike as fast as two people. That's where the name came from. We didn't approach it from the standpoint of engineering a better bike, but of how you would make the rider faster."
The introduction of strict bicycle design rules by the UCI would confine this bike to the history books, but it had paved the way for a company intent on pushing the envelope and thinking outside the box. This was a company founded and run by engineers. The product came first, not the marketing plan, though they're not immune to the odd buzzword. A year later would see the launch of the Eyre road bike and more critically the P2 time trial bike, a bike which would soon net many race victories and ensure the company's future success. The rest, as they say, is history.
The company's interest in aerodynamics and the utilisation of computational fluid dynamics and wind-tunnel testing to achieve its goals was a technology in its infancy but Cervélo's grasp of it would set the tone for the future direction of all its bikes. In 2002 came arguably one of Cervélo's most pivotal bike designs, the Soloist Team. Here was the birth of the aero road bike genre, a road bike embracing the aero shaped frame of a time trial rig. It would go onto define an entire category. While the Soloist was originally made from aluminium, a carbon version quickly followed and since then all Cervélos have been made from carbon. Cervélo also showed an astute understanding of carbon fibre and how best to utilise the black plastic and revolutionised tube profiles with the development of its iconic rounded square tubes dubbed Squoval, and in the Californian manufactured Rca produced, at the time, one of the lightest production frames the cycling world had ever seen.
In road racing the company showed it wasn't daunted by the big guns dominating the professional peloton and produced ground-breaking bikes that win go on to win the biggest, hardest and fastest road races. From the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix to the mountains of the Tour de France, its road bikes were raced to the top step of the podium time and time again.
The company's association with top flight pro racing began with sponsorship of Team CSC, and in a partnership that lasted for six years, there were countless victories too numerous to list. Carlos Sastre won the Tour de France, both Stuart O'Grady and Fabian Cancellara won Paris-Roubaix, wins that help to put Cervélo on the map. When this winning partnership reached its conclusion, Cervélo stepped up and fielded its own team with the introduction of the Cervélo TestTeam. An exciting team that promoted fan interaction - its Beyond the Barrier video series was a must-watch, you can see the first episode here - the goal wasn't just about winning races, but of developing products for Cervélo and sponsorship partners. The Castelli Gabba was born on the Test Team.
But it won lots of races. Lots of them. Thor Hushovd the 2009 Tour de France green jersey and world championships, and on the women's team (yes, they not only produced a world-class men's pro team but a women's team as well), Emma Pooley won the UCI Women's Timetrial in 2010. The Test Team came to a close in 2011 when it sponsored the Slipstream team along with Garmin for four years. Then, in 2015, Cervélo got together with MTN-Qhubeka which became Dimension-Data last year and counts Mark Cavendish as one of its riders.
"From the beginning, Cervélo disrupted the bike industry," Phil White adds. "We couldn't sell our aero bikes when we first brought them out - they looked too different. We had to prove to riders that they were faster, and tell them that the sport is a contest of speed, not a fashion show. When we started our own team (the Cervélo TestTeam) it was in part to make the riders get on those bikes, and see that they really were faster. You see those shapes all over the industry now. Thinking outside the box started from the beginning with this company."
Today, the Cervélo range is split between the P series of triathlon and time trial bikes, the R series of lightweight all-round bikes, the S series is all about aerodynamics, the newest C series is the company's foray into endurance, and the T series is for track racing. Getting your head around the Cervélo range is relatively easy, it simply does not produce as many models as most big bike brands with a very narrow focus on racing and performance steering it clear of many segments.
The R series is the classic, all-round lightweight and stiff road bike, the one that does everything well, at home in the mountains or a road race. As with the rest of the categories, the bigger number denotes a higher ranking model.
The flagship bike in this race is the Rca, one of the lightest production bikes in the world and a culmination of the company's extensive expertise. It's also entirely made at the company's special California design facility where new carbon layups and product designs are first tested. The Rca is now in its second-generation and its some 35g lighter than the original, and that only weighed 667g so it was hardly in need of shedding weight!
The R5 is a frame that draws heavily on the pioneering development of the Rca but in a slightly more affordable package and less limited production runs. It has been updated for 2018 with a revised frame that, for the first time is available with a choice or rim or disc brakes. Whichever version you opt for, you're looking at a frame that is stiffer and more aerodynamic than the previous R5, with a new aero profiled downtube and integrated seat clamp. There's also been a revision to the geometry with the stack height reduced at the behest of the professionals. And as is popular with the latest generation race bikes, the R5 now takes up to 28mm tyres for increased ride smoothness.
With the changes to the R5 making it racier, the new and updated R3 is essentially all that the old R5 was wrapped up in new paint and decals. To that end, the new R3 has the same stiffness levels as the old R5 but it's a bit lighter, while the geometry is not as aggressive. Like the R5, the new R3 is also available with rim or disc brakes. The R3 is one of the most successful bikes in the company's range and enjoyed huge popularity the likes of Fabian Cancellara was dominating the pave aboard a slightly modified R3.
"Square shapes resist bending the best, while round shapes are tops when it comes to torsion. Since different frame tubes see a variable mix of bending and torsional loads, a careful combination of these shapes can offer the best of both worlds. Enter Squoval, which combines the attributes of a square and an oval to achieve an ideal balance of stiffness, weight and aerodynamics," explains Cervélo.
As well as that, Cervélo R series bikes were characterised by super skinny seatstays that not only kept the weight down but also contributed to the seated comfort, allowing the tubes to bend and absorb vibrations. Cervélo also developed its own bottom bracket standard, BBRight, an asymmetric design that extended the non-drive-side by 11mm, expanding it to 79mm, to increase frame stiffness by allowing for an enlarged chainstay. Of course, all frames featured internal cable routing with future-proofed routing solutions and reduced friction bottom bracket guides.
Cervélo can claim to have kicked off the whole aero road bike category with the launch of the Soloist Team way back in 2002. From that bike grew an entire range of aero road bikes (and many imitations) over the years that would push the boundaries of aero understanding.
The S5 is its most advanced aero road bike to date and comes with a huge stack of aero claims as deep as the aero tube profiles. Now in its second incarnation, the S5 looks every bit the aero road bike, with deep profiled main tubes and a staggering 21.3 watt saving at 40kph compared to the original, largely thanks to an all-new aero handlebar. This is the bike you see Mark Cavendish racing, and it's no surprise he picks the fastest bike the company makes.
The S3 is the S5's little brother and trades in some outright aero performance for all-round riding performance and is now available with disc brakes alongside the existing rim brake model. Cervélo has been slow to the disc brake market but it's making up for it now, and the S3 Disc will surely go up against the likes of the Specialized Venge ViAS Disc and other key rivals. There are benefits to disc brakes: Cervélo claims that it has been able to fully redesign the frame and make the new bike 2 watts faster, 40g lighter and 9% stiffer than the rim brake incarnation.
It's clear Cervélo's heart has always been in racing and winning, but in 2015 it recognised the popularity of so-called endurance bikes and released the C series, with the C3 (cheaper) and C5 (expensive) bikes.
The C series is built around a more relaxed geometry with a higher front-end for long-distance comfort, space for wide tyres and disc brakes and thru-axles. Cervélo didn't let up on the performance though, and the carbon frame with alloy hardware is a claimed 840g - that's lighter than some top-end carbon race bikes. And this one has mudguard mounts, the first Cervélo ever to accommodate mudguards. The C Series owes its development to the solid engineering from the R Series, such as the super skinny seatstays and Squoval profile tubes and smart cable routing.
The P series is the company's triathlon and Ironman bikes and covers the P2, P3, P5 and P5x.
Showing the radical thinking that Cervélo is capable of, the striking P5x moved time trial and triathlon bikes in a direction we had never seen before. Not since the Lotus 108 has there been such a turning point in bike development. Completely ignoring the UCI rulebook, this is a triathlon-specific bike with disc brakes and a cutaway frame design that Cervélo claims makes it the ultimate triathlon bike and which it tested with 180 hours of wind tunnel time. Hard to argue with a bike that looks as dramatic as this.
The Cervélo P5 has long been the company's flagship time trial bike since it first launched in 2012 and replaced the P4 until the groundbreaking P5X above came along that is. The P5 was novel in that it featured specially designed Magura hydraulic disc brakes, unusual on any bike let alone a time trial bike, which not only provided superior braking to most of the rivals but also helped Cervélo to produce one of, if not the most, aerodynamic time trial bikes of its generation. Hydraulic hoses don't mind how awkwardly they are routed, and this allowed Cervélo to really clean up the frame and reduce cluttered routing, and the brakes are designed to be aerodynamic - the rear brake is hidden under a casing to hide it from the airflow.
Despite the advances made by the range-topping P5, the older P3 is still a hugely popular model in the Canadian company's range. It has a huge legacy, taking over from the original P2 and winning more races than most tri and time trial bikes, there's a lot to love. It also has a lot in common with the P5 and much of the frame design is the same, the P3 simply saves money by dropping some of the integration, such as the hydraulic brands and cockpit. The P3 has grown a longer head tube during its life, to reduce the stack of spacers that Cervélo noticed many consumers were adding to get the desired fit, but the swap to a conventional base bar and extensions permits a wide range of adjustment.

Home > English > Campaigns > Email > How can I prevent my emails from ending up in the spam folder?
If there's one thing you can be sure about deliverability is that it has no magic formula! There's no way to guarantee that your emails land in the inbox of all your contacts (just as there's no way you can legally burst into someone else's home as you please :).
Don't fret though - there's plenty of ways to ensure the chances of your emails making it through are as high as possible!
This is the big one! It's by far the thing that most impacts your deliverability and the main cause to toss you in the junk folder. Major ISPs such as Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo keep a close eye on your mailings to gauge how people respond. The more people open, click through, answer or forward your emails, the more they're engaged with your brand.
ISPs will make a note of this and use it to assign you a sending reputation. The higher your sending reputation, the more ISPs will love you and the better your inbox placement will be (you can take a look at your current reputation by placing the mouse on the upper right corner menu of your E-goi account).
Then you're in big trouble! ISPs will be quick to crack down on your reputation, karate-kicking your emails straight to the spam folder or blocking them altogether. Your E-goi account may even be automatically suspended!
How can you prevent this? There's one single surefire way: send emails only to people who gave you prior, express consent to receive those emails (preferably by signing up using a double opt-in subscription form in your site). Click the infographic below to learn whether your list is OK to use.
Building an opt-in contact database (congrats! :) is only half the equation. You can't just carpet-bomb those people with daily emails and expect tons of opens. That'll actually work against you.
Why? Remember what we said about your sending reputation above? ISPs look at the way people behave when you mail them. If they don't respond well, your sending reputation will be downgraded (too few opens and clickthroughs may actually flush it down the drain), so it's vital that your emails build a relationship with your target audience.
1) Clearly state in your sign-up form that subscribers will be sent emails from you and how often (weekly, every two weeks, etc.).
2) Honour that pledge and add a small reminder to all your emails letting your contacts know where and when they opted in to receive your emails (E-goi can do this automatically for you).
3) Send emails which are highly relevant to your audience. If they signed up to learn about X, don't keep telling them about Y or Z. Use E-goi's segmenting features to create targeted mailings.
4) Include engaging contents and short (40 chars max) subject lines which clearly identify you and drive people to open, click through and share your emails. We can't give you specific tips (it depends entirely on your business and audience type), but your contents must connect strongly enough to stand out from the inbox clutter and offer your contacts something they're really interested in and can't find anywhere else. Testing, testing and re-testing is key (our split-test features can help you with this).
5) Mail your audience often but not too much. Consistency is one of the things that tells ISPs you're a good sender, so a large-volume one-off campaign (especially to a rented or partner-traded list) may ruin your reputation! However, blasting out huge email volumes every day will also have you reported for spamming. If you need to send daily emails, segment your audience and send them small batches of targeted mailings.
6) Keep your mailing list healthy. Consider cleaning it up every few months to whittle it down to those contacts who are consistently responsive to your emails (E-goi's segmenting make this a doddle). At the same time, run a win-back "haven't-heard-from-you" campaign to salvage those non-openers who are still interested in your mailings. This is especially important if you haven't mailed the list in a long while (more than one month).
In addition to looking at how people respond to your mailings, ISPs run a couple identity checks to make sure you're a legitimate sender instead of someone just spoofing your name.
When using E-goi, we'll be sending your emails on your behalf, so you need to tell ISPs that you've granted us authorisation to do so. That's what sender authentication boils down to. E-goi already does it for you automatically, but ISPs like it even more when you do this yourself manually. Setting it up is easy (your IT staff shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes to do it); just follow our step-by-step guide.
Even after manually authenticating your sender, your emails will usually go out with one of our sending domains, which are shared across other E-goi clients. If some of those clients mess up and send a mailing which performs badly, the ISPs' temper tantrum can sometimes affect your emails as well. You can avoid this by adding our CNAME record to your own sending domain, which also gives you the nice bonus of displaying your domain in all email links instead of E-goi's (for added confidence among your audience). This is as easy to set up as sender authentication: just follow our how-to.
1) Check your Spamassassin score. This is one of the most commonly-used spam filters in the world and it'll point out anything in your email that can be mistaken for spam. You can run this test while editing your email in E-goi (we'll actually offer to run it for you prior to sending out your email).
2) Make sure both your mailing's HTML source-code and the images you're using are email-friendly and light as a feather (ISPs hate emails with trashy HTML and humongous pics). If you create your email using our Easygoi editor, you should be on the safe side, as it generates clean, standards-compliant code and auto-resizes your images. Avoid using editors such as F rontpage, Dreamweaver or any software with an "Export to HTML" option unless you really know what you're doing. E-goi will help you by checking your code for errors before your email goes out the door.
3) Temporarily change your sender. Start by simply using a different sender name and keep the same email address. Alternatively, try to use a completely different sender. If delivery is successful, your original sender may have been blacklisted for some reason. Can't find out why? Just give us a shout and we'll try to look into it for you.

Remembering when 'New Math' was front-page news
Jim Memmott
Fifty-three years ago this week, there was news aplenty in the Democrat and Chronicle.
During the first week of February 1966, the city was still digging out from an end-of-January storm that had dumped more than 2 feet of snow on the area.
The arrest of a local educator — Headline: "RIT Instructor Nabbed on Dope Count" — was leading to an investigation of possible marijuana use on local campuses.
Internationally, the war in Vietnam was heating up with reports of a successful U.S. operation.
And there, on the front pages of the newspaper for several days, was a series on "Modern Math For Puzzled Parents."
That mathematics instruction would be discussed so prominently reflected all the head-scratching that was going on in area homes as mothers and fathers tried to help — or at least not to hinder — their children's efforts to learn math in a new way.
An upbeat note from the newspaper's managing editor, Norris W. "Red" Vagg, alerted readers to the 10-part series. "Make sure that you, too, understand MODERN MATH," Vagg wrote, the uppercase his own. "The understanding will make you stand tall with your youngsters."
The next day the series began; the first installment was above the fold on the front page.
Written by Professor W. F. Lloyd of the University of Tampa in Florida, the articles, sometimes accompanied by cartoons, had first appeared in the Tampa Tribune. They were subsequently carried by more than 162 newspapers.
In a profile in the Tribune, Lloyd made clear that he was out to counter what he saw as a prejudice against mathematics that was fostered first by parents and then by teachers, some of whom even used math "as punishment."
He advocated a method of mathematics instruction that placed less emphasis on rote memorization and more on reasoning. In doing this, Lloyd was carrying the banner of a movement begun in 1955 that came to be called "New Math," though he seems to have preferred the label "Modern Math."
Improved mathematics instruction was needed, Lloyd and others argued, especially in light of the U.S.S.R.'s apparent lead in the space race.
Space race or not, the new math did not go over that well with some adults who had learned math the old way, whatever the old way was.
Enter Lloyd to the rescue. He described himself as the right man to uncomplicate modern math, as he was "used to talking in little words, in words of one syllable."
That may have been the case, but when he got to writing about modern math, Lloyd's vocabulary became a little more polysyllabic.
He broods upon the commutative law of mathematics; he discusses off-base numerals; he wraps things up with a test that seems difficult, at least to this grandfather. (Question: The set of positive integers is closed under addition. Answer: True.)
Lloyd did his best to teach by way of example, though at least one of his examples wouldn't fly today. By way of explaining set concepts, he asks readers to imagine they are watching a bathing suit competition. Sorting out the entrants, Lloyd suggests you would end up with a "set of blondes, one of redheads and another of beauties in bikinis."
As the series progressed in the Democrat and Chronicle, the installments moved off the front page. This may have indicated the press of other news, or it could have been that Lloyd's columns weren't quite living up to their promise. He saw the series as a "one-shot" effort, one that worked out well enough, though he would have added some more topics had he space or time.
New or Modern Math fell out of favor in the 1970s, though it may be back again, sparking a familiar debate. Even a brief search for "Modern Math" in YouTube finds videos that explain or debunk new ways of teaching mathematics.
Perhaps it's a mathematical law of the universe that children will always be learning math in a way that puzzles their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. The head scratching continues. The numbers don't always add up. You can count on that.
On Remarkable Rochester
Retired Senior Editor Jim Memmott reflects on what makes Rochester distinctively Rochester, its history, its habits, its people. Since 2010, he has also been compiling a list of Remarkable Rochesterians. Contact him at: (585) 278-8012 or JMEMMOTT@DemocratandChronicle.com or Remarkable Rochester, Box 274, Geneseo, NY 14454.
Remarkable Rochesterians
Let's add the name of this advocate for public housing to the list of Remarkable Rochesterians that can be found at rochester.nydatabases.com:
Helen S. Jones (1886-1946): While the president of the Rochester chapter of the League of Women Voters in 1937, she became aware of the need for improved public housing in some areas of the city. She went on to be a leader in the Citizens City Planning and Housing Council and also the Better Housing Association, advocating on behalf of needy citizens. A Rochester native and a 1907 graduate of Vassar College, she also was a key player in the movement to establish the Rundel Memorial Library building that opened in downtown Rochester in 1936.
Editor's Note: The original version of this story had an incorrect first name for Norris "Red" Vagg, a former managing editor of the Democrat and Chronicle.


Even though the end of the year brings plenty of awards season titles to the table, that doesn't mean everything else goes into hiding. There are still plenty of movies coming over the next couple months bringing chills, thrills, excitement and laughs. The release of Sony's The Girl in the Spider's Web, a reboot of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo franchise, might be a little light on the latter when it hits theaters in a couple weeks. But a new clip shows it will have plenty of suspense and action. Plus, who knows, maybe there's a chance Claire Foy could land an Oscar nomination.
Watch The Girl in the Spider's Web clip below.
In the clip, Lisbeth Salander (Claire Foy) stirs up some trouble at an airport and uses herself as a distraction in order to free Lakeieth Stanfield (Get Out) from custody. We're not sure what he's being held for or why Lisbeth Salander is breaking him out at putting herself at risk to do so, but Stanfield's line of, "You don't understand what this is, do you?" indicates that there's something much bigger in play here that Salander maybe doesn't fully understand.
Some of the early buzz that hit the web (pun intended) this week compared the action thriller to the recent James Bond offerings, and this clip very much aligns with those sentiments. It also feels a little like a Jason Bourne movie due to the visual aesthetic, albeit with significantly less shaky camera work.
Fede Alvarez, director of the Evil Dead remake and Don't Breathe, is at the helm of The Girl in the Spider's Web, and the rest of the cast features Sverrir Gudnason, Sylvia Hoeks, Stephen Merchant, Claes Bang, Christopher Convery, Synnøve Macody Lund, and Vicky Krieps.
Lisbeth Salander, the cult figure and title character of the acclaimed Millennium book series created by Stieg Larsson, will return to the screen in The Girl in the Spider's Web: A New Dragon Tattoo Story, a first-time adaptation of the recent global bestseller. Golden Globe winner Claire Foy, the star of "The Crown," will play the outcast vigilante defender under the direction of Fede Alvarez, the director of 2016's breakout thriller Don't Breathe; the screenplay adaptation is by Steven Knight and Fede Alvarez & Jay Basu.
The Girl in the Spider's Web hits theaters on November 9, 2018.
