Remember Waiting?
All the buzz around Snapchat and its decline of Facebook's $3 billion acquisition offer has caused quite a stir. But I'm not here to offer another analysis on whether it was a smart move or not. No, there are plenty of those articles written by people much smarter than I. Rather, I'm looking at the concept of the app and the demographics of the audience gobbling it up. I was reminded that Snapchat's young Millennial users have "never known life without the Internet," and thus, rarely a life with wait time. Hence the reason Snapchat – with text and photo messages that disappear in a few seconds – is so popular with this crowd. Everything is here, now. Blink – and you miss it.
I'm getting old, I know this. Because all of this news made me think about what a valuable lesson (multiple lessons, really) it was for me as a teen to learn to wait. Waiting is hard. And that's what makes it so good.
Unlike today's instant gratification, give-it-to-me now generation, my generation had to wait.
We waited for remote control TVs (my brother used to torture me if I didn't get up and turn that dial for him). We waited for real home cooked meals, prepared by parents who we had to wait for to arrive home from work (in the days when people didn't work 24/7), and we had to wait for everyone to sit down at the table before we could eat. We ate together and everyone waited – and talked – for everyone else to be finished before asking to be excused.
We had to wait to use the phone. And when we finally got our turn, we had to wait for it to dial as it went around…..and around…. and around… seven whole times before a connection was made!
We had to wait for our MTV. But it was totally worth it.
We had to wait for Casey Kasem to go through 40 whole songs to tell us every week what the Top song was. And we had to wait – two fingers on each the "record" button and the "play" button – for our favorite songs to be played so we could make a crude copy for home listening. On our boom boxes. Otherwise, we'd be waiting forever for the tapes (not the gift wrapping kind) to arrive in our local record store. Yes, I said record store. They were cool.
We had to wait to go shopping. At a store. For me, living in Wyoming as a teen, the closest mall was three hours away! No online shopping – which was probably a good thing for my folks.
We had to wait for mail. The kind that arrives in a mailbox on the street and has letters from people who wrote them. On paper. With ink.
We had to wait for photos. Yes, seriously. We took them, having no idea what they looked like and then we had to go drop them off at a store and wait, like, a whole week to get them developed. They were on this thing called film. And when we finally got them back, we couldn't crop and edit and get rid of our red eye. Tragic.
We had to wait for movies. To arrive in theaters. Where we had to wait in line to buy tickets!
We had to wait for the coolest, latest books and posters, which we ordered through Scholastic school fundraising. And the day your shipment arrived in class it was so awesome! Because we had been waiting!
And I remember the biggest "waiting" lesson of all that my parents taught me. To not rush everything – to enjoy the wait. Because half the fun is in the anticipation. Before you know it, it's over.
With instant access, gratification, delivery, results – what do today's kids wait for? Do they know the feeling of anticipation, patience and reward? And if not, how will it affect their adulthood? Do they appreciate what they have because they get everything they want on demand?
I know I struggle with this in raising my children. They have little patience and short attention spans. It amazes me sometimes how they are constantly thinking of what's next instead of enjoying what's happening now – because they don't want to wait even one minute for something they're in the middle of.
Waiting is good. Does anyone else remember this feeling?

Bait Android Series 3 Vinyl Signing with Kano, Scott Tolleson and Sket One
It's been quite busy the last month or so which has led to lack of activity here on my blog. Hopefully things will slowly start to go back to normal and I can start really playing with my camera and making posts in here again. I've been meaning to post this coverage for a while now but haven't had really any time till now. A little over a month ago, I decided to stop by Southern California's newest lifestyle boutique, Bait, located in Diamond Bar, California. Truth be told, I was actually checking it out because they were on the list to receive the Asics x Foot Patrol Gel-Saga II(which I was able to obtain a week later. Thanks again Mark!). I had no clue that the night I had stopped by, they were actually having a signing with Kano, Scott Tolleson, and Sket One for the Android Series 3 Vinyl toys. I was glad I happen to have my camera with me so I could take pictures of the event. Thanks again to Paul, Mark, Matt and the rest of the Bait staff for the hospitality and I look forward to seeing what they have in store in the sneaker/vinyl toy community.
Upon walking into Bait, I was pretty impressed with what I saw. There's not many boutiques that specialize in not only sneakers and streetwear but also in vinyl figures/toys and art. I've been away from it for a while so it was refreshing to be around it again.
Unfortunately for those who are interested, most of the toys and figures on display were a part of the owner of Bait's personal collection and are not for sale. But Paul from Bait reassured me that they would be carrying many of the upcoming vinyl figures and toys, including releases from Kid Robot.
Of course, Bait (which is affiliated with Pickyourshoes.com) will be carrying many exclusive sneakers, particularly from Asics and New Balance (I'm quite excited about this).
"Avengers assemble! (I guess you can come along Superman)"
I found this display rather cool. Suprised they went with a Wade figure instead of Lebron.
Greatest Of All Tiime (G.O.A.T.)
Not a big Futurama fan but these were pretty cool.
If you need to "swag" your kid out with some kid size Natives, Bait is your place to go.
Bait also carries many of the popular streetwear brands, including The Hundreds, UNDFTD, Obey, Huf, Benny Gold, Diamond, and many more.
I'm not particularly a fan of snapbacks (Team Fitted all the way!) but they carry that too.
The Android Series 3 vinyl toys including those done by Kano, Scott Tolleson, and Sket One who were there for the signing.
I would love to add that Mazinger Z figure to my collection.
Knowledge is power.
In the middle of the showroom, they had this gigantic Kid Robot chalkboard Dunny which they let people draw on. I was told that it, along with the Kid Robot Gallery upstairs, was there for the Kid Robot 10 year anniversary/Bait Grand Opening private party happening a week later. I was invited by the Bait staff but unfortunately wasn't able to attend.
Part of the Kid Robot Gallery upstairs.
I really regret not picking up this Air Max 95 space shuttle back in the day.
Kano and Sket One signing books and toys for their fans.
Not many boutiques have a huge tree in the middle of it.
Just as I was about to leave, I walked by the front display and noticed these Saucony Grid 9000s. I was surprised that I almost missed it.
I had never seen or heard of these before so I was thinking they were a sample made for the store, until this guy walked by me:
I would learn later that these were Bait's collaboration with Saucony known as the "Viridian Burner". I was able to pick up a pair through Bait a few days later(Thanks again Matt and Mark!). Stay tune for a blog with some pictures I took of this release.
Till next time.

The Wild Iris by Louise Glück
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I wanted to like this better than I did. 3 stars is perhaps generous. I felt I was starting to get into the rhythm of it by the second half. The first half seemed to be too heavily focused on anger, depression, and despair. I liked the structure of this, like a song cycle, revolving simultaneously through the year from winter to fall, and through the day from "matins" to "vespers." There were lines I could identify with here and there as a gardener, but over all I was unmoved by these poems. I only read the whole thing because it was quite short, and I need to make up 4 books to hit my annual goal for the year.
Description: This collection of stunningly beautiful poems encompasses the natural, human, and spiritual realms, and is bound together by the universal themes of time and mortality. With clarity and sureness of craft, Gluck's poetry questions, explores, and finally celebrates the ordeal of being alive.

Le Spoon
July 21st, 2006 | Posted by Shannon
I dreamed about Britt again! Happy Friday to ME!
I think I dreamed about him because last night I couldn't sleep because it was so hot, so I got to thinking about I might go down to Bayside where Radiohead played last month and Spoon is opening for Death Cab for Cutie next month. I guess it's an indication that I am not as in love with Britt Daniel as I was last summer, that I was possibly thinking of NOT going to next month's show. The thing is, Spoon is opening, and the tickets are expensive, and what if they only play for half an hour or something? I have been trying, HARD, to get into Death Cab for Cutie but I am finding it difficult. Though maybe they are really awesome live. Anyway, last night I was like, OF COURSE I have to go and then I have to go out to the buses and see if I can find Britt Daniel. Like, screw Death Cab for Cutie, I am just going to do some stalking. But what would I do if I actually MET him? Uh, hey Britt, can you please sign my Poptarticus T-Shirt? Yes I am THAT Poptarticus, the one who writes about stalking you. Not the Poptarticus that is on that Reality TV Message Board or the one on the Marching Band Forum or the one who likes Soccer. THEY are imposters, while I pay $9.95 a month for my name. So can you sign it?
Anyway that is probably just the kind of fool I would make of myself. And this is probably why I had the dream.
In my dream, I was at the South by Southwest Music Conference, in a giant convention hall, and Spoon played a couple of songs. Then some other stuff happened but I can't remember what, and then Britt played two songs, solo. He was right there and then Ladytron was going to play, so nobody cared about Britt anymore, they only wanted to see Ladytron. It was then I realized I wasn't wearing a shirt. Oops. Some chick from the Ladytron group gave me a Ladytron sticker and I put it on my arm. But I was really bummed because I didn't care about the sticker or Ladytron, I just wanted to see Britt.
So then I ended up in his room. Don't you LOVE dreams? I was in his hotel room, and he had nailed his own pictures over the pictures that were in there. Not pictures of himself, but pictures of other stuff. Nailed them in! Then I was sitting on this long couch next to Celeste, my best friend from high school, and Britt's parents. Thank god Britt's parents showed up because without them inviting me, I would surely have been arrested as a stalker. We were all sitting on one long couch when Britt came in and sort of just looked at us. At that point I sort of wished the parents weren't there, just to see what would happen, but then a very pretty blond girl in a sundress came in. The girlfriend, presumably. She sat down next to me. "Are you happy?" She asked. "Yes," I said. But then I said, "no, I'm not that happy. Are you happy?" She said yes. "No you aren't, we all think we are happy, but we really aren't. We just think of things to make us forget we are unhappy." She just looked at me.
So, I dreamed about him, but nothing will ever compare to the magic of that first dream, the one that I can still remember and that was almost one year ago. I went back to the conference after I left his room, and it was raining, and as I entered the hall I thought, I gotta start a label.

US Consumer Views on Food & Beverage Packaging Surveyed in New Topical Report Published at MarketPublishers.com
05 Jul 2012 • by Natalie Aster
LONDON – With beverages and food products, consumers prize convenience-oriented features, including packaging that is easy to open and close, easy to pour and serve, and easy to hold. Packaging that makes it easy to eat or drink on the go ranked further down on the list, despite the popularity of single-serve and other convenient beverage formats. Product freshness ranked high, and is especially important in milk, juices, and ground coffee. Consumers also ranked environmentally friendly packaging as fairly high in importance.
New survey report "Food and Beverage Packaging Trends in the U.S.: Consumer Viewpoints and Marketer Opportunities" elaborated by Packaged Facts provides fresh, original and actionable analysis of how key consumer trends intersect with and impact food and beverage packaging. It analyzes which packaging attributes and innovations are most valuable to consumers and most likely to influence consumer behavior.
Specific packaging formats and features mentioned in the report include: meal/salad kits, flexible pouches, stick packs, steam-in-bags, bio-based bottles, and easy/open-close in the context of market issues and priorities such as eco-consciousness, recycling, over-packaging and packaging reduction/bulk foods, natural/organic/local, healthy eating trends, product freshness, food purity and safety, on-the-go eating trends, purchasing for immediate consumption, and store brands.

5 Reasons why feedback is important to any organization
Who would dispute that feedback is a good thing? Organizations of any size can benefit from feedback. Both common sense and research conclude – feedback, whether positive or negative, and opportunities to turn that feedback in to actionable strategies helps to improve and enhance quality outputs of organizations. It also allows organizations to build and maintain direct communication across the entire organization – employees, suppliers, customers, vendors, and stakeholders.
Feedback is valuable information that can be used to make better informed business decisions. Top performing companies are top performing companies because they consistently set out ways to make their best even better. For top performing companies 'continuous improvement' is not just a showy catchphrase. It's a true focus based on feedback from across the entire organization. Top performing companies are not only good at accepting feedback, they deliberately ask for feedback – and they know that feedback is helpful only when it highlights weaknesses as well as strengths.
Here are the 5 Reasons why feedback is important:

Hospital Solutions
It is possible to decrease energy consumption by 25 % in hospitals.
Hospitals and all kinds of clinics are very crowded places where safety and hygiene are the main concerns. As a result hospitals are subjected to very strict laws and legislations. For example the temperature of the operation room should be kept constant at a certain degree or emergency room's temperature should not exceed a certain temperature.
Safety and hygiene obligations, comprehensive range of electrical devices that are used frequently brings huge energy consumptions. Main energy consumption occurs in:
- HVAC systems
- Sickrooms
- Operation rooms
- Lighting facilities
- Emergency rooms
Our Energy Solutions for Hospitals
Building automation systems and HVAC improvements should be done in a hospital not only for energy saving but also for the quality of the service that is supplied by the hospitals.
- It is possible to save energy up %25 with appropriate energy solutions
- Building automation for hospitals is very important for energy efficiency and the building management of the hospital
- Hospitals are the structures very energy is consumed in large amounts, as a result small amounts of energy savings may result in a significant decrease in operational costs.

When I was 24 I embarked on my first move, this was from my hometown Leeds to Birmingham. I needed a flat to rent….
What was it that I needed to know!? Firstly I didn't know Birmingham, I needed someone to help me, what do I look for when renting? What are the key features of a house? I didn't know to check that the property had double glazing, central heating or even a shower (sounds ridiculous). These had just existed in my family home.
I had originally gone to view the flat with my younger sister (22 at the time) so both of us were as clueless as each other. All we knew was that it was in budget and seemed like it could be quite homely. I would list all the things we didn't take notice of, but to be honest it is easier to say what we took notice of, 1. the fireplace – the electric fireplace made the place look cosy, 2, the separate kitchen, it had a nice big window overlooking some trees, and that is pretty much it! It was furnished and the furniture looked ok – although I didn't actually test anything. Could I see myself living here? Yes, sure, why not! Deposit paid without a knowledgeable adult in sight!
My dad transported me and my worldly belongings to Birmingham in the back of an estate car. I was nervous but excited too! My first house. When I unpacked I realised I had hardly anything….. luckily it was Christmas time. My family had bought me a survival kit, plates, cups, saucers, toaster, plus a lot of items which were begged, borrowed and stolen (only from family of course! I'm not a criminal).
It was only in recent years my dad actually told me his heart sank when I took him into the flat. He couldn't believe his daughter was living somewhere so shabby. He noticed the lack of double glazing, central heating, shower and the like! He also tested out the furniture.
I stayed in that house for a year, I had drips falling on my bed (and on occasion head)through the skylight window when it rained, I had to put the emersion heater on every morning so I had hot water to get a wash, I had to take a bath every morning for a year because I didn't have a shower, and all bills were electric so my electricity costs were through the roof in winter as I had no central heating. This doesn't even include the area I lived in. Generally I stayed in on an evening as I didn't want to even go to the corner shop for milk after dark!
Would I change it? Hell yes! The landlord should never have been able to get away with renting out that flat – and despite me complaining a few times (didn't want to be a burden) nothing ever got fixed. Strict laws have now been enforced for landlords, but even so, don't be like me, seek guidance on the area and thoroughly research what you need in your new home.
Use the rental checklist below – it sure would have helped me. It also highlights what you deem to be important from a property. Everyone wants something different.
- Check the local crime rating for the area. http://www.crime-statistics.co.uk/postcode/
- Visit the property during various times of the day and evening
- What local amenities are there?
- Are there any neighbourhood vigilantes
- Are there any pubs with loud music close by
- What is the parking like on the street
- What are the neighbours like
- Is the house in good condition?
- Is it secure? Gate, fence.
- Are you sharing a garden with anyone?
- Is there a garden, if so who is responsible for maintaining it.
- Are there any trip hazards outside the house? Uneven patio?
- Is there a burglar alarm? Does it work?
- Do the windows look OK from the outside?
- Does it have central heating
- Where is the thermostat?
- Do the radiators look comparable to the size of the room? Do they all work?
- Is the décor in good condition?
- Is there any sign of damp on the walls or by the windows (sometimes covered up by curtains)
- Do the windows open? Do they Lock? Are they double glazed?
- Do the taps work?
- Does the shower work?
- Are the bath / shower / sink all sealed satisfactorily
- Is there an extractor fan (Bathroom / Kitchen)
- Can the décor be changed?
- Are any wires on show, check light fittings and fixtures.
- Check where the water stop cock is, and the gas / electricity meter.
- Is there enough storage for you (and your family)
- is the furniture broken
- Make an inventory of all items, outlining any damage to anything
- All electrical appliances should be PAT tested
Additional information
- Make sure any furnishings have the correct fire safety certificate.
- There should be carbon monoxide detectors in the property
- Check for smoke alarms
- Safety blanket and extinguisher in the kitchen
- Check there is a valid gas certificate
If you are co renting with someone you have never met before then make sure you met them somewhere impartial to begin with and have an 'interview' you want to make sure that you are compatible and they are trustworthy.
This list is not exhaustive but may help you on the journey to finding your perfect home. Visit http://www.housemovingsolutions.com or email email@example.com for more information or a free consultation on your house move.

Good scientific practice at the TU Dresden
Good scientific practice includes fundamental principles such as working in accordance with the recognised rules of the discipline, documenting results in a way that is comprehensible, verifiable and complete, maintaining strict integrity with regard to the contributions of others, and observing ethical standards when carrying out surveys and studies. Scientific misconduct is deemed to have occurred if, for example, data is falsified, intellectual property is violated or the research activity of others is sabotaged.
All members and employees of TU Dresden are obliged to observe the Guidelines for Safeguarding Good Scientific Practice, for Avoiding Scientific Misconduct and for Dealing with Violations as the basis of their scientific work and to contribute actively to avoiding scientific misconduct within their sphere of responsibility. All reasonable grounds for suspecting scientific misconduct within TU Dresden will be investigated with the greatest diligence, while respecting the rights of those involved. If the suspicion is confirmed, measures appropriate to the individual case will be taken.
The Research Ombudsman (appointed by the DFG) was established in accordance with a recommendation by the Commission on Professional Self-regulation in Science, and sees itself as an institution for advice and mediation. This body of volunteers is directly available to all scientists, regardless of any involvement of the DFG, to provide advice and support on questions of good scientific practice and its possible violations through scientific dishonesty. In particular, this applies to the advising of persons who have reported possible scientific misconduct (whistleblowers) and who, as a consequence, are subjected to sanctions from other institutions.
At TU Dresden, too, an ombudsperson has been established on the basis of the above-mentioned guidelines. He or she is contact person, advisor and mediator in all cases of suspected scientific misconduct. If the ombudsperson considers there to be a reasonable suspicion of scientific misconduct, this will be reviewed by the investigation committee or – in cases in which the suspected misconduct affects graduation (doctoral degrees and habilitations) – by the regular examination board specified by the respective examination and graduate regulations.
Vertrauensperson (Ombudsperson)Name
Mr Prof. Dr. Achim Mehlhorn
Alemannenstr. 15
01309 Dresden
Ms Prof. Dr. Christina Dornack
The faculties have ombudspersons for matters relating to junior scientists. These ombudspersons are intended to act as easily accessible contacts for junior scientists (in particular, doctoral candidates) and also to mediate in problematic situations.
The investigating body for dealing with scientific misconduct supports the work of the ombudsperson, the investigation committee and the regular examination boards in cases of suspected scientific misconduct. This includes using plagiarism-detecting software to check theses for plagiarism.

Today is a public holiday in Launceston so I decided I would spend my Monday morning relaxing with Frank! I used their Original Introudction Bundle which includes: Original Coffee Scrub & the Body Balm. The idea of this bundle is to scrub & then rub!
Franks Orginal Coffee Scrub is a special blend of all natural ingredients. Roasted & ground robusta coffee beans to stimulate blood flow targeting stretch marks, cellulite, scaring and skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Cold pressed almond oil which promotes skin healing while hydrating and nourishing the skin and sea salt which reduces inflammation and targets skin conditions. As well as treating wounds, it removes dry, flaky skin!
- Get naked and shower.
- Get dirty and cover your body (I used 2 large handfuls).
- Get rough and massage the scrub into your body (leave for 5-10 mins).
- Get clean with a rinse.
Frank coffee scrub makes your skin feel amazing and silky smooth! It gives your skin hydration and leaves you with a beautiful glow. It is hands down my favourite coffee scrub to date and if you are a fake tan addict like myself it is perfect for tan prep! Scrub the day before you tan and you will get a perfect application! I used 2 large handfuls of the scrub for my entire body and have plenty of product left so it is good value for money.
Orginal Body Balm
Franks Body Balm will hydrate and nourish your skin long after you have scrubbed! It also smells delicious and spreads over your body like butter. This body balm works really well for dry skin, stretch marks and eczema as well and can be massaged daily onto problemed areas.
Key ingredients; Coconut Oil, Grape Seed & Almond Oil, Coffee Arabica Seed Oil & Beeswax.
This body balm is the richest and most nourishing body balm I have ever used! Please note a little goes a very long way. I applied a small amount to my entire body, the body balm may feel a little oily a first but just massage gently into your skin and you will be in love with the results. My skin literally felt as soft as a babies bottom hehe.
I am obsessed with the combo of the coffee scrub & body balm and can't wait to treat my body to another pamper time. My skin has honestly never looked and felt this good before! I recommend checking out the Orginal Introuduction Bundle it costs $37.95 and you will get plenty of use, so is great value for money. As I mentioned earlier if you are a fake tan lover defiantly check out the body scrub to help prep!
Have a great week and thank you so much for reading!

It's something I hear/think/wonder about on an almost daily basis. I've now lived in Sydney for almost a year, working within a digital agency that also belongs to a much larger global media agency. On that basis, I think I'm gradually starting to figure out some of the finer details on the much-discussed 'Australian technology lag'.
TL;DR – yes I would safely say that Australia is currently lagging behind much of the rest of the strong world economies when it comes to all things digital. Almost all areas of the digital economy, from broadband household penetration and speeds to ecommerce infrastructure, are a far cry from the American or European brethren. Even ASOS, a company which prides itself on being ahead of the curve, can offer free shipping to a client but can't work around the Australian postal system to offer free returns. And let's not talk about the complete lack of Amazon (for now). How, in a country that is so buoyant (admittedly thanks to the far more manual and physical reality of the mining boom) can the digital horizon be struggling still in 2013?
My thoughts on the matter are entirely personal, in no way scientific, and 100% subjective but here's what I see from where I'm standing.
1. The Australian economy is generally risk averse
I say this as a migrant and also a pleb on the street so apologies for any potential offense taken. My general impression is that Australia likes to see others fail then pick up the pieces that do work some time later. The NBN (National Broadband Network) project has been a constant source of contention between government and residents, rolling out over a number of years with what feels like a very opaque strategy. Much discussed but little implemented, the government seems to determined to get it 'just right' before jumping in. When technology is implemented, it is done so very well and actually better than some of the technology I've used in the UK but it is done so after it's been tried and tested elsewhere. Take the Chip & Pin system for example. I grew up with it in France, it was implemented in the UK in the early noughties but didn't reach Australia until the end of the decade. However now it's in place, it's accepted unfailingly in every shop, with super speedy internet banking to boot. It's not done fast but it does usually seem to be done right. That's great when it eventually makes it here, but is it a sign of a forward thinking economy? Apparently I'm not the only one to have this thought, a local interview with a Mr George Kazangi, MD of a business which hosts business and web applications saw this quote:
"I think it's holding us back from the rest of the world because that conservative view doesn't drive research and development and it doesn't drive technology investment, which is really holding us back from becoming an IT powerhouse," Mr Kazangi said.
2. Infrastructure is no small barrier to implementation
Australia is the same size as Mainland USA and 24 times the size of Britain, with the five state capitals (and economic centres) spread far across the country. The economy is dependent on its Asian neighbours, with China its biggest trading partner and over 4,500 miles (7,500 km) away. What is difficult in the USA carries a whole new meaning of complex on this continent. Tests can be carried out at state level but how to get the full backing of a national government when it is not possible to roll that plan out nationally with the same effect. Basics such as e-commerce shipping & returns are no mean feat and need to be approached with a delicate touch in order to ensure effective roll-out. Having been working with a number of e-commerce clients over the last few months, I've learned a lot about the challenges they face to deliver an equal service throughout the nation, and it's not to be under estimated.
3. The digital market is suffering from a severe skills shortage
I'm a shining example of that, along with many other immigrant workers across the digital industry in Australia. Being such a large island, with so much to plan out within the digital market, getting the right people with the right skills from within the Australian population is clearly proving a huge challenge. The 457 visa programme (the most popular temporary business visa used by skilled migrants) has recently undergone a crackdown by the government in order to ensure the system is not being abused to bring in cheaper overseas workers (particularly to perform junior IT roles). However the digital media market is a different landscape. From personal experience over the last year, even relatively junior staff with perhaps 1-2 years of experience are extremely difficult to find, especially across digital and search marketing. Perhaps the 'wait until it's perfect' approach the government seems to have taken has been detrimental in more ways than one to Australia's foray into new digital realms, undermining the importance of digital as a strong career path and forcing a continued reliance on overseas workers. This was again highlighted in a survey by E-Consultancy last year, where 25% of Australian marketers say digital knowledge is poor.
4. Although there is a lag, Australia's digital advancement is rapidly growing
Out of all the negative press that Australia (sometimes deservedly) gets, I do also have a personal view that this country is no fool and it's not sitting on its laurels. Large household brands are really pushing their digital strategies forward at a rapid rate, moving from being almost entirely bricks & mortar to embracing digital media channels and e-commerce across desktop, tablet, mobile, apps and interactive cross-channel devices at the same time (the recent Tourism Australia campaign is a great example of this). The government, although never likely to act in a perfectly harmonious manner, are certainly agreed that Australia needs to make its mark as a world economy – and the digital industry is a huge part of that. This is reflected also in a survey of Australian businesses undertaken last year, where 25% of those surveyed (approximately 41% aggregate of Australian businesses) suggested they would actually put 100% of their budget towards digital marketing due to its higher ROI compared to more traditional media (this is slightly higher than Asian counterparts). Strewth, the race isn't over yet!

Dawes debut music video for 'Living in the Future,' first single from upcoming 'Passwords'
The new music video comes on the heels of the first previewed single of the album, 'Crack the Case'. Dawes' sixth studio LP 'Passwords' is due out on June 22
Los Angeles folk-rockers Dawes have launched their new music video for the song 'Living In The Future,' the lead single from their upcoming sixth studio album 'Passwords'.
The video was directed by Grant James (Father John Misty, Tedeschi Trucks Band), who reveals: "The concept of 'Living in the Future' revolves around Dawes having their performance holographically captured for posterity. The result is a perfect mix of analog and digital that not only taps into the theme of the song, but fully represents who the band is."
Dawes also premiered 'Crack The Case,' another new song from Passwords earlier this month, via Consequence of Sound, who call the song a "'70s-era folk-rock soother."
Dawes' lead singer and songwriter, Taylor Goldsmith, provided a behind-the-scenes look at the making and influences behind the song in an interview with CoS: "'Crack The Case' was more or less the first song I completed for Passwords. The song made it clear to me what I wanted to talk about and how I wanted to say it, but beyond that I found it bringing me back to writing styles and lyrical approaches that I hadn't explored for a few records."
As we reported earlier, 'Passwords' will be the group's sixth studio album and the fourth on their own HUB Records. It is for and about the modern age: the relationships that fill it, the politics that divide it, and the small victories and big losses that give it shape.
"We're living in such a unique moment in history," says Goldsmith, "Many of these songs are an attempt to come to terms with the modern world, while always trying to consider both sides of the story."
For 'Passwords', Dawes was reunited with Jonathan Wilson, who produced the band's first two albums.
"Part of the DNA of Dawes was shaped by Jonathan," Goldsmith says. "Those first two Dawes records have a certain essence to them. We were figuring out who we were. When it came time to produce our sixth album, why not go back to the guy who started it all with us?" Wilson adds: "I wanted to record them live and capture that magic that you can only get recording a real [email protected]*king band, that lives together and breathes together as a unit. There aren't too many of those left, but I think we captured it."
In August, Dawes will join Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra on their first North American tour in over 30 years, and open for the band in cities including Oakland, Denver, Dallas, as well as two shows at NYC's Madison Square Garden and two shows at LA's The Forum. Check out Dawes' complete tour schedule here.
'Passwords' is scheduled for a June 22 release via HUB Records. Also find the tracklisting and the album art for the new album below:

How to Calculate Disposable Earnings in Oklahoma
Disposable income is a portion of an employee's pay that is used to determine the amount that is subject to wage garnishment or child support withholding. Oklahoma is one of the many states that allow creditors to garnish debtors' wages. Oklahoma follows federal law that limits the amount an employer can withhold to no more than 25 percent of the debtor's disposable income for ordinary wage garnishments and up to 50 or 60 percent for child support. When calculating disposable income, consider federal and state requirements.
Calculate the employee's gross income for the pay period. This includes regular and overtime earnings, salary, commissions, bonus and severance pay.
Subtract federal income tax by applying the Circular E tax-withholding table that matches the filing status and allowances the employee claims on lines 3 and 5 of her W-4 form and her pay frequency and gross wages.
Deduct Social Security tax at 4.2 percent of the employee's gross wages up to $106,800 for the year and Medicare tax at 1.45 percent of all of the employee's gross wages, as of August 2011.
Subtract Oklahoma income tax by applying the state income tax-withholding table that matches the filing status and allowances the employee claims on his W-4, plus his gross wages and pay frequency. His disposable earnings are the result; this number is subject to garnishment.
- Do not subtract voluntary deductions, such as health and retirement benefits, from gross pay when determining disposable earnings.

How Beyoncé Manages Her Money
Beyoncé is well known for being a global superstar and musical talent, but she is also a very savvy businesswoman with a very smart approach to managing her personal finances.
Here are 5 money lessons we can learn from Beyoncé
1. Take Control
For Beyoncé, she learned to take control at a very young age. Whether it was writing songs or managing her business interests or deciding what to do with her money, Beyoncé manages everything with a very tight strategy.
"You know, when I was writing the Destiny's Child songs, it was a big thing to be that young and taking control. And the label at the time didn't know that we were going to be that successful, so they gave us all control. And I got used to it. It is my goal in life to be that example."
2. Take Financial Literacy Seriously
When it comes to personal finances, Beyoncé is very thoughtful when it comes to investing her money. She believes in the importance of creating your own wealth, and has even partnered with several financial literacy campaigns.
Learning basic concepts such as maintaining a credit score, sticking to a budget, and good savings practices can make a big difference in your personal finances.
3. Work Toward Financial Independence
Beyoncé has always made a point to other women that they should not rely on a partner for financial support or self-worth. On "Independent Women," she sings about how empowering it is to be financially independent and how fulfilling it can be when you create your own wealth. The first step towards financial independence is financial literacy, and once you have the basics down, you can start managing your income like a pro.
4. Diversify
Beyoncé handles her money through multiple income streams. While the bulk of her income comes from selling music and touring, she is also an entrepreneur with her own fashion lines and endorsements. Having multiple income streams is key to creating wealth, because it gives you extra security. By spreading your risk across different income streams, you also set yourself up to be able to take advantage of great opportunities when they arise.
5. Be Positive
Beyoncé has always strived to be an example to people across the world, and always stresses taking control of your own life. Positive thinking can help build your confidence in your ability to manage money well. It can even urge you to create better money habits now.
Managing Money as a Billion-Dollar Couple
Jay-Z is just as business-savvy when it comes to finances. Together, Beyoncé and Jay-Z are worth an estimated $1.255 billion, and have both built their wealth through various means. When it comes to investments, they both explore several ways in which they can invest to keep their money diversified.
Making Savvy Investment Choices
While Beyoncé has major endorsement deals with brand names, collaborations with clothing lines, as well as owning several properties, Jay-Z is just as smart when finding ways to put his money to use. Jay-Z is known to not being afraid of partnering with major corporations, and often opts for valuable underdogs. In 2003, instead of partnering with Nike, Jay-Z instead chose a four-year partnership with Reebok. With sneakers priced at $150 each, Reebok sold about 10,000 pairs just an hour after its release.
Similarly, he invested $1 million into the NBA Nets team, rather than the Knicks, and moved the team to his hometown in Brooklyn. When he sold his stake nearly a decade later, Jay-Z was able to profit 135%.
This business focus highlights that popular and go-to investment choices are not the only investments that are worthy or looking into. Needless to say, they both are examples of carefully thought out financial planning, especially when it comes to deciding what to invest in.
Their Philosophy on Spending
On their song "Boss," Beyoncé sings "My great-great-great grandchildren are already rich," and describes their mentality on finances well. Rather than spending a summer on vacation, the pair decided to embark on another stadium tour, On The Run II, which ended up grossing $250 million in profit. As a couple, Beyoncé and Jay-Z are smart about their spending and always emphasize the importance of continuing to work hard in order to keep growing their wealth.
How Can You Begin Investing Like Beyonce?
- Get into a wealth building mindset and control your money. Start with evaluating your budget.
- If you are already out of debt, you have an emergency fund and are ready to start investing — start by learning about index funds, which are a popular and easy way to start investing.

A neighbourly concern for youngsters who go to school hungry, has moved a Kolomotu'a family to provide free breakfasts for over 100 children at their local school twice a week. "I believe that in most communities there are children who go to school without breakfast and the same children may not have food for lunch," said Dr Taniela Palu, whose family has started the programme.

Copyright group Creative Commons targets web users
- Published
A campaign has been launched to help people avoid breaking the law when they post pictures, music and videos online.
Copyright group Creative Commons has published a guide to identifying material that can be used freely without getting sued.
It is also advises individuals how to protect content they have made themselves.
Some legal experts say that the system is a stop-gap measure and want to see copyright laws radically reformed.
Around 500 million pieces of work are currently covered by Creative Commons.
The free-to-use legal licenses add a range of protections to content.
At one end of the scale, a rights holder can choose to share their property with anyone, and let them do what they like with it.
Stricter versions of the licences protect material from being manipulated or used for commercial purposes.
Creative Commons' chief of staff, Lisa Green said that the campaign was partly aimed at combating the myth that it supported "giving everything away for free".
"Rather than giving away, mostly we talk about enabling legal sharing and enabling remix," she told BBC News.
Photographer Jonathan Worth explained that Creative Commons allowed him to sell his work for commercial use while still giving it free to individuals who wanted it for other reasons.
"It is very empowering because I can allow the 14-year-old blogger who has got a fan site for Casey Affleck or Heath Ledger to use the images and she becomes someone that promotes my work.
"She is never going to pay me. She is time rich and cash poor. If I don't allow her to use the images then she is going to find a way to use them anyway," said Mr Worth.
Without such licensing, the young blogger would technically be in breach of copyright law.
Creative Commons licensing terms can be "mixed and matched" to suit the rights holder. Jonathan Worth, for example, uses Attribution + Non-commercial + share alike, meaning he must be named as the creator, the image cannot be used in a commercial venture and it can be shared under the same terms.
Legal changes
While many legal observers have praised the efforts of Creative Commons to make copyright more accessible, they point out that the system is not without its flaws.
"Non-commercial is a good idea in principle, but it is incredibly difficult to define," said Dr David Berry, senior lecturer in digital media at Swansea University.
"When you think of someone putting music onto their blog, often there is lots of embedded advertising. It might only make a few pennies, but that is technically commercial."
Creative Commons has also been criticised as a system which masquerades as creating a common pool of content, while leaving individual rights holders the ability to alter the terms of sharing at will.
Copyright specialist Iain Connor from law firm Pinsent Masons said that any attempt to raise awareness of terms of use was a good thing.
"The general public has no knowledge of copyright. This will probably assist everybody in the creative industry," he said.
However, he added that there remained a need to re-examine all current copyright laws to make them fit for the internet age.
Mr Connor pointed out that the UK lacks an equivalent to the United States' concept of fair use, where individuals enjoy limited legal protection when re-using other people's work.
The recent Hargreaves Review of the UK's intellectual properties laws rejected the idea of replicating the US system.
Without such safeguards, say the proponents of Creative Commons, it is even more important that ordinary web users know where they can find content with easy to understand terms of use.

Lawns look good if these properties are well-maintained and carefully manicured regularly. But when these properties are taken for granted, and then lawns are expected to give the front yard of your home a horrible look. Weeds take control of the lawn and unwanted grass take residence in the area as well. If you are the type of person who puts a premium to properties like these, then surely this kind of situation is un-imaginable. Now there are many ways in order to reclaim the lost glory of that lawn. One way is through the use of a reliable lawn mower. Lawn mowers are available in the market and these devices are just the right help that you need in order to bring back the lost beauty of that once-well maintained lawn of your family. The lawn implements like this that you can find in the market are available in many types, sizes and for different applications. One such type of mower that can be helpful is the mulching lawn mower.
This type of lawn mower is just one of the many types of lawn mower that can be used in the garden. But where is this type of lawn mower used and what are the uses of this kind of lawn mower? If you love lawns, then check what this equipment can offer. This is the perfect mower that you need when mulching is needed in a particular lawn. Mulching is that process when the blade of the mower is crafted and designed to cut and the re-cut these grass leaves and clippings into much smaller pieces. Then these leaves are then left in the area to decompose.
This type of technique is very much recommended since this can reduce the need for more fertilizer, since the decomposing grass are used as the fertilizer. The grass that remains in the lawn usually contain nitrogen and this nitrogen is the one that helps fertilize the lawn. This is the reason why a mulching lawn mower is so popular and much popular for the environmentalists out there. And this is what makes the mulching lawn mower very different if compared with the ordinary ones.
The ordinary mowers that are used in homes often just collect the grass in the box that is attached to the mower. The grass that has been collected is then disposed on the heap or dumped in a can to be taken to the nearest landfill. But with the help of the mulching lawn mower, grass remains in the lawn.
As mentioned the mulching lawn mower also offers free organic lawn fertilizer for the lawn. The decomposing grass clippings serve as a fertilizing agent since these clippings produce Nitrogen that can be used by the leaves for their growth. Nitrogen is essential; when a garden or a lawn is deficient in Nitrogen, then the lawn will be prone to a number of lawn diseases. If a mulching lawn mower is used instead of the usual mower, then there is no need to rake the extra clippings of grasses that remain in the lawn.

My wife, Helen, and I celebrated our status as new Arizona residents by taking a 5-day, 1,300-mile mini vacation in order to feast ourselves on some of Mother Nature's most scenic southwest canyons, buttes, mesas, monoliths, rocks and monuments without going to the Grand Canyon or Sedona.
We started our journey on Sunday, June 13, and headed for Globe, a mining town so named because of a globe-shaped piece of almost pure silver found in the area in 1870. Several miles later, we were treated to a 30-minute drive through picturesque, 2,000-feet-deep Salt River Canyon. Here the colorful sedimentary rock layers are visible from the road for miles.
Then it was on to Show Low, elevation 6,500 feet, where Tucson Desert Rats like we've just become can escape the summer heat. Here you can bask under 100-foot-tall pine trees or fish for feisty trout in the pristine streams in the area, but this was not our destination for the day.
Our goal was the southern entrance—Rainbow Forest—of Petrified Forest National Park. And words can not describe the thrill of seeing so many brilliantly colored, petrified logs strewn over this first stop of what is a 93,533 acre park.
About 225 million years ago, these logs we could touch and see close up were giant trees clinging to an eroding riverbank before falling into a fast-moving stream that carried them to wet, swampy lowlands. They were finally submerged in water and buried under volcanic ash sediments rich in silica before time and Nature's handiwork did its magic. Silica replaced the wood until the logs were virtually turned into stone, with iron oxide and other minerals staining the silica to produce rainbow colors.
We spent two hours exploring Agate Bridge, Giant Logs, Jasper Forest, and the Tepees, just four stops in the Park before seamlessly entering the Painted Desert, an area of badlands saturated with hauntingly seductive hues of pink, purple, red, beige and white. Here the soft, top layer of desert earth is thoroughly eroded from mineralized water flows and mineral deposits which create a surreal landscape.
Then it was a short drive on historic highway 66 to Winslow, Arizona – the city and corner made famous by the Eagles song, "Take It Easy."
Here we spent the night at a Mary Colter designed Hotel, La Posada, and we enjoyed a delightful Rick-Bayless-like dinner experience in the Turquoise Room. The hotel was constructed in 1929 in the style of an 1869 Spanish hacienda and built to entice railroad travelers to discover the virtues of rural northern Arizona. It features stone floors, glass murals, spacious-well-designed outdoor gardens and feel-good, primitive Mexican art painted freehand directly on the stucco walls. We stayed in the Frank Sinatra room, although we limited our conversation as the walls were pretty darn thin. I won't repeat what Helen said she heard from the young married couple renting the room next to ours.
Our breakfast at the Turquoise Room was one of the best we've ever had, although a bit pricey. And it served us well on our short drive to Meteor Crater. It wasn't a stop we planned for, but we were told too many times not to miss it, so we decided to squeeze it in. And it made the highlight list on this mini vacation.
Over 50,000 years ago, a meteor estimated to be 150 feet across and weighing several hundred thousand tons slammed into this area less than thirty miles from Winslow with such force—26,000 miles per hour—it created a crater 700 feet deep and 4,000 feet across. While time and matter has filled in half of the original crater, it's still an impressive awe-inspiring hole. And the large-screen theater presentation of "Collision and Impacts" is an eye opener to how vulnerable our earth is to meteors and asteroids—the most likely cause for the extinction of the dinosaurs.
With this awe experience to occupy us, we drove to Canyon de Chelly (da Shay) National Monument. We had been there before, taken onto the Canyon floor in open-air trucks by Navaho guides, but we wanted to explore this unique, mystical area on our own. Located on a Navaho Reservation 3 miles east of Chinle, it covers 83,849 acres. And while the 26-mile-long Canyon with its well-weathered red sandstone 1,000-foot walls and ominous Spider Rock is unlike any we've ever seen. The fact that you can explore and see up close the abandoned homes and pictographs on the Canyon walls of Indian civilizations as far back as 2500 B.C. make this a special place. We stayed at the Thunderbird Lodge, although I'd opt for more modern accommodations on our next visit.
During our stay, we had the pleasure of seeing two large jack rabbits with their Bugs Bunny ears and long back legs. And, we had to wait several delightful minutes stopped on a major two-lane highway as we watched three dogs herd a flock of 30 sheep across the road. This happened as we exited Chinle early in the morning. One dog led the flock and two dogs held up the rear with no human help. It was quite a sight.
Our next stop was Bluff, Utah with some of the most unusual buttes and mesas along the way. Bluff lies in the shadow of the Navaho Twins, two massive sandstone turrets towering over the valley of the San Juan River. And if you should want to play Blind Man's Bluff, this is not the area to do it. The impressive display of large rocks of all shapes and sizes everywhere would make for a very unstable environment if you were unable to see.
I would like to digress a bit as Helen and I got into a pretty giddy mood while we were in Bluff. She started it by telling me that she thought it would be pretty good stuff if I would "go in the buff in Bluff." I responded by saying that I had "a nuff of that guff in Bluff" and "could be a bit gruff if I had to go in the buff." And for about ten minutes we entertained ourselves with the endless possibilities of rhyming "Bluff." Oh well, I guess that's what happy old people can do to entertain themselves from time to time.
On a more serious note, if you want to begin a journey to see and explore the crème de le crème of giant rock monoliths, bright red sandstone buttes and mesas, you must start the journey from Bluff and head south on highway 163.
You will know you are someplace special, unlike anything or anywhere you have ever been, as you drive to Mexican Hat. This is truly magical southwest landscape. Interestingly, people stop along the way, but a camera cannot capture what their eyes and senses see and feel.
As you slowly work your way to Monument Valley you are awestruck. You have seen this scenery on the big screen before and your mind's eye will see John Wayne riding a stage coach around the rugged, red rock monoliths that jut high up into the blue, big blue sky around you.
Monument Valley Navaho Tribal Park is the ultimate icon for the great southwest, covering several thousand square miles within the Navaho Indian Reservation. The Park contains Mystery Valley, where isolated monoliths of red sandstone tower as much as 1,000 feet above the valley floor. Anywhere you stop to walk on this hallowed ground of ever moving sand dunes is a spiritual experience. Some feel the power and majesty of God or gods in their presence. I personally was energized from a healthy high.
We stopped several times, got out of the car, and inhaled the dry, clean, invigorating, high-desert air, pinching ourselves to be so fortunate to be here in this hauntingly beautiful place. On our drive out of Monument Valley, we were treated to constant, eye-popping changes in the landscape around us while we were driving to our next destination – Page, Arizona – and the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Our plan was to stay two nights at the Lake Powell Resort's Wahweap Lodge and Marina. But before arriving there, we passed in front of impressive Glen Canyon Dam—a dam that helps create more shoreline for its Lake Powell than the combined states of California, Oregon, and Washington.
Words cannot describe the post-card views from the Lodge of this gerrymandered, massive blue-green reservoir with an endless variety of shadowy yellow-white buttes and mesas guarding the shoreline of Lake Powell. Quite a sight!
We had confirmed reservations for a 6-hour boat ride early the next day to Rainbow Bridge and a 3-hour dinner cruise on Lake Powell. This was per the advice of our Ridge Four neighbors, Dan & Kathy Foster. But for now, it was time for a gourmet lunch and a glass or two of good wine. (No alcohol can be sold or served on an Indian Reservation, and we were wineless for 36 hours.) And, we treated ourselves to a two-hour nap before exploring the area around the Lodge.
The weather changed during the night, and on the morning of our first boat ride it was hot and muggy. However, we were able to find seats on the top deck of the boat, which also gave us a birds-eye view of key landmarks on our journey to Rainbow Bridge. An informative, professional narration of the history and geology of the area made the two-plus hour ride go by quickly. The last thirty minutes was negotiated through a scenic hard rock fjord. When we finally docked, the captain told us how to approach the massive, largest-of-its-kind-in-the-whole-wide-world sandstone bridge, which he explained was on a well-marked, one-mile trail.
As we started our hike, nothing in the surrounding landscape suggested the kind of phenomenon we were about to encounter. A quarter-mile into the zigzag walk, we saw the edge of Rainbow Bridge. And then it was gone. However, we kept moving forward. When we did seize our first full view of the natural bridge, it took my breath away.
I was not prepared for the powerful feelings, a spiritual awareness if you will, that engulfed me. While it's probably not the best way to compare, it was a feeling similar to when our kids, Keith and Kim, were born. I was energized, alive, alert, and grateful—a very special time in my life!
We enjoyed our dinner cruise on a very elegant yacht, and our hostess made us feel like royalty. Wine was extra and not too expensive. My salmon dinner was good, although Helen's meat entrée was over-cooked. But it was definitely a memorable, romantic evening in a drop-dead gorgeous setting.
On Thursday, June 18, the fifth day of our mini vacation, we drove from Page to Flagstaff—a very scenic drive, stopped to shop at the Phoenix Ikea, and arrived home in Tucson at 1:00 pm.

Ischaemic, bleeding risk trade-off different in Asians vs non-Asians
The trade-off between the risk of ischaemic vs bleeding events may be different between Asian and non-Asian patients, which warrants careful consideration when deciding on the duration of antiplatelet therapy following a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), according to a presentation at ESC Asia Congress 2019.
As there is a high proportion of cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients with comorbid diabetes in Asia, one question that stood out was: Does diabetes matter in all-comer PCI in Asians?
Putting the latest ESC guidelines on CVD in diabetes into Asian perspective, Dr Park Kyung Woo from the Seoul National University Hospital in Seoul, South Korea highlighted that having diabetes was associated with worse outcomes even with second generation drug-eluting stents (DES) in East Asian patients enrolled in the prospective EXCELLENT and RESOLUTE-Korea* registries. [JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2014;7:471-481]
Compared with patients without diabetes, their diabetic counterparts who were undergoing PCI had a significantly higher incidence of target lesion failure (p=0.007) and patient-oriented composite events of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, and any revascularization (p=0.001).
"Diabetes is still a significant predictor of adverse events even in the era of newer generation DES after revascularization," said Park.
Then, do we prolonged DAPT in all diabetic patients? To this, Park answered "No."
"Just because diabetic patients have an increased risk of MACE** doesn't mean that we should prolong DAPT*** after PCI as these patients also have increased risk of bleeding," noted Park.
In a meta-analysis using data pooled from six DAPT randomized controlled trials (RCTs), long-term DAPT did not lower the risk of MACE, but instead, increased the risk of bleeding compared with short-term DAPT in patients following PCI. [BMJ 2016;355:i5483]
When the patients were stratified by diabetes status, the increase in bleeding risk with long-term DAPT was significant in the subgroup with diabetes (hazard ratio [HR], 1.89; p=0.02), although it was not statistically significant in patients without diabetes (hazard ratio [HR], 1.43; p=0.08). [BMJ 2016;355:i5483]
Furthermore, East Asians appeared to have a different relative trade-off between ischaemic and bleeding risk — with a higher bleeding risk but a lower ischaemic risk — than their non-East Asian counterparts. In this case, prolonged DAPT might not only have no effect in reducing ischaemic risk among East Asians, it could increase the risk of bleeding, said Park.
Based on another meta-analysis of seven RCTs comparing short- vs long-term DAPT, prolonged DAPT after PCI more than doubled the risk of major bleeding among East Asians (HR, 2.843; p=0.002), but not in non-East Asians (HR, 1.375; p=0.523). [Thromb Haemost 2019;119:149-162]
"[This suggests that] the race or ethnicity factor may need to be taken into account when deciding on the duration of DAPT in patients undergoing PCI," advised Park.
Explaining on the possible reasons behind the differences in response to antiplatelet therapy between Westerners and East Asians, Park said this may be due to the different genetics of drug metabolism, patient BMI and volume of distribution, and relative trade-off between ischaemia and bleeding in Asian vs non-Asian patients.

Never thought 'Behti hawa..' will fetch me national award: Kirkire
Mumbai, Sep 15 : Lyricist Swanand Kirkire says when he was writing the song "Behti hawan sa ha" he never imagined that it will one day fetch him a national award.
"When I was writing the song, I never thought that it will get me a national award," Kirkire, who wrote the song for "3 Idiots", told IANS.
"But that's with every song. When you are writing it, you don't have awards on your mind. Your main focus is that it should suit the film and be liked by people. At that time the best thing is the song becomes a hit and people appreciate it.
"But now when I have got the award, I'm feeling very nice. My phone is constantly ringing and so many congratulatory messages are pouring in. It's a great feeling," he added.
Starring Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, Kareena Kapoor, Sharman Joshi and Omi Vaidya, "3 Idiots" was a film on the education system and all the songs were written by Kirkire and composed by Shantanu Moitra.
The film was directed by Rajkumar Hirani and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Reliance Big Pictures had distributed the film that earned over Rs.450 crore.
Kirkire, who won a national award in 2007 for the song "Bande mein tha dum" for "Lage Raho Munna Bhai", thanked the "3 Idiots" team.
"I would definitely want to thank Rajkumar Hirani, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Aamir Khan. And also Shantanu Moitra, who did such an awesome job with the composition of this song," expressed the lyricist.
When asked what importance awards carry in his life, Kirkire said a national award makes a big difference in an artist's career.
"I'm not sure about other awards but a national award is important to me because it's a state honour that the country bestows on you. It is a great moment when the president gives you the award," he said.
