Hold on tightly to your smartphone - along with carrying highly identifiable personal information, it is about to replace your credit cards and become a primary method of payment... that is, if you haven't already had a smart chip installed in your wrist.
According to next-generation payment device maker Dynamics Inc., credit cards are set to get very smart in the next few years.
The company revealed its next-generation payment device in a card form factor at the FinovateFall 2010 conference in Manhattan on October 5. Called Redemption, the card "allows consumers to pay at the point of sale with credit or request to redeem their reward points or cash rewards toward the purchase of any item at any merchant."
"The face of the device is printed with a single credit account number and includes two buttons with associated light sources. A user can choose whether to use points or use credit at the point of sale by pressing the appropriate button. The card will then visually indicate the selection by turning ON the light source associated with the selected option," explained Dynamics.
Citibank in the US is currently trialing the card with selected clients and expects to expand the trial to additional US credit card customers in November.
While innovative companies are trialing new forms of credit card technologies, the mobile industry is in hot pursuit, developing new, more secure ways for you to bank with your mobile phone.
Technology blog Fast Company says that while consumers try to get their heads around the new intelligent piece of plastic that carries access to their life savings, the technology will be replaced by smartphones.
According to the blog both Apple and Nokia have been patenting in-phone RFID technologies.
RFID (radio-frequency identification) is a near-field communication tool that lets users transfer funds or information by swiping their device (such as a mobile phone) over an RFID reader.
"It seems increasingly certain Apple is going to bring RFID into common usage with the iPhone for 2011 (the iPhone 5) because there's a new patent that shows just how far Apple has gone with design thinking for RFID," writes Fast Company.
"The patent shows how an RFID loop, powerful enough to act as both RFID tag or a tag-reader, can actually be built right into the complex layered circuitry of the iPhone (or iPod Touch) screen."
Meanwhile, people still signing their fortunes away on paper (checks), will be brought into the future with a new mobile application feature released by PayPal on October 5. The iPhone application lets users take a photo of a check and deposits the money into their account.

Nearly half of the public still blame Labour for the state of the UK economy, a new poll shows, in a bitter blow to Ed Miliband.
An Opinium/Observer poll finds that after three years of the coalition fewer than one in three blame the Tories and Liberal Democrats for the lack of economic growth.
Of those questioned, 46% say Labour is most responsible, with just 15% believing that the fault lies elsewhere than Britain's political classes.
The proportion who would trust David Cameron and George Osborne above others stands at 28%. In contrast 21% would trust Miliband and his shadow chancellor Ed Balls. Just 6% would trust deputy prime minister Nick Clegg and the business secretary Vince Cable.
Two thirds of voters say the economic picture is bad compared to just 9% who believe it is good.
Despite the disappointing results for Miliband, the Labour continues to hold a 10 percentage point lead over David Cameron's party. Ukip stands at 19% and the Liberal Democrats continue to struggle on 7%.
According to the poll, 45% say the government should spend more money to stimulate the economy and increase growth even if it means borrowing more in the short term.
One in three (34%) say the government should continue to focus on reducing the deficit by cutting public spending.
• Opinium Research carried out an online survey of 1,954 GB adults from 25th to 28th June. Results have been weighted to nationally representative criteria. Full tables are available here"

Pleasantly Surprised
Sail Date: March 18, 2016
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Family (young children)
Room Type: Oceanview
Mammy of the people we've talked to, and several reviews I've read, stayed that carnival cruise line was catered to a more young adult crowd, and nor really for families with younger children. Our experience was the opposite. The room was large compared to other lines we've been on; the food was good; the child/family activities on board were very good; and the service was exceptional.

Hospital Universitario La Paz. IdiPAZ, Madrid, Spain
SESSION TITLE: COPD Safety of Treatment Posters
SESSION TYPE: Original Investigation Poster
PRESENTED ON: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
PURPOSE: Assess the associated comorbidity of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and analyze the prescribed treatments, polypharmacy criteria and their correlation with other variables.
METHODS: Cross-sectional observational study of 123 patients with stable COPD. We recorded demographic, anthropometric and lung function variables and the most relevant comorbidities. We also analyzed and quantified the prescribed treatments.
RESULTS: A total of 123 patients were included. Mean age of 73 ± 9 years, 87% men and 13% women, mean BMI of 28 ± 4 kg/m2 and mean FEV1% of 57.29 ± 18% (GOLD I, 13%; II, 51%; III, 31%; IV, 5%). The most common comorbidities were high blood pressure (37%), dyslipidemia (24%), smoking (22%), heart disease (17%), diabetes (12,5%), neurological (11%), prostatic syndrome (13%), vascular disease (10%), neoplasms (9%), hyperuricemia (8.1%), gastrointestinal disease (7.3%), anxiety-depression syndrome (7%), renal failure (3%). The mean Charlson index (CI) was 1.5% ± 1.1, and the CI adjusted for age was 4.4 ±1.6. When comparing male and female patients, we found significant differences in terms of age and BMI. With regard to the treatments, 81% of the patients were polymedicated (more than 5 drugs). The average number of drugs prescribed was 8.8 ± 3.6 (2.2 ± 0.9 respiratory drugs). The most frequently prescribed drugs were anticholinergic inhalers (81%), inhaled corticosteroids and/or bronchodilators (73%), cardiovascular drugs (45%), antiplatelet-anticoagulant agents (34%), hypolipidemic agents (32%), oxygen therapy (27%), gastroprotective agents (25%), psychotropic agents (16%), prostatic hyperplasia agents (15%), antidiabetic agents (13%) and nervous system agents (11%). We found a significant correlation between the total number of drugs on one hand and age (r=0.22, p<0.02) and FEV1% (r=-0.24, p< 0.06) on the other. We compared the patient groups with and without polypharmacy and found significant differences for the FEV1% variables: 64.30 ± 17.15% vs. 55.68 ± 17.95% (p<0.01) and the Charlson index: 0.96 ± 0.64 vs. 1.65 ± 1.15 (p<0.006).
CONCLUSIONS: 1. The most common comorbidities were HBP, dyslipidemia, smoking and heart diseases. 2. The majority of the patients were polymedicated with an average of 8.8 drugs. We found a correlation between the number of prescribed drugs on one hand and age and lung function on the other.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The majority of the patients with COPD were polymedicated

The Falkland Islands with Lindblad Expeditions
National Geographic Orion is back with more exciting destinations and the Falklands is one of them. Set sail to this unique destination with Lindblad Expeditions to see the region's natural wildlife, learn about the area's history and meet the local populations.
Set departure dates in October 2016
Day 1: Arrival
Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred from Santiago airport to your hotel, Ritz Carlton Santiago Hotel, which is situated in the heart of El Golfo, one of Santiago's most exclusive neighbourhoods and is among the finest hotels in Chile's cosmopolitan capital. This luxury hotel combines old-world splendour with modern comforts and offers breathtaking views of the Andes Mountains.
You will have the remainder of the day at leisure to relax before explore the surroundings, such as Plaza de Armas, the main square, and the nearby Presidential Palace.
Stay: Ritz-Carlton Santiago
Day 2: Fly to Ushuaia, embark National Geographic Orion
Today you will fly by private charter flight from Santiago to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, to embark National Geographic Orion. The morning's charter flight offers impressive views of the stunningly rugged terrain of Patagonia as you venture further south. You will enjoy lunch during a catamaran cruise of the scenic Beagle Channel before embarking ship.
Day 3: Visit Staten Island
Today you will visit the extraordinary Staten Island, one of the newest nature reserves in the southern hemisphere. National Geographic Orion and Explorer are the only expedition ships ever allowed to visit this area.
You will have a chance to experience colonies of seabirds and marine mammals rarely seen, and a chance to be one of the few expeditioners to set foot on and explore this remarkable island.
Day 4: Explore Steeple Jason Island
Today you will start your adventure in Falkland Islands. Each Falkland Island has a variation on the theme of topographical beauty with white-sand beaches, vaulting cliffs, windswept moors and the sunlit yellows and sage greens of waving tussock grass. The Falklands boast thousands of irresistible gentoo, rockhopper and Magellanic penguins, as well as wallows of elephant seals, and relaxed South American sea lions and fur seals hauled out on the rocks.
The first island to visit will be the most remote, windswept and arguably most important wildlife conservation sites in all of the Falklands, Steeple Jason, where you will see the largest colony of black-browed albatross in the world. It is also home to gregarious and rarest species of raptor in the world, the striated caracara, locally known as Johnny Rooks.
Day 5: From Carcass to Saunders Island
Your morning landing on Carcass Island provides the opportunity for a hike to view Magellanic penguins nesting among the tussock grass, a myriad bird life, local flora, and sweeping views of the harbor. You will stop for a lavish Falkland Islands tea with our longtime friends the McGill family, owners of the island.
You will continue your adventure in the afternoon to Saunders Island where you will see a white sandy beach, only rivaled by the Caribbean. This island is home to gentoo and Magellanic penguins and you will be on the lookout for Conmerson's dolphins surfing in the waves.
Day 6: Stanley Island Tour
As the largest and most populated city in the islands, Stanley Island provides myriad options for exploration. You will enjoy a guided tour of the area to experience local "English" life; a visit to the family-owned and operated Long Island Farm with demonstrations of peat harvesting and sheep shearing along with a local tea service; a hike to Mount William, the historic site of a large battle during the Falklands War; or a short walk from the pier to the Stanley Growers Hydroponics Gardens that produces all the fresh produce for the small community of 2,500.
Day 7: From George to Barren Island
Rarely visited by outsiders, you will have the unique opportunity to visit George and Barren Islands. The morning focus will be Zodiac rides and hikes to encounter sea lions, elephant seals, and Magellanic penguins. In the afternoon, you will see the local settlement to experience sheep-shearing and a typical English tea.
Day 8: A Day in Fox Bay
Today you will enjoy a full day in Fox Bay and learn about the culture here. You will visit a local ranch for a superb barbecue and mix with locals to learn about their ways of life.
Day 9: New Island Nature Reserve
Today you will visit New Island Nature Reserve, this large island is a prime spot for excellent nature watching. You will see Settlement Harbour, a mixed colony of rockhopper penguins, black-browed albatross, and king shags. You will also visit the newly established historical museum.
Day 10: At Sea
As you sail back to Ushuaia, an albatross or two may join the escort of seabirds. You will have a time to share photos with the on-board National Geographic photographer and the remainder of the day at leisure to relax.
Day 11: Departure
After breakfast, you will disembark Ushuaia in the morning, where you will have time to explore the city before flying off to Buenos Aires and catching your return flight home.

The Voodoo Ribbons from sE mark a new era for Ribbon mic technology - until the release of both the VR1 and VR2, the only Ribbon mic in the world to perform across 20Hz-20KHz was our own Rupert Neve collaboration, the RNR1. Both our Voodoo Ribbon mics capture frequencies from 20Hz to 20KHz and the outcome is a traditional yet detailed and natural ribbon mic sound.
The VR2 is an 'active' version of the VR1, which is the more traditional 'passive' Ribbon design. These mics' unique ability to perform, coupled with searingly good looks, is sure to make the VR1 and VR2 classics of their time.

AbstractThis project will develop a computer-assisted consultation system for clinical radiologists in thedetection of lung nodules (cancer) on chest radiographs. An automated screening of digital chestradiographs can be further developed when this system is fully tested in various clinical settings. Thesuccess of this project will inspire revolutionary improvements in other cancer diagnostic proceduresthrough further research and development. We have demonstrated that the newly developed "visiontype" neural network and training methods for the detection of lung nodules are also applicable to thedetection of microcalcifications on mammograms by presenting microcalcification patterns in the training.The pre-scan methods and vision type neural networks simulate radiologists' routine practices in readingchest radiographs Radiologists' viewing patterns and decision making processes will be modeled andconverted to computer readable form. Preliminary studies have shown the promise of this approach.The Phase I study will address issues related to the differentiation of end-on vessels from true nodules.The plan of the Phase II study is to (i) analyze the learning patterns of the vision type neural network,(ii) consolidate the research outcome of the neural network learning, and (iii) implement a prototypeconsultation system for clinical use.

Get the Stoke City newsletter
22:13 4th January 2011
DEAN WHITEHEAD headed home Stoke City's first League goal at Old Trafford for more than 30 years . . . but it couldn't prevent their brave performance ending in defeat.
The £5 million midfielder glanced home a Tuncay cross with his head in the 51st minute to give the Potters genuine hope of getting a result against leaders Manchester United.
They were sunk in the end, however, by a stunning strike from Nani on the hour after Javier Hernandez had claimed the goal that put United in front in the 27th minute.
But although the final outcome was a familiar one for the Potters, this was a far cry from the heavy defeats which they had suffered in their previous two Barclays Premier League visits to Old Trafford and they were still in with a shout going into the closing stages.
Whitehead's goal, his second in the Premier League this season following his late winner against Birmingham City back in November, was the first for City at Old Trafford since Lee Chapman was on target for them in a 2-2 draw back in 1980.
Pulis made three changes to the side that started 2011 with a win over Everton, welcoming back Huth after his one-match suspension and also calling up Wilson and Tuncay. That meant Higginbotham, Pennant and Fuller dropped to the bench.
United had a number of notable absentees including Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Edwin Van Der Sar, but they welcomed back Nani and Ryan Giggs.
City managed to hold the Premier League leaders at bay in the early stages with the first threat coming when Darron Gibson tried his luck from long range after being set up by Patrice Evra, but although his effort skidded off the surface it flew wide.
When Tuncay switched play to the right hand side, Wilkinson was encouraged to venture forward and he forced the Potter's first corner of the game with his burst to the edge of the box as Fletcher chose a safety first approach to the danger.
A fantastic first time pass from Wilson was directed towards the advancing Collins, but he lost his balance and couldn't deliver a telling cross.
Wilkinson was then involved at the other end by making an important interception in typically full-blooded style to halt Berbatov in his tracks after a neat link-up between Giggs and Fletcher had given the Bulgarian a chance to break forward.
United were beginning to launch wave after wave of attacks and when Berbatov laid the ball off to Gibson he fired his shot high over the bar.
Berbatov was only inches away from giving United the lead in the 22nd minute with a first time shot after a Giggs pass broke to him at the far post.
The home side were then awarded a free kick when Nani was upended by Wilson, but Giggs' curling effort from 25 yards out cleared the bar comfortably.
But United went in front in the 27th minute with what appeared to be an own goal from Shawcross although Hernandez was claiming the credit for it.
Nani was the creator of the breakthrough with a low cross from the right which Hernandez tried to back heel at the near post, but it squeezed past Begovic after appearing to take a deflection off Shawcross as he slid in to make the challenge.
City posed little threat in their attempt to get back into the game, although Wilson looked impressive and he tried a long range drive which flew over.
The half ended with Vidic shielding the ball back to Kuszczak under pressure from Tuncay after Jones had flicked on a Delap pass and then Etherington found space to unleash another effort from fully 25 yards out that flew over the bar.
Pulis' side made an encouraging start to the second half as they held onto possession and pushed United back for a period.
It brought its reward five minutes after the break with a well-worked equaliser to give the Potters hope of getting something out of the game.
Tuncay was instrumental in setting the goal up as he advanced forward and then cut in from the left to pick out Whitehead breaking into the box who glanced his header past the reach of the diving Kuszczak and in at the far post.
United struggled to recover from that setback and they looked a little edgy on the ball as passes went astray and City stood firm.
But the Potters' optimism was short-lived as United restored their lead at the halfway point in the half with a splendid strike from Nani.
The Portuguese star was picked out by a pass from Hernandez on the right hand edge of the box and although he had three City players in front of him, he made sufficient space to curl a left foot shot beyond the reach of the diving Begovic.
Pulis made a couple of changes shortly after that, introducing Pennant and Walters in place of Etherington and Delap, while a third substitution saw Fuller replace Jones as the Potters looked to try and salvage a point.
But it was Hernandez who showed his real threat around the box once again when he fired a shot over the bar after Rafael's burst into the box.
With Fuller spearheading the attack, City had their moments going forward and if anything it was United who were happy for time to tick away.

Myosource Resistance Bands Coach Stops The Sugar to Fight Obesity
Coach Marlin McQueen encourages Americans to avoid sugar and add exercise to lose weight.
"It seems like every day I see a new headline about the growing problem of obesity in our country, I and wanted to do something to help. I thought an easy way to set an example would be to cut out sugar from my diet, as well as lower my calorie intake. I'm finding that not only have I set an example for those who I train, but I actually feel better, too," said McQueen.
The Center for Diseases Control and Prevention (http://www.cdc.gov) estimates that around 66% of Americans are overweight or obese, with much of the problem being blamed on poor diet and lack of exercise. McQueen also says that the amount of soda, sugary drinks (even diet drinks) and foods with high fructose corn syrup are only making the problem worse. He recommends a three-step plan in order to get healthy and in shape.
1-2-3 Steps to Health
The first step to getting healthy through McQueen's plan involves improving nutrition. Replacing sugars with whole grains and vegetables, in addition to cutting out sugar-filled beverages will jump start metabolism and place the body in fat-burning mode. Second, McQueen recommends short strength-training exercises to get the body ready to burn calories. This can include weights or resistance band training. Last, McQueen recommends a 30-45 minute cardio workout several days each week, to be done after strength training exercises.
"It takes commitment, but this three-step approach to getting healthier will work. It's worked for me, and I know that anyone who's determined to cut out the sugar, improve nutrition and get moving through exercise will also see results," said McQueen.

In cancer, differences in risk factors and genetics generate diverse clinical behaviors (disease progression, response to therapy) at the patient level. Yet, despite critical implications for therapeutic outcome, few tools are available to study patient samples at the cellular level in a rigorous way with sufficient replicates to enable clinically meaningful assessments. This challenge is particularly acute in the context of cancer metastasis, where micro-tumors establish themselves in ectopic environments which are significantly different in cellular make-up than primary tumor. But few tools allow one to probe intercell network communication (e.g. paracrine signals between different cell types). A sample preparation bottleneck is particularly acute for the study of heterogeneity requiring large numbers of samples (e.g. each patient sample is different, each requiring nucleic acid purification). Thus, there is a need to perform culture (including co-culture), treatment, and analyte purification from a large number of samples (multiple patients, treatments, and repeats). Our goal is to apply simple micro scale technology to profile intercell regulation on heterogeneous patient samples. The cornerstones of our approach are an immiscible oil barrier, termed the """"""""Phase-Gate,"""""""" that separates the upstream """"""""dirty"""""""" side (culture, treatment, lysis) of sample processing from the downstream """"""""clean"""""""" side (analyte purification and detection) and micro chamber co-culture with increased sensitivity to paracrine signaling. Our preliminary data predicts that neighboring stroma play a critical role in regulating key therapeutic targets and that advances in experimental capabilities (throughput, sensitivity, compartmentalization) will provide new tools and biological insights that will advance basic and translational cancer research. Here, we will apply a co-culture and transcriptional analysis platform to dissecting cell network communication - specifically how intercell regulation contributes to nuclear receptor regulation and ultimately to tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. The validation and advanced development of this technology directed towards an important area in cancer biology (nuclear receptor response) will accelerate its use enable studies not feasible previously.
We anticipate that the research proposed in this grant will not only help to elucidate how intercell regulation contributes to nuclear receptor regulation, but ultimately to tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. More broadly these studies will provide new tools and biological insights that will advance basic and translational cancer research.

Great Getaway
Sail Date: January 03, 2015
Reviewed: 2 years ago
Traveled As: Family (older children)
Room Type: Balcony
The customer supporting teams - stateroom, restaurant, cafeteria and refreshments were always courteous, helpful and thoughtfull.
The themes and activities were very well done, and had the guests lively involved.
The dining waiter team - second seating (08:30 PM), table 436 was expecially
good. He provided expert service, entertainment and we felt that he was only
service the one table, although knowing her had several under his watch.
The time in Port for San Juan could have been longer, it seemed that the time was just barely enough to walk through old San Juan, and nothing more.
The BBQ lunch at Labadee did not really account for the sports/excursions that were starting around 12:00 (Noon) - we were on the Wave Runner excursion and by the time we reached the BBQ it was closed.

The four-day trade show, January 28-31, will attract 18,000 ski and snow sports retailers, manufacturers, and decision-makers, and will have an estimated annual economic impact of $30 million. SIA will hold the event in Denver for the next 11 years.
"The 11-year agreement makes this the largest convention booking in Denver's history. Even better, it comes in January, traditionally one of the slowest months of the year for our city," said VISIT DENVER President & CEO Richard Scharf. "SIA Snow Show delegates will spend more money in Denver over the next decade than the original cost of expanding the Colorado Convention Center."
Governor Ritter welcomed the SIA Snow Show to Colorado: "It's no secret that Colorado is regarded around the world as the snow sports capital of America, so it is a great, natural fit for us to host the premier snow sports industry trade show," he said. "This event will bring great economic benefit to Denver, and it will also generate tremendous interest in snow sports in general, boosting winter tourism throughout Colorado."
Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper stated, "We are pleased to host the SIA Snow Show and welcome its 18,000 attendees to the Mile High City. This convention will give our region a significant economic lift, as well as an opportunity to continue showcasing all of the great outdoor activities Colorado has to offer. This is a tremendous opportunity for Denver and our state."
Melanie Mills, president & CEO of Colorado Ski Country USA, noted: "Having the SIA Snow Show in Colorado gives retailers from around the country who maybe haven't skied or ridden in our state before, or who otherwise may not have made it out here, the opportunity to see our resorts' wonderful product. They'll be able to experience firsthand why Colorado is the top destination for winter vacations."
The World's Largest Après Ski + Ride Party
To welcome the SIA Snow Show and its 18,000 delegates to Denver, the Mile High City is staging a new event billed as "The World's Largest Après Ski + Ride Party." The event, presented by The Denver Post, held concurrently with the SIA Snow Show. The Après Ski + Ride Party is open to both Snow Show attendees and Denver locals, and includes events at more than 60 Denver bars, nightclubs, restaurants, theaters and sporting venues, as well as diverse activities ranging from a live feed of ESPN's Winter X-Games Fourteen hosted by Aspen/Snowmass being shown live on big screen TVs in Skyline Park to "Wear Your Ski Wear to Work Friday." From January 28-30, 2010, Denver residents and visitors can celebrate the winter season and the city's position as a snow sports Mecca. www.DenverApres.com.
Ruby Hill Rail Yard, the nations' first and only free urban ski and snowboard terrain park, is located just outside of Denver's downtown core. Ruby Hill is a result of the partnership between Denver Parks and Recreation, which provides youth programs, Christy Sports who provides free equipment rental, and Winter Park Resort, who provides the rails and terrain park design, as well as more than 30 volunteers who staff the terrain park. Ruby Hill is open daily from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. Free ski and snowboard rentals is available Tuesdays and Thursday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. For kids ages 8 – 17, equipment rental requires a release and waiver completed by a parent.

Background on the Current Problems of the Khmer Language
The Cambodian language is dying: the spoken language is either crude and earthy (to the point of offensiveness) or highly stylized (to the point of incomprehension); the written language is in crisis from carelessness and lack of development, mummified from antiquity, rattled by modernity.
And no one is doing anything about it.
[...] If used at all, the comma is inserted with great reluctance or inconfidence because its function is not widely understood.
. . .
Language and National Identity: Cambodia
* * *
Use of COMMAS (,) in many languages (including Khmer):
Mainly, to avoid confusion. Commas are used for clarity, because that is the goal of communication!),
Use commas to separate words and word groups with a series of three or more.
(For further guidance from English usage...)

Had similar problem with a ge fridge. remove the back panel if you can and clean out the dust and dirt. this may help, if not, your fridge may need a part such as a component board that controls the defrost cycle. that's what i had to do with my ge, it cost about $150 but i had some other work done as well. it sucks but it's a lot cheaper than a new fridge. good luck.

ICUs are experiencing an epidemic of patients with acute brain dysfunction (delirium) and weakness, both associated with increased mortality and long-term disability. These conditions are commonly acquired in the ICU and are often initiated or exacerbated by sedation and ventilation decisions and management. Despite > 10 years of evidence revealing the hazards of delirium, the quality chasm between current and ideal processes of care continues to exist. Monitoring of delirium and sedation levels remains inconsistent. In addition, sedation, ventilation, and physical therapy practices proven successful at reducing the frequency and severity of adverse outcomes are not routinely practiced. In this article, we advocate for the adoption and implementation of a standard bundle of ICU measures with great potential to reduce the burden of ICU-acquired delirium and weakness. Individual components of this bundle are evidence based and can help standardize communication, improve interdisciplinary care, reduce mortality, and improve cognitive and functional outcomes. We refer to this as the "ABCDE bundle," for awakening and breathing coordination, delirium monitoring, and exercise/early mobility. This evidence-based bundle of practices will build a bridge across the current quality chasm from the "front end" to the "back end" of critical care and toward improved cognitive and functional outcomes for ICU survivors.

The Muse Returns to a Historic Estate
The first annual Jarmila Novotná Festival debuts Sept 8-9 at Liteň
A new, annual music festival debuts this weekend, in the backyard of Karlštejn castle. The Jarmila Novotná Festival honors the Prague dressmaker's daughter who rose to fame as a star of The Metropolitan Opera, New York.
Jarmila Novotná's first voice teacher was none other than the legendary soprano Emma Destinn, she appeared for 16 seasons at The Met, and sang for several US presidents. Novotná (1907-1994) married a wealthy Czech baron, Jiří Daubek, and they fled both Nazism and the Communists, finally settling in the US. (Story: Opus Osm, Mon, Aug 27.)
Highlight of the inaugural Jarmila Novotná Festival Sept 8-9 is the Gala Concert at 7 pm both Saturday and Sunday. Novotná's grand-daughter, violinist Tatiana Daubek, will perform with internationally-known oboist Gonzalo Ruiz. The concert of Bach and Mozart also features soprano Martina Sehylová; mezzo Alžběta Vomáčková; and the Early Music ensemble Musica Florea.Tatiana Daubek earned a master's degree in historical performance from Boston University and the Julliard School, New York. She performs with US-based ensembles Boston Baroque, the Handel Society, the Haydn Society, and others. She is instrumental in shaping the programs for the future annual festivals.
A world-renowned oboist, Mr Ruiz is originally from Argentina, is a musicologist specializing in JS Bach, and a professor at Julliard. The reconstruction of Bach's orchestral suite for the oboe will have its European premiere at this Festival.
But the purpose of the Jarmila Novotná Festival is not only to revive the memory of the Czech opera star, according to Dita Hradecká, public relations director.
It will also offer a platform for young performers such as Martina Sehylová, a graduate of Prague Conservatory, now continuing her voice training in Italy; and Alžběta Vomáčková, a Conservatory student and laureate of the Jarmila Novotná Prize awarded at Karlovy Vary in 2011.
The Daubek estate at Liteň, the scene of prime social events of the late 19th-century, "was famous for its cultural activity in the past, and provided a shelter to a number of important Czech artists," according to festival organizers. The Daubeks' "neighbors" included artists such as the Mánes brothers and František Ženíšek, sculptor Václav Mylsbek, and writer Svatopluk Čech.
Therefore, another goal of cited by Festival organizers is "to revive the cultural life at Liteň," involving the local community and attracting interested visitors to this estate located about 3 km from the Karlštejn Castle.
Accordingly, Jarmila Novotná's son Jiří Daubek and other family members will open the Festival with a memorial at the Daubek gravesite on Saturday morning. A special presentation of scenes from The Bartered Bride and other family-oriented events will be offered that afternoon, along with a recital of Czech composers' songs by Mrs Vomáčková at 3 pm on Sunday. — oo

We've all been there.
We've had that boss who never acknowledges effort, the friend who constantly asks for favors but never makes it seem worth it, and we've all experienced rudeness and indifference from strangers. While there's nothing you can do about how others act, you can set a good example by being the change you want to see.
The best way to get more people on board with showing appreciation is to do it yourself. Here are 20 simple ways to live a life full of gratitude and honor all of the people who make your life better.
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." -John F. Kennedy
1. Hand write a thank you note. Sure, it takes a bit more effort and your penmanship is probably terrible from a lack of use, but this little effort goes a long way.
2. Acknowledge them publicly. If someone has made a big difference in your life, raise a glass and make a toast to honor that special person. Everyone loves a moment in the sun, so why not give them one?
3. Spend time with them. If you have a friend who got you through a really difficult time or you want to acknowledge a special family member who did a fantastic job raising you, spend some time with them. They obviously love you, and sharing that time together will be an incredible gift.
4. Add details when thanking them. Saying "thanks" is great, but if you really want to show your appreciation, fully recognize their efforts. "Thank you so much for getting up early to help me load up the moving truck. I know it wasn't fun, but I really do appreciate it!"
5. Feed them. They need to eat anyway, and providing food is always a great idea. If they're helping with manual labor, provide pizza and beer. If they helped you out at work, pick up their lunch. Take note of any allergies and bake up some treats if you want to thank a large group of people at once.
6. Give them a hug. There's nothing better than a big, squeezy, "I love the crap out of you" hug, so open those arms up and say thank you. If someone isn't a hugger, a hearty handshake is a decent substitute.
7. Be helpful in return. If someone helps you with a renovation project, be available to them when they begin theirs. If they cooked you dinner, help pick up dishes afterward. (You can even do this one at a restaurant by arranging dishes in a way that makes it easier for them to be taken away from the table.)
8. Tell them right away. Don't let a good deed go unnoticed. For the best effect, recognize the person and thank them as soon as possible. If you wait too long, they may feel overlooked and unappreciated.
9. Be honest and sincere. This one might be obvious, but when giving someone thanks, take a moment to slow it down and be real. This is especially true for someone you normally joke around with all the time, because the change in tone will let them know you absolutely mean it.
10. Pay attention to what they need. If someone is doing you a favor, pay attention to them and what they need to get the job done as painlessly as possible. If you gave them a tool to use that's broken, replace it. If you're asking more than they can handle, lessen their load and make it manageable. This way, they don't have to wait until the end of the job to receive thanks, as they'll know they are appreciated the entire time.
11. Pay them a compliment. Don't just thank someone for what they've done for you; let them know exactly how much they rock.
12. Thank them with a gift. This doesn't have to be something huge and extravagant. Small tokens of appreciation, like movie tickets or a bottle of their favorite wine, will have a huge impact.
13. Keep a journal. This isn't to keep score of who does more favors for you, but it will make you more aware of how many people selflessly help you out on any given day, which is sure to boost your mood and help you do other kind things for others. This only needs to be done a couple of times a week, but it will make you more aware of all the good in your life.
14. Reduce complaints. Show others that you respect and appreciate them and their time by reducing the amount of complaining you do. Yes, some jobs are no fun to do, but complaining doesn't help; it makes it worse for you and everyone around you, particularly someone going out of their way to pitch in for you.
15. Make them something. Everyone has different talents, and why not use yours to help show appreciation? Whether you're skilled at woodworking, sewing, crafting, or drawing, using your expertise to make a small, thoughtful gift will be hugely appreciated.
16. Tip well. As the saying goes: "If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out." Restaurant workers don't make a lot, and a 20 percent tip should be the absolute minimum.
17. Do your part. Yes, there are people whose job it is to pick up garbage or collect carts in the grocery store parking lot, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't put any effort into those tasks. Make sure your garbage makes it into a garbage can and you bring your cart to the corral. (If I can do it with twin newborns while it's raining, so can you.) These workers will appreciate your helpfulness.
18. Be positive. When someone helps you out, there is always the chance that it wasn't done exactly how you had envisioned. Rather than gripe about the imperfections, praise them for the positive aspects of the job they did. If they tried their best but didn't quite hit the mark, giving positive encouragement will make them aspire to do better next time, and make them feel better about the mistakes they made.
19. Show respect for their time. If someone is doing a job for you, even if you're their supervisor at work, show respect for their time. Be prompt, and make sure all necessary supplies they need to complete the task. If they can get started right away, they probably won't need to stay late and cut into their personal time later.
20. SMILE!! Dolly Parton once said, "If you see someone without a smile, give 'em yours!" Smiling is the surest way to let people know that you truly appreciate what they've done and that they've made your life better somehow. Research has shown that smiling, even when you don't particularly want to, will make you happier.

This former threshing barn at Larcombe Farm, East Allington, is a collection of stone houses surrounded by green fields that are grazed by rare breed Grey Face Dartmoor sheep. You approach the barn via a hedgerow and wildflower-hemmed track, which dips suddenly towards the large farmhouse and pond. So far, so rustic. But a private entrance whisks you around the pond to the upper floor of the two-tier barn. And that's where the wow factor kicks in.
Two sets of glass doors open to a 22m open plan living area, which runs from a kitchen to a living room via an enormous dining table. Huge skylights flood the room with sunlight. The exposed stone walls keep you rooted in your location, but the decor is on a par with any bona fide boutique hotel: Philippe Starck Eros chairs, chandeliers, giant candelabras, bright orange sofas, a sleek black gloss kitchen, edgy screen prints, a surround sound system and a flat-screen TV as wide as a trough. That's not to say that the owner, Caroline Murray, has bleached the barn of its character. Wood has been salvaged to create charmingly bowed doors ("The carpenter told me he'd seen better wood thrown on bonfires, but somehow it worked," she chuckled); the floorboards arrived from France as tree trunks; bedrooms are beamed and there's a (suitably retro-chic) wood-burning fireplace. The overall effect is a rock'n'roll bolthole with idyllic country views.
The rooms
The barn sleeps up to 12 in four ground floor bedrooms, plus the "Crow's Nest", a glass-fronted eyrie suspended over the kitchen with a sofa bed and two pull-out beds. The downstairs rooms "Woods", "Lily", "Indian" and "Disco" are immaculately decked out in Cole and Son designer wallpapers, heated oak floors, en-suite slate and concrete bathrooms, flat-screen TVs and DVD players. Beds include a 5ft four-poster, a 7ft French-style rattan bed and an 8ft Victorian iron bed, and are draped in crisp, snowy linens, down duvets, and velvet throws. Windows overlook the surrounding countryside, with some opening directly on to a paddock.
The food and drink
There's a high-spec kitchen with a professional cooker, dishwasher and acres of fridge space. The long dining table is made up of salvaged floorboards from the Princess Theatre in Torbay and is perfect for a big get-together. We enjoyed a 30th birthday there and celebrated with a home-cooked curry for 10. For warmer months, there's a top-of-the-range barbecue and an equally large table for al fresco dining. Tesco will deliver groceries directly to the barn. Failing that, the area is saturated with great pubs and restaurants, from the Michelin-starred New Angel in Dartmouth and Effings in Totnes, to the Fortescue Arms in East Allington, just a mile away. Sharpham Vineyard and cheese-makers is also a short drive away and offers tours.
The extras
Linen, towels, kitchen basics and cleaning products are provided, as well as Wi-Fi and Cath Kidston soaps in the bathrooms. There's a large games room across the courtyard complete with a pool table, piano, dart board and table tennis. The pantry has a washing machine and tumble dryer and all the requisite bags and bins for recycling.
The access
There is one set of stairs leading from the main living area down to the bedrooms, and a spiral staircase that winds up to the "Crow's Nest". The barn might look outwardly adult-oriented but is actually very child-friendly too, with plenty of games, toys, a steriliser and stair guards. A fenced paddock has a set of swings and is ideal for letting kids run riot.
The bill
Weekly rental ranges from £1,400 to £3,400, with short breaks dependent on availability.
The address
Big Barn, Larcombe Farm, East Allington, Totnes, Devon (01548 521663; bigbarnholidayindevon.co.uk).

We're in the midst of fava bean season, which runs from late March to May, and these lumpy green beans are popping up at markets everywhere. If you've seen fava beans (aka broad beans), you'll probably agree that they're not very attractive. But give them a try! Once you do, you'll see why favas have so many fans.
Like all legumes, fava beans are high in protein and fiber and very low in fat. Favas are a good source of iron, magnesium, potassium, and vitamins A and C. They're also a cholesterol-free food.
Buy pods that are green and firm, with few to no brown spots. A pound of beans will yield one cup of shelled beans. You can find frozen and canned fava beans year-round at most supermarkets, but fresh beans are the tastiest. Dried fava beans, which are best for soups and stews, can be found on the shelf of some ethnic markets, especially those that stock Mediterranean and Asian foods.
How to Prepare Fava Beans
Preparing fava beans is easy enough, but it involves several steps.
1. First, remove the beans from their fuzzy pods. Each pod yields about 4 to 7 beans.
2. Then, place the beans in lightly salted boiling water. Cook for 2 minutes, drain, and rinse in cold water. Alternatively, you could steam the beans.
3. Finally, slip each bean from its waxy coating.
Fresh fava beans are a beautiful green color. They're nutty, buttery, creamy, and yummy–and certainly worth the effort it takes to prepare them.
As an ingredient, fava beans are incredibly versatile. They can be used in salads, soups, pasta dishes, casseroles, sautéed with garlic and olive oil, mashed with avocado, and paired with other spring veggies, such as asparagus and morel mushrooms. Here are two easy recipes to replicate at home.
Fava Bean Salad
Serves 4
1 cup cooked fava beans
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
3 Yukon Gold potatoes, diced, cooked, cooled and blotted dry
1/2 cup frozen corn, defrosted
4 green onions, chopped1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
1 hard boiled egg, finely chopped
6 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
Zest of one lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
1. In a large bowl, combine the fava beans, cherry tomatoes, potatoes, corn, green onions and kalamata olives.
2. Zest one lemon over the salad ingredients.
3. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, mint, salt, and pepper. Gently toss.
4. Divide among four plates and top each serving with some of the chopped egg.
Option: Top this salad with cooked shrimp or grilled chicken to make it a heartier meal.
Fava Bean Canapés
Serves 8
1 cup cooked fava beans
1 green onion
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Shaved pecorino cheese
4 slices whole-grain bread, crusts removed, cut into triangles

ACPT inhibits cell proliferation through beta-catenin (show CTNNB1 ELISA Kits)-mediated signaling in dental mesenchyme but elicits odontoblast differentiation and mineralization by supplying phosphate during dentin formation.
Acid phosphatases are enzymes capable of hydrolyzing orthophosphoric acid esters in an acid medium. This gene is up-regulated by androgens and is down-regulated by estrogens in the prostate cancer cell line. This gene exhibits a lower level of expression in testicular cancer tissues than in normal tissues. The protein encoded by this gene has structural similarity to prostatic and lysosomal acid phosphatases. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined.
