Deloitte is opening a blockchain lab on New York's financial district, in what it bills a 'make or break' year for the nascent technology.
The Americas blockchain lab will be staffed by a dedicated team of more than 20 blockchain developers and designers, working with technology partners and banking clients to run concept tests, build prototypes and develop 'ready-to-integrate' applications.
"With the technology not yet having reached widespread adoption, 2017 could be the make-or-break year for blockchain technology," says Eric Piscini, a principal with Deloitte Consulting LLP. "Financial institutions have the power and ability to move blockchain to the next level. To get there, companies will need to move away from churning out proofs of concept and begin producing and implementing solutions. That's a big part of the goal with Deloitte's blockchain lab."
He says the company has already developed more than 30 blockchain-related prototypes, covering a multitude of uses such as digital identity, digital banking, cross-border payments, trade finance, and loyalty and rewards solutions, as well as distinct efforts for the investment management and insurance sectors.

Heart Failure, Heart Disease and Stem Cells
Stem cell treatments for damaged hearts, heart disease and heart failure are closing in on revolutionary developments that not only repair damaged hearts but also eliminate the need for anti-rejection drugs. The newest discoveries range from trials at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, Stanford University, Louisville's Jewish Hospital, the University of Buffalo and the UH Case Medical Center. The implications are far reaching and clearly demonstrate the advances in treatments for numerous stages of heart disease.
On Monday, the Louisville Jewish Hospital and Cedars – Sinai of Los Angeles revealed startling results in studies using the patient's stem cells to successfully rebuild the muscle and improve the Left Ventricle Ejection Fraction (LVEF), the gauge of the heart's capacity to pump blood with each contraction.
Dr. Bolli led the study in Louisville. Dr. Eduardo Marban directed the Cedars-Sinai stem cell program. Combined with other studies, the exploratory stem cell treatment included 60 patients suffering various stages of heart disease.
Bolli's study included 16 patients who all received cardiac stem cells. Another seven patients received no stem cells. Over a period of one-year, the seven patients not receiving stem cells but receiving conventional treatment showed no improvement. In the patients receiving stem cells the average left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) was 30 percent. After one year, the stem cell recipients improved the average LVEF to 42.5 percent.
For those of us who have become edgy as our LVEF continuously decreased, these developments seem quite miraculous. To be qualify for heart transplantation, recipients typically must have an ejection fraction below 12 percent. Typically, patients with a higher LVEF can qualify for a heart transplant program but may have a long wait before actually receiving an organ.
Remember that the current transplant mindset is that the longer you have your own heart, the better you are. I did not always feel that way, but after a difficult recovery, I certainly see the logic. On the other hand, my children always remind me of how I felt prior to the transplant. Not very well!
As Dr. Bolli explained when we enter congestive heart failure and end stage heart disease conventional treatment does not produce improvement. My cardiologist described the end stage as being on a hill that looks steeper every day. There is only one direction to go and that is down the hill. The descent can be rapid or slow but there has never before been a way to reverse the trend.
The idea that one's LVEV can show such dramatic improvement almost seems inconceivable. In the Louisville study, Mike Jones suffered a severe heart attack two years ago. With conventional care, Jones was falling down the hill at a rapid pace.
The infusion of stem cells into his coronary arteries yielded big returns. Bolli's procedure showed that this treatment not only halted the downward spiral but also rebuilt the damaged heart. Jones was doing the unthinkable. He was climbing the hill. Jones needed no anti-rejection medications and suffered no dangerous side effects.
Before the stem cell infusion, Jones could barely walk without having to stop to catch his breath. He is now back to work and even playing baseball with his children and grandchildren. Miraculous!
At Cedars-Sinai, Ken Milles was among 17 patients who received stem cell infusions six weeks after suffering moderate to major heart attacks. All patients were described as being "at big risk" of future heart failure.
In Miles, the damaged scar tissue was reduced by 40 percent. In other patients the range was between 30 and 47 percent. Dr. Marban said, "This is unprecedented, the first time anyone has grown living heart muscle."
The best news is that no patients in the study have suffered any further heart failure. Wow!
A third study conducted by Dr. Dan Simon of UH Case Medical Center suggests that the sooner the stems cells are infused, the more successful the treatment. Patients who were infused three weeks after the heart attack did not enjoy the same level of success as those who received the stem cell therapy almost immediately after the event.
Milles' observations were interesting. When his cells were extracted from inside the heart, he definitely felt the action. A few weeks later, the expanding stem cells were infused in a procedure similar to angioplasty.
When I was first admitted to Columbia Presbyterian, I volunteered for their stem cell research program. Dr. Mancini informed me that because of my previous open-heart surgery I could not be considered for the program. One of the appealing aspects was that the patient did not have to wait for an organ. Had I been an acceptable candidate, I would have started the treatment immediately.
At Stanford, real cases showed that the use of the patient's stem cells to repair the kidneys safely eliminated the need for anti-rejection medications. The stem cells administered to the kidney caused the kidneys to increase their effectiveness and replace damaged areas.
The University of Buffalo
The University of Buffalo submitted a report to the Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association in Orlando on May 15th. The report proved that stem cells administered to the damaged hearts in animals repaired heart function by an average of 30 percent.
John M. Canty Jr. MD and Elizabeth Rekatee, Professor of Medicine presented their research in Orlando. In describing the results of their study, Canty explained, "Whereas most research has focused upon irreversible damage and scarring following a heart attack, we have shown that a single CDC (cardiosphere-derived cells) infusion is capable of improving heart function is areas of the heart that are viable but not function normally."
Canty added that stem cells extracted in biopsies on the animals will expand outside the body. The cells are then infused into the coronary arteries of the same animal suffering from heart failure. The new cells are small but function significantly better than the damaged cells.
Combining this data to the amazing windpipe transplant in Sweden, there is no doubt that this is the direction heart failure will be treated. Soon, the whole transplantation process will be re-evaluated. If I had not received this precious gift and was still waiting, I would try to enter one of the stem cell research programs.
Congratulations to all who have participated and developed these remarkable advancements in heart care.

Kitchen Ventilation System
A typical kitchen ventilation system includes an exhaust hood or canopy, ductwork, fan system, and a means of providing adequate make-up air (air that is lost through the ventilation process). The entire system must constitute a fire-safe assembly within the building. Kitchen fumes are sucked into the hood, travel through vents, and are blown out of the building through the fan system itself. An equal amount of replacement air (or make-up air) from outside is drawn into the kitchen through make-up air vents. further more details or your specific requirment ,please email on email@example.com

Chico was also funny along with Groucho, especially when with Groucho. He was also an excellent pianist. I read that he really played just as well as it seemed when he played his musical pieces in each Marx film. Groucho still the very funniest but Chico was a close second. Two out of Chicos many funny lines include "why a duck" and "get your tootsie fruitsy ice cream"

Chico is totally under rated. A very funny man and beautiful looking out of costume. Not to mention his piano playing! Love him.
Chico has great comedic timing!

There would be no Marx brothers without Chico. He made Groucho and Harpo great with his natural and quick witty comments! Isn't it funny that he is the only one who could translate what Harpo needed to say! Then he spellbounds us with his piano playing! What talent!
By Far the Best of the Marx Brothers...

I heart Chico Marx. I truly do. His "accent" drives me wild, and his comedy does not stop with his funny lines....he is able to portray his talent for comedy through his piano playing. Oh Chico....play me a tune....
Pardon the Drool....
- Leanne

Chico Marx is really cute and funny. I love it when he plays his piano.He has the most gorgeous smile and his eyes just twinkle with mischief. He was truly a dreamboat. He seemed like a real character. They just don't make 'em like him anymore.

book reviews by jean baldridge yates, The Best American Mystery Stories 2015 edited by James Patterson
The Best American Mystery Stories, 2015, edited by James Patterson, crackles with excitement, snaps with intrigue, and pops with entertainment.
I rediscovered what makes short stories great when I read this collection of stories by some of the greatest American authors alive today. The stories have all been previously published in various magazines.They were chosen by famed novelist James Patterson, together with Otto Penzler, who is the regular editor of this series.
Short stories, when as well written as these, have the ability to leave the reader breathless. If they are mysteries, as in The Best American Mystery Stories, 2015, the brevity of the short story structure is a perfect frame for fast paced surprise twists and turns. The authors presented in this book are the masters of their trade.
See what you think of the very first story in the collection, "The Snow Angel" by Doug Allyn. I loved his vivid writing and powerful descriptions of a cop dealing with murder in small town where everyone knows each other. I plan to seek out more of his work. "Red Eye", a collaboration between two authors, Michael Connelly and Dennis LeShane, is a really cool tale of a kidnapping. I could not figure out what was going to happen next, and could not stop reading it.
Many of these stores have very satisfying endings. That is one of the things which is wonderful about mysteries. The resolutions are so great! John M. Floyd's story, "Molly's Plan" is a total gas. What a fast-paced, well told tale of a bank robbery. I loved it! Note that it is one of the stories singled out by James Patterson, in his introduction.
Thomas McGuane has an offering called "Motherlode". His powers of description are both phenomenal and funny.His well fleshed out quirky characters are pure McGuane. His story is set in the West, and reeks of craziness, cows and crime amidst the sagebrush.
Joyce Carol Oates, one of the greatest authors around, is represented here as well.Her story "The Home at Craigmillnar" is harsh and wrenching, but the ending conveys powerful vindication.
Some of these stories can move you strongly. This is not just light reading. It is more than that. This anthology is a beautiful thing if you love to read mysteries in short story form. It goes beyond excellent. It is terrific.
There are twenty stories in The Best American Mystery Stories, 2015. There is a section on the contributors at the end which is wonderful as well.
A five star collection for any mystery lover of any age from 18 on up.
Available for pre-order at Amazon.com.

What Happens After the Training?
No weekend workshop is a fix-all. What we do expect is that perhaps a crack will be opened in the shield that you have covered yourself with, maybe the shield will even break apart completely. The awakening that results from The Adventure can be very powerful … but the ongoing growth in self-awareness and empowerment that can come about by participating in ongoing men's groups, called Integration Groups (I-Group), is the most compelling reason that many of us took the training to begin with. After The Adventure you will be invited to participate in an I-Group.
You will also be invited to join the Global Community of men that is the ManKind Project. Within MKP you can participate in advanced leadership and skill trainings, learn facilitation skills, and participate as staff at any of our trainings. You will also find a wider community of men, women, families and organizations dedicated to making the world a better, safer, more alive place through missions of service.

Kenny thrilled by response to derby defeat
Dundalk boss Stephen Kenny has been delighted his side's response to the derby day battering at the hands of Drogheda United ten-days ago.
The Lilywhites have recorded wins against Coleraine and Limerick since that 4-1 defeat at United Park and Kenny said both victories were very significant.
"The win in Coleraine was huge," he said. "To retrieve the tie, coming from 3-1 down to win 4-3 on aggregate, is something that I don't think has been done in the Setanta Cup before and to follow that up with three points against Limerick is great.
"It must be said that Limerick were without a number of their better players but we were last year when we went to Thomond Park missing Stephen O'Donnell and Patrick Hoban. It was a big win."
Kurtis Byrne came from the bench to head home the winner with just 13 minutes to go. Dundalk were noted for their powers of recovery last season and Kenny said it was a priceless characteristic to have in a team.
"You can't underestimate the value of persistence. The ability to get late goals is a real positive trait to have in your team", he stated.
"It's something we want to maintain. We got a lot of late goals last year through the ability to keep going and a belief in what we're doing and the impact of players coming of the bench is a huge thing for us.
"We didn't panic, we worked our openings and created our chances and it was an important three points. You saw Bray Wanderers turning Sligo over and UCD going close to beating St Pat's so every three points is vitally important."
Kenny also lavished praise on man of the match Darren Meenan who played an integral part in the build up to Byrne's winner against the Super Blues.
"Darren is a player who has been a really late developer in his career. He is a very direct, fast runner and unbelievably tenacious. His crossing is accurate and he had a really good game. He, as much as anyone, too the game to Limerick in the second-half."
Meenan and Daryl Horgan operated on flanks as Kenny deployed an orthodox 4-4-2 system, a change from the 4-2-3-1 that was in place for much of last season.
"We're not set in stone with the way we're going to play. It can be a good thing if you are because everybody comes in and they know their jobs but we have four strikers and we want to utilize them. Players know the 4-4-2 system best I suppose. Last year it was mostly 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 so we have flexibility."
Dundalk's next assignment is their toughest of the campaign to date when they travel to The Showgrounds to face Sligo Rovers on Saturday night. They do so without the services of Mark Rossiter who limped off against Limerick with a nasty looking hamstring injury.
"Mark tore his hamstring and is looking at being out for four to six weeks at least," explained Kenny.
"It's never good to tear a hamstring in full flight. We pride ourselves on not having muscle injuries but it's difficult to have a perfect situation where you don't get any."

Watch President Obama on Zach Galifianakis' BETWEEN TWO FERNS
Zach Galifianakis actually landed an interview with President Barack Obam for his Between Two Ferns web series. I wouldn't think the President of the United States would have the time to do anything like this especially with everything going on in the world right now, but he managed to squeeze it in. I'm glad he did though because this has some really funny moments. It was also used as a way for the President to plug healthcare.gov, but it didn't keep the awkward hilarity from happening. I did love the little twist ending they threw in there as well.

Oskar's original puzzle is electro-mechanical and is driven by a micro-controller. The aim is to press down all the switches. The micro-controller can both pull down and push up switches using springs and four electromagnets. A photo is shown here on the right.
In the applet version the challenge is to switch off four lights. Click below and then select your puzzle from the menu marked Mazes.
Warning: this applet is written in Java 1.3 and may not be supported by older browsers
All OK: is a training challenge. You can always push
any button, which just clicks the associated light on and off.
Wrong move reset: is a simple four-move challenge. But one wrong move and you go back to the start.
PIN code: also has a four-move solution, but this time you do not get immediate feedback that you went down the wrong path. The maze forks like a tree, and just one "leaf" is the exit.
Memory: is a real memory test, requiring fifteen moves to solve, passing through all states. Again, one wrong move and you go back to the start.
Deeper & deeper: is a progressive maze. As you switch a light off a maximum of one light will come back on giving you a feeling of progress through the maze.
Four-Bit maze: is a non-progressive maze. More than one light may come back on in this maze so it's harder to tell how well you're doing.
No sense: is even less progressive than Four-Bit, the change of lights is totally unrelated to the button that you push.
Karnaugh: is like walking through a Karnaugh diagram. As in All OK each button only affects its own light, and you can turn lights both off and on, but this time not all buttons will be enabled.
One way: is similar to Karnaugh. However once you have moved forward by pushing a button, the button will always be left disabled so you cannot simply reverse you last move to try different options.

Kings notes: McLemore works his way out of shooting woes
Ben McLemore recently endured the kind of shooting stretch he'd like to forget.
Over a six-game span, he shot 17.1 percent (6 for 35).
But in his last three games entering Monday night's game against the New Orleans Pelicans, McLemore showed signs of finding his offense. He shot 72.7 percent (16 for 22), including matching his career high with 20 points in Friday's loss at Miami.
The rookie from Kansas credits assistant coach Chris Jent with helping him work his way out of his shooting funk.
"Now, me and coach Jent have been going through this daily routine, a shooting routine that got me back to my rhythm," McLemore said. "Now we're constantly doing it, so hopefully it keeps me shooting consistently and keeps my rhythm going."
As a Cleveland assistant, Jent gained acclaim for helping LeBron James improve his shooting.
The Kings were looking to get McLemore easier shots. The addition of Rudy Gay to go with Isaiah Thomas and DeMarcus Cousins also made McLemore less of a focus of offense.
Some of Jent's work with McLemore focuses on him practicing on getting the ball in scoring areas.
"During pregame, we'll go through different sets on the court, basically going through some of our plays that will go through me in a game," McLemore said.
McLemore said he recognizes the technical flaws that hampered his shooting recently.
"Shooting the ball too fast," McLemore said. "My release was too fast, and I wasn't picking my spots on the floor correctly. But doing this routine is helping me balance right and get back to how I regularly shoot."
Et cetera – Monday's game was the Kings' first meeting with Tyreke Evans since the offseason sign-and-trade that sent him to New Orleans. The player the Kings acquired in that deal, Greivis Vasquez, went to Toronto in the trade that brought Gay, Quincy Acy and Aaron Gray to Sacramento.
• The Kings' Michael Malone faced his former boss in New Orleans, Monty Williams, for the first time as a head coach. As an assistant under Williams, Malone helped New Orleans reach the 2011 playoffs.
• Thomas extended his streak of 3-pointers to 21 games by making one with 5:51 left in the first quarter.
