"Before working with Rena, I saw food as my enemy-and I am thin!! I had been dieting since high school and was so distraught that I could not keep to a healthy eating lifestyle. I was in a state of cognitive dissonance- I knew I should make food choices that honored my health as much as my palette but I couldn't make it happen. When I tried to "eat healthfully" it was with such deprivation that it was unsustainable!
After working with Rena, I feel I am on the right path. I see food as a gift from Hashem that is there to nurture and satisfy me. I know that I can eat any food I want. I have learned to be present when I am eating (first I needed to learn that – yes! – I am meant to sit and enjoy meals). I am empowered to listen to my innate wisdom as to what food I should eat at any given time. I have been exploring many healthy dishes and I am eating the ones I enjoy. I just really enjoyed a salad – frozen strawberries and blueberries, apples, grapes, and a bit of lemonade concentrate. Yum! That's a major upgrade from my apples I ate (as I have learned in my journey that I don't like plain apples and that's OK).
I recommend working with Rena because her sharp yet soothing approach will move you forward on your food journey. Wouldn't it be wonderful to enjoy each and every bite you take? Wouldn't it be wonderful to learn how to nurture your body with healthful food that you enjoy? It can be done!"
– Esther B.
"Before working with you I was very hard on myself in terms of incorporating intuitive eating into my life. After working with you I see it as a much more fluid and pleasant experience. I would recommend working with you because you go above and beyond giving your clients all the time they need and personal guidance on their journey. Thanks!"
– Tova P.
"Yom Tov was a changed experience this year as I thought about what I've learned."
– Mimi S.
"Hi Rena, How are you? Just wanted to check in at the beginning of 5777! First of all thank you for forever changing and improving my eating awareness and habits – definitely something I can chalk up as a positive in the past year. I've incorporated many of the principals into my daily life…keeping me even more aware of what and how I eat and when I feel full… Thank you for all your help and may you be zoche to continue helping women like me for many years!"
– Raizy S.
"I got much more than I thought I'd get 🙂
Most people nowadays give only what they get paid for…
You offer so much – what with the bonus emails and tips, the free class, your inspirational speakers, and the q&a sessions, your website…
I really must say – You Gave Me My Life Back!! I was so stressed out about losing my extra weight I literally couldn't walk on the street without comparing myself to others. I got more confidence and my whole family is enjoying my FREEDOM WITH FOOD!!!!
Thank you so much for doing this!
May you be successful in reaching out there and giving women the precious gift- "peace of mind" which I got bh!!
I thank Hashem for sending me to you and wish you continuous Hatzlacha!"
– Dina R.
"I allow myself to eat foods that I really enjoy. I started eating an occasional slice of pizza again… after about a 15 year absence! YUM. And I don't need 4 slices to make me happy… one fills me up! It's still a wonder that I don't have to eat in secret… if I want "play food," I can have it! I definitely am much more closely in tune with my satiety and hunger signals… not 100% but certainly better. I loved that the program was tailored for the Jewish woman… Our basic issues are the same as everyone else's, but our lifestyle is different enough that it warrants a separate group. Thank you for that."
– Nancy Y.
"I'm learning how to figure out what I need in a situation and to give it to myself instead of turning to food to numb my emotions."
– Batsheva L.
"I did not believe before starting that there was so much value in a group setting. I knew intellectually that there were others with issues like mine, but I had never spoken to anyone like that about these things openly and honestly. But working with a group was more helpful than I would have believed it could have been.
The program specifically addressed something that seemed too basic, but I realize now was not so much Basic as a Basis. Without addressing eating intuition, no other eating program is going to ever work. The program wasn't overbearing, but just helped a little voice awaken in my mind that made me THINK before I ate something. Amazing. I'm 37 years old, but I'm finally getting what my toddlers knew: there's no need to eat if you're not hungry.
Rena is incredibly REAL and is compassionate and empathetic, even as she is undaunted by all of our excuses. She really cares about her clients and their struggles, and really wants every Jewish mother to be healthy, energetic and happy with themselves."
– Miriam R., RBS
"I thought I already knew about everything to do with eating and dieting, and it was enlightening and interesting to discover that I didn't. It was really eye-opening."
– Hadassah M.
"I knew I had a problem with my emotional eating. I had learned of Intuitive Eating and really wanted to explore it. When I heard about Rena's course, I knew I had to try it. Having a group of frum women, led by a frum leader – was just beyond my wildest hopes!
Rena's warm and accepting manner made it safe for me to take my first steps towards being in control of my eating and not having my food control me.
I liked the fact that in our private session, we didn't even talk about food directly; we talked about something that was really underlying my food issue. This gave me the courage to admit some very important private things to myself that I hadn't realized before.
Thank you, Rena. You're a great coach!
PS I also treasure personal connections I have made through the group…such a wonderful group of growing, Torah-oriented women!"
– Faygy N.
"I no longer eat to deal with my stress and I have a great deal of awareness around my eating. I have a feeling of being connected to my body and I am much more in sync with eating the kinds of food and amounts of food that make me feel good. I am calmer and am actually less stressed out – certainly around my health, food and weight issues, but even around other issues. Not eating to deal with stress is forcing me to deal with my stress in a more productive and healthy manner.
If you're thinking about doing this program…JUST DO IT! This is transformative with results that can change, not just how you look, but more importantly, how you feel – for a life time!"
– Rachel H., New York
"Before we started working together I was struggling with my feelings about food and how to prevent and handle binges. After going through Rena's program I feel freer to allow myself to enjoy food. I know that I don't need to always make perfect choices and feel more ok with that. I have less emotional baggage. Overall, I gained more peace with my food choices.
I really enjoyed the classes and learning to eat more intuitively. I feel more authentic and in touch with myself and much less stressed about food."
– Malky B., Chicago
"…I feel empowered to eat when I really want to and to say no when I really don't…I found myself thinking after each session – this makes so much sense!"
– Chani J.
"I've learnt to appreciate a slow pace and not instant gratification. If you want a change in your life approach, this is the place to go. If you want a quick fix to your waist size then its not for you."
– Elisheva A.
"…food is becoming less center-stage in my life and I'm discovering that I have my own unique tastes and preferences in food. I really don't want cakes and sweets the whole day!"
– Deena W.
"Even though I knew what food made me feel good and energized, I was completely at the mercy of cravings for food that made me feel gross and sent me on emotional roller coasters. I learned that when my body sends me strong craving messages it's really just trying to get me to listen and address other needs that I have not been listening to and caring for."
– Sara G.
"…my intention of starting this journey of intuitive eating, [was] to heal my relationship with food and find a healthier balance. I am more able to let go of the "all or nothing" in this area and try to focus on the positive steps that I have been taking."
– Talie S., Yerushalayim
"Listening to other woman speaking about their struggles articulated many of my own questions and personal struggles for me. So many times I laughed out loud with understanding and nodded my head to myself as the woman explored their challenges, even cheering them on to myself."
– Dini A.
"I was struggling with my relationship with food, the feeling of food having control over me instead of the other way around, and not feeling good about myself and how I look. After going through Rena's program it made me realize that food is food and food issues are feelings and insecurities that we attribute to food and eating. Once I started giving myself permission to enjoy food, it didn't have such a hold on me anymore. Overall, I gained more awareness that Hashem puts us in certain situations and makes us a certain way. We can do our hishtadlus up to a point and the rest is up to Him.
If you want to have a healthy relationship with food and yourself, Rena's workshop is a great way to do it!"
– Shaindy L., Beitar

I am not sure that I would call TEDDS a "special purpose" tool. While I won't claim to be an expert on TEDDS (at least not yet), from by brief forray into it, it would appear to operate in a MathCAD like fashion, but more friendly to an engineer. With out a doubt, MathCAD is more powerful when dealing with higher order math stuff. But, for creating engineering calculations, it would appear to be much closer to the mark. TEDDS can be used for ANY type of calculations (structural engineering or not). It does come with a bunch of pre-made "modules" to do many typical structural engineering calculations, but you can also completely ignore the built-in "module" and create your own calculations and calculation templates. And you can actually include graphics (sketches, etc) much easier than MathCAD (or at least you will not end up with a HUGE file like MathCAD). And, unlike Excel, you can "see" your formulas easily. Just some thoughts. Scott On Tue, 30 Jan 2001, Bill Polhemus wrote: > > Someone else mentioned TEDDS.

Product Description
"Want to Identify With Ease Different Types of Lottery Combinations and Know What to Do With Each When You See Them Fall? Here's How to Win More in Your Pick 34 Lottery Games!"
Top Lottery Strategist SBIP999 spills the beans on how newbies and seasoned players alike can master the games using 9 simple tips and insider strategies that absolutely work.
Get full details at our 9 Tips Guide Sales page here
Taking you by the hand and walking you through the forest of "Twin Digits", "Mates", "Doubles", "Mirrors" and "GT9 Values", leading lottery strategist Ama Maynu (alias SBIP999) has produced a comprehensive, no fluff, and no nonsense lottery manual for serious students of the Pick 3 Cash 4 Lottery Games.
Whether you are a newbie or seasoned player, you will learn something new to catapult your game to the next level in this long-awaited Guide. Guaranteed!
Want to know which single pairs like to turn into doubles? Or the best time of the month to play your high payout triples and quads, or triples in the Pick 4? This Guide spills the beans from a leader in producing calendar-based lottery predictions.
At least six (6) new SBIP999 previously unpublished lottery strategies are unveiled. In addition, you get exclusive insights into the Master Digit 9, which will make finding your pairs and trios as easy as 1-2-3.
But, perhaps best of all for Pick 4 Players especially, Maynu lets you in on a previously well-guarded secret on how to use "resistant versus non resistant" digits to win more in the Pick 4. This exclusive concept–discovered after years of study–is so basic, and works so well to find your pairs in the Pick 3 and your trios in the Pick 4, that you will wonder how you ever made a playlist without it.
Tip #6 alone–which allows you to distinguish the different types of lottery combinations that fall in your non-computerized, mechanical ball drawings–is worth the price of admission to this Guide.
This Chapter is so important to your success in the Pick 4 that SBIP999 gives you four unique strategies to put it to use immediately.
In the author's own words:
"This Guide is the answer to many of my customers who have asked me repeatedly when I planned to publish my '12 Weeks to Pick 3 Mastery' Course which I have been threatening to do for years.
"But this book is better than such a course for two major reasons: number one, you get to go through the book at your own speed. And, number 2, you will not have to pay for it weekly or monthly, but it comes delivered with a one-off, one time price for all the valuable lessons contained within.
"I learned so much while penning these winning tips based on proven number laws — tips that can make a big difference in your game when you put them to good use. And, yes, I am thrilled at the new "JMIU Lottery Strategy" that was unveiled in the Bonus Chapter of the Guide! Can't wait to try it out in the Carolinas," Maynu said.

Fix, by Ferrett Steinmetz
"America's long sent its best SMASH agents overseas to deal with the European crisis. As of today, they decided dismantling your operation was more important than containing the Bastogne Broach. Now you're dealing with the real professionals."
Paul Tsabo: Bureaucromancer. Political activist. Loving father. His efforts to decriminalize magic have made him the government's #1 enemy – and his fugitive existence has robbed his daughter of a normal life.
Aliyah Tsabo-Dawson: Videogamemancer. Gifted unearthly powers by a terrorist's magic. Raised by a family of magicians, she's the world's loneliest teenager – because her powers might kill anyone she befriends.
The Unimancers: Brain-burned zombies. Former 'mancers, tortured into becoming agents of the government's anti-'mancer squad. An unstoppable hive-mind.
When Paul accidentally opens up the first unsealed dimensional broach on American soil, the Unimancers lead his family in a cat-and-mouse pursuit all the way to the demon-haunted ruins of Europe – where Aliyah is slowly corrupted by the siren call of the Unimancers…

Necrotech, by K. C. Alexander
Street thug Riko has some serious issues — memories wiped, reputation tanked, girlfriend turned into a tech-fuelled zombie. And the only people who can help are the mercenaries who think she screwed them over.
In an apathetic society devoid of ethics or regulation, where fusing tech and flesh can mean a killing edge or a killer conversion, a massive conspiracy is unfolding that will alter the course of the human condition forever. With corporate meatheads on her ass and a necro-tech blight between her and salvation, Riko is going to have to fight meaner, work smarter, and push harder than she's ever had to. And that's just to make it through the day.

Twilight of the Dragons, by Andy Remic
During a recent dwarf civil-war deep under the Karamakkos Mountains, the magick-enslaved dragonlords have broken free from centuries of imprisonment and slaughtered tens of thousands throughout the Five Havens before exploding from the mountain and heading in fire and vengeance for the lands of Vagandrak.
Two once-noble war heroes of Vagandrak – Dakeroth and his wife Jonti Tal, an archer and scholar, the Axeman, the White Witch and a Kaalesh combat expert find themselves in a unique position: for they have discovered the ancient dragon city of Wyrmblood, and a thousand unhatched dragon eggs.
Dakeroth and his companions must work with their enemies, Skalg and the Church of Hate, in order to bring down the dragonlords and save the world of men and dwarves. But there is no bartering with these ancient dragons; for they seek to hatch their eggs and rebuild the cruel Wyrmblood Empire of legend.

Published: March 16, 1986
Bernard Mitchell scored 8 points in the final minutes yesterday and sparked Abraham Lincoln of Brooklyn to its first Public Schools Athletic League championship in 37 years. But when the 61-52 victory over Manhattan Center in the Class A final was completed at St. John's Alumni Hall, the game's offensive hero said it was the defense that had made the difference.
''Coach told us we were letting them get inside, so we cut that off,'' Mitchell said. ''We started getting it inside ourselves, and that's when we took charge.''
Earlier, Graphic Arts converted two free throws with no time remaining to defeat Campus, 64-63, and win the Class B championship, and Bergtraum won the girl's title by defeating James Madison, 47-39. Hard-Fought Victory
For Lincoln, which won 23 of 26 games this season but had not won a city title since 1949, the achievement was not easily gained. Manhattan Center (23-4), considered to be the more individually talented team, led by 28-27 at the half. Then Lincoln went ahead, 38-34, in the second half, but Center, behind Tracey Murray, who topped all scorers with 21 points, scored 6 straight points to take a 40-38 lead.
From there, Murray and his teammates couldn't find room inside, and Mitchell sparked the Railsplitters at the offensive end, first with a corner jumper, then with two inside moves for baskets. His two free throws with 1 minute 44 seconds remaining gave Lincoln a 54-46 lead, and careful ballhandling and clutch free throw shooting protected it. It didn't hurt Lincoln when Murray fouled out with 1:15 to play.
Mitchell finished with 15 points, second best for Lincoln behind Sean Williams, who had 18.
In the B final, Graphic (13-4) trailed by 63-55 with 1:34 remaining, but Campus began missing free throws. The Cougars failed on their last four attempts and Graphic scored 7 straight points to make it 63-62 with nine seconds remaining. Fouled at Buzzer
Teddy Parker of Campus then missed the front end of a one-and-one and Graphic controlled the rebound. Graphic worked the ball to Rob Thomas, whose shot from the lane was blocked. He grabbed his own rebound, however, and was fouled while shooting as the buzzer sounded.
Thomas stepped to the free line with 0:00 on the clock and a chance to bring his team victory, overtime or defeat.
''I was confident,'' he said after the game. ''I was shaking, too. I'm still shaking.''
Thomas swished both free throws and the Devils were champions.
Andre Foreman led the Devils with 15 points. Paul Greaves scored 22 for Campus.
The girl's game matched two once-defeated teams, and the outcome wasn't decided until the fourth period. Nancy Taormina, a 5-foot-5-inch guard who led all scorers with 19 points, was the difference. She gave Bergtraum (21-1) the lead with 6:40 to play when she hit from 18 feet out. Her subsequent 15-foot jumper made it 34-29, and Madison, never got closer. Madison finished at 26-2.

Rent advertisements: Advertising in the real estate sector informs vast, unknown readers about property on sale, to be purchased, leased or rented. Thistakes diverse shapes and ranges from displays covering full-page front-page and jackets to similar advertising inside and also smaller ones like half-page, quarter-page and the like. The smallest is the classified ad which is of two types which appear only on the classified page of a newspaper: a) classified which are purely text ads; and b) classified display in which small visuals like the logo can accompany the text.
Depending on the newspaper, classified ads are restricted to the number of lines occupied by the text. For instance, in the Hindustan Times classified text format, 125 characters are counted as 5 lines. Here, abbreviations are the best friend when running newspaper ads. After exceeding the limit, advertisers are required to pay for the cost of 6 lines and more as per the character limit.
The advertisements are put out by those actually in need like prospective buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants and the like. Among big sellers are builders where real estate brokers act intermediaries between sellers and buyers of property and therefore put in their own advertisements.
There are two main segments for targeting real estate advertisements. One is according to area – such North Delhi or Rajasthan or Indore. The other is according to kind of property – industrial, commercial, institutional, residential, agricultural or any other.
A Property/To-let advertisement booked for rent or for sale in a newspaper has a wide reach depending on the newspaper or the edition chosen by the advertiser. Developers advertise for their upcoming projects to invite investors, financers as well as the end-users.
Classified advertisements for sale and rent are published in newspaper supplements of the main paper on specific days – e.g. Hindustan Times (HT Estate on Saturdays), The Times of India (Property Times on Saturdays).
In a newspaper advertisement, the most important features of the property are mentioned to make the important features of the property known to the readers. To ensure that the advertisement reaches the largest audience possible within the budget, correct choice of newspaper should be made for a proper response. There are various offers in the property segment. The client can choose from these available offers on myadvtcorner.com
Property Advertisement can be booked in any of the following sub-categories:

Well, this month wasn't exactly the month I was hoping for, running wise. I felt like I was getting back into the swing of things when I last tallied my weekly mileage, but then I woke up the day after I wrote that post very, very sick. I thought maybe I could run through it, but my body said no to even really short runs.
Once I was feeling a bit better, I tried a few three mile runs leading into the next week, but some crazy days of house renovation really threw off my running that week as well.
From there, well, I decided I had to be honest with where my conditioning really was at that point. My training has just felt so inconsistent since August. So, I decided to go back to the early days and slowly build back up my mileage, keeping with four days on, three days off.
This past week was a lot of fun since a good friend from the Bay Area was in town. I'll call her L. L and I ran together a lot when I lived in the Bay Area, so it was natural for us to make time to run together while she was visiting. Even though I was nervous that I might be doing too many longer runs too soon, running with friends felt great. And, because I was again only running four days, my total mileage at the end of the week was actually right where I wanted it to be.
Note to self: I should really find ways to run with friends more often!
I plan to aim for five days on this coming week and continue from there. Here's to hoping I can turn this inconsistency into a consistent build up so that I can get back to some real mileage!

The Clemson University Alumni Association Distinguished Service Award honors individuals dedicated to enhancing the quality and value of the university. On March 31, Dr. Perry Sprawls was awarded the DSA. With research on using nuclear medicine to detect cancer and other abnormalities, Perry Sprawls received Clemson's first Ph.D. in Bioengineering in 1968. He already had a Clemson Bachelor's degree in physics, a minor in engineering and a Master's degree in nuclear science. The degrees were the foundation of a career devoted to the science and engineering of medical imaging and radiology. His 45-year tenure on the faculty of Emory University School of Medicine concluded in 2005 with the title of Distinguished Emeritus Professor. At Emory, a major focus of his effort was development of educational programs and resources to support the many new developments in medical imaging technology including mammography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Simultaneously, he conducted research and development in using technology to improve the educational process, for which he received national and international innovation awards.
Dr. Sprawls realized that his Clemson education and extensive clinical medical imaging experience at Emory would be of value to the entire world, especially to emerging market economies, as new imaging methods were becoming available. For 25 years, this has been a major effort for Dr. Sprawls. The Sprawls Educational Foundation is the organization under which much of this work is accomplished. The Foundation also collaborates with national and international scientific organizations. Dr. Sprawls's extensive collection of educational materials, including textbooks, online modules, and high-quality visuals for classroom use, the Sprawls Resources, are freely available. These resources are used in the Sprawls Collaborative Teaching Network, through which Dr. Sprawls supports development of medical imaging education programs and teachers worldwide. His has taught face-to-face in classrooms in 15 countries, to students from over 50 countries. As Dr. Sprawls notes, through his continuing efforts, "Clemson Bioengineering Tiger Paw Prints are all over the world."
Guigen Zhang, Professor of Bioengineering at Clemson University and President of the Institute of Biological Engineering, talks to Jenny Bourne of Clemson University about his new textbook, Integrative Engineering, and his vision for re-Engineering for our time.
Jeannette Rodriguez, a student of Dr. Vladimir Reukov, took 2nd place in the 2017 Conference Poster Competition with "Towards The Prevention Of Oxidative Damage Via Novel Antioxidant Conjugates."
In 2014, Dylan was awarded two years of support through Medical University of South Carolina's National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute T32, "Training to Improve Cardiovascular Therapies." He re-applied for an additional year, and in 2017 was awarded a 3rd year on the training grant.
Asked about his research, Dylan, a student of Dr. Ying Mei of the Clemson-MUSC Bioengineering Program, said: "My PhD research has focused on engineering human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte (hiPSC-CM) microtissues to address the major challenges in cardiac-tissue engineering solutions for heart failure. I have addressed advancing the maturation of hiPSC-CMs and creating a more biomimetic model using cardiac organoids that incorporate cell-cell, cell-matrix, and structural (e.g., vessels) components in the heart."
Dylan enjoys collaborating with his lab mates and others. "Two minds are better than one, especially in the field of bioengineering. In the end, the freedom I have in Dr. Mei's lab to work across projects/field has encouraged me to strengthen my own capabilities to better contribute to the next project." Outside the lab, Dylan likewise enjoys spending time with friends and volunteering. "When I'm not working, I enjoy helping others, whether it's helping someone move (there's always somebody moving in Charleston), helping out homeless friends, and most recently using my French minor from college to help translate/teach English for a local Congolese refugee family. I also really enjoy being in the ocean, playing strategy board games (Killer Bunnies=best game), playing percussion/piano in jam bands, growing vegetables, and a million other things."
According to the NIH, the T32 award helps ensure a diverse, highly trained workforce to meet the Nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. The T32 provides a strong foundation in research design, methods, and analytic techniques; training to conceptualize research problems; experience in research, presentation, and publication; interaction with the scientific community; and enhanced understanding of the health-related sciences.
A United States Army combat veteran and current BIOE Ph.D. student, Ryan's research focuses on the development of a tissue engineering scaffold to assist in the repair and regeneration of intervertebral discs in people suffering from back pain. He describes his life and work:
"By supporting me in pursuit of a doctorate in bioengineering, The National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP) has allowed me to continue my research, which focuses on the development of a tissue-engineered device for intervertebral disc repair. This medical device works to promote tissue regeneration of an intervertebral disc through incorporation of biologic tissue and human stem cells. I have the opportunity to work for an advisor (Dr. Jeremy Mercuri) who ensures that our research always has a translational aspect to it. We never lose sight that at the end of the day, we are trying to help patients through basic science studies and the development of biomaterials and stem cell technologies. With Dr. Mercuri's mentorship, my wife's ongoing love and support, and the NSF GRFP, I am able to focus on research that will one day improve the quality of life for future generations."
Hubbell Lighting Inc., a world leader in lighting innovation, and the Hubbell Foundation have pledged $250,000 to Clemson University to establish the Hubbell Foundation Engineering Scholarship Endowment.
A celebration at Clemson this week honored the first five engineering students to receive scholarships as part of the endowment.

Dr. Guigen Zhang (right) and Korean delegates to the 2016 Annual Conference of the Institute of Biological Engineering held in Greenville, SC.
On January 1, 2017, Guigen Zhang, Professor and Associate Chair for Program Development and Outreach, Department of Bioengineering; and Executive Director, Institute of Biological Interfaces of Engineering, began his term as president of the Institute of Biological Engineering. Here, Zhang shares his vision on the possibility of a biological revolution and his belief in solving worldwide problems through convergence. IBE, a professional society, was started in 1995.
For 21 plus years, IBE has been supporting the community of scientists and engineers who are at the forefront of creating new linkages between biology and engineering: It seeks far-reaching opportunities for connecting with people and developing designs and educational perspectives through biology-inspired engineering. To me, what sets IBE apart from many other professional societies is its focus on addressing the grand challenges (or, the biggest problems, in Bill Gates's words) of our times — sustainable food, energy, and environmental systems and quality health — rather than on advancing any specific scientific discipline, by using inclusive approaches through the broadest network of partners from all fields of life sciences, physical sciences, engineering, etc.
As president, I plan to energize the IBE leadership team and members and forge coalitions with sister societies to make a dent in bringing on the much anticipated Biological Revolution for the 21 st century (in reference to the Industrial Revolution and Digital Revolution of the past two centuries). I plan to use IBE as a professional platform to bring awareness of the increasing importance of transdisciplinary integration of life sciences, physical sciences and engineering for developing deeper understanding of complex living systems and for engineering novel solutions to address the grand challenges of our times — sustainable food, energy, and environmental systems and quality health in the spirit of seeking convergence.
For example, we have defined the theme of the 2017 IBE Annual Conference to promote convergence in several topical areas including synthetic biology, tissue engineering, nanotechnology, biosensors, biomaterials, metabolic engineering, environmental engineering, bioprocessing engineering and bioenergetics, among others. With support from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, I will host a special session on "Convergence for Advancing Regulatory Science" with an invited panel of influential scientists, engineers, regulators and think-tank members to engage the audience to brainstorm the meaning, needs, ethics and challenges of regulatory science and identify best practices to advance regulatory science and innovation through convergence of disciplines. Moreover, to instill this in future movers and shakers, we plan a Bioethics Essay Contest for graduate and undergraduate students on issues involved in regulatory science, approval of drugs and therapeutic devices and ways to advance regulatory science in the spirit of seeking convergences.
In my mind, the most important challenge facing today's biological engineers is the same one facing all other engineers, that is, to break away from the disciplinary confinement of learning, exploring and innovating. In a textbook to be published in March 2017, I devote the first chapter to laying out my arguments and suggestions for promoting a transdisciplinary way of engineering and innovating. Biological engineering actually is well positioned to overcome this challenge. I strongly believe that we can be much more effective and productive in tackling the biggest problems of our time if we pay attention to the common threads and hidden interdependencies among food, energy, the environment and health.
Some of the new frontiers of biological engineering involve synthetic biology and genetic engineering. The knowledge made in these fields will offer groundbreaking opportunities to advance the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, among others. Take the scaffolds needed in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, for example: If they no longer have to be constructed using synthetic materials or demineralized tissues, but can be made of biological and/or genetic materials instead, many of the difficulties hindering realization of the bounteous promises of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine could be eliminated. Along the way, imagine how many new possibilities and paradigms the field of biological engineering could offer for solving health, food, energy and environmental problems with the fewest unintended consequences.
Introduction to Integrative Engineering by Guigen Zhang
CRC Press
The 2017 Annual Meeting of the Institute of Biological Engineering will be in Salt Lake City, Utah, March 30-April 1, 2017.
Dr. William Richardson and his lab were recently awarded a Scientist Development Grant from the American Heart Association to support highly promising beginning scientists in cardiovascular and stroke research. The $231,000 grant will support investigation of mechano-adaptive cell signaling related to cardiac healing after a heart attack. According to Dr. Richardson, "Our lab is using a computer model of scar healing to test the effects of potential drugs that could allow us to control, based on local mechanical forces, where, when, and how much scar is deposited. Such a drug would improve cardiac function after a heart attack. Furthermore, we will continue developing the computer model as a tool to predict effects of numerous drugs and devices on long-term scar structure."
BIOE and Honors College senior Joey Wilson has been named a Schwarzman Scholar. Often referred to as the Rhodes Scholarship to China, the Schwarzman will send 129 men and women from 30 countries to study for one year at Tsinghua University in Beijing.
Chad McMahan, the department's Histology Lab manager and officer for safety and compliance, was recognized by the National Society for Histotechnology at its 42nd annual NSH Symposium in Long Beach, California, September 18-21, 2016. The society's Helping Hand Award recognized McMahan's excellence in sharing scientific and technical knowledge in the histology community.
McMahan has just completed a two-year term as president of the SC Society of Histology Technicians. He said, "I value leadership in both members and officers. Encouraging students to be thinkers and leaders in their profession is my greatest contribution as president." McMahan presided over the state's 2016 meeting of histologists at Litchfield, SC, November 3-6. Activities included hosting career days for over 200 students from five high schools in the Pawley's Island area. Beginning with lectures covering histology fundamentals and pathological diagnosis, the experience provided several wet-lab workstations including microtomy, cryotomy, staining, microscopy slide review and hands-on exploration of biomaterial implants. The experience complemented STEM activities held at each school. Of his term in office, McMahan said, "Participating on the state and national level greatly encourages me because I have the opportunity to support, challenge and connect with my peers. My greatest desire is that cancer research will continue locally, statewide and across the world."
As a member of the department's research staff, McMahan has a range of responsibilities. "I ensure that students working in the histology labs have proper training. I assist with sample preservation, sectioning samples with biomedical implant devices and staining slides with various techniques. I assist in all methodologies of histology fundamentals to produce a slide with values of complete sample morphology and cellular details. Graduate and undergraduate students encourage me to stretch my limits to assist them with great challenges. Repeating experiments, sectioning difficulties and staining variabilities are several roadblocks that students face. My duties include being research safety liaison and manager of our $10M inventory. Through our department, I collaborate with researchers and students from CECAS, CAFLS and CES.
Regarding his role as safety officer, McMahan stated, "We consistently ensure safety showers and eye washes are functioning properly. Fire extinguishers and other aspects of building safety compliance are monitored. We keep accurate training logs for all students who complete required safety modules. Safety is top priority when researchers and students are involved with biologics and the chemicals required in bioengineering research. We train, train and re-train to insure student compliance. Students are our greatest asset: I would not do what I do without our students.
Always seeking the best ways to communicate with future bioengineers, the department specified a traveling exhibit that debuted at the 2016 BMES annual meeting. The exhibit includes a 10 ft. truss for three vertical banners, adjustable tabletops, a monitor mount, a counter and spotlights. Assembly is toolless. According to Graduate Student Services Coordinator Maria Torres, the exhibit is "techie, slick and vibrant. The crowd in Minneapolis was impressed and had very good comments about our video and the ability to fill out a short online application on site." As Team BIOE, Torres and several graduate students managed the display throughout the meeting, encouraging passersby to enter a raffle for Clemson headphones, take a set of tiger paw logo retractable earbuds, talk with Clemson students, and apply online.

Dr. Dooley earned his B.S. in mechanical engineering at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. He completed his Master's work at Clemson University and in 1976, finished his Doctorate in bioengineering there. He was named professor of bioengineering at Clemson in 1985. Dr. Dooley served as Interim Vice President for Research at Clemson. In this role, he oversaw research and sponsored activities campus-wide. Earlier, Dr. Dooley was named Interim Dean of the College of Engineering and Science. In that capacity, he led 14 academic departments and an enrollment of 5,000 students, with 23 undergraduate and 45 graduate degree programs. Prior to his role as interim dean, Dr. Dooley served as Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies for the then College of Engineering and Science. He coordinated the college's graduate-level activities—including oversight of the college's research centers, alliances, and institutes.
Dr. Dooley's vision was that founding alliances among state institutions of higher education would strengthen the state's bid to attract research funding and increase collaborative relationships. The South Carolina Bioengineering Alliance (SCBA) was established by the state Commission on Higher Education in 1985 among Clemson University, the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), and the University of South Carolina (USC). From 1986-1994, Dr. Dooley directed the Alliance. Its mandate is to lead the state-wide initiative to promote and strengthen bioengineering research, education, and technology transfer. It so acts today, serving to organize and activate alliances that support the organization's mandate.
In 1998, Dr. Dooley played a major role in convincing the National Science Foundation to fund the Center for Advanced Engineering Fibers and Films (CAEFF) at Clemson University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Industrial partners were 3M, Amoco Performance Products, Clark-Schwebel, Dow, DuPont, PPG, Shell, Owens Corning and others. Investigators explored how fiber and film industries can speed development of new products through innovative computer modeling. The center made it easier for engineers to visualize film and fiber design on a molecular level and then plan a clear developmental pathway to manufacture the finished product. The center created a new model for collaboration between engineers and computational scientists.
In 2003, Dr. Dooley saw another of his projects come to fruition: An educational and research partnership between Clemson and MUSC was formally recognized by both schools. Sowing the seeds of this program, Dr. Dooley foresaw that the value that would accrue to each school would far exceed what either could amass alone. This value is manifested today in award-winning students and multidisciplinary and translational research.
Simultaneously, Dr. Dooley was working on a public-private partnership, and in 2004, the legislature designated this undertaking as Regenerative Medicine Center of Economic Excellence. All three of the state's research universities (Clemson, MUSC, USC) entered into an association with private entities Health Sciences South Carolina and BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina Foundation. The center's goals are fostering basic research in genetics, proteogenomics, developmental biology, cell biology, and physiology of stem cells; translating the research into novel therapies; collaborating with the private sector to develop business innovation research grants; and establishing predoctoral and postdoctoral training programs in stem cell technology, developmental biology, biomaterials and tissue engineering.
In 2009, Dr. Dooley was instrumental in forging the state's then most comprehensive public alliance as he joined representatives of nine other South Carolina institutions of higher education. The group persuaded the National Science Foundation to fund the South Carolina Project for Organ Biofabrication through a Research Infrastructure Improvement Grant. The statewide alliance in the field of tissue biofabrication included Claflin University, Clemson University, Denmark Technical College, Furman University, Greenville Technical College, the Medical University of South Carolina, South Carolina State University, the University of South Carolina, the University of South Carolina Beaufort, and Voorhees College. The South Carolina Project's goal was to build scientific, technological, and educational capacity for the biofabrication of human organs by advancing intellectual and physical infrastructure. Dr. Dooley was Clemson's PI on this integrated plan to implement a statewide vision to give South Carolina a competitive edge in the field of biofabrication.
Dr. Dooley was also key in building the public-private partnership, the SmartState Advanced Tissue Biofabrication Center of Economic Excellence. The center continues and sustains the work and values of the National Science Foundation award.
According to Dr. Martine LaBerge, Clemson's current chair of the Department of Bioengineering, "Professor Dooley serves as an exemplary role model of leadership and engagement. His vision has led to the development of the Clemson-MUSC Bioengineering Program, among many other large state-wide programs strengthening collaborations among institutions. His collegiality has been motivating. His dedication to students has been and will continue to be an inspiration to all."
Recently appointed assistant professor of bioengineering Dr. Brian Booth received another vote of confidence on October 17, 2016. For the third time, Tiger football coach Dabo Swinney's All In Team Foundation funded Booth's proposed breast cancer research. The foundation has been behind Booth from his first studies showing that tannic acid, a naturally occurring anticancer agent, kills ER+ and HER2+ breast cancer cells at a greater rate than normal breast cells.
According to Booth, "We are working to develop an injectable matrix of small collagen beads and tannic acid that will facilitate tissue regeneration following a lumpectomy. When a patient's own cells grow on the matrix of beads, the anticancer agent will be released, killing any residual cancer cells and inhibiting tumor recurrence." The first year of the new grant will allow the Booth lab to perform laboratory experiments to refine the matrix. In the grant's second year, Booth's lab will translate the results into preliminary animal experiments.
Booth describes graduate Lauren Jordan, who finished her M.S. degree in bioengineering working on this project with the support of Dabo's All-In Team Foundation, with pride. "We have been able to present the research at international scientific conferences including the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting and the Biomedical Engineering Society Annual Meeting. We have published two scientific papers about our results so far, have another accepted for publication, and a fourth is currently being prepared for submission." He added, "Potentially, this research could translate to other soft tissue cancers such as melanoma. The matrix will also be applicable to soft tissue regeneration such as after injury or trauma."
Dr. Dan Simionescu, the Harriet and Jerry Dempsey Professor of Bioengineering, was recently awarded a new R56 grant for "Tissue engineering and regeneration of the aortic root" from the National Institutes of Health. This $410k, "High Priority, Short Term Project Award" from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute will support efforts to regenerate heart valves using scaffolds, stem cells and bioreactors. The research team is comprised of Dr. Jeffrey Gimble and Dr. Bruce Bunnell of Tulane University and LaCell LLC, Dr. Leslie Sierad of Aptus LLC in Clemson, Dr. Jun Liao of Mississippi State University and Dr. Chris Wright, thoracic surgeon at the Greenville Health System.
Clemson Bioengineering will be highly represented at the SCBIO Annual Conference November 10-11, 2016 in Greenville. Not only will our students show leadership and entrepreneurial engagement, they will also use this opportunity for networking with biotech industry.
A Clemson University professor who plays a key role in bringing together some of South Carolina's leading minds for bioengineering research is the new Ernest R. Norville Endowed Chair in Biomedical Engineering. Hai Yao's appointment comes as the result of a $1.5-million gift from Mitch and Carla Norville. Mitch Norville received a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Clemson in 1980, and the endowed chair is named after his father.

These are the iOS Enhanced Frameworks
The world neither stays the same and nor does the iOS. We've witnessed several iOS updates in the recent times and the latest iOS 9 framework update promises a revolutionary change and enhancements as well. So, it is necessary for every mobile app developer to have an idea of what's new it has for them.
Here we've put together an overview of new iOS 9 SDK frameworks that will help you build mobile apps on par by using the best of the enhanced functionalities.
So, lets' take a look at them.
UIKit framework
The most significant enhancements provided in this package are:
- – UIStackView class now allows you to manage subviews and arrange them vertically and horizontally without having to use the Auto Layout directly.
- – A new method called UIApplicationDelegate allows for an open-in-place functionality.
- – NSLayourAnchor and NSLayoutDimension classes along with layout anchors allow you to define layout constraints in high-level abstractions.
- – Now you can use dummy views with the help of many Auto layout techniques through the new LayoutGuide class.
WKWebView and Safari View Controller
WebView, which was included first in the iOS 8 version is now upgraded with new features, thus it will make mobile app development easy.
You can now:
- – Load an HTML file securely
- – Load binary data and its MIME type
- – Override user agent string
Another new class WKWebsiteDataStore has been added to the framework and this class enables you to manage cookies and other data stored by websites.
SFSafariViewController is another new class that will let you implement an in-app browsing experience by supporting a lot of added functionality like Safar Reader, content blocking, safari UI and user data sharing.
Core Data
The API enhancements made are:
- – NSManagedObject allows you to check any modifications to an object and retrieve the IDs of objects.
- – Objects can be deleted without having to load them into memory and the persistent store can also be destroyed. Deleting objects have become more flexible.
- – Lightweight migrations are more reliable now.
HealthKit adds a whole new range of data types like water intake, UV exposure, and six types of reproductive health types in addition to the old ones. It gives you a better insight into data sources and thus data handling can be optimized for the better.
Home management has been taken to the next level with the help of the HomeKit framework in iOS 9. A targeted delegate has been added and the previous user management API has been deprecated.
The new APIs provided by MapKit allow you to
- – Customize pin colors
- – Define a callout view via a custom view
- – Show or hide traffic information
- – Show or hide map scale information
- – Show or hide compass
- – Derive expected time and arrival time of a transit
- – Launch map in a transition mode
- – Display flyover maps for 3D photo model of various places and landmarks
UIKit Dynamics
The UIKit Dynamics enables iOS application development service providers to add realistic physics effect and it includes:
- – Bezier bounds
- – Grouping multiple items into a single unit
- – Model vector force fields
- – Radial gravity, spring field, magnetic fields and electric fields
- – New attachment behaviors that let you limit, slide and pin attachment.
Visual Effects
The UIKVisualEffectView framework supports for an easy animation and includes features like the blur and diagnostic pseudo-methods.
Core Audio
The AVAudioEngine introduced in iOS 8 has been upgraded with features like Splitting support, Audio format conversion support and playback of MIDI files.
Some enhancements included are listed below:
- – Improved metal integration
- – Ability to use the same filters across platforms
- – Face detection, QR code detection and shape detection from images.
- – Color management
Core Motion
Core Motion includes new features like Pace, cadence and Pressure sensing that will help you provide a better user experience.
Metal is not a new framework and iPhone app development service providers must have some experience with it. Now you can make even more use of it with its new metal feature sets and constant updates. It also comes with a new memory model that can work in various modes like private storage mode, shared mode and managed shared mode.
SpriteKit comes with new tools like texture atlas, particle editor, Xcode Quicklook, 2D editor and a new Action editor. Integration has been made smoother and action control has given a whole new set of possibilities.
Multitasking enhancements are available only with the recent versions of iPad devices like iPad Mini 2 and 3, iPad Air 1 and 2. Features like slide over, split view and Picture in Picture mode allow for cool multitasking, proving fruitful iOS application development services.
However, mobile app development solutions providers must know that multitasking puts some restrictions on CPU and memory usage and use of screen bounds to determine the app's visible area is no more relevant.
So, which framework you liked the most? Do you have any questions to ask or have any comments? Please feel free to leave your comments below and thanks for reading!

CCHS strives to align volunteer opportunities with current Society needs and initiatives. We find this makes volunteering more purposeful and meaningful for all involved. We also find that many volunteers lead busy lives and that a rigid volunteer schedule is not always practical for the volunteer or even CCHS staff. To help address this challenge, CCHS posts its most urgent and pressing volunteer needs at www.timetosignup.com and we ask that interested persons first consult and utilize this online form, especially if you are just getting to know CCHS. An email notice is sent to staff when you use the form…don't worry, we will be expecting you!
If the opportunities listed on the time to sign up calendar don't seem quite right for you, email us at email@example.com and we will put you in touch with an appropriate department to consult about moving forward. In the email, specifically address your interests and also your skills and experience. Depending on your roll, we will have a simple form for you to fill out at CCHS once we meet. Volunteers working directly with families and children will need to fill out appropriate federal and state child protection forms.
Local history is replete with events, people, places and objects that have helped to shape not only local Cumberland County history but also the history of our state and nation. Understanding and appreciating our past can help us to understand the world we live in today. When people walk through the doors at CCHS, they are provided with an important link to the past. They come in contact with artifacts and documents that tell the stories of evolving lives, a changing world and the ideas and dreams that shaped our country.
Open to all majors, internships at CCHS provide structured learning experiences that contribute to the preservation and sharing of Cumberland County history and heritage. Interns will acquire unique, hands-on professional experience in fields such as research, archival skills, curatorial work, along with an understanding of how non-profit organizations operate. A typical internship provides the student with a self-directed project while also being involved in day-to- day operations at CCHS. Projects are determined based on the interests of the student and the needs of the CCHS. Internships in our different departments include the museum, library, programming, publications, or educational outreach. Past interns have researched and written articles for our Journal, created and contributed to exhibits, developed and assisted in programs for students and the public, created finding aids for the collection, organized and cataloged collections and even assisted in History on High the Society's gift shop or G.B.

The houses, identical in every detail, will be used to compare the efficiency of domestic heating systems. They have been built by the energy research and development company EA Technology, at its site in Capenhurst, near Chester.
Proving a domestic heating system is more energy-efficient than another usually involves expensive field work using test systems in real houses. 'The problem is there are too many variables,' says David Strong, director of EA Technology's energy and buildings division.
Even if the houses are similar, the occupants live differently: - they like different temperatures, and close windows and doors at different times. 'If you've got a big enough sample you can begin to draw something out of it,' Dr Strong says.
The houses will have resident poltergeists - or systems for mechanically opening doors and windows, and drawing curtains. Heaters will simulate heat output from cooking and television sets, and people will be represented by 60-watt bulbs, which Dr Strong says throw out as much heat as the average body. Both four-bedroom houses will be subjected to identical regimes, allowing the efficiency of one heating system to be compared with another. Data will provide the independent proof manufacturers need to qualify their products to be subsidised by the Energy Savings Trust.
The trust, set up by the Government 18 months ago to help the UK meet its commitments to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, gives pounds 200 grants to householders who instal heating systems that are recognised as energy-efficient.
Dr Strong says he is confident the simulation of 'family life' in the houses is realistic. 'We have 30 years of experience doing this type of measurement with real people.' The houses were designed to the latest building regulations, published last month. 'In thermal terms they are typical of the houses that will be built in the next 5 to 10 years.'
Because temperatures inside the houses can be finely controlled it will be possible to simulate a full annual cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter in a few weeks, regardless of the external temperature. Building work finished six weeks ago, and the houses are now being calibrated to ensure they are thermally identical.
The first equipment to be tested is a heating system developed by EA Technology for a consortium of electricity companies and UK manufacturers including Creda, Dimplex and Thorn. Using the houses will cut the cost of these trials by 90 per cent.

Hedge fund billionaire John Henry married his second wife on his 164-foot yacht, but the memories are apparently outweighed by costs of keeping it up.
The John W. Henry & Co. founder has put the "Iroquois" up for sale, seeking $28.75 million. Fear not, investors: Henry's not hard-up for cash, but the commodity trading advisor simply hasn't got the time for seafaring.
Henry, who in addition to running JWH owns baseball's Boston Red Sox, British soccer's Liverpool Football Club and a stock-car racing team, has a full plate, even though a week on the "Iroquois" costs almost $300,000 to charter customers and, thus, could be quite a good business in and of itself.
The yacht, which was built in 1998 and can accommodate 10 guests, is currently in the Bahamas and is being sold by Moran Yacht & Ship in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.
