Tory endorsement draws criticism
An open letter to the Canadian Black Caucus:
Dear members of the Canadian Black Caucus, we are the women of the Black Women's Caucus of the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape (TRCC/MWAR).
We are a community of women that commune together based on our shared oppressions that we have and currently experience throughout our lives, in the workplace, within society and in our homes. We are built (and continue to build) on a foundation of shared understandings of our own realities that include (but are not limited to); the fact that globally, Black women have and continue to cruelly suffer as a result of us being Black and female and that these realities are compounded due to sexism, homophobia, ableism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, racism and other forms of personal, political and cultural persecutions. We also acknowledge the limited and careless attention that has been placed on examining the transgenerational damages that have been inflicted onto our bodies, onto our minds and onto our communities. We seek to build spaces where this type of self-reflection, healing and mobilization can safely occur.
To the members of the Canadian Black caucus, firstly allow us to salute you.
For being a pioneer path-creator for us young Black and African peoples who crave for ways to exercise our political citizenship. For your political will and practice of unapologetically taking up political space even when representing a community that is very often seen as apolitical and for the ways in which you have made it a priority to highlight issues that affect us as Black people living in Canada.
In spite of this, grounded in a love for the people who live and have built this land; and an equal love for speaking our nuanced distinctive truths as Black people living in Canada, we must not only honour your work but it would be remiss of us to not also hold you accountable. Particularly, in light of the public pulpit that you have placed yourself upon (perhaps unintentionally) but that does carry with it an assumed representative role.
The Canadian Black Caucus' decision to publically endorse Toronto mayoral candidate, John Tory, has brought tremendous pause within us, particularly given his most recent comments on how White privilege does not exist. We will not present the numerous evidence-based bodies of literature that speak to the very real existence of White privilege/supremacy because we are sure that as fellow Black bodies living in a predominantly White space, that is arguably unnecessary. What we seek through this communication is to show you that there are implications to endorsing a candidate – more so a White male candidate who significantly benefits from White privilege – who can publically declare this. Implications that will not only ripple through to the broader White community, but that will also have significant implications to peoples of colour and other racialized groups in the city of Toronto and in Canada.
The city of Toronto is on unceded traditional Mississauga territory. For a potential Mayor of Toronto to pretend that White privilege does not exist is to dismiss the colonial and White supremacist history and realities of Toronto. It is also to laugh in the faces of the many Indigenous peoples and allies who continue to fight for their basic rights to land, social services, education and political and civic equalities. Tory's statement is akin to when Stephen Harper denied Canada's colonial past.
We are a collective of educated and experienced women from all walks of life. We are not blind to the nuances of the political landscape, especially given the tumultuous Mayoral race that this city is witnessing with the erasure of candidates such as D!onne Renée – a Black woman who is also running for the position of Mayor but has been left out of mainstream coverage and debate participation. We understand that in the political game there are alliances that must be formed, that are contextual, binding and that at times, require that secretive deals be made. We do not want to give you the impression that we are naïve to this, however, endorsing a man right after he states clearly that he does not believe in White privilege – without even offering a public critique of this statement – is a move that further acts as an oppressive silencer within our community.
What also was troubling were the ways in which you silenced dissent on the group's Facebook page. Many Black Canadians and Blacks living in Canada expressed their outrage and disappointment to the Caucus' endorsement of John Tory. Instead of engaging in a productive discussion or at least listening to what members of the constituency group which you claim to represent had to say, you instead opted to be condescending, silencing and erased the voices that did not agree with your stance. Statements such as, "You all are not to blame because the fact is when you DON'T have information, then all you can go by is the little that you know," in no way encourages a healthy and respectful discussion. You also assumed that if one were not in support of John Tory, that they would automatically be in favour of Olivia Chow which is not only presumptuous but is also an interesting indication of how you perceive this municipal elections and the juxtaposition of the candidates. In many ways, you've helped to show why we must push back against candidates like John Tory who benefit from White privilege and supremacy yet are quick to deny its existence whereas Olivia Chow, who although also experiences her own forms of privilege, as a racialized woman has experienced the scars of White privilege and supremacy. So even within your analytical narrative, you have placed these two candidates on opposing ends of the spectrum based on race; therefore based on White privilege. With all of that said, it is important to stress that this is not an endorsement of Olivia Chow and her political platform.
It is also important to note that financial contributions do not necessarily, and in many ways never indicate one's commitment to dismantling the very systems of power and privilege that allow them to always be the givers and us, the receivers of charity. In fact, their ability to "donate" helps to ensure that those locations of power and privilege remain concrete.
It must be stated clearly and inarguably that as Black women we continue to resist structural systems of oppression. Part of this struggle requires us to ensure that the experiences of Black and racialized peoples here in Toronto are seen and taken seriously. Within our Caucus we remain resolute about the fact that race is still the primary determinant of opportunity and experience, particularly now when there is so much evidence to back this school of thought and to validate what we have been feeling and experiencing for years. Consequently, we seek to dismantle the idea that White people can continue to use unearned privilege to remain ignorant and thus make irresponsible comments such as those made by Tory. Tory's endorsement of White privilege and your subsequent endorsement of him work to silence us and further delegitimize our truths and experiences.
We would like to encourage you as "The Canadian Black Caucus" to work against this "colour blind mentality" asserted by Tory and the mainstream society. Of course you are free to endorse who you choose, but to do so while claiming to represent a significant portion of the population and by choosing not to apply a critical lens carries significant implications, which dramatically and forcefully counter the work that we and so many before us have worked so hard to achieve.

A tsunami warning has been issued after a 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck northeastern Japan.
The quake hit just off the coast of Fukushima and not far from its Daiichi nuclear power plant.
People have been warned that waves of up to three metres could sweep the nation's northern Pacific coast if a tsunami is triggered.
The Japan Meteorological Agency said the quake struck at a depth of 10 kilometres.
It warned people along the coast to move to higher ground.
Fukushima is north of Tokyo and home to the nuclear power plant that was destroyed by a huge tsunami following an offshore earthquake in 2011.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injury so far on Monday at about 10pm UK time.Reuse content

German minister: "We are in a state of war"10News December 24, 2016 2 Comments on German minister: "We are in a state of war"
This sounds just like the French government, who earlier this year claimed that "We are in a state of war".
Klaus Bouillon is member of Angela Merkel's party CDU and Interior Minister in the Saarland region.
Translated from Bild:
"More policemen on the street. Better armament of the police. Mobile road blocks. Saar-Interior Minister Klaus Bouillon (69, CDU) wants to upgrade in the fight against terror. With a normal armament, amok drivers like in Berlin and Nice are hard to stop. In a first statement on the attack in Berlin, Bouillon spoke of war. The minister in the SR: 'We must state, we are in a state of war.'"

A Labour MP is fighting for her life after being shot and stabbed before a constituency surgery.
Jo Cox, 41, was attacked outside a library in Birstall, near Leeds, and reportedly left lying in a pool of blood on the pavement.
Witnesses claimed the gunman had shouted "Britain first" as she was shot and stabbed "multiple times" during the attack.
It is believed Mrs Cox was caught in an altercation between two men as she prepared to hold an advice surgery.
Police confirmed the MP was in a critical condition after the incident just before 1pm, adding that another man in his late 40s or early 50s also suffered "slight injuries".
A 52-year-old man has been arrested, officers said.
Eyewitness Hichem Ben Abdallah, 56, was in the cafe next door to the library when he heard screaming and went outside.
He said at one point the attacker was "kicking her as she was lying on the floor".
He added: "There was a guy who was being very brave and another guy with a white baseball cap who he was trying to control and the man in the baseball cap suddenly pulled a gun from his bag."
After a brief scuffle, he said the man stepped back and the MP became involved.
He added: "He was fighting with her and wrestling with her and then the gun went off twice and then she fell between two cars and I came and saw her bleeding on the floor."
After around 15 minutes, the shop owner said emergency services arrived and tended to her with a drip.
Another eyewitness told the Dewsbury Reporter: "The whole scene has been taped off. There are armed police everywhere."
Daniel Blyth, a 38-year-old company director, added: "I saw seven police cars racing up Leeds Road towards Morley. They were unmarked BMWs.
"There are two helicopters flying overhead.
"It all seems very dramatic. I have heard that two people have been shot but I'm not who are why. It's all very unusual for Birstall."
The Prime Minister led messages of goodwill, tweeting: "Very concerned about reports Jo Cox has been injured. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jo and her family."
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said: "Utterly shocked by the news of the attack on Jo Cox. The thoughts of the whole Labour Party are with her and her family at this time."
Far-right group Britain First issued a statement saying it was "obviously" not involved and "would never encourage behaviour of this sort".
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said : "At 12.53 today, police were called to a report of an incident on Market Street, Birstall, where a woman in her 40s had suffered serious injuries and is in a critical condition.
"A man in his late 40s to early 50s nearby also suffered slight injuries.
"Armed officers attended and a 52-year-old man was arrested in the area. There are no further details at present.
"Police presence in the area has been increased as a reassurance to the community."
Mrs Cox, who is married with two children, lives with her husband Brendan on a Dutch barge by Tower Hill on the Thames.
Her husband posted a photo of her standing by the Thames on Twitter this afternoon.
She represents the Batley and Spen constituency and was elected in last year's general election.
She was born in Batley, and won the Batley and Spen seat with a 6,057 majority.
The Cambridge graduate is the chair for the Labour Women's Network and a senior advisor to the Freedom Fund, an anti-slavery charity.
Mrs Cox was previously head of policy for Oxfam and also worked with Save The Children and the NSPCC.
Politically she worked with Sarah Brown, the wife of former Prime Minister Gordon, to campaign against mothers and babies dying needlessly in pregnancy and childbirth. Mrs Cox also worked for Baroness Kinnock in Brussels for two years.
She lists climbing mountains, running and boats as her interests.
Asked by the Huffington Post about the biggest change since becoming an MP, she said: "Reconnecting back with my roots which has been absolutely brilliant. Going back home has been brilliant."

Tell me, Harry, what difference would it make if it wasn't real?"Harry thought a moment, his chinless face sour. "We wouldn't have to do what we think we have to do. But even if we don't have to do what we think we have to do, it won't make any difference if we do it Which means we should just go ahead."Mavis sighed. "Just go ahead.""Just go ahead," said Hagbard. "A powerful mantra.""And if we don't go ahead," said George, "it doesn't matter either. Which means that we just do go ahead.""Another powerful mantra," said Hagbard. "Just do go ahead.
Praying, we usually ask too much. I know I do. Sometimes we even demand. I think I am learning to ask enough for the moment--not for the whole year, utterly veiled in mystery; not even for the week, the month ahead; but just for today. Jesus said it all when He told us to pray: 'Give us this day our daily bread.'That bread is not only material, it is spiritual; in asking for it, we ask for a sufficiency of strength, courage, hope and light. Enough courage for the step ahead--not for the further miles. Enough strength for the immediate task or ordeal. Enough material gain to enable us to meet our daily obligations. Enough light to see the path--right before our feet.
If you run now, without a moment's rest, you will still be in time to warn King Lune."Shasta's heart fainted at these words for he felt he had no strength left. And he writhed inside at what seemed the cruelty and unfairness of the demand. He had not yet learned that if you do one good deed your reward usually is to be set to do another and harder and better one. But all he said out loud was:"Where is the King?"The Hermit turned and pointed with his staff. "Look," he said. "There is another gate, right opposite to the one you entered by. Open it and go straight ahead: always straight ahead, over level or steep, over smooth or rough, over dry or wet. I know by my art that you will find King Lune straight ahead. But run, run: always run.
Can we not appreciate that our very business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves? To break our own records, to outstrip our yesterdays by our todays, to bear our trials more beautifully than we ever dreamed we could, to give as we have never given, to do our work with more force and a finer finish than ever—this is the true idea: to get ahead of ourselves.
The dismaying thing about the classic totalitarian mind is that any given gear, though mutilated, will have at its circumference unbroken sequences of teeth that are immaculately maintained, that are exquisitely machined. Hence the cuckoo clock in Hell—keeping perfect time for eight minutes and thirty-three seconds, jumping ahead fourteen minutes, keeping perfect time for six seconds, jumping ahead two seconds, keeping perfect time for two hours and one second, then jumping ahead a year. The missing teeth, of course, are simple, obvious truths, truths available and comprehensible even to ten-year-olds, in most cases. The willful filing off of gear teeth, the willful doing without certain obvious pieces of information-...That is closest I can come to explaining the legions, the nations of lunatics I've seen in my time.

As in the International Application No. PCT/FR2003/002256, priority is claimed to French Patent Application No. 02 09030, filed on Jul. 17, 2002, the entire contents of which is incorporated by reference, and for which priority is claimed under 35 U.S.C. � 119.
The present invention relates to a machine for exposing both sides of printed circuit panels, and more particularly, in such a machine, the invention relates to making artwork supports.
Exposure machines are installations that enable artwork to be placed facing at least one face of a printed circuit panel that is to be made, with the panel being subjected to a light beam through the artwork in order to print on a photosensitive layer previously disposed on at least one face of said panel. Depending on circumstances, the exposure machine may present two artwork supports disposed on either side of the panel so as to make a double-sided printed circuit, or only a single artwork support for making a single-sided printed circuit. The artwork is constituted by a full-scale image of the printed circuit.
The various dispositions of an exposure machine are described, in particular in European patents EP 0 618 505 and EP 0 807 855.
With reference to accompanying
The top artwork support 10 comprises a metal frame 12 of substantially rectangular shape having a transparent window 14 fastened thereto for receiving the top artwork. The bottom artwork support 16 is likewise constituted by a substantially rectangular metal frame 18 likewise having a transparent window 20 fastened thereto. A gasket 22 is fastened to the bottom face of the frame 12 for supporting the top artwork, for example. The printed circuit panel 24 for exposure is placed between the top and bottom windows 14 and 20. The windows 14 and 20 may comprise transparent plates made of glass or of some material other than glass.
In the following step shown in
As shown in
It is known that printed circuit panels can have a very wide variety of dimensions. Naturally, it is very desirable for the exposure machine to enable panels of different sizes to be exposed, which is why the peripheral zones 26 and 28 are present except under the special circumstance of panels having the largest possible dimensions.
It will be understood that breakage of the windows leads firstly to the cost of replacing a window, which is high since such windows need to present a very high degree of purity, and secondly, and above all, it makes the exposure machine unavailable. Naturally, it will be understood that such machines are intended to operate automatically at high rates of throughput in order to make the manufacture of printed circuits profitable. Such risks of breaking the windows therefore have very considerable economic implications.
In addition, the trend in the market is to reduce very considerably the width of the conductor tracks on printed circuits in order to miniaturize such circuits. This situation leads to an increase in track density per unit area on the printed circuit. This leads to problems of transferring the image because of the increase in precision required for defining conductor tracks. In order to be able to comply with such levels of performance, it is necessary to move the window carrying the artwork closer to the printed circuit faces so as to press the artwork against the faces of the panel, as mentioned above. To do this, it is necessary to increase the extent to which the space between the windows is evacuated. However a higher vacuum between the windows also leads to additional stresses being created in the windows and thus increases the risks of breakage when the vacuum is taken beyond a certain limit.
To remedy that drawback, proposals have been made to place mechanical spacers or shim in register with the peripheral zones 26 and 28 in an attempt to reduce the stresses applied to these portions of the windows when the volume V is evacuated.
It turns out firstly that such mechanical spacers, which are necessarily highly localized, do not provide a satisfactory solution to the problem of limiting localized stress levels in the windows, so the rate at which windows break remains very significant, and in any event too high, and secondly the distance between the windows while the space is being evacuated naturally depends on the thickness of the printed circuit panel so it is necessary to have spacers of different thicknesses in order to match the different thicknesses of the printed circuits. This requirement makes it difficult to automate the operation of exposing series of printed circuit panels of different thicknesses to light radiation. In addition, there is a risk of an operator choosing the wrong spacers.
There therefore exists a real need to have an exposure frame and more particularly artwork supports that provide an effective reduction in the stresses applied to the windows, thereby achieving a considerable reduction in window breakages for a given level of vacuum, or enabling the level of vacuum between the windows to be increased without increasing the risk of breakage.
Nevertheless, it is desirable for such exposure frames to be compatible with exposure machines being used for mass production.
According to the invention, to achieve this object, the exposure machine for printed circuit panels comprises:
In addition, the term "source of gas under pressure" should be understood either as the gaseous environment of the machine, which is at atmospheric pressure, or optionally as an enclosure containing a gas at a pressure that is regulated and greater than that of the suction.
It will be understood that because at least one deformable leaktight balloon is disposed between the windows of the artwork supports around the printed circuit panels, and because said balloon is maintained at least at atmospheric pressure while the volume between the artwork support windows is being evacuated, greater and greater relative pressure appears within the deformable balloon. The balloon thus takes up the shape of the inside space of the windows while the windows are deforming under the effect of suction. The balloon thus serves to ensure that the stresses applied to the windows in said peripheral region are made uniform, thereby avoiding the creation of large localized stresses which could lead to a window being destroyed. It will also be understood that in these critical zones that are fitted with a leaktight balloon, equal pressures are achieved on either side of the window, thereby considerably reducing stresses and thus any risk of breakage.
Preferably, the machine includes a plurality of leaktight deformable balloons surrounding said panel, each balloon being connected to said source of gas under pressure by a pipe, said balloons occupying the major fraction of the space extending between the periphery of said panel and the frames.
This optimizes deformation of the windows, even if the printed circuit panel has dimensions that are significantly smaller than those of the artwork support windows.
Preferably, several sets of deformable balloons are made available having different dimensions. This makes it possible to change the deformable balloons as a function of the dimensions of the panel.
In an improved embodiment, the machine further comprises at least one mechanical spacer interposed between said frame and the support in order to control deformation of the frame proper in addition to controlling the deformation of the window fastened to the frame, where deformation of the window is controlled as explained above by putting the deformable leaktight balloon into place.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention appear better on reading the following description of various embodiments of the invention given as non-limiting examples.
The description refers to the accompanying figures, in which:
With reference initially to
Typically, the windows are about 8 millimeters (mm) thick.
According to an essential characteristic of the invention, one or more deformable leaktight balloons 30 are placed in the peripheral portion V′ of the volume V around the panel 24. In
As shown in
Each balloon is substantially rectangular in shape and the "horizontal" dimensions of a balloon are much greater than its thickness dimension, i.e. the distance between the windows before beginning to establish the vacuum. The machine preferably has several sets of balloons of dimensions that correspond to the amount of peripheral space left empty by printed circuit panels of different dimensions.
With reference to
More precisely, in this preferred embodiment, the top window 14 has its periphery 14 a fastened to an intermediate frame 40 constituted by a thin metal sheet. This fastening is preferably performed by adhesive. In turn, the sheet 40 is fastened to the frame 12, e.g. by screws such as 42. Finally, in this figure, there can be seen the top artwork 44.
For the bottom artwork support, the window 20 has its periphery 20 a fastened to an intermediate frame 45 constituted by a thin metal sheet. Fastening is likewise preferably performed by adhesive. The intermediate sheet 45 is clamped between the frame 18 and a backing plate 46, itself screwed to the frame proper 18 via screws such as 48. The inflatable gasket 22 comes into contact with the backing plate 46 when the two artwork supports are in their working positions. This figure also shows the bottom artwork 50 and an automatic mechanical spacer system 52 of adjustable thickness that is described in greater detail below. At this point, it suffices to state that the mechanical spacer 52 serves to keep the frames 12 and 18, together with the top and bottom artwork supports 10 and 16, mutually parallel in spite of the suction established between the windows 14 and 20, i.e. to prevent or at least restrict deformation thereof.
Finally, this figure shows an inflatable leaktight balloon 32 which is disposed between the panel 24 and the edge 44 of the frame. This balloon 32 is disposed facing critical zones 26 and 28 of the windows 14 and 20.
As shown better in
The inflatable balloons preferably occupy the major fraction of the peripheral volume V′.
As can be seen in this figure, under the effect of the vacuum established between the two windows in the space V′ surrounding the panel 24, the central portions of the windows, referenced C, come to press against the top and bottom faces of the panel 24, thereby entraining a small amount of displacement e1 of each of the windows. At most, this displacement is of the order of several tenths of a millimeter. In contrast, it can be seen that in the peripheral zones 26, 28 of the windows extending between the frames and the edge of the panel 24, the windows deform to a much greater extent since there is nothing to oppose such deformation, which results from the pressure difference that exists between the two faces of this portion of window. This causes this portion of window to be moved through a distance e2 which is much greater than the distance e1. It is in this zone that the greatest stresses are established, and thus the risks of breakage are at their greatest. The risks of breakage are particularly great in the zone 26′ of the window 14 corresponding to the edge 24 d of the panel since this zone corresponds to a zone in which stresses are concentrated.
As mentioned briefly above, it is preferable to provide a mechanical spacer 52 of controllable thickness between the top and bottom frames 12 and 18 of the artwork supports, which spacer is interposed between these two frames inside the outline defined by the sealing gasket 22. For example, the mechanical spacers can be fixed to the intermediate frame 46 of the bottom artwork support and serving to support the bottom window 20.
In a concrete embodiment, four mechanical spacers of controllable thickness 52, 54, 56, and 58 are provided extending along the four sides of the frame 18 of the bottom artwork support.
As mentioned above, these mechanical spacers 52 to 58 are interposed between the artwork support frames which are made of metal. The spacers thus serve to prevent the frames themselves deforming under the effect of the vacuum, so the spacers act on parts that are relatively strong. They therefore do not in any way present the drawback of the spacers described above with reference to the prior art.
In addition, as explained below in greater detail the thickness of the spacers 52 to 58 can be adjusted automatically. The controllers controlling the operation of the entire exposure machine can thus respond to information about the thickness of the printed circuit panel for exposure by adjusting the mechanical spacers 52 to 58 to an appropriate thickness without disturbing the operation of the automatic production line including the exposure machine in question.
With reference to
The automatically adjustable mechanical spacer 52 comprises a base 60 which is fastened to the bottom frame 18 of the bottom artwork support, and a top spacer portion 62 whose top face 62 a comes into contact with the top frame 12 for adjusting the spacing between the two frames. The top portion 62 is horizontally constrained relative to the base 60 and is vertically movable. The bottom face of the top portion 62 defines sloping ramps such as 64 at an angle of about 10� relative to the horizontal. This angle is determined as a function of the coefficient of friction of the material from which the spacer is made so as to enable the thickness of the spacer to be controlled irreversibly.
Vertical displacement of the top portion 62 is controlled by the bottom portion 66 of the spacer which is movable horizontally in translation relative to the base 60 and relative to the top portion 62 of the spacer. The top face of the bottom portion of the spacer has sloping ramps such as 68 that are complementary to the ramps 64, presenting the same angle of inclination relative to the horizontal.
It will be understood that by moving the bottom portion 66 of the spacer horizontally, the action of the ramps 68 on the ramps 64 causes the top portion 62 of the spacer to be lifted through a height that is proportional to the horizontal displacement.
The horizontal displacement of the bottom portion 66 of the spacer is controlled by a cable system 70. It comprises a body 72 secured to the base 60 and in which a rod 74 can move. The end 74 a of the rod 74 is secured to the bottom portion 66 of the spacer. The rod is itself controlled by a rigid cable 80 that provides positive displacement. The cable can be actuated hydraulically or pneumatically.

Like many of their neighbours, this ordinary eight-member family from Shivaji Park has already booked its Ganesh idol, and is now waiting eagerly to welcome the Lord home when Ganeshotsav begins on September 1.
However, the family of businessmen, Mahinder and Harbans Singh, are Sikhs. In a city where Ganeshotsav is one of the most widely celebrated festivals, the Singhs are among the several non-Hindus who ardently believe in Lord Ganesh.
They have been bringing home a Ganpati idol for the past eight years.
"Our family does not believe that only one religion must be worshipped, and I have had shraddha (faith) in Ganeshji for the past 24 years," said Mahinder Singh, 43, who decided to celebrate the ten-day festival at home after the Lord miraculously cured his wife of a long-term illness. "Our belief is not at odds with our religion, so it would not disturb us if anybody objects."
Pervin Saher, a Zoroastrian housewife from Mahim, has a similar sentiment about her annual trips to Siddhivinayak temple. "Years ago, I found an agarbatti box with a picture of Ganeshji, and I could not get myself to throw it away," said Saher, who for the past ten years has been eating only vegetarian food on Tuesdays, which she spends in prayer before an image of the elephant god.
"Many Parsis have respect for Ganeshji because he is the god people name before they begin any work."
For Moin Hodekar, 26 , a pious, namaz-praying Muslim from Sewri, praying to Lord Ganesh is part of the pluralistic culture in his chawl. "My family has been active in the chawl's Ganesh mandal for more than ten years, just as all the Hindus partake in Eid celebrations with us".

ClinTech Month
Technology is revolutionising clinical trials, impacting every aspect of research, but whilst wide-ranging challenges remain, the speed of implementation is slower than many had hoped. All this month we are focusing on these issues, bringing you exclusive video interviews, reports, case studies and views as part of ClinTech Month.
We'll be exploring the ways in which technology is having a profound impact, the benefits it is bringing and the obstacles that need to be cleared.
Types of tech
The numbers around mHealth and wearables are pretty staggering - estimates suggest that by 2020 there will be 25 billion connected devices, 4 million patients using remote monitoring technologies and the Internet of Medical Things industry worth $117 million. These are the building blocks of the technology revolution in clinical trials.
With a vast amount of new data being created, the cloud and Big Data analytics are becoming increasingly important, whilst Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are getting more complex, faster and smoother. Additionally, online social networks are being used for recruitment and to connect patients to one another.
The first aspect to look at is the way in which technology is improving the clinical trial experience for patients. Remote monitoring means less travel for patients and automated tracking helps simplify trials for the patients whilst also making them less time consuming. Real-time insights provide them with metrics about their health previously unseen, whilst they also have the potential to improve patient safety.
All this is good news for everyone involved in running trials; if the patient is satisfied, recruitment and retention levels will both naturally increase. The quality of research data should also improve as studies have shown use of mHealth can improve patient compliance and EMRs reduce the risk of human data-entry error.
Technology can also offer a flexibility previously never seen in clinical trials, allowing for adaptive trial design and shorter time-frames.
The Challenges
Starting at the most basic level, the investment needed in new technological systems and hardware can be prohibitive. On top of that, training of staff and patients on any new technology is vital for the success of a tech-centered trial.
There are concerns over the quality and accuracy of the data collected through mHealth and wearables, whilst the sheer amount of data can be overwhelming. Even once these issues have been overcome, patient data privacy must be maintained.
All these challenges must also continually be viewed with the regulators in mind.
Make sure you follow us on Twitter at @ClinTrials365 and sign-up to the weekly newsletter (on the right of this page) to stay up-to-date with all the ClinTech posts over the coming month.
