Barrow Street Dental Practice January 2010 RADIATION PROTECTION FILE Review Log This Radiation Protection File will be reviewed periodically to ensure that it remains relevant and effective. It will be reviewed at least annually. This Radiation Protection File and its contents will be brought to the attention of those directly involved with dental x-rays. Local Rules These are available in the radiation protection file and in each surgery pinned adjacent to the x-ray machine. The Local Rules must contain at least the following information: (a) name of the appointed Radiation Protection Adviser (b) name(s) of the appointed Radiation Protection Supervisor(s) (c) the identification and description of each controlled area and a summary of the arrangements for restricting access (d) an appropriate summary of the working instructions (e) identification or summary of any contingency arrangements indicating the reasonably foreseeable accidents to which they relate (f) the dose investigation level. The local rules should be drawn up by the Legal Person in consultation with the Radiation Protection Adviser. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Legal person's (employer's and/or practice owner's) written procedures for patient protection Patient Identification Where there is any possibility of the wrong patient being x-rayed (if the patient is referred to another site or operator, for example), the patient will be asked to confirm their name, address and date of birth. Staff Appointments The following staff have been authorised to act in the following capacities: Referrer: all dentists IRMER Practitioner: all dentists Justifying and authorising individual exposures 2 (Note: In most practices the referrer and the IRMER practitioner will be the same person) The operator (below) is the person who carries out all (or part) of the practical aspects of the exposure. Operator: dentists (Peter Martin, Sarah O'Brien, Mzingaye Hove) Operators with limited functions: Operator: no dental nurses qualified (restricted to dental nurses holding the Certificate in Dental Radiography) Selecting exposure parameters and/or positioning the film, the patient and the tube head Effecting the exposure (pressing the button) Processing films Quality assurance, including exposing test objects as part of the QA programme. Operator: receptionist/manager (Julie Woods), dental nurses (Lesley Leonard, Lisa Malone, Deborah Lloyd, Jodie Wilde, Catherine Harris) Film processing. The above staff have received the relevant training commensurate with their duties and this is documented at the end of this Radiation Protection File. Medico-Legal and other Third Party Exposures The need for and usefulness of medico-legal and other third party exposures will be considered before the exposure is justified and authorised. The informed and written consent of the patient will be obtained before such an exposure is carried out. Justification of Exposure Before justifying an exposure, the IRMER practitioner will take account of: (a) the availability and findings of previous radiographs (b) the specific objectives of the exposure in relation to the history and examination of the patient (c) the diagnostic benefit to the patient (d) the radiation risk associated with the radiographic examination (e) the efficacy, benefits and risk of available alternative techniques having the same objective but involving no, or less, exposure to ionising radiation. 3 The benefit should outweigh the detriment of the exposure. The exposure would normally be expected to provide new information to aid the patient's management or prognosis. Authorisation of Exposure Each radiograph will be recorded on the patient's electronic record card by the IRMER practitioner. For digital records, it is the responsibility of the Legal Person to make the appropriate recommendation as to how authorisation will be recorded. Pregnant Patients It is not normally necessary (except in the unlikely occurrence of a vertex occlusal projection – see below) to enquire if a patient is or may be pregnant for the purpose of taking a dental exposure because the pelvic area is not irradiated and the dose involved is very small. However, a pregnant patient can be given the option of delaying radiography if she is particularly concerned about any adverse effects and if this will not be detrimental to her treatment. It is not necessary to use a lead apron except in the circumstances referred to below Lead Aprons / Irradiation of the Pelvic Area (eg Vertex Occlusal Projection) If the radiographic examination is such that the pelvic area may be irradiated the following action will be taken: (a) the operator will ask the patient whether she is, or might be, pregnant and record the response (b) if there is no possibility of pregnancy, the radiographic examination can proceed (c) if the patient is definitely, or probably, pregnant, the situation will be reviewed as to whether to defer the investigation until after delivery. If the examination is carried out, the foetal dose will be kept to a minimum consistent with the diagnostic purpose. In such situations the use of a lead apron is advised, principally because of the reassurance that it provides (d) if the patient cannot exclude the possibility of pregnancy, she will be asked whether her menstrual period is overdue. If pregnancy cannot be excluded but her menstrual period is not overdue, the examination can proceed. If her period is overdue, the advice in paragraph (c) should be followed. Quality Assurance Each procedure within the QA programme will be checked by Peter Martin and recorded on a six monthly basis. 4 Patient Doses The representative patient dose will be assessed as part of each routine test. At present these tests are carried out three-yearly. The diagnostic reference levels will be reviewed by the Legal Person in the light of these findings. The ongoing QA programme will ensure acceptable quality of radiographs. Clinical Evaluation of Radiographs Each radiograph will be evaluated in writing by the dentist treating the patient (or prescribing treatment where the patient is treated by a therapist or a hygienist) and provide information sufficient for a later audit. For example: (a) caries can be charted (b) only findings relevant to the patient's management or prognosis need to be recorded (c) for a pre-extraction radiograph record for example 'root form simple' or 'nothing abnormal diagnosed'. In the Exact programme, quality and notes are prompted and can be evaluated by later audit. Accidental or Unintended Dose to Patients The possibility of accidental or unintended dose shall be minimised by following the standard operating procedures for exposure settings and by immediately releasing the irradiation switch and switching off from the mains supply in the event of: an exposure failing to terminate after a pre-set condition The Radiation Protection Supervisor and Legal Person shall be notified immediately and the advice of the Radiation Protection Adviser sought. Clinical Audits / Peer Reviews Clinical audit and/or peer review will be provided for and carried out in accordance with national arrangements. This will be carried out by Foundation Dentists as a part of their training and a continuing quality audit will be carried out using the computerised software, checked annually by Peter Martin. Policy Updated: 6/11/10 by Peter Martin 18/3/12 by Peter Martin

text: Close Rare Photos of Jesse Owens 0 0 0 More 0 0 0 View Gallery Next Previous Next Presse Sports/Sport the Library/Icon SMI Sept. 12, 2013 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Jesse Owens, one of the early American Olympic heroes. Owens struck a monumental victory at the 1936 Berlin Olympics for both himself and his country when he took the gold medal in the 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay and long jump, besting Nazi Germany competitors on their home soil. In the course of a week, Owens, the son of a sharecropper and the grandson of slaves, dealt a blow on the world's stage to Adolph Hitler's Nazi propaganda and the myth of a master race. SI.com commemorates the historic achievements of Owens with a look at some rare photos of the Buckeye Bullet. 1|50 AP Jesse Owens Jesse Owens of Ohio State crosses the finish line in the 220-yard dash with a record speed of 20.3 seconds at the Big Ten Western Conference Track and Field meet at the University of Michigan on May 25, 1935. 2|50 AP Jesse Owens Owens is shown at the Central Intercollegiate Conference meet on June 7, 1935 as he broke the accepted world broad jump record with a leap of 26 feet 2½ inches. 3|50 AP Jesse Owens Owens and his high school sweetheart, Minnie Ruth Solomon, apply to clerk Frank Zizelman for their marriage license on July 5, 1935. 4|50 AP Jesse Owens Owens and Minnie Ruth Solomon take their marriage vows in Cleveland on July 5, 1935. 5|50 Gamma-Keystone via Getty Images Jesse Owens Owens gets his feet examined after track practice on Aug. 13, 1935. 6|50 Photo by Hank Olen/NY Daily News Archive via Getty Images Jesse Owens Winner of the 100-meter final in the Olympic trials at Randall's Island stadium in July 1936, Owens poses with Ralph Metcalfe, who finished second. 7|50 Charles Payne/NY Daily News Archive via Getty Images Jesse Owens Owens, the "one man track team," gives Helen Stephens, the "one woman track team," a few points on how to get a speedy start on July 13, 1936.

The technical failure was widely mocked outside of Russia as one of the many so-called #SochiProblems, but otherwise the Opening Ceremony constituted a visually impressive tribute to the Russian people and their history. 13 Olympics Disappointments 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More Olympics The robotic camera is a solution that allows SI to put a camera in places it traditionally would have no access to. That was the case in Sochi, where SI used two robotic units. One was in Adler Arena for Speed Skating, mounted on the lighting truss hanging from the ceiling above the track. Since there was no catwalk over the track, that was the only way to get these unique perspectives. The second was in Fisht Stadium for both Opening and Closing Ceremonies, again hanging from a lighting truss above the audience. The robotic camera rig allows us to pan, tilt, zoom, focus, trigger, and transmit images.This is all controlled from our office in the MPC via Vlan. Also, our robotic has a third axes in addition to pan and tilt, which is the ability to roll. This gives us an added advantage when composing images.

"Who is Dependent on Welfare" With Ananya Roy
It is time for America to reconsider who is dependent on welfare. Poverty is not only the lack of income and wealth but also the poverty of power. A key part of the poverty of power is to be defined as dependent: dependent on charity, handouts, welfare. Yet, it is the wealthy, not the poor, who are dependent on government subsidies. To transform dependency into self-determination is the work of poor people's movements. To demonstrate the dependency of the wealthy on welfare as well as on the labor of the poor must be our collective work.

While the state's office of the Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities, which can act as special tribunal, had ruled in favour of Salvi and Nikam in 2010 and 2012 respectively, they are yet to get their arrears. The commissioner had also ordered the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to award them the promotions they were entitled to.
"After the accident, I was termed ineligible for reimbursements of telephone and electricity bills. My name was also removed from the list sent to the promotion committee, despite having the required seniority and merit," said Nikam, who studied fire engineering in the UK.
Salvi, meanwhile, awaits his salary for the three-year period, when his services were terminated. "I was hired again as a telephone operator in 2006. But, I have not yet received my salary from 2003-2006, despite a court order stating that my termination was unlawful," said Salvi.
Suhas Joshi, chief fire officer, said, "I am not aware of the status of the cases and do not have the details with me right now."
"The court had asked us to reconsider their cases. We have already made an exception to the BMC service rules and ensured pay parity to them," said a senior civic official, requesting anonymity.
Citing a recent example of the Indian Army, which promoted a wheelchair bound brigadier to the post of major general in 2009, Nikam said, "Being a government authority, the BMC is liable to follow the Persons With Disability Act. It is a matter of treating your officers with dignity. The BMC's disregard for court shows in the pitiable state of affairs."

Article: Flavan hetero-dimers in the Cymbopogon citratus infusion tannin fraction and their contribution to the antioxidant activity[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass) leaf infusion, a commonly used ingredient in Asian, African and Latin American cuisines, is also used in traditional medicine for the treatment of several pathological conditions; however, little is known about their bioactive compounds. Recent studies revealed the crucial role of the phenolic compounds namely flavonoids and tannins on the infusion bioactivity. Flavonoids have already been characterized; however the tannin fraction of lemongrass infusion is still uncharted. The aim of the present work is to characterize this fraction, and to evaluate its contribution to the antioxidant potential of this plant. Chemical characterization was achieved by HPLC-DAD-ESI/tandem MS and the antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH, ABTS and FRAP assays. Hetero-dimeric flavan structures have been described for the first time in lemongrass consisting of apigeniflavan or luteoliflavan units linked to a flavanone, either naringenin or eriodictyol, which may occur as aglycone or glycosylated forms. The antioxidant capacity of the fraction containing these compounds was significantly higher than the infusion, indicating its potential as a source of natural antioxidants.Food & Function 02/2015; 6(3).

ABSTRACT: Cymbopogon citratus (Cc), worldwide known as lemongrass, is a very important crop in the world, being bred in tropical countries. It is widely used for food and pharmaceutical industries, cosmetic and perfumery for its essential oil. Cc aqueous extracts are also commonly used in traditional medicine. They have high levels of polyphenols, which are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. From the essential oil hydrodistillation results an aqueous waste (CcHD), which is discarded. Therefore, a comparative study between CcHD and Cc infusion (CcI) was performed to characterize its phytochemical profile and to research its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential.Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture 11/2014; DOI:10.1002/jsfa.6999 · 1.88 Impact Factor

Article: Chemical characterization and anti-inflammatory activity of luteolin glycosides isolated from lemongrass[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Flavonoids from lemongrass – Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf – leaves infusion, a commonly consumed beverage for the treatment of inflammatory-related conditions, were investigated in this work. Luteolin O-, C- and O,C-glycosides were isolated and identified by nuclear magnetic resonance, being the cassiaoccidentalin B structure fully characterized for the first time in lemongrass. The anti-inflammatory activity of luteolin and its glycosides was evaluated in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages. Luteolin glycosides demonstrated less cytotoxicity than luteolin itself. Although glycosylation decreases luteolin anti-inflammatory properties, being higher to C-glycosylation, an inhibitory effect on inflammatory mediator production (nitric oxide and IL-1β) was verified for the luteolin 7-O-β-glucopyranoside, without cytotoxic effects. Therefore, luteolin glycosides from lemongrass infusion are evidenced as a less toxic alternative to current anti-inflammatory drugs with promising use in pharmaceutical and food supplement industries. Additionally, this work establishes structure–activity relationships, which constitutes valuable information in the design of anti-inflammatory luteolin glycosides devoid of toxicity.Journal of Functional Foods 09/2014; 10:436–443.

Article: Screening and identification of neuroprotective compounds relevant to Alzheimer׳s disease from medicinal plants of S. Tomé e Príncipe[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathology is strongly associated with the activation of inflammatory pathways, and long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs reduces the risk of developing the disease. In S. Tomé e Príncipe (STP), several medicinal plants are used both for their positive effects in the nervous system (treatment of mental disorders, analgesics) and their anti-inflammatory properties. The goal of this study was to determine whether a phenotypic, cell-based screening approach can be applied to selected plants from STP (Voacanga africana, Tarenna nitiduloides, Sacosperma paniculatum, Psychotria principensis, Psychotria subobliqua) in order to identify natural compounds with multiple biological activities of interest for AD therapeutics.Journal of Ethnopharmacology 06/2014; 155(1).

ABSTRACT: Significant advances have been achieved during the past decade concerning the metabolism of polyphenol compounds in vitro, but scarce data has been presented about what really happens in vivo. Many studies on poly phenols to date have focused on the bioactivity of one specific molecule in aglycone form, often at supraphysiological doses, whereas foods contain complex, often poorly characterized mixtures with multiple additive or interfering activities. Whereas most studies up to the middle-late 1990s measured total aglycones in plasma and urine, after chemical or enzymatic deconjugation, or both, several recent works now report the polyphenol conjugate composition of plasma, urine, feces and/or tissues, after the administration of pure polyphenols or polyphenol-rich matrices. HPLC methods with electrochemical, mass spectrometric and fluorescence detection have adequate sensitivity. LC/UV-Vis methods have also been widely reported, but they are much less sensitive. Compared with electro-chemical and fluorescence detection, MS detection can quantify analytes without chromatographic separation, which leads to high throughput, presenting itself as the best choice to date. Regarding the experimental model to monitor the bioavailability of phenolic compounds, most published studies are based on human and animal models, with the majority using rodents, primates and recently Caenorhabditis elegans. This review focuses on the fundamentals of pharmacokinetic methods from the last 15 years and how the results are evaluated and validated. The types of analytical methods, animal models and biological matrices were used to better elucidate polyphenols pharmacokinetics.Current Drug Metabolism 12/2013; DOI:10.2174/1389200214666131211155028 · 3.49 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Propolis is a bee product with numerous biological and pharmacological properties, such as immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activities. It has been used in folk medicine as a healthy drink and in food to improve health and prevent inflammatory diseases. However, little is known about its mechanism of action. Thus, the goal of this study was to verify the antioxidant activity and to explore the anti-inflammatory properties of propolis by addressing its intracellular mechanism of action. Caffeic acid was investigated as a possible compound responsible for propolis action.Journal of ethnopharmacology 06/2013; 149(1). DOI:10.1016/j.jep.2013.06.004 · 2.94 Impact Factor
Article: Anti-inflammatory activity of Cymbopogon citratus leaves infusion via proteasome and nuclear factor-κB pathway inhibition: Contribution of chlorogenic acid[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Cymbopogon citratus (DC) Stapf leaves infusion is used in traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, however little is known about their bio-active compounds. AIM OF THE STUDY: Investigate the compounds responsible for anti-inflammatory potential of Cymbopogon citratus (Cy) on cytokines production induced by lipopolysaccharide in human and mouse macrophages, and the action mechanisms involved. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An essential oil-free infusion of Cy was prepared and polyphenol-rich fractions (PFs) were obtained from it by column chromatography. Chlorogenic acid was identified, by HPLC/PDA/ESI-MS(n). The expression of cytokines, namely TNF-α and CCL5, was analyzed by real-time RT-PCR, on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human macrophages. Activation of nuclear factor-κB, a master regulator of inflammation, was investigated by Western blot and gene reporter assay. Proteasome activity was assessed using a fluorogenic peptide. RESULTS: Cymbopogon citratus extract and its polyphenols inhibited the cytokine production on human macrophages. This supports the anti-inflammatory activity of Cy polyphenols in physiologically relevant cells. Concerning the effect on the activation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB pathway, the results pointed to an inhibition of LPS-induced NF-κB activation by Cy and PFs. Chlorogenic acid was identified, by HPLC/PDA/ESI-MS(n), as the main phenolic acid of the Cy infusion, and it demonstrated to be, at least in part, responsible by that effect. Additionally, it was verified for the first time, that Cy and PFs inhibited the proteasome activity, a complex that controls NF-κB activation, having CGA a strong contribution. CONCLUSIONS: The results evidenced, for the first time, the anti-inflammatory properties of Cymbopogon citratus through proteasome inhibition and, consequently NF-κB pathway and cytokine expression. Additionally, Cy polyphenols, in particular chlorogenic acid, were highlighted as bio-active compounds.Journal of ethnopharmacology 04/2013; 148(1). DOI:10.1016/j.jep.2013.03.077 · 2.94 Impact Factor

Article: Essential Oil of Juniperus communis subsp. alpina (Suter) Čelak Needles: Chemical Composition, Antifungal Activity and Cytotoxicity[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Essential oils are known to possess antimicrobial activity against a wide spectrum of bacteria and fungi. In the present work the composition and the antifungal activity of the oils of Juniperus communis subsp. alpina (Suter) Čelak were evaluated. Moreover, the skin cytotoxicity, at concentrations showing significant antifungal activity, was also evaluated. The oils were isolated by hydrodistillation and analysed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal lethal concentration (MLC) were used to evaluate the antifungal activity of the oil against dermatophytes (Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum canis, M. gypseum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, T. mentagrophytes var. interdigitale, T. rubrum, T. verrucosum), yeasts (Candida albicans, C. guillermondii, C. krusei, C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis, Cryptococcus neoformans) and Aspergillus species (Aspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger). Cytotoxicity was tested in HaCaT keratinocytes through the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Essential oil of J. communis subsp. alpina needles was predominantly composed of monoterpene hydrocarbons (78.4%), with the main compounds being sabinene (26.2%), α-pinene (12-9%) and limonene (10.4%). Results concerning the antifungal activity demonstrated the potential of needle oil against dermatophytes, particularly for Microsporum canis and Trichophyton rubrum with MIC and MLC of 0.32 μL/mL. Furthermore, evaluation of cell viability showed no significant cytotoxicity in HaCaT keratinocytes at concentrations between 0.32 and 0.64 μL/mL. These results show that it is possible to find appropriate doses of J. communis subsp. alpina oil with both antifungal activity and a very low detrimental effect on keratinocytes.

Article: Intracellular signaling pathways modulated by phenolic compounds: application for new anti-inflammatory drugs discovery.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Extensive research within the last two decades revealed that most chronic illnesses, including cancer, neurological, autoimmune and cardiovascular diseases are mediated through chronic inflammation. Thus, suppressing chronic inflammation has the potential to delay, prevent, and treat those diseases. However, side effects and high costs of current anti-inflammatory drugs force the development of new drugs. Natural products represent an important source of new bioactive compounds. Among them, phenolic compounds, which are widely distributed in plants, have been described as having many therapeutic effects. Several reviews have addressed the anti-inflammatory activity of phenols, attributing their properties not only to the antioxidant capacity, but also to inflammatory mediators' modulation, namely cytokines and pro-inflammatory proteins, such as inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2. Signal transduction pathways precede changes in inflammatory mediators' expression. However, only a restricted number of studies have addressed the effect of phenols on a specific signal transduction pathway. The present review attempts to summarize and highlight a broad range of inflammation-associated signaling pathways modulated by phenols namely: nuclear factor (NF)-κB, activator protein (AP)-1, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) transcription factors; mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs); protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs); tyrosine phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt and ubiquitin-proteasome system. As a consequence of phenols effect on signaling pathways, described above, their action on inflammatory mediators' production is mentioned. Finally, it is established that the structure-activity relationships of phenolic compounds are a valuable information source on the development of new anti-inflammatory drugs from natural products.Current Medicinal Chemistry 04/2012; 19(18):2876-900.

The Stonewall Dutch is a traditional favourite amongst club players, as it offers Black ready-made attacking plans on the kingside. As Grandmaster Bent Larsen has noted, the Dutch also has the tendency to 'bring out the coward' in opponents, giving it an added practical sting. However, up until the late 1980s, the Stonewall wasn't fully trusted at grandmaster level, despite its earlier use by Alekhine and Botvinnik. Black's attacking plans were too one-sided, and White's methods too well worked out.

Improving Calculation and Resourcefulness in the Endgame
Nowadays, chessplayers spend almost all their free time preparing openings, and rarely spend the time necessary to perfect the vitally important technique of calculating. Regular training in solving and playing out endgame studies is a good recipe for eliminating that shortcoming. This training is directed at developing resourcefulness, fantasy (in chess, these qualities are called "combinative acuity"), and the readiness to sacrifice material, in pursuit of the goal - winning!

Studies for Practical Players
The name "Staunton" has become so closely associated with chess that the words have become virtually synonymous. All modern tournament chess games are required to be played with Staunton chess pieces. The First International Chess Tournament, London 1851, was organized by Staunton. The leading distributor of chess books and equipment in the USA has taken the name "House of Staunton".
Staunton's Chess-Player's Handbook
The Trompowsky Attack is well known as an ambitious and aggressive opening. Initially an offbeat line favoured by club players, in recent history it has undergone somewhat of a transformation. Thanks to the efforts and innovations of Grandmasters such as Mickey Adams and Julian Hodgson, it has been fine-tuned into a powerful attacking weapon, and today it is seen as an important mainline opening in its own right.
Starting Out - The Trompowsky
The Sicilian Defence is the most popular opening at all levels of tournament play from Linares to the local club championship. The Sicilian is played regularly by Kasparov, Anand, Kramnik, Leko, Topalov, and Shirov - a.k.a. the best players in the world. In this book a multinational line-up of leading experts give recommendations against their own pet lines in the Sicilian Defence.
Starting Out - The Sicilian - 2ND EDITION
In recent years the Scandinavian has been catapulted into the limelight, and it has now firmly established itself as an opening to be reckoned with. Why has it become popular? Because it's easy to play!

Forest & playgrounds
After the museum, the lake promenade ends. There is the area of forest and playgrounds, and the shore is populated by trees. It's a very romantic and intimate area, and you can enjoy some daydreaming there...
If you're taking a walk along the lake, eventually you'll arrive to the museum. It's called CIVICO MUSEO PARSI VALLE. I haven't been inside, but even from the outside you can see some parts of the exhibitions. It was art (paintings) and some sculptures when I was passing by.
Museum is a very strange building, strange shape and features, but truly FANTASTIC! Its architecture is bizarre, but highly attractive. It reflects in mirrors, glass, geometrical shapes and holes, and all that on the water so that the game of light and reflections gives a sensation of out of this world. It was very interesting!
Please take a look at all the photos in this tip if you're ineterested to see more.
Private beach entrances
Every house on the lakeside will have its own lake approach, with private entrance. Although it's private, it's not forbidden to tresspass if it's empty and stroll along the lake a bit, or to enjoy walking by, admiring the view, sitting on the stairs and relaxing a bit... I loved doing all that!
Lakeside promenade
There is a long, beautiful lakeside promenade, going for kilometers and kilometers! It passes in front of private houses by the lake side, Maccagno Navigazione, main beach, forest beach resort and playground, museum, camping site... There are often benches under the trees in a shadow to rest and relax enjoying the wonderful view!
There are many peers along the lake in Maccagno, and although they are mostly private, nobody will call the police if you take a stroll! Take a walk ats ome of them, observe the boats, enjoy the lake...
These peers don't have tall wooden "sticks" like most of the others on the lake, and other Italian lakes.
The Beach up close
The beach in Maccagno is made out of smaller and bigger pebbles. The water is very clean, crystal clear and there are very very tiny waves. Often the surface is flat as well. There are so many wonderful corners and spots along the shore...
Take a sail boat
There are many sail boats in Maccagno. Most of the people have their own private peers in front of their houses. Some even park the sail boats on the beach. It's really lovely to make a sailing tour along the lake!
Maccagno Inferiore & Superiore
There are two towns named Maccagno. One is Inferiore, the one on the lakeside, the one I'm writing about now, and the other is just behind it, in the hills. It's more like an authentic village, while Inferiore is a sun & fun place. :-) There is also quite a big camp, and in the summer months it's full of Germans, while Maccagno Superiore is a typical Italian village without tourists.
Here you can see Maccagno Superiore in the hills as seen from Maccagno Inferiore.

Building up: The aging of the US population will result in greater demand for hospitals
IBISWorld's Hospital Construction market research report can be used to help you: understand market size and growth potential; major companies; draft business plans and pitch books; and conduct benchmarking and SWOT analysis. Our industry analysis highlights macro industry trends in the overall sector and micro trends faced by companies that do business in the industry. The industry report also provides key industry statistics and 5-year forecasts to anticipate future industry prospects so you can decide with confidence.
The Hospital Construction industry has faced challenging conditions over the past five years. In addition to the broader downturn facing the construction sector, hospitals faced a high degree of fiscal uncertainty due to potential changes from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. In the coming years, the industry is expected to enter into a recovery period. . The implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will result in more than 32.0 million individuals gaining access to healthcare insurance coverage, driving up the demand for hospital services. Furthermore, the gradual aging of the US population will also result in greater demand for hospitals.... purchase to read more
New entrants to the Hospital Construction industry are likely to find it difficult to establish a foothold in the market due to their lack of reputation and proven performance. The importance of a solid reputation in securing contracts can create a Catch-22 scenario for new entrants: the only way to build a reputation is through experience, and the only way to get experience is by having a well-established reputation. Furthermore, existing firms are at a distinct advantage because they already have a pool of skilled subcontractors, arrangements with material suppliers and arrangements with financial institutions and property developers... purchase to read more
The industry includes operators that engage in new work, additions and reconstruction projects for hospitals. These include both private and public hospital construction projects.

'Simpsons,' 'Thor' Screenwriter Don Payne Dies at 48
UPDATE: He collected four Emmys as part of the long-running Fox sitcom's writing team and penned both Marvel films about the Nordic god superhero.
Don Payne, a four-time Emmy winner for The Simpsons who co-wrote the screenplay to the Thor movie and its sequel, died Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles after a battle with bone cancer. He was 48.
Actresses Kat Dennings and Jaimie Alexander, who appeared in 2011's Thor and will be back for the November sequel Thor: The Dark World, tweeted the news Wednesday.
Payne, a self-professed "comic book geek," also was behind the scripts for My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006), starring Uma Thurman and Luke Wilson, Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) and Columbia's upcoming Maximum Ride, based on James Patterson's young adult novel.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's Notable Deaths of 2013
Payne started on The Simpsons in 1998 and wrote more than a dozen episodes of the long-running Fox series and served as a consulting producer on 100. He has two episodes in production that will air this fall in the show's 25th season, including this year's Christmas show, "White Christmas Blues." He won the WGA's Paul Selvin Award in 2005 for his Simpsons script "Fraudcast News."
"Don was a wonderful writer and an even more wonderful man," showrunner Al Jean said. "He was beloved in the Simpsons community, and his untimely passing is terrible news to us all. I know he is up with Thor now looking down at us and smiling."
Payne also worked on a series of failed TV sitcoms in the '90s: Hope & Gloria, Pride & Joy, Can't Hurry Love, Men Behaving Badly, Veronica's Closet and The Brian Benben Show. Payne, a native of Wilmington, N.C., teamed for years with fellow screenwriter John Frink, whom he met when both attended UCLA.
"They all fall under the category of 'paying your dues,' " Payne told Huffington Post in 2006. "As a TV writer or any writer starting out, you have to take whatever work you can get to break into the business. It might not be something you love or something you're particularly proud of, but you've got to do it to pay the bills and get your foot in the door. You hope it leads you to bigger and better things, something you love."
Dennings called Payne "a wonderful, beautiful man. … I am lucky to have known you. You are so missed."
Added Alexander: "My heart is broken. You were a wonderful, funny man who helped change my life and I will always love you. The world is less today. Don, may you rest in peace and may peace and love be with your family. You are in my heart always."
Survivors include his wife Julie and three children.

I am grateful for my past, because it is my
greatest teacher—in remembrance of what hasn't worked before, I am freed to
discover what will work now, and I courageously employ these new strategies
with great enjoyment and success.-Quote from Beating Ana
The past can be such a good friend to
us – if we will allow it.
The past is so helpful, too, because it
stores up all the memories and experiences that we can then draw from to figure
out what worked well before, what didn't work so well, what we want more or
less of, and what kind of human being we aspire to be in our life.
When we go back to our past and ask for
guidance or help, it never turns us down. The trick in making use of the
information it so freely gives us, however, is to be discriminating and
strategic in the information we ask for, refusing to get caught up in
unproductive memories but simply taking the information and using it to make
new, better choices today.
Make friends with your past and two
things will happen. One, you will have all kinds of helpful information about
Ed's weaknesses and things you can do to make him even weaker. And two, Ed will
start to get jealous because you have made a new friend to replace him (and
fight back against him!)
When you feel Ed start to get jealous,
that is how you know you are making good use of the information in your past to
take him down. Don't give in. Don't let Ed bully you back in to being his
friend again. Tell him, "I'm sorry, Ed – but you and me is over. I have a new
friend now who will help me get you out of my life for good!"
can you do – starting now, today – to make better use of the information from
your past to weaken Ed and then kick him out of your life for good?
