Publishing Information from Clinical Trials Needs Greater Transparency
by Rukmani Krishna on February 2, 2013 at 11:18 PM General Health News - G J E 4
According to the Editors of PLOS Medicine an initiative from the drugs regulator, the European Medicines Agency, to commit to releasing all of the information from clinical trials once the marketing authorization process has ended, which has been greeted with cautious optimism by proponents of access to data but with much less enthusiasm by the pharmaceutical industry, sparks an interesting debate on the role of medical journals in publishing drug data.
Writing in an Editorial, the Editors state: "As 2013 begins, it is clear that critical times lie ahead for the publishing of clinical trials, which may define the relationship between pharmaceutical companies and the public for many years to come."
AdvertisementThe Editors argue: "It is no longer going to be the case, if it ever was, that a trial report published in a journal will be sufficient as the record of a trialand if journals are not careful, such reports will become unnecessary as well."
The Editors continue: "So in addition to this being a critical time in the relationship of pharmaceutical companies to society in general, it seems that this is a good time to renegotiate the relationship between pharmaceutical companies and medical journals."
As data become more available for reanalysis, the Editors explain that report of a trial sanctioned by the pharmaceutical company and published in a journal will no longer be considered the definitive report of the trial. Instead, this report will become just one part of the large volume of information available around a trial, to be considered in conjunction with all analyses and data.
Over the course of 2013 as EMA defines the terms of reference for the release of data the importance of journal articles' reports of a trial will change. According to the Editors, "Some journals will find this harder to adjust to than others, especially those whose business model is heavily dependent on reprints of pharmaceutical companies' versions of trial reports."

The results are in for Clark County's "Drive Hammered, Get Nailed" campaign targeting drunken drivers.
Ninety intoxicated drivers were arrested between Aug. 17 and Sept. 3 in Clark County, according to the Clark County Sheriff's Office. Statewide, police arrested 1,603 drunken drivers over the same time period.
The added patrols, paid for by a grant from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, were conducted by the sheriff's office, Vancouver Police Department, Camas Police Department, Battle Ground Police Department and Washington State Patrol.
The patrols were conducted in August because officials say it's the deadliest month for traffic accidents in Washington.

Ultimate Nutrition
Dehydroepiandrosterone Supplement. Each capsule contains: 100 mg of Pharmaceutical grade DHEA.
For many years DHEA, or dehydroepiandosterone, was considered a ''junk'' hormone since researchers
could not attribute to it any specific function. In the past few years, DHEA's image has been totally refurbished. It is the most abundant hormone in humans and other mammals and it plays a critical role in many different bodily functions.
The body produces DHEA in the adrenal gland using cholesterol as the starting material. DHEA levels peak in the second or third decade of life, after which decline begins. Roughly one-half of DHEA is lost in men by age 40. Reduced levels of DHEA signify reduced amounts of androstenedione, testosterone and other steroid hormone metabolites. Thus, the importance of DHEA in intense exercise and endurance training can hardly be overemphasized.
Suggested Use: One (1) capsule daily with a meal or as recommended by a health care professional.

HourlyHours to be determined
I have about 4 hours of Audio I need transcribed, immediately. (I have a lot more 30-60 hours of audio that I need done in the coming weeks)
I require the audio to be transcribed and then some basic formatting. The basic formatting is going through and breaking it into sections based off the conversation.
EXAMPLE: if they are talking about a Display ad then before that section I would Like DISPLAY AD in bold. When the topic changes add another title. The design is for ease of navigation through the final typed piece. These are distributed as reports and normal transcription is hard to read.
Again, I have a lot of other Audios I need transcribed and this could easily lead to ongoing work.
I will only provide one hour of audio at a time to make sure it is accurate and in proper format.
Once selected I will set up a dropbox account and load the files

Gulf surface cleaner, but questions lurk far below
WASHINGTON Researchers are warning that the Gulf of Mexico oil spill is a bigger mess than the government claims and that a lot of crude is lurking deep below the surface, some of it settling perhaps in a critical undersea canyon off the Florida Panhandle.
The evidence of microscopic amounts of oil mixing into the soil of the canyon was gathered by scientists at the University of South Florida, who also found poisoned plant plankton - the vital base of the ocean food web - which they blamed on a toxic brew of oil and dispersants.
Their work is preliminary, hasn't been reviewed by other scientists, requires more tests to confirm it is BP's oil they found, and is based on a 10-day research cruise that ended late Monday night. Scientists who were not involved said they were uncomfortable drawing conclusions based on such a brief look.
But those early findings follow a report on Monday from Georgia researchers that said as much as 80 percent of the oil from the spill remains in the Gulf. Both groups' findings have already been incorporated into lawsuits filed against BP.
Both groups paint a darker scenario than that of federal officials, who two weeks ago announced that most of the oil had dissolved, dispersed or been removed, leaving just a bit more than a quarter of the amount that spewed from the well that exploded in April.
At the White House on Aug. 4, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief Jane Lubchenco said: "At least 50 percent of the oil that was released is now completely gone from the system, and most of the remainder is degrading rapidly or is being removed from the beaches."
That's not what the scientists from South Florida and Georgia found.
"The oil is not gone, that's for sure," University of South Florida's David Hollander said Tuesday. "There is oil and we need to deal with it."
University of Georgia's Samantha Joye said: "It's a tremendous amount of oil that's in the system. ... It's very difficult for me to imagine that 50 percent of it has been degraded."
Marine scientist Chuck Hopkinson, also with the University of Georgia, raised the obvious question: "Where has all the oil gone? It hasn't gone anywhere. It still lurks in the deep."
NOAA spokesman Justin Kenney defended his agency's calculations, saying they are "based on direct measurements whenever possible and the best available scientific estimates where direct measurements were not possible." But the vast majority of it is based on "educated scientific guesses," because unless the oil was being burned or skimmed, measurements weren't possible, NOAA response scientist Bill Lehr said earlier this month.
What is happening in the Gulf is the outcome of a decision made early on in the fighting of the spill: to use dispersants to keep the surface and beaches as clean as possible, at the expense of keeping oil stuck below the surface, said Monty Graham, a researcher at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab in Alabama who was not part of the latest work. Oil degrades far more slowly in cooler, deeper waters than it would at the surface.
At the surface and the top 100 feet or so, it is obvious why oil is harmful, fouling marshes and hampering sea turtles, fish, birds and other life. Deep down, the effects are subtler, less direct. Oil at that depth can chip away at the base of the food web - plant plankton - and that could cause animals to go hungry. Reduced oxygen levels from natural gas and oil could also starve creatures of oxygen.

A pluralistic society boasts many independent centers of power and foundations have an instrumental role in supporting such diversity. Online giving marketplaces are further democratizing philanthropy by empowering donors to support the causes they care about. In this panel discussion, sponsored by the Stanford Center for Social Innovation, experts in the field consider whether such online spaces are simply useful adjuncts to the work of philanthropy—or whether they promise to revolutionize the sector altogether.
How do we know that the nonprofit organizations we support are actually effective? In this audio interview, host Sheela Sethuraman converses with Jeff Mason about his efforts, along with key organizational leaders, to develop an assessment tool that evaluates nonprofit management performances.

Plymouth man charged in home invasion
A man who allegedly struck a resident in the head with the barrel of a shotgun during a Plymouth home invasion in March has been caught, police said.
Tierees Owens, 28, of 35 E. Shawnee Ave., Plymouth, was charged with a slew of charges including multiple counts of robbery, burglary and assault.
Police said Owens kicked in the back door of 318 E. Main St., Apt. B, around 11 p.m. March 8. After he hit the male resident in the head with the gun, Owens held it to the back of the man's head and demanded his cellphones, police said.
A woman at the apartment told police she handed the Owens three cellphones, and Owens ran from the residence in an unknown direction, police said.
Owens was jailed Sunday at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility, unable to post $500,000 straight cash bail set by Magisterial District Judge Daniel O'Donnell.
His preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 25 at 1 p.m. before Magisterial District Judge Donald Whittaker.

Panama Canal expansion "lot of hype"
June 28, 2013
The projected 2015 completion of the expansion and widening of the Panama Canal is causing a "lot of hype," but will not drive a major change in maritime shipping options, a top intermodal executive is predicting.
When the project to widen the canal is completed in 2015, longer and wider ships will be able to pass through its locks, allowing big manufacturers shorter access to ports on the Gulf of Mexico and the East Coast. However, Paul Svindland, chief operating officer at Pacer International and a former Maersk executive, says that "at end of the day expanding the Canal does not affect demand patterns on the East Coast."
Right now Port of Baltimore is one of only two ports on the East Coast—the other is the Port of Virginia in Norfolk—that can handle the large, post-Panamax cargo ships. Baltimore recently completed a major expansion, which included building a 50-foot berth and dredging the channel.
However, Svindland is predicting that the effect of the Panama Canal expansion will be more focused on giving maritime carriers greater options in the way they utilize their vessels, rather than changing domestic shipping patterns. "What I think you may see is a change in the carriers and the type of vessels they put in the market place," Svindland says.
The biggest impact on shippers may be on rates, Svindland adds. "Rates may soften because there will be (more) capacity."
Stevan Bobb, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at the BNSF Railway, aggress. "Whatever should shift to the East Coast already has shifted there," says Bobb.
"We don't anticipate any substantial change, and it's up to us to provide the service from the West Coast ports to make sure it doesn't change."
Svindland and Bobb made their comments during a question and answer session following release of the 24th Annual State of Logistics Report.

More than four in five experts say that financial abuse of the elderly is getting worse, according to a new survey of securities regulators, financial planners, law enforcement officials and others by the Investor Protection Trust, an investor education nonprofit. The federal government hopes to combat the problem with a new Elder Justice Coordinating Council announced by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius at a June 14 White House symposium on elder abuse. "We've never had a coordinated federal response to elder abuse," she said.

The frauds can happen in many ways: A shady contractor shows up at your dad's home and applies high-pressure tactics to sell an unneeded, overpriced water purification system. Or a caregiver gets $50 to pick up groceries for your mom and keeps the $15 change. And the cumulative impact is enormous: Last year, older Americans lost nearly $3 billion because of financial exploitation, and the number of victims continues to rise.

Like an Endless Sea of Cotton by Rennon-the-ShavedWatch
©2007-2016 Rennon-the-Shaved
This was my very first time ever flying in an aeroplane. I was so excited. The clouds I saw were just beautiful. Most of the time, they looked like and endless sea of cotton, streching as far as the eye could see.

Fire Danger Ratings Explained
Fuels do not ignite readily from small firebrands although a more intense heat source, such as lightning, may start fires in duff or punky wood. Fires in open cured grasslands may burn freely a few hours after rain, but woods fires spread slowly by creeping or smoldering, and burn in irregular fingers. There is little danger of spotting.
Fires can start from most causes but, with the exception of lightning fires in some areas, the number of starts is generally low. Fires in open cured grasslands will burn briskly and spread rapidly on windy days. Timber fires spread slowly to moderately fast. The average fire is of moderate intensity, although heavy concentrations of fuel, especially draped fuel, may burn hot. Short distance spotting may occur, but is not persistent. Fires are not likely to become serious and control is relatively easy.
All fine dead fuels ignite readily and fires start easily from most causes. Unattended brush and campfires are likely to escape. Fires spread rapidly and short distance spotting is common. High intensity burning may develop on slopes or in concentrations of fine fuels. Fires may become serious and their control difficult unless they are attacked successfully while small.
Fires start quickly, spread furiously, and burn intensely. All fires are potentially serious. Development into high intensity burning will usually be faster and occur from smaller fires than in the very high fire danger class. Direct attack is rarely possible and may be dangerous except immediately after ignition. Fires that develop headway in heavy slash or conifer stands may be unmanageable while the extreme burning conditions last. Under these circumstances, the only effective and safe control actions are on the flanks until the weather changes or the fuel loading decreases.
The above are the terms and definitions for adjective fire danger as defined by the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) Fire Danger Working Team in 2000.

With the openings of The Little Mermaid ~ Ariels Undersea Adventure, Star Tours and Mickeys Soundsational Parade, Disney Soundsational Summer is getting underway and were already looking ahead to whats coming next.
Inspired by the Disney Pixar blockbuster Cars, Cars Land will feature three immersive family attractions showcasing characters and scenes from the movie, including one of the largest and most elaborate attractions ever created for a Disney park: Radiator Springs Racers. Other Cars Land attractions will include Luigis Flying Tires (remember the Flying Saucers in Tomorrowland?) and Maters Junkyard Jamboree when the new land opens in 2012.
Also coming in 2012, a new entrance will welcome guests in Disney California Adventure park.

Orchids & Onions
Little projects make big impact in annual design judging
Modesty spoke louder than monuments in this year's crop of Orchids and Onions, San Diego's versions of the Oscars and Razzies for the built environment.
A nine-member jury chose 14 Orchids and eight Onions and the public named one of each in online voting. Little projects got the most bouquets and big ones generally got bunches of the smelly veggies.
Sponsored by the San Diego Architectural Foundation since 2006, O&O is a San Diego tradition going back to the mid-1970s. It's an annual shout-out for the good and bad in architecture, landscaping, public art and other parts of the built environment. The idea is to educate the public and their officials on what it takes to get good design.
As a measure of the public's interest in local design issues, there were 117 Orchid and 30 Onion nominations and thousands of visitors to the program's Web site in the last three months. There were nearly 500 online comments, said the foundation's executive director, Leslee Schaffer.
With development at a near standstill during the recession, the jury had few high-profile projects to consider and instead focused on small-scale developments.
"We were advantaging experimental or issue-driven work rather than formal solutions," said Leslie Ryan, a juror and landscape architect at AEREA.
The prime example was the Grand Orchid winner: The Station Tavern and Burgers in South Park, a tiny eatery designed by Lloyd Russell and owned and developed by Sam Chammas. The jury said it liked everything about the rustic-looking building that occupies a block that the 30th Street trolley line once passed through.
"It was the least obvious choice," Ryan said. But it carries a universal message: "We have to figure out how small projects can scale up, how demonstration projects can be applied to larger settings."
Other small-scale Orchids went to MXD830, a mixed-use project in Golden Hill, which earlier this year won the architectural foundation's Community Award; the 1906 Lodge bed-and-breakfast inn in Coronado; North Park Art Produce gallery; Starlite lounge in Middletown; and the Bacon Street architectural offices for the Hanna Gabriel Wells firm in Ocean Beach (winner of several American Institute of Architects-San Diego awards in June).
The Grand Onion, given to the Vantage Pointe condo tower downtown, sent a different message — not that the building itself is ugly and a blight on the cityscape, but that its ground floor does not relate well to pedestrians.
"The issue here is about civic responsibility that the city and the developers must realize they missed," the jury said. "The absolute neglect of how the building engages the street and how people will use or not be able to use, the public interface is the worst kind of building the city has seen in the past decade, leaving people to ask when will this kind of thing stop."
No one from Pointe of View Development, which completed the 40-story project on B Street this year, showed up to accept a bunch of onions. Company officials did not return phone calls seeking comment.
In fact only two Onion recipients were brave enough to appear — San Diego Planning Director Bill Anderson for the city's interim height ordinance in Hillcrest (the jury thought comprehensive planning was needed instead, a step Anderson said is in the works), and San Diego Gas & Electric's Chip Fox for nondescript utility boxes, which the jury said should be redesigned to beautify neighborhoods. Architect Graham Downes accepted the Onions on the behalf of the no-shows and offered mock apologies or defenses.
Juror Russ Haley, vice president of CityMark Development, which specializes in infill condo projects, suggested the problem with Vantage Pointe was not ineffective city design policies but a failure to achieve greatness by the Canadian builder and its architects, SR Architecture, both from Calgary, Alberta.

"Delhi Airport" Top 5 Page for this destination General Tip by husain
General, Delhi: 32 reviews and 38 photos
The changes on the airports scenario in India are coming into play rapidly. After decades of crumbling airports and infrastructure in general, there is a huge investment into that sector finally and theres new/upgraded airports springing up in various cities.
Delhi airport now has a swanky new domestic terminal and a soon to be commissioned integrated domestic/international terminal, which will be one of the largest in the world.
The current new domestic terminal will then serve as an exclusive terminal for the budget airlines.
For those who may remember the old domestic terminal (1B), that has already been demolished. If you are flying Air India (domestic), however, you need to use the old termila 1A. That too has been rennovated and once the brand new terminal is operational, it is scheduled to be demolished as well.
They are also connecting the airport to central Delhi via a high speed rail network, and work on that is nearing completion, and will be operational, in time for the upcoming Commonwealth games. Passengers will bbe able to check in at the stations itself...

» Hercules Offshore Management Discusses Q3 2013 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Son P. Vann
Thank you, Dave. Good morning, and welcome everyone, to our fourth quarter and full year 2013 earnings call. With me today are: John Rynd, CEO and President; and Stephen Butz, Executive Vice President and CFO; along with members of our senior management team, including Troy Carson, Senior Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer; Beau Thompson, General Counsel; and Craig Muirhead, Vice President and Treasurer. This morning, we issued our fourth quarter results and filed an 8-K with SEC. The press release is available on our website, herculesoffshore.com. John will begin the call with some broad remarks regarding our quarterly performance, current market conditions and recent company events. Stephen will follow with a more detailed financial discussion and provide cost guidance for 2014. We will then open the call up for Q&A.
Before we begin, let me remind everyone that our call will contain forward-looking statements. Except for statements of historical facts, all statements that address our outlook for 2014 and beyond, as well as activities, events or developments that we expect, estimate, project, believe or anticipate may or will occur in the future, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results. Actual future results could differ materially from those described in such statements. You can obtain more information about these risks and other factors in our SEC filings, which can also be found on the SEC's website, as well as our website, sec.gov., herculesoffshore.com. Now with that, let me turn the call over to John.
John T. Rynd
Good morning, everyone, and thanks for joining us today. This morning, we reported fourth quarter and full year 2013 results. For the fourth quarter, we incurred a loss from continuing operations of $100.8 million or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to income of $2.4 million or $0.01 per share in the fourth quarter 2012. The latest quarterly results include several nonoperational items that reduced our income from continuing operations by $123.4 million or $0.77 per share, which Stephen will discuss in greater detail in his prepared remarks. Excluding the impact of these items, our adjusted fourth quarter 2013 income from continuing operations was $0.14 per share. For the full year 2013, we reported net loss of continuing operations of $26.8 million or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $121 million or $0.79 per diluted share for 2012. Excluding nonoperational items, adjusted income from continuing operations was $44 million or $0.27 per share for the full year 2013, versus a loss of $62 million or $0.40 per share for 2012. We had a number of achievements in 2013, along with a few setbacks, but overall, the year marks a pivotal period for Hercules Offshore as we took several steps to modernize our fleet, rationalize our asset mix and reduce our cost to capital. So before I discuss the market outlook, I would like to briefly highlight some of these key accomplishments. The most significant was our acquisition of Discovery Offshore. With Discovery, we now have full ownership of 2 premier super A-class jackups rigs, the Hercules Triumph and Hercules Resilience, that we expect will command premium pricing for many years to come. Since acquiring these rigs, we have placed the Triumph on a high dayrate, short-term contract in India. While we missed on a few long-term opportunities earlier in the year, primarily because we were too bullish on pricing, I believe that we are now close to securing a multiyear opportunity for one of the rigs. The main contract terms have been agreed to, and we are hopeful that we can finalize the contract within the next month. If we are successful securing this work, startup is expected some time during the third quarter of 2014, at a dayrate in the low $200,000 levels. We are also in discussions of the shorter-term opportunities for both rigs. Pricing on these shorter-term jobs can vary by location, ranging from a low of $160,000 per day, to a high of $200,000 plus, depending on the operators' requirements. In keeping with our fleet renewal strategy, we also acquired a relatively new, high-capacity liftboat in West Africa, the Bull Ray. Demand and pricing for the vessel has surpassed our initial expectations. In fact, in its first full year of operations, we estimate that the cash flow generated from the Bull Ray alone is almost as much as what the entire Domestic Liftboat segment generated during our last year of ownership. As many of you know, we sold Domestic Liftboats, as well as the inland barge segment last year, in order to better focus resources on businesses that have more attractive long-term growth and return prospects. The sale of these segments generated over $100 million, or about 10x the annual cash flow generated by these segments. We also recently sold the Hercules 170 for approximately $8 million, a rig that has been stacked in the Middle East since 2009, with limited prospects of returning to service for us. We also continue to make progress on the balance sheet, lengthening our maturity profile and reducing our borrowing cost. Our most recent refinancing lowers our borrowing cost on a quarter of our debt by 300 basis points and over the next 4 years, we have early redemption options on our remaining debt, allowing for the possibility of further reductions in our fixed charges. I am confident that the these strategic moves, coupled with our revenue backlog of over $1 billion, will improve our long-term competitive position and reduce the volatility of our overall operations.

I bought a humber 3-spd for $10 at a swap meet about 2 years ago, just because I loved the chainring, and am now getting ready for the restoration process. The bike looks like it was ridden a few times and put in a barn. I'm not planning on doing a truly authentic restoration as it is missing its fenders and chainguard (don't know if it came with them, though, thanks sheldon). I stripped the bike of every bolt and nut, polished the rust off, repacked the seized bb, and other misc stuff. I will post pics when everything is done. I cut the handgrips off. they were very rough and hurt my hands. They were a grey rubber with some sort of harder material pressed into the rubber, maybe cork?
My budget is $40 give or take. 20 for cleaning supplies, 6 for crank cotters, and the rest for the grips.
Question is, what kind of handgrips should I use?
On a side note, the dunlop tires are in very good shape, considering the age, and if someone wants to trade with me so they can do an authentic restoration, pm me
edit: i found the 3 spd handgrips on harris cyclery, but they dont seem right for my bike. i was thinking dimention leather grips, will those work considering the handlebars are nonstandard size?

@DeepImpact: To be fair, pokemon mythology seems to suggest that humans were created around the same time as pokemon (who were created near the beginning of the world.), and that they somehow had access to /magic/ at some point. The concept of an ancient league might not be that far off. Perhaps it's less about having fun though and more like a hierarchy of sorts. Perhaps the league is the government and the strongest is effectively the ruler.
I'm just musing though.

Helix portable battery has 11,000 mAh of power
If you travel with a lot of gadgets, you know that can be a challenge to keep them powered up. If you're roaming using something like an iPhone and you make a bunch of calls or get bored and play a game while waiting for your plane to land, your phone can be almost dead before you know it. If you don't have access to an outlet or some sort portable battery you could end up out of touch for an entire day.

text: Shaw University Employee Wins $2M Powerball Jackpot; Endows ScholarshipJuly 11, 2014 - Long-time Shaw University employee Marilyn Fields claimed a $2 million Powerball jackpot prize yesterday. She will use some of the money to fully endow a University scholarship she created in 2013.Fields, a 1976 Shaw graduate, serves as the executive assistant to the president and has been an employee for 38 years. She created the Richardson Johnson Fields Endowed Scholarship in September 2013 to honor her parents and to provide financial assistance to Shaw students in need. With $5,000 in seed money, she was able to start the scholarship, but her new found wealth will allow her to fully endow the scholarship to $25,000 to meet University requirements. "For me, it was a miracle to attend Shaw University," Fields said in a statement released by the North Carolina Education Lottery. "By awarding a student with the Richardson Johnson Fields Endowed Scholarship, I can give students who are doing the best that they can academically, but still need financial help, the same opportunity I had."Fields' ties to the University run deep. In addition to being a graduate and an employee, she met her husband Charlie, also a graduate, while she was a student. Her son Brandon graduated from Shaw in 2003 and her daughter Nina attend the University for several years. In October 2013, Fields was inducted into the University's "Crystal Bear Society" for establishing an endowed scholarship."Marilyn is beloved by this institution," said Dr. Gaddis J. Faulcon, Shaw's acting president. "She has been a faithful and consistent donor and has given Shaw her time, talent and money for nearly 40 years. She has sponsored students, given some money and has done whatever she can for those in need. We are thrilled and thankful for her. This could not have happened to a better person."In a few weeks Fields will be celebrating her 60th birthday, but she still plans on retiring at 62. She has not yet decided how much she will give to Shaw, but notes "Shaw was god sent. As long as I live, Shaw will not be free of me." Email Digg Delicious Print Twitter Facebook

The Garden in History
"The Empress Josephine at Malmaison"
Born in Martinique, she introduced to France many plants and flowers from the Caribean, had Napoleon send ships to newly discovered Australia, and in her greenhouses at Malmaison, developed the perpetually-flowering rose. She was the patron of Redouté and created the greatest horticultural garden in France at the time.
"The Winter Queen at Heidelberg"
Elizabeth Stuart, beautiful older sister of King Charles I, created at her husband's capital Heidelberg, gardens known then as a Wonder of the World. Married to the Elector Palatine Frederick V, their rash acceptance of the throne of Bohemia began the Thirty Years War.
"Sixty Years of Royal Gardening:Madame de Pompador, Marie-Antoinette, Empress Josephine"
This talk encompasses the changes from the formal terraces of Madame de Pompadour's houses and her greenhouses where she mixed Sévrès porcelain flowers with nature, to the influence of Rousseau on Marie Antoinette who introded the cottage garden, to the innovative experimentation of Josephine with the unknown plants and trees brought from the New World.
"Louis XIV and the Gardens of Versailles"
Louis made the gardens first, great open green rooms where he entertained his guests before there was a chateau large enough. He held his famous fêtes champêtre there especially during the short season of the rose's flowering, magnificent open air banquets and concerts before the guests were obliged to find a cottage or stable to sleep the night.
"The Winter Queen of Bohemia - 16th Century"
In 1613, Elizabeth Stuart, beautiful daughter of King James I of England, married Frederick V of the Palatine, leader of the Protestant Union of Princes. Their blissful existence at their capital of Heidelberg came to an end when they accepted the throne of Bohemia and were crowned in Prague as King and Queen. When Bohemia ceded from the Catholic Holy Roman Empire, the emperor predicted that the new King and Queen would last just "one winter". In 1620, the Protestant forces were indeed defeated at the Battle of the White Mountain and the Thirty Years War began. In the summer of her youth, Elizabeth was called "The Queen of Hearts". Thereafter she would forever be known as "The Winter Queen".
"Royal Power: The Substance and the Show"
various topics, 17th, 18th and 19th century - royalty and politics
"Monarchy and Motherhood: The Road to Power"
Great Royal mothers (and fathers) in history and the success and failure of their offspring, looking at how their upbringing changed not only their lives but the history of their countries: Henry VIII of England for example and his children, Edward VI, Mary Tudor and the great Elizabeth I, daughter of Anne Boleyn.
"Historical Aspects of the Great Silk Road"
Silk was manufactured in north eastern China in the greatest secrecy for thousands of years before the West knew how it was made. Nonetheless, bales of silk managed to be carried by camel from Imperial China to Imperial Rome. Not until Marco Polo travelled from China back to Europe in the 13th Century did it become known how silk was actually made. As well as silk, merchants traded in much more - spices, precious stones and porcelain amongst other desirable goods. They made their way over icy mountain passes and along the edges of deserts with temperatures varying from -50 at night to +50 by day. As well as the temperatures, traders had to survive sandstorms, quick sand, lack of water - and robbers. Theirs is a fascinating story of alternating greed and heroism.

Web's Largest listing of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding events
2,967 crowdsourcing and crowdfunding sites
Editor's Note: Crowdsourcing.org's editors frequently highlight the most interesting, innovative, or otherwise noteworthy projects that take advantage of crowdsourcing or crowdfunding. We also often discuss projects that have caught our eye in the Crowded Room. If you've got a project you'd like us to know about, please upload it via the add content button above, and share it with us via our social media channels, including Twitter, our Google+ communities (the crowdfunding one is here, crowdsourcing is here) and our Facebook and LinkedIn pages.
Scanadu, a Silicon Valley-based electronics startup founded in early 2011, is concerned about you – specifically, about your health. So it created the Scout, a medical 'tricorder' inspired by Star Trek. From the campaign page:
The strength of Scanadu Scout is in its algorithms, which will analyze measurements' data and interpret them in a way that has never been possible before. It is well known from medical practice that a certain sample size is required to achieve satisfactory performance. With your help and the large pool of devices ... we will have a device that serves you very well, and improve our algorithms by more than 20%. On the longer term, more Scanadu Scouts means better algorithms and a much better device for everyone. Health is us all.
Scanadu initially asked for $100,000 on Indiegogo, a goal it reached in just two hours. Currently, the campaign has raised over $750,000, with more than two weeks before its conclusion. The Scout starts at $199, and reward levels go up to over $4,000 – at $4,225, for instance, backers get 25 units they can order for the office. The creators have added stretch goals to keep momentum going, promising to mark each crowdfunded unit with 'First Edition' when they hit $800,000. Scanadu expects to ship the first units in March 2014.
With two weeks left in the campaign, the Scout is already the seventh most funded project on Indiegogo. It seems certain to become Indiegogo's fourth million-dollar campaign, and could potentially overtake the Tesla Museum project as the most funded Indiegogo campaign.
Moreover, the campaign shows the potential of crowdfunding for medical devices. Kickstarter doesn't allow medical projects to create fundraising pages on its platform, leading many health startups to go with Indiegogo. We've already seen one health-related gadget, the Misfit Shine, do well on Indiegogo, and the Scout is repeating that success. Indiegogo is capitalizing on a niche that falls outside of Kickstarter's guidelines – can other platforms do the same?
Flag This
I have just seen an industry first - Indiegogo have allowed this campaign to extend by 30 days as it was due to finish tomorrow. Is this setting a precedence for other campaigns to follow?
"Hey Indiegogo-ers,
We have some great news to share. As you know, yesterday we passed the $1,000,000 milestone on the Indiegogo campaign. We are in awe of how successful this campaign has been and it would not have been possible without your help.
In response to the overwhelming enthusiasm and demand for the Scanadu Scout™, we will be extending the Indiegogo campaign for another 30 days in order to give even more people the chance to join us. You now have until July 20th to reserve a Scanadu Scout™.
Tell your friends, family and colleagues! They can still help make this the last generation to know so little about our health.
The Scanadu Team"
