As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Astex Therapeutics signed a five-year CRADA with the NCI to study its small molecule HSP90 inhibitor, AT13387, for treatment of various cancers. The NCI's Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD) and Astex will evaluate the compound in multiple Phase I and Phase II trials, both as a single agent and in combination, in patients with tumors that are expected to be sensitive to inhibition of HSP90. Nonclinical studies designed to enhance the development of AT13387 will also be pursued.
AT13387 is retained by and becomes concentrated in tumor cells, creating the opportunity for a highly specific, targeted cancer treatment, according to Astex. It is currently being investigated in a Phase I trial in patients with solid tumors at three centers in Boston. Astex reports that AT13387 is differentiated from other molecules in the class by its potency, extended pharmacodynamics, long tumor half-life, and improved preclinical safety profile.
The new agreement builds on NCI's earlier support of the geldanamycin class of natural product HSP90 inhibitors. Astex is a U.K.-based company that discovers and develops small molecule therapeutics. It has built a pipeline of five molecularly-targeted oncology drugs with its fragment-based drug discovery platform, Pyramid™. Three compounds are currently being tested in clinical trials and two are in preclinical development.

Teodoro Buenaventura is considered as one of the early masters of classical realism. In 1899, he opened a school in his home, the Academia de Dibujo y Pintura, where, among those he mentored, was Isidro Ancheta, Jorge Pineda, and Fernando Amorsolo. As a sizable number of his oeuvre was shamefully destroyed during WWII, an early work of this caliber - of beautiful, almost fairly-like maidens lounging by a stream in a forest - comes only once very so often.

Real-time ad platform AppNexus has launched Twixt, a programmatic solution that aims to streamline the negotiation that happens prior to the execution of a digital ad buy.
Traditionally, digital ads are planned and transacted via email and phone, and processed with Excel and Word, which is time-consuming. Twixt enables ad buyers and sellers to conduct the whole process within a single system, from the initial request for proposal (RFP) to the final decision.
This is how Twixt works: When an ad buyer sends out RFPs through Twixt to a select number of ad sellers, each seller in that group will receive an email, with a link to the buyer's RFP. They then have access to the system and send back their responses to the buyer. At the end of the process, the buyer can pick up a plan based on their needs, and export a final version of the negotiated plan into an Excel spreadsheet, formatted to work with another system. At the same time, the system stores information for the publishers, including ad specs and past proposal responses, so that sellers can track orders.
So far, Twixt is free, but in the future AppNexus could connect the software to ad servers and charge a percentage of dollars that go through the service.
AppNexus has a strong track record in handling the automation of Web display ads. It was the first exchange to offer real-time bidding, and eBay was its first customer. In late 2009, the company hired Michael Rubenstein, the head of Google's exchange at the time, to be its president. In October 2010, Microsoft invested $50 million into AppNexus, and started selling its ad space via this real-time bidding platform.
The New York-based tech start-up is backed by $141 million in venture capital funding, and is expected to be valued at more than $1 billion. Prior to the launch of Twixt, AppNexus hired a new chief financial officer/chief operating officer Jonathan Hsu, indicating the company is preparing for an IPO.

"Our Suboxone program is one of Middle Tennessee's most comprehensive approaches to outpatient opiate addiction treatment. Opiate Use Disorder continues to be a major health problem in Tennessee along with the rest of the Nation. Recovery Consulting Service offers assessment, counseling, education and Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) to the residents of Middle Tennessee for this complex but treatable health condition. By working closely with physicians who are certified to prescribe Suboxone and other opioid replacement medications, we are able to provide effective opiate addiction counseling, in an outpatient setting. The medication manages withdrawal and cravings. The counseling focuses on decreasing stress and anxiety while increasing relapse prevention skills, recovery knowledge, and overall emotional wellness. We offer individual sessions as well as small groups of 3 to 5 participants. The sessions take place at our Murfreesboro office or at participating physician's offices in Middle Tennessee. Addiction and co-occurring anxiety are complex health conditions. I understand that. I have been there. However, recovery is achievable and sustainable. From the first phone call to the final session, you will be treated with dignity and respect. Call today."

"Recovery is hard. It takes courage. It takes commitment. It takes a person wanting to be free. Many of our patients have been in out of recovery programs and rehab facilities. They work for many, but not for all. Buprenorphine (suboxone) treatments help satiate the craving and pain needs for an opiate dependent person without the euphoric highs that cause dangerous or unpredictable behavior. In short, a person on buprenorphine treatments can function well without the side effects of opiates. Managing the treatment will be done in 14 day intervals. You can expect to see your doctor and the addiction counselor twice a month. The core story mapping with Coaching: Life Matters can be scheduled to coincide with these treatments, or separately. You can expect to have 5-7 meetings to complete this portion of the program, which costs nothing to our patients."

With Apple Stalling, Steve Jobs Looks to Digital Entertainment
New Online-Music Service Faces Tough Competition
About a month ago, Steve Jobs, the chief executive of Apple Computer Inc. AAPL -1.55 % and Pixar Animation Studios, made a plea to Irving Azoff, the manager of the rock group the Eagles.
According to Mr. Azoff, Mr. Jobs called to ask that music by the Eagles be included in a new online music service that Apple is launching on Monday. "Please, please, please clear this," Mr. Jobs said, knowing the Eagles in the past have blocked the use of their songs on digital-music services. Mr. Jobs even offered to personally demonstrate the service for Mr. Azoff and to make his case directly to Eagles singer Don Henley.
Scheduling conflicts prevented the personal visits, but the entreaty worked. Earlier this week, the Eagles and AOL Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Music struck a deal, allowing most of the band's music to be used by Apple's service. "I've said 'no' to all of them," Mr. Azoff says of other music services. "But I don't like their services, and I liked [Apple's] product."
The phone call -- and its outcome -- signal Mr. Jobs's new direction. While the 48-year-old CEO's roots are in the arcane programming codes of Silicon Valley, Mr. Jobs is today increasingly fashioning himself as a digital-entertainment impresario. Over the past two years, he has turned Apple into a producer of entertainment technology for digital photos, movies and music, culminating in next week's unveiling of the online-music service.
Recently, there have been preliminary talks about whether Apple would buy or invest in Vivendi Universal SA V -1.27 % 's Universal Music Group. Those appear to have stalled for now. Pixar, meanwhile, has churned out hit after hit in digital animation. Its next feature, "Finding Nemo," an undersea adventure aimed at family audiences, opens May 30.
Mr. Jobs may have little choice but to head in this direction. While he steadied a faltering Apple in the late 1990s with innovative hardware such as the iMac personal computer, the company's growth has since stalled. Apple's market share has steadily eroded to just 2.3% of the world-wide computer market, down from 9.4% 10 years ago. Unless Mr. Jobs finds a way to strike a new chord with computer buyers, the Cupertino, Calif., company may be marginalized even further.
Mr. Jobs, who is famously secretive about his endeavors, declined to comment, as did spokeswomen for Apple and Pixar.
Digital entertainment is a natural avenue for Mr. Jobs. He exhibits a zeal for self-promotion and pleasing performers that make him at home in Hollywood's culture of schmooze. Perpetually clad in jeans and a black turtleneck, he isn't shy about pitching himself as an artist-friendly alternative to Silicon Valley's techies. At a two-hour breakfast with quirky Icelandic singer Bjork at New York's Four Seasons Hotel in July 2001, he told her the motivation behind much of his work is "to make tools for creative people," says Bjork's manager, Scott Rodger, who attended the meal.
But Mr. Jobs is in for a long fight if he hopes entertainment will transform his computer company. Larger competitors, including Microsoft Corp. MSFT -1.09 % and Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ -0.65 % , are also scrambling to get into digital music, video and photos. And past efforts in this area, such as Sony Corp.'s attempts to combine consumer electronics with entertainment programming, have been launched with fanfare only to produce few results, dogged by copyright and technical problems.
Mr. Jobs is at a crossroads in other respects, as well. Even as he attempts to revive Apple and launch the music service, Pixar faces a crucial moment. The Emeryville, Calif., studio's deal to co-finance and distribute films with Walt Disney Co. DIS -0.43 % expires in 2005. Mr. Jobs is already exploring whether to stick with Disney -- with which he has had a successful but fractious relationship -- or find another studio partner.
Mr. Jobs, who co-founded Apple in 1976 at age 21, has a track record of foreseeing how to make technology inviting to consumers. He helped pioneer the distinctive Macintosh computers, with features that became standard: a screen divided into windows, pull-down menus, icons and the mouse. Always a mercurial figure, he was ousted from Apple in 1985 in a boardroom coup by then-Chief Executive John Sculley.
Exiled from Apple, Mr. Jobs branched out. In 1985, he started a high-end computer company, NeXT Software Inc., which he later sold to Apple for $430 million. In 1986, he purchased the computer division of George Lucas's Lucasfilm Ltd., renaming it Pixar. The company has used computer technology to render lifelike images, revolutionizing the mostly hand-drawn world of movie animation.
By 1997, he had returned as CEO to Apple, which he runs separately from Pixar. He has slimmed Apple's product lines and introduced breakthrough products, such as the iMacs, with their flashy indigo and ruby casings -- a far cry from the standard beige box.
At Apple, Mr. Jobs only began to look seriously at entertainment in the late 1990s, just before the tech bubble popped, says a person familiar with the company. Apple began building an application-software division, rolling out products such as iMovie, a digital-video program that lets users edit their own home movies.
But as the tech recession took hold in 2000, Apple's sales slammed into a wall. In early 2001, it reported its first net loss in more than three years.
Mr. Jobs and his Apple team came up with the idea of pushing Macintoshes as the centerpiece of the "digital lifestyle." But while they were focusing on iMovie, the real revolution exploded in digital music. By 2000, Napster Inc., the free music-file-sharing technology, had burst onto the scene. "We said, 'Hey, wait a minute,' " recalls one Apple executive.
Work began on iTunes, Apple's digital-music program, and the iPod, its small digital-music player. The company introduced both in 2001, around the time it coined the slogan "Rip. Mix. Burn." -- a bold reference to the iMac's ability to copy music and make customized CDs.
Now, the latest piece of Mr. Jobs's digital entertainment efforts -- the online-music service it expects to announce Monday -- is reaching fruition. Mr. Jobs has long criticized other online-music services as difficult to use. Apple's approach, say people who have seen it and spoken to Mr. Jobs, is to make delivery of online music easy and intuitive.
Several months ago, Mr. Jobs began a campaign to persuade record labels to let him use their music. He wooed music executives, inviting several to Apple's Cupertino headquarters, where they ate at the company's cafeteria -- famous for its vegetarian meals, following Mr. Jobs's own diet. He has also visited record executives in New York and Los Angeles.
He impressed music-industry executives with his intricate knowledge of the new service, say people who have met with him. In some meetings, he sat at the computer himself to demonstrate. With his trademark confidence, he has asserted Apple will transform the online-music business, claiming that consumers will pay to download millions of songs in just a few months. And he has promised Apple's marketing machine will swing into action behind the music initiative, with an ad blitz similar to Apple's "Think Different" and "Switch" campaigns.
Mr. Jobs hopes to create a new model for online music, a business that so far has only been able to draw large numbers of customers seeking free tunes on Napster and other renegade file-swapping services. Napster grew quickly and peaked with about 60 million users but shut down in 2001 after losing a legal battle with the recording industry.
Napster has been replaced by other free services with names such as Kazaa and Morpheus, which the record labels are battling with a variety of legal actions. The labels themselves own subscription services such as pressplay and MusicNet. But those and other industry-authorized outfits have struggled to compete against the free online bazaars.
According to people who have met with Mr. Jobs, the new service is integrated with Apple's iTunes software. Only Apple customers can use it, but that may change. The service requires a mouse click to buy songs and additional simple steps to move them to a CD or an iPod. Apple will charge 99 cents per song and sell albums for around $10, they say. Users will get to keep the songs permanently.
Perhaps most important, Mr. Jobs has convinced record executives he's willing to end his provocative dance with digital piracy, symbolized by the slogan "Rip. Mix. Burn." That tag created a furor among entertainment executives, including Disney CEO Michael Eisner, who publicly complained that it amounted to an invitation to steal copyrighted material. While Mr. Jobs has told music officials that he believes any protection is ultimately vulnerable to hackers, he has promised the new service will put up barriers to "keep honest people honest."
For one, music bought through Apple's service will be protected so that it will be more difficult to use an iPod to transfer songs from one computer to another. Users also won't be able easily to e-mail copies of their purchases, or transfer them to the computers of friends. (However, a customer will be able to play the songs on up to three Macintosh computers that he or she designates, as well as an unlimited number of personal iPods registered to him or her.)
In addition to the Eagles, Mr. Jobs has signed up the hot band No Doubt, and other artists who haven't yet allowed their songs to be offered by legitimate online companies. The new service is expected to have an "exclusives" area for music not available elsewhere.
Apple may still be overshadowed by the competing services owned by the record labels and by Listen.com Inc.'s Rhapsody, which recently agreed to be acquired by the software company RealNetworks Inc. "Apple has their core market of 3% to 5%" of computer users, says Rob Glaser, chief executive of RealNetworks. "I guess we'll have to settle for the other 95%."
AOL Time Warner's America Online, which already offers its own online-subscription service, is expected to launch a download-sales program similar to Apple's service later this year. The online giant introduced a pilot version last summer. It is now seeking permission from labels other than its sister Warner Music to use their music for a service similar to Apple's, according to people with knowledge of the matter. AOL executives say that because of their enormous audience, and their existing relationships with artists, their service will be able to set itself apart from smaller rivals such as Apple with early access to songs.
Despite the long odds, the success of Pixar shows what Mr. Jobs may be capable of in the entertainment arena. Since releasing the movie "Toy Story" in 1995, the studio's four feature-length films have all been critical and financial successes. So far, they have raked in $1.73 billion in world-wide box-office receipts.
Through Pixar, Mr. Jobs has gotten a lengthy tutorial in Hollywood negotiating. When "Toy Story" took off unexpectedly, Pixar and Walt Disney signed a five-film deal, calling for them to split production costs and profits. As is frequently the case, Mr. Jobs was intimately involved in all aspects of the negotiations. At one point, according to people familiar with the matter, he haggled with Disney over how the two companies' logos would appear in film credits and advertising.
After the Disney agreement expires in 2005, Pixar may walk away from the partnership. The reasons range from Mr. Jobs's huge ambitions for the studio to strains in his relations with Mr. Eisner. Earlier this year, Pixar met with other studios -- including AOL Time Warner's Warner Bros., Sony and News Corp.'s 20th Century Fox -- and began financing its first film without Disney's help. Some speculated Mr. Jobs might choose a new studio partner by this spring, though people close to him now say it is unlikely he will strike a new deal -- with Disney or anyone else -- until the end of the year, at the earliest.
The Burbank entertainment giant now finds itself pitching to Mr. Jobs as if he were a new account, even though Pixar and Disney have worked together for years. In recognition of Mr. Jobs's apparent distaste for Mr. Eisner, other Disney executives even sought for a while to keep Mr. Eisner away from Mr. Jobs as much as possible. Disney declined to comment.
When Disney screened "Finding Nemo" for theater owners in Las Vegas last month, Disney Studios Chairman Dick Cook called the Disney-Pixar relationship "unparalleled" in motion-picture history. He introduced Mr. Jobs as "a man who literally taught the world to think differently" and as Disney's "good friend." Mr. Cook, who has maintained a friendly relationship with Mr. Jobs, has been leading the Pixar discussions.
In the past few weeks, relations with Disney have improved. At Mr. Cook's urging, Mr. Eisner earlier this month visited Mr. Jobs in Northern California for what was described by people close to them as a long and relatively amicable private dinner.

I am long ADIC and plan to stay that way, but Ido have a question that might sound pessimistic inthe short term. CRDS is already valued significantlymore than ZOOX and VIXL yet does not have the samelevel of revenues and I believe is farther away fromturning a profit. I don't know that I see CRDS going upfrom here. This, combined with ADIC's earnings releasebeing still over 6 weeks away (at least I believe it isin December -- could be wrong), makes me wonder whatis going to make the stock do anything but driftbetween $26 and $31 for awhile. It seems the only thingthat might help is an announcement.I wouldcertainly like to hear anyone's comments.

They have no marketing plan. They get a grade of F from me in marketing.As far as all the trauma from the BCSC episode, give me a break. DA is well compensated for his efforts. He is responsible for everything that happens and fails to happen. It seems like many on this board always want to show DA and associates sympathy for how difficult it must have been to suffer at the hands of the BCSC. If they can't hack that, how the hell are they going to build and operate a world class gold mine? Go look at the CEO of Alexco Resources for example. There is a man that gets things done. It is called leadership. DA may be a great explorer and scientist. He just does not strike me as the right man for the job ahead which will make or break RBY.
haiurban - one more thing - at this point how could David be anything other than an explorer and scientst? The rest will follow
hairbrain - Your saying Alexco Resources is a better pick than RBY? Please. Even if you were smart enough to buy Alexco last year which I doubt, the best you did is double up. People here have done a lot better than that with RMX RBY. Alexco - overpriced. Rode the Yukon wave but has only one way to go from here. RBY is in a class by itself. Just wait until after the PEA - the results will market themselves.
This is exactly my concern. Does DA have a proven track record in mine construction and operations? From my research, I don't see the experience needed for the scale of this project. I am not taking anything away from DA regarding his and his teams exploration work, nor his ability to buy properties.Exploration, development and operations are all totally different skill sets. I am convinced that if RBY truly has a world class deposit, than it needs to put into the hands of a world class mining CEO with a proven track record. Business is business.
I am long shares.
I trust that you are shorting Rubicon. If you don't have faith in management you shouldn't hold the stock. Just a basic principle in investing.
hailurban - do you own shares? Let's start from there

text: Telocytes (TCs) are a distinct interstitial cell population, first described in 2010 [1, 2]. They are found in several mammalian and human organs [3-20]. The main characteristic of TCs is the presence of telopodes (Tps), visible using electron microscopy. Tps are composed of alternating thin segments (podomers) and thick segments (podoms). Renal interstitial cells are involved in many diseases, such as acute interstitial nephritis [21], chronic allograft rejection [22] and ischaemia reperfusion injury [23]. Traditionally, fibroblasts and immune cells are considered the main interstitial cells in kidneys [24, 25]. However, renal stromal cells have great morphological plasticity. In the past, these cells were arbitrarily called 'fibroblasts', despite the fact that the main function of fibroblasts is structural (to produce collagen and collagen fibrils). In normal kidney cortex interstitium, collagen is not at all abundant. This could suggest that the kidney interstitial cells are heterogeneous in their phenotype. Up to date, there are no reports regarding the presence of TCs in the kidney interstitium. This study aimed to investigate the presence of TCs in the human kidney cortex, using primary cell culture, vital cell staining with Janus Green B, mitochondrial labelling using Mito Tracker Green, immunocytochemistry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and in situ immunohistochemistry (IHC).

No-No Boy
No-No Boy is a 1957 novel, the only novel published by Japanese American writer John Okada. Set in Seattle, Washington in 1946 and written in the voice of an omniscient narrator who frequently blends into the voice of the protagonist, it is about one Japanese American in the aftermath of the incarceration during World War II.
Ichiro Yamada, a Japanese American male and former student at the University of Washington, returns home in 1946 to a Japanese enclave in Seattle, Washington. He has spent two years in a Japanese internment camp and two years in federal prison for refusing to fight for the U.S. in World War II. Now home, Ichiro struggles with his parents for embracing American customs and values and he faces ostracism from the Japanese community for refusing to join the U.S. military and fight Japan when many in his community did.
During the war, the U.S. government grew paranoid that ethnically Japanese residents who chose not to fight were loyal to Japan. In the spring of 1942, the government began removing Japanese and Japanese American families from their homes and sending them to live in remote internment camps. The government also asked Japanese Americans to answer questionnaires, where affirmative answers signaled unwavering loyalty to the U.S. For varied reasons, many respondents answered "no" to questions 27 and 28 and became known as "No-No Boys." Perceived as disloyal to the U.S. but not fully Japanese, Ichiro struggles to find his path. Through Ichiro's story, Okada examines what it means to be American in a post-war city whose nonwhite communities are struggling to find their places.
The epithet 'no-no boy' came from two questions on the Leave Clearance Application Form, also known as the "loyalty questionnaire," administered to interned Japanese Americans in 1943. Some young male internees answered "no" to one or both of these questions:
- "Are you willing to serve in the armed forces of the United States on combat duty wherever ordered?"
- "Will you swear unqualified allegiance to the United States of America and faithfully defend the United States from any or all attack by foreign or domestic forces, and forswear any form of allegiance or obedience to the Japanese emperor, to any other foreign government, power or organization?"
Both questions were confusing to many respondents. Regarding the first, some respondents thought that by answering yes, they were signing up for combat duty, while others, given their forced removal and incarceration, said no to resist the draft. Regarding the second, to many respondents, most of whom were American citizens, it implied that the respondent had already sworn allegiance to the Japanese emperor. They saw the second question as a trap, and rejected the premise by answering no. Afterwards, all who answered "no" to one or both questions, or who gave an affirmative answer but qualified it with statements like, "I'll serve in the military after my family is freed," were sent to the Tule Lake Segregation Center.[1] Approximately 300 young men would serve time in federal prison for refusing to join the military from camp.[2][3]
The basic plot is not autobiographical. Okada, a Seattlite like his protagonist, served in the U.S. military himself. The novel was published in 1957 and remained obscure until much later. He died prematurely at age 47 in 1971. A few years later, two young Asian American men heard of Okada and his novel, and resolved to revive interest in the novel. With the cooperation of Okada's widow, they had it republished in 1976, and there was a second printing in 1977. Since that time, it has become a staple of college assigned reading.
Content of the novel[edit]
Although a crucial part of the novel's setting is the injustice of the internment of Japanese Americans, the novel is not a polemic about that event. Ichiro's turmoil during the novel also has much to do with rejecting his mother, whose personality and worldviews he despises and resents. His dissatisfaction with her is personal, going beyond her stance on the war. In chapter 1, it is disclosed that his mother and at least one of her women friends are loyal to Japan, refuse to believe the news that Japan lost the war, and are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Japanese warships in Seattle. They even refuse to accept the evidence of photos they have seen of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the atomic bombings. These attitudes antagonize Ichiro and other Japanese Americans.
2010 play adaptation[edit]
The novel was adapted as a stage play of the same title by Ken Narasaki. The play had its world premiere on March 26, 2010 at the Miles Memorial Playhouse in Santa Monica, California.[4]

I've been a patient of Dr. Wolverton's off and on for over 20 years. You could not possibly find a more empathic and skilled therapist than Dr. Wolverton. His sensitivity, goodness, gentleness, wisdom, and discernment are always evident. He has been a tremendous positive influence and support in my life and I cannot begin to say how grateful I am for him.
I had an initial 2 hr consultation with Dr. Wolverton. He ultimately decided we wouldn't be a good fit, but he went above and beyond in search of a professional who could and followed up with me to be sure we got in touch. He even waived his fee since he couldn't help but deserved the pay. Luckily insurance took care of him. He is very intelligent and descriptive and makes sure one understands his questions. He is friendly, calm and gentle-natured with a hint of humor. I can't thank him enough. If you need help, please seek him out.

Scientists Evaluate the Noses of Early Human Ancestors
Monday, March 28, 2016
, published in PLOS Computational Biology, found that non-human primates are better able to condition air, which flows horizontally through their nasal passages, while in humans, it flows upward and curves. But when the team made virtual modifications to the human nose so that its airflow would be horizontal, its air-conditioning performance did not improve. The scientists note that as human ancestors evolved flat faces, protruding external noses, and a short nasal cavity, the pharyngeal cavity lengthened to condition inhaled air for the lungs. Thus, the human high-nasal cavity may have evolved to compensate for other facial changes in the genus Homo. To read about the evolution of the throwing motion, go to "No Changeups on the Savannah."KYOTO, JAPAN—It had been thought that shifting climate led to adaptive evolutionary changes in the nasal cavity of the genus Homo. To test this idea, Takeshi Nishimura of Kyoto University and his colleagues used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and 3-D models of the nasal passages of humans, chimpanzees, and macaques to evaluate how well their nasal passages conditioned inhaled air to the correct temperature and humidity for use by the lungs.

Asikana Network puts African Women in Tech groups on the map
Zambia's Women in Technology organisation Asikana Network has created a map of the continent's Women in Tech organisations, projects and initiatives.
Your exclusive guide to CIO trends
A collection of our most popular articles for IT leaders from the first few months of 2016, including: - Corporate giants recruit digitally-minded outsiders to drive transformation - Analytics platforms to drive strategy in 2016 - Next generation: The changing role of IT leaders.

To strengthen the network of Women in Tech groups, in Africa, the project identifies sister organisations across the continent including the likes of Akira Chix in Kenya and WITU in Uganda. The Asikana Network is housed at Bongohive, Zambia's Technology & Innovation Hub.
"It's extremely difficult for females in ICT to land their dream ICT jobs because it is still considered a male dominated field," said Ella Mbewe, co-founder of the Asikana Network.
According to Mbewe to be successful, in technology, women have to work twice as hard and be extremely resilient: "We formed the Asikana Network for women facing these challenges to come together to support one another.
"We aim to change perceptions and behavior towards women in ICT and to level the playing field for those young women who come behind us. Hopefully they will not have to face the same obstacles and we will help them to succeed."
The Network was founded last year by three Zambian women working in the ICT sector in Lasaka: Ella Mbewe, Regina Mtonga and Chisenga Muyoya.
Through the use of Ushahidi CrowdMap, an online mapping platform, created by Kenyans, finds and references African Women in Tech groups through social media and crowdsourcing.
Regina Mtonga, co-Founder, Asikana Network, said: "This is a very positive story about Africa that directly contrasts the negative stereo-typing of Africa as a continent dominated by poverty, corruption and hopelessness. The technology sector is booming in Africa and we want women's participation to be recognised and valued."
On why they chose to use a mapping initiative Chisenga Muyoya, co-founder said: "We think that crowd-mapping is the perfect way to make visible the wealth of women's talent and enterprise springing up all across Africa.
"We want Women in Tech organisations out there to put themselves on the map, make themselves visible and help us to build a supportive and strong community of African Women in Technology."

Threatened by iPad, PCs start to look like tablets

In this product image provided by Acer Inc., the Acer Iconia laptop is displayed. The Iconia, a Windows laptop that looks like any other when the lid is down. When you open it, you'll find two touch-sensitive screens and no keyboard, similar to a tablet computer. To type, you bring up a virtual keyboard on the lower screen. If you're not using the keyboard, Web pages can flow from the top screen to the bottom one.(AP Photo/Acer Inc.)
The response by computer makers to the iPad stealing sales from them: Make their PCs more like iPads.
The "if you can't beat `em, join `em" strategy" is prompting a wave of experimentation with the design of the laptop, which has been largely unchanged for two decades. Touch-sensitive screens and the use of Google's Android system for mobile devices are two ways the PC industry is adapting.
About 50 million tablets are expected to be sold this year, and that could double to as many as 100 million next year. PC shipments worldwide grew just over 2 percent in the second quarter, short of what research firms IDC and Gartner had expected. The popularity of tablet computers was one of the main reasons.
One way PC makers are countering the threat is with iPad-style tablets running Android, but these haven't seen wide success so far. And in trying to emulate the iPad, they're competing with not just Apple, but also with phone makers such as Motorola Inc., which are launching their own tablets.
So PC makers are offering hybrids that try to offer the best of both worlds. Some are tablet-like devices that come with keyboards, which the iPad doesn't have. Others are PC-like, combining the tablet's signature touch-screen with the ability to run heavy-duty Windows programs for photo editing and design.
Witness the Acer Iconia, a Windows laptop that looks like any other when the lid is down. When you open it, you'll find two touch-sensitive screens and no keyboard, similar to a tablet computer. To type, you bring up a virtual keyboard on the lower screen. If you're not using the keyboard, Web pages can flow from the top screen to the bottom one.
Another iPad-like laptop is the Dell Inspiron Duo. Its screen can be flipped around to face outward when the lid is closed. When folded that way, it works like a tablet.
Lenovo Group also sells a Windows laptop with a screen that can be detached from the keyboard to function as an Android tablet.
"We should learn some things from tablets," such as the iPad's user-friendly interface and the ease of installing software from outside parties, said Yang Yuanquing, the CEO of Lenovo, the world's fourth-largest maker of PCs.
Hewlett-Packard Co., the world's largest maker of personal computers, is giving its PCs the ability to run applications written for its webOS software, which runs on smartphones and a tablet, the TouchPad.
In their experimentation, PC makers are reviving designs haven't been very successful in their previous incarnations. The laptop with a screen that detaches to become a tablet is an idea that dates to 2002, when a flurry of tablet computers debuted along with Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Tablet Edition.
This earlier generation of tablet PCs didn't catch on because they were expensive and too heavy for comfortable use in tablet mode. "Windows Tablet Edition" wasn't much different from regular Windows, and it wasn't fully adapted for tablet use. Microsoft added more touch-oriented features when it released Windows 7 in 2009.
Even with the improvements in Windows, however, the PC faces hurdles in mimicking the tablet's design.
Windows isn't a very friendly operating system for tablets, partly because it needs Intel-style processors to run on. These chips drain batteries much faster than the cellphone-style chips used in the iPad, with a core designed by ARM Holdings PLC. ARM chips can save power by turning off parts of themselves when they're not in use, among other tricks.
"A lot of what makes the iPad an iPad is the long battery life," technology analyst Rob Enderle said.
Windows-based PCs and tablet computers that use Intel chips need bigger batteries, which make the devices heavier. Even then, the batteries don't last as long as the iPad's. The Dell Inspiron Duo weighs 3.4 pounds, or two and a half times the weight of the iPad. It has four hours of battery life, compared with 10 on the iPad.
Microsoft is hard at work developing a version of Windows that will run on ARM chips, and it's expected to be ready next year. That means the next generation of laptops could match the iPad for weight and battery life.
But while waiting for the new software, PC makers are in an uncomfortable situation. The new software might be what they need, but in the meantime, they have to try other means to distract consumers from the iPad, such as borrowing tablet features. These experiments with laptop-tablet hybrids are unlikely to be as important as the advent of the new system, currently dubbed Windows 8. But something might stick, providing a model for the future of PCs.
"Right now the PC industry is fighting kind of a holding action," Enderle said.

Reaction from the left to possibility of Mary Burke running for governor
Some reaction on the left to the possibility that Mary Burke, a Madison School Board member and former Trek Bicycle executive, could run against Gov. Scott Walker in 2014:
John Nichols, Capital Times columnist:
"While the governor counts his campaigns by the dozen, Burke has run one nonpartisan race for a local office. And she did that only last year.
"That's significant because electoral politics is not a meritocracy. In a race between a capable campaigner and a capable administrator, the campaigner has plenty of advantages.
"If Burke wants to run against Walker, she should worry less about domain names and polling data and more about getting into the fray."
"That goes for other potential challengers as well.
"It's county fair and festival season. This is the right time for candidates to go out and meet Wisconsin voters. And, as much as polling and strategy and television ads and money matter, it still matters to meet voters."
Ruth Conniff of The Progressive, writing in Isthmus:
"In part, Burke's name has caused a stir because of her money. Her ability to put millions into her own campaign gives her a jumpstart, and will likely attract groups like EMILY's List, which supports pro-choice women candidates who have a real chance to win.
"That becomes a bigger deal the longer we don't know who else might run against Walker. Anyone who has to start raising money has no time to waste."
Chris Liebenthal, Cognitive Dissidence blogger, on Twitter:
"If the best that WISDEMS can come up with is Mary Burke, we're screwed."

Why Most Ad Campaigns Fail
Why Do Most Ad Campaigns Fail?
"Advertising is the very essence of democracy. An election goes on every minute of the day where customers determine the leader." (- Bruce Barton)
Advertisers always ask the question "what will make my campaign successful"?
Before answering, let's define and understand what advertising is. According to Webster, the definition of advertising is "to tell about or praise (a product, service, etc.) publicly, as through newspapers, handbills, radio, etc., so as to make people want to buy it".
Most advertisers focus on the first part… telling people about their product or service. This is why most advertising fails. Telling your story alone won't make people want to buy.
There are two sides to the purchasing coin… logic and emotion. The decision to buy is made on the emotional level first, and then backed up with logic. Most advertising provides the consumer with plenty of logical reasons but little to no emotion.
Do your ads convey emotion? Are you reaching deep into the hearts of those coveted customers? If you want a successful campaign, create ads that appeal to the emotions.
Another reason why campaigns fail is that most ads are filled with clichés.
When it comes to advertising, a cliché is defined as a statement every marketer makes but no one believes. Have you noticed that every advertiser has the best selection, the absolute lowest prices and world-class customer service reps & sales staff?
Rather than loading your ads with clichés, consider using words that are powerful, colorful, descriptive and relevant. Create your ads from the customers' point of view, not yours. If you want a successful campaign, stop using meaningless clichés.
Many ad campaigns fail due to advertisers putting too much information and too many different thoughts in their ads. This is a 2-part problem: (1) the ad contains more than one major theme and (2) there's just too much information in the ad.
Part 1: A clear, single message delivered with real emotion will beat the ad filled with competing messages every time. What's your message? Why will people want to buy from you? When you load your ad with multiple messages, you confuse the consumer. Confused consumers don't buy.
Part 2: Putting too much into the ad. This is typically a result of the advertiser saying "if I don't provide lot's of different products to choose from, that prospect might not visit my store. He/she might not be interested in product A, B or C, so I'll make sure I tell them about product D, E and F."
Once you start loading your ad with long lists, you've lost the interest and attention of the consumer. Non-interested consumers don't buy.
Do your ads consist of a simple, clear message? Or do your ads contain a long list of products & services that no one will remember? If you want a successful campaign, simplify your message.
Often, many advertisers will attempt the use of sound effects to gain the attention of potential customers. Sound effects can work if they're relevant to your product/service and used sparingly.
Here's an example of how NOT to use sound effects. Several years ago, a very promotionally-driven carpet cleaning firm opened their radio ads with irrelevant, highly agitating sound effects.
One ad in particular opened with a police siren (too loud, too long and painfully distorted), followed by the police officer yelling through his loud speaker "pull over… where are going in such in hurry?" The drivers' response was: "but officer, I've got to get to a phone so I call ________ Carpet Cleaners… " The entire series of ads were irritating and irritated consumers don't buy.
The most successful advertisers communicate with their customers by crafting their message so that they deliver useful & relevant information. If you want a successful campaign, don't irritate the customer.
Finally, placing different messages on different mediums will reduce your response rates. Many advertisers will put one message on TV, another on radio and yet another in print.
What you want to strive for is synergy in your advertising. True synergy is when 1 plus 1 equals 3.
The most successful advertisers will place the same message across every media channel they use. The result is synergy and a greater response to the offer. Ad & media people call this integration. If you want a successful campaign, integrate your message.
By making a few adjustments to how you craft your ads, you'll see an increase in inquiries, leads generated and ultimately, higher sales volumes.

How to Design Custom LED Signs That Really Draw Attention to Your Business
The options for creating custom LED signs are practically endless. Some possibilities for customization include:
1) Enhancing a simple LED display screen by adding a logo or graphic for corporate branding
2) Choosing different colors, fonts or character styles, character heights and graphics to give the LED display a matchless look
3) Designing custom-built casework with your own specifications for cabinet size and color to install within the LED screen
4) Fitting a combination of standard LED screens in custom-fit casing to display differing types of messages, multiple messages or multi-lingual messages
5) Adding necessary modifications to meet your unique power requirements
6) Developing specific software that will enable a standard LED electronic sign to do a completely non-standard job
7) Reworking firmware to connect with a 3rd party device to control how messages display, for example, program text to read vertically, horizontally or one at a time
Designing a custom-built sign requires careful planning and consideration. Whether you are trying to communicate to your target audience, establish your corporate image, gain name recognition for your brand, or broadcast promotions and special deals, there are a number of things you should take into consideration when designing a LED sign to make it attention-grabbing and really draw attention to your business.
Here are some things that are taken into account to ensure that your LED sign will help meet your business objectives.
A LED sign should be in full view for everyone to see in order to get the best return of investment, so you'll need to take into consideration the location and scenery, sign elevation and height, traffic speed, zoning restrictions, viewing distance and installation constraints. Proper sizing will give the best resolution, text size, pitch of LEDs and display time per message on your LED display.
Target Audience
Your target audience are people on the go — those who are on the road, driving their cars, commuting on the bus, train or riding a taxi cabs, people walking by, people stuck at traffic or stopped at a traffic light, and those indoors waiting at a terminal or those busy shopping inside the mall. Will they be able to see your sign or just pass it by? Can they read your message in one glance?
Design features
Will you use just text or images or a combination of images and text? Will you add animation, scrolling text or scrolling images and text? Will your LED sign be in monochrome or full color display? Will it include video? Then what video aspect ratio to use to match up with the screen – standard, widescreen?
LED signs with elaborate full-color displays and video imagery tend to be more eye-catching and grab more attention. Monochrome signs with minimal design elements are budget-friendly and can just be as effective in conveying your message.
Message and content
What's the best way to communicate your message to your target audience? What words do you use to get to the heart of your audience? What images or videos do you put in to engage your audience? Will it be easy for you to update content or will you need to pay for content management services?
Choosing a company
Building and installing LED signs involves special issues that require professional expertise. Be sure you work with skilled experts who have the knowledge and experience to help you design and manufacture custom LED signs according to your specifications while keeping in mind area limitations.
5 Options for LED Sign Communication Systems
How your computer will communicate with the LED sign is a matter of budget, preference and what your sign contractor has to offer and is qualified to set up. Following are five main types of LED sign communication systems common in the industry.
1. Wireless Methods
Wireless technology is useful in the LED sign industry. A computer can connect to an LED sign wirelessly in many ways, but certain conditions must be met. The sign must be within 100 to 200 yards of the origin of the transmission and it must have a clear path so the data can be sent and received effectively.
Radio frequency, which transmits data at speeds of 900 megahertz, is a good option when the connection must span a long distance, but the speed of information transmission is typically slower.
Wi-Fi transmits data at faster speeds of 2.4 gigahertz, and encryption can be incorporated so the information is only accessible to those with the password. You can enhance the connection to a 5 GHz data rate, which is both more secure and more efficient.
2. Phone Modem
If the connecting computer has a phone modem, a line can be run from the sign to the computer. Data can be sent via phone modem for a charge from the phone service provider. The speeds and efficiency will vary depending on the service and the strength of the connection.
3. Fiber Optics
Fiber optic cables can transmit data quickly. They are ideal for communication streams that must transmit large file sizes over long distances. Fiber optic communication can stretch up to 40 miles.
4. Serial Cables
Serial cables work as a transmission method when the distance between the sign and the computer is short – less than 50 feet – and when only basic messages are being sent rather than extensive files. Since many computers may not have the necessary port for this cable to connect to, a converter may have to be used.
5. Ethernet TCP/IP
Using TCP/IP over Ethernet is the most common of all LED sign communication systems. The sign connects to the Ethernet card installed in the computer for message transmission. The cable alone can reach 300 feet, but can be extended if necessary. Ethernet TCP/IP is more dependable and durable than fiber optic cables and does not require any convertors or adapters.
When analyzing LED sign communication systems, be sure to talk to those experienced in the sign installation and repair industry before you decide what to buy. In some cases, choosing a main system then installing a backup in case of communication failure is a good way to go. Professionals can point you toward one of the LED sign communication systems that will require the least updating and troubleshooting, and the provide the best investment over the long term.

So I was stuck in Anor Londo for a while. I was at the part where you are on narrow walkways and there are 2 silver knights with greatbows which shoot spear like arrows. If your hit by this it will knock you back and 99% of the time result in you falling to your death. After about 30 tries I finally got to the one on the left and he luckily fell off. I still had to deal with the one on the right. So I had to time my rolls to roll under the arrows until I got close enough so he drew his sword. Again luckily he fell off after a couple hits to my shield. I began my slicing through silver knights and mimics on my way to the boss. Got a couple cool things like the silver knight armor and shield and havel's rock armor which is f'ing heavy. I am now stuck on the dual bosses Ornstein and Smough. Yeah two bosses at once even worse than the gargoyles. So Ornstein is a fast spear wielder and Smough is a fat hammer wielder. The way it works is once you kill one the other with abosrb the other and become more powerful. I have read that Smough is easier but the thing is you get the soul and armor available to buy of which ever boss you beat second. I want Ornstein since you can make a spear with his soul. I fought them 3 times twice with just me and the NPC phantom Solaire and the last time was with Solaire and another player. The player died moments before I killed Smough and then Solaire died soon after. So I am attempting to venture to the Demon Ruins to get the fire ember which was recommended as the bosses are weak to fire. This was my first successful attempt at summoning another player.

The Smough and Ornstien fight is supposed to be one of the toughest, I guess I'll find out later today! Good luck man killing those 2, I'm stoked to get past them and make some unique weapons out of the bosses souls. I already have a few +10 weapons ready for ascension. If you farm the slimes at the first bonfire in the depths, they have a chance to drop large titanite and green titanite shards and the rats drop humanity. It's a great place to stock up.
