An auditory brainstem implant (ABI) is a device designed to restore some hearing in people with neurofibromatosis type II who are rendered deaf by bilateral removal of neurofibromas involving the auditory nerve. ABIs have also been studied to restore hearing for other non-neurofibromatosis indications.
The ABI consists of an externally worn speech processor that provides auditory information by electrical signal that is transferred to a receiver/stimulator that is implanted in the temporal bone. The receiver stimulator is, in turn, attached to an electrode array implanted on the surface of the cochlear nerve in the brainstem, thus bypassing the inner ear and auditory nerve. The electrode stimulates multiple sites on the cochlear nucleus, which is then processed normally by the brain.
ABIs are also being studied to restore hearing for other non-neurofibromatosis causes of hearing impairment in adults and children, including absence of or trauma to the cochlea or auditory nerve. It is estimated that 1.7 per 100,000 children are affected by bilateral cochlea or cochlear nerve aplasia and 2.6 per 100,000 children are affected by bilateral cochlea or cochlear nerve hypoplasia.
In 2000, the Nucleus® 24 Auditory Brainstem Implant System (Cochlear Corp.) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through the premarket approval process. The speech processor and receiver are similar to the devices used in cochlear implants; the electrode array placed on the brainstem is the novel component of the device. The device is indicated for individuals 12 years of age or older who have been diagnosed with neurofibromatosis type 2. The Nucleus® 24 Auditory Brainstem Implant System (Cochlear Corp.) labeling states: "The efficacy of bilateral implantation with the ABI [auditory brainstem implant] has not been studied." The Nucleus® 24 is currently obsolete.
In June 2016, the Nucleus ABI541 Auditory Brainstem Implant (Cochlear Corp.) was approved by the FDA through a supplement to the premarket approval for the Nucleus® 24. The new implant is indicated for individuals 12 years of age or older who have been diagnosed with neurofibromatosis type 2.
Unilateral use of an auditory brainstem implant (using surface electrodes on the cochlear nuclei) may be considered medically necessary in patients with neurofibromatosis type II, who are 12 years of age or older, who are rendered deaf due to bilateral resection of neurofibromas of the auditory nerve.
An auditory brainstem implant is considered investigational for all other conditions including non-neurofibromatosis type 2 indications.
Bilateral use of an auditory brainstem implant is considered investigational.
Penetrating electrode auditory brainstem implant (PABI) is considered investigational.
Federal Employee Program (FEP) may dictate that all FDA-approved devices, drugs or biologics may not be considered investigational and thus these devices may be assessed only on the basis of their medical necessity.
The coverage guidelines outlined in the Medical Policy Manual should not be used in lieu of the Member's specific benefit plan language.
Medically Necessary is defined as those services, treatments, procedures, equipment, drugs, devices, items or supplies furnished by a covered Provider that are required to identify or treat a Member's illness, injury or Nervous/Mental Conditions, and which Company determines are covered under this Benefit Plan based on the criteria as follows in A through D:
A. consistent with the symptoms or diagnosis and treatment of the Member's condition, illness, or injury; and
B. appropriate with regard to standards of good medical practice; and
C. not solely for the convenience of the Member, his or her Provider; and
D. the most appropriate supply or level of care which can safely be provided to Member. When applied to the care of an Inpatient, it further means that services for the Member's medical symptoms or conditions require that the services cannot be safely provided to the Member as an Outpatient.
For the definition of Medically Necessary, "standards of good medical practice" means standards that are based on credible scientific evidence published in peer-reviewed medical literature generally recognized by the relevant medical community, and physician specialty society recommendations, and the views of medical practitioners practicing in relevant clinical areas and any other relevant factors. BCBSMS makes no payment for services, treatments, procedures, equipment, drugs, devices, items or supplies which are not documented to be Medically Necessary. The fact that a Physician or other Provider has prescribed, ordered, recommended, or approved a service or supply does not in itself, make it Medically Necessary.
Investigative is defined as the use of any treatment procedure, facility, equipment, drug, device, or supply not yet recognized as a generally accepted standard of good medical practice for the treatment of the condition being treated and; therefore, is not considered medically necessary. For the definition of Investigative, "generally accepted standards of medical practice" means standards that are based on credible scientific evidence published in peer-reviewed medical literature generally recognized by the relevant medical community, and physician specialty society recommendations, and the views of medical practitioners practicing in relevant clinical areas and any other relevant factors. In order for equipment, devices, drugs or supplies [i.e, technologies], to be considered not investigative, the technology must have final approval from the appropriate governmental bodies, and scientific evidence must permit conclusions concerning the effect of the technology on health outcomes, and the technology must improve the net health outcome, and the technology must be as beneficial as any established alternative and the improvement must be attainable outside the testing/investigational setting.

The International Division of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ID of ABCS) is an international certifying board that exclusively tests internationally-based surgeons' knowledge and experience in cosmetic surgery. "Internationally based" refers to surgeons who practice outside North America. The ID of ABCS is an independent subspecialty board that examines and certifies physicians in Dermatologic Cosmetic Surgery, Facial Cosmetic Surgery, Body, Breast & Extremity Cosmetic Surgery, and General Cosmetic Surgery.
This Board is dedicated to patient safety and physician education in cosmetic surgery. The ID of ABCS is designed for extraordinary internationally-based surgeons that demonstrate the highest standards of training, knowledge and expertise, while promoting the safe and ethical practice of the subspecialty of cosmetic surgery. The ID of ABCS prides itself as being the highest standard of measure for this subspecialty.
Criteria for geographic eligibility of International Exam Candidates include, but are not limited to, the following:
No North American/U.S. Surgeon is allowed to become certified by the ID of ABCS unless they qualify under the ABCS credentialing requirements.
No candidates licensed in the United States and its territories are eligible for certification by the ID of ABCS unless they qualify under the ABCS credentialing requirements.
No candidates with ACGME training are eligible for certification by the ID of ABCS unless they qualify under the ABCS credentialing requirements.
If an international-based surgeon successfully passes the examination for certification by the ID of ABCS, the international certification will become null, void, and revoked if the surgeon subsequently becomes licensed to practice in the United States and its territories.
Read our Press Release about the ID of ABCS being the highest standard of measure for cosmetic surgery in the international community.
October 15-16, 2016
ABOG Testing Facility
Dallas, Texas, USA
Application Deadline: April 1, 2016
The ID of ABCS certification examination will be administered by representatives of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery. For information regarding approximate percentages of test questions on the Written Examination, please visit the website www.americanboardcosmeticsurgery.org. For information regarding the Annual Review Course sponsored by the World Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, please visit the website www.waocs.org.
DISCLAIMER: The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS) has contracted with the ID of ABCS to administer an annual examination to Candidates approved by the ID of ABCS. The examination process, although similar to the examination process administered by the ABCS, confers no right upon an International Candidate to use in any way shape or form the fact the ABCS administered the examination upon which the ID of ABCS granted membership to the International Candidate of the ID of ABCS. The ID of ABCS utilizes its own standards and criteria in determining who may take the examination (subject to certain geographical restrictions) and the appropriate cut score for pass/fail results. The ABCS furnishes a raw score that the ID of ABCS utilizes in determining their pass/fail score. The ABCS does not control the way this cut score is applied and makes no assurances, expressed or implied, about the qualification of any International Candidate.

It was supposed to be the beginning of the end for television. For the past five years, bright young things have been regaling us at conferences with tales of the new hyperactive consumer, who is growing impatient with the inflexibility of this ageing, passive medium. Even as dotcom companies were disappearing faster than Blind Date's ratings, the buzzword was interactivity. The couch potato was, they said, going the same way as the moviegoer of the forties.
It was always a dubious theory, but the events of 11 September may have rendered it obsolete. Television suddenly appears to have assumed a role of much greater significance and relevance than the dedicated sceptics could ever have thought possible. Those events have transformed the appetite for television news. Just possibly, they may have transformed the role of television itself.
This is not because of the overwhelmingly graphic images beamed live into people's living rooms on the day of the attack, potent thought they were. Other tragedies - Diana's death, Paddington - had the same short-term effect, because people wanted to know what had happened. A week later, their news agendas had moved on and old routines had returned. This time something more profound seems to be happening. Look at the ratings figures for news and analysis programmes before and after 11 September. In the eight months to the end of August this year, the combined audience for the ITN and BBC early evening bulletins was 10.5 million. The day before the attack - a typical weekday - ran true to form: audiences were 5.3 million for ITV and 5.1 million for the BBC. Over the following four days, as might have been expected, the combined figures rose to more than 13 million. But even for the 10 days after that (up to last Wednesday, the last available figures), these bulletins are still averaging just below 12 million viewers in total.
A similar pattern emerges for the late evening news. On Monday 10 September, the BBC Ten O'Clock News rated 5 million, compared with ITN's 3.2 million for News at Ten. In the immediate aftermath of Tuesday's events, the two programmes were achieving a combined audience exceeding 13 million. And in the following two weeks, those bulletins have still been achieving a combined average of more than 10.5 million viewers.
Perhaps even more significant are the audiences for Newsnight and Channel Four News, programmes specialising in in-depth analysis. Both traditionally average around a million; both achieved 800,000 on the Monday before the attack. In the two weeks since, they've both doubled their audience figures.
Perhaps we can put this down to temporary uncertainty. A war is about to start - a war whose scale, location and objectives no one is sure about. There may be more terrorist attacks, possibly with chemical weapons. When military action subsides, so will the appetite for news - a temporary, if elongated, blip.
But there's more to it than that, and the key is in those audiences for news analysis programmes. There is a palpable sense of people feeling that something extraordinary is happening, that it is going to affect all of us in myriad ways, and that they need to understand more. This is not just catching up with the world after coming home from the office or before going to bed. It is not news as story-telling but news as a way of making sense of a dangerous new world.
This works on different levels, from the perspective of how many British jobs are being lost, to a more abstract and newly discovered interest in Islam or the conflict in the Middle East. It is about whether there will be another petrol shortage and whether air travel is safe, but also about understanding the history of Afghanistan and the relationship between Colin Powell and George Bush.
Television, perversely, is good at all this for a number of reasons. There are the obvious advantages of immediacy and pictures. There is trust: surveys repeatedly show TV as people's main and most trusted source of national and international news. Perhaps most important of all, there is a tradition of serious but accessible TV journalism in this country which has not yet given way - as in the US - to a demand for unremittingly tabloid stories.
Richard Tait, editor of ITN News, believes that this tradition has made it possible for TV news to connect successfully with its audiences on complex subjects. While US networks have been closing down their international bureaux, ITN and the BBC have been expanding theirs. The legacy has been an acquired expertise. Tait says: 'You need people who can explain as well as narrate, which is a real skill in two-and-a-half or three minutes. Our main enemy is viewers being baffled.' If there was any doubt before 11 September about ITN retaining the contract for providing ITV's news output, it clearly evaporated.
In the competitive cauldron of television in the past 10 years, news has had to work hard to hold its own in the schedules. Some siren voices have been wondering whether it is even necessary as part of a mixed schedule, given the plethora of 24-hour news channels.
Ironically, the events of the past two weeks have done more than demolish those arguments. They have shown not only that audiences have an appetite for serious news and analysis, but that television itself can benefit from its ability to fulfil those needs. It is too early to draw conclusions about viewing figures in general, but we may even see increased news audiences spilling over into other programmes - exactly the reverse of conventional viewing behaviour. And those advertisers that were deserting ITV on the basis that mass-audience television was becoming a dinosaur medium may well be thinking again.
This may be fanciful nonsense. It may be that we are in the middle of a temporary adjustment rather than a fundamental attitudinal shift, and 'normal' behaviour will soon be resumed. But the half-empty cinemas, restaurants and hotels, the cultural shift in Hollywood, the collapse of luxury spending and the general air of quiet anxiety all suggest something more permanent and more profound. If there is a realignment of people's values, Britain's television culture will have a big part to play.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'R4 DS' started by oaktree, Dec 26, 2006.
I got my R4 eventurlly!!!!
I took some photos to share.~~~~
post more pics ! lol
yes please do
Also some rom tests would be great too.
This guy is from R4 team/promotion team. He spammed like 4 or more advertisement topics before. Take it all with a grain of salt from him.
I heard there are some compatibility problems with the R4 from a few chinese forums, however I don't see any solid review on it. It will be good if some detailed specification and features for it be released.
Ahh, the joys of viral marketing.
A GBAtemp review of the R4 is coming, so for an unbiased look at the cart check that out when it's finished.
so it comes with the reader? how much is this is price?

- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoon unsalted butter, chilled and cut into 1/2
- 2 to 3 Tbsp. ice water
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
- 2 1/2 teaspoons curry powder (optional)
- 12 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped (we tested with Ghirardelli Intense Dark 72% Cacao)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder (optional)
- 2 navel oranges, thinly sliced
How to Make It
Pulse first 3 ingredients in a food processor 3 or 4 times or until combined. Add butter, and pulse 5 or 6 times or until crumbly. With processor running, gradually add 2 Tbsp. water, egg yolk, and vanilla; process until dough forms a ball and leaves sides of bowl, adding more water if necessary. Cover and chill 1 1/2 hours.
Roll dough to a 12" circle on a lightly floured surface. Fit pastry in a 9" tart pan with removable bottom. Trim off excess pastry, allowing edges to overhang 1/2"; fold in overhang against inside edge of pan to form double-thick sides. Pierce bottom of pastry with a fork; freeze 20 minutes. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
Whisk together whipping cream and next 3 ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Add chocolate, and whisk until smooth. Pour filling into baked crust. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
Whisk together 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and, if desired, 1/2 tsp. curry powder in a large heavy skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add orange slices to pan. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 25 to 30 minutes, turning slices occasionally, or until orange slices are translucent. Remove pan from heat; allow orange slices to cool in syrup.
Arrange orange slices on top of tart before serving. Spoon remaining syrup over each serving.
Fix It Faster: Omit the homemade crust (first 7 ingredients), and use 1/2 of a 15-oz. package of refrigerated piecrusts. Unroll piecrust and fit into pan. Prick with a fork. Bake at 375° for 18 minutes or until golden. Cool completely and proceed with filling.

A TOP doctor warns tonight that booze is killing more and more Brits in their
Professor Sir Ian Gilmore says cases of young people dying from liver disease
caused by drink are at levels "just not seen 30 years ago".
He blames cheap spirits and 7.5 per cent cider such as Frosty Jack's that
costs as little as £1.99 for three litres.
The Professor, world-renowned liver specialist and former president of the
Royal College of Physicians, says weekend binges are no longer the problem.
Youngsters are hitting the bottle ALL WEEK.
Sir Ian says: "We are seeing people as young as in their 20s dying."
His warning on BBC1's Panorama: Dying for a Drink? comes as figures show
7,000 patients aged 20-39 were admitted to hospital with alcohol-related
liver disease last year.
More and more youngsters can afford booze — now 75 per cent cheaper in the
shops in real terms than in 1980.
Booze-related A&E admissions hit ONE MILLION last year — the
highest on record.
Panorama filmed cases at Liverpool's Royal Hospital for a week.
A mum of two nearly killed by boozing heavily since her teens warns of the
Victoria White, 35 — her skin yellow from liver damage — kicked booze briefly
but is now on a bottle of brandy a day.
She says: "You're selfish through drink. The kids were clean and clothed but
they need a mother not a drunk."
Fellow patient Brian Collins got so hooked on cheap cider he ended up
living in a cave for ten weeks.
He said: "It looked like a normal home to me — I was drinking up to 11 litres
of strong cider every day."
Brian, 32, was allowed out of hospital after treatment for acute pancreatitis.
He said: "If I'd carried on I wouldn't have lived to see Christmas."
Experts say changes in society are another factor in the booze toll. People
settle down later — meaning binge drinking goes on longer.
Gavin Partington, of the Wine and Spirit Trade Association, said: "The issue
is the irresponsible consumption by minority groups. The industry invests
millions of pounds in its campaigns to try to change their behaviour."

Transit in Philly Rides Again... For Now
"SEPTA would have to hold hearings in the region's five counties and get approval from its 15-member board before implementing any fare increase.
[SEPTA spokeswoman Jerri] Williams was quick to say the new contract agreed to yesterday for bus drivers, subway and trolley operators, and mechanics was not to blame for a fare hike.
There was no wage increase for the first year of that contract, and the $1,250-per-worker ratification bonus is to be paid from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation budget, not SEPTA's.
'It has nothing to do directly with the contract,' Williams said of a possible fare increase. She noted that a transportation funding and reform commission in 2006 recommended regular fare increases to keep up with rising costs."

~The Wisdom~
The enchanted world as Fiora knows it is about to change. When the man she is promised to forgets who she is, she must follow him into danger on the faith she holds in the one who made that promise. Her ability to see the words of the wind will be needed if she ever hopes to survive. Can love truly overcome all things, or will Fiora's faith be shaken enough to give up all hope? Only the whispering wind knows.
The wind swirled around her, rejoicing in the day. It swayed her hair subtly and ruffled her gown. The wind was as excited as Fiora was, maybe even more so, to have reached the end of her wait. It had been such a long wait… they had been patient, both she and the wind.
The Wisdom smiled down at her from the throne. Though Fiora had not faltered in her respectfully bowed position to see the curve of the woman's lips, still the wind had whispered Lady Darya's pleasure across Fiora's bare arms. Her heart pattered more quickly in the knowing, for often did The Wisdom of Kavaccet sit passively when presented with the next Bloom to leave her sanctuary.
Today Fiora was of age, sixty-five seasons to the day. Sixty-four of which she had resided in these cold marble halls among the other daughters of promise. It had been unheard of, sixteen years ago, for The Wisdom to pledge a three-month-old infant in promise, but Lady Darya was not named for Wisdom casually. None else of Kavaccet held the gift of seeing the rains of the future through the clouds of the past, and none other would until the Lady transcended the earth. The water would then choose another to flow through and The Wisdom would live on through new eyes.
Fiora did not begrudge her sisters in waiting for only having to live at the sanctuary four to twenty seasons while she had spent her whole life. It had not been a terrible childhood; she was never in want for a playmate and her family was never far away. Plus with a cavalcade of tutors around every hall corner, her learning was second to none. That Lady Darya smiled on her today proved she had been a good student.
The Lady's words flowed from her lips, a fluid brook promising refreshment after a long day. "Stand, Bloom Fiora Sae Grue, and take your place among the Flowers of Kavaccet. Your promise, though long awaited, has come to fruition at last. May the rains of the heavens cleanse you, the flames – when they wake – refine you, the bounty of the earth strengthen you, and the wind at your back always guide you."

Palm Springs
... Springs was particularly busy due to the ATP World Tour Indian Well Tennis Tournament - good news today as Andy Murray won through to the last 8.
We left the city hustle and bustle and spent a great day up in the Joshua Tree National Park. Crafted over millions of years by torrential rain, battering wind, and extreme temperatures, Joshua Tree National Park stretches over nearly 800,000 acres of rugged ...
A broken string
... from one ear is a prominent single ear ring. I introduce myself and as soon as I utter 'David, could you...?' He took my racquet and examined it like it was a rare piece of art, almost looking in reverence at it. 'Wow, that's a beefy artifact you have there', he observes. He starts asking a series of questions: how long since I last played? how hard I hit? do I chip-and-charge? do I slice or power hit and - here's the kicker - where I last played tennis? I answer ...
A big goodbye to California, family & friends!
... Pendleton where we saw interesting training facilities and terrain. It was not about the beach to be here, but about being close to my niece's family in San Juan Capistrano. So we had full days with family and took in the sights of Old Town San Juan - love it! So much to do, antique store fun, the mission …& more coastal beaches and towns! Goodbye south coastal CA….we headed east, over the mountains into the desert following ...
Day 68 - Palm Springs - California (USA)
... The track views are so pretty, and the lookouts breathtaking across the desert. Once again so different from anything we have seen before.
We stop for a picnic as we near the end of the track, before heading back down on the tramway. We have overrun and missed nap time by about an hour. Dylan is challenging to get to sleep, and he uses every trick in the book. It confirms to us how important his nap still is to him, ...
We love Palm Springs
... up in that after. I got my hair done in Supercuts. The girl there said Rancho Mirage (the suburb we stayed in) is mainly full of retirees and vacationers! No wonder it's so quiet. Pretty much our whole time in the USA has been hanging out with OAPs. Workers only get 2 weeks holiday per year so it seems like its only when they retire that they get to go anywhere! She laughed when I said we'd been in the pool as apparently the locals are covering theirs up now for ...

I finished the final episode of Damo last night. It was late, and silent. I sat long by the open window, listening to the fog and weltzschmerz.
Eventually, I sighed, gathered myself back to the mundane, and went to bed.
Deep impressions to the maum are not so easily shaken, however. In my dream, a love long lost to me in waking life was lost again, to death. Or was it to uncertainty?
I asked an acquaintance for news, but he had none.
If we meet again, I said, and I don't ask, tell me nothing.

I agree that it's definitely time to start doing this. However, to have useful results, it is important that we execute the same test procedures -- otherwise, you cannot even reproduce the same results reliably on the same platform. Roy, would it be possible for you to write us a simple "cookbook" to follow in executing tests, so that we can each follow the same script and then report the results consistently?

Warm Your Cold Heart
Every winter, cold-blooded Miamians go seriously loco. Just a slight drop in temperature prompts the masses to reach for their North Face puffer jackets and aesthetically appalling Uggs faster than you can say "fugly." Still, it can get pretty chilly in the Magic City this time of year. And though most of us are lucky enough to keep warm during South Florida's winter days, others are not as fortunate. 'Tis the season to give back, and this Friday, Covers for the Cold at Will Call (700 NE Second Ave., Miami) is encouraging just that. The Miami Artists Exchange, a newfound group by local artist Tatiana Enriquez, is hosting the charitable benefit to collect donations and warm clothing for Camillus House, a full-service center providing continuous care for Miami's less fortunate. There will be a lineup of comedians (Daleena Segui, Kristen Black) and bands (the Deadly Blank, the Nothing Left, Krisp) as well as an art exhibit featuring works by the likes of Xibie Corea, Sergio Barreras, and Ivan Roque. Each attendee will receive an ornament and a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize. Give and you shall receive. The fundraising begins at 10 p.m. Cover charge is a voluntary donation of $10 and/or donations of food or warm clothing items (i.e., pants, jackets, long-sleeved shirts, socks, sweaters, shoes, and blankets).

Name: Laura Wilkes
Job title: head of policy and research at the New Local Government Network (NLGN), a local government thinktank.
Age: 30
Tell me a bit about your job ...
I get to think really creatively about the future of local government and communities in a really practical way and about how we can take councils from where they are now, to where we want them to be in the future.
What is the general feeling local government at the moment?
I don't think it is easy for anyone. What councils are grappling with is really tough and it is hard to work it out. You have rising demand, decreasing resources, changing demographic and the kind of globalisation leading to a whole set of problems that councils were not initially geared up to deal with. In some ways councils are stuck in the 20th century while trying to deliver 21st century services - and we need to get out of that mindset and it is really tough but at the same time people in local authorities are really committed to making a difference and getting it right.
What is the most interesting research you have been involved in since you started at the NLGN?
The One Big Idea project which ran recently was interesting because we got a group of leading thinkers across the sector and from the private sector into a room and asked them to come up with a solution to a problem. We put a challenge in front of them and they learned new ways of doing things, outside of the constraints of their local authority they were asked to think innovatively.
What do like most about working for a thinktank?
The joy of working for a thinktank is that on a daily basis you are thinking about how you can help local government to change and make people's lives better. Having the space to think about how councils can do that is a real privilege.
Did you not want to work directly in local government?
I did work for a council and I really enjoyed it and enjoyed aspects of it, but I have been much more of a strategic thinker and taking to a national space is much more suited to my skills I think.
Are there enough young people in local government?
I don't know whether there is less than there has been before. I know that specific things have been set up to get younger people to help get new thinking into local government. It is important young people see local government as a career option for them because we need new people and thinking. We need to address the number of young people as elected members - I guess that is a whole other conversation.
Why is there the challenge with elected members?
I think it is partly disillusionment with politics and partly it is an incredible commitment to make and it is difficult to make if you have a young family or are starting out a career and not financially able to make a commitment.
Is local government still hierarchical?
This is still an issue that needs to be addressed. I think I can understand why, in some instances where difficult decisions need to be made, there is a lot of bureaucracy and hierarchy; you are never going to get a completely flat structure. That said I do think you are absolutely right and in some areas younger people need to be listened to.
What do you want to do in the future?
I want to do something that has a positive impact on people's lives - whether that is in local government or beyond. I feel passionately about trying to make a difference - as cheesy as that sounds.
What is it like for women in politics?
I think it is definitely harder for women for a number of reasons. Predominantly women do all the childcare which means going to all the night meetings is hard. There is still a culture shift that needs to take place so the playing field is more level. Parliament is mainly run by men which is a barrier to women. If I don't see myself reflected in the highest echelons of power them I don't think it is achievable to get myself there. Until women are seen in equal setting in all levels there is a barrier. Things like all women shortlists are criticised but they are really important in making sure there is equal representation and until we get to the point where it is 50/50 then we should consider a women shortlist.
Is it worse in local government?
I would say it is equally as bad but it is voluntary and at least if you are an member of parliament you are given a salary and could do that as a career option. In local government it can be hard if you are a woman who has just had a child or has someone to care for.

Councils To Reduce or Prevent: ~ Alcohol/drug abuse ~ Alcoholism/chemical dependency ~ Social problems cause by abuse/dependency
But in Reality…. Councils try to Build Stronger Families and Healthier Communities…. And try to increase Protective Factors and reduce Risk Factors contributing to a variety of social problems.
Major Differences between Councils and other ATOD Programs (1) Most programs are "stand alone" focused or targeted efforts at a single problem… ex.: a Detox program does detox and release an EAP Program does screening & referral a Halfway House for residence & support
But Councils are "Catch-All" Programs – i.e. multi-faceted, multi-purpose, multi-task oriented, responsive to the changing needs of the community
In fact, Councils have as many as 21 different types of services: ~ Orientation/Public Awareness ~ Consultation ~ Assembly Program ~ Trainings/Staff Development ~ Classroom Presentation ~ Community Workshops ~ Tutorial/Homework Assistance ~ Positive Alternatives ~ Vocational Assistance ~ Community Linkages ~ Discussion/Rap Group ~ One-to-One Contact ~ Peer Leadership ~ Other ~ Individual Counseling ~ Crisis Counseling ~ Group Counseling ~ Assessment ~ Family Counseling ~ Other ~ Referral
... the NCADD vision as established by Marty Mann is alive to this very day. o work to educate America on the disease of Addiction; o help the suffering alcoholic recover from his/her disease; o work to prevent alcoholism/addiction; o encourage scientific investigation on alcoholism/addiction; o and "fight stigma, fight stigma, fight stigma." The Affiliate Survey Report from NCADD shows the power of the Councils by virtue of our numbers and services... 400,000 Units-of- Service rendered to 1,681,585 individuals through our Community Education Programs, Media Campaigns, Information/Helplines, Assessment and Referral Programs, Mentoring Programs, Workplace Trainings, Interventions, etc. Another 200,000 Units were provided by those Councils offering Treatment Services. And this did not fully represent the total Council network across the country - but only some 46 affiliates.
Councils need to be fluid, flexible, and especially responsive to the community's needs (both real and perceived!)
And this is a second major difference: (2) Councils are Community-focused…. In fact, of all these proposed "Community Mobilization" efforts, everyone has failed to see that the original and only long-lasting CAG or SICA or SIGe, is the Council! (All others are subordinate, and work best in those communities which do not have Councils!)
Another Difference: (3) Councils are the primary Advocacy Programs… we are the "movers and shakers." Ex: They tried to close our local detox… we started a petition to keep it open, and Won! When Gov Pataki closed all the state ATCs, we gathered 3,000 names and hand delivered the petition to our state legislators to keelp the ATCs and the Field Offices open! -- Keg Registration Bill… -- Timothy's Law… -- State Budget
Another Difference: (4) Councils follow the "Disease Model" and are "Recovery Focused." We are the step-children of the health-care system…. But we have proven that this is a medical -- as much if not more than a psyco-social disease, and have gone a long way in integrating this into the health community..
Another Difference….. (5) But as such, Councils also promote the fellowship of A.A., and an "abstinence-based recovery program… (and many other professionals do not!)
(6) Another difference, it is up to the Councils to meet and face the Challenges to the Field Councils are at the Forefront of the many, many challenges to the Field! Political Idiosyncrasies & Personal Preferences Techno theories… Addiction Psycho-babble Funding restrictions and reversals and new funding priorities! Many mistakes are made at levels of local government, state government, state administration and operations, and even in Research! And these mistakes can KILL alcoholics!
~ Years of transitions between several Commissioners, and periods with no Commissioners or leadership for OASAS or the profession. ~ The advent of Managed Care (with the health insurance reconfiguration and consequent reductions in level of care and length of care, and resultant discrimination to our clients and patients; ~ The Consolidation of DSAS with DAAA (and new Chemical Dependency Regulations); ~ The Welfare Reform and Welfare-to-Work regulations; ~ The Criminal Justice Reform; ~ The Mental Health System Reform (integration of Co-morbidity into treatment programs); ~ Medicaid Reform; ~ The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996; ~ Fiscal Re-engineering; ~ The new CBR/CFR fiscal reporting system; ~ Additional regulations from staffing-to-program management; ~ New, unfunded program initiatives; ~ A lack of COLAs or new money for infra-structure and operational support for ten years; ~ The transition to workplans and evidence-based programming; ~ Transition into on-line reporting systems; ~ The new OASAS Performance Management Oversight System; ~ The new OASAS focus on eliminating "Waste, Fraud and Abuse in the OASAS System"; ~ Even the restructuring and framework(s) of the new federal and state grant authorizations. ~ Pro-Legalization debates.
Another Difference…. (7) Councils take the lead in all Media Initiatives: (mass education and support) (the power of the media!!!!) - Public Service Announcements - Air or Print (Cable TV, newspapers, radio) - Media Advocacy - Social Marketing - Social Norming - Media Literacy - Literature dissemination
Another Difference… (8) Councils take the lead in ALL new Initiatives: - FASD - Alcoholism and the Elderly - Public Health Social Marketing Initiative - the NYS Collegiate Task Force - Drug Courts or Jail Programs - FOR (Friends of Recovery) - Environmental Prevention Initiatives - Underage Drinking (Compliance Checks, etc.)
Except…. When a new Initiative has money backing it… Then it's often "put out for bid" to other agencies competing with Councils, and which overall weakens a Council's credibility as the County's Expert Prevention Agency! So, when there is No Money, OASAS comes to us…. when there is money available, OASAS often diverts it to other agencies!
Marty Mann passed away in 1980 !!!
CANYS The Council on Addictions of New York State (CANYS) is an organization of prevention, education, intervention and treatment agencies throughout New York State that meets to address concerns and issues that both affect the practice of prevention, intervention and treatment of alcoholism and drug abuse, as well as of organizational efficiency including administrative, managerial, programmatic, fiscal, Staff and Board concerns. The CANYS mission, overall, is to effectively address alcohol, tobacco, and drug use problems in our local communities as well as regionally and statewide. CANYS is also committed to advocating for education about alcohol, tobacco and other drugs and their associated problems. Our approach is community-based, and our commitment often translates into a call to action for effective social and health care policies and laws, and to change cultural norms throughout our society. Alcoholism and drug abuse remain the NUMBER ONE Public Health Problem in America. Each day, over 1,500 Americans DIE because of alcohol, tobacco or other drugs, and many thousands more find themselves in hospitals, in mental institutions, jails and prisons, or in family or divorce court because of the far reaching and devastating effects.
Alcoholism and Chemical Dependency continues to affect 1-in-every 4 New York State Families!!! I. VISION We envision a world where health, safety, and wellness are the norm; one in which science-based alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, and violence prevention services are regularly and effectively provided in every settings and domain and to all age groups; where alcohol and other drug problems are minimal; where recovery is a celebrated, commonplace reality; and appropriate intervention and treatment are readily accessible to all who are in need. II. MISSION & MEMBERSHIP The Council on Addictions of New York State (CANYS) is an organization of prevention education, intervention and treatment agencies throughout New York State that meets to address concerns and issues affecting the practice of prevention, intervention and treatment as well as issues of organizational efficiency including administrative, managerial, programmatic, fiscal and Board and staff concerns.
Councils have evolved from Marty Mann's vision of the National Council on Alcoholism. Our Mission is to keep that vision alive by collectively and, in collaboration with all key stakeholders, effectively addressing alcohol, tobacco and drug use problems in our local communities as well as regionally and statewide. CANYS exists to further the individual and collective missions of Councils and other prevention, intervention and treatment efforts. CANYS is committed to advocating for: ~ Education about alcohol, tobacco and other drugs and their associated problems ~ Prevention of alcoholism and other addictions, since prevention is the most cost- effective and humane approach to alcohol and drug problems in our communities ~ Promotion of intervention because it saves live and saves money ~ Recognition that treatment is effective and recovery is a reality ~ Adequate resources for an effective continuum of prevention, intervention, treatment and aftercare services ~ Reducing Stigma……. ~ Advocating on local, regional, state and national levels in support of Councils and their mission(s); ~ By helping to promote public awareness of Councils as the cornerstone for community alcohol and drug services; and, ~ By collaboration and providing support for each other through information sharing. Our commitment translates into the provision of effective evidence-based prevention education, intervention and treatment services. It is a call to action to advocate for effective social and health care policies and constituency empowerment.
CANYS, which incorporated on December 12, 1999, grew out of the Association of Council Directors (ACD), which was organized in October, 1993. Its predecessor was the New York State Council on Alcoholism and Drug Addictions (NYSCADA) formerly the New York State Council on Alcoholism (NYSCA) and previous to that was known as the New York State Association of Councils on Alcoholism (NYSACA.)

WE NEED TO EFFECTIVELY END DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THOSE WHO SUFFER FROM ADDICTIONS AS WELL AS MENTAL ILLNESS.
"Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph." -Haile Selassie

Armed with stolen US military technology, the Chinese are producing a frightening new breed of weaponry, led by the ICBM submarine Xia III - a vessel that just might be able to launch a nuclear warhead across the Pacific Ocean and take out an American West Coast city.
National security adviser Admiral Arnold Morgan can't let that happen, and he dispatches the most stealthy hunter-killer submarine in the US fleet, the 9,000-ton ultrasecret Seawolf, deep into the dark, forbidden waters of the South China Sea. But then the unthinkable happens: Seawolf collides with a Chinese destroyer and falls into enemy hands. A team of cunning Navy SEALs - the biggest Special Forces assault group assembled since Vietnam - is sent in to free the captive Seawolf crew and bring them home.
The American eagle confronts the Chinese dragon with the balance of world power on the line. Failure is not an option....

Symptoms included marked hypotension, bradycardia, palpitations, flushing, drowsiness, confusion, and slurred speech. All symptoms resolved without sequelae. The third over-dosage occurred in a 1-year-old child who ingested half of the powder in a 30-mg CARDENE capsule. The child remained asymptomatic.
Based on results obtained in laboratory animals, overdosage may cause systemic hypotension, bradycardia (following initial tachycardia) and progressive atrioventricular conduction block. Reversible hepatic function abnormalities and sporadic focal hepatic necrosis were noted in some animal species receiving very large doses of nicardipine.
For treatment of overdose. standard measures (for example, evacuation of gastric contents, elevation of extremities, attention to circulating fluid volume, and urine output) including monitoring of cardiac and respiratory functions should be implemented. The patient should be positioned so as to avoid cerebral anoxia. Frequent blood pressure determinations are essential. Vasopressors are clinically indicated for patients exhibiting profound hypotension. Intravenous calcium gluconate may help reverse the effects of calcium entry blockade.
CARDENE is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to the drug.
Because part of the effect of CARDENE is secondary to reduced afterload, the drug is also contraindicated in patients with advanced aortic stenosis. Reduction of diastolic pressure by any means in these patients may worsen rather than improve myocardial oxygen balance.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

Competing for a Vampire's LoveMature
Two best friends. One vampire. A LOT of romance.
"I'm coming, I'm coming," I called, adding the final touch to my evening outfit: namely, a black feather boa.
I ran downstairs, hoping the carpet wasn't too dirty and wouldn't get dust on the soles of my tights (that always annoyed me) and sprinted into the living room.
"Tah-dah!" I shouted, posing and pouting like a model.
Sapphire laughed. I had to grin too. I was wearing a short, strapless, sequined black dress that barely covered my knees and hugged my figure tightly. I was wearing thin black tights which showed off my perfect long legs. You see, whenever we went to parties, we always loved to look stylish.
"Whose eye you looking to catch tonight?" Sapphire teased.
"Oh, I don't know," I replied, pretending to look thoughtful. "Perhaps... Alex Dumont's."
Sapphire gasped. "Alex Dumont?" She knew I was teasing but she was still shocked at my outrageousness. Alex Dumont was only the fittest guy on the planet. He was on every sports team, had muscles that made you hyperventilate and a face so gorgeous he melted your insides with a mere glance in your direction. All the girls wanted him, especially since the fact he was taken made him even more attractive. I sighed at the thought of his warm skin colour, tanned golden-brown by all the time he spent outside playing sports, felt weak at the thought of those chestnut brown eyes which seemed to set your heart alight and that thick, rich medium brown hair which you impulsively had to run your fingers through (not that anyone except his girlfriend dared). He had a blazing aura: you couldn't not notice him. He would be here tonight at the party, the centre of attention despite the fact it was being held by one of his male peers, and he would be surrounded by a circle of girls which would include Sapphire and myself. We both felt like we were the luckiest girls in the universe. We shared an adoration for him that neared obsession and we didn't care that our desire was probably unattainable.
I slipped on my heels and we closed the front door behind us, barely remembering to call "Bye" to my mother who was amused by our reactions to parties.

The Liverpool White is one of Eagle's special attacks, introduced in Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001 and also usable in Street Fighter Alpha 3.
|All appearances
Executed by performing a quarter-circle backward motion and pressing kick, Eagle leaps in a forward turning motion and swing-smacks his club downward as he lands.
Despite being somewhat slow and fairly punishable, this move can safely travel over projectiles, and bypasses crouching blocks.

Most GNU projects work the same way. For example GCC. Typical fs layout is something like: gcc gcc-2.95.2 bld-gcc-2.95.2 then, from in the bld-gcc-2.95.2, you run ../gcc-2.95.2/configure, and the build environment is created, while the source environment remains pristine. This is imperative if you're building for several environments out of the same source tree. In which case you might have gcc gcc-2.95.2 bld-gcc-2.95.2-i686-linux bld-gcc-2.95.2-i386-linux bld-gcc-2.95.2-sparc-solaris6 bld-gcc-2.95.2-sparc-solaris8 bld-gcc-2.95.2-cygwin-cross-linux ... ... -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2001 5:08 PM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: 3.3 build tree > I see what you are saying, that a "make install" usually creates the files > in etc or opt rather and not in the source directory.

Either way, however, most media could not survive without income derived from advertisements. That means they need staff to sell their advertising space or time, who are just as necessary as those who produce the editorial matter.
The Advertisinq Association estimates that between 6,000 and 8,000 people work in media sales, covering television, radio, cinema, newspaper, magazine, directory, poster and transport advertising.
Sales staff are usually employed by media owners themselves, but in some cases by 'sales houses' or agencies that sell space or time on their behalf.
Airtime on ITV is sold not by individual regional companies but by three sales houses - Laser, TSMS and Carlton UK. There are also radio sales houses that sell nationally on behalf of local radio stations.
Whether the task is persuading someone to spend much of their advertising budget on the break in News at Ten or the sides of buses, it generally requires certain characteristics. 'Our clients are looking for people who are keen, determined, tenacious and can make an immediate impression,' says Paul Farrer of the recruitment consultancy Phee Farrer Jones. 'You can usually tell in about two seconds on the phone if someone can grab your attention in the right way.'
But within this, different personalities may be suited to different media.
At one extreme, according to Mr Farrer, 'you have commission-only directory publishers that publish things like the international directory of widget-makers. They give people a script, get them to ring up companies in the Czech Republic or somewhere, and if they can sell a page for pounds 7,500, they get 20 per cent. They are looking for very aggressive, 'I just want the money'-type people.'
Television represents the other end of the spectrum. Sales staff need not be foot-in-the-door types because the advertiser is generally happy to invite them in. It is often more a question of negotiating a price rather than persuading a sceptical listener of the benefits of the medium. In between are the places where many entrants to the industry start work - classified sections of business magazines and newspapers. Jobs with major publishers generally involve a basic starting salary of about pounds 10,000-12,000 plus commission, and proper training programmes.
For the first few months the job will consist of making dozens of phone calls a day, most of which will invariably be fruitless. After six months or so you might become a field sales executive, visiting clients and selling face to face. This might be accompanied by moving into selling display advertising or going from trade to consumer magazines. The emphasis shifts to building relationships rather than the quick sell. After this, there are management opportunities for the successful.
'Media sales gives the opportunity to progress very quickly for young graduates going into business,' says Gill Hollis of another recruitment consultancy, the Davis Company. 'You get very good training in the good companies, and someone with only six to nine months' experience can take on real responsibility. Employers promote quickly and recruit their managers from within to hang on to good people.'
She adds: ''There is a dearth of good media salespeople of one to three years' experience. Media directors often complain that they get either totally uninformed droning or types who just say, 'Shall we go down the pub now?'.'
Financial rewards can increase rapidly in terms of both salary and commission, and perks such as company cars and expense accounts. On the right newspapers, for example, you will find yourself taking clients on skiing holidays (although this is beyond the reach of the Independent).
Graduates who start work at TV or radio sales houses usually spend at least a year as sales assistants, doing administrative back-up work for salespeople, before they do any serious selling or negotiating themselves.
In due course those who sell TV airtime will be dealing in the largest sums and possibly making the most money, but it takes longer to progress up the career ladder than in other parts of the industry.
Media salespeople do sometimes move to the other side of the fence and become buyers for ad agencies or specialist media-buying comranies. 'Our staff get poached by ad agencies,' say's Sue Blakemore, a sales group manager at Carlton UK. 'Agencies don't train. They let someone else train.
After one to two years' experience our staff are eminently buyable.' But media sales is not a route into journalism or television production.
Many people who leave media sales quit the media industry altogether. This is true, for example, of 80 per cent of those leaving the magazine publisher VNU, which until recently has been a major graduate recruiter. It has now decided to recruit only staff who already have one year's sales experience.
Most of its former staff went to sales-related jobs, such as selling cars or property.
Newspapers tend to advertise sales jobs in their own pages, if only to show faith in their own medium. Other media companies may use one or more of the several firms of recruitment consultants that specialise in this area and screen applicants on behalf of employers. But in many cases vacancies are filled without advertising. Anyone seeking a job in media sales could register with two or three firms of consultants, but should approach employers in which they are interested directly. High turnover means opportunities are often available. And the manner of approach should demonstrate the qualities of assertiveness and persistence that employers are seeking.
'Some people send you a super CV, but then you don't hear from them again,' says Anna Coles, recruitment manager for Haymarket Publishing. 'I think sometimes they assume that I don't have any vacancies. But if they are the sort of person I really want, they wouldn't leave it at that, they'd phone me up.'

Whip up the most delicious meals with easy breakfast recipes that can consist of a hearty plate of baked beans and peanut butter sandwiches or freshly cooked scrambled eggs with a load of crispy bacon strips. You can complete the meal with a glass of skimmed milk or a tangy addition of fruit juice. It can definitely be a challenge fitting in a healthy meal if you have to instantly rush out to office but a few simple tricks should resolve all your problems.
Begin Your Day with Six Easy Breakfast Recipes
Tomatoes and Tuna Sandwiches
The classic breakfast meal of sandwiches and a glass of milk is a must on your low fat diet. Grab a plateful of whole grain bread, ricotta cheese spread, chopped tomatoes and pan fried tuna. Club them together with a sprinkle of cracked pepper to get the perfect blend of protein, fiber and vitamins early morning.
Mushroom Sausage Omelet
If you cannot live without your meat then one of the best forms of adding proteins into your breakfast diet a delicious plate of eggs. Cut up a few mushrooms, chop in fried sausage pieces and mix a little rosemary and thyme to get a perfect omelet.
Banana Pancakes with Honey
One of the easiest breakfast recipes is a plate of pancakes and what's better than glazing it with a swirl of honey? If you crave sweet delicacies in the morning grab a bowl of whole wheat flour, eggs, milk and chopped bananas for a warm plate of banana pancakes.
Wholesome Oats
An easy breakfast recipe you can try can be a meal of oats! Grab a glass of almond milk and mix in an assortment of diced pear and banana, chia seeds and almond flakes sprinkled with cinnamon. Just a dab of honey on your morning porridge is enough to enrich the meal.
Yogurt Parfait
One of the tastiest breakfast meals you can consume is a classic fruit and yogurt parfait. Whip out some fresh low-fat vanilla yogurt, crunchy granola and mix it up with delicious pieces of cranberries and plump blueberries.
Breakfast Burritos
If you're craving for a Mexican delight then slice up some goat cheese, grab a small whole wheat tortilla and scramble two egg whites. Finish off the burrito with a dab of black beans and wrap the bunch in a foil a day before.

|Dropping JDK 1.1 support
|Fri, 14 Mar 2003 04:05:37 GMT
We've started discussing on ant-dev at what point we could drop support for JDK 1.1 in Ant. Steve has suggested that we should ask the user community for opinions. I think that is a good idea so here goes. Currently the Ant core and many of the core tasks are required to compile under JDK 1.1. Optional tasks are able to require more modern JDK versions. We are thinking about moving the core up to requiring JDK 1.2. It has the advantage of allowing us to use JDK 1.2 facilities without resorting to reflection and artificial interfaces, etc.. The options would be 1. Mark the Ant 1.5.x releases as the last JDK 1.1 compatible release. IOW, Ant 1.6 would require JDK 1.2 2. Mark 1.6 as the last JDK 1.1 release. This would give more notice of the change 3. Stick to JDK 1.1 support for now. Please feel free to express your views. Thanks Conor -- Conor MacNeill Blog: http://codefeed.com/blog/

Sir MontagueMature
I turned round to see a thirty-year-old man smiling at me with his few teeth, I swallowed hard, I had had trouble from this man before, he was one of the worst aboard the ship. I hit away his hand politely,
"Get your hands off me!" I said sternly, he beamed at me with his toothless mouth; I balled my hand into a fist and got ready to show my true colours,
"You heard her," said a low strict voice, I didn't look to see who it was, the man let go of my shoulder and cowered in terror. I breathed a sigh of relief, the low orange sun blinded me so I couldn't see my savior,
"I order you to return to your duties Hoff," the man said, Hoff bowed into the light and scuttled off, I turned back to look at the magical view of the bay, I could hear the waves splashing against the edge of the ship and the rocks around us. The island was brighter than the ship and the orange sun made everything seem so beautiful, the palms gently swayed in the sea's breeze. The smell was sweet, a bit like perfume; it surrounded me and filled my head with the scent. Something touched my hand softly, it was resting against the railing of our ship, it was a loving touch, I knew whoever it was wasn't looking for a woman's company. I turned to see who it was, our ship was big and I did not know everyone aboard but I would have surely recognized this man, he had deep set brown eyes which swam with mysteries. He had shining brown hair which fell lazily over his forehead, his smile to match was heart warming and his lips were perfectly pink.
"It is beautiful, is it not?" he asked, I nodded speechless, "I am sorry, all these men…" he trailed off for a moment, "crave the company of a woman," he smiled sadly, "It is sad really, but you Isabelle are the only woman aboard and a man's desire is hard to defy."
I smiled at him and he smiled back and looked back over the bay,
"Napoleon's ship is just in the distance, can you see how big it is?"
"It is grand," I said quietly,
"My name is William Montague,"
"Sir," I curtseyed, he laughed to himself,
"I am not royalty but I have come aboard this ship to experience life out of London,"
"I see," I smiled,
"Why are you here?" he asked, his eyes probing,
"The sea fascinates me, but my Father captains this ship,"
"Isabelle, will you join me tonight for dinner? I should very much like to introduce you to my brother," he smiled,
"Of course, it would be my pleasure," I smiled,
"I will meet you in the lounge at seven, it is formal attire," he mentioned taking my hand and kissing it gently, "I very much look forward to it." He grinned cheekily and bowed formally, I curtseyed again and watched as he sauntered off.

The first storyboards for Close Encounters of the Third Kind were drawn by Steven Spielberg, who used stick figures. Artist Edward Carlson penciled his vision for Seattle's Space Needle on a napkin in a coffee house. The inventors of Super Mario Brothers designed their video game, square by square, on graph paper.
When does drawing become design? When does design become a story?
The art of information display is every bit as artful as any other type of design or illustrationSteven Heller and Rick Landers
Complex ideas begin as simple drawings. And data-visualization—the use of visual tools to analyze and present information— is no exception. Readers often imagine the creators of infographics as master programmers and number crunchers. But, many times, their primary design tools are pen and paper.
This creative process is laid bare in the Infographic Designers' Sketchbooks, a fascinating collection of preliminary drawings, unfinished mock-ups and intermediate prototypes that culminate with the finished illustrations.
Steven Heller and Rick Landers, the book authors, add, infographic designers must take their work a step further, sculpting static images into complex, yet reader-friendly, linear narratives.
In creating data visualizations, a common approach among designers is to begin the process by using familiar tools and concepts. While this allows them to work within their comfort zone, it can also lead them to adopt the easiest, and maybe not the best, solution to represent important aspects of the information.
As opposite, to sketching to explore the dimensions of a dataset, there is no access to the actual data with pen and paper, but only to it's logical organizations, and this is an invaluable asset to focus on the meaning of information, and not on numbers out of context. Many times this self-imposed limit triggers new questions on the data itself; instead of being overwhelmed by the size of a dataset and by millions of numbers we only focus on its nature, and this often opens new possibilities and opportunities that origin from this vantage point of view.
Once satisfied with the basic structure, the focus is turned toward the microelements—specific data points—to figure out which forms, colors and features we might adopt or invent to better represent them.
At this stage, drawing with data also can help raise new questions about the data itself: the emerging sketch sometimes reveals new opportunities for analysis that weren't apparent when we were looking only at the numbers.
Lastly, a prototype is created of the visualization, either on paper or digitally, which brings all the elements together. This facilitates communication among the designers, researchers, and clients, allowing for final changes before producing the finished product.
