Mini Meltdown
This pattern is available for $6.00 USD buy it now
Colors melt into each other, draping beautifully around the neck in a mix of lace and simple stockinette stitch. Mini Meltdown was designed especially for gradient mini skein sets from A Hundred Ravens; the design would also work well with single-skein gradient yarn, as well as many tonal and mildly-variegated colorways.
Mini Meltdown is worked top down, both in the round and flat, using short rows to shape the cowl. Lacy sections are charted, with full written directions for all charts.
The sample used about 360 yards as pictured. It would be relatively easy for an experienced knitter to modify the design to be larger (which would, naturally, require more yardage).

Manual Wheelchair Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2012 to 2018 As the population ages, people are more frail and need assistance for mobility. Hospital and homecare wheelchair technology is evolving to give people with disabilities more mobility. Mobility depends on a wheelchair that is fit to purpose. Are people going to move themselves? Are they going to be pushed around? Is the wheelchair used for sports? Many issues impact the choice of a wheelchair, including cost and reimbursement availability. Markets are poised to create the ability for people to get more exercise and impact the healthcare delivery industry by encouraging mobility of people who were previously bed ridden. Wheelchairs impact care delivery, permitting the patient to control mobility for the rehabilitation efforts. Lightweight wheel chairs give patients the ability to control movement. Transport wheelchairs are used for moving patients from the bed to another place. Patients and family gain more control over the care delivery with the availability of transport wheelchairs.

When Should I Spay or Neuter My Dog?
Billions of dollars are spent annually on companion animals - we buy toys, treats, food, leashes, collars, food bowls, beds, crates and pay veterinarians, trainers, groomers, pet sitters, dog walkers, professional poop-scooping companies, pet psychics, pet masseuses, and pet health insurers thousands of dollars over the course of a single pet's life.
We do all these things because animals make our lives better. Most pet owners would agree that the money we spend on pets pales in comparison with the amount of joy they bring us.
All of these expenditures are directly related to improving the lives of the animals we share our homes with. While it is important to care for your pet in the best manner that circumstances allow, it is also important that we remember the one simple thing each of us can do to improve the lives of not only our own dogs and cats, but dogs and cats throughout the nation and internationally - spaying and neutering dogs and cats.
Why You Should Spay Or Neuter Your Pet
There are many benefits of spaying or neutering your pet. One of the most important is that spaying dogs and cats ensures that your own pet will not contribute to the pet overpopulation crises. Unaltered cats and dogs can be prolific breeders, and there are many more cats and dogs needing homes than there are homes for them. Pets without homes are often euthanized in shelters or left to fend for themselves, often unsuccessfully, in the search of food and mating opportunities.
Others spay/neuter pets for health reasons. Here are some of the benefits of neutering male dogs:
- Eliminates the small risk (probably <1%) of dying from testicular cancer
- Reduces the risk of non-cancerous prostate disorders
- Reduces the risk of perianal fistulas
- May possibly reduce the risk of diabetes
And here are some benefits of spaying female dogs:
- If done before 2.5 years of age, greatly reduces the risk of mammary tumors, the most common malignant tumors in female dogs
- Nearly eliminates the risk of pyometra, which otherwise would affect about 23% of intact female dogs; pyometra kills about 1% of intact female dogs
- Reduces the risk of perenial fistulas
- Removes the very small risk (.5%) from uterine, cervical, and ovarian tumors
Spaying and neutering also can reduce roaming behaviors, territorial marking behaviors, intersex aggression, etc. in dogs.
The Spay/Neuter Debate
As with any major surgery, there are both benefits and risks associated with spaying and neutering. While spaying and neutering pets seems to reduce the risk of many cancers and illnesses, there is evidence that it can contribute to others, and there is research that indicates that spaying and neutering can decrease some behavioral problems while contributing to others.
Most veterinarians advise spaying and neutering around six months of age. Some dog owners, particularly those with large breed dogs, prefer to wait until the dog has physically matured until neutering or spaying. Dogs that are neutered/spayed after reaching full maturity tend to be more muscular than early spay/neuter dogs, which is important in working dogs.
Some dogs may have health problems which might prohibit spaying or neutering. Educate yourself about the behavioral and physical health benefits and risks associated with surgery and have a discussion with your veterinarian about what is best for your dog.
If You Decide Not To Spay Or Neuter Your Pet
As of right now, the law cannot force you to spay or neuter your pet (although legislation to this effect has been proposed). If you choose not to spay or neuter your pet, it is imperative that you do not allow your pet breeding opportunities. If you have an unspayed female, she must be on leash at all times during a heat cycle and not be given the opportunity to interact with intact males. If you have an intact male, it is your responsibility to contain him safely so that he does not run through the neighborhood creating the next batch of puppies that will end up dying in a shelter because there are no homes for them.
Dogs should only be bred intentionally to other similarly accomplished purebred dogs if they have conformation championships, all health testing appropriate for the breed, are over two years of age, in top physical condition, display no behavioral problems (shyness, aggression, reactivity), if the breeder is prepared to spend a LOT of time and money whelping and socializing the litter, carefully interviewing potential adopters and educating them on the breed. Breeding should be left to those with a good working knowledge of canine genetics, the history of the breed and their goals for improving the breed.
Related Advice from Other Dog Owners Add Your Own Dog Health Care Advice »
Alternatives to Getting Yearly Vaccinations
By law, the only vaccine that you are required to give to your dog is the rabies vaccine. It is also the only vaccine that MUST be administered by a licensed veterinarian. The laws vary by region, some places require rabies annually, some will let you get the shot every three years. If you have a dog with known health issues or vaccine reactions, you can often get a waiver from the vet exempting you from doing the rabies vaccine, too.
The other vaccines do not need to be redone annually as long as there are still antibodies present, since you can't create "more" immunity by vaccinating repeatedly. You can instead do "titers." Titering refers to drawing blood, sending it to the lab to read the amount of antibodies present. If they are acceptable, you don't need to revaccinate. It is more expensive than shots, though.
~Chris & Brian C., owner of German Shepherd
Typical Reactions to Vaccinations
Some dogs have reactions to certain vaccinations, and swelling is probably the most typical. I would take your dog to the vet just so he can take a look at it, and make note of it next time when your dog is vaccinated. Don't freak out because it happens, but do go and see your vet.
~Ashley F., owner of Chihuahua
Vaccinations for Adult Dogs
My vet recommend vaccinations every three years for adult dogs. Three-year vaccinations are exactly the same as annual ones (in regards to what's in them.) In my not-so-professional opinion (though I have done tons of research on this issue), I believe that once immunity to a disease is formed, that immunity exists for life. Unfortunately, lots of initial puppy vaccinations are given when the mother's antibodies are still in the puppy's blood, which will kill the disease in the vaccine without allowing the dog to form its own immunity. This is why puppy vaccinations are given (usually) three times in a span of a month or so--it's basically a guessing game, and they're guessing when the maternal antibodies will stop being effective.
~Janine C., owner of Mixed Breed
How to Tell if the Vet is Charging Too Much
Calling around to comparison-shop is never a bad idea. The vet I used to go to was drastically more expensive than our current vet, but I never realized it until I changed vets. The other vet was in a more ritzy section of town, and that might have had something to do with their higher prices (just like the prices at grocery stores are higher in our nicer sections of town). I'm 100% happy with the care we receive now, though, and I'd certainly pay more if I had to to get that level of care. The adage "you get what you pay for" isn't always true -- as I feel like I'm paying less now for better care -- but getting care you trust and are comfortable with can be worth paying a slightly higher price.
~Katherine M., owner of Alaskan Husky mix
The Risks of Not Neutering a Dog
A lot of health risks are involved for not neutering and spaying dogs and cats actually. They can get cancer from not getting fixed, running away is more of a risk, behavior problems, they tend to live longer when they are fixed. Lots of benefits to fixing animals. You would want to talk to your vet to see if fixing him at this age is a good idea. Also when dogs aren't fixed, all they think about is mating. So if they aren't mating it can be very frustrating for him.
~Michelle S., owner of Jack Russell Terrier
A Vet May Turn a Dog Away Based on Breed
It shouldn't be legal, but it probably is. Vet offices are private practices and they can exclude anyone they want. Often, insurance companies don't allow pit type breeds in businesses and some places won't even allow you to own a bully breed if you rent or are belong to a homeowner's association, regardless of whether or not the "breed" is technically legal. It's quite ridiculous.
BUT.....if you want my honest opinion, I think you should look at this as a positive. Because any vet who makes decisions like this based on a breed doesn't know anything about dogs. And I'm sure you'd much rather know this now than before your dog might have been treated by people like this.
You may have to drive a bit further, but the care is probably going to be of a higher standard at a vet's office where they actually know something about dogs.
~Michelle B., owner of Welsh Terrier mix

The Army is temporarily barring civilians from its aircraft, tanks and other vehicles in pending a review spurred by the fatal submarine accident off Hawaii, officials said today.
Lt. Col. Russ Oaks, an Army spokesman, said the ban was imposed on Monday and applied to the active-duty force, the National Guard and the Army Reserve.
Other Army officials said exceptions were being sought for civilian contractors and for journalists.
Sixteen civilians were aboard the nuclear submarine Greeneville, two of them at control stations, when it rammed a Japanese fishing boat on Feb. 9. The trawler sank, and nine Japanese were lost at sea.Continue reading the main story

Dumping a long draft is hard.

Yes. It's hard.
My classmates know that I love anime. And I never told them my crush. Only anime crush. *out of topic*
Okay. Last September, I decided to make my own story. Of course, as a beginner, I used my name as the main character so it won't be hard for me to make lines.
But I got bored. I really don't know in the first place why I got bored.
Although that was almost more than 30 pages, composing of 6 chapters, [I think] I don't care anymore.
I know this post doesn't make any sense. End.
Blah blah blah. ♥

In the last 90 days, 6 listings have come on the market, which means spaces most likley are going fast. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. About 50% of the office spaces in the Farragut are subleases, so you might be able to sign a shorter term by taking over a previous lease. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet available, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around 2,500 sqft. Most buildings in this market are approximately 1 floors. Most buildings in this area were built in 1984 and are Class A.

Trackback and Pingback not doing anything…
Forgive the ignorance I am about to show here.
Ok…so I have built a blog on WordPress.
I believe it's 2.0.1
I have enabled the following options:
Attempt to notify any Weblogs linked to from the article (slows down posting.)
Allow link notifications from other Weblogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)
Allow people to post comments on the article
I can see "incoming links" on the dashboard … but nothing shows up in the comments as trackbacks.
Here are the factors that may be complicating things.
1) Link format.
The support thread I read that was a similar issue had to do with the format of the trackback link.
While this may be an issue… shouldn't the pingback functionality STILL work?
I have tried both methods with no luck.
But for the sake of compete disclosure…
I have chosen the permalink format of:
The trackback URLS seem to show up as:
When I place the trackback URL into a browser window I get:
The document has moved here.
To be honest I'm not sure if that's supposed to happen or not.
I EXPECTED to end up at the permalink page.
So that may be an issue…
But even if it is why would the pingbacks not be working?
2) I have anti comment spam plugins running.
Specifically Bad Behavior & Captcha!
Not sure if those affect the pinkback / trackback functions – but there's nothing showing up as needing to be moderated or anything.
3) I am using a custom theme.
It's also completely feasible that I am missing something in the templates I have created.
I have added the following code to the single post page:
<!–<?php trackback_rdf(); ?> –>
and I have added the meta tag
<link rel="pingback" href="http://mydomain.com/xmlrpc.php" />
In my header I have also included the following code:
<?php wp_head(); ?>
Is there anything else I should be doing?
- The topic 'Trackback and Pingback not doing anything…' is closed to new replies.

Ebook: The Miami Giant
Pages: 40
I love this book. So under-appreciated and under-noticed. I just sent one off to a dear friend's little girl. A hysterically funny story with lots of Yiddishisms and great Maurice Sendak illustrations. What could be bad, nu?
Setting sail for China with the blessing of the king and queen of Italy, Guiseppe Giaweeni instead lands in Miami (with some funny pronunciations to be found on the facing pages).
It is in Miami (so he swerved a little) that Guiseppe and his crew encounter The Mishbookers of Miami, a giant clan who had gone undiscovered for generations.
With some coaxing, Guiseppe gets Joe Mishbooker to go back across the ocean where he promised top billing in a new show that will feature him.
Lots of quiet humor
A cute children's story about an explorer who plans to travel to China but finds Miami instead.
A kinda odd book about a Spanish explorer finding giants in Florida (he thought he was heading for China). He takes one back to be in a show. The giants dances about, but ends up scaring everyone so bad the show is a flop. So the giant gets to go home. Like a said – weird.
Bright, colorful illustrations.
Giuseppe Giaweeni left Italy for China with the blessing of the King and Queen. Taking a wrong turn, he landed in Florida where he discovered a tribe of giants named the Mishbookers of Miami.
Convincing one of the giants to return to Italy with him in the hope of staging a song and dance routine which would make Guiseppe rich, became a disaster.
Dancing and turning, the giant made those who bought tickets very afraid.
Alas, the giant returned where years later it was rumored that the Mishbookers mo

I have so many childhood memories at Disneyland. One of my favorite parts when I was younger was getting to see all of the characters. My parents would get autograph books for my sister and I and we would make it our mission to see all of the characters. I also used to love the different themes in different areas of the park. Disneyland does a great job of having all the rides, restaurants, and even workers meet that theme. I remember walking around the different areas of the park and being simply in awe at all the different magical landscapes. I never had to worry about a single thing at Disneyland. My only concern was when I would get to have ice cream next and how many rides I could fit into one day. It was a state of carefree bliss that only Disneyland was capable of providing.
I'm on the right and my sister Amber is on the left, (gosh look at my hair!) year: 2000
As I got older, I still enjoyed those parts of Disneyland that I mentioned, but new things also started to peak my interest. I discovered how fun roller coasters were and the biggest, fastest rides quickly became my favorites. My family loved the fact that I outgrew It's A Small World (which is quite possibly the worst song to get stuck in your head) in favor of Space Mountain. As an adult, certain things about the park have become less enjoyable. I now have to worry about things that I didn't have to as a child. For example I now have to concern myself with ticket prices, parking, where to eat, and most importantly when the best time of year to go is so that I can avoid the terrible lines. When I was a kid, all of those things were taken care of for me. Nowadays, Disneyland can sometimes be tainted by the adult lenses that I see it through today.
On Tuesday, I got the chance to see Disneyland in a new way. I met my sisters, brother in law, and nieces in Disneyland. The experience was different this time because it was the first time I've ever been there with kids. I went on rides that I haven't been on since I was a child and I got to see my nieces faces light up when they saw their favorite characters. It was so much fun re-living some of my childhood memories with my nieces.
Brooklynn, my younger niece, thought the characters were great but only from afar. She played peek-a-boo with Goofy and even talked to Pooh about his "yellow shoes" but the second they'd get close and try to give her a hug or high five she'd say "no please!". The poor characters ;) I don't blame her, those costumes sure can look big and intimidating when they're up close! I absolutely love the age that Brooklynn is at right now. At the end of the night, she got two fish stuffed animals as her souvenirs to bring home. I made sure to teach her how to make fish faces with them, she thought it was the funniest thing! I hope that these memories and my fish faces will entertain her for years to come.
My favorite picture<3 I have the cutest nieces
Brooklynn<3Sofia, my older niece, begged all day to have her face painted. We promised her multiple times that she could but we just kept getting distracted and it kept getting pushed off. Right before the night time parade started, Sofia remembered and wanted nothing more then to get her face painted. My sister (her mom) and I ran across the park to get to the face painting station only to find out that they were closed. My sister used her charm and convinced them to paint one last face. Ironically, Sofia fell asleep while getting her face painted! The highlight for her was waking up in the chair and realizing she had her little face painted and she kept saying to me "Auntie Cole, I was the last one in the whole park to get my face painted" :) We ended the night by rushing over to catch the end of the parade and wave goodbye to Mickey.
Disneyland will always be a magical place for me and I am so glad I got to experience it with my nieces. Being around their young, innocent hearts allowed me to see Disneyland through the eyes of a child again.
My sister Jessica and my niece Sofia

The European Union offered Niger 610 million euros ($635 million) on Thursday to curtail migration from Africa through the Mediterranean to Europe and said it was seeking more such money-for-migration deals ahead.
It's a move to block the flow of refugees to Europe as Niger is a transit location for many people attempting to travel to Europe through Libya. Nearly one and a half million refugees have arrived in almost two years.
The EU has already made similar offers to Senegal, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Mali, as well as Afghanistan, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey, among others.
On Thursday, EU leaders agreed in Brussels they would seek to engage more African countries in such collaboration.

Newbie alert.
I apt-got ewiki from Debian/testing and feel very lost. I feel like the readme files aren't answering my question. Platform is LAMP. DocumentRoot is /www.
To configure Debian readme told me to navigate to:
and click on "initialize database", which I did. Now I'm not quite sure what to do.
It seems logical that ewiki should be making a database table in MySQL, but I can't figure out how to do this. How do I create the MySQL database for an ewiki installation?
Also, suppose I want two separate instances of ewiki: one in /www/foo (http://myurl.com/foo) and another one in /www/bar (http://myurl.com/bar).
Clearly I need to "mkdir /www/foo /www/bar". But then what? What files should populate these directories?

Tamir is a character in Assassin's Creed. He is the first person to be ordered to killed by Altair. He worked in Damascus and was a Black Merchant.
Final Words:Edit
Altaïr: Be at peace.
Tamir: You'll pay for this. You and all your kind.
Altaïr: It seems you're the one who pays now, my friend. You'll not profit from suffering any longer.
Tamir: You think me some petty death-dealer, suckling at the breast of war!? A strange target, don't you think? Why me, when so many others do the same?
Altaïr: You believe yourself different, then?
Tamir: Oh but I am, for I serve a far nobler cause than mere profit. Just like my brothers.
Altaïr: Brothers?
Tamir: Ah, but he thinks I act alone. I am but a piece, a man with a part to play. You'll come to know the others soon enough... they won't take kindly to what you've done!
Altaïr: Good. I look forward to ending their lives as well
Tamir: Such pride. It will destroy you, child...Be at peace.

Posted July 3, 2017 (Atlanta, GA) The ViVitro SuperPump and 3-D printing technologies are part of ground breaking research being conducted by researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology and the Piedmont Heart Institute. Heart valve models created with advanced 3-D printers could soon assist cardiologists in preparing to perform life-saving heart valve replacements.
Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology and the Piedmont Heart Institute are using standard medical imaging and new 3-D printing technologies to create patient-specific heart valve models that mimic the physiological qualities of the real valves. Their aim is to improve the success rate of transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR) by picking the right prosthetic and avoiding a common complication known as paravalvular leakage.
"Paravalvular leakage is an extremely important indicator in how well the patient will do long term with their new valve," said Zhen Qian, chief of Cardiovascular Imaging Research at Piedmont Heart Institute, which is part of Piedmont Healthcare. "The idea was, now that we can make a patient-specific model with this tissue-mimicking 3-D printing technology, we can test how the prosthetic valves interact with the 3-D printed models to learn whether we can predict leakage."
The researchers, whose study was published July 3 in the journal JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, found that the models, created from CT scans of the patients' hearts, behaved so similarly to the real ones that they could reliably predict the leakage.

Advances in medical imaging modalities have allowed health care providers to offer a wide range of minimally invasive interventions which are implanted via catheters. Patients benefit tremendously from the minimally invasive nature of these options, which have caused an explosion of new devices to come under development. Patients are now demanding transcatheter approaches (albeit in the authors opinion perhaps too prematurely) which is putting pressure on traditional treatments. Like most disruptive technologies many peripheral industries are impacted when a new way of doing things becomes the norm. At ViVitro we specialize in conducting in vitro testing for a wide range of cardiovascular devices, and these advances in medical imaging have had a profound impact on our industry as well.
20 years ago if you wanted information on how a new cardiovascular device would perform, your main source of data would be in vitro testing, however now medical device companies are able to gain insights about their device from animal models that were not possible only a few decades ago. As a result, there is a new generation of device developers who have done much of their development purely in animal models. Ethical concerns aside, there are benefits to an animal focused approach since many devices require native anatomy that is challenging to re-create in a bench top setting. There are numerous reasons why there will always be a place for in vitro testing, but ones I find often overlooked are:
Durability Testing
Cardiovascular devices are typically placed around a beating heart or in a pulsatile flow environment. As a result cyclic loading is always applied to these devices creating the risk of a potential failure mechanism. Computational models can be useful in designing for fatigue but before a device is ever implanted in a patient, it must go through physical life cycle testing. The fastest way to get these results is to accelerate them in a laboratory setting, something impossible to do with animals. At ViVitro we are able to put a device through millions of cycles in a single day, something that would take almost a month in an animal.
Many clients have durability testing on their long list of things to accomplish before they call their design "finished" but my observation is that this is often left until too late in the design process. Clients will come with what they feel is a finalized design and are simply looking to check the durability box on their device submission only to find too late that they have a serious design flaw. At ViVitro we understand the motives behind this, durability tests can be lengthy and are perceived as expensive undertakings. For that reason we offer a range of service options to make it possible for companies to put prototypes through their paces early in the design process, preventing costly surprises when the finish line looks to be in sight.
Controlled Environment
As mentioned earlier animal testing has huge benefits including being able to test numerous different aspects of a device with a single animal. In addition to device hydrodynamic performance, data on biocompatibility, hemolysis, migration, etc can be examined at one time. While this is extremely useful, and cost effective for start-ups, it can also be very frustrating when things go wrong. If a problem is identified, the root cause ascertained, a solution implemented often the most conclusive way of determining if a device iteration will be a success is to conduct a controlled in vitro test. With the exception of mandatory testing requirements to validate a design for regulatory approval, many clients come to us looking to test a specific change in their device design.
In doing so many people familiar with animal models will approach a single test in the same multifaceted way their approach an animal study. The beauty of bench top testing is to simplify the problem down to a set of variables which can be controlled or altered in an exacting manner. At ViVitro our equipment makes this task a breeze, and we often create customization for clients interested in testing a unique aspect of their design. We also have a history of creating test protocols used in numerous different cardiac devices
In summary, advances in medical imaging have created a new generation of transcatheter medical devices. These devices revolutionize treatment for patients and are causing disruptions in many industries including ours. The imaging advances allow designers gain huge insights from animal models, which were previously the sole domain of bench top testing. For those clients new to in vitro testing I would recommend:
1) Test early – Contact an in vitro service or equipment vendor early in the design process to understand how they can help at all stages of your design. This will accelerate your design process and prevent costly late stage design stages
2) Simplify – Bench top testing allows designers to simplify a complex system down a bare minim of components to understand individual aspects of a device design. At ViVitro we are experts at justifying the simplifications necessary to test different aspects of a device design.

Yuewei (Shining) Sun is the manager at Fortis Hi-Tech, ViVitro's sales representative in China. Sun visited ViVitro in early January for a week of extensive training. During a break, he talked with ViVitro Labs (VL) about the unique attributes of the Chinese market, Fortis-Tech, and plans for the future.
VL: Tell us about your background and what you do at Fortis Hi-Tech:
YS: After graduating from university with a degree in mechanical engineering, I worked in automation – hydraulics and pneumatics of the motor. After a few years in this field I switched to fluid transmission – especially for automobiles. Specifically a sealant and adhesive dispenser system.
Our main business at Fortis is service and engineering. We have six employees and two assist me with hardware support for ViVitro equipment. Prior to working with ViVitro we were looking at areas to expand beyond automotive applications because the area is quite competitive in China and it is very hard to be unique. We wanted to have a new company to do creative things. A friend in the medical device industry suggested we consider medical equipment because it is growing very fast in China. I researched the equipment market, and while studying stents, I noticed heart valve products and learned about ViVitro.
My friend said that ViVitro is a very good company and there were customers in China that I could contact for more information. I spoke with them and they were very interested in ViVitro products. I contacted David Mester (ViVitro GM at the time) about selling products in China. Fortunately, David agreed I could be the distributor in China. When I visited the team in Victoria, I knew I had made a good decision.
Five years later, under Gerry Wight's management, ViVitro communicates a lot more, holds a seminar in China every year and visits our customers at least once a year with me.
VL: What was it like to sell cardiovascular device test equipment in China five years ago?
YS: Five years ago there were only 2-3 manufacturers in China and the testing center was still using an old standard. The manufacturers were studying and trying to find a new supplier, not just for the testing equipment but for the testing methodology. Initially I would simply supply equipment, translate information provided by ViVitro, and transfer it to customers because I had no background in cardiovascular testing.
In the beginning this worked because the ISO standards that applied in China were minimal compared to today, so companies didn't need further service or consulting. Even today, the ISO standards used are not the latest available. While the industry still lags behind North America and Europe, they require much more information than five years ago.
VL: Do you plan to expand into cardiovascular testing services?
YS: We are currently working with customers to build system parts. I want to expand the Fortis business by making simple custom equipment (small accessories compared to the ViVitro equipment) for universities and institutes. For example, a steady flow device that provides an overview of the flow, but not specific measurements. It would be suitable for teaching and early research and development, but not for regulatory purposes.
VL: What's unique about the Chinese market?
YS: For me there are two differences. When we started working with cardiovascular devices, we got our knowledge from US and Canada. In the beginning, we didn't develop, we just followed. Now, more and more investors are investing in China because it is big. We can do more independent research with data from China for devices made for Chinese people. In the beginning, the difference was that we were not a developer, but a follower.
The second difference is the construction of the patient. We have a different heart disease focus in China. We have a very big market for one kind of product that is smaller in the US. In the US, heart valves are mainly for elderly patients. In China, because there are patient differences or the treatments are different, more younger people need heart valve surgery. They have different requirements for these kinds of devices.
Traditional Chinese medicine uses needles and other physical treatments to keep the body balanced long term. For a big disease, western medicine works right away, but it doesn't care about afterwards or about long term– things like maybe you should adjust your body to be as far as possible from displaying visible signs of disease. Chinese medicine cares about keeping all of your organs balanced together. Not, if you liver is diseased, you just work on the liver. No, we want all of the organs and all of the body to work together.
If you have a very serious disease in China, they normally have two ways; one is to use western medicine to control the disease because it really works, and at the same time they take Chinese medicine to adapt the whole body for the long term suitability against the disease. We normally use both ways. But we think the western medicine is so strong it may cause other problems you cannot see. Chinese medicine is more subtle and can cure your disease very peacefully.
VL: Does it work? Have they done any tests?
YS: No. Chinese medicine is hard to prove. We use different plants as natural medicine which have poison inside. We cannot prove that this is totally suitable for a specific disease or is not harmful to the body. Even now, these medicines are only available in China and Asia. We believe the treatment is better although it is a little hard to prove. Lots of work remains to prove the results in a way similar to western testing.
VL: What are the opportunities and challenges for cardiovascular devices in China?
YS: The market is growing very, very fast in China. Initially, only a big company would be interested in cardiovascular devices, but now more and more mid-sized companies are becoming involved. The market is not as interested in the equipment itself, but in the chance to obtain more details for their testing or the design they are developing. That means the basics are fine now, but they seek more professional equipment, accessories, service and consulting. That's our opportunity and our challenge. The opportunity is they ask for more. The challenge is that Fortis should know more. That's why I'm here for more information to satisfy our customers. Fortunately, the Chinese market is quite new to this area, ViVitro is the leader, and I can get the top training from ViVitro experts. Together we grow to serve our clients. I look forward to continuing my personal training so I can better serve my customers in China.
VL: Is the market mainly about the domestic market or creating devices for other countries?
YS: Since last year, the big manufacturers in China have begun to acquire foreign companies and develop the global market. Microport is an example. Previously they focused on the market in China. Now they try to meet standards and marks for CE in order to export to Europe or other countries.
VL: Any advice for cardiovascular researchers in China?
YS: For me the main problem is time. The market is changing very fast. If you have a good idea, you should act very fast to follow the changing market. If not, you'll lose the opportunity. Universities and institutes are trying to do more research in China. In the future we will conduct Chinese research and testing so we can use all of the data from China. We are conducting research now and I hope that soon we will make devices just for China.

The FDA reorganization announced a while ago seems to be finally shaping up this year. The main goal of the Program Alignment is to better coordinate field inspections with product reviews from FDA research centers and to identify companies that need more frequent inspections based on the poor state of their quality. In today's global market, and due to limited FDA resources, the hope is that more risk-based inspection planning and collaboration with foreign agencies will eliminate duplicate inspections and make compliant manufacturers' lives a bit easier through less frequent visits as a reward for exceeding QMS requirements and running high quality operations.
Logistically, under the Program Alignment plan the 5 regional Offices of Regulatory Affairs (ORA) will be dissolved and replaced with commodity-based and vertically integrated inspection programs for drugs, biologics, medical devices, tobacco products, food and bioresearch monitoring that will operate from 20 FDA district offices. Commodity-based teams will have specialized investigators with technical expertise and adequate training in their field of expertise. For medical device companies, this means they will be inspected by investigators who are not only specialized in medical devices with in-depth knowledge of Quality System Regulation (QSR) and the intricacies of manufacturing devices, but the investigators will also have a sub- specialty in their particular product. This will have huge impact on the quality of an FDA inspection compared to the previous practice where a company could be inspected by an investigator with a background in food, tobacco or pharmaceutical products.
As with any change, the question remains if the FDA will be less effective initially while figuring out how to align 5000 FDA investigators into different review programs while developing new inspection protocols. 2017 may be tough for both the agency and inspected facilities, however my belief is that all manufacturers in good standing with the agency will benefit from less frequent inspections and will enjoy working with investigators that are specialized in their commodity. This new approach should positively impact product quality and patient safety.
