Gardasil® Population-Based Condyloma Effectiveness Study In Swedish Women Including Condyloma Incidence Estimations For Swedish Men And Women
GARDASIL® POPULATION-BASED CONDYLOMA EFFECTIVENESS STUDY IN SWEDISH WOMEN BACKGROUND Human
papilloma virus (HPV) has been established as a necessary but not sufficient cause of
cervical cancer. Over 100 HPV types have been identified, of which 40 infect the genital
tract. HPV16, followed by HPV18, are the most frequent in cervical cancer and contribute to
70% of all invasive cervical cancers. All together, around 15 high-risk (or oncogenic) HPV
types have been identified. Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women
globally, with an estimated half a million new cases and a quarter of a million deaths each
Two of the 40 genital HPV types, 6 and 11, are so called low risk types causing genital
warts (condyloma). Genital warts are one of the most common sexually transmitted infections
and the clinical burden has been increasing the past decades. The warts are benign but often
cause mental or emotional stress in those experiencing them.
There are two available vaccines against HPV. Both of these vaccines have shown 95% efficacy
against HPV16 and 18-related precancerous lesions in clinical trials but the follow-up time
is so far limited to 5.5 years. One of the vaccines, Gardasil®, also offers protection
against HPV 6 and 11. In clinical trials, this vaccine is safe and highly efficacious
(90-100%) against persistent infection with HPV 6 and 11 and genital warts in women and men.
Recently the first study on the effect of Gardasil® on national population level was
published. The study showed a substantial decline of condyloma in Australian women after
introduction of GARDASIL®. However, there were some limitations to this study. It was not
based on entirely true population-based data, they could not adjust for residency status and
they could not link cases to vaccination status.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether Gardasil® is effective against condyloma in
vaccinated women compared to non-vaccinated women by using registry-based data. The study is
also going to investigate whether Gardasil® has an effect on cases with previous history of
condyloma, which is possible with our data. Further, we will try to estimate the economic
burden of hospital visits due to genital warts and investigate whether Gardasil® has an
affect on these hospital visits. It is estimated that out of 20 000 visits to health care,
for condyloma, one third requires surgery due to recurrence, and of those one third will
require surgery again. The study will take advantage of the unique Swedish population-based
health care databases, which allows linking and follow-up at the individual level.
- To assess the population impact on Podofyllotoxin/Aldara prescription and hospital
visits on condyloma in Sweden after vaccination with GARDASIL®.
- To assess if vaccination with GARDASIL® has an effect on recurrence of genital warts.
- To estimate the economic burden of hospital visits due to genital warts.
MATERIALS AND METHODS Study design The study is a historically prospective analysis of
population-based nationwide cohorts comprising participants with individual-level
longitudinal information on HPV vaccination status and prescription of
Podofyllotoxin/Aldara. Vaccination status will be obtained from national vaccination
registers, and drug prescription register (Sweden) and information about
Podofyllotoxin/Aldara from the drug prescription register. Information about hospital visits
due to genital warts will be obtained from the national in- and out patient registry. The
study is observational and as such vaccination will be according to local regulations,
policies and practices.
Registers used HPV vaccination status will be obtained from the Swedish vaccination register
(SVEVAC) and the Swedish drug prescription register. The Swedish vaccination register
(SVEVAC) currently registers, through a user-friendly web-based large-scale system, all HPV
vaccinations in Sweden nationally, since the start of HPV vaccination in 2006. SVEVAC holds
information on personal ID-number, sex, age, date of vaccination, time of vaccination, type
of vaccine, vaccine lot number, and health unit (county and municipality). Registration with
personal ID-number is voluntary, but subject must actively state if they don't want to be
registered. Written information to the subject and inquiry on consent for all aspects of the
registration and register based follow-up will be administered in an efficient way (subject
to approval from Ethics Committee). Present experience with HPV vaccination is that 95% of
vaccinated subjects accept this registration. In Sweden opportunistic HPV vaccination has
been available since May 2006 and is recommended to young adults. The vaccine has been
subsidised for girls age 13-17 since May 2007 through the Swedish drug reimbursement system.
A prescription from a medical doctor is then required. All drug prescriptions are since 2005
registered in a national drug prescription register. To compare all HPV vaccinated subjects
the drug prescription register will be scrutinized to complete information on HPV
vaccination. The drug register holds information on prescription date, number of doses,
ID-number, sex, type of vaccination. Today approximately 100 000 Swedish females have been
vaccinated with the HPV vaccine, as well as 800 males. The majority of vaccinations were
with Gardasil® (98%).
From the drug prescription register we will obtain information on Podofyllotoxina and Aldara
prescriptions, date of prescription and dose. In the majority of cases prescriptions are for
self-treatment at home.
All in-patient health care in Sweden is registered with personal ID-number at a national
level since 1987. The so-called Patient register is kept by the Swedish National Board of
Health and Welfare (NBHW). From 2001, out-patient care at hospitals has been included in
this register. Information on adverse events will be obtained from this register. The
International Classification of Diseases 10th revision (ICD-10) has been used to code
diagnoses since 1997.
Many specialist clinics are based at hospitals and using patient register it will be
possible to catch visits to those clinics as well as day surgery.
Study population and study size This is a population-based study and will comprise
girls/women vaccinated with GARDASIL® in Sweden between May 2005 and October 2010. The study
will also include all women who were prescribed Podofylloxin/Aldara between January 2005 and
December 2010 and also women who have a recorded hospital visit due to genital warts from
2005 to December 2009. The study cohort will include girls/women born between 1989 and 1996.
In this way we will include the oldest and youngest girls/women who may benefit from
subsidised vaccination within the study period.
As of October 2010, 98% of the vaccinations registered were Gardasil®. 108 670 women have
been vaccinated with at least one dose, 92 296 with two doses and 66 150 with three doses.
Approximately 87% of the vaccinated girls/women are between 13 to 17 years of age and 10%
are between 18-25 years of age. In a report from the NBHW (2007) the estimated number of
cases with condyloma is about 20 000 every year, taking both prescription of
Podofyllotoxin/Aldara and hospital visits into account. Approximately half of those are
To link information on vaccination status, and health care data from population based
registers data the Swedish personal ID number will be used.
Study outcome To study the effect of Gardasil on condyloma incidence we will compare
incidence of genital warts in vaccinated versus non-vaccinated women. The majority of cases
will be identified through the Drug prescription register and about 20% will be found in
patient register. To find cases through the Drug prescription register ACT codes will be
used for Podofyllotoxin and Aldara (see below) and ICD-10 codes for the In- and Out patient
The described register will also be used to investigate whether vaccination with Gardasil
has changed the burden of recurrent warts by identifying women who had genital warts before
vaccination and after and compare with those not vaccinated. The burden of hospital visits
will also be investigated by comparing vaccinated and non-vaccinated women.
ACT codes used in the Drug prescription register ACT-code used for Gardasil®: J07BM01
ACT-code for Podofyllotoxin: D06BB04 ACT-code used for Aldara: D06BB10 ICD-10 codes Hospital
visit due to genital warts will be found in the in- and out patient register. The ICD-10
code used to indentify patients are: A63 and D26.
Statistical methods This is a cohort study and the data will be analyzed using statistical
methods for survival analysis. In particular, to study the population impact on genital wart
incidence in Sweden after vaccination with GARDASIL® we will model the association between
exposure (vaccination status) and outcome (genital warts determined via either prescription
of Podophyllotoxin/Aldara or hospital visit due to genital warts) using Cox and/or Poisson
regression. Incidence rate ratios (IRR) and 95 % confidence intervals will be used to
quantify the effect of the vaccine on the risk for genital warts. All girls will be followed
up from May 2006 and attained age will be used as the underlying time scale in the model.
Because full effectiveness of the vaccine is assumed to be achieved after 3 doses the
exposure will be included in the statistical model as a time-varying exposure classified
from no vaccination (unexposed), partially completed vaccination (1 to 2 doses) and fully
vaccinated (exposed). The analysis will account for possible confounding factors such as
sexual risk taking behaviors, using genital wart history as marker, socioeconomic status of
the parents and type of prescribed treatment (Podophyllotoxin orAldara).
To assess risk of recurrence of condyloma, IRR adjusted for prior genital wart history,
determined in the same way as for outcome, will be used.
To estimate temporal trends in the economic burden of hospital visits due to genital warts
we will identify and report descriptive data on all recorded hospital visits due to genital
warts in the Swedish Patient registries as a function of calendar year (2005-2009) as well
as mode of treatment (Podophyllotoxin/Aldara /surgery).
Limitations We cannot exclude that we will not be able to catch all cases that seek medical
care. Some cases that visit primary health care may be treated during the visit and this
will not be recorded anywhere. However, most of these cases do receive a prescription for
Because the majority of vaccinees are between 13-17 years of age they may not have had
genital warts before vaccination and therefore recurrence of warts may be difficult to catch
in our study population.
Ethical approval The study will be conducted after approval of the Ethics Committee of
Karolinska Institutet.

The Marketing Strategist:
Six Steps to Establishing a Formal Customer Engagement Program
November 15, 2012
Customer engagement programs can strengthen relationships and build loyalty with key stakeholders at existing customer accounts. Research shows, however, that customer engagement programs are most successful when managed programmatically—not as one-off activities or campaigns. Here are six steps that Marketing can take to establish a formal customer engagement program. A successful customer engagement program has many moving parts, but ITSMA's framework can help companies create more effective customer engagement programs: 1. Set clear objectives. Clear, appropriate, and well-communicated objectives are the cornerstone of any successful program. First and foremost, a customer engagement program must focus on deepening relationships, not on short-term sales transactions. All stakeholders across the company (senior executives, account managers, marketing, and so forth) need to both understand and agree on the program objectives, such as engendering loyalty and trust, strengthening existing relationships, developing new relationships, and more. This is often easier said than done because it is difficult to partition the customer engagement activities from the broader account team objectives. Still, the customer engagement professionals must persevere! Ultimately, the only reason for investing in customer engagement programs is to position the company for increased revenue growth within the account. However, this objective must be understood as a long-term, indirect benefit. The immediate concern is the quality of the relationship. 2. Tier and target customer accounts. Through strategic tiering and targeting of customer accounts, companies build relationships with those customers, and the executives within those customers, that present the greatest upside. One-size-fits-all programs rarely work. Furthermore, with limited resources, companies are unable to provide the same level of engagement across all of their accounts. Some accounts are targeted for one-to-many programs, while others receive more attention through one-to-few and even one-to-one programs. Many of the companies ITSMA has worked with create different programs for various tiers of accounts. And then, within accounts, personalization—based on personal profiles of key individuals—is highly effective. Customers are typically selected based on current revenue or profit, potential revenue or profit, strategic value, or the current state of the relationship. Individuals within accounts can be targeted by position, reporting relationship, role in the purchase process (e.g., budget holder, decision maker, influencer, end user), or influence. Some programs are designed specifically to spot the rising stars and help accelerate their careers. Sales (or client directors/partners in professional services firms) should be involved in the customer selection process. Sales owns the customer relationship and if the account team is not on board, failure won't be far behind. 3. Balance the event and communications mix. The best-performing companies take a programmatic approach, as opposed to an event-focused approach, to their customer engagement programs. They also follow an overall cadence and communication strategy based on customer input. Specifically, they:
- Connect in-person events with ongoing communications to progressively build stronger relationships. Without diminishing the importance of face-to-face activities, a sophisticated use of linking communications elements (email, newsletters, webcasts, and interactive social media) could significantly enhance the return on investment (ROI) from expensive in-person meetings. For some companies, the follow-up activities capture and communicate significant value, extending the shelf life of an in-person event.
- Avoid overreliance on one-to-many activities, such as large annual conferences that do not encourage more intimate and mutually beneficial relationships. Although big conferences are likely to remain important, a tiered approach should be explored, incorporating one-to-few activities such as advisory boards and customer councils. Follow the trends and develop events that are smaller in size, shorter in duration, customer-driven, and centered around peer networking.
- Create an exclusive club via membership boards and councils that provides an untapped opportunity to strengthen relationships, create advocates, and build unparalleled insight.

IT'S over 100 years since Alderman William George Bean founded Blackpool Pleasure Beach on a bleak 42-acre site on the south shore sand-dunes - for many succeeding generations, it has been a favourite choice for families seeking fun - especially on a wet day in the north-west's seaside capital.
Far from suffering financially as fashions changed and people began to opt for foreign travel in the 1960s, the Pleasure Beach has always moved with the times and its original owners the Thompson family, who are still firmly in charge here, have invested millions of pounds in new and ever more exciting attractions.
With over seven million visitors every year, at the last count, their dedication is more than paying off. The leisure attraction's biggest project for many years now up and running. The Pleasure Beach is now a 24-hour experience thanks to its new venture - The Big Blue Hotel.
Complete with 116 rooms, 72 of them "family suites" compete with distractions like DVD players for the kids; the hotel spells another interesting new chapter for the park. It's the logical next step in recent expansions, which have seen an on-site cabaret venue, The Horseshoe, opening, and offering night-time cabaret for the grown-ups. Mystique, a magic and illusion show, opened for the season last week. The Hot Ice Show, in the Arena, is another favourite which has been popular for several years.
Magic Mountain
But it's the thrill of the rides which still draw most of us to the Pleasure Beach One of the oldest is the Magic Mountain - built way back in 1932. This year, it has two new carriages called respectively Doris 100 (after centenarian chairwoman Doris Thompson) and Heidi 1 (after her great grand daughter). How's that for family continuity!
Another classic ride is the Log Flume (I went on this one in the 1960s!), still the world's longest log flume with two heart-stopping drops. More "oldies which have fond memories for many of us "include the River Caves, Alice in Wonderland, and Wild Mouse.
Children have their own specially dedicated area, Beaver Creek, which for 2003 has a new ride called Fruit Shoot - a junior and less scary version of Ice Blast.
White-knucklers will know the newest scary one at the Pleasure Beach is The Spin Doctor - two rotating propellers which spin you 360 degrees round 120 feet up in the air. The Pepsi Max Big One, which opened in 1994, is still a highlight for millions every year. As is Valhalla, the 15M Viking theme ride which opened a couple of years ago, In all, some 145 rides and attractions are now on offer. And, if you have the stamina to eat after all that stomach-churning stuff, there are some 35 restaurants offering everything from burgers to pizza.
Las Vegas
Some may find Blackpool a bit in your face and brash - and no one ever came here for the scenery. But for a day out which all the family can enjoy, it probably can't be bettered anywhere else. In the past few years, there has been much talk about turning it into a Las Vegas of the North - with casinos lining the sea front. I hope that never happens.
First and foremost, Blackpool has always been a place where the young and young at heart can find their own amusement from a dazzling array. Much smaller than the Pleasure Beach, but only a hop, skip and a jump away, is the South Pier and the Adrenalin Zone - attractions here include the Sky Coaster a Reverse Bungee jump reaching 200kmph in 2 seconds, plus other rides, including the Crazy Mouse Roller Coaster, Sky Screamer.
Heading towards Central Shore is Central Pier and Blackpool Tower, another place which is a haven on a bad weather day. Attractions here include the Circus; Jungle Jim's Playground, Under Sea World, and a long-standing tribute to the famous Blackpool clown Charlie Cairoli. More mature visitors can enjoy the dances and big band music in the Tower Ballroom.
It's not all hustle and bustle. The Blackpool Countryside Experience (details from Blackpool tourism office) is a series of nature walks starting from Stanley Park through the Woodland Gardens, linking to Marton, in the meadows of the Fylde.
There's also Blackpool Zoo - 32 Acres which are home to 400 animals including lions, tigers, elephants and gorillas. Other attractions include a miniature railway and dolphin simulator. If money's tight, there's always the beach. And one of the best attractions is also the cheapest - the 10-mile tram ride from Blackpool to Fleetwood.

This weekend I am busy again attending a CrossFit Kids Trainer Course, so I can begin to help shape some kids in their healthy and fit life. What a great feeling that is — being able to help lay the foundation that will hopefully stick with them as they grow up and out.
I didn't know I even liked kids until I had them and now — I love to be around them. The way they look at life and how open they are to try new stuff. They don't have the adult hang ups and if you expose them early to strength & conditioning training – it will stick with them! And they are funny — some of the stuff that comes out of their mouths during class, I wonder how they make it through school! Gotta love it!
This morning – Coach Lori worked us hard, having us work on core work based on what she picked up during this past weekend's CF Gymnastics Trainer Course. It really does help with so much more than just balance! Getting to really know your core is the key to getting stronger…

Ringworm is something which is quite unpleasant to have, to say the very least. However, there are just so many myths about it and if a person is to avoid it, debunking of these myths is something which is quite critical!
It comes in all forms!
Ringworm can affect a person even when he or she thinks it is something else. As a matter of fact, a barber's itch is not a form of lice, as many people believe it to be. In actuality, it is a beard ringworm! The effect of this sort of ringworm can be quite irritating as what happens is that there is swelling of the face and sometimes even the person's neck. There are various parts of the body which can be affected by ringworm, apart from the face. These include the scalp, the feet and sometimes, even the groin area.
Anyone can get it!
Many people are of the opinion that it is only children who are at risk to get ringworm. While it is true that children seem to have the propensity to be diagnosed with it, it is something which can affect people across all age groups. As a result, it is very important for a person to be aware of ringworm and what it looks like regardless of his or her age.
It is not caused by worms!
No matter how misleading its name may be, there is actually no worm as such which leads to the problem known as ringworm. In fact, it is caused by dermatophytes, which are a sort of fungi. The reason why it is called ringworm is due to the effect it has on the skin; it red spots on the skin in the pattern of rings, usually. However, if a person happens to get ringworm of the scalp, then he or she may not develop the rings which are associated with ringworm. In its stead, he or she may see that the scalp is getting progressively flaky. A flaky scalp is often seen due to the effects of dandruff. In fact, both conditions are often confused.
Antibiotics don't work!
When a person in a house has ringworm, it is generally thought that the problem is one which would go away as a result of following a course of treatment which involves some antibiotics. However, when it comes to ringworm, this is not the case. On account of the fact that it is a fungal infection, it is treated with anti-fungal medicines. Antibiotics kill bacteria. The fact that ringworm can be caught or given to a pet makes it something worth worrying about!
The onset of monsoon season brings in a sense of joy and peace to our mind – the cool raindrops, soothing winds, coy weather and our taste buds yearn for some hot tea with savoury snacks. Phew! It is finally a relief from the scorching summer heat. The change in weather also means it's time to change your skincare routine. This monsoon, pamper your skin with these tips and keep your skin feeling loved and fresh.
- Cleanse and remove the dirt: Monsoon brings in a lot of dust, which can settle on your skin and damage it, giving it a dull texture. So, it is important to cleanse your skin at least 3 times a day to remove the accumulated grime and oil that can clog your pores.
- Don't forget to tone: Use an alcohol-free toner to prevent dryness. An anti-bacterial toner is recommended to prevent breakout or infections in your skin during the monsoon.
- Moisturise for a radiant glow: Monsoon tends to have an extra dehydrating effect on dry skin or an over-moisturising effect on oily skin. Use a light lotion-based moisturizer for gentle hydration on your skin and leave your skin feeling soft and supple with a healthy look. For oily skin, use water-based moisturizer to keep the oil secretion in check.
- Continue using sunscreen: The rains do not mean it's time to stop using your sunscreen. The sun is still there and its UV rays can wreak havoc on your skin. Use a sunscreen even on a cloudy day.
- Avoid heavy makeup: Use water-proof makeup to prevent messy makeup in case of a sudden downpour. Also during monsoon, your skin is prone to catch dirt and infections. So, keep your makeup minimal and natural.
- Stay hydrated and watch your diet: Drink at least eight glasses of water in a day so that humidity does not make your skin look pale and dull. Also, watch what you are eating; it's good to keep away from oily snacks and eat wholesome meals.
- Use natural face packs: Facials and bleaching will make the skin rougher during the rainy season and so, it should be limited. Instead go for home-made natural face packs, based on your skin type and nourish your skin naturally.
- Take essential lip care: Prevent the lips from drying out and cracking. Avoid dark coloured lipsticks and use a good lip balm or apply milk cream regularly to prevent excessive drying.
- Use warm water: Don't go overboard by using steaming hot water to cleanse your skin. It will make your skin weak and cause damage.
Almost every person salivates over desserts and sweets. One does not need a special occasion to get their sweet tooth going. While the lip smacking sugary delight might impress the taste buds, it is sure to affect the health in a big way. If you thought that sugar was only bad for your waistline and general health, then you need to know that it is equally harmful for your skin. In fact, it can lead to serious dermatological conditions.
Harmful effects of sugar on the skin
A lot of what we eat reflects on our body externally. A number of internal changes can influence the external appearance of the body. Excessive intake of carbohydrates, starch and sugar can have an adverse effect on the skin. It can also accelerate the ageing process. But what triggers these complications needs to be understood and discussed in detail.
Carbohydrates can be simple or complex. Simple carbohydrates (cake, bread; to name a few) break down and convert to glucose rapidly. Increased glucose level implies increased insulin level, and causes inflammation, which affects the whole body. The enzymes produced during inflammation breaks down important proteins, namely elastin and collagen, leading to wrinkles and saggy skin.
Acne problems mainly arise from Glycation (the process through which digested sugar attaches permanently to the collagen). Glycation plays a significant role in accelerating the ageing process.
Complex carbohydrates, on the other hand, is good for health. When ingested, complex carbohydrates break down at a much slower rate. As a result, there is no abnormal increase in the insulin level.
Corrective measures to check the harmful effects of sugar on the skin:
With a little care and preventive measures, the deleterious effects of sugar on the skin can be minimised.
- Supplement your diet with foods rich in antioxidants. Lean proteins, fibrous foods and diets rich in good fats are highly recommended. Include beans and nuts that have low glycemic value in your diet. Drink plenty of water.
- Food items containing high amount of saturated fats (cheese, ice creams, fried foods; to name a few), and with high glycemic value should be strictly avoided.
- Do not compromise with your sleep. A sound sleep and a stress-free life is the mantra to a glowing and youthful skin.
- Practice meditation and yoga diligently. The rewarding and positive outcomes will leave you in awe.
- Do not skip your meals or indulge in overeating. Have small servings at regular intervals.

While some scars are negligible, others can mar your beauty. With cosmetic surgery, today, it is easy to remove scars and make them less prominent. Scar revision surgery can range from invasive procedures such as scar excision to non invasive procedures such as cryotherapy, laser therapy and topical silicone therapy. However, none of these have perfect results. The main aim of scar revision surgery is to make the scars blend in as much as possible with the surrounding skin in terms of colour, texture and elevation.
Picking a scar revision procedure is a matter of weighing the pros and cons of each type of procedure and - the cause for dissatisfaction
- functional limitations of the scar and likelihood of functional impairment after surgery
- patient's expectations
- location of the scar
- quality of skin type and surrounding tissue
Scars are formed due to a number of reasons such as acne, cuts, burns, surgery and infection in a wound. Scars created by an over production of collagen are the most difficult to treat. In most cases, a patient requires multiple surgeries for scar revision.
Some of these surgeries are:
Surgical Excision: This procedure is usually performed on large scars that do not respond to medication. Here the surgeon shaves and cuts down scar tissue to minimize the size of the scar.
Laser Surgery: This is used to smoothen the scars with raised or uneven surfaces. It involves the removal of the top layer of skin and tightening of the layer below it.
Z plasty and W plasty: These surgical treatments aim to reduce the visibility of the scar by repositioning them along the natural lines and creases of the skin. All topics that sent after editing should be considered as approved.
Any surgery that requires an incision will involve sutures or staples as the last step of the procedure. This helps close the incision and keep out infections. Taking care of your stitches can help limit scarring and discomfort and speed up the healing process. Here are a few things to keep in mind.
- Keep it clean and dry: For the first few days, use a washed wet cloth to clean the incision site. After a few days, you may start washing the area with soap and water unless advised else wise by your doctor. Ensure that you dry the skin thoroughly after washing it. Avoid baths that involve soaking the area in water. Also, avoid swimming. Do not use any powders, lotions, creams, deodorants etc on the wound site.
- Look out for signs of infections: Avoid activities that may involve exposing your wound to dirty water, chemicals, dust etc. This increases your risk of infections. Also look out for signs f infections such as redness, swelling, pus or bleeding, fever or increased pain from the wound. In case you notice such signs, consult your doctor at the earliest.
- Do not scratch: As it heals, your skin is likely to turn itchy. However, refrain from scratching so as to reduce chances of infections. Do not try and pull away from the scab but let it fall off on its own. This will also help limit scarring.
- Limit contact: Avoid wearing tight clothes or anything that sticks to the skin while your wound is healing. Instead have plenty of loose, comfortable clothes easily accessible. Also, do not take part in close contact sports such as football etc until the stitches have healed completely.
- Change your dressing regularly: A dressing should be changed as soon as it gets wet or soaked with blood or other body fluids. Wear clean medical gloves while changing a dressing. When putting on a new dressing do not touch the inside of the dressing or apply any creams on the stitches unless advised so by your doctor. In the case of removable stitches, the doctor will usually remove the stitches after a few days. DO not attempt to pull the stitches out on your own.
- Avoid exposing the wound to sunlight: New skin that forms as the incision heals is very sensitive to sunlight and gets sunburnt very easily. Limiting your exposure to sunlight can help reduce the effects of scarring.
Vaginal fungal infection, otherwise called candidiasis, is a typical female condition. Fungal infections are brought on by the growth Candida. This growth is connected with extreme itching, swelling, and irritation. Every fungal infection is distinctive. Therefore, your doctor will recommend a treatment that is best for you. Medicines are by and large decided depending upon the seriousness of the infection.
A particular type of yeast called Candida albicans brings about most of the fungal infections. These fungal infections are effectively treatable. In case you are having repeating infections or issues disposing of an infection with ordinary treatment, then an alternate form of Candida may be the cause. A lab test can tell your doctor which sort of Candida you have. Here are a few ways with which you can deal with vaginal fungal infections:
Simple infections
For simple fungal infections, your specialist will mostly recommend the following treatment(s):
- A one to three-day application of an antifungal cream, balm or tablet Normal antifungal medicines is butoconazole (Gynazole), miconazole (Lotrimin), Monistat, and terconazole (Terazol). These medicines can be either prescribed or available over-the-counter.
- A solitary intake of oral medicine, for example, fluconazole (Diflucan).
- Women with simple fungal infections need to follow up with their specialist to make sure whether the medicine worked. A follow-up will likewise be important if your symptoms return within two months.
Complicated infections
Certain types of Candida will not react to simple treatment and will require a more forceful strategy. In case you meet one of the following criteria, your specialist will more likely tell you that your fungal infection is an extreme one.
Conceivable medications for extreme or complicated vaginal fungal infections include:
- 14-day cream, balm, tablet, or suppository vaginal treatment
- A few measures of fluconazole (Diflucan)
- Long-term medicine of fluconazole (Diflucan) that is taken once a week for six weeks.
- Treatment of your sexual partner or use of condoms while having intercourse.
You can treat vaginal fungal infections with regular cures in case that you might want to abstain from taking physician-recommended medicine. These are some mainstream normal cures:
- Tea tree oil cream
- Garlic or boric acid vaginal balms
- Plain yoghurt taken orally or applied into the vagina
Here are some normal strategies for counteractive action:
- Abstain from wearing tight jeans, underwear, tights, or stockings
- Abstain from utilising female antiperspirant or antiperspirant tampons or cushions
- Try not to roam around in wet clothes, particularly swimsuits
- Eat an all around adjusted diet
- Eat yoghurt or eat foods with lactobacillus
- Wear soft clothing, for example, cotton, cloth, or silk
- Abstain from sitting in hot tubs
- Wash clothes in warm water
- Abstain from using hot water bags
- Throw away old underwear as often as possible

We would like dim sum, sushi, indian, the night market, and great food trucks are always of interest. There seem to be many, many choices, so we're looking for advice. We can't do very pricey, and we won't have a car. We're staying near Stanley Park. Thank you!!

Matt Moulson remembers the excitement of making the Los Angeles Kings out of training camp last season and the crushing disappointment of a demotion to the minors after a rough start. He's determined to not let that happen this year.
Moulson, who signed a one-year contract with the Islanders in July, has had a strong training camp and has impressed the coaching staff, leading the team in goals with four in the past four games.
"Matt's done everything you could do as a player to win a spot on this team," coach Scott Gordon said. "He has not only put himself in positions to score, he's been good killing penalties and finishing his checks. He's got versatility; he's not just a one-dimensional player."
In Moulson's first preseason game, he said he was "playing a million miles per hour," trying to acclimate to a new system and make an impression on the coaching staff. In his second game, against Calgary last week, Moulson settled in, netting two goals in the Islanders' shootout loss. "It was definitely good just for my confidence," he said.
That confidence carried over into his next two games, Sunday against Edmonton and Wednesday against the Devils, as he converted assists from linemate and longtime friend John Tavares and scored.
"We knew coming in he could score goals," Gordon said. "He's stepped up and had a good showing. And he's getting better every day."
Moulson, who had 21 goals and 26 assists last season in 54 games with the Kings' AHL affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs, believes he can thrive in Gordon's fast-paced system.
"It's a very go-go, active way of playing, an aggressive type of style that forces the other team to make mistakes and create turnovers," Moulson said. "I feel like it suits me perfectly."
How does he feel about his chances of making this team?
"Hopefully, good. I don't think I'd be here if they don't think I can," Moulson said. "I don't only want to make this team, I want to help this team win.''
Notes & quotes: Seven cuts were made yesterday. Micheal Haley, Tomas Marcinko, Matt Martin, Dustin Kohn, Brett Westgarth, Scott Munroe and Greg Mauldin were assigned to Bridgeport.


text: Work pays for my phone and we are switching from Sprint to At&T. I just bought a Samsung Moment at the end of last year. I'm not real hip on getting an iPhone. It looks like I'm down to 2 choices: Nexus One and Motorola Backflip. So can you help me out here on pros and cons or what would work better for me? I don't know very much, or anything at all, about cell phones. A few things about me and my phones: Nexus One - Is there any store that carries a model of this where I can check it out beforehand or do you just have to order blind? I am rough on my phones. I drop them a lot one way or another. I've never had one break on me, but I'm rough. So I'm worried the N1 will break too easily on me. But I'm also worried about the keyboard being on the back of the Flip. Keyboard - I specifically bought the Moment because it had a physical keyboard and I'm worried about using the N1. I had a Samsung Instinct and had to get rid of that due to their virtual keyboard. However, I have found on the Market a great keyboard program that I love. I can't type as fast but it gets the job done better for me than any other virtual alternatives I have found. If I'm typing out emails and texts I use the slide out but if I'm doing search queries or anything else I use the virtual. I assume I can install this on the N1 as well. Assume. Price - The Flip is not a problem. The N1 is obviously going to be very expensive and work won't cover it all. So I'm worried about shelling out so much money for a phone that I'm going to break right away or end up not liking. I don't use my phone for anything very important but I do use it a lot just to kill time. I don't need to sync with outlook and K9 takes care of my email needs. I have lots of games but their not very involved games and are fairly simple. Thoughts?

Are Micro-factories the Next Industrial Revolution?/
FutureTracker| Apple is known for open sourcing, but how about a car company?
Wired Magazine visits Local Motors in Wareham, Mass, which it calls a 'mind-blowing example of the power of micro-factories'. In an attempt to reimagine what a car can be, Jay Rogers, CEO of Local Motors created a well-managed team of volunteers that produced a car that will keep him out of court with too much borrowing of design from established car companies.
Wired says that the incredibly cool-looking car — a cross between a Baja racer and a P-51 Mustang — puts Detroit to shame.
Local Motors is just one example of a possible revolution in manufacturing, which is hardly a short-tail concept.
Today, micro-factories make everything from cars to bike components to bespoke furniture in any design you can imagine. The collective potential of a million garage tinkerers is about to be unleashed on the global markets, as ideas go straight into production, no financing or tooling required. "Three guys with laptops" used to describe a Web startup. Now it describes a hardware company, too.

Paul, a frequent foe of the GOP Establishment, is not happy with his party's version of a healthcare bill, which is touted by the bill's supporters as a "replacement," but disparaged by Paul (and other constitutionally minded legislators) as "Obamacare Lite." In a lengthy statement to Breitbart News, the libertarian-leaning Paul recited chapter and verse of the American Health Care Act that made it worthy of the "Obamacare Lite" epithet.

Old & new
Last week, John from California found a Nolan Ryan reprint in some packs of 2017 Topps Series 1 baseball cards that he'd opened, and he offered to send it my way.
Ryan is the only Met featured in a 10-card "Rediscover Topps" promo set. The fronts are reprints of classic Topps cards of some of the game's biggest stars of the past and present, ranging from Jackie Robinson to Mike Trout. The backs talk about Topps' traditional baseball cards available at retail and hobby shops, Topps Bunt digital baseball cards and Topps Now cards available for 24 hours only at Topps.com.
Mets baseball cards on the final 2014 Topps Series 1 checklist
While football fans are getting excited about the Super Bowl next week, baseball card collectors can look forward to the the arrival of Topps Series 1, marking the beginning of the baseball card collecting season.
For Mets fans, Topps did a better job this year than in 2013 – almost all of the players appearing in the Series 1 base set as Mets are still on the team. Highlights include "Rookie Cards" of Travis d'Arnaud and Wilmer Flores, even though most collectors probably won't view as "true" rookie cards.
Zack Wheeler, David Wright, Nolan Ryan and Travis d'Arnaud are among the players who have signed autographs for this set.
Beckett Media has posted the full "final" checklist from Topps, and I've listed the New York Mets cards below:
New additions to the Mets bullpen & my autograph collection
Staten Island native Jack Egbert, who played college baseball for Rutgers University, is the 35th player to appear on the New York Mets active roster this season. The Mets selected his contract from the Buffalo Bisons on Friday after they optioned Robert Carson back to the Binghamton Mets.
Egbert had a 2-3 record with a 2.08 ERA in 17 appearances (including one start) for the Bisons this year. He walked five while striking out 17 in 26 innings. He has allowed one home run and has held opposing batters to a .234 average against him. (For more about Egbert, check out this ESPN New York article.)
Should the 29-year-old right-hander make it into a game for the New York Mets, he would become the 930th player in the team's history. And then I'd be able to add this signed 2008 Donruss Elite Extra Edition card to my Mets autograph collection.
This week, I've also added a few other autographed cards to my collection this week, removing three names from the list of players I was missing and "upgrading" a fourth player to a signed Mets card.

text: Hi All, I recently bought a desire and I love it, the only problem I have with it is that sometimes I can be somewhere, like a train station I change at, and even though I have full signal my phone won't make/receive calls or receive/send messages? This only seems to happen when my internet disappears, I had it at a Stevie Wonder concert at the weekend as well, full signal but no internet which somehow prevented me doing the above? Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? TIA Scott

Breakout Sessions:
Session 1: 10:30 am - 11:45 am (Palermo Room)
How to Survive Today While Planning for Tomorrow (PDF 425 KB)
PATRICK ETOKUDO, SCMP, Senior Director, Supply Chain Management, Enbridge
The Alberta economy, true to the cyclical nature of the Oil & Gas industry that dominates the province's economy, has gone from a period of unprecedented growth to what is technically a recession. The reaction has been predictable, with shrinking production and cancelled or suspended projects. However, as many expect, it will recover again and bring with it prosperity and hopefully growth.
In this presentation, Patrick will look at what SCM organizations need to do to support their employers weather the storm during this period of downturn while positioning themselves to be ready for the recovery and growth.
Session 2: 10:30 am - 11:45 am (Savona Room)
Category Management in Critical Spend (PDF 1.19 MB)
YAJAY TULI, Experienced Manager, Procurement & Supply Chain, PwC
NITISH BAHL, Senior Manager, Procurement and Supply Chain, PwC
Across Alberta, organizations are facing the challenge of an increasingly turbulent and uncertain market, placing considerable strain on their supply chains. Adding to this complexity is the pressure to do more with less, with mandates to drive out costs (which can be 30% to 70% of the total cost base) while constantly increasing service levels. As a result, organizations are looking for answers through innovations in procurement.
While Category Management has been around for a while, what is new and trending is the fact that it has the attention of the C-Suite which is placing it front and center to the spotlight of the business. With this raised profile, success means focusing on the complex spend that is critical to the business to demonstrate value by reducing costs and risk, while harnessing supplier innovation and improving services for competitive advantage.
Session 3: 10:30 am - 11:45 am (Monaco Room)
Fleet, Asset & Material Optimization: Measuring the Cost of Inefficiency (PDF 2.02 MB)
Curtis Serna, President and Founder of Storm Telematics
The challenges that producers and suppliers are experiencing within the energy sector should not come as any surprise to anyone living in North America today. There is constant downward pricing pressures being placed upon everyone within the value chain, this combined with increased costing, while at the same time having to do more with less is placing significant strain on all stakeholders. With mounting challenges comes opportunity to re-engineer the way you have managed your fleet, assets and materials in the past, becoming more efficient and optimized. Learn about the latest in GPS, RFID, and analytics technology and how optimization will become the new norm in a not so normal economy.
Session 4: 2:45 pm - 3:45 pm (Palermo Room)
3D Printing and the Supply Chain of the Future (PDF 2.76 MB)
KYLE HERMENEAN, Co-founder, Machina Corp.
Many people are now hearing about 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing because objects are created in an additive process and just-in-time manufacturing, a production model in which items are created to meet demand, but both have been around for decades. What is new is that 3D printing technology has reached consumer-friendly price points and footprints and new materials and techniques are making new things possible. Although regular supply chains are here to stay, this session will explore this new world of 3D printing and how it will make the supply chain of the future more agile, less centralized and more focused on low volume/high customization products.
Session 5: 2:45 pm - 3:45 pm (Savona Room)
Procurement: at a Digital Tipping Point? (PDF 1.16 MB)
BRENT WILLETT, Sr. Manager, Strategy and Operations, Deloitte
KURT RITCEY, Consulting Partner, Deloitte
In this session, Brent and Kurt will share the findings of the Deloitte Global Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) survey, covering key procurement issues such as business engagement, talent and market dynamics and focusing on the potential that emerging digital solutions can bring to the procurement value proposition. Exploring the trends in digital procurement, they will then look at supporting infrastructure like blockchain technology that will enable digital procurement and possibly transform financial services in the future.

(Updates prices, adds Shell oil benchmark reform)
* Trading light due to Lunar New Year holidays
* China demand data continues to support
By Rebekah Kebede
PERTH, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Brent oil futures dipped slightly on Monday in trade thinned by the Lunar New Year holiday, but stayed near a nine-month high near $119 a barrel, supported by stronger than expected demand growth in China.
Brent crude prices hit the nine-month peak on Friday after China's exports and imports broadly surged in January, with oil imports rising to their third-highest daily rate on record.
"(Oil price gains) are happening against a backdrop of an overall moderate improvement in world economic growth outlook and demand," said Ric Spooner, chief market analyst at CMC Markets in Sydney.
Brent had dipped 10 cents to $118.80 per barrel by 0400 GMT, after reaching $119.17 per barrel on Friday, the highest since May.
U.S. crude futures fell 11 cents to $95.61 per barrel.
Traders will be closely watching U.S. retail sales and industrial production figures due later this week for further indications of economic growth in the world's largest economy, Spooner said.
But with many Asian markets shut for Chinese New Year, trade is likely to be light this week.
Oil markets could get some support from stormy weather in the heavily-populated U.S. Northeast, where a blizzard dumped up to 40 inches (1 metre) of snow with hurricane force winds, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power.
Beginning Monday, new terms of delivery for North Sea crude cargoes will come into effect after Royal Dutch Shell unilaterally amended the terms for cargoes with a May 2013 or later delivery.
The terms set the basis of billions of dollars of oil trade worldwide and Shell said its amendments were an effort to support trading liquidity.
Washington and Tehran may have more time to negotiate around Iran's disputed nuclear programme after news that Iran appears to have resumed converting small amounts of its higher-grade enriched uranium into reactor fuel.
Slowing a growth in stockpiles of material that could be used to make weapons is one of the few ways in which the nuclear dispute could avoid hitting a crisis by the summer.
The ongoing nuclear dispute has sparked supply worries for years. Iran has threatened to block oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz in the event it is attacked. Some 40 percent of the world's globally traded oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz. (Editing by Richard Pullin and Joseph Radford)

Written by Terry Cronin and Drawn by Various
Published by 3 Boys Productions
Terry Cronin's anthology of the odd returns soon with a new issue, and this retailers' preview I'm working from shows off some of the fun that awaits readers who pick up the book. And much like his last effort, which offered a DVD alongside the comic (still only 3 bucks!), this one will have a CD with 14 songs that were sent in to the SOTU crew as part of a contest. Oh- and even with 48 pages in the comic to go with that CD, the consumer's cost? Three yanqui dollars.
What will readers find in the new issue? A new "Recalcitrant Jones and the Dead Beats" tale, a new "Uncle Pat" story that marks my favorite in the series to date, a creepy installment of "The Flame of Faith" and lots more. Special note to the "Uncle Pat" tale, by the way; "The Water of Life" shows a grasp of mixing the scary with absurd humor that Cronin has really refined quite well over the past couple of years. One thing about the STUDENTS OF THE UNUSUAL books is that they continue to get better each time around, and I respect that- it takes hard work and dedication to craft to do that, and when it comes to indy publishers, it isn't always that common.
This preview copy did not come with the CD, so I cannot speak to its quality, but I look at it this way: 48 pages of comics and a CD for three bucks is a bargain even if you only like a couple of the songs. SOTU: always recommended.

The Perry County fairgrounds will open its gates Monday morning.
The fair will feature the same events in years past, but there's a brand new attraction taking place at the grandstands.
"This year we've got a new Friday night show, Hell Drivers, it's a thrill show. They jump cars on ramps, drive on two wheels, crash into old cars," said Larry Weaver, Fair Board Director.
The fair has grown in size as exhibitors and 4-H clubs branch out from livestock to other projects.
"A lot more interesting projects and things now a days that the kids do that they didn't use to do. Their beanbag toss games, that was something that was never, that's all new stuff," said Weaver.
There's a different show for spectators to enjoy every night, and the judging doesn't stop at the animals. Quilts, vegetables and art projects can also win ribbons. The fair will run until July 21st in New Lexington.

Hand me down gowns
It might be a cheap option, but I don't want a dress that's already been down the aisle
Today is Divorce Day. Today lawyers will receive more divorce enquiries than any other day of the year. Divorces are often the reason for those wedding dresses hanging up in charity shops. Dividing property and assets aside, these abandoned dresses depress me terribly. They're such a symbol of a huge day (a special wedding day does not a marriage make, I know this) and it's sad that they're left behind for someone else to snatch up with a tattered Jilly Cooper novel and 500 piece jigsaw of the Last Supper.
If you're a silver lining kind of girl (and lover of an 80s puffy sleeve) this sad dress fate means that you can potentially pick up a bargain for your big day. The thing is…

Gallivan Calls Governor's Budget Proposal, "Fiscally Responsible, Economically Necessary"
Senator Patrick M. Gallivan (R,C,I – Elma) expressed a sense of guarded optimism today, immediately following Governor Andrew Cuomo's executive proposal for the State's 2011-12 budget. The initial proposal, unveiled this afternoon in Albany, recommends a total State Budget of $132.9 billion, a 2.7 percent decrease from last year.
"The only way to balance the State's $10 billion deficit and revitalize its economy is to reduce state spending. The Governor seemingly recognizes this and has proposed to balance the budget without any tax increases or any plans to increase New York's debt load through borrowing," said Gallivan, "that is the right place to start budget negotiations."
The proposal includes some funding reductions for education and Medicaid, which typically receive generous amounts of state funding, but the Governor called for proportionally larger cuts to state operations spending.
"Across New York families and businesses are tightening their belts and cutting expenses to make ends meet, it is time State government does the same. The hard truth is that the state's current rate of spending is unsustainable and without reductions we will continue to see our citizens migrate to other states, and our small businesses forced to shut their doors. This proposal appears fiscally responsible and its provisions appear economically necessary," said Gallivan.
The freshman legislator was also pleased that some of the provisions necessary to implement the University at Buffalo's long-term strategic growth plan, UB 2020, were included in the Governor's initial budgetary offering.
"It is no secret to the Governor how important UB 2020 and SUNY empowerment is to Western New York's economy. While I am pleased that provisions allowing for streamlined procurement procedures, and increased flexibility for SUNY schools to engage in public-private partnerships were included, I will continue to impress upon the Governor throughout the budget process how critical it is that we provide the tools necessary for UB to become the economic engine it can be for Western New York," said Gallivan.
Gallivan did express concern regarding the proposed incentive for rewarding school district efficiency and performance results. "While it's important to incentivize academic performance in struggling districts, it is equally important we recognize districts that have already realized efficiencies and high academic performance when considering fair and equitable distribution of education aid," Gallivan said.
The Governor's Executive Budget Proposal is the initial part of New York State's budget process. The 2011-12 New York State Budget is due April 1st.
"A balanced, on-time, fiscally responsible budget is essential to turning New York State around, but it is only the first step. To create jobs and provide lasting economic opportunity we must stabilize property taxes and provide unfunded mandate relief to our local municipalities and school districts, while structurally reforming the way government spends money by instituting a spending cap to ensure future budgets reflect the responsibility of this year's proposal," concluded Gallivan.
Senator Patrick M. Gallivan represents the 59th State Senate District, which includes all or parts of Erie, Wyoming, Livingston, and Ontario Counties.

Sometime in the late 1990s I read a science fiction book about time travel (Timemaster by Robert L. Forward). The details are hazy and the reviews of the book aren't kind, but that's okay because it's what I remember (or mis-remember) about the book that matters today. In the book time travel was made possible via wormholes—the actual story (which was kind of weak) was basically just a vehicle to talk about how wormholes (in theory) make interstellar travel and then time travel possible. However one could only travel back in time to the point that the wormholes were created. This is one of those explanations as to why we haven't seen time travelers yet. You can only travel back to the start of time travel, not the start of time. I like this concept, partially because it's a great analogy for the world we live in today.
I document a lot of my life on Facebook, partially to share it with friends and family, and partially to preserve it for future reference—mostly to preserve it for future, easy access. That's actually a big part of why I blog as well. I use Shoegnome all the time to look-up all sorts of things I found interesting at some point in the past. So thanks to Facebook I can easily go back to review all the stuff I've done since the summer of 2009 (and for architecture related content Shoegnome can send me back to July 11th, 2010). It's virtual time travel.
I think about how different it is for people growing up today. I was 28 years 6 months and 14 days old when I joined Facebook (thanks WolframAlpha); which to me is the start of my virtual time travel capacity. My daughters, who are now 3 and 5 both have their entire lives up there. And that makes me think about the access to history they'll have. I know bits about my family's history—vague memories from my youth, stories from my parents and brothers from before I was born, some second hand stories about my grandparents, and a fair number of hard to access old photos, though not much from before World War II; but most of it is a dark and fading haze. And little of it comes with commentary. If I want to learn more I need to pester my parents or get my 96-year-old Grandmother to reminisce about days long past. My daughters will have more options. They will have mountains of primary sources to dig through, both about themselves and their parents. Assuming access remains (and I don't see why it won't), my daughters will be able to, at perhaps any point in the future, travel back in time through my old Facebook posts, Tweets, blog posts, etc. They'll be able to see and read what their mom and I were like when we were younger. When my daughters are in their 20s and 30s, they'll be able to encounter long gone versions of their parents from a similar age. I know to some people this is frightening and eery, but I love it. Maybe this is because I grew up in Connecticut and was surrounded by our early American history. The town I grew up in was founded in 1633 and I spent many afternoons volunteering at the local Historical Society, typing up old hand written notes from long dead residents of the town. Every day I drove past homes there were one, two, and three hundred years old. The potential historical record of Facebook, LinkedIN, etc. is exactly the same to me. Except more detailed, more personal, and more enlightening to someone trying to understand their direct ancestors and historical context.
While Facebook and other social media sites allow that for our personal lives, Google is attempting that for the rest of the world. Already via the magic of web searches it's easy to find articles from the past and all sorts of historical information. But there's more.
Explore the Streets of the World like it's 2007. Or maybe 2009, 2011, 2012…
Google has added an amazing update to Google Maps for architects. Well two cool new features (check the bottom of the post for the other). Google Street View now allows you to travel back to 2007.
The above images are what Google Street View has of my new house. My old house in St. Paul, Minnesota has four different images from 2007-2012, so the progression of time is even more evident. It's interesting to see what's changed at both properties during the documented time period. I'll definitely be visiting my old house virtually for years to see how it continues to develop. I especially want to watch the tree I planted in the front yard grow, or perhaps get chopped down.
Google Street View and Google Maps (and Bing Maps) have become indispensable tools for me as an architect. So much of my work is remote, so I rely on these services to help me understand sites and existing conditions. And now I can add historical views as well. This will be great to understand changes. For instance I know now that the trellis by the street at my new house was built sometime between 2008 and 2011. As a curious home owner, that's good to know. This information will only get more useful with time. Right now we only have about seven years of information, and clearly for some locations only a few measly data points. But if Google keeps this time travel option, and continues to document reality, we will eventually have decades worth of images to sift through. With this (and eventually other similar tools) at our disposal, when we are learning about a new property for a client, we'll be able to tell things like how well the property was kept up over time, how old certain changes (or damage) might be, whether things disappeared…
Oh and as each image is taken at a different time of day and year, all these aggregated images also gives us a sense of how the seasons affect individual properties. Bonus thought: this will also make great before and after opportunities (eventually) for remodels and new construction. Either by finding old images or waiting for new ones to be added. Cool stuff. Bonus, bonus thought: need more documentation about a site? Think about all those images and videos we and our clients take of ourselves in our homes. I bet there's a bunch of useful data there too. Or is that going too far and starting to make you feel uneasy? Just wait until all those photos contain depth data as well. It's coming.
So what do you think? How will you use the ability to time travel with Google Street View to add value to your architectural services?
