'A Way Out' Topped Social Mentions @ EA Play 2017, Beating Need for Speed & Battlefront II
Hazelight's A Way Out was certainly one of the highlights of the EA Play 2017 conference ended a couple hours ago. You can learn more about the EA Originals game in our previous post, but it's interesting to note that our friends at Brandwatch promptly provided social data indicating that A Way Out got by far the most social mentions, even beating heavyweights like Need for Speed Payback and Star Wars Battlefront II.
This is certainly quite the achievement for the small Swedish team.
According to Brandwatch, over 50k social media posts were made between 12 and 1PM (Pacific Time), with 82% of the authors being male and 18% being female.
In case you're unfamiliar with it, Brandwatch is a "social media intelligence" platform used by one-third of the Fortune 100 companies, including Microsoft, IKEA, eBay, L'Oreal, American Airlines, Walmart, Pepsico, Asos, and Unilever. You can find out more about it on the official website.

Goosnargh Duck
Goosnargh, pronounced 'goose-ner', ducks comes from a little village of the same name situated between Longridge and Preston in Lancashire. Quite why this little village produces ducks of such high quality is not readily apparent. Not in question is the fact that ducks need water, and there is certainly no lack of water in the village of Goosnargh. Its success, however, more likely relates to the high-quality producers of poultry in this area.
They have created an international reputation for producing high-quality ducks that have been fed on a diet free of chemicals. The producers are so fiercely protective of their reputation that they are seeking EU protection to stop other duck producers from outside the village tagging their ducks with the name Goosnargh.
Goosnargh Duck originates from cross breeding Peking and Aylesbury ducks, which has resulted in good bone to meat balance and, in particularly, heavy breast weight. Their appearance is what you would expect to find in a children's book, having a yellow beak and white feathers. Goosnargh ducks are normally killed when they are 56 days old and the flavour is improved by hanging the duck for two days.
The quality of Goosnargh Duck has resulted in local fine-dining Lancashire restaurants featuring Goosnargh Duck on their menus. The availability of quality local produce has fostered a circle of demand from popular restaurants creating an increase in the production of local produce, so that producers, restaurants, and customers all benefit from local quality produce.
Here at Albert Matthews we source all our meat from traditional and rare breeds bred and raised in Lancashire, Cheshire and the Cumbrian Fells districts. We have stayed true to the ethos of our founding father, Albert Matthew, who opened his first shop in 1935 and vowed to sell only the finest local livestock.
Today, we are continuing to stay true to the tradition of our ancestor and only sell the finest livestock from local sources in our shops. As we have expanded into an online environment with a website, we are now able to offer this amazing quality meat to the whole of the UK. We are proud of the quality meat we sell at Albert Matthews butchers and hope our passion for quality meat will give our customers a great eating experience.
You can be assured that if you buy Goosnargh Duck, the bird will have been slowly reared without the aid of growth promoters. The ducks are dry plucked and then hung to intensify the flavour so that the full flavour of the duck comes through during the cooking process.

If you wish to study in Germany you need health insurance. Without it, you cannot be enrolled. So, as soon as possible after your arrival, you should take out health insurance.
You are obliged to insure yourself until you are 30 years old, or until your 14th study term. At worst case, if you do not have insurance you could be barred from studying.
Many Studentenwerke offer Servicepakete for international students which, besides accommodation and meals, may also contain health insurance.
In Germany there are two kinds of health insurance, compulsory/public and private. Basically, up until you are 30 years old or until your 14th term of study you must have compulsory health insurance. Private health insurance is only allowed in exceptional cases. Please note: once you take out private health insurance you cannot revert to public health insurance!
In most cases the public health insurance is the more reasonably priced version anyway - unless you are covered by your parents' private health insurance.
You can get more advice from the social help desks in the Studentenwerke or the academic international offices at the universities.
With some countries, such as members of the European Union and the European Economic Area, Germany has a social security agreement. As long as you have public health insurance at home you can get this insurance coverage approved by a public health insurance company in Germany. But make sure you clarify at home which documents you will need to take with you! For students this is usually a European health insurance card (EHIC). Your insurance company will usually issue the EHIC free of charge.
Please note the following change that applies since the end of 2017: As soon as EU- or EEA-students take up a part time job or a paid internship, they have to apply for German health insurance.
It is possible that your insurance will not cover all costs in Germany. Before you enter the country make sure you know exactly what services you are entitled to in Germany. If you do not have health insurance at home, you still have to insure yourself in Germany - just like all other students.
Sometimes private health insurance from other countries may also be recognised in Germany. You should clarify the exact details with your insurance.
If your private health insurance is recognised then for the purpose of your enrolment at university you will need confirmation that you are exempt from taking out public health insurance. But be aware that for the duration of your studies you cannot change to public health insurance!

A three-vehicle head-on collision in Southwest Virginia on the afternoon of June 2, 2016, left two people dead and two others hospitalized with serious injuries. The fatal crash occurred at the intersection of Commonwealth Boulevard and Virginia Avenue near the boundary where the city of Martinsville transitions into Henry County.
Virginia State Police reported that the driver of a BMW sedan caused the deadly wreck by speeding into the intersection, crossing the center line and striking a van and a Nissan sedan that were turning left. A passenger in the BMW was killed at the scene, while the drivers of the van and Nissan survived with major injuries. The at-fault driver lost his life after being taken to a hospital.
Troopers originally announced their intention to file charges against the man driving the BMW. That plan proved moot when he passed away. Despite his death, his estate and auto insurance policy should remain liable for settling personal injury and wrongful death claims. One of the reasons Virginia requires drivers to carry insurance is to ensure that victims of negligence or recklessness do not end up paying the full costs of harms inflicted by someone else. The obligation to compensate victims does not go away when the responsibility party passes.
Consulting with an experienced Virginia car accident attorney could help the passenger's family and the injured drivers receive the payments they need to cover their losses.

Writing historical fiction can be a bit of a challenge, especially when one is writing about a period as strange and wild as 19th century America. It was a monstrous time of social and racial oppression, outrageous financial shenanigans, environmental catastrophies, grinding poverty and the lack of any kind of meaningful social safety net—not at all like the world we live in today.
That was a joke, son. Just in case you missed it.
It is often said that the difficult part of writing historical fiction is resisting the temptation to put all your research into what you've written. The implication is that the writer, having slaved over many a dusty tome, wants to show off a bit—because really, what other reward is there? But I think the truth is a bit different. I think the writer of historical fiction comes forward, Cassandra-like, bearing an insight that is often given lip-service to but is actually understood all-too-infrequently: that there are crucially important lessons that we as a nation and a civilization and a species keep getting pounded over the head with, and yet we simply do not learn. It's evocative of the old chestnut, "Those who cannot remember history are doomed to repeat it." But I find that statement a bit wishy-washy for my taste. I think it needs a bit more force, vis: "Darlings, if you can't bother yourself to learn from history, then you deserve whatever the hell you get."
I chose to write about America in the 1870s for several reasons. First, it was the time in our history when the institutions which would come to be known as uniquely "American"—including mass media, free market capitalism, the cult of celebrity, and consumerism—flowered in a way never seen before. Second, with the Civil War a decade past and a hundred years of history under our belt, there was a newfound sense that America was a country with a larger destiny—a global destiny. While America would remain largely isolationist for many years to come, I think the idea that this incredibly rich country could become a new kind of empire—one founded on luck and pluck and steam-powered innovation—was born in 1876 at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, inspired by marvels like the Corliss Engine, the typewriter, and Alexander Graham Bell's telephone.
And last (but not least) the clothes were just to die for. (Corsets notwithstanding.)
With so many important elements of history intersecting in 1876, I could have written a couple of much longer and drier books. But I've found that readers tend to get a bit tetchy when the drama, adventure, and romance are put on hold in favor of exposition describing the far-reaching financial and political ramifications of the gold standard. But while I've curbed the urge to expound on these historical events within the text, such pedantic instincts cannot be held in check forever. Thus, I've decided to write this series of articles, in which I will provide a humorous and most likely incredibly slanted view of the major historical events referenced in The Native Star. I hope they will enhance the enjoyment of those who know little about these events, and I expect they will also spark debate amongst those who are intimately familiar with the events in question (historical afficionados being a notably picky and quarrelsome lot.)
And before you even say anything, yes, I know the Elevated Railroad didn't run through Chatham Square until 1880. But I liked having it there, and so there it stands in 1876. Because in a 19th century America with magic, everything happened earlier, faster, and more interestingly. You'll just have to take my word for it.
Next up: America's 100th Birthday—The Philadelphia Centennial Exposition

Good Bye Fellow McNair Scholars and Staffs
I'll be officially starting my adventure tomorrow 6am, as the Goodwill ambassador of the city of Merced. I'm now already here in the LAX and waiting for 6am to come. I'm sorry I was too busy to visit all of you and say Bye, so I'll use this to make that up.
I'll start with a train to Bakersfield, then a bus to LA (I'm here), then follows an airplane to Seattle, then follows another airplane to Beijing, then follows the last plane to my final stop Sichuan on Jul 22–the longest trip ever…
It's a good memory to be in our group of McNairs and be surrounded by other awesome scholars in different fields. This belongingness is what cannot be acquired by working on the theoretical side of the world alone.
For example, having my first alcoholic drink on Jun 27–I'm a real boy!!–with all of you, and then drive (of course, in the game, and I always won the first place).
For example, be the badass Dr.Li in the bootcamp– badass means good, right?– and attack that Ravoo (forgot his name) for being a bad mentor on the stage and chose the best choice Xing Xi. (T, you still have that video right?)
Regarding the moment I pointed out GRE sucks, I think it is just who I am. If I see the king naked, I'll be the dumb boy to point that out; I'm a scientist. In the story it took only one boy to collapse the king; in reality it will take more to collapse the GRE.
For example, the "mysterious" bunny ear in your photo.
For example, eating Ethiopian food with chopsticks.
For example, eating in chocolate factory and realize our reimbursement is not $25 total but $25 every night.
For example, working on my research on my computer and let Jorge tell me it's very intuitive–JK.
For example, realizing my responsibility of being a McNair scholar during the first day of the bootcamp.
Of course, what I always like is eating all those food in the world for free
And also thank all of you who drove me around to either my apartment, main street, UC Merced, San Jose Bootcamp, Livemore National lab, etc.
Normally I go to China as vacation, this time I go with a lot of responsibility.
—-Of course, with great power, comes great responsibility
May mass*acceleration be with me! See you after I come back. It's a unforgettable memory to be with all of you in this summer.

Kickstarter and other online fundraising websites are a great way for a new business idea to become a reality. However, it is not a cure-all for new or established business financial woes. If you are thinking of raising funds for your new business or even an existing business, you want to make sure you don't fall into one of the many pitfalls associated with these crowdfunding sites.
Don't Just Rely on Kickstarter
Kickstarter has been around since 2009 and while it is great for raising funds, it is not a guarantee. If you only rely on Kickstarter and ignore other financing options, you are essentially pigeonholing your new business. For example, if you are a veteran, you can qualify for a loan via the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Know the Rights of the Investor
Like all crowdfunding, a legal gray area is hard to identify with these online services. While you may have little in promises from Kickstarter, realize that any promises you give to investors for investing you must keep. Unlike real investing, Kickstarter users that are not given what they are promised can get a refund from Kickstart – and leave you without the money.
Kickstarter is Not There to Bail You Out
If the people that have invested in your company decide to sue you later because you cannot deliver on your promises, Kickstarter will not represent you. Also, by using Kickstarter, you agree to release them from all liability – so they will not be there with you in court if you are sued.
Kickstarter is Only a Jumping Block
If you have a successful Kickstarter campaign, do not stop. You need to move on to other financial options to help establish equity in your business – such as a crowdfunding for equity venture. You want to eventually attract accredited, real investors into your company so that you can continue to grow.
It's Usually Not a One-Shot Thing
If you try Kickstarter, realize that it may not be successful the first time around. You are competing against other businesses and causes. If your marketing plan on the Kickstarter campaign isn't adequate enough, then it may not attract an audience to your business. If your first attempt fails, do not be afraid to try it again.
Speak to an Attorney before You Use Crowdfunding
While you may think crowdfunding is the best option for your business, you may want to speak to a Miami business attorney. With the legal gray area, Campbell Law Group can help you decide which funding method is best for your business. Call us at 305-328-9506 today to get started.

No issue what your expertise in writing, you can commence working as an write-up marketer. To acquire an knowing of how post advertising truly works, and to get some tips on having others write for your, go through this post.
Use freebies. Clients will buy from you once again if they know they can depend on you to give them cost-free samples. If your free items is branded with your symbol, you also get extra free of charge advertising and marketing when your freebie is utilized by your consumers. Decide on correct products, and you can be really successful.
You need to have to entertain audience with your articles when writing promotional articles or blog posts. Try to write in a friendly, informal fashion. Even if you are producing about some thing complex, use layman's terms to make it simpler. Uninteresting material will switch audience absent.
Be confident to have a content material-large e-mail checklist. Spam is extremely significantly disliked and there have been laws composed from it. This is why you need to make your e-mails intriguing and fill them with new articles. If you content material is junk, you will push away clients fairly than entice them.
Do not create articles in a way that allows men and women tell that they're created close to key phrases. If you say a search term much more than 5 times in an write-up, each your visitors and research engines will change absent from you. A safe exercise is to limit a distinct keyword to four moments in the article.
One particular effective technique of attracting the consideration of a reader is to get started the write-up by telling a joke.

Mr. Christensen, a well known professor at Harvard Business School, was being interviewed by Walt Mossberg in this video.
There are 3 parts to this video, talking about innovation in technology, healthcare, and education. I didn't quite agree with Christensen's prediction that Nokia will win the battle in building mobile devices. He seemed to have used his model on Nokia and Apple without taking into account the fundamental different natures of the two companies.
Having said that, I did feel that his talk on healthcare and education interesting. My question is how can we build technology systems that really help kids to learn in their own style, in a way that really maximizes the value of technology and human teachers?

|Hemlock's Diary
8-14 June, 2008
|Tue, 10 Jun
Countries unaccustomed to being taken seriously rejoice this morning as they receive evidence of how important they are. India has three cities in the list of the world's top commercial centres, as does Canada, while China has no fewer than five – thanks to the sterling efforts of Chengdu and Chongqing. Compilers of the survey inform us that plucky little Paris has pulled ahead of Frankfurt, while all four Asian tigers – Hong Kong, Seoul, Singapore and Taipei – "rank well in the financial as well as knowledge creation and information flow dimensions."
How does Singapore rank above Hong Kong when by any standard measure – depth of markets, size of skills clusters, trade volume, etc – the former is a shadow of the latter? The compilers of the report considered livability as a factor, which would obviously weigh against a city where urban planning is controlled by psychopaths who for all practical purposes might as well be on the take from real estate and construction interests. On the other hand, they also gauged personal freedom, which must have counted against a city where government is controlled by a senile, mouth-frothing tyrant who bankrupts those who disagree with him and throws film makers in jail. As it happens, the more successful commercial centre is the one where the air is poisonous but the taxes are so low no-one wants to leave.
Looking closely, we see that the compilers of the report include several Canadians, a Chinese and what would appear to be a Singaporean Indian. And, on further investigation, we notice that the whole thing is a public relations exercise by MasterCard, designed primarily to get the name MasterCard into the newspapers. So it is a more pretentious version of the infamous annual Durex survey that reports Hongkongers as having sex only once every six months, which at least sounds fairly accurate.
Although the MasterCard report's writers did not consider propensity to flooding, the Big Lychee's status as a business hub would not have been helped if Saturday had been a working day. For residents of Central, the highlight of the storm that morning must have been the silver Lexus that found its way on to Des Voeux Road less than an hour after the area had experienced nearly six inches of rain between 8am and 9am. Finding himself ploughing through two feet of an extremely unappetizing-looking liquid later described by the media as 'water', the driver clearly imagined that the best course of action was to put his foot down and force the tons of murk aside through speed as if it were, say, a group of orphans on a pedestrian crossing. After raising an impressive amount of spray, much appreciated by the easily amused crowds gathered to watch outside Worldwide House, the vehicle inevitably spluttered to a halt a few yards from an abandoned taxi, leaving the occupants to starve to death.

Words change their meaning over the centuries. The word 'silly' used to mean 'blessed' and came to mean 'innocent', and then 'gullible' – hence its modern use. Future etymologists will no doubt cite the Hong Kong Government when they trace a semantic shift that started yesterday when officials announced that "The eight newly-appointed undersecretaries and nine political assistants have voluntarily disclosed their salaries." The adverb used to mean 'of one's own free will', then it came to mean 'at knife point to get Chief Executive Donald Tsang out of a predictable and avoidable mess'.
FEDERATION OF Trade Unions representative Kwong Chi-kin dredges up every band-aid welfare solution to rising food costs for his motion today in the Legislative Council…
|Free breakfasts and lunches in school for children from poor families. Free food and milk in the classrooms. Food cooperatives to buy in bulk, community hot food centres and food banks for the hungry. Food and meal coupons. Free meal deliveries for the elderly. Is there anything we've missed? Anything from Britain's Labour administration in the late 1940s under Clement Atlee? Something from Johnson's mid-60s Great Society perhaps? A trendy scheme from Scandinavia maybe?
Given Kwong's tragic picture of ragged waifs scraping mouldy cabbage from the ground at wet markets, and his careful avoidance of hinting at anyone having to dip into their own pockets to pay for anything, even the most pro-business lawmaker will vote for this motion. They might not entirely like the emphasis on kids and the elderly, preferring welfare for the working poor so they can pay lower wages ('twas ever thus). But even the Liberal Party – which normally regards fellow humans as low-cost production units and captive consumers of overpriced goods and whose anti-poverty platform centres on euthanasia – offers only a mild amendment…
|Don't, in other words, blame the Big Lychee's supermarket duopoly and wholesale cartels, because they wouldn't dream of profiteering. As if any such thought would cross our minds.

|In the IFC Mall branch of Pacific Coffee this morning, a plump woman wearing those Buddhist jade beads on her wrist is sitting in my favourite chair – the one where the creepy looking girl who reads the Bible in Chinese can't mentally undress me, and I don't have to listen to the largely Western, latter-day 'Muscular Christian' men who hold hands around the table and ask the Lord to guide them through the day ahead. The outlet's one atheist customer is soon joined by wild ex-Mormon friend Odell, who is enthusing about Hong Kong's chicken cull – thousands of innocent birds, machine-gunned to death in the streets on the Herod-style off-chance that one of them might be carrying the H5N1 virus.
I tend to agree. Not only is it a good idea to slaughter the birds to protect public health, it sends a message to other life forms not to be irritating. Don't make stupid clucking noises, don't keep jerking your head around, and stop looking so stupefied about everything. And as if that weren't enough, the feathered ones' elimination offends a wide range of worthy people. The impossible-to-satisfy market-stall holders who demand compensation when they are not allowed to use the sidewalk as a blood-splattered abattoir. The crotchety old ladies whose extreme Cantonese culinary fundamentalism requires them to examine avians' rear ends before putting them in the cooking pot, heart still beating. And, for all I know, the deranged anthropomorphic Western women who mount mercy missions to Sichuan earthquake disaster zones to rescue gerbils.
But the real reason to welcome the dispatch of the squawking, malodorous egg-layers is surely for the rush of nostalgia. Go back a bit over 10 years, and Hong Kong – and the world – was watching in astonishment as men in sinister protective suits roamed the new ex-colony bundling 1.4 million chickens into black plastic bags and gassing them. In the background, the city's property market was starting to crumble, and its Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa was introducing his new style of leadership – government by running round in circles and flapping your arms. It was the start of 60 months of despair, joblessness, rising suicide rates, celebrity death, the SARS plague and a people's uprising. An era of such wretched awfulness it was fascinating and we miss it. No wonder the Big Lychee's authorities today are poised to zap edible fowl faster than you can say 'bird flu'.
|Fri, 13 Jun
Otter-like Education Secretary Michael Suen praises critical thinking, albeit from the comfortable obscurity of Peru. Suen's finest example of lively, inquiring thought came when demolition crews shocked the more sentimental folk of Hong Kong by starting to knock down the much-loved old Star Ferry Pier one day in late 2006 without warning. The Housing, Planning and Lands Minister, as he then was, declared, "…amendments to the Central District (Extension) outline zoning plan were gazetted in February 2002 to invite views from the public, and no objection was received … public consultation has been conducted in accordance with statutory procedures," in a leaden, numbing monotone that would make millions from insomniacs if it could be bottled.
It is a thankless task, weaving bureaucracy, mendacity and condescension in just the right way to impose on a reluctant and ignorant citizenry the policies that you know – and they refuse to accept – are correct. It takes its toll on a man. The evidence is there for all to see in the new book, Serving The Community Whether it Likes it or Not, a long-overdue paean to Hong Kong's golden generation of locally recruited administrators, the men of vision who rose through the ranks of officialdom to emerge in that hallowed pinnacle of power where it is forever the bold and fearless 1970s.
A Government employee since 1966, Suen in particular goes from strength to strength – inspiring and leading through vacuity and total risk-aversion. "Applied learning courses to be offered under the new senior secondary academic structure will provide a broad and balanced curriculum for students." Lima sleeps deeply this weekend.

Real Name: ?????
Place of Origin: ?????
Height: JvC Sgt. Recondo
Weight: Iron Grenadier v.1
Occupation: roundabout roustabout
Team Affiliation: none
First Appearance: Nutroll Preview 1
|Most of Nutroll's past is still shrouded in mystery. Many of the files on what is known of his earlier " stays" in the Inborn Correctional Institute are some of the highest classified documents in the institutes archives. At this point, it is believed that the only person who truly knows is Nutroll himself... and he's not a very reliable witness. Due to an excerpt in one of the earliest viewable documents, it is believed by many of those currently studying Nutroll that their subject's initial form looked vastly different than his current look. There are also rumors that the original team who tried to study Nutroll went insane and are now locked up on the bottom floor of the I.C.I.'s infamous "G-building" (where all subjects with psi-based powers are held, including Nutroll).
What is known about Nutroll is that he posesses ability to alter reality on certain fundamental levels and in an undetermined radius from his body. It's not yet known whether or not he's capable of doing these things or he simply wishes not to do them, for he seems to operate by a comical-yet-rigid set of rules. Although he never intentionally harms anyone, the resulting hysteria of people seeing him altering reality. He never attacks until provoked and, even then, he's merely toying with his attacker. He also seems to have no known physical weaknesses. While has has a physical form, he has nothing that can truly be studied. While X-rays and other tests visibly show that he has cartoonish versions of a skeleton, blood tests randomly conclude that his circulatory system is fueled by substances such as ketchup, red ink, applesauce, runny cake mix and a host of other liquids. It's safe to say that's one of Nutroll's gags too. Early I.C.I. reports seem to be so sure that he can't be destroyed that one can safely assume that they probably tried to do just that. The only person in the current I.C.I. Nutroll research team that seems to have connected with him is Dr. Tamara Sakimoto, who found most of the known info on him by applying a mix of her child therapy skills along with paranormal research. Out of every doctor put on the case, she has come the closest to getting inside Nutroll's mind. As you can imagine, that's a fact that both motivates and disturbs her. In fact, she is the creator of the 'Nutroll Protocols' which are the rules for dealing with Nutroll in various situations.
Nutroll is a kind soul. He helps old ladies cross the street, rescues kittens from trees and has been known to win a breakdancing contest or two to save an orphanage or recreational center. He's learned to disguise himself to the point where he can't be distinguised from regular humans. Of course, his bizarre behavior gives him away, but he's usually done something incredibly strange by then. In short, Nutroll is a hero in his own mind. Then again, who isn't?

Some of you may or may not know I have two sons. Roman is my eldest he is 14, and I have 12 year old Tino who is on the autistic spectrum.
He was diagnosed in 2006 when he was two years old and it is been a journey and a half. some good, some bad and some downright ugly but now he is older things have calmed down and plateaued although we are however on the cusp of the hormone phase. So I am bracing myself for that in order to guide him through it.
Tino is a really happy person, he sees the positive in everything. He is sweet, polite and hates any discord.
We are going through a vital stage in his education and after months of stress and worry, his father Daniel and I have finally found a school that Tino has been accepted at. It is a mainstream school with an amazing provision for children with special educational needs. We feel extremely lucky and relieved to have found one.
The journey we have been on, and the stories that you have kindly shared, have highlighted what a rarity these schools are. Your experiences have reinforced how difficult it is to find an appropriate school setting for children on the spectrum. We must not drop the ball, but must continue to fight until every child gets the education they deserve.
Please take a look at this clip to get a sense of our history.

Left me standin here
On this lonely street to cry
This is a Living Legends, Justice League
Definitive Jux presentation
Brought to you by 9th Wonder aaand MURS
[Verse 1: Murs]
What up though, still givin' a fuck so
Open up your changer and get ready to dump those
Disc of the dudes that be soundin' the same
They get up on TV, steady clownin' for fame
Disrespectin' ancestors that was bound in them chains
But I'm around in the game so thangs is bound to change
I'm tryin to walk that thin line between intelligence and ignorance
Have a little fun while makin' music of significance
A nemesis to niggas just bumpin' they gums
I give a fuck where you from, it's where your heart at bitch
You gon' bite, little doggy, or just bark that shit?
A slave to the rhythm, 9th spark that whip
Cause my heart can't quit, I got something to say
Cause these niggas wanna act N.W.A
Niggas With Artillery and nothin' to spray
Just some non-writing assholes with nothin' to say
[Hook & 9th Wonder speaking]
That's right motherfuckas
Old salty ass, sideways ass motherfuckas
Y'all fucked up now, huh? MURS, get em
[Verse 2: MURS]
I'm from where we leaving running and we hop outta cars
Jump out and beat you down in some new All-stars
No stars and stripes, just bars and pipes
And niggas just start shootin', they too hard to fight
I'm scarred for life, and charge this mic with bars of fright
Dare any one of you frauds to bite
I'm raw as life with loss of wife and cause of strife
Spittin' sharp wit like I floss with knives
Not contrived or conceited, on your radio repeated
I'm elitist and I leave this Red Hot like Kiedis
I'm a Californicator, and a street narrator
Steady runnin' rappers down until they meet their maker
Concrete caretaker to these weak imitators, they a
Screech to my Slater, piece of beef to a gator or the
Heat versus Lakers, I'mma speak to ya later
And let 9th take me out with techniques and a fader
[Hook & Joe Scudda speaking]
What's wrong wit y'all man?
The fuck is y'all thinkin' bout?
Damn, them motherfuckas is lame man, get ya shit right man
[Verse 3: Murs]
I'm from the home of Double K, nothin' but trouble gang
KWS's, LTS's, OFA's
And every other crew that used to rack cans and spray
And mob the RUD before the MTA
So don't hate what I say or talk down when I bust mine
Tryin' to make some green like the Culver city bus line
I'm unsigned and hyped, dump mines on sight
This Living Legend gang, what you punks rhymin' like?
I combine with 9th, sickest with these beats
I mean so sick like he's forgettin' to eat
A hard man to take down like Michael Vick on his feet
And anybody chose me they was thinkin' defeat
I'mma spit with this heat until I get my credit
I'm a verbal martial artist like I'm signed to Shady Records
And you bitches best respect it or I will destroy you
Have your whole crew screamin' out "You're My Boy Blue!"
This 9th Wonder production samples Black Heat's "Street of Tears." Using a play on the song and album title, 3:16, the song has 3 verses with 16 bars each.

He who observes the wind will not sow.
And he who regards the clouds will not reap.
Ecclesiastes 11:4 NKJV
whenever we see a cloud,
may we be reminded to steady our hearts,
refusing to look at our circumstances
so that
we remain fully focused on You
and the work
that remains to be done
until You return.
Every cloud is a flag
to your faithfulness.
Psalm 57:10 MSG
May we sow at all times and in all places
that You may reap a harvest that honors You
and brings You great joy...
You once made Your Presence known to Your
in a cloud by day
and fire by night.
Lead us. Lead our hearts.
And may we faithfully follow
wherever You choose to lead.
I pray that our children and their friends
walk faithfully as children of the Light
and that they seek and comprehend
all that You want them to understand.
May they have no fellowship with darkness
but rather live lives that faithfully and obediently
honor You (Eph. 5)…
May we not allow the sun to go down upon our anger
giving the devil a powerful place
in our hearts and in our homes (Eph. 4:26)…
Father, light our way through all darkness;
clearly reveal the paths You desire us to take…
Father God,
we plead for vast numbers of Christians
to offer themselves willingly
as vigilant warriors of worship
and intercession,
not ever holding their peace
but crying out day and night for
the people of every nation
and for the expansion of Your Kingdom
until Your Work and Your Will
are completely fulfilled
upon the earth (Is. 62:6-7)…
O Lord our God,
the majesty and glory of your name
fills all the earth
and overflows the heavens.
You have taught the little children
to praise You perfectly.
May their example
shame and silence Your enemies!
Psalm 8:1-2 TLB
You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you. When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers - the moon and the stars you set in place - what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?
Psalm 8:2-4 NLT
Father God,
how we long for our spiritual seed and spiritual children
to be multiplied as the stars of the heavens
and sands of the seas
that cannot be humanly measured,
overthrowing the powers of every spirit of darkness
that rise against them (Gen. 22:17).
And may our families, friends, church, and all who love You
desire the wisdom of Daniel
shining like the brightness of the heavens,
leading vast innumerable multitudes to You (Dan. 12:3).
Capitol in Montgomery, Alabama

where we usually begin our prayer walks
or do our Bible study when in Montgomery
This is also where the Civil War,
Civil Rights,
and Civil Liberties issues were ignited.
In the beginning God created...
Genesis 1:1 NIV
He has made everything beautiful in its time.
Also He has put eternity in their hearts,
except that no one can find out
the work that God does
from beginning to end.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 NKJV
Father God,
please open the eyes of scientists and students –
of people everywhere –
that they may recognize You as Creator
and fall in reverent wonder.
May Your Truth be revealed in exciting new ways…
May our prayers resonate throughout the world
and throughout the heavens
before the Throne of God –
melting hearts, crushing demonic strongholds,
and pressing back the gates of Hell,
setting captives free.
May we be world-changers and history-makers...
The rainbow is symbolic of Hope beyond Judgment. When violence and immorality once saturated the earth, God destroyed all that was living with a flood, saving only Noah and his family, with male and female animals.
Darkness is advancing to saturate the earth once again. But in the final Judgment, the Bible, news, and science describe a catastrophic destruction of the earth by fire (2 Pet. 3:10). But that's okay because we will survive. Though we face death, we will live with God in a Kingdom that cannot be shaken or destroyed. It's going to be wonderful!
help us to keep our thoughts on things above,
not on earth below.
The things of this earth are rapidly passing away,
but we will live and love and laugh in Your holy Presence
Do I hear a "Hallelujah! AMEN!"?
Even when I walk
through the valley
of the shadow of death,
how can I fear?
You're with me – embracing me,
guarding and guiding me (Ps. 23:4)…
The heavens proclaim
the glory of God.
The skies display
his craftsmanship.
Psalm 19:1 NLT
"For My thoughts are not
your thoughts,
and My ways are not
your ways,"
says the Lord.
"For as the heavens are higher
than the earth,
so are My ways higher
than your ways,
and My thoughts than
Your thoughts."
Isaiah 55:8-9 NLV
There's so much work remaining to be done.
May the church stop watching the skies
and focus on the fields,
diligently laboring for the Harvest of our God...
When Christ returns, no one will miss it...
For as the lightning
comes from the east
and flashes to the west,
so also will the coming
of the Son of Man be.
Matthew 24:27 NKJV
Jesus said,
"The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore,
to send out workers into his harvest field.
Go! I am sending you out"...
Luke 10:1-3 NIV
As a family, step outside to view the night skies and pray star inspiration prayers. Pray for astronomers, astronauts, those studying sciences from secular perspectives, those attempting to twist Truth - that God stagger their imaginations with His greatness, speaking to them day and night, even as they sleep. May they dream dreams and see visions... For protection of impressionable minds from every seed of deception... For those who know God - that He speak His secrets - astounding, secular shattering evidence - and grant them the excellent Wisdom and influence of Daniel, leading vast, innumerable multitudes to righteousness.
Those who are wise will shine
like the brightness of the heavens,
and those who lead many to righteousness,
like the stars for ever and ever.
Daniel 12:3 NIV
When read in context, this verse yields much more significance, especially in these days that we live in. As this realm grows darker, we're called to shine brighter ~ and we will bear that distinction as dynamite in a dark room, it cannot be ignored. Set the world on fire – an explosion of passion for God, His Word, His Will, His Wisdom, the people of this world, and holiness.
This is our appointed time!
May our families, friends, and all who love God
desire Daniel 12:3 wisdom,
desiring to shine ever more brightly as darkness presses in,
leading vast multitudes to righteousness.
Father, please grant us excellent wisdom in our interactions with
other Christians, as well as
those who do not yet know You.
Help us to respond to difficult questions.
Help us to respond to outbursts of wrath.
Help us to firmly control our own frustrations and angers
that we might walk in a manner that is pleasing to You.
Grant us excellent wisdom within Your Word,
wisdom in its personal application,
and wisdom in guiding others to apply it to their lives.
May our hearts and minds enjoy perfect protection from every seed of deception.
May Truth be firmly established deep within us
that we may wisely and effectively respond
to the issues and errors of this present age,
offering accurate information that will move
the hearts and minds of others into a greater understanding
of You and Your Will for their lives.
We thank You now for the abundance of wisdom
You have already begun to lavish upon us.
With great confidence we believe it will overflow -
spilling out in a dry and thirsty land,
watering the seeds of faith that have been planted
that much fruit may result, all for Your glory (James 1).
how I long for our level of obedience to be so great
that our families are able to claim the blessing of Abraham –
that You multiply our spiritual seed as the stars of the heavens
and as the sand on the seashore;
and that our children and grandchildren
possess the gates of our spiritual enemies –
not seeking any earthly or eternal reward…
May we all seek Your fame and glory
and the advancement of Your Kingdom
within the hearts of all humanity (Gen. 22:17)…
Discuss the Daniel 12:3 prayer inspiration with your children. Point out stars in the sky, stars on Christmas trees, stars on clothing, stars on billboards… You'll begin to see them everywhere, and they will inspire you all to pray more frequently and fervently. Teach them to pray for their friends, teachers, church, government officials, actors, actresses, musicians… Through the power of prayer, they will be fulfilling Daniel 12:3 as they lead vast, innumerable multitudes to righteousness.
The unfolding of Your words
gives light;
it gives understanding to the simple.
Psalm 119:130 NIV
So live as people of light!
For this light within you
produces only what is good and right and true. Carefully determine what pleases the Lord.
Ephesians 5:8-10 NLT
For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
The Lord gives grace and glory;
No good thing does He withhold
from those who walk uprightly.
Psalm 84:11 NASB
May Your holy Light
penetrate the hearts
of all who walk in darkness…
From the rising of the sun
to the place where it sets,
may Your Name
be eternally praised (Ps. 133:3)!
light our way through this present darkness;
clearly reveal the paths You desire us to take…
Thank You for encouraging us as You share the times and the seasons
and the reasons
that the sun will become dark
and the moon appear as blood
before the great and awesome Day of the LORD (Joel 2:31).
May people be awakened
by an unrelenting desire to know You
as their Father, Savior, Friend...
May we have no alliance
with the works of darkness,
living always as children of light
(1 Thess. 5:5)…
And there will be signs in the sun,
in the moon,
and in the stars;
and on the earth
distress of nations,
with perplexity,
the sea and the waves roaring;
men's hearts failing them
from fear and the expectation
of those things which are coming
on the earth,
for the powers of the heavens
will be shaken.
(read it for yourself!)
Luke 21:25-26 NKJV
But we're part of the overall plan!
Jesus said,
"Go ye therefore, and teach
all nations,
baptizing them
in the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you always,
even unto the end of the world."
Matthew 28:19-20 KJV
So let's do this!
For our King and His Kingdom -
every breath for His honor
and glory and praise!

2015 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.
Here's an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 11,000 times in 2015. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Be sure to visit IGN Tech for all the latest comprehensive reviews and best-of roundups. Note that if you click on one of these links to buy the product, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.
After producing detailed evaluations of all the popular streaming boxes on the market, we have determined the best 4K streaming device is the Nvidia TV Shield (See it on Amazon). It's more expensive than most of the other 4K boxes out there, but it's worth it. It has support for all the major streaming platforms (except iTunes ), and even lets Nvidia GPU owners seamlessly stream games to their TV. Plus, with the brewing streaming war between Amazon, Google, and Apple, the Shield is a safe pick, as it remains an agnostic platform to stream whatever you want, with a much better interface than the similarly platform-neutral Roku Ultra.
Granted, picking one "best" 4K streaming device is a tough call since the world of streaming boxes is a tricky one to navigate. It really depends on your specific needs and use case There are competing ecosystems and services, varying video standards, a wide range of hardware, and various ways in which people consume TV and movies. Additionally, all of the streaming boxes we've tested are good at doing certain things, and there's only a small amount of overlap between them. For example if your media is all on iTunes, you probably wouldn't buy a Roku.
Still, we've rounded up the top 4K streaming devices and tested all of them vigorously. It was hard work watching all those movies and TV shows, but we like to go the extra mile for you. Let's get into it:
TL;DR – These are the Best 4K Streaming Boxes:
The Best 4K Streaming Device – Nvidia Shield TV
Nvidia's Shield TV (read our review) is expensive for a streaming box, but it's easily the best Android TV box on the market, and it's also the best 4K streaming box in general due to its power, expansive platform support, and awesome features. It supports a ton of content including all of the Google's channels, and it even doubles as a Chromecast so you can stream to your TV from your phone or tablet. In addition to YouTube it also supports Amazon Video, Netflix, Vudu, Kodi, Spotify, and more. Plus, If you've got an Nvidia GPU you can also stream games to your TV at 60fps, and also play Android games too. The Google Assistant is half-baked, but otherwise this is a very powerful and flexible platform, especially for PC gamers. If you're not a PC Gamer, or and are highly price conscious, consider some of the options below.
The Best 4K Streaming From Your Phone – Chromecast Ultra
If you're the type of person who just wants to sit on your couch, phone in hand, and cast movies and TV shows to your big screen, the Chromecast Ultra (read our review) is your best 4K streaming option. There's no remote, no TV interface, and no hoops to jump through. Just pull up some content on your phone, and cast it to your TV. Thew new Ultra version adds support for 4k content and HDR, so if you have a 4K TV it's the one to get. You can connect to your network over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and all you need is the Google Home app to get started. You can stream from networks like ABC, CBS, FOX, and HBO, to streaming services like Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube. You'll be able to beam straight from their apps to the Chromecast Ultra whether you have an iPhone or Android phone. A lot of music services support it too, including Spotify, Deezer, Pandora, and Google Play Music. The only major exceptions are Apple Music, and all of Amazon's Prime Video.
The Best 4K Streaming Box for Apple Households – Apple TV 4K
This is the most (read our review) obvious pick of the bunch, because clearly if you're all-in with the iPhone, iPad, Macbook, and iTunes you're going to want the Apple TV. The newest version supports 4k content and both HDR10 and Dolby Vision HDR formats. It also supports Dolby Digital surround sound up to 7.1, but not the latest Dolby Atmos standard. You can enjoy content from iTunes and apps like Netflix and Hulu, and its Siri remote makes finding things to watch relatively easy despite its controversial design.
The Best Choice for 4K TV Shows – Amazon Fire TV
We'd be remiss if we didn't mention Amazon's newest Fire TV (read our review), as it's a completely respectable option, and at just $69 it's a great value. The only issue is it doesn't support iTunes or Vudu, which have large repositories of 4K movies. But you can access Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, HBO, SHOWTIME, STARZ, and lots more, and its Alexa-powered remote works very well for a wide range of tasks. Overall it's better suited specifically to 4K TV shows since it doesn't hook into iTunes or Vudu, but if that's your jam, look no further.
The Best 4K Streaming Box Shaped Like a Box – Fire TV Cube
All joking aside, the Fire TV Cube (read our review) is a great 4K streaming device combining the best features of the Fire TV with the functionality and convenience of Amazon's line of Echo products. Not only is it a competent streaming device, it's also a smart home device you link to Alexa-enabled devices around your home. It's a nice little two-for-one device, and can even control IR devices like a stereo receiver or TV.
Another Great 4K Streaming Device – Roku Ultra
The newest Roku box/remote combo, the Roku Ultra (read our review) is a sweet deal because it has support for 4k HDR content, lets you access most of the major content providers, and only costs around $75. This means it's affordable and flexible, which is what really counts for most people. With this little box you can access Netflix, Amazon Video, Vudu, Hulu, Sling, HBO Now, and PBS kids, so the only major exception is iTunes. Its interface looks and feels very outdated though, and it's remote can be a hassle, but it is still effective and easy to use. Also, one big plus is that it doesn't have any bias to its search results, unlike the Amazon Fire TV or Apple TV.

STEVE CABOT - Steve is a founding member of Phil Dirt & The Dozers. A captivating performer, Steve has a wonderful stage presence and an amazing voice. He has an uncanny ability to emulate the vocal styles of many of the most beloved musical artists, such as Roy Orbison, the Beach Boys, Frankie Vali and many more. Musically versatile, Steve also plays guitar, percussion and keyboards in the show.
MARK FRYE - Mark joined the Dozers in 1983. A talented and multidimensional musician, Mark plays keyboards, saxophone, flute and bass guitar as well as contributing vocal harmonies. Mark has extensive experience in other facets of the music business including arranging, engineering, production, and composition. Mark has earned two "Emmy" awards for his original music soundtracks created for Jack Hanna's Wildlife documentaries. He has also created many successful advertising jingles and custom music for countless corporate campaigns. Mark was signed to VIRGIN records in 1996 and released "Jack Hanna's World" CD worldwide.
TONY ALFANO - Tony joined the Dozer organization in 1993 as a veteran singer/guitar player for many great bands . . . including that of the U. S. Army Band. And, to put it mildly, he has been a whirlwind of enthusiasm ever since he arrived. An avid Beach Boys fan as well as a true lover of Oldies and Classic Rock, Tony has had the wonderful opportunity to perform on stage with such groups as The Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, The Temptations, JJ Jackson, plus many others. A born and raised New York native, Tony brings heart-felt emotion and superb presentation to each and every song he performs. He has reawakened the pure and heartfelt love for that special music that first inspired the Dozers to become full-time musicians!
HADDEN SAYERS - Hadden joined in the spring of 2006. Born in Nacogdoches, Texas, and raised in Sugar Land, Texas, Hadden began playing the guitar as a teenager and was immersed in live music while earning a journalism degree at Texas A&M University. After all-night jam sessions and performances with blues and Texas music legends Gatemouth Brown, Joe Ely, Omar and the Howlers, Eric Johnson and other musicians of different genres, Hadden moved to Austin, Texas where he began his "blues internship" with legendary bluesman BB King and his rhythm section "Silent Partners." Shortly thereafter he joined bluesman Lucky Peterson's touring band and spent time learning the finer points of keeping a juke joint band on the road.
After his stint with Lucky Peterson, Hadden returned to Houston, Texas to concentrate on writing songs. It was there he began a three year association with regional sensation Miss Molly and the Whips, making his recording and songwriting debut on her first two releases: "Miss Molly" (EFM 1992) and "In the Garden" (EFM 1993).
Hadden began work on his own album in late 1993 and the Hadden Sayers Band was born. After releasing five CDs and touring the United States and all over the world including Canada, Spain, France, Denmark, Holland, and Russia, Hadden moved to Columbus, Ohio in 2005 with his wife, a genetic researcher and university professor.
You can catch Hadden downhill skiing, riding his motorcycles, and enjoying classic cars and anything Tex Mex!
CHRIS GUTHRIE - Chris is the newest ( and youngest) member of the Dozers. A graduate of Capital University, Chris Guthrie has spent the last 12 years building a reputation as being one of the top drummers in central Ohio. From jazz to rock, and everything in between, he loves to just sit down and have fun behind the drums. He has traveled the world playing at the Montreux and Umbria Jazz Festivals, and playing in other locales in Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia. After spending time abroad, Chris returned to central Ohio, and began playing with many well known artists such as The Hoodoo Soul Band, The Floorwalkers, and Strutterfly to name a few. Chris is honored to be sharing the stage with the other guys in Phil Dirt and The Dozers and just loves the FUN! Chris enjoys all types of music from Jazz, latin, funk..... and even oldies with Phil and the boys! He is an old soul and a wonderful addition to our family.
and finally...
PHIL DIRT - In 1981 on a cold, lonely night, in a dark and smoke-filled bar room... Phil Dirt was born. Those lucky enough to be present probably had no idea that this single event would have such a wonderful long-term impact on so many people. Who would have guessed that in just a few short years Phil Dirt and the Dozers would have traveled the continent performing to thousands of fans... have several albums to their credit... appear on local and national television including their own TV show... and be the focus of hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles! True, Phil Dirt is a figment of our imagination who exists only in our hearts but he HAS become an essential part of Americana: a nostalgic link to our past who continues to remind us of those great times we once shared. And like an old family friend, Phil will continue to live on in our hearts for many, many years to come.
Emeritus Band Members:
Bill Lehr - Bill Lehr, a founding member of the band, was significantly responsible for the success of Phil Dirt and the Dozers today.
His presence on and off the stage is well respected to this day. He fronted the band from 1981 until his retirement in 1998. Bill is a very talented and brilliant entertainer.
Mark Milligan- The Dozers original keyboardist, Mark was a part of the band from 1981 to 1983. After leaving the Dozers, he had a very successful career as a Bank executive. Mark is a happy and talented fellow who was a delight with whom to share the stage.
Bill Lefavor - Bill was an original member along with Steve, Bill, Howard, and Mark Milligan. He was lead guitarist and vocalist from 1981-1983 and had a great rockin' energy onstage. A successful entrepreneur, His now resides in Raleigh N.C.
In Memoriam:
Rick Frye – Like younger brother Mark, Rick joined the band in 1983 and immediately made an important contribution to the Dozer sound. A seasoned professional, Rick's extensive knowledge of 50's and 60's musical heritage was showcased in a way that fans came to know and love. A low key, mellow guy until he got on stage, his exuberance on the drums was controlled only by the fact that he had to sit to perform! Rick's dry wit at the most unexpected moments during the show was loved and expected by everyone and became a favorite show stopper. Adding great vocals to Chuck Berry, John Lennon and Little Richard numbers, Rick was an extremely talented musician and drummer and was a tremendous asset for 24 years to Phil Dirt & The Dozers. Rick passed away unexpectedly on January 5, 2007 immediately following a performance in Williamsburg, Virginia. He will forever be remembered in our hearts and in our music.
Craig Goodwin – Craig was a great friend and wonderful musician and a part of the Phil Dirt family from 2002 until his death in 2013. He was a generous and kind soul with tons of talent....we miss him at every show.
Howard Kandel – Howard was the original bassist for the band and played with the original guys from the 1960's until his death at age 53 in 1997. We will always miss his humor, friendship and great contributions to Phil Dirt and the Dozers.

INITIAL LIGHT BULB Ultrasound expert Bill Barnard came up with a new scanner that's easier for medical professionals to use and less invasive for patients. He teamed up with David Shine and Dr. Bill Quirk to launch dBMEDx.
"Bill had worked for many years on a device that would detect the volume of a patient's bladder," says Shine. Barnard's "creative architecture" became the linchpin of dBMEDx's hand-held ultrasound technology.
Shine serves as the CEO of dBMEDx while Barnard is the Seattle-based CTO, and Quirk functions as the company's chief medical officer.
IN A NUTSHELL dBMEDx is making user-friendly, mobile ultrasound scanners that will first be used for bladder scans and then transitioned into a wide range of diagnostic applications.
"I use ultrasound every day," says Quirk, a physician at Porter Adventist Hospital in Denver and one of the original investors in iTriage. "In my world, ultrasound is operator-dependent" – meaning only doctors are qualified and cleared to use it.
This isn't the case with dBMEDx's scanners, which can be used by technicians and emergency responders. "We want to make it operator-independent," says Quirk. "You don't have to have M.D. or Ph.D. after your name to use it."
Echoes Shine: "That's the power of this thing – it requires very little training and very little expertise."
More power comes in a seamless interface with iPads and other devices, resulting in significant improvements in productivity and efficiency, not to mention medical efficacy.
With user-friendliness comes better treatment, as ambulance drivers are able to provide diagnostic data while en route to the hospital. "That data point gets beamed to the hospital," says Quirk, for better and earlier diagnoses and treatment, reducing the length of hospital stays and medical costs in the process.
"The less time you spend in the hospital, the better," says Quirk.
THE MARKET The company is targeting the country's 7,000 hospitals and 48,000 ambulances with a variety of applications in mind. Bladder ultrasound is "a big market – $150 million a year," says Quirk. But dBMEDx is ultimately eying a broader medical market, he adds. "This scanner can be reconfigured to do a number of different measurements. Sepsis is a biggie." Sepsis, or an overwhelming infection, is more easily and less expensively treated earlier.
The veterinary market is also promising for dBMEDx, as ultrasound often requires general anesthesia for the animal, Quirk adds, noting that vets familiar with dBMEDx are enthusiastic about the technology's potential.
FINANCING After an initial seed round of $350,000 in September 2012, dBMEDx raised a second round of $1.1 million in April 2013. The first round "was to go from concept to prototype," says Quirk. "This takes us from prototype to commercialization."

Right now, an indefinable entity has blocked my thoughts; something inexplicable that no words can describe it. I try to grasp its existence; its heaviness fills me with wariness. It drives me insane. After a few moments, I came to realize that it doesn't really obstruct my thoughts, per se, because I am still able to write and type from my head. This mental block hinders more than it inhibits me from producing something worthwhile to read. It makes it difficult to release my creativity as it tries to stop me from doing what I do best.
From this point on, I will do my best not to succumb to this fear. I do not want to show up next time without a well-made output or present a product made out of force. But that is the issue. How can I create routinely something when writing motivation and inspiration often come out spontaneously? I am doing it right now – I write without a rigid and specific cause or aim. Just write. No thoughts pulled back. No ideas to be disturbed. Every single word is flowing out as I write this draft. I picture a thread of words being spindled into refinery. These golden thoughts will shine in the sun with its radiance reflected and cast upon the reader's eyes.
If I give in to perfection, there will be no room for creativity as everything becomes contrived, confined and inhibited. A breath of fresh air is all I need! Move, move, MOVE! Push that critic past the cliff and let him fall without regard into oblivion. Break his soul sucking incantation before he breaks me down. Ride those imaginary wheels and fly into the skies, wind brushing past my face and hair. I am enjoying this ride while regurgitating this mental asphyxiation.
But then… halt! I thought I finally got rid of it! I hushed it out, didn't I? But here it comes again peeping and booing like a phantom in the night. Punch it in the face! Consciously empower myself to defeat it! These monsters in my head are there because I am facing a new level of discomfort. Why can't these thoughts let me act the way I do? I certainly won't lie in bed again and make it as an excuse. I cannot think anything, right? Why not attack it? Have I noticed that I made it to the fourth paragraph? What is this inner critic still babbling about?
I hope I learned my lesson. It is hard and unnerving when I try to grasp what is supposed to be the right words or the right style. Although it seems counterintuitive, it helps to write without limits. Great things happen without victimizing one's self from an obviously temporary slump (in my case, I need little doses of neuroses). I must take that first step, and immediately follow it with one more, slowly but surely. Then, I can go places – without aim or direction, yet enamored by action, movement, and sudden development.
