Diabetes and Dietary Supplementation
Diabetes is a serious threat to the health of Americans. According to the latest report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 24 million people in the United Stated have diabetes. There are three types of diabetes: type 1 (insulin dependent); type 2 (non-insulin dependent); and gestational diabetes, which can occur during pregnancy. This disease is characterized by high levels of blood glucose due to defects in insulin production, insulin action, or both. Diet is a major treatment modality for managing diabetes and its associated symptoms. Several dietary supplements have been demonstrated to help maintain blood glucose levels within the normal range, as well as to help in alleviation of associated symptoms.
Insulin resistance refers to the condition of the muscle cells, fat cells and liver cells not properly responding to insulin. Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas that signals these cells to remove glucose from the blood. At the onset of the resistance, the pancreas can adjust and secrete more insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal. However, as the resistance becomes greater, enough insulin cannot be produced to compensate, and type 2 diabetes develops. Certain nutrients have shown promise in helping enhance the cells' sensitivity to insulin. Banaba leaf, gymnema, bitter melon, nopal, chromium, vanadium and cinnamon all help in maintaining normal blood glucose levels.
Starchy carbohydrates are the most important source of calories in our diets. Starches are long chains of glucose and are provided in staple foods such as breads, pastas and cereals. In order for starches to provide energy to the body, they must be digested into small enough particles to be absorbed. The majority of this process occurs in the small intestine by the action of an enzyme called alpha-amylase. Certain ingredients can greatly interfere with this process, including a white kidney bean extract that inhibits the activity of alpha-amylase. Psyllium contains a high amount of water-soluble fiber that swells in the digestive tract and slows the emptying of foods from the stomach, reduces surface area on foods that enzymes need to act on, and can create somewhat of a barrier between the gut wall and glucose molecules to reduce absorption. These dietary supplements need to be taken with meals to be effective. They are most effective with meals containing starches; psyllium is useful with any carbohydrate-containing meals. The end result of either dietary supplement is a slowed or reduced release of sugars into the blood, as well as a reduced surge of insulin.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is probably best-known as the "universal antioxidant." It is soluble in both water and fat, which allows it to exert its protective actions on virtually everytissue in the body. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) has been used outside the U.S. as an approved drug therapy for diabetic neuropathies since 1959. Studies have shown that ALA can significantly reduce symptoms associated with diabetic neuropathies such as severe pain, weakness, burning and touch pressure. Some evidence also suggests that ALA may mimic insulin and signal cells to take in glucose from the blood.
Diabetes can develop as a result of genetic, environmental and/or auto-immune factors. We have the most control over the environmental factors. Recent epidemiological studies have made a connection between regions that receive less ultraviolet radiation (our primary source of vitamin D) and the increased incidence of type 2 diabetes in populations living there. It has also been observed that daily supplementation of vitamin D in infants during the first year of life is associated with a reduced incidence of type 1 diabetes later in life. Supplementing with Vitamin D3 daily may be warranted for those concerned with developing diabetes.

BY Laura Crafton IN Agency Life
How did you become interested in advertising/PR/media/public affairs/marketing? How did you break into the industry and land your first job?
A college counselor sat down with me and we discussed my interests. She suggested I get into communications – I haven't looked back since!
I actually took a post-grad internship in NYC in 2011. I worked for a public relations agency focusing on state and country tourism. It was an incredible experience! After I ran out of money, I found my way back in Indy and applied for communications positions.
What would you consider the specializations/most important tools of the trade?
Being able to easily talk with people. I always tell people I could talk to brick wall if I was asked to. It's important for any account lead to be able to easily sit down at lunch with a client. If you can't do this, it's going to feel like a big uphill battle.
What characteristics do you need to be successful in the industry?
Again, good communication skills are key. I find I'm asking my clients what is happening in their lives at the beginning, sometimes in the middle and definitely at the end of most meetings. Everyone has lives outside of work and, as an agency partner, we should recognize that and learn more about everyone we meet.
It's also important to understand how you can help clients think strategically about their business plans and their marketing plans. These two things should align. If they don't, we should be asking them why.
Do you have any interesting hobbies/second jobs/bits of information that make you pop as an individual?
I play sand volleyball every summer. It's a huge passion of mine. I also read a lot and am in a book club, which meets every month. I started it with a group of friends from my last job – now over six years in the making!
When and where do you have your best ideas?
In meetings, during good discussions with teammates and clients. It's always so helpful to get others' perspectives, which usually lead to new ideas.
What has been the most exciting project/campaign that you've worked on at Hirons?
One of the most exciting campaigns I've worked on is one of my first at Hirons. I started working on a new brand campaign for First Merchants Bank. The team was interested in building a campaign focused on the entire company and its offerings. Our team built a number of creative options, the client picked one, and we've been executing advertising based on this for almost two years now! What's more exciting is the growth of the bank has been exponential since 2017.
Why is effective advertising/PR so important for the growth and success of organizations?
Organizations are in constant competition. Even if there isn't a direct competitor currently in their space, there will be at some point, and a strong brand is important. A combination of advertising and PR efforts is crucial to grab the attention of your target audiences and hold onto your customers once you have them.
What's one important tip you would share with anyone looking to go into the agency world?
Get ready to work. It's not a joke that agency life is a hustle. We work hard and rarely slow down. If you're ready to tackle some exciting work and have your days fly by, this is the place for you!
What is the most meaningful part of your job?
Working with my team is the most meaningful part of my job. I come to work for the people. They are what motivates me most.

How Family Influenced My Decision to Pursue Medicine
With no more than some wrinkled Burmese currency in her pocket, my mother was buried under a mounting column of distress and helplessness. As an immigrant from a small village in Myanmar, she struggled to find a financial foothold beyond the laborious, fruitless work of a busgirl. Despite our economic burdens, however, my mother was still able to instill within me the sense of fulfillment in giving back to the underserved community through her own actions. Serving the underprivileged with a grateful heart became the backbone of my childhood as I volunteered every week to prepare and provide free meals to those less fortunate than myself. My experiences with assisting the impoverished provided the foundation for who I am today, igniting my passion in giving back to communities I am a part of and to those who need it most.
Recent years and events have only cemented my ambitions. I recall a deafening silence as my parents exchanged glances with one another and myself as if they could not speak. After what seemed like an eternity, I locked eyes with my father, only to see a trail of tears trickling down his face. I remember the words with a pronounced vividness, "Your mother has breast cancer". An endless surge of harrowing thoughts flowed through my mind as images of my aunt on her deathbed, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer, battered my mind. The despair worsened as I thought about my other aunt, who passed away earlier, and her bleak battle with breast cancer.
Times were undoubtedly difficult and chaotic, but at least one thing was made clear – giving up on my mother was not an option. This opportunity called forth the authentic compassion that I had been exerting all of my life, except now, there was a lot more at stake. While learning to adjust to the newly imposed rigors of college, I had incurred a new set of both financial and familial responsibilities. As a result of this event, I took it upon myself to learn more about my mother's condition.
Because my mother could not speak fluent English and my father was constantly working to combat the recurring, expensive costs of treatment, I had to commute multiple times on a weekly basis from Riverside to Los Angeles in order to take my mother to her radiation treatments and appointments. Being a translator granted me an active role as my mother's caretaker and imparted extensive understanding of the patient's perspective in healthcare. But this was not enough. While these displays of support were sincere and heartfelt, they were not as practical as I would have hoped in dealing with the consequences of her prognosis.
In the midst of my undergraduate career, I decided that the best way to better understand my mother's condition was to explore careers in healthcare. The Clinical Care Extender Internship Program provided exposure to a variety of team-oriented roles that were integral in delivering effective healthcare. The patient-focused care given to the underserved by the faculty at the Riverside Community Hospital inspired me and further affirmed my desire to combat health disparities amongst the underprivileged. Additionally, to support my family financially and become more well-versed in the plights of breast cancer patients, I specifically took on a job as a medical scribe for Dr. Coleman, a breast cancer surgeon whom I still work with to date. It was at this point that I realized what I wanted to do.
Seeing Dr. Coleman instill a long-lost sense of positivity in distraught patients that come into her office resonates with me because I see a bit of my mother in those patients. The way in which she delivers gentle, empathetic, and thorough care, whether it be through emotional support or pragmatic advice has allowed me to see a bit of myself in the role of a healthcare provider. Thus, this experience has not only taught me more about breast cancer, but has given me insight into a career where I could passionately instill the core values I acquired during my upbringing. But wanting is one thing, taking initiative is another.
Therefore, the reason why I decide to pursue medicine is to hopefully one day deliver empathetic and compassionate care to the underserved. Although my mother's breast cancer and the resultant challenges were trying, they provided a source of inspiration for me to pursue the opportunities that allowed me to become a better caretaker while crystallizing my ambitions for the future. My mother stands today cancer-free, and this more than anything convinces me that if I take initiative in something I am passionate in, I can achieve the results that I hope for. Thus, I will impart the knowledge and experiences I need to fulfill my goal of becoming an effective physician who caters to those who are underserved, much like my own mother.
About the author:
My name is Sandra Wong. I am a Breast Cancer, oncology and endocrine medical scribe in Orange County, California. I graduated UCR in psychology and am planning on pursuing my double master's degree in biomedical sciences and medicine. I aspire to become an Internal medicine physician and be a voice for Women empowerment in the underserved community. Also, I enjoy fitness, working out doing exercises ranging from Muay Thai to Cardio Kickboxing. Exercise has become my outlet for relaxation and it keeps not only my physical form healthy, more importantly, it keeps the mind emotionally strong.

For all the hype in the cryptocurrency space, the technology is still relatively nascent. When asked about the prevalence of cryptocurrency usage in Singapore, Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam cited data from Coin Republic which estimated that only around 20% of Singaporean retailers accept bitcoin. Usage of cryptocurrencies for payments and even trading for speculative purposes were also considered as significantly behind than countries like US, Japan and Hong Kong. (MAS, 2017).
I had the pleasure of speaking with Mr Steven Goh; founder of NuMoney, to learn about the gap in the cryptocurrency industry and how these gaps can be plugged.
A graduate from NUS (Computer Science) he worked with his team of experienced programmers/ problem solvers to create software solutions such as GOM VPN (300k active users), Javelin Browser (1M downloads) and Picturemate (110k active users). With the experience, contacts and resources gained from these forays, they then founded NuMoney to address the gaps that they saw in the financial transactions and cryptocurrency market.
Today, NuMoney is a leading cryptocurrency Over-The-Counter (OTC) service with operations in Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia that allows users to trade cryptocurrencies with physical cash. Soon they will also launch the "NuMoney Exchange" which will enable users to be instantly verified and trade both major and alternate coins using FIAT currencies which can be deposited and withdrawn via NuMoney's physical stores.
Gaps identified
Mr Goh feels that cryptocurrencies can immensely improve efficiency in the finance industry, especially cross-border transactions. Today an Overseas Fund Transfer via POSB takes 2-4 working days and if DBS Remit is used, same day transfers are possible if the transaction is done within a cut-off time (POSB, 2017). In contrast, cryptocurrencies can be transferred across borders within a matter of seconds, regardless of the time of day.
While cryptocurrencies have much to offer to the financial landscape, the technology is still relatively nascent and largely reliant on traditional banks as a medium to conduct business. However the banking system has yet to establish a clear strategy to co-exist with cryptocurrencies and thus may not be the most reliable partner. As a testament to this, around ten cryptocurrency firms saw their accounts closed by Singaporean banks last year (The Straits Times, 2017). 2 months after being founded, NuMoney was also forced to take a hiatus due to bank account closure and issues with their liquidity providers who did not seem to appreciate their high-volume, rapid movement of cash, especially given that they are a cryptocurrency start-up.
The NuMoney Solution
To eliminate reliance on banks, Mr Goh sought to build an OTC exchange which can sustain liquidity through its own operations, in itself becoming a bank. To do this, transactions would have to be conducted through physical cash and since an office cannot possibly store a substantial level of funds, NuMoney uses Cash Vaults from which clients can make deposits and withdrawals. In this way, funds can be transferred regardless of the banks' stance on cryptocurrencies.
To pump in additional liquidity, he has positioned NuMoney as an international hub for cryptocurrency trading and has been working hard to attract and pool buy and sell orders from both local and international cryptocurrency investors. Having a hub here in Singapore is particularly attractive to foreign investors since Singapore does not subject capital gains from disposal of virtual currencies to capital gains taxes (IRAS, 2017). By concentrating trading activity within NuMoney, they are able to achieve enough scale to operate without relying on an external liquidity provider.
Moving forward, NuMoney will be expanding beyond its current OTC services and will be building an international exchange to allow FIAT currency to cycle within an exchange without having to cross-borders, thereby removing the need for a banking intermediary. The NuMoney exchange will combine the best aspects of leading exchanges; the ability to fund an account and purchase cryptocurrencies with FIAT currencies as seen in Gemini, access to a plethora of alt-coin pairs as seen in Binance and physical customer care locations as seen in Bithump.
Managing challenges
As with many other start-ups, Mr Goh feels that manpower determines the success of a company. When NuMoney first started, it was common for relatively fresh hires to be entrusted with large sums of money as there was simply no alternative given their small team. Therefore he stresses that while NuMoney, as with most SMEs, could always use more people to expand marketing efforts and widen their lead over their competitors, it is more important to select the right people who are committed to the job and are aligned with the company's vision. This is exceptionally important for NuMoney as they have to sustain constant rapid growth and cannot afford the time-cost of training half-hearted staff. Beyond selectivity in hiring, retention is also important and thus he ensures that all staff work in a supportive work environment built on mutual-respect. With no change to hiring curbs in the Budget 2018, managing manpower to sustain growth will be especially important as Singaporean businesses continue to face tech manpower shortage (The Business Times, 2018)
Additionally, Mr Goh feels that a targeted marketing strategy is crucial for rapid growth. While it may be tempting to go into every possible advertising channel, he feels that such a vague strategy might yield little results given the lack of control and monitoring. Instead he opts for a more focused approach of selecting 1-2 channels and setting clear objectives to analyse growth and fulfilment of objectives. In this way, his marketing team is able to measure the success of different channels and concentrate their efforts on what works best. As said by Becca Wilson CEO of Sphrexx, an advertising agency providing business intelligence, "You can't manage what you can't measure" (Forbes, 2017).
Currently regulations do not adversely impact NuMoney, but to hedge against the risk of a new unfavourable policy being passed in any of the countries that NuMoney is operating in, he is trying to expand NuMoney into as many markets as possible. In expanding beyond Singapore, he has worked with many of his major-customers who have substantial resources in overseas markets and are able to help with navigating the unfamiliar regulatory environment. In this way, NuMoney has been able to set up their overseas operations in minimal time.
Call to Singaporean companies
When dealing with new technologies like blockchain and cryptocurrencies, there are bound to be challenges especially when engaging with the traditional incumbents. Therefore start-ups need to follow NuMoney's example and constantly plan for their next phase of growth and hedge against adverse changes from external factors. Looking ahead, Singapore needs to foster a greater collaborative ecosystem to drive growth and already we are seeing some encouraging signs. An article written by the Fintech Leader and Director of PwC Singapore wrote that "most now agree that fintech in Singapore is much less of a fight between incumbents and new fintech entrants, but more of a 'fourth industrial revolution' that calls for broad collaboration" (The Business Times, 2018). As we approach the fourth industrial revolution, we urgently need to come together.

Our travel safety update for June examines political tensions, environmental activism and weather patterns. Elections are also taking place in different parts of the world.
Meanwhile, at the start of June, the holy month of Ramadan draws to a close.
While summer is officially underway in the Northern Hemisphere, June also marks the beginning of hurricane and monsoon seasons in different parts of the world.
Please also register with our site and upload comments on locations that you know. The more everyone contributes, the more we will all benefit from one another's insight.
Sri Lanka safety concerns
Inter-communal tensions continue to fester in Sri Lanka in the aftermath of the deadly Easter bombings conducted by radical Islamist terrorists.
Minority rights appear to have been eroded. This in turn will increase the likelihood of sporadic violence and discrimination, particularly against the Muslim community. This in turn will raise the risk of disaffected Muslims becoming more sympathetic towards to the notion of radical jihadism.
With tensions rising, the tourist sector will remain hampered. This will push up unemployment and contribute to a greater atmosphere of frustration and anger in the country.
Guatemala elections
National elections are being held in Guatemala on 16th June. The country has been facing constitutional tensions for months. One senior candidate has even been arrested on major corruption charges and banned from participating.
Tensions are high with a risk of violence surrounding the event. If you are a media worker travelling to cover the event the Committee to Protect Journalists has released a safety kit in English and Spanish. You can access it here.
India domination
As widely anticipated, Narendra Modi dominated national elections in India. As a result, we can expect policy continuity for the country. At the same time, identity politics remain a strong driver in electoral trends. The dynastic appeal of the Congress party has also waned to perhaps its lowest level in the country's history.
Greek election
Snap elections have been called for late June in Greece. However, the latest reports indicate that the polls might be pushed back to early July. Either way, it looks like voters will punish the ruling Syriza party after a poor showing in the May European elections.
Kazakhstan votes (but will it be fair?)
Kazakhstan will hold presidential elections on 9 June. Long-standing leader President Nazarbayev resigned unexpectedly in March. He has since anointed Kassym-Jomart Tokayev as his preferred replacement. It is now widely expected that the election will be rigged in his favour. The move has already caused a degree of rare unrest in the country, as covered by Reuters last month.
Mauritania election
Mauritania holds presidential elections on 22nd June. The country is voting for the successor of President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz who has governed the country for almost a decade. However, if no clear winner emerges from the poll, a runoff will take place in early July.
Denmark polls
Denmark will hold national elections on 5th June. While observers were initially expecting the ruling Liberal Party to be dethroned by the electorate, conditions have changed in recent days. As a result of an unexpected rallying of the party in the recent European elections, voter trends appear too fluid to make any bold predictions.
Drone interruption
At the beginning of the year we warned that various groups may attempt to use drones to interrupt air traffic. UK environmental group Extinction Rebellion is now threatening to target Heathrow Airport with drone interruption tactics in June. Subsequently, travellers should be prepared for possible disruption in the weeks ahead.
Our travel safety update for June also includes coverage of the weather. This month is usually a time of significant change. For the northern hemisphere, it normally signals the arrival of summer and higher temperatures. In contrast in the southern hemisphere, it marks the beginning of winter.
Wind and rain
For the Caribbean, June marks the beginning of the hurricane season, bringing an increased risk of damaging and deadly tropical storms which will last until November.
In south Asia, the month usually sees the beginning of the monsoon season, which will last until September or October.
Where to go
Popular travel destinations at this time include all of Europe. This is a good time to visit northern, normally colder regions, including Scandinavia and Russia. The wider Mediterranean region is also very popular. Southeast Asia as well as South and Central America are also good travel destinations at this time of year.
Standard Weather Changes
Bangladesh: the monsoon season normally begins this month and lasts until October.
Bhutan: the rainy season normally begins this month and lasts until August.
Congo: the rainy season normally ends this month.
Cote D'Ivoire: the hot and wet season normally begins this month and lasts until October.
Eritrea: the rainy season normally begins this month and lasts until September.
Ethiopia: the rainy season normally begins this month and lasts until August.
Gambia: the rainy season normally begins this month and lasts until November.
Guinea-Bissau: the rainy season normally begins this month and lasts until November.
India: the monsoon normally begins this month and lasts until September.
Japan: from June to December there is a higher risk of typhoon affecting the country.
Liberia: the rainy season normally begins this month and lasts until September.
Maldives: the rainy season normally begins this month and lasts until August.
Myanmar: the rainy monsoon season normally begins this month and lasts until September.
Philippines: from June to December there is a higher risk of typhoon affecting the country.
South Korea: from June to November there is a higher risk of typhoon affecting the country.
Sri Lanka: the southwest of the country experiences monsoon from this month until October.
Taiwan: the rainy season normally begins this month and lasts until August.
United States: while tornadoes can occur all year round, the peak season, which began in March, normally ends this month.

Roederer Estate
Terry Sullivan
In 1982 Jean-Claude Rouzaud established a vineyard on a 580-acre parcel near Philo in Mendocino County. Jean-Claude Rouzaud was the fifth generation descendant of the founder of Champagne Louis Roederer. Today, Frédéric Rouzaud, sixth generation, continues the family tradition of producing sparkling wines.
The Philo location is in the Anderson Valley AVA. Less than twenty miles from the Pacific Ocean, the vineyard experiences warm days and cool evenings. These ideal conditions are good for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the two varietal grapes grown onsite. In addition to this Mendocino County facility, the Roederer Group has facilities in France and Portugal.
From the parking area a pathway leads past landscaping to the tasting room. Behind the counter, windows overlook the landscaping and the vineyards. Visitors can enjoy tasting several sparkling wines.
Sparkling Wines
Roederer Estate uses the initials MV for multi-vintage rather than NV for non-vintage. They believe that the NV gives a negative impression to some whereas the MV is more positive.
The Brut MV had an aroma and taste of apples. The finish was fruity. Brut Rosé MV was a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It had a very light peach color and offered a burst of citrus. It dried on the finish. The Brut Rosé Magnum MV was the same as the Brut Rosé MV however bottled in a magnum 1.5 liter bottle. The different sized bottle influences the sparkling wine differently. The color was a light peach a bit darker than the Brut Rosé MV. The sparkling wine in the magnum had a creamier mouthfeel and offered a fruity crisp finish. The Extra Dry MV was a light yellow. The apple aroma and taste finish dry with a lingering apple aftertaste.
The 2002 L'Ermitage Brut was a vintage sparkling wine that had an apple aroma with an apple aand baked bread taste. Another vintage sparkling wine tasted was the 1996 L'Ermitage. The aroma was of caramel and green apples while the taste was citrus and green apple. It had a creamy mouthfeel and and fruity finish.
If you are interested in trying some sparkling wines stop by Roederer Estates.

Last Saturday night, Baalok and I ventured to Snowdonia, a cozy, trappist-style gastropub. Tucked away at the corner of 35th Avenue and 32nd Street, the neighborhood spot serves local craft beer and quality pub fare. Many of the signature dishes feature the beer selections on tap as ingredients
The atmosphere is immediately warm and inviting. Dining benches line the tables and soft industrial pendants add a nice glow. For an appetizer, we shared the Ploughman's Plate – a plate of ricotta cheese, house-made olive tapenade, pickled onions and pork spread. I'm not sure my palette is refined enough to have appreciated the pork. However, the fresh ricotta, juicy olive spread and perfectly pickled fat slices of onions were so good. I mean seriously good. Served on lightly buttered, grilled bread, the ingredients blended into a simple delight.
Baalok ordered another delight – the last steak-frites left for the night. Like many men, he has very high standards for steak. I've never heard him say a steak is good. He only mutters a doubtful, "It was okay," or grumbles about an overpriced dinner. BUT for the first time in our 3-year relationship, he said, "Wow. That steak is really, really good." (!!!) Really, really good means he loved that 16oz rib eye. Apparently, it was absolutely cooked to perfection – juicy and tender with just the right amount of seasoning. I don't even eat beef, but that meal looked downright mouthwatering.
On the other side of the table, I enjoyed a generous portion of mussels soaked in a beer broth. The P.E.I. mussels were equally satisfying – plump and tasty. We topped the night off with glasses of Peak Organic Fresh Cut Pilsner while "Superbad" played on the TVs above the bar (a nice change from the typical sportscast). We both left in a happy daze patting our swollen food bellies. The relaxed environment, great service and delicious food were right on point. We can't wait to go back.
Follow the Trappist Times for Snowdonia's food and drink specials and upcoming events. Another plus, they also serve brunch.

My mail box was bulging from all of the great mail art. Take a look everyone! Thanks for all the happy mail everyone!
Dan sent this beautiful photograph which is was constructed from two 4x5 negatives. His process is complex. He manually manipulates the film, paints the film and then builds the image digitally. Does it get more hands on than this? The color of this photograph is amazing and the details of the overlay are beautiful (roses). This scanned picture does not do the work justice! It is amazing Dan!
Suus in Mokem - Happy "Hallo" monster
Suus sent this delightful happy creature. The drawing is a wonderful pen and ink drawing with a colorwash (watercolor or ink wash). I love the graphic patterns and the friendly "Hallo"! This made my day Suus!
Alessandro Perini - "Peace" etching print
This is a beautiful print from Alessandro's peace series. He is exploring the subject of peace in all its forms. This was sent in June but just showed up early August...so glad it made it! Thanks Alessandro for sharing this. I loved the postcard you made and your hand painted stamp was awesome!
Susan McAllister - Sale Head Postie
A great ink postcard was sent from Susan. It is a cool surrealist graphic depiction of commercialism. I totally feel this person's headache! Great postie Susan!!!!
Jay Block - Artist stamps "Late Night TV"
Jay sent artist stamps from his pop-up postcard series. They are all titled late Night TV. They are an awesome homage to creature features! I love these Jay! Two words for future inspiration...."Killer Shrews".
Arac - "The information Age" Postie
Arac sent this hilarious information age postcard. The back of the card reminds me that the GE Computer Radio at 6am is smarter than I am. The sad truth, it could have left out "at 6am". Beware all, they've got all our numbers!
JannaK - Digital iPhone photograph
This is three photographs merged and altered with nothing but the iphone. Janna is a pilot and you can see her plane to the left juxtaposed with butterflies from the zoo. I love the cool vintage look and bright colors!

Eliminator 1, Bangalore
Last year, at this very stage, the third and fourth-placed teams from the group stages faced each other in the eliminator at Delhi. This year, at Bangalore, the same teams will battle it out for a place in the second eliminator against the loser of the Mumbai Indians v/s Rising Pune Supergiant match. David Warner's Sunrisers and Gautam Gambhir's Knight Riders have been consistently in the top four. At one point, both were favorites to reach the top two, until Pune made a late run at it.
The defending champions will take on the two-time champs. The Knight Riders will want to avenge last year's 23 run defeat that dumped them out of the tournament. They have blown hot and cold this year, but have perhaps been the most innovative team of the tournament.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (Played 14, Won 8, Lost 5, NR 1)
Last year, only a monstrous Virat Kohli had scored more runs than David Warner in a record-breaking season. However Warner had the last laugh and ended up as yet another Aussie captain winning the Indian T20 league. This year, Warner has led the run charts all through, and nobody has come close. Their lead bowler, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, has led the wicket-taking charts all through, with 25 wickets so far and one five-wicket haul. Given that the orange cap and purple cap lie with this team, not finishing in the top two (unlike Mumbai Indians, who barely have any top scorers or bowlers) has been a disappointment. Had they won the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, they would have been level with Pune on points, but ahead on their net run rate. They would have been the ones facing Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede a day earlier.
Instead, they find themselves now in a familiar position: having to win three matches in a row to win a consecutive T20 title. Only MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings have successfully defended their title, back in 2010 and 2011.
Warner should be considering including the calmness of Kane Williamson back at number 3 for the big game. He needs experience, and Williamson, Moises Henriques and Rashid Khan as his other three overseas players will give him that. Their batting has been thin in the middle as usual, but Shikhar Dhawan's form at the top has helped considerably. The two openers lead the charts this year.
Young Afghan spinner Rashid Khan has been a revelation this year. He remains the only bowler with an economy rate of less than seven, in addition to the 17 wickets he has taken. Siddharth Kaul has been another invaluable addition, with 16 wickets from nine games. He has consistently partnered Bhuvi at the death with a clutch of wickets. With three top bowlers, this team has stuck to tradition of being the best bowling team of the tournament. Once both the departments click, they are perhaps the most clinical team to watch – dismantling oppositions with the kind of flair that only one other team can boast of.
Kolkata Knight Riders (Played 14, Won 8, Lost 6)
From making Sunil Narine open the batting to discovering the devastating middle-over bowling potential of Chris Woakes, Gambhir has always been the most proactive captain around. He disbanded his own successful opening combination with Robin Uthappa and started the year with Chris Lynn at the top. The injury to him made Gambhir experiment a bit more; Sunil Narine became their Sanath Jayasuriya at the top, smashing unsuspecting bowlers with a poker face rather gracefully. But losing six matches will have riled Gambhir, who has seen his team taper off towards the end of the group stage for the second year in a row. Second spot was theirs for the taking, and it was only in the last week that the team fell to third and fourth.
Narine has scored the fastest fifty of the season, while Lynn has scored the second fastest. Gambhir at 3 and Uthappa at 4, along with the reliable Manish Pandey at 5, mean that this team boasts of probably the most potent batting lineup so far. Uthappa's form has fallen off after his injury that made him miss a few games. But he had a splendid first half, filling in for an injured Lynn with style and panache. Lynn needs Gambhir and him to both fire in this crucial game at the small Chinnaswamy stadium. Together they can wreck havoc, but will have to overcome a smart, wily bowling attack.
But it's their bowling that has been inconsistent, with Narine never hitting the form of five years ago. Meanwhile, Umesh Yadav has been fatigued after a brutal home test season, but has tried his best despite losing the plot somewhat in the slog overs. India will need him fitter for the Champions Trophy. Kuldeep Yadav has been inconsistent, but occasionally unplayable. Englishman Woakes has easily been their most effective bowler.
Warner all the way. The teams are evenly matched, and it'll come down to who does better on the day. Both of them are big-match teams too, but Sunrisers look a better rounded at the moment, if they get their team combination right.

Oslo-based Flex LNG, a specialist in latest-generation, large-capacity LNG carriers, has just launched its latest vessel, Flex Courageous, as the group sails into bumper profits from a buoyant short-term charter market.
Scheduled for delivery on 19 August 2019 from the Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering, the M-type vessel will be the group's sixth carrier in operation, with another eight under construction. The launch of the carrier, which was right on schedule, follows that of Flex Rainbow in July.
Like Flex Courageous, all these newbuilds will be equipped with slow-speed, two-stroke engines, either electronically controlled gas injection (MEGI) or X-dual fuel.
All built at South Korean shipyards, the next wave of vessels are due for delivery between 2020 and 2021 in the middle of what chief executive Oystein Kalleklev describes as a "tight LNG shipping market due to a combination of a large increase in liquefaction capacity in the near, medium and long term, limited fleet growth, increased tonne mileage, and increased focus on improving air quality [that] favours the ongoing switch from coal to natural gas."
Flex LNG is reaping the benefits of a decision to avoid long-term charters during the downturn. "Unlike the vast majority of other LNG shipping companies, we decided to strategically pursue shorter-term employment until the shipping market showed signs of rebalancing," said Mr Kalleklev in the report for Q3 2018. "The market has now rebalanced with current fixtures now being agreed at all-time high rates."
The wisdom of Flex LNG's strategy is showing up in a swathe of black ink. In Q3, the group posted revenues of US$19M, more than US$9M up on the corresponding quarter in 2017. That came on top of a doubling of revenues for the first nine months, up from last year's US$19.5M to more than US$41M.
Even better, earnings before interest tax and depreciation (EBITDA) in Q3 more than tripled while revenues for Q4 are expected to explode, up to US$35M.
Looking ahead, Flex LNG has already funded the newbuilds now under construction. The company raised US$300M during Q3 through a heavily oversubscribed private placement that demonstrates investors' faith in the LNG carrier industry. The group's current fleet is fully chartered.
An upbeat chief executive predicts the group "is very well positioned to reap the benefit of our strategy". This was shown by rosy predictions for the final quarter of 2018 but also by the continuing strong outlook for 2019.

What Are Sealants?
Sealants (pit and fissure sealants) are transparent resin coatings placed on molars that protect teeth from demineralization and decay. Sealants also defend teeth from decay, strengthening enamel and preventing food particles and bacteria from entering molar fissures. By smoothing the irregular surfaces of molars and making them less likely to attract and trap food particles, sealants significantly reduce the risk of molars from suffering cavities and decay.
The Sealant Procedure
Since tooth enamel is nerveless, patients do not experience any pain or discomfort during placement of a sealant. Before sealing molars, the dentist will examine your teeth to determine if any decay exists. If discovered, your dentist will remove decay, clean and dry the tooth. Next, a roughening solution is placed on the tooth to ensure sealing material adheres to the tooth properly. Finally, your dentist will "paint" the tooth with the sealant and let it sit for about one minute. Hardening of sealants is completed using a curing light that interacts chemically with the sealant's ingredients.
Caring For Your Sealants
Following placement of sealants, patients can eat just about anything they wish but should avoid hard candy, ice and other foods that could fracture sealants. Patients with sealants also need to visit their dentist every six months for cleanings, check-ups, and examination of sealants to determine if they are in place and preventing decay properly. Sealants that have been degraded due to simple wear and tear should be reapplied as needed.
The American Dental Association states that sealants are one of the most underutilized and beneficial dental procedures available. While fluoride helps reduce tooth decay, it cannot provide the kind of adequate protection against cavities that sealants do. To learn more about sealants, contact your dentist in Beavercreek, Ohio today.

I'm just tossing this out there for data points:
My toys:
MacBook Pro [Firewall ON, set to allow only specific apps, DVDPedia=allow]
iPhone 3G
2Wire wireless modem/router (The protagonist in our story) [Firewall ON, deny all unsolicited traffic to iPhone, allow only specified apps to MacBook (NO entry for the Pedias)]
When I first got the iPhone it sync'd my collection once and then failed every time after that. I tried adding ports to the Firewall, turning the Firewall off, everything I found mentioned in these forums and nothing worked.
Turns out, my iPhone was having problems maintaining a Wi-Fi signal. Surfing the web would work for a couple minutes and then I'd have to turn Wi-Fi off then on, and then I could get a couple more minutes of Wi-Fi activity, rinse and repeat.
iPhone worked fine at all other Wi-Fi locations I tested it at so I blamed my router. It was old, but I didn't think things like DHCP services or Firewalls were things that got old and tired, forgetful, etc. Nonetheless, I had my ISP send me a new router, a newer version of the 2Wire I had, and now Pocketpedia syncs fine every time. I still have Firewalls ON and clamped down with NO entries for Pocketpedia and it just works. (And I can surf the web with my iPhone until the battery runs out)
So ... no solutions or conclusions here, except to say that from my experience Mac OS X has certain desires when it comes to negotiating services from other devices, and sometimes those devices don't negotiate as quickly or in the specific way that Mac OS X wants them to.
... and that the iPhone is damn cool. And Pocketpedia rocks. (Sure, I kinda want to be able to make changes on the iPhone and have them sync back to my MBP, and be able to walk into a DVD shop and point the iPhone at barcodes, and ... but it's only 2008, Pocketpedia is free and less than a year old. I'm a happy camper.)

*UPDATE* 'The Colbert Report' Suddenly Suspends Taping For A Week For Reasons Unknown!!!by Bryan Kluger on Feb 16th, 2012
Hi Bryan Here….
If you're like me and you watch 'The Daily Show' and 'The Colbert Report' nightly, then yesterday you probably noticed a re-run of 'The Colbert Report'. Ticket holders for the show were notified and told that the show was suspended for the rest of the week due to "unforeseen circumstances". This is not something that happens hardly at all over at Comedy Central. The two times this has happened with 'The Daily Show' was once when John Stewart's baby was born, and the other time was the sudden death of a crew member. And even then, the show went on the next day and was not suspended for a week.
According to multiple sources connected with the show and outlets including HuffPost, Stephen Colbert's mother is seriously ill. The show will remain suspended until he can return. "Colbert was born the youngest of 11 children to mother Lorna, 91, and father James, who died in a plane accident in 1974 along with two of Colbert's brothers."
I sure do hope everything is alright over at the Colbert Report. Even Stephen Colbert's twitter feed which is usually always going, is unusually silent.
I hope it's just that he is actually running for president and nothing bad has happened. I will keep all of you updated as we get the news in.
Think good thoughts.

Office: D116 Research Innovation CenterOffice Phone: (970)491-2902Email: email@example.com
My laboratory uses a multi-disciplinary approach to drug development and the discovery of preclinical lead compounds with efficacy against priority A-C bacterial pathogens, in particular multi-drug resistant M. tuberculosis, F. tularensis, B. pseudomallei and Y. pestis, as well as medically important pathogens including S. pneumonia. Areas of research emphasis fall into the broad subjects of cell cycle regulation, bacterial differentiation, and host-pathogen interaction. These areas of interest are predicated on the idea that success of bacterial pathogens relies on their ability to adapt to the dynamic and complex environments encountered during infection and different stages of disease. The hypothesis is that the encountered conditions instigate changes in the bacteria that result in the development of specialized populations capable of evading host defenses and eliciting a drug tolerant phenotype. Importantly, in order for a drug to have efficacy it needs to target the unique and active metabolic activities of the pathogen that are occurring during infection and at different states of disease.
It is clear from the culmination of the studies ongoing in my laboratory that cell cycle progression and population differentiation relies on a choreographed series of metabolic changes and, contrary to current dogma, non-replicating persistence or latency is a continual active process. The physiology of the bacilli is heterogeneous and is the result of a complex regulatory network that allows this bacterium to adapt and cope with environmental stress without requiring extensive new macromolecular synthesis. Recognition of phenotypic adaptation in bacteria has led to the radical multicellular concept I refer to as Phenomic Potential, which is the principal that the bacterial chromosome encodes more functions than can be accommodated in any single cell at any given time, but through intricate regulatory control mechanisms individual cells can be "tailored" to diverse conditions leading to a selective advantage for the whole bacterial population.
Our studies have implicated a number of previously unknown regulatory elements that modulate gene expression, influence protein synthesis and modulate protein activity in establishing a persistent state with the ability to resume growth. Specifically, transcriptional, translational, non-translation and post-translational regulatory elements work in concert to rapidly modulate gene expression and adapt the protein repertoire in response to altered growth conditions.
Upon exposure to a pathogen, the host employs both the innate and acquired immune responses to combat infection and control dissemination. While the general features of the host response is known, the specific mechanisms employed to control dissemination of specific pathogens is limited. Accordingly, to obtain information about the host response and the different stages of disease and extent of dissemination to infection we are investigating the whole genome transcriptional response in the M. tuberculosis and F. tularensis animal models of infection.
These studies have provided information regarding the dynamics of the immune response at the molecular level and the role of dissemination in pathogenesis. Notably, these studies are not limited to the host response, they also include the bacterial response, thus allowing for a direct connection to be established between the host environment and bacterial metabolism.
Our hypothesis is that highly conserved essential proteins are good broad-spectrum targets for novel drug discovery against bacterial pathogens. Accordingly we have chosen to target conserved essential protein components of the bacterial type II fatty acid synthase pathway, cell division among others. Historically in vitro potency has little correlation to in vivo efficacy; that is many compounds are very active against whole bacteria, but lack efficacy in animal models of infection. The incorporation of pathogen physiology in the context of infection allows us to focus our development efforts to those pathways involved in pathogen survival at specific time of infection.
A significant limitation to development of new drugs against novel or underexploited targets is not having lead structural classes [with activity] as a starting point for the drug development process. We have addressed this in two ways; (1) to build on known pharmacophores with activity against proteins of similar structure and (2) to employ virtual screening to identify new structural classes of compounds that may be suitable for drug development using our compound library that totals more than 10 million structures, assembled from a variety of individual libraries.
It has been our experience that the information gained from screening many compounds for efficacy against in vivo challenge is indispensable for informing and driving the medicinal chemistry efforts. Thus, our screening strategy involves progressing compounds into animal models of infection as rapidly as possible. The most potent compounds are then progressed into more advanced studies with the animal model of infection. This process results in the identification of compounds with in vitro potency, in vivo efficacy and the appropriate physiochemical properties including toxicity and deliverability for preclinical candidacy. Importantly, the convergence of chemistry and genomic information has fostered a parallel-screening approach, which incorporates information gained from primary and secondary, target and whole cell-based approaches, toxicity, and pre-animal physiochemical evaluation to prioritize progression into animal models of infection.
Currently a hurdle to preclinical drug development is formulation and delivery of compounds. The majority of novel inhibitors have LogP values in the insoluble range and are therefore difficult to deliver consistently, and limits their bioavailability. We employ alternative routes of delivery including aerosol, and formulation to enhance drug uptake, PK/PD parameters, and toxicity to enhance efficacy.
Together, these areas of research investigate aspects of bacteria such as phenotypic variation and adaptation that takes place during an infection, and characterization of the corresponding host environment provides the opportunity to develop novel chemotherapeutics targeted to specific clinically important metabolic pathways, that take advantage of the pathogen-host relationship. It is the overall goal to incorporate information obtained from studying a diverse set of human pathogens using state of the art technologies in a multidisciplinary fashion to identify and develop novel inhibitors with potency against metabolically privileged bacterial populations. In deed, the broad themes of one bacterial pathogen or group of pathogens with similar lifestyles can serve as a foundation for investigations with other bacterial pathogens.

I even have recently started out travelling around the arena and have relied immensely on my iPhone to make the adventure greater fun, prevent loss of information, and even point me in the right (or if I want random but interesting) path.
I will in short teach you my preferred 5 top tips for traveling abroad with your iPhone
It is extraordinary how a whole lot the world, in addition to our every day lives have modified on account that the advent of cell telephones and specifically smart telephones, including the iPhone 3g via Apple. Some folks can recall the days while we use to make appointments as soon as an afternoon and saved them because there has been no manner to communicate the change of plan until you were at domestic. Nowadays we need so that you can use the gear at our disposal to make higher knowledgeable decisions… Even whilst on holiday or journeying.
The truth that there are web sites that cater solemnly for offering excessive pleasant iPhone educational videos and cheat sheets is a testimony to this new wave of technology.
The cost of visiting with the net in your pocket
With the recent advances, in particular with the large amount of excessive nice Internet-linked applications which are to be had for the iPhone, attempting to perform your daily obligations with out the Internet in your cellphone will become a hassle.
This is a quandary myself and different excessive frequency or power users of the iPhone have confronted while having to travel overseas with your iPhone, which brings some thrilling demanding situations with it while you discover the roaming charge for data is between £three and £6 between Europe and the rest of the sector.
Luckily I actually have traveled the world with my iPhone in many instances and observed some novel solutions and could now deliver some recommendations to make visiting abroad along with your iPhone a painless and greater exciting experience.
Tip 1: Disable voicemail earlier than leaving
Most carriers for the iPhone will rate you to receive voice-mails whilst you are overseas. With the Visual voicemail characteristic of the iPhone this indicates you may be charged worldwide prices each time someone leaves a voicemail, whether or not you listen to it or no longer. It is straightforward to avoid these charged via disabling your voicemail even as traveling overseas. For UK customers, to exchange voicemail divert off dial 1760. On your go back to replace it back on dial 1750.
Another way of disabling voice-mail earlier than traveling is to kind #004# and get in touch with. Enabling voice-mail in your go back can be accomplished with the aid of typing *004# and urgent call. Not all Networks across the globe permit this functionality, so if this tip doesn't work for you just call your operator support to disable the visible voicemail
Tip 2: Disable records roaming.
Unfortunately records roaming with the iPhone Internet enabled programs can workout steeply-priced in case you were not looking forward to it. It is surprising how a whole lot information an utility consisting of e-mail or everyday internet surfing can eat, so one can leave you with a large surprise when you find the invoice on the stop of the month.
To try this from the home display screen click on settings- general settings- community- statistics roaming – off
There are approaches to nevertheless use your packages together with GPS navigation despite this option became off as defined later on this tutorial.
Before you pass travelling I advocate you clear the facts counter so that in case you do switch on the statistics roaming from time to time for checking a crucial email or website, you will know exactly what the price could be. To clean the facts usage counters, from the home display press the settings button, then press "utilization" and ultimately press "reset facts" button.
Tip three: enable flight mode whilst not looking forward to calls.
If you are on holiday, I'm positive you do not want to be interrupted while paying attention to your favored mp3's even as tanning on the white beaches of Sardinia or some other gorgeous part of Europe.
this will forestall you from receiving calls whilst activated, but greater importantly prevent your battery from strolling flat for while you actually DO need to make a vital call.
O in case you are close to a WIFI get admission to point you may nevertheless spark off the wi-fi While the phone is still in aircraft mode giving you the excellent solution: Internet gets admission to with out records roaming expenses and linger battery existence.
Tip 4: Download the GoogleMaps so they are ready for GPS with out incurring records quotes
o Download the Google maps prior to leaving your home us of a. All you need to do is to open the Google maps app, look for your destination( preferably your inn lodging or road cope with ) and zoom in and round.
O The Google maps app will hold these maps in its transient cache and will now not require the Internet get admission to display them again after you arrive at your vacation spot.
O Prior to leaving I suggest to drop a pin on your points of the hobby, which you may then use as vicinity marks to find your manner round.
O If you've got access to a Internet cafe or WIFI access point at your accommodation you may also visit your itinerary stops over the WIFI connection and feature the ones maps cached whilst you are out and about.

- UK foreign secretary also writes op ed for New York Times
- Trump has 12 May deadline to re-certify or abandon deal
Boris Johnson, the British foreign secretary, pleaded with Donald Trump not to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal on Monday. Johnson, in the US but not scheduled to meet Trump in person, appealed instead via an op ed in the New York Times and a more direct channel: an appearance on Fox & Friends, the president's news show of choice.

I have 1 fetch box. I would like to add 2 extra boxes.
My account details are
Solved! Solved: Go to Solution.
HI @Shazmum
Generally better not to post personal information to a public forum.
If you want to get more Fetch boxes then just contact Optus directly (LIVE CHAT online 24/7) and request them.
Peter Gillespie
Please visit this page for Fetch Multiroom
as per @Ray_YC annd @petergdownload contact optus to have the fetch box (usually the mini) link to your account and send out a new box. Once that is done, connect your new fetch box to the same network as your fetch mighty. The system then discovers itself and you can have the same access as the Mighty for the minis, can even watch the recordings from the mighty. Saying that some records only works on the mighty.
I am not sure how many box you want to have on the same connection, I've tried 1 mighty and 2 minis and that is about the max I would go or fetch allows. Any more will slow your connection right down especially if you are watching 1, recording 2 and have 2 minis in the other room. I found having 3 going at the same time, makes other use's connections much slower even speedtest shows I am getting over 60Mbps with 3 fetch boxes running.

Our graduates are our future business leaders; therefore, leadership coaching should start at the beginning.
Our newly launched Glencore Outstanding Graduate Program is a three-day professional development program spread over two years for all graduates across our North Queensland Copper operations.
The program covers three essential modules that comprise the foundations of strong leadership; Leading Myself, Leadership Competencies and Leading a Team.
The modules look closely at topics such as emotional intelligence, courageous conversations, productivity and workload management, and influencing and resolving issues – learnings that strongly align with Glenore's values and approach.
Stephanie Jackson, Superintendent Human Resources, Copper Assets Australia says Glencore is committed to providing its graduates with a combination of structured professional development and on-the-job experience.
"Many of our graduates have an accelerated career trajectory and undertake project management and supervisory roles relatively early on in the two-year graduate program," Stephanie says.
"The Glencore Outstanding Graduate Program is designed to help them develop the leadership skills that are necessary to be successful in their jobs; skills that you don't learn in your degree."
Current graduates recently completed the inaugural first module, Leading Myself, which was met with positive feedback from those involved.
As one of the first graduates to participate, John Carr, Graduate Environmental Advisor, Mount Isa Mines took away a new perspective and approach.
"Coming from a science based background/degree, I hadn't previously been in tune with important interpersonal skills that are required in a professional workplace," John says.
"The first module opened my eyes to so many essential new skills which form not only a well-rounded graduate, but a future leader.
"Planting these seeds so early on in my career will prove invaluable."
Anthony Hay, Graduate Metallurgist, Ernest Henry Mining found value in continuing the learning experience post-university.
"The program equips participants with the skills necessary to being an effective leader, skills that are largely overlooked at university," Anthony says.
"I now have a heightened awareness of my own emotional intelligence which has been helpful in identifying areas for my own personal and professional development.
"I believe Glencore has demonstrated its commitment to retaining and developing current graduates as future leaders and that makes me feel valued for my contributions."
Stephanie says that in developing the Glencore Outstanding Graduate Program, they first asked the management team 'what makes an outstanding graduate?'
"The program was created from this feedback and allows us to address the skills that we know many graduates need to develop early in their careers," Stephanie says.
"Outstanding graduates display the characteristics we consider to be essential for success and to ensure future career growth.
"They take initiative in building relationships, show initiative as learners, and they demonstrate self-reliance, ownership and independence.
"The best leaders in our business continually expand their knowledge and skills and that is what we are offering our graduates – the opportunity to develop and grow."

The Science of Defoaming : Theory, Experiment and Applications Paperback / softback
by Peter R. Garrett
In the 20 years since the publication of the author's multi-contributor volume on defoaming, a vast amount of new work has been published and many new insights have been revealed.
A cohesive, single-authored book, The Science of Defoaming: Theory, Experiment and Applications provides comprehensive coverage of the topic.
It describes the mode of action of antifoams, presenting the relevant theory and the supporting experimental evidence.
Beginning with an introductory chapter that discusses the intrinsic properties of foam, the book then describes experimental methods for measuring foam properties important for studying antifoam action and techniques used in establishing the mode of action of antifoams. Since most commercially effective antifoams are oil based, a chapter is devoted to the entry and spreading behavior of oils and the role of thin film forces in determining that behavior.
The book reviews the mode of action of antifoams, including theories of antifoam mechanisms and the role of bridging foam films by particles and oil drops.
It also addresses issues related to the effect of antifoam concentration on foam formation by air entrainment and the process of deactivation of mixed oil-particle antifoams during dispersal and foam generation. For applications where chemical antifoam use is unacceptable, the text examines mechanical means of defoaming, such as the use of rotary devices and ultrasound.
The final chapters consider the application of defoaming in radically different contexts including waterborne latex paints and varnishes, machine washing of textiles, gas-oil separation in crude oil production, and cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
Focusing on the basic science of defoaming, this book presents a balanced view, which also addresses the challenges that may arise for these specific defoaming applications.

Harrison Shipp - Senior - Forward - Notre Dame -
Shipp who hails from Lake Forest, Illinois and is the Irish team captain has recorded at least one point in each of Notre Dame's last four contests. This week he scored the game-winning goal from ten yards out and assisted on teammate Leon Brown's goal in Notre Dame's 3-0 win over the Michigan Wolverines. He also netted the equalizer after receiving a cross from teammate Vince Cicciarelli in Notre Dame's 1-1 tie on the road with Boston College.
The Irish remain unbeaten on the season with a 3-0-3 overall record and a 1-0-2 mark in Atlantic Coast Conference play. They return to the pitch on Friday when they host Duke in an ACC matchup.

Since launching the Jadu CXM platform, we have seen a significant shift in how Local Authorities see legacy CRM and how perceptions and strategies are shifting to a focus on the customer and citizen and their digital experience.
Local Authorities are starting to see that expensive and time consuming CRM deployments are not delivering savings and not fit for the modern, mobile age.
This change in focus has generated a need for solutions that focus on the 'user experience' and self-service rather than over-engineered and bloated processes that are complex to understand and change.
Many large CRM systems, which are costly to update, run and extend across new services, simply do not have the tools to provide a modern user expeience for the customer.
Last year, East Kent Services (EK Services) switched from CRM to using a digital platform in their first major phase to redeveloping digital services. This approach has been repeated inside other authorities who are now prioritising the user exerpeince and leveraging case management and digital tools to fuel customer service.
