De Space: Designing your Dream Home
De Space: Designing your Dream Home
Talk to an IT executive in Bangalore and you get to know that he has got his priorities right. The new-age individuals or couples have been around the world, have got global exposure, and once they are back they want to replicate the same best practices when they buy their dream house.
This is the requirement that De Space, a customized boutique interior designing firm based out of Bangalore focused on, and has managed to create a niche of their own in the ever-expanding residential interiors market.
De Space doesn't offer standard products, but understands the clients' requirements and then provides customized interiors to them. "Our clients are mostly sorted. They know their requirements well, and that makes our task easier", says Akshata Menon Vig, Cofounder and Chief designer at De Space. After taking the requirements, Akshata personally works on each and every aspect of space planning and design and accordingly submits a proposal to the clients.
Started by Dev Vig and Akshata Menon Vig in 2010, the firm has delivered more than 400 projects in Bangalore successfully and has more than 60 people team on the ground that helps them achieve their vision.
"While customized interiors have always been the requirement of the client, we also realized that the interior designing market lacked in another aspect –Client experience. Whenever you talk to someone about their residence interiors, we could hear only grievances about the delay in delivery, quality of work, contractors leaving the project mid-way without informing clients, and more. The industry needed a professional setup, and this is something that we have categorically focused upon", says Dev.
For the founders, it's been a great journey so far. They started small and have gradually increased the team while following the lean startup model. "We keep our expenses minimum and focus on achieving the best possible quality. It has helped us to stay afloat and stay profitable", claims Dev. He also says since they are profitable, they have no plans of getting funding from outside and would rather take it slow. "We don't want exponential growth, we want a growth that is sustainable and doesn't result in diluting our quality".
De Space currently operates and services the city of Bangalore, and has plans to expand to other cities. They recently completed their first project in Hyderabad, and also plan to enter the cities of Mumbai and Pune.
"We are taking baby steps. And while the steps may be small, we are happy they are in the right direction", concludes Dev

How do you define 'Best'?
If you're setting up a new machine, you might as well go with 10. The 'fit and finish' is smoother than 8. I doubt there are any programs that run on 8 that won't on 10. On the other had, I doubt there's any new development targeted directly at 8.
As long as your hardware and software are compatible, use 10.
My Choice
I have setup my PC with Windows 10 as soon as it was available.
Microsoft will support Windows 10 for next twenty years. So go with it.

MY THOUGHTS and OPINION
I really liked it because it teaches lessons to the children.
Pepper the skunk is looking forward to the annual meet and greet party, where every skunk in the forest gathers to watch the new skunks spray for the first time. Pepper is ready to show off his first spray in front of everyone—but things don't exactly go as planned! Pepper is embarrassed and upset to discover that he is different from all the other skunks. He worries that this means he is not a true skunk, but when his friends and family are faced with the threat of coyotes, Pepper realizes that being different can actually be a great thing.
Join Pepper in his heroic adventure to try to save the skunks of the forest from coyotes. Will his differences help him or cause him to lose the battle? Find out in Stinky Fumes—a fun-loving and exciting adventure that reminds us how unique and wonderful we all are.

Four-peat? Old School seeks another title
When the Fort Carson intramural basketball season ended last March, Old School was once again raising the championship trophy, showing its continued supremacy of the sport on post. As the new year begins, Old School looks like it will once again be the favorite to capture the title. Should the team hoist the championship trophy a fourth straight year, it may be the most impressive of its championships run. Although Old School lost some of its key players from last year's squad, the team does return a good nucleus of last year's team as well as some impressive players returning to the team after being deployed last season.

That is exactly what the undisputed intramural champions of the past five years have done here. Old School has won four of the past five intramural championships. While taking nothing away from the outstanding teams that have also won titles, this may have been the most impressive showing the team has ever had.

Hey all, it's about a year ago that I made my first submission to Alamy. With over 6000 photos online and with only a few sales yet I'm thinking about improving keywords and captions. Do you have any ideas what I can do better, should avoid or what mistakes I should definitely correct? Please note that I have already read the guides on keywording on Alamy. Or do I just need more patience? Cheers, Caspar
I have now had my RX100 for six months so I now have an informed opinion of it to share: It is a very small and inconspicuous camera easy to carry everywhere all the time. In the six months I have uploaded 696 images to Alamy of which 454 or 65% were taken using the RX100. They say the best camera is the one you have with you. I took some time to decide to buy the camera as I had never before had one without any kind of eye level VF and found rear screens unusable in any kind of bright light. In fact the RX100 screen has been clearly visible in all weather conditions. I was initially very unhappy with the IQ with edge and corner softness all round but much more so at the right hand side of the image. This was corrected by Sony under warranty repair and is now much better. The sensor is evidently much more capable than the lens. Sony warranty repair service was excellent fast and courteous. I shoot aperture priority usually at f5.6 with RAW+J with Jpeg set to "Vivid". In the good weather we have had recently the jpegs are usable for Alamy, with good colour, and sharper than I can get from RAW. The biggest cause of failed images is camera shake so I use Auto ISO set at 200-1600 to keep shutter speed up. The power zoom is too fast for accurate framing and I have the front ring set as zoom control, or often shoot wider than needed and crop. Experience so far is very good. I will have to learn how to deal with the darker weather to come..

Dummies 101 on how to apologise
THE EDITOR, Sir:
Both Basil Waite and Mikael Phillips' apologies, for their verbal battering of Labourites on two different political platforms, lacked humility and sincerity. In neither of those two apologies did they admit that they were wrong for saying the things they said.
Instead, their apologies adopted an 'if I offended anyone, I'm sorry' kind of sentiment. To me, such apologies should be deemed non-apology apologies. Likewise, if a car crashed into another car, from behind, because the driver of the former was distracted, he/she would, clearly and completely, be at fault?
Would it be fine for the guilty party to remark, "If the dent I put into your car caused you stress, and if I put your life in danger, then I am sorry?"
What Waite and Phillips should have said is: "For my highly insensitive, offensive and disrespectful remarks towards my fellow Jamaicans and Labourites, which I should never have said, under any circumstances, and was wrong to have said, I sincerely apologise and humbly ask for your forgiveness. You have my unconditional assurance that I will never use such words or stoop to such a level ever again. Thank you, and God bless Jamaica, land we love."

I was refused twice for a student visa by the German embassy 3 years ago.
I applied for a tourist visa at the same embassy, but they again refused and in the refused letter they mentioned reason no#9.
I appealed and again they refused.
Now I have three refusals already linked with my passport.
My question is, if I plan to travel in the future will these three refusals hurt my chances for obtaining visas?
Specifically, can I improve my chances by renewing my passport?

UK Plans Age Verification for Porn Websites from April 2018
UK Plans Age Verification for Porn Websites from April 2018. UK residents who want to watch porn on the internet have to prove next year that they are age-old to access, written by Citi News.
Websites that offer porn and earn money must in April 2018 check the age of the visitor. That has been announced by the digital minister Matt Hancock, reports the BBC.
How the age check should be done exactly is not clear yet. Users could be asked for credit card information. This is how it works on gambling sites.
According to critics, the measure does not prevent minors from watching porn.
Many websites, such as Twitter and Tumblr, do not have to comply with the law while there may also appear pornographic images. Also, children can also share pornographic images without the intervention of a website.

Let's talk healthcare design: Julie Guinn – designinghealth. Julie Guinn wears two hats, and she likes teaching others to do the same.
That's why as well as being an Experience Designer in a hospital, she's also training doctors to become designers. We caught up to hear about her combined role at Jefferson, what she's learnt from a career in tech and how that's shaping her work in healthcare. What's your current role and how did you get there? I work at Jefferson, which includes Jefferson Health and Thomas Jefferson University, in Philadelphia. I have a dual role here: I'm an experience designer in the Center for Digital Innovation and Consumer Experience and I co-direct the JeffDESIGN program at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College.

The European SuslabNWE study (2012-2015) saw 11 partners from Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden and the UK come together to investigate energy use in the home.
At the Royal College of Art, our work in partnership with SustainRCA looked at bringing together two practices ± that of inclusive design and environmental sustainability. Both often have different starting points, with inclusive design usually focusing on needs and capabilities at the domestic scale, and sustainability typically addressing large systemic change.

SERVICE PROTOTYPING / Desktop walkthrough of a new service concept. Paper Prototyping - Design Thinking Book. Prototyping framework. Prototyping framework < Stories and Ideas < thinkpublic. Put Design Thinking to Work — Stanford d.school. Design thinking can be used for diverse work, but it most easily adopted for the discovery phase of a project: when you are still seeking the meaningful problem to work on, or the right solution to pursue.
So choose a project in its early stages or one you really want to shake up. Second, choose a challenge that has a human element to it. Design thinking helps you excel in understanding people, gaining insights that you can leverage, and experimenting your way to a solution. So pick something in which people matter. That said, it doesn't have to be a consumer project. One way to frame your project around people, is to (re)state the challenge using this format:"Redesign the [ topic ] experience for [ user ]."The first blank is the project area/topic/goal (but make sure the solution isn't already dictated). Some examples: Design Kit. Design Kit. Creative Confidence Map — Stanford d.school. D.school Reading List — Stanford d.school. The best way to learn about design thinking is to do it, but we'd be remiss if we didn't point out some of the books that help contextualize what we do.
If you want to deepen your understanding of design thinking process and application, here's a book list to get you started. We're being selective, not exhaustive, here – think of it as the "staff favorites" section in your local bookstore. Innovation Process The Art of Innovation, by Tom Kelley* Insight Out, by Tina Seelig* Affinity Diagramming. Affinity Mapping. Affinity Diagram - Design Thinking Book. Prototyping made simple < Stories and Ideas < thinkpublic.
Thinkpublic has worked with Designers Front to produce a new animation, Prototyping made simple, to show public services how they can use prototyping to quickly and cheaply develop and test new services.
Although a well-established part of service design, prototyping has not been widely applied to the design of public services. NESTA believes that prototyping could be part of a strong approach to developing new services that deliver better outcomes for less money. Prototyping made simple offers a fun and creative way for public service professionals to learn about the contribution prototyping can make to tackling the big social challenges. At present, public services face two main challenges. Faced with deep budget reductions, they must find new ways to do more with less. Games people play during user research. How and why I use games as 'tools for talking' during fieldwork interviews… A couple of universal truths stand in the way of discovering what people actually think and do: What people do and what people say are rarely the same.
Equally, what people think, and what they say are very different. Annoyingly, but reliably, these rear their heads during customer interviews and ethnographic studies – the two main methods I use to gain insights from people. In practice they work like this: 378 2047 1 PB. Thinkpublic book by thinkpublic. Forum – Serious Play Forum – Serious Play Pro. Hi Mark, Thanks for sharing information about Creativity Boxes.
My first reaction would be – sure, go for it! I have advocated for the use of any bricks for your LSP session. I have tested various sets myself and they work nicely. There was a blog post that I wrote about this a long time ago on the arguments that I have used: Prototype Testing Plan. Prototyping is something we all do in our daily lives when we try out new things – from trying out new recipes while cooking to trying out different routes while going somewhere: it simply involves trying out an idea to see how it can be improved.
At work however, prototyping is more than just 'trying out'; it is a structured way to check that you have an efficient and fitting solution or approach before rolling it out or making a big investment in it. The Prototype Testing Plan gives a basic, but useful overview of the different ways in which you can test your work, as well as when to test it. You can build a prototype using various materials, or simply draw or act out your idea. The Prototype Testing Plan also helps structure the testing process. Tools. Information & Design. Cultural probes (also known as diary studies) provide a way of gathering information about people and their activities. Unlike direct observation (like usability testing or traditional field studies), the technique allows users to self-report.
Information gathered from cultural probes is particularly useful early in the design process. When are Cultural Probes appropriate? Cultural probes are appropriate when you need to gather information from users with minimal influence on their actions, or when the process or event you're exploring takes place intermittently or over a long period. For example, you could use cultural probes to explore how patients feel over the weeks or months following a surgical procedure, or how travelling salespeople manage their work. Cultural probes kit.

Download Our Guide to Service Blueprinting – ONE Design Community – Medium. By Nick Remis Let's be honest, we're all demanding customers with high expectations. We live in the era of touchpoint proliferation, where we expect services to be available whenever and wherever we want them. But at the same time, we expect it to work seamlessly, like magic. This is extremely difficult for an organization to deliver, because it's so difficult to untangle the operational capabilities to meet the varying needs and pathways of the customer over time.

As a result of software eating the world, physical products and environments are smart and connected. There is a shift from focusing on product to multi-channel user experience, and successful companies are employing multidisciplinary teams involving the disciplines of interaction design, industrial design, architecture, branding and service design.
Prototyping has become a way to ensure teams are designing and building the right system of interdependent touchpoints. At Adaptive Path, we employ rapid prototyping in nearly every design iteration. Our clients enjoy the benefits of risk reduction and concept validation, and through prototyping with standardized kits, we also avoid unnecessarily long timelines and bloated budgets. Our two primary kits, Small Object and Environmental, are comprised of commonly used tools, materials, and artifacts that can be quickly assembled to represent a complete customer experience.

The Eagle "Tramp" Trimaran by Haines Hunter is one of the most unique sailboats out there. Not a whole lot of them available and given that she is an early Ian Farrier folding trimaran. It is incredible that you can buy one of these boats complete with trailer and outboard for the 8K range given that is what a new Laser on a trailer delivered would cost approximately.
With the amas folded she makes a legally trailered boat but yet with the boat expanded she renders a beam of 14.75' - - that is right, almost 15' wide. The stability is staggering to keep many a first mate in comfort with out the healing that is associated with most of sailing vessels.
And with that stability the rig can apply more energy to the system and thus yield a VERY FAST sailboat.
Only drawing 4' 0" with the board down, she is an excellent "gunk holer" as she floats in a mere 4 to 5" of water with out much gear in the boat.
The cockpit is delightful for a day's sail and yet she can lend herself to overnighting - - better than a tent with the appropriate gear.
As of this writing she needs replacement standing rigging and this will be accomplished in the up coming weeks (and the price includes this improvement), but otherwise the galvanized trailer is very serviceable and road worthy and she comes with a good 4 hp outboard, sails and everything needed to give you years of enjoyment.
Located at our yard in Memphis, Tn. at the corner of I 240 and US 78 she is easy to get to and drive back home with.
First come, first served. A tremendous amount of sailboat for the dollars and priceless fun for a long time. Time to start making some of those memories !

Higher Education Merger Landscape
The landscape of higher education is rapidly changing in ways that could not have been fully predicted for an industry that has prided itself on tradition, especially in New England. While higher education mergers have occurred over the last few decades, they rarely drew public attention. Rather, these mergers or other partnerships were viewed as academic-business decisions that were necessary and handled discretely between the two institutions. Examples such as Lesley University's merger with Art Institute of Boston, have not only appeared seamless to the public eye but have resulted in a visible honoring of the image and legacy of the institution that was subsumed within the wider university, such as Lesley University's College of Art and Design's vibrant facade on Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge coupled with dynamic gallery shows demonstrating a proud history of arts-based education and community involvement.
Then, isolated stories of smaller institutions closing emerged. A scan of headlines from Inside Higher Ed over the past three years evidences a rapidly changing landscape with headlines, such as "Enrollment Decline Drove Closure of Marian Court College" and "Mount Ida, After Trying for a Merger, Will Shut Down" as well as reactive, follow up headlines, such as "Accreditor Places Sweet Briar on Warning" and "Massachusetts Debates New Regulatory Requirements on Private Colleges in the Wake of Mount Ida's Closure."
Based on the above scan of headlines from Inside Higher Ed, one can portend that the future of higher education, especially that of smaller institutions, is uncertain. However, there has also been a collective pause and reflection regarding this new landscape. After the decision between Montserrat College of Art and Salem State University to not merge, Kellie Woodhouse, of Inside Higher Ed, reflected that in the higher education industry "there's relatively little literature for colleges on how to consider a merger. And while many in higher education agree that mergers could increase, data are sparse on mergers and their frequency."
Indeed, there have been recent acquisitions and mergers, such as Berklee College of Music's merger with Boston Conservatory and Boston University's merger with Wheelock College, that have been viewed as positive and forward looking. Yet, with headlines that are too often riddled with bad news, isn't it time to encourage discourse, case studies, and reflective accounts, from mergers such as those above, that can contribute to answering the question: what are the tenets that can make a higher education merger or acquisition work effectively? We certainly do not want to encourage the belief that there is a one-size-fits-all approach; however, learning from best practices has been core to higher education's progress and advancement throughout history.
My Experience at New England College of Business
My institution, New England College of Business (NECB), offers an account of a successful asset acquisition. In 2017, we were approached by the President of the National Graduate School of Quality Management (NGS), then located in Falmouth, MA. NGS had suffered losses from past leadership, and although they were prideful about the education that they delivered, financial circumstances led them to consider closure, merger, or being acquired.
The first successful element of what would become an asset acquisition of NGS by NECB was a full assessment of institutional alignment. While Inside Higher Ed quoted consultant, Ronald Saluzzo, as stating that too many institutions consider academic alignment after negotiations have begun, the first order of business for the NECB-NGS arrangement was to fully factor in institutional and academic alignment. The assessment showed:
The second successful element that guided the asset acquisition was to place all operational decision making with a strategic guiding framework. Naturally, since both NECB and NGS are small colleges, the pending arrangement felt lofty at times. However, NECB worked directly, collaboratively, and transparently with its state licensing agency and regional accreditor, New England Association of Colleges and Universities-Commission on Institutions of Higher Education (NEASC-CIHE). Based on meaningful conversations with NEASC-CIHE, NECB created a strategic guiding framework predicated on: consistency followed by integration. By following a strategic guiding framework, the myriad operational decision making that occurs on a daily basis of an asset acquisition can be considered strictly within these parameters, such as:
Consistency: In all of its decisions, NECB led by the mantra of Students First and worked with the full understanding that a strong priority was to transfer students from NGS to NECB with the least amount of disruption to their studies. In order to do so, NECB adopted NGS's courseware and kept the NGS curriculum intact. NECB was able to transition almost all of the NGS students. NECB also made the decision to hire almost all of the NGS adjunct faculty and even a select number of NGS staff as a means of consistency and disciplinary expertise. NECB even invited all NGS graduates who had not participated in a commencement ceremony, due to the transition period, to attend NECB's June Commencement.
Integration: While primary considerations involved maintaining the NGS curriculum for the students who transferred, there was equal understanding that the programs that NECB acquired from NGS will now be part of the long-term NECB academic portfolio. Therefore, once all possible measures of consistency were availed, all measures then turned to ensuring that the new academic programs met NECB's academic standards and delivery methods and that the programs would be fully integrated with NECB's academic portfolio. New students, from here on, will study in the enhanced curriculum and be integrated into NECB's services, LMS, and its academic traditions.
While all stakeholders will not be part of all of the negotiations that lead to a merger, acquisition or partnership, based on our experience, we strongly recommend using a strategic guiding framework for daily operational decision making. We also recommend that Students First be a central tenet to the guiding strategic decision making.
To date, the asset acquisition has been positive and NGS dissolved its operations with dignity. NECB strives to maintain the legacy of NGS by delivering the acquired programs under a "School of Quality Systems Management." We may not have the vibrant physical façade with the NGS legacy displayed; yet, we have former NGS students, now NECB students, pursuing their education, having their hard work honored, and a portfolio of new academic programs that have a vibrant future under the aegis of NECB!

This years Miss Black US Ambassador Scholarship Pageant was a four day event that included a welcome reception, a delicious luncheon, a preliminary contestant round, and the final round to crown the new 2014 Miss Black US Ambassador and Miss Black Teen US Ambassador.
VIP Welcome Reception
I was excited to be invited to the VIP Welcome Reception for the Miss Black US Ambassador Scholarship Pageant and was more elated to find out why hadn't I heard about this pageant before a few weeks ago. I entered upon the halls of the Fairfield Inn with bright expectation. Many of the contestants filled the hall with whispers and laughter. After a look around, I opted to sit at the front entrance to scope out who I would interview first.
Interestingly enough, a young lady with a beautiful floral romper stood near me. I, of course had to compliment. Her name, Lauren Parkes; the executive producer of the Miss Black US Ambassador Scholarship Pageant. We exchanged names and she remembered reading our Letter of Intent for our media badges. I requested for a few moments of her time and she was happy to oblige.
- Why haven't I heard about the Miss Black US Ambassador Scholarship Pageant before a few weeks ago?
- Are you based in Atlanta and do you desire to hold pageants elsewhere?
- Why the title Black US Ambassador?
Well, last year; rather than having a full pageant we selected young ladies that we felt were a good representation of our brand. We conferred with a panel of judges to choose the best two young ladies. The 2013 finalist were Jazmine – Miss Black US Ambassador and Whitney – Miss Black Teen US Ambassador. So our first year was our inaugural season to ramp us up to now.
Yes, we are based here in Atlanta. We are already working on confirming locations where other pageants will be held both nationally and internationally. Our goal is to have at least 5 more competitions in Atlanta and then branch out elsewhere.
Well, I come from a pageant background. I began when I was 13 and found out very quickly; unfortunately, there were not a lot of girls that looked like me around. I felt uncomfortable – but quickly got over it. As I continued down my pageant journey, I came to a point where I knew it was time to move on to another dimension. Patrice and I had worked on a few other pageants together so it was natural for us to collaborate for this. We chose the name as it represents our brand the best. We want ladies that are intelligent, beautiful inside and out that are working in our communities to make our world better.
Our interview ended as we were asked to join the others in the ballroom for the evening's meet and greet.
The Luncheon
The delicious smells of food and pastries filled our nostrils as we entered into the halls of the building. The doors were held as the maitre d' coordinated the staff to finish setting the tables properly. Once seated, we were greeted by Patrice Harrison; the CEO and founder of the Miss Black US Ambassador Pageant. A prayer was then stated by Dr. Givens, pastor at the Greater Tabernacle in Augusta; short, sweet, a quick blessing so we could eat.
The host and hostess of today's luncheon was Jazmine, the 2013 Miss Black US Ambassador and Pastor Dr. Givens. The luncheon is focused on honoring women that have exemplified actions to be recognized as Ambassadors of Change and providing the contestants with scholarships that exemplify the same.
A few of today's honorees were Carlisha Williams; founder of the Women Empowering Nations, Xernona Clayton; Trumpet Award creator and a civil rights activist, and Dr. Jacqueline Waters; a two time breast cancer survivor and the founder of 50 Shades of Pink.
A few of today's scholarship recipients were Deja Kirk; Miss Oklahoma, Mikayla Mitchell; Miss Florida, and Taylor Williams; Miss Maryland.
The Crowning of the new 2014 Miss Black US Ambassador
There were bittersweet tears that were shedded as Jazmine and Whitney gave there last walks across the stage as their year of memories passed on the movie screen in the Gwinnett's Arena Performing Arts Center. Each gave words of encouragement, hope, and enticed each contestant to continue moving in the direction of dreams and fulfillment.
There are no more competition and the host and hostess of the evening are out of jokes and quick commentary. A silence falls over the center as we all sit in anticipation on the results…
For Miss Teen Black US Ambassador we have Ciara Thompson:
For Miss Black US Ambassador we have Cearah Hamilton:
Congratulations to all contestants. We wish you the best of luck in all of your endeavors. To the newly crowned Miss Black US Ambassador and Miss Teen Black US Ambassador, we look forward to seeing you blaze a new road full of change and glory. We look forward to seeing what this year brings to you.

"Penrith swelters while Florida freezes: climate disruption is to blame," bleats the headline in the Sydney Morning Herald.
"Now the AGW Zealots are turning to calling the New Modern Cooling Period 'Climate Disruption' in a silly attempt to save the AGW CO2 wealth redistribution scheme," says reader. "This is dangerous thinking and leaves the public unprepared for the New Modern Cooling Period that is upon us. Perhaps this is being done as a way to deflect the liability that's out there for creating false narratives in my opinion."

Following reports that Secretary of State John Kerry will sign the Arms Trade Treaty on behalf of the USA on Wednesday morning, Salil Shetty, Amnesty International's Secretary General commented:
"This is a milestone towards ending the flow of conventional arms that fuel atrocities and abuse. The US is the world's largest arms dealer, but has so far had a mixed record of suspending arms supplies on human rights grounds.
"We now need to see this commitment by the US - and the 86 other countries that have signed the Arms Trade Treaty - matched by action. They must implement the Treaty and bring to an end the supply of weapons to countries where they would be used to commit or facilitate genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes or other serious human rights violations.
"The tragic situation in Syria underlines the horrific human cost of the reckless global arms trade. The Arms Trade Treaty is the opportunity to prevent such human suffering in the future. Governments must seize this once in a lifetime opportunity. The world is now waiting for China and Russia to match the US commitment."

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a well established technique and used on a daily basis in virtually all departments of surgical pathology as a diagnostic, predictive and prognostic tool. IHC is an assay influenced by multiple parameters and the final immunohistochemical staining result will be highly dependent on the choice and performance of these variables. The multiple parameters influencing the results of IHC can largely be ascribed to 1) Pre-analytic parameters (i.e. tissue material, tissue handling before submission to the laboratory, tissue processing in the laboratory etc); 2) Analytic parameters (i.e. antigen retrieval procedure, primary antibody, visualization system, etc); and 3) Post-analytic parameters (i.e. results interpretation and reporting etc).
In order to evaluate that appropriate choices for all parameters have been selected and to secure that the final immunohistochemical result has the expected sensitivity and specificity it is crucial that appropriate controls are performed.
The presentation will give a review about the definitions and the use of positive and negative controls within IHC. A general introduction and practical examples how to design control blocks and how to interpret these will be given. The focus will be on the use of controls to evaluate the impact on both the pre-analytical and analytical parameters for the antibody of choice and how to use controls for the evaluation of the consistency and reproducibility of the immunohistochemical assays.
Søren Nielsen is senior histotechnologist and project coordinator at Institute of Pathology, Aalborg Hospital, Denmark. At the department, he has worked within immunohistochemistry for more than 20 years. He is scheme manager of Nordic immunohistochemical Quality Control (NordiQC) initiated in 1998 and established as a professional organization in 2003. He functions as assessor in the NordiQC general module, breast module and HER-2 ISH module. He is a regular lecturer and organizer of national and international immunohistochemical workshops, particularly in the field of protocol optimization. He is co-author of more than 20 scientific papers based on immunohistochemical studies.

BRING on Grays, we're ready for them.
That was Woking chief Glenn Cockerill's battle cry after seeing his side end the Conference season on a positive beat.
Though only finishing a disappointing 11th, back-to-back home wins in the last week have lifted the mood at Kingfield as the FA Trophy final looms on Sunday May 14.
Cockerill, whose team played with a welcome spark, insisted: "I think we finished on a high. We got our heads together and put in good performances against Aldershot, Forest Green and Altrincham.
"It sets us in good stead for the final. All of a sudden from being low in confidence the players should be really looking forward to getting there now.
"Three weeks ago you woulnd't have bet against Grays winning the Trophy final but that's just changed and we can't wait for it."
While Grays are embroiled in a two-legged play-off semi-final next week, Woking will be taking it far easier with the second of two reserve matches pencilled in to help injured players prove their fitness ahead of the Upton Park clash.
"I want to be fair to everybody but at the end of the day I want to win that trophy and I'm not going to use players who I don't think are going to do that for me," explained Cockerill.
Woking's victory on Saturday, in front of double the crowd who had turned up the previous Tuesday, was assured by half time when they led troubled Altrincham 3-0.
The visitors – who have lodged an appeal after having 18 points controversially docked for fielding player James Robinson without international clearance – were architects of their own downfall in an entertaining Kingfield clash which was marvellously bereft of that end of season feeling.
Defenders Gary Talbot and Gary Scott went for the same ball midway inside their own half and when Cards striker Justin Richards won the aerial duel with them on 17 minutes Karl Murray was suddenly free on goal.
His weak low shot was saved by the excellent Stuart Coburn but Craig McAllister was on hand to prod in the loose ball.
Earlier Stuart Nethercott – who went off injured, although not thought to be seriously – made a timely tackle to deny the impressive Colin Little.
Then Colin Potts hit the base of a post and shortly after McAllister struck, Cards goalkeeper Clint Davies – getting a rare start ahead of Shwan Jalal – made the first of several top quality saves.
But two more Woking goals before the break effectively settled it. First Scott tripped Richards, who tucked away his second penalty of the week on 29 minutes. And later left-back Paul Watson's curling free-kick was too accurate for Coburn as the ball squeezed in.
Spirited Alty, who will be relegated along with Scarborough if their appeal fails, dominated the second half and only the brilliance of Davies kept them out.
When he was not in the way, the crossbar came to Woking's rescue as skipper Mark Maddox met Little's cross with a thumping header.
Altrincham eventually found a way through on 72 minutes when Little looped the ball in from an angle.
In the end mid-table mediocrity was the best that inconsistent Cards could manage after a season which started with much genuine play-off talk – empty words as it turned out.
So is 11th good enough for Cockerill, who had pledged a summer reshuffle a year ago to take the club "to the next level" – something that never materialised? He admitted: "It's not, because we wanted to get in the play-offs and because we had recovered from August and given ourselves a real chance.
"We fell away for whatever reason – injuries, lack of form, lack of confidence and getting to the Trophy final may have taken their minds of it.
"You can look at all sorts of things – footballers are a funny mob and it's my job to make sure they concentrate."
Cockerill, whose team won, drew and lost 14 matches, added: "I'm just delighted for the players that we have finished in a position I think we deserved to finish."
Woking: Davies, Jackson, Smith, MacDonald, Murray, Richards, Evans, Watson, McAllister (Blackman 81), Nethercott (El-Salahi 55), Oyedele (S Cockerill 88). Not used: Jalal, L Cockerill.

Now that summer's here, many teens will participate in extracurricular activities to keep them occupied and, hopefully, inspired and growing as awesome humans.
And, of course, everyone knows that colleges look for students who're meaningfully involved in activities outside of high school classes. Colleges care about the character of the students they admit, so what your teen does during non-academic hours tells them a lot about who she is as a person.
So, what should your kid do to really shine on that application outside of getting good grades and test scores?Continue Reading
