04. Futurists and the Iranian Experience
Iran being the cradle of the first major reactionary revolution of our times, means that freeing Iran from the Islamic Republic nightmare, and moving towards the future, offers the best example for the world, as to how to overcome major pre-industrial setbacks and to go towards a post-industrial society.
Going beyond the industrial society, will be in its most explicit form in Iran, in contrast to countries like the U.S., that are gradually spawning this development. The Iranian experience will have a central role in formulating the ways to progress towards the future post-industrial societies, the same way in the 18th Century, the American and French Revolutions, were so central to set a new paradigm of building the coming industrial society, for most other countries, that were searching for solutions, to go beyond the Medieval society.
What is very disappointing is that the Futurists have mainly ignored the developments of Iran, and have only seen the Iranian situation as an issue of US-Iran relations, whether at the time of the Shah, or at the time of IRI and hostage-taking. If one looks at the publications of the World Future Society in the last 20 years, there is hardly any article about Iran. Among the futurists, only Daniel Bell has made a reference to Iran and the Salman Rushdie issue, and Alvin Toffler has made a few occasional references to Iran.
I think Iranians and those who understand the Iranian situation, will be the ones who can bring the awareness about Iran's experience to the world, and help the futurists of other countries to see the significance of the Iranian upheaval and setbacks, and to understand its relevance to the post-industrial development in general, when the epochal post-industrial change, is challenged by powerful pre-industrial forces like the Islamists, and by the retrogressive social structures of the past, such as the strength of Islamic fundamentalism shown in the Islamic Friday Prayers of Middle East.
I think the Iranian people forming a futurist party and leading and spearheading the epochal change of Iran to a full bloom post-industrial society, can become an example for the world, in making this new paradigm shift from the industrial to the post-industrial world. The challenge in Iran is forming and building a Federal Secular Democratic Republic.
As I have explained in later chapters of Futurist Iran book, the insistence of Reza Pahlavi and the monarchists to return the rule of Pahlavi family to Iran, has wasted a lot of energy of Iranian people, to deal with the monarchy, which has been history for over 25 years, and had already been even voted out in a referendum in Iran.
The monarchy distraction is just for the selfish goals of a deposed family, with another retrogressive goal of returning Iran to an obsolete past, to regain their bygone power and wealth, and it has stopped the pro-democracy movement of Iran, from concentrating all the forces of opposition on eradicating the retrogressive system of Islamic Republic, to replace it with a futurist republic, and again like the time of 1979 Revolution, a retrogressive force, this time the monarchy, is trying to restore its lost power in Iran, by using the people's movement.
Regardless of these distractions, Iran and Iranians will have a leading role in formulating the proper solutions for building the post-industrial society, and that can help others in other parts of the world, by setting an example of developing a post-industrial society in our era, especially in an undeveloped country, encompassing all aspects of life.
For the secular and democratic forces of Iran, to provide proper leadership for this future development of Iran, there is a need to form a futurist party, that can lead such a change, or else even if the power is won, a proper progressive leadership will be absent, and we all know how such absence of a futurist leadership in 1979, ended up in retrogression, and it cost Iran and Iranians so dearly, when choosing a reactionary paradigm as a solution. This is why I have proposed a detailed platform for founding a futurist party of Iran.
One may think that being a futurist is just to learn the views that are well documented in the works listed in the book catalog of the World Future Society. Undoubtedly those books are the best collection of futurist literature around. But to really understand what modern futurism involves, the experience of Iran is the most telling example for any futurist, and it is still a living event.
When approaching Iran, we have to specifically answer some important issues of the political development, firstly the continued strength of the organization of the Shi'a clergy in Iran's judicial branch, and other branches of the state, and its strength in civil institutions like the real estate title companies, and the fact that the absence of separation of state and religion, was true long before the birth of Islamic Republic.
Thus the need to specifically call for removal of clergy's status in all state offices and the need to call for removal of *all* Islamic laws in Iran, including Qessas laws, is the real definition of secularism for Iran. Secondly the absence of development of federalism, is another major factor hindering the growth of democracy in Iran. And thirdly the strength of state economy, has been the foundation of endurance of despotism in Iran, under various regimes. These are crucial issues for achieving progress in Iran.
Some of these topics, such as the position of Shi'a clergy in Iranian state, may have no significance for a futurist who focuses on the development needs of the United States, nonetheless, the pre-industrial obstacles stemming from other religious and ideological influences are not much different, and thus Iran's experience sets a paradigm for futurists, for tackling the challenge of pre-industrial forces to new civilizations, in other parts of the world.
Iranian experience highlights the pre-industrial obstacles and the relevant solutions, when progressive forces do not want to create another obsolete despotic system, with a stagnant economy and with more violations of human rights, when replacing an existing retrogressive system. Such so-called "new" pre-industrial systems, replacing the industrial system, are not progress towards a post-industrial society, and are simply a retrogression wrapped up, as a solution, to the problems encountered by the crisis-ridden industrial world.

Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infection
What is a Central Line?
A central line (also called a "catheter" or a "central venous catheter") is a thin, flexible tube that is placed in a vein, usually in the neck, chest, arm or groin. Central lines are used to delivery medications, intravenous fluids and nutrition, and to take blood samples. With proper care they can remain in place for several weeks or longer.
What is a Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infection (CLABSI)?
A Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infection, or CLABSI, is an infection that occurs when bacteria (germs) enter the blood through the central line requiring treatment with antibiotics. These infections also increase the chances that the central line will not work properly requiring additional IV access and increased length of hospital stay.
How do we keep your child safe from CLABSI?
We outlined a care process that was successful in reducing the number of infections by over 80% by the end of 2016. This process includes:
- Diligent and frequent hand washing, which is an important step in preventing central line infections.
- Consistently placing central lines under sterile conditions.
- Changing central line dressings under the care of two nurses using masks and sterile gloves and gowns.
- Daily CHG (antiseptic) wipe treatment for children over two months of age while they have a central line.
- Review of the need for a central line by your medical team on a daily basis and immediate removal once it is no longer needed.

In the February issue of CAP TODAY, Curtis Hanson, M.D., professor of laboratory medicine and pathology at Mayo Clinic, and James Stubbs, M.D., chair of the Division of Transfusion Medicine at Mayo Clinic, were interviewed for the article, "Powering down on excessive test use." Focusing on optimal laboratory utilization, the article discusses a variety of methods to power utilization objectives.
According to Dr. Hanson, who leads the Mayo utilization effort, a variety of steps can be used to establish a utilization review process: develop medical criteria for sending out high-cost tests, avoid repeating tests unnecessarily, and set up a laboratory review process using algorithms and guidelines for selected tests.
"Labs don't provide guidance on how to order the appropriate assays in various diseases. And if laboratories don't have an appropriate review and ordering process in place, clinicians have no choice but to order excess testing," said Dr. Hanson. "The job of laboratories is to move clinicians from asking, "Do you do this test?" to "Can you help me solve this clinical problem?"
Dr. Hanson also discussed utilization in terms of overall health care.
"I'm familiar with the argument that since lab tests only account for a few percent of overall health care costs, don't be stressed about test utilization," Dr. Hanson continues. "But I see labs being able to take a leadership role in driving down overall costs within a health system. We touch all clinicians by dealing with utilization in the laboratory. It sets a goal and puts processes in place that can then be used throughout the health care system."
While hematopathology was one of Mayo's first utilization efforts, more recently it applied many of the same principles to optimizing use of blood products, with Dr. Stubbs leading the effort. Dr. Stubb and his team developed a program of blood management in cardiovascular surgery patients. The program utilized an algorithm based on coagulation tests routinely obtained in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) patients. When they applied the algorithm intraoperatively to half of a group of 92 cardiovascular surgery patients with abnormal bleeding after CPB, they found a statistically significant decrease in the amount of fresh frozen plasma and platelets transfused compared with usual practice. Patients in the algorithm group also had less bleeding in the ICU and a decrease in mediastinal exploration. In addition, an algorithm was developed for postoperative care.
According to Dr. Stubbs, "Use of the intraoperative and postoperative algorithms reduced red blood cell transfusions by 47 percent and transfusions of plasma, platelets, and cryoprecipitate by 57 percent. During that period the total cost of transfusions dropped by $2 million, for a calculated savings of $7.37 for every dollar invested in the project."

The proposed final design for the controversial new merged St Andrew's and St Joseph's Catholic primary school was unveiled last week at a drop-in event.
The school, which will be built at the current St Andrew's site in Bearsden, will receive pupils from St Joseph's primary in Milngavie who will travel by bus to the new building.
Parents of St Joseph's pupils have battled to keep their school in Milngavie because they say the Catholic community, the wider community - such as trade in the town centre and pupils will suffer if the school closes.
Parents have even suggested that they could run St Joseph's Primary School themselves to save it from closure.
Around 60 local residents, teachers, parents and community representatives went along to see the site plan and designs for the school which has a maximum capacity of 450.
Construction of the new school starts in Easter 2017 and is expected to finish around June 2018.
Pupils will remain at the current St Andrew's and St Joseph's in Milngavie until the new school is built and then they will move over to the new building in August 2018.
The former St Andrew's school will then be demolished to build a playground and football pitch.
There will be 17 classrooms with no doors, instead they will have a flexible area for group work. And the gym/dining hall will have a retractable screen so that the whole area can be used if necessary.
Each classroom has an oputdoor canopy which can be used for storage and teaching. There will also be a small roof terrace for lessons and a large teaching area for whatever use they choose such as art, home economics or science.
Council Leader, Rhondda Geekie, said: "Those who attended had a chance to see the site plan and the general arrangements for the layouts of the new school which is being built as part of the Council's Primary School Improvement Programme. The event was an opportunity for Council Officers to engage with the local community on the proposals ahead of the planning application being lodged later this month."
"I'd like to thank everyone who came along, the event was very constructive and will assist us in moving forward in building a school that meets the educational needs of the St Joseph's and St Andrew's communities."

Amino Acids, Peptides, and Proteins | Clinical Trials | Immune System Diseases | Musculoskeletal Diseases | Pharmaceutical Preparations | Rheumatology | Skin and Connective Tissue Diseases | Therapeutics
OBJECTIVE: Assess 5-year golimumab (GOL) safety in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
METHODS: Subcutaneous (SC) GOL (50 mg or 100 mg every 4 weeks) was evaluated in phase 3 trials of patients with active RA, PsA, and AS. Safety data through Year 5 were pooled across 3 RA trials [1 each evaluating methotrexate (MTX)-naive, MTX-experienced, and antitumor necrosis factor (TNF)-experienced patients], 1 PsA trial, and 1 AS trial. Data summarized was derived from both placebo-controlled (through weeks 24-52) and uncontrolled study periods. For adverse events (AE) of special interest [serious infections (SI), opportunistic infections (OI), deaths, malignancies, demyelination, tuberculosis (TB)], incidence per 100 patient-years (pt-yrs) was determined.
RESULTS: Across all trials, 639 patients received placebo and 2228 received SC GOL 50 mg only (n = 671), 50 mg and 100 mg (n = 765), or 100 mg only (n = 792). Safety followup extended for averages of 28.5 and 203.2 weeks for placebo and GOL, respectively. Respective placebo and GOL AE incidence/100 pt-yrs (95% CI) through Year 5 were 4.86 (2.83-7.78) and 3.29 (2.92-3.69) for SI, 0.00 (0.00-0.86) and 0.23 (0.14-0.35) for TB, 0.00 (0.00-0.86) and 0.22 (0.13-0.34) for OI, 0.00 (0.00-0.86) and 0.10 (0.05-0.20) for lymphoma, 0.00 (0.00-0.86) and 0.08 (0.03-0.17) for demyelination, and 0.29 (0.01-1.59) and 0.41 (0.29-0.57) for death. TB, OI, lymphoma, and demyelination incidence appeared to be higher among patients receiving GOL 100 mg only.
CONCLUSION: SC GOL safety through Year 5 remained consistent with previously reported Year 3 findings and with other TNF antagonists. Numerically higher incidences of TB, OI, lymphoma, and demyelination were observed with 100 mg versus 50 mg. Clinicaltrials.gov identifiers: NCT00264537 (GO-BEFORE), NCT00264550 (GO-FORWARD), NCT00299546 (GO-AFTER), NCT00265096 (GO-REVEAL), and NCT00265083 (GO-RAISE).

- Mentored awards
Career Development Awards
LUNGevity's Career Development Awards for Translational Research program was created to support future research leaders who will keep the field of lung cancer research vibrant with new ideas.
Applicants must be within the first five years of their faculty appointment. The Career Development Awards are mentored awards; a mentoring plan is part of the required submission.
Funded projects are expected to have a direct impact on the early detection of lung cancer or on the outcomes of lung cancer, or to provide a clear conceptual or experimental foundation for the future development of methods for early detection and/or individualized treatment, including through targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
Early Detection and Interception Award
LUNGevity Foundation is currently collaborating with Stand Up To Cancer and the American Lung Association (via LUNG FORCE) on two four-year projects (2018-2022) that focus on lung cancer interception: catching precancerous cells and blocking them from turning into cancer cells. The Thomas G. Labrecque Foundation is also investing in this collaboration. Two teams of interdisciplinary and multi-institutional researchers are being funded: a Lung Cancer Interception Dream Team, whose project is Intercept Lung Cancer Through Immune, Imaging, & Molecular Evaluation (InTIME), and a Lung Cancer Interception Translational Research Team, whose project is Blood-Based Early Interception of Lung Cancer.
Therapeutics Awards
LUNGevity's Therapeutics Awards for Translational Research support research projects directed at individualized treatments, including targeted therapeutics and immunotherapy, that will make a difference in the clinical treatment and survival of patients.

MD Helicopters is under Soviet mind-control and has been for a long timeHow else does the Soviet Union get enough MD 500 Defender helicopters to export them?
The Soviet Union had a secret factory in the Urals that produced reverse-engineered imitation MD Helicopters
It's not like the Soviets cared that much about Intellectual Property.
Seasons 1-3 and Season 4 take place in (slightly) different continuities
- This is the reason for the complete non-appearence of Caitlin (they never met her) as well as the "The FIRM"/The Company" difference.
Stringfellow Hawke is easily dupedArchangel could have had someone fly the Airwolf out of its lair anytime he wanted. But as long as Hawke could be talked into doing missions for him by letting him think he had the upper hand, why not?
- Archangel says early on that his deal with Hawke is the only way the Firm can avoid red tape and political hot water while using Airwolf, possibly referencing the senator's summation at Red Star that developing weapons like Airwolf isn't in the Firm's job description. Zeus seems to have stopped caring when Airwolf 2 rolls off the assembly line, for all the good it did.
- The fact that Airwolf is sometimes in danger of being discovered by people with less resources than Archangel means the two aren't mutually exclusive; presumably Archangel would have no trouble gaining use of the satellite that scoured the entire country for Airwolf's hiding spot, for example, without warning Hawke about like he did when someone else was using it, but he would gain nothing from doing so.
Project Proteus was Moffat's first attempt at AirwolfAt the beginning of the scene at Red Star, the Senator is extremely unimpressed when he sees Airwolf, immediately dismissing it out of hand. He's more than open-minded enough to change his mind as soon as he sees it in action, but he clearly has overspending on defense equipment in mind, if not an outright aversion to military helicopters for their high cost. If he was actually providing some degree of oversight at White Sands instead of being brought in once something was already finished the way Archangel shows him Airwolf, it's not much of a stretch to imagine that Proteus was Airwolf, canned as soon as the Senator saw it was a project to build an "overgrown beanie with a propeller on top." He's told about Airwolf's special capabilities before seeing it in action and is still dismissive until the actual demonstration, so the promise of what the project could do wouldn't have swayed him. Moffat was later able to go through different channels and start all over again.

We are: pioneers building next generation wild seafood sourcing systems
Dock to Dish is an international network of small-scale fishermen, marine biologists and sustainable seafood advocates working in teams from ports and harbors across North and Central America. We are collectively committed to making local, traceable, low-impact wild seafood accessible to organized groups of cooperative members through our unique community and restaurant supported fishery programs.
Over the past seven years we have worked on the coastal frontiers of the local food movement, creating new alternatives to old industrialized seafood supply chains in cities and towns spanning from New York and California to Canada and Costa Rica. Across this broad spectrum, our place-based sourcing initiatives have blazed new trails toward the restoration of transparency and sustainability in ocean-driven cuisine and the wild seafood marketplace at large.
In June of 2017, The United Nations Foundation designated the Dock to Dish community and restaurant supported fishery model as one of the top breakthrough innovations that can scale to solve the ocean's grand challenges—and put us on a path to healthy, valued, understood oceans.

Generic Vibramycin
The patents for Vibramycin have expired and there are generic versions of this medication available. Generic Vibramycin is available in the form of capsules (50 mg and 100 mg) and as a powder used to make an oral suspension (25 mg per 5 mL). The FDA has assigned all generic versions an "AB" rating, meaning they should be equivalent to the brand-name medication.
Is a Generic Version of Vibramycin Available?Vibramycin® (doxycycline) is a prescription medication approved for treating and preventing a variety of different infections. Vibramycin belongs to a group of antibiotics known as tetracyclines. It comes in three different forms (capsules, syrup oral suspension, and powder for oral suspension). The syrup oral suspension comes in ready-to-use form, while the powder for oral suspension must be mixed by your pharmacist.
Brand-name Vibramycin is manufactured by Pfizer, Inc. However, it has come off patent and is available as a generic.
Strengths of Generic VibramycinGeneric Vibramycin is available in the following strengths and forms:
- Doxycycline hyclate 50 mg capsules
- Doxycycline hyclate 100 mg capsules
- Doxycycline 25 mg per 5 mL powder for oral suspension.
Vibramycin 50 mg per 5 mL syrup oral suspension is currently unavailable in generic form.
- Mutual Pharmaceutical Co., Inc.
- Teva Specialty Pharmaceuticals
- Watson Laboratories.
Is Generic Doxycycline as Good as Vibramycin?All generic medications must undergo certain tests to compare them to brand-name medications. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) then looks at these tests to decide if the generics are equivalent to the brand-name medications, and assigns each generic a rating. An "AB" rating means that the FDA has determined that a generic medication is equivalent to a brand-name medication. All of the generic Vibramycin versions currently available have an "AB" rating, meaning they should be equivalent to Vibramycin.
However, generic medications are allowed to have different inactive ingredients than the brand-name medication. This might include fillers, dyes, or other ingredients that may cause problems for people with allergies or sensitivities.
It should also be noted that there are several other brand-name and generic doxycycline medications available that are not equivalent to Vibramycin.

[Mike Siegel, The Seattle Times.] I'm hoping the school-bus driver who complained about bicyclists breaking traffic laws is no longer in her job, because she is clearly either blind or driving with her eyes shut. ["Northwest Voices: Bicycle safety," Opinion, July 14.] She insists she's seen more cyclists breaking traffic laws than drivers. Really? There are thousands more drivers than there are cyclists, and just in my daily five-mile drive to work, I regularly see those drivers roll through stop signs, pass on the right, change lanes or turn without signaling, cut other drivers off, exceed the speed limit … the list goes on and on. The letter writer just hates bicyclists. I'm tired of people complaining that cyclists don't pay their fair share of gas tax in support of transportation projects that include bike lanes and other bike-related projects. I drive plenty, and so do all the other adult cyclists I know. Besides, transportation amenities, like bike lanes, contribute to the overall livability of the entire community, which has all sorts of benefits to every single one of us — even those who never get out on a bike and ride.

Aurier 'told me he wanted to leave' - Emery gives hope to Man Utd & City
Paris Saint-Germain head coach Unai Emery has acknowledged that Serge Aurier has said he wants to leave the club, with Manchester United and Manchester City linked with a move for the right-back.
The Ligue 1 runners-up, meanwhile, have already signed Dani Alves this summer, beating Pep Guardiola's side to the punch for the veteran Brazilian, who is set to replace the Ivory Coast international.
Get odds on Man Utd winning the PL
Editors' Picks
Emery, meanwhile, has said he is content for Aurier, signed from Toulouse in the summer of 2014, to depart.
"I've spoken with Serge to tell him I wanted him to stay here and continue with us," he told L'Equipe. "He told me that he wanted to leave and that he wanted to stay in Paris to prepare for going.
"So, we signed Dani Alves, a very experienced player who has the spirit of a champion."
Grzegorz Krychowiak will also depart in the summer, having failed to impose himself since moving from Sevilla in 2016.
"I've spoken with him," the coach said. "He's a quality player who can play in a very good team.
"But at PSG, some players, when they arrive, must be capable of crossing an additional step to adapt to the play of the team. It's not the same as at other teams. So, it's better he finds another team where the play is better suited to him."
Emery revealed that PSG, who have been linked with a move for Neymar, are by no means finished in the transfer market.
"We also want to sign a midfielder," the former Sevilla coach said.
"It's not easy to improve this team. I only wish to sign players who will help us progress."

- National Wool Museum 2018 / White Night Ballarat 2019 / Photographs and video by Sarah Walker / Senior Curator Luke Keogh
"It was eerie, absorbing, spectacular and inspiring all at the same time. Brilliant exhibition". Ken Linnett (visitor)
Spidergoat and the Insect Electro was created for the National Wool Museum and appeared at White Night Ballarat.
Light filled cocoons and gentle electro sounds led you into the installation where you unravelled a strange and thought provoking story about insect silk … told almost entirely with wool.
The quest to obtain or replicate the qualities of spider silk reveal unusual methods of research in science – from across the ages and into the contemporary transgenic era. What is revealed is hard to believe, but it is a true story! After many years spent marvelling at the artistry of spiders as weavers, this installation has given me the opportunity to delve into the qualities of spidersilk. As the strongest known natural fibre on the planet and many times stronger than steel, its elasticity and strength has been coveted by human industry and the sciences for centuries. It is with some kind of satisfaction that it remains somewhat elusive, like natures last secret. Up to this point human interference in natural selection has been as an editor, not a creator but the story revealed a new branch of the tree of life. That of the synthetic kingdom – the human made lifeforms on the cusp of introduction that are falling under the gaze of industrialised biology. As Senior Curator Luke Keogh pointed out, we are entering 'brave new worlds'.
Some artwork from the installation is now part of the National Wool Museum Collection.
Here is a link to a video that illustrates the sound and light by Pierre Proske https://vimeo.com/278091360 / Video by Kathy Holowko

Feature Interview with Philippe Heron | Managing Director International at Laser Pegs
by June 7, 2017 10:280
We recently had the opportunity to meet with Philippe Heron from Laser Pegs at this year's Australian Toy Hobby & Licensing Fair in March. We spoke to Philippe about Laser Pegs and the origins of the business. We also discussed their plans for the Australian & New Zealand markets now and in the future.
Philippe, for those who are not familiar with Laser Pegs; can you provide a brief introduction to Laser Pegs and its origins?
Established in 2009 and headquartered in Sarasota (Florida), Laser Pegs is the original Lighted Construction Set. Laser Pegs encourages forward thinking and multi-dimensional play. Laser Pegs products combine two things that nearly every kid loves; light and building things. The product lines are based on a "Slide, Stack & Spin" play pattern that allows you to build anything you can imagine like vehicles, dinosaurs, robots or even spaceships! Year after year, Laser Pegs has been recognised as an award winning toy. To date, the company has been honoured with over 50 awards because of its "Slide, Stack & Spin" play pattern by esteemed organisations like Dr. Toy, Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, Parenting magazine and Good Housekeeping magazine. Its merits in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning have been well documented, making Laser Pegs one of the best selling toys in the construction market. With unique categories, over 20 items in its 2017 product lineup and retail presence in more than 70 countries, the brand continues to establish itself as the global standard in lighted construction.
How do Laser Pegs differ from other products on the market in the construction & puzzle categories?
Laser Pegs is a technology, education, entertainment and construction toy Company with the following original objectives: Intellectual Property surrounding illumination and microchip controlled interactivity; application of technology into educational and STEM learning product ranges; innovate, develop, market and distribute toys in the "Tech-Construction" category.
Laser Pegs products distinguish themselves through:
- Clean, crisp and impactful packaging concepts
- Clarity amongst the sea of colours
- Modularity. Family packaging that will instantly capture the consumer's attention
- Laser Pegs® state of the art lighted demo boxes significantly increase sales velocity
- "Try Me" feature on every 2017 box gives the consumer a first-hand Laser Pegs® experience
Laser Pegs are available in-stores and online; are both platforms equally important or do you find that one tends to be more popular with this product?
We see a fast growing trend for internet sales as the smartphone market is developing so quickly along with increased internet speeds via 4G and soon 5G. This shift obviously drives more consumers towards internet sales. In the USA, internet sales account for a higher share of our sales than in Europe or Asia, but the trend is towards a worldwide growth of sales through the internet and the many online channels.
From a licensing point-of-view, do you have any plans to move Laser Pegs into the licensing market with licensed options of your products?
Our distribution will have covered all key markets by the end of 2017 and we certainly will look at opportunities that could make sense both for Laser Pegs and for brand owners seeking new licensee opportunities and categories. Remember though, the Laser Pegs DNA is the light & construction category.
Speaking specifically from a market angle; what are the strongest markets for Laser Pegs throughout the world so far?
USA, Canada, France, Benelux, Switzerland, Denmark, Australia & the Middle East; we are also developing fast in all other European markets. Crayola Italy will introduce Laser Pegs this year end and we are establishing nicely in a very specific market which is key in the toy industry; Germany.
Australia & New Zealand are fast growing markets; who are you working with in these markets for Laser Pegs for Sales & Marketing?
We have operated a drastic change in our distributorship which started in early 2017. We are very excited to have appointed Zimbler from Melbourne (Australia) who have a very strong name in the market and who are a highly recognised family owned company. Zimbler are committed to brands and they have a very dedicated sales team which I have been very happy to meet during the recent Toy Hobby & Licensing Fair in Melbourne in March. We anticipate this new relationship to provide a strong and mutually profitable partnership between Laser Pegs and Zimbler. It is also exciting that we will receive support from Kidstuff; they will allocate a very unique space to Laser Pegs in their stores which is great. Toys "R" Us are also a very active retailer for Laser Pegs and we hope to have some accounts offering Laser Pegs distribution from 2018. Things take time to address and correct but we are hopeful to see Australia becoming an even stronger market for us in the future!
Finally, from a marketing point of view; do you have content that supports the products in terms of social media, television or digital media?
TV commercials and digital media are part of our communication plans for Laser Pegs and we are currently working on such a TV commercial. We are also excited to be filming extra footage for digital media as well. All our distributors tend to prefer digital media to national TV campaigns simply because digital media offers a chance to specifically reach our target market at a much lower cost than a national TV campaign. We also all know that kids are now spending more and more time on smartphones and tablets than in front of the TV… so now we have to follow them!

Looking to own a paddleboard, but want an affordable, travel-friendly option? Check out this Inflatable SUP. It comes packed with everything you need to get out on the water paddling!
All-in-One Inflatable SUP Kit. This inflatable paddleboard package includes everything you need to get started paddling. The inflatable SUP itself is 10'6" long once inflated, which you'll do with the included pump. The pump hose affixes to the valve at the nose of the SUP (gray circle in pictures). After pumping up the SUP, lock the valve and your paddleboard is ready to ride. An adjustable paddle makes it easy for you, your friends and family to all use this SUP; it can be adjusted from 67" - 82" and breaks down into 3 pieces for easy transport. A coiled leash attaches to the tail of the board and to your ankle when you're out on the water. The SUP's 2 smaller side fins are permanently affixed to the SUP, while the larger center fin is removable. Notice the deck rigging, the adjustable black bungees on the nose of the SUP, which is where you can store your Life Vest, water bottle, and more while you're on the water. The deck of the SUP is a rubber traction surface, great for additional stability to keep your feet under you.
Travel Friendly. The beauty of an inflatable SUP is that it's simple to use, store, and travel with. The SUP deflates to roll up into a heavy-duty, adjustable travel backpack (included). This means you can store your SUP at home in the backpack, easily pack it into your car when you're embarking on your next SUP adventure, and can carry the SUP on your back to the water's edge where you'll inflatable it and hit the water.
Easy to Use. While inflatable SUPs may in the past have been considered "beginner paddleboards", the technology recently improved to the point where their price and ease of use can tip the scales to inflatable SUPs over traditional fiberglass or epoxy paddleboards. If you're living in a small apartment, in a city, own a small car, or are a smaller person, an inflatable SUP can make the most sense for you. It will fit in your home, it will fit in your car, you'll be able to carry it in the backpack unassisted, it's lighter to carry once inflated (and has a handle on the deck) and it'll make the entire SUP experience easy and enjoyable. Make this your primary paddleboard, or use it as your entry point into paddleboarding. Either is a great option.
Manufactured by the Komunity Project, a well-known name in the action water sports industry.
(Including Alaska and Hawaii)

The Mexican peso fell to a record low against the US dollar due to uncertainty in global markets, the media reported on Friday
In currency exchanges at the Mexico City International Airport, the peso slumped on Thursday to as low as 18.06 against the US dollar, while it traded at 18.05 at BBVA Bancomer and at 18.03 at Banamex and Santander's Mexican unit, EFE news reported.
The peso, however, was stronger relative to the dollar at some of the main currency houses in Mexico City, ranging from between 17.30 and 17.85.
The peso also remained below 18 to the greenback at Mexico's central bank, although its value fell to 17.74.
Analyst Juan Musi told Milenio Television that the record low for the peso was mainly due to the "terribly uncertain moment" in global markets, which have been roiled in recent days by a stock market rout in China.
Risk-averse investors tend to seek the safety of the dollar during times of economic turmoil.
Concerns about the impact of an interest-rate hike by the US Federal Reserve, which finally raised its benchmark rate last month for the first time in a decade, and low oil prices also have contributed to a sharp decline in the peso, which has fallen around 20 percent relative to the dollar over the past 12 months.

I had a friend of mine ask if I just shopped all the time for clothes to wear for this blog. And the answer is absolutely not! My method for creating these posts is to scan Pinterest/magazines/fashion sites for outfits & inspiration that resemble clothing I already own. I try to get inspired to love the clothes that I have in my closet.
To find inspiration sometimes I just browse around and happen find a great picture that is similar to pieces or colors that I already have and other times I search (google, Pinterest, etc) for terms related to a specific item of clothing I want to wear, "black shorts", "green cardigan" or "mint jeans" and reverse engineer an outfit that way.
I also have a tendency to keep clothing for a really long time. Today's outfit is a good example of how long I
hoard keep clothing. I bought this pair of grey Express pants (with a second pair of black ones) for my very first job out of college eight years ago. I wore those two pairs of pants over and over (probably 2x a week each) at the beginning of my work life because I didn't own any other office appropriate pants. And then I bought both the floral top & cardigan from outlets within the first year or so at my job. So the whole outfit doesn't contain any new purchases and is actually around eight years old!
Green floral blouse – Banana Republic Outlet
Green/mustard cardigan – JCrew Outlet
Grey Editor pants – Express
Brown loafer pumps – Jessica Simpson
Gold link watch – Michael Kors

How to Adjust Prices in QuickBooks 2011
QuickBooks 2011 understands that times change, and prices might, too. QuickBooks provides a couple of handy commands and tools that you can use to change the prices that you charge customers for your products and services.
Using the Change Item Prices command
The Change Item Prices command, which appears on the Customers menu, displays the Change Item Prices window. This window lets you change prices of a bunch of different items at one time by an amount or percentage:
Mark the items whose prices you want to change by clicking the Check Mark column.
Enter an amount or percentage in the Adjust Price of Marked Items By (Amount or %) box to specify how much you want to change the price.
Click Adjust on the right to make the adjustment.
Using price levels
Price levels are kind of weird; they let you individually adjust the price of an item up or down. For example, if you've agreed to discount items by 10 percent for a certain customer, you can easily do this by using a price level to knock the price down by 10 percent whenever you're invoicing that customer.
To use price levels, you first have to set up the price levels by using the Price Level list command on the Lists menu. After you set up your price levels, you use them when you create an invoice.
Creating a price level
Here's how you create a price level:
Choose Lists→Price Level List.
QuickBooks displays the Price Level List window.
Click the Price Level button and choose New on the Price Level menu.
QuickBooks shows you the New Price Level window.
Type a name for your price level in the Price Level Name box.
Make sure the name is descriptive enough for you to understand what the price level will do.
Select the items to which you will want to apply the price level by clicking them.
If it's a general price level that'll be used for all products, click the Mark All box.
In the Adjust Price of Marked Items to Be boxes, indicate the standard price increase or decrease that this price level will put into effect.
Use the Round Up to Nearest drop-down list to tell QuickBooks how (or whether) to round the resultant calculation.
Click OK.
Using a price level
To use a price level, you create an invoice in the usual way. However, click the Price Each column for the item that you want to reprice by using the price level. QuickBooks turns the Price Each column into a drop-down list. Click the arrow button that opens the drop-down list and choose a price level (or the base rate price). QuickBooks adjusts the price for the price level change.
QuickBooks also lets you set a default price level for a customer. When such a default price level is set, QuickBooks automatically uses the appropriate price level when you choose that customer. The Price Level box appears on the Additional Info tabs of the New Customer and Edit Customer window.

Festivals are great fun. As a volunteer you can help make things happen, make new friends, and usually get to see events for free.

One of the most famous sites in Florence is the dome to the city's main cathedral, or duomo. For months leading up to my trip, I thought that "duomo" was either Latin or Italian for "dome." I was wrong. The word "duomo" comes from the Latin word for house, so calling a cathedral "duomo" is calling it the house of God. Ya tú sabes.
Back to the dome itself. It took 18 years to build and, at the time of its construction, was the largest dome ever built. In fact, nothing near its size had been attempted in over 1000 years — like ideas of any kind, new thinking in architecture came to a stop during the Dark Ages in Europe.
The architect was a man named Filippo Brunelleschi. His ideas on how to construct the dome were so different from anything that had been attempted before him that friends and enemies called him crazy. Still, he persisted, and I hope that you all do the same when faced with challenges that seem impossible, even if others are laughing at you.
Much of the materials for building to the dome came from the nearby Arno River, as workers used sand and gravel from the bottom of the river. By the end of its construction, over 70 million pounds of material were lifted from the ground to make the dome, and it was so different than anything else ever built, that new machines were invented to successfully complete the construction, and there are 463 steps to the top of the dome.
Finally, I met a couple new friends up at the top — Elizabeth and her younger brother. Meeting nice people is the best part of traveling. Hope you guys are doing well in TN!
I see a lot of the GRAPES (geography, religion, art/architecture/achievements, political systems, economic systems, and social classes) in this post. Let me know which ones you see and explain in the comments below.

Impulsive and often disoriented, elderly persons suffering from cognitive disorders or Alzheimer's disease are more likely than most people to run away from home or get lost. At that point, is it relevant to set them up with a GPS tracker?
Choosing a geolocation device for an Alzheimer's patient also means choosing safety. Whether they are kept at home or placed in a specialized center, they are prone to flee, lose track of where they go, even in familiar environments. Risks include potential accidents, bad encounters, hypothermia or dehydration, and always a stressful time for the patients and their relatives. In this context, it becomes necessary to be able to locate the patients and allow them to call for help with a dedicated button.
Providing an Alzheimer's disease patient with a geolocation device can also raise ethical questions: should you equip them when they refuse to be? Is it okay to track their movements without their affirmative consent? These questions are justified and must be carefully addressed, based on the patient's psychological condition, what they are willing to accept and with the expertise of the medical staff.
The right equipment
There are several types of devices: pendants, bracelets, smartphones, boxes… Certain pendants and bracelets are a hassle to put on and take off, which doesn't help diminish the feeling of coercion for the senior!
The setup and the use of the device must be as simple as possible: few keys, readable and clear indications, and little handling to do.
The warning button must be visible, easy to find and to activate. The audio communication with an operator or a relative must have clear transmission and a sufficient sound level.
The Weenect Silver system can be an essential partner, combining comfort and safety for the elderly suffering from Alzheimer's disease… as well as for you! It has a light medallion (55g), a big and user-friendly button, a long-life battery (up to 7 days) and provides real-time GPS tracking.Weenect Silver providing comfort and safety for a senior suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Scarlet-x Red Dragon W/ Side SSD And Lens Mount
Expert Review
The Scarlet-X has all the specs one looks for in a modern digital cinema camera including wide dynamic range at 16.5 stops, 6K RAW Super 35mm sensor, up to 120 fps recording modes, and a modular design making it amenable to peripherals. Owning a camera of this quality for under $20,000 is worth the investment as RED continues to allow users to upgrade their products. For example, early Scarlet-X owners could upgrade to their 6K Dragon sensor when it was released in 2013. RED cameras also retain their resale value as seen with their RED One MX; released in 2006 and is still selling for $4,000 on average.
The only real downside is the workflow can be complicated for newer users and one must become familiar with the RED environment (Similar to say, adapting between a Mac and PC.) Also, many RED accessories are proprietary meaning you have to buy in to their technical ecosystem. This is a camera worth getting your hands on due to it being built with the latest technology and cinematic imaging in mind.

Seems like it's time to take a look at the first beauty favourites for 2017…
I'm starting off with two skincare products that help my winter skin look brighter and fresher. Herbina is a Finnish brand and I love trying products from Scandinavian brands because I always expect them to know how to deal with dull skin and often the ingredients are a bit more natural. Luckily, I have a wonderful friend who always sends me different products from Finland to try. The Herbina Energy Boost Energising Peeling Cream contains Orange Flower Water, Sweet Almond Oil, lots of Vitamin C and Vitamin E. I like using it a couple of times a week in the morning because it feels refreshing, doesn't strip my skin and leaves it radiant and really soft. The formula is plant-based, the granules in the cream are very gentle and biodegradable.
I talked about the Bio-Beauté by Nuxe Vitamin-Rich Detox Mask with Orange Water in my Skincare Update post here and I just want to say one more time that it is a good one to use in the winter when the skin is lackluster and dehydrated. It's very easy to use and rinse, it feels refreshing and calming, the pot is travel-friendly, so I might be taking it along with me when I travel and need to bring back the radiance to my skin.
My love for Eucerin has been confessed so many times on the blog but I haven't mentioned any of their products in a long time simply because they are now a permanent and just normal part of my routine. However, it looks like there is only one product from their DermoPURIFYER range that I haven't tried before. I have no idea how I've missed their DermoPURIFYER Toner, considering how much I love the whole range. The toner is formulated with Lactic Acid which is without a doubt the best acid for my skin, it unclogs the pores without drying my face, it's so gentle and yet, so effective. I've been using the toner for about three weeks and the difference was visible almost immediately.
One of the most affordable and at the same time, lovely serums I've ever tried has to be this Superdrug Clearly Youthful Resurfacing Night Serum. I'm still frustrated I have only one bottle of it because it's another product with Lactic Acid that does wonders for me. My skin looks clearer and brighter but also, hydrated and this serum is one of the reasons for that.
Rodial Dragon's Blood Eye Masks are seriously good. I often struggle with dry under eye area but in the winter it can get really bad. These patches have a cooling effect but also brightening, de-puff, plumping and hydrating properties, thanks to the Arnica Extract, Hyaluronic Acid and Dragon's Blood. I was surprised by how smooth and soft the gentle skin under my eyes got after removing these. There is a lot of serum left in the pack after using the eye masks, so I tend to decant it into a small pot and use it before applying my regular eye cream. It lasts ages and it doesn't ruin the rest of my skincare and makeup. I love the moisturiser from the same range, the eye masks are quite pricey, considering you get 8 sachets and one of mine (so far) came with only one patch inside instead of two but I got it with a pretty big discount and I really like the effect.
Another essential for me during the cold winter days has been the Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil. I'm not sure what took me so long to get it and fall in love with it, considering I adore the Lip Perfectors but here I am with my half-empty bottle of it. I was passing by my local beauty store, went inside to purchase something, the lady told me they had a good offer on the lip oils and I started wondering if I should take the Honey or the Red Berry one. At the end, I picked up the Raspberry shade because it just smelled so good. The oils are plant-based and simply gorgeous. They come with a big and soft applicator, the texture is like honey, the scents are divine, the moisturising properties are what surprised me the most. My lips feel soothed, nourished, smooth and soft after just one application, thanks to the organic Jojoba, Mirabelle Oil, Hazelnut Oil and Raspberry Oil (this one is only for the shade I got). It doesn't really look red on my lips, it's more of a sheer pink tint and I just can't say enough good words about it.
This MAC x Mariah Carey Powder Blush in Sweet Sweet Fantasy* may look appropriate for spring rather than winter days but it makes me look a bit more healthy and fresh with its peachy tones and that's exactly what I need at the moment.
If you're looking for a budget highlighter that looks natural and beautiful, try the MUA Luxe Glow Beam Liquid Highlight Cushion. It delivers a soft radiance that isn't too out there for the office, for example and blends like a dream.
My favourite fragrance for this month has to be La Petite Robe Noire EDP Intense from Guerlain. You can read my full review on it here, it's more on the sweet side but still remains elegant and chic.
These are the beauty products I've been loving and using the most lately and it's hard to believe that February is just around the corner.

The Way to Paradise
Faber & Faber, 2004 - Painters - 424 pages
The Way to Paradise interweaves the story of the painter Paul Gauguin with that of his grandmother, Flora Tristan. In 1844, Flora embarked on a tour of France to campaign for workers' and women's rights. In 1891, her grandson set sail for Tahiti, determined to escape civilisation and seek out inspiration to paint his primitive masterpieces. Flora died before her grandson was born, but their travels and obsessions unravel side by side in this absorbing novel.
A rare study of passion, ambition and the determined pursuit of greatness in the face of illness, death and conservative forces, The Way to Paradise shows Mario Vargas Llosa at the peak of his powers.

Simple puff pastry
Do you remember these delightful ideas for folding puff pastry? This pastry dough is a miracle and the biggest accomplishment of French cooks. It's buttery in taste and fluffy, delicate and perfect for almost any baked recipe that is destined to impress. While this simple puff pastry is not as good as the original French recipe, it skips all that butter drama and difficulty, which will be a plus for less advanced cooks! Lightly knead the dough, let it rest in the refrigerator for some time and roll in one session.
Yogurt drink
Drinking yogurt is a terrific drink for autumn — it tastes fresh, contains probiotic bacteria and makes a great dessert or a quick snack, not only during autumn. But during this time of the year it is especially important to keep the natural defense high against viruses and bacteria, and yoghurt is a superb ally in that! Did I mention it tastes great? ;-)
This recipe came to life when I was left with no fresh milk after a short travel — I had only one mini-bottle of a drinkable probiotic yogurt and some condensed milk for coffee (sic!). But against all odds, it worked out!
Tuna paste bento
Tuna paste is ridiculously easy to prepare and makes a great no cooking bento, cutting the preparation time to less than 20 minutes, including rice cooking time! Now, that's what I would call cooking on the go! You can also use the tuna paste for a great tasting onigiri or sushi.

Construction is nearing completion at the 43-story, 391-unit Met Square apartment tower, where several historic elements will be on display. Met Square was designed by NBWW Architects from Coral Gables.
At two opposite corners of the property, there are historic Tequesta Indian circles on display to the public, one of which is outdoors. The other is in a glass enclosed gallery and exhibit area.
Also on display will be some of Miami's more recent history. A Fort Dallas well from the 19th Century will be visible through glass, while a plaza in between Met Square and Met 1 is to have elements from the Royal Palm Hotel, which opened in 1897. The original Miami River shoreline will be marked in the plaza.
A glass-enclosed observation area of a Tequesta Indian circle is located in front:

It is time to say goodbye to the country which I have called home for the past three months and the wonderful people I have met along the way.
Before I get to the emotional stuff though I fill you in a little on how I spent my last weeks. My last two trips of this adventure were Ireland and Spain and I took both countries on in just under a week and a half. In Ireland I stayed with a girl from WOU who I had never met until I was in London and she in Ireland. So crazy how those things happened. We got along very well and I loved exploring the country she has been calling home. It was absolutely beautiful and I could definitely see myself living there someday. Spain was my last trip and once again I was going it alone. It ended up being a wonderful experience, despite not wanting to go due to exhaustion and a small stomach flu. The hostel I stayed at had so many activities to get involved in which allowed me to meet a lot of people. Although I had made this trip "alone" I never felt alone thanks to all the friends I had made in just a few short days. Both of these trips were the perfect end to the adventure of a lifetime.
To say this experience has changed me would be a complete understatement. I have grown in ways I never would have imagined and cannot say how thankful I am to have been able to have this experience. Packing up your things and moving to a new country for a few months is not easy and there were times when I thought I wouldn't end up getting on my plane. But I did, and I am so incredibly glad I made that leap of faith. I have met so many amazing people from not only London but all of the other places I have been as well. People are much more friendly than we often believe. You just have to work up the courage to say hello. I used to be afraid of being alone, but in these past few months I have explored the world (mostly) on my own and now I feel like I can take on anything. The memories I have made are unforgettable and these people will forever hold a special place in my heart.
When I first arrived I could not wait to go home and now I would give anything to have just a few more days. I wouldn't change a thing about this trip. There were definitely some not so great moments but the good ones outweigh them tenfold. Thank you for being my temporary home. Goodbye London. Or rather, see you later.

Response from Joy Ufema, RN, MS: Thank you for the opportunity to respond. For some dying patients, there comes a time when the suffering is existential and no clergy, thanatologist, or parish nurse can help. Why would any compassionate caregiver let someone in that condition remain in agony until death mercifully comes, when we have it in our power to sedate and let him die peacefully? A dying patient with intractable physical or psychic pain needs our advocacy.
