Genetic abnormalities in epithelial and telomere-associated genes contribute to the development of lung fibrosis http://ow.ly/dx1q30aCL4V
In 1980, the question "Is there a fibrotic gene?" was posed in an editorial [1] commenting on a report about pulmonary fibrosis in monozygotic twins. Over the next 37 years, the identification of kindreds of families with pulmonary fibrosis and advances in DNA sequencing provided answers to this question. An early example of a gene associated with pulmonary fibrosis involved a case of familial pulmonary fibrosis (FPF) that was linked to a heterozygous mutation in the surfactant protein C (SFTPC) gene, which is expressed predominantly by alveolar type-II (ATII) cells in the lung [2]. This was followed by reports that mutations in other ATII cell associated genes (ABCA3 and SFTPA) had been identified in patients with FPF. Similarly, candidate gene and whole-genome linkage scanning approaches identified mutations in TERT and TERC, two genes required for telomere maintenance, in kindreds of pulmonary fibrosis patients. These findings were followed by the association of other genes involved in telomere maintenance (DKC1, RTEL1, PARN, TIN2, and NAF1) to FPF. Overall, mutations in these ten ATII cell and telomere associated genes are predicted to account for up to 25% of genes associated with FPF [3, 4], which can present as different clinical syndromes including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis, interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features, or idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia [5, 6].
The genetic risk for developing sporadic IPF, an age-associated, progressive fibrotic lung disease characterised histopathologically by the usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern of lung fibrosis, has also been studied. A large genome-wide association study consisting of 1616 patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, the majority of whom had IPF, linked common variants of several genes (including MUC5B, TERT, TERC, DSP, OBFC1 and DPP9) to the development of IPF [7]. A second genome-wide association study in IPF patients confirmed the association of MUC5B and identified variants to the TOLLIP gene. Similarly, mutations in the ABCA3, SFTPC and SFTPA genes were linked to cases of sporadic IPF [8]. Of these genes, MUC5B has the most robust linkage to IPF and has been confirmed in at least 10 independent studies [9]. Nevertheless, not all individuals with the common variants associated with IPF acquire the disease. This implies additional factors, such as environmental exposure, smoking [10] or aging [11], are also important for disease development.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are at increased risk for pulmonary fibrosis, with up to 40% developing the disease [12, 13]. The predominant radiographic and histopathologic pattern of fibrosis is the UIP pattern and, as with IPF patients, the survival rate of patients with RA-UIP is poor, averaging 3–5 years from diagnosis [14]. These similar histopathologic and epidemiologic features give rise to the obvious question of whether the molecular mechanisms of pulmonary fibrosis in RA-UIP are similar, or even identical, to those occurring in patients with a UIP pattern of pulmonary fibrosis in other clinical contexts, such as IPF. Considering these relationships, Juge et al. [15] performed whole exome sequencing on 101 patients with RA-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD), of whom 65% had a UIP pattern of disease, and their results are published in this issue of the European Respiratory Journal. Restricting their analysis to nine genes linked to FPF, they found mutations in the TERT, RTEL1, PARN or SFTPC coding regions in 11.9% of patients with RA-ILD. However, no mutations were found in the ABCA3, SFTPA2, TERC, DKC1 or TINF2 genes. Seven of the mutations were novel and, although their functional significance needs to be confirmed by biochemical assay, patients with mutations in the TERT, RTEL1 or PARN genes were also found to have short telomeres in their peripheral blood leukocytes, suggesting that the mutations are biologically relevant.
A pattern has emerged in the genes linked to cases of pulmonary fibrosis, whereby the linked genes are predominantly associated with lung epithelial cells and telomere maintenance. One limitation of the study by Juge et al. [15] is that analysis was restricted to candidates already associated with FPF, potentially missing other relevant genes. Therefore, whether additional variants in genes such as MUC5B, which lies outside the exome, can be linked to RA-ILD will require further analysis. Conversely, their findings are remarkable because they identified relevant mutations in nearly 12% of patients, a high percentage for such a limited analysis. Nonetheless, the highlighted genetic studies address the question posed 37 years ago of whether there is a fibrosis gene. Intriguingly, the answer appears not to be that "there is a fibrosis gene", but rather that genetic abnormalities in epithelial and telomere-associated genes contribute to the development of fibrosis. These associations strongly suggest that although the clinical syndromes manifest as fibrosis, the diseases origins are epithelial cell and telomere dysfunction.
There are ongoing efforts to determine how the biological effects of rare mutations or common variants contribute to the development of pulmonary fibrosis. Mouse models have been used to test this. For example, modelling telomere dysfunction by isolated deletion of the shelterin proteins capping telomeres in mouse type-II alveolar epithelial cells (AECII) leads to AECII senescence, stem cell failure, lung remodelling and fibrosis, confirming that telomere dysfunction alone can cause lung fibrosis [16–18]. In contrast, modelling SFTPC gene mutations in mice [19] does not lead directly to lung fibrosis. Rather, it sensitises the animal to other profibrotic stimuli such as bleomycin. These findings suggest that some genetic mutations do not directly cause fibrosis, but rather increase an individual's susceptibility to it. In all modelling of the genetic variants, one element that cannot be replicated in a similar fashion to that in humans is time. Patients with pulmonary fibrosis acquire their genetic risk at birth; however, lung fibrosis typically requires decades to develop. How the passage of time contributes to the development of fibrosis remains unknown. Possible explanations include a lifetime of exposure to environmental insults such as pollution, infections or tobacco smoke, which has been shown to increase the risk for development of FPF, IPF and RA-ILD [10, 20, 21]. In the context of autoimmune diseases such as RA, another possibility is that the pro-inflammatory background of these diseases synergize with the mutant proteins to cause lung fibrosis. It is also conceivable that molecular changes that occur during "normal" biological ageing, such as mitochondrial dysfunction, changes in DNA methylation or loss of proteostasis, synergize with the mutant proteins to cause lung fibrosis [11, 22]. These and other possibilities require further study, either in relevant patient populations or unique models of pulmonary fibrosis that reliably model gene-environment interactions.
An endotype is a disease subtype defined by a distinct functional or molecular mechanism. There has been recent interest in considering whether molecular endotyping can be used to classify cases of pulmonary fibrosis [23]. Although there is scant evidence supporting this approach, the article by Juge et al., reporting mutations in the genes of RA-ILD patients which have been identified in other forms of pulmonary fibrosis (including IPF, hypersensitivity pneumonitis and idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonitis) [5, 6], provides additional evidence that it may be time to reconsider current classification schemes using molecular data such as genetic risk or telomere length. Asthma is an example where endotyping has been used successfully to dichotomise patients into the clinically meaningful TH2 high or TH2 low molecular subsets [24]. However, unlike asthma, which splits a uniform clinical phenotype into two molecular endotypes, the phenotype of pulmonary fibrosis has already been divided into "endotypes" using histopathologic and clinical criteria. Therefore, the molecular endotyping of pulmonary fibrosis patients would require the study of pulmonary fibrosis patients across consensus clinical diagnoses, seeking to identify whether they share common molecular origins. One collection of patients that could be studied as a group, regardless of clinical diagnosis, is those with a UIP pattern of lung fibrosis. Identifying molecular commonalities that extend beyond clinical classification schema, either in total or by histopathologic subsets, may lead to new insights into disease pathogenesis.
Genetic analysis of pulmonary fibrosis has expanded the understanding of risks for the development of these diseases and redirected attention to the importance of epithelial cell and telomere dysfunction as drivers of the disease process. Nevertheless, the mutations and variants identified to date do not fully explain the risk for developing pulmonary fibrosis. More work needs to be done to identify additional genes linked to FPF, IPF, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, or pulmonary fibrosis associated with RA or scleroderma. In the context of these variants, how environmental exposures or comorbidities such as RA contribute to the development of lung fibrosis needs to be investigated. Such studies will inform the debate on whether or not the theme of epithelial cell and telomere dysfunction persists as a central driver of lung fibrosis regardless of the clinical context, and whether or not there are distinct molecular subtypes that span the current classification of disease subsets.

Mosquitoes love my skin. Every summer, I feel like a human bug light. I draw the mosquitoes in–in fact, I am a personal shield for anyone sitting next to me. The mosquitoes flock to me and leave everyone else alone. So, now with summer right around the corner, I have been trying to decide the best way to keep my skin skeeter-free.
I ran across an article on NPR a while back that ranked the effectiveness of different commercial applications. The general consensus was that products containing DEET, Picardin, and/or IR3535 were the most effective. Though, for the non-chemical route, oil of lemon eucalyptus seemed to do the trick pretty effectively too. Funnily, Victoria Secret's perfume, Bombshell, has proven to be a pretty effective skeeter deterrent. I personally have never been able to wear perfume–it drives me bonkers, so that one is out for me.
I could just cover up with clothing, avoiding chemicals altogether. Loose clothing is best, according to experts in the NPR article. Sorry active wear folks, but spandex is apparently mosquito friendly. The little beggars have a pretty easy time of noshing right through those tight yoga pants. Thick, tough fabrics, loose long sleeves and pants are best–which kind of sounds like a nightmare in the middle of summer, unless the nights cool off significantly.
Ultimately, the bites are a mere nuisance compared to the potential Zika virus the skeeters could pass on. Flu-like symptoms in the middle of summer? No, thank you.
So, I guess I'll consider this blog my own informal study…what do YOU use to keep the mosquitoes away? How often do you re-apply?

Research fellow unlocking new ways to boost myelin repair
The brain is able to repair the damage wrought by the immune system in the early stages of MS in a process known as remyelination.
However, once a person enters the progressive stage of MS, this process does not work as well, and disability accumulates over time due, in part, to a lack of repair to the damaged myelin. Dr Jessica Fletcher at the University of Melbourne was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship in 2015 with funding support from the Trish MS Research Foundation and the MS Angels which aimed to overcome this lack of repair by increasing myelin production in the brain.
Dr Fletcher's research concentrated on the brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a molecule known to be involved in myelin repair in the myelin-producing cells. BDNF works within a biological pathway and she specifically looked at other molecules involved in this pathway to see whether she can promote myelin repair. Now at the end of her first year Dr Fletcher has made substantial progress in achieving her aims.
Dr Fletcher has concentrated on the role of molecules which are switched on in response to activation of BDNF in myelin producing cells, known as Erk1/2. Dr Fletcher used animal models of an MS-like illness to show that activation of Erk1/2 was important for natural repair of myelin and further that increasing the signalling through the Erk1/2 pathway promoted the myelin repair. In a separate series of experiments, Dr Fletcher has also started to determine the underlying mechanisms used by Erk1/2 at a molecular level, to try to understand the way that myelin repair is regulated.
This work is important since identifying the way myelin is repaired at a cellular level will provide new targets for the treatment for progressive MS, to promote myelin repair, prevent nerve damage and halt MS disease progression in these cases. In a validation of the importance of her findings, Dr Fletcher has already presented her results at a number of national and international conferences with several more presentations planned for 2016. We await her formally published findings with great interest.

Title update introducing a number of features requested by fans to Capcom's latest title in the renowned third-person shooter.
Capcom has released a new title update for the Resident Evil 6, which will resolve a number of issues that the fans have been complaining about since the game's launch in October, 2012, for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
The latest offering in the Resident Evil series received somewhat mixed reviews, with a number of journalist and gamers criticising the game's camera, which did not give the best view of action and surroundings.
This particular issue became evident as the game's first gameplay footage was revealed. The fans of the franchise, however, expected the camera issue to be resolved before its release, but that did not turn out to be the case.
Consequently, the gamers started complaining and sending requests to the Resident Evil maker to do something about the camera as it was proving to a real turn-off.
Much to the relief of the fans, Capcom has finally release an update that will allow players to adjust the camera to give the best possible field of view that suits their play style.
Another feature that the title update has added to Resident Evil 6 is the availability of Ada Wong's campaign right from the start of the game instead of the player having to complete the other three campaigns to unlock Ada's story.
Furthermore, Ada's campaign will also feature support for a human-controller co-op partner.
The much-awaited 'No Hope' difficulty level has also finally arrived, much to the joy of the hardcore gamers who are looking for a greater level of challenge than before.
Another title update for Resident Evil 6 is also in the pipeline, which will make the Agent Hunt mode available from the start of the game, while a few other adjustments will also be made.
While Capcom is actively working on improving the Resident Evil 6 experience by releasing regular title updates, it is also looking to keep the experience fresh and attempting to make it even more enticing through downloadable content (DLC), the first of which is all set to hit Xbox Live sometime this week.
The first post-launch DLC for the Xbox 360 version of the game will introduce three new multiplayer modes, namely Predator, Survivor and Onslaught mode, whereas the Siege mode that the company had revealed a couple of months back will be arriving with the next DLC sometime later.
Capcom's latest Resident Evil game has failed to satisfy the huge fan-base of the franchise yet again, though the company is putting in a great deal of effort and allocating significant resources to increase the appeal of the game and make the experience it offers more satisfying.

J. Archie Peck
Four time U.S.C.A. National Singles Champion, twice National Doubles Champion, scratch golfer, club champion tennis player, world class surfer, past Jai Alai professional, expert snow and water skier are but a few of the many talents of a man who could well be called the Athlete of the Year — Any Year.
"Silky Legs" J. Archie Peck has been on the forefront of modern Croquet in the United states since its inception. A native Floridian, graduate of the University of Florida, Archie is president of John Peck Real Estate on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach. His warm personality and acute business acumen has helped him maintain his father's realty business as the leading Real Estate firm in Palm Beach.
On the Croquet side of his life, Archie began his career at the Palm Beach Croquet Club founded by Joe Tankoos and under Joe's guidance became the President of the club in the early '70's. Initially play was held at the Colony Hotel then moved to The Breakers Hotel where The Palm Beach Croquet Club now has its permanent home. As past and current President of one of the oldest and largest Croquet clubs in America, Archie has been instrumental in the creation of the U.S.C.A. and The Croquet Foundation of America. His past term as President of the Croquet Foundation serves as an ongoing testimony to his love and dedication to the sport.
From the competitive aspect Archie Peck has been one of the winningest players to ever grace a Croquet Court. Four National Singles Titles and two National Doubles Titles alone speak for themselves yet since the days of the first East Coast Singles Championship against Jack Osborn on Lil Phipps' rolling Palm Beach Estate to his recent victory in both Singles and Doubles in the 1984 Southern Regional Championship not many Croquet events, from Bermuda to Phoenix, Arizona, have been unattended by Archie nor have many Croquet titles eluded him.
His casual manner, stylishly easy Irish-grip swing and deadly accuracy on the particularly critical last shots of a match have vaulted him into the winner's circle more times than can be mentioned here.
Deeply tanned and usually clad in crisp, top of the line tennis whites, most often shorts (hence the name "silky legs" dubbed by a woman writer in the Miami Herald) Archie cuts one of the handsomest and most dashing figures on the court, any court.
When we sum it all up: Baseball may have its Babe Ruth, Football may have it O.J. Simpson, Golf has its Jack Nicklaus, and Tennis has its Rod Laver — That is all right because we have our Archie Peck!
Archie, welcome to the United States Croquet Hall of Fame.
J. Archie Peck was inducted into the United States Croquet Hall of Fame in 1984.

Pasta E Cici Soup
By á-4010
The combination of pasta and legumes is a perennial favorite in Roman cuisine. In this rustic soup, ceci beans (also known as chickpeas or garbanzos) are paired with tender pasta and bathed in a hearty broth—delicious proof that the simple can be sublime.
- 3 Tbs. plus 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 carrots, finely diced
- 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
- 1/3 cup diced tomato
- 1 1/4 cups dried chickpeas, soaked in water overnight, drained and rinsed
- 6 cups water
- 2 fresh thyme sprigs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 fresh rosemary sprigs, cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 1/2 lb. tubetti pasta, cooked until al dente and drained
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for serving
Servings 4
Step 1
In a 3 1/2-quart Dutch oven over medium heat, warm the 3 Tbs. olive oil. Add the carrots and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Add the chickpeas, water and thyme sprigs, increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until the chickpeas are tender, about 1 hour. Remove and discard the thyme sprigs.
Meanwhile, in a small sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm the vegetable oil. Add the rosemary and fry, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season lightly with salt.
Strain the chickpea mixture through a colander, reserving the cooking liquid. Place 2 cups of the chickpea mixture in a wide, shallow bowl and mash until almost smooth. Transfer to a large fry pan. Add the remaining chickpea mixture and 1 cup of the cooking liquid and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the pasta and the 1/2 cup olive oil and stir until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
Ladle the soup into warmed bowls, and garnish with the fried rosemary and cheese shavings. Serve immediately

Win Your Weight loss Battle By Equipping Yourself With Tips
You may, like many other people, not be someone who is naturally physically fit. If you don't know where to begin, it's hard to begin a regimen. The right advice can really help you out. The following advice will show you how to start becoming more fit right away.
Put together a workout routine that you enjoy enough to stick to. If you pick a routine that you find enjoyable, you will feel like you can't wait to work out.
Plant a garden at your home. Many are surprised that creating a gardening is hard. For example, a garden requires weeding, digging and a lot of squatting. Gardening is one activity that can help you get fit at home.
Investing in a personal trainer is a wise investment if you can afford it. Your personal trainer will give you ideas on what to do to stay with your workout regime. Make sure that a personal trainer is right for you before you hire one.
If your exercise routine requires you to keep count of your reps, try starting from the number you desire to hit and count backwards. Counting backwards gives you a clearer picture of how many reps you have remaining, and keeps you motivated to finish.
Try testing out a bench before you work out with it. Check the padding on the bench by putting pressure on the seat with your thumb. If you feel the wooden or metal base beneath, look for another bench.
One way to improve the efficiency of your exercise routine is by stretching the muscle you are working on between each set. The idea behind stretching muscles you've just worked on is that you can increase your strength by adding to your ability to build muscle through increased circulation. However, because your muscles are already tired this type of stretching should be carefully considered to avoid injury of tired muscles. Incorporating stretches into a strength training workout in this fashion can, according to studies, boost results by as much as 20%. It also helps to prevent injuries and lesions.
You don't need to feel guilty while watching tv, you can still exercise while you watch your favorite shows. Whenever a commercial comes on, do some quick exercises. This way you can watch your favorite shows and work toward becoming more fit.
Trying doing some donkey calf raises in order to build up the muscles in your calf. They're a unique and effective way to make your calves stronger. A partner is helpful to lay on and help you to raise your calves.
Consider volunteering for a physical community service job to help reach your fitness goals. Many volunteers are needed for physical jobs. This allows you to become more fit while accomplishing something for your community.
Using weight barbell squats are a great way to build muscle. Squats are a great form of exercise because they work multiple muscle groups in your body. They also temporarily increase your body's production of a growth hormone that is necessary for increasing your body mass.
Help out at any fitness related events that your child's school holds. This will demonstrate to your child that you take fitness seriously. Doing this might encourage people to get involved.
Whenever you begin any fitness routine, it is best that you schedule an appointment to see your doctor. Your doctor's advice will be very important, especially if you are unhealthy or have health problems. You may be in good shape already, but tour doctor can still provide some great advice.
Adhere to the advice offered if you want to get serious about fitness. Although it may seem like it's taking time to get into shape, if you stick with it soon you will see the results that you are seeking. By getting into shape, you are ensuring your vitality and spirituality for a long time.

Our Other Military Heroes
In times of trouble, we all know our dogs will protect our families, our homes, and us, but did you know military dogs are also protecting our country and our troops, who are serving in harm's way? Military working dogs have served their country in the Iraq War, sniffing for IED's, among other dangerous jobs. These brave military service dogs are also currently working in the War in Afghanistan and in the greater War on Terror.Credit: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Belgian_Shepherd_Malinois_on_top_of_tank.jpg
Support the Cause of Hardworking and Loyal Military Dogs
The same way our human troops need support from the home front, so do our canine troops. Search the Internet for charitable organizations that support these outstanding canines. Read about the many programs, and decide which one(s) you'd like to participate in and actively support. Below, I've listed some basic ways you can get started supporting these special four-legged heroes.
One cute side note I'd like to share – all dogs serving in the military have an official military rank.
Purchase Canine Related Supplies to Support Military Dogs Serving Overseas
Credit: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:K-9_Andy.jpg
Programs that collect supplies from donors will list on their websites what items and supplies handlers need most for their canine partners. Certain provisions help these special service dogs do their jobs more effectively as well as improve their quality of life while they're serving their country. The military has certain requirements, so please check the specifications before sending anything.
Donate Money to Organizations Who Support Military Dogs
Credit: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Working_dog_in_Afghanistan,_wearing_a_bulletproof_vest,_clears_a_building.jpg
Some charities accept cash donations of any amount to help fund the good works they're doing for these devoted working dogs. Examples of good works include: raising money to purchase cooling vests, which helps to keep these brave canines cooler in the hot summer months. There are other programs, which help fund the cost of Kevlar, so these heroes can benefit from this protection in the form of a vest. Monetary contributions to these organizations, which support these hardworking dogs, are always appreciated and needed to keep these wonderful programs running.
Adopt Retired Military Dogs
Credit: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:081102-F-7792W-037.JPG
Just as our soldiers retire from the military, so do these dedicated service dogs. Another way you can support these faithful and patriotic canines is to adopt these retired military dogs after they've completed their service to their country. Like anything else related to government and the military, there's a procedure to be followed when adopting military working dogs. When a dog 'retires', and is ready to be adopted, the handlers have first choice to adopt these retired military dogs, followed by police jurisdictions, and then the civilian population. Additionally, puppies who do not qualify to become military working dogs are also available for adoption.
Military Dogs Deserve Our Thanks and Support
We honor our American Flag. We honor all the members of our Armed Services – the Air Force, the Army, the Coast Guard, the Marines, and the Navy – who protect us, who defend us, and who keep our Flag of freedom flying proudly. So, let's not forget to honor our military dogs, who help our troops to ensure that we never loose the American Dream created by our Founding Fathers.

Independent Public SchoolSubiaco Primary School
Subiaco Primary School was selected to become an Independent Public School in 2011.
In collaboration with the school community, as an Independent Public School, Subiaco Primary School has set our strategic direction, through the Subiaco Primary Business Plan 2017-2019.
In order to operate with more autonomy, as an Independent Public School we are afforded a number of flexibilities. These include selection of teaching and non teaching staff and management of finances though a one line budget.
Although we are called an Independent Public School, we remain part of the public school system. Like all public schools, Subiaco Primary School is obliged to comply with relevant legislation, industrial agreements and whole of government policies and initiatives.
As part of the Federal Government initiative to promote Independent Public Schools, Subiaco Primary School was one of three Western Australian schools selected to demonstrate how the IPS initiative has positively impacted schools. The two minute clip can be viewed Here.
Independent Primary Schools Review
In July 2016, Subiaco Primary School underwent an extensive review by the Department of Education Services. The purpose of this independent Review was to provide an assurance to the Minister for Education, the Director General of Education and the school community on the extent to which the school has met its commitments as outlined in its Delivery and Performance Agreement (DPA) and associated Business Plan.

Ahead of the game in industrial digital media players, DVD players, and interactive digital solutions, Videotel Digital announces the launch of a new player. Named as the HD2600 XDthe newest industrial grade looping DVD player is on point with digital age industrial technology. This DVD player is not only commercial grade but it is additionally designed for rugged 24/7 seamless auto playback. Instead of using what's known as membrane switches, the HD2600 XD has a convenient, newer face plate technology.
Referred to by Videotel Digital as "Touch Panel" the new feature is much like the technology used on smartphones. With a simplified settings menu with all previously adjustable functions now automated, and the bullet proof success rate of instantaneous auto play, the new industrial DVD player sets new standards. An upgraded version of Videotel's legacy HD2600 DVD player, the new design adds to convenience exponentially. Instead of four modes to trigger auto start and auto repeat, the company has narrowed it to only two in addition to a manual mode. With additional upgraded features, the new DVD player will by pass menus and previews and instantly play the main feature of a movie in Title Mode.
"We're thrilled to roll this new product out especially to those who are already delighted with the legacy version. Now, features like auto start, auto loop and multiple start up screens – black or blue – will do nothing but add to the usability. It even has an upgraded remote that's larger, has more range, and uses a standard AAA instead of a watch battery." said Lisa Schneider, Videotel Digital's VP of Sales & Marketing

Money on Ads as an InfluencerFebruary 16, 2018 digital marketing, Facebook, Influencer, Influencer Martketing, Instagram, marketing, marketing numérique, PR, Social media, Youtube Tags: Authenticity, Influencers, Instagram, Instagram Ads, Marketing Strategies, Micro Influencers, middle influencer, Personal Branding, strategie
Should influencers use ads to promote themselves? And if so, should they use Facebook or Instagram? The answer we get from most influencers is simply "I'm not sure, I don't use ads myself." On our end, we think that when an influencer uses ads the right way, it can grow their account, teach them a new skill and allow them to remain as genuine as ever.
Tip #1: Promote a Project
Most influencers agree that it would be bizarre to promote a personal profile on social media. Somehow it wouldn't look totally right if a friend sponsored a post of their night out in the city. However, it would make sense to see ads for a foodie influencer's quest to explore the best ice cream parlors of Montreal.
It's a very common practice to use sponsored ads to promote projects or posts that can stand on their own without an individual's brand behind them. Although you would be running this project, it would have its own brand and to followers it would almost seem completely independent.
So the project can be promoted while the reach of your more personal posts remain organic. Don't worry about having to think of new ideas, it's very easy to choose what you want to promote from your existing posts.
Tip #2: Create a Separate Page for Your Project
Whether this is on Facebook or on Instagram, there are so many successful pages that have been started by influencers. In many cases, it's only after a page gained popularity that the person who started it began to grow their personal brand.
Instagram or Facebook? It's really up to you. For most of you, Instagram is your main platform and where you have influencer experience. For this reason, we recommend Instagram, but if Facebook is your preferred platform, then go with Facebook.
The first followers on your new page will be the fans you already have on your main account, but as daily ads help you grow the page, you'll be able to have two different audiences following your content.
Now you can see how these two completely different pages will both grow on their own. As we've mentioned above, it isn't necessary to create a new page to successfully use ads. Many influencer accounts will be very focused on their niche and will produce content that isn't too personal and very promotable.
Tip #3: Link Your Project Page to Your Profile
You might have guessed this one already. If the bio in your project mentions your main influencer account, some of those people that follow the project will also begin following you.
With a second page, you're now reaching two different audiences. If you've read our post about pricing yourself as an influencer, you'll remember that views on all your pages should be added up during collabs. Having that extra page with more views is another advantage of separating your content.
We do believe that this is genuine influencer marketing. IG only shows people the sponsored post when they know there's going to be an interest towards it. And all of those who decide to follow you are definitely more interested than the rest.
Why not experiment with the idea? With a bit of extra time on your hands and creativity to produce the content, it's a great opportunity! For one last extra tip we suggest you begin with a budget that won't hurt your wallet. Try 3$ per day at first. Keep learning and testing and see where your new page can go!

At least he didn't play favorites. Former Mizuho International investment banker Thomas Ammann tipped both of his two girlfriends to privileged information regarding Dutch photocopier maker Oce, British prosecutors said.
Mr. Ammann, a German banker living in London, shared information regarding an impending deal with Canon with his two girlfriends—Christina Weckwerth, a divorcee he met on an Internet dating site and Jessica Mang, a chiropractor he met in a nightclub, according to Bloomberg. Ms. Weckwerth doubled her million pound investment, and Ms. Mang made 26,000 pounds on the deal.
"Each of these women considered that Thomas Ammann was their boyfriend and they had no idea of the existence of the other," prosecutor Amanda Pinto told the jury in the trial of the two women, according to the Daily Mail:
Ammann was one of just seven bankers at the London offices of Japanese bank Mizuho who knew about the deal before it was announced, Southwark Crown Court heard. Prosecutor Amanda Pinto QC said Ammann had 'no money to invest' but was armed with "specific, confidential information." She said Ammann pleaded guilty to two counts of encouraging insider dealing and two counts of insider dealing earlier this year and is not before the court.

The Syrian Arab Army has fully liberated Deir ez-Zor city after over three years of ISIS occupation. Much of the city had been liberated following Syria's breaking of the siege of Deir ez-Zor and entering the city on 5 September of this year.
After the subsequent, nearly two months of fighting against the remnants of ISIS and their intentional backers, the last remaining fighters have been crushed.
#BREAKING Syria army captures Deir Ezzor city from Islamic State, monitor says
— AFP news agency (@AFP) November 2, 2017
Deir ez-Zor was the last stronghold of ISIS in Syria and while other pockets of the terrorist group remain, the full liberation of Deir ez-Zor, along with nearby al-Mayadeen, the effective world 'capital' of ISIS, means that the group is essentially destroyed as a battle capable organisation with territory under its illegal occupation.
During the battle to free Deir ez-Zor, Syrian Major General Issam Zahreddine, a man who had become the symbol of the resistance for Syrians, was tragically martyred when he stepped on an ISIS landmine in Deir ez-Zor.
The city's full liberation will be seen as a lasting tribute to a man who helped Syria through her most difficult period in modern history.

Sex and the Church
500 Words
It always ended up here. No matter what was going on at the Firm. No matter who was killing whom in the alleys and on the streets and in the fucking halls of the building he worked in *lived in* … he had this.
He still had this.
The candles burnt down, an inch from the base. A breath and he could smell incense and dust and tears in the air around him.
Angel knelt in the first pew. Alone in the church. Not praying to a God that never answered, not offering himself to a higher power that only used him for a pawn, for a toy. He knelt and he waited for the one being on earth that would look for him here. That would find him here. The one person in his life that knew where to look for him that ever cared to find him, which Angel ever cared to be found by.
Angel closed his eyes. His palms itched to hold denim and skin. His mouth was wet from the need to taste the familiar. His cock was hard. Thick. Slightly warmer than the rest of him. And his mind warred with his body, his demon with his soul.
I come seeking absolution …
Oblivion. Respite.
The sedation of desire and perfect, unholy passion.
Angel didn't have to open his eyes to know Spike was there. He could smell his scent color the air before the doors moved. Tobacco and whiskey and blood moved through dead cells.
He licked his lips and waited. Forever patient for the reality behind the costumes they wore with remarkable ease in front of humans. Endlessly tolerant of the constant war, for the rewards along the way were more than he would ever expect.
"I want you."
Brown eyes on blue. Cotton on denim, where it once was leather on leather. Fingers slid through hair that used to be longer, with a touch that used to be harsher. Harder. But the kiss, the bite was always the same. Tongues twisting. Teeth growing, blue/brown became yellow/gold. Moans became growls, sighs became a low, rumbling purr that vibrated the wood around them.
"Remember when the Priests used to watch us as they died?"
Spike whispered and Angel shook his head. Denied and relived as his hips ground against Spike's and his hands ripped material away from the skin he had to have. Blood ran from their necks down their chests and they fought over who's lips got to follow which flow to find fingers popping buttons and belts and zippers tearing.
Saints stared down from stained glass windows or sculptures or paintings as they writhed. Beautiful demons in a place that burned skin as they stripped and changed. No one else in this world that Angel could do this to, that he could be like this with, that knew him.
"I need you."
Almost unintelligible lost in the sound of skin on skin in the undefiled silence that surrounded them.
"I know."

If you happen to find yourself in Warroad, Minn., and need to rent a car from Enterprise, we have bad news: There's no pick-up location anywhere near the place. That said, there's a great deal of Enterprise Rent-a-Car in the heart and soul of the tiny Midwestern town, as NBC Sports Network viewers will find out this evening.
The 60-year-old car rental brand has put its money and its name behind a new documentary called The Road Through Warroad: Hockeytown USA, which will air at midnight eastern (9 p.m. Pacific time). Cannonball, Enterprise's creative agency of record, produced the film.
As the title makes plain, this is a full-length show about hockey. Specifically, it's about how Warroad, this speck of a town six miles below the Canadian border, has bred more professional hockey players than basically anyplace you can name. Despite its small size (population: 1,778), Warroad has given America over 80 Division I players, five NHL players and seven Olympians. In fact, no Olympic men's hockey team has ever won gold without a player from Warroad.
Which is fascinating, of course, though it doesn't quite answer the question: What does any of this have to do with renting a car?
Well, nothing really—and plenty. Late last year, Enterprise redirected its brand positioning to become a total-transportation-solutions company (more on that below). As part of that strategy, Enterprise also shifted its marketing energies to producing content. It began with Pursuits with Enterprise, a digital magazine heavy on travel and destination topics (which makes sense, since you need a car to do that stuff). Now that content strategy has expanded into film, though the thematic link to cars is far less apparent. Actually, it's not really there.
As Enterprise's vp of North American marketing Lee Broughton explains, the days are gone when a brand like his could get away with making a direct pitch about workaday stuff like Enterprise's friendly service or its choice of midsize sedans. "The brand ideal [now] is to create emotional connections," Broughton said. "You don't just want to know [a brand] to purchase it, you want to experience it. This content does precisely that."
Enterprise has already been an official sponsor of the NHL for seven years, so there's already a link between sport and brand. Even so, a 30-minute documentary is notable, even in the annals of content marketing. Why not just make a short video and stick it on YouTube?
That's sort of how the idea got started. "We didn't set out to create a documentary," Broughton said. Originally, Enterprise had a four-minute short in mind. But as the creative team sorted through all of the footage, it concluded that the human stories were so good that longer form was in order. "We found there was so much more to the story viewers would love to see," is how Cannonball CCO Steve Hunt put it in a prepared statement.
"We were sitting on something that was more than a snackable piece of scroll-through," Broughton explained. Besides, he added, "content for content's sake isn't going to find its way into anyone's heart and mind."
What's driving Enterprise's shift to a content-marketing strategy in the first place? Broughton won't accede to the suggestion that app-driven ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft are cutting into the traditional car rental segment. (In fact, last October, Enterprise Holdings revealed that its revenues from airport rentals were up 10 percent in 2015.) Even so, it's probably no coincidence that Enterprise has fully diversified to offer car sharing and ride sharing. These days, it even sells cars. "We're transcending the category of car rental," Broughton said.
As of today, the company has transcended further—into a kind of arts patron, almost. But alas, the connection to possible transactions is never far off. "It's a natural extension to develop a group of 40 million NHL fans and ice hockey lovers," Broughton said, "into customers of ours."

JOHN KING instinctively reaches for words to acknowledge his good fortune when the subject of his conspicuous achievements as a football manager is brought up.
He says: "I was very lucky to have played and worked under a succession of managers with strong characters and distinctive ideas.
"I learned things from all of them and used bits and pieces of their methods in developing my own style."
King applied those lessons so adeptly that he became the most successful manager in Tranmere Rovers' history.
It is principally for this reason that scores of former players and staff and friends will gather at a dinner on Thursday to honour King's contribution to Tranmere over four decades as a player coach and manager.
During two spells in charge of team affairs at Prenton Park between 1975 and 80, then from 87 to 96 King guided Tranmere to promotion on three occasions and to five Wembley appearances.
In the second spell - when he was able to operate on the platform of financial stability, provided by chairman Peter Johnson - he built the teams that hauled Tranmere up from the foot of the old fourth division to hammer on the doors of the Premiership by reaching the first division promotion play-offs for three successive seasons in the mid-1990s.
They were the years when King was able to draw most effectively from the wisdom he acquired as a player and coach.
The most celebrated of the men to influence King was the late Bill Shankly. A portrait of the great Liverpool manager would gaze back into King's eyes from the wall of his office in the now demolished Valley Road training complex.
But King also speaks of others with great reverence, notably the former Tranmere boss and general manager Dave Russell, ex-Port Vale, Newcastle and Everton boss Gordon Lee and Liverpool's long-serving chief scout Ron Yeats.
The first manager King encountered when signing for Everton as a teenage part-timer in the mid 1950s was Cliff Britton. King remembers: "He was from the old school. I would always spot him lurking in the back of the stand at Goodison dressed in his best suit watching the youth team and amateurs train. He gave me my kick-start in football. I was a part-time player because my parents wanted me to have a proper trade so I was serving time as an apprentice plumber as well as playing for Everton.
One day he came up to me, immaculately dressed as ever and I almost froze in his presence. "He said to me: 'How old are you?' I replied I was 18. He said: 'You will be ready for the first team in 18 months'. And sure enough at 19 I was playing for Everton's first team - and still working on a building site in the week."
King, though slight in stature developed into a tenacious wing-half, became a full-time professional and played around 50 senior games for Everton.
Meanwhile Britton was succeeded briefly by fitness enthusiast John Buchan, then John Carey, who began laying the foundations of the Everton team that would become a major force in the early 1960s.
When Carey signed a pair of talented winghalves called Jimmy Gabriel and Tony Kay, King was advised by team-mate Bobby Collins that his days at Goodison might be numbered. They were.
He was wooed into joining Bournemouth but after six months on the south coast he decided he'd made a mistake and headed back to Merseyside to join Tranmere.
The manager who signed King, Walter Galbraith was quickly succeeded by Russell and King, as club captain, soon found himself in the regular company of one of the shrewdest men he would ever meet in football.
Says King: "He was a very clever man. You could never pull one over Dave Russell. People said he was canny and he was certainly that. Tranmere enjoyed a fair degree of success on the field during Dave's time as manager. At the same time he was the man who started to develop Tranmere Rovers into the modern club we know today. He was the driving force behind the building of the main stand and the upgrading of facilities at Prenton Park."
Russell applied Scottish thrift to Tranmere's expansion plans so arguments with the captain about wages and bonuses for the players were not uncommon. After one such row King found himself transfer-listed.
He left in 1967, conceding he could only learn from a man like Russell, and signed up for another wily operator at Port Vale, Gordon Lee.
On Merseyside Lee is best known for his four years in charge at Everton between 1977 and 81 when he twice came close to leading the club to championship success. But Lee's pragmatic methods and conviction that more could be achieved by hard work than flair did not sit comfortably with some Evertonians.
King remains conviced that Lee's positive virtues far outweighed the negative.
He says: " Gordon Lee knew how to get the best out of what he had available. His teams were perhaps not the best to watch but he knew how to get results. He would not ask a player to do things they were not capable of. We had quality in that Port Vale team but we had success because he kept things simple.
He pulled one stroke that summed up his philosophy perfectly. In those days Port Vale boasted the largest playing area in the Football League. It was a wonderful pitch and frankly we did not have enough of the right kind of players to make the most of it.
"So Gordon's solution was to shorten and narrow the pitch to the minimum measurements required by the Football League. We thrived on it. I know Gordon had his detractors but I'm glad I bumped into him."
After injury forced King to hang up his boots he briefly turned to window cleaning to put food on the table and insists even now that he enjoyed the experience. But it wasn't long before Tranmere came calling again. The new player-boss, Ron Yeats, needed a coach and Russell, by then the club's general manager, recommended King.
He looks back with fondness on an association with the former Liverpool centre-back that lasted more than two years. They made an odd looking couple: Yeats, imposingly broad and looking every inch of his 6ft 3ins, towered above the diminutive King and most of the players in the Tranmere team for that matter.
"What a great figurehead he was for Tranmere," King says. "Ron was still commanding as a player and he had a very powerful presence in the dressing room. Players were a bit in awe of him.
"He brought some great players to this club: Ian St John, Willie Stevenson and Tommy Lawrence from Liverpool. It was a great thrill for me to coach players of that calibre. You had only to ask them to do something once on the training ground and they did it first time."
It was Yeats who initially invited Shankly, recently retired from Liverpool, to oversee Tranmere's training sessions and make some suggestions.
Far from feeling slighted, King was thrilled. He recalls: "I never thought I would get so close to
Bill Shankly. He loved players and he spoke to them with intense enthusiasm.
"He was able to infuse that bit extra into people by the force of his personality and the way he used his words. It was mesmerising. I wasn't one for keeping quiet in those days but I knew it was the time to say very little and listen."
Unhappily for Tranmere, Shankly's visits were only spasmodic and in 1975, with the Liverpool veterans gone and the team sliding towards relegation from division three, Yeats was dismissed by chairman Bill Bothwell.
Not long afterwards, King found ambition conflicting with his strong personal regard for Yeats when he was put in charge on a caretaker basis.
He recalls: "I said to Ron 'is it OK by you if I apply for this job?' and he replied 'yes wee man, go and do it'.
"I still think we could have made a good combination in the long term but Ron has since carved out a wonderful niche for himself at Liverpool."
Shankly provided advice and inspiration throughout King's first full season in management as he led Tranmere to promotion from Division Four. They went up playing the bold attacking football that was to become the trademark of King's teams down the years.
Shankly approved and recommended King to Sheffield Wednesday as the best young manager in the country. Who knows what direction King's career might have taken had he accepted Wednesday's offer. But he turned it down because he believed he had a better group of players to work with at Prenton Park. Many of those men will sit down to dinner with him this week.

The pharmaceutical industry is a $300 Billion industry with depression being the most common diagnosis amongst adults. My dilemma with the medical industry is their push towards over medicating patients. In my opinion, most forms of depression can be cured holistically. Your diet directly impacts your mental and emotional health. Sometimes we need medication BUT most times we need B VITAMINS. Yea, I said it. Because, ya know, food IS medicine. Let me explain.
Without enough B12, for example, you can become tired, weak, constipated, or depressed. And that's just one of the kinds of vitamin B you need. For a big serving of vitamin B12, try clams or tofu.
Feeling blue? These vitamins should work for you! *Poetry snap*
Vitamin B6
Without enough of this B, you may get sick more often and feel depressed or confused. You may also get scaly, cracked lips. You only need a small amount of it each day, though, and most of us get that. If you want to make sure, your best bets are chickpeas, tuna, and — surprise — beef liver.
B1 (Thiamin)
Your body may not absorb enough of this if you often have more than a few drinks. Without it, you may have weakness, fatigue, and even brain damage. It can also lead to psychosis. So get your B1. Enriched rice, trout, and black beans are good sources.
B2 (Riboflavin)
Most Americans get plenty of riboflavin. That's a good thing, because a serious lack of it can damage your liver and nervous system. For the most per bite, eat a big plate of beef liver. Can't do it? Milk, yogurt, and beef are good second choices.
B3 (Niacin)
Niacin helps your digestion, skin, and nerves work the way they should. It also helps change food to energy. You can get it from milk, eggs, rice, and fish. But don't overdo it. Too much can cause liver damage, peptic ulcers, and skin rashes.
(Ya hear that all my employed marijuana indulgers!?! You know why!)
B7 (Biotin)
A lack of B7 can lead to skin rashes, hair loss, high cholesterol, and heart problems. You can find it in cauliflower, salmon, carrots, bananas, soy flour, cereals, and yeast.
Folic Acid (Folate)
This is an important member of the B vitamin family — especially if you're pregnant, because it can help prevent certain birth defects. Whip up some spinach and black-eyed peas to get some in your diet.
Comment below with your go-to meal to kick-start an emotionally vibrant day!
"To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear."

Book Review: "AfroSF: Science Fiction by African Writers"
In the introduction to the anthology the editor, Ivor Hartmann writes:
"If one looks at the last 50 years of publishing in terms of SciFi and African writers, some real gems have never been collected in one volume ... but the vision I had for Afro SF needed to include the forward thinking spirit embodied so well in SciFi as a genre .... SciFi is highly underdeveloped in African literature as a whole ... [it] is the only genre that enables African writers to envision a future from our African perspective".
Science Fiction is a growing genre on the African continent, but it's also not new, take a look for instance at Nick Wood's overview of South African written science or speculative fiction. What Ivor Hartmann has done in Afro SF is bring together a collection of new and original stories and provide a different perspective to this genre. A few months ago, I listened to "Is Science Fiction Coming to Africa?", a radio documentary on BBC World Service. Well, with this introduction Ivor Hartmann shows us just how present Science Fiction is in Africa and sets the pace going for the rest of the anthology.
While South African and Nigerian authors dominate (there are also authors from the Gambia, Kenya, Zimbabwe and the diaspora) Afro SF contains 22 short stories*, which just kept on getting better and better with each story I read. As I read, I kept on thinking how well-written the stories were, but also how well-edited the volume was. I couldn't pick a favourite as this anthology had it all, and I loved it all. In Home Affairs by Sarah Lotz robots have replaced corrupt bureaucratic Africans; in Five Sets of Hands by Cristy Zinn an enslaved race lives on Mars; in Heresy by Mandisi Nkomo there's speculation that the South African government destroyed the spiritual realm; in Masquerade Stories by Chiagozi Fred Nwonwu aliens have been visiting earth for centuries, we just mistook them for something else; in The Trial by Joan De La Haye as the world reached the nine billion mark, the courts have been tasked with deciding which members of the society should live, and which ones should die; and in Brandy City by Mia Arderne brandy is the local currency for certain members of society. Yes, there's time travel, but there's also ancestral spirits, technologial advancements coinciding with a world where old cultures still dominate, a teleporter, intergalactic wars, aliens on earth mating with humans, humans in space mating with aliens, and intergalactic poachers. I'm not sure I'm conveying just how much fun it was reading Afro SF, but I really enjoyed each and every story I read.
It's a whopping 400 pages, but don't be put off - it's worth it. As a fan of Sci-Fi, as I turned each page and read more I couldn't help but smile and feel proud that this wonderful collection of Science Fiction stories was written by African writers. This really is a welcome addition to the genre. So if you're a fan of Science Fiction this anthology is a must-read, and if you're interested in exploring more Science Fiction from an African perspective this is definitely worth the read.
All that's left is for me to say a big thank you to Ivor Hartmann for editing this wonderful anthology and to the authors that contributed to this anthology for keeping me entertained for many hours.
The ebook edition of AfroSF will be released December 2012, with a print edition to follow in 2013. You can find out more about Afro SF here.
*I found out later that Tendai Huchu will also be contributing to the anthology, whose story unfortunately wasn't in the version I received.
4.5 out of 5 stars.

I hope so too. I really did enjoy the anthology as a whole, and all stories were great. And yours - linking the masquerade stories with aliens. That's why I love Sci-Fi - as I said "endless possibilities".Delete
Some science fiction is good why some is mediocre, but that's the same with any area of literatureReplyDelete
This book is looking very interesting to me because I love to read about science fictions. I will try to get a fresh copy of this book and if I can do so, I will read it online.ReplyDelete

Effective Attorney Assistance
In the United States, the American Bar Association (ABA) suggests lawyers give 50 hours of free administration every year. Be that as it may, different state and city directions can and do revise that, some prescribing as few as 20 hours. The greatest point to note is that these are not required of the lawyers, for the most part; and no matter how you look at it, most law offices don't approach their required hours.
Taking Care of Legal Fees
Given this present, it's no big surprise why a a lot of people think that its less expensive to simply pay a lot of legal fees as opposed to going to a open-ending outsourcing attorney. In the event that you are in a circumstance where you require or may require legitimate insight, what choices do you have?
The ABA has a rundown of master bono lawyer gatherings and law offices accessible on their site. The vast majority of those recorded are for particular cases or issue sorts (e.g., for legitimate issues managing the Arts or the Humanities, and so forth.). On the off chance that you require a lawyer for an individual issue, you may experience considerable difficulties a lawyer in your general vicinity who has some effective expertise in the field you need and who can acknowledge your case (expecting, obviously, that you qualify). On the off chance that you can't locate a star bono lawyer, what different alternatives do you have?
Accessible Legal Aid
Legal aid is accessible in some frame in every one of the 50 states. It is an ace attorney benefit (i.e., there to serve the general population great), yet it is not generally a free administration. Legal aid lawyers are here and there open safeguards, and regularly paid for completely or in part by state or nearby endowments.

EU workshop on Fostering Global Collaboration of European Companies
The high-level workshop, organised by the NewGlobal project on 16 September, 2008 in Brussels, will gather together experts and policy-makers to discuss strategies for fostering global, ICT-based collaboration by European Companies.
There is now a wealth of evidence which suggests that businesses can derive significant benefits from collaborating internationally. The ongoing trend towards economic globalisation also means that EU competiveness will only be sustained if a larger share of our businesses collaborate at a global level. Doing so, however, implies a number of challenges, which partly explains why many companies refrain from global engagement.
ICT-based tools for collaboration across distance have the potential of overcoming many of the traditional limits and barriers to global collaboration. At the same time, successful implementation of virtual collaborations technologies presents a challenge itself.
The NewGlobal study, which is commissioned by the European Commission and in which empirica is a partner, explores how ICT-supported collaborative work environments can be deployed for enabling successful globalisation strategies of EU companies, with the ultimate goal of achieving significant economic and employment gains for the benefit of European economies and societies.
The study has collected empirical evidence through case studies in EU-based multi-national businesses and through a representative business survey targeted at globally active SMEs in selected high-tech sectors in 8 Member States. NewGlobal has also taken stock of the state-of-the art in academic research on ICT-based international business collaboration.
At the workshop, key findings of this research will be presented with a view to discuss and agree on policy recommendations to be targeted at the policy-making process at EU as well as Mamber State levels. Additional target groups include the Social Partners and the European Statistical System.
Workshop participation is by invitation only. If you are interested in attending, please send a mail, indicating your area of expertise and the organisation you represent, to karsten.gareis AT empirica.com.
