A poet by blood, and a musician by trade, Elizabeth Woolf is a songstress at heart. Born and raised in Los Angeles California, Elizabeth spent her childhood surrounded by various musical genres, studying classical voice at The Colburn School in DTLA, and jazz piano with Tamir Hendelman. While studying at UC Berkeley, Elizabeth self-published her first book of poems entitled "Infection." In 2016, Elizabeth debuted her first musical "Dreams at 18" at PianoFight theater in San Francisco, which she wrote, produced, and directed, after developing the piece at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center. In 2017, Elizabeth was accepted to the Conservatorium Van Amsterdam's Summer Jazz Program, and returned to LA later that year to host "Elizabeth's First Annual Pajama Jam" at The Mint. She has performed at venues such as The Viper Room, The Hotel Cafe, Black Rabbit Rose, and was featured on BBS radio in January, 2018.

In just the six months from last September to March, the number of cancer cell therapies in development has increased by 87%, though about half of the total tallied is in the preclinical phase, according to a new report from the non-profit Cancer Research Institute in Nature Reviews Drug Discovery.
The Cancer Research Institute’s database is now tracking 753 cell therapies, pursuing 113 different targets, and of which 375 are in clinical trials and 378 are in the preclinical phase.
The US and China are developing more than two-thirds of the cancer cell therapies, and one third in the database are being developed by academic centers in both countries.
“Most of the CAR T [chimeric antigen receptor T-cell] agents developed in China are not innovative therapies, but locally produced agents with properties similar to those already approved or in late stage clinical development in the US,” the article says.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also has said it has its own database of CAR-T therapies – previously noting that it contained more than 100 investigational new drug (IND) applications.
And three cell and gene therapies have won FDA approval: two Car-T cell therapies, including Novartis' Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel) for certain pediatric and young adult patients with a form of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and Gilead’s Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel) for adults with certain types of large B-cell lymphoma; and a new gene therapy from Spark Therapeutics for the treatment of children and adult patients with an inherited form of vision loss that may result in blindness.
Earlier this week, FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb discussed several new cell and gene therapy guidance documents that are expected soon.
Gottlieb also said the agency may be willing to accept more uncertainty for certain gene and cell therapies, particularly with those earning the new Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation. He noted that as of the end of April, there had been 62 RMAT designation submissions since the inception of the program in December 2016, and 19 designations have been granted (see 16 of them here).

In this opera “after the manner of an oratorio”, Handel fused elements typical of the two forms to create a unique work, where dazzling, passionate music and comic moments alternate with complex, polyphonic choruses. The plot is based on Ovid’s Metamorphoses: a Theban princess, Semele, falls in love and starts an affair with Jupiter, the king of the gods. His wife, Juno, decides to act. Disguised as Semele’s sister Ino, she visits Semele, and suggests that she ask to see Jupiter in his god-like form, as he appears on Mount Olympus. In this way, she will obtain immortality. Semele sexually manipulates Jupiter into granting her wish, which he is bound to fulfil, and when the mighty thunderer appears in all his glory, she dies. In a subplot, Semele’s abandoned fiancé, Athamas, ends up marrying Ino.
In Carsen’s production, the action is moved to mid-20th century England, where Juno is Queen Elizabeth II, and Semele’s role is less clear. She is portrayed as a vain social climber destroyed by ambition, and while this could fit the plot, the modernization of the action didn’t add much to the story. The result was somewhat incoherent: Queen Elizabeth II is the monarch; she was never subject to a king. The scene was reduced to a large room, whose most notable feature was a gigantic double door. A red carpet was rolled out of the door in the public scenes, while a large bed characterized the more intimate ones. The setting, while unobtrusive, was also uninspiring, although the lighting, by Carsen and Peter van Praet, was brilliant. Carsen worked considerably on the movement of the singers to instil a sense of motion into the stiff text.
William Christie confirmed his status as a true giant of the Baroque repertoire. His reading of the score was precise and clear, with perfectly chosen tempi and an extensive palette of emotions. His leadership is based on community of intent more than force: he led the ensemble with a strong hand, but without micro-managing, letting the players and singers find their way, helping them through with vigour when needed. The Zurich period orchestra La Scintilla responded with its best: they played with precision, passion and a sincere love for the music. At the reprise of Jove’s aria “Where’er you walk”, they found the softest, sweetest cloud of sound imaginable, drawing tears even before the tenor had a chance to come in.
The Zurich Opera Chorus was nothing short of exceptional. Their precision in the intertwined polyphony was matched by their spotless English pronunciation and committed acting. Bravi!
Cecilia Bartoli was an irresistible Semele, her natural enthusiasm and joie de vivre perfectly suited to the character. After a repressed, mournful first act (as Semele is supposed to marry Athamas), when Jupiter snatches her away to their love nest, she shows up wrapped in a sheet, hair dishevelled in full post-love-making beatitude, for the aria “Endless Pleasure”. From that moment, she roams the stage like a hurricane. It’s hard to imagine a singer who can convey unaltered passion for love and life as Bartoli can. She’s overwhelming, which likely explains her high number of naysayers. Although I prefer her in mezzo roles, she displayed a full command of this high soprano score: her coloratura was legendary as usual, the high notes full and bright. Her melancholy aria “O sleep” was heart melting, but she did her best work at the end. In the comical aria “Myself I shall adore”, where she falls in love with her own reflection in a mirror, Bartoli displayed a good dose of self-irony, using the coloratura to marvel, in awe, at the perfection of her own various body parts. Kudos to her.
Frédéric Antoun was Jupiter, his tenor high and bright, but full in the middle range, with confident coloratura. He and Bartoli showed very good chemistry while rolling in the hay; he may not have the imposing physique one associates with Jupiter, but he was a credible king of the gods. Ino was Deniz Uzun. I was impressed by the true alto quality of her voice, its depth and smoothness, and her great projection. Juno was Katarina Bradić, whose velvety mezzo was perhaps not as well projected, but showed great musicianship and character. Rebeca Olvera, as Iris (Juno’s assistant) won the audience with a bright, sparkling voice and a true comical talent.
Nahuel Di Pierro sang the roles of Cadmus, Semele’s father, and Somnus, the god of sleep. He had a slightly rocky start, but soon recovered, his bass sonorous and elegant. Athamas was Christophe Dumaux, whose unusually smooth countertenor and perfect coloratura made one regret that his two arias were sadly cut.

As someone who is interested in programming and Linux, I feel it’s important to be comfortable on a command-line. I guess I subscribe to an old-school mentality. I really enjoy being able to interact with my computer through a keyboard.
Recently I decided to go further back to basics and focus more on what a stock system can do. So I uninstalled Zsh, and Tmux, and have been running just plain-old Bash again for a while now.
Before I go any further, I’d like to acknowledge that most of what I’m going to talk about below, I learnt from Peteris Krumins‘ blog. He has several excellent pages and cheat-sheets that I will link-to throughout this post.
Peteris has this page about Bash Emacs editing mode, and an awesome cheat-sheet there too.
As far as I can tell non-incremental search means search once. i.e. I type Alt+p, and then e, and then hit Return, it gives me exit, which is the first command backwards in (my) search history. if I then try to type Alt+p again, to get the next-command-back that matches e, the search resets. So really this command is useful for going to the first matching command only.
Wait! Ctrl+s doesn’t work, it just hangs my terminal!!!
That’s all for now. I’ve only scratched the surface here of what Bash is capable of, but already I feel more productive being able to call-up frequently used commands from history, and more competent not resorting to mashing the up/down arrows so much!

There’s a great post written by Dan McKinley that advises to limit the number of new technology you pick for a project. The premise is that if you adopt too many new concepts you will spend most of your time learning and debugging instead of building value.
I find that to be true and I’ve been reminded of this recently while looking into React Native — it started off as a really exciting project but then quickly my enthusiasm dropped as I had to spend a lot of time understanding basic concepts.
So when it came to picking the stack for Squadlytics we tried to keep it as familiar as possible (Rails 5 API, React, PostgreSQL) to direct most of the excitement towards delivering value to our customers and less about discovering new tech. It’s hard to do in practice because there’s so many great frameworks, languages, and services being built every year. But limiting yourself to 3 innovations will still provide a lot of great opportunities for self-development.
One thing I did not realize though is that this advice should be applied to life too. You need to limit the number of new initiatives you take.
Packed up life in Sydney with wife and baby #1 and moved to a country where we don’t speak the language (Portugal).
Stopped working for Atlassian (meaning stop getting regular income).
Explored the world of retail businesses.
Got back into serious coding (built a time-capsule app!).
Began teaching Product Management at SheCodes.
Started Squadlytics to help teams understand productivity issues.
Each thing in itself was pretty exciting and I’m lucky enough that we’ve been able to do all that. But in hindsight this was too much and the stress induced by the amount of changes definitely impacted my ability to enjoy the journey.
Please don’t misunderstand me. I was far from being miserable and it’s been an awesome year. Just look at this baby.
Baby A. is definitely the highlight of 2017.
What I mean is that having so many new things happening at once in my life definitely took away some chances for celebration. For instance, it can be a bit hard to enjoy the nightlife of Lisbon when you’re 3 months into a pregnancy, expecting a baby can be (extra) challenging when you struggle to communicate with doctors and starting a business can be complicated when you also have to figure out your residency status.
The purpose is not for you to lead a boring life. On the contrary the goal is to be able to fully experience the adventures you are taking. You need to reduce your options to take some pressure off and you need some downtime to realize how far you’ve come. Boring should also not mean that you’re doing something you despise. It’s simply about leaving some things that do not require brain power. For instance moving to a country where you already speak the language means that communication won’t be a novelty exercise. Starting a business in a domain that you know will reduce the amount of new skills to learn.
This is definitely something that I’ll be wary of in 2018 as my plate is already full with the 2 kids and bootstrapping a startup. But it’s the same dilemma as with technology choices because there’s always something new, something exciting to do.
I invite you to join me in downsizing the bucket list. Maybe we can keep each other in check.

The municipality also has plans for long-term disposal measures, including a garbage-fed electricity-generating plant to be built in May, says Mayor Theerasak Theethaphan.
Pointing out that his Northeast province was among the country’s top 10 for total accumulated garbage, Theerasak said the city’s 98-rai dump in Ban Kham Bon, Muang district, now contained 800,000 tonnes of rubbish.
The garbage mountain needed to be tackled speedily to prevent impacts on farmland and water sources or even a fire like at Praek Sa, he said.
Theerasak said the first long-term solution was a Bt93-million Energy Ministry-funded project to turn six tonnes of plastic waste into 4,500 litres of fuel for the municipality.
The project was currently seeking a new contractor after the previous contract expired last year, he added.
The second long-term solution, a power station to turn garbage into electricity, is waiting to be granted permission to begin construction next month and should be completed by early next year.
The power plant is designed to dispose of 450 tonnes of garbage per day – 250 tonnes of which would be new garbage.
Operating at this rate, the plant should be able to get rid the backlog of garbage within seven years, said Theerasak. The dumpsite would then be turned into a green recreational space for the local community, he added.
Authorities are also building a Bt73-million wastewater-treatment system featuring a 20-rai pond with 129,000 cubic-metre capacity. This system should be operating by November or earlier.

Cycling: We have an agenda | Coming thru!
Cycling is very much like football (the soccer kind) to me. Everyone can do it. It’s one of the most equal methods of transportation available to our species living on this planet. However, even being the capitalist I am, I realize that our cities and our culture has been evolving around the internal combustion engine. Sadly, most trips a person takes during his life are under five (that’s 5) kilometers on average.
Sure, things are a bit different in Finland where you might live up North in an area that looks and is a sparsely populated as Canada. I’m also sure there are plenty of other extreme examples where you seriously need a car or a jet plane for yourself, but most people live in quite urban environments. Most people who now can’t live without their own car were super happy to ride around in their bike when they were kids going to school.
If you have an opportunity to affect the world we live in, the chance to make cycling easier, safer and better for all, you have done a great thing. Please do it.

Yournalism: What YOU want journalism to be!
Yournalism is exactly what it sounds like: Your + Journalism = Yournalism.
This Dutch start up is a crowd funding website for investigative journalism. The idea is to give the public the opportunity to choose and financially contribute to the stories they think are worth investigating.
The public use this platform to connect journalists who have good stories with media outlets.
(1) What is needed to do the research. Yournalism’s team asks journalists for a transparent budget.
(2) Calculation of what is a realistic amount based on the urgency of the topic, the media partners involved and other stakeholders that share the campaign message for them.
Yournalism takes 15% of the target fund as a platform fee to cover the costs of the campaign and provide editorial support and use of technology.
The final articles often appear in major national and international newspapers, where they can have more impact. On their official website, Yournalism says they are committed to guarantee that everything is investigated and checked, and is accessible to everyone, including non-donors.
Yournalism will launch their new website in early January to include bilingual options for international projects in both Dutch and English.

They went from death row to families who love them.
What do shelter dogs dream about? Is it the family they lost and the lives they once lived? Or, do they dare dream of a future beyond those four walls? Grassy fields and beaches and people who love them unconditionally?
Sadly, we will never know. So many abandoned dogs never emerge from shelters, their dreams disappearing along with them. But we do know there is no dog like a shelter dog when it comes to seizing second chances. And running with them.
These are just a few of the dogs who once faced an anonymous ending at a public shelter - and are now living the dream.
Last spring, Fulton County Animal Services, a bustling shelter in Georgia, was facing a crisis. Too many surrendered pets. Not enough adoptions. The shelter was overwhelmed and many of the dogs needed medical attention.
"The staff were desperate for help," Clare Forndran, of Dog Tales Rescue and Sanctuary, tells The Dodo. "And we agreed to take a group of their most senior dogs that would be least likely to find homes.
"All of the dogs from this pull were in particularly rough shape."
Among them? An 11-year-old Chihuahua named Harriet.
Senior dogs are never easy to find a home for - many families look for the shiny newness of youth. But at Dog Tales, this old dog found her feet. Then she found a forever family.
They still send Dog Tales postcards from her new life.
"It warms our hearts to see Harriet looking so happy, content, and, most importantly, loved," Forndran says.
The walls started closing in on Zoe when she was just 2-years old. Dumped at one of America's busiest shelters, it wasn't long before this Rhodesian ridgeback found herself on death row. But when a team from Dog Tales visited Miami-Dade Animal Services last fall, she caught their eye. Then she caught the biggest break of her life. She was among several dogs the group pulled from death row and took home to Canada.
Not long after that came another break: a forever family. But then, it seemed, cruel fate was finished with Zoe. She was diagnosed with cancer.
"Her family and our entire team were devastated," Forndran says. But, unlike the circumstances that led her to death row at the Miami shelter, Zoe wouldn't face this fight alone. Her family stuck with her throughout the ordeal.
Today her cancer is in remission.
"We're convinced that this would not have been possible without the unconditional love and care that her family provides her with each and every day," Forndran notes. "They have given her a reason to live. We believe that they were meant to come into Zoe's life, and she theirs."
It didn't matter how strong Lina was, how many beats per second her tail could whir or how fast she could run. Three-legged dogs don't get very far at the shelter. In fact, Lina had landed squarely on the kill list at Miami-Dade.
It seemed no one would see the staggering strength that coursed from her heart to her tail.
Until Dog Tales took her off that list. At the Canadian sanctuary, the 3-year-old American bulldog mix found her death sentence commuted to life in a kennel. Even at Dog Tales, she was passed over. Three legs. Zero interest.
Then the humans Lina had been waiting all her life for visited the sanctuary.
"It was love at first sight," Forndran says.
Lina went home with her new family and soon after that, her life took an epic turn.
"We have been able to visit with Lina many times since her adoption, and she is thriving in her new home," Forndran says. "She has a permanent smile on her face."
When Dalyah first arrived from Israel, she wasn't into hugs. Or meeting new people at all. Maybe that's because she had spent her life more as a thing than a dog. She was rescued from an extreme hoarding situation.
Airlifted to Canada, it took time for Dalyah to open up. Her future suddenly seemed limitless. And when a family adopted her, so too did the size of her heart.
As for those hugs, it turned out Dalyah was just waiting for the right people.
"She even hugs her brother and sister when they come home from school," Forndran says.
It wasn't just mud that Hope had to wade in every day at an overwhelmed animal shelter in Israel. But the rats who circled like vultures.
True to her name, Hope never gave up. In fact, the 9-year-old Labrador mix greeted her rescuers with her trademark sweetness.
"It is incredibly emotional for us to think of the conditions that Hope came from," Forndran says.
Back in Canada, Hope waited months for a family to notice her. But that's all right - she knew what it was like to wait.
Besides, when a family finally did fall in love with Hope, it turned out to be more than worth every minute.
Hard floors filled Jake with such terror, he couldn't take a single, trembling step on them. At 10 years old, he had been surrendered directly to the Dog Tales shelter. Sweet and gentle, it seemed he would have no trouble finding a forever home. But it was clear Jake had serious baggage. Like an inexplicable fear of hard floors.
What family would be able to deal with a dog who couldn't walk on hard floors?
It turned out to be the kind of family who loved Jake so much, they were willing to put soft foam tiles on all of their hardwood.
Today, the only terror in Jake's life is the kind he dishes out to neighborhood children in his trademark shark costume.
It's a very rare shelter dog who never lost anything. That's because Lucas was likely born into his nightmare - a dilapidated shelter in Israel.
As you might imagine, Lucas came to Canada with few expectations. Fewer dreams. And some demons.
He was afraid of so many things. It didn't stop a family from falling in love the moment they met him.
"They were determined to make him a part of their family," Forndran says.
And in the days ahead, Lucas found his footing, not only with his new family, but with a best friend, a sheltie named Georgia.
Of course, Dog Tales isn't the only rescue group hauling abandoned pets out of shelters and giving them a chance to shine. Countless volunteers and organizations visit shelters every day. On threadbare budgets, they brave heartbreak to bring hope to the seemingly hopeless.
If you've ever wondered what a shelter dog dreams about, just ask him to show you.
Consider taking one home today through Adopt-a-Pet.com.
And if you would like to support Dog Tales in its mission to save countless more animals, you can make a donation here.

Chelsea is ready to turn to Zinedine Zidane to make them a European superpower again as current manager Maurizio Sarri is running out of time after the 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Manchester City saw the Blues drop to sixth position in the Premier League table.
Zidane was last week spotted in London, having dinner with Man United legend David Beckham and Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino after the three were snapped exiting the exclusive Locanda Locatelli eatery just three minutes apart.
Sarri was unbeaten in his first 12 games in charge at Stamford Bridge, having succeeded sacked Antonio Conte last summer.

We look at the Three Days of Holy Week as one single worship celebration that lasts for three days. Each of the Three Days “tells” a different part of the story of Jesus’ saving action. We cannot separate the death of Jesus from his resurrection. The faith community gathers at various times during these days to remember and give thanks together.
You and your family are invited and encouraged to experience the fullness of the Three Days by participating in each of the worship services. To miss one of these worship services is to miss part of God’s story in Jesus. May God bless our journey, give us peace, and bring us to the fullness of faith!
The title “Maundy” comes from the Latin word for command: Jesus’ command that we are to love one another. Maundy Thursday is the first of the Three Days. On this day, we tell the story of the Passover from Exodus 12; the story of the Last Supper from 1 Corinthians; and the story of Jesus’ last meal with his disciples from the Gospel of John where we are called to love one another by serving one another in Christ’s new covenant of love.
We enact the meaning of Maundy Thursday in a variety of ways: a longer rite of confession and forgiveness; an opportunity for hand washing where we signify our love and service to one another; the celebration of Holy Communion, and the stripping of the altar.
We leave worship in silence as we are being made ready for Good Friday.
This second of the Three Days is a day of paradox. One would think that the day commemorating the execution of a messiah would be kept in complete mourning. However, our worship on this day is marked not by excessive sorrow, as if we are pretending that Christ is still dead, but rather by solemn devotion. For even on this day we assemble as people of the resurrection. We acknowledge the cross before us as God’s gift of life.
On this day, we read the entire Passion of Jesus from the Gospel of John where the death of Jesus, is paradoxically the triumph of Christ.
We enact the meaning of Good Friday, through the ways that we reverence the Cross, through our prayers, and through a worship service that ends simply as we depart in silence.
Just as the festivities for Christmas begin on Christmas Eve, the celebration of Easter begins at the Vigil of Easter. The service begins with the striking of a fire and the lighting of candles for everyone. Our candles proclaim the resurrection of Christ as a timeless event even now occurring. At this the third of the Three Days, we experience together the story of salvation. In this joyful worship service, we hear the stories of faith, sing the songs of the tradition, affirm our baptisms, share the bread and wine, and so be joined together with Christ as the light of the world. This full worship service ends in joy and thanksgiving for the entire assembly who gathers, not to wait, but to celebrate the resurrection.
Every Sunday is a celebration of the Resurrection of Our Lord because “on this day” as the Eucharistic Prayer of Thanksgiving states, Christ rose from the dead. So, what makes Easter Sunday worship so special? After journeying through the 40 days of Lent and The Three Days we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus with renewed thankfulness, hope, and excitement. Our celebration of the Resurrection of Our Lord is so completely central to our faith that The Season of Easter lasts for 50 days. During this season, we will give thanks for the gift of baptism rather than offer confession and we will stand in the light of the resurrection while receiving communion rather than taking the penitential stance of kneeling.
We gather on this day, like we do on all other Sundays, to give thanks to God for the salvation that God has prepared for us through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Empowered by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God proclaimed, the waters of baptism that makes us new creations, and the meal of Christ’s body and blood, we are strengthened and sent out to bear Christ’s redeeming love to the world.

Ansumana’s winning proposal to conduct a ‘Community Mangrove Conservation and Restoration’ project in Gambia was inspired by Mikoko Pamoja (“mangroves together”). This is a pioneering community project, which developed out of an Earthwatch research project to study the rehabilitation of mangrove forests to alleviate poverty, enhance fisheries and slow coastal erosion in Kenya.
The project aims to enhance and restore areas of mangrove forest and empower the local community to manage the project. Ansumana will train groups of women, young people and volunteers in rural areas of Gambia to bee-keep and plant mangroves. He aims to promote sustainable development initiatives, creativity, self-reliance and responsibility in the community.
The Earthwatch Shulman awards celebrates its tenth year of supporting emerging scientists by providing grants to early-career conservationists in Africa, Asia and Central and South America through the generous support of author and explorer Neville Shulman CBE.

The University of Sydney has welcomed a new report from Universities Australia that recognises the crucial role of universities in job creation and boosting Australia’s economy.
The University of Sydney has welcomed a new report confirming universities as the driving force in Australia’s startup economy, in the same week it launched its reimagined undergraduate curriculum, designed to equip students with the skills they’ll need to lead and thrive in a changing world.
Professor Duncan Ivison, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research), said the report – Startup Smarts: universities and the startup economy – affirms the direction the University is taking in preparing students for the jobs and opportunities of the future.
“Numerous well-established, extra-curricular accelerator and startup initiatives are available to our students and the broader University community, including the award-winning INCUBATE program, Cicada Innovations, Sydney Genesis and the Sydney Accelerator Network,” Professor Iverson said.
“These programs have had remarkable success in supporting our people and their ground-breaking ideas, while helping them to capitalise on their potential.
“We’ve embedded the importance of developing these entrepreneurial skills in our students as part of our 2016-2020 Strategic Plan, and this is a core pillar of our new undergraduate curriculum that will commence in 2018."
Soon every student will have the opportunity to take on real-world entrepreneurship and industry projects, to learn from leaders in their field, to study and work across disciplines and to gain the skills and understanding to work effectively across cultural boundaries.
“With start-ups predicted to create more than half a million jobs in Australia over the coming decades, our students will be in an ideal position to take advantage of opportunities in this changing world of work and to significantly contribute to Australia’s future economy,” Professor Ivison said.
The report, a joint project between Universities Australia and Startup Muster, reveals more than four in five startup founders in Australia are university graduates, and that there are more than 100 startup support facilities and entrepreneurism centres at Australian universities.
Drawing on a Startup Muster survey of 600 startup founders in 2016, it found around one in five founders benefited from an acceleration or incubation program while at university.
The report will be launched today at the National Press Club by Universities Australia Chair Professor Barney Glover.
University of Sydney alumna Angela Liang (photographer Lisa Fahey).
University of Sydney alumna Angela Liang features in the report as an example of a successful entrepreneur. Having completed a double degree in commerce and law, she began a career in investment banking in Hong Kong. On her return to Sydney, Angela began working on transferring the skills she’d learnt from the finance world to the fashion world. She has since established Lustre, a business that matches fashion-conscious shoppers’ styles with emerging designers while helping the designers break into markets normally dominated by big brands. The business was launched with the support of global accelerator program AngelHack.
“Angela’s story is inspiring, and there are many, many hundreds more examples from the University of Sydney community,” Professor Ivison said.
INCUBATE: An award-winning startup accelerator and entrepreneur program founded by the USU. In 2016, the University of Sydney announced it would provide INCUBATE $1m in funding over five years in order to double its size and expand its support for on-campus startups.
Cicada Innovations: Australia’s first and largest business incubator, Cicada Innovations, has a client portfolio of more than 70 high-growth advanced technology startups (including several from the University of Sydney), with more than 500 patents filed and $500M in revenue earned since 2006. The University of Sydney was one of four founding University partners of Cicada, which was voted ‘World’s best incubator’ in 2014.
Sydney Genesis: A cross-faculty start-up program where students, alumni and staff can bring their business idea and develop it into a launchable venture. Has supported more than 800 students and alumni start their own business ideas since 2008.
The Sydney Accelerator Network: Fostering innovative new ideas in ICT, and helping ICT-related startups put their ideas into action. The Network usually works with around four startup businesses at a time, helping these companies give life to their ideas.
Sydney Social Innovation Hub: Provides a facility for undergraduate and postgraduate students from all faculties across the University to co-create and innovate with other students, academics, alumni, industry and community.
The USU also supports societies that connect entrepreneurial students with business opportunities while they are studying. 180 Degrees: Social Innovation Group, Inside Enterprise and the Network of Women (NOW), are just a few of the societies on offer that aim to get young businesspeople inspired and involved. The Young Entrepreneurs Society also acts as a hub for student entrepreneurs on campus.
Postgraduate and research students completed a unique pilot program to drive innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration on campus.
The University of Sydney will provide significant financial support for on-campus startup accelerator INCUBATE, to help double its size over the next five years.
The University of Sydney has been ranked number one in Australia and 28 globally in the new Thomson Reuters’ innovation ranking – ‘Top 75: Asia’s Most Innovative Universities’.

People don’t think anymore. I’m not talking about stupid people, although the 21st century seems to have an extra ration of them. Nor am I talking about daydreaming, the gentle art of thinking about everything and nothing, all at the same time. I’m talking about the act of thinking. The activity whose only purpose is to produce thoughts (random and otherwise.) Basically, we’re so damn busy doing stuff that we never actually think. Our multitasking universe just doesn’t allow for it. It’s considered lazy. So we fill our random time with “busy” that looks and feels like we’re doing something. The problem is it’s mostly crap like playing with our phones or watching TV. But we believe action (even something as passive as surfing YouTube) is better than just staring off into space, thinking about it. Horse feathers!
Take a look at Newton. The reason Sir Isaac figured out gravity was he was sitting under the apple tree in the first place — doing nothing. (BTW, I know the story’s a myth but …) My point is, instead of texting his BFF John Locke a picture of an apple, Newton took the time to contemplate why the apple fell to the ground instead of just floating in the air. Voila! Gravity!
I realize we’re not all scientific geniuses like Newton and for the most part ordinary thoughts are — well — ordinary, but so what? The purpose of thinking is to give the mind something to do.
Look at the person running on a treadmill. They’re not fleeing for their lives; they’re not chasing anything; they’re not even going anywhere. Actually, it’s a useless activity except common wisdom dictates people who don’t exercise end up sloppy, fat bastards, lying on a sofa, eating Doritos and watching old Michael Bay movies for the storyline. Eeeww!
The mind works the same way. If we don’t exercise it, our decision making, problem-solving and critical analysis become flabby. A meme is easier to read than an essay, a soundbyte easier to analyze than a debate, and simple problems become overwhelming. It’s a dangerous road we’re travelling, and if we’re not careful, we could end up in a society wallowing in celebrity worship, entirely dominated by Kim Kardashian’s bum, Donald Trump’s hairstyle and … Hey! Wait a minute … I think I’m going to go find a tree and just sit there for awhile.
Years ago, my wife gave me a string-and-ring puzzle. It took me about 2 minutes of tangling, and untangling to solve it. I placed it before the engineer at my employer. He sat and smoked his pipe, and stared at it for 20 minutes – and then solved it without a mistake in 15 seconds.
I am reminded of the EE (Doc) Smith Lensman series. The Lensmans’ motto was “We Go In.” The non-human Lensman apologised for killing 127 bad guys in a redoubt, without lifting a finger. He just out-thought them.

After the blinding success of our event at Edinburgh Fringe last August, the Voice Festival team decided that one trip to Scotland each year just wasn’t enough! February 22nd, therefore, saw VF-UK team members once again braving the overnight buses, this time to Glasgow, for the second of our Regional Festivals.
If you’re coming to the Festival Weekend, download the Vyclone app so we can have lots of fun with collaborative videos.
– Half the groups had been in existence less than a year though the average length of a groups existence was over 8 years!
There were some very impressive debuts from the new groups the Killer Quines from Aberdeen University, Royal Blues from Newcastle University and In Toon from Northumbria University: we even enjoyed a Voice Festival first in the form of a headstand performed at the end of Royal Blues’ set! But the groups who have existed for that bit longer weren’t going to be shown up – Close Shave Chorus from Glasgow treated us to some real Barbershop classics, Tartan Harmony from Helensburgh sung a diverse set including a powerful version of Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah and Choral Stimulation from Glasgow University did what they do best and showed off some INSANE mash-ups.
All in all, we had a brilliant day and are so pleased we went back to Scotland. If you can’t wait for your next a cappella fix we’ll be in Birmingham in just a few short weeks time!

The City of Euless welcomes leashed dogs in all of its parks. But owners of well-mannered canines can take advantage of the fenced Dog Park at Villages of Bear Creek Park where unleashed dogs can have more room to run and play. With just over 50% of Euless residents living in apartments, we recognized the need to provide man's best friend with some room to roam.
The double-gated, fenced, 3-acre off-leash dog area is divided into two sections, one section for large dogs over 40 pounds and the other for small dogs less than 40 pounds. Each section provides shaded areas, wash stations, drinking fountains for both humans and dogs, doggie bag dispensers, and many fun play features.
When outside the dog park enclosure, all animals are required to be restrained on a leash at all times. This includes arriving and departing the dog park.
The dog park is open six days a week during daylight hours. It is closed on Thursdays for maintenance. For dog park rules and regulations, please call 817-685-1429. You'll be in the doghouse if you don't visit this great new park. It's a doggone good time!
DO scoop the poop. Please help prevent the spread of parasites and possible disease. We'll even provide the bags!
DO license and vaccinate your dogs.
DO watch and keep an eye on your dog(s).
DO avoid dog fights. If a fight breaks out, pull the dogs apart from the back.
DO honor the limit of 2 dogs per visit.
DO remove your dogs immediately at the first sign of aggressive behavior toward people or other dogs.
DO enjoy this opportunity for your dog to romp and play off-leash in a fun, safe environment.
DON'T bring puppies under 4 months to the park.
DON'T let your dog dig holes in the park.
DON'T leave your dogs unattended.
DON'T bring small children. Larger dogs may find them more interesting than necessary.

The Perry, Spear and Company Limited siding was situated on the site of the former Drakewalls Depot, just prior to the line crossing the A390 Tavistock to Callington road. In fact, in the Railway Clearing House "Official Hand Book of Railways Stations, etc." for 1929, and again in the 1956 edition,it was known as the "Drakewall Siding". It had no mechanical facilities. The present Gunnislake Station is built on the site.
There were two sidings, a short one coming off the main one, accessed off the Branch by a facing junction for Down trains. The points were operated from a Ground Frame released by the Electric Token. It was accessed by Up trains towards Bere Alston only.
According to the Working Time Table commencing June 12th 1961, only one freight train a day called at the Siding, the weekdays only 12.03pm from Gunnislake to Bere Alston, and that was timed to stop for only five minutes between 12.04 and 12.09pm. After calling at Calstock Station to change the Electric Key Token for a Train Staff, the train was timed to arrive at Bere Alston at 12.36pm.
The Perry, Spear and Company's Siding was closed on or as from August 2nd 1966, as confirmed by a British Railways notice.

Well, I know how I work. I need deadlines to keep me motivated. And they do. I become obsessive about things when I’m on a deadline. Thing is. I’m not very good at making realistic goals, and always seem to set myself up for failure. I can’t recall a single goal I’ve set for myself and hit. Take my current writing deadline. Two months to finish and edit a book from scratch. Somehow I forgot it took me just a little over two months to get out the first draft of Shadow Cat, and then another two and half months editing. Which, by the way I’m STILL editing. I swear this Shadow Cat things is a non-stop progress. I just can’t seem to satisfy myself. I also have an editing goal for Shadow Cat. February 10, 2010 to finish another round of editing. Only 25 pages in a 350 page manuscript…so 20+ pages a day.
When I was in school or working, I never missed a deadline. Of course then, I didn’t set my own goals. Someone please set some realistic goals for me.

I'm not sure what my problem is (no comments from the peanut gallery please) but I just cannot get motivated to post on our blog. Quite a bit has gone on in the last month or so. We've finally got our house on the market (fingers crossed for a quick sale!), I've been working on potty training Amelia (don't get me started), Easter and so forth. We've had some fun weekends meeting up with my old roommate Risa and her husband Bryan and last weekend Catherine came down to visit.
Adjusting to our new routine here in Beaufort is going pretty well. Amelia has been waking up at 6:30 in the morning and I DON'T like that at all. The girls have been sicky sicky this last week, and unlike previous boughts of illness, the girls actually slept well (instead of less) during their illness. I'm definitely enjoying having cable. One of my new favorite shows is "Say Yes to the Dress" on TLC. Love it! I feel like I'm apart of cultural America now. On that note, I'll leave you with a couple pictures of my completely adorable girls.
Hurray! I'm so glad you posted and changed your background!! It looks great. And I love the pics of the girls. Can't wait to visit again. It's so nice down there.
I am glad you posted. I check almost everyday. But then, I have no room to talk, since I have equally as difficult time making regular posts. The girls ARE adorable and I can't wait to see you all in two weeks!! Oh, and I Love the background.

Time: 11:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. = 5 hrs, 30 min.
Travel events: No black flies and few mosquitoes in evidence, but deer flies buzz around our heads throughout the trip... deet-based repellent doesn't seem to deter them, citronella oil seems to help a bit; 1:15 p.m.: Lucie tips over backwards while swatting a deer fly off her dog's snout... Lucie lands sitting in a creek, waist-deep in water!; The Maple Leaf Creek crossing is very scenic... good photo op.
Quote of the day: "Is it okay to start complaining now?"
Camp events, evening: To bed at 8 p.m.!!
Camp events, the following morning: We oversleep... it is already getting hot when we arise at 10 a.m.
NOTE: Most of the campsites between Maggie Lake and Ramona Lake are not very good... marshy, small, etc. We recommend going straight through from Maggie to Ramona or Guskewau to camp.
Time: 11:15 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. = 6 hrs, 45 min.
Travel events: We stop at the west junction between the first and second loops, for lunch and a visit with a couple of Western Uplands Trail veterans... a man and his teenage son... after lunch we head off to the east along the first loop, they head north onto the second loop; We get really discouraged between Oak and Dace Lakes... it's soooo hot and humid and these hills are just too much to take today!! Dace Lake appears before we expect it... this event spurs us on to hike the final uphill to the east junction, and the rest of the way to Ramona Lake, without any further whining!
Quote of the day: "I love you, Ramona!!"
Camp events, the following morning: Lucie wakes up to find a red squirrel hanging from our food pack, gnawing a hole in the dry bag containing our lunches... a harsh word sends him packing. The squirrel did not have time to eat too much food. The dry bag is cleaned-up and patched with duct tape.
NOTE: Today was set aside as a rest day in the interior... we only traveled 4.5 km to Guskewau Lake. Instead of stopping at Guskewau, we could easily have hiked the final 8 km from Ramona Lake to the Trailhead today in about two-and-a-half hours.
Weather: Warm and breezy... nice to be rid of that heat and humidity!
Time: 9:35 a.m. - 11 a.m. = 1 hr, 25 min.
Overnight: Nice and cool!; Margaret gets up at 1 a.m. to see why the pots and pans are making a rattling noise... it turns out NOT to be the pots and pans at all, but rather a large number of frogs singing in unison in Guskewau Lake... a sound very much like noise a lid on a pot makes when the pot is about to boil over... odd... will have to research what kind of frog makes such a sound!
Time: 10 a.m. - 11 a.m. = 1 hr.
Travel time: 14 hrs, 40 min.

I have recently reduced my salt intake quite a bit to see if it has an impact on my blood pressure and found that it does. I do a fair amount of exercise and therefore sweat quite a bit and you often hear that you need to replace the lost salt you sweat out. Has anyone got an opinion on the need to keep salt a bit higher for people doing a fair amount of exercise?
Great question, Ben. We all need a certain minimum amount sodium in our diets along with a "balance" of other electrolytes. Just how much we need varies by how much we consume from foods and how much we excrete. Sweat and certain medications deplete sodium along with other electrolytes. Just taste your sweat and you will likely sense a salty taste. Too much sodium in our diet is detrimental to sodium-sensitive people like you and can increase blood pressure. Drinking sufficient water helps to deplete excess sodium, but drinking excess water can lead to a dangerously low sodium condition called hyponatremia.
Potassium from foods regulate our sodium levels from becoming to high in the first place. Best way I know to circumvent this effect is to put down the salt shaker, drink more water, avoid any processed foods and eat more veggies. Be careful with potassium supplements as the can easily cause detrimental electrical disturbances in the heart. Reaching a BMI of <25 has a significant effect on lowering blood pressure too.
Thanks, I'll maybe see about getting something like this. I have not had any cramps since going lower salt but my salt intake is not that low and I do not go long distances. A 15k run is about the max. All my other variables are ok. I'm youngish (for blood pressure problems anyway) at 36, do plenty of exercise, and my bmi is 24 but only since I reduced salt intake have I been able to see blood pressure readings go under 120/80.
120/80, or below, is generally ideal. When people’s systolic BP goes below 90, or diastolic BP goes below 60, they typically will exhibit hypotension symptoms which can be quite dangerous.
I tend to have slightly high blood pressure. This is the first time I have had readings in the optimal region.
Another question. How do you get on with low carbs and biking? I have dropped my carbs drastically since finding Dr Brewer's vids and I have generally been feeling great. But I did some interval training today and found them significantly more challenging than usual. Is this something you get used to or do I need find a way to get some carbs in for these session?
Ben: Congratulations on normalizing your BP.
Managing a low-carb diet while exercising at high-intensity can be done but it takes perseverance and a period of adjustment. Our bodies preferentially burn fat at low intensity while burning carbohydrates at high intensity. The goal is to reduce carb intake while learning now to burn fat for fuel at all intensities.
To do this, maintain carbs at <100 grams per day and DON’T eat or drink carbs while doing and exercise. Start your exercise at 60-70% of your maximum heart rate, but don’t go higher. Get a decent heart rate monitor too. You will burn premoninantly fat for fuel at 60-70% of your MHR.. Resist taking in any carbs unless you go hypoglycemic. Do this for about a month then gradually increase your intensity by 5% per month while not taking in carbs. After building up by 5% per month for about 3 months you should be efficient at burning fat while exercising.
I can ride my bike quite easily at 85-90% of my MHR for 2-3 hours without anything but water. I do carry along an emergency stash of quick carbs if I need it in an emergency.
Thanks John, I guess I jumped in too early since going low carb. Typical overzealous behaviour. I'll try easing in more slowely as you suggest.
You’re welcome. You will still burn carbs at high intensity after you’ve learned how to burn fatty acids more efficiently, but you will burn less carbs and more fatty acids than you do now.
John: Thanks for the information about the Ultima Electrolyte Powder. I don't know why I never thought about using such a product even though I've been an avid bike rider for years here in hot and humid Florida. It seems to really make a difference in staying properly hydrated. There is another product, Body Earth Electrolyte Powder that seems to have nearly the same micronutrients, but is a bit cheaper than Ultima--on Amazon.
I tried Body Earth and didn’t care for the taste. It also clumps in the container as it seems to be hygroscopic. Ultima individual packets don’t clump and it tastes great.
Has anyone read the science re: sodium in long distance, high intensity exercise? I haven't yet. I did read Noakes' book about hyponatremia a few years ago when I prepping for an ultra. Then, when I started low-carb and fasting, I continued to be concerned about hyponetremia risk. After it became recognized as a risk for ultras, high-heat running, etc, I haven't heard of any significant events. Have you?
I just saw this excellent video on salt at another spot in the Forum. They cover why going low carb can drop your salt intake. And the NEJM recommendations (3gm saium, 7.5gm salt). AND they show exactly how much that is - ( 2 tspn).
I went down to 3g based on what is widely recommended but that's only 1 tsp. That's really not a lot and even without eating processed food it is quite hard to achieve. Food taste really bland. So I went up again and based on that video I'm using a good amount now.

Netflix has become nearly as indispensable to most Americans’ lives (or at least mine). I don’t even CARE that they’re raising prices by like $2 because I watch it every day, even when I’m not watching it and it’s just on for background noise.
Netflix can do no wrong. Not even when it glitches out and mismatches preview images with descriptions. Because all that leads to is a good laugh or several, as the following tweets prove.

I’ve been working hard these past few days to unpack all the boxes and bags from my move. I’m so happy to say I’m starting to feel so at home. My fairy lights were the first things to get unpacked and put up. It made my first night in so cosy. I wanted to share some sneak peek photos of the new space and promise to add more as I tidy up completely! So here goes…..
Making my living room mantle homely with cards and decorations.
Lights, ornaments (from a visit to a friend in Staunton, Virginia) and branch I found outside my new home. So excited to have two fireplace mantels to decorate!
My first tree I bought six years ago when I first arrived in the US, now sits overlooking the street, full of light.
The skylight and stairs shining light into the hallway. Let the *Sunshine* in.
My Tibetan bell hangs happily, inviting abundance into my home and creative space.
And finally *JOY* for being in this wonderful space I now call home, to fill an even bigger vase with corks from wine enjoyed and to host friends and family to fill the walls with memories, laughter and love.
Winners are: 1) Phoenix Peacock, 2) Tiffany, 3) Leila West Congratulations!

Florida's Largest Specialty Travel Agency!
Unknown to the Indians of Florida, their destiny was being determined by political and economic forces taking place across the Atlantic Ocean in Europe. At the end of the fifteenth century, thousands of daring adventurers would be crossing the ocean to conquer within a few centuries what had taken the Indians thousands to years to inhabit.
The conquistadors of Spain who ventured into the lands of the Indians were motivated by many forces. The discovery of gold in Mexico and Peru caused thousands of impoverished Spanish peasants to join the military. Under the rules of primogeniture, younger sons of the nobility would not inherit much of the family estate, but leading a successful colonial mission could give you the funds to build a castle.
Others sought glory and fame, now that the wars with the Moors were over. Only in the New World was there the opportunity for quick advancement in the Spanish military and diplomatic careers.
Finally, there were those who came for spiritual reasons. They were more than just the priests and church leaders. Catholic Spain had a strong missionary zeal, for they had engaged the Muslim infidels for four centuries. The eternal blessing of God would be earned by converting the Americas into Catholic lands.
This Site describes the 15 year Conquest of Native America. Cabeza de Vaca's eight years in North America, starting in 1528, set the stage for Coronado and Hernando de Soto to lead armies deep into America in the 1540's: Coronado from Mexico City and DeSoto from Cuba, Spain's "Ellis Island." Vaca was the first European to describe this continent, but only near its southern shoreline. DeSoto, at age 39, was rich from Incan gold and wanted to colonize North America. To do so, he planned to open a passage to trade Spain's New World fortunes with China, the largest supermarket in the world.
Intelligent Indians had told Vaca of a northern sea that DeSoto believed was the Pacific Ocean, the sea Balboa discovered beyond Panama, DeSoto's boyhood home. Magellan had sailed that sea to the Orient when DeSoto was 21 years old, but lost his life on that long voyage. DeSoto wanted to build a port on America's Northern Sea, then sail what he believed was a short distance across it to China. He planned to protect his "Northern Passage to China" from Mobile Bay, Alabama, which Vaca had visited and DeSoto planned to use as Spain's new "commanding" stronghold in America, home for his settlers and a beacon for New World settlement.
In March of 1513, Ponce de Leon sailed into the Bahamas headed toward Florida, then considered by slave hunters and fishermen to be a large island. He was seeking a spiritual rebirth with the fountain of youth, not a physical rebirth with some wonder water.
On Easter Sunday, March 27, 1513, his crew sighted land, probably Abaco Island. Six days later he reached the Florida coast and sailing northward to land near St. Augustine. He named the place "Pescua Florida", "the place of flowers," perhaps in honor of Easter Sunday.
