Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 343-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,374 on turnover of $7.6-billion N-T. The market closed down slightly on Wednesday after moving in consolidation mode as investers sentiment was muted ahead of the release of August's consumer price index data. Tech heavyweights fluctuated in narrow range before selling emerged late in the session - but turnover still shrank to its second lowest level so far this year as many investors opted to stay on the sidelines. Taiwan Wins 15 R&D 100 Awards The Ministry of Economic Affairs says Taiwan research institutions have won 15 awards at this year's R&D 100 Awards.

Last month, a family from northern Israel was visiting the museum when their youngest son tipped over the jar, smashing it into pieces. Restoration experts were able to carefully piece the 3,500-year-old item back together. The jar at the Hecht Museum in Haifa was one of the only containers of its size and from that period still complete when it was discovered. It was likely used to hold wine or oil, and dates back to between 2200 and 1500 B.C. The museum invited the family back for a special visit and hands-on activity to illustrate (說明) the restoration process.

Our guest on the show today is Tom Logan, the CEO of Mirion Technologies. Mirion was founded in 2005 and Tom has been the company's only CEO over that period of time. Mirion is a global leader in radiation measurement, serving end markets such as nuclear, life sciences, healthcare and industrial.

Sustainable Frozen Ecommerce Fulfillment with Cathy Hayward-Hughes and Mike Bradburn Mike Bradburn, Cathy Hayward-Hughes, and Joe Lynch discuss sustainable frozen ecommerce fulfillment. Mike and Cathy are the founders of Crystal Creek Logistics, a fulfillment company that specializes in sustainable frozen ecommerce fulfillment. About Mike Bradburn Michael Bradburn is the Co-founder and Vice President of Crystal Creek Logistics. Mike is forever a resident of the great Pacific Northwest. He has enjoyed an entrepreneurial spirit for most of his adult life and loves challenges. After graduating with a self-designed degree in Business with an emphasis on Advertising, Marketing and Consumer Buying Behavior from Western Washington University in 1982, Mike found his way into the Seafood industry where he marketed pacific coast species of seafood, mostly salmon - nationally and internationally for the better part of 20 years.  All the while, Mike would purchase old fixer-upper homes and remarket them – long before it was the chic thing to do! Mike also worked on several of his own real estate projects including building an office and retail complex, 28 luxury condominiums, a mini-storage facility, and a few residential homes. It was between projects in 2007 that a high school buddy suggested they have a beer with another high school buddy who was selling seafood over the internet. Mike was enthralled by this new and (at the time) somewhat unusual venture and sought to pursue this radical new direction full steam ahead. Mike managed to find an experienced and willing business partner in Cathy Hayward-Hughes and thus formed Crystal Creek Logistics to support the very business that his friend had started – and ultimately, many others like it. About Cathy Hayward-Hughes Cathy Hayward-Hughes is the Co-founder and President of Crystal Creek Logistics. Cathy was born into a fishing family in Alaska. She spent her childhood and much of her professional life managing people, originally on processing ships in the Bering Sea, then later in manufacturing.  Cathy holds a degree in Industrial Technology from Western Washington University. Cathy worked her way from the open oceans to land-based operations and eventually into internet fulfillment. Her long and varied career includes call center management, operations management, facilities management, packaging design and development, hiring and personnel retention programs, catalog development, production line design, product flow management, inventory management, and turnaround management. In 2008 Cathy, along with her partner Mike, started Crystal Creek Logistics, her own fulfillment company. What began with one client in a small warehouse operation in Ferndale, Washington, quickly expanded to 38 customers in five states with warehouses in Washington, Nebraska, Reno, and Virginia, and Tennessee. Cathy makes her home in Bellingham, Washington. In addition to running a successful business, in her free time, Cathy loves to paint, spend time with her family, and create new communities by renovating old buildings in Mexico. About Crystal Creek Logistics Crystal Creek is a direct-to-consumer fulfillment business that provides shipping for ecommerce retailers across the U.S. and Canada. Crystal Creek expertly ships perishable and non-perishable products at affordable rates. Crystal Creek is committed to successfully customizing and managing every step of the fulfillment process, from receiving orders to warehousing and shipping products. They specialize in transporting frozen food. Their climate-controlled warehouses will store your products until orders are fulfilled and shipped via carriers of your choosing. Crystal Creek also ships frozen orders to Canada for next day delivery, two-day, or ground service.

Crystal Creek is a Certified B-Corporation, which means the company meets higher standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. Crystal Creek Logistics has fulfillment centers in Washington, Nebraska, Nevada, Virginia, and Tennessee. Key Takeaways: Sustainable Frozen Ecommerce Fulfillment Frozen ecommerce fulfillment is the process of receiving, storing, packaging, and shipping orders that need to stay frozen. Frozen ecommerce fulfillment is much more challenging than ecommerce fulfillment because the product must stay below a certain temperature. Because the product (usually food) must maintain a low temperature, dry ice, and or frozen gel packs must be utilized. The longer the transit time, the more dry ice (and cost) is required so shippers must select a fulfillment company close to their customers. Sustainability is the management and coordination of environmental, social, and financial demands and concerns to ensure responsible, ethical, and ongoing success. Crystal Creek Logistics is a Certified B Corporation. B Corporation is a private certification for for-profit companies. B Corp certification is conferred by B Lab, a global nonprofit organization with offices in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. To be granted and to maintain certification, companies must receive a minimum score from an assessment of social and environmental performance. Companies must re-certify every three years to retain B Corporation status.

Imagine a 3D model of your industrial facility with objects (or people, controversially) tracked in real time. Perfect for manufacturers, engineering companies, warehouses and anywhere where it's good to know where stuff is.Our guest is Logan Maxwell of WISER Systems, who's at the sharp end of putting this type of cutting edge tech into places that would make a desktop PC or average laptop quake in its virtual boots.Logan talks about his specific company's products, but also about perceptions of IoT in general, different ways people try to use the technology, and some use cases that are not quite always benign!Off the back of a career-ette in start-up manufacturing himself, he's been with WISER from the beginning, watching it grow from his old professor's pet project into a thriving business that's convincing many hardened industry types.We also touch on how to get positive messages over about technology, and how best to assure people that they're not going to be replaced by robots if they dare to go to the bathroom too often at work.Logan's company, WISER's website is here:https://www.wisersystems.com/ And Joe's LinkedIn is here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephedwardgreen/

Industrial Technology Research Institute is located in the northern part of Taiwan, Hsinchu, won two Edison Awards for 2020 for their contributions to innovation. In the first of their two wins, ITRI took the Edison Award Gold in the Adhesives category for their product Celluad, a product developed in part by Dr. Lin, Research Director of Materials Research and Development at the company. Dr. Lin joined Justin Starbird and explained how Celluad was created using cellulose, an organic material found in plant cell walls, this adhesive is low-cost, strong, water-resistant, and environmentally friendly. Compatible with existing manufacturing processes, Celluad provides excellent adhesion when applied to plywood, flooring, and lumber core board. Most importantly, ITRI's adhesive is completely free of formaldehyde, a carcinogenic chemical found in the resin used to construct most artificial wooden boards. In this way, ITRI offers an adhesive solution that is effective and affordable as well as healthier for manufacturers, consumers, and the environment. The second award ITRI received this year was bronze in Cellular Research for iKNOBEADS, the world's first and only biomimetic magnetic beads capable of fighting cancer by stimulating, expanding, and strengthening T cells through imitation of the immune system. Dr. Chen also joined Justin and worked directly on their development, explains that the knobby shape which gives iKNOBEADS their name and makes them so effective was the result of a happy accident that occurred while experimenting with different bead sizes when it was found that the addition of texture to the beads increased expansion rate. Because of this, iKNOBEADS not only fight cancer but do so with an incubation period reduced by three to four days, reducing opportunities for contamination and saving money. Listen as Dr. Lin and Dr. Chen talk through innovation, commercialization and what winning an Edison Award has meant for ITRI.

Good afternoon lacrosse fans and thank you for reading the Utah Lax Report. This is coming later in the day since I wanted to share some important information from Intermountain Lacrosse. Let's get to it! Intermountain LacrosseI spoke with IMLAX Boys Coordinator, Collin Madsen, about his role in the organization and about the possibility of playing this season. He shared some interesting insight so please give it a listen! It sounds like we'll have to wait until later in the week to see the exact plans and then it will be up to the teams to respond. In my opinion, I think full games for the non-sanctioned high school league would be without fans and temperatures taken before games for coaches and players. For youth, I could see fans spread out but limited to 1 or 2 fans per player. News & UpdatesThe Herald Journal wrote about the Cache Valley girls programs. The Park Record profiled Park City midfielder Brady Baumann and spoke with him about committing to play at Marist. The Daily Universe wrote about the Monson sisters who star on the BYU Women's team.Inside Lacrosse published an article about The Geography of Men's DI Lacrosse. The article broke down where D-I men's lacrosse players are coming from. Players are still coming from traditional hotbeds but the article points out rises in players from Colorado, Michigan and Texas. Along with Georgia, these states produced 13% of the DI men's lacrosse freshmen in 2020. That is nearly double where those states were in 2014 (7%).Since 2014, Utah has had 25 commits. The article breaks it down by county which looks like this for Utah: 1 - Cache Valley 1 - Davis16 - Salt Lake6 - Summit 1 - UtahNote that these are Freshman on D-I teams so Josh Stout, Cam Redmond and Aaron Fjeldsted aren't counted since they weren't Freshman when Utah went D-I.

Big J has a contagious laugh and a big personality; he always brightens up practice. Big J was a great leader with a big, booming voice calling for the slide. Trevor Bodily - Middie - Trevor was one of our senior captains and an offensive phenom on the field. With one of the biggest lacrosse IQ's I've had the privilege to coach, Trevor always got the ball where it needed to be for the highest percentage shot. He was also great on transition; something every coach wants: an offensive middie that causes havoc on the clear. Trevor was a phenomenal leader who mentored and took extra time to coach up his underclassmen. Maverick Douglas - Middie - This was Maverick's first year playing lacrosse. He came into the sport excited and ready to suit up. He would always be in my classroom asking questions and responding with, "that's sick, coach!" His excitement was contagious.  Maverick worked his butt off in-and-out of practice to get to the level we wanted him to play at. Lacrosse isn't an easy sport to pick up, but Maverick became a great D-middie for us that we could depend on. Brody McKinnon - Middie - Brody decided to come back to the great sport of lacrosse this year after a few years off. A standout track athlete, Brody could zoom across the field in record time. He played the wing on faceoff and never got beat off the whistle.

He loved standing by coaches to dissect the game. Finn saw lacrosse as a team sport and pushed his teammates to be better individually and as a squad.  Quincy Wildman - Attack - An All-State wrestler, Quincy came back to the game after a few years off. Humble, yet with the strength of an ox, Quincy could truck through just about any defender with ease while still cradling two-handed. Quincy never had a bad attitude; he just put his shoulder down and worked as hard as we asked him to.  An incredible teammate, Quincy can get along with just about anyone; one of those traits that coaches need but is almost impossible to teach.  Lone Peak GirlsAva Neuenschwander - Offense: Ava is extremely passionate. She fights for what she believes in, on and off the field. Ava is always focused. At practice she was always watching others and was focused on her goal of becoming a better lacrosse player. When she has a goal set, you know that she will do anything to reach that goal. Ava was one of our secret weapons. She at times would seem pretty quiet but you could see in her work ethic that she was always listening and learning and would prove that on the field. She could defend on the offensive side like no ones business. She is someone I would pick for my team 10 times out of 10. Ava plans on attending BYU in the fall.Monet Winger - Mid/Center: Monet has such an incredible spirit. She always had a smile on her face and even if she had a rough day, she was still laughing and joking and continued to be a team player. Monet didn't play just one position. She was the whole package. Monet is so fast she was incredibly hard to defeat or defend. Monet's shot was fire. It could come out of nowhere and it was pretty unstoppable. She could stop anyone on defense and she was always ready to make the assist on attack. Monet is a hard worker on and off the field. She was always hustling at practice pushing herself to the max and others, including her teammates, would see that and follow her lead. Monet always put her team first. While being busy with track, school work, and so many other things going on in her life, she always gave her team full dedication. Her team could trust her fully and that is such an amazing quality. Monet plans to attend BYU in the fall and hopes to tryout for the women's lacrosse team.Brooke Galbraith - Mid/Center: Brooke is a force to be reckoned with. She pushed her limits during conditioning even when others wanted the workouts to end. She is committed to the sport that she loves. You can see this in her daily practice as she plays like it is a game and that truly pays off when it is game time. I have never seen a more dedicated player or a girl who loves the game more. Brooke pushes herself to be better in every way, and that motivation will take her so far in life. She was also someone her teammates could always count on. She was where she needed to be at exactly the right times. One of the best defenders and attackers I've ever met and Brookes shot was one of the strongest, most powerful, forceful, finesse filled shots I've ever seen. Brooke is an incredible athlete. She plans to attend Utah State in the fall and hopes to tryout for the women's lacrosse team.Summer Mohowski - Center/Mid: Summer is NUTS. She's loud, constantly excited, and would bring so much spunk to the field. But she is so incredible. She has a smile that can never be copied. It's so contagious. When she wouldn't be at practice and when she would, there was always such a different vibe. She had the ability to pump up her teammates not only when they needed it, but all the time. Summer can make a whole team feel included and united so easily. She also carried that personality with her on the field. She was encouraging to every player out there and would push herself more than we could have pushed her. Despite previous injury setbacks, she continued to work hard and prove her abilities on attack and through the midfield. Like the others, she would observe, improve, and then crush her goals. She had an incredible shot, she was a brick wall on defense, and could win the draw 9 times out of 10. She was always able to channel all her energy into her field play and it worked so well for her. Summer plans on attending UVU in the fall and hopes to serve an LDS mission in the spring.Tiffany Lee - Offense: Tiff is so spunky. Even when training, practices, and our few games became tough she maintained an upbeat attitude and tried to help her teammates remain positive as well. She always has a smile on her face and is ready to take on whatever challenges come her way. She's positive, brings life to the party, is bright, energetic, funny and passionate. As much fun as she had at practice she had just as much passion for the game. Tiff has so much skill on the lacrosse field. Anyone would much rather play with her than against her. She is so fluid in the way she plays and makes it so no matter who she's playing with she makes them look good too. She was also encouraging to the coaches and would cheer us on when things would go right. Tiff plans on attending BYU in the fall and hopes to tryout for the women's lacrosse team.Gwen Chandler - Defense: Gwen picked up lacrosse in the fall having transitioned from soccer and we would have never known she had never played before. Her athletic abilities are outstanding and I'm so glad she chose to make the switch. She is the type of athlete every coach wants on their team because she was always asking for things she could work on so she could get better. Gwen was killer on defense. She was one of the fastest down there. Her team could always count on her to stop the ride down the field or help push the double team. Even having been new to the sport, because of her athletic mindset and previous training, she always knew where to be and when to be there. Gwen is a fantastic player, a fantastic athlete, and she is going to be unstoppable. Gwen plans to attend Utah State in the fall and hopes to tryout for the women's lacrosse team.Isabella Turner - Defense: Izzy is incredible. She is a leader at heart. Any time we asked her to do something, she'd do it. At practice, during conditioning, on the field, it didn't matter. She is more mature than her age would tell which really helped us as coaches a lot. Izzy is also an incredibly dependable leader and she always did it with a smile! She could reel the girls in when we needed them and we could rely on her at any time. Izzy is crazy talented. I don't know who taught her to play but they did a really great job. She is someone you can always count on to be where the ball is, to make the catch, to make the right pass, to defend through the midfield, etc. Just like her teammates, Izzy is a force to be reckoned with. Once you get her down on defense she is a rock, and NO ONE is getting past her. Izzy plans to attend BYU in the fall and hopes to tryout for the women's lacrosse team.Park City GirlsKatherine Luebbers - Started playing in 3rd grade and has played lacrosse ever since. Katherine has played for Park City her whole life including club teams (Mamaci, Tenacity, Select, the Utah National team) and more.

Sage loves the competition and the intensity of lacrosse and will miss it the team when she attends Cal Poly next year to study biochemistry. Sky Jalili - Started playing lacrosse sophomore year and it's been an amazing experience for her since then. Sky is grateful for lacrosse as she has made lots of new friends while staying in shape. Sky has come come to love the game more than she expected and hopes to play either club or intramural lacrosse in college. Sky plans to major in engineering or computer science at the University of Utah or University of San Diego next year.Audrey Buchanan - Played competitive seasons for Utah Mamaci and Utah NahWah. Audrey has also traveled to the national tournament in Baltimore, MD to play with the Utah/Idaho team. Audrey plans to attend University of Hartford in the fall where she will play on the lacrosse team.Caroline Haiijer - Started playing lacrosse freshman year for the purpose of having a fun activity to keep in shape for skiing. She also feels lacrosse gave her a little change of pace when her schedule became repetitive. Caroline talks about how she had a very positive experience, met a number of close friends through the team, and was encouraged to continue playing throughout high school. She plans to attend Babson College in Wellesley, MA where she will major in business analytics or information technology management.Caroline Powell - First began playing lacrosse after transitioning from playing tennis her whole life. She talks about how it took her a bit to get used to the sport but eventually found her place as an attacker on JV. Caroline credits her coaches and amazing teammates she has had over the last 2.5 years for her progress. Caroline will attend Cal Poly SLO where she hopes to pursue a degree in Industrial Technology and Design. She also hopes to continue playing lacrosse on a club or intramural level. Cami Burke - Has been playing lacrosse for four years.

This is the story of a dream come true.My dad was born on September, 1946 in Centerville, Iowa as the oldest of what would eventually be five siblings. After a difficult childhood bouncing between Iowa and Southern California he ran away from home the summer before his senior year. He would finish high school, and then spent four years in the Navy. Although he was in the Navy during the Vietnam War, he was stationed in the Atlantic and in his words the most action he saw during Vietnam was “throwing rocks at Cubans”.After his four-year tour, dad attended college and completed an undergraduate degree in Industrial Technology at California Polytechnic State University. He met and married his first wife, had what would be his only child, and went on to live his life. With a divorce, a second marriage, a second divorce, a graduate degree from the University of San Francisco, and a series of middle- and upper-management positions with various companies.Dad would eventually settle in San Diego, California, in 1997. He choose San Diego because he wanted to finally be able in indulge in what had been a life-long dream for him – sailing. After much preparation, he retired in 2000 at the age of 54 to start cruising.Although the start of his cruising life was a bit … rocky (see “Remembering Lazarus”) he left San Diego for Mexico and spent a year cruising in the Gulf of California. But his real target was the Caribbean. He had thought to sail down the coast and through the Panama Canal, but eventually decided to just put his boat – Vantage Point, a 38-foot Catalina – on a truck to Florida.And it was while staying in Florida, waiting for his then-current girl-friend to pack up and be ready to leave for the Caribbean with him, than he started writing.This is his story. In his words.Download

On this episode, Rick Moore, CIO at NCQA, joins us for a discussion about what's next for digital quality measurement. Rick likes to call this Digital Quality Measures 2.0 and you can see it coming to life in NCQA's eMeasure Certification (eMC) program.  The program aims to take burden away from health plans and auditors by establishing a process for generating standard supplemental data for HEDIS measures. This will enable software vendors, providers, HIEs and others to more effectively and efficiently provide needed clinical data without all the manual chart pulls (you can see the certified vendors here). Additionally, the eMeasure test process is now approved as the only alternative to the Project Cypress toolset in the ONC Health IT Certification Program. Rick sees great opportunity ahead for a few reasons: The community is more engaged (vendors, providers, payers) The government has backed off (a bit) on mandating specifically how things will be done There are more options available to providers These factors, coupled with the rise of promising new specifications like Clinical Quality Language (CQL) and FHIR, might put us in a position to move away from performance-based measures of providers and towards holistic, patient-centered measures; away from manual data entry and toward clinical data that is automatically collected as a by-product of the physician workflow. At the same time, he is realistic and offers several cautions: We can't wait for CQL and FHIR. Let's move forward with what we've got now and upgrade along the way. We can't just toss out process measures and go strictly outcomes measures. We need both. We can't mandate interoperabillity as the basis for all measures right away We address these issues and so much more, including: What is the National Committee for Quality Assurance or NCQA? (0:55) What's NCQA's role in monitoring quality in healthcare? (2:08) What's the difference between process measures and outcomes measures? What about Patient Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs) vs. institutionally focused outcomes measures? (4:35) How does NCQA decide what's worth measuring especially when you consider the high levels of administrative burden and burnout on the physicians? (10:00) The unintended consequences of value-based payment (13:00) What if we decided that from this point forward we would only have measures that could be collected digitally? (15:30) Structured vs. unstructured data (20:00) Manually entered and properly coded vs. automatically captured data points (23:45) What if we decided that from this point forward we won't collect measures unless we have interoperabillity? Would we get interoperabillity more quickly? (25:30) Why aren't we using all the digital info that is already available? Think manual chart pulls instead of data extracts or queries against Health Information Exchanges (HIE)? 27:30 Do you agree with the following statement? Some health systems will make the investment needed to satisfy quality measure requirements without a major burden on providers and that will give them a competitive advantage because doctors will choose to work there (33:00) What is the Electronic Measure Certification (eMC) program? (39:00) Does the eMC program serve as a vehicle for HIEs and other community aggregators to get in the HEDIS measurement flow by providing standard supplemental data to the health plans? (49:00) What advice would you give doctors who want to have more of a say in the quality measure specifications going forward? (51:25) Where can listeners learn more about you, NCQA and the eMC program? (51:25) There's a lot here. I hope you enjoy it! ~ Don Lee Mentioned on the podcast Re-imagining Quality Measurement by Shahid Shah (presented at The Digital Quality Summit) The Digital Quality Summit | Held November 1-2, 2017, Washington, DC HL7 and NCQA partnered to host the Digital Quality Summit - gathering the best and brightest in health care and technology to demonstrate methods for eliminating measurement burdens and bridging the digital gap.
