INTEGRITY MESSAGE SERIES 2 : THE THREE TYPES OF PEOPLE

A teacher shows three toys to a student and asks the student to find out the differences. All the three toys are seemed to be identical in their shape, size and material. After keen observation, the student observes holes in the toys. 1st toy it has holes in ears. 2nd toy has holes in ear and mouth. 3rd toy has only one hole in one ear. 
 
Than with the help of needle, the student puts the needle in the ear hole of 1st toy. The needle comes out from the other ear. In the 2nd toy, when the needle was put in ear, the needle come out of the mouth. And in the 3rd toy, when the needle was put in, the needle did not come out. 
 
First toy represent those people around you who gives an impression that they are listening to you, all your things and care for you. But they just pretend to do so. After listening, as the needle comes out from the next ear, the things you said to them by counting on them, are gone. So be careful while you are speaking to this type of people around you, who does not care for you. 
 
Second toy represent those people who listens to you, all your things and gives impression that they care for you. But as in the toy, the needle comes out from mouth. These peoplewill use your things and the words you tell them against you by telling it to others and bringing out the confidential issues for their own purpose. 
 
Third toy, the needle does not come out from it. These kinds of people, will keep the trust you have in them. They are the ones who you can count on.
 
How to identify these types of people? Trust your instinct and believe your gut feeling. 
MORAL : 
ALWAYS STAY IN A COMPANY OF A PEOPLE WHO ARE LOYAL AND TRUSTWORTHY. PEOPLE, WHO LISTEN TO WHAT YOU TELL THEM, ARE NOT ALWAYS THE ONES YOU CAN COUNT ON, WHEN YOU NEED THEM THE MOST. REMEMBER OUR MALAY PROVERB, “TELUNJUK LURUS, KELINGKING BERKAIT.”.
Thank you for your time, and till we meet again.
P/S : This message will be brought to you on 9th and 23rd of every month. In shaa Allah.

BioCAS 2016 Workshop: BrainCAS 2016

Dear IEEE CAS Community,
We wish to invite you to attend the 1st BrainCAS workshop (the post-conference workshop to IEEE BioCAS 2016).
This will be held on October 20-21, 2016 in Hangzhou (http://www.biocas2016.org/venue.html). BrainCAS will be a unique forum for showcasing the latest in neurotechnology and neuroscience and identifying challenges and opportunities. The workshop will align to a different theme for each day: neural interfacing technology (day 1) and brain machine interfaces (day 2). It will feature an outstanding and highly innovative technical programme aimed at facilitating engagement between the neurosciences, neural engineering, medical, IEEE and CAS communities. Invited experts from the international neuroscience and neurotechnology communities will provide their insights, pose the challenges, and present opportunities.

Through a unique program, the “audience” will be in continuous interaction. The goal is for every participant to leave BrainCAS: (1) with new contacts; and (2) with new ideas!

Workshop Format:
BrainCAS will, for the first time, feature a creative, interactive technical programme that will shift the focus from a traditional “presenter-focused” workshop to one that ALL participants interact and contribute to. This non-traditional workshop format will provide opportunities for BioCAS members and engineers to find collaborators, and to identify and develop new ideas together. Neuroscientists and physicians will benefit from finding collaborating engineers, scientists and deepen their knowledge on forefront technologies. Learning about neuroscience and neurotechnology in an interactive way will help students, and newcomers to the field to understand the cutting edge of neural interfaces, BMI and neuromodulation. Experts can learn more about the latest scientific results through the talks and discussion.
To facilitate this level of interaction, the technical programme will feature a number of different formats:
  • Keynote talks – to inspire, hear new perspectives, and portray a vision
  • Technical talks – designed to communicate the state-of-the-art and beyond, identifying the challenges and new opportunities.
  • Small group interaction – to meet new people, collaborate, discuss, brainstorm and propose new ideas.
  • Evening discussion posters – for participants to showcase to their peers their latest and greatest work!
  • Social program – to get to know people, continue discussion or simply take a break, through lunch, coffee breaks, dinner, and scheduled “free time”!
Call for Discussion Posters
The evening session on the first day will be an informal interactive session with dinner and drinks. All participants (including participants’ profiles, and compiled in a “workshop proceedings” that will be provided to all participants. The posters are mainly to facilitate discussions and can be based on either published or yet-published results. These will be checked/reviewed – only to ensure they are within scope of the workshop. Registration and poster submission via: http://www.biocas2016.org/registration.html and http://www.biocas2016.org/postersubmission.php
Speakers: Ralph Etienne-Cummings (Johns Hopkins University), Jaimie Henderson (Stanford University), Andrew Jackson (Newcastle University), Takashi D. Yoshida Kozai (University of Pittsburgh), Wentai Liu (UCLA), Yi Lu (Chinese Academy of Sciences), Zoltan Mari (Johns Hopkins University), Victor Pikov (GlaxoSmithKline), John Seymour (University of Michigan), Marc Slutzky (Northwestern University), Huajin Tang (Sichuan University)
