Progress (or lack of it) report

Seven months have elapsed since I last posted to this blog.  What's happened?

Well, there have been several hundred page visits (not several thousand or million).

The universities who showed initial interest somewhat stole away in the night.  One (actually two, in partnership) would LOVE to work on this problem with some graduate students, PROVIDED I'd pay for the work.  Right...

Meetings in Washington D.C. were encouraging several times, but no follow-up occurred.  After a series of attempts to follow up, I quit chasing each of those trails for the moment.

I do include one slide in most of my "innovation denied" talks--that is the Big Data slide which shows the rising number of COPD deaths, and the correlation between smokers and lung cancer, alongside the remarkably NON-CORRELATED COPD rates.

Most of these audiences, primarily high-tech managers, seem properly impressed, without any means or apparent interest to go chase this problem.

As for InnovaScapes Institute, we ourselves are busy with other projects too.  Perhaps, though, we could put together a small monograph regarding Big Data?

  1. I'm 49 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting to underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was having is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they start to find solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 59 now who was diagnose COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but i was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of  Dr Akhigbe   total cure herbal medicine. my husband saw his testimony on the internet he used his powerful medicine to cured differents diseases. we contacted his email   [drrealakhigbe@gmail.com}   He has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and others diseases, will cure you totally and permanently with his natural organic herbs,We received the medicine through courier delivery service.
