You made it to Forum. Not just any UK Forum. Metaswitch Forum. And not just any Metaswitch Tel: +44 20 8366 1177 Forum, our tenth Forum. It will undoubtedly be the big- Tw: @metaswitch gest and best — especially now that YOU are here. I’m not actually sure why we use the word “Forum.” EDITORIAL The dictionary says it’s a place where ideas are dis- Editorial Director cussed and exchanged, and while that’s most certainly Phil Harvey true, we all like to make it much more than that. So (phil.harvey@metaswitch.com) yes, it’s a Forum, but it’s also a tradeshow. In the most traditional way – you know, where trade is made and a Contributing Editors Michelle Donegan, Erin Barker, WWWshow.METASWITCH.COM is put on. If you guys can handle the trade part, I’ll handle the show. But it’s not just a tradeshow either. Steve Gleave, Elaine Steffani, Carol Daniels It’s a workshop, a concentrated education, a place to share, to be inspired and to enjoy. And most of all it’s ART/ADVERTISING Art Director Lee Queza an event that we commit to make worthy of the time WWW.METASWITCH.COM and money that you have invested to be here.

Yet here I am, heading up a fourth. Why? Because I’ve never been so inspired by our theme, content and the state of the industry. The “brains of the new global network” is such an appropri- WWW.METASWITCH.COM ate and versatile theme, rich in analogies with our own body’s control center. This isn’t just a one and done for Forum, but a theme, a brand, that we will continue to develop and extend. CONTENT WWW.METASWITCH.COM Our event is stacked with original content. We have the strongest, broadest line-up of speakers ever, a “top 2 - Welcome to Metaswitch Forum 2014 of mind” pre-conference workshop on hosted business WWWservices.METASWITCH.COM and a terrific roster of sponsors, partners and entertaining activities.

Jason Silva also created the web series “Future of Us” for AOL, exploring exponential technology and the future of humanity. The Imaginary Foundation wrote of Jason Silva, “like some kind of Ontological DJ, he recompiles the source code of western philosophy by mixing and mashing it up into a form of recombinant creativity, which elevates understanding from the dry and prosaic, to a sensual cognitive romance.” Others have described Jason Silva as “a modern performance

Ortner, Chair Based on ethnographic data, this dissertation analyzes the broadcasting and media reformative models of workers in American television and internet video news networks. Media reform broadcasters seek to diversify the American public sphere as a counterhegemonic movement through recursively using technology and policy to create access for increased diversity of voice. Their challenges illustrate the problems for democracy in a neoliberal state. ii This dissertation of Adam Richard Fish is approved. Christopher Kelty Akhil Gupta John T. Caldwell Sherry B.

    ATEOTT 16 Transcript EPISODE 16 [INTRO] [00:00:02] ML: It was the first time in my life that I’d ever had had a panic attack. Just googling ​ ​ ​ those drugs, knowing nothing about either condition, I just couldn’t believe what I was reading, just how bad these conditions get. That nobody has ever survived Alzheimer’s disease. It wasn’t even clear whether or not my mom had Alzheimer’s disease, but she was given drugs for the condition, and Parkinson’s disease as well. I was like, “Well, what’s the big deal about Parkinson’s disease?” Then I started reading about how people with Parkinson’s disease, they lose their ability to move. Many of them end up actually dying, because they choke when trying to eat, a major cause of mortality. People with Parkinson’s, late stage Parkinson’s disease. Just thinking about my mom going through that was just the most upsetting thing imaginable. It was just really, really dark. I remember my heart racing. [00:01:04] LW: Hi, friends. Welcome back to another episode of At The End Of The Tunnel. ​ ​ ​ Today, I’m talking to somebody whose journalism career went in a slightly different direction after his mother was diagnosed with a degenerative brain disease. I got to meet Max Lugavere several years ago when he so graciously agreed to come to one of my Shine events and share the story of how he became one of the leading authorities on brain health. Since then, Max has become a dear friend and quite the expert particularly on the food that you should be eating to keep your brain healthy, and he put it all in his New York Times bestselling book on the subject called Genius Foods.
