Parkinson's Foundation 2017 ABOUT THE P SYMBOL The Parkinson’s Foundation logo in the shape of an uppercase letter “P” not only stands for Parkinson’s — it also suggests a speech bubble reflecting the many voices in the global Parkinson’s community that contribute to our mission. “ The Parkinson’s Foundation has changed my life. By introducing me to the power of exercise, through a Foundation-funded exercise class, I am healthier today than when I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s more than 11 years ago. The Foundation’s information and resources have helped me understand the issues I am facing and how I can live a healthier and more productive life. More importantly, the Foundation has introduced me to a community of incredible people that care for and support each other as we progress with the disease.” Jim Morgan, 60 Living with Parkinson’s disease alongside the support of his wife, Missy. Parkinson’s Foundation South Florida Chapter Committee Member, Moving Day Miami Team Captain 1 MESSAGE FROM THE CEO I am pleased to present the first annual report for the Parkinson’s Foundation representing our 2017 achievements. In 2016, two legacy organizations, the National Parkinson Foundation (NPF) and the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation (PDF), merged to form the Parkinson’s Foundation. This report reflects the seminal milestones of our 60-year combined history as an organization. For the one million Americans currently struggling with Parkinson’s, it is imperative that we make progress today. The Parkinson’s Foundation is the leader in understanding Parkinson’s through research; ensuring better medical care; and educating and empowering the Parkinson’s community. These guiding pillars of our work will allow us to take a chronic, degenerative disease and give people hope of independence and quality of life. Within these pages, you will learn how we are helping people like Jim Morgan (adjacent page) who has been living with Parkinson’s for more than a decade. He is not letting Parkinson’s slow him down and he is a strong voice within the Parkinson’s community. With the support of researchers, health care professionals, volunteers and donors around the world, we can create better lives for people like Jim; but we can only do this together. In 2018, we transition to new board leadership at the Parkinson’s Foundation. John W. Kozyak, Esq. has served as Chairman of the Parkinson’s Foundation Board of Directors and will be retiring from this post. We thank John for his decade of service on behalf of the Parkinson’s community and his tremendous efforts to bring NPF and PDF together. We warmly welcome Howard Morgan as the incoming Chairman. In the year ahead, we have many promising research initiatives and 60,000 more Americans who will be newly diagnosed to support. We could not do this without your commitment to the cause. Thank you for believing in our mission to make life better for people with Parkinson’s and their families. Thank you, ABOUT THE PARKINSON’S FOUNDATION The Parkinson’s Foundation makes life better for people with Parkinson’s disease by improving care and John L. Lehr advancing research toward a cure. In everything we do, President and Chief Executive Officer we build on the energy, experience and passion of our global Parkinson’s community.

ANNUAL REPORT • 2017 2 Understanding Parkinson’s through Research “I was at a critical point in my novel deep brain stimulation study when I received a grant from the Parkinson’s Foundation. The grant allowed me to continue my work and further explore this Parkinson’s disease treatment. It is really encouraging to have my work supported by the Parkinson’s Foundation, especially as a post doctorate.” — Jing Wang, PhD Parkinson’s Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow Research Associate, University of Minnesota Since 1957, the Foundation has invested more In 1997, Foundation postdoctoral fellow, Dr. than $330 million in Parkinson’s research Roger Duvoisin discovered the first Parkinson’s- and clinical care.

The Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) is part of the remote sensing payload of the Cassini orbiter spacecraft. UVIS has two spectrographic channels that provide images and spectra covering the ranges from 56 to 118 nm and 110 to 190 nm. A third optical path with a solar blind CsI photocathode is used for high signal-to-noise-ratio stellar occultations by rings and atmospheres.

Text by Tessel M. Bauduin, Daniel Birnbaum, Briony Fer, Vivien Greene, David Max Horowitz, Andrea Kollnitz, Helen Molesworth, Julia Voss. When Swedish artist Hilma af Klint died in 1944 at the age of 81, she left behind more than 1,000 paintings and works on paper that she had kept largely private during her lifetime. Believing the world was not yet ready for her art, she stipulated that it should remain unseen for another 20 years. But only in recent decades has the public had a chance to reckon with af Klint’s radically abstract painting practice—one which predates the work of Vasily Kandinsky and other artists widely considered trailblazers of modernist abstraction. Her boldly colorful works, many of them large-scale, reflect an ambitious, spiritually informed attempt to chart an invisible, totalizing world order through a synthesis of natural and geometric forms, textual elements and esoteric symbolism.

    Rev.Adv.Mater.Sci.Beams of atomic clusters: 11 (2006) effects 19-45 on impact with solids 19 BEAMS OF ATOMIC CLUSTERS: EFFECTS ON IMPACT WITH SOLIDS V.N. Popok and E.E.B. Campbell Department of Physics, Göteborg University, 41296 Göteborg, Sweden Received: May 12, 2005 Abstract. A state-of-the-art review in the field of cluster beams and energetic cluster-surface interaction is presented. Ionised cluster beams are considered to be a controllable and versatile tool for modification and processing of surfaces and near-surface layers on an atomic scale as an alternative to ion implantation, ion assisted deposition and some other methods. A brief introduction to the history of cluster beams is given as well as a discussion of the capabilities of cluster beams for a variety of applications in material science, electronics and optics. Techniques for producing atomic and molecular clusters are described. Energetic cluster deposition and cluster implantation as well as related physical effects are the main emphasis of the review. In the final part of the paper the attention is focused on the study of surface erosion (crater formation) under energetic cluster ion impact. 1.

The computer system designed to calculate the school awards mistakenly counted "round zero" of LD, PF, and CX as round one, which negatively affected the calculations. The correct list appears here. All schools recognized during the awards ceremony who had any eligible debate points are still being honored with a school award. The organization believes that no eligible school should lose recognition, but that the organization should, to the best of its ability, recognize school achievement at an appropriate level that reflects the adjustments that were made. The National Speech & Debate Association takes pride in honoring students, coaches, and schools at the highest level.
